The Indian intelligence which has come to hand, and which appeared is our impression of yester day, is but another version of what was already known, and on which we commented on Friday last. Every detail on such subjects is, however, deeply interesting, and it is satisfactory to be enabled to compare the state of public opinion in distinct Presidencies, to hear different accounts of the triumphs achieved by the Brtish arms ! Sir RIG Rose unquestionably occupies the foremost position, the post of honour, on the present occa sion. He had captured Calpee, driving the insur gents helplessly before him. It was indeed rather a flight than a re t rea t. The triumphant victory at Gorowlee had created a panic, and the discomfited rebels dared not encounter their gallant opponents, who had given so many unquestionable proofs of ind omitable prowess. They fled, but they fled towards Gwalior, having outstripped the pursuit of Colonel ROBERTSON'S detachment. They were animated by a deep design. A large proportion had formerly belonged to SCIN DIAR'S Contingent, and they hoped to be enabled to fraternise with his forces. To make assurance doubly sure, their wily leader, TANTIA TOPES, had preceded them some days, and entering Gwalior in disguise, had been enabled to ascertain the feeling of the troops, and to know that they 'Were ripe for revolt at any moment. He had formed deep designs for the dethronement of the Mananazin—whose fidelity to England was an unpardonable crime in the sight of the intriguing miscreant. -and the elevation of the arch-demon .NANA &NIB to the vacant musnud. • When the fugitive rebels approached, SCINDIAII fearlessly and boldly went forth to give them battle. Although numerically inferior to the enemy, he did not shirk the encounter, being satisfied of the loyalty and fidelity of his troops, and thinking it improbable that they who bad so long been faithful would cast in their lot with a broken and hopeless cause. gi s a rrange ments were judiciously made, h e hi mself taking the command of the centre, surrounded with his body guard. At the very first onslaught, however, the right wing abandoned their standards, and moved over to the rebels. Tile left speedily followed the infamous example, and the guns, on which SCLNDTAH chiefly relied, were captured without a single shot being fired in their defence.' The faithful body guard, however, nearly redeemed the day, despite the overwhelm ing odds against them and the surprise occasioned by the treachery of their late companions. They were prepared to die in defence of their sove reign, and chivalrously and boldly they dis charged their duty. One-half their number re mained on the ensanguined field. But there THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY PI V .ENINTGI, JULY 28, 185-8; will be honour to the survivors, and tears to the memory of those 10,6 were "faithful and bold" while life remained. The capture of Gwalior was speedily effected, the fort surrendered at the first summons, and the garrison willingly accepted TANTIA TOPEE as their commander. The rebels proclaimed NA.NA SAHIB Maharajah, and, as a matter of course, looted the Treasury, said to contain treasure to the amount of five millions sterling (but more probably about half the amount), a portion of the town, and also made heavy asses ments on the bankers and other inha bitants. And to find legitimate employ ment for the funds thus obtained, voted themselves six months' pay in advance. This, in addition to the trifles which each could pick up for himself, made altogether, what Mr. Jos JOHNSON would term, a "very pretty swag." Speedy vengeance was, however, inflicted on the traitors. Sir Huai" RosE, on whose shoulders the mantle of HAVELOOK seems to have descended with unabated virtue, although suffering under severe illness, and having virtually resigned the command of his division to Colonel NAPIER, was revived by the prospect of immediate action, and speedily responded to the call of duty. He rose from his sick bed, placed himself at the head of his men, and retrieved the disaster by recapturing Gwalior, and restoring SCINDIA.II to the throne of his ancestors. Defeats may be regarded with a lenient eye when they are so promptly and effi ciently avenged. We cannot wonder that the town talk at Calcutta should mainly have related to the stirring events at Gwalior. One matter occasioned some surprise. Colonel STRATTON, in command of the 77th Regiment, which had just arrived from Australia, had "marched his men to Dumdum, eight miles, with their stocks on ; an hour after he and his in structor of rifle practice were both dead of apo plexy." We believe that the gallant officer was a brave and good man. He had greatly distin guished himself in the Crimea, and was a general favourite both with officers and soldiers. It is to be regretted that any undue adherence to red tapist regulations should have prevented him from gaining the glory which, in all human probability, he would otherwise have achieved. Peace to his manes. We trust, however, that his example will prevent others from being betrayed into a similar mistake. The news from China is of a very graphic and exciting character. The account of the capture of the Peiho Forts proves that the celestials can not compete with the Anglo-Saxons. As usual, they attempted to procrastinate, and to ride off on a collateral issue respecting the ceremonials to he observed. That " cock, however, would not fight." Neither Lord ELGIN nor Biron GROS would consent to the required prostra• Eons, although these were the