INDIA AND CHINA. -- THE OVERLAND MAIL. An extraordinary express from Marseilles arrived pi Saturday afternoon with the despatches anti. aary of the Overland Mail. The dates are, from 3i cu rta, October Bth, and Bombay, October 15th. quote the following from the private correspond 'pee of the Herald, the combination to which we bps latterly directed the attention of the public, wig prevented as from receiving the same intel- DP W ' Tbe din of arms again resounds on the north of may. A formidable rebellion in Cashmeer, headed by the late governor, who refuses to resign his autho -ay into the hands of the new sovereign, has com .-., r iled Goolaub Singh to go out with all his troops to mdeevour to subdue them: while a contingent of 1000 men has been furnished by the Lahore Durbar i s r the purpose of go-operation. Such, however, is d m plight of the domestic affairs of our allies, that b e fore the army of the mountain 'Maharajah could ia mb, 6,000 British soldiers were requested to garri on his capital—before the Sikh soldiers could quit /Awe, the force of Sir John Littler must be d e tained . Brigadier Wheeler accordingly marches into the Jumboo territory, with a strong force of about 6,000 men ; and there re mains till matters are quiet, or aid as circum stances ma y require. A considerable detaehment, ' a melly of artillery, is 'eld in hand to leave Lahore at a moment's notice for the Bens ; while fresh troops mo ve from Ferozepore across the Sutlej,others moving tm from the southward into the Jullundur Dooab. Mootlan matters look less satisfactory than could be wished for, and altogether the aspect of the political atmosphere thltiughout the Sikh dominions is un ring. One of those wild and murderous outbursts, which these regions seem remarkable, has occurred at Katmandoo. A favourite of the Queen, a man of high rank but low extraction, had been murdered. In revenge the Queen seems to have created an uproar amo ng the p eo ple, , during which upwards of 100 of the chiefs, consisting of most of the great officers of state, were cut off. By latest accounts, which reached to the 22nd September, matters were becom ing more tranquil again. Tranquillity prevails in other parts. (From the Bombay Times of Oct. 15.) Srussase.—As surely as the cold season succeeds the rains, so surely will the weather fitted for moving troops find warlike movements somewhere within or near our frontier. The last fortnight gins tidings of two insurrections amongst our allies—one in Cashmere, the other in Nepaul, with both of which we are more nearly or remotely concerned. Mr. Colvin, our resident at Kattaandoo, had quitted Nepaul on account of his health, when instantly an outbreak appeared, characterised by all the ferocity and bloodthirstiness which mark :he domestic collisions of our neighbours along our north-west borders. Olathe 14th Sept. General Gurgun Singh, a man of base extraction, who stood high in the favour of the Queen, was shot by an assassin. A general massacre of the parties supposed to be implicated in it was resolved upon by her Majesty, and the Prime Minister, with his brothers, nephews, and sous, with about a hund red ether chiefs of note, were destroyed. The Maharajah fled in consternation, and the sovereign authority fell into the lands of the ruthless princess. The families of those who have been sacrificed have been sentenced to banishment. As yet we are without fur ther partici:hrs. In Cashmere insurrection has made for midable head, the people not being . inclined to submit in quietness to the transference of their allegiance from the sovereign ruler of Lahore to that of Jamoo. The troops of this new ruler sent forth to chastise them having been beaten, Gbolab Singh resolved to take the field with his whole army ; bat, feeling no confidence in the stability of his affairs at home, requested us to occupy his capital and defend his rear against his subjects. Brigadier Wheeler, with a division of about six thousand men, will accordingly be peshed forward, and occupy Jamoo. In addition to the Sikh troops from the mountains, about 10,000 have been ordered to march into Cashmere from Lahore, involving the detention of our troops some months longer in the capital than was dreamed of, from causes not in contemplation at the time the treaty was agreed to. Various minor move ments springing from or accompanying this new state of things are now in progress. A strong detachment is held in readiness to move at a moment's warning from Lahor • on the Bess—another to cross the Sutlej from Ferosepore to wards Lahore. There seems no reason at present to appre hend that we shall be involved in hostilities by any of these, were it not that our armies so rarely stir without the com pass of our own dominions but fighting ensues. The Gover