LONDON, MONDAY, OCTODN.R 4. V Tits news from Belgium is calculated to allay, in some degree, the anxiety created by the recent re **nation of the ministry to that country. We now learn the probability of the Liberal party being able to regain its position—all the stronger for re cent difficulties. Its opponents were conside rably startled by the refusal, in the first place, of M. DELAILAN 3 to accept office ; and in the next place, by the rorogation of the Chamber till the pith inst. Meanwhile the Opposition will have the constitutional opportunity of showing what power they may have for terming a ministry. Coder all circumstances there is no doubt but King Lrorot.n will act in a perfectly constitu tional manner, and that the full weight of his expm rience, and the full power of that shrewdness for which ho has always been remarkable, will be brought into play. The anecdote is now being repeated that describes his conduct in 18414, when the fumes of that latest revolution in Paris reached Brussels, and the republicans of the Fle mish capital began at once to meet and to calculate how soon the French Republic was to be followed byre Belgian—to match. In 1830, the over throw of Cu sates X. had been followed by the establishment of Belgium as an independent kingdom; why, therefore. it was argued, should not the installation of Louis BLANC in power in l'iurs be succeeded by an equal elevation of some of his Flemish admirers? The news of this plotting soon reached the ears of the King, who sent at once for his advisers and for some of the extreme liberals, and rumour thus recounts the royal speech on the occasion :—" Gentlemen," said the King, " I hear the plans arc in progress to upset the monarchy and establish a republic. Pray let the trouble be spared. I was invited to take the crown of Belgium. Only let me know your wishes, and I am ready to relic at once it it be wise to do so. There shall be no blood shed on my account." This busi ness-like speech settled the whole revolution. The same common-sense and independence is doubtless quite equal to existing emergencies, and we may pro bably be amused by much Belgian political hubbub, but have no cause for alarm as to any real difficulties. Our contemprniries have been discussing the re signation of M. !tor:intend his colleagues in a very semis spirit ; and one of them has ran over the list of fortresses now existing in the realms of King Ltoroxn, with an eye to the consequences of any advance of the French in that quarter. The very naming of those Belgian Urdlled places and fiat plains sends a thrill through those who know the talus of pence to the prom's el the civilisation of the world. Those forums" retell a @arise of battles and sieges, from the victories of MARL BOROUGH to the last straggle of Wm.- LIMA . ° X at Waterloo. Belgium has, imbed, been the battle-field of Europe ; and, taw pily, may be so again. She has no einmel frmtier—no ]thine, no Jura, no Pyrenees. ilis le herself rather the frontier of the (Jerman stale— rude a frontier to them by her strongholds, Iliono, Tourney, Antwerp, Namur, Buy, and the rest. Her independence after the revolution of 1830 was, in truth, sanctioned by other countries merely that she might be a distinct community once more, active and mammal, and prompt to check any sudden advance by the French upon the Rhine. This was only a revival of the old European theory that dated back to the peace of Utrecht. A . few months ago there wee an obvious and notorious change mode en the French side of the frontier. Bohn that time the Republic had comparatively In keeps there, but this scant supply was suc ceeds& by a complete glut. Lille, Valenciennes, and every ether aveihnie point was crowded with French sadism, weedy of nurse, if such were their orders, at the mend el the bugle to ones the line. This con. sealistire et fine was setheient to excite notice, but mat ahem.

It wee thee remembered the the Liberals were ambled to int the revolmite of 1830 by the aid of the pigle t Mite bated Prebmtent Holland. Having heed thew selves from the Government of the Hague, tbs.* same clerks' intriguers were evidently kiting towards France, and when Louts liaol.lloll began to patronise the Church, and the Church to esdor seina Lorts NAPOLEON, it was noted that the Party in Belgium mod still more ilindiff le the tiormant of the Elyria.

