THE OVERLAND MAIL• We have received the Bombay Overland Times si the 12th of May. We take the following from Cie overland summary : „," We have just had a little Sonthal insurrection our own, which, though not on so great a scale 14 that in Lower Bengal, has had a good deal in 4 ° l tomon with it. We are not able to discover how misunderstanding first began.

The disturbed villages are t ll in a two-hours' railway run of the Elphinstone Co llege. c Their inhabitants have been in constant b. enunication with Europeans since Governor Pean's time, and yet in civilisation they seem ied the South Sea Islanders. ,a y:,A robbery was, a fortnight since, committed just the Baroda frontier, very likely to lead to c'`re important consequences than its planners or ab ettors dreamt of at the time. Property to the v lt hio.of 10,0001., consisting chiefly of gold and sil ett in bars, belonging to British merchants, was R Patched, on the 24th of April, from Bombay to A I t.niedahad, both British cities.

FRANCE. gramme of the fetes of the baptism of the Prince Imperial : " On Saturday salvos of artillery will announce the commencement and the conclusion of the cere mony, which will take place at half-past five in the cathedral church of Paris. Immediately after its termination their Majesties will dine at the Hotel de Ville. In the evening that building and its approaches will be illuminated, as will also the tower of Saint Jacques la Boucherie and the pub lic buildings. "On Sunday salvos of artillery will be fired by the cannon of the Invalides at six in the morning, and at the same hour in the evening. A grand day fete will take place simultaneously from two to eight at the esplanade of the Invalides and at the Barriere du Trone. At each place there will be theatres erected for the performance of military and other pieces. Climbing poles will be also fixed with a number of prizes for the successful parties. At two o'clock 300 balloons will be let off from the esplanade, each carrying small bags of baptismal sweetmeats. At half-past four a large balloon will ascend from the esplanade, from which similar bags will be showered down among the crowd. At night the public buildings will be again illuminated, and at nine o'clock a display of fireworks will take place at the Quai d'Orsay and at the Barriere du Trone. Grand ball at the Hotel de Ville. The Emperor is expected this evening in Paris, from his third tour in the inundated provinces. At Nantes his Majesty has given away 20,000 f. from his private purse, and caused 100,000 f. to be dis tributed from the finance of the State. The Moniteur says :—"All the tickets of invita. tion to the ceremony of the baptism of the Prince Imperial having been distributed, no further appli cations to the Grand Master of the Ceremonies will be replied to." On his side, the Prefect of Police has issued the following notice : " The list of invitations to the fete offered to their Majesties by the city of Paris on the occa sion of the Imperial baptism is definitively filled up. Several foreigners of distinction had requested to have tickets for this fete, which the municipal administration have been endeavouring to render worthy of their illustrious guests. The city of Paris has always made it a point to exercise to wards the natives of other countries the most ex tended hospitality, but the more just it has ap peared to admit such persons in great numbers on previous occasions, the more proper it has been considered on the present occassion, on account of the particular character of the fete, to more par ticularly invite natives of France. otwithstand ing the great extent of the apartments of the Hotel de Ville, the number of applications for in vitations from Parisian families, which have been acceded to, is unfortunately but too restricted." "We are requested to announce," says the Moniteur, " that in conformity with established usage at the Court of Munich, the King of Bava ria does not accept any of the literary or artistical works which the authors may send for presenta tion to his Majesty." The Constitutionnel says :—" A telegraphic despatch which we yesterday received from our correspondent at Hamburg stated that it was re ported at Copenhagen that Count de Molke would be replaced at Paris by an Envoy Extraordinary. This rumour appears to be without foundation." THE BOURSE, June 14.—The following were the closing quotations : st Cash. fr. a.

