THE SUN. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1858. The social reunions in which Right Honourable and Honourable Gentlemen meet their constituents during the Parliamentary recess, and in which they either render accounts of their respeotive steward ships, or enlighten the public mind as to the legisla tion looming in the future, are always matters, not merely of local but of general interest. They are so many safety-valves established to allow the escape of any great political excitement. They also indicate the state of public opinion, and enable Ministers to consider in due time matters that must inevitably be brought forward from some side of the House during the ensuing session. Many of these societies have standing .rules against the introduction of political topics ; but they are merely cobwebs to restrain the small fry. *Whenever a political celebrity is in attendance, the regulations are considered " more honoured in the breach than in the observance ;" and whether the guest or visitor pleases, with cheerful audacity, a la ROEBUCK, to set them at absolute defiance; or to apologise for their in. fringement, their violation is invariably hailed with raptuious enthisiasm. Perhaps the mere fact that it is a forbidden pleasure which they are enjoying renders it all the sweeter. This is more particu larly the case when a Minister is caught, and still more so if one of the Cabinet appears before them. Notwithstanding the proverbial caution of such person's, some revelations ooze forth, and, perhaps, occasionally " feelers " are thown out in order to test the state of public opinion. Few great politi cal movements have occurred without such "feelers," and they are, therefore, the more anxiously looked for. The Oxfordshire and Banbury Agricultural Meeting had one of these gatherings yesterday, at which not only were there several members of both Houses, but also the President of the Board of Trade, one who must have been well aware of the Ministerial intentions. Mr. HENLEY, however, was clearly not disposed to throw out " feelers." His difficulty was of a totally different description. It - Was to disclose as little as possible, although rather strongly pressed. Of course, the compara tively empty -workhouses and empty gaols" were topicS of congratulation that could not be disre 4arded. These are " great facts" that should induce every "man, qualified by position or talent, to interfere in the legislation of the country, to look to the causes that produce such felicitous results. Why are the prisons and workhouses empty ? Why has the man able and willing to work refrained from seeking parochial relief ? Why has the hand of the pickpocket tutored, perhaps, in the " Thieves' Kitchen," forgot its eumiir.g Simply, because a livelihood, rude and humble it may be, but still:a livelihood, may be obtained by honest industry. • Money is now cheap; . There is a sufficient circulating mediunk t -- the eery life-blood of industry—a fair day's wages csat be obtained for a fair day's work, and there are comparatively few paupers—comparatively few thieves. These are facts that should stimulate the Currency reformers, and induce them to persevere in the useful agitation that may ere long lead to great results. It is a great :matter to know that " our humble brethren are well employed, and • have the means of comfortable subsistence." It might always be so if the nation eschewed the vicious theories of the currency quacks. Mr. MIN' LEY had abundant grounds for_ congra tulating his audience, as well as the community at large, on: the statisfactoty conclusion of the war with China. Alth,:mgh the full details of the Treaty have not as yet come to hand, it is certain that we have obtained:concessions which the most sanguine person could scarcely have anticipated, and which may open: up a new world, thickly inhabited, to British enterprise. Mr. HENLEY alluded to the fact < that a fourth pirt of the naval force of the country, now employed 15,000 or 10,000 - miles s - scray, will be enabled to return, an d e ,,_ gaged -,nearer home, ready for any emergency.. Those mre significant expressions. They show that GOVe tea is resolved to maintain our Channel fleet ' full force. Without feeling either jealousy or fear / of any Power whatsoever, without suppos ing thalt the completion of Cherbourg indicates any intention on the part of the French Government to pick a (inarrel, we feel, as we always have felt, that it - - would be a false and spurious economy that w mil& relinquish the smallest portion of our . maritime supremacy, or permit the Tightest 13reaeli in " the wooden walls" that have s long Ft Aected the nation against every foe. ' Mr.. AIEtk:LEY has also explained, although the explanafka is couched in very diplomatic terms, that a Ref, )ice Bill will be introduced next session. . , . ;06 , 4. :L v .. ~„ /t 1 11 4" S 'l ,' 4 ,-...... , .• , 4:7:, 'A:,i'' .% ; "0" .-47 ;5-....10 1 titill \ ": 4* " Arbio , St.t:r .. .

He is not very enthusiastic on the subject, but he acknowledges the necessity, and we hope and believe that we shall obtain far better , terms from the present Government than from - their pre decessors. It will be the great ordea', which, if successfully encountered will give them a prolonged tenure of office, at all events " &wino. t , good be haviour." Side by side, yesterday evening, we reported the speeches of a Liberal member to a large manufac turing constituency and of two county members to an agricultural one. Mr. EWING gave an account of his Parliamentary behaviour to the busy men of Paisley, and our old acquaintance, W. 8., with his colleague Mr. Du CANE, told their story to the ap- plauding yeomen of Essex. In some things they agreed, as all Englishmen, Whig or Tory, county or town representatives, are sure to do. The honour of the country must be maintained, however alarmed French counts and colonels might be, and its secu rity must be absolute even if Cherbourg be rendered doubly stronger than it now is. As to what it be comes us to do in regard to foreign powers, friends or foes, all are pretty . well agreed among us, except ing the celebrated school whose loud and bitter de nunciations of war, however righteous the cause, emboldened, as we verily believe, the guilty NICHOLAS to imbrue his hands in the blood of Europe. The Paisley senator, however, and the members for North Essex, differed, as good party men should do, when the question came to be the policy of 1859. Not so much, though, as might have