Neither the Grand Master nor the Grand Lodge has ever taken a part in pecuniary specu lations, nor granted to any undertaking of this description au thority to use a Masonic title. The Deed of Constitution of this Society has been studiously framed, so as to secure to the Proprietors and the Assured, the means of knowing and controlling everything that affects their interests. The profits are to be ascertained at intervals of five years, and seven-eighths divided amongst those assured at rates'entitling to participation, in proportion to the amount of premiums actually paid during any part of the preceding interval. The Shareholders are to receive 4 per cent. on the paid up capital, prior to any appropriation of profits, and at the end of every five years, the remaining one-eighth of the Profits.

The treatment they pursue is the result of twenty-two years' extensive and successful practice in London, and wiP not subject any patient to confinement or hindrance from business. Cases of an ex treme nature they eradicate in eight er ten days, or if slight or recent in two or three, without the indiscriminate use of mer cury, and at a moderate expense. Seminal weakness, Gonor rhom, and Strictures of the Urethra, unhappily so prevalent, are treated upon those unerring principles which have insured to Messrs.

The Courier of last evening, discussing Mr. O'Connell's speech on Monday in the House of Commons, remarks as follows :—" A very fertile topic with Mr. O'Connell is the injustice done to Ireland by the inferior quality of her Reform Act, as compared with that of England. Would Mr. O'Connell wish them to have the English Reform Act, with all its faults, transferred to Ireland? The Schedule. B Boroughs, almost as rotten now as in 1829 ? the pauper freeholder, and the sorry slavery of the tenant at will ? There are advantag e s, no doubt, in the English Act which h ave b een w ithh e ld f r om Ireland, but there are defects in it, th e infliction of which has been spared to Ireland. The very character of the representa tives chosen by the Irish constituency, is a sufficient reply to the delusive sophism to which Mr. O'Connell is never weary of returning." The Globe inclines to the opinion that the Lords will pass the Portuguese Slave Trade Bill, which in its first form, they rejected the other evening, observing :—" The course their Lordships in their wisdom may be pleased to take, in order to extricate themselves from the dilemma in which they have involved themselves, remains to be seen. The immediate condemnation of their conduct in rejecting the former Bill, not merely by the Members of the Commons who are opposed to the principles and policy in which a majority of their Lordships rejoice, but by the most distin. guished of their own party in the House of Commons, may, possibly, induce them to pause ere they, by a repeti itniodnigonfantht e f i e r e a h c n t g , d w r i a t w h w down h u t p h o e n g themselves o f t h t e h e b unrastti nation will not fail to visit the disappointment of its hopes of seeing an effectual check placed on the prosecution of this infernal traffic." The Standard, in a leading article, the text of which is furnished by the Lords' erasure on Monday of some of the clauses of the Metropolitan Police Improvement Bill, thus attacks the Melbourne administration :--" The House of Lords, thanks to the perseverance of Lord Lyndhurst and Lord Brougham, atoned last evening for the error of having sanctioned the second reading of the Metropolitan Police Improvement Bill, by striking out some of its most objectionable clauses. Enough, however, remains to render the Bill highly unconstitutional and mischievous. By no Government that has ever presided over the affairs of Great Britain, have the liberties of the people, in the truest and most healthy signification of the phrase, been less respected than by that of Lord Melbourne. With all the common-places of liberality continually in their mouths, they have contrived to avoid exhibiting, by any single measure, the slightest sympathy for the humbler classes of the community. On the contrary, they have treated them uniformly as if worthy only of the distinguished honour of being their slaves. This total disregard of the feelings and necessities of the lower orders, has been a marked feature of Lord Mel bourne's Government; and would have proved more ob noxious than it has, but for the interposition of the House of Lords." The Times of this morning, after queling a remark made by the Duke of Wellington in the House of Lords on Thursday night, to the effect that her Majesty's forces ought to be augmented