sr MONEY MARK EP± AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. There is a moderate amount of business going on in the discount market on previous terms. For the moment there is no decided tendency caber way ; but inasmuch as the public have to a large extent obtained the supplies they immediately require, and gold continues to flow into the Bank of Eng land, the impression is that slight indications of greater easiness may be expected at an early date. The Hansa, from New York, has arrived with ...17,358 in gold, an d i t i s ex p ec t e d that the receipts from that quarter will continue on a moderate scale. Supplies are also expected from the antipodes, which, in the absence of an active demand for ex portation, are likely to find their way into the Vaults of the Bank of England. Nothing further has transpired relative to tilt contract reported to have been entered into by an eminent house here with the Bank of France, for supplying the latter with gold. if it should require such assistance before the compilation of the next monthly return. About £52,000 in gold was taken into the Bank yesterday. The payment due on the Venezuelan loan of 1863 on the 20th inst. is deferred till the 21st of Eeptem ber, in order to give time for the receipt of more positive intelligence as to the pclitical condition of that country, and the prospect of the formation of a solid Government. The last week's railway receipts ascertained up to this day are in round figures as under : 1863. 1862.

Two O'CLOCK. At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were 671. 45c. Rather firm, but inanimate. A small amount of business has b2en recorded to-day in the market for the English Funds, and ti it has not led to any material change, Consols being 931 for transfer, and 931 1 for the account. The g , tendency seems favourable, but there is v er y littl e speculation in progress. The New Threes and gt , Reduced Annuities are firm at 941 ; the 30 Years' Annuities at 14; and Exchequer Bills are ls. dis. ii to 2s. prem ; India Stock is quoted 225; ditto 5 per Cents, are 10814 ; and the Bonds, 17s. 19s. 11 prem. A fair business has taken place in the Foreign "It' Market, and prices are not quite so firm.

Business in the Railway Share Market has been dull, the chief dealings being connected with the half-monthly settlement now in progress ; prices however are generally firmer. Great Eastern and North Western have improved 55.; Midland, 10s. ; Caledonian, 155.; and Great Northern and North Eastern York, £l. Lancashire and Yorkshire, however, declined sa. ; and London and Blackwall, The Foreign and Colonial undertakings remain inactive at about previous quotations.

BLAZE OF COLOURS AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE. —Entering the grounds from the railway station the festoons round the Rosary, just tow, with the circular beds on the mound, quite dazzle the eye with their bril liancy. Plots of brightest vermilion, rich crimson, pink, scarlet and blue, blazing orange, milky white, crimson lake, purple, and blood red, with broad belts and beds of dazzling yellow or rich amber, and every ether shade of colour, deck the green turf in all directions. The bed of vermilion is the famous Crystal Palace tropceolum, with a ring of golden chain geranium. Then come circles of rich orange gazania splendens, and graphallium lanatum ; pink pearl geraniums, and purple king verbena; Gordon's new seedling tropcooluni, Topsy, bound,with cerastium. Numer ous other b eds of fuchsias, verbenas, roses, lobelias, petu nias, and other flowers fill up the circle of the Rosary Mound.

