The Atfghans, 'the Beloochees, and the Mah rattas are enemies by whose defeat equal numbers would haire rendered glorious; whose dispersion by forces far inferior in strength evinces the irresistible prowess of our • Eastern troops. At a moment then when detraction and party spite are at work to depreciate Lordtllenborough's administration, let us do justice to his rule bt- reminding the public of the victories with which he has adorned the history of British India. 1. On the 30th of August, 1842, General Nott, with only one-half his force, defeated Shunshoodeen, -the Affghan Go vernor of Ghuznee, and 12,000 Affghans, at Conine, thirty one miles south-west of that fortress. 2. On the sth of September, 1842, the same gallant corn naamder drove the Affghans who had, between that date and his previous victory, been reinforced by considerable arrivals from Caubul, under Sultan Jan, from the mountains, the for tresses, the .ravines and gardens which protected Ghuznee, and took and destroyed the city. 3. On the Bth of . September, 1842, General Pollock gained a complete victory over the troops of Akbar Khan and the Ghilzie chiefs at ingdulluck.. _ _ _ 4. On the 13th of September, 1842, General Pollock again defeated Akbar at the head of 16,000 men in the pass of Te zeen, and was thereby enabled to march unmolested through the Khoord Caubul pass, and to occupy Caubul on the 16th of September. _ _ 5. On the 14th and 15th .of September, General Nott again chastised his former antagonists Shunshoodeen and Sultan Jan, who had, at the head o.a large army, intercepted his march on Benee Badam and *ydam. 6. On the 29th of Septembir General M'Caskill totally de feated the numerous levies under the command of Hassan Khan, the murderer of poor Burnes, and other Kohistan chiefs, and, took and destroyed the strong town of Istalif. 7. On the 15th of Mark,, 1843, Major Outram, with a handful of men, saved the British residency at Hyderabad against 8,000 Beloochees, accompanied with six pieces of cannon. 8. On the 20th of March, Sir Charles Napier, with only 2,800 men of all arms, and 12 pieces of artillery, on a most disadvantageous position, totally defeated at Meanee the Ameers of Sinde, with 22,000 Beloochees, supported by 15 cannon, and with woods, apparently not to be turned, on heir 9. On the 24th of March, reinforced by' Stack's brigade, Sir Charles Napier, with 5,000 troops, again routed, after three hours' desperate resistance, nearly 20,000 Beloochees, under the Ameer of Meerpoor, four Miles from Hyderabad. 10. On the 29th of December, 1843, General Sir Hugh Gough, commanding the "army of exercise," signally de feated, at Maharaj, 17,000 Mahratta insurgent troops, most advantageously posted, with the loss of 3,ooomen, 56 cannon, and the whole of their camp appointments. 11. And on the same day General Grey, at the head of the Bundlekund army, attacked and routed at Ptumiar, other 12,000 Mahratta rebels, and also captured their equipments. Here, then, within a period of sixteen months, has our Anglo •Indian army, under Lord Ellenborough's administra tion, gained no fewer than ten pitched battles over the most warlike, best prepared, and determined soldiers of Asia. if military glory and renown can inunortalise his government of India, it will descend to history recorded in the brightest pages of our Eastern annals. Nor are even these victories all the superintendence of our war against China was also immediately consigned to Lerd'Ellenborough ; and the effi ciency and success of our armament in the Chinese seas were not a little owing to his adequate preparations for its vic tories. Let who will be Lord Ellenborough's successor, he will find future glory difficult of acquirement after these achievements. And it is because of these victories Lord Ellenborough is defamed, maligned, and aspersed. So, alas, were Clive, Hastings, and Wellesley, in their days. Au Auckland, who brought shame and disgrace on our arms, is the model of perfection : an Ellentorough, who has vindi cated the ancient and exalted the modern fame of our arms, is decried as an imbecile. Such is faction l Let it not be thought that these victories have distracted Lord Ellenbo rough's attention from the duties of peace. Under his 'admi nistration slavery has been practically abolished throughout British India; the execution of those great public works which Lord Auckland was compelled to suspend has been recommenced ; a thorough investigation into the financial state of India has been undertaken; and a notification has been issued that the last remaining restriction on commerce will be forthwith abolished. ADVERTISER.—Both Houses of Parliament were last night taken by surprise, on its being announced that the Court of Directors of the East India Company had recalled Lord Ellenborough from the Governor-Generalship of India. The particulars connected with this unexpected circumstance have not transpired. This is the first occasion in which the Company have exercised the power with which they are in vested, of recalling a Governor-General. Ministers, it ap pears, have not sanctioned the recal of Lord Ellenborough. As the right of the Court of Directors to take the step they have done is unquestioned, it remains to be seen in what way the collision between them and the Government is to terminate. CHRONICLE.