T.. 41...........Muna55a. Ho. LONDON, TUESDAY. DECEMBER 16. YasvERD ‘v we placed beforeourreaders the Message of the President of the United states. The three i lead ing topics upon which Mr. Ft Lofton expatiates would be important at any time, but with a Presidential eke tins impending, our anxiety to learn the views enter tained regarding them by one who is only in his first term of office, is necessarily augmented. They are the hate Cuban expeditions and the principles of inter national law and policy which bear upon them; the commerce of the United States, their tariff, and the question of free or restricted trade; and the actual position of the negro slavery controversy in the Union. On all these points we have endeavoured to pierce through the mist of words which the cloud compelling 11:PfTER of the great Transatlantic re public has spread around his thoughts. And the result is as follows The general principles enunciated by the l'ltEst- DENT, on the subject of intervention in the domestic affairs of one state by another, or by private citizens of the latter, and their practical application to the Cuban foray, are eminently satisfactory. Mr. FILL MORE unequivocally and uncompromisingly declares his adherents: to the principles of WAstievErox and other distinguished founders of the republic. He condemns the conduct of the American citizens who invaded Cuba with LOPEZ • he brands with honour able indignation the con duct of those stockjobbing adventurers by whom the expedition was got up ; he shows that he has taken prompt measures to vindi cate the majesty of the laws—municipal and inter national--which have been violated. At the same time he 'winds out that lie has not been neglectful of the dictates of humanity, or of the duty incumbent on him, to assert the dignity and independence of his nation. Ile makes a distinction between thc specu lating achemers who got up the expedition and the billy boys who were misled by them; and explains the steps lie has taken to intercede for the latter. Ile states that France and England having intimated the measun s they had taken to prevent the recurrence of such outrages, he lust no time in insisting upon these measures being so modified as to prevent any aggressions on American commerce. Throughout the whole affair his conduct appears to have been that of a wise and wary statesman, anxious that his _ country should do full justice to other nations with out compromising its own rights and dignity. His conduct in regard to the attack upon the Spanish consul at New Orleans, and the opinions he expresses regarding it, ore entitled to the sante praise. And the unostentatious but uncompromising manner in which Mr. EILLwoRE has acted and spoken in these I transactions is the more deserving of admiratioß that some of his rivals in the Presidential canvass have been attempting,—oceasionally with success, — to turn what he has said and.done to his disad vantage. We regret that we cannot speak with the same un qualified admiration of the Pity:son:N . l's remarks on the state of American commerce and free-trade. The high-spirited nutimer in which he has evinced his views of what America owes to the independence of other nations entitles him to ask credit for being equally frank and sincere on the subject of national economy. But if, on the one hand, we are to admit his sin cerity, we mast on the other admit that with re ferent*, to questions of this kind he is wofully puzzle-headed. Ile states that last year's export of ! brand-stuffs and articles of food from the Union was of less value than that of the previous year, and that again of less value than that of the year which pre ceded it. And from these facts lie infers that the ex pectations entertained by free-traders of an aug mented commene in consequence of the repeal of the English corn laws have been disappointed, although in the same breath he states that the first of the three years was a year of famine in Europe, and that in the course of the other two years the harvests of Europe have been returning to their normal state. Mr. FILL MORE will not pretend to say that the free-traders among his countrymen expected to export as much food to Europe in years when there were gond harvests there, es in years when the crops had failed. Mr. Fit.t.moßE ought to compare the exports of bread rtulf last year with those for the years before the abolition of the corn-laws,—not with those of the famine year*. In keeping with the absurdity of this blunder are his grave dicta respecting cotton and gold exports. With respect to the latter, Mr. FlLL moat professes to be apprehensive of a drain of specie, because the greater part of the gold imported from California is re-exported to Europe. Why, America had enough of gold for monetary and other purposes before the •• Jimplis" were discovered; what, then, would he have