:~ ram announced to me officially, as I may term it, on the Ist of November, that we could not go on. On the evening of the 3d of November (the same day the French goods came in), we made a sale of French shawls to Martin, Abbott, and Co.. of Aldermanbury, I think to th:yawount of 9061. Lilo not think there was a great loss. It might have been 10 or liff per cent. We were paid the following day. That sale was not entered at the time in the books, nor the receipt of the cash, and the proceeds were appropriated in the same way as the money - received from Messrs. Cowper. We had, three months prior to our stoppage, made breed sales in the way to meet our inpi - lents. I recoll;et a sale we made to,SpenCe and Baggeley about September 12th, to 1113 extent_.of about 2,0001. We had orders from the connting-house, when we were pressed for payments, and hence it was that we were obliged to absorb the stock in _ _ proportion to meet them. 3fr. Pryce Mottram bought goods after he made the communication to me on the IA of November. At these times, when we divided the , . money, as stated, the amount was entered, but not as we received it. Other entries were substituted, instead of the lumping sums, falsely stating what the money was . .opropriated for. Mr. Mottram and myself did that in Mottram's private counting-house. The disburse ment of the money I received will be shown in my cor rected private balance-sheet, part of which I have handed over to the official assignees, viz. 2001. The bankrupt Williams, in answer to further ques tions said, that with respect to the execution put in 4,-; Mr. Moore, Mr. Mottram's father-in-law, he heard Mr. Mottram say, « Now, Sir, you must never allow that this was concocted between us, but you must say that you came into the City and heard accidentally that we ‘vere in difficulties, and then went to your solicitor and entered up the bond." That was the first time I ever beard of a bond being in existence, for you will under stand it was a matter of disenssion when woo first [Vera partnership, whether any one of us had given a bond, and it was said not. Mr. Muttram, who had been reading his depositions during the examination of Williams, said that Mr. Wil liams had in his evidence called to his (Mr. Mottram's) mind that he had received money from Parr, who had been paid by Lewis and Allenby. He admitted it sub t:equently, and wished his deposition to so accord. Mr. Commissioner EVANS told Mottram there was Still time for him to make a full and true disclosure, and he hoped on Thursday, to which day he should adjourn the case, he would do so. lie could not but say that the affair of the salary-book pressed much on his mind ; it was quite absurd to speak of the amounts of the ex penses as 21,000/. The examination was then adjourned, it being after four o'clock. The total of debts proved up to the present date is 77,7171. 18s. 3d, and the assets realized up ` to the date of the audit, the 23d of March, 7,8271. ss. 3d. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Ap il 23. The Court was occupied during the morning in hear ing applica,iona for bail, of which there were ten town eases and four country. Most of the bail were allowed to justify. and in none of them was there the slightest feature of general interest. . POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILD HALL. Robert Hambling, a fine-looking young man, and one of the sergeants in the City police-force, was brought before Mr. Alderman Farebrother, to answer a charge of. felony committed by him when in the execution of his duty. Mr. Humphreys attended as solicitor for the prisoner; and Mr. Martin, of the City Solicitor's-office, for the prosecution. The charge against the prisoner was for stealing a !old pencil-ease, theproperty of Mr. W. Hunter, a gen tleman living at Greerm ich. 4 .The prosecutor stated that in January last, he hav ing reason to suspect that property of a valuable kind was concealed in the house of a Mr. Smith, at Brcmley Middlesex, he employed the prisoner to search th,,.:‘ premises, and this was done by hi m , i n the presence of witness and Mr. Shaw, his attorney. Several trunks were opened, and various articles of plate, jewellery, apparel, and other property, were therein found, of which Mr. Shaw took a list. The list (produced) did not con thin a gold pencil-case, nor did he see such article during the search. He had seen it since, it being traced to a pawnbroker's at Somers'-town. By Mr. liumphreys—Mr. Shaw, myself, and tweipolice raf.a, went to the house, but only the prisoner was pre s, ;:t at the search. Did not give charge of Smith for I :.aling • the property, but having a guilty possession of it. ;It came, out indirectly that Mr. Smith carried away :Mrs. accom Hunter fro:n her h us b and and house, nod his flight was panied or followed by sundry boxes of vain ablo property.] Mr. Humphreys said, it would bo necessary to call firs. hunter, but he would abstain, as much as possible, from putting questions which would recall an unhappy occurrence. Mrs. Francei Hunter. • years of age, s a ta g ed e7te t e i l l ! t y t lres . sed woman, abimit 22 Mi. Hunter. She was at Broailev gall o n the i wife °I.

