fallen state is mingled with indignation against the Power which refused to recognise the force of past services, and has cast aside all considerations of political . gratitude. It seems to be uncertain when Sir Colin Camp bell (for so I must still style him) will move from Allahabad. There has been some talk in Parlia ment, and some writing out of it, of the necessity of " striking a great blow" as soon as the rains are over, and certain it is that we are ready and willing, aad able to strike that blow, if the enemy will stand to receive it. But the insurrection is as suming a small sporadic character, which cannot be affected by the action of a great army, or of concentrated corps. It is probable that the Com mander in Chief will be compelled to deviate from his favourite tactique, and that he will be obliged by the force of circumstances to divide his army into verysmall fragments to deal with these most harassing and distressing local revolts. The wisdom and sagacity of Government, and the energy and resources of the civil power will be taxed to the uttermost in de vising remedies for evils which seem to be almost beyond the reach of military practitioners. Oude still offers a most threatening aspect, for there are no less than 50,000 men of all sorts under arms to oppose the restoration of our role, with guns and cavalry. Rohilcund, notwithstanding the gallant affair at Phillibeet, under Major Samuel Brown, is still disturbed by roving bands of insurgents, and every mail contami intelligence of the' movements of guerilla parties in various districts of British India. The desperate attempt of the disarmed regiments at Moultan ought to be strictly investigated. There ought to be a most rigid inquiry to ascertain, if possible, what were the causes, the hopes, the fears, the despairs of -the moment, or the 'secret intrigues which impelled. these men to one of the most extraordinary and suicidal revolts that even the strange history of this rebel lion can afford. Will it be credited that one of those curious exponents of diseased ideas called newspapers in India—and that a respectable organ in its way—has, with much self-complacency, pro claimed that the reason of the hopeless rush of those madmen armed with the legs of bedsteads upon loaded guns and European artillery, was that they were almost certain of immunity from punishment, and that they were encouraged to an attentat which has already led to the forfeiture of the lives of 1,400 of their number by the conviction that their lives were secure ? This, too, in the very province where every attempt at revolt has been signally, if not severely, punished ; where justice has been as sharp, swift, and unrelenting as revenge herself, and where the sparks of insurrection have been crushed out with an iron heel. The best commen tary on the fatuity of the view of this organ is the result of the outbreak. But the time is really come for the people of England and for the Government of the country to meet the manifestations of a s pirit which would rendersour rule in India not only a crime, but an impossibility, by an active and resolute Policy. Outrages on natives must be punished, unless we would willingly and knowingly accept the hostility of India, and with our eyes open justify the assertions of the intriguers who tell the people that nothing will content us but their utter ex termination. It is astonishing how rapidly the narratives of events are circulated, and how im-. roensely they are exaggerated as they fly from Mouth to mouth, in this country. A short time ago a convoy under a party-of the 97th and 20th Regi nients were on their way to Lucknow. Darkness fell upon them ; there were confusion and delay on the road ; probably there were apathy, neglect, and laziness on the part of the gam-mans, or native drivers, who are usually a most harmless, inoffen sive, and honest race. Some ruffians among the soldiery took advantage of the obscurity to wreak their brutal ferocity on the drivers, and pricked them with their bayonets so severely that one man died of his wound almost immediately, and others were removed so the hospital in litters. Now, lam loath to believe this story, but if it be true the men who were guilty of such disgraceful and disgusting brutality ought to be severely and publicly punished, and every means should be taken to diffuse the knowledge of their chastisement. There ho doubt, unhappily, but that their crime will be - speedily known for thousands of miles. 