" Mr. Dover's Patent Removable Window Sash is so contrived, that in less than two minutes the whole window may be removed and taken into the room by the most unskilful servant; so that those who possess windows on this improved principle, may have them cleaned by their domestics, &c., without endangering the life or any human being. " Much inconvenience found to accrue from the introduction of *range workmen will thus be avoided ; while additional light and ootefort may be obtained through the opportunity afforded of fre '9ttent cleaning with convenience and economy. " It will be found by those who inspect Mr. Cover's models of The removable window sash, or the windows which have been fitted uP on this principle, that it possesses several advantages over the Common sash, viz. : " The firmness given to it by means of the metal stops, when the sash is closed ; the silence and ease with which the metal and 110 0 d work together when the sash is raised or lowered; and the °Pportunity it affords of substituting a ventilator upon a large acaie. For clubs, hotels, hospitals, and offices, a duplicate sash, fitted with wire gauze (so as to yield all the luxury of ventilation) Alight, when the weather permits, be fixed in the frame by means or the patent stops ; the same stops being in like manner applicable 1 0 the glazed sash ; and no workman being required to substitute The one for the other."—The Builder.

Napier, but how modified I cannot say. The nature of his Government, however, may be judged of by its effects, as a tree is known by its fruit; but amongst such a people, so recently conquered, it must of necessity be at first of a military and despotic character—any other would be dangerous. All these things are well-known in Sinde, and your inquiring correspondent, to appre ciate them correctly, would do well to visit that coun try himself, and not trust to the uncertain, preju diced, or wilfully distorted accounts of others. Let him examine the facts, make himself acquainted with the nature and working of Sir Charles Napier's Ad ministration, and send you the result. " For forms of government let fools contest, That which is best administered is best," is a maxim which, though not universally applicable, may be considered so in a wild semi-barbarous country like Sinde. Your correspondent will, per haps, find that of Sir Charles Napier as bold, simple, and undisguised as his own natural character, and as vigorous too. The law between man and man has, I believe, been but little interfered with—it is adminis tered as formerly, by heads of villages and districts, with the right of appeal to British authorities. You may remember, that Sir Charles in his earliest pro clamation deprecated any unnecessary alteration of ancient usages, because he wisely considered the shock of conquest sufficiently violent to unsettle the community, without more interference in national customs than should be absolutely necessary for a just and merciful Government. That of Sinde now bears this character, as far as such qualities are compatible. " The Padisha never kills any one for himself" is the native remark upon it. And to these qualities may be added, simplicity, economy, effi ciency ;—few means with great effects. There are in Sinde none of what are called " Establishments," i.e., public offices, composed of heads of departments, and numerous underlings, half castes, and others, on whom the weight of business is left with all its conveniences, while the chief is content to put his signature to the necessary papers without troubling his head much about the manner of their execution; thence often arises a vexatious and oppressive rule by self-inte rested subalterns, and enormous expense to the Go vernment. The revenue of Sinde would never -stand against such ruinous machinery, but the vexed in habitants would probably soon show alarming symp toms of uneasiness if not of danger. There are not maintained more " cats than catch mice," and these in general military, but all hard-working cats, that fairly earn their nourishment. With discipline and a good and zealous spirit, they conciliate and pro tect the inhabitants under the auspices of a lynx-eyed Governor. Before the great meeting at Hyderabad a large body of the hill Beloochee chiefs—the most fierce and wild of the race—from whom nothing was ex pected but inroads, troubles, and general hostility, came down to Kurachee to make their salaam. Their approach was announced to Sir Charles while they were still at some miles distance, who instantly or dered them to disarm where they were, and so enter the town. This being promptly and confidently obeyed, they were received with the highest military honours—had a long audience with the Governor -attended a review of the troops—and, finally, their principal chief offered to follow Sir Charles against either the Sikhs or Affghans, with 20,000 men. This was the second offer of the kind within a short period, for there is a good feeling springing up between the two nations, and perhaps no other instance exists in history of a country having been conquered as Sinde has, without murder, plunder, or violence of any kind, or even personal insult to any of the inhabitants ! The damage done was confined to armed men, to the field of battle, and line of fugitives; and while the English camp was thronged with native Sindians bringing supplies, those of the Beloochees was studiously avoided, and the country plundered by wild and un disciplined freebooters. Thus has Sinde been con quered, with no more evil than what occurred in fair fight, and its turbulent leaders quieted, conciliated, and intimidated; taxes have been reduced and revenue augmented ; the value of labour increased nearly five fold ; improvements and civilisation begun ; tran quillity and personal safety insured ; law and order paramount; and every prospect of a continuance of internal peace in that long-oppressed and ruined country. Sir C. Napier, in the opinion of those really ac quainted with the present state of that important frontier, has already shown that it may be governed and defended both cheaply and effectively, leaving a large surplus revenue (for the army must have been paid had Sinde never been conquered, and not an ad ditional man has been raised for that province alone), and that under a wise and energetic Government it may in time become one of the most valuable pro vinces of British India. Sir, I have now only to apologise for this long letter, but much more and better might be written on this interesting and important subject, even by one so little acquainted with it as your most obedient servant, AN OFFICER. CONSECRATION OF CHRIST CHURCH, BURTON-ON TRENT.