Mr. Sniith was not present at the search. . that out to pay debts I owed, principally private debt and for housekeeping. I drew that sum on the Ist, 2d, and 3d of November, to pay my private debts; Mr. Commissioner Evassg—Did you ever draw out so. large a sum before ? that is the question. The bank rupt—Never before. • Mr: Commissioner EVANS—Then why did you do it on the pr esent occas i on ? The bankrupt-1 knew I owed private debts, and saw my difficulty on the 3d of the month, which was the reason why I did it. Mr. Commissioner Evaxs—Did you think you would - be a bankrupt ? The bankrupt—l did not, Sir. In con tinuation, to answers put by Mr. Maynard, he said— . I made a payment on or about the 2d or 3d of November, Of 258/. 1 ls., a bill of George Austin, of Gloucester street, Queen-square, which he had accommodated me with. The bill was not then due, but would be due in January ; it was an accommodation acceptance of Austin to us. I gave the money to my brother, Mr. Pryce Mottram. I have charged myself individually with that 258/. 1 Is., but it is not included in the 1,3001. A clerk of our house took the bill up s ,. I made a pay ment to Turner and Hensman about this .period, .No vember 2, of 1,0001. on account of loans to our firm on the 9th and 14th of October. The receipt of those loans were not entered in the cash-book at the time ; they were . in the banker's book ; in fact, the - money was paid into the banker's. Made a payment to Messrs. Bennett about that time. We gave •him 184/. 6s. 3d. in bills. Ile did not show us the bills. On the 4th of November I paid • • Mr. Richardson 1861. Gs. 9d., for services and balance of account, which appears in our books. The accounts I have put in to-day will show howl disposed of the 1,300/. The state of our accounts with Turner and Hensman is, that we now-owe them 1,123/. 12s. 3d., a cash account, independent of charges for costs, &c. They have secu rity for it. Mr. Commissioner EVANS—You say here in your • separate balance-sheet, that from December to the pre sent time you have been living at the rate of 2001. a-year out of the money you have pocketed from your creditors. The bankrupt Charles Mottram—Yes ; but I had 14 • children to support ; they could not starve. Mr. Commissioner EVANS said, that was always the plea ; there was no necessity for it, if the bankrupt had conducted himself' properly. The bankrupt Ch ar l es M ottram said, the assignees would not allow him a farthiwr Mr. Commissioner EvastsAlthough this may be the case, you ought not to support your family at the expense of your creditors. Mr. Maynard said,' the assignees could not in justice to themselves allow the bankrupt anything, his conduct as a tradesman had been so disgraceful. When he came end represented that he had not a shilling, he must have had the money in his pocket at the very moment. The bankrupt Charles Mottram, examined by Mr. Maynard.—l do not recollect a sale to Lewis and Allenby • in the n.onta of November, nor the receipt of the. money. • • Mr. Maynard—This transaction .does not appear in the books, either in the shape of a sale or a receipt for Money. The bankrupt Williams examined.—l sold the goods, inn I never received the money. I have heard of this .subject liefore. . Mr. Maynard—Prom whom ? The bankrupt Wil iams—From Mottram ; he told me he received the money rem Parr. (Murmurs ran through the Court.) The bankrupt Williams (addressing the Commis sioner)—You see, Sir, I am here in a very painful situa tion; I must either disprove what my partner has already • testified, or stand a perjured man before you. • Mr. COlllilliSSlOZier EVANS—It is so; but you must du your duty to yourself, the Court, and the public. The bankrupt Charles Mottram, recalled—l do now recollect the sale to Lewis and Allenby. The money went into the counting-house. It was the sum of 2'1., but was not entered in the books. It forms no part, to the best of my belief, of the monks I dre' out. Mr. Commissioner EVANS—Do you think that is th e only omission? The bankrupt—l - believe it to be so. Mr. Commissioner Evaass told the bankrupt hcswould have to give credit for it. The whole case was one of a most outrageous character. Here were they charging 21,500/. expenses, 7,400/. for their own expenses ' while • their profit,: were only 5,783/. If there was any further concealment, they had better at once disclose it. The bankrupt 'Williams (examined by Mr. Maynard) —I recollect the sale of goods to Messrs. Cowper. Mr. _Mottram returned on the morning of the 27th, the day fbe goods were sold, from Manchester, and he was pre s ent at the time of the sale. They were sold for 5 56/. 17s. I think there was a loss upon them of 15 to ' 3 O per cent., but I cannot state. exactly. Th e y were %ammo kins of goods. On the 27th of October I know ante credit was gone in the French market, we having received a letter on the 22d, stating that goods which I had purchased would not be sent. That letter, I believe, -was destroyed. Mottram was present when that •letter was destroyed. The money for the goods sold to Cowpers was received on that day or the "lbllowing morning. The sale of those goods was not entered in our book. 'rho reason why the entry was not made was because Mr. Mottram and myself divided the money. I mean we divided the identical money. On the Ist of. November I knew our firm would not continue its payments. I received goods which I had purchased in Paris on the 3d of November.

