In the flight, great numbers were sabred by Human's cavalry, and a body that had taken shel tera in the village of Seydoo, was surrounded,` and entirely destroyed. The Afghans lost eight pieces of artil-: lery, and about 100 swivels, and their camp was plunder.. ed by the victors.. Is was not known in what direction • the chiefs had fled ; it was, however, thought probable that the enemy would - not be able to make head against the RAJA H's troops, the dispersion having been complete. The date of these advi►es from the Punjaub is to the beginning of March. At tbis time RUNJIT Sing was at Lahore, in 11l health, and consequently unable, to his great regret, to take the field. The French officers had - been ordered, after the battle, to proceed towards Peshawar, and to take pus "'ion of the citadel; but it was thought the timely sub mission of YAR `MONA:II3IED would cause a suspension of hostilities. The Government at Calcutta, with the view of removing some portion of the odium which had attached among the native merchants to the introduction of the Stamp Act, had mad e p u bli c a n otification, by which receipts for money not exceeding fifty rupees, and . bills of ex change d r a w n more than one hundred miles from, and not negotiated in Calcutta, are to be exempted from the duty. The petition of the merchants against the stamp tax had been presented to the Government, and had been met by a very temperate . and concili atory reply, in which, however, the legality of the i m p ost i s very strenuously de fended. .:Ebe subscribers .to the petition had subsequently met, and had resolved on s en di ng i n a new representation, praying a suspension 01 the tax pending a memorial to Parliament. It appears by the most recent accounts from Rangoon, that the surrender of the Taliens under the treaty between the English and the f!.urmese, had led to a series of the most . atrocious reta li atory cruelt i es on t h e part of the Furmese, for the conduct of the Taliens during the war. Numbers of th em were put to death daily, by public executions; and parties of Burmese had been sent out to massacre thosb-who es cape d i nto the j ungles, w i t h or d ers to spare neither men, women, nor children. Two Bur mese Chiefs had even proceeded to Amherst, to demand from Sir A. Calireuxr.t the surrender of some mho had taken refuge under the English flag. These cruelties, as might be expected, were exciting resistance, and a•Chief, named °GEN A, bad assembled a large force, in the hope of revenging the death of hie countrymen.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. !afore the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, and a Common Jury.) SC,ALKS V. PICKERING - AND OTHERS. This case, which occupied the Court during the greater part of yesterday, was resumed this morning. It was '.an action of trespass brought 4gaitiAt the East. London Water Works Com pany, to determine 'their right to enter upon any private lands for the purpose of laying down water pipes, provided there was a footpath across those grounds. The plaintiff occupies some fields at Oldford. The de fendants laid down a number of pipes in these fields, acting, as they insisted, under the authority of a clause in the Ad constituting the Company, which empowers them, their agents or servants, to dig and break up the soil and pave• went of any roads, highways, footways, commons, streets, and other public places, adjacent to the , parishes which the Company intended to supply with water:" doing as little damage as may be in the execution of the powers granted, and making full satisfaction for any damage thereby occasioned." Under this clause the defendants had carried their pipes s through the plaintiff"; fields, and some of the witnesses proved that the pipes rose in, the line of the footway, passing over the grounds ; others stated that the pipes deviated from the pathway at one point, so as to do great and unnecessary damage to the plaintiff's pre mises ; and the plaintiff contended, that even if it should be held that the Company had the right which they, alleged, still the 201. tendered as a satisfaction for this damage was an inadequate compensation. In a subsequent part of the Act of Parliament obtained by the Company, it wag expressly enacted, that they should not make'" any aqueduct or other works, or enter into orlipon the pri ,vate lands and grounds of any person or persons, as upoil 'comm . = or common lands, without the consent of the owner or owners, or of the Lord of the Manor ;" and on behalf of the plaintiff it was contended that this clause de stroyed the pretended right of the defendants, even though there should, as in the present instance, be a footpath across the fields. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE observed that the defendants had certainly claimed. very extensive powers, and if the parties consented, he would give them his opinion, and en deavour to give the Act of Parliament that interpretation which justice demanded. This suggestion wai consented to by the Counsel on both si&s. The LORD CHIEF.JUSTICE was of opinion that the Com pany had exceeded the powers granted to them by the Legislature. The .Tury found their verdict accordingly, subject to a reference as to. the amount of damages, in case it should be eventually decided by the Court that the ♦erdict ought to stand. If, on the other hand, the Court should differ from his Lordship's view, a new trial will be had. PUBLIC SALES-(THIS DAY.) , BY MESSRS. ROBINS, AT THE MART.

