No soonbr has a stronghold been captured, and its garridon dispersal, than they assemble in another direction, and are prepared to plunder and devastate any part of the country where there is not an adequate force to resist them. They will not, however, face European troops, unless the odds in their favour are absolutely overwhelming. Although quadruple the English force, they shrink away like beaten curs. They will not risk the chances of a stricken fight ; their chief efforts are directed to harass and annoy our troops, and allow the climate to do the work which they feel themselves incompetent to accom plish. They have not, however, tho same salutary terror regarding our allies. They will still fight men of their own race, more, especially if there is any reason to suppose that they are at all disaffected or that they may be induced to become traitors towards their legitimate chiefs. Our faithful ally &INDIA has thus been " Deserted at his utmost need, By those hie former bounty fad," and compelled to become a fugitive in conse quence of the treachery of a portion of his troops. It is, however, but simple justice to say that his body-guard behaved with un blemished fidelity and unflinching courage, notwithstanding the numerical majority of the rebels, and the shameful desertion of their col leagues. They fought bravely to the last ; and although nearly half the number remained on the bloody field, they saved their leader—who, although closely pursued by the rebels for more than 15 miles, succeeded in crossing the Chumbul, and, after a brief rest at Dholpore, arrived in safety at Agra. The assailants were a party of fugitives from Calpee, swelled by auxiliaries from other districts, and amounting in the whole to some 8,000 or 10,000 men. Against these the Maharajah un hesitatingly marched out, relying on his body guard, 600 strong, and some 6,000 infantry, with 8 guns. The battle would have been fairly contested, but unfortunately treason had been at work. A large proportion of the troops had yielded to temptation, to the artful suggestions of their betrayers.. It is said that a certain well known rebel named TANTIA TOPAY, was the chief agent in producing this untoward result, and that he had been actively engaged in tamper ing with the fidelity of the troops for some days previously. After the narrow escap3 of SCINDIA, his friends and relatives fled in every direction, and Gwalior fell an unresisting prey to the enemy—by whom it .WU speedily occupied, and of course plundered. RAO Same, a nephew of the notori ous miscreant NANA SAHIB —no tv designated as " The Peishwa"...was elevated, for the time being, to the Musnud, and is, or was, strutting his brief hour as the nominal Maharajah. NANA SAHIB himself had latterly deemed " discretion the better part of valour," and carefully avoided risking his precious life in any encounter. It is, however, . more than hietel that the tatles have already been turned, and the brief triumph abundantly avenged. Before the intelligence of these proceedings had been received, it had been the intention of Sir HUGH ROSE to give some rest during the in tensely hot season to his gallant and hard worked troops. He had announced that the Ceetral Indian field force might take the rest so urgently required. He clearly pointed out the labours they had un dergone, the difficulties they had overcome, and thg exploits they had achieved during the course lar their brilliant march over 1,000 miles -- from the western shores of India to the waters of the alumna! The men rejoiced at their comparative holiday, - brit the moment they heard of the proceeding at Gweliev, they wen anxious I nr. rig: to be once more led again, the enemy, " deem ing nothing accomplished, while anything re mained to be done." It was said that the force under Sir IlvGn ROSS, together with the division under Brigadier HICKS, from Jhansi, and the column under Colonel SMITH, from Chunbrace, were already before Gwalior, and there was a by no means improbable rumour, that the town had baen recaptured, with terrible loss to the enemy. Sir EDWARD LIIGARD had gained another vic tory on the 27th of May, having defeated the insurgents at Jugdespore, and _captured all the guns taken at Arrah. __ Et great act of justice had been executed. The Chief of Nurgoond, who had brutally murdered Mr. MANSON, the political agent, was tried on the 11th, and hanged at Belgaum on the 12th June. The atrocity required exemplary punishment, and the prompt and unhesitating manner in which it was inflicted will strike terror into many chiefs who would aot in a similar manner if they dared. Rohilcund is tolerably quiet, and the people of Oude are gradually making submission, while the disarming process goes quietly and regularly for ward. We must expect these chequered accounts for some time, and be contented so long as no formidable reverse has been sustained, We earnestly invite public attention to a letter headed " An Officer's Complaint," which wo have extracted from the columns of a respected con temporary, the Northern Ensign. It exposes a case of gross hardship. The writer may be re garded as a representative