(From the Sumachar .Durputi' Native Paper, May 1.)
On Thursday,
the 18th of March, Kakajee, the
celebrated marauder, was executed, with seven of
his associates, at Ahmednugur. This man was born
a Brahmin, and having given himself up to a pre-
datory life, for many years carried on his system of
robbery in defiance of the public authorities. In
the districts in which he resided he was constantly
employed in some plundering expedition, and, though
detested by the natives, so great was the terror of
his name that no one ventured to give evidence
against- him. Some years age he was in confinement
at Dhoolia, but contrived to make his escape, leav-
ing a note for the Magistrate, in which he humour-
ously begged to be excused for absence without leave,
saying that he was tired of confinement and gaol
diet. During his last imprisonment he had nearly
succeeded iii liberating himself, but his plans were
defeated by the treachery of a fellow-prisoner. His
common food was parched grain, and he per-
formed his devotions seated on his sabre, ac-
cording to the practice of those of his caste
who bear arms. He endeavoured to encourage
his followers by giving but that ho was an in-
carnation of Chundobhy, the deified patron of
Mahratta thieves: His son, following his fa-
ther's trade, shared in his fate. lie was a very
spirited youth, and, when last arrested, seeing
a person mounted on a fine horse, assured him of
his intention to possess it, cost free, in a very short
time. The• whole party was executed about two
p.m., and a very strong guard was sent to the spot,
as it was generally understood that the people in-
tended to rescue them. Two Brahmins, one Pur-
desee, one Moosoolmano two Mehrattas, a Blies' of
Ouzerat, and a Dher, were executed with him. The
Purdesee, Omar Sing, on a recent occasion, when a
British Officer fell into their hands, would have put
him to death, but the Chief, Kakajee, prevented
him, end, giving the officer two rupees, dismissed
tact,him. In
i 'Kakajee always behaved with gene-
rosity in lisexpeditions. During his trial, it, was
proved that his object was to raise all the predatory
tribes of the Deccan against the British Govern-
ment, and to make conquests for himself. If the
British Government had not been as firm and stable
as it is, this man would probably have succeeded in
his object, and obtained as great fame as Ryder Al
adia ;

The City Solicitor—Will Captain Read pay for
the damage he has caused, and get the barge, which
is now, and has been these some days, an obstruction
to the navigation, raised? Captaiu—l deny the
truth of the charge altogether. The steamer was
going at the rate of between three and four miles an
hour, which is ender the regulated rate, and I am
responsible.
The City. Solicitor—The barge was sunk by the
steam-vessel. You can't deny that. Mr. Jones
(the owner)We admit that the barge was sunk
by—something.
The City Solicitor—lt is ridiculous to deny that
it was sunk by the enormous swell caused by the
progress of the, steam-vessel. Mr. Jones—The
barge was too heavily laden, and would have gone
down if a smart wind started. The Captain was
by no means to blame, and could prove it.
• The City Solicitor observed that, whatever effect
the wind might have upon the barge, the steamer
was not justified in sinking her by a manufactured.
storm.—(A laugh.) It was in evidence that the
was going at the time at full speed, and the
barge sunk in the swell. Common sense required
no more.

Captain Read—l say the Eclipse was not going
at full speed, and I deny that I was hailed by the
bargemen. The Captain then called witnesses to
disprove the case against him.
The City Solicitor—Do you remember about
three months ago, sinking the boat of Joseph Haynes,
a Waterman ? Witness—l do not.
The City ,Solicitor—Do you remember that on
Monday last the boat or William Shepheid was'
sunk by the .Eclipse?,:—Certainly not.
Captain Read—The Eclipse was not out on that
day at all.
The City Solicitor—Well, do you remember that
Shepherd's boat %vas sunk ?—The witness answered
again in the negative.
, The City Solieitor.—Have you never bad n com-
plaint that a boat was sunk by your vessel ? Wit-
ness—Never since I have been in her.

Another person employed in the vessel saw the
barge as the steamer went along, and that it ap-
peared to be very heavily laden. He said to a gen-
tleman near him that she lay very deep.
The City Solicitor—Well, and you saw her sink
immediately afterwards ? Witness—l heard after-
wards that she had sunk.

Have you never, heard that boats were sunk by
the Eclipse within the last three or four months ?
Never.

Tho City Solicitor submitted that the barge was
sunk by the steamer, and that the complaint ought
to be redressed. He then stated that he bad, ac-
cording to the directions of. the Court of Aldermen,
served the captains and owners of all the steam-
vessels with copies of the resolution of the Court
as Lathe rate of going.
The Loan MAYOR---I consider the lives and pro-
perty of the public to be in imminent hazard from
the manner in which those vessels pass up and down
the river, and I am bound and determined to pro-
tect them. _ _

The Captain and the owner begged leave to resist
any demand upon them, and sa►d they were pre-
pared to defend themselves, as they by no means
considered the steamer in fault.

The LORD MAYOR—Very well: perhaps the best
way is to have it settled in a Court of Justice. I
trust that it will be tried, for I really begin to
tremble for the public.
The parties then retired.
The proprietors of several steam-vessels, and
many other persons interested, were present during
the investigation.
The Water-bailiff received directions to raise the
complainant's barge, which now lies an obstruction
in the river.
at MILBOROUOILSTREET.
Captain Foster came to this office yesterday, to
complain of a statement made by the Hon. Mr.
Perry here a few days ago, respecting a stanhope
which Mr. Perry alleged the Captain had improperly
appropriated to his own use. Nothing could be
more unjust, Captain Foster said, than Mr. Perry's
assertions; for the truth was, that the stanhope in
question did not belong to either of them, but to
Mr. Houlditch, the coachmsker, in Long-acre, of
whom Mr. Perry had obtained it, but had not paid
for it. As for the alleged sale to Mr. Hitchcock, it
never took place; and,in truth, the stanhope is now
back in the possession of Mr. Houlditch, and was
so at the very time that Mr. Perry was making his
application at this office, as he well knew. The
whole fact of the matter, Captain Foster said, was,
that Mr. Perry being hard pushed for money,
wished to sell the atanhope, and gave him, Captain
Foster, a written order to dispose of it for him, and
under this authority a negotiation was certainly
going on with Mr. Hitchcock for the sale of it,
when Mr. Houlditch stepped in, and claiming the
stanhope as his property, got it back.
Mr. DYER said that he was not the Magistrate to
whoM Mr. Perry had made his application, and he
therefore knew nothing of the matter.

QUEENSQUARa
MIN'OR THEATRICALS EXTRAORDINARY:h.—Yeti-
terday six as hopeful youths as can web be imagined
were placed at the bar before Mr. WHITE, charged
with performing a play in an unlicensed theatre, and
taking money at the doors. They gave their names
John Percival, Watt Bolton, Stephen Frankham,
Was, Dyer, Wm. Bright, and Wm. Took, the latter
a limping little fellow, well known about town as
the proprietor of several penny shows.
On the stage-struck heroes being arranged at the
bar, the police constables produced a number of
swords, helmets, and a variety of tinselled dresses,
captured in the storming of this theatre.
Mr. Smith, the Inspector of the L division, stated
that information bad been given by the inhabitants
that n number of idle and disorderly persons as-
sembled at a house in a place called Hoskin's-yard.
High-street, Lambeth, which they had converted
into a theatre, and that they wished the police to
interfere to put a stop to the nuisance, u the children
