By the overland mail from India, we have re ceived Calcutta Journals of the 13th, Madras of the 19th, and Bombay papers of the 28th of Oc tober, bringing highly interesting intelligence from the East. Four thousand Arabs had attacked the English garrison at Aden, consisting only of 400 e ) men, and compelled them to retire into the fortress; but though the Arabs suffered dreadfully, the English lost not a single man. On the 18th of Sep tember the Bombay troops having established the Shah SOOJA 11-00L-MOOLK on the throne i of Cabul, left Ghiznee on their return home. They i were expected to reach Quetta on the 25th, where they were to remain for a few days to depose the Khan of KELAT, and replace him by a Chief less hostile to England. This resolution was adopted in consequence of the discovery having been made that the reigning Khan had directed the whole of the hostilities offered to our army in its advance upon Cabul, and particularly that he plotted the surprises of our men, and swept the country of pro visions. The Bombay army was under the command of Gen. WILLSHIRE, -who had more to apprehend from the early setting in of the winter, than from the hostility of the inhabitants of the country through which he had to pass. The Bengal di vision, which continued at Cabul, was preparing to leave that city for the Upper Provinces, with the exception of some troops ordered to remain for the protection of the SHAH, under the command of the British Resident. General Sir JOHN KEANE was to accompany the division as far as Att ock, from whence he was to proceed to Bombay, and thence to England, with Sir HENRY FANG, in the Malabar, announced to sail in January. Mr. INVNAUGHTEN was to remain as Am bassador to the SHAH at Cabul. Captain, Sir ALEXANDER BURNES was t• proceed to Candahar, where his diplomatic talents had; been before so profitably employed. Lieutenant POT TINGER, at Herat, had arranged a commercial treaty with KA &IRANI, which he had forwarded for ratification to Lord AUCKLAND. A very favourable commercial treaty has likewise been arranged with the Government of Lahore, securing to British merchants the navigation of the Sutlegde branch of the Indus, hut fears were entertained of a civil war in that country. NEHAL SIXGH, the heir appa rent to the throne, and Mau& w SINGH, the Prime Minister, are at loggerheads, and if they come to blows, nothing is more certain than that the intervention of England will be invoked, per haps by both parties. This may suspend for a time the advantages of the commercial treaty, but in the end they will be more than realised by the prepon derance of British influence in the Punjaub. The murder of Colonel HERRING, of the 37th Regiment Beng a l Native Infantry, about 40 miles from Cabul, ; 3 in great measure attributable to the indiscretion of that gallant offices. The lament. able details will be found below. But by far the most important news from India is the discovery of a co nsp i racy at Kurnoul in the Deccan, which must have had for its object the overthrow of the British Power in India. We copy below, from the Madras Spectator Extraor dinary of the I4th and 19th of October, a curious made by t h e account of the immense preparati ons Nabob of KURNOUL to take the field against the English—preparations which he never could have carried on ; save in concert with the other Native Chiefs. Kurnoul is an independant M o h an ,. "sedan principality, the fort of which is about two hundred and seventy . miles north-west of Madras. The Governor-General having re ceived certain information that a scheme was on foot, directed by the Nabob, for organising a ge neral rising against the power of England, a force wag simultaneously marched against the fortress of 11 Coraonl sod Joudpore, which were surrendered without firing a shot. The result proved the wis dom- of the Governor -General's prompt decision.

As for the SHAH himself .he remained at Teheran, a helpless witness of ay.: disorders of his kingdom, fomented by the intri' o des of Russian agents. EKTZRESTING INTELLIGENCE FROM KURNOUL. MADRAS, MONDAY, Oct. 14, 1839. Dar intelligence from Kurnoul this morning is o sue 1 high interest th a t we d eem i ts commun i cat i on i n an E rim will be acceptable to our readers. On Saturday last it was understood at the Presi mcy that an express had arrived, announcing the quiet a ad unresisted occupation of the Kurnoul Fort by our t roops, but that the Nuwaub bad been laid hold of and carried off a prisoner by his own Patens, who vowed they would not give him up until he paid them their arrears. This was confirmed by letters received yesterday. It appears that the troops (consisting of the 51st regiment Native Infantry, two companies of her Majesty's 39th, two companies of the 16th Native Infantry, a troop of the 7th Light Cavalry, and a detachment of Sappers and Miners) marched in on the night of the 6th instant, without the least did. tnrbance occurring on the occasion. The Rohillas and Patens were previously turned out of the fort ; and, on the following morning, these collected round the gate, refused to let the Nawaub enter as he wished, declared they would not part with him until they were paid up their arrears, and finally they carried him off into the Pettah. The artillery at that time found in the fort was very insignificant. There were a good many swivel wall pieces, but only seven or eight brass and iron field pieces of small calibre. It was generally suspected, however, that much lay concealed, and the result of the labours of a committee, appointed to search, was accordingly looked forward to with impatient curiosity, Their discoveries did, indeed, prove most extraordinary and important ; and, to convey a knowledge of their quality and extent, we will now quote direct from our correspondent's letter of date the 9th instant : The discoveries have been almost exclusively con fined to the Nuwaub's Zenana, which proves to be a perfect arsenal upon a most extended scale ; and you will stare to read that there have been found concealed in various ways—underground and in godowns, whose doors and entrances had been built up—between 400 and 500 pieces of artillery, of which fully 100 are in such a sta t e of equipment as to be ready for active ser vice in the field at a few days' warning. " A great many exceedingly well-constructed fur naces are now standing in perfect order for casting guns and shot, and the of many more have been found in various places. An immense quantity of shot of all sizes, grape and canister, langridge, hand grenades, and shells of various diameters—all made of a species of pew ter, but containing more lead and less zinc than the compound so called usually does, have been found ; while of copper, lead, and zinc, a considerable store has been ferretted out. Several very fine brass guns (I should mention that almost the whole of the pieces