Tim authorities MID deitlTOinAd to give the remains of tho Duke of WELLINGTON more than Christian honours—to make • Pagan hero of him, and slay human victims near his corpse. On Satur day the body of the veteran, lying in silent state in the hall of Chelsea College, was honoured by the killing, outside that building, of two wretched women, whose career was cut short in the uncont rolled crowd there assembled. One had left her duties as a cook—the other her home as the wife of a stablekeeper—to we the Lying in State ' • both ventured into the path where, with thousands of others, they had been bidden by the authoritative promise of a noble sight. In that place they lost their lives. Tho king of Dsuoitcv was understood to be the only potentate living in lzeil who honours the corpse of a dean favourite by the immolation of human victims. The king of Dsuolur pays the dreadful compliment by cutting the throats of negro . captives. The plan at Clielsea—u we now see—is to encourage the as semblage of a great crowd, which ends in crushing the weakest to death. The African slavir-iielling King catches his victims in open war; we bid them to a solemn funeral spectacle. His slaughter is inten tional ; ours " accideut"— induced by imperfect arrangements. Perhaps the death of the two unhappy women at Cliches College on Saturday will secure better plans for to-day and henceforward,—otherwise we stall asenredly have to chronicle a further sacri ficer if human lite. Those hitherto trusted with the ardetting of the funeral of the Duke of WELLINGTON have proved to be incompetent to the task. It is clear they either greatly under-estimated the number of persons likely to attend the Lying in State, or else they made an equally false calculation of the means necessary for ensuring the safety of the vast throng. In either case the public condemnation are •s 4 pro nounced upon them is riehl i eesrved. ThejWgmtnt which fi xed on Chelsea 'nil foe the ceremonial was manifestly unsound, w hen a mash nobler, and much larger, building was to be had in Westminster Hall. At Westminster there would have been the fine open square of Palace Yard for the reception of those assembled ; there would have been no need for "striking the flags" which the Eng lish soldiers had brought home from their many battles—the Hall would have held twenty or thirty times as many spectators as Chelsea Chapel—and safe egress might have been bad into Abingdon street. Having made this first grand error, by re jecting the larger—and historically more interesting —structure, and choosing in its stead the small and inconvenient college at Chelsea for this long-delayed ceremony, the persons charged with the duty of carrying out the plan evidently made no due prepa rations for the safety of the multitude whom protracted and stimulated curiosity was sure to draw to the spot. The "private view" (a most indecent, unbecomingteem) was so ill-arranged that hundreds—some say thou sands—who had been offered facilities fee attending it were unable to gain admission. There had been no proper calculation made to adjust the number of those asked to the number which the ca pacity of the building could accommodate within the prescribed limit of time. Then, again, the hours fixed for the admission of the general public to this national ovation were absurdly con tracted. Having determined upon paying to the remains of the Duke of NVELLINGTON the compliment of a Lying in State, and having arranged the details of the ceremonial, it would only have been neeeseary to relieve the guard sufficiently often, and to renew the lights, and the building at Chelsea might have been open day and night from the commencement of this national compliment (for such it is understood to be) till the morning when all that is earthly of the pea warrior shall be taken in state to its resting place in St. Paul's. There would have been something quite in keeping with what ought to be the solemnity of each a ceremonial, in tens of thousands of him coun trymen flocking hoar after hour through the day, and thee, on and en, through the still watches of the night till daybreak, and then still cm and on again in an enteeken enema, till so many theemads oat el our peat sit/ of two and a bait million made as thought St bad gratified their and paid their tribute al here-weeehip over the ecru or the dead soldier.

Lord Cowley has gone to visit the Print* Pre- sident at Fontambliss. The long talked of reduction in do army is now said to be on the eve of execution. Oommon report goes so far as to fix the date, November 18, for the appearance of the decree, for the retimatiss, in the Moaieeur. If any of the kind sheald occur, it will be merely a Mimi.

