THE AFFGHANISTAN EXPEDITION.

FORT WILLIAM, FEB. 15.—POLITICAL DEPARTMENT.--
The Right Honourable the Governor-General of India in
Council is pleased to direct that the subjoined extracts
fiom a despatch from Major-General Sir W. Cotton,
K. C. 8., dated the 22d ult., of the result of an attack
made on the 18th ultimo, by the detachment under his
command .on the fortress of Peshoot, shall be published for
gcneral'dformation.
I b'sd the honour to acquaint your Lordship, in my
despatch of the 10th instant, that in consequence of a re-
gl•.lsition from the Envoy and Minister, I had detached—

i - 3 9-Pounders.
1 1 Troop 2d Cavalry.
1 Wing 39th N. I.
F.,oth European Regiment.
110 Sappers.
A Regiment Shah's Infantry.
1 1 Regiment Shah's Cavalry, 700 strong, under C. N.
Christie.
Lieutenant-Colonel Orchard, C. 8., of the European
regiment, with the force named above, to reduce the
firtress of Peshoot, distant about 50 miles N. N.E., and
endeavour to capture or dislodge a refractory chief, who
had, with a body of armed followers, established himself
th,ereir.

I big leave to forward for your Lordship's perusal a
desp-,tcit I yeserday received from Lieut.-Colonel Orchard,
by woieh I am sorry to observe that, notwithstanding 4
lorg and steally attack upon the gateweer, which was repre-
sented to the 'Lieut.-Colonel as the only assailable point,
yet, owing to the inelenacney of the weather (though the
outer gate: was demolished by the fire of the nine-pounders,
and the bags of powder were twice laid against the inner
one), yet from the heavy rain they totally failed in the
object received, awl the troops were obliged to be r:•cailed
( ny the Lieut.-Colonel, whc,, I regret to state, suffered a
4 severe loss, having .had 65 killed and wounded ; and
amongst the latter, Lieutenants Coalmen of the 37th, and
Hicks, Mei regiment.
Akin, tl. attack was unfortunately not successful
against the gate, yet the effect showed itself by the enemy
evacuating the fort of Peshoot, and also that of Kelake on
; he o'her side of the river, a short time after the troops had
retired.

pito.coßN-LAW PETITION.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Lyme Regis, April 3, 1840.
Sts,— The following anecdote may serve to illustrate
the manner in which the Corn-law petitions are got up in
the country places, and may be depended upon for its ac-
curacy, as 1 have just been told it by the father of one of
the children, a very decent resneetabk fellow :
At Pcntney, n village near Lynn, the corn monopolists
applied to Mr. Mundy, the schoolmaster there, for 14'ave
fur the child; en to sign the petition, which was granted.
On of the children, upon his return home in the evening,
irfoycne2 his tether what bad been done at the school—
that tlitv 110 all signed the petition, and were promised
by the ge-m.l4..nan that they ware to have a journey to
" Lunnun," 1.37 }vay of a frolic. " Why, you dog !" the
father exclaimed. 0. you have been signing for a dear loaf.
and then what must become of your poor mothler,
cri andd
little brothers and sister ?" '` Oh, dear I oh, dear "
know
the child, " what have done indeed dear oh
I had n
ned
what it vas about, I am sure I vi'ruld pot. have sig it
f r all the gentlemen in Pentney." This happened about
H.
ten days since.
London, England, 1840-04-06