There were no cases brought before the Court on Saturday possessing the slightest interest. UNION-HALL. Sarah Dowdell, the wife of a master butcher, residing at No. 5, Exeter- street, Great Dover-road, was brought before Mr. Cottingttam, charged with wilfully throwing a quantity of vitriol in her husband's -face, and inflicting such injuries as to deprive him wholly of the sight of one eye, and partially of the other. The outrage was perpe trated last month, since which period the unfortunate complainant has been an inmate of Guy's Hospital, and was unable to attend this Court until yesterday. The complainant was brought from the Hospital in . a coach, and supported into the Court by two policemen., He ap peared to be still suffering severely from the effects of the dreadful nature of the outrage committed upon him. His face was swollen and inflamed from the corrosive liquid, and both his eyes were closed, and the sight of one, if not both, destroyed. His general health also appeared to be affected, being naturally a stout man : he had be come a mere skeleton. The complainant, on being sworn, stated that the pri soner was his wile, and that they were married two years ago, but not agreeing, they separated about three months ago, since which period he had been paying her a weekly allowance. After they had been apart one month, she came to him and wished him to take her home again, which he refused, and she went away; but she came repeatedly to his shop afterwards, and annoyed him in his business. On Easter Sunday he sent herthe usual allowance, and the same night at ten o'clock, while he was sitting in his parlour, he heard a knock at the shutters, and went to the door and saw his wife, who exclaimed, " Be careful, or you \via repent this, for I will have my revenge." Ho made her no answer, and she went away; and the same night, about a quarter to eleven o'clock, he went to the Bull public-house, near his residence, and saw his wife walking backwards and for wards on the Opposite side of the way. When he came out of the house, the prisoner came up to him at the door and asked him if he would stand some gin; he made her no reply, but walked towards home, and in a moment after wards, she being close at his side, he observed her draw something from underneath her cloak resembling a hason and throw the contents full in his face, exclaiming at the time, " This is what I have long wished for; now I've got my revenge." The moment the liquor was dashed in his face he felt the most agonizing torture, particularly as a portion of it had entered his eyes, and in the height of pain he called out that his wife h a d destroyed him, when a policeman came up and supported him back to the Bull public-house, from whence he was conveyed to Guy's Hospital, where he had remained ever since. He added, that when his wife had committed the outrage.she ran away.. Wood, a policeman, stated, that he apprehended the prisoner on the preceding night, near the Bull, the scene of the outrage. He told her that she must go to the station-house, and she expressed her readiness, saying, that she was quite ready, for she had been in hell for the last two years, and that he could not take her to a worse hell than she had been to. As they were going along, she said sh e h a d grea t cause f or ac ti ng in t h e manner she had done towards her husband. She, how ever, expressed no regret or contrition for the act, even when informed that her husband's sight was destroyed. Mr. Pope, a surgeon of Guy's Hospital, described the serious nature of the injuries inflicted on the complain ant owing to a quantity of vitriol being flung into his face. That the sight of one eye was entirely gone, the organ being completely burnt out of the socket, and that it was a matter of chance if ever he received the sight of the other. Mr. COTTIMGHA3I characterised the offence as one of the most fiendish description, and that instead of the person who committed it evincing any contrition at seeing a husband deprived of one of the greatest of God's blessing, his sight, by her hand, she, on the con trary, manifested no concern about it. She was then committed for trial. LIST of SCOTTISH COMPANIES' PRICES APRIL 20, 1842. BAN KS. , i nro,ooo , 81, p. ct. Bank ot Scotland —B3l. 6s. Eid. sb . all pd 152 8,000,0001 Cl. p. ct.

