I was sorry to find by the account furnished you of the Gorhambury meeting by your excellent reporter, that it was not unlikely it would be discontinued on the ground that as the gambling booths are abolished, the expenditure exceeds the income. Surely so good a sportsman, and so popular a nobleman as Lord Yerulam, will pause before he puts an end to-a meeting which has annually been the means of afford ing infinite amusement to the inhabitants of the county, as well as materially benefiting the ancient town of St. Alban's, of which he may be said to be the patron. Owing to the unfavourable state of the weather and the Queen's ball, the attendance at Gorhambury was not so large as of late years. Still there was a fair sprinkling of fashion ables present, and the speculation on• the Derby and other races pretty brisk. The Queen of the Tyne winning the Gorhambury Stakes showed a marked improvement in her form from when she ran at Chester. Millipede or Philip, I imagined, would have won, but the former was not sent, I suppose, being kept for Epsom, and the latter was only beaten half a length. Fitzallea ran exactly as I thought be would. Lord Verulam, as a matter of course, won the Prce Stakes with his Liverpool colt, nothing but Velox having started against him; and Mr. Martyn sent him only, I expect, to get back his stake, which, as second, by the condition of the race, he received. The less said about the Brigade Stakes the better. The Double-headed Oak Stakes, as I told your readers on Mon day, went into Mr. Dawson's pocket by means of Crim Con and Tommy Lye beating the much cried-up Maynooth, who looked far more like a hunter than a Derby winner. The Park Stakes were assigned to the Duke of Richmond's Tug Net, which was sent from Goodwood, instead of Cherokee, Iresermi in lavender, no doubt, for better engagements. The St. Alban's Handicap the Squire won entirely py 4ne riding, The, winner, Europa, is a useful 41:411141, 444 will, no doubt, pay her Way. The riga of WP4therbit and Jln lepot, Pd 49011P0 of Pam, are exactly in confirmation of the remarks I made upon them in my last. I also said, from the fact of Mr Greviile's PatOing Alarm against Old England for so large a sum as 5001., he could not be very much' amiss. He was then 18 to I—now his price 7to 1. The other great winter lion—l mean the Cobweb colt—from being quoted at Tattersall's at M tp 1, would not ? I imagine, as I him F p. viously stated, start. The Duke of Beaufort and Marquis of Normanby, to whose decision the qualification of the Iron master was left, yesterday pronounced an upfayenrable judgment against him. Tie is therefpre Out ofttle race. The terms in which the above two noblemen couched their opinions, and the clear and sensible reasons they afforded for them, render it impossible for any one to cavil at or question them, Sweatmeat's success at Shrewsbury is most encou raging to me Laelfers of 1:4 114)0 1 444.8 e I expect to see before the day at far less odds than he stands at now. For the convenience of the country subscribers, I perceive. the room was opened to-day, and is to remain so to-morrow. I understand Mr. Ferguson's Clear-the-way has arrived at Epsom, and that his owner is doing everything he can to make the public iinar,ine what a valuable horse he has got. For instance, he has a bed in the same stable with him, and has engaged an eminent jockey to ride him, promissing him a thousand pounds if he wins. But, in spite of all this parade, the bait d9ic Rot take ? and Clear-the-wa7 still remains at 50 to 1. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY'MORNING, MAY 26, 1845. On Monday I shall treat finally of the Derby, and at the same time analyse the public miming of the Oaks' mares. London, May 23, 1845.. TagGRAPy. EPSOM DOWN S—SUND AY.- ( From the Sunday Times.) Until nearly half-past eight o'clock the aspect of the Downs was as wretched as a cold heavy rain could make it. Scarcely half a dozen persons had ventured forth, and not a horse was to be seen ! In the hazy atmosphere the grand stand looked dismally spectral, and the skeleton booths " grinned- horribly a ghastly smile." As the morning wore on the clouds began to disperse, and a slight improvement in the weather took place. Groups of cognoscenti and Derby sweepists slowly collected near the exercise ground, and at length the appearance of the horses fixed the attention of all, and gave life and interest to the stirring scene. Then might be heard the confidential com ments and remarks of'." layers and backers" on the condition and action of the different nags, as they successively galloped past. The first that came out to gallop was the The Hero, with few of the capabilities of a hero, in our opinion ; nevertheless, it afforded Sam Day, who was upon him, an opportunity of getting his hand in readiness to steer Old England for the great event. Idas, who arrived overnight with Evenus and Boarding School Miss, and took up their quarters at the Baron de Tes sier's, was one of the earliest on the ground. He appeared in blooming condition, and was followed by all the gazers pre sent. Atter walking about for a short time, the " crack" was favoured with a taste of the hill, that " bugbear" in the minds of many, which it is supposed will put an extin guisher on his chance of victory. Evenus led them at his best pace, Idas lying close to him, and pulling hard all the way till they were stopped, after going about three-quarters of a mile. This was repeated a second time and afforded the cog noscenti an opportunity of coming to some definite conclusion upon this much questioned point. Some aver that he mounted the bill like an antelope, and " went like a bird," whilst others as strongly insisted that he would tire, and that he gave every indication of his not liking the ground. He pulled up on both occasions in the soundest and freshest manner possible, and, though his " schoolmaster" certainly made a little noise, there were no indications whatever of a similar nature on the part of the " pupil." Cataract and Malt had a " s pin," but both appeared to be very queer. Among Lumley's team we were particularly struck with the appearance of Vol-au-Vent, who went splendidly, and led us :o imagine that he will take a very great deal of beating for the Surrey Cup. Pantasa, who is much grown, and evidently greatly improved on his two yr old form, took a good gallop, accompanied by a filly by Glaucus, and was much admired. Fuzbos, who is strongly fancied by the Epsom division, took gentle exercise. He was tried over the Derby course on Fri. day afternoon, in the midst of a heavy rain (Frank Butler " up") with Qui Tam, (ridden by the boy) and The Attorney (steered by Sam Mann). Qui Tam made the running to the mile-post "as hard as he could split," when The Attorney, who