QUESTION EASILY ANSWERED.- It every question could be easily and satisfactorily answered, the business of the world would be carried on with half the ordinary trouble and expense. Questions often require vast outlay to answer and time to settle. As Russians have not satisfactorily answered questions of national right, they must pay dearly for the experiment. It would be difficult to answer for the weather—Wet or Dry ?—but it is easy and inexpensive to prepare for it at the establishment of X. MOSES and SON. A s everybody knows how far E. MOSES and SaN can excel all others in their line of business, and everybody else asks what that line of business is, allow us for once to answer for them. E. MOSES and Sox make those kinds of Dress which display the highest order of fashion, taste, comfort, and economy—they sell, in suits or single garments, the Attire which is approved by every one, and suits the season in every respect. They are the Tailors of the 4 ,, 'Thy, Navy, and the Profes s i ons , th e M anu f ac t urers o f Li ver i es , oPorting Dress, Ladies' Habits, &c. In each branch E. MOSES and 'ON have the lead for Style, Elegance, Comfort, and Economy. They have the greatest variety of fashions in Juvenile Attire, and beyond any question they have produced the most popular and s atisfactory articles which were ever offered. They are Hatters and Hosier, having the newest fashions, the richest and most useful ITOOdS ; there is, therefore, no question about every one being able to /Mike the most profitable selection at their establishment, or their West-end branch. They are Wholesale Merchants, Outfitters, and tZPorters to all parts of the world. They have the largest Stock of Clothing, Shirts, Boots and Shoes, &c.; for the Colonies or the Home Trade ; and the question of profits, without the possibility of loss, will be easily ettled by Merchants, Captains, and others inspect ing their goods, which are unrivalled for superiority and Cheapness. Full LISTS of OUTFITS for Ladies and Gentlemen, with ship. sailing information, gratis on application, or post free. CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the Public against imposition, having learned that the untradesman.like fault• od of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for 'obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have NO CONNEXION WITH ANY OTHER HOUSE IN OR OUT OP LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows : London City Establishment, 154, 155, 156, and 157, Minories, 84, 84 , and BG, Aldgate, opposite the Church, all communicating.

The following is the summary of the Bombay Times of June 7 : The news we have to give by this mail is not of much importance, Everywhere over India ' ex cept in the Nizam' s d om i n i ons , th ere is perfect quiet, and the ordinary course of events goes on undisturbed. From Rangoon our advices extend to the 22d of last month, and contains no news of special interest. For long it was supposed that the boats lost in the late hurricane might have been wrecked near Kyotyas, and that many of the miss ing soldiers may have reached Sitang and Shoay Gyreen, but definite intelligenbe reached Ran goon that 80 men of all ranks, native and Euro pean, including Lieut. Stapleton, M.N.I, had perished in the gale. The convicts on board the Clarissa had risen and killed the captain, the mate, and a portion of the crew. Several of the sailors escaped in a boat, and reached Rangoon on the 16th ult. Two days afterwards the vessel ran ashore, and was found and taken possession of by the ship Elizabeth. A number of escaped convicts had captured the village of Assam and had slain 20 of the inhabit,ants. Dacoity still continued, but not to the same extent as formerly. A police force is being organised for the protection of life and pro perty in Burmah. Part of it will consist of river police for the Irrawaddy and for the creeks and rivers of the Delta. A good deal of sickness pre vailed at Peshawur, and it had been visited by a slight shock of an earthquake. There have been some disturbances among the tribes in the Kohat pass, from differences among themselves about the money which we pay to them for keep ing that pass. The contemplated alliance with Dost Mahommed has given rise to a good deal of discussion, for the most part unfavourable to the project. Officers find great difficulty in getting leave of absence from Peshawur.