THE OVERLAND MAIL. INDIA. On Saturday last we (Times) published a tele graOin message from Trieste, in anticipation of the Over land Mail. We have now received our Indian letters and papers by the Marseilles route. There semi to l‘e no advices fr3m China by this arrival. The follow;ng are cur carrespondo3nts , ' letters : " BOMBAY MARCH 19.' " The late :t news that we have.received from the Persian Gulf bears date the 25th of ,February. When t'‘e steamer which brought it left Bushire prep iritiolis were making quietly but rataidly for the despatch of a large portion of the force to attack the Persian forirsss of Mobammersh. This place is situated on the right or northern bank of the river Karoon, at the point where its waters join tho , e' of the alre idy united Euphrates and Tigris. Some 70 mile 3 below, and by narrow and difficult channels, which however have been of late well surveyed, the open sea of the Gulf is reached. Above M ihammerah some 30 miles, and on the Euphrates, is the Turkish town of Bussorah. Mohammerah, incleea, is afrontier post of Prrsia, close upon the boundary line be tween the territories of the Shah and the Turkish provinces of Arabia. Commanding, as it does, the lcurrent of the Euphrates, the Persian force sta- Coned there have been able to do us not little damage by intercepting the supplies which our commissariat officers at work among the Arab tribes despatch down the river for conveyance to the camp at . Bushire. Hence the resolution of General Outran to attack and capture it while yet the remembrance of the rout at Kbooshab is too fresh in the minds of the Persian authorities to render an attack on" Bushire probable. It is, more- ' over, suggested as a motive for occupying'iloham merah that, with the mouth of the Karoon thus opened, an advance to Shuster and thence into the interior of the country will be comparatively easy. It is quite possible that this latter consideration has had weight with the General, and that such an ad vance may be contemplated as an ulterior opera tion. But at present the question of supplies is the more pressing one to an army encamped in a desert country, with a powerful enemy in its front ; and the great Mesopotamian highway as the prin cipal, almost the only, channel of such supplies; must be cleared and kept clear. For this purpose Mohammerah must be taken, and a sufficient force_ left in the place to prevent recapture. That done, the remainder of the force must hurry back to its camp at Bushire, to act on the offensive or defen sive as circumstances may require against the mass of the Persian army that will have been by that time got together to meet them. "Tlie defences of Mobammerah are reported as 'formidable, and it is thought possible here that a heavy loss on the side of the assailants will be at tendant upon their capture. By the latest accounts they were manned by 14,000 Persian troops, with 14 guiis, • "some of whom were stationed in the forti fied town itself, the rest strongly intrenched in a date grove outside. The town will be assailed from the river by the steamers, the Semiramis leading. But the in:renchments in the date grove are not, I believe, acces , ible by the guns of the fleet, and must be assaulted by the troops on shore.. The portion of the force destined for this service, and of which the embarkation at Bushire had commenced at the date of the latest letters, consists of the 3d troop of Horse Artillery, Captain *Aitken's field battery (sent straight up to the river's mouth with out being landed at Bushire),' and, I believe, the whole or the greater part - of the following corps : the 64th, 78th Highlanders,. 2d • Europeans, 4th Rifles, 30th and 26th Native Infantry, and the Light Battalion, with - some Sappers and Miners. Several regiments will leave a company or compa nies in the camp, and there also remain behind the 2d Beloochees, the 23d Native Infantry, and the whole of the cavalry. When • Mohammerah shall have fallen Brigadier Hall will, I.believe, be placed in command of the fortress With the two naive regiments forming his brigade, and the rest of the troops will, as I have intimated above, be reconveyed to Bushire with all speed. At Burazjoons the site of the old camp, from which they were frightened away at the sudden approach of the English the day before the battle of Khoo shab, the Persians e t re again collecting in force. Probably the General will not be able to repeat the blow that he so successfully dealt on the previous occasion without a large accession of strength, wßich he may await within his intrenchments undisquieted while his communications by sea and river with Turkish Arabia are secure. 