was in waiting, went on at his best pace to the distance, where, being run almost to a stand-still, he gave up, leaving Fusbos alone in his glory. Such are the plain facts, as they were told us by one who witnessed the trial. They who have invested upon Desperation will, we opine, have a desperately bad chance for their money. He is as slow as a coach-horse. Jinglepot attempted to gallop with Pagan, but a more fruit less attempt we never witnessed. He went stumpy and short, and lost all favour. Cabin Boy, who sweated yesterday, went a steady gallop this morning, but by many his action was considered too laboured and heavy. Wood Pigeon, attended by Dr. Hill, also galloped, showing great improvement in his style of going since we last saw him at Newmarket. Count Bathyany's Sister to Whitefoot, Pergularia, and an other went well. Columbus took a good steady gallop ; he iea very pretty goer, looks remarkably fit, and in his appearance has much of the character of Cotherstone. We ulderstand that he possesses a most excellent temper. .‘ The Vicar " will officiate for him on the eventful occasion. Sir Gilbert's lot did not show out of the paddock up to the time of our departure ; neither had Clear-the-Way nor Pam at that time made their appearance. The former galloped yes terday on the six-mile hill ; we are informed he looks well though rather lusty. Pam, notwithstanding the unfavourable reports which have been current against him, and his retro gression in the betting a few days ago, is as " right as a trivet," and will make many quake before Judge Clarke gives his all important decision. At Leatherhead, Scot's, Rogers's, and Lonsdale's strings are located. Of the first-named lot Kedger and Lmlia are most liked; and the former, who goes remarkably well, may yet re trieve the character which he has partially lost, and enable his backers to " get out" satisfactorily. The Miss Whip colt looks and goes well. The Libel was most anxiously looked for, but, much to the disappointment of those interested for and against him, he had not yet arrived. John Day's, Forth's lot, and the Duke of Richmond's horses are expected to reach their quarters to-day or to-morrow. The Danebury division will be located at Banstead, the Goodwood at Headley, and Forth's let at Ashstead. With respect to the latter, it was remoured that Doleful's legs are somewhat queer, and that the " pick of the basket" will be found to be The Merry Monarch. We did not hear a single bet laid upon the ground ; and the only offer which came under our own observation was to back Pantasa. ALA RIC —When about half way between Epsom and London we met Alarm, who was being vanned with all possible dis patch to the scene of action. 111 R. GULLY'S OLD ENGLAND. The following circumstance, which has caused no little ex citement in the ring, has been communicated to us :—Mr. Gully yesterday entrusted a gentleman with a commission to back his horse, Old England, for a very large sum, which was accomplished, but on the bets being conned over by that gentleman, he perceived that the greater portion of the amount was laid out with one person. This, with other circumstances which had come to the knowledge of Mr. Gully, roused his suspicions, and led to angry words, Mr. G. (as it was stated), taxing the party with having over laid his book to an enormous amount in betting against his horses. The gentleman, however, expressed his willingness to stake the amount whenever called upon. Immediately after the occurrence Mr. Gully, it is said, left town for Danebury, and we fear the result will have the effect of lessening the field for the Derby in a way the least expected, and we may add, the most to be regretted. ACCIDENT TO THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON. The Duke of Wellington attended at the Marlborough street Police•court on Saturday, for the purpose of preferring a charge of furious driving, whereby his life was endangered, against Henry Woods, driver of one of the Fulham carriers' carts. To prevent inconvenience to his Grace from the crowd which his appearance would attract to this court, the summons was so arranged as to take precedenee of the night charges. At half-past eleven. o'clock his Grace, accompaned by Lord Charles Fitzroy Somerset and Mr. Mayne, entered the court. His Grace having been sworn, said—l was walking, on Tuesday last, between two and three o'clock, in Park-lane, on the left-hand side, going out of Piccadilly, and when near the Duchess of Gloucester's house, a very heavy four wheeled cart passed me. I endeavoured to cross the lane, to get to the pavement on the other side, under the pro tection of this heavy cart. I got as far as the right-hand wheel of the cart, keeping the cart at my left hand, when I found my self struck on the shoulder, and knocked forward. It was a severe blow, and I found it had been given by another cart, the driver of which tad not attempt to give me warning by calling out, until he had struck me. I did not fall ; if I had, I must have been under the wheels of both carts. Now, I have no further complaint to make against the man at the bar, who drove the cart, than that he was going at such a monstrous pace that he had no controul over his horse ; indeed, he came along so fast, that he got the whole length of Park lane without my having perceived him, and the pace he was going at was such, that it was impossible he could stop his horse. This is my complaint, and I bring it forward on pub lic grounds, because I think it is not right that carriages should ips along in the public streets at this great rate. The cart by which I was struck was a heavy, tilted cart; the driver was under the tilt. My groom was behind with my horses, and I called him and desired him to follow the cart. My groom trotted as hard as he could, but he was unable to overtake the cart l‘ntil it had got as far as South-street. This will prove the rapid pace at which the driver of the cart was going. The defendant said he was truly sorry at what had occurred, but he declared the whole circumstance was accidental. He saw a gentleman about to cross the road, and he called out do warn him, but he was, not aware that he had touched any one. He was not going at very great speed, for his horse was an old one, and could not accomplish more than seven miles an hour, and at the time when he passed his Grace, he was going up hill. His attention was directed to the vehicles in the car riage road; and this prevented him noticing what was doing on the foot-path. Mr. HARDWICK—Had you kept your eyes directed as you ought, not only to avoid carriages but foot passengers, the circumstance would not have occurred. The reason you have given for not seeing his Grace is no excuse for your conduet. The Duke of Wellington—There was plenty of room t• have