LONDON, MONDAY, AUGUST 3, 1846.

It is with sentiments of the deepest sorrow that we
have to record the death of Baboo DWAREANAUTH
TAGORE. This truly illustrious man expired shortly,
after six o'clock on Saturday evening, at his resi-
dence, St. George's Hotel, Albemarle-street. He
was in the fifty-second year of his age. His state of
health had been for some time precarious, owing to
some organic affection connected with the lungs or
liver. We had fervently hoped that eminent medical
skill would have helped him over his late serious
illness, the fatal termination of which will be so
generally deplored. DWARKANAUTH TAGORR was the
second Brahmin of distinction who had visited this
country with the laudable motive of obtaining an
accurate knowledge of the means by which the bless-
ings of civilisation have been so extensively realised,
not only here, but in Europe at large, in order to
render himself a fitting instrument to assist in the
regeneration, political, social, and moral of the mil-
lions that crowd his native soil. His predecessor in
the same noble career was RAMMOHUN ROY, and it
is matter of grievous lament that death likewise
prevented his return to the East. Both were men of
a high order of mind. DWARKANAUTH TAGORE
was pre-eminently endowed. He was of the most
elevated rank of nobility recognised in India, and
was possessed of an immense fortune. The influence
of the heads of the Brahmins is known only to those
who have resided in the East. When we find men
of such exalted position and ample means quitting
the land of their birth, where bigoted prejudices have
taken a deeper root than in almost any other portion
of the earth, and animated by an object the dictate of
the most extended philanthrophy, the mind is filled
with admiration. No surer means can be taken to-
wards fraternising the whole human race. Where
civilisation is advanced in a country which has
just had to feel the force of the conquering arm of an
invader, its progress is always slow. The violent
passions engendered by war are long in subsiding, and
it is incidental to the love of patriotism to suffer de-
feat upon defeat before the stranger be permitted to
exercise his usurped dominion in peace. But when
exalted personages have voluntarily incurred sacri-
fices, and travelled far and wide to illuminate their
minds, and then are enabled to return to their com-
patriots and enlighten them as to the vast power and
happiness of other lands, and the means by which they
are attainable—the mild influences of reason are most
favourably brought into operation, and the seeds
of human improvement are no sooner sown and
scattered, than the happiest indications of a promising
harvest are freely presented. How gigantically was
the power of Russia increased under the auspices of
PETER the Great, and yet how much was that
country indebted for its rapid development to the
untiring energy with which her eccentric, but gifted
monarch had pursued his researches during his early
years in this and other kingdoms. DWARIEA.•
NAUTH TAGORE lived to effect much, though
it was late in life when he first came
amongst us. No doubt his correspondence with
his countrymen of rank and affluence will have
the effect of inducing some of them to follow his
brilliant example. At least such is our hope ; and to
find it realised would prove some compensation for
an otherwise irreparable loss. Extensively engaged
in commerce when very young, and which he carried on
with astonishing enterprise, DWARICA.NAUTH TAGORE
became sensible of the incalculable benefits arising
from a free intercourse between different countries.
In Calcutta, which owes so much to his master
spirit, the intelligence of his death will be re
ceived with the deepest contrition. To him they are
indebted for a magnificent public building, the
town-hall ; the munificence of his donations to
every other institution, educational, charitable, and
scientific, was never surpassed. If a commercial
panic seized the city, he stood prominently forward,
and by virtue of his high character and princely
fortune soon restored confidence among the
mercantile bodies. He was a frequent guest
at the royal table in this country. In his own, the
Governor-General mostly resided a portion of the year
at one of his palaces. He was an intimate friend of
Lord BROUGHAM, and shortly before his death was
gratified by two young men, whom he had main-
tained, at his own charge, at the London University,
having greatly distinguished themselves in the me-
dical school. He was beloved by all, both for his
public and private virtues. His death will be gene-
rally mourned.