—Yesterday morning the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Lichfield consecrated the new church at Bur _ _ ton-on-Trent, in the presence of a large number of cler gymen and influential inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood. The Lord Bishop arrived shortly be fore eleven o'clock, and proceeded with the solemn cere monies of the Church; after which his Lordship delivered an appropriate and impressive sermon. The church, which is from the design of Mr. Joseph Mitchell, architect, Sheffield, is in the early English, or Lancet-Gothic style, and is cruciform in its arrangement, having a nave seventy-seven feet by fifty-eight, north and south tran septs, twenty-eight by twenty-one, chancel, twenty-four feet by fourteen, and a tower and spire at the west, rising 150 feet. The windows in the nave and transept are coupled, having small shafts running up the angles, both inside and out, with appropriate wood mouldings. The church is lighted by a triple window. This window, as well as the chancel arch and other parts of the interior, is elaborately carved with suitable mouldings, and the whole is in stone. The interior of the church is lined with Dorset stone, closely joined. The additional expense between that and plaster has not been much more than 40/., while the durability and general effect of the whole structure has been materially improved. The roof deserves attention from its peculiar construction, there being no small rafters. The trusses are placed at twelve feet distance. The whole of the benches, both open and appropriated, have stall ends ; the appropriated ones having small doors. The reading-desk and pulpit are placed on either side of the chance arch, so that on entering the west door a full view of the chancel is obtained, which adds greatly to the general effect of the structure. In designing the font the architect has been guided in a great measure by the one in Ash bourne Church, Derbyshire. The church will accommo date 600 on the ground floor, but, unfortunately, to meet the lack of funds, the increased required accommo dation, 400 sittings, have been provided by galleries in the transept and tower, and this in some measure de teriorates from the good effect, but not so much as might be imagined, from the fact of there being ne galleries along the sides of the nave. The exterior is built of scabled wall-stone, with ashlar dressings round the windows, doors, &c., which go through the walls. The spire is built of ashlar. The estimated cost of erection is 2,800/. In connection with the church, schools have been erected to accommodate 550 children, at a cost of 800/. They are built in the Tudor style, and are much admired for their efficient arrangement and design. The church will hold 1,000 persons. At the close of tie cere- mony the Bishop partook of a cold collation with the clergy, and returned to Eccleshall Palace. TIIE LATE TRAGICAL OCCURRENCE NEAR GROS- VENOR-SQUARE.—Yesterday afternoon, an inquiry was held before Mr. Higgs, at the Hog in the Pound, Oxford-street, on the bodies of Mary Levy, aged 23, and her newly-born female infant, concerning the death of whom some details under the above heading have already appeared in this journal. Mr. Francis Clarke, surgeon, No. 9, Marylebone-lane, stated that about eight o'clock on Monday morning last, he was called to the house of Mr. Manicom, baker, No. 36, South Molton street, Oxford•street, where, on the landing of the second flight of stairs, he found the deceased, Mary L ev y, lying quite dead, and on the floor, by her side, the infant, with its head partly wrapped in an apron, the strings of which were tied tightly twice round its neck, fastened in a knot, and the ends of them still re maining in the hands of the mother. Death in both cases had not taken place more than ten minutes. He had make an examination of the bodies and found that the mother had died of serus apoplexy, probably pro duced by excitement, and the death of the child, which had been unquestionably, born alive, had been caused by strangulation. The jury returned a verdict " That the deceased, Mary Levy, destroyed her female child by strangulation, but in what state of mind she was at the time, there was no evidence to show, and that she her self died from apoplexy." Deceased is said to have been respectably connected. INCENDIARISM AT GREAT BARTON..---A most de structive fire took place on Wednesday night on a farm, the property and in the occupation of Mr. John Phillips, at Great Barton, Suffolk. It was discovered about a quarter past seven o'clock, and an express was imme diately sent off to Bury St. Edmund's for the fire-en gines, which soon after arrived, but owing to the de ficient supply of water, were unable to render any material service. The property destroyed consisted of a, large barn, in which was 100 coombs of wheat and 200 coombs of oats, which had been got up about a week; a row of cart-sheds and other out-buildings, a waggon, & e ., and a quantity of agricultural implements. The pro perty was insured.—lpszvich Express. CAUTION TO SPORTSMEN IN THE NORTH.—A Liverpool gentleman, who had been on a shootitngatehxe cursion in the Highlands , fel l so much in love with the whisky of that part of her Majesty's dominions, h determined to take home with him a goodly supply of that exhiliratinF, beverage, and accordingly purchased three gallons, with which he reached Carlisle on Satur day, but the Excise officers being on the alert, not only made a prize of the whisky, but brought him before the magistrates, who fined him in the mitigated penalty of L twenty-five pounds.--Cumberland racquet.

