I a supplemental service. It is, of course, necessary I for the ordinary service that the Post-office should have power to compel the companies to run proper trains for the mail service, to fix the hours of the de-1 FRANCE. parture and arrival of the mail trains, to regulate within certain limits their speed, the stations to be stopped at, the carriages to be provided, and such like other Stringent powers. These the 1& 2 Vic., 98, confers on the Potent sierra-GENERAL; taking care, how ever, that companies shall be properly paid for the service. And for the night and day mails carried by the authority of this statute, the companies are, as a general rule, very substantially reemoversted. The rates paid them vary greatly, ranging from IL to 4s. fd. a mile; but the total antoontpehl la 1860 by the Post-office to railway companies wan sot kw than 403,000!. The cost of the old coaching system was about 300,000!. a year; but though on the great arterial lines of communication the railways have superseded that system, the extension of Poet-office accommodation under the penny postaa ggee and railways has been such, that the cost of the sub sidiary or horse mail service now equals what was formerly paid for the whole mail coaching sys tem, viz., about 390,000/. a year. For this great sum of 403,990/. paid railways, the public receives, no doubt, great accommod ation. a town in the kingdom but now has two de liveries of letters daily ; and that might not have as many as Brighton, viz., four, if that cordial co-ope ration existed between the Post-office and railways, which is the pecuniary interest of both. Not, indeed, that the Post-office could afford to establish and pay for more than two mail trains daily ; hut that more advantage might be taken to send mail bags by the intermediate trains provided that it could be dune on terms that would be profitable to the companies with out being a burthen to the Post-office. It seems to have been for this purpose, that tho eleventh section was introduced into the Act of 7 and 8 Vic., c. N.i. It enacts that the Past-office shall have power " to send any mail guard with bags not exceeding the weight of luggage allowed to any other peuwenger (or subject to the general rules of the company for any excess of that weight) by any train other than a mail train, upon the same conditions as any other passenger ;" a power, it might have been thought, needless to secure by statute, seeing it is only the common law right of every loan. This power, granted in 1844, has, how ever, been very usefully exercised on many lines ever since. No English company has thrown any obstacle in the way of its exercise; for here railway companies promote the public service; one great company, at least, when the bags would not defray the cost of a first-class fare each way daily, has con sented to carry them as panels; and to meet the requirements of the public, we think, will sooner or later bring the conveyance of letters on cross routes or short distances. This enactment, accepted in a right spirit on the F.nglish lines, has, on the contniry. provoked great hostility in Scotland and Ireland. Thus, for instance, a Scottl company, admitting that it gave the Post office a right to send a guard from ohe terminus to the other. denied that it conferred any authority for him to throw out or take in bags at the intermediate stations. On an appeal to a court of law, the com pany was, however, better informed as to the mean ing of the statute, and the right of the Post-office in that respect was judicially affirmed. In Ireland an objection of a different order was taken. There, it was contended that the Post-office could not exer cise this right on a line on which they had not an ordinary mail service; and so, strange to soy, the Irish judges have ruled: the effect of the deci sion being that no mail hags are now carried on the particular line, to the serious injury of the localities through which it cane, and which it feeds at either end. The bill now before parliament is to settle the law, and to give full force to the 7 and M Vic., c. H.l, a. 11. It proposes to confer, in express words, tho powers on the Post-otfice, which have been disputed in Scotland and Ireland, to enable the guards to deliver bags at all stations at which the train stops, and to travel with Imp, whether or not there is an ordinary mail service on the line. It makes no attempt to extend the authority of the Post-office over ordinary trains in other respects. Companies may take them off, put them on, change the hours of departure, stop them or not at the various eta.. titan, travel at what speed and raise the fares as they choose. All that is sought is that the Post-office shall use them as they find theta on paying ordinary faraii no more power is sought. And nothing, we must say, can be more reasonable. fly railways a first class daily passenger will be acquired, in respect of whom no liability will be imposed; if he carry more luggage than is allowed, he will pay for it; if he gets out of his carriage and is not back again in time, lie will be left behind. The guard so travelling is to have no privileges, except that of throwing bags out at stations and taking others in. Nor can this declaration of what the law is—for the bill substantially amounts to no more—at all Whet the ordinary mail services on railways ; for the hours at which the habits of the country require the great bulk of letters to be despatched, place the Post office very much at the disposal of railway com panies. No such guard can be substituted for the night service: for in that case the companies would of course drop the night trains, and leave the Pest i:Alice in the lurch. 'Hie requirement in question is and can only be a supplemental convenience for the additional accommodation of the public. And that, it is to be hoped, neither Scotch nor Irish influence will induce such a man as Mr. GLYN to oppose or obstruct in the House of Commons. Hitherto rail ways have been powerful there, because of the justice and reasonableness of their position before; let them, however, reverse that position, by opposing the public interests, and water will not be weaker. been projected for next month, and for the loss of which, in the view of the tradespeople, the gaieties of the Hotel de Ville will be a very poor com pensation.

