the following motion at the said Quarterly General Court,
viz.:—

" That it is not competent to any Proprietor, after a motion
has been read, to move an adjournment of the Court before

give full.effect to sec. 87, cap. 85, of 3d and 4th William 4th,
which enacts, ' That no native of the said territories, nor any
natural born subject of his Majesty, resident therein, shall, by

of them, be disabled from holding any place, office, or employ.
ment, under the said Company.' And that the Directors be
recommended, in furtherance of this object, to instruct the no-
.vernments of India. to appoint Natives to all Offices in the Civil
Administration under the different Presidencies for which they
may be duly qualified."

Courts this morning, from the non-attendance of wit-

such an unseemly interruption of the public business,
the Judges have resolved to estreat the recognizances
of all parties that are not in attendance at the proper
time.

COLONIAL MARKET.

The operations in Col(niAl produce were upon a
small scale only, either for home use or export, and
prices further gave way, very large parcels of goods
being pressed on the market by public sale, and
greater than the demand. Raw Sugar sold at Ms. V.
595. for Brown West India, and at 595. 61 to 68s.
for Yellow.

were firm at 48s. 9d. on the spot.

DEATH OF THE MURDERER. JEssur.—This un-
happy man expired this morning at half-past one.
Ile has gradually got worse since yesterday, having
been seized with bleeding from the throat, ne% erthe-
less he' was able to express by signs last night, at nine
o'clock, that he wanted to write. Mr. Cock, surgeon,
instantly handed a pencil and paper to him, and la
was just able to write the word " knife." Air. Cock
having asked what he meant, he made a motion with
both his hands, giving him to understand that it wa:
a fleshing knife he wanted, a knife used in the leather
dressing business. It was sufficiently evident from
this that he was insane. Be gradually got worst
;After that, displaying great uneasiness, by throwin
his arms and legs about in a violent manner. He was
attended by police constable Weaver, 277. M, till death
ended his sufferings.

SUSPECTED CASE OF MURDER

AND ROBBERY AT CARDIFF.

The neighbourhood of Bute-street and places ad-
jacent have been greatly excited in consequence of the
death of Captain Carter, whose body was found on
Sunday morning last, in an erect position, between the
lock gates under the railway-bridge, crossing the new
cut at the bottom of Bute-street. The singularity of
the position of the body (being nearly midway be-
tween the two gates, and therefore centrally erected
in the lock,), together with the finding of a pocket-
book outside the dock, gave rise to reports that the
deceased had been murdered, robbed, and thrown in.
Two boatmen, the one named Thomas Davies, and
the other John Richards, alias John Moss, were taken
into custody under suspicion of knowing something
of this tragical event, but were both discharged on
Monday, at an inquest before Lewis Reece, Esq., Co-
roner, held at the Bute Arms, in Bute-street, on Mon-
day morning.
The body of deceased was examined, and found to
be perfectly free from any external bruises or wounds.
After the Coroner's recapitulation of the evidence,
the Jury returned the following verdict :—" We find,
from the evidence adduced, that the unfortunate de-
ceased was drowned in the junction between tlie new
and old canal, but how or by what means he came
there we have no reason to adjuge, otherwise than by
accident. We fully concur, however, in the mys-
serious and suspicious appearances touching the ab-
tence of the money known to have been in his posses-
sion prior to his death, and consider there is every
probability of his having been robbed."

A letter has been received at Lloyd's from the
Admiralty, stating that orders had been sent to the
Admirals at Portsmouth and Plymouth to dispatch
all vessels at their disposal, with provisions and water,
to the chops of the Channel, for the use of the home:

PO LICE INTELLIGENCE.

BO IV.STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
I A young man, named George Phillips, an appren-
tice, was charged with insolence, and refusing to obey
the orders of his master.

Mr. Wyld, the mapseller of Charing-cross, de-
posed that the.prisoner was his apprentice. He had
served the greater part of his apprenticeship, and,
though witness had received no premium with him,
he was paying him a salary of 1/. a week. his con-
duct was generally v'ry bad. (Mr. Wyld then pro-
ceeded to detail several acts of insubordination of a gross
character.) He had, however, no desire to punish the
young men, if he would express his sorrow for his
conduct, and promise not to offend again.
Mr. TWYFORD said it was very improper to behave
in such a manner, and told the prisoner that -he was
liable to a very ssvere imprisonment in the. House of
Correction. Would he (the prisoner) promise to
obey his master in future ?—The prisoner, who
seemed very sulky, refused to answer.

Mr. Twiroun•:—Then I shall commit you_ for a
month.

Mr. Williams, of the Dispatch, who was in the
Court, here came forward, and wished to address the
Bench. Ile said he had apprenticed the young man
to Mr.Wyld, of whom he wished to ask a few questions.
Mr. TWYFORD said the case was disposed of. Ile
could not see what right Mr. Williams had to interfere.
Mr. Williams warmly—Well, I've been in a good
many Courts of Justice, but I'll be hanged if ever I
saw such justice as this. It's monstrous.
Mr. TWYFORD—Do you mean those remarks to ap-
ply to-me, Sir ? If-you don't take care what you are
about, I shall commit you as well as the prisoner.
Mr. Williams—Oh no ; I was not speaking to your
Worship, I was only teaking to a friend.
Mr. TWYFORD—It's well for you that you did not.
I commit the prisoner for a month.
Shortly afterwards Mr. Wyld applied to the Bench
to have thg sentence commuted, and at his earnest
desire Mr. Twyford altered the term of imprisonment
from a month to seven days.

CORONER'S INQUEST.

