(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
The Newmarket Houghton Meeting brought to a close
the turf season of 1845, a season without a parallel for the
number and quality of the races it furnished. The weather
was like the sport, excellent, and so mild that the only Ches-
terfield to be seen on the course was the popular and kind-
hearted nobleman of that name, whose success always gives
satisfaction to all classes of sportsmen.
Like the famous fox-chase of Ballyporeen, the past meet-
ing, I imagine,
•• Will ne'er be forgot
By those who were there, or those who were not."
In the first place,fifty races were run during its continuance,
six of these were won by a head, one by a neck, six
by half a length, and twenty-four by a length, There
were also four dead heats, and two of them with
three horses. In the second place, the weather induced
many to imagine it was one of the July meetings they were
attending, and when I saw the start for the Criterion I could
not help thinking upon the contrast in the weather from
when Cartoon won that race ; on which occasion the snow
had so covered the ground that the course was obliged to be
swept before the horses were allowed to start. In the third
place, there was the row between the " gentlemen by birth"
and the " gentlemen by courtesy," which ended, as might bo
imagined, in the entire defeat of the latter. In the fourth
place, it was the first meeting ever attended by his Royal
Highness Prince George of Cambridge, who bids fair to be a
constant visitor. And in the fifth place, the settling was the
worst ever known at Newmarket; scrip was offered in many
instances instead of money, and such was the state of the
market that it was gladly received. To comment upon all
the races run during the meeting would take up more of
your space than you can conveniently afford, I shall, there-
fore, merely devote a few lines to the principal events of the
week. The attendance on the Heath on Monday was im-
mense, nearly every member of the sporting aristocracy being
present, and the ring was crowded with the Manchester and
Liverpool divisions. As each horse made his appearance,
he was criticised most minutely, and the preliminary
canters were watched with breathless silence. Intrepid looked
well, went well, and found some friends, who for auld lang
syne entrusted him with a fiver for luck. Ould Ireland, the
favourite of the ring, and for whom I had so strong a pre-
dilection, looked as fat as a prize ox, went short, and gave
me but slight hopes of seeing my predictions of his success
verified. Alarm's form and action alarmed only those who were
against him, and the confident manner of Nat assured many
others, besides myself, that he was again going to ride the
winner of the Cambridgeshire. The Baron's appearance was
waited for with all the anxiety attending the debut of a
new singer, or danseuse, at the opera. Directly he showed
I mentally exclaimed sed quantum mutabus ab illo qui, at
Doncaster, on the Curragh, and Newmarket, defeated all his
antagonists in such gallant style. He looked as fine drawn
almost as Coldrenick did for the Derby, and when I considered
the hands he had got into, and the disadvantage he laboured
under in being ridden by Bumby, the jockey who
lost Alice Hawthorn the Doncaster Cup at the late meeting
there, and who is, in fact, little better than a postboy, I
was surprised at his maintaining the position in the market
that he did. Had the course been longer, and the pace not
so severe, I think we should have had a better account of
him. Best-bower and Wolf-dog were in splendid condition,
and their running was by no means discreditable to them.
Yardley gained friends just before the start, and he ran a
game horse. The race, like the Cesarewitch, was never in
doubt, and won just as easily. The result clearly evinces
how dangerous a customer the winner would have been, but
for his accident, to Merry Monarch; and, consequently, that
Nat's chance of riding a second time in succession the winner
of the Derby, was an excellent one.
Mr. Greville and Mr. Payne won a tolerable stake ; but
the Napoleon of the turf, who is very much prejudiced
against all Venison's stock, on account of their size (being
so unlike his Bay Middleton), laid against him to the extent
of 2,200/. A peat deal has been said and written about Mr.
Greville's conduct, relative to his declaration about his horse,
but as Mr. Greville is a gentleman who, for some years, has
religiously acted up to the Duke of Newcastle's idea—viz.,
"of doing what he likes with his own," he is not likely, at
the present time, to feel acutely remarks made by parties,
who would very likely, if an opportunity served, treat him
in the same way. And with regard to the opinions of the
press, Mr. Greville having previously displayed how little he
regards them, I think it would only be a waste of time and
paper to discuss the matter further. Mr. Clarke's endeavour
to play the part of Lord Lichfield and Lord George Bentinck,
was as miserable a failure, and has been productive of as
much laughter, as the piece called The Princess who was
Changed into a Deer at Drury-lane. Had the horse not been
started, I much question whether he would have'been of any
use to him again; and, on. dit, he had a hint to that effect
conveyed to him. It. is extraordinary the love of notoriety some
people have, especially those to whena retirement Is most be-
coming. My selections, Ould Ireland and Best Bower, although
not fortunate enough to get the honour of a place, ran respect-
ably,and rose from the timel wrote—theformer from 1-8 to 1 to
3 to 1, and the latter from 33 to 1 to 13 to 1; so that their
hackers could not be hurt unless they wilfully refused to
hedge. Vol-au-vent, my favourite for the Great Ebor Han-
dicap, came with a rush at the last, and from her place in the
race it is clear that had she been started at York she could not
have been far off winning. From the reasons I have before
stated, I incline the Cambridge Stakes for this year will not
be forgotten for many a long day to come. The Match be-
tween the Heroine of Goodwood and Old Oakley was a
splendid one, and delighted everybody.
TUESDAY.—We had nine races this afternoon, two of which
only call for any observation, viz., the Handicap Plate of
200 sovs., and the Criterion. The former brought out a field
of fourteen, of which Boarding-school Miss was discovered to
; be the best, to the great delight of her backers, who were