in all parts of her dominions, adds : Ministers will not now before Parliament separates, apply for the means of establishing an adequate military force, because they dare not at the end of this Session fix the Radicals in an opposition which will tell against them at the very commencement of the next. Before that time new circumstances may have arisen to change the whole scheme of our establishments. A turbulent winter at home, the affairs of India, the designs of Russia —some, or all of these, may involve us in new exigencies, and smooth the approach to an increased supply. But it may even come to pass that this supply will be raised by a Conservative Admi nistration; that the single will of the Crown may cease to out weigh the desire of the country for a total change of men and measures ; and then the responsibility of an augmented force will be shifted from the Whigs to another set of Mi nisters, whose policy those Whigs will instantly hold them selves at liberty to thwart and starve. For all these rea sons the Ministers will wholly disregard the counsel of the Duke to strengthen their hands by an addition to their military force." The Morning Advertiser observes, in the course of a leading article commenting on the course of policy pu rsued by Ministers in Ireland:—" By the repression of the ram pant propensities of the higher classes in Ireland, and by the just and impartial administration of the laws, the Go vernment have been enabled to use prompt and active measures to prevent faction-fights and other causes of dis turbance among the lower classes. At the same time the work of national education has been in unremitting pro gress, notwithstanding the resistance of the factious. This mingled policy of firmness, justice, instruction, and well administered clemency, has done more for the peace of Ireland in a few years than armies could force in half a century, if ever." The Morning Chronicle, alluding to some recent pro- The Lords, w ceedings in the House of Lords , says :—" To l ament t h e folly of the House of Lords , a nd sa y that things would all be very well if the Tory Lo rds wou ld only return to a i b th ett t e he better wsuaeyeoesfs of think ea in e g h , e is x s p h e e ri e m r eimntb.ecfeileitl encouraged to y' act still more outrageously.

Thesiger, Channell, and Peacock, appeared for the plaintiffs ; and Messrs. Platt and Petersdorff for the defendant. Mr. TIIESIGER stated the case to the Jury at con siderable length, which he said was necessary, in order that they might be informed upon the facts of the case, which would be mainly supported by documentary evidence. He should have to retrogade as far back as the year 1710, and trace the matter in question down to the present time. The real plaintiff in the action is a Mr. Daniell, and the gentleman who defends the action is Colonel Wood roffe. This was an action brought to eject the defend ant from certain estates which were situate in several manors and parishes in the county of Surrey, but prin cipally in the parishes of Ash, Seal, and Poyle. It happened that several years ago the brother of the defendant borrowed the sum of 10,0001. on the estate, of two gentlemen, named Stewart and Drury, who held money in trust belonging to the plaintiff. It ap peared that after the money was so advanced, Mr. Wil liam Woodroffe, the deceased brother of the defendant, was only entitled to one moiety of the estate ; hence it was necessary to apply to General Maitland, who had married a lady, a collateral branch of the Woodroffe fa mily, who was presumed to have a contingent or abso lute interest in the whole or part of the other moiety. Mr. Wm. Woodroffe died in 1824, and the present defendant (the next brother) succeeded to the estate, and had ever since received the rents and profits arising from it. After going through a long detail the Learned Gen tleman said, in conclusion, that unless the Jury found for the plaintiff he would suffer the loss of 10,0001. hard cash, which had been advanced by his trustees to the defendant's brother upon the estate in question. Piles of old and modern deeds of settlements, mar riage settlements, wills, and other documents connected with the tree of pedigree of the Woodroffe family, were produced and several hours were occupied in reading them. Several witnesses were called to verify the signatures of attesting witnesses to various deeds, who have be come defunct. A vast quantity of certificates of the births, marriages, and deaths of members of the Wood roffe family were also put in evidence. Several witnesses were also called to prove the the property belonged to the