'THE OVERLAND MAIL INDIA. We have received our despatches in anticipation of the Overland Mail. They incude advices from Calcutta, July 19 ' • Bombay, July 30 ; Can ton , • July 8 ; an d H ong Kong, July 10. The following is the summary of the fortnight's news given by the Bombay Times:— Apprehensions of a scanty monsoon are begin ning to be entertained at the Presidency, little rain having fallen during the past three weeks—in the interior the season promi ses t o b e ausp i c i ous . This state of matters appears to prevail along these s . board only ; throu g h ou t th e i n t er i or o f India, 0 _ far as we know, th e season prom i ses t o b e eminently auspicious. The t ranqu illit y o f thi s period of th • year has been sadly di s t ur b e d by a savage descent • on the low co un t r y o f moun t a i neers close rr by on the city of Rajhm a h a l. Thi s , w ith the territory th province of ad joining, on ce b e l onge d t o th e ancient Bengal. The city stands on the gout -west bank of the Ganges, ab ou t 70 m iles fromMoorshedabad, and 200 to the northward of Calcutta. Since it ceased to be the seat of government, and British courts of justice have been removed from it, it has lost much of its former greatness, but is sill sup. posed to number between 20,000 and 30,000 inha bitants. Adjoining this is a vast mass of mountain land, occupied by one of those numerous hill tribes till of late years hardly known to us, with w hi c h the wilds of India abound, which own no govern ment, and which the hand of civilisation has not touched. They are said not the less to be quiet, docile, truthful, honest, and industrious, and to be easily managed by those who have lived on their borders. For some time past a boy -god has been worshipped amongst them as an incarnation of the Divinity, and by him an intimation bad of late been issued that he was to become King, and they to rule supreme over the ancient dominions of Rajmahal. It is said that the immediate cause of the outburst was some quarrel between the moun taineers and the railway people, but this appears uncertain, as, according to other accounts, it ap pears to have originated in something about re venue or about women. The discrepancies in all the accounts show that we possess in reality no authentic information on the subject. The move ments of the people are said to have been generally current, and to have been bruited abroad amongst the authorities some days before, but as they did not appear in official form no notice of them was taken. On the 9th of July a party of 3,000 burst on Raj mahal, determined to take the life of every Euro pean and native of influence in the district. Nine or ten thousand more were said to be in reserve should the first party succeed. Seventeen of the police were murdered at once, and the principal houses taken possession of or destroyed. A body of them were said to have advanced in the direc tion of Moorshedabad. Two ladies, Mrs. Thomas and Miss Pell, on their way from Suthapahar to 13augumpoor, were taken from their palankeens, and savagely butchered. The Calcutta papers last received state that the insurgent force had swe ll e d out to nearly-20,000, and that the country was in universal panic. They were threatening Beerb hoom, had sacked and burned the town of Pickour, where the Princess, who had ref use d t o l ower t h e rents, resided, and were spreading devastation, pillage, and murder wherever they went—the people fleeing the country far and near. A detachment of 800 men had been sent out on the 12th under Capt. Birch from the nearest station, and were advancing rapidly on the enemy. A couple of guns started on the 16th from Dum Dum for Berhampore, which they would not reach before the 24th, and on the same day the 56th Native Infantry left Calcutta, by railway, the 31st being under orders to proceed from the same quarter by steam to Berhampore. There has been a seri ous disturbance in Rajmahal, the district adjacent to which has been overwhelmed by the sudden descent of several thousand mountaineers in the vicinity, determined to take the life of every European and native of influence —several of the police and two ladies were murdered, and other ex cesses have been committed. Troops have been sent to quell the disturbance, which is not likely to be put down without considerable bloodshed. The Thibetians are said to be suing Nepaul for peace, and there is to be a- conference of some of the Hill chieftains to arrange the terms of a treaty. The parliamentary papers in reference to the Five per Cent. Public Works Loan have been published in Bombay, and seem to be eminently unsatisfac factory. The