debts, provided he would adjust the claims of his fol-
low ers. and dismiss them, and himself proceed to Bhopal
to have everything arranged, and live in quietness under
the eye of the authorities. He now considered himself
too strong to supplicate for that which he thought him-
self in a position to compel; and he spurned the liberal
offers and mild conditions of the Regency. The attitude
of defiance thus assumed was not destined to be long
maintained. his followers became discontented for
want of pay, and quickly quitted his camp. He seemed
now on the point of being compelled to come to Bhopal,
when Kurreem Khan, a refugee from the Nizam's do-
minions, joined him with a large retinue of men. The
position occupied was a strong one, and the force col-
lected quickly amounted to above 2,000, chiefly Rohillas
and Villaities—men who had everything to gain
and nothing to lose by adventure. Matters now
assumed a somewhat alarming aspect. The pcli-
tical agent was directed by the resident at Indore
to use the strongest remonstrances, and the malcontent
chief was warned of the consequences of his contumacy.
A day was fixed as the limit at which submission would
be accepted : the chief, the night before, betook himself
with his followers to the jungles. The state troops and
Bhopal contingents were sent out against him, and on
the third morning after his force was surrounded. The
insurgents seemed determined to maintain their position,
which was naturally a very strong one ; at last, after
having been repeatedly summoned to surrender, they
reluctantly complied, just as they were about to be
attacked. Though Ameer Mahomed Khan, with his
immediate attendants, came over to us, the Rohillas and
their chiefs remained obstinate, and, after repeated
warnings, the guns ,of the contingent opened on them.
The war cry was raised, and resistance at first was stout
and energetic ; an attempt was made to charge, but
the guns were too formidable ; and at the first shower
of grape they reeled, retreated, dispersed, and fled.
The Ameer's two sons were taken ; Kurreem Khan is
believed to have been slain, and the principal leaders
have fallen into our hands. The casualties in the con-
tingent were about 48 killed and wounded ; and on the
part of the Rohillas, abcut 250, and 120 prisoners. The
country is now quiet everywhere around, and thus has
ended an affair which, but for the promptitude and
decision with which it was encountered, might have
occasioned infinite annoyance and mischief.

to proceed forward to Ja',goo without reference to
arrangements in progress—a strong demonstration
of physical force being a powerful stimulant to
negotiation. On the sth Major Troup, commanding
the 15th Native Infantry, had died. He was much
esteemed and beloved by all who knew him. The people
throughout the country seemed well disposed towards
us. The roads were gcod, and the climate peculiarly
fine. The fertility and beauty of the country passed
through on the third march were the theme of universal
admiration. The Rime was expected to be got over on
the Bth, and Sarno° to be attained on the 14th or 15th.
This post was to be occupied by Brigadier Wheeler in
person, with the 15th, 30th, and 33d N. I. The 24th
and 59th were to be stationed at Jesrewta ; while the
41st was to move from Noorpoor to Samba, and there
be posted. Ilosheearpoor was to be occupied by a de-
tachment of the 44th, under Captain Anderson, in ab-
sence of the 59th. The following letter, published in
the Mofussilite, reached us after the above was written,
and gives the latest news we have seen from the
force :

" Camp, on the Banks of the Chenab, Oct. 15, 1846.
" The force arrived here on the morning of the 13th,
and were ordered to halt until further orders.
Much to our surprise, then, we received infor-
matiun last night, as soon as the Lahore force
under Brigadier Iluish should have advanced near
enough to support us, we were to cross the
Chenab, proceed to Beembur, and halt there. The 14th
and 59th, and Bth Irregulars, who were left behind
have also received orders to join as immediately. Beem-
bur is situated o❑ a sandy plain, beyond the Jalun, and
is said to command by its position the principal pass into
Cashmere. The Lahore Government force under Tej
Singh crossed the Chenab eight days ago, and will first
attempt the pass at Beembur. Should they be beaten, I
suppose we shall try what we can do—an event which all
eagerly look forward to. The force will probably not
march for three or four days. Our present encampment
is a most desirable one in every respect, being close to a
fine river, where those who like it can bathe or fish at
pleasure. Strange to say, though the country is most
fertile, and to the eye most likely for shooting, yet
scarcely a bird is to be seen. We passed by Sealkote
on the 11th, and inspected the fort, which is famous as
having held out for a long time last year against 30,000
men with guns, &c. It is certainly a strong fort, but
built on the native principle, and could not stand out
long against heavy guns properly served. The natives
seemed very prottd of it, and affirmed it was impreg-
nable. Nothing going on in camp, and not a Seikn to
be seen."