his countrymen du with the surplus that is now flowing in upon them? It would be invidious, perhaps, to dwell at length upon these old-wifcumui of the honest PaEst. PEST IrelS, they mere speculative errors; but when we awe them made a preface to an announcement that he intends to renew his attack upon the tariff of In-16, it is really necessary to expose their absurdity. On the third topic we have enumerated, Prodding Flt.t moat: is quite as unsutisfisetor as on the sa of free-trade. Wo expected to hnd him declaring that he is determined to enforce the law for the sur render of fugitive slaves, or,—ss he with a dulcet euphonisin calls it,—the law for" the return of NO. tives Irons labour." It is the duty of the chief ma. gistrute to enforce the law as it exists, whatever may be his private opinion of it. But there was no seeeseity fur the PRE.aneYir to go out of his way to intimate that he looks upon negro slavery as one of the sacred and not-to be-assailed principles of the constitution. Here again,—as in the matter of free trade,—we do not question his sincerity •, but as we regard his prejudices with reference to the latter as an indication of intellectual short-sightedness, so we cannot but look upon his prejudices with reference to negro slay - as a proof of moral blindness. Avery There are other topics touched upon in the Mt! sage, nut unimportant in themselves, but of inferior moment to those we have selected fur comment. Of this number are what he says respecting the appro priation of the surplus in the treasury; the progress of improvements carried on by the general govern ment ; the necessity of a revision of the general laws of the republic, such as has been effected by most of the states in their particular laws; the expediency of improvement in the discipline of the navy ; the works contemplated for the greater security of the coasting trade ; and the arrangements for liquidating the debt of Texas assumed by the central government. On all these topics Mr. FILLMORE speaks like a sensible and honest man. What he says respecting the policy to be pursued towards the Indian tribes within the territory of the Union, is more open to criticism. This, however, is a subject of which we propose to treat ere long, with reference to our own colonial possessions. The general impression that seems to prevail in the United States, that Mr. FILLMORE will not be re-elected, somewhat detracts from the importance of his message. Nothing. however, that at this time falls from the chief magistrate of so great a nation— an asylum for the fugitives of freedom from all countries--can be uninteresting. ST:BRARINE TELEGRAPH BETWEEN ENGLAND AND IRILAN D.—Active =emu's are about to be taken for carry- Mg out this species of communication between England and Ireland. It will require about 80 miles of cable, or three times the length of that between Dover and Calais. . FRANCE. PARIS, MONDAY Ryas/Iwo. If any candid judgment is ,still held in charitable suspense as to the real drift 'of the violent 'green meat imposed upon Franco by] the surprise of the 2nd of December, let it coOder the following fact, which I have just learned from atrustworthywource. Missing' the Sleek this morning I made inquiries, and found that its publication had been suspended by.the govern ment. The cause alleged for this oppressive measure will appear hardly credible. You are aware that none of the independent papers have yet published a single word of comment on the acts and decrees of the government. The 114ats, Union, Ordre, Opi nion Pablique, and Sleek, have simply copied the ordinances as they appear in the Moniteur, without adding any original remarks whatever. The Sleek, it appears:had given umbm‘mby urging all whowere entitled to vote to get themselves inscribed without delay at the different mayories. It was naturally inferred that the subscribers of the Sleek would I hardly claim their electoral right to use it in favour of the gaoler of General Cavaignac. A visit 1 followed from an agent of the authorities, who tendered to the Siecle an article in fa. your of Louis Napoleon for insertion. The article was refused, and the Sieck was suppressed. But this is not all. I hear that a similar visit was made to the office of the lYbats, and that warning has been given to that paper that it cannot be suffered to chronicle in sullen silence the acts of the government. It must adhere or abdicate. Sycophancy or suppression are the alternatives held out to the bland hither of the French press. Painful will it be to witness the en forced grimace of reluctant eulogy in those respect able columns ; still more painful to be hold at the foot of adulatory articles the names of able writers, who, you have the best reason to know, deeply condemn the policy to which they are constrained by cruel necessities to subscribe their public assent. 