His Excellency has been pleased to ante-date the com mission of Major General Aitchison, by brevet, in the East Indies only, to the 10th of January, 1837. 9. Those distinguished regiments, the 16th Lancers and 31st Foot, are about to return to their native country after a service in India, the former of 24 and the latter of 21 years, and although the Commander-in-Chief has recently and so frequently had occasion to laud the gallant conduct of these corps betbre an intrepid enemy, he cannot permit them to embark without again expressing his admiration of their continued and conspicuous bravery in all the battles they have been engaged in during this long and eventful period of their Indian service, whether in Affghanistau, or the more sanguinary conflicts of 1845-46. These brave regiments may be assured they will be re ceived in their native land by every demonstration of that patriotic feeling which gallant exploits ensure from their countrymen. The 16th Lancers have added to their standards : " Bhurtport, Affghanistan,'Ghuznie, Maharajpore, Aliwal, and Sobraon;" and the 31st Regiment will have recorded ou their already highly decorated colours : " Caubul, Moodkee, Forozeshah, Aliwal, and Sobraon." Again must Lord Gough express the gratification it affords him thus to he able to record his opinion of their merits; and both these corps are assured their correct conduct in quarters, and almost total absence of crime for many years have mainly conduced to the gallant achievements in the field their good fortune has afforded them the opportunity to contribute to. That every happiness and welfare may hereafter attend these regiments is the Commander-in- Chief's ardent desire, —for he must ever feel the warmest interest in the career of such highly-distinguished regiments. The Commander-in-Chief congratulates the two officers, Lieutenant-Colonel M'Dowell, C. 8., and Lieutenant-Colonel Spence, who accompanied their regiments to India nearly a quarter of a century ago upon now having the honour and gratification of commanding them, after such distinguished services, on their return to their native land. Lieutenant- Colonel M'Dowell has never left India since his first arrival. We are sorrow to hear that James Burt, Esq., surgeon of her Majesty's 16th Lancers, died yesterday of cholera, at the Royal baracks in Fort William.—Calcutta Englishman, May 28. LOSS OF THE BOMBAY CASTLE BY FIRE. (From the Calcutta Star, of May 30. ) The Semaphore Report of Thursday evening, announced the loss by fire of the ship Bombay Castle, off Saugur an choring buoy, of which melancholy occurrence we are now enabled to give the following account, with which we have been obligingly favoured by a gentleman who was on board : " Having just arrived from Saugur by the Lion steamer, I address you with a view to give a true statement of facts relative to the loss of the ship Bombay Castle, which was destroyed by fire off Saugur Point this morning, being made public, and something like justice done to the exertions of Captain Fraser and his officers, at the same time that the loss of the vessel is made known. The first alarm of fire was given at about a quarter to twelve on the night of the 27th (Wednesday), and upon coming upon deck he found the ship was on fire on the gun deck close to the main hatch, but this, owing to the excellent arrangements of Captain Fraser and his officers, well seconded by the exer tions of the crew (Chinamen and lascars), was speedily got under. _ _ _ " Shortly after this it was discovered that the vessel was also on fire forward, close to the chess trees; and the deck was immediately scuttled to allow of water being poured upon the burning part. "All exertions were used to sabdue the fire, but the las cars became so alarmed at the progress of the flames that the control exercised by the officers was much weakened, though they continued to exert themselves in every manner that could be looked for from British sailors. Seeing how desperate all endeavours to save the ship must prove, as the flames were rushing through the main hatchway—the cap tain ordered one of the quarter-boats to be launched, and the women and children put on board. Thanks to the excel lent arrangements which had previously furnished the boats with oars, rudders, &c., this was done with comparatively little difficulty, and the boat safely delivered her freight on board the Ellen, of London, which was, with several other vessels, anchored near the spot where the Bombay Castle was lying. " Almost immediately after the boat had left the vessel the lascars were in the fore part of the ship (commu nication with the stern being by this time cut off by the flames), launched the jolly-boat over the bows, but she was almost immediately swamped by the rush made to get on board her. Others attempted to get away on spars and such rafts as individuals on the spur of the moment could frame— and it is to be feared that many, if not most, of these pe rished, but the number had not, when I left the spot, been ascertained. Signals of distress had been made as soon as the tire forward was discovered, and those of the vessels near at hand who had boats ready for the emergency, sent them to aid in bringing off the people. " The Cove sent two boats and the Duke one for the pur pose, and were the means of saving many lives by their exer tions. Captain Fraser and some of his officers remained on board till the deck was burning beneath their feet, and quitted the vessel only when every one that could be removed had been duly cared for. It is impossible to say too much of their self-devotion and gallantry throughout. " Mr. Childs, the pilot, with his leadsman, Mr. Smyth, showed themselves as cool, zealous, and _enevetie ,as men could ; possibly be. Mr. Childs, who• left the vessel in the first boat immediately on reaching the Ellen, called for a volunteer crew of British sailors, which was instantly fur nished from the gallant fellows on board—and returned with them to aid in bringing away the people from the burning wreck. " Every hospitality and attention were shown to the suf ferers by the vessels which received them; but when were these wanting from British sailors to those in distress? " The Bombay Castle, at % a.m., was one mass of flame, and at a quarter-past three the masts fell in succesion over the side, and she drifted from her anchors down upon the Gaspar land. Shortly before taking the ground she blew up—the explosion destroying about one-third of the vessel— what remained of her continued to burn till daylight, when I came away. " Nothing has been saved beyond the clothes which each hurriedly put on when the alarm of fire was given—the ship's papers and a few instruments which Captain Fraser brought away alone excepted. " Had we been enabled "to proceed to sea, which the state of the weather prevented, nothing humanly speaking, could have saved us ; but it pleased God to allow us to be over taken by the misfortune where aid was at hand, and we have every reason to be grateful to Him who has preserved so many lives under such awful circumstances." THE NORTH-WEST PROVINCES. We learn from Lucknow that one of the regiments in the service of his Majesty the King of Oude has been refrac tory. Our letters state that "on the night of the 17th, the 23d and 46th Regiments of Native Infantry were ordered to hold themselves in readiness to proceed on service, and that on the morning of the 18th the before-mentioned regiments, together with some artillery, marched out of the station, under Brigadier Webber, in order to bring the refractory corps to their senses. It appears, however, that long before they reached the spot where their services were likely to be required, the refractory corps had taken to their heels, leav ing their arms and six large guns behind them." It is said (but our correspondent does not vouch for the accuracy of the rumour) that the non-payment of arrears of pay was the cause of the outbreak. The force under :Brigadier Webber returned to cantonments at seven o'clock on the morning of the 18th, the date of our letter.—Mofussilite, May 22. Orders have been issued to some of the regiments on the frontier to detach recruiting parties to the vicinity of Kangra, to pick up Hill Rajpoota, who are said to be found there in considerable numbers, and most ready to take service. They are supposed to be, as in Kumaon, descendants of the Raj poots driven from the plains in former days. These parties are directed to complete the ten men per company allowed to corps on the frontier. Many regiments had previously sent detachments to beat up for recruits in those parts of the country whence such are usually derived. Th e J u ll un d er parties are to receive their instructions from the political of ficers in the new territory.—Delhi Gazette, May 23. In consequence of the paucity of Government notifications to this date, we have omitted our usual supplement.

