fantry, cavalry, and guns had not yet crossed ; that their advanced guard continues at Dbolpore, with two guns ; that, at present, of the two streams between Agra and the Chumbul, one is certainly unfavourable ; and that the boats have been de stroyed." The following is a copy of a despatch from Major Vincent Eyre, Artillery, commanding a detachment, to Col. Napier, military secretary to Major General Outram, K. C. B.:-- " Camp Koondhun Puttee, Sept. 11, 1857. "Sir,---I am happy to have it in my power to report for the information of Major-General Sir James Outran), K.C.B, that the expedition he did me the honour of entrusting to my command has been attended with entire success, and the daring' invasion of this territory from Oude has been sig nally punished. "I arrived at Hutgoanlast evening atdusk, where I was joined by Capt. Jonson's troop of the 12th Irregular Horse (40 in number). As they had marched 24 miles, and were in need of rest, I halted at half-past one a.m., when we had the ad vantage of moonlight to pursue our march tuKoond hun Puttee, where I arrived at daybreak. " The Oude rebels having been apprised a little previously of our advance, had fled precipitately to their boats, about half a mile off. I ordered the cavalry, under Captain Johnson and Lieutenant Havelock, to pursue them, and followed up myself with all practicable speed with the infantry and guns. We found the cavalry had driven the enemy into their boats, which were fastened to the shore, and were maintaining a brisk fire on them from the bank above. On the arrival of the detachments of her Majesty's sth Fusiliers and 134th Foot, under Captains Johnson and Turner, the fire of our musketry into the densely crowded boats was most telling, but the enemy still defended to the utmost, until the guns under Lieutenant Gordon opened fire, when the rebels instantly threw themselves, panic-stricken, into the river. Grape was now showered upon them, and a terrific fusilade from the infantry and cavalry maintained, until only a few scattered survivor s escaped. Their number appeared to be about 300. Previously to their plunging into the river, they threw their guns overboard and ble w up one of their boats, which had been boarded by a party of infantry, whereby, I regret to say one "man of her Majesty's sth was killed and ten more or/ess injured, of whom five were Europeans and Ave natives. All the officers mentioned above ds tinguished themselves highly, and the conduct of the men was all that could be desired. . " Lieutenant Impey, of the Engineers, and Mr. Volunteer Tarby, have likewise, by their zeal and Usefulness, merited my thanks and commendation. (Signed) " VINCENT EYRE, Major, " Commandin g Field Force. ~ P.S.—Having heard of another party of rebels at a ghaut higher up the river, I have despatched the cavalry to reconnoitre."

Fort William, Home Department, Sept. 19. N otification. _ It is the me l anc h o l y duty of the Right H on . the Governor-General in Council to announce the death of the Hon. J o h n Russell Colvin, the Lieutenant- Governor of the Northwestern Provinces. Worn by the unceasing anxieties and lab ours o f his charge, which pl aced him the very f ron t o f the dangers by whi c h, of late, in h 4, has been hreatened, health and st rength gave way ; and the Governor-General in Council has to deplore with sincere grief the loss of one of the most distinguished amongst the servants of the East India Company. The death of Mr. Colvin has occurred at a time when his ripe experience, his high ability, and his untiring energy, would have been more than usually valuable to the state. But his career did not close until he had won for himself a high reputation in each of the various branches of administration to which he was at dif ferent times attached, nor until he had been worthily selected to fill the highest position in northern Indi a ; an d h e l eaves a name which not frie s Witivhi alone, but all who have been associate d m a in the duti es o f gove rnment, and all who our follow i n h i s path w ill d e li g ht to o. m The Right Ho n cil dire c t s t h at t h e tha Gove rnor -G ene ral in Coun fla mast high, and that shall b e l owe red, half fited at th e seat of l7 minute- gun s shall be presen the r ece i pt of th e gover nment in India upon no By order of the G overnor- ti fication.