passed, without running against me. Mr. Hall, No. 12, Park-lane, said he saws his Graeo at tempting to cross the lane at the time that a earrAer's cart, which was going at the rate of seven or eight miles an hour, was coming down the lane. Thinking, from the way the man was driving, that his Grace 'would be knocked down, he ran to the door, and saw the cart strike his Grace on the shoulder. Had his Grace not turned round sharply, the cart must have been over his feet. The pace which the man was driving at was not more than seven miles an hour. He was driving negligently rather than furiously, Mr. HARDWICK—Had be kept a proper look out, he must have seen his Grace ? Witness—Xertatuly. He was going up hill, and could have stopped the horse easier than if going down hill. Mr. HARDWICK—Did you hear the tun call out? Witness —No, I did not. In defence, the man repeated he wad exceedingly sorry for what had happened. Mr. HARDWICK---It appears from the evidence that yon were driving, if not at a furious, still at a rapid rate; but as you were going up hill at the time, had you used the ordinary precautions in driving along the public streets, and if you had proper command at the time over your horse, this accident could not have occurred, A witness has d escr ib e d your care less mode of drifi"ll at the time, b y say i ng you were neither loo4iog tct the right nor the left, and the whole evidence goes to prove that your mode of driving was reckless and careless, exhibiting a perfect indifference to the life and limbs of foot passenger. This case I shall deal with as a case of assault. you have committed several serious offenoes—first, furious driving ; next, endangering life and limb ; and lastly, com mitting an assault, for runriiiig against the person and striking that person vith %ha ;ars is as much an assault as if the blow giveu by hand. For the assault, which is karly proved, you will pay a fine of 41., or one month's imorisonment. Defendant-1 am a very poor roam, and I hope his Grace will show a little coroppr,oe. The dyci i dani was then locked up. THE LA'3,l4 PA.TAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—The Sp44}oo adds the fbllowing particulars to the account which ap peared in our Saturday's impressionl:—" The special train left Glasgow a little before six o'clock. On the way something went wrong with the engine or machinery, and caused delay. The col. lision took place about a mile and a half from Edinburgh. None of the carriages were thrown off' the rails. The regular train had lights, and the reason why the other was unprovided with them was, that it Was expected to have reached its destination before they would be necessary. The unfortunate gentleman (whose name is Cooley, not Cowley) was seated in the third or last com partment of the carriage, that is, farthest from the engine of the special train. He was a spirit-dealer and Cattle-merchant in Glas gow, about forty years of age, and has left a wife and two children to lament his untime'y fate." DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—The non-appearance of Madame Thillon on Friday was attributable to the opinion of her medical adviser, Mr. learsley, that a further repose of a day or two was absolutely necessary for the perfect restoration of her health. We have seen Madame Thillon's letter to the lessee, in which, subject to this indulgence, she has stated her ability to ap. pear this evening, and also hir. Yearsley's letter urging the necessity of that repose, DINNER T 1 MR. lIVILAH. A dinner was given on Wednesday to this gentleman, well known here and in the north of Scotlane, at the British Hotel, Cockspur ' street, 'on his leaving London fol• America. The chair was occu pied by Mr. Stewart, of Albeirarle street, and among the company were—Mr. Thom, the poet of Inverury ; Mr. Allison, of Alfred place; Mr. Menzies, Mr. Mouatt, Mr. Christie, Mr. Thomson, of Bond street, and Mr. Adam, of the Aberdeen Herald. About forty gentlemen, friends of Mr. linlah, sat down to dinner. After the usual loyal toasts, Mr. STEWART, in proposing the health of their guest, said he had enjoyed the acquaintance of Mr. Imlah for more than twenty years, and he had uniformly found him upright In his conduct, warm-hearted, and a sincere lover of his native country, Scotland. He wished him prosperity and a hearty welcome en the other side of the Atlantic. He was sure, if he ever did return to this country, he would be met with the same kind feeling and welcome that he now departed with. He could say many things that would re dound to Mr. Imlah's credit, but as the majority of the company knew him, if not as long, perhaps as well as he did, therefi>re, he would conclude by proposing " his health, long life, and happiness to him wherever he went." Mr. 'smart begged the company to indulge him for the imperfect manner that he should thank them for their kind reception of his name, proposed by his very worthy and esteemed friend Mr. Stewart; their kindness and their friendship, in meeting him, with such a demonstration, in a great measure made up for the re gret he would feel at parting with friends for whom, one and all, he entertained the highest esteem. lie was at a loss what to attribute this mark of respect to—it could not arise from his station in society, or from any influence he possessed; he was sure he had no• " property qualification," but he thought it must be that lie was blessed with a heart that WAS sensitively alive to the ties of friendship, good fellowship, and a love for all man kind. He concluded by again thanking the company for their kindness and good opinion of his conduct while known to them, and hoped that he would yet have the pleasure of meeting many of them, and that that evening's proceedings would never be ef. faced from his memory. Mr. ADAMS proposed the health of Mr. Thom, the poet, who re turned thanks in a speech full of point and good humour, remark. ing that this was the age of " little poets ;" there was no " great ones." Mr. ALLISON proposed the health of the Chairman, and referred to that gentleman's benevolence, and to his services in the cause of charity, but more especially to that excellent one, the Scottish Hospital, where his name will be found for many years back a sub scriber to that noble institution. Mr. STEWART thanked his friend for the kind and flattering manner in which he announced his name to the company; he regretted jthat they had not a person more able to preside over them that evening than him self, but his anxiety to promote anything to mark his sense of Mr. Imlah's excellent qualities, made him not hesitate in accepting the honour of being their Chairman. After a few other toasts of healtha, the company left about twelve o'clock, much pleased with the hilarity that prevailed the