The Overland Mail, which left Bombay on the 17th has brought fnll particulars of the decisive victory achieved 0er the Sikhs on the 2 1st of February last, a brief announcement of which arrived by the last mail. The official despatches of Lord Gough communicate the detail of one of the most satisfactory engagements ever fought in India. The war in the Puniaub is at length terminated, and our future labours in that province will be concerned with the pacific repairs of the mischief which hi- otrvn uuue. nui rc uur vuiHrraiuueuuus upon LUIS fortunate result alloyed by any reflection on the price it ha cost us. This time, at least, the work has been well i none, nor are onr congratulations upon tins done, and a smaller loss tnan nas been previously Buttered jo detecting an ambuscade was here sufficient to secure a conclusive victory.

Lord Gcroitb's army, which amounted to nearly 25,000 men with 100 guns, encamped on the 20th, in order of battle, within four miles of the enemy, whose force was eetirnated at 60,000 men, with 60 guns, under the command of Sirdar Cbuttur Singh and Rajah Bhere Singh, with a ooJt of 1500 Affgban horse, led by Akram Khan, son of the Ameer Dost Mahomed Khan. They occupied the jp-oand around the village of Goojerat, in a position as well chosen as the nature of the country permitted. Tbe rooming of the 21st of February found the several divisions of the army of the Punjaub concentrated in line of bttle, and some remark is due to the coincidence of etenu Bj wnien all tbe parties and persons in this san- pjinarj bad been collected to participate in its duing scene. On tbe left of the line stood the regiments from jnooKan me Bombay rusuiers, who bad led the eolomns to the storm, and the 60th Rifles, who bid crowned the breach. To their right lay the sufferers 0f Ctjiilianwallab, the 24th Foot and the 25th Native infantry, again brigaded together, and ready with their diminished numbers to aid the work of retribution.

The line was continued by the 56th, which had lost in the rtnie field the trophies of Gwalior the 70th, which had recaptured and restored these Mahratta spoils to their comrades in arms tbe 29th Foot, which bad left a fourth of its numbers before the batteries of Moonir and thp 2nH Kuropeans, which had so intrepidly fought its way out of iue jungie at kussooi. he extreme right was occupied by tbe regiment which bad been the first to march from Lubore to Mooltan the 10th Foot, under Colonel Franks; at. behind them were brigaded in reserve tbe cavalry of Ramnugcur. With a mixture of sentiments which it will not difficult to conjecture, this assembled force arose from its bivouac, with a fair field before it and the enemy in view, to fight tbe battle of Goojerat. The action which ensued admits of a more particular ar.J authentic description than can be usually given of such transactions.

Goojerat, a town of moderate size, a fort of inconsiderable strength, stands on tbe left bank of the river Dhwara, a tributary of the Chenab, but no scantily and partially supplied that its channel, hich on the present occasion happened to be dry, is described tt a bimple nullah in the despatches from the spot. Between the town and this nullah, which protected ibiir ripht, tbe enemy was posted, having taken ad van-lac also of another watercourse to strengthen his left. Tiiree miles of ground, offering no serious obstruction to the operations of any arms, intervened between these two BiiUsliS. aud it was here that the attack was to be made. however, the dispositions for the battle were admirably carried out by the officers engaged, yet the day virtually won before the line advanced to close action.

Fortunately the superiority of artillery, as regarded both the number and weight of guns, rested, for once, with ourse'vef; and when the Commander-in-Chief, with that prudence which bitter experience had at last taught him, ordered tbe guns to the front, his directions were obeyed by tbe simultaneous opening of a hundred pieces of etMon. Tiie cannonade," says Lord Gough, was the most magnificent I ever witnessed, and as terrible in effects." The Sikh artillery, though placed and served itb characteristic ability, was unable to maintain itself Kjainst so destructive a fire, and after an hour's tremendous csnnonading relinquished the conflict. Upon this the infantrv brigades were brought into action but it was goon found that the spirit of the Sikh army had been silenced with its guns, and that little remained but to convert a defeat into a rout. At two points only was any serious resistance encountered. The 2nd (General Colbert "s) division, coming upon a fortified post in tbe suburbs of Goojerat, found a bodv of Sikhs ensconced ucuiuu iuujucl, have made familiar.

