FICIAL TE,ETll,fixeci without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so

CHARM! OF OBTAINING A HORSE AND CAB UNDER
FALSE PRETENCBS.—George Phillips, alias Cook, a. cab
driver, was charged before Mr. Almon with fraudently
obtaining a horse and cab from the yard of Mr. R.
Kennett, hackney cab proprietor, carrying on business
at No. 14, Broadway, Westminster.
It appeared from the evidence, that on the afternoon
of Saturday, about two o'clock, the prisoner went to the
yard of the prosecutor, and saw a man named Catlin,
whom he asked to let him have a horse and cab. He
was told that he could not have it without the permis-
sion of his employer. The prisoner left, and in a few
minutes returned, observing that the prosecutor bad con.
vented for him to go out with the cab. He further
added, that the prosecutor had given him the articles to
sign fur a full day's work. The horsekeeper then let
Lim have the cab, and told him to return with it at
seven o'clock. The prisoner asked him for his license,
when he remarked that it was in the possession of Mr.
Kennett. He signed the articles.

The prosecutor said that he never gave the prisoner
permission to take the horse and cab, and that he never
gave the prisoner license.
The prisoner stated that he told the horsekeeper and
an ostler in the yard that he was an unlicensed cab-
driver, and that he always understood when a driver
was so, that by the act of Parliament a man who is
not licensed had liberty to drive 24 hours.
Policeman Hill, C 84, said that he had received in-
formation on Saturday that the prisoner was driving a
horse and cab without a license. Witness was at the
White Horse Cellar, where he saw the prisoner pass
with the cab. He took him into custody. After he
reached Mr. Kennett's yard he (Yfr. Kennett) made the
charge against the prisoner.
The prisoner was fined in the full penalty of 5/. for
driving without a license.

BOW-STREET.

ASSAELTING PoLICE.—A. drunken, dirty fellow,
who gave the name of Jones, and a low prostitute,
named Emma Hodgkins, were placed at the bar charged
with assaulting the police.
Police-Constable, 134 F, stated that shortly before
ono o'clock this morning he was called to Exeter•street,
and there found the male prisoner in eustody of two men,
one of whom wanted to give him into custody
for stealing his pocket handkerchief. On his at-
tempting to take Jones to the station - house,
he immediately commenced estrong resistance, and in-
stantly threw him down and kicked him violently in the
side.

Another constable stated that he saw the prisoner
struggling with F 134, and accordingly went to his
assistance. After a great deal of difficulty they got him
to the station, where he behaved in the most
violent manner. He threatened to "do" for
,the
two policemen the first opportunity tliPt occurred.
It took four men to convey Jones to the station,
Police-constable 30 F, said the female was a prostitute
of the lowest description. On his going to tho assistance
of the other constable, she threw herself down and
caught hold of his legs so tightly that for some time he
could not move. She made use of shocking language,
and owing to her outrageous conduct the greatest diffi•
culty was occasioned in getting Jones to the station.
During the struggle she attempted to break his little
finger.
On the prisoners being asked what they had to say in
answer to the charge, they asserted the p,dice were
the cause of the row.

The magistrate said it was a bad cage. It was not
to be tolerated that respectable ',croons were to be
awoke in the middle of the night by persons of the pri-
soners' description. The prisoners were then sentenced
to a month's imprisonment.

INDORE.

Sir,—Having seen in the Times of this day a
letter dated Sehore, July the 4th, describing events
at Indore, and inculpating the Maharajh Hoik•sr,
tho ruler of Indore, I beg to state there is every
reason to believe this prince is and will ever
remain true to the English cause. It is no doubt
correct that the British Residency at Indore
b en sicked by Holkar's mutinous soldiery and
some lives lost, but an 'autograph letter from
Holkar himself to Sir Robert Hamilton, t'ie
British Resident at Indore (Absent in England on
leave) came to hand by the list mail, describing
the events at Indore, and expressing in most feel-
ing and eloquent terms his groat distress at the
violence of his soldiers, and his determination to
protect the English, and his wish for Sir Robert's
retur❑ to Indore.

Sir Robert having left for India by the last over-
land mail Holkar's letter was in his absence trans-
mitted to a member of the home Government.
I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient
servant, S. STEWARD,
Agent to Sir Robert Hamilton, the B:i'ish
Resident at Indore.

THE SURVIVOR FROM OAWNPORE.
Letters have been received from Ensign Robert
Browne, of the late 56th Bengal Native Infantry,
who arrived in General Havel,)ck's camp on the
15th of July. He did not escape from the intreuch-
meets at Cawnpore, but was on detache i duty at
a short distance with two companies of his regi-
ment ; they mutinied on the 6th of June, but the
Sepoys allowed their officers to escape. From that
date he wandered abut the country disguise) as a
native, until he reached the English camp, .one

LONDON, MONDAY, SEPT. 7, 1857.

