DECEMBER D.
Our Intelligence yesterda't from Prose states, that a party cats.
slating of four battalions of Madras Sepoys, undet Col. M•Ditugsl.,
was despa•cbecl to dislodge a body of the enemy, supposed to
3.000 strong, and who had taken a position about 20 miles from
them. After reaching the neighbourhood of this position, the ad.
trance of the pony came suddenly on a strong stockade, and were
attneked by 1r.,000 of the enemy. Lieut.-Colonel .31bDougi1 was
killed by the first shnt, also Lieut. Rankin. The troops being dia.
persed, were pursued by some Cawley hone of the enemy, when the
31ith regiment of Na.ive Infantry formed a square, and repelled the
cavalry, and prevented a still Kreuter loss than was unfortunately
sustained-4 officers killed, 10 wounded. six dangerously so; 51
rank and file kilted, 12.0 wounded, 40 misting.
We noticed, some time ago, that the Burmese had been given to
understand that on firing the tint gun. Rita* the armistice cloned,
rept would be detached front the empire of Ara. We now learn
that this has beets canted an far into effect proclamations have beers
issued. snaring the Peguese of the protection of the British wino
their old enemies and conquerors.

LArtong A• 11) ArIifIANISTAY.—IIy the latest umbras from
Punjab, it appears that Rajah ltunjeet Singh was encamped as
Rotas, a place 107 fI.iIPS N. NAV. of the city of Lahore, at the
nd of October, anti making preparations for constructing a bridge,
of brats across the Indus. The Afghan Chief, Tar Mahommud
Khan, had lef Cabul and halted at Itagrammee, in the vicinity of
that city, on his way to Peshawur. Dust Mahommil Khan bad
prt.ceeded on an expedition to the Hills, and Suoltan Mahommud
Khan rcruain'd in authority at Cahol.
The nes s from Her. t, received via Amtitair, is of rather to in.
tereqing description.
It appears that the Persian Prince who governs pert of Khoras.
ien had arrived from Meshed with • large army at Toorbut, a
place belonging to Malioromitd Khan, tl:e son of Eita Khan, dhow
territory is situated in the hilly country between Meshed end Herat,
Mahommud Khan applied for asskiance to the booranhee Prince,
Kamm', who sent sothtraSalov Khan and Peer. Mahommud Khsn,

to make an attack by night on the Persian army. The other party.
however, having heard of the design. and the preparations that
were making against them, Were the first to suet*. The Doman.
nets summit ed a defeat. many prisoners were taken, end the Sirdors
were obliged to retire to Herat, leaving Toorhut in possession of
the Persians, who seized and put to death its Chief.
In the mean time, M Annunutl litiheem Khan, the Ruler of
Cforgunj, according to tit? Prince Kainran's request, advanced to
his aid with 31,04tu men, but the latter taking alarm at his ap.
protch, shut the gates of Ilerat. Ruheem Khan encamped outside
the walls, and sent a messenger to the Prince, saying, " You first
asked my assistanze, and now that I am come, y 0.4 sheaf your gates
—what is the meaning of !inch change ? Pay me the nalbundee
(tribute exacted in return for scrvite), and allow me to depart."
Kanran replied that he had nothing to give. Rulteem Khan then
plundered the villages rnund Herat, carried many of the inbabid
tants info captivity, and returned to Oorgunj.
The Persian Prince afierwards surrounded Herat, end began to
plunder the adjacent country. Such was the posture of afFairs when
the letter containing the above particulars was despatched to the
Punjab.

DECEMBER 1.
Av A.—The following fragments of info-trAticm from the king.
dont of Ave are not of a later date than the latter end of October,
but they are interesting. as being illustrative of the character and
sentiments of the enemy nt the present period
:
As goon as the Kee Weonglie heard of the robbCries by the
banditti, to which ne have before referred, lie otdered t3OO Men,

en noised for continuing thC wale crrired, he wee obliged to counters
order them. In comeguer 7t!. the slusqui of 3:ecady sent Some
men to Prome, for the avowed purpose of robbing, and they suc-
ceeded in carrying ol? four new muskets and bayonets to the
:klit.trti, who instantly paid down twenty five tickals lot each, as a
reward.

