Great quantities of mackerel have been taken off this
coast by our boats during the present week. From 4,000 to
10,000 have been brought in daily by every boat (and
Hastings boats included, there has not been less than 20)
(luring the week. One Brighton boat took 7,000 into Ports-
mluth on Wednesday, which fetched 70/. Another (a
Hastings btat) brought 6,300 into Brighton on Thursday,
which fetched 801. Prices, which are from 20s. to 245. per

quantities for their own supply, of which, as Lent is approach-
ing, is very considerable.—Brighton Herald.
A new Roman Catholic chapel has been opened at

A NEW DI,EASE.—A physician of Vienna has dis-
covered a new and terrible disease, to which the workmen in inciter-
match manufactories alone are exposed. it commences with pains
in the teeth and cheek bones, and breaking out openly on the re-
moval of a tooth, when it inflames the periosteum of the jaw-bones,
gangrenes, and produces an injurious caries, causing consumption,
and thus painfully putting an end to the sufferer's life. The cause of
the disease is supposed to be the arsenic in the phosphorus. An offi-
cial inquiry is ordered.— Cologne Gazette.
The Bey of Tunis has issued an edict declaring the
blacks throughout his dominions free. A
LADY JOCKEY.—At the great steeple chase in
Gallia (La Croix de Berny), on 19th April, a second Mrs. Thornhill,
it is expected, will jump into the pigskin, and contest the break-
neck for 30,000 francs. " The lioness" has hitherto had her roarings
listened to with deference; what will be the re,ult when She
enounces in unmentionables ?

THE WAR IN INDIA.
OFFICERS KILLED, &c.
Sin ROBERT HENRY SALE, G.C.B.—This much lamented
officer was the second son of the late Colonel Sale, for many
years an active officer of the East India Company, by the
daughter of Henry Brine, Esti., of Buckden, Huntingdon-
shire. He was born in 1782, in the north of Ireland, and
married in 1809 the daughter of the late George Meyrick,
Esq. Sir Robert entered the army as ensign in the 36th
Foot in 1795, being then but 13 years of age. His commis-
sions are thus dated :—Lieutenant, April 12, 1797; Captain,
March 23, 1806 ; Major, December 30, 1813 ; Lieut.-Colonel,
June 2, 1825; Colonel, June 26, 1838; Colonel-in-Chief of
the 13th or Prince Albert's Regiment of Light Infantry, Dec.
15, 1843. He served at the battle of Molerelly, and siege and
storm of Seringapatam, in 1799: for the latter he received a
silver medal. Was present throughout the campaign in the
Urgand country in 1801 ; served at the storming of the
Travancore lines in 1809, at the capture of the Mauritius in
1816, and of Rangoon in 1624 ; particularly distinguished
himself at the storming of the stockades near Kemmenline,
and in conducting the operations of the sth, Bth, and 15th
of December, 1824. Commanded a brigade at the reduction
of Bassiere, &c., in 1825 ; was nominated a C. B. for his
conduct at Prolue and Malouri in 182546. In October,
1838, was appointed to the command of the Ist Bengal
brigade of the army of the Indus, which formed the advance
in the campaign in Affghanistan ; commanded the storming
party at Ghuznee, under the late Lord Keane, on the 23d of
JOY, when he was severely wounded. Shortly afterwards
he was nominated a K.C.B. and received the rank of major-
general in Affghanistan ; he was also presented with the
second class medal of the Order of the Dooranee empire.
He commanded the force sent to subdue the Kohistan
country in September, 1840, and after numerous
stormings and captures, compelled Dust Mahommed
Khan to surrender himself to the care of Sir William
M`Naghten ; for these distinguished services he received the
first class order of the Dooranee empire. In 1842 he defended
Jellalabad under very disadvantageous circumstances, and
was nominated a G.C.B. for his services on the occasion.
He as well received the thanks of Parliament for his skill, in-
trepidity, and perseverance displayed in the military opera-
tions in Affghanistan. He possessed three medals, viz.,
for Ghuznee, Caubul, and Jellalabad. He closed his career
in the arms cf victory, after nearly fifty-two years serfice,
and at the advanced age of sixty-three.
The 13th Foot, which Sir Robert commanded, returned to
this country a few months since.
SIR JOHN lil‘Gastuer.—This officer entered the service
on March 10th, 1797. Was appointed Lieutenant, May 14th,
1801 ; Captain, March 6th, 1806; Brevet Major, August 12,
1819; Regimental Major, March 11th, 1824; Lieut.-Colonel,
February 17th, 1825 ; Colonel, June 28th 1838. He was at the
landing at Port Rico, and seige of St. Juan, May, 1797. On
passage to India when the fleet under command of Sir T. Trou-
bridge was attacked by*the French Admiral Linoisin, in the
Marengo (84), a heavy frigate, and another ship, August,
1805. He was present at the sieges and captures of Forts
Sattarak, Singbure, Woosutch, and a great many others.
Also at the reduction of the strong fortress of Shalapore,
and the attack and dispersion of 5,000 of the Peshwa's
choicest troops, strongly posted with their guns, fifteen ,
of which were captured under the walls of the fort,
May 11th, 1818.
The Governor-General lost no less than four of his staff,
as will be seen on reference to the list ; and one of his body
guard. The loss altogether amongst the staff officers was
no less than fifteen.
According to the returns as yet received, the loss, parti-
cularly of old officers, on the part of her Majesty's regiments,
was much greater than that of the Company's, the returns
of which would appear to be exceedingly imperfect, from
the fact of no lists having been published respecting thirteen
regiments.
The following brief analysis may not be uninteresting
3d (King's Own) Light Dragoons—Number of officers, 48.
Killed 5; wounded, 2. The list of killed includes Captain
jerries, understood to be related to the Right Hon. J. C

