We sometimes do these things a little gigantically here. Theru have been 95 insolvencies during the month of October, but none for larg sums except the above; 58 of the 95 were under T5OO, and 21 were between £5OO and £l,OOO.

" The undermentioned princes and chiefs had audiences of his Excellency :—The Maharajah Sindhia of Gwalior, the Maharajah of Jyepoor, the Maharajah of Kerowly, the Maha 'Rao Rajah of Ulwur, the Nawab of 1 onk, the Maharajah of Dholpoor, the Nawab of Jowra, the Mahara jah of Bhudawur, the Jageerdar of Jussoo.

"On Wednesday, the 30th of November, the abovemen tioned prinCes and chiefs, with their attendants, the prin cipal native residents of the Agra division of the North- West Provinces, and the civil and military officers of Agra and the adjoining districts, were received by the Viceroy and Governor-General in open Duller. "When all were assembled the Viceroy and Governor- General, accoinpanied by his Excellency the Commander in -Chief, entered, and took his seat. under a Royal salute. "The Maharajah Sindhia of Gwalior sat on the right hand of the Viceroy and Governor-General, and the Maharajah, of Jyepoor on his Excellency's left hand. " Suitable khilluts were bestowed on all the native princes, chiefs, and gentlemen present, and the following rewards were given for loyalty to the British Government and good services during the rebellion : "To the Maharajah Sindhia increase of territory and exemption from some of the obligations imposed on the Gwalior State by the treaty of 1844. " In conferring these rewards upon the Maharajah, the Viceroy and Governor-General addressed his Highness in the following words : " Maharajah of Gwalior,—lt is with no ordinary plea sure that I receive your Highness in this assembly, in the presence of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief and of many high officers of the Civil Service, and other English gentlemen, and before many loyal native subjects of the Queen. lam glad to receive your Highness at Agra. It was from Agra that, a few days after the outbreak of rebel lion, I received the news of your prompt and loyal tender to the Lieutenant-Governor, the lamented Mr. Colvin, of the services of the most trustworthy of your own personal guard. It was from Agra that, 12 months later, when the brunt of rebellion had fallen at last upon Gwalior, a great part of that army marched which under Sir H. Rose drove back your enemies and reseated you within 20 days in the palace of your capital. These were the opening and closing scenes of the rebellion in the neighbourhood of this city. During the intervening year_and since that time you have earnestly supported the British Government with your wkole strength, and in everything have shown yourself mindful of the ties which bind you to it. As the head of that Government, I thank you hear*. I now make known to your Highness that in remembrance of the ser vices which you have rendered, and to increase your autho rity and dignity, land to the annual value of three lees will be added to your territory ; that the limitation now imposed upon the number of your infantry troops will bo enlarged ; that the arrears due from your Government on account of the assigned districts are remitted, and that henceforward no payment will be claimed from your Government when the proceeds of those districts fall short of the sums stipulated by the treaty of Gwalior. I have already told your Highness that if, unhappily, lineal heirs should fail you, the Government will see with pleasure your adoption of a successor according to the rules and traditions of your family. Your Highness and all your Excellency's subjects may be sure that it is the earnest desire of the paramount power that the loyal and princely house of Sindhia shall be perpetuated and flou rish. 1 expect, and lam sure that I shall not bo disap pointed in the expectation, that your Highness will continue to apply all the energies of your Government, civil and mi litary, to enforcing peace and giving contentment to the country under your rule.'

