all those on hoard the first-named boat. The weather, when the vessels started, was rough and squally, and to attempt the contest on such a day was obviously a very icrams enterpi ise. Actuated, however, by a keen pas sion for sport, and by a spirited rivalry, the owners of the boats determined to bravo the apparent danger, and C3l - Ty out their object. The start took place at two ,o'clock, and the Wave rounded the flag-boat one minute and a half before the Blue Bell, but the moment that the boats " hauled their wind," the superiori , y of the latter on this tack was seen by her gradually coming up with the Wave, slightly weathering her, and tacking to windward, when the Wave wore round. Both boats now stood over to the westward, the Blue Bell fast fore • reaching. After some little while, the vessel just named again tacked, and fetched a long way to windward of the Wave. In this position of affairs, the weather, which had been all along much too re ugh to be agreeable, grew a great deal worse, and a very hard squall was seen to be coming up, for which it was neces sary for the boats to prepare. The gentlemen on board the Blue Bell, we believe (consisting of Mr. Howard, Captain Gillett, and Lieutenant Rennie, I N.), resolved on giving up the contest, and returning. Mr. Keys— who, with Mr. Cork, a pilot, was on hoard tle Wave — had no thought of going back; but in shifting the sheets to prepare for the squall, the n an ordered to disengage the ropes appears to have bungled in his task, and the wind consequently took both sails with tr, mendeus force, and the boat capsized—the Lascar who had caused the disaster jumping overboard the moment he saw she was going. There were now fourteen persons thrown into a high and foaming sea—the wind blowing, and the rain driving, with the utmost fury. There was no hope for the boat, for it seems that her ballast was secured by ropes, and as soon as she upset, she went down like a shot. The twelve Lascars swam round the two Euro peans; they cut and stripped off the clothes of Mr. Keys, while in the water, with the greatest alacrity; and they did their best ulso to disengage Mr. Cork of the heavy garments which he wore, and which added greatly to his danger. In this, however, they were not very success ful; and as the pilot was a much less expert swimmer than his companion, it was necessary that a considerable number of the natives should keep constantly beside him, to prevent him from sinking. The party once attempted to swim in the direction of a vessel which they saw some little distance from them; but they could not near her, and as they were some three miles from shore, in a high sea, and with the weather occasionally so thick that they could not see six yards before them, it is hardly sur prising that they should have given themselves up as lost. Notwithstanding the impression that all must go to the bottom, the greatest coolness and presence of mind appears to have prevailed. The natives in particu lar behaved nobly; and they gave their assistance to the "Sahibs" with a degree of energy, and an absence of all selfish feeling, which contrasted strongly with the usual traits of the native character, as displayed in times of difficulty and danger. Unexpected help was now at band. The Blue Bell was returning, and providen tially bore down upon the track of the lost Wave — the disaster to which, owing to the thickness of the weather, she had not witnessed. The crew were seen struggling in the water, and every man was picked up and saved. Mr. Keys was soon "all right" again, and the natives, we believe, were unhurt. Mr. Cork, however, had swallowed a good deal of salt water, and he continued for some time very ill. Perhaps men were never in more imminent danger of a watery grave; for had the Blue Bell not come so opportunely and unex pectedly to their rescue, nothing could have saved them from destruction. It seems to us that to attempt to sail boats in such weather betokens a degree of temerity which only the requirements of duty could justify, and which is quite unwarrantable in the pursuit of mere pleasure. We hope in future there will be no more such temptings of Providence." —Bombay Telegraph and Courier, July 30. The Telegraph and Courier announces the demise of Lieutenant LI. IL Wilan, of the Madras H. A., which took place on the 13th of July at Secunderabad. This young officer had accompanied the detachment which under the late Captain Howorth had some time since captured the fortified pagoda of Budrachellum. On this service both the gallant officers just named caught the maladies which proved fatal to them, Captain Howarth having died suddenly on the 10th of June, on the banks of the Godavery, and Lieutenant Wilan, at Secun derabad a short month afterwards.—Bombuy Times, August 1. MALWA.—By letters from Mhow of the 23d ult., we learn that Captain Timins and Lieutenant Edwards, of the Mehidpoor Contingent, were at Indore very sick. Captain Fenwick, who held an appointment under the Halkar government at Tandler, was about to resign, he having obtained another on the Godavery river.—lbid. We have received authentic intelligence of the death, near Naoshera, on his way to Kashmeer, of Ajeet Singh, the ex-Raja of Ladwa, whose escape from Allahabad created a considerable sensation at the period it oc curred, especially as ,it was accompanied by the murder of a Chokeydar in charge of his person.— Delhi Gazette, of July 18. DEATH OF LIEUTENANT GlLBERT.—Lieutenant Gil ' bert, whose sudden death we recorded in our last, was, as I we mentioned, assisting to extinguish a fire in the lines of the 9th Regiment Native Infantry. While pulling a chopper off one of the huts, he fell and literally im ; paled himself on some bamboos that were sticking up. Ho only survived the dreadful accident about half an . hour. He had just strength to call for help to lift him off from under the chopper, but became quite insensible immediately after.—Delhi Gazette, July 25.