found in the fort are of brass) have been dug up, and two mortars of the same metal, which for size, and perhaps also for bpauty of casting, promise to rank as the most remark able of their genus in Europe. The bore of the largest is ti.venl y-,ix inches, thickness of metal nine inches, and length from muzzle to cascabel about seven feet. The other has a bore of twenty-two and a half inches, and the other dimensions in proportion. A great many muskets, musket locks (English), pistols (ditto), and swords hate also been turned up ; heaps of cartridges ready to be Ailed ; also port fires, fuzees, fire balls, slow matches, a large store of sulphur, rosin, fine charcoal for gunpowder; in short, every material required to constitute a large and most valuable arsenal are here ; and it is evident, from the workmanship of bis gun carriages and limbers, the beauty and correctness of casting, and (in many cases) boring of his euns, the construction of his furnaces, and the general order and arrangement of this most extraordi n o-y military workshop and ' storehouse, that the master hand has been that of a practised and scientific man, whose subordinates must have been artificers well quali fied to condnct gun founding and carriage building, as well as laboratory work, in all their departments. The most remarkable and important conclusion which isat once drawn from the development, as far as it has proceeded of this most stupendous plot, is, that the aim of the Nu waub or his coadjutors has been to produce an efficient and rowerful train of artillery, not so much for the de fence of this fort as for active field service—which it needs little scope of imagination to conclude would at the fitting time have been undertaken to work out the subversion and overthrow of the British dynasty in India. The majority of the guns are of small calibre, principally of four and six pounders, and of these in one godown, the entrances to which had been carefuliy built up, were found 44, very efficiently mounted on light field carriages quite fit for immediate use ; while in the same place were 42 carriages of a like descrip tion, evidently only recently completed and ready to receive their guns and coats of paint. It is difficult from a hasty survey to form anything which one might venture to consider a correct opinion, as to the period over which this manufacture of warlike engines and stores has extended ; some have the appearance of con siderable age, while many, especially of the brass six pounders and nearly the whole of the pewter round shot from the little oxidization visible on their surface, and which long exposure to the atmosphere would have produced to a considerable extent, convey the impression that the furnaces which have been found have within a very short period, possibly two or three months, been in full operation ; and when we consider that this really gigantic magazine, from which the implements for the destruction of our empire were to have sprung, has been collecting and increasing daily in strength and extent, almost in the very heart of our dominions, in a manner so stealthy as to have been (of course until lately) scarcely suspected by the Govern tnent and their authorities, we are lost in astonishment at the extent and power of the resources which have furnished the means to dig so tremendous a mine beneath our feet, and in wonder and conjecture as to the time and the agents to be chosen or created for its explosion. " We cannot at the same time, I think, fail to ad mire the prudent foresight exhibited by the Govern ment in having taken so promptly the steps which have led to so complete a development (the unravelment re ' mains yet behind) of this extraordinary conspiracy, which, at the period of the arrival of the Commis sioners, was evidently in a state so ripe as to require only the hand to the plough' to burst with astounding fury over Southern India. From whence the men were to be collected to wield the enormous engine which has here been prepared, and what connection this averted storm has had with the dark clouds which have so re cently lowered around our horizon, remain yet as mys teries in the womb of time ; and while it furnishes a striking passing commentary upon the false policy of over-weeaing confidence in the security of our own strength and wisdom, and in the weakness and ignorance of our subjugated foes, it also affords matter for earnest congratulation that this last strong hold of the Mus sulman—the only one perhaps, within the limits of our territority in which, under the most impe netrable disguise of the secrecy and sacredness of the Zenana, so extraordinary a' scheme could have been carried on towards completion—ha s now passed from him." Our correspondent adds, on the same day, that no store or magazine of powder had, up to that time, been found, though a great many cartridges of all sorts were discovered in the boxes of the limbers of such guns as were out of the Zenana, and apparently ready for ac tion. It was expected, however, that something of im portance would be discovered on the following day, a s it had been ascertained that the Vizier, wh o ac t e d as a guide to the Committee, was playing them tricks and turning them away from several places which they w i s h e d to examine on the plea of their containing only women. In effect a few lines, dated the 10th, inform us that about 40,000 lbs. of very excellent powder and a large store of nitre and sulphur had been discovered that morning in a godown, and more will doubtless soon turn up. At this last date the Nuwaub was still outside the Fort, but his two brothers were within. One of these, Khader Khan, was made use of to point out the secret places of the Zenana—the other Ahmed Khan, is an unfortunate man, who had been confined to his palace ' for the space of four years by his cruel brother. In the course of the explorations in the Zenana several captives were discovered, who were all liberated; these comprised whole familiesold and young men, women hoop place might, being m and children—and some said they bad been immured so long as sixteen years. originally already mentioned the small extent of artil lery found in the fort. There were positively no guns excep tion of t n i wn ou o n r t t e h d re o e n b t r h as e s ra n m in p e a p rt n s u , n a d n e d r , a wanitdh three e large unwieldy towers, the w a lls iron were es unarmed.on the platforms The o r f a t m h elevated eparts arc makin g n y no hi gh great an and represented as exwpeellnseb,ubilet, ren dered that the capable of very a stout defence, even apinst a well equi g pp e a d si S tu u a c t h ion a , c r e :, sideration, with the other advantagersmoyi THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1839. that it possesses, would seem to render the (so under stood) intended demolition of its walls a matter of rather questionable