D. a Gordon, deputy-commissioner of Sulatpore ; Captain Sale, 6th Regimmt Gwalior Contingent ; Captain Irvine, wife and two chil dren ; Dr. O'Brien ; Mr. Verries, patrol ; Quar termaster-SergeantCarroll and his wife. All the party are reported to be pretty well." The kfurkant of the 16th Sept. understands that " Ali Nuccki Khan, the ex-Minister of Gude, now a State prisoner in the fort, is now allowed to in hale the fresh air of the Strand, but the King is still in close confinement." Lord Canning has, it is said, forwarded a kharita to the Rajah of Rewah, acknowledging his valuable co-operation, and accredited the Political Agent to the Court of the Rajah of Rewah temporarily on a salary of Rs.. 800 per month. The folloWing is a Government despatch : " Agra. —The latest authenticnews from the Chum bul up to the Bth of September is that the river has risen, and that the main body of the mutinous infantry, cavalry, and guns had not yet crossed ; that their advanced guard continues at Dholpore with two guns ; that at present, of the two streams between Agra and Chumbul one is certainly un favourable, and that the boats have been de stroyed." letter from the Fort, Agra, refers to the ap proach of 800 of the Gwalior rebels, and expresses the belief that the latter will garrison themselves at Bhurtpore. The writer adds :—" If the enemy bombards Ara Fort we shall certainly be dread fully out up, but there is no fear of their taking the place. Unfortunately, there is hardly a bomb proof building in the Fort, in which to shelter the poor women and children from the effects of the shells. Our detachment from Allyghur has got back to Hattrass, and is expected to return here this night or to-morrow. All the militia outside the fort have been brought in, and the respectable natives are now flying from the city in great num bers, believing the mutineers are coming. No ap- . prehension, however, need be entertained by our friends at a distance regarding our ultimate safety, for we are in good heart, and the fort is ressovbly strong, and no Hindostanee that was ever created will attempt to take it by storm. As for provisions and military stores, we have an abundant supply." CALCUTTA MARKET. CALCUTTA, Sept. 24. 7 —Since onr last issue under data the 9th instant. we have been in receipt of L',ndon ad vices to the 10th ult., by the P. and 0. Clompany'w steam ship Nishie. The commercial intelligence can hardly be said to have produced any effect on our trade, which cannot be expected to experience any marked improvement so long as affairs in up-country in general remain in that deplorable and disorderly state as for some time past. The operations, therefore, during the past fortnight have again been on a very limited scale. Oar produce market has continued without any alte ration, irregular supplies, high prices of many staple ar ticles a tight money market, and a gradually advancing exchange, all having combined to curtail operations for the British markets. Very little has been doing in sugar. Saltpetre lower in value, though stocks very small. No change in rice. Raw silk has declined considerably. A. small .business has been done in CJrahs, at reduced rates. Linseed in better demand, and prices higher. Jute lower. Lac dye unaltered. Shell lac continues in good demand. Castor oil higher in value. Nothing done in cutch. The improvement in our Import Market, which we reported in our last, though partial and caused by in creased local demand, has continued, and holders have been enabled to effect sales in some instances at en hanced prices. But in the absence yet of an inquiry for the Upper Provinces, the transactions must be con sidered limited, and the improvement temporary. Native dealers have been more eager purchasers of grey shirtings, jaconets, and madapoilams, but as the annual Doorgah Poojah holidays commenced yesterday and will continue for nearly a fortnight, the interval till the departure of the next mail will be marked by a total cessation of business. Figured shirting., and brocades have likewise been in better request, at improved figures. The favour able position of the twist market has been maintained. In metals the transactions are still confined to small pur chases for local requirements. Little doing in salt. MONEY MARKET.—Although there has been no altera tion in the rates charged by the Bank of Bengal, the position of this market at the present moment must be considered more unfavourable than at the date of our last. The difficulty experienced in obtaining accommodation on deposit of undoubted securities, even at a very high rate of interest, has caused much embarrassment among commercial authorities. The Bank of Bengal authorities continue to decline granting loans on deposit of Govern ment securities, except to parties of undoubted credit, and then even in moderate sums and at mach higher margin than what has been fixed by themselves. We understand in the Bazar Native capitalists have obtained as high as 2or 3 per cent. pt r month by advances in opium ; the exceptions, and not the rule. By the last statement of liabilities and assets of the Bank of Bengal for the week ending on the 16th inst., we observe that the amount of cash in the Bank has further declined from 77,12,305-4-2 on the 2d instant to Co.'s Rs. 58,53,409-6-6 which is about a third of the amount in the Bank this time last year. The decrease has been gradual for some time past, and might prove a source of embarrassment to the Bank if not checked by timely relief. We hear the Bank authorities have laterly de clined to discount even Mint Certificates and likewise Government acceptantances having 15 days to run. JOINT STOCK SHARES.