(From Last Night's Gazette.) INDIA BOARD, Nov. 8, 1842. The following notifications, issued by the Governor- General of India, have this day been received at the East India House : NOTIFICATION.—SECRET DEPARTMENT. K urThe Right Hon. the Governor-General directed the publication of th e f o ll ow i ng copy of a dis aul, Sept o . f 3, India 1842. has dis patch from Major-General England, K.H., dated the 19th ultimo. By order, ate. I% H. MADDOCR, Secretary to the Government of India, with the Governor-General. FROM MAJOR-GENERAL R. , ENGLAND, X.E., TO T. H. MADDOCX, USQ. Camp, near Rine Abdoolla, Aug. 19. Sir—l have the honour to report for the information of the Right lion. the Governor-General in Council, that the British force at Candahar having evacuated that city on the 7th and Bth, I moved from my encampment near its balls on the 10th, pursuant to instructions, with the detachment under-mentioned, en route to Quettah, and that I arrived on this ground yesterday:—One troop late Shah's Horse Artillery; seven guns, drawn by bul locks; two Ressallahs Irregular Horse; one ditto Poona ditto; 25th Bombay Native I n f antry; l a t e Li g ht Batta lion ditto ; Ist, 2d, and sth. Regiments late Shah's Infantry. 2. It was communicated to me on the 9th and subse quently that the insurgents were preparing to attack the column and convoy under my charge in its passage, and especially that they would make efforts to intercept it in the strong country of the Kojuek range, at the northern extremity of which I arrived with little molestation on the morning of the 16th. 3. Whatever might have beets-the intentions of the enemy, it- was ascertained by reconnoitring that the highest points of the mountain were not yet occupied by them, and I thought it right, therefore, notwithstanding that the troops had just completed a night march of twenty-four miles, to push forward a light column to seise the summit at once. 4. This operation was perfected by three battalions, and the most important ridge and all the peaks com manding the principal passes were gained by the troops before dark. 5. On the following morning the insurgents began to appear in small bodies on different hills, but the route being flanked they did little mischief, and the baggage, artillery, and immense retinue under the protection of this camp, including nine or ten thousand beasts of bur den, began the ascent, covered by a rear-guard of two battalions and the cavalry, and I was soon made aware of our good fortune in having seized the heights on the previous evening, for the number of the enemy gradually increased, but all their efforts to capture the baggage, or indeed to interrupt us to any serious extent, were frus trated, and the passage across the Kojuck mountains may be said to have been perfected by noon on the 18th. 6. I hare had the highest reason to be gratified with the exertions of all the officers and troops on this occa sion, and it is entirely owing to their incessant efforts in duties of great fatigue, under a privation of water, both in climbing up the extreme points of the range to drive off the enemy whenever they appeared, and in dragging thirteen pieces of artillery over the ridge, that this ser vice has been accomplished with so little loss on our side of life or of convoy. 7. I beg to inclose a list of the casualties in killed and wounded of this column which have occurred since I left the immediate vicinity of Candahar. 8. My last accounts of Major-General Nett were of the 13th, three marches north of Candahar. 9. His Highness Prince Timoor and his family are in my camp, and every possible attention is paid to his com fort and safety. 10. The Right Honourable the Governor-General will have been ii formed that the Chief Saloo Khan, who had taken service with us after the affair with the enemy of the 28th April, near Hykulzie, suddenly absconded from the military post held by us at this place, on hearing of our abandonment of Candahar, acid it was presumed that he was at the head of the insurgents in the Kojuck bills, but I am not inclined to believe that he was thus em ployed, and I think it more probable that he may have proceeded to join Prince Setter Jung, who had placed himself at the head of affairs at Candahar. 11. I hare no information to warrant the expectation of any serious opposition between this and Quettah, es pecially as the Brahoe connexion with the Affghans seems severed for the present, and I hope to be enabled to report my arrival at Quettah to his Lorpship on the 27th or the 28th instant. 12. Pursuant to the instructions of Government of the 19th of March, I have assumed the political responsi bilities as well as military command, vacated by the casualty therein contemplated in the departure from these countries of Major-General Nott.—l have, &c., R.