The Anti-Corn-Law Delegates very propel

resolved, on Saturday, that " they are not dis,
couraged by the result of the late debate, that they
derive new determination, as they find new motives
for exertion in all that has occurred—that they
feel their various arguments are unanswered, their
cause strengthened, and their confidence in ultimate
triumph unabated." They accordingly " pledge
themselves to one another, and to the nation, not
to relax until the mighty grievance be removed."
For both these conclusions we see, and shall state,
we think, sufficient reasons.
The Delegates, who are not so familiar as we
are with the proceedings of the House of
Commons, may not be aware that almost
as much may be inferred from the tone
and manner of Sir ROBERT PEEL as from his
matter. Now all who heard him, and who are ac-
quainted with Parliament, remarked that his tone
and manner on Saturday had lost much of that con-
fidence with which he in general addresses the
House. He said indeed, and it was obvious he
felt, that the Corn-law question is environtd with
difficulties. Few and far between, compared to the
speech of last year, were the cheers which he re-
ceived from the Corn-law men. They were as well
convinced as we are that he made out no case
for them, that, in fact, he half gave up their
cause, and their yells were as much the off
spring of a beginning despair as an achieved triumph.
In the distinct proof that his speech gave that the
present Corn-laws are indefensible, and that he is
not, despite his words, heartily disposed to defend
them, the Anti. Corn-law men have ample reason
to justify their continued exertions and their confi-
dence in ultimate success.
To a considerable extent the fallacies of Sir
R. PEEL'S speech were ably pointed out on Satur-
day by Mr. E. BAINES, and that ought now to be
frequently
Corn-law press, till the motion be again brought
done by the Delegates and the Anti_
forward by Mr. VILLIERS. To show up Sir
ROBERT'S
ignorance or bad faith, and to harp
upon the great fact that the " tyrant majority" (we
thank the Tory journals for the phrase) of land-
owners suppressed the discussion by negativing an
adjournment of the debate, should now engage the
attention of the "Anti-Corn-law party. Though

NEWS FROM INDIA.

We have received interesting intelligence from Bombay
to the 29th of February, from Calcutta to the 17th of the
same month, and from Canton to the 4th of Januar:, inclu-
sive. At Calcutta troop-ships were prepa!foag to convey
10,000 men to China. The prevai.l;ing impression was
that, on the arrival iet the trorps, immediate possession
would be taken of the Island of Formosa, which would be
held till the Emperor should pay an indemnity in full for the
whole of the illegally seized opium. The Island of Formosa
a one of t'ee most salubrious and fertile on the Chinese
coast, an "a has long served for a rice granary to the province
of Queeig Tong, or Canton. According to Wilde's recently
1 puhr.shed Map, the inhabitants do not quite amount to
half a million, of which the majority are fishermen and
agricultural labourer... This step, of which we highly ap-
prove, would not involve an unnecessary loss of either life
or property, and would make a much more lively impression
on the Court of Pekin than the destruction of the city of
Cantos,.beoause it would indicate a determination to form
a permanent establishment on the frontier.
The trade with China continued suspended on the 4th of
Januar:, Captain Elliot bad in vain made overtures to
the High Commissioner for re-opening the trade as before.
Lir's answer was, that the Emperor had commanded the
trade with England to be for ever stopped,' and an edict
Ihad appeared, addressed chiefly to the Ame:lcan and Dutch
merchants, commanding them to sign a bond not to bring
British goods of any description lien) that country. In
act, our cottons are now as much an article of contraband
as our opium. In addition to this, the native authorities
are forbidden, under penalty of death, to hold any inter-
course with the " English barbarians." Superintendent
Elliot's conduct in proposing the re-opening of the trade
pending t'Ae preparations of the Government here to exact
oomneersation4 is wholly inexplicable. In fact, since the
day e his forcible detention at Canton, the Superintendent
ims exhibited in his conduct symptoms of having suffered
in his intellect by the insult then offered to him. Before
that time he behaved with great firmness, temper, arid de-
cision on the most trying occasions ; but, from the date o f
his being made a prieorer, his vacillations cannot be ac-
counted for on any re.ional principle.
Another ineide'et had occurred, of which the result was
locked forward to with some anxiety. The Captains of
two Englis)e vessels having signed the ooiurn bond, were
permittee to pass up the river. A British merchant, to
%%hone one of them was consigned, attempting to folio,/ her
in -a boat, was seized by the revenue officers, and sent a
pr I.:x.ller to Canton. Superintendent Elliot lost no time
in demanding his release from the High Comrniesioner,
but no answer was received up to the date of these adviees.
In British India the greatest political tranquillity pre-
vailed.

in sale. In Beans and Peas no alteration. Oats of good
quality supported their value, tender descriptions met a dull
sale. In the Flour trade no variation.