(From the Correspondent of the Times.) MELBOURNE, Nov. 17. The Malta, with the September mail, was eight days after her time. She left Suez on the 28th of September, and Aden on the 4th of October (instead of the 3d). She reached Mauritius on the 17th, where it was found 'necessary to dock her, which detained her till the 22d. She arrived at King George's Sound on the sth, and sailed on the 7th, reaching Nepean Bay at 2.20 a.m, on Friday, the 11th, and Hobson's Bay on Sunday, the 13th inst. Tho Benares will take the homeward mail to-mor row morning at daylight. On the 21st of October Ministers were defeated on an amendment to the Address, embodying a vote of "no confidence." It was, moved by Mr. Nicholson, who, since Mr. Haines's departure, has been looked up to as the " coming man ;" and it was carried, after four nights' debate, by a majority of 39. It is worthy of remark, that of the four Ministries which have run their course in one week less than three years, three have been turned out on an express vote of "No con fidence." There are some political reasoners here who contend that no Ministry should retire from office except upon a vote of " No confidence," and the practice is not unlikely to become normal with out an express rule or resolution of Parliament. A summary of the four nights' personal debate would not be interesting or even intelligible to your readers; but the broad feature was this—that the Convention men of all shades who voted against the late Ministry hurled defiance against the com ing men, declaring that they would " turn them out," and that they would consent to no supplies unless the new Ministry came up to their mark on the land question. The result is that in their ad dresses, hustings speeches, and authorised placards, nearly all the Ministers have bid high for their seats, even to " deferred payments"—that is, pay ment by instalments, which I fear will often result in no payment at all. "His Excellency announced this gift to the Maharajah in the following terms : " 'Maharajah of Jyepoor—The presence at this durbar of yourself, a prince sprung from the oldest and noblest fami lies of Raajpootana, and a faithful and zealous feudatory of the British Crown, is very gratifying to me. The territory of Jyepoor was loss continuously harassed by the rebellion than many others, but occasions were not wanting to you in' which to show your signal loyalty. When the rebel force approached your capital, and called upon you to surrender the British officers in it, your answer was ' Come and take them.' When the Political Agent was absent on distant duties you gave a careful and considerate protection to - his family. When opportunity offered you sent in safety to this city of Agra, under an escort of your own, 60 Christian lives. You have dime all in your power to aid the British troops by keeping open the communication through your country. In recognition of these services I desire your ac ceptance of the Pergunnah of Kote-Kassitn, as au addition to your territory. It was lately an appanage of the King of Delhi, by whose treason and rebellion against the British Power it has been forfeited. In adding it to your possessions I feel certain that I place it for ever in loyal hands. I de sire to take this opportunity of thanking your Highness and the Jyepoor Durbar for the faithful performance of its promises, and of the wishes of the British Government in steadily suppressing suttee within your territory, and in allowing no abuse i f the right of sanctuary by murderers and robbers.' " To the Maharajah of Kerowly a khillut of the value of 20,000 rupees and remission of debts due to the British Go vernment. On the 28th it was announced in both Houses that Mr. Nicholson had succeeded in forming a Cabinet, consisting of Mr. Nicholson, Chief Secre tary; Mr. Wood, Attorney-General ; Mr. 'Weal loch, Treasurer; Mr. .1. C. King, Public Works; 'Mr. Service, Crown Lands; Mr. Pyke, Customs; Mr. Baillio, Post-office ; Mr. Fellows, with a seat in the Cabinet and Executive Council, without office; and Mr. Adamson, 'Solicitor-General, but without a seat In the Cabinet or in Parliament. Some of these names must be unknown to even such of your readers as are connected with the colonies; indeed, some are almost unknown in public life here. The difficulty of the Ministry will arise from the incongruous elements composing the majority which put the one Ministry out, and which rather let the new in than placed them in power. In their hustings manifestoes they have sailed so near the Convention as to alarm the Squatters, but that fac tionless Conservatism which takes its stand on property. The Ministerial plan of deferred pay. meats is this :—They do not promise to sell lots payable by instalments, withholding the Crown grant until all the arrears shall be paid ; but any man who desires to have 320 acres is required to pay for 80 and to have a lease of the remainder, with a right of purchase Within 10 years. This will certainly impair the land revenue probably by one half, possibly by two-thirds. There is to be a land tax, but not for the purpose of sustaining the credit of the colony at home, as it will be a mere local as sessment, locally expended. From the expressed opinions of some of the Ministers the export duty on gold also is likely to be given up, and there is to be a revision of the tariff, "by transferring the duties from articles which we do not produce to such as compete with articles which can be produced by native industry." I have, however, faith enough in the practical sagacity of the majority of the eke tors to trust that this proposed transfer of duties can not be carried to an extent to amount to protection, though it is likely to check the consumption of Bri tish goods