very fond.
In the latter, which is the most trying race for two-
year-olds either at Newmarket or elsewhere, nine noblemen
and gentlemen, being desirous of getting a taste of the Derby
favourite with his penalty, sent their nominations to the
post, and a taste of him they did get with a vengeance, for
he beat them all in a canter with the most perfect ease. This
was his last appearance previous to the Derby for 1846, in
which he will no doubt cut a conspicuous figure.
TRURSDAY.—The race which caused the most interest and
the heaviest betting to-day was the match between Ould
Ireland and Idas, -which was won by the latter by three parts
of a length, with 5 to 2 and Nat on him.
FRIDAY.—The sport we had to-day, I venture to say, was
never equalled on any race-course in the world in one day,
and was worth travelling from John o' Groat's to the Land's-
end to witness. Prince George of Cambridge, who was only
entered to it (as Nimrod would have said) on Monday,
looked as happy as the man who had drawn a thirty thousand
pound prize in the lottery. Would that he could induce his
royal relative, the Prince Consort, to extend more patronage
to the Turf than' he does at present. It is somewhat singular
that racing in England is more encouraged almost by the
Royal Family of Russia than by that of its own. From the
manner in which Dexterous, a half-bred two-year-old, beat
Chandelier and a small field, she was objected to by Mr.
Shelley, but that gentleman took nothing by his motion. I
know nothing of Mr. Godwin ; but I should imagine him
to be a very yoodnatured man. There were times when,
if such a line of conduct was pursued by one gentle-
man towards another, a horsewhip or a pistol would
certainly have been put in requisition. On the match be-
tween Wolfdog and Oakley the Irish division succeeded in
getting back a large portion of the money they dropped on
their favourite in the Cambridgeshire. The Glasgow Stakes
produced a dead heat between three (the first which has
occurred since 1836), and it was entirely owing to the fine
riding of Nat, who, upon Arkwright's being drawn, was
placed upon Binnacle, that he secured this splendid stakes
by a head. We had hardly recovered from the effects of
this magnificent finish, when we were treated, with another
of exactly a similar character for the 501. plate. Had not
Bumby been on Alice, I think she would have won this race,
bad as her running has been this season. Yet the manner
in which she disposed of Naworth at Chester makes me be-
lieve she could have beaten him here. The second heat, like
that for the Glasgow Stakes, was only won by a head by
Little Hampton, who, in my opinion, should have taken pre-
cedence of Naworth in the betting, judging from his former
doings.
Friday's races were chiefly small sweepstakes, interesting
only to the owners of the animals engaged in them ; and I
shall only touch upon the Nursery Stakes, the only two-years-
old handicap in existence. For this the almost Derby field
of eighteen started, and the objectionable Cocktail, after a dead
heat, with the winner of the Rutland, beat him cleverly by
half a length. In the Audley End Stakes, Wolfdog again
behaved well, and did not deceive his backers.
On Saturday this unequalled meeting was brought to a
close by eleven races, all well contested, but as the results
are not likely to bear upon future races, I refrain from com-
menting upon them.
In my next I shall take a cursory review of the past
season. TELEGRAPH.

