The following telegram was received by the India Board at a late hour on Friday morning: The fighting commenced on the 13th. Two guns were captured from the enemy, and the fort of Jellabad destroyed. Camp- bell succeeded in occupying Delkhosah and Martiniere. The enemy attempted to recover their position a few hours sub- sequently, but were repulsed with heavy loss.
The heavy artillery then opened on the Samuch for three hours, and the position was carried at dusk, after a despe- rate fight. Outram and Sir H. Havelock then met Sir Colin Campbell. General Windham is stated to have marched to attack them. The force met the enemy on the 25th of November near Kurnaul, and defeated them with great slaughter, and the loss of all their guns. Our loss was 15 killed and 45 wounded, but Colonel Gerard wa8 among the killed. The Gogaria rising has been entirely put down.
Neemuch has been besieged by the Mundisore insurgents for nearly a fortnight. On the 21st of November an attempt was made to take the fort by escalade, but the enemy were repulsed with great loss, and the siege was raised on the 22d. The insurgents were repulsed. On the 23d the column advanced to the north of Mundisore, on the Neemuch road, and found the rebels in a strong position, with five guns. The position was immediately attacked, and the rebels de- feated with the loss of all their guns.
While this battle was in progress the Mundisore garrison came out and attacked our rear, but they got well beaten also. The rebels in the fights of the 21st and 23d lost 1, men, while our loss was inconsiderable. Lieutenant Gedmayne, of her Majesty's 24th Dragoons? The column afterwards took Mundisore on the 25th, the rebels having evacuated it on the night of the 24th.
A part of the Madras column defeated a body of the insurgents near Sconce, on the Jubbulpore road, on the 10th of November, and took two guns. The Bheel disturbances in Khandeish continue, but the Bheels are con fined to the hills, and will be attacked in their strongholds when the jungle is cleared. The Minister of the Kolapore State was stabbed in his office on the 23d of November by an Arab soldier.
The wounds are slight, and the Arab was actuated by private motives only. A force was advanced from Belgaum to restore order. The state of things in that part of the country is not satisfactory. The breaking up of the sea of ice, the aurora borealis, and other striking and beautiful panoramic scenery are exciting in the highest degree.
It is replete with other startling effects, with mutinies, miraculous escapes, awful deaths, touch- ing passages, inhuman plots, imposing tableaux, stirring denoue- ments; but above all, more delightful than all the pictorial, mechanical, and musical display; art can devise, the enchanting impersonation of Ogarita, the Wild Plower of Mexico, in all the loveliness and abandon of innocence, and the beauty of paradi- saical nature— such a form as our novelists and poets rave about, but never portrayed half so well as dees Laura Keene— this is the most attractive feature of the performance, superior as it is in other respects, and werth more to see than we care to men- tion in these hard and rebellious times.
Thesiger, Mr Edwin James, Q. The defendant was indicted for wilful and corrupt perjury, assigned upon a deposition made by him in the Arches' Court of Canterbury. It appeared that a Mr Omwell Lloyd Ewans had instituted a suit in that court against his wife, Maria Sophia Evans, for a divorce a mensa ct thoro, upon the ground of adultery committed with the defendant; and that the depo- sition on which the perjury was now assigned was made by the defendant in opposition to that suit.
Mrs Evans, who was previously a Miss Carrington, was the dauzhter of a gentleman, who lived in Lansdowne4errace, Cheltenham. The defendant also was a gentleman in a respectable position, who resided in Cheltenham, and wai a magistrate of that borough. The defendant had been living for many years separate from his wife, in consequence of incompatibility of temper. While residing at Cheltenham he had become extremely intimate with the family of Mr and Mrs Carrington, aud with the lady who afterwards became the wife of the prosecutor.
It would be shown that, though he was many years older than the lady, he used to put his arms round her and kiss her. The first allegation on which the perjury was as- signed was his denial of what took place when it was alleged he had taken Miss Carrington in a fly out for a drive. He had ordered a man to drive out towards Charlton Park, a rural and sequestered drive, and to take up a lady on the road, That lady was Miss Carrisgton, who was about 23 or 24 years or age.