A big boy at school likes to see the fag that he bullies pat out his strength, that when ho has beaten him to a mummy he may feel a consiousness of superiority. But anything like low lode liberty or fair play of any kind is so obnoxious to the principles and practice of the present ruler of France, that I cannot credit any reports of a substan tial relaxation of the system that has prevailed for the last twelve mouths.

Misled by an announcement in ell the Paris newspapers that the opening of the imperial hunting season would be celebrated by a grand court stag hunt to-day, I came to Fontainbkau last night in the expectation of sending you an account of the sport from personal observation. To my great dis appointment I found on my arrival that the bunt was all over. It was thought desirable to put the population of Paris upon a false scent, and I, having no connection with the court, cannot complain of having been thrown out with the ruck. I now learn that at eleven o'clock yesterday morning Louis Napoleon left the chateau, followed by nearly 200 horsemen in the regulation costume, a green and gold cost, a hunting cap, white buc kskin breeches, with a scarlet stripe, and bones o revers. There was no prohibition against " tagyag and bob-tail" joining in the fun, but owing to the studied want of notice, not more than about fifty men in "multi" swelled the imperial cortege. The Princess Mathilde and eight or ten other ladies took the field on horseback. IL Lafeuille, the celebrated pipette from Chantilly was the huntsman. Thedeer was uncarted about half a mile from Fontainebleau, in the avenue of "La belle Croix." There was a bona fide run of several boars, end according to court etiquette the Prince was the first at the taking of the deer, which was not effected till neer five o'clock. If there had been any leaping in the course of the hunt, the consequences would probably have been diametral* not to the Prince, who : ri t e mid fo r o r:i r emeners, 4 exploits but to assay of his white seldom extended beyond the Bela de Boalogne. But hapOy the stag did not go bei _tied the boundaries of the !wed, and die sportsmen MI nothing to do but to gallop up and down the long rides. I have not beard that any solidest has occurred. At ten o'clock last night the deer was killed in kennel, and his entrails tbsteibuted to the hounds. This again was a disappointment to the public, for it was stu diously given out that this sanguinary ceremony would not take plass till this morning at nine. Today, at 10 Adopt, the President drove thr n il the town in an open travelling carriage, dratt post hones, and attended mama at the pariah elturch. He was in plain clothes ; the Prefect of the Seine and Marne sat by his side in uniform. General St. Arnaud, M. de P•reigny, and Colonel Fleury followed' in another carnage. The morning was very wet, and, as the visit was unexpected, the church con tamed little more then the ordinary congregation. , The main was nearly over when the President ar , rived, and his religious duties being finished in about ten minutes, he proceeded to pay a short visit to the hospital near the church, and then drove to a game preserve in the forest, near the Obelisk, where he I took the lead in • bates of pheasants sod chevreuils.

The war of the bank against the government h still an active one; the former presented its 18,000,000 rein in notes oa the 30th, under the abrogated law, for amortisation, which the Junta do Credits Publico refused ; while the Treaaury presented to the Junta the 9,000,000 reis under the decree to the account of the bank, which, with their own quota and other small sums, amounting in the whole to 30,915,000 rein, were duly amortised on the 3rd, as well as 9,494,091 rein in other papers of credit. The bank has also ad vertised authoritatively for all purchasers of national property to pay the amount of their purchases into the coffers of the bank, as if the directors were in the exercise of ministerial functions._ Exchange, 54 ; discount of Lisbon bank notes, 3 per cent. On the 9th inst., at Lisbon, a mutiny broke out among the crow of the Melbourne screw emigrant ship to Australia. One seaman was stabbed by soother, and is not expected to live. The captain and &Boers went on board the Inflexible, for security, the captain of which sent his boats, armed, and brought away Sve of the ringleaders and put them in irons on board of his ship. The Melbourne put into Lisbon leaky, with loss of all three masts in moderate weather, u also did the ship Typhoon, dismasted in a gale. Several of the Melbourne's passengers have come home in the Severn. THE SOUTH AMERICAN MAILS. The Royal Brazilian Mail packet Severn, Captain Chapman, from the Brazils, B:e., arrived at South ampton yesterday. and landed her mails under the charge of Lieutenant Newenharn, R.N., Admiralty agent. The dates are: Buenos Ayres, Oct. 2nd; Monte ideo, sth ; Rio de Janeiro, 15th, 7.50 a.m.; Bahia, 19th, 7 p.m.; Pernambuco. 