subscriptions to the Patriotic Fund in India amount to close upon 80,0001. Bombay is at length to obtain a public museum, and it is to be hoped zoological gardens as well. Much asto nishment has been felt at the refusal of the General .itsemb'y of the Church of. Scotland to accept the grants in aid of their Indian missions contemi plated by the late.education despatch.. The Governors of Madras and Bombay have been in vited to meet the Governor-General at the Neil gherries in October, immediately after which it is rumoured that Lord Dalhousie proposes returning to England to join the cabinet. There is no truth in the reports appearing in the home papers, and fabricated i n B om b ay, t h at an army of 15,000 men was about to proceed with twenty armed steamers and gun-boats to Persia from Bombay. The latest accounts from Persia state that the Shah was most friendly to us. The Rev. R. Nesbit, of the Free Church of Scotland's mission in Bombay, after a ireful career of twenty-eight years, fell a victim td cholera on Friday last ; he had only been ill for eleven hours, and up to five o'clock the previous evening.had been occupied in 'his usual missionary duties. Trade is dull ; freights are low ; the money market is easy. INSURRECTION OF THE SANTALS. (Front the Calcta Elisman.) • We have at last a little ut news of h ow our n. While the British nation is carrying on a great war in the Baltic and the Black Sea, the East India Com pany's Lieut.-Governor of Bengal has got up a little war of hi s own i n th e R a j mahal hills. These hills overhang the Ganges in their northern extrt inity, but till very lately were unexplored by Europeans. There are two distinct tribes, the Hill men, and a wandering race called Santals. These last were permitted by the British anthorities to . occupy the valleys, and as the immigration became considerable, Government placed an officer in charge of the district in 1838, when the population was about 3,000. In 1852 it had increased to about eighty thousand, and till within the last few weeks, a more orderly and contented set of people was no; to be found in Bengal. All at once they have taken' arms, vowing destruction to their neighbours, and descending into the neighbouring country—at first it was said with 5,000 men, which report has since swelled to fen - , fifteen, and lastly to 80,000—stating that the insurrection has ex tended to Soore, and even to Raneegunge, 'about a hundred miles from the place where it broke out. It is too soon to speculate on the causes 'of this • outbreak ; various reasons are assigned, as Will be seen from the following letters. The most probable is, that discontent has prevailed among them for some time, on account of increased taxation, and that some real or imaginary wrong has sufficed to rouse to arms people already discontented. The following reports of the Santa! insurrection are from various correspondents : The Santals or Hill tribes of Rajmahal are up in arms to upset the Company's sway. They allege a divine re velation for their attempt, and their first step was to call on the hill darogab to furnish supplies, and, on his re- Pisa! to do so, they deliberately s e i ze d an d mur d ere d , him. This I bad from an eye-witness, who also saw the bodies of others who bad been murdered. A letter from the neighbourhood of Rajmahal, dated 11th inst., gives the following account of the riots : From what I now bear of the rising of the Santals, it seems that Pontet has been grinding them for Govern ment rent, and that is the primary cause of the row. I bear that they called on the Santals in the surrounding zemindaries to join them, but they refused, saying they bad no grievances. This shows plain enough the difference between the system adopted by the Government and that by private parties in collecting the laud revenue. There are also reports of their having found a book in which it is written that they are to set up a king, and conquer the whole of the country. They wrote tq the darogah to inform Government that they wanted to fight them , and to send ou t th eir troops as soon as they liked. arogah bearing of the ass em bl age ,. went out with. his th annah to see what 6 they were up to. At some dis tance from where they had, met, the darogab gets on his palkee, and walks up to them. They asked him what be wanted. Be said he had come to see what they were up to. Oh no, sa i d they,.you have come to bind and carry us off, and theY immediately cut him and his people down, took off their beads, Md making a pile of th em , made a pnojah to They have a Mahajun (or rather bad) who possessed two horses, a white one and a black.

