From Ireland 4 Beasts, 50 Sheep, 4 Calves, and 163
Pigs have arrived by sea for this market. Compare-
tivelY speaking, theimportations of foreign stock at the
various outposts have been small. Our market to-day
was seasonably well supplied with foreign Beasts, but
the number of Sheep and Calves was small, though of
fair ave,-age quality. The supply of home-fed Beasts
lon offer teat tolerably good, and of excellent quality.
faithoug'a the attendance of buyers was somewhat nu-
merous, the Beef trade, owing to the change in the
weather, and the large supplies of meat on offer in New-
gate and leadenhall markets, was in a very depressed
irate, at, in some instances, a further decline in the
quotations of 2d per Sibs, the extreme value of the best
Scots being 3s 64 per 81bs, and a clearance was
not effected. We seldom recollect so heavy a
demand fc a. Beasts as that experienced this morning.
Pram NorfAk, Suffolk, Essex and Cambridgeshire, we
received 2,r300 Scots and shorthorns; from all other parts
of Englanet, 700 Herefords, runts, Devons, &c.; and from
Scotland,;3so horned and polled Scots. For te time of
year the supply of Sheep was good. The demand for all
breeds was dull in the extreme, and the currencies had a
downward tendency. Prime old Downy, in the wool,
sold at 4 a to in some instances 4s 4d, those out of the
wool 33 rid to 3s 8d per Bibs. Lambs, though in short
Supply, emled heavy, at last Monday's prices, viz., from
55 to 6s per Sibs. In Calves next to nothing was doing,
at barely late rates. The sale for Pigs was heavy, and
the Plot:eget:is ruled almost nominal.

BOW-STREET.—(THIS I)AY.)
A res pectably-attired young man, named Thomas Ed-
wards, tras charged with stealing a quantity of plate
from St. James'6 Palace.
The prisoner was observed by the sentry on duty be-
tween c ne and two o'clock on Saturday of ernoon ti
leave that part of the palace occupied by the Msr-
chioness: of Westmeath, and it was afterwards ascer-
tained 'ay Henry Clay, her Ladyship's footman, that
six ally 3r forks, five silver table spoons, a silver tray, and
a cruet stand had been abstracted from the dining-roorm
'where
e had been placed preparatory to the Mar-
luncheon. Information y s luncheon. Information 4 f the robbery was
given to the police, and the prisoner was arrested yester-
day morning and identified by the sentry. His lodgings
were searched, but none of the missing property was
found, nor. hact any of it been traced. The footman
swore posttively that the plat© was safe just Lefore the

time srelified, when the prisoner was seen to leave the
palace stealthily, while the suspicion against him was
considerably heightened by the fact that he wa3 a ills.
charged coachman from her Ladyship's service.
The prisoner, in answer to the charge, denied that he
had been near the palace fir the last three months, and
said if time were allowed him he could bring several re-
spectable parties to prove an alibi.
Mr. HALL said there was a strong case of suspicion
against him, and it was therefore his duty to remand
him till Thursday next.

CLERKEN WELL.-(THIS DAY.)
A RETURNED CONVICT.—A short, stout, rudy-faced
young man, about 30 years of age, with closely-cropccd
hair, and a physiognomy which dramatists generally con-
sider as a necessary qualification of members of the
Jack Sheppard fraternity, named John Welfare, was
placed at the bar before Mr. Combo under the following
circumstances.

Police constable M 447 said, about half-past ono this
morning, while he was on duty, he saw the defeneant
come out of an enelosed garden, attached to a house
near the Sluce House, Islington, and when he recognised
him ran across a field, and suspecting he had b ea
doing something wrong, he pursued him, and after a
short chase succeeded in coming up with him. He
gave an unsati.factory account of, himself, and
he therefore took him into custody. As there
was no thoroughfare across the fields ho
sus-
pected he had been in the garden for unlawful purposes.
Ho found nothing in his possession.
MAGISTRATE—Is that all the charge you pref:r?
Pullet man—Yea, but there is another officer who knows
something about the defendant.
Police-constable 178 N here stepped forward, and
said he had the accused in custody five years ago for
burglary; he was committed to the Old Batley for trial,
and was sentenced to transportation for seven years.
MAGISTRATE—HOW comes it that he has returned to
this country before the expiry of the term? Policeman
—He received a pardon.
Tae delondaut denied that he had any illegal inten-
tion, and said he went across the field because it was the
nearest cut home.