been expected. Both parties look forward to next spring —the Liberal orator, however, is almost at sea about his party. Mr. EWING thinks, that by a " fusion of the independent Liberals," a strong party and go- rernment might be tormed which should command the respect of the country. As to the Reform Bill, some people thought it would be more liberal than one proposed by the Whigs, but that must be mere conjecture ; he believed that they had not yet made up their minds, nor would do so till the eleventh hour, and that then we should have just as little offered as it might be supposed the country would put up with. Mr. EWART certainly drew his Tory Reform Bill picture from the PALMERSTON Cabinet of this spring. That more would be offered than would not be a positive mockery of the country no one believed ; while the Reform Bill promised in the QUEgN'S Speech in December was not even in draft by the Easter holidays—it was not in the power of the ejected Minister to draw forth from his desk a bill of any sort, and to say to the dgobedient house, and the laughing country, See what you have lost by turning off PALMERSTON and Reform for DERBY and nothing. But what does Mr. EWING mean by the fusion of the independent Liberals ? Who and what are they ? And does he mean that the fused indepen dents are to form a Cabinet from among themselves, as his language would seem to imply ? Hardly, we should think, the latter, since he scarcely ex pects that Mr. GIBSON and Mr. BRIGHT would be likely to take office, although others of the Liberal outsiders might be ready enough to do so. Perhaps he ranks Lord J. RUSSELL amongst the indepen dents 1 . unless, however, the noble lord marvellously reforms himself, he will want to exact an obedience from the advanced Reformers, which they would be foolish indeed to concede, since it is not easy to say wherein he will go much further than the present occupants of the Treasury benches. He opposes, like them, the Ballot and the abolition of Church-rates—that is, he is on the wrong side, as much as they, of the two ecclesiastical and political testing questions of the day. In fact, we hope that both sections of the Whigs—both the Russellites and the Palmerstonians—are sentenced to penal opposition till they have learned to serve their country, not to domineer over it, and to carry out its wishes instead of palming off their own upon it. We want something worth changing for when we change our Ministry again. But what, in regard to Reform, is the tone of the Conservative members ?—of such a Conservative member as Mr. Du CANE, who regrets Lord DERBY'S concessions of last session, and even wishes he had left the property qualifica tion to be dealt with as a part of a larger measure ? It is curious to see how this gentleman, the colleague of Major BERESFORD for a county, has been compelled to adopt the new creed which Mr. DISRAELI has taught the Conser vatives. Though he opposed Mr. LocKE KING'S most reasonable Bill, he is " not averse to any change in our present representation." On the contrary, he thinks that " resistance to progressive improvement forms no true item in a Conservative creed"—a statement which his Tory supporters loudly cheered. He added, fairly enough, that "if we persist in opposing all improvement, under the name of innovation, the day will come when, as in 1831, we shall be compelled to swallow innovation divested of improvement." If he had modified the last sentence, cleverly turned enough in the Conservative sense—if he had told his con stituents that they would, if they resisted too long, be obliged to swallow a double dose of improve- ment, administered, not by autocrats, but by an aroused country, he would have told them the quiet truth. Mr. Du CANE distinctly expresses his hope that Parliament will deal with the subject in a comprehensive and impartial spirit next session ; though between " those whose desires are boundless and those who would let well alone, the task will be a Herculean one." On one point he agrees with our old friend Lord GREY, who on this subject has become a thorough Tory, and hopes that the bill will be of such a nature a.; to b; regarded as a final settlement by the country. He thinks that nothing is "more detrimental to the progress of sound legislation than reopening and tampering, bit by bit, and piecemeal, with so great and vital a - question as that of Parliamentary Reform." We think, and always have thought, that there is a deal of cant in this kind of talk. It is the excuse for leaving obvious amendments in Our representation untouched for years. Our legislation is all of the patch-work kind. We have no codes, much less any constitutions, cut and dried in our history. Be it a defect or otherwise, such is the plain fact. Our constitution and legislation is not a straight poplar tree growth, but rather that of an oak ; much less:symmetrical it may be, and with hardly one long straight bough on it; but this has proved its strength. There may be little regularity but each small part has pushed itself, it may be crOokedly, forward, and it forms one strong whole. Of course we care not how far the Con servatives, or any other party, will take us in their love of progress ; but we do not mean to bind ourselves over to stop progress at their milestone. Nothing of the sort. We wish that to be distinctly understood. We shall be Reformers while anything is left to be reformed, whether it be in our representation or in our laws. It may be convenient to the anti-reforming class to fling us a good large mouthful, and tell us, as Lord c uEv a t IFORD did the electors of Stamford, that that sh r ould .t -hour throats ; but our th roa t s w ill last fo and be all the worse i f th ey h a d nu 4: service, to us, will, fora cen tury to swallow. Our repres en t a ti on , nothing like everything elsebelonging till the New Zealander actu ally to come, perilaP s ken arches of London-bridge, ally mounto the PrP-- admit 'of indefinite improvement ; and most cer tainly we shall never relax our efforts to make it more and more exactly the reflex of the mind of the nation. Well, if Tory county members begin to talk about a'Reform Bill in this style, it will not do for Reformers Tall over the country to be idle. The recreations of autumn over, we must begin the task of enlightening our Conservative Reform Ministers on the sort of Reform we mean to insist on. THE GREAT EASTERN STEAM-SHIP. With reference to an advertisement which was published this morning, purporting to emanate from the promoters of a project entitled the " Eng lish and American Great Steam-ship Company, Limited," we have received the following commu nication from the Eastern Steam Navigation Com pany : The Eastern Steam Navigation Company, 13, Gresham-street, London. _ Sir,—An advertisement having appeared- in this day's newspapers of a company stated to have been formed for the purpose of "Finishing and Working the Great East ein,' I am desired to inform you that my directors have no knowledge of any such company ; but a well-considered scheme, combining the interests of the present shareholders, with ample inducement for the contribution of fresh capital, has received the assent of a majority of their body, and of several of the largest shareholders, and will shortly bo sub mitted to the proprietors.