My last letter informed you that the -Begnm of Oude had sent in- on the 21st of Dec. to Lord Clyde, or rather to Major Barrow, the political agent, to sue for Surrender. Your own correspondent, doubtless, narratedin detail the plan by which the advance on Baraitch was carried out ; how Lord Clyde crossed the Goo-Fa at Fyzabad, after covering - the line of that river, from ..the Nepaul Hills downwards, by corps echeloned at - convenient distanus, with proper reserves in rear at " Seetapore .and Baree ; how the line of the rebel retreat .eastward was closed by the position of Brigadier Evelegh at Gonda, the advance of Brigadier Roweroft on Toolseporc, and reserves in rear . under Lord Mark Kerr ; how, advancing in person in a direct line towards Baraitch, Lord Clyde- caused Sir Hope Grant to follow a route parallel to his own by an_ advance up the course of the Raptee. "Sir ;Hope Grant was detained for a considerable time at Bulrampore by the rising of the Raptee, so that Lord Clyde was far in advance of him when he entered Baraitch on the 18th of December. With the exception of a slight skirmish before entering the place; there was no incident to mark the Commander-in-Chiefs opera tions up to that date. The cowardly spirit shown by the enemy must be a source of continued vexa• tion among young officers who seek promotion by distinguished feats of. arms. To .such men the rebels give no chance. " The suit of the Begum for surrender was not followed bythe act ; and it was discovered late on_ the 21st of Dec. that the rebels hid evacuated the intrenchments of Nanparah, taking the 13eguin; n prisoner as it were, among them. There was no thing for .it but to proceed With the reduction of the districts. Accordingly, on the night of the 21st, Col. Christie, of her Majesty's 80th, was in structed to leave the Main body, cross the SurjOo, and advance in a north-westerly direction. Colonel Christie obeyed his orders with diligence, and in spite of the_ bad- weather (it rained - heavily)'he made good progress. . On,,the 23d a second column was tin-own forward to follow the left or eastern bank of the• Siujoo - in the direction of Chtinda, and on the same day the Commander-in-Chief, with the whole of his remaining force, broke ground from Baraitch on the road to Nonparah. After - a march of 15 miles he halted at Etahah, where the. rain fell so abundantly that no furtherprogress was possible. The 24th and 25th brought no change, and-it was not till the 26th that the march could be resumed. - - On that-day Lord. Clyde moved out again on a bee line to Churdah.- Nanparah was empty, and the force passed on. It was ascertained, however, from spies and scouts, that the enemy were in force at a place in advance called Burjidiah. After a march of 20 miles from Etahah the enemy appeared insight at 4 p.m.; apparently in force,' in a position inter spersed with topes of trees surrounded by enclosures. They had several guns in position and appeared de termined to resist. As the leading companies of our force approached, and before they were within range, the rebels opened fire with chain shot, shells, and all kinds of curious missiles, which did no harm what ever. The Commander-in-Chief quietly turned their flank with the 7th Hussars. a squadron of Madras Cavalry, four Royal Horse Artillery guns, four com panies of Rifles, and three companies of lieloochees. General Mansfield attacked them in frontwith the remainder of the force, which- consisted of five com panies of Rifles, eight companies of hei Majesty's 20th, the rest of the Beloochees, two Horse Artil lery guns, 150 Carabincers, and the Ist Punjab Cavalry. The rebels fled the - instant they saw their flank was turned, leaving six of their guns . on. the field. Then commenced a pursuit, in the course of which, Ike Horse Artillery getting rather wild, - Lord Clyde put spurs to his favourite charger to bring them to some sort of order. In doing this his lord ship's horse came down and threw Lord Clyde heavily to the ground, dislocating his shoulder and hurting his face. He rose instantly, but the acci.. dent was evidently severe. Dr. Gordon and Mr. Mackinnon were close at hand, and the limb was restored to its place in two minutes, but the shock was very great, and Lord Clyde was unable to resume his seat. The pursuit continued, notwith-. standing this