      Lctds Derates Corai vf BAjiKHiiPTcr . —In this ^ ^^^ S **» esd » y last , before Mr . CcmmiEsioner Bere , Mr . ^^ , mas SmiatEon , tobacconist , of York , made ^ n application for his certificate . Ha was opP ^ fcy Mr . Blackburn , solicitor of Leeds , on ? ^ rr ^ , * * tlie Principal creditors , the Ytatehire DiaH wict PiSoKaad Mr , Thompson . Mr . B « nd , also ofi ^ se ^ - ^ iieito ^^ jjaeng ^^ ^ , the bankrupt . It * Pmredfrpm Mr . Blackburn ' s statement , iiiat the J ^ Srnpt wa 3 insolvent in 1834 , in npwardsof ^ 2 , 000 ; ta&t he subsequently « peiied an account wiih the ASncultural Bank , and obiained large advances « iat his profits since 1834 , had been about £ 550 a year , and has txpecditure about £ 800 . Daring this time he

      Tegolarly hunted , became a councillor of the « ly of Y-ork , and kept np a first rate appearance ] ±± e was new owing about s £ 4 , 800 , and his assets did not « xeeed £ 550 ; he iiad also made ^ everal false ffcafceasnts relative to some parts of his accounts Mr , Blaekburn argued i&ai as the 39 th sec . of the 5 and $ Victoria , had expressly provided that the Gtwat in deciding tfee question should consider the ^ 1 tjeoductof the bankrupt both before and after hia j tenkruptcj , that the bankrupt was not entitled to his | 5 ceraficate , on the ground that frem 1834 down to the present time , his conduct had been fraudulent , and I that he had not given a full statement of his affairs ; I Mr / Bond contended that there was no fraudulent intention on the part of the bankrupt , and attempted

      to explain omissions in his cash accounts . After the matter had been fairly gone into , the Learned Com : missioner delivered jndgment , observing that there was a material difference between a bankrupt passing bis last examination acd obtaining his certificate * Hemigbt tell all the truth , and though unsatisfactory ^ there might be sufficient reason ior passing his examination , hnt that did not furnish ground for grant- * ing ihe certificate . If the last act of parliament had not passMl , the bankrupt could not have obtained his certificate , for the opposing creditors were of an amonnr sufficient topreTent it , sod tha court must Jook at the fact of the creditors opposing , and to a considerable extent be guided by it . He fonnd , in

      this case , that the bankrupt , while in astaie of hopeless insolvency , had engaged in purEuita in which he wss ~ np ! justified ; that his whole conduct had been that of reckless extravagance and inattention to business , making a small profit and spending largely He found also that turing last year the bankrupt had made a return of his income at 4350 a year ; a course of proceeding which could not be sufficiently deprecated . la short , he found that from the commencement to the present time , the bankrupt had pursued a course of extravagance whollj usjnstifir able , that his profit fell far short of his expenditure ^ that npon his examination into his brother ' s accounts

      be hsd given most unsatisfactory answers , and made several tSifiercnt statements , first making his brother a debtor 3 s . 9 A .. then a creditor for £ 85 , and , lsstly a" dector for £ 37 ; that he had not given a fair and creditable account of his property ; and , therefore , taking all these things into his consideration , and looking at the fact that a large bady of creditors opposed his certificate , his Honor was bound to say that such a person should not be allowed easily to return to trade , and his judgment was , that the consideration of the certificate should be suspended for two years , and if at that time the bankrupt could come with a better statement of facts , he might do so .

      Tucebasce Festival . —The Leeds Temperance Society celebrated * ther annual festival on Tuesday last , at the Botanical Gardens . Fears had been entertained , from the very unsettled state of the weather , that this interesting celebration would h&ve to he abandoned ; thanks , however , to a kind Providence , the lowering clouds were stayed , and the sun gave forth his * yrhflaring beams , not in overpowering majesty , but so tempered that the heat was by no means unpleasant , while the day was everything that could be desired . The note of preparation was sounded soon after noon , and crowds of eager and anxious expectants were even then to be seen making towards Headisgley , along every one of

      the roads leading thereto , and long before the hour named for the tea to be on the table , it was placed beyond a matter of doubt that success would attend the enterprise . So great , indeed , was the throng at all the gates , that the money and ticket takers had great difficulty in fulfilling their office . The splend . d band of the 32 nd Infantry , and the excellent brass band from Bramley , were in attendance , and enlivened the company greatly by their performance . Tea was prepared in the large and spacious tent ; and an almost endless round of ansnseinetiis were participated In by all classes . John Barleycorn was brought to a public trial , and we need not say that , although he was ably defended the

