SENTENCE UPON DR. NENV3WI. ( Continued from our First Edition.) At the conclusion of Sir F. Kelly's address, Dr. Newman rose, and was about to read the contents of a paper which he held in his hand. Lord Campbell interposed, and asked the learned doctor if he had consulted his counsel as to the expe diency of the course he was about to adopt ? The Attorney-General said he was not aware what Dr. Newman intended to say, but he believed he was anxious to give expression to his own feelings on the subject o the present case. Lord Campbell—l think, Dr. Newman, you had bet ter allow the case to remain as it now is. Dr. Newman—Very well. Mr. Justice Coleridge, addressing the defendant, then said it now became his duty to pronounce on him the sentence of the court for the misdemeanour of which he had been convicted—that of having published a defama tory paper reflecting severely on the character of the prosecutor, Dr. Achilli. After alluding to the proceed ings at the trial, and the result of the application subse ,quently made for a new trial, his lordship proceeded to saf that the court had thought it their bounden dutg in estimating the amount of punishment to be inflicted, to consider whether the defendant's guilt was mitigated or aggriivated by his plea, and the evidence which had been adduced to prove and disprove it. Looking at the affidavits presented to-day in mitigation of the offence he spoke the sentiments of every member of the Court, when he said, in the first place, that he was satisfied that Dr. Newman honestly believed in the truth of the allegations which he made against Dr. Achilli, and that he was a man who was incapable of uttering or publish ing that which he believed to be untrue—(a murmur of applause)—and, in the next, that he composed and pub lished the libel, not with any personal malice towards Dr. Achilli, but because he had assailed that religion which he valued above all things else in life. He now came to the next and most important question before the Court—the actual truth or falsehood of the allegations put upon the plea. In addressing himself to them he could not adopt the strong and unqualified language which had been used by some of the defendant's advo cates. There were many circumstances which would induce the Court to pause before they could put the same construction on the evidence that had been attempted by those learned gentlemen. In the first place, there was an improbability in the story, that a man, represented to be so notoriously wicked, should have been entrusted by the Rorpan Catholic Church with the most delicate and responsible employment. Dr. Achilli having left that Church, the Court, of course, felt bound to consider the motives which might have ac tuated the witnesses, who came forward to support that story, and it would be recollected that one of the witnesses said she had been directed to to come for the honour and glory of the Church, and fioly Mother of God. Nothing was more likely to have led uneducated and thoughtless persons who spoke to remote transactions into error and exaggeration. Another circumstance also pressed on the mind of the Court, viz., the extreme difficulty—he might, say entire impossibility—of Dr. Achilli effectually contradicting the stories reported against him in Italy and other parts of the continent, for he was under the sentence of the Holy Inquisition, and found great obstacles in the way of finding persons who would be disposed to give evi dence in detraction of the character, or in contradiction, of the defendant's witnesses. These were most material considerations. The Court were entirely satisfied with the finding of the jury. At every stage of the proceed ings the Court had been cr6wded by sach a numerous mass of people that it seemed as if there was a general belief that the case involved a question between the two Churches of England and Rome. If any one had con sidered the matter for a moment, he must have seen that the Church of England had at least no interest whatever in the inquiry. If the defendant had published a wilful and wicked slander against the Church of England, he was no longer within her folds ; but he (Mr. Justice Coleridge) might appeal to the defendant's invaluable writings while he was a member of the Oxford Univer sity—writings which, great as was their ability, sound as was their doctrine, urgent as was their teachings, towards holiness of life, nothing was more remarkable than their tenderness and gentleness of spirit. Nay, he might go further, and say, with regard to those con troversial writings, which he published while still a mem ber of the College, that though his arguments might have sometimes been severe, because just and unanswer able, they contained nothing like personal bitterness. On the other hand, if Dr. Achilli was all that he was represented to be, he was not born in the Church of England, nor taught in her schools, nor trained by her sliscipline. However