2 extend naiads NA tarn a liberal reestration also ciation. In= apart from the Whig leaders, there are no for such an association ; the motley supporters of Mr. Cowan cannot act together. A glance, at the names on the committee of Mr. DISNNISTOUN sad on that of Messrs. HASTIE and MACOREGOZ mrplains this. On the former will be found the greater number of the wealthy, the ariato• critic members of the liberal committee at previous elections; on the latter, along with a thin sprinkling of such names, those of the substantiai, intelligent, and independent shopkeepers and tradesmen, who are each in their districts " captains of fifties and captains of hundreds,"—the real working men at elections. The liberal committee has at this election ben divided into two—Mr. DEssl•rvine had the ornamental and his rivals the useful committeemen. In Edinburgh there were none but ornamental men —l.:cre were no working members out of whom to farm a second committee, whet the aristo cratic coterie got into bad odour. The history of the two constituencies since 163: accounts for this difference. The weighty names of JISPYILEY end Anenesomisr carried the first Edinburgh election hollow ; the prestige of success at the first election has buoyed up the local leaders till now, and they I have absurdly attributed to their own influence what was in a great measure owing to their lucky choice of csndidatel. They have, in consequence, neglected to study and guide public opinion a-nong their citizens. The corresponding section of the Glasgow liberals, on the other hand, bungled their first eleztion ; and, to retrieve their position, were obliged to throw themselves unreservedly on the good sense and goodwill of the general electors. The con sequence has been, that the electoral body in OM'gow have been intelligent coadjutors of their local leaders; uot, as in Edinburgh, tame, unconsulted followers. Hence, now that the contagious folly of the Edinburgh leaders has caught those of Glasgow, there is in the latter city a constituency trained by 1 habit to act for themselves, while, in . Edinburgh, n inc suzb has ever been formed. We have entered into the details of these facts, because they teach a useful lesson, not only to all I acetions of the liberals in both cities, but to point- kr constituencies throughout the empire. WE give the following fkom v. respected corre spondent in the South of Ireland, whose views, though we may not adopt them, are valuable, as symptoms of what ideas run uppermost in that country : " A priest lately died in the county of Cork wider circumstances of what we evil: call start ling poverty. He was located in a remote parish, in which no wealthy Roman catholice resided. In the discharge of his duties he caught fever, and his sister came from a distant part of the county to attend him. At first she had the satisfaction of seeing be Ow tienate solicitude rewarded. The fever passed away. But the physician in attendance told her ' for some time to come your brother must be sustained with a generous diet of meat and wine. If he be not properly supported, he will sink hem exhaustion? The priests family had been ones is respectable circumstances, but they inherited nothing save an ancient name. Straitened for money, and driven even into extremity, the poor sister determined to pledge her brother's clothes. Bet when she went to look for them it appeared that, previous to her arrival, they had been sent to the pawn-office for the purpose of getting money . to defray the first expenses of his illness. The dying priest had literally sot a farthing in the world. He had received no dues for a considerable period. Retaining the sentiment of gentility, the sister was ashamed to expose the abject poverty to which her brother and herself were reduced. The priest died literally for want of the necessaries to one in his sitentior.. We have been assured that the case was little short of actual starva tion. I could mention the parish and the priest, but from motives of delicacy to hie surviving relatives refrniu from doing so. His brother was a respect able dignitary of the French catholic church. The case is no doubt an extremnone but the priva tions of the Irish catholic clergy during the present year are greater than is generally supposed. They have suffered severely from the loss of their dues, and these who might at another period have readily assisted them have not the means of doing so at pee wit. The catholic gentry, without their rents, and the catholic middle c la sses, without their usual gains in trade, cannot vigorously aid their needy pastors. it is no wonder, therefore, that in such a state of things a system of state endowment should be looked upon with more popular favour than it has been heretofore regarded with. And accordingly, opinion in Ireland is beginning to set strongly in favour of some well-considered plan by which the social condition of the catholic clergy would be im proved. This change is very noticeable in the south of Ireland, where the evils of the voluntary system are, perhaps, most apparent. For example, the priests during the late year of famine have suf fered more hardships in the great county of Cerk than in the remote and less civilised shire of Galway. In the latter county there is a large body of catholic gentry. In Galway and Mayo the chapel has often a more aristocratic congreg ation thin the church. That sort of " respectability which consists in keep ing equipages belongs in those districts fully as much to the catholics as to the protestant& But it is other *hie in the south-western extremities of Ireland, where, especially in some parishes of Kerry and the county of Cork,the priests, during the present year, have lived in a state of almost abject destitution. The catholic clergy themselves are now becoming convinced that the system by which they obtain pecuniary support demands important changes. Many of them have heretofore conscientiously repu diated all plans for receiving assistance from the state. In their opposition to such plans, several of them were animated only by the purest motive—re gard for the interests of religion. But the social cir cumstances of the country having undergone an almost total change, the same motives now induce them to look more favourably on a system by which they would be secured a certain and safe independence. The heads. of the church are beginning to feel that it is neither safe nor decent to expose the laborious working clergy to all