Mauritius is two months journey from Calcutta, and that he would have to be shipped, that people are required there to hew stones, he therefore objected to go, but was not released. He received no money, but was fed and kept a prisoner for a month.

The depositions of the remaining forty-four men are to the same effects as the above, and many of them said they were carried to vakeel Hughes' house. The whole of these men were examined by Mr. Thomas Francis, as we stated some time ago.

The accompanying communication was received by the magistrate during the week, but the men therein named were not sent for, as they were not named by any of the kidnapped men.

Supt. Sudder-bazar office, Barrackpore, July 18,1838 SIR, Two men whose names are noted in the margin, having been apprehended by the No. 99, "Humarain & Tha police of the sudder-bazar, under koor" cloth-sellers, suspicion of being parties concern. ed in kidnapping coolies, and of having absconded from Calcutta to avoid inquiry; I have thought it right to make them furnish security for their appearance, should their names have been brought before you in the course of the late investigation regarding the shipment of coolies.

I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obdt. Serv (Signed) JOHN BUTLER, Capt. TO THE MAGISTRate of the 24-PeRGUNNAHS, Calcutta. Narain jemadar, on being called on for his defence, said, that he did not kidnap any individuals. The fac is (said Narain) that vakeel Hughes is in the habit of shipping coolies to the Mauritius, and for the procurement of men gave defendant, Rambux and Bissonath, badges, purwannahs and 50 rupees. Defendant procured seven or eight individuals, and defendant got two rupees a head for each man. Bissonanth and Rambux brought the three men and the three women to defendant's house, who have been released and brought here. One of the individuals escaped from defendant.

Prem Singh, on being called on for his defence, soid that he was ordered by vakeel Hughes to procure men for the Mauritius, offering him at the rate of two rupees per man; defendant therefore went to Bancoorah, and having informed all the men that they would have to go to Mauritius, Sanker, Ruggonauth, and Jaddoo agreed to go to Mauritius, and accompanied defendant to Calcutta. Defendant took these men to vakeel Hughes' where they consented to be saipped, and also consented before Captain Birch, and defendant did not kidnap any persons. Mahadeo, on being called on for his defence, said, that he is employed by Bhodoo duffadar, with whom he went to Hazareebaugh, and from there brought Thaika, Mungul, and Byjnatub, (released and brought here) to ship them to the Mauritius. They consented to go, and defendant delivered them over to vakeel Huglies' Moonshee, named Golam Oulleeah: that defendant did not kiduap any persons.

"You all have heard the charge and the evidence that has been read. You have carried on a traffic in which you have with a little difference been selling your fellowcreatures, and even your brothers, in particular instances. Had you done only that, your punishment would have been the severest that it is in my power to inflict; but you have added to the amount of your crime by having subjected those, whose liberties you attempted under false promises to sacrifice, to bad and violen: treatment, which the law constitutes as assault of the most unprovoked nature, and to privatious which must make their sufferbeen guilty of acting illegally, and the example I will make ings doubly severe.

Mr. Dias submitted that as the agents and duffadars were convicted, he thought it sufficient to call on the prindence against Mr. Hughes. The magistrate said, that in cipal for his answers. There was strong presumptive evithe depositions of several of the kidnapped men, Mr. Hughes had been named, and from the allusions in others to a vakeel saheb there was not the least doubt in the magistrate's mind of Mr. Hughes having employed agents for the procurement of inen for shipment to the Mauritius. Mr. Hughes had however sheltered himself. from punishment under a defective law which enables him

to say,

as consented to go, were sent to Captain Birch, those who I employed these men to procure coolies, such did not, I would not register." Mr. Hughes will however have to make out how several men whose depositions have been recorded, state that they went to Mr. Hughes and afterwards to Captain Birch, that they never agreed to be shipped and received no money. One man (said the magistrate) deposed, that the bangle was put on his arm by force by Mr. Hughes.

The magistrate concluded by saying, that he believed Birjee Ram, alias Bhodoo, on being called on for his the case that had been just decided would be productive defence, denied having kidnapped any individuals, but of one great good, that of checking the system of kidnap. that he is in the employ of vakeel Hughes.

Those men agreed before Hughes to be shipped, and also before the police. Those men were fed by defendant for two months, and they wish to get over the amount of diet-money.

The other defendants almost urged the same pleas, though some did not mention vakeel Hughes' name; after which the magistrate having considered the whole of the depositions, desired the sherishtadar to explain the following conviction to those against whom sufficien' proof has been obtained.

the indefatigable part he had taken, and that his conduct throughout the proceedings was deserving of the highest praise, and that Mr. Dias, ought to feel the gratification of having been instrumental in effecting the release of nearly 125 individuals.

The coolies were then called in one after another, and purwanas were delivered to them certifying their release through the fouzdarry court of zillah 24-pergunahs under the signature of the magistrate and the seal of the court. --Hurkaru, July 26.

Up to the period of Major Todd's departure, it would seem, that the besieged vigorously resisted, and had been successful in two or three sorties, capturing on one occasion two guns, and topuiting 200 of the assailants hors de combat. There were Russian officers in the Persian camp, and it was rumoured, a Russian army was moving on Herat from Khiva. Some offer of mediation between the Shah and Prince Kamran, by the Russian envoy, is alluded to, as having been refused by the latter, who is said to have preferred the British representative.

