CORONER'S INQUEST. SUDDEN DEATH.--
Last night, at seven o'clock, an inquisition was taken before
Mr. Higgs, at the White Horse, Long Acre, on view of the
body of Mr. John Morgan, apothecary, aged `thirty-four, re-
siding at No. 15, James-street, Long-acre, who suddenly ex-
pired under the following circumstances :--It appeared from
the evidence of Mr. John Swintin, an assistant to the de-
ceased, that on Monday night last, about eleven o'clock, he
was directed by his master, who was standing by the shop-
door, to go to bed. He had not been up stairs more than a
few minutes when the bell of the shop rang, in consequence
of which he returned to the shop, where he found the deceased
supporting himself by the counter. He appeared in a state of
stupor. Witness placed him in a chair and called in Mr.
Beill, a surgeon of Long-acre, and a neighbour ; but life was
extinct. It was stated that several members of the deceased's
family had died in a similarly awful and sudden manner. An
uncle, while travelling in a postchaise, was found dead by two
persons on each side of him. Verdict—" That the deceased
died by the visitation of God."
INHUMAN OUTRAGES.—We have this week to
record two instances of outrage--different in their nature, but
both aggravated in degree. On the evening of Monday last
week a young man belonging to Perth committed a shocking
assault on the person of a young woman, on the banks of the
Almond, near Huntingtower. In order to accomplish his
purpose he had subjected the poor girl to the most inhuman
usage, and her life has been considered in imminent danger.
The perpetrator was traced to Glasgow, where he was appre-
hended and brought to our gaol. The other case to which we
have alluded occurred on Wednesday afternoon, and is, per-
haps, not less wanton and cruel. A man named Watt, a
machine-maker from Dundee, had been employed for some
time here by Mr. George Adams, smith and machine-maker,
west end of Canal-street. The fellow had been rather ir-
regular in his habits, and on Wednesday had been tippling
throughout the forenoon. On coming to the workshop some
time after dinner he became quarrelsome with some fellow-
workmen, and his master interfered to chide him on that
account, and for not attending to the work. He first seized
an iron bar, with which he struck his master on the head, and
then a most unmerciful blow on the arm. That weapon hav-
ing been wrested from him he seized an adze, with which at
one blow he severed in two one of his master's legs, the bone
being cut right through, and the one part of the limb remain-
ing attached to the other only by a small integument. The
monster was secured, and is now in custody.—Perth Courier.
DESTRUCTION OF A VESSEL BY FIRE.—One of
the most awful and imposing spectacles which has occurred
since the conflagration of the Three Bees, about twenty years
ago, was witnessed in the harbour of Port Jackson. The Ann
Jamieson (a fine brig of 238 tons burden) had hauled abreast
of the King's wharf, for the purpose of discharging her cargo.
Suddenly a terrific explosion proceeded from the after-hold,
which blew up the cabin and carried away the quarter-deck.
This was followed by another report, and a dense body of
flame, which communicated to the main rigging. A strong
north-easterly wind blowing, the flames soon spread along the
brig, and in a very short time the whole of her yards, masts,
and everything above deck, were entirely consumed. It was
with extreme difficulty that the surrounding buildings and
shipping were preserved from destruction. The bonded stores
were twice on fire, and many other buildings were slightly
damaged. After burning for two hours, the hull filled and
went down. It is not yet correctly ascertained how many lives
have been lost by this dreadful catastrophe, but it is said that
seven of the crew and two labourers have met a dreadful and
untimely death. Captain Alexander and two military officers
were down in the cabin a few minutes before the explosion,
and had only just left the vessel. The cause of the accident
is attributed to the ignition of some loose gunpowder in the
hold, in consequence of a bar of steel falling on a quantity of
iron at the bottom of the vessel.—Sydney Gazette.
DISTRESSING CASE.—On the 23d of last month,
as the wife of a labouring man, named Pain, from Frome, who
was about to emigrate to America, by the ship Hornby, from
this port, was in the parlour of a public-house in this city, a
fellow, having the appearance of a gentleman, entered into
conversation with the poor woman, and learning her destina-
tion, proceeded to caution her on the numerous rogues who
abound in our streets, and advised her to secure whatever
money she had about her. He said he was also going to Ame-
ioot., the
yica, and had carefully wrapped up all the money he possessed
in a paper parcel. His unfortunate dupe, who had about her

parture. When her husband returned, his wife extolled the
prudence of the stranger,

