Da ed be' MARLIIRO'-STREET.-(TTITS 1) A Y.) circucasti , nces: Yesterday morning a gentleman, who gave the name of Power, csiled at . the theatre and engaged a private box for himlelf aid party, who were to atter(' the performance in the evening. He did not then pay for the box, sayicg that he had not the money on his person, but that he would do so on his arrival in the evening. At six o'cLek Mr. Power arrived with a party of ladies, and then said that he bad not the money, but offered a cheque far 5/. upon the banlting house of Cox and Gr(.z.nwooo's, if applicant could return him the diff.renee. Appli cant said this tins a very unmmal course, aid declined to hurl him the money, but at tie same ;itne off , red to return him the ditT•irence on the follswing tn)rning if he left the order cud his address. This be acoordingiy but the ch, que ss as returned by tho bankyr's on the fol lowing day (this morning) marked "no ffects." and on his repairing to the add ess left by Mr. Power he found that n.; per-on o! that name resided at the place he de ectib. d. He (appiicant) wishsd to know whether he could not have a summons against Mr. Powi r for swindling, or whether he should sue him as an ordinary debtor ? fits WORSHIP said that as no money bad bran handed to Mr. Power upon the order he could not be proceeded against al a swindler, and that the best way would be to summon him to the County Court. CLERKEN WELL.-( T HIS DAY.) William Eche. who described himself as a labourer, but had very little the appearance or manners of one, was charged before Mr. T)rwhitt with assault and at tempted rubbery on the highway. From the statement of the prosecutor, Mr. George Underwood, of Chapel-street, Somers -town, it appeared that last night, some time after eleven o'clock, he and a cousin of his were in a pie shop in Brill-row, when the prisoner came in and abused them in very brutal lan guage. They immediately left, going different ways, the prosecutor towards his own house, followed by the prisoner, who continued abusing Wm for some time, until at length, getting in front of him, he struck him violently on the breast with ono hand, and with the other snatched at his gold guard chain, which broke with the snap, and was pulled through the button-hole of his waistcc at. Ho was quick enough to seize the pri soner's arm before he could get the chain and watch away, and after a struggle, during which the prosecutor called out " police," the prisoner let go the chain and walked away. Witness followed, determined not to lose sight of him, and on a constable coming up he gave him into custody. The prisoner denied both the assault and the attempted robbery.—He was committed for trial.: WESTMIN STER.-(THIS DAY.) John Lincoln, a private soldier, was brought before Mr. A'Beckett, who sat in the absence of Mr. Broderip, charged with a violent assault on police-constables 190, 43, and 160, of the B division, and also on a constable named John May, in the employ of the Westminster Improvement Commission. Policy constable, 190 B, stated that about a quarter to twelve last night the prisoner was creating a disturbance at the Coach and Horses public-house, in York-street, and he was called on to quell it. Immediately on his interfering prisoner rushed furiously at him and knocked him down, and then continued to beat and kick him till he was insensible. Police-constable, 43 B, got prisoner cff his brother con stable, when be immediately gave him a blow which knocked him (witness) down. He soon recovered his legs, and kept prisoner at bay till two other constables came, and with their assistance he had great difficulty in getting him to the station. The prisoter's sergeant was in attendance, and gave the prisoner a very bad character. Sentenced to one month's imprisonment for the assault on 190, and another month for the assault on 43. ORSHIP-ST REET.—(TH IS DAY.) Janiev Leigh, age 1 13, a lad of decent appearance, was charged before Mr. Arnold with flinging a stone from a sling at the nine A. Wit. up-train from Hackney, on the East and West India Dick Extension Railway. Mr. James Moss, a genth :ran connewed with the railway, gated that a few minutes after nine o'clock that Morning, he was in Morning-lane, Hackney, when he Bay the prisoner take up a stone, which he placed in a sling. The up train from Hackney, which was full of pastengers, was passing, when he flung the stone from the sling at the carriages. He instantly laid hold of him. Mr. ARNOLD observed that it was a most dangerous offence, and that children were not aware of the effect of flinging stones at a train, as, from the rapidity with Which the t ra i n was g , l og . th e stone struck a person or a carriage as a shot would from a gun or a pistol. The father of the prisoner said that his son was not an ill-disposed boy, and that he thought he did not Mean to fling the stone at the train. He was aware of the cl ang „.. Mr. ARNOLD remarked that the lad was prepared with a Sling. He could not let the prisoner go without some Punishment, as it was a very serious offence. In consi deration of his youth be should inflict a small fine. The prisoner w a s fi ne d 10 s ., or in default seven days' i mprisonment. The fine was paid. ADELPHI THEATRE. The Adelphi company► returned to their own theatre from the Haymarket on Wednesday evening last, and were welcomed back by the enthusiastic cheers of an audience who occupied every available portion of the house. Before the opening of the doors the crowd in the Strand was very great, and within ten minutes afterwards the house was crowded almost to suffocation in every part. During the re cess it has been entirely redecorated in a most taste ful and appropriate manner ; the decorations of the ceiling and of the front panels of the boxes are very beautiful. The performances consisted of Giralda, His Last Legs, Jack in the Green, And The Double- Bedded Room, they allwent off gloriously, as Adelpbi pieces always go off, amidst shouts of hearty laughter and enthusiastic applause. ROYAL PRINCESS'S THEATRE. There was a regular overflow at this theatre last night to witness the third performance of Twelfth Night, and Mrs. C. Kean's charming personation of Viola. Not a seat was to be had in either pit or gallery before the curtain rosy, and the boxes, both private and public, presented a most brilliant array of enthusiastic spectators. Tne several performers exerted themselves with even increased effect, as com pared with the representation on Saturday last. Not a point was lest either by actors or audience, and there is no doubt but that the play as now acted will bring in a bumper for many a night to come. At its conclu s i on M rs . K ean appeare d b e f ore the curta i n, in obedience to a prompt and unanimous call from ev ery part of the house. The Keeleys .and Wigan kept the house in a roar from the beginning to the end of Platonic Attachments. Notwithstanding that the ballet divertissement followed, the performances Were concluded by a few minutes after 11 o'clock, a practice which might be followed with decided ad- Vant age. by o th er th eatres , as i t wou ld a ff or d amp l e time for peop l e to get h ome b efore midnight, and so finish the pleasure of the evening by talking the play over during supper. TRU WATERFORD AND LIMERICK RAILWAY.