By the arrival of the Overland Mail we hays re ceived files of papers from Calcutta to the 2d, and from Bombay to the 11th of. November, from Melbourne to the.l7th, of October, and from Sydney to the 13th, of October. The following is the letter of our correspondent, dated ' " CALCUTTA, Nov. 2. " On the 22d of October the Governor-General made his triumphal entry into Lucknow, and received and decorated all the Princes and higher noblesse of Oude. Your readers, I dare say, will scarcely care for the ceremonial, the formal genuflexions, the be stowal of necklaces, the small speeches and large compliments which make up an Indian reception. The real interest of the scene, besides, does not lie in them. Two days after a grand Durbar was held, attended by the majority of the Talookdars of Oude. After the usual formal greetings, the Governor- General rose and addressed the assembled land holders thus : " Talookdars of Oude,--I am glad to find myself in your country and among you, and to have this opportunity of speaking to you in the name of the Queen your Sovereign. "' A year has not passed away since this pro vince was the seat of anarchy and war. : The conduct of its people had be e n s uc h th a t th e Go vernment was compelled to lay a heavy hand upon it. But peace and order are now restored in every corner of Oude, and I am come to speak to you not of the past, but of the future. " You have all of you who are here present re ceived yesterday the grants of those estates which the Government has restored to you. " ' You will have seen by the terms of these grants that the ancient Talookdaree system of Oude is re vived and perpetuated. " Be assured that so long as each dne of you is a loyal and faithful subject, and a just master, his rights and dignity as a Talookdar will be upheld by me and by every representative of your Queen, and that no man shall disturb them. " ' You will also have seen by those grants that the same rights are secured on the same conditions :o your heirs for ever. Let this seourity be an encouragement to you to spend your care, and time, and money upon the improvement of your possessions. " As the Government has been generous to you, so do you be generous to those who hold under you down to the humblest tiller of the soil. Aid them by advances of money and other indulgencies to in crease the productiveness of the land, and set them an example of order and obedience to your rulers. "' Let the same security in your possessions en courage you to bring up your sons in a manner be fitting the position which they will hereafter oc cupy as the Chiefs of Oude. Learn yourselves, and teach them to look to the Government as a father. " "falookdars, I trust that there arc none among you who are so infatuated as to believe that the Government has designs against your religion. Even if there be any such, I will not condescend to repeat the assurances which they have already re ceived on this head. I leave it to time, and expe rience, and their own senses to dispel their perverse suspicions. But for their own sakes I warn them not to be led into acts of opposition or distrust to wards the Government by the false tales of design ing men. ' Lastly, Talookdars, wherever in any matter kou have doubts to be resolved or wishes to make nown, address yourselves to the Chief Commis sioner. He will tell you the truth in all things. He is the high and trusted representative of the Government in Oude, and, depend upon it, he will be your best adviser and your truest friend. I wish that I could speak to you in your own language. That which I have said will now be interpreted to you, and I enjoin you to bear it in your memories.' " The Talookdars,' says a local reporter,' looked satisfied,' and well they might. If one could imagine the Duke of Sutherland, say, suddenly assuring his tenantry that their farms were their own for over in fee simple, one would expect some slight marks of complacency to be manifested. That and nothing less is the effect of the Viceregal speech. The Oude proclamation, the despatches to Lord Stanley, our entire policy since the annexation, are flung to the winds together. The aristocracy are restored to their estates en masse and granted a per petual settlement ; in other words, the rate of taxa tion is fixed for ever, and all the increase of renta sure to follow our rule will go, as in Bengal, to en rich them, instead of the State. " The measure, wholly unexpected and at vari ance with every profession Lord Canning has made, is in itself most wise. The people will not revolt without their leaders. They did not even in Behar, where the resumptions have created a genuine hate of our rule. The leaders now cannot move. They all accept a perpetnal settlement as the greatest of benefits, and they all know that the first act of a native King would be to upset it. They may not personally feel the benefit for a year or two, but they are not fools, and they know how rapidly the Bengalee &minders have thriven. They are re leased at once from all uncertainty as to the future, they rc cover at once their