The force before Kangra is becoming daily more respect able. It will consist, when complete, of nearly three regi ments of Native Infantry, a regiment of Irregular Cavalry. Captain Fitzgerald's Light Field Battery from Phulloor, Captain Christie's ditto from Jullundur, and Captain Swin ley's troop of Horse Artillery, with two 8-inch howitzers, ten mortars, and three 18-pounders, should they be able to reach, of which some doubts are entertained, with three companies of Artillery to work the siege guns. Brigadier Smith, C. 8., of the Engineers, arrived at Kangra from Lahore, on the 13th inst., as also Captain Napier, from Umballah. The latter was to retrace his steps on the 15th to the banks of the Beas, with the view of joining and accompanying Brigadier W'heeler's force to Kangra. We understand that Captain Napier considers the road the guns will have to travel not quite so bad as it was previously thought. On the 13th and 14th the engineers and political officers repeatedly reconnoitred the place, and there were fresh rumours of surrender on the last-named day, but the continued sounds of preparation within the walls were still plainly heard from the advanced posts. It appears we were in error in stating that Major Lawrence had taken the Jullundur route to Kangra from Umritser, as he fol lowed the short road via Deenanuggar. We give the fol lowing extract entire from the letter of a friend regarding the site at Dhurmsala, which we have already mentioned : "A delightful spot for a military station and sanatarium has been discovered on the hills which bound the Kangra and Rbilloo Valleys to the north. It is a table land upwards of a mile in length and half as much in breadth, at an eleva tion of rather morethan 4,000 feet above the level of the sea On this there is space for two regiments, much more than the majority of the heroes who compose them would like for parade. Water flows in abundance on both sides of the table land, which itself stanas high and dry. The elevation is not greater than that of Subathoo, but the climate is consider ably cooler, as the spot is open to all the winds of heaven, and looks the snowy Chumba range, 14.000 feet high, full in Ithe face. Further up the bill, from 5,000 to 8,000 feet high you come upon another Situlah ;Ate,' so level that they seem meant for bungalows, so green and shady, firry and rhodo dendrony, that fancy cuts a mall' along them in an instant, drives off the rude blanket covered Tartar, and his browsing herds, and people the scene with dandies in tight trousers 1, .11es in new spring bonnets.' rhe speculator and the -;cturesque would equally find the hill of Dhurm " Can anything be more delightful, espe +hat this new oasis is but a step -'l'l of Kashmeer."—Della anc ,_ lover . of the e sala worth a visit. cially when we remember ping stone to the celebrated " Gazette, May 23. Letters of the 17th instant, received this mu. the force under Brigadier Wheeler, state that he is ge... on as well as could be expected. He was detained four days crossing the Beas, in consequence of the great scarcity of boats, there being only four on the first day. The number was, however, subsequently increased to twelve from the ghats below, and by working day and night all got over on the 16th, except Captain Swinley's troop of Horse Artillery, and the 4th Irregulars. The European gunners have been at times all day at work assisting in getting on the guns. The force was within four marches of Kangra, and one from the banks of the Beas. The first of these is said to be nothing, the second " no joke," and of ten miles ; but the road, though steep, has been made passable for anything that may be brought up. The guns started at two in the morning, and were not up at six P.M., which would entail a halt on the 18th. Brigadier Wheeler cannot therefore Lave reached Kaagra at an earlier date than the 23d. The two 11..*t marches are up the channel of a mountain stream, said to be well paved with large round stones. Brigadier Smith is stated to have written to camp in most respectful terms of the defences of Kangra, and to have expressed his opinion that double the quantity of ammunition brought with the guns (500 rounds) would be required. It was believed by some in camp, that the garrison had agreed to surrender, or at least that a portion (the Hindoostanees) had insisted on such a measure, while the Khalsas (the majority) refused to entertain terms. Another report is to the effect that the garrison had offered to evacuate on the following conditions :—" A Jagheer to the Killedar (by the bye our native Lahore correspondent says his name is Soon dur Singh, not Hunsraj), two months pay to the garrison, and all to carry out their arms." We have not heard of this from Kangra, therefore hope it is only a report, as we should be almost sorry to find the heroism of the defence tarnished so miserably, that the romantic story of the "token" had lost its value on the stock exchange of chivalry, and that the be sieged have indeed set a price upon their desperate resolve to die among the ruins of their fortress,—/bid. -ring, from 4+ing CHINA. THE DISTURBANCES AT FOO-CHOW-FOO. (From the China Mail, May 7.) The Torrington, which arrived here on Monday about noon, after a passage of only forty-eight hours from Foo chow•-foo, has brought the latest advices from that city. The disturbances and angry feeling towards foreigners, excited by the misconduct of the seamen from the DEedalus, as men tioned in our issue of the 10th April, had greatly subsided. The Espiegle, from Amoy, had arrived in the Min, but a vessel of her draught cannot approach within many miles of the city, and to dispatch a boat's crew would only be to give occasion for fresh outrages. Immediately after the affray with the Dredalus's men the aspect of matters seemed so alarming that the Shroffs and Chinese servants advised the foreign residents to seek the protection of the receiving ships ; and their houses were no sooner evacuated than the mob commenced plundering them. We have not heard, however, that any one suffered personal violence, though one English merchant (he may be called the only one at Foo-chow-foo), in effecting his escape, fell through the roof of a house, and sustained considerable injury. 