ELECTION OF LORD MAYOR. COURT OF ALDERMEN. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Alter some confusion, Mr. Alderman Wool) replied. After going over a considerable portion of tly. ground traversed in his first speech, the worthy Alderman con cluded by throwing himself and his cause on the justice of the Court. He was willing to submit to any investiga tion, to lay his case before any tribunal, and he relied with confidence on the justic e of the public. Mr. Alderman COPELAND moved for a committee, to inquire into the whole matters with which Mr. Alderman Wood was alleged to be c onnected. After some considerable discussion for and against how- the mo tion, an amendment wasp rcyosed,which was e ver lost ; and the ori g inal motion having been put, Mr. Alerman HEIAPHERY moved, as an amendment, that the Sheriff's report be read. A show of hands was taken, when there appeared — For the amendment 9 For the original motion 5 A division was afterwards called for, and the numbers were ascertained to be— For the amendment 7 For the motion The names being for the For the amendment— motion — Aldermen Kelly Aldermen Hurephery Copeland Wilson Laurie Maguey Duke Gibbs Hunter Farneoinbe Moon Hughes Sidney Aldermen Sir George Carroll and Wood did not vote The Lord Mayor gave his casting vote for the amend ment. Alderman SIDNEY then moved a further amendment, that the papers (relating to Mr. Alderman Wood) be read, which was lost by a majority of three. The Sheriffs then announced the names of the two al dermen returned by the Livery, and the public were or dered to be excluded from Court. COMMON HALL. The hall was opened yesterday, at twelve o'clock, by Mr. Harker, the crier, when the Sheriffs and the Se condaries having taken their places on the hustings, Mr. Sheriff stsa.t.t.ts announced that the poll-books having been opened and cast up yesterday, in the pre sence of the agents for all parties, the following was found to be the official state of it : For Mr. Alderman Wood 1,644 „ Sir Geo. Carroll 1,653 „ Mr. Alderman Hooper „ Mr. Alderman Farncomb 1 „ Mr. Alderman Moon 3 The SHERIFF then declared the election of the Livery to have fallen on Alderman Thomas Wood and Sir Geo. Carroll, and those two gentlemen would be returned by the Sheriff to the Court of Aldermen for that Court to elect one to serve the office of Chief Magistrate for the year ensuing. The Sheriffs, Under-Sheriffs, and Secondary then re tired to the Court of Alderman to make their return to that Court. After an interval of upwards of three hours, the Lord Mayor, accompanied by a large number of the Court of Aldermen, entered the hall. Among them we noticed Aldermen Sir G. Carroll, Humphery, Laurie, Wood, Duke, Copeland, Farebrother, Sidney, &c. On the Lord Mayer taking his seat, The RECORDER came forward, but was for some time unable to obtain a hearing. Silence being in some de gree restored, he said—" Gentlemen of the Livery, I am directed to inform you that the election has fallen on Alderman Sir George Carroll, citizenand spectacle-maker, to be Lord Mayor of this metropolis for the ensuing year." The noises that shook the hall on this announce ment being made were fearful, and the Learned Recorder, although he patiently awaited a calm for some time, was at last obliged to make a precipitate retreat. Sir GEORGE CARROLL, having been invested with the insignia as Lord Mayor elect, then came forward and said—Gentlemen, by your suffrages, I have had the dis tinguished honour of being returned as one of the two senior Aldermen in rotation to fill the distinguished office of Chief Magistrate for the year ensuing.—(Cries of " Oh, oh," and cheering, the former greatly prepon derating.) I need scarcely assure you that it will be my pride and pleasure to support all your rights and privileges, and to exercise all those hospitalities which my predecessors have done.—(Cheers and groans.) Gentlemen, I beg leave to thank you sincerely and kindly for the support you have given me, and to assure you that I will endeavour so to do, that, at the end of my year of office, you will have no reason to complain that your choice has fallen upon me.—(Cheers and con fusion, in the midst of which the Mayor elect retired.) Mr. Alderman WOOD then stood forward, and the ap plauses which greeted him were so deafening that we were for some minutes unable to hear a word. The cheering having subsided, the worthy Alderman said— Gentlemen, I regret that you did not hear Sir George Carroll.—(Cheers.) (Here a person strode across the vacant space in front of the platform, and with the most itfvmperate action, and his " eye in a fine frenzy rolling," shouted out " You have stained your gown, air; resign your gown, sir." Confusion became worse confounded, and some " gentle voices" urged that the violent gentleman should be ejected from the door by a rather summary process. The police having politely waited on the offending party to the outside, the pro ceedings were again allowed to proceed.) I have had in this contest no personal feeling with Sir George Car roll, nor has he had any with me ; neither will I complain with regard to the accusations made against me. The return whiCh the Livery ultimately made was the very same for which on the first day the show of hands was taken.—(Cheers.) We have been occupied since eleven this day in the' Court of Alder men discussing a question which might have been settled in a quarter of an hour, and at its rising the Court re fused to read the documents which their own committee had sent up in reference to the charges against me.— (" Shame.") I do not wish to cast blame or censure on any one. It is my duty to thank you, and to repu diate those calumnious newspaper reports which have appeared in the shape of anonymous letters. These reports I have this morning already demonstrated to be utterly destitute of truth.