FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE, EGYPT. Private letters from Malta bring additional intelligence from Alexandria to the 22d of March. It appears that there are some political relations between Mehemet Ali and the Imaum of Sanaa, who is the Sultan of Yemen. An envoy extraordinary of this Imaum went to Egypt a few months ago, and had secret conferences with the Viceroy, the pur poses of whiCh are yet unknown. He returned to his mas ter, accompanied, on the part of the Viceroy, by Hussein Effendi returned from his mission to Cairo, and thence started at once for Alexandria, where he thought to find the Viceroy, but not finding him, he returned to 'Cairo, and on the 13th of March had a secret interview with him, in which he gave a complete account of his mission. The Viceroy seemed completely satisfied, and Hussein Effendi was again sent with fresh despatches to the Imaum. It is reported at Alexandria that the presence of . the Scheriff of Mecca on the coast of Yembo, where the Bedouins bad risen, has greatly contri buted to subject them to the Egyptians. The Bishop Fre derico Cao came to Cairo by the way of Suez, having accom plished his mission in Ava and Pegu. The Viceroy has returned from Cairo to Alexandria, and the preparations for war always continue. Tents, which are intended for the four regiments expected from Arabia, have already come to Alexandria, and powder and ammunition are disembarked every day at Mahmoudeh, whence they are transported by camels to the Government magazines. Exer cise is gone through both by laud and sea ; 60 cannons of large calibre have been sent to Aboukir to fortify that sta tion, and carriages for cannon are manufacturing at the ar senal. On the 20th of March Aly Gezar, an old Arab, was sent by the Viceroy to Boulaque and old Cairo to form the redif (militia). This man had been in disgrace for 15 years for a quarrel with Soliruan Aga, whom he attempted to shoot. He was exiled, but as he was an influential person, the Pasha recalled him to Alexandria, and said—" Old man, I have made you a colonel, hut you shall not wear the decoration until you have formed a regiment at Boulaque and Old Cairo." The Alexandrians have become proud of bearing the mus ket, and the colonels and officers are more haughty than the Pasha himself. The Capuchin priests cannot appear without being grossly insulted. Ibrahim Pasha, from never praying at all, has turned devotee, prays five times a day, and severely chastises those of his soldiers who will not do the same. The plague continues, and the doctors, not fully understand ing the disease, often fall into ridiculous mistakes. An Arab, who had fallen in the street in a tit of intoxication, was sent to the Lazaretto by the health authorities ' and though on coming to his senses he cried out that he was well, the guardians of health would not commit themselves, and he had to perform quarantine. Accounts from Dames state, that the murderers of the Pa dre Tommaso have at length been discovered, but the details of the affair are so extraordinary that it is hard to give them credit. It appears that the deceased was invited to enter the house of certain Jewish merchants, who sent his servant for a barber. They all assisted in cutting the throat of the priest; his body was hung up by the feet, that the blood might flow into a basin ; and his flesh cut into small pieces, and his head and bones heaped up in a pile. These remnants were put in sacks, to be thrown into the common sewer of the Jewish quarter, where they were found. Nine persons were appre hended, and seven, amongst whom were the barber and the servant, confessed the crime. Some turned Mussulmans in the hope of saving their life, but in vain ; five have been al ready hanged. According to the confessions of the murderers, the priest was killed that his blood might be used for passover bread, according to an ancient custom of their religion. However, the Israelites say that this confession is entirely false, and has been drawn forth by torture, and that the government has only wanted an excuse to despoil the rich Jews of their wealth. A singular feature has been the violent indignation of the Mussulmans of Damas, &c., at the death of a Chris tian. The strictest exercise of authority has been required to prevent the extermination of all the Jews in Damas. COLONIAL INTELLIGENCE. CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. The Cape of Good Hope papers reach to the 9th of Febru ary. Banking seemed prospering in the colony, and from the reports made of the operations of the respective esta blishments for the past year, there appeared every prospect of progressive improvement. The Cape of Good Hope Bank, which had existed three years, had declared a dividend of 15 per cent. On the 3d of January a statement of its liabilities and assets was published, and it then appeared that the lat ter exceedect.the former by £76,132. The South African Bank in this its first year's report showed a profit of £5,079, of which sum £2,559 was carried to the reserve fund, leaving £2,520 to be employed for the payment of a dividend which had been declared at 6 per cent. The assets and securities of this bank on the 31st of December, 1839, exceeded its lia bilities in amount £59,124. The Eastern Province Bank had also declared a dividend of 6 per cent. out of the profits of the past year, and its first of, existence. From the frontiers the accounts continued favourable, and the discipline used by the Lieutenant-Governor to preserve order was spoken of in terms of commendation. An interview between the Lieu tenant-Governor and some of the Caffre chiefs is alluded to, and it is said that Macomo spoke reasonably and with dis cretion, but Tyali and Botma were rude and insulting. Nothing, however, was feared from this by those who knew the general character of the tribes. The particulars of the interview are not given. The Marquis of Camden, one of the old first class Inda men, has been totally wrecked on a sand-bank off the Sere rary Islands, between Pannay and Mindora Phillippae Islands. The French ship L'Asie, which was in compny when she struck, succeeded in saving a quantity of opio3, (228 chests,) she had on board, the amount of salvge on which (one-third) allowed to the French captain, amouts to upwards.of 30,000 dollars. NEWS FROM CHINA AND INDIA. (From a Second Edition of the Morning Post.) By an extraordinary express from Marseilles and Paris, we have received our letters and journals brought by the Atalanta steamer. Our dates from Bombay are Feb. 29, China Jan. 7, and Calcutta Feb. 16. The following is the letter of our Bombay correspondent _ _ Bombay, Feb. 29. The accounts from China, which are to the itliof January, continue of the same unfavourable complexion as those pre viously received. The reports which were previously in circu lation respecting the