A certain spruce Chief Constable of Police was present. He was laced and stayed with so much exactness, that be might have served as a show-man to the most fashionable shop in Bond-street. But not content with torturing his poor fragile body into the most unmanly of shapes, his face•was actually seen blushing be neath an inconceivable load of ill-disposed rouge ! The thing was palpable to nearly every one present. A charm ing witty girl archly directed the attention of a magistrate to the puling, fainting constable ; observing, " Sir, I de sire you to lake notice, that there is a party man. Do your duty, Sir." " How is that, Madam?" replied the Justice; "he is in the uniform of his Majesty lie a party man --he is a 'Chief Constable of Police."--." Yes, Sir," replied the fair critic ;—" but don't you Perceive that lie is parading under false colours !"—Leinster Journal. T , BREECHES VERSUS TROW SERS. -- Breeches are much bett er th an trowsers : the very general adoption of trowsers, by almost all ranks and of all ages, has often excited my astonishment. Before the present time, they were exclusively used by the lords of the ocean ; but how ever convenient trowsers may be to the sailor, who has to cling to slippery shrouds,—for the landsman " who lives at home at ease," nothing can be more inconvenient; they are heating in summer, and in winter, are collectors of mud.—Dr. Kitchener's Hints to Travellers. Sir HERBERT TAYLOR transacted business yesterday at the Colonial-eftiee. THEATRES. DRURY LANE. For several days past the _public curiosity had been much excited to witness'the promised appear ance of a star in the dramatic world, and last night the promise was fulfilled at this theatre in the person of Mr. Kean, jun., second son of the great tragic actor. It was his first appearance on any stage, and the interest was accordingly the more intense. The house, iwhich bad been retouched in some slight particulars during the recess, 11,'es crowded to the ceiling long before the curtain rose—indeed, we never remember to have witnessed it: so crowded before. It was certainly a novel sight to be hold the first appearance of the son of the first actor of the day, ambitious to tread in the footsteps of his father, and the enthusiasm of the public was commensurate to the occasion. When the curtain rose, " God save the King" was sung with peculiar effect. • The tragedy of Douglas was very judiciously se lected for. introducing the young debutant to the •publie. Such was the anxiety or curiosity' to witness the hero of the night, that although it was well known he could not appear till the second act, yet every now and , then, a" busy Whisper spread—" here he comes," .and the appear ance of each perforiner was greeted with a prelude of the happy welcome, but half reserved for young Kean. The first act went off with less expedition than the audience could desire, but the opening of the second presented the young stranger to their sight. His reception was most flattering. He stepped fur, ward, .and then stood palpitating under the excess of tumultuous feelings, and scarcely able to make's second return to.the overwhelming heartiness of the welcome which rung from all parts of the house. Indeed, so . deep; 'were his emotions, that the heave and swell of his bosom were apparent, for some minutes, as he stood in breathless gratitude before' the immense concourse of living joy. It was a moment of touching sensibility, deeply cal culated to elevate the mind, while it transported the imagination. The young actor owned its force by his trepidation, and he 'leant for support on his sword. The first, few lines which Norval had to utter produced little effect, till he came We fought and conquered," which were given with a modest confidence, that told well, but the effect of the whole, Speech was rather tame.--When he came to thank Lord 'Randolph for his courtesy, the confidence which he; felt that Nor Val never would shame his favour, was well delivered, and as well received ; but immediately afterwards, when informed how the chosen warriors of his native land, were languishing for the fight, lie uttered, " let us begone, my lord," with an abrupt ness too unexpected, and not in keeping with the rest of the scene. His appearance is pleasing, perfectly gentlemanly,—slender form,—rather taller than his father, and altogether like him at a distance : but the similarity fades on closer inspection. He possesses the voice,. but not the powerful eye of his father. He wants the animation, the pathos,—and natural bursts Of' feeling for which Mr. Kean is so eminently conspicuous, that he may be said • !