(FROM THE BOMBAY COURIER OF FEB. 15.)

By information received here from Nagpore we
learn, ".at on the 12th JanuarY a picqUet-from the
sth Regiment of light cavalry, under the command
of Lieutenant Crowther, oho had been directed
by Colonel Walker to patrale' for that purpose
on the Boorltampoor road, fell iu with a party of
ahout t 0 Pindaries, and attacked and killed 50 of
them. Colonel ‘ifilkt,r had further, up to the
21st of January, destroyed and taken several small
parties returning from the Southward, in all about
200 men, being apparently part of the survivors,
of the body so roughly .Itandled by Major Lush-
ington ; very ft.w of them had any plunder.
One of the dispersed bodies of .the Pindaries,
that had been so successfully attacked by Captain
Caulfield, cou•i..ting of about 150 men, was fallen
in wittrby Maim Clarke, cononanding a light de-
tachment of toe Nagpore subsidiary force, on the
25th January, about three cuss on the lett of his
position at the camp of Goculpore, two Cl/SS south
or Shporra, at tour o'clock in the afternoon, and
the pursuit Was continued till dark for Seven
; at least 100 of the banditti were. killed.
Aiajor Choke con-tinned on the look-out for other
bodies of them, and we expect will give a good
account of them.

We are sorry to state, that by accounts received
here, dated from An_jar, the 14,b January, it ap-
vars that the plague, or a contagious disease very
similar to it in its symptoms and effects, has made
its re-appearance near Butchao, 'in Cutch, at a-
vill,ge called Geiria, and that there was also a re-
port of the disease having appeared in Wankaneer:
No pvienlars are given of the amount .of . the
daily mortality, from which circumstance we are
induced to believe, that the disorder had not yet
committed any great ravages, and We hope that it
will not extend to tl:e sea coast.

EX-PARTE STEWART THF. MATTER OF BRIANT.

Mr. LEACH moved the Court for judgment in
this case, observing, that there, was an indictment
against theplaintiffs at the Kingston As-
sizes, respecting the non-delivery of certain pa-
pers, which tendered it of importance'that the
judgment shod(' he speedily given.
.Sir SAMUEL RoMILLY Said, that the ground on
mtlich this motion was made was, in his opinion,
the very reason on
.which the Ctititt Ought to re-
fuse it. There was something very siligutir' in
an application to the Dud Chancellor to give
judgment because the matter in question. was be.,
tote a Court Of Law.

Mr. MONTAGUE visited jadgMelli to be given,
because if it were dclayed some ~,rtjadice might
he. excited against the plaintiff. le hoped his
Lordship would comply with- the—ntotion,-a, the
procrastination of the judgment would be inju-
rious to the party, who had already suffered from
delay.
The Lorn CHANCELLOR said, no Man could
feel more auxiety thau he did to get-through tbe
business of the Co,irt, but he was well aware that
delay must often be a subject of complaint with
suitors.. For his own part be could lhowever say,
that, as far as human strength permitted hint, he
applied himself earnestly and diligently to thedis-
charge of his duties; ,but such was the immettsitY
of business. now before the-Court. that ii,
rtAuire six ChaneellOrS and six Vice,Chaneellots
to get 'through it. Thought the proceedings of
the Court might be 'considered tardy, he could
declare, from the bottom of his soul, that be felt
most sincerely for the state of suspence in w!lich
-clients were placed. lo this case he had no donut
remaining : still, however, when he saw parties
disposed to go such lengths in litigation, he was
hound to sift e.yery tact- to the, bottom ; and he
would now say, once for all, that he would nei-
ther aceelate nor retard judgments nu account of
any indictments which -might be pending in'Courts
of Law. Ile was everauxious to exccute.hts duty
as promptly as possible, hut he knew of no cir-
cumstances by which be could be induced to
hasten some judgmeots to the injury of suitors in
otheye.4s..s., -

Mr. M9NTAGUE hoped that if his Lords,b;ip (14
not trice judgment lie would allow the pvers'to be
lookt.ql at:

Sir SA:MUM. ItOMiLLY observed, tfrar no
appliCation xis this had previously been made ; at
least if it had, no notice of it had hccft giyrn to
hint by the other side. Whatever wish there.
!nigh( be reqtecting the papers„.it. had not L:en,
asserted that they were of importaticein the in-
dictment, The course winch the Court, prf.)pv.,ed
to take appeared highly pr-per, and was to-him
perfectly satisfactoiy. . . .
Mr. MoNTAGuE-s-aid, that be bad made the op-.
plication in the presence of Mr. Wiant,.and that
Mr. Wingfield had besides iieardhfmmakt:it.---
The papers in question were actually in his posses!.
sion, but he dorst not
,pp6l the b.ig without his
Loldsh:;,'s.order.
. .
The LORD CHtiNCELLOR.—If heunderstood the
matter rightly, Mr. Moi.igue..,liatlin
sitia Papers which would be of use., in t xis case.;
Was it
,so ?

- - • ,
Mr..-ll.—Yes : and the Vice-. Chancel
for has directed that the bag shall,uot be ope.4ed
IVitholit your I,ordship's order.
The LORD CHANCELLOR observed; that this WAS:
to him a new circumstance, of which be had-be.-:-
fore no knowledge.
Sir S. ROMILLY doubted the fact of such an
order haciug been, made ; at least the Court ought
to have it Verified on other authority beside the
allegat'ou °l:Counsel.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that if he had
lime, am d the overwhelming business in which
he was involved, he would look over the papers;
and state what he thought of it to-morrow ; but
it was not to be expected that he should forward
this or any cause at the expellee of other suitors.

A short time since, a young Gentleman, about
18 years old, son of M. SuIT.ON, of Colchester,
who is completing his education for mercantile
pursuits in life, at Rouen, in Normandy, observed
a young man WllO was bathing in the Seine, which,
is broad and deep near Rouen, and the tide of
flood'extremcly rapid, in imminent danger of be-
ing drowned, in consequence, of his haying. in-
cautiously ventured beyond his tlepth. Mr. SUT-
TON perceiving that the other youth had entirely
lost his presence of mind, with a degree of cool.
and determined intrepidity which does him the
highest honour, plunged into the stream, and reach-
ing him at the moment he was sinking, was for-
tunately enabled, by his expertness in swimming,
to support hint till a boat arrived to his assistance,
when 'the French youth was taken ashore in safe-
ty, and restored to his anxious friends. We have
,great pleasure in noticing this trait of feeling and
determined courage in.onr spirited young Coun-
tryman, and cannot but express oar hope that the
success which attended his efforts, will stimulate
many of the rasing generation to instruct them-
selves at an early period in an art which often
affords the possessor an
.opinntunity of contribut-
ing to the preservation of a valuable life.
An interesting exemplification of the natural af-
'fection which all animals feel towards their young,
-occurred last week not far from Puttigo,Enniskil-
len. in swimming a cow and her self to an island
situated at some distance in the lake Erne, the lat-
ter became so much exhausted on the passage, as to,
be in dangerof drowning. The dam, .who had
nearly reached the opposite shore,
,perceiving the
peril to' Which her offspring was exposed, instantly
turned back, under strong symptoms of anxiety,
swam to the spot, seized the sinking animal in her
mouth, and bore it in safety to the land. •
A gang of upwaras of 30 boys has been disco-
vered at Bath, who have for some time subsisted
by begging in the day; and thieving by night. It
is a fact, that in one week they stripped nearly
all the larders in Bellevue of their provisions,
