I . n vin been Liven of l the murder, a stron g muster of the g nei diately went in sear c h o f t h e murderer; and dirninun• the day several persons were taken into custody non - suspicion, but from want of evid ence were discharged. Yesterday about noon the supposed murde'rer was captured at Tintern Abbey, about two miles from the scene of the murder. He is now in custody awaiting the decision of the Coroner's inquest, now sitting. The prisoner, Edward Reece, is a man about 26 years of age, a near neighbour of the deceased. Sus picion fell up on hi m inconsequence of his having been spending considerable sums of money on the preceding day; as he was merely a farm labourer it was at once supposed he could not by honest means have been in possession of the money. Since his apprehension a shirt and waistcoat belonging to him have been disco vered in the thatch of one of the farm-buildings, covered with blood. It appears the villain entered the house while the woman w as engage d i n h er do mestic duties, and struck her with the hedge stake on the hack of the head. The blow having failed to stun the deceased, she appears to have struggled with the murderer, as it is evident that she had moved about the room previously to the villain accomplish ing his purpose in her final destruction. The prisoner had been married the preceding Sunday. MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. GLOBE.—While the Times is alternately exalting and asperiing Bishops, it is seeking to revive one of the worst claims of priestcraft in behalf of " Pres byters" —we mean the claim that auricular confession of criminals is to be held sacred to them. The Rev. Henry Formby, curate of Ruardean, has been backed by the Times in the announced resolution to plagi arise from the Romish • Church (in contempt of law) the doctrine that confessions made to him by a dying criminal are sacred from justice. His peni tent was a woman who had committed repeated acts of infanticide—it is supposed with an accomplice— and her dying confession Mr. Formby keeps secret. The law recognises no such privileged communica tion ; the State, which upholds church endowments, probably does not uphold them in order to maintain functionaries who aid and abet crime, and comfort criminals by easing their bosom of the perilous stuff, which they are found so often ready to reveal to justice rather than retain uncommunicated. We are now told by the Times, and by the curate of Ruardean, that the State ought to permit the clergy of its choice to receive these confidences, under the seal of confes sion, and thus, in many cases, intercept them from justice. It is easy to see with what motive a section of the Anglican clergy may desire to snatch this privilege of confession from exclusive enjoyment of the Romish priest. It is a power over weak and guilty minds, useful for priestly purposes. The question is whether it is conducive to religious, moral, or political ones. Whether the intention of the State, in upholding a Protestant clergy, is to revive the doctrine of a power in the Church to absolve delinquents from their human duties, and to defraud human justice of the benefit of their confessions. This has always been held by Pro testants the worst relic of priestcraft among Roman Catholics; and the Times has not been the slowest to denounce its supposed effects in Ireland. In those ptirts of continental Europe which were long the most priest ridden, and partially are so still, the effects of the prac tice appear most unequivocally . "When in the South of Europe" (we quote the late esteemed historian, M. de Sismondi),we find all assassins, all thieves, all prostitutes, very scrupulously fulfilling all the observances of re-.' ligion, we are apt to accuse them of hypocrisy, and to imagine that, by their exterior of Christianity, they hz,so no other object than to deceive those who observe them. This is a mistake ; throughout the South of Europe, this refuse of society is bona fide religious. Malefactors becoming numerous, have found, have formed bad priests, who live by their offer ings, and who, as they partake the product, are always ready to sell the absolution of crime. STANDAUD.