The following very remarkable proclamation, ac companying an ordinance dissolving the Anhalt-Dessau and Anhalt-Kothen Chambers, has just been issued by the Grand Duke of that state: " To my People,—Three years have passed since the de plorable convulsions that shook all Europe took place. A power called the will of the people disturbed violently and precipitately at that period a state of things accompanied by many blessings, to set up the work of a sick and crazy season in the place of it. The church, although the strongest pillar of the state, was to be separated from the state ; re ligious confessions were to be banished from the schools, irreligion to be sanctioned by the law ; and a false freedom, ' in direct opposition to all which has been hitherto held sacred, was to give prosperity to the people. But the de plorable example of foreign countries, and our own expe rience, have shown us to what abys•es of ruin these prin ciples lead. The German governments have there fore pledged themselves to each other energetically to withstand their further development; they will not suffer the internal peace and welfare of states, which de pend upon the undisturbed cultivation of commerce and industry, on reverence for lawful authority, on religion and murals, to be further undermined ; they will not suffer the German people, who have become great by their fidelity and love to that princes, to be deprived of their noblest virtues. "I have never thought for a moment that the welfare of my people could be founded on deeds and institutions of disorder and destruction ; and although, by the pressure of circumstances, I was obliged to introduce them into the laws of the land, it was only with the certain hope that their pernicious influence would soon be universally ac knowledged. This hope has not deceived me. The best part of my people arc anxiously desirous that the novelties of the revolution, which go beyond real progri,s, should be abolished. It would have been very pleasing to me if I could have accomplished that object by means sanctioned by the constitution, but the obstinate resistance of a few men, who have not justification but the accident of prema ture election, force me to abandon this course. . . " The divine ordinance and the rights and dutieiflowing therefrom, which are not invalidated by the constraint of au incompetent and illegal force, command me at present no longer to suffer the continuance of circumstances and institutions which I—and with me the best of my peo ple—regard as unwholesome and pernicious. Willingly would I take intoaccount the wishes of my people, expressed by worthy and enlightened representatives. But that I may learn from parties in whom confidence may be placed what these wishes are, it is above all things necessary that means should be adopted to protect the election of deputies from the influence and aetior. of a reprobate and revolu tionary party. I have therefore called upon my council to prepare a new law of election, and will give publication to the same as noon as I have come to the necessary under 'tending thereupon with my cousin, his Royal llighness the Duke of Anhalt Bcrnburg. " Fear God, and obey his commands—that is the motto of my house. This is my highest law, and with this I will make my people happy; and so I trust that, in opening this new chapter of my government, the divine blessing will not be wanting. Dessau, July 20, 1)151." " Ltorotn FREDERICK. The ordinance dissolving the Chambers follows this pro clamation, in which ordinance the 2nd and the riOth articles of the constitution, which provide that, on the dissolution of the Chambers other Chambers shall be immediately con voked, are delared to be suspended. The DI! Ili nide .11yontine Zeitung gives the text of the joint proposition of Austria and Prussia, which was laid, on the 19th, before the Dirt, relative to measures to be taken with reference both to the press and to the police for the security of Germany. In this document it is pro posed that a committee of the Diet should be chosen to draw up a report promptly un the subject ; and more especially to determine on what occasion commissioners from the Diet should be ntrat with sulhunity into particular states, on any refusal on the part of particular states to obey the injunc tions of the Diet; and what the powers of these commit sioners should be. Further, it was required that the bund should, having obtained the unanimous consent of the As semble, place a general interdict upon all journals and periodical publications which may advocate socialist or com munist doctrines, or any principles calculated to overthrow or injure monarchy. The Krell,: Zeitatig, alluding to the report, subsequently contradicted, that Russia had sent a note to England, wherein, in the name of Austria and l'rueda, as well as in her own name, it was said to be declared, that in case of any dangerous popular demonstration in Italy, those powers would interfere to preserve or to restore order, now reiter ates the assertion that a note to the effect mentioned has certainly been sent from the court of St. Peteniburgh to that of St. James's, and that in that note Russia does not speak in her own name alone.

The proclamation I sent you yesterday, from the Duko of Anhalt-Dessau, is the must thoroughly full-blown of all the fruits which the re-established Frankfurt Diet has yet produo.d. It would be absurd to attribute this act to any spontaneous move on the parkof the Anhalt government or of its petty:sovereign. The proclamation comes from Franks fort, and can be regarded only as an announcement of the principles and purposes of the three great powers, Russia, Austria, and Prussia, and their confe derates—at this pre- sent crisis. The Diet's interference in the internal affairs of Here Cassel came first openly, through the Diet's commissioners ; then came quickly after the new Austrian press law, abolishing a free press, and slowing only a servile one to exitt by suffrance ; he Mecklenburg-Schwerin edict to the like effect followed; and, lastly, this Anhalt-Desom proclamation, which throws off the mask completely, and exhibits, under its broadest aspect, a determination to ex punge entirely from the history of Germany—except as an ugly and fearful episode—all that has happened during tha last three eventful years. It is to be remarked that in this proclamation it is for the first time distinctly acknowledged that the German rove vereigns have formally entered into a pact to suppress the development of the principles of civil liberty in Germany. 'fhe Duke of Anhalt-Dessau also declares, in express un equivocal terms, that by virtue of his divine right, he issues an edict for the express pu rp ose of violating a con stitution and laws sanctioned by himself, and which he has solemnly sworn and pledged himself to his subjects to uphold ; and a very peculiar and re markable feature of this princely deed is, that both in the preamble and the conclusion of the proclamation, making it known, and in order, no doubt, to justify it, all religion, all godliness, all faith, is claimed as a monopoly for princes and their supporters, whilst all who oppose them are de nounced as the reprobate and the ungodly, whom it is the first duty of governments to crush. PARIS, MONDAT EVENING. The event of the day is the eclipse, for observing which the weather has been favourable. A large business, has been doing on the Boulevards in the male of contrivances for tempering the still too daz zling revs of the diminished luminary. At half-past three the sun appeared no bigger than a moon of about four days old. Bat although Sol's disc was covered to thi , extent of 10.12ths, his remaining rays were quite enough to prevent ally of those striking effects which will have been witnessed in the north of Europe. A singular gloom prevailed for more than an hour, and towards the climax the sun was surrounded by a luminous rainbow-like aureole, funning a complete circle of about 100 yards in diameter to the vulgar eye. The members of the Assembly were chiefly occu pied with observing the phenomenon, to do which they all issued from the Chamber in a body and hastened down the steps to the quay, armed with bits of smoked glass., and discs of blue pasteboard with pinholes. Some snatcked leaves front the Pre sident's garden, which they punctured, and applied to their eyes. Others were accommodated with buc kets of water, in which they contemplated the shorn rays of the dimmed luminary. Engaged all intently during nearly an hour en thus occupation they looked more like a detachment of the Scientific Association than the members of a legislative assembly. At four, that is about half-an-hour after the crisis of the eclipse the representatives re-entered the legislative', hive, and renewed their labours, which consisted in disposing of a series of motions of no importance whatever. The only occurrence worth mentioning was the deposition of M. Manescan's report on the motions for prorogation on the part of the com mittee of leaves of absence. This, as I have pre viously stated, recommends the Assembly to prorogue itself from the 10th August to the 20th October. GREECE.

