INDIAN NEWS. BENGAL. ADDITION TO THE INDIAN ARMY.—The following extract from the Calcutta Government Gazette Extra indicates the intention of Government to - inake - a much more substantial addition to the Indian army than that intimated in . the proclamation noticed in our last. There are seventy-four regular regiments in the Bengal army. A company added to each will be a virtual augmentation of nearly 8,000 men. The addition in Bombay will amount to 2,600 ; that of Madras, s,4oo—the total augmentation to 16,000 men. This is reckoned an economical method of increasing the army as compared with an increase of the number of regiments. It saves European officers, but it makes a regiment of 1,200 strong a most unwieldy mass of men. We axe already short of European officers. In 15 royal regiments now in Bengal, there are 580 officers; in 9 1 cavalry and in fantry, and 10 battalions of artillery—equal to 101 regiments of Company's troops--there are 1,500 offi .ders ; nearly 40 to each Queens regiment, and 15 for each one of the Company's; or, in fact, the officers i n the Queen's, as compared with those in the Company's regiments, are nearly as three to one. FORT WILLIAM, FEB. 5. No. 32 of 1842.—The Right Hon. the Governor- General of India in Council has been pleased to resolve, that a tenth company of the present strength shall, be added to each native infantry regiment of the line of t:ie Bengal, Madras, and Bombay armies. The necessary communication has been made to the Governments of Madras and Bombay, and his Excel lency the Commander-in-Chief in India has been requested to issue such orders as may be necessary for giving effect at this Presidency to the resolution of Government. • J. STUART, Lieut.-Col., • Secretary to the Government of India, Military Department. MADRAS. By this morning's tappal we have received the fol ' lowing letter from a correspondent at Secunderabad, dated the 10th instant : " The 10th regiment native infantry arrived here on _the 2d instant, and occupied the quarters on the left of the Bowenpilly road on the sth. The 25th regiment native infantry marched hence on the morn ing of the sth instant, en route to Cuddanah. " Pay was drawn for the 7th regiment N. I. on the 4th, and the bad effects of the ill-judged and nar row-minded policy of the Supreme Government were immediately perceived in the refusal of the troops to receive pay without batta 1 I cannot describe to you the feelings which pervaded all ranks of society in the cantonment on the sth, (and also up to the present time) when the truth had spread abroad of the 7th N. I. refusing to a man to receive their pay (excepting, of course, the native commissioned, non-commissioned naigues, drum and lance naigues) who in every corps see the wisdom, nay, the neces sity, of accepting their pay quietly as good' and , faithful soldiers. The 7th N. I. on the sth, having positively refused to receive pay, the circumstance was immediately reported to the Acting Adjutant- General, Captain Grant, who proceeded to their bar racks, and with great difficulty succeeded in getting them to take their pay. " This corps was ordered to parade in heavy march ing order on th e morn i ng o f th e 7th b y their Com manding Officer, but refused to turn out on the bugles being sounded for their assembly. This resolu tion, it appears, was made known by the men on the previous evening, and which was accordingly re ported to the authorities. .On the morning of the 7th, Major-General Fraser and Brigadier Riddell, at tended by the whole of the staff, proceeded to the barracks of that corps and got the men assembled in close columns ; they were asked by the Major-Gene ral two or three times whether they would return to their duty, when they all replied that they wer e willing to do duty provided they got their batta ; till the batta was given to them they would attend no more parades for drill, &c., but only do general and regimental duties. The services of the Lambs were in requisition for them, who did not approach to them, though ready to act if called upon. The Gene ral and Brigadier and staff, after dismissing the 7th N. 1., proceeded, about half-past eight, A,M., to the barracks of the 48th native infantry, who were then under arms awaiting their arrival, the corps - having been previously out in heavy marching orddr. The corps (right wing) was ordered to be formed in close column of companies, when the Major-General passed round and then addressed them through Cap tain Grant, Acting Adjutant-General. After express ing the Major-General's displeasure at their conduct against the 7th N. I. (which that corps, it would appear, complained about to the General of having -received abuse from them, though the complaint was more imaginable than real, and exaggerated in all their variations of relating it), he trusted that there would be no recurrence of the subject; should there be any, that he would place sentries all round their lines, and not let even a child out, and that every .• hour there should be roll call for them ; also pro bably that they would draw pay this day or to morrow (the Bth), and, when issued to them, they were to receive it, and s h ou ld th ey refuse, that he would get every one of them discharged the service; but after having taken their pay quietly, he had no objection to any proper representation being made of any real or supposed grievance they laboured under— that the, General never heard of such a thing as mutiny' in the Madras forces. About nine, A.M. the Gener a l p rocee d e d from thence to the barracks of the 32d NJ., who were also under arms awaiting his arrival. After addressing them, they were a s k e d whether they wou ld not receive their pay ; they one and all (excepting the ranks above stated, as in the 7th N. 1., in which the musicians are to be in cluded) declared that they would not receive pay without batta.' There seemed to be great con fusion and noise among them for some time. Silence was ordered by the Assistant Adjutant- General, who again addressed them by order of the Major-General, and said that all those who were will ing to take their pay were to go on one side, and those who declined to *tend still. On this the native com missioned, non-commissioned, naigues, drummers, lance naigues, and private musicians fell out, and by strong persuasion a very few privates (about twenty) also fell out; but the remaining men were inflexible in their refusal —every endeavour to bring them to terms was tried, but in vain, when a staff officer was sent off to bring two companies of the Lambs, and an artillery officer for the artillery. Previous to the arrival of the Lambs, the men were ordered to ground arms, which they did, and shouted loudly, " Dheen, dheen ;" they were ordered to face to the right and march, when they again shouted, " Dheen, dheen.'"The men who consented to take their pay were paraded in line on their right flank ; the arms, &c., were put in the barracks ; afterwards they were ordered to take off their accoutrements, which they did, and which were also put