GUILDIIALL.

Yesterday a very respectable-looking young person,
named Henry Mason, was placed at the bar before the
sitting Alderman on the charge of embezzling large
sums of money belonging to the City of London Gas
Company, .Salisbury-square, Fleet-street.
The investigation into the case had been entered Upon
some time since, in which it appeared that the prisoner
had been in the Company's employment as cleric, and in
that capacity large sums of money passed through his
hands on their account. When he was first employed
he had procured two securities in the amount of 1,0001.,
and the defalcations since discovered in his accounts were
considered to amount to a much larger sum ; but of this
fact no decided statement could be made, as his accounts
had not as yet been closed.
Mr. Htunplireys, who appeared for the prisoner, said
his client was most anxious to afford every facility in his
power to balance the accounts. Ho applied to have the
further hearing of the case postponed.
Mr. Tyrrell, who appeared on behalf of the Company,
Said it was his wish to allow the prisoner every fair
means of defending himself. The Company entertained
no hostile feeling towards him, but they felt bound for
their own protection to prosecute in this case to prevent
a repetition of such conduct. Ho should not object to '
the postponement.
After some further consultation between the solicitors,
the prisoner was ordered to be brought up again on this
day fortnight.

DEATH OF THE HON. SIR J. ASHLEY
MAUDE.—BRIGHTON, OCT. 24.---This melancholy event,
which had been for some days expected, took place yes-
terday morning, at six o'clock, where the Hon. Gentle-
man had been residing for the last three or four months.
His elder brother, Viscount. Hawarden, arrived on
Thursday morning at the Bedford Hotel, to see him in
his last illness. Sir Ashley Maude distinguished him-
self at the battle of Navarino, and for his bravery re-
ceived the honour of knighthood. He was born on the
6th of November, 1786, and Was consequently in his
fifty-fifth year ; and married, in 1817, Albinia, second
daughter of the late Most Rev. Charles Brodrick, Arch-
and has one surviving daughter.

It is stated, on the best authority, that the Irish pea-
santry will this year be exposed to a great deficiency in
the potato crop, and it is remarkble that the failure of
the crop is greatest upon rich and heavy soils, such as
the south-western parts of the county of Tipperary,
while the light, sandy soils alone produce fairly.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

The benefit for the Fishmongers' and Poulterers' So-
ciety last night was quite successful. The honSe was
crowded to excess, and it was gratifying to see so many
of the higher classes present • .to patronise this charitable
institution. Among others we obscrved Miss Burd4t
Couttsi Lady Hope Yore, the Countess of Glengail, and
Lord Augustus Fitzclarence. The actors, too, seemed
to take delight •in lending their assistance on the occa-
sion. • Mr. Strickland, Mr. Rees, Mr. Wrench, and Mr.
Macready performed their parts admirably in Bulwer's
comedy of Money. Foreign Affairs and The Boarding
School were performed in the same spirit, and the musi-
cal interludes, among others Rossini's overture to Se—,
mirarnide, were loudly cheered. • • The audience, alto-
gether, seemed highly gratified with the entertainments,
and we hope the Society for which the benefit was given
will be still more delighted.-

TRIAL OF IVPLEOD.

By the arrival of the George Washington on Sun..'
day night, at Liverpool,we have received New York ,
papers of-the 7th inst., with a full report of the
trial of ALEXANDER M'LEOD to the after-
noon of the 6th, being the third day of
the proceedings. In consequence, we sup-
pose, of the absurd and mischievous bravado of
the Times, and other Tory papers, that
the Jury would be composed of members of the
Society of Friends, who would not return a ver-
dict affecting a man's life, Judge GRIDLEY,
who presided at the trial, allowed no person
to be sworn in as a Juror who did not
first affirm that he was without scruples
as to the infliction of capital punish-
ments. M'LEOD was charged with the mur-
der of Amos DI:RFEE, a citizen of the United
States, who was on board the Caroline the night
she was taken and burnt by the British invaders
from . Canada. He appeared at the bar
well-dressed, and his deportment was ' mo-
dest and respectable. Daring the delivery
of no part of the evidence given , against
him did he manifest the slightest apprehen-
sion; and were we to admit the legality of
his trial—which of course we do not—the testi-
mony of the witnesses for the prosecution down
to the close of our report, was not so conclusive
of 11PLEou,
as to place his life in any peril. Of eight wit-
nesses examined only two spoke of the identity
and one of these so imperfectly, that