3. The Commander-in-Chief has not yet the means of
forming his judgment of the causes which led to the disastrous
disappointments of the northern and western auxiliary columns,
but his Excellency trusts he will soon be enabled satisfactorily
to explain the reasons of failure, and to place the services of
their leaders in the same conspicuous degree of claim to the
approbation of Government, as the other distinguished leaders.
4. The Commander-in-Chief requests the orders of Govern-
ment for the disposal of the ordnance, ammunition, and small
arms captured from the enemy.
5. The Commander-in-Chief fully concurs in the senti-
ments of Brigadier Lindesay, C. 8., has expressed of the va-
luable services and meritorious exertions of his staff, depart-
ments, and officers commanding corps, and also with Colonel
Foulis' commendations-of the officers and troops of his column;
the general gallantry,_ perseverance, and spirited exertions of
all the officers and troops employed upon this service is a pleas-
ing subject of congratalation, and the Commander-in-Chief
feels assured, will be dulv appreciated and noticed by the Go-
vernor-General and the Right Hon. the Governor in Council.
6. In conclusion, the Commander-in-Chief deems it to be
his particular duty to bring to the notice of the Government
the judgment, decision, and energy with which Brigadier
Lindesay, C. 8., has conducted this important service to so
early and satisfactory a close ; and, considering the period of
the year, the difficulties of the country, and the advantages
the enemy possessed in its defence, the experience and talents
of the Brigadier have been judiciously and usefully directed
to the advantage of the public service.

P. LINDE SAY, Colonel Commanding
Coorg Field Force.
Head-quarters, Camp near Madkerry, April 9, 1834.

Extract from Field Division Order by Brigadier Lindesay,
C. 8., Commanding Coorg Field Force.
Camp Bettadpore, April 1, 1834.
The Brigadier announces to the troops under his command
that the force will probably encounter the enemy to-morrow :
it is his desire to press upon all ranks that this is not a war of
extermination, but against that part only of the Coorg nation
which may be actually in arms in support of the Rajah, whom
for his cruelties it is the determination of the British Govern-
ment to depose, and that the people are to be considered as

Ghaut, Three p.m., April 4, 1834.
The Assistant Adjutant-General Coorg Field' Force.
Sir,—l have the honour to inform you, that I arrived within
two miles of the Stoney river, on the forenoon of the 2d in-
stant. At two o'clock I ordered out a party to feel for the
enemy ; they were found 200 yards within the Company's ter-
ritories, were drawn across the river, their position known, and
their strength well approximated. On this occasion I regret
the death of Lieutenant Erskine, his Majesty's 48th regiment,
a promising officer, and the only casualty in this affair.
2. In the morning at six I marched, gave the stockade three
rounds of cannister and grape, and then stormed and carried it
with trifling loss.
3. From this time until half past three p.m. we had to fight
our way every inch, stormed two regular stockades and two
breastworks, besides felled trees without number : the last
stockade was so strong that if we had not attacked in reverse as
well as front our loss would have been serious. Our light
companies were nut in the jungle on the right, and kept down
the fire of the Coot skirmishers.
4. At four p.m. as the men were much exhausted I took up
my position for the night at Stoney Nullab, three miles and a
half from the bottom of the Ghaut, pushed on a strong ad-
vanced post with a gun and mortar, and established our flank
companies on the hills to the right which commanded our po-
sition, and bivouacked for the night. Our advanced post was
attacked by skirmishers, but an occasional alert and gun kept
them in good order.
5. At six I marched in advance, and within a quarter of a
mile of our camp met a flag of truce with a letter to my ad-
dress from the Rajah, the original of which I have the honour
to enclose.