SPENCER'S CELEBRATED CHINESE LIQUID HAIR DYE. The thousands of individuals who have had the pleasure of using Spencer's Chinese Liquid Hair Dye, pronounce it to be the only Dye extant which will effectually change, in a few minutes, red or grey hair to a dark brown or black, and it can be proved incontestibly that it is the safest dye in its use that ever was prepared. Red or grey hair, whiskers, eyebrows, moustaches, &c., are changed without trouble, by simply using a comb wetted with the liquid; one applica tion will produce a pleasing and a permanent change. The colour it imparts to the hair can never be discovered to have been ef fected by dye, it being so perfectly natural, and neither washing, per spiration, or anything will in the least fade o r affect the colou r p ro. duced. Hundreds of ladies who wore false hair, because their own became grey, wear new their own. Also, thousands of gentlemen who had grey or red whiskers, which was a great disfigurement, have become quite dark from the use of SPENCER'S CHINESE LI QUID HAIR DYE.

The necessity, however, of guard ing against the culpable negligence (if it be nothing worse) that has already caused the miscarriage of two of our parcels, renders it advisable, in order that our report may be forwarded with some probability of reaching its destination, to complete it in time for post; our " Court Circular," therefore, must stand over for the present. The great event of the day was timed for three o'clock, a clear hour after the Cleveland Handicap, which was the first on the card. This, however, excited very little notice in the ring ; the bell was rung for saddling, and in due time the several competitors for the " Sellinger" made their appearance, and having passed the ordeal of criticism, proceeded to the post, mid after one slight failure, were started about twenty minutes past three o'clock. Having described the race fully, we need only state here that The Cure, the Princess, and Poig-a-ballagh, continued in great estimation to the end, and that lied Deer left off a worse favourite than in the town. No others were backed. FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE ST. LUGER. Godfrey took the lead at starting, followed by the Amulet colt, The Cure and Foig-a-ballagh; Red Deer, Lightning, and Little Hampton next ; Bay Momus eighth ; and The Princess last. The pace miserably slow. After running about twenty strides, The Cure was pulled behind Lightning and Red Deer, The Princess, favoured by the badness of the pace, about the same time joining the front rank. The speed somewhat improved at the hill, and the Irish horse joining Godfrey, ran at his side to the mile post, where he took up the running, but without in any material degree improving the speed. The Princess now laid third, the Amulet colt and Red Deer next, The Cure outside of them, and Bay Momus, who never had a chance, last of all. Godfrey was defeated at the Red House, and The Princess went on in Foig-a ballagh's track, Red Deer and Lightning third and fourth, and The Cure, pulling double, and making a wide sweep round the turn on the whip-hand, fifth. The pace now became good, but without changing the order of running, the leading horses main taining their positions until within a distance of home. The Cure, still pulling tremendously, and going faster than anything in the race, now went up like a shot, was alongside Foig-a-ballagh in an instant, and looked as if he was going to win in a canter, but immediately after hung to the right, 3. - rent close to the rails when called upon to finish, bore to the left, it being admonished by a stroke of the whip, and a second time ran towards the Stand rails. It is need less to inquire whether this arose from habit or dis tress ; it is enough that Foigh-a-ballagh, " encou raged" by the whip, cleared him at the Stand, and won by a length. The Princess was beaten half a length from The Cure, and was about a length in ad vance of Lightning and Red Deer. The Amulet colt was sixth, and Godfrey last. The race, as our de scription will explain, was one of the slowest ever witnessed, and, in the opinion of many competent judges, was run to suit the favourite ; had the pace been good, it is doubtful that he would have been second. Value of the stakes, 2,6251. Mr. Irwin wins upwards of 12,0001. on the race, independent of the stakes. Mr. Forth and several gentlemen connected with the stables are also large winners. TUESDAY NIGHT, TWELVE O'CLOCK.—The room is now, and for the last two or three hours has been, very fully attended, and betting is progressing with great vigour on the Yorkshire Handicap. The " lions" are Rowena and Mickey Free, the odds mo derate, and the backers numerous and "sweet." The Ashtead Pet, now the property of Mr. Osbaldiston, and Pompey, are also strongly fancied, and divers ponies, tens, and smaller sums, have been laid out on The Artful Dodger, Glossy, and Advice, at the prices appended :- 5 to 2 agst Rowena—taken freely 3 to 1 agst Mickey Free 7 to 1 agst Ashtead Pot 7 to 1 agst Pompey 10 to 1 agst Artful Dodger 12 to 1 agst Glossy 12 to 1 agst Advice. CORRANNA AND FOIG-A-BALLIGH.