John Hood was charged, before Mr. Jardine, with
stealing a copper scale, the property of Mr. James
Evans, of Hungerford Market.
It appeared that the prisoner walked deliberately up
to the shop of the prosecutor, and took down the scale
in question, with which he was about to make off, but
being observed by a. policeman he was taken into custody.
The prisoner said in his defence that he was in a very
destitute condition, and that was the reason he had com-
mitted the offence.
He was committed for trial.

BIRMINGHAM AND DERBY RAILWAY.

The general meeting of the Proprietors of the Birming-
ham and Derby Railway was held on Thursday last, the
26th ult. at the Waterloo-rooms, Birmingham, having
been adjourned from the 10th ult. for the purpose of re-
ceiving the Report of a Committee appointed to investi-
gate the accounts and the financial condition of the Com-
pany. From this Report which was presented and read
to the meeting, it appeared that a considerable discre-
pancy had existed between the amount of traffic as pub-
lished weekly, and the aggregate amount ascertained at
the close of the half-year ; the latter having fallen short
of the former by no less than 11989/. 13s. 3d. This
error the Report stated to havo..arisen from errors
in keeping the accounts of the merchandise and
mineral traffic, and to have shown considerable
negligence in the principal servant of the Com-
pany. With respect to the general financial con-
dition of the Company, the Report stated, that, in ad-
dition to the sum of 800,0001. raised by shares, and
256,6661. by debentures, a further sum of 80,0001. would
be required to complete the line. With regard to the
revenue, it appeared that the gross proceeds of the traffic
for the past year had been 58,3501., which, after paying
the charges of working the line and the interest upon the
borrowed money, left a balance of profit for the year of
6,3611. 2s. 5d., equal to about 13s. 4d. on each share of

1001. The COmrilittee, however, expressed a confident
expectation that the traffic will ultimately be greatly in-
creased ; and they presented a series of calculations to
show, that a gross annual income of 113,4381. might be
fairly expected, which, if realized, will probably pay
about four per cent. to the Shareholders. After hearing
this Report read, the meetinc, resolved that no dividend
should be made, and that the surplus of 6,3611. 2s. sd.
should be carried to the credit of the revenue account.

SCLNDE.

Intelligence to the 28th of May from Upper Scinde
has reached us, which may be truly said to be of a dismal
and melancholy nature. The insalubrity of the climate
is most destructive to the troops, who are suffering
dreadfully from the combined influences of sickness and
want. It is our painful duty to record the death of
Major Liddell, Ist Cavalry, who died at Kotra, a place
described as full of pestilence and disease. Major Lid-
dell was well known throughout the Bombay Army.
He was an excellent officer and a highly estimable
man. A small party of the 6th Native Infantry, oc-
cupying an outpost, under Captain Farquhar, have 100
men sick and unfit for duty, together with three
European officers.. Out of a party of 50 irregular horse
there are 42 laid up. The poor camels are dying by
scores and dozens, and they seem to be regarded with
the greatest apathy and indifference. Lieutenant Ram-
say, of the Commissariat, was very ill, and Lieutenant
garden was so bad that small hopes were entertained of
his recovery. At Dadur, Kotra, and other places, sick-
ness is raging dreadfully—so much so that it is painful
to behold such a sacrifice of health, strength, and life,
made for the preservation of our control over arid sands
and barren rocks, and profitless fields, of scanty and
stunted produce, over wretched villages, with their lean
dogs and famished inhabitants, over miserable forts, over
wild irreclaimable tribes and hordes, who delight in the
freedom of the hill and the desert,whose chivalry consists
in thieving, killing, and burning, and who laugh to
scorn the slavery and toil, and degradation of industrious
life. Is Beloochistan going to be to us what the vaunted
conquest of Algeria is to the French ? If the sword of
the B2looches does not inflict upon us such calamitous