only mat ters to which the Imperial Commissioner could direct his attention. The patience of the Plenipotentiaries being exhausted, words and grass having been equally useless, they resolved to try what virtue there was in stones. Colonel FREESTIIN last night brought forward a subject of deep interest and vital importance to the nation ; and we rejoice to hear that it will receive the attentive consideration before next session which it so pre-eminently deserves. ] Nothing could, of course, be effected previous to the prorogation, inasmuch as all the estimates have been agreed to, and the Appropriation Bill has passed through several stages. The subject has, however, thanks to the Hon. and Gallant Member, been fairly ventilated. The good seed has been sown which will, doubtless, produce valuable fruit in due season. The matter of which Colonel FREESTIIN so justly complained was the inadequate remunera tion provided for subalterns in the British army, which required the possession of independent means, unless they were willing to embarrass themselves with a load of debt, in the vague hope that something might eventually turn up. They had to subscribe to the band fund, the mess fund, and a variety of other funds, to pay largely for dinners, to dress well, and maintain the posi tion of gentlemen, on less than would be paid to mechanics as wages. Even the most prudent young man, scrupulously avoiding every unneces sary luxury or comfort, could scarcely meet the exigencies of his position—the imperative de mands which he must meet being 157/. ss. per annum, while his pay as an ensign was only 951. 16s. 3d., leaving an annual deficit of 61/. Bs. 9d., sufficient to break the heart of any young man who had not additional means or wealthy friends to resort to. It is sufficient that the grievance has been explained. We trust that next year some adequate remedy may be provided, in the way either of increasing the pay or lessening the formal expenses, so as to enable a subaltern to live on the pay which he receives in return for his services. A remarkable little pamphlet,* in reference to the purification of the Thames, has but just now made its appearance. It extends to no more than a dozen pages of letterpress. It can be read in five minutes : and five minutes so employed will not be lost time with any one. The pamphleteer, who is not so prepense, but merely a correspon dent, states his case originally in a letter addressed to WILLIAM CONINGIIAM, Esq., M.p. That gentleman, however, having, we doubt not, derived satisfaction himself, and information to boot, from a perusal of the communication we are referring to, generously prints it for public circu lation. The epistle is addressed to him by F. 0. WARD, Esq., one in every way competent to pro nounce an opinion upon the Question of the Main Drainage of the Metropolis, having already aided materially in carrying out against all kinds of strenuous opposition on the part of antago nistic engineers the excellent system of tubular sewers, "now working," as he himself observes, with no small satisfaction—" now working suc cessfully by hundreds of miles not only in provin cial towns, but also in the metropolis." The ar gument advanced by Mr. WARD in the course of his cogent letter is directly opposed to the costly scheme of the Grand Tunnel proposed to be built, at an outlay of many millions, for the conveyance from the Thames and from London of the whole mass of sewage and rain water combined, for dis charge at some point as remote as possible from the metropolis. Instead of adventuring upon any plan of the kind, Mr. WARD would never allow the rain water and the sewage to be mixed together. Before they could reach their present point of combination, he would have their currents diverted each from the direction of the other. He epitomises the whole argument at page ten in a sentence, carefully printed in capitals, as expres sive of the entire meaning of his communication. The sentence is simply this—" The whole of the rain-fall is due to the river, the whole of the sew age to the soil." It is an axiom with a view to the enforcement of which he has previously re marked that we are virtually throwing away bread when we throw away (as we do now-a-days) the ammonia and phosphorus of the loondou sewage. " Town sewage," he observes sententiously, " which many engineers look upon as refuse to be discharged, I regard as property to be admi nistered." In demonstration of the justice of which assertion he has an ingenious little sum by which he estimates an annual profit accruing frem a sagacious application of =London sewage to soil impoverished by exhausting crops—a profit calculated by him as reaching the enormous total of 500,0001. per annum, or in other words an amount equivalent at 5 per cent. to a capital of 10,000,0001. This—through simply raising the value of 1,000 farms by at least 101. per acre per annum. The rainfall, as already intimated, he considers very reasonably to be the especial pro perty and right of the River Thames as of every other running stream in the wide world in countries where there is kuowa to be any rainfall whatever. Separately he maintains that the rain-water and the sewage matter are excellent —the rainfall for the scour of the river—the sewage matter for the purposes of agriculture. Maintaining the converse of this, he writes epi gramatically—" Each spoils the other—sewage, rainfall by pollution—rainfall, sewage by dilu tion." Wherefore he insists that they ought to be conveyed out of London separately—the rain fall being poured