The directors of the Eastern Counties Railway having delays d any announcement of their intention to start a special train this morning until Monday afternon, the majority of the fre (venters of the meeting here made art angemE nts to leave by the five o'cicck afternoon train. It proved an unlucky set , ction, its progress having been so miserably slow that it did not reach its destination until half past nine. When there, owing to the neglect of the managers to provide a sufficient staff, the passen gers had to be their oen porters, and a scene of great confusion ensued. It is to be hoped that this will be remedied on future occasions, and that the public may be favoured with timely notice of their intentions. The special train, which left this morning at h alf- p ast ei g ht o'olock, and arrived in a trifle over two hours, brought a considerable number of passengers, scarcely enough. however, to make it a profitable one to the company. The sport disappointed our expectations ; the Trial Stakes did not fill, end of nine matches three only came off—a list which at one time promised a dozen races being thus reduced to halt that number; their results are subjoi: ed. The wetther was favourable in the ex treme, and the attendance , without being so g reat as many had anticipated, the best we have seen at a First October Meeting for many years. The couree was in capital order. The new betting ring on the flit affords more space for horsemen, and is decidedly an improve. ment ou the old OLIO.

(From the Overland China Mail of July 25.) This month has produced no new subject of in terest; and the newspapers have been chiefly occu pied in discussions arising out of Captain Keppel's in vasion of Macao. But these can now attract very little attention out of China, as judgment will have been pronounced on the question by the Government and by the press at home a month before they can be edified with the further lucubrations of local editors and their correspondents. The only point presenting any novelty or importance, which seems to us at all likely to be noted elsewhere, is the subsequent trial before the "Macao Court of four British seamen, who have been sentenced to three and four weeks' impri sonment, without, any attempt being made by the British naval co nmander on this station to release them, or to questi ,n the jurisdiction of the Portuguese over British subjects at Macao. Canton continue , quiet, notwithstanding the vati cinations of our I.edian and local contemporaries, who anticipated noth'ng but an aggravation of inso lence and hatred o foreigners on the part of the populace, to follow upin their having kept us outside the City gates. Very few edicts from the Mandarins, or placards from the p .ople, have been issued in re ference to foreigners, and these few are moderate in their tone. Shanghae has been suffering from the effects of heavy rain and floods, unexampled in the experience of foreigners. The crops of cotton have suffered greatly, and the native trade been impeded ; while rice, the staple of life, has risen enormously in price. Last month we mentioned the wreck of the schooner Torrington in the Yang-tse-kiang, and we have now to record the loss on the 7th instant of two other vessels, also on the north bank of the river— namely, the Mary Whitney and Persian, from Singa pore with Straits' produce; crews saved. Her Ma jesty's steamer Medea, we learn, succeeded in saving part of the cargo of the Mary Whitney, but finding it impossible to save the ship, blew up her decks. Her Majesty's brig Arab was endeavouring to float off the Persian, but it is feared she will not succeed. It is further stated that the loss of the Torrington, at any rate, may be attributed to there being no bea con at the time on the north bank, the vessel having gone ashore within 200 yards of the spot where the beacon used to be but was not. Her Majesty's brig Pilot has been engaged in the suppression of piracy, sinking and capturing suspi cious native vessels, and handing over the crews as pirates to the Chinese authorities at Amoy. (From the Herald.) We have received, by extraordinary express, our files of papers from Calcutta of the 7th of August, private correspondence of the Bth, and China of the 25th July. No Bcmbay journals have come by this arrival. The delay of the present Overland Mail was caused by the violence of the monsoon, the Precuesor beirg obliged to go to the south of the line to avoid its fury. The Ripon brought home the bags from Alexandria, whence she sailed on the 16th inst. The intelligence now received is of no particular import ance. India and China were quiet. Exports at Cal cutta were extensive, and imports in good demand. Money market easy. Canton was tranquil. Shanghae bad suffered much from flocds, and the crops of cotton had been consi derably injured. Rice had risen enormously in price. Imports dull, but exports tolerably good. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) CALCUTTA, AUG. 8, 3.30 P.M. I have but little in the way of news to add to that which ycu will find in the printed summary of the Ilurkaru, which I subjoin. An ugly rumour as to disaffection and insubordinaticn evinced by some of our troops in the Punjaub has found its way into the papers, and possibly may go home in a form calcu lated to excite some uneasiness. The truth of it, as I learn on excellent authority, is that the 13th and 22d Native Infantry refused to receive their pay on account of some mistake about their " Sinde al lowances." Sir Charles Napier purposed to pay a visit to Rawul Pindee, where those regiments are stationed, for the purpose of arranging the matter ; but it has been done without his help, and, as I hest., quite satisfactorily. The police inquiry is goivg on to day, but I have not heard what is doing. There can be little doubt of its ending in an entire remodelling of the establishment, and in our having a new chief magistrate. Some of your readers will be glad to learn that Dr. Duff, the emi nent Free Church Missionary, has just returned to Calcutta from a tour in South India. He comes back with renovated health and energy, and is to give an account of his travels at a meeting to be held this half of Ab. M.