—WhiIe the House of Commons has been THE IRISH STATE TRIALS. DUBLIN, THURSDAY. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. occupying its time with wretched Ferrand squabbles, events of real moment have, it appears, been in progress. Sir Robert Peel and Lord Ripon yesterday everting announced to the two Houses a fact—startling at once from its importance and its novelty. Lord Ellenborough has been re-called. This tardy compliance with the dictates of national self-preserva tion, is not the result of slow wisdom or penitence on the part of her Majesty's Ministers. For the first•time in the present century, the Directors of the East India Company have thought it their duty to exercise the extreme power vested in them by their charter, of recalling a Governor-General in defiance . of the Ministry. A body like the Court of Directors must, naturally, be most unwilling to come into collision with the Ministers of the Crown. It has never done so before. On Shortly after eleven O'clock the Judges took their seats on the bench. Mr. O'Connell and the other tra versers were present. The Court was completely filled. The Attorney and Solicitor-General, and nearly all the counsel engaged in the trial, were present. Mr. WinTEsinE then rose and moved for a new trial, on several grounds. The first ground was, that there was no such person on the jury as John Rigby, the gentleman who impersonated him being John Jason Rigby, who was neither on the panel nor summoned to attend. He cited a considerable number of cases, to convince the Court that but eleven jurors actually tried the late issue. His next had reference to the " abstraction" of names from the jury list, then to the judge's charge, next to the evidence which was admitted for the prosecution. lie argued, at great length, that the violent ballad sold at Mullaghmast should not have been received in evidence. At the time the Court rose, Mr. Whiteside had not finished his law argument. He will resume his address to morrow morning, and, from all appearances, it will be a long affair. the present occasion, it has evidently not- done so until ad vice, remonstrance, and endurance have been all exhausted. Nor can the Directors be supposed to have acted under the influence of party politics. 1. he great majority of the COurt are not only Conservatives, but very decided in their support of the present Ministry. It will not readily be imagined that a body, so little like to seek occasion for such an act of hos tility to any Ministry, composed of individuals so disposed to support the present Ministers, has taken so decided a step without the greatest reluctance, and a deep sense of urgent and overpowering necessity. At present the public are un intormed of the precise ground on which the Court have re called Lord Ellenborough ; and as some information will pro bably be given in a few d ays, i t would b e i mproper to anti cipate, by loose conjectu re, the conclus i ons o f w hi c h we shall soon have surer grounds fo r we i g hi ng t h e sou ndness. Of the great measures of Lord Ellenborough's policy, more than one would undoubtedly appear to the public to justify his removal from the government, of which they have impaired the character and weakened the security. But we believe that the Court of Directors have been even more influenced by their sense of the danger likely to result from a long series of acts, each minute, and in itself not very important, but which, collectively, have tended to the result of wounding the feelings, lowering the character, and im pairing the efficiency of the whole Civil service of India. There is not a rule of Indian Government which the present Governor-General has not set at nought ; not a class of public servants to whom he has not rendered himself odious ; and he has made himself thus unpopular to the whole Civil ser vice, byno great change in the internal policy of India—by no useful reforms--but simply by wanton disregard to the feelings of individuals, and for the consideration due to station and public services. In addition, it is rumoured that he had given recent cause of offence by resenting, in an unbecoming manner, the remonstrances o f the Court of Directors, and replying to them in language as improper as that which he was in the habit of using to everybody else. We mention these points, not as being prep are d to give our readers any sufficient in sight into the real state of the matter, but in order to guard against mis-statements, which will be circulated by those who think themselves bound to defend Lord Ellenborough. The partisans of the Ministry have already taken the cue of violently assailing the Dir ec t ors , and of attributing their dis approval of Lord Ellenborough to certain reforms, by which . it is hinted that he was. interfering with what is called their jobbing. We do not believe that Lord Ellenborough ,has made or proposed any reform of real moment in the internal government of India; and we suspect that if he has animad verted on anything as a job, it has been simply by way of retort, and for the purpose of deterring his superiors from checking his own unwise policy.

