ENCOUNTER WITH A DEAR.—The steamer Mazeppa, on her last down trip, encountered a monster black bear in the south channel of the St. Clair Flats. The mate, Mr. bliNabb, made directly for the cutwater, and suc ceeded in striking,the bear in his left quarter, but, not withstanding the great speed of the steamer, old Bruin apparently sustained but little injury by the collision, and immediately changed his direction and made for the island. The mate then manned the yawl and put out for him, armed to the teeth, with an old rusty a xe, upon which his Bruhaship made for the boat. The mate caught an oar and pushed the animal from it several times, besides inflicting sundry blows on his head. The process of "noosing" was next attempted, but was un successful, the bear throwing the rope off much quicker than it could be put on. After a lengthy contest, how ever, he was finally hilted by repeated blows with sari', taken on board the steamer, and brought to t`►is port.— Daroit Free Press. • The direction of the trunk line of railway connecting Western India with Calcutta has been definitively settled. It commences at Bombay, and, after passing the ghauts, pro ceeds along the Valley of the Nerbudda to Jubbulpore, where it will be met by a branch from the East Indian Railway, issuing from the main line at or near Mirzapore. Bombay will also be connected by rail with Madras, and thus the iron districts of the Nerbudda will have the advantage of railway communication with all parts of India, and easy ac cess will be obtained for their produce to every market in the country, for 4/. 16s. per ton. At Jubbulpore, still further east, rich deposits e.,re fur ad ef the micaceous variety of spe cular iron. It is wrought priobipall7 Punnaghur, 15 miles north-east of the tomtit of Jabbulpore arid Commands the same price in th e mar k e t as th e i ron o f Tendukeri. In Oct., 1855, the Court of Directors desired to be in formed whether hi the opinion of the Bombay Government roonMsa possessed the advantages represented by Mr. Jacob. They were anxious that no opportunity should be neglected for opening any field that might be presented for the employment of private capital in developing the mine ral resources of India i but es it was not expected that English capitalists would come forwerd for the purpose of working mines in India with the scanty information hi therto published, they desired that the proper inquiries might be instituted as to the capabilities of this district for producing, manufacturing, and transporting the metal. In March, 1856, the Bombay Government were informed that an " iron viewei" would be sent out from England to prosecute investigations into the mineral resources of that presidency, and the Government were further authorised, in the event of favourable looalities being found, to take measures for the experimental manufacture of iron. In the meantime Professor Oldham, having been de puted to the Nerbudda Valley, proceeded to the examine.- lion of the iron-producing districts ; and having com pleted his investigations in the vicinities of Poonassa and Chandghur, submitted a report on the subject to the Bom bay Government in April, 1856, from which the following particulars are derived., Iron ore is found in this district in two forms :-Ist, as a gravel or detritus of partially decomposed hematitic iron; and 2dly, as a distinct bed or ve i n o f similar ore in a solid and undecomposed state. One of these gra velly deposits occurs at Chandgbur. It covers an area of a quarter of a mile, the thickness varying from four or five feet to a mere scattering of loose pebbles. Another of these loose depo sits occurs about seven miles north-east of Chandghur, near the villages of Bomba and Nanera. A third deposit of the same description is situate eastward of the river Town, having a greater thickness than either of the other two, its depth being about ten feet. The average yield of the ore is estimated at about 55 per cent. of metal. In addition to these, a regular vein, or seam, of rich specular iron is worked close to the .gravelly deposit at -Nanera; and this is stated ViTrofessor Oldham to be the most valuable source of ore in the whole district. It varies in thickness from two to eight and ten feet. The seams of iron ore cut by the Nerbudda river, men tioned by Mr. Jacob, one of which measured 122 feet in breadth, are described by Professor Oldham as utterly use less as practical sources of iron ore, in consequence of the scanty distribution of the ore, and the hardness of the rock. " I am convinced," he observes, " that the cost of mining the ore would be ten times the whole value of the metal obtained." Professor Oldham does not agree with Mr. Jacob in the estimate formed by the latter of the inexhaustible supply of iron ore in the Poonassa and Cbandghur district, but is prepared to admit " that there is a large amount of very rich, valuable, and easily wrought ores here available." A difference of opinion exists also between Mr. Jacob and the superintendent of the geological survey as to the ex pediency of selecting Poonassa for the site of an iron manu factory. Poonassa being situate on the south bank of the Nerbudda, and Chandghur being on the opposite side of the river, the ore has to be brought for a distance of 12 miles, with a bad crossing of the river, where the me has to be unloaded from the (Nuts, carried in baskets down to the water, shipped in small boats, carried up a steep bank on arrival at the other side, and reloaded in carts for con veyance to Poonassa. The price of the ore is consequently Bs. per ton at Poona iSti, while at Chandghur and its vicinity it could be supplied at from 4s. 6d. to 6s. per ton. The fact of Poonassa being in British territory appears to Pro • fuser Oldham to be of very trivial importance, as he could not ascertain that there could be any material distinction between the value of such iron works, whether situate in British or native territory. Professor Oldham further differs from Mr. Jacob in his view as to the abundance of fuel in this district (which comprises an area of 350 square miles) for the reduc tion of the ore. The timber, he observes, is small, and the useful or hardwood trees form but a very small propor tion of the