family, and to explain who had for many years been the occupiers of the various farms in the different parishes. Richard Farrell, an aged farmer, sated that be lives at Ash, and holds what is called " Christmas-pie Farm," and held it under the late Mr. W. Woodroffe. Knows the Woodroffe estates at Ash and Seal, some of which had been occupied by his family for many years. Had pointed out to Mr. Makepeace and Mr. Crawler, a surveyor, the land belonging to the farms in the several parishes. His uncle held about 500 acres of the estate. The farm of witness is partly in Ash, part in Clegget Manor, and part in Worplesdon. Mr. Cobbett (the late M.P.) and then a Mr. West, held his uncle's farm before he took it. By Mr. PLATT.—I held Christmas-pie Farm about 16 years back. I can point out a friend in Court to whom I used to pay the rent ; Mr. Davison, an attor ney. I do not know whether he acted as steward to Mr. W. Woodroffe or steward of the manor. Some times I paid it to Mr. Edwards, a solicitor, since de ceased. He lived in Castle-street, Holborn. Ido not remember William Woodroffe's coming of age. I do not know that he kept a coach and six horses. I re member my uncle John being in possession of the farm 50 years ago. I have seen William Woodroffe at ray uncle's, but I never saw him receive any rent. Part of the property consists of a large park, and the Manor Courts are held at the Mansion-house, which is not now inhabited. By Mr. THESIGER.—Squire Woodroffe (William) has been at my house for a week together. I do not know whether he was there to keep out of the way. He kept in the house all the time he was there, and never went out. This is about 40 years back. My uncle used to call him landlord, but I do not know that he ever paid any rent to him. Mr. Davison, a solicitor in London, admitted that he had received rents, as stated by the last witness, but it was not on account of the defendant's brother, but for a Mr. Collier and his co-trustee. Several other witnesses having been called for the plaintiff, a long discussion took place, which resulted in Mr. PLATT, addressing the jury. He said that his Learned Friend had commenced his date with 1710, but he (Mr. Platt) would have to retrograde a good deal further back, namely, to the year 1658. He contended that Colonel Woodroffe, the defendant, had nothing to do with the borrowing of the money in question, and he ought not to be the sufferer on account of the profli gacy and prodigality of his deceased brother. When William Woodroffe died, in 1824, George, his next brother, (the defendant) claimed his undoubted right to it—a right which he hoped and anticipated the jury would not by their verdict divest him of. The Learned Gentleman then put in several deeds more ancient than those already produced. A gentleman from the Heralds'•office produced a book to prove that George Woodroffe, Esq., one of the direct ancestors of the defendant, was knighted at Hamp ton Court on the 19th of May, 1661. The same wit ness also proved, by documentary evidence, that on the 14th of May, 1790 (30th George III.), pursuant to the will of the third George Woodroffe, William Bib linghurst, his heir and successor to the estate, was, on petition, permitted to take and use the name and armo rial bearings of Woodroffe, and the matter was recorded in the Heralds' College. The defendant is the lineal descendant of the gentleman to whom the grant was made. The third G. Woodroffe died in 1778. The evidence having closed, a long desultory conver sation ensued. It was agreed that a verdict should be taken for the plaintiff, but all the points of law arc to be reserved for future discussion. This case was tried a year ago, when it was referred to a Court of Equity who sent it back again to be tried before a jury. It was said that the decision in the pre sent instance only places the litigants in static quo, and, unless some arrangement be made, they must commence dc novo. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.--.LANCASTER, Au°. 9. This morning, at ten o'clock, the business of the northern division of Lancashire was proceeded with, Mr. Justice COLTMAN presiding on the Crown side, and Mr. Baron MALILE on the Civil. The calendar is not heavy in point of number, there being but eight prisoners, including James Lacky and Julia Lacky, charged with the murder of Michael Dono hue, at Preston, in November, 1838, and whose cases were put off at the last assizes on account of the absence of some material witnesses, supposed to have been kept out of the way by the procurement of the friends of the prisoners. On the Civil side twenty-seven causes are entered for trial, including eight tithe causes, which, however, will, it is supposed, be referred. SATURDAY, AUG. 10. SHORROCK V. GREENWOOD. SEDUCTION.