      by counsel , he was found guilty of ^ being author of every 31 to which flesh is heir , and the miseries of the millions were clearly laid at his door . We did not heax his sentence , which was lost to us amidst the applause which nailed the verdict , but we suppose that utter banishment from society was decreed to be his lot . A party of glee singers contributed their efforts to please—and those e&orts were crowned with abundant success . Dancing , too , w&s freely participated in by numerous merry groups , to the sweet strains of the martial music ; and here it is

      but justice to say that the kind and obliging conduct of the leader of the band of the 32 ad , . was the theme of general and hearty approvaL We cannot , of course , give the exact number of the persons in the gardens ; it must have been Tery large , probably upwards of 12 , 000 . The amount of cash received , including the tickets for the tea , was 4202 10 s . 2 d ., of which the gardens would get £ 110 2 s- 3 d . as their share . It was near ten o ' clock before the whole of the company got ont of the gardens , and it is cheering to report that no accident , to far as we know , happened to mar the pleasures of the day .

      Assault asvUobbsky . —On Monday last , two men named Benjamin Thompson and William Beckwlth , of Huhslet , colliers , were charged before Messrs . Grace and Wright , at the LeedBConrt Bouse , with having committed an aggravated assault upon a person , on Sunday morning about three o ' clock , and also with having stolen his cloth cap . The prosecntor said he was returning from Wakefield , and that the prisoners attacked him at Thwaite Gate ; Thompson was the man who assaulted him , the other was only there . The cap not being found , and it being of no great value , the magistrates decided upon a summary -conviction , and fined Thompson £ 4 . and costs , or two months to Wakefield : Beckwith was

      discharged . Assaeu . —On Monday last , a young man named Da « d Hoiroyd was charged at the Leeds Court House with having been drank on Saturday night , and with having assaulted Mr . Superintendent James . He was fined 203 . and costs , or in default of payment , sent a month ^ o Wakefield . Ikqvesi . —On Monday morning , an in inquest was held at the Cardigan Arms Inn Bramley , before John Blackburn , Esq ., coroner , to inquireeon cerning the death of Henry Bates , ayonth fourteen years of age , who resided at Bramley , and who died rather

      suddenly on Saturday . Thadeeeased complained of being ill on Friday , and went to bed ; he was left there on Satnrday morning by his sister when she went to work , and on her return , about four o'clock in the afternoon , she fonnd him dead in bed . Mr . Galvert , surgeon , of Bramley , was directly sent for !; Jke made a post-mortem examination by order of this eoroner , in consequence of rumours he bad heard , and gave it as his opinion that ^ eath had been prodneed by a sudden attack of inflammation of the brain , arising from perfectly natural causeB , Verdict accordingly .

      Sesdat Schools . —On Monday last , according to annual custom on WMt-Monday , the scholars attending theYarions Sunday Schools in Leeds , assembled at different places , and were paraded through the streets to their respective places of worship , and were regaled besides with buns , and , in some instances , withiea . The Dissenters , or Sunday School Union , as nsual , had the use of the Cloth Hall Yard , where althongh there was a goodly number , yet they did not muster bo strong as on former years , probably owing , in a great measure , to the unsettled state of the weather , which prevented theattendance

      of schools from the country . The parochial schools attended the parish church , and the national school ? St George ' s church . The Catholic schools were at St . Ann ' s ; the Unitarian at Mill Hill ; the Wesleyans at their several chapeb—oiher denomination ? at theirs . On the whole , much pleasure seemed to arise to all parties connected witii the schools , and the children were as happy as children generally are under such circumstances . We believe it had been arranged for some of the schools to visit the Botanical Gardens , an intention which the weather had prevenied from being carried into effect in conseqnenoe of the very wet state of the ground .

      The Whits ^ uttde Holtdats have been kepi ap with great spirit here in Wakefield . Numbers of the various Secret Orders have held their Annual Festival , at the several Inns , in the town . Good eating and drinking seemed for once to have ruled the day . At Kewton , a display of rustic sports took place , and great numbers assembled together to enjoy the fun . The neighbourhood of Potovens held their feast on Monday last , and the scene was enlivened by the Temperance Brass Band playing at intervals duriDg the day . All care and sorrow was banished from the countenances of those who attended the feast .

