THE OVERLAND MAIL. INDIA. We hare received our despatches in anticipation of the Overland Mail. They incude advices from Calcutta, July 19 ; Bombay, July 30 ; Canton, July 8 ; and Hong 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 promises to be auspicious. This state of matters appears to prevail along the sea board only ; thosughout the interior of India, so far as we know, the season promises to be eminent ly auspicious. The tranquillity of this period of the year has been sadly disturbed by a savage de scent on the low country of mountaineers close by on th e city of Rajhmahal. This, with the territory ad joining, once belonged to the ancient province of Bengal. The city stands on the sou t-w est bank of the Ganges, about 70 miles fromMoo rshedabad, and 200 to the northward of Calcut ta . ceased to be the seat of government, an Since it and British courts of justice have been removed from i t, it has lost much of its former • greatness, but is stll sup- posed to number between i 20,000 and 30,000 inha bitants. Adjoining this s a vast mass of mountain land, occupied by one of those numerous hill tribes till of late years hardly known to us, with which the wilds of India abound, w hi c h 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 wors hipped amongst them as an incarnation of the Divinity, and by him an intimation had 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 Baugumpoor, were ,taken from their palankeens, and savagely butchered. The Calcutta papers last received state that the insurgent force had swelled 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 refused t o l ower th e rents, resided, and were spreading devastation, pillage, and murder wherever they went—the people fleeing the-eountry 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 read 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 Berhaurpore. 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 80,000 t. 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 Assemb'y of the Church of Scotland to accept the grants in aid of their Indian missions contem plated by the late education despatch. The Governors of Madras and Bombay have been in 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 trutii in the reports appearing in the home papers, and fabricated in Bombay, that an army of 15,000 men was about to proceed with twenty armed steamers and gun-boat. 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 Scotl an d' s m i ss i on in Bombay, after a useful career of twenty-eight years, fell a victim to cholera on Friday last ; he bad 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 Calcutta Englishman.) We have at last a little news of our own. 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 his own in the Rajmahal hills. These bills overhang the Ganges in their northern extre mity, 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 authorities 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 not 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 ten, 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 Santal 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 darogah to furnish supplies, and, on his r - fosal to do so, they deliberately seized and murder e d him. This I had 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 hear 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 hear that they called on the Santals in the surrounding zemindaries to join them, but they refused, saying they had no grievances. This shows plain enough the difference between the system adopted by the Government and that by private parties in collecting the land 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 whcie of Atte country. They wrote to the darogah to inform Government that they wanted to fight them, and to send out their troops as soon as they liked. The darogah hearing of the assemblage, went out with his thannah to see what they were up to. At some dis tance from where they had met, the darbgah gets on his palkee, and walks up to them. They asked him what he wanted. He said he had come to see what they were tip to. Oh no, said they, you have come to bind and canTust 1 4.aad they immediately cut him and his people , i „ down, took off their heads, and making a pile of them, , :r1 made a poojah to Kallie. They have a Mahajun (or ra ther bad) who Possessed two h orses , a w hi te one and a black. They seat off word to him to send the black one fertile King. The man thinking they would do no thing to him, he being their mahajun, went to them ou the white horse. They i mmediately seized him .and asked why he bad come on the white horse. He said be could send the black °me, but he had first come to see them on th.exhite. They said, you will not o b ey th e King, and c u t him down, adding his head to the pil e . They have, f: believe, "looted" some villages, and the whole moo lk.i a i n a f r i g ht. in The Paha rees h ave n ot yet joined th e Santals, who' have burnt down and plundered some bungalows belong ing to the railway people. They afterwards separated ir into two parties, one going towards Ambour and Pokanr, a. which latter they plundered. The former will be " looted" to-day or to-morro w by the other party, reported to be ai going south along the bank of the river, with the inter,- tion ofvisiting the Hon. Mr. Eden at Aurungabad. Robson and L yon ' factory at Baneyagraui has closed in consequenc e of general b o lt o f the p e op l e . Th.:, same :s the case with revard to the Neeintollah Cc: sere, in consequence of the Vat Coolies, whO are Santar, having joined the insurgents. If all the Europeans could muster and trust to themselves, and not to the magistrates, there 50 or 60 guns would soon check the rioters. The force at the command of Mr. Eden in worthless. He, however, is to proceed to a factory be longing to Mr. Andrews, called Kallapannee, to try his luck. Toogood, the Berhampore magistrate, left that station on the 10th, with five companies of the 7th N.I. and three pieces of artillery, and expected to reach Au rungabad to-day or at latest to-morrow. The Bhagul pore magistrate has arrived at Rajmahal, and I fancy that the Hill Rangers must be with him. Ganges r i s i n g a foot a day and more, and weather turned rainy and bqually, 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 Santal lady. Certainly some strong insult or injury must have provoked these reclaimera of the waste land, for they are not predatory hill tribes, but peaceful cultivators, who are accomplishing what the savageness of the " pa hariae 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 had 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, Scc, by water on Rajtua hal and Sikree gully, and from Barrackpore by rail or by steamer, or both, to Beerbhoom and Jungypore. There are evidently two, if not more, large parties of in surgents, and the lowest reports make each consist of nearly 10,000 men. As 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 bands, and that they are innocent. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. 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 considerable 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 MADAPOLLAMS 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 iu them. COLOURED GOODS—Although several transactions have been effected in various descriptions of these goods, still they have not iniproved 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/. 58. 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 for 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 :-2s. lid. to 2s. lid. for China, and first-class credits, and 2s. Igd. to 2s. lid. for documents. On Calcutta we quote Rs. 101 1 / 2 at sight, and Rs. 1001 at 60 days' sight. On Madras Rs. 1001 at 39 days' sight, and on China Es. 224 at 60 days' sight. I - CALCUTTA, JULY 17. The steamer with letters from London of the 9th of Jane 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 sales. The increased price obtained, notwithstanding the unfavourable 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 tifling indeed. At present last mail's quotations can only be. repeated, say 2-1 to i f for first class credits, and 4 to I above for document bills, six months' sight, with no demand, - and sale difficult to effect, " MILITARY INTELLIGENC.

MASSACRE OF TEN THOUSAND INSURGENTS. The Pekin Gazette reports that the insurgents are losing ground in the north of China. The Overland Priend of China says Tbo 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 the rest was cut in twenty-four pieces —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 ground, it will not surprise us to hear of a plague carry ing 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 far 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 thug 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 1001., and set the females at liberty." A numerous body cf British merchants at Sha.ng:- 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 Canton Chamber of Commerce we learn'that several more chops of last season's congou and other teas have arrived ; the eongous (Oonams) considerably injured by their long detention in transit. "No teas, the girpwth of the present'sfeison, -Lave arrived as yet," says the secretary, "and it Irould now appear to be ex tremely doubtful if we.shall receive any at all."

MANSION-HOUSE.— -James Hennessy and Eliza Hennessy, his wife, were brought before the Lord Mayor for final examination, upon the charge of having neglect ed and starved their child, Peter Hennessy, 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, Bishopegate-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 Taesday, 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 uor 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 un til th e y 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 ? - Witness—l knew that they had 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 there 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 months 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. About 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 drunk. This sort of conduct continued every day till they were in custody. The man is a hard work ing man, early and late, when sober, and, in my opinion, they could get an excellent living but for their drunken ness. When I have spoken to the woman about their late hours and intoxication, she said it was a habit of theirs. Rebecca Williamson--I reside in the same house. 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 •n 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 aeon the two prisoners drunk, and they generally came home in that condition at twelve or one in the morning. Mr. Roberi Fowler, of 145, Bishopsgate-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, aid 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 had not bad sufficient food. The body, but more especially the limbs, 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 neglect. Cross-examined by the male prisoner —I believe the condition of the child was caused by want of food. Mary Gunn, widow—l 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 bad 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 its 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 farm, whether the prisoners wished to say anything in answer to the very serious charge brought against them ? The male prisoner. said- -I always work very hard, and I always found plenty of food for the child. The child was in the habit of laying its head on my knee when I have been at work. The female prisoner said—l bad been out 'all day from twelve o'clock till eight in the evening, and I 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 spoons, 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 their 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 be, for 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 floor 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 before Mr. Bingham with begging of several gentlemen in Piccadilly. Police -constable 131 C said, last night he was on 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 him into custody. The prisoner indignantly denied the charge of begging, and said, although his wardrobe was in a very dilapidatA condition, he could assure his worship that he was a re spectable translator of languages and no com mon b eggar. The fact wa s h e vas a victim to personal appearances. -He had also an income derived from reading the burial service once a week ; that was a matter of reciprocity. Therefore, was it likely, with such 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, h. otill persisted in begging, he (Mr. B.) should commit him to the house of correction for seven days. Prisoner-011, your worship, it's all owing to my per sonal appearance. CLERKENWELL.—Theresa EdmondB, but whose real name is Gregg, a❑ actress, was placed at the bar before Mr. Tyrwhitt, charged with feloniously stabbing William Edmonds.' Police. constable Billingburst, 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 quit• 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. WRB upon an STREET.—Cath,arine Sodor w as pl ace d at the ° bar adjourned charge of having attempted to strangle herself. At the former examination a young man named John Gallaghan 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 anextruereedy eig degree of h l t ne he induced ntal herdepression. o On the ac company evening him of Tuesday to a pri va t e concert, on leaving which, shortlybefore 12 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.