IN SPAlN.—Cadiz notthe only town in Spain suffering from the extraordinary season. Letters from Xeres and Seville represent an equally lamentable state of things there, and in the surrounding country. It: consequence OF the severe and drying north winds, and the frost, which has been of almost unprecedented severity in that climate, water and p rov i s i ons have failed, and the vines and olives, and crops of ba rley, beans, and other grain, are almost entirely cut off, and the great mass of labourers are thrown out of employment. Public prayers, for relief from these calamities, have been put up in the churches of all the three towns. Many of the people, i in their superstition, attribute the infliction to the differences with the Pope, a s Vi car-Cieneral of Christ. 1 On Saturday a mEeting of the Marylebone Vestry took place at the Court house, Marylebone-lane, for the pur pose of considering a motion of which Mr. Tufnell, M.P. for Meoriport, had given notice, to the effect, " That a Committee be appointed to report the number of police stations and policemen employed in the parish, and to ascertain whether the amount levied for the maintenance of the police force is a fair proportion as compared with that levied on othermetropolitan districts."— Mr. Tabrum having been called to the Chair, Mr. H. TUFNELL said, the present subject was one of great importance, inasmuch as, under the present police regulations, the most gross injustice was done to the great metropolitan district of Marylebone. Prior to the introduction of the new police in •1829, the watch of Marylebone consisted of 197 persons, and the expense of their annual maintenance was under 10,0001, and Sir Robert Peel, in his speech of that period, admitted the efficiency, and held up the police of Marylebone as a pattern to all other districts. Indeed, had all other dis tricts been as efficiently watched, there would have been no occasion for the present centralized police s y stem . (Hear, hear.) The number of police in that district consisted of one superintendent, four in spectors, 25 sergeants, 181 constables, and which, were they properly assessed, ought not to cost Marylebone more then 10,7341. annually ; but, in addition to about 6,0001. from the Consolidated Fund, the cost of the police annually amounted to 27,176/. ; therefore, they actually paid for double the amount of the men employed, and for the police employed in other districts.—(Hear, hear.) St. George's, Hanover -square, only paid for police the annual sum of 14,42 E/ ; St. James's had 169 constables, and only paid annually 5,941/—(Shame)—and Maryle bone, for 181 constables, had to pay directly 20,3821., and indirectly 27,1761.—(5hame, shame)—Lambeth, with an area of 3,650 acres, and having 167 constables, only paid 8,282/.; Kensington had 179 constables, and only paid 5,9811.; and the parish of Islington had 578 constables, and;only paid 13,407/ annually—(Cries of " Shame ") and, what was worse, the small parish of St. Paul, Covent-garden, paid but 9871. annually for the support of the police, and bad no less than 139 constables.— (Shame.) He (Mr. Tufnell) did not wish to raise the amount of other districts, but he thought Marylebone ought to be reduced to its fair and proper proportion. He considered the police system as the very worst pos sible system of tyranny, and, unless the Police Commis sioners thought proper to remedy this evil, he should certainly feel it his duty to bring the subject before Par liament. Mr. BIERS sedonded the motion. He knew not whe ther the staff of the police themselves pocketed the sur plus money, but clear it was that that parish were made to pay at the rate of 1001. per year for every policeman, whereas the most the poor fellows got was from 16s. to 11. per week ; and this was paid for a force by far more inefficient than the old watch of that parish. Mr. JOWETT said this was a question at the present time peculiarly worthy of consideration, as regarded the efficiency of a police force, for which not only •Maryle bone but the metropolitan districts were taxed so heavily, and whether the people had a proper and fair return for their money. The events of the last few days had clearly, if any other proof were wanting, demonstrated the fact, that as a detective force the police were wofully deficient.—(Hear, hear.) It was convincing proof that there was something radically wrong in the conduct of a police force that could allow the murderer Good to escape in the way he did, and remain out of the hands ofjustice for fifteen days. Mr. THOMAS, the barrister, rose to order. They had no right to presume the man a murderer until he was tried. Mr. 'TowErr—lt would require all the eloquence the Learned Counsel was possessed of to show that Daniel Good was not, a murderer: He contended, that under the old Bow -street police system, a person would not have been at large as many hours as Good had days ; they had a right, therefore, to inquire into this system. —(Hear, hear.) What had the Police Commissioners been doing with respect to the late murder ? Why, they had absolutely suspended Inspector Tedman, thc most efficient officer of the Marylebone district of police,. be cause he had not apprehended Good in South-street, Manchester-square, upon a description that was no more like the man charged with the murder than he was, and without • ev en t e lli ng th e po li ce t h at Good i re sided n South-street, a fact which was perfectly well known to them through young Oughton, who had been at Good's house, and through Good's son, who had ac tually come from thence.—(Hear.) This showed the inefficiency and the gross partiality that existed in the staff of the police, and the necessity for an alteration. Mr. COCHRANE thought the police ought not to be deemed inefficient from the mere fact that Good, the murderer, had not been apprehended sooner than he was, for, after all, the police had some connexion with his being brought to justice. Mr. JOSEPH said he could speak to the efficiency of Inspector Tedman, for a more active and intelligent officer there was not existing in the police force. It was through him that Courvoisier was brought to justice. The blame was attributable to the superintendent and constables of the V diviiion, i n not g i v i ng a proper de scription of Good's person, and eler•ising more judg ment than they had done.—(Hear, hear.) On the motion being put it was 'unanimously adopted, and ultimately it was agreed to memorialize the Secre tary of State upon the gross injustice that had been done to Inspector Tedman in the case of Good.