to some extent, and so impair trade. The model of the present tariff was first adopted by the Legislature of Van Diemen's Land in 1852, and was soon afterwards established in Victoria and New South Wales. South Australia has always retained the old system of levying ad valorem duties on nearly all imported articles, ti.e list of free goods being very limited. The articles taxed are those of large and universal consumption—namely, spirits, wines, beer, tobacco, sugar, coffee, and tea. One or two articles have since been added, as opium (since the Chinese immigration), and chicory, because it is used to adulterate coffee. Ad valorem duties were rejected as liable to fraud and evasion, and as being very costly in the collection. So far as revenue is concerned, the result has been satisfactory in all the colonies which adopted the reformed tariff. All the financial reforms in England for the last 16 years have proceeded on the same principle. When in 1839 the Customs duties yielded £22,000,000, de rived from the taxation of 1,134 articles, besides " all other articles," upwards of £21,000,000 was yielded by the duties on 16 articles. Any material departure from the principle of taxing the few articles of large and universal consumption will cer tainly be a backward Movement which will, I fear, destroy confidence in the stability of our financial system. The Legislature will meet on the 29th of November, and the Treasurer's " budget" will, no doubt, reach you by the December mail. It must necessarily embrace so much of the land and mining legislation of the new Ministry as is calculated to affsct our finances, and as such is of higher interest to many of your readers than any mere political question. "The Viceroy and Governor-General in conferring these rewards upon the Maharajah publicly thanked his Highness for the steady and active loyalty ho evinced throughout the rebellion, especially in issuing a proclamation, soon after the first disturbances broke out, declaring his own intention to adhere to the cause of the British Government, and call ing upon his subjects to support him in sending troops to assist in preserving order in British territory, and after wards in rendering assistance to the Chief of Kotah at a critical juncture. "To the Maha Rao Rajah of 171wur a khillut of the value of 20,000 rupees. "After investiture the Viceroy and Governor-General addressed the Maha Rao Rajah in the following words : "Maha Rao Rajah,—You are welcome to this Durbar for your. father's sake. There was no better ruler and no more faithful feudatory to the Queen in Rajpootana than Bunnee Sing. In his last illness he sent his troops to the support of the British Government, and many of them were killed in the discharge of that duty at no great distance from this city. I regret to think that he did not live to see their death avenged. Maha Rao, you are very young to be left alone, as the successor to the rule of an ancient State. I know that you have had bad advisors, and that you have been misled by them. But these men have been removed from you, and I now enjoin you to use the time which must elapse before you can begin to govern so as to show by your conduct that the Governor-General of India need not hesi tate to recognise and support your authority when that time arrives. Walk in your father's footsteps, and you will be sure of that support. Guide yourself by the advice of the Governor-General's agent, Major Eden, and of the political agent, and receive the counsel which I have 'iven to you in the friendly spirit in which it is spoken. the guns of your father's force which were lost shall be returned to the Ulwur State if possible; if not, I will send others.' " To the Nawab of Took, a khillut of the value of 20,000 rupees. " On investing the Nawab, the Viceroy and Governor- General thanked his Highness for the aid he affbrded to the British Government throughout the rebellion, and for liis stout defence of tho fort and town of Tonk against the rebel army under Tantia Topee. His Excellency also as sured tho Nawab that the Pergunnsh of Nimbhera, which passed during the disturbances into the hands of the Godsypore State, would shortly be restored to him. " To the Nawab of Jowra, a khillut of the value of 20,000 rupees, an increase in his salute of 13 guns, and a remission of a part of his Highness's contribution towards the expense of the Malwa Contingent. • "The Viceroy and Governor-General thanked the Nawab for his steady attachment to the British Government, and for the exercise of his influence in supporting its authority in Malwa. "On investing the Maharajah of Dholpoor with his dross of honour, the Viceroy and Governor-General thanked him for the services he had rendered at the commencement of the rebellion in saving the lives of Christian subjects of the Queen, and for his personal loyalty to the British Govern ment on all occasions ; but his Excellency exhorted the Maharajah to enforce his orders on the officers of the Dur , - bar, and not to allow Dholpoor to become an asylum for criminals accused of committing heinous crimes in British territory. " Rewards were also conferred by his Excellency on the principal Sirdars and Ministers of the native States who were most forward in carrying out the orders of their se veral chiefs for the support of the Queen's troops, and the maintenance of British authority. " To Rao Rajah Dinkur Rao Rughonath, Dewan and First Minister of the Maharajah Sindhia, his Excellency addressed the following words : "‘ Dewan Dinkur Rao,—With the concurrence of your Sovereign and Master the Maharajah of Gwalior, I take this opportunity of testifying the appreciation by the Go vernment of India of the service which you have rendered to his Highness and to the