THE DOWAGER MARCHIONESS OF BREADALBANE.
—By the will of this distinguished lady, her son, the present
Marquis of Breadalbane, has acquired a large addition to his
fortune. Her Ladyship's will was recorded in Scotland on
the 6th ult., and has just been proved in England by his Lord-
ship, the sole executor; the personal estate in England is
sworn under 120,0001. Her Ladyship has bequeathed a legacy
of 10,0001. to the Earl of Lauderdale, in testimony of her
sense of the valuable services which his Lordship had ren-
dered to the Breadalbane family. With the exception of such
legacy, her Ladyship has left the whole of her estate to her
son, the present Marquis, absolutely. The will was made in
Scotland, in the year 1843.—Scotch paper.
GLASGOW COLLEGE A RAILWAY TERMINI3S.—
Though some doubts were at first entertained regarding
Glasgow College becoming a railway terminus, at least with
the consent of the Principal, Professors, &c., we now learn
that all speculation on the subject is at an end, and that the
heads of the college are themselves to apply for an Act for
this purpose. This resolution was, we believe, coma to last
week,—Glasgowrot.

MARKET IN TELLIGEN CE.

(From the London New Price Cu? rent of Nov. 11.)
SuaAn.—To-day there was a fair business transacted in
British Plantation . Sugar for grocery and refining purposes,
and the rates paid generally exhibit an advance on those of
Friday of 6d per cwt. The operations would have been to a
much larger extent had it not been for the small and indif •
ferent show, together with the stiffness of the merchants..
There are many town and country orders unexecuted for all
qualities. • -
REFINEP.-.-TO day Refined goods were in excellent request'
by theiime'trade, and the market has a very firm appear%
ance, brown grocery lumps were sold at 65s Gd to 665, and
standard lumps 675. Bonded Crushed Sugar was purchased
with caution, and 34s 6d to 35s per cwt taken for the best.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon Mauritius Sugar met with
eager purchasers, and 4,806 bags 39 casks at auction went at
au advance on former rates of 6d to Is for yellow, and Is to
2s per cwt for brown and grey. Syrupy 45s to s 6d, and
Sugar drainage damaged 49s Gd per cwt.
LAST INDIA.—This afternoon Bengal Sugar was in excel-
lent request, and 2,880 bags at auction were all sold at full
rates for white, whilst yellow brought 6d per cwt advance.
Benares fine white fetched 59s to 60s, good 58s to 58s 6d,
damp and washed 57s to 59.-, Gd, good strollg grainy yellow
Dobah kind 55s to 55s 6d. middling 53s Gd to 54s 6d, low

per cwt.

FonEIGN----Althongli the stock of Foreign
_Sugar has been

further increased, stilt holders .have re.franied from offering
any at auction since this day week, but there are few ship-
ping orders, and our refiners working under bond are gene.
rally supplied for the present The rates taken for all kinds
of Brazil hay.e been rather under those previously quoted, still
only 150 chests Bahia have been sold, white at 275, brown 225.
Yellow Havannah has been purchased with caution, and
holders are more inclined to sell. The business transacted in
all other kinds of Foreign has been to a small extent.

Hors.—There has been only a limited busiyess done, but
full rates are insi,ted upon. The duty for the Kingdom is es-
timated at 155,000/. to 160,0001.
COFFEE.—This afternoon the market was much better sup-
plied with Ceylon Coffee, and six parcels, amounting to
4,741 bags and 5 casks, were submitted to public competi-
tion ; the trade were less inclined to operate, and a small
proportion only was actually sold. Plantation sustained the
former value, whilst Native went 6d per cwt cheaper.
Of Mocha there was a larger quantity offered at public sale.
Of Madras two cases sold at 53s for good ordinary green ; 28
bags of sea damaged ditto 50s, and inferior 33s to 35s : 50
barrels and 15 bags of Rio taken in at 57s for middling colory
TEA. —There has been a falling off in the demand for all
descriptions since this day week, occasioned by the large
public sales declared for to-morrow; the quantity offered will
amount to 20,000 pkgs. Congou has been purchased with
caution, and in some cases rather lower rates have been taken.
Poucliong is held for 5d to 10d for low to good quality, but
there has been little business doing. Twankay is not cheaper,
but the trade operate with caution. Although Imperial and
Gunpowder are offered at low rates, still few buyers are to be
met with. _ _ .