COMMERCIAL IN TELLIGENCE.
THE BOMBAY MARKET.
(From the Chamber of Commerce Gverk nd Price Current )
BOMBAY, NOV. 2.—Since the close of the Dewalle
bolidays, on the 22d ult., there has been an extensive
business done in piece goods. The dealers appeared
anxious to purchase during the early part of the fort-
night, whilst their demand was freely met by holders—
induced to realise by the advancing rate of exchange on
England. Few of the Marwarree dealers, who are gene-
rally our most extensive purchasers, having, however, as
yet come forward, the bazaar merchants appear within
the last few days more reluctant to increase their stocks.
It is alleged that the Marwarrees are deterred from mak-
ing purchases here by the state of the Calcutta market,
where manufactured goods are selling under the Bombay
rates, and from whence they are taking suppli, s in pre-
ference. The still disturbed state of political affairs in
the north-west, as well as the difficulty experienced by
these men in cashing their drafts, owing to the scarcity
of money and other causes, no doubt further contribute
to limit their operations.
Cotton Manufactures—The sales of the past fortnight
have been principally in grey and white shirtings, mada-
pollams, and grey and white jacconets. There have
also been considerable transactions in printed and fancy
goods. Grey madapollams and stout shirtings continue
in good demand, and realise full prices, say two to three
annas above those of the -early part of the season—
August and September. Domestics are not so much
asked for, the dealers not having disposed of their re-
cent purchases, but no reduction in price has been sub-
mitted to. In white jacconets of medium to good quality
a considerable advance has been realised, but the demand
is not extensive, and prices paid do nut cover costs of
goods long on hand, of which the stock chiefly consists.
s,,rey jaconets, particularly low qualities, are in request,
but the freedom with which the demand has been met
by some parties has prevented any improvement in price.
The supply of fine grey and white shirtings continues
small, and they have slightly advanced in value. Fine
white jacconets are also scarce.
Cotton Yarns—Considerable sales have had effect in
these. We quote a slight advance in Nos. 20, 30, 50, and
60 of mule, and also in Nos. 30 and 40 of water twist.
Woollens—We hear of no transactions in these; prices
remain unchanged.
Marine Stores—The only alteration of price in these
articles is in coal tar, which has declined from our last
quotations, 5} rs. to 4itai. per barrel. We have not heard
of any sales.
Beer—A sale has been reported to us of Tennent's at
48 rs. per hhd., which is an advance of 3 rs. per hhd.
on our last quotation ; other qualities remain unchanged
in price.
Spirits—We have not heard of any demaud, nor any
change in prices.
Saffron—First quality of this article is scarce, and in
request. A sale has taken place of 751 b. at 19 ra. per lb.
This price is an advance of of a rupee upon the last
sale made.
Cochineal—This article is in much request, and very
scarce. We hear of a sale having been made, and quote
an advance of 1 anna per lb. since our last price current.
EASTERN PRODUCE.
Cotton—Supplies of broach, Surat, and Dollera have,
during the past fortnight, come in to a considerable ex-
tent, and there are also a few arrivals of Comptah.
Previous to the arrival of the English mail of the 24th
of September, the market was exceedingly dull, and the
dealers anxious to realise at a reduction in prices. The
accounts by that steamer being considered very favour-
able, prices are now more firm, but as yet there has
been little disposition shown to purchase. 'We hear of
sales of 5,900 bales as quoted below. Very large ar-
rivals may shortly be expected from the interior. The
following are the current quotations:—
Surat hand Jumbooseer
Rs. 741 to 75 per candy.
Dollera „6B „ ditto.
Oomrawuttee
Comptah (old)
Sales of cotton during the past fortnight :-
4,000 bales of Broach
1,500 „ Dollera
400 candies of Comptah at rs. 70 per candy.
Coffee—ln Mocha we quote a slight advance—the
present price being rs. 7i- to 8, per maund.
Ginger has declined 10 rs- per candy of 5+ cwt.;
Opium—Little business has been done, owing to the
stock on hand being of indifferent kinds; arrivals of a
good quality are expected in llecenaber. The rate at
present is from rs. 1,050 to 1,150 per chest, according
to quality.
Pepper—Bhutcole and Malabar have both declined in
price, the former to rs. 55, and the latter to rs. 47, per
candy.
Wool—Considerable arrivals have taken place of Kho-
rassan and Persian qualities, which have been freely
purchased at full prices.
FREIGHTS.
Freights to Great Britain were for a few days after
the departure of the last mail firm at our then quotations,
but from the little inclination there was to ship, they
had begun to give way, and previous to the mail's arrival
72,;. 6d. appears to have been considered about the
value of tonnage. Since the arrival of the last mail two
ships have been taken up at 755., and there not being
very much usengaged tonnage in the market, the rate is
very firm at 755. to 80s.
MONEY MARKET.
In consequence of the opening of the Five per Cent.
Loan the banks, which had lowered their rate of
discount to seven per cent. on private bills have again
advanced it to nine per cent.; there is consequently some
scarcity of money, and an advance in exchange of about
id. per rupee, whilst Government paper shares and se-
curities generally have declined.
Five per Cent. Loan of 1825-26
Four ditto 1832-33
Four ditto 1835-36
Five ditto 1841-42 100
Four ditto 1842.43
Exchange—May now be quoted at Is. 11,id. to 2s. for
bills at six months' sight on England. On Calcutta at
GO days' sight, 981 rs. ; and on China, 207 rs. to 208 rs.
per 100 dolls.
Banks—Bank shares have fallen, as will be seen by
comparison with our last quotations. Commercial Bank
shares, transferable at two years, at par, but no transac-
tions. Below are the current rates of bank shares:—
Bank of Bombay rs.4o to 41 per cent. presti.