imperial displeasure at the failure of the Commissioner Lin's attempt to eradicate the traffic in opium turns out to be totally unfounded. His master's con fidence in him is unshaken, and instead of being degraded, as reported in the Canton papers, he had received additional marks of the imperial favour. The decisive measure adopted by Lin of excluding British commerce for ever from the em pire has received the approbation of the emperor, and the commissioner has not only been relieved from all the respon sibility of the ordinance, but the power of modifying it has been taken out of his hands ; and he is thus precluded from entering into any negotiations for the restoration of our intercourse, all of which must he henceforth directed at once to the court at Pekin, and not to its minister at Canton. Before the Emperor's pleasure had been know, the com missioner issued a fresh edict (a copy of which I transmit herewith), prohibiting the evasion of the new law by the transhipment of British goods to foreign bottoms, to be con veyed to Canton under the protection of Li foreign flag, to do so. The Captain of every American and other foreign ship, before being permitted to enter the port of Canton, was re quired to give bond to the. following effect :—" If we have got on board the goods and merchandise of any ship belong to the English nation, no matter whether taken on board within or without the Grand Ladrone Island, or on the high seas, or at Singapore, or at Penang, or at Manilla, or while touching at any other of these foreign possessions. If any thing of the kind be found on board, we are hereby perfe.ctly willing that both ship and cargo be confiscated." The Thomas Coutts had commenced taking in her home ward cargo, and was expected to leave about the end of January. She was being loaded by the merchants at the rate of £8 to £9 per ton. The Royal Saxon, Captain Towns, had also succeeded in getting up to Whampoa. It appears her Majesty's ships Volage and Hyacinth had left their an chorage at Tankoo, and repaired to Macao, for what reason does not appear, unless to enjoy Christmas-day at that place; and the captain of the Royal Saxon took advantage of their absence and entered within the Bogue, of course having pre viously signed the required bonds. Connected with this event is the capture by the Chinese of Captain Gribble, of the firm of Gribble, Hughes, and Co., who proceeded after the Royal Saxon in a Chinese fast boat for the purpose of putting a tea taster on board, which, having accomplished, as he was returning to the fleet his boat was seen and chased by a Mandarin boat with about fifty rowers, and was overtaken close to the shore—himself taken out and carried away—but all his Chinamen escaped by jumping overboard and wading ashore. On the circumstance being made known, a number of the boats of the fleet at Tangkoo was manned with the greatest promptitude and went in pur suit, but failed to come up with the boat. On the 3rd of January it was ascertained that Captain Gribble was in con finement at Canton, end it was expected that he would be immediately released therefrom by the Commissioner. The officer and crew of the Sunda, wrecked on the coast of the Harnan, had been conveyed to Canton, where they were at once admitted into the city, and introduced to the Commissioner and all the other public authorities. They were treated with great kindness ; the sailors were regaled with a pork feast, and the whole party was sent on to the English fleet without detriment. Lin talked much with the captain, and was greatly delighted with Mr. Thelwall's book against opium, a copy of which appears to have been on board, and which was read to him, it is stated by a cabin boy. He is also reported to have said that notwithstandidg all that had passed, the English might return, if they would engage in the lawful 'trade ; but this is inconsistant with the edict of eternal exclusion, to which he had obtained the Emperor's sanction. The late conduct of Captain Elliott seems inexplicable, even making every a llowance—and great allowances ought to be made—for the difficulties of his position. He appears to have made an attempt at reconciliation, which has only afforded a fresh opportunity to Lin to degrade him still fur ther. This vacillating conduct of the Superintendent is lamentable, and it is matter of congratulation that all further negociations with the Chinese will be speedily placed upon a different basis, and entrusted to other agency. Captain Elllott's position has been a very difficult one, and his feel ings are not to be envied when the accounts of the dishonour his bills have met with from the British Government shall have reached him. A very great error appears to be prevalent in England in as suming that the opium trade was the sole cause of ;he late crisis in China. It undoubtedly accelerated it, but, inde pendently altogether of matters connected with opium, the time had arrived when the interference of our government with respect to China was absolutely necessary to place our relations upon a proper footing. The British Government ought to have peremptorily interfered in 1834, on the occa sion of the murder (for it was little better) of their represen tative in China, the late lamented Lord Napier, the occur rences connected with which had nothing whatever to do with opium. Nothing however was done at that time, the attention of people in England being engrossed with some petty affair of politics, and the insult was tamely submitted to. Nothing short of a crisis such as has occurred, and the consequences of which will be felt through out the length and breadth of the land, was sufficient to rouse the British Government to a sense of the importance of the interests at stake. With regard to the projected expedition to China, I have not any additional particulars to communicate. Lord Auckland has arrived at Calcutta, and in a few days we shall hear more definitely what the plan of operations will be. H.M. ship Wellesley, Captain T. Maitland, having on board Sir J. J. Gordon Bremore, commodore, commanding the British squadron in the Indian sea, arrived at Madras on 'the 11th instant, from whence she was to sail immediately for Calcutta in order to enable the commodore to confer with Lord Auckland, as to the measures to be adopted in relation to the expedition destined for China. The expedition is said to consist of the following troops ; from Bengal, her Majesty's 21st and 26th regiments of native infantry ; from Madras one regiment of Queen's troops, four of native infantry, one regiment of artillery, and one of en gineers ;—trom Ceylon, one regiment of Queen's troops, total ten regiments. General Sir R. Arbuthnot, Commander in-Chief at Ceylon, is to command the above-mentioned force; and Generals Oglander and Walker are to have divi sions. The expedition is not intended to arrive in China before May next. Two vessels have been chartered each to take in 200 tons of coal and some stores, and to proceed to Madras ; from thence receiving troops they proceed to Ceylon and Trincomalee where they will change the troops and proceed to China. Eight other vessels, the Ernaad Hiaemar, 'Rai many, Nassurat Shaw, Indian Oak, Edmonstone, Alla Al lenie, and Mahomed Shaw, each receiving 300 tons of coals and provisions, and, taking troops, will proceed direct to China. Tenders for tonnage to convey her Majesty's 55th regi ment, had been issued, but afterwards countermanded. Brigadier Stewart of Vellor, has been appointed to the com mand of the Northern Division on the departure of Major- General Welsh. :RETURN OF KILLED AND WOUNDED OF A DETACHMENT UNDER THE COMMAND OF LIEUT.-COLONEL ORCHARD, C. 8., BEFORE THE FORT OF PESHOOT, ON SATURDAY, JANUARY 18, 1840.