MOLASSES.—There has been much inquiry after West
India, but purchases of moment have been prevented pri-
vately, by the advanced rates insisted upon by holders. That
a considerable increase will shortly take place in the demand
for Molasses there can be no doubt, especially if they are
allowed to be used in the distilleries. Honey has been sold
to a large extent, and at advanced rates. This afternoon at
public sale 99 hhds of Bengal Treacle sold at l9s 6d per cwt.
for dark thin.
SPICES—This afternoon Pimento met with less attention,
and 362 bags at auction were only partly sold 3%d for good
middling, being barely the former value. Black Pepper was
purchased with caution privately. Barbadoes Ginger 42s
per cwt for middling quality, being above ats value.
The market was much better supplied with nutmegs.
Of Mace the large quantity of 54 chests was offered at public
sale, but a few only sold at a reduction in prices of Is to
is 3d. Singapore good quality went at 3s 9d, good middling
3s 5d to 3s 6d, middling 3s to 3s 4d, and mouldy 2s 4d to
3s 4d. The reeftainder has' been taken in at 4s to 4s 6d for
Penang of sound quality.
SPlRlTS.—Leeward Island Rum has been much in request,
and prices continue on the advance: large parcels out of
first and second hands have been at 2s 2d to 2s 3d
per gallon proof strength. Calcutta has been much sought
after, and further advanced rates are offered, but business
is still prevented by the unwillingness of merchants to sell.
The business transacted in Demerara has been at stiff rates.
Jamaica has fully sustained the former value. Brandy has
met with little attention, and there are sellers on lower
terms. Geneva is held with firmness, and is wanted for ex-
portation at 2s 2d to 2s 4d ; fine for home consumption is
fetching 2s 7d to 2s lOd.
SALTPETRE.—To• day 738 bags were submitted to public
competition, and sold at a decline on former rates of 6d per
cwt, 8 per cent refraction ; good middling yellowish fair
chrystal went at 25s 6d to 26e; 5i per cent, good grey fair
chrystal, but inferior colour, 26s to 26s 6d; 411 per cent, good
dull dingy grey, 265; unrefracted 25s to 25s 6d, low 235, and
sea damaged 22s to 23s per cwt.
RICE. —Bengal has been purchased freely—the rates paid
are fully equal to those previously quoted and the supply is
still insufficient for the demand. Madras has been in much
better demand, and prices are still on the ascendancy. Java is
much wanted, but there is scarcely any to be had, and stiff rates
would be given. Patna has been in excellent request at 23s
to 28s. Caroline is fetching 36s to 40s, and is wanted. Sago
has-been much sought after, but business has been checked
by the high prices insisted upon.
TALLOW.—There has'been a large business transacted in
Russian on the spot, and an advance of 3d to 6d per cwt
has taken place since Tuesday last. For delivery a good
deal has been doing at improved rates. Home trade Tallow
has been in excellent request, and fetched 42s net cash. For
all other descriptions a good demand has been experienced,
and in some cases the rates obtained have been rather above
those previously quoted.
Oius.—Further reduced rates have been submitted to for
Linseed Oil. Rape Oil is still wanted and prices
rule firm. Cocoa Nut has been in excellent demand,
and the rates paid are rather above those of this day week.
Palm is rather cheaper ; the demand, however, has been
good. Olive has met with little attention, and holders are
inclined to sell. Gallipoli at 40/, Spanish at 30/. For Cod
Oil further reduced rates having been taken, tempted
buyers to operate with more freedom, and at 281 5s to
281 lOs per tun a fair business has been done. Seal,
however, has been purchased with caution, although there
are sellers at the moderate rates of 301 for pale, 281 to 291 for
straw, 26/ to 271 for yellow, and 251 to 25/ lOs per tun for.
brown. The business transacted in Southern has been to a
small extent, notwithstanding the low prices at which there
are sellers. Holders of Sperm are not inclined further to
reduce their prices, but .the amount of business transacted
privately has been to a small extent. '

