INDIA. TIIE OVERLAND MAIL. We boa. received, ria Marseilles, news from Bom bay i ‘ m January 3, and from Calcutta to Dec, 22. Th e fidios Mg is from the general summary of the josbay l'oaes of January 3rd. Warlike rumours from the North-v.lst frontier bp s been current during the prod fortnight, origi nating in the murder of two of our uncovenanted servants in the territories of a Chief named Jehan is s d Khan in the Ilarareh district. The unfortunate T ioinu• • Mr. tame, and his assistant, Mr. Tapp, had rime tim,mmial our boundaries in their excess of real ' I, the public rerviee: they were employed in the roeintion of salt smuggling, and in spite of re r , 4 1 warnings persisted in going where they seem to brie had no right to trespass. As soon as the circumstance was made known to the Khan he sailed upon Major Abbott, Political Agent in the Ilatareli country. and expressed his regret at who hail (slimmed. and offered to apprehend the murderous.

The time had expired, mid they were still at large, although a number of personslad been given up to Major .thbott, none of a horn. it has been asrertained, ati, thing 'whatever to do in the sad alfair.

J, says : A distisehuseet at • place culled Mute, four miles from the outpost of Shubkudr, and to the north-east of l)ubh, where the force of Sir C. Campbell has for some time lain ins, tire, was attacked by a large body of Momunds on the Bth of December. Our party con.isted of • party of the Ounde Corps, undi r Lieut. )liller, • detail of artillery under Lieut. Simeon, and the 2nd Punjab Cavalry, the whole commanded by Crpt. Jackson, of the latter corps. The encwy are end to have numbered 4,000 foot and 100 horse, at the head of whom were two chiefs; one-fourth these numb. r. would, probably, be nearer the true strength the force of the enemy. They appear to have thought of taking our men by surprise, bat th. reception they met with quickly suede tin m tly. ILe Lahore I ltrwaiele says :—" Their object wis at first to turn the rear of the oil lair. and they seemed to heed but little. the firing of Lieu tenant Sinieou's guns, which opened upon them. They how somewhat more alive to the attentions of • party of the Guides, who were first posted near the ell taste. and then oecuying some oullalis to the rear, suebed en th, lee Iny from one to another in excellent style. The Momunds did not approve this pride of warfare, and retreating much faster than they came on, at last ran out right. the genii doing good execution as they tied. In an hour the plains were cleared of the enemy, who took up a pootion on some low sendliills at no great distance, where they remained all the afternoon, going off entirely towards evening. They passed close enough to Shubkudr to admit of the garrison opening their lire on them. The loss of the )demands was variously estimated at from 8 to 12 killed sad r. wounded. The Guides had one man slightly wounded, and • sower of Jackson's Irregulars, who were too late in the Reid to pursue the enemy with effect, was struck on the head with a spent bell. It is said that two of the chiefs of the Momunds, named Nawab Khan and Shaikh Abdoola, were both in the fray. and bore them selves very gallantly. A round shot fell between the legs of the hone of the latter, but did not induce him to moire bow his then position." The force under Sir C. Camp bell had not been molested further than by small parties of the enemy descending from the hill. on the camels and tattle while out grazing, several of which they had suc ceeded in carrying off. The fort at I)ubb was pro ceeding rapidly, and till it was completed the general did bet intend commencing offensive operations. The enemy were coll. ling in large numbers iu his neighbourhood in the bills. Ile had been reinforced by Wedler's troop of bor., artillery and some revelry and infantry. A wing of her Majesty's 83d, under Colonel Mansfield, while on its way to join his camp bad been directed to proceed to Mute, where they arrived on the Jtb. The force at l'eshawur were on the alert night and day, and the whole of the ar tillery had been recalled to the station from their practice ground at l'humkunic. The first count of the indictment charged Mies Mackay with having, on the Ith of October last, and the five following days, in Beleepooruh, at Benares, on one Helen Mackay, the child of the prisoner] dui Mackay, maliciously and feloniously made divers as saults with a whip and hempen cords, giving her mortal wounds and bruises in different parts of her )oily, of which she languished from the 4th to the ttth October, and then died. And it further charged the male prisoner with liming been present at the commission of this felony a n d murder, aiding and aliening the female in it; and alleged that both did thus kill and murder the child. The second count alleged that both the prisoners, contriving and in tending to starve and murder the child, made several assaults upon her from the Ith to the 9th October, and emifined her in a room, and neglected, omitted. or niipsd to give or suffer to be given sufficient meat and drink for her sustenance, in consequence of which she dicd, and the prisoners did thus feloni,- Duly mu dt r her.