whole. Professor Oldham adds, " I have now seen much of the densest jungle and most heavily wooded parts'of India—in the Terai, on the north-eastern frontier, &c., and I have never seen any place which, without the strictest conservancy, and consequent limitation of supply, could have supplied a couple of good blast furnaces for a couple of years within a circle of eight to ten miles of the place." A calculation follows, showing the recent con sumption of fuel in the district, in proportion to the quan tity of metal pi oduce i in the native furnaces in operation ; and after making a deduction of 75 per cent, for the more economical consumption which may be anticipated under an improved management, the professor concludes by ob serving, "So far, therefore, from Mr. Jacob's statement, that the supply would last for many years, being in accord ance with the facts, it would not, I area satisfied, keep a single furnace yielding 100 tons of iron per week in blast for many months. I would add that I feel equally satisfied that if Mr. Jacob were writing his report in 1856 instead of 1854, this would be his statement also after the experience of the intervening years • but the fact still remains treat there is a large amount a iron which, were feel accessible, could be easily economised, and it will be worth while to consider whether this rich ore might not with profit be convoyed to some other locality where the circumstances are more favourable. It is stated by Mr. Jacob that at Tendukeri and Jubbul pore, the inhabitants, under very favourable circumstances, manufacture malleable iron at 4/. 16s. per ton. Professor Oldham observes that by the wasteful native method of smelting, the cost of outoha iron, or the first produce of the smelting of the ore, is about V. 12s. per ton, but that this iron when reduced to pucka or useable iron, commands a price of 124 15s. per ton, and that these prices barely yield a profit on the manufacture as at present carried oat. •••••••• The consideration of the question of the supply of coal within the Nerbudda Valley is deferred by Professor Old ham until he should have had an opportunity of visiting other localities. He mentions, however, that the discovery of this mineral in two localities where it was hitherto un known to exist, has rewarded the researches of Mr. Medli cott, who has been engaged in the sarvey of this district. It is obvious that the discovery of coal in sufficient quan tity, and fair quality, is the greatest desideratum, and this postulate being granted, the views of Professor Oldham in regard to the iron of the Nerbudda Valley would probably become as sanguine as those of Mr. Jacob. YIIMION IRON. The existence of iron mines in the province of Kumaon has been long known. In 1854 Lieut. Col. Drummond, of the Bengal establishment, was deputed to this province to carry on the investigations necessary to satisfy the British public that sufficient inducement existed for the invest ment of capital in iron works in India. Col. Drummond entered on his duties on the 18th Oct., 1854, and continued his researches for a period of about seven months. His inquiries appear to have been principally directed to the Bhabur district of Kumaon, and the results may be briefly summed up as follows : In order to obviate the necessity of carriage through a mountainous country it became an object of importance to trace the existence of iron as neat the plains as possible, and Colonel Drummond's first inquiries were consequently di rected to the tract of country at the foot of the hills. At Dechowree, the most western paint of Colonel Drummond's route, a rich iron ore was discovered, associated with clay. Hei e the deposits are stated to be readily discoverable not only by the large masses lying on the surface, but also by the beds being extensively exposed by deep ravines. In one part the solid bed of ore is exposed to a thickness of 30 feet, in another it measured 2f feet, in a third it exceeded the depth of 50 feet. " Where a bed of such rich mate rial," says Mr. Sowerby, one of the civil engineers con nected with the East India Railway Company, " is ascer tained to be at least 50 feet thick, a few feet more or less cannot be of much importance." The extent of ground examined at Dechowree was about a mile, and the quantity of ore at and near the surface was estimated to yield, if smelted, 100,000 tons of pig iron. From Dechowroo Col. Drummond pursued his course in au easterly direction, as exhibited on the annexed map, passing by Loha Bhurbur, Kaleedoongeo, Chowsilla, Bee japore, J ham, Burgote, and Burragur. The length of the route was about 60 miles, and rich deposits of iron ore were discovered at most of those places, varying in thick ness from 25 to 50 ft. At Loha Bhurbur the ore is associated with clay, not mere clay impregnated with iron, but solid ironstone. Huge blocks are here represented as lying ex posed on the surface. Several of these were measured, and found to be upwards of 10 ft. long, six broad, and four feet in thickness, each of which it is said, if smelted into pig iron, would yield upwards of three tons of metal. These blocks were not occasional, but frequent and com mon over the whole distance traversed, which was a mile in length, by a width of 175 yards. It was estimated that upwards of 60,000 tons of metal would be obtained from the ore lying on the surface. The beds in the route pursued by Colonel Drummond fully show that an inexhaustible supply of workable iron ore, yielding the quality of iron which is most useful for railway purposes, can be obtained in an 'accessible tract, along the outer face of the lower Himalaya ranges, close to the plains. The existence, however, of rich iron ore in abundance is unimportant, unless accompanied by facilities for working the iron and transportiog it to the markets or places of shipment. Those advantaees are not wanting in some of the localities described 17y Colonel Drummond. It was consequently determined that a model mining experiment should be carried on by the Government at Dechowree, where iron ore (better suited for smelting than the purer one of the interior) together with fuel, limestone, fire clay, a ready command of wa ter, and a cheap su pp l y of labour, are to be found