THE LORD RECTORSHIP OF THE
UNIVERSITY OF GLASGOW AND THE
FREE CHURCH.
We regret to learn that a section of the Free Church party
in this city have determined to oppose the re-election of
Mr. Rutherford as Lord Rector of the University for the en-
suing year. Mr. Rutherford was, at the last election, the
Free Church candidate; and it was by the union of Free
Churchmen with the Liberal party
.generally that he was
elected by so triumphant a majority over the Earl of
Eglinton, a man of moderate Conservative politics, and
personally more popular than any nobleman in Scotland.
Remembering these things, we have been led to inquire
What cause of offence Mr. Rutherford has given, that any
party in the University should wish to depart from the
customary routine of re- election, and cast a stigma on the
public character of the man of their own choice. We have
learned with surprise that his vote on the Maynooth
question has been the sole reason, and that to make their
own bigotry more apparent and shameful, this party, Liberals
as they pretend to be, have resolved to propose a high Tory
for the office, viz., Mr. Campbell, of Monzie, simply because
he is opposed to the Maynooth grant. We have been told
that it is only a small and uninfluential section of the sup-
porters of Mr. Rutherfurd at the last election who have
adopted this course, and we would fain believe, for the honour
of our. ancient University, that in this respect our information
is well founded. The ungraciousness of such an act towards a
man who has borne his honours so meekly, and performed
his duties so satisfactorily als Mr. Rutherford, is apparent
enough to everybody—even to those few who may have re-
solved to oppose him • but its injustice and impolicy are even
more striking. Surely we have had enough, and more than
enough, of Maynooth. Surely we have sufficiently insulted
the conscientious belief of millions f our fellow-subjects,
during the recent discussions in Parliament, without bring-
ing forward the question on every public occasion. Were
the question not settled, never more to be unsettled, except
by the establishment of pure Voluntaryism—the object of
such a proceeding would be real and comprehensible. But
to punish Mr. Rutherford now for his vote would be a
manifestation of sheer spite, which would do infinite dis-
credit to the party that indulged it. We trust that all the
true friends of the Free Church—all the more sensible,
liberal, and tolerant members of that great, aud, in
many respects, admirable body, will prevent the
scandal !that these ultra bigots would draw down
upon them, by uniting cordially in support of
the man, whom last year they delighted to honour; and
who has done nothing in the interval that can justify to the
mind of any person of sense and right feeling, the with-
drawal of their confidence. If justice does not counsel this
course of proceeding, policy will afford them an argument.
Let them remember that, even should the whole Free Church
party unite, they could not carry the election of Mr. Camp-
bell of Monzie. If a contest between him and Mr. Ruther-
ford were unfortunately to arise, Lord Eglinton would be
brought forward, and carried triumphantly—not because be
is more popular in the University than he was last year—but
because of the unwise dissensions of those who ought to have
remained united. We do, therefore, trust that the small sec-
tion we have alluded to will take warning in time. If they
will rake up the unhappy question of Maynooth, let them
wait till next year, when Mr. Rutherfurd's term of office will
expire ; and they can then do so upon a vantage ground,
which they have not now, and without incurring the odium
of so much uncharitableness as will cling to them, if they
persist in their present intention.— Glasgow Argus.

