VON RADOWIIZ, PRUSSIAN MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS, TO THE REGENCY AT KIEL, DATED BERLIN, OCT. 23, 1830. The sincere and lively interest which his Majesty's go. yeremeet necessarily take, and have uniformly taken, in the welfare of a federal crevices so sear to them as Holstein, renders it their duty at the present mo meet, the gravity and important tendencies of which will net be denied by the regency, to address an earnest and friendly counsel to that body, with a view to press upon their notice the conmderations which regard to that welfare imperatively demands. They have therefore entrusted the delivery of this' note to Major-General von Hahn. who is also in structed to give the regency any explanations they may wish. The position which his Majesty's government have assumed since the conclusion of the treaty of the 2nd of July of this year, will not be misunderstood by the regency. Though hie Majesty's government deeply regret the renewal of bloodshed, and though they have never ceased to aim at the restoration of a right under standing and peaceful state of affairs, by all means in their power, they have been obliged to wait for the adoptioncf decieive measures by the Germanic con• federation, to which the power to take them was reserved by the treaty of July 2, which, according to the fourth article has alone the right to ratify the treaty. This has now been done by almost all the members of the confederation, so that the treaty may be con sidered as ratified by the confederation. The whole affair hu thus been brought to a new and in fact a decisive point, and his Majesty's govern ment feel cocfidett that the regency will recognise the importance of this circumstance, and not conceal frees itself the respect which it, as an institution con stituted in the name of the confederation, owes to the authority now represented by the aggregate govern. mete. aggregate of the governments, or, in other wards, the coatederatioziteslf, has by the ratification of tl:etreatyof July 2. notonly re-established the peace with Denmark, but declared that the decision of the affair now rests with the confederation. There can be no doubt that his majesty the King of 1/enmark will fulfil the stipulations of the fourth article ; and there is equally little doubt that the treaty having been ratified, the confederation will act in conformity to these stipulations, and that for this purpose the confederation must find a competent ores& Prussia, holiing it to be the deity of every member of tl e confederation to co-operate in the appointment of such energy', has offered its assistance. To this end it has addressed both to Vienna and Copenhagen the proposal to appoint a special commission of all the German governmeets, and awaits the answers of thus governments, Bat in whatever manner, or whatever form the treatment of this affair in conformity with the principles of the confederation may be brought about, this is certain, that it must be decided by the, confederation, and that the moment for deciding it is not far distant. It is unquestionably the duty of all members of the roaederation to submit to its decision, as soon u it is announced by a c.cnpetent organ authorised by all the governments. Respect for this decision, which may be expected immediately, and foe the determination of all the members of the confederation in favour of peace, ought of itself to be sufficient to enforce Zhu avoid ance of bloodshed, which becomes useless so soon as the decision of the whole affair is to be arrived at by other means than arms. Since the confederation has undertaken the settle sett of the controversy, the regency may rest m uted that every right appertaining to the eaafedsra tire or any of its members, will be fully protected and eared for by an organ that represents the aggregate of the Germania confederation. The regency will therefore sus what a heavy r‘poneibility it will draw upon itself by contiani ag the war, when a fortunate au unfortunate result of an appeal to arms can contribute equelly little to the final decision of the controversy, Ilk Majesty's government confidently trusts that the regency will not relinquish its object of coming to a right understanding with its sovereign, and will see that the restoration of peace is a necessary pre-requi site of such an understanding. These considers'ions for the real interest of the duchies have induced his Majesty's government to express the following desires to the regency : 1. That out of respect for the actual position of affairs, and the ratification of the peace, it will.abstain from all aggressive operations. 2. That it will declare its mediates to agree to an armistice, under conditions to be hereafter specified in detail. His Majesty's government, animated by a lively wish to put an end u soon as possible to those la mentable hostilities, hereby offers its mediation. MejorGeceral von Hahn, is therefor* authorised iu the event of the regency being ready to accept of his offer—which his Majesty's government cannot doubt will be the cue—to proceed immediately to the Danish head• quarters, and make overtures to the general in command there. With a view to accelerate arrangements as much as possible, his Majesty's minister at Copenhagen will be instructed to maks a simultaneous application there for an armistice, and to urge the Danish govern ment to empower their commander-in-chief to con clude an armistice on equitable terms. MAY was tarnished by his Creator with five mum winch place his soul or sentient part in communiea ti In with external nature. These firs OHMS are sufficient for men in an undeveloped and uncivilised state. The progress of civilisation and the activity of intellect produce, however, almost a DOW world of things and truths, to be conversant with or cognisant of which requires what may be justly teemed a sixth sense; for without it man is shut oat from this knoaledge nil sixth sense is the faculty of reading and writing, with the knowledge of the terms and language used in interoommenication. Education, is ifs simplest form, is the endowing the young with the sixth sense. A man owes this to his &Ur', as mach as be owes its preservation from blindness or deafness. And the rich of society owe it to the poor, who want time and means for s ecur i ng such an indispensable acquirement for their own class. _ _ . The CRIATOR, in endowing min with five senses, imposed no low or condition that a pious use should be made of this. They Awe given Ns the discernment of evil as well: as of geol. To smelter faculty was reserved the power er d preferring, sad of avoiding. Ilan, is ID the sixth, or more artificial, sense of siaapial . Ilea, adopts a different plan.