It appears, that the King gave particular orders to his half
brother not to meet the English General at the conference, but to
let the Kee ‘Voon;:hte
In the latter part of October, twelve large boats, from Itlaloon,
arrived at 3leeaday, ts;th 100 guns of various calibre, and Jinjals.
Ureast-works were preparing in every direction. Whilst the per-
son who relates these facts was at Itleeaday, bands of from 150 to
500 men were nightly leaving the Burman lines. for the secret put.
pr*e of strengthening or relieving their marauding parties in the
Prune and Sarrawaddy districts.
... _ _

A messenger, whci had been despatched to klemboo states,
that alien the En; fish General and Officers retutned from Mem-
leetzick. after the conference, the Burmese Chiefs reported all
through the Burmese soldiery and populace that the English had
come to treat in consequence of the Cochin Chinetie, the friends
of the Mintiest., having proposed to come forward and shut the
English le, and thus prevent their getting away. They also said
that the Eegliah demanded a large sum of money as payment for
the expenses of the liar, hut the Burmese answer was—we too ire
at greet expense, tier soldiers cost us 150 rupees each. The Eng.
lish also asked for Arrazan, which the Burmese refused ; the
Engli>h thin asked tor Chedubst„ which was in like manner re.
fused. The general report, all through the Burmese army, was,
that there must be peace, as the English were tired out. Where
the conference won held at the Loton, the Burmese, by the advice
of Lamain-woon and the Atta-woos, had 4000 musketeers, with
jiMala, ready in the surrounding jungle, to tight, if any difference
took place, or the English gave trouble. Every one thinks there
must be a peace. The cutinnon people think, from the reports
spread by the higlier chosen, that it is because the English gm
it up. But all the Chiefs know that it is desired by their Go.
vernment, as the treasury is exhausted, and the King is now bor.
rowing or exacting from the merchants, and every one he can raise
money front. ' A man who lately arrived at Ale.nboo, tiom Ave.
says there is a general confusion there, in consequence of the rape.
city of the Government for money; there is no credit, and the
g-eat Chinese trade is entirely at a stand, confidence being de.
stroycd. The report of assistance from China is all false. The
English, American, and Armenian prisoners, being in the greatest
distress for food, sent to Monrhoozar to say they were so long with.
out toad they were starving. hionshoozar sent nice and money for
their relief, which, when the King heard, he ordered him and his
whole family for execution, and they were only saved by chane.,
by the intercess'on of the King's sister; but all his property is
confiscated, and he is in irons. Some of the white people who
were in irons are dead, but none have been executed ; they died
front trouble, broken hearts, and ill-usage.
Prince Sartawaddir is in :Hembree. with his own people, only
1,014, who are rubbing and plundering all the neighbouring dig.
triets. There arc 4.000 boats, with people of the Lower Provinces,
under his protection there. A Portuguese was lately put to death
by ellaimabeo, for trechientelly crossing the road when his army
was passing. It was generally talked, before the conference, that
in the month of November, the English would march from Arm.
can, Sylhet, and Procne, on Ara; but after the conference, the ree
port was, that the English generals at these places were sending
back thcir people to Bengal. hlaimaboo talked very high to his
trremn, but was evidently rejoiced at the prospect of peace. The
Burman army altogether, from Maloon to Thongo, is about sixty
thousand men, of which twelve thousand are in Thongo, six thou-
sand in various posti from thence to Alecaday ; and from Maloon
to Meeaday there are about forty thousand men, These is a con-

The latest private letters from l'rome, received in Cal.

