HANOVEIt.

The Hanoverian Chambers were prorogued on the
29th ult. In its sitting of the previous day the
second chamber had passed a resolution calling upon

chamber, which had just adopted it as it was pro-
rogued. The government has announced that the
legislature will not be again convoked before the
term fixed by the constitution as the extreme limit
of the vacation, has expired.

again sew her she..
A certificate was handed to the magistrate from Mr. Be%
house surgeon of the London Hospital, which stated that
the wounded woman was suffering from a severe laceration
el the scalp, together with numerous contusions about the
bead and fare, which prec.uded the possibility of her at-
tendance to give evidence in support of the charge.
On being asked it he wished to say anything, the pri-
mer sullenly answered in the negative, and was re-
manded.

MARLBOROUGH. STREET.
John Scoff, described as a gentleman, of Ifenford-street,
Mayfair, was brought before Mr. Hardwick, charged with
having violently assaulted the Rev. James Murray, of No.
89, Berner* street.
Mr. Murray said he was passing through Park-lane
about 10 o'clock the previous evening, when he met the de-
fendant, who was an entire stranger, and who in
lifted a stick which he carried, and, without saying a worn,
dealt him a violent blow acmes the MONO.
The stick was produced. It was an sgate.headed walk-
ing cane, and appeared to have been fractured by the force
of the blow which was given with the thick end.
Georg., Raymond, of No. 14, Chapel-street, was pass-
ing at the time, and saw the defendant strike the complain-
ant s severe blow across the face with his stick. Just be-
fore thii the defendant had struck a boy with the stick as
be passed.
Mr. Scott'. defence was, that he was a gentleman, that
he had been dining out, and had taken too much wine.
Mr. Hardwick remarked if taking too much wine had
the effect of rendering the defendant incapable of mastering
his actions, tho proper course was to abstain front dining
out altogether.
Mr. Scott—Did not mean to commit any assault. He was
sorry for what had occurred, and would take ears it should
not occur again.
Mr. Murray had no wish to press the case with severity
now that the defendant had expressed contrition.
Mr. Hardwick would inflict the full tine of 51. or two
months' impri outs. nt, in order to teach the defendant to
become guarded in his conduct for the future.
The line was paid.

M. JULLIEN'S CONCERTS.

These concerts are attended with their usual use.
eels. Notwithstanding the state of the weather, the
Maestro's varied aad attractive programmes draw crowded
houses every evening. Last night we were induced by
several tempting announcements to visit the theatre, and
were gratified by some admirable performances. Bee-
thoven's overture to " Fidelio " (the one of the four com-
posed for this opera, which has been adopted in its perform-
.ance) was executed with a spirit, precision, and effect,
which the orchestra of the Royal Italian Opera could
not have surpassed. A quadrille, on an extended
scale, from Jullien's Opera "Pietro it Grande," was a per-
fect specimen of this class of compmition, combining the
utmost brilliancy with fiae melody and most skilful arrange-
ment. The grand selection from the same opera, which
the composer has now brought forward, is extremely felici-
tous ; some of the vocal pieces are admirably played by
Messrs. Buret, Baumann, and Koenig on their respective
instruments, and are intermixed with some of the principal
choruses. A most interesting novelty in last night's pro-
gramme was a Funeral March written by the young lady
who under the name of "Angelina" his recently attracted
so much notice in the musical world by her beautiful
vocal compositions. This funeral march does honour to
her talenu, and shows not only original genius, but great
knowledge of orchestral effect. A low roll of the muffled
drums forms an impressive introduction to a solemn and
expressive melody in C minor, finely suited to the plaintive
tones of the oboe : this is followed by a strain in the relative
major, played in unison by the violoncellos, and leading
back to the minor, which coucludes the piece. The instru-
mentation is at once rich and delicate, and the effect of the
whole grave and pathetic. A solo, " The Adieu," eon-
by Roch-Albert (Jullien himself), and played by
rceetg on the cornet-a•piston,s and an oboe solo, composed
and exquisitely played by /11. Lavigne, wore among the
most pleasing performances of the evening.

Desire, Mutes 31.
Mr. Butt, Q.C., is now definitively in the tit Id for
Yunglml. He has published his address, and on
Mond ty lust made a long statement of his principles,
at a meeting of his friends and supporters in that
borough. He is for giving Ireland a "fair share"
of the public expenditure; he thinks this country has
a just claim to the total remission of the advances
made to it during the fame; would look to industrial
employment as a substitute, to a great extent, for
the poor laws; and, finally, would advocate a
moderate protection" for Irish interests, whether
manufacturing• commercial, or agricultural.
A new candidate, Mr. J. Vandeleur Stewart, a
cousin of the Marquis of Londonderry, has addressed
the electors of Down on high tory and landlord prin-
ciples. He declares himself prepared to give •
■ steady and unflinching support to Lord Derby's
government," and deprecates - any attempt to legis-
late on tenant right."
Mr. John Milintock has addressed the (lectors of
Louth. He says:
Undesirous. as I as, to nvimpose a tax upon the food of
tk• people, yet any legislative proposal for relieving tile land
et those burdens which undul)• oppress it shall receive my
strenuous support; and I shall readily atirovate such mu-
mmy u will procure a settlement of the rt lations between
laadlord and tenant, on the fair and equitable basis of cos-
peoution to improving tenants.
'The electors of New Itoss have finally pledged
thetnselves to support Mr. Charles Gavan Duffy, who
has been carrying on a successful canvass in the
borough during the last few days.