MAGISTRATE—Where were you transported to? De
fendant—To Gibraltar.

MAGISTRATE—They don't send convicts there? De-
fendant—Yes, your Worship, there has been some public
works going on at Gibraltar.
MAGISTRATE—HOW long were you at Gibraltar?
Defendant—Four years, six months, and ten days. I
came back on the 13th of /arch last with 3/. 25., which
was given to keep me. Since then I have been staying
with my brother in Cornwall. I came up to London
yesterday.
MAGISTRATE—I strongly suspect you are going back
to your old tricks again. Defendant—Never no more,
your Worship, I assure you.
MAGISTRATE.—Tbis is rather a bad case against you
Recollect you are an old burglar, who has been trans-
ported, and served four and a-half years abroad, and that
within three weeks of your return to England, you were
found in a position which would lead people to suspect
you were going to commence your old tricks again. I
shall remand you for a week, in order that you may have
an opportunity of bringing forward some persons to show
what you have been doing since your return.
The defendant was then removed.

WESTMINSTER.-(THIS DAY.)
Sarah Kipling, a good-looking, but somewhat impu-
dent young woman, with a child in her arms, was
charged before Mr. Broderip with being drunk and as-
saulting the police.
Police-sergeant M‘lienzia deposed that about one
o'clock this morning be heard cries of murder in George-
,treet, Westminster, and on proceeding to the spot he
found a man besting his wife, and a crowd collected
about the place, amongst whom was the prisoner, who
was drunk. lie took the man into custody, and was
proceeding to the station-house with him, when he was
assailed on the way with most abusive language from
the prisoner. Having lodged the man safely in the
station-house, the sergeant heard a great disturbance
outside the door, and on looking out to ascertain the
cause of it the prisoner struck him twice on the face
with an iron candlestick which she carried in her hand,
and repeated her foul language. He thereupon took her
into custody.
The prisoner, in answer to the charge, said she was
sorry for having assaulted the complainant, but that she
bad been greatly aggravated by his striking her baby
when he came out of the station-house to quell the dis-
turbance.

The complainant was recalled, and solemnly denied
having struck the prisoner's baby.
Mr. BRODERIP told the prisoner that the statement on
oath of a sober man was more to be believed than the
assertion of a woman who was drunk, and ordered her to
be imprisoned for ten days.

iVRECK OF A LARGE STEAMER

NEAR THE GOODWIN SANDS.

OVERLAND MAIL
INDIA.
(From the Herald.)

An Extraordinary Express has supplied us with
Indian journals and private correspondence, in ad-
vance of the Overland Mail, of the following dates :
Bombay, March 2, and Calcutta of Feb. 22. We
learn by this arrival that some of the Atreedi tribes
had made their appearance in the district of linhat,
where they had murdered some of our Sappers, and
afterwards carried away their implements of labour
and whatever else that lay within their reach. An
expedition was therefore at once fitted out, under
Colonel Bradshaw, 60th Rfles, which started against
the ruffians on the 9th of Feb., accompanied by Sir C.
Napier and Brigadier Sir C. Campbell as amateurs.
A good deal of skirmishing occurred on the 10th and
11th between Nuttanee and Kohat, and again on the
lath on the way back of the expedition through the
passes. Ensign W. H. Sitwell, of the 31st N. 1.,
was cut to pieces ; lieut. T. H. Hilliard, 231 Native
Infantry, and three or four European soldiers, were
severely wounded. Coke's Punjaub Infantry suffered
greatly. Six of the enemy's villages were destroyed,
and the expedition appears to have been completely
successful. The troops returned to Peshawur on the
14th, leaving a detachment to guard the pass near
Muttanee. Sir C. Napier and staff were to commence
their return march to Lahore about the 17th.
The Sikkim Aaja,bad fled to the mountains, and
therefore the expeditionary troops sent to chastise
him returned to Daijeeling. The whole of his
possessions on the hither side of the Great Runjeet
River had been seized by the British-authorities, as a
punishment for his treacherous conduct.
The mutineers of the 06th Bengal N. I. had been
tried. The less guilty were dismissed the service,
while the others were condemned to various terms of
hard labour.
The India mail steam-ship Precursor took her de-
parture from Suez on the 11th, at six P.M., all well.
Among her passengers was Rear-Admiral Austin and
family, who were conveyed by order of the Pacha to
Suez, in a britska and six horses.
The political news from Calcutta is of no im
portance.