THE ARCH IMEDES STEAM

VESSEL.

(From the Detionport Indepekdent.)
PLYMOUTIL-This fine vessel, burden 240 tons,
and of 80-horse power, which it will be recollected
was built in the river about eighteen months since,
and is propelled by one engine, named the Archi-
median Screw, wholly confined under her bottom,
arrived at this port a few days since, and came
up into Hamoaze, where she was visited by Sir
Graham Moore, Admiral Warren, Captain Mann-
sell, and other naval and professional officers,
who, for the purpose of attesting her qualities,
proceeded in her about ten miles beyond the
Breakwater. The result of their investigation
will be best explained by the following informa-
tion, furnished by an officer on board:—" Blow-
ing a fresh - gale at West, with a heavy sea ;
Archimedes steamed head to wind to the Ram-
Head—speed about 6,1 knots per hour. We then.set
sails, reeled, and went 9 knots per hour, running
out close-hauled towards the Eddystone. After a
time we disconnected the screw propeller, and went,
under sails alone, seven knots, with a heavy
cross sea. The fore-throat tye-chain broke, and
the gaff came down by the run, but the ship,
to the surprise and admiration of all present,
tacked without her foresail. We then connected
the propeller, set the foresail again, and furled the
mainsail, running in again free, at a speed of ten
knots. The Admiral's yacht, with all sail, running
free also, but dropping astern. Arriving in Ply-
mouth Sound, the engine was stopped and reversed,
when the ship ran astern five or six knots. Proceed-
ing on again, we steamed up Hamoaze, without sails,
and ran round the San Josef twice, and in and out
among the hulks, like a jolly-boat, in a manlier
which elicited general applause. The naval office's,
and indeed all on board, were delighted.

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.

GRAND SURREY CANAL COMPANY V. HOLL.
This was an action of trespass against the defendant for
crossing a bridge over the Surrey canal with a horse and

chaise.
The defendant pleaded a right of carriage-way for
all subjects at every time of the year.
In 1804, it appeared there was some private land be-
longing to Mr. Bowles, which land was purchased by the
Grand Surrey Canal Company, for the purposes of the
canal ; and it appeared that the bridge in question was
erected for the convenience of the tenants of Mr. Bowles.
The public, it appeared had passed over the bridge without
any interruption from 1822 to 1833.
The case was tried before Lord Chief Justice Denman
at the Surrey Assizes. His Lordship directed the jury
to give their verdict for the defendant, if they thought an
idea had sprung up in the public mind of an intention in
the Company to dedicate the bridge to the use of the
public.
The Jury accordingly gave their verdict for the de-
fendant.
Mr. Sergeant CHANNELL and Mr. CHAMBERS showed
cause yesterday against a rule obtained by Mr. Thesiger
for a new trial, and contended that the direction of Lord
Chief Justice Denman was right, and that a right of way
had arisen to the public in consequence of the usage
from 1822 and 1832.
Mr. THESIGER and Mr. Sergeant SHEA now appeared in
support of the rule, and urged that the Lord Chief Justice
ought to have left it precisely to the Jury to say whether
there was an intention of the Company to dedicate, and
not whether an idea had sprung up in the public mind of
an intention to dedicate. Another argument against any
intention to dedicate was, that the bridge was a swivel
bridge, and need not be closed after a vessel had passed
through, as the public bridges were, or otherwise the
Company were subject to indictment, and it appeared that
they had never been compelled to close the bridge by the
public. Another argument against an intention to dedi-
cate was, a toll had been levied on the public, and not
upon the tenants of Mr. Bowles.
The COURT thought that there was an intention to de-
dicate, and that it was impossible not to understand the
direction of the Learned Judge, as implying whether the
Surrey Canal Company intended to dedicate. The rule
for a new trial was therefore discharged.

LONDON' MAGAZINE.