Nearly a month has passed since we dispatched our last summary, but long as the interval has been it has produced little to give interest or importance to its records. The sinister rumours in and about the Punjaub and Cashmere seem to be dying away. The report of our Government having demanded the surrender of Goolaub Singh's artillery has been positively contra dicted ,by the Delhi Gazette, which states, as on authority, that so far from their being any idea of hostility between the parties, they never Were on better terms than now. It is Probable that these rumours have origi nated in surmises as to the probability of a rupture with the chief of Cashmere, now that we have Sir Charles N apier as Commander in -Chief, looking out, asit is of course assumed that he is doing, for an opportunity of winning new laurels. Goolaub Singh is the victim of a bad name. Such is the ill repute in which he is held that the most unequivocal demonstrations of loyalty and friendship avail not to neutralise that distrust with which his every act is regarded. It may be shown that his fortune, his sovereignty, his life depend upon his preserving the favour of his British neighbours, and it will be ad mitted that he is at least knowing enough to under stand his own interests ; but still people cannot divest themselves of the impression that Goolaub is our enemy aud only waits an opportunity of show ing it. But while all these disagreeable rumours have been banded about the country, the latest dis closures relating to the Mountain Monarch exhibit him in the peaceful and philanthropic character of a sub scriber to the Lawrence Asylum for the children of English soldiers, and to the British Indian Govern ment's five per cent. loan—to the former he has pre. seated a magnificent donation of a lakh of rupees, in the latter he has invested, we believe, something but little short of a million sterling. Moolraj has not been executed, nor is it likely that Le will be. In the latest intelligence from Lahore it is stated that a belief prevailed there that the order for the commutation of the sentence had actually been is'ued, and would shortly be made public. The Punjaub continues quiet, and there is no im mediate p:ospect of its peace being disturbed ; but our Government very prudently keeps its troops occupying the country on the alert, and a part of them are rca ly to move at the shortest notice. The Marquis of Dalhousie and Sir Charles Napier continue at Sim'ab, but it has been reported that they both contemplate a journey to the Trans-Indus pro vinces of the Purrjaub. Sir Henry LaN,rcnce has left Simlah and will pro ceed to Cashmere, partly it would seem, for the benefit of his health, ani partly to transact business with the Maharaja. A second and final distribution of Sinde prize money has been ordered. The amount for division are upon various deductions, including one of 2,73,677 rs. for Sir Charles Napier's additional six teenth of the former instalment, is 10,89,360 rs., of Which Sir Charles takes an eighth, or 1,36,170 rs. The entire amount of the conqueror's share of the spoils of Sinde is 6,83,522 rs., very little short of the 70,000/. at which it has been estimated. Many of our home readers will learn with regret, if no more bitter feeling, that Captain J. D. Cunning ham, the author of perhaps the best history o f the Seikhs that has been written, has been removed from his appointment of political agent in Bhopal as a punishment for having in his book " made unautho rised use of official documents entrusted to his charge as a public officer." People here, knowing that other officers have been allowed without rebuke to do that for which Captain Cunningham is punished so severely, attribute his removal to his having written a book which the Government do not like; and others see in the measure a testimony to the authority of the work which the booksellers might Blake much of by skilful management. The shareholders of the Benares Bank, in meeting assembled, have resolved to close the concern. We mentioned in one of our late dispatches that the pro ceedings of dertain military directors of this bank had led to its irretrievable embarrassment and the loss of a large part of its capital. It is believed, however, that it will be fully able to meet its responsibilities to third parties, and the shareholders have been pro mised a deliverance from their difficulties at the small cost of about 30 per cent. on the amount of their investments. In Calcutta the one grand object of public interest is an inquiry into the state of the police and the con duct of the magistrates, which is now in pro gress. We stated some time ago that the local press Was agitating for such an investigation, being incited thereto by the general expression of dissatisfaction and distrust among people of all classes, who com plained loudly of the tyranny and inefficiency of the police, and attributed it to the alleged fact of at least two of the three magistrates aud the heads of the police being deeply in debt to a wealthy native, who was supposed to exercise a malign influence on their administration in all its branches. Government has at length been induced to take up the matter. One of the magistrates, who sought the aid of the insol vent court to relieve him from the burden of his liabilities, was removed from the bench ; and finally a commission has been appointed to inquire into the state of the police and the magistracy, especially in deference to the supposed existence of the improper influence alluded to. To two civil servants, Messrs. J. R. Colvin and W. Dampier, has this important duty been entrusted. The inquiry has been carried on with open doors, and men of all ranks and classes have been invited to aid in it with their testimony. It has excited interest sufficient to collect a crowded audience, and old In dians at home will learn probably with surprise that a Bengal civil servant of 30 years' standing is virtually on his trial for official misdemeanours before all the tag-rag and bobtail of Calcutta. Such is the newest sign of the times, such the latest achievement of a fret press. The weather has been somewhat unsettled of late, but cool and pleasant for the season. A vessel belonging to his Majesty of Burmah has, within the last few days, gone ashore on Saugor Island; 1111 hands saved, but the ship a wreck. There was a general complaint of want of rain all over India lately ; but from recent accounts there is reason to hope that sufficient has fallen to avert the prospect of famine which was threatening in some quarters. The commercial report is still favourable, both a s to the import and country produce markets. A considerable amount of business has been done in ex change, which is now quoted at ls. 100. to Is. 101 d. for first rate six months' sight bills. Freights have declined again under the pressure of numerous ship ping arrivals—the quotations are for sugar, to London 4/. 10s. to 41. 12s. 6d. to Liverpool 4/. ss. to 41. 7s. 6d. The mail of the 7th June arrived on the 16th ult., and that of June 25th, per Bentinck, yesterday. The following are further extracts from the India and China papers : THE RACE BETWEEN THE BLUE BELL AND THE WAVE. CANTON MARKET, JULY 24. IMPORTS. The dulness in our import market still continues, nor does there appear any sign of improvement. EXPORTS. Teas—Black—The market for new Congous opened immediately after the departure of the last mail, and up to date 150 chops have been settled at rates showing an advance of 3 to 5 taels upon those of last year, 30 to 32 taels being paid for first class teas. 250 chops have ar rived, and there being less demand within the past few days, prices have receded, and are now 2 to 3 taels below the highest range. Canton Greens—The transactions for the month are small, prices here being higher than in England. The latest advices from the north speak of damage having been done by the late heavy rains and floods to the com mon kinds of green tea.