Tbe 2d Europeans, however, were t.romptlv brought up to close quarters with their old antagonists, and after a struggle of some severity expelled them from their position. A similar incident occurred in the advance of the 1st division, the resistance being put down witb equal promptitude by detachments from Hervey's brigade. After this the engagement was resolved into tbe ordinary events of flight and pursuit, and no more seen of Sikh battalions in position or under arms. Tut ord division, though in the centre of the line, had not occasion to discharge a musket. I'endins tL-se passages in the front our flanks were perpetually threatened by the enemyrs cavalry, an arm in LicL te possessed great numerical superiority.

The probability of such a contingency had not bean overlooked, and our own cavalry, well supported by horse artillery and hfh: firid batteries, were distributed between tbe "right end left rlnts accordingly. Excepting, however, a charge of the 9th Lancers in company with the Sciiid Uiir- for even this splendid corps had been Uougiii from tbe backs of tbe Indus to share in the ry uf Guoj -rat jndicious manoeuvres and well directed cannon -bot were found sufficient to thwart all the i dcoour-trations. nor were our dragoons favoured with any opportunities, but those afforded by the pursuit, of tsiinc outstanding scores. But in thus recording the aud completeness with which the battle was won, v- ire not to overlook the conduct of those who won ll vas, indeed, tbe achievement of the artillery, but ltd not the artillery been commanded and served with judgment and intrepidity the achievement could never bave been performed. The gunners not only d.i tie work of tbe battle, but they bore the brunt of it.

Tl enemy's tire, during the period of its duration, was ettremely hot, and it was under this incessant storm of bullett that our light batteries were brought up to within hundred yards of the Sikh guns, and that our heavy Impounders were manoeuvred with the precision and promptitude of horse artillery. One circumstance attending the action i tbe extraordinary proportion borne by the numbers uf tbe wounded to those of tbe killed tbe former being swelled by accidents subsequently to the bittle, sristug out of the practice of the Sikh artillery-men to their tumbrils and magazines after an action. Tue British army has to lament 5 officers and 92 men killed, and 24 officers and C82 men wounded. Of the 0 guns which the Sikhs brought into action, 53 were captured, witb an enormous amount of ammunition, and the re: have, doubtless, been since taken by the corps detached in ursuit. Lord Gough was, as usual, in the thickest of the fight, atiJ at one time was in considerable personal danger, in consequence of a body of the Ghorcurras cavalry, composed of picked Sikhs, bearing down upon the gallant chief and his staff.

They were repulsed by his Lordship's escort of cavalry, but several of his attendants received sabre sounds, and were engaged hand to hand with the enemy. Lieutenant Stannus, who commanded the escort, was dangerously wounded, and Mr. Cocks, the Chief Assistant ro.itica. Resident at Lahore, riding beside Lord Gough, if, as the despatch states, seriously wounded," and had bis horse killed under him whilst engaged in single combat with a Sikh assailant, whom he disarmed and slew. On tbe day after the action General Gilbert, with a force of men, was despatched towards tbe Jhelum, to fceize and occupy Rbotas, Attock, Peshawur, and the whole frontier up to the passes of Afghanistan He crossed the helum on the 28th, and took possession of the town of that name, with some mortars and ammunition which bad been abandoned by the retreating army on that day.

Tbe advices from General Gilbert's corps reach to the Jnd of March, at which date they had been compelled to halt on their advance to Rbotas by the extreme oi uie weather. A report had. however, been received that be bad taken possession of Riiotas. A MqfntulUc extra of tbe 10th, states that Sir. W.