22nd, 5.40 p.m.; St. Vincent, 30th, 10.25 p.m.; Teneriffe, Nov. 4th, 10.30 ; Madeira, 6th, 11.50 a.m.; Lisbon, 9th, 4.20 p.m. The Severn brings 41 passenger. The freight on board includes 5651. gold and 22,771 L diamonds. The screw-steamer Forerunner, now overdue with the mails from the west coast of Africa, arrived at Teneriffe before the Brazilian packet Severn touched there, but had not reached Madeira when the Severn loft. The Propontis, now overdue, with the Cape of Good Hope mails, was hourly expected at St. Vincent when the Severn left that island. The screw•steamer Calcutta, which left Plymouth on the 15th ult., with the Cape and Mauritius mails, arrived at St. Vincent on the 28th, and left on the 30th ult. THE RIVER NAVIGATION QUESTION. The Provisional National Adm i nistration not having been assumed by the Buenos Ayreans, the new government has only a provincial character, and cannot deal with international questions; hence, as will be seen by the following message of the new executive, the work of opening the navigation of the great rivers has yet to be begun - - - Buvios Ayree, Sept. 28. To the Renewable Chamber of RepreseniatWee. For many years the opening of our interior rivers to universal commerce has been regarded by all reflecting men as a convenience, or rather a necessity, of our desert countries. The intrusive administration in this province hem fallen that recently declared it, and regulated it with a view to a political state of existence which hem also dis appeared. This oceuocc urrence may produce, especially abroad, d . istrust or hesitation in this respect, which it is of supreme importance to dissipate or prevent. Sines the province of Buenos Ayres has resumed the full ezeseinel of its sovereignty and rights, and since it is kw* Bible that a national authority can exist so sown SI might have been wishcl, it is important mew while that the province declare itself on this peke s la a solemn manner, and obligatory on itself, so to "ea. It is true that the honourable chamber has already andel- ' wed this, on declaring in the manifest which it has issued, that this province wishes the opening of the rivers ; but the L 1 considers that, in a matter of this importance, I :l ll : lll4 assilestation of a desire is not sufficient, so long askissit entaverted into a law of the country, at least as swards the River Parana, the only one upon which the previnoe can legislate. But as this river bathes other po ling% if Will be necessary to understand with them as to Rieuelpdeliene that are to be adopted in the ease. These and men qf ether considerations, which the government VW explain In due coarse, induce it to submit to the con eldieration of your honourable corporation the draft of law, which it hes the honour to enclose." Here follow the signatures and the draft of a law opening the Parana under regulations to be agreed upon with the littoral provinces. i,. iitiNA. INDIA AND C THE OVERLAND MAIL. THE WAR WITH BURNIAII. We have received our journals and despatches in anticipation of the Overland Mail. The dates are— Bombay, Oct. 16; Calcutta, Oct. 7; Hong Kong, Sept. 28. The following is the letter of our Bombay cor respondent: BOMBAY, Ocr. 16. Tho whole of the first division, mentioned in my last as under orders to move up to Promo, had left Rangoon by the 26th September, accompanied by General Godwin, Admiral Austen, C. mmodore Lam bert, Sir John Cheape, and Brigadier Elliott, with nearly all the heads of departments; Rangoon being left in charge of Brigadier-General Steele. The 80th Foot embarked in the small steamers on the 16th, the 18th Royal Irish betwixt the 19th and 21st, the native corps, Artillery, and Sappers, betwixt the 21st and 26th. The admiral bad hoisted his flag in the Pluto; General Godwin and the commodore are in the Preeerpine. The rain poured in torrents during the week ending 26th ult., and it was feared cholera would break out amongst the troops exposed to the weather in the 'small steamers. They were to be transhipped in the Irrawaddy to the larger frigates isoostrts, Fire Queen, Enterprise, besides the smaller I vessels Pluto, I'hlegethon, Proserpine, Medusa, and Mahauuddy, the rendezvous being at Yanchin Chu ilfah. Tho rumour ran that a vast force had been assembled at Prome to give them a warm r veep. Use, while other accounts stated that it was not im proble a messenger front the King of