1 N 1) 1 A. CALCCTTA GAZETTE, rLB Wu r.v Is, 1817. We li;ive received letters of a most satisfactory nature fro‘m the Bengal:Sidisithary Force crt plor:-- Camp .214heer, a few marches distant from - 13e1hary, Jun. 13. ' . "Or CLARKE, ‘iith the sth cavalry and eiOlt flank companies, was sent' in advance by Colona AnAris from Birramgonge to 13elliary, eii.;'m or ten days agO ; and on tie strength of intelligence the Major had received, he ordered C' +praiu Caulfield, with one squadron and two companies of infantry, to Chandiall, where a body of Pindaries-was expected Olt the 21st. Captain Caulfield did not arrive until tl,e 22d inst. though 1.) , made iuctedibly long marches: They IrAd un luckily passed be:ore ; however, on the evening of the 24th, at sunset, he got a siglret of their camp, at iiilhant, atter a gallop of nearly 7C) miles. A *teen banked unfortunately brought the cavalry up in full charge, otherwise t he camp would have been surprized, and our success of course greater. The rascals had time-to mount and ar range for a regular fight, but iii spi•e of darkness, nullahs, and fatigue on the part of our gallant: troopers:, four hundred of them, were billed and wounded, (luring a parsuit of seven or eight miles iii . the <talk. This is infinitely satisfactory. Ma dras long cloths, silks, swords, and daggers, com prised our principal booty ; 211110tillt. averaged at five or 600(} rupees. With another squadron Captain' Caulfield thinks they w;oild not have al lowed a man to escape, and probably Would have seenred goods and money to the amount of a lac of rupees. We are on' the look-out for another piece of good news from Major Clarke, upon . whose position the discomfited body- must almost of necessity fall ; he being in their direct route. Captain Caulfield writes in confidenei' cif sor ptiing a third body, which is now in- full flight towards hiin. Ilis iiircarralis may be depended upon, and every circumstance has tended to strengthen his hopes - . These villains hewill pro batit!i handle in a similar manner, and then Wird them over to Major Clarke, who is full of energy, activitY, - and spirits. Captain Caulfield calculates' the fOree he' eircotintered at 3000 .horsemen; All our damage is one 'wan wounded, four horses ditto, and seven or eight horses missing, IWO or three of K!tici►'l aye hern heard of, and most probably will be recove.red . We have taken 300 tattoos and horses, in addition to the above-mentioned prize articles. Letters of the 21st ult. state that various de tachments of the sth cavalry were actively em ployed iu hunting:after another gang of matauders. Ode division reached Belhary on the preceding day, after,idarching 64 miles in. 24 hours. Tlie 'other affair took place on the morning of the 16111 tilt, at a _spot lying seventy miles west of Seder. On the Ist, Major' Macdowall of the 1%1 :dray t,tahlishMent, was diSpatched from Hy drabad With two or three einnpanies of: infantry, 'sod one thousand Mysore horse, in pursuit of a bodt:rot the enemy, repOrtil to . be plundering to the Southward of Doeulatabad, He came up with, them on the-night of the'lsth, and got into their camp unobserved.,fhe cxe,cutiowtlnneby the fire Of bis 'ileta,chment, was not, however, great ; as the enemy, undercover of , the dark night, soon took•ro Hight; and, dispersing in every direction, succeeded in Ofecting their ,escape. Not more than thirty or forty men were• titled or wounded. A oiti horse we're.'captiired ; and a large quantitforbaggage, consisting chiefly of brazets tttensjs taken from the .villagets, and of little va- Itie. '" A ermiSiderable number of matchlocks, spears and swords', likewise fell into the hands of the victors. The Mysore horse are said to have shewu much bark wardness - on being ordered to charge. Colonel Rossr.ll is understood to haVe gone in quest of another band in the direction of Nun . (FROM THE BOMBAY COURIER OF FEB. 15.) By information received here from Nagpore we learn, ".at on the 12th JanuarY a picqUet-from the sth Regiment of light cavalry, under the command of Lieutenant Crowther, oho had been directed by Colonel Walker to patrale' for that purpose on the Boorltampoor road, fell iu with a party of ahout t 0 Pindaries, and attacked and killed 50 of them. Colonel ‘ifilkt , r had further, up to the 21st of January, destroyed and taken several small parties returning from the Southward, in all about 200 men, being apparently part of the survivors, of the body so roughly .Itandled by Major Lush ington ; very ft.w of them had any plunder. One of the dispersed bodies of .the Pindaries, that had been so successfully attacked by Captain Caulfield, cou•i..ting of about 150 men, was fallen in wittrby Maim Clarke, cononanding a light de tachment of toe Nagpore subsidiary force, on the 25th January, about three cuss on the lett of his position at t he cam p of Goculpore, two Cl/SS sou th or Shporra, at tour o'clock in the afternoon, and the pursuit Was continued till dark for Seven ; at least 100 of the banditti were. killed. Aiajor Choke con-tinned on the look-out for other bodies of them, and we expect will give a good account of them. We are sorry to state, that by accounts received here, dated from An_jar, the 14 , b January, it ap vars that the plague, or a contagious disease very similar to it in its symptoms and effects, has made its re-appearance near Butchao, 'in Cutch, at a vill,ge called Geiria, and that there was also a re port of the disease having appeared in Wankaneer: No pvienlars are given of the amount .of . the daily mortality, from which circumstance we are induced to believe, that the disorder had not yet committed any great ravages, and We hope that it will not extend to tl:e sea coast.

LAW INTF,L.I,IGENCE. COUILT OF ci-iX - NcEhy, Auo. 0. EX-PARTE STEWART THF. MATTER OF BRIANT. Mr. LEACH moved the Court for judgment in this case, observing, that there, was an indictment against theplaintiffs at the Kingston As sizes, respecting the non-delivery of certain pa pers, which tendered it of importance'that the judgment shod(' he speedily given. .Sir SAMUEL RoMILLY Said, that the ground on mtlich this motion was made was, in his opinion, the very reason on .which the Ctititt Ought to re fuse it. There was something very siligutir' in an application to the Dud Chancellor to give judgment because the matter in question . was be., tote a Court Of Law. Mr. MONTAGUE visited jadgMelli to be given, because if it were dclayed some ~,rtjadice might he. excited against the plaintiff. le hoped his Lordship would comply with- the — ntotion, - a, the procrastination of the judgment would be inju rious to the party, who had already suffered from delay. The Lorn CHANCELLOR said, no Man could feel more auxiety thau he did to get-through tbe business of the Co , irt, but he was well aware that delay must often be a subject of complaint with suitors.. For his own part be could lhowever say, that, as far as human strength permitted hint, he applied himself earnestly and diligently to thedis charge of his duties; ,but such was the immettsitY of business. now before the-Court. that ii, rtAuire six ChaneellOrS and six Vice,Chaneellots to get 'through it. Thought the proceedings of the Court might be 'considered tardy, he could d e cl a re, fro m the bottom of his soul, that be felt most sincerely for the state of suspence in w!lich - clients were placed. lo this case he had no donut remaining : still, however, when he saw parties disposed to go such lengths in litigation, he was hound to sift e.yery tact- to the, bottom ; and he would now say, once for all, that he would nei ther aceelate nor retard judgments nu account of any indictments which -might be pending in'Courts of Law. Ile was everauxious to exccute.hts duty as promptly as possible, hut he knew of no cir cumstances by which be could be induced to hasten some judgmeots to the injury of suitors in otheye.4s..s., - Mr. M9NTAGUE hoped that if his Lords,b;ip (14 not trice judgment lie would allow the pvers'to be lookt.ql at: Sir SA:MUM. ItOMiLLY observed, tfrar no appliCation xis this had previously been made ; at least if it had, no notice of it had hccft giyrn to hint by the other side. Whatever wish there. !nigh( be reqtecting the papers„.it. had not L:en, asserted that they were of importaticein the in dictment, The course winch the Court, prf.)pv.,ed to take appeared highly pr-per, and was to-him perfectly satisfactoiy . . . . Mr. MoNTAGuE-s - aid, that be bad made the op-. plication in the presence of Mr. Wiant,.and that Mr. Wingfield had besides iieardhfmmakt:it.--- The papers in question were actually in his posses ! . sion, but he dorst not ,pp6l the b.ig without his Loldsh:;,'s . order. . . The LORD CHtiNCELLOR.—If heunderstood the matter rightly, Mr. Moi.igue..,liatlin sitia Papers which would be of use., in t xis case.; Was it ,so ? - - • , Mr.. - ll.