losses, as the Moors of Africa. have inflicted on the
French, then will sickness eft'ect it, if our troops are to be
left a prey to its ravages.
Since writing the above, we have received the impor-
tant intelligence of Mr. Boss Bell having resigned; he
is to be succeeded, it is believed, by Major Outram, who
is to have political charge of Upper and Lower Scinde.
We think that Government could not have put its choice
upon a better man.

We regret to announce the death of Captain Rebc-
nack, 25th Regiment Native Infantry, at Kotra, on the
4th of June. This promotes Lieutenant J. R. I?. Wil-
loughby to Captain, and Ensign C. Marsten to Lieutenant.
The heat at Kotra is fearful, and rickness is great.

PALACE CO UltT.

WOOD r. GAMBIER.—This was an action it' recover a
sum of 431. odd, due by the defendant, a barrister, to the
plaintiff; who was formerly proprietor of an house in
Portugal street, Lincoln's Inn-fields. It appeared that
the defendant had offices in Crown-office-row, and living
en garcon, was in the habit of sending to the plaintiff's
house for several years for his dinners, and occasionally
a bottle of wine.

Several witnesses were examined, who proved the de-
livery of the " eatables and drinkables," and payments
at various times were admitted, which brought the ba-
lance due to the sum claimed by the plaintiff.
The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for the
sum claimed.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.

Ebjah West, a City toll•taker, and John Brand, a
City policeman, whom he had called to his aid to enforce
payment of the toll, were charged with assaulting the
Tooting carrier, taking his cart from him, and lodging it
in the Green-yard, to exact two-pence as toll, to which
the collector was not entitled.

It appeared that the toll is payable on every load of
goods brought into or carried out of the City, and the
toll-taker's deputy seeing the cart stop at an iron-
monger's near his station, assumed that it was to receive
and not deliver goods, and that though the cart had paid
on entering the City to deliver, it must pay again for
goods taken up to be carried to Tooting. The carrier
denied that he had taken up any goods in the City, and
obstinately refused to pay the sum unlawfully demanded.
He now called the ironmonger's shopman to prove that
he did not take up any goods there.
Mr. Alderman T. WOOD asked West if he was now
prepared to show the carrier had taken up goods in the City.
West said he was not, but the Tooting carrier ought
to pay, because all the other carriers did. He might
have paid the two-pence, and summoned him if the
charge was improper.
Mr. Alderman T. WOOD said the onus of giving proof
was on the other side. Those who made a claim should
be able to prove it, and should be the party to summon.
The public must be protected from such outrages as this,
and he therefore ordered the toll-taker and policeman to
find bail to answer the charge at the Sessions.

A special Court of Sewers for the City and Liberties
of Westminster was held in Soho-square yesterday, to

the right of jurisdiction- of the Commissioners over cer-

owner of a large extent of property in that place, had
Contested the right of their making sewers on his
grounds, and had made sewers of his own, which the
Cddrt had In pursuance of the powers vested in them

to have brought his galvano-plastic process to such per-

which takes with the greatest accuracy the most minute

casts in bronze ; so with the smallest objects, flowers,

News from China of the 20th of April will be found in
another part of The Sun. A circular addressed by
Captain Elliot to her Majesty's subjects in China, dated
from the British Factory-at Canton, announces the open-

at Canton, as the Chinese authorities were acting with
the greatest good faith.

AFFGHANISTAN.