—(Cheers.) I only advert to the circumstance for this purpose, to assure the gen tlemen of the Livery, some of whom have expressed to myself the fact that they withheld their votes from me because they were imposed on by the statements in a letter signed Truth"—( Cries of " Shamel—that that letter contained the most infamous falsehoods ; but although I had prepared in the Court of Aldermen this day papers which belied the allegations of " Truth," I was not allowed to enter upon them. Whether that man is in my hearing or no I care not ; for I am aware that these words of mine will go forth to the public— but I say that he has imposed upon a respectable journal, he has imposed upon the public at large, and I challenge him to come forward, and I will brand him with infamy. —(Cheers). " Resign your gown," said a person in passing. I will do no such thing.—(lmmense cheering). I have a great work to perform. I have a paramount duty to discharge, and 1 will do so before I retire from my aldermanic position.—(Great cheering.) While I live, and while I retain the feelings and the heart of an Englishman, my time and my atten tion shall be devoted to the service of those brave and good men who have recorded their names on yonder lists.—(Loud cheers.) Some have ventured to impugn their respectability, but, thank God, there are names there that will rank with any other name—ay, let it be the first, the most respectable, the proudest in the city of London. Gentlemen, in every contested election there are different classes who re - corg their votes on one or the other, or on the same side. They exercise the legitimate fran chise, but shall it be said that the vote of the man of humble circumstances is not as good as that of him placed in a higher station?—(Cheers.) To cast such an imputation upon some of those who have re corded their votes in my favour is therefore unworthy of citizens and discreditable to Englishmen.—(Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, the struggle was not between myself awl Sir George Carroll, er, as I will now cal! him, the Lord Mayor elect. The object of those who used the name of Mr. Alderman Hooper was evidently to give the Livery an opportunity of disgracing me by not returning my name to the Court of Aldermen at all. That object has been signally and triumphantly de feated.—(Loud cheers.) You have confirmed the show of hands taken, but the Court of Alder men have seen fit to reject me, although the senior Alderman in rotation.—(Shame.) Gentlemen, I am neither dispirited nor disheartened ; I leave these hustings with the kindliest feelings for you all— Cheers)—and with the expression of my earnest hope that we shall one and all of us live to see each other yet under happier and more triumphant circumstances. Mr. PRYOR said that when last he had the honour of appearing before them it was to propose a vote of thanks to the Sheriffs of last year, and that vote had been passed unanimously, but he found that, according to the terms of the Common Hall to render the vote formal, it was necessary that the Lord Mayor should be in the chair, and as their esteemed chief magistrate now presided, the vote he was about bringing before the citizens of London would be in regular form, and not even technically mar the sense they entertained of the ser vices of the respected gentleman who served the office of Sheriffs during the past year. The vote he had to submit to them was —" That the thanks of the Livery in Common HAI assembled are justly due, and are hereby given to William Chaplin and John Laurie, Esquires, for their humane and benevolent attentions to the unfortunate persons under their care as criminals ; for their earnest endea vours to mitigate the effects in after life of their present punishment, by the exercise of a judicious and temperate policy; for the manner in which they upheld the ,just rights of the Crown, and supported the rights of the sub ject; and for directing so forcibly the public attention to the present state of prisons, and endeavouring to cause the introduction of a better and more effectual system of se condary punishments, and, by obtaining employment for criminals on their discharge from custody, enable them to support themselves, without being compelled by in evitable necessity to resort to their old courses." Having read the motion, he thought it would be su pererogation if he were to address any obser vations in support of it to persons who had so many opportunities of observing the conduct of Messrs. e Chaplin and Lauri e d ur i ng their term of office, must have observed th e great and benevolenl)exertL all ns f a T made by Mr. Laurie for the amelioration of o t e social and moral condition of that mise ra bl e c l ass who, in many cases, are found by necess i ty to throng , l.Y ' the gaols ; and he was sure they would a ll j o i n with him,- when he said that few men in later days h a d d one more towards effecting this object than the worthy Sheriff. Mr. KING, in seconding the motion, said, as his friend had alluded solely to Mr. Laurie in pro posing the resolution, he (Mr. King) thought it his duty to say a few words with respect to Mr. Sheriff Chaplin.—(Hear, hear.) He believed that in bringing the name of Mr. Chaplin before the Livery men of London, he was submitting to them the name of THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 9, 1846 a gentleman whose ability, discretion, and integrity would not be questioned by any assemblage.