The prisoner was recognised by Alderman, the gaoler, as having made two previous attempts to commit suicide by taking poison, on one of which occasions she had as signed as the reason for her desperate conduct that she had been deserted by a young man to whom she was passionately attached, and who had effected ber ruin. The prisoner was now brought vp irorn the House of Detention, to which she had been remanded for a week; and on being placed at the bar, a respectable-looking elderly woman, who represented herself to be her mother, stepped into the witness-box, and entreated that her un fortunate daughter might be consigned to her charge, and she would use proper precautions to prevent a repe tition of such rash and criminal attempts. Mr. D'Eyncourt said that he bad received a commu nication from the Rev. George Jepson, the prison chap lain, in which be expressed himself in highly favourable terms respecting the prisoner, whom he believed to be truly penitent, and under these circumstances he should venture to accede to the solicitations of her mother, and order her to be discharged. LAMBETH.—Matthew Wilduck and nornas Murty, two members of the riotous gangs who invest the Water loo-road and the thoroughfares adjacent, were charged with creating a serious disturbance and assaulting the police early yesterday morning. Murty, 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 coining up to the court this morning the pri soners attempted an escape. They both exhibited the greatest violence, and are known thieves, and the con stant associates of the worst 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. The prisoners having nothing to say in answer to the charge, were committed by Mr. Elliott—Wilduck for 21 days, and Murty for 14 days. Mary Mahoney was charged with picking pockets in the third-class refreshment room at the Crystal Palace. Sergeant Quinnear proved the case against the priso ner, and she was committed for trial.

TEE RE(VOIT COLLMIoN IN THE DOVER ROADS. VERDICT OF MANSLAUGHTER. Yesterday the investigation into the circumstances connected with the recent collision in Dover-roads, be tween the Vivid mail steamer and the Henry, of Yar mouth, was resumed before Mr. Thompson, the borough coroner. 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 exhibited, 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 ha!f-past 11 o'clock to look out for a collier which was expect,d, 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 had the charge of the Vivid. It they should be of the latter opinion, tha.' 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 an hour and half. The foreman then announcer' that they had unanimously agreed to a verdict of man slaughter against John Watson, the captain of the Vivid, and Wm. Kidhani 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 packets, it was stated that the rate specified in the Post. pffice contract was 13 knot,' an hour. WIND AND WEATLIMR REPORT. WEDNESDAY, August 29.