The Deputy Aisistant Adjutant-General wrote, by my or-
ders, an answer to this effect, that if the Rajah's troops did not
fire we should not, but that as my orders were to go up the
Ghaut, go I would : they brought a portion of their troops in
front of us, allowed the flag of truce to remain, and then we
marched until my advanced flank companies passed through
the last Ookuda at Huggul, at two p.m. on this ground,
where I told them I should .remain until to-morrow morning,
they brought out grain for the troops which was acceptable, as
the far greater part of our supplies were in the rear. As the
impediments of stockades, breastworks, and felled trees are at
every hundred yards, our guns cannot be up until to-morrow,
when I march to Verah Chenderpett.
6. Our casualties are about fifty, but half my sepoys are in
the rear, I have not been able as yet to get returns. No officer
was killed on Thursday.
It will afford me the highest gratification to bring particu-
larly to the notice of the Officer commanding the force, and
his Excellency the Commander in Chief, the noble manner iu
which I was supported by my Staff, Officers, and soldiers em-
ployed in this column. At this moment the fatigue and suffer-
ing of every person in my force is such that I hope the Officer
commanding will pardon the want of details.—l have the
honour to be, &c.

the notice of the Brigadier-General commanding the force, the
noble manner in which I was supported.
To my personal Staff I am greatly indebted for the success
we have met with, especially to Captain Butterworth, who led
the attacks on the stockades, and the first that entered them,
receiving three slight ball wounds, also for the reconnoisance
which he made on the 2d, by which the situation and strength
of the enemy on the lower stockade were ascertained, and
which led to our speedy success next day. Captain Butter-
worth's choice of ground and his plan of encampment have met
with my entire satisfaction ; and his knowledge of military dis-
positions I shall be happy to have brought to the notice of his
Excellency the Commander in Chief.
To Captain James Macdonald, Deputy Assistant Adjutant-
General, who was most forward on all occasions, and to whose
energy and exertions I am equally indebted with Captain But-
terworth, as well as on the evening of the 2d, as on the attacks
on the 3d. Captain Macdonald led the light company 48th
and grenadiers 32d regiment, to take the last stockade in re-
verse; the ascent was steep, and the enemy defended every
tree. Captain Macdonald received the Rajah's vakeels, trans-
lated the letters, and contrived, without allowing the Rajah's
title, to keep them in good humour and give us supplies.
To Officers commanding corps he is greatly indebted for
the steady manner in which they led their men, especially to
Captain Cortlandt Taylor, commanding the artillery, who in
the most gallant manner brought his guns to bear within
seventy yards of the first stockade, and ensured the capture
which followed,—the unwearied exertions of this Officer
(though suffering from a sprained ankle) in always having his
guns up a steep Ghaut and prepared for action.
There are many I would wish to notice, but where all have
done their duty it would perhaps be invidious to particularize,
yet I cannot forbear to notice, that the brunt of the fighting
fell on the flank companies, especially on those of his Majesty's
48th regiment.
I should also be wanting in the feelings of a commander and
and a soldier, did I fail to bring to the notice of the Brigadier-
General (in the hopes that he will bring the same to his Ex-
cellency the Commander in Chief) volunteer Thomas Bell,
the son of Lieut.-Colonel Bell, of his Majesty's 48th regi-
ment ; this young man was conspicuous in every attack and
skirmish of the enemy.
Subadar Mooneah and Wapuldar Paup Naick, the Ex-
Rajah's vakeels, allowed their loss on the Huggul Ghaut to
be about 250 men, including four chiefs. Our casualties about
50, shall be repotted in a separate letter of this evening.
I have the honour to be,