A special committee has been ordered to inquire into and report on the sulject. The murderer of Lieutenant Johnstone, of the sth Madras cavalry, has not yet been disc overed. Other officers' lives have been threatened at Jaulnah, and altogether the affairs of the cavalry at that station wear a serious aspect. The rains have set in at Bombay very auspiciously, and upwards of 25 inches have already been mea sured.

Our Bengal papers come down to the 15th inst. The committee on ship-burning were pursuing their object with praiseworthy assiduity, but it was feared nothing of moment would come of their investiga tions. Five Lascars of the crew of the late ship Ariel have been sent up for trial, for incendiarism, in the Supreme Court, and it is probable some dis closures may be made by them, which will lead to an exposure of the whole system by which so many of our best vessels have been destroyed. An act has been passed by the Legislative Council of Calcutta, suspending the allowance hitherto granted by the state to the temple of Juggernauth. As a matter of course, the native press has been loud in its denun ciations of the measure, one which ought to have been adopted years and years ago. A grant of three thousand pounds has been sanctioned for the improvement of the Hedgelee embank ments; and a like sum has been granted to Dr. O'Shaughnessy to enable him to carry on the electric telegraph experiment. A rumour prevailed that , 1 Mr. Law, superintendent of police at Calcutta, was l about to resign. A plan for amalgamating the Mili tary and Orphan Funds under one paid management is said to be in contemplation. l'he death of a Senor Manuel Larruletta, a Spaniard, at one time factor to the Philippine Company, and afterwards of the house of Mackintosh and Co., and latterly collector of river tolls on the Bhaugerutty, is reported as having occurred at Jungyporc about the 18th May. A tradesman named Lattey has applied to and been granted permission by the Supreme Court to be en rolled in the list of grand jurors. A number of the students of the Madressa College have been expelled therefrom for insubordination. They have latterly been petitioning government to re-adtitit them, but in such a manner as to preclude their request from being complied with. The Bishop of Calcutta had been somewhat indisposed. A few conversions of Ilindoos to Clwistianity are reported. Drawings of the ruins near Gour are about to be taken, at the desire of the Asiatic Society, by Captain Lagard, engineer at Ber hamper°. Part of the fund subscribed for a monu ment to the late Dr. Chalmers of Calcutta, is to be appropriated to the endowment of a scholarship or annual medal at the Medical College. It is believed that in future the government uncovenanted assis tants will be allowed the boon of visiting England on sick leave. Captain Melvin, Und N. 1., has inva lided, and is, it is reported, about to join the Calcutta Englishman as one of its editors. l'he gallant cap tain was one of the Atfghan captives, and published one of the best accounts of the events of those days which have been given to the world, under the sig nature of "A Quondam Captain," in the paper of which he is now about to assume joint editorship.— It is said Sir L. Peel retires in next cold season, and that he will be succeeded as chief justice by Sir I. Colville. Government has at length passed and promulgated the :act for liquidating the claims of those who suf fered by the defalcations of Sir Thomas Turton in the office of ecclesiastical registrar. It is Act No. 5 of For Relief of certain Sufferers by the Insolvency of Sir Thomas Turton, Baronet. All those whose claims are acknowledged are in the A, li, C, and ]) schedules of the commission of inquiry, and will be Judd off immediately at the government treasury. To reimburse itself for this outlay, the company makes itself heir to all estates lying in the administrators hands unclaimed for fifteen years. Those whose losses were seemingly hopclesi will now recover them. There is very little news from Scinde, as usual. The weather was cool and pleasant, and but little sickness of any kind prevalent—cholera had almost disappeared at Kurrachee, but Major Edward Townsend, of the 83rd Foot, had died from the disease on the 2nd inst. The deaths of Mr. Klophell, band-master of the 22nd Native Infantry, and an European sergeant of Engineers, named Eccles, are also reported as having occurred at Lukkur. We learn from the Punjaub of the death of Lieut. Hay, commanding one of the irregular batteries, at Kohat, on the 7th inst. A good deal of feverprevailed amongst the troops at the station. A great portion of the thatched barracks of her Majesty's 3rd Dra goons at Wuzeerabad were destroyed by fire on the evening of the 10th instant ; the men will now have to live in tents during the hot and rainy weather till fresh ones can be erected. The Jullundhur police have succeeded in capturing the runaway Wuzeer of the Jcswun Rajah, who had in July, 1849, escaped from gaol and made his way to the Kangra hills. He had been convicted of being a rebel, and sen tenced to 14 years' incarceration, and on his escape a reward of 500/. was offered by the Board of Admi nistration for his re-capture. rhe Lahore Chronicle of the 11th inst. gives the following:—The wretched murderer belonged to the 10th toot, and was secured by a party of - his corps while frantically hacking and hewing at the gallows close by, on which most probably his corpse will ere long swing as an expiation of his offence against the laws.