Talk of war in Bunnell ! why, we have only to show our selves when the Burmese cut for their lives, as the Chiueac did before Lord Cough's army. Tranquillity fur the present reigns on and along the whole north-west frontier—the enemy seeming to desire a little breathing epace before they ngien set un us. A translation of a letter from Sadut Khun, the chief of the Momund chiefs, to the commissioner at Peshawur, has been published by one of the news papers, in which he addr e ss e s ou r go v ernment as fol ws : You have deprived us of those lands in the Dumb' which we looked upon as our life,—the sinews by which we were enabled to mat ; t lest you have wantonly taken from as, neither can you plead aught in justification of your eon duct.

Was it in keeping with the honour aad dignity of so great and powerful a nation as you are ? You are agreat and mighty people —we a hand of poor hill people.

A young llindoo, wishing to study for the law, applied to all the attorneys in Beathay take him as an articled clerk, so that he ought sine the sissassary apprenticeship, to entitle him M prac tice before the supreme court as an attorney, bat they one and all refused to receive him. Under these circumstances, he applied to the court, through Mr. Dickinson, to bo allowed to practice without an apprenticeship after having undergone • satisfac tory examivation before their lordships, the judges. This for various reasons was refused, and the young man directed to apply for redress to the legislature, or he was told he might go home and serve his time, or he might even pass through Lincoln's-inn, and re turn to India and be entitled to practise as a barrister before the court ; as in England he would find dozens of attorneys willing to accept the fee and take him as an apprentice I think the Bombay attorneys have done lei.° right in refusing to take him into the trade—their training must have cost them much more than 4001., and were a native attorney once to appear here a large portion of their light and best paying baleen would go to him, as he would not scruple to materially reduce his charges, while all the laborious head work, which does not pay nearly so well. would remain with him. In my opinion there is not &native iu ladle sufficiently well educated for the law; they arc cote enough for the profession, but I do not think it would be at all advantaged by natives becoming members of it. P.B. Heavy rain fell at Hyderabad, Scinde, on the night of the 23rd June—much thunder and light ning. All the canals filling fast, and fever on the increase. The lady of Lieut. R.

The Siamese mode of con structing roads is exceedingly novel, and appear to be durable foe heavy trelfic ; the subject is well worthy the attention of any engineer whose steps should lead him this way an I think he would receive ninny suggestions applica ble to Singapore.

THE GOLD FIELDS OF AUSTRALIA. Singapore, accounts have been received from the various diggings of the colonies so late as the middle of May. From Melbourne we learn that the miners have recommenced their labours with great energy. A large nugget—the largest yet—had been found oppo site Golden Gulley, which is said to be worth 2,W01. Many fatal accidents had occurred, owing to men falling into deserted boles or the earth falling in upon them when undermining, and the want of due care. At Ballarat the miners were comparatively inactive. A writer at this !Wien remarks : "Apathy has thrown her leaden wings over the diggings. Months of intense excitement are followed by a re lapse, and men used to profuseness care little to work for that which a twelvemonth ago would have been deemed an ample remuneration for their toil. En terprise has gone to sleep, and that spirit of disco very which led men in August last to the gold field of flatterer, now slumbers in a blanket, awaiting winter. The ruins of Carthage could not have pre sented a more mournful appearance to Marina, than does the tumuli of Ballarat to one who saw the same place teeming with life and activity." At Forest Creek there had been a few showers, but not ' enough to affect the water holes. The miners wore looking with no little trepidation for the approach of winter. To the greater number of diggers it would be their first winter in the bush. The commissioners had relaxed their vigilance in exacting the license fee; so thatithere was no ground for provoking op position, or the resistance threatened a few months ego. The price of gold at Melbourne was 6%. per' ounce, and not likely to advance until the advent of English capital, money being more scarce than in Adelaide. The diggers at Coghill's Creek, distant fifteen miles from Ballarat, were doing well. At Cape Otway, also, the miners were reaping a good, reward for their labours. Tho place is situated at the foot of the ranges, about eighteen miles from the coast, and about six from the head of the Barwon. Letters from Mount Alexander notice that more than a hundred men were employed in making roads, and orders have been given to the chief commissioner that reserves should be made for roads through the diggings. Neither have the authorities been back ward in providing for the security of life and pro perty. At the licndigo diggings the miners were progressing favourably; but against this success must be considered the foot that supplies there are generally 25 per cent. higher than at Forest Creek— while the price of gold is from three to four shillings an mince lower, or say about 125 per cent. higher that Melbourne:prices, although not many miles distant. VICTORIA. Port Philip journals to the first week in May notice that the Lieutenant-Governor was making ar rangements to stem the torrent of crime pouring upon the province; he has authorised the erection of six out-stations at Mount Alexander, each to acoom- , modate an assistant commissioner, with a staff of officers, three horse and sixteen foot police, two police magistrates, stations and barracks for pen sioners. The salaries of assistant commissioners have been increased from 30W. to 4001. per annum, and their establishments in proportion. The iron auxiliary screw steamer Conside, from San Francisco, is now running regularly between Melbourne and Sydney. The ordinary revenue at Melbourne for the quarter ending March 31st, was 76,2721., and the territorial revenue 166,8271., the total being an increase over the same quarter in the previous year of 182,9811. The government were endeavouring to purchase a vessel of nearly 1,000 tons, to be nerd as a hulk for prisoners. A guard ship has been placed in Hobson's Bay. Her Majesty's brig Fantome was daily expected to arrive, and would give protection to the shipping, and prevent a recurrence of so daring a robbery as that effected on board the Nelson. The Melbourne newspapers contain innumerable instances of violence, murders, affrays, night and day robbe ries, sufficiently attesting the character of hundreds of wretches who have resorted to the place for the basest purposes.

