STAMPED SD• TH OVERLAND MAIL. We hive received our despatches from India and China by the overland mail. The dates of these advices are those given on Friday in The Sun. 1 COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. AY, Au. 28. The 26th J u ly ma il, per Peninsular an ms d Orienta g l 00131* pany's steamer Cadiz, reached this on the morning of the 21st twit. Ourraoney market during the fortnight has been easier, and the hanks have lowered their rates of interest 1 per cent. The 4 and 5 per cent, paper has fallen considerably in value. INDIA. Cocoa nut-day, which marks the opening of our ac tive season, occurred on Monday last, but we regret to say that the state of the market is not at all calculated to furnish enconragement for a long time to shippers of cotton manufactures. Since our last there has been no rain beyond a few occasional showers, and as the total fall of the season has been about a third less than the usual average, serious apprehensions are entertained of a deficient harvest, and in consequence of a great rise in the price of grain. These prospects have already ope rated unfavourably on the piece goods market, the de mand for every description having been materially checked, and a few or no sales have transpired since the date of last report. Prices must be considered nominal, and if sales were forced a further reduction is inevitable • of 2 to 3 ans. per piece in grey shirtings and long cloths, and 1 to 2 ans. per piece in grey madapollams, T cloths, printers, and jacconets. Grey domestics and yarns are firm at previous rates. The business transacted in cot ton piece' goods is so insignificant that it is unnecessary to particularise. Cotton Wool-The market 'has been very languid since our last, with very little inquiry for the home roys- • ket, and prices are slightly easier. Broach and Surat we qscrte at re. j 94 to. rs. 95; Dollera, re. 98 tort. 99 ; • . OoTerawuttee, rs. 86 to rs. 88 per candy, VW - the Via; - lity of what is offering very inferior. For China there has been more activity evinced among shippers to that quarter, and which has assisted in giving support to the market. A few native boats from the northward have arrived from Broach and Catch, which shows the mode rate state of the weather ; but supplies as yet have no effect upon prices. Rates of freight have been very steady, and to Great . Britain 3/. to 3/. ss. per ton is the current quotation ; and at the former rate two or three vessels have been let to arrive. For China nominally rs. 9i per candy, which is a decline of re. 3 in the last week. Exchange on England during the fortnight has ruled slightly higher, and the business done towards the close may be quoted 2s. 11d. to 2s. ld. 5-16ths for China and first-class credits, and 2s. 11d. to 2s. ld. 7.l6ths for documents. On Calcutta we quote re. 102 at sight, and rs. 1024 at 60 days' sight; on Madras, ra. 100 i at 30 days' sight ; and on China, ra. 220 at 60 days' sight. CALCUTTA, AUG. 21. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Oriental, with London dates of the 9th July last, arrived on the 17th, but we have no material change to report in the state of our produce market. The demand for oil seeds and saltpetre continues in the same large scale, and latterly there has been more doing in raw silk than for some time past. Our anticipations regarding the import trade have not been realised for various reasons, and we are unable, therefore, to report on this head as favourably as we thought a month ago we could. The accounts daily arriving from up-country are very fair, and upon the whole satisfactory enough ; but owing to the tightness of money, large imports, and anxious dis position of holders of goods, all improvement may re main in abeyance for a time. If nothing will damage this branch of our trade, the tightness of money will, and may do it extensively. There has been a slight im provement on some, and reductions in others. The business done, however, is not small, and will continue so until the approach of the Dassera or Doorga Poojah holidays, when an improvement both in value and ex tent will take place. Grey goods, and some sort of prints, are in fair request, but bleached are in the same neglected state as reported by us last time. There has been a considerable improvement in Straits tin, and sales at 40 rs. a maund have taken place, Stock in first hands being entirely absorbed. In spelter, speculation as be- • fore continues, and rat e s remain unaltered. We are sorry to report that the aspect of our money market is looking very gloomy. The Bank of Bengal have again raised their rates to one per cent. on the 16th instant, and may increase another per cent. in the course of a short time. Exchange has continued steady, *six months' sight Ist class credits being negotiated at 2s. Lid. for the outgoing mail steamer. In China bills against opium shipment very little will done, shipments contemplated being so very small and slowly progressing. Freights have gone down considerably in consequence of large arrivals simultaneously and high prices of pro duce and scarcity of some articles. Current rates to London are-Sugar, 3/. to 31. 2s. 6d. ; saltpetre, 2/. 17s. 6d. to 3/. ; rice, 3/. 7s. 6d. to 3/. 10s. ; linseed or rape seed, 4/. 17s. 6d. to 51. 2s. 6d. y OYA.L SWEDISH RAILWAY COMPANY utatetbroa the Central Sweatt or the Great ine frdin Stockholm to Golhenburg).—NOTlCE IS HEREBY GIVEN, That the HALF-YEARLY INTEREST, at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, due the 27th October, 1855, on the Shares in this Company, will be payable on and after that day.

