OVERLAND MAIL INDA. (From thia Ti4tes.) We have received ,by express from Marseilles our dispatched from India`in anticipations of the overland mail which left nombay on the 3cl of Januw,, The following is the letter of our edi d tlegMent at that Presidency : " BOMBAY, JAN. 3, 1852. " The present cold season promises to find lig qt.- cupation for our armies all along the line of the north west, and most probably in Burmah also, if we may judge from. present appearances., From Peshawur along to Dhera Ismael Khan the tribes are either in arms or preparing to take them up against us, and a general rising seems to be m e di tated. The Khyrpore Ameer, too, seems inclined to rush on his fate. Al together the prospect of war being clime at ,hand is pretty certain, and it is the Universal belief that stir ring events will occur during the ensuing three months. On the frontier a,couple of skirmishes have already taken place. A detachment at a place called Mute, four miles from the outpost of Shubkudr. and to the north-east of Dubb, where the force of Sir C. Campbell has for some time inactive, was at tacked by a large body , of Pllo42ands on the 8.11 of December. Our party ' , lst.; of a number of the Guide Corps, under . Lie er, a detail of ar tillery under Lieutenant,. m an& the d Punjab Cavalry, the'whole commanded judicioni of the latter corps. The enemy are said to have num bered 4,000 foot and 100 horse, at the head of whom were two chiefs : one-fourth these numbers would, probably, be nearer the true strength of the force of the enemy. They appear have thought of taking our men by surprise, but the reception they met with quickly made them fly. "The Lahore Chronicle says:-- " ' Their object was et first to tern the rear of the village, and they seemed to heed but little the firing of Lieutenant Simeon's guns, which opened upon them. They were, however, somewhat more alive to the attention of a party of the Guides, who were first posted near the village, and then occupying some nu ll a h s t o the rear, rushed on the enemy from one to another in excellent style. The Momunds did not approve of this mode of warfare, and retreating much faster than they came on, at last ran outright, the guns doing good exe cution as they fled. In an hoar the plains were clear of the enemy, who took up a position on some low sand hills at no great distance, where they remained all the afternoon, going off . entirely towards evening. They passed close enough to Subkudr to admit of the garrison opening their fire on them. The loss of.the Momunds was variously estimated at from 8 to 12 killed and 6 wounded. The Guides had one man slightly wounded, and a sower of Jackson's Irregulars, who were too late in the field to pursue the enemy with effect, was struck on the head with a spent ball. It is said that two of the chiefs of the Momunds, named Nawab Khan and Shaikh Abdoola, were both in the fray, and bore themselves very gallantly. A round shot tell between the legs of the horse of the latter, but did not induce bins to move from his then position.' " The force under Sir C. Campbell had not been molested further than by small parties of the enemy 1 descending from the hills on the camels and cattle while out grazing, several of which they had suc ceeded in carrying off. The fort at Dubb was pro ceeding rapidly, end till it was completed the General did not intend commencing offensive operations. The enemy were collecting in large numbers in his neigh bourhood in the hills. He had been reinforced by Waller's troop of horse artillery and some cavalry and infantry. A wing of her Majesty's 53d, under Colonel Mansfield, while on its way to join his camp had been directed to proceed to Mutts, where they arrived on the 9th. The force at Peshawur were on the alert night and day, and the whole of the artillery had been recalled to the station from their practice ground at Churnkunie. I formerly mentioned the murder of M essrs . C arne an d T a pp, of the salt reve nue department on the frontier, by a party of natives in the Hazereh. The unfortunate gentlemen had been advised by Major Abbott to take a guard with them, but they had omitted doing so. The business on wnich they had gone having been performed, they were on their way back when they were surrounded at a place called Moozufferghur. Mr. Tapp was for fighting their way with the few armed followers who accompanied them, but the treacherous natives promised them so solemnly that no harm would befall them if they gave up their arms that Mr. Came unfortunately persuaded his companion to avoid bloodshed. They