LYME.—On the morning of Good Friday, a large mass of the church cliffs at this town slipped slowly and noiselessly into the sea beneath, from the immediate vicinity of the church-yard, thereby rendering the re maining portion of the cliffs totally unapproachable without a long and circuitous walk. This pleasant and favourite promenade has, from time immemorial, been making frequent similar contributions, and, at no far distant period, it is feared, will exist only in memory.— Sherborne Journal.. LIE OUTRAGE AT ADARE Arnim—The Limerick Reporter adds the following particulars to those already published, of the conspiracy ,to destroy the property of Lord Dunraven :—" It apt ears that one' of the accom plices, named Loony, informed of the whole business, and that upon his information, which has been amply -corroborated, the conspirators were arrested ; and one of the female prisoners has since made horrifying reve lations to the same effect. It appears that Loony, Regan, and the two women, bad concocted a plot to burn Lord Dunraven's stables, to blow up the church with gunpowder, and to shoot the coachman while on his way to Mr. Fosberry's, of Currabridge, for Lady Dunraven. The list of victims, amounting to ten in number, was actually made out, and found en the person of Regan." • RECAL of LORD ELLENBOROUGH. FROM TII MORNING PAPERS OF TIMIS DAT. POST.—It will be seen from our Parliamentary report that, in answer to questions put to Government last night in both Houses, Lord Ripon in the Lords, and Sir Robert Peel in the Commons, stated officially the recal of Lord Ellen borough by the Court of Directors of the East India Com pany. This act of the Directors, it seems, is strictly justified by the legal power vested in them ; but Lord Ripon not merely announced the recal, as Sir Robert Peel did—he added, that it had not received the sanction or approbation of her Majesty's Government. It would be ill-timed, at the present moment, to discuss the propriety or otherwise of such a law; we cannot but think, however, that there is some thing ungracious in making the recal of the Governor- General the immediate sequel of his brilliant successes. About a month ago it was generally understood in political society that, whenever Lord Ellenborough should cease to exercise his high office, he was to be succeeded by Sir James Graham, who, in that case, would be raised to the Peerage by the title of Lord Netherby. Of course, we are not in a position to say whether the rumoured arrangement will now take effect. TlMES.—Amidst the animated personal discussions in which the House of Commons is at present absorbed, we might be pardoned for omitting to be startled at any political event of merely ordinary strangeness. Like the combatants at the battle of Thrasymene, we are too well occupied to ob serve a mere earthquake. But if every man had his hand at his neighbour's throat and his fist at his neighbour's face, he would yet find time to stop and be astounded at the following announcement, unexpected and unexplained, of Sir Robert Peel. " I beg to state," said the Right Hon. Baronet, " that on Wednesday last her Majesty's Government had received a communication from the Court of Directors that they had exercised the power which the law gives them, to recal at their will and pleasure the Governor-General of India." There it is, gentlemen of the House of Coinmons, beginning, middle, and end—mukum in parro—make what you can of it. For ourselves, we cannot make much. Nor, indeed, did either House. They don't seem to have got beyond "ob stupue're omnes." Lord Normanby and 111 r. Macaulay said that, in that case, they would wait for Lord Ellenborough's arrival before they began talking about Gwalior, and there was little further meddling with the portentous statement. The first question is, what is this for? Lord Ellenborough has done many things—wise and foolish—good, bad, and in different ; which of them has brought his term of government to this violent death? Has he conquered too much or too little—has he jobbed, or has he refused to job? Has he in sulted the Chairman, or has the (once) great Mogul com plained of him? Or is it simply that the staid elderly gen tlemen cannot stand the pace he goes ? Is the crime some thing that we do, or that we don't yet know? Do his col leagues back him up, or deliver him over to the will of the enraged Lady Koompani? Have the Directors flown in the face of Sir Robert, or is Sir Robert not so ill pleased to get his wild elephant well out of the harness? All is as-yet mys tery—mere black and impenetrable cloud, with this one flash of lightning ;—not a