Suppose that sight was a sense ski& sirs alone Gould give, or parental attention awakes, ea that • community should declare that to none d the rising generation should be imparted the IP of right, unless the promise or the habit wan ht Me . same time bummed of looking towards sad weeghipping certain forms. Would not this be he man to Mow a aiggardlineis, a nelflotmem, and a list, very contrary to - the law of the CRZATOI in his is working, who gave certain seeses hr toe sad kooeledge, unconditionally, and them to ram son end good instruction to direct sad sesleni timer We believe, however, that this prefabs, width makes iehiential people shrink from gi: a sl emiowment of this sixth sense to the people at Is derived from the habits and the modes of tri the time when this new sense namely exists!. Is fact, until the discovery of the art of printing, isteroommanication of thought and information be tween man and man was chiefly and necessarily oral. Manuscript could never give publicity, nor handwrit ing convey information to the poor. Instruction and education were necessarily oral to a very great extent, and scriptural instruction wee of course the hesitates of the clergy, whose aim was not to communicate any sew or worldly sense, but merely to inculcate certain traditional truthe, not to be questioned; for human development and knowledge give no means of testing or of questioning them. The fifteenth century opened a new era ; it created a new intellectual world, and invented what we have described as a new sense for the perception of it. The reformed religion sprung icstantly by a kind of asesaity from it. And the old traditional views, and sal science of things spiritual as well as of things ssientific, were rejected for such as were consonant with the ideas of men, making we of their own in tellects, and studying revelation and history as well es the tendencies of their own minds, by the new lights which Providence had allowed to be struck forth at a later day. We can perfectly comprehend how a decided hoe tility should be shown to the general endowment and seatannication of the sixth sense by the chiefs of fiat religion which lo.t its hold and supremacy in the sixteenth century. We can well understand that these who still cling to exclusively oral instruction, Ind to the system of teaching a belief which is grafted es molar ignorance, and which wi:l not grow or Illesrith on any other stem, should throw every obstacle is the way of the free gift of the elements of learning. What we cannot comprehend is, that at the present moment, above all others, men of those religions which have been founded on private judgment, and exist by it, should prevent or restrict the materials and in struments of their private judgment. In other words, that haring ousted Rome, they should take Rome's mat and attitude instead of that of their own tore ' lab= and elders. We feel confident, for our part, that it bee religion is to issue triumphant from the struggle Into which it is entering, it will be by its adoption of the principle of free education ; for if each sect will limit itself to instrnotingoes far as its zeal and wealth permit, the young of its own creed, it limits within that circle its powers of propagating that belief. It remains on the defensive, and cannot gain, whilst it is certain in some degree to loss. Because be and the pale of all creeds there is a large multi tude of waits, that, if left in ignorance, will in all probability fall to that creed which is adapted for it, and which is best combated, not by setting dogma against dogma, but intelligence and education against traditional belief and non-learning. There is no need in this controversy to pit protestantism and catholicism against one an other. For there are a great many catbo lice who are es ready as protestants to make use of the sixth sense, and to communicate it. Roman catholic* are not all of the ignorantin school. And it is this that renders them formidable ; for whilst some appeal to the narrow prejudices of monkery, others take their stand with the pure and intellectual development of an advanced age. Do not many of the Roman cathAic prelates of Ireland and of England suction a system of mixed education, which some champions. of the Anglican, and even 'Assent ing churches, shrink from P The great point to be arrived at is the separation of the elements of education, the simple conferring . of the sixth tense, from the inculcation of any sectarian view of Christianity, Time and necessity, we fear, will aloes work the general accordance with a prin ciple so useful. Sects will long maintain the appa rently useful custom of instilling peculiar tenets along with the elements if education, and will continue to oppose secular education is the teaching of something contrary to what they believe. One of the first things requisite to explode this belief is, the actual working and experience cf a plan of secular education, accompanied by religious instruction, independent of the school. The undertaking of this by a state department appears of doubtful success. Like all the other efforts at education in this country, it goes prosperously for a certain length, but no more. All in fact stop short of the only end for which national effort is required, the teaching of the waifs and neglected of the population, and the bringing them into the pile of intelligent beings. All have read the interesting discoosicn which took place the day before yesterday in Macchester, and at which Mr. COBDEN delivered one of his peculiarly significant and powerful speeches. No thing can be more fitted to Lancashire than the plan of the association which tcok its first name he. that county. We must own we should hare bees glad to have seen it tried on the mixed population of that county, ere the demand was made to extend it to all England. It is not that the demand is unfit; bat the obstacles and repugnance are proverbially great, too great to be made to yield save to the power of a successful experiment. We have already, however, occupied too much space to admit of our doing justice to the great edu cational