(j.iben, after taking possession of the fort of Rbotas (bere it was apprehended tbe Sikh force might make a Kandj bad marched on and siezed the Bukreealah Pass. Juu defile was reported to be strongly occupied by Abutter Mngh, witb a formidable body of Sikhs, and eral guns but on the approach of Gen. Gilbert the courage of the Sikhs failed them, for there can be little oouot from the way in which the success is announced. ma tlie pass was secured without any fighting. Major Laurence, who acts as mediator between bis captors and the lintish, has had an interview, since the ua ue, witu discomfited insurgents.

The Sikh chiefs, father and son, were sitting, utterly broken down in spirits, under a miserable tent, resembling rather gypsies than generals, attended by about 8,000 fugitives, without artillery, or ammunition, and to a great extent t'eu uiihout arms. These relics of "the Khalsa" were ready to disperse at tbe first signal as soon as the terms of turreiider could be negociated by their chiefs, and this it wai expected would speedily be effected by the uncon-4 ual acceptance of tbe proposals offered by the British commander. The Sikhs bad twice attempted a modification of these proposals, but in vain, and little doubt was entertained but that they would presently surrender at oWretiod. In this case it is not the intention of the 'ernment to visit their misdeeds upon them with any rigorous severity. An honourable surveillance, accompanied by no illiberal means for the maintenance of their rank, comprehends the measure of retribution as at prcent contemplated and few will be found to assert that less has been deserved.

But the campaign which they pr. voted has itself conveyed no inconsiderable chastisement to themselves and their people. The rout of Goojerat was a fatal day for the Sikh battalions. Little is aid, it may have been observed, about the prisoners taken on tbe field, aud but few, we fear, were made. Though the British troops were not likely to reflect upon the unjustifiable treachery iu which the war had origi nated, yet it was impossible to expect that the wounds of Chilhanwallah should have been healed, and the spirit thus rankling in their breasts was further aggravated by the conduct of their enemies.

Prisoners were repeatedly found to turn upon their captors after surrender, and one particular example, in which an officer of dragoons was fekd by a Sikh wfegte life he himself had med, so Walsingham, Carson Welis.l Tyzack Wereham, James Tingey Woodhridge, J.

The complicity of the Court of Cabul in the designs of uocu at iciiKlu uuueniaDiy demonstrated by the actual presence and participation of one of the Ameer's sons in the last battle. From 1500 to 2000 Affgban horse, under Akram Khan, formed the right of the enemy's line at Goojerat. This detachment of troopers, however, represents the whole of the substantial assistance which the insurgent chiefs have received from Cabul. Gholab Singh it was reported had fallen by the hand of an assassiu. It was related at the despatch of the mail, that application bad been made to the Rajpoot Chief for the supply of some portion of his untouched resources in aio oi tnose wno were, at least by community of govern ifFip ent and interests, his fellow-countrymen and friends hlf1 refaeV bui own possessions he was instantly murdered, and thus at length shared the fate wuicn ne naa oeen so oiten instrumental in inflicting.

The principal objects of the asmpaigu being now achieved, it was expected that the main army under Lord Gougb would soon retire into quarters. On the 3rd of March, Lord Gough reviewed and inspected the whole of the troops. Permission to return to their appointments has been already given to several staff officers. It was said that Lord Gough had sent in his resignation. No decision had, it was understood, been arrived at as to the annexation of tbe Punjaub.

India generally was tranquil and contented. Scinde was free from any apprehension either of rebellion or foreign attack, and the garrison left at Mooltan remained unmolested. CANADA. The Canadian accounts are very important. The Indemnity Bill passed the Upper House on the Uth ult.

by a majority of four votes. The opposition was exceedingly great, and on their defeat the minority entered a protest against the measure. On the 22d ult. a riot broke out in Toronto, and effigies of three of the supporters of the ministerial measure were burned in the streets. The house of Mrs.

M'Intosb, where Mr. Mackenzie was stopping, where his effigy was burned, was assailed with stones and all manner of missiles, completely riddling the windows. The gas-lights in the vicinity were put out, and tbe police resisted. Several other houses we're attacked. To check these ebullitions, tbe authorities caused a number of special constables to be enrolled, and the troops were ordered to parade the streets.