There is a good deal of fun and frolic fancy in
this Magazine, and especially in the present Num-
ber, which is besides embellished with a clever
portrait— closely bordering on caricature—of the
Marquis of Londonderry, in his robes as King of
the late celebrated Eglintcu❑ Tournament. A brief
biographical notice of the Noble Marquis accom-
panies this engraving, wherein his merits as a sol-
dier—and we believe they are far from inconsider-
able—are duly icsisted upon. The " Diurnal Re-
volutions of Davie Diddledoft" arc droll and satiri-
cal as usual.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S-YESTERDAT.

From two o'clock, until past seven, the room was so
thronged that to get in or out was a work of great dialeulty.
Betting, notwithstanding, was slack about all except the first
three, who were backed heavily. Launcelot ruse at one timt
to 2 to I, taken to several hundred pounds. 5 to 2 was
afterwards laid to a small sum, but the last bet
to any amount was 900 to 400. The Melody dolt,
although only second in c3rnmand, was in high
favour, 4 to I, and in some instances 7 to 2 having been closed
with to considerably above a thousand pounds ; 7 to 2
was the offering price at the finish. Assassin's friends
were not wanting ; 13 to 2, 11 to 2, and 5 to 1 were
taken by several parties, and at the middling of
of the three quotations, plenty were ready to " invest." Theou
was not so much in favour, but 9, 91, 10 and 10 to 1 were
taken in the course of the afternoon. Pathfinder, Scutari,
Drayton (said to have pulled up lame after a gallop), said
Mulev Ishmael and Prince Albert reported to be amiss.
Th.e Oaks betting was confined to three, and the betting was
very dull ; a report was in circulation on Sunday evening that
Black Bess was amiss, and one party, v e t iderstand, was bold
enough to bet 1000 to 10 against her, n f-tce of which 10
to 1 was taken yesterday in hundriit's, tino several parties
anxious to back her. Closing prices:—

CULTURE.

The first article in this Number is by 'Air.
Monteath, jun., of Closeburn, " On a New Method
of Feeding Sheep on Turnips." It is written with
care, and shows that the author had made himself
practically acquainted with the subject. The Ru-
pert on the Coal-field of Dunfermline, by one of
the Ministers of that town, will be read with inte-
rest, by those fond of mineralogy. It obtained the
prize of twenty guineas from the Highland Society,
and is highly creditable to the industry and perse-
verance of the Reverend mineralogist. The ►r.ap of
Dunfermline Coal-field, which accompanies the
Report, is beautifully executed. Want •of space
prevents us from noticing the other contents of the
publication.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

Mr. Kean, who has recently returned from the United
States, and has been engaged for a limited number of
evenings at this theatre, made his appearance last evening
in the character of Bandit. The house was full, and the
audience received him with the greatest enthusiasm. His
acting in this favourite character is wrll known, and re-
quires no comment. We shall be delighted to see Mac-
ready and him acting together in some of Shakapeare's
plays. Tragedy every night is too much, and besides, the
effect is greatly enhanced when two brilliant stars shine
together. At the end of the play Mr. Esau wag called,
and hailed with hearty acclamations.

TO 7'HE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sirt,—To iou, as one of tile most powerful and acknow•
ledged guardians of those rights, and redressors of those
wrongs which the laws of cur country reach only through
a.vvell-filed purse, I appeal for the protection of the cha-
racter of my imprisoned husband, Mr. James Bronterro
O'Brien. rose his incarceration in Lancaster Castle
cer:ain interested persons have presumed to keep his narno
before the public in connectiot, with the Southrn Star
Sunday Newspaper ; with which, or any other publication,
my husband could not possibly have any concern or interest
since the priod of his confinement. The most vexati,,us
part of this unprincipled tr2.nsaction,however, is the fsct that
to each succeeding Number of the publication in question
the persons conduciing it gate that the same is published
for thy, benefit of Mr. O'Brien and fam7ly, whereas, so far
from ever receiving any benefit, such eleemosynary means
cf sub,;istence would but ill accord with ,Mr. O'firien's or
my own idea, and h;...bits. . .

TruF.ting to Jour readmesq in redressing grievous
wrong, and to the reputation of my imprisoned husband,
for the publie3tion of this letter,
I have the honrur to be, Sir,

GRAND JURY LESS BILL.