'But where at the present moment we are to look for reinforcements on any large scale it is by no means easy to say. The army of the Western Presidency has done much, but it was thought that if aided in some of its stations by troops from Ben gal or Madras it might do a little more yet. The 3d Europeans, a lately raised regiment which has never yet seen service, is lying at Poonah. It lately received orders to march to Bombay, for embania tion, and was already on the way when an officer of the Quartermaster-General's Department was sent , up in hot haste with counter orders, and the corps retunied to its cantonments. It appears that the Ist Madras Fusiliers, who were to have replaced their Bombay brethren at Pool)* could not,- it was thought by the Madras authorities, be spared fromtheir own Presidency. And without being re ' placed the Bombay regiment could not well be re ' moved, for its withirawal would not leave a single European infantry corps in the Presidency lower than Deese in the north, with the exception of the wing of the 96th stationed in Bombay.. We are sending, then, no more European infantry from Bombay, though the 14th Light Dragoons are gone, or going, their last squadron leaving the harbour to-morrow. Their place is partly supplied by a wing of the 12th Lancers, of whom part have ar rived from Madras, and others are daily expected. In such another affair as that of Khooshab the 14th will have ample• field to add another to their many laurels. The charge of the 3d Cavalry on that occasion, of which I wrote in my last, has called forth the admiration of a Bengal officer, who cites it in proof of what horsemen, well led, can do against infantry. After describing the formation of the ,Persian square as excellent, steady, and un touched by artillery, he proceeds (in a letter to a Calcutta paper), with so vivid a description of the charge—of which he had merely heard from eye witnesses, not seen himself—that I am tempted to extract it : " When Forbes, who commanded this regiment, gave the order to charge, he and his adjutant, young MoOre, planed themselves in front of the 6th troop, which.was the one directly opposite the nearest face of the square. The other Moore, Malcolmson, and opens came the least thing behind, riding knee to knee, with spurs in their horses' flanks, a s if rac i ng a ft er a hog. In rear of them rushed the dark troopers• of the 3,1, mad to avenge the death of poor Malet at Blishire. In spite of steel, fire, and bullets they tore down upon the nearest face of the devoted square. As they approached, Forbes was shot through the thigh, and Spen's horse was wounded, but unheeding they swept onward. Daunted by the flashes arid the fire and the noise and crackle of the musketry, the younger Moore's horse swerved as they. Came up. Dropping his sword from his hand and letting' it hang by the knot at his wrist; be caught up the reins in both handr,, screwed his bead straight; and then coolly, as if ridir.g at a fence, leapt him at the square. If, therefore, any man can be said to have been first, the younger Moore is that man. Of course the horse fell stone dead upon bayonets ; so did his brother's, ridden with equal courage and determination. Toe elder Moore-18 stone in weight, and Eft. 7in. or thereabouts in height—cut his way out on foot. Malcolmson took one foot out of his stirrup when he saw his brother officer down and un• armed (for his sword had been broken to pieces by the fall), and, holding on to that, the younger Mporeescaped. The barrier once broken, and the entrance once made, in and through it poured the avenging troopers. On and over everything they rode, till,' getting clear out, they reformed on the other side —wheeled and swept back—a second wave of ruin. Out of 500 Persian soldiers of the Ist Regular Regiment of Fars, who composed that fated square, only 20 escaped to tell the tale of its destruction. Thus the 3d Light Cavalry, to use their own phrase, gave our enemies a jewab I(answer) for the death of Malet Slkib Babadur.' 6 4 We have no local news of importance.' " Money is plentiful, and the banks have reduced their rates of discount a further one per cent. " Exchange on England, 2s. lid." " CALCUTTA, MARCH 8. " I have little to tell you of the war beyond this : —The Scindian recently stated that a force had been ordered to rendezvous at Shikarpore, on its way to Quetta. The names of the regiments weva given with a most circumstantial minuteness, and tor a moment the statement was believed. The Sciiidian, for reasons well understood on the spot, has excellent information, and rarely publishes an erroneous report. In this case, however, he has been misinformed. I am positively assured that no such orders have been issued. The Government of India maintains a rigid and most injurious secrecy in regard to all the operations of the war. The frank policy of Lord Dalliousie has been aban doned, and the 'smallest facts are concealed as care fully as if the Persian Court were in communication u'ith the Indian press. This mystification is a symptom of the weakness beginning to be felt in every departraeut of Government. There is a want of courage, or, if you will, of audacity, iu every resolution of the supreme authority. Troops, for instance, could have been sent to China from Madras with the greatest ease. The safety of Hong Kong wal endangered in order .to save re.ponsibi lity.