unfortunate accident. General Mans field led it in person, and he chased the rebels with his cavalry and guns for four miles, when they got into jungles and darkness came on. Ond of the guns taken was a 9-pounder. On the 27th Lord Clyde, lead ing in a deaiie, marched at 10 o'clock seven miles, and came before the fort of Mujidiah, a much stronger position than any that the troops_ had found in Oudc. It was girt in with a formidable ditch, and seemed capable of withstanding any sudden assault. Lord Clyde, however, after ordering it to be recon noitred, and causing his doolie to. be carried to a point between two embrasures out of the direct. line of fire, determined to take the place from three sides. On one flank an 18-pounder and an 8-inch mortar first opened fire ; two mortars opened on the other flank, while the Horse Artillery swept. the surrounding jungle, then swarming with rebels. On the third side the heavy guns were placed in position in the jungle about 350 yards from the fort. For some time the enemy kept up a smart fire with round shot, grape, and brass shells. On our _part the cannonade had not long commenced before the infantry was ordered to deploy, in skir mishing order, to its own front and left. The Men had strict injunctions to creep through the jungles and aim at the embrasures. These orders were cleverly obeyed, and the accuracy of the Enfields enabled the marksman to cripple the enemy's fire, whiCh first diminished, and then ceased altogether. The rebels_ were, in fact, so terrified. that they abandoned the contest and fled through the jungles in their rear, where the cavalry could not pursue them, but where ninny were killed at half-pistol shot The fort was immediately occupied, and six guns were found there: Strange to say, no traces appeared of either dead or wounded. The place was found to have been - newly built; surrounded by a ditch of immense depth, and "armed with several guns, among which was an 18-pound howitzer and a large mortar. Quantities of grain, oil, shells, and ammunition were discovered. . So ,precipitate was the flight of the garrison that they left no prisoners in our hands, and the intelligence department failed ta:diseover the name of the chief who . commanded. It was generally believed, however, :that Bainie Madhoo had been there ; and it was well known" that the Nana was not there. He had fled two days before along the Tcrrai to Combacote on the road to Toolsepore, to join his brother Bala Itao. By this movement he was performing the popular evo lution of jumping from the fryingpan into the fire. Brigadier Rowcroft had successfully advanced to Toolsepore and driven back Dabe.e Buksh and his confederates to the westward on Combacote. When last heard of he -was proceeding thither. In the affair of ToolsepOre two guns had been taken. Grant's column in its advance did nothing; but Colonel Christie had two engagements with the rebels on the right bank of the Surjoo, and took son' e guns. When Mujidiah fell he lay at Muthara. Purnell and Troup had also changed their position and kept an even front with the head-quarters' column as it advanced. It was supposed that the CoMmander-in-Chief would not hold his last posi tion long, but that after blowincr up Mujidiali he would retire to - Churdah or Slonparah, where greater facilities exist for making a move in any direction. _ The determination of ißainie . Madhoo and other chiefs to hold out to the last, when they.hnowthat the amnesty expires on the Ist of January, creates 4 new • difficulty for the, commander-in-Chief and Lord Canning. The question arises whether it.is desirable to prolong the days Of grace. There is a rumour that orders have been issued to extend the amnesty beyond the Ist Jan. But I very Much doubt the policy Of Ibis as far as the Oude incor rigibles are concerned. • The Begum might be in formed privately that she may still be admitted, to the benefits of amnesty, but for the rest no hope of pardon should be held out. I. believe that we I ; : i. a. , :c e l-iettiearsme,cis,uoir of3e e d et the surrender of all those who arc • likely to como to terins, an d t h a t no thi ng i s t o be gained by f urt h er 7; i mmun i ty. f rom pun i s h men t. h l e tn a d m F n e e r s o ty ze , I S .e h t ah ne a i i t •e he b r ot o l f : t a i l i s e . n al i •e ar e c f inclined to surrender.