(From a Second Supplement to the Calcutta Gazetteof February 15.) Camp, Peshoot, January 19. 1840 TO CAPTAIN DOUGLAS, ASSISTANT-ADJUTANT-GENEILL, ARMY OF THE INDUS. Sir,---I have the honour to report, for the informationof the Major-General commanding in Affghanistan, that on he afternoon of the 17th, the rain having ceased, and with evalr expectation of favourable weather for commencing operatims, I issued the necessary orders to the detachment for attackhg, on the following morning, the fort of Peshoot ; and as it vas advisable that Captain Abbot should have his guns into bat tery, and the infantry be in the best position they could co copy before daybreak, we left camp at 4 a.m. As soon as Captain Abbot could distinguish the gate, he opened the brt tery against it, and after firing for nearly two hours, succeel ed in making a practicable breach on each side of the gat, when Lieutenant Pigou, with a pa r ty o f 15 men o f th e E - ur•- pean detachment, and 25 sepoys of the 37th, advanced, pusl ed down the gate, and proceeded to examine the inner one. The bugler with the party, observing them going forwari, sounded the advance (without order), which caused tie storming party and column to immediately move down U.- wards the breach ; but Lieutenant Pigou having aseertainel that the inner gateway was closed, ran back and directel them to get under - cover from the enemy's fire, which was easily accomplished among the numerous ravines close to tir fort. • Lieutenant Pigou then returned, and applied the powder to blow open the gate ; but as it had rained without intermis sion from about half an hour after commencing the attack, from the damp state it was in, acd the very inferior quality of it, being powder of this country, it unfortunately failed. As from the situation of the gate, and from the nature o' the ground surrounding the fort, it was found impracticable to bring a gun to bear on it, Lieutenant Pigou suggested that another trial should be made to blow it open, and a sufficient quantity of powder (nearly 1001 b) having been procured from Capt. Abbot, the attempt was made, but I regret to say it also failed. As it still continued to rain heavily, the troops had been exposed to a severe fire for several hours, Capt. Abbot having expended nearly the whole of his ammunition, and every possible means adopted towards gaining. an entrance into the fort having failed of success, I determined at half-past 11 a.m. on withdrawing the troops from before the fort until the weather cleared up, and certain measures could be taken to insure success. Our failure, however, I am happy to say, has proved as good as having gained possession of the fort, for a short time after we retired the enemy evacuated the fort of Peshoot, as well as that of Khatke, on the opposite bank of the river, both of which are now in our possession ; but I am sorry to say there is nothing in either fort but a small quantity of grain and about 10001 b. of powder. I lament to say our loss has been rather severe (a return of which is enclosed), which was mainly caused by want of means to reduce a place of so much strength. To Lieut. Pigou the highest praise is due for the gallant and meritorious manner in which he three times advanced to the inner gate, under a heavy fire from the enemy, and laid the powder to blow it open, the failure of which can only be attributed to the causes already explained. To the party who accompanied him, under the command of Ensign Pattule, the greatest credit is also due for the manner in which they kept in check the enemy's side. To Captain Abbot the highest praise is also due for the manner in which he has conducted the arduous duties de volving upon him, as well as the great service rendered by him yesterday. I also beg to bring to the notice of the Ma jor -General the conspicuous gallantry of Lieutenant Tytler, who accompanied Lieutenant Pigou on both occasions of bringing the powder, and throughout the day rendered me every assistance ; I am also highly indebted to him for the manner in which he has conducted every duty required of him as Assistant-Quartermaster-General since leaving Jul lalabad. I have much pleasure in bringing to the notice of the Major-General the great assistance I have on all occasions received from Lieutenant Pond, whom I appointed as de tachment staff. The highest praise is also due to every officer and man composing the detachment, who have cheerfully borne up against every privation and hardship; and the coolness, gal lantry, and ambition of each individual displayed yesterday morning elicits my warmest thanks and approbation. In noticing the names of the officers to whom I am in debted for assistance during this expedition, I have omitted to mention that of Lieutenant Dallas, of the commissariat department, who has on all occasions proved himself a most zealous officer in procuring supplies whenever there was any possibility of obtaining them, and also of rendering me every assistance during the attack yesterday.

