(Front the Morning Chronicle.)

The Ministerial Bill for the future Government of India 18
now before the public). Although to Lord Ellenborough is
supposed to belong the responsibility of having conceived
and arranged the measure, he would be among the first
to accord to Mr. Disraeli his meed of praise for the admirably
lucid manner in which he has d'splayed its leading features to
the House of Commons. The Bill itself must be pronounced
a decided improvement upon its predecessor, notwithstanding
that subsequent discussion may lead to modification of s me
of its provisions. Into the details of the measure we shall
find opportunity to enter. Of its general scope and bea, ing
we are bound to express approval. While not neglecting the
necessary influences which ensure " popularity," the framers
of this Bill appear to have sought the mea s of placing the
future Government of India on a solid foundation, and of ob-
taining the assistance of all the experience available among
those who have spent their lives in India, and who are gene-
rally the best judges of the wants of the country.
The reception of the Bill by the House must be regarded.
as favourable. It may be assumed, as a matter of coarse,
that the new measure will be the object of much severe
criticism, when Parliament reassembles. It involves some
bold innovations on established custom, whi h might not
have been expected from a " Conservative" Ministry, but
which indicates a disposition to go still further, on subjects
of ince e domestic interest: The chief merit of .he Bill is de-
Ave.( from the frankness with which the framers expose their
objects. Mr. Roebuck.may object to anything that can inter-
fere wi..h that despoti , centralisation which Liberals of his
class so affect; but the public at large will recognise in the
proposals of the Ministry, at least an attempt to preserve
some of that popular control over arbitrary power, which is
the essential spirit and ruling influence of our free Insti-
tutions.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A BURGLARY PREVENTED.—John Thompson and John
Lindsey, who have several aliases, and both of whom re-
fused their addresses, but appear to be well known to the
police, were charged under the following circumstances.
Sergeant Crocker, 9 C, said—Last night I was in Davies-
street, 13erkeley-square, in company of Joy, 338 A, and
while passing Claridge's Hotel saw the two prisoners stand-
ing in the doorway of No. 55. As we approached the
house heard a soft whistle, when Lindsey stepped up and
stood close to the other. I then told Joy to seize him while

I took the other. _ Lindsey then made a spring, but I
tripped him up and knelt on him till further assistance
came, as he was a very powerful man. I then heard the
jink of keys and sprang my rattle, and a man named
Sawyer came up. I asked him to stand by and search the
place, which he did. A short time afterwards, on reaching
the road opposite the house, I found five skeleton keys
in a piece of rag. On searching Lindsey, I found some
lucifer matches.

Henry Joy, 338 A, a detective. confirmed the sergeant's
evidence, and said that Sawyer picked up a key and gave it
to him. It was what was called a "skeleton Bramah,"
and having afterwards tried the door of the house found it
would open it, and also the next. On the way to the sta-
tion, Thompson said, "Thank God it is not 9 o'clock."
Had heard that the doors in the street had been tried on
different nights.

Mary Ann Hammier, servant at 55, Davies-street, proved
hearing the chain on the door rattle a short time previous
to the capture of the prisoners.

Lambert, 689, said he knew Lindsey to have been com-
mitted for three months, under the Vagrant Act, at Bow-
street.

Mr. Beadon said ho should remand them till Wednesday,
for farther inquiries as to previous convictions.

THE ARMY.