'thus the press, instead of regaining by degrees the liberty necessary to its existence, is daily verging to extinction. The Djbats alone, of all those papers unfeed, unsubsidised by the government, will probably survive to amuse, as it did in the days of the empire, its oppressed readers with light literature, philosophical essays, dramatic critiques, and everything but politics. An enormous rise took place at the Bourse to-day. The Five per Cents. rose 3.15, and closed at 102.50. The Three per Cents. rose-1.35, closing at 66.25. It is to be observed that the price of the Five per Cents. was 1 per cent. higher for the account than for cash, which shows the confidence of the speculators for the rise. Railways rose considerably. Rouen, 22.50; Orleans, 17.50; Tours and Nantes, 1:3.75; Central, 12.50. Bankshares rose 155 fr. The elevation of Valliant to the rank of marshal is ▪ blow at Oudinot, who was destined to that dignity, if hehad not been designated as commauder of the army by the assembled reproientativoi in the mayors of the 10th arrondissement. I tenet in the preamble to the de cree the whole merit (if such a service deserve the name) of the captine of Rome is attributed to Vall iant. Considering that Oudinot was at that moment in prison, it was hardly princely to strike this side blow at hie military reputation. The government organ of this evening states that some doubts having been entertained with regard to the full meaning of the rote of I)ec. 20th, the govern ment will address a circular to the prefects, to ex plain that the object of the vote is to confer power upon Louis Napoleon for ten years as well as to imply an adherence to the measures proposed by him. _ _ . _ A decree appears for :the distribution of pensions to the old soldiers of the Republic and Empire, com prised is the lists drawn up by the committee ap pointed in virtue of the decree of Feb. 25, 1850, and approved by the Minister of Justice. The dotution of the ;rand ehancelry of the Legion of Honour is to be augmented for 18.52 by 2,700,000 francs for the distribution of these pensions, according to the age, services, and wounds of the pensioners. A credit to this amount is therefore opened to the Minister of Justice ou the budget of 1842. The grant is to be repeated yearly. the chief point of interest at the present moment is the disposition of the various classes of electors with regard to the poll of next Sunday. By the pains which the Sleek takes to urge its partisans to secure their inscription on the lists it is evident that this journal is at the head of an active opposition. Generally the legitimists counsel abstention, although the government papers wish to make it believed that M. de Milieux has recommended his friends to rots in favour of Louis Napoleon. The socialists seem at this moment to have no organisation, and a vast number of workmen, whom they might under other circumstances influence, will no doubt vote in favour of Louis Napoleon. The Edit, de ri , sone states that at a meeting of legitimists, held at Perigneux on the 10th, the ma jority decided on voting in favour of Louis Na poleon. The Presto and Pays follow M. de Montalembert, in arguing against abstention from the poll on the 20th. The (ifs:elle de France also condems abstention. The C'unstitutionnel Hs its leading columns with the letter of M. Montalembert. The Urdre re-appears to-day. In commenting un the provisional budget for the first three months of 18.52, the C'onatitutionnel re marks that the sum assigned for the dotation of the President is reduced to the limit fixed by the Na tional Assembly. The salary of 25f. a day to repre sentatives has of course disappeared. But the credit for the Council of State is maintained, aq that insti -1 tution forms part of the forthcoming constitution. The different corps of marine at Dunkerque have sent in their adhesion to the President of the lte- public. In order to prove the great commercial expansion consequent on t e revolution of December 2, atten tion is drawn to the fact that in the six days follow ing that event the number of bales of silk which left the entrep.t at Lyons was 459, whereas, in the three months following the revolution of February no more than 314 bales were taken out. Letters from St. Quentin state that several persons belonging to the families of the generals confined at Ham, had set out for that fortress, provided with an authorisation signed by the Ministers of War and of the Interior to see their imprisoned relatives. M. Roger du Nord has not been set at liberty, as was reported. The eight prisoners at Ham are still there. General Cavaignac occupies the apartments formerly tenanted by Louis Napoleon. Gn Saturday were set at liberty, MM. Oudinot, Lauriston, Lugarde, Eugne Sue, Arnaud du Var, Ceyras, Chamiot, Charbonneau, Chanet, Cre"mieux, Jules de Las'eyrie, Oelareeiere, Ilennequin, Gavarret, Greyter, and Messner. he police continue to make numerous arrests of persons concerned in the recent insurrection, or who attempt to create disturbances. Amongst them are ten belonging to Neuilly, ten of the Batignolles, and , eleven of Grenelle. In the lodgings of each of these I men arms, ammunition, and demagogic publications have been seized. On Saturday 40 persons were ar rested in Paris, and amongst them were Watripon, Guerin, and Valliant, three chiefs of the demagogic party. 