whole company. Several songs were sung in an excellent manner THE GAME-LAWS. On Thursday last, an old man named James 13ean, between 60 and 70 years of age, a shoemaker, of East Hampstead, was charged before Mr. P. H. Crutchley and Captain Bulkeley (county magistr . ates for Berks), on the information of George White, one of Prince Albert's gamekeepers for the Swinley district, with having unlawfully offered for sale four pheasants and six pheasants' eggs, on the 13th instant. The examination took place at the private office of Mr. Seeker, the town-clerk of Windsor, and clerk to the county magistrates. Mr. C. S. Voules, solicitor, appeared for the Crown, and Mr. J. J. Williams, barrister.at.law, for the defendant. The case excited considerable interest, in consequence of the method which had been adopted to entrap the defendant. Charles Milley, gamekeeper to Sir John Walsh, of Warfield, examined by Mr. Voules—On the night of Monday, the 12th instant, defendant came to my house at Winkfield, in consequence of a letter I had written to him that morning. I let a person named John Shakespere privately in at the back door to hear what was said between me and Dean. Dean told me he had only half a dozen pheasants' eggs by him just then. Dean als , ) said he had three hens and a cock pheasant by him at home. The deal between me and the defendant was then conclude°. He brought to me the next morning, about five o'clock, three hens and one cock pheasant alive, and six pheasants' eggs, saying they had all been caught in wires since the previous Tuesday. When I asked him if he was authorised to sell game, he said" No, but there will be no harm between you and me." When he said he had no license to sell game, I told him I could not buy of him. He then said he would take them back again. I a eplied, " You cannot do that, for I must take them be fore a magistrate." Shakespere, who had been secreted, then appeared. Cross-examined by Mr. Williams—l am gamekeeper to Sir John Walsh ; but I have no deputation nor any license to deal in game, nor any license to kill game. I look after Sir John's game. I decline to say if I ever killed any game. I have had possession of the birds and eggs ever since they were brought to me by Dean. John Shakespere corroborated the testimony of the last witness. Cross.examined by Mr. Williams—Pray, in whose employ are you ? Who is your master ? Upon the witness hesitating to give an answer, Captain Bulkeley said, " Oh, the Woods and Forests pay him, or else the Crown." Mr. Williams—l had much rather have an answer from the witness, Captain Bulkeley, unless you yourself choose to be sworn. Witness, after being again pressed by Mr. Williams for an answer, at length replied, lam game-keeper to Prince Albert. I know a person named George White, who laid this information. He is now in the room, in green and gold. He is one of the head game-keepers to his Royal Highness. The case having been closed on the part of the Crown, Mr. Williams took several technical objections to the summonses, which were overruled. He then addressed the Bench on the part of the defendant, who, he said, need not have appeared that day at all, as the summonses were both decidedly bad. He however had consented to appear, in order to save further trouble and loss of time to the Bench. Captain BuLitEL Ev—He was already here when the case was opened, and if he had attempted to ,pave gone away I would car. tainly have given him into custody. Mr. Williams—lle was here as a spectator, and was not bound to plead. He could have walked out of the room, without appear. ing to the summons, most certainly, if he had so pleased. Captain BULKELEY—I should not have parted with him. I should certainly have ordered him into custody if he had attempted that. Mr. Williams said he would remind the Learned Captain that it was rather a dangerous thing to take people into custody without a warrant, or without reasonable suspicion of felony. For aught that had been proved, or that the Bench knew, those very eggs might have been received by the defendant from some licensed dealer in game. The COURT having held that the information was sufficiently proved, • - Mr. Williams then addressed the Bench in mitigation, and ex_ presses his surprise at seeing Prince Albert's green and gold game.. keepers mixing themselves up with a prosecution, apparently originating from Sir John W a l s h . If the letter h a d not b een written by Milley to entrap hi m, he would not have b een p l aced in his present unfortunate dilemma. He would denounce the whole as a conspiracy, for the sake of putting one.half of the penalty into Mr. White's pocket, who was in the room, and whom they dared not call as a witness for the Crown. He would then read the letter which had been sent to the defendant to entrap him, as he intended to keep nothing in the back ground. It was written by the witness Milley, who signed himself as "gamekeeper." The letter was as follows: " Mr. Dean,—l Bleave you sent to me last week about some pheasants eggs, And I did not know Wether they was good or not, And so I did not give the man any particular answer about them ; hut if you are got some to part with, and they are good, I will try and deal with you on reasonable terms. And please to send word back by the boy when you will bring them if you are got any to part with now; the man was saying you had got two pheasants to part with As well As eggs , And if th ey are likely birds for laying, I should have know objection to try and make a deal w i t h y ou f o r them, but send me word wh en you will come, so that I can be in the way, for you might come 50 times And not find me At home. I am Liveing in A New house just above the Royal Forester. (Signed) "DARES MILLEY, Gamekeeper." The game.laws were already sufficiently severe in their operation, but if gamekeepers, however illustrious their employers might be, were to make a trade in informations for the sake of half the penalties, the ignorant and needy would be constantly led into temptation, and the wrongs of the poo r unendurable. The magistrates retired f or nearly half an h our . On th e ir return— Mr. CRUTCHLEY addressed the defendant, and said, he considered the offence with which he was charged a very bad one; and that the letter which had been written to him was an aggravation of that offence. The Bench had, therefore, determined to inflict the full penalty the law allowed, which was that he be fined 21. for each of the pheasants, and ss. for each of the eggs found in his possession, and ordered him to pay 11 . Is. costs, making together 101. Ils., and, in default, that he be committed to the county gaol for four months, with hard labour, viz., three months in the case of the birds, and one month for the eg gs being found in his session. 5108.