nor-General and Commander-in-Chief are probably by this time on a tour of inspection, but no tidings have reached us of their having left Simla. There is nothing whatever stir ring in Scinde, nor indeed throughout any part of India, worthy of notice. The Governor of Madras is still in the Neilgherries. The Bombay Governor leaves to-morrow for Ebandalla in the Ghauts. Sir David Bullock, our prospec tive chief justice, will not assume his appointment until after the departure of Sir 11. Roper, who will thus have com pleted the seven years' term of service, and he entitled to a pension of 1,0001. a-year. The Five per Cent. Loan of 1841 has been re-opened. THE PUNJAUB. (From the Bombay Times). Just as the period seemed at hand when our troops were to retire from Lahore, and the strength of the political arch we had erected to be tested by the removal of the props which had hitherto sustained it , unlooked-for events make their appearance, rendering further delay indispensable. A bloody insurrection in Cashmere shows no bold a front that the Sikh armies, both from Jamoo and Lahore, are sum moned forth to quell the rebels, and so weak are the two Governments, that British soldiers are required at both capi tals to see, that when the troops march forth to chastise mal contents in the provinces, malcontents more formidable still do not make their appearance in the cities to meet the array on its return. The attractions of the vale of Cashmere are more celebrated in song than in geography or statistics. It is described as an elevated tract to the westward of the Punjauh, enclosed by lofty mountains, the central plain being alluvial. It is watered by the river Jelum and its numerous tributaries. It is about 120 miles long and 70 broad, comprising an area of nearly 4,500 square miles. The population of Cashmere has, by terrible visitations of pesti lence and famine, been, within 20 years, reduced from 800,000 to 200,000. In 1752 it was conquered by Ahmed Schell. and attached to Western Affghanistan. It remained a portion if the Dooranee empire till 1819, when it was an nexed by itunjeet Singh to the Sikh dominions. In March, 1844, it was transferred from the rule of Lahore to that of the Jamoo Maharajah, for whom we desired to carve out a kingdom in return for his payment of the subsidy due to us by the supreme authorities. Seven passes penetrate from uithout the entrances through the mountains into the valley of Cashmere, of which one-half only are said to be travers able by horses. The Sikhs penetrated by the Baramoola Ws, through which the river Jelum finds it way. They were only able to take a single piece of ordnance along with them, a six-pounder gun, slung on poles, and borne by 32 men at at a time ; a tolerable illustration of the cha racter of the path. When the country was made over to Gholab Singh, one of his old confederates in treason, Sheik Emam-ood-Deen, long governor of the province, exercised almost unbounded influence over the minds ot the people. Averse to quit the place of his authority, and no longer suffered to exercise it as before, he resolved to set up for himself, unfurling the standard of re so% with a view of entering on independent sovereignty. A force under Lukput Rae, seat out against him, was defeated, end its commander slain. This state of matters could not, of course, he permitted to endure, and the Jamoo chief resolved to move against his refractory subjects at the head of all his army, so soon as he could make arrangements for securing bis rear from attack. Nor was even this considered suffi cient ; the Lahore Durbar was applied to, and 10,000 Sikhs directed to move thence into Cashmere, to operate in con cert with the other forces. Meanwhile we were entreated to assist by occupying Jamoo, and permitting our troops to stand fast at Lahore. Consequent on these arrangements, the following movements are understood to have been or. dered : —Brigadier Wheeler, with about 6.000 men, consist ing of a troop of Horse Artillery, a light Field Battery, one regiment of Regular and another of Irregular Cavalry, and the 15th, 24th, 30th, and 33rd Native Infantry, occupies Jas mine, and then advances on Jamoo. One day's post brings tidings that contingently on this Sir John Littler and hk troops will stand fast at the capital three months longer than was proposed—another that a fresh brigade is in orders to cross the Sntlej at Ferorepore and march on Lahore. This, according to the Delhi Gazette's Simlab letters, is to consist of Campbell's and Lane's troops of Hens Artillery, 6th Re gular and 12th Irregular Cavalry, her Majesty's 62d Foot, sad the 51st and 54th Native Infantry. A letter of the 29th ultimo from Lahore, received on Monday, intimates that her Majesty . 