W. C. C. F,
Camp, Mootramoody, April 7, 1834.

To the Assistant Adjutant-General, Coorg Field Force.
Sir,—l do myself the honour to acquaint you, for the infor-
mation of Brigadier Lindesay, C. 8., commanding the Coorg
Field Force, that the column under my command, pursuing
its march yesterday, came upon a strongly fortified position
(Buck) of the enemy, situated on the brow of a steep ascent,
the passage to which (a narrow defile through a dense jungle)
was obstructed by felled trees. The defile being impassable
to artillery until the position should be carried, the advance*
was strengthened, and divided into two parties, with instruc-
tions to make sufficient detour on each flank to take the posi-
tion in reverse ; from the density,of the jungle, and not having
view of the work, the two parties closed to the centre much
sooner than was desirable, and met at the same moment, im-
mediately opposite to the front of the position, from which a
most destructive fire was opened upon them ; that did not,
however, deter them rushing to the assault, which proving
wholly unsuccessful, they took advantage of the best cover
that circumstances would admit, and the commanding officer,
Major Bird, sent for a reinforcement and further instructions.
I directed an addition of 40 Europeans and 100 Native In-
fantry, with the remainder of the Sappers and Miners, to be
immediately forwarded. For this purpose Lieutenant-Colonel
Mill was directed to detach the Europeans, instead of which
he headed them himself, and was followed by the whole de-
tachment, who passed unperceived into the wood, and made
the best of their way to the position. Major Bird was directed
to use his utmost endeavour to carry the position, but should it
be found impracticable, to withdraw. His report is herewith
inclosed.

The circumstance of the whole of the Europeans having thus
irregularly been taken to the assault, which I have not failed
to notice in such a manner as to prevent the recurrence of
any future deviation from orders, while it establishes beyond a
doubt the impregnability of the enemy's position, since nothing
could exceed the determined gallantry of the endeavour,
deprived me of the means of pursuing any further measures
at the time, had there been a prospect of success from my
doing so.
During the attack the line, although placed under the best
cover that circumstances would admit, at the opening to the
defile, was exposed to a galling fire from the jungle, which the
skirmishers or artillery could not keep under, occasioning con-
siderable loss.
When the advance retired from the assault, after an endea-
* 80 Europeans; 160 Native Infantry ; 80 Sappers and Miners.

I have the honour to be, &c.

Commanding Coorg Field Force.

To the Adjutant-General of the Coorg Field Force.
Sir,—l have to report to you, for the information of
Brigadier Lindesay, C. 8., commanding the Coorg Field
Force, that, in consequence of information received yesterday
evening, I detached this morning two serjeants and forty
rank and file of his Majesty's 48th Regiment, together with a
company and a half of Sepoys, the whole under the command
of Captain Noble, attended by the Brigade-Major. They
moved forward to Bullary Pett at daybreak this morning, for
the purpose of reconnoitring the position of a stockade about
five miles in advance of this ; in the midst of a dense jungle,
about two miles distant on the march, we fell in with an aban-
doned post of the Rajah's people, but on arriving within less
than half a mile of the stockade several of the Rajah's people
were seen lurking. but they retreated amongst the bushes,
and made no attempt to oppose us • shortly afterwards
the stockade appeared in view from a sudden turn in the road
but apparently none of the Rajah's people were behind it ;
Captain Noble and the Brigadier-Major pushed forward with
the advanced guard, and approached within fifty yards of the
gateway, the road was apparently clear, but bounded on the
left by hills covered with an impenetrable jungle, separated
from us by a deep jungle gully. The ground to the right
commanded us and was crowned by stockading from the gate-
way; and which flanked the road for about eighty yards, when
it followed the bend of the hill and retired from our left flank.
We were in the act of returning when it was considered neces-
sary to examine a small pathway on the right flank, but a shot
from that quarter appeared to be the signal for a general run-
ning fire, which extended even to the rear of our flanks, and
it was here the detachment suffered the heaviest loss, from the
Rajah's people occupying the thick and impenetrable jungle
which surrounded us on every side. Immediately on the fire
commencing, the guides deserted us, and as the road is of the
very worst kind, and some parts merely a footpath with several
of a similar nature diverging from it, the detachment very soon
became entangled amongst them; it was some time before
they found the main road, on regaining which, although
closely pressed by the enemy from the hill-tops and jungle,
our loss became less severe, notwithstanding the extreme
fatigue undergone, when within about a mile and a half of the
camp we fell in with two strong parties sent out to support us,
when as the men were fatigued they were immediately marched
in under cover of the supports by whom the enemy were effec-
tually checked. I regret to say that our loss in killed and
wounded has been severe, owing to the nature of the country
' and the excessively bad road ; every valley as well as hill by
which we passed on our advance and return, commanded us on
the flanks, which, from knowledge of the country, the leader
of the Rajah's people was enabled to use to great advantage ;
there were some horsemen and two guns accompanying them.
I beg leave to submit to you the impracticability of forcing
this stockade without the aid of artillery, as from the nature of
the country there appears no method of turning it, and it is
flanked on every side by an impenetrable jungle ; in fact, the
whole road from this place to the stockade is either on the
sides of hills or in the valleys surrounded by jungle, every inch
of which may be defended against an attacking force. The
party opposed to us on our retiring amounted, I should con-
sider, to about three hundred.