01i receiving intelligence of the disturbed state of the city, the receiving vessels had moved up the river as far as prac ticable, for the purpose of affording protection to the foreign residents and their property; but on the urgent remon strances of the Chinese authorities, who Aeclared that their presence would exasperate the mob, the Consul advised their removal to their former anchorage, about 30 miles off. Foreigners were absent about a fortnight, but had returned at the time the Torrington arrived. Affairs, however, were in such an unsettled state that the consignee deemed it ex pedient not to land her cargo, which was therefore brought back to Hong-Kong. The amount of freight and of loss thus incurred will, we suppose, form part of the claims for compensation about to be preferred against the Chinese. During the rioting the English Consulate was unharmed, nor were the inmates apprehensive of danger; and there is no foundation for the statement of a contemporary that the Consulate required the protection of 150 native soldiers. The only occasion on which their services were made use of while the Torrington was at the port was, while a clerk in the establishment had occasion to proceed in his chair with the captain of a merchant vessel through a part of the city, when he was accompanied with what it seems is there called a guard, being two Chinese soldiers without arms, from which we conclude that they were not wanted from any ap prehension of danger. At all events this young gentleman seemed to have more dependence on himself; for conceiving that a Chinaman with a stick had assumed a threatening attitude towards him, he leaped out of his chair, seized the offender by the tail, dragged him out of a shop, and deli vered him over to the authorities. Whether the occasion demanded this, or whether such exhibitions of hardihood and resentment are commendable, may be doubted, but in this instance the people looked on passively, and there was no necessity for the assistance or interference of the guard. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CALCUTTA. (From the Bengal Hurkaru, May 30.) MONEY MARKET: The market, upon the whole, has been easier the last few days. Some remittances have been received from China on merchants' account, and more to a considerable amount are daily expected. Government has provided steamers to convey about 35 lacs of old rupees from Allahabad to the presidency. Part pf this money is said to be of a very remote period; it was received from the Seikhs. Government securities are dull and looking downwards, but the depression is mainly in Sicca paper. Exchange has rather rallied—the rate being general at 2s. 1 1 4 d. to 2s. 2d. at ten months' date, according to amount and parties. Bank Stock is quiet; the near approach of the ensuing dividend indisposing holders to sell at present quotations, GOVERNMENT gECURITIEi. .. Prem. 14 8 a 15 0 28a 3 0 1 0 a 3 0 - 4 4 a 4 10 ..

The decree also provided that the Congress meet four months after the liberating army shonld gain pos. session of the capital of the republic. Don Juan Camplido was recognised as provisional Governor of the department, and, according to the accounts published in the New Qrlec#nN Picayune, under oath to repel the aggressions of the American States. This statement, if authentic, bears a most important relation to the duration of the existing war, Late accounts from Havannah state that Santa Anna still remained there. Letters from Yucatan report that the commander of the United States brig Somers had received dispatplies from the Government, proclaiming the neutrality of the State. The Somers, therefore, immediately left for Vera Cruz. A pri vate letter from New York adds to the above statement — Paredes has capitulated." The correctness of this is doubted, however. No further accounts have reached us from the "army o invasion." Domestic affairs in the Union had undergone little change, and our advices still remain indefinite with regard to the several points pending at the date of our previous letters. The Warehousing Bill had been taken up by the Senate on the 30th ult., and the measure would, it was anticipated, receive the sanction of that assembly. Similar opinions were generally entertained with regard to the Tariff Bill, then slowly progressing before the lower branch of Congress. The leading men of the Upper House, according to the Washington letter-writers, would compromise the question. No steps had been taken by either House on matters of finance. The rumours of Cabinet changes still continued afloat, and there would appear little doubt that Mr. Buchanan desired, and would assume, the vacant seat upon the Supreme bench. Several additional military appointments had been made. The Mormon differences had temporarily settled down. Exchange continued dull at 1071 to 108. Our accounts from Canada are unimportant. The provin cial journals ridicule the bombastic comments of the Ame rican journals upon the late achievements effected by the " American " army, composed of a miscellaneous crowd of foreign immigrants. MEXICAN AFFAIRS. (From the Yew Orleans Picayune.) The United States sloop of war Falmouth arrived at Pen sacola on the evening of the 19th inst. from off Vera Cruz, whence she sailed on the 4th inst. The United States steam frigate Princeton had arrived off Vera Cruz, and, with the frigate Raritan, was maintaining the blockade of the port. The health of the crews of both vessels was excellent, although the vomito was raging in the city of Vera Cruz. The Falmoth left at Vera Cruz the British brig of war Rose, and the Freich barque La Perouse and brig Le Mer cure. The fate of the bark Eugenia, Captain Biscbe, from New York—which vessel it will be recollected, ran the blockade —was uncertain. Instructions for disposing of her had been sought from the capital. Some were disposed to seize and burn her, though subsequently a disposition was manifested to let her off " scot free," in consideration of her saucy de fiance of the American squadron. Our news from the city of Mexico is later than we gave on Sunday. We are informed that the Mexican Congress was finally organized on the Ist inst., but VI e do not learn whether a legal quorum was obtained. The reader will re cal that when Mr. Dimond, our late Consul at Vera Cruz, left, on the 30th ult., he was decidedly of opinion that a quorum could not legally be obtained, and such appears to have been the case down to the evening of the 30th. General Paredes at last determined to leave the capital and take the command of the army of the frontier. The result of the actions of the Bth and 9th of May is said to have made upon him a profound impression. We detect in the tone of the papers, which comment upon those actions, di rect attempts to paliate the extent of the disasters, intended for the Provisional President rather than the public. But Paredes would seem to appreciate the full extent of the ca lamity, and perhaps he judges rightly that the most certain means to confirm his power in the Republic is to retrieve in person the honours lost at Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palma. He was to leave the capital on the 6th instant, at the head of 3,000 troops, but orders had been issued that large bodies should join him at the different points on the line of march, so that his entire force, including Arista's command, should not fall short of 16,000 men. Although we have now received intelligence by way of Havannah and Tampico, and by the Falmouth, that Paredes would certainly take the command of the army in person, yet there was an impression prevalent among men of sagacity in Vera Cruz, when the Falmouth left, that he would not and could not venture to leave the city of Mexico during the ses • sion of Congress. It is said that nearly one-half of the coun try is in open revolt. The news received here a fortnight since of the revolt at Mazatlan is confirmed, and, as we then anticipated, Sonora is now in a state of rebellion against the Central Government. So ripe for revolution is the department of Vera Cruz, that upon the departure of the Falmouth it was said there were 1,500 men outside the