'lt Will be repeated with every aggravation, and it Will probably be swollen into an organised con spiracy to murder the whole of a most useful and numerous class of our subjects in India. One of the papers which contains an account of the occurrence remarks that probably "no one will think much of wounding a few niggers." But I hope and trust that the probability is of a very different character ;. and that, as we would preserve our cha racter for justice and - humanity, the punishment of the offence (whichis murder if wilfully perpetrated) will be commensurate with its magnitude. These `` niggers " a re men w h o carry our commerce along the public, roads, to whom our mer chants intrust . vast amounts of property, and Who form a 'caste or a class remarkable for their honesty. Indeed, I have seen advertise- Inents in the Indian papers stating that during the disturbances gai•rewans upon the road had placed property with which their garries were laden in places of safety, and calling on the owners to come forward and claim' their property. It must be re collected that it would have been impossible to deteCt or. punish these men if they had misap• prapriated the property intrusted to them, for they had only to make. their way to the enemy, or even to say they were plundered on the road, to secure themselves from punishment. But it is not in this 9,r that instance that we detect the existence of unit most vindictive, unchristian, and cruel spirit Which the dreadful contest and the crimes of the Mutineers have evoked. It is in the press—in the c9u nting-house—even, I regret to say, in. the pulpit. One reverend divine has written a book, in winch, forgetting that the heart of man is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked, he takes . the cheerful view that the Oriental nature is utterly v abolical and hopelessly depraved, as -contradis filiPished from his own nature and that of his eue lvs• The rev. doctor apparently forgets also in ra ce, and part of the world God planted His favoured , s a eo, and gave His revelations, though, indeed, he t " l pPears to be imbued rather with the teaching of 4 ',,lese who smote hip and thigh, even from the rising t 0 setting of the sun, than of Him who told toifs servants to put up the sword. I know, indeed, ot an- excellent clergyman at Simla the other day t ,° ° ' ( occasion in his sermon to rebuke the disposi ti°ll: on the part of certain of his hearers to ill-use e -natives ; but, generally, the voice from the Pulpit has been mute on this matter, or it has c alled aloud, "Go-forth-and spare not." It will b e perceived that the agents used in the e x t erminatio n of the insurgent and mutinous refu gees from Mooltan were all natives, native police an d Of the party of 400 which fled „ . ,t. l l about 80 were drowned in the river, into winch they were driven by our men, and upwards "„' 30 0 were killed or captured, leaving very few n a ceounted for.

Mr. Money admits I was quite right in stating that Lord Clyde remon strated with him next morning on the severity and impolicy of the execution ; and indeed I had the best authority for that and for other statements which some people in authority have found it con venient to affect to discredit in England, but he does not seem to be aware that in a pargraph of one of my letters written long ago I, as an act of justice, mentioned that there was reason to believe Mr. Money had good grounds for ordering the man's execution, and that his conduct in doing so had been directly approved by the Indian Government. That the man was an active enemy is beyond a doubt, but, at first it was said his guilt had been limited to the treason, petty as it would have been. of continuing to act under the rebel rule, when all traces of the British Government had been for the time utterly annihilated in Rohilcund, in the capa city in which he had served the East India Com pany. Mr. Money is an active, able, and zeal ous magistrate, quite as humane as his fellows, and I have great pleasure in forwarding for publication his own account of the transaction. STATEMENT. " Ahmud Yar Khan had, for some time previous to the mutiny on the 31st of May, 1857, held the situation of Tehseeldar of Jellalabad, 20 miles distant from Shahjehan pore. On the overthrow of our authority he presented himself before the rebel Nawab, Goolam Kadir Khan, who had been appointed Mazim or provincial governor, and on his own solicitation he was allowed to retain his post as Tehseeldar. Subsequent t o thi s h e sent a Nuzzar to the Nawab Khan Bahadoor Khan, at Bareilly, and petitioned to be made Naib Nazim of that part of the district. Ho obtained a warrant of appointment, and this document was afterwards discovered among other treasonable records in the fort of Jellalabad on its re -occupation by our troops. " The Tehseeldar, during his tenure of office under the rebels, raised a force of horse and foot, but, finding he was not strong enough to compel the well-disposed zemindars to pay the revenue, he requested and received the assistance of troops from Nawab Khan Bahadoor Khan. With this additional force he plundered and burnt no fewer than 17 villages, and inflicted considerable loss of life. On the day of the arrival of the Rohilcund force at Jellalabad, I was apprized, by a verbal message, that Ahmud Kar Khan wished to surrender himself. No inducement to come in or any hope of pardon has been held out by me, and as the proof of the man's guilt was perfectly clear I saw no grounds for mercy, and, further, that his execution on the very spot where he had so traitorously betrayed his trust would have the best possiblc effect ; and I have reason to believe, from what I' have since learnt, that such has been the case. " On the conclusion of the trial I went personally to the Commander-in-Chief, and also to General Mansfield, and obtained an order for the services of the Provost Sergeant to carry out the execution, which was attended by a guard of 20 men of her Majesty's 79th Highlanders. On the fol lowing morning, at the end of the march, .his Excellency came up to me, and, to my surprise, acquainted me that he considered the execution of the Tehseeldar to have been impolitic. _ _ _ A I have only to add, in conclusion, that most certainly no remonstrance whatever was addressed to me previous to the execution of the Tehseeldar. G. P. MONEY, Magistrate and Collector of Shahje hanpore, and late Civil Officer with the Rohilcund Force under his Excellency the Commander-in - Chief. Shahjehanpore Sept. 7." PIRACY" IN THE CHINA SEA& We have been favoured with a copy of the fol lowing letter, dated Amoy, September 4, 1858 : " Gentlemen,—lt is with feelings of the most pain ful regret I have to inform you of the loss of the good ship Richard Battersby. We were detained some time in Shanghai, as I stated in my last, through sickness among the crew, and afterwards by strong contrary winds. We left the light vessel, at the en trance of Shanghai, on the 27th of Aug., and, after a quick and pleasant voyage, for the season of the year, arrived at th e en t rance o f A moy on t h e 31st. The weather being hazy over the land, I stood in under the weather land, and came to the conclu sion, by the bearing of Dodd's Island, which so nearly correspondS with Chapple Island, and the appearance of tke land generally, that I was at the right entrance. A seaman I had on board, and who had been -trading to Amoy for six voyages, said we were in the right bay, but after proceeding some distance I found my mistake, and, the flood tide being strong, came to an anchor in 31 fathoms of water, but when the ship swung to the wind under the stern there was but 21. I commenced immediately to get the ship into deeper water, when she grounded at 3.30, as nigh as I can judge, of the Ist. She came off with a light fair wind, which carried us about half a mile, when it again fell calm, and we were forced to let the anchor go once more. During the early part of the morning several large boats crowded around the ship, mak ing signs that they were willing to tow the ship out when she floated. At noon of the same date when she was nearly afloat, the men were sent to dinner. As soon as they were out of sight the wretches on deck made a rush at me with the weapons they had concealed about their persons. I soon became insensible. They then laid hold of the steward, cut his throat, and threw him over board; the carpenter,_four boys, and one seaman were also thrown over, but two of the boys and the seaman succeeded in regaining the ship, and were saved; so that all who perished are the carpenter, steward, and the poor boy Johnstone. About four p.m. they left the ship for a few minutes, she being scuttled in three places; the seamen appear to think it was owing to a large junk heaving in sight that caused them to leave ; they immediately came from where they were hid, and while some got the gig out others got the wounded ready, and placed us in her. The wounded consist of Mr.J. Sale, the chief mate, cove re d w ith spear wounds and bruises all over his body ; H. Hales, apprentice, his shoulder blade cut through, having remained two hours in the water ; Robert Booth, apprentice, several scalp wounds, from holystones, from bolts, and any other missiles the wretches could procure ; he was also two hours in the water ; Johnstone, seaman, a spear wound through his hand. As for myself, I am covered with wounds. My head is one mass of cuts and bruises, my right arm and leg were both useless for two days, two fingers on the right hand cut to the bone, and the fourth finger dislocated by one of them pulling the ring off with his teeth. The doctor appears to think that it will be some time before I shall be able to do anything ; but I hope better fortune. The Chinese admiral has sent a notification to our Consul here that the ship is burnt to the water's edge, so I went and extended the process, but they fear they will not be able to give me a copy to-day for the mail. I hope they will, that I might enclose it with this. lam giving orders for the seamen's wages at three days, which I trust you will duly honour ; everything, of course, is lost in the shape of paper ; but previous to my leaving Shanghai every man had signed his account, so that I have a good recollection of what is due to them. .The 1,285 dols. I brought with nie of the freight also fell into their hands. I had to make my escape from them without even a pair of trousers. I now beg leave to conclude, as my fingers are very sore and my head aching very much, and beg to remain, gentleffien, your most obedient servant,—joHN DUFF.—Messrs. John Chisholm and Co."