SOUTHWARK SESSIONS. Yesterday these Sessions commenced before the LORD 111AYuit, the RECORDER, and Alderman J. J. SMITH. Edward Aladin, an elderly man of respectable appearance .and address, was indicted for having uttered a counterfeit half. crown, and having in his possession other counterfeit money knowingly. The prisoner, Upon being asked whether he was " guilty or not guilty," said he certainly was guilty, but he earnestly re. quested that the Court would attend to . his reasons for doing what he had done. He entertained no doubt of a merciful con sideration if he was heard in mitigation. • The RECORDER said, he could not permit the prisoner to address the Court under such circumstances, and advised him to take his trial. The prisoner persisted 'in acknowledging his guilt, saying that It was impossible for a man his age OD to pretend to be innocent when he was positively guilty. The RECORDER—" Y advise you, as a friend, to plead ', not guilty.' ' Your acknowledgment of guilt cannon affect your sen tence, which is fixed by Act of Parliament. The Act has no power of mitigation." The prisoner handed a writted statement, and begged that it might be read betbre senten ce w as pa s s e d upon him, as it con tained his reasons tbr utt e ri ng . t h e b a d money. The RECORDER again advised the prisoner to pl ea d " not guilty," anti said he could not admit such a precedent under circumstances of such a nature. If the admission of . guilt were persisted in;.the , only course to be adopted by the prisoner was that'of petitioning the Secretary of State for t mitication of pu nishment, and producing evid e n ce o f t h e mull The represen tation. _ _ The prisoner 'shed tears, and begged to be ligird. His mis fortunes were exceoslve-: The RECORDER—" I cannot permit you to_ proceed. It is wholly against the course of public justice. Why do you not plead' not guilty ?' Are you aware of the sentence I must pass upon you if you persevere ?" Prisoner—" I ant aware of its severity, but I must persist in saying that I am guilty." The RECORDER regretted that he would not take the' chance of a trial, and'procceded to pass sentence upon him. The un fortunate ' man was greatly affected upon heating that he *as to be imprisoned for 12 months in the Borough Compter, and to find securities in the sum of 401. for his good behaviour for two years more. William Rush was indicted for stealing a sieve-full of damsons in the Borough. The theft was proved beyond the power of contradiction from weight of character. The prisoner pnt in a written defence, which the RECORDER said he had no . doubt was the production of some idle fellow, who was in the habit of imposing upon wretched prisoners, and getting sg. from them, by the assurance of an acquittal on the merits of the writing. An Irish woman, whO came forward to speak in favour of the prisoner, svrorelhat she knew him biybre . he was born. The Jury found him GitiO, but recommended him to mercy, 'on account of his good character. • He was fined a shilling, and discharged. John Rolfe was found guilty of stealing two sieves of fruit in the Borough-market. Ile had not a good character, and The - RECORDER sentenced him to be Whipped . publicly through the market on a market-day, and to be imprisoned to hard labotir in Brixton Ilouse of Correction for six months. A few days ago, a winged insect, abent the length and thickness of a man's linger, and agreeing with the description given of the locust, was caught alive in a field of wheat at Low Waskerly, near Shotley . Bridge, anti is now in the possession of 31,:ssrs. FoItSTER there. The following text. in Deuteronomy has been quoted in recommendation of parapets to houses: ," Vt thou blindest a new house, then shalt thou make a battlement for thy roof, that thou bring not blood upon thy hotsei if' any men fall from thence." 1 N 4) 1 A. From the Cakatta Gazette.) . . CALCUTTA, MAY 6.--AssAm.--Advices have been received from Mr. Scott, the Agent to the Governor- General, reporting his arrival at Nougaong on 15th April. This place is described as one of the largest towns in Assam, extending, in a straggling manner, for about seven miles along both sides of the Kullung river, and containing, it is said, 4;000 families. Mr. Scott proposed advancing, on 17th April, • with the detachment of the 23d Native Infantry, under Captain Horsburgh, to Kalliabur, one day's march north-east of Non gaong. The enemy's force stockaded at Moura Meokh, was understood to consist of 500 men, natives of the Ava country, and about the same number of Assameae, worse armed than usual, in consequence of almast the whole of their muskets having been thrown away by, that portion of their army which fled from Birkola on the 10th of Febru:try last. • The forward