Camp Mammoo Khail, Aug. 25, 1842. Sir—l have the honour to report, for the information of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, that I reached Gundamuck on the morning of the 23d instant, with the troops as follows :—First Squadron sth Light Cavalry ; head-quarters and one squadron 10th Light Cavalry ; No. 6 Light Field Battery ; sth company. Sappers and Miners ; her Majesty's 9th Foot ; 26th Native Infantry ; 60th Native Infantry. On approaching the ground a few horsemen appeared, but retired as we advanced. I soon learnt that the enemy, under the chiefs Hadji Alli and Khyroollah Khan, occupiel the village and fort of Mammoo Khail, about two miles from Gundamuck, and I determined upon attacking them the following morning. I ordered up a squadron of the 3d Dragoons and Cap tain Broadfoot's corps of Sappers and Miners from General Sale's camp, and they joined before daylight the following morning. At four A.ll. yesterday morning, I moved towards the enemy with the following troops :-1 squadron sth Light Cavalry, 1 squadron 10th ditto, No. 6 Light Field Bat tery, sth company Sappers and Miners, her Majesty's 9th Foot, 26th Native Infantry, 60th Native Infantry, Broadfoot's Sappers. On clearing the broken ground in front, I divided the infantry into two columns, with a wing of her Majesty's 9th Foot at the head of each, and skirmishers in front. I directed Captain Broadfoot with his corps to go the right. The cavalry also advanced on the right to cut off the retreat of the en emy. Captain Abbott's battery accompanied the columns, and, as we advanced, occasionally opened on the enemy, who continued in position so long we hoped they would oppose us with their whole force ; but they retired on our approach, and we entered the village. The fields in front of the village were purposely flooded to prevent our advance. The left column then went to wards the fort of Mammoo Khail, and the r i g h t co l umn proceeded to Kooclee Kha il ; the ground was impracti cable for cavalry near the whole distance ; but on one or two occasions an opportunity did offer, and the enemy suffered accordingly. Lieutenant-Colonel Taylor, with some companies of the 9th Foot and 26th Native Infantry, occupied part of the heights in front of the village of Kooclee Khail, while Captain Broadfoot and some of the 26th Native Infantry cleared the hills to the left of Lieu tenant Taylor's position. As Kooclee Khail is about two miles from Mammoo Khail, and as tt position there might have been attended with risk, unless very strongly sup ported, I directed Alajor-Gener al M'Caskill to retire on Mammoo Khail. As I considered it of importance to hold Mammoo Khail, which was the enemy's position, I wrote for the whole camp to be brought here, and it ar rived in safety yesterday afternoon. I left the camp standing, and selected Major Davis, of her Majesty's 9th Foot, to command the following party for its protection :—Three companies 26th Native In fantry, three companies 60th Native Infantry, and 50 sowers of the 3d Irregular Cavalry. The duty was one of considerable importance, as' it was by no means im probable that the enemy would take advantage of our ad vance to send a party to the camp. The squadron of Dragoons having arrived just as I was starting, their horses would not have been equal to a day's hard work, which induced me to leave them in camp. The over throw of this part of the enemy must, I conclude, have been very unexpected, as the whole of their camp equi page, with its carriage cattle, was captured by Captain Broadfoot's corps and the 3d Irregular Cavalry. I have much gratification in reporting that the troops, both European and native, of each branch and depart ment, well supported the character of British soldiers. Where all are equally zealous in the cause, and devoted to their duty, my thanks are equally due to all ; but I may be permitted to mention the names or corps and de partments employed. Major-General M`Caskill, K.H., commanding the right column ; Brigadier Tulloch, com manding the left column ; Captain Abbott, commanding the light field battery ; Lieutenant-Colonel Teylor,K.H., commanding her Majesty's 9th Foot ; Ilajor Huish, commanding the 26th Native Infantry ; Capt. Napleton, commanding the 60th Native Infantry ; Major Blair, commanding the 10th Light Cavalry ; Captain Oldfield, commanding squadron of the sth Light Cavalry ; Cap tain Tait, commanding the 3d Irregular Cavalry ; Cap tain Abbott, Field Engineer ; Lieut. Becher, command ing Sappers and Miners ; and Superintending-Surgcon Stiven, and Captain Nugent, officiating Sub-Assistant Commissary-General. The officers of the staff who con veyed my orders to the different columns, and otherwise aided in the movements of the day, were Captain Have lock, Deputy-Assistant-Adjutant-General ; Capt. Smith, Major of Brigade; Captain Ponsonby, Assist.