'Me number of political prisoners in the fort of Bicetre is 733. Provisions arc supplied from the hospital of Bicetre. LATEST FROM THE DEPARTMENTS. The latest accounts from the Basses Alpes speak of the insurrection as being repressed at all points. Digao is quiet, in the hands of the authorities. Order is also re stated at Manceque. The stew of the Vast is also said to be satisfactory. Letters from Draguignan, dated December 11, states that a decisive battle had taken place between the gendarmes commanded by Captain Henries and the insurgents to the I somber of 6,000 ; 6) or 70 of the letter were killed, and 80 taken prisoners. The troops lost only one man, but a cap tain and a lieutenant were severely wounded. All the hue- Lige' in the hand of the insurgents were rescued. Amoag I them was the Count de Colbert, whose son actively assisted the gendarmes. Two other hostage., M. de Laval (de • Largess), and 31. Panescorce (de la Garde Freinet) were i found wounded. An intended insutweetion in the HAUTIG4 ALPIS planned by M. Gigouz, formerly a candidate tor the Legislative Assembly ha, failed. An attack was to have been made upon Bagnires at a signal given by the sound of the tocsin, but the mayor had the precaution to place a guard upon the church, and be thus prevented the signal from being given. Gigoui was afterwards arrested. POACUING IN NORFOLK.-0a Saturday night a patrol, under the command of Superintendent Parker, en countered in the neighbourhood of East Dereharn a party of nine poachers, whom they attempted to apprehend. In {be affray two of the police were severely wounded by slots, but they succeeded in capturing seven of the gang. The poachers had just made an outrageous attack on the house of Whiteer, the Loom Hall gamekeeper. THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 16, _1851,, SPAIN NDIA AND CHINA. M . • • MADRID. Dm. 10. The deliveiance of tho Qseen is expected on the 12thi 13th. It is reported that the Marquis of Mini res will resign, and be replaced in the mini foreign affairs by M. Csatillo-y-Ayensa. The laat despatches from the government of the United States are highly satisfactory. ITALY. Onr Roman correspondent, writing on the 10th December, represents the impression made on the minds of the ecelesia-tical authorities by the Presi dent's coup de , tat as favourable on the whole. The police insisted on sending away M. Balbi, in spite of Lord Palmerston's remonstrances. Lord Middleton had been placed under the surveillance of the police on account of the colour of his courier's hat. The Bishop of Gibraltar was at Home endeavouring to obtain permission from the Pope to erect a protestant church in the city. A schism prevailed in the English protestant congregation, owing to a dis agreement between• the bishop and the church com mittee touching episcopal jurisdiction. GERMANY. The Berlin papers state that not only has M. Manteuffel declined to send a delegate to the Vienna Customs Congress, but on the sth instant he made specific proposals for a commercial treaty between Austria and the Zollverem. The revenue of Prussia for the ensuing year is calculated at 97,343,190 thalers, showing an increase of 4,050,240 thalers above that for 18.51. The ex penditure is estimated at 90,455,199 thalers, also more than that of the present year by 3,112,994 tha lers, though of this sum more than three millions aro for contingent and extraordinary expenses; the ordinary and permanent expenditure is covered by 96,153,933 thalers. The greatest increase of expen diture is in the War department, which will require an advance of 1,500,000 thalers above that of the same estimate of last year. 