The Vice-Admiral Commander-in-Chief saw with real satisfaction the bold manner in which those bomb-vessets, notwithstanding the heaviest sea, pene trated into the Bay of Streletzka, the Cassini in the dead of the night, and the.Tenare and the Sesostris at break of day, under the fire of the Quarantine Battery. The Palinure, stationed at the entrance of the bay, continued her fire with a precision the more remarkable as she was exposed to a very annoying surf.' " `Sept. 10.—The Vice-Admiral Commander-in-Chief congratulates the batteries of the navy on the glorious part they took in the vigorous cannonade which, for three consecutive days, prepared the assault on the enemy's works. He hastens to lay before the squadron the particulars he has just received from Rear-Admiral Rigault de Genouilly. Between the sth and 7th of Sep tember the siege batteries had 145 men hors de combat and three officers wounded. As on every other occasion, our seamen in the last battle distinguished themselves by their energy, self-devotion, and skill in working their guns. Their fire was never more precise nor more rapid, and must have inflicted considerable loss on the enemy. The officers and midshipmen have maintained the glori ous reputation of the navy, and admirably seconded the excellent arrangements made by the brave general• officer who commanded them?

The essential Went of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man aood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any )then class of disease known to modern pathologists.

Mme. Bosio, Lablache, and Tamberlik have witted Paris en route for St. Petersburg, where the grave events of the war are not allowed to interfere with the public amusements. The Official Journal of the Two Sicilia announces that the Board of Health at Palermo has subjected ar rivals from Marseilles to a quarantine of five days in consequence of the cholera. Vessels with a cholera pa tient on board to be refused admittance. Marshal Pelissier and General Niel both men tioned in their reports the gallant conduct of Com mandant Ragon, of the Engineers, on the Bth. The Constitutionnel now publishes the following letter from that officer to one of his friends " Malakhoff Redoubt, 11th Sept. "My brave friends—l cheerfully pay the tax you have imposed on me of a short letter to set your mind at rest. It was I, Louis-Dominique-Auguste Ragon, one of your oldest and best friends, who had the honour of command ine the engineers of the column of assault on the for midable work of Malahhoff. I entered it at the head of the sappers conjointly with the regiment of Zouaves of the let division of the 2d corps d'armee. We climbed the ditch like cats, dislodged the enemy, forced the lines,and carried the redoubt with an enthusiasm and rapidity perfectly French. Our standards planted on the ' parapet were assailed and vigorously defended for more than six hours. After this heroic struggle our column had alone the honour of remaining masters of its conquest; the four others, two on our right and two on our left, were compelled to give way, leaving the ground covered with their killed and wounded. But our triumph sufficed to deprive the Russians of the power of holding their ground. At midnight, from the top of our conquered work, and mounted on heaps of dead Russians, we were witnesses of one of the grandest spectacles that can possibly be conceived—the town in flames, lighted up all the roadstead, where the Russian vessels were disappearing one after the other be neath the waves, lurid by the glare of the fire on shore. To this terrible picture was added the successive explo sions of forts, batteries, and powder magazines, vAith.,.. the enemy blew up in their retreat. At daybreak, we had nothing around us but ruins, s with the dead and dy ing beneath our feet, a routed army before us on the north shore of the roadstead, and our triumph ant soldiers regarding with a gratified eye the mag nificent results of their courageous efforts. The first of these explosiems, to which I found myself rather too close, caused me some little injury ; the whole of my epaulettes were carried away, my sword was bent at the hilt, my left arm and hip bruised, and I received a scratch on the head, just sufficient to give me a right to say that I had shed blood for .the honour of France in this day of tri umph. I seal my letter with the seal of a Russian officer, which I obtained in the Malakhoff Tower, and it is a valuable spoil. I must request you to communicate this letter to my mother and to M. T--; they will be pleased at my thinking of them, and I have nit now time to write to them, the courier by whom I send this being about to start immediately. I embrace you, &c., "A. RAGON." An officer of one of the regiments engaged in the taking of the Malakhoff Tower writes as follows : "At last we were enabled to examine at our ease those prodigious earthworks, those admirable master pieces of fortification, those enormous parapets, 8 or 10 metres high, those formidable traverses offering secure shelter to the enemy at every point. How could the de fenders of such works ever allow themselves to be expelled from them ? Not the least curious episode of this memorable day is this : that at the very moment our four regiments penetrated into the works of Mala khoff, a Russian General was preparing a