It wue, in fact, a great county meeting, as has tot tlien place in Norfolk within the m ., j yy 0: :sing man. Norwich and the other r amunititt in the neighbourhood sent their contri bnuot by !Ix:ill trains to the assemblage ; but it foul be ee at a glance that a very large proportion e wee forming it cins4ted of men connected with ,altirstion of the soil. Tenant farmers were to be seta on the platform, and farmers and farm .0 body of the crowd, side by side with th,• :manner. who were present from the remotest coy se: of tile county. E fen the rotten borough of Thetford bad eqfetentstires there, fifty men attending from that place with the banner of the Thetford Re kr.a Asexiiiiin tiring at their head. From four to tiou.and people were present on the occasion, a lnrce Lumber, when it is considered that fully two- L.:Nit of tl,em paid a shilling each for admission, std :l.t rim ,inder smaller sums. Two large marquees, toll,- of containing 1500 people, were erected in a ' adjotting the town, and t h ree brick fi replaces • ii.rse large boilers built upon the spot to supply company with tea. As soon as the first party ixen *ethed in this respect, they rose and r... a abut the held, until another party which them were supplied. The whole scene wit ,;:.y and imposing. The rut crowd, cm,:zst whom were many ladies, and all dressed %Air holiday attire, met the deputation at the Wymordium Station, and accompanied it in prows .:h antic and banners, to the place of meeting, Tka:c under a triumphal arch, thrown across the t:.:.. •:t the town. As the procession moved along ...a nearly the whole way (about halt a mile) fr •• r.ion to the field in which the tents were U. mit - . on these circumstances simply as tending to ,• !I.: feeling by which the meeting was ant was not a gathering of men drawn tor t. • .r.isity, or the desire to pass away an hour ryewhich might be hanging heavily on • '-, but • spontaneous assemblage of the re f. 7a a the county, some of them of old standing, ::era but the concerts of yesterday, but all ire tr.th the same spirit of determination, and all thoving that they had a common object to promote, and that they were earnest in their endeavours to ht.itt it. - The tea-party over, the meeting was constituted for business. It was originally intended that all the proceedings should be under corer; ba• the concourse having bees much greater than wu expected, that Intestsoa we. abandoned. From the end o. the great marquee at which the platform was erected, the :round rose gently far some distance back, and it was there, on the green sward, that the meeting was l.rmed in the open air. At six o'clock the She r.:‘. of Norwich took the chair; and after express his own sympathy with the objects of the meet -1. intro:nerd Sir Jo .ucit WALIIBL6T, M.P., Prest •c: of the \atioaai Reform Assoctatloo, and ono of • - members of the deputation. He was followed the other members of the deputation, and 4c.tirmea well known in the locality, 'monad • .om .sere Sir TIIMIAS lit:evort and Mr. Ifltitv. About half-put eight the proceedings ter m c.: 1, and the ineetins quietly dispersed, the N.rw.th d. putation returning by their special than, me Yarmouth and Thettard and other depots.- procetding homewards oleo by railway. Whilst ;vietedings !sated not a dissenting voice was Air' from the crowd, and when they terminated the e...titudt dispersed as peaceably u if returning from tt.2r r,. `ooh being the character and conduct of the einem 'Lige let us vett what was the tons which per vaded it. We first solicit the attention of the protec t..twe to this. The speakers dealt with free trade ae the irreversible decision of the country, and with Protection as an irrecoverable system. How . was in., rece.ved by the va s t araembly of mixed . interests to which it was addressed ? Not with dissatisfaction, to tree with sullen acquiescence, bet with universal auks of approbation. Bat it would be erroneous to infer that t h e f armers present were satis fi ed with e i ep:y Grits told that protection was an exploded Linacy, and free trade a permanent reality. There are conceasions to be made to them, on which they nai.od, and the prospect of which, through the axerey of a reformed parliament, they hailed with icisfaetioo. Toe tanners are a more quick-witted race in the county of Norfolk than they are in that of Wile', and th ey we that the first step toward, a reduction of the burdens pressing ar° them is a reduction of the expenditure. When they were added that those who pretended to represent their interests in parliament began the work of economy at the stung end, by proposing the repeal of •arife and productive taxes, while they resisted a eerrviveditg eurtai‘ment of the expenditure, they received it as if it LVI not been told them for the bat time. They Ire thoroughly alive to the fact t hat tam can be no real relief from the borders of taxation 'aril our annual expenditure is lariftly reuced, and are now convinced that it is hopeless b expect the latter from the House of Com mons