The late inundations, which caused such extensive destruction of life and property, have for the present completely put a stop to all internal communication. The low lands along the banks of the Yang-tae-keang are covered to the depth of several feet, the rice and cotton crops entirely destroyed, and the inhabitants con sequently ruined. The Chinese Government will doubt less exert itself in relieving the necessities of the poor people, but the effects upon foreign trade will be felt for a long time to come. The price of provisions has nearly doubled. (From the China Mail of July 12.) The denial of Portuguese authority over British subjects at Macao has been the leading argument in de fence of Captain Keppel's recent proceedings. We believe it to be utterly futile, and have already explained our reasons for thinking so. If it be otherwise, however, it is of course the duty of our au , horities to use the powers entrusted to them to prevent British subjects being ar rested and punished by a pretended foreign Government, whatever may be the offence with which they are charged; for to do otherwise in any case at Macao, espe cially at present, would be admitting the jurisdiction of the Portuguese, and thereby imply condemnation of the conduct of Captain Koppel. The remark has been suggested by a case subse quent to that of Mr. Summers, the circumstances being as follows: — The British barque Cumberland, Captain J. W. Lewis, from Singapore, came into Macao Roads on the 18th of June. On that day and the subsequent one several of the seamen refused to work, and became exceedingly obstreperous in their conduct and insulting in their language towards the chief officer and captain. The most forward among them was a man named Turner, who, after the vessel anchored, not only con tinued to disobey the orders of the officer, but challenged him to fight, and drove him to his cabin; and upon Captain Lewis coming on deck, the fellow turned upon him, and not content with abase, struck the captain (dead), 7st 131 b.

Political affairs in Europe appear to approach a crisis, baffling all calcula tion i❑ their results, but from the expectations that England will remain aloof, our trade scarcely seems to feel the struggle. The transactions in exports have been extensive — Exchange has been very stationary. Freights are not high—and with the bazaar amply stocked with produce, prices have mostly taken a somewhat lower range. A large and increased business has been done in sugar, and though prices have ruled lower for Benares, the market is now firm. Silk is neglected, and can be bought lower, as the new silk will be at market before long. A general inquiry has prevailed for corahs, and parcels have been sel►ing steadily on arrival, without change in value. Saltpetre has sold largely, and at high rates for England and America, but with a fuller supply in the bazaar, prices are now more moderate. A little rice was sent to Liverpool when freights were at their lowest. Shell lac and lac dye show little change, ship ments of both being large. The best part of the sankower crop has now gone, and it continues to sell at full rates. Mustard seed has gone very largely to England. Jute 7 to 2 agat Knight o A revel.