meeting at Manchester. The remarks of the provincial press, so worthy attention on this subject, will give us the opportunity of discussing it in a day or two more hilly. PCBLIC attention is at length directed—thanks to the approaching Ethibition—to the defective state of our patent laws. These more immediately interested in the matter bars long complained, but little atten tion has been paid to their grievants. They stet to monopolise, and monopoly of any kind is so distaste ful to the people that inventors have gained no sym pithy when complaining that they canoe , exclusively possess the property they have created. The injurious effects of monopolies in general strengthen this feeling against patentees, and the hindrance which patent rights often pr sent to improvement tends to emirs the prejudice. Their clause, however, deserve he be fairly considered, and the increased importance at tached to novel products of industry by the challenged rivalry with foreign nations, gives those claims greater prominence. The inventor gays that by the exertion of meek thought and ingenuity, and at tho cost of much time and money, he has produced a new application of s scientific principle, calculated to bent fit mankind This product, which is property of his own creation he rightfully claims as his own ; he asks to have it protected from robbery and invasion, on the same, and perhaps en stronger, ground, that an author chum the co ht of his week, or a' landlord the secure possessfns of his estate. There is nothing unreason. alb in this request ; yet the inventor finds himself fa ibis within of an outlaw, sine any one may rob him el He invention without his having the shadow 1 sakes*, unless he pay a considerable eum af sway to be placed within the pale of the tow. To obtain this privilege in Eng land and -ties colonfee costs on au average 1301., end if flesilead and Ireland be included, we cannot get with in for much less than 6001. This dearly privilege extends no further; it is of itael no protection ; it merely gives him the op portunity to protect himself. For this sum the courts are thrown open to him, sod if when his property is attacked, he ventures to enter the arena he may see arrayed against Lisa the very officers of the crown by whose rteommendAtien to the Queue the patent was granted foe the exclusive right to manufacture lad tend. Stich is the hardship of the patent laws to the inventor; let us glance at the other side of the pic ture and see bow they affect the public. Though the right of property is not conferred by letters patent on what is termed a " natural principle," THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 1, 1850. let any apps f• it to a specified paw roe may affiebinidif . 7 Ate piaci* ttasU.time hr au could at any time hive steam gene rally,norany of b peepaedei bat the application of it a. moving,pewor, - with • deruiption of any putt cols muds - du applying it, might bur roamed on the original inventor the monopoly of steam power, however crude and useless his pn of applying it might have been: 'Thu had the beautiful invention of Wm bat followed close cia the almost worthless bet original steam engine of &vont, he could not have breaght it into use without the permission of the mmingeliser of steam. • baboon of the obstruction tehlqwevement by the claims of patentees to the ex am*, SU ef natural agents are d frequent occur t ; darll paleshe can skim not only the applica tion' ienael In die speciflcsUon of his invention, but ha applierden in any manner to e ff ect a similar object. It is serif uses me these that make monopoly othoos. But the ingenious inventor is mole strongly oppored than the petite can be to these patent drags on im provement, the it is he who suffers most, and be looks eagerly far anainuidment of the law which will give effectual preeseden to meritorious inventions and pre vent obstreseive monopolies. The pitted laws of this country are as absurd as they are Winking and unjust. Her Majesty's litters patent, granting "our especial license, full power, sole privilege, and authority," to " make, use, exer cies, and vend," any invention may be obtained, by payment, for the most ridiculous and impracticable schemes. It an application for a patent is not op posed by some oempeting inventor it is granted as a matter of course, without any inquiry. We doubt not, indeed, that her Majesty's especial license and full power and authority would be granted to any applicant for a railway to the moon. Yet, notwith standing this facility of monopoly in foot, there is the pretence of the most scrupulous inlairy. The application has to pass through numerous offices, different documents are drawn out and signed and sealed, but for no other purpose than to exact fees. Bo little, indeed, is known of an invention claiming monopoly that no description of it is re quired till six months after the patent has been ob tained. Numerous instances occur of the injustice us well as of the absurdity of this proceeding. We be lieve it is not uncommon for persons who have an inkling of an invention by another to obtain letters patent with a comprehensive title, in the hope that, by the expiration of the six months allowed for specift don, they may obtain such an insight into the nature of the invention as to enable them to forestal the real inventor. They manage these things better abroad. On the Continent and in the United States the specification of an invention must be lodged at the time of the application for the patent. Officers are specially appointed to investigate the asters of the invention and to determine whether it possess stiffi eject merit and novelty to justify the grant of the patent applied for. Common sense as well as justice dictate a similar course in this country ; but so little regard is paid to the novelty of the invention that patents upon patents would be unhesitatingly granted for exactly the same inventions, Bs long as they were applied for and not opposed. Considering the high pnoe charged for her Majesty's letters patent, the purchasers have surely a right to obtain something more for their