in the barracks and locked up. The Lambs having come up and halted in a street in rear of the barracks, were ,ordered to march and form round them, when they called out " kill-kill maurrow-maurrow." The whole of the men, amount ing then to 280, (but since increased to about 360), were marched off to the vacant barracks known as the 21st to the left of the arsenal, and are kept there in confinement, under a guard of the Lambs, fol whose accommodation tents have been pitched. The Gene ral, Sr.c., proceeded home a little after 10 A.M. " In the course of the morning, I heard that the 4th light cavalry had also told their officers that they would not on any account receive their pay without batta. In the evening two or three companies of the Lambs proceeded to Bowenpilly, and also the artillery, with the General, Brigadier, and staff, but the whole returned after three P.M., their visit proving unsuc cesful in bringing them .to terms. It appears also that the men pelted the officers out of the lines with currycombs and brushes. The next morning (Tues day the Bth) the General and staff proceeded again to Bowenpilly, and directed the cavalry to prepare to march on the following morning out of the Nizam's dominions, which they agreed to do, provided they got pay and batta for the period they were in Secunder abad, and a month's pay and batta in advance ; and still not succeeding in quieting them, four companies of the Lambs were ordered down, and also part of the European native foot artillery, and a troop of horse artillery, about 10 A.M. This corps, perhaps one of the best of the mounted arm, turned quite refractory (with the exception of the native commis sioned, non-commissioned, naigues, trumpeters, &c., and eleven troopers, - who consented to receive their pay without batta) and severely ill-treated one of their European officers, the junior Adjutant, and a trooper (one of the eleven that agreed to take his pay), who was obliged to be sent to hospital immediately. They had possession of their arms, and were in a state of open mutiny; the ar tillery foimed close upon them with their guns loaded with canister grape,, and the Lambs with charged bayonet. They were directed to ground arms, which they refused to do, when the Lambs were closing upon i e r n' by degr ees , and the Russell brigade, or zam a lancers, from Bolarum, who had been sent for, came tearing up to their lines ; on perceiving thAn, they threw dow n their ms, which were taken possession of and lodgedar in the arsenal after the affair was ended. On being ordered to march as prisoners to Bolarum, they would not Atir, but were obliged to move on, when the Lambs brought down their Brown Bess to the char ge , and at the point of which they were esco r t e d a short distance and made over to the charge of the Nizam's lancers, who escorted them lo Bolarum, where they are.tiow in confinement. When the Lambs and arta le' proceeded to Bowenpilly on the morning of the BthO t ivo companies of the European regiment with a portien of,the native horse artillery, European and foot . aetiller 3 r were paraded in line in front of the chitech. The European and native commissioned and non - commissioned, naigues, drummers, and musicians of eacireorps were all under arms in their respective barracks ; the guns at the arsenal were manned by the warrant and non-commissioned staff-officers, and I a portion of the native troop horse artillery was also stationed there, every one ready to act if re quired. About two F.M. orders were received that the cavalry were taken prisoners, and for the above parties to withdraw. -I learn also that a native officer of the cavalry, who has two sons among the troopers, 243 in number taken prisoners had also refused to take his pay and had given up his sword. A number of the troopers absconded and are not to be found. Camp equipage, I learn, was prepared, and had in readiness for the 4th light cavalry, 7th and 48th regi ments N. 1., which corps it is in contemplation to remove from this force, but their destination is not known. The General, Brigadier, and staff yesterday morning proceeded t o th e para d e of the 48th regi ment N. 1., who were paraded without arms awaiting their arrival. After addressing them, the men re plied that they would not take their pay without butte, and ordered all those that were willing to take their pay to fall out. A great number fell out of each company, and among those that remained two men who were anxious to speak to the General were called out to the front, which they accordingly did. The General endeavoured to induce them to take their pay ; they positively refused, one of whom was ordered to be confined. He was seized and was taken away a very short distance, when the rest of the men all rushed upon them and rescued him. The Lambs who were ready paraded in the rear of the mess-house of the 48th regiment came up immediately, and formed round them. Eight men were selected out of 134, and sent to the main guard, the remining 126 were marched , to the vacant barracks of the 21st regiment to the left of the arsenal. The men of the 32d and 48th re giments N. I. in confinement have been ordered to march to-morrow morning to Mulkapore, escorted by 300 men of the Ist European regiment with a gun from the horse artillery and one of the Ist battalion artillery, where they are to be made over to the charge of the 25th regiment N. 1., under the command of Major O'Dell. The sth Nizam's horse are to proceed with them to Mulkapore. After leaving duffadar's party with the 25th N.I. they are to re turn. The Ist European regiment only escorted them 'clear out of the cantonments. The 25th regiment N.I. are at present halted at Mulkapore. On the arrival of the prisoners, the corps will march with them, leaving three companies under an experienced officer, therb to await further instruc tions. A European and two native commissioned officers, and four havildars, from each of the above corps, are to accompany the families of the prisoners (for whom carriage has been provided by the Com misiariat department) towards %Varapilly. It is ru moured that these men are to be taken down to Madras, and put on the roads to work. Another rumour is that that the D. troop horse artillery are ordered down from Jaulnah, and one or two troops of the 15th hussars.—Madras Atheneum. INDIA. A private letter received in town from one of the captive officers in India, furnishes the following list of persons who escaped the slaughter at Cabool, and were safe in Fort Buddeeabad, Lughmanee Valley, about 60 miles from Jellalabad, on the 18th January, 1842 Gen.