Lord MORPETH proposed to take the Committee on
this Bill.
Mr. Sergeant JACKSON said at that hour (half-past
twelve), it was really " too bad."—( Hear.)
Mr. BROTHERTON expressed acquiesence in that
sentiment.
Lord MORPETH said the Government did not care
much about the Bill, but in the other House it was said
that the Corporation Bill could not be gene on with with-
out thiS Bill.—( Hear, hear.)
Mr. JACKSON said that Bill could not go on without
this—they were inseparably connected.
I ord MORPETEI—Now really just see what is said.
Last year se were told that the two Bilk were utterly un-
connected ; now it is made the pretext for delaying the one
that the other should go with it. It does look as if there
was a settled design, on whatever pretence, to stop the
Muoicinal Bill, and deny it a fair discussion.—( Hear, and
cheers),
Mr. Sergeant JACKSON vehemently denied the Noble
Lord's assertion.
Mr. PIG OT energetically repeated the Noble Lord's
statement. •

Sir R. BATESON violently controverted Mr. Pigot's
representation, and moved that the House adjourn.
Lord MORPEtH said, in the face of such an op-
position he would not go on.
Serge:lnt JACKSON said he had waited in the House
day after day,—week after week,—till past midnight, for
this Bill. Why did not the Noble Lord bring on the Bill
earlier in the evening. The Noble Lord was a Member
of the Government, and could commend his time.

Lord J. RUSSELL said, as to time, other Bills of
greater importance had occupied the House for some time
past, and Hon. Gentlemen on
.the Opposition side must not
imagine that no business of importance would ever come
on after 12 o'clock —( Hear, hear.)--..J1i1l put off.
Lord J. RUSSELL brought in the Clergy Reserves
(Canada) Bill, which was read a first time, and ordered
to be printed.

THE COLONIAL MAGAZINE.

In an article on the " Past and Present State
of the American Navy," a clever writer in this
Magazine maintains that America is by no means
so formidable a naval power as Mr. Cooper would
have us believe, and that the hindrances to her
ever being so, save at an immense expense, are
nearly insurmountable. Along the whole seaboard
coast of the Atlantic, America has not one conve-
nient harbour accessible at all times to ships of the
line. Harbours, then, must be created, and that is
only to be done at an enormous outlay. The other
hindrances we may notice in conjunction with the
whole subject on a future occasion. But with
such difficulties to contend with, the progress of
America in rearing a navy commands our admira-
tion. It apears that at • the close of last sear the
American navy numbered eleven ships of the line,
seventeen frigates, twenty sloops of war, four brigs,
eight schooners, one steamer, and a store ship, ex-
clusive of merchant vessels and packets of every
size. The articles in this periodical arc all on
practical subjects, many of which are treated with
much ability. The first is on the forms of govern-
ment established in the British colonies—an useful
question clearly treated. The moral, physical, and
political condition of Van Diemen's Land, and the
religious wants of New South Wales, are subjects
of very general interest among the educated classes
.11 this country. On Emigration to the Canadis,
.and the Church Land Question in the Upper Pro-
•vinee, we likewise find very clever articles in this
Number, which those interested in our colonial
prosperity will read with lively interest. This :pe-
riodical is simply what it purports to be—a colonial
organ, where every variety of information respecting
the colonies is to be sought for—and found. But
of poetry, fiction, or what is called light reading,
the Editor appears to have as who►esome a horror
as old Jeremy Bentham and his worshippers, the
Bo ovring-onian utilitarians.