bad, therefore, he may have been, that Church stood free from blame. Then, again, it might be said, that he was no longer within the folds of the Church of Rome. In reading over the libel, he (the learned Judge) confessed that, as had been observed by counsel in the course of the arguments, he was touched with infinite shame and disgust. It totally de parted from the usual style of the defendant's produc tions, and left him open to the very strong observations made against. For instance, he spoke of the Reformed Church in such misrespectful terms as these—" in the midst of outrages such as these, wiping her mouth, and clasping her hands, and turning up her eyes, she trudges to the Town Hall." Surely that was not language to apply to the Church he was formerly a member/of. Elt was not without emotion that the Court passed sentence upon the defendant, yet the case had been treated ,throughout in a way to lead to the supposition that they performed this painful duty with feelings of exultation. He hoped in that crowded court there was not one who looked with triumph on the spectacle which was pre sented to him. Of this, at least ; he was sure—that the Court was not influenced by such a spirit in addressing themselves to the consideration of the sen tence. Firmly attached as he was, and as he believed he ever should be, to the Church of England, in which he had hitherto lived, and in which he hoped to die, there was nothing in his mind but regret and pain at seeing the learned individual occupying the unfortunate position he now did. One word more he would acid. The great controversy between the two Churches might continue to go on for years yet, and if the defendant engaged in it for the future, he entreated he would employ his great abilities in a spirit of kindness to individuals, for the sake of his ardent, holy life, and our common Chris tianity. The sentence; of the Court upon him was, that lie pay a fine of one hundred pounds to the Queen, and that he be imprisoned in the first class of misde r6anants in the Queen's Prison, until that fine be paid. There was a general feeling of surprise exhibited by the spectators in the Court when the sentence was an nounced. Throughout the whole day the Court was densely packed with crowds of people, and it was with some difficulty it was cleared at the y conchdou of the prod, OVERLAND MAIL. An extraordinary express, in anticipation of the Overland Mail, has brought correspondence and journals from Bombay to the 3d January, Cal cutta 22d December. The English mail of the Bth November reached Agra, via Bombay, on the 15th, Delhi and Meerut on the 12th Nov., and Lahore on the 13th Dec. The Mail of the 24th November reached Bombay on the 28th December by the steamer Auckland. The intelligence from Burmah by•this mail is of a different nature to any that has been given hitherto. The latest date from the seat of war is the 16th ult. Pegu which, by the mail of the 17th December, was reported as having fallen into the hands of the English, has since then been invested by a force of 8,000 Burmese, and had to be relieved by a force of 1,400 men in boats, under General Godwin, whilst a land Brigade, under Colonel Sturt, co-operated with the general. The Bur mese suffered very severely, but our loss was but trifling. The death of Brigadier M'Neil, of the Madras army, from the effects of a sun-stroke, is the only casualty reported amongst the commis sioned ranks on this occasion. Th enemy made a desperate effort to gain possession of the place, but were each time repulsed with great loss by Major Hill, of the Madras Fusiliers, who was in command of the troops left at Pegu, after it was captured by us. The force under the latter officer behaved most gallantly, but had not General Godwin's force arrived when it did, Pegu must have fallen again into the hands of the enemy, and the British who garrisoned the place would have been butchered to a man. The Indian press is loud in blaming the timid policy of the Court of Directors, which has actually made an enemy where none existed, and has given the Burmese a courage which they did not possess before. This is hardly a true view of the case. The timidity of the commander in Burmah, General Godwin, may be censured with great pro priety, and the manner in which the Court of Di rectors and Board of Control have tied Lord Dal housie's hands in the policy to be pursued is a matter of much regret ; but the Court of Directors cannot with justice be blamed for the variations and do nothing tactics of the general who commands in Bur mah. It is reported in the best-informed Indian circles that the Governor-General would have sent another officer to supersede Godwin long ago, but that his lordship, not being a military man, cannot with propriety interfere without the full consent and concurrence of the Commander-in-Chief. Now, Sir William is at this moment either at Simla or at the foot of the Simla hills, some twelve hun