SUICIDE BY Paussic AClD.—Last evening Mr.
Bedford concluded an inquest upon the body of Mr. William
Smith, newsvender, late of Little Marlborough-street, aged
34. From the evidence it appeared that the deceased had
been rather low• spirited and dejected. Last Wednesday,
after having had a friend to dine with him, and with whom
he parted in apparent health and spirits, his wife had to go
out for some coals, and upon her return he, in the kindest
manner, desired her to come and sit upon his knee. She did
so, when she instantly perceived that he was very faint, and
attempted to arouse him, but in vain, as he was perfectly in-
sensible. Dr. Johnson was instantly sent for, and, upon his
arrival, found him dead. About a month before, deceased
purchased a drachm of essential oil of almonds at Mr. Rae's,
Wardour- street, alleging that he required it for pastry.
After his death the bottle was found emptied of its contents
upon a shelf in the room. Dr. Johnson, assisted by Dr.
Ryan, of the Polytechnic, made a post mortem examinatiot,
and detected in the stomach a sufficient quantity of prussic
acid to destroy life. The jury returned a verdict of " Tem-
porary insanity."

THE ASSAM COMPANY.

Yesterday a special general meeting of the proprietors of
this Corporation, established to promote the cultivation of the
tea plant in Upper Assam, was held fo: the purpose of de-
claring a dividend, for the receipt of a report from the Court
of Directors, and upon other affairs. The chair was taken at
one o'clock by Sir G. de H. Larpent, Bart. The minutes of
the last Court having been read,
The CitammAN read the following report, after remark-
ing that the. present meeting was specially convened, ac-
cording to the understanding come to at the last Court, and
that he. was happy to state that the Directors had a report
to submit which they trusted would meet with the approba-
tion of the proprietors. Since the report had been drawn
up there had been more satisfactory accounts received. The
following are the material points in the report of the di-
rectors :

" In the first place, they have to congratulate you on the
attainment of an object which from the commencement they
have always deemed of paramount importance, viz., the in-
corporation c f the Company. The last advises received from
Calcutta have brought us the gratifying intelligence that the
Act incorporating the Assam Company had just been passed
by the Governor-General in Council, and we have the plea
sure to inform you that the Act itself is perfectly satisfactory,
By this measure the Assam Company has become a corpora-
tion, your liability as shareholders has been limited, and the
business of the Company will henceforth be carried on with
all the facilities which the corporate character affords.
" Your Directors have not received an account of the pro-
duce of the current year, and are unable to inform you of
its probable amount. But in consequence of an unusual
and extraordinary drought in the province, during the
months in which the first pickings are gathered, which re-
tarded the vegetation of the plants, they have reason to
believe that the produce fall somewhat short of their
expectations, but to what extent they have no means of
knowing. The only accounts of the manufacture that have
been received are up to the 30th June, including four months
out of the eight of the tea-making season, to which period
about 100,0001bs. of tea had been made. Great attention is
now being bestowed in India on the classifying, sorting, and
packing of our teas, and your Directors hope that an im-
provement in these important details will give the produce
of the current year a higher character and greater value in
our market. The greater part of the produce of 1844 has
now been received, and a sale took place on the sth instant.
Your Directors believe that the concern is now being worked
to profit, although to what extent they will probably not
have the means of ascertaining with accuracy until they
have seen that the expenditure continues to be kept down
to the present amount. They consider, however, that by
making a dividend of 10s. a share out of the profits of the
Company, they will be on the side of safety, and will have
ample funds remaining in their hands to carry on the con-
cern for the ensuing year. Accordingly they have declared
a dividend of 10s. a share to be payable to the shareholders
who shall staid" registered in the Company's books on the
Ist January next."
Sir G. DE H. LARPENT said, that the Act of incorpora-
tion had, as passed in India, received the approval of the
legal advisers of the Company. There would, after paying
the amount of the dividend, and after providing for the
expense of the crop of 1846, including home charges, re-
main a considerable balance. The Directors had enforced
the necessity of strict economy in Assam, as that was the
best policy in all establishments, especially in the infat cy
of such a one as this. It was not contemplated that the
, whole expenses in Assam would exceed 1,0001. a month.
The attention of the Court had been directed with earnest-
ness to the improvement of the quality of the teas. The
prices realised at the last public sales of Assam teas were as
follow :—For 221 chests from 2s. to 2s. 6d. per lb, for 31
chests 3s. per lb., for 306 chests Is. 6d. to 25., for 356 chests
ls. 3d. to ls. 6d. per lb., and for the lower breaks reduced
rates. The Assam Company's teas were now taken by the
trade currently throughout the country.—(Hear, hear.)
-Mr. TITE considered the report to be most satisfactory.
The produce of last year was 186,6441b5. It was expected
that the crop of this year would be much more considerable,
but the drought that had-prevailed, would, as he understood,
prevent the yield coming much above that of last year. Was
that the case? _

The CHAIRMAN replied in the affirmative ; but the re
turns of this year's crop only embraced the pickings of a few
months.