man—one that fairly shows the class of those who, by steady and meri torious conduct, have worked their way upward from the very beginning, and who have at length been seriously injured by what was facetiously termed a reward for valuable services. The writer states his case simply and clearly. He gives a plain statement of facts. But what facts ? After being engaged as sergeant at the Alma and Inkerman, and during the whole siege of Sebastopol, never absent from duty during that arduous campaign, performing an officer's duties before he received his epaulettes, he was at length rewarded with an Ensigncy. What "competitive examination" could be equal to this stringent test of competency—one spread over years and sealed with the blood of England's enemies, if not his own But he had soon mime to regret the delusive kindness. Scarcely was he a commissioned officer than ho was put on half-pay, and consigned to wearisome inaction for the remainder of his life. Could he have foreseen the future he would never have relinquished the halberd. He might naturally have conceived that the services of a tried and experienced man, "free, able, willing to serve, and not yet twenty eight years of age," would have been anxiously sought after, whenever the time of " playing at soldiers" should again be brought to a conclusion. But, alas ! he has no wealth to purchase an appointment ; he cannot " coin his blood into shekels ;" nor has he an aris tocratic relative or patron to transmit such a valuable hint as "Take care of D0W8.," along the magical wires. He has nothing but proved merit and faithful and unflinching devotion and bravery. These, alas !do not suffice, and notwithstanding the numerous commissions that have been bestowed " without purchase" within the last two years, no crumb has fallen from the overladen table at the Horse Guards to the share of a true-hearted "Sutherland Highlander." We believe that it only requires to bring such a case to the notice of General PEEL to insure prompt inquiry and speedy redress. We should not have much hops from L.ad. PANmur.E. But the present Secretary at War has done more in weeks than his predecessor did in almost as many years, and ho has displayed an anxiety to do his duty fairly and honestly. With him, we believe, the Sutherland Highlander would have as good a chance as even the mighty " Down." himself. Everybody who glanced through the melan choly records of the Committee of Inquiry into the wrongs endured by Mr. BABBBIt must have been startled by those cruelly accumulated upon his ill starred but innocent head in Norfolk Island, chiefly, as it appeared, through the gratuitous brutality of the Commandant. It would be well, for the sake of humanity, that Major CHILD should clear his name from the odium, the ignominy, the abhorrence attached to it by this part of the evidence, by his own revolt ing and odious revelations. We are loth to credit the accuracy of the statements to which he him self appears to have acknowledged. We would fain believe that his memory is flawed in the matter by some singular hallucination. Can it be really possible, according to Maj )r CHILD'S own statements, that upon the arrival in Norfolk Island of the two wretched convicts— Mr. BARBER even then presumed by many to have been wrongfully convicted, and FLETCHER clearly and glaringly proved to have been guilty of Forgery—the villain was employed at once and permanently as a medical dispenser, with superior rations and a private apartment, while the presumed victim of his crime, poor Mr. BAR BER, whose innocence was happily in the fullness of time clearly demonstrated, was infamously put to the loathsome office of a wardsman, relieved once by stonebreaking on the roadside and later by working in the open fields chained, heavily laden with irons, among the dregs of that hell upon-earth—murderers, and the friends of mur derers. As to the filthy duties of the wardsman Major CHILD has himself described them in one sickening sentence—" lie— rllr. BARBER, this gentleman of education, this innocent • man, as it turned out, weak in frame and shattered in health by hie cruel persecutions]—he was put to the offensive employment of cleansing and scour ing out the urinals used by 200 prisoners." He had no extra rations, like the Forger FLETCHER. He had no private apartment of his own, but had to sleep amongst the miserable gang of these wretched creatures. No marvel his weak ened health gave way under the filthy occupation and the foul surroundings. Ho goes to the hos pital. He is sent by the medical superintendent to break stones on the road, instead of cleansing and scouring those detestable urinals. While he is one day breaking the stones by the highway, rides up to him Major CHILD, the Commandant. " What do you hero ?" he asks. " Sir," says Mr. BARBER, 64 I am ordered to break stones by the medical superintendent." " I will not have that," is the curt rejoinder. The Commandant rides up to the station and issues his instructioLs that the poor gentleman shall forthwith return to his abominable office as wardsman. Mr. BARBER is engaged shortly afterwards at his loathsome