EAST INDIES.

The Bombay Gazette of the lith February, says—" The
from= of Sauna is dead, and has been succeed by his son Ally-
ben-Abdoolla Munsoor, who is about twenty-five years of age;
the people of Senna gave out that their new Prince is about to
set out on an expedition to recover his country from the Turks.
The communication between Mucha and Senna is completely
interrupted, the Imaurn having established posts where troops
are stationed to prevent any one from passing into the interior."
The following extract of a letter is taken from the Calcutta
Courier of the sth instant :

" We arrived last night in Dacca after a melancholy wind-
ing-up of our shooting excursion. We had intelligence of an
immense tiger which had killed several bullocks, &c. On Satur-
day we hunted him for several hours, but could not get him.
On Sunday Mr. C., Mr. 8., Mr. E. sen., and Mr. E. jun., went
out and sprung the tiger and wounded him severely. He charged
the elephant six times, wounded three of them, and pulled poor
E. sen. from the houdah and killed him instantly. There are
half a dozen deep wounds on the neck, at the juncture of the
spine, and several on his face and breast, although the body
was picked up by the rest of the party immediately the vital
spark had fled. lhis is a dreadful business, and almost enough
to satisfy any one of tiger shooting, and has thrown. all Dacca
into a ferment," .

And in the obituary of the same paper we find the follow-
ing :—" On the 31st January, at Meerzapore, Dacca, while on
a hunting excursion, John Demetrius Ellias, Esq., aged 36
years,-deeply and sincerely regretted by those who knew and
could appreciate him," from which we suppose Mr. Ellias to be
the person alluded to in the above letter.

THE GREAT WILL CAUSE.

DOE DEM. TATHAM V. WRIGHT.

Mr. Justice Coleridge, who has returned here for the express
purpose of trying this important cause, arrived at a late hour
on Saturday evening last, having left Liverpool that day, im-
mediately on the conclusion of the assize business there. On
Monday morning, about ten o'clock, the learned Judge took his
seat on the bench.

Mr. Cresswell, Mr. Starkie, Mr. Armstrong, and Mr. L. Peel
appeared for the plaintiff, and Sir F. Pollock, Mr. Wightman,
Mr. Tomlinson, and Mr. Martin for the defendant.
The proceedings on the part of the plaintiff being eject-
ment, became the duty of the defendant to proceed first with
his case.

Sir F. Pollock accordingly rose to address the jury, and in
commencing bis statement the learned gentleman alluded in
pointed terms, to the singular fact that he had now been called ,1
upon for the fourth time to appear before a jury on behalf of
the defendant. Sir Frederick, after informing the jury that
some new documentary evidence had been discovered within
the last few days, went on at great length to explain the various
circumstances which he in tended to prove, and which, he doubted
not, they would consider as amply sufficient to make out the
defendant's case.
The facts of this cause, now in a court of law for the fourth
time, are so well known to our readers, that we feel it quite un-
necessary to do more than merely to state that Admiral Tatham,
the plaintiff, sues as,heir-at-law of the late John Marsden, Esq.,
of Hornby Castle, who died in 1826, at the advanced age of 68.
The defendant, and Mr. Wright, was for many years the ste-
ward of Mr. Marsden, and sole manager of his property; and
the deceased having entirely;excluded the heir-at-law, and having
made the defendant and hi Wally the inheritors of the greater
pottion of. his property, steps were immediately taken upon Mr.
Marsden'a decease for setting aside the will on the ground that
the testator had throughout his life been imbecile, that he had
been altogether under the control and guidance of Mr. Wright,
and that he was utterly incapable of comprehending the con
tents the will which had been put forth as his.
Sir Frederick Pollock, in the course of his statement, cited
a great number of deeds and bonds, &c., together with private
correspondence of the deceased, for the purpose of proving to
the jury Mr. Matsden's fitness for conducting the ordinary bu-
siness of life. At six o'clock on Monday evening the court
adjourned. On Tuesday morning, at nine o'clock,.Sir F. Pol-
lock resumed his statement, which he did not conclude till a
quarter to six o'clock that evening, having occupied seventeen
hours in his opening address to the jury.
On Wednesday morning the first witness, Mr. Sharp, the at-
torney, for many years, of the deceased, was called, and his
examination, relative to the legal documents and the letters, &c.
was continued up to the adjournment of the court. On Thurs-
day morning, Mr. Sharp's examination was resumed, and did
not conclude till four o'clock.

Mr. Baron Bolland, Colonel Lushington, Mr. Gardner, (a
new witness,) and the Rev. Mr. Garnett were afterwards called,
and their testimony went to show that Mr. Marsden, though a
weak man, was vet in the opinion of the witnesses, perfectly
competent to make his will.
The examination of witnesses has since been continued each
day.

'the trial, it is believed, will occupy a fortnight at least, and
there are fears that it will make a considerable inroad upon the
third week.

DONCASTER ST. LEGER.