That Tantia shouldseta-islet i n whencea fortnightth ey tl cate have n beenJe y ably . to baffle five or six columns thrown out in put-. suit of him; awl march frein the vicinity of Oodey pOre to the neighbourhcod of Jeypore, is one of the startling proofs of the rapidity with which native marauders march, and shows that the spirit of the old 1 5 :1 1 Mlarries kurfiYq in full vigour, Nor was this marches after him, and occupied the road, so that an .action was inevitable. UnfortUnately, Tantia was .misinformed as to our force, and thought-he had only to deal with a detachment of cavalry. I say Unfortunately, because had 'he- known that the whole of Major Roche's column, composed .of infan• try, cavalry, and part of Bolton's battery, was at hand, he - would have hesitated, in attempting- to force his Way through the pass -leading from Per .taubghur, above. Mundessore; the, Chumbul, and the chance would have remained tcrus of hemming. him in and encircling his army: Tantia,- however, fancying he had to deal only with cavalry, entered the passage on the 24th, and was, totally surpriSed by Roche's force, whose artillery, under Captain Bolton, opened upon him 'at short range with considerable effect. Tantia did not at tempt to resist. He fled, and, leaving some men and elephants in our h an d s , swept by our foreeand rapidly proceeded to the ',eastward. It was now the turn of Col. Somerset - tVrtirsue. He despatched Cel. Benson with the 17th Lancers. - Tantia did not relax fora moment in his - efforts to fly. He got to the Chumbul, crossed it before his -pursuers, and, still running east, entered Zeerapore, in the terri tory of Holkar, 100 miles south-east of Ne e m uc h, on the 26th of December: Col. Benson followed him almost as: rapidly as he fled, caught him at Zeerapore, after a forced march, and fought another action, in which the rebels lost more men and elephants. Still Tantia escaped and fled. lie - now abandoned his easterly course, and retired rapidly to the northward. On the Ist of January Colonel Somerset had again caught him at Bursode, or Bur rod, near the Chumbul, some 50 miles north-east of Kotah.. This feat was performed by a forced - march of five days, without tents, and with very little food: Col. - Somerset's strength was, - however, too numerically weak to do more than disperse the rebels. His force consisted only of two companies of the 92d, under. Capt. Bethune, four guns Royal Horse Artillery, under Paget; 150 of Barra's Camel Corps, and a part of the 9th Bengal Native Infantry, under Capt. C. It: Baugh. Had the detachment been three times as large the rebels would have been destroyed to a man. The 92d, Camel Corps, and Ar tillery alone went into action; the 9th Native In fantry being left as a matter of necessity to protect the rear, as the force without that.protection would infallibly have been mobbed by numbers. No troops couldhave behaved better than ours in the encounter; but the enemy gave no chance, and dispersed in stantly. Tantia proceeded from Burrod to the Chum bul, and passed into the Jeypore territory. , " Feroze Shah, on the other hand, having crossed the Grand Trunk Road, having been joined by Maun Sing in the vicinity of Rajghur (the scene of General Michel's action with Tantia Topee a few months ago), and they having been defeated by Brigadier Smith's force from Seronje, on the 24th Dec., gathered •his scattered followers together, and proceeded rapidly to the north, crossed the Chumbul at Indurghur, -and effected his junction with Tantia Topee in the Jey-pore tenitou. Their joint forces are by this at Mahorajpore,from which, as I have already remarked, it threatens Jeypore. I suppose, however, that the Ajmeer and Nusseera bad columns are on their- track. " In Central India little has been done, except to receive the submission , of rebels under the terms of the amnesty. The gang which lay for so many weeks at Jacklone, in the vicinity of Liddsirs force at Lullutpore, surrendered on the 28th December. " Those whom I described to you as threatening Kirwee. in the Banda districts, had the audacity to attack that place on the 22d December. They surrounded the .town, which was held by a small Madras detachment, under Captain Woodland, of the Ist Madras Native Infantry, but, as they had no guns, their attempt failed. Capt. Woodland was relieved on the 25th by the district magistrato, Mr. Power, and a small force lent for the, occasion by the Ranee of Chutterpore. The rebels retired to a position at Panwarree, three miles from Kirwee. On the 29th Gen. Whitlock attacked and killed upwards of 300 of them, and utterly dispersed the whole gang, Radha Gobind, their chief, flying for life into the jungles. " In North Berar the Rohillas and other dacoits who infest the rich cotton districts still remain un subdued. A party of them got into Gen. Beatson's rear, sacked Ajunta on the 3d January, and burned seven or eight villages. " Madras—peaceful Madras l as it has always been called—has been the scene, of a religious riot, in which numbers of lives have been unnecessarily sacrificed. Nowhere in India i there so large . 