(From the Caledonian Mercury.) We have been favoured with the following interesting communication from India, by the kindness of a gentle man resident in this city. It is written by Dr. Harper, 64th Regiment, and dated " Camp, ICuwulnir, Jan. 31, 1842. "My dear Brother,—l wrote to (another bro ther) last month, but God knows if ever it reached him —the safe conveyance of letter's from this place being very uncertain, owing to the very disturbed state of the country. I have just returned from a miraculous escape of being both starved and shot. Ido not suppose that two regiments ever made so narrow an escape ; but I must give you a description of it, that you may be able to understand it. Our brigade arrived here on Christmas day, consisting of four corps, a company of sappers and miners, a company of artillery, and a risallah of local horse ; but we found that the whole country was up in arms against us—that is, through the Khyber Pass, which I dare say you have heard a great deal about. Well, our brigade being totally inadequate to force it, we made up our minds that we would be kept here until another and stronger force joined us, which were on their road through the Penyously. However, one fine even ing, when we were all sitting at mess very comfortably, about eight o'clock P.3t., iu came an order from the secret and political authorities, ordering two corps, viz., ours and the 53d, to get under arms with the least pos sible noise, and march that same evening at ten o'clock r.3t., towards a f'ort called Alli Musjid, situated six& en miles into the Whylia Pass. Never was such a mad project attempted. Thanks to the accursed stupidity of our politicals, even the Khybers themselves did not sup pose that we were such idiots, as was evidently shown by their not having the slightest idea of our intended advance. We marched all night, having had only three shots fired at us, and reached the fort, our place of desti nation, about eight o'clock next morning. By this time the enemy discovered our trick, and began to collect in considerable force. There was some sharp skirmishing. However, we took the fort, having had only twelve men wounded—one officer severely. We got securely into the fort, and crowned all the heights around; so that we were safe enough from the fire of the enemy. But alas ! we found, that we had only four days' provisions. The fort is one of the most miserable places you can imagine. No shelter whatever ; and we were not allowed to take our tents with us—so that the privaticns we suffered were beyond all description. In the first place, we were put on half rations of the very worst kind, and we were obliged to sleep out under the wide canopy of heaven for eight nights, with the rain pouring incessantly on us, and with a temperature below freezing point. The fol lowing morning, after we left this place, the other two regiments, with the artillery, sappers, and miners, &c., attempted to force.the pass to come to our assistance, but the whole country was up in arms, and they were repelled at the very entrance of the pass, with great slaughter. They made the same attempt two or three successive days, but with like ill fortune. Our brigadier and the major of brigade at the very first onset, together with some 15 or 16 officers, and God knows how many men, finding that it was impossible to come to our succour, and knowing that we must be soon starved out, the politicals offered the Khyber chiefs 5,000/. sterling to allow our two corps to return ; but so exasperated were they at the trick we had played them, that they answered " No, .you may give us your money, but we will cut the throats of every one we have secured in the fort." You will see that we were rather in an unpleasant situation. We remained in the fort for nine days, until we had not a single scrap" to eat; and not seeing any assistance coming to our aid, we were compelled to come to the determination of cutting our way back. On the morning of the 25th instant we sallied out, but had not got outside the fort when a volley opened on 113, from whence we knew not, every man behig behind a rock, with aftille in his hand of up wards of six feet in length. Our muskets had not the slightest chance with them. They could knock us over at a distance our musketry had not the slightest chance of reaching. This destructive fire was kept up during the whole of the long march ; and when we had got about half way through the pass, we found it was stopped by a wall of twelve feet high and about ten broad, of blocks of rock intermingled with thorns. Here we were at a stand, with the murderous villains pour ing their unceasing fire on us. We immediately, how ever, got up the sappers and miners, and blew up and pulled down the obstruction. Most fortunately for us, the force that we had left here concluded that we must make the attempt, on that day, to cut our way through, and they made a demonstration at the mouth of the pass, and, entering it, and crowning the heights about the mouth of it, kept up a perpetual fire ; otherwise every man of us must have been massacred. We, however, arrived here about three o'clock, P.M., although with fearful loss. We had in our own corps alone 178 killed and wounded ; the 53d Regiment about as many ; and, I suppose, out of the whole brigade, not less than 600 men, and from 20 to 25 officers killed and wounded. " I was walking at the head of our regiment with the commanding officer, as good a fellow as ever lived—a Scotchman ! (he and I were bosom friends), and Lieu tenant Itattray. The balls were whizzing about us like as many peas—men falling on all sides of us-L -when poor Wilson remarked to me, ' Isn't it wonderful that we three have escaped all these balls so long ? "The words were not well out of his mouth, when a ball struck him on the left breast ant came out at his