I seeing its end. After restoring our milita-y superiority
' in India there should be an amnesty proclaimed by the
Queen—(cries of no, no)—and not in the usual mauler,
believing that the latter would have no effect,-but con-
sidered a' matter of weakness. A. royal amnesty if
proclaimed with the change of Government woul6 be
considered in India an act of grace and strength. (Cries
of no, no.) A. sense of duty against his rea-on
induced him to appear in this singular opposition. (Hear,
bear.) He thought that the appearance at Delhi of a
son of the Queen of _England, surrounded with all the
pomp and pageantry of Royalty—now that the last of
the Princes of the Titnour race was fast fading away—
would have more effect en the people of that country,
and sooner-'restore tranquillity, than the arrival of
100,000 men., (Cries of "No, no.") It appeared
to him that with the meagre information they possessed
as to the intention of the Government measure, it was
waste of time to discuss the establishment of imaginary
councils or possible Indian Secretaries of State, Zoe as
mentioned in the petition. He thought it would be for
the public good that the two boards ahould be brought
more into harmony; but no Minister would, he thought,
be rash enough to tamper with the present government
in India. The same machinery must be continued there,
the only change being in the proclamations running in
the name of the Queen instead of the Company. He

disagreeable duties the directors had to perform. He
would rather the patronage in reference to the civil
servants should be openly distributed, One-half being re-
nerved for the 80138 and relations of those who had died
in the service. Any change made in the militaripatron-
age was likely to be abused.
Dr. BURNES, ICH., late Physician-General, Bombay,
whose son is now a prisoner in the hands of the rebels
in Lucknow, said that after 28 years of Indian
experience, he came forward to express his unqualified
approbation of the petition of the directors about to be
presented to Parliament. Justice, trufb-,--and digni--y
were imprinted in every line, and wherever tie had been

posed absorption of the power of the government of
India into the hands of a Parliamentary party, as
being fraught alike with danger to the people
of India and England. He expatiated at Come length
on the danger of Indian patronage in the bands of a
corrupt minister and a servile parliament. He instanced
the neglect of Parliament in-the Crimean war, and their
incapacity on that occasion, and. asked what hope was
there for a free, distant, strong, and peculiar people
from the bands of he Majesty's Government.
(Hear, hear, hear.) India Laud be governed
in Eiigland. The Court of Directors had
been weighed in the balance and not found wanting, and
they were the men, one would have thought, an honest
Government would have wished to advise them. (Hear,
bear.) There was an impression abroad that no country
could be happy without it possessed institutions and
laws similar to England, forgetting that it has taken us
1,000 years to be educated fit for them. The Indian had
no idea of political riglate. His fathers before him
never possessed them, and what was wanted for India
was a well chosen and b. nignant Governor-General, who
would administer strict justice to all around him.
(Hear, le, ar.)
Captain SHEPHERD (director) complained that Colonel
Rawlinson had not given the court evidence of the evil
of the working of the double government which he so
strongly condemned. He doubted if the name of
the Queen would have that effect in India it

It was impossible to. devise a better Government than
that that now exists, which was never swayed by court-

that it would be better for the present Chair.

he had been a director -he bad kn,.wu many Bach in

tion that might easily be introduced. (Hear, bear) He
concurred in the view that the proposed change was 'lll'

It would be considered aconcession to successful mutiny
by the natives.

Mr. MACNATJQHTEN (director) also concurred in the
prayer of the petidoo, and defended the present form of
Government.
After remarks from other hoe. proprietors,
Mr. Sergeant GANULEB moved the adjournment of the
debate, that the Chairman might have an opportunity of

mediately on landing, returned the salute of the
guard of honour while the Waterloo's band played
the National Anthem. The Prince was then con-
duced to the fitting basin, in which the Renown,
new screw st, auaship, 91, was moored. She was all
a-taut, and the Prince spoke in the highest terms
of her neat yet warlike appearance. On going on
board the Prince visited every part of her. On
leaving the Renown the Prince and party proceeded
to visit the new factory, millwrights' shops, fac-
tory, smithery, &c., where thej were received by
Mr. G. Blaxland, chief engineer of the yard, fac-
tory, &c. They then visited the srorehouses, cop-