—The Delhi Gazette still continues to publish letters from Cabul, notwithstanding the disclaimers oftheGazette of Bt. Petersburg and the doubts thrown on their authenticity by well informed Indian journals. Its last letter is dated 10th May, and states that the Ameer has warned the British Government of the increasing influence of the Persians and Russians in Herat and Candahar, and has asked English money to aid him in resistance. He has sent a reinforce ment toward Dulkh, which country is threatened by the King of Bokhara ; but he still maintains communication with Russia and Persia. It is rumoured that the Czar has informed the Shah of Persia that two more European kings have joined with him, and that the Shah would do well to march upon Bagdad, and take the holy shrine of the Najuh Ashruf from the Turks. The Candahar chiefs are said to have informed the King of Persia that for a stipulated sum, they will give up certain parts under their administration. A rumour is also current that the Russian force had attacked and destroyed many places in the direction of Hoorgung boundary, and have erected iron works over desert wastes, in order to convey water for the use of their soldiers. But even were we assured that these reports came from Cabul, they are too confused and uncertain to warrant us in any fur ther conclusion than that the Russo-Turkish war has created considerable excitement there. Quar termaster Gillespie, who was accused of having murdered his groom at Umballa, was tried by a court-martial, found guilty of felonious homicide, and condemned to four years' imprisonment. The case having been returned for revision, the court found him guilty of wilful murder, and con demned him to 14 years' transportation—a sen tence which was confirmed by the Commander-in- Chief. From the Nizam's dominions, we hear that, when Arabs are dismissed, the Arab Jemadars systemati cally make room for them in their own bands by dismissing the Mowullids anciDeccanees serving in them. A number of Rohilla, prisoners escaped from the fort of Jactial, after massacring many of their guards ; but some of them have been seized by Brigadier Mayne. The country still remains rather disturbed, and the Government is burdened by having no less than 5,000 idle prisoners in charge. The natives in Nagpore have unfavourable expec tations as to the result of their transfer to British rule, especially as to its effects on their trade in silks and xauslizua~---Teh A _l3 r .h m i. whn havA hApn turned adrift, and the idle empiiiriililia military, who fattened on sinecures, are exceedingly discontented. A year, it is said is to be allowed to elapse before the country is placed in the hands of British officials ; and, in the meantime, Mr. Man sell is to do his best with the native agency. The last steam-boat from the Persian Gulph left Bu- shire on the Ist May, but brought almost no in telligence. *The Persians still seem determined to keep the Island of Karrack in a fortified state ; but the greater part of the soldiers there escaped from it and returned to Bushire, not having been sup plied with a sufficient quantity of food. The last mail from China, which arrived here a few days ago, brought intelligence of very serious riots at Singa pore. For eight or ten days it was in a very critical state. The riots arose from the bad feeling between the Hokien clan and the Ohinchew, Macoa, and other Chinese. On the sth May, a bloody fight began in the bazaar, and the efforts of the police to suppress it were quite insufficient. A number of shops were plundered, and had not the Governor and magistrates made their appearance in the principal streets, attended by` soldiers, the rioters would doubtless have committed still worse excesses. On the succeeding days the riotous Chinese grew bolder, and committed many most atrocious murders. Colonel Butterworth, the Governor, is blamed for not having taken decisive measures. Instead of at once employing the military, he swore in all the Europeans of the place as special con stables—a measure calculated to excite only con tempt amongst the rioters. He also issued pro clamations, calling on all the respectable Chinese to aid in preserving peace. The police were very speedily too much fatigued to accomplish anything, and the Europeans were at a great disadvantage among the labyrinths of the town. The plan pur sued by the rioters was to disperse whenever the specials made their appearance, and hasten to as sault some other quarter. Soon the disturbances spread to the interior, where revoltingly cruel assassinations were committed, houses were burn ed, and plantations destroyed by a band of about three hundred Chinese carrying a black flag. Mr. Cluff, the deputy-superintendent of police, who went to arrest some of the mur derers, was compelled to retreat to a police station, and after being besieged for some time had to release a portion of his prisoners. A party of sepoys and of special constables had to be sent t 6 relieve him from his dangerous position. The affair grew so serious that, on the 10th ult., a num ber of marines and of Malays had to be employed in fighting, and the captain of an American man of-war oflered to place 80 of his meu at the disposal of the authorities. There were no less than 400 assassinations, and 220 persons wounded. It is not known exactly how many of the rioters were killed and wounded, but the corpses of 85 of them p were rs o prisoners e under ore ta taken ; directio nso3 o l f shopst e i) authorities ondo red andsoo