the temptations, as well an the hardships, inci dent to their present situation. Men of foresight and experience in affairs, can conjecture with tolerable ac curacy' on the state to which a starving catholic clergy would be reduced. Another case, of a totally different kind from that which we have just described, will suggest some of the evils resulting from leaving the catholic clergy without a certain (even though mode rate) independence. Not 30 miles from the place where the fever-struck priest died for want of proper sustenance there dwells another priest of a coarse and vulgar mind, and of a very worldly disposition. Like the rest of his bre thren, he suffered from the ban times, but, unlike most of them, he did not bear his discomforts with patience. Finding that his parishioners were lax in their contributions, he determined to snake a bold stroke for his dues. From the altar on which he performed the rites of religion he publicly impre cated the Divine wrath on those of his flock who would not properly pay him. In the plainest terms be told his congregation that "he hoped the fever would net pass the doors of those" who refused him his dues. His hearers were outraged by each language. A a cry disgraceful scene was near being witnessed on the instant. The priest had a horse and gig waiting for him outside the chapel. It was with great diffi culty that the gig was rescued from the hands of his flock, who wished to give a demonstration of their feeling by making fragments of the vehicle. But the good sense of the serious part of the congregation iuterpoed, and the priest's gig was allowed to pass unharmed, after its owner, however, had received a very significant lesson that he had gone too far in applying the engine of spiritual terrorism for the extraction of shillings and half-crowns from his afflicted and impoverished parishioners. Sinai a catholic priest as this is, no doubt, an ex ception amongst his order. But the case suggests the dangerous temptations which tieset men armed with great power over a rustic eongregation, and limed to use that power by a sense of privation. It will be readily imagined that though the catholic clergy would scout such scandalous conduct as the fever-invoking priest has been guilty of, still that some of the m, might on sonic °cations exhibit an unseemly eagerness in the pursuit of the dues, whieb, after all, arc absolutely necessary to their existence. For a clergy placeu m their peculiar position the greatest allowance should be made. The conduct of the Irish catholic clergy has been most ex emplary during . this year of famine. There has been en thew part in general r praiseworthy abstinence from Without wishing to enter into tun very difficult ..d1 question of Irish catholic endowment, I merely seek to draw attention to the actual change that is taking place in the feelings of the Irish catholic, concerning that question. Although the Nalion re pudiates the notion, it is very we ll ascertained that the feelings of the Young Ireland party are in favour of paying the clergy by the state. The 1=1: Ireland have always been favourable to the $o also hare been the majority of the conservative roFietors. The Old Ireland party would probably howl against the plan if it were proposed in parlia ment ; but their violence of language is not a genuine expression of sentiment. The change of opinion that has taken place in Ireland upon this most important question is very remarkable, and will one day com mand your notice." -- - - Our despatches of Sunday from Paris have ar rived. M. Rothschild has had, within the last few days, several conferences with the Minister of Finance, a circumstance which has produced an impression that preparations are in progress for the negotiation of the new loan lately authorised by the chamber. It is reported that various pouiparlers have taken Se lately at the Chateau, and at Neuilly, the sab ot which is said to be a change in the cabinet. I • culties are said to have arisen, owing to the par ties whose introduction into the royal councils nes desired having demanded, as an indispensable con dition, the dissolution of the chambers, to which the King is altogether opposed. We give this as a cur rent rumour, without pledging ourselves to its truth. I; Union Mnnarchique, in reference to the visit of the Princess Lieven to London, says, "We are assured that political objects are not unconnected with the journey of this female statesman, who has become, as is well known, the Egeria of M. Quint." In consequence of government having received more recent adviccs from Rome, the Roman fund s ' e on tl e Bourse. The journals and correspondence of Berne to the 29th ult. inclusive, and from other parts of Switzerland have been received. The excitement produced by the resolutions of the Diet, the menaced resistance of the separatist cantons, and the movements of foreign Powers and their diplomatic agents, is universal and intense throughout the cantons, and productive of manifestations on the part of the people, which, taken in connection with the measures of Lucerne, and the other lesser cantons, give just grounds of apprehen sion to all who desire the tranquillity of the confede racy. A vast club ramifying through all the cantons is formed, having local committees in all the principal places. The professed objects of this" Swiss popu lar Association," as it calls itself, are for the present to aid iu enforcing the execution of the decree of the Diet to dissolve the Sunderbund, and to use every legal means to effect the expulsion of the Jesuits from the territory of Switzerland, and ultimately to bring about a reform of the federal pact, such as will bring it into more complete harmony with the social progress and enlightenment of the age. This body avows its purpose of work ing out its ends by legal and peaceable means only, and chiefly by persuasion and the diffusion of in formation. It has a governing committee, or sort of executive body, established at Berne, by is hich the efforts of all its branches are centralised and rendered effectual. Opinions differ as to the course likely to be taken by the separatist cantons. Some speak openly of armed resistance to the execution of the resolutions of the Diet. It is certain that if before the middle of August the Sunderbund do not voluntarily dissolve, in compliance with the decision of the Diet, the Vorort will he compelled to adopt means for its dissolution by armed force. Popular meetings, composed