INDIA. The Bombay Gazette; of the 30th of April, contains a charge of Sir Charles Chambers, one of the Judges of that Presidency, to the Grand Jury, on the extension of the privilege of sitting on juries, in criminal cases, to n ative subjects of the Three Pr es id enc i es , un d er the Act 7, George, IV., e. 37. The Judge, in congratulating the (hand Jurors, and through them the commu nity, on the introduction of this great principle into the administration of justice in India, stated, that with a view to the more satisfactory arrange xnent of such rules as might be necessary to re gulate the selection of native jurors, the Bench had thought it right to consult the principal per • sons of the several ilindoo castes at Bombay an d in its neighbourhood, with regard to the wishes lief' they might entertain, and to the exemptions and indulgences under which they might be satisfied to fulfil the duties assigned to them by the Act of Parliament. The paper con taining the reply of the natives to this considerate - application of the Bombay Judges we have here inserted at full length : /' To the Hon. Sir Edward West, Knight, Chief Justice; the Hon. Sir Ralph Rice, Knight; and the Hon. Sir Charles Harcourt Chambers, Knight, Puisne Justices of the Supreme Court of Judicature, Bombay. Honourable Sirs—Agreeably to the intimation received from your Lordships, we, the undersigned Hindoo‘3, have the honour to submit to your Lord ships' consideration certain matters on which we, from a regard to our religion and customs, request that the Supreme Court of Judicature at Bombay will be pleased to frame regulations in relation to our service on Juries. " We request that we may be exempted from all ervie 4 2 ,t - ,)n Coroner's Inquests, the inspection. of a dead body 14qng considered a pollution, by us, and requiring to be removed by purification before we can attend to any b - t iiness domestic or public. We •recfaest that we may be exempted from all Juries whenies - /114.42irt is tried for a capital crime, it being 'ourthigious diry . not to contribute to the death of 'uny Brannin. We request that Hindoos of the Jane 'caste may be exempted from all Juries for the trial of capital crimes, it being contrary to the religion of the Jane caste to contribute to the death of any animal. We request that for the present, on all juries on which Hindoos may be required to sit, that there be associated with them six of his Ma jesty's British subjects, it appearing to us that Hin dons are not as yet sufficiently conversant in all the , duties of jurors, and that they will derive much in titoction from the superior knowledge of those duties p os , e g t ,2d by his Majesty's British subjects, but that such a netiZssary association be only a temporary resolution, and that it be abolished as soon as the Ilindoos are better qualified to perform the duties of jurors. " To enable the petit jurors to converse with each other, we request that one juror, either a British .subject or a native of India, who has a competent knowledge of the English language, and of any `language in ordinary use among the natives of Bom bay, be always on the petit jury. We request that Bindoo jurors may be selected only front the fol lowing castes, the persons of those castes being 'best qualified to act as jurors, viz.:—Bramins, Se poys, Purvoes, Goldsmiths, Banjans, and Bbatias. " As the heads of those castes of Hindoos ate usost capable of judging of the qualifications of the Indoos to serve on juries, and as Madowdas Ran sordas..l. and Davidass Hurjeevandass, Hindoos, are considers 4 to be the principals of the natives of Bombay, we request that the head of each of their '-astes may, in cOnjunction with the said Madowdass •Ransordass, and DaFidesa Hurjeevandass, or one of them, be authorized to re.urn to the Court the names of those castes best qualified to serve on petit juries, and that the sheriff be directed only to summon as jurors such Hindoos. We request that Hindoos may be exempted from service on juries on the following ( "ays and occasions, their abstaining . at d=ose times f roli i the business of the Court bemeenjoined by their rel;gion and customs, viz. (Here' follows an enumeration ce the days and oceasions.)—We re quest that Hindoos may be exempted from all juries before the age of 21 years, and after the age of g 0 years. We request that, as far as is practicable and consistent with law, the service pf Hindoos on juries may be limited to between eleven and gve o'clock, and never beyond eight o'clock. We reqhest that urors who have been summone d to serve at a Ses sions may be exempted from being summoned to serve on juries at the next Sessions. We request that Hindoos may be exempted from service Ott juries when afflicted with sickness, and when any of their family is dangerously sick. " We request that upon occasion of any of the before-mentioned causes of excuse for not serving on a jury, happening to any Hindoo, that a certificate of such cause, signed by the head of the caste of the persons preferring such excuse, jointly with the Ma dowdas Ransordass, or Davidass Hurjeevandass, may he deemed sufficient proof to the Court of the truth of such causes. We request that only respectable Christians may he selected to serve on