Ave would await their arrival to make terms. General Godwin would return to Rangoon from Prome if all remained grist, and take up the second division under Steele (the 51st Font, the 40th, and 17th Bengal Native Infantry, the 9th Madras Native Latantry, 2 companies of sappers, andthe Horse Artil lery) about the 13th instant. Whether they would coup by steam, or overland by Sltuygain and Ton pluo, was not known; but Colonel Bogle was col- luting large numbers of elephants, bullocks, and arts, at Moulmein. Tho first division expected to Nan* Promo by the 4th inst., so that by next mail Something exerting may be transmitted home. It is believed that the annexation of the province of Pegu will bo proclaimed on our force gaining possession of Prome —a letter being sent to the king announcing the fact, and once more offering him terms, which should he refuse he must abide the consequences. The sth M.N.1., the head quarters sth batt. Artillery, the Ist Madras European Fusiliers, and large detach ments for the native regiments, had reached Ran goon. The detachment 80th Foot from Moulmein had joined head quarters before they left for home. The Battler steamer is placed as guardship at Bassein. The 51st Foot and 9th were to relieved from Bassein by the Ist Madras Fusiliers and 19th M.N.I. The Ist Bengal Euro pean Fusiliers left Calcutta by the steamers Sphinx, Feroze ' and Moozu ff er on the 29th Sept. and it is rumoured that the 2nd Europeans, now on their way from Agra to Fort William, will follow them to Rang oon ;if so, there will then be six Eu ropean corps in Burmah, viz., the 18th, 51st, and 80th Queen's, and the Ist and 2nd Bengal, and Ist Madras fusiliers—elose on 6,000 men, I should sup _ pose. Dr. Morgan, of her Majesty's frigate, Fox, died at Rangoon, of cholera, on the 23rd September. There are now in the Burmese waters the following vessels :—lier Majesty's ship, Hastings; her Mu jeaty's frigate, Fox ; her • Majesty's frigate, Win duster ; her Majesty's steamer, Sphinx ; her Ma jesty's steamer, Rattler ; Honourable Company's steamers Feroze, Moozuffer, Sesestris, Zenobia, Berenice, Nemesis, Hugh Lindsay, Fire Queen, Pluto, rhlegethon, Proserpine, liedusa, Mahe middy, Enterprise, and a couple of other smaller ones; the schooners Spy, Ann, and Henzie Queen ; with upwards of twenty five transports. Two new ships, the Granville and Hougoumont, of 700 and 981 tons, were launched at Moulmein, and a steam frigate mimed the Malacca, is being built for the royal navy. It was rumoured that a body of 40,000 Burmans intended attacking Rangoon oa the night of the 30th or 31st ult., they having heard of the departure of the first division of our troops for Prams, The story was looked upon as a very un likely one, but all proper precautions had neverthe less been taken to . prevent surprise and to give the Ws a warm reception should they attempt to molest ea. A strong party of marines and sailors from the Winchester had been put on board the surveying brig Krishna, lying off a place called Puzendawn, where the ex-governor of Pegu had taken refuge, se a party of Burmans from Pep had threatened to attack the place and carry him off. A number of Busse having taken up a position in a village not far from Martaban, several boats were dispatched from the Zenobia steamer and schooner Pegu to put them to the rout. There has been very little news from the Punjaub since my last. One of the few chiefs on the frontier who remained true to us having thereby drawn on himself and hie tribe the enmity of the hill tribes, who were said to be about pouncing on him, had ap plied for protection, and it was believed a force would proceed out from Peshawar to his assistance. Sir H. Lawrence was expected back at Lahore on the 2nd or 3rd inst. Colonel Mackeson had not re turned to Peshawar at latest dates. The sickness in the country bad diminished but little. From &lode not a word of intelligence has reached Bombay since despatch of last mail worth repeating. The steamer with news to the 12th is hourly expected. Matters continue to progress from bad to worse in the Nizam's dominions. The Contingent are eight months in ar rears of wages, with at present small hopes of receiv ing the ir pay from the Nizam's government, and our own apparently have no notion of doing the need ful for tin. Party @Tabbies run higher daily at the capital, but still we interfere not. In the districts rival governors think nothing of having a fly at each other, just for the fun of the thing. The Governor- General remains at Calcutta, in "royal seclusion," as one of the papars has it. His lordship does not wish to be pate personally by every . one who thinks he has claims to any