money than a sheet of parchment and a pound of resin impressed with the LORD CHANCELLOR'S seal. They ought to be assured that the privilege granted to them is not invalidated by a corresponding privilege previously granted to another; and they should have the assistance of qualified officers in drawing up their spwifications in the manner required for perfecting the grant. The protection afforded should be what it professes, a " grant for the encouragement to all arts and inventions which may be for the public good," and cot be obtained by purchase without inquiry. Both to inventors and the public the patent laws are most unratisfaotory. To the former they give but the semblance of protection, whilst the indiscriminate sale of monopolies operates as a dead weight on manufacturing industry. FRANCE. PARIS, TIIIII/DLT EVINI2IO. The C immittee of Permanence met again to-day to resume the adjourned deliberations of the sitting of yesterday, and to hear the explanations of the Mi nister ot War and of the Minister of the Interior relative to the motives for removing General Neu mayer from Pada, and to the secret sittings of the Society of the Dix-Decembre. M. Dapin not having' arrived in Paris, the sitting was presided over by Leon Faucher. The debate was more animated than yesterday. General Schramm did not make his appear ance, it having been decided this morning in a cabinet council, held at the Elysee, that it would be better and more prudent to confide the explanations to a more adroit and wary speaker than the Minister ot War, erle e t soldier-like bluntness and want of tact might compromise the government on this deli cate question. M. Baroche was therefore charged to give the explanations required on both subjects. The Minister of the Interior having informed the commis sion of this after his own way, the debate opened upon the subject of General Neumayer's removal. The question was stated categorically thus: M. Be rale was called upon to answer "yes" or" no "to the following question : Wu General Neamayer replaced in his command of the first division because he had refused to be instrumental in ordering the troops to cry " Vive l'Emperenr !" at the review of Satory ? M. Baroche, in a speech of considerable length, answered in a vague and evasive manner, and sought to embroil the question. He was brought back, however, to the matter by several members, aced was called upon several times to answer by a plain 0 yes" or "no" to the above question. M. Baroche having re fused to do this, M. Mole, and after him M. Odilon Barret, declared emphatically that they accepted M. Baroche's refusal to give a categoric answer as an ad mission of the reason supposed. The Commission was of opinion that it was better not to come to a con clusion on the question of convoking the Assembly before the appointed term. In the meantime they appointed a committee, consisting of M. Molt, bl. Oddon Barret, M. Leon Faucher, and two or three others, to draw up an opinion upon the explanations given by the Minister of the Interior. This opinion will be presented in the next sitting of the Com mission, which is adjourned till Saturday. It will without may doubt be then inserted in the precis resbai of the sitting. The great importance of inch a result is, that there will be a motion made when the assembly meets for the printing of all these precis arbour, which will be equivalent to a string of' mum censures upon the government, and derogate I sensiderably from the dignity of the President of the Republic, whose course of action will be roundly taxed with aiming at sovereignty by illegitimate means. The Commission next entered upon the ques tion of the sitting of the Dix-Decembre. M. Baroehe was more fortunate in his oratory upon this @abject lie accused the statements of the police eanunisseey of gross exaggeration, and said that he had already instituted • searching inquiry as to the propped ings of the meeting in question. Not only this, but the government was already occupied with the doings of the Dix-Decembrs, and bad appointed an emirate for the purpose of thoroughly sifting the objects of that society, and finding out whether it was a boa fide charitable institution and meted aid society, oe had political aims in view, such as were attributed to it. The Commission was content,to receive for the the present these explanations, and then adjourned until Saturday. Upon the accuracy of these details you may place the strictest re lance. I have already indicated what will be the nature of the sitting of Saturday. The report of MM. Molt, Odilon Barret, and Faucher, will be read, and after due revision inserted in the precis rerbal. You may be quite sure that there will be no extraordinary convocation of the Aseembly ; unless some unforeseen event should Nipper. M. Duple is expected to preside at the sitting of Satur day. Th e sitting to-day lasted from half-past 12 tills. After the sitting of the Committee of Permateues cabinet council was held at the Elysie, in which M. Baroabe stated the result of Lis mission. I was not mistaken in announcing to you yester day, that for the moment a truce had been concluded between Changarnier and the Elysee. The former accepting as a satisfaction the promotion of Gene ral Neumayer to a higher grade, is content to overlook all that appears aggressive in the removal of that officer from Paris. • Re has exerted himself to overcome the scruples of Gen. Neumayer to accept the sort of honourable difigraoe conferred upon him, and begged him not to sacrifice his prideisional prommotir to a question of amour props. The promotion eittlen. Neatuayer to the unt amed of the 14tk sad 18th military divisidas was tattled in the third embiast council, held late on the sight befit last. Conektediossosi gives the following details eon arming the displasomant of Goo. Nenosayor : This measure had bees dieeessed os several occasions during the ministry of Gee. dllauspoeth Geo. Numayer, it was thought, might he removed without nixing objests hoes the part of Gen. Canaria:sr, as the latter had not bees instrumental in Mailing him is the pat which he haLd.