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, Sept. 14. J. H. YATES, Secretary. The Manchester Guardian has a paragraph from Liverpool to the following effect :—" Arrangements are on foot here for the purpose of calling a general meeting of the leading inhabitants, in order to decide what steps should be taken for the purpose of completing and employing the Great Eastern. The meeting will, we understand, be presided over by the Mayor." RUMOURED DEATII OF J. P. SomEßs, ESQ.— A paragraph from The Sligo Independent has been quoted in several journals respecting the death of Mr. Somers. We are happy to say that it is not only without foundation, but that the hon. gentle man was never in better health, or more earnestly resolved on seeking the "suffrages of Sligo constt tuency on the next vacancy, or with better hopes of success. " The wish" was mrnifestly " father of the thought" with some who would fain obtain the position which he so long occupied. SUSSEX HALL LITERARY INSTITUTION.—For some time past the executive of this Institution have contemplated the closinc , of its doors, consequent on the meagre support it continues to receive from the public. The members of the Institution, however, are opposed to this step, which they think premature, and on Sunday evening last met in delibe ration to devise means still to uphold this, the only literary institute among the Jews. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT WITH GUNPOWDER. — Yesterday morning a frightful accident occurred to Ovimond Cornin, aged 17 years, and Edwin Cornin, aged 10 years, residing at Portland-place, Clapham, under the following circumstances :—lt appears from the statement of one of the sufferers that they placed a large quantity of damp gun powder on the hob to dry, when, standing over it with a lighted candle, a spark fell from it on the gunpowder, when it exploded, frightfully injuring both brothers. Without loss of time they were conveyed to Guy's Hospital, where every assistance was rendered, but they remain in a very precarious state. CHRIST'S HOSPITAL.—On Thursday next, the 21st instant, being St. Matthew's Day, the Lord Mayor, Aldermen. and Sheriffs, together with the governors of the several Royal Hospitals, will attend divine service at Christ's Church, Newgate-street, at 11 o'clock precisely, when a sermon will be preached by the Rev. George Edwin Pat tenden, Head Master of Boston Grammar. school, Lincoln shire ; after which they will repair to the Great Hall in Christ's Hospital, where three orations will be delivered by three of the senior scholars on the Benefits of the Royal Hospitals, preceded by a Latin Prologue in the place of the French Oration, which will be omitted owing to the indis position of Monsieur C. J. Dellille, by Theophilus Mitchell, Senior Grecian. The Greek Oration will be delivered by Albert Biden Rogers ; the English, by Francis Alfred Hanbury, Mathematical Medallist, 1 858 ; the Latin, by Alfred Tucker, Classical Medallist, 1858. Three trans lations will also be recited by other Senior Scholars. A translation from Shakspeare's " Macbeth" into Greek lambics, by Henry Charles Bowker, Mathematical Medalist, 1857, Pitt Club Scholar , 18.58 ; a trans lation from Campbell's " Hohenlinden " into Greek Sapphics by Mortimer Sloper Howell ; a translation from Macaulay's " Prophecy of Capys" into Latin Alcaics, by Albert Henry Poulton. There will also be recited two ori ginal poems—one, in Latin hexameters, " being the Richards Prize poem" on the Pilgrimage to Mecca, by Mortimer Sloper Howell ; and the other in English, on the Siege of Lucknow_, by Albert Henry Poulton. A WOMAN BURNED TO DEATH IN BED.—On Saturday night, between nine and ten o'clock, a woman named Mary Howard, the wife of a cork cutter, lodging at a house in Hardman-street, Deansgate, occupied by an old man named Alexander Mitchell, was taken to bed in a state of insensibility from intoxication, and her child, about ten months old, was placed in the bed with her. About half-an-hour afterwards the occupants of the house per ceived a smell of fire, and on proceeding to the room where Howard slept they found the bedclothes in a blaze. The assistance of the police and some of the neighbours was quickly obtained, and information sent to the fire brigade ; but when a body of firemen arrived they found that the fire had been partially extinguished with buckets of water, and the child rescued, with little injury . ; but the woman was still lyin on one end of the bed seriously burnt. As quickly as possible she was removed from the bed, and, conveyed on a board to the Royal Infirmary. She was much burned about the breast, arms, and sides. There were no hopes of saving her life, and she died at two o'clock yesterday morn ing. The origin of the fire cannot be definitely ascertained, but it is supposed, from the fact of the woman's pipe being afterwards found in bed, that she had lighted and smoked her pipe in bed, and accidentally ignited the clothes. The candle was found extinguished, and in its usual place, which favours this supposition. An inquest was held upon the body by Mr. Herford, City coroner, yesterday, when a verdict of " Accidental death" was returned.--. Manchester Guardian. _ _ - THE REFORM MOVEMENT IN THE NORTH.