accordingly gave up their arms, and had no sooner done so than they were set on by the wretches, and cruelly mur dered by being stoned to death. The murderers were demanded of the chief of Am, whose subjects they were, and after considerable evasion on his part 28 men were given up to Major Abbott; but it turns out that they had had no hand in the murder, but had been seized merely because they belonged to the same tribe as the murderers, who had never been ap prehended by the chief at all. The prisoners would most probably be released by M r . John Lawrence on his arrival at Hazareh, for which place he was on his w ay from the Eusofzsie district. Major M'Gregor had returned to Lahore and resumed his duties. The Hon. Mr. Thomason, whose arrival at Lahore I men tioned in my last, quitted that city on his return to Agra on the 12th. Lieutenant Barker, Ma jesty'B 96th Regiment, di e d of her at Anarkullee on the 12th; and Colonel J. G. Drummond, Quartermaster- General of the Bengal w, Gomm, on the 11th of army, in the camp of Sir Chief was last heard of at December. The Com mander-in- Pukha Serai on the 17th, and was looked for at Rawul Pindee on the 20th. It has frequently been affirmed that these excursions of the Commander-in-Chief to the frontier are looked on with alarm by the tribes, who cannot divest themselves of the idea that he makes his appearance in their vicinity merely to fight and slay th e m, and that they are induced to take up arms, and even a m ssue the o ff ens i ve in sheer self defence, w henever they hear he is approaching. The troops of Dost Mabomed are said to be moving down on Jellalabad and the Khyber ; but so many idle rumours have been spread abroad regarding the old Ameer and his doings, that no faith can be placed in present reports. Toe D ost h as no love for us—we never gave him cause to entertain any—but he will not embroil himself with US, unless he has some hopes of assistance more to be relied on than that to be looked for from the Hill tribes, who cannot even now quarrelling keep from with each oth e r. ~ Mr. B ar nes, Commissioner at Lahore, had gone out into the districts on circuit ; and Mr. Edg. worth, who had been on a visit to the capital, had left to resume hie duties at Moulton. The garrison of this latter. place had not, op to the latest date, move d towards Khrypore, and it is probable they will not stir at all, as an ample force has been directed to assemble at Roree from Sukkur and F rom the former,Kurrachee. the 4th company, 4th battalion, of Artillery, the 2d Sinde Horse, and the 15th Native Infantry ; and from the latter a company of e i st troop of Horse artillery (Leslie' Sappers, the s), the 64th Foot, l and the Ist Grena dier Native Infantry have been ordered to assemble side of th e I n d us, the on the Roreewhole to be under the command of Brigadi e r - General Manson, with Colonel Stopfor3, of the 64tb, as Brigadier. On the assembling of this for ce, M eer Ali Moored will be compelled to surrender the territ ory _ or , which he gained possession by fraud, and be restrict e d to hi s ancestral domains. Of these al so he will be stripped, should he b e i ns ane enough to think of resisting the demands of our Government, which is not at all probable. By this time the Kurrachee brigade are well on their way up, as they were to leave on the 28th and 29th. " Mr. Frere had returned to Kurrachee, but was to leave again in a s h o rt time for the upper country. "Seventy lacs of old rupees (700,0001.) have just arrived from the Punjab, via the Indus, to be recoined in Bombay. "A good deal of sickness prevailed at Hydrabad, ' principally fever. The win g , of her Maje s t y ' s 64 t h Regiment had during their stay there lost 17 men , 7 women, and 26 children. The river had fallen un usuall, low, which had been the cause .7 of the great prevalence of fever. The troops at 4 urrachee were healthy, while at Sukkur there was _much si c k ness. " Nothing further has been beard from Rangoon. Her Majesty's steamer Hermes has gone r ound to that port from Calcutta, and A dmira l Austin, i n the f Hastings, is said also to have sailed yore Singapore for the same destination. Woe betide the city of Rangoon should the naval force now in the Irra wady be called on to open on it ; a few broadsides from the Hastings, Fox, Serpent, and four armed steamers would soon make it too hot for its inha bitants. It is expected that troops from Madras will be sent round should a land force be required, and that the command will be conferred l r Brigadi er - General Steele—an able and accomplis ed