W e have receind our despatches from India and China by the Overland Mail. The dates are—Cal let 20 ; Madras, 21; liongliong, 11 ; Sin. . , Is ; Bombay, 2S; and Burmah, 8. The following is the summary of the /;,totity We are in the receipt of intelligence from Bur- i mp h up to the sth instant, and although there is not much in the shape of news to be detailed, yet the StroLitio by the daeoits had not diminished. It is au ppostil hi those most capable of forming a eor yelpient, that as soon as the waters of th e Irrawaddy fall, tne Burmese will take advantage of . the subsidence and attack us in force. The real ruler at Ava is the Prime Minister, the brother of the King, and neither he nor his party make, it is said, any di sgu i se of their hostile intentions. One of the cause s surged for the immense increase of dacoits in the neighbourhood of Pegu is, that the last harvest of the nuts was no' gathered in consequence of our presence, and that therefore these poor people have been driven ex necessitate to plunder. It is a pity ifsuch he the case, but it is cheering to know that next season will remedy it. The two Jesuits who were associated with the Burmese commissioners in the em.lerences held at Prome for the sign ing of the treaty have arrived at Rangoon. 1 heir statements confirm all that has been hitherto alleged regarding matters at Ava. The King is surrounded by a war party, so powerful as to deprive him of i n dependent action, and a tacit consent has been wrung Iwo him to permit hostilities to he renewed with us; consequently warlike preparations are being carried on extensively at Ava, and December or January next is the period fixed upon to attack ns. The Ministers state that by that time the Irrawaddy will be too low to admit of large steamers navigating it, and that without their aid the British forces cannot cope with the Burmese. Sir Jot'o ('heape will evidently soon have an oppor tunity of distinguishing himself. The French cap. saio,lrOorguny, is still employed drilling the Bur. mese. Latest accounts mention that a serious dis turbance has broken out in the gaol at Rangoon, but particul.trs have not yet been received. The mur derer of Colonel Mackeson was hung at Peshawur on the Ist inst., and his body afterwards burned, the ashes Ix log thrown into a dirty water-course. The murderer himself remained silent, has impli cated no one, and laughed and joked with hie guards to the latest moment of his lite. Matters on our north-west frontier still continue portentous, and troops have been moved to Peshawur ; there has, however, been as yet no open demonstration, but the want of organisation, and of a leader whom they all can recogni e, alone form the grave objections is the hill tribes takirg the initiative. Reports of an intended disturbance were rife at Rawul Pindee, and great fears seem to have been entertaiaed of an outbreak ; of course the plunder of the cantonment was the tuna of oriyo of the intended incursion, but the capture of Nadir Khan, the leader of the insurgents, reassured the timid and convinced them that there was nothing to fear, and as troops have since been withdrawn from the cantonments, we may reasona bly conclude that all is quiet at least for the present. It is said, however, that the Governor- General has expressed himself very warmly regard ing the measures adopted in the north west, which he considers to have excited needless alarm, and that be has administered a " wigging" to the authorities at Peshawar. Mr. John Colvin, late judge of the Sadder Adaw let and commissioner for the Tenasaerim provinces, has been appointed lieutenant governor of the north west provinces, in the place of the late Mr. Thomason. Some: disturbances have taken place in Allygurh, Moradabad, &c. &c., attended with slight loss of life. The intelligence of the death of Sir Charles Napier has been received with geuerui sorrow in India, although from previAts reports ail were prepared for the sad announcement; a special meeting has been held in Kurrachee, presided over by Mr. Frere, the Commissioner in Scinde, for the purpose of taking into conside ration the best means of recording the estima tion in which the late General was held. Her Majesty's nth Regiment has been transferred to the Bengal Establishment, and ordered to proceed to Agra. The troops of the Horse Artillery have been ordered to stand fast until next year, so that the reliefs ordered by Sir Frederick Fitzclarence will not take place in this particular branch of the service. There is telsu a rancour that her Majesty's ti4th Foot is to proceed to Peshawar. His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief hold:. his military camp at Poona a la Chubham next month. The new Mercantile Bank gets on flourishingly. Meer Jaffer Ali Khan, son-in-law of the late Nawab of Surat, goes to England this day to support his claims against an alleged nnjast division of the property of the late Nawab of Surat. Trade is slack, but the money market is easy. The steamer Queen has returned from the Persian Oulf, out nothing in the shape of news seems to have been received by her. Something of importance was, I am told, looked for by the Persian community here, as to the attitude the Shah would assume in the event of Russia actually declaring war against Turkey. One of their number remarked to an European gentleman, to whom be WWI talking :—"lt is all well for the Padishah to pre tend to side with Russia, but, as a Mahomedan, he dare not fight against Mahomedans, and if war does break out the Persians will, as a matter of course, be found ou the side of the Turks." CHINA +-- BONG KONG, Ocr. 11. Our correspondent writes : The news carried by the mail leaving to-day is not of much interest as far as incidents and occurrences are concerned, since we arc no better informed of the progress of the rebellion than at_ the departure of the previous mail. But that the rebellion more than holds its own is a great fact, and the negative news conveyed by the present outgoing steamer is a great fact demonstrative of the advance of free opinions. From Shanghai we learn that the place is still in the hands of the Triad gen try, who were bartering with the Imperialists for evacuating the place upon the latter paying them a large sum of money. Tho insurgents or patriots at Nanking have discountenanced the proceedings of the Shanghai triadists, and accordiag to the North China Herald, the latter consist of a regular set of ragamuffins, who are