NATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE AND EQUITABLE FIRE INSURANCE COMPANIES, 26, CORNHILL, LONDON. THE WIDOW of the late Rev. GEORGE EDWARD HOLLEST, of Frimley, Surrey —Fernley, Bag shut, December 4, 1350.—An earnest APPEAL to public benevolence is respectfully submitted by a few friends and neighbours on behalf of the WIDOW of the late Rev. GEORGE EDWARD HOLIEST, who for a p,riod of 15 years, in an exemplary manner, performed the duties of his church, and was distinguished by his benevolence and charity in the wide district under his charge. The act of atrocity by which the Rev. Mr. holiest was suddenly cut off is universally known, but those only who are acquainted with his posi tion are aware that he never had the means of making a provision for his widow. Under such circumstances, it is hoped that the case of Mrs. holies will commend itself to the generous consideration of those who are blessed with the means of alleviating, so far as human sympathy and assis.ance can alleviate, the distress of a fatnily so fearfully bereft of its natural supporter. The income of Mrs. Holiest does not exc'ed 401. per annum, and subscriptions are earnestly solicited in aid of these inadequate means. Subscriptions will be thank fully received by the foll.,wlng bankers:—Messrs. Berries, Farquhar, and Co.; Messrs. Williams, Deacon, and Co.; Messrs. Barclay, Tritten, and Co. ; Messrs. Coutts, and Co.; Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Co.; Sir S. Scott, Bart., and Co., I, Cavendish square ; Messrs. Mangles Brothers, Guildford; Messrs.

" The sickness among the 59th Regiment continues I to abate, still the men generally are in a very debi litated state, and deaths occasionally occur. Since May to the present time 109 have died. "Rear-Admiral Austin, Commander-in-Chief in the East, arrived here in her Majesty's ship Hastings on the 10th inst. "By an express this morning from Macao we learn that a fearful and melancholy occurrence took place there yesterday, the 29th inst. It was the anniver sary of the birth of the Consort of the Queen of Por tugal. The Portuguese frigate the Donna Maria fired the usual salute at noon. The captain and all the officers but two were on board, and it is said some officers from the United States ship Marion, all of hom were to have dined at 3 o'clock on board the Portuguese frigate. About half-past 2 o'clock the latter vessel blew up, and officers and men, about 200 in number, perished, with the exception of one officer and 15 men, picked out of the water by the boats of the Marion. We have not heard whether this vessel has sustained injury. A fatality seems to attend all matters connected with Macao " Our latest accounts from Canton mention that the force sent by Government against the rebels bad been defeated, and that one or two mandarins had been killed. " It is difficult to conjecture what the issue of the present state of things will be ; in the meantime it causes great interruption to trade. In one of the pro vinces an edict against Christianity has been issued by the Prefect. It pronounces Christianity to be illegal, incredible, and absurd. " Our dates from Shanghai are to the 18th of October. " No political news is advised. "In tea the transactions have been considerable both in Canton and at Shanghai. At the former place 115 chops Congou settled at very full prices ; at the latter large transactions had taken place both in black and green for the American market. The total export from China to date is 24,000,0001 b., nearly the same as last year. This includes an excess in the ex port of green of nearly 700,0001 b. " There have been considerable transactions in silk, at former rates. The export from China to date is about 8,000 bales, against 3,700 bales to the same period last year. Very little of No. 1 and 2 Tsatlee remains over. It is very confidently asserted that the total export of the season will not exceed that of last year. " Import market at Canton improved ; that of Changhai rather languid. " Captain Barkex, of her Majesty's brig Serpent, has been promoted to her Majesty's ship