The natives will, no doubt, construe the affair of Tuesday into a victory on their part, for we did not dislodge them from the bush, and we left our dead in their hands. The General may have his own reasons, and it m a y be best, perhaps, not to find fault. " The enemy were supposed to be about 150 strong, as they were only King's immediate fol lowers, the Waikatos having returned to their homes. " You will see in the Herald that the southern rebels have returned to their pahs on the coast, and to their homes. We hear that the majority are prostrated with the influenza. " As things are at present, I do not see any pro• spect of a speedy conclusion of the war. If we are afraid to follow the enemy into the forest, they will remain there and defy us, and continue to send out small parties to murder and pillage, and take good care not to come out and meet us in the open field.

By others it is thought that Sangkolinsin wishes to try another throw of the dice, to see if he will not be more fortunate ; and another account is, that two new commissioners have been appointed—one of them a prince of the blood---and that Kweiliang and his coadjutors have been merely put forward to sound our demands. All these rumours are equally plausible, but no reliance can be placed on any of them, as they require confirmation. One thing is certain, that the Chinese government will not give in without a good deal of argument. At Shanghai matters remain much the same as we have had to advise for two or three mails. Trade still remains paralysed and was unlikely to improve during the present unsettled state of affairs. The settlement itself is quite safe, as there are plenty of troops there. The rebels are said to be pressing Hang•chu, but the city is strongly garrisoned. their marching further. To-day they were to ad vance to Nan-tsi-wan, and thence to Ho-se-woo, which is 120 le from Tien-tsin. Some persons, dressed as officials, had met them and endeavoured to persuade them to return, saying mandarins of high rank were coming to treat. All the drivers had decamped with their mules, leaving the loaded waggons behind. This will retard their march to Toongchow considerably.

Our dates from Fuh-chu are to the 21st. A mis sionary had rented a house inside the city, but the mandarins insisted on his withdrawing, as no treaty makes any mention of foreigners residing within the city. The British consul has taken up the sub ject, and protested against such a narrow view of the treaty being entertained. The native authorities have collected a fleet to prevent the Canton boat men from going up to Fuh-chu. From Swatow, according to our latest dates (the 1.100, the .had feeling w'rieh has been manifpiated against foreigners still exists against the "undutiful barbarians."

By the arrival of the overland mail we receive advices from Calcutta to Oct, 8, arid from Madras to Oct. 14. The Calcutta news, which is a week later than that received via Bombay, is scanty. Lord Canning has made arrangements for leaving Calcutta on Nov. 15, and sailing up the Gogra to Fyzabad to decide as to its navigation and person ally inspect the working of the new talookdar ma gistrate system. Returning to Benares, the Gover nor-General will there permanently establish his camp for the cold weather. Thence he will make flying visits to the chiefs of Central India and the Deccan. He will return to Calcutta early in March, when the usual term of office of five years will have expired. The belief is general that he will be suc ceeded by Lord Elgin, though it is understood that, unless the country is perfectly quiet and taxation is working smoothly, he may remain another hot season in India.

From Canton we learn that an improved feeling has been experienced in the market. The rebels, however, although defeated in the Lokchcong dis trict,are impeding trade in another part of the u try. It is said they have seized a quantity of eon tea which was intended for the Canton market. A daring robbery took place at Canton the other day. A band of 50 men, who have for some time been prowling about the western suburbs, attacked the premises of Cammoo Yacoob, wounded the watch man, and carried off 2,000 dols., 1,000 dols. of which belonged to the comprador, and two chests of opium.