We extract the following from a letter, dated Bucharest, May 18 : There appears to be scarcely a doubt that Gen. Coronini, his staff, and a large portion of the Austrian army of occupation will leave the Princi• palities, at the end of the present month, their de parture, which was not to have taken place until the middle of June, having been accelerated. There will then remain two regiments of infantry and one of cavalry in Wallachia, and a similar force in Mol davia, consisting of—waggon train, &c., included —a corps d'armee of 20,0 ,0 men, each Austrian in fantry regiment being about 4 , 000 strong. It is not known when these are to leave, but it is com monly reported that they will remain until the month of September, and this is the expectation of the troops themselves. In the convention of the 14th of June, 1854, it was stipulated that the Austrians should evacuate the provinces as soon as possible after peace was concluded. But the wording of the clause was such as to afford loopholes for eva sion and procrastination. Lord Pahuerston's speech of the Gth inst. has raised fresh hopes of prompt evacuation. "As the Principalities are close to the Austrian frontier," said his Lordship, "it of course follows that their evacuation will take place long before that of the Crimea or of the Turkish terri tory near Constantinople." Neither the proceed ings of the Austrians nor the expectations here generally entertained are in accordance with this prediction. In 12 days two months will hays elapsed since the signature of the treaty of peace, which was the signal for the allies to commence moving from the Crimea ; and, as regards the possibility of the whole of the Austrians having already cleared out of the Prin cipalities, and of their still doing so, were they so inclined, within a fortnight from this date, there can be no reasonable doubt. Upon what pretext then should 20,000 men pass the summer in a country to the safety of which their further stay is manifestly and completely unnecessary I Some thing has been said about apprehended disturb ances should they at once depart, and strong ef forts have been made here to get representa tions of such apprehensions put forward by trades men and others at Bucharest, efforts, however, which signally failed. The desire to get rid of the Austrians proved stronger than Government influence. If fear of popular commotions be really seriously advanced as a motive for the con tinuance of the present foreign occupation, as suredly no more shallow and unfounded pretence was ever resorted to. Whatever are the alarming rumours which it may be thought expedient to propagate here or in Vienna, there is no more chance of disturbances in the Principalities when the Austrians go than there would be of tumults in London if the Guards were withdrawn from the parks and despatched to the country. Effervescence there possibly may be—the effervescence of joy at the departure of an army that has done so much to oppress, annoy, and irritate the peaceable and harmless population upon which it was thrust. It would not surprise me if bonfires were lighted and Bucharest illuminated when the last of the white j.;,ckets are seen to march away. SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 6th, which have ar rived in due course, contain nothing about the al leged plot to assassinate the Queen. In the Cortes a motion calling on the Government to give expla nations for having dissolved the " Progressist Club" of Barcelona was brought forward • but the Minister of War demanded that it should be re jected, as it was impossible for the Government to govern if it could not prevent juntas arrogating to themselves a certain degree of power from being established in provincial towns. The motion was rejected by 100 votes to 96. The Gazette says that the Queen has expressed the desire that the marriage of Dona Amalia and Prince Adalbert of Bavaria shall be celebrated with the greatest pos sible solemnity. The marriage is to take place on the arrival of the Prince in Madrid, which is shortly expected. Heavy rain had fallen in the city during two days. The Novedades says that it is not true, as stated in one of the journals, that the Queen is to proceed to the provinces recently visited by the Duke de la Victoria. The Opinione of Turin of the 9th says :—" We learn that when General de Dabormida passed through Vienna on his way to Warsaw he left his card at Count Buol's, who sent to request an in terview with him. As G enera l do Dabormida had no mission from his gover nmen t to that of Vienna the visit was strictly of a private nature, and we are told that it led to no satisfactory solution of the present difficulties. They conversed about the sequestrations in Lombardy, each maintaining his own opinion unflinchingly. General do Dabor mida, in conclusion, said the only solution possible was the repeal of the decree of sequestration by Austria, after which the two diplomatists sepa rated." PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING. t r 3 llo following appears in the Moniteur :—" In ~ sequence of the decision come to by the Emper or bEmpress to stand sponsors to the childr en clt tt en the same day as the Prince Imperial, more o, a , 3,600 applications have reached the Minister Household of the Emperor. The prefects ti - , °o been charged to make inquiries as to the situa h;ll of the families of those children, and assistance it h 4 . been already ssnt to such as are in need of it. e 4 e l. intention of their Majesties is to transmit to 1: 11 , of those families, through the medium of the th„ e ' ec ,te) a certificate delivered by the Minister of - 4 mperor's household, and stating the favour Granted to the children by their Majesties. An sum will be inscribed on the budget of the h "if List of the Emror for the assistance of tSitoUs families, and their Rlajesties will or ", care of the children if they become th l) „."ane.