wounded, i n o d u e s d e , sl a v i e i r d e oneburned. only,s n n - s y r two e received Europeans w w h e e r u e merchant, died from a ukn h g o l e d . e, pursuing the rioters in the t.. j e Whenr; m bt 1.1.1 n et mail left, quiet had inbeetni once more . rest a ore G d thus le our of hs correspondent,lette letter, writess ocvoenrcelluyd on the paragraphsconduct of the authorities, and apprehensively of the future :—" Humiliating as is the conclusion, it is, nevertheless, obvious that the rulers of an im portant British settlement have been defied, baf fled, and derided by the leaders o o r f i t . Chinese rabble. The tumult, contemptiblein its tagrom m s , t w fo a r s t f i o ie sted o s ti r i ong l armof instead of being suppressed the law. The rioters learning that superin tendent of police had declared his inability to maintain the peace, became instantly pugnacious, under under the conviction that the executive feared o the 'o u t s , t sup pression theorder of m t i i l l i e ta h r r 3 a , %i t d o ;u andse t h e e b a i y erh progressive mea sure adopted for the suppression increased the difficulty. The rash and ill-judged appeal better feeling of a portion of the Chinese com munity, urging them to induce their clansmen to forego the strife, was the very acme of maudlin senescence—calculated strongly to impress on the native mind the timidity and weakness of the exe cutive, and their distrust in the means at their com mand for enforcing the re-establishment of order. Singapore, both the town and the interior, is crowded with Chinese, and the arrivals from China weekly are considerable of refugeesfrom the Imperialist and rebel ports. These ruffians—the elements of mis chief—are cast on our shores without Occupation or means, ripe for plunder, with a perfect disregard of human life, and at deadly enmity with the re spective clans. The Chinese on the island amount to about 60,000. The European community num- L ber about 200, chiefly merchants, whose plaices of business occupy but a small corner of the town. Considering these facts, a grave responsibilty at taches to our rulers in not checking the movement in its birth • for it is quit e ev id en t th a t , b y a rap i d and simultaneous combination of the various an tagonistic Chinese societies, the lives of the Euro pean community would be seriously jeopardised on any occasion that those banded ruffians had suffi cient confidence in themselves to make a bold stroke for the mastery. Hence the necessity of stern and decided measures in these occasional lawless outbreaks." Our Calcutta intelligence is • not of such a late date as we had expected, owing to' difficulties which have arisen in the working of the electric telegraph. The Governor- General had a great ball, as usual, on the Queen's birthday, and as yet has shown no symptoms of moving towards the. north-west. Again a vacancy has been made in the secretaryship of the Bank of Bengal by the death of Mr. Maples so recently appointed to the office. This time the deputy -secretary of the bank, Mr. Plumb, has been appointed. Its rates of interest and discount have been lowered lately. It is expected that the com mission to inquire into Rajah Brooke's affairs will be issued after the arrival of next mail, and that Messrs. Prinsep and Devereux, the members of it, will immediately thereafter proceed to the Straits. The British Indian Association continues to hold its monthly meetings, and is showing some signs of activity. Two distinguished natives died lately at Calcutta, Russomoy Dutt and the Baboo Mutty Loll Seal, who has left property valued at more than a crore of rupees. The Governor-General has announced the abolition of the Off-reckon ing Fund. Thi clothing boards at the three Presidencies have also been abolished, and the duties will hereafter be performed by a respon sible officer, to be styled " Superintendent of Army Clothing." The clothing will continue to be made up under army clothing agents, the staff pay of those who may hereafter be appointed being fixed at 750 rupees per month. The most import ant piece of news from Madras is the formation of the new Indian Reform Association. It was formed at a public meeting of the inhabitants, convened by the sheriff of Madras, and Mr. James Ouch terlony occupied the chair. The resolutions moved and adopted were very moderate in tone, and calculated to meet the views of many Indian reformers. The immediate reason advanced for its formation was grounded on the ignorance of the condition of India which exists in Britain, and on the refusal of her Majesty's Ministers to re assemble Parliamentary committees of inquiry into the subject. Special resolutions were carried regard ing the absolutist character of the Indian system of government and the system of land revenue. No limits were placed to the number of members ; but a committee of twenty-one was appointed, with power to add to its number. No Governm en t ser vants of the meet ing.