—The position of the money market, and the inability of the Bengal Bank to advance further on government securities, has naturally tended to depress the market for joint-stock shares generally. Holders, however, are not inclined to make sacrifices, and the majority of our companies are in a sound and satisfactory position. Bengal Bankshares can scarcely be sold at our quotations. Agra Bank scrip is in favour. Some North Western Bank shares have been soli at a lower rate, the assets of this bank having been over valued in the last half-yearly retuens. In Bengal Coal shares or East Indian Coal shares we have heard of no transactions. The dernan for Goal continues extensive, the requirements of the Government and the railway company being large. The India General has declared a dividend of 80 rupees per share for the past half year, and our quotations are ex dividend. The Steam Tug Company has likewise a dividend of 60 rupees a share for the past half year, or equal to 12 per cent. per annum. In Ganges shares nothing is doing, and they are in less favour. GOVERNMENT SECUEITIES.—The difficulty and in some instances the impossibility of raising money for immediate purposes on deposit of these papers, by which holders have been placed under the necessity of making heavp sacrifices to supply their wants, has had the effect of causing a further depreciation in the value of all de scriptions of Government securities since our last. We understand Co.'s Four per Cents, were placed as low as rs. 34 per cent. discount ; but we are happy to observe that a bitter feeling has prevailed during the last few days, and capitalists having coma forward and made purchases, rates have improved partially. We quote to day Company's Fours at re. 23.80 to 29, and Fives at rs. 13.8 to 14 per cent. In Three-and-a-half and Four-and-Half per Cents. scarcely anything doing and value nominal. Theßank of Bengal is at present hold ing a large amount of securities, in which loans had been advanced to different parties who have been unable is consequence of thegreat fall in the value to clear thesecuri rities. The determination of the bank's authorities in not tbrowing the papers on the market we consider as very wise one, as the opposite course would no doubt have led to serious loss both to the parties and the bank, but would have likewise caused a fearful depreciation of the securities. EXCHANGE : on London.—The market for the present mail opened at 2-31 to 2-38 for first-class credits, but latterly the rates declined a little, and the same papers were placed at 2-31. Some local bank bills were alga sold at first at 2.31, and subsequently at 2 3 per rupee. At closing, the market had an upward tendency. Docu ment bills have ruled at 2-31 d to 2 51d. On China : A moderate amount of business has been done at Re. 210 per 100 dole.; there being few buyers. FEZIGHTS.—The requirements of tonnage for all parts proving moderate, in consequence of the shortness of .upplies of produce, combined with the maintenance of high prices and the rise in the exchange, which have checked shipments, our rates since our last have assumed a downward tendency. The available tonnage in the harbour is still sufficiently large, and as a large addition is expected before the end of the year, there is little dis position on the part of the shippers to enter into en gagements until alter the holidays, which commenced from yesterday, and will terminate about the 4th proximo. For London we quote to-day 31., and for Liverpool 21. 12s. Oil to 21. 151. for a fair de scription of cargo. No cargo has been offering for the European continent, and no charters effected for Australia, although for the latter place several ships are on the berth, having come to our port under charter. For the West Indies 21. 10s. has been accepted for rice. From China, o sing to receipt of favourable news from that country of rice, considerable engage ments have taken place, commencing at 1 dol. and con cluding at 95 cents. a bag, but at present not more than 90 cents, are being offered for moderate-sized vessels. To the Mauritius rates have been declining gradually from Rs, 1-10 to 1-4 a bag. Very little going forward to deadFrance,.one vessel only having with difficulty obtained hint raettaailhlesaoviy. p re e d r u t c e l e io f n er in li g ra h t t es g t e o e e d n s. able T h h e e r t o secure o w :0 g demand for the Straits of Malacca has b supp, several vessels h av i ng been fixed already. een Very lied low offers are made for Bombay, and hardly 18 rs. a ton (gunnies 14 cwt. to the ton) can be got now for small vesse l s . For Madras and Colombo scarcely anything offering, and we quote 25 re. per ton as the rate for small parcole. For Rangoon and Moulmein our rates have continued to rule at 15 rs. to 16 rs. per ton. CHINA. HONG KONG, SEPT. 10. Since the date of my letter we have very little of excitement or incident, and wait anxiously for the end of the month, when we may reasonably er pect to see Lord Elgin back from India. About the same time we look for the advent of the How Mr. . Reed from the United States and Baron Gros from Th e following-- - oat e ,i .information had b ee , O ti ,_. _ . O .the Madras Athence ain by Mr. . l France when the three diplomatists will probably com m um. i ma ke : "fair . . start'' for Pekin. It is said that the :?t,S-cretary Maltby : itt al ma jor w.