- On Wednesday the Earl of Glengall and the directors of the Waterford and Limerick Railway, held a meeting at their ollice in Limerick. Mr. Dargan attended, and it is supposed the works for the completion of the line will very soon be un dertaken. TH E LATE EXPLOSION AT SEAFoRD.—We learn from a person who was at Seaf or d y ester d ay, t h at the late high tide has washed away a considerable portion of the chalk which was forced into the sea by the late explosion ; and that unless something is done to prevent further inroads of the sea upon the mound, the effect which was sought to be established is likely to be lost. Although the explosion was most satisfactory to those who performed the operation, we hear that the result is not so to other parties, who ex pected that the; dislodged portion of the cliff would have formed a more extended breakwater, by falling in larger masses of chalk. Time alone can show what advantage will be obtained from the experiment.—Brighton Gazette. REALITY OF A DREAM.-A most wonderful cir cumstance, whiclf a dream has been the means of bringing to light, happened yesterday in this town. Mr. Deruze, who died suddenly on Monday last, was supposed to have been a wealthy man, and that his ready money would have amounted to a considerable sum. His effects were taken Possession of by a gentleman of this town, and a strict and rigorous search instituted for his will, and of course money was expected, to have been met with in his t run k s , d rawers , desks, &c. The amount found was a mere trifle, we believe not amounting in all to 161. Astonishment was at its height, and it appeared incredible that no more came to light. On Wednesday night, however, a young woman named Annie Waite, of this town, " dreamed a dream " to the following effect —viz , " That if a certain escrutoire were searched at twelve o'clock yesterday, a large quantity of money would be found." This dream was laughed at by some, but it was at last carried to the ears of a gentleman who had the effects of the deceased under his „charge, and, proceeding to the place indicated, a search was made, and rewarded by the finding of forty doubloons and about thirty or upwards of gold two-dollar pieces. What makes it more singular is, that the desk had been searched the day previous, but the money was Concealed in a bock part, and probably would have remained there for years, had .it not been for Annie Waite's golden clream.—Mont;To Boy Union (Jamaica paper). GAS COMPANIES.--Mr, Hume has obtained a. return, which was yesterday printed, containing an account for the last three years of the price charged by all the gas companies in the United Kingdom for gas at the rate of 1,003 cubic feet, with the price of coals in the period, and the capital invested by each company. The Honourable Member procured a similar return about three years ago. MANSION HonsE.---The Lord Mayor has issued Chall, ards of invitation for a banquet to be given in the Egyptian on Wednesday, the 16th inst., to the leading bankers and the principal merchants in the city ( f London, as well as to the matters, wardens, and clerks of a major part of the City companies, and several distinguished private friends. A Retavans LT AlivAiffs lioTen.—Sir Lewes and Lady Carnegie, from Eaton Park. Departures from ditto : Sir Thomas and Lady Rokewoode Gage, for their seat, lien grove Hall, Suffolk; la Coontes!e de Alcoy and family, for Prance: the Earl and Countess of Shrewsbury, for Italy; Lord and Lady Farnham, for the continent. SPEAKING TUIIES.—A medical gentleman in Ply mouth has adopted the excellent plan of fixing a motta percha mouthpiece by the side of his bell-handle at the Street door, and attached to the mouth-piece is a long gutta percha tubing, which reaches to his bed. In the night,when the bell is rung, the tube, which bangs suspended by the bedside, is immediately resorted to, and a conversation is carried on without the necessity of the doctor even rising from his pillow. This is a very great convenience, and pre vents the necessity of that exposure to a cold atmosphere, which must frequently prove very prejudicial to medical tlaeriee-Plymouth and Devon Journal, Sept. 26. OVER,L AND MAIL I N 1) I A. We have received letters and papers in anticipz.- :on cf the Overland Mail. The dates of the intelligence brought by this", ar rival are—Bombay, August 31 ; and Alexandria, Sep tember 23. Pull particulars as to the ttate of our Indian pos -8"i"S will be found in the following summary of a corrapondent at Bombay : " BOMBAY, A UG. 31. " British India is pn founcily tranquil; and even Eishitwur has become as quiet and safe as the ave rage of Indian staticns. A new pass is being sur veyed to K.ihat, which, if found practicable for guns, will, it is stated, render our communications with that post independent of the Affseedies. " Lord Dalhousie is still enjoying himself at Che nee, a mountain village situated amongst the Hirca layas, about 120 miles north-west of Simla. Sir C. Napier is expected to arrive at Bombay in November (via the Punjaub and Sinde), on his way to Europe. "Civil war still rages in the Nizam's territories with varying fortune. The defeat of the Nawaub of Elichpoor, reported by last mail, was not so de cisive as was at first anticipated. By the last accounts the Nawaub had rallied his forces, and on the 9th of August gained a considerable victory over the N;zam's troops. The inhabitants of the country are fighting for the Nawaub, who appears very popular. The Nizam's household troops have again mutinied, on account of their long arrears of pay. His Highness is, it is said, resorting to the most discreditable means for raising money, by debasing his coinage, and selling immunity for crime to rich offenders. "In the native state of Oude another British officer (Lieutenant P. Orr) has nearly fallen a vic tim to the anarchy and misgovernment prevailing there. " Very extensive frauds have been discovered in the Bengal Commissariat department, and are now under investigation. _ " Captain Impy, of the Madras army, Assistant- Commissioner in the Tenasserim provinces, has de serted, and fled into the Burmese territory, where he has been treated as he deserved, having been stripped of everything valuable, and is now wandering about the jungle in a state of destitution. " The Prince of Muneepore, Kheertee Singh, has escaped from Dacca (where he was detained as dan gerous to the tranquillity of an adjrcent state), and reconquered his inheritance from the usurper who had expelled him. " Ninety coal boats have been wrecked while na vigating the Damooda from the Burdwan collieries to Calcutta. " Sir T. V. Stonehouse has been appointed provi sional member of Council at Madras. " The rainy season has been generally in Western India an avenge one, but with some local exceptions• At Bombay little more than half the usual average has fallen. " Lord Falkland is recovering from a severe attack of fever. Sir Willoughby Cotton has also been suf•• fering from indisposition. " The