into the Thames—the sewage carried by tubular channels subterraneously int o the country for the purposes of irrigation. Altogether the daily dry foul discharge from London amounts to 139 tons, certainly, as Mr. WARD remarks, "a comparatively insignificant quantity if delivered as fast As produced,"— thereby securing to the capital a regular diurnal evacuation. But instead of this, as things are at present managed, or rather mismanaged, we are actually keeping (Hr. WARD says "at the lowest estimate") at leas& twelve months' excreta in the sewers and cesspools, continually stagnat ing underground. He adds—" The mass of putridity thus constantly retained in subterranean London, actually equals one day's evacuation of the whole population of Europe and Asia, num bering 800 millions. The figure is a startling one, and the fact still more so ; but a simple cal culation proves it true : for the number of the London population, multiplied by 365, gives a quotient exceeding 800,000,000." A • sudden rainstorm acting upon , the foul accumulation—by sweeping nearly nine or ten days' filth into the river "at one fell swoop"—necessitates a simultaneous discharge into the Thames of what is equivalent to the mass of excrement produced in one day by the entire population of Great Britain numbering 21,000,000. Such are some among the astound ing facts and figures condensed into this really notable pamphlet. We commend its reasoning to the careful LcruLiny of 'qr. THWAITES and his coadjutors. * Purification of the Thames. A letter from F. 0. Ward, E , q., to William Coningham, Esq., M.P. Bvo. iv. 14. 1858. COLONE f, STRATTON. There is one sentence in our Calcutta letter which we should like to have written in large capitals in every mess-room in It is this—" Colonel Stra' ton, of her Majesty's 77th, just arrived from Australia, marched his men to Dumdum, eight miles, with their stocks on. An hour after he and his instructor in rifle practice were both dead of apoplexy." When the justice of Heaven fall, or when the laws of Nature vindicate themselves, it is wrong to rejoice ; but we cannot commit the hypocrisy of affecting to mourn th 3 death of Colonel Stratton, if, indeed, he fell in such a cause.—Times. rri NEWS. ft t;tl- tained - permanently in Fort William and Barrack pore, and a proposal for enlis ing 100 European riflemen, as the nucleus of each police battalion, has been very favourably received. Nothing has yet been done towards the formation of a Euro pean militia, but the measure is anxiously desired, and Government is reported not unfavourable. Next to the affair at Gwalior, the publication of th© despatch rebuking the Oude proclamation creates the most excitement. The popular hatred of the Governor-General has in no degree dimin ished. In spite, however, of this, the publication of the despatch is unequivocally condemned. It is considered almost an act of treachery, and Lord Ellenborough is declared on all hands to have gaiuod nothing either in judgment or in courtesy since ho quitted India. The following passage from the Friend of India, a journal which di,he heves in Lord Canning, and condemned the Oude proclamation, expresses the universal feeling : "Thus far the President appears to have fulfilled his duty well. He had mitigated without recalling the obnoxious menace. He had expressed in terms not to be mistaken the disapproval of her Majesty. He had hinted not ambiguously at the policy which must hereafter be followed with the landholders of Oade, but Nature, who has bestowed upon Lord Ellenborough no stinted measure of her choicest gifts, has denied him the minor attributes of pru dence and good taste. He has inserted in the despatch words condemning the annexation of Oude, and, though as out of place as a diatribe against Hengist, they were in the secret committee at least simply silly. Secrecy, however, is not in the character of the intellectual charlatan. The paper was shown to Mr. Bright, was hawked about over the clubs, and at last published for both houses. A proceeding more thoroughly opposed to all maxims of policy, to the most common , and necessary etiquette of Governments, we never rememember to have seen. We utterly abominate the Oude proclamation. It is to us the most perfect example of what Arthur Helps is wont to call the tyranny of weakness. An official condem nation was required, but saner than that condem nation should be published we would have endured another year of administrative anarchy. The pub licetiou is a direct attack, not on Lord Canning, which matters nothing, but on the authority of the Governor-General, which is essential to the empire. It proclaims at once to every native that a menace or a promise from the Governor-General of India may be made of none effect. How is peace ever to be secured if the word of the Government for good or for evil is not to be absolutely sacred ? The natives distrust our proclamations already. Liars themselves, they believe official words to be only instruments to conce .1 official thought. Lord Ellenhot ough has contrived to add one additional distrust—to prove that, even when true, the words may be ineffectual. As for the evil so much dwelt on in England of telling the Oude men they are patriots, it is little in comparison. The sepoys do not fight for patriotism, or the landholders either. They think themselves alrea iy in the right, and no approval uttered by a Kaffir Peer is likely to in crease much the happy quiescence of their con sciences. But the evil of publicly upsetting such au order, of teaching men in arms