They said, you will not obey the Rieg, and'cut him down, adding his head to ,the They wh have, I believe, "looted" some vill ages, and the ole mooik is in a fright.

The former will be " looted'," to-day or' to-morrow by the other party, reported to' be going south along the Lank of the river, with the inten tion of visiting the Hon. Mr. Eden at Aurungabad.

The Bbagul. pore magistrate has arrived at Rajmahal, and I fancy that the Hill Rangers must be with him. Ganges rising a foot a day and more, and weather turned rainy ' and squally, so that you may be sure there is not much time for letter writing. Various accounts are given of the origin of the rising, but it behoves the Government to institute the strictest inquiry into the matter, and it is feared that some of the people on the railway will be found mixed up with it, by having carried off and refused to restore a Santa! lady. Certainly some strong insult or injury must have provoked these reclaimers of the waste land, for they are not predatory hill tribes, but peaceful cultivators, who are accomplishing what the savageness of the " pa harias" and the inertness and want of energy of the Ben gali have not attempted. By the latest accounts one or two stations on the line • of railway where the engineers had tried to make a stand bad been forced, and the few Europeans on the line had assembled at Kadunsha, deep among the hills. Troops should be sent from Barrackpore by rail to Burdwan, whence two days' forced marching would enable them to reach any point of the Beerbhoom district which may be threatened ; and the only chance of quickly putting an end to the disturbance will be the rapid concentra tion of troops from Dinapore, &c, by water on Rajma hal and Sikree gully, and from Barrackpore by rail or by steamer, or both, to Beerbhoom and Jungypore. Triers are evidently two, if not more, large parties of in surgents, and the l owest reports make each consist of nearly 10,000 men. As to the origin of the tumult nothing is yet certain. The railway people one and all affirm most solemnly that the Santals have have had nothing but kind treat ment at their hands, and 'that they are innocent. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, JULY 17. The steamer with l e tt ers from London CALCUTTA, of the 9th of June is only just in the river, and letters from Bombay just to hand have not had time to produce an effect ; business meanwhile is at a stand, the telegraphic ad vices having been merely political. Our produce market has not generally shown much activity during the past fortnight. Business has been principally in sugar, rice, seeds, and latterly saltpetre has received rather more attention. The Government sale of opium, held on the 9th inst., resulted very favourably as compared with previous sale~. The increased price obtained, notwithstanding the un:avourable accounts just previously received from China, is to be attributed to reports very prevalent that there will be a very considerable decrease in the quan tity to be brought forward next year. Our money market remains without the slightest im provement. In exchange the operations for this mail have been very tr fling indeed. At present last mail's quotations can only be repeated, say 2-1. to I for first class credits, and I to - above for document bills, six months' sight, with no demand, and sale difficult' to effect. • MILTTARY INTELLIGENCE.