city of Vera Cruz ready to attack it at any moment, upon the signal being given. Some of the guns had actually been removed from the Castle of San Juan de Ulloa, and placed around the city for its defence, and troops had been withdrawn from the castle for the same purpose. The intelligence received from Tampico on Sunday shows how that city was rent by internal dissensions, and in con sidering the deplorable state of the country in every quarter and under every aspect, it would by No means surprise us were Paredes compelled to forego his cherished purpose of placing himself at the head of the Mexican army. But, sup pose he carries his resolution into effect, what better fate awaits him at the hands of General Taylor and our troops? Truly his chances from every point of view appear desperate. To illustrate the treachery of General Alvarez towards Paredes, the story is circulated at Vera Cruz that the former, who had the command of the forces at Mazatlan, was supplied with 1,500,000 dolls. with which to act against the American squadron in the Pacific. No sooner had Alvarez obtained the funds than he pronounced against Paredes, kept all the money, and even sold the cannon in the forts. The British brig Reliance, Captain Doane, arrived at this port yesterday from Tompico, having sailed on the sth inst. The Reliance was chartered at Liverpool to proceed to Tampico, and thence to Tobasco, to take in a cargo of cork. She was prevented from performing her voyage by the block ading squadron, and left Tampico on the sth in company with several vessels previously reported at Tampico, the time allowed by the terms of the blockade for loading and depart ing having expired. We received yesterday a copy of El Locomotor, of Vera Cruz, of the Bth instant, which is four days later than any advices received by the Falmouth. The news is important. A revolution had broken out in the department of Jalisco. It commenced on the morning of the 20th of May in the city of Guadalaxara. The battalion of Logos, followed by other bodies of military and by the enthusiastic populace, attacked the palace of the Governor. The assault of the insurgents was so prompt, that the guard had only time to make one discharge, by which one man was killed and one wounded. Some of the defenders recognised friends among the assail ants, and refused to fire, The disaffection then became ge neral, and some of the leaders of the Government troops were arrested to save them from the :fury of the insurgents. Some skirmishing ensued, and preparations were making for a general engagement, when General Dugue, who had taken command of the Government troops, proposed a parley. This was agreed to, and the result of the deliberation was, that the troops under General Dugue should be allowed to retire with the honours of war, by a route designed by them, directly to the city of Mexico. Provisions were given them, and they were allowed till the 22d to prepare for their de parture. Don Jose Maria Tanez was at the head of the insurrection. A formal declaration was drawn up by the insurgents, pro claiming Santa Anna their Chief, and declaring that a new Congress should be summoned to be elected by the people, according to the electoral laws of 1824, to form a new Con stitution, in which the monarchial principle is to be ex cluded. It also provides that the Congress should meet four months after the liberating army shall gain possession of the capital. Don Juan Cainplido is recognised as Provisional Governor of the Department, and his oath includes the repulsing of the infamous usurpation of the Americans. Mae. MA.I3I3IO2MIT'S Maw , Nova=, the sale of the publication Of The Love Match," Arm Ma berly has taken rank amongst the popular novelists of the day, and every new work of hers is looked forward to with interest. In " Leontine" she lays bare with unsparing pen and strong purpose, the hollow elegance, the sensual cultiva tion, the abandoned and selfish refinement of the Richelieu's, the De Chevreuses, the Bouffieurs, and the rest of the profli gate parasites who thronged Versailles during the reign of Louis XV., the Heliogabalus of France. These she pourtrays with a bold, unflinching spirit, yet so as never Ito offend, whilst coming out from the mass of dark shade, in clear and beautiful relief; stand the characters of Leontine an , d Anselm Quinot, the very perfection of artistic skill, and pi c t or i a l effect. The hero, Guesclinde Fontenelle, is not one of your monstrosities, a model of perfection, but a true n aan, with his failings and his virtues; and the interest attach ing to his fate, from the first moment of his introduction in the first chapter of the book, never flags far an instant. Independent of the merits of the novel as a work of fiction, it has strong claims on attention, from the historical accuracy v rith which it lays bare the state of France previous to the rev elution.— , Lublin Freeman's Journal. IBRAHIM PAEHA.—The e stablish ment of looms for the manufacture of Llama cloth in Egypt is, among s t o th er mat ters, talked of as one proposed by Ibrahi m P acha, an d i t would appear that the Messrs. Nicoll, of R into this country, --agent-street, who a ac n a ds to carry out this have have object. THE WEATHER.—The weather continu es most duecpeudttehde to owofionl d of e l ei e en Al t h p fa vourable for the growing crops, and the fields of wheat and barley, in some places, are beginning to assume the tint of harvest. Such corn are now fully in the ear ; and • we saw the other day a field of barley belonging to Capta in Munro, Coul Cottage, which will be ready for I ;he sickle in ten days. In general, all the crops al luxuri ent, except in some very and districts, where th to oats and barley are short and irregular. In moist and good ' land the return will be ample. At Arcan and other piaci Is, we ob servod some fine barley and oats, of great he right, and with large ear. The potato crop has evert appear ance of being unusually prolific ; and We have h e and of no failure in this country, where, we believe, a larger breadth than usual has been planted. The turnips are look ing well, and, so far as we have heard, have escaped the w arm. St. Swithin's day, the 15th, was warm and dry ; and if the usual prediction be verified, dry weather will prevail iduring the autumn.—Ross-shire Advertiser. COLLEGE OF ENGINEERS, PUTNEY._Th e president and council, in order to meet the mei. -,--ements cif this ra pidly advancing institution, have resolved to build Lin exten sive range of studies and private rooms for the ,students, fronting on the river. The designs, prepared by Mr:. Thomas Little, are now being carried into execution by Messrs. Burton, the contractors. Additional buildings are al so being erected for the use of the Government Commissia n, under Dr. Lyon Playfair, for the purpose of testing the qualities of the different mines of coals throughout the kingdq m.