officer. "Matters are daily becoming more critical at the capital of the Nizam. His Highness's debt has not yet been entirely liquidated, 310,0001. remaining to be paid us, and the bankers refuse to advance money to the Minister. A monetary crisis has taken place in the city, and credit has fallen to a very low ebb. The Nizam will not pay, and it is probable our Go vernment will not allow themselves much longer to be trifled with ; appropriation of territory, i n liqui dation of our claim will, after all, most likely take the King g i ves h i mself up to debauchery, place. The s t a t e o f affairs in °tide is unsatisfac• tort' ; and corruption in his ministry is loudly own plained of. "Colonel Outram is now in Bombay, where he will remain till he has seen some particular business settled, when he proceeds home on sick leave. " With the exception of Sir E. Perry, all the meg- Wes of the Presidency are now amongst us, and gaiety everywhere prevails. " Sir John Grey and staff return to Mahabulesh war in March, and it is probable Lord Falkland will move in the same direction about the 'fame time. " Captain T. Minster, of the 11th Nativ'e Infantry, died at Bombay on the 20th of December; he had just obtained a medical furlough to Europe. " Surgeon• General Sinclair retires from the service and from India to-day, after being upwards of thirty two years in the Bombay medical service. Dr. Don now again becomes a superintending-surgeon. " The Rev. Mr. Fletcher goes to Kurrachee as senior chaplain. On the confirmation as archdeacon of the Rev. Mr. Keay!, Mr. Fletcher will come to Bombay as senior Presidency chaplain. "Major Conway, C. 8., 22d Foot, who acted as Deputy Adjutant-General during Colonel Havelock's absence at home, returns to England by this evening's steamer. He was universally well spoken of and respected while holding the responsible appointment from which he has just been relieved. " Dr. Downes has been confirmed as Assay Master, and Dr. Collum as deputy, in the Bombay Mint. " Mr. J. M: Davie!, C.S. t late agent at Angria's Cplsl .will, .it is %id, succeed Colonel Outram as Resident of BaiOai, eu 7ej better teleollop eould not have been made. " Captain Sir G. Parker, magistrate at Meerut, is going home en furlough. " The Governor-General is looked for at Calcutta by the middle of the present month. " Cornet G. A. Franklyn, of the 14th Dragoons, died suddenly at Meerut, from disease of the heart, on the 18th of December. " The booty captured at Mooltan and Chineesut in 1849 has been ordered to be shared out to the army of the Punjaub. It amounts to 130,9921. in all, but from it has to bs deducted the amount of the six months' donation batta given to the army on the ter mination of the campaign ; the residue for distribu tion will thus be very small indeed. " The Lahore prize money question is again being discussed, and a petition to her Majesty in Council on the subject has been prepared. " Colonel Garden is to succeed Colonel Drummond as Quartermaster-General, Bengal Army. " Messrs. Pidcock and F. H. Robinson, and E. P. Thompson, the two former of the Bengal and the latter of the Madras civil service, have resigned. "Colonel Low has resumed his duties in B,ajpoo tans, having returned from leave from Simla. " Largo quantities of Manganese ore have been found near Vizagapatam and Atirzapore. " Captain Est — riage, garrison engineer at Bombay, goes home in March ; he will probably be succeeded by Major Kilner. " Captain Thornbury, Secretary, Bombay Military Board, has retired; he has been succeeded by Cap• tain C. D. Mylne, who has been long acting for him. " General Staveley was at Deese, reviewing the troops. "Mr. W. Harrington, Madras civil service, has been appointed registrar of marriages for that Pre sideney, under the new Act. " The number of deaths in Bombay during De cember was 1,152 of which 218 were from cholera, and 15 from violence. In November the deaths only numbered 793, only 28 being from epidemic diseases. " Trade at Bombay has during the fortnight been tolerably active, but at rates for piece goods far from favourable. The money market continues easy, and the Bank's rates of interest and discount are con siderably lower than usual at this season of the year. Freights . are 21. to 50s. per ton to Liverpool and Lon don respectively. Exchange, 2s. 14d. per rupee. " The gallant Ensign Bennet, who received an un attached commission for planting the colours of his corps on the walls of Moultan, has been attached to the Ist Fusiliers till further orders. Sir John Grey deserves the highest praise for this, as it