storekeeper, Mr. H. C. G. Bedford. The Prince
was highly amused in the copper storeroom 'ty an
ingenious piece of mechanism erei.ted there, termed
the storekeeper's tell-tale, as on the Prince touch-
ing any article and taking it from the shelves the
figure door immediately swung round, changed
position, and rang an alarm bell. Ou leaving the
storerooms he proceeded to examine two new marine
boilers now being tested near the n-w boiler house

—both of which have been some weeks uniierg dug
exp-rimen ts for generating steam with certain quan
+.; "f"
infor-
mation as to the aavantaPestu V- LLdi LVPllll.liy

performance of the Royal Artillery band, a Polish
performer, M. Kratky Baschick, played a grand
introduc'ory valse on a singular ant unique instru-
ment termed the cor melodicon, or four born in
one. This extraordinary instrument, invented by
the performer, produces the effect ef duet, trio,
quarter, sestet, and of an entire orchestra.
A number of prisoners under confinement for
minor offences in the Royal Artillery garrison
at Woolwich were ordered to be libera-ed by
Major-General Sir W. F. Williams, according to

THE MILITIA.

the 2d West York Militia, at present quartered in
Anglesey Barracks, Portsea, will proceed thence to
Weymouth and Portland to-morrow, and relieve a
detachment of the Ist depot battalion, who will

and occupy quarters in Anglesey barracks on or
about Tuesday next. The head-qu ►rters of the 2d
West York Militia will vacate Anglesey barracks,
Portsea, and cross the harbour to Haslar barracks,
for occupation on Saturday.

[ADVERTISEMENT],—The misery, the disappointment, the
interminable expense of ineffectual " physic-taking," are now
happily superseded by the use of Messrs Du Barry's Revaleuta
Arabica Food, which,by a pleasing and natural action on the
system, removes chronic and exhausting disease, and replaces
languor and pain by vigour and health. Those whom it has
restored to the enjoyment of life include persons belonging
to all social grades and professions, and it is a proof that the
emotion of gratitude is more general than cynics hnagiue,
when we find upwards of Fifty Thousand of the individuals
thus relieved publicly expressing their sense of the benefits
they have derived. The peer and the clergyman, the lawyer
and the physician, the naval and military officer, the mer-
chant, tradesman, and oven the poor mechanic, have joined
in this unanimous and unparalleled testimonial. Their ac-
knowledgments partake of the same spirit which c' laracterises
the communication of Mr. Evans Pepperell, who commences
his letter by saying :—" For many years I have been
a martyr to indigestion, acidity, heartburn, constipa-
tion, and nervousness to such a degree, that I was unable to
stay alone in my room, or walk out alone, being constantly
filled with unaccountable fears ; and I have had several fits,
remaining unconscious for about half an boor. I had the ad-
vice of three eminent physicians, and taken their prescrip-
tions for a long time, but my ailments only increased under
their influence. Your excellent Food produced, I am happy to
state, an immediate change for the better, and I am now,
after two weeks' use of it, a wholly different being, with ex-
cellent appetit 3,clear tongue, free from acidity and heartburn,
regular in my functions, and getting stronger every day. My
nerves are pert-ctly tranquil, and I sleep most refreshingly.
With gratitude to you for so happy a change, I remain, &c.,
die., Evans Pepperell." Another gentleman, wh,, like most ,
others, invites Messrs. Du Barry to refer sufferers to him,
thankfully declares;—" I have found your incomparable
Food an infallible preventive of the gout." The ladies are
equally emphatic in their acknowledgments. Thus, Miss
M' Gelland expresses her thanks for the removal of dye-
pepsia and constipation, from which she had suffered for
many years. Miss M. considers Mr. Du Barry's Food a most
invaluable article of diet for invalids, being highly nutritious,
strengthening, and restorative, and she will feel pleasure in
recommending it to her friends." What invalids most re-
quire is a CERTAINTY that the article recommended to them is
capable of affording relief ; that they will not have again to
undergo (as they have so often done) the bitter. process of
trial and disappointment. This certainty they now possess,
and it is no extravagance to express our confidencelions. that
it will prove the harbinger of glad tidingsjto mil