The ordinary half•yearly meeting of the shareholders was held to-day, at the Waterloo Station—Captain Mangles, chairman of the board of directors, presided. The report, which has already appeared in The Sun, having been taken as read, The CHAIRMAN rose for the purpose of moving its adop- tion. v He congratulated the meeting upon the satisfactory working of the line for the last six months. A great por tion of the increase of their traffic no doubt arose from the inherent qualities of the country through which the line passed; yet a considerable portion of the increased traffic arose from the continuance of the peace which he had the gratification to announce to them in February last. The directors of the South Western would do all in their power to preserve that peace which now happily prevailed, and they would ever be found to be animated with a desire to act honourably with their neighbours. (Hear, hear.) He thought the shareholders would agree that they were under great obli gations to the staff of officials for the manner in which the additional expenses had been kept down. Referring to the revenue account, the chairman said of course new property could not be purchased without having to be paid for; and it was satisfactory to find that the gross revenue of the company for the half year exceeded that of the corresponding period of 1862 by £67,017. The balance available for dividend amounted to £167,945 2s. ld., out of which the directors recommend a dividend at the rate of 41., per cent, per annum, and if this was agreed to there would still remain a small amount to be carried over to the current account. 11 aving touched upon other items in the accounts, the chairman proceeded to refer to the state of the line. The directors regretted that equal progress had not been made in the doubling of the Salisbury and Yeovil Railway. The execution of the work rested with Salisbury Company; but the directors had urged on them the necessity of completing the work without the least possible delay. The buildings for the new workshops and the engine and carriage sheds at Nine Elms was nearly completed, and the increased accom- modatiDll would be of the greatest advantage. The works on the Petersfield Railway were prcceeding.very satisfactorily, and no doubt was entertained that the line would be opened in the ensuing spring. In order to provide for the increas ing requirements of the Channel Islands traffic the directors had entered into a c_ntract for the construction of a fast paddle-wheel steamer, which had been launched, and would be ready to perform her duties with the shortest possible delay. During the last session of Parliament various new railways have been authorised at the instance of inde • pendent companies, and amongst them an extension of the Ringwood and Christchurch Railway to Bournemouth, an extension of the Sidmouth Railway to Budleigh Salter ton, and a branch from Wareham to Swanage. Working arrangements with the South Western had been entered into in the case of the Sidmouth, and with all, he had the satis faction to say, friendly relations, not involving any outlay, existed. (Hear, hear.) The directors had to oppose no less than 10 schemes for new railways during last session, and of these six were withdrawn, two rejected, and two defeated in committees in the House of Lords. The directors regretted the expenses incurred, but they had the satisfaction of knowing that, in every instance, the threatened inquiry had been successfully parried. Having again congratulated the meeting the chairman resumed his seat by assuring the shareholders that the board would recommend nothing for their adoption which was not in their judgment fully jus tified on a sound appreciation of the permanent interests of the company. The motion for the adoption of the report having been seconded, it was put to the meeting, and carried unani- mously. The CIIAIRMAN moved that a dividend at the rate of LI 10s. per cent. per annum be declared, and made payable on the 24th of:August next. _ _ Capt. JOHNSTONE seconded the motion, which was car ried unanimously. After the transaction of some special business, the met ing terminated. LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner nine.) IN RE DURANT. This bankrupt was described as of Jewin-street, City, and of Poole, Somereetshire, solicitor, and now came up to apply for his release from custody. A previous application was made on the Ist April last, when his Honour, after taking time to consider, refused to grant the release on the ground that the bankrupt had been guilty of gross fraud in misap. propriating trust moneys. Mr. Linklater, in now renewing the application, said that the bankrupt was quite prepared to find bail, and proposed two sureties in £3OO each; and instanced the case of Col. Waugh, in which Mr. Commissioner Holroyd had made an order for release on his giving reasonable bail. The bail now proposed was double the amount of the debt on which the bankrupt was detained. Mr. Lawrence appeared for Messrs. Salter, the detaining creditors, who opposed the application, and read the judg ment given by his Honour. He said that no language could more accurately represent the features of the case, which had not in the least varied up to the present time. Although the bankrupt had been seven months in prison, and the case had been adjourned, not a vestige of accounts had been filed, although the dents amounted to several thousand pounds, but in addition to this the bankrupt was in custody under a commitment by his Honour the Master of the Rolls, for not answering a bill in Chancery. The bankrupt had not even filed a preliminary statement giving a list of his debtors and creditors, and the creditors were wholly unable to form any idea of the state of the bank rupt's affairs. Mr. Sargood, for the assignees, urged that, the bankrupt should be released, and they did so not from any feeling of favour to the bankrupt, but because they conscientiously felt that the bankrupt, from the nature of th e accoun t s , could not prepare the m whilst in prison. Mr. Lawrence punish ment, y 1 appeared H on for one wouldcreditor,andhet h i e f r b t i h s eo bankruptb je had note t was ie been sufficiently punished. Mr. Lawrence said they did not ask for punishment, but for information. Mr. Darwin also appeare d to oppose, and tendered a proof for £6OO. The bankrupt was a trustee under a will, and hed misappropriated the money, and had as trustee actually proved the debt against his own estate. His Honour ultimately said he would nut maiKet an order for release until the bankrupt had filed his accounts and given the bail as offered. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) A DELICATE INCLITIEX-CURTIS V. GOSLING. This was an action to recover the balance of an oilman's bill for goods supplied to a person named Mrs. Boyd, de fendant being a wine merchant, of Trinity-square. Mr. Buchanan, for the plaintiff, put his client into the box, and that person stated that he thought the lady was Mrs. Gosling, and that he had previously beau paid by cheques signed by defendant. Mr. Jon es , f or d e f en d ant , pu t i n or d er s signed ''Boyd." His H onour did not see h ow d e f en d an t c ould be made liable because his cheques had come into possession of Boyd. w Mr. laddeyc,idaenddumpyonhcuasba llin:the d is a t lady,a. Heho is a purser. I decline to tell you where I live. I mean to pay everybody w h en I get the money. Dir. Buchanan—l Rut very glad to hear that, for there is a gentletu.n behind mt; inquiring very kindly after you , bat 1 must advise him not to waste time or money, for as Mts.

