EAST INDIES. (FROM THE MADRAS GAZETTt, MARCH 6.) IVe observe, that at ilotniiy, as well as at Bengal, the anomalous rank of Caj)taiti-Lieu tenant has been abolished by the Marqueis of HA3r ings. The Klissrovie, Captlin Wadding,tnn, had a, - rived from Bussorah, Bushire, and Muscat. At Bushire, she lett his Majesty's ship Eden ; Hon. Company's 'cruisers Mercury and Antelope, and country ship Euphrates ; the former, it seems, had been again successful in destroying some pi rates in the Golf, but the partieular• are not men tioned. The Company's cruisers Vestal and Be pares were at Muscat. Our private letters from the interior mention, that the Ex-Rajah of Nagpore had attempted to make his escape lately, from the position he had taken up in the Jungles. This attempt, however, appears to have been frustrated by the vigilance of the troops. Some of his skirmishers having imprudently approached close to our picquets, were promptly and vigorously pursued, and three of them taken. These men state, that the Ex- - Rajah, having. for some time been subject to very great privations, contemplated an escape to the fortress of Asseygur, accompanied by Seetoo ; and they were of opinion that, notwithstanding the . precautionary' measures taken, Seetoo's know ledge of the country would eventually enable-him to reach his destination.

With the exception of Willa», the printer, of Dewsbury, none of the heads of the ficform party were present ; and the various harangues and speeches that were delivered were much below mediocrity; they were, however, of as more peaceable , cast than those of the other meetings in this district. The Declaration and Resolutions were so simi lar to those of the lust Hunslet Moor Meeting, that it would be a waste of room to detail them. The speakers exhorted their countrymen to come boldly forward; yet to conduct themselves with firmness and "moderation, and to fortil a National Union, on constitutional grounds, to support the pillars of the COnstitution of England. It being Saint's ,Ddy among the lower orders, the wea ther being torerinimonly fine, caused a consider able assemblage on the grontol, - though not so great as Might have been anticipated, from the caus,'s above 'ennMerated.The 'Meeting broke trp about six o'clock, and the• persons assembled dispersed, m:rY (LANCASHIRE).

RIOT at LIVERPOOL DOCK BRIDEWELL. At the Borough Sessions, Peter Riley, aged 22, Wm. '1 19, Win. Frazer, 44, James \lthelan, 35, Bernard Lenon, 25. Fr,-Al,6:k 011anlOn s 21, James Grimes, '22; and Owen M - D maid, 33. were indicted for a riot at Liv..-rpool. These 'were the men who, as oar readers may ree9ll, were apprehended for haring been active in the set ious Ho: and tumult at the Dock Btidewell, on the evcniog of the 22d of June last, when the Bride well was forcibly broke.. open by the mob, who released several prisoners that Were it confinement there, and Violently beat two men connected with the Dock Ponce, and afterwards attempted to throw them into the Old Dock. Mr. LAMB stated the case to the Jury, and gave a succinct narrative of the otigin and progress of the riot, as well as of the tumultuous and dis graceful transactions of the mob On the evi fl ing in question. He then proceeded to call evidence to substantiate the charge against the defendants. A great number of witnesses were examined on the part of the prosecution, most of 'them con nected with the 'Dock Police. Their evidence proved that all the defendants were widi the ,mob (hiring the Hat, and that some took ainore ac tive. part than others in the riotous proceedings of the evening. Several of the defendants called evidence to establish an alibi at the time of. the disturbance, but the testimony of their witnesses seemed not fo be entitled t'o touch rredit. T:re ItccottoLn summed op the evidence with great precision and correctness, and then 'laid down the law with respect to persons engaged in . R tint, namely, that every individual who does not separate himself from a riotous assemblage, is responsible, in the eye of the law, for all the yin letrces and excesses which that assemblage may perpetrate.. • The Jnry„after some consultation, returned a verdict of Guilty aA-ainst all rite defendants, ex cept Win. Frazer, who was of course, acquitted. The RECORDER, after seriously admonishing the prisoners, passed sentence upon . them, that they ire-mprisoned 18 months in Preston House of Correct Some isf the prisoners, when removing from the bar, behaved in a very indecent and outrageous manner, and directed the most disgusting language against the Bench. Chialo Burns, 23, was aftencords indicted for h a ving assaulted and struck Mr. Broadley, supor intent:rut of the Dock Police. The assault Arose out of the above ri ot . I b e i ng suspecte d that some of the Bleu belonuiny to General D'Eve renx's Legion, had been active in the disturbances at Bridewell, Captain Boyd, their commanding officer - , requested Mr. Broadley, to come to the ground where they were exercised on the South Shore, for the purpose of seeing whether he could recognize any of them as baying taken part in the riot. Accordingly, about eleven o'clock on the tollowing morning; Mr. Broadley, with several of his assistants, proceeded to the ground. When he came near Jackson's Dam, • he saw between 2 and 300 men of the legion, anti the • tiefendgut, Burns, among. them ; many of them had stones or lumps of copper dross in their lianas. On per ceiving this, he addressed them, saying, " My good fellows, I am not come to molest you, but to meet Captain Boyd." They replied, " Von villains, go hack, or we'll have your lives !" instantly the police were covered with a shower of stones, which knocked down some of them, and dispersed the rest. Mr. &motley tea, seri ously cut on the mouth tvith a stone. One of the rulice escaped into a field adjoining: and sate Burns throwing stones after Mr. Broadley and the other officers of the police when they were re treating from the mob. '1 he prisoner, in his defence, endeavoured to prove an alibi on the morning the assault was said to have been committed ; he did not, how ever, call any witnesses. The Jury returned a verdict of—Guilly ; and the Court sentenced him to seven clays' impri sonment. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
