MANCHESTER, March 27.—TheIndia department of our market, in yarn as well as cloth, is a good deal excited to-day by the telegraphic advices, re ceived yesterday, of some further improvement at Bcrnbay, and of the addition of id. per lb. to 40's twist, and 18d. and 161 d. per piece to the prices of ib. and 71b. skirtings respectively at Calcutta. Business has ensued in mule twist, say 30's to 100's, at an advance, pretty generally, of about id. per lb. ; even ld. has been obtained upon 40's. The makers and holders of piece-goods have raised their quotations. The statements made to us are con flicting. This evidently arises very much from dif ferences among sellers in regard to stocks—some of the heavy holders being willing to under-sell the lighter holders ; while some others, who have cotton in hand, will take rather less than those who are not so situated. Considerable irregulari ties are thus occasioned. We conclude that the realised advance on the average prices attainable on Tuesday for 40in. shirtings is certainly 3d. per piece ; but a requirement of 6d. mostly pre vents a bargain. These are parties, however, who demand 9d. It is chiefly the lighter kinds of stair - ings and other fabrics, iccluding printing cloths; that merchants are taking. Business of all descrip tions has been much restricted by the adherence of makers and speculative holders to higher rates than merchants would pay. As the now reported im provement in India took place after the receipt of rather depressing accounts from Liverpool and Mai.. chester, it inspires ell the more confidence here. It is found that such twists and wefts as enter into kaptern cloths are practically dearer by id. to Id. per lb than they were on Tuesday. Certain spin nip gs for Glasgow are O. higher. The various yarns referred to in this paragraph range from 32's to 80's. The German and Dutch houses do not appesr to share in the movement at all. They still hold cau tiously to their policy of merely executing the very small orders they receive. They, as well our manu facturers, find that id. to d. per lb. is laid upon throstle warps, and that mule yarns have an up wnrd tend ncy. Doubled yarns, from 120's down to the lowest number, continue dull ; 40's are the firmest in price. The buyers of goods for other markets than those of India are but little effected by this day's move ment. They had previously been buying cautiously and moderately, but they hesitate or decline to do anything, if prices are raised in the proportion of s'oirtings, except in the case of certain printing cloths, chiefly 56 to 60 . reeds.

Dr. Gayten, of Brick-lane, and other medical gentlemen were sent for, but on their arrival life was found to be extinct.

LEGAL TOPICS OF THE WEEK.—In the Course of a tri,l at York, says the Law Times of to day, on a bill of excep ions being tenderer), Baron Martin said, "he wished to state, for the information of the bar, that he had recently occasion to consider the matter, and he was of op nion that a bill of exceptions must be sealed before judgment is s;gned. If necessary, he would order the signing of the judgment to be postponed, in order to allow time to have the bill of exceptions sealed." This is an important change in the practice. POOR RELIEF IN THE NORTH.—The monthly returns published by the Poor Law Board, showing the number of paupers relieved in the manufacturing districts affected by the present distress, have been completed to the end of February. The highest point of pauperism attained was in the first week of December last. The number re lieved then reached 284,418 ; in the last week of February, 1863, it had fallen to 229,564. In the first week of Decem ber, 1861, it WAS but 71,573. m arm- sun try, caving ble for ai sur- on re- essago ion of cress of narvel this ly the )orter ulnese ; the spore, )Jetor 6 tly—.