—An active agitation in favour of Parliamentary Reform has, for the last eight months, been conducted in the two counties of Durham and Northumberland, by the Northern Reform Union. From a report submitted last week to the members / of the Newcastle branch of the union, by the treasurer, Mr. Jos. Cowen, jun., we learn " that upwards of 30 public meetings in connection with the union have been held in the northern district, commencing with Newcastle, and comprising North Shields, South Shields, Hexham, Blyth, Hartlepool, Darlington, Middlesborough, and nearly all the large colliery and manufacturing villages between the Tyne and the Tees. All the meetings have been numerously attended, and at none has the least opposition been offered to the resolutions of the union, or a single hand been held up against them." The council are preparing to extend and complete their organisdtion, and they declare "that in every centre of population in the northern counties there shall be, before Parliament re-assembles, a local branch of the Reform Union." A great gathering of reformers is to be held in Newcastle in the course of a few weeks, at which the winter campaign is to be formally commenced. P. A. Taylor, Esq. of London, the gentleman that the sup. porters of the Union have pledged themselves to con test the representation of Newcastle at the next election, and .other well-known reformers of the ad vanced school, are expected to be present. The council issue a monthly journal, The Northern Reform. Record, which is devoted to reporting the proceedings of the Union, and a vigorous but temperate statement of the principles on which it is based. The council declare their object to be "to disseminate useful political information, and to urge the middle and working classes to increased interest in political affairs, but free from the personal and class decla mations of the Chartist tithes." The success they have met with they declare to have been " gratifying and encou raging," and they write of their future efibrts in a hopeful spirit. THIRD ATTEMPTED SALE OF BRANKSEA CASTLE AND ISLAND.—The celebrated property of Branksea Castle and Island, the transient stately hall and domain of the fugitive Colonel Waugh, was offered for sale yesterday, for the third time, at the Auction Mart, by Mr. C. Driver. • Particulars descriptive of the estate were handed round the room, announcing that it was "for absolute sale," and that the "upset price" was " fixed for auction at D 50,000." On the occasion of the first attempted sale of the property it was bought in at £119,000, and on that of the second at- ' tempt it was purchased in at 64,000. It is understood that there are two mortgages upon the castle and island, one for £37,000, and anotber for about £BO,OOO. The first mort gage bears with it interest at 5 per cent. per annum since 1855. There was a goodly attendance in the room, but none of the visitors seemed inclined to become possessed of thin much-talked-of property. After occupying nearly an hour in describing the estate, and expatiating on its mine ral resources, Mr. Driver informed his auditory that to the highest bidding beyond the upset price the property would be knocked down. A pause ensued, when he observed that he should not procrastinate the biddings ; he would merely offer the estate once, twice, and thrice. Another slight pause followed, but there was no bidding. Mr. Driver then thanked the company for coming to listen to him, and added that, as there were no biddings, tloi property was bought in by the London and Eastern Banking Corpora ' tion for £50,000, the upset price. THE ORLEANS FAMILY.—The ex-Royal Family of France visited Cheltenham on Thursday last, arriving from Malvern, where they have been staying for some weeks past. The party included the ex-Queen Marie Amelie, the Count de Paris, the Duke de Chartres, the Prince and Prin cess de Joinville, the Princesses Blanche and Francois°, the Prince of Ponthieu, the Prince of Wurtemburg, and a suite, consisting of the Count and Countess de Chabannes, and six or seven other attendants. After resting a short time and • partaking of luncheon, which was in waiting on their arrival, the party proceeded in three open car riages, first, to Cambray-house, the ex-Queen having a desire to visit once again the dwelling in which she resided exiledwh e n 4 1, 5 0 7 1 i a s r s x a g v o i w s 11. 1 n y in g n i s u p e Ch ct e e l d t e n t h h e a n h t N u v s i e th the and garden, the carriages were next ordered to drive to the Royal Old Wells, where the party alighting, walked through the pump-room and grounds, admiring especially the noble avenue of centenarian elms • and then resuming their route, drove to Lord Northwic' k's residence, in the rer o p i I: ro : 0 g Bath-road, for the purpose of inspecting the paintings and fou other objects of high art there treasured by their noble owner. The intention of the party to visit tae galleries of Thirlestane-house, though intended to be kept secret, would seem to have transpired, for on their arrival, shortly after 2 p.m. there must have been in the various rooms some 60 or /0 visitors, who at once recognized the illustrious personages just introduced.

LATEST NEWS. covered by their cavalry, among whom the artil lery made sonic good practice. It soon became dark, and the infantry being quite exhausted, pur suit was impossible. The rebels are chiefly cavalry. I have five hunched of her Majesty's 83d, two hundred 13th N. 1., sixty Guzerat Horse, and three guns with me. The men have borne the fatigue cheerfully, and behaved well. The rebels are this morning at Goosla, on the Oodeypore road." Colonel Holmes' detachment, which had kept up a hot pursuit of the enemy in a different direction, without much result, found it impossible to come up with them, and they at last escaped by a pass which, being encumbered with artillery, he could not cross. These rebels then turned to the west, and intend, it is said, descending into Marwar by the Chutter Boof. or one of the Marwar passes. It was not thought any of the Thakoors would join them, and troops have been moved from Ahmeedabad towards Oodeypore, to check their advance into Guzerat. The detachment under Colonel Holmes joined General Robert's force on the 10th, and the pursuit was recommenced on the 13th. On the 18th August (yesterday), the rebel fugitives were overtaken and defeated, as will be seen by the following telegraphic despatch from General Roberts, dated Camp Kotarea, 18th August : "I came up with the rebel army this morning about nine o'clock, at this place (Kotarea), about 10 miles north of Nathwarre, and totally defeated him, capturing his fine brass guns, four in number, with ammunition, &c. The loss of the enemy in killed is severe. Our casualties are few. The enemy were scattered in all directions, but seemed most to be going towards the S.S.E. The Cavalry and Horse Artillery have gone after them." THE BOMBAY MAIL. We