disappointed in their expected plunder of the city. If the imperial forces make any bold attempt they will carry the city, and put the rebels to flight, but such is the apathy and in d:fference of the imperial authorities, that no faith is placed in their vaunted attacks. At Amoy matters were much the same. Several fights had taken place, but the firing from the Imperial junks was so ill managed that no success appears to be hoped for. In the meantime trade is altogether at a stand, with no present prospect of matters taking a favourable turn. At Canton all was quiet, but expectations were general that this quiescent state wilt not long con tinue, there being general apprehensions that the ill-disposed will seize an early opportunity . to plunder and rapine. Business continues but on a limited scale, and very sluggish for all kinds of goods. Sir George Bonham has been to Canton, with the view (it is said) of personally acquainting himself of the state of affairs, but nothing has transpired respecting his visit. The Oren lurid Friend eI China says : At Shanghai, the aspect of affairs is very bad. Since we were informed that on the eighth day after the capture of the place the rebel leader hoisted the flag of the Nanking dynasty, and it was supposed that " the leader had been waiting for permission from Nanking" before so hoisting it, it has become known that the Nanking rulers will not promise to accord to the party in possession of Shanghae any kind of sup port, and have intimated that, as they have acted hitherto on their own responsibility, so must they continue to do so, and be prepared to give up possession (if able to keep it) directly the i.e ping Wang resolves on its occupation by his officers. This having be come known to the general commanding the large body of imperialist troops encamped between Chin keang-foo and Nanking, he has valiantly resolved on doing his best to get Shanghae again under the con trol of his royal master. If money can be raised, it is not improbable that he will attempt to buy such possession ; but money is a scarce commodity with the imperialists, and it is more than likely that there will be some fighting, and, in the prospect of an evacuation, a ransack before Shanghae's cus tom-house is again superintended by the Taoutae Woo. Already there have been several encoun ters, in ono of which, at but a short distance from the walls, the rebels were worsted and driven in. This took place within eight of several foreigners, who bad a pointed opportunity for observing the total want of faith exercised by the imperialists. Atter firing away at one another for some time, the chief of the rebel party was seen to give his sword to his followers and to walk forward, making gestures indicative of desire for a parley. But his good inten tion met no similar response—a party of the impe rialists rushing on, seizing, and cutting him in pieces before the eyes of his comrades, who did their utmost to revenge his death but with little effect. From Ningpo, the next consular port south of Shanghae, the news is very threatening, the country all around, by &deices to the 20th ult., being in a disturbed state, and a rising daily expected. Amoy is still in possession of the rebels, and likely to remain so, although their PI-equipped fleet, it is probable, will be dessroyed in detail by their opponents. The possession of the water frontage, however, is not possession of the town, and there are but few prospects of an early resumption of the usual trade of the place. The Island of Formosa is also the theatre of an insurrection. H.M.'s steam ship Hermes, en route from the Madjicosmahs to Amoy, called at Tai-wau-fu, so and found the inhabitants battilcne/ with the so l diery ; Captain Fishbourne being be gg ed most earnestly to supply some gunpowder. This request was refused; but only on handing them 18 cartridges was he allowed to take some coals he had requested might be furnished to him. Between Canton and Hong Kong there is still continued fighting. A gentleman, who a few days ago received some reliable intelligence from the disturbed districts, informed us that the rebellious feeling was increasing rapidly—that the people of That-sing, a place near the Bogue, with 10,000 inhabitants, had surprised a large village, and lad killed and wounded a good many people. A story is told of a rebel who, having killed an imperialist soldier, dressed himself in his coat, to which he had added some buttons that were wanting, and went into the imperialist camp to ask for some ammunition. But the wretch having sewn on one more button than the regulation allowance, was found out and decapitated instantly. In Canton all is at present quiet. The period for northerly winds and incendiary fires, however, bad commenced—that period which the peaceably-dis posed inhabitants have so much reason to dread. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. BOMBAY, Oct. 27. We have little change to notice in the state of our money market since the date of our last report. Money still continues easy, sad the accounts received from China by the last mail have for the present given a check to the large shipments of buUion that have been going forward to that market daring the last two or three months. In joint-stock shares and government securities few transacti,ns arc taking place—the near approach of the Dewallee holidays interfering with business. Present quotations are as under:—Government Five per Cent. Loan of 1841.42, Its. 1031 per 100: Government Four per Cent. Loan of 1832-33, 1081 per 100 siccas ; Govern ment Four per Cent. Loan of 183536. 1021 to per 100 ; Government Four per Cent. Loan of 1842.43, 1021 to 1 per 100; Busk of Bombay shares, 391 to 40 per cent. prem.; Oriental Hoak Corporation, 93 to 94 per cent. prem.; Com mercial Bank, 31 to 32 per cent. prem.; Agra Bank, 48 to 60 per cent. press. &nee the 41te of our last report the business done has been extremely limited. After the Dewallee holidays, which occur immediately, it is confidently expected that there will, however, be a grest:r activity developed than has of late eeisted. . . CUTTON has at length given way in price, owing to the discouraging accousts received of its value both in the Chins and English markets, and purchases have been made of Broach cotton at Rs. 100 and 101, and of Dholerah at Ra. 03e to 95e per candy, with prospect of a still greater de cline, although contracts have been made fur the delivery of new Dholerah cotton in April neat at Rs. 94 to Re. 05e per candy. In other produce we hear of little or nothing doing. Freigh's have been pretty steadily natintained to Liver pool at 21. Iss. to 21.171.6' 1. tiil within the last few days, when the arrival of several large vessels Irons Australia gave a cheek. P.O that we cannot quote higher than 21. 