Amongst this "Belgian" party—ea °premed to priests and Frenchmen—it is believed the siffitem may be included. The army, if all called out, WWI master about 80,000 strong—no mean force—to width, in the event of a struggle, there is little doubt but • Netherlands reinforcement would be added. Antwerp and the other fortresses could be fully garrisoned without foreign aid of any kind--at least until Europe had had ample time to declare an opinion upon any step which should make war necessary. That step, however, is not yet, nor is likely, to be taken. The priests have • very temporary triumph, for the 28th of October promises to solve the temporary difficulties in which the Belgian Liberals have been involved. Tna temporary retirement of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUILR for the purposes of incubation has afforded an unusual opportunity for the smaller offi cials to come out at tho various agricultural meet ings which are usually held at thi• time of the r e er si a...n The ..ut:rroa-GaNZBAL has blown some pounce into the eyes of tho Suffolk Farmers at Framliogham, an operation which appears not to have given them so much relief as they desired. Mr. lIENI.LY has discovered at Banbury that the, Reform Bill is the cause of all our evils, and that to employ a great amount of labour at low wagts u the most expensive labour which= be employed. But it has been reserved for the Right Hon. WILLLUI BUISOZOAD to make the most remarkable coalession whist hae as yet proceeded from the Tory Cabinet. At the anniversary of the Dunmow Agricultural sad Labourers' Friend Society the pliant Major opened the proseediags with a speech which did honour to YE; beldam. It will be remembered that twice dais' the present year the BECIZTAILT AT Was has bad to meet his constituents for re-eleetion, and that on both occasions be stigmatised the crowd who had assembled, and who did not muck relish his elegem*, with the mild epithets of " rabble," " the vilest rabble he ever saw." We do not know whether this language, de; livered with tones and gesteses worthy of Bedlam, with frothing lip, glaring eye, and clenched fist—for so it was—constituted NIA* BEZZIIFORDII *WAS to open the proceedings of a society which has for its professed object the distribution of a few trumpery rewards to the hard-worked and ill-paid Mowers who toil on the Brox clays—and whisk serves indirectly as a club where small Tory squires and Der its parsons may bees sad bluster under tho iatemes of pabliebouse pert sad political excitement. Be this as it aiff, lifter BISEIVOID was the tees et the meas. Be l ord less lb hearers the geed the misty was b eveled b do them by promoting their aualbete and stimulating their industry, a sentiment whisk does not appear to have been reseived with very rest es thusissm by the " vile rabble," one of wbolikast having the fear of his mutter before his eyes, uttered a cry of " Raise oar wages." To this the gallant Major, haunted no doubt by the nuns evil genius which attended him at Braintree, called out, "If the labourers had things at a much cheaper rate, and had nearly the same wages, they were in a much beller condition shoe tag were before :" and on a repetition of the interruption by a cry of " I get only seven shillings," he abso lutely clinched the nail by these remarkable words —" Yost are much better off with sere* eliallinp now than with nine shillings before." Why, is sot this the very sentiment which Protectionist squares in triple row absolutely hooted at when it from the mouths of I.Preetraders, and yet t proceededei TART AT WAR has the frailty to let the cat out of the bag, and avow his belief that the a gri cultural laboulur is better off under Free-trade than he was under Protection. There is something satisfactory in this avowal,'' coming from such a quarter; and we cannot help being also gratified at seeing some awkward at tempts on the part of the speaker to explain away his outrageous conduct at Braintree. We rejoice at it—not because it shows any sincere repentance on the part of Major BERLSPORD, for no one could sus pect him of any such feeling—but because it is evi dent that such conduct on tho part of a Cabinet Minister is damaging to the party to which he be =As moon as Parliament meets, the Braintree will have their revenge; and if they could see the spetsele of a Benesronn-bait— such as will no desil be exhibited in that assembly—they would about forgive their maligner. We trust, however, that there will he no delay in tho inquiry, as we have a shrewd suspicion that it will not be long before a snug Colonial appointment may enable the gallant Major to relieve the Cabinet and the country from a presence which is as damaging to tho one as it is un satisfactory to the other.