in great abundance. A blast furnace was accordingly erected at Dechowree, and upon the works being completed two experiments were made to test its efficiency for the smelting:of iron ore. These trials were made in March and April, 1856, but owing to the want of experienced workmen the results were not so successful as could have been desired. The metal, however, which was taken out of the furnace when remelted " flowed out in a very liquid state into small pigs, which when fractured s howed the m to be iron of the very best quality, known in the trade as No. 1 grey metal pigs, first quality." " The operations of smelting," observes Mr. Sowerby, " require an amount of manual dexterity and practical ac quaintance with the subject which can only be acquired by a long apprenticeship to the business of a furnace-keeper. There being but one such man (Mr. Davies) on the works, he continued to exert himself until quite exhausted, with the aid of native labourers, by whom the work was kept going for several hours; but from the amount of physical exertion required and the heavy nature of the implements, together with the fierce character of the work, to which they were quite unaccustomed, they were unable to keep the furnace in proper order. Tho qualifications of natives as smelters, it is added, " have not yet been properly tested, but from what has been seen of them, and from their previous knowledge and their observations and remarks during the progress of the experiments, it is believed that they will ultimately become very fair workmen. But in any future works un dertaken it would be exceedingly injudicious to depend on them ; it would be better and more prudent to incur the expense of bringing out a sufficient number of European 'smelters accustomed to the work, who, if well selected, and good useful men in other departments, could, when the natives were traiaed to take part in the work, be the means of extending the number of furnaces, and other works. Any shortcoming in respect of European workmen at the outset would in the en d p rove to be a false economy." The facts before enumerated sufficiently demonst ra t e the existence of iron ore in grea t abundance in the Zlisbur trict. Some further notice of the Bhabur forests may be deemed desirable, inasmuch as Mr. Henwood, who was sent out from England to explore the iron districts of Kumaon , has formed a low estimate of the fuel capabilities of De ()hewn*. On this point the lieutenant-governor of the north-west provinces remarks, that " for mining operations on any extensive scale, supplies of fuel both within the hills and on their borders will be found to be abundant for a long course of years." The commissioner of Kumaon, Mr. Batten, states that the forests of that district are bound less, and to all appearance inexhaustible. " I fully believe," he says, " that the lower hills and Bhabur, at every iron locality discovered by Colonel Drummond, can supply suf ficient charcoal for the largest English furnace for a hun dred years to come." Capt. Ramsay, the senior assistant commissioner of Kumaon, is of opinion that if the miners cut fuel judiciously the forests in the vicinity of the iron mines throughout the district would furnish a permanent supply of fael. Mr. Strachey, the collector and magistrate of Moradabad, and formerly senior assistant in Gurwhal, says, " Many hundred square miles of unbroken and un touched forest are available for mining operations in the Kamaon Behar. The Dochowree Mines are actually in this forest. I believe that there is enough fuel with in an easily accessible distance of Dochowree to supply the largest mining establishment for a century to come." These statements, put forward upon the authority of the best informed local functionaries, cannot but be regatded as satisfactorily refuting the opposite opinions of Mr. Eon wood. Dechowree possesses one great advantage over any other locality suggested, in lying at the foot of the hills instead of among them. The mines being situated so near to the level of the plains, and always accessible to wheel carriages, the transport of the produce can be easily accomplished. There is at present a good road for nearly the whole dis tance from Dechowree to Moradabad (about 50 miles), at which place the Ramgunga is navigable throughout a great part of the year. Moreover, cheap tramways can be laid down as soon as the works are in active operation. An analysis of the Bhabnr clay iron ores by Dr. Macna mara, professor of chemistry at the Calcutta Medical Col lege, gives the following percentage of metal : Dechowree selected specimen Do. ordinary do. Do. do. do. Do. do. do. Do. do. do. Do. do. do. Do. do. do. Assays by Mr. Piddington, Curator, Museum Economic Geology : Dechowree 47.60 Do. Trial assays by Mr. Davies, the smelter, with remarks : Dechowree Do. Good grey cinder, very easy to smelt. Mr. Davies, the smelter, estimates the cost of a ton'of pig iron manufactured according to the European method at 46 re., and the additional cost of making castings from the pig iron, inclnding mouldings, remelting, &c., at 25 rupees, but observes that the cost would be gradually reduced as the works progressed. There are other localities within the Knmaon district, those for instance, of Ramghur and Mangle Lekh, and those of Khetsaree and Chowghnrkha within the hills, and some others at no great distance from the plains, where iron ore of the best quality is found in abundance ; but with reference to the extensive deposits of Loha Bhnrbur and Dechowree, the necessity for looking for other beds in Ku maon may be regarded as a very remote contingency. A more detailed and prolonged examination into the ex tent and quality of the iron formation on the oater range of the Kumaon Hills was projected at l the close of the rainy season of 1855, and no time, it was stated, would be lost in submitting the result of the inquiry. But the report has not yet come to hand. BENGAL. The objects contemplated in Colonel Goodwyn's paper are to point ont'the abundance of iron ore in India, and to sug gest the best means to be employed for working it. The localities mentioned by this officer as convenient sites for the commencement of mining operations and smelting ex periments are the