To take Cant , n will be no difficult mafter ; but the attempt to hold without a sufficient military force will end in dis grace—we must not despise the immense disparity of numbers. If Lord Elgin's mission of peace and diplomacy to Pekin fails—a result which everyone hero anticipates, war on a large scale will and must be looked for, and it is notorious that several Rus sian officers have recently reached Pekin, under pretext of being ea route to the Russian settlement at the mouth of the Amoor river. The blockade of the Canton river is strictly ob served. Same prize junks have been taken while attempting to break the blockade and brought here, where the cargoes have been sold. A French steamer and a gueboat have proceeded to the Gulf of Tonquin, in consequence of ill-treat ment that some of the missionaries have met with in Cochin China. The America, a Russian man-of-war steamer, arrived at Shanhai from the Amoor with a Russian Admiral on board, who, it is said, is on a diplomatic mission. The United States' ship Portsmouth left Shang hai for Japan on the 26th of August. The court-martial of the officers of the Transit for the loss of the vessel resulted in the captain and master being severely reprimanded. Her Majesty's steamer Sampson returned on the Ist inst., having towed her Majesty's steamer Sans pareil down the China Seas on her way to Calcutta. Her Majesty's steamer Tribune returned from Manilla on the Ist inst. On her way there she went round the Pratus shoal, but no new wreck was seen there. We understand the commissariat officer who went over to Manilla in the Tribune found that arrangements to get fresh provisions thence for the troops could be made should it be necessary. _ _ _ The American ship North Wind, bound from Foochow to London, tea laden, has put in here diamasted. His Imperial Majesty's ship Capricieuse arrived from Ningpo on the 25th ult. She brought several prisoners who were engaged in the late disturb ances at that place. The Portuguese Consul was a passenger. Amoy dates are to the sth of September. Very little had been done in imports. In tea the transactions amounted to about 30,000 packages. Prices were higher. Foochow advioes are to the Ist of September. The settlements of tea comprised 54,000 packages. Great eagerness was shown by buyers to obtain teas, and prices gradually advanced, and were quoted 4 to 6 taels higher for congous and souchongs, and 2to 4 taels for oolongs. Four vessels were on the berth for London. A short time since the Foochow authorities agreed to tade Mexican dollars at 2 per cent. dis count in payment for duties. They now object to receive them except at market value; The papers of American vessels are given up on proof that Mexican dollars have been tendered in payment of the duties. The British Consul requires that the authorities be satisfied. This difference gives a pre ference to American vessels. Mr. Tarrant, the editor and proprietor of the Friend of China, was convicted at the criminal session of a libel on Dr. Bridges, acting colonial secretary, and sentenced to pay a fine of 1001. to the Queen. The amount was at once paid. CHINA. MARKETS. EXCHANGE AND BULLION.

This portrait forms a peculiarly attractive and interesting subject at the present period, when the gallant soldier it represents is exhibiting his courage and wisdom on one of the most frightful and re volting battle-fields ever mapped out in the blood stained pages of civilised history. The countenance of General Havelock combines in its intelligent ex pression strength of physical energy, acuteness of perception, validity of decision, and vigorous intellect—qualifications thoroughly calculated to render him the fitting man to retrieve the discredit of our national war policy, re-establish our com mercial security, and restore tho blessing of peace to the innocent and helpless. The likeness is executed with masterly delineation of character and delicate artistic finish, and con stitutes a valuable addition to our list of real British Heroes. QUICK PASSAGE TO INDIA. TO THE EDITOR. OF THE SUN. Sia,—The telegram from India in - This Sun of thin day announces the arrival of the Thebes screw steamer at Gage on the 3d October, but does not notice that vessel's very rapid passage, which, including stoppages at St. Vincent's and the Cape of Good Hope, only oc cupied 64 days, the vessel having sailed front Kingstown on the 31st of July. We think it but an act of justice to the builders of the Thebes (ISlessra. W. Denny and Brothers, of Dum barton) that this fact should be made known at a time when the public are so anxiously watching the relative performances of the screw steamers and sailing vessels in the Indian transport service.—We are, Sir, your obe disat servants, G. AND A. HERRING AND CO. 12, Old Broad-street, Oct. 27. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Frascati (Saville House), Oct. 27, 1857. SIR, —ln your report of the disturbance caused here last night by Mr. Charles Preston, Mr. Charles Lang ham, and a female, there is an inaccuracy, which I trust to your sense of justice to rectify. Your reporter states (speaking of me), that " he went to the spot and was told by one of the waiters that they had been treating the female artistes with champagne, which was contrary to the rules of the place." The fact is, the offer toas made, and declined ; for it is the rule in my establi.hme nt to keep the artistes as distinct from the audience as in a theatre, my object being to provide intellectual e n j oyment, and not to pander to sensual de sires, and always —as far as it is practicable—to exclude improper characters.--I have the honour to be, sir, your very obedient servent, THOS. WM. O'KEEFE. MARKET NEWS. —{This Da: CORN EXCHANGE. Although the supply of English wheat in to-day's mar. ket was but moderate, the demand for all kinds ruled heavy. In prices, however, compared with Monday, no change took place. An increased supply of foreign wheat was on offer in fair condition. Great heaviness prevailed in the inquiry, and to have forced sales further depressed rates must have been submitted. We had a heavy inquiry for barley, at Monday's de cline. The malt trade was dull, and prices had a down ward tendency. The show of oats was very large, and the oat trade ruled heavy, at barely stationary prices. Beans, peas, and flour changed hand■ slowly, at barely lato rates. ARRIVALS TRIS WEER. Wheat. Barley. Malt. English 1,240 90 1,450 Irish — Oats.

ILLNESS OF THE EARL OF ABERDRRN.—The state of Lord Aberd e e n 's h ea lth i s caus i ng much anxiety to his friends. On Saturday afternoon he became so suddenly and seriously ill with obstruction of the bowels (an old complaint), that two of the l ea di n g Ab er d een physicians were sent for from Haddo House ; and on Sunday the relatives of the noble lord were summoned by telegraph. On Monday forenoon his lordship was reported to be somewhat better. ARRIVAL OF THE SIAMESE EMBASSY.—PORTSMOUTH, Tuesday Night.—Her Majesty's steam-ship Caradoc came into harbour this afternoon, having on board the members of the Siamese Embassy, The disembarkation is deferred until to-morrow morning. The State apart -nents at the George Hotel have been engaged for the exclusive a ccommodation of the Embassy, which consists of re p res entatives from th e Ki ng o f Si am and from the King Deputy ; and t h e magnificent presents destined for her Ma j esty are un d er the care of a third Special Commissioner. The suite consists of upwards of 20 attendants. L 11.3 I.lwr 17 ..,.. DIARKET COMMERCIAL DITELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLocK. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed quietly, and all descriptions tended downwards. The sales were estimated at 1,500 bales. The Railway Share Market closed with a more ani- Imated appeara nce , an d va l ues o f a ll th e leading stocks were steady. The report of th e di rectors of t h e G rea t Indian Peninsula Railway Company has just been issued. The result of working the 88 miles for the half year was as f2Llows :—total receipts, 33,6101., being an increaseibn the previous halt year of 9,055/. ; the expenditure was 14,6951. of the receipts, leaving a profit of 18,955/. to the credit of revenue ac counts. The line trona Bombay to Compoolee and Wassind was in good working order, and the second line from Bombay to Callian (Tarmah to Callian) was opened for traffic in Feb. last. The capital account shows the total receipts to have bean 3 ,348,995/., which, after the expenditure, left a balance with the East India Company and bankers of 1,604,513/. The advices from New York, although only one day later show the effect of the suspension of specie payments by the banks of that city and Boston. As was confidently predicted a considerable advance in the exchange had taken place,* and the quotation at the latest moment was at a point that will check the efflux of gold from this side. Much stress has been laid upon the proba bility of orders being sent out for purchases of goods and securities at their late depreciated values; but the next accounts will probably state that a recovery in prices has ensued, and the remittances in this respect may also be di. rninished. There can be no doubt that the cessation of payments in cash, although an extreme measure was the best course that could have been pursued under the circumstances, and if it had been determined upon earlier, much mischief might have beua prevented. The advices, on the whole, are viewed with increased satisfactien, for although many additional failures had occurred, evi deuce is afforded, that the crisis has been to a great extent surmounted. Measures will now be taken to repair the injury, so far as practicable, but some time must necessarily elapse before business recovers from the violent commo tion lately experienced. At Hamburg the rate of discount has again ad vanced to 84 per cent., but the fluctuations in this market are so frequent and unimportant, that they attract comparatively liitle notice. The half-yearly meeting of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company has just been held—Capt. C. G. Mangles, M.P., in tate chair. A dividend of 21. per share was declared for the