An unfounded rumour that riots had likewise broken out at St. Catherine's caused additional excitement, and encouraged the rioters. Throughout the province numerous meetings had been hel to take measures for preventing the ratification of the measures. To such a height of personality had the opposition reached, that his Excellency the Governor-General is said to have been insulted at a concert. A report was prevalent that the Governor-General would leave the assent to the Indemnity Bill entirely to Uer Majesty.

The American papers state that an armed expedition to Canada was organizing. SICILY. The beautiful city of Catania was cantu red on the 7th instant, after two days and three niehts' desDerato resist ance of both sea and land forces, in which thousands of me peacetui inhabitants were destroyed by fire and sv ord, and the noble and splendid palaces, buildings, and streets, were reduced to a heap of smoking ruins, the Neapolitans and Swiss sustaining a Joss of 800 officers and men killed. The details of the operations of the forces of the King of Naples, under Filangieri, are of the most revolting description. Wrecked villages and smoking houses marked the route of Neapolitans and Swiss for miles along the line of march on the coast but this ferocious indication of what the insurgents had to expect does not appear to have daunted them, for they ardently rushed on the invaders, and only retreated when borne down by numbers, at the same time disputing every inch of ground as they fell back with desperate valour.

On they came, however, firing the houses as they advanced, burning those within, and killing those without. About four p.m., when they reached the main street, which is more than a mile long, they advanced, sweeping it with their field pieces, pouring in vollies of musketry at the windows and doorways, and firing the houses until the whole of the principal street was on fire, i uau-aa, seven, wnen all further resistance had ceased, the cathedral, the university, the hospital, and most of the palaces and public buildings, in fact me tnj ui iBiauia was in names Tho nioht nf thn. a uiouujr ubj, ma cuuuagraiion continuing with some dropping shots of musketry during the night. On the following day the city was given up to -1 oc u. uu me uorrors oi a bloody day, the connagra ti on ana piunoer, violation, ana murder reigned uncontrolled.

Private letters of the 10th, however, from Palermo, state that on the 7th inst. the Commander Capronica and General Mieroslawski, having assembled some forces, marche on Catania, and recovered it from the Neapolitans, of whom 7000 are said to have been cut to pieces. ITALY. Genoa, April 13. Genoa is restored to order, and with the promise of enjoying a tranquillity unknown here for many months past.

All the barricades have been removed, and workmen are employed in repaying the streets. All, except the rebel party, seem delighted with their emancipation from anarchy, and the more respectable portion of the inhabitants feel and express themselves deeply grateful for the courage, discretion, and untiring exertions of Lord Hardwicke, in effecting an arrangement. But for the decision and judgment he manifested, Genoa would, in all probability, have been at this moment a ruined and pillaged city. The twelve rebel leaders have been permitted to escape. Parma has been entered by the Austrians in the name of tbe reigning Duke and the citizens of Florence, weary of the exactions of the Provisional Government, have dissolved the Assembly, imprisoned Guerrazzi in his house, and sent a deputation to Gaeta to solicit the Grand Duke to return to bis capital.

Private letters from Bologna announce that the celebrated composer Rossini has become insane, in consequence of a furious attack made upon him by the Ultra-Republicans of that city, by which his life was endangered. ROME. The long-expected intervention of France in favour of the Pope has been decided on by the French Government, and an expedition of 14,000 men, commanded by General Ouditiot has already embarked at Toulon for Civita Vecchia. This expedition, according to the statements of the French Minister, has been forced upon them by the recent events in northern and central Italy and it is understoood that it has been undertaken in concert with Austria, who will at the same time concentrate a powerful force on the northern frontier of the Papal States. While Austria will thus be ready to enter Romagna at a moment's notice, the French tooops will remain with their ships in the harbour of Civita Vecchia, both Powers having agreed to abstain from any invasion of the Papal territory until a formal demand for their assistance shall be made by tbe Pope himself.

