THE OVERLAND MAIL. (From the Bombay Times, May 10.) Our advices from Buipah are to the 20th ult. The general state of affairs throughout the country upon the whole satisfactory, although dacoity still exists to, a, great extent. Goung-Gee, one of the l ea d ers , s till heads a predatory band, and a detachment of our troops has proceeded against bite, the primary object being to reach his strong holds, where his granaries are. A letter, dated Renzada, 15th inst., states the Tharawaddie dis , tact is still far from settled; and skirmishes are continually occurring with Goung - Gee's men. Three companies of the 10th Regiment N.I. have been marching about in that district since Decem ber, and will be out for another month. They have met with parties of Goung-Gee's people on several occasions, and have both attacked his vil lages and been attacked by his followers repeatedly. . They are now marching along the base of the hills On the eastern side, burning every village that fires on them. An affair came off a few days ago, in 'which ten men of the Sikhs and Arracau battalion were wounded ; the companies of the 10th, 250 strong, have had altogether three killed and 17 Wounded since December. 'Captain Phillott, who commands the entire detachment, had a narrow escape one day, his pony being' shot under him, and two balls through his solar—topee. A volley Was fired from a jungle at the side of the road. A company of her Majesty's 84th is here ; they accom panied Captain Sparks, the Deputy Commissioner of Rangoon, up the Lyne river, and having left a company of the 19th Native Infantry at Sanguay,- came over here to drop down to Rangoon by water. Another company of the Madras 19th are to accom pany the wing of the Bth Irregulars up to Prome. , They are expected in four or five days. Goung- Gee cannot be caught, and he is naturally reluctant to abandon a district that has owned his sway for . many years, and in which he is universally popular. . Another chief, Moung Shway Moung, is threaten- ; jog the north of the Bassein district, but no dis turbance has occurred as yet. There is a report , that Meeaday has been burned, but it has not been : confirmed ; and it is hoped that the Governor-Ge neral will at once adopt measures for the effectual , suppression of dacoity. .We have been in posses- . sion of the country long enough to have exterrni nated these robber bands, and % if they. will not, follow some honest employment e they must be . deStroyed. So long . as they are permitted to' exist they exercise a most damaging influence over the minds of our new subjects, some of whoni imagine that we will eventually vacuate the country when those who have submitted to our rule will be signally punished. To the Delhi Gazette we are in debLed for the following intelligence from Cabal " There. is a report from Heerat that 40 Russians, haviiig been associated with 40 Persian officers, have gone to different places in Central Asia, and two had reached that city. They have engaged to strengthen and occupy neerat for a certain period of time ; and the son of the late Vazeer Yar Mahomed Khan has agreed to leave it and remain in Neeshapoor, a dis trict in Persian Khorasan. But he has not yet started. It is also said that the same Russian and Persian agents will come on to Candahar and Ca bool. Dost Mahomed Khan seems just at present inclined for an alliance with the British Govern ment, while Sooltan Mahomed Khan leans towards :Persia. There is also a report that the Russians .have built and garrisoned a fort on the shores of the ;sea (whether Caspian or Aral is not stated), five :marches from Oorgunge, no water intervening. 'Jafar Khan, on the part of Dost Mahomed Khan and Meer Dad Khan from Sooltau Mahomed Khan, who had gone as agents to Persia, have not yet re turned. Nawab Jubber Khan is really dead. Nazir - -Ehairoullah, who left Cabool some time ago, has arrived at Peshawur, and mentions to the Ameer his satisfactory interview with Aiwut Sahub' Major Edwardes, of course), Bahadur commissioner. ;tie has also spoken to that officer about his own pecuniary affairs, and, in reply, has been told that a he Chief Commissioner, who will shortly be at 1 tawul Pindee, will take his case into consideration, a s that gentleman is Mookhtar Surkar, or Plenipo t, entiary. Several letters, which Dost Mahomed than has received from Heerat, &c., have been ent to the Nizir to show to the Commissioner F lahub. They are of course suited to his own pur- P oses, and therefore sent to Peshawur. Nazir 117.hairoullah, now deputed by DostMahomed Khan t a Peshawur, was originally Nazir or steward of, A ,meer 001-moolk, the late uncle of the Dost. He• vir as prosperous and wealthy ; and before or after tl le death of his master he went to Bokhara, W hence his trade spread as far as the rich markets of Russia. The Ameer, like a true Afghan chief, co yeted his riches, and married his daughter, who re mained in Cabool, while the other members of th e Ameer's family were removed during the Bri , tie It occupation of Cabool. When the Dost surren ----de red his sword to the late Sir W. Macnaghten, aft er the battle of Purwandurah, this lady, daughter of the Nazir, was honourably brought forward by tidy Macnaghten, and united with her exiled and lo i ig-lost husband, the Ameer of Cabool. Such is th 3 account of the Nazir's relationship with the 1 / 4 , )st. Nazir Khairoullah did great service to the un tfortunate Colonels Stoddart and Connolly at Bt 'khara, and at his own personal risk became the tat ilium of the correspondence which those officers cal Tied on with the late Sir W. Macnaghten and Sit • Alex. Burnes. The brutal and savage King of Bo khara, finding out that Nazir Khairoullah was Sec retly attached to the British, plundered him of his open and known property to a considerable anal mat, and compelled him to throw himself agai.n O. his covetous son-in-law, the Afghan chief at Ca boo 1, saving his head at the sacrifice of his wealth. His agent Ahmed Khan, in Berunj Farosh or Mu: adeewal, by fabricating news-letters, like the -late Meer HaSSUT: ' of Cabool, and Taifoor Shah, of Peshiawur, gained the favour of Sir W. Macnaghten lend Bir A. Burnes, and through their influence got ;possession of the rich estates of the Nazir, to the :am ou nt of several lakhs. This man had lent more 'than one lack of rupees of the Nazir's money to :teed the English wounded soldiers and prisoners under Captain John Connolly, when the British force abandoned the cantonment, and were massia c ;red on the road to Jelallabad. This Ahmed Khan ' took away all the movable property and precious I stones of the Nazir from Cabool, and went with k 