-Adjutant- General ; Captain Lane, Commissary of Ordnance ; Lieutenant Richmond Shakespear, Military Secretary ; Captain Codrington, Assistant Quartermaster-General ; Lieutenant Mayne, Officiating Deputy -Assistant- Quar termaster-General, who was most active throughout the day ; Lieutenant Tytler, Baggage Master ; Lieutenant Pollock, Aide-de-Camp, and Captain M•Gregor, Aide de-Camp. To the last-mentioned officer, I am not only indebted for services in the field, but for valuable infor mation, and for constant exertions to obtain supplies for the force, which his local knowledge and personal ac quaintance with the Mullioks enabled him_ to do. I have this morning heard from several quarters that the two chiefs, Hadji Ali and Khyroollah Khan have gone to Caubul, attended by about sixty men. If I had removed to camp at Gundamuck yesterday, there can be little doubt that the enemy would have re-occupied this place, and he would have announced to the Caubul authorities he had beaten us back. Kooclee Khail has been destroyed by fire. The fort and village of Mammoo Khail have been also destroyed by fire, and before I quit this place the trees, to which much value and im portance are attached, will be cut down. I have the honour to inclose a return of casualties. I regret I shall be deprived of the services of Major Huish, 26th Native Infantry, and Captain Edmonds, her Majesty's 9th Foot, for some time, though I hope not long. Lieutenant Robertson, of the 37th Regiment Na tive Infantry, doing duty with the 26t11 Native Infantry, is slightly wounded, and will, I trust, soon return to his duty. I have the pleasure to inclose reports from Major-Gen. M`Caskill, K.H., and Captain Broadfoot.—l have, &c. G. POLLOCK, Major- General, Commanding in Affghunistan. FROM MAJOR-GENERAL J. BOCISKILL, K.H., COMMANDING INFANTRY DIVISION, TO CAPTAIN G. PONSONRY, AS SISTANT ADJUTANT-GENERAL. Camp, Mammoo Khail, Aug. 25, 1842. Sir,—l beg to detail to you for the information of Major-General Pollock, C. 8., the operations of the right column in the affair of yesterday, after it had become separated from that of the left, on the complete success of the combined attack on the enemy's position in ad vance of Mammoo Khail. You are aware that this force consisted of four com panies of her Majesty's 9th Foot, and six of the 26th Regiment of Native Infantry, under the immediate com mand of Lieut.-Colonel Taylor, K.H., of the former corps. The enemy had fled before our troops and abandoned the village of Kooclee Keil, but reinforced strongly by the fugitives driven back by Brigadier Tulloch's column, he assumed a menacing attitude, and occupied in force a range of heights and detached summits in the Soofaid Koh. The most salient of these was a spur of the mountain within long musket range of the buildings at Kooclee Khail. From this and from other eminences of the most precipitous character, the Ooloos were dislodged with the utmost spirit and gallantry by the details under Lieut.-Colonel Taylor, aided in the most effective manner by a part of Captain Broadfoot's corps of Sappers and Miners. The enemy were reinforced from time to time, and made many bold attacks, and kept up a sharp fire of jezails from the loftiest peaks of the mountain, but our troops, though so, much pressed as to be compelled to recede from ground which they had gained in one direction, main tained an advanced position among the hills until with drawn by order of Major-General Pollock, first into the plateau in front of the village of Kooclee Khail, which they burnt down, and then back upon the present site of encampment. In retiring over the plain, between the two principal villages, the movement was covered by a squadron of the sth, and another of the 10th Light Cavalry, but the attempts of the Ooloos to annoy were timid and feeble in the extreme, and our troops did not sustain a single casualty from their effects. Lieutenant- Colonel Taylor speaks in high terms of the support which he received