'The late mobilising of the army has revealed an insufficiency in the number of officers available for the landwchr. To supply the defect, each regiment of the regular army is to have an addition of 15 officers, of whom five will be captains. The regi ments of the lino are to be raised to the number of 500 men per battalion, with two years' service; those of the Guards, who serve for three years, to 676 per battalion ; the battalions will thus be kept at the full rate of 1,000 men each. A third regula tion increases the pay of the private soldiers by 4 pfenning a day ; at present, after deducting the dinner money, the men have only 1 grosehen 3 &tilling per day for all their other expenses. The commercial and customs treaty concluded by M. Phillipsborn at the Hague on behalf of the Prus sian and Zollvercin states has been approved at Berlin. Its definitive ratification may be delayed some months, as the assent of the separate states of the union has to be obtained. _ . _ The police persecutions lately directed against the members of the Vienna Bourse, have been sus pended. Our Berlin correspondent writes as follows : BERLIN, Dec. 12. An affair beginning to excite considerable atten tion here is the avowed intention of Austria to ac credit a second envoy to Frankfort, and separate the presidency from the diplomatic representation. The pretext for this change is, that no ono individual's energies are equal to the combined business of presi dency and legation. The transparent motive, how ever, is to create a more palpable supremacy of the Austrian minister, who would no longer be primus inter pares, but a personage without any other cha racter than a chief. Of course such a proposition will be opposed by Prussia. The Hanoverian Chambers are setting an example to all Germany, where any form of constitutional government prevails. Both lirst and Second Chamber have, by overwhelming majorities, rejected the pro positions of the government, the tendency of which is to nullify the reforms, both legal and administrative, which are known together undcrthe name of the "new organisation." In a secret sitting of the Second Chamber the treaty of September 7 was fully approved of. CANADA. TORONTO, Nov. 22. Since my last letter the attention of the people of this colony has been almost wholly taken up by the subject of the approaching elections. These will take place towards the beginning of next month, and, as you will fancy, the different candidates are busily clecti9neering ; but we have yet no kind of data upon which to found any speculations as to what will be the result. . . - e have received telegraphic ;Oakes from Halifax, I stating that the Nova Scotian House of Assembly has passed a bill in favour of the railroad from Halifax to Quebec. I think it very doubtful if this province will agree to the act of last session of our legislature, when the voice of the people is heard through the hustings. There is a strong feeling being raised against it. Much satisfaction is expressed by the Canadian press at the great success of Canada at the Industrial Exhibition. The number of medals and prizes that Canada has gained is ten times greater in proportion than the United States. Winter is now rapidly approaching; but the navigation of all our rivers, lakes, and canals is tree. Commercial operations are limited, and priecs of all kinds of produce rule low. WEST INDIES. From Kingston, Jamaica, via New York, we have advice* to the 21st ult. It is stated in the Standard that several persons of colour have been abducted on board American steam-ships, and sold into slavery in the United States. The governor's attention had been drawn to the matter. LATEST FOREIGN EXCHANGES. PARIS BOURSE. Vor Account. PARK Dec. 13. I V" II Unary. !Opole, ROW Lowest I Ckwag. 1 per lksts.

FIVE HUNDRED FEBAGNS DESTROYED BY A WATRuseory—On Saturday intel!istence was received at Lloyd's under date Malta, the Bth instant, of a most awful occurrence at the island of Sicily, which had been swept by two enormous waterspouts, accompanied by a terrific hurricane. Those who witnessed the phenomena (which was referred to in the Ezpress of the 10th instant) describe the waterspouts as two immense spherical bodies of water, reaching from the clouds, their cones nearly touching the earth, and, as far as could be judged, at a quarter of a mile apart, travelling with immense velocity. They passed over the Wand near Marsala. In their progress, houses were un ro 4d, trees uprooted, men and women, horses, cattle, and sheep, were raised up, drawn into their vortex, and borne on to destruction. During their passage rain descended in cataracts, accompanied with hailstones of enormo us size, land manes of fee. Going over Castellamare, near Stabia, it destroyed half the town, and washed 200 of the inhabit ants into the sea, who all perished. Upwards of 500 per sons have been destroyed by this terrible visitation, and an immense amount of property, the country being laid waste for miles. The shipping in the harbour suffered severely, many vessels being destroyed, and their cress drowned. Atter the occurrence numbers of dead human bodies were picked up, all frightfully mutilated and swollen. FATAL ACCIDENT IN THE VAUXIIALL-BRIDGE ' ROAD.—Yesterday afternoon Mr. Bedford held an inquest at the Feathers, Dean-street, Westminster, on the body of a widow, named Amy Lowe, aged 68. Deceased, on Thurs day evening last, was in the act of creasing the road at the head of Rochester-row, when a cab which had come down Warwick-street, and had just crossed the Vauxhall-bridge road, came in contact with her, and knocked her down, and the near wheels jawed over her, inflicting such severe inju rite that she died almost immediately afterwards. The witnesses all agreed that the road at this point is extremely ill-lighted, and the jury in returning a verdict of " Acci dental death," expressed a wish that the attention of the proper parties might be drawn to this circumstance.