of thousands of persons, assembled under various pretexts. such as the practice of the carbine, wrestling, singing, B:c., are held from week to week. So long as a reliance on the firmness of the federal government is felt, these assemblies may be retained within the limits of order ; but any misgiving pro- duced by a manifestation of yielding to Austrian in fluence would act like a spark among combustibles, and set all Switzerland in a flame. The club of Swiss carbineers assembled at Glaris sent an address on the 28th ult. to the Diet, to thank that body for its decisions against the Sunderbund, and to exhort it not to allow itself to be intimidated by the menaces of foreign diplomatists. This address was presented by President Ochsenbein to the Diet on the 26th. The funds which are voted to the federal go vernment for the pay of the troops of the confede racy, and other public charges, have been hitherto de posited in equal amounts at Zurich, Berne, and Lucerne. The present amount of these funds is three hundred and sixty thousand pounds sterling. One hundred and twenty thousand pounds are deposited in each of the above cities. It was intended to propose a resolation in the Diet on the 29th, to the effect that the stun now deposited at Lucerne (the chief place of the league) should be transferred to Zurich. This resolution would, no doubt, be carried; in which event it was known that Lucerne would oppose to it an absolute refusal, and would, if necessary, oppose by armed force its execution Further advices have been received from Bologn to the 23rd tilt, and from other parts of Italy. The people had remained tranquil ap to the date of the last advices at Ferrara, Bologna, and Ravenna. But more extensive reinforcements of the Austrian troops were announced to be on the march. If these troops advance into the lmations, a general insurrec tion throughout central Italy was feared. A letter from Ferrara, dated the 21st ult., says that the Austrian troops which arrived there adopt measures to goad the population to a tumult. On the 19th, some Austrian soldiers insulted the portrait of Pius IX., and tried to provoke a quarrel with two dragoons in the papal service. Others outraged a lady in the streets, and stopped the carriage of a physician (Dr. Zacchetti) who was visiting his patients. It was said that the Austrian commander had orders to attack the population without mercy, on the manifestation of the slightest disorder. The national guard, however, continued to be enrolled, and was regularly drilled in the square of Prosperi. Agents of Austria, as was supposed, were employed to excite disorder at Bologna during the anniversary ,of the amnesty. A Corsican, named Cristini, began to utter exclamations agai t ns Pius IX. The people were exasperated, but contented themselves with committing him to the charge of the pollee. Austrian emissaries are running through Romagna, stimulating the people to disorder. Letters from Bologna of the 23rd say that imms diately on the announcement of the formation of the national guard at Ferrara, a battalion of Austria& infantry and several squadrons of cavalry were marched upon that city from Verona and Padua. " This advance of troops," say these letters, " with all the appearances of hostility upon a city in which Austria has no other right than to keep a minima is the citadel, has produced a lively sensation and a great scandal. The soldiers are in constant fear d being massacred unawares, and yet they seem to seek pretexts to provoke disorder." The following pro clamation was posted up through the town of Ferrara, bat was subsequently torn down by the Aunties commander: Citizens of Ferrara,—You have seen the German one your walls.

The Flamingo of Barcelona publishes a royal order, addressed by the Minister of War to General Pavia on the 16th. This document, whwe authenticity is not doubted, is important for the decided tone taken against arming the militia, the favourite measure of the progresistae, and the one which occupies the foremost place in their programme of government " I have informed her Majesty of your esoeUeney's coin- munication of the 12th from La Waco's& It ie evidently little less than impossible to prevent the occasional repetition of the public correepondence being intercepted, as your ex. stabs took place with rogi.rd to that of Valencia on the precedii.g day ; anal your excellency in putting in prac tice the only precut' . lons that cue be adopted.

The Faro midis the following document from a biography of the Duke ei Setcenclor, hunted in a literary parodied, to show the ergesey with which the duke was pressed by the queen to take Gees seine his own inclination : " Malmo, JAN. F 1847.—Cues Irujo : Asap:Wens= (caballero) end good Spaniard, you cannot refuse to servo your queen, who asks you to help her out of a politica in which I neither can nor ought to make another ministry than the ens which I have made.

Yoe may Ma amused that I appreciate you much.—lBAßE L." A correspondent of the Heralds writes from Huelva that on the 19th two English officers of the war-steamer Phoinix, acting under the orders of Sir W. Parker, preempted them selves, first before the Spanish commander-general, and then before the intendente of the province, to claim a vessel that, Nailing under English colours. and wearing every appearance of a smuggler, was taken in March last in La Higueritn. The in:endente gave them to understand that this case did not belong to his tribunal, but to the Audiencia, in which court the trial was now pending. Having received this answer, the officers returned to Lisboa to report the malt of their application to the admiral. All doubts about the abundance of the harvest having ceased, the Gazette publishes a roy il order repealing the decrees of the 14th and 23rd of last March, which prohibited the exportation of grain, and re-imposing all the taxes upon grain which were by the same decrees taken off. The im portation of foreign grain is to be regulated by the laws which existed previous to the decrees of March, and in par. titular by the decree of Jan. 29, 1834. The provincial deputation elections may be cossidered ter minated. The progresista candidates have won the day prineipally in the provinces of Madrid, Zaragoza, Coronet'. Gerona, Toledo, Grenade. The moderados have prevailed generally in Valencia, Alicante, Castellon, Lugo, Barcelona, Cadiz, Ciudad-real, Zamora, Jaen, Cordoba, Almeria, Pa lencia, Pontevedra ' Oviedo, Guadalajara, Cuenca, Huelva, Huesca, Valladolid, and Murcia. The remaining provinces are pretty . evenly divided between the two parties. This, however, is the Faro's account of the business. ROME, JuLv 23. The position of the Pontiff is painful in the ex. treme. While he joins with his people in hearty thanksgiving for their providential rescue from an in discriminate massacre, he cannot scare away the sad conviction, strengthened every hour by oral and docu mentary evidence, that high officials, holding the first clerical rank, were no strangers to what the Prelate Grasselini (a now manifest traitor) had connived at and abetted. His sign manual for letting loose more than a hundred miscreants from prison on the previous day ; his written orders to admit the blood-thirsty bludgeonmen from Faenza without the usual passports into the city, to the number of several hundreds ; his cor respondence with the military ringleader, Col. Freddi ; but too well justified his precipitate flight across the frontier. That higher personages were cognisant of an expected outbreak, without probably being further initiated into the fouler deeds to be done, is placed beyond doubt by the documents in the hands of jus tice ; and how to deal with these great conniving criminals would be no problem to Sixtus Quintus, bat is a very perplexing dilemma to Pius IX. It appears . to have been arranged among the exalted dignitaries I speak of, what part each was to play is the melodrama the sanguinary scenes of which were, perhaps, kept out of the rehearsal. Tho road to Naples now turns out to have been the Pope's desti nation, on the troops mastering the town ; but, pre viously, these cardinals were to have presented for his signature, during the general panic and &laughter, a written document, calling for the intervention of France.' and Austria. Car dinal Dellagenga had already done enough last year to justify his execution for high treason : whether he will escape this time is to be seen. Cardinal Her netti, who had amassed wealth under Gregory, and was deep in the councils of Lambruschun, has suddenly taken to his sick bed, and is strongly recommended by the state physician not to leave his room. Lambruschini is safe in Genoa, where his position is thus described in the person of his almost namesake by Byron : I mid that Lambe* sem a mm of patience, Not that he was not sometimes in rash mood; He bore their sneering at hie neer relations Calm, coiled up like the boa in a wood.—Cant. di, at. IC. Before he fled from Civita Vecchia, the week pre vies, to the plot's discovery, he had proclaimed to the poor of the diocese that all in want had but to pre sent themselves, and each person Would receive a silver panto. Not one of that wretched, squalid, poverty-stricken population was found willing to accept his charity—folks who would pick your pocket of a bajoccho nevertheless. Count Ladolf, the Nea politan ambassador, had entered into the kindest arrangements for the rapid abduction of Pius, and his quick transfer to bella Napoli : and it is now found that the famous feud among the hackney-coachmen, which was to be one of the grand features of the contemplated riot, was got up through his manage ment: most of the foreign jarvies being now found to have come up here from the Abrurxi—and formi dable brutes they are! It seems that the conspirators were alert enough to know that the Jews would fight like Maccabees for the Pope. The papers found in Col. Freddi's house show that he had an eye to that point, and had made arrangements for shutting and guarding the gates of the Ghetto. It was to be set on fire, if necessa7. The Bilancia of yesterday notices another feature in the combination. The workmen were to be induced to smash machinery of various kinds lately intro duced, as so much taken from the profits of labour. It also talks of men di transalpine lingua, stirring up the populace to discontent. In the same paper . there is mention of what I myself have seen, viz., in the courtyards of various palaces and houses belonging to the liberal citizens of Rome, a large mysterious chalk mark in red was traced conspicuously in the fashion following—S. S., which was understood to mean Sangue ! Saccagio! The Bilancia further asserts that the massacre was decided on by the three conservative powers of Southern Europe, Austria, France, and Narks. " UN' IIECATOMBE A Glove CONSERVATORE!" is the opening phrase of the leading article. The same intelligent publication, which is consi dered more moderate in its tone than the totempa enasek indeed semi-official, states that Rome has jut "a due dita della rorina :" it talks in terms cif bitter sarcasm of the late executive, it pater she chic mono MECUM°, and congratulates its readers in the words of old Dante on the luck of Rome: Omits fuer del pelage alto rim, Pt mine all'sgua peridnora. Meantime it would seem that Count Rossi, formerly so prominent, had gone to sleep or winked at the whale affair. The general cry among intelligent Romans is why England allows the continental powers to play ducks and drakes with the freedom of shispeninsula, far more important to them in the earning events of Europe, than the worn-out Spanish peal rela for which they lavished blood and treasure. • Tsa dad not be surprised if the official journals Leak Philippe attempt to deny the existence of awl plot, inasmuch as the old gentleman who carried as umbrella is probably at the bottom of the whole berimess. Like Titus Oates, be will, no doubt, attempt to say they are 'tilting the plot ; and stifle it he will if he can. Minardi," the spy," was captured yesterday; and his mime is considered of importance, as he is sure to tura " Pope's evidence." The search after him was the mad exciting thing imaginable : 6,000 citizens bad sworn to find him out, and the only scene like it I may be found in Cobbett's famous account of a rat hunt on the moving of the corn stacks. At last Cicero-Vihachio rot hold of his dog, and by the in stinct of the canine brute they ferreted him out and lodged him safe in prison. I subjoin an official document, the circular of the new Secretary of State on assuming office : It was *great consolation for the Holy Father to see that, docile to the voice of religion end to the exhortations of mon signor the pro-governor, his beloved people of Rome have so immediately relinquished all thoughts of perMsting is an enterprbe against certain individuals. prompted by a mis taken zeal for public order.

