and he waned to know it her Malesty's Gov,,rnme-ot
were preparrql to take that course, io order that Sinde
might be placed under the control of a e:vil Government.

Sir J. C. I-10E11011SE said the House was ac-
quainted with the way in which Sinde had been attached
to India. It was perfectly true that the Government
was essentially milit try, and its affairs had hitherto
been admir.ist!red by reilie..ry men. There could be no
doubt, however, that the Governor of Sinde had faith-
folk and efficiently performed his duties. The system
ot Government might be bad, but there could be no
doubt that (4-1- at credit was due to General Napier for
the skilful manner in which he had mitigated some of
the evils of that system.—(Hear, hear.) He was quite
ready to admit that the maintenance of that military go-
vernment was of great expense to this country, but it
was quite impossible to have avoided that expense. The
inhabitants were a turbulent people, and it had been found
necessary to maintain this great force to keep them in
check. For the last three years, however, the
people had been most peaceable (Hear)—and
during that period General Napier had done
much for the improvement of Sinde by the construction
of canals, roads, &c. Still he must assure the Hon.
Gentleman the Member for Montrose, that both in the
opinion of the Indian Government and of her Majesty's
Government, it was not advisable that this mode of go-
vernment at present adopted in Sinde should last, but
the time had not yet arrived when the change could be
made. With respect to the opinion expressed by the
Hon. Gentleman, of the expediency of 1., storing Sinde,
he must confess that he did not agree with him in that
respect. Many great public writers entertained the same
view as his Hon. Friend, and still he could not help
doubting whether, if such an arrangement as that sug-
gested by the Hon. Gentleman were carried out, it would
be at all serviceable to, or consistent with, the peace and
prosperity of our Indian empire.—(Hear, hear.)
Sir R. H. INGLIS said there could be no question
whatever that the native princes of Sinde had been ot
great service to this country, in protecting her Indian
empire from outrage and attack, and if it were only on
that consideration alone, they ought to look forward to
the improvement and restoration of the country to the
natives, who were its rightful possessors —(Hear, hear.'
After a few words from Mr. HUME the subjec
dropped.

GRAND HEAT.

J. Maynard and E. Perry

Joseph Arthur and J. Wyld
In this heat the course was reversed; the men start-
ing from Vauxhall-bridge down to King's Arms-stairs,
up to Burnett's distillery, and back to Lambeth-stairs.
It was a capital heat all the way. The men all got away
well excepting blue, who having soon got to work well,
and with white and yellow were level. White then
slightly led, but blue and yellow both putting on a spirt,
were, off Wentzell's again oar and oar, in which order
they remained for three minutes. White then obtained
a good lead, and on the return up was, when off Lam-
,beth Palace, six lengths a head; yellow being second.
In this position the heat was finished.
BANKSIDE REGATTA.
The watermen at Bankside on Monday rowed for a
purse of sovereigns, subscribed by the inhabitants of the
Clink Liberty, Southwark. The contest was in three
heats, with several competitors, the course extending
from Blackfriars bridge down, round a boat off the
Phoenix Coal Wharf, up to Messrs. Horse's road, down
again to the Phoenix, and finished at Thames-streeet-
stairs.

CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY
A very limited supply of Wheat of home produce
was on offer here, hence the demand for all kinds was
steady, and Monday's quotations were firmly supported.
With Foreign Wheat we were well supplied, but the
quality being inferior selected samples moved off readily
at extreme currencies. In the middling and inferior
kinds, next to nothing was doing. The supply of Barley
was again small, nevertheless, the sale for that article
was very inactive, at unaltered figures. Tlaere was a
trifling
improvement in the sale for the best Ware Malt;
but other sorts were much neglected. The Oat trade
was tolerably stead at unaltered quotations. Beans,
Peas, Indian Corn,
yan, d Flour, were a slow sale, at late
rates.

EXTRAORDINARY CASE-THE VALUE OF A DOG.-WREN

v. SOFTLY.

This was an action for trover. The plaintiff sought
to recover the value of a dog, his property, detained by
the defendant.

The, plaintiff stated that on the 19th of February last
he lost a dog, and after the lapse of a month he ascer-
tained that it was in the possession of the defendant, to
whom he immediately applied for its recovery. The de-
fendant refused to deliver up the dog, alleging that it
was his property.
The dog, which was in court, was produced.
The defendant stated that he found the animal on the
23d of February, and he refused to give it up to the
plaintiff, as he thought it was not his dog.
The dog having been sworn to be the property of the
plaintiff, its restoration was ordered by the Learned
Deputy-Judge, the costs to be paid by the defendant.