—We must respectfully- claim the attention of our readers to the proceedings in the Court of Common Pleas yesterday, in the case in which this journal was charged with libel. We shall not be accused of having neglected to raise our voice against the libel code until that code touched ourselves : the readers of the Standard know that we have never permitted any distinction of class, or sect, or party, to restrain our protest against that op pressive and degrading code as often a s th e oc casion occurred. This has been our conduct through a long course, in which extraordinary care, and we hope the influence of an anxious desire, never unnecessarily to damage the interests, or wound the self-love of an individual, has . obtained for us an im munity from libel prosecutions. Yesterday was the first conviction—almost the first prosecution--of the Standard for a libel, since its establishment, nearly sixteen years ago, and of the offence, whatever it might be complained of yesterday, the proprietor or editor of the Standard was really as innocent as any person who may read these lines. Under such cir cumstances it may be forgiven us if we feel deeply hurt by a conviction, and if we demand to present our wrongs to the public. We feel I that we suffer a grievous injustice, not from a judge or a jury —who must act as the law requires them— but from a tyrant law ; and the individual's acute sense of injustice it is a duty to proclaim, because the sense of individual wrong, from tyranny of every kind, serves to the social body that purpose of announcing the approach of danger, which physical pain sup plies to the natural holy. It is by practical expo u e, as instances o c c ur , th a t the public is to be taught the true character of that libel code which places the property and reputation of every person committed in the public Press, at the mercy of what every individual pleases to indulge his cupidity or malice at the expense of a newspaper proprietor: We do not conceal that in the present case the command of public duty is powerfully re-inforced by an earnest wish to acquit ourselves of the moral stain, for as such we esteem it, of a libel conviction. We are not con vinced by Sir Thomas Wilde's reasoning that a good character is a bad thing, which ought to go in aggrava tion of the punishment of him who has earned it, and there!bre we shall try at whatever pecuniary cost to preserve the character we have earned, re joiced that a good character is the only topic of reproach which our general conduct affords to a vin dictive accuser. With infinitely- more pleasure do we pay 2001. as the penalty of a good character, than we should obtain one hundred times the sum as the fruit of acts that could justly fasten upon us a cha racterr of an opposite description. W e are no t of Sir Thomas Wilde's school of mercantile morality; we cannot bring ourselves to think of money lost in da mages for lib e l as mere l y so much tare and tret upon it may be a gainful trade: we might think so if it v:ere the money only th a t was l ost, for that is nothing; but no profit can in our judgment be set in the balance a ga i ns t even a formal conviction of a vio• lation of the law to the injury of a fellow-subject.

Dispatches, of which the following is a Copy. have been transmitted by the Governor-General of India, and received at the East India House to-day : FllO3l MAJOR-GENERAL G. POLLOCK, C.D., COMMANDING IN AFFCILINISTAN, TO MAJOR -GENERAL J. R. LUM LEY, ADJUTANT-GENERAL OF TIIE ARMY. Head-quarters, Camp Caubul, Sept. 22, 1842. Sir,—l have the honour to report, for the information of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, that, having received information from Barneean that the Europeans, officers and soldiers, prisoners there, had made arrange ments by which they hoped to effect their own liberation, I, at the suggestion of Mohun Loll, with the concurrence of Khan Shereen Khan, chief of the Kuzzilbashes, sanc tioned the speedy departure of 700 of Ws horse, on the 15th inst., the day of our arrival here, to meet the party. Some difficulty occurring on the score of money, I advanced . 10,000 rupees, which were delivered by Sir It. Shakespear, who accompanied the Kuzzilbashes. Being apprehensive that attempts would be made to in tercept the prisoners, I detached Major General S;r Sale with the troops, viz., her Majesty's 3d Dragoons, Ist Light Cavalry, Backhomse's Mountain Train, two companies of her Majesty's 9th Foot, four companies of her Majesty's 13th Light Infantry, Broadfbot's Sappers, Ferris's Jezailchees, 80 Sikh horses, and 160 foot sol diers, under Captain Lawrence, on the 19th inst., to proceed to th e A rg h un d ee p ass , an d t h e c i rcumstance proved fortu na t e , as a delay of twenty-four hours would have enabled Sultan Jan, who was in p ursu i t, to over take our p eop l e. l am ppy to state, that the whole exceptionarr of f arrived in Captain my camp yesterday ev en i ng. ' Bygrave, who i s w i t h M ahozned who were i n con fi nem e n t (as per su bj o i ne d roll), with the Akbar, I cannot conclude without recording my opinion, that to Khan Shereen Khan and Mohun Loll may be attri buted the safety of the prisoners, and I have reason to believe the Chief of the Kuzzilbashes to be a steadfast adherent to the British Government.--I have, &c , GEORGE rOLLOCK, Major General, Com manding in Affghanistan. • LIST OF PRISONERS RELEASED ON TUE 21ST SEPT. 1842.