dred miles away from the seat of Government, and every letter from the Governor-General in Calcutta to the Commander-in-Chief in the north west takes six days to reach its destination, hence the delay which has occurred in sending another commander to Burmah. It is, moreover, said that the Governor-General wishes to nominate an officer of the company's service, Sir John Cheape, to the post, but that Sir W. Gomme ob jects to the supercession of one of his own service by an officer of another arm. Whether the press of India are right in the unanimous demand they are making for General Godwin's recal from Bur mah, is a matter which can be judged of by the English public after the following plain statement of facts relative to the attempt at recapturing Pegu on the part of the Burmese. The first cap ture of Pegu took place in May last, but the place was immediately after abandoned by our troops, and re-occupied by the Burmese. The last mail took home news of the recapture of the place, at a not inconsiderable loss of life. When recaptured so very small a force was left in possession, that the enemy almost immediately invested the place. Communication between Rangoon and Pegu seems to have been intercepted very shortly after the latter town was in our occupation, for a boat laden with commissariat stores, under a small escort from the sth Madras Native Infantry, was cap tured on its way to Pegu, and the g uard killed or taken prisoners. By this event 2,000 rounds of large gun ammunition, besides a quantity of valuable stores, fell into the hands of the enemy. The total ignorance of General Godwin's " intelli gence department," regarding the movements of the enemy, can be the only excuse for sending stores of the above nature (up a river through the heart of a country occupied by the enemy) under a guard of twenty Sepoys. The Burmese came down in numbers about 1,500. The Madras Sepoys fought most gallantly, but what could they do with such fearful ods. The Jeruadar of the party was captured and beheaded, and only five men, who were rescued by a party sent out from Pegu by Major Hill, escaped. This appears to have been the first event which put courage into the hearts of the Burmese, for a very few days after they invested Pegu and most completely hemmed in the small force under Major Hill. The latter officer sent no less than four messengers to the General, with re quests for reinforcements. The ammunition of the force uuder Major Hill's command was very nearly expended, and altogether his situation was most critical. All the messengers reached Rangoon in safety, but the general seems to have used some little delay in sending off the reinforcements. Not so the commodore, who immediately dispatched two boats each from the Fox, the Sphinx, and the Alozuffer, under the command of Captain Shad well. These boats were manned with 150 marines, and 200 English soldiers were sent in a small steamer with ammunition and commissariat stores for the garrison at Pegu. Every one considered the sup plies and the force sent to be too small for the emer gency, and the event proved this opinion to be true. The steamer did not reach the scene of action, but the men in the boats fought most bravely; one oyal Marine of the party is said to have killed 11 of the enemy single-handed. So small a force could, how ever, do no great good, wad our troops were obliged to effect a retreat, which 'they did in excellent order. It ought to be kept in remembrance of the corps of Royal Marines that 150 men kept at bay, very nearly forced their way through, and ended by effecting a most masterly retreat, in spite of all that 1,500 of the fiercest soldiers in the east could do. When the repulse of this gallant band was known at Rangoon, the most energetic mea sures were taken to send off a force of 1,600 men in steamers and boats. Generals Godwin and Steel both accompanied the force, and Colonel Sturt marched by land with a force of 400 men. On the arrival of the river force, the Burmese stood their ground for a time, but were eventually compelled to evacuate the place. Their loss was severe, ours but trifling. More details not .known. The Cal cutta Englishman, which reached Bombay (January 3), gives out that the 2d Bengal Fusiliers, now doing duty in Fort William, will ere long be or dered to the scene of action. In the meantime, the river Irrawaddy has fallen very considerably since the last rains, and great doubts are entertained whether the river communication between Ran goon and Pegu will be practicable a few weeks hence. In the last two months the river has fallen no less than 27 feet at Rangoon, and throughout the east the fall of water in the rivers is in a greater ratio the further one goes from the mouth. The war which everybody said was at an end has now apparently only begun.. Where no enemy dared a few months ago to oppose our advance, we have actually made an enemy for ourselves by the weak policy and vacillating