5 Christian population.as at Tinnetelly. Nowhere is the Hindoo population more fanatical. The autho rities,.always desirous of avoiding contention be tween the Idolaters and Christians, have been accustonral-weakly to give in to the prejudices of the Brahmins. Christian funeral processions have usually. •been prohibited from passing in front of the pagodas, and even in streets occupied by high caste Hindoos. Such pretensions have never been listened to in this Presidency, where Christian funerals pass daily before the temples of Bunneahs and Brahmins without remark. In the present in• stance, it seems, there was no roa d f or a Ch r i s ti an funeral to pass, except that leading in front of the great Tinnevelly pagoda. Th e B ra hmi ns , trusting, to long-continued tolerance on the part of the autho rities, attempted to prevent the passage of the funeral. A row ensued. The Christians were stoned by the Brahmins, and it became necessary to send for a force to restore order. Unfortunately, three compa nies of Sepoys were brought in froth Palamcottah, and fire-arms were used. The result was that 39 persons in the crowd were killed. Experience shows that mobs of Hindoo religionists are easily dispersed without the use of fire-arms. Riots arising froin causes similar to those which marked that of Tinne velly have been put down easily by the police with sticks, and there is no reason to doubt that a firm and determined magistrate, backed by a few reso lute.policemen, armed with staves, would have got the upper hand of the mob in the present instance. The use of arms on the occasion is therefore inex-, 'cusable ; and I hope the person who ordered ,them to be employed will meet with the reproof which he deserves. Relicrious fanaticism runs riot in the Presidency of Madras, but it is much to be regretted that a massacre like that of Tinnevelly should have taken place at the present time, when all our efforts should be directed towards allaying differences and securing peace. _ " The only interesting news I have from Bona is, that Lord Canning left Allahabad on the 3d of Jan. for Calcutta. Mr. Edmonstone remains in charge of the North-West Provinces, and is suc ceeded by Mr. G. C. Barnes as Secretary to the Go vernment of India in the foreign department. It is supposed that Mr. Wingfield will succeed Mr. Mont gomery as Chief Commissioner in Oude. Mr. Muir returns to his appointment as junior member of the Board of Revenue, and Mr. E. C. Bayley becomes Secretary of the North-West Provinces. " We have had two arrivals of troops since my last letter—the Forerunner with draughts and the Great Tasmania with a wing of the 4th from the Mauritius. _ _ " The presidency has felt a smart shock of an earthquake, which seems to have extended from PeShawur down'to Madras. " At Poona we have had a military riot, in which the 86th and Royal Artillery were the parties con cerned. One man has been killed and six or seven wc,unded, A court of inquiry has been sitting.

Pritchard, the British Consul at the Fdiejee Islands, arrived in Sydney a few - days ago in the missionary ship John Wesley, - )vith a treaty in his pocket, by which the protectorate of the Fejee Islands is to be ceded to. Great Britain on certain conditions, and he proceeds to England by the mail steamer to see if he can secure the ratification of this agreement by her Majesty's Government. Thakomban, the native potentate who thus offers to place his royalty under the guardianship of her Majesty, has been induced to take this course to escape from the pressure of demands made by the Government of the United States. Some American citizens ha'a been killed in Feejce, others have been injured in their property and persons in various encounters. The demands made for indem• nity have never been satisfied. The claims, some of which are of old standing, have been assessed by a board of American officers at 45,000 doll.. and in order to escape the payment or- the punishment which is threatened for nonliayment, the Fejee chief offers to hand over his dominions to the British Government, and leave it with them to make it right with the authorities at Washington. He proposes to retain his titular sovereignty, but to part with his real power, and -to govern only in accordance with the instructions of her Majesty's local representative. To compensate for the £9,000 which her Majesty will have to pay- for the honour of being Queen of Feejee, he offers to. give 200,000 acres of land in fee simple, with-any other plots of land that may be needed for Governmental pur poses. S omething.more than curiosity exists in Sydney to know whether the British Government will favour ably consider this offer. - The establishment of British power among the islands has been long desired, not only by the missionaries, but the traders, as .a protection, not only against foreign aggression, but also against internal organisation. The occupation of Feejee would act as a counter poise against the . French influence at Tahiti and New Caledonia, and would break the line of French posts across the Pacific.. And, what would be equally popular in Australia, it would necessitate the maintenance in those waters of one or two more British ships of war. - But, perhaps, the very reasons why the colonists would like to see a British estab lishment.in Feejee were those which would most strongly induce her Majesty's Ministers not to take such- a course. To multiply its isolated depend erioieS, except for very good reasons, is not the policy of ,the Government ' • still less so to purchase a right of quarrel with the United States. The Feejee Islands, however, would in themselves be a valuable possession. The two principal islands are of considerable area, the lowlands are fertile, and are capable of producing good cotton ;- the moun tains are salubrious, there. arc several excellent harbours, and a native population estimated roughly at 200,000. But it is not very clear whether Thakomban's title to be chief of the whole group is sound and marketable. During the past month one session of Parliament has closed and another has opened. It was consti tutionally necessary to try and pass the estimates for 1859 before Christmas. The Appropriation Act for