Bombay business season has opened pro misingly ; the price of cotton wool has risen 12r. or 14r. per candy, but very little now remains in the market." THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 4, lB5O. THE PUNJAUB. The Punjaub is perfectly tranquil. At Pesbawur robberies are of much less frequent occurrence than formerly, and the cantonment has become as quiet and safe as if it were one of the oldest stations in India. Its climate during the hot months is described as being far preferable to that of any station in the lower pro vinces. Two engineer officers are about to survey a new pass, said to be about 35 miles in length, through the Jawakee hills to Kohat. If it be found practicable for guns, it will render our communication with Kobat independent of the Affreedie3. Sir J. Campbell and Captain Keiller had returned from Cashmere ill of fever. Lord Dalhousie was expected at Lahore early in November. NORTH-WEST PROVINCES. The Governor-General is at present at Cheenee, an " alpine" village iu the valley of Kunawar, situated on the right bank of the Sutlej, about 120 miles north west of Simla. Nothing is known for certain re specting his Lordship's movements during the ensuing cold season. His camp is to be formed at the foot of the hills early in October. Letters from Simla seem to confirm the rumour for some time prevalent that he will remain at Simla during the year 1851. It seems that the Governors-General have quite abandoned Calcutta as their seat of Government. Sir Charles Napier is still at Simla, but is expected to arrive in Bombay on his way to Europe some time in November. lle will come from the north-west pas- sages by the Sutlej and Indus, making a short stay at Kurrachee. He has issued a general order condemna tory of the conduct of those commanding officers who neglected to read and explain to their regimentt the orders issued in October, 1849, by the Governor- General and Commander-in-Chief, with a view to preparing the minds cf the Sepoys for the withdrawal of Sinde allowances. To this neglect on the part of 111aj our Troup, of the 66th Native Infantry, it will be remembered that the mutiny and consequent disband ment of that regiment were attributed by Sir Charles. In this order the Commander-in• Chief very clearly defines the duties of officers commanding regiments, brigades, and divisions ; and states that his own period of service with the " noble Indian army" will very soon close. Court-martials and courts of inquiry are still pre valent. It is rumoured that four officers of the Queen's army have been obliged to retire on account of some gambling transactions. The officers appointed to sit as a court-martial on the Banda duellists and their seconds have assembled ,at Ca wnpore, but the trial has not yet terminated. BENGAL The principal Bengal news is from the eastern or Burmese frontier. Captain Impy, of the Madras army, late first assistant to the commissioner of the Tenasserian provinces, was suspended some time since pending an investigation into his alleged mis appropriation of part of the estates of a deceased officer. Dreading the result of such investigation he deserted and fled into the Shan country (tributary to Burrnah), taking with him arms and treasure to a considerable amount. Captain Impy is said to be popular with the natives of the country, and to speak their language well. Tne latest reports are, however, to the effect that he has been stripped of every article of value and expelled the Shan state, and that he is wandering, about the jungles in a state of destitution. The Tenasserim provinces seem to require the Go vernor-General's presence quite as much as Kunawar, but the climate is not quite so agreeable. Another important event has taken place in that portion of the Eastern frontier where the native inde pendent state of Muneepore intervenes between Ben gal and the Burmese empire—the state of Munee pore, which is of about twice the extent of the island of Ceylon. During the Burmese war, its then Raj e, Gubheer Singh, rendered most important ser vices to the English in their operations against the Burmese. Gubheer Singh lately died, and, as usual in the East, a good deal of fighting and assassination occurred amongst his family for the succession to the throne ; in these di s t ur b ances an unc l e o f th e y oung Prince got fora time the u pp er h an d an d ex p e ll e d the rightful heir, Prince K er t ee Ch an d Si ng h, en trusting him for safa custody to the East India Com pany Government, and the P r i nce consequen tl y be came for a time a state pri soner o f t h e C ompany , a t Dacca. The Prince has,. however, contrived to e s cape from Dacca, put himself at the head of his followers, and having beaten the usurper in th ree success i ve en gagements, in which he displayed considerable mili tary skill and great personal darirg, is now in firm possession of his fathers seat. The native state of Oude seems inclined to rival the Nizam's territory in anarchy and misgovernment. It will be remembered that some months since an En glish officer was killed and two guns lost in an attack on the fort of a refractory vassal of the King of Oude. A second event of the same nature has o ccurre d. Th e Raja of Esanuggur had shown himself for some time unwilling to pay the portion of revenue due f rom hi m to the Oude Government, and it became the duty of Lieutenant P. Orr to obtain these dues from him, but before resorting to more stringent measures he im prudently determined on an interview with the R a j a , who came attended by 20 0 armed followers.? Li▪ eute. nant Orr had with him only a Jemeclar s party of Sepoys. A discussion ensued which terminated in blows. Lieutenant Orr received eleven wounds (seven very severe), and was with great difficulty carried off by his party, who behaved very well, and sustained considerable loss. Tne Raja lost on his part his brother-in-law and three followers, and was hi▪ mself wounded. As soon as the Raja's fellowers had seen their master safe into his fort (which immediately opened a fire of grope on Lieutenant Orr's party) they commenced a pursuit, from which Lieutenant Orr with difficulty escaped into the districts of a rival Raja. Between 90 and 100 boats, laden with about 50,000 maunds of coal fr,rn the Burdwan have been lost while navigating the river Damooda, on their way to Calcutta. This river is only navi gable at all during the rains, and even then the upper portion is very rocky and dangerous. The boats lost formed rlri of 9. flat of reir 1,600, -p bich hart b.on .. • 1. ( . river. A torrent came down on tho 24th, and the fleet cast cif, but while passing some dangerous rocks lower down a blinding storm of wind and rain came on, and many of them were driven on the rocks and lost. BOMBAY. Lord Falkland is recovering from a severe attack of lever—he is still in the neighbourhood of Poona, but leaves for the Mahableshwar-hills as soon as the cessation of the periodical rains will permit him. The French frigate Poursuivante, Post-Captain Tam in command, with the flag of R,ar-Adiniral L. do Tomclin, arrived at Bombay on the 23d of August, from the Pacific and