AUSTRIA. From Hungary we have the details of fresh disasters sustained by the Imperial army, the incapacity of whose generals has all but lost Hungary to the Austrian Crown. The whole of Upper Hungary and of Transylvania is now in possession of the Magyars, who, after pressing back the Austrian centre to the very walls of Pesth, succeeded on the 12th instant in taking Waitzen by storm tbe town at which the left wing of the retiring Austrian was posted. Nothing, therefore, remained for Prince Windischgratz but to cross the Danube and retire to Ofen, where he remained at the date of the last advices. From the fortress of that city he has it in his power to bombard Pesth, and it is only to save their town from that disaster that the Hungarians bave abstained from occuping it.

A portion of their army, however, which bad taken Waitzen, have crossed the Danube below Pestb, with tbe intention of intercepting tbe communication between Ofen and Pres- burg, a movement which will probably compel rince Windischgratz to retire to Raab, unless some speedy and effectually measures be takeu by the Austrian Government to recover a position which nothing but mismanagement or incompetency could have lost. A letter from Vienna of April 15 'states that Field-Marshal Windischgratz bas been invited by an Imperial note to go to Olmiitz and General Welden has accepted the command in Hungary. GERMANY. The Plenipotentiaries of tbe minor States and the free towns of Germany sent to Frankfort at the request of Prussia, in the circular despatch of the 3d of April, have joined in a collective note to the Plenipotentiaries of the Prussian Government it contains tbe decision, as to the (iertnan question, of the following States Baden, Hesse-Darmstadt, Hesse, Oldenburg, Mecklenburg, Holstein, Lauenburg, Anhalt- Bernburg, Dessau, Brunswick, Saxe-Weiroar, Allenburg, Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, Meinengen, Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt, Sondershausen, Rcuss, Uohen-zollern, Waldeck, Hamburg, Bremen, Lubeck, and Frankfort. After an introduction, stating that they have assembled in consequence of the Prussian note of the above date, they proceed to sav Convinced that the welfare of the common fatherland can be found only in the creation of a powerful federation, and that to this end sacrifices must be made by individual States, the undersigned do not hesitate in the name of their respective Governments to declare their full concurrence with the election made by the National Assembly, and to adopt the new Constitution." At the sitting of the National Assembly on the 19th a note by M.

Camphausen was read, stating that as several German States had not yet given their adhesion to the resolution of the National Assembly, the King of Prnsaia will wait till they bave announced their determination. SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN. From Schleswig we have intelligence of the storming of the Danish intrenchments at Duppel, on the 13th, by the Saxon and Bavarian troops, with great loss on both sides The Germans return their loss in killed as 100 the number of wounded is not stated. The Danes are estimated to have lost 3000 men on the field, wounded and prisoners not reckoned. On the following day, the Danes attempted to regain Duppel, but, after another engagement of severe! bourii were obliged, to retreat, FRANCE.

The division existing in the Bonapartist party is, unhappily, becoming wider each day. There are, as is well known, two committees sitting in different quarters of the capital, having apparently a common object that of securing the elections in favour of the friends of the President of the Republic. One is presided over by General Bacheler, the other by General Piat. Tbe former is termed the Central Bonapartist Committee the latter the Committee of the rue Montmartre. Though the avowed object is the same, and though both profess the greatest zeal and attachment to the President of the Republic, yet they strive to attain it by different means, and if their dissension is permitted to continue, it will not fail to inflict serious injury on the person whose interests they profess to serve.

The object of the first-mentioned Electoral Committee, as avowed by themselves, is respect for the Constitution, attachment to Louis Napoleon, the fulfilment of his manifesto, and the reduction of taxes. There is, however, another point they aim at, though it is not expressed, and that is tbe modification of the 45th article of tbe Constitution, which says, The President of the Republic is elected for four years, and cannot be re-elected except after an interval of four years." Tbeir utmost views extend to the point of rendering LoUi. Napoleon eligible to the chair of President immediately on the termination of the period allotted to him by the Constitution i and they even believe that, in order to prevent the confusion, aud rarhana ha i i elections every four yean, the people will petition that be should be elected President or Consul for fife. 8uch is the limit to which the ambition of tbe Bacheler Committee extend. The ideas of the body which has 8.