—(Cheers.) Mr. Alderman WOOD said it was with great pleasure that he recorded his sense of the conduct of the Sheriffs 'inring the late election. There was one point to which he wished to allude. He wished to do an act of iustice to the gentlemen connected with Mr. Alderman Carroll's committee. There was a letter signed by Mr. An derton, produced in the other room and I am bound to say that Ithink and believe firmly tile committee had no knowledge whatever of that letter, and also he should say he believed that upon no occasion had the com mittee acted otherwise than straightforward and fair in their opposition. He had great pleasure in moving that the thanks of the Hall be given to the Sheriff's for their conduct during the election.—(Cheers.) Mr. BENNOCH seconded the motion. He had found from his connexion with the Common Hall, and the pro minent position he took in the present election, the very great facility with which the actions of men might be misrepresented and villified. He was not in the habit of defending the delinquencies of any man, but he called upon those who made charges against others to come forward and state their proofs, and then leave the Livery to judge. His sole object had been, and was, to show, in the course he had pursued, that some alteration ought to be made in the Court of Aldermen, that it ought to be radically changed.—(Cries of " And so it will.") There were many in the Court of Aldermen far more black than Ah4er man Wood.—(Cheers.) To this it was said, two blacks did not make a white, and to that he answered, don't have any blacks at all.—(Cheers.) By adapting the Court of Aldermen to the times in which they lived, by making the election of its members periodically, they would secure the best results.—(Cheers.) If the Livery had placed Mr. Alderman Wood at the head of the poll, the Court of Aldermen would then not have had the op portunity they had now of sheltering themselves behind their acts. It had been admitted in the papers of that day that what he had stated with respect to Alderman wood was true—everything with respect to bins had been cleared up, and it was now the business of the Livery to see that he got a proper committee to in quire into his case, which the Court of Aldermen had refused to give him. The motion was then put, and declared to be carried unanimously. • The SHERIFFS returned thanks. Thanks were then voted to the Lord Mayor, who returned thanks, and the Hall was then dissolved. 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 bri g Cygnet, Captain Layton, com mander. The slaver had come from Rio, and a person named Gallano, 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, se 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, ebb hoisted merican 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 one 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 December, 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 sle.ve deck, and upwards of 850 of the wretched human beings (males) were piled almost in a bulk on the water tasks 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, anti 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. Ile stayed only a few days, and then sailed for South America. It appear e d h e h a d been engaged in the slave trade upwards of 20 years, during which period he had been six times captured by English cruisers, but had, n,gverthekss, made many successful voyages. The whole affair was no doubt arrange ! between him and Berry before the ship sailed from Rio, but it is thought the parties cannot be brought to justic , 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 were 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 covered with bags of farina (the food of the slaves), upon which was spread old coarse matting, forming a sort of platform, on which the male slaves were stowed. 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 found 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 ',slab, and fire feet in length, 286 of them would have filled up the whole space, but that was only about one third o' their actual number, and same idea may consequently be formed of the suffering they must have endured. If 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 other, 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 about sixty square feet, and those furnished the only means of ventilatin: 4 this pestilential receptacle for 850 human beings, during the period which might be occupied in a voyage acrosa the Atlantic. ATROCIOUS AIULIDER.—A murder under the most dreadful circumstances has just been committed in the electora'e 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 nighted set?— Benibay Gentleman's Gazette. FOREIGN POTATOES.---It is now some time since we had occasion to notice an importation of potatoes from abroad. A vessel arrived at Bristol from Jersey, in addition to a variety of other articles, had 100 cwt. of this Esteemed and muchspoken-of article on board; and the steam-ship, Ocean, arrived on Monday, from Rotter dam, had three hampers of potatoes on board, the growth of Holland, and the fi rs t arr i va l o f t h e ki n d from that country for several months past. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. WHOLESALE FRAUDS IN THE CITY.