Aftsr the satinestion—for nth it must M considered—had been oitered,w Gemehengarntw of Gen. d'liautpoure diewbeal, the sena& st Wakens took up again the qaestios of Gen. ffiesmayer's displausunt ; and this measure was resolved in the eosaeffi. Bat, ma soon as Gen. Chaogarnier wm bloused of the resolution, he took loudly the port of as alias not of his own choice. All explanations were gives with readiness, and the President added :—" There is uniting, geniis'!, in this oeuvre which can wound yon. We tad fixed urns G I Carnet ; bat to prove the high confident* with which ion in , pin me, here is a list sufficiently nusurous of smash who are qualified by seniority for being promoted to the command of the first divines. &lest ; I sanction your choice," Geo. Mummies bowed and abstained. It is needless to add that neither the President nor his ministers had the least idea of restricting in any way the extensive powers enilded to General Changemier, which ate such that while there is no one at the Elysie charged to command or to move a single regiment, General eintrigarnier has alone under his guard the President and the whole gonna. sent. . . . . General Carrelet, who replaom General Neumayer in the cammand of the first military division, was nominated Lcatenant-general the 10th July, 1848, by General Cavaigoac, then chief of the executive government. He ia a grand officer of the legion of honour. _ _ It is said that M. Davergier d'Hanranne and M. Bidault, who were members of the Constituent, will be the candidates of the party of order for the depart ment of the Cher at the ensuing election. The dfuniteur contains a long report from M. rayon to the Minister of Agriculture and Commerce. giving an account of the mission conferred on him of visiting the turf-making establishments in the vicinity or Dublin. M. Payee minutely describes the method of proceeding in these concerns. By the new system of turtmaking employed by Mr. Roger., the head in spector of the principal establishment, " the turf," M. Payee say., " may be formed into a dense sort of coal, richer in carbon, and more solid for conveyance than carbonised turf; comparable, and in some air , cumatances preferable, to the beet charcoal." He ' concludes by saying that the union of the Irish and I French systems would enable the extensive turbans of France to be turned to good account. M. Dreyfus, a French merchant established at Rio Janeiro, has just arrived in Faris, on a commercial mission from the Brazilian government. He hu already been received by the Minister of Foreign Affairs. The Gazette of Lyons states that arrests continued to be made in that city in connection with the recelitly discovered conspiracy. A member of the council general, a member of the municipal council, and the proprietor of a printing and lithographic establish ment, were amongst those taken into custody. The Notteelliste of Marseilles also announces thb arrest in that city of a M. Tunnel, of Toulon, for participation in the same affair. Domiciliary visits were made a few days since at the residences of nineteen citizens of Toulon. Among those persons thus visited were M. Pons, the editor of theiDemoerate, and some others connected with that publication. These visits were followed by the arrest of three individuals, named Bourgeois, Cavalier, and Mealy. The Count de Montalembert embarked on the 25th at Toulon on board the Dauphin steamer, fur Ctvita Vecchia, on his way to Rome. PARIS, OCT. 111. S par Coats. $ pie Cab. S . do. New Lem. .