Sir Hugh Rose after being present at the opening of the East India Railway to Rajmahal with Lord Canning and Mr. Grant on the 15th, will sail up the Ganges to Allahabad, and form the first of his cold weather camps of instruction at Cawnpore. Since the issue of the government manifesto, two Volunteer Rifle corps have been formed in Calcutta. The two clubs which formerly existed in Lahore have been amalgamated into a corps, and clubs are being organised in Allahabad, Agra, and Delbi. The following indigo notification had been issued : " The Lieutenant-Governor has received the report of the Indigo Commission, and will in a few days lay before the government of India such suggestions as the circumstances set forth in the report appear to him to call for. Mean while the Lieutenant-Governor, with the full sanction and concurrence of the Governor-General in Council, calls the careful attention of all parties concerned in the following notification. "2. If any ryots, or other persons, believe that the Go ♦ernment wishes that the cultivation of indigo should cease, they are mistaken. The Government hopes that the cultivation of indigo will be continued. But the Govern ment is convinced that, on the lands of the ryots, it can be continued only with the free consent of the ryots them selves, and upon principles of justiee and of fair dealing on both sides. " 3. All ryots are hereby assured that those who aro not under any valid unexpired contract cannot now be com pelled, and will never be compelled to cultivate indigo against their own wishes, or to take advances for that purpose. "4. All ryots who are under a valid unexpired contract are warned that if they do not fulfil their engagements honestly, the : liable to actions in the civil court and to decrees for damages. _ "5. Both planter; and ryots are hereby solemnly warned to abstain from violence and intimidation. The planters are warned against attempting to mapel ryots by force to cultivate indigo. The ryots are warned against attempting by force or by intimidation of any kind to prevent the cul tivation of indigo by others, and against resisting the fulfil msnt of their own contracts. All persons seeking the en forcement of contracts or redress must do se in a lawful manner, through the constituted tribunals. " If the unlawful use of force is resorted to, or threat ened by any ill-advised persons, the magistrates will in stantly check and punish such misconduct. An ample force of military police has been placed at their disposal for this purpose. "7. All disputes between planters and ryots regarding the possession of lands, or regarding boundaries, and all disputes regarding lands claimed as Nij, or Khass, by plan ters on the one hand, and as their own ryottee lands by ryots on the other hand, must be decided in the usual course; that is to say, by the magistrate, under Act IV. of 1840, or by the collector, under Act X. of 1859, or by the civil courts, 8. It is not the intention of the Government of India to re-enact the temporary law for the summary enforcement of indigo contracts by the magistrates, which law will expire on the 4th of October next, corresponding with the 19th of Assin. After that date actions for breach of existing con tracts will be cognisable, as before, by the civil courts. But it is the intestion of the Government to provide as soon as possible for the more speedy adjudication of each cases by increasing the number of courts and by simplifying pro oedure. 9. All Zemindars and other persons concerned in the ownership or management of lands in which indigo cultiva tion has prevailed are required to exhort the ryots under their influence to refrain from violent or unlawful acts. From Madras we learn that Mr. Riddell, the Director of Indian Post-offices, has proposed to abolish the direct mail steamers to Madras and Cal cutta, and to have four wails a month direct to Bombay instead. The proposal is supported in Bombay and strongly condemned in Madras until railway communication with Bombay is completed. CALCUTTA COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Calcutta Englishman.)

The China 'Mail, of the former date, reports in its overland summary : By this mail our news is not of so satisfactory a nature as we could have wished, nor what we had expected after the late events in the north. It would appear that the Chinese Government is de termined to let no stone lie unturned by which it can gain time to hinder us. Lord Elgin and Baron Gros arrived at Tien-tsin on the 25th August, and Kweiliang arrived from Peking on the 30th, accom panied by Hang-fu, the Viceroy of Chi-li, who was appointed last year to meet Mr. Bruce, Hang chu, who was formerly hoppo at Canton, and there engaged in establishing the Foreign Inspectorate of Customs. Negotiations were immediately pro ceededu and eve r ythi ng appeare d to b e go i ng n q .satisfactorily, oit ewith, when, after a week's delay, the Imperial commissioners all at once intimated they had no power to sign the treaty. All further communications were stopped, and the army put in