FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Friday night, about eight o'clock, a gentleman was getting out of the London train at the Lime-street station, Liverpool, before the car riages had come to a full stop, when he slipped between the platform and the wheels. When taken out he was found to have received a fearful gash oq the head, his arms were dislocated, and nearly all of his ribs fractured. He faintly implored those who were assisting him not to touch him, but to let him die. He was, however, taken to the Royal Infirmary, where be died in half an hour after his admission. The name of the unfortunate gen tleman is Thomas Underhill, and he resided at 42, Far ringdon-street, Loneioe. THE LATE MURDEROUS ASSAULT AT CROYDON.—At 5 o'clock yesterday morning, Staines, alias Bright, gave himself up to he police at the Croydon station, and was examined before the maeistratea a few hours after.

Prisoner then said (alluding to Maisel find Mrs. Belton), "There were six of one and half a dozen of the other." He said he knew he should be "grabbed," and so he thought he would give himself up. Mrs. Belton had been insulting him, and he had hit iter with a chopper which was in the room. Mr. George Cooper, surgeon, having deposed that Mrs. Belton was still in a da. gerous condition, and unconscious of a'l matters in connection with the affair, the prisoner was remanded.

In compliance with a promise given on his last visit to Edinburgh, M. Kossuth delivered an address to the working classes there on Saturday evening last. A re quisition had previously been tendered to him, which, as he stated in his address, was 64 feet long, with a double row of signatures. The meeting was held in a large Congregational Church, and was crowded to ex cess. Mr. Black, M.P.„ presided, and introduced the lecturer by a few sympathetic remarks. M. KOSSUTH then-addressed the meeting on the state of _the continent and the cennection betweon European liberty and British interests. The great war is over, he said, the dead, are buried,' the money is spent, the Te Deities are chanted, and the Czar is crowned. If any one is able to tell what people on earth are the better for that war, he certainly ought to change places with me, as he must know more of invisible mysteries than I do. (Applause.) Southey's verees on the battle of Blenheim may not inaptly be made to apply to more recent vic tories— " And everybody praised the Duke who this great fight did win, " But what good came of it at last?' quoth little Peterkin. " ' Why, that I cannot tell,' says he, " But 'twas a famous victory.'" Now, read Sebastopol for Blenheim, and the tale is told. (Cheers.) Turkey, poor sick man, is now really sick past recovery. Even I, with all the partiality with which private affection and public interest inspire me far Turkey, now despair of her future. We may now speak of her as " The lingering star of lessening ray." Moldo-Wallachia has been relieved by Austria of the trouble of looking after her own affairs ;.a now lid of stone has been rolled on the leaden coffin wherein the immortal dead, Poland, is slumbering Circassia and Asia Minor are given tip to Russian influence, and Rucrian fleets are now sweeping down the British channel to wards the Bay of Naples, to support the Divine right of lashing at Royal pleasure the martyrs of Pro cida, for some of whom, and not for Italian liberty, the Western Governments are vainly remonstrating with the frantic Bourbons of Naples. The mushroom dynasty of France still stands, Austria rejoices in a little further lengthening of her shadow, and the state of con tinental Europe is substantially the same as it was before the war. After describing the successive steps by which the Holy Alliance had sought to fetter and extinguish representative government and the freedom of the press, M. Kossuth contended that Britain had not taken the part worthy of her power in opposing the progress of the despotic system. He was inclined to think it would have been better for the interests of humanity and freedom had she totally abstained from any participation in European politics rather than have reduced her influence to pawer less protests, which could but serve, as they have actually served, to encourage the despotic conspiraters in their course by showing them that they have nothing to fear from the British nation. (Hear, hear.) A great Power either ought not to speak,' or it should give effect to its words. (Cheers.) To point to an injustice and yet to . . . .. submit to it is tantamount to acknowledging the supre macy of the oppressor. He then pointed to what he called one bright spot in the reccrds of British foreign policy— namely, when George Canning so determinately resisted the efforts of despotism that the uplifted arms of the despots fell before his werd- , , and when under his genius England stood forth with her head high, a lion amid crouching dogs, and first amid the Powers of the earth, because the champion of right and justice. A cry of enthusiasm went through the land as the manifestoes of that eminent Minister went forth, and the despots felt they dare not challenge Great Britiin, because they knew her strength