from Major Huish, commanding the 26th Regiment Native Infantry, who was wounded, and afterwards from Captain Handscombe, of the same corps, and from Captain Ogle, commanding her Majesty's 9th Foot ; and I beg to be permitted to bear my testimony to the merits of the Lieutenant-Colonel's own exertions on this occasion, as well as to express my sense of the gallantry of all the troops engaged, and to acknowledge the able assistance which I received from Captain Have lock, her Majesty's 13th Light Infantry, Deputy As sistant-Adjutant-General ; Lieutenant Mayne, 37th Regiment. Native Infantry, Officiating Deputy Assistant Quartermaster General ; and Lieutenant Bethune, her Majesty's 9th Foot, my Aide-de-Camp. The intrepidity also with which Captain Broadfoot's Sappers and Miners aided in the attack on one of the advanced heights de serves my marked commendation.—l have, &c., JOHN APCA SKILL, Major-General, Commanding Infantry Division. FROM CAPTAIN J. BROADFOOT, SAPPERS AND MINERS, COMMANDING RIGHT COLUMN, TO CAPTAIN G. PON .SONDY, ASSISTANT ADJUTANT-GENERAL, Camp, Mammoo Khail, Ang. 25. Sir— -Agreeably to orders, I have the honour to report the proceedings of the column entrusted to me by the Ma jor-General commanding, in the action of yesterday. I moved, as directed, with the Sappers (about 220 men) and the 3d Irregular Cavalry (250) across the ra vine to the right of the force. We found the enemy strongly posted in an orchard with some enclosures, and the usual field-works of loose stones in their front were also occupied. This position flanked the approach of the main body. Having formed an attacking party in front, I sent the rest of the Sappers in column under Lieutenant Orr, to turn the enemy's left flank, and Captain Tait's horse still more to the right, and in advance, to cut off their retreat. While we waited in this order the advance of the force, the enemy reinforced the orchard, and moved out to attack us. 1 was therefore obliged to advance be fore the force arrived. The enemy's positions were quickly carried in succession. One party was driven towards the 3d Irregular Cavalry, who pursued, and the remainder fled to the village of Mammoo Khail, into which the main body of the enemy were at this moment driven by the fire of our artillery. They opened a fire on us, ill-directed, but so heavy that we were obliged to attack the village. They fled when we reachedit, and the Sappers pursued to the fort, but were so exhausted by the march from Futteabad, and the previous operations, that the enemy was able to enter and barricade- the gate. Their fire was kept down by one party of the Sappers, while the rest climbed on each other's shoulders over a half repaired bastion, about eight feet high, and covered with thorns. The enemy fled over the walls on the other side, leaving the rear gate barricaded. This, and de scending from the walls, lost so much time, that pursuit was nearly hopeless as far as our now exhausted men were concerned. Nye pressed on with the least fatigued, however, and, keeping up to the hills, forced the enemy into ground. Our cavalry were approaching, and we had the satisfaction of seeing the cavalry overtake and attack them. Parties were now directed to destroy the forts aban doned on the cavalry approaching, while with a few men I pushed on to the last village near the hills. There we urprised the enemy i whose head-quarters were there, riving them out of the village and adjoining camp, and taming their tents, cattle, and ammunition, and a good uantity of provisions. The enemy (who were evidently he Jezailchees from Caubul) fled to the hills, the fire of which swept the village. I was now directed to take a party of her Majesty's 9th Foot—the Sappers being no w worn out, except about six men—and attack th e hills ; the first and second heights were carried at the point of the bayonet, and flanking parties having turned the shoulders of the high range, we were advancing up it when the main force ar rived, and our further progress was stayed. My sepa rate command now ceased, and I was soon after ordered with the Sappers to head-quarters. The conduct of the troops, officers and men, European and Native, was admirable ; and it is due to the 26th Native Infantry to mention, that in storming the second height with a party of her Majesty's 9th Foot, a party of the former corps joined us, and behaved with the same spirit as the rest.—l have, Etc.