MASSACRE OF TEN THOUSAND INSURGENTS. The Pekin Gazette reports that the insurgents are losing., ground in the north 'of China. The Overland Prien,d of China says " The amount of bloodshed at Canton during the last month has been sickening. When Shaou-king, the second city of the province, was vacated without fight ing, a short time ago, a number of the inhabitants thought mercy would be shown to them if they gave themselves up. With equal reason might forbearance have been expected from the hungry Wolf—they were taken to Can- ton in droves of five hundred ; as many as ten thousand, it is said, being confined in the city at one time. Kept without food for several days, when the hour of exami nation, so called, arrived, eye witnesses tell of the utmost callousness being exhibited, the condemned get ting into the execution basket with even apparent satis faction. "At the rate of seven and eight hundred a day for Some time, the whole ten thousand, and thousands more, were soon got rid of. Several were skinned alive, and one higher criminal than be rest was cut in twenty-four piecea—lingering dying. From the careless way in which the bodies are interred in heaps at eastward of the city, and the disgusting stench in the vicinity of the execution groiind, it will not surprise us to hear of a plague czrry lug off its victims by thousands.' ' "But with all these executions 'and their probable terrible. consequences, there is no abatement of the rebellion—there is no instance of any of the leaders giving up the cause, for promised rewards ; in no case have the insurgents retired before, through want of food and ammunition, all reasonable prospect of success ful opposition had apparently gone. From Sbaou king-foo they marched north-west, with Hoe Alukh's band in company, forty thousand strong." - The Hong-Kong Government Gazette publishes in its first number a notification against trafficking in female children. The Overland Friend protests against this inter vention, and says : " Cuba, like other places to which Chinese emigrate, wants female companions for its male bondsmen. The 40 females in the present case, left their families willingly, Money being given to them in the presence of the Portu guese consul as for the customary marriage fees. There was nothing like kidnapping about it ; and the thing worked well till British consular precincts were reached at Amoy, when her Britannic Majesty's acting consul must needs regard the proceedings as criminal, fine the captain 100/., and set the females at liberty." A numerous body r f British merchants at Shann.- hae have memorialised the consuls of the three treaty powers, requesting their assistance to effect an assimilation of the currency' of the port to that now in use at Canton, and pointing out next China New Year as the fitting time for bringing the pro posed measure into operation. The consuls express the greatest willingness to co-operate in the matter. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. From the Circular of the Caiiton Chamber of Commerce we learn that several more chops of last season's congou and other teas have arrived ; the congous (Oonams) considerably injured by their rong detention in transit. "No teas, the growth of the present season, have arrived as yet," says the secretary, "and it would now appear to be ex tremely doubtful if we shall receive any at all."

' Deceased 1 Fear.': „ . . „ BOMBAY, July 29. Our money market during the fortnight has become easier, and the banks have reduced their rates of inte rest 1 per oent., with a prospect of a further fall soon. Transactions in Government and other securities have been limited, and prices generally have given way. Previous to the arrival of the mail the demand for goods noticed in our last report continued active, and transactions to a co isiderable extent were negotiated ; the home tidings, however, of the falling off both in cot ton and piece goods caused a great change in our mar kets, and offers, at very much lower figures, began to be made by the dealers, which, although at first refused, were eventually accepted, and the sales have been ex tensive, but almost on every description of goods at lower rates than last quoted. GREY DIADAHOLLAMS AND GREY T CLOTHS have been largely purchased at advanced prices. GREY LONG CLOTHS have improved in value. GREY SHIRTINGS—SaIes have taken place at reduced prices. GREY JACCONETS—Stocks are low. There is no de mand for the lowest quality. BLEACHED GOODS are not in such active demand as grey, and no material change has taken place in them. COLOURED GOODS—Although several transactions have been effected in various descriptions of these goods, still they have not improved in demand, and only fetch low prices. _ _ _ Yarns fetch full prices, and are in great demand. Freights have declined to 3/. 2s. 6d. to 3/. ss. to Li verpool, and 3/. ss. to 3/. 10s. to London, with every prospect of a still further reduction, owing to the recent arrival of several ships, and the short supply of produce fur shipment. Nothing is doing with China. Exchange on England during the fortnight has ruled considerably lower than reported in our last, and the business done may be quoted as follows :-2e. 11d, to 2s. 10. for China and first-class credits, and 2s. I:4d. to 23. lid. for documents. On Calcutta we quote Its. 101% at sight, and Rs. 1001 at 60 days' sight. On Madras Rs. 1001 at 39 days' sight, and on China HS. 224 at 60 days' bight.