Pondicherry. She is going into dock for repairs, and is very short of hands, having lost upwards of 100 of her crew by desertion at C4librnia. Nothing further can be done with re gard to the Bombay Railway until after the monsoon. The shares are still quoted at forty per cent. discount. The monsoon is considered to have been a favourable one in western India generally, but nothing like the usual average has as yet fallen in Bombay. No serious scarcity, however, need be apprehended, as the island contains some hundreds of wells which never fail. Mr. H. B. Frere, C.S., is spoken of as Mr. Pringle's successor in the Commissionersbip of Sinde. The report, however, is at any rate prema ture, as the nomination to such appointment has been referred to the Court of Directors. All the reports and papers concerning the removal of the Beej spore gun have been also referred by the Bombay Go vernment to the Court of Directors, but the docu ments sent home are such as leave little doubt that the Court will order its removal to England. Its weight is forty-two tons. A military officer has been appointed to conduct, with Mr. Denison, of the Civil Service, an inquiry into the extensive frauds which are discovered to have been for some time going on in the Bengal Commis sariat. The investigation is being carried on vigor ously, and some of the delinquents are said to have turned Queen's evidence. THE NIZAM'S TERRITORIES. The cival war in Berar still continues, and with varying fortune. The defeat of the Nawaub of Elich• pore by the Nizam's troops, reported in the last over land mail, did not turn out to be as decisive as was anticipated. He succeeded in rallying and reinforc ing his followers; and, by the latest accounts, had gained a victory over the Nizam's troops at a place called Borlee on the Bth or 9th of August. The numbers were said to be 3,000 on each side. The Nizam's troops are said to have been defeated and pursued with great slaughter. The cultivators (liyots) of the country were fighting on the side of the Na waub against the Nizam's troops. Further particulars of this battle are expected. COMMERCIAL. STATE OF THE BOMBAY MARKETS—Auc. 31. IMPORT MARKET. Cocoanut-day fell this year upon the 22d inst., after which it is usual to consider the season for business opened at Bombay; and already considerable transac tions have had effect at improving prices. The fall of rain, though it has been scanty on the i-land of Bombay, and in this immediate neighbourhood, is reported to have been very great throughout Marwar, Gur nit, and most of the northern districts, while the accounts to hand of the crops of cotton, grain, &c., are in general most favourable and encouraging. The coasting trade, both for native craft and English steamers, is resumed, and cotton boats are now dally arriving. Metals—English and Swaliali bar iron are in good inquiry, as also lead and spelter. The supply of copper in the hands of the bez tar-dcalers is rather large, and all descriptions of this metal are looking dull. Cotton Manufactures—The favourable reports of the fall of rain from Marwar and other countries, coupled with the knowledge that there are only moderate stocks in Bombay and on the way, have encouraged dealers to begin to purchase; and although an advance on the closing prices of last season of 6 minas to 8 annas on grab shirtings, 3 annas to . 4 annas on Madapollams, and 2 minas to 3 annas on Jaconets, has taken place, yet holders do not wish to part with their stocks, consider ing the rise not equal to that which has recently been established in Manchester, and insufficient as it is to cover the cost of goods now on the way. The princi pal demand as yet is for gray shirtings (40in. and 45in.), the finer qualities being in improved request, and the stock very moderate. T-cloths have also been in de mand, and about 10,000 pieces of them are reported sold. Turkey red cloth of good qualify is also in improved ia quest. Scotch at,cl fancy goods are large in stock, and continue neglected: Altogether, though the sales now to be reported are not so great as those advised this time last year, there is a manifestly improved feeling in the market, and importers are looking for a still further advance. Yarns—These, both mule and water, have risen since our last, and are still rising in value, the stocks now in first and second hands being very moderate, while the demand is active. Beer—The sales of Allsopp's beer are 476 hhds. at 65r. per hhd., and 40 hdds. at 70r. per hhd. All the recent arrivals of Bass's have been cleared off at 65r. to 70r.; and 75r. are demanded for the next supplies. Hodgson's and Tennent's have been sold, we hear, to arrive, in small quantities at 55r. and 50r. respectively. Cochineal—We do not hear of any sales of this article except one of 2,8001 b. of silver at 2r. 4a. per lb. Stocks on hand are still large, and best quality is not worth more than our quotation. EXPORT MARKET. Cotton—This article has advanced from 30 to 40 per cent. in value within the last four mouths, and is now yielding a handsome profit to the dealers. Large pur chases have nevertheless been made for the Eogli.h market at our quotations, in not less than 15,000 to 20,000 bales, since the date of our last report of the 25th ult. Great efforts are at last being made by the local Government to nut down that vicious system of adulte ration of this staple export, which has been so long prac tised with impunity in the Guzerat and other districts by c xposing the cotton to damp, and mixing seeds end uncleaned with the newly cleaned cotton, &c., and which has latterly been very much on the increase, without al most an attempt to conceal the crime. The Chamber of Commerce addressed the Government on the subject sonic time ago; and it is believed that the remonstrances of the mercantile community must lead to an early and extensive change for the better. The regulations of Go vernment already in existence, if Well enforced, are be lieved to be sufficient for this purpose. Opium—Little or nothing doing, stocks being very small; and of first quality none offering. Our quota tions therefore may be considered nominal. FREIGHTS. Freights to Great Britain have not improved Eirce our lag, and the market has not been active till within the last few days, when there has been a considerable desire shown to secure tonnage at the prevailing rates, which we quote to•day at 21. lss. to 3/. per ton to all parts of Great Britain. To China we quote the rate at 6rs. per candy, but little offering at present. EXCHANGE AND MONEY-MARKET. Money continues abundant, and exchange on England favourtiEde for rtmittrrs. The last China mail brought on a large quantity of bills, which, however, were all readilytcktn up at 2s. 0 7-16 d. to 2s. 0 9-16d.per rupee, and we now consider the rate of the duy for bills at six months' sight 2y.0 d. to 2s. di. Local document bills have changed hands at Op. At 30 days' sight we quote the rate at Is. 1181. At 60 days' sight, on Calcutta, we quote B.h premium ; on China, 216 r. per 100 dollrrs. Bank and other stocks exhibit little variation. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. BOMBAY.