—This was an action to recover compen sation for the seduction by the defendant of the daughter of the plaintiff. Mr. DUNDAS, who conducted the plaintiff's case, said, the plaintiff was a carrier, residing in the neigh bourhood of Blackburn, having a family of two daugh ters, and one son, an infant. The defendant was of the age of twenty-eight years, the only son of a Mr. Green wood, the proprietor of a cotton manufactory at Black burn. Of the plaintiff's children, Alice, the eldest, was the subject of the present action, and, with h e r sister, followed the occupation of hand-loom weaving in her father's house. The yarn was procured from the manufactory of Mr. Greenwood, and the work when completed, was taken to his mill. It was i n ' consequ.ence of the opportunities thus presented to him of meeting with the plaintiff's daughter that the defendant's ac quaintance with her commenced. He succeeded in -imposing upon her inexperience (she was then but nineteen), he ruined, and he left her. She concealed as long as she could her pregnancy from her parents, but it was finally discovered. She became very ill from grief for the situation in which she found herself; and, finally, in the beginning of this year, a child was born. These were the facts tha would be proved. He had PRICE sd. been thus short in his statement that the evidence might come before them on its own merits, and tell its own tp.le. The plaintiff's daughter Alice was then called, and proved the facts stated by the Learned Council. On cross-examination she stated that the defendant has two sisters, and though he keeps " the book" at the manufactory, she has seen him engaged as a warper in the warping room. She herself earned on an ave rage Gs. per week as a hand-loom weaver. Mr. WILKINS, for the defence, submitted that the case should be treated as a quarter scssions case, and such d amages a l one g i ven as the Justices would have awarded as maintenance there. consulted Th a brief together fora summingfew minutes,up by a a n d i s Lo returned rdsh p a , verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 15/. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION -HOUSE. Mrs. Peggy Flynn, a woman remarkable for taking her own part, was brought up, charged with having flung a brick through the window of a public-house, and wound ing a poor woman who was standing at the bar. The injured woman did not appear. The waiter said that Mrs. Flynn, who was tipsy, was desirous to get more so, and having been refused more gin, became so noisy and offensive that he was obliged to take her by the shoulders and gently put her out of the house, an indignity which she resented by throwing the brick into the premises through the window. Mrs. Flynn—Why then to be sure I did ; didn't he give me this tundering black eye ? Waiter—l never struck her, on my life, my Lord. Mrs. Flynn—What a d—d liar you are, you villain of a thief. Policeman—l saw her, my Lord, with that black eye two days before this happened. Mrs. Flynn (turning about to the officer)—What a rascal of a liar you are, to be sure I I'd serve you right if I'd jist give you sich another; and if I hadn't the babby in my arms I'd be about thinking of it.—( A laugh.) The LORD MAYOR—I suppose this woman is well known? Policeman—Yes, my Lord, she is able to take h( r own part. Mrs. Flynn—l believe you! Sarve you right if I'd knock your two eyes into one, and your nose into the back of your head, you villain of the world. The LORD MAYOR--I suppose you are able to pay a pound to repair the damage you have done to the window ? Mrs. Flynn—The divil a pound I can pay; I spent eve!) , rthing I had. The LORD MAYOR—Where? Mrs. Flynn—Where ! in the public-house to be sure. Mr. Nobler—What part of Ireland did you come from, Mrs. Flynn? Mrs. Flynn—From Waterford, to be sure. Mr. Hobler—Because we wish to know the particular spot that had the honour of your birth ? Mrs. Flynn—Oh ! you've had me here among you every year these fifteen years. I wasn't half the thing I am when I first came over to you.—( Laughter.) The LORD MAYOR—She is committed. And when the woman she struck with the brick is able to come up, we shall punish her for that too. Mrs. Flynn—Good morning to your Lordship. Its often you gave us nothing. As for you (to the policeman), mind if I don't pitch into you right and left when I comes out of quad, you b--y cock-eyed son of a b--.—(Great laughter.) SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. (LLOYD'S.)