Other three of the crew—Wilson, Matheson, and M‘Kane, joined with Turner in his insubordination ; and when Captain Lewis was going over the ship's side for the purpose of reporting their conduct to the authorities, one of them called out, that if all the black sheep were to be punished he must be included in the number. These facts are detailed in the ship's log, and were declared before the port captain, who, at the request of Lewis, and with the governor's sanction, sent a corporal's guard to arrest the men and bring them on shore. The charge having been regularly gone i nto by the Procurador de Coroa, the men were brought by him be fore the Court of Correctional Police, where, the case being sufficiently proved, the judge sentence d to a month, and the other three to twenty days' imprison ment, with the alternative of shortening the term by paying a tael in lieu of every day's imprisonment. The men, who are all British subjects, are now under going their sentence in Macao gaol ; and few will say it is not deserved; but that of course has nothing to do with the national question of the right of the Por tuguese to adjudicate in the matter at all. It remains therefore with Captain Troubridge, who is now in command of the station, to determine on the steps to be taken. In the case of Mr. Summers, he could only act a secondary part, in giving advice to Captain Keppel ; and if that was to set at nought the authority of the Portuguese, it is clear, were Captain Troubridge to pass over the present case, he would sur render what has been put forward as the strongest posi tion of his senior officer. The argument in favour of Captain Keppel, founded on the incompetency of the Portuguese authority, has received confirmation in a high quarter within the past week, in the course of a trial before Chief Justice Llulme, in which it was stated that one of the parties had been residing beyond the jurisdiction of the Court ; but upon learning that Macao was meant, his Lord ship said, " But Macao is within the jurisdiction of the Court ; " in which opinion Mr. Cay, the Registrar, con curred, and in proof produced the ordinance about which there has lately been so much discussion. We still ad here to our own opinion notwithstanding ; but think it only fair to mention that of the highest law authority in the colony. is freely shipped. - Accounts from China are to the 23d of June, and opium having gone down there, prices have sank here some 60 to 70 rs. per chest. Patna has lately ruled at 965 to 975 rs. per chest; and at the tenth sale of the season, held yesterday, averages were—Patna, Co.'s Rs. 973 15 1; Beneres, ditto, 981 13 3 per chest. The import trade has maintained a fair position. The supplies until recently were light, and in most British goods the business done has been large, and at steady prices. There are, however, some elements of uncer tainty now exciting a little alarm. A protracted drought has prevailed throughout northern India during July. Fears of a famine are entertained, and though some rain has by last accounts fallen in the nearer districts, the reliet must be general, before business with the upper provinces resumes its wonted extent at this season. For cotton goods a steady market has prevailed. Local demand is good, and though latterly there has been some disposition shown by up-country dealers to con tract their operations, the business done has been con- aid rabic. - The sales of mule twist have also been large. De mand has been more general, and a further advance has taken place in the finer numbers. Red twist sells slowly, and at low rates. The effects of drought in the north-west have been most apparent in our metal market. Though this is the season when demand is usually most active, there is no thing doing. So dull a season has not been known for years, and though stocks are unusually small, prices of copper, speller, and iron have all gone lower. The money market is quite easy. Discounts are tow, and Government securities only fluctuate a little one way or the other, as rumours prevail respecting the closing of the 5 per cent. loan. Prices of Company's paper are—New Fives, per cent., rs. 0 3to rs. 0 6 dis.; Sicea Fives, per cent., rs. 1 0 to rs. 1 4 dis.; Company's Fours, per cent., re. 14 8 to rs. 15 0 dis.; Sicca Fours, per cent , rs. 15 to rs. 16 0 dis. The tendency in Exchange has continued to be down ward; a good deal of bnsiness has been done, and rates have ruled, for the best 6 m. s. paper—American credits ls. toil to is. 10 7-16 d.; Baring and Browns is. iOjd. to ls. 10 7-16 d.; other first• class credits, chiefly Bombay is. bold. to is. 10id.; dccument bills, Is. 10jd. to is Hid. per rupee. Tonnage was scarce for some time, and 41. 15s. to 51. were paid for sugar to London. A good many ships having eome in, some decline has taken place, and pre sent rates may be quoted, for sugar—to London 41. 10s. to 41. 12s. 6d., and to Liverpool 44 ss. to 41. 7s. 6d. per ton. 501.

GAS Exmosios AT GietzEnwicw.—On Monday night, about ten o'clock, an explosion of gas took place at the residence of Mr. William Matthews, of the firm of Penn and Co., engineers, at No. 18, Valentine-place, Blackheath-road. Mr. Matthews was sitting busily en gaged with tools and instruments used in engineering, when he perceived a strong smell of gas, and on rising from his seat with a lighted paper to discover from whence the escape of gas proceeded , a loud and a larming explosion took place, driving the two window sashes into the street, and demolishing upwards of fifty squares of glass. Mr. Matthews was much burnt about the face and hands, and one female servant suffered by being scorched on the neck. RTsa, Ins or Wwwr.--The 'Bishop of Oxford has recently been on a visit with our vicar, the Rev. W. S. Phillips. During his stay his Lordship preached at St. Thomas's Church in aid of au important local object. The contribution amounted to 831., to which a further offering of 2 )1. was made by a lady of Mr. Phillips' con gregation, giving a total of 103L—Hants Chronicle. ACCIDENT TO A CLERGINIAN.—We regret to state that an accident of a serious nature occurred 3esterday morning, opposite the Mackworth Arms Inn, to a Rev. Gentleman, named Morgan, of Carmarthen. Ho had taken his seat on the mail for some minutes before the coach started, and just as the driver was about to mount he suddenly fell (in a fit it is supposed) from the top to the pavement on his head. Fortunately, the fall was broken by his coming in contact with the shoulder of Dunlopp, otherwise he must have been killed. As it was, he was seriously injured, end bled very much. He remained insensible for some tune; but we are glad to hear that he was able to speak yesterday evening.-- Lcca/ Paper. RIVER PLATE.—By the arrival of the Caledonia at Liverpool we are put in possession of dates from Buenos Ayres to the 20th of July. There was no news of especial interest. Business was quiet. There were 109 vessels in port of which but 6 wore American. Freights were quoted at 10 dolls. per 2,0001 b. dry hides, and 6 dolls. for salted; Wool, 4i dolls, per foot. The highest price of doubloons during the week ending July 14 was 298; the lowest, 296 tO 296 k. INDIGO.—Since the departure of last mail the weather in Lower Bengal has been all that the indigo planter could desire. The drains have been light, and the only complaint has indeed been that there was too little rain. The growing plant required more, while in some places the manufacture of the ripe plant had been delayed by the unusual lowness of the rivers. With all this " luck ' the production has not hitherto benefitted to the extent anticipated. This is chiefly owing to a very general complaint, that the plant cuts badly, and does not yield its accustomed produce, even in Jessore, where the season throughout has been most favourable. The important district of Tirhoot has been again un fortunate. The rains were excessive, though in the first fortnight of July, and much injury was done in some parts. Manufacture has since been attended with indif ferent results, causing a general reduction of the estimate of the district to not over 19,000 tads. In the other northern districts, Bhaghulpore, the Bonares Zillahs, and Doab, the extreme drought bas done much and irreparable injury. The general estimato of the crop has scarcely been in creased, the reduced prospects of Tirhoot and the Upper districts counterbalancing some increase in Lower Ben gal, though with a plant of so much capability, and at the same time so precarious, as indigo, any estimate un til the next three weeks have elapsed must be consi dered very hazardous.