Y.M. 1. . . _ On Saturday last two deputations front the parishes of Marylebone and St. Pancras waited upon Lord John 'lumen at the Treasury, for the purpose of representing to his lunlehip the opinions and wishes of their fellow parish ioner, on the subject of extramural interments, and to log ' gest such arrangements as appeared to them most advisable for carrying out this object. The parish of St. l'aneraa was represented by Sir Benjiouin 11.11 , M.l'.; Mr. Baker and Mr. Pierce, churchwardens; Mr. W. D. Cooper, Mr. Bret tingham, Mr. Ilesley, Mr. Turner, Mr. Glover, Dr. Ore. gory, Mr. T. 11. Smith, and Mr. Baku. The deputation from the pari a h o f Mirylebone consisted of Lord Dudley Stuart, M.P. ; Mr. Soden, Mr. Nieluday, Mr. D'lffanger, jun., Dr. Burnell, Mr. A. Daniell, Mr. Swain, and Mr. l'olond. Both the deputations were ushered into his lordship'. presence at the same time. Lord John Russell received them very courteously, and invlteli the leading members to be seated near the table. Sir George Grey entered the room while the deputation were discussing the question, but took no part in the proceedings. Several gentlemen having explained the objects desired to be attained, Lord JOHN ItUSSYLL—Gentlemen: I can only state to yon in reply, that the matter hu.s been for some time under the consideration of the government—that the gene ral principle of the measure to be produced has been agreed upon, and that Lord Seymour has b en charged by me with the duty of preparing the measure., and carrying out its details. I believe that we are all agreed on the general principles, and these only I shall touch upon rat present. In the first place we are 'weevil, that there is • great desire, and I think a very just desire, that inter ments should not go on within the nietiopulia. In crowded streets it is not fit that there about,' be burial grounds, and where the number dying is very large the result must he very injurious to the public health. In the nett place I should say that 1 entirely agree that anything that can be done by the parochial authorities would be better done by them than by the government, or by a hoer,' appointed by the government. In the third place, that it is • matter of no little difficult) to accomplish the object in such a town as this is, considering the vast size of the metropolis. lam told that such things are arranged differently in other towns, and I ran conceive it, but in this town we have to consider that if the buried-grounds to be provided are to be free from buildings, they must be ate considerable distance. If we go to St. l'ancras we find that some years ago they provided a burial-ground which was remote frum building*, but by the increase of the town it has now been included in the town itself, and in this way many cemeteries have become surrounded by houses. That being the case, and it being necessary that burial grounds should bo pro vided at some distance, of course there would be no very great difficulty as regarded the rich or the poor, because the parish undertakes the interment of the I,oor : but there is with regard to a vast mass of the middle classes of the people —a difficulty, as they would have to pay a consider able sum for the interment of their families. And with regard to the working of the plan that has been suggested there is another elitliceety, which does not belong to the locality, but which niers to the size of the parish, because, while the new parishes, if I may so call them, consist of very large districts, most of then immensely populous, there are in the old parts of the town very smolt pareshe., which, of course, would be neither able to go to the same expenditure, or take the same large and comprehensive view as these larger parishes; therefore, there are difficulties belonging to the sub ject; but I trust that the measure under consideration; when it is produced, may be satisfactory ; anal, at all emits, 1 we shall be ready to listen to any amendment* that may by proposed. So far front its being the object of the govern strait to have any control la these matter., they have quite enough to do already, and it is, I memo you, far from their wish to be encumbered with them.

A letter, dated Alexandria, Jan. 21, says Tho Sultan has intimated his intention of removing from Abbas Pasha and the future viceroys of Egypt the power of life and death. It appears the Pasha stated on the 18th to the representatives of the live European powers, that, if deprived of this authority, he apprehended the continuance of a peaceful government to be impossible, and that he now gave them notice he could no longer be account able for safety to person and property if this depri vation was insisted on. Mr. ltobert Stephenson sailed from this port for England, in his lacht Titania, on the 13th inst., having previously visited the bed of Lake 'fimseh, and the Bitter Lakes on the Isthmus of Suez, with a view to determine certain geological filets respecting which doubts had been entertained. Mr. Stephenson states that evidence enough exists to show that, at a period by no means remote, Africa must have been an island, and the Mediterranean and Red Seas united. Ho has col lected scientific matter of considerable extent and interest, and Ms researches will, doubtless, be given to the world in one shape or other. MALTA, JAN. 26. Since my last-22nd 23rd inet.—vre have had a second move among the ships : for u soon as the Corfu mail by Medusa ►rrivcd, the remaining vessels were ordered to get ready for sea, and on the following morning, 24th, Bellerophon, Vengeance, and Trafalgar got under weigh, the admiral having struck hii flag from Vengeance, and hoisted it on board the Terrible, steam frigate. The fact has caused some speculation. Indefatigable, frigate, to relieve Phaeton, reached Corfu on the 19th ; the latter was to sail for Malta on 22nd. Scourge, steam-frigate, is expected hourly from Leghorn, and on her arrival the Spiteful will proceed to Naples and porta of Tuscany. lONIAN ISLANDS By telegraphic advices of the 2:ki we learn from Corfu that the resignation of the President of the Senate has been accepted by the Lord High Com missioner. PRINCE. ALBERT AS A FARMER.