measures adopted by our general. The energy and rapidity with which the first blows were struck in this war, made the Bur mese authorities to fear for the result of the cam paign,- but the extraordinary inactivity which we have displayed during the last six months has given them greater courage than they possessed even during the war of 1826. THE PIINJAUB. Last mail had not well left our shores when in telligence of further disturbances on the Punjaub frontier reached Bombay. We give the following account of them from the Delhi Gazette, of the 22d ultimo : " It seems that the Hindostanee fanatics of Sitana have captured a small fort called Kotlee, situated near limb, the capital of Jahandad Khan's Trans-Indus possessions. This is probably only a beginning, as they will most likely commit further depredations, and effect considera ble mischief unless their proceedings receive a timely check, and it is even possible that they may be so elated by their success as to proceed to further outrages, leave their own country, somewhat beyond our border, and prove exceedingly troublesome neighbours. It is in consequence of these disturbances that the two additional 11. A. guns, and the 3d N.I. were ordered to march towards the Puklee Valley, as noted in our last issue. A few days ago, the Hussunzaie tribe made a raid close to the fort of Sheerghur, a spot marked by the me lancholy death of Messrs. Came and Tapp, as it was from that fort the ill-fated officers started the day they were murdered. The Hussunzaie had succeeded in cap turing some cattle and were hurrying off with their plunder, when the Killedar of the fort with a chosen band gave chase, and on coming up with the party en gaged them, but was repulsed. Nothing daunted, how ever, he returned and obtained a reinforcement and started again in pursuit, with such success this time that he recovered nearly alithe cattle and killed some thirty-six of the enemy. One of the murderers of the ill-fated Mr. Carne is said to have fallen in this skirmish, and another is reported to have been taken primer. It is to be hoped that his identity may be proved and the ends of justice answered. The Flnssunzaies stip held possession of the fort called Shoongee belonging to Jehamlad Khan, situated on the left bank of the Indus and within our boundary. It is to this fort that our attention will, in the first instance, be directed - as it is the intention of the authorities to aid Jehandad Khan in ejecting the Hussunzaies from it, and put the rightful owner once more in possession. All this is easier said than' done, as the season is unfavourable for mountain _warfare ' and the tribe have an almost interminable chain of high hills to fall back upon ; they have, moreover, very little but tlfe to lose, awl on that they do not set any very high. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 31, 1853. value. It is supposed by some that the Sitana fanatics are in league with the Hussunzaies, but this is mere con jecture ; that their having attacked the fort of Sheer gurh will necessarily cramp Jehandad Khan's means of acting against the Hussunzaies at Shoonhee there can be no doubt, and our ally cannot do much withcrnt as sistance from us. We believe it has therefore been de cided that assistance shall be afforded to Jehandad Khan as far as the line of the river Indus which forms the boundary, but though it would seem only just to ex tend our support on the other side to the fullest extent practicable, unless the chief is hard pressed, it will not be done. In any case, the news from that quarter will be interestiug for some time to come, and if the two tribes have really joined others may follow their example, and the matter prove of more importance than at first sight appears. A Peshawur letter in the same journal of the 25th says that everything was as quiet and peace as could be imagined, and that there was no talk of any movement of troops from that station in any direction. SCINDE. News from Scinde comes down to the 27th ult. The trial of Major Shawe had concluded ; the re sult is as yet unknown. The commissioner had returned from Hydrabad to Kurrachee to be ex amined as an evidence for the prosecution, had he been required, and was still at the seat of his government. The major is said to make 322 secret of having assisted Ali Moorad with his counsel, and his defence consisted of a justification of his conduct in so doing. It is expected he will be re moved from the service. The weather was cold, and wind northerly; sickness was in a great degree abating amongst the European troops. The 3rd Dragoons were expected at Kurrachee by the sth January. NIZAM'S DOMINIONS. Colonel Lowe is to succeed. General Fraser as resident at the court of the Nizam. Mr. Dighton is again attracting attention at Hyderabad. The prime minister appears to have pledged a number of the Nizam's jewels with Mr. Dighton, for 50,0001., and Mr. Dighton being desirous of leaving