All hope of the completion of the first instalment of the railway is postponed for a year or two. Here i n B om b ay we have been suffering very much from the great heat and from want of water. Yesterday we had a smart shower, but dust storm m s uwffihcieiehn t had to nannoying de been morethan check the dust us all day. The monsoon has not yet come • almost all the wells on the island are d r i ed up, and cholera is raging in the native town, and even cutting off a larger number of Europeans than usually fall victims to it. The railway receipts for the last month were higher than ever, but latterly the extension to Callian has done little to increase the number of passengers. The gross receipts from 18th April, 1853 (the day of the opening of the line), to 16th April last, amount to Rs. 1,25,571 4-3 • and those from the first-mentioned d a t e up to the day the statements are made up (21st May), amount to Rs. 1,38,823 6-2. The railway is invaluable to us at present, for more than 30,000 gallons of water are carried into the town from Salsette, by a special train employed for the purpose. A number of boats also are employed in conveying the precious element from the island of Elephanta. Not the less merrily on this account, however, was the anniversary o f her Majesty's birthday Observed. Thousands of natives and others went out by the railway to Callian, and in the evening the house and grounds at Pared were brilliantly illuminated, to the delight ap4Potewitems. - _Lord Elphinstone hits remained Min Bombay during the whole of the hot season, but intends to remove to the Deccan after the first burst of the monsoon.

We regret to announce the death of Baboo Russomoy Dutt, which took place on Sunday evening. His illness was of a nature which at his age left but little hope from the first. Baboo Russomoy Dutt was the &et native of Bengal who was ever appointed to the bench of the Petty Court, where he has sat about 1G years, having retained his post when the jurisdiction of the court was enlarged, and its title altered to that of Small Clause Court. The experiment of employing a native has completely answered, for it may be safely said that no judge who ever presided in that court has given more general satis faction. The Baboo had not the advantage of a legal education, but his habits of business, and knowledge of the the people, particularly qua li f i ed him for disentangling conflicting statements of the great majority of suitors who appear in that tribunal. jlt is reported that he will be succeeded by the present unior magistrate, Baboo Hurroochunder Ghose, who is perhaps better qualified for the Small Clause Court than for the police, though it must be allowed that he has latterly got through his arduous duties very creditably. It is also stated that it is intended to appoint a native as his successor at the police, and that Baboo Loke nauth Bose is the person likely to be selected, he hav ing filled the post of Suddur Ameen for some years.

At a general court-martial, assembled at Umballah, on Friday, Feb. 24, 1854, Quartermaster John Gillespie, of her Majesty's 98th Regiment of Foot, was tried on the following charges : "That he, John Gillespie, on the 9th day of January, 1854, at Umballah, he being then and there an officer serving in the territories of the East India Company, at a distance of 120 miles front the presidency of Fort William, did feloniously, wilfully, and of his malice aforethought, kill and murder one Goolzar Ram, Choo mar." Finding. —The Court find that the prisoner, Quarter master John Gillespie, of her Majesty's 98th Regiment of Foot, is guilty of having feloniously killed' and slain the deceased Goolzar Ram, but that he is not guilty of having wilfully, and of his malice forethought, murdered the said Geolzar Ram ; and of so much of the charge the Court acquits the prisoner. Sentence.—The court sentence the prisoner. Quarter master John Gillespie, of her Majesty's 98th Regiment of Foot, to imprisonment in the fortress of 4gra for the term of four years. J. H. GEAR; Lieut.-Colonel, 9th Royal Lancers, President. Umballab, March 8, 1854.

Revised Sentence.—The court do now sentence the prisoner, Quartermaster John Gillespie, of her Majesty's 98th Regiment of Foot, to be transported as a felon for the term of fourteen (14) years.

The Commander-in-Chief wouldwillingly take advan tage of anyextenuating circumstances to save the prisoner from the ignominious doom to which he has been consigned, but in his Excellency's opinion the court have already made full allowance in their merciful sentence for every thing that has appeared in evidence of a nature favour able to the prisoner, and it amounts to little more than this, that it was not his intention to murder his unfortu nate victim. The man was sent for by the prisoner to his house and there cruelly and deliberately beaten in revenge for an assumed wrong—an unproved charge of theft —and almost immediate death was the result. The court have arrived at a just verdict, and have passed what may be considered far from a severe sentence upon the prisoner. The name of Quartermaster John Gillespie is to be struck off from the rolls of her Majesty's 98th Regiment, from the sth April, 1854, the date of the confirmation of the sentence, from which date he ceased to belong to her Majesty's service. Under instructions already given, the removal of the prisoner to the Presidency is being effected, with the view to the sentence of transportation passed upon him being carried into execution. The term of transportation is to be reckoned from the Bth of March, 1852, the day on which the original sentence was assign. ed by the president.