December, and mentioned that the Royals, at the post it&
advance of Promo, where Brigadier-General Al‘Crtagli
left them, had had some skirmishes with the enteny, and
had beaten them. The main body of the army was ex-
pected, at that time, to move forward on Alevaday, about

Mr. favitt-said, that long as he had been acquainted with the
affairs of the City, he had never till that time known that the Bo-
rough of Southwark was so burdensome to its funds. The report,
drawn up by the City's own Solicitor, ought to induce the Court
to pause awhile, and consider the nature of the relation between
the two Corporations, and whether it would be expedient to hold
the Charter any longer. The City had for many year; taken the
Borough under its protection, in consequence of the county having
shamefully neglected its affairs; bat as the connexiun had grown
to such en alarming extent, it would be right to defer the consi-
deration of the report for some time; at least until it Ives seen
whether any remedy could be applied to that grievous burden.
Mr. JON es did not imagine that the inhabitants were desirous
of bring governed by the Corporation of London, and it ought well
to be considered whether they did not wish to appoint their own
officers. (Hear).

Alderman with the appointment, if he had undertaken the office
on public grounds, and discharged its duties fairly and honestly.
It was unjust to pass over the claims of men who had received no
remuneration; and, In acceding to the present grant. he conceived
that the Court ac:ed in a way unworthy of its Justice and hide-
pendence. (Hear.) It was hard that, after all the trouble whirl,
the Borough affairs had cost the City, it should be obliged to ad.
evince 24001. from its own estates. Yet, so constituted was the
Court, that it waned always inclined to act with kindness and
good-nature when any pecuniary claims were made upon it, and
most eager to give away the emoluments in its gift--the very point,
of all others, about which they 'ought to be Most scrupulous.
(Hear, hear.)
Mr. Alderman GAtRATT mid, the salary attached to the office
of High Bailiff' was fixed by the Court of Aldermen, without
having any other situation in view, and that the daily attention
which it demanded, and the dignity and responsibility it imposod,
were strifizient grounds for fixing the salary at 800/.
Mr, OLDHAM said, in 1824 the emoluments of the office were
between 8001. and 9001. a-year, and often amounted to 1000 f.: and
that in addition to theme sums, a charge of 233/. was made for the
Deputy Bailiff, besides other charges for clerks. ( Hear.) Ile
contended that the City ought to be as tenacious of giving up its
right ea in voting away its funds. The Shrievalty of London alone
cost it 30.000/. annually, yet who would think for one moment of
abandoning an office of such fearful responsibility ? He recollected
the erring of a Nobleman, who was asked to part with a manor :
" No;" he replied, " these are the only things which distinguish
Its from the modern nobles." (Hear, and laughter.)
Mr. S. Dtxow contended that the inhabitants of the Borough of
Southwark had enjoyed great advantages under the sway of the
Corporation of London, and it would be unfair to abandon the
jurisdiction without knowing their opinion of the change.
Mr. JAMES thought Mr. Holmes fully entitled to the proposed

The Report was then put to the vote and approved of.
The Report of the Committee appointed to inquire into the right
of David Hill Saul to be admitted to the freedom of the City, was
read. The Committee stated that, although Mr. Saul's father was
a Jew, he had married an English female, and his children had
amfornned to the rites of tho Church of England.
After a slight discussion, the Report was approved of.
Some routine business having been transacted, the Court ad-
journed.
Mr. Firth, of the Ward of Bread-street, was appointed a Go-
vernor of St. Bartholomew's Hospital, in the room of Mr. Gibson.
The Committee of City Lands presentee' a report of on the sob-
!stunt Bartholomew Fair, and the several petitions which had been
presented respecting it, in which they recommended that in future