as tow constituted. They feel that whilst the Ist-payers are the gr.at interest out of doors, the tax French., are the paramount interest in the house; and that until this state of thisga is reversed, and l'kt:lainent beton P i a f a i r an d faithful re fl ex of the i restarrests "'about, the country wiU, In nerd to l..ancial reform., e ultimo* to be, as it has hitherto !Atli, played with. If expressions are to be taken es ir.dic.tir.g convictions, this certainly was the 'mini- Plonk conviction of the multitude assembled on Wed- Leaday, at Wymoodham. It was no wonder, than k-re" Ka' their moat hearty and vociferous cheers were elicited by the allusions made by the speakers to par liamentary reform as the cotenancy precursor of all ether refwmui. Oer nitre financial reformers will also do well to take note of this. Either there is not sufficient in szeple financiul reform, even if attainable from par li .IntLt an now constituted, to meet the views ev.d s►tisfy the wants of the masses, or the Cw.iitetiul in fast permeating all ulsamao that a thorough reform of the House of Commons is the accuracy condition precedent to an honest reform in the finances of the country, were that the great and otly desideratum. The meeting at Wymondham were quite contested that, in the name of the Itefonn Association, the word finanoial should merge in the word parliamentary ; and an opinion of tide kind, delibseately and frequently expressed by each an eseaWage, is not witaoat its sigaitimase. If the Bean dal reforms,* weald net be fairly stranded, they will do well correctly to interpret the opinions of the country, and not to treat as of secondary interest that to which the masses are now attaching the para mount importince. It would be well also for the government to take counsel of passing events. Th e Norfolk meeting will not be an isolated one. Muse other meetings of a similar kind are contemplated to be held at different poists of the country. The Cesare! Association will also be buy is other quarters. The current is now fairly set in in one definite di rection, and is gathering a strength and volume, which it will be impossible to resist. The Cabinet has already had more than a hint of what it had better busy itself with during the recess. By no chicanery, by no adroit shifting of the cards, by no paltry and partial coooessions, can the attention of the maws be now weaned from the great object on which they are fast fixing their hearts and resting their hopes—each a reform of parliament u will tho roughly popalarise the popular branch of the legisla ture. And, in effecting this, they will not be satisfied with • mere extension of the suffrage, for they are daily becoming more and more alive to the fact that the corner-atone of the reformed par- I l i liament at which they aim moat be • more equitable apportionment of the representation. Schedule A .must be largely extended, or the ' Scotch borough system, or something akin to it, must b e imported into England, for a plan of reform unac companied by come such measure will be incomplete and illusory. In no other way can justice be done to 1 the greet industrial interest out of doors. In no other way, indeed, can justice be done to those qualified to vote, who cannot now vote, inasmuch as they are in chided within the limits of no constituency. If the law establishes • qualification, the law should take oars that every man who possesses himself of the qualification should have the benefit of it. It is not correct to state generally that the ten pounders of the country are qualified electors. It is only true to state that such of them as live within certain arbitrary circles are qualified to vote. They can only have justice done them by ranking them with the county voters, or so extending the borough cinstitueLoy u to include them within its pale. For many very cogent reasons, to which it is not now necessary to advert, the latter is the proper course to adopt. We accept the Norfolk meetiag as inculcating a lesson from which no party in the state should turn aside. It initiates a movement which will soon be general amongst the masses, and should teach the government that the Reform Bill is no longer a platform on which it can 'courtly and complacently rest, bat • point of departure in the direction of other and more thorough reforms. A STATE paper wu presented a day or two ago, the contents of which will be read with interest. It is the first report of a Commission appointed last autumn, to inquire into the cues which were investigated and reported upon by the Charity Com missions, but not certified to the AT TORREY-GENERAL." We believe the way in which this Commission arose was this:—The attention of the HOME SECRETARY had been directed to certain cues in whica there is a very gross abuse of charities. It was not in his power to mike any orders in these tires, nor did the law officers of the Crown appear inclined to enter into a subject which, if touched at all, ought, they thought, to be gone into vigorously. Nevertheless, the