THE SUN. WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 20, 1858. The objects of the " hard calculators" in support ing.the Bank Charter Act of 1844, and stripping the Directors of any direction in the regulation of the issues, if not previously ascertained, would be rendered manifest by the vituperative articles which the Times has recently fulminated against the autho rities of Threadneedle-street, for refusing to reduce the rate of discount below 3 per cent. The more the better, perhaps, because it is compelled to admit that, in so doing, it has "the hearty concurrence of a large portion of our leading financiers." Because the Bank parlour cannot be led in any direction by the Printing-house-square coterie, and because they have " the heftily concurrence of a large portion of our leading financiers," there is no censure too severe, no sarcasm too pointed, to be hurled at their devoted heads ! It is an impeachment of the would be autocracy of the Times which can never be for gotten, nor scarcely forgiven, unless after the most abject submission, and adequate pledges to follow the course indicated by " the leading journal" on all future occasions. In fact, the Governor and Direc tors would have mere sinecure appointments, all trouble being taken off their hands by the editor and staff of the Thunderer. It is not often, however, that there are such complaints against prudence. They have never been preferred against a refusal to follow the market rate from 10 to 8,7, or even 6 per cent. " The hard calculators" have not, while discount remains high, squeezed the last shilling from the hard hands of the industrial population. Then prudence on the part of the Directors was the virtue most highly to be lauded. There were no elabo rate arguments to prove that if they did not reduce their prices in accordance with the current rates, they would also be deprived of the power of rais ing them when it might be considered desirable to check undue speculation. "Phrases of this de scription," uttered on behalf of prudence, are not, under such circumstances, " the perfection of com monplace." Even the Times itself gives its adhe rence to the principle. It is, however, exactly at a time like the present that the Bank should resist to the utmost extent of its power, the inflation of the money market, and with it the creation and temporary success of a number of bubble schemes. In fact, as we have repeatedly stated, a mania is as essential to the attainment of the " hard cal culators'" objects as a panic. Without some such event, the goods or securities purchased at really " alarming sacrifices" could not be disposed of on extravagant terms, or preparations completed for taking due advantage of the inevitable mania that mustfollow in due course, when the money invested by those who have not the advantage of being "hard calculators" in the dearest market must again be realised in the cheapest. The sooner the Bank follows the lead the sooner will the smash come— too " cheap money', produces too dear money. If money were not reduced to 1 per cent. out-of doors, it would never go up to 20 ; if kept above 2 per cent. in T hreadneedle -street, it could not at any time reach 10, and perhaps the highest variations would be between 3 and . 7, as for a century and a quarter they were between 4 and 5. Suppose, exempli gratia, that th e B ank could be bullied or cajolled into following every alleged change in the rate of discount out-of-doors, is it possible that the quotations could not be cooked just as easily as they were respecting the sliding scale during the days of the Corn-laws ? Are there not persons who would be ready and willing to do so, if they could thereby " put money in their purse ?" And is it not rather unreasonable to insist on the Bank lending its own money at a lower rate than it is pleased to set upon it, more especially as it finds customers for all it is willing to advance at the higher price ? There are still according to the last return £14,817,709, the reduction within the week being only £304,372 ; while to assimilate the profits between 21 and 3 per cent., there should be an addition of at least £2,500,000 in the private securities. We may also remind the Times that such a reduction invariably takes place at this time of year, in conse A uence of the repayment to the Bank, at or immedi It ely before the payment of the divßend,for their , dvances on stock. The bullionist organ also asserts that "by a cer tain set of persons, the lesson of non-interference, as regards corn or cotton, has been learnt only by rote, and all the old work must be gone through again, to show that it applies equally to gold ! " Why, that is all that the monetary free trader's have ever required. We ask the Times to show tis a "single instance in which, during a scarcity of either commodity, a larger quantity was abstracted from the general market and stored up under a distinct act of Parliament, to increase the profits of hard calculators and compel the consumers to pay a famine price. Verily the Times frequently puts forward awkward arguments, which, like two edged swords, are more dangerous to friends than to opponents, but seldom if ever has it resorted to one more clear and decisive against the ill-omened and ill-advised Act of 1844. The marvels of Free-trade Commerce, and of our vast emigration, are, no doubt, intimately con nected. To our best customer, the United States, we have sent, within the last forty-two years, nearly three millions of emigrants ; and to British America upwards of one million, the half of both these having left our shores between 1847 and 1854 ; while the recent emigration to Australia has amounted to upwards of six hundred thousand persons. Where our countrymen settle most our exports are immeasurably the largest. India has had but few of our emigrants, partly from unavoidable causes, but partly also through the discouraging policy of the East India Company, and our exports thither have amounted to hardly 2s. per head of the population. To the States and British America, on the contrary, they have amounted to ten times that sum; and to Aus tralia our exports have been in more than twenty times the proportion that they have been to Ame rica. In the latter country there was, of course, little local manufacturing, and the British emi grants constitute nearly the whole of the popula tion. The paper read by Mr. T. M. MACKAY, of the great Liverpool firm of JAMES BAINES and Co., on the subject of emigration, was full of many inte resting facts, but the great fact that in the forty two years we have sent forth from among ourselves a population equal to that of any of the smaller European kingdoms, and one equal to that of Lon don, or nearly so, within the last seven years, is the most surprising. It has been quietly done. With the exception of the