CATTLE, ific.—Coxotrxrun, April 3.—The supply of
Sheep was good, but the trade was by no means brisk ;
sales being difficult at last week's rates, the transactions
were consequently limited. Fat Beasts were in good suppls,
but hung on hand until nearly the close, when most of
them were sold at rather declining prices, vis., about 2d.
per stone. Owing to the continued night frosts having an
injurious effect upon the feed, fresh and lean stock were
extremely difficult to dispose of, although offered at consi-
derably reduced prices. Very few cart Horses at market,

relations between Austria and the Porte, which have
been becoming cooler ever since the refugee ques-
tion, have arrived at a point which might give cause
to fear an actual rupture if all did not know that
Austria cannot feel herself in a position to com-
mence a now war, even against Turkey.

INDIA.

(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)

We have received our usual telegraphic despatch
from Trieste. The Adria had arrived there on the
28th inst.; her dates from Bombay are to the 3rd
of April.
The Burmese expedition, under General Godwin,
had set sail, and was expected to arrive at Moul-
main on the 4th of the present month. There was
a considerable naval force there, and Admiral Austin
was on his way with a vessel of war and another
steamboat. The 38th Bengal N. I. had refused to
embark for Burmah. The sth Madras LI. had
been substituted.

A second expedition of 2,500 men under Sir C.
Campbell marched against the mountain Crubcs to
the north of Peehawa, on the 11th of March. On
the 20th they repulsed an attack made upon them
by the enemy, after a conflict of three hours. Sir
Colin had demanded additional forces.

graph says From the same date the organisation
of the First Chamber will be regulated by royal
ordinance.'"

THE KAFFIR WAR.

heavy firing distinctly heard nearly all day in tbo direction
of the Amatolu, and urticularly cannonade. Col. Michel
had a brush with the Hottentots in the mountains a few
days back. He has destroyed their huts, and, from what I
can learn, drove them from their position, but with what
loss on the enemy's side I cannot learn. Letters from Fort
White state, there is no inclination on the part of the
Kafiri to stop tltbtiog. His Excellency is preparing to
take the field ; the troops are to be here in a few days—
I suppose to recruit a littlo before the grand move on
the Bth.
--

Fax. 26.—The Kaffir' have shown a slight resistance to
the patrol under Major Kyle, 46th Regiment. They are
continually calling from the bills to tell Sir harry
that they are ready, and that he must not conceal himself
Tst King William's own, butcome out to the fight. Major
Kyle's patrol has destroyed immense crops, and is doing
ri6t rood service.
Tue WATZKIELOOF.—Ifacomo still retains his hold of
Watt&loot; entrenched in that formidable fortress, gar-
risoned by his clan and by nearly 2,500 rebel Hottentots
and hostile Tambookies. t is rumoured that this chief
has made a descent upon the Baviaan's River district,
and ell;.•cted a very considerable foray of cattle. We bavo
no authentic information on this bead, but the report hears
the impress of probability, and so long as that din of rob-
bers remains uncleared, the neighbouring Canters must
continue in a state of pitiful and injurious appri hension.
The expulsion of this horde must be effected before any
further armistice is talked of. To say such is imooseible is
to underrate the ability of British (Akers and the valour
of Brisish troops, and tantamount to Paying that both ore
less skilful in operating against an enemy in Southern
Africa than what their French rivals base been in the
north. On the evening of the 11th instant, Mr. Sylserff's
premises at Glen Yair were burned down, and the follow-
ing evening those of Mr. Piet Marais cod Marthinus Pre-
to:nu.

ARRIVAL OF THE ATLANTIC.

Yesterday afternoon, at two o'clock, the United
States Mail Steamship Atlantic, Captain West,
arrived in the Mersey from New York, which port
she left on the 17th instant at noon, bringing 125
passengers, but only about 1,000 dots. in specter on
freight.
At seven o'clock on the evening of the day the
Atlantic left New York she passed the mail steamer
Arctic going in.
The Royal Mail Steamship America had been
detained a considerable time outside Halifax har-
bour on the 14th, owing to the thick blustering
weather then prevailing. The America arrived off
the harbour at six o'clock in the morning. She
sailed for Boston the following morning at 5 o'clock,
and arrived on the afternoon of Friday, the 16th.
The movements in favour of the different presi-
dential candidates arc exciting some interest. The
last advices from Washington state that there is
some talk of Fillmore's openly declining to be put in
nomination, and expressing his preference for Mr.
Webster.