Damoodah valley, near Raneegunge, on the Brahminy, in Cuttack, in Assam, and near Palamow. Several places within the jurisdiction of the Lieutenant- Governor of Bengal have been examined by the superin tendent of the geological survey of India. In a report dated in 1852, Professor Oldham, adverting to the dis trict of " Beerbhoom," observes—" The absence of eco nomical fuel, combined with the scanty supply of ore, at once determines the inapplicability of any extended series of operations for smelting and manufacturing iron in this district." In despatches dated in 1855 the Court of Directors ob- served—" The result of the examination of the B,ajmahal, and also of the Cossyah Hills, by Professor Oldham and the other officers of the geological survey, is on the whole unfavourable as regards the existence of iron in quantities available for any extensive demand." With respect to the Damooda Valley, Professor Oldham, in his report before mentioned, arrives at the conclusion, " that, under existing conditions, the manufacture of iron, on any efficient scale, and on the European system, cannot be undertaken in this district with a certain prospect of such a return as would justify the great outlay required. The conditions are believed to have varied considerably since 1852, as Bnglish bar iron was dim selling at Calcutta at from 61. to Si. per ton. But Mr. Henwood, who at a later period (1854) was deputed by the Government of In dia to inspect the Burdwan coal fields, with the view to the discovery of iron ore, gives no favourable report of the existence of the metal in any abundance in the vicinity of Raneegunge. "Four of the localities," he says, "which we have examined, are, in our opinion, too poor in iron to offer any inducement to the smelter." " Others," he adds, " are not rich enough to be profitably wrought. As our search 'for iron has been so unsuccessful it appeared superfluous to make inquiries respecting facilities for transit." It is stated by Mr. Henwood that in the vicinity of Ranee gunge the Bengal Coal Company have already possession of the field, and have commenced the experiment of smelting iron. MADRAS. In December, 1850, the court addressed a despatch to the government of Madras, calling attention to the subject of iron works within that presidency. The Madras government observed, in reply, that the va rious reports for 17 years on the affairs of the Porto Novo Iron Company would have put the court in possession of the means and operations of that company, which were then manufacturing superior ones at Beypoor. It was added that additional capital alone was wanting to deve lope the resources of the presidency as regards iron, the loca tions of which were stated to have been sufficiently shown in the correspondence which had taken place relating to the collection of specimens for the Great Exhibition. Subsequently an arrangement was concluded with the Indian Iron Company, the leading feature of which was the grant of fresh leases for 30 years to a new company of the districts held on lease by the old iron company, such leases to contain provisions for securing the due working of the iron ores on an enlarged scale. In 1855 some purchases of iron were made by the go vernment from the new company at the price of 130 rupees per ton. BOMBAY. In 1850 the court directed the institution of inquiries with regard to the capabilities of Western India as regards the production of iron. i The reports received n reply show that iron ore exi s t s in many parts of the presidency of B3mbay, and that in those districts iron is manufactured to a small extent by the natives for their own use. In consequence, however, of the general scarcity of fuel, and the wasteful manner in which the process of smelting is conducted, the iron imported from England seems to have the advantage both as regards quality and price. With reference to the iron of Belgauw, Professor Oldham observes : " The absence of economical fuel, and the scattered mode of occurrence of the ores, appear to be abundantly suffi cient to preclude the profitable extraction of the metal." Statistical Office, East India House, Oct. 3, 184. Sporting Intelligence. TATTERSALL'S-MONDAY. The only remaining meetings of importance are those at Liverpool and Shrensbury, and they do not present any event of sufficient importance to induce many specn• lators to commence "a book."

The chairman of the East India Company pre sents his compliments to the Editor of The Sun, and begs to enclose a collection of papers upon a subject of great public interest both to India, and this country. East India House, Nov. 1, 1856. Lieut.-Colonel Good wyn, chief en7ineer in the Lower Provinces of Bengal, having addressed a paper to the local government pointing out the abundance of iron in India, and suggesting the means to be employed for working the ore, it has been deemed expedient to give publicity to his communication,. together with a memorandum pre pared at the East India House, showing the mea sures which have been adopted from time to time, with the view of directing the attention of British capitalists to the iron-producing districts of India. Further reports on the subject may be shortly ex pected, and any new matter therein contained will be published in like manner forgeneral information. FROM CHIEF ENGINEER, LOWER PROVINCES, TO THE SECRE TARY TO THE GOVERNMENT OF BENGAL GENERAL PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT. Dated Fort William, the 27th June, 1855. Sir,—lron being the most valuable metal which is known for its use in every art, and more particularly for its ex tended application to purposes of engineering and building, I am induced not so much to bring the subject to the notice of his Honour the Lieutenant-Governor, who has I know a great interest in it, as to point to its abundance in this country, and the great necessity that exists for establish ing the means of working the native ore. 2. Its abundance has been testified to by almost every journal in India, and confirmed by many reports, although the details may have varied with the views of the reporters, whilst I have myself seen its extensive existence in several parts of the country ; and having witnessed the native mode of working it with a considerable percentage of good metal gained, can state that there is the richest prospect of advantage if more scientific means and liberal capital were employed. 