exodus from the Irish famine and the " rush" to the gold fields, it has gone on so gradually that it has produced little visible effect on the surface of the country. It has been a kind of insensible perspiration of our body politic, and has, no doubt, prevented much social disease which we must otherwise have endured. Ire land has perhaps been almost, we may say, saved by emigration taking her sons to the lands of abundant work and good pay, and by the Encum bered Estates Court putting the land at home into hands which could afford to pay reasonable wages for reasonable work. Her contributions to emi gration have, as might be expected, considerably diminished. In 1851 her sons composed nearly 76 per cent. of the total emigrants ; in 1857 they did not amount to 41 per cent. There is one fact respecting the Irish emigrants to which Mr. MACKAY did almost poetical justice, and rightly—their affectionate interest in those they left behind them. We are accustomed to he s ar enough of the dirt and improvidence, the turbu ' lence and the illiteracy of the Irish peasantry, and to contrast it with the intelligence and supposed higher morality of the Scotch peasantry. But there are two sides to almost every case. If Paddy marries early and supports his children on the food of his pigs, his illegitimate offspring are not above a sixth or seventh of that of his prudent northern neighbour. If he keeps the Sun day less strictly, and could not adduce a text of Holy Writ for any of the five points, or even for transubstantiation and the Papal supremacy, he can remember his poor rela tions to the amount of nearly a million per annum ; that immense sum have the hardworking and successful Irish emigrants abroad actually remitted to support or comfort their relatives in their native land, or to enable them to join them across the seas ! Well might Mr. MACKAY remark, " it is beyond all human calculation to imagine the amount of misery which this prodigious fund has not merely relieved, but absolutely annihilated; and whatever may be the creed of those whose chief anxiety is to share the blessings of Providence with their poor kindred, rest assured that in that day when the Almighty discerner of the human heart makes up his jewels, such warm-hearted followers of their Divine Master will not be forgotten." The story of the numbers of each class which have emigrated is one of some interest, nor is it without instruction. " Labourers" form of course the substance of all emigration. Not only do they most of all want to better their condition, but they carry everywhere the means of doing it. They can always work, and in the great resorts of emi gration the want of workmen will be always felt. The man with hands and arms used to labour can always aid in the subjugation of unreclaimed nature, and, whether it be the prairie, or the Canadian forest, or the gold-field, he is at home. He can raise food at least ; he can raise more than he con sumes ; he can send us the surplus, and if he gets but a sixth or seventh of what we pay for it, he has set our looms to work to that extent, and has found employment for our shipbuilder, our mer chant, our seaman, and all the classes who work for them. The stalwart labourer and his family are and always will be the most numerous emi grants, and the most likely to succeed. Gentlemen, especially professional gentlemen, alas, of all kinds, are the other and the hopeless extreme. Eleven hundred of this class have sought refuge in America from their overcrowd e d ranks in this country, and twelve hundred in Aus tralia. Let such gentlemen be told, if they need to be told it again, that the colonies is not the place for them. Capital, mechanical skill, or strong arms, alone can succeed there. Very few doctors are needed where healthy employment and fresh air make all robust ; very few lawyers where dealings are simple, and the relations of property as yet but little complicated; very few clerks and scribes of all sorts where each man can keep all the accounts he wants ; and as to gentlemen of the author class, why a few printers and one editor are quite enough, and more than enough, to publish all the news, where politics are nothing, where wonders are those of nature around them only, and where accidents and offences are not numerous enough to fill half a column a week. It is pleasing to learn that the efforts of the Emi gration Commissioners have not been in vain. When they first commenced their task the height between decks of an emigration ship was not suffi cient to permit a man of moderate stature to walk upright; the provisions were one pound of bread per day, uneven pounds . of potatoes as an equivalent „ =_Al b- slkilt:i r lip qb & 7 /3 Fr, " Al 11110 ? t e-(1'. 41111111160 ' C-• • jah • U,„ . ” 44:intoOP 7jo ERE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 20, 1858 light and ventilation were not thought of, it was a kind of middle passage for free-men, and of course the suffering and mortality were in proportion. Now, the tallest passenger is at ease between decks with eight feet to separate them ; healthy and ade quate food is required, the vessels are thoroughly surveyed, their seaworthiness from the highest rigging to the keel tested; medicines, water, food, sleeping-berths, cabins—everything examined, and the poor emigrant's voyage is now a compara tive luxury. So energetic have Captain SCITOM BERG and his small staff of 13 men been, that in five years and a-half in the case of Government emi grants (not less than 100,000) every article in their kits has been examined, and altogether 2,031 ships have been surveyed and despatched, counting 2,516,259 tons, and containing 789,581 passengers, from Liverpool only. The result of all this is the recent wonderful yet solid growth of our Colonial empire. Australia and Canada are now two important outlying sections of our country. They are not conquests but popu lous transatlantic Vice-Royalties—they strengthen us and are strengthened by us—they assist us and we them. Perfectly free, they are yet closely bound to us, and if they borrow from us political institutions and laws, we also must borrow from them perfect religious and civil freedom. Universal Suffrage and the Ballot, and a church uncontrolled and unpaid by the State in Canada and Australia will almost certainly hasten the adoption of like measures at home. LATEST NEWS. OPENING OF THE PRUSSIAN CHAMBERS. The following telegram was received at Mr. Reuter's office, Oct. 20 : BERLIN, WEDNESDAY. SPEECH OF HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE as many horses, with all their ammunition and camp equipage. The pursuit was continued as far as prudence permitted, but the villagers they have been plundering are performing the work of execu tion on the robbers without our help, and out of the 1,000 who met us on the 30th August, there