It appeared that the prisoner was drunk in a
publichouse in Castle-street, Holborn, and in con-
sequence of his beating a little boy Mrs. Kennedy
interfered, when he knocked her down twice, and
when herdaughter' Mrs. Scotcher, attempted to
raise her he kicked her (the daughter) several times.
Mr. Cohen, an iron Merchant, being in the bar at
the time, ,an hearing the noise, at the landlady's
requ• st ran into the taproom, when lie was imme-
diat ly attacked by the pri,oner, who kicked him
several times and tried to injure him for life.
Alderman Phillips said it was cowardly for a man
to strike a woman under any circumstances ; but in
this case the prisoner urged nothing in extenuation
of his conduct in committing - uch ruffianly assaults,
and he therefore committed him to prison for ono
month with hard labour.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—Thos. Rat tigan
was brought up fur final exlmination, charged with
obtaining money from Lieut. A. Smith, of the
Fuot Guirds, by false and fraudulent reprLeenta-
tions.

From the evidence of Lieut. Smith it appeared
that some time ago-the prisoner a, plied to him for
pecuniary assistance to enable him to redeem his
clothes, so that he might go into the Flosp't d for
Consumption creditably, he being in bad health
and bay.ng obtained an order for admission.
The prisoner stag-d that he had been drum-major
:)ttliterfttUftniTsTßAt crjmea,
prisoner producer:la medal and some papers relat-
ing to his services and discharge, which he looked
over cursorily, without having any suspicion at the
t,me of their real character. Feeling interested in
the prisoner's story he advanced him some money,
and continued to make the advances that were" re-
quired to get out the clothes from pawn until the
prisoner was iu a condition to take his place in the
hospital. The money advanced to the prisoner was
upwards of 31. Having some suspicions, from cir-
cumstances that subsequently came under his no-
tice, he wrote to the depot at Colchester and to the
War-office, and the replies he received informed
him that no such man as Rattigan had been drum-
major in the sGth Regiment, or had gone out to
the Crimea, or had received a medal and his dis-
charge. He went to the Mendicity Society's office
to ascertain if the prisoner was known there, and
was informed that the prisoner was not known, but
that inquiries would be made. In a short time
afterwards he heard that prisoner was in custody,
and that evidence was forthcoming to show that an
imposition had been practised upon him.
The prisoner wasremanded until yesterday, when
Corporal John Edmunds, of the sGth Regt., proved
that Rattigan had formerly been a private in the
regiment, had been discharged years ago, and never
was drum-major.
The Mendicity Society, after Lieut. Smith's
visit, set on foot inquiries, and succeeded in ascer-
taining that the prisoner had imposed upon several
ladies and noblemen and gentlemen, among whom
were Lady Augusta Cadogau, the Duke of Welling-
ton, the Rev. J. Kingsley, &o.

