have Da time M farther remarks, tut the above 2ny be depended BY THE GOVERNOR Or SINDB. Head-quarters, Kurr.chee, Friday, June 20. Extract from General Orders. By Ms Excellency Major-General _Sir Chula Napier, G.C.8., Governor of Sinde. At a Ger eral Court-Martial holden at Kurrachee, on Tuesday, the 17th of June, 1845, and of which Lieutenant-Colonel Derinsy, K. H., her Majesty's 86th Regiment, is President; prisoner, As sistant Apothecary and Steward Francis Lonsone, attached to the 2d hoop Bombay Horse Artillery, is brought to trial on the fallow ing charge : Charge.—For being drunk in his quarters in camp, near Kurra ebee, between the hours of 7 and 8, on or about the night of the bib of June, 1845. The above being to the prejudice of good order and military discipline. A. ROWLAND, Captain Commanding 24 Troop H. B. Kurrachee, June 7. By order, E. GREEN, Major, Assistant-Adjt—General. Finding and Sentence.—The Court having maturely weighed and considered the evidence before it, is of opinion that the pri soner, Assistant-Apothecary and Steward Francis Lonsone, at tactied to the 2d Troop Bombay Horse Artillery, is guilty of the charge preferred against him, and does therefore adjudge him,- the said Francis Lonsone, Assistant -Apothecary and Steward, attached to the 2d Troop Bombay Horse Artillery, to be suspended from rank and pay for a period of six months. Kurrachee, June 18, 1845. B. V. DERINZY, Lieutenant-Colonel 86th Regiment, President. M. MURPHY, Captain, Deputy Judge-Advocate-General. Revised,—l am sorry to revise the proceedings, but I hope that the Court will take into consideration the feelings of the troops when they see a man so slightly punished for drunkenness—a man wins Is intrusted with the compounding of medicine, among whicb are deadly poisons—a man intrusted also with admisistering those medicines to the soldiers. The latter are not on the footing of officers who are able to refuse the prescription or the medicine offered by a drunken man, but the private soldiers are obliged by the necessary rules of the service to receive what is ordered, and dare not refuse what is given by one who has voluntarily deprived himself of reason. Will the Court force back into the hospital such a culprit, and place the lives of brave men in his hands ? Will the Court thus oblige the soldiers to take the medicine or the poison offered, or rather, I should say, forced upon him by this drunken culprit ? 1 ask the members of the Court to place themselves in the position of the families of soldiers, as well as in that of the men, and ask them selves what would be their feelings, if they saw those nearest and dearest to them lying on the bed of sickness, and a drunken person like the prisoner enter their bedroom to prescribe, to compound, or to administer medicine? I can not believe that any member of the Court would in such a ease consider six months' suspension an adequate punish ment. Let the members of the Court be apprised that the soldier sees all those things clearly and reasons soundly upon whit he sees. If what I have said be true, will not the Court agree with me, that to leave such a culprit in the service is to endanger the lives of the soldiers, and to shake their confidence in the protection of their officers, the only protection they can have against such criminals. _ _ . C. J. NAPIER, Major-General, Governor of Sinde. June 18. Revised Sentence.—Tbe Court ha►ing most fully taken into consideration the remarks submitted to it by his Excellency Major General Sir Charles Napier, G.C.8., does now adjudge the prisoner, Francis Lonaone, Assistant Apothecary and Steward, attached to the 2d troop Bombay Horse Artillery, to be discharged the service. Kurraehee, June 20, 184 i. B. V. DERINZY, Lieutenant-Colonel, President. R. M. HUGHES, Captain, Deputy Judge-Advocate-General. Confirmed and Approved. C. J. NAPIER, Major-General, Governor ot.Sinde. Head-quarters, June 20. Mem.—l have to express my approbation of the conduct of sergeant-major Siddell and gunner Pitt. The sergeant-major acted like a good soldier in putting the infamous culprit under arrest. I have also observed the evidence given by John Burtwhistle, who has sworn to a falsehood. I would bring John Burtwhistle to a court martial for perjury, but I conclude he was as drunken as his companion, the infamous Lonsone. C. J. NAPIER, Major. General, Governor of Sinde. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Calcutta Overland Price Current, Aug. 7.) Since our last issue of the 9th ultimo, we have twice been put In possession of further intelligence from home, in the first instance by the mall via Bombay, the Government express of which came In on the evenings f the 18th, and brought London dates to the 7th June ; and agn by the Bentinck steamer, which arrived on the 3d instant, and by which our advices are up to the 24th of that month. The accounts received by the former opportunity being rather more favourable for one or two of our staple'products than were anticipated caused a good deal of activity in our bazaar, and these beirig confirmed by the letters just received, transactions continue en an extensive scale ; this, however, refers principally to the two most important articles of this season—sugar and silk—the demand on the increase; in other produce, however, there has also been a fair ter both of which had previously been extremely languid, and stocks amount of business done, although from the unfavourable tenor of the advice* from home in some instances, and from the continued senreity of tonnage In others, prices of several have a downward tendency. In imports we have at last some improvement to notice, the dealers having within the put fortnight come forward much more freely; still, however, though the business done has been exten sive, the heavy stocks have made importers too eager to realise to admit of any material advance in prices being obtained, and the general advice, by this opportunity will, we think, be anything but satisfactory to shippers. A very large portion of late shipment has been sent forward under advances from Government, the enormous difference between their rate of exchange and that obtainable privately (nearly i per sent.) being, in the opinion of most parties a sufficient counter. balance fur the large margin required, so that, with the exception of those sent as direct returns, or against which