The murderer has not been arrested, but everything that has transpired leads to a belief that it was a Pole of the Greek religion, who assisted the deceased in his functions. He had either been dismissed or had been threatened with dismissal for immoral conduct, and had menaced vengeance. INDIA. BOMBAY, JUNE 19. The Bombay letter-writers for the London press have lately been sadly chagrined and annoyed at hearing that the productions of their pens despatched from Bombay by express for Madras on the 3rd of June, to meet the Cal cutta steamer touching at that port about the 10th, had fallen into far different hands from those for which they were intended,—the post haviug been robbed at the top of the Bhore Gbaut (about half-way betwixt Penwell and Poonah), the day after it left Bombay, and the letters either all destroyed or made away with. 1 - he plunderers made a clean sweep of it, not a single letter having since been heart of. A second express left on the sth, but great fears ass entertained that it would reach Madras after the steamer had left, as it was not possible it could be conveyed to that place in lees than six days. (It did not reach till twenty hours after the Bentinek had sailed.) We are consequently forestalled by a fortnight with news even from our own doors. The governor left for the Deccan on the 3rd inst., and the commander-in-chief next day. They remain at Poonah till October, when they take a trip to the Mahabuleshwar Hills, previous to returning to Bombay. Dr. Reba's, of the Artillery, smoker esteemed member of our society, has paid the last debt of nature. He had been ailing for a considerable time, and been to the Cape, from whence he had not long returned. The cause of death was a gangrene of the foot. He died on the sth instant. The " coal conspiracy" ease is to be tried at the criminal ses sions, which commence on the sth proximo. The parties implicated is the alleged fraud are persons of respectability, and the ere has caused a great sensation. The investigations which have already taken place have disclosed a greatdegree of carelessness on the part of some of the naval authorities. The superintendent of the Indian nary would seem deter mined to sift the matter to the bottom. The monsoon set in, in earnest on the morning of the 2nd, and up to this morning no less than twenty-two inches of rain have fall's, ten of theirs having fallen on the 12th. The amount eel. lected in Bombay for the suffering Irish and Scotch has reached the sum of 9,9001. and odd. Sunday last was set apart as a day of fast and humiliation throughout India ern. I sequent on the dreadful afflictions under which our fellow. countrymen have been sneering. The sermon preached In the cathedral by the Venerable Archdeacon Jeffreys gave great offence to his hearers, the reverend gentleman attri buting the ills under which Ireland in particular has been suffering to the improper use to which the people had put the grain grown in the country, viz. converting it into spi rituous liquor, to the destruction of both their bodies and wen. You probably know that the venerable gentleman is the " Father Mathew "of the East. In his zeal for the cause of temperance he seems to have overstepped the bounds of charity at least. Dr. Herbert Giraud has been ap pointed Professor of Chemistry to the Elphinstone col lege he hes for a length of time held the same appointment in the Grant Medical College, and has become a very - popular lecturer.

The gentleman who has since founded the Polytechnic Institute, had then ajob at his disposal, which he offered to give the institution to print, and which would have given • clear pro fit of several - hundred pounds sterling, though by so doing he would be Rimer himself to a considerable amount. The scheme suggested to government was, at the time, either re jected or shown a cold shoulder but it has been announced by the Times that they have at length agreed to it, and the government printing establishment is accordingly to beamed over to the school. The value of the boon thus conferred on the orphans reared in their school by government Is at it one. Hitherto, the lads were taught no trade or handicraft whatever at the age of 14 they generally left the school to seek their fortune either as soldiers or clerks—not &tithe of them knowing where or how they were to gain their livelihood. A few have occasionally been bound to tradesmen, or as medical apprentices—the latter only doing any I good for themselves. In addition to typography, the arta of woodcutting, lithography, &e., are to be taught the be> s, so ' that when the time comes round that they must leave the school they will have learnt a trade whereby to gain an honest livelihood. Col. Outram has assumed charge of his duties as resident at the court of the Guicowar of Baroda. It would be well were he appointed to that of the Nisam in place of the present incumbent, who is extremely unpopular with ' the ruler of the Deccan. He would, I have no doubt, in a short time bring about a reformation in Hyderabad affairs alike beneficial to the sove reign and the people. Them is a talk of • " Bombay S pinning and Wearing Company " being about to be formed here, with a capital of 50,0001., for the purpose of " mauufacturiag cotton fabrics from the raw material on the spot by means of machinery imported from Europe."

The Peninsular and Oriental Com. pony's steamer, Lady Mary Weed, is at present undergoing repair. —The ship Templar, while being piloted out of the harbour, on the 9th, took the ground on a reef near Gibbet ' Island, but she luckily sustained ne damage.