THE HEREFORDSHIRE.-The Herefordshire, when taken into dock the other day was surveyed by competent persons and pronounced by them not to have received the slightest damage of any consequence, from her having been so long on the Fultah sand; but, on the contrary, that she was as sound and good in her timbers, and as sea-worthy as any ship in the harbour.

OPIUM AND CAPTAIN MACGOWAN.-It is said, that an in fluential house in China promised the Captain of the Ann, five thousand rupees, if he got there before the Ariel, and communicated to their agents here the advance of prices on opium in China, the Ann did beat the Ariel, and the agents here got the news in time to make large purchases in opium the day before the sale at the low prices! by which clever arrangement a very considerable sum will be realized.

MADDOCK RULES.--The Maddock rules have been rejected by the army; of 752 votes 627 or in other words a majority of nearly 5 to 1 having been for their abolition. MORE BLOOD HORSES.-Three more blood stallions

have arrived in the Eliza, Captain Lay, under charge of six recruits, who, in case of their conduct on the voy age being reported satisfactory, are to be allowed a gratuity of forty rupees each. The horses were landed yesterday by Messrs. Hunter and Co. in whose sta bles they will continue till boats are declared to be in readiness to take them unto Buxar, from whence they will, at the ensuing cold-season, be distributed to the different studs.

AUGMENTATION OF THE ARMY.-The order regarding the expected augmentation of ten privates per company, in the native infantry is published. One duffadar and 19 sowaurs per rissallah is authorized for the 2d, 3d and 4th local horse; and an additional rissallah to the 5th local horse.

NEPAULESE PREPARATION FOR WAR.- Letters were received in town on the 3d instant, from Titelya, announcing the arrival at the station of the ladies of Colonel Lloyd's family, in consequence of news having reached that officer at Dorjeling, of a Goorkaw party of one hundred men having taken possession of Nogra, a position on the old roa, about 10 miles from Dorjeling, and which was formerly occupied by a detachment of sepoys. The Goork ws were stockading themselves and building a house for the reception of two hundred men, who were collecting in various quarters.

Nogra is considerably within the frontier line, which divides the Nepaul territory from the country of the Sickhim rajah, and is within the district ceded by the latter to us. This irruption, therefore, is a direct ag gression, which will, of course, be immediately resented.

It is said also, that the passes leading into Rungpoor Purneah, &c. had been occupied by the Nepaulese troops to the number of about 20,000 men.

HERAT AND THE PERSIANS.-Major Todd arrived at Cabul bout the 20th of June, having left Herat about the 22d of May, at which date it had not surrendered to the Persian troops. Unfortunately the bazar rumours

DACOITEES.- - Reports of the commission of several dacoitees, after the perpetration of which the robbers escaped with impunity, have been published this month also. When will we have a competent police to detect these depredators for the perpetration of their maraudings.

A WOMAN CARRIED OFF BY AN ALLIGATOR.-On Mon. day last, a woman, as she was bathing at a ghaut at Goopey, on the opposite side of Hooghly, was carried off by an alligator, of a monstrous size.

ORDERS ΤΟ THE THANADARS, &c.-The thanadars, naibs, and chokeedars have lately been prohibited from having money transactions with the inhabitants of their respective jurisdictions, and, especially, from borrowing any from them. The measure has originated from the circumstance of one of these worthies, having on a charge of corruption being preferred against him, attempted to evade the same by the plea that the sum talked of was a loan to him. This is certainly good, and, it is hoped, will prove effectual. Mr. McCann distribut ed blank books to the thanadars of Calcutta, for the purpose of entering therein, such orders as are issued from time to time for their guidance.

CHOWKFEDAREE TAX IN THE SUBURBS.—

-We have just learnt, that the magistrate of the 24-pergunnahs is about to adopt measures for the more equitable levy of the chokeedaree tax in the suburbs, though the act of Government, in itself, opposes a serious difficulty in the way of a just imposition of this tax, by fixing certain rates as leviable from each description of house, without reference to their dimensions, they being clasifi ed into "huts, shops, lower-roomed puckah houses, and upper-roomed puckah houses," the highest rate on the latter of which is fixed at two rupees; so that the small brick-house, 10 feet square, inhabited by a native at a rent, perhaps, of two rupees per mensem, is chargeable at the same rate as the large lower-roomed house on a rent of fifty to eighty rupees per mensem.

KIDNAPPERS PUNISHED.-The undermentioned individ

The draught which continues uninterruptedly, and unmitigatedly, and is becoming a matter of very serious consideration, has begun to affect the market. Wheat, which was, in the middle of June, selling at 13} seers, is now at 113, and the prices of other grain has risen in proportion.

The number of poor employed, exhibits a decrease of 13,922. This is a striking commentary on the views entertained by some of our worthy economists, as to the expediency of allowing these paupers just sufficient food to save them from absolute starvation, because if it were aised beyond this allowance they would never disperse, but remain slothfully depending on Government.