the present year was not assented to till the, close of November, so that the money was in reality nearly all spent before it was voted. Party squabbles and Ministerial changes have thrown the Parliamentary work so much in arrear that it has been found impossible to get the estimates passed in time. Au attempt is now being made to fetch up leeway. The Government intend to bring forward this session nothing whatever but the esti mates, and to pass them on as fast as possible, leav ing all general measures to the Reformed Par liament; but the Opposition have already shown a desire to introduce various questions, and to impede the progress of the mere financial business, so that the session may yet be a long 'one. During the interval between the two sessions an ecclesiastical Parliament was held in the shape of a conference of the Church of England clergy and lay delegates, summoned by the bishop to decide as to the establishment of a synod. The Church- of England in the colonies. is in a somewhat anoma lous position. It labours, or is said to labour, under special disabilities, which impede its free action. But the Imperial authorities, for reasons affecting the prerogative , decline to pas s a n y bill definitely removing these alleged disabilities. It only remains, therefore, for an appeal to be made to the colonial Legislatures. In Canada, in Victoria, in Tasmania, acts have been passed legalising the convention of synods. In South Australia and New Zealand synods have been established by voluntary consent of the parties concerned, and without any appeal to Parliament. At the recent conference in Sydney, it was decided by a large majority to apply for Parliamentary sanction, and to present to the Le gislature not only an enabling bill, but a bill con stituting the ecclesiastical organisation of the synod. Such a bill was accordingly agreed to, after careful discussion of its clauses, and the conference has been dissolved. But it is, by no means certain that the bill will pass Parliament. The Catholics have been deeply offended of late by the return to the colony unsanctioned of their bill to establish a Ca tholic College in connection with the University of Sydney. In this bill the phrases " archbishop" and " archdiocese" of Sydney were used, and the bishop remonstrated against them, and not by petition to the Assembly, but by letter to the Government, and privately by communicating with high ecclesias tical authorities at home. Lord Stanley sympa thised with the abjection, and sent the bill back to be amended. Resolutions have been several times brought forward in the Assembly by the Catholic party strongly condemnatory of Lord Stanley's con duct, but they have been invariably .met by a count out. This has only made the Catholics still more angry, and they vow to have their revenge at the next general election. They will certainly use their political influence which is very great, to pay out the bishop by securing the rejection of his Synod Bill, and in this they will be aided by the non-episcopal portion of the religious community, who are opposed to anyrecognition by the Govern ment of the internal constitution of the different churches. A very respectable and influential minority, too, in the Church of England itself is opposed to the bill in the shape in which it has come out of the conference, so that its chances of becoming the law of the land are not very bright. The quarrel between the squatters and the Go vernment as to their rights under their leases seems likely to be transferred to the Supreme Court. One of the acts passed in the late session imposed an assessment on runs. There have been previously assessments on stocks, but never before an assess ment on the carrying capacityof the runs, many of which are altogethertunstocked or only - very lightly stocked. This change in the incidence of the tax is said to be illegal and not sanctioned by the orders in Council. Most of the colonial lawyers take this view, though, of course, there are found others prepared to argue on the opposite side. The wealthy squatters do not care to contest the point, inasmuch as victory would be disaster,lor, Were they to overturn the present arrangement, they know full well that they would only get worse terms at any future settlement. But some of the poorer squatters, on whom the tax presses hardly, and especially so 4s being a retrospective tax,. for it was not passed till the year had nearly expired, threaten to, try the right of th e Government in the law courts.. the late Attorney-General has given his written opinion that the Judge would be forced to decide against the Government. As one adverse deoLs.ion would iuytolveequay every case, this long On Saturday evening a numerously attended meeting of the electors of the borough of Green wich was • held in the hall of the Greenwich Literary * lnstitution for the purpose of hearing from Lieutenant-General Sir William Codrington, M. k. for the borough, an account of his steward ship. Mr. James Laing occupied the chair. General CODRINGTON was 'very well received, and proceeded to review in rapid succession the principal measures which had engaged the atten tion of the Legislature during the last session of Parliament. and the votes he had given on those measures. Defending the conduct of Lord Canning as Governor - General of India, and condemning the despatch which had been written against the pro clamation issued by his Lordship; ho paid a well merited eulogium to the conduct of the troops engaged in suppresiing the revolt, under the gallant leadership of General Sir H. Havelock, Lord Clyde, Sir John Lawrence, and others. The gallant General next