are in all likelihood at this moment not 300 alive. The strife is very fearful ; so far as we are con cerned, it is inevitable. The guilt rests with those who brought it on. COLONEL ROBERTSON'S FORCE. On the 4th of September (after the capture of Powree), Colonel Robertson, of the 25th Bengal Native Infantry, with a light flying detachment, quitted the main force under his command and pushed on in pursuit of the enemy. The pursuers' approach had not been observed, and about two hours before daybreak on the sth they occupied the camp near the village of Bejapore. At the first streak of dawn the conflict began. The infantry doubled up, and pushed on through the village, when the enemy found themselves attacked on all sides at the time they were preparing to cook their morning meal and be off again, and were never dreaming of danger. The conflict lasted for a couple of hours. The camp on the south side of the village lay on the side of a hill sloping down to the river. On the opposite side of this were many deep ravines and water-courses, with a dense jungle beyond. The enemy having broken and dispersed everywhere attempted to cross and escape into the wood, but were so hotly pursued by our troops as to be cut down in multitudes : further pursuit was impossible. Betwixt 400 and 500 bodies now strewed the field, our loss consisting of Licut. Fawcett, killed ; Capt. Poore and Lieut. Hanbury, wounded ; five men killed, and 10 or 12 wounded. The two portions of the force being once more united, were expected to be joined by Gen. Napier, and to continue in pursuit of Tantia Topee, who had by this time (9th Sept.) been turned aside from the main road by Brigadier Smith. The insurgent leader, it will be seen, was subsequently defeated by Gen. Michel. PRINCE REGENT. After an introduction, in reference to the accep tation of the Regency, the Prince Regent said : That he has, obedient to the Royal wish and in consideration of the existing circumstances, and the statutes (Vorschriften) of the country, accepted the burden and responsibility of the Regency. It is his serious intention to do henceforth what the Constitution and the laws of the country re quire, and expects that the Chambers will do the same. Finally, the Prince Regent promises to commu nicate to both Chambers the documents relating to the Regency, and to give the necessary expla nations. VIENNA, OCT. 19. In obedience to a decree published in the official Gazette, the National Bank of Austria, from the Ist of November, will discount bills of exchange and liquidate payments on public securities in new Rotes. The old bank notes will be received at the rate of 105. NAPLES, OCT. 16. The pretended despatch of M. Carafa, having reference to the existing relations between the Neapolitan Government and the Western Powers, is officially contradicted. PARIS, OCT. 19. Under the date of this day, from Hamburg, we learn that England is again pressing for the speedy abolition of the Stade Dues. Privy Councillor Lang will shortly set out for London invested with powers for the arrangement of this affair. FRENCH FUNDS.—CLOSING PRICES. PARIS, OCT. 19. Three per Cents. 73.10 THE BOMBAY MAIL. We have received letters and papers from Bom bay to the date of September 24. The following is from the summary of the Overland Bombay Standard : THE MUTINY AT MOOLTAN. What has just occurred in the Punjaub will, we think, still further help to uproot from the mind of the old Indian the insane conceit that we can ever again trust a Sepoy army. At the commencement of the mutiny (May, 1857) the whole of the troops then in the Punjaub were regarded as so disloyal that the great bulk of them were disarmed, and ac cordingly a heavy force of Europeans has been kept from active service to maintain a guard over some 15,000 mutineers, who only waited the opportunity of becoming murderers. Of these the 62d and 69th N. 1., with a considerable body of native artillery men, were left at Mooltan under the surveillance of the 3d Bombay Europeans and 150 Royal Artil lery. Seeing how vain it was to dream of rearm ing them, Government had at length resolved to have them disbanded, despatching them to their homes in small parties of twenty at a time. The order was read out on parade, and seemed to afford general satisfaction. A report just after this got into circulation that the measure had been adopted with the view of getting the men detached in par ties, and cutting them to pieces on their way to Lahore. • On the morning of the 31st August the rumour ran that their apprehensions on this point were such that they had determined not to quit their cantonment. All the guards were put on the alert, and early in the forenoon it became known that an attack had been determined by the mutineers, the firing of the midday gun to be the signal. The 69th, armed with clubs, pieces of wood, fragments of their beds, or anything they could lay their hands on, ru shed from their lines howling like fiends, and made direct for the Artillery barracks, their ob ject being to obtain possession of the guns. A volley from the carbines of the artillerymen and drivers made them pause. The native artillerymen and 62d made a dash at the same tune towards the stable guard immediately opposite the guns. They managed to possess themselves of a considerable number of muskets, and then joined the 69th. The former corps had gone close up to the Irregular Cavalry, obviously expecting them to join. In place of this they were at once charged and cut to pieces by their expected friends—a squadron afterwards followed in pursuit. By this time the 3d Bombay Europeans were rapidly arriving in parties, when a general fusillade commenced, and the rebels began to decamp in all directions. Three hundred and fifty were at once laid dead on the field ; one hundred were captured and shot. We had not at the same time wholly escaped. At the first burst five men of the Royal Artillery were killed, as was Lieut. Males, a gallant and popular officer, adjutant of the Bombay Europeans, who had pushed ahead of his men, and his revolver missing fire, he was clubbed to death. Brigadier Far quharson and some 15 Europeans were wounded. Some hours seem to have been lost before the pursuit was commenced. Half the fugitives had gone southward in the direction of Bhawulpore, the remainder north-westwards towards Lahore, hemmed in, however, on both sides by the rivers Chenaub and Sutlej bordering the Baree Doab. The pursuing party consisted of detachments of the 6th Irregular Cavalry, 11th Punjaub Infantry, and Mounted Police. The Bhawulpore party, on being hotly pursued, separated into two bodies, 100 of them taking refuge on a marshy island. Here they were watched all night ; next morning 46 were captured, and afterwards executed, twenty-eight were drowned, sixteen escaped for the time, but for the time