's 80th, and the 12th, 42 d, and 45th Native In .f.aa_ tel. Major Day's troop of Horse Artillery, and Major nariford's Light Field Battery, are under orders to much thence at a moment's warning for a post on the Bert Our correspondent furnishes us with no information 1 190 ed the fact of these movements, and we shall not there- Bee venture on speculations. This new element of activity 7"," altogether foreign to our contemplations : what its ultimate effects may be, it is not easy to anticipate. The Sikhs, alike of the mountain and the plain, must now see more clearly than even after Sobraon had opened their eyes, not only how completely they are at our mercy, but how !Innately they are dependent on us for their own protection. Funwhile the property of the rebel chief, meetly existing t, the Julltuadur Doah, was directed to be everywhere con fiscated, and very ample returns were thence expected to arise. The Moultan arrangements also seem to pro al less auspi c i ous ly than could be desired, and that was ... o ne time promised by them. The Ambassador appears distrustful bow to act, and seems to think that he will require to Proceed to the city of Dloultan itself. The Moolraj is sus tiecoit,d of disen g e nuosness and disjunction from the first, and likely thought that the disturbances of Cashmere and the absence of the army supplied plausible procrastination, in the prospect of the withdrawal of the British force. Alto gether, the state of things looks at present much more tangled and perplexin g than it has done almost since the Governor- General quitte d t h e Sik h d om i n i ons .

Of the state of affairs at Katmandoe, wmiequent on the fearful tragedy recorded in our issue of the 30th ultimo, we have been favoured with an outline which we give as re eeived. It extend, to September 22. At that date matters seemed to have assumed • more tranquil appearance, al though the British officers bad been warned not to leave their quarters, as the dependants (chiefly soldiers) of the murdered chieft were considered in a state bordering on mutiny, and which it was feared might vent its fury on the Sahib log. A number of new appointments had taken place, and the seven brothers of Jung Bahadoor, the chief mentioned previously , and some of whom had been wounded, have been appointed kajeehs, generals, and colonels. As it is, we believe, the custom in Nepaul for the higher office ' bearers to relieve the attendants of their predecessors by men of their own appointing, the new ministers have not been slow in followinf so laudable a custom, by which how ever they . have, especially Jung Bahadoor, created a number of enemies, who will, it is surmised, cause him in particular a good deal of uneasiness for some time to come ; in almost every other respect quiet had been restored. We hear nothing of the return of the Maharajah. CHINA. (From the i/WaldCiirresp =dent.) HONO-KONG, SEPT. 29.—The restless and dissolute mob of Canton have been even more than usually busy in keeping alive a malignant feeling towards foreigners, and fears have been entertained that they might lead to another outbreak; but hitherto the demonstration has been confined to most flagrant threats against the Fankwai, by placards plentifully posted in the neighbourhood of the factories—a specks of warfare to which the Chinese are addicted, and with which, fortunately, they generally rest satisfied. Lately, they seem seriously to have designed more serious doings, but could not succeed in enlisting the people of the suburbs in the cause. These manifestations of popular feeling have, however, made the British Consul at Canton, and the governor here, bestir themselves, and not only have Chinese soldiers been stationed in the quarters usually frequented by foreigners, but the Wolverine has been staticned as close to the facto ries as practicable. So long as that vessel arid the Nemesis steamer remain there, no apprehension need be entertained of any attack upon the foreigners. It is said that a great deal of sickness prevails in that por tion of the fleet which has returned from Borneo; oa board tke Agincourt especially, where a large portion of the crew is laid up wit't fever—a high price to pay for the trifling services performed during the expedition. The squadron is reported as having gone to sea, and a contemporary states the object be the restoration of the health of the seamen. But this must be a mistake, for the ships are anchored off Green Island, to and within sight of the harbour. There a court-martial has been held on a commissioned and a warrant officer; and there also the 'admiral may wi'h to adopt his awn mea sures to enforce discipline, cases of insubordination having, it is said, occurred, which, were the fleet within the bounds of the harbour, would come under the cognisance of the Court of Admiralty.