movement on Kalliabur is calculated to esta blish our authority, without further delay, - 4a , tvie western part of Assam —to secure provisions for the future supplies of the troops—and to dispel the well-grounded fears of the' inhabit ants, that if the country be left much longer unoccupied, the Burmese will recover their courage, and at least deprive us of its resources, if not create a subsequent famine, by sending out small parties to devastate and burn the villages. Nougaong is represented to be a place well calculated for a cantonment, and is likely,. to prove much more healthy th an any pan of our own frontier, and more abundant ingrain. The Burmese are said to be in great alarm, and sensible of their. Inability to make any effectual opposition without rein forcements, which they had repeatedly called for from Ara.— The inhabitants of the country through which Mr. Scott had passed, and which seemed to be very populous and well culti vated, evinced the utmost satisfaction at thearrival of our troops. Such of them as had displayed any backwardness in ass i st i ng us, were either dependent s of the Burmese, or afraid of their return ; which latter feeling could only be completely dispelled by the advance of a large force. Private letters mention that a Messenger sent with letters to the Governor of Assam, had been barbarously murdered by his order... They also describe the country round Nougaong, as highly cultivated and very populous, although evidently much lesl,,eythao it had recently' been. Nouguong itself, is said to be en immense grove of Beetul and other trees, principally those .upon which the Mogul Silk-worm is fed. Fcß'rtiXlS PARTlCL'i.AllB.—betterS from Russell Chokey, of the 15th of April, state that the Burmese had left that part of the country, and retired 70 miles higher up, where they had an advanced post at,Moura Mookh. They were said to have been attacketll4 the Assimese Chief,Chunder Kaunt,assisted by some Of the neighbouring Hill Tribes, and driven down to Jorelinut. lialliabur, the place upon which the Governor General's agent was advancing, is about a week's march above Goahuttor. tl4letters April.froni the i p , a h r t e y y I w itt il t t l il i A b Y Jar. n 3 d —S al e' to rot t il i t l E tl dl O ia o ute t i n dt a )lil u E n 43S tl ikE s 'i o ri f Cr t r :r hi ii k n iac i es ett by time Burmese.

It appeared trout the information obtained at Russali Chokey, that the action at Birkola in February last, had done the enemy more mischief than could have been effected by any other means. The Burmese Commander was said to have returned to. Russell Chokey in rags, and to such straits were his followers reduced, that three of them were killed fighting for the root of a plantain tree. Of the men they took on that expedition - not one half returned. The party with the Agent were advancing to Kalliabur, and did not expect to find any difficulty in getting provisi ons , w hi c h , b y all accounts, were abundant in that route. The party would consist of gOO, including camp followers and the Rajah JplteallN troops, of whom the Agent,would take' about 240, with two small pieces belonging to them. through The party had notteeapore,the making after sedviesntanoereeight twelve marches. Were the tWeen Gowahat ee an d sylbet, roads improved, bridges made, and one or two depots of pm visions formed, troops could march' across at any season of the year, and the country would form a most excellent convales cent station fbi sick Officers or men in .Assain. A little vessel, Of about 110 tons, belonging to Messrs. Kyd and Co. arrived at Chittagong, on the 27th April, from Ran goon. On her way 811 e lost a boat, with an officer, naumed Sutherlend, together with; the boat's drew, who were sent on shore for water, at a place about 45 miles below the mouth of the Armen River, and were carried off by time Burmese. The vessel cut her cable, and Made her escape. The commander of the vessel.reports that the King of Ava was bent on war, and that on the Shapore .busines s he had sent the General Bundoola, with 6,000 men, from Ar a , and his placed at his disposal a force hi tutu of 30,000 m en , At Rangoon the Burmese had no idea of an attack, and would not, it is supposed, make any opposition ; but the mere taking of the place, without further anti more serious military oper , tions, would not probably induce the Kin g t o so li c i t terms. There was a rumour at Chittagong of the return of the Bur mese to the southward on our frontier, but scouts had come in, rind reported, that there was no appearance of their near ap proach. •, , • CAPTURE OF fIOWAIIATTY. CALCUTTA, APRIL 12.