The Lard Carl Baron now delivered the judgment of the

The prisoner had sworn to • fact, and more than one witness
hed proved that en other occasions the prisoner had made

with whet he had sworn, end in respect of which he bad
been indicted for perjury. The arguments hot preceded In
the assumption that a man could not be convicted of perjury

On the Ist of April a very strong force, wider
Tunis Togee, a relative of the Nana, attempted to
relieve Jhansi.

Without abandoning the investment, Sir H. Rose
attacked the relieving army, and gained a glorious
victory, taking 18 guns, several elephants, and all
the camp equipage.

On the 4th of April, after a severe struggle, in
which our loss was severe, the town was stormed
and taken, and on the 6th of April the fort was occu-
pied. The Rance fled towards Jaloun with a few
attendants, but the cavalry ran in hot pursuit.

EXECUTIONS IN CHINA.

Mr. B. FITZGERALD maid that his attention had been
called to the Mammal in question. He had, however, no
authoritative information on the point. The statement itself
wee suNcieutly revolting to answer the hon. member's

showing Henry Charleewortli, penknife cutler. On Satur-
day afternoon, Charksworth, with two companions, named
Hardy and Revill, 18 end 191sitre of cgs, went in the sub-
urbs of the town for a nimble. They took the footromi,
through Less wood, toward. the village of Norton. When
they bad got 150 yards into the wood they at down on the
side of the footpath. Revill rhea pointed out a bird's
neat 20 yards off. Chariesworth want to take the
net, and the others remained seated. As soca as
j Charlesworth reached the tree and wee about climb
it, hie oompsaioas saw the prisoner emerge from a bualt
where he had been hid. He had a gun in his hand, and •
dog sooompaylag him. They called out, tt ash, Harry,

pursued a few yards, but was then called beck. Hearing
the keeper call hie dog, Cbarksworth turned round, and

to Norton, and saw the keeper emerging from the
wood at a conaiderable distance, and he afterwards fur-
nished Ctutzlesworth with his name. Charletworth was
attended by Mr. Waterhouse, surgeon, who extracted two
of the shots from his arm, and tried to cut others out ; but
they had penetrated so fat, and the flesh bad closed over
them, that he could not ascertain their positios.—Mr.
Waterhouse stated that he found 28 shot wounds. batman

Barn would prevent him working for some time. Is

FRANCE.

(MOM 001 OWN 0011111POWDENT.)
PARIS, TUIIIOII EO/11301.
News of some importance has been received to-day
from Switzerland regarding the conflict between
the Council of State of Geneva and the Federal
Council on the vexed question of the arbitrary
expulsion of foreigners. The Federal Commis-
donors arrived at Geneva on October 14,
and had an audience of the Council of State the
next day. The Council of State repeated to them
the answer which it had already given in writing to
the Federal Council by a despatch dated October 1.
The substance of this answer was that the Council
of State of Geneva, having felt compelled to appeal
to the Chambers against the interpretation put upon
Article 67 of the Constitution by the Federal Council,
and the Chambers not having yet pronounced
their opinion, they had a right to assert that the
Federal Council had mistaken the construction
of that article, when it ordered the expulsion
from Geneva of certain individuals not being
political refugees, against whom no'facta for com-
promising nature were alleged, unless it was that
they belonged to an Italian benefit society.
These individuals had resided at Geneva
for the last ten or fifteen years with the
permission of the cantonal government, and to expel
them now would in the eyes of the Geneva Council
of State be an arbitrary and unconstitutional act.
It therefore refused to lend any assistance
to the Federal Commissioners in any steps
they might think fit to take for the ex-
pulaion of the individuals in question ; it would
not prevent the Commissioners from acting
as they pleased, but desired to leave to them the
responsibility of their acts. This resolution of the
General Council places the Federal Commissioners in a
very difficult position. They have no police under their
orders, and are in fact at present quite powerless.
They might, indeed, summon the federal troops
to their aid, but it is not thought that
they will take
,so serious a step, particu-
lary as a grave legal question is involved.
The affair will doubtless come before the Chambers
in January, and if they should decide in favour of
the Federal Council they must at the same time sty
in what way their resolution is to be carried into
effect.

The Bourse waa again very heavy at the openings
and the Rente for account was down to 72fr. 90c.
There was afterwards a smart rally, and it closed
at yesterday's price, 73fr. 10c. For cash there was
a fall of 10c., the last quotation being 72f-. 90c.
Mobilier fell bfr. Railways left off, on the whole, a
trifle better.

ther constable looking after the male defendant. I joined
him and we went and examined the door and found the mark
removed. Defendant come beck end opened the door with a
key. I asked what he wanted, and he said he was going
after some things. I said it was • curious time to look after
things, and he said, " My wife s corning, she'll talk to you."
The female then mad* her appearance, and the husband
having told her that the police would not let him go in, she
" Won't he, the —, and I help to keep him," and

amaulted me by punching me in the ribs, and rescued his wife.
He was sober but she could not stand for drink.

been in the habit of watching. I entered the house, and
saw the wale defendant lying on the floor in the parlour.
He said he lived there, when, upon lay remarking that It
was false, he observed, " I did live here." He then went
out. He told me he was working there. I then said, les
• strange time for people to come to work," when, saying he
would fetch his wite,- ha went away, and what his brother
constable had proved took place.
The female said that her husband was at work there. She
was • washerwoman, and bed put some of her linen

Liquor,

THE REINFORCEMENTS FOR INDIA.

