GENERAL FLORES' EXPEDITION.--Colonel Richard
Wright, C.nsul- General of the State of Ecuador, in South
America, and aide-de-camp to General Flores, surren-
dered before Mr. Yardley, with his bail, to answer a
charge of misdemeanour, in violating the provisions of
the Foreign Equipment and Enlistment Act, the 59th
of Geo. 111 , cap. 69.

The proceedings lasted a long time, but the evidence
was to the same effect as that adduced on previous exa-
minations of the parties charged with having taken part
in the expedition. The witnesses examined were Cap-
tain Harvey Tuckett, Mr. William Leigh Butts, Mr.
Gabriel Maturin, and Sir William Ogilvie, Bart. The
last-named witness said he was promised the appoint-
ment of aide•de-camp to General Flores when the expe-
dition reached the Ecuador, and that he had been to
Limerick to procure recruits. Ho stated, however, that
those he engaged at Limerick were to go out as emi-
grants, and consisted principally of artisans.
One of the witnesses for the prosecution openly avowed
that if he had received the 651. co►npensation money
which had been claimed, he would not have appeared as
a witness against Colonel Wright.
The defendant was ultimately ordered to find bail to
answer the charge at the Central Criminal Court.

Mr. Shaw put in the names of respectable bail, who
were accepted, and Colonel Wright was liberated.
An exciting scene immediately afterwards took place
outside the court. Captain H. Tuckett no sooner reached
the street than he was arrested by two Sheriffs' officers,
who led him away amidst the groans, hisses, and exe-
crations of the people connected w ith the Ecuador expe-
dition. Some of them offered personal violence, when
the police interfered, but not before a scoundrel with a
heavy stick hit him on the back. Captain Tuckett was
aved from further injury, and was escorted by the po-
-s;ice some distance before the mob left him.

the horse,
of Karoee, Mahomed Khan, for 16 men slaves, the average
price of a man slave being about 35 Persian tomauns, or
171. sterling. Mahomed Khan tried the powers of the
horse, and galloped him against a number of his best
horses, all of whom he beat. The Khan gave him over
to one of his most daring captains, Rossoul, who had the
temerity to make a foray close upon the camp of the
Qrince Royal, Abbas Mirza, whilst the English officers
were with him, and in that foray re-captured that extra-
ordinary wanderer, the Rev. Joseph Wolf, whom, when
he could not sell him for a larger sum than five tomauns
(21. 12s. ed.), he released, and sent to Meshed. For this
temerity Rossoul was haunted down, and he and his
chief destroyed by the prince, and eventually the horse
came into the hands of Captain Shee. The horse has all
the peculiarities, and, eminently, all the excellences of
the breed; he is cathammed to an extraordinary degree;
very long from the bone to the hoof, and extremely fine
in the neck and shoulder. His speed, wind, and endur-
ance are his characteristic qualities. The horse is at
present in the possession of Earl Fitzwilliam.
DEATHS OF Two CHILDREN BY FIRE.—Yester-
day afternoon an inquest was taken before Mr. Baker, at
the London hospital, on view of the body of Michael
Bryant, aged two years, of No. 3, Swallow's-gardens,
Rosemary-lane. On Saturday morning last the deceased
was placed on the floor before the fire by his mother,
while she was sweeping the stairs. Shortly afterwards
she was alarmed by the deceased screaming, and on en-
tering the room she discovered the poor child on fire.
The flames were almost immediately extingu;shed, but
not before he was burnt most severely. He was re-
moved to the above hospital, where ho died the same
day. Mr. Baker held a second inquest at the Jolly
Butchers, Tottenham, on the body. of Francis Nibs, aged
four years, who was burnt under similar circumstances.
A verdict of "Accidental death" was returned in each