12s. for vessels is mmenced loading, and 21. 15s. per ton for vessels nearly ready for sea to Liverpool and London. To China there is nothing doing, the rate is nominally Rs. 12 per candy. Eachange on England has ruled pretty steady, at 2e. per rupee, at sin months' sight, for best bills. Lately an attempt has been made to reduce the rates for Baring lUD them credits to 2s. led. at which some sales were effected, bit the banks refused to purchase any paper under 2a. I 5.16 d. which may be considered as the rate for the best local paper on Eugland at six months' sight. On China esehange is nominal at Rs. 242 to 243 per 100 doh., at 60 day's sight. Oa Calcutta, at 60 days' sight, Its. 99 10.16 per R. 100. --.--.. CALCUTTA, Orr. 12. The Bombay steamer arrived on the 16th instant, with London dat<s to the 8:It ultimo. The commercial intel ligence is most satisfactory. The holidays having commenced on the 6'h, two thy' after the date of our last price current, and business having enly been resumed this morning, we are unable to supply our readers with our usual commer cial report, including full statistics of our imports sad exports. The 12th instant being deemed a lucky day in the Hind,* Calendar, small purchases at pr.vious rues were made by most dealers for luck's bake, but no transac tions of any importance have transpired. As usuul after the Pooja, a few drys will elapse before business will re-commence with any energy. The prospects of our cotton goods msrket have improved. Rain has happily fallen abundantly in the north-western provinces, and all fears rtgarding the fate of the grain crops have been dispelled. This fortunate dispensation will give confidence to deaden, and a good business in imports, it is anticipated, will arise before the termination of the current month. In exports we have nothing to say, as the markets have been elssed during the vacation. Tonnage is, however, more abundant than it was, and the rate of freights lower; this fact, coupled with the encouraging advices of colonial produce received by the Bombay, will doubtless give an improved impulse to our import markets. We have no change to make in our last estimate of the earning indigo crop, which we still think will range between 1,U5,000 and 1,03,000 mds. Our advice' from the Daub are of an improved character, but those from Tirhoet report a storm of wind and rain having warred in that district, which had the effect a largely reducing the returns from the vats, and it is too late in the season for the uncut plant to recover its full colouring properties. Before the next mail leaves • e shall he in pusseuion of more precise returns than we have as yet been able to obtain, and we hope then to be able to state with a greater approach to accuracy the figure which the crop is likely to assume. The quality of this season's produce is generally superior to that of last year's, and the cakes are consequently exp,cted to weigh lighter. Excit &NOE with London has advanced to 211 to 2 at which rates transactions for this mail have transpired. THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 28, 1853. THE WAR IN BURMAH. Our correspondent writes on the 29th October : It is now reported tha - the King of Burtnah had been put to death, and his eldest son placed in durance—they being all fur war with us; and that the younger son, a man of peace had been placed on the throne. These reports do not seem to be worth much either way. The country continued to be over run with dacoits, and the people oppressed thereby to desperation. Of the 1.50 prisoners who escaped from the gaol at Kyoung, near Rangoon, some one-third had been retaken. Daring attempts at robbery had been made in Rangoon ; and executions of dacoits were of fre quent occurrence. Nearly the whale of Prome had been inundated by the river, and boats had to be used for several dais. The pay of the troops was much in arrear at Prome, and loud complaints were being made. Lieut. Miasey had quite recovered from his wounds. The Ilangnon Chronicle of Bth inst. says : The burden of the intelligence from the stations up the river brought by the Nerbuddah is still the dacoits. The village of Theko, between Myeeaday and Precise was attacked and plundered by these marauding vil lains. whereupon Sir John Cheap detached a come peer of her Majesty's 51st L 1., and two cc:m inute. of the 35th Madras N. 1., to its protectioa. They were conveyed up there by the Damoodah, which seems to have had some active work cut out for her during the past month, having made three trips to Myeeaday since the 14th of lot month. On our troops lending. the village was found deserted ; it was art fire to, the Kyoungs being alone spared for the shelter of the troops. While thew proceedings were going on at Make, the dacoita at Kanoung were not allowed to rest in peace. • largo gang of them had joined the standard cf a Butmala named Moung Shway Mhay, formerly the Myo-Theogyee of Kanoung, but who revolted from British rule and fled into the jungle. Captain Smith. the Deputy-Commissioner of Sarassah under untrue- Una from the Commissiober, offered a reward of 500 to any pump who would bring the renegade in Wire, and at the same time determined to attack him in his haunts. To :bd. end, a detachment of the Arracan Local Battalion, mad a 'mere party of Burmese armed by the newly appointed Myci•Thoogyre, were seat in the gunboats of the Enterprise op a creek where he was said to have taker up his quarters. The rinborts in proceeding u;i the creek were noticed by the divots who made preparations for a stout defence. The plait of operations no our side wu to hem the ilscoits in, to warriund them. and accordingly, while the steamer Enter" pisw auarded one quarter of the island, the gunboats the eatro.ce of the creek, the Arracan local battalion were de spat:hod to the western ride, and the 3lyo-Thaogyee with her one 4 mu. the cavern. The renegade Myu Thoogyew saw tt duposition, and (let 'trained to force his way through the Utamese, impressed wig. the idea that they would give way oelore a desperate rush his desperate followers , . ills caleilat.ons were wrong, the Burmese under the Myo.