policy. The Nuwaub, we hear. has left traces of ibis having been accustomed to live in great comfort, and even splendour, though no jewels or trea sure had yet been discovered. His palace and gardens are arranged with much taste, but the passion for col lecting military stores and guns peeps forth everywhere —shot, shells, and field-pieces mingling with ornamental avenues and flower-pots. The heat in the fort was excessive, but the troops there were generally in a healthy state, only a very slight symptom of cholera having appeared. The luxury of having the Toombuddra for a bath promised to tend to keep them all well. We regret, however, to learn the death in camp at Codamoor, on the 6th, of Lieutenant Philips, of her Majesty's 39th Regiment. (From the Madras Spectator of Oct. 19.) . . The question of the Emancipation of the British Jews, to which a Correspondent at Leith has called our attention, is not one which could be advan tageously discussed in the present feverish state of the public mind. Nothing can be done for the Jews beyond what has been done by the Reformers, till they pluck up courage to do more for them selves. With the exception of one most respect able Hebrew family, the head of which has filled, for several years, the office of Chairman of the Jewish Emancipation Society, it would be difficult to point out a member of the Hebrew community who has really per formed a tithe of what it was in his power to achieve towards the emancipation of himself and his co-religionists. " GOD helps them that help themselves," is a maxim as true in the pursuit of civil liberty as in the more worldly quest of an ho nest competency. If the Jews be content to rest their claims simply upon their abstract justice, we venture to predict that they will see them disre garded so long as England boasts of a State Hierarchy. Nothing can exceed the liberality in words of our Protestant priesthood, but when it comes to something more tangible than words —to deeds, they reverse the rule of FAL STAFF, and are liberal—upon compulsion. They yield to conviction when—.they cannot help it, as they did in the case of the Roman Catholics. Now although the British Jews are not by any means so numerous as were the Roman Catholics in 1829, and therefore not in a condition to frighten the Duke of WELLINGTON into a surrender of their rights; yet having fewer prejudices to contend against, were they to unite firmly and determinately together to effect their emancipation, there is nothing more certain than that they would succeed in their laudable object, and that too in an inconceivably short time. Every thing is pos sible to the zealous, the persevering, and the reso lute in a good cause. The Jews have only to begin the work of emancipation in a bold, uncompromising, and lofty spirit ; trusting more in their moral strength, and less in the efficacy of their money, and the liberal professions of the Members of the Government, and their Emancipation will as natu rally follow that of the Catholics, as did the free dom of the Catholics the Repeal of the Dis senters' Test and Corporation Acts. We invite the attention of our Dissenting readers to a letter from Mr. JOHN CHILDS, which appears in another part of The Sun. The active part Mr. CHILDS has taken in the Church rate question, and the exertions he has made to rouse the public sympathy in favour of JOHN THOROGOOD, naturally point him out as an object of censure to those who " have no stomach for the fight," and whose inaction and cowardice, whether arising from lukewarmness in the cause, or from motives of a still less creditable nature, are indi rectly rebuked by his energy and boldness. It will be seen, by our Correspondent's letter, that he has incurred the displeasure of an obscure weekly print, called the Patriot, in the columns of which he has, as might have been expected, been misrepresented and abused. We do not sup pose that he cares much for this ; he ought indeed to regard it as the highest compliment that could be paid to his conduct, and the surest proof that he is pursuing the right course. How triumphantly Mr. CHILDS has scattered to the winds the charges made against him by this self-styled organ of the Dissenters we need not say. A glance at his letter will convince the reader. Good were it for the Patriot and its pet Societies, could they as easily defend themselves against the battery of stubborn facts which he brings to bear upon them. Th e Paris Journals of Sunday, the whole of which have been received, are wholly occupied with the war in Africa. The Zloniteur publishes a telegraphic dispatch, announcing the embarkation at Marseilles of the whole of the 58th regiment for Algiers. In the Commerce we find the following interesting summary of the news from French Africa, as far as it was known to the French Press, on Sunday : " The Vautour packet, which left Algiers on the 30th of November, reached Toulon early in the morn ing of the 4th December, with dispatches from Marshal Vallee. The Ministry, therefore, might have given us news from Africa two days ago. Letters from Toulon announce that the intelligence brought by the Vautour is of an afflicting nature. The following are,. ex tracts : On the 30th November at Algiers firing was heard at a distance. It appears that all our troops were fighting with the forces of Abd-el-Bader, which maintain their ground in the country. All who come from the scene of combat are immediately, on reaching Algiers, put under a species of arrest by the authorities, to pre- rent any knowledge of what - is going on at a distance from becoming public. This is done to prevent the great discouragement which is already prevailing among the European inhabitants, from increasing. There is not a single soldier at Algiers ; the guard of the towr. and its police are intrusted to the settlers, who are a prey to the greatest anxiety ; while the delight of the Moorish population, amounting to at least 20,000 men, cannot easily be described. A certain degree of uneasiness prevails in the town respecting the hostile attitude of the fanatical Moors, but as we are masters of the forts which command the town, we have nothing to fear. All the crews of the divers vessels in Algiers roads are on shore, i❑ order to give their assistance to the Europeans, should an insurrection take place. Steamers have been sent to Oran to bring back to Algiers all the troops not absolutely necessary for its defence. The camps in the vieinit.v of Oran have been abandoned. The Courrier Francais states that, several deputies and Peers had waited on the Duke of Orleans and entreated his Royal Highness not to yield to the de sire he had manifested of taking the command of a division in the next campaign against Abd-el-Kader. We have received the Mon►teur Algericn of the 30th of November. It publishes a general order of Marshal Vallee, dated the 28th. The