-- Lord Da!housie airoull have had 10,000 ,men afloat within a month after the reqUisition realhed Calcutta. One regiment, the telegraph informs us, has-at last :keen sent, but a regiment tin do little more than garrison H. tong. "NV have had another. mutiny, more serious than the last. The men of the I.t)th Native Infantry, at M or-thedabad, heard of the dispute about t'oe • cartridge paper. By - way bf expressing their feelings t uey.held a, parade .on t heir own account with their arms. The Colonel commanding remonstrated with the native afieers,*;,ivko, u , tial, adhered after a passive fashiorrtistheir superiors. The men, however, were still rilractoiy, and he called out a regiment of cavalry and two guns. The two arms 'in India seldom coalesce, and the c evalry are usually as tru , t worthy as marines on board ship. The men were then ordered to ground their arms and return to their barracks. They agreed if the Colonel would send away his cavalry. The Colonel appears to have d' elided the responsibility of an armed con flic,, and acceded to the conditions, fir which be has been rebuked. It was undoub'edly a serious error Of judgment, as it was .lmost impossible that the Infantry, should have ventured to attack the guns, and there were 2,000 Sikh Irregulars within 40 miles. I can r?adily imagine, however, that an old officer .would from humanity alone be unwilling to see his own regiment cut to pieces. Terrible as the necessity may be, however, I question if the diffichlty will be overcall:re without one -severe ex ample. This cartridge question is travelling north ward, and will excite every Sepoy regiment in India, until in some station a determined Brigadier gives the men the option of obedience or death. There is" on this subject no weakness either with Government, or am ,ng: the public. Every man feels to the bottom of his heart that the safety of the empire hinges on- the instant suppression of mutiny iu whatever shape it may appear. Some punishment will, I doubt not, be meted out to this regiment. The papers have a story that the King of Oude is at the bottom of it all. I need not say this is absurd. " A. stange and to some 'observers a very dis agreeable incident has occurred in the North west. A few days since a chowkeydar, or vil lage policeman, of Cawnpore ran up to an other in Futteghur and gave him two chupat ties. These are indigestible little unleavened cakes, the common food of, the poorer classes. He ordered him to make ten more, and give two to - each of the five nearest chowkeydars with the same order. He was obeyed, and in a few hours the whole country was in, commotion with chowkeydars running about with these cakes. The wave swept province af,er provines with a speed at which official orders never fly. The magistrates were powerless, and the chupatties at this moment are flying westward. Nobody has the least idea what it all means. Some officers fancy it is a cere mony intended to avert the cholera ; others hint at treason—a view encouraged by the native offi cials ; others talk of it as a trifle—a joke. For myself, I believe it to be the act of some wealthy fool in pursuance of a vow ; but its significance is this :—There are some 90,000 policemen in these provinces. If they should perchance imbibe dan gerous ideas, how perftict is their organisation. " The annual reports contain, wrong other in formation, au account ot the progress of Pegu. The proiincs is becoming prosperous. The people have got rid of their notion that we were about to aban -don the country, and are settling steadily to culti vation. The burmese, Karens, and Shans are thronging into the northern districts; and the area of cultivation has increased by 136,000 acres in one ye-sr. The export of rice has risen to 126,000 tons more than the usual export of Calcutta. The trade,- which hits sprung from -nothing, has reached two millions sterling. The revenue is 30 Jakhs of rupees (300,0001.), and the expenditure' not 20. There is now-no doubt, even 'among the opponents of an nexation; that Pegu in 20 years will pay a revenue such as in Asia is obtainible only from these rich deltas. Great efforts are being made to introduce su perior cotton, but I have no confidence in them. A native does not want to be t old to grow cotton. He willgrow anything that will pay, and increase cultiva tion to any extent the moment the price rises. The demand for j ute doubled last year, and was provided by the cultivators at once. It pa , d, and the native prejudices" we are so fond of talking about never stand in the way of their interest. I saw a Parse a Brahmin, a Mehter (scavenger), and as English man all sitting ou the same seat in the railway the other day, and all profoundly indifferent to the outrage on their respective superstitions. on the 4th inst., which will be found btlow, as coin• pared with the statement of the 11th ult., inserted in oar last. shows an increase in the arn-unt of cash from rupees 7.0,97.726-12 5 to rupees 80,55.118:11 9, and a d-crease of loans on deposit of Governme-t securities from rupees 170,74,039.8-6 to rupees 154,58,016-10-0.