Kossuth has returned to Washington. Ho has
remained quite retired since his arrival, but numbers
of senators and representatives have called upon him.
The following letter from Henry Clay respecting
Kossuth is going the rounds of the American papers:
I have never distinctly understood what M. Kossuth said
of me at Louisville. I certainly had given him no cause
for offence. The interview between him and me cannot be
regarded as private, as it certainly was not a confidential
one. It was attended by three members of Congress, and
the attorney of the United States for this district, and would
have been by others, but for my feeble state of health.
What I said in the interview with Kossuth was variously
and sometimes contradictorily represented in the news-
papers. tinder these circumstances, Mr. Ewing, one of
the members in attendance, prepared a statement which
has been published, and the substantial accuracy of which
has been verified by another attending member. Over my
own sentiments and language I thought I had entire con-
trol, just as Oeneral Cass thought proper to state to the
Senate of the United States what he had said to Kossuth at
their first interview. Mr. Ewing, in his staten eat, treated
M. Kossuth with perfect respect, and said nothing to com-
promise him in the slightest degree. Such, my dear sir,
was the origin, and such the motives, of the publication
alluded to.
The New Orleans Picayune has received advices
from Havana to the 7th inst. A terrible fight oc-
curred near that place a few days previous between
some American and English sailors; the military
were called upon to interfere, but before order could
be restored, several persons were killed.

501." To this Megge replied, " He'll neither have the
pardon nor the 501., for he's the man that killed her." It
wee, however shown that the witness who spoke to this
conversation hod been in prison for a trifling offence. This
witness bad been much maltreated since he had given evi-
dence. Ills windows had been broken in, and ho had been
obliged to leave the neighbourhood. Indeed, a system of
terrorism appeared to have prevailed—the witnesses spoke
for the most part as ilia great fear of the prisoners, whose
attempts at hal:olden= obliged his lordship more than
once to interfere, and to order the gaoler to see that they
kept their places. '(ho court was occupied for eleven hours
in hearing the case for the crown, and the jury were then
locked up.

The prisoners were placed at the bar at nine o'clock, and
Mr. Edwards proceeded to address the jury on their behalf,
contending that the evidence was not such as would justify
them in liangiag a dog. He contended that the con•
duct of all the prisoners was directly opposed to
the idea that they were the guilty parties. Se-
veral witnesses were then called to account for
the prisoners on the day of the murder, and their
testimony was to the effect that they were in Frame at the
time when other witnesses had deposed to their being on
the Woodlands road. Another witness stated that on the
evening on which the convention in the lane between
Maggs and another was spoken to, Maggs lomat home; and
a respectable baker and a young woman stated they saw
Sparrow's hands between the murder and the fair, and did
not observe any wound en them.
Mr. Moody having replied, the judge summed up, and
the jury returned a verdict of Not Gritty.

THII BANKRUPT Laws.
Mr. Clarkson made an application to the court in refer-
ence to a case in which a prosecution had been directed by
Mr. Commissioner Holroyd against a bankrupt under the
recent statute, for having fraudulently obtained goods three
months before his bankru-tey. He said that since the
learned Commissioner had directed this step to be taken
come similar eases had been tried in this court, and, upon
the ruling of the learned judges who tried them as to the
law upon the subject, Mr. Commissioner Holroyd had re-
viewed his former decision, and had come to the conclusion
that it would not be advisable to proceed with the prosecu-
tion under the statute, but had dealt with the party under
the Bankrupt Law in his own court ; and, under these cir-
cumstances he had to apply to the court to order the recog-
nisances of the witnesses who were bound over to prosecute
to be discharged.
The Court granted the application.

NAVAL

PORTSMOUTII, APRIL 7.—The following requisition
has this day been presented to the mayor of this borough
in reference to the harrowing loss of her Majesty'. steamer
Birkenhead We, the undersigned members of the town
council of Portsmouth, request you will be pleased to con-
vene an early special meeting of the council for the purpose
of taking into consideration the best means to be adopted
for raising funds in aid of the sufferers by the melancholy
lose of her Majesty's steamer Birkenhead, and to take
such steps thereon as may be deemed advisable."
The Birkenhead belonged to this port, and her
I crew were mostly inhabitants with families and other rela-
tives here. In consequence a deep gloom has been thrown
over the borough, and a universal desire to contribute to
the alleviation of those dependent on the victims of this
sad disaster is prevalent. The Birkenhead was one of the
most successful steam troop ships in the navy, and whilst
employed in this duty for some years past, has hardly met
with a single miscarriage. It was from this port she sailed
on the voyage that has terminated so tragically, and on her
departure it was the general belief and expectation that
she would make the best passage to and from the Cape ever
made.