feudal supremacy, they arc exempted at once from the visits and authority of the collector, and, above all, they are made too strong for the native officials. Those gentry, even in Bengal, dare not worry the Zemindars, and in (Judo with its martial population they must keep strictly within the letter of tho law. There will be some distrust at first, but in five years, I feel assured, if the perpetuity of the settlement is really and honestly maintained, the possibility of rebellion will cease in (Jude. There may be any amount of discontent, but the rich never revolLin earnest. " The terms of the grants are noryot published, and are very possibly severe. The perpetuity SOD :- The 45 discharged Europeans who 'volunteered for China have been sent back 'as incurably bad characters." We take the following•from the Bombay Times of the 11th of November : "Dwarka has been evacuated by the Wughers, who availed themselves of the darkness of the night to cut their way through the outlying pickets of her Majesty's 28th Regiment on the 30th ult. It is perhaps as well that the matter has been settled after this fashion, as a repetition at Dwarka of the scenes said to have been enacted at But would have exercised a mischievous influence upon the minds of the people, and given a handle to the dis affected. We take from the columns of our con temporary the Gazette the following account of the operations before the place:— "' All the transports were off Dwarka by the afternoon of the 18th ult., so, in order to make Col. Scobie's force, which was supposed to be about five miles inland, aware of out: presence, the Feroze steamed in abreast of the town and fired eight shells into it, this being the preconcerted signal, and then anchored to the north-west, nearly opposite to Roos sun bunder, which is about two miles to the north- Ward of D walla. This is the only place where the troops could effect a landing i: on account of the surf which runs all along the past, with the excep- Lion of iitew sheltered places. But there is rather an imposing fort there, and we noticed horsemen riding between it and the town, evidently making preparations to_ defend it, so the Clyde gunboat, towing the Ferote,- Berenice, and the Zenobia's first cutters, in charge of Lieutenant Wilson, anchored off it, and commenced firing, which was kept up for some lime, when the boats' crews landed, rushed up to the fort, and took it, much to the surpriee of everybody, as it was expected to have been decided in the usual Wagher style, and the colonel com , manding the field force stated that he would not have landtd there with less than 1,000 men ; so this was a feather in Jack's cap.• On the afternoon of the next. day, the 20th ult., the troops embarked, and in conjunction with Colonel ticobic's force, formed a circle round the land side of the town. I forgot to mention that. as soon as the Jacks had taken the fort Lieutenant N;xon, commanding the Clyde, landed a .24-pounder howitzer, which after wards harassed the enemy a good deal, disabling a gun they. brought to the front, killing two, and wounding a good many. . The first thing to be done was to disable the guns, of which they have a good many, and a 10-inch mortar. The artillery have gradually got their batteries to work. and for the last three hours the Feroze and Zenobia' have been shelling the town. At first the military big wigs were cautious about going to work lest they should fire into the troops on the other side ; but after seeing the practice that was made at Beyt by the ships they ought to have had more confidence ; however, they, appear to have recovered. The firing from the ships is heavier than the whole of the shore batteries put together. Her Majesty's sloop Clive arrived on the 25th, when a Naval Brigade was formed, consisting of three lieutenants —Lieutenant Sedloy, commanding ; Lieutenant Crocker, from the Peroie ; Lieutenant Hall, from the Zenobia; nine midshipmen, and. 120 blue jackets. They landed on the 26th, and next. morning at once took up a position by Moriatt's column, about 150 yards from the outer fort and temple, taking possession of a square look-out tower. They were not long left in peace 'here, for the enemy commenced a heavy fire of musketry, and after a short time brought a gun to bear on them. Before dark they had two officers, Lieut. Hall and Mr. Midshipman Pulman, and four men wounded. They had brought a 12-pounder field piece with them, but it became disabled after a few rounds; so that they had no means of silencing - the enemy's gull, and there was no cover for thm be yond that afforded at the back of the square tower, the single walls of which were too thin to resist round shot, and there was barely room for 130 men However, Lieut. Sedley was determined to hold the position at all hazards, as it was an important one. That night the Waghers made a sortie in two parties, one in- frontiand- one-eameround by the beach under the high ground on which the tower stands. They rushed on, yelling like fiends, but Were repulsed with great loss—killed one of our men and wounded five