—A young man, named Edward Evans, who has been employed at various large warehouses in the City and the west-end, as brought up for final examination, charged with having obtained goods to a large amount from various houses under false pretences. The Court was crowded by parties who had been duped;and a number of cases were entered into, which occupied the greater part of the day. Mr. James Eastham, assistant to Messrs. Swainson and Co., Watling-street, stated that he knew the pri• soner some time ago from his repeatedly coming for goods from other houses. On the 22d September he came and asked for two pieces of drab and blue furni turesiaee i es were for Messrs. Williams and Co. Witness toll him huff they and had blue n u o e ne wo o e f ld th d a e t , u eo p l e o n ur colour, when two enhe p d that given him, with a bill of parcels, made out in Williams •tnd Co.'s name. The pieces produced by the pawnbroker in Court were those he delivered to the prisoner. Mr. James Stilwell, of White Lion-street, Norton Folgate, deposed to the prisoner having called on the st h o f S e ptember, and asking for a piece of crimson damask. Prisoner had been in the habit of coming from Messrs. Miles and Co., of Oxford-street, but he now represented that he was living at Mr. Gillows's, in the same street. Witness gave him the damask, and on the following Tuesday he came again, and said that the managing man at his employer's had sold it nearly all, Ind liked it so well that be wished for another piece to show to a lady. This was given, with a bill made out in the name of Gillows. The value was about 401. He identified the goods now prodnced. Alfred Hulme, assistant to Mr. Bayliss, pawnbroker, of Aldersgate-street, proved that the prisoner pawned the articles for 81. each, on the sth and Bth of September, the days on which they were obtained. There were several other similar cases which were gone into, but the number of witnesses was so great, mud the amount of evidence so voluminous, that it would be useless to give them. However, seven cases were established against him, and he was committed on all. Several were abandoned, and others not sustained, for want of sufficient evidence. The Court was occupied everal hours in taking down the evidence. BOW-STREET. John Bennett, alias Burn, employed as a dresser at the Princess's Theatre, was charged with an indecent assault upon a lad named John Cooke, on the afternoon of yesterday week. The alleged offence was committed while the prisoner and Cooke were looking into a print-shop window in St. Martin's-lane, and the prosecutor stated that it had been attempted on two previous occasions by the same man, although he was then unable to give him into cus tody. On the last occasion, however, he followed the prisoner into some public-houses, and eventually, on see ing a policeman, gave him into custody. The prosecutor stated that the prisoner offered him money and drink to abstain fom prosecuting him. Mr. Clarkson, who appeared for the prisoner, urged the respectability of his client, who had a large family, and called a respectable tradesman to give him a charac ter of twenty years' standing. It was stated that he was an actor during the greater part of this time. Mr. HENRY committed him for trial, but consented to take bail, two i❑ 501: each, and himself in 100/. MARYLEBONE. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF ROBBERY. Henry Riley, a drummerlin the I st Regiment Grenadier Guards, was charged with having stolen a horse and cart belong ing to Mr. Atkinson, a turner, residing in Manchester street, Gray's Inn-road, and also two military coats, the property of her Majesty. The case was fully gone into on the 3d inst., and from the evidence then given, it appeared that on the previ ous evening prosecutor went to St. John's Wood Bar racks with some goods for the sergeant-major: he de livered them to him, and they both went to the canteen tolake some refreshment, and in the course of half an hour they returned, when he found that his horse and cart were gone. The prisoner was taken into custody on the same night near Rosemary-lane. He was then in the cart, in which were two military coats, which, as alleged, .he had offered for sale. He (prisoner) was remanded. Yesterday additional evidence was forthcoming, and he was committed for trial. SOUTHWARK. A POLICEMAN CAUGHT NAPPING.—Thomas Ellis, policeman of the M division was charged with neglect of duty, and absenting himself from his beat: Sergeant Clark, of the same division, stated that the defendant belonged to the section of the division at Rotherhithe, and that he, the sergeant, had occasion to visit the beat upon which he ought to have been on duty. On proceeding his rounds he could not find the defend ant for some time; until at length he discovered him in a garden lying fast asleep in a summer-house. He awoke him and made him go on his beat, and then left him, but returned soon afterwards, and finding he was again absent, went to look after him, and upon this occasion found him fast asleep in a low shed. The defendant did not deny the charge, but said he was so overcome with sleep that he could not walk about. The MAGISTRATE convicted the defendant in the pe nanlty of 16s. Bd., his week's pay. The defendant, it was stated, would be also discharged from the police force. LAMBETH. TIIE BORROWING SWINDLER.—This Court, and all the avenues leading to it, was crowded to excess by per sona interested in the examination of a person named William Wilmot Byron, who stood remanded from Friday last, on a charge of being concerned with another per son. not at present in custody. in defraudiste Mr. Mens ford out of 201., and also with having in his possession a 201. note and other property to a considerable amount, of which he could not give a satisfactory account. The first witness called wits Miss Charlotte F. White, of 24, Connaught-terrace, Edgware-road, who deposed, that on the 18th of July last she saw an advertisement in a morning paper, offering a bonus of 51. for the loan of 201. for one . nionth. She replied to it, and on the fol- lowing Monday the prisoner called upon her, and, pre senting her the note she sent in reply to the advertise ment, asked if she was the person who had sent it. She replied in the affirmative, and he then told her he was the person who wanted the money, and presented three tea warrants of three chests of tea in each, which he said he would deposit with her as a security, besides allowing her 51. for the loan. The prisoner represented the tea warrants to be very valuable, and she consented . to lend the. 201. on his giving his note of hand for 251., and depositing with her the tea warrants in addition. Mr. NORTON—Has the note of hand been since paid ? Witness—lt has not, Sir, and the tea warrants are com pletely worthless. Mr. NORTON inquired if there were any other charges against the prisoner ? when a fashionably dressed lady who sat at the solicitors' table jumped up, and said she had a charge to prefer. Mr. Ballantine—l had no idea there were so many lady money-lenders. 