THE OVERLAND MAIL. INDIA. The following is taken from the _Englishman's IV eekly Mail ; The Lieutenant-Governor of the North West Provinces has, we hear, applied to the supreme go vernment for some manifestation of his intentions with regard to a suitable residence at Allahabad. Our Singapore papers up to the 25th of Septem ber have been duly received, but there is little news of importance in them. Specimens of cotton pro nounced to be of very superior quality have been forwarded home from Sarawak, and we likewise hear that several remarkably fine samples have been produced on the Jahore coast. The Dutch are gradually annexing the whole of the eastern coast. of Sumatra. A most disastrous cyclone has swept over Macao, Whampoa, and Canton, attended with great loss of lives and injury to the shipping; 10,000 lives are reported to have been lost round Canton a!one. An Influential meeting of the inhabitants of Bom bay was held on the 17th for the purpose of con sidering the beat means of assisting to alleviate the present distress amongst the mill-workers of Lan cashire. The following is a summary of Madras news to Oct. 14 : Public affairs are progressing quietly but satis factorily, especially w i t h re f erence to fi nanc e, wh i ch promises fully t o rea li ze M r. L a i ng ' s sangu ine an ticipations, notwith stan di ng t h e omi nous pred i ct ions of Sir Cha r l es W oo d , whose un p o pularity in this country g rows apace . With cash balances in the Treasury almost touching twenty millions sterling, and a reven ue r i s i ng in every important branch, India presents an aspect more flourishing than any worn by her during a great many year s p ast, and for the improvement she is largely indebted to the able financier whom Sir Charles has driven from his post, an obligation which is acknowledged on all sides out here, both 'oy Enropeafis and natives. Lord Elgin's health ass lately caused some anxiety, it being said tha the Indian climate does not suit his constltution. His early resignation of the -viceroyalty has even been spoken of, but there happily does not seem to be any good foundation for that rep or t . H is lordship recently meditated a v isit to Madras and the Neilgherries, but press of business at Calcutta compelled him abruptly to alter his intenticn, and be will now remain there until after the new year, when he pro ceeds to Simla for the hot season. Between this and then it proposed to get through a good deal of legislative work. Politically speaking, the fortnight has been barren of material incidents, but the North Eastern frontier of Bengal still continues in disturbed state, and apprehensions are enter tained of matters growing worse rather than better, unless measures of repression more vigorous and severe than those adopted are had recourse to. His Excellency the Governor has left the hills, en route to the Western coast, where he will embark at Beypore for the purpose of inspecting the Paum bem Passage, with reference to the further improve ment of navigation through it for vessels of heavy burthen, in pursuance of the recommendation of the House of Commons Committee. He will afterwards probably visit Travancore and Cochin, and return to Madras about the beginning of November. CHINA. The Overland China Mail, in its summary news, says : " The London mail of Aug. 11th arrived here on the 21st inst. During the past fortnight nothing has been seen or heard of the rebels in the vicinity of Shanghae. The scattered bands of marauders which appeared in the neighbourhood of the city a few weeks ago seem to have fallen back upon the main body ; but no intelligence has been obtained regarding the re cent movements of the rebels, or-kow they propose to employ themselves during the winter. The views entertained by her Majesty's Government on the Taeping question and the general defence of our property in China, have afforded satisfaction to foreign residents in the treaty ports; very few, if any, of our people desire that measures should be pushed to greater extremities. It is not felt by any man of ordinary prudence that we are at all called upon to crush the rebellion, any more than we are called upon to give the rebels possession of Shang hae. As a matter of policy, the utter annihilation of the rebellion by foreign arms is not to be recom mended. In the present conjuncture of affairs, where, by English and French force, the Taepings are confined and obstructed, our importance and value in the cause of law and order cannot be over looked; it might, and no doubt would, alter our footing in China were there no insurgent forces to repress, and no foreign armaments in the ports and riven of this empire. " The employment of European officers and the acquisition of foreign gunboats by the Imperial go vernment introduces a new element into the old conservative administration of China, and is, though a hopeful feature, not free from the suspicion of con taining the probable germs of future complications. " From Peking we learn that everything is quiet, and that cholera is abating. There is no news of importance from the three northern ports. The Forts on the Yang-tsze River continue to prosper. "At Shanghae, a general meeting of the land renters was held on the Bth inst., her British Ma jesty's Senior Consul in the chair. The object of this meeting was to propose measures for the better administration of the affairs of the settlement. " All is quiet at Ningpo. An incident occurred there about a fortnight ago that might have led to trouble and disturbance. It appears the French steamer Deroulede, then stationed off Yu Yaou, moved a mile or two higher up the river to join a flotilla of Cantonese lorchas and other craft which had been posted in a certain bend of the river for purposes of strategy and observation. The officer in command of the French vessel desired this flo tilla to go a few miles higher up. The Cantonese replied that they did not like the proposal, but ulti mately, after much squabbling, they obeyed. Two days later they received an order from the same officer to proceed six miles further up the river. They refused most decidedly to comply with such an order, on the ground that it would place them in too close contact with the Taepings, who were strong in that quarter. Active French steps were adopted to enforce compliance ; the Cantonese resented those steps so far as to fire upon the French vessel and kill two men, wounding a third. The officer in command, Captain Marolus, was also slightly touched_ in the leg by a couple of small shots. result of like a regular fight then followed, the of ' w hich was that 600 Cantonese deserted to the rebels, who ' are in the vicinity of Shang-yu. H.M.S. Encounter h for the h ealth of her happened to be at the Islands crew when this wretched affair took place, but her captain (Roderick Dew) lost no lime in takin g t j French commandernharY up, particularly as the the Derouled e , kavin o y eme down to Ningpo with itself, after an this Yaou to take care of TWWS of this affair reacheledf s had been created. The private