SOUTHWARK.

William Ford, an engineer, was placed at the bar,
before Mr. Seeker, charged with endeavouring to force
his way into the Victoria Theatre, and assaulting Mur-
ray, the officer.

The latter stated that about 9 o'clock on Tuesday even-
indthe prisoner came into the box entrance, and tried to
force his way up the staircase. When asked for his
money, he knocked the check-taker down, and had
ascended to the top of the, stairs when he (witness) met
him. The prisoner endeavoured to serve him in the
same way as he had done the check-taker, but he was
too powerful for him; and after considerable difficulty
he held him until the arrival of other 'constables, who
carried him to the station house.
The prisoner, who stated that he was much intoxi-
cated at the time, was fined 103., or seven days' impri-
sonment.

I THAMES.
Isaac. Chapmam, a mulatto, Daniel Bennett, and
Thomas Morris were brought up on remand, charged
with,being concerned in plundering Mr. Tessin, of the
Anchor and Hope Tavern, East Smithfield, of wine, to
an extent—whicb, from the largeness of his stock, he
could not possibly calculate, but, from the admission of
one of the parties, the depredatim must have been of a

wholesale character, as the wine was taken away in
dozens. It appeared the fellows contrived to carry out
their system of plunder by taking up a plank in the tap-
room, which is just over the cellar, and by that means
obtained unrestricted access.

Chapu-nm and Bennett were again remanded, but the
other prisoner was set at large, as it is expected he
will give important testimony, which will lead to the
apprehension of the principal offender, who is not yet in
custody.

LAMBETH.

Yesterday the revision of the lists for this borough
was gone into before J. Deedes,,Esq., the Barrister, at
the Sessions House, Newington.
In St. Giles, Camberwell, there were but a few claims
or technical objections. In St. Mary, Lambeth, there
were 35 claims and no objections.
Mr. Sinclair, of Kennington-lane, claimed to have his
name inserted on the register, it having been omitted for
non-payment of the poor-rates.
Mr. Sinclair, in support of the claim, said that on the
20th of July he had called three times at the house of
Mr. Spencer, who he always considered was the collec-
tor, but he had had some dispute with the parochial au-
thorities, and he heard he was then suspended, but he
had the collecting books. He could not see Mr.
Spencer, and the servant could not sere him a receipt.
although he had the money in his hand.
The BARRISTER asked if he tendered the exact
amount ?

Mr. Sinclair replied that he did not ; he had 31. or
41. in his hand. A subsequent application had been
made to him for it, but then he was 160 miles from town,
and it was not paid now.
The 13An1tr9TEn said it appeared a hard case, for
there was a difficulty as to who was the collector at the
time.

The present collector stated that he could not have
given a receipt on the 20th of July.
The BARRISTER observed that it would have been
better to have tendered the exact amount, and the rate
must now be paid. He should allow the claim. The
Learned Gentleman, however, upon referring to
the Act, considered that the tender of the money was
only good in cases of claims to be rated. The difficulty
was that the rate was not now paid, and it had not been
tendered to any other officer.
gin Sinclair submitted that the tender having been
made on the 20th of July, it was of no consequence when
if was in fact paid.
The BARRISTER said the section made no reference to
a tender. It expressly stated that no person shall he
entitled to be on the register "unless he shall have paid,
on or before the 20th of July, all assessed and other taxes
up to the 6th of April." The 30th section had the
word " tender," but that was in reference to a claim to
be rated. Where parties left the payment of the
rates to the last moment a difficulty was liable to occur.
at, for instance, if the collector should die on that day.
Collectors were appointed for the convenience of the
parish.
Mr. Sinclair said—lf this were done, half Lambeth
would be disfranchised, for no one would know what they
had to pay.
The Learned BARRISTER observed that the rate• book
could be seen.

The claim was disallowed.
Of the whole claims 61 were allowed, and 4 disallowed.
In St. Mary, Newington, there were 34 claims, which
were allowed. There was no case of any interest, and
this parish concluded the revision.

THE STAR HOTEL, SOUTHAMPTON.