Commercial affairs at Bombay were in a gloomy
state; but at Calcutta they were satisfactory, the in-
telligence from England having had a cheering effect
both on imports and exports.
Letters from Malta of the 22d March state that
Brigadier Dundas had arrived there, on his way to
England.

(From the Bombay Times of March 2.)
SUMMARY.—Another retributive expedition sent
out from Peshawur into the hills of Kohat, to punish
a few of the Afreedi tribes who had descended on a
party of our Sappers employed in the district, put
some of them to death, and carried off the tools, &c.,
of the whole detachment, having accomplished the
object of its mission, has just returned to its canton-
ments. The avenging force, under Colonel Bradshaw,
C.B. 60th Rifles, started on the 9th, accompanied
by Sir C. Napier and Brigadier Sir C. Campbell,
C.B , as amateurs The force consisted of For-
dyce's troop, H.A., one squadron 2d Irregular, and
the whole of Daly's Punjaub Cavalry, 200 men
H.M. 60th Rifles, a like number of the 61st Foot,
the entire 23d and 31st NJ., Coke's Punjaub In-
fantry, and Lumsden's guide corps. A good deal of
skirmishing took place on the 10th and 11th betwixt
Muttanee and Kohat, and again on the lath on their
way back through the Passes. Ensign W. H. Sit-
well, of the 31st NJ., was cut to pieces ; Lieutenant
T. W. Hilliard, 23d NJ., and three or four European
soldiers, were severely wounded. Coke's Punjaub
infantry are said to have suffered severely.. Six of
the enemy's villages were destroyed, and the expedi-
tion appears to have been completely successful. The
troops returned to Peshawur on the 14th, leaving a
detachment to guard the pass near Muttanee. Sir
C. Napier and staff were to commence their return
march about the 17th. The mutineers of the 66th
Bengal N.I. have been tried by general court-martial
at Umritsir : three of them have been sentenced to
hard labour on the roads, 21 to 7 years', 30 to
6 months', and 60 or 70 to dismissal from the ser-
vice. A great number more remained for trial ; the
arms of the remnant of the corps were still withheld
from them pending the instructions of the Com-
mander in Chief. A report had been circulated to
the effect that the Huzooree Righ at Lahore had
been found to have lately been undermined by the
Seikhs, the truth or otherwise of which has not been
made known. Orders had been issued for a careful
examination of the precincts of the locality. The
new cantonments at Seealkote are to be completed by
May next. Robberies and murders were of frequent
occurrence at Peshawur. The health of the troops
throughout the Punjaub was good, and the weather
continued pleasant.—From Sinde we have no news.
Brigadier-General Manson, C. 8., had returned from

Cutcb, and proceeded up country to Hydrabad on his
tour of inspection.—The troops sent into the
territory of the Sikkim Raja _ have returned to

Darjeeling—the chief having fled to the mountains.
As s punishment for his treacherous: conduct
we have seized on all his possessions on the hither

side of the Great Runjeet River, which yield a re-
venue of 1,600/. ; added to which he loses the 6001.
heretofore bestowed on him by our Government

under treaty.—The mission from the Ruler of Nepaul
to the Queen of England was expected at Calcutta by
the end of last month. The Governor-General reached