It is wise to be ready, but still we suspect the waggon-load of battons may, as far as the Chartists are concerned, as soon as possible be converted into pot. sticks. Since the above was written we have been in formed that the great majority of the proprietors of the cotton and other works in the suburbs have given notice to their work-people that should they absent themselves to-day (the 12th), under the pretext of holding the sacred demonstration, they will be considered as being dismissed. —Glasgow Herald. CONFESSIONS OF A THUG. BY CAPTAIN MEADOWS TAYLOR, OF THE SERVICE OF H. H. THE NIzAM.—" You have given a faithful portrait of a Thug's life, his ceremonies and his a2ts ; whilst I am prond that the world will know of the deeds and adventures of Ameer Ali, the Thug ;" are the concluding words of the autobio graphical narrative which Captain Taylor has here put into the mouth of one of the most desperate of that extra ordinary combination of assassins, whose atrocities have only within the last seven or eight years become the won der and horror of India. The history of mankind affords no parallel to Thuggee. The bands of the Old man of the Mountain scattered over many lands, the Secret Tribunals of Germany, the Inquisition, were all petty murderers, when compared with this terrible association. Romance could not invent anything so hideous and contradictory as is shown in this strange work ; and were not the whole system discovered, revealed and corroborated by unquestionable proof, it would be impossible for the mind to believe that such things could have been, and, in spite of all the exer tions of European intelligence and power, could still be. We have not room to tell of the incredible incidents with which these volumes abound, or of the various adventures and dangers of the Thug. These are altogether so curious as to ensure for this work a general circulation. The sketches of Oriental manners, customs, and society, which the subject involves, are alone a high recommendation to this publication.—Literary Gazette. THE Eyes.—Optical improvements to enable persons at an advanced age to read with ease, and discri minate objects with perfect distinctness. Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, Opticians and Aurists to the Royal Family, 96, Cheapside, arid 39, Albemarle -street, Piccadilly, have succeeded in effecting a most scientific improvement in Spectacle Lenses, of the greatest transparent refractive power, for imperfect Vision ; the extraordinary advantage derived from this invention is, that they are adapted to the sight to the greatest nicety by experienced persons, of more than 30 years' extensive practice, so that the sight becomes preserved and strengthened, and persons are enabled to employ their sight for any length of time, either by day or candle light, at the most minute occupation, with ease and comfort. These Spectacle Lenses are con structed on a principle that persons can see with them of a much less magnifying power, nor will they require the change so frequently to greater magnifying powers as those now in common use; those objects being accomplished, is a matter of much deeper importance to the public than may be imagined; thousands of individuals have been most seriously injured in consequence of neglect to those sub jects. Persons can be suited at a distance; those who have never used Spectacles, by stating the number of inches they can see moderate sized print from the eye, and those who are making use of Spectacles by sending them, and making the same statement. The Messrs. Solomon's Voice Conductors, for deaf persons, are not the least per : ceptible, and give immediate relief.—No agents nor tra vei ers are employed.