7 The lady alluded to here entered the witness-box. She stated her name to be Frances Raymond, and that she is the wife of a gentleman living on his property at Swiss Cottages, Dalston. On the 15th of May last she answered an advertisement in a morning paper, and Shortly after a person, who represented his name to be Barnes, called upon her on the subject of the advertise ment, and said he wanted the loan of 151. for a month, and agreed at the end of the month to pay 181. for it, and also to place is her hand a tea warrant for six chests of young hyson. She did not then make up her mind to lend the money, and Barnes went away, but in a short his wh c p l o i c h k e e to -book observed h t h i n a d t t h h i e m. p oc W ke i time after th e pr i soner called to know if Barnes had left t t - n b e o s o s k told o n h t a i pro perm in ty of the value of 5001., and said h e suppose d h e must ed n ' n have left it at some other place. He then went away, but in the course of the same evening both the prisoner and Barnes again called, when the latter commenced a conversation with her on the subject of the loan, and spoke of the nature of the security. On the repre sentations of the parties, and believing the warrant to be genuine, she advanced Barnes 151., for which he gave her his 'Tote of hand for 181., and also deposited a tea warrant with her. On the Friday following the prisoner called upon her, and said, " You will be somewhat surprised that a person of my appearance should be in want of a little money, but such was the fact, and Mr. Barnes had kindly accommodated him with some tea warrants to deposit as security for any small loan he might require" She (witness) took shame t o _ _ herself in idmittin,g that she had given a second loan to the prisoner of 151. more, and for this he was to give her 161. 10s. for a fortnight; and he also, in addition to his note of hand, deposited a tea warrant in her hands. She had not, however, been enabled since to receive a single farthing of her money back, and as for the tea warrants, a gentleman to whom she had shown them assured her they were not worth a single farthing. Mr. James Northington, the keeper of a coffee-house in Agar-street, Strand, said that the prisoner and six or ,even other persons were in the habit of frequently meeting at his house, and having their letters directed there. They met so often that they led him (witness) and his family to believe they were persons speculating in horse racing, and were very fortunate in their specu lations.—(Laughter.) Mr. NORTON remarked, that the case was one which required further investigation, and he should, therefore, remand the prisoner until Friday next (this day week) on a charge of obtaining money under false pretences. THAMES. James Brooks, a lighterman, was brought before Mr. BAllantine, charged with assaulting Ann Williams, a young woman who carried an infant in her arms, and whose face was marked. It appeared that the complainant and her husband went into a public•house called the Red Lion, in Rat cliffe-highway, to obtain refreshments, and while there prisoner and another man entered. They fastened a quarrel upon the other party, and the prisoner challenged the complainant's husband to fight. He refused to do so; on which the prisoner attempted to strike him. The woman got up and said, " Don't hit my husband, he don't want to fight," whereupon he struck her a violent bfo ,v on the face, and knocked her backwards. The bruise on her face was in consequence of the blow. Mr. BALLANTINE said the prisoner might have se lected a man in the group to fight with, if he was so fond of using his fists, and not beat a woman. His conduct was very base and cJwardly, and he fined him 4/., and in default of payment sentenced him to six weeks' impri sonment. TAKE or Fisll.—For some time past there has been a very large take of herrings in our harbour. There were between thirty and forty boats of them at our quays hourly for a few days. In some parts of the bay the shoals were so thick that women with baskets have been observed taking them near the edge of the water. A dozen of good herrings may be had for a penny at the quay. Sixpence a hundred is the average price. 'We hear that an immense quantity of them has been shipped for Bristol.—Cork Examiner. NAVAL INTAGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, THURSDAY.— We Some short time since (during the absence of the Channel squadron) no ticed the great disparity of officers in comparison with the number of men of the Royal Marine force engaged in the Channel squadron, and drew attention at the same time to the captains of the corps, many of whom have served double the time which ought to have gained their promotion to the rank of field. officers. On Sunday last a field-officer and four captains marched to this garrison chapel with the marines of this division, whose united periods of service amounted to the almost incredible total of 210 years, the junior of these five officers counting upwards of 40 years' service. If anything could demonstrate the unfairness and im policy of the present system of brevet promotion, the above astounding fact would, beyond a doubt, do it. According to this statement, Captain A, because he has had the good fortune to get his company quickly, comes in a general brevet in preference to Captain B, who was in