Kashmeera Singh is assuming a much more rermidable ap-
pearance than seems at all pleasant to Rajah Heera
Four hundred cavalry, two battalions of infantry, and ten
pieces of artillery, were to start from Lahore on the morning
of the 16th, under the command of Col. Gardiner, with Col.
Don Domingo Hurbon d'Alcantara, in charge of a number
of Beeldars to act as Sappers andipliners. Twelve guns had
been sent on the 14th, with fifty rounds of ammunition,
which were to be increased on the morrow to one hundred.
There are already upwards of twenty guns, with mortars,
before the place. The report that the Sikh troops proper
will not fight against Kashmeerra Singh is confirmed, and,
indeed, many of them are said to have deserted to the Prince,
so that the operations must be carried on by the Rajah's hill
troops. A correspondent at Lahore writes us to say, that
nothing is more likely to lead to a crisis than this open re-
sistance. We may, therefore, expect to have some important
events to communicate in our next.—Delhi Gazette, March 21.

LONDON, TUESDAY, MAY 7, 1844.

The House of Commons last night went into Com-
mittee on the Bank Charter Act, when Sir ROBERT
PEEL made a very long speech on the Currency
question, and on the necessity of revising the privi-
leges granted to the Bank of England under the
Whig Government in 1833. These privileges were
granted for a period of twenty-one years, but only
conditionally. The Government reserved to them-
selves the right of reconsidering the question, if, after
a lapse of ten years, they gave notice to the Bank
that alterations might be necessary. After mature
deliberation, on looking M the state of the country,
the present state of the currency, and other circum-
stances, the Cabinet had considered it their duty to
avail themselves of the opportunity, and
pro-
pose resolutions which, if adopted by the
Legislature, would produce considerable changes.
These resolutions he would not require the House to
adopt till they had a full opportunity of weighing
well their import; and he, therefore, did not ask for
Ca immediate decision. The introductory part of his
speech was not very inviting. it consisted of a very
dry essay on the principle which constitutes the mea-
sure of value, and more particularly on what was
meant by a pound sterling, and what was the engage-
ment to pay a pound; and, after adverting to the
dif-
ferent standards of value which had existed in this
country, including silver and paper, he 'entreated the.
House, as gold had been the standard of value for a
hundred years, with some exceptions, that they would
not depart from that monetary system. He was op-
posed to the demand made by certain writers on cur-
rency, that country bankers should be allowed to
issue paper. Country bankers had no control,
and were utterly ignorant of the state of
foreign exchanges. He was opposed, also, to a
National Bank, and concurred with Lord ALTHORP
in his statemeelts, when the charter was renewed in
1833, that the Sank of England was preferable to a

LAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS.
The decided superiority of this Medicine over every other
itherto offered to the public for the cure of those dreadfully painful
diseases, gout, r eumatic gout, rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica, &c ,
is so fully manifested by the increasing sale, and the testimony of
thousands in every rank of life, that those who are aware of the ex_
istenc.! of sur h a remedy, and have not availed themselves of trying
its efficacy, cannot truly be objec sof sympathy. The test monials of
the astonishing effects of this medicine are universally accompanied
by the fact that no inconvenience of any sort attends its administra-
tion, bu' that the patient, without feeli.:g the operation of the medi-
cine, is universally left in a stronger and better state of health than
experienced previous to being afflic'ed with this disease; and in all
canes of acute suffering (neat relief is experienced in a few hours,
and a cure is gr•ner.,lly effected in two or three days.

Our market was, the time of year considered, very scantily
supplied with Beasts as to numbers, while the quality was
interior to that exhibited for some time past. The primest
Scots, 200 of which came to hand, by sea, from Scotland, found
buyers at fully Monday's quotations ; but in other breeds
next to nothing was doing. The number of Sheep were
small, owing to which the Mutton trade was active, and, in
some instances, prices had an upward tendency. In Lambs,
the supply of which was only moderate, a fair business was
doing at full currencies. Calves hang heavily on hand, but
were not cheaper. Pigs moved off slowly, at late rates.
Milch Cows sold heavily, at from 161 to 1915 s each.

LONDON, FRIDAY, MAY 31, 1844.