THE OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE BOAT RAM—This Day. The time for starting, which had been announced to the select few on Friday night for nina o'clock, was afterwards still further postponed to 9.: 0, the captains fearing that the tide would not serve till then. But in accordance with the experience of the last few days, it was running down at "the rails" pretty strong soon after 8,30, and the race might very well have been rowed at that hour. In spite of the early period of the day, the attendance was never greater than on this occasion, vehicles of all descriptions streaming along the Putney and Hammersmith roads in one uninterrupted filo, with horsemen innumerable inter mixed. The block at Hammersmith-bridge was at one time so great that it was feared it could scarcely be kept clear, but by the exertions of the police their arrangements were good enough to keep all going. On nearing Barnes Railway-bridge their efforts were of no avail, and nearly 300 horsemen were penned iu there by the carriages, and unable to reach the starting place; and the towing-path at the Point, just below which the start took place, was in con sequence only occupied by a dozen horsemen and 200 or 300 pedestrians. The boats for both crews were taken up there by their watermen, and the crews walked up from Mort lake; the Cambridge men showing at 9.5, and the Oxford a few minutes afterwards. About half-past nine—by which time a dozen steamers or thereabouts had come up—both crews stepped into their boats, Cambridge being the first to paddle off, being soon followed by their opponents to the buoys. Here a long delay of more than half an hour oc curred, owing to the obstinacy of three or four of the cap tains of the steamers, who would not comply with the orders of the umpire (backed by the river police) to keep behind the boat of the former gentleman. At a quarter to ten they had all come back just behind him, and we anti cipated a start at that time, but from some cause it was de layed a few minutes, during which the foremost boats, like 2-yr-old racehorses, broke awa3 , and would not be persuaded to return to their stations for some time. At length this difficult feat was accomplished, and at 25 minutes after 10 we were treated with the start. Both crews dropped their oars into the water at the same moment, the Cambridge, having perhaps a trifle the best of it, but the Oxford gaining a foot in the first two strokes. Gradually their long'powerful stroke told against the Cantabs, who lost ground foot by foot, and in the first 300 yards the nyford coxswain was opposite No. 5 of the Cambridge, both row ing steadily, and without any of that flurry which is so often seen at the start for this exciting event. At the Ship at Mortlake the Oxford were leading a clear length and a half round the point, the Cambridge dropping into their wake. It was evident here that the race was over, barring accidents; and none occurring, the Oxford reached Ham mersmith-bridge nearly twelve lengths in advance, and Putney fully twenty before the Cambridge, who did not persevere to the finish, the dark blues also easing for the last two nailes, as the race was virtually at an end.

SIR,—In the House of Commons last evening, Mr. A. Smith is reported to have said, that "it is impo,.sible to foretell the weather," and he objected to the id , a entirely. I maintain that the honourable gentleman is quite wrong, as the signals used by Admiral Fitzroy frequently point out storms, &c., with accuracy ; and the late Astrometeoro logical Society (although ridiculed by ignorant and pre judiced people), of which I was a member, in their publica tions showed distinctly that storms and earthquake 3 may be pointed out with a fair amount of accuracy, for months be fore their occurrence, upon the principles explained in the Society's publications, which are sold by Mr. Berger, In my book, "Astrology in a Nutshell," I explained the same rules, which arA open to all comers.—Yours obediently, 13, Chatham-place, 27th March. CHRIS. COOKE. A NOBLE RESCUE BY THREE FISHERMEN.— Lord George Hill, of G vveedore, recently brought under the notice of the National Lifeboat Institution the following noble service by three fishermen in saving life from an American vessel. During a fearful hurricane a large ship was seen on her beam ends amongst the breakers off the Island of Innishenen, on the coast of Donegal. The unfortunate crew, of 28 men, had taken to the rigging, from which, during the frightful hurricane and heavy surf, they momentarily expected to be washed. It was truly heart rending to witness the poor fellows clinging to the rigging, over which mountainous waves straight from the Atlantic were constantly breaking. No assistance could possibly he rendered to them from the shore, for the nearest lifeboat was 100 miles away. In about two hours the ship began to break up, and the roof of the deck cabin floated off with two men on it. Their truly awful state greatly moved the crowd of spectators. At this moment three stout fishermen putoffi basketntheircueervraegrehd, a wi s t m h al p l ai f n ra te il d b c o a at n , va w s h . ich Af i t s e r:e p r a e d ly a wicker _ dling their frail craft some distance, they succeeded in taking one man alive off the raft, the other poor fellow having diced of exhaustion A more daring deed hes sel rd3oemhbeeaennnepterffeorreimethd.o fa A ih n t y es o t n id e ea wh e o f h th a e s d n e o e t g s e e r en i n a c ti e r u r erd by going out in such a sea, in such a craft, and taking off a drowning a, d almost insensible man from a raft. After taking in the poor fellow, the curragh itself was now ob served to be in a most dangerous position. A boat put off from the island to its help, and fortunately succeeded in bringing all safely to land. Altogether 21 persons were saved by the islanders from a watery grave, seven of the shipwrecked crew having perished from the fearful wreck. The vessel was the ship J. S. Parsons, of New York, bound from Liverpool to that city. Inspecting Coastguard officer R. Edwards and his men very laudably exerted themselves on the occasion. The National Lifeboat Institution has given the three fishermen £6 for their gallant deed. It has also voted its thanks, inscribed on vellum, to Mr. Edwards and £8 to his men and others, for their praiseworthy efforts on the occasion.