The man took up Miss Carrington and the defendant, and on his way back to Cheltenham the man looked into the fly, and there saw the defendant and Miss Carriugton in such a position as could leave no doubt of his guilt. The evidence of the driver would be corroborated by two other witnesses, who had taade memoranda of what had occurred; so that this part of the case would be proved by three witnesses.
Mr Evans in the year made proposals of marriage, and was accepted. Mr Evans was a gentleman of grsat fortune. He had been educated at Eton and Oxford.
Bells Life in London and Sporting Chronicle [Town Edition]
The marriage took place in the month of Novem ber, , but it was not a happy one; and in the month of March, , a separation took place. Mr Evans had behaved liberally to his wife on her marriage; asd on their separation he had placed her in a position to be independent of her family. It would appear that after the separation the intimacy with the defendant was resumed. In the year Mrs Evans came to London, and the defendant took lodgings for her in the vicinity of Great Cumberland- street, where defendant's mother resided.
The defendant, who was a handsome man, there visited Mrs Evans. This was at No. Mr Phillips was a tailor of respectability, who let lodgings. The lodgings were taken by the defendant for a fortnight, and he there visited her as often as two or three times a day. No ladies visited Mrs Evans while she was there, but the defendant's visits were constant. Indeed, the defendant himself, in his deposition, admitted that he visited her there twice a day. It would be shown tha; he was in the habit of taking her out, and that in two or three days a latch- key was furnished to him, which he used continually for a fortnight at all times of the day.
It would not be proved that he was ever in the bedroom; but it would be shown that he was constantly alone with Mrs Evans in the drawing- room, and that on one occasion he went up and knocked at her bedroom door. It would also be proved that in the month of August, 1S53, a man named Munn, who was a gardener, saw the defendant with Mrs Evans walking from the town of Cheltenham in the evening; that he followed them, andactually saw the act of adul- tery committed under the wall of a garden.

It would bo shown that in the month of June, , the defendant took lodgings for Mrs Evans at No. Mrs Evans had been there a fortnight, when the application was made to the landlady, Mrs King, by Field, a detective officer. The servant's name was Grocott, and she was the cook. The drawing- room occupied by Mrs Evans was separated from the adjoining room by folding aoors, against which a chest of drawers was placed, so that the doors could not be opened, but a hole was bored through the panel so as to afford a view of a portion of the drawing- room. Soon after Mrs King, the landlady, Mrs Price, and Mrs Grocott, looking through the hole, saw the act of adultery committed.
Mr Evans instituted proceedings in the Ecclesiastical Court to obtain a diverse a mensa et thoro, with a view ultimately to ob- taining a divorce a vinculo matrimonii. In those proceedings the defendant was a competent witness, he not being a party, and he had sworn the deposition on which perjury was nsw assigned. In that deposition the defendant had denied all the material allegations made against him; but when he came to the main fact he used these peculiar words of denial, to which the learned sergeant said he wished to call the attention of the jury.
The words were these: He said they were first taken into a little dark room, where they made a state- ment, and thence they were removed into another room, where they were sworn; but they were not subjected to any public ordeal of cross examination before the tribunal which was to say whether they were to be believed.
It was apprehended also that the decision of Sir John Dodsoa would be found a difficult estoppel in the new court which was about to be established, and therefore it could not be denied that Mr Evans had a very great interest in the result of this case. As to the early intimacy of the defendant with Mrs Evans, there would be no difficulty, for that would be proved by the defendant's own statement.
As to the affair in the fly there would be three witnesses.
27/12/1857
With respect to the adultery at No. The defendant swore that he had sio latch- key, but that would be proved by Mr and Mrs Phillips and by the servant; so that, if it was not true, all three witnesses would be guilty of perjury. As to the transactions at No 2, Bryanston- street, all three witnesses would be guilty of perjury and conspiracy if what they stated was not true.