—This match, however it may terminate ultimately, is not likely to come to a race. Mr. Irwin attended at the rooms at six o'clock this evening, and repeatedly declared that he should hold Mr. Collett to his engagement, and a simi lar declaration was made on his part by Mr. O'Brien, Mr. Collett not being present. About a quarter before nine, he again came to the rooms and repeated his declaration to severel parties, but could not find Mr. Collett; that gentleman, however, entered the room about six minutes to nine, and on the return of Mr. Irwin (who had been looking for him), about four minutes before nine, to communicate with him personally, informed him that he was too late, his agreement to stand to the offer up to Tuesday night having been intended to remain good only to the same time at which it was made, viz., five minutes before nine, the time entered in his betting-book. Mr. Irwin denies that there was any such understand ing, but, admitting such to have been the case, con sidered that the repeated declarations he had made were quite sufficient to make the agreement binding, ' an opinion in which a large majority of those present, coincided. lie declares his intention to hold Mr. ' Collett to the match for 1,000 sous. each, pp., to walk i over on Friday, and to enforce the payment of the money. CAPTAIN WARNER AND THE GOVERNMENT. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. thank you for your fair and impartial treatment of my case, and shall feel obliged if you will publish the inclosed letter, which I addressed to Sir Robert Peel on the 25th of May, 1842, and which, from some cause unaccountable to me, has been omitted from the printed correspondence between myself and the G overnmen t. It will, at any rate, repel the charge so frequently, but so falsely, made against me, that I wish payment to precede proof. Another letter, also important for my justification, has been omitted, which I addressed to Sir Robert Peel on the sth of August, 1842, in consequence of Mr. Brotherton's statements in the House of Com mons, on the faith of anonymous correspondents, that I had acted a deceptive part at Oporto. This 1 will ask your permission to publish in your columns ano. ther am, Sir, your obliged and obedien servant, London, Sept. 17. ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS. A day of extreme bustle and excitement has a length come to a close, and we are now only re. minded of one of the most eventful St. Legers on re. cord by the rattle of departing carriages, and the anxious, care-worn countenances of those who, a few hours back, were buoyant with hope and expectation. What the " settling" will do towards restoring their serenity remains to be seen. But to retrace our steps, and begin with the beginning. We have already mentioned that Colonel Anson has called upon the Stewards to direct an inspection of Foigh-a-bal lagh's mouth previous to starting, with a view to determine his age; accordingly, under the authority of the new rule, an appointment was made for eight o'clock this morning, and Mr. Lord and Mr. Axe, two respectable veterinary surgeons of Doncaster, were selected to make the examination. At the time fixed the parties interested met at the Salutation, and every facility having been afforded by Mr. Irwin and his trainer, the horse was put to the required test, and, without hesitation on the part of either of the examiners, was pronounced to be only three years old. We should state, in conclusion of this portion of our subject, that the reason given by Colonel Anson for adopting this proceeding is, that as Mr. Forth had " trained and started a four-year old colt for the Derby, and a four-year old filly for the Oaks, without knowing that they were four years old, he might possibly make a similar mistake for the St. Leger ;" we have reason to be lieve, too, that for any race in which Colonel Anson and Mr. Forth may have horses engaged, the Colonel intends to pursue the same course. Meantime, the demonstrations of a "grand day" had developed them selves in the most decisive and satisfactory manner ; the morning, although lowering, was fine, and the night mail-trains having brought a large accession of company, the place was early astir ; as the day ad vanced, fresh streams poured in from all quarters of the compass, insomuch that, by eleven o'clock, the streets were almost impassable, and the stately car riages and six alone were wanting to carry us back to the best days of Doncaster. The betting room, the centre of attraction, from ten o'clock until one was ciiowded, but amidst the Babel-like noise and confusion that prevailed, so indefinite was the state of the mirket from the desperate attempts of some to " get out," and of others to make bad " worse," that it was equally difficult to discover in what direction " the ring" was to be found, or when found, to obtain a correct knowledge of what was going on. By dint of squeezing and perseverance, however, we did contrive to make out that several even bets were laid between the favourite and the field, but that they continued on precisely the same terms as on Monday night, the field on the general betting having a shade the best of' it. Foig-a-bal high sprung to 4 to 1, and The Princess to 5 to 1, both with strong parties. The feeling towards Red Deer was less favourable, 6 to 1 and in some quarters half a point more having been laid against him; Lightning was at 5 to 1, and no others were mentioned. About one o'clock the mob inside and out dispersed, and the race-course became the rendezvous. To describe the scene there, would be to repeat an oft-told tale, and would be weari some to the reader ; we will, therefore, dispense with a