These persons may choose Wh om t iB they please to hold their children at the bap ponlal fonts. The mayors will represent the Em 413,_ir n case of need." 4 ' 4 e Moniteur publishes the following as the pro- The King of the Belgians and all the Royal family came from Laeken to the palace at Brussels on Sunday, and the Duke de Brabant r ece i ve d a deputation from the municipality of Namur, in viting them to the fetes which are to b e g i ven in King's that town in honour of the accession to the throne. The ex-Queen Marie Amelie and the Duke and Duchess de Nemours visited the palace at Brussels the same day, and her Majesty received some ladies of distinction. Iu the afternoon the King returned to Laeken, and a little later the Queen, the Duke and Duchess de Nemours, and the Belgian royal family followed. It is whispered that the King of Prussia. .has sent to the Emperor of Austria 3 through Prince Windischgratz, an invitation, or something amount ing to one, to come to the autumn manoeuvres here. This method of inviting not being indirect enough, considering the very ticklish footing on which the two Courts now stand, we hear that even the suggestion to hint it was conveyed to Prince Windischgratz by General Groben. The Breslau Gazette asserts that Austria intends to recall her charge d'affaires from Turin, on ac count of a new note raid to have been addressed by Count Cavour to the court of St. Petersburg, and containing complaints against Austria, on account of the attitude she has assumed with regard to Sar dinia. LORD DALHOUSIE'S INDIAN•AD3IINIS• TRATION. Yesterday was issued, in the form of a return to the House of Commons, the copy of a minute of the Marquis of Dalhousie, dated the 28th of February, 1856, and addressed to the Indian Board, reviewing his adminis tration in India, from January, 1818, to March, 1856. The minute is of great length, extending* to forty-five folio pages. The marquis enters into a minute recital of the measures which have been taken for the prosecu tion of material improvements in India, and refers to the progress that has been made towards the removal of certain noted evils, such as Suttee, Thuggee, female in fanticide, &c. Accession of territory, political changes, improvements in civil administration, education, public works, and the general development of the resources of India are treated of in detail. "If the recital," he says, "should seem dry in itself, it may be hoped that the results which it exhibits pill not be thought by the honourable court to be unprofitable or disappointing." The marquis concludes :—" One of the last, and not the least important, of those measures which have emanated from the government of India during the past years, has been a resolution to require henceforth from the government of every presidency, from each lieutenant.governor, and from the chief of ficer of every province, an annual report narrating the incidents that may have occurred during the year with in their several jurisdictions, and stating the progress that may have been made, and all of moment that may have been done, in each principal department of the civil and military administration. My parting hope for India is, that, in all time to come, these reports from the presidencies and provinces under our rule may form, in each successive year, a happy record of peace, prosperity, and progress. (Signed) " DALHOUSIE. "Feb. 28, 1856." RAILWAY l NTELLIGBNCE. WIMBLEDON AND CROYDON. A special meeting of this company was held yesterday at the office, Parliament-street, to consider a bill in compli ance with the standing orders of the House of Lords; Mr. W. Reed in the chair. The CHAIRMAN explained that the object of the bill was to enable the company to lease the line to the London, Brighton, and South Coast Company, and to authorise the raising of further capital to construct a second line of rails, should it be required by the Brighton Company.