3. Of its deficiency as a manufactured article. I cannot write too strongly ; it is everywhere complained of, and not more so than by the department, public works. Need I say that we are working with perishable material when we ought to have permanent; in wood where we should use iron, and in brick where by the means that iron would give us we should be using stone. This deficiency is be coming daily more apparent, and our work is cramped and paralysed from the extremely limited supply from England, added to which the price has been so much advanced and the freight raised so high that there is little or no relief to be expected from the home market. That the Indian iron can not only be successfully worked, but structurally applied, was proved many years ago by Colonel Presgrave, formerly mint master at Saugor, wbo smelted the iron in the neighbourhood, rolled it in the mint rollers, fashioned it into bars and rods, and then erected an excellent suspension bridge near Saugor entirely from the ore in the vicinity. Its manufacture in India is a subject of prominent importance, and scarcely less so than the es tablishm•n of railways and electric telegraphs. That the iron of India was formerly allowed to be so long in its native state may be traced to the corrupt and de spotic sovereignties by which the country was swayed ; but there are now, under the British Government, the strongest motives, some of which only I have urged, for bringing this mostvaluable metal into extensive use, placed as it is by Providence in our very grasp. 4. I will not here enter into details of the profits or per centage gained by native processes, or the nature of those processes ; suffice it to notice here, that the result is most satisfactory as a guarantee to enterprise, whilst the speci mens that I have seen, and which are extant, show the metal to be of superior quality where attention has been paid to locality ; and if the postulates I have advanced be admitted, I deem that the Government would do well to expend a certain sum to place the matter beyond all possi ble doubt. 5. As regards Central India, the Gwalior and Jubbulpore districts and the neighbourhood of Hazareebaug place the question of the existence of good iron beyond a doubt; but for the more ready consumption of the presidency and its vicinity it would probobly be worth while to enter on ex periments in the valley of the Damooda, near Raneegungo, on the Brohming, in Cuttack, in Assam, and near Pala mow, and an outlay of from one lac to four lace of rupees, according to the extent of the operations, would, I am sure, end in the most advantageous results. G. Its modus operandi will be to call upon the authorities for an imm6diate brief return of the general character of the iron; information which has at various times been obtained in each district in which it is found ; to select from these, under advice, two, three, or four districts, with especial reference to local facilities for the object in view, and if possible of after conveyance; to decide to spend not exceeding 4,00,000 rupees (four lees) upon the whole ; to erect at once moderate-sized blast furnaces at each place, the blast engines, Sze., being constructed in Calcutta, while the furnaces are being built the iron -stone, or ore, fuel, and flux being simultaneously collected in quantity, in readiness for the starting and keeping up the supply, and placing each furnace in charge of some person who has been used to the work, and who may be found in the Cal cutta foundries, giving to them certain latitude, to vary the proportions and record the results, and give a- large premium to the most successful to send down the first pigs made to Calcutta, and upon the result of this examination and the reports of the blast furnace operations and local supplies there will be no difficulty in making over the whole to those who will complete the scheme, by supplying all the rolling mills, puddling fur naces, and continuing the manufacture through all its steges, either returning the outlay to the Government, if made a condition, or not, as may be considered most equi table at the time. 7. I believe that no complete analysis by a regularly trained iron viewer and smelter has yet been faithfully ob tained, and it is very probable that greater value may, on the result of such analysis, be found in some localities that will materially affect the prospect of working them, and I would fain hope that under effective and scientific manage ment our public works may at no distant time receive that aid from native iron, without which its energies must be eomparatively circumscribed.—l have, &c., (Signed) H. GOODWIN, Lieut.-Col., Chief Engineer, Lower Province. MEMORANDUM. IRON ORES IN THE VALLEY OF THE NERBUDDA In connection with the introduction of rail ways into India. the Court of Directors, towards the close of the year 1850, called the attention of the government of India to the ma nufacture of iron in that country. The court observed that little doubt could be entertained of the capability of India to produce this most important a. :Ade, bat that faci• lities were wanted, and infor.aation required. before any expectation would be entertained that enterprise and capital could be directed to the promotion of this ob ject. Among the localities represented as the most eligible for carrying on ironworks, the court enumerated Sikree Gully, near Rajmahal ; the banks of the Damoodah River and parts of Sylhet and Beerbhoom ; and a desire was expressed that the attention of Professor Oldham, the geological surveyor then just appointed, should be drawn to the subject. While engaged in surveying the vicinity of Sikree Gully it was suggested that Professor Oldham should be deputed much importance could not be at laistyeairtlywaass p eb os se si r b v l e e d to te t e he Nerbudda Valley, to whichloca tes e a f c thheils. could b i n e u e t x e paecectoeudu until of nt i t a h e scientific mineral g r e e e s l o e u g r i c e tract Noverym had, however, been formed by Mr. Jacob, thee assistantßw al Railway survey should have been institute d .