others. The man who was killed was almost cut in two and otherwise hightfully mangled. The number of the enemy killed is not known, but they were three hours carrying away their wounded. There must already have been a great number killed as every night large fires are seen burning their dead. Yesterday two mo re woun d e d wer e a dd e d t o the naval brigade casualties in trying to take.pos session of an advanced fort. When I say trying,' it was taken, and before you could make that popular exclamation Jack 'Robinson,' a midshipman was climbing up to the top of the temple, and in five minutes more the Union Jack was flying where the Wagher flag had been, "The breastworks the enemy had built up were knocked down ; the party then retired, as the place was too largo and in a crumbling state to hold, and there was a heavy tire of musketry on them. The batteries are hard at work as I write, and the ships will open fire again in a few minutes.' " On the afternoon of the 7th inst. the homilies arrived harbour, brin g i ng th e news of tho vaet place and thz escape of the garri ao in n of our the u•lti On the evening of Sunday, the 30th ult., the Waghers made a sortie on the sailors' battery, and were repulsed with severe loss. Early on Tuesday morning they evacuated the fort, cutting their way way through the pickets of the 28th Regiment, severely wounding one officer and three men of the regiment. They passed close to the 28th's camp, but that corps could not do anything towards intercept ing them, owing to the darkness. On Wednesday a c orps of Europeans proceeded to the Fort of wr asse r, which had previOusly been occupied by som e of the Waghers, but on arriving there they found that fort also deserted. The enemy either carried away or buried all their treasure, as no loot of any consequence has been found. Measures were taken to prevent a repetition of the occurrences at Beyt, but there was no. necessity for resorting to the enemy were o b serve d i lli g eh lay sca t tere d over t h e ground in considerable numbers. Th e navy an d th e buryingte On uMondayle their dead, e e v which transport rendered every possible ass . .stance to the troops by the heavy fire they kept up from the steamers, as well as from the sailors"batteries ashore, both at Beyt and Dwarka. The European troops were making preparations to return, and will probably arrive in a day or two. It is believed the 6th Regiment will join Col. Scobie's force in pursuit of the Waghers. The volunteer s from the crews of the transports, particularly of the Ramilies, were exposed for a considerable tune to a very heavy fir 6 of musketry, in which one of them was wounded.' " CENTRAL INDIA. " A campaign is about to open from Neemuch against a body of rebels said to be 5,000 strong, en camped in a mud fortress upon the banks of the Chumbul. The numbers are, doubtless; exa'gerated, but it will be long ere the ground swell of the mutiny ceases to be felt. In Bundle:3llnd, in the fastnesses of the hills and jungle of which Feroze Shah and a body of rebels are still hiding, the cam paign has been already opened : From the south and south - west three columns arc rebeths commanded separately by oe, 43 d Light Infantry ; Col. Oakes, 12th Royal Lancers; and Col. Nott, 19th a l r o e n h e i l n g P u r l o t s ' e , of MAdras Native Infantry. Col. Ross, with his camel corps, attacks them front the Saugor side ; and Col. Turner, of the 97th, advances from Banda. Capt. Wright, with 200 of the Sikhs and 40 men of the 43d, is posted at Geree, and the Brigadier has re moved to Poorania, a position between his head quarters column and Alexander's Horse, which guards the road from Ghysabad to Huttah." " We may reasonably hope that the restoration of order, by the destruction of these last remnants of the mutinies, is not now far distant. "NLPAUL. rumoured " From Nepaul it is very confidently that the Nana is dead, but considerabl e susp i c i on , o f course, hangs over a story which it is so much the interest of the miscreant to get believed." COMNIERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. REPORT ON TILE STATE OF BOMBAY MARKET FROM Oct 26 TO Nov. 10.

We take the following from the Illelbourne.eirgur of the 11th October : " Since our last monthly despatch the Victorian Parliament, under the reformed Constitution, has been opened in form, and will to-morrow enter upon Its first session. In the Assembly, Dr. Murphy has been re-elected Speaker without opposition. . • " The great race for the cham p io n sh i p o f the Australian colonies 'was, run on the Ist of October; before a concourse of 40,000 persons—the largest multitude ever assembled is Australia. The winner (Flying Buck) is a Victoria horse, and was scarcely named in the betting. " THE GOLD FIELDS. " The deficiency of the escorts for some weeks was, to people at a distance, aii unsatisfactory but -convincing evidence of the dulness prevalent of late on the gold-fields—that is to say, among the actual miners. There have been no important discoveries or extensive movements of the population to break the