      Ok Wednesday last , the annual festival of the Horbnry Church of England Sunday School took place , and a grand display was made upon the occasion . The party was headed by nine priests and six choristers dressed in their white surplices . A sort of High Mass was performed ; the Rcr . J . Sharp , of Horbury , took the principal part . After the performance , the children to about 200 in number , were plentifully regaled with tea aad buns in she garden of the Rev . J . Sharp , and seemed highly delighted with the treat . No doubimatiyof them had not partaken of such a meal since Lho last festival .

      ExTENsrvE Seizures at Wakefield . —During the past week the excise officers have been doing great things in this town in the way of seizures of scouring liquor . Tnis is an article used only by the poorer classes , to assist in lessening their toil , and contains a small proportion of soap . The soap in this manufacture having before paid duty , we are at a loss to know -what the excise : have to do with it . They have , entered the premises of the principal manufacturers in this town , and seized their stock ; they took about a gallon , belongirg to a widow , a shopkeeper in

      JNorthgate , and a further ' quantity from a poor man in New-street , who contrived to earn an honest livelihood out of the manufacture of the above liquid . They also took his tubs with them , besides frightening the poor old man out of his senses . Their disagreeable visits have also been extended to otheT parties in the neighbourhood ; thus hav © the stock of the petty shopkeepers been more rapidly exhausted than before , i We understand that an oificer bss been sent down from London , epeeially we suppose , to make this great seizure , the whole of which will not pay his railway fare down .

      Pn Wednesday last , the Wakefield Board of Guardians was attended by Mr . Clements , one of the assistant commissioners , from London , when the previons vote , that two relieving officers be elected , with £ 50 a year each , was rescinded . Mr . Clement wished for one with £ 100 salary , but wos overruled . After a deal of cavilling , the sum of £ 70 was agreed upon for one relieving officer . Os Sunday last three _ sermons were preached in the Primitive Methodist Chapel , by the Rev . J . Featherston , oi Swinefleet . After each sermon liberal collections were made on behalf of the children of the school . On Monday a public tea was provided for the teachers and children in the school room , and on Tuesday the : ohildren paraded the town under the guidance of their teachers . At various places appropriate pieces ; were 8 nnsj , in which they acquitted tnemselves in a manner which did great credit to their teacher 3 . '

      The Yorkshire Summer Assizes have , we understand , been fixed to be held on Wednesday , the 12 th of July next . BRADFORD . —Leeds United Order ov Odd Fkllows . —The members of Solomon ' s Lodge , No . 31 , held at the house of Mr . William Greaves , Manchester-road , Bradford , held their anniversary on Monday , the 5 th instant . The members sat down to an excellent dinner provided for the occasion by the worthy host . Public Meetixg of ; the Woolcoiibers op Bradford , —On Tuesday a public meeting of the wooloombers was held ia front of the Odd Fellows ' Hall , at one o ' clock , to take into consideration the distressed state of the trade . Mr . Marchal waa

      called to the ckair . He briefly stated the objects of the meeting , and called on Mr . George Aiuly to move the first resolution . " That this meeting considers the extreme distress to which wo and our families are reduced , attributable , in a great degree , to the reduction which has taken place in our wages within the last six years ; we , therefore , think it necessary ihat a union of some kind should be formed araongdypas for the protection of our industry- " Mr . Pifffes seconded the resolution in an appropriate speech . Mr . Fletcher supported it . Tho Chairman put it to the meeting , when every hand was held up for it . The second resolution , proposed by Mr . Heaton , seconded by Mr . Croft , and carried unanimously , was as follows : — "That we consider the

      principles upon which trades unions were founded erroneous ; for by raising funds cut of the labour of the employed to support the unemployed and families in time of strikes , was an inducement to idleness ; and we beli&ve such funds ought to be employed in finding work for our surplus labourers in produciive industry . " Mr . Clarke proposed . Mr . Butler seconded the third resolution , und waa very ably supported by Mr . Jade Yeateg— " Teat the gieat cause of a reduction of wageB is a surplus of labourers ; we therefore think it necessary to raise a fund for the purchase or rental of land , upon which to locate surplus labourers for the production and enjoyment of wealth ; thereby relieving the labour market and raising the price of labour . " ' That a , Committee of

      eleven persons be appointed at this meeting to draw up plans for that purpose . ' A committee of eleven persons were chosen according to the resolution . A vote of thanks was passed to the Chairman , and the meeting dissolved . —Immediately afterwards , Mr . Clarke was called to tho chair , who stated the objects of this second meeting was to get up a petition , praying for an inquiry into the prison discipline and dietary of Stafford gaoL jn the case of Cooper , Capper , and Richards . Mr . Smith addressed the meeting and read a petition similar to what was got up in other places . Mr . Hurley seconded it . The Chairman put it to the meeting and it was carried unanimously .