3.eneral Pollock's force to India. There he was 1 mid in full all the money he had lent to feed the 3ritish soldiers, and thus fraudulently making him elf master of his chief's money, went to Cashmere • nd refused to return to Cabool. Thus all the ✓ realth of the Nazir is now in the hands of the o the treacherous Ahmed. The Nazir, la- Ince his arrival at Cabool, has been inducing, by • coney and promises of future presents, several c- aiefs, such as the late Nawab Jubber Khan, ( lholam Mahomed Khan Mookhtar, and others, t ) use their influence with the Ameer, and is castigate the latter to open communications for cintracting an alliance of peace with the British (3,overnment. The Ameer was also told by the 11 razir that his interference with the British would cilitate the way for recovering his money from .his agent, which sum will be al ways at the dis posal of the Ameer. These proposals had been tong under the consideration of the Ameer, till tews arrived from Persia and Bokhara that the aoosee and Roomee (Russians and Turks) were ighting, and that the English would also join the I atter. Agaiu the friends of the Nazir stirred up 1- he matter and the cunning Ameer found a favour s .hle opportunity offered toll= to open negotiations Tith the British through the agency of the Nazir. 1 tis his custom to play a double game, but he will a lways try to get the effectual support of the Rus , s :an and Persian Governments, unless the British iVe him at least the Peshawur territory, of which ' 1 .e always talks. So the Nazir has done good ser- N ice to the British at Bokhara. ; and having induced t he Ameer of Cabool to enter into his views, has ow to come as agent to negotiate a treaty of alli nce at Peshawar. Messengers have arrived in labool with a report that the Russians and Hoc 13 iinjees (or people of Kbiva) have become one, a 1 rill be joined by.the King of Bokhara. The letter thich the Dost has received from Persia has been ent to Peshawur through Nazir Khairoullah, in thieh the King, it is said, has told him either to tared by him or by the English. One of the sons of I Lhe Candabar Chiefs has gone by express to the King of Persia. The Ameer has also heard with jealousy that his Candahar brothers are secretly correspond ing with the Sahub Commissioner of Sindh through th e Kohat Chief. Gholam Haider Kban is at Jel elalabad, and amusing himself with drilling his Force, and Mahomed Azeem Khan is gone to collect 'the revenue of the Keen= Province. He has -killed several refractory Maliks or head men of the - villages, and plundered their property and children, :both girls and boys, to the number of 20) persons in all. Mahomed Shah Khan Ghilzaee has come on a visit of consultation to the Akhoond of Sai,vat.” Mr. Gillespie, Quartermaster of H.M. 98th B,e -siment, who murdered his horse-keeper at Um oallah, has, it is said, been sentenced to transpor tation, but no official announcement has yet appear ed- From Calcutta and Madras we have no intelli gence of moment. General Sewell is, it is con fidently believed, to be confirmed as commander lh-claief of tho latter presidency. Lord Harris ar t'ived in Madras on the 2Sth ult.

The tornado which we mentioned in Tir last summary as having visited Rungpoor in Bengal, and destroyed the inhabitants, appears _ lO have travelled almost due south at a mcde '4,te, pace, for, it was not until the evening ' 3l the 12th ultimo. that we hear of it in Jesioie.

Next morning the dead bodies were found a long way off—some with arms and legs broken—and one man was carried away and dashed into the ground to the depth of two feet ! Not only horses were carried away, but also the ground on ; which, they, stood. The fish were blown out of the wafer, and fell dead in the paddy fields, and all the grass and paddy. which came in its way were torn out of the ground. This is, doubtless, an exaggerated account, but there can be no question that the hurricane, was one of tremendous violence, such as has not occurred in India probably within the memory of any one. The electric telegraph pro ceeds rapidly, and before the close of the year it is expected to reach Peshawur. The line between Calcutta and Delhi is to be opened on the Queen's birthday. The line between Bombay and Indore is complete, and the first direct message was re ceived at the Presidency yesterday afternoon. Mr. William Maples, of the civil service, second assistant to the accountant-general, has been elected secretary of the Bank of Bengal, on a salary of three thousand rupees a month. The Governor-General is at present at Calcutta, but intends shortly to visit the north west. The British Indian Association has, we observe, petitioned the Most Noble the Governor- General in Council, that the deliberations of the Legislative Council may be made, under Certain rules and regulations, open to the prebs and the public. After expressing their satisfaction with the rules contained in the 23d section of the Charter Act, for giving solemnity to the proceedings, where by it is provided that no law shall be passed ex cept at meetings, at which either the Governor- General, the Vice-President of the Legislative Council, or an ordinary member of the Supreme Council shall preside, and five other members of the Legislative Council, besides either the C hiefJ us tice, or other justice of the Supreme Court, or the fourth ordinary member of the Council shall he pre sent, they go on to suggest, with a view to the same object, that the meetings of the Legislative Council may be held in such manner that the press and public may have access to them, and that they may be thus reported for general information. Also they pray that parties who may desire to make re presentations to the Legislative Connes may have the privilege of being heard before it through their agents, who will always be able to state more clearly or forcibly any alteration in draft laws, and to pro pose the necessity for new ones, such as may seem necessary or desirable in the judicial proce dure, and in- the law of the country, due regard being had therein to the caste, customs, and re ligious feeling of the community and its various sections. They. state that this liberal course of proceeding is in force in the other dependencies of the Crown of England ' • that it is likely to be at tended with beneficial consequences ; that there is nothing against it by way of restriction in the Charter 'Act ; and, moreover, that questions of a political character, or involving political relations, are never likely to come before • the council for consideration. Colonel Outram proceeds as Lieu tenant-Governor to Aden, the Baroda residentship being conferred