SOUTH LANCASHIRE SPRING ASSIZES. CROWN COURT.Tms DAT. His Lonnsnir, with his accustomed punctuality, took his seat on the bench at nine o'clock. SENTENCES OF THE REMAINING CHARTISTS John Wilde, George Jackson, and William Aitkin were placed at the bar to receive sentence. His Lordship ad dressed them in nearly the same language which he used to the other prisoners. He lamented that parties of auch abili ties did not devote them to improving the condition of them selves and neighbours, in place of involving themselves in dangerous political disturbances, in the vain hope of altering or amending the institution of the country, or improving the general condition of society. In their own sphere they might do good to themselves and others. After a kindly ad monition, his Lordship sentenced each of them to 9 months imprisonment in Kirkdale gaol, and at the expiration of that period to find sureties to be of good behaviour and to keep the peace for three years, themselves in £2OO each, and two sureties in £3O each, and to be further imprisoned until such sureties should be found, In the sentence of Wilde (on a representation of his health, and that he had friends in that town), he had his place of imprisonment changed to Lancaster. MILITARY OUTRAGE AT WIGAN CONTINUED John Whittle.—l went to the Three Crowns on the night in question. I found Farnworth, Mr. Frazer, Mr. Plunkett, Mr. Cash, and two others whom I did not know.. Lamb, and Swarbrick, and Smith, and Heath, policemen, were also there. The soldiers came in,.and called out, " Where is he? where is he ?" Mr. M'lslally, a magistrate, was there. They knocked the table over, seized hold of Mr. Frazer, and dragged him across the room. Mr. Farnworth having hold of him, Farnworth was dragged by the soldiers to the ground. I did not hear Plunkett give orders to the soldiers to ab stain. Some of the soldiers afterwards returned. I had previously sent for a magistrate to read the riot act, and get them to disperse. I and Mr. M`Nally requested them to go, but they paid no attention. Mr. Plunkett spoke to them twice. He said, "Go to your barracks." I went to the barracks with Mr. Farnworth the first time, half an hour after Frazer was rescued. Farnworth pulled at the bell and was told that the commanding officer was not in, but would be in in half an hour. I went a second time with Farn worth and Rylance. Farnworth was told the commanding officer was not in. The door was open and Mr. Cash was on the lobby. He said he would only see the head man. Mr. Cash saw me at the Three Crowns, but I did not tell him that I was head of the police. Cross-examined.—On the first occasion it was half-past seven. It was about an hour after the rescue that we saw Mr. Cash. I ascertained afterwards that Mr. Cash was lame. Cross-examined by Mr. WILKINs.—The soldiers cried on entering—" Where is he ?" I did not know but Mr. Plun kett belonged to the Wigan detachment. 1 apprehended him at Haydock Lodge. On the night in question he appeared to be perfectly sober. I was present during the rescue. While I was in the room, I did not see Mr. Plunkett touch Farnworth at all. Re-examined.—When the soldiers entered, my attention was drawn towards them. John Maclead.—l am a clerk to Mr. Wallace, sheriff's officer. I was outside the Three Crowns that night. I saw a crowd of all sorts. I saw an officer going from the direc tion of the barracks towards the Three Crowns. It was, I have since learned, Mr. Cash, who sits there. There were a number of private soldiers with him. I saw them go into the inn. I did not see the officer go in, but I saw him close to the door. I heard some one say that the magistrates were coming to read the Riot Act. Some one of the soldiers said, " Hell to the magistrates ! They will not be magistrates much longer for us ;—we'll have him out." They came out in about five minutes with Frazer with him. He was in front, and the soldiers on each side of him. They said—" Who'll take him from us now ?" NOMINAL ROLL OF OFFICERS KILLED AND WOUNDED. Lieutenant dollinson, 37th Regiment, severely wounded ; Ensign Hicks, Ist European Regiment, severely wounded ; Jemadar Gunace Tewary, His Majesty's Schah Soojah's 3d Regiment, killed. J. R. POND, Lieutenant, Detachment Staff. J. ORCHARD, Lieutenant-Colonel, Commanding Detachment.' By order of the Right Hon. the Governor General of India in Council, T. M. MADDOCK, Secretary to Government of India. (From the Bengal Hurkaru, of Feb. 13.) The Governor-General held a levee this morning at ten o'clock, and a large assemblage of civil, military, medical, legal, clerical, and miscellaneous officers were honoured by receiving a bow from his lordship. There would be no diffi culty in saying who were there, but it would he hard, per hhps, to say who were not, for Calcutta had poured out all her " betterrnost people" into Government-house for the oc casion, and red coats, blue coats, black coats (legal,) black coats (ecclesiastical,) and other coats of all sorts, were ming led in the presence chamber thickly and confusedly, afford ing every one an excellent opportunity of seeing his friends without the trouble of calling on them. The commander in-chief, the members of council, the judges, the law com missioners, &c., as in duty bound, were all present; and his lordship, who appeared to be in very good health, bowed for an hour by the cathedral clock, and then withdrew from, as he had entered, the presence chamber to the tune of " God save the King." A company of the Cameronians, were in attendance, as a guard of honour, ordering arms on a Mirza pore carpet, and presenting them amongst the chandeliers. We observed, that some constables were present also, but did not learn that any pockets were picked. It gives us great pleasure to be the means of recording an act worthy of the Bombay column of the British army of the Indus, in which are displayed in one view, the valour, the generosity, the highmindedness, and the ennobling spirit, that animates the whole. All our readers are aware that the gallant corps which stormed the fortified city of Ghuzni be came possessed of a magnificent sword, that belonged to Prince Ityder Khan, the Governor. As a part of the general prize property, the weapon was ordered to be sold by auction, and accordingly, after due notice, it was brought to the ham mer on the arrival of the head quarters at Ferozepoor. The officers of the Bombay column purchased it, and then, by the agency of Major-General Wiltshire, commanding that column, they presented it to their commander-in-chief, as a most honourable tribute of their esteem, of their respect, and of their gratitude ;—of esteem for his valour of respect for him, who had once been their own special chief, and of gra titude to the general who had led them to victory, to con quest, and to triumph. In the letters which we subjoin are expressed in the frank simplicity of a soldier's style, those sentiments which do honour to all the parties. It is worthy of notice, that a similar proceeding on the part of certain office's in one of the colonies has lately produced the republication of a general order from the Horse-Guards, prohibitinr , all such demonstrations in future. It, however, gives us pleasure to state, that the testimonial was presented to Lord Keane before that general order was known in this country. COPIES OF THE CORRESPONDENCE. To His Excellency Lieutenant-General Sir John Keane, G.C.B. and G.C.H., Commander-in-Chief, Army of the In dus :—Sir,—The officers of the Bombay column of the army of the Indus who were present at the capture of Ghuznee, having obtained possession of the sword of the governor, Prince Hyder Khan, have requested me to solicit your Ex cellency's acceptance of it, in testimony of their personal re gard and esteem. I avail myself of this opportunity thus afforded me to ex press the great satisfaction and pride 