HOME SECRETARY, considering that inquiry could do no harm, whilst it possibly might produce some useful consequences, de termined on issuing a commission, with a limited authority, to investigate cases reported upon by the old Charity Commissioners, but not certified to the ATTORNEY-GENERAL. This Commission, which is entirely unpaid, consists of the Earl of CHICIIESTER, Earl DUCIE, Lords HARRY VANE and WIIARNCLIFFE, Mr. FREDERICK PEEL and Mr. T. 11. S. SOTHERON, Mr. BLUNT, the barrister, Mr. JAMEB HILL, and Mr. HENRY KINGSCOTE. These Commissioners have con ducted their proceedings without display or ostenta tion, and they conclude their duties by particularising certain charities which are peculiarly abused, and bj " offering some suggestions as to the whole matter." Upon the latter point the Commissioners very em phatically state that "the evils and abuses poiluted out by former Commi.sions and committees of parlia ment are still in existence to a very wide extent, and that no sufficient remedy has been provided for their correction." "There are (they say) many charities of which the income has ►een incurably last from the want of some proper authority to watch over and gaud the trust. Many other, have been abused and diverted from their peeper ohjec, becau e persons locally acquainted with the circumstances have declined to incur the pecuniary re sponsibility c r odium of instituting legal proceedings. In others, again, the trustees are unable to carry io:o full effect the intentions of the founders, by reason of some legal diffi culty, Of the inadequacy of the fund' for sustaining the ex• pence of an application to the Court of Chancery. In others, an ancient and traditional mode of managing the trust has acquired so strong a hold on the minds of all parties con cerned that it cannot be expected of trustees to undertake, on their private judgment, any attempt to break the establxhad usage. There is, moreover, a considerable numb. rof chari• ties wherein the present mal-administration is wholly idol. butable to ignorance and want of information on the part of the trustees, who under competent advice and direction, would be quite willing to cirrect what is irregular and defective.,• The Commissioners state that the powers which have been entrusted to them would be inade gnats to the task of a general and searching in vestigation into these cases, and that it is doubt ful whether they ever could themselves become a competent authority for exercising a permanent and vigi'aut control. Although they decline, however, to take a greater amount of respon sibility upon themselves, they are far from thinking that the responsibility ought not to be created. They think that the large revenues of charities, amounting to a million and a quarter per annum, and intended by the founders to secure important benefits to the community, demand from the state some better security than at present exists for their due and beneficial administration. They advise, therefore, that a public and permanent authority should be created, charged with the duty of supervising the administration of cha ritable trusts, and empowered to institute and direct legal proceedings against them. They recommend that trustees should be compelled to make out for the inspection of this board, annual accounts of receipt' and ex penditure, to be audited before some local atithoril, and registered in a local office where they should be accessible tir inspection. They further suggest, that the costa connected with this administration of chari ties should be paid by a tax of one penny in the pound upon those charities whose income amounts to 101. a year and upwards ; and they estimate that this penny in the pound would produce an annual income of nearly 6,0001., which would be ample for every expease. the Commissioners express their belief that the creation of this authority would be the means of saving a large amount of charity property, by putting a stop to many actual abuses, either of neglect or misapplication, and they also think it would be useful by advising a better administration to trustees who are willing to be advised, and in some instances by preventing expensive litigation. The cams which the Commisioners report se requir ing immediate interference are the following : 1. The statehouse at Ewelms, Oxfordshire. 2. The Hospital of Ike Blessed Trinity, Gaildford. 3. The parish lauds at Laaivett, Cornwall. 4. The Hospital of Bt. John, at Windham, Bare:. 6. Bostt's Charity at Drypool, Yorkshire. 6. Watts's Charity at Rochester. 