THE CONQUEST OF SINDE, General IV. F. P. Napier. [SECOND NOTICE.] After the battle of Meanee, Sir Charles Napier took possession of Hyderabad. The treasure in that place was said to be enormous. Sir Alexander Burnes had reckoned it at twenty millions sterling:; and Bernier, the French physician, magnified it still more, but said it was difficult to discover, as the Ameers had secret vaults both there and at Omer cote, in which they contrived to hide their treasures in times of disaster. Gold, silver, and jewels, how ever, when every searc h was ma d e , did no t ex ceed in value 400,000/. Sir Charles Napier and his little army were supposed to have gained immense fortunes by the victory, but un fortunately for them they have not yet received any portion of the booty, nor even a promise of any. In fact, all they got was hard fighting, plenty of glory, but still more abuse from the Indian and Eng lish press. and little thanks from the Directors at the India House. The little gallant army, notwith standing the disappointnsent, were not disheartened, and prepared manfully to meet another army still more formidable than that which they had defeated, and Lord Ellenborough nobly supported them in the struggle. On hearing, by report, of the victory at Meeanee, he dispatched several regiments with bat teries and field trains, which raised the army under Napier - to nearly .5,000 men, and enabled him to conquer Sinde, and put an end to the war. Shere Mohamed, or the Lion, as he was called, had collected an army with the hopes of avenging his cousins the Ameers, and recover ing Hydrrabad. With a formidable Lo ly of troops exceeding 25,000 men , h e a d vance d w ithi n ten miles of that town, and openly boasted that he would " Cabul the British." He had a different man, however, than Elphinstone to deal with. Napier was not slack to meet his challenge. He secured the Ameers, still plotting against him, even in captivity, by placing them aboard the steamers, though not, as had been reported, in irons, and prepared for the contest. It is needless to describe the battle. The British were completely victorious, and all the move ments, with one exception, were successful, though there was scarcely a man on the staff above twenty three years of age. The Lion, however, escaped, but his troops were dispersed, and the entire country was subdued. General Wm. Napier thus describes the results : By Major. " This memorable battle, fought thirty-five days after Afeeanee, and within a few miles of that field, bears three names, Dubba, Naraja, and Hyderabad. The first from the village, the second from the plain, the third from the city near which it was fought. The last is the one by which it must be known, being that which is in scribed on the colours and m e d a l s of the gallant soldiers by whom it was won. - "Prompt as the English General bad been to fight this action, after receiving his reinforcements, he was now still more prompt to render it a decisive one. His first care was to gather the wounded men, and make arrangements for transporting them to Hyderabad ; this and the re-organization of his army for forced movements in advance, together with the writing of his dispatches, took about eight hours. Then, having ascertained that the retreat of the Belooch army was principally towards Meerpoor, he put his troops in march again, resolute to win all that fortune would offer to his energy and bravery. "The dreadful heat was augmenting each day • the desert was before him ; the Indus was on the rise behind him ; the Lion had still a force of nearly four to one, if he could collect his dispersed troops ; and he had two fortified towns, Meerpoor and Omercote, to receive and cover his beaten army, and enable him to prolong the campaign. The mercury stood at 110 degrees on the day of the battle; the troops had marched twelve miles to find the enemy ; they had fought for three or four hours afterwards ; they had only rested eight hours, 3f that could be called rest, when they had to cook, and gather their wounded, and receive fresh ammunition in the time. But all these things were disregarded by the General, when he saw the enthusiasm of his officers and soldiers, who met him with cheers wherever he moved. They were disregarded also because he well knew the importance of the occasion, and called to mind Csar's golden rule of war, That nothing is done while any thing remains to be done.' Nor was his confidence in his men betrayed by weakness of body or mind ; not withstanding their previous fatigues and the withering heat, they made more than twenty miles in advance before they halted. During this march they passed through two strongly entrenched positions which the Lion had prepared to fall back upon ; but he could not gather men enough in time to occupy them. This was the first reward of the British energy the next day the Poonah horse were at the gates of Meerpoor, forty miles from the field of battle. " Thus pressed, the Lion abandoned his capital, and carrying with him his treasure and his family, fled through the desert to Omercote. The gates of Meer poor were immediately opened by the people who being all liindoos and Scindians, welcomed the vanquishers of the Beloochees as deliverers. It was strongly fortified and full of stores." Thus ended the reign of the Ameers, whose fate has excited no little sympathy, real or pretended ; but no wicked rulers ever so well merited condign punishment, as the following facts will prove : " The Ameers governed by the sword and by no other law. The Beloochees were their troops ; the Scindians and Hindoos their subjects, their victims ; up to the battle of Meeanee, any Belooch might kill a Scindian or Hindoo with impunity, for pleasure or profit; this licence was widely exercised, especially where women were concerned. " The Ameers dealed largely in the slave-trado, and so did all their feudal chiefs, both as importers and ex porters. " They had, to form shikargahs, or hunting :founds, laid w aste, in less than sixty years, more Than a fourth of the most fertile land of Scinde, a country nearly five hundred miles in length, and from one to three hundred miles in breadth. And to form one of these hunting wildernesses for a child of eight years old, they would depopulate whole villages with less hesitation and feeling, than an English farmer smokes a hive of bees. They extracted money from Hindoo and other mer chants by torture and mutilations. They forced labour ing men and mechanics to work for them by the same means, at about two pence daily wages, when their ser vices were worth ten times as much, and more often than not they cheated them even of that pittance ; this oppression they carried to such an extent, that when Sir Charles Napier took possession of Scinde, scarcely could a mason or carpenter or other handicraft man be found—all had fled with their skill to distant countries. The Ameers also restricted