back-bone. He im mediately fell. I lifted him up, but he never made the slightest attempt to speak, and died almost immediately. I had scarcely ordered him to be carried off, when a ball struck Rattray, entering the fleshy part of his fore• arm, passing through, and it was found the next morning flattened, and deeply imbedded in the hilt of his sword. But for this he must have been shot dead. He is, however, doing Well. But poor Wilson's death is one of a most melancholy description. He had just returned from England with a most beautiful lady --his wife. I delivered her of a son and heir at Feroze- Pore. They were the happiest couple I ever saw. But, poor fellow ! he seemed to have a presentiment that he was to fall. He said to me when we were in the fort, Harper ! if anythinc , happens to me write to my po or , poor wife.' I pretended' to laugh him out of it. He said, I'll do the same for you should anything happen to you.' Poor lady ! what a trial it will be for her when she gets my letter. I think I forgot to mention that we lost all our baggage, horses, &c. They all fell into the hands of the enemy. I lost every article I had with me •, and what I regret most is the loss of two beau tiful Arab horses that I would not have taken 1501. for. Well, here we are waiting for reinforcements, which will striive in a few days, when we are again to attempt to force the pass, although it is the act of madmen to attempt it with any force, as there is no doubt but one thousand determined men could hold it against any force we could bring against them. The most frightful sight throughout the whole day's en gagement was just as we were getting out of the pass, Captain Locke had crowned tokeight with his company, and after getting fairly possession of it, he ordered his men to advance to take another hill. They had not left him one hundred yards, when two or thtee of the enemy rushed in on him. He fired his pistol at one of them, but unfortimat4 missed him. They immediately , car ried him off to a high hill, and, in sight of us all, stripped him naked, and then cut his throat, severed 'lris bead from his body, and carried it away, a very considerable reward being given by tho chiefs for every Faringee (European) head. Of course you have heard of our awful disaster in Caubul. Our army there has been mas sacred almost to a man. God know what steps the Government will take when they hear of it. I suppose I have given you enough of this. I have upwards of 200 patients in the hospital, so that every hour of my time is occupied. Lots of surgical operations to per form. What think you of taking; off five limbs in one day ? lam regularly fagged, and what is worse still, I have pricked the middle finger and thumb of my right hand, so that I am nearly unable to hold the pen, although I have wrote you, such a long letter. lam very uneasy about my fingers, as I am afraid some putrid matter has got into the wound." We learn that the attempt to reduce the hard earn ings of the poor stocking-weavers, at Mansfield, has proved abortive. A public meeting of the trade was called on Monday, w hen the little bag-hosiers' sliding scale " was made known, and entirely disapproved of by the whole assembly. The work men to whom the abatement had been offered were waited upon, and readily agreed to a cessation from labour, until the price they had heretofore received could be obtained. TURKEY. The'following proclamation has been published in the Turk ish in which. the official documents are usually- pro• 1 Mulgated Whereas it is well known, that in conformity with Cie good and proper civil organisation, by the Divine assistance, has been settled and established. Considerable attention has already been devoted to the subject of administration, both civil and financial, through the agency of moos'heers, defter dars, and revenue officers in the respective provinces, and to that of the establishment by every effort of order, which is so desirable in the affairs of the country ; and to the adjustment, during the last year, of means for the regulation of .the taxes —to ensure, for example, the full and punctual payment into the Imperial Treasury of the yearly revenue, and more par ticularly the prevention of loss which occurs in the tithing of produce. Notwithstanding the attention paid to these affairs, the above-mentioned fiscal officers and other functionaries, such as the mohassils and various military authorities of the smaller sandjaks and districts, have, through inexperience in office and want of information, in the first place, been utterly in capable of arranging and administering the finances, and, in the next, frequent altercations having occurred between these two descriptions of officers, they have by no means contri buted to the tranquillity, the maintenance of which is so im portant an object to the faithful subjects of the empire. Now, the thoughts of the most benigranit Emperor (here are sub joined prayers for Isis long life, and three or four lines of com plimentary phrases) being constantly occupied with the welfare of his people, an administration of the country which would be consonant with them must necessarily embrace two 'important considerations, the first being the welfare of the people and the amelioration of their condition ; the second, the protection and defence, according to fixed prin ciples of equity, of all classes of subjects belonging to the well-t:efended empire. But in the collection of tithes, which, being ordained by the law, are a tax everybody is bound cheerfully to contribute, various losses have occurred; inasmuch as the Mehassils have been compelled to employ a number of people at the harvest, the payment of whose wages, with the waste they have occae sioned being taken into account, it is evident that the tithes accruing to the State must have been