I beg herewith to annex a return of the killed and wounded.
I have honour to be, &c.

Sir,—For the information of Brigadier Lindesay, C. 8.,
Commanding Coorg Field Force, I have the honour to report
the safe arrival at the Field Hospital Kensame Hooscootah of
the whole* of the sick and and wounded of the column under
my command, and that the several wounded cases are doing
remarkably well.
By the laudable exertions of Captain Laurie, commanding
the depot, due provision has been made for their accommoda-
tion in temporary buildings within the fort, the construction of
which commenced prior to my leaving on the Ist instant, ac-
cording to arrangements which I made with the Fouzdar of
the district. I have the honour to be, &c.

To the Adjutant-General of the Army, Fort Saint George.
Sir,--With reference to my letter of the 6th instant, I have
To the 6th instant inclusive.

To the Adjutant-General of the Army, Fort St. George.
Sir,—l had the honour of reporting yesterday, that the
Rajah Verarajander Woodyer had surrendered himself a pri-
soner, and was secured in the fort of Madkerry.
As this desirable event may be looked upon as the termina-
tion of hostilities, I deem it a proper occasion to acquaint the
Commander-in-Chief with the sense I entertain of the services
of the staff and other officers his Excellency was pleased to
appoint to the force.
To the unwearied exertions of Major Steele, the Deputy
Quartermaster-General, I am entirely indebted for the infor-
mation and arrangement which by enabling me to concentrate
the force on the capital, so speedily and satisfactorily effected
the object for which it was so employed. Lieut. Mackenzie,
Deputy Assistant Quartermaster-General, has performed the
minor duties with great credit. The willing activity of Capt.
Byham, of the artillery, a volunteer attached to the depart-
ment, has been conspicuously useful.
Lieut. Hicks, the Assistant Adjutant-General, has con-
ducted the numerous duties of his department with zeal and
attention ; while Captain Forbes, Deputy Assistant Adjutant-
General, of his Majesty's 39th Regiment, an excellent and
intelligent officer, attached to myself, has afforded me very
valuable assistance.
Colonels Foulis and Waugh, Lieut.-Colonels Steuart and
Jackson, commanding the different columns, have, I am as-
sured, used their utmost exertions to carry into effect the
operations entrusted to them.
The respective reports which I have already had the honour
to transmit will have put his Excellency in possession of their
opinions of the services and merits of the troops under their
orders. _ a

It remains, therefore, for me only to bring to the notice of
his Excellency the excellent conduct of that part of the eastern
column which has been acting under my orders. To Major
Poole, of his Majesty's 39th Regiment, whom I placed in im-
mediate command of the Infantry Brigade ; to Captain Seton,
commanding the Artillery, and Captain Underwood, the Chief
Engineer, I have been indebted for the most zealous and able
assistance ; and I do but justice in reporting, that the officers
and soldiers of every rank and degree have, under all circum-
stances and in all respects, merited my most perfect approba-
tion.—l have the honour to be, &c.