have received by Overland Express our Bombay letters and papers to the 19th of August. The following is the summary of the Overland Bombay Times: — HEADS OF INTELLIGENCE. Sir Hope Grant's force reached Fyzabad on the 29th of July, and occupied it without opposition, the rebels having retreated before their advance. Rajah Maun Sing joined the British camp at Fyzabad on the 30th of July, and order was being rapidly restored in the city and its neighbourhood. On the 4th of August a force was about to start for Sultanpore, to disperse the rebels congregated there, under if homed Hossein. General Roberts, after a laborious pursuit of the fugitive rebels in Rajpootana,encountered them on the 9th and 18th August, and completely dispersed them, with severe loss. On the last occasion, at Kotarea, he captured four brass guns, with ammu nition, &c. A force had marched from Ahmedabad, to intercept the advance of the fugitives into Guzerat. Behar continues in a state of chronic disorder, and the rebels at one time occupied the Grand Trunk Road, cutting off our communication with Calcutta. They were soon dislodged, however, and vigorous measures are being adopted to restore order in the province. The Governor-General and Sir Colin Campbell are at Allahabad, and Lady Canning is on her way thither from Calcutta. Lord Harris has been seriously ill at Ootaca mund, having at one time lost the use of his limbs : but his lordship is gradually recovering his health, and is again able to attend to public business. Sir Patrick Grant still continues to reside at the Neil gherries. Lord Elphinstone has left . Dapoorie, on a short visit to Ahmednuggur, where he will remain about a week. Sir Henry Somerset is at Poona. DEATHS.—Colonel Joseph Turton, Bengal Artil lery, at Kedegeree, July 20 ; Lieut.-Colonel Charles Otter, her Majesty's 61st Regiment, at Calcutta, July 27; Captain George Evatt, her Majesty's 70th Regiment, at Peshawur, July ; Captain E. J. Hardcastle, 53d Bengal Native Infantry, at Ajmere, Aug. 5 ; Assistant Surgeon, F. J. M. Musgrave, Bombay medical service, at sea, on the voyage to Kurrachee, July 29 ; and Edward Salmon, Esq., barrister-at-law, at Madras, July 30. OUDE. The cessation of hostilities in Oude seems almost to have told more powerfully upon the rebel cause than our victories, as symptoms are now manifest in all quarters of a thorough break-up of the confederation. They only wanted a little leisure to quarrel amongst themselves, and the sending our troops into quarters has afforded them the opportunity. We mentioned in our last issue that Sir J. Hope Grant had marched with a small but well appointed force from Luck now on the 21st ultimo for the relief of faun Sing, besieged in his fortress at Shahgung, in the neighbourhood of Fyzabad. The rebel army is said to have amounted to 8,000 cavalry and 40,000 infantry, of whom 10,000 were sepoys, but these figures are doubtless a random guess without an authority. Grant's force could not have exceeded 3,500 in all, but the enemy showed that they had no intention of again meeting the dreaded gory Toque ; and while he was yet fourteen miles away, broke up in three divisions and retreated precipi tately. The men flatly refused to fight. A letter from Lucknow, in the column of a contemporary, describes the result of the advance as follows : "On his road Grant met with no opposition. The rebels at Durreabad, some 10,000 strong, under Gungadhur Panay, once one of our faithful friends, melted into particles on our approach. The chuckle dar of the place addressed head quarters, that is the Begum, that hearing of the advance of British troops, Gungadhur's men, and those of Abed Hoosein, felt a sudden pricking of the conscience, and were deserting. No attraction could keep them together, our presence and our bayonets were very repellant. No sooner did intelligence reach Mehndee Hoosein that we had passed Durreabad, where we have quartered the Kuppertulla Rajah's troops, than the vast host before Shahgung rolled with a similar emotion. In one night 13,000 deserted, having been seen no more." On the 30th, Maun Sing came into Gen. Grant's camp at Fyzabad, and whatever reason we may have to doubt the sincerity of this man's late and vacillating professions, his final detachment from the rebel cause is undoubtedly an advantage of importance. The effect of this movement is the perfect re-establishment of order at Fyzabad. The inhabitants are returning to their homes, and the shops are being opened, and trade resumed as if no thing whatever had transpired in the district. Our anticipations that the Begum's force at Bounree would melt away of itself, are realised. It had dwindled down, by last accounts, to between three and four thousand men with four guns, and was s t atn at the preparing to follow the " sorry beast" Nana into the Nepaul territories, upon the fi rs t no ti ce o f our advance. The latest information we h ave o f t hi s monster in the Nanparuh d itrit, n he d s i c s n t C , h t r head of a consi derable body of troops, with four guns. I t i s h ar dl y c o i s that t he 2 possible that he should escape were the Nepaul Government in earnest to arrest him, but we are not surprised that grave doubts are expressed of the real sentiments of that Court, although we have delighted to honour Jung Bahadoor with the dig nity we confer upon our best and bravest warriors. It wouid serve no purpose to detail the numerous rebel gatherings left in the province, but we may mention that a flying column, detached from Grant's force, was to follow up the debris of the Shahgung besiegers, who under Mahomed Hoosein are now collected at Sultanpor e , to the number, it is said, of 18,000 men. The pursuing column con sists of the Ist Madras Fusiliers, 4th Punjaub Rifles, 500 cavalry, with one troop Horse Artillery. Our next will doubtless record their arrival at Sultanpore, and the dispersion of the host they are advancing against. The state of affairs in, the province affords the . best indicationwhich could be given of the wisdom of Lord Canning's policy throughout. Had an am nesty been decreed, it is doubtful whether it would have been accepted, while had it proved successful, it would have tied the Commissioner's hands in the most mischievous and embarrassing manner, from the host of claims which it would have been sup posed to guarantee. As it is, Mr. Montgomery is unfettered. Abundant evidence has been given to the rebels that they will be dealt with in a spirit of justice, tempered largely with