shippers are obliged to draw the full amount, almost the whole of those staples en which the Government are willing to advance have gone through the export warehouse ; this has necessarily caused a great scarcity of bills with documents, and enabled the large drawers to obtain somewhat better rates, those current throughout the month for first rate 10 months' date bills having been from Is. l Id. to Is. 11 id. per rupee. Indigo—Annexed we give a statement of what we can glean from the latest intelligence received from the various districts, but still abstain from naming any figure, as opinions still vary con siderably on the subject—some parties being of opinion that the crop will not exceed 1,05 to 1,10,000 maunds, whilst many others estimate It as high as 1,25 to 1,3i,000. Next month will, bow. ever, decide which is correct. At the date of our last there were numerous complaints of Ainnage done by too much rain, but finer weather was generally looked for, which, even If it did not recover the injured plant, would have saved quite enough to enable the planters to turn out as much (or even more) than last year ; instead of this, however, tutu:int rain has been experienced throughout Bengal, which has reduced the produce so much that many districts will not send down more than two-thirds of what was previously calculated on —we would quote Dacca, Myrnunsingh, Furreedpore, Jessore, jtajeshaye, Pubna, Rungpore, Dinagepore, and Purneah, as having it ail , red most. On the banks of the Bhangerutty, where the pms peeoi were magnificent in the month of June, they will scarcely turn out t:Je half of what wis then calculated on ; Kishnagur, Nuddeah, Moorshedabad, Maids, and Bhaugulpore will still do a lthough the latter district will fall far short of pre. pretty well, 'ions expectations. Accounts from Tirhoot continue to vary con siderably. but a great deal still depends on the weather. In the western provinces we hear that they have had rather too much rain, but the plant is still looking well ; they commenced intufacture In some parts on the Ist, but others will not be able to do se before the 10th. The outturn is still entirely dependant on the weather they experience throughout this month, as the manu facture has been much delayed by continual rains. On the whole we may safely say that prospects are now fully 5 to 10 pee cent, worse than a month ago, and should the rainy weather experienced here during the last five or six days have proved general, the falling off will doubtless be even greater, as there will be no chance of the produce improving ; oil the accounts sent flown are calculating on a favourable ch.pik in the weather. Exports from the Ist of November. 1!44, up to date, are as follows, viz.:— Chests. rt. mds. To Great Britain Franco North Anteries 059 ... 2,230 fpreign Europe Bed Sea, Bombay, and Gulphs 1,907 ... 8,352 Ail other parts Total s ug ar. —On receipt of the mail yid Bombay, the demand for this ereple became general and purchases very extensive; the enor rneus stock, however, which bad accumulated in the bazaar pre vented any advance in prices being then obtained ; but when the letters reseive.4 by the Bentinck were found to confirm the pre.. vious accounts, and purchasers again came forward freely, they found stocks so greatly reduced that all the finer descriptions were readily taken at an advance rof 4 to 8 annas per maund, and wreally e h a ve now to 0 -et c the bazaar eeirly, if not quite, bare of first quality sugars ; inferior descriptions also are getting light in stock, and sell freely at about an advance of 4a. ; of these latter, however, arrivals continue to come to hand freely, and from the dit- Acuity experienced in effecting shipments we do not look for any further material advance. Exports to Great Britain from the Ist Expo inst. up to date amount to 62,259 mounds. Saltpetre—The continued unfavourable accounts from home, combined with the high• ruling of freights, have completely checked all operations for Great Britain, especially as the large purchases ,which continue to be made for America have prevented any equi. valent decline in prices. A few parcels of the finest descriptions continue to be occa sionally taken for China; but there is no general demand at pre • sent except for the descriptions suitable for the American market. Exports from Ist inst. to North America are 4,729 maunds. Raw Silk—The somewhat favourable accounts lately received of the home market for this staple have caused considerably more activity here, and as holders have shown themselves disposed to . meet the views of purchasers, a fair amount of business has been done at prices rather in advance of those obtainable at the date of our last for similar qualities. The finer descriptions are most wanted, but the stock of these being light, there hat not been much done in them, whilst in low Junghypere and Dauleah sort transactions have been very eaten. sire ; late accounts from the Mofussil state the holders there had at last been induced to accept lower totes,ra and we may therefore look for rather a large supply coming nd shortly, as stocks had • been accumulating for some time past. The rainy bund may also •be looked for by the middle of this month, and should the native merchants continue moderate in their demands (as we think pro . belle) *large business will doubtless be done in the course of the next two months. Saporta to Great Britain from the Ist inst. up to date amount to 414 suaunds. 3 " " I mo Goods—ln torahs a large businrss has been done, in ""equeoelb of balder' having submitted to a very considerable de _ GLUM en their previo horn borne were again unfavourable, demands, but as the last accounts cress as yet seen their i v ow ourable, we do not think prices here have marked imp In en s t om is e d o i f se t e h r e n p a a b r l c e e , ls an n d o w as coming s to hand a very seam determined to take no th ing but well made cloths (except at a very low figure), we think manufacturers have already found it worth their while to pay more attention to the quality than they have hitherto done, and therefore n h it look forward to seein g a ver y s uperior desearption of pods few months. a market in the course of the next a: d esc ription of low m iddli ng qua. lay occasionally offer, but very ye A few parcels of Ch eppas and Bandannas ofand pt e lo f n eir su e ir i ble eri, to r the .