‘ To ride the whirlwind and direct the storm". of dramatic passion.. But it is not fair to measure the young sapling by the gigantic dimensions of the monarch oak. His resemblance to his father was rendered more palpable by the studied imitation of his manner, which struck us repeatedly both, in his enunciation and his action. The delivery of hew he learned the art of war was passable—" the lengthen'd line" was artfully prolonged, and had a good effect. But he was not equally happy in the recognition scene ; he seemed to' want the deep feeling and mysterious wonderment breaking on his mind, as he doubts and believes for the first time that his mother addresses him in a station so far above his lowly rank.—" Lady, who am I then ?" —was too hurried- 7 k wanted 'pathos, without which, the sympathy of the audience is destroyed. —His interview with Glenalvon was more happy, as was also, " The blood of Douglas will protect it self." His port and demeanor were not sufficiently haughty for the. " scorn" which Norval feels for Glenalvon, but the conclusion of his threat was happily given, and " I know thee well" produced very great applause, as forcibly imi tative of his father's manner. :The fifth acts .opens with the wood scene, which he delivered in a very easy and graceful manner, as if he felt the in fluence of the " fanning" breath of applause, which cheered him on. The death-scene was rather too long ; when he rushes in wounded to de fend his mother, the position was exquisitely beautiful, but he had rather far to go across the stage. His dying speech was too Monotonous—in fact lie had too much to say in such a trying situa tion; but he fell " like Douglas," and was much plauded. His voice was occasionally too harsh, and the transition from one tone to another more abrupt than judicious. But be is young. It is too much to expect, excellence all at once. He must go circuit before he can hope to be quite at honte •on a London stage. AbOve all, he must feel more, and act less, to awaken the strong sympathy which keeps up the illusion of the scene. Mrs. West played Lady Randolph well; and Mr. Cooper did justice to Old Norval, but forgot the old man had tra ' veiled too far to be so strong on his legs. He was rather loud. Wallack, as Glenalvon, was spirited— and a Mr. Mnde made his debut as Randolph with good effect. When the curtain fell, young Kean was loudly called for, and appeared. The play was announced again for Thursday amidst loud applause. COVENT GARDEN. Tbis theatre opened last night with Shakes peare's impressive tragedy of Julius Caesar. Mr. Young was the Brutus; Mr. - C. Ketrible the Mail; and Mr. Warde the Cassius of the evening. first w e can s p ea k i n t er m s o f almost un qualifiedAonftotinie y . ; praise. In age, manner, costume, high bearing, and calm philosophic mode of utterance, he is just what we could conceive this "last of all the Romans" to have been. The few tender touches of nature,• where the philosopher is losk in the man, more especially that alrectiug adieu to Cassius - " our everlasting parting take, For ever, and for ever farewell, Cassius— lost nothing of its pathos Mr. Young's hands. He seemed, indeed, throughout, like one standing on, the very verge of the isthmus which separates this world from the next, and to look back, but for an instant, with the resistless yearnings of a man, while the serious and impassioned thoughts of the philosopher were bent upon eternity. Mr. Kemble with more of stilted,. more of poetic majesty about his Brains, had infinite less tenderness and sober dignity. He was too much of an abstraction, however imaginative; consequently, we could not sympathize with him in the same way as we can with Mr. Young'. The CaSsius of Wade was testy,' choleric, and so forth, but very deficient in dignity; our recollec tions of this warrior beginning at a very early age, are.all of a high order, we think of him As a noble — though perhaps " a nervous" Roman—to bor row the phrase of the d ay —and cannot bear - to see him degraded into a peevish hypochondriac, Mr. Ward should read Plutarch, or even Shakes peare's Julius Caesar 'attentively. Of Charles Kimble 's Mark Antony, a character which plays irzelf, we would wish to think well, but till he divests it of his present intolerable: and' affected Whine, we can say nothing : , -fal;oUrable. Mr. Egerton, as the : ghost of Julius. Caesar, exhi bited a very Unimpressive display of corpulence : it is,only an alderman that would think of estimating a spectre like a prize ox, by the pound : the majority are more discriminating; he should therefore gn in training for the part. The rest of the perforMers went through their characters with more or less respectability, and the curtain fell amid applause from all parts of - the house. Little or no alteration has taken place in the theatre during the recess. • ADELPHI THEATRE. The little Theatre at . the, Adelphi; like the rival Goliahs of -Drury-lane and Covent-garden, was last night thrown open to the.public for the winter sea son. During the recess the house has undergone a variety of alterations and embellishments, which not only improve its, appearance, but afford a consi derable increase of accornodatien to the audience.