REPORT OF THE STATE OF THE BOMBAY MARKETS FROM THE 23D MAY TO THE 6TH JUNE, 1854. During the past fortnight our money market has been dull, as usual at this season, and but little occurred worthy of remark. Money is becoming more abundant in the Bazaar, now that the demand has nearly ceased, and a reduction of one per cent. in the rate of discount has been made by the Bank of Bombay. Government securities and all descriptions of joint-stock shares - are almost unsaleable, and the quotations in our price cur rent must be considered quite nominal. Few or no transactions of any kind in the general market have taken place during the past fortnight. The season may now be considered as closed, and the sales that have taken place have been by dealers on specula tion ; and under these circumstances it is impossible to give any quotations with correctness, as the - rates on almost all despriptions of manufacture must be regarded as nominal. The stocks in hand of all goods are heavy, and more than sufficient to meet all probable demands, which for the next three months must be local. Yarns of all descriptions are extremely dull. Metals—The only transaction we have to-report is in braziers' copper, at a somewhat reduced rate. Cotton—There is little or nothing doing, and prices are firm, notwithstanding unfavourable accounts from England and China, and this deters shipments to either market. The stock is large, and is being stored up in view of the approaching rains. A few sales have taken place, the price for Surat and Broach being rupees 91, for Oomrawutty 89k, and Dhollera. 804 per candy. In other descriptions, no transactions have occurred. Freights—These have been maintained. Vessels have been taken to supply tonnage for goods received from the Malabar coast, the rates to London for general cargo being 41. 155., and for oil 51. 15s. to 61. per ton; to Liverpoof, 41. 5d., with St. for oil, but these- rates must soon give way. To China, rupees 18 to 19 per candy. Exchange—Very few transactions on England have occurred, in consequence of the limited sales of goods ; still, however, rates have further declined, and may nose be quoted at 2s. Old. to 2s. ld. for first-class credits, and 2s. 11d. for local drafts, at six months' sight. BOMBAY MONEY-MARKET, JUNE 6. EXCHANGES.

Robert Lord Auckland, who has recently been translated to the Bishopric of Bath and Wells, was enthroned in Wells Cathedral. His lordship, attended by his chaplains, was met by the receiver of the see, and put in possession of the temporalities of the bishopric. A chapter was held, when the bishop delivered the mandateofthe Archbishop of Canterbury , and assumed th e episcopal robes. The oaths were administered to his lordship by the Very Rev. G. H. Sacheverell Johnson, M.A, , Dean of Wells, and he was then formally inducted into his stall; In virtue of his bishopric Lord Auckland has ecclesiastical patronage at his disposal worth 15,0001. THE GROUSE. —The favourable reports which I sent you some time ago from the northern moors are not sup ported by those from Ayrshire, where it is said that many grouse have been found dead, and the birds seem far from numerous. Black game , however, is reported to be very plentiful—more so than for many years.— Edinburgh Correspondent, BOILER EXPLOSION AT ROCHDALE, - - A frightful accident of this character, involving a fearful loss of life and a large destruction of property, took place at an early hour on Saturday morning, at Bridge-fold-mill, Rochdale. The buildings destroyed by the explosion belonged to Mr. John Lord, solicitor, and were situated on the banks of the Roach. They consisted of a two-storied house occupied by Mr. Wil liamson, a cottage occupied by Mr. Howarth and his wife (who were both killed), Howarth's father and two children. Adjacent to these were the extensive works, employing in one room 76 looms, in another 64 looms. The hands went to work as usual at six o'clock to the number of between 60 and 70, and they were waiting for the starting of the engine. There was a delay, owing to the absence of the engineer, whose duty was taken by Howarth and one William Taylor, both overlookers, and inexperienced men ; and most likely their ignorance caused the explosion. On a sudden a loud report was heard, followed by a terrible explosion, which made an entire wreck of the property around. Some masons at work on a church upon a hill near, observed the buildings, as it were, raised in a mass, and the people who escaped running wildly away from them. In a short time a body of police were on the spot, with several medical men, and an examination of the pre mises was at once proceeded with. The first object dis covered was the headless body of a young female, the head of which had been forced through a window of a house across the road. The body was subsequently identified to be that of Ann Nicholls, a weaver, aged 21. At the end of four or five hours it was discovered that no more bodies were in the debris. The following frightful list of casualties was then made out : DEAD. Ann Scott, weaver, aged 22. Ann Nicholls, weaver, aged 21, head blown off. Joseph Greenwood, a young man, a jobber. Thomas Howarth, oyerlooker, aged 37. He was in charge of the engine. - Sarah Howarth, his wife, 35, killed in the house ; leaves two children. William Taylor, overlooker, 40. He was acting as fireman. He was married, and leaves a wife and two children. Betsey Brierly, weaver, aged 20. Alice Ashworth, weaver, aged 22. Jane Ashworth, 21 years of age, her sister, not dead when found, but expired a few hours after. Jane Halkyard, a young woman. INJURED. Selina Diggle, weaver, aged 21, compound and simple fracture of right thigh ; not likely to recover. Elizabeth Waddington, weaver, 15, both thighs and one leg broken. Robert Widdop, weaver, 33, two severe fractures of the skull. Absolom Collinge, weaver, 20, more or less bruised and injured. Jane Walker, weaver, 18, extensive fracture of the base of the skill ; not likely to recover. Margaret Nuttal, tenter ; Sarah Scholefield, weaver, 18 ; John Ashworth, 22, weaver, husband of Alice Ashworth, one of those killed ; Alice Stansfield, weaver, 28, married, and three children ; James Pearson, wea• ver, 8 ; Alice Collingwood, weaver, 15 ; Betty Collinge, weaver, 26. The inquest upon the bodies will be opened at the Wellington Hotel, by Mr. Dearden, the coroner, this (Monday) afternoon.