COMMANDING IN AFFGHANISTAN, TO MAJOR - GENERAL LUMLEY, ADJU TANT-GENERAL OF THE ARMY. Camp, Caubul, Oct. 1, 1842. Sir,--I have the honour eo forward a copy of a letter from Major-General McCaskill, K. 11., commanding the force which I detached under his command, for the pur pose of dispersing the enemy collected in the vicinity of Charekar, as stated in my letter of the 28th instant. The success of the Major-General's operations against Istalif is most gratifying, that place being considered by the Afii;hans as totally inaccessible to our troops. I have, &c. G. POLLOCK, Major-General, Commanding in Affghanistan. FROM MAJOR-GENERAL M g CASKILL, K. 11., COMMANDING DETACHMENT IN KOHISTAN, TO CAPTAIN PONSONBY, ASSISTANT ADJUTANT -GENERAL. Camp Istalif, Sept. 30, 1842. Sir,— I have the satisfaction to acquaint you, for the information of Major. Gen. Pollock, C. 8., that the troops under my command yesterday made themselvesmasters of the strong and populous town of Istaliff; totally de!eat ing the numerous levies collected fur its defence, under the infitmous Ameen Oolla Khan Loguree, Khaojie Atneer Kotwal, Hazin Khan (an assassin of Sir Alex ander Burnes), Hazir Alec Khan, Khuleefa Ibrahim, and many other chiefs of Caubul and Kohistan. The Major-General is aware that the force detailed below* was placed at my disposal for operations in these valleys on th e 25 t h ; t h e two brigades formed a junction near Khowja Itawash on the 26th, moved to an encamp rsent near Zimuree on the 27th, and pitched their tents within four miles of this place on the 28th. The same evening I reconnoitred the enemy s position ; it is impos sible to conceive ground naturally stronger. • The town of Istalif, consisting of masses of houses and forts, is built on the sl o p e o f t h e mountain, in the rear of which are yet loftier eminences, shutting in a defile which leads to Turkistan, and in no way can this place of abode of 15,000 people be approached but by surmounting ranges of separated by d ee p rav i nes, or traversing by, narrow roads its gardens, vineyards, and orchards, fenced in with strong enclosure walls ; the It hole of them, with the mountain side and tops of the houses, were occupied by iJezailehees, and the strongest proof is afforded that the enemy after this disrosition considered this place un assailable, by their having retained within the town the wives and children not only of the inhabitants, but of thousands of refugees from Caubul. The observations which I was enabled to make under a sharp Jezail fire and the report of Major Pottinger in duced me to determine to assault the next morning the right of the enemy's extensive position, as it was there that I could hope to bring the artillery most effectively into battery ; arrangements were made with this view. The troops were formed into two columns of attack and re serve ; Brigadier Tulloch's brigade and the mountain train composed the right ; Brigadier Stacey's and Capt. Blood's battery and the 18-pounders the left ; these were supported by the third column under Major Si monds, her Majesty's 41st, consisting of a wing of this regiment and the Cavalry under Major Lockwood; Capt. Christie's corps protected the baggage. The troops moved noon after daylight, and, traversing the plain in perfect order, passed nearly from the left to the right of the enemy's position. Our light troops and guns repressed the occasional attacks of theirJezailchees from the gardens, who were numerous and audacious ; but when the column arrived in front of the village Is millah, I resolved to make a combined attack on this point. Brigadier Tulloch's brigade assailed its left, and Brigadier Stacey, making a longer detour, attacked the right. I cannot express in adequate terms my admiration of the style in which the former column, covered by skir mishers, rushed upon the gardens filled with bold skilful marksmen. Her Majesty's 9th Foot, the 26th Native Infantry, and Captain Broadfoot's Sappers, vied with each other in