PERSIAN GULF. From information received from native merchants, recipients of letters from Muscat via Kurrachee, we understand that the steamer Sir Charles Forbes (which left for the Gulf of Persia at so bite a period of the season as to render it a matter of doubt whether she would succeed in getting across the Arabian Sea) has reached Muscat safely, having taken eleven days to run the distance of 860 miles, the weather having, as anticipated, proved very rough and :al verse. She proceeded immediately to Builder Abbas and Bushire, being anxicus to avoid the excessive heat which prevails in Muscat at this period of the year. By letters received from Bagdad via Syria and Egypt, we learn that the Centaur, Captain Herring, of and from Calcutta, with rice, indigo, and sundries, had safely arrived at Bu.sorah, and was expected to come down to Bombay on her return, with a large quantity of treasure which had been for some time awaiting an opportunity for shipment at Bagdad, Bussorah, Mahumrah, and Bushire. The want of speedier means of communicating be tween the provinces bordering on and to the north west of the Persian Gulf; was very much felt and complained of, no vessel having left the Gulf for India since April last. Commodore Porter, commanding the Indian naval squadron in the Persian Gulf, had paid a visit to Bagdad, as also to Nineveh, where, amongst other visitors to the indefatigable and indus trious excavator, he had been made much of. _ The cruisers in the Gulf were healthy by the last advices from the quarter, as were the officers of the Bushire and Bagdad residences. Commander Jones of the Nitocris, surveyor-gene ral, Mesopotamia, had been making further explora tions in those provinces, and is stated to be preparing some further most valuable and important papers, tending to throw much light on our knowledge of the geography, antiquities, and ethnography of the dis tricts he has lately been exploring. Colonel Williams and the other members of the Commission fur de• fining the boundaries of the Turkish and Persian dominions, were all in excellent health, and are oc cupying their summer vacation, during the excessive heats of which they are unable to prosecute the la bours of the mission in the unhealthy southern low provinces, in gathering such information as may tend to elucidate the subject on which they are engaged. —Bombay Telegraph and Courier, Aug. 1. SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH BETWEEN ENGLAND AND FRANCE. On Tuesday evening the first general meeting of the proprietors of the Anglo-French Company esta blished for carrying out submarine telegraphic com munication between this country and the Continent was held at Paris, Sir James Carmichael in the chair, when a report was presented by the directors relative to the works already executed, and as to the present position and prospects of the undertaking. The report commenced by stating that the experi mental wire was successfully submerged on the 28th of September last, and that printed communications, the original slips of which were now in the possession of the President of the Republic, had been telegraphed between coast and coast between seven and eight on the same evening, thus securing to the company, in conformity with the original contract, the concession of the undertaking. Shortly after the communication was suspended, and it was found to arise from the rupture of the wire at a short distance from the French coast; but this was not to be regretted, as the wire was purely for an experimental purpose. The directors had since opened negotiations with parties in Paris and Loudon, having in view tho formation of a company with a capital of 50,000/., in order to lay down a series of strong and permanent wires, and when these arrangements are sufficiently matured the shareholders will be further convened for the purpose of coming to the terms on which they shall convey their interest to the new company. Mr. C. J. WOLLASTON, GE., produced specimens of the proposed permanent wire, which excited con siderable interest, and which he stated would be of sufficient strength to resist almost any species of oceanic accident, whether from rocks, drift; anchor age, or otherwise. _ _ - Mr. F. EDWARDS, one of the directors, congratu lated the meeting on the success of the experimental achievement, which, in its results, he ventured to predict would be second to no undertaking of the age. lie drew attention to the causes of the rupture of the experimental wire, which was of no importance, as it would not affect the experiment on the now proposed larger scale. He also alluded to the exclusive privi leges the company enjoyed under the concession of exclusive telegraphic communication between France and England for ten years, and augured the most fa vourable results from the completion of the enterprise. Rosolutions were passed adopting the report and giving thanks to the promoters of the project for their enterprise and energy. Experiments are being made at Dover with the new cable, in which there will be four wires. The cables, of four or five inches thicknes3, composed of gutta percha, enclosed in w i re rope, all chemically prepared, will cost 40,000/. Patents are secured for England, France, and Belgium. There will be two of these cables, each twenty miles long, and three miles apart, the whole weight representing 400 ton%; and it is expected,when chaired down in the bottom of the sea, they will he of sufficient consistency and strength to resist the anchor of a 120-gun ship. The whole of the permanent wires and works will be completed by May, when it is proposed that Prince Albert and the Duke of Wellington shall open the communication on one side of the Channel, and the President of the Republic on the other.