The Queen left tho royal residence of Laoken at eleven o'clock on Friday morning, and with the King, Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred and the two princesses proceeded to the palace at Brunel,. After partaking of an elegant breakfast, her Majesty proceeded to the recention room and there received the congratula tions of t►e corps diplonaligue at Brussels with those of the Ministers of State. While these compliments were being paid the young princes visited the principal streets of the capital on foot accompanied by Mr. Gibbs. Her Majesty's departure for Antwerp was lined for Saturday, at three o'clock. ANTWERP, SLTI:I/DAY AFTYRNOON. I have only just a moment to inform you that the Queen has left Antwerp. The royal squadron, as I write, is in full sail and steam down the river. Her Majesty arrived from Lteeken this morning at 10 o'clock, &mom nied by the Prince, the children of the royal family, the King, his sons the Duo de Flandre and the Due de Brabant, and her suite, and drove to the Palace. After • short stay, her Majesty, attended es before, visited the Exhibi tion of pictures and sculpture., with which she seemed greatly pleased. She then proceeded to the Muse'e, and, alter • stay of about half an hour, visited the Cathedral. Thence the Queen went to the Petals. where she partook of a &Jammer d lofourclielte, to which only the members of the royal suite and • limited number of Wrath!. of the court were invited. At two o'clock the royal carriages, with the Queen and King, drove to the stairs on the guy. They were received with presented arms, the rolling of drums ; the national airs of both countries were performed by the band, and after • delay of nearly twenty mi nu t es her Majesty went on board. The five men-of-war steamers dressed is colours and manned yards. The Odin fired the royal salute. About 3, the squadron got under weigh and ed slowll i river down the against a strong tide. The rin c 7g e :o l f the Be lg ians is on board, and will go with h e r' Majesty, it is sal ,to Flushing. The quays are crowded to excess. For more than a mile the whole line was densely thronged, and there must have been 60,000 people witness ing the departure of the squadron. FLUSHING, SUNDAY. 7 r.m. The royal squadron arrived off Lillo and Duel, the forts which mark the termination of the Belgian and the com mencement of the Dutch territories, in the Scheldt, on Sa turday, about four o'clock, p.m. Here the King Leopold, and the Duke of Brabant, and the Count de Flandre took their leave of the Queen, and returned to Antwerp by the Chemin de for at five o'clock. Her Majesty proceeded to Flushing, but the night was dark and threatening, and the yachts returned to Terneuse, further up the river, where they anchored, leaving the men-of-war in Flushing. roads. It blew heavily during Sunday, and the fleet did not stir, though all the squadron had steam up at 7 o'clock. It was expected they would start with the dawn on Monday (this) morning for England. A sad accident occurred on board the Ravensbourne steamer, aa she waspassing the royal yacht. The passengers being anxious to testify their loyalty to their Queen, the ship's signal carronade was fired as the Ravensboume went by, and on the second cartridge being rammed in, the car tridge exploded and blew off the heads and otherwise in jured an old seaman aamed Jobs Csale. He was instantly sent on board the Retribution, 'where, no doubt, he will re ceive all the - "attention his ease deman ds. SUDDEN DEATH OF SIR JAMES PARKER. Intelligfnce reached town at a late hour on Satur day evening of the sudden death of Vice-Chancellor Sir James Parker, on the previous night at his country seat, Rothley Temple, Lomhborough, Leicestershire. The learned gentleman had been for some time labouring antler an internal disease, and for the last few days of remaining in town he had at intervals expectorated blood, but such a sudden bereavement was not anticipated by his large circle of relatives and friends. He wrs out with a party enjoy ing the sport of angling so late as Thursday last, and up to a very brief period of his decease he betrayed no symptoms to create alarm among those friends who %were immediately associated with him. His age was scarcely forty-nine, and he had only enjoyed his preferment to the Chancery bench ten month. Sir James ;was the son of the late Charles Stuart Parker, Req., of Bloekairn, near Glasgow, and was born at Glasgow in 1803, and married in 1829 the daughter of the late Thomas Babington, Esq., of Rothley Temple. He was educated at the Grammar School and College of Glasgow, and graduated M.A. at Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1823 ; he became the seventh wrangler in 1825, and was called to the bar by the Hon. Society of Lincoln's Inn in February, 1829. In July, 1844, be obtained a silk gown, and i n th e mont h o f October last was appointed one of the vice-chancellors of Ragland, upon the extensive alterations which then took place in the Chancery courts; he received the order of Knight Bachelor on the occasion of his promotion to the judicial seat. Betides being one of the bendier' of Lin coln's Inn, he was in the oommineon of peace for Leicester shire. Sir James Parker contested the borough of Leicester on the tory Interest la 1847. when he was defeated by a very eoadderabie majority. He was a consistent tory, an d owed his elevation to no respect whatever to political inflame.