tor chief are, it is behaved, of a more lofty character, i hey aim, it is said, at nothing lees than tbe re-establishment of the Empire. The two vice-presidents of the committee are orderly officers to the President of the Republic himself. Nor is it alone amongst the friends of the President of the Republic that dissension would appear to exist unfortunately, certain members of his family seem to act as if they were disposed to increase the difficulties of bis rlerre Bonaparte, who bas inherited more than the Republicanism, and perhaps more than the personal ambition of his father, has long since thrown himself into the arms of the Red Republicans but it is probable that more evil will result from the indiscretion of Napoleon the son of Jerome. He is described as a person possessing' much ambition his talents are said to be remarkable, and his powers of persuasion, facility of language, and a certain originality of ideas, not to speak of his extraordinary resemblance in person and manner to his uncle the Emperor, might, if his judgment were on a par with his more showy qualities, render him a rival of rather a formidable kind. A letter has been addressed by tho President of the Republic to his cousin, in which he says ia iS pretended thatJ in passing through Bordeaux, you held language of a nature to sow division among the best-intentioned persons.

You are rennrted tn hv aniH that overruled by the chiefs of the reactionary movement, I did not act freely upon my inspirations that, impatient of the yoke, I was ready to throw it off and that, in order to assist me to do so, it was necessary, at the approaching elections, to send to the Chamber men hostile to mv Orovernment rather than men of the moderate party." fcucn an imputation from you may well astonish me. It was for you, less than any other person, to blame in me a moderate policy you, who disapproved of my manifesto, because it had not the entire sanction of tbe chiefs of the moderate party. To bring closer to each other all the old parties, to unite, to reconcile them, is the object of ray efforts. This is the mission attached to the great name which we bear it would fail if it were to tend to divide instead of rallying together, the supporters of the Government. For these reasons, I cannot approve of your becoming a candidate in 20 departments reflect that, under the shadow of your name, it may be attempted to mo Assemuiy candidates hostile to the Govern ment, and to discourage its devoted partisans by fatiguing I the people with the frequent elections which this cour i would necessitate.

Free from all moral nnnstraint pursue the path of honour, with conscience for my guide and when I shall relinquish power, if I may be reproached with faults which were fatally inevitable, I shall at least have performed what I sincerely believed to be my duty Tunes Correspondent. M. Guizot has issued an address to the electors of Calvados, in reference to their intention of bringing him forward as a candidate at the ensuing election. This document forms the topic of conversation in all circles. It is universally admitted to be written with considerable talent, bnt it aoes not appear to satisfy his friends.

M. uuizot recommends a union between the Bonapartist. Legitimists, and Orleanists, without reference to past differences, or even future policy. They are to look at present to the saving of society, which is yet in danger As soon as order shall be established, it will then be time enough to thiuk of what ought to be done with a view to the future. DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE.

It is now understood that Mr. John Abel Smith, M.P. for Chichester, will succeed Mr. Ward, as Secretary to the Admiralty. Mr.

R. Bromley, was on Tuesday returned without opposition for South Nottinghamshire, in the place of Col. Rolleston. He declared himself to be a Protectionist Conservative. In the Court of Chancery, on Friday, the Lord Chancellor gave judgment in the matter of the application to supersede the commission of lunacy in the case of Mr.

Dyce Sombre. His Lordship condemned the conduct of the parties who originated tbe application, and said that if he had the means of making them pay the costs he would dismiss it with costs. Mr. Dyce Sombre must not suppose that the door of tbe court wa3 shut against him because this petition was dismissed. Any application he might yet make should be carefully attended to, and as soon as it can safely be done the commission would be superseded.