The following notification as to the removal of nui sances has just been circulated by the board : "The General Board of Health, being required to furnish information for the removal of nuisances and preventible causes of disease, desires to call attention to the provisions of the Nuisances Removal Act, 1855 (18th and 19th Viet. ' cap. 121), which has su p erse d e d the previous acts on the same subject in England "1. Any premises in such a state as to be a nuisance or injurious to health may be ordered by two justices in petty sessions or by a stipendiary magistrate to be made safe and habitable, to be paved, cleansed, whitewashed, disinfected or purified, and sufficient privy wcommoda ton, means of drainage and ventilation, to be provided ; and while any house or building is rendered by a nui sance unfit for human habitation, in the opinion of the justices, the using of it for that purpose may be prohi bited. "2. Any pool, ditch, gutter, watercourse, privy, urinal, cesspool, drain, or ashpit so foul as to be a nuisance or injurious to health, may be ordered to be drained, emptied, cleansed, filled up, amended, or removed, and a substitute provided. "3. Any animal so kept as to be a nuisance or injuri ous to health may be ordered to be kept in a cleanly and wholesome state, and, if that be impossible, the animal may be removed, " 4. Any accumulation or deposit which is a nuisance or injurious to health may be ordered to be carried away. " Notice of a nuisance may be given by any person aggrieved thereby, or by any of the fol:owing persons : —The sanitary inspector or any paid officer under the said local authority, two or more inhabitant household ers of the pariah or place to which the notice relates, the relieving officer of the union or parish, any constable or any officer of the constabulary or police force of the dis trict or place, and, in case the premises be a common lodging-house, any person appointed for the inspection of common lodging-houses. "The notice is to be given to one of the local autho rities in the following list, and if more than one of them have jurisdiction in the place where the nuisance arises, the authority first mentioned is the one to which notice must,he addressed "1. Where the Board of Health Act is in force, the local board of health. " 2. In corporate towns (except the City of London, Oxford, and Cambridge), the town council. "3. In the City of London, the commissioner; of sewers ; and in Oxford and Cambridge, the improvement commissioners. " 4. Where local improvement acts are in force, the commissioners and trustees for the execution of such actg. "5. The highway board, if there be one. " 6. The nuisance removal committee, which ought to be chosen by the vestry, under the act of 1855, where none of the above-mentioned authorities exist. " 7. The board of inspectors for lighting and watch ing, under 3d and 4th Wm. IV., cs, 90, acting with the surveyors of highways. " 8. 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 be 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 loeel authorities in appointing a sanitary in spector, and tiey have power of entry into the premises on which the alleged nuisance is situated for themselves or theirofficeri, and, on being satisfied that the complaint is well foundel, are bound to bring it before a justice, on whose Eumnons the person causing the nuisance, or, if he cannot 104 found or ascertained, the owner or occu pier of the prenises 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 ptoceecings are taken, the local anthority, if they have reasons for believing that it is likely to re cur, may sumnon the offender, and the justices may in such a case mare an order, not for abatement, but for prohibition, or ;hey may combine an order for abate ment with an cider for prohibition, and direct the works necessary to prtvent a recurrence of the cause of com plaint. The orCer of the justices may extend to struc tural works, bu; in that oase the act gives an appeal, as it does against my order of prohibition. " The duty and cost of removing the nuisance are thrown in the fi-st place on the person causing it, and, if he cannot be fond, on the owner or occupier in the next place, acccrding 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 provid!d certain appliances ; and, on the other hand, nuisances for the prevention of which the utmost care or forethoight of an owner is unavailing if the occupier be cardess or perverse. "When neithtr the person calving the nuisance, the owner, nor the occupier can be got at, the duty of removing the nusances 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 bade to a penalty of not more than 10s. per day during iis default; and any person knowingly and willingly acing contrary to the order of prohibition is liable to a pnalty of not more than 20& per day during such cortrary action ; and the local authorities may themselves remove or abate the nuisance, and charge the cos , to the person on whom the order has been made. " Meat, vegetables, flour, &c., expo3ed for sale, or in their way to o/ in the course of being 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 hurl 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 selvage, and may assess parties using the ditch as a means of sewerage to the expense, either ix 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 corning 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. mittens 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. Th e accounts that reach us—and, in addition, our own ear 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 less affected by blight and mould. At the same time there would seem to be so large a crop on the ground that the fallirg-off occasioned by these causes will probably be compensated by the general breadth grown, and thus serve to make up a fair average. A great breadth of corn has been carted during the week, and a vast deal snore cut. In this respect our farmers have evinced more than usual alacrity, and as this spirit has been seconded by extremely favourable weather, im mense progress has been made. Beans, peas—especially the, latter —barley, and oats, all promise well.—Sussex A civertiser. MR. OLIVER A BANKRUPT.—On Tuesday a fiat of bankruptcy was issued against Mr. Oliver.