—Up to the latest accounts received the Sikh corps con tinued quiet and orderly • the command had been as sumed by Captain Marshall;: and Mr. Denison, assistant commissioner, and the officer in charge of the troops, had paid a visit of condolence to the son of the murdered - Jewun Singh, a compliment from Europeans always highly appreciated by natives. A report was this morning spread throughout Lahore, that a mutiny bad occurred at lituritsir among the Sikh corps of Jewun Singh, a distinguished officer who has done good service to the British government, both before and since the annexation. We are happy to say that there is no truth in the report, but regret much to add that Jewun Singh himself has fallen a victim to the fury of a drunken European soldier. The particulars are these: Yesterday morning, the 10th of June, a corporal's party was sent from Govind,gurh into the town of L mritsir to look for two European soldiers of the Fort garrison, who were absent without leave. On passing the gate guard, the corporal requested the native officer to detain the absentees if they should pass that way. Shortly after the men came, they were stopped and taken in the guard room, when one of them became furious, seised a sword and threat ened the guard. Jewun Singh, the commandant, hap pening to be there, endeavoured to appease him, on which the fellow rushed at the commandant and inflicted such a severe wound over the neck that he died a few minutes after. The guard made a close prisoner of the other European, but appear not to have hurt him, although they were greatly enraged. The whole of Jewun Singh's regiment was naturally much excited, for he was greatly beloved by them. He was an excellent officer, and while commanding his regiment, the only durbar one at Umritsir during the war, not only himself remained faithful, but on one occasion seized and summarily confined in irons, a sub adar and part of one company that proposed to)oin Sher° Singh. To him in a great measure may be attributed the perfect peace that subsisted at Cmritair throughout the in surrection. Government rewarded him by trebling his pay and giving hi m a handsome sword aud drew of honour. 1 his news reached Lahore yesterday evening ; the intelli gence of this morning is that everything is perfectly quiet and that no sort of disturbance is expected, though the eiti zena as well as the soldiers deeply sympathise with the family of the murdered officer. On the 22nd of May an extraordinary fall of ice occurred near Bangalore, during a storm of thunder, lightning, and rain; the hailstones which at tint made their appearance were about the size of limes and oranges, but broke through the tiles and roofs of houses, and destroyed gardens and fruit trees. Some of the hailstones found next morning were as large as goose eggs, some as big as pumpkins; one block, found in a dry well, measured four feet and a half in length, three in breadth, and one and a half in thickness. It was probably the result of the cemen tation of several of the smaller pieces into one lump, although the fall of pieces of ice of this size is not unfrequent in India. In the reign of Tippoo Sultan a piece was found the size of an elephant, which took several days to melt; in 1826, a piece of similar size fell in Candeish ; in 1838, a block of ice, apparently a mass of cemented hailstones, was found near Dharwar, measuring 20 feet in circum ference. The shower of meteors, formerly mentioned ' as having been seen on the evening of Easter Sunday at Bombay, Poona, Kolapore, and Cawripore, is de scribed as having been visible at Slukarpore, in Upper Scinde, is let. 28 deg. N., lon. 69 deg. E., or over an area of eleven degrees from north to south, and ten from east to west—nearly 700 miles in each direction, the largest expanse wo can remember of, over which any meteor or set of meteors of well as certained identity has been observed. A movement amongst the mercantile community has taken place at Calcutta, with the view of placing British and American vessels trading with the port on a more equal footing than they at present occupy. No report has as yet been made by the committee appointed to inquire into the causes and cure of ship-burning. The report of the auditors on the affairs of the Agra Bank has been published: the scrutiny they seem to have undergone appears to have been most searching, and the results are in the last degree satisfactory. Nothing further in reference to the Oriental Bank frauds has been published since our last: the abuse heaped on the officers of the bank is said to have emanated from parties whose ground of offence with them arises from the reverse of the negligence in looking after the bank's assets ascribed to them. It is generally believed in well informed quarters that the defalcations will be fully covered by the securities. Some interest has been manifested as to the effects likely to be produced on the earthworks of the railway by the burst of the monsoon, and it is satisfactory to learn that they have suffered no material injury from a total fall of twenty-four inches, six of which fell in eight hours' time, an event of very unusual occurrence, even for Bombay. The criminal sessions commence next week : the calendar is an unusually heavy one. [For markets see hit page.] ebe court. • OSBORNE. NfoxnaT, iri.v 28.