only. The other portion, about 3011, were pushed into a bend in the river. Here they kept together in parties, fighting desperately to the last ; 250 were killed or captured; fifty driven into the river ; the whole 400 bding thus accounted for. There were about 300 who took the direction of Lahore. They succeeded in crossing the Dewannah Canal, and took refuge on a recess in the Sutlej ; they managed to escape from this, and were able subsequently to defeat a portion of their pursuers. The villagers had now risen to support us in all directions, and on the afternoon of the sth the re mainder of the mutineers were surrounded and 1, will l 50 s extinguished. Of th e w h o l e 1,431 w h o w ere a t Mooltan, 450 were di spose d o f at first, 700 in the pursuit, peeinadlilly b ; 12 e 1 ae d e e e c u l n in t e e d d to j oin; the re mainder ROHILCUND. The neighbourhood of Wareldy having been for some time troubled with a body of rebels, supposed about 1,000 strong, with some guns, arrangements were made to dispose of them. On the 28th they attacked a party of our people engaged in fortifying a police station. We were only able to act on the defensive, when the assailants were driven off with the loss of some thirty of their number. The force being reinforced on the 30th of August, marched out to meet the enemy. It consisted of 230 of the 2d Punjaub Light Cavalry, 150 of the 17th, and 100 of the 24th Punjaub Infantry, 100 of the Kumaon levy. The enemy opened with round shot and grape, and w e h a d no guns to reply. Our men were order e d t o a d vance r apidly without at tempting to fire, and when within 30 yards they charged with a wild hurrah, carrying everything before them. The artillerymen were cut down at their guns, which in a moment changed hands ; they were four in number, excellent brass 9-poun ders. The cavalry decamped at once, the others, unable to escape with sufficient speed, suffered ter ribly, and 300 dead were counted on the field. We had two killed and 28 wounded, and Capt. Browne, the commander of the fort, lost an arm. We cap tured three elephants, and about 50 bullocks and THE QUEEN'S RETURN. The superintendent of the Great Northern Railway presents his compliments to the Editor of The Sun, and begs to inform him that the Royal train conveying her Majesty left York at 2.16 p.m., being one minute after the stipu lated time. EDINBURGH, TUESDAY EVENING. The Queen left Balmoral this morning at 9 o'clock. The weather, which had been stormy, was now fair, and, although the Grampian mountains were covered with snow, her Majesty travelled in an open carriage by Balater and Aboyne to Ban chory, a distance of 30 miles. The Queen was re ceived at the Banchory Station of the Deeside Rail way .by Mr. John Duncan, chairman, and Mr. Patrick Davidson, deputy chairman of the com pany. Capt. St. George and two companies of the 78th and 92d Highlanders were present as a guard of honour. The Royal train arrived at the Ferryhill Junc tion of the Scottish North-Eastern Railway at 1 o'clock, and was received by the Lord Provost of Aberdeen, Sheriff Watson, Mr. Stirling of Kippen davie, chairman, and Mr. Birnie, Mr. Nicol, and Captain Christie, directors of the company. Capt. Brown with a detachment of the 93d Highlanders were a guard of honour, and there was a large as semblage of spectators. The Queen left at five minutes after 1, and touchedat Stonehaven ; Sir T. Gladstone, of Fasque, Sir J. S. Forbes, and Mr. A. Thompson, of Ban chory, received her Majesty. Capt. Fielding, with companies of the 72d and 94th Regiments, were present as a guard of honour. The Royal train reached Perth seven minutes after 4, being exact time. Lord Mansfield, Lady Stormont, the Pro vost of Perth, Mr. Robert Bruce of Kennet, and a large concourse of persons were on the platform ; the band of the Royal Perthshire Rifles played the Queen's Anthem. The train in passing through Stirling was slowed whilo a Royal salute was being fired from the Castle guns. The chairman of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway and directors of the Scottish Central Company accompanied the train. The Queen arrived at Edinburgh at 24 minutes after 6, being exact time, the mean varia tion of the whole distance having been only three minutes. Mr. S. Clarke conducted the arrange ments with his usual ability. Lord Stanley accom panies the Queen. The Prince Consort and Royal children are in excellent health. The Queen was received at St. Margaret's Sta tion, Edinburgh, by the Duke of Buccleuch, the Duke of Richmond, Viscount Melville, the Lord Provost, the Sheriff, the Chairman and Directors of the North British Railway, &c. The 16th Lancers, the Royal Artillery, the Royal Sussex Militia and Nottinghamshire Militia formed the military escort and guard. The Royal party, which includes Prince Alfred, proceeded to Holyrood Palace in closed carriages, reaching there at 6.40. Royal salutes were fired from the Castle and Her Majesty's ship Edinburgh, in Leith Roads. RAILWAYS IN THE ISLE OF WIGHT. FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. In defiance of all that even Punch can say to the contrary, the inhabitants of the towns of Newport and Cowes, in public meetings assembled, have almost unanimously voted that the introduction of railways to connect Newport with Cowes, Ventnor, Shanklin, and Ryde, would be highly beneficial to those towns, and the island generally. A public meeting was held at Newport o n th e Bth inst., when a resolution to that effect was carried, only one hand being held up against it. A line of railway was then proposed, but, as by it persons at Ventnor wishing to visit Newport or Cowes would be taken to within three' miles of Ryde, and have to have another five mile turn before theyreached Newport, it met with great opposition, and, on a show of hands, it became very doubtful whether the ma jority was in favour or against it. On the 15th, a public meeting was held in the Town-hall, West Cowes, when a resolution in favour of the introduc tion of railways into the island was carried unani mously. The Corkscrew Line, as the then proposed Vent nor, Shanklin, Sandown, and Ryde to Newport line is called, has very few friends in Cowes or Newport, and the few who support it only do so from being told that, if they do not, Ryde will have an inde pendent line to Ventnor. That this is all fudge a very few days will prove, as a company is being formed to construct a railway between Cowes and Newport ; and, as the land is almost a dead level and of very little value, and as the amount of traffic on it will be 10 times as much as on any other line in the island, it will not want parties to support it. Only show the public that it will pay and the thing is accomplished; and, as there can be no doubt of this part paying, Punch will be at fault, as there will, to a certainty, be " a railway in the Isle of Wight." The Prince and Princess of Leiningen arrived in town on Monday. The Prince went in the afternoon to Southampton. The princess, attended by Lady Anna Maria Dawson, returned to Frogmore. His Excellency Count Kielmansegge arrived at the Hanoverian Legation in Grosvenor-place, yesterday afternoon, from Germany, to resume his diplomatic duties. The Marquis and Marchioness of Clanricarde are expected to arrive in town to-day, from visit* , the Marquis of Bristol at Ickworth Park, near Bury St. Edmunds. Lady Harriet de Burgh is staying with the Earl and' Countess of Cork, at Marston House, Somerset. The Marquis and Marchioness of Abercorn and the Ladies Hamilton arrived at Chesterfield House last evening, from Tunbridge Wells. Maria Marchioness of Ailesbury has returned to town from a tour of visits. -- The Earl and Countess of Derby are entertaining a succession of distinguished visitors at Knowsley Park, their seat in Lancashire. The Earl Granville arrived in town last night from Carlsbad, after a tour of the German spas. The coun tess left Carlsbad for Rome the same day that the noble earl left for home. The Earl and Countess of Malmesbury left the noble earl's shooting quarters near Fort William, N. 8., on Monday morning, and yesterday arrived at Knowsley Park, Lancashire, on a visit to the Earl and Countess of Derby. The Countess Brownlow has returned to town from visiting Sir Edward and Lady Cust at Seacowe Castle, Cheshire. CRYSTAL PALACE.—The managers of the Palace, seeking an attraction for the million at the close of what has proved a very brilliant season, have decided upon giv ing a military fete on Monday next, the anniversary of the battle of Balaklava, when all the troops now in London who have received the Crimean medal or Victoria Cross are invited to attend, and the services of the bands of the Grenadier, Coldstream, and Scots Fusileer Guards have been secured to aid the musical arrangements. DlsmlssaL OP TIIE SUPERINTENDENT OF TILE TIT'DDERs FIELD Po LlCE.—Yesterday afternoon, a special meeting of the Huddersfield Improvement Commissioners was held, to consider the report of the Watch Committee as to the alleged defalcations of Mr. Superintendent Beaumont. It was stated that there were upwards of sixty charges of petty peculation against him, three or four of which had been proved so satisfactorily to the committee that they recommended his dismissal. Most of the offences were stated to have consisted in granting bail in cases of drun kenness to the extent of 12s. or 14s. and upwards, he having no power to grant such bail ; and in neglecting to summon the offenders, or to account for the money he received as bail. His manner of keeping the books was likewise stated to be characterised by the grossest carelessness and irregularity, he being in the habit of receiving money at any time and in any service, wi thou t p ory roe f e o: n s g entry. Mr. Beaumont . sent resignation to the board, but it was refused by a majo- P ri a ty e ! r o s' f 18 to 1 ; and it was resolved to discharge him'from hignalsefr atotrdian crimin ally against 11142. , THE MHOW FIELD FORCE. At the date of our last General Roberts had driven Tantia Topee, with the last fragments of the Gwalior Contingent, across the Chumbul. He nar rowly escaped Brigadier Parke, who had taken up the pursuit, by the sudden rising of the river, and got off from Col. Lockhart before his force could make up with him. He-was now without guns or stores of any kind, wandering about in Central India environed with enemies, and in as hopeless a plight as well could be. Suddenly he made a dash on the large walled town of Jahlra Puttun, and captured it on the 29th ult. The chief did his ut termost to resist, and when:unable to maintain him self after his troops joined the enemy, escaped to our camp. A ransom of £lOO,OOO to protect them from plunder was exacted from the merchants and banicers, and forty new brass guns were taken pos session of. The Nana Sahib was proclaimed governor of the country. An attempt was made to get possession of Gagrone, a strong fort about two miles distant, when the governor shut his gates and bid them defiance. On the approach of our troops, Tantia Topee now judged it expedient to decamp, taking - with him the artillery and trea sure he had just secured. He was attacked on the 15th betwixt Rhagur and Beora by the Mhow Field Force under Gen. Michel, and defeated, and his troops dispersed, with the loss of 27 of his guns. The rebels made a running fight of it. Their artil lery stood at two points successively, without hap pily doing us any injury. It is remarked in truth as marvellous that the shower of balls which these guns threw into the advancing column when de ploying produced no casualties. The impetus of our attack .arried all before it, the enemy losing 27 guns abandoned at intervals. The cavalry, headed by Sir Wm. Gordon, of the 17th Lancers, made tremendous havoc amongst the fugitives. 300 dead were left upon the field. On our part we had three men wounded. Lieutenant G. M. Shaw, of the 3d Light Cavalry, struck by the sun during the pursuit, fell down dead, and this is the sole casualty we have to. deplore. The following congratulatory order was issued : " Field Force Orders, Sept. 15, 1858. The Major-General congratulates the troops on the bril liant result of this day's operations against the enemy in the plains east of Rajghur—a success achieved by their steady gallantry and endurance. The result has been the capture of 30 guns, and all their material, with severe loss to the enemy, and their utter dispersion. (Signed) "J. H. CHAMPION, Captain, Assistant Adjutant-General." OUDE. From Oude we have scarcely any intelligence. There are still believed to be some sixty or seventy thousand in arms in that district against us, with sixty guns in their hands. But the number alone seems formidable ; they are expected to vanish like smoke on the first burst of the opening campaign. Sir Hope Grant continues atlSultanpore, from which the enemy have retired, awaiting the de velopment of the plans of the Commander-in-Chief. General Berkeley will, it is believed; proceed from Allahabad with a force northward, while a massy wall of troops will leave the insurgents no alterna tive but surrender or destruction among the moun tains of Nepaul. The landholders are flocking to Lucknow tendering their submission, and, once re-established in their estates, will form our most efficient allies. Captain Browne, with a small party, but without guns, defeated a thousand of the enemy with four guns near Bareilly, cutting off one-half their number, while Lieut. Finch per formed a similar feat on a larger scale in Saugor. Trade is now brisk, but freights low.—We have had a fall of nearly a foot and a half of rain within the past fortnight. The Governor-General and Commander-in-Chief continue at Allahabad.