Camp, at Madkerry, April 11, 1834.
P. S.—l feel it due to the Commissariat Department to add,
that, notwithstanding the extreme difficulties of the roads, the
troops have never been without supplies, which I attribute to
the attention of Lieutenant Robertson, Sub- Assistant Com-
missary-General, and to the excellent instructions under which
he has acted. P. LINDESAY, Colonel.

[Received in a former despatch.]
To the Adjutant-General of the Army.
Sir,—l do myself the honour to report to you, for
formation of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chicf, tat
the head-quarter division of the eastern column of the,Coorg
Field Force under my command, this morning entered, gip
Coorg territory, crossing the Carwery at Hebhauly.
The passage of the river was slightly defended by a paity
about two hundred men, who disappeared as soon as the 'head
of the column had reached the middle of the ford.

No casualties occurred on our side; and, as far as I 'can
learn, none on the part of the enemy.
I have not as yet received the report of the operations of the
other columns.—l have the honour to be, &c.

Head- Quarters, Camp Hebhauly, April 2, 1834.

• To the Adjutant-General of the Army.
Sir,—l have the honour to report to you, for the information
of his Excellency the Commander in Chief, that the head
quarter division of the eastern column of the Coorg Field Force
under my command, this morning attacked and took the
pagoda at Ramasamy Gurnaweye, and effected a passage across
the Ghaut. The enemy made rather more resistance than I
had reason to expect.
They again made a stand at a difficult barrier situated in a
thick jungle, the approach to which was much obstructed, but
the troops speedily dislodged and drove them off.
I am happy to be able to state that the casualties on our side
have been very few ; I herewith transmit a return ; the enemy
are said to have lost eight or ten people. We took one gun
and twelve prisoners.

I have as yet received no report from the other columns.
I have the honour to be,

To the Chief Secretary to Government, Fort St. George.
Sir,—l have the honour, by order of the Commander-in-
Chief, to forward, for submission to the Right Hon. the Go-
vernor in Council, copy of dispatch received at three n. M. this
day from Brigadier Lindesay, C. 8., commanding Coorg Field
Force.
The Commander-in-Chief has announced the surrender of
Madkerry at this station by a Royal salute.
The Brigadier speaks in all his dispatches of the admirable
conduct of the troops in all respects, and of the exceeding fa-
tigue they have cheerfully undergone in dragging the guns
and tumbrils over mountains where the bullocks could do no-
thing.—l have the honour to be, &c.,
T. H. S. CONWAY.
Adjutant-General of the Army.
Adjutant-General's Office, Head-quarters,
Camp, Bangalore, April 9, 1834.

To the Adjutant-General of the Army, Fort St. George.
Sir,—l have the honour to report, for the information of his
Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, that the head-quarter
division of the eastern column of the Coorg field force marched
to Madkerry, the capital of the Coorg country, this morning,
and took possession of the fort without any opposition, on the
walls of which the British flag has been displayed under a
Royal salute, and it is now occupied by the light company of
his Majesty's 39th regiment.
The fort was vacated by orders from the Coorg Rajah Rre-
vious to our arrival, and it is expected that he will deliver him-
sel, into our hands to-morrow.
The troops were much harrassed the last two marches in
consequence of the natural difficulties of the road, which were
much increased by large trees being thrown across, and caused
much delay in removing them, and yesterday we. could only
advance five miles in fourteen hours. We met with no other
obstructions from the enemy, all.the stockades having been
deserted, or the occupants delivering themselves up on the ap-
proach of the column, and placed themselves under our pro-
tection.
I am happy to say that the troops continue extremely
healthy, and nothing could exceed their exertions in over-
coming the difficulties they had to contend with, under the
most trying circumstances, and I request you will express my