The dates are—llombay, June 25, and Calcutta, Juno 12. Our correspondent's letter is as follows: BOMBAY, Jrsz 25. During the past fortnight there have been a couple of shipwrecks at the entrance of the harbour, one of which was attended with fearful loss of life. The ships were the Atict ltohoman, from Jedda, with pilgrims, and the English vessel Charlotte, Captain Douglas, from Calcutta to Bombay. The first went ashore on the island of Kenery, when up wards of no of the pilgrims perished. The Char lotte was destroyed off Jingecrah, 20 miles south of Kenery--crew all saved but two. The following accounts of these disasters are from the local papers : Pratei OP THE. ATIET ROKOMAN. On the 14th inst. a report was made to the Commander- in-Chief of the Indian Navy, that a ship had been wrecked est the island of Kcnery on Tuesday morning. The vessel I moved to be the Atict Rohoman, belonging to the Bybee of Cannadore, bound to Bombay from Jcdna and Mocha, with 300 pilgrims and a quantity of treasure, coffee, and malt, on board. Five days previous they had made Kcnery, and stood in for the harbour. Before sunset the light house was seen. Signals were made, which were answered from the outer light ship. Shortly afterwards a very heavy squall came on, rind the nocodo, finding his vessel drifting in shallow water, let go hie anchors. In the middle of the night, the ship labouring and rolling very much, lost her rudder; soon after this the cable parted, and she drove on to the island of Kenery. Daylight found the bottom of the vessel gone, and the remains of the wreck driven up alongside the fort walls—all the °oats broken or washed away. Many of the passengers stepped from the vessel on to the walls, but numbers were cast into the sea and drowned. The Medusa steamer, in command of Lieut. King, with Mr. Norman Oliver, first assistant master attendant, on board, and two pilot boats in tow, was imme diately despatched to Kenery to render assistance. She returned on the 15th, bringing with her about 175 souls, and treasure to the amount of half a lukh of rupees. Nearly 17:5 of the pilgrims are missing, rind have, it is to be feared, met a watery grave. This is another instance of the awful sacrifice of life occurring from a vessel being lost for want of sails, anchors, &e., and the absence of efficient officers to manage her. The sails of the Atiet Itohoman were blown away, and there were no others to replace them, and she appears to have been sadly deficient in anchors. Why do we not legislate to prevent such instances as these of want of proper officers and stores ? The vessel was a total wreck when the Medusa left, and there was still a large quantity of treasure in the water near the island. After the above was in type we received the following letter, the writer of which has out best thanks: ALII1A1:611, JUNE 12, 11411.-1 have just returned from ThuU, having gone thither to render medical assistance, &c., to a few people who had come on shore on pieces of plank, &c. It appears from the account I gut from one of the men saved, that yesterday morning the ship or brig Atict Itohoman, a vessel built at Cochin, was making for Bombay, when she drifted on the reef of rocks near the island of Kenery, four miles from this, and went almost im mediately to pieces. 11cr anchor broke away, and she also unshipped her rudder previous to striking 'on the rocks. I letve counted Si dead bodies lying on the beach between Thull and Kheim, chiefly women. The total number on board, according to the account I received, was about 400 pilgrims and 7d Lascars, &c. Four men and two women have come ashore between this and a place called Amos, two miles below Khans, and a boat has been sent out to the islands of Mowry and Kenery to look for any persons that may have got ashore on them. WILMA OF THE OIARLOTTI. The following are the particulars we have been enabled to collect in regard to this nutortunate event, and which may be relied on as perketly correct. The Charlotte left Calcutta on the let instant, and was tossed about, as is usual in this season of the year, in the Bay of Bengal. On the whole her voyage was very tedious and troublesome. About a week ago She encountered very bad weather; for two days the sun was not seen, and in canrquence no ob servations were taken, and the captain was in great doubt i about the latitude the ship was n. On Wednesday last, the I Ith instant, a faint observation was taken, which in duced the captain to go about directly to the northward, as AP found he had been provnou.ly mistaken is hi's Intitude. This was along the Ilubsheesh country, 20 or 30 miles south of Bombay. The weather was very thick and squally, and the winds so boisterous that the ship was driven about very vio lently. until she was eventually in six fathoms, when the captain deemed it advisable to conic to an anchor, giving her a whole chain. The sea, however, setting in stronger every minute, a second anchor was dropped with sixty fathoms of chain, and after labouring greatly for two or three hours the ship parted from both chains, and in con sequence of the heavy surf drove towards the shore until six o'clock on the same evening, when she grounded half a mile from the shore in a most perilous and confined Si tuation, the wind blowing at the time a perfect gale, and a heavy swell running in to the shore. The captain and crew remained on board all that night, and the follow ing morning at six o'clock the mate with twelve hands in the ship's cutter tried to land. A heavy surf was running at this time, and when the cutter had got about half way between the ship and the shore, the boat swamped, and one European apprentice and a native Klaseee were drowned ; the mate and the remainder of his party were providentially enabled to reach the shore, partly by the aid of the oars they had with them, and partly by swimming, but their paation is represented as having been most perilous, and that they were all nearly drowned. Immediately after reaching the land at Jinjoora the mate procured writing materials, such as were to be had in the village, and wrote the letter which we noticed on Monday, reporting the loss of the vessel, and applying for assistance from Bombay. The letter was entrusted to two of the villagers, who were promised 20 rupees as a reward if they delivered it safely, which they did, and on a representation being made to