" A vote of thanks } was awarded to the Chairman for his ablo conduct in the chair , and to the other friends who have evinced an interest in this cause , after which the meeting separated . ' BARWSItEVi-Trade remains in a very depressed state . Not above one half or two-thirds of the looms in and about ; the town being employed .

Perhaps the' more ostensible object is to induce the hundreds who left the town to return , as there is a good itching on the part of some to reduce wages , and now that there is a strike already in the town . Mr . Frudd , manufacturer , has failed in liabilities to the amount of eight or ten thousand pounds , which haaicaused much delay . So much for the prosperous state Of Barnsley .

The people of England and Ireland , I am happy to perceive ,. are now about to join hands in friendship and union for the attainment of political rights ; and , if due direction bo given to that union , nothing under heayen can prevent the accomplishment of the combined purpose . No man in Ireland professing democratic principles , denies the right of the English people to the just claims put forth in the

      Charter ; and , it now the English demooratic party will admit the inalienable right of the Irish people to manage their owm affairs , we can seenre between us such a demonstration of unity of purpose and determination as will secure that no future Parliament of England can refuse or even hesitate to concede all that is beneficial to both countries , '' Mr . Eneas Daly moved the following resolution : ^ - " That this meeting returns its best thanks to Alderman Hayes for his unaeaeing desire to effect a union between the friends of freedom in both countries , and may his exertions be speedily crowned with suooess . " The speaker in the most eulogistic manner , ; spoke of the patriotism of this gentleman . Mr . P . Hoey seconded the resolution ,, and spoke in warm terms in its support .

The j detachment of the horse artillery and dragoons does not march now , as their object no longer exists , via ., to support the two companies . t \ An outbreak has likewise occurred at Jeypore .

      From Cabool the little intelligence received represents the star of Akhbar Khan ' s ] prosperity as being on the decline . He is stated to have lost much of his popularity , and to have been compelled to give way to the authority of Newab j Zeman Khan , who has been placed upon the throne '; he is represented ss having moved to Jellallabad to await the arrival of his father . The Delhi Gazette learns from an authentic source that the son of Meer V / aez « s on the throne of C&buJ , and the prospect of the Dost ' s return alone is said to-keep the people of that city from attacking Mahomed Akhbar , who is stated to ) have grown so unpopular that another attempt to murder him was made at Lughman . Its news writer from Lahore , on the other hand , reports that ] two Hurkaru * had arrived at Lahore from Cabul , w , ith despatches from Akhbar Khan , in which he said that he was about

      to send 12 , 000 cavalry with 7 , 000 infantry to Peshawur " to escort his father back ' . " The fears of the Lahore Court regarding a probable invasion from the west are evidently on the increase . Mahomed Akhbar was at Jellallabad , and much anxiety prevailed as to the result ; of Doat Mahomed ' s passage through ( he Khyber . At Delhi , the King continues jto resent the withdrawal of the Nuzzurs by our Government , by refusal to hold any communication ia Durbar even with his own nobles . He has declined to receive presents from any one on the occasions on which it is usual to offer them . He has expressed an intention of disposing of the whole of his j- wels , an'd had sent for jewellers t o value them , bat the j heir apparent has entered his protest against such a step , on the pica that they are crown and not personal property . J

      Disturbances upon a rather large scale have appeared hi tho Qude territory . The latter end of March , the Ranee of Huraha , haying collected 6 , 000 men and five guns , attacked Nowroz Ali Khan , the Aumil of that place , on account of some old crudgo . The fight lasted for three hours , when the lady obtained a signal victory , and the Aumil retreated with total loss ~> f ammunition jand baggage . The king and hh ministers are greatly grieved at f these disturbances . j On the 20 th of March , Nawub Tajooddeen Hossein Khan Chukladar , of Sultanpore , &c , and v / ell known at Cawnporo for his entertainments to the Sahib-log , was , by his Majastyi ' s orders , placed in confinement for arrears of revenue . He has be ^ n