on Major D. A. Malcolm, of the Bombay army. The extension of our railway to Callian was opened to the public on the 2d inst., the directors having entertained their friends the day previous to the official opening. The local Government_has resolved to place an apartment in the Secretariate at the disposal of the press, and all such papers and documents as do not imperatively demand secresy, and which are not, therefore, necessarily to be placed under the restrictions of official secresy. This graceful concession will cost the Government nothing ; it will save them from much unwitting and involuntary mis representation on the part of the fourth estate. Compelled, as we and our brethren have so far been, to derive information in a great measure from second hand and sometimes garbled and im perfect sources, it is but natural to suppose that we have more than once been led into comments to time disfavour of our rulers, from which we should have refrained, had we been less imperfectly informed, or known all. Official secresy is an almost exploded farce. These secrets will leak out in spite of all the departments in the world. The question is simply whether it is not better to make matters fully patent, and so guard against the possibility of garbling or misrepre sentation. Lord Elphinstone's Government has very wisely, -as• we think, answered it in the affirmative. We have also to congratulate the Government on a very meritorious selec tion which they have made of a most de serving individual to fill Mr. Richardson's late ap pointment. Mr. • Venaick Wassadeujee, who was once before appointed to a similar post, but whose appointment was unwisely cancelled by the Board of Diredtors, has been nominated by the Governor to the responsible post of Oriental translator to Government, on a salary of seven hundred and fifty rupees per meusem. This is wi it should be. A worthy, able, but hitherto ill-paid servant, has at last received a merited reward for his faithful services; The • Honourable Company's steamer Feroze left for the Persian Gulf yesterday, and the defences of Bombay are being put in order as if for the reception of an enemy; by the latest intel ligence the Russian squadron were near Singapore. Lord Elphinstone, intends celebrating her Ma jesty's birthday in a manner very different to his predecessor. A. ball is to come off at Go vernment House, and the various public offices are to be closed. There is an unceasing tightness in the money-market ; while in the general market a good deal of business has been forced at unre munerative, if not losing rates. COMMERCIAL. REPORT OF THE STATE OF THE BOMBAY MARKETS. FROM THE 28TH APRIL TO THE 9TH Mir, 1854. We have again to report increasing tightness in the money market, and though the banks made no advance in the rates of discount since the date of our last report, yet the demand- for money is becoming so great that such a step is considered not unlikely ere long.. Govern ment Securities and all descriptions of joint stock shares continue in consequence depressed, and all our quota tions are generally lower than lastanail. Since the depaiture . of the last mail for England, ten days ago, near the close of the season has caused dealers to be particularly cautious in making purchases, targ already well supplied with goods for the interior of the country. Some importers of goods being anxious to clear them off, before the setting in of the S.W. mon soon, have forced them on the market at a reduction on former prices, this has effectually put a stop to any im provement in the value of goods, added to which there is at present a great scarcity of money. Thus we have to report a fall in value of most classes of goods, without any prospect of an early reaction. FREIGHTS.—The demand still keeps firm at 4/. to 4/. 2s. 6d. to Liverpool, and 4/. ss. to 41. 7s. 6d. to London. We hear of some difficulty existing in pro curing freight to the Mauritius, although tonnage seems plentiful. EXCHANGE—has declined since last report, and may be quoted at 2s. lid. for first-class credits, and 2s. Id. for documents six months's sight. CHINA. THE CHINESE REVOLUTION.-ANTICI PATED FALL OF PEKIN. HONG KONG, April 22.—Accounts from Pekin state that the place must fall in a fortnight. The Emperor had been in great danger, having escaped only just in time, attended by 2,000 cavalry. The affair at Shanghai is explained. The Eur o pe a n residents having been insulted and pillaged by the Imperial besieging force, formed themselves into a body of 300 voluntbers, made a sortie with 4 guns, and enabled the insurgents to capture the enemy's artillery and camp, with an immense booty. The English and French squadrons on the sta tion were preparing to attack the Russian fleet., The insurrection azainst the authorities at Ma ni l la had been with difficulty suppressed. -- The - following is from the China Mail, dated Hong Kong, April 22 : " By way of Shanghai we have the substance of Pekin Gazettes nearly a month later than had been received at the - date of our last overland. They contain intelligence ~of the continued pursuit of the rc.bels in the metropolitan province, and we formerly .stated that they had been forced to abandon Tuh-lin, Tsing-hae, and other places of importance. • The Generals Tsina-kik-lin-sin and Shang-paon report an attack they had made on the rebels at Suhching (apparently a village) on the 23d of February, but their success on the occasion does not seem to have been very decided. " According to the latest Gazettes., however, the Imperial forces after Wards succeeded in dislodging the rebels from Suchching, and on the 7th March and the five following days, obtained a succession of victories. Therebels were driven from Hien Hien, in Ho'.iien department, and the last notice states that they had retreated to-Fau-ching-hien, a distance of 50 'or 60 miles to the south-west from the position they formerly occupied in T'ien-tsien department, such a retreat being .the most certain'evidence of, defeat, and it has been attended with the lossl of many men, • . gfins, and standards. These vic tories of the Imperialists will have the effect of saving the capital from attack, at all events until the , ebels can muster another army. _ _ • But while the Imperial troops are thus success ful in Pe-dhih-li, they suffered serious reverses in other provinces. The Gazettes confirm our surprise that Lu-ehau in• Ngan-hwui had been used as the provincial capital - Since 'the' capture of Egan-king on thel4th leTanuary, when the official seals of the Governor and Provincial Treasurer were both lost. After I that capture the rebels, on the 14th of February, THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 12, 1854. 