diminished by a full half. It is moreover manifest that the inhabitants, while wait ing for the collecting officers, cannot remove their crops, and thus, besides losing their time in idleness, are exposed to de triment from the casualties of rain and bad weather; the consequent losses and embarrassments have been intermi nable. All these things considered, and confnrifiably with the spirit of the equitable organisation and the letter of the established regulations, the greatest care must, be taken that violence and oppression be not practised towards the people and subjects of the Ottoman empire ; but, on the contrary, that their welfare become more than ever an object of solicitude. In pursuance of these resolutions, there being among the re spectable families and notables belonging to every district and sandjak many individuals to be found, whose affection for tee place of their birth and residence, must certainly have ren dered them more interested in its prosperity than any others, especially the functionaries who are strangers there ; and such individuals, by being informed themselves, and being able to communicate to the moosheers, defterdars, and employes, what persons in their district are people of means, condition, and substance, and who, on the other hand, are helpless and de serving of succour, may, in this manner, prove the sources of good administration, and the numerous blessings and advantages which contribute to the peace and prosperity of the subjects of the empire—and all arising from the'r emp!oy ment. The choice, therefore, of a director, out from these persons for a district, is a point the arrangement of which has repeatedly occupied the thoughts and attention of the Supreme Council, and the plan has been unanimously approved of. As the financial administration, together with that of the civil and military affairs of the provinces, has been confided to the care of their respective moosheers, the defterdars attached to their suite, as in former times, co-operating with the military authorities stationed in ea c h district, and selecting from the distinguished families of the district a director for it, they shall, agreeably with the above suggestions, undertake the administra tion of these districts; and taking into consideration the trust and confidence reposed in these directors, on all accounts must they so conduct themselves that the ends of justice be tho roughly fulfilled, while the prosperity of their native place, and the attainment of peace and happiness on the part of their fellow countrymen, through their unceasing and restless solicitude and judgment, shall be guaranteed and sealed by their own responsibility in this world and the next. On' the part of their excellencies, the moosheers-defterdars, ahe greatest care, and attention shall be employed to control the caima-cams by all open and secret surveillance, who, on their part 'also, must still more scrupulously retrain fi om being any way guilty of oppressing the country, or of practices in contravention of the laws of equity ; and since those who collect the tithes according as they have been assessed are not invested with power, military or civil, over those districts, and th e i r duty being confined to that collection, for this reason' it has been deemed requisite that the most unremitted attention and solicitude on the part of the moosheers, caima-cams, and moodeers, be exerted to prevent their daring or presuming to oppress in any manner the inhabitants; and all business and affairs that may occur in the different sandjaks and districts shall be arranged and settled in a meeting convoked thrice a week, composed of the caima cams and judges, and moodeers, and the most distinguished notables of the district ; and in quarters inhabited by Rajas, as occasion may require, will be summoned to them the chiefs of the nation ; and, finally, their reports and d.scussions, and determinations, will be communicated and referred to the moo sheers of the provinces. As the rest of the taxes are not e'ti mated, but form part f the revenue which is raised according to the tariff, and as it is evident that with respect to dues on fisheries no vexations can take place, as they have been regu lated since the Tanzimat, the Charge of these and similar re venues will be assigned to those who can collect it to the ad vantage of all parties. And, at the same time, their excellen cies the moosheers will be accountable before his Impe:ial Majesty for the good or bad condition of the province,. that have been confided to their administration. They will exer cise, therefore, the greatest discrimination in all matters and affairs, and in the employment of their officers, so that no species of vexatious oppression, or treatment opposed to the divine law, or contrary to anything that may have been decreed since the cstablistsment of the Tanzimati Khaine to the pre sent moment, be practised against the subjects and iiihabhants of the Ottoman empire, who have been consigned by the Lord of the Universe to the special protection of the Khalifat, his Im perial Majesty." The article concludes with an exhortation to the moosheer defterdars to do their ditty like good and honest men . DISPUTES WITH AMERICA. Mr. Clay made the following judicious W.:);ervatious in the Senate, with regard to the general relations between Great Britain and the United States. We wish the rest of the American public would view the question in the same „light : " He regretted 'to see the assaults made by the partisan press on the distinguished individual who had been sent to us with the olive-branch of peace. Nothing was so unmanly or so indecent as those attacks. He had the good fortune, when in England, to know Lord Ashburton, and he bore the highe s t character in hi s o wn coun t ry , b o th for wisdom and integrity. The statement