It is our painful duty this day again to call the
public attention to the Draoonic severity, the fearful
stringency of the naval code. JAMES SAYER, a young
man in the prime of life, has just been sentenced to
death, to be hanged by the neck on board such one
of her MAJESTY'S vessels, and at such time, as the
Lords of the Admiralty shall direct; and the Presi-
dent of the Court informed the unfor-
tunate young man that he could offer no
hope that the sentence of the Court would
not be fully carried out, and exhorted him
to prepare himself to meet his doom. And
what was the offence of which the wretched culprit
had been guilty to call for and deserve the greatest
punishment, the extreme penalty, known to our law
—a punishment that is never inflicted except in cases
of wilful, deliberate, and premeditated murder, and
against which, even in such cases, many good men
are daily uplifting their voices ? Surely it
must have been of a serious character indeed,
when no hope could be afforded—when no prospect
of mitigation could be held out. The lives of his
shipmates must have been seriously endangered by,
or through the default of the prisoner, when his crime
demanded so fearful an expiation—when the offended
laws of his country, or, rather, we should say, of that
btrhaenie nh fiioeftitorahnes

officers ! Start tot, brother Englishmen •,express
not your incredulity, your scepticism. It is un-
doubtedly true that, in the nineteenth century, in the
year 18467 nay, within the very last week, a
fellow creature, a fellow countryman, has been
sentenced to suffer death, and is at this moment
awaiting his fearful doom, for having itnwan mseormgeenanttosf.

there was nothing of pretneditation, of intentional
offence. The unhappy man had just r
to his vessel in a disorderly manner, having
parted with some of his necessaries on shore;
he was forthwith, and while his excitement continued,
ordered to be put into irons, doubtless for the purpose
of being punished with a flogging for his offence. It
• appears that he has twice recently been so punished,
the marks cat not having been to yet (mita.

rated from his back, and, as may easily be supposed,his
passion, his excitement, was increased, and in a moment
of madness he attempted to resist the mandate, he
struck the sergeant by whom it was about to be
enforced, and afterwards, 'when forced into the fore
cockpit, while in the act of resistance, struck another
sergeant. -It does not appear that either of the
blows were violent, or that the persons
struck were in the slightest degree injured, or even
hurt. This was the head and front of his offending,
and for this he is to be cut off from the face of the
earth, to be changed in one moment from a living, a
sentient being, full of health and strength, to a
breathless corpse. Gracious GOD ! can such things
be tolerated in a Christian country, in a civilized
nation ? What fancied necessity, what pro-
cess of reasoning, can possibly justify the
atrocity.? Can Englishmen be silent under such cir-
cumstances ? Will not petitions be poured in both
to the Executive and Legislature for a mitigation of
punishment—a reprieve to the unfortunate man now
under sentence, suffering daily death in horrid antici-
pation—and also for a revision and radical reform in
the articles of war, the code under which such in-
human barbarity is sanctioned and tolerated ?
The subject of naval courts-martial was brought
before the House on Friday evening by Mr. WILLIA Am,
who has evinced an anxious desire for the ame-
lioration of the condition of our naval brethren.
It could scarcely be supposed that his state-
ments would be so speedily corroborated.
The naval court-martial is final in its nature;
there is no appeal from its sentence to any
tribunal whatever; there is no power by law to dis-
allow its judgment. The sentence of a military
court-martial must be submitted to the Commander-
in-Chief, and approved of by him before it can be
carried into execution ; but the contrary is the
case in the navy : immediately on being pronounced
it may be carried into execution ; any mistake or
error is irremediable. We sincerely trust that our
liberal Governinent will turn their earliest attention
to the subject. They have already introduced many
and valuable changes, have swept away abuses,
and have evinced the strongest anxiety in
every possible way to improve the laws and the
mode of their administration, to ameliorate the con-
dition of those they are selected to rule over, to in-
sure equal and impartial justice to all. We give them
every credit for their good intentions, but their
hands must be strengthened, they must be
aided and supported in their exertions ;
the public voice must be heard; a tempe-
rate but firm, above all, a universal demand
must be made for justice to our naval and military
brethren. Every instance of the abuse of power, of
the infliction of inequitable and disproportionate
punishment, must be proclaimed, published, and com-
mented on. Our representatives must make themselves
heard in Parliament, public meetings must be
held, and petitions adopted. There are many
and formidable prejudices to be encountered, but a
good, a noble cause, tealously supported, must even-
, tually triumph, and be crowned with success. So
long as a necessity exists for an army and navy,
every principle of justice, of expediency, demands
that we should offer every inducement to the best
men to give their services, and to remove the causes
that have hitherto made such persons unwilling
to do so.