NORTH WEST.

Our frontier continues in the most blissful state of
repose ; we have not one word of the least political
importance since our last, if we except, perhaps, the
announcement that Maharaja Ghoolab Singh has ex-
pressed his determination to make Cashmere his place
of permanent abode.—Delhi Gazette, May 26.
A letter from Feroz:Tore complains, in a still louder
tone than some which have preceded it, and with very
great justice, of the lamentable apathy displayed in
attending to the wants of the community in respect
to the ecclesiastical duties of the station. Death has,
since the letter was written, removed one of the
chaplains posted to Ferozepore, and we sincerely be-
lieve that the repeated instances of leave on medical
certificate granted to him, against the wishes of the
bishop and archdeacon, by the Lieutenant-Governor,
were fully justified by the then state of his health.
Indeed the treatment to which this unfortunate man was
subjected by his immediate superiors appears to have
been harsh in the extreme, to say the least of it. We
believe that Mr. Firminger, the second assistant chaplain
appointed to Ferozepore, is not, under present circum-
stances bound to join within a certain period of his
nomination, but considering the wants and frequently-
expressed wishes of the local community, we du not see
what great stretch of authority there would have been
in directing the Rev. Gentleman to join forthwith, in-
stead of travelling at his ease throughout the length and
breadth of the land. The not proceeding to his post at
once manifests, we grieve to say, a want of zeal which
should not appear in his class at least.—lbid.

THAMES.

At the opening of the court this morning several par-
ties, one after the other, were placed in the dock,
charged with assaults, &c., in all which cases no prose-
cutor appeared.
In one case, particularly that of Susanna Atkinson,
charged with crewing a disturbance, the police-constable
K 251 acknowleeged that he had not witnessed any part
of the transaction, upon which
Mr. YARDLEY observed he• had noticed that police-
constables in this district were by far too ready in taking
people into custody. It was well known that, particularly
in cases of assault, the party aggrieved was frequently
given in charge by the aggressors, as there was in all
such cases, generally speaking, most conflicting evi-
dence, and th party charging being on oath, their testi-
mony was generally received. Now, with regard to this
young woman no one appeared to press the charge, the
presumption therefore was, that she was innocent, and
if this were the case the constable had added greatly to
her wrongs by incarcerating her for the night. He
trusted these remarks w, uld have the effect of discounte-
nancing a practice which actually threatened to degene-
rate into a perfect nuisance. Policemen probably might
not be aware that in such matters they were liable to
have proceedings commenced against them for false im-
prisonment.

which has been published by Mr. Matheson, of

" Gentlemen,—Your present representative in Par-

soliciting your sutfrages,l beg to offer myself as a caudi-
date for the honour ot representing your burghs.
Having but recently returned among 3,u, after a
lung absence in the East, I woo d h_►ve hesitated to ob-

the very flattering invitations and promises of support
which nave been spontaneously tendered co me by a large
and influential body of your number, embracing in-
dividuais of all shades of opinion.
Whilst I approve of the principles of free trade, and
of
.the liberal line of policy pursued by her Majesty's
present Ministers, still, it I be so fortunate as to be re-
turned by you as your representative, it will be my study
to pursue an independen; course in Parliament, and to
support such measures as may seem to :enu to the gene
ral good, from whatever party they may emanate. My
hest services shall at ail times be devoted to your local
interests; and it will be to ir,e a source of no ordinary
gratification to be placed in the proud position I aspire
to, by a body of my own fellow•country men, and fur a
district with which I am so closely c.,nneetecl by my per-
sonal interests as well as by the ties of early friendship
and local attachments.