mercy, and the settlement of Oude upon a peaceful and enduring basis is now secured. RAJPOOTANA. General. Roberts marched from Tonk on the 22d July, for Goolade, on the left bank of the Benas, in pursuit of the flying rebels, who had taken a western course to the hills. The force crossed the Benas on the 23d, and moved in the direction of Deogong and Joonea, so as to cover Nusseerabad and Ajmere. On the 25th, the force had reached Deogong, and on the following day marched. to Joonea. The rebels, whose movements were sin gularly rapid, h a d i n the meantime crossed into Meywar, by a f or d i mpassa b le f or guns. On the 27th, General Roberts arrived at Jonwar, and re. mained there for several days, unable to move, the the surrounding country being flooded. On the Ist August, the force again moved in a southerly direction, and marched for several days without meeting the enemy. On the 9th, however, General Roberts overtook the rebels on the banks of the river, near Saganeer, and dispersed them with loss. The following telegram from General Roberts, dated 10th August, explains his proceedings on the previous day : " After a march of thirty miles I came up with stretched in a long li ne on th e o th er s id e o f th e the rebels at 5 pan. yesterday. They were Kottaree river near Saganeer. I crossed opposite their right flank, after breaking it with artillery fire ; titer then retired in a southerly direction, BRIGADIER SMITH'S COLUMN. The following is from an officer with Brigadier Smith's column, which has again taken the field : Camp before Poorie, 18 miles from Seepree, August 9, 1858. Here we are out again, after our old friend of the Padon fort, Man Sing, or Bower Sing, as he is now called. He is in the fort of Poorie, with 3,000 or 4,000 men, 3 large guns, and about 24 small ones. We left Seepree on the sth, but, on account of the heavy nature of the road, could only reach Jeary that day. The worst part of the road was that close to Seepree, where the guns sunk to their axles in the mud, and the horses to their haunches. Even the legs of the infantry occasionally disappeared in the most mysterious manner, and it would not astonish us in the least to find, on our return, a fine ripe crop of shoes and ammunition boots, for a good many were left planted in this rich alluvial soil. The road from Jeari was better, and on the afternoon of the 6th we arrived before Poorie Fort, and bivouacked before the walls. This afternoon and the next morning we spent in recon noitring, and in receiving and replying to letters from Man Sing, who says he is our great friend, and that he does not want to fight us, but won't give him self up, though his life has been promised, as he is afraid we will hang him. If we had large guns we would soon make a breach and take the place, but as it is, we cannot get in, and so are waiting patiently for the 18-pounders from Gwalior, when we will no doubt soon bring him to terms. Our force consists of four horse artillery guns (Colonel Blake's), 450 of her Majesty's 95th, 350 of the 10th N. 1., 1 squadron Bth Hussars, and 1 squadron Ist Lancers. On the afternoon of the 7th, Brigadier Smith went close to the gate of the fort, to have a conference with Man Sing. He was attended by his brigade-major only, but Man Sing, though he came out with an armed rabble at his heels, took fright at' two lancers who galloped towards the brigadier, and retired, his followers clustering round our good brigadier, and making such an awful row, that we thought it was all up with our gallant chief. I am happy to say they did not touch him, for we cannot afford to loose such a fine brave fellow, and one so' much loved in the force. As he would not come to terms, we retired to our camp out of shot, and are " biding our time." When the big guns arrive, we shall have some glorious fun of it, and pay them well. There are two regi ments of Gwalior mutineers in the fort. Man Sing is a fine-looking young man, and like our Rob Roy has long arms, reaching below the knee. We are all in good health, though till to-day we have been roughing it without tents, and, need I say, very jolly at the prospect of another scrimmage. BOMBAY COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE (From the Bombay Standard of Aug. 19.) Our money market continues easy, but, before long, a demand is expected, owing to the near ap proach of the opening of the season. The prospects of the harvest all over the country are reported as favourable. Rain has fallen abundantly m the in terior, but at the Presidency the fall has been some what below the average. However, as six weeks of the rainy season yet remains, there is no cause for apprehension. IMPORTS.

In the last few days the rate has receded 2s. Odd. to 2s. Odd. for Bank and Document Bills. TONNAGE. There is little change to note in rates of freight to Great Britain, and our quotations remain the same as our last. THE CALCUTTA MAIL. We have also received by express, our letters and papers from Calcutta, to August 7. The following summary is taken from the Calcutta Englishman of August 7 : Although three .weeks have elapsed since the departure of the steamer for Suez, we have nothing to record showing that the least progress has been made towards the pacification of the country. On the contrary, there are signs of much more work during the ensuing cold weather, when we trust the establishment of the Queen's authority in India, backed by the presence of the reinforcements now on their way out, will crush the last hopes of the rebels, and establish that supremacy which has been so wan tonly lost. It is needless now to express any opinion on the unsuccessful attempts that have been made to quell the mutiny, but we cannot pass over in silence the fact that• with the immense aid placed at the, disposal of the Government, and the hearty co-operation which every European was willing to afford, the rebellion would long ere this have been brought to an end, had the right man been in the right place. This unfortunately was not the case. With a supreme civil power to direct military tactics, with a Commander-in-Chief cramped in his movements by red-tape, with a Governor-General determined to carry out his own views in spite of the advice of Indian statesmen, possessing practical local expe rience—and with numberless proclamations, the ab surdity of which has become proverbial among the rebels themselves, the Indian Government has in the eyes of the natives, and we regret to add, in the opinion of many Europeans