Raker held an inquest at the Crown and Leek, Deal-street, Mile end New-town, on Saturday even ing, on the body of Elizabeth Royffee, aged 2-i, the wife of a silk-weaver, whose death was reported to have been caused by the want of the common necessaries of lite. The inquest was held in consequence of the letter of the Rev. Mr. Harris, which was published in the Tinsel, and, of the leader in that journal and the Express referring to the I;ulject. The coroner read; to the, court the letter, which he had sent to the summoning officer, in which he explained these circumstances. The jury having viewed the body, which was in an emaciated condition, the following evidence was given : Samuel Royffee, the husband of the deceased, stated he was a broad-silk weaver. About eight months ago hie wife, a person of delicate constitution, was attacked with tape worm, and she had medical advice from the London Dispensary, and afterwards went to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, and was an out-patient for si A weeks. The doctor told her she could not be taken in, ad that she must apply to the parish for nourishing food. lie applied and obtained 31bs. of meat and half a quartern of wine the first week. Then the wine was stopped and bread allowed instead by the doctor's order. lie had that allowance for eight or nine weeks. He went before the Board of Guardians and represented to them the state of his wife's health. And the entered the workhouse on the 23rd of Sep tember. She was first taken into the receiving ward, No. 46, a place which the mistress did not frequent on account of the stench and she was nearly suffocated. lie was speaking of the Whitechapel workhouse in the Mile-end-road. She went up to No. 47 ward next day. She was allowed meat three days out of seven, and three days pea-soup, which was so bad she could not eat it. On the pea-soup days she ate dry bread only, and if she could not eat that she had to go without victuals altogether. The butter was so had that she could not eat it. She wished to leave on account of the bad state of the dietary, and said sh had been attacked with cold shivers, as if she was dying. She begged of him to take her away from such a dreadful place as soon as possible. He brought her home. She was in the workhouse from the 23rd to the 30th, and she WAS much worse when she came out than when she went in. lie put in the following paper :—" I certify that Elizabeth Royffee is under my care, and that she requires some mutton, and a little wine, E. J. B. Aldis, M.D., 46, Chester-square, London Dispensary, Oct. 22,1616." The board of guardians, however, refused to direct the wine and mutton to be given, because it was not ordered by the parish doctor. He applied again on the Friday and was re fused. His poor wife lingered until T hurs day, when she expired. His average earnings have been 7s. per week for some time, and out of that he brad to pay 2s. per week for rent, and he only had 4s. per week left to support himself and wife, and two children. He had made away with every thing on which he could raise money, and had gone with out meals to allow his wife a little extra nourishment. In answer to questions by jurors, the witness said his wife was in a decline, and that he did not apply to the board a second time after their refusal. He received a shilling per week for several weeks from a society of gentlemen connected with a chapel, and he had received six shillings from the Rev. Mr. Harris since his wife left the workhouse. He was quite convinced, if his wife had had proper nourishment, she would have got over her illness. The Coroner said the husband was under a legal cb: - .ga Con to maintain his wife. If his means had failed, it was his duty to have made application to the parish officers. After the examination of the medical officer of the parish, who proved that the woman was suffering under pulmonary consumption, and after some crimination and recrimination between the parish surgeon and the husband, The Coroner thought the inquiry had gone far enougn, and that no blame could be justly attached to any one. lie would recommend the jury to return simply a verdict of natural death. The jury accordingly returnei a verdict "That Elizabeth `.oyffee died from natural causes." eOrge JIB>. and they found that the was upon we THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 23, 1846. tor Court.