will no doubt lead to the abolition of the absurdity hitherto practised of merely conferring unattached commissions on deserving soldiers of the Company's army, who are actually losers by promotion to the rank of ensign. " P.S. The papers received this morning supply the following items:--Mr. R. V. Dayne was on the 24th ult. admitted to the Calcutta bar. The survey of Calcutta had been recommenced. The head quarters of the Artillery are to be removed from Dum Dum to Meerut. Lieutenant MacLeod, 40th M.N.I , has been sentenced to dismissal from the ser vice for having falsely stated that he had called a brother officer (Lieutenant Dale) a coward. The sentence is remitted at th e recommen d at i on o f the Court. Lieutenant Buch annan, 4th M.L.C., is sen tenced to three months' suspension for insolence to his commanding officer. Ensign Ryves,l9th M.N.1., tried for having neglected to redeem his promise given in a bond for debt, and acquitted. Ensign Lugard died of cholera at Madras on the 26th of December. Captain Montgomery, of the Mysore Commission, and Captain Dobbs, of the Chittledroog division, have been ordered to exchange appointments. Major Fitz gerald, 2d Bengal Cavalry, died at Deyrah Dhoon on the 15th of December. Lieutenant Poulton, 64th 8.N.1., and Assistant-Surgeons Campbell and Miles, have obtained medical furloughs to Europe; and Captain E. P. Bryant, 68th 8.N.1., has inualided. Mr. T. Taylor is about to resign the Bengal Civil Service." COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. BOMBAY.

THE ENGINEERS' STRIKE. ----- Nothing definite, so far as we have learned, has yet transpired publicly with regard to the reopening of shops for the return of labourers, and, conditionally, of the skilled workmen; although it is anticipated by the latter that such a step will shortly be adopted, at least par tially, by the employers. It is rumoured that this will, in some cases, be done to-day, but with no sufficient authority to warrant implicit reliance upon the accuracy of the assertion. It has been before stated that an intimation bad been conveyed to the engineer s employed in the works con nected with the Eastern Counties Railway, that they would be dismissed if they continued to contribute to the support of the men discharged from the various factories, and that the men replied to this intimation by a formal resolution, passed at a full meeting of workmen, pledgingntil the end of the themselves to con tribute s t r ike. This resolutio n was adopted on Thursday night and it waseach thought a day's by many that on Sat u rd a y the threat o f discharge would be acte d upon by Mr. Gooch, an ex pectation which was only realised in the case of the two men who, by Mr. Gooch's desire, communicated his de termination to their fellow-workmen. These men re ceived notice of discharge on Saturday, but beyond this, nothing, wo understand, has resulted of a similar nature from the expressed determination of the workmen to continue their contributions. At the works of the South-Western Railway at Nine Elms, it is stated that police constables keep watch in plain clothes, to prevent the attendance at the gates of the agents of the Amalgamated Society for the purpose of receiving subscriptions. T IL E ENGINEERS' STRIKE.—The Mayor of Liverpool (Mr. T. Littledale) and two influential members of the town council (Mr. J. B. Lloyd and Mr. Hugh Ilornby) have consented to wait upon the employers, Messrs. Fawcett and Messrs. Forrester, in order to bring about some understanding between them and the men whom they have discharged from their employment en account of their connexion with the Amalgamated Society. The men are unwilling to accept the tarns of the masters— namely, that they may resume work on condition of re nouncing the society; and they contend that it would be harsh and unjust to expect them to forfeit their claims to the benefits of " the deb," into which many have paid money for a considerable time, merely for the sake of obtaining employment. There is no doubt, how ever, that, from the position and influence of the gentle men who have been chosen to act as mediators, some arrangement, satisfactory to both parties, will be effected. • ECCLESIASTICAL INTELLIGENCE. THE BISHOP OF LONDON AND THE REV. MR. GL ADSTONE. Reply of the Lord Bishop of Landon to the address of the parochial clergy of Sr. Martin-in-the-Fields in the matter of the Rev. J. E. Gl a d stone: — , B L r o e n t d b o r n en l:lin i s h e, av J e an r . e 3 ce l ive l received with " Reverend and dear much satisfaction the address you have presented to me.