      succeeded in his office by Ichan Singh , brother of Raja Dursun Singh . ( , The " First Annual Report from tho Governors of the Madras University" has appeared . It shews the low state of government education in that presidenoy . The Madras University owes its origin to Lord Elphinstone . Its governors are composed of natives and Europeans . In 1841 the Government proposed establishing provincial high schools at Trichinopoly , Masulipatam , Bellary , and Calicut . It resolved also , in accordance jwith tho proposition of Lord EJphinstone , to promote the spread of education among the hi g her clas 3 ofjnatives , by directing that , in every practicable instance , the minors who are the wards of the Board of'Revenue should be

      educated at institutions supported by the Government . The intelligence from China contains nothing remarkable except the death , on the 4 th March , of the Imperial Commissioner Elepoo , j which is likely to cause considerable delay in the settlement of tha treaty and the commercial arrangement . The Begociations necessarily cease till a * new Commissioner shall be appointed , and he may prove a person of different character . Elepoo has been a constant advocato for peace from the first , and it is believed that his death may give a preponderance to the war party . It is surmised that this Commissioner is likely tojbe Keying , and that it isj probable all further negotiations will be carried on in the North , whither it was Sir Henry Pottinger's intention to proceed , immediately after the arrival of Major Malcolm with , the ratification of the treaty . ( Ho was expected at Hong Kong about the middle of March .

      The Canton papers state that Elepoo , who was an aged man , had been for some time in declining health . His death occurred after & feast ! Singular stories are ? float amjr > ng the Chinese regarding the death of tho Commissioner ; according to some he has been poisoned , and others e ? r-n say that so onerous were to him the [ duties of his offiaethat in a moment of disgust he broke hia own head with his ink-stone ( the stone on which the Chinese prepare their ink ) . j At Canton , the same uneasy , unsettled , and in some instances hostile spirit w , as exhibited by the populace , * notwithstanding which , however , a fair business was being carried oi | . This unfriendly spirit is manifested only at Canton ; elsewhere , the inhabitants shew the most amicable feeling ? towards their late enemies . j We have no intelligence from Australia this month of the slightest interest .

John Lougkran , Pat M'Gill , P . M'Guirk , John Bradley , John M'G : adi ± tan , and Jam ob Kme ; in all , forty-five houses wrecked and entire furniture destroyed . M It is by this means that the faction seek to supply a pretext for coercive measures , in order that tha Orange Yeomanry may again be organised ^ and paid , and the lives and property of the Catholics left ones more at their mercy . " In the Newry Examiner we find the following account of the Urauge wreckings : —

      • For jeveral days previous , emissaries were busy in the neighbouring district' ' , summoning thaOrangemen to assemble . The plan was well organised , and ¦ Sk simultaneous invasion from several points having been determined on , several parties entered the town with fifes and drums , playing party tunes ; but one of the detachments , on passing a quarry , ata piaoe called Carland , within two miles of Dungannon , stopped to attack several men who were at work . They were resisted , ar , d the drum broken in the senffl \ No personal i » jury , however , was inflicted and the defeated party having made good their passage to . the . town were there reinforced , and matched back to the scene of action , resolved on vengeance

      Tk « y were followed by the police , at the head of whom was Mr . Wray , J . P ., agent to the Earl of Ranfurly . On arriving in tho neighbourhood of Carlan , the Orange party proceeded to wreck the houses of the Catholics ; they demolished upward * of thirty houses , and inflicted several serions injuries , besides plundering whatever property they coqldlay their hands on . The greater part of this mischief was perpetrated , as we are informed , in presenee of thf police , who remained passive spectators of tho scene until it was too late to interfere . The ruffiana at length were interrupted , and returned to Duneannon , where , for the rest of the day , yells and shouts and every description of drunken discord , disturbed the peace of the town . The Repealers remained , throughout this irritating scene , perfectly quiet . "

      The wreckings , according to this statement , fook place in preserve of the police . But , indeed , this is taaitly admitted by the Orange journals of the district , ono of . which , the Northern Standard , published in the adjoining county of Monaghan , glories in the a'rocities , and , in the excitement of gratified vengexnee , incites the Orangemen to murder Mr O'Connell . It is pretended that a detachment of tho armed Orangemen , passing through Carland , were attacked by the'Catholic inhabitants of the hamlet , who , it i 3 admitted , were without arms . The pretext for tha subsequent wreckings and plunder is the fabrication that the unarmed Catholics were the aggressors upon an armed pavty of Orangemen ! It is thus * that the Northern Standard reports progress on the work of devastation : —¦ ¦