Herries, late Chancellor of the Exchequer. He was one of
the aides• de-camp to the Governor-General. He entered the
army in 1835, and he also served as aid de-camp to Sir
Joseph Hackw•ell at Maraejpore on the 29th of December,
1843. George Wyvelham Knight Bruce, cornet, but de-
scribed as lieutenant, son of Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce.
This young gentleman only entered the army in 1844.
9th Foot—Officers killed, 3, including the lamented Sir
John 31‘Gaskill.

29th Foot—Four killed and one wounded, the former in-
cluding Captain Owen Lucas, an officer of 16 years service.
31st Foot—Six killed and seven wounded. Major
Baldwin, whose name we perceive with feelings of the deepest
regret, in the list of killed, was one of the bravest, as
well as most remarkable officers in the British army.
His services had extended to a period of thirty-six years.
He was at the siege of Flushing with the 36th, served the
campaign of 1815 with the 14th, and was present at the
battle of Waterloo. He was engaged with the 31st through-
out the campaign of 1842 in Atlghanistan, under General
Pollock, including three important actions. For the latter
he received a medal. He was the senior officer engaged in
storming the left heights of the pass on the occasion of the
battle of Zegeen by the same regiment. Major Baldwin
was one of the officers present at that lamentable catastrophe
the burning of the Kent East Indiam.in. in the Bay of
Bascay, on the Ist of March, 1825. Lieut. R. H. Pollock, of
the 4th brigade of Horse Artillery, it appears, was the son
of General Sir George Pollock, and nephew to the Lord Chief
Baron.

THE SINDE PRIZE MONEY.
The East India Company have recently conveyed instructions to
the Government of India for the payment of prize money to tho
Queen's troops, and those of the Company, in pursuance of her
Majesty's royal warrant, dated the 11th of November, 1845, authoriz-
ing the distribution of the booty captured in the year 1843, in the
operations of the army employed against the imeers of Sinde.
The captures consisted of gold and silver in bars and coins, of orna-
ments. jewels, and ornamental arms, of guns, cattle, and other pro-
perty, and have realized the following sums, viz.:—

J. W. COLLETT, ESQ 2/1.r., AND THE GAME-LAWS.
—This gentleman is as great an object of terror to the game-
preservers as Mr. Cobden to the Duke of Richmond, and we
fancy a recent act of his, relative to these laws, will' not
diminish his character in their eyes. In a recent number of
the Hampshire Independent appeared an account of a little
boy, aged eleven, being sentenced by the Bench of Magis-
trates at Romsey, for worrying a hare, to pay a fine of 10s.
and costs, and in default was committed to Winchester
Bridewell. This attracting the attention of Mr. Irwin
Willes, a solicitor' residing in Maddox- street, Hanover-
square, he addressed Mr. Collett a letter on the
subject, and within a very few hours was
requested to wait upon him. Upon an interview with that
gentleman, after expressing his abhorrence of the case, he
requested Mr. Willes to proceed immediately to Winchester
and release the infant poacher from confinement. Mr.
Willes on reaching the Bridewell found that the ciild
had not been committed there (the bench having
determined not to enforce the penalty until after the ex.
piration of ten days, and then only at the desire of the prose-
cutor, Sir John B. Mill, Bart. Being struck by the appearance
of three fine youths, aged 16 and 17, who were inmates or
the Bridowell, on account of breaches of the game-laws,
and learning that their conduct in prison had been unexcep-
tionable, he mentioned their case to Mr. Collett. That gen-
tleman no sooner heard of it than he dispatched Mr Willer
instantly to Winchester, and within a few hours the youths
were released from the Bridewell, and restored to their
parents. The fines and costs in these cases amounted to SI.
The gratitude of the poor fellows at their unexpected dis-
charge was unbounded, and blessings loud and deep were