The Bishop of Ely has appointed the Rev. Samuel Silver, M.A., to the vicarage of Fulbourne, near Cam bridge, and the new incumbent has issued an appeal on behalf of his pariah. It appeared that on Trinity Sun day, 1766, the parish church fell down, and has never been rebuilt, chiefly owing to the poverty of the people. As a natural consequence the living became almost a sinecure, the vicar non-resident, and the people de generated. Mr. Silver will reside in the parish, and by the authority of the Bishop of Ely intends setting about the erection of a new church and schools. The rectory of Chiddingatone, near Edonbridge, which is in the gift of the Archbishop of Canterbury, has be come vacant by the death of the Rev. Anthony Charles Payler, M.A. It is worth 650/. per annum. The Rev. James Chadwick, M.A., has been licensed to the parish ch urc h o f Ch esterfield by the Lord Bishop of Lichfield, on the nomination of the Rev. George Butt, M.A., Vicar of Chesterfield. The Queen has presented the Rev. W. Hayward Cox 8.D., of St. Mary Hall, Oxford, to the living of Tenb37 Ft-mbrokeshire, va cant b y the death of the Rev. Dr.' Humphreys. BELLS CAST AT WHITECHAPEL. - Amongst the largest bells of the present time is the great bell at Montreal, which was cast in 1847, by Messrs. Mears, of Whitechapel. This is 8 feet 7 inches in diameter at the month, 8 feet 1 inch high to the top of the crown, an d we i ghs 30,800 lbs. This same firm cast " Great Peter of York," which weighs 26,800 lbs.; also the new " Tom o' Lincoln," and such a startli ng list of ordinary church bells, that we have been lad to ana lyse it, and find it to embrace 11 peals of 17 bells, 27 of 10 bells, 172 of 8 bells, 260 of 6 bejls ' 73 of 5 balls, and about 190,000 single tzntinnalnd a !