—Liverpool Daily Post. It is expected that a Privy Council will be held by the Queen, at Windsor Castle, in the course of this week, for the further prorogation of Parliament. The formal announcement of the household of the Prince of Wales will be made in the course of the ensu ing week. One by one of the Equerries of his Royal High ness have been to Windsor Castle, and, without the for mality of a regular representation, have received the sanction of the Queen to their appointments. Each was honoured with an invitation to remain a night at the Castle, and took leave the following morning. On the Prince of Wales completing his majority, officers of a higher rank in his household will be appointed.—Court Journal. Next season will probably witness the entree of the Princess Alice into the Court circle, and she will be present at one or two Drawing Rooms. The Princess has dined at the Royal table several times lately, and become the chosen companion of the Queen in her morning walks. It is, therefore, a great satisfaction to find that her Majesty has in her second daughter so charming a successor to the Princess Royal. The Princess Alice bids fair to be tall, her figure is very elegant, and she is very like the Queen. — Court Journal. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cam bridge and the Princess Mary leave Cambridge Cottage, Kew, to-day, on a visit to the Queen and the Prince Con sort at Windsor Castle until after the festivities at the Castle in celebration of the Prince of Wales's birthday. The Duke of Rutland passed through town at the close of the past week to visit Mr. Andrew and Lady Elizabeth Drummond, at Cadlands, and Mr. and Lady Ger trude Sloane Stanley, at Poultons, Hants. His grace will return to Belvoir Castle at the end of the week for the hunting season. The Marquis of Donegal and Lord and Lady Harriet Ashley will leave town to-morrow for Harefield Rouse, near 'Uxbridge. The Earl and Countess of Abergavenny have been receiving a succession of visitors at Eridge Castle. Viscount and Viscountess Torrington, Count and Lady Cecil de la Feld, the Hon. Mr. and Lady Isabel Bligh, Mr. and Lady Dorothy Nevin, and the Hon. Sir Francis and Lady Stapleton were among the guests last week. DEATH FROM AN OVER-DOSE OF LAUDANUM.— The Liverpool coroner held an inquiry yesterday into the death of IN illiam Radcliffe, a tailor, who recently carried on 'business in Ranelagh-street, but who resided with his father, also a tailor and draper, in Wave r t ree - road.

The advices from the various manufacturing dis tricts are of an encouraging character. The iron trade of South Staffordshire has shown symptoms of improvement, and some extensive orders for rails on Russian account have been given out. In the various fancy departments at Birmingham and its neighbourhood, rather more activity has been apparent. The brassfoundry business has been rather more active. The demand for light fabrics at Leeds has been fictive, and most of the manu facturers are very busy on contract orders, the demand for both home use and for exportation being active. At Bradford the worsted trade con tinues steady, and, owing to the high rates current for wools, full rates are demanded. At Manchester there has been a large business transacted in almost all descriptions of cloths, and prices in most in stances had , an upward tendency. Considerable activity has prevailed in the hosiery trade at Lei cester, and prices are looking upwards. At Shef field, Wolverhampton, and Walsall the various branches of business in the neighbourhood have been moderately brisk, and some large orders, chiefly for the home trade, have been issued. During the last two or three days the demand for money in Lombard-street and at the Bank has increased. The terms charged in the open market for first-class bills has advanced from 2 and 21 per cent., at which they have stood for a lengthened period, for so low a rate, to 2-1- per cent. ; but it is evident that the supply of capital is still very abun dant. The continuance of a 3 per cent minimum, and the probability of its not being reduced, will no doubt prompt the bankers and brokers to ask rather higher rates than for some time past whenever the inquiry, whether for commercial purposes or finan• cial arrangements, temporarily expands. The re quirements of the 4th, and the subsequent payments in connection with the loan and other operations, have consequently imparted increased firmness to the market ; and there is reason to believe, owing to the revival of trade,the absorption for the special purposes referred to, and the efflux to the Continent and the East, that the tendency of the quotations hencefor ward will be in the ascendant. At the same time, however, the public should guard against the notion that, because a slight change has occurred, an immediate return of pressure and strin gency will be experienced. Judging from the present position of affairs, accommodation is likely to be obtained on easy terms for some months to come, notwithstanding a moro active inquiry for discount, on enlarged shipments of specie to the Continent and the East.