13/R. GARDINER is instructed, by the Execu-
tors and Assignees, to LET or SELL, with immediate pos-
session, all that capital first-rate HOTEL, known as the STAR, si-
tuate in the High-street, Southampton, a house universally known
as one of the first establishments of its kind in the kingdom. It has
been patronised for many years by persons and families of the first
rank, and contains accommodations of the most superior order, a
large sum of money having been expended within a few years, in
judicious improvments and additions to the premises, which include
excellent bed and sitting rooms, coffee-room, capital stabling
and coach-houses, a good tap, and every other requisite. Under
the sUperintendence of an active principal, a most extensive and
profitable commercial trade may be added to the established business
of the house, as from the rapidly increasing importance of the town
and port of Southampton in a commercial point of view, a great in-
crease of trade is inevitable. A lease will be granted at a moderate
rent, or the premises will be sold.
Particulars may be obtained of Mr. Gardiner, auctioneer, 17, Hat-
ton-garden.

SINDE-MOVEMENT OF TROOPS.

We have had during the last fortnight scarcely any intel-
ligence of note from Sinde; what we possess refers m.rely to
the movements of the troops upwards towards Mithenkote.
Within little more than a month above ten thousand men
have been placed under orders or dispatched from Bombay
for liurrachee. The rumour that Shere Mahomed was again
at turnssu koeur,t

alarm as to cause a force to be dispatched to Shaporo to

s would consist of
four 8-inch iron howitzers, five 18
.pounder
guns, four 8-inch
iron and four 514-inch brass mortars. with one thousand
rounds of ammunition for each. Captain Duncan's troop
of horse artillery remained encamped at Rome. The irre-
gular horse are already considerably on their way; the 13th
and 18th, under command of Colonel Jones, marched from
Hyderabad on the 10th, and the battering train, escorted
by the right wing of her Majesty's 80th, steam up the
river : the 12th N. 1., with Forster's and Ilrett's batteries,
and details of Sappers and Miners, moved on the 15th,
under command of Colonel Reid. It is not supposed
the troops will be able to move from Roree till the sth or
Gth instant. We give these details chiefly from the Delhi
Gazette. Our contemporary appears to think that the force
may reach Tahawulpore in three weeks. The distance is
about 224 miles. We have great doubts both as to whether
the army will start at the date assigned, and whether it may
not take considerably more time on its march than is set
down for it. The Bengal division under Sir 11. Fane, took
in Jan., 1839, twenty-four days on its way down, with abun-
dant supplies of all kinds.

(From the Bombay Times, Feb. 2.)
From Sinde, where the movements of our troops are be-
coming daily more important, we learn in regard to Hyder-
abad, that the Sinde horse are already well on their way
the 13th and 15th regiments Bombay Native Infantry
marched on the 10th under command Of Col. Jones ; the
right wing of her Majesty's 86th were to take up the bat-
tering train, and a large quantity of ammunition with them,
by steam, up the river; the left wing of the same corps, with
Capt. Rowland's troops of horse, were to leave on the 13!h,
for Sukkur by land; and the 12th Regimert Native Infantry,
accompanied by a detail of Sappers and Miners, with Capt.
Brett's and Capt. Forster's Horse Batteries, under the com-
mand of Col. Reid, C. 8., were to follow on the 15th.
The 17th Regiment Native Infantry, and the Beloch Batta-
lion were expected from Kurrachee by water, while the 7th
Regiment had already arrived from Bombay, and being
a fine strong regiment, hoped to be sent on. The 11th and
4th Regiments would, it was also supposed, be pushed on
on arrival. Her Majesty's 17th Foot had reached Kurra-
chee, and was under orders for Hyderabad. The eupply
of camels is, however, reported to be so scanty, that
many of the movements depend on the same becoming
more abundant. The Sinde camel baggage corps is

THE LATE VICTORY IN INDIA.