7. Arekbishop Holgate's Free School, York. 8. Baker's Charity at Ram 9. The poors' lands at Padatow, Cornwall. Wi will endeavour to give an outline of these cues seriatim : I. The almshouse at Ewelme was founded in the reign of HANBY VI. for 2 chaplains and 13 poor men, one of the chaplains to be master and the other to teach and inform children in grammar, &c. ; all to reside. On the attainder of the founder, WILLIAM DI LA Poui, Earl of Suffolk, the hospital fell to the Crown. JAME, 1., by letters patent, granted the mastership to the University of Oxford, to increase the stipend and maintenance of the Regius Professor of Anatomy. In 1817 the Crown sold the Lordship of /Imams to the Earl of MACCLIIB7IIILD, who now claims and exercises the right of patronage to the almshouses. The premmt muter is Dr. KIDD, who is non-resident. The grammar-master, whose namo is not reported, is also non-resident. He performs no duty whatever. Ho Isle the boos of rouidenoo pro., THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 19, 1860. Tided fur him for his own benefit. The school he ought to superintend is totally abandoned, and the room is and for a national school for the parish children, under the direction of the pattsh minister. Now the property of this charity consists of 4,666 awes of land, comprising four manors in the aunty of Oxford. This fine estate, however, is let, en renewals , so that the average annual income is 1 no more than 7271. The two chaplains, or mas ters, divide one-half this income, giving two-tenths of the other half to the brethren, and reserviog the remainder, or ant-tenths, for repairs. The Com missioners consider that, properly leered, a large an nual income might be secured from the estates of this charity, and that it ought bib* administered according to the intention of the founder. They, therefore, sub mit to the Arrouny-OsszaaL to take proceedings for its reformation. 2. The Hospital at Guildford was founded in 1821, by Archbishop ABBorr. It was to provide for the Maintenance and habitation of a muter and from 8 to 12 poor men, and 8 women. The muter was to have 2W. a year, his lodging, living, gown, and a double share of fines. The buthren were to have 2s. 6d. a week and a shire of the fines. It appears that the lands are now let at the mu* rents as were originally fixed by the Archbishop in 1621, large fines being paid on every renewal. Out of these fines the master divides one moiety am.ng the brethren, and after taking a doable portion himself out of the other moiety, invests the balance in the Mae to produce income. There is an additional endowment, which they treat in the mme way. The Commissionen re port that the system of leasing this property is of doubtful expediency, and ought to be reconsidered; and that the present distribution of the fines is im proper, inasmuch es the muter and brethren get more than was intended for them. 3. No express trusts can be found with reeved to the parish leads of Leuivett. The property is ma naged by twelve self-elected trustees, acd the income (16W. a year) they appropriate in aid of the parish poor rate. This is objected to as, in effect, a relief to the rich and not to the poor: and the Commissiooers advise that an application foe a scheme should be made to the Court of Chancery. 4. The income of thS hospital at Westham is applied in distributing beef, peas, and grain amongst tee poor of Pevensey aid Westham, at the discretion of the parish bailiff. Oo the average 1341. a-year is received, the whole of which is not spent. The Com missioners say that the mode of illiflying the income is objectionable and falls for imp vement, and that the treasurer has too much money in his hands. 5. Scott's Charity, at Drypool, Yorkshire, was de vised ix 1717 for the use of the poor of the parish of Sudeoatts for ever. The property consists of a farm let at 1051. a year; the whole of which is appropriated to t►e poor's rate, as in No. 3. 6. Watts's Charity, at Rochester, was devised to the corporation of that city in 1679 to provide for the relief and sustentation of poor wayfaring travellers. The present income amounts to 3,1361. • year, and out of this sum 751. a year is spent according to the wishes of the donor : the balance being applied to the poor rates and borough rates ! The commissioners may well consider this a case to be submitted to the ATTOHN EY-Gam MAL. 7. Archbishop HOLOATE'S School, at York, was founded in the reign of HENRY VIII., for the free use of the children of the city. The present school con sists of a master, an usher (who is senior scholar), and 18 scholars, of whom 6 are free and 12 are not. The annual value of the property is 425/., but by the syr. tem of leasing and fines it is reduced to 321. 12s. The master receives all the rents and fines to his own nee. The Commissioners recommend steps to be taken to secure a proper system of management of this property, and an education suited to the classes designated by the founder. 8. BARER'S Charity, at Ross, was left so lately as 183.5 for the benefit cf the Door. The property be queathed was "all the feeder* of his money in the funds, 6,:c." This residue amounts to nearly 27,0004, but at present not a farthing of it has been received, the t xecutors having thrown the estate into Chancery. Tne Commissioners desire that the ATTORNEY-GENE RAL should interpose his " active interference." 