Yesterday, at a special meeting of this company, Mr. Whalley, M.P., in the chair, the agreement for working the undert%king of the Newtown and Machynlleth by the Obwestry and Newtown was confirmed. OTTOMAN (SMYRNA TO AIDIN). The directors state in their report that they have devoted all their available resources to the completion of the un• finished portions of the opened line to Ephesus, and have endeavotr ed to increase the traffic upon it by so improving the arrangements that the advantage of the railway over the old camel transport might have its due influence with the merchants in the interior, and induce them to send all their produce by the railway. The directors have been disap pointed in these expectations, and have not found the traffic increase in the ratio they had anticipated. The evils of a break in the transport are assigned as the sufficient and certain cause of the continued employment of the camels, added to the comparative shortness of the distance after the camels have traversed the worst part of the journey over the mountain pass. The only effectual remedy lies in the earliest possible completion of the line through the hills to Aidin; and until this is accomplished it is now the opinion of the best local authorities that the greet trade of the Meander valley will be retained in great part in the hands of the camel owners. The difficulty of obtaining the re maining capital in the continued depressed state of the com pany's shares has, up to a very recent period, prevented their being able to suggest any feasible plan for the pur pose. The necessity of completing the line to Aidin is so urgent and imperative that the directors have opened com munications with the Ottoman Government on the subject, as the interests of the Government are affected equally with these of the shorohnidore. Crampton, tho oontrootor, haa recently returned from Constantinople, where the question has been very fully considered and its importance admitted. The receipts on capital account amounted to £854,781 and the expenditure to £869,709, leaving a balance of £14,928 against the company. The revenue account showed that £8,748 had been received during the half-year ending the 31st of December, and £7,257, or 33 . 15 per cent. expended, leaving a balance of £1,471.

(From the 2i'mes' Special Correspondent.) BRESLATJ, MARCH 24. I have to supplement the parting proclamation of General Langiewicz by a paragraph, which—it is easy to perceive why—was not contained in the version given by the Czas. The following words, I find, have been suppressed by the organ of the national cause : " But a few hours after my departure calumny denounced me a traitor, an embezzler, mid a thief. The same infa mous slanderers instigated desertion in the camp, and while intending to destroy myself, they only benefited Muscovy, and prepared an easy triumph for the foe. The adherents of the ambitious criminal I have to thank for all this are rot aware, or, if they are aware, utterly ignore that my only object is to restore the liberty and independence of the country." In a preceding paragraph, which is also diffe rently given by the Czas, the passage referring to his secession thus appears in the version now come to light : " The Russian agents hiding themselves in your ranks made it necessary for me to depart secretly, and without bidding you farewell. The same reason, also, prevents my informing you of my ultimate destination." The proclamation has not been printed, but cir culates only in written copies among the Poles. Deviation from the original text and the existence of different readings are accounted for by this circumstance ; but the new version, I believe, must be held the more authentic from grounds of internal evidence. It was not in keeping with his past career to abscond and leave his gallant troops to fight it out for themselves. In this important respect the new proclamation shows him in a different light from the first. Supposing the new text to express his actual motives, he absented himself not because he was afraid of the Russians, or faced death with a fainter heart than he wanted his soldiers to possess; but discord and the inordinate ambition of individual leaders sent him away a fugitive at the very time his presence was most dearly required with the army. The ambitious criminal he alludes to is evidently Mieros lawski, who has already divulged his prior claims to the Dictatorship. You will also notice that, while the first proclamation was represented to have been issued before his departure, the second can only be construed as a production of the day following. However that may be, the Poles have again given a signal instance of indulging their national vice. Contrary to what appeared on the surface, they are as quarrelsome as ever. The latest news does not contain any very intelli gible outline of subsequent events. Dissolution, it is evident, has been too general in the mein force to admit of regular movements and a march with any predetermined object in view. The only cir cum stance to be clearly defined amid a confusion of fragmentary particulars is the prevalence of flight and the sudden disappearance from the scene of several thousands of men. The bodies which tra versed the Austrian frontier, as well as those con tinuing a feeble resister ce along the border