the country, requested payment of the sum thus advanced by him on the jewels. This the minister could not do, so Mr. Dighton proclaimed in the city that on such a day he would sell the jewels by public auction; but it was considered very doubtful whether he would get any bidders, and to take them with him he certainly would never be allowed, so long as there were cut-throat Arabs and Ro hillas to be hired to prevent their leaving the city, or waylaying Mr. Dighton on the road. BENGAL AND THE NORTH-WEST PROVINCES. Sir John Little quitted Calcutta on the 11th ult. in the ship Nile, and is succeeded as military mem ber of the supreme council by Sir W. R. Gilbert ; Mr. Doris, proNisional member, acting in council till Sir. Walter took up his appointment on the 15th ult. The Nile had a narrow escape from wreck on the coast near Waltair, not far from Madras ; mis led by some lights on shore, the captain kept in too close, when the vessel struck, but as the weather was calm and immediate measures were taken to land part of the cargo and throw some overboard, she was got off without damage. The ship John Leach was wrecked on the Reef Head on the 12th ult. The captain, his. wife, and the crew of the vessel escaped with their lives, and it was hoped a portion of the cargo would be saved. The ship Allan had returned to Kedgeree Point with her cargo on fire, and been scuttled on the beach. 286,5681. were realised by Government at the last opium sale of the year at Calcutta ; the prices paid for both Patna and Benares being nearly 101. per chest lower than those obtained at the previous month's sale. Major Ouseley, 50th N. 1.. recently in civil employ, has been suspended from the service pending the pleasure of the Court of Di rectors, this having been caused by his having sent what the Governor-General considered a very intemperate letter to the home authorities on the subject of his late court martial. MADRAS. The head-quarter; and right wing 94th Foot left Cannamore for Bangalore on the 9th ult. A portion of the right wing had been ordered to proceed to Fort St. George, the remainder to follow by-and bye. Dr. C. Daubeny and Ensign the Hon. W. Arbuthnot have retired from the service. Lieut. Christie, of the Ist Fusiliers, has been tried at Rangoon for having beer drunk, of which he was acquitted. BOMBAY. Lord Fitzclarence reached Ahmednuggur on the 19th ult., and having inspected and reviewed the troops and the artillery school of instruction, re turnedto the presidency via Poonah onthe 24th. His lordship holds a levee in the town-hall to-morrow at noon. These was a grand ball at Government-house on the night of the 31st becember at which both Lord and Lady Falkland were present. The governor is said to have been requested to remain at his post till 1854 • on his retiremen, it is thought quite cer tain he will be succeeded byLord Fitzclarence. Con sequent on the continued indisposition of Brigadier Wylie, the command of the garrison of Bombay has been conferred on Col. Morris, of the 12th Native Infantry, just arrived at the presidency. General Stavely quitted. Bombay for Poonah on the 21st, General Somerset for Ahmendabad on the 27th, and Brigadier-General James for Belgaum on the 29th ult., these places being the head-quarters of their respective divisions. The Owen Glendower has just left for the Cape and London, touching at Cannanore for the invalids of her Majesty's 94th Foot. The girder bridge over the railway of By culla has just been finished, and is a beautiful piece of workmanship ; the iron beams, six in number, are 36 feet long and two deep. It is now quite certain that Mr. Jackson, of Cal cutta, kas been appointed Puisne Judge of Bom bay. He will likely arrive here by the next China mail steamer. Mr. A. B. Warden, of the civil service, has been granted a furlough t o Europe. The Bank of has f declarede producing beer dividend fromforthe the past six months at the rate of 5i per cent. per an num. The beer-stone recently sent out to the Government, has proved a failure at Bombay. The Masonic craft have hailed Lord Fitzclarence as a brother, and the call has been respond.e'd to right fraternally. His lordship partakes of a banquet to be given by the brethren on the 12th instant. The state of trade just now is very unsatisfactory indeed, and seems to puzzle mercantile men not a little. Freights have nsen to 4/. ss. and 4/. lo s . for London and Liverpool, and tonnage is scarce. Rate of Exchange ar e hi g h.

Exchange on England has risen to 2s. 1 13-16ths for for credit, and 2s. 20. for document bills, when these high rates induced a demand on the Calcutta market, which has caused the rates to retire to 3s. lid. for credit and 2s. 14d. to 2s. lid for document bills. The rates on Calcutta are 99r. per cent., and on China 217 r. per 100 dollars, at 60 days sight. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. THE BOMBAY MARKETS FROM THE 17TH DECEMBER TO THE 3D JANUARY INCLUSIVE.