The result of the conferences at Warsaw seems likely to be as favourable to Auatris, in so far as the wishes of its government are considered, as could be desired. It is positively asserted, in a telegraphic despatch in the Cologne Gazette, dated Berlin, Oct. 30, " that, according to despatches received on the pre vious day from Warsaw, the Prussian proposals are refused. Denmark will scarcely accept the proposed Common Commission." The same policy which dictates this decision has, it is said, led to the return from Vienna of an evasive answer is reply to the despatch in which Prtumia proposes a commission, ad hoe, for settling the affairs of Schleswig-Holstein. It is also stated by our own correspondent that a Russian note has arrived at Berlin which confirms the auplessint oommucications made by Count Bran denburg a few days previously. Russia demands the immediate reconstruction of the Bundestag. It is reported that Bavaria and Austria intend to occupy the military roads through Baden. The Bonth-German news teems with accounts of marching of troops towards the Main. Up to the present time, however, the Bavarians and Austrians only muster about 12,000 men, whilst the Prussians have about 20,000 placed according to the best mili tary strategy along the roads through the electo rate. _ _ A telegraphic despatch from Vienne, dated Oct. 28, states that the Steam Navigation Company on the Danube has received orders to prepare tags and ves sels for the transport of troops from Croatia, Servia, and Wallachia. krOniffe;ii-Csaind we learn, under date the 29th ult., that Hayman bad left the capital of the electo rate with the small remnant of troops occupying the Castle. There seems to have been some difficulty about the key of this strong - hold, which Replan seemed as loath to give to a con stitutionalist, u a Paseyite parson to give up the key of his church to a Gorhomite successor. The troops, when they had assembled at Hanan and Wil belmsbad, were disbanded, au i nothing but the cadres of the regiments remain. The Prussian envoy to the electorate, Hear yes ThU., had an interview with the Elector on the 29th, at Wilhelmsbad.

She is slightly damaged. The Bellerophon arrived at Gibraltar in twenty-six days from Malta, during which the lost her muter and 49 men by cholera. Cholera has re appeared at Alexandria. "Oar currant crop (says a letter from Patna) has been in a very awkward state throughout the season, in consequence of the growers in the lonian Islands refusing to sell their fruit, by asking most exorbitant prices. The rake bare gone up for Pathan and Vass tins quality, from 3lidols. to 36 dole., equal to 22a. per cwt. f.0.b., but little good fruit now remains un sold. Thrice is a large deposit of inferior Gulf quality, which shippers are afraid to touch, bang moist and rain damaged.* INDIA. THE OVERLAND MAIL. We have received by express oar despatches in antintpaties of the overland mail from India. The dates are : Bombay Oct. 3, and Calcutta, Sept. 21. The state of India is as satisfactory as could be desired. Everywhere the most complete tranquillity prevails, and even our unruly neighbours, the Abo des', have abstained from acts of violence. The following is from the letter of oar correspon dent: BOMBAY, Ocrr. 3. The present mail is about as neweless a one as has ever left eke shores of India—since the year 1838, at any rate. Pates and quietness prevails through out the length and breadth of the land: even the Ni es= has become peacefully disposed; end the Affre , dees around Kohat have been inclined to do the polite to their old antagonists—Captain Coke and his irregulars, they having sent him word to evacuate his post at Kohat by the 18th ult. (op to which time he might do, without fear of molestation, we presume), or they would pounce os him, and make short work of him and his detachment. The polite ness of the offer cannot be denied, though the Mete dies mast, at the times of making it, have known it would be rejected. It is probable that when the Governor-General reaches Peshawar some arraogs. meat will be entered on with these wild sons of the mountains by which their fealty and friendship may be secured at one-tenth the cost we are at present put to to counteract their hostility. In this there would be nothing degrading, while the saving of life would be something to ne, putting monetary considerations out of the question altogether. Col. Hodgson, of the Ist Sikhl local infantry, is to have the command of the ten corps—five infantry and five cavalry—of the local force, with the allowances of a second-class brigadier.—The excavation of the Rechna Doab Canal is to be commenced on immedi ately. Upwards of three hundred and thirty thousand pounds' worth of old coin—Namnk Shebat rupees—is by this time on its way down to Bombay to be re-coined. Heavy rain had fallen at and around Waxeerabad about the middle of September, while a drought prevailed over the north-west provinces of India, where a sickly hot season is expected. The 4th local infantry (llennis'e) expect to leave Lahore for Leia, near Meehan, early in Oc tober.—lt is thought likely that Mr. Com missioner Pringle will remain some time longer in Scinde,— and the natives, having heard thelrumour to that effect, were everywhere rejoiced thereat. The state of the Kurrachee Custom-house since the late reduction (or rather breaking up) of the establish. ment, at the head of which was Mr. John Mc Leod, has given great dissatisfaction. H. M.'s Bth Foot are to leave Kurrachee and Hydrabad for Dena in November,—their place in Scinde being taken by the 83rd from Poona, whose place again is to be taken by the 86th from Deem. The wings of the High landers at Aden and Bombay are to exchange stations—head-quarters remaining at the former place. The disputes betwixt Sir C. Napier and the Governor-General are said to have gone to such extreme lengths as to have compelled the latter to complain to the home authorities,—who, as a mark of their disapprobation of Sir Charles' con duct, are represented as having wished to refuse his resignation, and in its stead issue a mandate for his recall : from this they (the Indian home authorities) are believed to have been deterred, from • wish not to displease his Grace of Wellington, whose protjge the hero of Meinee is believed to be. It is just poi slble there may be no foundation whatever for the latter part of this story: the former portion is im plicitly believed in India.