A NICE Titio.--Three remarkably ill-looking fellows named William Gordon, alias Perry, John Smith, and George Baker, were brought before Mr. Henry, charged with gambling at the Two Spies public-house, in Catherine street, assaulting the landlord, and attempting to defraud a foreigner named Giovanni Kriplay. It appeared from the statement of the complainant, a native of Switzerland, that he met the prisoners at the cor ner of Farringdon-street on Tuesday afternoon, when one of them accosted him (seeing that he was a stranger to the locality), and observed " What a dreadful place this Lon don is ?" A conversation ensued respecting the marvels of the metropolis, and then Baker offered to show him some of the principal buildings and explain them to him. They proceeded, firstly, to the Houses of Parliament, complainant " standing treat" on the road. They then brought him back to the Strand, and proceeded towards the " Spies" for further refreshments. Here the prisoners exhibited a pack of cards, and invited complainant to play for half-a crown. He declined at first, and they played among themselves. One of them was heard to speak of " tals:e cards," which complainant's imperfect know ledge of the English language did not enable him to understand. Eventually, however, he consented to put down a crown, but having no change, he put down a sovereign instead. At this moment the landlord, Mr. Law son, arrived, and seeing the cards, ordered the prisoners out of his house, saying he would not allow card-playing there. Gordon refused to leave the house, and then the landlord proceeded to turn them out, in which he was assisted by another man. Gordon resisted and aimed a blow at the landlord which struck the person assisting him. The police were called in and the three prisoners given into custody. Constable, 4 F, found a number of flash notes and brass sovereigns or " medals" upon the prisoners, and Holmes, Grey, and other constables: of the division, stated that Gordon, or Perry, was at the head of a notorious band of sharpers. This statement was conirmed by another officer, Raimers, of the A division, a German, who acted as in terpreter also, and who had known Gordon for ten years. Mr. Henry, after hearing Mr. Abrams for the prisoners, said the conspiracy to defraud had no doubt been inter rupted, and that the prisoners must be discharged ; but he fined Gordon £3 for the assault. The fine was immediately paid. MIIRD: 'ICIDE. Yesterday morning, shortly after 12 o'clock, the inhabitants of St. Matthew, Bethnal-green, were alarmed by the news of a most brutal murder and the suicide of the murderer. _ It appears from what can be gleaned by the re porter that the crime was committed at No. 4 Glebe street, Glebe-road, Bethnal-green. The house was occupied by a weaver named James Dupey, with hie wife and three children. They retired to rest shortly after 11 o'clock, all lying in one room, and about midnight a cry of " Murder !" was heard by Mr. Joseph English, the landl , rd of the Florists' Arms Tavern, who was just about to close. He ran to the front of the house, which was nearly op posite, when screams of " Murder " Police !" were distinctly heard. Several of the immediate neighbours likewise rushed out and met the elder son, about 18 years of age, who exclaimed, "Oh, pray come upstairs ; my father has killed my mother." Mr. English proceeded to the apartment, and discovered a most fearful scene ; the wife was lying upon a small bed in the corner of the room, in her nightdress, with her throat cut from ear to ear, and the bedclothes were saturated with blood. The husband had made his escape out of the house, followed by one of the neighbours. He ran at full speed down Glebe-street, in the direction of Victoria Park, where be succeeded in getting clear away. A messenger ran for a police officer, when Sergeant Feist, 163 K, who was near the spot, attended. He sent for Dr. James Ralph, the divisional medical officer, of No. 237, Bethnal-green-road, who promptly attended, and pronounced life extinct. The wound in the front of the wife's neck was about six inches in ?ength, and divided all the main arteries. Death must have been instantaneous. Several persons went in pursuit of the murderer, and when they reached the Regent's-canal, near the chief entrance to the park, a coat and hat were found lying on the towing-path. Information was given to the