BOMBAY, JUNE 2, 1839.—These are stirring times in o l u n r cli j a a , le an n d ew. Isprosr Jam es ce i ed to give e ayronuaca,ourvery new Governor, rapids o k v e e tch o o r f arrived on Friday, after a passage of one hundred and ten days, and was yesterday sworn into office. A vast deal depends upon his proceedings at this eventful mo ment. There is but one opinion amongst those ac quainted with India, that our power in this quarter is about to undergo an ordeal far more trying than any it has yet encountered. The first step has been propi tious : by the latest intelligence from the army the con quest of Cabool appears all but certain. The two for midable positions, the Bolan and the Kojuck passes, which a handful of men might have successfully defended against powerful armies, had been left unoc cupied, and were surmounted without loss—the expe dition, in fact, has not yet encountered any opposi tion whatever ; and as it is pretty certain that the appeal made by the Sirdars to the religious bigotry of the population has utterly failed, it is not likely that any opposition will now be offered to our progress. Letters have just been received here, announcing the entry of the army into Candahar on the 25th ultimo, the southern capital of the state, and the flight to-. wards Persia of its chief, the brother of Dost 111oham met, of Cabool. Tne latter, and the Peshawar Ameer, are making preparations for 'flight by selling off whatever they can lay their hands upon. This news is of vital interest, tOr had these Princes the cou- rage to offer us any opposition in the almost disor ganized condition of the army, the result would have been most deplorable. The accounts which we have been receiving here from the army for some weeks were truly startling. Owing to the treachery of the Khan of Kheilat, upon whose friendship too much reliance , had unfortunately been placed by Sir Alexander Burnes, the supplies of every necessary of life had been with held. The camels were the first victims, and, by their .JSS, quantities of valuable stores and proprty were necessarily abandoned to the clouds of savage plun• derers who hovered night and day upon the flank and rear of the expedition. The camp followers, who in an eastern army, as you are aware, far exceed the combatants in number, soon began to feel the horrors of famine ; they are described by an eye witne.Fs as contending with the wild dogs and vul tures for the bodies of the animals which had fallen in the road. The troops were reduced to half their re• gular allowance, and numbers of the horses shot, A short time further would have sufficed completely to disorganise the army ; indeed letters from the camp describe the advance of the British into Cabool to be unparalleled in the annals of modern warfare, except by the retreat of the French from Russia. Shah Soojah's contingent had dwindled from 6,000 to 1,500 men. What a blessing that we were not attacked while in this miserable state ! The tide had fortunately turned at the date of the last accounts. Provisions were coming in freely ; many camels had been procured, and the British force before Candahar mustered (exclusively of Shah Soojah's contingent, and of the irregular corps) 11,000 fighting men of all arms. You have heard of the departure of the British Resi dent from Buzhire, in consequence of the gross insults offered him by the Persian authorities. Her Majesty's ship Cruizer arrived here last week from the Gulph, bringing intelligence that all apology was peremptorily refused. Tile Shah, it was said, was at the head of an army of 60,600 men and 200 pieces of artillery, about to move somewhere forthwith. Herat, it is generally supposed, is the object of attack. British influence has been much weakened in Persia ; the departure of our Resident from Bushire was represented to the surround ing countries as an ignominious flight, and the first step in th recession of British power from the Eastern world. An officer who went from Barrack some time since to Bagdad, to purchase mules, could not procure them for any price, when it was diseovered they were intended for the British. The story which he found current there in everybody's mouth was, that there is an over whelming Russian army on the borders of Armenia, advancing to drive us from the East. This popular rumour indicates, at least, the hopes and wishes of our late allies. Runjeet Singh has been for several weeks speechless, and expected every moment to die. Thereis scarcely a day that a report of his demise is not current, both here and at Calcutta. By letters, however, from Lahore, of May 7th, it appears that he is still alive, though recovery is is wholly out of the question. His death at this critical moment cannot fail to add to our embarrassments. The various tribes subject to his authority have Do bond of cohesion whatsoever, excepting the influence of that master-spirit which had consolidated them into a powerful kingdom. His death, it is supposed, will be the signal for an interminable civil war, and we shall thus lose the support of a military power which is, after our own, by far the most formidable in India. 