line, do tot account, in any way, for the masses assembled a few days ago under the colours of the Dictator. Where they have gone, and what has become of them it is only possible to guess ; but as the majority were never encumbered with uniforms, and cannot be distinguished by any external mark from the gene rality of the inhabitants, they have probably dis persed throughout the villages, or passing the frui tier in detached bodies, found an anonymous shelter in Galicia. Among the remnants still fighting for escape we find Colonel Czachowski scouring the country with 300 men in the western ccrner of the kingdom, and looking out, probably, for a safe retreat to Cracow. In the same neighbourhood another detachment of 500 men, being prevented from crossing the frontier, has been driven back into the interior. A third body, under the command of Colonel Cieszkowski, has been pounced upon near Ziwierec, and, with the Austrian border post in sight, is battling for the miseries of exile. Com plete uncertainty prevails as to the fate of those who made off to the north. While once about it, the Russians, it appears, devoted themselves to the task with a will. Not content with the pleasures of the chase on Russian territory, they pursued the involuntary emigrants beyond the confines of the Czar. The Austrian frontier on this occasion has been violated again on several points. At Czulice, for instance, a village near Cracow, the Cossacks cut down a number of insurgents, and, firing at the Austrian troops, who offered resistance, captured an officer, car rying him off to the commandant of the party. The officer was instantly dismissed, though not with out leaving his sword, his money, and his cigars in the hands of the intoxicated Tartars. Again, in the fields adjoining Czulice and Karniow, another party of insurgents, unarmed and entirely defenceless, were killed on neutral ground by the Russians. A man who sought refuge under a crucifix was shot down before the image of his Redeemer. Another defending himself with his fists, after being bela boured with the butt-end of a musket, eventually succumbed to the ball of a more merciful enemy. But the worst outrage was enacted at Karniow, where an Austrian picket was repeatedly fired at while disarming some fugitive insurgents. On this occasion a civilian was wounded, and several rounds discharged into s t house. The Cossacks returned to Russian territory on the night of the 22d, and rest ing themselves after their labours at Biurkow, re sumed operations on the 23d, when half a dozen villages were burnt, and " order" restored in the district. It appears that all the way from Wawrzo czyce to Igolomia not a human dwelling has been allowed to survive their martial enthusiasm. Military intelligence from the north and east being rather vague during the last few days, leaves us without a clue to the all-important question of war or peace in the rest of the kingdom. I abide by my former opinion that, as far as materiel is con cerned, the Poles are just as ccmpetent to go on as before. Polish society,!while deficient in civilised elements, abounds in men unpretending and warlike enough to form many a band more of fleet gueri las. But the question is whether their courage will not fail them after this terrible eatastrophe. According to their papers, Langiewicz was not more than a leader among the many, and to all intents and pur poses must he ranked with Padlewski, Roginaki, Lelewel, and others. Bat the first shook upon the Polish mind has told a very different tale. If the Provisional Government are preparing for the de struction of Warsaw, with a view to enlist the sympathies of Europe by the magnitude of the disaster, the design, it is obvious, is the conse quence of despair, rather than any very san guine confidence in the future. It is openly said by the Poles that, as a last hope of success, they rely upon the bombardment of the capital. VIENNA, March 24. No one positively knows what induced Langie wicz to quit Poland, but it is supposed that he was unable to make head against the Democratic party. It was in the evening of the 19th inst. that the Polish Dictator crossed the Galician frontier near Opatowice. At Uscie Langiewicz was met by M. Bassler, an Austrian commissary, who quartered him in the house of a Galician nobleman, where he passed the night. In the morning of the 20th he was sent in a carriage, with an escort of four Hussars, to Tarnow. From that town he and Mademoiselle Pastoviytov, who is said to be the daughter of a Russian officer of rank, were sent by rail to Cracow, where they were shut up in the citadel. The "aide-de-camp" of the ex-Dictator, a pretty girl of about 22 years of age, wears the Polish costume with a Hungarian pelisse attached to her shoulders. When Langiewicz crossed the frontier he was in possession of a passport which has been issued by the Swedish Consul at Paris. This docu ment belongs to Waligorski, who probably lent it to Langiewicz. Between 2,500 and 3,000 insur gents have crossed the frontier during the last three or four days, and many others are impatiently wait ing for an opportunity of doing so. Several refugees have already been removed from Galicia to Moravia and Bohemia, and Langiewicz will soon be sent from Cracow to some place in the interior of the empire. ARREST OF COL. WAuGH.--Col.