motion for Peking, and news had been received of the advanced portion having reached a place called Yang-tsun-yeh on the 10th. Lord Elgin also left Tien-tsin on the Bth for Peking. At Tien-tsin a large number of coolies and carts had been engaged to carry the baggage, but they had deserted on the road, and Lord Elgin's baggage was said to be in difficulties. Pehtang and some other places have been evacuated by our troops, and 2,000 will remain to garrison Tien-tsin. It is difficult to account for the turn events have taken in the north. Various rumours and sur mise' are afloat. By some it is thought that the Negotiations have come to a stop for the present, and a large portion of the expeditionary force is marching on or towards Pekin. Very shortly after Lord Elgin arrived at Tien-tsin, Kweiliang came down to settle matters with him, being accom panied by two other imperial commissioners— Hang-fu, the viceroy of Chi-li, who was sent down last year to meet Mr. Bruce, and Hang-chu, for merly hoppo at Canton, and there engaged with foreigners in opening the new customs service. For some time negotiations went on swimmingly, and it was determined that Lord Elgin should go up to Pekin with a body guard of only about five hundred men. I felt convinced that Mr. Parkes and Lord Elgin—with all their ability —were cook. ing their beef before it was caught ; but almost every one believed that the whole affair was settled, and no doubts were allowed on the subject. Suddenly, howojer, it turned out that matters were not in such a satisfac tory state as was supposed. One version is that Kweiliang said he had no power to sign a new treaty or agreement at Tien-tsin, and could only do so on the Peiho river, about 15 miles from Pe kin. The more probable account is that five mil lions of taels were demanded immediately as the first instalment of the indemnity money, and Kweiliang declared the Imperial Government had not the power to give it, and he had not the power to promise it. However that may be, it was re solved that almost the entire force should proceed to near Pekin, and the Ist division has already left. A number of carts and coolies for carriage were procured at Tien-tsin, but the coolies have deserted on the march, and even Lord Elgin's bag gage is said to be in difficulties. It is quite impossible to say whether the Chi nese really intend further resistance, or will give in on every point when they see the force ap proaching Pekin. (From the North China Herald Extra, Sept. 19.) Lord Elgin in the Granada and Baron Gros ar rived on the 25th ult. A few days afterwards, a communication was received from Kweiliang an nouncing his intention to come here ; he arrived on the 31st in company with Hang-fu, the viceroy of this province, and Hang-chu, formerly hoppo at Canton. Correspondence soon commenced between them and the plenipotentiaries, the precise nature of which has not transpired beyond those who are admitted behind the curtain. It is believed to have been the arrangement of certain preliminaries re garding the ceremonies on arrival at Pekin, the amount demanded as indemnity, &c. To all these it was reported they had consented on the 3d inst., but suddenly, on the ith, it was announced that Kwei liang declined to sign the memorandum embodying all that had been agreed to on the plea of his not having full powers to do so. Communications were then suspended, and the army put in motion to advance upon Pekin. The advanced column started on the Bth, detachments have followed, and the main body will march to-morrow. 2,000 men will remain to protect Tien-tsin. Lord Elgin and staff, including some favoured non-combatants, left on the 9th to overtake the advanced column. Ad miral Hope declined going. Their plans would appear to have been changed since the creation of the defences of Tien-tsin, which city they may subsequently have considered l i it politic to surrender, provided we passed the Taku forts, in the expectation that they could stay our further progress by their cunning diplomacy, or, failing in that, concentrate all their resources at Toong-chow, near to Peking, thus leaving a large tract of country for us to cover and keep open for communication with our base, whilst they have the power to harass us by clearing the country of sup plies, and rendering us dependent on our own commissariat and land transport. For a time these tactics may succeed, but we shall, doubtless, over come all difficulties and reach Peking, the only question being, when ? It is reported that San kolinsin has a large body of Tartars to oppose us between this place and Toong-chow, that there are also several intrenched camps on the road, and that opposition will be made to our advance on Peking as a last struggle. It is said that there are three other Princes of Tartary who are opposed to Sankolinsin's policy, and advocate peace ; but that he, in defiance of all, is resolved to make another throw for the stake. The people here are in great alarm within the last two days, and those who have been prominent in rendering their services by the supply of pro visions, &c., are now keeping out of the way, be lieving we shall be worsted, and they punished as traitors. Baggage carts and coolies have become scarce, and indeed not obtainable ; it is true up wards of a hundred have been loaded and sent on, a large portion of which carry Lord Elgin's baggage, stores, &c. Mr. 11. S. Parkes, with his peculiar aptness, soon discovered that there was a commissariat for the supply of Sankolinsin's army. Their services were promptly transferred to the allies ; a change very acceptable to them as they have a certainty of payment, and considerably more profit. Sept. 12.