—There was a meeting of Council on Tuesday, supposed to have had the royal proclamation before it, the aocu ment having, it is understood, been for some time in the secretariat.—The Governors and Commis sioners-in-Chief of Madras and Bombay are in the Neilgherries and the Deccan. DEATHS.—Lieut-Col. Alexander Cameron, 42d Highlanders, at Bareilly, Aug. 9 ; Surgeon W. H. Pigou, Bombay medical service, at Poona, Sept. 10 ; Lieut. W. T. Anderson, 25th Bombay N. 1., at Gwalior, Aug. 24; Lieut.. W. B. Cowburn, 71st Highlanders, at Gwalior, Aug. 31; Lieutenant W. M. Males, Bombay Fusiliers, killed at Mooltan Aug. 31; Major H. S. Mills, sth Bengal Native In fantry, at Murree, Sept. 3 ; and David M'Culloch, Esq., at Bombay, Sept. 12.—Bombay Times. In an " extra" of the Bombay Standard we find the following paragraphs : " The Ottawa, with the Bombay mails, has broken down, her main shaft having sustained injury." "We have been assured on the best authority that the report of the death of Col. Ainslie is un founded. When last heard of_ he was on his way to Gwalior" It is understood that Brigadier Douglas will open the campaign in October, with 3,000 Euro peans and 2,000 Sikhs, and sweep the jungles from Patna to Mirzapore. At the same time opera tions will commence in earnest in Oude. Sir Hope Grant now holds Sultanpore and both banks of the Goomtee—the enemy opposed to him, 17,000 strong they say, beini , forced well back to the eastward. At Sultanpore, Sir Hope will remain until Brigadier Berkeley, who has ad vanced from Soraon and taken Pertaubghur joins him, and thus completes a semi-circle, in which the rebels will be enclosed. When this junction is effected, Lord Clyde will be at Lucknow, and columns everywhere in motion. The chiefs are only waiting for a pretext to surrender. Those who own lands round Sultanpore have already surrendered. COMMERCIAL. BOMBAY, SEPT. 23. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamship Cadiz, with the English mails of the 27th August, reached. Bombay on the morning of the 9th inst. The money market continues easy, and we have no ma terial change to notice. IMPORTS. Cotton Piece goods.--Our import market lam becA loss active than during the preceding fortnight, and business has been transacted to a moderate extent. Grey shirtings of all descriptions are more or less steady, with a slight improve ment. Grey Madapollams are not so steady as before ; and grey j. cloths and domestics have declined. Grey long cloths have improved slightly. Bleached ani Fancy Goods.—Bleached Madapollams, jacconets, and shirtings, excepting the fine qualities, are steady. Lappets have declined. Lappet scarfs and co loured dhoties are also steady. Cotton Yarns.—Both mule and water twist are in fair inquiry, and the prices are steady. Turkey red and orange yarn have slightly improved in value and demand. Green yarn is dull. _ EXPORTS. Cotton.—Almost all descriptions of this staple have ad vanced one rupee in value; and in some instances transac tions have been made on European account. Oil Seeds.—This market has assumed an active tone, and the prices of the articles have advanced. Opium.—The inquiry for this drug has lessened during the fortnight, and we quote the rate of the day at Its. 1,310 per chest. The steamer Singapore, which lately left for the Chinese and other ports, took 1,200 chests on board. Tonnage.—No improvement has taken place in the rates of freights, the rates of the day being £1 to £1 10s. for Liverpool and London; and for its. 5 per candy. Exchange.—We quote London credits, at six months' sight, at 2s. ; documents, at 2s. 0 d. ; and bank rates, at is. Hid. On Calcutta, at 60 days' sight, Its. 991 ; on Madras, at 30 days' sight, Its. 991 ; and on China, at 60 days' sight, Rs. 215 per 100 dols. THE TASMANIAN SUBMARINE CABLE. The Government of Tasmania has taken the lead among our colonies in procuring for itself the means of submarine communication. It has entered into a contract with Messrs. M'Naughton and Co., of Launceston, Tasmania, to construct and lay down 240 miles of cable, so as to connect the Island of Tasmania with Victoria in Australia. From the George Town Heads, the entrance into the port of Launceston, the cable will be stretched across the ocean to King's Island, and from this island across the sea again to Cape Otway. Victoria and Laun ceston will thus be brought into telegraphic com munication. The manufacture of the cable has just been com pleted by Mr. W. T. Henley, at his manufactory at Greenwich. In diameter it is about equal to the Atlantic cable, but differs from it in its con struction. The copper conductor consists of a single solid wire of No. 16 gauge, instead of a strand composed of seven small wires twisted together. This single solid conductor is covered with gutta percha, in two distinct layers. The gutta percha covered wire is then surrounded with a covering of Russia hemp saturated with a mixture of Stockholm tar, linseed oil, and Russia tallow. Around the hemp covering an outer one of iron wire has been spun by Mr. Henley. This iron sheathing consists of ten solid iron wires of No. 8 size. In the Atlantic cable the outer covering of iron wire was composed of eighteen wires, these wires not being solid, but each composed of a strand of seven smaller ones. The new cable seems sufficiently elastic for all useful purposes : it weighs two tons to the statute mile. It has been manufactured simultaneously in two lengths, and as each length was drawn out of the room where it received its iron sheathing it was passed through a bath of tar, to preserve it from rust; it was then immersed in a tank of water. The value of this last process was shown by a flaw in the cable being detected, which allowed an escape of electricity from the conductor. This escape did not manifest itself until the cable had been in the water tank four days. Without the application of this test the escape might not have been discovered till after the submersion of the cable in the ocean. The construction of the Tasmanian cable has been superintended by M. Latimer Clarke (the engineer of the Electric and International Company of Eng land) and Mr. W. H. Butcher, of Hobart Town. It has been tested by an extremely sensitive galvano meter. This galvanometer shows a deflection of 50 degrees for a current of electricity generated only by a pair of plates, after passing through the whole 240 miles of cable and the earth. So perfect is the insulation of the cable, that when it is charged by a powerful current of electricity, its extremity not being in contact with the earth, this delicate galvanometer scarcely indicates any deflection. We understand that the O'Meor screw steamer is expected to arrive in the Thames on Friday, the 22d inst., to ship the cable. The submergence will be entrusted