letters, a n d, as usual haeghae by means of P an ‘v d as exaggerated, so much so that the Renne t , a Fren c h gun b oat we re at once despatched to Ningpo. On arriving there they were ordered back, not beirgo.re quired . The subject, however, is not a trifiing l consequen ces might have been disastrounse'a the b eca use a French officer must do bu s i ness in bl u a d a w l n l way, regardless as w ell as f orgetful of what theOc°lls e quences may be. Still our interests will safer and our past labour be destroyed by a few blunders like the present. The Chinese dislike the French c verev here, and not without reason!' CHINA COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. The market for imports is firm both in the north south, and there does not seem to be ranch in to Fn ye ulat e. Sales of cotton goods in Tien-tsin had been extensive before the rise in home prices reached that port. The shipment of raw cotton from Canton to England continues, and prices have receded. In exports, large supp lies of teas are arriving in Shanghae and Canton, but without find ing ready sale, as the prices demanded by teamen are excessive. The new greens were fast arriving in Kinkiang. Iu Fuhehau the transactions have ioaell la rge, and a fair business done at Amoy. The clination amount of tonnage now in China is enormous, and little offering either on freight or charter. AUSTRALIA. Our advices from Melbourne come down to Sept. 25. The following are the matters of interest con tained in them:— Parliament, which stood prorogued to the 29th insttlnt, is still further prorogued to the 7th of November, when it is to meet for the despatch of business. There is, consequently, little politi cal news this month, and that little not of a very exciting kind, if we except one or two of the more striking incidents. His Excellency, it is said, has been informed of an extension of his term of office, to which nobody objects. But the despatches are also said to convey an intimation of the disallowance of the Governor's Salary Reduction Bill, which has excited intense dissatisfaction. _ The working of the New Land Act is also another exception to the general dulness in politics. The first batch of selections under it commences on the 13th of this month, and great complaints have been made of more than their fair share of the land having fallen into the hands of the squatters. The Real Property Act should be put into force next month. But there seems to be a growing sus picion of its not being intended to give this fair play. Mr. M'Kinlay and party have crossed the con tinent, and were first heard of, after this, in Queensland, all well. They are now on their way hither, and will proceed hence to Adelaide, whence they set out. This is the third party now that has crossed the continent. Mr. Stuart and party are still out, but we may expect to hear of them shortly. THE GOLDFIELDS.—Last month we had to attri bute the falling off in the receipts of gold from our auriferous districts to the long continuance of heavy rains, which completely prevented alluvial opera tions from being carried on. The cessation of wet weather has riot, however, effected any material improvement in the yield of gold, and we are still much behind last year. AMERICA. QUEENSTOWN, WEDNESDAY. The Inman steamer Kangaroo has arrived from New York with advices to the Ist November. The following is the New York Conservative platform : " Resolved,—That the Democracy of New York, waiving the expression of their views upon questions not rendered imperative by the imperilled condition of their country, hereby declare,— " 1. That they will continue to render the Government their sincere and united support in the use of all legitimate means to suppress the rebellion and restore the Union as it was, and maintain the Constitution as it is, believing that that sacred instrument, founded in wisdom by our fathers, clothed the constituted authorities with full power to ac complish such purpose. " 2. That by the following resolution, unanimously passed by Congress in July, 1861, the Government was pledged to the policy inculcated therein, and which cannot be departed from without violation of public faith, viz.:— " ' Resolved,—That the present deplorable civil war has been forced upon the country by the disunionists of the Southern States, now in arms against the Constitutional Government, and in arms around the capital; that in this national emergency Congress, banishing all feelings of mere passion or resentment, will recollect only its duty to the whole country ; that this war is not waged, on their part, in any spirit of oppression or for any purpose of conquest or sub- jugation, or purpose of overthrowing or interfering with the rights or established institutions of those States, but to de fend and maintain the suprema3y of the constitution, and to preserve the Union, with all the dignity, equality, and rights of the several States unimpaired, and that as soon as these objects are accom, lished the war ought to cease.' " 3. That we, having confidence in the loyalty of the citizens of the State of New York, reiterate the sentiments heretefore expressed by the Democratic party—that the illegal and unconstitutional arrests and imprisonments of citizens of this State are without the justification of neces sity, and we denounce such arrests as a usurpation and a crime, and that the freedom of the press, equally protected by the Constitution, ought to be maintained. "4. That we are willing to act in the coming election with any class of loyal citizens who agree with us in the principles herein expressed ; that we hereby invite the 00-operation of all citizens in giving the most emphatic ex pression to these principles by supporting the ticket nomi. nated by this Convention." The following are the Conservative nominations For Governor—Horatio Seymour, of Oneida County. For Lieut.-Governor—D. R. Floyd Jones, of Queen's, For Canal Commissioner—William I. Skinner, of Her• kimer. For Inspector of State Prisons—Gaylord J. Clarke, o, Niagara. For Clerk of Court of Appeals—Frederick A. Tall madge, of Naw York. The Republican State ticket is as follows : For Governor—James S. Wadsworth. For Lieut.