L,UNDOLV, NOVEMBER 16, istl. f on) Muscat, by ;i small Arab vessel, which has r rived 'that port at. BocabAy, inform us of a con ' siderable vitiory which had been obtained by the troops of the Itnaum of Muscat, aided. by a small body t , f Persians, over the Wahabees. It appears that the latter had; approached close up to the town of , Muscat, and harlattateketl, plundered, and burnt Matra and Arb , ,k,, two villages in that vicinity, massitcreing the inhabitants without mercy. A tevi_days atterwards, the Waliabee horde - were at tacked in their turn, near Burka, a place about one day's journey to the northward of Muscat, by a party of Imaum's forces, with a bodvtiuxiliary horse from Persia, 'the hitter consisting of only 200 sleet). The Wahribees were completely routed ; Alahommed Binasslr, their Commander, and the son of the present Chieftain of the Wahabee na. Lion, was among the Slain ; 700 of his soldiers were left dead on the field ; and the heads of 60 officers 'were brought in triumph to Muscat, for each of which the linaum had awarded a sum' of 20 dollars to the siotors. Seven hundred camels belovng to the enemy had' also fallen into the pos session of the Imaum's people. The Wahabee, it appears, had abandoned the villages above-men. oohed two days after they entered them. The !maim of Muscat, at the date referred to in these accounts, had proceeded to Lung, on the Persian coast, for the purpose of collecting additional t roops. NAY G.—A gentleman who, not long ago, was . . a Captain in the Company's service on this &dab- . lishment, has been cominitied on a charge of indr der, by the Magistrates of 13qtares, under Cir cumstances of rather a.singalar descript ion. The gen- Aleinno to whom we allude,who had,been permitted to resign the Company's service, had been sent under restraint to Calcutta,, and direded to proceed hi England on board one.ol the Indiameh, whiCh ',aged from' hence in November last. During his stay at the Presidency,' however, a writ was served op him for debt—he was sent to jilt ; but pre . sently effected an anangement with hi; creditor, and otrained a release, belore measures could he adopted on the part of Government to renew his arrest. file immediately di4appeared—and 'torn that time until now, had not'heen heaid of. It-hap pened, that, Wine time Omit the period of this gen tlenrin'E, enlargement, a .cadet.... who had pended the service, and directed to proceed io Eng. land by die same ship, effected his es,,apa frinn Fort William. A description of his pet son had in constnnerice.heilo sent .to 011 the tannaLs throughout the country, with orders to apprehend hint, in.the event of his being found. The young man was dis covered, a few days afterwards, . going: about Cal , 'cotta in the disguise of a sailor, ,and has long since been sent to England. The order ior his,apprehen, howevem,, wss not recalled. And, nut many tveelts ago, a Tianualidar, in the neighbourhood of Benares, having detected. an European attempting to Pas . > t broil:Lit the country- ,under the disguise of Mosidelice, immediately concludect that this must • 'be tie man, d and look him into Custody. The Eu ropean was carried before the Magistrate at Benares, and pr4ed to be. Captain 'He was en larg,d on his parole, until a reteretice could be 'made to .Goveinment on his case ; which reference was iintut:iiiteiV replied to, by B warrant from the GO vernor General„ for his apprehension.

There. is • Some re;ison to believe, that the exclusion of the was 'accidental.

' And for further plea in this behalf; the said Thomas Kirwan sarth, that he is not guilty of the premises wherewith he is, by the said indidtnetn, charged---and of this he puts himself upon 'the country; and so forth." the argam‘nt was restitned at:the Sitting of the Court this day, when Mr. ToWIaSitEND, oil the part Of the Crown - , was heard in reply...: He stated, that he had to reply to the arguments given 'by the Gentlemen On the Other side, anti to prove that the demurrer ought to be' allowed ; he' had heard i argued with much su6rise, that the Crown ough not to have dolnuried,' but . have put in a plea . ; i was even insinuated as a hardship; but such an argu ment was news - to him, nor could he admit the lUD of it. It has also beet; said, that we ought to have averred that the persons challenged were freemen of the city of Dublin; and that. we ought to have brought the charter of the city.of Dublin -for this Court to have recognized that they were in the city of Dublin, and it is Contended that the Ci•urt are not to notice it otherwise„ But, continued- Mr Townshend, it is not 'a week since the'Grand Jury' of the city of Dublin were sworn in this Court.r- Had not tl n Com t matter to recognize it theti--are there nut firty statutes, headed, by the city of Dub lin, by which the Court are bound to notice, that it is sitting in the County and' city of Dublin ? The Court of King's Bench is also, when sitting, a Court of Oyer and Tetminer, or General Gaol Delivery for the county and the ell) of Dublin, and'.was-not the indietment found in the city of Dublin) Citt any one, after this; contend that this Court has no judicial knowledge of the fact.. Mr. TowNsueNti ' continued 'to argue with great ability and at much length, all the points which had been offered ,at the other_ side, citing numerous S!a tutes and cases in support of his argument; which' we are unavoidably obliged to postpone giving. The Court declined pronouncing judgrrient this day, nor, would the Bench give their opinion until liiey had looked into the various authorities which had been cited. A most Unhappy Misfortune occurred on Sunday morning to Hanover-lime. A quarrel, as it a;.= pears, Tiad arisen between two men on , the one side; Jatnes Conolly and Peter Edwards, and a Yeo man, named Pullet!, on the other. It 'began with party Songs;---those fomen ters of that wretched niuttiOn which certain persbns'are too active in erc 7 , The `Men continned scuffling; after they were, pbt out of the hone where they had been drinking, until they came opposite Pollett's house, when, as we understand, his son, 'se e ing his la ther,in danger, rushed out with a biryonet ; and, we lament to say, the death of Cottony ensued.— We have not apdce for the particula's of this de plorable event ; which is, ilpossible, still mnrc w be regretted, for the opportunity which it afford:; to the restless agents of popular irritation.. Young Po'lett was condntled, yesterday through the stt•eeis to priion ; anti, as might ; have been ex pelled, was pursued by the frantic violence of the 'exasperated mob. :His case 'will asszuedly be pr.-judged ; --but the law knows no reseturnt nt, it aids no clamour. '.l f the catastrophe arose limn his apprehension for his fathers life, let him at least be pitied; let him not be howled and ronted' OW of the ,World ' A Coroner's Iriquest was held on Sunday about four or fife u'clock,. at which the woman we men tioned nave her oath as to the circumstance of James Po'tett coming out armed and stabbing Conoily.; and likewise that on Sunday morning she saw the court-gate open from which the Constables supposed young Po!Jett must have escaped ; she was much surprised at seeing it so, because it was quite con e vary to custom.