SPORTING INTELIdGgNa& MANSION-HOUSE. James Hennessy and Eliza Hennessy, his wife, were brought before the Lord Mayor for filial examination, upon the charge of having neglect. ed and starved their child, Peter liennes,,y, an infant, between two and three years of age. D. Carter (82) said—At ten o'clock on Wednesday morning, the 22d inst., I went to a room at No. 1, Mon tague-court, Bishopsgate-street, and saw the male priso ner and a little child. There was scarcely any furniture and there was no food there. The child had scarcely any clothing on, and its head and face were covered all over with sores. I asked the man how it was that the child had been without food. He said the mother got drunk and neglected it, and sold the furniture and spent the money. Patrick M‘Donald, a witness in the case, told me in the presence of both prisoners that they both got drunk and neglected the child. The man did not make any reply. I took him into custody, and I took the child to Mr. Fowler, a surgeon of the parish. Patrick M`Donald said—l live in the house No. 1, Montague -court. On Tuesday, upon coming up at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, I heard screams, and went up stairs to the room occupied by the prisoners. In the middle of the floor the child was lying, leaning on its hands, crying, on the bare boards. There was neither food nor furniture in the room. The man is a tailor. I put the child on a bed of straw, and when they found I had done so, they locked the child up until they came back again, about ten o'clock at night. I have kept my eye on them ever since Good Friday. The Lord Mayor—What induced you to keep your eye on them ?

Marty, in consequence of having dislocated his "shoul der in his struggles with the police, was not placed at the bar, but was sent to tho hospital to have the disloca tion reduced. He, however, returned shortly afterwards. Police-constable 89 P, after describing the affray, said that when coming up to the court this morning the pri soners attempted au escape. They both exhibited the greatest violence, and are known thieves, and the con stant associates of the wore characters about the New cut. The constable added that these gangs were a per fect terror, and almost rendered the Waterloo-road use less to respectable people at night, as no person could possibly pass without being annoyed and molested by them. Witness—l knew that they bad behaved ill to a child before. I again saw the child about 7 or 8 o'clock on Wednesday morning. It was naked and alone, and tbere was no food in the room. I gave information to the police, and the male prisoner returned home at 10 o'clock. I did not see the wife. He works at home usually as a tailor, and she goes out to sell what he makes. They were tenants of mine at 2s. a week, and took the room about two mouths ago. I don't know that a day has passed that the woman has not been drunk since they have lodged at my house. The male prisoner has been very frequently drunk too. Through her getting drunk he used to, get drunk. My wife has twice washed the child to keep it clean. Ahcut three weeks ago I went into the room at 8 o'clock in the even ing, and looked all round, without seeing the child. At last, I saw the child in the middle of the room, lying on its face and hands, with an old coat over it. The pri soners did not come home till 12 o'clock, and then they were both druuk. This sort of conduct continued every day till they were in custody. The man is a bard work ing man, early and late, wh en sober, and, in my opini on , they could get an excell en t living but for their drunken new.

On Tuesday I heard the child crying, and Mr. M‘Donald asked me to go up stairs to see it. The child was lying naked on straw on the floor, and the straws were stick ing in the sores on its body. It was too weak to get up. I asked the male prisoner on Tuesday, at ten o'clock, " Dear me, has the child had anything to eat to-day ?" " No," he replied, "it hadn't anything since yesterday." I have often seen the two prisoners drunk, and they generally came home in that condition at twelve or one in the morning. Mr. Robert Fowler, of 145, Bisbopsgate-street, sur geon, said—On the 22d August the officer brought to me a little boy, about two years and a half old. The child was exceedingly dirty, ar.d almost the whole of the body was covered with an eruption, in the nature of a skin disease, from the neglected state of the child, which had affected the system. The eruption itself derives its name from that condition of the system, and would be super induced by improper food, or want of proper food, and neglect of cleanliness. The eyes of the child were also inflamed, which also might be accounted for by the state of the system. Some of the sores were open or raw sores, and some were scabbed over. The pulse was ex ceedingly feeble, and the whole frame indicated that the child bad not bad sufficient food. The body, but more especially the limb., were emaciated, and that indicated insufficient nourishment. I think that internal disease of the glands of the intestines had commenced, a di sease which would also be favoured by want of food and ❑eglect. 