The British and North American Royal Mail steam-ship America, Leitch, commander, arrived in. the Mersey, yesterday, at noon, with about 70 pas sengers, and the u sua l ma il s from all parts of the United States, Canada, Newfoundland, &c. There is no specie by this arrival. The America left Boston on the 19th inst., at noon, and Halifax early on the morning of the 21st, thus bringing five days' later intelligence from the whole American continent than was received•by the arrival on Friday of the Humboldt steamer off Cowes. Captain Leitch reports having passed the royal mail steamer Europa, off Halifax, on the 21st, and saw a large steamer standing westward on the 28th. The new steam-ship Arabia, which had put into Halifax for a fresh supply of coals, in consequence of the sever e ga l es s h e encoun t ere d on h er first out ward voyag e , morning of th e 15th i ns t. arrived safely at New York on the Intelligence has reached New York that all the passengers of the Cornelius Grinnell are saved. By advices received in Washington from Ha vannah, dated the 11th instant, we learn that Mr. Beyla, a wealthy and influential English resident at Cuba, had been ordered by the Governor to quit the country at two hours' notice. No reason was assigned for this severe step, and the interfer ence of the British Consul in Mr. Beyla's behalf had proved quite ineffectual. Considerable excite ment prevailed on the subject, both in Cuba and at Washington, on the news becoming known there. The commission sent to Mexico to examine into the merits of the Gardiner claim, has returned to Washington, and presented a report declaring the whole claim a fraud on the United States Go vernment. The accounts from Mexico of the revolutionary movements are at once meagre and conflicting. On the one hand, the Government papers represent that the rebellion is subsiding ; while others, on the contrary, assert that the troops of Uragas had defeated those of the Government under Vasquez in Guandinalo. When the America left Boston, there was a moderate amount of business going forward in all the chief cities of the union. The money market at New York, since the de parture of the previous steamer, had been very easy ; money was plentiful, and could be obtained at moderate rates ; the general trade of the country is reported to be in a most satisfactory condition.

Holloway's, 244, Strand, NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. • We understand that by this time Vice-Admiral Deans Dindas, C. 8., has received his orders at Gibraltar to proceed with his fleet to Malta. A contemporary reports that a steam-vessel will no comp my the Rattlesnake, Commander Trollope, to the Pacific, on her way to supply the Plover, and to assist in the search for Sir John Franklin. NV'e believe that no steamer will accompany the Rattlesnake from Eng land, but that orders have been sent out to the Com mander-in-Chief on the Brazils station to send a steamer to meet the Rattlesnake, and to tow her through the St mks of Magellan. It is believed that the Trident wil be appropriated for this service. The emigrants and crew of the Hercules, Commander , Baynton, at Queenstown, suffering, from attacks of small-pox, were landed in two launches, towed by the Advice, steam-tender, on Thursday, and were conveyed to the Naval Hospital, at Haulbowline, where every accommodation had been provided for them by the gal lant commander-in-chief, Rear-Admiral Provis.

It is added that the Postlt; de' General " sees no reason, at present, to change ' l oan cision in regard to the employment of the Great No r , g ay Railway for the conveyance of the mails." therefore expect little change for the better. SHOCK OF AN EARTHQUAKE.—.Two sharp shocks OA earthguake took place on the 12th at Ardbra, and Unders-Vick in Sweden. They went from south to north, and were accompanied by a rumbling noise re sembling thunder. A considerable number of windows were broken ; several houses were slightly injured, and some thick walls cracked. Oscillations of the soil were felt in other places about the same time, especially in the village of Jerisoo and Delebo. An earthquake in Sweden, and at this season of the year, is considered an extraordinary phenomenon. SINGULAR OCCURRENCE.—A rich farmer, named Denel, of Champigny-les-St.-Maur, near Paris, was a few days ago walking in one of his fields near a wood, when all at once the earth gave way beneath his feet, and he fell in. He uttered a loud cry before disappearing, and three labourers who were near hastened to the spot. But as they saw the earth falling in for a considerable distance, they were afraid to attempt to render any assistance. A gendarme, who was passing, hastened to the spot, and in spite of the danger, seized a spade, and began digging to get at the man. His example encouraged the labourers, and they aided him, as did also some persons who came up. But though they worked bard, it was three hours before they reached the unfortunate man, and he was quite dead, The falling of the earth was caused by the recent heavy rains having soaked to a great depth, and then filtered to a stone quarry at a short distance, BIRTHS.