Amazon. Lieutenant Luard, first of the Hastings, to the Ser pent. " Her Majesty's steamer Sphynx arrived here from Singapore on the 21st. "In harbour—Her Majesty's ship Hastings and steamer Sphynx. At Whampoa, the Amazon. Ser pent relieves the Contest at Amoy. Her Majesty's screw-steamer Reynard by the last accounts was at • Shanghai, also her Majesty's brig Pilot. " Our latest dates are—from England, the 24th August ; Calcutta, the 10th of September; Bombay, the 18th of September; Singapore, the 9th of Oc tober ; and New South Wales, the 3d of August." COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the 2d to the 15th of Nov. inclusive.) BOMBAY, FRIDAY EVENING, Nov. 15. Since our last money has not been in much more in quiry, and the banks having raised their rates of interest 1 per cent. all round looks more like a precautionary measure than any thing else. Timid people are, how ever, anticipating considerable tightness in the beginning of the year. Government securities have fallen in value, and the following are the quotations:-Sicca Fives 1034 to 104; Sicca Fours, 87; Company's Fives, 99i to Company's Fours, 83i to 84. The share market is dull, few transfers taking place. Tho rates of the day are- Bank of Bombay, 191 per cent. premium; Oriental Bank, 16i per cent, discount; Commercial Bank, 8 per cent. discount; and Agra Bank, 2 per cent. discount. The report by the auditors of the Oriental Bank has just been published, and it represents the business of the compacy at all its branches to be sound and satisfactory. In our import market a rather considerable amount of business has been done, holders having come down some what in their rates in order to be able to avail themselves of the extremely favourable rate of exchange ruling for some time past. The Dewallee holidays having terminated has also tended to an increase et business, but the native dealers have not yet entered the market as freely as might ihave been expected. There has been but one arrival, the Owen Glendower from London, since our last. The export of cotton during the fortnight has been to a tolerably large extent. Piece Goods-Prices for most descriptions of piece goods having been lowered by holders, a pretty fair buci ness has been transacted in them. Up-country suppliers have not as yet entered the market, and it is expected that when they commence purchasing prices may again improve. Gray goods have been disposed of as follows: -Shirtings, 10,873 pieces, at from 3ir. to 6r. 7a. per piece, 40 to 45 inch 60 reed being chiefly inquired tor, the inferior qualities being dull; drills, 400 pieces, at sr. sa. per piece; long cloths, 3,577 pieces, at 4r. 12a. 6p. to sr. 3a. per piece. The price of these fabrics has some what improved, and they are in better inquiry than for merly. T cloth, 5,650 pieces, at 3/r. to 3r. 7a. per piece. Oa these a decline has taken place, but they have been in some request in consequence. Jaconnets, 9,200 pieces, chiefly fine makes, at Ir. 4e. 9p. to lr. 7e. 6p. per piece. Demand dull, prices as formerly. Madapollams, 23,200 pieces, at Ir. 14a. 6p. to 4r. 6a. per piece. The finer qualities are in little request, the sa'es effected being of the medium and lower descriptions. Do mestics, no business done; no sales reported. Mulls, 600 pieces, at 2/r. per piece. In bleached goods there has been little done. Shirtings, 1,350 pieces, at 4r. 14a. to 6r. ss. per piece, the quality most in demand being 66 to 72 reed. 36-inch 40 yards mulls and medium jaconnets are in pretty fair inquiry at for mer rates ; while madapollams, jaconnet checks, satin spots, and check are dull, and uninquired for. Dyed Goods-Turkey red plain cloth has sold to extent of 3,650 pieces, at 7/r. to 8/r. per piece ; Swiss pattern prints and mulls are in fair inquiry, but we have not heard of any sales. Fancy Goods-Some few sales have had effect in some of these fabrics, but gene rally they are of dull sale, Swiss lappets, prints, pine, and zebra dresses particularly so. For bleached lap pet scarfs, low lappets and book muslins, bleached and gray domestics, and bleached mulls