" In order to prevent any misapprehension in re gard to the object of our voluntary mission, we emboe died the views expressed in the preceding paragraphs in a written statement, intended to be presented in the first place to the authorities of Schleswig-Hol stein. We arrived at Kiel in the evening of the 2d of September, and the next d a y waited u p on t he Pre sident of the Representative Assembly and several members of that body, u pon the Burgomaster, per sons connected with the - university, and other in fluential individuals representing different classes of the community, and explained to them the object of our visit. Although a fixed determination was ma nifest to resist force by force to the last extremity, yet, without a single exception, they expressed their willingness to leave the whole question at issue to impartial arbitration. " On the following day we proceeded t o Rendsburg, the principal fortress in Holstein, and then the seat of the Schleswig-Holstein Government, end waited upon the Stadtholders and other members of the Govern ment. They received us with great courtesy, and listened with serious attention to our written state ment and to the considerations and arguments which we urged in favour of arbitration as an equitable and practicable mode of settling the existing difficulty. They replied that it was quite impossible for the Government of the Duchies to make any proposition, and that we must distinctly understand that we had no mission from them to the Danish Government ; but they added that they should be willing to refer the claims of the Duchies to the decision of en lightened and imearti.il arbitrators, provided Den mark would also submit its claims to the same tri bunal, reserving for eventual arrangement the ap pointment, composition, and jurisdiction of the Court. " We reduced this reply to writing and afterwards submitted it to their examination, when they assented to its accuracy. " Having; obtained this declaration from the Go vernment of her Duchies we left the next morning for Copenhagen, where we arrived on the 10th inst , after having been detained several days in quarantine. " We readily obtained separate interviews with the Prime Minister and with the Minister of Foreign A fr-ies. cr3ll rP , -.2;1.7r , 11 19 with (rrcnt , d ::u LAI a sti s alai, Git: object of our mission and of what had transpired at Rendsburg. We invited their especial attention to the treaty of alliance between Denmark and the Duchies bearing date 1533, which was renewed in 1623, and confirmed at Travendahl in 1700, by which ' the contracting parties bound themselves mutually to assist each other, and, with respect to any differences that might arise between them, they agreed to adjust them, not by means of arms, but by means of coun cillors constituted as arbitrators, on the part of each, and disengaged from their oath of allegiance.' We conclude our statement in these words : " We come as private individuals, invested with no political authority; but we know that we repre sent the convictions and sympathies of millions, both on this and the other side of the Atlantic; and we intreat the Danish Government, in the name of our common Christianity, to arrest the further slaughter of those to v.hom God has united them, not only by the ties of the universal brotherhood of man, but also by close affinity and neighbourhood, and whom they even consider as their own countrymen. We earnestly appeal to them to put an end to this unnatural and deplorable war, and to accept a mode of settlement which shall recognise and establish the just rights of bath parties and heal the breach which the sword has made between them.' We added a few verbal re marks, and among others to the effect that Denmark, by this mode of settlement, would release herself from those obligations to foreign diplomacy which might obstruct the full development of her free insti tutions. "Both the Ministers expressed their desire to effect a satisfactory and pacific arrangement. They said they were sensible of the evils of the war, and were anxious to bring it to a speedy termination •by an amicable mode of adjustment. At our last interview with the Minister of Foreign Affairs he said sub stantially, that if the Government of the Duchies would authorise a plan or basis of arbitration the Danish Government would take it into immediate consideration. We subsequently received the decla ration that they accepted the principle of arbitration to the same extent that it was accepted by the Shies wig -Holstein Government at Rendsburg. " Having received this reply we returned to Kiel, to communicate it to the Government of the Duchies, and to endeavour to induce a direct negotiation on the composition, appoiniment, and jurisdiction of the Court of Arbitration. On the 23d and 24th inst. we met the Minister of Foreign Affairs, who authorised a plan of arbitration prescribed by the treaty between the two countries to which we have referred. He also appointed a gentleman to meet any one the Danish Government should be willing to commission, for the purpose of agreeing upon the measures regal site to carry this plan into effect. Steps have been to bring these parties together as early as possible ; and one of our number (Elihu Burritt) will remain at Haniburgh for a few weeks with a view of doing all in his power to facilitate and expedite this preli minary stage of negotiation‘ " Although you were in no way responsible for our voluntary mission, yet as it originated in the memo rial addressed to the Peace Congress from Berlin, and knowing the deep interest felt on the subject, we have deemed it right to lay this statement before you. There may yet be difficulties in the way of a final and satisfactory settlement between the contending parties, but we have great confidence that those with whom it now rests will be able to bring it to a speedy and successful conclusion ; and indeed, it has filled us with astonishment, as well as sorrow, that this un natural war, in which brother is arrayed against brother, and even father against son, should ever have been declared or have continued so long with men at the head of both Governments who appear to feel strongly those obligations of humanity and of the religion of Christ which impose upon them the solemn duty to settle the difference by reason and justice, and not by an appeal to brute force. If such an arrange ment be not now effected we believe that it will be mainly attributable to the interference of the great European Powers contrary to the wish of one of the contending parties, as indicated in the London proto col of the 2d of August —a document which has excited strong dissatisfaction in the minds of the in habitants of the Duchies, and in which millions in other portions of Europe largely participate. "If the steps now in progress shall result in a pacific solution of this aggravated difficulty we hope that the friends of peace will be encouraged to labour, with renewed zeal and activity, to substitute in every case of international controversy, the arbitration of reason, justice, and humanity, for the cruel and bar barous decision of the sword.

VISIT OF THE LORDS OF THE ADMIRALTY TO THE BRITANNIA-BRIDGE.—On their arrival at Holyhead in the Black Eagle Admiralty steamer, from Pembroke, the Lords of the Admiralty landed and minutely inspected the various extensive works now in course of progress there. The dock yard, the new harbour, with its immense seawalls and break water, the stages, and quarrying, with other operations were examined by their Lordships, who then started in a special train to visit the stupendous Britannia-bridge, over the Menai Straits. The members of the board were—Sir F. Baring (the First Lord), Admiral Berkeley, and Captain A. Milne, attended by Captain Eden and Mr. John Parker, the private and public secretaries. They were conveyed, accom panied by Mr. Edwin Clark, the resident engineer, through the tubes, after which they alighted and inspected the gigantic erection and the approaches thereto. Their Lord ships expressed themselves much gratified with their visit, and afterwards proceeded by the Chester and Holyhead Rail way to Chester. A MAN DROWNED IN THE IRWELL.—About eight o'clock on Sunday morning last, four young men, named Walter Worrall, Edward Oldham, Robert Robinson, and Pickford, with a boy, hired a four-oared gig from a man named Bailey, near Blackfriars-bridge. They rowed to Throstle Nest, and then returned up the river; but, when opposite the Pomona-gardens, Worrall's oar caught aglinst something in the river, and the jerk threw him on his back, upsetting the boat. Pickford, Oldham, and Robinson swam to the shore ; and the boy, who was acting as coxswain, saved himself by holding on to the boat, until Pickford, who was an expert swimmer, jumped into the river, and dragged it to the river-side. Worrall, however, not being able to swim, sank; and, as he did not re-appear, a drag was pro cured ; after about 20 minutes' search his body was found, and a surgeon was sent for, but animation could not be re stored. The body was taken to the Bridge Inn, i legent , i road, where an inquest was held on ton Monday last, by Mr. Rutter, county coroner, when the above facts were stated, and a verdict of "Accidentally drowned,' was turned. Several members of the jury, who live near the river-side, complained very much of the great nuisance created on Sundays, on the river, by large numbers of boats, filled chiefly with boys, who, during the whole day, are shouting to and swearing at each oth er; an d t h e coroner was d e sired by the jury to take some steps for the• suppression of the nuisance, by applying to the proprietors of the river and the authorities of Manchester and Salford. The deceased who was a dyer, was about 20 years o f age. —.Mane/testa'. Guardian.