jurteQ with Hindoos. We request that accommodations may be pro vided for us to drink water, and for the cells of na ture, and that occasional indulgences may be given us for those purposes. " We request your Lordships' acceptance of our thanks for the very conciliatory manner in which your Lordships communicated your wishes that the flindoos should explain the points on which they were desirous the Court should make regulations re specting their serving on Juries; and although some ditlicuiiles may be expected to occur in the com mencement of the service on Juries of the natiiias of India, yet, in the intelligence, patience, and moderw tion of the Judges of the Supreme Court, we antici• pate an effectual r emed y to those diffi cu l t i es , an d that they will be speedily and entirely .ourable Sirs, removed. • " We have the ho nour to be ,Ho nourable your Lordships' most obedient and very h um b le Li • servants, DAVIDASS HURJEEVANDASS, an d „ hem " Bombay, March 1." A FAc T.—One of the spectators last Satur day on the Steine gave a bys " tander the " origin obli informa tion that the Statue was a Colossusßrighton Gazette. ANOTHER FACT.—A sagacious gentleman the other night pointed out to some friends the much-talked of Comet, which, he said, was at the moment burning brightly. This was the evening Star !--Brighton Gaz. A man named JAMES KEATING died at Carrick•on-Suir, on Monday, in consequence of a piece of meat stopping in his throat when at breakfast. —Cork Constitution. MYSTERIOUS DEATH.—On the morning of Monday last, the body of MARY Awn GREEN, a fine girl, 12 years of age, the daughter of WILLIAM GREEN, a labourer, residing at Newtown, in the neighbourhood of Mabgate, was discovered in a brickmaker's-pond, near her father's house. The circumstance created a most extraor dinary sensation in th e di s t r i ct w h ere i t occurre d ; an d, during the day, several reports, all tending to criminate War.taat GRF.EN and hie wife (who was mother-in-law to the deceased), obtained circulation. On the came even ing an Inquest was held on the burly before ROEIFILT BARR, Esq., Coroner, when a full and minute investigation took place. It appeared that the unfortunate girl bad been missing from her father's house for about a week, and there was every reason to suppose that the body bad lain in the general water for that period of time. There certainly was great reason to believe, from the evidence, that the treat inent of the poor girl by her father and mother-in-law (h u t particularly the latter) had b een any thing rather th an kind ; but there was no proof to warrant the Jury in be- Laving that her death had been caused by violence. Verdict—" Found dead in the water ; but under what cie.. ettanstances she came by her death did not appear." Upon learning the result, numbers of people collected together a nd evinced their disappointment in a very marked man ner. The body of the unfortunate girl was interred in th e eve ti;;ly in the burial ground of the Primitive Afethc d:sts, great ni:,nbers attending the obsequies, —Leeds 1,- ;ellitgenelr. NAVIGATION OF THE THAMES. The state of the navigation ow the Thames, be tween lilackwall and London-bridge, has long been the subject of complaint. Last year we published the letter of an active and intelligent correspondent on the subject. The obstructions were chiefly pro duced by colliers. However, Magna est veritas, et prcevalebit, says the thread-bare quotation : that is, in English, " It's a long lime that has not a turn ing." It is not along lane, however, but two wide lanes, or at least two lanes of sufficient width, that have at last been effected for the free passage of vessels up and down the Thames, by the well-di rected efforts of our correspondent, and the just in • telligence of the city authorities. We have great pleasure in publishing the follow. ing proclamation to the effect above described : " PORT OF LONDON. " TO ALL PERSONS IN FITARC4E OF COLLIERS NAVIGATING ON THE RIVER THAMES. " Whereas it has been deemed expedient that a free and unobstructed passage should be preserved through the up per and lower pools, of not lees than 300 feet in width, and instructions have been given to the harbour-mastery to prevent any collier ship or vessel from encroaching upon the same, and to cause any ship or vessel which shall be so moored as to encroach upon thy free passage as afore said, to be forthwith removed. " Notice thereof is hereby given to all anusteis and others in charge of colliers navigating on the river Thames, and they are strictly enjoined to obey the directions of the har bour -masters from time to time accordingly. " And notice is hereby further given, that there is to be preserved a channel or passage of nut less than 40 feet in width, at low water, for barges and small craft, between the tiers of vessels and the north shore of the river, from New Crane down to Limehouse Bridge-dock. " And notice is hereby further given, that no collier will in future be permitted to moor at the chains in the upper pool without permission of a harbour-master. (Signed) " MATTS. P. LUCAS, " Afansion-house, Oct. l ti. Mayor." SUICIDE.—On Friday last, a man named TAYLOR, a collier, walked into the canal at Walk Mill, near Ashton, and drowned himself.