Marshal acquaints the army with a letter, dated the 19th of November, which he had received from the King, respecting the expedi tion to the Iron Gates. The King in this letter expresses the warm interest he takes in Algeria. The Marshal concludes by saying that Algeria will find in the words of the King the cer tainty that prompt and energetic measures will put an end to the struggle in which the army in Africa has been engaged for some years. The Moniteur Algerien is completely silent respect ing the melancholy events announced in the Marshal's report and in private letters. The English Journals have not yet arrived. A Mr. X. had been pointed out to the police as closely connected with the individuals inculpated in the affair of the projectiles, and it was affirmed that he was seen at the Palais Royal at the moment of the explo sion among the suspected persons who were before the money-changer's shop. Last night the police proceeded to his residence in the quarter of Saint Avoye, and after a strict search seized n great quantity of arms, ammuni tion, and projectiles, as well as several inflammatory writings. M. X. was absent, and could not be arrested at the moment of the search.—Le Constitutionnel. We have been favoured with the following extract of a letter from Constantinople, dated the 18th of No vember, written by a well-informed Correspondent, which represents as nearly illusory the hope of an im mediate conclusion of the differences between Turkey and Egypt There is nothing relative to our situation with re spect to Egypt. This question is now at London. Though the Five Powers should induce the Porte here to accept the terms offered, it would refuse, because England always promises it more favourable terms. The Porte will therefore make no concessions till it sees the Five Powers agree d. W e hope, however, that it will be one day r emem b ere d h ere , that Russia was on the point of indu c i ng E ng l an d t o c onsent to the occupation of Constanti no pl e b y the Russians.” — Le C ommerce. Maws FROM T HY MEDITERRANDAN,--ALEXAN DMA, Nov. 2.s.—The Indian mail was to have been forwarded by the Company's steamer Atalanta, but this vessel was burnt just as she was getting under weigh. The mail and a large number of passengers came in the Hugh Lindsey. The Zenobia, another steamer belonging to the Com pany, also received some trifling damage from the fire. A violent dysentery is speading through the Turkish feet. Upwards of 1,000 men have already fallen vic tims to this disease. MALTA, N0v726.—8y virtue of a Post - office con vention, English letters are taken direct from Mar seilles to Alexandria, and reciprocally by E ng li s h steamers. The Hatti Scheriff has produced a great sensation at Athens, where it is expected that King Otho must bestow the long-expected constitution. The Rhadamanthus brings letters from Admiral Stopford, stating it as probable that he will winter at Malta with five or six ships. The Pembroke has been sent off to England. Admiral Lalande has arrived in the Gulph of Smyrna, after an experimental cruise of twenty days, to try the rate of sailing of his ships. The crews have made great progress, and are daily becoming rivals of the English seamen. The Turkish Ambassador to Paris, Nourri Effendi, with the Charge d'Affaires to Prussia, who also is named Nourri Effendi, embarked this day in the Tun credo. Both received the honour due to their rank at embarking. The English General, Sir Andrew Bar nard, formerly Equerry to William the Fourth, who, with Mr. Hay, formerly Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, has just made a long. tour in the East, also leave in the Tancrede, for Italy, whence he will proceed to England.

TICE-CHANCERY.--(THIS DAY. WOOD V. GOODLAKE AND OTNERL Mr. WAKEFIELD applied in this case for leave to give notice of a motion for to-morrow for a receiver of the pro perty and estates of the late Mr. James Wood, the rich banker of Gloucester, the disposition of whose vast wealth has given already and still appears likely to give no incon siderabl• employment and emolument to the gentle men of the long robe, Two suits had been in stituted in the Courts of Equity, one of which had been set down before the Master of the Rolls, and the other before the Vice-Chancellor. In the first suit an applica tion had been made to the Master of the Rolls yesterday for a receiver, and his Lordship had delayed giving' udg. ment till the result of a similar application in the other suit, before his Honour the Vice-Chancellor, was known ; on that ground, therefore, the Learned Counsel made the present application. Mr. K. BRUCE, with whom were Mr. Jacob and Mr. Bethell, said that the Master of the Rolls had not delayed his judgment till the result of the application to his Honour was known, he had only expressed a doubt as to th• pro priety of pronouncing his decision till the application bad been made, and his Lordship had taken home the affidavits, stating that be would read them before he gave judgment. His HONOUR did not think that the fact of a similar application having been made in another cause, to which some of the individuals in the present suit were parties, would justify him in allowing Mr. Wakefield's client to give short notice of motion. The case must come on in its regular course. The result therefore is that the motion will not be brought on before the next Seal. BELL V. THE HULL AND SELBY RAILWAY. The arguments on this part heard motion were resumed to-day, but had not concluded when our Evening Edition went to press. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) The MASTER of the nom.' having disposed of the consent petitions, heard the arguments of Counsel in the part-heard case of Franks v. Price, which was opened on Friday last. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.; ( Guildhall sittings at Nisi Prins, before Mr. Justice MAULK and a Common Jury.) DRURY V. PARKER. This was an action for libel, published in the Lincoln shire Chronicle, against the plaintiff, who was editor of the Lincoln Gazette. Plea, the general issue. Mr. KELLY (with whom was Mr. Channel]) stated the case to the Jury. The plaintiff, he said, had been long an inhabitant of Lincoln, and was (being of Radical poli tics) Treasurer to the charities of the town under the Municipal Corporation. In October, 1838, there appeared in the Lincoln Chronicle, the Conservative pa psi-, the libel complained of, which was a paragraph headed, " Municipal Registrations," and commencing, " The Radicals, lost to virtue—manly thought—and all the noble sallies of the soul,' or at least, the thing called fool, of knaves the tool,' in the person of the creature who edites the Gazette, who gets 701. a-year under the Cor ration for doing that which many others would do, and better too, for 20/." And then it went on to stigmatize him for objecting to the poor Conservative voters, en masse, in the hop e s th a t h av i ng no t i me to lose, they would not answer, and be so disfranchised—conduct which it characterised as merciless and degrading—and so, undoubtedly, Mr. Kelly said it was; and when the Jury found that Mr. Drury had taken no part whatever in the municipal reg strations, they would consider, he trusted, that the plaintiff had a right to claim just redress at their hands for the injury which his character must have sustained by this imputation. The publicat:oa was admitted, and the paper put in, when Mr. Andrews, a solicitor of Lincoln, was called, and stated that the paragraph referred to the plaintiff, and that he never attended, nor took part in, the registrations. Cross-examined by Mr. HUMPHREYS, for the' defendant —Pray, Mr. Andrews, what are you Witness—A Radical. Mr. HUMPHREYS—I thought so. Well, now which part of this passage refers to plaintiff—" Lost to virtue-- manly thought"—eh ?