A special meeting of this company wan held yesterday at the offices, Great Queen-street, Westminster, to consi der a bill now before Parliament, in compliance with the standing orders of the House of Lords ; Mr. L. Davis in the chair. Mr. Baxter, the solicitor, read the heads of the bill, from which it appeared that the objects were to make a deviation from the original line, to reduce the capital from 380,000/. to 260,009/., including loans, and to extend the timo for completing the railway to four years from the passing of the act, and for the purchase of land to two years. A resolution approving the bill was carried unanimously. WELLS AND FAKENHAM, • • A special meeting of this company was held yesterday at the office, Lombard-street, to consider a bill in com pliance with the standing orders of tho House of Lords ; Sir S. M. Peto in the chair. The solicitor read the heads of the bill. It authorised the Norfolk Company to subscribe 30,0001. towards the undertaking, and to become shareholders therein to that amount. A resolution approving the bill was carried unani mowly. NOR FOLK. A special meeting of this company was held yesterday at the office, Lombard-street, to consider a bill, in coin. pliance with the standing orders of the House of Lords— Mr. Till in the chair. The sfdicitor read the heads of the bill to authorise the Norfolk Railway Company to subscribe 30,0001. to the Wells and Fakenhatu Railway, and in respect of that sub scription to hold 1,500 shares in the latter company, with all the rights and privileges attached thereto. Sir S. M. PETO explained that the cost of the line would not exceed 8,0001. per mile, including land and works, and when it was considered that the railway would pass through one of the richest agricultural districts in the kingdom he was sure they would not think the Norfolk Company was incurring any serious responsibility in subscribing 30,0001. towards the construction of the line. The resolution approving the bill was unanimously adopted. ROYAL SWEDISH RAILWAY.—It is under,tood the di rectors of this company have resolved that, unless a sufficient amour t of preference stock be subscribed to insure the completion of the 45 miles which constitute the first portion of the line and the discharge of the lia bilities of the company, a meeting will be called with the view of returning the money already partially deposited. WELLS AND FAKENHAM RAlLWAY.—Yesterday an extraordinary general meeting of the proprietors of this railway was held at the officeP, 69, Lombard-street, to consider aLd approve a bill now before Parliament for giving such powers to the Norfolk Railway Company as are mentioned in the report of the meeting of that com pany. Sir. S. 111. Peto in the chair. The bill was una nimously sanctioned. MUSIC AT THE ANTIPODES.—Mrs. Anna Bishop was still the vocal star in the ascendant at the Prince of Wales Theatre, Sydney, in the beginning of March. She bad met with success scarcely second to that of Catherine Hayes, who bad the advantage of priority in her visit to Sydney. The fair Anna, it is alleged, seemed to bear the loss of her "musical director," Mr. Bochsa, with composure. Strange that the great harpist should have ended his days in that out-of the-way part of the globe. Mrs. Bishop was well supported by a Mr. Spagnoletti, who claims to be the son of the once celebrated leader at her Majesty's Theatre, Hay market. _ _ _ - - ROBBERY OF GOLD.—It has been discovered that some of the boxes brought by the la , t West India steamer, purporting to be filled with gold, contain only lead and shot. The amount of the deficiency at present ascertained is about 9,0001. A portion having been sent to Pdris, the result was communicated to this side, and an examination on behalf of the consignees to-day at the Bank of England demonstrated the extent of the fraud. The boxes came from the interior of New Granada, and were shipped at Carthagena. MADAME TUSSAIJD'S EXHIBITION.—Among the many criminals here exhibited few have caused such intense interest and curiosity as the portrait model of William Palmer, during the few days which it has been sub mitted to public inspection. The very lengthened trial, and the position held by the criminal, as well as the number of supposed victims, has excited a most unusual interest. The figure is most life-like, and admirably ex. ecuted. HEREDITARY PENSIONS.—An important document has just been printed by order of the House of Lords, show ing the expenditure of 213,1771. ls. 2d. for the purchase of hereditary pensions. The present Duke of Grafton had a pension on the Excise revenues of 7,191/. 12s. net, granted by letters patent of Charles 11. in 1673 to the Earl of Southampton, the Earl of Euston, and tke Earl of Northumberland, with cross remainders. The gross pen sion was. 9,000/. a year, and the government has redeemed it from the Duke of Grafton for 190,777/.135. 2d. Another pension of 1,000/., reduced t.) 720/., to the Duke of Schom berg on the Post Office, payable to C. Eyre, E,q., has been purchased by the government for 19,399/. Bs. 10J. granted by letters patent of 1 Geo. I. comprising letters patent of William and Mary. The pension was 40001., with a right of redemption for 100,0001., so that Mr. Eyre's share would have been 25,0001., but it was ob tained for 19,3991. Bs., or 5,600/. 12s. less. The redemp tion money in the first pensio❑ was calculated at 26,945 years' purchase, that being the rate at which Earl Cow per's pension on the Excise revenue was purchased in 1853. THE INDIAN DEPARTMENT OF CANADA.