too, been reduced to a position, which places it more in the light of one suing for peace than one who possesses the moral courage and physical strength to enforce. It is, however, unfair to cast the whole blame for this state of things upon the Indian Government ; indeed, much remains to be answered for by the mother country. Rebels, of whose existence there hardly appears to have been the remotest idea, are reported to have con centrated in large numbers on some point or other, moving about undisturbed as they like, and crossing rivers without the least difficulty of finding the means to do so, or meeting with the least opposition. The service messages published by Government do not aid much to clear up the mystery. One day we hear that General Roberts was still at Tonk, but talked of going to Tauda, and a 'few days after wards we are informed that he was moving to Nusseerabad, whilst Brigadier Sir Hope Grant was near Fyzabad, The same service message told us, that whilst General Roberts talked of going to Tanda, the rebels were moving about and plunder ing every village on their way. Another message states that Col. Holmes at Boondee, a full march behind the rebels, but that he was crippled for want of carriage, so that the rebels, as a matter of course, escaped. Now it is somewhat strange that the enemy in all his movements never experiences the least difficulty in procuring carriages or boats for crossing rivers, whilst our forces passing through districts stated to have returned to their former loyalty cannot procure either with ready cash at their command. Those of our readers who have attentively pe rused the official intelligence sent home by each successive mail must by this time have come to the conclusion that the rebel forces have at last been reduced to a small fraction. According to the numerous bulletins published by Government the result of the several engagements with the enemy represent a stereotyped average of 300 killed and 100 supposed to have been cut up in the pursuit, with the capture of numberless guns of all calibre, and ammunition without end. In Oude, the rebel chief Banee Madho, with 13,000 followers and 17 guns, is contemplating an advance towards the Rajpootana states, and it is said that he relies upon the people joining him against the wish of their rulers. We have not heard of any arrangements that may have been made to prevent his carrying out his design, but it appears that there is sufficient reason to question the loyalty of the people of Jeypore, Odypore, and even Kotah. The Begum at present is reported to be at Mahnudee, and her followers seem ~to be wavering between close allegiance to the rebels and submission to the British Government. That noto rious rascal the Shahzada Feroze Shah continues to commit all sorts of depredations, and mutilates every native employed by the British Government who may have the misfortune to fall into his hands. Of the movements of the Nana absolutely nothing authentic is known. Maim Sing, whose loyalty seems to be guided by the aspect of politics, was besieged at Fyzabad by the rebels in consequence of his alleged adherence to the British Government. The force that besieged him, amounted, according to the official bulletins, to not less than 40,000 men, In Bengal Proper we have but few occurrences to notice. From Behar we have no news whatever, and we apprehend that Brigadier Douglas has as yet not been successful in driving the rebels out of the Jug despore jungle. In Shahabad the mutineers still continue to be troublesome, and although they are beaten whenever coming into contact with our troops, yet they have not been able to clear the district of them. In Mymensing an emeute has occurred, which shows the extreme carelessness with which the gaol has been guarded, at a time when experience has shown that one of the first acts of the rebels is always to liberate and let loose upon the community the inmates of gaols. On the 25th of July nearly 600 convicts, handcuffed and fettered, managed to overpower the guard, seized their arms, and made clear off towards Jumalpore. The collector, with the avail able guard, and assisted by the European resi dents of the station, pursued the fugitives, and recaptured about 300, who, it appears, surrendered without much opposition. How pri soners handcuffed and fettered could manage to overpower the guard and seize their arms has not been explained. Whilst most of the native chiefs, whose loyalty was never questioned, but who, it was feared might have been forced by their people to rise against us, have successfully overcome the crisis, difficulties have arisen in a very unexpected quarter. Jung Bahadoor, evidently not satisfied with the immense plunder his Goorkhas have had in Oude, has been endeavouring to create a misunderstanding, in the hope that under existing circuinstances he could extort what other wise he could never have ventured to ask for. His ex pectations appear to have been that Gorruckpore would be restored to the Nepaulese, and in those expectations he has been disappointed. Of the Governor-General's intended movements we at last know so much that he has no intention to return to Calcutta. Previous to his departure for Allahabad a special act had to be passed by the Legislative Council, authorising Lord Canning's absence from the Presidency for a period of six months. This expired on the 31st ultimo, and the legislature has now extended it to a further period of six months. CHINA. HONG KONG, JULY 22. The negotiations in the north with the Chinese have been brought to a conclusion, and apparently a very successful one. The English and French treaties were signed on the 26th and 27th ult. re spectively, and go on to Europe by this opportunity to be ratified. The Hon. F. W. Bruce is the bearer of the former, and M. de Dellecourt of the latter. For the meagre information we are in possession of regarding the provisions of the English treaty we are indebted to the North China Herald, which has published a short summary of the most im portant points, on good authority. It is not expected that we shall have fuller particulars on these points of such interest to us till we receive them from England. The treaty provides for some important conces sions, and is considered satisfactory. Chin-kiang is to be open to trade withiu a year _ fro; the signing of the treaty, and three ether ports an the Yangtsze-kiang as far up as Hankow to be opened on the rebels leaving the neigh bourhood. The other ports to be opened