task over the urinals with his health a g a in sadly dr,oli.ig—when Major CHILD ap preached him with the query,." What is yutr objection mteoeleatniinsL"your ward ?" Mr. BARBER'S reply it is destroyin g I have made no objection : my health, but I have made no objection." "How d oes i t i n j ure your hea l t h ?" asks Major CHILD. Mr. BARBER explains that the work is most disgusting, that the office is fraught with humiliation. Major CHILD wain asks (as though he had been deaf), 4; H ew d oes it ON, IyIO,VDAY EVENING, JULY 19, 1858! S 1P L 0 Mr. BARBER then becomes " injure your Leal' particulars. " Independently explicit, enters' i ll " of exhalations,' ' be says, " I have had wet feet every morning fr. -42 going out in a heavy dew," —he had to empt the urine tubs for 200 pri soners before the wc. v;-..k of cleansing and scouring. "Then put your sho€l.4 on," says the Commandant. But, observes Mr. BA BBER, in answer to the objec tion, " That is of u o use ; they will soon get "Then take them off," is filled with water." the rejoinder. Facet ious Major CHILD ! Gay, light-hearted humorist I f Mr. BARBER'S account of the interview adds. that the Major strode away after having said this, laughing at his own pleasantry. Major thin p's account differs from It only so far that he says` to the Committee of the House of Commons, "I do not think I laughed at his misery." Ultimately comes the unfortunate gentleman's work in the fields among the chained gang of homicides. Among his asso ciates poor Mr. BARBER recognises the friends of two murderers, against whom he himself had formerly given evidence. He is in momentary fear for his life. He implores to be removed elsewhere. Major Can* rejects the request pitilessly. The moral of the whole story is this, that Major CHILD is eventually dismissed from his post for general misconduct—Mr. BARBER being at length set free as a man most cruelly wronged, because from first to last perfectly innocent. And what is the testi mony given by the chaplain of Norfolk island, as to his behaviour throughout the whole of those inhuman persecutions ? Read it—" I have never known a prisoner of the Crown who has been subjected to greater wretchedness. I re joice to be able to add that I have never seen an instance of more dignified suffering accompanied by invariably consistent conduct." Honour and sympathy to him—that true•hearted Christian gentleman. And as to Major CHILD, cannot he, for the sake cf humanity, disprove some of his own lamentable statements ? LEE STEVENS' REGULATING AIR DOORS. We publish an official copy of the report made to the Hon. the Corporation of tke Trinity-house by the chief engineer of the Trinity steamship Argus, relative to the ascertained results from th use of the patent regulating air dcors fitted to her steamboiler furnaces by Mr. John Lee Stevens. The report testifies to the success of the patent : "In complianoe with the order of the Committee for Lights I beg to state, in my previous report on Mr. Lee SW.evens' patent regulating air doors fitted to the boilers of the Argus, I stated that the invention prevented the emission of flarue from the tops of the funnels, and thereby materially diminished the heat therein, and that the engine room was better ventilated. I have nuw to report that, after re peated trials and weighing of different sorts of coals for many hours at each time, a saving of fully 10 per cent. is the result for Welsh coal, and for Hartley coal a saving of fully 20 per cent., at the same time keeping good steam and the smoke cut off very quick. I would also state that, from the first fitting of the patent doors eight months ago to the present time no injury whatever has been done by the action of the fires to tho apparatus." The report is dated July, 1858 ; and essentially agrees with reports relative to this invention made during the past and present years, by the engi neering departments of the General Screw, Euro pean and American, Newcastle and London, Belgian Continental Screw, and other steam shipping com panies. As regards its utility for laud furnaces, by Sir Anthony Rothschild, the Victoria (London) Docks Company, Messrs. Keens and Waich and Day and Martin, J. T. Norris, Esq., M.P., and various other private firms, the most conclusive evidence has been given in its favour. Our own opinion of Mr. Lee Stevens' ability in furnace work has long since been recorded, and remains unchanged, so that it is a matter of surprise to us that a gentleman so practically successful should not be encouraged by Government patronage. MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.-0❑ Saturday a marriage was solemnised between Mies Lechmere, daughter of the late Sir Edmund Lechmere, Bart., of the Rhydd Court, Worcestershire, and M. d'Arras. The ceremony took place in Warwick-street Chapel. After the ratification of the civil contract, high mass was celebrated by Car dinal Wiseman, assisted by Monsignor° Searle and the 11-n. nr.d rt? 7 ot Much gossip (says the Court Journal) has been current in diplomatic circles concerning the reception awarded by the Emperor of Austria to the Princess de Gonzaga, wife of Prince Gonzna, who has so long been a wanderer and disowned on the face of the earth, deprived of his inheritance and repulsed by his fellows, to whom, so it is said, the Emperor generously sent a contribution of 10,000 franca to assist in the prosecution of his claims to the titla and estates of Gorziga. All believe the claims to bejust, but means are wanting to prove them. The Emperor of Au Aria has pronounced himself entirely in favour of the Prince. The Princess Gonzna is an English lady." HE R EPRESENTATION OF COLCHESTER.