FRIGHTFUL STATE OF LAMBETH AND ST. GILES'S CHURCHYARDS. Last evening the usual weekly meeting of the Me tropolitan Society for the Abolition of Burials in Towns was held in the society's board-room, Bridge street, Blackfriars—G. A. Walker, Esq., in the chair. Mr. Thicke read the memorial to the Home Se cretary, prepared by the sub-committee, for the immediate abolition of burials in cities and towns, which was adopted, and signed by Mr. Walker, the president, on behalf of the society. Mr. Thicke read a letter from Mr. T. B. Lyeth, Plymouth, complaining of the horrid condition of the graveyards there, and praying the interposition of the society to have them closed. The writer stated that the 'graveyards were so overgorged that half-rotten bodies were upturned to make room for fresh ones, which comprised not only general sub jects, but those who died of malignant cholera. In one small churchyard 1,000 bodies had been buried in a year. Lately an under grave-digger, while pur suing his vocation, was seized with cholera, and died in a few hours. Mr. Thicke read another communi cation from Bristol, which stated tbat in one of its crowded churchyards a body of police were brought in to preserve the peace when a disturbance was antici pated. That one of them, while near a newly-opened grave, caught cholera and died in a few hours, and that the inspector and several other officers were seized with nausea, vomitings, &c. Upon the motion of Mr. HAMBER, the letters were referred to a special committee. The Rev. Mr. CRAIG said that he understood that St. John's churchyard, Clerkenwell, had been closed. The CHAIRMAN, in reply to a question from a member, said that Bunhill-fields had been opened during the plague, in 1665, and that since then it had realised one million pounds. The Rev. Mr. CRAIG said that a grave-digger in formed him that he could at any time bury in a cer tain grave in the graveyard where he had already interred twenty bodies. The CHAIRMAN said it was quite a systematic and rule-of. three affair—dig a hole, put them in, and take them out. Mr. THICRE said that be had just received a letter from Mr. J. R. Chidley, 4, Guildhall-chambers, Basioghall-street, which, with the permission of the meeting, he would read. The writer stated that as he crossed Islington Churchyard one morning lately he came close to a newly opened grave, the stench from whiC!) was so dreadful that he was quite over powered and got very ill. The grave was near the dispensary. Singe then he avoided the churchyard, hich Has a mass of human remains. Mr. Osamtr; sought an interview with the so ciety to expose the frightful state of Lambeth and St. Giles's churchyards. lie was accordingly ad . mated, and said that when cholera broke out 100 were buried in Lambeth churchyard the first week, 160 the second, and 200 the following week. The poor were buried at night. Some idea might be formed of the work done there from the fact that sometimes the gravediggers' fees were 2/ 173. a week. Bodies were brought to it from all quarters for 10 miles round. Those living near it were ill, and complained of nausea and vomiting ; the stench it emitted after rain was dreadful ; it was crammed with bodies, so much so that the medical officer and the shopkeepers near it declared it to be a dangerous nui,ance, and that it ought to be closed. At night the paupers were buried six, eight, and nine at a time. The general feeling in Lambeth was that it poisoned the air. In the churchyard of St. Giles in-the-Fields he saw three men excavating a pit 12 feet deep, 8 long, and about 5 feet wide. The sides of the pit presented an embrasure of skulls and bones protrud ing in all directions. At the bottom of the pit was a quantity of offensive water, as black as ink. That hole Has near the school-rooms. The whole ground 'was a compound of human-remains, equally offensive to the sight and the smell. The CHAIRMAN had no doubt that the malignant miasma emitted from the Lambeth churchyard, and wafted across the river to Millbank, was one of the causes of the dreadful mortality that prevailed there. The Rev. Mr. CRAIG wished to correct the false impression that was getting popular, that the society's efforts mere directed against the burial-grounds of Dissenters, and not against consecrated ground. Such an idea was completely erroneous.—(Hear.) The CHAIRMAN, to prove how fearfully his predic tions concerning the danger of the dead being buried amidst the living were verified, said that he became a kind of Old Mortality amongst the tombs, and visited the graveyards in Cork and Waterford. So frightful was their condition, that he cautioned those in power ) against them, and assured those who had the power to ) correct the evil, that if they did not do so, those "consecrated cesspool?' would prove so many hotbeds of disease. They neglected his wonting, and his predictions were fully and fearfully fulfilled. In like j manner he told the authorities in Hull that their I graveyards, unless closed, would be a frightful 1 cholera factory. Alas ! the desolation of that place was an awful evidence of the truth of what he had O months before the outbreak of cholera predicted. 2 Dr. Johnson, Dr. Evans, Mr. Tennant, Mr. Feltoe, O and other gentlemen, having urged the necessity of 3 the acciety not to relax in the efforts making to close O every churchyard and burial place near the habitations 0 of the living, it was moved and seconded that the 0 O secretary be authorised to write to the Lond on and O provincial press, thanking them for their past services 3 in the cause of humanity, and begging as a favour O that they would forward to the society all papers o containing articles or letters upon the subject of intra- O mural burials. o Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the I meeting adjourned. GOLDSMITHS' BENEVOLENT INsmortorr.--Last evening a special general meeting of the members of the above institution took place at the Freemasons' Tavern, for the purpose, among other business, o f electing six additional annuitants. J. W. Thomas, the presi. dent, occupied the chair. The report showed that the institution was established in 1833 for the purpose of relieving the distress of poor, aged, or infirm persons 01 good character, whether tradesmen, workmen, ch rks. shopmen, or other persona connect( d with any branches of Pie goldsmiths' and jewellery business; and also to relieve their widows. The amount of pension allowed to wales is 154 per annum, and to females tot., whethi r subscribers or non•subscribers; but us an eucourige merit to become subscribers half of the gross amount contributed will be annually added to the annuities of subscribers. The receipts of the past year, including a previous balance of 251/. Bs., amounted to 9604 le. fid.; and after the purchase of stock and defraying the ne cessary expenses there remained in the treasurer's hands 2441. 