—News was received last evening from the advanced column. It reached Yang-tsun-yeh on the 10th, being 60 le from hence, and was still there on the 11th, heavy rain having prevented TEA.—Black—A moderate business has again been trans acted during the past fortnight, chiefly in the classes of which the stock has been composed for some months past. The two chops of new Ningchow which we reported as arrived in our last, are quoted as settled at 33 taels, but we believe that the fact is that the teaman has shipped them on his own account under advance. We have had no further arrivals on the market of this class, but a few chops of con tract have come to hand via Ningpo. Settlements are of Hoochow tea 1,377 chests, at 18 taels to 21 f taels ; 1,520 chests of Ningchow, reported at 33 taels ; and 150 packages Oolong, price not quoted ; in all, 3,047 chests, to which must be added 2,785 chests, making total for the fortnight 5,832 chests, and for the season to date 14,797 chests, against 88,330 chests to the corresponding period of last year, and leaving in stock 5,900 chests Congou and 800 chests Pekoe, against 44,400 chests Congou and 5,000 chests Pekoe. We quote— Congou : Oopack, none; new Ninchaw, 32 taels t 0133 teals; old Ningchow, 23 taels to 26 taels ; Hohow kinds, nsne ; Hoochow teas, 21 taels to 25 taels; old common Congo; 12 taels to 15 taels. Green : The settlements since last mail have been limited, being chiefly in the Pingsuey and Hoo chow sorts, the stocks of the former being now entirely ex hausted. From the other districts no new crop has yet ar rived, but we hear of unasserted Moyunes arrived at Niagpo. The cost of the crop is admitted to be low in the country, the rebels being the cause of its delay in coming down. Settlements are, of China tea, 6,813 packages, making for the season 24,825, against 97,507 last year, and leaving in stock 900 packages, against 74,000 last season. Of Japan tea the settlements are 1,305 packages, making to date 4,502 and leaving 8,000 in stock. We can give no reliable quota tions. The total export to Great Britain to date is 1,740,283 lbs., against 6,388,9811b5. last season. SILK.—In our last we spoke of the firmness of holders, caused by rep. tea robol Intetforouce; Ibis lasted tot about a week only, when further supplies reached this from the interior, producing an evident desire to realise existing stocks at previous quotations. The news of a " quiet mar ket at home "by the mail of 26th July, checked the desire to purchase, and reduced the rates for Taysaams and inferior Tsatlees about 10 taels per picul. True chop Tsatlees, how ever, maintained their former value. It is reported that the rebels proposed to levy a duty of ten per cent, on the value of the cargo of every boat, whether proceeding up or down the river. Even if this be true it is evident that the tax is easily evaded, as several boats have within the last few days reached Shanghai without having paid it. The arrivals, however, have not been quite so large as the previ ous fortnight. Total settlements to date (including Japan) 26,000 bales. The settlements are estimated at 4,000 bales, leaving a stock on the market of 5,000 bales. AUSTRALIA. We have received papers from Melbourne to Sept. 27. Everything was quiet in the political world. The ministerial crisis, the dead-lock be tween the two Houses of Legislature, and the im practicable land question, had all been surmounted. The parliamentary session had been brought to a close. On the 18th September the prorogation took place in the usual form. The Governor's speech was one of the ordinary common-place kind. The royal assent was given to the Land Bill and to a few minor bills of local interest merely. A bill to abolish pensions . to retiring ministers of the crown, and the Divorce Bill, have been reserved for her Majesty's decision. Respecting the gold fields, the Melbourne Herald says : "We have again this month to reiterate the stereotyped assertion that our yield of gold shows a considerable falling off as compared with the pre vious year. Since our August summary the escorts have brought to town 155,104 oz. of gold; while iduring the corresponding period of 1859 they con tributed 185,711 oz., and in 1858, 198,084 oz. Our shipments for the past month were 130,420 oz. In the corresponding period of 1859 only 122,980 oz. were exported, while in 1858 the quantity of the precious metal passes' through the custom house was 187,061 