1 feel, in having been selected by my brother officers as the channel of conveying to your Excellency their sentiments, in which I so deeply participate. I have the honour to be, Your Excellency's most obedient, T. WILLSHIRE, Major-General, commanding Bombay Column Army of the Indus. Sukhur, Feb. I, 1840. TO MAJOR-GENERAL WILLSHIRE, AND THE OFFICERS DE PUTED TO PRESENT SIR .1. KEANE THE GIICZNFE SWORD. Gentlemen,—l beg you will believe that I receive tlis sword as a testimonial, the most flattering and agreeable :o my soldier's pride that could have been presented to me. I shall ever value and hold it as a marked pledge of pur friendly feelings towards me, and of the confidence you have reposed in me as comrades whom I had the honour to had from Bombay to Cabool, through a country little known, and inhabited by uncivilised, but warlike people. Throughout this arduous service, I was often cheered by the zealous and spirited assistance I received from you, and those under your orders, and that hearty co-operation and g allant bearin g , I c unhesitatingly say, led to the accomplishmen t of our triwn pliant success, which' has gained for me the high honour n)w am well thought of by my superiors and felbw soldier, on me by my Sovereign, and assures me t hat ai a countrymen. . To such distinctions my ambition always aspired, but I could not have expected to have realised it i n Affghanistati, and should not, in all probability, but for your able and cor dial assistance. It will be painful to separate from such companions, but it will be a pleasing reflection in the evening of lily life, to feel that I have finished my military career as an humble servant of the hon. company, its commander-in-chief of the Bombay a rmy, and that the distinguished position I have been so for tunate to attain, is, as a Bombay General. With sentiments of friendly regard and esteem, I remain, J. KEANE. your su k na h o u s i. t , faithful General, General, DEATH OF SIR RICHARD PHILLIPS. —We have to an nounce the demise of th is venerable kni ght , which took place on Thursday last at Brig hton, after a lon g il lness , in his year. Sir Richard was collaterally related to the late Lord Milford, and served the office of sheriff of London in 1808_9, He was known in the literary world as the projector, editor, and proprietor of the Monthly Magazine, an the author of various books connected with an improved system of cduca tion.—Morning Herald. Cross-examined by Mr. MURPHY.—I could not see all that occurred, as there was a great crowd. I was not exa mined before the magistrates as to these facts. Ido not know how it is lam brought here as a witness. One of the police told me I should be wanted. Ido not know how he knew that I could give any information. I might have men tioned to somebody that I saw part of the row. I mentioned it next day in a public.house. A fortnight since I heard for the first time that I should be wanted. This was subsequent to my speaking to Rylance. James Rylance.—l am an attorney's clerk. On the night in question I was coming down, the •street about 7 o'clock. I saw a number of persons in the street. I went up. A man dressed as an officer's servant ran into the Three Crowns lobby. In about a minute he returned. Mr. Cash came out immediately after him, and went in a direction to the barracks. In a minute or so I saw a large number of sol diers in their undress uniform. Mr. Cash was with them. They ran into the Three Crowns lobby. I did not see Mr. Cash enter with them. He was about eight yards off. They shouted. (Here witness imitated an Irish howl.) (Great laughter.) One had a stick as thick as my wrist. They carne out with somebody crying, "We have him ! We have him !" I then saw Mr. Cash walking from the barracks towards the Market-place. He pdssed the-Three Crowns on the opposite side. I said to him, " Recollect, sir. I have marked You as the ringleader of this row." He did not reply. Cross-examined by Mr. MORPHY.—There appeared to be two sallies of soldiers from the barracks. John Hodgkinson.—l am a traveller to an ale and porter house. I saw the soldiers rush into the Three Crowns. I was in the house, and went out at the back door. I might be a little frightened. I saw Mr. Cash in the street. He was about ten or fifteen yards from the door of the inn. He was in the middle of the street. I saw Rylance two or three minutes afterwards. He asked me what was the row, and I said it was a row with the.soldiers. William Irving, a traveller, saw Cash with the soldiers, after the rescue. He did not interfere to quiet the soldiers. John Copeland.—Saw the soldiers going to the inn. I saw Mr. Cash soon after the soldiers came out. Rylance recalled.—Mr. Cash had a cap, I think a glazed one, and a coat buttoned up. He had a thick stick in his hand, with a knob the size of my fist. I think he had slip pers on. I cannot tell the precise kind of coat. It was gas light. . William Rider, a boy, saw the soldiers come, some run ning and some walking. I saw John Bergen, the little drummer, and Mr. Cash. Mr. Cash was seven or eight yards from the inn. I knew there would be a row. I ran away to lock up the shop, and then heard them shout, " We've got him ! we've got him !" Cross-examined by Mr. MURPHY.-Mr. Cash was walk ing. The soldiers might be going a little quicker than he. There were some soldiers behind him as well as before. This was the case for the prosecution. The case against the boy Ives not pressed. • Mr. MURPHY then addressed the jury on behalf of the defendant Cash. These two young men belonging to an 1 honourable profession, would, if their verdict were against them, not only be submitted to the civil consequences, but their prospects in life must be marred ; for they would also have a still more severe infliction to undergo—the loss of their commissions in the army. The question to be deter mined was, not whether Mr. Plunkett had represented him self as Mr. Frazer,—that was but indulging in a natural feeling to endeavour to save his friend from arrest,—but whether the defendants sanctioned the interference of the soldiers, and aided or abetted the rescue. He then proceeded to make ingenious deductions from the evidence. The cir cumstance of the officers retiring to a corner of the room was natural enough, the probability being that they were merely speaking or whispering in private as to the means of raising the money for their friend, so that he might be released. It was not to be assumed that they were concocting a rescue. Even Farnworth admitted that he thought it likely they were conversing on the raising of the money, He then dwelt on the insults given by the drunken landlord of the inn to Mr. Cash, who, peculiarly sensible from his rank and station, naturally lifted his stick, which any other man would have done under similar aggravation. After the rescue, too, Mr. Cash was seen in