-Governor—Lyman Tremain. For Canal Commissioner—Oliver Ladue. For Inspector of State Prisons—Andreas Willman. For Clerk of the Court of Appeals—Charles Hughes. The following is the latest despatch from the army of the Potomac : "Head-quarters, Army Potomac, Oct. 31, Evening. "In the moving of an army like this too much caution cannot be exercised by all lovers of the Union in giving any information the knowledge of which would be of service to the enemy. The location of divisions or corps by the fact of their having moved, although seeming ot no importance to the people of the North, is of vast benefit to the enemy and might be the instrument of unnecessarily sacrificing thouaands of lives and defeating the beat disciplined army in this country. Newspapers are the medium by which the rebels obtain many facts valuable to them, and those who have the control of them cannot be too cautious at the pre sent time. Giving information as to the enemy's position and movements is not objectionable. "Stuart, with from 1,500 to 2,000 cavalry, came in to day from the Union to Mortville, and attacked a small force of our cavalry, driving them towards Aldie. " The old Pennsylvanian regiments are to be filled up at once with draught men. The order has been issued, and it is to be hoped that other States will follow this excellent example. It should be a matter of pride with every State not to send the greatest number of regiments to the field, but to keep those already in service in the most efficient condition. This can only be done by filling up the old regiments." The Richmond papers, received to-day, announce the arrival in that city of General Bragg and staff. " Washington, Oct. 31. " Information has reached here from Perryville, Clark county, Virginia, on the other side of the Blne-ridge, up to yesterday. There was going on in that vicinity an appa rently extensive movement of rebel troops, some proceed ing on the Front Royal-road, any others down toward Cas tleman-ferry and Thomandall springs. General Jackson was then at Perryville. His trcops there are without bag-. gage, and those moving on the Front Royal-road also seemed to have no baggage with them. There was a small body of rebel troops at Charlestown day before yesterday." General Burnside has succeeded in effecting a junction with Sigel. The Washington Star, of the 30th, says :-- " General Burnside has already advanced down along the eastern base of the Blue Ridge, and formed a practical junction with General Sigel, their lines of pickets joining. The withdrawal of Walker's rebel forces from Upper ville was doubtless in consequence of the rapidity o f General Burnside's movement in that direction. We do not believe he has gone in the direction of Snickerville, as in that event he would be rushing into the jaws of M'ClellAn's army ; but rather across the ridgelock of Up perville, over the Alexandria and Winchester turnpike. The rebels continue to occupy the bridge between Harper's Ferry and Winchester, on which Lee posted his army after crossing into Virginia. We believe he is moving as fast as he ean, as Burnside and Fitz-John Porter have already de feated his probable scheme of attempting to surprise Sigel. To cover it promptly he will have to move back towards Richmond." In Missouri a terrible accident d 10 Confederate General M‘Neil has cause prisoners has taken The cause of the of war t o b e s h o t a t P a l m y ra . place. given by th e Palmyra (Missouri) Courier : tragedy and the particulars of the execution are ouri) " When thk rebels entered Palymra, an old resident of the p l ace, Andrew Allsraan by name, mysteriously disap peared, and it was suppsed he was murdered. When Gemara). Wlsteil returned to Palmyra, after that event, and a scertained the circumstance under which Allsman had been abducted, he caused to be issued a notice that if the missing ' 3 1941 was not returned within 10 days he would retaliate upon the rebel prisoners in his hands. The 10 days elaps ed and na tidings came o f t h e man . Th e 10th day expired .with last Friday. O n that day 10 rebel prisoners, alread y in custody, were selected to pay, with their lives, the pe n lty demanded.

Most of them received the announcement with com posure or indifference. The Rev. James S. Green, of this city, remained with them during that night, as their spiH tual adviser, endeavouring to prepare them for their sudden entrance into the presence of their Maker. A little after 12 o'clock at noon the nekt day three Government waggons drove to the gaol. One contained four, and each of the others three rough board coffine. The condemned men were conducted from the prison, and seated in the waggons —one upon each coffin. A sufficient guard of soldiers ac companied them, and the cavalcade started for the fatal grounds. Proceeding east to Main-street, the cortege turned, and moved slowly southward as far as Malone's livery stable. Thence, turning east, it entered the Itannibal road, pursuing it to the residence of Col. Jas. Culbertson. There throwing down the fence, they turned northward, entering the Fair Ground (half-a-mile east of the town), on the west side, and, driving within the circular amphi theatrical ring, paused for the final consummation of the scene. The ten coffins were removed from the waggons and placed in a row, six or eight feet apart, forming a lino north and south about 15 paces east of the central pagoda or music stand in the centre of the ring. Each coffin was placed upon the ground, with its foot west and head east. Thirty soldiers of the 2d M.S.M. were drawn up in single line, extending north and south, facing the row of coffins. This line of executioners ran immediately at the east base of the pagoda, leaving a space between them and the coffins of the 12 or 13 paces. Reserves were drawn up in line upon either flank of these executioners. The arrangements com pleted, the doomed men knelt upon the grass between their coffins and the soldiers, while the Rev. R. M. Rhoades offered up a prayer. At the conclusion of this, each pri soner took his seat upon the foot of his coffin, facing the muskets which in a few minutes were to launch them into eternity. They were nearly all firm and undaunted. Two or three only showed signs of trepidation. The most noted of the ten was Capt. Thomas A. Sidner, of Monroe county. He was now elegantly attired in a suit of black broadcloth, with a white vest. A luxuriant growth of beautiful hair rolled down upon his shoulders. There was nothing especially worthy to note in the appeararce of the others. One of them, Willis Baker, of Lewis county, was proved to be a man who last year shot and killed Mr. Ezekiel Pratte, his Union neighbour, near Williamstown, in that county. All the others were rebels of lesser note. A few minutes after 1 o'clock, Col. Strachan, Provost-Marshal-General, and Rev. Mr. Rhoades shook hands with the prisoners. Two accepted bandages—the others refused. About 100 per sons gathered around the amphitheatre to see the impres sive scene. The stillness of death pervaded the place. The officer in command now stepped forward and gave the word of command— Ready! Aiml Fire! The discharges, how ever, were not made simultaneously, probably through want of a perfect previous understanding of the orders and of the time at which to fire. Two of the rebels fell backwards on their coffins and died instantly. Capt. Sidner sprang forward and fell with his head towards the soldiers, his face upwards, his hands clasped upon his breast, and the left leg drawn half-way up. He did not move again, but died immediately. He had requested his soldiers to aim at his heart, and they obeyed but too implicitly. The other seven were not killed outright, so the reserves were called in, who despatched them with their revolvers. The lifeless remains were then placed in the coffins, the lids, upon which the name of each man was writtten, were screwed on, and the direful proces sion returned to town by