9. The profits of the poors' lands of Padstow are divided weekly among poor persons in the parish no' receiving parochial relief. There are no trustees, and the estates have fallen into the ado inistration of • single individual. The Commissioners recommend the immediate appointment of trusteee, and an inquiry into the existing condition of the charity with a view to increase the income and revise its application. Such are some of the cases which have come before the Commissioners. O.hers they have induced the parties to arrange upon a footing which they con sider satisfactory. These they have cited are sufficient, however, to show the nature of the cases which came under their consideration, and will, we hope, also be sufficient to convince the government that something should be done to secure the proper administration of estates of this description. FRANCE. PARIS, TUESDAY Everrifto. The trial of the editor of the Pouroir at the bar of Assembly elicited early an immense audience. The sitting opened at half-pest twelve. Every part of the house was crammed, and as usual the ladies were in a majority. A chair was placed in the hemicycle in front of the harem for the defendant. A small table, covered with a green cloth, occupied the usual place of the first bench of commissionere, at the foot of which M. Chaix d'Estange, the advocate for the defence, was to take his defence. Tue high prier of the cards of admission secti-ed an audience which contrasted strongly with the blouses of earlier sittings. The president of the Assembly rose, amid deep silence, and said that in the sitting of the 15th 51. Bane had called the attention of the Assembly to an article of the Pouroir, which seemed to him to attack the rights and authority which it held by the constitution, and to incur the penalties which were laid down in the lew of May, 1819, and in the decree lof the Constituent Assembly of April, 1818. lie therefore demanded that the responsible editor of this journal should be cited before the bar of the Assembly to explain himself with regard to the substance of the article, that they might see if there was ground for spplyiog the penalties in question. The article had been printed and distributed ; the editor had been sum moned, and he was ready to appear with the counsel which had been allowed him for his defence. But he (the president) would first read a letter which had been addressed to him by several representatives. The president here read a letter, sigred by Michael de Buurges and some twenty other representatives of the Mountain, declaring that the Assembly was not competent to try offences of the press, which were, by the constitutoin, subject only to the jurisdiction of juries ; and on these motives the undersigned abstained from taking any part in the trial of tha editor of the Pouroir. The presi dent said that the abstinence of members of the Assembly on this occasion, according to his view, was perfectly legal; bat, at the same time, he looked upon the Assembly as justified in the course adopted, sad competent to try attacks upon itself. The Assembly having decided against the useless delay of calling over the names of the members present, the president caused the defendant and his coun sel to be introduced. After the speech of M. Chaix d'Estange, in defence of the accused, the Assembly caused the defendant and his advocate to retire. They then voted upon the question whether the defendant was guilty of offence against the Assembly. This was affirmed by 273 votes against 154. As to the second question, whether the defend ant was guilty of attacking the rights of the Assem bly, it was decided that there was no occasion for deliberating on this. M. de Cronseilhes demanded that the Assembly should deliberate with closed doors on the _penalty to be inflicted. This was opposed by Jules Pays, but the Assembly decided upon forming itself into a Secret committee. The public tribunes were then cleared. After deliberating with closed doors for an hour and a half the Assembly decided, by a majority of 273 against 119, to fine the defendant 6,000 fr, but not to inflict the punishment of imprison ment.

The brutal behaviour of that class to the German oupulaticas during the administration of Mean. Tillisch, Rilenburg, and Hodges, could not assert the Gersten. to the Danish sales. Count Ealenburg would not run the risk of travelling through the country, but embarked kr Damask, from whence be proceeded by sea to Stett in. There is, of warn, nothing known about the plans of the belligerents; ben, to judge by the polities of General William', he intends to act on the defensive for the present . The plan of the Danish, cn the mitten, seems to be to attack. Such, at least, is the conjecture, from the het that the Dense have heavy ordnance with them, which is oily fit for siege operations. It is mid that they took French artillery officers in their service to manumit the skilful German officer, who entered the S. H. service. The 15th Prussian Regiment of Infantry, which was in sulted here or the 13th August last year, and was stationed in the city ever since, will be relieved next week by the 12th.