the service before A was born ; B having been con demned to linger on through the greater part and best years of his life before attaining the rank of captain. Thus is poor B doubly a victim—first, through too long deferred, heart-sickening hope, and then through the working of an unjust rule, whichcontinues to ill-use him because he has been so long neglected. Surely an appeal on such substantial grounds as these would not be contemned, and the prayer of the serving captains of her Majesty's land forces, who served in the great war ending in 1814 (who have never voluntarily been on half-pay), to be included in the coming bre vet, will not be heartlessly rejected. The boon is not much for such petitioners to ask ; it is a boon easy to grant, as it would not involve any great expense. We sincerely trust this brief appeal on behalf of the long neglected veterans of the Royal Marine corps will be in some part the means of obtaining for them that jus tice at the hands of their country which their long, faithful, and meritorious services so pre-eminently merit. The St. Vincent, 120, Captain Sheppard, bearing the broad pendant of Commodore Sir Francis Collier, has been expected to come up momentarily all day. Up to our dispatch leaving (five o'clock), however, she had not made her number. The Crocodile, 8, Commander Gomer Lowe, arrived last night from Hudson's Bay. The Fairy yacht was undocked this day. PLYMOUTH, OCT. 7.—The storm in this neighbour hood has somewhat abated, but we are occasionally vi sited by heavy squalls from the southward and west ward. About half-past ten o'clock this morning her Majesty's ship St. Vincent, 120, Captain John Sheppard, with the flag of Commodore Sir F. A. Collier, endeavoured to work out through the Western Passage, under double reefed topsails and foresail, the wind blowing hard from the westward. When reaching into Cawsand Bay, on the larboard tack, she put about, and while in stays was caught in a tremendous squall of wind and rain between Redding Point and the western end of the Breakwater. Being compelled to go before it, she brailed up her fore sail, and under foretopsail and jib returned to her anchorage in the Sound. His Imperial Brazilian Majesty's frigate Constitu cional, Captain Ignacio, remains in the Sound. It being found that the Turnchapel, private dock, was not suffi ciently capacious to receive the frigate, application has been made to the authorities at her Majesty's dockyard here. In consequence, however, of the activity prevail ing in our naval departments doubts exist of the possibi lity of repairing the frigate at this arsenal, failing which she will be sent to her Majesty's dockyard at Ports mouth, or to the naval arsenal at Brest. When last here the Constitucional, then called the Isabel, was officered and manned almost entirely by Europeans; now her officers, with two exceptions (Por tuguese), are' Brazilians, and the duty is carried on entirely in that language. At present her complement (450) includes 80 Englishmen, 6 Americans, 5 Germans, 3 Frenchmen, 6 Spaniards, 2 Italians, and 8 Manilla men. The remainder is made up by Brazilians, Portu guese, and natives of Monte Video, Buenos Ayres, and Valparaiso. The English are stationed at the helm, the mainyard, and the waist. The duty in the tops is performed exclusively by those who talk Portuguese. The Buckinghamshire, of 1,800 tons, Capt. M'Gregor, which came in on Monday, has perhaps the largest cargo of tea in point of weight ever imported. She left Hong-Kong the 6th of May, and St. Helena the 20th of August. Before making the Cape of Good Hope she damaged her rudder in the casing, just below the deck. Captain M‘Gregor very skilfully fitted a tiller outside the ship, and thus brought the vessel home. She has a crew of about 130 hands, viz., 20 English, 60 Lascars, 25 Chinamen, and 20 Manillamen. Her only passengers are Dr. Lunn and Mr. Batley, who landed here yesterday. Among the casualties during the gale is the loss of the Ocean, belonging to this port, the crew of which were landed yesterday by Captain Cox, of the brig Margaret, of Weymouth, from whose log the following is ex tracted : "Sunday, October 2, 4 P.M., saw a brig to the leeward, under close-reefed canvass, and signals of distress. Bore down upon her ; she proved to be the Ocean, of Ply mouth, from Newport, bound to Plymouth, and found her in a sinking state. The sea was so rough, and it was blowing so strong, there was no possibility of getting the crew from the ship. We lay by her during the night, and at 7 A.M., on Monday bore away under her lee, and succeeded in getting the crew on board. Saved the boat and all their clothes, Scilly bearing S.S.E., 9 or 10 leagues. Half an hour after the crew were on board, the brig went down." Mr. Hamilton Hamilton, late Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary at the Court of Brazil, who came home passenger in the Constitutional, has been staying with his lady for the benefit of his health, at Elliott's Royal Hotel, Plymouth. This gentleman pre sented on Tuesday last to Admiral Grenfell an elabo rately-chased coffee-jug, and elegant silver salver, pur chased here from Mr. Cave, on which was engraved the following inscription :—" From Hamilton Hamilton, E.E. and M.P. of her Britannic Majesty at the Court of the Brazil, toJohn Pascoe Grenfell, Rear .AdmiraLin the Imperial service, in remembrance of much kindness ex perienced during a voyage to England on board the Im perial frigate Constitution, bearing his flag, in August and September, 1846." Admiral Grenfell remains at the same hotel a few days longer, and previous to com mencing his duties at Liverpool as Brazilian Consul- General visits his relatives in the neighbourhood of Exeter. THREE O'CLOCK, P.M.—Wind S.W., blowing strong, OCT. 7, TEN P.M.