The head of the Dacoit chief was then cot off aacl conveyed to Ifen‘adah to be deavered to Captain CHINA MARKETS.

Pt .VOlrs POCKET-ROOK FOR 1854. The frontispiece to this year's edition of the an nual pocket-book of fun is entitled" Topsy-turvy, or our Antipodes." It is a fancy sketch of the revo lution that gold has produced in the colonies. Gen tlemen with faces covered with a profusion of un trimmed hair in costumes picturesque enough, but not at all elegant, with pistols in their boots and bowie-knives at their belts, are making themselves comfortable in various ways while their wants are attended to by broken-down clergymen, masters of arts, and ladies dressed in ragged costume with no shoes to their feet. The illustration is, as usual, admirably cone, but the scene is too likely to be true to be very comical. The literary portion of the pocket-book contains the usual quantity of material for laughter. The present number will not shrink from comparison with any of its predecessors. From a number of model speeches for the use of persons not accustomed to public speaking we select the following : ON RECEIVING A PIECE OF PLATE. Gentlemen,—ln having filled the office of—[here put in the office, whether that of Chancellor of the Ercheywr, Churchwarden, or treasurer to a Cricket etah,] —I assure you I have had but one object—your interest. That object, I fearlessly assert, has sever ceased to accompany me. It has gone to bed with me; it has slept with me ; it has got up with me ; it has shaved with me. Your interest, gen tlemen, has been the polar star to my eye, the staff to my hand, and the roses to my feet. Do I say this to make any claim upon your gratitude? No, gentlemen; in giving utterance to these solemn and profound emotions—for they are solemn since they are not often evoked but upon serious occasions like tile present—they are pro found, fur they come from the very bottomest bottom of my heart—(gentlemen, it is sometimes the allowed privilege of deep feeling to violate grammar, a privilege that my im pulsive soul must lay claim to at this moment)—in giving utterance to this, and much more than this, much more easily conceived than sunken, I merely state that in fulfilling your service I have fulfilled my own personal pleasure! I have sought no other reward—l expected none—l wished for none. Nevertheless, gentlemen, when I look upon the splendid candelabra before me—a candelabra of fourteen branches,—l beg to assure you that I ohs I again and again in the deep midnight contemplate the fourteen wax candles that will be toatinually burning therein,—only as so many lights to higher exertion—as so many vivifying suns kindling and strengthening me in your service.] [lf the piece of plate aloud be a snuff-box, say—And, gentlemen, whenever I open this hoz, whenever my finger and thumb shall take from within a restorative pinch, and taken, when my finger and thumb shall fillip off the parti cles that may adhere, I shall moralise upon those particles, end think all rewards but dos-, but that best reward, your friendship—your support.] [II the token presented be a watch, say—And never, gentlemen, shall I hear it tick, but my heart will pulsate in unison with its sound ; never will it strike the time, but my fancy will, with backward flight, return to the present n'oment, the happiest, the proudest moment of my life. [Meeld the speaker he apnarried man, and should a silver teapot 6e also presented to his wife, he may say—lt is said, ladies and gentlemen, that a man must not praise himself. Yet how is it possible to avoid such eulogy when tolled upon to speak of his wife—who is of himself—the dearest and most precious part of his existence ? Gentle men, I thank you for Mrs. --. You have in scribed some of her virtues on that silver tea-pot: I fearlessly say some of them, gentlemen, for I do assure you—though do not misinterpret such assurance—it would take an exceedingly large silver tea board to boot, to bear even in the shortest short-hand a notice of the qualities that, like the flowers upon the satin gown in which she appears before you oa this happy rea rm, cover and adore her. Ladies and gentlemen, whilst thanking you for this tea-pot, permit me to say that you could not have chosen a mere appropriate present for oar domestic hearth. What the tripod was to the ancient prissier, the tea-pot (with a considerable improvement) is to the English housewife. If it does not inspire her with prophecy, it does much better ; it fills her with gentleness and goo f{ humour, and makes her cheerful in bestowing cups of cheerfulness upon ethers. Gentlemen, it is said by Arabian writers, that Solomon's genii were confined in kettles—then allow me to say, they must have been tea kettles ; for from them—ministered by woman—man drinks quietude, refreshing calmness, and domestic wisdom.] NEW RAILWAYS IN OXFORDSIIIRE.-OXIOI/D, Not•. 26.—The necessary parliamentary notices km bees given for the constructing of the following lines in this neighbourhood:—The Wycombe Railway Company pro poses to extend their branch to Oxford, uniting with the Great Western Railway at Kennington, shortening the dim lance about 12 milos over the present route, with a branch to Aylesbury ; the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Company in conjunction with the London and North- Western Company, propose to form a railway from Oxford to Harrow-on-the• Hill, on the main line of the latter com pany, with branches into St. Clement's, Oxford ; a com pany has also given notice for a line from the Banbury station of the Loudon and North-Western Company to the Chipping-Campden station of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway ; a branch line from Chipping Norton to a point on the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolver hampton Railway at Churchill; a branch from the Great Western Railway to Stratford-on-Avon; powers to the Great Western Railway to use the broad gnage, as laid down on the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Rail way, upon payment of certain rates and tolls. We may also mention that there is every probability that the Great West. rn Railway cr a new company, will seek fin pow era to make a direct line from Oxford to Cheltenham, on the broad gauge. ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH COMPANY OF IRELAND.- We are Wormed that this company has succeeded in laying down from Byllyeopdand Bay upwards of three miles of submarine iron wire, which is securely buoyed ; and the Albert, with H.M. steamer Asp, under the command of Lieutenant Allridde, R.N. both now lying at Donagbadee Pier, inti nil to connect t his line with the twenty.eight miles of iron wire on hoard the Albert, and run across to Port-o'Spital the first favourable opportunity. It is gratifying to learn that no gnat was the perfection of the coiling that the entire distaLee was actually paid out from the hold of the Albert without even the assistance of a single Chronick. . . ARTIFICIAL l'iioutertoN t Fisu —At the " huh manufactory," as it ‘4 called at Huninguln—the establish ment for producing fish on the artificial system—there are now 200,000 eggs of the Rhine salmon, and of the large trout of the Salsa lakes, duly fecundated ; and there are 100,000 of the same description of (gga, also fecundated, at the Collego de France in Paris. hear eggs are destined fur distribution amongst the departint nts in which money has been euted for the application of the artificial system.— On 'against.