—At Miohoolmu last the Prince Consort extended his farming operations at Windsor, by taking into his own hands Shaw Farm, which he now occupies in addition to the Norfolk and Flemish Finns. At the Shaw Fenn during the past week the patent drainage plough, exhibited in the Crystal Palace, has been in full operation, and the Prises as been en attentive observer of this new method of the draining. Just previous to the departure of Prince Leopold of Saxe Coburg from the Castle, Prince Albert, accompanied by his serene highness, and the Prince of Wales and l'rince Alfred, spent two hours in the field when the plough was at work, and appeared much pleased. The operation .f the implement is perfectly novel. It not only cuts the orifice, or drain, more than three feet below the surface, but it drags after it the tubular tilea, and eompletes the work as it goes on. The inventor is Mr. Fowler, of Bristol. NEw Onstnrs.—An application was made to Sir Chapman Marshall at Guildhall in the course of last week for permission to submit an omnibus for his inspec tion, built after a model exhibited in the Crystal Palace, and to-day it was drawn up in the Guildhall yard. It was remarkable fur its perfect novelty of construction, which coaristed in the seats, capable of accommodating ten pas sengers inside, being detached somewhat after the style of thaw in that-clam railway carriages, and so contrived for the passengers to sit with their faces to the horses, leaving a clear passage up the certre of from 18 to 20 inches in width, and six feet four inches in height. The passage is covered iu by a semi-circular glass roof, by . which means ample light is obtained. TIIC ventilation is effected by an interstice over the windows in each compart ment, and i erforated metal panels to the door of the vehicle, which altogether weighs no more wh en loaded than the usual omnibuses. At the head of the vehicle is an alarm tell to communicate to the driver and conductor, and accessible to all the passengers. There are also a couple of clips for newspapers, an almansek, Milli:s ten, and a lamp. The length of the *eats is 18 inches (two more than is required by the statute), yet the omnibus is not more than lour inches longer than the oldones. Alder mean Wilson, Sir Chapman Marshall, Aldermen Finnic and Challis and other magistrates, Ingetlo r with a great num ber of the mist extensive omnibus proprietors were present, and highly approved of the construction and iuternal Coll. venience of the vehicle. One of the proprietors, pointing to the lsiap, said he hoped the magistrates would compel every manilas* to have ow, as it was sadly wanted at night. Alderman Wilson, after suggesting • few trifling altera tions tor the general improvement of the carriage, said it was certainly a very comfortable vehicle. The omnibus, which is still unfinished, is the produetiou of a private gen tleman, and not an omnibus proprietor. TILE CITY OF LONDON AND THE REMOVAL OF SMITHFIELD. The Obserrer says :—The corporation of London, at the eleventh hour —or, indeed, we might almost say the twelfth—have decided to take upon themselves the entire management and responsibility of the " Act for providing • Metropolitan Market, and conveniences connected there with, in lieu of the Cattle Market at Smithfield." This act is better and more familiarly known as the Smithfield Re moval Act. It received the royal assent on the Ist of August, 1851, and the six months' grace allowed to the cor poration fur carrying out an enactment which they had strenuously opposed through all its stages, expired lest (Sa turday) night. They were offered, first and last, by the government, the option of carrying out • measure which the interests and health of the City so loudly called for. But all through they pertinaciously refused. And y e t, a ft er being defeated in both houses of parliament, the alternative was given to them, and they have at last availed themselves of it. By the set-14 &15 Viet., c. 61—her Majesty is em powered to appoint five commissioners, three to be a quorum, for the purpose of carrying out its provisions ; and by the 3rd section they are incorporated and to have a common seal. They aro empowered to procure or provide a site, &e., by the ith section ; and by the .sth they aro commanded to provide for the supply of water, drainage, Be. They are farther authorised to appoint officers and to make by-laws I —to let slaughter-houses and stale in the market—to fix tables of tolls and payments—to report to the Secretary of State, who is to close Smithfield, and to regulate the route of cattle, &c., through the metropolis—to raise money by mortg.sgc—to prepare an annual statement and to have their accounts duly audited—and, last of all, to impose pana,ties for all sorts of obstructions of the public commerce or to the public health. Such are the provisions, supposing the management to be vested in crown commissioners. But • locus penitential wu provided for the offending corporation. By the 37th section, the corporation of the City of London is authorised after six months to take upon themselves the execution of the act, which they have done at the last moment, after all their previous opposition, and by the 314th section they are further empowered to take all the tolls, &c., provided they resolved to carry out the act at their own expense and risk. This, too, the corporation have consented to du, proving, in the most substantial manner, that they fully recognise the nature of the arrangement which they opposed so violently and so long. The tolls, however, are placed, by the schedules attached to the act, beyond the control and caprice of the corporation, and the site of the new market must be one approved by the Score. tory of State. There arc people ill-natured enough to say that the im maculate corporation were loth to part with the patronage and management of the new markets; but, for our parts, we are glad that the City authorities have been wise in time, and that they, too, have come forward to assist in a scheme of improvement that was so generally demanded and approved. Far a public and • representative body, they kept their secret remarkably well ; and it was only on the very last day but one that the City authorities trans mitted their assent, under the common seal, to accept all the risks and all the profits of the now arrangement.