that the menaces of their rulers are mere talk, cannot be exaggerated. Nor, to revert to the p-rsona.l aspect of the ques tion, can we perceive the manliness of publishing such a censure, while declining the responsibility of recall. Tee Oude proclamation was ground suffi cient for the removal of Lord Canning. It would have been ground sufficient for the removal ef fat'er. 6 1.diy as ire should hail the acces sion of Sir John Lawrence to supreme power, we cannot, as Englishmen, commend the man who, afraid to dismiss a servant, insults him into resig nation. Lord Canning may hold on in spite of the despatch, but its intention is as manifest as is im prudence." The Press Act expired on the 13th of June with out a remark in the Legislative Council. It is generally believed here that, unless the vote of the House of Commons should be against him, Lord Canning will not resign. His own arguments is said to be, that the Ministry, if they distrust him, must say so, and not merely condemn I isolated measures—a power always exercised by the Court. WYLD'S PLAN OF CIIERBOURG. According to his usual custom the hon. mem ber for Bodmin is the first in the field with a plan of Cherbourg, its ports, sea, and land fortifications. The plan is among the very best that has recently issued from our great geographer's establishment. It is as comprehensive as could be well desired•-• embracing to the west Fort Querqueville, and to the east Fort Imperial. To the south it extends to Fort Basquesne ; while northwards it gives the whole magnificent sweep of the Breakwater—from Fort Central hither to Musoir de l'Ouest, thither to Musoir de l'Est. Proceeding between the latter and Fort Imperial, by the Eastern passage, one passes by Fort des Flamands, on to the Litole Road, and further along by Fort Longiet and Fort du Galet, within view at once of the three outer ports and three inner basins. The panoramic out lines of the bay are completed by the Fort du Hornet, Fort St. Anne, and the Fort de la Roche Chavaignac. Altogether the plan opportunely issued by Mr. Wyld, in the very nick of time, will prove a very godsend to the English visitors to Cherbourg. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. GOODWOOD RACES.-TUESDAY. The programme of the meeting has been judi ciously revised. The alterations hove been effected with much discrimination, and although they are few, they have materially strengthened a list which was in parts meagre and unattr Active. By acting upon the suggestion made in the daily papers last year, to bring the Stewards' Cup forward to the first day, an item of interest was imparted into a card which would otherwise have provided merely a scanty supply of sport. With the exception of that event the races decided were not remakable for the numerical strength of the fields. Still en improvement in the number of starters will be made with the progress. of the meeting, and a pau city of racing will not be a subject of complaint. Nereus won the first event in a canter, and for the second the American colouis wereborne in triumph past the post. Indeed the match between Mimosa and Orianda resolved itself into a match of judg ment between the representative of the American turf in this country, and an English gentleman of ackn iwledged shrewdness in racing affairs. Each gentleman had in turn possessed the animals which were pitted against -ach o' her, and the result of the race showed that John Bull in his turf pursuits is sometimes outwitted by Jonathan. The success of Orianda proved at least the correctness of Mr R. Ton B neck's judgment. Toxopholite, who was reported lame, was withdrawn from the Grat wicke Stakes, and the race—save the mark !—was reduced to a match between Mentmore and Maid of Kent. The affair was a burlesque, for the horses walked more than half the distance, Mentmote shook Maid of Kent off with difficulty, and indeed the layers of the odds were not very easy in their minds until after the horses had passed the post. The defeat of Merryman for the Levant Stakes created some sensation, and caused hisretrogres . sion in the Derby betting to 30 to 1. He ran for the first time in Mr. Greville's colours. The Stewards' Cup commanded twenty eight runners, and was the prettiest nn I ra.._s, exciting race of thy day. it was won by Glenmasson, of whom, it may be remarked, great expectations were entertained for the Derby of 1857, but who broke down before the race. He won with ease to-day. Zouave, the French champion, achieving the coed honours, whilst the "American" Baby lon could not obtain a place. The Ham stakes was won by Mayouaise, a goodlooking daughter of Teddington, and the last event was remarkable from the fact of two out of the three starters break ing down. The weather was cloudy, and slight showers fell at intervals, and the spectators quitted the park amidst a soaking shower of rain. The c impa,ny lin the Grand Stand comprised many aristocratic visitors, but the attendance was very scanty, and altogether we do not remember a duller opening day. From our list of quotations it will 13,3 seen that the betting on coming events was very limited. The most important movement was the retrogres sion of Toxophilite for the Sr. Leger. When the ring was first formed, 4to 1 was taken about him to money, and afterwards 8 to 1 was laid, lut before the close of the afternoon 6 to 1 was booked about him. The " Stakes" was scarcely touched upon, and the " Cup" was a dead letter. THE RACING. The Craven Stakes (Handicap) of 5 soya each, with 50 added. Craven course. One mile and a quarter.