6s. 101., in addition to the funded capital of 3,900/. The produce of the last festival was about 2.50/., and the president, J. W. Thomas, Esq., had recently given s. donation of 100/. After disposing of the routine business, from a list of 10 candidates, four male and two female annuitants were elected in addition to the 37 now on the funds. The chairman , in a feeling address, con gratulated the successful, and expressed sympathy for the unsuccessful, concluding by presenting the latter with a donation of 10s. each. After the usual courtesies to the chair the meeting broke up.

MALTA, SEPT. 20.—0 n the 18th inst. arrived in a sinking state, the Sardinian brig Concordia, Castag liolo master, having on board 160 officers, non-com missioned officers, privates, and volunteers, composed of Hungarians, Poles, and Lombards and bound to the Yiresus and Constantinople. Before reaching she was kept afloat by stuffing straw into her leak, lashing sails under her bottom, and keeping both pumps going night and day. Her damage requiring her to be hove down, and the standing orders of the late governor absolutely prohibiting the landing of any refugees, the living cargo was transferred to pontoons; where, till the 20th, they were exposed to the sun and destructive September scirocoo by day and the heavy dew by night. On that day, on a petition to Colonel R. Jones, R.E., the officer administering the government, they were allowed to land on the Caradino mole, a boon gratefully accepted by them all; whilst to those suf fering from wounds, 18 or 20 in number, a lodging was offered, and gratefully accepted, in the lazaretto. Some 100 of those alluded to in my last have left Malta for Athens, by a Greek vessel. COURT CIRCULAR. BALMORAL, SErT. 23 The Queen and Prince, attended by the Marchioness of Douro, the Hon.

The shadow comes before the substance; The substance comes after the shadow. Paper money (to pay the wages of the labourer) is the shadow; Food, clothing, &c. (produced by the labourer in return for the paper money) is the substance. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Owing to those existing laws of England which enact that gold (exclusively almost) shall be a legal tender in discharge for all debts, our Govern ment may be compared to a supposed colony of human beings, who, dependent for sustenance upon the honey gathered from the wild flowers by the bees of the colony, robbed the bees of all the honey they had accumulated, and extirpated every flower to prevent them gathering future stores, whereby the doom of both bees and colonists would be manifestly sealed. The death of the bees would speedily ensue, and starvation of the colonists would become inevitable after the stock of honey was consumed. It would scarcely be thought possible that any human beings could so overlook the vital necessity of preserving and extending the flowers, that the bees might continue to gather honey for the future sustenance of the commonwealth of bees and men; yet, strange as it may appear, in this highly civilized and enlightened age, the Government of England act with even more purblindness, for though the whole fruits (quasi honey) of the labourers of this country are required for the sustenance of themselves and families, and to meet the expenses of the nation, yet the Legislature permit the continuance of a law which, when operative, withdraws from circulation the money (quasi flowers) by means of which labour is elicited, and food, clothing, &c. (honey) is produced; and notwithstanding that (and what evinces greater imbecility) the Government expects that the labourer (it has thus deprived of means) shall continue to maintain himself and family ; and demands besides that he shall, in such starvation state, furnish money forsooth (which he has no power physically or legally to make) to defray the national expenditure. If such folly and insanity be persevered in, the con dition of England and its labourers, it is self-evident would soon become like unto that of the bees and the colonists as prefigured. The labourer cultivates and manufactures food, clothing, &c.; thus he makes money's worth, but if he could (which he cannot), he is not allowed to make coined money. Hence it is imperative upon the Government to make sufficient legal tender paper money (based on and convertible into national pro • perty, food, clothing, &c.), so as to facilitate and maintain a ready and adequate legal tender mediam of exchange at all times for all commercial trans actions. The precious metals, fixed property, and merchan dise, are the fruits of labour capitalized ; hence it must be obvious that if there be not sufficient con vertible legal tender paper money based thereon, or con vertible thereinto by purchase at the necessity of the holder, free from any statutory contraction, and adequately maintained, the labourer cannot continue to be employed either adequately or profitably to himself, or to his employer ; consequently the honey in the national hive (i. e., capitalized labour) would decrease, and all commodities would fall in value, ex cept gold, which is protected at a standard price by Act of Parliament. War is not half so devastating as this bullion law, which bears with ruinous injustice on the labourer, throwing him out of employment, and at the same time reducing the value of his pre vious products, whilst gold, by the . present law, be comes appreciated. DEL TA. Liverpool, Sept. 15, 1649. CITY COMMISSIONERS OF SEWERS. Yesterday a court was held; Mr. Deputy Pea cock in the chair. Mr. Alderman and Sheriff FiNms presented a me morial, signed by a great number of mercantile men who transact business in Mincing-lane, complaining of a most intolerable stench which constantly astaile them through the vents in the immediate locality, and praying that the court would take immediate steps to remove so disgusting and injurious a nuisance.