ROYAL WESTMINSTER OPHTHALMIC HOSPITAL.- Yesterday a quarterly general court of the governors of this institution was held in the board-room of the hospital, at Charing-cross, L. Powell, Esq., in the chair. It was re ported that in the present year there had been 3,696 out patients, and during the past quarter 58 patients had been received into the wards. The secretary announced a dona- tion of 1001. by A. H. Bradshawe, Esq., 101. from the Earl of Dartmouth, and 501. legacy (free of duty) by the late Mr. James Lucas, of Fulham, "as a mark of gratitude for benefits received by him at the institution in July, 1641," and the Corporation of the city of London 105/. The state ment of the past year showed there had been 4,870 admitted, of whom 240 were in-patients, and 4,630 out-patients, making a total of upwards of 80,000, who since 1817 have partici pated in its benefits. - - FIRE AT GREENOCK —Yesterday afternoon, about two o'clock, the extensive joiners'-shop, wood-yard, and engine-house, belonging to Messrs. Thomas Lamb and Son, situate between Market and Buccleuch-streets, and Cow gate, Greenock, were almost completely destroyed by fire. It is supposed to have originated in the stove-house, and on the alarm being given the books were saved by the promptitude of some gentlemen who happened to be in the neighbour hood. Iu the course of little more than half-an-hour the premises were a mass of burning ruins. Happily the wind was low, and the adjoining houses and shops, though several times on fire, were preserved, as was also an extensive range of new shops, which the Messrs. Lamb had just com p leted, on the east side of their property. The engines were well worked, and did much to save the contents; but from their inflammable nature it was evide n t from th beginning that much loss would accrue. It is impossible at this moment to state the amount of loss; but it is covered by insurance,— North British Mail. DURHAM AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.—D UR II AM, THURSDAY —The annual meeting of the Durham County Agricultural =ociety, for the exhibition of stock and imple ments of husbandry, took place yesterday in the neighbour hood of this city. After the proceedings in the show-yard had terminated, nearly two hundred land proprietors and tenant farmers dined together in the New Ilall, in the Market-place. Lord Harry Vane, M P., presided ; and there were present among others, the Duke of Cleveland, Mr. Granger, M P., the Rev. Lr. Townsend, Canon of D urham, and the R. v. Dr. The proceedings were chara cterise d throughout by a consi derable degree of despondency, but there was nothing in any of the speeches to call for a detailed report. i Cleveland recommended the s doption of an improved Duke systemved (;l of filming as the only way of meeti ng l ow prices, the ex tinction of antiquated notions , and the establishment of far mers' clubs. The Bridgewater Times recommends the removal of the Somerset assizes to that town, as the most centrxl place in the county. It adds, as another reason, that " but a few years since, we subscribed and l a id out 10,000/. i n the erection of a mansion for the judges, a grand jury-room, ;.nd an hotel, and which has made no direct return whatever to the subscribers." THE CLYDE TEUST.—The revenue of the River Clyde trustees for the last quarter was 16,3,7/. 2s. 7d., which, as compared with 16,25?/. Gs. 7d., the revenue of the previous quarter, shows a small increase.