—(Laughter.) Or this---" And all the noble sallies of the soul."—( Renewed laughter.) Witness—Why the whole paragraph. Mr. HUMPIIRRYS—WeII, but it begins—" The Radicals of Lincoln" —now, as you are a Radical, it refers to you, don't it ?—(Laughter.) Witness—Yes. Mr. HUMPHREYS—So you are " lost to virtue—manly thought ?"—( Laughter.) Witness—Yes, they say so; but I don't care for that— ( Laughter.) Mr. HUMPHERTS—No, I should think not. The Learned Counsel then made a very humourous address to the jury, characterising the plaintiff as the most thin skinned and touchy of editors ; and ridiculing the " Spar tan virtue" of Mr. Kelly, which doubtless would excite great alarm among the Conservatives, not only of Lincoln, but of Ipswich—(Laughter)—when they heard on such high authority, that it was so very bad to object to oppo site voters without foundation.—( Laughter.) The Learned JUDGE told the Jury that he considered the paragraph somewhat injurious to the plaintiff's cha racter, and therefore a libel ; but the Jury would bear in mind that this was a dispute between rival editors. The Jury found for the plaintiff, damages one farthing. EXCHEQUER COURT -THIS DAY (Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Mr. Baron ALDZRSON and a London Common Jury.) ELPORD D. PRIOR. This was an action brought to recover compensation in damages for an assault committed under the following cir cumstances :—The defendant was a clerk in the Ordnance Office, who, on the 24th September last, had his horse home from the grass. He had not a servant at the time, and engaged a groom named Fry to attend his horse in the meantime. On the morning of the day named he ordered Fry to exercise the horse. In place of doing so himself he put a boy on it, for which he was reprimanded by the defendant. In the evening he was desired to get a farrier to administer a ball to the horse. Fry introduced the plaintiff, who administered the ball at seven o'clock, and according to Fry's evidence, he made a demand of 2s. 6d. for so doing. The defendant objected to the charge, saying Is. 6d. was all he was in the habit of paying, and would pay no more. The plaintiff said he would not mind it then, but would settle it to morrow, and was going away when the defendant all at once struck him, and knocked him down in the passage. Fry, the witness, not wishing to see his friend ill-used without any cause, was a b out to i nter f ere , b ut having a pitchfork in his hand it accidentally struck the defendant on the head. For the defence two policemen were called, who de posed that when they went up to where the disturbance was, Mr. Prior said, in the presence of the plaintiff, that he demanded 2s. 6d. for administering the ball, which he would not pay. The plaintiff insisted upon being paid, and would not leave th e p rem i ses w h en re quested by the defendant. That Elford attempted to strike him, and that he then took him by the arm and pushed him out of the stable. Elford heard all this, and said it was all true, only that on being put out he was thrown down with his child in his arms. When they went up Prior hail a severe cut on his head, which was bleed ing profusely. Their evidence was confirmed by the gen tleman who lived next doo . The plaintiff wanted the policemen to take the defendant into custody for an as sault, but they refused, which angered him so much that at nine o'clock of the same evening he went and lodged a complaint against them with their sergeant. His LORDSHIP summed up, and said the case was one of very conflicting evidence, which it was the duty of the Jury carefully to consider. He did not like admissions being brought forward to contradict direct testimony. After pointing out the discrepancies which appeared in the evidence he said it was of such a nature as to demand their serious attention. The Jury consulted for a few minutes, and then return ed a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 101. Mr. JERVIS and Mr. DASENT conducted the plaintiff's case. Mr. CHANNBLL and Mr. PETERSDORP were Counsel for ,he defendant. FATAL EVENT.—We understand' the melan choly affair, detailed in another part of our paper, uncler the head " Mysterious Occurrence," was purely acci dental, Mr. Western, at th e ti me o f p resen ting the pis tol believing it to be unloaded, and that measures are in progress for surrendering him before a Judge, in order to be admitted to bail. The Cambridge account inaccurately states Mr. Western to be a nephew of Lord Western. That Nobleman bad only one brother, who died several years since unmarried. We have letters from Ktirnoul of the 14tb inst. Ko further discoveries of any importance, save some more gunpowder and materials for its manufacture, had been made in the Zenana, or fort. The total quantity of powder found amounted to from eighty to one hun dred thousand pounds, the greater part loose in large baskets. In addition to the shot and shells of pewter, a considerable number of malleable iron six and nine pound balls had been found, hammered into exceedingly true spherical forms, and a great many of the old fashioned mantons, double and single barrelled flint fowling-pieces and rifles, in perfect order, and each having a bag of bullets tied to the trigger guards. A vast quantity of musket barrels and locks, with the Tower and Company's marks on them, had also been discovered in various places fitted up as gunsmiths' workshops, in which artisans had evidently been until very recently employed. A committee had been formed to take charge of and report upon all the guns and stores found, consisting of Major Bond, Commandant of Artillery ; Lieut. Balfour, Brigade Major, ditto ; and Captains White and Ri chardson, of the 15th Regiment, commanding the two companies of the escort, with Colonel James as presi dent ; and working parties from the Sappers and Miners were daily employed under their direction in the labour of removal and collection. MURDER