oz. The quantity of gold brought by the escorts during the present year shows a falling off of about 180,000 oz. as compared with the corre sponding period of 1859, the exact figures being 1,470,386 oz. 10 dwt. and 1,651,361 oz. 10 dwt. The shipments show an even greater diminution, the quantities being 1,478,188 oz. and 1,318,354 oz. respectively. The following from a correspondent of the Sydney Morning Herald is the latest intelligence of the war in New Zealand : " On Monday last a strong force of military, blue jackets, and militia, commanded by the Gene ral in person, proceeded to attack W. King in his stronghold, inland of Waitara, The force consisted of 40th, 65th, and naval brigade, and numbered up wards of 1,400 men. The expedition left town on the afternoon of Monday, and camped at a pah named Mahostahi, about four miles from the rebels' strongholds. On Friday morning they were joined by Major Nelson's division at Waitara, and at 6 a.m. attacked two strong pahs named Ngataipari rua and Kairau, which were found untenanted , a nd which were forthwith destroyed. The troops then proceeded to attack a pah called Hiurangi, situated on the edge of the forest. This was also found evacuated, but while in the act of destroying it a small varty of skirmishers of the light company of the 40th, N vlio were adavncing towards the bush, were fired upon a party of natives in ambush, I killing one man, named Ramsay (a private), and slightly wounding three others. The rebels allowed the skirmishers to advance wi thin a few yards of them, when they delivered their fi r e from, it is supposed, one hundred muskets, and it is a surprise to every one that our casualties w ere so few. A skirmish now took 'place between the oos and the rebels, who kept up a smart tire from tr thepbush, without effect, the balls whizzing harm near, sevessly over the heads of the men, but unpleasantly- ral shots falling near the general, wlao remained within range. The general wou ld not allow the men to follow the enemy into the bush, and after canister, rockets , &c. , the pouring in shell , g ra p e, order for retiring was sounded, and the forces, after destroying Hiurangi and another pah near to it, marched to camp at Waitara, and next day to town. I am sorry to say that Ramsay's body was not , which re covered, but was taken by the rebels with his rifle and ammunition ; also an officer's sword was dropped when the volley was fired. " A great many opinions have been expressed AUSTRALIAN COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. ((From the Melbourne Herald.) For many months past we have had to repeat our tale of depression and dulness, but this month we are fortunately justified in taking a more cheering and hopeful tone. Things are undeniably looking better, and though it would be premature to say that the tide of revived prosperity has set in, we may, at any rate, express our assurance that the ebb tide has reached its lowest mark. There has been more spirit in all departments of trade during the month past, and everybody is disposed to anticipate the future with more buoyant sentiments. Without entering further into the details of our import business, we need only remark that, as our capacity for consumption [increases, the excessive stocks under which the markets have groaned for months past will be gradually reduced ; and if shipments diminish in a corresponding ratio, our importers may hope soon to be about the most flourishing class in the community. Of the flour and grain market Mr. W. Lawrence supplies the following review for the four weeks ending the 22d September At the departure of the last English mail the market for breadstuffs was passing through one of those panics not usual to it, colonial grown wheat on the Ist August being Bs. 6d. per bushel, while on the Ist current it was only worth 6s. 6d., and flour having receded in same period about £5 per ton. This was followed by a sudden reaction ; and an advance on the minimum rates having been established is well maintained to the extent of £2 to £3 per ton ; the same result has been experienced in wheat, and the closing quotations are firm at an advance of 6d. to 9d. per bushel. In horse-feeding grain a slight im proved feeling is noticeable. The absence of grain and feeding barley having influenced an increased consumption of oats, transactions of a more extensive nature have re sulted, and some descriptions are more ready of sale for actual consumption, the best feature illustrated for a long period, and should no speculation interfere, so as to run up prices and check sales, there is a prospect of a considerable quantity going into consumption before the new crop is reaped, it being now pretty evident that stocks in consumers' hands are run out in town as well as upon the various goldfields. The weather has been favourable of late for the growing crops, and the reports from all parts of this, and from the neighbouring colonies, are of a favourable nature, and an early and abundant harvest is in promise. The rates of exchange remain without