there is a slight inquiry. Cotton Yarn-The sales amount to 435 bales of water and 100 bales of mule twist. The prices of nearly all counts of both have fallen slightly, but holders in general will not part with their stocks at the rates offered. No transactions in dyed yarns have been reported. Sales :-170 bales of water twist, 3001 b. each, No. 30, at 9ia. per lb. ; 190 bales of water twist, 3001 b. each, Nos. 20, at 7is. per lb. ; 75 bales of water twist, 3001 b. each, Nos. 20, at 711., 30, at 9/a. per lb. ; 50 bales of mule twist, 3001 b. each, Nos. 40, at 9 / a ., 50, at 114 x. per lb. ; 50 bales of mule twist, 3001 b. each, No. 30, at fiia. per lb. Metals-Prices have further declined for nearly all descriptions. Copper-A large sale of South American has taken place at a considerable advance in price. Tile has declined, owing to the large importation from Aus tralia noticed in our last. A good demand exists for braziers', large quantities of which "to arrive" have been offered for sale by native importers. Iron of all descriptions is dull of sale. Swedish steel, both in tubs and fagots, remains as before. A decline has taken place in both sheet and pig lead and spelter. Cochineal-A slight decline in value has taken place. Saffron-As before, good quality being quoted at 13r. per lb. No sales reported. Woollens-Very little business has been done in these since our last. Sales:- R. A. 36 pieces 63 Xl9 scarlet woollen cloth 1 13 per yard. 84 „ 56X 25 coarse ditto 2,300 „ 32 flannel 6,900 , 32 ditto Beer-The only sales during the f or t n i g ht have„ been 20 hhds. Allsopp's, at 80r. per hhd., and 22 dozen Lon don bottled Allsopp's ale, at 6r. per dozen. The demand for this brew continues brisk, and as there is very little in the market, holders are unwilling to part with their small stock even at this high figure. Spirits-We hear of sales of brandy as follows:-16 hhds., at 1 r. per gallon, and 9,500 dozen French brandy at 7/r. per dozen. In other spirits we have not heard of anything doing. Wines-A sale of 600 dozen claret, at Sr. per dozen, is reported. Marine Stores—No sales to report, there being scarcely any inquiry for any of the articles included under this head. Opium—Very little doing in the drug, the price of which has declined to I,loor. for old, and 150 r. for new. Cotton Wool—The purchases during the fortnight amount to 4,850 bales and 460 candies. Since the ar rival of the last mail, prices, which had previously slightly given way, have become firm at our quotations. Freights had been steady during the fortnight at 21. 103. to 21. 15s. for both London and Liverpool; but lat terly sevcral large vessels have been engaged for the former at 21. ss. per ton, and rates are beginning to de cline. To Liverpool the rate is 21, 129. 6d. to 31. There are now in harbour ten vessels loading for London, ten for Liverpool, two for the Clyde, and five for China, with upwards of a dozen unengaged. Exchange—The rate for six months' eight credit bills has continued steady at 2s. at which large trans actions have had effect. For document bills the rate of the day is 2s. 2d. to 2s. 2id. On Calcutta, 60 days, 99r., and on China, 219 r. per 100 dolls.

Since last month we have to notice a marked improve ment in our import market, arising from returning con fidence on the part of dealers that the causes which have operated against the safe transit of goods to the in terior will shortly be removed. Cotton—Prices, have advanced, but the transactions have been limited. The quotations are—for Bombay, Ts. 8 3 to Ta. 9; Bengal, 'ls. 8 7 to Ts. 9 2; Madras, Ts. 86 to 9 1. The sales are estimated at 15,008 bales. Stock, 54,000 bales, against 76,000 bales in 1849. Cotton yarn has advanced materially, owing to short stocks in Chinese hands, and to the firmness of holders. Nos. 16-24, 29 dolls. to 30 dolls. per pecul; Nos. 28 32, 31 dolls. to 32 dolls. 750.; Nos. 38-42, 32 dolls. 75c. The sales amount to about 1,400 bales. Shirtinga have also improved somewhat, and holders are firm. Grays quoted 2 dolls. 15e. to 2 dolls. 95c.; whites, 2 dolls. Ioc. to 3 dolls. 100.