—There have just been published copies of recent correspondence on the alterations of the organisation of the Indian Department in Canada. These letters refer to a report from Mr. Oli phant, relative to the surrender of certain Indian lands on Lake Huron, with remarks on the prospects of the Indians i❑ Canada, and to a report from Viscount Bury on the state and prospects of the Indians, and the measures for the withdrawal of the aid hitherto granted by the Imperial Parliament. It appears that the yearly average of the sums voted for defraying the expense of the Indian Department in Canada during the seven years from 1849 to 1855 was 12,8831., and the average of the sum actualiy expended 11,061/. a-year. It has long been settled that the general " presents" to the tribes, in progress of annual reduction, shall cease in 1857, and this decision the Colonial-office declines to alter, seeing that a continuance of the presents was not required by good faith, and that it in nowise conduced to the wel fare or civilisation of the Indians. The Indian Depart ment will still be maintained, and the Colonial Secretary thinks it probable that Parliament will not object to an application for a sum not exceeding 3,000/. a-year in aid of the department, and for the purchase of provisions and gunpowder during a period of two or three years subsequent to the cessation of the presents. CAMDEN-TOWN FREE RAGGED SCHOOL.—Last even ing the eighth annual meeting of the friends and sup porters of this institution was held in the Vestry•hall, King's-road, Camden-town ; F. T. S:reeten, Esq., senior churchwarden, occupied the chair. The report stated that in the infant and juvenile day schools there were 455 on the books ; the average attendance being 360. The Sunday schools were usually attended by 180 ; there were 60 boys in the evening school, 45 being the average attendance. In the girls evening school there were 152 ; average attendance, 78. In the boys' industrial classes tailoring and shoemaking were taught. During the year penny lectui es had been established, and were attended by 1,502 —of whom 1,094 paid one penny eac h. A penny bank bad been established, and 541. bad been deposited during the year, of the money of the boys who bad obtained employment. Some had been promoted in the militia because they could read and write. The expenditure exceeded the revenue by 31. The report having h av ing been unanimously adopted, Mr. J. M. Clabon and Mr. T. Payne addressed the meeting ; after which the Rev. W. J. Langdale proposed a vote of thanks to the chairman, and the meeting separated, MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLTGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLocrc. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed heavily, and prices were the same as last week. The sales were estimated at 7,000 bales-1,000 for export and 500 on speculation—comprising 320 Pernam and Maranham, bid. to 71d. ; 50 Bahia, ; 200 Egyptian, 60. t. 7d. ; 700 Surat, 40. to sd. ; and 100 Sea Islands, Is. rd. to ls. 71b. per lb. The Railway Share Market closed quietly. Accounts from the Foreign Silk Markets report great firmness in prices, with an improvement in the raw material. At Joyeuse sales were effected at 85f. to 87f. per kilogramme, and holders were waiting for an advance. The principal silk-pro- ducing establishments in tho neighbourhood have lost a large proportion of cocoons during the recent bad weather. At St. Amboise the result of the seaso* is not so bad ; but at Auvenas there are many complaints ; and it is expected that the quality as well as the quantity of raw silk from those places will be inferior this season to the last. Advices from St. Petersburg state that the market for metals has not been so brisk as was expected after the opening of navigation. The transactions in copper have been chiefly confined to speculators, who are looking for a large profit on their purchases, which, however, they are not likely to realise. For Paskk o ff voge lmark qu a liti es _ _ _ _ 12 roubles per pood was given, and for other kinds 111 to 114 R. A. sale of 2,000 poods of Laval for delivery inJuly was closed at 11 roubles 40 kopecks. There is little demand for the interior, and the chief portion of wheat that has been brought to market will be consumed in the cities and at the shipbuilding stations. The preparations for the payment of the 20 per cent. deposit on the New Loan to-day have had no material influence on the state of the Money Mar ket, which remains comparatively easy at steady quotations. As the discount houses are negotiating first-class bills of two months' date at 4i per cent. and the business of the Bank of England is consequently limited, there has been some expec tation that the authorities in Threadneedle-street, at their weekly board meeting to-day, would have deemed it advisable to make a slight reduction in their minimum ; but they have separated, as the majority imagined they would, without announc ing any change. The periodical instalments on the loan and the " calls" made by the various Joint-Stock companies recently formed, will pro bably tend to keep money at its present value for I some time to come. The annual meeting of the lonian Bank was held to-day. The report was not very encouraging, owing to the blight which had continued to prevail in the island during the past year as it had done previously. It was hoped that the malady would be mitigated in future at least. The accounts showed the not profits of the past year amounted to 6,4341. 7s. 7d. The amount to the credit of profit and loss on the let of January, 1856, was 7,3131. 18s. 10d. It was expected that the usual dividend of 5 per cent. would be kept up. The report was adopted.