— As to the bill of fare last night, Terry and Yates, like discreet cooks, did not seek to excite our pa lates by novelties, but contented themselves wit% serving up a variety of dishes of known and approved excellence. The first piece was Luke the Labourer, which introduced to .the Lon don audience a • debutante from Brighton, in the character of Clara. This young lady haS a small but agreeable figure and features, rather pleasing ; added to which, she is by no means deficient in self-possession and knowledge of stage effect; but notwithstanding theSe advantages, and allowing for all the difficulties of a first attempt on the London boards, justice to Miss Taylor; calls upon us to add, that there is ample room for improvement, and she must - forgive us when we remind her that those who breathe the foggy. atmosphere of this world of brict and mortar, are by no means so amiable, good natured, and readily pleased, as the folk who inhale health and sea- air on the Steyne at Brighton. Mr. Buckstone, from the Coburg Theatre; also made his debut, and we are glad to have an opportunity of seeing him removed to a sphere where his peculiar vein of comic talent will'be fairly appreciated. Mrs. Yates, freni Drury-lane, also made her first appear ance at this Theatre, in the.lively interlude, entitled " 23, John-street, Adelphi ;" and a more valuable addition could scarcely be :made to the Dramatis Persona. ,of any Theatre, than is to be found in the person of this accomplished actress. A new French Ballet, which went off admiral - Ay well, furnished t'he sauce ijiquantelo an entertainment which concluded with the farce of Quadrupeds, in which the burles que . extravagance of Yates and John Reeve set gravity at defiance. The house was tolerably well attended, and novelties are said to be in : preparation, which give promise of a most successful' season. MR. KEAN, JUNIOR. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT IN THE MORNING HERALD.) The new Douglas is the second son of Mr. Kean; that tragedian's first son died very young. Such first son was, a great favourite with the father, and was considered very clever. The second son (and only remaining child) also showed early promise of talent, and was -then with the father a : good deal ; but his humour, activity, and drollery were such, that his ' father was wont to say he would be " a second Gri maldi7--if any thing." After some preliminary edu eationi he was sent to Eton, where he made tolerable progress; but the Ip:other is understood to have main tained chief control (as indeed she had long done at home) touching, the youth's education, as well as other domestic affairs. At home, in truth, Mr. Kean .never. had much voice; and the influence of the mother with the son, as against the father, is said to be tolerably predominant, even at the preSent mo ment. It has been said that the father's wishes were itot too strongly in favour of the son adopting the stage as a profession ; and either in obedience to such wishes, or out of compliment to some of the party, a cadet-ship for the East Indies was 'prof fered to the young Etonian. , The kind feeling of Mr. Calcraft chiefly, if not wholly, secured this proffer. , It ,was declined, the son observing that he would try the stage,--that his father might have been Wealthy, had he chosen (hi would have pos sessed little short of 80 or 100,000/. at the present moment, had he been prudent), and that he (the son) would therefore, having a " call " that way, try his fate on the boards. The son's inclinations are decidedly in favour of the stage ; and thds, as in the instance of Grimaldi, continuing the talent to the third generation. Mr Kean's father and uncle (Moses Kean) were fond of the stage, and celebrated mimics. The secret of a son of Mr. Kean having rehearsed at Drury-lane 'Theatre for more than six weeks, was tolerably well kept; with the exception, of some of Mr. Price's very particular friends, no body knew any thing about the circumstance; and even some performers, who saw the youth rehear sing, and who, knew the father well, did not re cognise the young man. The Manager never hinted 'at uny.such affair; indeed, to divert the scent, he talked of enormous proffers made to distinguished ladies, &c. to return to the stage; or to appear at Drury ; but the matter would have been much more complete, had the secret continued to be kept till after the first night—had it not been made known who the " amateur " was till after the first ap pearance. S • THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON. NEVS'CASTLE-UPON-TYNE, SEPT. 29, The great theme of conversation here at present, is the very gracious and condescending demeanour of the Duke of Wellington, to all who have the honour of access to him. At the grand ball given by the Marchioness of Londonderry, at Wynyard-park, the other evening, his Grace literally charmed the whole company, by that affable, polite, and .unconstrained carriage, which in our intercourse with society so powerfully gains upon the heart ; but more particularly so when:the relative rank of the parties may be Said to differ so widely. Most men, in.the abstract, admit the force of Lord Chesterfield's reasoning, but they have not all the necessary philosophy to act up to his precepts. But to return :—Amongst other gentle Men who had the o r o iinra ni t ceo u i oo f ounf b tt, e i: i he n al e g lerne7 p atn r di e tiy s n e Fg n au t od e sfyi d iete ri t e, t o : se Grace a i ld tsror,:eiregiment asee sns t t l NefvDlL, Captainocu Londonderry's d e oi Lotn fdgoggan, fo s welt known was very much engaged in most of the great battle,, during the PeniusUlar War. Captain Loggan was imme diately recOnized by the Noble Duke. Grace shook hands with 'him in' the most cordial manner, and entered into,a conversation which lasted some minutes. Captain, Chipchase, of Durham, who also shared the glory of serving in the army under the Duke's command, was i like manner h onoure d b y his Grace's notice the sad'',sa d'',eve ning.

Nothing satisfactory can be announced as to the Levanters, one, it is reported, hav ing departed for Germany, and the other• for " the land of song."

Duncombe, Col. Russell, Messrs. Aubrey, Irby, Mills, and some other members. The at tendance ofthe betting men is numerous, but their expec tations that some of those who have not yet shown at Tattersall's would meet their St. Leger engagements here, have as yet been disappointed, the parties having been to. much fatigued at Doncaster to be enabled to get thei, boots on. Some hopes, however, are entertained for to morrow, when the settling for to-day's races takes place. Contrary to our expectation, the weather was very fa vourable, and thashow of general company was, in conse quence, more numerous than, limn the scanty appear ance, had entitled us to anticipate.

The Third Report of the Emigration Com mittee. has just been published, and some idea may he formed of , the zeal' and labour which it exercised on the part of those who framed it, from the fact of this final report, with the evi dence and appendix, constituting a folio volume of between 600 and 70D pages. Sufficient is known of the general proceedings of the Com mittee, and of the opinions of its most effective members, to let the- public already understand that there exists in the minds of those gentlemen a strong persuasion of the necessity of removing gradually, by systematic means, a portion of the pauper inhabitants of the United Kingdom to some of our Colonial possessions. To recom mend such a project, certain facts must be as sumed as 'demonstrable :-Ist, That there does actually exist in Great' Britain and Ireland .a large'class of'able-bodied men, with their fami lies, for whom, generally speaking, no profitable employment can be found. 2d, That there can not be procured at home any unoccupied land, on the produce of which these idle paupers could be subsisted by their own industry, more amply than by transporting them across the sea. 3d, That the expellee of transporting and of settling them would not be equal to that of supporting them at home, whether by poor-rates or front private charity. And, 4th, That the paupers themselves, wretched as is their present condi tion, would not be *exposed to the chances of a life still more preCarious and miserable, by the change which is now suggested. ' We have often expressed a conscientious distrust of the sound ness of the emigrationiproject, as applied to the relief of the British and Irish poor ; or, speaking more correctly, as resorted to for a remedy to the evils afflicting the community at large, from their presence,. their wretchedness, and their ap parently progressive increase. But it is in the very calmest and most dispassionate temper, that a subject of such infinite importance ought to be approached ; and we are far from insisting that the Committee have made no case in relation to the four requisites above enumerated, or that no evidence and no reasonings are contained. in their voluminous work now published, of a nature to de mand the deepest consideration from all humane and reflecting minds. There is a question, however, which seems to have escaped the Com mittee, and which, though introduced in this notice but as supplementary•to other views of the