SIR-Should you, during the present interval, when you seem not overburdened with very late European news, be able to find a spare corner in your much esteemed Paper, for the insertion of a curious spectacle, which I witness ed some few months since when marching from 3/ uttra to Nus seerabad, it is very much at your service and disposal.— " Ehurpore," I must beg to call to your recollection, is a word whose very mention acts as a talisman in every soldier's heart ; with► it are connected fdelings and recollections only bearable, because they lead to the hope—nay the conviction, that the time must come, and shortly. too, it is to be hoped, when I I * * * w * * * a a • • • • • a * llut to proceed— I halted the first day at a village, whose name has just now escaped my recollection, some 15 miles front Illuttra, and in the evening, anxious to stretch my legs, and at the same time let nothing curious in that little traversed part of India escape my notice, I sallied from my tent accompanied by a friend, and as we were not more than a stone's throw from the Bhurpore terri tory, (through which we were to proceed the following morning) bent our steps in that direction. We had not advanced far when we came to an extensive garden, surrounded by a pretty high wall, situated not more than half a mile, or so, from the high road, meaning by the bye a somewhat beaten track much re sembling a sheep track in England.—Our fancies were tickled with some very whimsical paintings of the Ilindoo mytho logy, with which the walls of the garden appeared covered; as we were feasting our eye-sight with this precious sample of the excellence of the arts in the East, a native, fully equipped and sword in hand, nimbly bounded from the top o f the wall just above our heads, and courteously informed us that he was a servant of the Ranee of Bhurpore, by whom, for the salvation of her soul, the garden, as well as a tank and temple, which he pointed out to us at no great distance, were formed. Our friend at the same time proffered his services to enlighten our darkness, with regard to the figures and fables represented on the wall, for which purpose, he added, he had been stationed there. We gladly availed ourselves of his oiler, and accom panied him down one face cf the -- .Tarden wall, as in duty bound, listening to his erudite explanation of the stories pour trayed on it, and expressing our thanks for the information he conveyed to us.—So far, so good ; we began to have a e rat m in y g narration—th e fi gures on the second face were on quit e a diff erent su bj ect—at good opinion of the Bhurpore a ns, and rea lly f e lt t h e civi hint in som e wa y or lity of our guide, so much so, indeed, that w e were regret ting the foolish custom of not carrying purses i n I n di a , an d o fo ti n te n r. ing r w oj e e v c e t y s , fur e r o em nt u it n tu e .the commencement was the battle of Bhurpore, which I can assure you is not forgotten in those parts, but on the contrary nolens cokes thrown in our teeth as often as possible. The Euro. peans are represented advancing most gallantly to the attack ; in one hand their swords waiving in the air, in the other a bottle, at which they ever and anon took huge potations, doubtless with the very vovident intention of keeping up, or whetting their courage. lhe Bhurpore artillery appeared nobly served, and European heads were to be seen flying in every di rection, but still the arm and brandy bottle remained, and even the headless trunks strove to imbibe some of the precious liquor, the cau de medicinale, the balsam of life. It was a grand sight —Lord Lik Saha) and General Marshall Saheb were there in all their glory, and were frequently pointed out to us by our in. telligent guide in the true " Walk in Genmien and Ladies" stile. The battle was of course followed up by the defeat, and sure no Welsh goats could have scampered away in half the stile our troops did, with Lord Lik and General Marshall Sahebs I) es`ni should an still at their head.—We laughed heartily, and could not con ceal our amusement at this unique scene ; it certainly de lighted us highly, but notwithstanding, our excessive good humour evinced by repeated bursts of laughter, I could not help observing that a degree of anxiety was ap parent on the countenance ! of our guide, who evidently, as we proceeded, spewed an inclination to yield his prece dence in the line of march, 'till gradually lie dropped quite astern,—the cause was soon, apparent—he had been too prolix in his explanation of the remainder, and had accordingly felt t h e we ight of sonic sturdy Englishman's arm, that was evi dent : accordingly as we left the " Battle" behind, and came towards the close of the 44 Retreat," (or defeat if you like,) a great portion of his former garrulity had left him, and by de grees he became totally silent. To account for this abrupt change, I must continue my narrative. —Rejoicin gs of all sorts, with a grand display of fire-works, naturally followed such a Raja was indispensable ; accordingly, the worthy and . what is more, g ot lo t r i i t o e us i v ., 2 t e j to7v, and to make it more striking, the presence and magnanimous Prince makes his appearance in his live, by at aby European o p , ffi a Ica blushe n r k s e : e nat,lol and thinkborne. what by Europeans, the more dogo,trreo re presentation of aglets made them appear very much like Ge neral Officers ; indeed we fancied that the two bangywallas behind looked much like the very Lord l.ik and General Mar shall Sahebs, who had already cut so conspicuous a figure.— The sight acted upon us as if by magic —purses and re munerations flew into boundless air, and swords, daggers, and pistols took their places in our imaginations—our lists insensibly closed, and we internally prayed that no mention might be made of this detestable production, fur we should have been bound in honour to have murdered the poor devil ; but there was little fear of that—the fellow, I am sure, placed great dependence on his swiftness of foot like the " T.'w6'as comic AY- I %\?4riCt" or he would scarcely have remained so long; as it was, he took up a most masterly position for a precipitate re treat ; but as he was silent we did not consider ourselves called on to become active avengers of the insult, and the unfortunate fellow continued with us unharmed, but without the slightest chance of fee or reward—and yet, after all, what harm had he done ? We were certainly unjust towards him, and I have tome to a determination of looking in on him the next time I pass that place. 'lhis, Mr. Editor, appears to me a very fair sample of the na tive character—what a display of magnaniniity and greatness of mind does their treatment of the supposed captured evince ? What childish vauntings of their victory, if that expression can be applied to our failure at Bhurpore, where the Raja was ob liged to sue fur peace in the most abject terms, and it was high time, or the destruction o f fl atrass would have f a ll en on his famed fort--this he full well knew, and I believe the greater part of his Sirdars'are now pretty well impressed with the con viction that the seventh day after the op - ring of their batteries would see the British colours waving otl. its citadel. I am, Sir, Your's obediently Barrackpore, Aug. 5, 11123. A TRAVELLER. * IVc have omitted a few lines here for obvious reasons.—En. A IlonaEt.t SHOT.—On Wednesday morning, between two and three o'clock, the shop of Messrs. It. and G. Graham, silversmiths and jewellers, Stable-yard, Woolwich, was broken open, and property in jewellery, pearls, diamonds, plate, &c. to a very considerable amount, carried off. The villains effected their purpose icy means of centre-bits, with which they pierced the shut ters, and the hand of one of them was in the act of drawing out a gold necklace at the moment Mr. IL Graham, alarmed at their proceedings, entered armed with pistols, the contents of which he dis charged in succession, and wounded the intruded arm, and,.it is supposed, the side of its owner, who retreated, exclaiming, " Oh ! my side—l am ruined !" A great quantity of blood was dis covered on the spot where the robber stood, and one of the bullets discharged by Mr. Graham, who made application to the different hospitals in town, in expectation of finding the wounded man, but no tidings of him have been received.