referied to the attempt of Orsini on the life of the Emperor of the French, as a miserable, dastardly,: and inipolitic crime, and denied that the. Conspiracy- Bill brought into the House of Commons by Lord Palmerston was in tended as an interference with the right of asylum so freely granted by: this eountry_ to foreigners. (Hear, hear.) It was intended by that bill to make those who - in this country plotted, with others in another country, to commit such' crimes as that of Orsini,- amenable to the lawfor the consequences of "Such Plotting, 'although the offence might b e com mitted abroad and for the passing of which bill he had given his vote, and would be prepared to do so again if the opportunity occurred. (Cheers and hisses.) Having referred to the votes he had given in favour of the admission of Jews to Parliament, the total abolition of church-rates, the property qualifica tion of members, and of Mr. Locke - King's motion for an extension of the county franchise, and his opposition to the ballot, the gallant General ob served that when he first sought the honour of representing the borough in Parliament hehad stated that he considered an extension of the suffrage necessary. (Cheers.) That opinion he still held. (Renewed cheers.) ,He had given no pledge, because he did not think it right for members, or for the interests of constituencies that a member should be a mere delegate, as to what that exten sion should consist ; but, having pledged himself to the principle, he hoped the electors would trust him, as` they had trusted him before, promising them that he would not deceive them, but that he would support that measure which, in his opinion, would most conduce to the happiness and prospe rity of the country. (Cheers.) The meeting was next addressed by Mr. CROW and Mr. AIACARTHY, both of whom declared that General Codrington had not given that support which he ought to procure an increase of pay to Government dockyard labodrers, Mr. Maearthy producing a letter written by the General in Aug. 1857, to another person, to prove his remarks. General CODRINGTON emphatically repelled the statement made against him, and said, that not only had he waited upon the Admiralty, but upon the authorities at the War-office also, to procure an increase of pay to the dockyard labourers. (Cheers.) In proof of this ho would direct attention to the letter which had been produced with the intention of injuring him, merely observing that a, private letter written to another person had been by some means obtained, and that, although he had no ob jection to it being publicly read, yet if ought to be a warning to representatives as to what they might write even privately to any of their constituents. (Hear, and cheers.) The CHAIRMAN here read the letter, which was simply an answer, received by General Codrington from Sir C. Wood, to the. effect that neither poli tical nor private influence could be permitted by the Admiralty to be exercised in regard to the amount of wages paid to persons in Government dockyards, but that all complaints must be made by the workmen themselves, through the different Captain• Superintendents, when it was suggested the Admiralty would have no objection to receive one or two of the workmen as a deputation. A scene of indescribable confusion here ensued, two men who had mounted the platform wrestling with each other; and it was not until the walking stick of one of them bad been broken, and they were both ejected from the building that order was restored. Several other questions, including legal reform, the rating of G.overnment property, and a Maine liquor law, having been answered, Mr. NOBLE proposed a resolution, expressing satisfaction in the past and confidence in the future conduct of General Codrington as a representative of the borough. Mr. TEULON seconded the resolution, which was carried. A vote of thanks was then passed to the Chair man, and the meeting was about separating, when General CODRINGTON again came forward, and said he had to request the attention of the electors to a matter which affected them as well as himself. On the 31st of January he had been offered a mili tary command abroad. At that time he had ar ranged to hold three public meetings in the borough but at neither of the two meetings previously held, at Deptford and Woolwich, had it been settled whether he would accept that command, nor had it been settled until within a quarter of an hour of his coming to the meeting that evening. The command to which he had referred would not be vacant until April, and he had now to state. that it was his intention, when that time arrived, to resign into the hands of the constituency that honour and that important trust which they had conferred upon him. In doin; so, he had to thank the elec tors for the kindness and support he had received, assuring them that when the time arrived for say ing farewell he should look back with the greatest pleasure upon his connection with the borough. (Cheers.) The above announcement took the meeting by surprise, and as the second vacancy in the repre sentation of the borough will occur about the same time as the writ is expected to be issued for the election of a successor to Mr. John Townsend, dis qualified from tiking his seat, it is generally sup• posed that both scats will be contested at the same election. Already it is rumoured that other candi dates, in addition to Mr. Alderman Salomons and Mr. Angerstein, mho have been some time in the field, will present themselves in the course of a few days, and that a numerously signed requisition will be presented to Mr. Montag:Chambers, Q.C., to allow himself to be put in nomination.