OF COLONEL HERRING. We take the opportunity of publishing an extract from the Delhi Gazette of the 25th, which communi cates a melancholy event near Cabul :- 1 '• We have letters from the camp at Cabul to the 6th inst., and are sorry to have to announce the murder of Col. Herring, of the 37th Regiment Native Infantry. It appears that his detachment, consisting of his corps and a troop of Native Horse Artillery, left Candahar some time ago in charge of five lace of treasure for the army at Cabul, and they met with no opposition whatever as far as Ghusnee. At Hyder Keel, three marches from that city and forty miles from Cabul, the detachment halted, and Colonel Herring, with Captain Rhind, of his corps, went out for a walk, accompanied by one orderly havildar and two orderly sepoys. They had not advanced much more than a mile from the camp, which was still in sight, when some nineteen or twenty natives suddenly fell upon them. The Colonel was seen defending himself with a stick by two sepoys, who immediately ran out of the lines and gallantly shot two of the fellows as they were escaping. NiThen they came up they found the Colonel and the or derly havildar dead, the former with nineteen cuts o❑ his head, and Captain Rhind senseless. The two orderly sepoys had. the good fortune to escape. " Colonel Herring's body was brought into Cabul and buried on the sth instant, his truly melancholy fate, rendered more so by his having been selected by our Envoy and Ministe::r to command Shah Soojah's con tingent in the room of General Simpson, who resigned, has called forth great expressions of horror and sincere sympathy, for he was universally esteemed. The many similar murders already committed, which still rankle in the memories of our officers, would, it might have been supposed, have afforded a warning to the gallant de ceased of how very- little reliance was to be placed in conquered tribes, to whom the name of Christian must for a long time be one of detestation and horror, and this murder adds another proof of the frail tenure with which we, for some time to come, will have to hold the country i❑ which we have reinstated Shah Soojah." (From Greenway's Agra Journal, Oct. 5.) THE FALL or JOUDHPORE.—The Fort of Joudhpore was taken possessian of at ten o'clock on the morning of the 29th ult„ and i. 3 now garrisoned by the 22d Native Infantry, supported by the 52d Native Infantry, and a de tail of sappers and miners, under the command of Brigadier Rich. We have been favoured with the fol lowing particulars : The troops were to have advanced at day light, but during the night a message was sent by Maun Singh to Colonel Sutherland, intimating that a party of Rha tores had made a wow to fight and die at their posts, and suggesting that ottr troops should wait until the Maha rajah had endeavoured to restore those fanatics to rea son. The Resident went to the Maharajah in the morning, and told him the troops were advancing, and that if the Maharajah could not subdue or seize the Rhatores, the troops would advance, blow open the gates, and take them. This decisive measure was more than Mann Singh was prepared for. It was, however, determined that he, accompanied by the Resident, should go up to the fort. Colonel Sutherland was attended by - Major Smith, chief engineer, and Captains Ludlow and Bruere. On going into the fort, they found not more than 200 or 300 men ; the whole of the Maharajah's troops, and the Sirdars with their followers, having been withdrawn. The Rhatures looked unutter able things, bolt were not apparently intoxicated ; on being spoken to.. they were persuaded to accompany the Maharajah, Colonel Sutherland, and Captain Bruere to the foot of the hill ; on reaching which our troops were to advance. It will be seen that Major Smith and Captain Lud low remained behimi,awaiting the arrival of the 22d Na tive Infantry ; this ~ t, a s in consequence of some arrange ment with the Kideb dar's people. They had not been long alone before an infuriated Rhatore dashed out of an adjoinining house, a nd fired his matchlock in Major Smith's face. Luckily it missed fire. He then drew his sword and rushed on them. Major S. parried his cuts, and Captain L. watched a sword from a person standing by, and broke it on the man's head. Capt. L. was then unfortunately woundod, though not severely. He succeeded in getting out .his own sword, and the man was killed on the spot. Happily our officers escaped with their lives, and with no very serious wounds. Had the attack at all beerr supported in the fort their lives must have been sacrificed. In consequence of this commotion the inner gate was found closed on our troops advancing, and a shout of defiance was raised from within. The sappers and miners advanced with the powder bags ; but before they came up the gates were opened, and our troops marched in and took possession without molestation. It will be seen by the Court Circular that at the Council, held yesterday, Parliament is sum moned for the despatch of business on Thursday, the 16th of January. The Liverpool Albion states, that the Liverpoo: clergy have quarrelled amongst themselves as to ad mitting Dissenters into the Committee for the management of their new school. The ultra-Pro testant party it seems " would let in ' the Wes- leyans and Presbyterians,' who are Tories, to strengthen their political position against all others who entertain different opinions from them." The party which passes for the least boiling of the two objects to this, and thereupon a split—a wide rent, between the parts of this holy, zeal-warped body. So it will be again and again. At Liverpool, as elsewhere, the Clergy carry matters with a high hand, and we find one of them, a Rev. Mr. CECIL WRAP, maintains that the clergy have a right to be consulted upon all ques tions concerning public education ; and he treats with some scorn a, statement that waiting for the opinion of the clergy had been kindly assented to by the laity, not as a matter of right, but courtesy. This he says is strange language for Christians, and men, too, who are such strenuous advocates of an Establishment ; he insists that the clergy are a distinct order of men, holding a commission from Christ to teach the people, and therefore that Chris tian Churchmen ought not to be ashamed to concede to the clergy, as a matter of right, a con trol over education. We rejoice to see these quar rels amongst the holier-than-thou men ; and we shall admit that we know very little indeed of the purse-proud merchants and manufacturers of our country, and of the puffed-up priesthood, if these classes can continue to act cordially together. Those who chiefly subscribe the funds are as ready, it appears, to dispute the validity of the Commis sion claimed by the ministers of the Apostolic Church, as those who are not members of the Church. The quarrel is the renewal, at Liver -4 pool, on a small scale, of the contest be tween an ambitious secular and an ambitious spiritual power, suc h as i s now go i ng on be tween of PRUSSIA. and the Catholic Archbishop, and nothing but th e dread of their the King m keeps denouncing th e am bi t i ous an d these c on t en ti ou s sons of the Church enemyfrom grasping designs o f each other with as much vehe mence as they attack the Dissenters and the conion Ca tholics, We rejoice at the prospect of their wor rying each other. BOW.STREET.