So that if the charge against the defendant was not true, as many as nine persons in all would be guilty of perjury. With respect to those witnesses no imputation could be cast upon any one of them, except a Mrs King, who kept the house No 2, Bryanston- street. She would admit that her early conduct was not dis- tinguished by the rules of chastity, and that she had lived under the protection of a gentleman named Walsh; but whatever might have been her conduct in that particular, it was not cre- dible that she could be sunk in such a depth of wickedness as to conspire to injure a woman for no motive whatever.
It would be said, perhaps, that by a comparison of minutes, aud fractions of time, such as quarters of an hour, it was impossible the defendant could have been there at the time. The jury, however, would care- fully examine into these points, and in giving their verdict would decide according to the character of the witnesses. Thesiger then rose to address the jury for the defendant. The learned counsel contended that, considering the nature of the evidence and the character of the witnesses, the jury could not, with any degree of justice, find the defendant guilty.
He intimated that it was his intention to call evidence, and that Mrs Evans, whose character and position in society were at stake in this trial, had volunteered to come forward to deny in the most distinct and positive manner that any indecent liberties had taken place between her and Mr Eobinson, or that she had committecf adultery with him. Mrs Evans would there- fore be put in the box and subjected, no doubt, to the rigid examination of his learned friend who conducted the prosecution. In the course of his remarks the learned counsel referred to one of the agencies by which a certain part of the evidence on the other side had been procured.
That system was likely to prove most mischievous. If these persons confined themselves to following and apprehending fugitive felons, perhaps good more than harm would result from these proceedings; but if they were to be employed as spies to watch individuals from month to month, and, as in this case, from year to year, for the purposa of discovering something, it was important their em- ployers should know such a practice might lead to very con- siderable danger in all the walks of life.
Those persons could Hot work without instruments, and they must necessarily engage as their instruments the basest and most worthless of society. The character of a spy was so odious, so contrary to the na- tural and national feeling of Englishmen, that people rejected with scorn the very notion of being employed in such a capacity, and he hoped the odium which attached to it would always be felt in this country.
Persons of that depraved class were re- warded for their services, aud probably according to their suc- cess ; and when they failed to discover might be disposed to fabricate. And when once they received the reward of their iniquity, they would not scruple to go forward in the same course, and support publicly and in a court of justice the pre- tended discoveries which they had made, Having severely ani- madverted on the character of the witnesses employed by H.
Field, the detective, and shown how little reliance could be placed on their testimony, Sir Frederick warned the jury of the dangerous consequences to society of giving encouragement to that system of espionage by the verdict they pronounced. It was only by being assured of success that these parties ventured upon so dangerous a scheme. He earnestly implored them to guard not only the interests of the defendant, but of society, in this matter.
They were not called upon to pronounce an opi- nion on the guilt of parties who had been called as witnesses for the prosecution. It was the defendant alone that was inte- rested in the result of the inquiry. He was deprived of his best witnesses by an act of Providence, and was encompassed with other difficulties in eliciting the truth. He stood before them iu this terrible ordeal, but yet he was prepared to go through the fiery trial with only such evidence as God had left him, and the circumstances of the case permitted him to adduce. Mr Robinson had no hand in her engagement to marry Mr Evans.
Her father died on the W th of this present month, and her mother on the same day. Her father gave evidence in the Arches' Court, and was to have appeared on this trial. Mrs Evans was examined, and cross- examined at great length, and with reference to a large number of minute circumstances of time and place. She steadfastly denied that there had been at any time improper relations between herself and the defendant, and gave a positive contradiction to many of the allegations of the witnesses on the other side, which were relied on as presumptive proof of the defendant's criminality.
The defendant was indicted for that he committed wilful and corrupt perjury when ex- amined as a witness in the Ecclesiastical Court in a divorce suit brought by Mr Evans against his wife. There were various assignments of perjury, separate and independent, which would require their special attention, and he would ask their opinion severally on the main questions on which their verdict would ultimately depend.