This enterprising young traveller has undergone , re a t hardships of many kinds, an d th e following extracts' are from a letter to Mr. Gallon, dated Cape Town, May is, and communicated by that gentleman t o the Royal Geo graphical Society :-- Mr. Andersson was successful in reaching the Lak e Ngami, from the western coast, which, by dead reckon- ing from Tunobis, corrected by latitude, he places in the 23d meridian. From that place he ascended the Teoge River, which runs into it, for thirteen days, in which he accomplished 150 miles of distance ; but from the strangely serpentine character of its course he only made sixty miles of northing from the Lake. He says, " the river is very narrow, never, perhaps, exceeding forty yards in width, but generally it is very deep. It runs with a varying velocity of from two to three miles an hour, and the banks being in most in stances low, and in some places altogether wanting, the country is often inundated for miles and miles, presenting to the eye an endless lake, filled up with reeds and rushes, and studded with islands covered with a rich and luxurient vegetation." His information places beyond a doubt the existence of the Biribi River, which, rising two or three days' journey to tho west of Lake Ngami, runs to the north west, and, almost beyond doubt, is an affluent of that great stream which `runs from east to west, forming ac cording to Mr. Galton's discoveries, the northern boun dary of Ovampo land. From the neighbourhood of Lake Ngami it, therefore, appears practicable to travel by river conveyance to the Atlantic, and Dr. Lushing ton's late discoveries prove the same fact as regards the Indian Ocean. It, therefore, seems very likely that with a small break of 50 or GO miles, there is a water communication of large rivers right across Africa. near the 17th parallel of south latitude. From Valfisch Bay to Lake Ngami the Tsetse Fly does not exist, and the country is perfectly healthy. Damara and Namaqua land abound in copper ore, and traders from the Cape are already establishing themselves in Valfisch Bay. Mr. Andersson has, with great care, taken very many bearings and latitude observations, and his map is daily expected at the Royal Geographical Society from Gene- Cathcart. He is one of the keenest of sportsmen, and closes his letter as follows :—" I had some fil shooting going to the Lake ; single-handed I kill, thirty-nine rhinoceroses and eight elephants, and tha too, on foot. A black rhinoceres that I had wound, _ _ seriously, got hold of me one night and bruised atd wounded me in such a fearful manner th a t m y men ga e me up for lost ; for fourteen days I was unable to move any part of my body without assistance ; I think, hoW ever, I have recovered almost entirely from the shoek. I have also been under the trunk of an elephant,. bit, strange to tell, escaped unhurt ; I had also a narrow escape from a wounded hippopotamus, who upset one . of my canoes. The men were all saved, but most of my luggage found a watery grave. Now tha: I have got safe out of all these things, I can sympathise with the traveller who, when attacked by robbers, exclaimed, 'all right ; this will add to the interest of my travels." " If my next letter from home brings me more cheer ful tidings, I shall, probably start immediately 'on another expedition—that is, if I can procure the meani." FATAL ACCIDENT.--SERIOUS Loss OF LIIE.—HULL, July 13.—An accident, attended with serious conse quences, occurred this morning. A large iron vessel was in the act of launching from the yard of Messrs. Earles, in the Victoria Dock. A great number of per sons were on her decks, when she suddenly capsized, and precipitated the greater part into the water. Five bodies have been already found ; the number lost is un. certain, as much unavoidable confusion prevails. SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—MONTROSE, July 13.—A serious accident occurred yesterday afternoon in Messrs. Duthie and Cochar's building-yard, by the falling of a stage, whereby 9 individuals, including the 2 employers, were more or less injured. One young lad had his arm smashed at the elbow, and several others were cut about the head and face. Mr. Duthie is able to be out to-day, although his side is all discoloured ; but, we regret to find that Mr. Cochar, having sustained some internal injury, is not likely to be at his post for a good while to come. Electric communication, between Stockholm and. Got tenburg was opened on the 4th, the anniversary of the King's birth-day. The first despatch was from Gotten burg, and consisted of a compliment to the Xing, sent by Major-General "Akrelle.