the route that it pursued in going. Friends claimed and took seven of the corpses. Three were buried by the military in the public cemetery. The tragedy was over." was not a mere ceremonial on his part, but that it having been his lot in life to be brought into com munication with those Who represented industrial and mercantile interests, he felt deeply and warinif the eloquence of language, the justness of thought, and the loftiness of aim which had characterised the lecture. Many most important suggestions had been made upon points which were well deserving of serious consideration in connection with any future exhibition. Topics had been introduced and clearly illustrated which were not only of the deepest interest to a country like England, at all times, but if he might be pardoned for a seeming paradox, especially at the present time, when many facts seemed to show that the commerce of the world was as yet in its infancy, and though England in many respects had an old commercial history, there was yet a new and great career before her. It was in structive to see how the metals in which this coun4 try abounded were substituting other materials in constructions of various kinds. We were in that respect in a transition state, the extent and direc tion of which could be but imperfectly compre hended ; but enough was known to indicate immense and important changes—changes which riatist, from our command of the raw material, maintain Eng land in Ole future relatively on the high bases she had hitherto occupied in the industry and the com merce of the world. (Cheers.) The Professor briefly acknowledged the compli ment amitist renewed cheers. A7TEMPTED BY MUR A DE.R AN . D SUICIDE MANIAC On the morning of Saturday last, James Sttiarti , crofter,llhsad of Aucharnie, Forgue, made a most desperate atiernpt at his own life and that of his wife, Christina Murray. ft appears that for some time hack Stuart's state of mind has teen giving great Uneasiness to his friends, and that some three months ago his condlidt was so alarming that they deemed it necessary to put him Wider the control of oto of his sons. For some weeks, how- ever, previous to Saturday he was apparently getting better, so much so that his sou l who had him in charge, with the consent of other friends, thought it safe to leave him on Thursday last. On that day, accompanied by his wife, Stuart went to and returned from Rothie station, a distance of some 16 miles. On Friday he appeared quite composed, and did some work on the croft; but it now ap pears that he had been premeditating the doing of the horrid deed on Friday s as he was observed several times sharpening an instrument like a razor, which he always endeavoured to conceal if any one approached him. On Friday night his wVe accom panied him to bed, and during the early part of the night both slept well. They were both awoke a little before 4 o'clock a.m., and talking to each other, when Stuart, seizing the razor he had pur posely concealed in the bed, made a wound first in his own throat and then in that of his wife. The other parties in the house at the time were a son-in-law and two daughters, and on Mrs. Stuart giving the alarm they were instantly with her, and after a very severe struggle succeeded in getting her out of the grasp of her maniacal husband. The neighbour hood being raised, Dr. M`Killiam, Forgue, was in• stantly sent for, who, on his arrival, sewed the wounds. We are happy to say that the wounds in neither case are expected to prove fatal ; but in the case of Mrs. Stuart her escape was very provi dential, as if the wound had been one hair's breadth further it must have proved instantly fatal.—Banf- Airs Journal. EXTENSIVE FIRES AND GREAT LOSS OF PROPE.RIY. Yesterday morning, about two o'clock, a fire of a serious character, and attended with a great loss of property, broke out in the large manufacturing premises belonging to Mr. Selig, a cabinet-maker, &c., situate at 125, St. John's-street, Clerkenwell. The discovery was made by the police-constable on the beat, whose attention was attracted by the loud and repeated barking of a dog. Thinking that a robbery was being attempted in one of the houses near induced him to make a diligent seareh, and whilst doing so he noticed'a dense mass of smoke hovering over Mr. Selig's factory, and being now satisfied that a fire was on the point of bursting forth, he gave the necessary alarm, and set about awaking the inmates of the front and adjoining houses. That was not accomplished without con siderable difficulty and loss of time, and before the• residents of Selig's dwelling-house and those ad joining could be made sensible of their impending danger a huge sheet of flame shot forth from the factory. Adjoining that building was an open timber yard in which a great amount of stock was deposited, and communicating stood the dwelling house, and on one side was the building belonging to Mr. G. Sheane, watch spring maker (No. 124), and on the other the premises belonging to Mr. T. C. Blundell, a rope and mat maker, so that it at once became ap parent that unless the conflagration could be quickly extinguished a great loss of property must ensue, and unfortunately the latter turned out as was ap prehended. Information of the disaster having been sent in sundry directions, in almost incredibly short space of time two escapes attended, as well as several manual working engines of the London Brigade, one of the parish, and the land steam-engine. This force was under the command of Capt. Shaw, the superintendent, his Grace the Duke of Sutherland, Mr. Fogo, the chief officer of the B district, Engi neers Perryer, Flinn, and other officials. Before sufficient time had elapsed to set a single engine to work the flames belched forth from every part of the factory, and were attacking with full vigour the valuable stock of timber, including rose wood veneers and other goods. The greatest excite ment was then caused throughout the neighbour hood, and the occupants of several houses hard by commenced removing their furniture and other effects, by which much property was broken and damaged by water. By direction of Captain Shaw the land steamer was set to work from an abundant supply of water, under the charge of Foreman Gerrard, whilst the other engines were pumped by a great many hired auxiliaries. Every one present exerted himself to the utmost, including the noble duke, in endea- vouring to stop the ravages of the devastating elelement, and to a considerable extent they were successful, for at one time the front house of Mr. Selig and those of Mr. Blundell and Mr. Sheane were all blazing away at the back with the greatest fury. The steam-engine at once began, by the great quantity of water it discharged into the blazing premises, to tell in a palpable man ner upon the flames, and they were arrested in a very brief period afterwards. Steam of 50lbs.pres fcolalpotwaiinngs ware was obtained in 11 minutes after lighting the fire of the boiler, and 200 gallons of water were pumped per minute in and around the burning buildings, and eventually the conflagration was ex tinguished ; but the damage done was considerable, official report fur nishedas will t b n e e haw : "No. 125, St. John-street, St. John-street-road. —Mr. S. Selig, cabinetmaker.__Factory burned out, stock in open yard destroyed, front house used seen r th b e y as a dwelling (communicating), and stock seriously damaged by f i re, &c.