that he was still connected with the banking house which he had established was a mistake. He had not been connected with that house for twenty years. However the hospitalities of the land might be violated by a licentious press, he hoped that the American people would greet the arrival of this gentleman as a messenger of peace. " There is no danger," said Mr. Clay, "of any rupture with Great Britain, if proper ability is employed in the ma nagement of the controversy. The first point of controversy is the North-eas!ern Boun dary. The negotiation on that subject was in progress, with every prospect of a satisfactory termination. The basis of an arrangement had been agreed upon, and there only remained some minor points to be settled. He did not know that the Special Minister was charged with this subject, but the points as to which we finally disagreed could be settled by arbitra tion. There was, therefore, no apprehension of war from that source. " The Caroline affair came next. In that case our terri tory was violated. But who, amongst all the collisions which necessarily happen between nations. would make war upon such a point as this, if there was no other reason ? Nations do not declare war for every cffence. Besides, this was a mixed-up affair, and though the British authorities could not be excused, yet there was some palliation for their conduct. At all events, no war could take place on account of that affair. " The Creole affair was the subject of negotiation; and he censured a little the premature publication of the instructions of our Government. Great Britain ought to indemnify us; but there was no immediate apprehension of war Iron, this matter. " The Right of Search was the remaining question, That right was one that could not be exercised without great abuses, and the United States would never yield it. 11'Or did he un derstand Great Britain as claiming it. What said Lord Aber deen on this subject? We claim no right to examine any American vessel. Even if she be full of slaves, if she be Anierican—if she have American papers—we will not stop her in her course. But as pirates may hoist your flag, and as other nafions—Spain, Portugal, France, or England—might use it, we, who are bound by the treaty, will examine her, and if she be a false vessel,with a flag that she has no right to use, then we will take her. But if sh e b e A mer i can, she may pass on. Mr. Stephenson himself admits, in his correspond ence, that the mere fact of a flag at the mast-head cannot pro tect a pirate. The rrotection must be commensuz ate with the genuineness of the character of the vessel. A treaty providing a mutual right of search was, some years ago, entered into between the United States and Great Britain. Mr. Canning said to Mr. Rush, draw up your own arrangements, and we will agree to it. Mr. Rush drew up a treaty accordingly. It granted a mutual right of search in the vicinity of the West Indies,and on the African coast. The treaty came to us. We ratified it; but struck out that part relating to the West Indies. The treaty went to England for ratification them, and Mr. Canning, piqued at our alteration of a treaty drawn up by us, refused to assent to it. In the existing state of this matter, it can be easily settled by an arrangement between the two Go , - vernments, it it is entered upon in a spirit of amity. Ile had no doubt, in fine, that all the existing difficulties could be ami cably settled." It H AT it ECA The French Minister of War has received veral despatches from Algeria: The first is from General Bugeaud, dated the Camp before Cher chell, April 8. He states that he left Blidah on the Ist, having as a preliminary step ordered the Chef d'Escadron Dautnas to seize on a part of the posts which Sidi Emberek has always main tained along the Chiffa. This coup-de-main was admirably effected. Four posts were carried or destroyed. On the third day the army arrived at Bordj et Beylik, where they found a - little fort built by the Turks, in which were four cannons, This •was destroyed, as well as the ovens and mills employed in the making of bread for the regular troops., The day after they reac h ed .Zaonya d'el Ilerkani, the dwelling-place of the -celebrated family which had been for genera tions the head of the country. Th is p l ace is described as delightful, with numerous gardens, and houses well constructed, and covered with tiles. The place was taken, and the General states that the moral effect of this success must be great, as the inhabitants of the country always considered it bey and the reach of attack. Up to this time time weather had b een delightful, but the rain began pourin g d own, and the troops were obliged to remain under shelter of a wocd until next day. There was also a consider able fall of snow and hail. Th e next day, the wea ther being a little less severe, and the forage being consumed, the expedition pr ocee d e d t o Ch erc h e ll, though in a circuit, in order to destroy a number of villages which were perceived to the. west. As soon as the route they had taken was as certained by the n a ti ves , severa l h un d re d s of the Kabyles hovered about the flanks and rear, and from time to time attacked the troops. In each attack they were repulsed, and left some of their number dead on the field. At last they got tired of these continued checks, and desisted. The General tried several times to attack in his turn with his eavalry, but unevenness of the ground rendered it sible ; the troops at the time advancing throllis a country cu t up b y valleys an d ro cks . . n the several engagements there were retie d men killed on the part of the French troops, a l ' thirty-three wounded. The state of the troll was satisfactory, an d t h e G eneral states t hat ji should not have t o l eave in hospital at Cherch e t more than 150 men.