'took Luh-chau, which is to the north west of iin-chau, and from the Gazette of the 10th of March,. it _appears that, proceeding still further to the 'north west; they had taken the district city of . Yin„ashang in the department of Ying-chau ; and then,- diverging to the north-east and passing by the departmental city of Ying-chau, they had also takeh the district city of Mung-ching iu that depaitment. But "as at every step there has been pretty hard fighting, their progress is slow ; and the contest still promises' to be a very protracted one. The British ship Dumfries, of 468 tons, which left Shughai on the .3d instant for Liverpool with a full cargo of tea (about 560,00 P lb.), was totally wrecked on the Pescadores oh the evening of the llth. . Crew saved. _ _ _ His Excellency Sir John Bowring arrived in the harbotir at night of the 12th, and landed next morning under the salute, due to his rank, from the battery,. repeated by the men of war, both British and Amerkau. At noon he was sworn in as Go vernor`and Vice-A dmiral of Hong Kong, and Chief Superintendent of British Trade in China. SPORTING NOTES. ASCOT HEATH.RACES: Thing; were somewhat dreary at Ascot on Saturday. Few horses had arrived in the neighbourhood, and the preparations for the approaching meeting were not so variously and busily displayed as on former anniversaries. Gipsies had pitched their tenth by the road-side, and were scattered anion the furze on the heath, but their numbers appeared to be diminished, and their dirty-like children seemed to lack their _wonted energy to pursue chance travellers for " coppers." Whether the opening of the Crystal Palace had caused this change, it is' not my business or inclination .to inquire. One old time honoured custom, too, has graduallydwindled into 'decay. In bygone years trainers would assemble in the jockeys' stand on the Saturday afternoon to smoke their pipes, en joy their grog, and talk over the prospects of the meeting. Railways have, however, destroyed this social intercourse, for on Saturday last two gentlemen only were present, and one of whom, a well-known trainer living in the vi cinity, as if to mark the death of old custom, appeared not as was his wont, in boots, but in shoes and gaiters ! The waifs and strays which I gathered i❑ the way of in- formation were of little worth. Kingston had been brought direct, I believe, from Epsom, and was com fortably stalled at Ben Land's. They with whom I talked were loud in their expressions of admiration as to the horse's form and condition. Every morning he took regular, steady exercise, and went as light and free as a bird on wing. The opinion seemed to gain consistency respecting the probable withdrawal of Virago from all her engagements during the meeting. Until lam in possession of more definite information, hoWever, relative to the mare's unfitness, I shall merely place her " under. suspicion," and not " act " upon the reports' which are now so widely circulated. important o o nr r tla e d na e tt t e e‘ rn ,mc pot "coming promise eidu gtoevtrace events," ts e i I Isihna made dwowbs on. Saturday" of hheem ost prin cipalring items in, the programme under discussion. Twenty seven races are appointed to be decided during the four days, and the supply of sport will be scarcely below the average. The Trial Stakes closed with twelve nomina tions, Snowdon Dunhill, Welham, and Eliza, being the most attractive names on paper. On Saturday " liking" for Kingston for the Ascot Stakes was pretty plainly indicated. The occurrences of the last two days have tended to confirm it. Thithe is a good, game horse, 'repent proofs have been afforded, and his impost on the present occasion, although un questionably trying, will not be sufficiently heavy to militate materially against his chance of success. Should Bracken be intended to do battle for this event, and not for the more important and desirable trophy— The Queen's Vase—l shall be inclined to regard his pretensions with favour. At present, however, I must put him out of the question, and select KINGSTON, PANCAKE, and HERCULES, against the field. The next "heavy weight" of import ance after Kingston appears to be Ilex. The doubts which exist relative to the starting of Virago for the Queen's Vase render it -somewhat diffi cult, until they be resolved, to pursue operations on this event. In her absence, the race will doubtless he be tween Stockwell and the best of Mr. Parr's, perhaps Rataplan. The winner will, I fancy, be Stockivell. For the Welcome Stakes I shall select Weathercock, and for the Ascot Derby, Marble Hill and Apropos. No trustworthy information relative to the " young sters" likely to make their debut for the Sixth Ascot Triennial Stakes is yet to be obtained. I shall not, therefore, hazard a guess at the probable result. The most knowing a dvertising " prophet" will find - himself sorely puzzled to pick ,, the winner of the Royal Hunt Cup, and will doubtless after all, and notwithstand ing-his boasted stable information, "miss his tip." My old " fancy," which I expressed on Saturday, I am dis inclined to change. I then wrote - "Ephesus is certainly not handicapped out of the race for the Hunt Cup. The otheranimals whose respective chances look well on pa per are Filbert, Calamus; Marc Antony, and Alembic." All persons seem pretty well agreed that the "Fernhill" is a certainty for either Bessie or Flatterer.—Nuf ced, therefore, to use a Yankeeism. For the Coronation Stakes I am inclined to place some confidence in Scrtie. In her default Strutaway may win. West Australian will, in my opinion, experience little difficulty in carrying off the Triennial Stakes for 4 years-old, should he enter the lists for it. Sittingbourne and the Reiver are the other animals of note; both have, however, of late figured in so questionable a form that the victory of Vanderdecken over them will not be surprising. The weights for the Half Mile Handicap have not yet been published. Thursday's events I shall reserve for future discussion —merely delivering my present opinion as to the pro babilities for the Cup being, now Virago is likely to be among the missing, in favour of Stockwell and Kingston. The race with these two horses will doubtless be close and exciting, and on the assumption that both will go fit and well to the post, I shall expect the result to be recorded in favour of Stockwell.

During the past week she has been visited by thousands of the pleasure excursionists . from the manufacturing districts, which affords sufficient evidence• of the interest taken by every class of the community in this national vebsel.