      " We learn that in all forty-five houses were razed to the ground ; but , although we heard this from very excellent authorities before wol ^ ft Dungannon , we scarcely think it possible that so much mischief could have been done ia so very short a time , as Sub-inspector Irwin and the constabulary force under His command , accompanied by Robert Wray , Esq ., J . P ., left town a few minutes after the procession , and proceeded with the utmost dispatch to the scenaof . action . It is fortunate that the Repealers cut and run—it isfortunato that they aro cowards as well as bullies—otherwise the consequences would ' have been dreadful—many , very many lives would hive been sacrificed , and the crisis which is " approaching might have been hastened to an immediate consummation . IS is equally fortunate that the wounds inflicted on Morrow were not fatal » for if they were , aud that he or one of his party had been sent to their account , O'Connell would have

      a ve-y short time to triumph in his agitation . —However , having wrecked their vengeance on the property of their enemies , the procession returned into town , and paraded through every street , marching ia merry order ta the airs of' The Piotestant Boya , ' ' Croppies lie down , ' &o . About Bix o'clock they separated for a little time aud partook of refreshment , provided for them by some of the loyal inhabitants , and again having assembled in the Diamond , they welcomed a company of the 83 < i , which arrived from Charlemont , wih three hearty cheers . This force was brought from their quarter" through a torrent of rain , in censequenoe of an affidavit made by one of the Repealers , a shop or public-house keeper , or something of that sort , whose name , wa believe , is Farrell , that his house wag in danger j and that the leaders of the Repeal party were made to cry peccavi when they roused the Protestant lion . The army were not , however , required .

      • ' About seven o ' clock the entire body again assembled ia . the Diamond , and being told off in companies , ieft tho town in the most peaceable manner , their bands playing before them . " This ia the Orange glorification of the wrecking ? . Another Orange organ , the Newry Telegraphy gives the following account of the Backers of the village bf Carland : — " The procession moved on in the direction of Carland ; but as its progress was comparatively slow , a number of the more rash and hot-headed of the assemblage ran forward at full pp ^ ed towards the village . Arriving there , and finding that tho Repealers had taken to their heels , they , exasperated to a pitch of fury at the treatment their friends had experienced , commenced , I am sorry to say , tha wrecking of the Repealers' dwellings . While the work of destruction was going on , our local magistrate , R . Wray , Esq , arrived at the place with a party of police , aad no further'damage was done /'

      Tnia is the Orange admission . Mr . Wray , who is , we understand , the agent of Lord Ranfurly , arrived whilst ; the Orangemen were engaaed in wreoking and robbing the houses of the Catholics . Why did not Mr . Wray order the arrest of the lawless banditti ! He saw them wrecking the houses , and maltreating the poor defenceless women . Why , we demand , did he not direct their immediate apprehension ? This is a question which Mr . Wray must answer . We would suggest that a copy of his ri port to Government should at once be moved for in the House of Commons .

      And here a word respecting the Arms Bill . The discretion is given to the magistrates to allow arms to those they consider qualified . Here we find a mob of araed Orangemen engaged in the commission of outrage , and instead of apprehending and dfoarmif ' g t ' ifam , the Orange organ tells us that justice was satu-fi ; d , because " no further damage was done . " Hero is an illustration of what we are to expect under the operation of the Arms Bill . Lord De Grey and his Castle advlserB are now offi : rnga reward of £ 100 for the apprehension of the Orunve banditti . The following proclamation appears in the Gazette of last night : — " Dublin Castle , June 2 , 1843 .

      Whereas it has been represented to the Lord-Lieutemmt , that on the 30-h ultimo , several houses in the towulands of Lisboy , Carland , Feroy ,-iand Cretragh , situate in the parish of Donfighmore , and county of Tyrone , were considerably injured by an assemblage of ptrbons , about 4 , 000 in number . His excellency ,. for the better apprehending and bringing to justice the perpetrators , of this outrage , is hereby pleased fooffjr a reward of £ 100 to any person or persoiis f ^ xcf-pt the persons or persons who actually committed thesanv ] , who shall , within six months from thedate hereof , give such information aa shall lead to the apprehension and conviction of ail , and proportionally for one or more of the persons conctrned therein . " By his Excellency ' s command , E . LucaS . "

      It is too late , my Lord De Grey . You will never hear of thcarrest of ono of them . The Orangemen are sworn to be true to each other , and they are too well organized to break tho compact .