Bab Houses met last night for ' the first time after
the rece.ss. In the House of Lords the Marquis of
CLANRICARDE moved for a Select Committee to con-
sider the Bill for the construction of a railway from
Chester to Holyhead, and after some remarks from
the Duke of WELLINGTON, Lord KENYON, and Lord
MoNTEAGLE, the motion was postponed till Tuesday.
Lord CAMPBELL postponed his Bill on the law of
libel till Friday. The Lord Chancellor said he
would, on . that day, present a modified Bill on the
subject.
After some other business of little importance the
House adjourned.
In the House of Commons Lord ARTHUR LENNOX
took his seat for Chichester, and Sir THOMAS FRE-
MANTLE for Buckingham.
After a great number of petitions had been pre-
sented, Mr. JERVIS moved that a Select Committee
be appointed to inquire into the claims of Mr. Cut-
CHESTER, as sole executor of ROBERT WILLIAM
POWELL, an uncompensated American Loyalist. Sir
GEORGE CLERK opposed the motion, which was ne-
gatived without a division.
Mr. KELLY obtained leave to bring in a Bill to
provide for appeal in criminal cases. He made an
able speech'on this important question, and showed
effeCtually the absurd principle that, while appeals
were allowed in civil cases, no appeals in the
present state of the law were allow(' in cases where
thisarqbf StiattiihFlilng was at stake. Sir JAMES

WINDSOR.

THURSDAY EVENING.—The Earl of Delawarr, Lord Cham-
berlain, arrived at the Castle a few days since, for the
purpose of giving instructions for the necessary arrangements
for the reception of the King of Saxony and suite, who are
expected to be the guests of the Queen during the Ascot
race week.
The State rooms (a portion of which will be required by
her Majesty during the Ascot race week), which were closed
to the public on Wednesday (yesterday), will not be re-
opened until after the races. The grand reception-room,
the Waterloo Chamber, and St. George's Hall, are now being
prepared for the distinguished guests who have been ho-
noured with invitatiencfrom her Majesty during the ensuing
week, when splendid entertainments will be given by the
Queen to numerous and distinguished visitors.
Preparations were commenc?,d this afternoon at the Queen's
Stand, at Ascot, for the reception of the Court during the
ensuing races. There is no doubt that Prince Albert, accom-
panied by the King of Saxony, will honour the course, on one
day at least, with his presence; and, should her Majesty be
in the enjoyment of her present state of health, it is most
probable that her loyal subjects will be gratified with the
presence of tkeir beloved Sovereign.

THE SUPPOSED MURDER. AT WlMBLEDol.7.—Yes-
terday afternoon, at three o'clock, W. Carter, Esq., the
Coroner for East Surrey, opened a Court at the Dog and Fox
inn, Wimbledon, to inquire into the circumstances attending
the death of Charlotte Hall, aged thirty-eight, who, it was
alleged, had met her death by strangulation, by the hands of
her husband, who has since absconded. After a long investi-
gation, in which, however, no facts of any importance were
elicited beyond those which have already appeared in our
columns, the jury, after neatly an hour's deliberation, returned
a verdict—" Died from natural causes." Notwithstanding
this verdict the police will not relax their exertions in ap-
prehending the accused.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, May 30.

_ _
(Sittings in Banco.)
THE DISPUTED WINNER OF THE DERBY.
PEEL V. WEATHERBY AND ANOTHER,
Mr. OGLE was instructed to apply to the Court for an
interpleader rule in this case on behalf of the defendants.
The application was made on affidavit, which disclosed to
the Court that the defendants were the stakeholders of a
large sum of money, which was run for at the last " Derby
race," and that a horse called Running Rein having come in
first, and another, named Orlando, the second, the present
plaintiff, Colonel Peel, had claimed the stakes on behalf of
Orlando, and Mr. Wood on behalf of Running Rein. The
deponent then went on to state that a writ of summons was
served by Colonel Peel ou the 25th inst., and that on the
28th another writ was served on the defendants at the suit
of Mr. Wood, in the Court of Common Pleas. Under these
circumstances, as the defendants were most anxious to pre-
serve their character for impartiality, they had deemed it
their duty to apply to both the Courts for their protection
under the interpleader statute, in order that the real parties
to the niatter in dispute might have an opportunity of
testing the merits of their respective claims to the stake in
question.
The Coma—Your clients are ready to bring the money
into Court to abide the event ?
Mr. OGLE-Oh, certainly. A similar application will be
made to the Court of Common Pleas, the writ in which Court
was issued subsequently to that in the present action.
The CHIEF Banox—You may take your rule.