steady courage, and their rapid and un hesitating advance soon left the enemy no resource but flight; very shortly after this assault the three light com panics of her Majesty's 41st, the 42d, and 43d Native Infantry, covering their own column, got into action, and on their side stormed the village and vineyard with distinguished gallantry; the combination was steadily persevered in, and, though I had few opportunities of using the artillery with effect, I had soon the gratifica tion of seeing the enclosures, forts, heights, suburbs, and town successively won by the two columns. The enemy were driven from them, and pursued with a ra pidity which left no time to rally, and a singular spec tacle was then presented in the escape up the mountain side of the women and children from the places to which no interception was offered ; but as detached parties of the beaten Affghans still occupied some very lofty heights, the mountain train ascended them by a dizzy pathway, and dispersed the fugitives by its effective fire. Our reserve was now established on the lower heights, and the whole of - the place, • filled with property of every description, much of it plundered from our army in 1841, was in the hands of our force ; two guns, brass field-piec es , were also taken, and o n e o f th em was seized with such promptitude that its captor, Lieute nant Elmberst, her Majesty's 9th Foot, turned its fire upon the fugitives with some effect. I directed the town to be set on fire in several places, after taking out various supplies which might be useful to our troops, and the work of demolition is still proceeding under the direction of Major Saunders, of the Engineers. Our loss has been trifling, for the advance of our officers and men was too rapid and decisive to allow of the sharp fire of the enemy telling much upon them, and, deceived by the direction of the reconnaissance of the 28th, the Afighana had ex pected the attack on their left, and posted their guns and the elite of their force in that quarter. I have now the pleasing task of expressing the amount of my obligations fbr their exertions in the field to Brigadiers Tulloch and Stacey commanding brigades and columns ; to Lieu tenant-Colonel Taylor, K.H., her Majesty's 9th Fort ; and Captain Broadt'oot, of the Sappers, commanding the corps on the right, which bore the brunt of the action ; to Major Simonds, her Majesty's 41st Foot, commanding the reserve ; to Captain Backhouse, commanding the mountain train ; and to Captain Blood, commanding the battery of 9-pounders ; the last wa s a bly a id e d b y Lientenant T err y. I have received valuable assistance throughout our operations from Major Pottinger, 0.13., and Major Saunders, engineers, and yesterday from Captain Mackenzie and Lieutenant Airy, her Majesty's 3d Buffs, and Lieutenant Webb, 30th regiment of Madras Native Infantry, temporarily attached to me, and since we marched from Caubul, as on former occasions, from my own stall; departmental and personal, viz., Captain Havelock, Deputy Assistant. Adjutant-General ; Lieut. Mayne, Deputy Assistant-Quartermast er General ; Lieutenant Pollock, Artillery, Aide-de-Ctunp to the MHjor-General,who volunteered his services with me; and to Lieut. Bethune, her Majesty's 9th Foot, my own Aid de-Camp. Regarding the last mentioned officer, I take this opportunity of rectifying an oversight on my part ; I ought especially to have reported to Major- General Pollock Lieut. Bethune's valuable services iu the recent affair at the Hull Kotul, in which I was intrusted with the command of the main column. Brigadier Tulloch reports in very strong terms on the good conduct on the present occasion of Capt. Smith, her Majesty's 9th Foot, his Brigade-Major. I incluse a return of the killed and wounded, and two of the guns captured.—l have, &c., JOHN M`CASKILL, Major-General, Commanding the force in Kohistan. * Artillery.—Captain Backhouse's Mountain Train ; Captain Blood's Battery of 9-pounders (Bombay) ; two 18 pounders.