7 5 7 5 7 4 7 4 7 4 Gross-examined by the male prisoner —I believe the condition of the child was caused by want of food. Mary Gunn, widow---I reside at No. 8, in Montague court. I have seen the prisoner about six or seven weeks. I never saw the child alluded to till this day week, when I went into the room at 10 o'clock in the morning. Both prisoners were out at the time. A little boy about 10 years old was in the room. . I saw the child per fectly naked lying on some straw in the corner. A dirty sort of rag was thrown over it. The child said it had nothing to eat, and I went and got some bread and butter for it. The child took the bread and butter in its hand, but it did not move nor put its hand to itv mouth. I lifted the head, but the head fell on one side, evidently from weakness. I never saw a child so dirty in my life. I could not stand the sight, and I went to the bottom of the court and gave information to the police. I have only seen the prisoners five or six times. The father came into the house as I went out, but I did not speak to him. The Lord Mayor asked, according to the usual form, whether the prisoners wished to say anything in answer to the very serious charge brought against them ? The male Drisou er alwq.vs work very bard. and I always iound plenty of food for the child. 'rile child was in the habit of laying its head on my knee when I have been at work. The female prisoner said—l had been out all day from twelve o'clock till eight in the evening, and r always leave somebody with the child. The two prisoners were then committed for trial at the Central Criminal Court. The Policeman—My lord, I have seen the child this morning. It is clean, and looks much better and stronger.

GUILDHALL.—Joseph Brett was charged, before Sir R. Carden, with stealing six silver dessert spoors, one table-spoon, one pair of sugar-tongs, and twelve plated teaspoons, the property of Mr. Joseph Fisher, his master, under the following circumstances : From information given to the police, the officers Bull and Packman went to Mr. Fisher's premises, in No. 3, Cripplegate-buildings, last night, and, with the foreman, obtained a ladder and entered at the first-floor window. They searched seven rooms, but found nothing to excite tbeir suspicions. They then went to the second floor, forced open a bed-room door, and there they found the prisoner standing by the side of the bed. He said, in answer to the officer, that he was locked in by mistake, but Packman said, that could not he, fur there was the key of the door lying on the bed near the prisoner. He made no reply. Packman then searched the bed, and found the articles above named between the bed clothes. The prisoner said he got' them from the dining-room down stairs. He also said that he was not locked in, but concealed himself in the lower part of the house. Packman had been to the premises and examined the lock of the safe in the count ing house. The wards were broken, and the marks on the safe corresponded with a pair of pincers found on the flocr near the safe, The pincers belong to the premises. The prisoner was committed for trial. MARLBOROUGH -STREET.—John Creesy, an old man whose clothes were much the worse for wear, was charged befor e M r . Bi ng h am w i th begging of several gentlmen in Piccadilly. Police-constable 131 C said, last night he was od duty in Piccadilly, when his attention was called to the pri soner, who was annoying several ladies and gentlemen by demanding alms. Knowing the defendant to be a member of the begging fraternity, he took hi:n into custody. The prisoner indignantly denied the charge of begging, and said, although his wardrobe was in a very dilapidated condition, he could assure his worship that he was a re spectable translator of languages, and no common beggar. The fact was he vas a victim to personal appearances. He had also an inc )me derived from reading the burial service once a week ; that was a matter of reciprocity. Therefore, was it likely, w i t h suc h excellent advantages, he should take to the low calling of a cadger? Mr. Bingham said, from his personal knowledge of the prisoner from his visits to this court, he (Mr. B ) was convinced that he (defendant) was begging ; and as, in spite of all that had been said to the contrary, he still persisted in begging, he (Mr. B.) should commit him to the house of correction for seven days. Prisoner—Oh, your worship, it's all owing to my per sonal appearance. CLE RICENWELL.—Theresa Edmonds, but whose real name is Gregg, an actress, was placed at the bar before Mr. Tyrwhitt, charged with feloniously stabbing William Edmonds. Police•comtable Billinghurst, 44 S, produced the fol lowing certificate : " William Edmonds is not quite so well this morning, but generally may be considered as progressing favourably. A professional gentleman, who attended for the pri soner, produced a letter, signed by the injured man, in which he stated that it was quite an accident ; that it occurred through his own passion, while the prisoner was cutting some bread; and that when he recovered he did not intend to appear to prosecute any charge. The prisoner, who was a most mild inoffensive person, had an aged mother and a child to support, and he therefore trusted that bail would be taken. Mr. Tyrwhitt said that it was a proper case for bail, and he thought that two sureties in the sum of 401. would be sufficient. The prisoner was then removed. The court was crowded with members of the theatrical profession. DERBY RACES—TUESDAY. 'be Maiden Plate of 30 sovs, added to a sweepstakes of 5 sovs eacii ; for 3 -yr-olds and up wards. One mile.