scheine, must be looked upon as bearing most directly and powerfully on its claims to ultimate adoption,—namely, whether, i£ the object be to open fresh views of subsistence for the poor, and to diminish the cost of maintaining them, it would not be a more economical and less uncertain plan, to avail ourselves of the fertile soils, the redundant produce, and the cheaper markets of European countries con tiguous to our door, the corn . of which is now withheld by an atrocious law from the mouths of a population confessed officially to be staroing, before we try the more adventurous and doubtful, though in the end perhaps unavoidable, experi ment of a wholesale freightage of the hungry mul titudes to' North America, the Cape, or New South Wales. This inuendo we suggest re spectfully to Mr. Wilmot Horton, as one which may not be altogether unworthy his attention, seeing that here the necessary consequence of a reduced price of bread would be an extension of labour ; an enlarged employment of the idle and destitute being the very thing which he requires. It by no means follows that a cheap atquisition of corn from the continent, or a plantation of some of the fat bogs of Ireland, now said to be waste and unproductive, will finally exempt the Legislature from the obligation of executing the project which forms the chief subject of this report ; but it may be fair to try first the easier and the simpler method, that if tha bolster and more complex should hereafter fail, no 'party concerned in preparing it may be liable to just animadversion. The mind of the country cannot at once be made up upon the details of this pro posed measure. So-far as we can judge, they have been well considered; and of the principle of emigration nothing more can be said, than that the removal of the people, being that of the heart's blood of a community, is, and ought to be considered, a pis aller. Mere shall insert in to morrow's paper some able and interesting pasiages from the report ; and, if opportunity permits, may afterwards add portions of the evidence,. Times. We mentioned yesterday, that we could dis cover no authority for the statement in an even ksaisdsoronh, a a d s b t e o en th r e e p ce o n li t c ly y c o o f n w su it i h te d d ra hj in M g t r ite ri p u r s i: even ing paper of Saturday,- that a n E ng li s h Ambas sador enjoyed " by English merchants resident in foreign countries." The Ambassador here alluded to is Sir William A'Court, our Minister at Lisbon, and the " foreign countries" mean, of course, only Portugal. Our commercial treaty in force with that Power, by which the privileges of Ettg lishmen were constituted, or rather continued, was concluded at Rio de Janeiro in 1810; and ,—an arrauge although it was to be perpetual as a bond of friendship and alliance - between the countries, its stipulations were, by an article of the treaty itself, liable to revision and alteration on the ex.. pressed wish of the contracting parties at the end p m r a o n v y isi a o l i t l e s ra r t e i m oi a ls in of 15 years. These 15 years expired. in Feb., w th i e ll 1825, and the Portuguese Government then gave notice, that it was desirous to take advantage of i t n h e e n above in th e clause,framtion framing revise thewhich e h British s l t t: till anew arrangement is made ,--an mpranbabtilmy time all its as (particu larly with respect to the oppressiv e of the monopoly and usurped privileges Oporto Wine Com pany). as may balance those expected by the most sanguine Portuguese Statesmen. But this is not the time to think of resettling or altering our rela-re lions with Portugal. For the last 12 or 14 Months the Ministers of that unfortunate country have had other business to attend to; and at the present moment it can scarcely be said to have a Government, or at least it has no Government with which any permanent or systematic arrange ment can • be made. With whom, for instance, could . Sir William A'Court hare entered into any negotiation ?—with General Saldanh , ' 44, who (though a good o ffi cer) probably ',eve r read a treaty in his life-time—with his neph ew, Count da Ponte, the Captain of Dragoon s , w h o, besides m anoeuvring his troop and managing t h e Princess, held two portfolios, without knowing any thing of either ; or with the p resent pos sessor of office, whose reign may be ended be fore the arrival of next packet ? And *f i no negotiation for permanent objects can now be carried on, why would Mr. H us k. isson request our Ambassador to harass the merchants of Lis bon with questions of privileges on which their opinion could not for an instant be doubted ? Respecting these privileges, as established by previous conventions and renewed the in treaty of 1810, some of our contemporaries, who spe c/11w pi the aubject -