and power would be irresistible, for whole nations would rally round the banner of national inde pendence which she so proudly upheld. Oh, that Can ning had lived till 184 S ! Then not all the Czars in the woild would have dared to raise a finger against the independence of Hungary. We should have been frse and happy ; Italy would have been free ; you would have neen spared the late resultiess war, and would still be the first, nation under the canopy of heaven. (Cheers.) But as Mr. Roebuck had said, " England has now only to do what her big brother chooses." He went on to say that under the impious sway of the despotic system all was 'at present dark- Less, depression, and desolation on the continent. This was a state of matters well fitted to engage the patriotic solicitude of the British people—a people wiser in their incorrupted instincts than those elders in Israel who continued to offer the incense of propitiation to the golden calf of successful crime. (Loud cheers.) The interests of Britain, who had to preserve liberty, were perfectly identical with those who had to reconquer it. Great principles, he proceeded to say, derive safety from extension alone. A principle that does not extend itself is doomed to wither like a sapless tree. The despots of the continent perfectly understand the truth, and have succeeded but too well in carrying it out. The Ameri can slaveholders, with their oligarchy of eolour—the worst of all oligarchies—understand it ) and are- ready to risk life, fortune, and even the existence of the Ame rican union, for the extension of their execrable system. Principles good or bad rsse subsist only by extension. It is indeed the hereditary curse of mankind that virtue should be blind, but vice ever active and far-seeing ! This country is now the only one in which representa tive government is still standing, and you may believe me that hatred—inexorable, implacable, hatred—of this country is with the despots of Europe the thought of their waking hours and the dream of their restless sleep. And how could it be otherwise when, though purple crime walks there with dilated front, incorruptible public opinion here brands it with the stigma of iufamy, and holds it up to the execration of the contemporary age, and to the reprobation of future history ? How should they not hate this country when the poor, homeless exile may speak as I am speaking, and raise au echoing thunder cf approbation from the lips of millions ? (Cheers.) M. Kossuth then referred to the internal state of Britain, and to the urgency for various re forms, especially the further political recognition of the democratic element and those measures required for the social amelioration of the working classes. He said that what stopped the course of legisla tion in this country was the unsettled state of the con tinent, and that this country would never be able to pursue in quiet her domestic legislation, or carry out peacefully her commercial enterprise, her burdens light ened, till the nationalities of Europe were emancipated. As an instance of the connection between national liberty abroad and reform a thome, he might remind them how soon the Reform Bill was conceded after the French Revolution of 1830. He concluded by saying, —but shall we part in anguish and despondency ? Shall we not rather part in cheerfulness and hope ? The darker the night the nearer the dawn. (Loud cheers.) As Robert the Bruce once said, "In man's most high necessity oft succour dawns from Heaven." The fears of tyrants, the restlessness of diplomatists, the con science of nations, the air, the soil, the sky, all announce the dawn. The idea of nationality has impressed its stamp on the character of the continental movement, and that idea is unconquerable. "All for each, and each for all" will be the war cry of the future among the oppressed nations. Fraternity is not a mere word any longer, but the sling of David with which the Goliath of tyranny shall fall. (Cheers.) What is it that now stands between us and that consummation? What stands between the raising of the world's arm and its falling on the neck of despotism ? It is the momentary success of one man—only one man, a poor worm of the dust, doomed to return to dust—and his name is Louis Napoleon Bonaparte. (Cheers.) Sir, Ido not believe in the stability of successful crime. (Renewed cheers.) I will venture to contrast my own humble lot with the brilliant one of that potentate. I eat with my children the bitter bread of homelessness ; I am staggering joyless towards an obscure grave. For inheritance my children may get a legacy of sorrow, yet of devotion to their country's cause. Such is their lot, but, whatever may be my faults, my errors, or even my sins, never have I broken oaths, never have I deceived nations, never trifled with the duties of an honest patriot. (Loud cheers.) Bonaparte, on the contrary, sits high in power, dazzling the eyes of short-sighted man with the lustre of his propitious star. Still I do not believe in the stability of successful crime. (Loud cheers.) From the depths of my desolation I turn my eyes to the universe, and from the stars in the firmament down to the