INTERESTING TO NATURALISTS.—In our naval de partment the arrival atlas Arlon is announced. Her com mander, Capt. Denham has brought home a number of live botanical specimens in perfect health, with various seeds et rare plants, some beautiful live Love-birds, and peissene4 specimens of the quadruped and insect tribes. He hes site numerous specimens of the dresses, arms, and canoes, and other objects of a rare sad interesting nature. A visitor tothe vessel, who communicates this information, observed on the I hearth-rug, in front of the fire-place in the captain's cabin, a beautiful African gazelle, one of the smallest species of the deer tribe, evidently in the enjoyment of the best health. It is full grown, and only between 12 and 13 inches high, al though three years of age ; it is of delicate symmetry, the thickness of its fore legs below the knees, being under half an inch in diameter, with the hairs of its skin scarcely longer than the soft surface of a piece of velvet. Its head is pro portionably small, and tapering to a point almost as pointed as the bills of the feathered tribes. ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS.—The examiners of the Royal College of Surgeons assembled at the institu tion on Friday evening last, when the following gentlemen having passed the required examination, were admitted members, with license to practise :—John D. Ward, Ches terfield; William H. Boutflower, Manchester; Edward Paley, Boroughbridge; John Jones, Dolgelly, Merioneth shire ; William Hull, Manchester. THE WIDOW OF SEYM ()UR, THE ARTIST.—Mr. Seymour illustrated the first number of the Pickwick Pepers, originating the portraits of Pickwick and the members of the club. His melancholy and frenzied suicide was soon after committed. His widow and two children were unprovided fur. Nearly ten years have since elapsed, during which Mrs. Seymour has struggled on amidst much privation and endu rance. In this interval her children have been bred up with a view to their providing for themselves and her in time to come. Such maintenance, there is no reason to doubt, will won he assured ; but to complete the education of the chit. dren, which is to enable them to support their mother and themselves, the sum of 501. is required, which Mrs. Sey mour's friends, out of respect to her many estimable qualities, to say nothing of her husband's claims and celebrity, are endeavouring to raise for her.—Douglas Jerrold's Weekly Newspaper. SUSPENSION BRIDGE OVER THE THAMES.—Several surveyors and engineers have been employed during the last week, in surveying and taking the soundings of the river and levels, &c., for a proposed suspension bridge over the Thames, from the end of Essex-street, Strand, to the oppo site side of the river. ACCIDENT.—NEWSPAPER EXPRESS.—On Saturday morning the express chaise which conveys the morning papers to the Great Western Terminus, was travelling with the usual rapidity to catch the train, when coming to a nar row part of the road which had been broken up, near the station, the vehicle struck violently against a brick cart, which the darkness prevented the dnver from seeing. It was completely overturned, and the driver was severely contused, besides having his front teeth broken. A companion had his collar-bone dislocated. The chaise was heavily laden, the Dolly News being a double number. Above 1 , 000 papers were delayed in delivery to the customers of Mr. Weeley, of the Strand, whose express it was to which the the accident happened. COLLISION ON THE RlVER.—Yeeterelay afternoon, es the Waterman steamer 11, on its way to Greenwich, had reached the Dreadnought, it attempted to pass between two Urge brigs, when one of them struck the steamer midships, and knocked down her funnel. Most of the passengers were in the cabin, and the steamer having partially turned on one side, so much so that the cabin was for a few minutes thrown into darkness, the passengers, who imagined that she was sinking, rushed in a body towards the deck, but in their hurry to get out, choked the cabin stairs, adding to I their terror. Those on deck were thrown down by the col- Alien, and the funnel, having Wien on the deck, covered them with soot and smoke. It fortunately happened, how ever, that the brig, by another motion, cleared the steamer, and the latter escaped without any further injury than that which the funnel and paddle-boxes sustained by the con cession. ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER.—At six o'clock on Fri day morning, a Greenwich waterman, named Charles Webb, about forty-eight years of age, having to pilot a vessel up front Gravesend, made his skiff fast to a schooner going ra pidly down the river. Webb was supposed to have fallen asleep, whilst his son, a lad about seventeen years old, kept a look-out. Off Purfleet a government lighter struck the skiff; and cut it completely in two. Webb sunk to rise no more, but a boat having been lowered from the schooner, the lad was picked up in a state of utter insensibility. Webb has left a wife and seven children utterly unprovided for. INQUESTS, SATURDAY.