The 3d company of Royal Engineers, under the
command of Major C. H. Sedley, is under orders to
proceed from Shorncliffe to Chatham this day, for
the purpose of joining head-quarters at Brompton
Barracks. The companies of Royal Engineers at-
tached to head-quarters are all very strong, in con-
sequence of the large number of recruits who have
recently joined this branch of the service.
On the occasion of the recent visit of the Commis-
sioners in Lunacy to the. Asylum for Insane Sol-
diers at Fort Pitt, Chatham, it was ascertained that
there were scarcely any amusements provided for
the patients, as was the case at other lunatic
asylums, the inmates being left almost entirely to
their own resources. This subject, with other im-
provements suggested by the commissioners, came
under the notice of General Peel, the Secretary of
State for War, who has issued directions to the
authorities at Chatham to carry out several of the
recommendations of the commissioners. Among
other improvements orders have been given for
space to be appropriatedfor a bawling-green, where
the patients may amuse themselves at that sport.
A portion of the asylum is also to be set apart for
indoor amusements, and bagatelle and other games
are to be provided for the inmates. The space
appropriated for the patients as an exercise ground
will also be considerably enlarged, and at the same
time additional facilities are to be given the inmates
for amusing themselves under cover, during wet
and unfavourable weather. In addition to these
recommendations of the commissioners several minor
improvements will be effected, having for their ob.;
ject the increased comfort and amusement of the
'unfortunate patients confined in the. asylum. A'
library, containing works chiefly of a light and
amusing character, has been formed, and the books
are eagerly read by the patients. They are alto
supplied with newspapers, which they appear to
prize very highly.
The two prisoners of the Royal Marines under
orders to be tried by court-martial, who succeeded
in effecting their escape from Melville Hospital,
Chatham, have both been apprehended, and are
now under strict confinement at Chatham, until
the neees.-:ary orders are received from the
Admiralty, when, in. addition to their other crime
they will also be tried by court-martial for making
their escape while prisoners.
A special Admiralty order has been forwarded to
Chatham for Mr. J. T. Smith, the Mayor of Mel-
bourne, to be permitted to visit that dockyard in
company with his friends.
The following reinforcements from the battalions
of infantry at Chatham are under orders to embark
at Gravesend for Calcutta on the Gth Oct., viz. :-
22 men of the Bth (the King's) Regiment, Ensign
G. F. Vesey and 20 men of the 19th, 22 men of the
20th, 1 officer and 13 men of the 23d Royal Welsh
Fusilecrs, 22 men of the 29th, 12 men of the 35th,
and 28 men of the 75th. The following are to em-
bark for Kurrachee on the sth of Oct.:—Ensign
W. H. Warren and 25 men of the 81st and 20 men
of the 94th Regiments.

THAMES.

SAVAGE AND UNPROVOKED ASSAULT.—MaryFitzgerald,
a tall and masculine woman, was brought before Mr.
Yardley, charged with assaulting and wounding a poor man
named George M‘3lullen, whose forehead was covered with
a surgical plaster; and his face, the front of his shirt, and
his clothes saturated with gore, which gave him a hideous
appearance.

The prosecutor is a little, harmless Irishman, of rather
weak intellect, an object of pity, not of vengeance. He
dwells in Blue Anchor-yard, Rosemary-lane. He was
passing through Cooper's-court, Upper East Smithfield,
last night, when the prisoner, who was quarrelling with
some of her country people, suddenly attacked M'Mullen,
and struck him a tremendous blow on the forehead with a
poker, inflicting a fearful wound two inches in length, and
penetrating to the bone. He was insensible for some time
afterwards, arid lost a large quantity of blood.
Mr. Yardley—Why did this womanstrike you, M'Mullen?

•
Witness—For no reason at all, sir. I said nothing to
her, and she said, " Stand back, or I'll hit you," and then
knocked me down.

The prisoner, in defence, said, " I don't know what I
did."

Mr. Yardley--,What do you mean by that ?

The prisoner—l was quite tipsy, sir.
Joseph Saanders, 17 11, a police sergeant, said that the
wound received by M'Mullen was a terrible one. The
prisoner was very drunk when I took her into custody.
Mr. Yardley—What is the prisoner ?

Saunders—She is a prostitute, and left Ireland only a few
months ago, and since she has been here has been a terror
to her neighbours. _

Mr. Yardley—l sentence the prisoner to one month's
imprisonment and hard labour, as a disorderly prostitute.
MURDEROUS ASSAULT.—John Coakley, an Irish labourer,
aged 33, and Ellen Coakley, his wife, 24, were brought
before Mr. Yardley, charged with violently assaulting and
wounding Jane Lyons.
The case originated out of an Irish row in Rose-court,
Upper East Smithfield, and all the parties were at this
court yesterday, and their broils occupied the attention of
the magistrate several hours. When they returned to Rose -
court the quarrel was renewed. Mrs. Lyons, who is far
advanced in pregnancy, was passing along Rose-court,
when Mrs. Coakley taunted her, shook her pockets, and
rattled the money in it. Mrs. Lyons said "You had better
pay me the sixpence you, owe me ;" to which Mrs.
Coakley- replied, " I will owe it to you as long as you oi-ed
me a shilling," and struck Mrs. Lyons. The male prisoner
said, " Give it to her ;if you don't, I will." They both
kicked her and beat her, and the consequence of the out-
rage, Mrs. Lyons said, was likely to be a miscarriage. She
had certainly received most serious contusions and bruises.
While the prisoneis were beating and kicking her a Mrs.
Murphy called out " Kick it out of her ; kick her out;"
and used other expressions of a similar character.
The prisoners said Mrs. Lyons was the aggressor, and
annoyed them directly they returned from the police-court.
• Several witnesses were examined, and their evidence went
to prove both parties were equally to blame.
Mr, Yardley said be was afraid Mrs, Lyons was a long-

THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE.-
It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious
article of animal diet first made its appearance ; and already
its celebrity is wo id-wide. It has been a subject of wonder,
and has puzzled r tany a brain to explain how this has been
brought about. Vet when we are acquainted with
.a few facts
concerning the fond, our wonder will cease. A few days since,
a gentleman wrote, stating. that he had a horse which was a
" perfect bag of ;bones." He tried all kinds of things to get
the animal into t!ondition, but in vain. He then bought some
of Thorlev's foal; and he says the effect was wonderful. The
horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks had
gained no less I„han 12 stones. Again we find at the late a,gri-
cultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, Are., the animals which
carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thor-
ley's food for ci Lttle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we
are forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely
from its own intrinsic merits, and the great demand for it can
proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those
who have tried it. All parties interested in horses and cattle
will do well to apply to 77, Newgatc-street, London, for a
pamphlet which is sent post-free.

CORN EXCHA.N GE.

Fresh up, to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, only a
limited supply of English wheat crane to hand ; but we had
several of Monday's unsold samples on offer. The demand
for all kinds was in a very sluggi: ih state, but we have no
further decline to notice in prices.
Nearly 12,000 quarters of forei or wheat have come in
this week. Even the finest qualii ies met a dull sale ; in-
deed so little business was transa( ted that the quotations
were almost nominal. Fleeting c•ngoes, too, were a heavy
sale. -

We were fairly supplied with, inferior barley ; but the
show of prime samples was very 'limited. The former sold
heavily ; but the latter were fir.n in price. The malt trade
was healthy, at full currencies, '
Oats—the-supply of which was large—moved off slowly,
at the late decline.

Beans, peas, and flour were dull, but not cheaper.

STATE OF TRADE.

LEEDS, SEPT. 28.
The cloth-halls have been moderately well at-
tended by buyers this morning. The tone of the
market was quite firm and cheerful, and about an
average amount .of business was done for Tuesd:
market. Mantle cloths and other light fabrics have
been in most request. There is no quotable change
in the price of either wools or cloths.

MANCHESTER, SEPT. 28.

A quieter feeling has pervaded the market., hit
prices have been firm, except in a few eases where
spinners have been coming out of orders and are
anxious to secure new ecntracts. In these eases
buyers have benefited to the extent of N. per lb.
This does not apply to coarse yarns, for which
spinners have heavy contracts, and arc d!sinelined
to give way. Double yarns and fine wrappers arc
in as great request as ever, and very firm in price.
In cloths the market has been heavy, especially for
shirtings and other goods suited to the India. Mar-
ket, and parties obliged to sell would have to take
3d. per piece less than the rates of Tuesday last.
The absence of the India mail at a period -when
heavy transactions have been entered into is creating
anxiety, and though many commercial men anti-
e,pate good advises by their next letters, there is an
unwillingness to enter upon new transactions before
they come. In domestics, long cloths, T cloths and
printers for home trade there is no quotable difference
in rEces, but the whole tone of the market is
(juieter. Messrs. • John Slagg and Co. report :
" India and China goods of all descriptions have
I;e2n much neglected throughout the week. To-
day buyers still held back as much as possible. and
the few sales of 40-inch shirtings which have ben

made have been at a decline of about :Id per piece
on the extreme rates asked a • week or ten days
ago, but at which very little business was done.
For other kinds the demand generally is of a lcsi
active character, but so far there is no giving way
in prices." Messrs. George Fraser, Son, and Co.
report :—" The tameness which we noticed last
week in the demand has Lub,equently become
daily more marked, and now affects yarns as well
as goods. To-day's market has been decidedly
flat, and prices are in many instances somewhat
lower."