IRISH ANswEßs.—During a gale of wind, last week, when the greater part of the passengers in one of the Liverpool steam-boats were sick, a very tall Irish. man, who seemed to take matters very easily, was compli mented by a friend of our's upon his being so stout and hale ; to which Pat replied, " Oh, yes, master, I believe I'm pretty stout, thank Goal ; I can stand as much sleep as any man ; that's a great proof of a man's strength, you know."—North Wales Chronicle. MELANcIioLY OCCURRENCE.--A most re spectable individual was casually drowned in Sutton drain, in the vicinity of this town, on Friday last. The deceased !moved to be Mr. D.

On Saturday an inquest was held over the body by Mr. IvFsax, and a respectable Jury, who re turned a verdict of " Accidental death by drowning, the deceased, D.

A considerable wager was about to be decided between Lord B. and the young Marquis of B. on the re.. pective merits of two young Dien in eating.

The contest was arduous, and betting fur a long time equal; !Mt at ieugth his Lordship's luso took the lead, and seemed so certain of victory, that the commissionaire despatched a carrier-pigeon with the fol lowing note :—" My Lord—Lombard-street to a China orange.

FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France, dated Oct. 16.) F BERLIN, OCT. 2.—Accounts from Constantinople, which appear to come from a good source, state that efforts are making from many quarters, to irduce the Sultan to recognize ~the independence of Greece, according to the terms of the treaty of the 6th of July, and to send a deputy to Corfu awl another to the head-quarters of the Emperor of Russia, to an nounce to him this resolution, and at the same time to negotiate a cessation of hostilities. The Sultan would not li s t en to any arrangemen t which s h ou ld not secure his rights o f sovere i gn ty over Greece, an d ex pressed hi s as t on i s h ment t h at an y one should a d v i se him to negotiate with his own subjects, which would be the case if he sent a deputy to Corfu, where there would also be a Greek Deputy. As for the negociations with Russia, he appears to have declared that he will not hear of them, till the Russians shall have repassed the Danube, and eva cuated the principalities. The vertigo of fanaticism has risen to the highest degree at Constantinople._ It is even said that a law has been made by which every Mussulman is condemned to death who shall give quarter to a Christian, or accept it from him, — of course any one who shall subscribe to a capitula tion. Conformably to this law, the Pacha of Brai low, who so bravely defended that place, was be headed on the 7th September. It is therefore be lieved that Varna will be taken by storm, unless the Capitan Pacha consents to remain a prisoner among the Russians. The liberal French journals are much criticised here in the upper circles : the old tendency of libe ralism is still recognised in them. People say that the liberals have learned nothing, and forgotten no thing; and that they alone impede the progress of civilization. An article in the Courier des Pays Bas, in which the desires of the French journalist ate perfectly appreciated, has excited a great deal of sen sation here, and again recalled apprehensions which had been long forgotton. VIENNA, OCT. G.—The mail from Odessa of the 2Gth of September has arrived, and brings no news of any consequence, except the departure of the ' Empress, which took place on the 21st. Prince Volconsky and the Count de Modena accompany her Majesty to St. Petersbnrgh. The Standard frigate sailed on the same evening with troops for Varna. Metalliques, 94 7-l6ths; Bank Shares, 1,052. PARIS, OCT. 15.--We have received from Bu. clearest the following letter dated the 26th of Sep, tember:-- " The news which we have just received from the theatre of war confirm every thing which has been announced for this week- past respecting the move ments of the Russian army before Shumla, and its retreat. The Russians, in order to cover the corps which were retiring, continue to occupy some in trenchments, but after having bravely defended them, they evacuated them ; probably on lettining that the Grand Vizier was marching by the road from Ad rianople to the relief of Varna. Hussein Bey had followed the remains of the army from Shumla on the road to Bazardjik, and detached another corps on the road to Silistria and Ilirsowa, in order to take advantage of the late events before the first of those places, and threatened the communications of the Russians on the Danube. " The Russian head-quarters were still at Bazard jik OR the 19th instant, but the difficulties in saving the materiel of the army, in the midst of the general distress, were immense." We have also learned, by the way of Trieste, that the Greek inhabitants of Prevesa have revolted against the Turks, whose garrison had taken refuge in the citadel, where it is besieged by the Greeks.