—The j u ROYAL NAVAL BENEVOLENT SOCIETY. Ths quar:erly meeting was held 4,1 Monday at twelve o'clock, at the Thatched House Tavern. Captain W. G. IL \Vhisch in the chair. Previous to the usual business of the meeting, Earl Cadogan called attention to the case of Miss Hoare. He said that he appealed to their sense of justice to allow her to have a fair hearing —not such a hear ing as she had hitherto had. She had been under the protec tion of the lady of a clergyman holding a living which he had presented to the incumbent. From this circumstance he had been put in possession of numerous facts and certain docu ments, which at the proper time he was prepared to bring forward. He called upon the meeting to do justice to themselves as well as to this persecuted and unprotected female, if they would avoid that obliquy which must be at tached to injustice and oppression, and to appoint a commit tee to inquire into her case. He did not want a committee appointed by Captain Dickson, or any other member, but a committee elected by ballot, so that no person interested in the question should have the exclusive power of adjudicating upon it, Ho wished they would do as they would be done by. It really was the height of oppression and cruelty not to give this lady a fair hearing, for he appealed to them as a body of honourable men to say if th ere h a d b een an investiga tion of her case which any man could put his hand upon his heart and pronounce fair and impartial, Admiral Lord aO said, he thought, though he did notlimself form one of the Committee, that it consisted of individuals who were inclined to give to Miss Hoare's ca” the mot, favourable consideration,Earl C;inctuAtt said he held documents, with which if the members had been conversant, they would have come to a different conclusion. After some observations from the Chairman, with reference to the mode in which the Noble Lord's resolution should be made, his Lordship handed a written proposition to the fol lowing effect—that a Committee of not less than five mem, tiers, .fo be elected by ballot, should be appointed to inquire into the case of Miss Hoare, and that she should be furnished with all letters and documents in the possession of that Society reflecting upon her character. After this question was disposed of, a lengthened conver sation arose respecting the reading of an official correspond ence between Admiral Sir E. Codrington and the secretary of the society, which, in the absence of the Gallant Admiral, was postponed until the next quarterly meeting. The financial report of the quarter ending the 30th of June, gave a gross suns of 1,2111., of which 5201. had been expended in grants, 120/. in the expenses of the society, leaving a balance in hand of 5701. The consideration of the memorials, and the other usual business, was then disposed ot; and the meeting broke up.

CHILD MURDER AND DEATH OF THE MURDERER.— We have just learned that a girl, named Elizabeth Bell, of Blacksyke, near Brackenburgh, in the parish of Ifesket-in the-Forest, has committed the crime of infanticide on her illegitimate offspring, and that she, within an hour afterwards died. Inquests on the bodies have been held before Mr. Car rick, coroner, and the jury have returned a verdict of" Wilful murder" in the former, and " Natural death, consequent on child-birth,' in the latter.—Carlisle Journal. THE CROPS.—In the vicinity of London, so far as the wheat crop is concerned, reaping has commenced in good earnest. In the course of the past week several fields cut down in the luxurious districts of Kent and Surrey show that they are not far behind in regard to productiveness. The first cutting we have heard of was that of Mr. Jibbald, Goose grove, in the middle of last week ; and last Saturday evening we saw a field of beautiful wheat in the vicinity of Camber well-green, belonging to Mr. Harris, in the act of being cut down. In all the fields we have seen the crop seems abun dant ; and on the authority of a practical fanner, who has within the last two months travelled over England and Wales, we can state, that while the wheat crop is fully an average, the oats and barley crop is in a fair proportion, compared with other years. SPEED MATRIMONIAL.—An honest tar, who does not reside one hundred miles from the port of Milford, having consigned, what once was his better half, to the solitary tenements of deceased mortality, bethought himself, after a very brief period, of filling up the vacuum made by the grim tyrant in his domestic comforts. He forthwith cast his eyes around him as to the whereabout of an object worthy his (choice, and as the hand of time had numbered some two score years to his pilgrimage in this transitory vale, he opined it would be but advisable his intended help mate should be " fat, fair, and forty." He was not long kept in suspense, the: fates were auspicious, and the fame of her, whom his heart was ere long to hold dear, reached him through the channel of report. He forthwith rigged himself out ship-shape, and steered his course clue west, for the moorings of his intended, whom the fates (again in a kindly mood) allowed him to see, for she it was who, at the portals, answered his summons for admission. " Time and title will wait for no man ;" it was therefore deemed expedient to take one at the flood and the other by the forelock, to prevent the thousand slips which happen between cups and lips. A meeting was arranged for the evening, "the time for lovers and lovers only," mutual vows were exchanged, and that consummation so devoutly to be wished for was hinted at. The fair me hesitated, but the skipper exclaimed, " If it were done, when 'tis done, then 'twere well it were done quickly." The fair one relented, when he of the seas,' watching his opportunity, portrayed the dangers he had participated in. He spake of antres vast, of foaming billows, whose tops touch Heaven, of hill and Dale. The fair one consented, "and wished Heaven had made her such a man." The nautical hero, now pressing her to his ardent breast, sighed into her not unwilling ear, " I am a pilot, and wert thou as far as that vast shore washed with the furthest sea I would adventure for such merchandise." The course of true love for once ran smooth, and ere one little month had run its course, " the funeral baked meats did coldly furnish forth the marriage tables." — Carmarthen Journal. STRANGE ACCIDENT.—Two days ago some boys seeing a heap of straw thrown out in the Place du Parvis, Notre Dame, set fire to it, and soon had the pleasure of see ing the whole in a flame. In the midst of their delight at beholding the fire and smoke, a cry was heard to issue from the burning mass, and at the same time a human figure issued from it. It was a poor man who had fallen asleep amongst the straw, and whom the flames had roused. He rushed with his clothes on fire to the river, and threw himself in. The spectators, who expected to see him re-appear, were disappointed. He was drowned, and his body was found shortly after.— Gaiignani's Mesionger. EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTION OF BATS.—Bats are sometimes fourni clustered in considerable numbers behind sign-boards and similar dormitories, where they remain during the winter season in a dormant state. A few days ago there was taken out from under one of the leaden gutters of Springwood Park House no fewer than 400 full-grown bats, some of them grey with age; and also from the same place three pails full of batiana, which, no doubt upon trial, will be found to be as useful and nutritious a manure as the far famed guano.