Those ques- tions, which he had reduced to writing, were these: Lastly, did the defendant attempt to tamper with Mrs King, as a witness, in August, , before the first trial, as stated by her? It would be for the jury to answer these questions of fact. The jury re- tired, aad after many hours' consideration, carae into court and said: My Lord, we cannot agree in the affirmative on any one of the six questions submitted to us. On the general question, whether the verdict shall be for the Crown or the de- fendant, we are about equally divided, and there is little or no probability of our agreeing.
Under these circumstances I, ef my own authority discharge the jury. Waszkowski, who represented himself to be a Polish prince, but who is stated by Captsin Szuloweski, of the Polish Association, not to be a Pole at all. In the same house there resided the Count de Waszkowski, who gave himself out as the son of Prince Wittgenstein.
He was 28 years old. This Polish nobleman calls himself a professor of science and languages, but in reality he lives by " taking on with ladies according to his own admission. When he has done with one lady he takes on with another. Ha was engaged to be married to the plaintiff in " Swynfen v Swynfen ;"— that was broken off. Then he proposed for Miss Romsey, then for her sister, and it would appear for many ladies besides. In fact, the count got his living by this sort of thiiig.
The manner in which he iopened the trenches upon Miss Jones was as follows: Miss Jones resolved, if possible, to put an end to the annoyance by seeing the de- fendant, and remonstrating with him upoii his conduct. The result of the interview was, that the lady, who had sought the interview to ohide, remained to console the defendant, and, after a time, they were engaged. As soon as the engagement was entered into, or shortly after — it was very strange— the Count's remittances ceased to arrive with their fore- accustomed regularity. In return for this he gave her his note of hand; but, ignorant as he was of eur laws and customs, he drew it upon a penny stamp.
When the ques- tion of settlements came to he discussed, the lady insisted that all her money should be settled upon herself, to wilich the de- fendant objected, and so the marriage was broken off. When the rupture was final and complete the lady wished that the sum of money which she had lent to the plaintiff should be returned to her ; but this he was unable or unwilling to do, and so the action arose. The defendant pleaded a set- off, the particulars of which ineluded some curious items.
In the first place, we find that the Count de Waszkowski was not attired in such a manner as gave satisfaction to the lady. Above all things, on that day which was to be the happiest of their lives, she wished him to look well. Again, and before the transaction connected with the wedding suit, the Count had— equally at the plaintiff's request— provided himself with clothes from Messrs. This guitar, as he him- self stated, he had bought in Clerkenwell. I refuse to say what I have done with it, and I don't moan to tell. A little lower down in the particulars of set- off there is a charge which is somewhat remarkable.
When he was put into the witness- box and examined, it appeared by his own confession that he made a trade of thi3 kind of pursuit. Will people ever take warning by exposures of this description? Is it possible that ladies of a certain position in the world, and who may therefore be supposed to have seen something of its ways, should suffer themselves to become the laughing- stocks and dupes of men who were probably cooks or couriers— if anything so honest— in their own countries?
It might have been hoped that the increasing habit of foreign travel would have done something in amendment of this form of folly. A very short run upon the Continent, or a mere smatter- ing sort of acquaintance with Continental life, might teach our English ladies that foreign titles— even when genuine— are a very insufficient proof of respectability.
The best advice we can give our fair countrywomen for the future, when they come across one of these interesting refugees, is to keep him at arm's length until they have ascertained from one of his own country- men of acknowledged respectability the history of their new friend and his character. Mr Edwin James and Mr J. Russell were counsel for the plaintiff; Mr Huddleston and Mr Watkin Williams appeared for the defendant.
This was an siction to recover the price of a horse. The plaintiff, Mr T. Richmond, is a gentleman of fortune, residing at Guilsborough Hall, Northamptonshire, and is also agent to Lord Stamford and Warrington. The defendant is a horsedealer at Oxford. The horso, the subject of the diS' pute, was a fine black horse, about seven years old, which the plaintiff had purchased for guineas about two years ago.
He busted him for two seasons with the Pytchley Hunt, but finding that he pulled too much he determined to sell him. This came to the defendant's ears, and he went over to Guils- borough on the 2d of August to see the plaintiff; he was not at home, but his groom showed tha horse, and rode him about, The defendant remarked he thought he heard a little noise.