vacant appointment, and has therefore directed that all applications for such shall be made officially, in writing, through his private secretary. This seems to have given offence to the Ditchers,who accordingly call out about his exclusive ness. The Marchioness Dalhousie is said to have derived great benefit from her sojourn in the Cinna mon Isle. Sir W. Gomm has after all, as if to spite the quid news, gone to Chance to spend a short tame in quiet away from Biala. The 10th Bengal Native Infantry, had reached Calcutta for embarkation for Burma the 2nd European Fusiliers were daily expected. The young chief Dhulleep Sing, ex- Maharajah of Lahare—a boy of nearly 16 years of age, who has since our annexation of the country of the Five Rivers, been under charge of Dr. Login— has, it is said, embraced Christianity in private, and will soon do so in public. He has been to church at Meerut with the worthy doctor, and thereupon the Ho/assails has rate d him and the government soundly, but molt ridiculously as most people think, the former for having inveigled the affections of the child (fifteen years old I) and got him to renounce the faith of his ancestors, and the latter for allowing the doctor to perpetrate such a heinous crime. By the newspaper writer the event is calculated to irritate against us every native potentate in India, and God knows what may not be the result of their wrath ! Anything more ridiculous than the article in the usually sensible and ably conducted Meerut journal cannot be cenceavect. The attorneys of Calcutta have formed an association amongst themselves for the purpose of getting up a law library worthy of their body--and many hun dreds of pounds have been subscribed by them. The new church at Roorkee has been finished, and was opened for public worship on the 20th September. The trooper who shot in April, 1831, Lieutenant and Adjutant Johnstone, of the 3rd Madre@ Cavalry, at Janina, has been tried, found 'guilty, and sentenced to be hung: the sentence has been commuted to transportation for life.

The editor of the Iliend of India, Mr. Marsham, goes home in I ;annoy next : it is to be hoped he may be examined REVOLUTION AT BUENOS AYRES. URQUIZA DEPOSED. On the 11th of September, while General Urquiss, provisional director of the Argentine confederation, was on his way to Santa Fe, with Sir Charles Ho them, the Buenos Ayrean party, consisting chiefly of members of the parliament which Urquiza lately dis solved, seized tho government. By this coup the Buenos Ayreans get rid of an administrator dis posed to govern less for their province than for the whole state, and hope to avoid the National Conven tion, which might have limited their future influence over the general direction of the republic. It will be seen below that no blood has been shed, General Urquiza preferring to leave Buenos Ayres rather than sacrifice . human life . But although Urquiza has thus retired from Buenos Ayres, he has not resigned the direction of the Confederation. The Guardia Nacional of Oct. 2 contained Urquiza's circular to the foreign Consuls, dated Parana. Sept. 26, in which he speaks of what has happened at Buenos Ayres as a thing of no importance, and announces his intention of leaving that province to take its own course, directing them to treat exclusively with him, in all that may concern the foreign relations of the Confederation ; and declaring that he is determined to instal the Sovereign Congress, claiming for himself the style and title of Director. — TErg;el;;;;l — stiyai - " Two proclamations of Gen. Urqiniza, of date the 22nd, one to the Entre Risme, and the other to the Santafecinians, have come by the steamer, in which he announces that even without Buenos Ayres a great, rich, and powerful nation may be formed. In neither of them dose he speak of the Congress." The revolution was of both a military and civil cha racter, and was headed by Genersla Piran and Ma dariega. At midnight of the 10th, two Correntino battalions formed in their barracks in the Retiroequare, headed by General Madariaga and a br igad e of artillery, under the commander Commandant Solano, and came to Vietorifrequare. The battalion stationed in the fort, under the command of Colonel Tejerins, and the battalion San Martin, ender that of Coleael Echanagucia, followed and hem' fa the square be fore daybreak. During the night, the odors of the Correntano division of cavalry were engaged with the requisite secretly in providing hones for the discharge of the service which it was to had. Shortly after, the same division, under the command of Colonels Karnes and Ocampo, arrested Generals Virasoro and Utdinansio, known to be faithful to Unpin.