Mr. Richard Ely, a gentleman residing in the Queen's County, was fired at by some unknown assassin on Friday evening, at a place called Klyle. He lingered until Saturday afternoon, when he expired from the effects of his wounds. LAW INTELLIGENCE. -(THIS DAY.) The judges in the Court of Queen's Bench heard several applications this morning, none of which possessed the slightest interest. In the Exchequer Court their lordships were occupied in hearing the, argumeuts of counsel upon the construction of the terms of a lease. In the Common Pleas the Attorney-General. commenced his arguments in a case concerning the right of the Great Western Railway Company to fix the rate at which parcels should be carried between London and Reading; and Baron Bramwell was occupied in the Nisi prius Court disposing of a case in which the Metropolitan Saloon Omnibus Company sought toat o use lessrebc o y v e b r e l n i g e s v t a u u c e k of b y a t h h o e r she shafts t t of h a n d c b a r e te nbelonging tradesman named North—all of which cases were devoid o f interest. -- In-the Bankruptcy Court, this morning, H. and J. Bald win, lately carrying on business as tailors, in Cornhill, received their certificates of the first class.

The terms were that Captain Corrance should stake £75 to Captain Alexander's .650, to kill the greatest number of partridges, in walking turnip field s , from ten o'clock till four. It was agreed that they should walk 50 yards apart, the one not to kill the bird flying in a direction to the other, and all birds falling out of the field not to be counted. Tho birds were very wild and difficult to got at. Captain Corrance killed 67 in first-rate style; Captain Alexander killed 39 only. We understand that a similar match is in contemplation be tween Captain Corrance and a nobleman, for £5OO a-side.— Burg Post, FOREIG 20 Australian 1 Bon AccordCopper,Lim. 35 Brazil. Imp.

Throughout the continent wheat has commanded very little attention, and prices have had a drooping tendency. Spring corn has been held at fully previous rates. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were tolerably extensive. From abroad we received 15,914 qrs. of wheat, 8,254 barley, 14,386 oats, 2,106 beans, 220 peas, 95 tares, 6,810 linseed, 3,304 rapeseed, 3,975 sundry seeds, and 3,284 sacks of flour. Fresh up, to-day, both from Essex and Kent, coastwise and by land carriage, the arrivals of wheat were very mode rate ; hence, the show of samples of both red and white were small. The attendance of millers being on the increase, the demand for all kinds ruled steady, at prices fully equal to Monday last, and at which a good clearance was effected. The general quality of the samples were tolerably good. There was a large show of foreign wheat. For good and fine parcels the demand somewhat improved, but we havo no advance to notice in prices. Low and damp qualities sold slowly, at late rates. Floating cargoes of grain supported last week's quotations. For fine barley we had a steady sale, at very full prices ; but the value of other kinds was somewhat uncertain. There was a largo supply of foreign oats on offer, and the demand for most kinds was rather inactive, at barely stationary prices. For beans and peas the inquiry ruled steady, at full quotations. Flour was in somewhat improved request, on former terms. The top price of the best town-made was 40e. per 280 lbs. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts were seasonably large as to number, but, for the most part, deficient in quality. Prime Scots and short horns were in steady request, at fully last week's currency, otherwise the beef trade was heavy in the extreme, at a reduction in prices of 2d per Sibs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire, we received 3,200 short horns ; from other parts of England, 350 of various breeds ; from Scotland, 40 Scots; and from Ireland, 1,050 oxen, &c. Compared with Monday last the supply of sheep was en the increase, but the quality of most breeds was very mid dling. The mutton trade generally ruled heavy, and the quotations gave way 2d per Sibs. The best old Downs sold at 4s 8d per 81bs. About 800 Irish sheep wore on offer, but the season for them is now drawing to a close. Calves, though in short supply, wore very dull, at Thurs day's reduction in value of 4d per 81bs. The top figure was 4s 8d per Sibs. We had a very dull sale for pigs, the prices of which gave way 2d to 4d per 81bs. Wo still continue to receive very unfavourable reports from most parts of the Continent, but especially from the north of Europe, respecting the scarcity of food for both beasts and sheep.