Neptune and Nile. In the former ship, it is said that nearly all the officers are hors de combat with this disease. The hospital ship Belleisle had ,not' arrived.—Medical Times and Gazette. WANT GF MEDICAL OFFICERS IN THE BALTIC FLEET. —ln the Royal George, with a crew of 950 men on board, and 40 short of complement, and with a sick list vary ing from 90 to 114, and in daily expectation of going into action, the surgeon has but one acting assistant surgeon, and he has only five months' experience of the service. The Edinburgh and Blenheim, both ships of the line, have only ,one assistant-surgeon, and some . of the smaller ships have a surgeon alone wi thout any assis tant. It is painful to contrast the inadequate medical staff actually supplied to our splendid fleet with Sir J. Graham's statements in the House of Commons of the multitude of applicants for admission into the service. A return of the medical officers now serving in the Bal tic and Black Sea fleets, and the number each ship aught to have, would afford an instructive contrast.—Medical Times and Grzette. CAPTAIN YELVERTON OF THE ARROGANT is the son of John Joseph Henry, Esq., of Straffan, and . of Emily Elizabeth, sister to the Duke of Leinster. On his mar riage in 1845 with the Baroness Grey de Ruthyn kßar bare Yelverton), widow of the second Marquis of Hast ings, he assumed the surname of Yelverton.

MELANCHOLY Loss or LIFE ON THE RIVER.—•Last Saturday evening an accident, attended with fatal con sequences, occurred on the river nea r Blackfriars - bridge, young under ttnhaen,foblelOtzeinegn 16andI years of age, but w h ose circumstances . ..—The deceased, a name did not transpire, was, with four others about his own age, taking a row along the river, after having wit• neared the opening of the Crystal Palace at Sydenham, when just as they shot Blackfriars-bridge on the Surrey side, they appeared to have lost all control over the boat, allowing it to be drifted along by the tide, which was then flowing rapidly. As the boat approached sonic barges moored in the stream, deceased, as if fearing their slender craft would be capsized, caught bold of the fore most barge, whence he hung while the boat glided from under him. His companions, who were paraly se d w i t h horror at his situation, lost all self-possession, and let the boat proceed uncontrolled with the rapid current. The pierman at Blackfriars - bridge, seeing the perilous situation of deceased, rowed with all speed towards the spot where ho was swinging between the barge and the river, but before the pierman could reach him the unfor tunate youth lost his grasp, and falling into the water instantly disappeared, having been drawn under the barges. The boats of the Thames police and other boats instantly shoved off towards his relief, and the drags were put into immediate requisition. But all efforts to recover the body were unavailing, and the presumption was that the. tide carried it away. Deceased's com panions, as might be naturally supposed, were distracted at the melancholy fate of their companion, who during the day was the merriest of the whole of theni, having been the life of the party.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY). . . ••The June session of the above court was opened this morning, before the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, the Right Hon. the Recorder, Mr.- Alderman Farebrother. Mr. Alderman Hunter, Mr. Alderman Rose, Mr. Sheriff Wire, Mr. Sheriff Wallis, &c., &c. The first edition of the calendar contains the names of 126 prisoners. The Recorder, on charging the grand jury, expressed his regret at observing that the calendar was not . only heavy in regard to the number of prisoners, but also that it contained several very grave charges. There were two cases of murder of a very serious description, in one of which a man named Simmons was charged with destroying the life of a woman by stabbing her. In this case a question might arise as to the state of mind of the accused ; but the grand jury would have nothing to do with that question, and if the fact were proved it would be their duty to find a bill for murder. The other case was one of a very distressing character, a woman being accused of the murder of her child, or step child, by a series of acts of cruelty of the most brutal description. It appeared, however, that no deadly weapon had been made use of, and that after the death of the unhappy child, the prisoner had expressed great sorrow for what had occurred , and, under these circumstances, it was possible that when the case came before the petty jury they might be of opinion that these facts were sufficient to justify them in finding the prisoner guilty of a less offence than murder ; but it appeared to him that if the facts, as they were stated on the depo sitions, were laid before the grand jury, it would be their duty to find a bill for murder. The learned recorder then said that there were one or two cases of manslaughter, but the brand jury he was afraid would feel compelled to find th e bills as the charges did not appear to present any difficulties, either with regard to law or fact. The only remaining case to which he re ferred was a charge of cutting and wounding preferred by a wife against her husband, an offence which, h., said, had of late excited a good deal of interest in the public mind. He was unwilling, however; he said, to believe that the offence was on the increase, and so far as that Court was concerned it certainly was nut, and said that he was inclined to think that it was owing to the in creased vigilance of the police, and to the fact that mat ters of this description were now much more closely in quired into that the apparent increase in the number of such cases were to be attributed. The Court then proceeded to dispose of the business of the session. MARLBOROUGH-STREET-(THIS DAY.) JUVENILE GAMBLERS.—George Dowgin, 14, Henry Lawrence, 15, Henry Grindley, 16, John Green , 16, Robert Phillips, 15, were brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with playing pitch and toss in the public street, on the previous day. Lewis, S 6 C, stated that on Sunday afternoon he was on duty in Berwick-street, when his attention was called to the defendants, who were playing at pitch and toss with halfpence, and in consequence of the repeated com plaints of the inhabitants he took them all to the station. The two first defendants said they were not playing at all ; they were only looking at the other boys play ing. The other defendants admitted having a game of "chuck halfpenny," and we.