Hussein Pacha, the Commander-in-Chief of the Turkish Army of the Danube, is a native of Erzerum, and entered early in life into an prta of Janissaries. At the revolution of 1826 he had been already advanced to the high rank of an Aga of Janissaries. He had the supreme command of the Arsenal of Tophana. The Asiatic troops, who were called in by Sultan Mahmond, when he secretly entertained the de sire of freeing himself from the rebellious Ortasi were encamped at Scutari. Topschis Bostan dischis were transferred to Constantinople ; the barracks of .the Janissaries were surrounded, and the shooting of them commenced, The Sultan unfurled the Standard of the Prophet, in order to call the whole population to arms against this military ticipocracy, various reports were put into circulation, which the populace adopted easily, amongst other things, that the Janissaries detained vessels laden with corn, destined for the support of the people, to appropriate them to themselves ; a scared) , or diminution in the supply of provisions, from the moment when the massacre of the mutineers had commenced, excited all classes of men in the Imperial city. When Hussein saw their cause to be lost, and ail tlie Corporation of Trades, who were ge nerally the support of the soldiers, to be involved in murderous scenes, and the llama's (porters) as well o r s the capji (engine men), and others to be discouraged, he Entered into 4 secret nego tiation with the Monarch. He had the 4 4 ., arsenal at his disposal, which he might have set on fire. He was promised the rank of a Pacha of Two Tails, if he would surrender the arsenal to the Topschis, and paralyse the efforts of the Ortas, This matter was very cleverly managed. Hussein's company was overpowered, part of them were decapitated and thrown into the Bosphorus ; another part was transported to the coast of Asia. So little transpired of the secret intrigues of Hussein, that tho ash-Tchiauch, or Grand Provost, seeing the Aga quite inactive, actually lodged an accusation against him. But the fate of Haman overtook him, and the punishment which he had proposed against the Aga ( Hussein) was awarded against his accuser, and Hussein was invested with thefur pelisse of a Pacha. He conducted the organisation of the new troops. He called in officers from Ibrahim% army that were conversant with European tactics, and brought forward those Mussulinans who had acted a part in the reform planned by Selim. The Sultan appreciated the firm and severe character of his new Paella, and appointed him Com mander-in-Chief of his armies on the Danube. ANOTJIER htpnompTu !—On Monclay even ing last, a lady arrived at the Stag and pheasant Inn, Lei cester, by the Druce coach, on her way to London, when having complained of being ill on the road, she was shortly after her arrival delivered of a fine boy ! The present landlord, 'Mr. W. HESTER, has lived in the house only seven months, and it is remarkable that this is the second time that a similar accident has happened. —Drakards Stamford News, LONDON. SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 18, 18211. We have as yet no official news from the theatre of war, but the accounts from other quarters, like gathering clouds before the burst ing of a storm, seem to give fearful anticipation of the approaching crisis in the affairs of the Russian armies beyond the Danube. The silence, too, of the Russian Authorities themselves go Far to authenticate the dismal forebodings of their busy commentators. An article from Bucharest, of the 26th September, gives the following ac- count of the movements of the Rilssian army before Shinnla, and its retreat :—" The Rus- sians, in order to cover the coie which were retiring, continued to occupy some intrench meuts, but after having bravely defended them, they evacuated them, probably on learning that the Grand Vizier was marching