The inquiry into the charge of forgery, preferred ** by Mr. Hughes, solicitor, of this city, against the Rev. James Nisbett, until recently curate of Shrawley, in this county, was resumed at 12 o'clock to - day, at the police court, before Mr. Bidebottoca, police magistrate, and Mr. J. M. butch, one of the city bench. Mr. Wright, of Bir mingham, conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Elgie, of Worcester, the defence. The police court, which is an in convenient room at the lick of the Guildhall, totally un fitted for carrying on a public inv , '• -..owded to • • ..et iganon, was"- lk "" hear the resalt, and amon g s t u h t entw i t ari or . two of the local clergy. The ease, it should be mentioned, was adjourned on Tues day last, to allow time to send for the drawer of the alleged for g ed hill, who was represented to be a clerk at the Nine Elms Station, Vauxhall. This person, however, was not forthcoming; and Mr. Wright, for the prosecution, asked for time to produce officials (rota that rtation to prove that there was no such person employed at the railway, nor had been at the time when the bill was drawn. This it was understood would be agreed to, and in the mean time Mr. Thomas, clerk at the Worcester Old Back, was ex amined to prove that the prisoner kept an account at that hack from 1149 down to a recent date ; that he had fre quently seen him at the bank ; that he frequently signed cniqurs at the counter, &c. The witness, however, could not positively swear to his handwriting, but he knew it from having had his cheques frequently pion through his hands for entry in the bank books. The forged bill was then handed to the witness. It was in the following terms. " London, March 1,1851. "E3oo.—Siz months after date pay to the Roy. James Nisbett, or order, the sum of three bond rd pounds, (or value received. " Richard Mitchell. "To Wiliam Robert Nisbett, Fort Nisbett, " Rurris.a-Bane ' Ireland. "Accepted—William Itobert Nisbett. " Payable at Messrs. Scott and Co., bankers, Cavendish square, London." Endorsed—" James Nisbett." The witness, ;11;;;InininFithe bill, gave his opinion that the name of the drawer, the body of the bill, the name of the acceptor, and the acceptance, were all in the same hand writing, and that the whole was the handwriting of the prisoner. The handwriting of the endorser, though larger than the rest, was also of the same character, and the writing of the prisoner. Mr. Winwood, the cashier at the Old Bank, was then sent for, and produced 33 cheques which had passed through his hands, drawn by the prisoner. lie had seen the ri.oner write frequently, and should may that the whole body and signatures of the bill produced had been written by him. The bank had had several hill transactions with the prisoner, and he had no recollcctioa of ever having seen the signature of " Richard Mitchell " before. Mr. Wright submitted that this was sufficient evidence to warrant the magistrates in committing the prisoner for trial. The witness had given evidence distinctly showing that this WAS a fictitious bill signed by fictitious signatures, and in the handwriting of the prisoner, which was as much a for gery as if an individual's signature had been actually noun terteited. Mr. Elgie, for the prisoner, on being called upon, de clined to address the court for the defence until the cue for the prosecution was actually closed. Mr. Sidebottom said that at present he had no evidence before hint that there Was no such persois as Richard Mit chell, and he therefore thought an adjournment advisable, in order to clear up that point. After some conversation the evidence of Glossop, in spector of the Birmingham police, was taken as ti the ap prehension of the prisoner, ►nd the papers found upon him. Inspector Glossop deposed that, front information which he had received, he apprehended the prisoner this da• week, at the White Hart, Higbetti, Birmingham, and took possession of a quantity of papers found in his possession. These papers (which it is said contain some revelations of consequence) were, by consent of all parties, now placed in the custody of Inspector Chipp, of the Worcester police, who was instructed to allow the solicitors on both sides to inspect them in his presence. Amongst the napers is a very full and elaborate diary, which, it is said, will forunA some materials for the prosecution. The prisoner is also charged with other fraudulent trans actions. At present he stands remanded fur a few days, when he will no doubt be committed for trial. MURDEROUS OUTRAGE.-FIVE PERSONS SHOT. (TROY OUR CORIIRRPONDENT.) OLD BWINFORD, SATURDAY. Yesterday David Deere', landlord of the Seven Stara pablic-house, at Lower Swinford, was committed to Worcester county gaol, for trial at the next ussizeft, on the charge of wilful murder, under most extraordinary circum• stances. The prisoner combines the trade of a gardener and pub lican, and is • married man, having one child, • son, Id fears old, who is also charged as an &mecum y before the act. A few nights ago a number of railway labourers from the adjacent worke, who bad been drinking at the prisoner's house, quarrelled and turned out to fight. On their return to the bowie they continued to make • t disturbance, and the consequence wu that • crowd i collected in front of the inn. At this period Duxes came home, and wan much anndyed at the collection of the crowd in front of his house, which consisted for the moat part of noisy boys, though there were some men and women among them. He endeavoured roughly to disperse them, and struck several with his walking stick, on which they hooted at him and threw stones. The prisoner immediately rushed into the house in a violent passinn, de claring that he " would blow their heads off," and went up stairs followed by his son. The pri toner had two guns, a single and a double barrel: ' these be fetched oat, and his son got out the powder and shot. The guns were immediately loaded, and the prisoner went to the bedroom window and, leaning out, presented the gun and fired among the crowd in the street, exclaim ing, ' Here's into ye, ye —," using • foul expression. I Immediately afterwards he exclaimed, " I've given ' e m a sweep, and I'll give 'eat another;' and he immediately fired a gun. His son wasted him to reload ; and altogether four shots were fired and five people were wounded—one killed on the spot. The injured parties are : • Killed—Mrs. Pardoe, wife of a hatter, and mother of six children, one of whom she was looking for when she was fired upon. Wounded—William Woolridge, miner, wounded in the neck, and not likely to recover; Hannah Fletcher, • brick layer's wife, shot in the legs; James Haywood, also shot in ' the legs ; and Mrs. Brenton, a middle-aged lady, wife of the manager at the establishment of Mr. F. J. Raiford, wounded in the abdomen, thigh, and legs, while aiding Mrs. Partite, who had once bees a servant in her employ. Mrs. Pardee, ea being raised from the ground, was carried into • house, bet she appeared to have died instantaneously. The guns, when found in the house, were both loaded with powder and abet ready for use again. The affair Ilse created intense excitement. 'fhe magistrate' also committed the son, but admitted him to ball. HULL AND SZLIIT RAILWAY.—The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Saturday, at the new railway station at Hall; Richard Tarr, Esq., chairman of the company, padded. The report showed a balance on the half-year of 31,621 f 64.13 d. to the credit of the company and recommended that, after payment, as usual, of tho half , year's interest on the quarter shares to the Ist of Augur inst., a dividend be declared of V. 9s. on the 60& glares, and of IL 4s.