alteration. Drafts on England at 60 days' sight are issued at par. Drafts against gold, &c., are purchased at 1 per cent. discount. Freights on gold, per sailing vessels, 21d. per ounce ; per overland mail steamers, 1 per cent., deliverable at the Bul lion-office, Bank of England, including insurance and duty, 2 per cent. To Mauritius, Ceylon, or Indian ports, 8 per cent. ; to Hong Kong, 1- per cent. Insurance, 1 per cent. ; and overland, 11 per cent. The official returns of the imports and exports since the beginning of the current year, as compared with the returns of 1859, show the following results :—Decrease in esti mated value of imports to Sept. 15, £225,405 ; decrease in exports, £1,590,686. In 1859 the balance against the colony was £972,795 ; at present it is £2,338,031. During the last few weeks a decided improvement has taken place in the stock and share market, and while older stocks have rather declined in public favour, the shares of recently established mining companies have been steadily advancing in value. So marked has been the change during the last month, that at a rough calculation we may esti mate the improved value of mining stocks alone at £lOO,OOO. Of railway and bank stocks, little need be said.' Hobson Pays have been done at £5O to £53, and now it is not easy to find buyers at the latter rate. Gas shares at one time were a favourite investment, but they declined to 221 per cent. Debentures ItTe out of the market altogether. In 'surance shares aro only moderately inquired for, as the feeling in favour of mining enterprises is every day gaining ground. LOUIS PHILIPPE AND THE KING OF NAPLES. The Revue de Paris publishes the following curious correspondence, extracts from which have already appeared in our columns. The first is a letter addressed to the present King of Naples by Louis Philippe shortly after the revolution of July, which occurred three months before the accession of King Ferdinand 11. The second document is the reply of the King of Naples. Louis Philippe writes as follows : "It is, perhaps, Providence which once more smiles upon the family of St. Louis that has called your Majesty to the throne of Naples at a time when the storm of revolution has been let loose over Europe. The broken health of his Majesty Francis could not have withstood the repeated shocks which suc ceed each other, and the end of which God only knows; but I have long heard your Majesty praised for energy and foresight, and I do not doubt that you will happily weather the storm, for your Majesty is under the necessity of resisting at the same time the dangerous insinuations from without which might urge you to an anti-national policy fatii to your interests and to the interests of the people you govern, and the internal pressure which blind passions might exercise upon the free action of your Government. lam acquainted with all the insinuations and severe counsels with which your Majesty is beset to compromise you into a blind line of policy, but I am also sure that your Majesty will display sufficient firmness and fore sight not to be led astray. " We are in a period of transition, when often a little must be relinquished so that all may not be lost, and it would give me real joy to learn that your Majesty has given up a system of compression and of severity which caused many days of intense agony to your late august father, and which often banished the smile from the lips of the enlightened King Ferdinand I. Let your Majesty imitate the system in France ; you will be a gainer in every respect ; for, by sacrificing a little authority, you will insure peace to your kingdom and stability to your house. The symptoms of agitation are so strongly pronounced and numerous in Italy that an outbreak may be expected sooner or later , _ eb tt ac r c n o i rd ingly as the stern measures of Prince M may hasten or adjourn it. Your Majesty will be d to drawn into the current if you are not bp p are u r in two stem the tide, andyour house will be burst either by the revolutionary s tream or by the mea sures of repression the Vie nna Cabinet may think fit to adopt. " Your Majesty may save everythie tng he by wishes antici pating voluntarily and with for, if and wants of your people if the revolution breaks out in Italy, Austria will try to act as abso lute mistress, and I shall be compelled to take steps I should wish t o avoid at any price ; and in this I allow will am sure Englan d, if she does not anticipatem not leave me alone, for neither of us can e Austria to extend her influence still more over th e Ital i an pe ninsula. I tru st, m y dear broth er , cousin, and dear nephew, that you will think over the wishes I ha ve the happiness to express to your Majesty, and that you LOUIS PA will trust to rayILIPPE experience. " ." To the above letter the King of Naples sent the following reply " T o imitate France, : if ever France can be imi tated, I should have to precipitatew which my myself into th a t ich policy of Jecobinism for people has proved feloniously guilty more than once against the house of its Kings.