The ex-King of Holland, Louis BONAPARTE (Count
DE ST. LEu), the father of Prince Louis NAPOLEON,
died at Leghorn on the 24th ult. of a fit of apoplexy.
by which he had been attacked the day before.
It is stated positively in letters from Rome of the
20th ult., that the appointment of Cardinal Gizzi, as
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, has defini-
tively taken place, and that he is at the same time
charged with the supreme direction of the Govern-
ment.

The treaty of commerce between Holland and
Belgium was signed at the Hague on the 29th July.
Letters from Leipsic of the 26th announce that
Prince JOHN, the brother of the King of SAxoNY,
has resigned the command of the Saxon National
Guards. .

Madrid Journals of the 26th and 27th have been
received ; their contents are unimportant. The
grand ball on the evening of the 25th, in honour of
the fete-day of Queen CHRISTINA, went off with great
eclat. _

We have received the Paris papers of Friday and
Saturday.
The Bulletin des Lois publishes a royal ordonnance,
convoking the Chamber of Peers as a court to try
HENRY, and nominates M. HEnEaT,'Procureur-Gene-
ral of the Cour Royale of Paris, to be Procureur-
General of the Court of Peers, to be assisted by M.
BRESSON, Avocat-General of the Cour Royale; the
Keeper of the Archives of the Chamber of Peers to be
registrar, assisted by his Deputy. Duke PASQUIER,
the Chancellor, arrived in Paris on Thursday, and
went to the Conciergerie to interrogate HENRY. The
assassin discharged two pistols at once ; they were
small pocket pistols ; the distance at which he fired
was so great that it is considered that he could not
have intended to kill the KING, as it was physically
impossible with such weapons, and at such a distance,
to have done his MAJESTY any injury. Indeed HENRY
distinctly disavows any such intention. " I merely
wished," saidhe, " to open the road to the guillotine."
He employed sixteen men in his manufactory,
but his affairs were very much embarrassed, and he
was on the eve of stopping payment. We doubt
much whether the eclat of a trial before the Cham-
ber of Peers is not calculated to excite the regicidal
monomania which at present appears to affect certain
weak heads periodically. An ordinary trial before
an ordinary tribunal, and a degrading punishment,
such as exposure and the galleys, would be more
likely to check it than the Chamber of Peers and
the guillotine. On this subject we find the following
very sensible observations in the Presse

" The attempt made on the King's life on Wednesday is
the act of a madman; the author of it escapes from public
indignation by contempt. This wild undertaking can only
be explained by the reason which he appears to have him-
self given—that he was tired of life, and, being determined
to end his days, he preferred a tragical and striking denoue-
ment to an obscure suicide. This explanation is another
proof that with wretches of this species it is perhaps dan-
gerous to surround with forms of two solemn a nature the
trial which ends in cutting them away from the bosom of so-
ciety. The desire of playing a part is sometimes so acute for
some depraved natures that they will accept the most odious
and infamous one. A dissipated fellow, worn down with
debauchery and shame, reduced to terminate at the bottom
of the Seine a life useless to all, and a burden to himself,
may allow himself to be led away by the abominable cele-
brity that is too generally attributed to the assassins who
fire on the King. Perhaps it would be better that a speedy
and vulgar punishment, deprived of all preliminary prepa-
ration, should take from them the destestable satisfaction
which they make the object of their ambition. It is in that
way that things pass in England and Germany, and the re-
currence of such frightful attempts is there much less fre-
quent than amongst us. But as the Court of Peers is already
directed to judge the matter, we shall not urge any farther
reflections, which could not now prevent the trial from
going regularly on. Only on what concerns ourselves we
shall avoid directing attention to a culprit who only deserves
to meet with universal disgust. We shall merely publish
such details as may tend to specify the nature of the attempt,
without adding anything to the wretched renown of the
assassin."