In reply to some remarks respecting the dismissal of Mr.
Bruce, the secretary,
Mr. PRIDEAUX remarked that that gentleman had been
engaged at the outset of the concern for ten years. The
Directors bad not been satisfied with his administration, and
had compromised his claim for one year's salary, or 1,2501. It
was incidentally remarked, that the charter of the Assam
Company in India was for nine years only, but that there
was no doubt of its renewal, as no other company had a
standing there but the Assam Company.
After the adoption of the report, and a vote of thanks to
the Directors, the proceedings terminated.

MILITARY AFFRAY AT WINDSOR.
WEIDSOI2, TUESDAY.—This morning an investigation took
place at the Town-hall, before a full bench of magistrates, re-
specting the alleged assault of the 2d Life Guards on the in-
habitants of Windsor on Saturday evening last.
The magistrates present were Thomas Adams, Esq.,
Mayor ; Robert Blunt, Esq. ; William Legh, Esq. ; Thomas
Clarke, Esq. ; Robert Tebbatt, Esq. ; John Clode, Esq. ;
and John Bannister, Esq.
The hall was crowded by the principal inhabitants of the
town.
The first witness examined was James Dobson, sergeant
of the police, who stated that he was on duty on Saturday
night, between seven and eight o'clock. Saw some of the
townspeople coming up Pea.scod-street, carrying a man on
their back ; the mob was increasing. Mr. Lovegrove, of
High-street, said something to the mob when opposite his
house. Townshend, the man who was carried, got down,
and immediately one of Mr. Lovegrove's windows was
broken. The mob stood hooting for some time, and then
carrying the man went down Thame- street. When they
came to the Red Lion, three Life Guardsmen were standing
at the door. The greater part of the mob stopped, and
shouted " Walter for ever I" and some of them jostled
against the soldiers. No assault was committed, and I urged
the townspeople to go on and not interfere with the soldiers.
A young man, named Flowers, came out of Sharratt's with
Mr. Walter's flags, and a young man, named Wellman, was
by the side of him. The mob followed them up the street,
and they all turned back. Finding the mob getting noisy,
when opposite Agar's, I strove to take the flags away from
Flowers, but I fancied I was unable to do so. I left the sol-
diers at the Red Lion. I followed the mob up the street,
and a great portion of them went with the flags into the Black
Horse, Park-street. After they bad been there about ten
minutes, two of the Life Guards came out, followed by Towns-
hend and three others. I went across with the inspector, and
desired that the flags should not be brought out again, other-
wise we should take them into custody. Several of the mob
then dispersed, and we went up into the town. As we got
opposite Mr. Holderness's, the surgeon, some one said, "Cut
away, police, two soldiers are murdering the civilians." On
reaching the market-place, we saw several making for Castle-
hill. " Net them near Adams's corner, and Gibbons said,
" Come on, I think the soldiers have killed Townshend." Dis-
covered Townshend near Thumwood's office, lying in the
road. Got him on the pavement, and took him away on a
stretcher. There was a mob of civilians round him. Saw
no soldiers. Townsend appeared to be bleeding from his
neck and shoulder. Shortly afterwards saw Mr. Blunt, a
magistrate, requesting four or five soldiers to retire, which
they did immediately and went towards their barracks.
Shortly afterwards about a dozen more soldiers came up, and
they also went down Peascod-street, in their way home.
They had scarcely turned the corner of the street, when the
mob began hissing and hallooing after them. The soldiers
returned and began swearing. The people ran in all direc-
tions, and so did the soldiers, and so did .I. They ran
round and through the market-house, near which a woman
was screaming, " They have killed my son." I there found
George Hill lying on his back. Told the mother not to make
such a row. Placed Hill at Mr. Foster's (the chemist), door,
and went after the soldiers, and saw, among others, Large
and Flowers abusing and exciting the soldiers, who were
about eight or ten in number. Mr. Blunt, the magistrate,
came up, and the soldiers went quietly away. I and another
policeman endeavoured to prevent the civilians from following
the soldiers, but the mob overpowered us, and followed the
soldiers down the street. There was one soldier, a farrier,
they called Harry, rather tipsy, who would return to the