Building insured in the Sun Fire-office, and the contents were insured in the Phcenix Office. " The police rendered great assistance to the fire men by keeping a large concourse of persons out of danger." Another very alarming fire broke out about the . same time as the one in Clerkenwell, in the pre mises belonging to Mr. W. Bond, a stationer, &c., carrying on business at No. 30, Cross-street, Upper street, Islington. The flames were discovered by the inmates through experiencing a dense suffocat ing sensation, and those who wore sleeping in the front room first-floor found the flooring so hot as to nearly draw the skin off their feet. Informa tion was at once sent off for the Royal Society's escapes, and for the engines, and in a short space of time two escapes, under the direction of Mr. In spector Baddeley - arrived, as well as the engines of the parish, and others belonging to the London bri gade. Plenty of water having been procured the parish engineer and the firemen of the brigade went to work in an admirable manner, but the flames had previously obtained possession of the valuable stock in trade in the shop, and also of the back rooms, but by dirt of great perseverance the fire was confined to the lower part of the building, but the damage done is very considerable, as the whole of the stock, fixtures, and other effects are nearly destroyed. The loss will fall upon the Liverpool and London Fire office. The origin of this fire is also unknown. About half-past four o'clock the same morning a fire, nearly attended with a great loss of life, hap pened in the premises belonging to Mr. J. Laivand, situated in Marshall-street, Golden -square, but let out to numerous families as a lodging-house. The police-constable on the beat in passing the house heard a loud crackling noise, evidently arising from burning wood. The officer, feeling satisfied that the house was on fire, gave an immediate alarm, when a scene of the greatest confusion ensued, for owing to many persons sleeping in the various rooms in the building, it appears miraculous that any of the residents escaped with their lives. The Royal Society's escapes promptly attended, as well as the engines of the London brigade, and also one of the land steamers. Owing to the indefatigable exertions of the brigade under Mr. Staples, the foreman of the C district, tbe fire was extinguished, but the lower part of the building was burnt out, and the upper part damaged by heat and water, besides the breakage of the furniture. Fortunately the whole of the ff su arers escaped, but they were all uninsured. Snow has fallen pretty genera lly all over Ireland. In the counties of Roscommon Galway, and Leitrim there have Leen heavy falls, and the same report comes from the neighbourhood of Belfast. Stooks of corn, it is stated, may be seen embedded in the snow in some places. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. (From New York Shipping and Comma cial List, Nov. 1.) The more promising aspect of military affairs continues to exert a very favourable influence in monetary and com mercial circles, and a good feeling obtains in nearly every department of trade. There has been very little excite ment during the past three days, and the week promises to close as quiet as in former years, when civil wars within the limits of the Young Republic were reckoned among the things not possible. Military matters have been freely discussed, and the general opinion is that important events in connexion therewith are not far remote. The pernicious effects of the greatly exaggerated reports in regard to the Government expenditure during the past year and a half, which have been so freely circulated for political purposes by certain newspapers which have ren dered themselves conspicuous by their long continued mali cious misrepresentations of every act and measure of the last Congress and of the present Administration, can scarcely be over estimated. Their reiterated asseverations that the expenses of the Government are fully 2,000,000 dole per day, and that the national indebtedness has been swelled to nearly or quite 2,ooo,ooo,ooo—combined with the fact that these statements have not been authoritatively denied — have implanted a quite general belief on the part of the public, that the current expenses of the Government are vastly in excess of what the public had been led to expect, and that the national debt has increased to a fabulous amount. In view of these facts we extract from the last circular of Messrs.

KING'S COLLEGE.- THE LATE EXHIBITION. Last night Professor Leoni Levi, LL.D., gave the introductory lecture of a course on the Commerce of the Countries represented at the International Ex hibition, in one of the lecture rooms of this institu tion. Earl Granville was announced to take the chair on the occasion, but his lordship sent an apo logy for absence on account of indisposition, and Dr. JELF, the Principal, stated that the Chan cellor of the Exchequer had, at a very short notice, consented to preside. Sir C. W. Dilke, Mr. Lo Neve Forster, and other gentlemen connected with the Society of Arts and the Exhibition were present. The PROFESSOR gave a clear and succinct history of toe origin, history, and progress of these exhibi tions during the last 100 years, till they culminated in this country in that of 1851, which owed so much of its success to the late Prince Consort, whose la mented death had interposed so many obstacles to the success and completeness of that just closed. The pe culiarity of these exhibitions was that they not only exhibited the productions of different countries, but as it were photographed the people of the vari ous regions and climates represented by these insti tutions. They enabled us to form an accurate idea of the precise stage of development at which they had arrived in industry, science, and art, and to ::ee at a glance in what elass of materials and produc tions they had an excess over their own powers of consumption, and consequently had a surplus for profitable exchange with other countries. Mr. Levi discussed at some length the questions of the best classification of materials and works exhibited, and the propriety of awarding medals and honourable mentions to successful exhibitors. For reasons which lay on the surface this country and its colo nies took the most conspicuous place for the num ber, variety, and excellence of the articles exhibited in every class, and especially in textile fabrics, ma chinery, and ores. In silk manufacture we had made great progress within the last 10 years, and with good material and competent workmen we might within the next 10 years produce much bet ter goods than the French. France, our nearest