TALLEY OF THE NERBUDDA. Mr. Jacob arrived at Poonassa on the 12th December, 1853. At this place there is a large deposit of dolomite (carlsonite of lime and magnesia), situate a mile westward of the town. The deposit is represented as inexhaustible, the outcrop being four miles in length. The stone for a flux is considered superior to limestone. From Poonassa Mr. Jacob proceeded to Chandghur, on the north side of the river, distant about 12 miles, where the red hematite ore of iron abounds. It is described as of surpassing richness, yielding 63.4 per cent. of metal, the theoretically pure ore giving only 69.34 per cent. At one of the mines the ore lies in rounded nodules on the surface, the depth varying from Gin, to 10 ft. It is dug out with the greatest facility. In addition to the loose ore in the vicinity of this mine the ground for hundreds of acres is strewn with it, and every stream washes down quantities of the purest kind, being the debris from the various veins intersected in the river's course. The river Nerbudda is represented as cutting four great veins within the short space of one mile, one of them having a breadth of 122 ft. The veins run almost ver tically into the banks. Mr. Jacob adds :--" It is needless to dwell on the many places in the district where iron ore abounds; the deposit may be looked upon as inexhausti ble. The loose ore, which ought to be first used, would be collected and placed at the depots for the low price of ls. 34d. per ton. My camp was four miles from the mine, and the villagers offered to bring any quantity to it for that price," The district for miles round is densejungle ; the timber, Mr. Jacob adds, is of the highest specific gravity, and admirably suited to the manufacture of char coal, and the supps estimated to last for many years. He observes, naort&Ver, that an easy communication w s i fertile,ng g ro u t n h d e s may be open e d w i t h the coal mines of Hoshungabad and Nursingp ore , an d that charcoal with proper coalings cannot possibly cos t more than 4s. per ton.

PORTSMOUTII, Nov, 3_ The new screw-frigate Shannon, 51 guns, Captain W. Peel, C. 8., went out of harbour to-day, and anchored at Spithead, to take on board her shot and shell prior to leaving for the Mediterranean. She went out in admir able style and condition, and hundreds of peeple congre gated on the beach to see this beautiful frigate leave. She went out with steadiness and speed against a strong tide, although only two of her boilers were at work, it being considered unneces,ary to consume fuel by having all her boilers at work. The engines worked beautifully. They are Penn's patent trunk enganes of 600-horse power. This is, however, only their nominal power, for they will, if required, work up to 1.400. The Shannon's speed was not put to the test to-day, as it had been tried before, when she made over 12 knots per hour. When she has taken her shot, shell, &c., on board, another trial will probably be made. The Hannibal, 91, screw-ship, Captain hay, is receiv ing a few repairs at Spithead. When they are com pleted sl-e will leave for the Mediterranean. The Salamander, 6, paddle-sloop, Commander Me• cham, arrived to-day from Madeira.

This morning the whole of the Royal Artillery in gar rison assembled on the common, and were inspected by the Commandant, Sir W. F. Williams', Bart. The Royal Horse Artillery and the battalions of Foot Artillery were then headed by the commandant and staff (accompanied by the Royal Artillery band), proceeded in marching order from the common along the London and Dover road, and returned to garrison by the Old Charlton-road. Although the number of military in garrison has been decreased in consequence of several companies having recently left Woolwich for other stations, the muster this morning presented a most imposing appearance, and at no former period has the Regivnent of Royal Artillery been in a more efficient state than at present. This afternoon the officers and men of the Woolwich Division of Royal Marines assembled on parade, and after inspec tion by the Commandant, Col. Brown, proceeded on a march of about two miles along the Woolwich and Charl ton Upper-road. Lieut.-Col. W. H. Elliott, R.A., and Lieut.-Col. G. Markham, R.A., have been permitted to exchange places on the roster, and the former will proceed to St. Helena to relieve Col. Hill. Lieut.-Col. Graydoi., R.A., has bee❑ ordered to pro ceed to Malta. Lieut.-Col. Walpole, Royal Engineers, is ordered home from Gibraltar, where he is second in command to Col. Ward, to assume the command of the detachment stationed at Woolwich. Lieutenant Boileau, RE., is ordered to leave Woolwich for Malta, and Lieutenant Crossman, of the same corps, is to be stationed in Lon don. Industry, steam store-vessel, left the harbour this day with a full carg of boilers and machinery for vessels fitting at Plymouth aad Devonport. Balaklava, screw ordnance vessel, arrived off the Royal Arsenal Pier this day with a cargo of shot and shell from Portsmouth. • CHATHAM, Nov. 3. The Hood, 80, which has been cut in half and "half launched," for the purpose of being lengthened 40 feet, is making considerable progress, and an extra number of shipwrights have been put on in order to have her completed by the earliest possible time. Her lower beams have been all lald, and it is intended that she shall be fitted with a screw. The Renown, 91, screw steamer, is so far completed that the caulkers have clinmeneed caulking her. It is intended that she shall be completed and launched early in the forthcoming year. The Goliath, 80, in dock, is to have some extensive alterations made in her, in order to be fitted as a screw steamer. The Hero, 90, and the Irresistible, 80, building, are both to be fitted with screws. The former vessel is in a very advanced state, and will shortly be completed. The Racoon, 20, and the Charybdis, 20, two screw corvettes, are to be completed forthwith. The former vessel was laid down in March last, and the latter in May ; they are both building from the designs of Sir Baldwin Walker, K.C.B , Surveyor of the Navy. Seve ral improvements have been made in thie description of vessel since the Cadmus, 20, was constructed at Chat ham dockyard. The Irresistible, 80, is intended to be fitted with a sore v.