atom of dust at my feet I see creation crying out aloud that there is a God. The feeble spark of His eternal spirit glimmering in my brain, my reason revolts against the thought that it should lie at the mercy of ad venturous crime to break the eternal chain of moral laws which, by the sovereign decree of an omnipotent and self-consistent will, have ruled the world since creation dawned, and will rule it to the consummation of time. My reason revolts against the thought that a worm, the offspring of the dust, can with impunity defy those laws by wbieh the Eternal Lawgiver has bound not only the fluctuations of human events, but has bound even his own immoveable will. No : I do not believe in the stability of successful crime. (Cheers.) I turn my regard from the universe to history, the mirror of the future, because the record of the past, and I see that crime sometimes may have flashed up with the dazzling blaze of a passing moment, but the success of crim e never yet did last, therefore never shall. (Cheering.) I ask you, therefore, to have faith in the future—a fruitful faith, not mere lip worship. Free working men, do not underrate yeur own power. The voice of one of you m ay but resemble a tender girl's sigh, but the united voice of the people is sometimes the thunder in which God reveals His decrees. There was a time when the voice of Britain burst out with a loud cry of sym pathy for Hungary. We were grateful for it, but it was of no avail, because too late. Had it been uttered six months earlier, not one Cossack would have desecrated the soil of my native land—the voice of the British poop's would have reached the proud palace of the Czar, sand arrested him in his design. That same voice heard at Westminster would have stirred the elect of the people, and that Minister who then turned coldly away from Hungary would have felt the strength and spirit of George Canning, and would have cried out to the Czar—" Hands off ! or else, while Great Britain has an arm to raise, it shall be raised for liberty !" and down would have gone the uplifted arm of the Czar before the British people's voice. (Loud cheers.) Oh, let it not be "too late" again. (Cheers.) The horizon is trembling with the reflected as light of the rising sun of liberty. Be you,people free _ you are, the lark to greet the morn l (Cheers.) Rase i Gr DE , CEMBER 2 1856. uNDON, TUESDAY EVFMN , THE ART TREASU.RE3 EXHIBITION.

FI:ENCII RAILWAYS. • The Moniteur of yesterday publishes a report from M. Rouher, the Minister of Public Works, on the railways of France, recommending that the railway companies shall be allowed to issue new scrip to the value of 214,000,000 f. (8,560,0001.) in the course of the year 1857. The report is as follows : " REPORT TO THE EMPEROR. Paris, Nov. 30. " Sire,—Your Government is called upon to regulate for the year 1857 the degree of activity to be given to the great railway enterprises. " I have the honour, agreeably to your Majesty's orders, to submit to you a resume of the principal facts of tho two preceding years, and the judgment (appreciation) I have formed, after a careful investigation, of the resources ne cessary for the companies to carry' on the next campaign• "In a report submitted to your Majesty in 1855 my pre. deeessor stated the immense movement which, sinto 1852, had manifested itself in every branch'of national labour, and which especially gave so marked a development to our railway network. " That network (mewl), the length of which was 3,6C0 kilometres at the commencement of the revolution of Feb ruary, and which remained stationary during thethree years of political agitation and commercial stagnation which fol lowed, was increased on the 31st of Dec., 1854, by succes sive concessions, to 9,236 kil ome t res . Th e l eng th worked had progressed with equal rapidity. It was 1,850 kilos. in Feb., 1848, and at the end of 1854 it was 4,647 kilos. " The commencement of the year 1855 was marked by new and important concessions. Districts for a length of time devoid of any rapid moans of comrattnication have 'been { enabled to enjoy this blessing, which in our modern civilisation had. become an essential conditioi of prosperity, almost, of existence, for a country. " Provisional conventions concluded by my predecessor with the Orleans and Grand Central Companies, and, moreover, with the Lyons, Orleans, and Grand Central united—conventions sanctioned at a, later period by the decrees of the 7th of April and the 20th of June, 1855 have given legitimate satisfaction to the principal interests of Normandy, of Bretagne, and of Central France. "In February, 1855, when the confidence of your Majesty deigned to call me to the office of Agriculture, Commerce, and Public Works, the concessions realised or finally decreed comprised a total, extent of 11,250 kilo metres*; a length of 4,647 kilometres was open to traffic; and the works to be finished or completed comprised 6,603 kilometres of the lines granted. " If this general condition of railway enterprises realised in the present and promised for the future ever fruitful sources of public prosperity, the works to be executed ren dered it necessary to employ a large