(From the Bengal Hurkant, Oct. 19.)
MONEY MARKET.

Since our last issue we have had little to notice in the
monetary world besides the downward tendency of Go-
vernment Securities, more especially in the Four per
Cent. Loans, both Siccas and Company's. Our quota-
tions will mark the rapid descent; but we are told that
no generally ruling rate has yet been established, vari-
ous circumstances having influenced individual transac-
tions. Beyond the sphere of those transactions we find
little alteration in the rates of accommodation in the
bazaar, and banks are at present passive. Since writing
the above the September mail is in, bringing about 20
to 22 lakhs in Government bills, with a more satisfac-
tory report of monetary affairs at home.
Exchange has varied a fraction favourable to the buyer,
and ls. lip. to is. up. to Ad. at 10 months' date,

matters are now evidently working, will most likely re-
sult in an attempt to burn out the whole foreign com-
munity. The sooner such a period of commotion arises,
if it is to occur at all, the better. The residents are
fully prepared to defend themselves, and although the
next gathering of the mob may evince a more
determined opposition than they have yet displayed,
with the assistance of the Hon. Company's steamer
Medusa, we have no fear whatever of the issue. In
our columns will be found the copy of a chop issued on
the 16th instant, wherein the number of the killed on
the Bth of July last is stated to be twenty; and for each
of these is demanded the head of a foreigner. Another
chop, of more recent date, in grandiloquence of language
peculiarly Chinese, utterly denounces an American gen-
tleman, an old resident amongst them, and who in his
professional capacity it might have been supposed had
gained their respect and esteem—warning him, that un-
less he renounces conduct which they deem objection-
able, he will one day, sooner or later, be massacred in
the open street. Our right to enter the city has never
yet been made available, and this fact will only induce
the belief of weakness or fear on our part, and add to
their bitter feeling of animosity that of ridicule and
contempt. Her Majesty's brig Wolverine, Commander
Clifford, proceeded to Canton on the 27th, some appre-
hension existing that a riot would occur on the follow-
ing day. Our Government, not satisfied with the effects
of their narrow-minded policy and petty system of legis-
lation, as evident in the present ruinous state of the
colony, have on a recent occasion manifested it to
the extent of an interference with the rights of private
individuals, subjects of an adjoining, State ; we
refer to the recent surrender of the two Portuguese
gentlemen (the full particulars of which case will be
found amongst our extracts from the local papers), who
sought a refuge on the island from an unfounded prose-
cution which threatened to deprive them of liberty, re-
lying, of course, on the boasted freedom of our flag. They
must have been wofully disappointed at finding, not only
the expected protection denied, but that the Government
should have gone to the extremity of transporting them
to Macao as prisoners on board one of her Majesty's
vessels, which circumstance, even acknowledging their
right of interference in the matter, would compel the in-
ference, that after a full inquiry into the charge against
them, and the strictest examination of witnesses, their
guilt had been fully established; but so far from this be-
ing the case, there are found to be no grounds even for
an indictment of a criminal nature. On the 30th ultimo
Rear-Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane proceeded to sea
with the squadron, it was said, on a cruise for the benefit
of the health of the seamen on board the flag-ship,
amongst whom much sickness prevailed, in consequence
of their late exposure and fatigue in Borneo. It is sup-