'There is, however, a large British force encamped at Verozpore, under the command of Colonel Hunter, ready to enter the Punjaub at a moment's notice, and, by adopting the cause of the Runjeet's legally ap pointed successor, to maintain, if possible, the integrity of his kingdom. You will have no doubt received before this can reach you the important intelligence from China. The sur render of all the opium belonging to British subjects has been extorted by measures which many consider most unwarrantable. Viewed in a pecuniary light it is a great blow to individual interests, and to the general commercial prosperity of this country. The opium mer chants here are, or at least pretend to be, perfectly easy, as Captain Elliot's guarantee for indemnification binds, as they conceive, the British nation irretrievably. The wisest ones here regard the chance of wringing any thing from Parliament as very remote indeed, notwith standing the chivalrous engagement of the British repre sentative. You, however, at home are the best judges whether or not that gentleman has exceeded the powers of his commission. The event, viewed in a political aspect, is most disastrous ; the Indian Government loses in one fell swoop a yearly revenue of between one and two millions sterling, and that too at the very moment when to meet the enormous outlay attending upon its military operations a large increase of revenue has become al most indispensable. The quantity of the drug imported into China from this country this year would, it is said, but for the late proceedings of the Chinese authorities, have amounted to the enormous extent of 40,000 chests. Part of this has been seized at Canton, part is still in this country, ready for shipment, and part is in transit ; all, of course, rendered as valueless as so many boxes of san 1. The internal condition of this country is at this mo ment most alarming. There is no doubt whatever that.. regular emissaries have been travelling in every direc tion, to raise the minds of 'the inhabitants by represent ing that British power is at an end, and that a new era of independence and happiness is about to dawn upon the millions of Hindostan. Some of those miscreants have been seized by the authorities, and it is quite certain that their efforts have been attended with very consider able success. The withdrawal of the troops from Poona and the surrounding districts for dispatch to Scinde was followed, as I presume you have already heard, by the publication of insurrectionary placards, announcing that British power had disappeared from India, and inviting the people and the army to co-operate in the esta blishment of a native government. Numerous arrests have been made, and the trials arc at this women in progress. The poor Ryots had actually been deluded into the belief that we were about retiring altogether from their country ; and some of the Patells, or Chiefs of the villages, had been induced to take bonds in the name of " the new Government." So much for Western India. In the south, a large British force has been suddenly assembled at Bellary, owing to the proceedings of the Kurnool Rajah, who has of late been carrying on military preparations in a most open and daring manner. The Hyderabad letters declare that the Nizam (a Prince possessed of territory more extensive than many of your European kingdoms) has been a party to the plans of his Kurnool neighbour, and the British re sident at his Court is said merely to await instructions from the Supreme Government to adopt a most decided course. In the Rajahpoot States of the north-west, the horizon is still more menacing. The Calcutta journals assure us, that before the end of the present year we t strongly e are to be engaged in act ual war in that quart er . A s , however, I have already remarked, compl e t e success i n Cabool would, in all probability, instuntly change the'. as p e ct of the whole game, 'Therenecessity upon isc the Government onepf vastlyon point whichauz . a e n an d no p t eo lo pe o l im a p t res h s o ed ine teo l menting the European troops in this country. The army, and more particularly the European portion of it, must not on any account be carried out of the country, no matter what the emergencies either of Cabool or Burmah. With an adequate European army, and with a General of superior talent, all is still safe. The emergency, however, is one which requires another Clive or Wellington. Lord Auckland's plans, as far as we can yet read them, appear admirable, but, besides the head to plan, we want the hand to execute. The monsoon has fully set in, and as we are yet without steamers of sufficient power to stem it, the Bombay Government dispatch the European mails to morrow, not by the usual route of Egypt, but by the Persian Gulph, Bassora, and Beyrout. Another mail was dispatched via the Red Sea, on the 20th ultimo, which may not perhaps reach England until after the pre scn t.—Ch ro nide. --- S USPECTED INFANTICIDE. --Between Wye and sGixeoor'gcelocckLodsilisN,lodnidscaoyvemreod thernhig a body of labouringa man, - named. newly bo rn female child, which had bean thrown into the dr ain of one of the houses now building in Upper Islington-fields ; it was wrapped in a woman's cotton apron.