neighbour, c ame next, and then L.'llowed Prussia and Austria. G ermany as b ne d to n i t v os i i s hd i ae o rv n e s n , ag n i et d : ire h n pibo future l nl i yo t nu w en o df u ae vp d oa ur b rt able state, came well out in th e competition, and its a whole suffered from e aimtnse improvement politicalp r ove Italy, msue fine art court was thronged from the first day to the last. After remarking upon the immense stimulus which these exhibitions imparted to invention, and expressing a hope that in the interests of peace and a better understanding between nations there would before another exhibition took place be a universal system of weights and measures, of notation for the barometer and thermometer, and a uniform decimal system, the learned professor concluded by express ing a hope that we should not rest content with the mere material results of such exhibitions, but look upon them as so many steps in the great ladder— so many links in the grea t chain which bound men and nations together , and that through them we might rise higher, and realise the great idea that in truth and deed we are the childr en of one father, and learn to dwell together in peace. (Hear.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER,in thank ing the lecturer for his admirable and eloquent lec ture, said it was hardly necessary to do so after the hearty and spontaneous tribute which had been paid by the audience; hut in giving articulate expression to his and to their gratification, he could say that it POLICE INIELLIGENCE.—Nov. 13. CLERKENWELL. —THE LATE ATTEMPTED MURDER AND GAROTTE ROBBERY IN THE CITY ROAD.—Thomas Redshaw, James Dixon, and Char lotte Redahaw, were placed at the bar before Mr. D'Eyncou‘ t, charged with murderously assaulting William Beamish, postman, in the City-road, and stealing from him a silver watch chain, on the 20th of September last. The facts of the case have already appeared in this journal. Mr. Edward Syson, surgeon, of 274, City-road, said—On the 20th of September,the prosecutor was brought to my surgery between ten and eleven at night. He was one mass of blood and mud. His coat was covered and all his hair was matted to gether with blood. He was bleeding from several wounds. I sponged his face, and found several wounds on the forehead. There were so many wounds on the head, forehead, and face that I did not count them ; in fact, I could not unless his head had been shaved_ I only attended to those that were most dangerous, and I sent him to the hospital. The wounded man appeared to be sober, and he was quite sensible. lam sure from his ap pearance that he was sober. He said he had lost a piece of his watch chain. The prisoner Redshaw said they should reserve their defence ; but the prisoner Dixon said that he should like to have the doctor from the hospital in attendance, and, further, his cross-examination taken down ; but as neither of these were done, he should certainly reserve his defence. Mr. D'Eyncourt fully committed the prisoners to Newgate for trial. MARYLEBONE.—THE ALLEGED FRAUD UPON THE MEDICAL PROFESSION IN COLLECTING SUB SCRIPTIONS FOR MRS. BRENT.—A fashionably attired person, who gave the name of Alfred John Davis, aged 28, residing at 13, Grenville-street, St. Pancras, describing himself as a collector, was brought up by William Hewett and Geo. Rogers, constables of the Mendicity Society, charged with obtaining at 5, Henrietta-street, on the sth instant, from Mr. W. Adams the sum of L 1 ls. under false pretences. Mr. Tate, solicitor, of Bucklersbury, City, ap peared to prosecute ; and Mr. Vaughan defended the prisoner. Mr. Adams said—l am in the medical profession, and reside at 5, Henrietta-street, Cavendish-square. On Saturday last prisoner called on me and said he had come to solicit subscriptions on behalf of Mrs. Brent. the widow of the late deputy-coroner to the late Mr. Wakley. He stated he was a clerk in the Lancet office, and that he had been clerk to the late Mr. Brent. After a little conversation he described the distress in which Mrs. Brent had been left by the death of her husband, and that he had called by the authority of Dr. Wakley, who had given him power to make use of his name to me. A num ber of other medical gentlemen, he said, had given f their subscriptions and names for the purpose o raising a fund for Mrs. Brent, to get her an an nuity, or else to get her into the Royal Medical Be nevolent College. In case of the amount of the subscription falling short for the sum required, Mr. Wakley with great liberality had promised a large sum of money, at least £5O, to purchase the an nuity. A long list of names was produced, contain ing at least 60 or 70 names, at a guess, of medical gentlemen. There were three columns of names, varying in amount from ss. to 10s., and up to three guineas. On the faith of these representations I gave the prisoner a guinea, not thinking that any thing fraudulent was being perpetrated. I was not aware that any fraud had been going on till I saw the report in the papers of an application at Bow street upon this subject. Cross-examined by Mr.Vaughan—He told me Dr. Wakley had sent him, and he had come from the Lancet office soliciting subscriptions for Mrs. Brent. He did not say Mrs. Brent had sent him. I gave him a guinea for the fund, as he represented himself as having come by the authority of Mr. Wakley. In the list of signatures I saw the name of John Probert, and prisoner pointed out his name, and mentioned that he would do what he could to get the widow of Mr. Brent into the Medical Bene volent College. Prisoner did not mention to whom the money was to be paid. I was shown by the pri soner an advertisement which he had cut from the Lancet, as he (prisoner) said, representing himself as a collector to the fund. I did not notice the name of Dr. Cross, Spring-gardens. Prisoner told me he was clerk at the Lancet office, and that he had been long in the service of Mr. Brent, and, as I under stood, up to the time of Mr. Brent's death. lam not aware of my own knowledge whether he was a clerk in the office or not. lam not aware that he is a clerk in Mr. Laurence's office. I gave the money on the faith of his own representation that he had been clerk to Mr. Brent. I know nothing about prisoner being on intimate terms with Dr. Wakley. Re-examined by Mr. Tate—Dr. Wakley's name was represented to me, and it was on his represen t ttion that 1 gave the guinea. Mr. Vaughan requested, by his worship's permis sion, to put another question or two. Mr. Mansfield assented. Mr. Vaughan—Was Dr. Wakley's name men tioned to you by the prisoner Mr. Adams—lt was; and on such representation I gave him (prisoner) the guinea. The late coroner, Mr. Wakley, he said had not done anything for the family of Mr. Brent ; but the present Dr. Wakley and his family were now assisting to get up this fund. Dr. James Goodchild Wakley, who gave his address, 1, Bedford-street, Strand, deposed—On F.iday afternoon last Mr. Laurence, of Devon shire-street, called upon me about a subscription which he said was being got up for