It appears that on Wednesday, shortly after the
attempt of HE NUT, three young men were arrested
in the garden of the Tuileries, who were uttering
seditious cries. The Gazette des Tribunaux of Sa-
turday gives the following account of the trans-
action :
At a little distance from the spot where Henry was
standing three young men exhibited strong marks of im-
patience at the King's not coming out on the balcony, that
the concert might begin. They appeared to have drunk
more wine than usual at dinner, and their conversation be-
came in a short time exceedingly insulting to the King and
Royal Family. The persons who stood near them gradually
drew back to avoid a quarrel which they seemed not to be
unwilling to engage in. It was only afterwards, when
the rumour was spread about that the ling had been fired
at, that the persons who had heard the language of the
three young men were struck with the gravity of the cir-
cumstance. On returning to the place where they had left
them, they found them still uttering abusive language against
the King, but ignorant, as they afterwards declared, of what
had taken place. The young men were then arrested : one,
nineteen years of age, is a shopkeeper's clerk ; a second, of
the same age, i 9 a writer in an avoue's office ; and the third,
aged twenty, is similarly employed. When taken before the
Commissary of Police of the quarter of the Tuileries, they
did not deny the language attributed to them, but ascribed it
to having taken too much wine at dinner. They denied hav-
ing any ill intentions against the King or his family, and
when asked if they had not been put forward by some poli-
tical party, one of them, in order to show that no motive of

cused of uttering seditious cries, an architect by profession,
and about nineteen years of age, was also arrested."

The same journal contains the following on the
subject of the false reports constantly propagated at
the Bourse for stock-jobbing, purposes :
" For some time past, some very serious things have been
going on at the Bourse, and we are astonished that they have
not yet attracted the attention of the authorities. Nearly
every day the prices of the public securities, and particu-
larly those of railroad shares, are, alternately, by means of
false news, raised or lowered according to the views of the
speculators who have recourse to these culpable manoeuvres.
This, it appears, is done without any person being aware
that it is an offence punishable with fine and imprisonment.
A few days ago, for instance, one of the journals in its Stock
Exchange article, spoke, as of a very simple affair, of a piece
of false news which caused a fall of 15 to 20 francs, and
stated this momentary fall had permitted those who, in the
language of the place,_ are called venckurs a decosvert, to
realise their profits, There is at the Bourse a commissary
of police whose duty it is to discover and denounce the authors
of these manoeuvres. Is it possible that he eau he ignp;•,;.r.4
of what everybody else knows? It is said that he has or-
ganised, a very active surveillance against th. 3 stealers of
handkerchiefs and snuff-boxes. This is very good, but thieves
of this kind are not the iirfost dangerous, nor are they,
perhaps, the most culpable."
The KING, Qtmz)i, and Royal Family arrived at Eu
on Thursday night. They were received every
whom on the route with the most enthusiastic ex-
pressions of loyalty and devotion. Accounts have
been received from Algiers to the 25th. All was
tranquil at that date, although the province of Tit-
tery and the whole of the Medeah division was suffer-
ing from want of corn. The Allhbar publishes a letter
from Tlemcen of the 15th ult., which says.,—

q Three hundred and sixty feet of fine olive plantations
were burnt down, but the cause of the fire had not been dis-
covered, The harvest was nearly all got in, and is much
less abundant than in the preceding years, which Is to be
attributed to the scarcity of rain this season. The heat is in-
tense—at two o'clock on the 15th it was 52 degrees, 2 degrees
greater than in Senegal."
The elections commenced on Saturday. The
return of a large majority of supporters of the
Ministry was considered as certain.

ALLEGED DEATH by MILITARY
FLOGGING, AT lIOUNSLOW.—(THIS DAY.)
The inquiry into the cause of the death of Frederick John
White, a private in the 7th Hussars, or " Queen's Own,"
whose death is alleged to have been caused by severe mili-
tary punishment, was resumed this morning, by Mr.
Wakley, M.P., at the George the Fourth, Hounslow-heath.
The interest in the death of the unfortunate man had in no
degree subsided, for, notwithstanding the inauspicious state
of the morning, the inquest-room was crowded, and several
persons had gathered about the doors of the inn.
Mr. Clark attended, as on last Monday, on behalf of the
officers of the regiment. Mr. Mills, the Deputy-coroner,
assisted Mr. Wakley.
Mr. WAtLEv asked Mr. Clark if he had any witnesses to
call ?