monotony of the digger's life. It has long; been said by men who have taken the trouble to search for themselves that the bed of the Yarra contained gold in considerable quantity from a short way above MelbotKne to a long distance upwards, and that for a length \ of many miles it could be worked most profitably Ntith suitable appliances, but the idea was scouted until very lately: A company has, however, now been formed to work the bed of the river near Anderson's Creek, and a few days since the directors and some friends proceeded to the spot chosen with the object of judging for them selves how far the surveyor's reports were true. Dishes full of sand from the bed of the river, and earth from its banks, were taken at random, and washed in their presence, and at every trial gold was obtained in a proportion promi s i ng grea t re sults to the e ff orts of the company. The portion of the river channel chosen for the experiment has the advantage of offering great facilities for the diver sion of the water, but has no indication of being more auriferous than miles of the bed above and be • low this particular spot. "As we have already stated, there have been no very important discoveries during the last few weeks. A sample of gold w as s h own in town lately as portion of a parcel of some ounces that were taken in a short time - from a claim on a now gold-field near Mount Baw Baw, on the road from Melbourne to Gipps Land, but nothing is yet known of the extent, or richness of the deposits in this locality. Another deep lead has also been proclaimed in the Indigo district, and in various parts of the country new patches of auriferous ground have been struck, but nothing has occurred for some months past to cause a rush on anything of an extensive scale. The usual number of new reefs has been opened 'up, and the old ones are yielding their average produce of gold ; but the intelligence from the mines has of late been barren of incidents calling for more than a passing remark. " RAILWAYS. " The Melbourne and Murray River Railway, the most important of the Government Victorian line, both as regards the extent of the country to . be tra versed and the portions of the interior with which it wi'.l open a communication, ie progressing satis factorily. It has for the last nine months been opened for traffic to Sunbury, a distance of 23 miles. There the engineering difficulties of its construction may be said t,) commence. That portion of the line already completed crosses the level tract known as Keller Plains, but at Sunbury it enters upon the elevated country formed by the Mount Macedon Ranges. At Sanbur3 , and at . the Big frill, near Bendigo, about 100 miles from Melbourne, the efforts of the contractors are for the present concen trated. The works to' be constructed at these two points are of such a character as to require the exer tions of about 2,000 men, in order to complete them within the period limited by the . contract. A stone viaduct, 30 feet in height, and 60 feet in length, on the Sunbury section, is now nearly completed, and a girder bridge of about the same elevation to cross Jackson's creek, the foundation stone of which his Excellency the Governor laid some months since, is in course of erection. The embankments here are about 60 feet in height, and somewhat more than a mile in extent. The most formidable portion of the work is an excavation of a mile in length and 40 feet in depth through an almost impenetrable mass of basaltic rock. It is, however, being proceeded with, and about one 7 thi r d o f th e distance is cut the requisite width, a gullet having been formed some 100 yards further. , " The Geelong and Ballarat line is also progress ing as rapidly as the engineering difficulties will allow; but some time must elapse before any im portant section can be opened for the public. The stability of the works on both these Government lines is unquestionable, and they would contrast favour ably with some of the best constructed lines in Eng land. The excess of their cost over those of an in ferior character will be more than counterbalanced by the small cost which will be necessary to main tain them in repair. " The Geelong and Melbourne line is not yet in the hands of the Government, but the accounts are being gone through, and it is probable that our next monthly report will convey the intelligence that the arrangements with the directors are ap proaching completion. Another Geelong line has been projected—the Geelong and Queenseliffe Rail way, which is meeting with some support among investors. " The returns of the Melbourne and Hobson's Bay Railway continue to exhibit the usual substan tial results. The traffic from the Ist of May to the 13th of October has been : Passengers, parcels, &c., receipts, as per last £ s. d. statement, September 8 Ditto, from September Bto October 13 4,649 8 10 Merchandise receipts, as per last statement, Sept. 8 ... £12,099 4 6 Ditto, from Sept. 8t• Oct. 13 2,458 3 9 22,540 8 4 14,618 8 3 Total receipts Tonnage discharged from ships and steamers, Tons. as per last statenteat, Sept. 8 ... 