-(THIS DAY.' TUE QUEEN'S Surroe.--john Stockleige, a native of Liverpool, apparently of unsound mind, who was found on the 28th ult, wandering about within the precincts of Windsor Castle, using language whereby a breach of the peace was apprehended to be about to be committed, was brought before Mr. HALL for re-examination. Mr. Sweetlove, a surgeon, of Manchester, and Mr. L , vies, the surgeon of Westminster Bridewell, were in attendance, and after privately examining the defendant, by putting a variety of questions to him, it appeared from hic answers and the general tenour of his con‘Juct, that he had been labouring under certain celusions for a con siderable time past. Mr. HALL, after holding a long consultation kith the medics! gentlemen as to the best means of preventing the unfortunate man from wandering abroad unprotected in future, directed that he should be agaia conveyed in a cab to a place of safety, and to be brought up on a future day. Among other delusions, the defendant considers himself to be the Almighty. CONVICTION OF GAMBLERS. The seven individuals apprehended in Jermyn-street (not in St. James's -street, as stated in The Sun of yes terday), were brought before Mr. Long, at Nlarlborough sAreet Police Court in the afternoon for examination. Mr. Bodkin was engaged for the prosecution, at the in stance of the authorities of St. James's, and Mr. Adolphus appeared for two of the defendants, Jackson and Wilmot. Superintendent Baker stated, that in consequence of a warrant he received from the Commissioners of Pol ice, he went on Saturday night, about half-past eleven o'clock, accompanied by several officers, to the house No. 60, Jermyn-street. The front door was opened to him by the boy Wilmot, who was in stantly taken into custody. On reaching the second door he found it bolted, and, on peeping through the win dow, saw Jackson on the inside, who put on another bolt. He also gave an alarm to the persons up stairs. The door was immediately burst open, and he and his party pro ceeded uplstairs. On entering a room on the first floor they discovered a large quantity of counters, cards, dice, money rakes, and a table cover marked for playing. ( A large quantity of the abovementioned articles was here produced. ) There were eight rakes seized ; had seen such used at play. There were also 96 dice. Saw six more taken down stairs. The counters were marked " Cottage Club," and purported to be of the respective value of from 2s. 6d. to 10/. Was not aware whether the persons captured were members of the; club, neither did he know whether persons were introduced there, the same as in the regular club houses. One of the defendants he had seen at a common gaming-house in Pickering-place. Inspector Jarvis said, on going up stairs he saw the glass falling from the skylight as thick as hail. The sky light was at the top of the house, immediately over the staircase; there was also a quantity of dirt and rubbish falling from a trap-door in the back attic, leading to the roof of the house. He also observed a quantity of blood dropping from the skylight, evidently caused by some person being severely cut in making his escape. Mr. ADOLPIIUI addressed the Magistrate at some length in behalf of his clients, when Mr. Lox() inflicted a penalty of 501. on Jackson, and 203. on Wilmot. The other five defendants, who were most respectably attired, declined making any defence ; but being only found in the house for the purpose of gaming, the penalty pre scribed by the Act is only 51., which sum they were seve rally ordered to nay. The whole of the fines were immediately paid, and the parties left the Court. THE MARKETs.—(THIS DAY ) HUNGERFOiID MARKET. There were good supplies to-day of most kinds, and a fair business done.

It is ex pected to be one of the grandest displays of the kind that has taken place for many years. UNEXPECTED MARRIAGE OF LORD STUART DE DECIES.—A very curious story is circulated, and universally believed, in the hall of the Four Courts. A letter was said to have been received from Lord Stuart de Decies by his brother Mr. William Vil liers Stuart, Member for the county of Waterford, announcing that the Noble Lord felt it his duty to acquaint the members of his family that he bas been married since 1825. Up to the moment of the receipt of this letter it was supposed that Lord Stuart was a bachelor, and it was the opinion among his con nections and friends that he wouid never become a Be nedict. But it now turns out that the Noble Lord is no only a married man, but that he has five children, inch« ing an heir to his title and immense estates. Lord Stuart 9 letter was dated from Munich, where he was staying with his family. L a d y Stuart, 'it is said, is a German lady, and the d aug h ter o f a B avar i an C oun t. It is not more than tw e l ve mont h s s i nce M r . William Villiers Stuart, the broth er an d h e i r presum ptive of his Lord. ship, was married to Miss Cox, a lady of the most re spectable family in the county of Kilkenny, connected with Lord Dunally. On that occasion , in addition to the fortune to which he was legally entitled, Lord Stuart presented his brother with a sum of 20,0001. By all the members of his family Lord Stuart is greatly believed, and he has the reputation of one of the best landlords in Ireland.—Dublin Paper. DEATH OF M ISS INNES, OF STOW... This opulent lady died at her house, in Picardy -place, on Monday, at two o'clock, and is to be interred this day. The fortune to which she succeeded on the death of her brot her, the late Gilbert Innes, E sq ., awsasshe livedestim te in a very m o d erate and unostentatious mann er, it must now be very cons id era bl y i ncreased. ad at not less th an a m illi on sterling, and On her accession to the immense wealth of her brother, who died intestate, she made scarcely any change in her habits and mode of life, and continued to associate with the humblest of her friends on the same easy terms as before. She, however, greatly enlarged the scale of her charities, which were numerous and unostentatious. The great bulk of the fortune, which is the largest, we believe, ever gained by one individual in Scotland, was the acquisition of Mr. Innes himself, and was due to his industry and skill as a banker. Miss Innes was in her ninety-second year, and, according to report, she has left a will. Her heir-at-law is William Mitchell, Esq., of Parson's-green, a gentleman long knee n in this eitv„ and much esteemed.