Mrs. Brent, and that he (the person collecting) had come from the Lancet office. He said he had called concerning an individual who had called on him (Mr. Lau rence). I never authorised my name to be made use of to raise subscriptions for Mrs. Brent, neither has any of my family given any authority. Mr. Mansfield—Do you know the prisoner P Dr. Wakley—He was clerk in my father's office, in the name of Williams; and independent of the name of Davis, which he now gives, he has gone in the name of Dray. • Mr. Mansfield—Has he any authority to make use of your name in collecting these subscriptions? Dr. Wakley—No, Sir, not at all. Mr. Mansfield—Was he in Mr. Wakley's office ? Dr. Wakley—He was in the Lancet office about two years. Mr. Mansfield—ls be there now ? Dr. Wakley—lle was discharged for misappro priating money. Mr. Mansfield—How long was he in the office ? Dr. Wakley—About two 3 ears. Dr. Wakley continued—l have had a good. deal of inconvenience from these alleged subfcererfatmionn! being got up for Mrs. Brent. I have. haswriti and nications upon the subject, n profession, bothi verbally, from members of the medicalut to Bow-street in consequence of which we Police-eotttta I have nothing whatever to do with the subscription. I paid for Mr. Brent's funeral, And gave his widow £5 for her mournin; apparel, And our family has also given the late Mr. lit-.lnt's mother an annuity of 108. per week for her life. At this stage of the proceedings Mr. Tate asked for a remand, when Mr. Vaughan said he objected to such a course. She (Mrs. Brent) was left in great distress, and authorised the prisoner to collect subscriptions for her. The late deputy-coroner s Mr. Brent, had held a very high position in society, and parties who knew her were coming forward with subscrip tion for her benefit. The name of Mr. Probert has been mentioned as having gotten a subscription from him, but he (the learned gentleman) was given to understand that Mr. Probert knew all the facts. Mrs. Brent is here now, and she will tell you that all the money which prisoner had received, as al leged, was paid over to her. Mr. Adams has mis understood the prisoner when he says he is in the service of Mr. Wakley. He certainly was in the service of Mr. Wakley. Mr. Tate—Before you go any further, Mr. Vaughan, if the remand is not acceded to, I shall have to put in letters and speak about family mat ters, which Ido not wish at present. I may inform your worship that Mrs. Brent, for whom this sub scription is surreptitiously got up. had only been married to the late Mr. Brent for a few months, and cannot, as stated, have been left in very distressed circumstances, It is not alone on the ground of her alleged distress that we appear to-day, but it is on account of the prisoner having used Mr. Wakley's name without his authority. Mr. Mansfield observed that it would be an of fence to get money by using Mr. Wakley's name without his consent ; for Mr. Waaley's name is well known, whereas Mr. Brent's name might not have been known to all the gentlemen in the medical pro fession, and unless knowing him, or being familiar with his name, it is not likely that medical men would give a farthing. William Hewitt said—l am an officer belonging to the Mendicity Society, and from instructions 1 received from Captain Wood and Mr. Horeford I looked after the prisoner, I saw him this morning at Bow-street. I said to him, "Mr. Davis, I be lieve Ps' He said " Yes, it is." I then said I wanted him for obtaining a guinea from Mr. Adams, of Hen rietta-street, under false and fraudulent pretences. He (prisoner) said, " How can you call it false ?" I said to prisoner, " I have told you the charge; I must take you into custody." On the way to the station-house he said, " This is a conspiracy to get up them Wakleys to injure me, because I sent a threatening letter the other day as to what I would do with him." Prisoner—l said to you that I bad threatened him with an action at law on account of what Mr. Conic?, the magistrate at Bow-street, had said the other day: Mr. Vaughan, who had some trouble to keep his client quiet, and at this period threatening to throw up his case if be did not curb his temper, cross-examined last witness, who replied. Prisoner said he had sent a threatening letter as to what he would do for him. He never said any thing to him (witness) about an action. He said, " What appears in the paper this morning will make me all right." At this stage of the proceedings Mr. Mansfield said, without expressing any opinion, he should re mand the case for a week, but allowed: the prisoner to go at large on his own recognisance. LAMBETH.—THE RIGHT OF A PUBLICAN TO ENTERTAIN HIS FRIENDS.—Mr. Joseph Richard son, proprietor of the Montpelier tavern, Queen's road, Peckham, appeared before the Hon. G. C. Norton, to answer a summons charging him with keeping his own house open for the, sale of wine, spirits, beer, &c., between the hours of 12 o'clock on the night of Saturday, the Ist inst., and one o'clock in the afternoon of Sunday the 2d. Inspector Richard Frost, of the P division of police, deposed that at two o'clock in the morning of Sunday, the 2d inst., his attention was called to a light in the house of the defendant, and on knocking at the door he was admitt ed. On g oin g into the bar-parlour he found the defendant there and four other persons, and the person who opened the door for him, and who had joined them, mak ing the fifth. There were six glasses on the table containing spirits and water, and the defendant said that three of those present were lodgers, and the other two his•friends. In cross-examination, by the defendant's solici tor, Mr. Frost admitted that the bar-parlour where he found the defendant and his friends was a private apartment, and not a p;,:pe where ordi nary customers were admitted, and than en his call ing nothing was going on in any other pare of the house. Police-constable 126 P corroborated the testi mony of his inspector, and said that soon after their visit to the house he saw some persons come out of the house of the defendant, two first and three after wards. In reply to the magistrate, The witness said that the first two came out in about five minutes, and the other three in about eight minutes after Mr. Frost's visit; and this was the whole of the evidence in support of the com plaint. For the defence, Mr. John Seymour, a dentist, who gave his address 11, Victoria -terrace, Leam ington, Warwickshire, was here called, and said that on Saturday night, the Ist inst., he was at the house of Mr. Graham, a friend of his, on Peckham rye, and having to pay a professional visit to the house of Mr. Richardson, the defendant, he took his friend Mr. Graham with him. Mr. Richardson being from home at the time, Mrs. Richardson re quested that they would atop for her husband's re turn. They did so, and Mr. Richardson ultimately returned with three friends, and they all retired into the private bar-parlour where the inspector found them. They were all treated by the defend ant, and it was his (Mr. Seymour's) intention to have slept in the house, and arrangements were made for that purpose, but after the police being there he made up his mind not to stop, and went to take a bed at the house of Mr Graham. Mr. Graham, an accountant, corroborated the evidence of his friend Mr. Seymour; and the bar man who had waited on the parties deposed to not receiving any money for what had been supplied. On hearing this Mr. Norton dismissed the com plaint. The defendant's attorney complained of the hard ship of his client being taken away from his busi nes on such a complaint, and hoped his worship would consider it such a case as to award expenses to Mr. Richardson. Mr. Norton observed that, considering the hour, he did not think the inspector could do less than report the circumstances, and, therefore, would not say anything about expenses. SOUTHWARK. —HORRIBLE CRUELTY TO AN INFANT BY ITS MOTHER.