The 12th, oft the contrary, consists of Pulish subjects at Prussia, not very famous for cleanliness. 9 O'CLOCIL IN THE EVININO. I have returned fr m Afloat, when I saw the train arrive.

Communication by pcst from thence to this side is inter rupted. ITALY. ROMAN STATES. A letter from Bologna of the 11th, states that the band of It Panatore entered Fussignano, in the Roman States, a few days before, and carried off booty to the amount of 14,000 wadi (70,900 fr.). Tne Genoa Gazette: of the 13th, contains an an nouncement that the demand for shares for the pur pose of raising a monument in honour of the passing of the law abolishing ecclesiastical privileges is so gnat that the committee has not been able to meet all applications. The number of shares already taken amounts to 32,000. The same paper states from Rome that the pontifical government has demanded the extradition of Cernuschi, and that his departure fr.= Civits Vecchia has been suspended in conse quence. LOMBARDY. The Lombardo Veneto, a Venetian journal, of the 12th announces, on the faith of the Corriere Itahano, thit the Lombardo-Veuetian Senate is to sit at Verona, and that the employee of those provinces are to be chosen from among Italian.. THE LEVANT. By the Levant mail we have received Constanti nople journals to the 4th, and Athens to the Bth. In the night of the 22nd twin children were born to the 6 , lltan. The last accounts from Bulgaria represent that the insurgents had dispersed, even before the arrival of the imperial troops sent to chastise them.

In Mexico cholera rages in the interior. Rosa is likely to be president. At Jamaica the approaching meeting of the legislature was exciting great interest. In Dominica the legislature was engaged in remo dellong its constitution. Cotton culture had com menced there. The islands of Martinique and Guadeloupe are in a very disturbed state, and inoendiarism rapidly in creases. It has been necessary to proclaim martial law. Copious 'Moser. of rain had relieved the in habitants of the Antilles from their long suffering, the effects of which on the crops have been most bne &Mal. At the Havannah the militias very formidable body, are daily reviewed, and now garrison the city. All the regular troops are employed at various stati ons on the coast.

INDIA AND CHINA THE OVERLAND MAIL. We have received our despatches in anticipation of the Overland Mail from India. The dates are Bom bay, June 2 ; Calcutta, June 1 ; Madras, June 10 ; and Canton, May 23. A telegraphic summary of the news appeared in our paper of Wednesday. Our correspondent writes as follows : BOMBAY, Juita 2. I avail myself of the despatch of an express to Madras, to meet the Calcutta steamer, to send you • few ite.ne of news from Bombay—from other parts of India you will have may days' later news direct than 1 could give you. Lord and Lady Falkland reached Dapoo:te (near Poona), from Mahabuleshwar and Sat ars, on the 31st ult., where they will remain, most likely, all the end of October. lam sorry to say I was misinformed regarding the marriage in high life (Mr. Dickinson to Miss Willoughby) mentioned in my letter of the 11th ultimo. It has not yet occurred, but is expected to do so shortly. The Commander-in-Chief goes into Poona to morrow. Captain Hawkins, Indian navy, lately in command of the Hastings, has been temporarily appointed assistant-superintendent, 1.N., pendirg the pleasure of the Court of Directors. Captain Ethersey has gone to Scinde, av superintendeat Indus Flotilla. I regret to have to mention the death of Mr. George Grant, C S., head assistant to the Collector of Sno lapore. He was cut elf, after a few hours' illness from cholera, on the 24th ultimo. He had given over charge that morning to Mr. Inverarlty, the collector, and was on his way out, on horseback, to join his own camp about 20 miles off, when he was attacked by the disease at a place called Mun galavera, in the territory of the Chief of Sanglee. Here he was obliged to halt and send back to Snots pore for medical assistance, but before this could reach bim he was ro more—he died at three o'clock in the afternoon. Awfully sudden work this. His body was next evening interred in the Sholapore grave yard. The late Mr. Grant was • nephew of Cap tain Hawking, I. N., and had only returned from England in January last. lie was universally esteemed and respected by his friends and acquaint ances, and the news of his death will prove a severe blow to his relatives, whom he had so shortly before left in the highest health and splrits, looking forward to the period when he might rejoin them never more to b 3 separated in this world. Alas! for the delusiveness of human hopes and visions of