THAMES.—Robert Collins, a well-known thief,
aged 3`,), and lately dwelling at 8, Mary Ann-street,
Back Church-lane, was brought up on remand
charged with stealing a horse and v,n and two
hogsheads of sugar, • value 1601., in Pennington-
street, Rat cliff-b ighway.
• It appeared from the evidence of two police-
men, James Wallace and Geo, ge Savage, Nos.
147 and 149 r their atten-
tion was called to, a horse and van which was stand-
ing near the Luudon ,Dock wall in Pennington-
fikretli,, Think, s 2.ltan with a whip stsuadiag•
victed thief, and he was on the look-out. The con-
stables addressed the man with the whip and said
to him, "There is something wrong going on
here ; where is the carman gone who belOngs to
the van I" The person thus addressed said, " I
don't know." The policeman said, " You must
know, you have got the carman's whip." The fellow
then said he (hove for Mr. Goulding. The con-
stables then looked into the van and saw the
prisoner and another man actively engaged in scrap-
ing sugar out of two hogsheads, with which the van
was laden, with iron hoops. There were sacks under
the sample holes of the hogsheads, which the thieves
were filling with sugar. The prisoner and his com-
panion immediately jumped out of the van and ran
away. The policemen started off in pursuit, but
only one man (the prisoner) was captured. His
hands, arms, face, and clothes were covered with
sugar, leaving no doubt, independent of the ocular
proof, of the work in which he had been engaged.
The sauks in the van contained 123ib. of raw sugar.
The two hogsheads of sugar were consigned to Thos.
Wilmot •Hunt,. a grocer, in High-street, White-
chapel. The horse and van belonged to Mr. Mar-
tin Gilbert, cornehandler, of 75, Leman-street,
Whit2chapel.
Mr. Selfe committed the prisoner for trial.

L A.M BETH. —Edward Burgess, Joseph Tug well,
and Jane Hilliard were charged with burglariously
breaking into the dwelling-hous• of Mrs. Margaret
L n;ston, and stealing thereform about 61. in cash
auu a quantity of wearing apparel, and Joseph
Smith, Mary Adams, and Mary Anne Seines were
also charged with receiving a portion of the stolen
pi operty.
In addition to evidence given on the previous
examination, police-constable W. Gray, 36 L, said
he was standing in the passage of the station-house
when the male prikonets were lock• d up, and heard
Smith call out from his cell to Burgess by name:
Burgess answered him, and asked what he was in
cus' ody for, and Smith replied, " for the job upon
the MoittLy night." Burgess then said that he
and Hilnard should plead guilty, and get him
di•cht,rg_il to murder the man who had
given information againzt Hilliard also said
i.h- should plead guilty on condition that he (Smith)
would undertake to murder the man. Smith said
he should undertake to do so, and would do it that
night if discharged, as he knew very well where to
find Lim; Burgess said, " I hope you will do so,
and th,t none of you will ' brown' it about my
pultint, the things away." Hilliard asked if the
purs2 1714 been found on him, and Burgess replied
that it had not.

11%Ir. Bttadon said there was no doubt in his mind
whatewr that the prisoner had been guil:y of a
gross fraud in going about obtaining money frc.m
be evoleut persons by fraudulent statements. As it
was clearly proved that the prisoner was an impGs-
tor he should send him to hard labour for three
mpnths.

M4RYLE[3NOE.—Two young men, who gave
their naives Chas. Lucas, and George Croley, were
charged with highway robbery upon the person of
Elizabeth Heuitnans.

Proiecatrix deposed that she had been living in
the service of Capt. Banbury in tho Regent's-park,
and that, having been but a short time there, and
being ',early a stranger in Lmdon, she inquired of
the prisoners, whom she met in Church-street on
the previous night after leaving her situation, to
direct her to the establishment known as the Ser •
vants' Home, which she believed was situate in Nut
ford place, Edgware-road. They told her ,hey were