portion of the savings of the country, and imposed a hard task upon private in dustry. " The Administration of Public Works had therefore momentarily to restrict itself to a less enticing part, per haps a more modest bat not a less useful one—namely, to regulate with prudence the progress of the enterprises com menced, and to avoid every dispersion of strength . or re sources by adjourning further concessions. " The campaigns of 1855 and 1855, guided by these views and devoted exclusively to the continuation of the lines 'conceded, produced results the full importance of which I trust your Majesty will appreciate. " In the coarse of 1855 the great trunk line from Lyons to the Mediterranean, the non-completion of which was, under so many grave circumstances, a sort of public cala mity, saw the break filled up which still interrupted cir culation between Lyons and Valence. The Normandy line was opened as far as Caen. The line from Bourdeanx to Bayonne, already open to Dax, was thrown open to its whole extent. The Chemin du Midi was finished between Bordeaux and Tonneins. Various important sections were, moreover, completed by the Northern, Eastern, Lyons, and Grand Central Companies. " The total length of the sections opened in the course of the campaign amounted to 809 kilometres. The total length of network open to traffic on the 31st of December, 1855, amounted, therefore, to 5,537 kilometres, while the extent of lines unfinished was reduced to 5,713 kilome tres. " The campaign of 1856 was not less productive than that of 1853. Already, in August, the Chemin du Midi reach ed Toulouse ; at the end of December, or early next year, the line from Toulouse to Cette will be open all the way. The branch to Lyons, so long delayed by unforeseen cir cumstances, and the non-completion of which was seriously detrimental to commerce, was recently opened. There is no break now on this great line of 860 kilometres, which unites Marseilles and Paris. "Limoges and Niort have been joined to the Orleans line; Fecamp and Alenfjou to the Western line; Pecan9on and Gray to the Paris and Lyons lino ; Aix to the line from Lyons to the Mediterranean ; Bourg to the Lyons and Geneva line; other sections belonging to the Eastern, Paris, and Lyons, St. Rambert to Grenoble, Grand Cen tral, and Graissessac to Beziers lines are already open, or will shortly be completed. "The total length of the sections open, or to be opened in 1856, amounts to 063 kilometres. "Thus at the commencement of 1857, or the ensemble of the network of railways, comprising a total length of 11,250 kilometres, the lines worked will present an extent of 6,500 kilometres; and there will only remain 4,750 kilo metres to be completed. "It is important to state the amount of expense ren dered necessary by the execution of so vast an enterprise. It is not even without interest, as information, to indicate either the proportions according to which the expenses are divided between the prinCipal periods which have marked the last 34 years, or the contributive portion which, during the same period, has fallen Upon the State. " The years between 1823 and 1830 were for railways a time of experiment and trial, in which the companies spent annually on an average about 470,000 francs. The State gave them no aid. " In the 12 years which followed the revolution of July, the indecision as to what system for the construction of railways should be adopted, th,e little confidence these new speculations inspired, paralysed their development. Thus the expenditure on an average did not exceed 14,350,000 f. annually incurred by the companies. They State only came forward with an annual outlay of 270,000 f. "The law of the 11th of Sune;lB42, gave a new impulse to railway enterprises; from 1812 to 1847 the annual out lays reached on an average 85,000,000 f. for the companies and 46,400,000 f. for the State. " From 1848 to December, 1851, when ,politioal cares dried up the fountains of credit, the annual outlays of the companies fell, on an average, to 50,000,000 f., and the sacrifices of the State to 75,000,000 f. annually. " But, dating from 1852, when healthy confidence was restored and new institutions gave to France safety and faith in the future, the parts were changed. The annual expenditure of the companies increased in a remarkable proportion, amounting to the average of 216,000,00014 the sacrifices of the Treasury diminished no less rapidly, and were reduced to the annual sum of 17,000,000 f., in compensation for repayments made by the companies in virtue of new concessions. "Finally, under the incessant action of credit and of keneral prosperity, the outlay of the companies reached in 1855 the sum of 430,000,000 f., and, in 1856, 458,000,000 f., while those of the State, deducting repayments, only amounted for those two years to 30,000,000 f. " The resume of these figures, which mark the progress of public confidence, shows that the construction of the network of French railways has, up to the present, cost 3,080,000,000 f., of which 661,000,000 f. fall to the charge of the State, and 2,419,000,000 f. to the charge of the compa nies. To this outlay the years 1855 and 1856 have