distribu tion of crosses of honour. We made him prisoner, and a good number of his men too." The Mayor of Stockport has received the follow ing interesting letter from a correspondent in the Crimea : "Balaklava, Sept. 12. "My dear doctor,--You will long since have heard of our glorious success on the Bth, and I take the first opportunity of sending you a few particulars of that eventful day. Since the battle on the 16th Aug. a sharp cannonade had been kept up to facilitate the pushing forward of the trenches, and for several days last week a regular bombardment was made, and with such effect that the enemy were able to reply only comparatively feeble. We knew great events were impending, but so secret was the matter kept, that it was only at 10 o'clock in the morning we were sure the assault was to take place at noon. The plan was for the French to take the Mala khoff, Little Redan, and adjoining works on the right, and then for the English to attack the Redan. The French trenches were quite close to the ditch of the Malakhoff, and nearly so to the Little Redan. Our advanced sap was still about 180 yards from the salient angle of the Redan. A gale of wind was blow ing all day and such clouds of dust that it was almost impossible to see what was taking place. The French took the Malakhoff at the first rush, then the double line of works between it and the little Redan, and established themselves there; then the f jilting was tremendous, and continued all the afternoon, but all attempts to drive them out were in vain. In the meahtime the English storming party had got into the Redan, which is an enormous place, but, after holding it for a long time, the reinforcements not coming up quickly enough, or not in the place where they were most wanted, our people were compelled to retire from the severity of the flank ing fire upon them. No further attempt was made that afternoon, but a plan of attack for the next morning was arranged. However, during the night the quietness in the Redan was noticed. Some of our men crep . up and found it feebly defended. Soon after a tremendous explosion took place, shaking our huts eight miles away. This was followed by others. They were blowing up their works and retreating, and before daylight our troops walked into the Redan almost without opposition. The enemy, finding they could not hold out against the French possession of the Malakhoff, retreated during the night across the bridge of boats and broke it up. During the previous night two ships had been set on fire and burned, and on the night of the Bth the enemy sunk all the rest of the sailing ships, as we expected they would. They set fire to the town in several places, leaving mines to explode as the fire reached them. On the next day I rode up. The town was burning fiercely, explosions taking place occasionally, one of which crumbled Fort Paul into a heap of ruins. I rode up to the Malakhoff and was surprised at the immense strength of it. The gunners were admirably protected by places built for them, and there were regular little rooms built in the parapet, with beds, chairs, &c., for the officers. There was no lack of ammunition, and no words of praise are too great for the admirable way in which the French have managed the matter. The works from the Mamelon constitute a distinct siege in themselves, and have all been done since the 7th June ; and, considering the rocky ground and the fire upon them, are quite a marvel of engineering skill. This portion commands the whole of that side of the Military Harbour, and the Redan could not have been held long after its possession. I could see the mastheads of several of the ships last sunk ; in fact, the harbour is quite obstructed with them. The enemy have kept their steamers, and I counted seven or eight in a creek on the opposite (north) side. These can be destroyed when batteries are got up. ` On the following day I was fortunate enough to get into the Redan. The English were carefully excluded from the town, the French soldiers being allowed all the pillage. This, however, was not valuable, as they had had plenty of time to remove portable things. I met hundreds of French soldiers carrying out chairs, tables, and such like things. The Redan was a mere heap of ruins inside, from our fire and the explosions. It was not so strong as the Malakhoff. With diffi culty I rode through it, and went to the dockyard in the rear, passing on my way a large range of bar racks, all knocked to pieces byi ourimortar shells. The dockyard is very spacious, and the docks perfect, open ing from the military harbour where there is a long wharf, alongside of w hi c h ships of any size may be brought. There are three docks in row, opening rear ward into a large basin, and again from it three other docks, all built of a kind of granite ; in one was the smouldering remains of a steamer, machinery only left ; in another, the remains of a ship's boat. Whilst I was there, a flag of truce was flying, and a Russian steamer came across to carry away wounded men. In the dock yard an immense range of buildings had beerr converted into hospitals, and that morning it was found they were full of dead and wounded men, who certainly had had no food since the Bth—this was on the 10th. I went into one building, and, hardened as I am by the scenes of this war, I never saw anything to