Linseed, however, continues in extensive demand for America, and the French have alto been large purchasers during the month, some late enactment having induced them to supply themselves from this market direct. Safflower.—Transactions since our last have been very limited, in consequence of the large quantity of inferior quality offering, whilst of really good, for which there is a moderate inquiry, none is to be had—for the former prices must be quoted lower ; but we still think a few parcels of fine Patterghatta would (if procurable) be saleable at 40 rupees per maund. Hides—The - demand continued moderate until the receipt of the intelligence per Bentinck, since which we believe there has been scarcely anything doing for the English market, and our quotations are almost nominal. For America a few purchases have been made at about former rates. In horns and tips we have no change to notice. Exports from the lit instant up to date were as follows, viz. : Hides, 41,418; buck horns, 5,000; horn tips, 100, to Great Britain. Jute—Shipments have of late been lees extensive, and holders would be disposed to accept lower rates were it possible to effect sales, but this the home accounts have rendered far from easy. Exports from the Ist instant up to date are as follows, via.:—to Great Britain, 2,005. Munjeet, Ginger, Turmeric, Cowries, Tingal, and Cutch—ln munjeet we believe nothing has been done. Ginger is in very mo derate inquiry, but although we have not heard of any sales, set notice a few small shipments of dry to Great Britain. Turmeric has heen neglected for England, and even for France the demand is far from brisk. In cowries, we have not heard of any transactions. Tincal has been taken to a moderate extent for the ,English market at about 12 rupees to 12 rupees 8 annas, No sales of cutch have been reported lately. Shell Lac and Lac Dye—Shell lac has been neglected for Great Britain, and some of fine quality has sold at a decline ; lately, however, there bas been some inquiry for France, and several parcels have been disp3sed of. In lac dye but little has been done, all the fine masks continuing scarce and held at high figure, and the stock of middling qualities being also very light. Opium—The price of this drug has been daily fluctuating since our last, it having at one time fallen to 1,380 rupees for Patna, and 1,300 rupees for Benares, then risen to 1,420 and 1,325 rupees, and now again fallen to 1,3E15 and 1,300 rupees, which were the last quotations we heard of. Deliveries have been progressing freely, and amount to about 4,000 chests within the month, the stock now remaining in the Company's godown, consisting of only 3,420 chests of Patna, and 1,033 chests of Benares. Cotton—We quote prices of this staple as last month, but these must be looked upon almost as nominal, the business for China having, for some time past, been completely at a standstill. Ex. ports in all July were 989 bales, or 3,207 maunds, against, in July 1844, 19,688 bales, or 70,539 maunds, and, from the lst inst., up to date, not a single bale has gene forward.

Morning .. 7 minutes after 7 J Evening .. 40 minutes after T. bennu Ant " LONDON, WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 24, 1845. The intelligence from India and China, though not of a striking character, is not the less important. In the vast extent of our Indian possessions peace prevails, the influence of the British name is paramount, and none of the adjoining States, however they may di s lik e the s pread of c i v ili sat i on, justice, and mercy, or dread the extension of our dominion, seem at all disposed to quarrel with their powarm neighbour. This universal peace at the present moment caimetbe fart. buted to the policy or the nb'w GdYCTlM'Cr'"alf far; Ist fact, he is hardly ever heard of. He remains in phi losophical retirement at Calcutta, engaged in devis ing plans for the improvement of the country, such as I making roads, encouraging steam enterprise, educating the natives, and reforming the administration of justice. These are noble pursuits, and do high honour to Sir HENRY HAR HINGE, but at the same time no unprejudiced observer can deny that he owes this leisure, this vacation from warlike du tres,--Ermost entirely to the wise and spirited government of his calumniated predecessor. Lord ELLENBOROUGH during nearly the whole of his short reign was engaged in military expeditions, forced on him, in fact, by the policy of Lord AUCKLAND. After what had occurred in Affghanistan ; after the deceitful conduct of the Ameers of Sinde, and their intention, manifested beyond the possibility of a doubt, to take the first advantage of difficulties or disasters in which the British forces might be involved, he had no alternative but to occupy the country or compel the Ameers by force to give such security as would put every means of vengeance out of their power. They declined the latter. They chose like madmen to try their strength against the whole power of England, and what with the judicious plans formed for their subjection, and the admirable manner in which they were carried out by Sir CHARLES NAPIER and his gallant army, they were utterly defeated, and their country was finally annexed to the British eominions. The grumblers at home, and the selfish and prejudiced, perhaps venial writers abroad, did everything in their power to lessen the value of this great accquisition, heaped endless abuse upon Lord ELLENBOROUGH and Sir CHARLES NAPIER, said Sinde would never repay the cost of keeping it in subjection —nay more, it would be the grave of every• European who ventured to reside in a district exposed to all the diseases caused by swamps and malaria. And when owing to igno rance of the seasons and accidental circumstances, fever broke out in some places, and affected several regi ments, they rejoiced over the result, appealed to their prediction, and called upon the Government at the Home and the Indian Board to renounce the conquest, restore the Ameers, and consequently shut up the navigation of the Indus, and break off all communication by that great river between Bom bay and the rich countries in the north of India. Even the hostility of the Affghans was disregarded, and the British dominions, as well as the whole of the Punjab, were to be exposed to their excursions for the purpose of mortifying ELLENBOROUGH and NAPIER. The Government, however, would not listen to their charming ; and to the mili tary occupation of Sinde, and the watchful eye of its Gover nor, may be entirely attributed the respectful dis tance at which AKBAR KHAN and his predatory hordes keep from the country of the Five Rivers, now, from its distracted condition, such a tempting prize for the ruthless Affghans. Of this there cannot be the least possible doubt, yet not one Indian journal that we have seen attributes the important circumstance to the real cause. These jour nals, too, are utterly silent about the unhealthy state orSinde, for the best reason in the world, because it is, in fact, more healthy than many of our Indian pos sessions, and the troops, when properly located, are per fectly satissed with their condition. Steam navigation is increasing daily on the river, the productions of countries through which it flows for fifteen hundred miles are mutually exchanged, employment is given to the inhabitants, and the whole population of Sinde, said to be so ardently at• tached to the hunting Ameers, would regard as the greatest calamity the return of their old masters. In the meantime Sir C. NAPIER is actively engaged in putting