STATE AND PROSPECTS OF BU SINESS in the UNITED STATES. The following is an extract of a letter from one of the oldest merchants in New York, dated March 15, and received by the Hibernia : " With respect to cotton, I anticipate a further decline in your market, unless the Corn-laws are mo dified so as to meet, in some degree, the wishes of the bulk of your population. I observe that Sir Robert. Peel intends the continuance of the sliding scale, which will keep bread so dear that the people cannot clothe themselves, and, of course cannot pay for the goods they make ; and we cannot sell them, except at a great loss, if they are sent here. The produce of all kinds in the United States is so low in price that it will not pay for transporta tion, and our farmers must make clothing for them selves, which is the case, to a great extent, at present, particularly in the cotton growing States and in the northern sections of the country. There is enough to eat, for a man can earn a bushel of corn for his day's work, and mechanics two bushels ; so they are not likely to starve, as Englishmen are doing, but they have not money to buy clothes, and, therefore, must make them. " I am quite of opinion, that low as the prices of cotton are, it will lose money to ship it to England. " You will be disappointed in the orders for mann ' factured goods from. the United States : they will be much curtailed from want of consumers able to pay for them. Your newspapers say it will not do to sell goods to the Americans, unless they pay for them. We do not want your goods, whcther paid for or not. Englishmen will not trust Americans who wish to pur chase on credit, but, in lieu thereof, send theirgoods out here and sell them at a loss of 25 to 50 per cent. Our mutual friend, D. S., who, you know, lived in Liverpool nearly thirty years, and has a thorough knowledge of manufactured goods, confirms what I have said •as to the loss of 25 to 50 per cent. on imports of new goods ! The reason of this loss is, that our agricultural population are unable to pay for goods, and, therefore, make their own clothi ng . "I well remember when every farmer made his own clothes, and were then independent, and they must do the same again. They own their own farms, ana have scarcely any taxes to pay. " Trade, generally, has been much depressed, and will, I fear, continue so. I anticipate a bad trade al this year, and think that those who will do the leas business will, ultimately, be the better for it.". Liverpool Albion. TURKEY and the HANSE TOWNS. TREATY OF COMMERCE AND NAVIGATION. CONSTANTINOPLE, MARCH 15.—The ratifications of a convention of navigation and commerce, concluded between the Sublime Porte and the free Hanseatic Re publics were exchanged at the Porte, on the 10th instant, by his Excellency Sarim Effendi, Ottoman Minister for Foreign Affairs, and Dr. Colquhoun, Hanseatic Charge d'Affaires, on a special mission. The following is a textual translation of this document. the publication of which cannot fail to be interesting to various States of Germany, that have or have not negotiated commercial treaties with the Sublime Porte "IN THE NAME OF GOD—In order the better to explain the treaty of friendship, commerce, and navi gation, recently concluded between the Sublime Porte and the Senates of the free Hanseatic Republics of Lubeck, Bremen, and Hamburgh, and to regulate the duties payable upon merchandise imported from Turkey as well as that imported into the Sultan's dominions, and in order to establish and consecrate the rights, privileges, immunities, and obligations of 'Hanseatic merchants, traffickin§-, or residing within the limits of the Ottoman Empire, it has been agreed to reg u l a t e , b y special additional Act, the commercial intercourse of their citizens and subjects, with the view of augmenting the trade be tween their respective States, and of facilitating the exchange of the produce of one country for that of the other. They have consequently named for their plenipotentiaries, his Imperial Majesty Abdul Medjid Khan 1., his Excellency Mohamed Sadjk Rifaat Pacha, one of the noble ministers of the exalted mon archy, actually Minister of Foreign Affairs, decorated with the particular insignia (nishan) of his high rank, &c., and the Senate s o f th e f ree republics of Lubeck, Bremen, and Hamburg, each for itself separately, Patrick Colquhoun, LL.D., who after having com municated their respective full powers, found to be in due and proper form, have agreed upon the follow ing articles : Art. 1. All rights, privileges, and immunities which have been conferred upon Hanseatic citizens, subjects, or ships, by treaties already existing, are now and for ever confirmed, excepting such as may be specially modified by the present convention, and it is, moreover, expressly understood that the rights, privileges, immunities, and prerogatives, which the Sublime Porte now grants, or may accord hereafter to the ships or subjects of any foreign power, or which it may permit to be enjoyed by the ships or subjects of any other power, shall be equally granted to Han seatic citizens, subjects, and ships who shall 'possess the rights, exercise, and enjoyment thereof. "Art. 2. The citizens and subjects of the free Hanseatic Republics, or their agents, shall, from this time forth, be at liberty to purch ase , at all plac e s within the Ottoman empire, whether for internal trade or exportation, all articles, without exception, the growth or manufacture of the said empire. " The Sublime Porte formally engages to abolish all monopolies affecting agricultural produce, an d a ll other articles whatsoever within its territory, and likewise to abandon the custom of Teskeres (per mits) de man d e d f rom l oca l Authorities, either for the purpose of merchandise, or for its removal from one place to a no th er w h en purc h ase d . A ny attempt that shall b e made, by any local authority whatev er , t o compel Hanseatic citizens or subjects to provide them selves with such Teskeres, shall be considered as an f i o n r f t r h a c w t toh ly n se o v f er tr e eatie s , and the Sublime Porte s h a ll functionary found punish any Vi z i e r o r other p u bli c . guilty of such i n f rac tion, and th e Sublime Porte shall cause Hanseatic citizens and sub- THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY MORNING, APRIL 7, 1842. " The tariff thus adopted shall remain in force for ne period of seven years from the date of exchanging the. ratifications. At the expiration of this period each of the high contracting parties shall be at liberty to demand a revision of this tariff. But if, within the six months succeeding the expiration of the seven first years, neither one or other should exercise this faculty, the tariff shall continue to have legal force for another seven years, dating from th e d ay w h en t h e f i rst seven years shall have expired, and the same shall be the case at the end of each succeeding period of seven years " Conclusion—The present convention shall be ra tified, and the ratifications shall be exchanged at Con stantinople, within the space of six months, or sooner if possible, and it shall commence to have effect imme diately after the exchange of ratifications. The ten preceding articles having been agreed upon and concluded, the present act has been signed and sealed by us, and has been delivered to the plenipo tmtiary of the Hanse Towns, in exchange for that which he has delivered to us. • " Done at Constantinople this 21 