posed that the fleet are at anchor not many miles distant,
but nothing is positively known of their locality. The
Scout, Commander Loring, arrived on the 7th inst. from
the Cape of Good Hope, and departed again, we pre-
sume, to join the squadron. The only vessels of war in
port at present are her Majesty's ship Vulture and the
lion. Company's steamer Pluto, the latter vessel still
preparing. The French Admiral is still off the East
Coast, with -the Cleopatra, Sabine, and Victorieuse. It
is said that they have visited Japan, and their flag was
insulted. If such is the fact, we shall doubtless hear
more of them ere long in connexion with that country.
The apprehension which existed in the early part of toe
month for the safety of two vessels, the Lark and the
barque Warlock, has been allayed by the arrival of both
of those vessels at their respective destinations. The
clipper Warlock, we regret to say, was lost on the 15th
instant, near the entrance of the Chin-chew River, and
the whole of her valuable cargo plundered by the
natives. A general order by Major-General D'Aguilar,
dated Victoria, the 23d of September, 1844, suspends
from their respective duties Brigadier Chesney, com-
mander of the Artillery, and Mr. George Pett, the Ord-
nance storekeeper. The charge against these two officers
is not that they have in any manner sacrificed the inte-
rests of the public service, but that they have offended
the dignity of the Major-General in his high command,
and in not consulting him as to the wording of
their dispatches to the home authorities, in reference
to an extensive removal of ordnance stores during the
height of the rainy season, when it was reasonable
to suppose that they would be subjected to incal-
culable damage. As respective officers of the Ordnance
department, Brigadier Chesney and Mr. Pett had every
right to protest against an extensive removal of stores in
the month of June, as they are the officers directly re-
' sponsible to the home authorities, and they had an equal
right, we imagine, without consulting the Commander of
the Forces, to fortify themselves against any charge of
neglect that might hereafter be brought against them,
should any damage have resulted by the removal of the
stores in question ; but the Major-General, in his zeal
for the service, and his devoted love for military disci-
pline and subordination, has sacrificed his own private
feelings in the matter, and subjected himself to the pain
and mortification of suspending an old and valiant soldier
—and one, too, whose reputation does not altogether rest
on a long life of military service to his country, and that
but a month before the period of his command would
have expired. We hear that the Brigadier was refused
a court-martial on his conduct. The other gentleman
who suffers by this disinterested display of authority is
Mr. George Pott, whose demeanour during a residence
of upwards of two years on the island has earned for
him the esteem of all who have had the pleasure of his
acquaintance ; but we have no doubt that this gentleman
will be very speedily reinstated in office, for it is difficult
to believe that the authorities at home can deem it of
interest to the service to which he belongs, that the offi-
cers should be subject to such arbitrary control."

LAW IN TELLIGENCE.
COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Dec.. 1.

LIABILITY TO MAINTAIN A WIFE.-JEFFEREYS V. MAY.
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
By Mr. MARTIN—Knew that he was a man of pro-
perty from himself. He believed he did not keep a
servant, and that his daughter did the household
work whilst they lodged with him for about a year.
They appeared to live comfortably. He saw no ill-treat-
ment, and nothing amiss. When the recrimination al-
luded to took place, he heard Mr. May mention the name
of Mr. Levick. lie did not hear the name of a Mr.
Porter.