Montpellier, Sept. 28, 8 a.m. The Prince, after the dinner at the Prefecture, went to the ball at this theatre, where his highness wee hailed with enthusiasm. He walked round the rooms, saluted by the Wits and gentlemen with env', a thousand times repeated, of " Viva l'lfimperear ! " The Marseilles plot is everywhere turned to ac count by the prefects and mayors to excite the enthu siasm of the population. At Aix, as elsewhere, there were plenty of cries of " Vive l'Empereur," but they were from the functionaries, the troops, and the pea sants, and not from the townspeople, who were com paratively indifferent to what WY peeing, showing themselves but little at the windows, and even re maining covered in the streets when the President passed. The Archbishop of Aix had assembled seve ral bishops, and the ftte had altogether the "theme character of the middle ages. The clergy, in order to strike the imagination of the inhabitants of the country districts, had endeavoured to surround the at. with a religious pomp. They had organised the Me du Roi Rene, which in that superstitious and Legitimist city holds the place of the Fate Dien in ether places, and they reinvented the mysteries of religion commingled with mythological subjects ; thus, there might be seen together King Herod, the three Magi, Queen Sheba in company with Jupiter, Venus, and the three Zephyrs. Amongst the mem bers of the episcopal bench present at Aix are the Archbishop of Bordeaux, the Bishv of Marseille', the Bishop of Dijos,_ a nd the B ish op of Ajsemo.

M. le Prefet,—The tour which the Prince Proident bee undertaken, and which he is now making amidst the acclamations of ell France, is one of those events which must leave durable traces in the recollections and hearts of the people.

It desires that all those documents, re plete with truly national interest, may form a complete whole, which will remain in each department as one of the most precious monuments in its archives. You will be happy, M. le Prefect, to associate yourself with this idea. I rely upon your aid in the realisation of it within a short period. Itccieve, dc., The Minister of the Interior, F. Da PllftetONT. The telegraphic despatches in the Moniteur, de scribing the reception of the President at Mont pelier, are unusually curt, and wholly devoid of in- I tercet. They state that ho was received with cries of " Vice l'Empereur ;" but it appears from pri vate letters that the reception was exceedingly bad. Cries of " Vivo l'amneetie" were uttered with such energy that the Prince felt compelled to notice them. He addressed the crowd to the effect that ho was desirous to grant an amnesty if the conduct of the intern'', should be such as to enable him to do with a duo regard to the public safety. It is re ported in Paris that telegraphic despatches received to-day have been suppressed.

The Cburrier de Lyon nays that an important ar rest connected with the Marseilles plot has been made at St. Etienne. Two individuals, accused of having taken part in the conspiracy and who bad fled, have been discovered by the police. The in spector-general of the ministry of police immediately went to St. Etienne. Intelligence of some importance in the present state of the relations between France and Belgium is contained in the Libertl, of Lille : It would ap that the miners of the Mons coal-pits have nimikeftd an intention to cross the frontier and com mit dimaiewC in Francs. Orders have in consequent bees net to the military eommandaata of the Moder tam. A part of the garrison at Lille is new abbe& to barracks, so u to be ready to march in emu of sessany.

The political opponents of M. Rogier still accuse him of throwing obstacles in the way of the forma tion of a new cabinet, through the desire to bo con sidered the necessary the indispensable man of the , situation. That accusation, however, is thoroughly unfounded, and the proof that such is the case will be found in the following letter addressed by his Belgian Majesty to M. Rosier, shortly after the former resignation of that distinguished statesman : My dear Minister,—l sent for you yesterday in order to offer you the mission of re-constituting the cabinet. You set forth the matins which determined you to decline the mission, under existing circumstances, and you advised me to have recourse to other political men belonging to the opinion of the parliamentary majority, promising to give them your support. I observed to you that I had already summoned M. Lebeau and M. Leclereq, and that both begged to be excused on diverse grounds, although I gave them fell powers. You then insisted on my applying to other men of the same political nuance. It results from all this that I am not able just now to proceed to the definitive formation of a new cabinet. Nevertheless the com mercial negotiations with France requires prompt solution. As that affair was commenced by the present cabinet, bo lero it tendered its resignation, and continued after that step, it appears to me desirable and necessary that the same cabinet should carry on the negotiations to their ter mination; consequently I write to beg of you to under take that charge. Tho peculiar situation in which the cabinet is placed _appears to me to raise no obstacles to your consent, particularly as we are entirely agreed as to the course to be punned. Rest persuaded of the sincere seati meats I entertain in your behalf. (Signed) LeOPOLD. It will be seen, therefore, from the foregoing letter that so far from being desirous of thrusting himself again into office, M. ltogier earnestly implored his Majesty to summon other men to his councils, pro mising to give them his support. The liberal party here hopes and believes in its own reconstitution, and the establishment of another liberal government. SPAIN. Our accounts from Madrid are of the 26th ult.