•e not aware they were acting wrong. Mr. Bingham handed the defendants Dowgin and Lawrence over to their parents with a recommendation to administer a little gentle chastisement upon the lads. Gambling in any way generally led to thieving,_ and everything else that was bad. There were plenty of good and interesting books with which they could amuse themselves on a Sunday without resorting to such a thieves' game as pitch and toss. With this admonition he should discharge the other defendants on payment of 2s. Gd. each as a warning to them for the future. AMERICA. By the Europa we have advices from New York to the `3lst ult. She has brought $700,00 on freight. The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald states that the President has prepared a bellicose message respecting the differences with Cuba. The excitement at Boston regarding the arrest of an alleged fugitive gave had not subsided. It was supposed that the man would escape, owing to a flaw in the' indictment. Similar excitement was felt, at Syracuse. Santa Anna made a triumphant entry into the city of Mexico on the,l6th ult. After raising the siege of Acapulco, he was re ported'to have fought a battle with Alvarez, and defeated him. Neutias, Venezuela, had been totally destroyed by fire, and. many lives lost. Except for breadstuffs, a feeling of inactivity pervaded the general markets at New York. The money-market continued easy, but the unfavourable exhibit of •the city banks had inspired capitalists with caution. We quotd loans on call at 7 per cent. ; short first-class paper, 9 to 10 per cent. (with some very choice signatures at 8.) Foreign exchange rules steadily at 9± to 91 per cent. premium on London. The redemption of the public debt of the United States is gradually going on at the rates adopted by the Treasury ; the terms proposed are highly satisfactory to- the holders, who realise a premium of 23 per cent, on stock that was originally issued at par. In Baltimore there have been four failures—viz., Messrs. C,S.Marris and Son, dealers in silk goods ; Metcalf, Spicer, and Co,, bankers ; Hollins and League, grocers ; and Messrs. Langston and Co., dry dealers. The failure of Messrs. Metcalf, Spicer, and Co. was owing to their carrying too much Baltimore and Ohio ,Railroad stock at the high rates prevail ing a month or two since. The stock-market was active. Illinois Bonds were quoted at 771 to 78, and Privileged Bonds at 84, New York Centre 87, Louis 6 per Cents. are worth 83 to 84, K. Y. 82 to 84, Allegany and Co.

The cotton market had undergone no perceptible change. Dry goods continued dull. Iron was also dull. In freights the market generally remained dull. There is a good supply of vessels, but shipowners for the most part are not inclined to yield in rates, which are steady. A considerable advance in breadstuffs had oc curred.

Con sisting of Vice-Admiral Sir W. H. Dillon, Captain J. B. Walker, Captain Lancaster, Sir James Duke (trea surer of the Nelson Memorial Fund), Mr. Joseph Hume, Sir E. B. Lytton , Mr. James W a lk er , and the Rev. John Hoole, one f the trustees of th e fund, had an in terview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer in Down ing -street on Friday, with the view of endeavouring to induce the Government to grant a pension to the daughter of Nelson. The deputation having stated various cir cumstances with which the public are familiar, and al luded • to the codicil to the will made by Nelson, in which he bequeathed his daughter Horatia as a legacy to his country, proceeded to mention that several hun dred pounds had been collected and Nelson's grandsons were provided for, the youngest having lately been ap pointed a cadet by Prince Albert. The greater portion of the subscriptions, however, being exhausted by the outfits and expenses of these young men and three daughters, as well as th e i r mother, Horatia, wife of the Rev. P. Ward, being unprovided for, the deputation 'agajp solicited the aid of Government, and asked either for a money grant or that their names might be placed on the civil list. The Chancellor of the 'Exchequer, after remarking upon the difficulties connected:with the subject, which, however, he said were of • a slight cha racter, told the deputation that he would consult the other members of the Cabinet before coming to any de finite result upon the matter. VAUXHALL GARDENS.—PAUAOHUTE NOVELTY.—On Saturday evening a large concourse of persons assem bled at, and in the neighbourhood of, the above gardens, to witness, as announced, a repetition of the experiment made last year in the Champ de Mars, in the presence of the Emperor of the French—the descent of Mons. Leteur, in his newly-constructed parachute, aided by in genious machinery, which enables him to steer in the air. The balloon intended to take up this novel piece of mechanism, •was the property of a French aeronaut, and was to have been piloted by its owner. Among the company we noticed the whole of the English aeronauts; H. Green, Mr. Graham, Mr. Adams, Mr. Chambers, Goddard, Mr. William Green (nephew to the veteran Charles Green), and a number of scientific gen tlemen. About eight o'clock the balloon, with the para chute attached, was allowed to ascend (Mons. Leteur had previously taken his seat in the novel machine), but was very soon dragged down, and after another attempt • it was clearly seen that the experiment was a total failure. The lessee, R. Wardell, Esq., who seemed dis gusted with the affair, gave directions for the parachute to be detached, and the balloon did then ascend, amidst the groans from the company, both in and outside the gardens. THE CALEDONIAN BALL.—On Saturday the ladies tronesses of this institution held a meeting at Willis's Rooms, to make some formal ai rangements for the foK-h -coming ball. The patronesses present were the Duchess of Atholl, the Countess of Erroll, the Countess of Kin- . noul, Lady Agnes Duff, Lady E. Pringle, Lady Anne Mackenzie, Lady Stratheden, Lady Heathcote, Mrs. Macleod of Macleod, Mrs. Farquarson of Invercauld. Lady Agnes Duff will have the direction of a quadrille,' to be dressed in the Spanish costume, and Lady Anne= Mackenzie will have' the formation of the ladies patro-. nesses' quadrille. -As there are -GO ladies patronease s , nearly all of whom have promised to attend, an unusually large ball is expecte d, more especially as th e p resent oc casion is one to call forth all the supporters of the in stitution, the ball being for the orphans of soldiers and sailors, natives of Scotland. ~...~ ~.. u~ ~ . MARKET IVEWS-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. The. supplies of wheat on offer in most of the country markets held on Saturday were moderate. For all de scriptions the demand was in a sluggish state, at about stationary prices. There was very little business doing in barley, on former terms. Malt, oats, beans, and peas sold slowly, at previous rates. The business doing ru grain in the near Continental markets on English account is represented as compara tively small. Prices, however, continue to be well sup ported. Our accounts from New York to the 31st state that flour was rather dearer, with a good inquiry. Up to our market last week, very limited supplies of Eng lish wheat came to hand. From abroad vie received 27,813 quarters of wheat, 6,014 barley, 38,045 oats, 3 beans, 218 peas, 73 tares, 2,983 linseed ; 1,855 sacks and 100 barrels Of flour. Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of English wheat coastwise were on a very limited scale. By las d carriage the receipts were trifling-; consequently, the show of samples of both red and white was small. Notwith standing that, the attP,ndance of both town and country millers was by no means extensive, the demand for all kinds of whe a t, o f home produce, ruled steady, at fully last Monday's IN:lces, and at which a good clearance was effected. Tie general condition of the wheats was tolerably piiuse. We 'were rather liberally supplied with most descriptions of v:neat from abroad, especially from the lower Baltic ports. On the whole, these was an improved feeling in the trade, and the currencies were well supported in every instance. Very few floating cargoes hav e ma d e th e i r ap pearance off the coast. Their value must be considered almost nominal. The show of English barley was very limited—of foreign good. Most kinds sold slowly, but we have no change to notice in prices. There was very little inquiry for malt, but full kinds were held at full juices. The supp lies of oats were somewhat extensive.. The business doing was by no means extensive, on former terms. We had a dull sale for beans, at late rates. Peas moved off heavily, on former terms. The flour trade was tolerably firm, and American parcels were the tura dearer. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL 3IEASITRE.