Its only operation at present was to protect the capital of his property, the whole surplus income being ordered to be paid to him and if there was any irregularity in the payments, any aplication from him in that matter would be attended to. These proceedings have produced such an expenditure, that it might be a question whether his Lordship had not gone too far in ordering the whole surplus income to be paid to him. When he found a contract by which 10,000. was to be paid to Dr. Mahon on the success of the supersedeas, and 2000.

and more already paid over on failure, he could not but doubt whether he ought not to establish a more rigid superintendence over the application of his income. Ho hoped he should not find any reason hereafter for so doing. At all events he would advise Mr. D. Sombre to act under the ad vice of his professional advisers, and none could more effectually serve bim than those who now acted for him professionally.

If be confided in such men he would be sure to obtain all that, under the circumstances, it would be possible for him to obtain in a shorter time, and at an expense far less than would be incurred if he continued to resort to those persons to whom be appeared hitherto to trust the management of his affairs. The Robbery Coins at the British Museum. On Tuesday last, Timoleon Vlasto was again examined at Bow 'Street. Several more coins found in the prisoner's possession were identified by Mr. Doubleday, and General Fox identified a great many as having been stolen from bis cabinet, to which the prisoner had access.

It was stated that the prisoner was the son of the late Count Vlasto, attached to the Turkish dipolomatic corps. He was remanded for another week. Marriage of Jenny Lind at Bath. Tkis event (respecting which there bave been so many conjectures and so many rumours) we are informed, on the best authority, took place last week and with such privacy was tbe ceremony conducted that many of our readers will be surprised to learn that the marriage of tbe Swedish nightingale was performed, by special licence, on Thursday week, at the residence of the bridegroom's family, No. 40, Great Pulteney -street, Bath.

Such, however, is the fact. Jenny Lind is married married in Bath to a native of Bath and henceforth, we understand, she will retire into tbe privacy of domestic life she will become one of our residents, and will Shed over the circle in which she moves those graces which have made her such an idol with the public. Mr. Harris is tbe son of the late Mr. Harris, of 40, Great Pulteney-street, Bath, and is, we understand, related to the Bishop of Norwich.

His early educational studies were pursued at Grosvenor College, in bis native eity, where be greatly distinguished himself as a classical and mathematical scholar. His engagement with Mdlle. Lind bas led to her retirement from tbe stage. Bath Looker-on of Tuesday. An authorized contradiction of this statement bas since appeared.

Milton's Autograph. At a sale of autograph letters on Friday, in London, a small volume of Rosse's poems, containing a few lines of poetry commendatory of the book, signed J. in tbe handwriting of the poet Milton, sold for 18. os. Execution of Sarah Harriet Thomas.

The wretched criminal Sarah Harriet Thomas underwent the sentence of the law at 10 o'clock on Friday morning. She resisted all the time, and shrieked in a dreadful manner. The following is her confession of the circumstances of the murder, signed by her own hand Two days before the murder was committed Miss Jefferies called ine up to her bedroom, and attempted to strike me. She also locked me in the kitchen during the whole of the night. Ac 5 o'clock in the morning she unbolted the door and told me to make a fire in her room.

I thought then to have struck her, but did not do so. On the following night I slept in her room, but did not contemplate murdering her till between 5 and 6 o'clock in the morning, when I got up, went down stairs, and returned with a stone, with which, whilst Miss Jefferies was asleep, I struck her on the head three times. Between the second and third blow she made some sort of a noise, and the last words 1 heard her say were, Christ God I then dressed myself, robbed the house, flung the dog down the privy, locked up the house, and went home. I committed tbe murder and robbed the house with my cwn hands, and no one else had anything to do with it neither did I mention having done so to to any person. I regret exceedingly having committed so horrid a crime, and I pray to the Almighty God for forgiveness.

I never should have committed so dreadful a crime had Miss Jefferies's conduct been less provoking. After Miss Jefferies had died I remained in the room for more than an hour. I then went home, and did not return till about 9 o'clock in the evening, when I went for two boxes, but did not go into mistress's room. On leaving the house I saw a strange man standing opposite, who carried my boxes as far as the Infirmary, for which I gave bin W. 1 then took a fly and, went hm," BUTTER MARKET, EDMUND'S.