down everything like aggression from the west; he is placing the Government of the interior on a stable and rational basis; the people are not, as formerly, harassed by endless exactions, nor denied justice ; slavery is abolished, and merchants, and traders, and shopkeepers, carry on their business with as much security and with as certain prospects of returns for their labour as in the most civilised and well regulated communities. These are great triumphs, and are the more to be prized, as they have been accomplished in oppo sition to the almost unanimous opinion of the " fourth estate," and either disowned or reluctantly acceded to by the great body of the India Directors. We never had but one opinion on the subject, and the result, we are ready to admit, even surpasses our most sanguine expectations. Madrid journals of the 16th inst. have been received. The QUEEN, according to some of them, had been much benefited by her journey into the provinces. Two magnificent equi pages, a present from the Queen of ENGLAND to her MA JESTY, had arrived at Astorga. We find no additional intel ligence in these papers respecting the proceedings of the court-martial appointed to try the rioters. The payment of the new income-tax, it is said, was made without any serious opposition in the provinces. The Captain-General of Cata lonia is determined to put down all resistance to the authori ties by the most summary means. The Clamor Public() says that functionary sent lately for the editor of the Fomento, a Barcelona paper, and informed him "that if he inserted any thing in his paper capable of alarming the province, he would hang him from the flag-staff of Monjuich, as a warning to all other journalists." No btoiinovs was done on the Madrid Bourse on the 16th. ~_ A French provincial journal, the Bien Public of Macon, the town represented by. M. DE LAMARTINE, gives an account of a meeting of the Council-General of the Saane-et-Loire, at which that eloquent orator delivered a long speech, and, from what we can gather, very much to the purpose. It related to the circular letter from the Minister of Public Instruction, calling on the departments to raise funds for gratuitous education in the colleges of the chief towns. M. DE LA]IA It TIN E highly approved of the Government plan, but thought it might be extended, and not apply only to colleges, but to primary schools for the lower classes. But that was only one of the sound doctrines inculcated by the Hon. Deputy; he turned his attention to the struggle at present going on between the University and the Church, and decidedly took a part with the former. He strongly reprobated the attempt made to entrust the education of Frenchmen to the clerical body, which he said would form a new and complete feudal system, and bind the human mind to a body that founded their faith on traditions, and delighted in retarding the progress of knowledge. These are plain truths. They do honour to the speaker, and form noble contrast to the bigoted schemes of cer tain parties in Ireland, who would restore the power of the Jesuits, and make them the visitors, and guardians, and . principal teachers also in the new Irish academies. The progress of this encroaching sect is pointed out in the Consti tutionnel, and ought to be a warning to such men as Sir ROBERT Nous, who joins with Mr. O'CONNELL in denounc ing the plan of the Government, which effectually deprives these dangerous teachers of all manifest influence in these colleges. The Constitutionnel, after giving the early history of the Jesuits, states that they have now fourteen provinces, viz. :—Rome, Sicily, Naples, Turin, Spain, Paris, Lyons, Bel gium, England, Ireland, Austria, Germany, Maryland, and the Missouri. On the Ist of January, 1838, they had in these provinces 173 establishments and 3,067 members; on the Ist of January, 1841, they had 211 establishments and 3,565 members ; and on the Ist of January, 1844, 233 establish ments and 4,1.33 members; having thus, in six years, in creased by 60 establishments and 1,066 memb ers. In 1844 the number of members was increased to 4,527. It thus con cludes its remarks : " The success of the company of Jesus has been constant during late years in all the provinces. It has everywhere gained ground ; it has everywhere extended and consolidated its empire ; but the moat marked progress has been made in Paris and Lyons. The object of the principal efforts of the Society in our days, is not the conversion of l'agans and infidels ; it has not, as it had two centuries ago, more than 2,000 missionaries in the Indies, Japan, and America; proselytism in distant countries is now only a commercial specula tion, an affair of money. The Society for the Propagation of the Faith paid to the company of Jesus, in 1844, the sum of 336,092 f. 32c. for 134 priests, 30 novices, and 61 brothers, whom the Society had devoted to the service of the missions among the Infidels. The field of battle chosen by the Jesuits in the nineteenth century is Europe— Europe, which has thrown off the Papal yoke, but which the Pope and the Society of Jesus would bind by new chains at the foot of the pon tifical throne. Such is the position of the Society of J esus i n the world. There is little we believe changed in the provinces of France. The fathers are there divided into small groups, but they are not less numerous, active, or wealthy." On Friday, at Eu, the KING, the Qt7Ever, Mme. ADELAIDE, the Duchess D'AUMALE, and the Prince and Princess of SALEIucO, drove out at two o'clock, accompanied by the Minister of Commerce, the Prefect of the Seine Inferieure, Col.

On Saturday the KING, accompanied by the Ministers of the Marine and Commerce, General D'HOUDETOT, and his orderly officers, took an airing in the park at Eu for two hours, returning to the château at half-past five o'clock. In the evening his MAJESTY received Captain LAURENCIN, of the Navy, and the Colonel of the 12th regiment of the line. The Duke and Duchess DE NEMOURS arrived on Saturday Parisfrom papersS t .

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was very quiet. Sales, 2,000 bales, without any change of prices. The Scotch Exchange was closed. The commercial letters received this morning by the mer chants connected with the East India and China trade are of a satisfactory character. The demand for British manufac tures is on the increase, and it is satisfactory to find that the Chinese are gradually becoming purchasers of British fabrics. It appears, by accounts received from Canterbury, that a most influential meeting was held there on Monday last, at which Sir I. L. Goldsmid was present, for the purpose of taking the most active steps to obtain the assent of Parlia ment to a project started last year for railway communica tion between London and Dover direct through Canterbury, &c. It was unanimously resolved that the direct line, as surveyed by Mr. Vignolles, was most adapted to suit the in terests of the districts to pass through, and resolutions in support of the North Kent line were cordially adopted. It will be observed by an advertisement in another column of the Sun, that much interest is taken in the establishment of a Central Cornwall and Devon line of railway. Many years ago, a company was formed to carry out in part this important object, and a considerable sum of money was spent in making the necessary surveys. Circumstances, how ever, occurred which retarded the intentions of the original company, but, which, under the auspices of the newly in tended fine, will no doubt be carried into speedy operation.