He spoke for five hours, during which he was patiently listened to by the court and the auditory. After having replied to the accusations of the public prosecutor against some acts of his youth, he explained his political conduct in 1848. He declared that during the dis turbances which took place in Leghorn during that year, he used all his exertions to restore order and Obedience to the government. The President having asked him whether he had ever exercised any public functions in Tuscany, he replied that he had been elected • deputy to the Council-General and Constitutional Minister of the Grand Duke and a member of the Provisional Government after the de parture of his Sovereign ; and, finally, chief of the executive power by a decree of the Constituent As sembly of Tuscany. He added that he was ever loyal to his Prince, and that he had even entertained the idea of having been appointed King of Central Italy, if Providence had aided his efforts to free Italy, and that a new division of the Italian States had been effected. He likewise referred to Manini, and blamed his policy, which he said showed a perfect ignorance of men and measures. GERMANY. THE ZOLLVEREIN. The Neue Preussische Zeitung publishes the follow ing despatch, addressed by the Prussian government to the Prussian representatives at the different go vernments of the Zollverein : In the declaration made by the Prussian government to the Customs Conifer, in its sitting of the 30th of August last, it pointed out the necessity of fining, in a prase and legal meaner the extent of the futon, customs union and at the same time expressed the hops that in the first fort night of September en answer would be given upon • com mon bear so much desired for negotiations, without which the Premien government could not MUM the dabber lions.

Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Madru arrived this morning from the Levant. The only matter of interest since my last is an act of high police exercised by the Governor, supposed to haw, acted in this instance under the influence of the Austrian and Narks consul.: it is no less than the ordering Mr. A. Lemny, late secretary to Kossuth, to leave the island within fifteen days. The Governor has refused to give any reason, so that beyond a surmise that it is owing to Lemny having published a book, in which he has been reviewing the state of the continent as regards the elements of rovo lution in Europe, nothing is known.

Letters from the Belgian frontier state that it is difficult to form an idea of the extraordinary impulse given by Louis Napoleon's decree of the 14th ult. to the trades in coal and iron up to the lit inst., the date marked for the imposi tion of the higher duties. Every coalowner was naturally anxious to profit at the same time by the delay of 16 days, during which it was permitted to input into France iron and coal on the conditions of the old tariff.

The dates are Bombay, Sept. 1, Calcutta, August 19. Our Bombay correspondent writes as follows:- 130MBAY, &WT. 1. The Governor-General returned to Calcutta from Rangoon on the 6th inst., when immediate orders appear to have been sent to Madras to hasten the despatch of one of the two brigades destined fur ser vice with General Godwin. This is to be taken round by the steamers Feroze and Hugh :Lindsay, with a few transports ; and the Bengal brigade was at the same time directed to make all haste to Cal cutta for embarkation. Brigadier-General Steele is to command the Madras division ; Brigadiers M. ith N. 1., and Franklyn, 8 ttli Foot, the two Madras brigades about to start for Burmah, with Capts. C. F. Seymour, 84th Foot, and T. Haines, 19th N. 1., as brigade-majors. All the officers on staff employ belonging . to the different corps have been ordered to rejoin immediately. The reinforce ment consisted of : Men. lat Bengal European Fainter% say 9:5 0. 19th Bengal N. 1 9OO 37th Ditto 9OO Regiment of Loodhiana BOO 4th Stith LIXIIi Corps BOO C. Troop Hone ArtiTleri B. Ditto ditto Kharkana, No. 8 lOO Sappers and Miners l2B Her Majesty's 84th Foot. 9OO lit European Fusiliers 960 19th M. N. 1 9OO 30th Ditto 46th Ditto 9OO Total 9,168 Or probably in all full 10,000 men. The General had before close on 12,000 with him. On the ar rival of the first brigade from Madras, a force of 1,700 men (the 18th Royal Irish and a Native corps) is to push on to Prome, capture and hold it as the advanced post of the army. General Godwin is said to have been averse to any movement till November, or till the whole reinforcement had joined him, but the Governor-General is believed to have overruled him, with the consent of the Commodore and the other head military men at Rangoon. The General seems to be one of the old slow and sure school, but the danger to be incurred from sickness (already beginning to show itself to a large extent) in a large standing camp after the rains in a swampy country like