alone co-operated to the enormous amount of 919,000,000 f. " Certainly such outlays and such efforts, asked from the country at the same time that it supported in a distant land a great and glorious war—when it patriotically sub scribed to national loans of unprecedented amount—when other works gave health and splendour to our great cities, display the admirable activity and the powerful resources of the empire; but they also explain and justify the pru dential measures adopted by your Majesty in 1855, and your official resolve, published in the 11foniteur of the 9th of last March, not to grant any new concession in 1856. " It would have been as well if the spirit of speculation had not exposed itself to a risk, by going beyond our fron tiers in search of new enterprises, in rendering less effica cious those wise precautions recently imitated by other Powers; but , it suffices for the interests of public credit that the attention of the Government continues to be directed to these enterprises. "At the present moment the general condition of the railways is free from its heaviest charges. The completion of the lines conceded does not demand an outlay exceeding 1,2E0,000,000f., of which 230,000,000 f. are to be provided by the State. The delays in completing the works have been carefully graduated by the regulations. These delays comprise a period of ten years, and it must be further added that the works of the sections which are to be opened to traffic in the course of the next three years are far ad vanced. _ _ _____ " The increasing movement of the revenues of the com panies is, moreover, of a nature to inspire public confidence• The net produce, which in 1847 was 22,000 f. per kifometre I fell suddenly to 13,600 f. in 1851; but since 1852, and despite the addition of secondary lines, its gradual increase has been as follows : Francs. 1852 . 1853 1854 " This produce received an exceptional impulse in 1855 * 684 kilometres, tho concession of which was decreed titre eventuet, are not included iu the 11,250 kilometres. from the Universal Exhibition, and rose to 30,300 f. ; but if that amount is not reached in the present year the in crease is not the less visible on 1854, for, acco4ding to the returns of the first three quarters, the net produce of 1656 promises to be 28,000 f. at least per kilometre. " It is on consideration of these facts, all of thorn re assuring and favourable, that must he determined the im portance of the scrip to be realised (des valeurs a realiscr) by the companies in 1856 ; and this determination im plies the solution of two questions :—What kind of scrip shall the companies be allowed to issue ? (Qtmlle nature de titres les compagnies devront-alles etre antorisees a emettre ?) What is the amount they are to be allowed to issue ? " When your Majesty, avoiding the double danger of a division, or of too great a concentration, in concessions of railways to be granted to companies, constituted those en terprises on a broad basis, which assured to, thew a con siderable credit, you conceded the execution of secondary lines to them of great importance to the populations of the empire, even should these lines appear to be likely to be less productive than the great lines already worked. "The companies were authorised to procure the neces sary capital for the execution of these lines by moans of loans. The interest of these loans was to be fully covered by the revenues of the new sections; consequently, far from troubling the economy of tho original enterprise, they wore, on the contrary, to improve the revenues by the sole development of the general circulation. "If, since that period, owing to new, ,coucessions, the Government has been able to ask itself what would be the most suitable proportion to establish between the capital to be realised by shares and the capital to be sought from a loan, that examination never reacted upon the power of issuing shares (obligations) consecrated to the profit of the companies by their conditions of contract (cahiers de charges). The full exercise of this peirer was never for a moment ignored by the Administration of Public Works, and will, consequently, still be the rule followed now. " What is the amount of new scrip the issue of which is to be authorised? " The estimate imposed a delicate task upon me, for it brought in contact different and, at times; opposite interests. "The resources of public credit must be carefully econo mised, and it is necessary not to exceed the power of the labour which the country can annually provide, without disturbing the regular action of agriculture. Bat it must not be forgotten that populations for a long time neglected eagerly await the moment when the railways will touch their districts, and that that moment has been fixed by the Sovereign ; labour must also be provided for thousands of workmen spread over all parts of the empire, and their welfare maintained. Finally, it concerns the public purse, as an interest worthy of the protection and of the sympathy of the Government, that the large amount of capital en gaged in enterprises under course of execution should not remain too long unproductive in consequence of