paramount power. You "!v lll receive a confisc a t e d es t a t e i n or near to t h e B enares divi sion free of revenue in perpetuity, and yielding a rental of 5,000 rupees a year. I believe that seldom has a ruler boon served in troubled times by a more faithful, fearless, or able Minister than yourself.' " The following rewards were also given : "To Baba Mohurgurh, Commander of the Maharajah Sindhia's troops, a lrhillut of the value of 5,000 r., and con fiscated lands with a yearly rental of 2,000 r., free of revenue to Government in perpetuity. " To Baba Bulwant Rao, Commandant of the Maharajah Sindhia's troops, a khillut of the value of 5,000 r., and con fiscated lands with a yearly rental of 2,000 r., free of revenue to Government in perpetuity. "To Moulavie Mahommed Nasir Khan, Nazim of the Maharajah Sindhia's Adalut, a Ithillut of the value of 5,000 r. The sporting world of Victoria has lately fur- nished some food for public discussion. In all our colonies, and particularly in Victoria, horse-racing is pursued with great ardour; but, unfortunately, it is almost wholly in the hands of people who make horse breeding, d ea li ng , an d rac i ng their trade. Racing is certainly in much lower hands, both abso lutely and in relation to the average social position of the people, than it is in England or eveu Ire land. The intensity of our sporting propensities may be measured by this fact, thEA although our whole population scarcely exceeds half a million, it supports its Bell's Life in Victoria—England can do no more. Colonel Robins, who has been for some time residing here as agent for the Indian Govern ment in the selection of cavalry horses, thus ex pressed himself at a recent meeting of the Turf Club on the sporting morality of our turf men :-- "He thought that for 21 years he had been on the Indian turf. . . He had been only running his horses two years ox the Victoria turf, and at every meeting, with the excep tion, perhaps, of the Turf Club meetings, there had been some ' cross' or other. (Here the gallant gentleman used a strong expletive.) Ho would find out where the crosses' were if he remained hi the colony. No honest man got a chance, and he himself had been told numbers of times ' Don't do it, Robins, for you'll never win.' He challenged no one, but he would never run a race again, for he knew very well he would never be allowed to win. (A laugh.) Whether it was the jockeys or the owners who did these things he did not know, but this he knew, he could never The Prince of Wales's majority was celebrated sere on the 9th of November with great fervour.

DEC. 27, 8 A.M. Till about ten o'clock last night the weather was pretty quiet, but then the tempest broke forth again and raged all night. It still continues. The rain has left off for a while, but. the Wind is as fierce as ever, making the strongest tent poles bend till one • thinks t Ley must break. Judging from appearances we have not vet done with the rain. With such weather as this there is little probability of fighting or marching. The Moors, we are assured by persons who have lived among them, have a great dislike to the rain. As for our march to Tetuan, it will hardly, I should think, be commenced until there is a prospect of weather rather more propitious. These rains convert the new roads—which are superficial, only fine weather paths—into swamps, or some thing very like it, most laborious to march over, and which would be speedily so cut up as to be im practicable for artillery. Nevertheless, the report of an early move is rife, and I believe everybody Would rejoice at its provingtrue, for we are heartily weary of this gusty rainy camp, and would gladly exchange it for the line of march, even though with a temporary increase of hardship. But I suspect we have still a little time to wait here. This stormy weather is unfavourable to the transport of trooops from Spain, and I doubt the army's moving until further reinforcements have come up. Major-Gen. Echague, who commands the Id corps, which was the first to land in Africa, and who was wounded in the sharp action of Nov. 25th, before the remainder of the army came over, has been promoted to the rank of lieutenant-general. The Spanish Gacela .31ilitur states the number of men who have volunteered from various regiments to join the army in Africa to be upwards of 6,000. The rain has recommenced as heavily as before, and there is every appearance of its lasting all day. THE BLACK DOCTOR. M. Vries, who has attained a certain degree of notoriety under the above name, appeared yesterday before the Tribunal of Correctional Police to an swer the charges of illegally practising medicine and pharmacy, and of swindling. The accused stated his age to be 55 his profession that of a phy sician, and his birthplace Surinam. In reply to questions of the President, he stated that it was in 1834 that he had left his country, and that he had visited Holland, America, and England, to intro. duce foreign medicines. It was true that in Eng land he had endeavoured to set up a new religion, had preached against the idolatry of Rome, and had proclaimed that he feared neither the poignards of the Jesuits nor the thunders of the Vatican ; but that affair was now ended, and he occupied himself no more with it. At Lon lon, his system of medi cine had not succeeded, because there, as at Paris, he had been unf,-.irly treated. He lost an "enor mous sum" at London. " You came to Paris in 1853," said the President. " What did you come for ?" "To introduce foreign medicine, and to propose means of replacing steam in loco motive:,." " You are, then, a universal genius ?" " Every physician is a chymist." " You are a phy sician, chymist, and religious reformer; have you not also discovered perpetual motion ?" " Per petual motion does not exist, Sir." "I know that very well, but you gave out that you had dis covered it. In fact, you represent yourself as a wonderful genius in all things." The accused then went on to say that he had been put into the Debtors' P: ison in the Rue de Clichy for non-pay ment of 500 francs, and that be had lived there in comfortable style. In a prospectus he had convoked all the architects of all nations to send in plans for a temple of Solomon, to be erected in the Champs Elysees, and had promised a prize of 2,500 f. for the best. One plan had been sent to him, and he had suspended it in his dining room ; but it was not a good one, and he had not paid the money. " You did all that," said the President, " in order to attract public attention •, and to obtain that object all means appeared good to you. 