—The Niztoa is said to have become reconciled to his minister. The subjoined summary, from this morning's l Overland Times gives a brief outline of the events of the pant uneven ful fortnight. The deaths in Bom bay during September were 1,002, of which only 135 were from cholera, and this pestilence may now be said to be leaving the island. The Governor General continues at Chief, in Renew= till about the end of October, when he proceeds to Lahore by Hoshistpore and Umritsir : thence to Puhawur, return ing to Simla about the 25th November. He will in the course of the year have nearly swept the circle of the British dominions in the east, He in January ttavelled from Lahore by Mooltan and through Undo to Bom bay. He thence proceeded to Ceylon and Sin gsporii, returning to Calcutta by way of Penang and Moulmein He continues in excellent health, and is not lik-ly to leave us we imagine till hie term of service ia completed. The Governor of Bombe, has just gone to the hills for the restoration of his health, not having yet got entirely round from the effects of the attack of the 28th July. Sir Charles Napier beeves for Eastland rice Calcotte, about the time the Marquis of D Anomie returns to Simla. A magnificent ma nument, subscribed for by his native admirers is just being eonstructed to the memory of the late Rajah of Sattarah, in the shape of a tunnel enabling traffic to pass through a range of hills to the low country in place of taking the circett of the ridge. It 1.200 feet in length, 22 in height, and 30 in width. From Zensibar we learn that some Ftenahmen had arrived with a view of establishing sugar mills in the territories of H. H. the Immure of Muscat, but that the principal party, by unwisely sleeping in the jungles, had caught fever and died. Govern ment are anxious to send an cape 'Won to explore the N.W. portion of Africa from Berbera inland: Lieute nant Cruttettdeo, EN., has been offered charge, but de clined it. The captain of the ship Mary Florence, lost off Cape Guardatui on the 23ed of June, having been sent to Aden at the expense of government to see alter the mate and the missing portion of his craw, proceeded straight to England without making any inquiries into the matter, though his wife was one of the absent. She had been, as it turned out, drowned in endeavouring to return to the ship. The conduct of the captain is allowed on all hands to have been most disgraceful ; his wi's are said to have been imoaired.—Major General Barr, late in command of the southern division of the Bombay army, has just reached Bombay, and returns to Europa for good by the steamer of the 3rd of November, having been tory-four years inlndis.—A Bengal commiagariat contractor, lately charged with extensive frauds on go vernineat, fa about to sue the government for an out standing balance of a million and a third due on his Le trouts on the Affghen and Sikh wart The question as to whether the Brengel line of railway is to be a doable or a single one has been referred to the home authori ties the former having been shown impracticable it returns are desired, the latter will, it is supposed, be conceded. The cone ,et for the first section has been given to MOWS. Elms lie and Co., London, represented by th e local firm of Ma melt, Barn and Co., builders, Calcutta. A letter of Mr. Colleting Nicholson, secretary to the Loudon Board of the Great Indian Peninsula Railway, published in the London Tones, speaks of there being no intention to stop railways till the sealed resources of India are opened up. It takes five years to get thirty miles arranged for here, and about as much more to have it constructed: how long will it take to provide us with a thousand miles? The Court refuse for the present to gusrantee more than half a million, and capitalists refuse to stir witboat a guarantee ; when the breaking of the soil will begin, remains to be seen. Mr. Nicholson disputes the accuracy of the Bombay prices current, he taking one view of the manner in which quotations should be given, Bombay brokers another—they sum at one on facts : —his unities on our misquotations is ajuegle—his assertion that the Bombay Time, is the organ of a disappointed party, iv a mis-statement. The report current at the date of last despatch that Sir H. Lurrenee had been taken prisoner by the Cashmere'', proves wholly without foundation.—One event, says the Cakutto Overkind Star,. though of importance to but a section of the community, his occupied a good deal of public attention and proved the cause of considerable discussions in the jounsils of this presidency. We allude to the petition made by the dissenters for a portion of the barisl-grounds allotted by government for interment purposes. A spot so ' ludicrously small was granted, that the dissenters declined its acceptance, and there us talk of purchasing some other as a public cemetery, with a proprietary right as eh meholders independent of all state intervention. Out of the tor uspondence on the subject has arisen a question as to the title of dissenters to bury in ground consecrated by a bishop of the established chinch. Oar prelate has even gone so far as to menace undertakers who shall assist at any funeral rites not performed by a clergyman of the establish neat !