The defendant fri this cane wu again brought up this morning,
when the Lord Chief Justice said, that he and his beamed Brothers
had conmlted together, and, without intimating any opinion, they
thought the defendant ought to he admitted to bail.
The bail were not immediately ready, but in the course of the
morning they appeared.
fhe first bail that tendered himself was James Johnson, cabinet.
maker and upholsterer, of In. Paddington street, Marylebone. On
examination by the Attorney-General, he admitted that he had
owed 31. for arrears of taxes, more than three quarters of n year,

square, then justified in the stint of 1,506/. and was admitted.
31r. Ttlinat. then requested that the other bail might be taken
in the country, as he was an old gentleman of seventy years of age.
We understood the name to be Dr. Davis, of Macclesfield, who
had already offered to become bail before the magistrates in the
country, when they decided that they ought not to take any bail.
The ATTORN Y•GENF.HAL said, that if it depended upon him,
he should object to this proposition.
The Put E J CST ICE at first thought that the Court could not
accede without the consent of the prosecutors; but afterwards the
Court made an order that the defendant be re-committed to irancan-
ter Castle, and that another good bail should be taken Lcfore the
magistrates in the amount of 11001.
Alr. TINDAL then said that the party could proceed to .!liaceles-
field on their road to Lancaster, as the other hail resided there,
and, as they gave notice now, the defendant could be discharged on
Saturday morning.
The Court acceded to this proposition, and after the defendant
had entered into his own recognizance in the sum of 2,000/. to ap.
pear at the next Lancaater Assizes, he left the court in company
wilt his solicitor, Mr. Harmer, and his bail, accompanied by the
gaoler of Lancaster Castle.

GOLSTVIN 7•. FOSS.

This was an action fora libel, published by the defendant, in his
character of Secretary to the Society of Guardians for the Protec-
tion of Trade from Sharpers and Swindlers, against the defendant,
who was a merchant, carrying on business under the firm of Gol.
stzin, Castles, and Co.. in illark-lane. The libel consisted in the
insertion of the plaintiff's name in a certain list sent round to the
subscribers of the society, purporting on the face of it to be a list of
persons who were unfit to be balloted for as members, but being in
truth and fact the names of persons who were proscribed as shar-
pers and swindlers. The inuendo was left to the Jury at the trial of
the cause before the Lord Chief Justice here, at the Sittings after
last Hilary Term, and they found for the plaintiff, damages 1501.
Mr. CAMPBELL now moved for a rule to show canoe why the
judgment should not be arrested, on the ground that no one of the
four counts in the declaration was good. The libel set out with
the name of the Society, and then went en to say, " Sir, 1,"
meaning. Edward Foss the defendant," am directed to inform you
that the persons ender-named, as using the firm of Golstein,
Castles, and Co. No. 5, Mark.lane, are reported to this Society as
improper persons to be balloted for as members thereor"fhen fol.
lowed the inuendo, " thereby meaning that the plaintiff' was a per-
son of dishonest character ;" and there was no colloquial or intro.
ductory averment whatever to extend the meaning of the supposed
libel beyond the ordinary acceptation of the words mf which it con-
sisted. The Learned Counsel then cited Busham's case, Ist Wil.
liams and Saunders, 343 • Holt and Schofield, li T. R. 69 ; and
Pox and Hawkery, R. 427, to show that there must be in.
troductory and colloquial matter to show the meaning of the sup.
posed libel, and to extend its signification beyond the ordinary im-
port.—Rule granted.
CRIMINAL. INFORMATION.