—Kelso Chronicle. THE RICHMOND RAILWAY.—On Friday last, Major- General Pasley made a formal inspection of this line of rail way. The Government Inspector arrived at the junction of the South-Western and Richmond lines at eleven o'clock, and, attended by ➢lr. Chadwick, the chairman of the latter company, the secretary, the resident engineer, and several directors, started down the new line. General Pasley fre quently alighted from the train, and inspected the various cuttings, embankments, bridges, stations, &c., but he chiefly directed his attention to the viaduct at Wandsworth, which consists of twenty-two arches three of which are each seventy feet in span. This viaduct is 1,000 feet in length, and is carried over three wide pieces of water and an extensive osier-bed, to which the tide has access, and its construction was accomplished under no ordinary difficulties. General Pasley observed that it was an admi- rable specimen of railway work, and reflected credit on the contractor. This was the chief point of interest on the line; but on coinin g to the level between Barnes and Richmond, the General recommended that the g ates at the crossings should be lengthened, so that when open they should meet and form a fence across the line when cattle were passing. General Pasley subsequently expressed his satisfaction at the excellence of the line, and permitted the directors to announce its opening to the public on Monday, the 27th instant. TILE 'MURDER OF THE POLICE CONSTABLE.—On Saturday bills were issued from the Home-offi ce , an d exten sively circulated throughout the metropolis, offering on the usual conditions, a reward of 1001. for the discovery of the murderer of George Clarke, the police-constable, at Dagenham. FATAL OCCURRENCE AT BATTLE-HRIDGE.—OR Satur day Mr. Wakley held an inquest at the University Col lege Hospital, on the body of Mark Sinnott, aged 66, a watchman, in the employ of Messrs. Marston, the sewer contractors. Charles Farrander deposed that about ten o'clock on the evening of the 15th inst., while standing at the corner of Maiden-lane, Battle-bridge, he saw a four horse waggon coming from the railway, when he heard a fall, accompanied by groans, and on proceeding to the spot ho discovered that two men had been knocked down and run over. Assistance was procured, and the deceased was taken to the hospital, where he died at six o'clock the following morning. He repeatedly blamed the driver of the waggon, and said it was entirely his fault. The other man who was knocked down is still lying in a very dangerous state. The deceased had stated that he heard the cries of the other watchman, named Synes, who had been knocked down by the van belonging to the Messrs. Crowley, the railway car riers, and on going to the spot he had requested the driver to stop, but he took no notice of what was said, and flogged the horses on, threw him down, and drove over his chest. The driver was taken up before a police magistrate on Friday, and is now out on bail. He had acknowledged having driven over the deceased. The coroner briefly addressed the jury, and adjourned the inquest for a few days to have the driver identified. FATAL ACCIDENT FROM A STEAM-DOAT.—Thuntday forenoon, Mr. Wm. Carter held an inquest at the Hero of Waterloo, Waterloo-road, on the body of Joseph Chappell, aged 14, call- boy of the Moonlight iron steam-boat. From the evidence of George Heath, the captain of the boat, it ap peared, that on the night of Saturday last, between nine and ten o'clock, the deceased was on the deck of the Moonlight, which was moored off the King's Arms Stairs, when all of a sudden he was missed. Search was made for the deceased, but he he was not found until Wednesday morning last, when his body was seen floating towards the larboard paddle box of a steamer, near to the place where he was first missed. It was the opinion of witness that deceased must have fallen into the water whilst he was passing from one boat to an other. Verdict, " Accidental death." THE LEAGUE.—The last remnant of the League— their offices in Fleet-street—were closed on Monday with the announcement that their offices, furniture, &c., would be subject to the auctioneer's hammer on Tuesday next, the 28th inst.

Madras Gold MOhura New Gold Mohnrs Our markets, and business generally have been even worse than they were a week since, the scarcity of money and difficulty of ob taining accommodation appearing to increase. Exchange is steady at about 2s. I%cl. Indigo—Accounts from the Mofussil during the past week are generally favourable. In Kishnagur there had been more rain, and sowings must by this time be nearly completed. Jeseore and the districts to the eastward continue to promise well. From Purneah there are accounts of rather too much rain, but the neighbouring district of Bhagulpore is still without a sufficient supply, any that has fallen there having been very partial. In Tirhoot this has also been generally the case. Sugar—The arrival of Benares during the week have been more extensive, and dealers being somewhat anxious sellers have sub mitted to reduced rates. At this decline, which may be quoted fatly 8 annas per md., a lair business has been done. We quote Ist quality Co.'s rs. 10-4 to 1-12 per Ind. In the other descriptions of sugar, some decline has also taken place, and transactions to a moderate extent have been effected. Khaur is also rather lower, Bombay having been sold from Co.'s re. 4-14 to Co.'s rs. 5 per md. Raw Silk—ln this staple nothing has been done, the news by last mail having put a stop to all operations. Until more care is bestowed by the natives upon its preparation, it appears scarcely possible that the article can bear the competition of' the increased supplies from China in the home market. Silk Piece Goods—Corahs are also nearly quite neglected, only one sale being reported at Co.'s rs. 108 per corge. A small parcel of Choppahs has realised Co.'s rs. 105 per corge. Saltpetre—There has been rather a better inquiry for saltpetre, chiefly from America, and a fair amount of sales has been made. Chuprah Co.'s re. 5-8 a 5-12, refined Co.'s rs. 7 per md. Rice—There is no change to report in the value of this article, and for England nothing is doing. Sales for Mauritius have also been very limited. In the minor articles of import there is little change. In Shell Lac nothing has been done. Of Lac Dye, a sale of Mirzapore at Co.'s rs. 26-8 Is reported. Jute continues in fair demand, and Linseed is being purchased largely for America, without change in prices, viz., Co.'s rs. 2-4 to 2-0 per md. In mustard seed a fee , sales have been made at rather lower rates. Co.'s rit*--1-12 a 1-14 per md. Safflower has been sold to a moderate extent, at Co.'s rs. 25 to 254. Cotton—A moderate business is doing in this article, the best qua i lities realising 11 to 11-12 Sicca rupees per md., the Bombay Castle havi g on board 3,400 bales ; nearly 13,000 mds. were burnt In Saug r Roads on Thursday. The shipments by the Lanercost are 1,323 bales and 150 half bales, and by the Antelope 100 bales. Oplum—A further decline has taken place in the value of the drug, there being