69,764 From Sept. Bto Oct. 13 Total tonnage 72,414 " The number of ships discharged at Sandridge Railway Pier, exclusive of colonial steamers, as per statement during this period, has been 63. " The following ships have been taken along side the railway pier since our last summary : The Sussex, the William Kidston, the Ida, the Argonaut, the Roxburgh Castle, the Spark of the Ocean, the Saldanha, the Exodus, the Zambesi, and the State of Maine. The Brighton and St. Kilda Railway, which joins the Melbourne and Hobson's Bay line at St Kilda, will be completed in a few weeks. This line will proide accommodation for the numerous resi dents along the picturesque shores of the bay. The Melbourne and Suburban Railway Company are pushing their works vigorously in the direction of Hawthorne, and the Melbourne and Essendon Rail way Company aro engaged in the heaviest of the cuttings and embankments along their line. COMMERCIAL. " Two or three failures have taken place in the import trade, not involving very l arge amounts. Messrs. Molienbaeek, Uhlhorn, and Co. suspended payment on the 3d inst. At a meeting of the cre ditors a statement was produced, showing that the liabilities to foreign creditors amounted to £14,760; to Australian creditors, £8,696 ; total, £23,456. The assets were stated at—goods in stock, £4,012 ; debts due, £2,956 ; total, £6,968. Messrs. Smither and Clark :gave notice on the 10th inst. to their creditors that they were unable to meet their en gagements. The liabilities of this firm amount to to £25,000. The estate will be wound up under a deed of assignment, and is expected to yield 12s. in the pound sterling. "There appears to be no immediate probability of the stocks of imported goods in Melbourne un• dergOing any diminution. The arriv sls continue to be in excess of the consumption, and the ware houses are becoming crowded. The declared value of the imports for the current year, up to the Bth inst., has amounted to £11,399,656, and of the ex ports to £10,053,803, leaving a balance in favour of the former of £1,345,843. Up to the cormspotiding date of last year the imports amounted to £9,996,697, and: the exports to £9,997,272, leaving-a balance in favour of the latter of £575. These figures show very plainly that, while our export trade has been stationary, our import trade hiss been greatly on the increase, and this 'at a time when the home powers of production are expanding to a greater ratio than is necessary to keep pace with the growing num bers of the population. "The revenue returns for the year and quarter ending the 30th ult. have been issued, and are in the main satisfactory. The general revenues have been maintained, and that derived from : the aliena tion of the Crown lands increased. "The goldfields! returns are • not quite up to the average, and, as the last quarter of the year is less favourable for milling pursuits than the autumnal and winter quarters, the prospect of bringing the production up to that of last year is now very re mote.. Up to Saturday the quantities brought down by escort amounted to the total of 1,736;569 ounces, against 1,861.591 ounces for the corresponding poi , flow of -1858 ; and the shipments to 1,827,419 ounces against 1,949,795 ounces. The escort returns for the third quarter of the year are 110 W complete, and we find ,that the'.aver age weekly production was only 44,5232 z. against 48,2350 i. for the third quarter of 1858. The weekly average of the year has been 44,0070 z. against 45,1500 z. for the first three quarters of 1858. The yield of the older fieldS appears to 'be undergoing one of those periodical fluctuations which have always characterized the pursuit of mining industry in this colony. Political excitement may have had some hand in causing the decline Of this month and its predecessor, and the share-jobbing mania has un doubtedly exercised no mean influence. Prices have varied with the fluctuations in the rates of ex change on England, and parcels have been held back. No new fields have been opened up, and the joint- stock companies are only making preparations ; they are not yet producers of the metal. " The published returns of the Registrar-Gene ral's-office enabled us to compile for our last month's report a statement of the numbers of the population of the colony on the 30th of June last.