Ourmah, has determined the Governor- General todirect an immediate movement in advance. Another cause which led to the resolution was the daily received reports of the terrible cruelties inflicted by the Burmese troops on the people of I'egu and Promo, and every other place who had held friendly intercourse with us. The poor people were crying aloud to us for protection from their oppressors, and would wo be sinless in refusing to listen to them? . Certainly not; and a heavy responsibility rests on those who sent parties of our troops and seamen to the cities of Pcgu and Prome, and then withdrew them again, thereby exposing oar friends to the re venge of merciless wretches, who were too cowardly to stand before us, but who delight in shedding the blood of their defenceless countrymen. There can be no doubt that the whole country, from Ran goon to Promo and round by Bassein, will be annexed, and that en army of at least fifteen thousand meu will require to be kept in it for years to come. Several faint attacks had been made on the garrison at Mar taban, but our troops no sooner showed themselves than the enemy cut for it. Really it is almost a farce to call the present "fire and run" system of the Burmese by the name of war; a tremendous force is, however, said to be collected near Prome, and slaughter on a large scale on their side is looked for when the 18th Royal Irish get amongst them. AU along the banks of the river close to Promo there are said to be guns in abundance placed in command ing positions, so as to sweep our steamers from the river before we know where we are. If the Burmese had but the tact and the o pluck," Ili an Irishman would say, nothing would be easier than to annihi late us on the river, but by their ignorance and want of courage have we so far succeeded, and so will we go on and conquer, till we reach the gates of Ave, if need be. I am far from underrating the courage of our troops or the ability of their commanders, but in reality a very small amount of either seems to suffice to put his Golden-Footed Majesty's braves to the rout. The let Madras Gre nadiers had reached Moulmein, and the left wing of H.M.'s 80th had joined headquarters in Rangoon. All the troops had been housed : heavy rain had fallen, and the hospitals of the European corps were unfortunately beginning to filL The markets were well supplied, and the inhabitants perfectly peace able and friendly : they are reaping a silver harvest of John Company's rupees such as they never dreamt of six months since, so there is little to be wondered at that they are delighted at the idea of our annexing the country. '1 he latest dates received are from Moulmein 9th, and Rangoon, 11th August. One of the Madras Native Infantry corps at the former place had only 240 men fit for duty, and a great increase of sickness had taken place at Rangoon—the beginning, it was feared, of something likely to prove alarming. The following is the best account I have seen of the taking of Proms by the seamen of the river flotilla under Captain Tarlton of the Fox frigate, who was to to superseded in the command of the flotilla by Captain Shadwell, of the Sphinx, his senior. A Cal cutta paper states that the place here called Promo is not the city of Promo on the Irrawaddy, but a second place of that name on a branch of the river some dietance from the real Prome, a great portion of which, OS well as the large town of Donabew, is said t 3 have been purposely burnt down by the Burmese : _ . . The all absorbing topics of conversation here at present aro the recent expedition to Proms and capture of 31 pieces of ordnance; and the Governor-General's visit to Rangoon, with speculations as to its result, as regards an nexation and our advance to Prome. I will first give you an account of the former proceedings, on the correcteess of which you mey rely. As soon as the steamer Phlegethon joined the other vessels, which had some time before gone up the Irrawaddy, the whole under Commander Tarleton, of her Majesty's frigate Fox, steamed on, and at Kenney Gewn, a small battery opened upon them ; the steamers stopped and returned the tire, but finding, after half an hour's work, that our shot seemed to make no impression, and that their fire did not relax, the proceeded on, having bad one o ffi cer (Lieutenant Elliot) and one private of the marines, wounded. The enemy's practice is said to have been very good. On the following day the fleet came in sight of Akouktoung, a strong position on the right bank et the river, held by a force ;said to have been originally 40,000 men, under a son of Bundoola, our great opponent in the last war, with 35 guns ; but which at the time of the arrival of the steamers had, from desertions and other causes, dwindled down to 2,000 men. A kouk-toung is situated at a bend of the river, about 400 feet high, the encampment extended fully two miles along the brow of ! the hill which commands