(BY KLICTZIO TILIORAPN.)
(11011 Ot I OWN OORIZIMPONDINT.)
SOUTHAMPTON, WIDNZIIDAY.

The Indus has arrived with the heavy portion of
the India and China mails. She left Alexandria on
the 23rd of December; Malta, on the 27th; and
Gibraltar on the Ist inst.

Amongst her cargo is specie to the value of nearly
46,0007. sterling.
She brings intelligence that her Majesty's ship
Pylades arrived at Point de Gallo on the 2nd of
December.

On the 13th of December the Calcutta mail
steamer Alma passed the steam-packet Bengal, with
a portion of the 69th Regiment on board, bound
for Calcutta. All well. The troops were in
high spirits, and requested to be reported in
England.
The screw steam sloop Cordelia had arrived at the
Kooria Mooria Islands, and had proceeded to
Bombay to refit.
Her Majesty's ships Royal Albert, Princess
Royal, Conqueror, Centurion, Desperate, Hibernia,
Vigilant, Wanderer, Tartarus, Harpy, Ariel, Me-
dina, Vulture, and Coquette, were at Malta, all
ready for sailing; the officers and crews were in
good health.
The Indus has brought home 80 passengers,
amongst whom are Lieutenant Streatfield, of the
24th Regiment (he walks on crutches, having lost a
leg in fighting the mutinous Sepoya at Jhelum) ;
also Mr. and Mrs. Uniacke, from Indere, who had
both to rids a fearful speed for an immense distance
to save their lives ; they lost all their
property. The passengers state that news from
India may be expected in England hourly, by
electric telegraph, rid Malta and Marseilles. The
Bombay passengers state that it is still feared that
the mutiny will spread to that presidency.
London, England, 1858-01-06

INDIA.

Yesterday afternoon a variety of rumours were
circulated respecting adverse intelligence said to
have arrived from India. In the extremely sensitive
state in which the news from Lucknow received by
the lut mail had left the public mind these reports
produced considerable impression, and a morning
contemporary went so far as to publish the follow-
ing announcement in an evening edition:

"It is with deep regret that we hear from a
source on which reliance may be placed that govern-
ment have received intelligence that Sir Colin Camp-
bell has retired upon Cawnpore, leaving Lucknow
in the hands of the rebels. Thus it will be seen that
all the forebodings conveyed by the last mail from
India have been too painfully realised."

We understand that at the time this announce-
ment was made it was not true that such intelligence
had reached the Government. With reference to
Sir Colin Campbell's probable movements, we beg
to call attention to the last telegraphic message
received from him, as follows:

CAMP, Luciotow, Nov. 20, 6 p.ak.
The garrison of Lucknow has been removed, and I
am now engaged in conveying the women and
wounded to the rear. I propose to snore the whole
fore. to an open position outsids the town, without
further loss of life.

ROYAL SVR3EY GARDENS.

A concert was given Let night by the Royal
Barmy Gardens Choral Society. under the direction of Mr.
Land, by whom that society was founded. It was a genuine
English cunt, both in mum to the anise and the per-
! fermen. The Ant part was selected entirely from the wmts
of Bishop; the wood part was mieoelbamons. In the Ant
part, among other things, we bad the novel sereaade,
"Keep, gentle Lady;' the hunting glee, " What shall he
have that Eili'd the Deer," the solo parts sung by
M. Hanby, Lackey, Howe, and Debby, with
the hoes accompaniments Mend by Mena. C. Harper and
Mules ; the glee sad chorea, " The wine whistle cold,"
the solo parts by Meters. Hanby, Howe, an Lawler; the
Huang glee, " Poneters, sound the cheerful horn" (with
the hen acconmessiments), the solos by Kens. Lester,
Lackey, Howe; end Goolsby ; the glee end cheers, Blynliam
Van Duck ;" and the trio and chorus " The though and
mow to not ere gone," the solos by Kaden Inderedorff,
Mrs. Lackey, end Mr. Lawler. There were else several
eke—. Bid me dbooures," sung by Madome Radon-
dart ; " Bstaine, deer maid," sang by Mr. Lockey ; "'TL
when to sleep," sung by Mr Lawler ; and the
duet, "As it fell upon • day," sung by Mrs.
Lackey and Kiss Banks. All thaw piteous wen admi-
rably performed both by the solo niers an the thorns,
'which wee oneurous, powerful, and thoroughly Simigibeed
by the able director. They were wanly espleaded, end
.aseleaPetthilffignia. And their reception was well de-
served, for their effect wee delightful. Bishop's dear, simple,
natural, and expremive man, when so performed, will never
lose its chenning freshness. Of all our English composers
Jam the days of Purcell, be is (not even excepting Arne) the
mast thereeghly national, and " his memory will be green"
through many generations of his countrymen.
The aboallansous portion of the concert included several
very plesslng things; particularly Peareall's popular mad-
rigal, "G who will o'ar the Downs, so free;" Laud's pretty
mug, Whoa sorrow elespeth," stag by Mrs. Lackey; and
the tense old madrigal, "Down in a flowery vale."
The greet Moab Hall wee full in every pert, • thing we
IMO gin to ass, for this was • concert of • kind which de-
serves every encouragement; an entertainment consisting of
excellent sad well performed music, belonging to our own
national school, and congenial to oar own national taste when
not perverted by fashion into a preference (affected rather
than real) of foreign compositiona mach inferior in intrinsic
merit.