" Unavoidable engagements detain me in London for
a short time; but I hope in a few days to be enabled to
return to the Highlands, when I shall have the honour
of waiting personally on you, and of affording you such

grand civ is entertainment given to the members of
the Arinr.;nistration by the Right Hon. the LORD
MAYOR, It is befitting the generous character which
has latterly characterised the Legislature, that the
exertions_ of the Ministry, and especially the courage
they hay e evinced during an unparalleled accumula-
tion of liZeulties, should periodically receive some
Ruch public acknowledgment. It is appropriate,
moreover„ that these expressions of confidence and

tile line, and contended that the London and North-
Western Railway Company had no locus standi in opposition
to the preamble of the Bill.
Mr. WHEELER, on behalf of the London and North-
Western Company, maintained that that company had a
right to oppose the Bill, as it would be prejudicial to their
interests, was unnecessary and uncalled for, and would be
injurious to the interests of the public.
After some discussion, it was eventually decided that the
London and North .Western Company had no locus standi in
opposition to the preamble.
Evidence was then adduced on behalf of the promoters of
the line, and, after the examination of several witnesses to ,
show the traffic which might be expected, that the engineer-
ing works were practicable, and that the estimates were
sufficient for its construction, the room, was, cleared, and
on our re-admission,
The CHAIRMAN announced the
DECISION,
"That the preamble of the Bill was proved."
Some of the clauses were then agreed to, and the Commit-
tee adjourned tilt Frivay next.

SCUMS YORICSIIERE, DONCASTER, GOOLE
AND PENISTONE (SHEFFIELD, ROTHER-
HAM, BARNSLEY, wasEinzuca), HUD-

Earl Fitzwilliam gave general evidence in favour of this
scheme.
A number of other witnesses from the locality of the
lines bore testimony to the great benefit the adoption of
the scheme would confer on the trade and commerce of the
district through which the several lines would pass, and to the
importance which the population of those districts attached to
the various railways being placed under one management.
The whole of the day was occupied with this description of
evidence.

7'HE PATI:ILIAN.

The Patrician for this month contains a list of the
Knights of the Royal Oak proposed to lxy created by
Charles 11. The ninth of the curious trials connected
with the aristocracy is the trial of Capt. Goodere, fur
the murder of his brother—a trial interesting in
itself, and rendered still more interesting from the
fact that Sam Foote, the English Aristophanes, was the
nephew of the murderer and the murdered, and that
his first literary effort was a pamphlet in defence of
Captain Goodere, who notwithstanding his nephew's
exertions, was hanged, and hanged most justly. We
have also in this number some curious original letters
written by Gough, the antiquary, to the Rev. Mr.
Forster, and several other interesting articles.

RATHKEALE.

Yesterday morning one troop of Artillery, with two
guns, two companies of the 59th, and a body of the Bth
Hussars, under the command of Colonel Cator, proceeded
to Rathkeale, in consequence of an apprehended rising in
that district. There were reports in town last night of a col-
lision having occurred between the people and the troops,
wind that five men were shot. This morning, on inquiry,
we found that this was not true, and that all was quiet.
At Nantenant, however, the residence of Mr. Royse, an
attack was made— twelve stand of arras were taken, and
property, chiefly consisting of provisions such as bacon.
The accounts from Ennis are of a tranquil character.

STRANGE ACCIDENT TO HER MAJESTY'S 62D
FOOT.—We understand that her Majesty's 62d Foot may be
expected to arrive here about the 17th or 18th. On the 2d
inst., after passing Colgong, the regiment was very near
meeting with a disaster similar to that which happened to it
near the same place on the 6th of September, 1842. It came
on to blow a perfect hurricane, the fleet of boats was all die.
persed and cast on shore, but we are happy to report that
t here was no loss of life. Colonel Shortt, Captain Graves,
and Captain Olpherts, had a very narrow escape. Just as
their boat reached the shore it tock fire, and was burnt to
the water's edge in less than three rniuutes; everything on
board was destroyed, including the regimental colours.

Mr. John Lewis, market-gardener, of Axbridge, Mr. Richard
Lewis, woolstapler, of Axbridge, and Mr. H. Budgett, malt-
ster, of Chedder, also gave evidence in favour of the advantages
to be derived from the scheme of the Great Western Railway,
in that it would afford a more continuous line from the vari-
ous places in which they were interested to London.
Mr. G. Cox, miller, of Cheddar, and proprietor of the cele-
brated stalactite cavern in that place, said that the con-
tinuation of the railway would bring an increased influx of
visitors to his property. At the conclusion of his examina-
tion he handed, with the utmost gravity and amid consi-
derable laughter, to the several members of the Committee
a bill setting out the wonders of the cavern, and expressed
to them the pleasure which he would derive by their paying
a visit to the- cave in gdestion.
Colonel Coles, magistrate of the county of Somerset, stated
the importance of Wells being placed in connexion with the
principal towns of. Somersetahire, as proposal by the Great
Western Railway schemes.