--Mr. Philip T Oxendon Papillon has been accepted by the heads of the Conservative party at Colchester as a suitable candidate to be proposed in the event of a general election with Mr. T. J. Miller, one of the present sitting members. Mr. Papillon has attended and addressed, in conjunction with Mr. Miller, a meetiig of the Conservative Asso ciation established in the borough, acd a resolution pledging the members of the association to use their utmost exertions to secure the return cf both gentlemen, when the country is appealed to, was carried unani mously. The other seat for the borough is at present occupied by Mr. J. Gordon Rebow, a moderate liberal. THE CHARGE OF MURDER AGAINST TWO CAPTAINS.— On Friday, George Menham, captain of the Reliance of Sunderland, tied Edwin Fox, captain of the Schiedam, of London, were re-examined before the Sunderland ma gistrates on the charge of murdering William Barron, a seaman. The principal evidence given at the first examination has already appeared in our paper. It will be remembered that the two vessels were lying at Ham burg, and that the deceased, who belonged to the Re liance, came on board the other ve , sel in a state of in toxication, and began larking with the men ; whereupon a scuffle took place between him and Fox, and that Fox and Menham, who was also on board the Reliance, then deliberately heaved the man overboard. William Ram say, a seaman on board the Reliance, who deposed to these facts on Wednesday, was now cross-examined, and some other evidence was taken, when the bench unanimously committed the prisoners for trial on the charge of " Wi'ful murder."—Sunderland THE MAILS, &C.—SOUTHAMPTON, July 17.—The Peninsular and Oriental Company's screw steamer _Alhambra ' Captain Steward, took her departure to-day for Vigo, Oporto, Lisbon, Cadiz, and Gibraltar, with the mails, 32 passengers (including Maier Vandeleur), 4501. in specie for Lisbon, jewellery value 191. for Gibra!- tar, and the usual cargo.

AUSTRALIA. SOUTHAMPTON, JULY 18. The Teviot arrived here this day with the heavy portion of the Australian mail. The Teviot left Alexandria on the 2d, and Malta on the 6th instant. She brought home about 70 passengers from New Zealand, Sydney, Melbourne, Ceylon, Aden, and Malta. kler mail consisted of about 120 sacks and boxes of letters and papers. Amongst her cargo was Australian gold to the value of 140,28 W., plate and jewellery worth 4651. a quantity of opium, flax, elephants' tusks, and a' mummy. The Teviot was due on the 6th, but she has been delayed, partly owing to the late arrival of the Australian mail steamer European at Suez, and partly to her own machinery giving way on the outward voyage. The European, it appears, left Australia after time, but she made this up by the time she reached Point de Galle. She was then, however, obliged to go 600 miles out of her course to avoid the monsoon, and this made her late at Suez. The Teviot has come all the way home from Alexandria with one engine. She experienced fine weather and easterly winds through the Straits, then thick weather for a day or two, and after that fine weather and south-westerly winds. She spoke the Norwegian barque Emanuel on the Bth inst., and the paddlewheel steamer Rainbow, of Liver pool, steering to the south-west, on the 14th. The Australasian will bring the next Australian mail and news of which will be due in England on the 29th inst. The Teviot will in August bring home amongst her passengers the Mayor of Melbourne, with-an address from the colonists of Victoria, con gratulating her Majesty on the marriage of her eldest daughter, the Princess Royal. This mission of the mayor to England is looked upon in Victoria as an interesting event. The chief magistrate of the richest colony in the worli is about to travel a distance of 13,000 miles—that is, more than over half the globe—to pay homage, in the name of the colony, to the Queen of England, on such an occa sion connected with her domestic happiness. THE THEATRES. DRURY-LANE. .On Saturday Mr. E. T. Smith, the lessee of this theatre, took his benefit at the close of the Italian operatic season. The opera given was Don Giovanni, with the following cast :—Donna Anna, Madame Vier dot Garcia; Elvira, Madame Sedlazek ; Zsrlina, Madame Persiani ; Don Giovanni, Signor Badiali ; Don Ottavia, Signor Naudin ; Leporello, Signor Revere ; Commen date, Signor Manfredi; Masseto, Signor Kinni. At the close of the opera, and after the principal performers had been called before the curtain, Mr. Smith, obeying the repeated call of the house, made his appearance, and said : "Ladies and Gentlemen,—Permit