B. Buckstone, J. Johnson, S. Phelps, W. Creswick, C. J. James, E. T. Smith, W. Cook, Charles Kean, R. Shepherd, B. 0. Conquest, Nelson Lee, J. J. Towers, J. Douglass, S. Lane, B. J. Webster, T. Green wood, T. Payne, A. Wigan." The testimonial was pre sented to Mr. Donne by a deputation of managers headed by Mr. Benjamin Webster, of the Adelphi Theatre. At a meeting of the Southampton Chamber of Com merce, held on Tuesday night, the President, J. R. Stubbing, Esq., stated that in consequence of the incon venience felt by the merchants and shipping agents at that port, through the sorting of the foreign mails in London instead of at Southampton, he had, in obedience to the wishes of the Chamber, written to the Duke of Argyll, the Postmaster-General, through Mr. Willcox, M.P., requesting that the foreign mails might be sorted in Southampton. The Postmaster-General had replied stating that the request could not be granted, but his grace had immediately ordered mails for the West Indies and Panama to be made up at Southampton on the days of the departure of the \Vest India packets, such mails to include letters for the whole of the West Indies, Mexico, the Spanish Main, Central America, British and Foreign Guiana, the Western Coast of America, and the Sandwich Islands, and also mails to be made up in the West Indies and at Panama for Southampton, such mails to contain letters from all the above -mentioned places. These homeward mails are to be sorted in and distributed from Southampton, without first going to London. An unanimous vote of thanks was passed by the Chamber of Commerce to Mr. Willcox, M.P., for tae great boon he had obtained for the port from the I Post-office department. Bt. 50 At. St. lii Bt.

(Sittings in Banco before Lord Campbell, Justices Colo. ridge, Erie, and Crompton.) IN RE RICHARD SILLS.-THE BRIGHTON CARD CHEATING CASE. Sir P. Thesiger moved fora rule nisi, on affidavits, for the readmission of Mr. Sill 9, an attorney of this court. Tile applicant was engaged for the prosecution of Broom and others, on a charge of conspiracy and fraud, in cheating Mr. Ramp, a young gentleman of fortune, of a large sum of money, by card-playing, at Brighton ; and, on a cbarge preferred against Mr. Sills by the Broomes, relative to money transactions arising out of that prosecution, be was struck off the rolls of attorneys of this Court about three years since. The grounds of application were, that the suspension of three years for his offence was a sufficient expiation of his conduct in reference to the charge proved against him, and that his conduct had been so exemplary since that time, that the firm whose business he is superintending at Walsall are ready to admit him a partner if the Court reinstated him on the rolls of the Court. Rule nisi granted. THE CASE OF PALMER. REFUSAL OF SIR G. GREY TO RECEIVE A DEPUTATION. Yesterday Sir G. Grey was waited upon, at the Home office, by some of the parties who promoted the meeting held at St. Martin's-hall on Tuesday night, for the pur pose of arresting Palmer's execution. The right hon. baronet was informed that the meeting had been held, and that a deputation had been appointed to represent the feelings of the meeting to him, and they therefore requested him to name the time when he would receive the deputation. Sir G. Grey, however, refused to re ceive any deputation on the subject, but said he would carefully peruse any document that might be forwarded to him, and that an immediate answer should be re turned if one was necessary or requested. Accordingly the parties withdrew, with the determination of prepar ing a document containing all the facts which have tran spired since the trial, which will be forwarded to Sir G. Grey this day. STAFFORD, JUNE 11. Up to this morning no official intimation of any sort had reaohed the authorities of the county gaol in which Palmer is confined, in reference to a probable reprieve, and preparations have been commenced for the execution, which will take place next Saturday morning. For the last day or two Palmer's spirits have been slightly de pressed, but he is still buoyed up by the hope that his life may yet be spared, A vast number of applications have bee❑ made to Major Fulford, the governor