Although the first duty of England at the pre-
sein time is to crush the insurrection, and at the
same time inflict exemplary punishment on the
mutineers, and the treacherous miscreants—such
it c; Saure—by whom they have been insti-
gat:d to, and supported in their sanguinary atro-
cities, every reasonable suggestion respecting
tie causes that led to the deplorable catastrophe
should be strictly and closely investigated. It
must be so sooner or later, and the knowledge of
the sources from whence the disaffection arose
may materially aid the efforts for the restoration
of peace and tranquility, and the establishment of
the Anglo-Indian Empire on a sounder basis than
has hitherto been the case. It is a leading axiom
that " truth will always be promoted by free dis-
cr.ssion." We have accordingly extracted a letter,
signed "Major," addressed to a morning contem-
porary, although we do not by any means
agree with the writer in the conclusions
at which he has arrived. He manifestly pos-
sesses sufficient practical experience to entitle
his opinion to respectful consideration. It
19, however, more as a matter of speculation than
as one for which an adequate remedy could be
a I°Pted by any Government regulations that it is
interesting,

Giving (ilia weight to " M,jor's" assertions
rtsileCt;Jig facts "the good of l times," we c tin-
not desire a return to the habits of the Indian
of6Jer of the ancien. regime.
Never did M
Vzeal, en dis-
play greater courage, and efficiency than
„imy of those who retained confidence in the
S3poy troops to the very last, and who unhesitat-
in?ly staked, and in too many instances forfeited,
their lives, in consequence of that mistaken reli-
ance:. It is by no means necessary that an officer
shall(' divest himself of his nationality—that b,
sllould "settle himself down in his Pro3idency as
his future home," abandoning all hope of return-
ing until far advanced in years to Europe* Still
less is it desirable that he should enter into rela-
tions such as those adverted to by " Major," and
which, in the great majority of instances, must
have greatly lessened his influence, in place of
es citing the sympathy which it is so desirable t
obtain amongst the troops:under his command.
There could be no great rasped` entertained for
the man " lolling on his sofa, or on two chairs,

THE EAST•

Intelligence was received a few days ago from
Constantinople of the almo3t total destruction of a
large caravan from Damascag, which had lost its
way in the desert. A letter from Beyrout of the
16th ult., in the Presse d'Orient, gives another
version :

" Our commercial community are in a state of the
greatest uneasiness, 'and if security be not re-
established in the country, all relations with the
interior will become impossible. The mail which
left ibis place on the 10th for Damascus was com-
pletely pillaged at about six hours' distance, by
the Druses. A sum of 182,000 piastres was carried off,
of which 100,000 belonged to the local Government, and
the remainder to private individuals. The Emir of the
Druses has written to the Defterdar at this place, stating
that the sum which has been taken will serve to pay
some years of arrears due to him by the Government ;
and the local authorities, instead of endeavouring to
punish the evil-doers, impose fresh taxes on the
people to make up for the loss. Another piece of
news much more disastrous, but which calls for con-
firmation; has been current here during the last
week. It is said that the great caravan which lift
Damascus for Bagdad, about two months and a half
ago, has been completely despoiled by the Be'•ains.
This caravan, which was composed of 1,250 camel',
with merchandise to the value of about 15 miliions of
piastres, is said to have turned a little from its route,
in order to reach a bank of the Tigris to obtain water,
and went astray in the desert. It was then that they
are said' to have been attacked and pillaged. -Until the,
truth of this piece of int elligence be ascertained, un-
'easinets will naturally be felt, as no one knows who may
have suffered in this calamity."

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.

- --- -
Under date of the 23d of February,— the Danish
Government ha% addressed a note in reply to the
notes of Austria and Prussia respecting the Duchies
of Ho,stein and Lauenburg.
In reply to the reproach that the Danish Govern-
ment had not fulfilled its engagements towards the

G( 'man Powers, M. de She ale (the Danish Minister
for Foreign Affairs) observes that the Constitution
promulgated on the 26th July, 1854, did not then
meet with any objections on the part of Austria or
Prussia. The Danish Minister then maintains that,
even admitting that the Constitution was irregu-
larly promulgated, it has become the basis of the
constitutional existence of the monarchy, and that
it could not now be submitted to the approval of
the Provincial Diets without shaking the authority
of the King and. ur•dermining the foundations
of tl-ie public law of the State. The note states
that a revision of the Cons itution of Holstein will
take place as soon as expedient.
I As regards,the question of the domains, while
maintaining the right of the Danish Government
to comprise it in the category of home affairs, M. de
Sheele states the read ness of ihe King to contribute
towards any arrangement which might lead to
a desirable settlement, but at the same timo
declares that his Majesty will not do anything con-
trary to a real uniun of the Duchies to Denmark or
to the existing Constitution.
Respecting the frontier line between Schleswig
and Holstein, the Danish Government declines
the responsibility of the interruption of the lab urs
of the Commission appointed to fettle it, and de-
clares its readiness to resume them.

LONDON, MONDAY, MARCH 9, 1857.