the non completion of the lines in which it is invested. In the care ful examination to which I submitted every demand that was made to me I have endeavoured to conciliate all these int rats, and I firmly believe that I have given them a just r,' `rw on by fixing at 214,000,000 f. the total sum of the new scrip (la somme totals des valeurs nouvelles) which the ' companies shall be authorised to issue in the course of 1857. " Independently of this sum the companies may turn to account their disposable capital (pOurrent utiliser lour actif disposible), the subventions of the state, the funds they have to receive from their shares, and the obligations already issued. "The ensemble of these resources less by about 100,000,000 f. than the sums expended in 1856 will not the less allow all the workshops to be in active employment, the sections to be opened at the time appointed by the cahiers de charges, and even the dates on certain important sections to be anticipated. " I, moreover, was perfectly of the same opinion as the Minister of Finances in thinking that an issue of new scrip, thus limited, could not came either strait or embarrass ment to publis credit. It suffices to be convinced to re member the importance of the appeals made to credit in 1855 and 1856, and the circumstances under which they took place. "To-day, Sire, the crisis in the price of food, still felt painfully in some of the departments, has lost that general character which made it so serious ; the last instalments of the loans made by the State will be paid into the Treasury chest in February next ; the new capital required from savings will therefore be easily obtained. These demands will, moreover, be successive and graduated, according to the wants of the companies. Then, capital employed on the territory in productive labour is soon returned, and rapidly forms an additional saving. "I am therefore confident, Sire, that, after having shielded the interests of actual enterprises, it will not be impossible for your Government for the extension of out w aye , especially as regards the network of the north and the lines of the Dauphine. " I am confident that the populations of the Pyrenees will see the realisation of the hopes consecrated by a recent law, and that your Majesty will be able to intrust a com pany with the continuation of the works which, in the idea of exalted solicitude, you gave me the order to see carried out in the Pyrenean network.

As was anticipated, the English mail of the 26th of September, which reached Bombay on the 23d of last month, brought out final orders regarding the Persian expedition, directing its immediate de spatch. Some days previous to the arrival of the mail the constitution of an " expeditionary field force for foreign service beyond sea" bad appeared iu general orders. Major-Gen. Stalker, C. 8., was eppoini • 1 to the chief command. To the command of the Ist Infantry Brigade, consisting of her Ma jesty's 64th and 20th Native Infantry,...Col. Stop ford, of the former regiment, was nominated • and to that of the 211, Col. Honner, of the 4th Native Infantry (Rifles), having under his orders his own corps, the 2d Bombay Europeans, and the 2d Be looch Battalion. The cavalry portion of the force was given to Lieut.-Col. Tapp, of the Poonah Irre • gulag Horse, with two troops of his own men and two squadrons of the 3d Light Cavalry. Two com panies of Sappers and Miners, under Major Hill, of the Engineers, and artillery (one troop and on e field battery), under Lieutenant. Colonel Trevalyan, complete the details of the force, which may num ber in all, as I have before mentioned, something more than 5,000 men. The two regiments of the Ist Brigade, which were both stationed at Bel gaum, have by this time reached their port of em barkation, Vingorla. Two of the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamers, the Pottinger and the Precursor, each it ith a sailing vessel in tow, left the harbour for Vingorla two days ago. The light cavalry stationed at Rajcote, in the peninsula' of Kattywar, will embark from the native port of Porebunder, on that coast, while two regiments of the 2d Brigade will take ship at Kurrachee. The rest of .the force will sail from Bombay, and the flotilla in the harbour, augmented by the transports and steamers on their return from ✓ Vingorla, will number probably upwards of 30 sail. The total number of sailing vessels engaged as ;transports is 26, with an aggregate of 24,000 tens, to which is to be added 6,000 tons for three vessels of the Pen insular and (Mental Company, and those belong ing to the Bombay Steam Navigation Company. It is expected that the fleet will sail about the 10th inst. Sir Henry Leeke, Commander-in-Chief of the Indfau Navy, and a Rear- Admiral of the reserved list of the Royal Navy, hoists his flag on board the Feroze, in command of the naval portion of the expedition. Under him are several officers of much experience in the Persian waters. The first point for which the fleet will make is Bassadore, the station of the Indian navy in the Persian Gulf. Thence they will probably move up to the Gulf, and occupy the island of Karrack, or lihareg, a dreary