WINDSOR.

THURSDAY EVENING.—The Earl of Delawarr, Lord Cham-
berlain, arrived at the Castle a few days since, for the
purpose of giving instructions for the necessary arrangements
for the reception of the King of Saxony and suite, who are
expected to be the guests of the Queen daring the Ascot
race week.

The State rooms (a portion of which will be required by
her Majesty during the Ascot race week), which were closed
to the public on Wednesday (yesterday), will not be re-
opened until after the races. The grand reception-room,
the 'Waterloo Chamber, and St. George's Hall, are now being
prepared for the distinguished guests who have been ho-
noured with invitations from her Majesty during the ensuing
week, when splendid entertainments will be given by the
Queen to numerous and distinguished visitors.
Preparations were commenc9d this afternoon at the Queen's
Stand, at Ascot, for the reception of the Court during the
ensuing races. There is no doubt that Prince Albert, accom-
panied by the King of Saxony, will honour the course, on one
day at least, with his presence; and, should her Majesty be
in the enjoyment of her present state of health, it. is most
probable that her loyal subjects will be gratified with the

SIDE.

" Theßeloochees having come down to plunder the country
round Shikarpore, had destroyed several villages within a
few miles of our camp. Captain Tait, with 600 irregular
horse, and Lieutenant Fitzgerald, with 200 of the camel
corps, had gone out in quest of them, and having crossed
the desert proceeded till very near the entrance of the
Murree hills—the scene of so many of our misadventures in
1340. The enemy were here in considerable force, and had
taken refuge in the strong fort of Poolajec. An attempt
was made by Lieutenant Fitzgerald to blow open the gate
with powder-bags and storm the town. The first operation
was unsuccessful, the leading man carrying the gun powder
having been killed on his way towards the gate. The fire
from the walls was found so hot that our troops were com-
pelled to retire—the enemy following them the whole way
back to camp, a distance of seventy miles The coast being
thus clear, the Beloochees proceeded with fresh alacrity to
renew their forays, and to strip the unprotected country
round Shikarpore of everything. that could be carried away."

FUNERAL OF MR. T. CAMI-BELL,
IN WESTMINSTER ABBEY.

The funeral of this distinguished poet and excellent
man took place this day in Westminster Abbey. An
immense number of his friends and admirers —and no
man ever had more—attended on the occasion ; indeed
the Jerusalem Chamber was crowded to suffocation
with people anxious to pay the last tribute of their
respect to the memory of the author of the "Pleasures
of Hope." Mr. Campbell's grave was dug in the centre
of Poets Corner, and among the assembled mourners
we recognised Lords Brougham, Campbell, and
Aberdeen, Sir Robert Peel, and many other indi-
viduals of note in the political and literary world.
The funeral service was read by Mr. Millman, him-
self a poet, and with an impressive feeling and
solemnity that touched the hearts of all who heard
him. While looking round on the busts and
monuments of departed men of genius which
thickly stud "Poets' Corner," we could not help
lamenting and wondering at the bigotry—for we fear
it can be called by no gentler term--that led to the
exclusion of Lord Byron's statue from among these
national memorials. Here it should have stood,
for among our national poets no man occu-
pies a more distinguished rank than the
author of " Childe Harold." It was a poor—a petty
and Chapter of West-
minster
" Cain." The
excuse for depriving him of the posthumous honour

bt he e

full,
by the High-Church-
and-State without any erasures,
p
question was not one of 'orthodoxy but of genius, and
should have been regarded as such. The man whose

written,been so immoral and heretical an author as to justify

our ecclesiastical authoritiesin closing the doors of
Westminster Abbey on his ashes.

The following extract is taken from the Bombay