—showing that Mammonetlil bolds place in the hearts of our pastors, because the whole thing turns on a dreaded diminution of burial fees should the petition be counte nanced." The Settanee Joetabhase, of Baroda, has been fully exculpated of all the charges brought against her, and her mangos' has confessed his guilt. Her child, proved to have been genuine, is acknowledged to have been stolen, and believed to have been poisoned ; sad now, if justice may be looked for anywhere in India, might she, according to Hindu law and customs, to be per emitted to adopt another. What fresh sufferings or mortifi lotions may be in store for her, remains to be seen : her heritage is too ample to permit us to suppose that justice will be done herd her native friends can prevent it. All eyes are turned to Colonel Ontram and the Bombay govern meat, as the arbiters of bee fate.—The rains are now all bat over—the Elephants is impending. Oa this tido of Indio they have been moat deficient, end severe privation is cep prehended.—A discussion, which will appear at hems inn pier, is at present in progress amongst the newspapers at Bombay. The copyright of the Bombay Times having been sold for 7,5001. on Its having been shown that on an investment of 2,8001. some 20,0001. had been received, as esti profits within ten years, an attempt wee made to lye , the sale by one of the proprietors of the Tele- Inept mid Courier, who npresented that the editor of the limes, during whose administration this had oc oarred, was about to leave for Europe. This hay- Ing been replied to, a furious article was livened against the rival editor, which on being examined turned oat to coesiet of a string of plagiarisms from Junius, th e most abusive that could be selected. The Telegraph and Courier was formerly reenti used aa attacking the private character of Commodore Lushington—for havicg given up his paper 1 The past fortnight has been fertile in the resat% of coorta.martial. Asedstant-Sorgeon Kennedy, filth Foot. has been dismissed the service, and mast ustly, becaus e be considered it beneath him to attend the wives an d children of the soldiers of the regiment—aehLng disobedi ence of orders to geese inhumanity ! Four enters, enge et d principals Or seconds in a duel at Sandy,—L , eu t. Litchfield, and Ensigns White, Smith, and fluxham,—hoes been sec. teemed to dismimal : the last-named has been perdsned— the others removed from the service fir baying tak e . the field am principals or seconds while under arrest. Th e quarrel arose from the use of some violent and item. per language in reference to the commanding dam, Major Troup, at mew. Some months sines a young cavalry officer of high connexions stated that he had come to India a passenger with a Miss --, and that they had lived as man and wife on the voyage, without the ceremony of marriage. The corps to which he li e .l. meo l having been moved to a new station, the lady in qu q . lion was found residing in the fam !y of the commit officer : the slander, having got abroad, was irguired into when the slanderer admitted it was a pure fabrication. He was offered the option of standing a court-martial or retiring from the army, end adopted the latt er a l. ternative. Being in no hurry to quit India, his father —an officer of rank in the Queen's service, is said to have ad. dressed the Commander-in-Chief of India, and conarnealer of the station, appealing to their friendship and cumpassioa in favour of his son, who was enabled by this means to with draw his resignation and return to his duties, to the are disgust of every hunourablentioded man in the service. It now begins to be believed amongst us that no man, however great a blackguard, an 1 a grea-er than the wretch referred to can scarcely be imagined, will lose his commision in India it ho only have iolluenceenough at hom e . Oa the present occasion we feel satisfied Sir C. Napier has not had the case fully before hint: b has hitherto stood exempt from the suspicion of being moved by influence, or tolerant of ungentlemanly or tut. soliterlike bearing. Lieutenant Melvin ' cf the fedi. n navy, ban been sentenced to be dismissed for drunkenette. An offii.er belonging to the Bengal service hes been co in . pilled to resign the service for having rent in chirps fox Sing expenses on a tour of duty it turned out he had never undertaken. We take the following• paragraph from the Colcieta Englishman of the 20th of Sept.: A priests letter from London mentions that Sir Charles Napier's friends have written to him to seek a reeonciliati,n with the lioveroor-General, believing the latter to rie in the right. They cannot yet know that the breach lit, hem gradually widening, nor that the last of the Gwernor.Geaa. rare letters of which the pubic have any kin-'sledge, is so expressed that those who have seen it declare reconciliation impossible. The same letter coo firms what we published months back, that Sir William Doom is considered sure to be Sir Charles Napier's sueeerenr, the Duke having overly declared in his favour. Certainly Sir Willem might consider himself ill-used if he were again to be passed over. SHIKARPORE. The subjoined extract from a letter from Shiksr pore, dated the 7th of Sept., is of interest : We are improving the cantonment wonderfully ; we have planted both sides of every road with fine forest sew, and have opened a nullah which colve)s abundszce of water all through camp to water them and the private garden. of all officers who have made them in their compound., from the main canal, when filled by the rise of the Indus ; it is now in full operation, and certainly servos to mliigate the fearful heat.