Mr. Clark said he had not ; at any rate he was not aware
at that moment that it would be necessary to do so.
Mr. Waxen, said he had received a letter from a person liv-
ing at Old Brentford, giving some information on the sub-
ject, and as he gave his name, he thought, in justice, that the
jury should hear it.
Mr. Mills then, at the request of the coroner, read the
following letter :
" Sir,—With a view to the furtherance of the ends of
justice, by a searching investigation, I submit the following
circumstances to your consideration, knowing that I cannot
place them in better hands. On Monday morning last, at
eight o'clock, 27th instant, the son of Mr. Goom, a newsman
of Brentford, was in Fleet-street with his papers in his cart,
coming towards Brentford, when a soldier of the 7th
llussars, or Queen's Own, asked him to give him a lift, as he
wanted to get to Hounslow in time for the inquest. The
boy told him to get into the cart, and hastened his speed,
seeing the soldier was afraid he should be too late. On the
road the soldier told young Goom that about the com-
mencement of the inquest he was told he might have a
furlough of five weeks, if he liked, to go and see his
friends, which he accepted. When he arrived in Kent
among his friends, and told them what he knew about
the flogging of White, his friends told him he
ought to be at the inquest to state what he knew to the jury,
and they made a subscriptions to furnish him with money
to defray his expenses, and he came to London from Kent on
Sunday by a van. During this conversation they had got
to Kensington Barracks; a 'soldier seeing the other soldier
in the cart called out, saying, Well, how are you getting
on ?' The answer was, lam going to the inquest.' But
as they were coming into Hammersmith, a sergeant from
Kensington Barracks, on horseback, came after them at full
speed, and called out to young Goom to stop, I command
you to stop, or I will immediately give you both into cus-
tody.' The sergeant then, after he had stopped the cart,
inquired ef persons passing by where the station-house was, and
was informed up the lane. He then ordered young Goom to
turn out of the read and drive up to the station-house, which
the boy did, but when they had got near it, the sergeant told
the soldier, if he would go quietly back to the barracks
he would not give him in charge to the police, but if he at-
tempted to run away, he (the sergeant) 'would gallop over
him.' The boy was then permitted to come home with the
cart and papers. The sergeant and soldier, he supposes, re-
turned back to Kensington Barracks, and I have not heard
anything further what became of the soldier, whether he is in
prison or at large, and I have just heard the soldier at the
barracks call him by the name of ' Simmons.'—Yours, &c.
" Old Brentford, Aug. 1,1846. T. NORMANTON."
James How, the private of the 7th Hussars referred to,
said, he went away without leave to see his mother in Kent ;
he had a ride in the cart, as stated in the letter, but he said
nothing to the boy about the flogging. He got up at St.
James's-park and rode to Hammersmith, where the sergeant
stopped him. He was not present at the flogging, because
he had not received his clothes.
By a juror—Was punished fourteen days by solitary con-
finement for deserting.
Witness—Had only been seven weeks in the regiment.
Saw White go into the hospital after receiving punishment
from one of the windows of the barracks; he saw him also
in the hospital, but he did not hear White speak, neither
did he see his back.
Mr. Normanton, who was in the room, said be received
the statement from the boy's father, and that a part of the
statement which the letter contained had been corroborated
by the evidence of the witness himself.
Colonel Whyte here entered the inquest room, and the
letter was handed to him.
John Goom, the boy alluded to in the letter, was then
called—He said, on Monday last, as he was getting his
papers in Fleet-street, he was asked by a soldier to give him
a lift to Hammersmith, which he did. On the way the
soldier stated that he had been present at the flogging of
White. On passing through Hammersmith, a sergeant came
galloping after them, and asked the soldier to go back with
him, or if he refused he would give him in charge, but lie would
not do so if he went with him. The soldier accordingly left
him, and went with the sergeant. (The witness here iden-
tified the soldier How as the person who came in the cart
with him.) How stated that he was going to the George
the Fourth, at Hunslow, to give evidence.
Colonel Whyte said How was not attested until White
had been punished.
Sergeant John Darley was then called and examined—
He stated that he was a lance sergeant in the 7th
Hussars. He did not make any complaint against the de-
ceased until he was confined. He complained of him on the
let of June to the orderly officer, Mr. Russell, for being
struck across the breast with a poker. He (White) struck
him on the evening of the Ist of June, about a quarter past
nine, in the barrack-room at Hampton Court. Was orderly
sergeant at the time he struck him. Went into the room at
eight o'clock. On going round the room, calling the roll
the first time, White answered to his name, and he saw him
on going round a second time, on account of some of the men
being absent, and observed White standing near the bed,
partly dressed, with a poker in his hand. His hand was be-
hind
him—the one which held the poker. I ordered him to
put it down, but he illd not do so. I ordered him a second
and third time, but he did not obey. I ordered the orderly
corporal of the troop to take a file of men and confine him.
As soon as I had given the order he knocked me down with
the poker; the blow struck across the chest. I recovered
myself, and ran out of the room, and I saw no mere of the
deceased until he was in the custody of the guard. I con-
sidered the deceased drunk. I was hurt by the blow, and
was in bed two days under medical treatment in consequence
of it. He did not say anything to me before lie struck me
with the poker. I had had no previous quarrel with him,
and I was on friendly terms with him, nor had there
been any previous dissension. I never spoke six words
to him except as matter of duty. I had not been long in the
troop with him. In fact, theme was no ill will between us. He
never got into that state without knowing what he was
about. Ile was often the worse for liquor, and was, I under-
stand, a quarrelsome man. I considered him a respectable
man. lam not acquainted with his writing. I did not
raise my hand to strike bins before he struck me. I gave
evidence before the court-martial. White pleaded guilty
to the charge.
(The inquiry bad not terminated when our report left.)