Mr. TAUNTo2ll3TovedForaruletO;WcWeause why a criminal
information should not be filed against the Rev. Dr. John Wool,
one of the Magistrates of the county of Warwick, for improperly
committing a person under the circumstances which the affidavit
disclosed. It appeared, that on the 15th of February last, a per-
son of the name of Ward, who was a licensed hawker and pedlar,
came to the town of Rugby. for the purpose of disposing of his
goods. Upon that occasion he went to the houses of different per.
sons in the town, and among others, to the house of one Peter
Hewett. On offering his wares, Hewett uked hint to produce his
license. He at first refused to produce it, and then asked Hewett
for his authority to require the production of his license. Ward
did, immediately afterwards, produce his license ; and then Hewett,
after sending for 3 constable named Dugand, refused to look at it.
Dugand, the constable, looked at it, and said it was all right ;
butilewett insisted on ‘Vard being instantly taken before a Ma-
gistrate, and he was accordingly taken before Dr. Wool. When
the party got there, Hewett made oath that he had demanded the
license of ‘Vard, and it was refused: on which Dr. Wool said,
•• there is a parcel of you fellows going about the country, and
knocking at people's doors, purposely to annoy them, and there-
fore I shall inflict the penalty.' Upon that, he loo'aed at the Act
of Parliament, and said, " You shall go to Warwick for three
months." Ward complained it was very hard he should be sent
to gaol, when he was a licensed hawker, and then Hewett asked
Dr. Wool if he could not mitigate the penalty. Dr. Wool, on
this, said i: might be settled by Ward's paying do chuges ; and
the penalty being remitted in this way, Ward was put under the
charge of a constable there, to remain in custody until he should
settle the charges.
The COURT was of opinion that there was ho ground whatever
for a criminal information. 53 far from there being any corruption
shown on the part of Dr. Wool, he had rctcd with too notch
clemency, fur he had given Ward an opportunity of cornpromisi ig
the matter, instead of sending him to the House of Correction.
Under the Act of Parliament, any person to wham a hawker
offered his wares for sale, had a right to demand li;s license; and
it was the duty of the pedlar to produce it immediately, for if he
had a right to delay, the license might be transferred, and so three
or four hawkers might be travelling through the country with one
license.—hale refused.
STRAW BAIL.
IN THE 3IATTER OF THOMAS RUSSEL.

J. French, an Elder in the service, stated that when the prisoner
came down, he requested him to walk into the counting house,
which he did, and witness then told him why he requested him to
do so, and sent the an Excise officer of the name of Bateman. He
was searched, and tea was found in the pockets of more garments
than one. The prisoner seemed much hurt, and hoped witness
would not expose him. NVitness replied that he must do his duty.
The prisoner said that distress (trove him to do as he had done, as
he had been out of situation for a long time. The prisoner was,
however, given into custody.
J. Bateman, the officer who was called in to witness the search,
confirmed the statement of the last witness. .

The prisoner, in his defence, said that but for exposing himself in
his unpleasant situation, he could have filled the floor of the Court
with respectable merchants, who would have testified as to his con.
duct and character for many years past. As he had not called them,
he hoped the Jury would be milled with the evidence of those
whom he should call. Who knew his habits of life. Was it likely
that he should risk his reputation and his liberty for so paltry a
theft? The fact was, he went to take samples for the persons
whose names had been mentioned, and he did take six, but not hay.
ing a piece of paper at hand, he put the seventh loose in his pocket,
which he was ready to admit was contrary to regular practice, but
he denied having any felonious intention. He had been confined
six weeks upon a charge of stealing four ounces of tea, and he
hoped the Jury, by their verdict. would restore him to that liberty
of which he had been an long deprived.
Several witnesses were then called, who gave the prisoner a most
excellent character.

The Jury consulted for near an hour, when the Foreman said
they were all agreed except one, and he begged leave to retire;
they did so, and they remained out of Court near an hour and a
half, and then returned with a verdict of Not Guilty.
The whole of the trials having been disposed of, the Recorder
passed sentence of death on the following 36 individuals, convicted
during the Session, viz.:—
For berglary—Wnt. Wilson, Jnhn Edward Gnatley, John
APNicholl, Joseph Lona, John Laden, Samuel Trivets, John
3lackentire, and 11,m. Jones.

Archibald 3litchie.