police-constable on the beat, when he called Mr. Russell, the lock-keeper, who procured the drags to discover the body of the murderer. It was then about half-past 12 o'clock, but the body was not recovered until 5 o'clock yesterday morn ing. Mr. Ralph, the surgeon, examined the body on the towing path, and found a frightful gash in the front of the neck, which had been inflicted im mediately before submersion. A razor, besmeared with blood, was found in the deceased's pocket, and the weapon (which was handed to the pike) was found to be one which the deceased used to shave himself with at home. The body of the deceased woman still remains at the house, but the body of the husband was re moved to the dead-house at the rear of Bethnal green workhouse, to await the inquest. Mr. Burrows, the summoning officer of the dis trict, proceeded to the house at an early hour yester day morning, and made inquiry. He interrogated the eider daughter, and it would appear that she slept on the floor, by the side of her parents, when she was suddenly aroused by her father stepping upon her. She sat up and heard a gurgling noise. The deceased woman was struggling, and exclaimed faintly, " Oh, Henry, don't cut my throat." Her father was partly dressed, and, placing the razor in his trousers pocket, he ran out of the house. The cause of the fearful act cannot at present be ascertained, but the deceased man, who was 68 years of age, had been subject to attacks of delirium. Information was for warded to Mr. John Hum phreys, the coroner, and the investigation wili be opened to-day at the Prince of Wales Tavern, I Bonner-road, Victoria-park. THE TAEPINGS, The following remarkable letter is from an officer hold ing mi'itary command in the Taeping troops in garrison at Soochow, and is addressed to the editor of the China Herald : " It is long, now, since I have had an opportunity of writing to you. I held high command among the be siegers of Chiangza, and was too busy to be able to spare any time for writing letters, but now that I am once more quietly within the walls of Soochow I will tell you what we have been doing of late. You know, of course, how we re - tired from Fooshan, and left the traitors of Chiangzu to emerge once more from their walls without the fear of im mediate death. It is not much use to explain, now, that the retreat has been accomplished, but I cannot help saying it ought never to have taken place. We had 40,000 men there, and if my counsel had prevailed that we should all attack the Imps at once, the victory of Foochan would have been to the credit of the Tien-wang instead of the Tartar. But our people are too much afraid of the big guns of the foreigners; they will not be induced to make a rush, know ing that a 32 pound shot will hurry dozens into eternity before they can come to close quarters with their adver saries. They will not think how absurd it is for 40,000 men to retreat before the face of 2,000. But this is the will of Heaven, and cannot be helped. We lost our two 32-pounders also before Chiangau, whether we had taken them in de ference to the wish of Tien-fu, which I mentioned in a pre vious letter. He told us that out of their own mouths we should convince the Imps of their impotency ; but the mouths would not speak; and in the efforts of the body to emit the convincing meessage, it burst, and prevented itself from speaking for evermore. It is almost too late to speak to you of Shao-shing, bat it would not now have been in possession of the Imps if the convoy of powder from Hang-chow had reached its defenders. Without powder, how could they oppose the onslaught. of the Imps? Knowing that they could not, they left, to save the valua ble lives of the Tien-wang's children ; but the Imps did not gain possession of the city without loss. Several small mines were constructed with the little powder left, and many were the Imps whom these blew to destruction. We laid powder under some of our clothes, too, on the floors of the rooms with matches, which should burn slowly till the Imps came in. In their hurry for loot they dragged the clothes towards them, and the match into the powder, and the powder exploded and they got terribly burned. One of the mandarins of Captain Dew's ship was burned in this way so badly that, they say, his face will always show marks of the occurrence. It is but just that your mandarins should be hurt when