About 11,000 pieces in all have been sold. Camlets—English, 20 dolls. to 22 dolls.; Dutch, 13 dells. to 20 dolls. No sales of the latter.

Of Congou the settlements have been 115 chops, making a total of 440 chops from the opening of the season to date.

This vessel was lost on her passage from South ampton to New York. She was a new iron boat, built two years since by Prim, of Hull. She had already made two successful trips between Hamburgh and :New York. She left Southampton on the Ist ult. with a valuable cargo and 180 souls on board. The passengers and crew were principally Germans. She was discovered by the American packet Devon shire, Captain Hovey, after having been beating about in great distress for eight days. In the at tempt to rescue the persons on board the steamer, four of the crew of the Devonshire, and fire of the passengers of the Helena Sloman were lost. From the time of the Helena Sloman's depar ture from Southampton, on the Ist of November, until the 19th, nothing worthy of note occurred. On the evening of the 19th she encountered a fearful gale, which she braved gallantly until eleven P.M., when a heavy sea struck her on the stern and starboard quarter, causing her to quiver from stem to sterm. The rudder was then found to have parted from the ship. The steam was then blown off. Considerable uneasiness now prevailed—rudder lost, stern-post gone, ship leaking, propeller not able to be worked by her sails, owing to ber great lengOt (225 feet). On the 21st and 22d the gale was most violent, and the pumps were worked without intermission by means of the engine. On the 22d a distress rudder was tried and found to be wholly inefficient. At ten a.m. on that day a barque was seen about ten miles distant, with all sails set, and steering west. Distress signals were hoisted on board the Helena Sloman without success. About three P.m. the crew came aft, and begged permission to lower the boats and pull for the barque. The captain, thinking it useless, and their inability to reach the barque impracticable, refused. After much discussion amongst the crew, which was likely to end in a mutiny, the crew ac quiesced. At sunset the captain and crew of the Helena Sloman succeeded in Fetting her head round, but all to no purpose. On Thursday, the 28th, all was joy on board at the announcement of a sail in sight. Signals were made, which were happily ob served on board the sail, and which sail turned out to be the American packet Devonshire. As soon as the-Devonshire came near the Helena Sloman she commenced rendering assistance, and succeeded in saving all the passengers and crew, with the excep tion of five; but, in her noble endeavour, she lost four of her own crew. The captain of the Helena Sloman remained on board until the last, and he wished his men, who were alongside in the boats waiting for him to come on board, so that they might be enabled to testify that the ship was sinking, but they refused ; and he then saved all the papers he could, and then left, her to her fate. She sunk soon afterwards. List of persons drowned :--The names of the four of the crew of th e D evons hi re who were lost i n the noble endeavour t o save t h e crew an d passengers of the Helena Sl oman were as fol l ows : —Mr. Johnson, D third mate of the evonshire ; John H as son, of Lon donderry ; G eorge Riley, of Hull; and Daniel Mac arthur, of Montreal, seamen. The names of the pas sengers of the Helena Sloman who were lost were— Mr. Shelson, of Mecklenburg ; Dr. Lutz, of Heil bron ; Augusta Rozenbuck, of Mecklenburg; John Popake, of Mecklenburg ; and Henry Otterburg, o Hanover. The English passengers who joined the Helena Sloman at Southampton were — Mr. Sladden and by wife, Mr. John Young, Mr. J. F. Geary, Mr. Stehi len, and Mr. Busher.

EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE. Capital-500,0 'Ol. (Incorpetrated under 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office are Moderate and equitable Rates of Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits. rhe difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so great. that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess than calcteation. It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the amount of annual Premiums received by each. It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers, that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the true tisk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu rance Company is established. rha - true rate of Pretruum for Fire Insurance can only be ap sroached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted • n, or systematically applied. Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as security against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer is largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest by supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica tion and Avenge, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant anal sic of its own experience, from time to tie e, adopt such rates of Premium as the nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange ments as regards tariffs with other offices. With this view an annual inyestiga , ion will be made into each class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have been in force for three years. Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon every description of Pr merty on moderate terms. Farming Stock insured at 3s per cent, without the Average Clause.

The distance of the Queen's Guineas is three miles, and the imposts have been thus altered:— at. lb. at. lb. 3 years old wer e 7 2 will be 7 4 4 ~ ), 9 2 „ 810 5 „ ~ 10 0 „ 9 4 6 and aged „ 10 5 „ 9 7 We hope that the new tariff will induce a large access of imports, the unpopularity of the previous one being evidenced by its coming last year to a match, with 5 to 1 on the four years old, versus his senior by the year, giving 121 b. - Chester, Shrewsbury, and Manchester, under the old regime, will watch the innovation with deep interest, and, should it be found beneficial in the increase of fields, a.; we anticipate that it will be, they will of course follow suit, and their petition meet with a similar reception.

FATAL ACCIDENT IN THE WEST INDIES.—A fatal accident ocourred on board the Inflexible, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Dyke, Nov. 1, while lying off St. John de Nicaragua. It appears that the crew were at general quarters firing at a target with the large guns, and whilst a quarti•rmaster, of the name of Hayman, was in the act of ramming home a cartridge, it exploded, and completely blew him to pieces; the captain of the gun losing a portion of his lett thumb at the same time. Comet, steam-vessel, Commander Otter, surveying at the Hebrides, is ordered to Queenstown to be laid up for the winter. Woodlark, surveying vessel, Lieutenant Commander Thomas, lately engaged at the Orkneys, is ordered to be paid off at Woolwich this day at noon. SUDDEN DEATH OF A CONVICT.—Reuben Clifford, a convict, while employed in discharging the cargo of a coal-brig at the dockyard, Woolwich, yesterday, wa s taken suddenly ill, fell down, and expired almost im mediately. ACCIDENTS AT WOOLWICH.—A lad named Isaac, a caulker's apprentice, felt into the King William Dock at Woolwich-yard, a depth of from twenty to thirty feet, and fractured his thigh. He was immediately conveyed to the Royal Marine Infirmary, where every attention was paid to him. Mr. Wilson, timekeeper at the factory, when passing up the yard yesterday morn ing, from the slippery state , of the stones,fell down and fractured his arm. PORTSM , UTH, WEDNESDAY. — The Phaeton, 50, Cap tain G. Elliot, sailed from Spithoad this morning for Lisbon, with dispatches and supernumeraries for the squadron of Commodore Martin. The Rogue, 60, Captain M'Dougall, got steam up this morning at ten o'clock, and tried speed at the measured mile in Stokes' Bay until two P.M. The Amphitrite, 26, Captain Frederick, has been un docked today and placed is the basin for rigging, &Q., where she has been masted and comm4sioned. The Eurydice, 26, has been brought d iwn from the ordinary to-day and placed in the old basin, in readiness for docking to undergo a thorough overhaul, and, if ne cessary, repair, prior to recommission. Mr. Sabben, assistant-surgeon of the dockyard, has discovered a method for preventing corrosion, oxidation, &c., of iron tanks, shot, &c. The process is by means of a covering of zinc, and is extremely simple as well as inexpensive, taking into consideration the immense de struction and corrosion from oxidation, more particularly in ships' tanks, which are now constantly requiring clean ing out and repairing. The perfect success of this in vention, it must be admitied, can only be safely tested by time; at present, however, it has received the moss favourable opinion of scientific men. - 1 0 - 1 0 - 2 0 - 1 0 - 3 0 - 5 0 . 