spun-out preliminary, and content ourselves with stating generally, that the Grand Stand and its in closure, roof, balcony, and every nook and corner per taining to it, were crowded to suffocation ; the Club and Stewards' Stands in their smaller capacities were not less fully occupied, and the course, in all other respects, displayed equally tangible proofs of the almost unrivalled attractions of Doncaster, and of an inherent devotion to the sport. If circumstances permitted it, we should in S. A. WARNER CAPTAIN WARNER TO SIR ROBERT PEEL. Sir,—ln consequence of the erroneous assertions respectir , my claims and discoveries, made in the house of Commons, and also in consequence of the unfortunate misapprehension of my real meaning by the Commissioners appointed through the Master- General of the Ordnance to examine into my inven tions, I humbly venture to request your personal attention to the following brief statement of my posi tion and intentions. Firstly, I beg leave to assure you that I am perfectly willing to demonstrate the efficacy and applicability to practical purposes of my discoveries ; but I must be permitted to suggest that course of experiments to illustrate their powers which, from my knowledge of their nature, I conceive to be on every ground most expedient This the Commissioners refuse, and, unacquainted Nith the nature of the agents I employ, insist upon my adopting a line of demonstration quite unsuited to my inventions, which must afford hints of their nature, or at any rate, of the mode of putting them into operation, to others besides the two officers in question, and moreover would involve a risk of hu man life. But I repeat my readiness to undertake, at some spot to be hereafter agreed upon, with proper precautions against accidents or disclosure, to render any roadstead, or h ar b our ' s mou th impass able river way, without the certain destruction of any vessel at tempting to force a passage ; and I undertake to de monstrate the facility with which I can destroy any number of ships under weigh in any given circum stances of weather, position, or depth of water. May I beg . the favour of a personal interview, if you prefer it, in the presence of the Master-General of the Ordnance, which, V you grant me, I believe I could readily convince you of my ability to perform all I promise, and also could assign reasons which would be satisfactory to you, and also to Sir G. Mur ray, why I decline entering upon all my discoveries simultaneously, for my refusal to do which I have been censured, and doubts have been cast upon my veracity and capability. When Admiral Sir Byam Martin and General Sir Howard Douglas were proposed to me as Commis sioners to inquire into my inventions, I suggested the addition of Lord Haidwicke, Lord Ingestre, and Sir George Murray; but, as this addition was objected to, I withdrew my proposal, being sincerely anxious to meet the wishes of Government as far as I could. But since the interruption occasioned by Sir Ed ward Owen's departure for the Mediterranean, after an investigation had been commenced before him and Sig LlowaTtl Douglas, and other eireumstances,-) must now stipulate for the addition of a third Commis sioner. I would suggest the present Muter-General of the Ordnance, on account of his high official rank, but I will presume to say no more, only to withdraw Lord Hardwicke or Lord Ingestre, who, it may be insinuated, are disposed to take a too favourable view of the value of my inventions. I am reluctant to trespass further upon your time, but may I be permitted to inform you that a very great exaggeration of my claims for remuneration has gone abroad, which you will at once discover if you will inspect the correspondence which has passed be tween myself and the Government since the 2d of November last ? In a paper bearing the last named date, which I carefully prepared for the consideration of her Ma jasty's Government in accordance with a plan laid down by Sir G. Murray, and handed to me by Lord Hardwicke, which I transmitted to that Noble Lord with an earnest request that it might be brought im mediately under Sir Robert Peel's own eye, I speci fied two sums, of 200,0001. each, as the price at which I valued two distinct inventions respectively. An un fair prominence has been given to the aggregate amount of 400,0001., without any reference to the limitations under which the offer was made, or any clear understanding of the permanent value to the Government to be secured by the second invention without further cost, and I have been pronounced mercenary and exorbitant in my demands, as if I had nakedly asked for 400,0001. as the price of some single implement of war applicable merely to a single purpose, or as a condition precedent to entering upon any reasonable experiment to demonstrate the value of what I offered. _ _ _ I put this price on my inventions, in the first in stance, to show my own estimate of their importance to the country, and not, I beg leave to say, in order that I might derive a mercenary bargain. To convince you of this, I refer you to the follow ing modification of my demand, which you will find in a letter I addressed to Sir Byam Martin and Sir Howard Douglas, on the 6th instant. For convenience, I here quote the words :—" With respect to amount of remuneration, if I can destroy at so inconsiderable an outlay, and so expeditiously, both fleets and fortifications, the