WORCESTER, Saturday. • The contest, in which Mr. Calthorpe on the Liberal .and Mr. Pakington on the Conserv ative side are now engaged, promises to be a hot Mr. Pakingtoii has been obliged to refrain fr°in ad dressing public meetings , being exhausted b y h exer tions, but Lordlngestre, M.P' , Hon. F. Ly;on is , M.P., and other gentlemen, are canvassing and speechifying on his behalf, and they claim to-day to have secured 1,700 promises, out of aconstitu ency of 5,900. On the other hand , M C althorpe co ntinues personally to address the el ectors, and his friends are sanguine of success. It being announced that Lord Irk , Hon. F. Lvgon, and Mr. Dowdeswell woul d nstre, this afternoon address the electors at the Coi Exchange here, Lord Ingestre was proceeding to speak, when he was interrupted by som e of de merchants, who ob jected to the business hours of the market being interfered with, and his_ lordship was saluted with a shower of wheat samples. An adjournment then took place to the street, where Lord Ingestre spoke fora short time, and was followed by the other gentlemen named. At Stourbridge last evening, at the eloSe of the market, there was a meeting of the friends of both parties, when Mr. H. J. W. FOLFY : M.P., spoke on behalf of Mr. Caltho r p e , b u t denied that he was his political sponsor, for on some points—the ballot for instance —they did not agree. He (Mr. Foley) was for the ballot, but Mr. Calthorpe opposed it. Neverthe less he supported Mr. Calthorpe, because he was in other respects decidedly a Liberal. Mr. F. LYGON, M.P. urged the elect ors to sup port the candidate who would do his best to keep up their great national institutions, which had made England - what she now was, and not to encourage those men who would subvert and weaken those institutions, and Americanise the country. He be lieved • Lord Derby's Government was one which was entitled to the support and confidence of all classes who wished well to their country, and Air.

"London, February 4, 1859." TILE COMET IN 11 7 E TV ZEALAND. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—On the 15th of October, shortly after sun set, we had the first distinct view of what there appears to be little doubt is the great cornet of 1261 and 1556, whose long journey has b een calcu lated with 'so much precision that it was expected to visit our world again this year. Its position was then (15th Oct.) in the northern extremity of the sign Scorpio, just outside the ecliptic, 20 deg. south of the equator, and 265 dog. west longitude. Appa rently the nucleus was about the size of the planet Mars, and was distinctly defined. • The coma was in breadth nearly the diameter of the nucleus, and the tail, which was slightly curved towards the sun, and to a small extent fan•shaped, was about four degrees in length. The breadth of the tail in the middle might be a quarter the apparent diameter of the moon ; and, as is almost invariably the case with these strange visitors, extended in a direction opposite to that of the sun. For about a third of its length it was very bright, notwithstanding the eclipsing effects of a new moon, then it waxed fainter and fainter, until it became, as it were, im perceptibly lost in tho heavens. I have described its appearance in the past tense, as it has not been visible to the naked eye since the 16th inst., although it may likely be seen for some time yet with a powerful telescope. Although in many respects it corresponds to the comet formerly alluded to, its progress does not agree with it ; for while the stranger in 1556 pursued a north-westerly path, this one is receding f rom th e sun i n a south east direction, along the edge of the sign Scorpio, across the ecliptic at an angle of 384 degrees. It is moving into space with great rapidity, at first nearly 5 degrees in 24 hours ; but, as its distance became greater, this apparent motion became of course much less—say, latterly, about one degree in the same time. I have taken the liberty of giTing you these par ticulars, arrived at to the best of my ability and op portunity, in case a more scientific person should not send home a report from this quarter of this strange phenomenon of nature. _ _ . I am, sir, your obedient servant, ANTIPODES. Wellington, New Zealand, Nov. 249. COLLISION IN THE CHANNEL. BRIGHTON, Sunday.