happiness here below—not in one case in a hundred destined to be realised. Dr. McLen nan has taken his place as head of the medical board. Dr. Taylor, third member, has fallen back to superin tending surgeon in Sciude, and Dr. Don has been placed in medical charge of the 6th N.I. Of the na tive pupils taught at the Grant Medical College, the Conn of Directors (at Dr. McLennan's suggestion) have allowed twenty to be appointed sub-assistant surgeons on obtaining their diplomas. Their salary at first is to be 1201. a year, to be increased on length of service. They are to be placed in charge of dispensaries up and down the country, and to prac tice amongst the poor people gratis. This will be a great boon, and will be duly appreciated by the people. It is affirmed there is every probability of the detection of the gang who have for so many years been engaged in the work of ship-burning in our harbour. The steam-frigate Feroze has been reduced to a third-class steamer packet from Ist inst. Capt. Frus hard, her commander, has become Master Attendant, in room of the late Captain D. Ross. The pilot who was in charge of the steamer when she grounded on the James and Mary's Sand in the Hoogley, has been reduced Pram a master to • mate pilot. A medical committee ham been ordered to usemble and report on the fitness for a residence of the commodore's quar ters in the dockyard : the situation, from local causes, is utterly unsuited for a habitation, owing t, one of the town sewers emptying itself doe, by, and the stench sometimes arising from the putrid water in the docks. Two new firms have lately been established— Messrs. T. Edmond and Co. and George Rennie and Co. Mr. Goldamid, secretary to government re venue and financial departments, has joined;the governor at Poona, and Mr. A. Malet, chief secretary, has returned to his duties at the presidency. The Rev. Mr. Boyer has been appointed chaplain at Rajkote and Bhooj. At least twenty more ministers are required for the Bombay presidency, some of those now here having to visit half a dozen differ ent stations periodically, there being no ministers of the gospel at half oar military cantonments. An ap plication made to the Supreme Court by the firm of Dirom, Hunter, and Co., for a special Admiralty sessions to try the mate of the ship Mary Sparks, for the assault committed by him on the captain, so as to allow the vessel at once to proceed on her voyage to China, and thereby avoid the heavy loss which the owners will otherwise suffer by her detention here till after the ordinary crimi nal sessions in July, has been refused by the Chief Justice, on the ground of the great inconvenience the grand and petit jurors, who would require to be summoned, would be put to. Colonel Bradshaw, 60th Rifles, who commanded the force in the Ensufzaie countq, has contradicted the gross slander cast by the ifofurrilite newspaper on the 3rd Bombay, N. 1., who were affirmed to have "turned tail" before the spiny. The following letter from the secretary to the Bombay Railway may be of interest to share holders at home : Wis4,Esg., C. 8., Major J. Holland, Lieutenant- Colonel Ned Campbell, W. W. Cargill, Rig , and others, shareholden in the Oreat Indian Peninsular Railway Company. Gentlemes,—A. copy of the letter which you addressed to Mr. Secretary Goldsmid on t►e 30th ultimo, suggesting that before the proposed line of railway is extended beyond Tacna, the subject of the beet route to take inuoending the chants, should be investigated by govi rumen; by means of its own scientific and experienced officers hu been forwarded by hie lordship in council to the provisional oomaittee of the nul thaseekwayt ca go ia9tw a v i gis 7 ' w : i t th i san th jaai a not v Ta dsal u te u r t ta shershowini to tha direst l yousomanadrrelypothstbendineficera:hooend present any further notice of th e su bj ect of your communion. don is rendered unnecessary by my letter to gnvernment, No. 101, dated 27th ult., and Mr. Secretary Goldsmid's reply of the 4th inst., No. 607. 2. That you may be suede acquainted with the nature of the correspondence just referred to, I em directed to inform you that shortly prior to the date of your letter, the committee, in consequence of instructions from the home beard addressed a communication to government, proposing that the attention of the engineering staff should for the pre sent be devoted to the completion of the Tanna section, and that it was intimated to them, in reply, that government had no objection to the company adopting the course thug suggested. It may be added, that whilst fully iv premed with the expediency of constructing and "puling the Tagus line with all practical despatch, the committee by no means regard the section u the " Exparinsent-I Line of Railway " contemplated by the contrat• with the Hon. But India Company. They think it may be well to poet. pone fee a short time the determination of the question connected with the direction of the line after crossing the Tanna estuary, but they are of opinion that the railway must be extended considerably beyond Tines before it will afford • fair test of the advantages of introducing railway communication into this part of India.