At the former examination a young man named John Gallagban stated that he had being paying his addresses to the prisoner, who resided with her mother, but ever since the commencement of their acquaintance she had exhibited an extreme degree of mental depression. On the evening of Tuesday se'nni g ht h e i nduced her to ac company beforehmta private concert, on leaving which, shortly o'clock, he was about to see her home, but she declared her intention never to return. After traversing innumerable streets without any apparent ob ject, she suddenly wished him " good night," and darted away in the direction of the railway arches. She sue ceeded for some time in eluding his pursuit, but he at length found her sitting upon the step of a door, with her head drooping forward over her chest, and on raising her up he discovered that she had twisted the strings of her bonnet so tightly round her throat that she was on the point of strangulation, and totally insensible.

Mr. Churchward, Mr. Jenkins, and Mr. Stillwell ap peared for the Royal Mail Steam-packet Company ; Mr. Milhado for the owners of the Henry ; and Mr. Irons for the Marine Department of the Board of Trade. The additional witnesses examined were James Pit tock, mate ; John Compono, second mate ; John Wat son, Captain : William Kidham and Thomas May, look outmen, all of the Vivid ; and John Godden, a water side labourer. As before, the chief point sought to be elucidated was the presence, or otherwise, of a light in the rigging of the Henry at the time of the collision. All the witnesses above-named, connected with the Vivid, deposed that they did not see any light exh►bited, and that if there had been one they must have seen it. On the other hand, Godden, who was stationed that night on the Dover pierhead up to half-past 11 o'clock to look out fora collier which was expectdd, deposed that about 9 o'clock that evening he distinctly saw a schooner bring up in Dover roads. She had two masts, hoisted a bright light somewhere in her fore rigging. He observed the light from time to time up to half-past 11, when he quitted the pier. The light was then burning, and as he left he saw a steamer (the Vivid) leaving the harbour. The coroner, in summing up, said the jury would say whether the unfortunate occurrence resulted from acci dent, or whether it arose from a want of proper and rea sonable care on the part of those who bad the charge of the Vivid. If they should be of the latter opinion, that finding would amount to a charge of criminal neglect, and they would return their verdict accordingly. The court was cleared, and the jury were in consulta tion for a❑ hour and half. The foreman then announced that they had unanimously agreed to a verdict of man slaughter against John Watson, the captain of the Vivid, and Wm. Kidhatn and Thomas May, the look-out men. The coroner said he would issue the committals in the ordinary course. (The defendants had previously re tired). With reference to the speed of the Dover and Calais packet, it was stated that the rate specified in the Post. office contract Was 13 kni,t.; an hour. WIND AND WEATHER REPORT. WEDNESDAY, August 29.