commerce, and oppressed merchants and traders, because they disliked the pre sence of strangers, who might draw comparisons be tween their rule and that of other princes. They dreaded lest their subjects should be told the. inflic tions they endured were unknown save in a cinde, the most fertile and the most miserable colinsTey of all Asia. Finally, they stopped one of the great water-cour ses derived from the Indus, purpose';),_ to destroy the fertility of the neighbouring kingdTin of Cutch, which h a d b een irrigated from it.. " The °mos.: ive nature of their government_iy, sibly uneg pos red ia the world,' said Sir UPt r p y ot finger • It is an iron despotism," wrot% Sir Alexander Burnes. " They have all the vices of barbarians without their redeeming virtues,' was the observation of Mount Stuart Eiphinstone, whose dictum carries with it the authority of great sagacity, combined with extensive and accurate knowledge. " Major Outram called it a Patriarchal Govern ment.' " But God did not form the teeming land of Scinde with all the germs of fecundity, nor spread the waters of the Indus to bring them forth with plenteousness, merely to support the brutal Ameers in luxury: they thought so, but his arresting and avenging hand was laid upon them at Meeanee. " Their actions as men were even more hideously wicked than their actions as sovereigns. " They filled their Zenanas with young girls torn from their relations, who were never allowed to see them more ; and they permitted all their Sirdars and other chiefs to do the same. How were those girls treated ? It would suffice as an answer, to say, that when the Ameers fell, not one woman, old or young, mother, wife, or concubine, would follow them to Bombay, so much were they detested. And reason good there was for that hatred. They and all their Sirdars and followers, alike, perpetrated such horrid iniquities that the women would have been demons had they not shrunk from the con tamination of the Ameers' company. "If a suspicion of infidelity crossed the mind of a Be looch, he sought for no proof, but made the father or mother hold the daughter by the hair while he cut her throat, or hacked her to pieces with a swerd. The slightest quarrel, or disobedience, or reluctance shown, was enongh provocation for cutting off the miserable girl's nose or ears with a knife. " The Ameers and Sirdars killed all their illegitimate children; that was the rule ; and not unfrequently they extended this rule to the female legitimate children. " And how did these monsters destroy their own off spring ? First they gave potions called odalisques,' to procure abortion ; if th ose failed, they sometimes chopped the children to pieces with their own hands im mediately after birth ; but more frequently placed them under cushions and sat down, smoking and drinking and jesting with each other about their hellish work, while the children were being suffocated beneath them ! Nor was this even the limit of their abominations. With in human cruelty they chastised what they deemed the poor women's offences, such, perhaps, as weeping over their slaughtered children. Nusseer Khan of Hyderabad, reputed the most noble and generous minded of the Ameers, the most humane of the pernicious brood, had in his Zenana a whip expressly to correct the women ; the lash is composed of two lengths of twisted brass wires It is no fable ! The usage is certain ; the ......... . whip itself is in the General's possession, and not the least prized of his trophies ; it tells him how excellent a deed it was to put his foot upon the ruffian's bended neck." SCENES AND ADVEATORES IN SPAIN fiom 1835 to 1840. By Poco Mas. 2 Vols. The writer of this work describes many of the singular events which took place during the civil war carried on by the Carlists, and though facts of importance are not exhibited always with the striking effect that might be expected from an eye-witness, they bear the stamp of truth. The author performed a part in the dismal tragedy which so long afflicted Spain; he was acquainted with the leading men of the Constitutional party, but he neither overrates their deeds nor fails to do justice, when merited, to the chiefs of the other side. We only regret that the descriptions of the stirring scenes which occurred are so few, and that he should have filled up so much of the book with minute details of adventures at inns, conversations with the worthy hosts or their daughters, and descriptions of yentas, and cathedrals, and convents, which are already so well known to the reading public. The account of the downfal of the Liberal Ministry at Barcelona, the deceitful con duct of Queen Christina, and the plots of the new race of Absolutists which now govern Spain, is so well written, and contains so many interesting facts, that we only regret the writer did not devote more of his work to similar features in the brief history which he relates. The following conclusion of the Barcelona affair will show what confidence could be placed on the honour of Queen Christina. After having formed an absolute cabinet, after being com pelled by the public voice to break it up, she at last appealed to Espartero, and he obeyed, though un willingly, her commands. We give the result : " lie speedily formed a ministry at Madrid composed of men well-known for their attachment both to the Sovereign and the Constitution; hastened, in their com pany, to Valencia, presented his colleagues to the Queen-Regent, who expressed her approbation of his choice, and acceded to their programme—which was the same as that originally proposed by the Duke to her Majesty at Barcelona—signed the decrees, appointing them her Ministers, received their oaths in due form, and when his colleagues had retired, her Majesty an nounced to the Duke de la Victoria her intention to embark immediately for France! " The Duke's astonishment at this startling declara tion may be easily imagined. He implored her Majesty, in energetic but respectful language, to change her re solution. and it is even said that, on his knees, the tears flowing from his eyes, this faithful veteran besought her Majesty not to abandon her adopted country, her infant daughters, her faithful subjects ; and pointed out the evils and the perils which must arise from adopting so fatal a course. " All was in vain. Queen Cristina embarked, shortly afterwards, in a steam-vessel fur Port Vendres, in France, leaving her two royal daughters under the charge of the Duke de la Victoria, notwithstanding his earnest and dutiful entreaties that she would remain, and not deprive them of her maternal care at their tender age. -" When Queen Cristina and her agents arrived in France, they lost not a moment in denouncing the Duke de la Victoria, in whom her Majesty had, but a few hours previously, d ec l are d th a t s h e p l ace d suc h implicit confidence as to leave her infant children in his charge —as a traitor, and