of the gaol, for admission on the day of execution, but notiaa has been given that all persons will be rigorously ex cluded with the exception of the authorised reporters for the public press, who, with the sanction of Sir George Grey, will be present. Palmer's friends are to be allowed to visit him until Saturday, when it is expected the final interview between the convict and the members of his family will take place. A more distressing scene than this parting will be it is impossible to conceive. Last night a public meeting was held at the National Hall, High Holborn, for the purpose of adopting mea sures for securing the delay of Palmer's execution until the doubts which surrounded the case were satisfactorily cleared up. Resolutions were agreed to in accordance with the object of the meeting. THE JURY IN PALMER'S CASE.—One of the jury has written to a contemporary denying the statement about hats being used by them in coming to their verdict. He says :—On reaching the room there was a dead silence for about 20 minutes. A discussion of the facts that bad been laid before us was then commenced, and it lasted f )r about 10 minutes, after which each man took pen and paper, and wrote his decision and name, it having been agreed that no one should pronounce his opinion lost any other should receive a bias. The papers were then laid on the tab!e ; the foreman opened them and read them aloud, when " Guilty " was found to be the unani mous verdict. An earnest conversation then ensued, having no relation to William Palmer. This is a pre• cisc account of the proceedings of the jury. SCOTCH MINERS' STRIKE. GLASGOW, Monday.--This strike, the most extensive and bitterly-contested which has ever been known in the west of Scotland, may now be held to have terminated. When it was at its height, about six weeks since, at least 40,000 men were engaged in it, and remaining in a state of voluntary idleness. Some of the masters were dis posed to give the 54. which the men asked ; others were ready to give 4s. 6d. per day ; but a number of speech. makers and committeemen, to whom the operatives gave their confidence, resolved that no man should be allowed to work even at ss. per day to one employer unless every other employer in the west of Scotland paid the same amout.t of wages ; and they do not conceal that their intention was to carry their point by the forced suspension of all the coal and ironworks in this part of the kingdom. As a consequence, this led to a death-and I,fe struggle between the miners and their em ployers, and during its continuance iron furnaces were blown out, coals rose in Glasgow from 12s. to 255. per waggon, and great bodies of military, police, and special constables invested the district. The men, after having endured unbeard•ot sufferings, have been obliged to suc cumb, but not until they l.ad exhausted every means of resistance by the sale of furniture and clothing ; and at length even begging and- borrowing failed them. The loss is enormous, and many a Jay must elapse before the mining districts can recover their usual prosperity. It is calculated that the sacrifice in wages atone amoants t i more than 500,000/. ; but to this must be added the loss of masters' profits and the dislocation of business endured by all who depend on the coal and iron mining trades. The men have returned to their work in a very gloomy mood, and under a burning sense of injustice. Irrepective of the question of wages, they complain of harsh and supercilious treatment on the part of their employers, some of whom, though enormomly wealthy, are not much above themselves in the amenities or cour te-ies of lite ; and they also complain that they are plun dered at the pit-mouth by the understrappers of the matters by being compelled to give a large quantity of over-weight. The strike began to break down about a fortnight ago, when the men returned to the pits in de tached bodies; immense numbers resumed work on Fri day and Saturday last, and the remainder, so far as Lanarkshire is concerned, turned in this morning. There aro still a few hundreds out in Ayrshire, where the strike was later in commencing, and where the men have consequently endured less ; but all admit that now " the game is up."