Batik of Bengal shares are little inquired after and slightly lower. Bengal Coal shares have further de alined, the last sale having been effected at I,loor. each. In others we have not had much doing. Government Securities—The improved aspect. of the money-market has given more confidence to the dealers, aed, added to the reduction of the‘Bank of Bengal rates, the value of the Four per Cents, has gradually crept up. We now quote Company's Fours at 16r. Ba. to 16r. 2a., and Sicca Fours at 18r. to 18r. 8a Little doing in Fives at 8 annas per cent. discount. Stock Receipts nomi nally at 15 per cant. discount. Exchange.—On London—For the present mail the market opened at 2s 20 for bills of the Oriental and other banks at 6 months' sight, and 2s 2 5-16 d. to 2s lid for first-claim credits at like sight, and ruled steadily throughout at those figures ; while some bills for Akyab account sold as high as 2e. 20., and in some instances even at 2s. 2id. Bank bills at three months' sight have sold at 2s. 21 to 2s 2d. per rupee. On China—The rates have crept up slowly, the last transaction having been done at 211 r. per $lOO. • On Mauritius—We quote 531 cents per rupee, and on .Bombay 30 days' eight papers 2 per cent. •Freights—Tonnage to a fair extent had been taken up for London and Liverpool at almost the same rates as those quoted in our last—i.e 3/.. 15sT„for the former and 31. 7s 6d for the latter place, cargo consisting of rise, seeds, and light goods in equal proportions ; but the ar rivals being numerous, it was expected the market would rule lower. The receipt, however, of orders from China by the Fiery Cross and Lightning on the 2,1 in stant for large shipments of rico caused much excitement, and tonnage to the extent of 13,000 tons was taken up at once for that country at $1 a bag, a small quantity only having been engaged at a slightly lower rate. The ships taken up to load with rice, we understand, are the Acastus, the Good Hope, the Albion, the Bengal, the Coringa, the Crescent, the City, the Bnshire Merchant, the Hanover, the Ariadne, the Rienzi, the Clasmerdon, and the Swarthmore, to convey in all about 170,000 bags. One or two vessels are loading for Australia, hav ing come under charter from that country. For. America the rate continues at $lO a ton, although many of the ships now in our harbour have been chartered there and sent out at 141. to 151. a ton. The Conrad, now under repairs, is engaged to load with a cargo of timber for Great Britain. The American ship Qcean Rover bas been taken up. for Havre at 31. 12e 6d to carry rice only. The ships Affaredy. Duguescin, Himalaya, and Lafay ette are fixed for France. The Jules and Alai, for Bombay, at 15r. per ton. For the Mauritius a fair amount of business was done at Ir. 4a. to Ir. st. 6p, per bag ; but the last two days the market bas assumed an upward tendency, and some business has been done at lr. Ba. per bag. It is expected emigration to the Mau ritius will soon be resumed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-April 13. WESTMINSTER. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF ABDUCTION AND RAPE—Rosa Bush, a servant, 21 years of age, and George Richard Clarke, aged 35, a forenian of bricklyers, described as a married man, with a family, were planed at the bar, charg ed with the abduction and rape of Elizabeth Harris, a very pretty and innocent-looking girl, not yet 14, although apparently older, the daughter of an opulent Jew salesman and clothier, carrying on business at 30, James-street, Buckingham-gate. Mr. Sleigh, barrister, conducted the prosecution on behalf of the Associate Institute for the Pro tection of Women, and, in his opening, stated that, according to Ks instructions, a more atrocious' case of abduction and rape WAS never brought before a court of justice. He then went into abrief statement of the fact*, as afterwards proved in evidence, and dwelt with much feeling upon the pain, anxiety, and anguish experienced by the parents of the girl at the calamity brought upon her by the heartless and infamous conduct of the prisoners. Elizabeth Harris sworn—l