THE BALKAN RANGE AS A 3ILLITARI DEFENCE. Yesterday evening, the second meeting for the present suasion of the Royal Geographical Society took place at the rooms of the Haitianßural Society, Regent street, and wu very numerously attended. The chair was taken by Lord COLCILISBTER, R.N. After the usual preliminary business, the SECRETARY (Dr. Bhaw) read a pap:r by General A. Jockmus, on a journey into the Balkan, with a description of the defiles through that celebrated intidaitain range and a comparison of the routes pursued by Darius, Alexander the Great, sn , • Marshal Diebitch, illustrated wills a variety of diagrams by Mr. Peterman. The journey was commenced from Con stantlnople on the 2S:h of Sept., 1547, and in its progress the course of Darius Hystaspes was traced in considerable detail. The Russians in 1825 and Darius 2,390 years be fore, it was obsers ed, passed the Danube at a point where the river beg:us to branch off, denominated Ismstacha. On arriving at Aidas, where Alexander was supposed to have entered the Balkan, the writer held friendly inter course with the chief of the district; and found Ahisti to be the chief place of importance in the vicinity, in a military point of view. lie then traversed the different routes of the ILlkaa seven times, front the coast of the Black Sea to Tirnova, on the west. The population in the mountain ridges appeared remarkable for their superiority over the Byzantine Greeks; the fact being explained by former warlike habits, and by the conversion of the most energetic among the men to MahomAanism, and their marriage to the finest women among the subject tribes, who preferred the lords of the soil to the s:mple Rayahs. Generally speaking, the missionary societies affected but little good by their efforts; thcie cl;ief converts being among the Jewish rabble, many of whom relapsed when they found that the now reliTion did not pay. As regarded the number of passes, it was remarked that Hammer,a Turk, had laid down only five, whereas the writer nsd found thirteen; and it was a curious fact that Diebitch passed the Hcensusby roads unknown to the most learned historian of the Turkish empire. On leaving a mountain pass Kaman was seen secluded in one of the nest inaccessible parts of the Balkan, into which were descents which a few courageous men might defend against a whole army. Since the last Russian war Kaman had become the natural centre in lien of Tirnova. course of the Rus sian army was traced from Varna to Adrianople, wher e Marshal Diebitch concluded the peace which has just been broken. Mr. HOOO cansidered the :paper which had been jun read v,ry important, both in a geographical and in a mili tary point of view ; correcting, u it did, a serious mistake with regard to the number of passes. He observed the other day that in a map published ►y Mr. Wyld only five passes were given, and the same error was to be found is the Austriargnap. He regretted that no mention bad been made of the mineral resources of the Balkan, in which formerly there were mines of gold and silver, and where at present there were mines of gold, iron, lead, copper, and salt. A vote of thanks was awarded to the author of the paper, and the meeting separated. THREE MONTHS' EXPERIENCE OF A BEARD. A hirsute gentleman, who is a commercial traveller, and an esteemed correspondent of the North Braish Daily Moil, favours that paper with the following: Three months ago I read an article in liausehold Wards headed" Why share ?" I was at the time suffering trona n severe attack of rheumatism in the jaws. This complaint, the writer asserted, would be almost entirely prevented by wearing the beard. "if so," said 1, '• I will s'.ave no more." This was the first time that the thought of wearing my beard had erus , id my mind, and I at once came to the conclusion that to eh ,ee was absurd, and therefore received forthwith to abandon the razor. The question, " What will people say ?" had to me no terrors; fur I could see at a glance a thousand arguments by which o b jectors to the hairy reform could be entirely demolished. So, without further thought, I walked out to business unshaved. The first day my roughness was noticed ; the second it was thought I had been at the coast; the third the barbers' rise of prices was spoken of; the fourth I boldly announced my resolution. I then found, to my surprise, that almost all thinking men approved of my determination, and only regretted that they had not courage to follow my example, which they said they certainly would do when beards be. came a little mere fashionable. Not a few shavers whose I I beards had two or three days' growth thought my beard surely uncomfortable, as they felt theirs quite long enough. To these gentlemen I replied, " Your beards are in the very worst stage; in other three days