I liberation of any person now in custody. He was led to be-
lieve that Mr. Bejet, who was one of the richest men in
Lower Can,d,i, had been concerned in giving aid to a most
atrocious rebellion, which had been accompanied with some
most cruel, revolting, and sanguinary murders. But, as
the Hon. 'and Learned Gentleman had just acknowledged,
Mr. Bejet, if he had given the required sureties, would not
have been detained in custody. If this Bill should be
passed, and if a representative form of Government should
again be restored to Canada, be was quite sure that there
would be:a desire to overlook all that had occurred, so far
as was consistent with the security of the province. He
had no doubt that under such circumstances the restrictive
system would no longer be continued.—( Hear. )
Sir C. GREY said, that his impression with respect
to Mr. Bejet was, that he, being one of the richest men in
Lower Canada, had given encouragement not to those
who bad embarked in the rebellion, but to the setting.up of
those newspapers, which had supported the same princi-
ples that were avowed by those who were concerned in
that dangerous and delusive enterprise,--( Hear, hear.)
The report was then agreed to ; and the Bill was ordered
to be engrossed, and to be read u third time on Friday
scsneight.

THE DUBLIN MAGAZINE.

Notwithstanding the beauty and freshness of
" Some Stray Leaflets from the German," and the
humourous adventures of " Charles OsAlallev,
the Irish Dragoon," the June Number of the
Dublin Magazine has a dull, wintry aspect.
" Lord Stanley's Registration Bills," of which the
public has already had a surfeit, occupies fourteen
pages ; while double that space is devoted to a
character of Swift, which we have read without
any admiration either of the writer's powers of
discrimination, or his impartialit). He represents
the Dean as a pure patriot, a sincere friend, and
as a man capable of all the impassioned ardour
of love. This, to speak plainly, is all fudge.
Swift was patriotic from spite, and friendly from
self-interest, either courting favours, or indulging
the caprices of petty tyranny. Love he could not,
for he was a man without a heart. In wit and
coarse humour, he had no rival, but to the learn-
ing of a sound Divine he had no pretensions, and
we would require stronger evidences than are to be
found in his " Examiner's," and his " Drapier's
Letters," to rank him with even the second class
of great statemen. The " Portrait Gallery" is
embellished with the fine intellectual-looking coun-
tenance of the Irish Surgeon-General Sir Philip
Crampton.

STATISTICAL ACCOUNT OF SCOTLAND.

No. XXV I.

This Number contains accounts of eleven parishes
in Lanarkshire—a district celebrated for the deter-
mined stand made by the Covenanters against the
ecclesiastical tyranny of the Stuarts. The occa-
sional notices of the stirring events and remarkable
characters of those days, therefore, give an agree-
able variety to the statistical details. It is also
celebrated in modern times for the quantity and ex-
cellence of its fruit. The parish of Carluke
alone produces nearly one-third of all the fruit
raised between Hamilton and Glasgow. That
parish boasts also of the largest fruit-tree in Clydes-
dale, the largest quantity of fruit procured in recent
times from one tree, amounting to 3,000 pounds
weight, and also the oldest fruit-tree in that district
(a Longueville pear), said to be 300 years old.
The Number is accompanied with a map of Argyle-
shire.

CITY FISH MARKET.

Trade was good with a fair supply, which, however, chiefly
consists of inferior sorts. Salmon Is. to 4s. per lb. ; Turbot,
45. to 20s. ; Lobsters, Sd. to 3s. 6d. ; Mackerel, 6d. to 9d. ;
Soles 4d. to 3s. per pair.
SMITHFIELD AND WHITECHAPEL HAY MARKET.
A very good supply, but the demand was languid. Clover
Hay 51. to Si. 10s. ; ,Meadow Hay 50s. 6d. to 80s. ; Straw
325. to 345. per load.
TEA MARKET.

The Public Sales progressed heavily, but prices wero not
low—a small portion only was sold, consisting chiefly of Fine
Congou, which went at 2s. 3d. to 2s. 3id. per lb. ; Company's
Congou very dull of sale at 2s. lid. per lb.
COLONIAL MARKET.

The prices of Colonial produce did not undergo any variation,
though the tendency was evidently for a fall. The public sales
were small, and went off without spirit, and a part only sold.
In West India Sugar the purchases were trivial, but the impor-
ters continue to show firmness, and full prices were paid. The
Mauritius was all sold at 625. to 695. The Coffee was very
dull, and but iw lots were sold. Jamaica middling 114 s. to
115 s. per cwt. Bice was inquired after, and 12s. to 13s. was
paid for Bengal.