am 14 the Ist of next August. I first saw the male prisoner some months ago ; he was employed at some new build. inga near our house. He often talked to my father at the door, and sometimes spoke to me of an evening at the shop when I was alone. The "female prisoner, Rosa, was our servant. On the 30th of March she asked me to go with her for a *alk, and to see Mr. Clarke on the way. She first took me to Kensington Barracks, where she thought he was at work, but we did not find him, and I then accompanied her to a house somewhere near Notting-hill. A little girl opened the door, and Rosa then took me up stairs to a back room on the second floor. It was about nine o'clock at night when we arrived there. We had been walking about from three in the afternoon—the time at which I left my parents' house. There was a bed in the room and we stayed there all night. I wanted to go home, but Rosa would not let me. [ weal - Led t) go home the next morning, but she still prevented me. In the course of that day (Tuesday) the prisoner Clarke came to the house. Rosa had written a letter, as she told me, to him to come. He came into the room about two or three in the afternoon, and remained until nearly six on the following morning. I don't recollect that he said anything. He talked a great deal to Rosa. I asked him, when it came night-time, whether he was going home, but he gave me no answer. While be was there I again spoke to Rosa about wanting to go home to my parents. I did so more than once, but she told e not to bather her. We had sotnething to eat. Clarke gave her the money to fetch it. He went to bed in the room between nine and ten o'clock. I was sitting on the carpet near the fire at the time. He undressed himself, but I did not see him undress. Rosa was sitting with me on the carpet near the fire. He wanted me,to get into bed before he undressed, but I refused. He said "Betsy, get into bed ;" but I would not. He did not before he was undressed put his hands upon me. He repeated his request, while he was in bed, but I would not go. Alter he had said, "Betsy, come to bed," a great many timer, and I would not, he made me come to the bedside. He did not get out of bed ; but he called me to him, and I went to speak to him. When I went to the bedside, what he said to me, after again asking me to come to bed, was, "That it would not matter, because we should be married next week." He did not at any other time talk about our being married. i again replied that I would not ga to bed, but ho said I must. All this occupied about half an hour ; and while I was by the bedside I called to Rosa, but she would not answer. I called seve ral times. He got me into bed. I was dressed. I fell asleep at the side of the bed. I don't know how I got on the bed in the first instance. I had not been standing, but sitting on a chair, at the side of the bed. I don't know how I got into the bed. My first knowledge of being there was find ing, him against me. I had not drank anything that afternoon but tea. I had had nothing at all else that day to .drink. When [ found myself in bed my clothes were not on ; they had been taken off ; there was no light in the room ; there was no fire there. Rosa was asleep on the carpet. I called to her, hut she did not answer. When I called Rosa he spoke to me, and told me not to maks a noise. Witness here went on minutely to describe the capital offence charged, and added, I struggled, and still kept calling out "Rosa," but I obtained no answer. I tried to get out of bed, but he would not let me. I pulled him by the hair and arms, but I could not get away from him. He held me so that I should not call ; he held my mouth; he put his hand over my mouth so that - I should not call. Next morning he got up and went to tolds work. Rosa was still lying on the c ar p et. Rasa when she woke what had happened t o me, and she told me it was nomatter as I was going to be mar ried on Sunday. I cried, and to ld her I c ould not go home after what had occurred. She said it was no tnat we were land. Clarke and Rosa ha d told na matter, I could see my pare nts before.