LEEDS, July 14.—We have no change -to report in the state of the woollen trade this week. The markets have been of a steady character, and a fair ave rage business was done in both the cloth halls on Saturday as well as on Tuesday. There have been several buyers in the town this week, both from Lon don and other parts of the country ; there has conse quently been a fair steady business done in the ware houses for the home trade. The shipping houses are also doing a little for the Canada marketr'_ numerously attended meeting of the vestry of St- Marylebone was held at the Court-house on Saturday, et which the members for the borough, Lord Dudley Stuart and Sir B. Hall, were present. Mr. Bridgman having been *ailed to the chair, The CHAIRMAN said, he was requested by Si r B en j am i n Hall to observe th at he was desirous of making a state., ment to the vestry whi c h was o f very great importance. Sir B. HALL said, it was true that he had a communions tion to make to the vestry from the Secretary of State for the Home Department, which he hail no doubt they would conceive, as he did hinaself, to be one of the very greatest importance, not only to Marylebone, but to every district of the metropolis. (Hear.) The subject to which his com• munication referred was the.e knew e introductionCommission,a t a o s f a the subjectrepresen tative,ipon which principle into the Metropolit an Commission, of he Bewers ir w e (Hear,as b hear.)ut o H ne general opinion, not only in Mary lebone, but in all other parts of the metropolis. It had been the intention of the Home Secretary to introduce another continuance bill of the present Sewers Commission for a year, pending the proceedings likely to arise from the City Corporation Commission Inquiry, which it was expect e d would of f the som metropolis, general scheme not eni only with legislation rregard to for the he management sewers, but all other ma tt ers . B u t for this, it might h ave occurred that they m i g ht no t h ave a me asure for th e ma• g e of nagement of the sewage of the metropolis upon the repre sentative principle as its basin for some years to come. The Royal commission to inquire into the management of the corporation of London had reported, and upon that report it was proposed to found a measure which would, in all probability, be prepared and introduced into Par liament before next Easter, and which would be based upon that spirit of legislation which they were aware had been so frequently urged upon the Government, and Lord Palmerston in particular, by his noble colleague and him self. The vestry might probably be aware of the fact that Lord Palmerston had desired to have the opinions of the whole of the Parliamentary representatives of the metropolis as to the basis of his continuance bill for the Metropolis Sewers Commission for another nine or twelve months, until the general legislation for the management of the metropolis should be carried out. In accordance with the invitation, the whole of the metro- politan members waited upon Lord Palmerston on the pre vious day and offered their suggestions. Their interview with Lord Palmerston lasted nearly an hour and a-half, and at its conclusion Lord Palmerston said that, althongh his intention was simply to bring in a continuence bill for maintaining the Metropolis Sewers Commission, as at pre• sent constituted, for another twelvemonth, or until such time as would enable the general legislative measure for the metropolis to be completed ; yet he felt that the represen tations which had been made to him by the metropolitan members, on behalf of their constituents, were so strong and so just that he could not allow even this continuance bill for Dino or twelve months to be carried without the infusion of the repres en t a ti ve principle into the Metrepo itan im portant point had been gained. (R ear, hear.) It was then Titan p Sewers Commission. (Cheers.) Th us a great and im agreed that the second reading of the continuance bill should be unopposed, and that clauses for the infusion of the representative principle into the commission should be introduced in committee. (Hear.) Among the cla uses which would be introduced into this new bill, until the general principle of legislation was introduced, and even, no doubt, in that, was that separate accounts should be kept of the sewage of the metropolis and its expendi. turn for the north and the south side of the Thames, and that the expense of repairing and constructing new sewers, &c., should be charged on the north and south sides of the Thames separately. The main trunk sewers, which had been projected under the sanction of Sir R. Stephenson, Sir W. Cubitt, and other engineers, were to be carried out. These reports and plans were now out, and he (Sir B. Hall) having himself minutely examined them, had no hesitation in saying, that he believed the plans sug gested were most practicable