MONEY and CONMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton and Share-markets at Liverpool, on Saturday,
were still closed for the holidays.
The accounts received from the country this morning repre-
sent that the storm of Saturday afternoon, in almost all parts
of the country, within forty or fifty miles, was very severe,
and that the damage to property has been great indeed—nay,
unprecedented. The crops have suffered in most places very
considerably, and, in some fields, the wheat has been laid
as flat as though a roller had passed over it. The
Corn Market was very fully attended this morning, and
prices of wheat were firm. About 500 quarters of new
wheat were on show, awl mostly were sold At the full
market value.

The advices from the manufacturing districts received to-
day state that an improvement has been imparted to the
markets fcr Manchester goods by the last news from the
United States, the anticipation being that modifications in
the Tariff Bill favourable to this country will be made.
" But (states the circular of Messrs. M‘Nair and Co.) ce-
sidering all circumstances, prices have bo—
generally well
sustaincd, Sieenne has been partial and trifling.
In yarns It has been greater' but confined chiefly to some
numbets of water-twist, and counts and qualities of mule
adapted for India."

By some of the recent private accounts obtained from Cal-
ova, we are advised thus :
i4ilioney is so scarce that from 20 to 25 per cent. interest
was charged for discounting first-rate papers, and even at
that rate little money was to be had, as the banks and rich
natives declined parting with their cash from a general want
of confidence."

There are not any late colonial arrivals announced in the
City this morning,
In the Consol Market a slight tendency to decline has been
shown this morning. Consols for the Account opened :It 96,
but are now at 961/s. For Transfer to-morrow the price is
dull at 9534. ENO-leper-bills are at Bs. premium only;
India Bonds at 225. premium; and the Three-and•a-Quarter
per Cents. at 98. Very little business is in progress.
In the Foreign Funds there has been a very godel sprinkling
of business this morning. A slight improvement has taken
place in the I3raailian Five per Cents., which now fectch 90,
and the New Bonds 881/2 ; Portuguese Four per Cents. continue
very steady at 451/2. Spanish Consols have rallied to 261/2 ;
but the Three per Cents. are flat at 361%. The Dutch Two-
and- a-Half per Cents. were firm at 59% %; and the Four
per Cents. at 941/2.
The demand for the lines of established Railways are in-
creasing, as well as for the scrip of selected new projects. To-
day prices are generally on the rise.