to the care of Mr. W. H. Butcher. NEW LIFEBOATS. Yesterday some interesting and satisfactory trials were made in Regent's-canal dock, Limehouse, with four new lifeboats, which the Royal National Life boat Institution is about to send to Cromer and Bacton, Norfolk ; Fraserburgh, in Scotland ; and to Newcastle, on the Irish coast. The experiments were witnessed by Mr. T. Chapman, deputy-chair man of the society ; Capt. Perrett, Mr. J. Chap man, Mr. Peake, designer of the boats ; Captain Ward, R.N., inspector of lifeboats to the institu tion ; Messrs. Forrest, builders of the boats ; Mr. Lewis, secretary to the society ; and a large number of other persons. The boats are on the plan of those now adopted and success• fully used by the National Lifeboat Society. They were turned over by means of some tack ling attached to a crane. After having been turned keel up they at once recovered their proper posi tion, and freed themselves of the water they thus shipped in less than 25 seconds. These wonderful qualities of the boats excited general satisfaction and applause. So great was the stability of one of the lifeboats that it required 34 men on one gunwale to bring her to the water's edge. Hardly any water can remain in these boats when there are 30 or 40 persons on board, as it is self-ejected. On the whole nothing could have been more satisfactory than this trial, reflecting much credit on the designer of the boats and their builders. One boat was called the Havelock, in memory of the late distinguished soldier of that name. She is to be stationed at Fraserburgh, where Sir Henry's name was much cherished. The cost of this boat is the generous gift of a resi dent of Bath. In the noble efforts which the National Lifeboat Institution is now making to sup ply exposed points with lifeboats of this descrip tion, let us expres§ an earnest hope that the efforts of the society will be cordially seconded by the pecuniary support of the public. The society has now nearly 80 lifeboats under its management, and it appears from Parliamentary returns that its life boats, with those of local parties, rescued 398 per sons during the past year from a watery grave. The same documents tell us, however, that during the same period, nearly 600 poor creatures lost their lives from wrecks around our coasts ; and who can tell how many of them might have been preserved to their families and country if a sufficient number of lifeboats had been in the localities of the casualties ! CITY SEWERS COMMISSION. The Commissioners assembled yesterday in Guild hall for the despatch of business, Deputy CHRISTIE in the chair. The CHAIRMAN put in a letter from Mr. Geo. A. H. Capes, complaining of the injurious state of the upper gully in Philpot-lane, the stench from which was not only a great nuisance, but dangerous to health. The Court immediately agreed to a motion direct ing that all that was necessary should be done for trying the experiment with charcoal as suggested by the medical officer of health, by carrying a pipe up against the house of Mr. Capes, with his con sent, under the direction of the surveyor. -Dr. /MUT:BY (the mediCal effieer of healthy laid his weekly report, from which the following are extracts, before the court :—" The Inspectors' returns relate to 148 houses that have been inspected during the week, of which number 57 were common lodging-houses, and I beg to submit a list of 20 places that require the orders of the Commission for Sanitary . Improve ment in various particulars. I also submit a list of places that require further proceedings on account of orders already issued but not yet com plied with. The mortality re t ur ns for the week' were of an average description. As usual at this season of the year, the number of deaths is increas ing from the low summer average to the higher proportion of autumn. In the course of the last three weeks the weekly returns have progressed from 42 to 56, and from that to 58, which is near to • the average for this season of the year. Of this number 21 were among children under 10 years of age. Among the principal causes of death are 5 returns from fever, 4 from scarlatina, 2 from whooping-cough, and 2 from measles, and there was one death from diarrhcea. The principal causes of death were consumption, bronchitis, and i s s e s u io s n si e n r g s twerehe merits r it s of a considerable petition pneumonia."e la n t gT in ah g gee t Cd o oi t mn he necessity of making improvements in a narrow passage in the neighbourhood of Thames street, through which passage vast numbers of per sons were stated to cume and go during the most busy hours of the day. It was determined that a view of the locality should take place forthwith. Adjourned. THE NATIONAL GALLERY.—Yesterday notice was issued at Trafalgar -square that the National Gallery and Vernon Collection, at Marlborough-house, Pall-mall, would be re-opened to the public on Monday next, the 25th instant. The days for public admission are changed to Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays, Thurs daYs and Fridays being set apart for the admission of students only. LEOMINSTER ELECTION. ---The returning officer havinereceived the writ for the elec tion of a member in the place of Mr. Willoughby, appointed to the Indian Council, proclaimed it on Monday morning, and fixed the nomina tion to take place at the Town-hall on Friday next at 10 o'clock.. The Hon, Captain Ranbury is the only candidate. DIABOLICAL ATTEMPT TO MURDER AT SHEFFIELD. SHEFFIELD, TUESDAY. A most alarming outrage has this morning been committed in the Wicker, whereby the life of one man will in all probability be sacrificed. The scene of the outrage was on the premises of Mr. Fewsdale, the extensive joiner and builder in the Wicker, and the man whose life has been perilled is Henry Grayson, a journeyman, in Mr. Fewsdale's employ. For some time it would appear the whole of the men in Mr. Fewsdale's employ have been in an unsettled state and much dissatisfied with the fore man, Thomas Champion, the author of the outrage we are now recording. So much was the man disliked that it appears, in order to keep the men at their work, Al r. Fewsdale found it necessary to sus pend Champion, and he was suspended all last week. On Monday morning his employer permitted him to start work as ajourneyman, and he went to the " Farm" (where Mr. Fewsdale has a good number of men employed) for that purpose. As soon as he got there, however, the men refused to work with him, and gave over accordingly, and also sent word to the men at the workshops in the Wicker, where they also desisted from work in consequence of Champion having commenced. In consequence of this Mr. Fewsdale had no alternative but to tell Champion he would have to leave altogether. This, it would appear, satisfied all the men, and this morning they resumed their