price of three line of•battle ships is not, I submit, an excessive demand upon the generosity of a great nation like this, on the part of a man who has spent his all in the prosecution of discoveries which he now offers to her service. I will, however, on this head, abide by the decision of Sir G. Murray himself, and if any financial difficul ties interpose in the way of any direct promise of money, I am willing to accept the undertaking of the Premier, that, in the event of my discoveries demon strating my ability to make good my professions, he will himself recommend to Parliament a grant of such remuneration as may have been previously agreed upon." If you have not already perused the document of the 2d of November last, which I specially prepared for your own consideration, I respectfully request you will now read it, for I have therein set forth the saving in ships, stores, &c., and I may subjoin, the saving in time—by being prepared, at any moment, to strike a required blow, which my invention would effect, for the public service : and I flatter myself, that if I can convince you of my ability to perform what I under take, you will not regard my first appraisement of my inventions excessive. But to show my readiness to facilitate any ar rangement that may place the benefit of my inven tions at the national service, I am contented to leave the question of amount to your decision as to what you may consider under all the circumstances of my case, and with reference to the value of my disco veries, the rate of my remuneration ought fairly to be, subject to the following stipulations, viz., the ap pointment of a third Commissioner, and a personal conference with yourself, where I may explain in confidence to you the course I conceive it safest to take, and receive your assurance that in the event of my performing what I undertake, the matter shall not, after examination and disclosure, be cast aside, and myself left without reward, on the plea that I have shown enough to enable my plans to be worked out without further co-operation on my part. A fear of such a possibility may be ill-founded, but it was engendered in my mind by an observation which fell from one of the two present Commissioners, who virtually, though not in terms, require an uncon ditional surrender of all my secrets, without any gua rantee for the smallest remuneration, whatever may be the success of my demonstrations. To this unqualified surrender I cannot consent, nor do I believe that you would require it were you per sonally acquainted with all the facts of my case With an anxious hope that you will grant me the in. terview I solicit, I remain, Sir, your most obedien and humble servant, May 25, 1842. S. A. WARNER. IMPORTANT TO MARINERS. NEW REVOLVING LIGHT ON BERDIANKA POINT, TAGANROG. By the following extract of a letter received at Lloyd's from the British Vice -Consul at Taganrog, it appears that the fact of a new light having been placed on Ber dianka Point, coast of Russia, is not generally known to mariners : " Taganrog, Aug. 16, 1844. " Some masters of British vessels recently arrived in this port, have informed me that that they have been much perplexed by the new revolving light placed on the Berdianka Point not being marked on the chart, nor noted in the Book of Instructions." DESPERATE AFFRAY WITH POACHERS.—PLYMOUTH, SEPT. 17.—Yesterday three poachers were brought up before Colonel Mudge and G. W. Solton, Esq., county magistrates, at the George Inn, Ridgeway, near Ply. mouth, charged with a desperate assault on three of the gamekeepers belonging to the Earl of Morley, under the following circumstances :—lt appears that on Friday night last one of the gamekeepers while perambulating the grounds of the Earl of Morley, called Cann Wood, is the parish of Egg Buckland, met with one of the prisoners, when a desperate encounter between them ensued, the result of which was that the latter was for a time disabled, and the gamekeeper hearing a noise in the neighbourhood proceeded thither, where he found two of his fellow-keepers engaged in a similar encounter with the other two prisoners and a third person, who es caped. The other prisoner in a short time having some what recovered, rejoined his companions, and the struggle which took place between them and the gamekeepers was a very severe one. One of the keepers was dan gerously wounded, and the others much beaten, and one of the prisoners was so severely cut about the head and neck that it was found necessary to have his wounds dressed before he could be brought up for examination. The prisoners, whose names are James Sanders, John Langdon, and George Davy, were quay porters at Ply • mouth, principally engaged in unloading corn vessels. After the necessary depositions had been taken before the magistrates, the three prisoners were fully committed to the county gaol at Exeter, to take their trial at the next county assizes. Two persons have been taken up on suspicion of being the fourth party concerned in the affray, and who, as before stated, had contrived to es cape, but from their not answering the description given by the gamekeepers they were discharged. Every exer tion is being made to discover the party who escaped, who, it is hoped, will not long escape the ends of justice. The keeper who was most severely wounded still re mains in a precarious state. ARTHIR ARUNDEL, A TALE OF THE ENGLISH REVOLUTION.