—FATAL ACCIDENT.—By Mr. Bedford, at the Crown and Two Chairmen, Dean-street, Soho square, touching the death of Mrs. Sarah Hand, aged 69, residing at Walker's Hotel, Dean-street. Previous to the inquiry being gone into, the coroner informed the jury that his attention was first drawn to the case by receiving an anonymous communication, stating that the deceased female had fallen down stain at the above hotel, on Tuesday even ing last, and, in consequence of the injuries she thereby sus tamed, she died on the following morning. The death had, by some means, been registered, and the body was to have been buried that day, Mr. Wade, a surgeon, certifying that deceased had died of bronchitis. The coroner stated that under the above circumstances, he felt no hesitation in issu ing his warrant for an inquiry. From the evid'nce it ap peared that for some time past the deceased had been in au ailing and weak state, suffering from disease of the lungs, for which she bad been attended by Dr. Wade. On Tues day evening, deceased was descending from her bed-room, when her excessive weakness caused her to fall down a flight of stairs, inflicting a wound on her head seven inches in length. Mr. Wade, surgeon, was sent for, who dressed the wound and saw her properly attended to. On the following morning she complained of violent pains in her head, and, Mr. Wade saw her again, but she expired in two hours after wards.—Mr. H. Jones, 23, Soho-equare, surgeon, stated that from the post mortem examination he had made of the deceased's body, he could not find sufficient organic disease to account for her death. He attributed death to a general decay, accelerated, in his opinion, by the fall she had received shortly before her death. Mr. Wade, entered into an expla nation as to his certifying that the dec eased: died of bronchites which was still his opinion ; at the same time he had no doubt the fall hastened her death.—Verdict, " Died from decay, accelerated by an accidental fall."--DEATIi Cift a i'lliE.—On Friday, by Mr. Bedford, the coroner for Westminster, at the George IV., Bedfordbury, on the body of Honoria Ahern, aged six years. Johanna Ahern stated that she resided at 2, Brewer's-court, Bedfordbury. On Wednesday fortnight she was in her own room when she heard the I stamping of feet throughout the house, and a cry of " Fire ! the house is on fire !" She had then a child four months old at her breast, and when she had got down the first flight of stairs to make her escape, she saw the deceased, her child, come from one of the rooms below in a sheet of fire. It was taken by some friends to the Charing-cross Hospital, where she saw it every day. On the Sunday following, she saw maggots crawling on the fl oor of the ward, but she made no complaint, except telling the nurse of it; she did not complain to the medical officers, though she thought the child had not been properly attended to. On last Sunday she went to see her child, and then saw four maggots come out of a wound in the child's neck. These she destroyed, and then insisted on having the child away. When she had it at home she gave it wine and other things, -Chanee Nov. 19.—The Vice Senate at the Congregation on Nov. 25, to bat she died the same ilay. — Mr. Steggell, the hOlahe•gUrgeOn CAXBRIDOIL, ce llor gives netice that a of the hospital, deposed that he saw the child immediately on Pace the offered_ to. her admission.

A Hesvr GALE was experienced at Liverpool otarldsv- It blew from the south-west, and did mock damage. Iu creasing in violence all the forenoon, it became from twelve to two a templet. hurricane. The tide was untieu re =h, probably from the swell outside, and the river p a most unusual appearance. The ferry steamers, Esterith. standing the fury of the waves, did their best to keep wp the usual communication with Cheshire ; but at ono 'peeled the passage occupied nearl' an hour and a half. The is a list of river casualties :—The iikerryvore tugboat sue off George's Pier; crew saved. A quarantine tense drew her anchors, and went ashore at Bootle Bay ; and lie Wake field, brig, just arrived from St. John's, and a schooner, also parted anchors, and went ashore in Bootle Bay ; no lives lam. A flat sunk on West Hoyle; crew was saved by the life-boats. The Princess, Dublin mail steamer, ran into the tug-boat Mona, and very much damaged her. It was reported that one of the Dublin mail-bats had ar rived in a state of wreck, with her funnel blown out of her, but this arose from the circumstance that the Princess, which was undergoinq repairs, was towed into the river for the purpose of going Into the graving dock. She was very much blown about during the transit, and having no funnel, the above-mentioned rumour naturally arose. Several small steamers and flats parted their anchors, but without doing any damage. The only