The de raise of • member of the royal family immediately after , the assumption of office by • new Resident is looked on by the superstitions natives as eminently inauspicious. Her Highness the Baize Blume, of °wailer, for some time a pensioner on government, residing at Remick, but latterly a wanderer over the face of the country, has just had a bed stead of pure silver constructed in Bombay, at • cost of 2,0001., to be presented to her daughter on her marriage with the young Maharajah of Gwalior. The Baize Bhaee has been accused in the Bombay Times, by Col. J. Sherrill of the Bombay army, with having seized on the property of the son of her late treasurer, amounting to 2,000,0001., the child having been detained by her for some time in clam confinement up to his death, in June, 1816. She may well afford to bestow silver bedsteads on her daughter later this. She is under the surveillance of a British corn ini,sioner (Major Stevens), whe constautly attends her in her peregrinations. her camp is said to contain nearly 8,000 voids, 2,000 of whom ate armed men. Major-Oi.u. las retuned to his arnimml at Helens ; and Brigadier- General Hughes, of the northe rn division of the army, who hes nearly reeeiered ISM his late Hears illness, has left Mababuleshwar far Paseih, where he intends spending a short time, and Os Untamed to join his command in Goose rat. Two hisses eUZ„,ll.'s 28th (Lieut. Loinsworth and Ensign Collins), on tide way to Bombay from Deese, were set on by robbers user Ewa* and both severely wounded. They defended themselves' with sticks and a sword, killing two of their assailants. They were rescued by some villagers and carried into camp at Baroda, where they are now out of danger. The new infantry retiring fund for the purchasing out of lieutenant-eolonels has commenced operations—two applications for the bonus, 2,0001., having been made and sesapted. The scheme has been agreed to by twenty-six sat of the thirty. four regiments composing the Bombay army. The acceleration to promotion expected from the operations of the fund is said to be great, and from the com mittee of management every exertion may be confidently expected. The introduction of windmills into Western India, under the auspices of the founder of the Poly technic Institute (Dr. Buist), proceeds apace: one of large size has been erected in the i'arell Gardens, and is said to answer remarkably well—being employed to raise water from the lake behind Government-house fur garden ass. Several dozens of models have been sent through the country to parties desiring them ; and there is little doubt but that in a comparatively short time their me will become general. Sir E. Perry, chief juetioe, has declined entering further into the late opium case till the opinion of the privy council on the decision referred to them be made known. The course is a wise one, and will save a world of troutle to the court. eans. Ritchie, Stewart, and Ce. have been appointed agents for the Austrian Lloyd's Steam Navigation Company, at Bombay, and the gentleman who came out to establish the agency (Mr. Smart), returns to Europe by this day's steamer. But little sickness prevails at present in any part of the presidency of Bombay. The cultivators are all busy tilling and sowing . their land. Should the fall of rain have been as abundant inland as it has been on the sea-coast, their prospects of an abundant harvest will he bright. Trade is, es a matter of course, entirely suspended with the coast end the Interior. The stock of cotton warehoused for the rains is said to amount to a hundred thousand bales. This enor mous stock is owing to the high prices demanded by holders for their cotton, and till the rains are ever there will be but little done in this article, as, in addition to former high prices, holders now lay on the warehouse rent—no small sum in Bombay. It is thought, however, that a reduction in price will be submitted to by the cotton merchants, rather than rune the risk of its being damaged by the rains. The money market is reported as " very easy." Madras, as usual, scarcely furnishes a single item of inte rest to the home reader. The decision of the court of directors has been given against the governor's recommenda tion of the introduction of the bible as a clue-book into the government native schools at that presidency, and their decision is a wise one. First, we must give the natives , secular instruction, leaving it to the course of events, slowly, but surely, to open their eyes to the absurdity of their own systems of religion. Once let it be imagined that we are educating them with a view of overturning their creeds, sad our schools would soon be deserted, for the parents of She children would sooner they remained in utter ignorance thaw slow them to obtain education which would make them apostatise from the rel:gion of their ancestors. The mi teat on this subject by the Marquis of Tweeddale was surrep titiously published in the Calcutta Etagliihman, some cleri cal errors in the copy published having cured a considerable amount of animadversion.—The lease of the Cochrane Canal, constructed by a gentleman of that name in 1801, expires in October, when the canal reverts to the government. A revenue of nearly 1,200/. a year is derived by tolls paid by the boats which ply on its water*.—The condition of the Bank of Madras is said to be anything but flourishing, and it has been re ported that the Court of Directors have signified to the mana gers their displeasure at the manner in which, from the commencement, its affairs have been conducted. The pre mium on its shares has only as yet reached eighteen percent. —lOO,OOOl. has been supplied by the Madras treasury to that of Bombay; other 100,0001. are said to bo laid by for the same destination when the seams allows of its shipment. Bombay used at one time to pay its own expenses, and have a surplus, too, for the general treasury—that time being prior to the annexation of Seinde to the Indian empire; so long as it is retained will Bombay be constrained to borrow from its neighbours what sight to be expended by them is the improvement of their own districts.—A melancholy and fatal accident happened to Captain T. Jones, of H. M. 94th foot, on the 28th Mny, that officer being killed by a fall from his horse. The subjoined notices of his death do honour to the writers equally with their subject, and cannot be too highly praised—more particularly the former from "a pri vate of the regiment."