Mr. Gladstone, minister of the Episcopal Chapel, Long Acre. An address had been pre sented to his lordship on Thursday, signed by the parochial clergy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, namely, Henry Mac kenzie, vicar; J. G. Gifford, M.A. incumbent of St. Mat thew's, Spring-gardens; A. G. Edouard, M.A., incumbent of St. Michael's, Burleigh-street ; W. C. llabington, M.A., incumbent of St. John's Broad-court; Sydney Clark, M.A., senior curate of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields ; 8. J. G. Fraser, 8.A., curate of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields; Edward Ferrier, 8.A., ditto. After condemning the policy pur sued by their brother clergyman, these gentleman say: " Most of us having ourselves been among the very earliest to address your lordship on the occasion of the late papal aggression, in language impossible to be misunder stood, we feel ourselves above any imputation of encourag ing Itonsanising views or popish doctrines, whether in or out of the church ; and we declare our unhesitating convic tion that the inhibition your lorilship has felt yourself com pelled to issue has been for an offence on Mr. Gladstone's part, not of a doctrinal, but of a disciplinal character. We have had experience among ourselves that your lordship does not require us to frame our preaching by any pro crustean rule, nor to lay down any definition of doctrine more stringent than the articles of our national church ; and wo are convinced, should Mr. Gladstone express sorrow fur the warmth and impropriety of his language, and for the disobedience of which he has been guilty to slighting his diocesan's munitions, and promise to restrain himself henceforward within the bounds of ' decency and order,' that your lordship would even yet withdraw the inhibition that has been issued." On Fiatunlay, as wo have stated, the Bishop transmitted his reply is the following note: "London House, Jan. SI, 18.52. "MST. isjin Than BItETIMEN ' —I have received with much satisfaction the address you have presented to me. It expresses sentiments in which I cordially concur, and, , should Mr. Gladstone be willing to ac t i n t h e way you indi eat!, I should be perfectly ready to pass over his previous indiscretions, and to withdraw my inhibition, which was not issued till every method of indec ing him to acknowledge the impropriety of his having attacked his ecclesiastical superiors from the pulpit had been tried in vain. It was the place and time of that attack which made it my duty to call him to account. You justly observe that ' conduct like his, if unrestrained, would he subversive of all discipline in the church.' Without, therefore, some guarantee for his future orderly conduct, the ecclesiastical law must necessa rily take its course.—l am, your affectionate brother, (Signed) "C. J. Lonnote" NEW MILITARY HOSPITAL AT PORTSMOITTIL—The Board of Ordain's° has accepted the tender of Messrs. Locke and Neshens, builders, of London, for the erection of the new military hospital at Portsmouth. It to be situated adjoining the ramparts, opposite Lion-terrace, Ponies. TUB MINISTRY AND TOE REFORM BILL—In the course of an article on this subject, the Observer says:— There are still four offices connected closely with the ad ministration to be announced on the eve of the meeting of parliament : the Secretary at Wur, the offices of Paymaster- General and Vice-President of the Board of Trade (com bined, with only one salary), an Under-Secretary of State, and a Lord of the Admiralty—and there may bo one—or ' even two—changes more. But thee will be all, we be ' lieve—as we stated some weeks back—from the ranks of the liberal party, which their opponents are so kindly anxious to divide. The Under-Secretary, its we stated, cannot, by law and usage, be • Member of the House of Comm ons , th e other two Under-Secretaries, W. Bouverie and Mr. Peel, be ing members of the lower house. Although the names of the two other more important additions to the government will probably not be formally announced before the moving of the new writs in the House of Commons, on Tuesday, on their acceptance of office, we shall not be much surprised to find that one of them will be a gentleman of already proved ability and experience in a cognate office; and that the appointment of the other will give an opportunity of testing the opinions of a large and popular constituency, regarding the measures and character of the government, which are derteribed-Lby their several opponents and rivals—as on the eve of political bankruptcy. Now, we venture to amen, that whatever impression prevails that this article of the rinses is founded upon any authorised communication of the contents of the proposer' Reform Bill is entirely in correct. It is entire imaginative. A few days will con vince the public that the chimerical outline, which for purposes of ridicule has thus been exhibited, deserves not to he ranked even as a caricature of the proposed lie form Bill. It would be, indeed, believing too much to suppose that no disfranchisement were to take place, when Harwich, St. Albans, and Sudbury cry out to Heaven fur amendment, if not for vengeance. Then, indeed, the St. Albans inquiry would be totally thrown away, and all the lessons of election committees upon the truly rotten boroughs of our later day would be lost, and of no avail. We believe that there will be disfranchisement, and en franchisement too. We believe that on this part of the subject our generally well-informed cuntempuraiy is led astray, or is the dupe of his own misgivings, without taking Into account the honest,- of a minister who would not pro pose a reform before the time was ripe, but who is far too earnest a reformer to pledge the Queen's government to a " mockery, a delusion, and a snare ;" or to commit the great party who have selected him as their leader to any measure unworthy of their reputation or his own. We be-, lieve, further, that it is not the intention of the govern ment to throw a crude or an abortive measure before tho country. On the contrary, we feel nssured that the cabinet councils so much complained of have been engaged upon a measure worthy of themselvis and of the country. THE NEW Hot'sES or PARLIAMENT.