We take the following from the Sydney Morning Herald of the 13th of October " Since our last summary, dated September 12th, the share-market has been steady, and the ad vance that had taken place in most securities has been fully maintained. The fluctuations that have taken place during the month are as follow: Some large sales of the shares of Bank of New South Wales have been made at £57 per share, but at a recent sale by auction these shares were sold at £54 10s. per share, but they are not now to be ob tained at this price. At a meeting of the share holders, held on the 28th of September, a resolution was passed to increase the capital to .1..:750,000. The new shares are to be allotted at the rate of one new share to two old shares. Commercial Bank shares are firm, and have been sold at an advance of 108 per share. Australian Joint-stock Bank shares are dull of sale. The calls due this and the next month on the new shares of this bank, as well as the Bank of New South Wales, have caused sellers to come forward. Steam shares have been inquired for, and some sales have been effected, both in the old and new company's shares, at par. General Assurance shares have been sold at au advance of 5s per share. Sydney Insurance shares hate been sought after, and have advanced is Gd per share. Gaslight shares are firm at quotations, and the new shares have been sold by auction at an improvemsnt of Gs per share. " Government debentures are not quito so firm. Terminables are about half per cent lower, in con sequence of a reduction in the rate of exchange on London. Interminables are without any alteration. " The rates of discount charged by the banks remain the same—viz., 7 per cent. for three months' bills, 8 per cent. for four months', and 9 per cent. for six months. " The banks have reduced the rate of exchange on London since last month 1 per cent. The sell ing rate for bills on London at 60 da3s'sight is nc.w 4 per cent. premium, and the buying rate par. " The quantity of golddust imported into the Sydney branch of the Royal Mint, for the purpose of coinage, from the Ist of January to the 71h of October, 1859, has been 237;136 ounces. The amount of gold coin issued during the same period has been 643,000 sovereigns and 321,000 half-sovereigns. Total value, £808,500. During the same perio r l of 1856 the quantity of golddust received for coinage was 265,026 ounces, and the amount of coin issued 791,500 sovereigns and 486,000 half-sovereigns. Total value £1,334,000. " The quantity of golddust received by the escorts from our several gold•fields, during the month of September, was 21,822 ounces. For the same month of 1858 the amount received was 31,822 ounces. There is, therefore, a decrease of 2,054 ounces, or about 7 per cent on the receipts of the month. The falling off is in the quantity received from the Western Gold-fields, but there is a considerable in crease in the yield from the Southern and Northern Gold-fields. Froni Jan. 1 to Sept. 30, 1858, the re ceipt amounted to 182,076 ounces. For the corre sponding nine months of the present year the amount received has been 214,306 ounces. There is therefore an increase of 32,520 ounces in favour of the present year. " The amount of Customs revenue collected at the port of Sydney during the month of September has been £38,643 14s l ld. During the corresponding month of 1859 the receipts amounted to £45,895 106 sd. There is therefore a decrease of £7,251, 15s 6d on the receipts •f th• month. This flecline in the Customs revenue is to be attributed to the motion recommending the abolition of the duty on tea and sugar, which was passed by the Legislative Assem bly, but was afterwards rescinded. As it was stated, however, to be the intention of the Government to propose a reduction in the duty on these articles, holders have held back payin ,, the duty, and until the financial statement of the Colonial Treasurer has been made, there will be no desire to pay the duty, except for actual requirements. During the nine months of the year 1858, the amount of duties received was £405,728 135 Id ; for the same period of the present year the duties collected have amounted to £445,194 19s I hi, which is an increase of £39,466 Os 10d, or nearly 10 per cent. in favour of the present year. " It is satisfactory to find that the Customs revenue during the last five years has gone on gradually improving, the increase on the re ceipts of the present three quarters of the year, as compared with 1855, being £117,964 ns sd, or 36 per cent. ; with 1856, £125,265 18s 10d, or 39 per cent.; with 1857, £61,983 is Bd, or about 16 per cent. ; and with 1858, £39,466 Gs 101, or nearly 10 per cent. On referring to the Ways and Means laid before the late Parliament by Mr. Cowper last year, we find that the estimated revenue to be derived from tho customs during the year 1859 was £572,250, or £429,187 lOs for nine months. On comparing this estimate with the an nual receipts of the present year, it will be seen that there is an increase of £16,007 9s ld, or over 31 per cent. on the amount received at the port of Sydney only ; now, if we include the Customs re ceipts at the ports of Brisbane and Newcastle, the gross Customs revenue will be augmented by the sum of at least £22,000, so that the real increase in the estimated revenue is nearly 9 per cent. " Some very fine specimens of cotton grown in Queensland have been sent to Sydney. It is pro bable that cotton will become a staple production of this new colony after its separation from New . South Wales. The great difficulty in the way will be labour. Without cheap labour it will not pay well ; and, although the growth of cotton may be profitably carried on in conjunction with other agri• cultural pursuits, it has as yet been found impossi ble to impress the classes interested with a due ap preciation of this fact, and to make them turn it to account." REPORTED BOMBARDMENT OF A BRITISH MAN or-AVAR.