It touches the confines of that period he has already so ably used, but, by laying the chief incidents in the intriguing days of the weak and headstrong James 11., ho has had an opportunity of blending the two eras, and of marking the gradual change in manners and morals, which preceded the landing of the Prince of Orange. The character of the hero is charmingly drawn. The influence of his personal defects upon an otherwise generous and confiding nature is beautifully delineated, and the acts of his varied life !all flow naturally from the one-prevailing sentiment. — Morning Chronicle. CONFLAGRATION OF A FARM.—On Thursday night a fire broke out at West End Farm, Branfield, in the occupation of Mr. Clapham, which destroyed all the barns and buildings, and the whole of the crops, which were housed. It appears that on Thursday afternoon, Mr. Clapham went to a cricket match at Hertingford bury, and returned in company with Mr. C. Haines, about ten o'clock at night. On arriving at home, Mr. Clapham directed the boys in his service to take the horse out of the chaise ; the boys proceeded to obey their master's directions, carrying with them a lantern and candle, which they set down under a shed, adjacent to the wheat barn, for a few minutes, while they took the horse out. Shortly after this, Mr. Clapham retired to his bed-room, but had not been long there, when he observed from the window that some portion of his pre mises was on fire ; this was shortly after eleven o'clock. The household were immediately alarmed, but, in spite of their exertions, twenty minutes had scarcely elapsed before the whole of the farm-buildings were enveloped in one huge mantle of fire. The property destroyed comprises barns, cow-house, stables, coach-houses, seven carts, a waggon, &c. The value of the property de stroyed is estimated at 8001. Mr. Clapham is insured for 6001. The house is also so much injured that it must be rebuilt. The horses, &c., were safely got out, but a sow and nine pigs were, unfortunately, destroyed. There appears to be no doubt that the fire was quite accidental, as it originated in the wheat hovel, near which the boys put down their lantern.—Essex Herald. THE ADMINISTRATION OF SINDE TO THE EDITOR OP THE TIMES. Sir,—Your " Correspondent of the Deccan," ins Lead of giving, asks you for information about Sinde, and seems to be really in great need of it. He calls the assembly of twenty thousand Beloochee chiefs at Hyderabad " a poor affair, and thinly attended." You may tell him, if you please, that the attendance of so many wild and war like chieftains, even " without their tails," in prompt obedience to a simple proclamation of Sir Charles Napier, is no unmeaning proof of the complete subj u gation of Sinde; it made the Government better acquainted with their force, and to a certain extent with their persons—it gave them confidence—they are now convinced that no treachery was intended; a point which, from their own habits, they could not pre viously feel sure of ; and as 1,600 chiefs who had never before offered any formal submission came volun tarily forward on this occasion and made their "sa laam" to the portrait of her Majesty that graces the palace at Hyderabad, such an expression of submissive confidence on one hand, and power on the other, inde pendent of other advantages, can only be designated as " a poor affair" by simple ignorance or male volence. The only apprehension that Sir Charles Napier would appear to have had about the result of this congregation, notwithstanding all his praise worthy precautions, was, that the chiefs, judging from their own barbarous usage (or rather that of the Ameers), might, perhaps, suspect him of intentional treachery, and disperse ere the ceremony took place. This would, most assuredly, have produced a painful and not easily removed distrust throughout the country, and obstructed its tranquillity. Now all runs smooth ; former confidence is strengthened ; the moral power of Government is increased; and a certain degree of personal acquaintance with more intimate communi cation is established between the British authorities and the native aristocracy. As an instance of native treachery and sense of justice, it may be recollected that Ali Morad, sometime ago, invited certain hill chieftains to a conference at Sewan, and murdered many. Seven teen were sent prisoners to Hyderabad, in the expectation of their being dealt as hardly by as he had treated their companions. Sir Charles Napier was furious, as might be supposed, at this treachery. He compelled Ali Morad to make them all the amends in his power, and immediately libe rated them in full Durbar. A chief amongst them (Goolam Mahomet Khan, I think, but am not cer tain) incredulously asked the Moonshee if he were really free, and on being assured of it, hastily quitted the assembly, crossed the Indus, and hurried off to his native hills, proclaiming the Governor's justice, and vowing that no clansman of his should again lift a weapon against the Feringees. When lately, from some misapprehension of orders, the little failure of Tait and Fitzgerald occurred at Poolagee, this power ful leader instantly offered to attack the chief of that place, who was his enemy, with 5,000 men, and has, I believe, kept that robber in continual check ever since, in which he will probably persevere until the cooler season enables Sir C. Napier, if necessary, to go in person against not only him but the whole hand of foreign marauders, that have of late been plunder ing the defenceless villages beyond the Indus. Your correspondent also requires information about the Sinde Government. You may assure him that Sinde is governed for less than 100,0001. a-year, or a quarter of its revenue, and well governed, leaving a surplus of 300,0001. in the public treasury, with the prospect of its income ere long reaching 1,000,0001. sterling. In this cheap Government the cost of more than 1,800 native police is included, all well armed and disciplined, who execute their duties without military support, and carry capital sentences into effect with ease and safety, even amongst the most wild and distant of the Beloochee chieftains, and far away from all military assistance. By