hint, not an indication of any body's meaning or intention.' But the truth must soon be out, and then we shall see what we shall see. For ourselves, we own to some considerable disappointment—not quite so great as • that of Lord Ellenborough, but still'very considerable. That Nobleman's course has been as puzzling and almost as amus ing as a romance. "What next ?" is an anxious question to be always asking, but is a very interesting one ; and since Lord Ellenborough has been in India, it has met us at every turn. The Noble Lord's deeds, words, and circumstances conspired to suggest it. The Affghan retreat—the procla mation of Somnauth—the occupation of Sinde—the rebel lion of the Punjaub—the reduction of Gwalior—all forced upon us the same alarming question—" What next?" And in most of these cases we have still to receive the answer. For ourselves, we frankly confess our speculations have run into twenty different channels. At first the English ruler seemed a little bitten by Islamism. His talk was of the great works of peace left behind them by the great Mahometan rulers of India, and we began to consider how he would look in a turban, and what the Company would think of a Maho metan Governor-General. Then came a Hindoo fit. The gates of Somnauth seemed to have operated as a conversion. The Governor-General began to coquet with hundred-armed idols, and to call the Princes of Malwa his brethren. He seemed on the edge of Polytheism. Whether he was more likely to enter into Hindoo mythology as deity or devotee— whether he was to gladden the Peninsula as a thirty. third incarnation of Vishnu, or edify it by a display of gorgeous Brahminical ascetism, it lay in the womb of time to show ; but the most unimaginative mind could scarcely look with out an undefined mixture of wonder and apprehension at the Oriental glow which was collecting, after a somewhat curi ous fashien, around Lord Ellenborough's vigorous and succes ful career. Lately his course has been of a definite, but more commonplace kind. It has been his pleasure to be the idol of the army. He has been prodigal of battles, honours, sugar-plums, and crosses of gun-metal. He has been present with the army of Gwalior in their great fight. He has heard the cannon-balls whiz about his own ears—has smelt powder and expressed his satisfaction thereat. Unsatisfied with the mere statesman-like office of directing operations from Calcutta or Allahabad, he came forward in person to win the hearts of the soldiery on the field of battle, and appears to have had considerable success. Considering his Lordship's aspiring temper, and the apparently unsettled state of his mind, we really could hardly be surprised at hear ing that Leadenhall-street actually apprehended the corrup tion Of its Sepoys, and had interposed in this unaccountable hurry lest Lord Ellenborough should open a novel and dazzling career to himself, by an announcement of hiS in dependence. More incredible things have happened in this wonderful world, than that an English Governor-General should have turned the army against its paymasters, and under a new Persian name have startedforth as the founder of a new military empire. Meantime it argues very consi siderable confidence in their subordinate officers, that the East India Direction should have dared at the present moment to remove from the head of affairs a man of singular know ledge, energy, and industry ; who is in process of carrying out with success, if not always with principle, a large and bold course of policy. At the present moment, it is true, we are triumphant everywhere. But Affghanistan and Persia are lowering. Sinde is muttering. Our Sepoys who are sent there are being broke down by disease. Those whom we wish to send are showing uncomfortable symptoms of mutiny. The Punjaub is distracted, lawless, and hostile ; Gwalior is beaten, but unsettled; and Lord Ellenborough, who has not yet added to his delin• quencies that of failure, keeps his plans to himself, and lets nobody know what he is moving for. In such a crisis it is a bold, we hope it will not prove an imprudent procedure, to recal the Governor-General, and leave his game to be played out by the civil servants at Calcutta or by an inexperienced successor, fresh from the Home-office or any other position in the Administration , in which a vacancy may be nient to the Premier. When Lord Ellenborough's actual administration of the affairs of India is .to cease we doanti know. Lord Normanby and Mr. Macaulay app to cipate a very , summary termination. Their postponement of motions respecting Gwalior appears to indicate an expehcia tation of a hostile meeting before the end of the s ession.e Ti s we can scarcely suppose possible. Lord lug movements are rapid, but a G overnor-General on from India has something more to do than to p t clean shirts into his portmanteau and to order out an ex ra s t ta a rt fewia Government steamer; and his habits of personal interference make it certain that he will have an unusual amount of ex planations, directions, and recommendations to bequeath to.' his successor—an unusual number of loose threads to fasten pendingoff, inildisosifon. tu about it. For the present we must e nd where we began—e in enterprises to ma put into en a w h e t ku shape ap m e for e amazement. HERALD.