me thank you for your kind reception and for the bumper of this evening. Having been latterly so much engaged in foreign affairs, I thought at first of addressing you in Italian ; but, my friends, I am satisqed, above—(a laugh)—and other friends beside me would, I think, prefer to have it in plain English. In engaging the artists for this theatre for Italian opera I sincerely trust that I have carried out the idea which I had promised, and kept in a satisfactory manner the promise which I had made. My object was during the ten weeks in which the Italian operas have been performed to engage such artists as would not only give satisfaction to all, bat amusement to the working classes cf this metropolis, who, I sincerely trust, appreciate the exertion of one who does all in his power to carry out the principles of free trade in every department, and who has been en abled to provide for them for sixpence, one shilling, and eighteenpence such artists as they could not obtain at any of the "singing-houses" full of smoke, or she where. (Langhttr.) Ladies and gentlemen, I have pro duced thirteen operas in ten weeks, and although I have ' not been able to produce a chorus such as I could have wished, because although some have kindly come for ward to assist me, ethers have been prevented doing so by their being engaged at the other two houses, I sin cerely trust, however, that you will appreciate the ser vices of those who have done all in their power to con tribute to your amusement night and day, and to assist in producing operas in such a manner as to' give the greatest satisfaction in their power. To every artist in the establishment I am sincerely indebted ; to Mr. Stirling, the stage manager, to carpenters, scene painters, and every one, in short, who has been engaged on the premises. My friend Becky' in the Haymarket—(a laugh)—kindly alluded to the solvency of three of the London managers--himself, the manager of the Olympic, and of the late Adslphi. He also expressed himself as astonished to think that we should produce three operas in this metropolis. New, Ido not know why you should not enjsy Italian operas at a low figure, if it will answer my put pose to give them to you ; so that you can come into the pit at eighteenpence and see the same artists for whom you would pay a guinea over the way. (A. laugh.) I feel deeply indebted to the press of this country for the position in which.they have placed me by their remarks. But there are certainly one or t , T.r, gcu'lerrien c tricot-a wit% tl.e pees at, whose remarks lam surprised. Filet, they have said of Naudin that he was used up, that he was very well in his way, but his voice was ropy'—(a laugh)—the same of Badiali and Fumagalli, who was only twenty-four years of age. (Cheers.) There are some of those connected with the press who do not receive the same favours from your humt le servant that others can give them at other theatres. The humble individual who now addresses you has not subscription lists of my Lord Tom Noddy and others. You have subscribed to the list of a man who has worked hard for what be now produces, and the sub scription list has been, and I hope will long be, your approbation and appreciation of my humble her. vices. (Loud cheers.) I will only inform you that I shall always make it my endeavour to induce the working classes to come to this theatre, and I have reduced the prices so that they can come here and enjoy music, which will not only instruct them, but at the same time inspire their soulsjwith the noblest feelings. (Cheers and laughter.) On S.W. 13, having had sufficient of Italian, you will have your own company of English singers here—the Pyne and Harrison company. I have engaged them all to appear here with the pantomimes, so that you will have a double treat, a pantomime and a new English Opera. After that you may have Italian opera again, for I have been promised by-numerous genlemen from the clubs that if they can come here and seat them selves in the boxes to witness such operas as have been now produced for one guinea, instead -of or 12 guineas, which they would have to pay elsewhere, they will come here. (Cheers.) I shall be most happy to re ceive any suggestion which may be made to me, and it will always be my study to endeavour to the utmost of my power to amuse you whenever you coma to 0:d Drury. (Loud and continued cheering followed the delivery of this address, and calls for Signor Naudin, who appeared and bowed his acknowledgments.) SIR EDWARD AND LADY BUMPER LYTTON. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Srn,—As the son of Lady Bulwer Lytton, with the best right to speak on her behalf, and so ob viously with the best means of information as to warrant the hope that my simple assertion will be at once believed in the matter to which I am com pelled to refer, I beg to say that the statements which have appeared in some of the public journals are exaggerated and distorted, and that they are calculated to convey to the public mind impressions the most erroneous and unjust. As was natural, I pot myself in constant communication with my mother, and with the gentleman with whcse family, in his private house, she was placed (for I beg dis tinctly to state that she was never for a moment taken to a lunatic asylum), and I carried out the injunctions of my father, who confided to me im plicitly every arrangement which my affection could suggest, and enjoined me to avail myself of the advice of Lord Shaftesbury in whatever was judged best and kindest to Lady Lytton. My mother is now with me, free from all re straint, and about, at her own wish, to travel for a short time, in company with myself and a female friend and relation of her own selection. From the moment my father felt compelled to authorise those steps which have been made the subject of so much misrepresentation, his anxiety was to obtain the opinion of the most experienced and able physicians, iii order that my mo th er should not be subject to restraint for one moment longer than was strictly justifiable. Such was his charge to me. Tlie certificates given by Dr. Forbes Winslow and Dr. Conolly are subjoined ; and I ought to add that Dr. Conolly was the physician whom my father had requested to see Lady Lytton ; that Dr. Forbes Winslow was consulted by my mother's legal advisers ; and I felt anxious to obtain the additional authority of the opinion of the latter gentleman, and requested my friend Mr. Edwin James to place himself in communication with him. I trust that such journals as have given publicity to partial and inaccurate statements will do me the justice ti publish this communication, to which I need add no more than to say, that this painful matter has been arranged, as it ought to be, by the members of the family, whom it exclusively reprcle. —I have the honour to be , sir , your most obedient servant, . ROBERT B. LYTTON. Park-lane, July 17, 1858. - (Copy. No. 1.) To Edwin James, Esq., Q.C. Having, at your request, examined Lady B. ktton this day as to her state of mind, I beg to re port to you that, in my opinion, it is such as to justify her liberation from restraint. I think it but an act of justice to Sir Edward B. Lytton to state that, upon the facts which I have ascertained were submitted to him, and upon the certificates of the medical men whom he was advised to consult, the course which he has pur sued throughout these painful proceedings cannot be considered as harsh or unjustifiable. —I remain, sir, your obedient servant, . FORBES WINSLOW, M. D., D. C.L'. 23, Cavendish-square, July 16, 1858. (Copy. No. 2). London, July 17, 1858. Sir,—Notwithstanding the decided opinion which I felt it my duty to express with reference to Lady Lytton, after my visit to her at the private resi dence of Mr. and Mrs. Hill, and which, I need not repeat, justified the course you adopted, I have much satisfaction in hearing of the arrangements which have been made for her leaving their family in the society of her son, and of her female friend. —I have the honour to be, sir, very faithfully, your obedient servant, J. CONOLLY, M.D. To the Right Honourable Sir Edward Buiwer Lytton, Bart., M.P., &c. AN OFFICER'S COMPLAINT. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN ENSIGN. Sir,—Will you kindly grant me a small space in your widely circulated journal ? I belong to a class of people whose grievances are well known, but apparently little regarded. I am an unfor tunate half-pay officer, who has been promoted for merit from the ranks during the late war in the Crimea, and subsequently placed on the half-pay list. t have been engaged with one of the regi ments of the Light Division of the army as ser geant at the battles of the Alma and Inkerman, and during the whole of the siege of Sebastopol I never was absent from duty during that arduous campaign, and for months I performed the duties of an officer when I was but a sergeant. Previous to the close of the campaign. I was re commended for and afterwards obtained a commis sion, for which I am very gratel'ul, hat, ai.er the iat uky ztrrtVott in England, I was, as I said before, placed on the half-pay li s t. I have tried all in my power to obtain re-employment in the army, but all in vain, although I am free, able, and willing to serve, and not yet twenty-eight years of age. There are numbers of officers now sent out to India, to fill up vacancies in the army, where I would willingly serve if I only was permitted, but these are men who purchase their appointments, and becabse I am not able to imitate them, I sup pose I must remain as I am till doom's day. It is true that I am a poor man, with no influ ential relations. I have no great friends in high quarters, but still I cannot see why I am not al lowed to serve my Queen and country after having obtained a commission, as well as before. This, sir, is the grievance that I have referred to. IViy - case is not an exception, but I lay it before you as an illustration of many more that I know of. Surely if we were considered worthy of her Ma jesty's commission in the army for our services during the late war, we ought to be still permitted to serve. Can you, sir, tell me the reason that we are not ? A SUTHERLAND HIGHLANDER. Kirkwall, July 9, 1858. LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.) COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. IN RE CALvERT AND CO.