Redjieb, 1257 (Sept. 7, 1841.) Signed " RIFAAT, " P. COLQUHOUN. " Ratified, 26 Moharrem, 1258 (March 10, 1842)." Such are the contents of the Hanseatic treaty, which, it will be seen, is based upon that concluded by Lord Ponsonby in 1838: This convention cannot • fitil to produce a salutary effect upon the commercial interest of northern and central Germany, the greater portion of whose export trade must pass through its natural channels, the Hanse towns. Of the ex tent of this trade, as regards the latter place, some idea may be f orme d f rom the fact that the value ' of the exports and imports of Prussia, passing through the Hanse towns prior to the existence of the Custom's Union, exceeded 49,771,000 rix dollars, or nearly 7i millions sterling. This sum amounting at that pe riod to two-thirds of the total Prussian annual trade, has much increased, and will continue to increase in. proportion to the progress of the Silesian, and Saxon, and Westphalian manufactures. From the number of Georgian and other merchants engaged in the Persian and Levant trade, who fre quent the fairs of Leipsic and the Hanse towns' markets, especially that of Hamburg, combined with various advantages local and administrative, causes the above convention, may be regarded as not less useful to the interior of Germany than it is to the ' ports immediately interested ; and the more so, since the facilities afforded by the cheapness and security of the Hanseatic navigation tend to draw towards them the produce of States which are either devoid of mari time convenience and carriage, or whose ports, like thorn of Prussia, are less favourably situated. Indeed, the convention thus negotiated by the Hanse Towns' charge d'affaires may be said, as regards the States forming part of the German Customs' Union, to be a completion of that of a similar cha racter concluded by Prussia. For the treaty made by the latter, however useful to her subjects per sonally, could only be considered as a dead letter, in a general point of view, until the Hanse towns entered into an arrangement with the Sublime Porte, by which the produce and manufactures of Prussia and the Customs' Union could be exported freely into Turkey. However beneficial the Customs' TJnion may be to internal circulation, yet, with regard to distant countries, and epecially the Levant and Persia, their external trade must chiefly depend upon the assistance of the Hanse towns, their best and natural carriers. Impeded during many months by the ice of the Baltic, and its expenses at all times increased by the Sound dues and length of navigation, Prussia finds herself in a cer tain measure landlocked, and unless she avails herself of the aid of Hamburgh or Bremen, has no eastern channels open to her, save those by the Danube and 'Trieste, rendered tedious and expensive by long and complicated carriage, by transhipments, by Austrian transit duties, and other incidental risks and chal 6rges. The Leipsie Gazette announces that the circulation in Prussia of a French work, recently published in Paris, entitled" Prussia and her political and religious Government," has been prohibited, although not a single copy of that work had yet found its way into Prussia. jects to be indemnified for any loss or vexations which they prove themselves to have suffered thereby. " Art. 3. All Hanseatic merchants, or their agents, who shall prirchase any article whatever, the growth or manufacture of Turkey, with intent to re .sell the same for internal consumption in the Ottoman Em. pire, shall pay, upon the purchase or sale thereof, the same duties that are paid under similar circum stances by Mussulman subjects, or by the most fa voured class of Eayas who may be engaged in in ternal trade. " Art. 4. All articles, being the growth and manu facture of Turkey, bought for exportation, shall be conveyed, free of every cha rge or duty whatever, to a convenient place of shipment ; upon their arrival and entry there, they shall pay a fixed duty of 9 per cent., ad valorem, in lieu of all former duties on in ternal commerce, which are abolished by the present convention. Upon exportation, they shall pay the duty of 3 per cent., as formerly established, and now existing. "It is well understood, however, that all articles purchased for exportation at the place of shipment, and which have already paid the interior duties on entering the same, shall only pay the original import duty of 3 per cent. " Art. 3. All articles being the growth or manu facture of the free Hanseatic Republics, or of States forming part of the Germanic Confederation, and all merchandise whatsoever embarked in Hanseatic ves sels, being the property of Hanseatic citizens or sub jects, or conveyed by land or by sea from other coun tries by the same, shall be admitted as heretofore into all parts of the Ottoman dominions without excep tion, upon the payment of 3 per cent., calculated upon the value of such articles. " And in lieu of all interior duties at present levied upon such produce or manufactures, whether the im porter shall sell them at the place of reception or send them for sale into the interior, he shall pay one fixed additional duty of 2 per cent. If after this such pro duce or merchandise be re-sold in the interior, no fur ther duty shall be demanded of the seller or pur chaser, nor from him who having purchased may de sire to export the same. " All merchandise that shall have paid the old im port duty of 3 per cent. at one port, may be sent to another free of all further duty, and it is only when sold or conveyed thence into the interior, that the ad ditional duty of 2 per cent. shall be paid. "It is always understood that the Governments of the free Hanseatic Republics do not pretend, either by this, or by any other article of the present Con vention, to stipulate for more than the natural and precise construction of the terms employed, nor in any manner to deprive the Government of his Imperial Majesty of the exercise of its rights of in ternal administration, in so far as the exercise of these rights does not manifestly infringe upon the stipulations of the treaty (18th May, 1839), or upon the privileges accorded by the present convention to Hanseatic citizens and subjects, or their property. " Art. 6. All Hanseatic citizens and subjects, or their agents, may freely trade throughout all parts of the Ottoman empire, with merchandize brought from foreign countries ; and if these go7ids shall have paid upon entry the importation duty, Hanseatic merchants, or their agents, shall have the faculty of trading with the same upon paying the additional duty of 2 per cent., to which they shall be subjected, upon goods that they themselves may have imported for sale, or for transmission with the intention of selling them •in the interior. This pay ment being once made, the merchandise shall be free from all further duties, no matter what may be its ul terior destination. " Art. 7. No duties whatever shall be levied on passing the Straits of the Dardanelles, Bosphorus, and Black Sea, upon Hanseatic