As the time draws nearer for the decision of this great north-
ern prize, those who may have supported any of the " prads"
are too frequently alarmed by others who stand against them.
At the early part of the week Wedge was reported "queer ;"
6 to 1 was freely offered against him, and but for the support of
a few influential individuals he would have been a much worse
favourite; he has retired from the premiership in favour of
Giles, and has receded to 11 to 2. The brother to the Saint is
daily growing in favour, though the party.generally considered
"in the stable" are divided in opinion; he has many friends
ready to back him at 4to 1. Trapball has been .in greater re-
quest than any other horse at the price, and offers are made to
back Mr. Mostvn winning Cup and Leger at 20 to 1. Red-
shank has been " in statu quo," no one attempting to back him,
or'bet against him. Elis the uncertain "is declared to come
toDoncaster. It is a new feature in betting that a noble owner
should, before he would consent that his horse should come,
have bets secured to him to the tune of £12,000 at 10 to 1, when
'it is more than-probable he will, if he comes well to the post, be
at half that price on the day. Gladiator has a few friends who
are ready to nibble" when a shade more is offered against 'him
than the current odds. Some are of opinion he will again see
better days. Vulture has been reported "amiss" and "lame,"
which had the effect •of sending her to 16.t0 1 (offered); but,
thanks to steam, an express wait sent to and from Newton, and
the mare was " all right." . Site. rallied again in the betting,
and the most offered against 'her is 10 to 1. Bee's-wing has
been at rest for a fortnight. It-is the opinion of some that Ma-
jor St. Paul's colt has proved her siiperior : he has advanced
'rapidly in the betting to 16 to 1 takers. Carew must 'rave gone
a begging; we have not heard of him for some time. We give
some of the outsiders a place in the odds by way of courtesy.

MR. GRAHAM'S DESCENT AT STRATFORD-I:MN-AVON. On
Wednesday evening Mr. Graham ascended from the Mont-
pelliet-garaens, Cheltenham, accompanied by Mr. Carter. The
balloon took a south-east direction towards Winchoulb. and
remained in sight, in consequence of the clearness of the atmos-
phere, more than 'half-an-hour. After remaining up one hour
and 20 minutes, the aeronauts descended on the farm of Mr.
SMith, nein Stratford-upon-Aron. In consequence of the pre-
caution used by Mr. Graham, in the descent, no concussion
whatever took place. The aeronauts received every assistance
from the men attached to Mr. Smith's farm, and, the balloon
being packed up, Messrs. Graham and Carter started in a pUst-
chaise and four, and reached Cheltenham about eleven the Name
night. On ascending, the balloon entered a cloud, when it was
so intensely cold that the aeronauts regretted not having their
great coats, and at which time the earth was perfectly obscured
from their sight. They had a fine view of the C(,tswold range
of hills, as also the beautiful vale of Evesham; they also had a
sight of the Shropshire hills, and could discern in the per-
spective the Bristol Channel. The dist.nce which the balloon
travelled was sore than 30 ines.--Standard.
Mtr.Toty.—lt has been stated that a gentleman, residing in
London, has recently discovered a number of manuscripts by
the poet Milton, in :in old chest, which has been in the pos-
session of his family for above a century. They are described
as chiefly written in prose, and to relate to government. A
correspondent remarks that the Chatterton affair, as also the
tricks of " Shakspeare" Ireland, eheuld cause these discoveri*s
ko be received with much caution.

PROFESSOR SWEDOUR'S I-IYGEAN PILLS.

VOR the effectual extirpation of every species and symptom
of the Syphilitic Oisease,and the many disorders arising from
improper treatment.
Prepared and sold by the sole Proprietor, at No. M, .Seel
street, Liverpool. (four doors from Slater-street) in boxes at
2s. 9d. and ,Is. 6d. each.

.3,-With each box is given directions how to takethese. Pills,
and observations on points, beneficial to the patient_ being hints
worth knowing, by those who are, or have been suferers from
this dreadful and devastating malady.
"Venienti oecurite morbo." /

"Oppose the disease in its infancy/.'C'
"These, 0 sinful pleasures, these are thy tritphies—'tis thus
co-operating with the foe of God and man, th u degradest hu-
man nature, and blasteth the opening pros cts of human fe-
licity."—Btarri.
So said Professor Swedour, when h iscovered his grand
PANACEA for this Complaint, The "HI an (then un-
known to the annals of medical discov es,) as a specific reme-
dy to exterminate from the system, that intruder on the plea-
sures frequently imbibed in moments of inebriation, or thought-
lessness : never did it discovery excite a greater sensation, it
was sought after with avidity, and used with undeviating
success in the most minute and intricate cases of the delicate
complaint, for the cure of which, they have been so long cele-
brated. The fame of these Pills throughout Germany, caused
their speedy introduction into almost every country, and ad-
dresses were presented to the talented Professor Swedour who
filled the chair at Leyden University, congratulatory of the cir-
cumstance. The certainty with which they were continually
administered, can be attested by many thousands, in fact during
the long continental war they were the inseparable companion
and safeguard of the soldier, in all cases where the slightest
suspicion of infection was entertained. What Medicine can be
more appropriate than that which has given such general satis-
faction. The Hygean Pills root out every particle of the insid-
uous poison, purifying in their progress the w hole mass of fluids,
they not only remove the disease, but renovate by their action
the different functions of the body—expelling the grosser. hu-
mours and in a manner so mild and imperceptible as to con-
vince the most sceptical of their astonishing • and unequalled
powers, they neither contain mercury or any other mineral,
and may be taken without the slightest suspicion of discovery—
they require no restraint of diet, loss of time, ,or hindrance of
business. The Hygean Pills maybe depended upon as a cer-
tain cure by persons of either sex, in all stages of a certaiu dis-
ease, and that without producing the least inconvenience. At
any period when the slightest suspicion may exist, it will be
well to have recourse to the Hygean Pills, for when taken be-
fore the disease has made its appearance it acts as a• certain
preventive, removing the complaint effectually and secretly.
The deplorable state in which many persons have been when
visiting the proprietor from the use of mercury, renders it im-
peratively necessary to caution the public against that danger-
ous mineral when injudiciously administered.
Dr. Davieson will attend daily at his residence, No. 54, Seel
street, Liverpool, from Eight in the morning until Ten ett,night
(on Sundays from Nin3 till Two,) where he gives advice to al
applicants taking any of his preparations, WITHOUT A PEE.