—It was last night announced, in each of the Houses of Parliament, that the Court of Directors of the East India Company have determined upon the-recal of the present Governor-General of India. This step takes us, as no doubt it will the country, by surprise. What are the rea sons for Lord Ellenborough's recal we know it ; • but this shall not prevent our acknowledging his inestimable services. " You cannot stop here ; you must go forward," were the words with which Lord Clive expressed his prophetic view of the irresistible force of circumstances which subsequently carried us on to the empire of Hindostan. It was in vain that the Legislature, by the resolutions of 1784, that to pur sue schemes of conquest and extension of dominion are mea sures repugnant to the wish, the honour, and the policy of the nation, attempted to avert Lord Clive's prediction ; for our largest and most frequent acquisitions of territory have been made since that declaration was embodied in an Act of Parliament. Lord Cornwallis first went out to India in 1786, with this declaration ringing in his ears, and resolved to avoid all the errors of Warren Hastings ; he had scarcely surveyed his Government ere he himself proposed a war, which ended in largely adding to its territories. So with Lord Amherst, distinguished for moderation and pacific views ; he was compelled to add vast unpeopled provinces and track less unhealthy forests, beyond our natural boundaries, to our empire. Who so devoted in profession to the "victories of peace" as Lord Auckland ? And yet he involved us in an' attempt to subdue Central Asia, and to become a trans-Indian power. Lord Ellenborough embarked with the words " peace ! peace 1" on his lips, and he has annexed Sinde to our dominions, and coerced Mahratta insubordination and rebellion into quiescence and obedience. "The most eminent statesmen," remarks Sir John Malcolm, in his "Political History of India," "whether they learned their lessons in England, or gained their experience in India, have uniformly concurred in the opinion that extension of territory was not only undesirable but hurtful. Those to whom the local go vernment of our Eastern empire was entrusted have had every motive to preserve peace, and to avoid war. Never theless, they have almost all engaged in war, and those who have avoided doing so have confessedly left it as an inheri tance to their successors." Still more decisive is the language of James Mill :—" Both the British Legislature and the East India Company have," said he to the Commons' Committee, on the last renewal of the Company's charter in 1832, " de clared very strougly against extending our conquests ; bat every now and then it has happened that - those conquests were pressed on the India rulers as a species of necessity. All our wars cannot, perhaps, with propriety be con sidered wars of necessity; but most of those by which the territories we possess have been obtained, and out of which our subsidiary alliances have grown, have been wars, I think, of necessity, and not of choice. For example, the wars with Tippoo and the Mahrattas." And this matured opinion of the historian is the more authoritative, because there is scarcely a war which Mr, Mill does not, in his great, but wrong-headed work, condemn, and of all his rash con deniations therein, there are none, perhaps, stronger, than those relating to the very examples of wars of necessity which he thus gave to the Committee in question. But whether Lord Ellenborough's have been wars of necessity or not—and . that they were, we are profoundly convinced and perfectly ready to demonstrate—this much is certain, that in the whole range of our Indian history hone. have been more quickly consummated or more gloriously conducted. And the vic tories of our Anglo-Indian army under his administration have not been gained over the weakest, the least skilled, or the most tumorlike tribes of Asia; but Over the most mai- EXAMPLES.