By Art AcTon, if we did not infer that the celebrated NORTH ERN PREACHER, who has attracted SO much at tention from persons of all ranks, has severely attacked the Stage, we should disapprove of the freedom which marks the title' page of this pam phlet. But if such is the case, we must consider it as a just, as well as spirited, retort. We have never, indeed, read a more animated tract than the work before us. If it was really written by AN ACTOR, it is most strikingly manifest that he brings every intellectual and moral excellence to his art ; and if his external qualities are in proportion to his mental powers and qtrali , ties, he must indeed be calculated to raise it to the highest degree of estimation. The spi rited and intelligent writer, of whom we really have no personal knowledge, has in this brief, but emphatic work given an eloquent and most sa tisfactory vindication of the theatrical profession, and of the important advantages which society de rives from the representations of the drama.— He supports his defence by arguments drawn from the opinions of the wisest sages, legisla tors, and philosophers of antiquity, and even negatively, if not, at times, positively, from RELI , GION herself. The whole is so animated, im pressive and convincing, that if we had room we should not know where to select a passage among so many affording a more satisfactory refutation of the vulgar, ignorant, and bigotted objections that have been urged against the Stage, or a more spirit ed, eloquent and manly vindication of its inherent merits and general tendency. I t is to he regret- - ted that so masterly a tract should appear in the shape of those calch-penny publications ,% ith which the public press is inundated. It should be pre sented to the public in a better form, and, while it ought to be the Vatic Mecum of the theatrical community, it is well entitled to the countenance of the Moralist, the Philosopher, and the States man. A spirited alleg . orical coloured print is pre fixed to the title 7 page from a humorous design of Rossß•r CRUICKSHANK, one of the roost popu lar caricaturists of the day. Our only objection to this work is its attack on Mr. MARTIN, M.P., who can have no motive for his public conduct but the laudable impulse of benevolence. FOR THE SUN. - Enuron—l some time ago read a letter in your Paper, signed " H. Campbell," which contained that gentleman's comparisons between the Harbours of Ardrossan and Troon, and be tween the Establishments of liatrine and New Lanark. I knew that he was wrong with regard to the Harbours; having heard of the Driver sloop of war being in the harbour of A rdrossan ; and from living in the neighbourhood of New Lanark, I was also satisfied that every thing he said of that splendid establishment was incorrect. I have not his letter now before me, but I re collect that he insinuated that the people are compelled to buy from the company's store, that they are not at liberty to do with themselves what they choose, after their work is over, and a number of other things equally absurd, of which lat this moment forget the details. The people at New Lanark may purchase at the store or not as they please, and they are at liberty, as every where else, to go where they please after the hours of labour. Aml as they Only work 101 hours per day, they have an hour and a half more time to themselves than the operatives at other cotton mills have. I am surprized that any one should have considered it worth his while to contradict the statements of Mr. Camp bell, and I have now been induced to write this, merely to show that the other parts of Air. C.'s letter were equally incorrect, as what he advanc ed with respect to the harbours. I am, Sir, Tours, Lanarkshire, March 6, 11124. V. A. COURT OF CHANCERY---(Tins DAY.) GEORGES V. GEORGES. Mr. ll.taT, in calling the attention of the Lord Chancellor to this cause, in which property to a very large amount is depending in the West In dies, said, though he himself had no doubt of the intention of Lordship in making the Order which the Registrar had drawn up in the precise words of his Lordship yet the Master felt a dif ficulty as to the point whether or not, pending the three months, for which time the sale had been postponed, he was to proceed as usual. The LORD CII ANC rmmu. directed that no far. Cher proceedings were to take place in the 'Mastel's Office, without an intimation from the Court. That the three months were to com mence from the date of the order ; and that the Master should be at liberty to advertise the post ponement of the sale, but nothing further. The Magistrates of Anglesey have had.a cor. respondence with the Commissioners of the Great Irish Road, relative to the additional toll of live shillings, hi herto collected on that road for every horse drawing a cart with narrow wheels or with projecting nail heads : the result of which has been that the Commissioners acknowledged themselves to have been IN ERROR, and that the power in question does not extend to the Anglesey road. Ye are authorised to state that Government have consented to remit the moiety of the flop Duty of 1822„ provided the other moiety is paid in due course.