SINGULAR RECOVERY OF 4001. WORTH OF GOLD WATCHES. On Saturday last a gent named Blankinsee, a dealer in watches residing in Birmingham, was a pas seeger from G ierueey by the expre , s mail steam boat that runs between Jersey and Weymouth, and from the want of a pier at Guernsey passengers and luggage have to be taken to and from the ship as she lies in the roade by small boats. On his getting on board he found great confusion prevailed from this inconvenient state of things, and he placed his hat box, containing 40 valu able gold watcbee by the side of the iunnel on deck. Just as the steamer was about to pr , teed for htr destination, Weymouth, Mr. Blankinsee missed his hat-box He raised an alarm, and on waking inquiries he ascertained from one of the craw that a gentleman that came in the ves , ,el from Jersey, left at Guernsey with a bat-box similar to that described by Mr. Blankinsee. That gentleman immediately appealed to ;he captain, and asked him to put back, but bed dined, on the ground that he could not do so having the mails on board. A steam tug happened to be at the time near the Express, and on signalling to her she came along ide and conveyed Mr. Blankinsee to Guernsey, where he put himself in coinneu nication with the authorities, who ascertained that a gentleman, answering the description given ey one of the crew of the Express, had left almost simultaneously with that ve'ael in the " Metropolis " steamer, plying direct between Guernsey and London. \lr. Blankinsee then hired a special steamer, at an expense of twenty pounds, to convey him to Weymouth, and on his arrival there he telegraphed the circum stances to the Detective Department, Scetland yard, when Inspector Whicher made inquiries and ascertained that the "Metropolis" had not arrived in the river. He then despatched two expe rienced officers of the force, Sergeants W. Smith and H. Lockyer to await her arrive!. She arrived at the Custom House Quay about five o clock in the afternoon, and was immechately boarded by the officers, who narrowly scanned the paeiengers, but were unable to find any one answering the de - cription given. After, however, the luggage had been cleared out they saw a solitary hat-box was left behind which, howev answered the description given, and fancying some one had secreted himself in the vies-1, they made a feria search, but could find no one. A lady and gentleman about this time made their appearance, and made anxious inquiries for a missing hat-box, but they would not have any thing to do with the hat box in question. Just at this moment Mr. Blankinsee, who had travelled exprecs from Weymouth, arrived, and identified the box ; and, on its being opened, to his greet joy he found his watches, worth about 400/ , in the same condition 0. - ; when he packed them. It is, however, but right to state that the gentleman ri4erred to above is a highly respectable individual, and is not aware of the mistake ne hal made. He had been staying some time at Jersey, for the benefit of his health, and preferred going erect from Guernsey to London, so as to avoid railway travelling.