life goat was that of a poor Irish pawcenger, in a frieze coat, name unknown, who was blown into one of the docks and drowned. The body was recovered very speedily and taken to the receiving -house, but all at tempts to restore animation were fruitless. On land, a few chimney-pots and tiles were blown off; and it was found necessary in Church-street to barricade the parapet opposite to Mr. Rawle's shop, in consequence of a continuous shower of slates from the roof. The shop-window of Mr. Rogerson, silk mercer, Church-street, was also considerably damaged by the violence of the gals. At Birkenhead, a newly-built house, at the corner of Ches ter-street and Ivy-street, the property of Mr. Walters, was blown down, but providentially no person was near at the time. Accounts from Wales state that a sloop, laden with wheat, was driven ashore at Penwden, and she is likely to become a wreck. The Harlequin, from Cephalonia, which was off the Bell Buoy, lost her mainmast in the height of the gale. Two men, who were aloft on the yard at the time, were washed overboard and drowned. The vessel was sub sequently brought to anchor off the North West light-ship, and abandoned by the crew. The President steam tug went off to her assistance. The Green Isle steamer had to put into Holyhead, and several vessels were put back. JAMES SEDDON (one of the boys who was tried at the last Liverpool anises for the murder of George Rae, the " black ing boy") was committed for trial on Friday for stealing poultry. THE CoustrY POLICE bare apprehended three men, iden tified aa having been concerned in the outrage at Preston. CEIE.'4IIIRF. : ANOTHER Exer.ostort.7 l lsWitursday last, a serious accident occurred at the Victoria Pita, Dukinfield. It appears that on the preceding night a number of the workmen were employed in driving out the foul air from one of the "jig brows," by means of the ventilator fixed at the bottom, when the air took • direct course along the level of the pit, sad there being a naked candle lighted some distance off, in its course, the foul air came in contact with it, and an explosion was the conse quence. Several men were at work near the place at the time, four of whom were most dreadfully scorched; they ' were, however, all taken out alive. The names of the un fortunate labourers arc—J. Hibbert, aged 20; S. Gar side, 40 ; J. Kenyon, 30 ; and J. Harris, 27. The two latter were not expected to live many hours.—Another accident occurred in the same pit, on Thursday morn ing, to a boy about sixteen years of age, named Thomas Jones. 'his lad was • driver in the pit, und, while standing near one of the " jig brows," he took up a pick and began to strike near the root of the pit; he was cautioned not to do so by one of the colliers ; he, however, persisted, when a large stone fell and killed him on the spot. The father of the deceased was killed in the same pit some time ago. WARWICKSHIRE.

DEVONSHIRE. THE GALE AND THE SOUTH DEVON LINE, The Western TiIIICS of Saturday says : " The weather since mid night has been exceedingly boisterous, and this morning blew a furious gale from the south and south-east. Every storm at once calls people's attention to the South Devon Railway, and we regret to hear that the line is again in peril from the gale. The timber truck of Mr. Hcnnett, the contractor, came safely up as far as the boat-house at Powderham-park this morning ; there a vessel had broken from her moorings in the river, and been driven with great force against the railway, causing considerable damage to the wail, and leaving the vessel in such a position that her bowsprit was directly acros, the line; the breaks were put on by the driver, but it NM impossible to stop the train, which came with such force against the bowsprit, as to cut it in two ; with this exception the train arrived safe at the station. The first up tram was started from Teignmouth at the usual hour, and passed safely over the scene of the last disaster near the llolcombe tunnel and arrived at Dawlish and proceeded up the line. On arriving the other side of Langston-cliff, the line was found to be covered by the sea, and much washed from the fury of the waves beat ing over it. It was therefore deemed advisable not to run the risk of paving until the tide had receded sufficiently to ascertain the nature of the damage done. The train was therefore backed to Teignmouth, and as it again passed over the damaged part at Holcombe, it was apprehended that from the violence of the gale, and the height of the tide, it would be perilous to again attempt to pass it. The line is therefore, for the present, altogether closed, until the damage done can be clearly ascertain, d, and the traffic between the station and Teignmouth is carried on by coaches and omnibuses. This is the second interrup tion which this line has sustained since its opening in May, both interruptions having occurred a t spring tides. It must, however, be borne in mind that the damage done