work. About half-past nine o'clock they were surprised by seeing Cham pion enter the shop, where there were nine or ten men at work. He first went to a man named Womack, and after a few words, asked him if he had anything to say against him. He then turned to Grayson, and said, " Have you ,any thing to say against me 9" Grayson said, "No ; ' but immediately Champion drew out a six-barrelled revolver, and placing it under Grayson's right car, fired it ; the ball with which the pistol was charged entered just at that point. Champion next turned to another workman named Kenyon, and presented the pistol to him in the same position, but the pistol missed fire, and Kenyon, who had felt something at his ear, instantly turned round and laid hold of Champion, who was soon secured by the assistance of the other workmen. The whole affair was the work of an instant. Poor Grayson was found to be dangerously wounded, and lost a very great quantity of blood. Mr. Haxworth, Mr. Chessman, and. Mr. Booth, surgeons,were sent for, and severally ar rived. The ball, it was f oun d, h a d lodged in some part of the man's head and could not be extracted, and there is not the slightest hope of his recovery. Grayson is a married man and has a daughter 15 years of age. He is much respected by his em ployer, and had worked for him 28 years, meluiing . his apprenticeship. Champion lived in Rodney lane, Suffolk-road. When he was secured by the workmen the police were sent for, and Inspector Linley and Sergeant Marsland were shortly on the spot. The pistol, on being taken from him, was found to be a six-barrelled revolver ; one barrel, of course, had been fired, the other five were found still loaded; and from the way in which the man commenced the outrage there is every reason to believe that he intended to make deadly use of every barrel. At the moment we conclude this brief account the wounded man still remains at the workshops, as the doctors have pronounced it unsafe to remove him. A magistrate, accompanied by Mr. Thorp, Mr. Albert Smith's clerk, is also in attendance taking the dying man's deposition, in the presence of the prisoner. • A SILVER COIN IN THE THROAT. On Monday, Mr. J. P. Cole, a professor of music, at Arundel, was playing with a fourpenny-piece, by jerking it out of his hand into his mouth, when by some accident it was drawn into the windpipe. He endeavoured by various means to remove the coin, but unsuccessfully, and was naturally alarmed at the circumstance. Immediately he sought a neigh bouring surgeon, who administered an emetic, but this failed in removing it, and Mr. Cole was appalled by being told " that nothing more could be done," and it was probable that mortification would ensue. So alarmed was he that he wrote to kis friends "to tell them of the unhappy accidott and its anticipated results. It appeared that the fourpenny piece had become wedged in edgeways, and his breathing was not interrupted, further than it produced a kind of whee7ing noise, similar to that in an asthmatical person. After tryin g every means to move the impediment during the night, Mr. Cole hastened to Chichester the next morning, where he was called profes sionally ; but being unable, from pain and natural anxiety, to attend to his duties, he called at the surgery of Mr. C. S. Jones, who, by auscultation, could easily detect the coin lying at the bottom of the windpipe. The same sad tale was told him as before, and that mortification would probably set in in two days. The only chance was to have some chloroform administered, and endea vour to remove it by an external operation. This was, indeed, sad news for a young gentleman in the prime of life. But previous to his leaving Arundel a lady had reminded Mr. Cole of a similar accident occurring to Mr. Brunel, the great engineer, who, as our readers will recollect, had the misfortune to get a half-sovereign in his windpipe, in playing with his children. The way in which that was removed was, by placing that gentleman on his head and giv ing a violent blow at his back. Mr. Cole mentioned this circumstance to Mr. Jones and his assistant, but both were somewhat doubtful of such an experi ment. However, as a drowning man will catch at a straw, so Mr. Cole insisted that this singular plan of removing the imprisoned coin should be tried. A cushion was placed on the floor, his legs were raised up into the air, and a violent blow given on the back; immediately Mr. Cole shouted" Here it is." And true enough the fourpenny-piece had fallen from his mouth upon the floor. To describe the feelings of the patient at this moment, when he was probably snatched from the hands of death, would be im possible. The medical gentlemen were equally delighted at the result of this most remarkable operation ; and we believe that the cushion, on which Mr. Cole had placed his head, was seized and thrown up into the air, and three hearty and joyful cheers were instinctively given at such a happy termination of what promised to be a most melancholy misfortune.— West Sussex Gazette.

CURIOUS FRENCH TRIAL.--An officer of the Chasseurs was lately tried in Paris for having, while being shown th e vau l ts of t h e P antheon, d rawn hi s sword, and wounded several parties ; amongst others, a young English girl, who was staying at the Hotel Louvre, but who refused to appear against the prisoner. The guardian, to show the echo is in the habit of calling out the names of the illustrious dead buried there; the dark damp vaults dimly lighted by the guardian lantern, the dismal echo, acted upon the brain of the young soldier, who imagining himself in the trenches at Sebastopol, drew his sabre, demanded of his astonished fellow-visitors the password, which none could, of course, give. The guardian, an old soldier, ad vance d t o pacify the officer, and was the first attacked and wounded. His lan tern was shattered, and the officer, calling on the soldiers he imagined he was leading, dashed madly on in utter dark ness, but striking on every side ; the shrieks of the terrified women added to the alarm. Few were wounded by the sabre, but many, by striking against the tombs while en deavouring to escape, were severely injured. Fortunately the guardian, who knew the place well, had, though wounded, made his way out, and given the alarm ) and the guard coming up with torches, secured the officer, after a most desperate resistance. There was no defence offered; the officer could give no explanation of the extra ordinary delusion of which he so suddenly became the vic tim. His advocate urged in mitigation the great bravery he had displayed at Sebastopol, where he had been twice severely wounded ; his previous good character, and the injuries he had received in the scuffle of being disarmed, and this pleadin g we ll f or hi m, _ the prisoner was sentenced to. thieQ 4119nths' imprisonment.