Mr. Bingham corroborated the conversation with re-
spect to the agreement.
Mr. John Wortley, Mrs. May's nephew, deposed to re-
ceiving his aunt with a black eye and a contused face,
and her saying that the injuries had been caused by Mr.
May. Saw Mr. May forcibly turn her from the house.
Cross-examined—His mother kept a tavern in Shef-
AlrstoMCahyeltgeonihnagm. She went to the
on one occasion to
fimealdneheßsetecro,llctbeuts
not
booksellerlelther and printer in Bristol,
husband. She went to
these places during the time she was living with her
husband. Had heard that she was a servant of all work
plaintiff's,hefore she who
ultimately is
a
to a Mr. Turner before she was married, but he believed
this was untrue, and that she was a governess in Dir.
Turner's family. He did not know whether she was
mariied or not. No person of the name of Levick was
in the habit of meeting Mrs. May at his mother's tavern.
Re-examined—Mrs. May went to Manchester because
the defendant had ill-used her.

Mary Ann Aright, who had been a servant in the
plaintiff's family, deposed to the residence of Mrs. May
and the condition in which she lived.
Mr. Aird, the plaintiff's solicitor, detailed the various
transactions which took place in the matter. Mrs. May
came to Mr. Jefferieg at Bristol in April 1843, and stated
that he would not be responsible for her maintenance in
she continued from borne.

This was the plaintiff's case.
Mr. MARTIN then proceeded to address the jury of
behalf of the defendant. He said great stress had been
laid on the value of the defendant's property; and that
he was in a fit condition to allow his wife, who was es-
tranged from him, 255. a week, but the very contrary
was the fact ; his whole property was not more than
130/. a year, out of which he had not only himself but
his family to support.
Mr. CROWDER said this was not correct. He could
prove by Mr. Aird that the defendant's property was
annually worth 2781. 10s.
Mr. Aird was called, and stated that he had made
inquiries at Sheffield, and stated that the property was
of nearly that value.
Mr. Martin and Mr. Compton appeared for the de-
fendant.

Mr. Martin proceeded—He said Mrs. May, who was a
handsome woman, was not a governess at the time she
was married to Mr. May, but lived on intimate terms,
' and in a menial situation to a friend of his. In the first
year of their marriage, when the children were very
young, some words ensued at dinner one day, and she
left the house, obtained 501. from Mr. May's banker and
absconded. She returned in 1836, and he aliowed her
to remain. The children had grown up, and he took
another house for them, and from 1836 to the time of
their final separation the children lived in one dwelling
and the defends.nt and his wife in the other, She was
in the habit of going at night to her sisters against her
husband's will, and returning late at night. On one
occasion her husband returned home and found her
absent and the bed unmade by her orders. As it was
not made by the time he usually went to bed, and as she
had not some home, he slept in the house his children
occupied. The next morning she took part of the fur-
niture and left him.
Mr. Justice ERLE considered that Mr. Martin ought
not to advert to circumstances anterior to the time Mrs.
should
11
oft May first rbs
et leftb her.g
on
eh::
as it band. If a man and woman sepa-
rated, and then again lived with each other, " bygones
was evident they must have
come to an understanding.
Mr. MARTIN was content not to trace the history of
the parties further than the occasion when Mrs. May
last left her husband. He admitted that he could not
adduce proof of the alleged adultery of Mrs. May, and
therefore he threw that part of the case overboard en-
tirely. He said he should call a number of witnesses be-
fore tlh-m, to show that no undue violence was used by
the defendant, who was a quiet, inoffensive man towards
his wife ; that she was not justified in leaving him, and
that she now remained absent from him against his wish,
and concluded by trusting that they would return a Ver-
dict for the defendant. Ile then called the following wit-
nesses :