Yon will be sorry to hear that matters have assumed a worse aspect than ever in the Goomsoor districts, where human sacrifices (Meriahs) have again been made to the earth goddess by the hill tribes, as an earnest of the sincerity of the alliance recently formed betwixt them and the inha bitants of the plains, the latter contenting themselves by the slaughter of a buffalo. Brigadier Dyce, at would appear, at once, on winning command an the country, set anent re versing the policy of his predecessor, Captain Macpherson, during the latter part of whose sway human sacrifices had been emir. ly abolished—a large number of those condemned to the altar having been rescued by him from their bloody fate. For these poor wretches (upwards of a hundred) the utmost anxiety prevails. The celebrated cbicf, Choler. Ma shy., is now said to be at the head of 13,000 Khonds, to oppose to whom we have only one sickly native corps . (the 18th) in the country. Not only have the Khonds of the Bud district joined the rebel leader, hut those of the hills and plains of Goomsoor hare alto enrolled them- Sarni under his banner, numbers of them from fear ai I s unsequences of refuting to aid him in his out rages spinet us. they having been left by us wholly at his mercy. One of the chiefs of Bud who had held out in our favour has had several of his villages burnt by the rebels, which has also heva the fate of several villages is Tentilghur, for a like adherence to us. Small detachment, of our troops have been sent to the scenes of these depreda tions—a company to this place, and another to that but of what use they can be as problematical. Brigadier Dyes would seem to have been too confident in his anticipations of speedily quieting this ill-feted country, he having said that in three weeks he would " catch Chokes Bisakye, after which he designed having a grand assembly of the chiefs, 1 whereat all the officers from Rusaelcondah were to have ap peared in full dress, in order to make an impression on the Kbonds." In place of this, the whole country lb again in a blue; human sacrifices have been again offered up; those before favourable to us have joined the ranks of the rebels; the cultivators have fled the country, and the ground is conse quently left nntilled—the ruins all around testifying to the vengeance taken by the rebels on those we had left unpro- tected ! The picture is a painful one, but only such es might have beeneopected from the withdrawal of all our troops frost the country. A Mr. Grant, of the Bengal civil service, now employed at Mysore, has been appointed commissioner to in quire into the case of the late agent, Capt. Macpherson, and his assistants, who had been so unceremoniously dismissed from their situations. It is to he hoped Mr. Grant will make such a report to the supreme government as will cause Lord Hsrdinge to exert his powerful mind to devise a speedy remedy for the present miserable state of Goomsoor. It Is universally acknowledged that, since Captain Macpherson's removal, the state of the districts has become infinitely wore* than ever it was ; and how could any other result be expected when inexperienced (in Khond affairs at least) Ma were ordered to supersede a man like the late agent, who had been for years in the country, and had already done so mach for its amelioration—under whose sway human saerilius had been, for some time, entirely abolished, and who bad persuaded the Khonds to deliver up to him upwards of a hundred of their destined Meriah victims ? The reasons ()fhb dismissal have never been mode public, probably for the best of all possible causes—there were none to publish ! Yon will have heard from Madras; by the mail of the 10th, of the settling down of affairs in the Nizam's dominions, in se far as the alleged mutiny of the troops was concerned. The farce enacted at Hyderabad in May in some re equals that at Canton in April—only there Sir J. Davis eetered on his expedition of his own free will, so far as is known; while here our resident was fairly gulled by the Nizam's prime minister. I indeed of an entry into Hydera bad having been wished for by the King, it turned oat that he was beyond measure incensed at the pr,cedure ; he con sider ng tt u a breach of the treaty whereby we guar's toad him his independence. Our troops were three days in the town, during which time they were insulted in every possible manner by the Line-wallahs, or city battalions, whose only aim seemed to be to provoke eouflict. Had strife commeaced, what could a wing of a European and two native corps do against upwards of 10,000 disciplined mer cenaries, who would fight to the death rather than quit I their homes and their arms—especially cooped up u they would have been in a city every house of which is provided with oopholes, from which they could be sniped off without perceliviog their destroyers ? What but the loor holed homes ' an K helat occasioned the lea Sir T. Wilshire* brigade aut. fend in capturing that city in 1839 ? It was u ill-advised a measure taking troops into Hyderabad as it was uncalled for. The line-wallahs had been kept out of nearly a twelve• month's wages by the minister, and because they were de termined on seeking their dues we were called in to aid In the fraud being practised on them—a tale very similar to a falsehood being palmed on General Fraser to obtain the de sired object. There can be little doubt the Nies= himself was at the bottom of the whole affair, as ho detests the minister we have forced on him, and cordially hates his nominator. General Fraser. however, showed his wisdom in not attempting to coerce the mutineers: he Vase they had brut unfairly dealt with, sad at mice r'emit• mended conciliatory rather than hostile measures to be pursued towards them. Some battalion or two accepted their stream, laid down their arms, and disbanded ; the re mainder would not listen to the minister's promise•, and still retain their old position. Our troops were, meanwhile, ordered back to Secunderabad. And thus the matter re mains with regard to the mutineers." We certainly gained no credit by marching into and then marching out or Hyder abad, leaving things as we found them ; but it cannot be disputed that it was the best thing that could be done under the circumstances. Under the provocation received it could not have been wondered at bad our troops resented it : and had thee done so the results would have been tearful. The time will come, I dare say, when these line-wallabs will require to be expelled the country, but for our credit's sake let is be prepared to do so in an effectual manner, and not expose a handful of brave men to inevitable de struction. A loan of 500,0001. h.sa been catered into by the minister with a joint-stock banking company, raised for the purpose, at the head of which is a gentleman