the street, walking up nobody knew where, and altogether unconnected with the soldiers. It was not won derful that the soldiers, hearing that a favourite officer was insulted and kept, as they thought, wrongfully in custody, should in their mistaken zeal and attachment towards him, make a rescue. This was perfectly consistent with the inno cence of Mr. Cash, who was not seen leading the soldiers on or in any way aiding or abetting. He was in undress at the time, had no command over the men, and took no active part whatever in the rescue. A strict analysis of the whole evi dence led to the inference that Mr. Cash was no participator in what was done by the soldiers. Mr. WlLkiNs then spoke in behalf Mr. Plunkett. The evidence went to show that many of the witnesses had shown a disposition to pervert and exaggerate the facts. He then alluded to the press, which had taken great pains also to create prejudices against his client. One of the papers in particular had given a garbled, false, and perverted account of this affair, and had the audacity to state that it was derived from a gentleman of high respectability in the legal profession. This he denied. Such an account must have been furnished by some scrub of a lawyer's clerk, who had nothing to do. and wrote the disgrace ful statement for a penny a line. Never was the press more dangerous than when thus employed in perverting the truth ; and he trusted they would dismiss from their minds all impressions injurious to his client that might have arisen from the perusal of those statements. He declared his absolute conviction that Mr. Plunkett never kicked Mrs. Burgoyne at all. (The learned counsel here made some re marks relative to the alleged kick, which called forth an in terruption from Mr. BRANDY, who said that his learned friend was mistaken as to the evidence of Heath on this point. The learned JUDGE referred to his notes, and it appeared that witness had not said that Mr. Plunkett merely lifted his leg to keep her off, as had been stated by the defendant's counsel—Mr. Wilkins; but that, in cross-examinatio n , he said " it might have been to keep her off; I think it was a kick." Farnworth was recalled, and •examined as to whether the kick was given by Mr. Plunkett while he lay on the table, and in reply to the Judge said, " Half an hour in tervened between the time when he lay on the table and the giving of the kick. Mr. Plunkett was standing up at the time, within less than' a yard of Mr. Burgoyne, and while he held the gas suspender in his hand. He could not have held the suspender in his hand, if he were lying on the table.") The learned counsel endea voured arduously to throw discredit upon the evidence of several of the witnesses. He concurred with his learned leorngi:g would i n friend, that the whispering was to he construed into a con sultation on raising the funds, to obtain the release of their friend. Mr. Plunkett was grossly insulted and goaded. He concluded by pronouncing a warm ' eulogium on the aristocracy of the land, to which his client belonged, and to whom the consequences of a conviction would indeed be dreadful. He belonged to one of the first familes in the kingdom ; his name had never yet been tarnished, and he (the learned counsel) trusted that the verdict of the jury would leave it still untarnished. The Learned JUDGE prefaced his summing up of the evi dence, by stating that the two counsel who had just ad dressedtnwoc aowoeittnrnn were altogether entitledai t complain h i en reprehensible , ut indiscretion.cau hg. had r he eiT t gal a ;hi btki The e tea‘e n nveratdunosu 1 terms, g, futhis leasi higher tsot efnegtui feelings, ioei certainunN l giarsd circumstancesu. , s s hpet t he h l auaar had akshdee t et h nto e ohu i wo r atreadi cegsoluhi done clients or n he net t : does ! extremely wrong. He had deceived the sheriff's officer, the result of which, had the deception been continued, might have been attended with serious consequence to that in dividual : it might have- saddled the officer with debt and costs. He (the learned Judge) did not, therefore, con sider this a case which entitled the parties to take the high ground which had been assumed. With regard to Farnworth irritating Mr. Plunkett or behaving uncivilly towards him, the opposite conduct was his own interest, and he neither knew Mr. Plunkett nor entertained any animosity towards him. He made these remarks in justice to thewitnesses, as so high a ground had been taken in the defence. His lordship then said, the jury would first have to consider whether the defendants had aided or abetted the soldiers ; and next, whe ther they had committed the assaults charged against them as having been committed on Farnworth and Mr. and Mrs. dßeunrugeo,yne. commentingl - lis l lordship dusphoinp it then h carefully e d . summed w i With hpr reference e e n v e i e tt the thee defenceofficers not set u p a ,t they firs t ( ordering theub e. jury) were n soldiers d ae seugnos a o : d v l . a away, u , Td a hg n ee andd ys of military affairs as either of thetentitearytdaoineki-fooopsinei,otat that fe w one mil e o s f tdso t oi l s : a e -- o b r order dis tant,—they a e n could a t c, —ii not' defenda nts, t n heeny fora beinghq a t l had moment therefore, ei denat diers to go.

Messrs. Cresswell, Alexander, Wightman and League appeared for the plaintiff; and for the defendant Sir W. Follett (who came down on a special retainer), Mr. Watson, and the Hon. J. S. Wortley. After a long consultation between the learned counsel, Sir WILLIAM FoLLETT rose to address the court and jury. In this case he had the honour to appear before them as counsel for the defendant, Mr. Robert Waring, of Ormskirk, in this county. If this cause had gone on, and the jury had been called upon to investigate the evidence, it would still have been his duty to address them first for defendant, be cause he should have admitted at once the title of the heir at law; for whom his learned friend Mr. Cresswell appeared, although he insisted the defendant had a right to the estate under a will devising that estate to Mr. Robert Waring. But he was happy now to say that an inquiry, which might have lasted some time, and have occupied the jury in that box some hours, was not likely, now, to be necessary ; and he had risen for the purpose of telling them what was the nature of the case in which they had succeeded in making this arrangement. The action was brought by Miss Segar, an elderly unmarried lady, now considerably advanced in years, for the purpose of recovering a small estate devised by her sister, the late Mrs. Molyneux, to the defendant Mr. Robert Waring. Mr. Robt. Waring and his father were attorneys at Ormskirk, and he believed he might say that Mr. Waring the father, and Mr. Robt. Waring the son, were persons of the highest character in the neighourhood, and that they both stood