by the road from Adrianople to the relief of Varna. HUSSEIN BEY had followed the remains of the army from Shumla, on the road to Bazardjik, and detached another corps on the road to Silistria and Hir soya, in order to take advantage of the late events before the first of these places, and threatened the communications of the Russians on the Danube." Notwithstanding all this, the Rus sian head-quarters were still at Bazardjik on the 19th ; but the difficulties in saving the materiel of the army, in the midst of the general distress, were said to be immense. The . Journal du Commerce, of Tuesday last, gives a still more gloomy picture of their distress and forlorn condition, in a communication from Frankfort, of the 9th inst., and which we gave yesterday in a Second Edition. It is as follows: " Intelligence from all quarters agrees as to the fact, that the campaign against the Porte has taken a turn which is very unfavourable to the Russians. In the place of the Berlin Gazette, which for several days has maintained a suspicious silence on the af fairs of the East, private letters from that citadel speak of a general breaking up of the second army, under General Wittgenstein. The cavalry must have suffered exceedingly, and the want of forage has dismo►tnted whole regiments. Water was so scarce as to be sold at the price of two rubles a bottle. If any reliance is to be placed on the rumour; which have been circulated to-day on our Exchange, the Russians have raised the siege of Varna, and have commenced their retreat towards the Danube. The fact of the Turks having given much annoyance to the army before Silistria, and of General Roth hav ing been dismissed from the command, is confirmed. We are waiting with great impatience for the next numbers of the Austrian Observer, which will enable us to judge of the dee of confidence which all this news may deserve." The above may be true, but we are not in clined to give it implicit belief. The Russians must have for some time foreseen the turn which affairs were taking or likely to take, and they surely could not be so improvident as to neglect the means for the preservation, if not the salva tion of their army, at a period which threatened their general destruction. A short time will, however, clear up th e m ystery, even should the Russians conti nue to ma i nta i n a silence which only serves to warrant the exaggerations of their officious fri en d s . Vi ew i ng t h e a ff a i r in the mo s t enemies, and th e p l aus ibl e i nven tions of their charitable light, it must be confessed that after all their unnecessary boasts at the beginning of the campaign, they have made a sad business of it. Letters have been received from Vienna of the 7th, and from Frankfort of the 12th inst.; they bring no further ailvices from the seat of war in the East, but observe great rejoicings were taking place at t te disasters of the Russian Army At the above date the Metalliques, at the former place, were 93i y, and the latter, 93i. ea % German and Dutch Papers have been received to late dates, but their contents add little to our previous stock of information. The Berlin Gazette gives some trifling accounts from the army of General PASKEWITSCH, prior to the capture of Akhalzik : BERLIN, OCT. 10.—Our State Gazette, after some days' silence, has again some news from the theatre of war, but only from that part of it which is in Asia. There, too, nothing of importance seems to have occurred. The accounts given relate merely to some particulars of the battle which pre ceded the taking of Akhalzik ; the vicinity of the three fortresses last taken to the line of the Russian frontiers, as they are much farther from Erzerum than the fortress of Kars, which was taken so much earlier, proves with what prudence General Paske witsch proceeds in his operations. The wisdom of this precaution is apparent, from other reports given by our State Gazette, according to which small corps of Turkish troops had, i:e the beginning of August, made incursions into the Russian territory, in which they had penetrated into Georgia, as far as to the river Kur, on which Tiflis, the capital, is situated. TUE HAGUE, OCT. 12.----By a Resolution of the 9th of this month, his Majesty has appointed Ge neral Van der Bosch, who has returned from the \Veit Indies, to succeed his Excellency Viscount Don Bus de Ghissignies, as Governor-General of India.