The portrait' of his Royal Highness the. Prince
Consort, painted by Mr. Philip, was placed in the Aberdeen
Town Hall on Friday afternoon. The likeness is said to be
admirable. His Royal Highness is represented in the
Highland garb.

quired to produce his Certificate, or to permit the same to be
read, or a copy thereof to be taken, or refusing to declare his
true name and place of residence, also incurs a penalty of £2O.
Gamekeepers are desired to take notice that a Certificate at

tect a Gamekeeper, it is requisite, not only that he should be
deputed by some Lord or Lady of a Manor or reputed Manor,
but also that such deputation should be registered with the

dences of all persons surcharged in double Duty for sporting
without Certificates.

CORN EXCHANGE.

limited supply of English wheat came to hand ; but we had
several of Monday's unsold samples on offer. The demand
for all kinds was in a very sluggish state, but we have no

Nearly 12,000 quarters of foreign wheat have came in
this week. Even the finest qualities met a dull sale ; in-
deed so little business was transacted that the quMations
were almost nominal. Floating cargoes, too, were a heavy
sale.

This case has been tried twice before, and in each ease his
Honour gave a verdict for plaintiff. Application was then
made for a new trial, and that with a jury. Mr. Buchanan
appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Lucas was counsel for
the defendant. The question• tried was, whether defendant
agreed to pay plaintiff, who had been his traveller, salary
and commission, or only, commission. A great deal of
evidence was given, and the jury found. for plaintiff. The
costs will be very heavy.

THE ARMY.

The 3d company of Royal Engineers, under the
command of Major C. H. Sedley, is under orders to
'proceed from Shorncliffe to Chathan 1. this day, for
the purpose of joining head-quarters at Brompton
Barracks. The companies of Royal Engineers at-
tached to head-quarters are all very iltrong in con-
sequence of the large number of recruits who have
recently joined this branch of the service.
On the occasion of the recent visit cof the Commis-
sioners in Lunacy to the Asylum for Insane Sol-
diers at Fort Pitt, Chatham, it was as oertained that
there were scarcely any amusements provided for
the patients, as was the case at ,other lunatic
asylums, the inmates being left almo st entirely to
their own resources. This subject, 1% nth other im-
provements suggested by the commit, isioners, came
under the notice of General Peel, the; Secretary of
State for War, who has issued directions to the
authorities at Chatham to carry out several of the
recommendations of the commissioners. Among
other improvements orders have beim given for
'pace to be appropriated for a bowling, green, where
the patients may amuse themselves a.t that sport.
A portion of the asylum is also to be ,set apart for
indoor amusements, and bagatelle and other games
are to be provided for the inmates. The space
appropriated for the patients as an eme rcise ground
will also be considerably enlarged, and, at the same
time additional facilities are to be givert the inmates
for amusing themselves under cover, during wet
and unfavourable weather. In addition to these
recommendations of the commissioners s oral minor
improvements will be effected, having ibr their ob-
ject the increased comfort and amusement of the
unfortunate patients confined in the asylum. A
library, containing works chiefly of a 'light and
amusing character, has been formed, and the books
are eagerly read by the patients. They- are also
supplied with newspapers; which they appear to
prize very highly.
The two prisoners of the Royal Marines under
orders to be tried by; court-martial, who succeeded
in effecting their escape from Melville Hospital,
Chatham, have both been apprehended, and are
now under strict confinement at Chatham, until
the necessary orders arc received from the
Admiralty, when, in addition to their other crime
they will also be tried by court-martial for making
their escape while prisoners.
A special Admiralty order has been forwarded to
Chatham for Mr. J. T. Smith, the Mayor of Mel-
bourne, to be permitted to visit that dockyard in
company with his friends.
The following reinforcements from the battalions
of infantry at Chatham are under orders to embark
at Gravesend for Calcutta on the 6th Oct., viz.:-
22 men of the Bth (the King's) Regiment, Ensign
G. F. Vesey and 20 men of the 19th, 22 men of the .
20th, 1 officer and 13 men of the 23d Royal 'Welsh
Fusileers, 22 men of the 29th, 12 men of the 35th,
and 28 men of the 75th. The following are to em-
bark for Kurraehee on the sth of Oct. :—Ensign
W. IL Warren and 25 men of the 81st and' 20 men
of the 94th Regiments.