an unpolished military adventurer!" The subjoined description of a military execution will be read with melancholy interest : " The place appointed for the execution is called the Campo del Sepulcro, an ample space at a short distan ce outside the city. The battalion t o which the deserter had belonged, and some cavalry, infantry, and artillery of the National Guard, were drawn up in the Campo, at one angle of which there is a tiled shed, its blank wall facing the troops. At a short distance in advance of this wall was a wooden post, from which at about a foot and a half from the ground a narrow seat jutted; three musket-balls which had evidently traversed the body of some unfortunate malefactor were imbedded in the post. " The concourse of persons was not very great ; a considerable portion consisted of women and boys. The Campo del Sepulcro is paved all over, and is used as a threshing-floor for the corn gathered from the neigh. bouring fields. There were several heaps of bean-straw ready placed for being trodden out; some of them were close to the spot where the man was to be shot, and great numbers of boys were amusing themselves by, at one moment, examining the fatal seat, and the next, tumbling over head and heels on the bean-straw, cover ing each other with it, and laughing and leaping with - a.s much buoyancy of spirit and action as though the-, were beguiling the time until the arriv a l of Punc . 10, or any other puppet dressed out f o r their die: ersien. " Soon the sound of the funeral dram was heard, and the melancholy procession a r- oroached. It passed behind the ranks of the tre,op; drawn up, and entered the Campo del Sepulcro at an open space between the cavalry and infantry . " Immediately 'afterwards came an eeclesiastic carry ing a large cn ic ifi x; the wounds and flagellated back of the Savie,ur were prominently marked. Close to the bearer of the Cross was the prisoner, attended on each side of him by a military chaplain bareheaded. The prisoner, a man of about thirty, wore a green military jacket, coarse white linen trousers, and alpargatas, or sandals ; on his head was a foraging cap. His hands were tied before him, and fixed between them was a small crucifix ; the procession was closed by a few soldiers. The countenance of the culprit was forbidding: the colour of his face was a dark yellow ; he was perfectly collected, and kept pace with the beating of the funeral drum. The chaplains were constantly ad dressing to him short sentences in under tones, and, ap parently by the movements of his lips, he was making responses. Ever and anon the large crucifix which was carried in front of him was lowered by the ecclesiastic who bore it, so that the penitent might kiss the hands, side, and feet, which he did with apparent reverence. When the procession arrived in front of the regiment to which he had belonged, he was instructed to kneel down whilst the Town-Major of Zaragoza read the sentence in a loud voice. " A new white cotton handkerchief, doubled trian gularly, was now tied over his eyes and face, and the chaplain who had retired about two yards pronounced the creed in s h or t sen t ences, w hi ch were firmly repeated by the penitent sinner, now on the brink of eternity. The effect was most solemn, singular, and affecting; the voice of the robust young man who was so soon to be a corpse, coming from under the white handkerchief ; the black brethren with their lighted tapers standing to the right and left; the chaplains performing their last duties; the solemn silence which reigned around ; and, just as the cried was being finished, the quiet approach of eight soldiers belonging to the culprit's own regiment under the command of an officer; all this, I say, was imposing and affecting. The soldiers were drawri up in two ranks —four in each. The credo being finished, and every one having retired from the soldier's side--his breast having been previously bared—the chaplain, who stood by the officer, absolved the prisoner in a clear and elevated voice. Whilst this short ceremony was being performed, the four soldiers in the front rank were ordered by the officer to 'make ready and present.' As the chaplain uttered the last word, the officer said 'fire!' and in a second the soldier's breast was pierced with four musket balls. He fell dead without a groan." POLICE INTELLIGENCE.. (SATURDAY.) CLERKENWELL. ATTEMPTED MURDER.—Joseph - P -endal, a savage looking fellow, was charged with stabbing with int en t to murder Joseph Dowling, P . watc h man in R ed Lion square. Who lives in Fox-co ur t, G ray ' s I nn- The prosecutor, lane, was conveced from the hospital to the court on that morning. His chest was bandaged. He deposed that about It iree mont h s ago h e was conveying a drunken man, to 4 :ne station-house, when the pri soner came an d t 00"... the purse out of the drunken man's pocket. Wit ness gave information of the affair to the police, and the prisoner was thereupon apprehended. Since then the prisoner repeatedly declared he would be revenged upon him, and that he would knock the breath out of his body. On Monday morning last, between five and six o'clock, witness went into the Red Lion publichouse, at the corner of Red Lion-street, Holborn. The prisoner, who was there, immediately attacked him, threw him against the door, and threatened to strangle him. He attempted doing so by twisting his neckcloth, until wit ness became quite black in the face, but some persons who were at the bar dragged him away. The prisoner seized him again, and a scuffle ensued, in which the pri soner took out a large pocket-knife. Witness, in ward ing off a blow, received a cut on his thumb, which bled at the time, but he did not feel any other wound at the moment. On arriving at his home he found that his clothes had been quite cut through, and that his under garments were saturated with blood, which flowed from a stab in the middle of the chest. A surgeon was sent for, the wound was dressed, and he was removed to the hospital. The barman at the public-house confirmed to a great extent the prosecutor's testimony, and swore that he had heard the prisoner utter threats of a deadly nature against the prosecutor. The parties were sober at the time of the occurrence. Police-constable 179 G produced the garments worn by the prosecutor at the time he was stabbed. They were quite stained with blood. There was a large hole through them, just over the wound. Arrested the pri soner at his own residence, about an hour after the occurrence. He did not deny the charge. The surgeon of the hospital gave evidence as to the nature of the wound. Had it been the eighth of an inch deeper it would have proved fatal. The knife found on the prisoner would have produced such a wound. Nesbitt, the court-keeper, recognised the prisoner as a returned transport and a man of very bad character. The prisoner was fully committed for trial to Newgate.