no buyers, and prices have come down. The Antelope and Lanercost left on the 28th instant, the former with 800 and the latter 220 chests. Freights—ln the rates of homeward freightage there is little change, and tur quotations remain unaltered. : IMPORT.. ton cok Piece Goods—The Milne.s in this part of our import trade renutins unchanged, and sales have been almost excl usively for local consumption. A few lots of shirtings both grey and white have been sold at fbrmer rates. White jaconets continue inquired for. Grey have been realised ;at extremely low prices, 1-2 to 1.7 Co.'s rs. per piece. In all the lighter and fancy fabrics scarcely anything has been done, and with few exceptions none can be realised without loss to the importer even with the present high exchange. Mule Twist—There has been rather a better inquiry during the week, and a fair amount of sales have been made of all numbers, but in consequence of rather heavy arrivals the market is again dull. Coloured Twist—Turkey red German dye has been sold at 1-8 There co.'i rs. per lb. , a nd Oran g e at 11 suns per lb. 11ittalS—Demand for copper is very languid, and the few sa l es madO are at a consi d e rable decline u p on the late nomin al value. is wileated bfeoernlsooeladl a p t u 3 rp l- 0 4 se: a a . t r 3 s 4 .., 4 a t n o d sheathing 34.6 coe r e 34 p - e B r C fy o ' rn s dre. has been some inquiry for spelter, but at lower rates, and about 3,500 mds. have been sold at 10-2 to 10-4 Co.'s Ts. per md. The only reported transaction in iron is a small parcel of hoop at 4 4 Co.'s rs. per md. SUSPICIOUS DEATH.—Thursday afternoon, an inquest was held before Mr. W. Baker, jun., at the London Hos pital, on the body of George Bedford, aged fifty-eight, of 17, Cornwall-street, St George in-the-East. Charlotte Bed ford, the wife of the deceased, stated that on last Monday week her husband came home and complained of having fallen down in the street and bruising his right arm and fore head. His arm continued to get worse, and on Monday last he was conveyed to the hospital. Mr. Wordsworth, one of the house surgeons, examined:the deceased, and found that he had received a severe contused wound over the right eye, and his arm was very much inflamed, which was quite suffi cient to have caused death. The deceased lingered until the following day, when he expired. The jury then returned an open verdict, " That the deceased died from a contused wound over the right eye, but how it was produced there is not sufficient evidence before the jury." [ADVERTISEMENT.] DEAFNESS AND DEFECTIVE VISION RELIEVED, No. 39, ALBEEMARLE-STREET, PICCADILLY. --Sent into the country free, by post.—Newly invented acoustic tubes, for relief of extreme deafness, and when inserted n the ear cannot be perceived by the nearest observer— they are entirely different from all others, and are the smallest hear ing instruments constructed—measuring only a quarter of an inch in their widest part; they may be securely adjusted in the ears unob served, and removed therefrom with as great ease and facility. Per eons are enabled to join in general conversation, and to hear roost distinctly in a place of worship, &c., and what should be greatly considered, a natural expansion of the cavity o ;the ear is preserved —a thickening or contraction of which in many instances is par tially the cause of deafness—and by their use the unpleasant sen sation of singing noises in the ears is entirely obviated. Also im proved hearing trumpets of every description. Immediately the newly-invented spectacle lenses are placed before imperfect vision, either by day or candlelight, that mist and dullness which appear before the eyes is at once removed, every object becomes clear and distinct, so that the most aged defective sight becomes bright and brilliant, and is brought to its youthful, natural, and original state. Also the most powerful achromatic telescopes, opera glasses, and microscopes. Caution—Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, opticians, are not in any way connected with a person of the same name in their i m mediate neighbourhood, nor in any part of the country, To prevent mistakes, be cautious, and observe—only to be bad at 39, Albermarle street, raccadilly, apposite the York Hetet EVENING, JULY 22, 1846. HAYMARKET T riEAT RE. Murphy's admirable comedy The Way to Keep Him was revived here last night, for the purpose of intro ducing to a metropolitan audience " a lady, her first appearance in London," in the character of the Widow Belmour. For once the playbills have told the truth. The debutante is a lady, and evidently a lady used to the best society. She was nervous, as might have been expected, and did not, therefore, give herself fair play ; but it was evident that she had been used to the best society ; there was a ton about her imper sonation of the Widow Belmour that nothing but the frequently mixing in good society can give. In person she is rather above the middle height ; her features are expressive, and her figure faultless. From her manner of giving the more serious portions of the part, we should be inclined to augur favourably of her in tra gedy. She was not, however, wanting in the vis cornica. In the scene with Lovemore, in which she describes the far niente, but far from dolce style of modern conversa• tion, albeit from nervousness her manner was scarcely sufficiently prononce, yet was she admirable. The germ of great talent was evident, and when she has become used to her audience, she will rattle through the de scription like a female Mathews. We have long wanted a lady on the stage to represent the principle characters of La haute Comedie, a lady with that hunt ton, that innate good breeding, which cannot be taught—which no mere actress can ever hope to ac quire; and if we mistake not the Widow Belmour of last evening is that lady. Whether she is so or no we cannot at present decide. We wait until we shall have seen her Lady Teazle. Her debut, however, has been successful, and most deservedly so. She was applauded throughout, and was called for at the conclusion and received the floral tributes which are now the usual tokens of success. The comedy was announced for re petition on Thursday amidst loud applause. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. SOUTHAMPTON RACES.—TUESDAY.

The enormous length to which the engagements for the ensuing meeting extends renders it impossible for us to give them in full ; an outline, however, of the different events to be decided may be acceptable. Without the aid of heats, which are abolished, they amount to thirty-eight for the four days, and are thus arranged : The following nominations were made on Monday last : On the first day, TUESDAY NEXT. The Craven Stakes; to name the day before running. The Lavant Stakes, of 50 sovs. each, 30 ft, for two yrs old. (25 Subs.) The Ham Stakes of 100 sovs. each, h ft ; also for two yrs old. (40 Subs.)

On WEDNESDAY there will be the same number, viz.:— The Goodwood Stakes of 25 soya. each, 15 ft, &c. (60 Acceptances.) The Orange Prize, given by the King of the Netherlands, added to a Sweepstakes of 10 sovs. each. (48 Subs.) The Stewards' Cup, value 300/. added to a handicap of 5 sovs. each.