SIR ROBERT PEEL'S MEASURES.—TIPPERARY IN A
BLAZE!—Sunday night, the country for many miles was a
sheet of flame. The fires were so singularly numerous and
brilliant, that nothing of the kind to surpass them has been
remembered for a very long period. They appeared to have
originated in a northerly direction, and to have been caught
up with surprising velocity on all sides, so that for many
minutes their appearance was extremely grand and attracted
universal attention. The Duharrow hills, Keeper and Latte-
ragh mountains, the Devil's Bit, and on to the Shannon at
both sides to Galway and Clare, the fires were everywhere
lighted up and all nearly at the same moment. There were
o
l
various conjectures as to the cause of them, but we believe

a u
mour having gone among the people that Sir
Robert Peel's measures had been sanctioned by a large ar with some degree of truth, that they rig

DISGRACEFUL USAGE OF CORO-
NE WS- .
TO THE EDITORJURORS
OE EE SUN.
--
Sin,—l am not aware whether it is the custom in most -
-'
places (I hope and believe not;, but here it is the practice
of jurors, as soon as quitting the scene of death and misery,
which generally on such occasions is presented in its most
appalling form, and, if rightly regarded, would lead to solemn
thought and reflection, to repair -to some neighbouring ale-
house, and there spend the money paid them by the coroner,
to which each juror adds an additional sum to defray the
expenses of a hot joint and such other things as are thought
necessary to complete an evening's conviviality, or (to use a
homely phrase) an evening's downright enjoyment. I would
ask, is this in accordance with the refinement of our age?
Is this usage (revolting as it must appear to most) one that
should be perpetuated or not? lam sure, Sir, you will say
it is a disgraceful practice, and far from reflecting credit upon
respectable men. Would it not be better to apply the money
to some charitable use, such as relieving the wants of the
distressed relatives, or burying the unfortunate deceased ?

RAILWAY COMMITTEES.
(YESTERDAY.)

Sub-Committee No. 2.

lunacy LONDON AND MANCHESTER.

------ -
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
It was, also alleged that the properties marked 8 and 15 in the books
of reference were omitted from the plans deposited with the clerks
of the peace for the counties through which this line was to pass, and
in the Private Bill-Vice. This allegation was not pressed. There
were three slmilaldilegations whicdt were abandoned.
'fhe next allegation was that the radius of the curve on the 142,1
mile of the main line was not marked, which was established.
It was also alleged that in the plan deposited with the clerk of the
peace no owner or occupier of the ground No. 64 appeared, which
was sustained.
The next allegation was that Nos. 515 and 543, in the liberties of
St. Alban's and Presbury, were not marked in the books of reference.
Evidence was given for and against the allegation.
The Committee considered that the standing orders had not been
complied with In this case.
The next allegation was that in the book of reference No. 95,
from 545 to 568 inclusive, in the parish of Preshury, in the county
of Chester, was described as being in the county of Stafford. This
allegation was sustained.
It was also alleged that the radius of curve on the 174th mile and
scene,' furlong was not marked in the plans.
Mr. Remington, engineer, proved the omission in question.
Mr. DISON contended, that the allegation referred to a line which
they had not power to construct, and that therefore they were nut
bound to smirk the radius alluded to.
The allegation was ultimately withdrawn.
It was next alleged that there was an omission on the 13th mile
and 7th furlong, which was sustained.
The petition further alleged that the vertical line, mils 5, furlong
3 was not marked on the plus deposited with the Clerk of the
Peace fir the county of Derby. This allegation was proved.
The petition also alleged that the height of the railway above the
public road on the twenty-third mile and third furlong was not cor-
rectly marked, it being marked in one place as three feet, and in an-
other eight feet. This allegation was established.
Several similar allegations were abandoned.
Mr. Perri' said that he would pass trom 178 in the petition to the
28th allegation. The general allegation was that there was no
notice given to certain owners of property on the iine.
Thomas Slingsby, one of the petitioners, was examined to show
that I,k had not been served with notice.
Mr. DysoN—Prasaitow lon,g is it since you have signed your consent?
Mr. Slingsby—l dot t know.
It was also alleged that Nos 78 and 79 were omitted from the plan
deposited in the Private Bid-office, which was not pressed.
The next allegation was that No. 181, described in the book of re-
ference as a parish road, did mit appear on the plan, which was sus-
tained.
Mr. DYSON—HOW old are you? Mr. Slingsby—l am twenty years
of age.
Mr. Resole then contended that the witness was not entitled to
be heard, as being a minor.
After some discussion between the agents,
The CHAIRMAN, (Sir. G. Craig), said that the Committee were of
opinion that the wittness had a right to be heard, being of an age
sufficient to enable him to understand when his interests would be
affected, as in the present case, being the owner of the property in
question.
The case was then proceeded with.

Siingsby, in reply to Mr. Dyson, said that he was living with
his mother, who was not present. The notice was served on his
mother i September last.
The CHAIRMAN said the Committee were of opinion that in this
ease thp standing orders had been complied with.
The Committee then adjourned, shortly after four o'clock, till
twelve o'clock to-morrow.