merchandise, whether the growth or manufacture of the free Hanseatic re publics, or of states forthing part of the Germanic confederation, or upon merchandise the growth or manufacture of other foreign countries, when these tw o kinds of merch an di se s h a ll b e loaded in Hanseatic vessels, or shall belong to Hanseatic citizen or sub jects, whether such goods shall remain on board the vessels which brought- them, or whether they be transhipped into other vessels, or whether, being in tended for sale elsewhere, they be landed for a limited time, and then shipped into other vessels to continue their voyage. " All merchandise imported into Turkey for the purpose of transmission to other countries, or which, remaining in the ha n d s o f th e importer, shall be trans mitted by him for sale in other countries, shall only pay the first importation duty of 3 per cent., and on no pretext whatever shall he be subjected to any fur ther duty. " Art. 8. The firmans required to be issued to Hanseatic vessels, on passing the Dardanelles and Bos phorus shall always be delivered to them in such man ner as to occasion the least possible delay. "Art. 9. The Sublime Porte consents to the legis lation established by the present •convention shall have affect throughout all provinces of the Ottoman empire, that is to say, in all the possessions of his Im perial Majesty situated in Europe, in Asia, in Egypt, and in other parts of Africa, belonging to the Sublime Porte, and that it shall be applicable to all classes of Ottoman subjects. " Art. 10. In order to prevent all difficulties and delays in estimating the value of articles imported into Turkey, or exported from the Ottoman dominions by llanseatic citizens or subjects, it has been agreed to adopt, and it is hereby adopted, according to the sti pulations of the present convention, the tariff drawn up in conformity with the stipulations of the English convention, -which fixes the sum, in c o i ns o f th e Sultan, that must be paid as the duty of three per cent. by Hanseatic citizens and subjects, upon the value of all articles of commerce exported or imported by them, as also the fair valuation of the interior duties to which Turkish produce and manufactures, destined for exportation, are subjected by the present convention. OLD COURT. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and the prisoner was ,entenced to 15 years' transportation. William Baker was indicted for embezzling three sums of money, amounting to 121. 95., the property of his employer, Mr. It. Dixon. It appeared from the evidence that the prosecutor, who is a coal merchant, that the prisoner had been in his employ as collecting clerk for about five years. The sums in question were received by him in the course of business, but never ac counted for. It was elicited, upon cross-examination, that the prisoner's defalcations amounted to upwards of 4501., and that the prosecutor had been induced, at the urgent request of the prisoner's friends, to forego the prosecution upon securing security for a portion of the amount embezzled. He applied to the sommiting Magistrates to release the prisoner, but he re fused to comply with the request. A number of witnesses gave the prisoner an excellent cha racter, and proved he had for some time been subject to fits, and was otherwise in a very delicate state of health. The Jury having returned a verdict of Guilty, The RECOICDEK sentenced the prisoner to be transported for the term of seven years, but intimated that such a mitigated sentence was solely in consequence of his bad state of health. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BO TV-STREET. A powerful looking young man, with the appearance of a pugilist, and who gave the name of Samuel Corbet, was charged under the following somewhat suspicious circumstances : James Henry Collin, the complainant, stated that he was a teacher of music. He went to the theatre Saturday night, and afterwards went to a party, which he left at a quarter to two in the morning ; he then went to the Harp public-house, in Rus sell- street, Drury-lane, where several of his friends were in the habit of assembling. When he got there a friend asked him to partake of a glass of ale, and said that he lisd been to the Bank. that day and had drawn a good deal of money. Soon after this some parties in the house begin to push about, and one person wanted to strike witness's friend, who was rather the worse for liquor, and a very quiet, inof fensive man. This excited witness's suspicion, and he thought it his duty to ring the bell for the landlord ; he accordingly proceeded to get on the table for that purpose, when the prisoner at the bar seized him by the leg, and pulling him down, made a snatch at his breast, at an union pin in his stock, which he succeeded in breaking,leaving one pin and the connecting chain only in the stock ; the other part of the pin, which contained a small ruby, was lost. After witness gave the prisoner in charge, the men who were assisting him in assault. ing witness's friend were outside, and said to witness, " You don't mean to press this charge, if you do it will be worse for you," or words to that effect. One of those men he believed was a pugilist, named Jones, residing in the neighbourhood of Cow-cross. A gentleman, named Lee, who happened to be present at the Harp at the time in question, corroborated the complainant's evidence. The prisoner, in defence, stated that he was a baker and a householder, residing in Brunswick-place, Commercial-road. He was a stranger to all the parties at the Harp; but seeing that something wrong was going on, he took hold of the com plainant's leg for his own good, in order to prevent him getting into a disturbance.—The prisoner was committed for trial. UNION-HALL. James Steers, a very powerful man, by trade a master chimney-sweeper, was charged with breaking his wife's jaw, and inflicting other injuries, by which her life is endangered. A policeman produced a medical certificate, stating that the unfortunate woman was in a dangerous state, and therefore unable to attend. He said that the aFsault was committed on the woman by the defendant, who struck her with such violence on the jaw as to fracture the bone, and that while she was lying on the ground he kicked her in a savage manner. The defendant said that his wife irritated him by breaking the windows, and that he struck her, but not with such force' as to hurt her seriously. Mr. COTTINGErA3I said that the certificate produced de scribed the assault as one of a most violent nature. He should take especial care that the injured woman should appear if she recovered, and if the case ended fatally he should certainly commit the defendant for murder.