Witness replied in the negative. Mr. HALL said that in that case his evidence could not be received. Sandroek, the superintendent, was about to speak to the witness, when he was ordered to be quiet by Mr. Thomas, who then asked if there were any other witnesses. Sandrock called Thomas Whitehead, T 53, who corroborated the statement of the last witness, and also produced a paper. Mr. Thomas —What paper is that ? Witness--A copy of one I saw in detendant's window. Mr. Thomas —Was it made on the spot Plt was, and I have had it in my possession ever since. Mr. Thomas now contended that this paper could not be read in evidence, as no notice had been given to his client to produce his original, in order that it might he compared with the constable's copy. Mr. HALL offered to give him time to go home and fetch it, but to this Mr. Thomas also objected, as being irregular. Mr. HALL said that being the case he was of opinion that the summons must be dismissed. Henry Lyalls was summoned for a similar offence, And his case was dismissed for a like reason.

CHINESE TAILS. —On the subjugation of China by the Tartars an edict was issued, requiring the whole nation to shave the front of the head, and. to plat the residue of the hair into a tail, the length and size of which is considered in China a great mark of mascu line beauty; in consequence of which great quantities of false hair are worked up with the natural hair, the ends being finished off with black silk cord. To the lower orders it is a useful ornament. I remember, on one occasion, to have seen a Chinaman flogging his pig along with it; while on another the servant was dusting the table ; and when their belligerent propen sities are excited, which is not often, they will twist each other's tails round their hands, pulling with all their strength, and enduring the most horrible torture until one or the other cries out peccavi. The Independent of Brussels states that on Satur day last cries were heard in the apartment occupied by Mademoiselle Crecy, an actress in that city, and that a few minutes afterwards a medical man was called in to attend a lady, whom he found lying on a sofa, bathed in blood. It would appear that wounds had been made in the head and hands of the sufferer. the person thus injured is Madame Royer, who, after a sharp discussion with Mademoiselle Crecy, was at tacked by the latter, and wounded as stated above. Mademoiselle Crecy was interrogated the next day by the Juge d'lnstruction, and the wounds, it was stated, were given with a steel leaf,-cutter. The matter, how ever, says the Beige, will probably terminate in a complaint before the Correctional Police. • The musical world will learn with regret.the death of the octogenarian Signor Ferrari, once conductor of the opera, and preceptor to the late Queen Caroline and Princess Charlotte. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) ?MANSION-HO USE: Thomas Shocker, a tailor, John Feltham, and George Sutton , his journeym en , an d A nn S utton, were charged before the Lord Mayor under the fol lowing uncommon circumstances : Inspector Waller, of the City police, stated, that at five o'clock on Sunday morning information was brought to him that the shop of Thacker, the tailor, was broken open and plundered of considerable pro • perty. He soon ascertained that a broker had been put in with a distress warrant, and had seized the goods in the shop, and that the broker had been in duced to leave the premises on Saturday evening, and in his absence the whole of the property was removed by a sort of conspiracy amongst the prisoners. One of them borrowed a key of a neighbour, with which the door was opened at a late hour. The witness, upon making particular inquiry, learned that Felt ham had removed the goods to a house in Clerken well, and the former went thither and found them. When he asked Thacker what the goods were worth of which the shop had been robbed, the answer he received was, that they were worth 801., but he had good reason to suppose they were not worth more than between 301. and 401., so that, if he did not happen to succeed in his search, Mr. Thacker would in all probability have raised a row about being plun dered of much more property than had been in the house at all. The LORD MAYOR —What sort of a fellow could the broker have been to neglect the business he was sent to do ?