current half-year, and the report was adopted unanimously. In Lombard-street and at the Bank of England the applications for discount are represented to have been rather extensive ; but owing to the extensive supply commercial firms are enabled to obtain the assistance they require in the current terms. A. alight concession is granted to first-rate houses, but the failures in the American trade have induced bill-brokers to look with some caution upon the paper of any house connected with that country. The rate of interest offered by the joint-stock banks for deposits on call and short notice, insures them a considerable supply, and there has consequently been less inconvenience than was experienced when the Bank first commenced its late restrictive policy. The Silver Market remains firm, and it is expected that the remittances on the 4th proximo will be rather heavy, as the East India Company intend to send out a large quantity of specie. The shippers have been awaiting the receipt of instructions from their correspondents before making active prepara tions, but as soon as the letters can bo perused ar rangements will be made forthwith. Bar silver is quiet at ss. lid. per oz. standard. The Funds have boon very buoyant, and the greater part of the decline experienced yesterday has been recovered. This action is attributable to the news from America, which has led to the im pression that gold will not be forwarded to New York in such quantities as was anticipated. Several of the bears have bought back, and this, . as usual, has produced an improved tone. The Indian intelligence may elm° have assisted to oc casion this favourable change, but the advices by the City of Washington have been the principal cause. Consols have been dealt in as follows :—For money, 884 881 881 89 ; while for the 11 account they are marked 88i ssi and 891. The present quotations are 88i 89 and 89 to 891 respectively. The New Three per Cents. are quoted 881; the Reduced, 87i to 88, Exchequer Bills 15s. to 20s. discount, and the India Bonds 1 40s. Bank Stock has been as low as 205 and 207. India Stook has improved to 2084 and 2114.

" J. SELLER, Manager." CRIMINAL COURT—(This Day). NEW COURT. (Before the Recorder.) THE LIBEL AGAINST THE HON. P. W. OADOGAN. The charge of lihel against Evans and Thorne WAII resamed this morning. Alter an absence of an hour and a half the jury ra turned into court, and the foreman stated they found both prisoners guilty—Evans guilty of having gone to the Hon. F. W. Cadogan for the purpose of extorting money from him, and Thorn guilty of having acted in concert with him. They also found that the plea of jus tification had not been proved. Thorn and Evans were then ordered into custody. The prisoners were then asked if they had anything to say why they should not be sentenced according to law. Mr. Evans denied that be had any intention of ex. totting money from Mr. Cadogan by publishing or withholding the libel. Captain Thorn said his object in going to Mr. Cado. gan was to save his character from imputations, and no with a view of obtaining money for the withholding of the letter. The learned Recorder then sentenced them to twelve months' imprisonment, with hard labour. OLD COURT. ;Before Lord Chief Baron Pollock, and Mr. Justice Erle.) THE QUEEN'S BENCH MURDER. Antonio di Salvi was planed at the bar remanded from last session, indicted for the wilful murder of Robert Henderson Robertson in the Queen's Bench prison, on the Bth of July la't. The prisoner was tried at the August session, and convicted of wounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm, Robertson being then alive, when he was sentenced to 15 years' pans! servitude. Since then Robertson has died, and the prisoner now stands charged with the capital. offence. At the September session the prisoner pleaded a plea of antrefoi aqua, that he had been tried and convicted for the offence with intent to murder, and that consequently he had been put in jeopardy for the offence with which he now stood charged. It was then arranged that the plea should be argued at this session. On the learned Judges taking their seats this morning, he prisoner was placed at the bar when The Lord Chief Baron said that as the judges had not been furnished with a copy of the plea, &c., and their attention had not been drawn to it so as to enable them to look into the authority on the point ; he thought it would be better to postpone the hearing of the case for a day or two ; in the meantime they could be furnished with the necessary documents, and the point argued as it ought to be before a full bench. It was then arranged that his lordship's suggestion should be adopted, and the hearing of the case was post• poned till Friday. THE CHARGE OP RAPE AGAINST A TRADESMAN AT PIMLICO. In the case of Mr. Richard Clayton, 'an exteneiveja master and manufacturer of soda and zorated waters, re. siding at Pimlico, indicted with assaulting and carnally knowing a young girl named Hannah Bond, the grand jury at a late hour this afternoon came into Court and returned " no true bill," thus ignoring the whole charge.