TIIE RIOTS AT STALEYI3RIDGE.—DISTURBED STATE OF THE COTTON DIS'IRICTS. Col. W. PATTEN desired to put a question to the right hon. baronet the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with respect to the condition of the cotton districts. The right hon. baronet was aware that some disturbances had taken place at Staley bridge and other places. it would be satisfactory to learn from the right hon. baronet, before the house separated for the recess, that he was not alarmed at what had taken place, and entertained no apprehensions with regard to the period that would intervene before the Parliament re-assembled. Sir G. GREY replied that yesterday he was in a position to have answered the question satisfactorily, but to-day ha had received communications from both the civil and mili tary authorities in the districts referred to, stating that some apprehensions are entertained as to the future, which they attributed to the injudicious sending of £5OO to Staley bridge by the Mansion-house Committee. (Hear.) He had sufficient reliance in the military, and especially in the civil authorities, that any disturbances of the kind that might arise would be easily suppressed. (Hear, hear ) Mr. GU BITT explained that the money was only sent after repeated applications from the incumbent and other gentlemen of Staleybridge, who urged that if some money was n-t at once distributed riots and bloodshed could not fail to result. Colonel W. PATTEN said the name of his hon. friend the member for Andover (Mr. Cubitt) was held in the highest veneration throughout Lancashire on account of the munificent sums sent from the Mansion-house for the relief of the distress, out of the fund he had originated. (Cheers.) But during the last eight months a body of gentlemen in Lancashire, well acquainted with the locality, had earnestly devoted themselves to the relief of the dis tress; and they had thi oughout laboured under the greatest difficulty, in consequence of there being two sources of re lief—one in London the other in Lancashire. (Hear, hear.) The condttct of the Mansion Huuse committee, with regard to Staleybridge, was regarded in Lancashire as exceedingly injudicious. (lean) Mr. CUBITT explained that the London Relief Com mittee was set on foot four months before any other person took up the matter. (Hear.) Already £770,000 had been distributed. Mr. FE ItEAND knew of his own knowledge that the great mass of the factory operatives were opposed to the Staleybridge rioters, and indeed indignant at their conduct. The operatives were looking anxiously forward to the discussion on the distress in the cotton districts, which he mtaut to originate after Easter. Was the right hon. baronet aware of the accuracy of his assertion ? Si► G. GREY repeated that the information he had re ceived amounted to this, that the great mass of the opera tives had given no countenance to these riots; indeed tho conduct of the operatives was beyond all praise. (Cheers.) It was injudicious in the Mansion-house Committee to have sent the money to Staley !midge without agreement with ihe Lancashire Committee. The committee had un doubtedly been actuated by the most benevolent motives in their dispensation of the funds entrusted to them, but it was a matter for regret that two separate modes of relief existed. (Hear, hear.) Mr. BRIGHT considered it unfortunate from the begin ning that two channels of relief should have existed. Doubtless, however, large funds were obtained in conse quence of the appeal being addressed from the Mansion House. He hoped it was not too late to convey over the fund; the gentlemen composing the Manchester committee were well worthy of being entrusted with any funds that might be collected in any part of the world for the relief of the distress. The subject then dropped. ROYAL ASSENT. Col. CLIFFORD, Deputy Usher of the Black Rod, summoned tho Speaker and the house to the House of Lords, to hear the Royal assent to several bills. THE MEDITERRANAN COMMAND. On the return of the SPEIRER, -- Sir J. HAY asked whether it was true that the Naval Command-in-Chief in the Mediterranean was to be con fided to a rear admiral, and whether this appointment was rendered necessary by the unfitness of the forty-eight active admirals and vice-admirals to undertake that command, or in consequence of the reluctance of some of them to incur the Expenses incidental to the appointment. Lord C. PAGET replied that Rear-Admiral Smart had been appointed by the - Crown simply because he was con sidered a very competent officer, and not because the officers specified were deemed unworthy or did not feel inclined to incur the expenses mentioned. THE GREAT EXHIBITION. Mr. H. SEYMOUR asked the Chancellor of the Ex chequer if he had entered into negotiation. With Messrs. Kelk and Lucas for the purchase of the building of the Great Exhibition of 1862, with a vi ew to remove into i t a portion a the collections of the British Museum? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, was not officially in a position to afford any information. The dis posal of the builuing aid not entirely rest with the contrac tors, but the commissioners of 1852 and 1862. Certainly the terms asked by the contractors were not 041 as the • Ail lnett ) the rica, r the -Iltill niral aded ora 5, t for left .ican )ods, ving easel s to , 7 rotn t in ity's will the ated Ikes 75 to par ner- isi- now rbi ler diey am- lair.