go vernment on the subject, instructions were issued to the agent at Angria's Colaba to render every assistance in his power to the captain and crew of the Charlotte. At noon that day, with the rising tide, the masts went overboard, and the ship parted amidships. Five minutes previously the captain and remainder of the crew left her, as they taw she could not hold together long: they proceeded ashore on a small raft which they had constructed formed with two royal yards and broken spars, and in this frail vessel they eventually got safely on shore, but greatly exhausted, and nearly overcome from the force of the ele ments. The ship soon went to pieces ; the shore for miles was strewed with fragments of the vessel, and the cargo, which consisted chiefly of rice and gunny bags, valued at 60,000 rupees, the vessel also being worth a similar sum—both the cargo and vessel were insured, but not to their full value. The captain and mate, with the crew, principally natives, then proceeded by foot along the coast until they reached Angria's Colaba, where they were hospitably treated by the agent, Mr. Jones, and sent over to Bombay, where they arrived late on Monday night, without having been able to save the least particle of property belonging to them ; ths captain's loss is particularly.heavy, as he was part owner of the vessel and cargo, The Governor of Bombay reached Poona from the hills on the 12th instant, the commander-in-chief having preceded him by four days. The latter held a levee on Monday last. There have been several deaths of late in the Bombay army—Colonel Ogilvie, advocate-general, died at Poona on the 1 ith. Captain Wollcv, 14th N. 1., at Madras on the sth ; Major Townsend at Kurraehee • Assistant-Surgeon A. Harris in the Persian Gulf, on the 2nd ; and Lieut. Donne, Engineers, in Poona. It is said that Major E. Walter, 3rd Bombay Cavalry, has been purchased out by the officers of his corps for 4,7001. Sir E. Perry has been elected President of the Asiatic Society in the room of Mr. Willoughby, gone home. Major P. S. Kinner will succeed the late Colonel , ' Ogilvie as Advocate-General. Colonel Roberta will, it 111 believed, be appointed to the command at Shola : pore, Colonel Cumming having left on sick leave ; in this case Colonel Shoat, now commanding the sill N.l at the presidency, will proceed to relieve Roberts, to Sattara—the command of this corps tall tug to Major Hawkins. Captain Thornbury, secre tary military board, has obtained leave to the Neil gherries, anil intends retiring from the service—his brother officers being about to purchase him out. The Feroze steamer has gone to the Laceadives ' with provisions for the inhabitants, who are said to be starving. The Liverpool brig Mary, on her way to China, had to put in to Cochin, having lost three officers and several of her crew after leaving Bom bay. There she has to remain till she can obtain others from Bombay. Mr. E. Roberts, conservator of forests at Surat, died there on the 3rd inst. Dr. ICahill is about to be purchased out of the service. A new masonic lodge has been built and consecrated 1 at Belgaum. There is a rumour abroad that Dost Mahomed, of Cabuol, is dead, but it wants confirmation. Lord ilalhousie has published a complete refutation of Sir C. .Napier's version of the Arratoon story. The Cotumander-in-Chief of India has directed that no pour `g ensigns or cornets shall in future be allowed to exctango corps more than once, and then only on ELECTION OF A SHERIFF. Yonerday a common hall leas held for the eke tiou of a sheriff in the room of Mr. Janie. Hartley, who, upon being declared, together with Mr. Cotterall, to fill the office, declined to serve, and paid the tine. Soon after the announcement, that Mr. Hartley woaldnot for the pre sent accept the office, bad been made several gentlemen of influence in the City waited upon Mr. Richard Swift, a I gentleman of high respectability and considerable attain ments and affluence, and without difficulty obtained his consent to become a candidate for the dignity. At one o'clocl. the Lord Mayor, accompanied by several of the aldermen,the sheriffs, and the high City officers, ap peared upon the hustings, and The RECORDER. represented to the livery the peculiar circumstances under which they had been called together. The right hon. and learned gentleman concluded his brief address, by stating that it was in the power of any member of the livery to propose any qualified person, although the name might not be included in the formal list of those pro posed to their acceptance. The TOWN-CLERK having read the long list of names, Mr. WINKWORTH came forward upon the hustings to propose William Richard Swift us a candidate for the office. (Cheers, and a cry from a few persons in front of the hustings of " He's a catholic," which was drowned in ap plause.) In Mr. Swift the constituency would have a sheriff who would not only maintain their rights and privileges, but would most splendidly supper: the hos pitalities of the office and discharge all its duties in the most vigorous manner. (Loud Accra.) Two or three persons in the crowd mid, " You may as well propose Cardinal Wiseman as sheriff," but they were soon silenced by overwhelming cheers. Mr. 'l'. NORRIS, the common councilman, sceon fled the nomination of Mr. Sisal. _ _ The moues were then put up, and the hall resounded with acclamations when the name of Mr. Swift was an nounced. The sheriff declared that the election had fallen upon Richard Swift, Es 9., citizen and spectacle maker, and the newly-elected sheriff was formally called upon to take upon himself the office. _ . _ Mr. SWIFT immediately presented himself upon thc hus tings thanked them, and was cheered from every part of the hall. _ _ The sheriffs then proceeded to the Court of Aldermen, and announced that the election was at un end, and the hall was dissolved. TOE GREAT EXHIBITION.—Yesterday 3,1941. 13s. was taken at the doors, and 67,170 persons entered the building. Of these a very large party came from the town and neighbourhood of Reading, and marched in procession from the Waterloo station to Ityde-park, headed by a baud of music and witk a profusion of banners. The eclipse of the sun which took place yesterday seems to have inspired the Executive Committee with formidable apprehensions of the diminution of light which was likely V.; 'take place in consequence. They had all the gas lamps in the interior put in requisition. ROYAL NAVAL SCROOL.