Mr. King, an attorney of Bristol, proved that he, Mr.
May, and Mr. Unwin went to the house of the plaintiff,
on the 18th of April, 1843 ; that he demanded his wife ;
that the plaintiff denied she was there ; that Mr. May
offered to pay him
up to that time all that was due, and
he told him if lie kept his wife after that, he would do
so at his peril, adding " Why do you bring actions
against me for the maintenance of my wife, when you
know I want her to come back to me ?" The plaintiff
declined to tell him where his wife was, and refused the
tender of the money offered. Pointed out the advertise-
ment respecting Mrs. May in a Bristol paper.
Mr. Unwin e,trroborated the last witries's evidence.
Mr. May was aLr.ut 68 years of age; Mrs. May was 15
years yo finger. The property of the plaintiff had been
mortgaged. Should say he was worth about 1201. a-
year. Never heard any allegation of cruelty until this
action WWI bought,

Eliza Jones, one of the defendant's daughters, deposed
that Mrs. May left her father soon after their marriage,
and returned in 1836; on her return she and her father
lived in a separate house from the children. Never saw
her father at her feet or strike Mrs. May, and never saw
her with black eyes, though she was in the habit of seeing
her every day, Recollects the altercation referred to.
She went into the house with her brother in consequence
of hearing Mrs. May cry out "Murder," a cry she fre-
quently used without being struck or ill-used by her
father. Her hair was hanging about her neck and face.
Her brother asked her father what he had been doing,
to which he replied, " I declare to God I did not strike
her." She ran out of the room screaming " Murder!'
Did not make use of the expression about the " pie-
meat" imputed to her. Mrs. May often visited her
sister, and came home at ten, eleven, and twelve o'clock
at night, and when her father asked her where she had
been, she used to say, " That is my business—where I
have a mind." She left of her own consent, no violence
being used towards her.
Harriett May, another daughter of the defendant, cor-
roborated the principal part of her evidence, with this
addition—that she had heard Mrs. May call " Murder"
three times ; on each occasion her father was absent, and
no one gave her any provocation.
James May corroborated the evidence of his sisters,
and said the business which his father transferred to him
was worth 1,5001.

Other witnesses having testified that they never saw
any violence on the part of Mr. May towards his wife,
and having spoken to acts of violence and passion on her
part,
Mr. CROWDER replied.
_ _

Mr. Justice ERLE then summed up, and explained the
law to the jury. _

The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, damages
781. 155., the jury being of opinion that Mrs. May had
been treated with personal cruelty, and that she had no
reasonable ground to justify her in supposing that she
would have met with better treatment from the defendant
had she returned to his house.

The Court was occupied up to half-past six o'clock,
when the jury returned their verdict.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Dec. 1.
CUSTOMS FRAUDS-THE DIAMOND TRADE-THE
ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. ALLEN.

This was an information filed by the Attorney-Gene-
ral against the defendant, for having in his possession a
large quantity of diamond rings and other articles of
jewellery, alleged to be of foreign manufacture, and upon
which the duty had not been paid.
The defendant carried on business as a pawnbroker
in Clare-street, Clare-market, and the goods in question
were seized by the Custom-house officers upon two se-
parate occasions, in consequence of information given to
them by a female servant residing in the house of the
defendant.

The Attorney-General, Mr. Watson, and Mr. Pearson
appeared on the part of the Crown ; Mr. Montagu
Chambers and Mr. Wordsworth for the defendant.

On the part of the Crown witnesses were called to
prove the seizure of the goods from the house of the de-
fendant. Several jewellers were also called, who gave it
as their opinion that the articles were of a foreign
fabric, and got up for the purpose of " rigging " the
trade.

At the conclusion of the case on the part of the Crown,
Mr. M. CHAMBERS addressed the jury on behalf of the
defendant, and proceeded to call,
Mr. Hickman, working jeweller, of Rawetorn-street,
Clerkenwell, who proved that he had himself made the
articles in question. Several persons employed by him
also gave evidence of the articles having been made upon
the premises of Mr. Hickman.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, that after the positive
evidence which had been given on the part of the
defendant, he should consider it his duty not to proceed
any further in the case. He considered, however, that
there were sufficient grounds for the seizure of the
articles, and requested the Lord Chief Baron to certify
to that effect.

His LORDSILIP took the same view of the question,
and the jury accordingly returned a verdict for the
defendant.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Dec. 1.

WAREHA3I V. PRANCE, NASH, AND OTHERS.-THE GRE