MARKET NE WB.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNEDAY Since Monday the arrivals of English Wheat for our markets, coastwise as well as by land carriage and samples, have been on a very limited scale ; however, the supply of that article on sale was small. Although the demand was by no means so active as quoted in our last report, a full average amount of bu siness was transacted at the late improvement in the quotations. The show of free Foreign Wheat was comparatively small, while the sale for it was firm, at very full prices. Bonded Wheats were again inquired after, chiefly for exports, and holders would not sell except at higher rates. Barley was In limited supply and steady request, at full prices. Superfine White Malt sold freely, other kinds slowly, at previous currencies. For Oats there was a very steady inquiry, and prices were well supported. Beans and Peas were quite as dear, while the value of Flour had an upward tendency. English ...... Irish ........ Foreign ...... Oats. I Flour. 460 qrs 2,290 sks. 6,210 I -- 3,610 - ARRIVALS. Wheat.

The Directors and Proprietors of the East India House held a quar terly general Court this day, in Leadenhall-street, for the purpose of taking into consideration the petition of Akhoond liabeer 011 a Dawen Metruum and Dewan Diaram, deputed to this country by the ex- Ameers of Sinde ; and also to hear certain charges preferred against Lieut.-Col. Ovens, late Resident at Sattara. At twelve o'clock Sir Henry Willock, Mr. Itogg, 31. P., and a consi derable body of the Directors, entered the theatre. Mr. Peter Gordon, the Proprietor, who, it will be remembered, had already tested the power of the Court to elect its own Chairman, had determined this day also to bring the question to issue, and with that view had taken the chair at least a quarter of an hour before. On the entrance, therefore, of Sir Henry Willock and his friends a scene of indescribable confusion ensued, the Chairman ordering the Hoa. Proprietor to vacate the chair, which the latter resisted, on the ground that no chairman had yet been elected by the meeting. The officers of the Court were then called in, and Mr. Gordon was lifted completely out of the chair, and placed outside of the circle more immediately used by the Directors. It was quite impossible to hear amid the noise what was said by the Chairman, Mr. Gordon, or Mr. Sergeant Gazelee, who, with half a dozen more, were speak ing at once, but as nearly as we could judge, the Learned Sergeant was entering a protest against the proceedings. Silence being somewhat restored by the clerk reading the minutes of the last meeting, Mr. Sergeant GAZELEE then rose, and said that he wished to speak on a question of privilege which involved in the highest degree the vitality of that Court. He was surprised to find that the Directors had, ou a previous day, revived a rule which had been for many years esteemed obsolete, for the purpose of ex cluding the public from the gallery. Now, before concluding with a resolution, he would endeavour to show, in the first place, that the rule itself was worthless; and secondly, that even supposing it good, it did not apply to this case. He (Mr. Sergeant Gazelee) would be the very last to refuse every courtesy to the Hon. Baronet who then filled the chair, but lie had yet to learn why he claimed It as a matter of right. lie (Mr. Sergeant Gazelee) affirmed that the Hon. Baronet had no more right to it than he had. It was claimed by the same rule which had been applied in order to exclude the public, and lie would ask why, if they paid such respect to one part of it, they did net respect it as a whole ? Ile asserted that those who entrenched themselves behind that barrier had no more tight to do so than they (the Proprietors outside) had. And now he would show from the bye-law itself, that it was quite op posed to the constitution of that Court, as exhibited in its charter. By the bye-law it was ordained that no Proprietor, unless possessed of stock to the amount of 5001., could be perMitted to come into Court. But by the charter this was declared void, and therefore they were not bound to respect it. (The Learned Sergeant then read the charter, which had no such reservation.) This showed that every Proprietor had a right to he present. Then what became of their bye-law about Proprietors holding 5001. stock only being allowed to be present ? The Hon. Proprietor then cited a case of a bye-law of last century, providing that no Proprietor holding an office of emolument under the Government should be a Director, being decided against by eminent legal authorities. on the ground that no departure could take place from the original charter Without an Act of Parliament. 'Under these circumstances he was astonished at the exclusion of the public. He was surprised at the Directors doing so. In Ibis free country it was the boasted privilege that deliberations of the kind which that Court was in the habit of entering upon were open to the public. They need not, therefore, think they would succeed in carrying on their proceedings in secret. The people of this country, he was satisfied, would net tolerate it. He would conclude by moving that the gallery as heretofore be open to the public. M r. GEORGE THOMPSON, and another Proprietor, simultaneously se conded the motion. The Cmaramast said that he and the Directors beside him had no desire that this debate should be conducted with closed doors, and the fact that such a course was adopted arose simply from the cir cumstance that on a late occasion a Proprietor had circulated bills about town, inviting the public to be present. In consequence of those notices many persons had assembled, who, in the course of the argument, had expressed their feeling in such it way as to call down the displeasure of the Court. He therefore felt that it was his duty to preserve the respectability and the dignity of the Court, by acting upou the bye-law which the Learned Sergeant had referred to. Upon that law he acted, and if any doubt were entertained of its validity, the better course would be to refer it to the Committee, who could also decide upon his claim to that chair as the elected chairman of the East India Company. That, he thought, would be the proper mode of settling these questions.—(Hear.) Mr. GEORGE THOMPSON supported at some length the motion of Mr. Sergeant Gazelee, on the ground of the illegality of the bye-law. When he came to the door of the theatre, he saw outside a notice, that Proprietors holding 500/. stock should alone be admitted. By what authority did they put that notice there ? Why did they assume those powers ? They were, altoge ther illegal. They had no more right to put that notice there than they had to come to his dwelling and deprive him of any of his domestic comforts. He was sure such an exclusion of the smaller Proprietors could not be supported in a court of law if a mandamus were taken out against that notice of exclusion. Ile appealed to the legal knowledge of many of the Directors pre sent, and especially to the Standing Counsel of the Company, whether such a bye-law could be maintained. After several other observa tions of a similar character, the lion. Proprietor concluded by in treating the Court to rescind the bye-law. If they maintained it he would disqualify himself; he would become a proprietor of 4501. stock, and let them exclude him if they dared. Ile spoke not in menace, but in sober earnestness, standing on the law, and tile protection which the Charter gave him. Mr. Hoco, M.P., said that there was not the slightest