We have received by express our usual despatches in anticipation of the overland mail from India. The dates are :—Bombay, Nov. 17 : Calcutta, Nov. 7 ; Madras, Nov. 13 ; Hong-Kong, Oct. 30. Our Bombay correspondent writes as follows : BOMBAY, Nov. 17. The Mahomedan festival of the Mohurrum passed off quictly—at least there was no tumult or riot worth speaking of, though numberless acts of indi vidual turbulence took place, some of the riff-raff of the Mussulmans ill-treating any and every Parsee they came across (which luckily was but few.) Sir Colin Campbell quitted Peshawur on the 23th ult. in command of a force of nearly 2,500 men, far the town of Michnec, inhabited by a tribe of Mo-1 mends, from whom our outposts had received con siderable annoyance—as also our troops at Pc shower, or, rather, the merchants and traders who supplied them with food, &c., nearly everyone of whom they managed somehow or other to full in with and rob and ill-treat. The force consisted of the sth company Ist battalion artillery with \o. 17 light field battery, the 2nd company sappers and miners, the 2nd irregular cavalry, two companies of the guide corps, two companies each of her Majesty's 61st and 98th Foot, including the light company of each regiment; the 66th or Goorkha corps, and a wing of the 71st Native Infantry. It was at first expected that the march of this force was intended merely as a demonstration, to show the Momunds what we were prepared to do should they not take the hint, and learn to behave themselves. The force reached Michnee on the 27th, 1 when they found it evacuated, the people having fired it on our approach. They fired on the men from their hiding places, but our people suffered no harm therefrom, their shot falling for short of our camp. On the 20th the fort of Itellimdad Khan was blown up; large stores of corn which had been laid up by the Momunds for winter provisions were set fire to, and their goods and chattels thrown into the river. The people had of course fled into the hills around, wanderers on the face of the earth, without food or shelter, bitterly cursing those who had thus forced them from their homes. But what else could be done than what we have effected cannot easily be conceived. We had been braved and annoyed by the ruffians of the hills, who, it is probable, bear but a small propor tion to the whole tribes—and the innocent must be made to suffer with the guilty. So old Dost Muhomed's death has not, after all, been confirmed—the last accounts front Cahoot re present him to have been very unwell, but the old gentleman had no intention of entering paradise a moment earlier than he could help, for all lie has so often been put out of the world by the north-west papers. The peculiar time taken to set forth his de mise, just as an expedition was setting out from Pe shower, has been remarked on. We have had but little news from the Punjaub other than regarding Sir Colin's force during the fortnight. Sir W. Gomm was looked for either at Jell:other or Lahore about the 20th—from the pipers I cannot make out which—most probably the latter. The 32nd Queen's was to march this day from the thriller station for Peshawur, its new desti nation. The Commander-in-Chief goes on to the frontier—for what object is unknown, unless it be on a " tour of inspection," as pleasure trips by these big-wigs are now invariably called. Sickness for tunately has considerably decreased throughout the Punjaub, and the weather was becoming cold. The pecuniary difficulties betwixt our government and the Nizam have at length been finally settled. His minister some months since paid off 40,0001. of the sum due us, and the remainder was promised by the heginning of the present month. This he found it impressible to perform from his own resources, but fortunately he and our resident between them managed to pentuade the Nizam that it would be for his awn interest to fork out the cash, and he has ac cording done so to the tune of 40,0001., from his pri vate treasury. So far, then, we are satisfied. Wel next wish him to disband his native army, and' allow the contingent to remain untouched, —and certainly they will be required if his rabble who know no trade but that of a soldier (?) are dis banded and let loose over the country to get a living by their own ingenuity. It is unknown whether the Nizam will agree to this, as he may have, and no doubt has, a notion that his own army is necessary to his