—The defendant was then remanded. MARLBOROUGH -STREET. Fzitti.Ll NEl:sum—A very fashionably dressed female, who gave her name, but refused to give her address, was placed at the bar, charged by police constable, No. 100, of the C division, with being drunk and incapable of taking care of herself, at five o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, in St. James's square, and having caused a crowd o f persons to assem bl e round her, ho were sco ffi ng and deridi ng h er , an d pus hi ng h er about. On being searched at the station-house, a valua ble lady's gold watch, chain, a we ddi ng , an d anot h er finger-ring were found upon h er , an d i n h er purse, which she bad in her hand when the policeman took her in charge, were five sovereigns, one-half sovereign, and 59. in &Dyer. Mr. MA.I.TLY (the presiding Magistrate) asked the defendant in what station of life she was?--The defendant said she must decline answering that question, as other persons might be pre judiced by her so doing. All the information she could give of herself was that she was a married woman, and in a very respec table station of society. She was fined 55., which she paid with alacrity, and left the office. Richard Wainwright, a young man, was charged as follows: Police constable No. 26, of the A division, stated that at the close of the Opera on Tuesday night, he saw prisoner in c om p an y with another man, bustling about amongst the crowd under the Opera Colonade, in the Haymarket. Suspecting they were nick-pockets, he followed them for some time, and at length . saw the prisoner attempt to take a handkerchief that was partly hanging out of a gentleman' s p oc k e t. Wi tness puided forward to secure him in the act; he perceiving this, instantly desisted, and was running off when witness secured him ; his companion, however, got off. Mr. M A LT BY a s ked if the prisoner was known, and having received an answer in the negative, admonished the prisoner as to his future conduct, and discharged him. David Renton, a corporal in the 72d Regiment of High landers, was charged on suspicion of stealing a silver watch,' a silver guard-chain, and a gold watch key, o f th e va l ue o f 51., the prope r ty o f Alexander M'Kinnon, a private in the same regiment. The prosecutor stated that he came on Monday last from Windsor with the prisoner and others of the regiment, who are about proceeding to Scotland to recruit. The prisoner and himself were quartered at a house, the sign of the St. George and the Dragon, but where it was situate, he (the prosecutor) could not recollect. He got very tipsy that night, and was taken up to bed by the prisoner, and in the morning he missed his watch. Th e pr i soner had been absent during the night from his quarters. Prosecutor had since seen the watch key in pledge at a pawbroker's, and the prisoner was described as the party pledging it. Mr. MALTBY said, there was no legal evidence against the prisoner, but for his character's sake he would send for the party in question. The pawnbroker was accordingly sent for, and his shopman came in his place, who stated thatle came from Mr. Aldous's shop is Berwick-street. He identified the prisoner as the per son who had pawned the watch. The prisoner asserted that Mr. Aldhous's shopman was mistaken, but the Magistrate thought otherwise, and committed him for trial. GREENWICH. Thomas E. Gillett and others. owners of the Watermers's Pier, appeared before Mr. Jeremy . in answer to summonses charging them with wilfully damaging certain cables or haw sers, value 71., the property of Sir R. Dobson and others. Mr. Carttar, the Coroner, appeared for the complainants, and Mr. Newbon, the solicitor, Wardrobe-place, Doctors'. commons, for the defendants. Mr. Carttar stated that on Saturday morning last, between five and six o'clock, a person named George Dudley, agreeably to instructions received from Sir Richard Dobson and Dr. Sutton (who are owners of a public-house called the Salute. tion, and six cottages adjoining), broug . ht down from Deptford a caisson for the purpose of placing it in front of the 'premises beforenamed. It was towed by a steamer ealled the Pilot, to which a barge was also attached. The whole was secured together by ropes and chains. When off Garden-stairs, at high tide, they stopped the steamer in order to haul the caisson and lighter in front of the Salutation. At this time 12 water men came out to the steamer and got on board, and with axes which they brought for the purpose, cut the hawsers. The ropes were new, and the damage thereby amounted to 71. 103. Mr. JEREMY said, if this were a case involving the supposed right of parties, his jurisdiction was taken away. No persons had any power to intrude on property in derogation of a public right. You, Mr. Carttar, claim for your clients a right which the opposite side deny you have any claim to. Damage done under a supposed right is not in the eye of the law con sidered either as wilful or malicious, but if under a colourable right, it would be different. I consider that I have no right to interfere, and that the ease ought to be tried in the regular manner. Mr. Carttar apprehended that the assertion ought to be proved that the watermen had the right which they had alleged, and contended that the defence was a mere colourah e one. Mr. JEREMY said, according to your own showing, Mr. Carttar, you have a stone pier on the one side, and wished to . place a caisson on the other, by which means you would com ! pletely block up the parish stairs, and which you have no right to do. Why do you nut bring an action against the watermen if their pier is an infringement ? Mr. Carttar—We have nothing but shadows to fight against. The watermen committed the act, viz., cut their connecting ropes before they knew whether the caisson was going to Gravesend, or where it was intended to be placed, and con tended, therefore, it was wilful damage. Mr. JEREMY—Suppose a man's neighbour has ascertained that his property is about to be trespassed upon, he has a LAW INTELLIGENCE. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, April 6. _ (Before Mr. Commissioner . HARRIS. ) The Court was occupied during the morning in hearing applications for bail, of which th ere were s i xteen town cases and thirteen country. The great er p or ti on o f t h em were dis posed of, but not the slightest f ea t ure o f genera l i nterest was elicited during any of the hearings. CRIMINAL COURT, YESTERDAY (Before Mr. Justice CoutauxiEanYlllr. Justice Easicnix.) Richard Bates, aged 40, draper, was indicted for feloniously sending a letter to William Henry Caulin, threatening to ac • cuse him of an infamous crime, with intent to extort the sum of 101. The facts of the case appeared in The Sun at the time the case was investigated before the Magistrates at Guildhall. A letter had been received by the prosecutor, threatening him with the indictment charged. The writer directed in the letter that an answer sheuld be returned, addressed to the Post-office, 55, High-street, Borough. The reply was sent as directed. The prisoner called for it, and was immediately given in custody, the Postmaster having previously been di rected to do so. A witness was called, who proved that the threatening letter was in the handwriting of the prisoner. The prisoner in his defence said that he had been requested by a person to call for the