—The weather has been very squally off - this coast for some days past. Last night it blew a stiff gale outside, and at daybreak this morning the Coast Guard discovered a large barque, dismasted, drifting down Channel to the eastward, about four miles out. She had only a part of her mizenmast standing, and not a shred of canvas was Visible. 'The lifeboats were immediately launched,- and two crews, headed by the well-known John Wright, of this place, and John Spicer, Ono' of his lieutenants, put off through a heavy surf to render assistance to the vessel. The wreck was observed about the same time from, the Greenway Preventive Station at Rotting-dean, and, under the direction of Richard Millard, the veteran chief boatman in charge, a small four-oared galley, manned by five gallant fellows belonging to the station, put off to aid the vessel. There was much difficulty in launching this small boat, owing to the heavy sea running at the time, and great anxiety prevailed for the safety of her crew, even after she had got well clear of the breakers". • But the gallant little craft crested the waves in good style, and after a couple of hours hard pulling she was the first boat to come alongside the wreck, which lay in the trough of the sea, rolling fearfully. After consi derable risk and difficulty, the coxswain of the galley, Wm. Wiley, broUght his vessel alongside, and with his companions boarded the vessel, which proved to 13,, the Spanish baque Vizcaya, of Bilboa, Captain Jose de Urquida, in ballast, bound from Falmouth to London, for orders. The crew had abandoned the ship, which had evidently been in recent collision with some large vessel, the masts, yards, and rigging lying in one indiscriminate miss upon the deck, and the bulwarks on both sides. being carried away. The ship being now south west of Rottingdean, and beating ill towards a rocky shore, the crew of the galley, as the only chance of saving her, let go the bower anchor, which fortunately brought her up immediately. When, shortly afterwards, the Brighton lifeboats arrived, their assistance was declined by the more fortunate crew in possession, whose superior officer had taken the precaution of sending over from Rot tingdean to Newhaven, begging that the first steamer that could be got ready would put to sea immediately. The Brighton and South Coast Com pany's steamship Lyons, Captain Wright, was the first to get her steam up, and as soon as the water in the harbour permitted, she &net cooffmtpoatnhy%wagreecnkt: iheie was considerable a h nadv i T g wo on e b h o a ld el M p ri lo ß t o s s . son , difficulty in attaching the hawser, but after a time this was accomplished, and about half-past one o'clock the wreck was safely towed into Newhaven Harbour, where she remains in charge of the pre ventive officers. Later this morning; a full-rigged ship - was observed off Shoreham, partially dismasted. Several steamtugs put off to her assistance, and in consequence of thcdraught of water being too great to enter Shoreh am H ar b our t h ey have taken her to the westward, probably intending to go into Ports mouth. This is supposed to be the ship with which the Spanish barque must have come into collision during last night ; and it is hoped that the crew of the latter will be found on board the larger ship. CHRISTIANITI' IN INDIA. The following are the terms of the resolutions of which Mr. Warren, M.P., has given notice iu the House of Commons : "That her Majesty having been graciously pleased, on assuming the governmentof India, to proclaim to theprinccs, chiefs, and people thereof her firm reliance on the truth of Christianity, at the same time disclaiming the right and the desire to impose her convictions on any of her subjects, it is the opinion of this house that the Government scheme of native education should include instruction in the lloly Scriptures, but that no religious teaching of any kind should be made compulsory on pupils objecting to receive it. "2. That, scrupulously respecting the rights of property in the native religious endowments, the Government should leave the entire administration of such endowments to the natives themselves • an d that no salutes, or ot her marks o f honour inconsistent royal profession of Christianity, should be rendered to any of the native religions ; nor any processions or ether public exhibitions allowed which m a y disturbthe publicpe2ce corrupt the public msrals, or offend ag ainst hunianitypr the religious convictions of any cl am o of her Majesty's subj ects in India.