The overland mail fr.im London of the 10th of Feb., per Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamship Ganges, reache.i Bombay on the morning of the 9th inst. Our money market during the past fortnight has be come very much easier, and the banks in consequence have reduced their rates of interest 1 per cent, all round, and the rates now rule from 7 to 9 per cent., but money is obtainable under these rates in the bazaar. We have to report a further rise in Four per Cent. paper, which we no w quote 84, and Fives par. Our local stocks to some extent have also improved in value. IMPORTS. Cotton Piece Goods.—Since the de-patch of last mail very little business has bean transacted in our market, owing to the intervention of the Hulee holidays, which caused all doing to be suspended for a week. The mar ket remains firm at last quotations. Fancy Goods.—The market has been dull, except for articles of low qualities. Cotten Yarns.—This article is dull, and no sales have been effected, with the exception of 100 bales. The market, however, is soon expected to resume an active appearance. Metals.—An improvement has taken place in all de scriptions except Swedish bar iron. We quote 'British bar at 35 jr. to 36r., and Swedi b bar at 60r. to 65r. per candy. 6pelter is in good demand, as also pig lead, of w i kich latter the stock is very light. EXPORTS. Cotton Wool.—There has been a further advance in the value of the new crops of 2r. to 3r., but the old crops have declined by three or four rupees. We quote new Oomeravutte at 125 r., old Comota at 113 r., Surat and Broach at 138 r, and 139 r., new DhoHera 131 r. and 132 r., now Mangarole 122 r. and 133 r., old sawginned at 125 r. Coffee—The market is in a tolerably Fatisfactory state. We quote Mocha at 10r. to 104 r. The price of Malabar has advanced by eight annas. Hemp.—Arrivals of this article continue to bo large, and the value has risen from two to three rupees per candy. Oil Seeds.—The prices have further risen from 10 to 11 annas per cwt., notwithstanding the fact of the sup plies being very large. Linseed is in active inquiry ; teel seed continues steady in prices, and is in moderate demand. Opiam.—Scarcely any business has been transacted, and we quote 1,107 r. for Indore and Mundleswar. Tonnage.—Freights have advanced in value, and we now quote 31.75. 6'J:to 31. 108. for Liverpool or London. Exchange has ruled steadily at 2 s , iv. for first-ciass paper, local credit r,;bills selling early in the mail at 2s. 1 15 16d., while documents have fetched from 2s. 10. to 2s. 2 , 1.

Since our issue under date the 21st ult, we have been in receipt of the London mail of the 26th of January, by the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamship Ben tinck, although the advices by that opportunity had already been anticipated—first by the electric telegraph, anti subsequently by the regular dak from Bombay. We have not much activity to notice in our produce market, the last advices from home, with one or two ex ceptions, having scarcely caused a better disposition among shippers to operate. While some of our staples have been in better request and enhanced prices have beet paid, others have been easier. An active de mand has prevailed for silk throughout the fortnight. Sugar has improved both in demand and value. Saltpetre is higher, owing to immediate requirements. A fair business has been done in rico. Hides continue to attract attention. J ute has slightly declined, and little doing. Oilseeds have been easier, and supplies more abundant. In other articles we have hardly any change to notice. A steady business has been in progress in our import market. The advices from the Upper Provinces as re gards British cotton piece goods proving favourable, the sales during the fortnight have been to a satisfactory extent, especially of grey goods, at the advance in prices noticed in our last, and but for the dearness of money, and consequent want of facilities, we should have bad to report a large amount of transactions. Grey shirtings, jaconets, and madapollarns have continued to sell freely. Fur mule twist, however, the' demand has been less active. In metals a fair business has been done. Money-market.—A gradual improvement has been visible since our last. A better feeling among capita. lists seems gaining ground, and there is every probability of the pressure soon disappearing from our market. The state of the Bank of Bengal having likewise improved, as we had anticipated, its rates of interest and discount have been reduced 2 per cent. aa round in the interval, the margin of loans on deposit of Government securities remaining, however, untouched. Its rates are at pre sent 11 per cent, on loans, 10 per cent, for discounting Government bills, and 12 per cent. private bills. The ° statement of assets and liabilities for the week ending 4 0 .