disposition on the part of the Directors to shut out the public from a full and complete knowledge of that day's or any other day . s proceedings. From time immemorial, as far as he could inform himself, the public were admitted, but their doors were not flung open to all persons from the streets. The House of Commons was not hlls eriminately opened, and in that Court admission could be obtained in a similar manner. If, therefore, any gentleman chose to send in his card to the Chairman, the Secretary, or any of the Directors, he would be at once attended to. The best evidence of their wish to accommodate the public was to be found in the fact, that no impedi ment was offered to the representatives of the press, and he trusted that the gentleman he saw present would do the Court of Directors justice in this respect. Mr. R. TWINING supported the views taken by the Directors on these matters. Pie thought their only object was to preserve order; and they were, therefore, perfectly justified in the measures tkey had adopted. Several Proprietors having spoken to the question, Mr. Sergeant GAZELEE, atter the explanation given by the Chair man with reference to the admission of the public to the gallery, withdrew his motion. THE RAJA OF SATTARA. Mr. GEORGE THOMPSON then, in a speech of considerable length, moved for a Select Committee to inquire into the conduct of Lieu tenant-Colonel Ovans during the period that he filled the office of Resident at the Court of Sattara. [The meeting had not concluded when our report left.) SECONDARIES.-(THIS DAY.) There was only one case set down for hearing this day, which was for goods sold ; the case was undefended. BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner EvaNs.) The Cor' was principally occupied in hearing summonses under the new Act. In one case a judgment-paper was produced ; the judgment kad been entered up for the nominal sum stated in the de claration, which was above the actual amount of the debt. The Learned COMMISSIONEZ refused to admit it in evi dence, and the summons was therefore dismissed, leaving the plain tiff to amend the judgment. In another case, a defendant did not appear, but had sent a letter to the plaintiff's solicitor admitting the service of the summons, and offering to pay the amount by instalments. The plaintiff pressed for an immediate order. The Learned COMMISSIONER said that the point was, whether he was not bound to commit him for not appearing, and should do so on an affidavit of debt and service of the summons being put in. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. (THIS DAY.) William May, a man of decent appearance, with his arai in a sling, was charged with begging. William Rainey, one of the constables belonging to the Mendicity Society, stated that about eight o'clock last evening, he saw the pri soner beg of several gentlemen in Pall-mall. Witness overheard him make a statement of his having met with an accident and broken his arm, and that he had but just come out of the Westminster Hospital. Oa searching him Is. I Id. in money was found in his pockets, and also a quantity of broken victuals. Dir. IlAanwicK asked the defendant If he wished to say anything in answer to the charge against him ?—The defendant said it was true he was begging, as the constable had described, but he was in duced to do so to make up a sufficient sum to purchase this' morn ing, being market morning, some fruit to sell about the streets, to support in an honest manner his wife and two children. The constable said he had made inquiries, and had ascertained that the prisoner had not been either an in or out patient of Westminster Hospital. - - - The prisoner said that part of the representation he had made to obtain charity was certainly false, but he was induced to do so Iv the fact of his having just returned from transportation. lie was sen tenced to seven years' banishment, but after serving four years and a half he obtained his discharge, and was returning to his wife and family, whom he had left in London. When at Portsmouth he broke his arm, and was obliged to go into the hospital there. Mr. Ilersuwica asked how his wife and children had been supported while he was away from them ? The prisoner said his wife had worked for their maintenance in the best way she could. The wife and the two children were brought forward in the Court Their clothing, though ragged, was remarkably clean. The elder, child was a very line-grown girl, about nine years of age, and the youngest a strong healthy boy, about seven, The wife said Ole had worked hard to support the children and herself, while her husband wasabsent, and If be now could sell a little fruit about the streets, they might manage to obtain a livelihood without troubling the parish. Mr. HARDWICK said that begging could not be permitted under any circumstances, but in this case the prisoner should have the benedt of the circumstances under which he was PitlcC42 lie was ordered to be discharged, with a caution not to be brought before the Court again. The prisoner, with much emotien, expressed his thanks for his release. SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—A young molly, miss Pear son, residing in Gloucester-place, Portman-square, yesterlay received a serious accident on the head from the falling of a flower-pot. While returning from Ilyde Perk, through Park-street, Grosvenor-square, a large flower-pot was blown down, and struck Miss Pearson op the right side of the head. She was rendered insensible from the blow, and was carried into the house Prom whence the pot fell, Reobje caupcit be too carenil in squally weather of havini 1191r* pot on wialvt-011s in s's'eture rsition, HAYMARKET THEATRE. - - A one-act version of the French farce, Babiole et Joblot, was produced at this theatre last evening, under the title of A Cabinet Question. The adapter was Mr. Planche—the hero was Mr. Buckstone. It is needless to add that it was triumphantly successful. Thus runs the story. Tom Polish (Buckstone), the foreman of a cabinet-maker, has, at the risk of his lite, stopped a pair of running horses, and has thus saved the life of a lady of high rank. The lady smiles upon Tom, who is dressed in his best, and thanks him in the most interesting manner. The heart of the cabinet-maker takes fire ; he declares to the lady that he is Alfonso Montmorency ; and from that moment loses his time and his money in en deavouring to sustain his assumed character, and, if possible, to win her heart and hand. He neglects his old sweetheart, Miss Hos,twood (Julia Bennett), his master's neice, who really loves him, and at last, on being ordered to take some goods to the lady of his love, he positively refuses to be seen by her in his working-dress, and is about tto leave his service, notwithstand ing the entreaties of Miss Rosewood, when the lady of his love enters, and he is discovered. He now discovers that this lady is engaged to a young man of family, whom he had known as a boy. The young man is poor, but Polish makes him rich, by discovering for him a secret drawer in a cabinet, in which is found his uncle's will, leaving him a large fortune. Of course a double marriage takes place, and Miss Rosewood becomes Mrs. Tom Polish. Buckstone is exactly fitted in the character of Polish. The dialogue is written with great point, and, from the rising to the falling of the curtain, the audience was in a roar. It was announced for repetition amidst a hurricane of applause. • • A,4,, \'-‘• Al • - . . -• I. NW , • . 4. ‘W .A1 :4111110, 0 741 4 1 4 4.4•4 • 11 - 1 . 01 • ' i 4 woo,- MONEY MARKET.