The groom said he must be mistaken, and advised him to gallop up the hill. He galloped the horse for about a quarter of an hour, aud after that test appeared quite satisfied. On the 3d he wrote to the plaintiff: I could not do with a hunter pulliiig so much; at the same time he is a " selling horse. I sell him only because he pulls more than I like. On the 9th the defendant wrote: I" shown him to- day, and have ridden him myself.
There is no doubt he makes too much noige ; in fact, he is a roarer, or soon will be. He will not lose one farthing, but he must go to the hammer. The plaintiff was examined to prove these facts. He stated that the horse was fully up to 18 stone. He never warranted a horse. He never heard any noise in the horse's throat, and did not know that he was a " whistler" or a " roarer. Kirk, the plaintiff's head groom, stated that when the defendant came to look at the horse he told him he was a puller. He galloped the horse.
Defendant said he thought there was a noise. He said he did not know there was. Defendant then mounted, took the horse to the bottom of the park, and galloped him up the hill. He then said he did not hear aay noise. He had been in Mr Richmond's service three mosths, and knew of no defect in the horse except his pulling. He gave no warranty. Mr Riehmond told him never to do so.
Defendant had every opportunity of trying the horse, and at last said he would take him. Mr Richmond kept eight horses and thrae grooms. He usually exercised the horses. He did not tell the defendant, " I have just fed him and watered him, but he is sold to you as a sound one if you buy him; we have had him about two years.

Defendant said something about the horse's wind. He replied that he had never known any- thing wrong about the horse, and never saw him unsound. He never heard the horse make a noise. He did breathe a little hard. When he went slow he puffed a little in fighting with his bridle. He never made any noise.
He went to Guilsborough in August to look at the horse. Before that Mr Richmond had several times mentioned the horse to him, He saw the groom. The horse was in a box. The groom said he could show the horse, and ali but sell him, but not complete the bargain, as he did not know the price. He said the horse was all right. The horse was brought out, andr the groom trotted him about. He heard a slight noise when the horse stopped, and remarked it to the groom.
His answer was that the horse was not in a fit state to ride, he had just been fed and watered. He then mounted and rode a little; he got off with the impression that there was a little noise. The groom again said he was perfectly sound and an excel- lent winded horse. The groom brought the horse to Oxford on the 7tb, and again repeated that the horse was all right; that he was perfectly sound, and he should leave him as a sound horse.
He took the precaution to have his servant present. The horse was examined a day or two after by a veterinary sur- geon, who pronounced him unsound.
According to the defendant's account the whole dealing had been a continuous transaction from the first conversation at Warwick, and a warranty had been givenJby Mr Richmond; but it was clear the groom had no authority to warrant.

Roederer, whilst Baron Daru's stable is just worthy of mention as being or some promise fornext year. Mr Schickler's success does not appear very great at present, but for a first aapearance is not to be despised, and the stable must eventually come to the front for good blood will never be denied.
Parr and Mr W. Craven on the list; and finally Mr H. Jennings, of Lamlorlaye, appears a good winner through a fortunate " claim" from Mr T. Carter, whose great stable can count but three small prizes throughout the year. The principal wianiag horse in Fraace of the year is the Derby victor, Potocki, who cleared his four spring engagements, and aever won a race afterwards.
Mdlle de Chantilly is the next successful, and outstrips her stable com- panion Monarque oa the list ia the order named; but, taking into coasideration the value of the Goodwood Cup, the old horse is most deservedly and absolutely the greatest winner of the year. Fiona, Sylvaui, Dachess, Thea, Last Born, aad Wergiss- meia- Nicht, represeat the remaiader of the successfal three year olds, and are very good specimens; but, ia conjunction with Potocki and Mdlle de Chaatilly tVieir ruaaing has beea too " ia aad oat" to admit of auy comparison as to their relative merits— stoaes," not pounds, being the t ifiing difference upon various occasions.