—Yes : and the Vice-. Chancel for has directed that the bag shall,uot be ope.4ed IVitholit your I,ordship's order. The LORD CHANCELLOR observed; that this WAS: to him a new circumstance, of which be had-be.-:- fore no knowledge. Sir S. ROMILLY doubted the fact of such an order haciug been, made ; at least the Court ought to have it Verified on other authority beside the allegat'ou °l:Counsel. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that if he had lime, am d the overwhelming business in which he was involved, he would look over the papers; and state what he thought of it to-morrow ; but it was not to be expected that he should forward this or any cause at the expellee of other suitors. A short time since, a young Gentleman, about 18 years old, son of M. SuIT . ON, of Colchester, who is completing his education for mercantile pursuits in life, at Rouen, in Normandy, observed a young man WllO was bathing in the Seine, which, is broad and deep near Rouen, and the tide of flood'extremcly rapid, in imminent danger of be ing drowned, in consequence, of his haying . in cautiously ventured beyond his tlepth. Mr. SUT TON perceiving that the other youth had entirely lost his presence of mind, with a degree of cool . and determined intrepidity which does him the highest honour, plunged into the stream, and reach ing him at the moment he was sinking, was for tunately enabled, by his expertness in swimming, to support hint till a boat arrived to his assistance, when 'the French youth was taken ashore in safe ty, and restored to his anxious friends. We have ,great pleasure in noticing this trait of feeling and determined courage in.onr spirited young Coun tryman, and cannot but express oar hope that the success which attended his efforts, will stimulate many of the rasing generation to instruct them selves at an early period in an art which often affords the possessor an . opinntunity of contribut ing to the preservation of a valuable life. An interesting exemplification of the natural af 'fection which all animals feel towards their young, - occurred last week not far from Puttigo,Enniskil len. in swimming a cow and her self to an island situated at some distance in the lake Erne, the lat ter became so much exhausted on the passage, as to, be in dangerof drowning. The dam, .who had nearly reached the opposite shore, ,perceiving the peril to' Which her offspring was exposed, inst an tly turned back, under strong symptoms of anxiety, swam to the spot, seized the sinking animal in her mouth, and bore it in safety to the land. • A gang of upwaras of 30 boys has been disco vered at Bath, who have for some time subsisted by begging in the day; and thieving by night.

The clerk to whoth the draft was presented was not in at tendance upon his Lordship, but Mr. Vile, who was present at the time, stated the following cir- cuinstauces : The.draft was presented a short time previous to the charge, and as soon as it was ascertained to be a forgery, Mr. Vile questioned the prisoner as to the mode ill which lie became possessed of it : the:lroy said lie brought it from a Mr..Johu son at the New York Coffee-house, who order ed him to receive the amount and bring it to him.

POISONING FowLs.—Yesterday Mr. Mayne, of Islington, was charged before Jou N GIFFOIID, Esq. with unlawfully and maliciously - scattering poison on the premises of Mr. James Seers, his next door neighbour, and also.in the public street, whereby 18 fowls belonging to Mr. Seers were destroyed. Mr. Seers stated, that he rents his house from Mr.-Lytle, who has an ,empty house adjoining; their gardens are separated by a fence of 8 feet high. About four months back Mr.L.soaked barley in arsenic,which i threw in his own garden, and by which several of Mr. Seers' fowls were destroyed. lie, •Mr. Seers, then remonstrated with him, but he answered by saying, :"D—nyou, if you hada thousand •I'll poison them, and atter that .Will poison ye all " • Mr. Seers since then had been compelled to keep his children within doors, fearful of their being poisoned ; but Mr. Lyne had thrown the barley front his own garden into his, and would sweep the poisoned barley off the:gravel walk in his own garden to Mr. Seers' gate ; and he was at length compelled to adopt the present proceeding fur the safety of the lives of his family. Edward Seers, junior, deposed that he saw Mr. Lyne throw poisoned barley into his father's gar een on Thursday last. Mr. John Cronnis saw the poisoned,baileyly ing in Mr. Seers' garden, and also at the gate in the public street.