The Duke of RICHMOND said he took the earliest
opportunity of calling the attention of the Noble Earl at
the head of the Board of Control (Ripon), to a mistake
which he had made the other night in moving a vote of
thanks to the Indian army, but a mistake which he
(the Duke of Richmond) wet certain was altogether
unintentional, and which he was sure his Noble Friend
would thank him for correcting. The error to which
he alluded was in reference to the Noble Earl stating
that Colonel Wood, the aid-de-camp of the Governor-
Goner. I, having headed a regiment in the late engage-
ment. Now he (the Duke of Richmond) did riot mean
to cast the slightest reflection on Colonel Wood, who had
been 12 years in the army, and who must on this occasion
have been in advance of his regiment, but who certainly
did not head is. Though he believed Colonel Wood to
be a most promising and gallant officer, he was not the
officer who headed the 80th Regiment in the engagement
referred to. The officer who did so was Colonel Bun-
bury, an officer who bad been thirty years
in the service on full pay, and six years
on half pay, and who had taken a part
in the leading engagements of the Peninsular war.
and who had been wounded in the late engagement in
India. This was the officer who led the regiment. and
not Colonel Wood, who might have accompanied the
regiment, and he (the Duke of Richmond) was sur-
prised that the Noble Earl had not mentioned his name
in alluding to the meritorious ,ifficers who had served
on that occasion.

Lord RIPON said he could have no hesitation is
complying with the request of the Noble Duke. In
speaking upon the subject he (Lord Ripon) took his
notion of the services of the gallant officers from what
he had seen reported in the public prints, and not being a
professional man he did not know the difference. Had he
been aware of it he would have been most happy to mark
the distinction ; and now that he had been made aware
of it, he could have no hesitation in expressing his
warmest admiration of the services of ()Glom.] Bunbury.
He begged to say he felt obliged to his Noble, Friend for
having afforded him the opportunity of mak'n g this cor-
rection.

anxiety to make arrangements for the proper provisioning of
the troops. There is no sign of the Raja approach. It is
also given out that Sirdar Mahomed Llkbar Khan has or-
dered troops to march from Jellalabad towards Khyber, and
that some of them have actually reached Dakka.
JANUARY 14.
A rumour prevails throughout the whole town that the
Khalsa troops had passed the river Sutlej by"-chtirtrioge of
boats, and that a battle had taken place, that the Seikhs had
lost bout 1,500 men, and the British full double that num-
ber, besides which the Khalsas had captured four guns, and
stormed the intrenchments of the British, the latter retreat-
ing about three koss; but this must be mere rumour, as no
one has come from camp with any intelligence of the kind.
The sons of Dewan Sawun Mull have collected the Mulkea
people, and directed large bodies of them to march upon
Sinde, with the view of doing all the harm in that country
in their power. A man has come in from Jamoo, who states
that Raja Ghoolab Singh has really made every preparation
for the march, but has beyond that shown no intention of
leaving his present abode. Some fuqueers of the place say,
that the Seikhs propose now retreating on Lahore, and will,
in case of their doing so, fight amongst themselves, murder
all the Sirdars and the Maharaja, and place some other per-
son on the throne.
JANUARY 15.

A man on whom reliance is to be placed has arrived from
the camp of the Khalsas, and says, that nearly all of them
are still this side the river, but that they are fully deter-
mined on crossing, and still talk of going to Calcutta. They
mention to-morrow (this day) as the day on which they will
cross, but nothing is certain. He reports also that a consi-
derable force (ten regiments of infantry and two of cavalry)
were to march from the British camp towards Loodianah fur
the protection of that place ; while 12 regiments of Hindoo-
stances, and four European corps, with five of light cavalry
mid dragoons, were still iu camp along the river. He says
that no fighting has taken place for several days. The ar-
rival of Raja Ghoolab Singh is looked for with the utmost
anxiety, as it is now believed he will come, and stand by the
Khalsas. Another man has come in from the camp, and it
appears from his account that the troops are not in such good
spirits as they were.

SINDE-MOVEMENT OF TROOPS.