—l have, &0., ( 81 1 ,2441 ) T. J. A. Bcorr, cratary G I.P.R. Company. Railway Office, Bombay, May 23,1850. The Calcutta Englishman, in its overland summary, says: The prevailing dulness of the hot season has left ne but little of interest to record. The Indian government cannot afford to blow up • city *very fortnight for the benefit of newspaper readers, sod though an earthquake has been re ported since our last despatch, it dots not appear to have done damage enough to be thought worth the trouble of recording at the place where it was felt. Our GovernorHenersl, as he is styled by the Court of Directors, is said not to have derived that benefit from the climate of Simla which wee expected, and the, tact accounte from that plus were, that his lordship intends to pass t h e rainy season at Konawah, a station fut:her from the plains, which le Unaided much lees damp than Simla. The meeting of two great men, like that of two thunder eloe.da, is expected to produce an explosion. Reports of a told weather campaign are again current. We here little to repel among our neighbours. Oar lad advices from liydersbsd state that ; " The agreement to pay tee resident money has not been kept. In fad there is no money to pay any body, and two =malls' mutinies and bloodshed is the consequence. The Seikha, who have been mutinying for some time put, three days ago assumed a formidable attitude. They took possession of Rajah Ram Bus's Nakarcanah, perhaps the lord's part of hie mansion, end threatened hostilities. The catastrophe was to be averted ; and whilst a whole host was called in to defend the minister, Sahookare notes for • lakb of rupees, as an earnest of other future payments, were given to the Seikhs. With the excep.ion of a sum of 11,000 rupees, which his been paid, the writers of the other notes are not to be heard of upon 'Change " We have nothing stirring here. The weather his been generally favourable to our planters, and even in those districts where they were complaining of drought, the latest reports are of greatly improv►d prospects. On the whole, the crop of indigo is expected to equal, or gifted, that of last year.

CALCUTI A, Irish 1.-Since date of our last report. 13th May, we hare been put in poseeseion of the first mail of April, which came to hand on the 15th ult., with tendon dates up to the 7th of April. The character of oominercial advices brought us by the above opportunity does not belie the eepectations formed from the tenor of the preceding mail or two. Upon the wool., the advice.; are mon discouraging as regards the produce of this country than were three receivol on the two or three preceding Of C .10i00A, destitute as they *coveter. were of anything cheertut With the almost single esee p. tem of indigo produce had still further deteriorated, and proepeets, in the face of heavy ste:ks and liberal anticipated arrivale, were very fat from encouraging. The colonial market was dull and inset in, and there was nothing to juoti'y the expectation of any improvement for some time to come. The ...mind mail of April is on the eve at arrival, but we do not look forward to receive anything of • cheerful charmer. Here and there there may be a little alteration in the position of some smelts, but generally we fear the features will be as discouraging es before. The tenor of above advice. was doubtless calculated to mid to the gloom of busMees in our markets, but, contrary to general expects. lion, and owing to some favoerabte turn in circumstance. heeling upon besieges; in our local markets, we are ...fleeted to notice • slight reactior. A considerable decline in the rates of homeward Ireothtage, coupled with the sightly cosier prices of pre Me, has encouraged a little life and ae.

The export market, although exceed/mly dull dun ine nearly the whole month of May, has within the put week ex hibited a little more animation ; end ea rates of freight are not likely to advance, nor value of produce to become stiffer, now that the season for arrivals draws nigh, we may reasonably look tor a continn. once of gradually mending bueiness Generally speaking, there is more de , iresploarent during this fortnight to:speculate, and priors are also lower.