we want gold," and seizing her by the throat threw

WESTMINSTER.—Thomas Fox, a man abouk
50 years of age, was charged with having feloniously
entered the dwelling-house of Mr. Edmonds, soli-
citor, and stolen therefrom a great quantity of mis-
cellaneous property of considerable value.
The arcumstanc.:s of the case are very singular,
the robbery having been committed as far back as
August last, and the prisoner owing his apprehen-
sion to the recent confession of an accomplice in the
robbery r.t present under sentence of four years'
penal servitude for forgery. Mr. Edmonds, a solici-
tor, 25, Lawrence Pountney-lane, City, resided in
August last at Oakley-lodge, Chelsea, and during a
six weeks' visit to Bognor locked his house up, re-
questing his next-door neighbour to give an eye to
it. On his return, about the end of September, he
found the whole of his wardrobe and a large quan-
tity of miscellaneous property had been carried off.
fie examined the house carefully, but there were no
external marks of violence about it, and the pre-
sumption consequently was teat it had been entered
by skeleton keys.
George Edward Wilmot, who describ?d himself
as a painter, glazier, and glass-cutter, the convict
alluded to, who had been brought from prison by
habeas, said that John Souden, the son-in-law of the
man living next door to oakley-lodge, a semi-de-
tached cottage, was what in slang parlanci is termed
the " putter up" of the robbery. In the presence
of witness and the prisoner Fox ho said that there
were articles of value jn the untenanted h, .use of Mr.
Edmonds, which could be taken by opening the
front door. The prisoner Fox spoke of a robbery of
silks he had recently committed in the country, and
said that, having spent the proceeds, he was now
" hard up," and he and witness must go and do this
(Mr. E lmonds's) " job." Witness in an evil hour
consented, and accompau ed prisoner, who
was p; ovided with skeleton keys, to Oakley-
lodge, between five and six o'clock in the even-
ing. Souden, who had invented some excuse to get
his wife and children out of the way, was waiting a
few paces off in the street. Prisoner must have been
in the house previously, for when he opened the
front door with a skeleton key he said that was the
one he had used before. Witness described the
property they took then, and the particulars o
deaf al
second visit, in which they carried off a great
more ; the property was then disposed of in differ-
ent ways.
Tne police called witnesses to confirm asmuch a. s
possible the statement of the approver Wilmot,
n
the course of which it was shown that he and Fox
had together obtained a sovereign upon a valuable
hearth-rug, had been conjointly in possession of
other property. and had sold pawnbrokers' tickets
relating to more. It further transpired that the
person to whom Mr. Edmonds had spuken respect-
ing giving an eye to the premises was the father-
in-law of Souden, and was deemed a very respect-
able man, but held appointmentanpomlye.toth

WORSHIP-STREET.—William Hißyer and
George Taverner were charged with being con-
cerned with another man, not in custody, in the
following burglary and robbery :
Bowles, a constable of the N division, was on
duty in Cavendish-street, New North-road, at 5
o'clock yesterday morning, when he discovered
that the door of N 0.13, an empty house, was open,
and on going into the passage found the yard-door
was also open. As there was nothing to steal there
which could be readily taken away without detec-

through No. 13 to search. No one was to be seen in
that or the next garden, but on getting into the
garden of No.
11 three men, who had been startled '
by the light of his lantern, suddenlysprang up from
one of the gardens of Brwlenell-place, and. rapidly _
scaled several walls leading to the main road. -
Bowles immediately raised an alarm, and on Myer- _ ,
ner and Hillyer disappearing over the last wall they - -,
were secured by two of the secreted constables, Ta-
verner
having a cloak and a pair of pateut-le:ither
boots on. Uillyer resisted with such determination
that Welsh, the officer who took him, was obliged
. _
to apply his truncheon sharply to his head to quiet
his prisoner. Au active search was made for, the
third man, but he had escaped, no one knew ho:y, .
and on Bowles making his way back again to No.
13 he found two worn-out Blucher boots in differ-
ent gardens, which were found to fit Taverner's
feet exactly, and ho then acknowledged that they
were his, and that he had sub,thuted for them the..
pair of brilliant Wellingtons ho then had on.
Mr. Gecrge Brookes, residing in Brudenelle
place, identified..the cloak and boots found ou Ta- -•
venter as his property, and as having been stolen.' -
fiom his house. He had. not the slightest idea that
no was beit,g robbed until he was suddenly aroused
by cries of "Thieves I' and on getting up and
going down sta rs he found the place in the greatest
centndon, the drawers ransacked, articles lying
about in all directions, a bundle tied up and lying
beneath the back window, which was then wide • -
open, though it had been fastened the night before,
and must therefore have been forced.
Neither prisoner offered any defence, and Mr.
D'Ej, ncourt sent botti men for trial.