Richard Bentley, New Burlington-street. The steam-packet season between Brighton and Dieppe has been brought to a close owing to the dis continuance of the diligences from Dieppe to Paris, which usually cease running about the beginning of November for the. winter ; but it is expected that the General Steam Navigation Company's packet, the Lord Melville, Captain Goodhurn, will run between Brighton and Havre during the winter. There has been some talk of continuing the railway from Rouen to Dieppe, the saving of distance by making Brighton and Dieppe the route from London to Paris having excited considerable attention, and if we are correctly informed, strong efforts will be made to carry the rail way to Dieppe instead of Havre, and by this means travellers might breakfast in London and sup in Paris the same evening. The Southampton Company are doing all they can, in conjunction with Sir J. East hope, to get the railroad to Havre, and the Brighton Railway Company will doubtless use their exertions to get the railroad to Dieppe. The distance from Lon don to Paris, via Brighton and Dieppe, can be accom plished now in about 22 hours ; by way of Brighton and Havre, in 27 hours; via DOver and Calais, 30 hours ; :via Southampton and Havre, 31i hours. There is also a considerable saving in expense as well as time by way of Brighton and Dieppe. THE COMPIIETION OF TILT TUNINEL.—TIIIS stupen dous work is finished, and Wapping has reason to be proud of such a truly wapping undertaking. Per haps no enterprise ever had so much cold water thrown upon it, and never was there a project which it seemed at one time so difficult to go through with. The engineer has worked like a horse, and has scarcely ever been out of the shaft. The original shareholders, whose pockets were well drained in fruitless efforts to drain the tunnel, have now the satisfaction of once more running through their property. For some time the ardour of the projectors was damped by the works going on too swimmingly. When accidents were every-day occurrences the Tunnel was a matter of interest ; but, since the water has been effectually kept out, it has become a dry subject. On more than one occasion the Company would have been swamped, in spite of all hands being put to the pumps, if Go vernment had not lent them their succour. The funds, in fact, were at low-water mark long before the works reached the same desirable point; and the more the Tunnel was set afloat, the more were the shareholders aground in their undertaking. But the perils are now past, and the Tunnel remains as a monument to British enterprise. We should call it, perhaps, a pillar to the fame of the engineer, if it were not that a pillar is incomplete without two things, one of which, the shaft, has been taken away, while the Proprietors have long since lost sight of the capital.— Cruikshank' s Comic Almanac for 1843. NARROW ESCAPE FROM DROWNING.—On Satur afternoon, the British Queen, river steamer, had just left the Paisley and Renfrew Railway wharf, on her passage upwards, when the ferry-boat shot across from the north side of the river, containing, besides the ferryman, one man and two women, one of the latter having a child in her arms, all of whom wished to be put on board the steamer. From some cause, however, hitherto unexplained, the ferry-boat put in before the paddle-box ; but, fortunately, the master of the steam-boat, Captain M'Aulay, had pre viously stopped the engine, and thus preserved the small boat from being run down. The steamer, nevertheless, being under weigh, caused such a surge in the water as almost filled the ferry-boat, and fairly floated the passengers out of her, all of whom were left to struggle for their lives in the river. In this emergency, ihe small boat of the British Queen was lowered ; and a boat connected with a dredging ma chine belonging to the River Trustees was also rowed to the spot, and such prompt and effectual assistance rendered that the whole party were safely taken on board the steamer, with the exception of the ferryman, who, during the entire transaction, kept his position in his own boat. The female with the child instinc tively clung to her infant, seemingly without being aware of it, as, after she was taken on board the steamer, she called out to ascertain if it was safe, while all the time the little thing was clasped in her arms. — Glasgow Argus.

GIBRALTAR, OCT. 27.—The Owen Glendower convict ship, Mr. Bradshaw, master, arrived on the 22d instant., in nine days from Portsmouth, having on board 200 convicts to be employed on the fortifications and in the Dockyard of the garrison ; also some su pernumerary seamen for the Mediterranean squadron. She has been stripped of her rigging, and moored off the Dockyard, where she is to remain stationed. Her Majesty's steam-vessel Prometheus arrived from Malta on the 23d, with the mail for England, and sailed again on the evening. sif the 24th with that brought out by the Montrose packet.

Considerable improvements are being made in the fortificatithikof this garrison. A large battery was inaugurated on the 25th in the Salatneda, by his Ex cellency the Governor, Sir F. Woodford, K.C.8., un der the name of Queen Victoria's Battery. The whole of the troops of the garriseal were drawn out on the occasion, and a Royal salute was fired from the saluting battery.