and excellent, and a sum of 300,0001. was proposed to be raised for the construction of these great main outlets to the sewage of the metropolis. As regarded the communications with these outlets, and the sectional drainage and sewage of the metropolis, that was a matter which was to be left to the future commission, and he hoped, and had no doubt, it would be carried out in a most efficient and bene ficial manner for the whole metropolis. Then, as to the constitution of the commission, Lord Palmer. ston said he felt it was only right to give way to the representations which had been made to him in the in troduction of the representative element. (Hear.) Now . , what was his lordship's proposal ? It was this, that the temporary commission should consist of 13 members, the present paid chairman to retain his seat. That the Govern ment should appoint six members of the commission, and that the metropolitan members should appoint one gentle. man from each of the localities they represent. He thought the vestry would agree with him that this was more than they could have expected in a mere continuance bill. It was certainly a step in that direction which had never been taken by any Secretary of State before, and showed the liberal and enlightened views of the noble viscount at the present moment at the head of the Home Department. (Hear, hear.) Now; his (Sir Benjamin" Hall's) noble friend and colleague, Lord Dudley Stuart; and himself were desirous of being relieved from ithe actual re,on sibility of appointing themselves the gentlemen who should represent the borough of Marylobone in the Sewers Commission, and, therefore, what they proposed was this —that the parishes of Marylobone, St. Pancras, and Paddington should appoint a deputation of equal number to meet together on Thursday or Friday next in that Court house, and select the gentleman whom they wished the borough members to nominate as the representative for the _borough of Marylebone in the Sewers Commission. (Hear, hear.) They had had a deputation from the parish of St. Pancras with them that morning, and they had communicated the same information and given the same advice which he (Sir B. Hall) was now giving to that ves try, and he should take care to make a similar communica • tieu to the authorities of Paddington. In the event' of the gentlemen, when they assembled, being unable to come to an agreement as to the gentlemen they would like to select to represent the borough in the Sewers Commission, then ho (Sir B. Hall) would suggest that three gentlemen should be selected, one from each parish, if they thought proper, and then he and his noble colleague would, after the most minute care and deliberation, select one from the ' three names returned to them to be the. representative of the borough in the Sewers Commission. They would, how. ever, much rather that they were relieved from the re sponsibility of making such a selection, if the deputations could agree upon the gentleman they would like to select themselves. He would also suggest to them, in making their selection, that they should not appoint anybody who had been a Commissioner of Sewers, who was connected with the building trade, or had any connexion with any trade whatever likely to be mixed up with the sewage of the metropolis. He had no doubt whatever but that they would select some gentlemen of high standing and cha racter, who would do justice to the representative principle which they had so 'long contended for, and which be had no doubt would prove highly beneficial to the public. Re thought a great point had been gained, and that this infu sion of the representative principle into the Sewers Com mission would be a stepping-stone to maintain, if not extend, that local self-government they prized STtnuch. Mr. N. LAURIE wished to ask the hon. baronet how he proposed that the votes should be taken when the deputa tions met? He thought it ought to be confined to one vote to each deputation, because, .if each deputation had more than one vote, that pariah which happened to have the preponderance of members present would be sure to secure the election of the gentleman they desired to repro. sent the borough. Sir B. HALL said that was a matter of detail for the gen tlemen themselves when they met as deputations from the respective parishes. Mr. BINGLEY thought the suggestion of the hon. bart., that each parish should select one g entleman, and that thea the borough m em b ers should make the actual ' selection from the three so nominated, an excellent one. Mr. FILMER moved that a committee of five gentlemen be appointed by the vestry to meet a similar number of gentlemen on the subject. Mr. TODD seconded the resolution, and it was carried unanimously.

THE ACCUSER AND ACCUSED.—A pretty young woman was on Saturday tried by the Tribunal of Correctional Police for having stolen a gold watch and chain from a man named Weber.