SIEGE OPERATIONS BY NIGHT AT CHATHAM' ....---.---......---- CHATHAM, Nov. 3. It having become publicly known throughout the towns this morning that some interesting siege operatiois would take place on Chatham Great Lines during the night, and by the time fixed for the assembling of the troops, viz., half-past six, a very considerable number of persona had collected round the barracks, at which time the Royal Engineers, and the Hoc. East India Com pany's Sappers and Miners, to the number of about 1,000 men, assembled on .parade in marching order with their field tools for working, and at 7 o'clock they were marched in separate divisions to the ground in charge of Lieut. Lempriere, R.E., who took the command of the working party of the Royal Engineers of the left attack ; and Major Sidley, R.E., with a strong working party, pro ceeded to take the party of the right attack, whilst Capt. Walker, R E., took charge of the force under his command, and was assisted by Lieut. Thorold and En sign Scott, of the Hon. East India Company's service, and proceeded to the Garrison, Fort Amherst, in order to defend it against the enemy. Major Ha;sard, R.E., assisted by Lieut. Phillips, R.E., were the officers who had the general arrangement of the operations. Capt. Cumberland, R.E., assisted by several Engineer officers, directed tho right attack, with a portion of offi cers from the provisional battalion, and a large body of troops belonging to regiments of the line ; and Capt. 11. Schaw, R.E. Lieut. Hume, and Lieut. Keith, R.E., at tended the field officers of the provisional battalion and troops under their command, in the left attack. On the sound of the bugle the troops commenced trac ing the ground, forming parallels, half sunken and ele vated batteries, and as the night was dark the troops were assisted by a number of lights used by the army in tracing and bull's eyes ; the operations of the siege commenced, extending from the brow of the hill on the left of Chatham lines to the front opposite to the Black Lion Inn, New Brompton, on the right, at the general distance of 500 yards, a point in the prolonga tion of the capital of the Kin g 's Bastion. The tracing having been completed the signal was given for a regular attack. A patrol of Royal Engineers was sent out from the garrison to attack the besiegers, and on their falling in with the out-pickets Of the enemy a brisk fire was opened on them by the working par! y in the entrenched works. The whole of the working party, extending nearly three-qaarters of a mile, stood to their arms, and shortly after a heavy firing commenced on the garrison, the patrols leaving behind them fire-balls on the glacis in order to see their way into the garrison. The garrison, in return, opened a tremendous fire of artillery from Fort Amherst ; the guns were manned by the Royal Marines (Licht Infantry), the ramparts being lined by the Royal Engineers, who acted as infantry, k eep i ng up a raking fire of musketry from one end of the line of fortifications to the other • fire-balls - and blue li g ht s were lit up on the salient angles of the bastion, under the charge of Quartermaster Bradford, which threw a bril liant light over the country for miles. The troops in the garrison sent a party as a patrol from the works, but owing to the lights they were soon discovered by the besieging patrols to be the enemy ;they were then d r i ven back under a sharp fire of musketry, and the firing was kept up by the troops protecting the parallels and bat teries with considerable spirit, and as nothing could be seen but the reflection from the firing, the musketry and field pieces of artillery had altogether a very im posing effect. During the firing the Spur Battery and the King's Bastion became brilliantly lighted with fire balls and blue lights, and their reflection produced a most magnificent sight, having the appearance of a large town on fire. The whole of the proceedings were considered per fectly satisfactory to Colonel Sandham and the whole of the staff-officer' win were present. It was very late bsfore the troops were called to go to their barracks. They were marched off in columns. About 4,000 persons were present on the lines to wit ness this interesting military spectacle.