'Thus you took the name of the Black Doctor, though yen are not what may be called black ; and you wrote to the President of the Academy of Medicine a letter, in which you undertook to cure persons afflicted with cancer, dysentry, and dropsy. Pray, who made you a physician ?" "I, myself, sir," answered the accused. "But you represented that you were a physician of the university of Leyden !" " Hippocrates had no diploma ; and if the Lord himself were to return to earth to cure men, the Faculty of Medicine would prosecute him!" "When you had obtained a certain degree of notoriety, did you not obtain permission to exercise your system of curing cancer in the Hopital St. Louis ?" "Yes ; but when Dr. Main, of that hospital, saw that I was likely to succeed, he ;you'd not let me continue." " We now arrive at an eventful period of your career. In 1858 you pretended that you cured M. Sax of cancer ?" "I believe that I did cure him." "In consequence of the notoriety which you gained medical men deemed it right to ascertain whether or not you really had the means of curing cancer, and Dr. Velpeau introduced you to the Hopital de la Charite r "Yes ; and if I had been allowed to continue my system I should have ef fected cures." " Seventeen persons afflicted with cancer were there placed in your hands, and 'on undertook to cure them in six months; but at the end of two months seven were dead ? ' "Net one!" " Dr. Velpeau and Dr. Fauvel affirm the contrary. The former analysed your remedies, and found in them nothing peculiar—nothing that is not to be obtained everywhere. But as to your patients— they are at this moment all dead, except two, and those two are dying!" "At the end of two months none were dead, and since then it is not I who have attended them !" "On the demand of Dr. Velpeau you were excluded from the hospital, and you then caused puffs on your skill to be inserted in the newspapers, and had your portrait published. Did not this publicity bring you in money ?" "Your bad faith is evident," said the public prose cutor, "as a year ago the law authorities warned you that you could not practise without a diploma, but you took no notice." " You always told the people who consulted you," said the President, " that you were certain to effect a cure ?" "The promise of a cure gives moral force to the patient." " You always stipulated on being paid before you commenced operations, and you did not always ad here to the bargains you made. Thus, a Spanish lady came from her own country to consult you, and you undertook to cure her for 10,000 f., of which 3,000 f. were paid in advance. But after you had got this latter sum you learnt that the lady was rich, and you wrote to insist on having 40,000 f, with 10,000 f. down. She complied with - your re quest, but she died !" "I demanded payment from my patients according to their means . [Tho President here mentioned several cases where the patients died after the pretended cures of Dr. Vries.) Witnesses were then called. Several de posed that Vries had professed to be able to cure members of their families effected with cancer, but that lie had failed, in some eases the patients dying. M. Redot said that after the accused had treated his wife for some time, he (Redot) had asked him whether he thought he could effect a cure. " Cer tainly !" said Vries, and yet at that very moment the poor lady was dead ! His (M. Redot's) servant was so exasperated at the man's presumption that she had called him an ass and a thief. In his case, how ever, defendant had restored the money which had been paid. M. Sax was then called, and his pre sence excited much interest. He said that he had been afflicted with such a terrible cancer in the lip that Dr. Ricord had not only told him that an operation was necessary, but that it would most likely end fatally, and had accordingly advised him to put his worldly affairs in order. Nevertheless, in eight days Vries had perfectly cured him, and what was more, had taken 2,000 f. instead of 3,000 f., which had been promised. Several other witnesses were then called, and among them was Dr. Fauvel, who described what took place in the Hopital de la Charite, and who declared that the defendant did not even know what a cancer was ; also, the direc tor of the School of Pharmacy and some apothe caries, who deposed that the substances which the accused had pretended were remedies from unknown plants, and to which lie had given fantastic names, were simply alum, sulphate of potass, opium, &c. The evidence for the prosecution having been closed, numerous witnesses were called on behalf of the accused, and they declared that he had cured them of complaints more or less grave; one of them, a workwoman, who had been in the HOpital de la Charite, even said that he had cured her of cancer. At this stage of the proceedings the fui ther hearing of the case was adjourned for a week.—Galignani'a Messenger.