WRECK OF THE Stir CENTAUR—It is with ex tram. regret that we have to announce the total loss of the ship Centaur of Calcutta, Captain W. T. Salmon, oa the sort of Arabia, attest one hundred and twenty miles from Murat. The rani was proceeding to the port nom d and had made out the land, when thirst( a fog at midnight lof the 13th 14th ultimo, the current carried her on to a reel near itasel-Rulibs. As she hung by the hews only she would probably have been got off but the Arabs came on board in great nemben, compelled the crew to detest from their endeavour to extricate her, plundered the ship and all in board her, of mune, and finally it appears set her en fire. Capt. Salmon is a steady mud intelligent young man, careful navigator, and well acquainted with the coast, so that we feel assured no blame attaches to him. The Centaur had a valuable cargo on board:, including about sixteen busload chests of indigo, for Muscat, Bushire, and Bu Borah. We tryst that the British Indian govern meat will not allow this outrage committed by the rascally Bedouins to pass unnoticed. One or two of the war vessels of the Indian navy might he very usefully employed in im proving their views on the rights of property. If the Imam of Muscat has no influence over their, he cannot object to his allies inflicting the chastrewent which they deserve. Captain Salmon with his Milers and crew pro ceeded in the Imaum's ship Artemise towards the scene of • the wreck, but the Arabian man mf-war made such little progress against strong head-winds that the commander deemed it expedient to bear up and return to Mmcat. While promediag down the coast, iaformatiou was re ceived that the pirates had burnt the wrecked vessel, end this intelligence subsequently reeeivml of con firmation. DEPARTURE Or MR. T.