Assuming au air of consequence he induced many to believe he was special coLespendent of a London paper sent to this island by the especial desire of Lord Palmer ston. He claimed his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge as his particular friend ; hinted at certain private claims that made the duke anxious to serve him ; he exhibited an alleged private note from his Royal Highness to corroborate his state• ment. He not only stated he was also in the Duke of Buckingham's confidence, was acquainted with his secrets, and was his guide and director, but affirmed he had 7001. per annum from kis grace, as a considsration for money he had advanced. him some years ago, to the amount of 10,000/. ; and he actually furnished a house in the vici nity of Valetta, which he pretended to be very anxious to have arranged in the best order, as the duke was coming to stay the winter with him in Malta. His great political influence, and his friendship with his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, and his Grace the Duke of Buckingham, aided by his connection with the English press, had induced, he said, the Earl of Clarendon to offer him, in a private letter, a con sulate in the Black Sea, or any other office in his gift. He introduced everywhere a young female he called his wife ; and. had the audacity to put him self forward as a candidate fur an elected member of the council of government. In several instances he borrowed money under false pretences, whi c h he forgot to return ; and incurred debts wherever he could obtain credit ; some of which he paid in worthless cheques. Amongst other ingenious triel - A he invited a party to dine with him on a particula r day, including some high officials, but as he t‘Jok care to embark for Marseilles on the day prece.h . fig, they were cheated of their repast no less than o'i his ' choice company, and thus by a clever ruse he effected without suspicion his departure from the island, which it appears had become too wa. , :m for him. His dishonest dealings did not en cf. here ; for, taking passage in a government tranF;port, he paid for his food with a bill whichwas dislaunoured Since his departure, it has come to lir-slit that he came to this island to avoid the consee,uences of a most disreputable bankruptcy in Eugland ; and that the lady he paraded as his wife had no right to that title. Many in Malta have coause to regret having been deceived by his specious pleadings. It is to be hoped that this will prove a warning to the community at large, and will put people on thefr guard as to the credence and credit to be given to individuals who so largely trumpet their own importance, means, and connections." THE ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND NORTH- WESTERN RAIL TWA On Friday Mr. Worley, coroner for the county of Buckingham, opened an inquiry at the Globe Inn, Han - elope, respecting the death of Benjami❑ Pike, aged 22, lately a fireman in the service of the London and Nor th- Western Railway Company, who died from injuries received in the collision which took place on Wednissday last. Jonathan Oscar, driver of the engine which broke away from the luggage train, stated that when he found his engine had become detached, he ran on about a mile and a quarter, believing the train would follow him about that distance. He then stopped, in order that deceased, who was his fireman, might go back and signal the guard or breaksman. The fog at that time was very dense, and he could neither see nor hear the advancing train, which struck his tender immediately he stoppesl the engine. He opened the regulator, to set his engine in motion, the moment be saw the train. He had in tended to have gone on after setting Pike down. The violence of the concussion flung him completely over the boiler, and he could not say what occurred afterwards. The train must have separated by the couplings break ing, as he had not slackened his speed since leaving Blisworth. John Davis, the breaksman to the train, said that a short time before the collision he found that the train, had slackened speed, but the fog prevented him from di d. covering the cause. He kept expecting a signal frra n the engine. He had no means of signalling the drier, and he did not apply the break, fearing that if the engine put on more power the couplings would give way. The ' collision was the first intimation that he had that any thing was wrong. Taking into consideration the weignt of the train, with the two "dead" engines in front, he believed that if the driver had warned him by his whistle to apply his break, it would have taken him more than a mile to stop his train after the engine had beeome de tached. Immediately upon the collision occurring he severed the telegraph wire, and went back to stop the next coming train, which he met about a quart , ar of a mile behiiid them. The jury desired to be informed what the witness meant by severing the telegraph wire Mr. M'Connell explained that among the more recent improvements adopted by the London and North Wes tern Railway Company for securing perfect safety of travelling over their line, had been the establishment of a "special train telegraph," with signal stations every two miles. At each station a policeman was •n duty night and day, in whose watch-box there was a telegraph dial with a single needle. By inclining Oats needle to the left hand the person in charge gave ne.tiee to the next station that a train had passed on to the two miles of road entrusted to his special care ; while inclining it to the right hand would show that the train had passed off that portion of the line. There were in fact but two signals, "train on" and "train off ;" but as it might happen, as in this ca-e, that an accident occurred upon the two miles of road between the telegraph stations, the guard and breaksmen were instructed instantly to sever the "special train wire," which had the effect of placing the needle at each adjacent station in an upright position. The policemen on duty at once became aware by this movement that something was wrong, and could act according to circumstances. Several of the jury remarked that the system appeared to be well calculated to prevent accidents. Mr. M'Connell said, if the signals were properly at tended to, a collision, in the ordinary sense of the term, was impossible. The system, however, induced a rigidity of practice which, though essentially productive of safety to travellers, doubtless, almost necessarily occa sioned delays when any derangement occurred. The " train telegraph" had only one code, and the policemen in charge were not able to carry on a conversation by it. The wire was placed about half w a y u p th e ordi nary telegraph posts, andin this instance had not been injured by the accident, though the ordinary intelli gence wires had been destroyed. This train telegraph at pre sent existed from London to Rugby, and was in process of extension over the whole system of the London and North Western lines. The witness proceeded to describe the steps he took to prevent accidents to other trains. His belief was that the driver had not time to have reversed his engine, and therefore could not have been meeting the train when the collision occurred. Thomas Bostick, a platelayer, and Richard Bolter, signal policeman at the Ashton Bank telegraph station, having been examined, portions of a coupling iron which had been found near the scene of collision were produced. The hook had been snapped asunder, but there seemed to be no flmv nor indication of weakness in the metal. Medical evidence showed that a rupture in the region of the kidney was the cause of deceased's death. The Coroner, in summing up, said the only question was, had the driver, Oscar, by any proceeding on hie part, occasioned the collision ? He had himself declared that his engine had not been reversed, and this statement was corroborated by other witnesses. It might be un fortunate that he had not sounded his whistle to give warning to the brcaksman to use his endeavours to stop the train, but the breaksman had &posed that , applied th e b rea k, h e did not b e li eve he couldhad he could hav e brought hi s t ra i n up i n t h e ; di stance run . b attributable no heavy f accidentug which was, i np prevailed u l ed firstT h instance,reend the only qu es ti on was , did th e j ury consider fifteen occurred ? The jury retired, and after about ~ individual responsible in a criminal degree for what bad liberation they returned into court , upon foreman announced that they had unanimously agreed nziwnhuitcehs' thede upon a verdict of accidental death.