Notwithstanding the high prices of stock in our market, the imports from abroad continue on a very moderate scale. Last week imports of foreign stock amounted to 3,369 head. In the corresponding week in 1853 we re ceived 4,735 ; in 1852, 4,918 ; in 1851, 3,056 ; in 1850, 2,124 ; in 1849, 3,187 ; in 1848, 3,640 ; and in 1847, 4,129 head. IMPORTS INTO LONDON LAST WEER.

The demand ruled heavy, and prices had a downward tendency. From our own grazing districts, the receipts of beasts fresh up this morning were on the increase, and of full average weight and quality. The attendanceof both town and country buyers being smaller than for some weeks past, the demand for all kinds of beasts ruled inactive, at a decline in the prices obtained on Monday last of 2d per 81bs. The best Scots realised, 49 10d per Sibs. The receipts from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam bridgeshire amounted to 2,200 Scots and short-horns ; from other parts of England, 600 of various breeds; and from Scotland, 420 horned and polled Scots. We were seasonably well supplied with sheep, which, for the most part, came to hand in good condition. There was less activity iu the demand for that description of stock, and last Monday's quotations were barely sup ported. The supply of lambs was tolerably extensive ; yet the lamb trade was firm, and in some instances prices had an upward tendency. A few very superior Down lambs sold at 5s 2d per Sibs. Calves, the supply of which was rather extensive, moved off heavily, at a decline in prices of 2d per Sibs. The general top figure was 5s 2d. The demand for pigs ruled heavy, on former terms.

MURDER OF SIX CRILDBR 731 7 --- - 4 , \. : , 1 - -.1 ,,, - - - , :., , ri4 — v - 7 - _,4- h ',....r1t c. 7. - On titturday morning an awful mifiqeV - pfNot 'l l, ' firt• fold character, was discovered to ha.vemetrated in a cottage at West-end, situate abot a< elile goat of Esher, and on the borders of the royal doitriins &Dare. moot. Some workmen passing by the cottage about six o'clock a.m. saw a pillow stained with blood outside one of the windows. Their suspicions were excited, and they knocked at the door, but received no answer. As soon as posSible they obtained a ladder, and effected an entrance through the window. They found in the room they entered a woman with her throat cut, but not alto gether dead, and, lying by her side, two young children dead from wounds in the throat. On searching the other bedrooms, they discovered four more children murdered. Their throats were severed, and the weapon, a razor, vas found. Mr. Izod, a surgeon of Esher, was sent for. He pronounced all the children beyond the power of human aid. The woman was not so, and he dressed her wounds accordingly. The name of the wretched creature is Mary Ann Brough, aged 47 or 4S, the wife of George Brough, somewhat older than herself. Her name must be fami liar to some of our readers. She was first nurse to his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, but was dismissed before the prince was named —some said at the time, because she had been detected drinking ardent spirits ; others, because she had, contrary to medical restric tions. received visits surreptitiously from her husband. Her place was supplied by a woman named Bat'zhelor, who, having discharged her duties properly, is now enjoying her reward. The miserable woman Brough was some twenty years ago, kitchenmaid at the palace of Claremont, and her husband was then and afterwards employed there as lamplighter, watchman, and porter. He is now employed as the guardian of the ornamental waters and fish-ponds of Claremont. His father was coachman many years ago to Prince Leopold, now the King of the Belgians. The marriage of Brough and his wife took place at Claremont, and the result was a large family, 'l'iri,,t a girl, now 19 years of age, living with friends in Yorkshire ; then several children who died of natural causes young ; and finally, the victims murdered by their m o th er on Saturday morning. Their names are—Georgiana, the eldest, aged 11, Caroline, aged 8, William, 7 years old, Henry and Harriet, twins, bora in March, 1851, and George, the youngest, aged 21 months. The murdered children were well known in Esher, and the eldest two girls we're remarkable for their pretty exterior and more than ordinary intelligence. Their persons were familiar to the royal French exiles of Claremont, and the Prince de Joinville used often to meet with them in his fishing excursions to the ponds over which their father watched, and frequently oon• versed wish them. When told of their fate, he ex claimed, "It is truly a terrible catastrophe ; it is enough to make all the children of the village afraid of their mothers." The causes assigned for this wholesale infanticide and for the present, successless suicide are many. Jealousy, as usual, is alleged to have been the promoter of this shocking tragedy. The husband believed her faithless, and three or four days ago quarreled with her, left his cottage, and took up his residence et Esher. The inhabitants could only talk, wonder, guess, and commiserate. The father of the murdered children was seen frequently in Esher on Saturday. H e h a d been to his cottage more than once, and is described an one like to make " a bole in the water." He appears to be respected by the villagers of Esher, of which though long resident, he is not a native. The cottage is his freehold, and he was above want. The infanticide has recovered from the effects of her self-inflicted wound, and there is a probability that she may survive. To a female neighbour who visited her on Saturday afternoon, she said, " I cut the throats of the five oldest easily as they slept. Baby was awake, and he gave me most trouble. An inquest will be held at three o'clock this afternoon. SEEDS. We have to report a very slow sale for linseed, the prices of which are with difficulty supported.