Dispatches ware sent off yesterday from the Colonial office for the Governor of Van Diemen's Land. Mr. and Mrs. Grote have arrived at their residence in Eccleston-street, from the Continent. STATE or TRADE.—We have had a very quiet week, both buyers and sellers suspending operations until the intentions of Government are made known. It is, however, expected that no sooner will their plans be declared, than a great demand will spring up for produce ; and it is generally thought higher prices will be obtained. Cotton this week barely supports its position, and buyers operate with an advantage over last week ; specu lators are very shy. For Manchester goods large orders have been received, but the English agents purchase with • great caution. The corn trade is again assuming a gloomy aspect, and brices are now so surely on the wane, that it will e a work of time to effect any material reduction of the present rate of duty ; the consequence is, that bonded stock can be purchased on terms equi valent, or nearly so, to the present duty-pail rates, less the duty of 17s. per quarter for wheat. Ship ping business is active, chiefly owing to the enor mous demand for guano traffic. All low-priced vessels have eagerly been taken for this business, and many ships have been sold at rates nearly double the price de manded twelve months ago. Others have refused to sell and their vessels have gone out on owners' account. The ships now arriving are yielding very extravagant profits, but it remains to be seen whether the fleet of vessels now on their way to the African islands will afford the same result. Surely, if the demand for this manure continues to take off the supplies as they arrive, we shall, ere long, feel its effects in the reduced prices of provisions.— Liverpool Mercury. HORRIBLE DEATH.—On Friday an inquest was held at the Lye, on Jeremiah Morris, who came by his death in the most extraordinary manner. The deceased had visited the works of Mr. Evison, chain-manufacturer at the Lye, on Wednesday, for the purpose of seeing the men. An appa ratus connected with the fire is used for the purpose of pre venting the immediate heat in contact with part of the work from destroying the iron of which it is composed, a portion of cold water being conducted through a pipe to an aperture surrounding the part, which becoming warm from the office it has to perform, is returned through another pipe in a steaming hot state. The return pipe, from constant use, is frequently obstructed, and it is a custom with the workmen to blow down it to clear it. On the present occasion, the de ceased coming into the shop essayed to clear an obstruction which had taken place in the pipe, after others had failed in the attempt, and, having blown forcibly down the pipe, in drawing his breath for another and more powerful attempt, drew from the pipe the next inspiration, which, creating a vacuum betwixt his mouth and the obstruction, the sub stance, whatever it might have been, assisted as it was by the power of steam behind, rushed upwards towards his mouth, and deluged him with steam and scalding water. The unfortunate man died in great agony.— Wolverhampton Chron. POOR-LAW AuntToßs.—(From a Correspondent.) —lt is said that there is an intention of disposing of the pre - - sent auditors under the poor-law, and substituting district auditors. A district auditor will audit for several unions, attending, most probably, at the union houses periodically to audit, and giving notice for parish officers when to meet him with their accounts. DISTRESSED NEEDLEWOMEN IN LONDON.—A vocal and instrumental concert, in aid of the funds of this charity, was given last night at Covent-garden, and if the number of the audience be any index of the amount of funds given to the Society, we regret to say, they must have had more to pay than to receive, for a more wretched house we never saw. Among the vocal and instrumental performers who kindly gave their assistance, we may mention Miss Romer, Miss Sara Flower, Mr. Leffler, Mr. Edney, Signor F. Lablache, M a dame Dulcken, M. Moscheles , and Sig nor Benedict, but . with all this talent we cannot s a y much for their execution, though on such an occasion we have no desire to be critical —indeed we have no ground—for the emptiness of the house is a sufficient excuse for the spiritless performances of the evening. Tun KING or Tun FRENCH.--We understand that there no longer exist any doubts respecting the visit of the King of the French to this country. The precise period of. his Majesty's arrival has not yet been definitely decided, but there is, we believe, every reason to suppose that he will land at Portsmouth. His Majesty has selected Portsmouth in preference to Southampton at the suggestion of some naval officers, on account of there being a clear channel at all times of the tide at the former place.—Post.