a passage of 400 or 500 yards wide. To have forced their way put this strong position the steamers would have found a difficult undertaking; from its height our guns could not have been suf ficiently elevated, while, from the strength of the current, the vessels would have been, fur a couple of hours, exposed to the fire of 34 pieces of ord nance. Fortunately, jolt as they were entering the passage, a native came off, and offered to show a small creek through which they could peat, which offer was gladly accepted, and the steamers entered the river again far to the north of and well clear of Ahouktoung. The following moaning they were off Proms ; end not an armed man to be seen. Information soon came off that all the troops had gone to Akouktoung, never dreaming that we could give them the slip es we had done. Offers were readily made to show where the guns were ; accordingly a party woo landed, end who quietly and uninolestedly took possession of 23, con sisting of 42, 32, 24 and 12.poundere. The 20 iron gnu were destroyed and thrown into the river, and the 3 b rass ones sent down to Rangoon. I believe a couple of the et nosey wet* or lored to proceed a short dis tance up the river, in the hope of overtaking a steamer belonging to the King of Ava, which was said to be in the neighbourhood ; but they returned with out seeing or hearing anything of her. The following morning the whole commenced their return, and as they approached Akouk'oung, considerable anxiety was felt to see if the enemy had moved over to line the creek, but no such attempt had been made. T. e batiks would have afforded excellent cover fur musketry, and a couple of field pieces would have done great execution. The creek was very narrow, and a boat or two sunk in the middle *mould have formed an effectual barrier to the progress of the steamers. The enemy evidently found out their mistake when too late, for titer phoong through the creek, the steamers came across a iminbir of war boats with stores and full of men, moving over, no doubt with the iotentinn of retro ning to l'rome for its defence ; but they were a day utter the fai r , unfortunately no gun could. be brought to bear on them, and they all landed, and made off as quickly as they c Shortly afterwards the steamers came upon some more boats which had been left unprotected, containing guns, powder, and stores, right field piece"; were token with a standard, some gilt umbrellas and a few small articles. Hearing that all the troops had gone from A-kook-toung back to l'rome, the steamers returned to the former place, and got posaeseion of all guns. The exact number I have not heard, but believe it was 21, making a tiro' of 32 cap tured. 'lwo of the steamers were lett to watch the pas sage, and to prevent the enemy from fortifying the creek, one went to Baguio ' and the fourth hes re , erased to Ran goon. Thus ended the expedition to Proem. What ever may lie the other benefits deriv,ihle therefrom, , we have at any rate drawn it of the enemy's teeth, le d the practicability of our proceeding up the river at once has been made manifest. I believe there is hardly an individual in the force who does not consider an immediate advance desirable. A small force of 1.1100 European and 2,000 Native Infantry, with a light field batt , ry, four 8- inch 'howitzers, end half a dozen ruortars w on t,' hold p romo ewdest all comers, and the steamer; would lie employed, till the amen for marcbiug from thence in bringing up by degrees stores of all kinds, and the rest of the troops as they are relieved here by reinforcements from Bengal and Madras. The important points of advance, or no advance, has not been decided, but of course it will be, before the Gorerner.dieneral takes his departure. The Commodore and other high authorities are, it is said, all in favour of a speedy move, with the exception of General Godwin, who is desirous of obtaining a large increase to the force before lie leaves Rangoon; and of waiting till the season and the road will admit of our marching by land, instead of pro ceeding by the river. Whatever may become known ess this subject before the mail leases, I will inform 'OIL-- Cal-wits Englirhmari, Aug. 10. The following order was issued by the Governor- General about the 31st July at Rangoon : The Most Noble the Governor•Oenerat of India cermet forego the opportunity which is afforded to him by his visit to Rangoon, of again offering to the combined force his most cordial acknowledgments of the valuable end distinguirhed services they have rendered here. The gratification which the Governor-General experiences in thus onieratulating the force on its surer,. is the field is greatly en. banced by his being able to add Vie rression of his most unqualified approbation ef its conduct in quarters. In every branch, whether naval or mili tary, European or Native, the force has exhibited an or derly conduct and inoffensive