We are not of this century. The Bourbons are ancient, and if they were to try ( ROAD; MONDAT.• • Mr. Saunders resumed his sittings at the Tem perance-hall in this village this afternoon. The public,: interest in his proceedings, which from hie first day has been waning, reached its lowest poi t2t to-da y , there bei ng on ly an audience of about a score persons. The Wilts policeman stationed at Road exid two members of the Somersetshire constabulary were in attendance, but there were no chiefs, superinten dents, or inspectors of either force present. The mysterious Mr. Pollaky was there, and took: no,t.es of several parts of the proceedings. Mr. Saunders commenced by reiterating a sta ment he has frequently made before, that he vircu o there as a private gentleman, but that he did happerv• to be also a magistrate of the county of Wilts, and. of course, if he were called to exercise his powero as a magistrate, he was ready to do his duty. He proceeded to state that the house at Road which . 1 10 was now occupying was placed at the disposal 01 the Wilts constabulary by Mr. West at or about the time the murder was first discovered, but that the• offer had never been accepted. On its being ma d e known to Mr. Foley t hat he (Mr. Saunders) had entered on possession of the premises, Mr. Foley proposed to make a polic e station of the place at the es p once, but he had declined to accede to -ate that pro stpo sition. Mr Saunders N% his inquiry. he had taken previously ht, and f.n some detailing interviews he ha , in an instances obtained, with per3suogns high thority, the Attorney-General, Clain hies (acting in the absence of Six of the Metropolitan Police), the Lord C Mr. Clive, of the Home-o ffi ce, &c. In conseque_ a of what transpired at these (interviews, he 01 dhanCeln.:toeur, Saunders) attended the usual monthly sessions 8. Bradford, and after the regular business was over, a private council was held between four magistrates at which no pledge of secrecy was imposed, Etna therefore he felt at liberty to state what took place. The magistrates present were the Rev. J. H. Brad ney, Mr. E. Edmonds, Rev. J . Wilkinson, and him self. He communicated certain things to those ma gistrates, and the result of that private council, as he understood it, was that he was at liberty to take Inspector Pitney, and any policeman of the Brad ford division he might think fit over to Road to make investigation into the circumstances of the murder. This course was subsequently acquiesced in by Capt. Meredith, the chief constable. It ap peared, however, that he had misunderstood or mis construed the views of his brother magistrates. He would, however, state that, not having the slightest confidence in the proceedings hitherto conducted by the Wiltshire constabulary, under the guidance of Capt. Meredith, he had feltthat it would be folly in him (Mr. Saunders) to undertake any inquiry unless he was supported by some one in whom he could place reliance. He accordingly secured the assistance of Mr. Hughes, chief of the Bath police, with a confidential man of his selection. This fact was communicated to his brother magistrates, and he considered that he was acting with their full sanction and concurrence. By every word he had said in that room and by every word he had writ ten he was prepared to abide as a man of probity and a man of honour. It was extremely necessary for him to take care in the statements he made, be cause he knew not how this matter would end. The result of the meeting of the magistrates at Brad ford was a letter to the Times, stating that what he had asserted was incorrect, or, in other words, that he had assumed a sanction for his proceedings by his brother magistrates which was never ac corded him. He would now ask them to say What they did sanction him to do. If what he bad done did not meet their approval, let them, as men of honour and gentlemen, say what they did sanction him to do. At any rate, he might say that what he had done was done with their full knowledge, if not concurrence, and he thought he might say that no doubt could be entertained that what he had done had been done with the full knowledge of every person in authority in London. His brother magistrates had, however, on Saturday thought fit to withdraw that sanction or concur rence—or whatever else it might be—which he understood they had given him. They saw hint there that day therefore without the assistance of a single member of the Wilts constabulary, with the exception of the local policeman. He had, however, the assistance of two of the Somersetshire force, who were there under the full sanction of the superintendent at Frome, and ready to act under his (Mr. Saunders's) orders. After complaining that Millard, an officer of the Wilts force, who bad been sent to London on special service by him, had been recalled, Mr. Saunders appealed to the re porters to set his conduct fairly before the public, and then entered on a statement of what he had done in the matter since Saturday. Among other things he said that he had been to Bristol yester day, and had there been to several public institu tions. He had visited a gaol where he was locked up—(laughter)—but was afterwards liberated. Mr. Saunders then stated that he was prepared to re ceive any information from anybody who was de sirous of giving it; but no one volunteered. Ques tions had been asked as to who he was, and he would therefore just give a short autobiography. He was a native of the town of Bradford. He went to school there in his early days, and then went to Warminster, and thence to Westminster School. From there he went to the University of Oxford, and became a member of a certain college, on the books of which his name still appeared. After passing his examination he entered at Lincoln's inn, and in 1831 he was called to the bar. In 1833 the then Lord Chancellor put him in the commis sion of the peace, and from that time to the pre sent he had been a magistrate for the county . of Wilts. Whether he was engaged in a commercial undertaking with the nobleman holding the highest office under the Crown did not concern the public. He was, however, known to the Directors of the Bank of England, and had certain private accounts with bankers at London, Bath, and Brighton. • ho did not feel it necessary to say more than that ral was an original member of the Royal Agricalus Society, a member of the Royal Horticultura l o ciety, and that his name was Thos. Busk Saunders. The inquiry was then adjourned till Wednesday.