This month, so far, 66,000 bags have been purchased, and an evident improvement in pries was noticed after the arrival of the Severn. Our stork of 76,000 bags is entirely composed of ordinary qualities, and incessant rain still prevents coffee from being brought to market.

Ivor is bags to before the parliamentary committee, as he d give evidence on any subject relating to India of more value than that of any other half-dozen men in England. Dr. Grant, personal surgeon to the Go.. vernor-General, has been appointed Secretary to tho Bengal medical Board: for the present he remains with the most noble—Surgeon MtKinnen acting for him for the present in the board. S•irgeon J. Gill, Madras army, has retired on 191/. a-year, and Major Gill, of the same service, hai invalided. Som e alterations in the Bengal Civil Service Annuity Fund rules have been sanctioned from home—considered very favourable to the members. Lord and Lady Falkland reached Mahabuleshwox on the evening of the 6th, where they will remain till early in November, when it is expected they will repair to the presidency to meet their noble relative, Lord Fitzclarence. Young Captain Fitzclarenco has resigned his berth on the Governor's stuff, and will, it is expected, be employed on that of his uncle, to which Captain Fellowes has already been nomi nated from home. General Staveley and the geueral staff of the presidency will he in Born bay by the '27th, it is expected. Probably the gallant general will return home on delivering over the command of the army to the new Com mander-in-Chief, though nothing on the subject has yet been broached in public. Three of ficers of the Bombay army are amongst the casualties by this mail :—Superinfinding Surgeon Monteliore, of the Northern division, at Ahmedabad, on the 29th Sept.; Captain Clarkson, 12th N. 1., at the same place, on the 6th inst. ; and C o l one l J. Cumming, Ist Europeans, on the 2nd Sept., on his way to Australia for change of air. By the former Dr. Straker comes into the Booed, consequent on Dr. Gibb's retirement, and Drs. 'Woke and Scott become superintending surgeons. Dr. Leith will, it is be. lieved, be the new Secretary Medical Board in place of Scott, and the Medical Storekeepership, vacated by Rooks., has been offered to fir. Leggett, at Surat. the Garrison Surgeoncy at this place will, in case Leggett accepts the offer, be given to Dr. Winches ter, and Leith w.ll be succeeded in the Bombay Garrison Surgeoncy by Dr. Arbuckle —at least as it is expected. The ltight Rev. Dr. Hard ing and the Aretdeacon are at the and so will all who can manage it by the end of the next month. Thou g h Si r E. Perr:t II time of departure for England is now at hand, not a word ham yet been heard of who is to be his successor. The natives wished to have erected some testituunial in his honour—a law class iu the Elphinstone College, or a school of industry on a large scale,—tut the learned knight could not with any consistency allow them to do so, as he has on several public occasions ridiculed the testimonial-giving mania now for many years prevalent in Bombay. l'ity he should have refused, however, fur a school of industry for the tuition of the sons of the poor working classes in the arts and manufactures has long been a desideratum; the law class in the college would not have been of one-fiftieth the value of the school. There are few men who have deserved better at the hands of the natives than Sir Erskine Perry—few who will more be missed by all grades of society. Professor Patton leaves by to-days Ceylon steamer for Europe on two years' leave. lie has been very unwell, but has rallied considerably, and will, it is hoped, speedily recover. Colonel Moore, auditor-general, and Co. military secretary to government, returned by last mail to Bombay from Egypt, where they had been on leave for change of air and recreation. Oar railway progresses like mad, and it is xpected car. lieges and trains will be running betwixt the fort and Tanna (24 miles out of the 36) by the end of January. The Buinbay Times has latterly