5 - 1 1 10 - 5 - 5 10 - 2 2 2 1 0 1 0 5 0 OVERLAND MAIL INDIA AND CHINA. We have received our letters and papers from India and China. The dates are—Calcutta, Nov. 8 ; Born. bay, Nov. 16; and China, Oct. 29. The following is the postscript of the letter of a Calcutta correspondent : CALCU TTA, Nov. 8, 1850. The day has brought forth nothing to give interest to my postscript. No news, local or up country, since yesterday. It now seems doubtful whether the Bishop of Calcutta is going to visit Sir James Brooks at Sara wak; one of the papers this morning says that the vessel in which his Lordship proceeds to sea a few days hence has no orders to go beyond Singapore. Many good people in England will be glad to hear that the old man seems to have taken a fresh lease of life. I happened to hear him preach lately, and was quite surprised at his vigour and animation. No change in commercial matters to report to-day, and no shipping arrivals beyond those which appear in the newspapers. (From the Overland Bombay Times of Saturday, Nov. 16.) SUMMARY.—The cold weather has now fairly set in at Bombay. The Commander• in-Chief returned yes terday to the Presidency ; the Governor is expected next week. Sir C. Napier has by this time left Simla on his way from India; he comes down by the Indus through Slade, and will in all likelihood embark as formerly at Kurrachee. He thus closes a promising, and on the whole in many respects a highly merito rious career, unpopularly. The promotion of the sepoys of the Bengal army to the rank of officers, and their advancement afterwards on the principle of seni ority —a thing unknown in the other Presidencies, has long been by almost unanimous consent regarded as the great stumbling-block European officers had to deal with; this Sir C. Napier has continued—he was universally expected to have extinguished it. The Governor-General is now on his way to Lahore and Peshawur. Sir George Berkeley, it is said, will tender his resignation of the Madras command on the arrival of Sir W. Gomm—declining to be under the orders of an officer so much his junior. Sir George Anderson is supposed to have about this time arrived at Ceylon—the appointment seems eminently acceptable to those over whom he has been placed. His retirement seems to have occasioned deep and universal regret at the Mauritius. The Nepaulese Ambassador arrived here on the 61h by the Feroze from Suez. He was entertained in state by Sir W. Yardley on the evening of the Bth, and by Sir E. Perry on the 9th; he left on the 14th for the holy city of D warka, in Kattiawar, on a pilgrimage, in the steamer Atalanta. On his return thence he will pro ceed direct to Calcutta. Tidings of the death of his kinswoman the Queen of Nepaul have thrown him and his suite into deep mourning. The small iron steamer Nimrod, belonging to Government, having been lengthened and enlarged at Bombay for service on the Indus, left on the 22d August for Kurrachee ; she was overtaken by severe weather, and wrecked on the coast of Kattiawar on the 26th. A large fire ball was seen from Bombay to burst on the evening of the 6th ; it left a tail and nucleus behind it, which were visible for twenty minutes, and were mistaken for a comet. The report of the proceedings which occurred at the trial of Major Bartleman, of the 44th Bengal Na tive Infantry, have been published ; the imputations preferred against him were given in our last. The gallant officer, it may be remembered, was charged with scandalous and infamous conduct, in having, under the cloak of an almost paternal authority, with which he had been entrusted by her father, endea voured to seduce the affections sf the wife of Lieute nant Shelton, of the 33d Native Infantry. The matter appears to have stood thus :—Mrs. Shelton was the daughter of Dr. Laughton, formerly a teacher at Sitnla, and who in this capacity laid Major Bartleman under obligations to him by the care he nad taken of a sickly boy. She had been for some years married to Lieutenant Shelton, of the 33d Na tive Infantry. The union, of which several children bad been the fruit, appears of late to have been an unhappy one. The husband seems to have fallen into intemperate habits, and 'he quarrels in the family were frequent and noto rious. In January last the unhappy couple were