LAW AND POLICE. _ John Skinner Francis, an officer in the Cape of Good Hope Mounted Rifles, and Mary Anne Browne, a female elegantly dressed, and of prepossessing appearance, were charged at Bow-street with forgery upon the .bank of Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Smiths, in presenting and receiving payments for cheques falsely purporting to be in the handwriting of the Dowager Lady Nelthorpe, of Sevenoaks, Kent. There was no evidence to support the charge against Francis, but the female prisoner was committed, bail being refused. Mr. Francis was required to give bail, himself in 1,0001. and two sureties in 5001. each to appear if called upon. Bail was immediately found. The particulars of the case have already appeared in the papers. The female was greatly affected on hearing the decision of the magistrate. On Thursday two police constables of the B division, Mathew Hum, 189, and Henry Parbury, 202, were bronght up at Queen-square, and the further hearing was postponed till Friday, charged with being drunk and fighting while in uniform, on the previous evening. On the case being called on, Mr. Forbes, an inspector of the B division, said that Hum was no where to be found. Parbury was then placed at the bar, and the charge against him proceeded with.— Mr. Burrell said that this was not a case which came within a clause of the Police Act, which inflicted a heavy punish ment upon constables for neglect or excess in the execution of their duty. Their conduct had been most indecent and improper; but as it seemed clear that Parbury was less to blame than the other, he should be content with his entering into his own recognizances to keep the peace. ~~~~ COURT-r4sEtzoNzinsaa.

SUICIDE OF A CHELSEA PENSlONER.—Yesterday Mr. Higgs held an inquest at the Compasses, Upper Ebury street, Pimlico, on the body of Edward Horrell, aged sixty five, a pensioner belonging to Chelsea Hospital. Charles Thompson said that the deceased with his wife lodged at No. 51, Upper Ebury-street. At five o'clock yesterday (Friday) morning, witness was called from his bed by one of the lodgers, and told that deceased had made an attempt upon his life. Witness immediately arose, and upon going into the kitchen saw him lying upon the floor, and bleeding from a large wound in the throat. Deceased was first missed by his wife, who went to the kitchen in search of him, and found the door shut. Upon pushing against it the deceased fell, and it appeared as if he had endeavoured to hang himself by a cord at the top when his wife inter rupted him. Being frustrated in his attempt to hang him self, he got his razor and inflicted a large gash upon his throat. Witness had never observed anything in him which indicated insanity. Ilis pension of one shilling and three pence per day, and a trifle his wife earned by washing, was all they had to live upon, and deceased being about to reside in Chelsea Hospital, he went to St. George's workhouse to ask them to make provision for his wife. They refused un less he also would enter the workhouse. Mr. Hankley, surgeon, said that he attended the deceased, and found him dead from the effects of the incision in the throat—Verdict, "Temporary insanity." A LEARNED FRENCH JOURNALIST.--A writer in the Constitutionne/, one of the leading journals in Paris, states that the Childe Harold of Lord Byron was an ancient Saxon king ! Another paper states that Gloucester is a large manu facturing city in Scotland!