-TRADE DEBTOR A. trade debtor summons was appointed to be heard this day, against Messrs. Calvert and C)., for a sum of about 2,000/., but the case was not argued as the debt was admitted and a private arrangement made which did not publicly transpire. POLICE INTELTJGENCE.—(This Day. MARLBOROUGEISTREET. BRUTAL ASSAULT ON A CONSTABLE:IiaMe3 Copley, a stonemason, was charged before Mr. Beadon with the following brutal assault oa M`Bean, 130 C, an officer of 18 years' standing. 1114 Bean said that on the previous day in Moor-street, Soho, he Fa w the prisoner driving a cab, and a cabman came running up saying that the man bad got his cab. The prisoner then stopped, and on his attemptinz to take him into custody he gave him two severe blows, and when he was on the ground gave him two violent kicks, one in the stomach and the other on the chest, from which he suffered great pain, the kick on the chest causing him to spit blood all the morning. The prisoner, on being charged by the cabman, said he ha I only taken it for a "lark." The cab , lan did not stop to sae what might happen, but as soon as he got his cab drove off. The prisoner, he believed, was a stonemason, working for the parish of James's. The conduct of the prison er was very violent, and it took four constables to take him into custody. In answer to Mr. Leadley, the chief clerk, M'Bean said he had born to a surgeon, who had ordered him to remain very quiet for a few days, as he wris suffering from internal injuries, _ The prisoner said he had been a teetotaller for two years and a-half, and had a little to drink. The cabman wished him to have a ride and he drove. Mr. Beadou said he was receiving parochial relief, was found driving in a cab without a lieener., and when the constable came up be struck him, and afterwards kicked him in a very serious manner. Ha should remand him for a week to see what might be the result of the injuries. T H E 3. AN OLD•ESrABLISIIED NUISINCE.—Mrs. Coflyer, a woman about 35 years of age, who has been charged at this office with being drunk and disorderly upwards of 250 times, and has been committed to prison on 30 or 40 different occasions, was again brought up before Mr. Self*. Pellow, a police-constable, No. 274 K, said the pri soner was drunk and disorderly yesterday, and sur rounded by a turbulent crowd. The prisoner, who is the wife of a gentleman holding a lucrative situation in one of the docks, and who al. lows her a vary handsome stipend, said she would not get drunk any more, and if the magistrate overlooked this offence, she would never appear before his worship again. Mr. Selfe—So you said last week. You are a married woman, and have a family, and y in have for many years been a nuisance to the district. The prisoner—l will take the pledge of sobriety this day. Mr. Selfe—l am afraid you are an incorrigible drun kard, and never will keep sober. You have bee❑ here 20 times at least. A gentleman in court—She Las been hero 300 times in the c.rurse of the last 16 years. Mr. St lfe—l am speaking of my own experience for two years only. The prisoner made an earnest aeal to be forgiven ; and Mr. Selfe said h e wou ld give her p one more chance, and one only, and set her at liberty. STATE OF TIM THAIIES.—The Parliamentary Commit tee met this day for the consideration of thei► report. The public were not admitted. MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.) CORN EXCHANGE. The leading country markets, held on Saturday, were but moderately supplied with wheat, which sold lowly, at a slight reduction in prices. For barley and spring corn there was a fair demand, at full quotations; but flour met a slow sale. Most of the country markets were very inactive for wheat. Other produce, however, has sold at previous rates. The shipments to England continue on a full ave• rage scale. Up to our market [last week, the arrivals of English grain were on a very limited scale. From abroad we re ceived 28,987 qrs. of wheat, 10,701 barley, 60,621 oats, 730 beans, 1,856 peas, 720 linseed, 1,421 rapeseed, 10 mustard 718 sundry, 285 sacks and 11,151 brls. of flour. The arrivals of English wheat fresh up this morning, coastwise and by land carriage, were on a very moderate scale. Notwithstanding that the show of samples of both red and white was rather limited, the demand for all kinds ruled heavy, and in most transactions prices were 2s per , quarter lower than on this day se'nnight. There was no new wheat in the market, but harvest work will be com menced, both in Kent and Essex, on Thursday next. We were extensively supplied with all kinds of foreign wheat. The demand ruled heavy, and prices were fully is per quarter lower than on Monday last. In floating cargoes of grain very little business was transacted. A sample of new English barley—small, but in nice con dition—was on offer at 40s per quarter. The show of foreign was good, and most kinds sold on former terms. There was only a limited inquiry for malt, at last week's prices. There was a large show of foreign oats, yet the oat trade ruled firm, at very full prices. Beans were in short supply and good request, on raL.Nw higher terms. The sale for peas was steady, at extreme rates. A sample of new white peas was on sale in fair condition. They were worth about 45s per qr. The flour trade was heavy, and prices were the turn lower. New rapeseed was on offer, and for which 341. per last was bid. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