they come out to fight against us. What cause of complaint have they against us ? We send you down merchandise, and we treat well your countrymen who oome among us. Why then, should you fight against us? But I have asked you the same question before, and you can give no other answer, save that your Government will it, so it is useless repeating it. But why does not your Government see the folly of continuing this policy—a policy which it costs your honourable nation almost as much to pursue as you gain, year by year, by protecting the revenues of Shanghai? You at present secure a revenue of £10,000,000 a year to the Tartar Government; and at the same time secure payment to yourself of the money which that Government promised to pay you for the expense of your war with it. But you have to keep a large force at Shanghai, at a great cost, to prevent us from taking it, and must set this against the amount of payments you receive. Truly, though the wisdom of the nations of the West is in some things great, in some they are exceedingly foolish. If we were in your place, we should make the Tartar Government pay the expenses of keeping troops at Shanghai out of the revenue you secure theta by so doing, and of which without you they would not receive one cash. But if you would only let it come to Shanghai and the other treaty ports, you would be saved the expense and trouble of keeping any troops at all, besides which we would gladly accept the respons ibility of paying you the remainder of the indemnity money which the Tartar Government owes. We like foreigners, and wish to be friendly with all, but especially with your honourable nation. During the time we occupied Ningpo, for example, we kept on good terms with all foreigners, interfering with no one ; but at last, when we wished to check the numbers who daily came into the city, we gave passes to Englishman, although they were very generally refused to the French and other desiring visitors. Could we give a stronger proof of our friendship to your honourable nation ? Again, we came down to the neighbourhood of Shanghai, how did we behave to the few foreigners who went out to see us or our mandarins ? Did we not receive them with every courtesy, and assure them that, if we were allowed to enter the city, not a cash of their property should be touched ? Ono gentleman read your paper to the interpreter of Kanwang. Had you then allowed us to enter shanghai bow much misery and . death would have been saved. The hundreds who fell at Tsing-poo and Kading, Na-jao and Wong-ka• dzs, at Tel and Kias-chao, and later still at Pao-kioDg and Tai-fling would all have been saved. Instead of remaining for near! would years a barren plain, cultivation would h o.vo flourished around Shanghai as was its w ont. Deprived of a basis from whence to send out their troops, and a source from whence to pay them, the Tartar Imps would have been un able to molest us in any part of the province of Keang.eu, which would all have settled down quietly under our rule. Instead of being disturbed by the presence of hostile troops, trade would have flown on its wonted channel, the stream augmented by removal, which we would have accomplished, of the many obstacles placed in its w ay . by the slave s o f th e Tartar, who, while profes sin g to be friendly, do all in their power to oppose you. Even now, after all the injury you a o s to ilg have inflicted on us, we wo uld extend to you the ri g ht hand of fell owsh i p, an d acc ord you every privilege you could de sire, if you would withdraw your opposition to our taking possessio n o f t h e c ity of Shanghai, and leave u 01W own battle with the inVerialisto,", AIARLBOROUGH-STREET. SAD DEATH OF A MEMBER OF THE UNITED UNIVER SITY CLUB.