—Official intelligence has, we un derstand, been received front Brigadier Mac Marine, 'dated on the left bank of the Berli am oter, March Camp 2 i r tiwu reporting n3tl ' i the occupation, by our t roops, of G poowa batty, the capital of Assam. liiwadier Inc Marine was joined _by the Ilowitzers on the 26th .Ilarch, when he advanced with the whole force, consist ing of the Rungpore Light Infantry, Chumparun Light Infan try, and Dinagepore Local Battalion, anti on the morning of the 28th, proceeded to the vicinity of Gowahatty, with the view of taking up a position for investing the place. On his arrival, with the Flotilla of gun-boats, at Pundoo /mum, a reconnoisance was made, by which it was discovered that the Dewun tiorreah Fort had been deserted, the enemy having, durin g the preceding night, evacuated the whole of their Stockades and Choke" in and adjoining Gowaliatt.v, and retired, it is rePOrted to Iloosab to join a considerable body o f Burmese at , that place. A few loaded iron guns were found in the Fort, and a Sepoy of the Chumparun Light Infantry possessed himself of a pair of colours which the enemy had lett behind. Some small parties of Sepoys were detached:to the town and neighbourhood, to take- care that the inhabitants were n o t plundered of what little the Burmese had not carried off with them. From private accounts we have gathered the following fur ther particularS:—On the 27th the troops arrived at Plosbang, and the advance guard, under Capt. Sneytl, saw about twenty Burmese, close to the:place where they were to encamp. The Burmese took to flight, and were followed by Capt. e,neyd's party main they disappeared in a deep Nubah, when a loud about was set up by about 200 others from the opposite bank, beating tom toms, &c.

FOIL THE SUN. INDIA. THE REVIEWER REVIEWED. " .We have no hostility towards the East India Company, but, on the. contrary, fear nothing so much as tb4t. the Govern. meat of India should ever be withdraion from it."--4.l4lorgin g Chronicle, Sept. 30, 1824.) Ma. EDITOR-116s speaks one of .the panel. pal Journals of Europe, and su think many others. The Morning Chronicle and the Globe and Tra, roller may write their sentiments, and Mr.. BuOit- INGHAM may make speeches and write Essays, but because I happen to be a military officer, I am to have my mouth hermetically sealed. This is strange and. arbitrary doctrine, and a doctrine which I by no means will subscribe to ; besides, it comes with a very bad grace from the staunch advocate for freedom of speech. I have as un deniable a.rigitand as inextinguishable a claim to write and speak as any other man ; and while I do so from principle, in temperate slid courteous language, I shall not be blamed by my country men, nor will they allow me to be inuholated at the diction of any one for giving them a 'clear insight into the state of India and the qtiestion tit the Free Press. In the letters which you'did me the honour of publishing, your Readers must have observed that I scrupulously avoided mentioning either the name of Mr. BUCKINGHAM or his late Calcutta Journal. I had no wish to recall to his memory his severe, losses; or thedisappointments he has, experienced in his political career. In the Essays alluded to, I confined myself to the general gites tion of the " Free Press" in India, and made no allusion to persons either by designation or in: lerence. That have'not done the thing well is my misfortune : there are few men who can write like Mr. 8., and still fewer who can more adroitly slip over substances and facts, rind substitute in their place fallacies and phantoms. Although am so dull that 44 my meanings are not to he traced," &c. &c. is all very cogent no doubt, atid perhaps may be true; but we often know, that in interested persons, " none are so blind a s t h ose that will not s ee ." lowever, whether I ever pos. sessed any intellectual powers, or whether they have deserted me on this occasion, n'importe, a man may possess a little common sense, which, aided by a long residence in various parts of India, and a conscientious feeling of rectitude tewards both parties, will give .to his sentiments some little weight. Mr. B. admits this, .and says, " I had given to arguments, utterly devoid of reason, a degree of importance which they would never otherwise have attained." A little further on Mr. 8., with singular infelicity, Says, " Fortu• nately the letters of Captain SEELY were of little importance." These inconsistencies in a publiC writer, who has an object to effect, are nothing ; for he must, in his endeavour to gain proselytes, write down those who have the misfortune to dif fer with him,' and on pursuing his object every thing is made to assume a perverted and cis: torted shape. In the Oriental Herald of this month, and which arrived yesterday, Mr. 13. has thought proper to notice my letters on the " Free Press," and in doing so wish he bad abstained from that ill humour and acidity of expression, of which forbearance I have set him so decided an ex ample. Mr. 13. asserts, that I" expressly prtivoked the discussion ;" this I must deny. Mr. 13.'s at tack on me is purely gratuitous and uncalled for, in my letters I made not the most distant allu sion to his name or newspaper ; sufficient it was that I was in opposition to the question of .the cc Free Press" to be thought•deserving of notice,. and accordingly I am selected as the one of " nu merous writings.'