We may, therefore, an i ticipate the arrival of a much smaller number of half-fall stock than during the greater portion of last month. There was rattler a large show of foreign stock in to•day' market, but its general quality was inferior, consequently the prices realised were very low. From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts fresh up this morning, were seasonably good, both as to number and quality. For all breeds we had a dull4nquiry, and, in some instances, prices were 2d per 8 lbs. lower thau on Monday last. The fall, however, was almost wholly confined to the inferior kinds. The arrivals from Lincolnshire and Leicestershire amounted to 1,500 short horns; from Norfolk and Suf folk, 1,450 Scots and short horns, from other parts of Eng land, 22) of various breeds from Scotland, 65 Scots, and, from Ireland, 100 oxen. Compared with Monday last, the show of sheep was only moderate, though seasonably good. However, the bulk of the supply was inferior, Oa the whole the mutton trade ruled steady, and prices generally were well supported. Lambs, the supply of which was somewhat extenii”, were in fa'r rellist, at full quotattuns. About 1,100 came to hand from Ireland. We were well supplied with calves which moved off slowly, at last Monday's currenc3. In pigs very little was doing, at late rates. The supply was tolerably extensive. Per Blbs to sink the MI R. s. d.

"The Lady of the Camelias" was produced at this theatre, which on S tturday was open. d for a short summer season under the management of Mr. George Webster. In this adaptation the entire interest and pathos of M. Dumas' play is summarily got rid of, the whole of the demi-monde life, so accurately i lustrated, is ignored, and the great point upon which the misery of the unfortunate Marguerite Gaultbier was made to binge, is the low birth of the heroine, instead of her vicious life, being protested against by the respectable father of her intended husband. It must be admitted that the attempt to chasten the tone of the original story has destroyed the dramatic charm, and com pletely falsified the meaning of the author. In the interest of virtue, it is, of course, highly de sirable to make an honest woman of the heroine ; but the effect upon the story is about as disastrous as to su;nnit an ice to the Lrocess of boiling. The adaptation has been effected in a very careless manner, the en durance and pat•ienco of the audience was solely due to the admirable acting of Mrs. Charles Young, who, sur rounded as she was by a set of incompetents, played with sufficient force, sweetness, and pathos to en'ist the sympathies of an audience, and to win from them coo stant demonstrations of approbation and respect. After " The Lady of the Camelias" came a legendary extrava ganza entitled " Toe Lancashire Witches," which ap pears Itohe a compound of various nursery tales. The elegance of the mice en•seene and the Melodious singing of Min. Elowari Paul nasui el a safe passage for it. The entertainments concluded with the musical afterpiece of the "Chalet ; or, Why don't she marry ?" STRAND. Mr. SwaniTirough, the mana;er of this now elegant p'ace of amusement, takes his bent fit this evening, and, for the occasion, has provided a b:11 of fare well calcu -I,ted to please the ino t fastidious. The great novelties of the eveninr , wi►l be the appearance of Mr. and Mrs. nowar I Paul, and the debut of the Bone children from America, in peaiso cf whose performances the whols press of America has been teeming. Miss Marie Wilton, one of our most rising artistes, a!so appears as Nan in Bucketone's admiraVe conic drama, " Good for Nothing," and the evening's entertainment concludes with one of Morton's capital farces, in which Mr. Swan borough sustains the I :ading par'. We think Mr. SwaL - boiough has claims on the public fit substantial reward for the manner in which he has raised this theatre to the postion it now occupies in the list of entertainments with which the metropolis abounds. The Princess's still holds out against the summer heats, "The Merchant of Venice " and the farce a " Dyinz for Lye" being the ontt.:rtainmeut3 for the week. At the Olympic, the comedietta of "A Handsome Husband," with .the comedy of "Going to the Bad," and the farce cf "The Wandering Minstrel," f trm the nighly bill of fare. Mr. and Mrti. Barmy perform in three of their favourite pieces evtry evening this week at the Autrey. The Adelphi c impany, with Mr. Webstt r and Madame Celeste, commence a six night,' engagement at the National Star,d.trd this evening. The pieces du ing the week will be "The Green Bushes," and "Our French Lady's Maid." THE MAILS.—The Royal Mail steamship Europa kit Liverpool for Halifax and Boston on Saturday.