—On Friday night, at 10 o'clock, the new iioll9lll of Parliament and the various approaches to them were lighted up with gas. In the royal gallery there are plaster statues temporarily placed in the niches where the marble ones will mend when they are finished, so ex to give an air of enmpleteness to the place. 'Thu passages are all laid with a new kind of gutta percha covering, to reprewnt oil cloth. Lord Seymour was there, accompanied by Mr. lt.,rry, end afterwards went with Dr. Reid to see his heating apparatus. NI. 'Nit:lts was last week on n visit for a few days at Lord Ashburton's seat, the Orange, Hunt,. On 11:s return towards town, he went over Winchester Cathedral. THE STRIKE. LONDON. During the lest few clays a conclaco of employers has been sitting to oonsider the time when and the condi tions under which the shops should be re-opened. It is ru moured that the conference was much divided in opinion' and that one of the largest employers in the metropolis stated to a member of the Amalgamated Society that in all probability many of the closed establishments would be soon re-opened, although some of the larger ones might sustain the contest fur some time longer. The workmen state that they hare good grounds fur believing that many of the smaller masters will be ruined should their machinery remain idle for any considerable length of time, as they have no capital to fall back upon to meet the current claims of creditors. The position of the workmen remains unchanged ; they evince no symptom of regret fur the step they have taken. The number of nice out of employ in the metropolis remains nearly the same as last week —viz., about hOO society and 170 nun-society men. A large number of munldtrs discharged from l'enu's factory, at Greenwich, lave, how ever, obtained employment elsewhere; and the limn who formerly worked for Messrs. Easton and Amos, Southwark, who have been soliciting for the establishment of a shop for their own employment, have succeeded in olitainhig suited,' premises in the Mile End-rovd, and uw now actively at work on their own account. The London trade societies have generally promised to contribute toward. the support of the movement ; and it is expected that a large amount of subscriptOus will be this week received. Although a few districts of small importance have sent no returns relative to the I0,00:Y. grant fur Cu-OJvnitiro pur poses, the grant is, we understand, considered as affirmed, and measures arc being quietly taken towards carrying out the proposition of the executive council of the Ansalga• mated Society ; end, in fact, the undertaking will, in all probability, be proceeded with even in the event of a speedy settlement of the dispute; u it is felt that the existence of extensive co-operative establishments would, in any event, colder great benefits upon the op; halves con nected with the iron trades. _ _ Upwards of 1,f400 memhers of the society are emp l oye d at the different railway locomotive works, and as the men did not solicit any alteration in their system of labour, it was thought that they would be retained in their situations as usual. Such, however, it would seem, is not to be the case. The Eastern Counfica is the first railway company to open up a dispute with its enginc tr i n4 workmen, and 1.1111, 900 men will in the course of a week or so be turned out nu this line, that number of members of the Amalgamated Society being employed in the several engineering sheds of the company. MANCII ESTER. The Manchester i;;;;;dra;saYA -- 7—Therc is still no change in the relative positions of the [writers awl the men ; nor does there appear a likelihood of one occurring, until the shops are opened. A meeting of the executive council of the Central Association of Employers was held in Lon don on Thursday, at which a deputation from the Man cheater society attended, the object being to come to a defi nite arrangement as to the opening of the workshops, and the terms to be agreed to by the men before being ' engaged. On Friday evening, a meeting of the Manchester society was held at the offices in Cross-street, at which it was expected that the deputation would have been present, and reported what decision had been come to. this dtpu tation was not present, however, as they were detained in London. In reply to a telegraphic meisage, all that the Manchester secretaries learned was that it was resolved that the chops should, if possible, be opened on Monday week, the 9th instant, in order to afford work to as many ' non-society men and labourers as might be desirous of ob taining it. Wu may state that since the closing of the shop., on the 10th inst., not more than 20 men, who may be supposed to have been thrown out of employment thereby, have applied to the relieving Officers for the township of Manchester. We sincerely trust that work may be offered to the men—especially the nun-society men and labourers, who must idinost of necessity be the first to feel the pinch ing of hunger—before any considerable number of them are driven to seek parochi.d relief. LIVERPOOL. A deputation, consisting of the Mayor, Thomas Little dale, Esq., and Messrs. Hugh Hornig and J. B. Lloyd, two influential members of the town council, have con sented to wait upon Messrs. Forrester and Messrs. Fnweett, master engineers, in order to elket some arrangement be tween them and the workmen, about 11 in number, whom they have discharged, and refuse to reinstate in their shop. unless they renounce all connexion with the Amalgam a t e d Society. This the men arc unwilling to do, as they would thus have to forego their claim to assistance from the funds of what they contend is a benefit society. The deputation in to meet the employers this day. ESTABLISHMENT OF A RIFLE CORPS.—CHELTEN HAM, filkTUßlOAT.—There has been a public meeting held here, at which a rifle corps hits been established to " act under such organisation and rules for practice as her Ma jesty's government may thin!. fit to provide." The chair was taken by E. G. Ilallewell, Esq., M.P. The following resolution was adopted .