that feeling of unshaven discomfort will give place to a cosey furry sensation, quite unknown to any save the few who have abandoned the razor." This is really the ace. My beard felt uncomfort able for about four days, after which I felt an improvement every day ; and now, in the very pleasant feeling of natural warmth over my entire lace, I am reaping the rewarl of having in this matter returned to nature's laws. Since nay beard has been three days old I have never had one touch of rheumatism in my jaws—a disease to which I was be coming subject in cold weather. In a word, I feel the beard a great improvement, and now would as soon think of shaving my head as my face. I need hardly say, then, that I recommend the general adoption of the beard. The idea of men, especially in this cold weather, daily cutting off the natural respirator and muffler, and then, as many do, bandaging their mouths with cloth, seems to me so absurd, that I Lave no patience to argue the question. To all determined shavers I would say ' Shave on, and when in your folly you laugh at the man with the beard, endeavour if poasible to conceal the gold clasps with which the interior of your mouths are de corated, by your foolish fashion I f removing the natural protection of your teeth." I can say nothing of how the beard affects the lungs. I have to thank God for a first. rate pair, and therefore am not very sensitive as to what affects these organs, but as I move about in Glasgow and lidinburgls, and breathe all sorts of air, I feel quite assured that many of the strange compounds that so pointedly salute the nose, are none the worse of being riddled by the moustache before they pass into any man's lungs, especially those of the delicate. _ The chief opponents of the beard, I have found, are very ignorant women, who are in no way loth Is express dew entire disgust at what they are pleased to call the abomi nable filthy fashion. Women of cultivation speak in quite a different tune ; they du not quite approve, yet are ready to remember that all the worthies of antiquity from Adam to John Knox wore beards, and they do think a bearded man is more maaly in appearance ; but with a smile they ask," How will you ever mauve to kiss your sweetheart ?" If this question is answered by a smart practical illustration, almost any of them will admit that the beard is not so ob jectionable after all. Although as a whole my beard has been popular, I could fill a volume with the queer things that have been said to me about it. One friend, whose cautiousness is extreme, asked me how my beard suited when I had bills to discount. To this I answered, " I never in commercial matters go be yond my depth, so I can afford to look queer if I have a ' mind." One old lady hoped I did not wear my beard to show that I had a contempt for the ministers of religion. She had heard that the wearing of beards was indicative of this contempt. I convinced the worthy woman that I was a regular attender of an orthodox church, and loved and respected my warm-hearted pester. One old Quaker I met thought there was not a little vanity in wearing the excrescences on the face. To the old Quaker I answered, " Vanity or no vanity, I will stick to my beard as firmly as thee and thy fathers have stuck to the plain collar, and if I do so, I will no doubt command even thy respect." The Quaker shoo; his head and said, with a smile, "Thou hest a handsome face, and 1 would think it more so if thou wouldst remove the hair." I was about to reply, when a gentleman, quite a stranger to me, took up my defence. We 'wire seated at the commercial dinner table at the moment. " Friend," said the stranger, " thou art arcing, and our young friend is right. Hod never gave the beard to be cut off every morning; it was no doubt meant to be worn, and think our young friend deserves the thanks of us all for being amongst the first to introduce the very desirable fashion. 1 for oue," he added, "am resolved to follow his example." "Do so friend," sabi the quaker, " but 1 will shave yet a while." I learned that my defender on this occasion was a medical gentleman in the service of the Lon don Board of Health. I have pleasure in seeing as 1 now move about, that I am in no way singular in the heard re form. All public meetings. I observe, have now a COlibi• derable sprinkling of beards, and I have no doubt we, who are as yet quite in the minority, will soon be able to add to our present stock of arguments, one that will be more powerful than all others, and which is contained in the brief sentence, " beards are fashionable," INSTITUTE OF BRITISH ARCHITECTS. The second meeting for the season of the above gook 'y tookeplace yesterday evening at the riciety's roams, Grout -nar.street, and was very fully attended. The chair wro t a . en by Mr. T11031A3 11.