—A despatch, dated Mexico, Nov. 2, which was yesterday posted in the Liverpool Underwriters' rooms, states that two sailing vessels entered the port of San Blas, laden with goods for Baron, Forbes, and Co., at Tepic. They were, however, immediately seized by the orders of Coronada. Tnforivation was at once conveyed to the cap tain of her Majesty's ship Amethyst, who at once demanded the restoration of the captured ships. The captain's request was mot with a flat refusal, Coronada declining to give them up. The British captain then hoisted out his boats, and gave orders to cut the ships out of the harbour. On the boats approaching the citadel opened fire, which was vigorously returned by the guns ot' the Amethyst. In the meantime the boats proceeded up the river to the place where the vessels lay moored, and, after some resistance, succeeded in cutting the two ships out from under the guns of the citadel of San Blas,—Manchester Guardian, 1 ' I V -, ' -. l_lf 7 ' ' .4 - ''. • t' 4 lttt - 4 q - 4 10- * POLICY OF.RUIVI4 p7O , 0 \__ w r in s 6 7 '-.- 7.' The Laval e lusse, an r . words apropos of 'the Congregi,xpllbs 6 the following terms the policy to be VVrsuedlty Russia in the regulation of the questions which are to be submitted to the deliberations of the 4C ongress. The Russian journal says : " Let us examine what are the principal points to which the Congress will direct its inquiries. It would have been extremely useful in the month of April last, because it would haVe prevented a terrible loss mt . . blood between two powerful And warlike nations. At present it has only to pronounce on filets accomplished previous 'to'7ind since the War- The first question that presents it self is this :-L--What powers ought to be invited to take part in it ? First, the Congress ought cer tainly to be composed of representatives from- the five great Powers. According to the principles laid down at the Congress of Vienna no change should take place in Europe without the consent of .the five Powers. The Congress of Aix-la-Chapelle, of Laybach: and of Verona, which succeeded the Con gress of Vienna formed a species of tribunal for the other POWQII4. The war between France and Spain for the re-establishment of Ferdinand -VII. was not the result of that Congress. The kingdom of Greece was established by three Powers only. Belgium was separated from 'Holland by a conference of the great Powers assembled in London. Again. in the month of April last, it was proposed to convoke the five great Powers solely to decide the fate of Italy. At present it is determined to appeal to a Congress of all the Powers who signed the treaty of Vienna, which treaty has undergone a change by the pre sent situation of Italy and Naples. Rome and Sar dinia will moreover he admitted. The approaching Congress will have first to settle the affairs of Cen tral Italy. It is necessary to re-establish the order of things which existed previous to the war, or are the facts accomplished since the 25th April last to be acknowledged ? If the majority of the Powers adopt the first of these two alternatives the Congress must find means to execute the decree of the European Areopagus. Should the employment of force become necessary, to what Power will be entrusted the exe cution of the clause ? Above all, the congress will - have to enter on the question of right. The Congress of Zurich decided that the rights of the Grand Dukes are reserved. England, on the contrary, maintains that the people have aright to choose their sovereign and the form of their government. That Power re minds the others, and that with some reason, that France, Sweden, and herself have already applied that principle. The Bourbons, the 'deSeendants of Gustavus Wasa, and the Stuarts no lhnger reign in these countries. She maintains that Europe, having already admitted that principle in Belgium and in Greece, can scarcely repudiate it in Central Italy. This will be the first danger for the Congress, be cause Austria, Prance, the Pope and with them Spain. Portugal, and Naples, will not fail to main tain that the rights of the dispossessed dynasties are sacred and immutable. But this is a merely histori cal question. while the rights of the Grand Dukes of Central Italy constitute a thorny question. These . Sovereigns are connected with Austria by family ties and by treaties. Austria commenced the war in spite of the representations of Europe ; she should, conse quently, endure the fate of war, and submit to all its consequences. Austria and France have resolved to restore the Grand Dukes, but they had not the right to do so without the consent of Europe. Not being permitted to proceed to an armed interven tion, they have recourse to moral stimulants and to persuasion to induce the people to replace the dis possessed Sovereigns on their thrones. All these proceedings have as yet failed of success, and the solution of this question will be referred to the Con gress. But the Congress, while