letter, but he did not know where the person was at the time he called for the letter. He was totally ignorant of its contents. • The Learned Juno having summed up the evidence, the Jury found the prisoner Guilty Mr. Justice LRSKIN E , in passing sentence, said the offence of which the prisoner had been found guilty was one- that, for the good of the whole public, should be repressed, and as the best means of doing so, it was necessary to inflict the severest penalty allowed by law. The sentence was, that the prisoner be transported beyond the seas for the term oftwenty-one years. William Clark, 23, was convicted for burglary in the dwel ling-house of Mr. John Tribe, and stealing therefrom a large quantity of plate, wearing apparel, &c. It appeared the house of the prosecutor, which is situale in the neighbourhood of the Edgeware• road, was broken open during the night of Good Friday, and the articles in question carried away. The entry was effected by breaking out one of the pane's of the backdoor. The plate was locked up in a chest which was also broken open. On the same morning, early, a constable, of the name of Walton, met the prisoner a short distance from the prosecutor's premises. At that time he was carrying a large bundle, and upon being asked what the bundle contained, he said they were a quan tity of old boots which he was taking to be repaired. The constable, perceiving that the prisoner's pockets appeared ♦ery bulky, thought all was not right, and therefore took him iuto custody; and upon being searched at the station-house, a quantity of boots, a pair of candlesticks, a silver goblet, and a quantity of wearing apparel, was found in the bundle ; and in his pockets, a quantity of silver spoons and forks, all of which were identified by the prosecutor. A vast quantity of other property, which bad also been stolen from the prosecutor's, was subsequently found in a ditch at the back of the prosecutor's premises. 1,600 1/.

Mr. Carttar regretted that Mr. Jeremy could not interfere and put a stop to the matter by this day's proceedings; how ever, the result would be that they were determined to take the waterrnen's pier away by force.—( Cries of " Shame.") Mr. JEREMY—You must not use violence, you must do it by legal means. You object to the floating pier, and by your own showing want to put down a caisson in its place ; the motive is obvious.

NAVAL MOVEMENTS. The only arrival we have had during the past week is the Cambridge ship of the line, on the 20th, from Gibraltar, last from Tarragona (in six daysN from which latter port she has brought the masts, spars, iron ballast, and sundry stores, be longing to the Tribune, wrecked there some time ago. The departures consist only of the Daphne corvette on the 20th, and the Benbow ship of the line on the 21st, both for England, and the Vesuvius steamer of war, also on the 21st, for Barce lona, where it is reported a large French naval force has ar rived. The Benbow, after getting ab ou t s i x m il es out to sea. shortened sa il, th en furled all her canvass (the wind being light from the N. W. ), crossed yards, and passed a hawser to the Vesuvius, which towed her out of sight of the island. The Tunisian corvettes Delaliah and Meshoud, which put in here through stress of weathet on the 17th instant, bound from Tunis to Constantinople, remain in port, the former having knocked away her rudder in coming to anchor. The Meshoud is said to be a present to the Sultan from the Bey of Tunis, and she is reported to have also a large sum of specie on hoard. The Circassian yacht, belonging to Mr. W. Lyon, sailed the 2ad instant. The Neapolitan steam-packet Francesco Imo arrived on the 28th from Naples and Sicily, and left again on her return the 22d inst. The French steam-packet Rhamses, from the Levant, arrived early this morning. On the 2d inst one of the heaviest gales this winter was expel ienced at Bea rout. ; the Alexandria packei-schooner Emmetje and an English mer chant brig rode it out off the town. The Inconstant was at Beyrout on the 4th inst., the Hecate at Jaffa, the Weazle on the northern coast of Syria, whence the Savage is on her way to Malta. The Cyclops arrived at Beyrout on the 2d inst., left again on the sth, and arrived at Alexandria on the 7th inst. The Medea left the Pirmus for Rhodes on the Bth inst. The Ori ental contract steam-ship is hourly looked for from Alexandria ; on her arrival the Alecto will be despatched to Marseilles with the overland India and China mail for En;land. The Prometheus, from Gibraltar, with the London mail, was due on the 28th ult., and the Iberia, from the lonian Islands and Greece, to-morrow. The Magicienne was lying at Suda on the 14th inst. The Aigle, which left Smyrna for Vourla on the 14th, re turned to Smyrna on the 18th inst. The four Prench sail of the line, Ville de Marseille; Ge mappe, Friedland, and Genereux, sailed from Smyrna for Toulon on the 17th inst. Admiral Lasusse, in the Santi Petri, with the Calypso frigate, Diligente corvette, Fleche brig, and Acheron steamer, remained at Smyrna on the 19th inst. The Austrian frigate Venere, with the flag of Admiral Ban diera, was to leave Smyrna on th e 19 t h i nst., for a cruise in the Archipelago. A repot; is current that the number of British ships of the line on this station is to be continued on its present footing of ten (including the Queen three-decker hourly looked for from England); but 'one, and perhaps a frigate likewise, will in all probability be stationed on the south coast of Spain. Another ship of the line will be stationed at Corfu, and anothe r i n th e Adriatic. The Monarch will rem a i n at the Piraeus, and the rest will most likely proceed to Vourla, but all will depend on the instructions of the Admiralty to the new Commander-in- Chief, Sir Edward Owen. ELECTION COMMITTEES. WIGAN. The Committee met at the usual hour. The CHAIRMAN announced that the Committee had decided that the vote of James Haig, which had been yesterday ob jected to by the Counsel for the sitting Member, was a good vote. gel The vote •f Wm. Harrison was next objected to by the Counsel for the sitting Member, on the ground of insufficiency of value. A valuator rated the premises at 71., but the Counsel for the petitioners produced a receipt, showing that the voter had paid a rent of JO/. a-year. The premises had been valued at 10/. by a valuator called by Counsel for the petitioners. The Committee, after deliberating for some time, decided that the vote was a good one. The vote of John Coyle was then objected to by Counsel for the sitting Members, on the ground of insufficiency of value. The case was not decided on at the rsing of the Committee! at a few minutes before four o'clock. GREAT —A A. MARLOW AND BIELCOMBE REGIS. The Committee met yesterday morning at 11. The proceedings commenced with an argument by Mr. Serjeant WAANGLIADI against the vote of Charles Gibbons, to which he had objected on the part of the petitioners. The Committee, after a long deliberation, decided that the vote was a good one. The vote of James