very high in the profession. The case was of far more importance to Mr. Robert Waring, from some supposed charge made against him because Mrs. Molyneux had cho sen to devise to him a considerable part of her property, than from the value of the property itself. The property was not very considerable. The estates in question were small; but Mr. Waring could not bear in a state where any thying like suspicion rested upon him with regard to the will of the testatrix. It was understood upon the part of the plaintiff, - Mrs. Segar, that she, being disappointed at not receiving so large a bequest under the will of her sister as she expected, thought tit to institute legal proceedings for the purpose of ascertaining whether or not, at the time the will was executed, Mrs. Molyneux was competent to execute it. Under the will, Mrs. Molyneux had devised her estates in this way : a small portion of land was left to Mrs. Segar ; another estate, which was the subject matter of this action, to the defendant, Mr. Robert Waring; another estate to a brother of his ; another to a third brother; the sum of £l,OOO to the Liverpool Blue Coat Hospital ; £2,000 to Miss Jane Segar; another legacy to Mr., Lax, a medical man who had attended her for a great number of years ; and another to Mr. Boyer, the agent and manager of the property of Lord Skci mersdale. The deceased lady had' a personal estate amount ing to between £4,000 and £5,000. The residue of ,the pro perty she left to her executors, Mr. Boyer and Mr. Robert `Waring ' not for their own advantage, but in trust to be dis tributed to the poor of the parish of Ormskirk. The part of the will quarrelled with by Mrs. Segar, was the part relating to Mr. Robt. Waring. With Mr. Waring's family Mrs. Molyneux was on terms of the greatest intimacy ; his father had managed her property for many years, and through his management it had considerably accumulated. The greater part of it, however, she had derived under the will of her late aunt, Mrs. Crane ; and as he (the learned counsel) had already stated, for a con siderable period she derived accumulations by savings made during the time it was under the management of Mr. Waring. The real propefty amounted to about £lO,OOO, and the per sonal property to about £5OOO. After the death of Mr. William Waring, Mrs. Molyneux was on terms of intimacy with Mr. Robert Waring, but with her own sister, Mrs. Segar, she was, unfortunately, not on terms. She had de vised no property which she received from her father's family ; the property which she had frorn,her father was left to her for life, and at her death it went to Mrs. Segar. So Mrs. Segar derived all the property of her father, and she had a considerable income herself. There was every reason to suppose that Mrs. Molyneux would have selected some person—indeed, if the case had gone on, he should have been able to prove that she , had repeatedly said it was not her in tention to leave the property to her sister, but toother persons; and she had left it in the way described. His learned friend (Mr. Cresswell) had been instructed by. Mrs. Waring to contest the competency and the capability of the testatrix to make this will ; but he (Sir Wm. Follett) believed there would now be no attempt to dispute the will upon that ground. He (Sir Wm. Follett) ought, however, to state, that Mr. Waring, feeling the position in which Mrs. Segar was placed, as being sister and heir-at-law to the deceased, held her justified in making inquiries into the validity of the will, and in insti tuting these proceedings. Mr. Waring was anxious that no expense should fall upon her, therefore, and had consented that the matter should be disposed of as if it had been in cnother court. If it had been litigated before the ecclesias tical courts, and in due course taken before the Privy Conn ail, the costs would come out of the estate, and not from the parties proceeding. Mr. Waring, however, wished that no expense should fall upon Mrs. Segar ; he consented that she should be at no expense at all. Of course he did not mean to call upon the parties interested in the charitable part of the property to take any part of the costs ; but as for that part of the property which had been given to the benefi cial interest of Mr. Waring and his family, he was satisfied the matter should be disposed of exactly as in the Ecclesias tical Courts. Mr. CRESSWELL said he appeared for the plaintiff. Un doubtedly he had . no desire to say one syllable reflecting at all upon the character of Mr. Waring. His learned friend had already stated some circumstances which had induced the plaintiff to institute this investigation; and there were one or two others which he (Mr. Cresswell) desired to state on behalf of that lady. Mrs. Segar and her sister un fortunately were not on familiar or intimate terms for some time before Mrs. Molyneux's death. Mrs. Molyneux was a person of great eccentricity ; she was very singular in some of her habits, and among others, she had a con stant desire to maintain a delusion in the minds of those about her, as to the parties who were ultimately to benefit by the disposal of her property. It was true she stated sometimes that she did not mean to leave her sister anything; but she had, quite as frequently, and in the presence of quite as respectable persons, stated that she did not mean Mr. Waring to have it. He (Mr. Cresswell) believed, from its being known that Mr. Waring was Mrs. Molyneux's confi dential adviser, that rumours had spread that he would be nefit by her property, though, as if for the puspose.of keeping people in the dark, she continually stated that Mr. Waring should never have a farthing. The lady died. The will was made out long before her deaths, and it was natural, under these circumstances, that rurcour should be. busy. We all knew that when a rumour was once started, and fa miliarly repeated, it acquired many additions and exag gerations, till a suspicion, entirely unfounded, attach ed where it ought not. Thus it was Mrs. Segar was lead to institute this inquiry. Persons came forward to give information of this or that, which was very much the crea tion of their own brain, so parties were frequently misled, and they fell into a false position. It was only after a scrupulous and accurate investigation of the evidence which was to have been brought before the jury in explanation and in proof of the case; when this mass of evidence was placed before him, being a grave case, on the one hand imputing to a respectable gentleman misconduct in the preparation of a will ; and on the other hand, the consideration that an elderly lady was not to be benefitted by the property of her deceased sister; he investigated it with great care, and ex ercising the best judgment he could upon it, and having formed his own opinion, he had requested Mrs. Segar to allow hercounsel tojudge for her. He would at once say he had no ground for establishing a charge ofanything like misconduct against Mr. Waring, and having that feeling he considered that to obtain a verdict would be out of the question. A communication therefore had been brought about between his learned friend and himself, and they had come to this conclusion, with which he hoped Mrs. Segar would be satis fied. A verdict therefore would now pass for the defendant. The JUDGE said it must be satisfactory to the jury, that their cause had concluded in a manner so creditable to the parties. Nothing could be. fairer than the statements made by the learned counsel, and the jury therefore could have no difficulty in giving a verdict for the defendant. A verdict was then returned for the defendant. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, THIS DAY In addition to the large arrivals, specified in our circular of the 7th instant, a liberal supply of Wheat has come to hand since, consisting of 2171 qrs. from Ireland, 2233 Coastwise, 7448 from the Continental ports of Europe, and 2265 qrs. from the American States, forming together 14117 qrs., with 8157 barrels of Flour from Baltimore and Virginia. Of Barley and other Grain, the supply fresh in for to-day is only moderate, and of Irish Flour and Oatmeal trivial. Influenced by the favourable state of the weather, the probability of a lower duty on Wheat, and the prospect of further imports from abroad, the millers and dealers have remained very inactive, and speculative buyers so much more on the reserve than heretofore, that in any branch of the corn trade, from the close of Tuesday's market up to this date, we have had little appearance of business, but without inducing holders to press sales below the reduced terms last noted. By the average return received this morning, the anticipated decline in duties on Wheat and Flour is confirmed, the for mer being 16s. Bd. per quarter, and the latter 10s. Old. per barrel, for the ensuing week, remaining upon all other foreign produce unvaried. At our Corn Exchange tq-day the Wheat trade was gene rally depressed about 2d. to 3d. per 70 lbs. from the current prices of Tuesday, and although good and fair descriptions were rather more saleable, no extensive progress could be made at this abatement. English and Irish Flour continued nearly without inquiry ; and the transactions in foreign were upon a moderate scale merely to consumers, United States in bond obtaining 28s. 6d., and duty paid 395. to 40s. per barrel. Malting Barley, in consequence of the advanced period of the season, was 2s. per quarter cheaper, and some parcels of Foreign were forced off for grinding at a similar decline. —Malt and Peas ruled dull, at the late prices.—Beans„upon a limited supply, were in tolerable request, at a slight im provement in value. Oats, at a reduction of id. to Id. per 45 lbs. from our last quotations, appeared to meet rather more attention, but by no means a lively demand. Oatmeal, although neglected, continued to be held on the terms of this day se'nnight. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. FRIDAY, APRIL 10.—Wind S.S.E.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, APRIL 8. The sales on Thursday last were 4000 bags ; Friday 5000 ; Satin - day 3000 ; Monday 3000 ; Tuesday 3000 ; and to-day 3500. There has been a fair amount of business transacted since last week, without any material alteration in, prices; except in the lower qualities of American, which may be obtained somewhat cheaper. Brazils are ,d per lb higher. East India and Egyptian remain finn. The accounts received per Great Western had the effect of softening the tone of the market in a slight degree. There appears an excess of 330,000 bales, over last year's exportation, from the United States, and about the same difference in the receipts into the ports. The import of the week amounts to 25,107 bags. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET; APRIL 9. 'I he speculating "waiters upon Providence" in our Butter market are sadly nonpins'd by the beautifully gro wing weather that the country is at present favored with. Nobody is buying except for the satisfaction of immediate wants ;—and the limited demand is confined to the finest and freshest parcels of Butter, of which there is very little in town. There is, however, an abundance of stale lots. and them we should say, parties would be more than happy to finish off, at a reduction in price of lOs per cwt. New Grass Butter may bu looked for by the next arrivals from the South of Ireland, and will no doubt meet a ready sale, in the hands of legitimate importers. There have occurred a few sales of pickled Butter since our last at 94s to 955. The market is a little more plentifully supplied with Pork, and that article may be bought at a cheaper rate. Beef continues high and in few hands. Bacon has been more run upon latterly in. consequence of the moderate price it has borne in comparison with Butter. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, APRIL 7. The imports of Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal, from Ireland and Coastways, and of Wheat and Barley from the continent of Europe, have been rather considerable since last Tuesday, and have, with preceding supplies, exceeded our limited demand, so that last quoted prices have been barely obtainable for almost every article in the Corn trade here, and in all our surrounding Corn markets. The only alteration in the duties on Grain from foreign ports since Friday last is a decrease of is 6d per quarter on Barley, In dian Corn, and Buck Wheat : it is very likely that on Friday next the duty on Wheat will be reduced to 16s 8d per quarter, and on Flour to lOs 04d per barrel. We have again to notice the sale to speculators of several parcels of American Flour in bond here, and on the passage, at 2gs to 29s 6d per barrel ;-3tis has been generally demanded and paid on small quantities for export. Oats in bond continue to go off very slowly, for export, at our quotations; and bonded Wheat finds sale as free, in proportion to the duty. The weather continues favourable for agricultural operations, but rather too cold and dry ; warm rain is now much wanted. It rained a little last night, and there is every appearance of a change in the weather. . . . . The supplies to this day's market have been very much increased by arrivals yesterday of Wheat and Barley poastways, and. from foreign ports ; and we have experienced very dull sales at a decline which we can hardly regularly quote, nominally is to Is per quar ter for every article in the Corn trade, except the finest qualities of Wheat, and for foreign Barley as to 4s per quarter lower. Flour in bond 295, free 41s per barrel Oatmeal 33s 6d per 2401b5. The new Irish Wheat offered by auction this day was withdrawn for want of bidders. WIIKAT, per ;labs s. d. s. d.