MAIDSTONE ELECTION.—Extract of a private letter, dated
April 11 We are all alive here on the subject of a General
Election, although nothing as yet is finally settled as to who is to be
the' third man.' As our present Members (Messrs. Wells and
Robarts) intend to stand the issue of a contest, should a third can.
didate offer himself, there will be shun work cut out for all parties,
although it is supposed among those who are in the secret here,
that the new candidate, whoever he may be, provided he agrees to
oppose the Catholic Claims, and no Radical, is sure to be returned,
if he has four or five thousand pounds to sport among our truly free
and independent Burgesses. ‘Vithout those four or five thousand
sovereign reasons, his success would be hopeless. Mr. Wells' scat
is considered secure, being a man universally respected by his con-
stituents, Mr. Robarts has lost many supporters from his perse-
verance, in opposition to his warmest friends in Maidstone, in vot-
ing fur granting Emancipation to the Catholics. There was a re-
port, a short time since, that Mr. Trant, the present Member for
Oakhampton, was going to offer himself; but his friend, whom he
despatched to ascertain • how tht land lay,' finding nothing to war-
rant a 40001. speculation amongst upwards of 800 ' weathercock
freemen,' that gentleman declined the honour of spending his
money amongst them. A gentleman, greatly experienced in elec.
tioneerieg tactics, set off posthaste last evening for Dorsetshire, for
the purpose of soliciting a worthy Baronet of distinguished reputa-
tion in that county to offer himself for this Borough. Those who
are fond of electioneering sprees would go through fire and water to
get a' third man.' Nothing but a third man' is talked of, and
nothing but the money, which otherwise would not be spent, is
thought of. A third man' is the cry, and independence the
watch word."

ilVe are informed or. the very best authority, that the letter we
gave a few days ago, purporting to be addressed by G. L. For,
Esq. to his constituents, is a fabrication, it being in no respect like

paper, and it is no doubt " a weak invention" of some coati). to

It has seldom been our duty to record so indifferent and scanty a days
sport ; much regret having been expressed here by the t a-ual visitors.
At first three races were expected to take place according to the dui

The following were sentenced to transportation for life—Robert
Barton. Aaron Baker, James Ferris, Thomas 31acarty, Dennis

Fourteen years—Wm. Adams, Thus. Phillips, Robert Hughes,
and Charles Timm.
And 8.5 for seven years. Attio,gst this number was Joseph
Nightingale, whose ease has excited so much interest at the Police
offices.

The weather combined with the very unpromlsing bill of fare, being
showery and uncertain ; this., however, had a most bertelic:al effect, al sell

The prisoner who w.•scennMirted yesterday morning
by Mr. J ustiee HOI.ROYD, for gross prevarication and false awear•
ing, was now brought up.
Mr. Justice IIotAtOYD made his report. The Lennie., Judge
said that the prisoner appeared barrios hint to become nail, yester-
day morning in the Bail Court. 'Die amount of the debt in one
action in which he appeared to bail the defendant was 13W., and he
attempted to justify in double that Rum. In the course of his ex-
amination by Mr. Comyn, who opposed him, he prevaricated very
much, and positively swore that he had not been errested in the last
year. After that he tendered himself as bail in a second action.
and was opposed by Mr. Chitty, in answer to whose repeated
questions he swore again and again most positively. that he hail not
been arrested during the last year. nor lied he tal e i the ben, fit of
an Insolvent Debtor's Act. Mr. Chitty then cant it,ed the prsioner
that he would be contradicted, because the person who had arrested
him was hi Court ; and also the necessary proof to show that he
bad taken the benefit of the Lord's Act. Upon this the prisoner
admitted, after some hesitation, that he had been arrested during
the last year and that he had taken the benefit of the Lord's Act.
When the prisoner was asked whether he bur any thing to say,
he put In • petition averring that he had been so much contused by
Mr. Comyn and Mr. Chitty that he did not know what he swore,
and that he had no intention to impose upon the Court, fur he was
lammed of property worth more than b. 00401.
The LoRD Corry JUSTICE OCT consulting with the other
Judges said, that if the Court could be induced to believe that the
prisoner had been confused, they might deal leniently with him ;
but as it was clear that hal not been the case, and as as it was ne-

of Newgate for • period of one month, fur this flagrant contempt
of Court.

The prisoner left the Court with evident muks of astonishment
depicted on his countenance.