—The storm of this morning has continued increasing through the day. The wind is blowing very heavily, and veers from W.N.W. to W.S.W., with occasional rain. Her Majesty's ship St. Vincent split her foretopsail in her attempt this morning to go to sea. The barque Forager, Captain Spendlove, of and from Hull, for St. John's, New Brunswick, in ballast, having reached lon. 24, came in here this afternoon. On the 19th ult. she was distuasted, thrown on her beam-ends, lost three top-masts, sails, yard, and gear, decks swept, and ballast shifted. At the same time several vessels were observed, one of which, an English brig, is sup posed to have foundered. The gale continued several days after the 19th. The Buckinghamshire East Indianian, about two this afternoon, drifted in the Sound, and was compelled to drop her second bower anchor. An Inverness schooner, of 90 tons, the Benoni, Cap tain Christie, coal laden, struck on the rocks under Queen Anne's Battery (having for safety left her moor ings in Catwater), broke her rudder and started her stern-post. With assistance she got into the Pool this evening. The brig Simpson, of Scarborough, from Odessa, with tallow, for this port, when outside the Pool, had her warp cut by a trawler under sail, and in consequence fell to leeward athwart the rocks outside the eastern pier. On the flood, she was got off without much damage. Several of the trawling sloops which went out this morning were obliged to run back for shelter. The Union lost her fishing nets altogether. The James and Mary buoyed and slipped her trawl. • The pinnace belonging to his Imperial Brazilian Ma jesty's frigate Constitticional, which came in this morn ing for provisions, has made three unsuccessful attempts to join the frigate in the Sound. A boat belonging to the Buckinghamshire is similarly detained. THURSDAY, 6 O'CLOCK, A.M.—The storm continued until midnight, but, with the exception of a gale at 3 o'clock, there has not been much wind since, and at this hour it is blowing moderately from the westward. How ever, there continues strong indications of heavy weather in the sky. Providentially, no further damage has oc curred in the port. SUICIDE or A FEMALE.—Wednesday 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." ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.—Dr. John Ryan yesterday commenced a series of lectures on endiometry and ventilation, as applicable to b u ildi ngs, dwellings and shops. Public instruction on matters so important to the health of private individuals, as well as to the community at large, ought always to be received with satisfaction ; and we are quite assured that no one could attend one of this talented gentleman's lectures without receiving so much condensed information as to enable him, by means of the usual apparatus, to ascer tain the purity or impurity of any atmosphere in which he might be placed. The varieties of endiometer, were all carefully explained by the Professor, and the proper formula for calculating the amount of oxygen, as well as watery vapour and carbonic acid, were most simply com municated. The principles of ventilation, recently so warmly contested, were also very carefully and philo sophically explained, so as to meet the comprehension of the numerous classes who attend the establishment; and we trust that this course of interesting lectures, so useful and so instructive, may be still continued in the lecture-room of this popular institution. WOLVERHAMPTON *ADDRESS TO SIR ROISERT PEEL (Frollthe Wolverhampion 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 accompany ing 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 the accompanying 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 supp-)rt, 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 et a town's meeting, and it would have been presented at P n 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,--I 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 public duty, and the con scientious belief that the mes.sures 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 LITTLE CAUSES SPRING." A curiots 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 M. Lenoir, magis 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 tad at last elicited that Madame Chalot had already betn condemned for theft, and that she was the widow of an individual who, after having followed the trade of a currier at Millers Cotterets, had been 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 lot, after his arrest, had attempted to commit sui cide. He was taken to the hospital of la Charite, 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 Mine. 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, Mine. 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 GOO 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 whicohwsnheusweo, in ordercr ustsrkedto avoid of bread, which she toasted for her pnrehaciag at the bakers. Had not the trifling incident of the theft of an apple led to her detection, Mine. Chariot would doubtless have continued her delinquencies undiscovered, and enjoyed the reputation of an honest shopkeeper. PORTUGUESE FRUITS.