—" That in consequence of the un settled state of affsirs on the Continent of Europe, it is deemed expedient that the population of this kingdom should place itself in an attitude of national defence, and that as the recent improvements in the rifle are likely to render it a most important arm In future warfare, a corps should be formed in Cheltenham, to be called tho 'Chel tenham Rifle Corps.' " A committee and officers of the club were also appointed, including a chaplain.--an office which was suggested by the lies. Francis Close, who also offered to undertake it, and his offer was accepted, RIFLE (AMPS AT PORTSMOUIII.—Actirc measures are being taken at Portsmouth to form a rifle corps among the inhabitants. 'lwo clubs are being formed. A prelinie nary meeting of one of them is to be held on Monday, at the residence of a county magistrate, W. Grant, Esq., of the firm of Grant, Gillman, and Long, the bankers, of Portsmouth • and a similar meeting of the other is appoi n t e d for Wednesday neat , . Fifty members hare already enrolled themselves in this latter club, and many others have pro mised to do so. MURDER IN SCRItEI'.—A most tragical event has just come to light. A man named Keene, who wax for merly for some time in the employment of the South Eastern Railway Company, at bhalforil station, as an en gine cleaner, was marred to • native of Albury, whose maiden name was Jane Brootuer. While ringle, about I May, 1848, she was confined of an illegitimate child, the putative father of which was stated by her to be a police man. It was after this period she was married to the man Keene, and it is alleged that one day, when walking out together on the Downs, ho took the child from her and walked away with it, loving absent front her, according to the statement, about three quarters of an hour, when he returned, bringing the shawl the child was wrapped in, and giving it to his wife, stating that she would never again want it for the same purpose it had been used (or. This happened about ten months ago. She then states that she made frequent inquiries of hint what he had done with the child ? which she must at last have elicited from him; for about a week since it is said, she disclosed to her mother the sad secret that her husband hail thrown the child down a well, situate in the warren, in this parish. This appears to have been most astounding to tho poor old woman, and of course of too serious a nature for a moment to be kept secret. She accordingly, in the anguish of her mind, communicated it to one of her sons, who soon made it known to the proper police authorities at Guildford. They immediately took Keene and his wife into custody. S u p er i n t en d ent Hadley and one of his men came to Shore, on Tuesday afternoon last, and procuring some well tackle, proceeded with proper assistance to the well pointed out by the woman Koene. A man of the name of William Edscr, who was acci dentally pausing at the time, and who had formerly assisted in digging this well, undertook to go down. The depth is shout one hundred and eighty-se feet ; when he reached the bottom he was horror struck lb wn see ing the skeleton of • child lying on its back—one foot across • small beam. On trying to lift it, it fell to pieces. Ile gathered up the bones put them into • basket, and brought them to the top with him. The police took possession, and had them conveyed to the Drummond's Arms Inn, where they were left for the coroner's inquest. The child, when thrown down the well, must have been about two years and • half old, and was represented to have been m London with an uncle of Keene's and to have died there of fever.—Surrey Stundard. MYSTERIOUS DEATH OP A WESLEYAN MINISTER AT BLACKFORD, SOKRILb ETBIII Mt.—A good deal of interest was created at Bristol, on Saturday, especially among the members of the Wesleyan connexion, in consequence of its becoming extensively known that the Rev. John Evans, a talented preacher of that denomination, and who, from his having formerly resided in the city, was familiar to and much respected by an eitensive circle of acquaintances, had been found dead in the public road at Blackford, a small hamlet in the parish of Wedmore, Somerset. The intelli gence of the melancholy occurrence was brought into Bristol by two calf and butter dealers, names' Puddy and Chilcott, by whom the discovery was first made. The rev. gentle man hod preached somewhere in the m ighbourhood of Wedmore on the previous evening, and left the house of a gentleman connected with the body for his home at Ilan well, to the circuit of which town he was appointed at the last conference meeting, having been removed from Tewkes bury. At about two o'clock, Chilcott was driving in his light cart, making for the Bristol market, when he saw what he at first supposed to be a drunken man lying in the road, with his head and the upper part of his person falling into a ditch. At some distance front him stood a harm. and gig, ' with the wheels backed into a drain or gully on the side of the road. Chilcott alighted and tried to arouse the man, when Ito found that he was dead. Ile went immediately to call fur awsistauee, and accompanied by ruddy returned to the spot. Puthly states that the circumstances which he noticed were of a very sus picious nature, and induced fears in Isis mind that the um.- fortunate gentleman had been subjected to violent treat ment. Ile sap; he observed on the road near to the spot where the hotly lay marks, as he believes, of a scuffle has Ina taken place there. These marks extended alone the side of the ditch for five or six yards; the clothes of the deceased were mudded aq if be had been drw:geil along or rolled; his hat and driving whip Icy away from him near to t':e gilt, and in the ditch beyond where he lay was his Slaeintosh, which was also dirty and appeared to have been trampled on. Upon the body, as far as they could see, were no marks of violence, and the rev. gentleman's watch was still in his bib, so that he would not appear to hove been robbed. The men, however, were compelled to go on to Bristol before a proper examinatieu of the body, sic., could be made. Tab) Intelligence.