Letters in time on Friday, the 26th inst." PRICE or GoLD.—The premium on gold at Paris is 14i per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 3L 17s. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 51 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 60, it follows that gold is 0.35 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh, the price of gold is 4324 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 Si ; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 9i, it follows that gold is 0.29 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. AWFUL INSTANCE OF SUDDEN DEATH.—Yester day an inquest was held before Mr. Carter, the Coroner for Surrey, at the Duke of York, Swan-lane, Rotherhithe, on the body of Mr. Charles Dermes, aged fifty-five, a timber merchant, who died under very awful circumstances. It appeared that on Friday last the de cessed was employed in measuring the cargo of one of the Baltic vessels, and appeared in excellent health and spirits. Suddenly he was observed to stagger and fall down, and upon one of his assistants going to his aid, he appeared wholly insensible. A surgeon was sent for, who immediately attended, but pronounced the deceased quite dead, probably from the rupture of a blood vessel. The Coroner asked if any of the crew were present, but it was stated the vessel had sailed. The jury returned a verdict in accordance with the me dical evidence. ALARMING ACClDENT.—Yesterday afternoon, be tween three and four o'clock, an accident of a most alarming descrip tion occurred to Henry Forsyth, Esq. It appears that that gentleman is on a visit to his daughter, Mrs. Apjohn, a lady residing at Ken sington New Town. In descending from his dressing-room, he un fortunately forgot that three or four steps intervened between that and the landing-place. The staircase being somewhat dark, he missed his footing, and was precipitated over the balusters. In his descent Mr. Forsyth caught at the handrail, which gave way in his grasp, and he fell to the foot of the stairs with fearful violence. Me dical assistance was immediately summoned to the aid of the unfor tunate gentleman, who it was discovered had sustained a compound fracture and dislocation of the right arm, besides several severe con tusions of a very alarming nature. THE FOOT HURDLE RACING AT WEST DRAYTON. —Yesterday, the silver cup, which was open to all England for com petition, came off near the King's Head at West Drayton. The con testing distance was to run over a quarter of mile of ground, and to leap ten hurdles (5 feet 6 inches high), placed at equal distances. The spectators were numerous. The entries for the race were—John Smith (the Regent-street Pet), Patterson (the Flying Tailor), West hall, Martin, and E. Smith (of London), and Maxfield (the North Star). In betting, the Pet was taken against the field. The neces sary arrangement was made, and the men came to the starting mark attired in racing costume ; the signal was given, and the men bounded away; the Pet took the lead, and cleared the nearer hur dles in admirable style : he was closely followed by his opponents for two hundred yards, when they fell off; the Pet maintained the lead, and won the cup very easily, his opponents not having a chance with him. The race for a silver snuff-box was won by Martin, of London. THE N EW JUDGE OF THE WESTMINSTER COURT OF REQUESTS. —Notwithstanding the election of Mr. D. C. Moylan to the office of Judge of the Court of Requests, in Castle-street, Leices ter-square, the several parishes in Westminster on Saturday pro ceeded to the election of Commissioners of the Court for the ensuing year, under the Parochial Act. This had led to some remark in Westminster, as it was generally supposed the judge was appointed in the place of those gentlemen, and the question is asked, what part are they to take in the decisions of the Court ? If simply as `a jury under the directions of the judge, it is expected that many will not serve, as the qualification required is a high one, and confines the selection to the higher classes of tradesmen. And, again, it is said, if the commissioners are to decide irrespective of the judge, his office will be a useless one. It seems that the Learned Gentleman cannot take his seat until approved of by her Maje,ty at the next Privy Council. The salary is estimated at about 1,2001. a year, and it is expected that under this new arrangement a more commodious court will be erected in the place of the present inconvenient office. - THE HON. ARTILLERY COMPANY, LONDON.—ThiS corps, of which Field Marshal his Royal Highness Prince Albert is Colonel, proceeded from London to Woolwich-marshes on Monday, under the command of Captain Iselin, and carried on practice with one iron and two brass six-pounder guns, at 600 yards range. Lieut. Rooke had charge of the range, and the river being moderately clear o f vessels, there was not much interruption to the firing, and the practice was very good. Twenty rounds were fired from each gun. THE RICHMOND RAlLWAT.—Yesterday the works on this line of railway were commenced with great activity at .Wandsworth, and before the end of the week the entire line wiU be occupied by excavators and bricklayers. The contract has been taken by Mr. Knill a person who has had much experience in railway matters, and has executed some heavy contracts on the Great Wes tern line. This railway will have its terminus In the Broadway, Richmond, and traversing almost a dead level, as well as keeping in a paraPel line with the upper Richmond road, will pass through the upper side of Mortlake, cross East Sheen-lane, Barnes Common, on which there will be a station adjacent to the Hammersmith-bridge, New-road, and continue with very little cutting to Putney. Here, upon a portion of the estate of Temple Leader, Esq., M.P., a cutting commences, which will be carried through the High-street, over which a very handsome bridge, fifty ftet wide, will be thrown, and a station will be erected, The