named Dighton, who of late rare bee been much mixed up in Ilyderabad affairs, end who would appear to have amused a princely fortune by his speculations in money matters in the Deccan. The company have had a considerable part of the country made over to them from the revenues of which to pay themselves the interest (12 per cent.) on the loan, and a considerable sum yearly besides, in part payment of the principal. The Nizarn's authority as an independent printes will ►t this rate soon come to an end in semblance, as it has long since done in reality ; and the sooner this happens the better will it he for his country. It is ridiculous to talk of our not being justified in interfering in his affairs because we have guaranteed his independence in times past. If be is unable to manage his own affairs, we should relieve him of the troubll of attempting it. And such should be the case with every state within our do minions which occasioned us trouble or annoyance; beyond them we should not look till compelled by aggression to pro tect ourselves. " 3' -- ---___ Prom other pare of India the news is unimportant. The governor-neural is said to have tip` ciaty invited 8:r John Littler to Simla, and the gallant general accord ingly reached that place on the 4th just. In • former letter I mentioned my suspicions es to the reductions in the army, which would be concocted at Simla betwixt the governor general and the commander-in-chief. Of the reduction of the native army by about 50,000 men you have already heard. Orden have lately been issued for the disbanriment of nearly all the police and other lace' battalions existing on and along the frontier, as also the artillery of the Shekawetree brigade. To all this I would not much object, though the wisdom of throwing such a large number of men trained to arms, and knowing no other trade by which to gain their bread, on the world, to take service with the first who may inquire them, be they friends or enemies, may well he questioned : but the reduction of the number of European corps of H.M.'s ser vice serving in India from 24 to IS i., in my bumble opinion, carrying things too far. Six regiments of in fantry are to be sent home directly—three from Bengal, two from Madras, and one from Bombay; besides, I be hese, a dragoon regiment from the former. It is well to reduce our expenditure as much as possible, but should we ever again require to meet an enemy such as the Settles, we may find to our sorrow that the denudation of India of Eu ropean troops was the antiporles of an economical measure. I am no alarmist; but still I think you will agree with me that in the multitude of white faces in India consists our strength. Reduce the native army by a fourth if you wit, but weaken not your European force, would be my advice to the court of directors. We are now in the midst of profound peace; but who can tell how long this will lut ? We should be always prepared for the worst, even though that state of preparation should prove rather expensive. There are many ways of reducing the expenthe of the country besides that of diminishing our European force, and it were well they should como under the pruning-hook rather than that about to do no. The domestic news from the City of Palaces to the 3rd will have reached you a fortnight before thin, no I will not attempt a repetition here. The freebooter Doonghur Singh, of whom we had heard nothing for a long time, has again appeared on the stage, though he has changed the scene of his operations. The robber (some of the English papers imagine him to be a celebrated chief, possessed of thousands of followers, stirring on the different native powers to rebellion !) has become waaton in hie aggresaione, as will be seen from the followihe letter front a correspondent of the Delhi Gazette of the Ot`i hut.

A Bargbeerbad collected about 70 or 80,000 mounds of grass near Loehmunghur, for the use of the bores in the stable of the ltae Rajah of Seekue. About eight dare ago some Droves arrived on camels and set fire to the stacks; they continued burning fur three day, and mane huts In the neighbourhood were burnt with them. After setting fire to the stacks the Dakoos went to tits house of Prom Seokh (has Seth, demanding 20,000 re. if he did nut wi-la to .4•G Luchmuntrhur nerved a, Ramghur bad been some time Wore. The =lets of the band of robbers have declared moreover that as roan a. . the troops are eithdrawe they will take good ear to percent the people from cultivating their landa, and were determined to effect this by burning their plough., and driving away their bullocks. The Maharajah of Nepaul is said to have made a full stop at Segowlee, being rather uncertain of the manner in which he would be received by his loving spouse, he having been again caught intriguing with certain parties at his capital to have certain parties, favourites of his wife, removed from this transitory world prior to his arrival at Kattnandoo. It is hinted that he has applied for aesistauce from us, but Lori Hardinge is of the wrong stamp to seek for quarrels: his enemies say ' when they are forced on him he hardly makes as much of them as he might or ought!—and cite the late campaign in the Punjaub as an example. A political em bassy to Lama, in Thibet, is said to have been determined ea! An officer who lately reached as far as the Lake Man earowar is reported as having been appointed to the mission, a medical officer being also attached. The truth, or other wise, of this report will soon become known. There is scarcely an item of news to detail from Scinde. The time for the governor's retirement is believed to be drawing near ; and it is hoped, that with that event will arrive a termination to our connexion with the country—a consummation devoutly to be wished for; hut I fear oar hopes on this head are destined to be blighted. Sir C. Na pier continues as well and active as ever at Clifton. A camp for a wing of • European corps . has been ordered to be pitched at Ghislee, where the regiments are to be quartered for a fortnight at a time; thus allowing of all enjoying the benefit of a change of climate. Bathing in the sea at Clifton has also been allowed to the European soldiers—on one occasion remelting fatally to one of the 60th Rifles, who got out of his depth and was drowned. Mr. Gordon, of the Indus Flotilla, who had ordered the Siddies to be shot at Sukkur in April last, was about to be tried at Kurraehee; but his acquittal of the charge of march r was confidi-ntli expected. Sukkur had been unusually gay ; Meer Ali Moored, of Kliyr pore sharing in the festivities, apparently enjoying the chain pagne provided by his hosts. Shikarpore had been consti tuted the head-quarters of the troops in Upper Sande, Col. Shaw, of the Ilth N. 1., being appointed to the command of the brigade.