WARSAW, SEPT. 26.—Several Journals have re ported, that part of the Polish army had received orders to join the army on the Danube, and that this had been done merely to gratify the Polish army, which MS eager to engage the Turks. We believe there is as little reason to say that uny notion has been entertained of sending the Polish army out of the kingdom, as that any corps of that army hus given occasion to have its wishes talked of. Our army is so often assembled that nobody here thinks any thing about it. Only the Journals take such opportunities to infer from them some important measure, the discovery of which gives them impor tance. It is said that our Government is negotiating a Concordat with the Pope, and that it is nearly concluded.—/111genteine Zeitung, Oct. 10. Letters from Leipsic of the beginning of this month, state, that although the Fair has just commenced, the wholesale merchants have already done considerable business with merchants from the Danube, for articles of necessity for the Rus sian armies. It would appear by the following communiea- tion from Dublin that the work of persecution will not be allowed to sleep even after the storm of agitation has passed away. Mr. LAW LESS has been arrested by Government for sedition. Our Dublin Correspondent says- 7 " LAWLESS is arrested for jolp ding a seditious mob at Ballibay. He was unpopular with the Ca tholics for his imprudence—this will reinstate him. The bail required is small, 2001. I believe. He will obtain it, and probably attend the Association to-day." The order for a general mourning seems to be apprehended by the manufacturing portion of the public as pregnant with great privations, from its long continuance. Six weeks they consider, and with good reason, we think, too long. The people of Coventry received the news with con sternation—and are about to petition his MA JESTY to limit the duration of mourning to four weeks—a request.which, we have no doubt, will be complied with. As an expression of public grief, we are of opinion that a.firtnight would be equally effective as six weeks—and, we think, that in all matters of this kind, the general interests should not be lost sight of in paying a token of national respect to the memory of members of the Royal F am ily. We are certain that the beneficent feel ings of his most Gracious MAJESTY would not wish to force his subjects to appear to pay their homage of sympathy for a period which must inevitably conduce to their own disadvantage. In saying this we wish to be understood only as referring to general mourning, which should be limited in its duration to meet the exigencies of trade. Court mour n in g is a different thing, and might be observed du r ing the usual period. The following is from the Coventry Herald of yesterday upon this subject " Yesterday our city was thrown into consterna- tion, by the announcement of a general mourning for the death of the Dowager Queen of %Virtem berg, sister of the King. At this season the stocks of goods for the supply of the winter trade are fully prepared, and in consequence of the fineness of the weather the demand was protracted, and therefore the quantity of winter ribbons in the manufacturer? hand are, if any thing, rather larger than ordinary. Under these circumstances, the deplorable nature of the effect upon the trade must be manifest; and we consider the most prompt, energetic, and united exertions of all persons interested in the ribbon ma- nufacture, wilt be necessary, to attempt an allevia tion of the evil that has fallen upon us. The plan we propose is, to petition the Government to cur tail the period of mourning to four weeks, which will terminate in the middle of November. The petition should be prepared instantly. The weavers from the country could sign it on Saturday and Monday, and on Tuesday it should be presented. Every one who can sign it, ought to sign ; all the people of our neighbourhood should affix their sig. natures; for there are none but what are deeply in terested in the measure. We would urge the people, as they value their own welfare, to be active on t hi s occasion. There must be every disposition on the part of the Ministry, to prevent any unnecessary privations to all classes of his , Majesty's subjects; and we indulge the hope, that if a forcible represen tation were made of the injury, which is inevitable, and must accrue, to the silk trade, from a six weeks' mourning, that the shorter period would be adopted. The more prompt we are, the more we shall con vince the Government that our alarms are well founded, and that we do not petition from a slight and frivolous cause, but from a deep sense of the S PRICES OF STOCKS THIS 11 ink :took 3 per Cent. 8ed....