this newly organised force, only five months, I think, after the conquest, a highland chief and two of his followers were hung on the same gallows, in the heart of his, territory, and in his own village, by a force of but 40 police, and 100 miles distant from any troops. This was for the robbery and murder of an Armenian merchant, and the chief was brought up a prisoner to Hyderabad by his own tribe, in obedience to a simple message from the Governor, who employs no soldiers in such matters or in the collection of revenue, but solely in military purposes. A mole of two miles in length is completed, or nearly completed, at Kura chee' to the great convenience and solid advantage of that harbour and town, which is fast rising into an important and comparatively populous settlement, and will, moreover, soon be enriched by the termination of a canal which is to unite it with Tattah, on the Indus. Surveys and levels, which are both difficult and ex pensive in that climate, proceed in all directions as rapidly as health and a burning sun will allow. Mea sures are also in progress to re-conduct a stream from the Indus, about forty miles above Sukkur, through an ancient branch into the bed of the Narra river, on the confines of the desert, which is ex pected, in the course of time, to fertilise a long and im portant margin of that sandy waste. Large and airy barracks, with massive walls and lofty chambers to mitigate the deadly heat, are in the course of erection. This is a great expense, but necessary for the soldier's health and preservation, to say nothing of his comfort. Such money is well expended, even in a mere eco nomical calculation, to preserve a material instrument of war, for a soldier is the most costly article of Go vernment, and should be well taken care of on that account, if neglected (as they too often are) as fellow creatures. Sites are marked out for martello towers and other fortresses, in order that a certain number of strong defensive positions may be occupied by very few troops, while the remainder of the army remains concentrated on the healthiest posts of communication, ready to act when wanted, but removed as far as possible from the river's pernicious influence. Hos pitals, on the same principle as the barracks, are in progress of building in the most healthy situations, as far as these can be determined by present experience; but the Governor and medical men have still to feel their way on this important point, and therefore health and military position are as much as possible united. The price of labour has risen considerably; taxes have been lowered and are col lected without difficulty, in most cases, by the same officers employed under the Ameers, but strictly watched by British officers, civil and military, who act both as protectors to the people and guardians of the Government's interests. The revenue is gradually improving; the people relieved from great oppression; the roads safe ; British officers go shooting over the country, secure of attention and civility from natives of all ranks and conditions. Commerce is free, and gains are secure, which engages the good-will of the Hindoos—an acute and penetrating race, who get at all secret transactions. Labour is free, which insures the attachment of the hitherto much and still partially oppressed: race of peasantry; and the Beloochee landholders being now guaranteed in their pos sessions, which was not so under the Ameers, are, with the exception, perhaps, of some great chieftains, all well contented with the change. Murder, espe cially of their wives (a thing hitherto so common amongst the Beloochee tribes as scarcely to be con sidered reprehensible), and their inveterate habits of robbery, have been greatly checked, and fate, which is always their excuse for crime, is beginning to be at a discount in Sinde. A stern and unflinching jus tice is administered, yet so friendly a feeling has been established between conquerors and conquered, that the police can generally depend on the aid of the Be loochee himself in cases of emergency. A few ex amples will illustrate the above points. Two police men deserted with their arms; two others were sent after them. They overtook the deserters in a distant place, and attempted to capture them • the latter re sisted, on which the policemen called to some Be loochees who happened to be in the neighbouring field, who immediately came to their assistance; the two deserters were disarmed and led away prisoners to Hyderabad. At the recent great meeting an old man was ob served endeavouring to force his way through the crowd, crying out, " I will see him, I will see him ; I have come 200 miles to see him, and I will see him." In the midst of that crowd (who, be it remembered, do not consider assassination as a crime) stood the confi dent and unguarded Governor, who, if there had been any great towards the English, was open to, and probably would have felt, the dagger of some bar barian. On another occasion the inhabitants of a cer tain village complained of a policeman, whose miscon duct was, after ',due investigation, proved ; the culprit was escorted back to the scene of his delinquency, and, before the assembled population, had his uniform stripped from his back, and corporal punishment in flicted, with an instantaneous dismissal from the corps. The villagers stared. They expected some redress, but no punishment for so great a man as the Gover nor's officer. A strong feeling of satisfaction and sur prise broke out into such exclamations as—" This is justice I" " This is real justice !"—thus showing their appreciation of an evidently new and no less pleasing feature of public government. These are feathers, Sir, but they show how the wind sets, and indicate the working of the public mind, As to the administration of civil law and PUBLICATIONS.

To do this in a foreign country we consider much more difficult than in our own, and, from the knowledge we ourselves possess of Paris and its popu lation, he seems to have stndied them with the discrimination of Paul de Kock, and has produced a work quite as entertaining, with out any of those blemishes which prevent the indiscriminate perusal of the French author.