THE lIIIMON CONSPIRACY.—T HE SPECIAL CO2.I3IisSIoN. DUBLIN, SATURDAY. — Unhappily for the prospects of the country. the special commission is likely to turn out a failure. Lamentable indeed would such a result prove to the orderly inhabitants of the wide districts blighted by the inti3rnal Ribbon confederacy. The Crown has so tar failed,, and in its strongest—or, what its legal ad visers believed to be the strongest—ease on the panel of Monaghat, that of Fr anc i s K e ll y , c h arge d with the murder of Mr. Bates on . Th e j ury cou ld no t a g ree to a verdict, nor were they di sc ha rge d un til th e protracted confinement, without food or other refreshment, had pro duced sei ions illness amongst . them. The Attorney- General tnnonneed that he would put Kelly (the same prisoner) on his trial this morning. In the meantime a man, named M`Donnell, was indicted for sending a threatening letter, signed "An Advocate for Tenant right," to a solicitor; but as he declared he was not ready for his trial, it was postponed to the next regular assizes. So far, then, nothing—rather, worse than nothing--has been done at Monaghan. Well may the Ribbon conspiracy boast of the influence it has obtained through its unrelenting system of terror. The following is a report of yesterday's proceedings:— MURDER OF MR. BATESON. MONA cHAN, FRlDAY.—Shortly b e f ore fi ve o ' c l oc k th e judges r e t urne d i nto court, w h en t h e j ury were ca ll e d out for the fourth time. Having answered to their names, the Clerk of the Crown asked whether they had yet come to an agreement? The Foreman replied that they had not b een a bl e to do so. Chief Justice—Then, gentlemen, you must retire again. The Fore man —m y that they are u na bl e to do anything, and one of them is seriouialy indisposed. lord, the jury are in such a state Chief Justice—Retire for the present, and we will see what we can do for you. Thejury having retired to their apartment, Dr. Wm. Irwin, the medical gentleman who was examined on the trial as to the wounds inflicted on the late Kr. Bateson, was requested by the Lord Chief Jus tice to examine the jury, with a view to satisfy the Court whether any of them were in such a state of exhaustion as to render a longer confinement dangerous to their health. Dr. Irwin then visited the jurors' room, and after a short time returned into court, and was sworn to give evidence as to the condition of the jury. Chief Justice (to the witness)—g a v e you examined any of the jury? Witness—Yes, several of them, my Lord. One of them, Mr. David Sn#th, is exceedingly unwell. Chief Justice—What do you think would be the effect of farther confinement upon him, he having been locked up since six o'cl , ck yesterday evening, and having had no food since two o'cle.:k on the same day? Witness— I am satisfied that it would be highly dangerous to his health. Chief Justice—What do you say generally with re spect to the others ? Witness—There are five jurors p4rticu)arly exhausted, and they are all, I think, likely to b:3 injured by further confinement; but I cannot posi tively state that the lives of any of them would be en dangered, with the exception of Mr. David Smith. , he jicry were then re-called, and asked if they agreed. The foreman (in a feeble tone of voice) —No, we have not. Chief Justice—Gentlemen, you are now discharged. Foreosan—May wo now go home, m y Lord . Chief Justice--All I can say is that you will not be caliLd upon for fines. His Lordship then tasked the .Att or ney-General who tht r he wished to make any observations to the Court? The Atcorney General said that he proposed o n t h e following morning to have the jury panel called over, and to proceed with the trial of the same prisoner (Francis Kelly) for the murder of the late Mr. Bateson. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE, Lieutenant Frederick Woolcombe (1846) g li' late fla lieutenant to the Commander - in - Chiet at razils, bas been promoted to the rank of commander on the no mination of Bear-Admiral Reynolds, C.B .

Sprightly steam-tender Master-Commander Al len, arrived from Plymouth early on Saturday morn ing, bringing up some seamen for the Britannia, alongside of which she went before coming into har bour. Inside the Needles a merchantman ran into the Sprightly, but did her no damage—the vessel in curred some slight damage. MALTA, JAN. 26 —Since the 22d and 23d inst., we have had a second move among the ships, for as soon as the Corfu mail by the Medusa arrived the re maining vessels were ordered to get ready for sea, and on the following morning (the 24th) the Belle rophon, Vengeance, and Trafalgar got under weigh, the Admiral having struck his flag from the Ven geance, and hoisted it on board the Terrible steam frigate. The Indefatigable frigate, to relieve the Phaeton, reached Corfu on the 19th. The latter was to sail for Malta on the 22d. The Peninsular and Oriental steamer Sultan ar rived on the 231 from from the Levant, and has since been in port waiting the arrival of the Ardent with India mails; she came in during the night. The Me dina leaves at noon for Marseilles, and the Sultan for Southampton at ten A.M. The Scourge steam-frigate is expected hourly from Leghorn, and on her arrival the Spiteful will proceed to Naples and ports of Tuscany.