on the coast and on Hainan and Formosa are, Nin-chwang (Manchuria), Tang-chow (Gulf of Pecheli), Taiwan (Formosa), Swatow, and Kiung-chow (Hainan). The northern ports are said to be well selected. Ports of trade at Formosa and Hainan have been long required. At Swatow, on the coast, a short way above this, a considerable foreign trade has already developed itself. Conditions regarding the Canton indemnity question, and expenses of the expedition, are to be placed in a separate article, and it could not well be otherwise as regards the first, for we are still actually at war with the province. The amount, however, we understand, is fixed at £2,000,000 sterling. It is stated the French have also made a claim. Free access to the country is another important provision of the Treaty. The points which the Chinese acceded to, at the last extremity, were the access to the country, and the opening of the Yangtsze-kiang to foreign trade. The ratifications of thetreaty are to be exchanged within a year, and the same is to take place at Pekin. In the meantime the provisions of the treaty are not to take effect. It is not likely that the ratified treaty will be delivered at Pekin before May, 1859. Lord Elgin was at Shanghai by last advices, and proposed leaving thence for Japan, but the unsatis factory state of matters at Canton may induce him to alter his plans and come down here. The fleet at the Peiho was to disperse at once, and Admiral Sir M. Seymour is on his way to Shanghai. His pre sence is much required at Canton ; if there had been more determination shown in the Government of the place, matters would not have become as bad as they are. The Adventure, with the 59th Regiment on board, was in the Yangtsze-kiang, on her way down. At an interview Mr. Parkes had with Pekwei, the latter deplored the present state of things at Canton, but declared his utter inability to alter them, and that the Chinese members of the Provi sional Government as well as the native soldiers were as much objects of aversion to the associated gentry as foreigners were. Pekwei further stated his opinion, that the troubles of the province were only commencing, and that Hwang would not have the power to control the gentry and people. He recommended all pre cautions to be used, and expressed a wish to see reinforcements arrive. Intelligence had been received by Pekwei of the signing of the treaties, and he expected a Chinese officer was on board the Sampson, who would announce the fact to the authorities of Kwantung. Such he hoped was the case, for it would take a long time for despatches from the Board of Pekin to reach Hwang, and the gentry and braves would not admit the fact until they found it was impos sible to contest it. We have not heard of the arrival of any Chinese officer from the north. Trade at Canton is quite suspended, and it is im possible to say when it will be resumed. In consequence of the edicts of the Mandarins, numbers of Chinese have been leaving this place and Macao, and, as they take with them supplies into the country ; we have to report fair transactions in im ports. This, however, may be followed by a com plete stagnation. Exchange on England has declined to 4s. 41d. for six months' sight bills ; on India, rs. 2154. Tonnage.—The supply is excessive, and no em ployment offering. Amoy dates are to the 16th inst. Nothing had been done in tea, and the brokers had returned from the interior without 'effecting purchases, prices being too high. From Foo-Chow our advices are to the 14th inst. The prices of tea had been gradually giving way, and the 25th of May mail was expected to affect the market further. The teamen were, however, firmer at the last, influenced by reports of continued dis turbances in the interior but it is more probable the supply of the season would depend more upon ruling prices than upon any other cause, and it is , not likely that foreigners will be led into paying high rates this season. Settlements of congou reported at 4,200 chests and 2,220 half-chests ; fair to good, 13 to 15 taels short ; fine, 16 to 19 taels ; Souchong, 1,800 chests, at 16 to 21 taels short. Of really fine Kaishows it was expected none would be received. About 6,000 chests old tea had been shipped on Chinese account. The stock of new congou on the market was about 27,000 chests. The Chrysolite was the only departure. The Robin Hood and Kate Carnie were loading. From Shanghai our advices are to five 14th inst. The markets for imports and exports quiet. Shirtings.—No demand. Grays quoted at taels 1.4 to 2.3. Whites, taels 1.6.5 to taels 2. Tea.—ln black tea nothing had been done. About 2,100 packages of greens had been taken at previous rates for England. No further musters of new teas had been received, and the teas in bulk were not expected for two menths. Silk.—Dealers still holding out for higher rates than foreigners were inclined to operate at. Only 1,600 bales settled. Approximate quotations were --No. 2, tsatlee, taels 365 ; No. 3, taels 335 to 345. Arrivals-3,424 bales, leaving 1,824 bales on the market. Exchange on England—Bank paper, ss. 11d.; on India, rs. 288. Freights to England £3 10s. for tea and £6 6s. for silk. Our Manilla dates are to the 15th of July. The price of sugar kept up. Current clayed, 6 dole. Exchange on England, 4s. six months' sight bills. Mexican dollars, 10 to 101 per cent. premium. ,Freights for sugar to Europe, £2 15s. to £3. Four Russian gunboats lately arrived here, and have proceeded north. The Northfleet, taking home invalids, left this morning. We have just received Canton letters to the 20th, which mention that burnings and murders continued to be of daily occurrence. A man-of-war boat was fired on by a snake boat that put out from the vil lage of Wau-chu-kee. The place has been shelled. The steamer Pottinger, with the 25th May mail, arrived on the 7th inst., and the Singapore, bring ing the 9th June mail, came in on the evening of the 20th. Th e P o tti nger l eaves to-day with the outward mails. THE TREATY. (Erom the North China Herald.) We have received from a reliable source the fol lowing summary of the most important points of the treaty which was signed at Tien-tsin on the 26th ult. by his Excellency the Earl of Elgin and the Imperial Commissioners liwei-liang and Hwa shana, and which has since received the ratifica tion of the Emperor. The treaty contains 56 articles : " Art. 1. Confirms the treaty of peace at Nankin, and abrogates the supplamentary treaty and gene ral regulations. " Art. 2.