been filled with speculations on the new Charter Act, and able suggestions for the improvement of the govern. ment of India, which our legislators in parliament would do well to study, but not a line of which I will venture to say will even be read by three-fourths of the gentlemen who amongst them constitute the wisdom of the nation. What do they care for India or its people, further than its finding employment for younger suns, and nephews, and cousins, and friends, for whom they care just as little. It is said that the Rev. Mr. Reynolds, chaplain at Kirkee, has been selected by the Board of Education to succeed Pro , fessor Green (who is about being transferred to Item bay) as professor of literature in the Poona College— of course retaining his clerical appointment as well. The old tub frigate Auckland, which left on the 14th September with the bulk of the mails for Eng land, reached Aden on the morning of the 2stb, after the Hindoostan had left for Suez —so she had to push on with her charge herself. It is not expected that she reached Suez in time for her packets to be sent on with the Bengal mail—so they would have to lay a fortnight in Egypt. Splendid mail (mai) arrangements these. Of course, everybody at the presidency sent their letters by the Achilles, on the 15th September, which got to Men on the 25th. three days before the Calcutta steamer. The officer R.N. on board the Ilindoostan (which left Aden a couple of hours after the Auckland mast have been visible had a proper look out been kept at the Shum-Shum signal station) is reported to have rather hurried the departure of the vessel than attended to the request of the Aden political agent for her detention for a few hours : if so, he ought to be put on the retired list instanter. Lieut. Taylor, LN., has completed the survey of the Gulf of Catch, after eighteen months labour, and returned to Boms bay. Mr. T. J. A. Scott, the secretary to our rail. way, has returned from England, whither he had gone some months back on business and for the benefit of a change of air. The murderer, Duncan M'lnnes, who killed Sergeant Smith, was hung at Belgaum on the 4th instant. He confessed his crime, and on the drop implored all tho European soldiers to keep from drink, as the fire water had brought hint to an ignominious end. Trade con tinued brisk, and the money market completely glutted. F.S. At Umritsir and Lahore the native troops appear to have suffered more than the European soldiers from sickness. The entire 9th N.I. were hid up, the band mustering as strong on parade Si the battalion. At Cawnpore the 70th Foot and 48th N.L had 200 each in hospital ; while at Dacca the 38th N. 1., the corps which refused to go on bard ship to Burmah, was utterly disorganised and deci mated by fever. They could barely find men enough he a rear and quarter guard every other day; the hospital and lines wore crowded with dead and sick —no one could help his neighbour. The treasure chest was full—the men could not take their pay, and all the pay sergeants were sick. An establish ment for training engineers, similar to that at Boor km, is about to be brought into being at Lahore under Colonel Napier, by the Board of Administra tion. Colonel Hawkins, Commissary-General Bengal Army, is about to proceed home on medical fur lough; and Mr. R. E. Cunliffe, C.S., to resign the service. The Kalabagh coal has been tested, and found to be tolerably good. An iron ore, a mixture of carbonate of iron and lime, like ankeritc —2O per cent. of the former and GO of the latter—has also been found in the same locality. The Rev. J. A. Sharman, of the Benares mission died in that city on the 30th Scpto deeply regretted by a host of friends. Sir John Littler was to have left Darjeeling for Calcutta on the Ist October. He had materially improved in health. The Kirk Session of St. Andrew's, at Cal cutta, has memorialised the Court of Directors for additional presbyterian ministers for Bengal. Dr. Straker has refused promotion to the board, and Dr. Edwards will therefore take his seat as third member.