compare to this. There were some 70 or 80 there, most of them dead—and the living unable to move from the putrefying bodies around. The smell was horrible and quite overpowered me. The wounded were carefully nursed on board the steamer and some barges—fine robust fellows, who bore their suffer ings with the greatest fortitude or apathy. I could not go into the city ; the military harbour di vides the Government buildings, &c., from the town pro ,pr.r- I rode_back_by_the_Frenel rigtt, and so thick were the dead Russians near the parapets that with difficulty I could get along without my horse treading upon them. Hundreds had been buried already, and great numbers remained—all fine men. The French dead were being collected, identified, and interred by themselves. The Erglish loss is about 153 officers killed and wounded, and 2,300 men killed, wounded, and missing. This is an approximation. The French loss is of course infinitely greater ; and the Russians added to it I think would make not less than 20,000 men killed and wounded On that day. Surely such a holocaust will have some effect in shortening this horrid war. I observed, in the suburb around the dockyard, all the streets were barricaded, and armed with small car ronades, the ammunition all ready ; but they hat' not been used. These,defences converged towards the dock yard, and were evidently meant to cover the retreat had they been very much pressed ; but their getting away in the night obviated that. September 14—Since writing this letter I have made a journey into the city. The French have possession of it, and the English of the dockyard and Karabelsaia suburb. I rode through the French works on the ex treme left, and into the Russian defences. These are ex tremely strong, double lines ; and here the French met the same fate on the Bth that we did at the Redan. I rode through the Quarantine defences. The large fort of that name is a heap of ruins, and down to Fort Alexander, which is at the entrance to the harbour opposite T i nt Constantine. The number of heavy guns in all their works is surprising. The day previous some Russian guns had been turned on the steamers with such effect that the next morning all were sunk, and now not tae vessel of war of all their fleet remains. I can give re no idea of the state of the town. It is one vast heap of reins. The greater portion had been completely destroyed by the French fire, and the remaining buildings so well burnt by the enemy, that I don't think there are balf,a dozen houses remaining perfect. F or t Ni c hol a s, whim is built of hard limestone, had resisted the attempts to burn it. The streets are spacious, with gardens, statues, &c. ; and though the taste shown is perhaps not the best, yet the natural position is so splendid that it bag a most imposing appearance. All the streets of tie town are barricaded as in the suburb. There was abun dance of ammunition everywhere ; and in one arsenal are above 1,300 new guns, and hundreds of ship anchors. 1 hear that 1,000 dead Russians were removed from the dockyard buildings, and buried by us. The enemy ap pear to be at work on the north side. No one knovrs what will be the next move. I suppose it will depend on the movements of the enemy. «T. P." We read in the Moniteur de la Flotte "I write in the open air, exchanging now and then a word with persons p ass i ng by, which accounts for the un connected style of my letter. I came here to visit an aide lie-camp of the Governor of Sebastopol, whom I found writing to his family close to the ruined docks of Sebas• topol, and surrounded by a regular bazaar of articles of every description, collected there by our men. He was comfortably seated in an arm chair a /a Voltaire, and writing on a music stand, the shaft of which was broken by a cannon ball. He offered me the verso of the stand, and I set about writing my epistle, which is no longer dated before, but in, Sebastopol. We are beginning to instal ourselves in the city, the ruins of which will be soon removed. The establishment of an administration of the port, and the appointment of a naval commander, are spoken of, and no time will be lost in clearing the channel by means of the diving apparatus sent out from England and France. Our military and maritime admi nistrations will here take up their winter quarters. It is now the turn of the Russians to enjoy themselves in the open air. They are, to be sure, so skilful in digging the earth that they will soon make out qUarters for themselves in the fields. The English covered themselves with glory in the attack on the Redan. When they met the Russians with the bayonet a backing movement was observable in the ranks of the Muscovites similar to that of a gun which has received a double charge. Then masses of fresh troops continually came up and assailed the heroic English. One of the officers of the brigade that stormed the Redan made a remark which may account f or the serious loss sustained by our allies in this last aff a i r . H e observed that no sooner had our soldiers entered th e M a lakhoff than our engineers and artillerymen, who had come prepared for the purpose, immediately turned the guns of the work upon the Russians, closed up the gaps, established parapets with earth bags, and, in short, placed the position in a state of defence. All this was done with incredible promptitude, and saved the lives of many. The Russians clearly saw that they could not retake the Malakhoff, for at every attack they were repulsed with immense loss, and each time they returned to the charge our position was stronger. The same course was not adopted for the defence of the Redan, which our allies were accordingly obliged to evacuate ; but I can assure you that the movement they effected at that mo• ment was that of a troop of lions, and that the Russians took good care not to follow them. Admiral Bruat has issued the following orders of the day :-- " Sept. 9.