Mr. Lew, one of the churchwardens, and several parishioners, stated that the church 3 and had been closed without the delay of more than one day after the issue of the notice of the Board of Health ; that the parish authorities had acted consistently with their duty, and that in the description which had been given of the ground, much exaggeration had been used. THE CHOLERA. Mr. Simon, the medical officer of health, then made his report to the court. He felt much pleasure in informing the court that the weekly returns of deaths within the City indicated a still further decline in the mortality from epidemic causes, and that the corrected total of deaths within the City during the last week was 117, sixty of which proceeded from cholera and diarrheas, viz , forty nine from the former, and eleven from the hettt r.

UNLUCKY ROGUES.—On Thuraay night the Queen's Head, Blackfriars-road, was broken into and a quantity of cigars, 5/. in silver, and 51. in farthings, were stolen.

Mrs. Burbige, the landlady, heard a noise in the night like the snapping of a lucifer ma ch, awoke her husband, but, atter li,tening attentively for some time, and hearing cooing more, the worthy Boni face thought his better half had been dreaming, and re turned to his slumbers. PROPOSED PALACE FOR THE QUEEN IN IRELAND.-- NIVe mentioned a few weeks ago that it was in contemp lation to erect fur her Majesty a marine residence on the Irish coast, at or near Killiney, about seven miles from the metropolis, and within a mile and a half of the har bour of Kingstown. We are now authorised to state that Mr. William Deane Butler, the eminent architect of Stephen's green, Dublin, is engaged in the preparation of plans and drawings of the proposed building, and that he will shortly arrive in London to submit them for the approbation of her Majesty.— Weekly Chronicle. A MAYOR SUMMONED BEFORE HIMSEIF.-011F neighbours of Worcester occasionally perpetrate some uncommon witty things. On Monday they summoned their mayor (Mr. Padmore) to appear before himself to show cause why he should not pay his share of church rates for his parish; and at the same time his partner in business, Mr. Hardy, the Radical candidate for Wor cester at the last election, was summoned. }either party obeyed the summons, having " conscientious scruples" against the rate, which they were, malgrel their dignity, ordered to pay forthwith. In default diatressei will be issued.—Gloucester Chronicle. 1 - We are nearer to true virtue and true happiness when we demand too little from men than when - we exact too much.—. Eliza Cook's Journal. _ _ --- - ANOTEIER DOG ANECDOTE.—A. correspondent of the Liverpool Chronicle says:—" It may perhaps be un known to many of our readers that a dog of the terrier species has for the last three years been a regular at tendant at the Albert-dock. How he first came there, or the precise time, is a mystery; however, his peculiari ties were numerous. He attended each morning, without intermission, at the gates, and entered with the men; he visited the several landing-waiters twice a day, as surely us the surveyor, and was as constantly upon the quays as the chief superintendent himself. He would sit for hours watching the delivery of goods, and killing, as each tier was removed, the rats which might have there sought an asylum. In fact, so numerous was the quantity of vermin destroyed by him, that Mr. Cowssa had, during the last month, ordered a weekly allowance to be in future paid towards his support. his eccentri cities were almost incredible: he would hold the chain at the various bridges to prevent persons going over until the closing of the gates, and would perfeim sundry antics daily for the amusement of the duck apprentices. He usually spent his Sundays in Cheshire, but was never known to miss the early boat on Monday morning. But be is now no more, having been found dyad in the deck on Wednesday morning, into which it is supposed he had leapt iu the pursuit or a rat, and being unnoticed had bteu unable to extricate himself. We believe we are stating the truth wlitn we nay that there is not an individual engaged about the docks who does not mourn him as a deli ‘rte4 friend."