—William Coombe, of 81, Caroline-street, Camden-town, a carman in the employ of Messrs. Chaplin and Home, railway carriers, Camden-town, was charged before Mr. Knox with causing the death of Mr. N. Milton Bridger, aged 65 (a member of the United University Club, Pall-mall), by driving a van with two horses over him in Argyll• place. Sergeant W. Stephens, 11 C, said—At 8 o'clock last night I was informed that a person had been run over and killed in Argyll-place. I went there and found that a gentleman had been rode over and was taken to Messrs. Savory and Moore's, chemists, Regent street. The persons there deeming it advisable that the gentleman should be taken to an hospital, he was at once removed to the Middle sex Hospital, where the house-surgeon, Mr. Lee, at once pronounced him to be dead. Mr. Knox--I suppose ho appeared to be dead when you first saw him ? Sergeant Stephens—Yes, sir, The prisoner was then taken to the station, when he said he could not help it, and several persons said no blame attached to the prisoner. Mr. W. George Collins, a schoolmaster, residing at 14, Greet Ormonde-street, said—Last night about 8 o'clock I was crossing Argyle-place and heard some one call out and saw a van coming from Regent-street into Argyle place. I heard a second call, and then turned round and saw a gentleman running across the road when he was knocked down and the horses and the first small wheel went over him. At the time the horses were going at a moderate trot. I believe it was the gentleman's own fault, and Ido not think the prisoner could have pulled up, The van was heavily laden, and the pisoner pulled up as soon as he could. Stephen Martin, one of the firemen at the King-street station, said—l pulled the gentleman from behind the front wheel which had passed over him. Mr. Knox— lt is quite clear that if the prisoner stopped the horses in such a short space that the hind wheel did not go over the deceased, the prisoner could not have been going fast at the time. Mr. Charles Hawkins, F.R.C.S., of 22, Saville-row, deposed—l saw the body of the deceased, Mr. William Milton Bridger, of the Chantrey, Bradford-on-Avon, of which place he was a magistrate. Deceased had been in town 14 days and I attended him. He was so well yester•• day at 5 o'clock that he was then going to dine at his club. Hearing of the occurrence I went to the Middlesex Hospital and found that deceased's arm was much broken and his head smashed. I wish to state that deceased being deaf a person might have called to him without his healing. Inspector Bowles—l took bail for the prisoner at the time. Mr. Knox—Quite right. I shell take prisoner's bail to appear next week after the inquest. Inspector Bowles—There are several other witnesses who speak to the same facts as the other witnesses. Mr. Knox—The present evidence is sufficient for the remand. THAMES. THE SUICIDE MANIA.—Four women were brought up this day, charged with attempting to commit suicide. Three of them, who had undergone a week's imprisonment, were brought up on remand. Esther Duncan, a respectable married woman, 25 years of age, quarrelled with her hus band, and attempted to drown herself in the Wapping lock, or entrance, of the London .dock. Mary Flinn, 28, made a similar attempt at the Old Gravel-lane swivel -bridge; ana Mary Ann Harris, 34, sought a watery grave at the Glarais-road bridge of the London-docks. Mr. Woolrych said the Rev. Mr. Sephson, a kind hearted and zealous clergyman, who was the chaplain of the Clerkenwell House of Detention, had forwarded him a letter stating that he talked with the three women, and they were very penitent and expressed their sorrow for what they had done. They had also promised not to repeat the attempts on their lives. The prisoners had each been guilty of a very wicked act. It was a sin against Heaven to com mit suicide, and the law treated it as an offence of a very aggravated nature to attempt self-de.truction. The chap lain had given the prisoners good advice, and he hoped they had profited by it. These continual attempts to commit suicide were very dreadful and shucking and to humanity. One woman quarrelled with her husband and straightway proceeded to the dock entrance; another, Harris, was in toxicated ; and the third, Flinn, was disappointed in obtaining work. He hoped tlie prisoners would never make such rash attempts on their lives again. He then ordered them to be discharged. Alice Laybury, aged 30, a marr i e d wo man, of No. 7, Albion-terrace, White-horse-lane, &goo, was charged with attempting to drown herself in the Regent's Canal. A young man named Joseph Staley, carpenter, of No. 1, Rhodeswell-terrace, Rhodeswell-road, Stepney, saw the prisoner walk into the canal. The water only reached over her ankles. She hesitated a m omen t and then plunged into deep water. Staley jumped into the cattal after her, and brought her out. She was insensible, and it was some time before she exhibited any signs of life. Mr. Woolrych complimented Staley on his courage, and remanded the prisoner fora week.