.' It. was said but the other day (Feb. 18'24), " While so able and distinguished an officer as Sir J.MAtcouss is unemployed, we should conceive that the Company would not think of looking elsewhere fora Governor of Bombay, should its present able and enlightened servant, Mr. ELPIIINSTONE, be removed to Madras." Now, that eminent man, SirjohN, is any thing but what he ought to be. But While I speak what I knew to be the real state of the case, nod am free from hostility to any one, my motives will be applauded, and I still have the pleasing satisfaction of knowing, that principle alone ac tuates me in the course I have pursued. From the bottom of my heart I feel for Mr. 13. and the severe losses he has met with, but it was his own fault ; he brought th e m i s f ortunes on himself ; he lie warned cannot of therefored:i nge danger, andsur surprised the was ; r i e s k P e l n ie te ran y ; (however severely he may feel) at the•courSe pur sued towards him, and during the whole .of . the business, from first to last, he has only himself to blame. I will now tell Mr. B. why 1 took up so zealously the cause of India. lie must re eollect a most unfounded and unjustifiable attack made on the Indian Army both in the globe anti 'Traveller (19th July), and in the Oriental He rald of the following month. This unwarranted an array as any. in the statement on as fine world, as a soldier, I could not help replyin g t o; and as this was but one of a series of erroneods articles, I felt it a duty to vindicate the profes sional character of my brethren, and to espouse the cause of " that country whence I derive my !need." I do most solemnly assure ;Mr. B. that had he confined himself in his speeches and writ ings to his own case, I should never have said a word ; but, on the contrary, would, if in my power, have felt satisfaction in aiding him ; and this 1 believe he knows. J'r•inciples, not persons,. Were my objects ; that both are now in.

This was, I think, doing a s erv i ce to the State ; th e C om p an y have thought other. wise ; certainly, under this circumstance of the rejection of my claim, I, can feel no bias; and if there can lie purity of sentiment and of priuci. ple in a puhlic writer,, I may, on this account, lay some claim to it. NO reward the Court can bestow, or . punishment' . theY,...or' any other body, or individual, can will make me forego that which U . :et:rut-ice, as a ser. vent of the state, : and. a • deT6itier of the soil, to . be my bounden day*.

Mr. B. objects to " colonization and the con. sequent loss of India;" and in refutation brings forward, th e " W est Indies! the Cape, Mauri. tius, and New H o ll an d ;" but Mr. B. forgets, that we colonized North America,' and /oil It. Restoring an Island or infant settlement to the dominion of the parent Stale is not difficult ; but a vast Continent like India, inhabited by conquered millions, is' a very differeet affair deed. I shall not now reply to time other corn. memories of. Mr. 8., who has seleCted ten para• graphs out of the articles of " considerable length." I have here subStantial reasons for not replying at length ; first, I cannot write so well as Mr. 13.; secondly, the crippled state of my hands allows.me only to trot, while he can gal. lop, over quires ; and thirdly, the public having been kindly pleased to patronize my Book on 44 Elora," to that extent that a largp edition has been expended in five months, i ttm now fully occupied in enlarging and amending my former publication, as the second Edition is now in the press. Besides this, I am engaged in another work on India, have an extensive -correspond wire, three children to educdte, and I cannot write by candle-light. But, we must, Mr. Editor, look at Mr. 'B.'s communications to Nou regarding 'my Essays. Mr. IL says, that after you had kept " his letter a week," the Proprietor directed its return, " assigning as a reason that it was too perroriat for admission ;" and further, that . Capt. SCELY'S name was " too pointedly used." Be that as It may, " those who play at Lowls . must expect rub beri." • .The fvelings in your mitidw lath cliff tated this rejection was equitable and kind ; fort in no wise used.namesoind refrained from personalitiez..