the guests of Major Birtirman, to whom before this they had been but slightly known, and while such, the con duct of the husband to his wife and host was occa sionally such as to induce him to volunteer a full written apology to the latter for what had occurred. In February he proceeded to Singapore on sick leave for the benefit of his health, leaving his wife behind him at Calcutta, where she appeared to prefer resid ing alone, although she had friends at no great dis. tance. About this time she wrote to her father com plaining of her husband's ill-usage, and appeared desirous of' a separation. Dr. Laughton wrote in reply, under cover to Major Bartleman, exhorting his daughter to a reconciliation, and entreating her to use her best endeavours to soothe the mind and regain the affections of her husband. He reminded her that her lot had now been cast with his, and that nothing but extreme necessity should ever in duce her to think of leaving him. To Major Bartle man, who was his senior, and had been twice a widower, and might therefore have been supposed capable of being entrusted with such a charge, he wrote thanking him for the kindness he had shown his daughter, and committing her in case of extre inity to his protection. Lieutenant Shelton was re peatedly written to by Major Bartleman during his Absence, and the circumstances mentioned that he had taken Mrs. Shelton to a ball, and was in the habit of driving out with her in the morning, adding that he had recommended her to joie her friends at Kish naghur, but that she preferred apparently sojourning at Calcutta. Mr. Shelton returned from Singapore early in July, but does not appear to have expressed any dissatisfaction with the conduct of his wife. On the 16th of August Major Bartleman wrote him a note declining the continuance of his acquaintance; on what grounds does not appear, and Mr. Shelton expressed his regret at the loss of his friendship. Friendly relations between the parties seem soon after wards to have been renewed ; on the 221, and again on the 23d of August, Major Bartleman drove Mrs. Shelton in his buggy from Barrackpore to Cal cutta, by invitation of her husband. On the latter of these days Mr. Shelton found on his wife's pillow a letter addressed to her by Major Bartleman, such as a devoted husband might have written to his wife —such as none but an accepted lover would have written to his mistress. The unhappy couple imme diately proceeded to Calcutta, to consult a lawyer as to what was to be done. On their return they met with Major Bartleman; high words pawed between them, when the Major preceded them on horseback to their home, and there awaited their arrival. The husband forbade his entrance—the wife accepted his arm. When inside he was repeatedly ordered to the door; he persisted in remaining, as he wished to have some explanations with Mrs. Shelton. Driven to fury at thus being defied and insulted in his own house, Mr. Shelton rushed to his bed-room and brought out a pistol, which he snapped at Major Bar tleman. That officer seized him, wrested the pistol . _ from his hand, pushed him down, and beat him with a whip ; the table was upset in the scuffle, aid was called for in vain, and a fearful scene, apparently ie the presence of the lady, ensued. The pistol turned out to have been loaded—it was fired off by Major Bart'man, whose life just before had been so nearly jeopardised. Having quitted the house at length, he soon after returned and placed Mr. Shelton under arrest. Some hours after this he induced Colonel Pettiogal, corn- tnanding the 33d, to permit the arrest to be removed, a fresh arrest having been imposed by this officer immediately afterwards. 1 circumstance very ma terial to the character of the intercourse between the parties came out on the examination ; that on the 223 ef August, the day before the letter was written, the discovery cf which first awakened suspicion i❑ the mind of the husband, and led to the explosion, Major Bartleman had put himself in the hands of his law adviser, who had engaged counsel to defend the action he expected to be brought against him in the civil court. Mrs. Shelton appears, in defiance of the known wish of her husband, to have encouraged the visits both of Major Bartleman and a Mr. Downing, and to have taken legal advice as to whether she might be deprived of her children. Here the matter for the present stands, the decision of the court-martial is in the hands of the Commander•in-Chief; from the evidence and the defence it appears that nothing has been adduced sufficiently strong to bear out the charges in the very strong form in which they are worded, or that the prisoner will be convicted of the "infamous" conduct imputed to him.