RECOUNTED ANEW IN THE LONDON REVIEW OF SATURDAY, He was not a mutineer ; he had taken no oath of military fidelity to our standard; he had, as he thought, rightly er wrongly, private griefs which justified his participation in. the revolt. The adopted son of the late Peishwah of the Mahrattas, none would have judged him severely for em bracing a favourable opportunity of restoring the fortunes of his fallen house. We might, indeed have blamed the folly of our Indian statesmen who left the stronghold of Bithoo; in possession of one to whom they had refused the pension and the territorial independence which he thought his right as heir, by Hindoo law, to Badjee Rao. But we could scarcely have wondered that a policy which injured lan d wounded, while it left the power of retaliation, should have produced. its natural results. It is not, however, for deeds done in, the field—for acts of manly and open hostility—that we have hunted this miscreant for six long years with untiring Pertinacity, and now experience a stern satisfaction at bis certain doom. Why we have acted thus, and still feel that no interval of time can obliterate the recollection of his crimes, or secure for them the contemptuous pardon of oblivion, will be best shown by a brief retrospect of those events which struck us with horror in 1857, and in which he was the principal actor. About six miles from Bithoor, on an inland peninsula, formed by the confluence of the Ganges and the Jumna, stands the town of Cawnpore. Originally the harbour of Thuggee, of deadly wolves and snakes, it was, prior to our occupation of the Punjab, the chief military station in India. It was still the seat of a principal command when the mutiny broke out. The balls, the private theatricals, the varied amusements, with which the officers diversified the monotony of garrison life, made it a place of gay resort for all the English within reach. Amongst the most con spicuous and popular members of the society thus collected was the Rajah of Bithoor. He affected a jovial beating, ostentatiously adopted English opinions and habits, and supported a lavish hospitality by means of the great wealth he had inherited from the late Peisliwab. How long he had nourished the designs which he subsequently endea voured to carry out, will probably never be known ; but it has been plausibly suggested that they were inspired by his secretary, Azimoola Khan, who returned from a mission to London immediately after the unsuccessful assault on Sebas. topol, in 1855. We know that this man visited the Crimea expresely to see " those great Roestrums, the Russians, who have beaten the English and French together ;" and it is said that, after ho had joined his master, they both adopted a somewhat contemptuous bearing towards the Europeans. Although he had no doubt been for some time cognisant of, if not an accomplice in the Sepoy plot, Nana Sahib retained his mask to the last. When the news of the mutiny first reached Cawnpore, he made emphatic protesta tions of his fidelity—and so entirely was he trusted, both by Gen. Sir H. Wheeler and by the civil authorities, that they actually arranged to send the women and children to Bithoor as a place of safety. Nay, more, when the rebels arrived before the place, a plan was concerted by which the Rajah was to fall upon their rear with 1,600 horse. He did not indeed long delay his march, but immediately he arrived in sight of the doomed ga rrison he put himself at the head of the besiegers. For three weeks he pressed the attack in vain ; b w u h t o n s o e ai d provisionsarrived w , e r a e n d e l a m t e l s e : t the exhaustedEn lwisahs sg ccoommmpaelnldeder,to surrender. The officers charged with the settlement of terms of capitulation were received by Nana Sahib with courtesy, and even with a show of kind ness. He pledged himself by a solemn oath to spare the lives of the garrison; he promised to allow them to retain their arms and a lac and a half of rupees, and to forward them in boats to Allahabad. On the next day our countrymen and countrywomen were marched down to the river side. The men only were embarked; the women and children, between 200 and 300 in number, remained on shore. The moment the dinghies were fairly out in the stream, Nana Sahib ordered his guns to open fire upon them. Some were drowned, some were pce e yshhot—thae sowers reached the shore only to be cut to pieces under the eye of their chief. One boatascapedl boardferte miles, but it was eventually stopped, and those on were brought back, and pu t to a lingering death. Most were hacked limb from limb. Several were strapped naked on boats, and set adrift upon the current , . in ord er th at t h e i r corpses might bear t o the English at Allahabad the first tidings of the fall of Cawnpore. Of many of those thus slaughtered had Nana Sahib been the familiar companion —their friendly host or their favoured guest I This watt followed by the murder, is cold blo o d , an d i n the pre , sens e of the Rajah, of 126 men, women, and children, who were captured while flying in boats from Futteghur. taut even such deeds as thee pale before the final atrocity. After the massacre of the men who had surrendered under the capitulation of Cawnpore, the women and children-- with General Sir H. Wheeler—were taken back to the can tonments. There they were kept under strict surveillance and on prison diet for some weeks. At last, on the 16th July it became evident that the place could no longer be held against Havelock, who was pressing the siege vigorously. On that day the women and children, with the aged Gene ral, were literally butchered (by the order of the Rajah and it is believed in his presence) by men who were brought from the shambles of Cawnpore, and used the instruments of their brutal trade. When the English troops entered the place on the following day, they found the yard in which the prisoners had been confined two inches deep in the blood of these un resisting victiMs. They sought in vain for the false friend, the forsworn enemy, the torturer of brave men, and the eathless murderer of helpless women and innocent children. Nana Sahib had fled with the plunder of the treasury to the fortress of Bithoor. SHIPPING—This Day. LONDON, Aug. 13.—Wind at Noon, E.; calm and very fine. CARDIFF, Aug. 12.—Wind, E.N.E.—Arrived—J. E.