E. Manning, M.A., Archdeacon of Chiches ter. It appears that in the course of the last year 9,518 indigent sick persons were admitted on the books for re lief, at a cost of 2,4311. 15s. 24d. ; of these, 1,056 were in-patients, and 8,462 were out-patients (many of whom were visited at their own homes, and the greater part were restored to the blessings of health and to their occupations for the support of their families). These, with the cases reported in former annual statements, make a total of 102,776 sick and needy individuals who have partaken of the benefits of the Institution, from its commencement, in 1818, to the 31st December, 1844. After a very energetic appeal on behalf of the peculiar claims which this useful charity has upon the feelings of the wealthy and benevolent, the sum collected amounted to 40/.105., and an additional annual subscription of five guineas from a benevolent supporter of the Hospital. A. Vienna journal of the 15th inst. says :—" The exhibition of the progress of the useful arts in Austria was opened this day. Our Society of Industry has invited the exhibitors to a grand supper in the Hall of the Redoubt. The Court has already visited the exhibition. The report of the operations of our Savings Bank during 1844 is extremely satisfactory, particularly as it shows an increasing system of economy among the lower orders of society." MUSIC. 7HE VOICE OF FRIENDSHIP. Sung by Mr. W Harrison. Words by Eugenia Parham :I?o?fe ; Music by H. St. Leger. YOU LOVE BUT ME. Ballad, sung by Madame Anna Tliillon. Words by Eugenia Parham Rolfe Music by H. J. St. Leger. The art of writing words for music is an art more difficult than those who have never made the attempt can imagine. It is not sufficient to be a poet—the writer of a good song must be a musician also—must_ , have an ear for th e " dulcet concord of sweet sounds ' —must eschew all harsh, guttural, hissing intonations. These songs are written, not only poetically, but melodiously, and we hope that Eugenia Parham Rolfe will write many more ballads. The sentiment of the words has been well translated into the uni versal language, music, by Mr. St. Leger, and the accompaniments prove that he is not a mere dilettanti composer of melody, but an accomplished, we may add, a learned musician.

DuNmow.—SINGULAR CHARACTER.— On Friday last a strangely-behaved charact er was ta k en b efore the Revds. J. 1 3.11. Chesshyre and C. Clarke, calling himself William Louis Bourbon Patmore, the Royal Battue Sportsman. Superintendent Redin deposed that the prisoner was brought to him the day before, charged with shooting at the deer in Hatfield Forest with a blunderbuss. On being asked who and what he was, he said he was the son and heir of the Duke of Cambridge, Prince of Diamonds, Duke of Vergenus, and brother of the Princess Royal. Mr. Redin, being of opinion that his intellect was disordered, sent for Mr. Grice, surgeon, who decided (after examinatien and conversation) that he was certainly insane: he could not be brought to speak on any subject without alluding to his relationship with royalty. On searching him, some extraordinary and curious documents were found ; among others a book, made up of scraps of paper, pic tures from Punch, pieces of newspaper, decorated with genuine unnbliterated postage stamps, which the lunatic called his Royal Sportsman's Battue Licence ; he was perfectly harmless and good humoured. By order from the magistrates, the Superintendent conveyed him to Sir John Lunatic Asylum, at Hexton.—lpswich Zxpless. A. correspondent complains of the paucity of labourers on the South Devon line; he observes there is work for hundreds of men, and suggests that it would be better employment for our agricultural labourers, especially our North Devon end Dartmoor and Exmoor peasants, to leave the plough, and try their hands as navvys. He gives an inaance of a Dartmoor man, whose earnings were only 4s, per week, but now, by working on the line, he earned, in the last fortnight, 11. 17s. From the number of railroads in hand, and projected, the employment is likely to last for years.— Western Times. EDINBURGH CHAIR OF ASTRONOMT.—We under stand that the Government have appointed Mr. Smith, astrono mical observer, Cape of Good Hope, to the chair of astronomy in our university, vacant by the death of Professor Henderson.— Edinburgit Witness. DETERMINED SUICIDE THROUGH A WIFE'S MlS coN.DucT.—On Friday an inquest was held before Mr. Payne, at lie Bell Tavern, Church-row, Aldgate, on the body of Samuel Baton, aged forty-three years, who committed suicide. Thomas Blendall .Warwick, of No. 11, Church-row, stated that the de. ceased lodged in his house. He was an ostler in the service of Mr. Nelson, of the Bull Inn, Aldgate. On Thursday afternoon, be. tween five and six o'clock, the deceased was missed from his work. Witness became alarmed, and, on going up stairs to his bedroom, witness discovered the deceased suspended by a rope to the top of the bedpost. Witness called for assistance, and the deceased was cut down, He appeared cold and quite dead. Witness met the deceased in the morning. He seemed rather excited. He had a rope in his hand, and said "he should not be alive by night." Witness remonstrated with him, but he did not make any answer. The deceased had had much trouble with his wife, and had been parted from her for several years, in consequence of her bad con. duct. He paid gs. a week to the parish for the support of his wife. The jury returned a verdict of " Temporary insanity." MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—It will be recollected that a few days since, a gentleman of the name of John Quincey Harris, who was formerly the representative of Newcastle-under-Lyne in the Mouse of Commons, was committed for trial at these sessions for an assault upon his brother-in-law, Mr. Thomas Roberts, a solici tor. Upon his examination at Bow.street, doubts were raised as to the state of his mind. Subsequently to the committal he was visited by some medical gentlemen, by whom he has been pro nounced insane. The necessary certificate of this fact having been duly signed, the unfortunate man has been since removed by his friends to a lunatic asylum.

THE LATE THOMAS HOOD AND TH E P REM IER...-. 1w ho was The following is abridged from a notice by Mr. S. C. Hall, in the Art. Union of Saturday :—" Mr. Hood's existence was a long dis.. ease rather than a life; yet his temper, unemblttered by continual pain, remained ever cheerful and kindly, turning, to the very last, his own sad suffering into jests, and forcing those who wept over his agony, fierce as it was (till he was overtaken by the last dull sleep that continued for three days preceding his death), to smile at the witticisms of his conceits, however strangely mingled with the consciousness of his situation, and his solemn forecast of the rapidly-approaching hereafter. Nor were such terrible contrasts reserved for his death-bed only. Even when the ' Song of the Shirt' was knocking at every heart In Great Britain, its author was panting for breath ; and soon after he was confined to his bed, and literally propped up by pillows to write wit. And so he struggled ' on, through successive paroxysms of illness, till the last few months found him working amidst the very crisis and beatings of heart disease (more than once even in the intervals of delirium !) at the monthly chapters of his last novel—doomed to remain, like his life, a great fragment.