The gifts having been suitably acknowledge I, Mr. C. VuesToN proceeded to read his promist d paper on the subject of painted gigs, and its adaptability to archi tectural purposes. He contended that it was equally applica ble to Greek, Palladian or Gothic architecture, provided that the character of the building was considered in the decoration. Having described the various modes of constructing painted glue designs, by mosaic and enamelling, the lec turer proceeded to examine the mode of design adopted at different periods, entirely condemning the medieval, and giving but a very qualified approval to the Cinque Cento period. He examined successively the works of the twelfth, thirteenth, and fourteenth centuries—praising the first for the brilliancy of the tints employed, which qualified the formality of the design; and passing slightly over the two subrequent centuries, to come to the sixteenth, in which an immense advance was made, in the substitution of the rotund for the fiat mode of carrying out the design. Inter esting details were given of the mode in which the improved manipulation was effected, and the lecturer proceeded to allot the different styles. The painted glass of the twelfth century he thought best adapted to the early Normun architecture, while to the renaissance he would give the more perfect decoration of the sixteenth. He contended also that painted glass might be applied with success in the case of Greek edifices, pro. sided that rich tints were used sad the flat style of design adopted. Models might be found in the ancient les teilated pavements, and Flamm had proved how suc cessfully classical designs might be applied to the delineation of scriptural subjects. To palladium structures he would apply the more advanced or rotund style of the art, and Gothic buildings might be best illuminated by win dows coloured and designed in harmony with their own period. in conclusion, Me Winston wished to impress upon his audience that his object was to direct their atten tion to the art, and not to the defects of the periods to which he had alluded, being of opinion that all that was good might be extracted for the benefit of the nineteenth cen tury, provided that painting glass was treated as any other branch of the tine arts, and subjected to the ordinary rules of taste and extemporary criticism. The lecture was mast attentively - listened to, and loudly applauded at its termina tion. A short discussion on the subject matter concluded the businces of the seance. POLISH REVOLUTION. A meeting of sympathisers in the efforts of the people o; Poland to regain their nationality was held last evening at the Na.ional Hall, Holborn, to commemorate the revolution of 1830. The meeting was summoned for half-past i o'clocl:, but eonsidersble delay took place in opening the business. It soon appeared that this was occasioned by a daference in the chartist camp (the great ma j or i ty of the persons present being composed of that body), for the moment Mr. Julian Harney, who had been announced in the bill as the chair- man, appeared, he was assailed with groans, hisses, and other demonstrations of hostility by a large section of the meeting, and when the motion for his taking the chair was put, a scene of confusion and uproar ensued which beggars deseeiption—orics of " Who sold the people ?" "No Harney," " Turn out the spy," and other equally compli mentary recognitions of the intended chairman resounded on every side, and three were speedily followed by a rush of the malcontents, who it was said were of the O'Brien section of democrats, to the platform, of which, after a brief resistance, they partially obtained possession. A Mr. SAMUEL HEATH then proposed as an amendment that Mr. Lockhart take the chair. He and his friends, he said, had every sympathy with the unfortunate Poles, but the, would not permit Julian Harney, who had betrayed the cause of democracy is this country, to preside over any meeting to express the feelings of the English democrats towards those who had strugg:ed and suffered for the demo. erotic canes in other countries. ♦ Mr. TAILOR seconded the amendment, and denounced hir. Barney in equally strong terms. An attempt was then made to put the amendment to the vote, but this the supporters of the origi nal resolution resisted. From very high word, the hostile parties soon came to blows, and presently (the 0 0 Brienites having received some addition to their numbers) the platform became the scene of &regular battle, about 20 couples being engaged in fisticuffs at the same' moment, under the shadow of two blood-red flags, which, displayed probably to give a fitting tone to the meeting, waved their sanguinary draperies over the com batants. The foreigners, of whom there were several pre sent—Poles, Germans, Italians, and Frenchmen—at first looked on in astonishment, and when with great difficulty they were made to understand that what they witnessed was but a struggle between two sections of a party who pro- teased to hold precisely the same opinions, but had chosen' different leaders, their efforts to restore peace (each man speaking at the top of his voice in his own language), mingled with the oaths and curses of the belligertnts, formed a confusion of tongues which probably approached nearer to the original Babel than anything in modern times. This scene Laving continued for some minutes, some per. son introduced a policeman, who managed to separate the hostile forces, and the foreigners striking up tne " Mar. " at the same moment, a kind of truce was agreed to; and while the preliminaries were bei g arranged it was suggested that some person who was neither a Ifarneyite nor an O'Brienite, should preside. This was agreed to, and a M. Jourdon was installed into the poet of honour. A amber of addresses were then delivered, principally by Pules end Frenchman, and ri.clutious to the following effect were proposed and agreed to : 1. That the partition of Poland was an outrage of the black est die, both as regards that country and the whole family of nations. That tyranny ever justifies insurrection, .nd therefore the revolution of November, ism, though unfor tunate, reflected glory on the Poles and commanded the sympathy of all people. 2. That the revolution was caused partly by a blind depen d: nor upon foreifn cabinets, but principally by the selfish conduct of the Polish aristocracy, and declaring that Poland in her neat revolution must summon all her sous to arms in the name of the republic, and look for her regeneration through the triumph of democratic equality and social justice. 3. That the Turks having manifested a generous hel -1 pitality to the defenders of Hungarian and Polish nationality, having always repudiated the partitioning of Poland, and now being engaged in a defensive struggle for their own independence against Russia, are entitled to the sympathy and armed support of all European people, and this meeting believing that the Turco-Russian struggle is pregnant with hopeful opportunities for the enslaved nations, trusts that the oppressed of all lands will unite for their common deliverance and to overthrow their common oppressors.

The amount 'brought in to the Weavere' Commit tee yesterday, fell somewhat chart of 2,0001.; this being what is termed " the little week," or the week in which the operatives in some of the districts do not receive their wages, inasmuch as they are paid fornightly. The Cans fia-!!tile, however, have a considerable balance remaining is hand from last week's receipt., and consequently ti,eg are enabled to distribute four shillings per head as here tofore. As an indication of the present de- Jsressed nave of trade it may be mentioned that Mr. Goodair (the lergest manufacturer unconnected with the Masters' Association) has today given votive to cow mence running short time in the weaving department—all his hands having hitherto been fully employed.