by the last gale has not been efficiently repaired. General Pa.sley, the Government Inspector, arrived in this city this morning, and at once proceeded to the scene of the disaster. We are not aware what particular magic there is in the General's name, but there certainly is not much con fidence in his inspections. Some people fancy he overlooks the lines like a witch. The North British, according to the Newcastle Journal, met with a very ugly fate immediately after his late inspection. It is not likely the working of the line will be resumed for some days. In the mean time, every vehicle is put in requisition, and the company are convey ing passengers between Teignmouth and Exeter at railway fares. an expensive game for them, and a very inconvenient one for the public. No less than five vehicles arrived at the Red Cow station, some time alter one to-day, about Svc minutes after the up-train had started, although the superin tendent, Mr. Ashbee, had delayed the train a quarter of an hour. The water in Starcross High-street, alongside the Courtenay Arms, has been above the knees of the worthy host's horse, and though he does not ride the high animal—the depth indicated by this measurement has been sufficient to wash back of t in he th ra e l i i l em nebe b t ank wet tn n the viaduct. At Teignmouth the g ale has been blowing l a ea wa vrn e t n h t e sta n ti t ot tee hou p se la rna with terrific violence this morning, and the sea on the bar has been tremendous. A fishing boat, supposed to be from Topcham, has been swamped in attempting to cross the bar, and the two men in her drowned. UNIVERSITY AND CLERICAL NEWS.

The Marquis of Lansdowne (Lord President) left town after the council for his seat, Bowood-perk, Wilts. A deputation from Liverpool, ou the subject of a reduction of the duty en tea, had an interview witn Lord J. Russell on Saturday, at his official residence in Downing street. Despatches were received on Saturday at the Colonial-office from the Governors of the West India Colonies. It is with regret we give, from an accredited source, the rumour that Count St. Aulaire is about to cease to represent his sovereign at this court. In the altered rela tions between the countries, it must, no doubt, be painful for a nobleman, who so cordially supported the entente cordiale, to continue to fill the mate office now that the entente no longer exist.. The count's own desire, therefore, must be the chief cause of his ratal. If either court have grounds for ' offence in recent events, it surely is not that of the Tuile ries. His Excellency the Count St. Aulaire is now in Paris, and may be expected to arrive shortly at the French Embassy from that capital, to have an audience of the Queen, to take leave of her Majesty. Ile will take his departure in January. The Count de Jarnac will remain as Marg.: d'affaires, and will on that account retain the possession of Hertford-house. It is generally reported that some months will elapse ere the Count de St. Aulaire's successor is appointed, and en atten dant the Count de Jarnac will discharge the diplomatic functions. The Count Louis de Nmilles, the second secre tary to the embassy, is also about to leave this country for good. We have been informed the count departs for France early in January. The Countess de St. Auhare will nut accompany the noble count to this country. The Count de St. Aulaire has been ambassador here since M. Ouixot left this country to take office, on the dismissal of M. Thiers; previous to that the Count Sebastiani was the ambassador extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary.

Here the Captain was cut down, having previeusly wound the colours of his regiment round his body to preserve them. By a miracle he was preserved; but hoeing been taken prisoner, great nine months in captivity. lie was liberated by the victorious army under Pollock. By article 110 of the Articles of War, "Any officer or soldier who shall be taken prisoner . by the army ahrth forfeit all claim to pay and allowances during the period of his remaining a prisoner and until he eh= again re turn to the service; when, if he can establish, before a court martial, that he was unavoidably taken prisoner in the course of rervioe, and resisted as long as be wan able, and that he bath not served with or assisted the enemy, and that he hate returned es noon an porsible to the service, be =all be entitled to Waive either the whole or such portion of his arrears of pay and allowance as the government of the presidency to which he may belong shall determine, after the opinion of finding of such court martial shall have been cons firmed by the COnitrialtder-in-Chief." Captain Sauter underwent the formality - of a court martial, and was of course honourably acquitted. Ile applied, under the article we bane quoted, far the allOiranOes to which he wondered blinaclf entitled: his application has been re fused. This has been looked upon throughout India, where Capt.