THE MURDER AT BERMONDSEY.
Yesterday an inquest was held at the Coopers'
Arms, Russell-street, Bermondsey, before Mr. Carter,
to inquire into the circumstance of the death of Eliza-
beth Jessup, thirty-five years of age, who was mur-
dered by her husband on the morning of Monday last.
Jane Burton Shepherd, of No. 3, Goulstone's-
buildings, Bermondsey, New -road, deposed that on
Monday Morning last, about six o'clock, he heard the
cry of murder,. and on looking out of his window he
saw a lad named Thomas Jessup, standing at his fa-
ther's door, No. 14, in the above buildings, with only
his night-shirt on. He it was who had been calling
murder. He immediately went across to him, and
with another neighbour, named Crampton, entered
the house, when he saw William Jessup on the floor
in a kneeling posture, with a razor in his hand, in the
act of cutting his throat. Crampton wrenched the
razor from his hand. In the back room he saw the
deceased lying on the floor with her head near the
stairs, and a deep wound on the left side of her neck,
from which the blood was flowing. She breathed
faintly and expired. The police and Dr. Sterry were
sent for, and after the latter had bandaged up the
wounds in Jessup's throat, he was taken to Guy's
Hospital.
Henry Crampton said—Jessup was sensible, and
on my saying to him, " Why did you do this," he
replied, " I had a call from the Lord to do it in the
night." I said, " The Devil you mean." He made
answer, " The Devil then. I had a call to do it, ant
the time was come." Witness said that he spoke no-
thing more on the subject.
Thomas Jessup, 16 years of age, stated that the de-
ceased was his niother-in-law. On Monday morning,
about six o'clock, she got up first and went down
stairs. In about five minutes his father went down,
he had only his shirt and stockings on. Directly af-
terwards witness heard his mother call out, " Tom,"
as if in a state of alarm. He ran down and saw them
both struggling together at the foot of the stairs. He
made towards the door of the house, and on turning
round saw his mother fall, and blood: appeared to be
issuing from her neck. He then called out " Murder."
Mr. Henry Sterry, surgeon, stated that he was
called in, when he found the deceased on the floor
quite dead. There was a deep wound on the left side
of the neck, eight inches long. The carotid artery
and jugular vein were divided. She must have died
instaneously. The wound appeared to have been in-
flicted by a sharp instrument, such as a razor.
After some other evidence, the Coroner explained

Navigation Committee have come to the determina-

master of the Port of London, shall in May next com-

Apollo, and the Waterwitch, which, it will be recol-
lected, were sunk in the Thames about five years ago.
It has been found necessary
to direct such operations,
as a bank of considerable extent has risen
above the wrecks, and between 12 and 15 anchors
and chain cables are now foul of them. If Captain
Fisher fail in lifting up the wrecks (and great diffi-
culty may occur in consequence of the decayed con-
dition of the vessels), he is to proceed to remove them
by explosion. Downes, the celebrated , diver, has al-
ready surveyed the engine!room. .

LANCASHIRE SPECIAL COMMIS

SION.

LIVERPOOL, OCT. 10.—The Commission was opened
with the usual formalities, when Lord Abinger pro-
ceeded to deliver his charge as follows :
Gentlemen of the Grand'Jury,--It is with un-
affected pain that I address you on the present occa-
sion. You are aware of the disastrous state to which
this great county has been reduced for several weeks
of the present summer ; that lawless and riotous mul-
titudes of persons have assembled in the various manu-
facturing towns of the county, have proceeded to create
disturbances, to excite alarm and terror in herMajeity's
peaceable subjects, and have, with violence, prevented
workm€ n from following their daily avocations. Such a
scene of lawless violence it is impossible long to endure.
It does not appear, from any evidence I have hitherto
seen or heard, that the people who were engaged in
these excesses complain of the high price of provisions
or the want of labour. What gave rise to the imme-
diate occurrence which was the commencement of
these transactions, has not, at present, been ascer-
tained. Whether it was owing to the imprudence or
to the indiscretion of any of the master manufac-
turers ; whether it originated in the schemes of any
persons who considered that a general turn-out might
be advantageous to their peculiar political objects; or
whether, When it commenced, it was not checked as

TO CONRESPOSDENTS.

We have recei►ed two letters, apparently from the same

THE INDIGO SALE.

The sale of Indigo at the India House, which cow
menced on the 10th inst. closed yesterday at one o'clock.
It consisted of 4,715 chests, via.: 8,48 S Bengal ;
Madras ; 185 Manilla, and 420 Oude. Before the sale
commenced, a great difference of opinion existed as to
prices, some anticipating a great decline, others a consider-
able advance ; but the sale began with spirit, and was so
kept up to its termination, in consequence of the firmness
manifested by the Proprietors, in giving it support. The
quotations went rather higher after the first day; but they
fluctuated in a trifling degree towards the close.
The fine Bengal qualities may be quoted at about April
sale prices, but the good and middling are generally frol
3d. to 6d., and in some few instances even Is. per lb. higher
than that sale; the Madras may be quoted from 6d. to Is.,
and in some few instance] even Is. 6d. per lb. lower than
that sale ; the Onde on the first day was mostly bought is
at about 6d. per lb. lower than the April sale, but on the
subsequent days, the prices were fully equal to that sale.
About 1,000 chests have been brought in by the pro-
prietors, of which-150 are Oude, $OO Madras and Manilla,
and the remainder Bengal, besides 98 chests refused, being
put up much too high.
The Export Merchants have been the principal pur-
chasers, very little having been bought either by the dealers
or consumers, notwithstanding the general improvement of
business in the manufacturing districts.

The following is a statement of the number of Cheats at
each price, viz. :