—Yesterdny a meeting of the governors of this school was held at the Schools, Dept ford, fur the purpose of passing the necessary by-laws to au thorise the admission into the school of the sons of persons not being officers in the Royal Navy and Marines. Admiral SirWatkin Pell took the chair. Some slight discussion ensued relative to one or two points in the alterations proposed, but the following resolutions, which are merely a slight digest of those proposed, were ultimately carried unani mously. That the children of persons not being officers in her Majesty's Navy or Marines and the children of those I officers in her Majesty's Navy and Marines, but not holding the rank heretofore mentioned, should also be eligible for admission upou certain terms and resolutions. That the number of pupils not bring the sons of officers in her Majesty's Navy or Marines, should not at any time exceed the one third of the number of the pupils that the school might for the time being lie capable of accommodating. That no pupil admitted into the school not being the son of an officer holding such rank in her Majesty's Navy or Marines should be capable of being presented with any naval or marine cadetship placed at the disposal of the council by the Lord High Admiral of Oreat Britain, or of participating in any benefit arising from "The Yarborough Scholarship," as well as from any be nefit arising from 'Malcolm's Royal Naval School Legacy," and that the council be empowered from time to time to fix the number of boys as well as the sum of money to be paid for their board and education, and to make such rules as they may deem expedient. INFIRMARY FOR FISTULA.—AUXILIARY SOCIETY. The eighth anniversary festival of the above institution (founded by the patients in 1839) took place yesterday at Highbury-barn tavern, Islington, Mr. Owillim in the chair. About 120 gentlemen sat down to dinner. The usual loyal toasts were duly drank, after which the chair man proposed " Success to the Fistula Infirmary, Charter house square, , ' which he said during the 15 years of its existence hud done a vast amount of good, by the alleviation of human suffering. He stated that he was surrounded by those who had been relieved by the institution, and that they could bear ample testimony to the truth of what he asserted. Since the establishment of the society, 6,500 sufferers bad been relieved, out of which number upwards of 2,000 had undergone surgical operation and were effectually cured. A more gratifying fact was that during the existence of the society, not a single death had occurred while the patients were under treatment. The chairman further stated that it was in contemplation to erect a more commodious building in the City-road, and expressed a hope that the appeal to the public in support of the society , would not be in vain. It wav intended that the new building should be capable of accommodating four time+ the number received into the present institution in Charter-house square, and that it should be called after its founder Mr. Salmon, the "Salmonian Institution." The tout was warmly responded to. - - ANOTHER MANSLAUGHTER AT MANCIft.'STER.— Yesterday, at the Manchester Borough Court, four Irish men, named Michael, Patrick, John, and Thomas Nolan, were charged with beating and kicking to death a shoe maker, named Patrick Agnew. On Sunday evening de ceased and another man named M 4 Manus met the prtsonen and two other persons, not in custody, coming out of a pub lic-house in London-road. One of the men asked deceased fiercely " what he was looking at ?" and before Agnew had time to reply, knocked him down. M'Mattits was also knocked down, and both the men were kicked and bentea till they were insensible. M'Manus soon recovered, and carried deceased home, when he died almost immediately. The prisoners were remanded till Wednesday. . .

'THE STOURBRIDGE AND BROMSGROVE BANK FAILURE. BIRMINGHAM, MONDAY: The first proceedings in the matter o[ tho bank ruptcy of Messrs. Itufford and Wragge commenced here to-day, before Mr. Commksioner Du'guy. Me.srs. Glyn and Co., the Lontl.n bankers, were repre sented by Mr. Murray, of London • Professor Kennedy ap peared for the Oxford and Wolverhampton Railway Com- Wny ; Mr. Pangeter, of Stourbridge, and Mr. Deakin, of olverhampton, for various creditors ; Messrs. Motteram, Knight, and Co., for the petitioning creditors. After some preliminary discussion, Mr. Knight said that he had placed proofs on the files of the court amounting to from 100,0001. to 110,0001., and if it were necessary, they could tender proofs to the amount of 40,0001. in addition ; in these circumstances it appeared to him that it was the who duty of the gentlemen appeared for other creditors, especially for the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway, either to prove up to this amount or to reduce the sum which he on behalf of his clients had placed on the files. Mr. Kennedy persisted in claiming a right to examine all the proofs tendered, and ultimately he suggested an ad journment ; but the learned commissioner declined to ac cede to this. Another objection taken by Mr. Kennedy was that a creditor in one affidavit was described as a man, and afterwards as a female; but the commissioner over ' ruled that also. Attention was next called to two claims, one on behalf of a Miss Durant for 1.5,5301., and another on behalf of Miss Mary Durant for 15,1301. The objection to these by Mr. Chesshire awl Mr. T. Smith was that the original sums had been deposited many years ago, when a Mr. Biggs was in the bank with the elder Mr. Itufford, and before Mr. Wragge joined the firm, consequently inquiry was neces sary relative to that proof. It was stated, in answer, by Mr. Whitmore, the official assignee, that the bank had regularly paid the interest on both sums at the rate of I per cent. ever since they had been deposited. Mr. Commissioner Balguy admitted proof of both debts ; and then Mr. Elgie, on behalf of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway Comp Any, applied for an ad journment, in order that there might be time to consider, and appoint men of character and standing as assignees. The learned Commissioner did not appear to think there was much ground fur further adjournment ; upon which Mr. Knight named as trade