Where none of the above -mentioned are to be found, the guardians and overseers of the poor, and the aurveyors of the highways in and for the place. "In the metropolis the vestries and district boards t) he elected under the Metropolis Local Management Act will, on and after the Ist of January, 1856, be the authority to whom notice and complaints must be ad dressed. "The local authorities are bound to appoint or join with other local authorities in appointing a sanitary in spector, and they have power of entry into the premises .on which the alleged nuisance is situated for themselves or theirofficers, and, on being satisfied that the complaint is well founded, are hound to bring it before a justice, on whose summons the person causing the nuisance, or, if he cannot be found or ascertained, the owner or occu pier of the premises where it exists, will be summoned before two justices, by whom the complaint will be inquired into, and an order made. Even if the par ticular nuisance complained of have been removed before proceedings are taken, the local anthority, if they have reasons for believing that it is likely to re cur, may summon the offender, and the justices may in such a case make an order, not for abatement, but for prohibition, or they may combine an order for abate ment with an order for prohibition, and direct the works necessary to prevent a recurrence of the cause of com plaint. The order of the justices may extend to struc tural works, but in that case the act gives an appeal, as it does against any order of prohibition. "The duty and cost of removing the nuisance are thrown in the first place on the person causing it, and, if he cannot be found, on the owner or occupier in the next place, according as the nuisance is one caused by act or default of one or the other. "It is obvious that there are nuisances which no at tention on an occupier's part can prevent, if an owner have not provided certain appliances ; and, on the other hand, nuisances for the prevention of which the utmost care or forethought of an owner is unavailing if the occupier be careless or perverse. When neither the person causing the nuisance, the owner, nor the occupier can be got at, the duty of removing the nuisances devolves on the local authorities, and the cost must be defrayed out of the funds adminis tered to them. Any person not obeying an order for abatement of a nuisance is liable to a penalty of not more than 10s. per day during his default; and any person knowingly and willingly acting contrary to the order of prohibition is liable to a penalty of not more than 20s. per day during such contrary action ; and the local authorities may themselves remove or abate the nuisance, and charge the cost to the person on whom the order has been made. "Meat, vegetables, flour, &c., exposed for sale, or in their way to or in th e course o f b e i ng slaughtered, dressed, or prepared for sale or use, or landed from any ship, may be examined by the sanitary inspector, and if they appear to him unfit for human food may be seized and brought before a justice, who may make order therein. " The local authorities may direct complaint to be made before justices of nuisances arising from noxious trades or manufactures, and of any house which is so overcrowded by inhabitants consisting of more than one family as to be dangerous or prejudicial to their health. " The local authorities may lay down and keep in re pair a sewer or other structure along the course of any ditch, gutter, drain, or watercourse used or partly used for the conveyance of sewage, and may assess parties using the ditch as a means of sewerage to the expense, either in one sum or by instalments, or an annual payment. " All persons allowing gas washing to flow into any place for water are rendered liable to heavy penalties. The local authority may direct any proceeding at law or in equity in cases coming within the powers of this act. " The general board would strongly urge on the clergy, employers of labour, and others whose avoca tions bring them into contact with the classes of the po pulation most exposed to suffer from the nuisances to which this act refers, the duty of informing themselves and diffusing information as to the provisions of the act, and of doing all they can to promote the election of com mittees for its execution, especially in rural parishes." 'Upon the whole the weather during the past week has been very favourable for harvest operations, although a marked change from the magnificent weather of the pre ceding seven or eight days has been experienced. The accounts that reach us—and, in addition, our own ser vey this week has embraced a tolerably wide sweep in this southern district—confirm the opinion expressed in our last, namely, that the wheats are, as a rule, more or ices affected by blight and mould. At the same time there would seem to be so large a crop on the ground that the fallkg-off occasioned by these causes will probably be compensated by the general breadth grovn, and thus serve to make up a fair average. A greet breadth of corn has been carted during the week, and a vast deal more cut. In this respect our farmers have evinced more than usual alacrity, and as this spirit has been seconded by extremely favourable weather, im melse progress has been made. 13eans, peas--especially the latter—barley, and oats, all promise well.—Sussex Ad•ertiser. tIR.