—The Vice-Admiral Commanding-in-Chief addresses his congratulations tothe commanders, officers, and crews of the Cassini, Sesostris, Palinure, and Tenare, for the activity those bomb-vessels have displayed since their arrival in the Black Sea, and for the remarkable precision of the very brisk fire they kept up upon the Quarantine Bastion on the Bth of September. They have justified the confidence of the General-in-Chief, who thought, with reason, that their co-operation would be The following is from the summary of the Bom bay Tines of Aug. 29 : The Sonthal insurrection continues to devastate the country, but the insurgents are now being hemmed in on all sides by our troops, and must speedily yield to force of arms. The mountain terri tory near Rajmahal, usually their home, lies nearly parallel to the Ganges, and covers an area of about two thousand square miles, the peaks rising to an elevation of from two to four thousand feet. The people have generally been quiet, industrious, and well behaved—the present being the first time during the 70 years we have had to deal with them that they have occasioned us the slightest annoy ance. The causes of the outbreak are still dubious. The 30,000 supposed to be in the country are scat tered about in small parties, committing ravages so atrocious that one shudders on reading them. The conflicts betwixt them and the regular troops have invariably ended in the overthrow of the bar barians ; and as the close of their career approaches, it becomes matter of consideration how those that may escape shall be dealt with. Capital punish ments, to the extent that they deserved, would imply an amount of slaughter not to be thought of. Those who have once tasted the pleasure of plun dering the plains may, if left in their mountains, , eftine to forget the results of their misconduct, and repeat practices the very thought of which must keep the provinces around them in alarm. Tim fertile fields of Pegu, productive enough to supply food to millions, and to extinguish the apprehension of famine in Madras, lie barren for want of cultiva tion, and as the Sonthals are an industrious, hard working race , never until now charged with impro priety, the riend of India has proposed that the whole of those engaged in the insurrection should, with their household goods and families, be from henceforth located in British Burmah. A religious war appears to be raging in Oude, betwixt the Mahomedans and flindoos, the King's troops having joined the former against the latter, without the slightest regard apparently to the wishes of authority. This state of matters will in all likelihood hasten on the crisis that has long been looked for. Tho Governor-General has mean while given orders that not a man shall be moved from Cawupore, a station formerly belonging to Oude, and close upon its western f ron ti er . Th e force hero stationed at present consists of two bat talions of artillery, one regiment of cavalry, and three regiments of infantry, or 4,000 men in all. We have three regiments at Lucknow itself, and were military operations to become requisite, a force abundantly sufficient for the occupation of the kingdom could be provided whenever required, in a short space of time. The Governor-General is un derstood to have made up his mind on the subject of the indispensability of annexation. The reported interference with the affairs of Oolipoor has been explained away. It is not against the Rana that our troops were to take the field, but to assist him, at his own earnest and long-continued entreaties, to bring to order his own rebellious nobles. As the season opens we have had some disturb ances on the north-west frontier. Profound tranquillity seems to reign throughout British Burinah, and our embassy, now on its way to Ava, proceeds auspiciously on its journey. In Western India we are threatened at present with a famine, the latter part of our south-west monsoon having proved as unfavourable as its com mencement was promising. During the last fort night of June we had a fall of thirty inches of rain ; within the two months since less than ten inch©s of rain is all that has been measured at the Presi dency, though 25 be our July and 16 our August average. We aro thus short by a third of our ordi nary supply up to the present date, and the alti tude of the mercury, condition of the air, and as pect of the sky, give every reason to apprehend a continued drought. This state of matters unhap pily prevails through nearly the whole of the presi dency, and though the northern and eastern portions of India appear to have had abundance, the inunda tions on the Indus and Ganges and their tributaries having imen of unusual magnitude,it isdoubtful whe ther the means of conveyance at our disposal will