In this ease which has been so often of late before the public, Mr. reterselorff applied for a rule for u cerLiruri to bring up the proceedings to this court. The burned gen th taan stated that he applied on the part of Browne, hut with the consent of the other two defoidahts. The grounds for the application were that the defendants wished to ob tain a social jury and the assistance of Queen's counsel; and i specially that, during the examination of the defend ants before the inagistratt a at Brighton, there had lig_ii re port., and statements printed in the local newspapers calcu lated to excite a prejudice against the defendants in the county of Sussex, and no deprive them of a fair trial. lie said the prosecutor had consented to the rule, and he thought he was entitled to it as a matter of course. Mr. J. P. Doyle said perhaps that was the proper time fur hint to state that he appeared for the prostieut,on, sod that not only was he not instructed to consent to the rule, but his instructions were to give it every opposition. (A laugh.) Mr. l'arnell said he appeared for the proeccution—(a laugh) --at boast, for the gentleman who lead loot his money, email he was repeated to consent. Mr. Doyle said he appeared fur Capt. Chase, the chief officer of the Brighton police, who was the real prosecu tor, hound over by the magistrates—(a laugh)—and di feet ly charged collusion bet WOO, the defendant and the iiiigi ual prosecutor. On the pith or December an application was made to Mr. Justice Coleridge, in chambers, es part*, for a ceritorari, and to change the v enue , founded on the same affidavits, with the consent of Mr. Hump, as pruaecu tor,. annexed, which are u se d in th e present mot i on. His lordship made no order, but gave heave fur It.IIMIIItItIS tohu issued, calling on the prosecutor and his attorney to show cause why an ewer, as prayed, should not be made. Tho summons was taken out on the next day, but up to this tine 11../ .1141310DM had been nerved on Mr. Sill, who then was, is now, and has been all along attorney for the prose eutitio. The matter may be said to be, in fact. pending, and this application was really an appeal. Nothing more was heard until the 2nd of January, when Mr. Sill was itt attendance at chambers on other business. Ilia anew: m was drawn by the clerk to some persons who ap plied to have the order :es a twitter of course. Mr. Sill found there a person who called himself managing clerk to the attorneys for John Broome, Mr. Damp, to give his consent in person, and an attorney who represented himself as the attorney tor the prosecution. There were other per sons not unknown, and amongst them ma Mr. Henry 'Demme, better kit...wit as *. Barry Broome," who appeared to ho the protector of Mr. Ilainp. (Laugiiter.l Mr. Hemp, when questioned by the clerk, said that Mr. hill was Ida attorney, Mid Mr. hili fitteettiit.i in bringing Mr. !lamp into the roots where Mr. Justice Erie was then sitting. They were followed by the other parties mentioned, whose improper iuterlecence and control over Mr. Hemp became so evident that the learned judge entered them to be removed. In reply to the question of the learned judge Mr. Hump again slated that Mr. Sill was his attorney, and Mr. J ustice Erie care the (wog man appropriate warning and advice. On retiring from the judge's room, Mr. Damp said to Mr. Sill, in his own words, that '. he did not want to have anything more to say to In: 131V0111.1"—(a laugh)—that he was very sorry, and that he would return home that night, and place Himself under the din Olen of his pi:trills:l. It appeared, how ever, front subsequent proceedings, that the defendants, or their agents • again almost hold of him aliet as soon as be left the Judge's Chambers. The change of preset:it:or made by the Brighton magistrates immediately afterwards, was done, if nut by the direction, certainly tinder the IMlCtlyll, et Mr. Justice Erle, who made an order that the affidavits tiled by the &IC:Wants should be given off the tiles of the court, to be laid before the nuatistrates. In acting as they diet the magistrates were influenced not only by a sense of public duty, but oleo by a feeling of mercy towards the un lOrtunate young noun, that be might be relieved from the importunities and persecutions of the agents of the de fendants. Mr. Petersderff said he was not prepared for the appear ance of tither of his learned friends. Ile thought Mr. Doyle was irregular in addressing the court. Lord Campbell said it aas by no means irregular; on the contrary, Mr. Doyle had come there to state facts to prevent the Court from being deceived, for which they were obliged to him. Irrespective of the facts adduced to show collusion, he (Lord Campbell) considered that the grounds laid for a certiorari were nut sufficient. There was no renson to suppose that the jury would be prejudiced by newspaper reports published before the iudietment was found. Rule refused. EIPAILIE ItAItBIIAY.