FRANCE. PARTS, TUESDAY. Despatches have been received at the Foreign office announcing that an attack was mile on the 24th, by 3,000 Turkish troops, on the Montene grins, and that the latter hAt retreated to the moun t a i ns , with five of their advanced guard killed and eight wounded. It invariably occurs that when the Emperor is absent, or on the point of undertaking a journey, we hear rumours of plots, conspiracies, discovery of imp!ements of destruction of some kind or other. This is now the case, and for the last day or two a rapert has circulated al/Jut something of that been found out a t St. Eienne, and haying d that an inquiry i s go i ng on . itis nature als h o We read in the illoniteur that the bronze plate with the inscription commemorative of the opening of the works and the inauguration of the basin of Napoleim 111., at Cherbourg, has arrived at its destination on board the Pelican steamer, Com mander Hamelin, from Havre, whither it was trans mitted from Paris. This plate weighs upwards of half a ton, and measures nearly seven feet in length, by nearly four feet in breadth. It bears the followlng inscription : " This basin, decreed on the 15th of April, 1803, by Napoleon the First, was begun on the 28th of June, 1836, arsl was inaugurated on the ith of August, 1858, in presence of their Majesties the Emperor Napo:eon HI., and the Empress Eugenie, his Excellency Admiral Hamelin being Minister of Marine." _ _ A plate of platina, bearing the same inscription, will be fixed it the bottom of the basin, with me lals, and a spedimen of every sort of gold, silver, and copper money struck during the reign of the Emperor Napoleo❑ 111.

ALEXANDRIA, July 17.—Public attention since the despatch of our last post has naturally been almost exclusively occupied with the Jeddah mas sacre and with surmises and doubts on the conse quences it may yet en t a il. Her Majesty's gunboat Wanderer arrived here esterdayfrom M4lt a , w ith despatches for the Cy clops, which were i mme di a t e ly forwarded to Suez iu charge of Mr. Vice-Consul C-ilvert. It is be lieved he will accompany Captain Pillion to Jeddah. Fr im that pla3e we have no further intelligence, but through all the comments tha; are made upon the late disastrous events a strong impression shows itself to the effect that, if strict inquiry be made into the circumstances, the Turkish authorities will not be found wholly blameless. Namik Pi eira is said to have exhibited a decided leaning in favour of the assassin:, and his as ertion that the , ur.br:'[..l:: olit,e 4.:,1 oi :lie Turkish tlag having been hauled down from the Irani is sufficiently proved to be false by the fact that previous to the naval court being held upon the vessel the Consul, in the presence of Captain Pullen, had received notice cf the exis ence of ill, plot. This was not the first warning, and that very circumstance may have had the fatal effect of lulling Mr. Page's apprehensions. He refused the offt r of refuge on board the Cyclops, saying that though some disturbance might arise he felt perfectly confident he could rely for his per sonal safety upon the protection that would he afforded to him by the flag of his Consulate. It is believed that the despatches brought by the Wanderer are of a nature to show that cur Govern ment, in concert with that of Franca, has decided upon energetic measures such as the occasion calls for. Whatever active steps are taken iu the matter by the two nations, and more particularly by England, will be anxiously watched, not only by Europeans, but by every race and nation in the East. The force at Captain Pullen's disposal is more than sufficient to enable him to exact the fullest re paration from the town of Jeddah ; and, indeed, many per Eon«, even among those who take the most dispassionate view of the *case, unhesitatingly de plore that Captain Pullen did not at once take the law into his cwn hands and insist upon the imme diate puni , hment of the ringleaders, even at the risk of finding himself compelled to have recourse to measures perhaps not in strict accordance with the rules which usually guide the intercourse be tween civilised na'ions, but which indeed could net be evoked in the CIS9 in question. TURK Y. We have received Cons autinople journals and letters to the 17th. The Presse d'Urient gives an axount. of a dreadful murder, committed in the open day, on the person of M. Audibert, a French merchant at Constantinople,while in his warehouse. The son r•f a trade , ,mair in , he neighbourhaid, Laving to call on business, tound him lying on the ground, we,ter'ng in his blood. An alarm was given, and a medical man h living been sent for, found that his skull had been split open by a heavy blow. He was bled, and his face washed with cold water, which restored animation ; but in two hours after he breathed his last. His iron safe had been broken open, and its c.intents carried off, as well as that of several boxes which had coal ained watches. Vely Pacha, the late governor of Canrlia, had arrived on the previous day at Constan tinople. Accounts had been received of the arrival in that island of Semi Pacha, the new governor, and great impatience and anxiety were felt to learn the effect of his first measures. lie had already dismissed from his posit Chefick Effendi, one of the members of the Council, who had encfnraged the people to drag the body of the dead Greek throu2h the street. This first satisfac tion given to the Chris. fans was considered a favour able indication of the intentions of the Govern ment. Still, the intellig ence f rom Cantlia was considered exceedingly grave, as the number of Christians in arms was constantly augmenting, and that by the last accounts they amounted to upwards of 10,000. They had received arms and stores from Syra, and Abinet Pacha, although he knew that these supplies were to arrive, did not dare prevent their entry. The insurgents held three stratege ical positions which they were fortifying with care. It was said alto that they kept up close relations with a num ber of Cretan refugees, who had resided in Greece since the revolution of 1842 and become Greek subjects. DENMARK.