The present case, lie tkought,.recuired further consideration, and con seqtiently he, should require rueponsible sureties for his appearance, on a, future day.

CLIFFORD, ESQ. This was an action of assault. The plaintiff, a young Israelite, who sued by his next friend, Judai So'onions, carried on the business of a Slap-seller, at Sheerness : and the defendant, at the time of the transaction in quest ion,•wai a Lieutenant-Co lonel in his Majesty's service, commanding a re giMent.stationed at Sheerness barracks, and now tone with his regiment to India., It appear6l that the defendant, suspecting the plaintiff to have bought some regimental shirts of some of his men, contrary to the Mutiny Act, went to his shop, accompanied by a sergeant and two or three privates, for the purpose of making search. The plaintiff was at fist disinclined to shew his slops ; but the defendant, insisting upon examining' his raggery, found, upon turning over a bundle of Old shirts, one which was inst a ntly re cognized, by conspicuous marks, to belong to the regiment which thee defendant commanded.* Upon' demand to yield up the property-the plaintiff stood (pen the right of possession, and said he should not part. with the shirt without an-cquivaleor„--., The derendditt, however, appealing to military law; denoanveira pt °scent ion u ialer the Mutiny Act, for having military sto r es illegally in his posSession, unles the shirt was given Au altercation ensued, in which the plaintiff* said, " that the deleanant was 00 gentleman to take 'away' his properly ►tat hat In 4 tine r."

WOODWARDS V. LEH. • This was also an action of assault.—Mr. wool) opened the pleading, and Mr. GURNEV stated the case to the Jury: It appeared that both parties were masters ef ceremony in the equine department of two_ inns at Gravesend, from which rival:stagecoaches started, one called the Lord Nelson, and the other the Blue Eyed Maid, for Loudon. The plaintiff, who. catered for the Blue Eyed Maid, excited the envy of the defendant, by the number of adherents, which he enlisted on the side of his, patroness, ,the latter conceiving - that the greater respect was due, in these " piping times of peace," to the fame and memory of his hero,. for whom he wished to monopolize all the itinerants . from Gravesend to the metropolis, Fur a con siderable time the rival champions kept within the bounds of legitimate emulation, but on, Sui'- , day, the 15th June last, an incident occurred whicb brought their exertions to a sanguinary issue. A soldier, attracted by the charms of the Blue Eyed Maid, paid homage at her shrine, and was inonediattly admitted amongst her votaries; but the defendant thinking a hero of Waterloo a: fitter ally for the Hero of the,Pille, took offeile'e atti the conquest made by his fair rival,.and immediate ly'commenced an attack upon her active City to whose insidious artifice he attributed t seduc.: don of the soldier. Ile planted a dreadful' blotti upon the nasal promontory of the plaintiff's vi sage, -trom which immediately gushed a- dreadtut lieniorrhage, and before 'he had time to r e ecov - ei, the coMpo•stire ot his nerves, another - blow from the defendant's sinister feeler, put one of his op tics in semi-mourning, and utterly incapacitated him fOr a fair trial of his own pirgiltstie prowesi. lie took refuge under cover ot the Blue Ey4 Maid, but his antagonist following up the assault with tremendous fury, laid hint prostrate amongst his horses' feet, where it was probable lie t °old: have been trampled to death but for the interpo sition of the by-standers, by whom he was rescued from his perilous situation, and cat tied out of the reach of the defendant's further vio lence.