confirming the dynastic right, will find itself invslved in great difficulties if it wishes to restore the Dukes by force of arms. The influence of one Power will carry with it others. War will break out again, and we declare that it will then become a war im possible to localize or to circumscribe. Such is the object of the deliberations of the ap proaching Congress. We repeat the opinion we have frequently expressed, that the affairs of Italy are not the only ones which ought to occupy the Congress. Four years have elapsed since the con clusion of the treaty of Paris. Has the object then promised been obtained ? Where is regenerated Turkey ? Has she become a- European Power ? Has the persecution of the Christians ceased ? Has Europe obtained guarantees of tranquillity its that quarter? Is fanaticism extinguished? Can it ever be hoped that Christians and Alahomedans shall ever be equal before the law ?" HEALTH OP LONDON DUPING THE TVEEK. (R•ont the _Report of the RegiBtrar-Getteral.) The total number of deaths registered in London in the week that ended last Saturday was 1,304, being nearly the same as that returned for the preceding week. In the 10 years 1849-58 the average number of deaths in the weeks correspond ing with last week was 1,233; but as the deaths included in the present return occurred in a popula tion that has increased, they should be compared with the average raised in proportion to the in crease—namely, with 1.356. The result is that the deaths of last week were less by 52 than the num ber that Would have occurred if the average rate of mortality for the end of November had ruled. The deaths from puln:onary diseases, exclusive of phthisis, declined last week from 314 to 284. Of these figures the chief constituent is bronchitis, which declined from 198 to 167. The mortality from! small-pox increases, for the deaths from this disease in the last three weeks were successively 29, 30, and 39. Eleven of these 39 occurred to persons who were 15 years old and under 60. Mr. Mears, the registrar of the sub-district of Waterloo, first part, registered a death from small-pox last week iu Salutation-place, where he states that many cases have occurred. Scarlatina was fatal in 87 cases ; diphtheria in 13. The former seems still to prevail much in Islington ; there were also four deaths from it in Cripplegate ; seven in Mile-end 01(1 Town; four in ltotherhitho. Ten children died from suffocation in bed, aparentlT by accident, four were murdered ; 16 died from having been born prematurely. Six nonagenarians appear in the re turns ; the oldest died at the age of 97 years. Ltst week the births of 915 boys and 912 girls, in all 1.827 children, were registered in London. In the 10 corresponding weeks of the years 1849- 58, the average number was 1,609: METROPOLITAN WATERS IN NOVEMBER, 1859. The analyses of the London waters made by Dr: Robert Dundas Thompson, F.R:S:, in the month of November exhibit the gradual increase of the solid impurities as the moist. season adTances.

At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.741 in. The readings rose from 29 37 in. on Wednesday to 30.07 in. on Saturday, being respectively the lowest and highest in the week. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 37.3 deg., which is 4.3 deg, below the averag e of the same week in 43 y ears (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The mean daily temperature fell below the average on Monday, and the measure of depression almost continually increased, till it was nearly 10 deg. on Saturday. The daily range of temperature was very uniform, and the mean in the week was 8.1 deg. The thermometer in the shade fell from 48 deg. on Sun day to 29 deg. on Saturday, which were the highest and lowest respectively. The entire range in the week was therefore 19. The difference between the mean dew-point temperature and air tempera. ture was 3 . 2 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 89 ; on Friday the humidity was 96, approximating to the point of complete saturation, 100. Snow tell on Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday, and the amount of rain and melted snow measured in the week was 118 in. More than half an inch of rain fell on Monday. The wind, which was chiefly in the south-west on the first three days, blew from a northerly point after Tuesday, and on the last two days from north-east. BREAM OF THE FACTORY ACT.—At the petty sessions, Burnley, on Monday, Messrs. H. and E. Rawlin son, Burnley-wood, appeared to answer to a summons for a breach of the Factory Act, on the evening of the 3d of No -1 vember, in having young persons at work after six o'clock. Mr. Jones, sub-inspector of factories, stated that at eleven minutes past six ou the vening named he found the engine running and the machinery in operation. Sixty-four names of young persons were taken, and that number of summonses issued, but only sixty had boon served. It being the second offence within the year, the beir:l3, fined the defendants £2 in each of the fifty cases, making, to gather with the costs, in all £139 6s.