Mr. Arnold pointed out to Mr. Sleigh some dis crepancies between the girl's evidence and the state-, ment made at the time her information was taken . on oath and the warrants granted for thesappre hensiqn of the accotsed, and remarked that, if the c'iarge was to be shaped for a rape, the contradic tions were of considerable importance. • Mr. Sleigh thought that every allowance should be made for her tender years and the embarrassing circumstances of the case.. She was a perfect chid in years, and although there might be some trifling alteration 'in minor details, there was no doubt about the fact that the offence charged bad been fully coinmitted, as would be proved by the medi cal testimony. Perhaps the magistrate would allow the case to stand at present as charged, and would . not call upon him at that early stage of the pro- • ceedings to elect between shaping the case as a rape and " procuring," under the Bishop of Oxford's Act, -" fir the defilement." Mr.Arnoldhad no objection to the courie proposed, hitt said thlt if he commit ed for rape, he should feel it his duty to send the information on oath, with the deposttions, to the court where the offence was-to be tried. The gill was then cross-examined by Mr. Lewis, jim., who attend-d for the accused. She said—My parents - tell. me I fitn"nly 14: Rosa had been iu our rk-rvice four months. I' often spoke to Clarke at the door, but she used to take messages. She brought a message from him the night before I left home. She gild me he said that if I did riot come away at 7 the next morning, he would not live to see me ou the'followirig Monday. My father and mother were at home when she told me. I left nay home on the next day. My father and mother were kind to me. I did not tell them of this. They did not know that we were intimate at all. I did not wish to conceal it from them, but I did not think pf getting married, and that was the reason I did not tell. I don't know why I did not tell my father and mother. When she brought me the mes sage I have spoken of I told her I would not go. I had never been out with Rosa before. It WaS about 3in the afternoon when we left home. She told me she would take me out to have a run and see Mr. Clarke. I had last spoken to him in the street twomonths before. Idid not ask her where she was going to. I did not think it was wrong at all. I did not tell my parents I was going out to see Mr. Clarke. I consented to go out to see Clarke and went with herto Kensington Barracks for that • purpose. I stood at the side while she went in to look for him, but he was not there. We walked about from 3 till 9 at night. She said we were going home. I knew I had not got home when I went to the house at Notting-hill. Rosa told me it washer friend's house. I did not hear anything said when we got there. She went inside and talked to the woman of the house, and she told me to con* up stairs, and I went up. I had not previously to that refused to go home. I slept with Rosa in the bed that, night. She wrote the letter the next morn ing to Clarke. I saw a woman and a boy at the* house besides the girl who opened the door to us when we first went to the. house. The woman brought up some coffee in the. morning. Rosa told me to go t-.) bed on the Monday night as I was at a friend's house, and it was too late to go home that night. I wrote a letter home to my parents on Thursday. I did not write in the house on. Tuesday. I did not ask -to write. I swear posi tively I did not write at all on Tuesday. I have written sonaeletters to Clarke. Rosa used to indite them. I have left school 12 months. No money was given into my hand at the house. Rosa re ceived some money there from Clarke. I sat from 3 till 10 o'clock on the Tuesday that Clarke came, but nothing was talked of between us. I asked him if he was going home ; that was all I asked him. He took tea with us. He never spoke to me all the time he was there till he was goin g to bed. I don't know who undressed me. don't know who took anything off me. Ido riot know how I got into -.bed._ I screamed out, I swear, when 1 found myself in the ba=d. I screamed loudly, very loudly, as loudly as I could, on all the occasions, but no one came to me.. refused to, go home afterwards. When he got up in the morning he went away without speaking to me. He never talked to me about marriage afterwards. I did not tell the landlady what had happened to me. Rosa fetched the things all the time that we ,were in the house. The longest time she was ever away was five minutes. She was constantly with me ; and I never left the house till my mother fetched me. I did not like to go home because I feared my parents would not look upon me. I did not tell the old lady of the house because of the disgrace. Re-examined by Mr. Sleigh—l gave the letter I wrote home to Mr. Clarke to post. Rosa washed one of my articles of under-clothing in the room on Wednesday. I saw Clarke give Rosa money on the Tuesday and Thursday—l think 10s. and 4s. She showed it me afterwards. Mr. Sleigh having solicited an adjournment, the prisoners were remanded till - Friday, and bail was refused for their appearance. SOUTHWARK.—Edward John Syer, a person employed by Sir C. Napier's election committee, was summoned before Mr. Combe by Wm. Wise, cab driver, No. 2,134, for refusing to pay him 16s. for the hire of his vehicle on the day of election, the complainant being engaged to carry the voters to the polling booth. The complainant said he was engaged by the de fendant to carry the voters on the 30th ult., the day of the Southwark election. He had since ap plied for payment, and being unable to get his money, he was compelled to take the present pro ceediogs. DefenJant—l admit employing the complainant. On the 28th ult. 1 engaged 30 cabs for Sir Charles Napier L-25 at 18s. the day, and sat 16s. The complainant was one of the latter, I received my , ooers through . Mr. James, Sir C. Napier's commit tee agent. I have thole orders in writing, and was auihorised by the' committee. Mr. Cotobe—T hen you must pay the complainant and look to the committee. D e f en d an t—But I was then appointed superin tendent of cabs for the election, and surely lam not answerable. Mr. Combe—You must pay, whether superin tendent or not. You were the only person who hired the complainant. If you had told him to go to the committee, as they were in want of cabs, and. 'if, they had hired him, they would have been an swerable, but you hired him and must pay him. Defendant—How shall I act with Sir C. Napier under the 'circumstances ? Mr. Combe—Go and see him about it. Defendant—That would be of no use. Mr. Combe—That's another thing. Who is Sir Charles's agent ? Defendant—Mr. James, of Croydon, and Mr. White acted for him. I received my orders from the committee, and the complainant should go to them, and not to me, who am only a poor man. Mr. Combe—You must pay it and sue them. I underataud you actually carried the voters to the poll, and surely, as that is t he case, they will pay tor that. Sir Chu. Napier had the advantage of the voters, and he must payif the demand is correct. A cab proprietor in the body of the eabrgt c which ou 11 out; " The committee hire d 25 nl7 pto of I were used in conveying voters to tlpoll, and can't get my money. It s rascally f c ., Napier and his committee, but I'll mike il him pay.' Mr. Combe—l am sorry to hear t esecomplaints, and I think there must be something that has de= layed the settlement of the accounts between Sir, Charles and Mr. James, his agent. There might have been some agreement about the gross amount to carry him through his election. I daresay if you wait a little time you will all mat. b.-- your money. S y er _—lt's disgraceful on his part as well as his committee's to allow one of his servants, a poor man , to be summoned for a cab hired by their orders to carry voters to the poll. Mr. Combe—l cannot help it. I must act accord ing to law, and as you were the hirer of this man's cab you must pay him.. Syer—lf I must I hope you will give me a little ime, as I have not the money at present. Mr. Combe—What time do you want, then, as I order you. to pay IGs., and 6s. ccsts ? Syer--I'll pay it in a week, sir. But what must I do ? There are nearly 30 cabmen in .the same position, and I may be summoned here by all. Mr. Combe—l should recommend you to sum mon Sir C. Napier in the County Court, as if you have the orders of the committee in writing be can not get out of it. Ho could not have had all those voters hal it not been for the cabs, as many would not have gone to the poll had they not been carried there. At the same time I should advise you to apply to him first. Syer—l'll do that directly, sir ; and I am much . obliged to your worship for giving nae Ow to pay The next vacancy among the "Active" flag, officers will occasion the promotion of Captain M‘Dougall, the Superintendent of Packets at Southampton.