asssimiees Mr. Deakin, of Stourbridge; Mr. G. Blakeway and Mr. Downing, also residing near Stourbridge; and Mr. 0. T. Williams, of London. Mr. Smith objected to the last-named on the ground that he was clerk in the banking house of Messrs. Olyn and Co., whose interests might be antagonistic to those of the great body of creditors. Mr. Murray rejoined that Messrs. Glyn and Co. did not wish to mix up with the squabbles of solicitors about the choice of assignees; they were, however, desirous of making the most of the estate, and lie thought that the appointment of Messrs. Glyn and Co. would be most Avon- throw. Mr. Commissioner Ba'guy suggested that some other gentleman should he nominated in the place of Mr. Wil liams; but this appointment being pressed, his Honour as sented. It was subsequently stated by Mr. Knight that Mears. Glyn and Co. were creditors fur 25,0001. in running bills, besides the debts for which they held good security. The gentlemen above named were then formally ap pointed trade assignees, and debts against the Stourbridge bank alone were proved fur no less than 160,0001. IRELAND. Thoth, JULY 28. The Earl of Arundel arrived here on Saturday night, and leaves this morning for Limerick, where he will find himself all at once in the midst of an Irish row, that will try his lordship's nerves, if they be in the least delicate. Already the city of the violated treaty is is a glorious state of tumult, and the unusual war-cries of " Russell" and " Arundel" wake the echoes of Garryone. Sundry skirmishes have been fought between the rival parties, and a scene of considerable violence, in which some well known professional men, and other respectably dressed persons exchanged blows, took place late on Saturday evening in the street outside `lr. Rus sell's committee-room. It is said that a Roman catholic clergyman was publicly hissed in the streets • by the Arundel mob fur having refused to take part against the local candidate. It is expected that the election will be one of the most animated that has taken place in Ireland for a long time past. Tuesday last the Midland Railway directors, Mr. Dorgan, and the government engineer, inspected the iron bridge and terminus at Galway,which was fully tested and approved. They returned to Dublin by special train, and the whole railway will be opened from Galway to Dublin on Friday next. UNIVERSITY AND CLERICAL.

SHOOTING CASE AT BATH. Yesterday, Mr. W. Bowcher was brought up at the Guildhall, Bath, charged with shooting at John Birley, with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm. The prisoner is cashier in the esta blishment of Mr. Tucker, of No. 11, Union-street, one of the largest linendrapers in the city, and the prosecutor is an assistant to Messrs. Junes and Bensley, carrying on a similar business next door. The prisoner is also related to Mr. Tucker, and during that gentleman's absence from Bath was left in charge of the premises. For some time past the proprietors of the two establishments have not been upon the best of terms, in consequence of Messrs. Jones and Beesley holding aloof from the early closing movement, and the parties have more th:in once aiipeared before the magis trates in consequence. Notwithstanding, it has never been understood that any cessation of friendly feeling between the assistants of the different establishments had occurred. However, for the last few weeks a system appears to have prevailed amongst them of throwing out water upon each other as they passed to their different doors at night in Parsonage-lane, to which the two premises extend, and it was given in evidence that the prisoner had declared that if any water was thrown on him he would shoot the party who did it. On Friday night, as he was passing Messrs. Jones and Bensley's premises, it seems that water was thrown on him, and some short time after, about a quarter past 11, as Mr. Birley, the prosecutor, who admits having thrown water out that night, was look ing out of his window into Parsonage-lane to see who was passing under, he saw a flash from the direction of Mr. Tucker's premises, heard a report, and the next moment felt himself wounded in the head. He fell back on the floor, and on putting his hand to his head, found it bleed ing, and also felt a shot under the skin. Mr. Gore, ml gem, was called in, and extracted two shots from the prose cutor's forehead ; but fortunately it turned out that he was not seriously injured. The mass of the charge had fortu nately scattered against the wall. The police were quickly in attendance, but the prisoner refused to admit them, alleging as an excuse that he had orders from Mr. Tucker to admit no one after eleven o'clock. From further inqui ries made by , the police, a warrant was issued fur the appre hension of the prisoner, and he was taken into custody on ° Saturday. The evidence yesterday was only proceeded with so far ' no direct proof being given of the tiring by the prisoner, when the case was adjourned, and the prisoner ' remanded till this day (Tuesday). Bail to any amount was offered for the prisoner, but refused by the Mayor. REPEAL OF THE WINDOW 1/PTY.—Yesterday, the new act (14 & 15 Viet. e. 36) to repeal the window duty and to substitute a house duty, was printed. This act has a re trospective operation. The new house duty will date in lEngland and %Vales from the 6th April last, and from Whit Sunday last in Scotland, from which time the window duty will cease and determine. The new duties are to be under the care of the Commissioners of the Inland Revenue. MEssEs OF THE BENGAL ARMY.—The indefatiga ble adjutant-general, desirous, if possible, to place the Mares of the different regiments throughout the Bengal army on a more satisfactory tooting, and with a praise worthy anxiety to bring their advantages within the tuefula of the youngest subaltern, has issued a ci iulsee4ll4llo , !_ l l.:\ commanding officers of regiments in w - ••( 1.,‘1 up, to forward a figured statement, showi . cAellea as share of general expenses, subeeriptii A 19 , ir month, from January, 1850, to January, ' cult task that Colonel Tucker has unde 4 10Taifi the good sense of regimental officers will • e . lllOO • I 6 .4 I hi m i n restraining . the spirit of ex ca 7 enforcing economy in en institution whit •• • ' 1 " - • • is a howl of union—ill conducted , an ,Q 1 •Vs every regiment in the servicc.—Eaglishi Nt