market-house, and eight or ten of his comrades came back
with him, but they made no disturbance, and afterwards went
quietly away. The police afterwards formed themselves
across the street, and prevented, the mob following the sol-
diers. Several passed through us to go to the barracks, the
mob hissing them very much, and we had great difficulty in
keeping the mob back. About ten the miltary had all re
turned to the barracks, and the mob dispersed. Several of
the soldiers had sticks—some were walking-sticks. Several
of the civilians bad also sticks. I took a brick-bat from a
civilian named Hughes, and others had stones.
William Gibbons, another policeman, saw a snob of about
two hundred opposite Darling, the grocer's house, in Peascod-
street, between eight and nine o'clock in the evening; there
were no military present. Followed them into Thames-
street, where they met four or five Life Guardsmen, and
commenced hissing them. Begged them not to interfere
with the soldiers. On returning to the High-street, saw the
Guards driving the people out of the market-house. There
were about twenty or thirty soldiers knocking the people
about with sticks. By direction of a magistrate, went to
the Horse Barracks for a picquet, but the corporal on guard
would not send one without a written order from the Mayor.
When I returned, saw a large mob trying to force themselves
down Peascod-street. No military were there. Saw Towns-
bend with a stick, flourishing as lie was riding on a man's
shoulders. Laid hold of him, and endeavoured to persuade
him to leave, but he wrenched himself from my grasp. This
was the roan who had his face blackened. It was not five
minutes after he got away that I saw him carried away on a
stretcher. A man named Collier carried Townshend on his
back, and a person, named Large cai ried Plumridge.
Charles Clarke, sergeant of police—Saw the soldiers going
home, when one of them complained of being much hurt in
the head, and asked his companions if they were going off
after being served in that way? They all immediately re-
turned, and rau towords the market-house. Saw Hill and
Large knocked down. Saw a number of drunken men halloo-
ing and yelling after the military when they were going
quietly down the street.
William Benham, another policeman, spoke as to the row,
and saw a soldier knock a man down whom they had mis-
taken for Angelo, the fighter. His comrade said he should
not have done so, as the man was innocent.
Mr. John Clode, wine merchant, stated that he saw near
the market-house the soldiers pursuing the mob, who were
flying in all directions. 'Phis was about nine o'clock. Saw
a soldier strike a man, who after reeling a little, fell down.
After he was down the soldier struck him several times with
his fist and a stick, and then kicked him in the side or sto-
mach. Another person afterwards came up and struck the
man. The soldiers afterwards rushed across the market-
place, and struck right and left. Saw them strike a woman
and a boy. There were a great many women in the crowd,
some crying out, " Walter for ever." About a quarter to
eleven, saw soldiers pass by my house at Augnsta-place, on
their way to the barracks, in twenties and thirties, most of
them in a tipsy state. When I first saw the crowd they
were waving one of Walter's flag, and cheering at the houses
of those they considered favourable to him, and hissing at
those they considered unfavourable.
William John Astle—Saw the soldiers knock down men,
women, and children indiscrimately, some with their regi-
mental canes, and others with thick sticks.
Robert Weyman swore that he was struck by the soldiers
because he wore Walter's colours—that he also saw five or
six soldiers go into Mr. Adams's shop and purchase brooms,
that they cut the birch off and left it in the shop, and came
out with the handles, and layed them about on the people
right and left; that they knocked down one poor man and
his wife and child, about three months old.
Mr. Adams and the whole of his shopmen were afterwards
sworn, and all distinctly stated that they had no brooms in
the shop, neither had any person come into the shop on the
day in question to purchase any.
Major Williams, who was present to watch the proceed-
ings, stated that at five minutes past ten o'clock on the even-
witht

Dispatches from the Governor of Jamaica, and also from
the Governors of the other West India cvloniet, were received
yesterday at the Colonial-office.,