We have had during the last fortnight scarcely any intel-
ligence of note from Sinde; what we possess refers ni.rely to
the movements of the troops upwards towards Mithenkote.
Within little more than a month above ten thou:lind men
have been placed under orders or dispatched from Bombay
for Kurrachee. The rumour that Shere Mahomed was again
in the field with an army which had occasioned so much
alarm as to cause a force to be dispatched to Shapore to
meet him, turns out to be baseless. A siege train was being
Prepared at Suker, which, when complete, would consist of
f,,ur 8-inch iron howitzers, five 18-pounder guns, four 8-inch
iron and four 5%-inch brass mortars, with one thousand
rounds of ammunition for each. Captain Duncan's troop
of horse artillery remained encamped at Roree. The irre-
gular horse are already considerably on their way; the 13th
and 18th, under command of Colonel Jonee, marched from
Hyderabad on the 10th, and the battering train, escorted
by the right wing of her Majesty's 80th, steam up the
river : the 12th N. 1., with Forster 's and Brett's batteries,
and details of Sappers and Miners, moved on the 15th,
under command of Colonel Reid. It is not supposed
the troops will be able to move from Roree till the sth or
6th instant. We give these details chiefly from the Delhi
Gazette. Our contemporary appears to think that the force
may reach Tahawulpore in three weeks. The distance is
about 224 miles We have great doubts both as to whether
the army will start at the date ass;gned, and whether it may
not take considerably more time on its march than is set
down for it. The Bengal division under Sir H. Pane, took
in Jan., 1839, twenty-four days on its way down, with abun-
dant supplies of all kinds.

(From the Bombay Times, Feb. 2.)
From Sinde, where the movements of our troops are be-
coming daily more important, we learn in regard to Hyder-
abad, that the Sinde horse are already well on their way ;
the 13th and 18th regiments Bombay Native Infantry
marched on the 10th under command of Col. Jones ; the
right wing of her Majesty's 86th were to take up the bat-
tering train, and a large quantity
.of ammunition with them.,
by steam, up the river; the left wing of the same corps, with
Capt.. Rowland's troops of horse, were to leave on the 13th,
for Sukkur by land; and the 12th Regimes t Native Infantry,
accompanied by a detail of Sappers and Miners, with Capt.
Brett's and Capt. Forster's Horse Batteries, under the com-
mand of Col. Reid, C. 8., were to follow on the 15th.
The 17th Regiment Native Infantry, and the Beloch Batta-
lion were expected from Kurrachee by water, while the 7th
Regiment bad already arrived from Bombay, and being
a fine strong regiment, hoped to be sent on. The 11th and
4th Regiments would, it was also supposed, be pushed on
on arrival. Her Majesty's 17th Foot had reached Kurra-
chee, and was under orders for Hyderabad. The eapply
of camels is, however, reported to be so scanty, that
many of the movements depend on the same becoming
more abundant. The Sinde camel baggage corps is

The ran of ST. GERMANS moved the Committee on the

Irish Pacification hill, and explained the nature of
various amendments which it was intended to pro-
pose in Co.nmittee ; among these was one limit-
ing the duration of the Act to five years.
With regard to the amendment proposed by Earl GREY he
could not consent to it. The punishment of all others most
dreaded by the Irish was transportation, and one exAmple
of summary transportation would produce Inure effect than
many examples of imprisonment; and it should be remem-
bered that they were now about to apply an extrarordinary
remedy to our extraordinary state of things. They could not
detect criminals, and, therefore, they were bound to prevent
crime by preventing persons being abroad after nightfall. The
Noble Earl then quoted the opinion of Mr. O'CoNNELL in
1834, as to the necessity of some law to prevent persons
being out after nightfall. The object was, to get at those
concerning whose guilt there could be no moral doubt,
but against whom persons refused to give evidence.
Besides, the power of awarding punishment was left to the
judge, and it was impossible to doubt that he would exer-
cise a proper discretion. He believed that nothing short of
the proposed measure would meet the exigtneta of fire case,
and he knew that several persons connected 4h Ireland
considered that it did not go far enough.

RAILWAY.