—The importation of onions and grapes 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 Lisbon, 340 packages of onions'and nearly 500 boxes of grapes; a fourth, the Providence, from Lisbon, a large quantity of onions and 650 packages of grapes ; the Worthing ton, from Oporto, 668 packages of onions ; the Wysen, from Lisbon, the extraordinarily large number of 1,509 packages of onions and 831 packages of grapes ; and the Charles, from Oporto, 919 packages of onions ; all of which arrivals took place in one day, the vessels by which they were imported being more or less laden with wine and other Portuguese productions. To enumerate the whole of the importations of the kind is impractic able, but the above list of such supplies in one day will suffice to illustrate the extent to which they are now carried. --- --- I NTRO DUCTION or 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 plentiful yield of about 50 per cent. In the sitting of the Scientific Congress, at Marseilles, on th e 9 th ult., a calculation was pre sented, acco rding to which above 20,000 h ec tares (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 f., while if rice were grown upon it, it could be worth branch of agriculture were also 3,000 f. per hectare , ( the hectare is a trifle less than 21 acres), and thus the land ed property of the department would be increased in v alue by 120,000,000 f., and even departments. The cost of preparing a he c t a r e of rice plantation, rendering it productive, sowing , watering, weeding, and reapin g ff n O t o r ,oodouo, introduced 0 f i . n , t o i f the this neighbouring is at most 350 f., the average produce is estimated at 1,500 kilos. per hectare of cleansed rice, which, at the rate of 40f. 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 be generally introduced therein. If the failure of the potato continue, rice and maize are destined to form an important 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.— Wednesday 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 referr e d 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, 9,100,000/. was from coal, 8 , 4 00,0001. from iron, 1,200,0001. from copper, 920,0001. lead, 400,0001. salt, 390,0001. tin, 60,000/. man ganese, 35,0001. silver, 22,000/. alum, 8,0001. zinc, and 25,000; the various other metals, as antimony, bismuth, arsenic, &c. ARREST OF MENDELSSOHN, THE COMPOSER. -T he warrant issued, on pol i t i ca l groun ds, for the arrest of the advocat e D r. Mendelssohn, has g i ve n rise to a curious mistake. At Ilerbestahl, a little Prussian town near the Baltic frontier, the gendarmerie arrested the advo cate's cousin-german, the celebrated composer, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, who was returning from Bel gium by the railway, and who is also a doctor , but i n music, while his kinsman is a doctor of laws. The a r t is t vainly show e d his passport, which was perfectly regular , and mentio ne d his office of director - general of religious music in Pr uss i a ; the officers found the description in ; the passport very similar to that of the person they w e re to apprehend, and i mag i ne d that the passport had been got by some ruse, t o e l u d e the vigilance of the autho rities. Dr. Mendel sso h n Bartholly was conveyed to prison, and was not released tilt the following evening, after he had obtained the attendance, from Cologne, of two respectable witnesses to his identity.—Gazette AlliviGule.

STATE OF AFFAIRS 1N THE PUNJAUB. (From the Times) L4.IIORE, AUG. 10.—Since I wrote to you in Jima the course of events here has been steadily progressing in the direction which 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 are being constantly made from all parts by the superintendents of districts. The troops 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 Affgbans 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 25 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 Thelnm 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 sition 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 Sirdars were dissatisfied With the Administration, and were suspected of endeavouring to form a league to overthrow it, with the Ranee'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 Kangra), 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 Ministry. His nuzzur (offering) was accepted, and he was in return presented with a horse as a token 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 fied ; 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 statements, coming from such a quarter, meet with proper attention and consideration. The British authorities have at last been induced to interfere (but in the way of advice simply) in the internal affairs of the Punjaub. Major 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 conse quences to himself and the Government if he persists in bis present conduct. Major Lawrence advised him to settle the dispute with Moultan by negotiation ; and he at the same time wrote stringently to the refractory Governor on the same 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 Wuzeer, it is well known) to induce the hill tribes to rebel against their new master, Maharaja Gholab Singh. These letters have made a great impression on the wind of She Wuzeer, whatever may be the result, ; and they are to be followed up by the presence of the agent's brother (he himself being unwell), who is now on his way from Simlah to Lahore. I shall conclude by stating that the general opinion throughout India is, that a total cessation of our con. nexion with the Punjaub is now impracticable, as the elements for forming a stable Government are supposed to be wanting in that country. The facts which I have mentioned, and for the truth of which I can vouch, will assist you and your readers in forming your own opinion en this subject. Whatever betides 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 givinc , the finishing tou c h t o th e o utworks, by form ing loopholes for musketry at the gateways, erecting barriers outside the gates, and placing loopholed screen walls across the ways of approach. The weather is very unpleasant and unhealthy here at present. By the official returns, the number of in e hospital is, of the native troops five European troops 17 per cent. IfY er Dl c t ea Ao TES.

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. 11f, P.I. 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. i 44 WORKS by ROBERT J.