      INDIA . By the Overland Mail despatches we learn that we still keep up our National Character in India frightfully ; plunder and rapine and murder mark our footsteps with diabolical precision . The press is in ecstacies . TheSimsays : — " The News from India , brought by the last Overland Mail , is of the most gratifying description . The gallant Napier , with his little invincible army , has gained another victory— -captured , destroyed , or dispersed a second army of 20 , 000 , and taken possession of Meorpoor , and the important fortress of Oomercote . It appears that an army of Belochees , twenty thousand strong , under the command of

      Meer Shere Mahomed , had taken up a strong position on the river Fullalie , near the spot where the Ameers of Soinde were bo signally defeated ; and Sir C . J . Napier , Jon ascertaining tho fact , resolved to attack th * m forthwith . On the 24 th of March , he moved from Hyderabad at tho head of 5 , 000 men with seventeen guns and howitzers , j The battle lasted for three hours , and during that time occurred many displays of cool and determined valour almost unparalleled in modern warfare . Victory at last declared for the British army ; eleven guns , and nineteen standards were taken ; about 1 , 000 of the enemy were killed , and 4 , 000 wounded . Shere Mahomed escaped , but was hotly pursued by the Indian Horse , and little doubt remained that he would speedily be captured . "

      The character of this gratifying victory may bo estimated by any mind possessing an atom of Christian or honest feeling , from the following description given by a Correspondent of the Bombay Courier : — *• ThHs ended a ! splendid 6 ght , in which our loss has necessarily been very severe , about 300 killed and wounded , out of which the gallant 22 ud have lost 145 , including five | or six officers . They had to assault the strongest partjby far , and they did- it right well . I was by Sir Charles * side . the whole time until I went with the Poona Horse . Ha rode in among the 22 nd and waved his hat , calling out at the same time # l 22 nd , charge . " We found a -ramp in the

      nullahs by which we were enabled to cross on horseback , the Belocheies fighting all the time desperatoly . We then came right shoulders forw&rd and brought a flanking fire on them and slew them in hundreds-I was nearly blown up by oae of the enemy ' s magazines ; however , Ij fortunately escaped with a Blight burning . Sir Charles is a splendid General , and exposed himself the whole of the fight where the shot were flying thickest . Altogether the General is justly proud of the result of the battle , but of course much regrets the Uoss of the poor mi fortunate but gallant 22 ad , who certainly sustained the brunt of the battle . NoiaBelooch was spared : the soldiers shot and bayoneted them in &uch a manner as is seldom witnessed "

      O rare , Christian England ! How soon shalt thou evangelize , the worl d ! Sir C Napier has published a rampant piece of fustian about the matter in the form of " an address to the troops !" The fallen rulers of Soinde reached Bombay on the 19 th April , on board of H . M . ' s sloop Nimrod : Open carriages were ia attendance , and an escort of cavalry accompanied them to their , place of residence . The Ameers , being prisoners of state , are retained in strietiseolusion . They are described a * broken-hearted and miserable men , —maintaining much of the dignity of fallen greatness , and without any qnerulons or angry complainings at this unalleviable source of Borrow , refusing to be comforted , —the very pictures of unraingled grief , and hopeless

      despondency . Poor Meer Roostum of ; Khyrpoor , so long our ally , , the ; first Scindian chief who ventured to express his admiration of us , and to desire our friendship—by much the most intelligent and hardly dealt with of them all—reoognised Captain Del ' Hoste in a moment , and embraced him in a paroxysm of the deepest emotion . Captain Del' Hoste had fed with him , and had lived with him for months , and he now looked on him as the only friend he had in a land of strangers . One of the chiefs , supposed to havejbeen connected with the murder of Capt . Ennis , has been placed in dose confinement ; the others ; will enjoy as many comforts and as much freedom : as is consistent with their safe custody , till the pleasure of the Governor-general be known .

      A disturbance has broken out at Khytul , in the Delhi district : — "On the recent death of the Rajah of Kytul , the territory lapsed to the Company ; the widow Ranee , it appears ,, refuses to give up her late husband ' s possessions , and has shut up herself in her fort . Mr . Clerk , ; was in consequence , obliged to apply to Gen . Fast for troops and guns , and the head quarters of the 72 nd Regiment , N . I . received orders to march immediately from Kurnau ; the three companies of the same regiment at Umballah are also directed to proceed towards K-ytul ; and the two conj sanies pf the 72 nd N . I ., from this statidn , which were on treasure escort duty in the neighbourhood under Captain McjDougaU , had been made available for the same Beryioe . The following ; letters from KurnauV , dated April 11 , report the latest state of affairs . " ;