The facts are briefly these :—A few Sepoys of the 35th, who had taken refuge in Cashmere, were tempted by reports sent by some Poorbeabs to descend on Mahopoor, a little frontier station. They murdered all the Eu ropeans, a Mr. and Mrs. Middleton, and four children, and some natives, but re t reated be f ore the Sikh Guard of the Treasury. The Maharajah must now give these men up, which he has hitherto been most unwilling to no. We cannot have Europeans murdered because he has an idea that the Sepoys are a counterpo'se to his own Sikhs. All over The North-West the troops are being housed, and operations cease until the fierce heat has a little abated. The sunlits been more deadly than the enemy. As if to try the endurance of Englishmen to the utmost, the season has been such es his not been known since 1833. Those who know Bengal will understand it when I say that on the 15th inst. ono clergyman in Calcutta buried 48 En•Jishtnen, chiefly sailors. In one ship the cap , ain, chief mate, and 21.; men had all apo plexy at once. Nine men from Fort William were buried one mornitet , fr; m the same cause.

An h •ur after ho and his instructor in rifle practice were both dead of apoplexy. Allover the country paragraph after paragraph anneunces the deaths of so many men at such a place from apoplexy. Fe r tunately the rains are se,tti , g in, and iu a mouth it will be compAtattvely cool. In Bengal the Central Government bas at 10.1 determined to establish garrisons.

The steamer Anglo-Saxon, from Quebec, 17th inst., has arrived, bringing 251 passengers and 205 soldiers of the 100th Regiment. The Canadian news is of alight importance. Telegraphic advices from New York are to the evening of the 16th. Cotton was firm, but quiet. Flour heavy, but unchanged. Wheat firmer •' but an advance in freights checked business. Corn scarce and firmer for good, but inferior was lower. A Washngton telegram says the Utah peace com missioner, in a despatch to the Government, states that they have setded the difficulty between the Government and the Mormons. The despatch substantially confirms the previous accounts. California advices to June 21 say the Fraser river gold excitement was increasing. San Francisco was crowded with people, en, route for the Fraser mine. Sx steamers. had been put on the route, besides sailing vessels. The Hudson's Bay Com pany bad placed armed vest,els on the river to pre vent emigrants from carrying goods into the inte rior to sell. One American vessel had entered the river in defiance of the block +de. The defeat of Colonel Steptoe by the Indians in Oregon is fully confirmed, and a general Indian war was expected.

He hoped the arrangement wail such as would meet their lordships' approbation. The arrangement was—that the French company who claimed to be ranked upon this estate for 160,0001., in respect of shares alleged to be taken by Fox and Heir derson in the French Rail wa y C om p an y, an d which ' , was disputed in the French courts, was now reduced to 17,0001., and he now asked a decree, in the name of Mr. Stokes, against the bankrupt estate for that sum. The Solicitor-General (Sir Hugh M'Almont Cairns) consented to thi-. arrangement. The Lord Chancellor said he was gratified an arrange' cent had been come to which was satisfactory to all parties.

His Honour, the 19:ntcr of Cie Roils, in delivering lodgment, said that the question raised in this cage arose upon the cor , struction of the will of the late gr. Boddington, and the question raised was whether the limitations of the gifts bequeathed to the legatees, vie., to his sons and daughter, and their children, and bin great grandchildren, were were not void from remote' nes3. Lady Webster had the power of appointment but declined to appoint. His Honour had no difficulty with the first and second class of legatees—the children and grandchildren—but the third class, the great grand' children, were too remote, and could not be ascertaine d in the lifetime of Lady Webster, and might not in de n time be properly ascertained after her death, so as to make a proper distribution, therefore the gifts be' queathed were void from remoteness. _ His Honour declared Lady Webster executor under .: the will, and costs to be paid ont of the estate.