—THE LATP. JCIME dr TUN LIVEIt- POOL COUNTY COURT. Sir F. Kelly was instructed to move, on behalf of Wil liam Ramshay, Esq., a gentleman at the bar, for a rule to show cause why an inforreation in the nature of a quo war ranto should not be exhibited against Joshua Pollock, Esq., calling upon him to show by what authority he claimed to exercise the office of judge of the county court of Lanca shire, h, - Id at Liverpool. Although the affidavits branched into a variety of matters, still he belie sill his application would come within a narrow compass. Mr. Itamikay was appointed early in IMO by the Earl of Carlisle, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, judge of the county court of Lancashire, held at Liverpool, and he continued to hold that office elovrn to the month of November, 18.11. lie had a great number of affidavits, which he need not read in de tail, from a number of petsons, members of tho profession of the law practising in the Liverpool County Court, as also from suitors in that court, and other persons in Liverpool interested in and well acquainted with the proceedings of the court during the whole of the period in question whilst Mr. Ramshay presided over it, approving of the conduct of that gentleman. • Lord Campbell said the court could not enter into the question of Mr. Itamshay's conduct ; that was a matter upon which the Chancellor of the Duchy was competent to pronounce au opinion, and he had done en. Sir F. Kelly thought their lordships would find that it was competent for Mr. Mirnshay to raise the clUeStion be fore @jury whether he was unable to perrorin has iluties, or had misbehaved himself so as to justify the decision which the Chancellor of the Duchy had pronounced. Lord Campbell—Does your affidavit show that Mr. Ram shay was not heard ? Sir F. Kelly—Oh no, my lord. Lord Campbell—Does it show that there was any charge against him which would not go to prove his inability or misconduct ? Sir F. Kelly—We say, my lord, that he has not Irrn guilty of any misconduct; and there is no doubt aN to his ability. Lord Campbell—You wish us to enter into the merits of the ease ? Sir F. Kelly—Clearly. I am quite aware that the court will not finally decide upon affidavits the question of ability or inability, or good behaviour or misbehaviour. Lord Campbell—Can we grant a quo warrants against Mr. Pollock upon the ground that the Earl of Carlisle, the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, haling heard the parties, and heard charges against Mr. Itamahay that would amount to misconduct, has improperly decided, and tho question can be referred to a jury ? Sir F. Kelly —Yes, my lord. Lord CamptieU.—Then we aro ready to hear you argue that question. Sir F. Kelly said it was impossible that he could do so without goilig into a general statement of the Own. Matters were brought before Lord Carlisle as to the general conduct of Mr. Itamshay throughout the whole time he had held the office, and also is to his usiduct in the particular case in respect of which the complaint had been made, and to which alone he submitted the inquiry ought to have been limited. The affidavits were not only upon the solemn oath of Mr. Itamshay, hut of a great variety of persons competent to pronounce upon the mitten in question, entirely acquitting him of the slightest ground of imputatits. Lord Campixil—According to my present view these aro questions over which we have no jurisdiction. Sir F. Kelly would proceed to the point of law as it arose upon the statute, and he heel to submit that the decision of the Chancellor of the Duchy, which was the same as that of the Lord Chancellor with reference to any other county, was of ',unveil in point of law; and was uo less open to question upon a motion for mandamus or quo warrant') ' than the dismissal of a finish clerk by a rector. If a parish clerk sees dismissed it was competent for him to come before the court and claim a mandamus to restore him to his office. Lord Campbell said ther;;;;;;:pcatcili;tl l 7te, is which that court had interfered to moon; a pari,h but then he would have been diamicaml without having been heard. Sir F. Kelly said it waa the common practice to grant a mandamus where there was a guerion of tact. The rector was not the final judge, neither was the Lord Chancellor. The livelihood of the party charged—his whole interest in life—and what was even dearer to loins than that—his charseter—depended on the reoodt—and it would be hard indeed, if there were no other means of inquiry than before a rector in the one CAW, and the Lord Chancellor in the other, who had no power to et:tvr upon such an inquiry, and (mid not administer an oath. . . . . ..... herd Campbell—We must bah to see what the legiclw twee has enacted in this matter. ...Sir E. Kelly—Undoubtedly, and it was to that he was about to refer. Ile apprehended that the law M the present we was similar to that of the rector and the parish clerk, the common law having given the same power to the rector as the statute had to the Lord Chancellor; and if them had been a dismissal, and it Was alleged that there had been no inability or miseentluot, and a good prima fade ease was brought under the consideration of that court, the question betlur there had been a dismimul without due eat ,e 11'31 one which emelt to be teat to a jury.