      "It was reported here that the Khyfcal Ranee was prepared and determined to fight if we did not come to her terms , and that she had 160 villages , who had agreed to furnish her with 100 men each , thus making 16 , 000 men . The head man of each village had in a Punchayet sworn to preserve her right , and her ryots were willing to fight ; It appears that she had promised to take only one-third of the produce should she prove victorious , and said that she wonld be assisted by powerful friends who would ultimately enable her to brave any power . Tbis day has given us good proof of what she has been able to do . A party of the 72 nd Regt , N . L came in completely disorganised , after a fight , they say , with

      6 , 000 hor . se and foot . They were at it all night , and acknowledge to this loss of only thirty men , while the enemy must have lost 500 . Artillery and two troops of H . M . 3 rd Dragoons are sent off to Khytul . " Kornanl is in ' a terrible commotion . The two companies 72 nd left at Khytul were attacked and driven out of their position , camp burned , thirty or forty men killed . Whistler- killed , and Farre badly wounded .

From the Dublin Evening Post . ) In the Honse of Lords , on Thnrsday , Lord Lorton required the calling out of the Orango Yeomanry , in order to produce "a great moral effect throughout the country , " ! and as " the surest and most effectna . ' mods of restoring tranquillity !" Whilst the Orange Lord was making this demand , the Orange Yeomanry were already out , actively employed in producing " a great moral effect , " after their old fashion , in tho wrecking and burning of the houses of unoffending and defenceless Catholics , in the county of Tyrone—in maltreating and robbing poor widows and hc-lple-s children , and in regaling themselves in the houses of the | " Loyalists , " in the town of Dungannon , after they had accompli heed the glorious work of wrecking in a neighbouring village . j

      Those atrocious crimes were committed in the open day , upon Tuesday laBt , ' within seventy-six miles of Dublin ; and after the lapso of four days , the organ of Lord de Grey , the Dublin Evening Mail , suppresses all allusion to them , being engaged , like Lord Lorton , in demanding ] the re-organization of the Orange bloodhounds , whose first demonstration of their capacity to " restore tranquillity" is described in the following communication . This narrative is derived from our [ correspondent , who confines himself to the plain facts ot these most atrocious outrages : — J " Dungannon , Friday . " I arrived here this morning , sod found the

      place in a state of extreme excitement , owing to outrages of a very atrocious nature having taken place oa Tuesday last . I find , in last night's Evening Packet , the outrage referred to , under the following head— 'Fkuits of theJRepeal Agitation ' —and then follows an indistinct confusion of facts , such as m-vor could have proceeded from any person , except for the purpose of concealment of the truth . Now , there was , on that day , no Repeal meeting of any kind within sixty miles o f the place ! ! But there was a gathering of Orangemen from different quarters , with drums and fifes , Tplayiog party tunes , without even the semblance of 1 meeting to petition , or pass resolutions , or even make speeches . What the object of the gathering could have be > n is not

      discoverable , except from its results ; it is supposed tho object was to deter petitioners from holding any meeting , even within doors , in this town in future . After parading the toyfn in a disorderly manner , without any avowed object , the ] body left town and proceeded , with drums beating , and a purpleJlag flying , with the words No Rep \ aV on one side , and * the Queen and British connection' on the other . They thus proceeded to a smali village called Carland , about two miles north of { this , where they sei to demolishing , ransacking , breaking and plundering all the houses of the Catholics reaident in that town and its vicinity , to the amount of , I am cre ^ dibly informed , ' forty-five houses ! 1 passing by each Protestant dwelling without the slightest molestation J f f

      " I enclose an accurate account , taken by a respectable individual , who took an inventory of the mischief done . j " Mark this ! the entire havoc was done without the slightest opposition , for the poor inhabitants fled on the approach of the Orangemen . " I can hardly bring you to believe all this , but it is true ; it was sometime before I could believe it myself , though described by eye-witnesses , " p ? he inventory alluded to occupies ten or twelve pages ; but as the details ot thejwork of devastation are generally of the same character as regards all the houses wrecked , we shall , for the present , coufiue ourselves to Vno following epiton ^; : — Edward O'Donncil—A . b ? d ? fcad smashed , aLo two wheels , twu cheats , a ret- ] , k &fcrIf , three crocks , ad ^ z ^ n of p ' fi ^ fl ? , an iv >> r pi , t , anM two -. vi .-dows .