Point de Galle on the 7th ult., and proceeded on for
Singapore and the Straits on the 9th : he is expected
back to Calcutta by the middle of the present month.
—The Hon. Mr. Dickinson, late a member of the
council at Madras, resigned the service on the 16th,
and sailed for England by the ship Devonshire on
the 18th ult. He has been succeeded at the council
board by J. F. Thomas, Eq.—Our obituary records
the death of Major R. Wroughton, late Deputy Sur-
veyor-General of India; and Commander J. G. John-
stone, I.N.—The troops engaged at Chilianwalla are to
have a bar along with the medal granted for Goojerat.
Her Majesty's 22d Foot reached Bahawulpore on
the 16th ult., all well.—Small-pox prevails to an
alarming extent in Calcutta and the surrounding
country.—An action for libel, brought by the
Rev. Mr. Whitford against the Rev. Mr. Lugard,
has just been decided in the Supreme Court at Madras
in favour of the defendant.—A dinner has been given
by the members of the Byculla Club to Sir 11.
IJundas, who leaves for England by the steamer of
this evening. Sir W. Cotton presided, Sir. W.
Yardley and the Hon. Mr. Blane being present.—
Superintending Surgeon B. P. Rooke, of the Bom-
bay army, has been obliged, from ill-health, to obtain
a furlough to Europe.—Lady Falkland has been for
the past week at Gorebunder, a place close by, re •
markable for the beauty of the scenery around, en-
gaged in taking a series of sketches —The Right
Hon. the Governor and family will, it is believed,
leave Bombay for Mahabuleshwar at the end of the
present month.—The weather is becoming warm,
but the health of the troops and inhabitants throughout
the Bombay presidency continues good. Trade has,
during the past fortnight, been as dull as it well
could be.
The following particulars of the murder of some of
our Sappers in the district of Kohat, and the march of
a force from Peshawur for the punishment of their
murderers, are from the Delhi Geordie of the 16th
February :
We have received letters up to the 9th inst.,
which state that about daybreak on the 2,1 instant,
some of the Affreedi tribes inhabiting the Kohat hills
set upon a party of the Sappers who were employed
on the roads through that district, and put several of
them to death. It was expected at first that a small
detachment would have marched on Thursday, the
6th, to visit the delinquents with punishment; but,

whether the insurgents were stringer than was at
first represented, or from some other cause unknown,
the march of the party was postponed, and on the
morning of Saturday the 9th, a strong force, under
the command of Colonel Bradshaw, with the Com-
mander-in Chief and Sir Colin Campbell in company,
moved towards Kobat. Notice had been given by
the civil authorities that the villages of the offenders
would be destroyed, and murder will be always
thus avenged. We are informed that the force
consists of—Fordyce's Troop of Horse Artillery,
two companies of the 6th Rifles, two companies
(Grenadier and Light) of the tilst Foot, the 23d and
31st Native Infantry, one Ressailah 2d Irregular
Cavalry, Daly's Punjaub Cavalry, Coke's Punjaub
Infantry, Lumsden's Guide Corps. The artillery
took 100 rounds per gun, and fourteen days'-pro-
visions accompanied the force. A provost marshal
had been appointed, and the most stringent orders
given (and they will be strictly carried out), regard-
ing marauding : all offenders taken in the act of plun-
dering or burning are to be executed or flogged upon
the spot. Four officers of the regiments left at
Peshawur have been attached to the baggage, to see
that the camels, &c.,_ are kept in 'their places in the
column, and are not allowed to lag or straggle.
Officers of the staff and of regimenta were orderd to
double up' in order to move as lightly as possible.
Head-quarter 3 camp was left standing and the
officers remain. Colonel Mountain was left in
charge of the station. The rendezvous was
on the west of the town, near the lines
of the 7th Light Cavalry, at day :break, and the
column immediately commenced moving forward. The
following was the order of march :—Advance guard,
consisting of the guides, two guns, a Resallah of
the 2d Irregular Cavalry, two Resallahs of Daly's