STATUE OF WALLACE AT GLASGOW.—A gigantic model of Mr. Park's proposed statue of Wallace, is to be erected at Glasgow, on the area near Burn's Monument, for exhibition. The proceeds are to form the nucleus of a fund for the erection of a national monument of the hero, to be placed in an important situation in the city, hereafter to be decided on. The intended monument will stand fifteen feet high without its pedestal, and the model hai consumed nearly twelve tons of clay, every pound of which the artist himself carried to the spot upon his own shoulders. lIERFFOgniIIIRE ELECTION. -- The preparations fol the election of a successor to the late Mr. Joseph• Bailey, jun., are being carried on very quietly. Up to yesterday there was no second candidate in the field, although there is a rumour extant of the intention of the Free Trader to bring forward a gentleman to oppose Mr. Booker, the Protectionist candidate. Mr. Booker appeared for the first time at a pub lic gathering at Ledbury on the occasion of an anniversary meeting of the Herefordshire Society, the object of which is the apprenticing of Herefordshire boys to learn trades in Lon don. Mr. Booker appeared in the Character of a donor to the charity, and of course was toasted. Some people expected that he would come out with a political speech, but in this they were disappointed. Although he spoke at some length on the merits of the charity which the meeting had assem bled that thy to support, his allusions to his position as a candidate for the representation of the county were brief. The circumstances under which he appeared in the county of Hereford, he observed, were no secret to the meeting. They were circumstances which combined with them great regret, while they opened to him a prospect of great honour, and he had felt that he could net more worthily commence his public career in that county than by endeavouring, so far as lay in his power, to supply the grievous loss the county had suaained by the decease of Mr. Bailey. He felt also that he could not more worthily follow the beneficent ex ample of the deceased gentleman than by commencing that career with an act of charity which he (Mr. Booker) was sure Mr. Badey would approve of, could he be conscious of it. DEFINITION OF A TRAVELLER.—At the Choiley petty sessions, held at Rose Whittles, 1 - .•.ylarid, Thomas Bowling, of the Stars, Leyland, was charged with having his house open for the sale of beer during the hours of Divine service on Sunday, the 15th inst. It appeared that about twenty-five minutes past three o'clock a persm ' along with his wife, drove up in a dig. He got out and called for a glass of ale, which he drank, and gave a glass of rum to his wife. The defendant admitted the facts, and stated that his license gave him permission to entertain travellers during the hours of Divine service. He considered the persons in the gig to be travellers. They had come from Blackburn, and the gentleman had an establishment in Preston. The Bench, however,: decided that these persons were not tra vellers; they considered travellers to be persons travelling about for orders in business, and to be absent from home for five or six weeks at once; but persons coming from Black burn or Preston on Sunday they did not look upon as travellers; nei.her were persons entitled to that designation who came by cheap trips, nor were they privileged to get re freshment during the hours of Divine service. The de fendant was fined 10s. and costs.—Preston Guardian. CRICKET. 1 7 ,T T vr , OT rN.A. ND v. TWENTY-TWO OF BIRMINU HAM. This great mach was resumed and brought to its conclusion at Birmingham on Wednesday. A perusal of the score will show that in the first innings Armitage bowled seven wickets, the total score of the side being 75; whilst, in the second, Tinley was instrumental by his bowling in taking the like number, with a gross score for the innings of 40 only! The highest number in the latter hands was eight, that amount having been made by Martingcll. Ultimately the El Sven gave up the match. The final score stood thus:— TIIE ELEVEN. First Innings.

Since our last notice respecting the interior of the Pavilion, the decorations have been pursued with all alacrity, under the superintendence of Mr. Vick, who, it will be rememeered, was the contractor of this important part of the works ; and from a view of the interior, yesterday, we have no hesitation in say ing that the palace will be restored in all its pristine beauty, if not in all the gorgeousness of former times. Mr. Vick is bound to complete his contract by the 21st December; and, judging from the progress al ready made, he will have no difficulty in presenting to the town, by the prescribed period, the most elegant suite of rooms in the kingdcEa. Scaffoldings are erected in all the principal rooms; and the restoration of the paintings and the ceiliegs, in all the beauty of former ilmes, is a most gratifying spectacle. It was truly griev ous to witness the delapideticns which took place on the removal of the furniture ; but we believe the building will be so far renovated in a few weeks as still to merit the name of a palace ; and that its beauty and unique designs will remain to be admired by thousands. The pilastres have been renovated by a newly.discovered cement, called the Palen cement, which produces a complete marble surface. A beau tifully executed flower has been placed in the centre of the music -room, as near like the orginal as possible, and few persons would know the difference. Few of the inhabitants of Brighton had the opportunity of seeing these rooms lighted when the palace was occu pied by Royalty ; but from the manner in which the work is being carried on, and the arrangements for furnishing, we have every reason to believe that they will have almost as splendid an appearance as- in the times of George IV., save and except in the value f the furniture and its adjuncts. Nine chande liers are to be placed in the music• room, and an equal proportion of elegant lights in the other rooms. In short, the whole arrangements of the committee are excellent, and we are only sorry, after they had received a carte blanche for the expenditure of 4,5C01., that any commissioner should so soon question the ziropriety of these proceedings by cavilling over the application for a cheque for 6001. on account. The committee cannot go beyond the 4 500/., and the sa tisfactory manner in which they have acted through out ought to engender confidence that they will not -xpend the money in a lavish and improper manner. 'tie best answer, perhaps, to parties who doubt the proper application of the money would be a personal inspection of the works as they progress. We are of pinion that they would then leave the building per a,etly satisfied that the money is well applied.— Brighton Gazette. THE WALKER TRIBUTE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—What is going on in the management of a subscription to compensate Mr. G. A. Walker, in some respects, for his most useful labours, at great per sonal expense, and those who have been wholly neglected by Government in its distribution of situa !ions created by a new order of things? The "powers that be" are not proverbial for gratitude to those who bring about improvements ; I do not specially allude to the present, Ministers, but to administrations in general. Here is an opportunity, if the Ministry -,hirk reward of labour, for the just thoughtfulness of John Bull to take some concern upon himself. But heave Mr. Walker has sacrificed a considerable vortion of his life, during which time he was depen dent on his exertions as a medical man, and that he has also spent a great deal of money. Surely, there fore, if the committee would give people an oppor tunity, in different parts of the metropolis, to express heir con ecientious satisfaction at the abolition of inter mural burials—if they could not give " pounds" they would like to give something to swell the amount of a just compensation.—l mn, Sir, &c. Oct. 2, 1850. A CITIZEN. EXTRAORDINARY SCENE IN A CORONER'S COURT. —At an inquest held by Mr. William Carter, the coroner, at :be Hampton Court Palace Tavern, Fraser-street, Newing ton, as to the c:eath of Mrs. Mary Ann Davies, aged GO, a most respectable lady, who destroyed herself by taking oxalic acid, the following dialogue took place upon the names of the jury being called. A person named Watson, of Fran 6a-street, answered, but reins d-to be sworn. The Coroner — Upon what grounds? Are you of any particular religion? Mr. Watson—No. 'The Coroner —What countryman are you? Mr. Watson—A Scotch man. The Coroner—Then while you are in England you must abide by the laws. Are you of . any religion? Mr. Watson—None. The Coroner—Do y .. ou believe in a future state? But first do you believe in 6rod ? Mr. Wats( n—No. The Coroner — Do you believe in a future state? Mr. Watson — No. I believe in nothing but what I see. The Coroner—You appea r an infidel, and 1 can commit you to prison. Mr. Watson —l must abide by it. lam an infidel. The Coroner—l sha ll not permit you to be sworn. You may go. The whole room, coroner and jury included, month the new Bishop churches were astonished,at what had passed.