permit the surplus food in one region to be trans ported iu time to the districts where starvation is threatened. Even were a copious fall now to await us the bulk of the crops are too far advanced in maturity to benefit by it ; and the only mitigation for our apprehended sufferings must lie in an ex pensive importation from those districts that are within roach of water carriage. Our last famine was in 1838, and it is seldom that so long a period as 17 years intervenes betwixt the occurrence of these frightful scourges, which decimate the popu lation, and cost Government larger sums, in loss of revenue, than would have been required in the construction of canals and roads, which would h Ise gone a considerable way to avert them. A meeting of the Parsee community, at which there were nearly three thousand present, took place ten days since, for the purpose of getting a code of laws prepared, as affecting the rights of marriage, inheritance, and divorce to bo trans formed into an act by the Legislative Council, so that this important caste should, like the Maho medans and Hindoos, have justice in these matters administered to them in conformity with the cus toms and feelings of the race. The want of some such thing as this has long been felt and complained of by the Judges cf the Supreme Court. A singular document has just been published, showing that within a recent period 600 children have been destroyed by wolves in the Punjaub ; nearly a thousand were some 20 years ago slaught ered•in the same way around Agra. The orna ments of the infants are generally found in the dens where their poor little bodies are devoured, and those who make a trade of getting possession of the plunder thus provided to their hands have created an impression amongst the people that the village in which a wolf is killed is sure to come to ruin ; and the ferocious brutes, when caught, are frequently set free with a bell around their neck. The loss of life from snake bites iu Sind has be comes so serious that Government have taken mea sures for the destruction of these reptiles—singular illustrations, these, of the scantiness of the popula tion. 1854. 1855.

We are not sufficiently informed of the me chanism or rules of the bank to know what has compelled a step to be adopted so wholly without precedent, and which could only be justified on the strongest possible grounds.

It will be remembered that Bombay is in 19 deg., and Aden, the first stage in the journey home, in 12 deg. N., and that the steamer route for 8 months of the year is nearly straight across. From May to August, when the furious south-west wind from the coast of Africa blows right into Bombay harbour, our packets hitherto have run about 12 degrees south-west, and then crossing over steamed six of degrees northerly to the opening of the " 11 " Aden.

GLASGOW AUTUMN CIRCUIT COURT. GLASGOW, Friday.—The Autumn Circuit Court of Justiciary for the city of Glasgow and the counties of Lanark, Renf re w, and Dumbarton was opened here onl Tuesday by th e Lord Justice Clerk and Lord Ardmillan, and brought to a close to-day. In all there were 6S cases for trial, in which 88 persons were implicated, and som e of these were of an aggravated character. The following were those of most importance : James Moore was charged with the murder of Bernard Macaulay, by stabbing him to the heart with a knife in the streets of Glasgow, on the 22d of August last. There had been some disturbance between the parties, when the prisoner, in the course of a scuffle, drew a knife and inflicted a wound of which the man Macaulay died instantaneously. The prisoner offered a plea of culpable homicide, which was accepted by the Crown, and he was sentenced to 21 years' transportation. The termination of this case has excited much disap probation, especially as the use of the knife has become lamentably frequent in Glasgow of late. No good rea son can be given for its not going to trial, excepting the exercise of one of those unaccountable fiats for which the law officers of the Crown in Scotland have become remarkable. Henry Mason was accused of the murder of his brother, John Mason, at Kirkintilloch, in Dumbarton shire. From the evidence it appeared that the parties, who were much the worse for liquor, quarrelled, and the prisoner pulled his brother from the house to the street and back again by the hair of the head, threw him often to the ground, and pressed upon his belly with his knees, in consequence of which he died. The case lasted the whole of Thursday, when the jury brought in a verdict of culpable homicide, and Mason was transported for 15 years. Agnes 1 VAllister, repulsive-looking woman, was found the journals are already - pointing to the evidence guilty of an attempt to murder her child, a little been boy which s h owe d that a former Governor of Madras 3 years of age. It appeared that the child ba d and a f ormer mem b er of Council at Bom b ay, with crying, and when the prisoner believed that no one was looking on, she threw the boy into the sea at Greenock- other high au th or iti es , cons id ere d gu b erna t or i a l quay, but ruralising illegal —as it certainly is, when frequently : fortunately, the act was noticed a nd the c hild rescued, indulged in and protracted, in the last degree in- The woman was sentenced to 15 years' transportation, convenient.