Lord PALMERSTON'S chief glory as a statesman
rests, as everybody knows, as England knows,
as the whole world knows, upon his Foreign
Policy. And how—in this crisis in the destinies
of Parties—how precisely, at this present moment,
does Lord PALMERSTON'S Foreign Policy stand in
the cognisance of Christendom ?

Setting on one side the late pacification with
Russia, a pacification we ourselves have always
regarded as most unfortunate in its character,
*because, to our mind, to say the very least of if,
both precipitate and unsatisfactory ! Setting the
recent Treaty of Peace with Russia altogether on
one side as un fait accompli, and, be it said, un
fait accompli, in which the principal ingredients in
the late " Oxford Mixture" were implicated—par-
ticularly, for example, the Noble Lord the Member for
the City of London who returned in such hot haste,
so obsequiously and conciliatively, from the Vienna
Conferences, as well as the three right hon. gentle-
men who withdrew so very precipitately, in the
midst of a Great War, from the councils of her
Britannic MAJESTY's Government ! Setting aside,
we repeat, as a deplorable event done and past,
this miserable Peace with Russia, for the insum.
cient conditions of which Lord JOHN RUSSELL, and
Mr. HERBERT, and Mr.
Sir JAMES GRAHAM, and
GLADSTONE are, if possible, more responsible even
than the Noble Viscount at the head of
the present Administration How, precisely,
apart from this One Question of the Rus-
sian Compromise How, exactly, at this
juncture does Lord PA.L3IERSTON's Foreign
Policy stand within the knowledge of Christen-
dom ? Has it abated one jot of its dignity, of its
precision, of those chivalrous and patriotic quali_
ties which are among the most conspicuous of its
distinguishing characteristics ? At the present
moment, when the Majority of Sixteen suddenly
compels the Prime Minister to announce his in-
tention of Appealing, as soon as it is at all practic-

REPRESEA TATION OF MARYLEBONE.

Mr. Jacob Bell, who contested the representation
of this borough, with so much spirit and ability, at
the last election, in opposition to Lord Ebrington,
having heard that the noble lord means to solicit a
renewal of the suffrages of the electors, has
which opposition
ever.
intimated to his lordship his intention f not
again opposing him. This is very generous on
the part of Mr. Jacob Bell, 'mid will not be
without its weight if be should contest the re-
presentation of any other place. With regard
to the other member, Sir Benjamin Hall, no one

THE IRON ORE OF UPPER ASSAM:

Colonel H. Goodwyn has sent in an official re-
port to the Bengal Government on the nature
and qual.ty of eight specimens of iron ore obtained
from the districts of Upper Assam. Ono specimen
obtained from Doobri was finely and very closely
granulated, and would be well adapted for the ma-
nufacture of steel. Another fr >m Golaghaut, was
pindy and irregular, but tough, and ay.uld ag-
swer for a variety of purposes, such as nuts, bolt,
arc. Another, Tiroo iron, was cf an uniform
grain, tough, and suitable for the more refined de-
scriptions of irou work. A fourth, Dingernoo iron,
was unequally grinulared, partly fibrous, and
partly crystal me, but would answer for such coarse
works as iron graringi, gaol fittings, &c. Specimen
No. 6 is the knife manufactured from native lion
ailuded to by Dr. Macnamara in his report. The
t•tol bars tempering and letting down very well;
the manfacture, however, is coar§e, and the blade
pinny and irregularly steeled. Colonel Goodalli
sums up : In conclusion, I would obw,rve that bal.
ing had much conversation and some little corres-
pondence with Colonel _Hannay, and aided by the
further light thrown on the subject by the results
of the exam'nation of the ore itself as reported
above, I am led to believe that Assam might be
made capable of supplying Bengal with iron, as the
or s there produced are good, and water carriagesef
available to the spot. In fact, if the resources
the country are property developed, I have ne
doubt but that Bengal can be made to minister to
her own wants ca Moth iron and clays, by produc-
ing what is required, instead of depending as et
present on the home market. Assuming for grant-
e I that the capabilities of this country as regards
the supply of iron are undoubted, as is evident by
the spec'mens which are here produced, wrought
by means of the simple and rude furnaces of We
natives, it cannot be difficult to forerel how much
that produce can be improved, and how vast would
be the advantages by the setting up of proper
smelting furnaces and rolling mills for the lower
provinces.

ODESSA.

A letter from Odessa of 23d Feb. informs us that
the announced Russian Steam Navigation Company
had as yet given no sign of life. Their agent, Capt.
Arka4, had endeavoured to purchase some steamers
in France,*but could find none fit. for his pur-
pose. He subsequently went to England, whey e
he purchased eight steam-boat', which are daily
expected at Odessa. Trade is so dull in that
town that several merclh,nt captains had discharged
their crews and laid up their ships, seeing no chance
of procuring a freight. The port had been frozen
for 10 days, and was not clear of ice until the 18th
Feb. The English steam-frigate, which brought
the English Commissioners for settling the boun-
daries, had sailed. The Danube being frozen the
Commissioners could not proceed from Varna to
Gala' z, and were forced to go round by Odessa.