It appears that as two mechanics, named Mager and Peasley, residents of the village, and who were well acquainted with the Broughs, were proceeding to their work up a lane which skirts the house where the scene of blood was enacted, they had their attention drawn to a pillow covered with blood, placed on the window-sill of one of the windows facing the lane. At first they did not think that anything horrible had occui red, and Peasley observed to his companion that he supposed Mrs. Brough had been bleeding again, and that to call assistance she had placed the bloody pillow within sight of passers by. On a former occasion it appeared Peasley had his attention attracted to the unfortunate woman, who, it appeared, was subject to great bleeding at the nose, and who always called in some of her neigh hours when she was attacked with the bleeding.. Peas ley accordingly considering that this was the case, and with the assistance of Mager got over the out er ga t e , and Mager h a vi ng followed his example, the latter put a ladder to the window, to get into the premises by that means, as the hall door was fastened. Upon reaching the window a horrible spectacle met his view, and he hurried down the ladder, informing Peasley that MIJ. Brough was standing in the middle of the apartment with her throat cut. Another man named Crockford hay ing by this time come up, Peasley sent Mager for medi cal aid and other assistance while he and Crockford entered the house, the door of which by this time they found unfastened, having been evidently opened by the unfortunate woman herself, as the lock of the door showed marks of blood, who then again rushed upsta't3, where Crockford, upon entering the room, found her lying on the bed with a fearful gash across her throat, which bad completely severed the windpipe, thereby preventing articulation, and two of the unfortunate chil dren lying by her side with their heads nearly severed from their bodies. The sight so shocked Crockford that he was about to rush from the apartment, when his at tention was drawn to the wretched woman, who, hold ing some clothes to her throat, made signs for him to give her a drink, which be did, and upon handing her a mug containing half a pint of water she drank it off without taking the vessel from her lips. It appear:A to revive her for a moment, when she fell back helpless upon the bcd. By this time a large crowd of people had assembled, who upon going upstairs were terrified at the shocking spectacle that met their eyes. In the room already described lay the unfortunate creature with her two children, and in the adjoining room was discoverel in one bed the bodies of three other children with thele throats cut and quite dead, while in a third room lay the s'xth child, with his throat cut, and also quite dead. The spectacle was the most shocking ever witness:d. The floor upon which the fearful crimes were perpetrated was literally deluged with blood. Messrs. Izod and Moss surgeons, having arrived, they irnmed'ately torncd their attention to the wretched woman (all hope for her victims being past, as they had all been dead some time), whom they found had made a desperate although not a dangerous incision in the throat. Having sewed up the wound she was, in a few hours afterwards, so much recovered as to be able to mutter the words, " That razor—it it had not been for that razor." She appeared to feel her position very acutely. Upon searching the apartment a large sized razor which the husband, on leaving home, had locked up in his desk, which was found broken open, was discovered under her bed, covered with blood. Mr. Superintendant Buddle scome, of the Surrey constabulary, having, shortly after the discovery of the fearful deed, arrived, caused all the bodies of the six murdered children to be removed to one room. In one bed, as already stated, were found three of the children, namely, Georgiana, aged elevon year s ; Cary, aged seven years ; and Henry, aged four years, who, besides having his throat cut severely, had a large cut across the cheek ; in the second bed, William, aged s slept by himself ; and in th e third eiht 3b'eeda,rs'with whoalways the mother, Harriet, aged four (twin sister of Henry), and George, aged two years. They all appeared to have been murdered in their sleep, which surmi'e was subsequently corroborated by the mother's confession ; and the eldest girl, Georgiana, was evi dently, from the fearful nature of then oiled, and the position of her body, the first victim. Up to this evening the unfortunate woman is doing well, and her recovery is expected in a few days at the utmost. Last afternoon she had so far regained streng th as to make a full confession of the whole transaction. She stated that she commenced the murders at twelve i o'clock at nignt, when all her victims were asle e p. She first cut Georgiana's throat and then Cary's without their waking ; but upon proceeding to kill Henry he awo ke, and looking imploringly in her face said, " Oh don't, mother." This, she remarked, appeared to shake her for a time, but, becoming desperate, she seized him by the hair and inflicted the fatal wound. The razor at first slipped, which,-she arid, accounted for the wound 'on the chin. She then went to William's bed, He was asleep, but she turned lihn over without his waking, and cut his throat at the first stroke. She then• pro ceeded to the third bed, and cut George's throat without his stirring, but Harriet stitig,gled a little, and gurgled a good deal in the throat alter she made the wound. Having murdered all her children, she applied the razor to her own throat, but after making the tut she grew sorry for it, and threw away t h e razor. She then place d a bloody pillow on the window to draw attention, and laid herself down, but she was unable to sleep ; and she did not, she observed, sleep after twelve o'clock, as she then com:uenced the murders. She appeared to look back during the narrative with horror at the deed she had perpetrated. Superintendent Buddlescome, with Captain Hastings, head constable, were present, and noted it d own a s given by the unfortunate creature, who remains under their surveillance until her recovery.