PLYMOUTH, SUNDAY.—It is reported that the Britannia will be here on Thursday next, from Ports mouth, for the Mediterranean. Orders were received yesterday for the riggers employed on the steam block-ship Sanspariel to pro ceed with all dispatch. On Monday evening last a waterman coming down Hamoaze was driven by stress of weather into -the basin of the Keyhaire.- Works, when, not being able to hear the challenge, or being incapable of making himself heard in the storm, he was fired on by the sentinel on duty, and received a ball in the lappel of his coat. Except the fright, the poor fellow escaped uninjured. DEVONPORT, FRIDAY.—On Thursday evening last a seaman named Lucan, of the St. George, in charge of of the Sparrow, schooner, lately paid o ff, and now alongside the Dockyard, was detected by Police -sergeant Cox in attempting to embezzle a deep sea lead, some metal cordage &c. He was brought before Commodore Seymour, Mr. Eastlake, and some of the officers of the yard this afternoon, and the charge being folly proved he was fined 101., or three months' imprisonment. 1. UNROLLING OF THE MUMMY FOUND - IN STEPHEN'S CRYPT, On Saturday, at noon, a deputation of members of the Antiquarian Society met at the New Palace of Westminster, for the purpose of examining the mummy, or preserved body, found a few days since in the east wall of St. Stephen's Crypt. Mr. Barry, the architect, was in attendance to receive the party, among whom we noticed Dr. Lyon Playfair, Hawkins, and Mr. Franks, of the antiquarian depart ment of the British Museum, Mr. Prior, Mr. Bruce, and Mr. Akerman, secretary to the Antiquarian So ciety. Mr, Pettigrew, accompanied by his son, Dr. W. Pettigrew, was also present, these gentlemen having kindly undertaken the responsible duty of unrolling the body. Until Saturday the mummy had remained half imbedded in the stone wall where it was discovered, nothing being visible beyond the crozier and the upper part of the cere-clothes in which the remains were folded. The examination having been de termined on, the body was removed from its narrow cell at an early hour on Saturday morning, and placed upon a bench within an inclosed hoarding, where the gentlemen appointed to examine it assem bled as above stated The removal was effected without injury, beyond the fracture of the right fore-arm, which had been injured by the pickaxe of the workman who first broke in upon the venerable remains. The preparations having been completed, Dr. Pettigrew commenced his operations by making an incision down the centre of the abdomen, and in a lateral direction round the skull. After some little difficulty a layer of five thick canvas cloths was re moved from off the face. A second series, bound round by string, then presented themselves. In due course these were lcosened, and to the great satisfac tion of all present, on being raised the face was dis clowd in a most remarkable state of preservation. The cartilage of the nose was net at ail decayed, and with the lips and other portions of the face remained perfectly flexible to the touch. Even the expression of the countenance was in a degree retained, and it was remarked that identity of the individual would not have been impossible had any compeer of his ve nerable age been present. The abdomen was found to be folded in ten layers of canvass cloth, eaeh of which appeared to have been soaked in wax and nitre, or salts of some such description. On the. wrappers being removed the stomach was found to have retreated from the cloth and to have become a mass of adipose matter, in which state the legs and arms were also found. No writing of any description was discovered in the folds, nor was any mark leading to an identity of the individual found. The body measured 5 feet 11 inches in length ; and, judging from the front teeth remaining, three or four of which in the lower jaw were much worn, must have been that of a very aged man. The mouth was filled with tow, which had evidently been steeped in wax, and a small quantity of hair remained on the chin and upper lip. The body was enclosed in ten layers of very thick canvas, and bound round by string, the latter being in a very remarkable state of preservation. The crazier was entirely of oak, with an elaborately carved crook—the whole measuring six feet two inches in length. Although there remains an absence of any positive proof as to the identity of the body, it may be stated that the gentlemen present unanimously agreed that the presumption of its being Lydwolfe, Bishop of St. David's, who died about the middle of