—Mary Ann Stanley, a decent -looking woman, iar advanced in pregnancy, was brought before Mr. Burcham by Mr. Townson, one of the relieving officers of St. George's, South wark, charged with cruelly neglecting to provide sufficient food and necessaries and paying proper attention to her male infant, thereby causing it to be in a dangerous state. Mr. Townson, on being sworn, said—Yesterday afternoon, about 1 o'clock, I received such informa tion as induced me to go to 96, Blackfriars-road, and in the top back room I found lying on a bed in a state of nudity, by itself, a male infant. There was no one in the room,and it was moaning bitterly. The child was in a filthy, emaciated state, appa rently dying. I saw a dirty chemise and some cloth ing at the end of the bed, and on examining the room I perceived some bread and butter, and things seemed to be comfortable for poor people. Mr. Burcham—Was the child quiet when you entered the room Mr. Townson—lt was moaning, Sir. It was so weak and emaciated that it had no power to cry. Mr. Burch.tm—Was the child cold ? Witness—Yes, Sir, very cold, and had it been left in that state many hours it must have perished. The lower extremities were wasted away not larger than a new-born infant. I immediately went for assistance, and on my return to the room I found the prisoner lying on the bed drunk and endeavour ing to force dry bread into the mouth. I had the prisoner removed in custody, and took the poor in fant immediately to the workhouse. Mr. Burcham—ls the prisoner a married woman Witness—She is not, sir, but she has been living with a man for some time, by whom she is now preg nant. Mr. Burcham—How old is the child ? Witness—The prisoner told ale it is one year and eight months old. - Mr. Robert Gibson Brown, M.R.C.S., said—l am surgeon at St. George's Workhouse. On the pre vious afternoon the infant was brought into the house, and I immediately attended to it. On exa • mination I found it to be in a very emaciated con. dition, and so weak that it could not open its mouth . Mr. Burcham—Do you know by what th a t h as been caused ? W being ih av e no doubt by gross neglect, properly fed and attended t o . and no Mr. Diekes ne s s (the second clerk)—ls it suffering from any disease? Witness—Yes, from water on the brain, and from diseased lungs. Mr. Bureham—Did you b o serve whether the child was able to take food p Witness—l did not P but the nurse whom I in structed to attend to it told me that it ate ravenously. I had it prop er l y cleaned and clothed, and a remark able improvement is vi • sible since yesterday. Mr. Burcham • do not think it necessary to take any further evidence from you to-day, as I shall re mand the prisoner after hearing other evidence, and on a future day you will be able to speak more positive as to the state of the child. Lydia Holloway was next called, and said.—l am a marr l,tld woman, and reside in the next room to the isoner at 96, Blackfriars-road. The day befor e I wa s t o ld that the prisoner had a child, pr yesterday but I never saw it unfit Yesterday, although I have heard it cry and the mother swearing at it. Yester day morning, about half-past g i the prisoner went out without her baby. About 11 o'plock I heard it moaning in a dreadful manner , and thi_nking that it ormed the was dying, I went down stairs and ink'. landlord. Wereturned upstairs and pushed the door open, when I saw the baby lying on the heti, covered with an old coat. I removed that and found it was naked and horribly emaciated, and filthy in the extreme. It had an old piece of carpet under it„ also wet and filthy. I thought, from its ghastly look,. that the child was dying, consequently I called in a neighbour, and sent to inform Mr. Townson at the workhouse. Margaret Page, a nurse at St. George's Work house, here produced the infant, wrapped up in warm clothing. On the latter being removed, the frightful state of the child caused considevable sen sation in court. Its extremities were nothing but skin and bone, and the skin much inflamed. upper part of the body was very mu ch emaci The ,ated, and its arms were nearly doubled with weaknCes• It had a very intelligent countenance, but the head was large, indicating that water was on the brain.. Witness, on being sworn, said—The child wasi brougilt to me at the workhouse on •Wednesdar afternoon. By the doctor's directions I washed it* carefully, put on soma warm clothing, and gave it some milk and arrowroot, which it ate ravenously. I have fed it about every two hours since, and it re ceives th 9 food eagerly. There is no unwillingness on the part of the child to eat, and it improves wonderfully. aken any ill; Prisoner here exelaimed—The child is always eating in a very eage r m anner, es p eciall y since June last, when he w".as Mr. Burcham—Had Yo r.l doctor to attend it ? Witness—Yes, sir; M r . Constable, assistant to Dr. Wakem, has attended io It ever since. Wm. Cook, the landlord of Oae house, 96, Black friars-road, said—The prisoner , !ias only lodged in my house a week last Tuesday. I knev.' that she had a sickly infant, but I never saw it until the previous day, when the lodger called me into filet /I'm , and then I sent to the parish officers. As soon ga I saw the infant I thought it was dying of starve tine- I have never seen a doctor call on the prisoner. Prisoner—No; I always carried the baby to Dr. Wakem. Mr. Barcham (to landlord) —Have you ever seen' the prisoner enter your house in a drunken state? Witness—No, I have not, as my attention is chiefly called to my shop. I, however, always thought she was a married woman, as the room was taken by her and a man whom she called her hue band. The latter went out early in the morning to work, and returned home late at night. Mr. Burch am (to prisoner)--Have you any ques tions to ask the witnesses Prisoner—No, sir. All that I have to say is, that I have attended to the child as well as I could. Mr. Burcham—According to the evidence at pre sent before me it does not appear that you have, therefore I shall remand you for a few days to ascertain the real state of your poor negleetedchild. The prisoner was accordingly remanded. GO UNIB I MARKE:iS. , P- -------- - MANCHESTER—Nov. 13.