Mr. MORRIS moved the second reading of this
Bill, when

Sir DE LACY EVANS said that he should oppose
it, in consequence of the surreptitious manner in which
the petition had been taken before the Standing
Orders' Committee. It was quite clear, that the
Company had come to a resolution that, if

in the opinion of the Solicitor-General they could
dissolve themselves, they should do so : the opinion of
the Solicitor-General was in the affirmative, but the
resolution had not been rescinded by the Committee ;
therefore, iu coming before the Standing Orders Com-
mittee, the Company had acted surreptitiously. He
would propose that the second reading should be post-
poned till Monday next.
Mr. DUNCOMBE would second the motion of his
Hon. and Gallant Friend. He thought the best way
to put an end to the discussion would be to postpone
the second reading of the Bill. The House would, in
that case, have sufficient time to decide whether or not
the Bill should be proceeded with.
After some further discussion, it was ultimately re-
solved that the seoond reading should be postponed till
Monday.
Mr. GREENE moved that the House do rescind pa-
ragraph 20 of standing orders No. 87—Motion agreed to.
ENROLMENT OF TilE MILITIA.

Mr. T. DUNCO MBE presented several petitions from
different places against the enrolment of the'militia.

CORN LAWS.

Mr. BRIGHT said that he wished to call the atten-

tion of the House to a petition from the inhabitants of the
Shetland Isles. It was signed by almost every adult
male inhabitant in the whole 46 islands—to the num-
ber of 7,000. They were all fishermen, and they
complained that they had great difficulty in disposing
of their produce. The were also obliged to pay unna-
turally high jifices for what they consumed, as the
islands did nori)roduce half enough food for them. They
therefore prayed that the corn-laws might be abolished, as
during the 30 years they had been in existence they had
deprived the fishermen of the fair reward of their labour,
He also preiented a petition from Mr. Arthur Ander-
son, a merchant of London, but a native of the Shetland
Isles, which stated facts corroborative of those stated in
the former petition, and prayed for the immediate and
total abolition of the corn-laws.
COUNTY ELECTIONS.

Mr. H. ELPHINSTONE said that he wished to give
notice that he would, on that day fortnight, move for
leave to bring in a Bill to limit the polling at county
elections to one day.

TASTERN PRODUCE,

Cotton—There has been little animation in the market for this
staple, and owing to the unencouraging accounts alike from Eng-
land and China, prices continue depressed. The new crop has
begun to arrive, but amt freely, and about 200 bales of Broach and
300 candles of Oomrawnttee being nearly all that has yet come in
—have been disposed of at Its. 93 to 9:114 per candy for the former,
and rs. 86 to 88 for the latter. The quantity of old cotton remain-
ing is not large, and for an save Compta and Barsee, lower prices
than those current 'pet month have been accepted. Of Compta we
hear of a purchase of 'BOO candies to rs. 69 to 70 per candy. The
act of the Legislative, council for doing away with drawback system,
has received official ranetion, and is now become law. In future,
therefore, no duty wiU be charged on the importation of cotton from
the producing districts into the island of Bombay, and exports to
China and other tbreiszt countries to the eastward will be subject
invariably to a duty on exportation. from which they have been
hitherto exempt, on thr production of a certificate of the payment of
import duty.
Coffee is without alteration in value, and we hear of no trans-
actions.

Hemp —We quote Concan and Calicut about two rupees per candy
dearer than before. Malec has also risen in price.
Opium remains stationary in price.
Cardamorw—These have advanced since our last about twelve
real per lb. . . . . . . .

Pepper—lnutcoll exhibits no change, but Malabar is a shade lower
than before.

Wool—The only alteration we have to notice is a slight decline in
the price of Mtsrwar. The purchases since our last have been princi.
pally by natives, the current rates continuing too high to induce ex-
t‘nsive transactions on the part of European houses.
Freights.—Owing to the limited nature of tile business in produce.
considerable difficulty has been experienced in obtaining freight, and
notwithstanding the paucity of arrivals, rates have further declined.
We have heard of no vary recent operations, and our quotations,
which may be fixed at U. ss. to 31. 10s. both to London and Liverpool,
must he regarded as nominal ones merely. In freight to China there
has been more doing, and engagements have been effected at ra 16
to 17 per candy. A vessel for the Clyde has been laden at 31. per ton.