ALICE LOWE:CITY OF LONDON THEATRE.-- The notoriety of the case of Alice -Lowe and Lord Frankfort, with the verdict of the Jury in her favour induced' the managers of this theatre to speculate on the chance of her attraction on the stage, and she made her appearance on Monday in two characters—Lucy Lovetrick, in the Dead Shot, and Mrs. Somerton, in the burletta of My Neighbour's Wife. The announce ment drew together the largest audience of the season —box, pit, and gallery were crowded to the ceiling. On the appearance of the young lady she was greeted with the most deafening applause, which she returned with some grace. Her acting was tolerable, and at the conclusion of the piece she advanced to speak a few lines written for the occasion; her feelings, however, overcame her, and after saying something about " the immortal bard, lovely woman, an unhappy maid, and no wife," she fell on the stage. Mr. Johnson, one of the actors, came to her assistance, and the curtain fell. A loud call was made for her before the cur tain, and Mr. Dunn, the manager, appeared to beg the indulgence of the audience on her in conse quence of the exhausted state of her feelings. The audience were most indulgent, and the manager re tired with applause. As a matter of speculation the lessees will be gainers, judging from the first night,— ' Adverttser. . —„ STATE OF TRADE IN PAISIXY.—The hopes of im proved trade continue to be disappointed, and from their utter inability to obtain eniprOyment, the num bers on the relief list are rapidly on the increase. The additional numbers last week amounted to no less than 523, and the total amount of those" 4ependent on the Relief Committee is again swelled up to seven thou sand persons. In addition to this increase in the number of distressed operative manufacturers, great suffering also exists amongst the labourers dependent on agricultural work, who, either from the poverty of the farmer, the dryness of the season, or some other cause we are unaware of, are thrown idle almost universally, leaving themselves and families in a state of destitution almost indescribable. Sometimes about 200 of these men, heads of families, are going about the town ready to labour at any wages, but unable to get work. These labourers have been denied all assistance whatever from the ordinary Relief Com mittee ; but, in the expectation of being supported with subscriptions at the forthcoming county meet ing, the Committee of the county appointed at Ren frew have been giving a very age gratuitous food to a few of the most destitute families, and from a dozen to twenty families have also been sent home to their native places, some of them to the Highlands, but the most of them to Ireland.—Glasgow Argus.

THE ASTEROIDS OF NOVEMBER.—The periodical return of the shooting stars, which for some years past have attracted much attention from astronomical and meteorological observers throughout Europe, may be expected on the evening of Friday and morning of Saturday next, the 11th and 12th inst. For several years their annual revolutions have been noticed in the months of August and November, but the atmos phere in France and Italy having been the most fa vourable for observations, they have in those countries excited most notice. Their usual appearance, as noticed abroad, has been a series of bright scintilla tions, emanating chiefly from the constellation Lyra. In some cases they have been noticed in rapid motion m 150 to 200 have from eight to ten hours, and fro been seen by obse r vers. The years 1839 and 1840 were favourable for o bservation in the neighbour hood of the metropolis, when the " asteroids" pr e _ ceded the singular phenomena of the aurora borealis, which then excited so much attention. The prevalent opinion of astronomers is that they are the re • of mains former planets, split by some internal convulsion, or the approach of a comet, which are only visible within f ihe ra nge of these periods of its revolutions in its orbit. Their appearance within the last few years has been a ttended with some curious meteorological pheno mena, which in the present week will be meteorological the object of investigation by many of the metropolitan and pro vincial Societies by a series of simultaneous observa tions which have been agreed upon, METROPOLITAN IMPROVEM —The Commis sioners of Woods and Forests have given notice that it is their intention to apply to Parliament early Bext session for an Act empowering them to widen and improve - that part of the carriage-road and side-foot way of Piccadilly, in the parish of St. George's, Hanover-square, which lies between Bolton-street, on the east, and P ark-lane, on the west, and to take and use for that purpose (by her Majesty's permissida) b 0 much of the Green-park, in the parish of St. Martin's in-the-Fields, as will make it of a uniform width of seventy feet ; it is likewise intended by the said Act to sever that portion of the Green-park so used from the parish of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, and annex it to that of St. George's, Hanover-square, so that after the carriage and footway shall be l evelled an d paved by the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, they shall be henceforth mainta ined and ke pt in rep'sFrr by the parish of St. George's, IIRHOVET-Square. THE GRAVE-YARDS OF THE METROPOLIS.—A peti tion to the House of Commons is now in course of signature among the householders find inhabitants of the Strand and Drury-lane, praying for the closing of the various burial-grounds in that vicinity. The Petitioners contend that the overcharged_ state of the various grave-yards in the neighbourhood is destruc tive to the health of the inhabitants, and therefore pray that Parliament will take such steps, at the ear liest possible period, as may lead to the abolition of the present system of interment. The -petition ha s already received between 7,000 and 8,000 SlenatprOE. Dr. CHANI\ ING'S LAST WORK. On Friday Next will be published, in Svo., price la.