dignity and safety; it is, however, put forth that if we lend him a million of money to enable him ! I to pay off their arrears of pay, he may be induced to act in this matter also as we desire. Of our grant ing him this loan there can be little chance, so how the thing is to end remains at present doubtful. Our governor returned to Bombay on the sth inst. Sir John Grey will soon follow him. Lord Dalhou sie was to leave Simla on the 3rd, and the lion. Mr. Thomason for Agra on the 10th or 16th. Trade at Calcutta and Bombay is tolerably active, but several ! failures at the former place are expected. Generals IL Maceeil and Godwin have reached India, and been appointed respectively to the com mand of the centre division .Madras army and the Sirhind division Bengal army. General Sewell, who formerly had command at Madras, has been posted to the Mysore division, to which the provinces of Malaba and Carrara have been now permanently attached. Two of the Scinde Ameers have gone to Lahore from Calcutta, to reside with their kinsman, Shore Mahomed, " the Lion of Meerpore," who fled from Scindc on being defeated by Ja cob's horse at Nusseerpore in 1843, and was allowed by Sir H. Lawrence to take up his abode in Lahore in 1841.—Mr. C. G. Manuel, of the Lahore Board of Administration, has succeeded Mr, Davidson as resident at Magpore,—although it was expected Mr. Bushby would have been chosen. It is said Sir It. Barlow has suspended Mr. M. Gub bins, preparatory to entering on the Joteo Persaud inquiry at Agin. Sir J. Colville could not wait Sir Robert's arrival, but proceeded on to Calcutta to carry on his own duties. This is to be regretted.— The story about Mr. Thomason being likely to be appointed governor of the Punjaub, &c., turns out to have been a story merely. The death of Mr. C. E. I. Ely, clerk to Sir A. Buller, is reported as having occurred at Calcutta on the 6th inst. Strange to say, there has not been a single death amongst the officers of the Indian army reported during the past fortnight. bb be d taken been ob awr dyt hhveyt the ol r yedesf t2ohl:fsle. light trtgtofhloottt - I).S.—The Lahore Chronicle of the Bth instant reached Bombay this morning. From it I gather the following :—A conspiracy had been put down at Herat by the ruler, the son of the late Yar Mahorned, the chief conspirators being decapitated,—a very effectual method, doubtless, of preventing their ever engaging in similar designs again. Old Dost Mahorsed was not in reality dead, but was tottering on the brink of the grave : he had been obliged to show himself to the people, that they might see he was still alive. The old man has put his house in order •, he preferred his youngest son, Goolaum Haider Khan (who was a captive in Bombay for a long time, having been taken at °heroic), to assume his mantle on his death, but in good policy offered the " turban" to the eldest, Afzul Khan, who, how ever, is said to have resigned it in favour of the choice i of his father. It is believed that Sirdar Sultan Ma- I homed Khan. late ruler of Peshawur, will dispute the succession as swam the opportunity offers. Thereare four other brothers—one at Ghturne, one at Nonistan, one in Toodkbistan, and one at the head of 2,000 men in Khoodum, near the Bungush country, of which Kohat is the capital Two tribes of Afreedics on the Kohat road to the south of Peshawur were busily engaged in the pastimes of plunder and mur der, and Captain Coke's party would be sent after them on its return the Meeranzaec country, where Richt i had st noto command fallen a i t a La wi h th ore a f w oe ith of ran any k as kin ß d r . iga Co die h r toCiletnh.eThfreo3dntiPerir their jaub Infantry to Thr 3rd Regiment has been or stiso: of Abdul . i al lefto s thede La ee tac;h r T hre e re n fN :t r. l o A L t i ooa r reas n re i 0 17: 11 1;d e p r ta l u N dn o dt gu a ure nt t oo r Pa n " was commanded by Major Darvall of the latter corps. Major Macgregor had recovered so far as to be able to resume his duties as deputy commissioner. Mr. John Lawrence was not to quit tor Peshawur till Sir Henry's arrival from Simla. I copy entire from the Chronicle the following summary of the doings of Sir C. Campbell's force up to the 2nd inst. We have, slue our last, received letters from Peshawar, that enable up to give a summary sketch of the proceedings of Sir Colin Catupbell's expeditionary field force. On the 25th of October, the force marched but a short distance from Peshawur to the lea bank of the Kabul river, suffering some desagreement on account of the heavy dust stirrins. The crossing of the bridge of boats by the artillery, and the many elephants in attendance on the force, pre sented a very interesting coup d'rcil. On the 26th the force progressed nearly westward about eight miles. No general change took place on the 27th, but a large reconnoitering force moved out of