and desolate spot, but important and convenient for operations against the ports of the mainland in general and Bushire in particular. Accordingly, it is prolable that with all practicable despatch Bushire will be summoned to surrender, and in the event of a refusal will have its defences shattered by the gunboats of the fleet and be taken fore(ble possession of. Earthworks or other forti fications of a more scientific character than those ( hey replace will then be thrown up, and the place will be occupied by the troops, pending the sub mission or &fiance of the Shah. Should the spirit of that Sovereign not give way at the first blow operations in the interior will be necessary, and for this purpose the small force about to be despatched from Bombay will be totally inadequate. Even already rumours are abroad of troops to be sent to the westward through one or both of the famous passes whose names were so well known through out England 15 years ago—the Khyber and the Bolan. Such reports, though as I believe unfounded at present, are nevertheless not unlikely to be re- • newed with form and consistency hereafter. In the direction of the latter of the two above-named mountain gorges more than oue British officer has already proceeded from Calcutta or Bombay, pre sumably with the view of arranging with our ally the Khan of lihelat for the formation of a contin gent force in his territories, which lie exposed to the Shah, should Southern Affghanistan fall into his hands. S With regard to Herat, I think I may assure you, though I would not venture to be confident, that up to the end of Sept. the place was still held by Esa Khan, in spite of all the efforts of the Persian gene rals. The story of its fall, told, as I have before mentioned, by the Lahore Chronicle, has been con tradicted from various quarters. There took place, indeed, if we are to credit information derived from a " very intelligent and trustworthy Mahomedan gentleman at Shikapore," who has a son at Canda har, a very desperate engagement between the be siegers and the besieged on the 29th Au g . a At first the assailants got the better of the Heratees, suc ceeding, through treachery on the part of the officers commanding, in establishing themselves in several important points of the works. At that moment it may have been that the news spread abroad that the day was irretrievably lost, and that Herat had fallen. But, be that as it may, Esa Khan rallied his dispirited followers, and delivered in person so vigorous an attack upon the enemy that they were speedily swept from every position they had occu pied, and, leaving the ditch of the fortress choked with their dead, were chased back with further loss upon the main body of their army. Then Esa Khan, triumphant over the foreign levy, returned to pu nish with terrible severity the domestic treason. Thus far the worthy Mussulman of Shikarpore-- whose tale, though 1 cannot vouch for its truth, I yet could not have omitted to repeat. The late correspondence of the Delhi Gazette from Cabul, if it says nothing of this particular assault, is at least equally positive as to the continued success of the Heratees in the defence of their city. The Ameer Dost Mahomed quitted Candahar for Cabul on the 13th of Sept., leaving at the former capital 9,000 men and 30 guns, wider the charge of his son, Ryder Khan. The object of this move on his part was thought to be to receive and confer with a, British officer. This, it is suggested, may be Col. Cavenagh, who lately left Calcutta on a political mission, which is supposed to have had Cabul for its direction. On the whole, the Ameer appears to have been feeling more at Isis ease than for many months past; and his indomitable spirit felt a grim delight in the prospect of handling English arms and 20,000/. of English gold. His brother, Sultan Mahomed, indeed, the ex-chief of Pesha war. had been caught intriguing against him with the Persians, and summ ar i l y ordere off to Cabul. This, however, troubled the Dost but little ; it would take something very strong indeed in the way of treachery and intrigue to astonish him ; and in high glee the old man rode off for his capital a few days later, talking . to his Si r d ars , a b ou t his ex pected English visitor, and saying that if he did not come up to Cabul with all speed he him self would go down as far as Jellalabad to meet him. I should mention that I read nothing firther of the movements cf the Persians from Farrah to wards Ghirisk and Candahar ; but it must be this division of their army, if any, which is causing alarm to the Khan of Khelat. From the Punjaub frontier there is little news. The field force which Brigadier Cotton had taken out for exercise from Peshawar at the end of Sep tember was forced to return to the camp 17th of October, owing to the troops left behind having been incapacitated for the duties of the station by severe sickness. Fever on the prevalent among the troops conineing h a d also been_ la the field force, especially crippling the 87th Fusilie rs ,' (3 Punjaub irregular force, under Bri gadier Chamberlain, is in the field, either simply for exercise, or (more to parade the probablY) .