demeanour towards the peo ple of the country, and a spirit of sound discipline, which are u truly honourable to its character as the highdistinc tion it has won in battle. Whatever may be the future course of this service, whatever may be the ultimate fate of this country, the Governor General has the proud satis faction of feeling that the people of Bureaah will hereafter sasociate, with the presence of a British force among them, no other recollections than those of its irresistible bravery in the field, of its order, forbearance, and uneilience in the camp. By command (Signed) .1. S. BANK% I Officiating Military Secretary to the (leveret:if-General. Turmoil is again about to take the place of tran quillity on our north-west frontier: the ever trou blesome :Remands and Swatteca have again been following their habitual predilection for murder and rapine, and it is expected another force will have to be sent out into the Swat Valley, to chit...rise such of them as fall in our way. The Afreedies of the passes are also troublesome—nothing new, unfortu nately, with them. Along the eastern frontier pro found peace prevails. The whole country from Peshawar along to Kurrachee has been deluged with rain, and storms prevailed from the last week in July till Aug. 7or 8. Capt. R. 11. Hicks, acting: commandant of the 115th Irregular Cavalry, was during a storm struck dead by lightning, while in the act of shutting the window of the house in which he was putting up. He was the eldest son of Colonel G. Hicks, C. 8., 37th Bengal Native Infantry. The river had overflowed, and the whole country wee ono vent swamp. At Lahore numerous deaths had been occasioned by houses falling in ail parts of the city, washed down by the rain. General Roberts, who had proceeded from Lahore to Peshawar to re lieve Sir Colin Campbell, was last heard of at Rawul Pindee ; Sir Colin is on his way home via the Indus and Bombay. The sum of 50,000 rs. has been sanctioned by the home authorities to provide church accommodation for nearly 8,000 Europeans in the Punjaub !—while 47,000 re. had been spent on the erection of a canteen for a single regiment. The Governor-General returned to Calcutta from Rangoon on the 6th ult., and resumed the reins of government. The results of his visit arc becoming apparent in the movements of troops on Madras and Calcutta for immediate embarkation for Burmah. Sir John Littler has returned from Darjeeling, and resumed his seat in council; but Sir W. Gomm con tinues in the hills enjoying the cool weather of Simla. Sir Richard Armstrong is by this time back at Madras, to superintend the embarkation of the troops for Rangoon. The construction of lines of electric telegraph betwixt tho three pre. sidencies and Lahore, under the superintend ence of Dr. O'Shaughncssy, has been elnetioned by the Court of Directors, and material for their construction is, we are told, now on its way from home : the work will be begun so soon as the learned doctor reaches India. It is computed that the lines will be completed in three years. What with railways and electric telegraphs, we arc at last beginning to go ahead. The trade returns for Bengal for last year show an increase of 2,191,502/. in im ports (chiefly in treasure, however), and 312,8816 in exports. Two of the guns captured from the Scikhs at Chil- Hammitt are to be sent home immediately for the monument about to be erected at Chelsea in honour of the officers and men of the 24th Foot, who fell on that memorable occasion. Our worthy governor, Lord Falkland, is looked for in Bombay by tho 25th or 26th—probably to meet Lord Fitzclarenco on his arrival here to assume his office of commander-in•chief. Great complaints have been made by the men of her Majesty's Stith, at Poona, about the bad rations served out to them: 150 men of the corps arc said to be anxious to leave for Australia, and to have applied for their discharge. The infamous and notorious Nursoo Punt, of Baroda celebrity, has been ordered to be dismissed from his em ployment, and declared incapacitated from ever again holding office under government. Col. Watson. prin cipal commissary of ordnance, Bombay, is said to be about retiring from the service; as also Colonel Bruce Seton, now in England. I'.S.—Brigadier the lion. r. Ashburnham passed through Meerut about the 20th ult. on his way to take up his command at Ferozepore : Brigadier HOMO takes his place in the Buttons brigade. Sir John Littler has not yet returned, it seems, to Calcutta. but was to leave Darjeeling about the 10th of Sept. lie had improved considerably by his sojourn in the hills, but his health was still delicate. Three out of four railway employAg (Europeans), tried for riot, have been committed and sentenced to impri sonment, ono for three months and two for a fort night. They had beaten and imprisoned some natives at a place called Basstleypore, where railway works were being carried on. rho Rev.