We gather from Our letters from Cahill and Candahar
that the unfortunate affair of Major Lynch hays set the
whole of the Ghiljies againSt us ; the population are said
to have risen in arms to avenge the death of the chief
lately killed, and what makes the business worse is, that
he is stated to have been one of the firmest of Schah
Snojah's allies in that part of the country. Orders are
issued for troops to march, and are countermanded the
same day ; it is however surmised that a regiment of
Native Infantry and other troops will ica,ve Cabul imme-
diately on the arrival of-Shelton's Brigade, - which was
expected on the 7th instant. In the meantime the coun-
try is in a most disturbed state ; the daks are robbed and
passengers stopped. Our latest letter from Candahar is

The accounts from Affghanistan are not very favour-

Soojah's popularity is by no means on the ascendant ;
but we have not heard of more than one pitched battle
of any note within its dominions since our last summary
was published. The Ghiljie country, which is always
in a state of rebellion—such is the authorized word—
affords occupation for a considerable number of our
troops, and ever and anon there is a smart " affair,"

The Punjaubee excitement seems to be passing away,
and it is now much doubted whether the force assembled
on the frontier will, after all, move across the Sutler. It
is said that the efforts of Dhyan Singh and
GOolalt)
Singh have availed, in a great measure, to allay the
mutinous spirit which has so long been rife among the
Sikh troops, and that the greater part of these prcetorian
bands have been prevailed upon to go quietly home ~ on
leave." This will, doubtless, remove for a time the
necessity of British interference ; and, as the Govern-
ment is averse from active measures, it seems more
than probable that the hopes of those who had cal-
culated upon a march through the Punjaub at the com-
mencement of the cold season, will be defeated by the
adoption of a more feeble line of policy. Sooner or
later, however, a British army must be employed in that
quarter. The necessity, though delayed, will never .be
removed altogether, by any fortunate concurrence of
events, or any measures of diplomacy on our parts.—

A FACT.

MECHI'S MAGIC STROP is known to
have sharpened Razors when all other means have
failed. Those who doubt it can ask their friends, and if they
purchase, and are not satisfied, may have their money returned.
They are cheap-2s. 6d., 3s. 6d., 4s. 6d., and the very large
sizes 55., ss. 6d., and 6s 6d. each. The MAGIC PASTE is
6d. and Is. per cake. Upwards of 150,000 Strops and one
million and a half of Paste have been sold in the last six
years, which is a pretty good proof of their excellence. There
is a little fact, however, to notice, which may prevent much
disappointment and a good deal of pain : sundry unprincipled
persons, desirous of sharing Mechi's good fortune, without
being entitled to it, have made up thousands of common strops,
Calling them " The Magic Strop," " The Double Magic
Strop," " The Real Magic Strop, &c. and so on, taking care
riot to put on Mechi's Magic Strop. Now, by noticing the
name Mechi" on each Strop, with the address " No. 4,
Leadeehall•street, London," you are sure to be right, as the
law will not allow them to put Meal's name on the spuriotis
sort. These imitation Strops are manufactured in large
quantities at Sheffield, and shipped to a considerable extent to
America and the Colonies, and it is to be feared that in too
many instances the buyers are not aware they are deceived,
although they find them of no use in sharpening, which is a
considerable injury to Mechi's good name. Most respectable
Perfumers throughout the United Kingdom will supply the
Genuine Strop as cheap as if purchased at Mechi's. His ma.
!tufactury is at No. 4, Leadenhdll•street, London, where may
he had his famous Bagatelle Tables, Dressing Cases, and Papier
-'!aehe Goods,; also his approved Razors, Penknives, and
I able Cutlery. Catalogues may be had Gratis.

MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.
QUEEN'S TROOPS.—We have before us the casualty
returns of her Majesty's troops at Madras during the
omflieonethrs, and among
ofApril,and we are glad to notice, that during
that month there has not been a single death among the
the non-commissioned also the mor-
tality has not been so great as during some of the pre-
vious months of this year. There have been 19 deaths,
8 discharges, and 29 invalided.
MAJOR FITZGERALD.—We regret to announce the
decease of Major John Fitzgerald, of her Majesty's
39th Foot, who died at Kamptee on the 16th instant.
Major Fitzgerald had 28 years' full pa service. He
landed in the Peninsula in May, 1813, land served there
until the end of the war, including the siege of San Se-
bastian, at the assault of which fortress he was wounded
with the forlorn hope, the 31st of August, 1813, in
storming the heights of Vera, as a volunteer, and was
present at the battles- of the Nivelle, Nive, Bayonne,
Garrise, Orthez, and Toulouse. We conclude that Cap-
tain William Boran Bernard, COmmandant of her Ma-
iesty's depot at Foonainallec,a gallant soldier of 20 years'
full pay service and upwards, will succeed to the vacant
Majority in her Majesty's 39th Foot. •

MACAO, MAY 15.

For the last three months the drug market here has
been exceedingly flat, nor is there much prospect of im-
provement now. Our last accounts from Canton are not
very favourable ; sales were almost impracticable ; nor is
this to be wondered at when we consider that the city is
surrounded by troops (we hear about 20,900), who in
case of an outbreak would have little scruple in plunder-
ing their countrymen ; indeed, they seem to be aware of
this, as we hear from good authority that a great portion
of the better classes are clearing out of the city with
their effects. The Canton trade at this moment is in
every respect a forced one. There is no confidence be-
tween buyer and seller.
Up to this date about 11,000,0001b5. of tea have left
for England, and we think that nearly as much more will
be out by the end of next month. We note below the
last quotations of imports and exports.

" Who runs may read."

pORIMEGN.
Important news from China of the 20th of May and
from Bombay of the 19th of July will be found in an-
other part of The Sun. The details are interesting, but
they occupy so much space that we cannot give the sub-
stance of them in our summary. Captain Elliot has
managed to procure 11,000,0001b5. of tea for ready
money. The Emperor threatens the extermination of
the English barbarians.
The French Journals of Thursday are occupied with
the resignation of the Whig Ministry. In the Debats
we find the following remarks on the retiring speech
of Lord John Russell :—" This speech was, in
our opinion, admirable in every respect, and we
can easily understand. the applause from all parts
of the House, when the most eminent man of the Re-
form party spoke in few modest, but dignified words of
the zeal, disinterestedness, and purity of the motives
which had guided him in the discharge of his public
duties. It was one of the old friends, but now the
warmest opponent of Lord John Russell, who replied to
him by a well-merited eulogium upon his character and
talent."

• The Courricr Francais, hitherto so violent against the
Whigs, pays them the following parting compliment :
" The dishonest conduct of the Whigs towards France
shall ' not prevent our acknowledging that the
chitracter of most -of them, viz., of Lord Melbourne,
LOrd John Russell, Lord Morpeth, Lord Lansdowne,
Lord Clarendon, and Mr. Labouchere, is as wor-
thy of respect as their talent is -of admiration.
We bestow unqualified praise upon the reply of the
Queen to the Address of the House of Commons, in
which 4she expresSed her desire to follow the advice
of her Parliament, and said she would imme-
,diately adopt measures for the formation of a
new Ministry. The Queen thus recognises that
it is the majority which makes and unmakes the
Cabinets. She merely looks upon herself as the execu-
tive of the decisions of Parliament. She does not allow
her private predelections to interfere, and gives up her
own convictions. For her the sovereignty of the people
is not a vain word. Her example ought to find more
imitators in France."

The Constitutionnel also has the following remarks on
the care taken by all parties to disconnect the Queen's
name with the dissolution of the Whig Cabinet :
What is most remarkable in the proceedings in the
House of Commons is the care that has been taken on both
sides to disconnect the Queen from the political struggles
which have led to the resignation of the Cabinet. This
solicitude of all parties in England to respect royalty,
and keep it unconnected with parliamentary conflicts, is
an example which it would be well to follow in this
country, where, unfortunately, royalty is so frequently
made the object of discussion."