During the past week some combined operations of the British and American naval force have done signal execution to a large piratical fleet near Kulan, in which we had eight seamen and marines killed, and 15 or 16 wounded. Capt. Feilowes, of the Rattler, Lieut. Orlando, and other officers, were blown up in oue of the captured junks, but fortunately without much p ersona l injury. NO less than 10 piratical junks were taken and destroyed, the crews of which were either killed or put hors de combat, in all about 800 men ; 23 of the smaller junks, favoured by their light draught of water and the darkness of the night, escaped. \Ve have no news to communicate anent the re bellion, which, for the present at least, appears to have ceased. Towards the end of the year the in surgents may possibly take fresh courage. Prom Japan we learn that the admiral was likely to remain there until the ratification of the treaty at the end of September next. The Ameri cans settled at one of the trading ports find their residence very unwelcome to the Japanese. Exchange and Bullion.—Canton, Aug. B.—On Lon don, 4.8 ; India, 215 rs.

The Nation of Saturday publishes a letter from a Mr. Alexander Pelissier, of Mastfield, Clonmel, tho object of which is to prove that there can be no mistake with regard to the Irish descent of the conqueror of Sebastopol. The family, ho says, is originally Huguenot. Alexander Pelissier, Peter, and John, with two sisters, escaping from the per secution, settled in Dublin. "Alexander (adds the writer) and, I think, Peter, carried on the wine business in the house afterwards oc cupied by Andrew Callage, woollendraper, in Dame street, whick house, one on City-quay, and three in Townsend-street, Alexander built. This Alexander had one son, Francis, who was married to Elizabeth Hon nor, of the Queen's County, by whom he had th ree sons and two daughters. Robert, the eldest, was m y father, and Alexander, the next, I have good reason to believe, was father to Marshal Pelissier, hi s s i s t er , t o mention Alexand er ' s name, as he i a d n e not li Pelissier ke (my aunt), often told m e th at s h e fought against the Engl i s h, was a Unit e d I r i s h man , went away when young, and w as never seen but for a short interview on board a vessel by my f a th er . Hi s g randfather left the ho uses on La zor ' s -hill ( now Town send s re , Alexand er , an d J ane ; an d , i n n father, R o b er t, an d J ane, not b eing a bl e to ascertain his d ea th , i t was only when I came of a ge that any rent could b e recovered out of the one left o-escitoeento)o, of f o n R ly ohert to Aleiander, who never made any claim. If Marshal Pelissiees father was from Dublin, he must be descended from either Alexander or Peter. - The latter had a son, also called Alexander, and, I think, was a doctor ; but I never heard that any of the family went abroad. They all spelt their names Pelissier, and were the only family of the name in the United Kingdom that I over heard of. There is a family of the Pallisers of this county (Tipperary), but in no way related, although coming from France, I believe, from the same cause." Of the Celtic origin of General M‘Mahon there can be no dispute, but even this does not satisfy the Irish journals, and it is now more than hinted that General Niel derives his name and blood from the same stock as the lords of Shane's Castle. ss d e 13 :. 1 THE CITY OF LONDON AND ITS O FFICER O F HEALTH. n —The following are the qualifications of the nine candi dates as represented in the Medical Director." :—Three —Dr. Bristowe, Dr. Goolden, andD ea r v . i latterng as University" of iP these gen the highest medical qualifications, h green, and being doctors of medicine and licentiates o the Royal College of Physicians ; o ■ tlemen having contributed e xtensively to m e di c i ne and hygiene.