the fifteenth century,:was almost indisputable. The examination having been completed, the remains were placed in a strong elm coffin, and screwed down. For the present they remain in a place of security, but it is understood the body will hereafter be replaced as nearly as possible in the spot where it was discovered. EXTRAORDINARY lASTANCS OF PRE. SERVATION OF LIFE, On Saturday week Mr. Wakely, M.P., held an inquest at the Pier Tavern, Strand-on-the-Greer, Kew-bridge, on the body , of Robert Chambers Rich, aged 13 years, the son of the proprietor of the above dlae deceasedappearedevidencethataboutafternoon of the, pierwas , sitting a n and calling l o l n i n g top acro ss the river, to come ashore. Th e w i nd was par ticularlyhlewt b hi g h at the time, and a viol en t gust had we suddenly e gate stairs ag ai nst the back of the decease a d, t the anci toP of the foroedh used down stairs into im the t h e water.- Every effort was , sa to save his life, but unfortuna tel y withou t success. The jury returned a verdi c t o f A co i denta l Death. isc c ur i i l o d us and interesting fact that the death of the The following a poor h t was the cause of the pre servation of the l i f e of his moth er . Th e i r ques t wa s a ppointed for t we l ve o'clock, and Mr. Wakley's car riage !arrived a t h before that h our. a e door exactly twelve minutes einngte,raehdathed At that instant man rushed out of the Tavern, exclaiming " She's dead !" and ran off as fast as h e could towards Breutford. When the coroner young woman and children were all scream ing, apparently nstalpypaorctoerdps corpse the e c i li k a i i n r behind th e b e ar landlady counter, of her face and lips were entirely bloodless. The coroner inquired what was the matter, but could ob t iin no infortoution till one of the daughters ex claimed, " Burst a blood-vessel—burst u blood vessel !" Toe coroner instantly rushed round the counter, where be saw an immense pool of blood on 1 the floor, and found that the landlady's left leg was wrapped up in vn immense number of towels and clothes, all saturated with blood, and a large stream still flowing from the clothes weir the foot. The coroner instantly laid her bead back over a chair lower than her body, and held up her legs higher than her body, and then lodged them on a pillow on the top of the back of a chair. At ibis time the unfortu nate lady had apparently ceased to breathe; there was no pulse, and not a single sign of life. The clothes having been removed from the leg, the coroner placed his thumb on the small o p en i ng f rom w h en ce the blood had been flowing and not another drop was lost. After she had remained in that situation for about two minutes she gasped and breathed. The coroner administered to her, in a few drops at a time, about a table-spoonful of brandy-and -water. She gradually recovered; and when Mr. Cooper, the surgeon, of 13 ren tford, arrived, she w as r emo ved to a sola in the parlour, where, from her completely exhausted state, she was obliged to remain until Thursday. Had not tbo coroner arrived before the time appointed for the inquest, the death of the unfortunate woman would have been inevitable. At the inquest the coroner stated that he had held five or six inquests at least on the bodies of women who had died through the rup ture of varicose veins in the legs. In all thoze fatal instances the deaths had resulted in consequence of the bystanders not having sent for a medical practi tioner with sufficient promptness; and also because they had not known that the bleeding might have been instantly stopped, by placing the thumb with some degree of force on the opening whence the blood flowed, and from their not having, when the fainted, immediately persons bad placed their head lower than their body, and their legs higher than their body. As an enormous number of females who have borne children are efllicted with varicose veins of the legs and feet, the system of treatment necessary for their safety could not (the coroner observed) be too generally known. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN CLERKEMVELL. — SbortIy after nine o'clock last night a fire of a very destructive cha racter broke out at the Sun coffee-house, No. 2, Little Warner-street, Clerkenwell. The flames commenced from a spark flying out of the grate upon a bed, and in an instant afterwards the room was in a general blaze. They were un able to get the fire extinguished until the whole of tt e top rooms of the buildiug,:and all they contained were destroyed, and the premises damaged.