Povey was then objected to by Counsel, for ten petitioners, on the ground that he had been bribed to vote for the sitting Member. It appeared that Povey was a butcher in Marlow. Mr. Rodd stated, that he had canvassed the voter for Messrs.. Williams and Hampden, when he declined to make any promise, adding that others were making money by their,votes, and he did not see why ho should not be paid for his. The witness called at the house of Povey on a subsequent day, when he was told by the man's wife that others had been tam pering with her husband, and that he had been promised to be rewarded if he voted for Sir W. Clayton. Mr. Caldcott, another witness, stated that he had also been canvassing for Messrs. Williams and Hampden ; the wife of Povey had asked him for 2.5/. for her husband's vote, which she said they would take in stock. The wife afterwards stated that her husband had been offered his choice of a portion of 158 sheep, on condition that he should vote for Sir Wm. Clayton. The witness further deposed to the apparently improved circumstances of Pevey since the election. The investigation into the vote was not concluded when th e Committee ro e. The sitting Members still continue in a majority of one. ENGLISH TOMBS IN CHINA. —On the northern side of the island of Koolongsoo, opposite to Amoy. are two tombs of brickwork, supporting stone slab 3 placed horizontally, bear ing the following inscriptions :—l st. "• Here lyeth the body of Captain Stephen Balc , r, who commanded the Success, who d i es bas t bee Octu un ber, 1700, aged 49 years." Th e masonry of is has n disturbed, and is in pr eservation perfect . 2d. " Here lyeth the body of John Dvffill, son of Henry DOBII, commander of the Turnbull, who died, wt. 13 years, 1698." The bricks have sunk down on one side, and the slab has de clined with them. There is also an upright stone, bearing an Canto inscripntion Press. Portuguese, surmounted by three crosses.— A letter from Salamanca gives an account of a man, named Adan, native of Zaffra, in the province of Cuenza, who, from his prodigious strength, is called the second Sampson. A short time ago-he undertook to draw to a certain distance a cart with a load in it, equalling 10,000 lbs., and would have accom plished his task, but from some men on the cart standing up to see so how h.cserio worked. • They ove r b a l ance d the vehicle, and by its fall usly injured the leg of the modern Sampson, that he has ever since been confined in the hospital. An inhabitant of Lyons, named Caille, who died lately, has, by will, left 300,000 fr. to the charitable establish ments of that city LORD JOHN RUSSELL'S OPPO- On Thursday evenir.g, on the bringing up of the . Report of the Income Tax Resolution, Lord John Russell. it is now un derstood, will move a series of seven resolutioth, condemnatory of the proposed measure. The first and second state the ex isting " deficiency of income to meet the expenditure of the country," and the readiness of the House to adopt measures for averting the same in future years. The third and fourth resolutions assert the beneficial tendency of the reduction of the duty on corn, and other articles of consumption (as pro posed by the late Government) ; and that trade would be pro• moted by the repeal or reduction of various prohibitory and differential duties. The fifth states the amount of taxes taken off or reduced since the last war down to 1836 (exclusive of the income tax) to he aboOt 23,873,0001. ; and the sixth reso lution gives a brief history of the income tax, and of its being repealed on the establishment of peace. The seventh, last., and most important resolution, is as follows:—" That, con sidering the various means of supplying the present deficiency, without enhancing the price of the necessaries of life, or em barrassing trade, it is the opinion of this House that the renewal of a tax, inquisitorial in its character, unequal in its pressure, and which ha s hith er t o b een cons id ere d as the financial reserve of the nation in time of war, is not called for by public ne cessity, and is therefore not advisable." ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORFOLK ClRCUlT—Nortvich, April 4. Coow N COURT—( Before Sir. Sergeant ATCHER LEY. Mary Harrell, aged 25, was indicted for stealing a quantity of wine, tea, sugar, candles, silk, eggs, and various other arti cles, the property of John Brereton, her master. The prosecutor, who is a merchant at Blakeney, had in his cellar, amongst other wines, some very curious and rare sherry, and on examining his cellar-book a few days since, he had rea son to suspect that it went faster than it ought to do, or than his own consumption wallowed. The lock of the door was not broken, nor was there any mark of violence having been used on any part of it ; but it appeared that the prosecutor's cellar key was kept with many others, in the key basket, which, during the day, was accessible to all the ser vants in lhe house. No suspicion at this time existed against either of the servants, but the prosecutor, on going into the female servants' room, saw no fewer than 11 poxes belonging to the prisoner. He therefore sent for a policeman, who opened the boxes, of which the prisoner pro • duced the keys, and the inside revealed to the astonished eyes of the prosecutor the goods mentioned in the indictment, con sisting of port, sherry, and Marsala wines, tea, sugar, cmdles, eggs, and silk, and all sorts of property. Some of the missing sherry was identified by a particular mark on the corks, and the rest of the articles were of the same description as those in use in the prosecutor's house. 111 r. J. Gay, a county magistrate, in whose service the pri soner had formerly lived, gave her an excellent character for honesty. He had, he said, the misfortune to meet with an accident, which threatened his life, while she was in his service, and to her faithful attention and exemplary conduct, he owed the being alive to ,peak on her behalf in her own hour of peril. The prisoner was found Guilty. The Learned JUDGE, in passing sentence, remarked on the necessity of protecting society against the robbery of masters by their servants. Had it not been for the excellent charac ter she had received, he should have undoubtedly felt it his duty to have transported her; but in the hope that she would regain the character she had for the present lost, and become a useful member of society, he would pass on her the lenient sen tence of twelve months' imprisonment, with hard labour. Samuel Barrett was indicted for stealing one gun, the pro pe t.y of Mesehack Hogg. The case was clearly proved, and the prosecutor, a rare spe cimen of No r f o lk s t u pidi ty , en b e i ng asked of what value the gun was, answered " A matter of 35." The Learned Judge asked what manner of gun it was that was worth 35.? And the witness said, " It wasn't a gun to go off; it was one they put up as a scare-crow to 'fright the buds (birds); they didn't know it would riot go off." NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