—Seoisman. EVENING EDITION. MON LY A ND CommE2tCIAL N CITY, TWELTI:: : Cr t'l'',", LIVIRPOOL COTTON MARKET, I;.IONDAT.--- ”' ES have had a fair demand for Cotton to-day.- The sales are 3,000 bags, 1,100 of which have been taken . oat speculation. No variation from last Friday's qut:tati"l" We have received a Bomb.lyPaper of the 28th OCA. COMMERCIAL REMARKS.—Since our last report of the .sth inst. Our markets have undergone little alone non in any respect, and we are unable to note any general improvement having occurred in prices, those of British manufacturing being still much depressed, while exchange and freights have scarcely varied, and the same want of demand for imports ia still too variable ; which, when viewed in connection with the smallness of the stocks of many articles, now lower per Laps than for along period, shows a diminution in the resources and ability of t he people, for which it is not easy satisfactorily to accouo t in any other way than by the too wide spread 4 0 ' poverishment experienced from the present, if not per- Eminent removal of the very considerable capital ployed in the China trade, much of which has been placed in jeopardy, while nearly all has been withdrawn from circulation by the general stoppage, which, it is much to be regretted, is still in operation. Ne advices have as yet been received, either of the renewal of intercourse with the Chinese, or of the acknowledgment of the British Government of the indemnity to opium holders, on both of which a return to a more satisfactory state of things mutt depend. The general want of activity at present prevailing maY also be partially traced to the near approach of the De' wati festival, when the annual settlement of nati ve accounts takes place, and which has always a dimi nishing effect on transactions. While prices of import keep so low and discouraging, no abatement or compen" sation is met with by finding exports at moderate prices • those still current, although the great outlet to China is at present cliched, being too high to leave much hope o f a fair resel tin British markets. COUNTLY PRODUCE.—COTTON.—Prices have lately shown a considerable tendency to give way, but as yet no decided fall has taken place. As the coming crop, however, is, by all accounts, with but trifling exception, a very promising one, the decline may be expected to proceed with the advance of the season, when it arrives at maturity. The transactions of the week have been small, and been confined to some parcels of Dholera at 117 rupees, and of Jumbooser at 137 rupees per Clink . OPIUM may be said to held no price, as n othing in the way of purchase or sale is taking place, and only small shipments are being made by importers in diminu tion of the stock, which amounted, on the 23d insta nt ' to 9,565 chests. The annual opium advertisement in the Gazette Las only been once inserted this season, and not been re' peated. PEPPER.—The Market is very barely supplied at pre sent, but articles from the coast are soon expected. GINGER.—The present quantity in Market is Wall and chiefly of inferior quality. r,„ ES PERSIAN AND ARABIAN GULP PRODUCE. (MOCHA )—The quantity imported lately has not :els" large, but at the present high prices of 12i rupees to rupees per maund there is very little inquiry for it- are Worm is still in great request, and parcels eagerly purchased as they arrive. ve EUROPE.—IRON BARS (BRITISH). --Expo rts been proceeding with considerable activity, and it ha av continued in good request. and SHEET (SWEDISH) continues in good demand, the stock low. ce ding LEAD (PlG.)—Exports have recently been Pr" favourably, and the stock is now reduced to a moderate compass, and prices have advanced. of tile in the market, a small lot has been sold at 56 rupee:. per cwt., being the highest price which has been 0 tamed for a long period. The inquiry for o ther descrip tions continue. QUICKSILTER.—There is a fair demand for it at COPPER.—Owing to the very sma ll quan tit y about 95 rupees per maund, while the stock held is light. SAFFRON is in very little inquiry at present. YARN MULE.—We have no improvement in prices to notice, and which is hardly to be looked for un der existing circumstances, while Stocks are also heavy , and supplies continue to arrive on a large scale. TWIST ( WATER.)—Tnere is some inquiry for high numbers, but others are without improvement. MONEY MARKET.—Government securities are in good inquiry, but the market is barely supplied. Four per Cents. are at a shade less discount than they were. No five per Cents., Transfer Loan Notes, nor Bank Debt Stock is offering. BILLS ON LONDON.—Drawing rates continue at about the same price as in the beginning of the month, from 2 to 21 k per rupee, at six months' sight, or nine months' date. Very few foreign bills have lately come to market, and without the aid of which or more en couraging advices from England, improvement cannot be expected. On Calcutta, Government have advertised a sale of Lye lace of rupees, of thirty days' sight bills, for the 31st inst. On Canton the state of affairs in that quarter pre cludes any operations in them. (From the Military Gazette.) We have heard a story of Sir H. Fane intending to put Sir Jasper Nichols under an arrest for an undue assumption of authority. We have at present some thing like two Commanders-in-Chief in India ; as Sr . l Henry intends going home, we think he ought to do it, and start at once. The cholera is said to be prevailing still among the Kurnoul force. Our letters of the 13th, we rejoice to say, speak more favourably of the health of the troops ; but our infor mant, a medical officer, considers that the cholera, lately raging in General Wilson's camp, was greatly nurtured by its low and insalubrious site. Jouornoric.—The following letter is written from the Marette on this side of that city, dated Camp Pee chuark, Oct. 7 :—" We broke up from before Judpore on the morning of the 3d ; and I believe our departure was hastened by the appearance of the cholera in our camp. A t the time of our arrival it was making much havoc in the city of Judpore, and among the ragamuffin followers of Maun-Sing and his Rhatores. We try to get rid of it by making easy marches without any halts ; but it still clings to us, and several Sepoys, u well as camp followers, have fallen victims to it," THE FUNDS. - - The only arrival this morning of importance is the overland express from India, which upon the whole is of a favourable nature, although several conspiracies against the British on the part of the Native Chiefs have been discovered, and measures taken to secure their future conduct. It is rather surprising that the express does not bring a.:y intelligence from China, which was generally expected, and waited for with much anxiety.