Yesterday, the inquest on the deceased Charity Gleuister, who was so brutally murdered by Abel Burrows. was neld yesterday. The preceirlings excited the utni-At interest, and the room at the hotel was crowded all day. Much surprise and no inconsiderable amount of tnaigna tion have been excited amongst the residents in the neigh• bonehead by attempts which have been made to represent the accused as labouring under mental aberration conse quent upon religious fanaticism. It is stoutly denied that there is the slightest ground for such a statement, indeed it is confidently affirmed that he never evinced any degree of religious feeling, his whole career having been one of un swerving dissoluteness and profligacy. Since his capture he has taken a course which, under other circumstances. might lead to a belief in a state of mental unsoundness, but there seems to be nothing in his previous life which for a mzment warrants the supposition that he was in anything but full possession of his leases when he murdered Charity Glenister and threatened the lives of all other persons who came in his way. A number of witnesses deposed to the facts which were narrated in the Daily News of yesterday. Amongst them was the father of Burrows, a very old man, whose failing memory and desire not to criminate his son, rendered his evidence an almost unintelligible mass of confusion. The jury at once found a verdict of Wilful Murder against Burrows. It appears that since the prisoner's apprehension a letter has been sent to him by the woman with whom he has been Cohabiting while apart from his wife, which corroborates tae rumour that she was not aware until quite recently that he was a married man. From the tenor of the first part of the letter, it is evident that she deeply regrette I the decep- tion which bad been praetieed upon her. Contrary to the expectations of the coroner, the pr.smser was not brought before the jury. His presence, however, was quite unnecessary. Burrows is 37 years of age, and has a daughter grown up to womanhood. He is a native Of Leighton Buzzard. GARROTTE ROBBERY A7' MANCHESTER. About ton minutes after 12 o'clock on Saturday night, as Mr. James Holme, of Everton-road, Ardwick, Manchester. was returning along Ardis ick-green irons the house of a friend, he was garrotted and robbed, and other wise severely handled. lin passing the George and Dragon Inn, he observed five rough-leoking men, one of whom wore heavy clogs, standing close to the house, but ha-I no idea at the time that they all belonged to one party. When some of them, therefore, followed him up the road, he entertained no fear of being robbed, and thought that if any one attacked him, there would be plenty of people about to come to his rescue. The men followed him until he was close by a dead wall at the end of the green, and oppo site Union-street, where one ut them passed him, and, turning quickly round, dealt hint a Wow on the left eye, which almost stunned him. At the same time his neck was grasped from behind, and his mouth covered with a hand, so that he could neither utter a cry nor struggle to free himself. The other men then surrounded him and rifled his pockets, one taking a punka containing 18s., while another seized his watch, and broke it from the guard to which it was attactied. Mr. Holme was then tilted back wards on the pavement, and two kieks were admit istered at the side of his heed s ith the Leavy clogs, in such a manner as to fill one of his cars with cinder-dust from the roadway, and cover one side of his lace with cute and bruises. The men rain up Union-street, and Mr. Volme, as soon as he was able to recover himself sufficientry, rose from the ground and called out " police," but no one came to his assistance. He walked half a mile up Everton-road without meeting an officer of the police force, and it is need less to say, under these circumstances, that the robbers made good their escape. ROBBERY OF A COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER. Between six and seven o'clock on Thursday morning last, a commercial traveller from Liverpool, named Edward dueller, feeling rather unwell, and being, in fact, in a state of intoxication, entered the Wellington vaults, Rochdale-road, hlanehester, and had several glasses of liquor. He paid for beer for several labourers who called there, taking out in;,their presence a purse containing about 1401. in notes and gold. He offered to give one of the men ba., the amount of his day's wages, if he would stay to drink with him; and on the man refusing, and attempting to go away, Mr. Jodler pursued him, and brought him back to the public-house, where he kept him fast by the collar, and gave him 3s. Gd., promising that he should have Is. 6d. more if he would remain. Amongst the other men who were present was one named John Wheildon, who was also drunk, and was treated by Mr. Jodler. The latter gentleman subsequently went to sleep in the tap-room, and on awaking found that his purse and all is contained were gone. The police being made acquainted with the affair it was ascertained that Wheildon had been to a pub lic-house in River-street, shortly after the robbery, in company with another man, and pulled out a purse, which appeared to contain a great deal of gold, out of which he paid for some beer. The man who was with him remon strated with him for displaying the purse, threatening to knock his head against the wall if he opened it again, and telling him to pay for the ale out of halt a crown which he had in another pocket. Wheiidon's wife afterwards came to him, and was greatly disturbed at finding her husband in possession of so much money, but does not appear to have made any attempt to find the owner, and afterwards left Ti. 101. with a woman to whom she owed about 31., saying she would call some time for the remainder. Wheildon was called upon by a police officer, about two o'clock•in the afternaon, but denied that he knew anything about the money. His wife told the officer she would pluouce the money, which her husband had told her he had found, it' he would not take him into custody. Wheildon and kis wife were both taken before the magistrate on the following day, when the woman was discharged, but the male prisoner was remanded till yesterday. The prosecutor was then in attendance, and after his evidence the man was committed for trial. (From the Briatol Mercury.) The following letter was Bent by the Hon. F. H.

As regards the position of the question, it would seem that the late disclosures made before election committees ought to elevate its chance of success, but I am not sanguine.