—lnspectof Waller said, certainly a man with very little brains, for he was induced by the journeymen of Mr. Thacker to go to a house at the West-end of the town on Saturday night for the pur pose of hearing a " slap-up" song, and while he was enjoying himself the mischief was done. John S. Wintertiood, agent to Mr. Gadsden, produced an inventory of goods which he had seized in Mr. Thacker's house for rent due to the landlord. He left a man named Montague Billing in possession, after he executed the warrant, and he had never be fore known the man to forget his duty. Billing said he had been put in possession on Thursday, and he remained in the house till Saturday evening, when George Sutton told him of a first-rate crack song at the Grapes public-house in Compton street, and prevailed upon him to go there and enjoy the treat. He locked the door and left all safe, as he thought. Between twelve and one o'clock on Satur day night, he and Sutton returned to the city, but the latter slipped away, and witness, at a very late hour, found that all the goods had disappeared. Miss Susan Elley, whose family resided next door to Mr. Thacker's house, stated, that at about half-past eleven o'clock on Saturday, the prisoner F e lth am knocked at th e d oor , and asked to be accommodated with the hall-door key, which happened to fit the lock of Mr. Thacker's shop. As witness knew him to be one of Mr. Thacker's journeymen, and suspected no thing whatever, she handed the key to him, and he went in. It was clearly proved that Thacker and Mrs. Sutton were aware of the transaction. A gentleman o f th e bar attended upon the part of the prisoners, and submitted that what had taken place did not at all amount to felony ; or if there had been evidence to prove that a felony was committed there was no ground for chargin g Mr. Thacker, whose property th e goo d s were. In fact, the whole transac tion arose from the misconduct of the man in pos session, who ought never to have quitted the premises until the debt was satisfied, and who the moment he left the house gave up the landlord's claim and autho rity. It was quite impossible that a man could be charged with having been a party to a burglary in his own house, and therefore Mr. Thacker ought at once to be dischanged. The LORD MAYOR begged to be allowed to enter tain a very different opinion on the subject. The man in possession had been enticed away from the house, on which occasion he had betrayed great weakness, and during his absence the house was robbed. It was quite evident that Mr. Thacker connived at the busi ness. The goods which were taken away were not his, for they were seized for rent. The next door neighbour o' Mr. Thacker said he heard that person some time before the affair occurred declare be should not be surprised if his house were some night broken open and plundered of his goods. The LORD MAYOR said it was very probable if the Inspector had not followed up this case with judg ment and energy, Mr. Thacker would have made up a forcible story aginst others for the commission of a robbery to which he was himself a party. His LORDSHIP then said he would admit all the de fendants to bail with the exception of Teltlitim, who had removed the goods. BOW-STREET. BLASPHEMOUS PUBLICATIONS.- Thomas Patterson, a bookseller, residing in H o ly we ll- s t reet, S trand, was summoned before Mr. Hall, for exposing to view a certain profane paper, on Wednesday the 30th ult. Mr. Thomas, the barrister, conducted the defence, and contended that the Act of Parliament was enacted merely to prevent persons carrying boards about the streets, on which were engraved prophane and blas phemous writings, likely to attract a crowd and ob struct the _thoroughfares, and that a man's shop window could not be considered a thoroughfare. He was, moreover, of opinion that a Police Magistrate had no jurisdiction in such cases. Mr. HALL said that he .apprehended the Act was not necessarily confined to the public streets, and a man had no right to expose anything blasphemous in his window; for he might thereby attract quite as large a crowd as any one with a placard on the foot way pavement or in the carriage road. He was of opinion that he had jurisdiction, and therefore ordered the case to proceed. Sergeant Kerr, F 12, was then sworn, and said, I was on duty on Wednesday the 30th ult. in Holywell street, and seeing a great crowd outside the defendant's window, I crossed over to see what it was about. I then noticed in the window a profane paper, in writing, of which this is a copy. Witness was about to read a paper he held in his hand, when he was stopped by. Mr. Thomas, who asked him what paper that was ? Kerr—lt is a copy of the paper I saw in Mr. Patterson's window. Mr. Thomas—Did you make it on the spot ? Wit ness—l made a copy in pencil, and wrote it out fair after I got home. Mr. Thomas contended that this paper could no be read. LLOYD'S SHIPPING. I MELANCHOLY ACclDO t rr- b o f the/ Rev.