cutting continues to North Fold, when an embankment succeeds, and is carried to the high road leading from Wandsworth to Putney, over which a bridge will be thrown, and then commences the most dillieult part of the undertaking. ♦ viaduct, 300 yards in length, consisting of 20 arches of 26 feet span, and three arches will be those crossing the Wandle, the canal, and the mill-streams. A great portion of the viaduct tra verses an extensive osier bed, the drainage of which will be extremely difficult. Three millions of bricks will be consumed in the erection of this viaduct, and its estimated cost is 16,0001. The railway after wards crosses the Lower Wandsworth-road, at which plaint there will be a station, and a continued embankment unites it with the South-Western Railwey at Falcon-bridge, Battersea, where alert will also be a station. The entire line is positively to be opened'in the early part of May next. INFLUX or SHIPPING. —A great number of vessels have arrived in the river and different docks within these two or three days, from China, the East and West Indies, the different colonies, and indeed every part of the navigable globe. No less than upwards of 150 vessels reported at the Custom House on Monday alone, and the long room of that establishment was literally besieged by the captains of the different vessels tendering the reports, or authentic accounts of the cargoes, aocording to law, which requires the master of every vessel to report his vessel and an account of her cargo within twenty-fbur hours of arrival. The present influx is remarkable, as, although the weather has been very blusterous of late, the winds have not been adverse to the arrival of ships in the Channel. This timely spur to business will be much felt and estimated at the different dock establishments, as, from the extreme slackness and consequent want of employment for the numerous poor and hard-working labouring men at those places, a great deal of poverty and want has existed in the neigh • bourhood. The present pressure appears also to extend to Liverpool, as in two days nearly sixty reported, and the day before very nearly an equal number of vessels arrived from all parts of the world at that great mercantile and commercial port. THE DESERTER'S FEE.—A. question having arisen as to the payment of the fee of 2s. to the magistrate's clerk for making out the commitment of a deserter, the military authorities referred to the Secretary at War, and have been inform e d o f the re gulations established at the War-office, dated April 23, 1835 , viz.:-.-: That the fee in question should be paid by the party receiving the reward for apprehension ; or, where no reward is offered b y the public, proved inconvenient, and was, therefore, altered by memo randum, dated April 28, 1840, which directs that this fee, as well as that to the styli practitioner for examination, shall in the first in stance be defrayed by the gaoler into whose custody the deserter is committed, who is to be repaid by the escort sent to remove the pri: soner from custody. NIGHT BALLOON ASCENT AT CREMORNE GARDENS. —Yesterday evening, Mr: Henry Green, in company with a gentle= man of the name of Williams, made a night balloon ascent from Cremorne-gardens, which was stated to be the last of the season, and which was unfortunately attended with nearly serious conse quences to the adventurous aeronaut, arising from the improper construction of the firework machinery, which was attached to the car- of the balloon, and which was the manufacture of a pyro teohnie artist of the name of Baker. As this was the first occasion of two persons making an aerial excursion with fire works, the weight of which was about 301b5., it was necessary that the gas should have greater power. To give the gas an increase of power, it must be deprived of a great portion of its carbon, and which was effectively done under the direction of Mr. Kirkham, sun,, who is attached to the Chelsea station of the Imperial Gas manufactory, from which the gas was supplied. About nine o'clock Mr. H. Green and his companion entered the car, when the frame-work which contained the pyrotechnic exhibition was at tached. It was now, however, found that the mode of ignition hitherto adopted, which was by means of a fusee or percussion (and which is a course practised by Mr. Southby and Mr. Darby), so that the discharge dOes not take place till the aerial machine has attained so high an altitude that to those on terra firma there can be no danger, was not to be pursued, and that a match was to be applied. Everything being in readiness, Mr. H. Green was released. At the same time tke match was lighted, and this before the balloon was free from the earth almost immediately communicated with the fireworks, which commenced discharging a shower of lire among those wile were close upon the balloon. The Offeet was mo 111ei1s4rliy appalling to them ; but before they had time to recover from their state of alarm, there came a rapid discharge of Roman candles, which were projected to the fence that was formed to preL. vent the ingress of the company, The utmost consternation now prevailed, and many ran away for their protection. Some alarm at the same time was raised for the aeronaut, as some of the Roman citncties ascended toward the balloon, while one of the candies set fire to the gas, which immediately ran towards it. fortunately the machine escaped uninjured, but there is no doubt that the aeronauts were in a state of great alarm. The gas was promptly turned off by order of Mr. Kirltharit, Some ladies fainted, but there was no report in the kardens of any one having received any personal in jur balloon went in a Iftsterly -STANLY SI3OItTA- -- 7-"" n enever public expectation is . lit • - 'Untion. weir it we gee Ben ol lawicwn!. mark La, 1 % .., ...wheat pitch an/Piga the z erilg rtllllign, the invariabl e Irt i'r ISDitton THE FUNDS.--(CLOSING PR ICES : ) S" vs ONE C ', LO O.': PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS.