camp up to some villages at the month of the pass, and returned with out meeting with a human being, which gave the whole country a very desolate appearance. On the 29th a short march brought the camp some four miles neater the hills, and after breakfast two companies of her Majesty's Infantry, the Guides, two companies of the Goorkas, some Sappers and Miners, and two guns, started to destroy the some what distant village of " Bubb and others. The posi tions taken up by the troops are said to have been exceed ingly good ; every summit of every hill was crowned with men, and the towers of the first village having been blown up, as a preliminary measure, the huts were set on fire. Some few of the inhabitants subsequently commenced firing from a neighbouring hill, but they did no harm. Captain Colby, of her Majesty's 98th Regiment, had carried out with him a long range conical balled rifle, and the immense distance to which the balls were thrown, and the accuracy of the sin,, had a most salutary effect in keeping the " ene my" in check. "On the 29th, a detachment, similar in strength to that of the preceding day, destroyed more vil lages, the guides taking a prominent part in the " amusement," which they enjoyed amazingly, carrying out the work with proportionate alacrity and zeal "On the 30th and 31st the force remained in active, the Brigadier-General devoting his time to the se lection of a suitable site for a fort. During the night of the 31st October, several shots were tired in the British camp, but fortunately did no damage. . . . By the 2nd of November, the camp being then at what had been the village of DOA, the lines of the little fort were marked out, and wells under pi's - partition to be worked by Persian wheels, for the supply of the people engaged in the erection of the fort. The position selected is said to be a commanding one, on the banks of a nulah, about half a mile above Buda on Walker's map, and on the Alizale stream. It having been ascertained that a body of Moinunds were threatening Motto, the 3rd Irregular Cavalry were sent to hold :them in check, on which they timed towards the general's force, and it was generally believed that on the next move of the camp, something like active work would recur, especially as the Michnees were doing their best to induce Saadut !Chan, of Lalpoora, to join them with men front Bajuer. Doubts were. however, entertained of Saadut Khan committing himself so far as to give his neighbours any assistance. 'rho latest news from the camp is of the 3rd of November, and dated '• Dubb." We have already alluded to the determination of build ing a succession of forts round the whole district, border ing on the possession of tribes, inclined at all times to in vade our territny, whenever they see a favourable op portunity. Those opportunities will be much curtailed by the promisco chain of posts, but, we trust, the open ing-out of good lines of communication, between the principal station and the forts, and between the forts themselves, will be considered a matter of primary importance. We have drawn comparisons between the border life in Scotland and the present state of the frontier, let our rulers bear in mind that the construction of good . . roads in the Highlands subdued the clans as effectually as the garrisons to which they led. Commodore Lambert's sailing orders are said to have at length reached him from the Governor-Ge neral, and the Fox frigate was to leave Calcutta im mediately. It is not improbable there may be a brush again with the Itangoonites. Mr. Dickens, son of Theodore Dickens, of the Calcutta bar, has been appointed clerk to Sir A. Buller, in succession to the late Mr. Ely. The steamer has just arrived from kurrachee with news to the 13th inst. M. Frcre, the Commissioner, was t ) leave on the 12th for Schwan, by way of the Bubb river, crossing all the ranges of hills be twixt Sonmeanec and Schwan, for the pur pose of ascertaining whether or not they contain iron and copper ore in large quantities as has been alleged. lie would not return to Kur lilac° before the end of the year. Captain Par tridge, deputy collector, had left for Bombay, sick; it was thought he would have to go home. Mr. A. G. Constable, in the employ of Ritchie, Steuart, and Co., had reached Kureachec, fur the purpose of making enquiry as to the probable success of cot ton planting in Scinde. In Candeish this enter prising firm has introduced largely the cultivation of American cotton, and it is to be hoped they will try a like experiment in Young Egypt. The lady of Lieutenant J. 1). Williams, of the 28th Bombay Native Infantry, died at Kurrachce, on the sth inst., and J. A. Pyrn, Esq., 2nd Bombay Cavalry, third son of F. Pym, Esq., of The Hazells, in the county of Bedford, was on the Bth married to Miss Cecilia, the second daughter of Sir Richard Jenkins, G.C.B.