To close and name on Wednesday next. Two Matches, and the March Stakes, of 10 soya each, h to be run in heats, unless the acceptances should pro duce two classes, in which case the two winners will have to run for the forfeits ; there are 65 sub scribers to it, and the horses must be named on the second day of the races. The total for this, the con cluding day of the meeting, nine races. At a moderate calculation, atter allowing for forfeits, the prizes for the four days will net nearly twenty-five thousand pounds! In order to get through this monster programme, and allow visitors from a distance to get home in reasonable time, the races are announced to commence each day at twelve o'clock, and will thus, we presume, finish_ by five o'clock. The directors of the Brighton Railway edfer the metropolitans every pos sible facility for going to and returning from the races. Extra trains to Chichester will be started every morning at half-past six, seven, ei,ght, and half-past eight o'clock, calling at the Drayton station, three miles and a half from the course, the two first performing the journey in three hours and a half, and the latter ones in two hours and three quarters ' trains, w ill also run between Hastings , Brighton, and Chichester. The accommodation after the races will be on an equally 'comprehensive scale. Great pains have been taken by the 'Duke of Richmond to improve the race course, and it is novx in the best possible condition. The running ground has 'been widened from the distance in, and the turn for the Maidstone and Orange courses and the pull up, thereby very considerably improved. The Cup course is also altered the horses will now start 100 yards west of thee winning post, run out the back way • of the Graquricke Stakes course, and return home by the Craven Stakes Course, making a distance of three miles and three quarters, all in sight from the Grand Stand. The only objection that we have heard raised against this altera tion is, that some of the horses instead of "returning home," may possibly find their way to the village of Charlton. The old weighing stand has disappeared, and the business of the course will this year be carried on on the ground floor of the Grand Stand, hitherto used for refreshment rooms, a portion of which will also be reserved for the accommodation of the betting fraternity in bad weather. The inclosure has been extended so as to take in the trees at both ends, and the comfort of the visitors, and the convenience of those having business to transact, consulted in a variety of ways without regard to lab our or expense. Mr. Gratwicke will be the acting steward ; Mr. Cl ar k e o f Newmarket, judge ; Mr. llibburd, clerk of th e course and starter; and Mr. Manning, clerk of the scales. INTELLIGENCE EXTRA.

WICK, JULY 15, 1846.—The herring fishing has com menced here earlier than usual. Several hundred boats were at sea last week, and had from one to ten crans. Yesterday morning (Tuesday) there was one beat that had twenty eight crans. Several had from ten to fifteen crans. Average, two and a half. There is a dearth of hired men. Not one-half of the usual number of Highlanders have come this year. They are getting from 61. to 81. of wages, and their meat and lodgings during the seven weeks. A great many boats are ashore for want of men. The boats whose period of engagement has not, vet commenced, are selling their fresh fish at fifteen shillings per cran. This morning (Wednesday) the boats are just returning from sea. The average will be about two crans.—Ross• alttre Advertiser. VAGRANTS, ENGLAND AND WALES.—From a return just laid upon the table of the House of Commons, relative to the number of vagrants received into union workhouses of England and Wales during the years 1841, 1842, 1843, 1844, and 1845, it appears that the total number of unions in the counties of England and Wales amounts to 480. In 1841 there were received into them 93,985 men, 24,095 women, 43,577 of the males being between 18 and 40. In 1842, males 162,163 (78,995 between 18 and 40), and 33,889 females. In 1843, males jiih 2 e 4 h l l. , i 6 ., 6 iein s nvgiteo ( irfa l rlto l h i he , 18 and 40), and 40,831 females. In 1844, males 252,558 (118,280 of whom were between 18 and 40), and 39,837 females. In 1845, males 247,377 (116,725 between 18 and 40), and 39,539 females. ESCAPE AND RECAPTURE.—The only prisoner triad at Windsor Sessions, on Saturday, was a boy, whe had " broken prison" the night before, and who was found guilty of picking the pocket of a farmer's wife, and sentenced to be imprisoned for three months, and privately whipped.

SUSPECTED INFANTICIDE.—An inquest was held on Saturday at the Cumberland Head, City-road, on an infant. The charge had been already investigated by the magistrate at Worship-street, who had remanded a woman named Hughes, in whose possession the child was found. Mrs. Hughes now stated before the coroner that on Thursday evening an elderly lady, wearing spectacles, accosted her, and, after conversation, engaged her at 4s. a week. On ar riving at her residence, she took a coffin from under the bed, and desired her to take it to the sexton's, on arriving at whose house she found she was too late, and she was unable, on her return, to discover again the house of the lady. She 5 0 N 3eh u 'a 3i r r s d b : i e , t i w c s a t e l e ed im a then took the coffin home, and placed it in a closet. On the following morning she went to William Pratt, the sexton of St. Luke's, Old-street, to have it buried, and he, being sus picious of the circumstances, gave her into custody. Several witnesses bore testimony to this statement, and described the dress of theilady whom they had seen speaking to Hughes. The surgeon having given his evidence, the jury returned a verdict of " Natural Death." DUNNING.—PERTHSHIRE.—This village: was thrown ,batb, into a state of great excitement on Sab. . evening, by a report that James M'Lellan, merchant, who. had been taken unwell, and died, notwithstanding every effort to relieve him that medical skill could devise, had been poisoned. Various circumstances led to the apprehension of the wife of the unfortunate man, while a messenger was sent off to Perth with the necessary information to the authorities. Mr. M'Lean, Procurator-fiscal, and Dr. Malcom. immediately proceeded to Dunning, where the latter opened the body of M'Lellan, and analysed the contents of his stomach, among which there is said to have been detected a considerable quantity of arsenic. An investigation immediately took place, and the result was the full committal of Mrs. M'Lellan, charged with the murder of her husband. From what we have been able to lerarn of this tragic affair, it appears that 11PLellan and his wife had not, for a considerable time past, been on the best of terms with each other, arising, it is alleged, from her partiality for a mason of the name of Gow, who had been lodging with them for several years. (It may be here remarked that Gow was also taken into cus tody, on suspicion of being connected with the murder ; but there being no evidence to criminate him, he was liberated on Monday.) The poison, it is said, was administered to M'Lelian on Saturday evening, when at his tea, on a soda scon,' the butter and arsenic being covered over with currant jelly. The unfortunate man died the subsequent evening in great agony. The woman who purchased the arsenic, came voluntarily and gave her testimony to the authorities, she not having been suspected as being connected with the affair. It is further alleged Oa* a previous attempt, in the same way, had been made on the Friday evening, but not in sufficient quantity to elf ct fatal purpose.