All kinds were very dull, and prices ruled in favour of buyers. Fine barley and oats, the supplies of which were limited, realised full quotations, but all other articles were very dull. NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL. Since our last report, full average supplies of both town and country-killed meat have been on offer in these mar kets in very middling condition.

Some time ago, the Procureur Imperial received a complaint from a wealthy tradesman named Daud, 62, Rue Menilmontant, to the effect that in June, 1657, he and a female named Royer had entered into a con vention, by which the latter allowed her daughter, a girl of seventeen, to become his dame de com pagnie for his whole life, on payment of 500 fr. down, and on a promise that 6,000 fr. should be paid after his death, but that the girl, after stopping with him some time, had left him; he therefore prayed that measures should be taken to make her, and her mother, and a man named Marande who lived with the mother, pay back to him the 500 f. and various other sums which he had given them, and restore the promise to pay the 6,000 f. ; also that they should all be condemned as swindlers. On investigation, it appeared that a regular agree ment to the effect stated had really been come to between Baud, on the one hand, and the woman Royer and the man Marande, on the other, and that in virtue of it the girl had become the mistress of Baud, though he is more than forty years her senior. It further appeared that on the day on which she was given up to him, to make his neighbours believe that he was married, he gave a grand wedding feast at a restaurant, followed by a ball, and that at this feast and ball the girl ap peared in bridal attire, with a wreath of orange blossoms on her hel d, and attended by brides maids, whilst her mother and the man Marande acted as parents generally do on such occas i ons. Not only were the 500 f. stipulated fo r d u l y paid, and the promissory note for 6,000 fr. given, but the man, in addition, after taking the girl to his house, gave her a gold watch and chain, various articles of clothing, and different sums of money, and he also gave or paid for the woman Royer and Marande sums of 50fr., 70fr., 175 fr., and 180 fr. After a while, dcouplerefu b s f h o o r w m e Ir o - r e e r , m t h o i n s e l y a s , t a - n n d a n a as a D Daud e e c d a became g e h l , a e m i o t ,r theou s girl at length returned home to her mother. On the whole, Daud, according to his own account, paid 2,690 fr. The promissory note for 6,000 fr., which was seized was a singular document, as it ran thus :—" I will pay after my death, to the order of Mme. Royer, the sum of 6,000 fr. as a recompence for Dille. Royer being my dame de compagnie during the whole of my life. If my life only lasts a single day, still the 6,000 fr. shall be legitimately due, and in case I only keep Mlle. Royer a single day I will pay the 6,000 fr. at once as a recompence for her future prospects being probably compromised.". On discovering these facts, the public prosecutor took no notice of the complaint of Daud, but had him, Marande, and the woman Royor arrested and yesterday the three were brought to trial, th e . last two on the charge of what the law calls "ie_xclting to the debauchery of a g i r l u nder age,' and Daub as their accomplice. Th e girl was called as a wit the old ness, and she stated how she was sold to man, and described the pretended marriage feast; also how, after staying with him a year, she had left him. The reason she assigned for leaving him was that he had tormented her with his jealousy, and she did not appear to feel any humiliation at her situation. The mother made no attempt to deny who has lived with the w oman the charge; Marande , 30 years, though she has a husband alive, pretended that, not being the girl's father, h e was not respon sible ; Daud, whose conduct the president called "ignoble," and inferno, s, said he thought th ere Was nothing wrong in taking a mistress and paying her. The tribunal condemned the woman Royer to two years' imprisonment and 501. fine ; Marande and Baud each to a year's imprisonment and the same amount of fine ; the woran besides to ten and each of the men to five years' interdiction of civil sights.
