INDIA AND CHINA. (From the Overland Bombay Tiaos, O pt. 17.) Summaßv.—Our details of news by the present mail are of the most meagre description, nothing of the slightest public interest—political or douiestic— having transpired since the date of our last dispatch. The general dearth of interesting matters for discus sion seems to be felt throughout the length and breadth of the land; and the leading journals of Madras have actually been compelled to resort, for want of matter more exciting to write about, to turn round upon the governor and government of that presidency, and rate them soundly, for no other reason that we can see than that Sir henry Pottinger and his coun cil, according to their ideas of the subject matter of animadversion, do nothing for the good of the public, and afford no service in return for the salaries they receixe. If this really be so, why then here is a case of no small importance ready made for the Thowp sons, the Lewins, the Humes, and the rest of the host of grievance mongers, to badger the East India Company about to their hearts' content. It is gratifying, however, to find that there is still a remnant of loyalty left amongst the " benighted" and that the whole of the community do not participate in the " Red" views of the local press, for we see it stated in the Spectator that it is in contein platiJn to give a public dinner at the banquetting room to Sir G. Berkeley, the out-going Commander in-Chief of Madras, as a mark of respect previous to his approaching departure from India. Lieutenant- General Sir Richard Armstrong, his Excellency's successor in the command, arrived at Madras in the Barham ou the 28th ult.; we regret to see it stated that he was in a bad state of health, and was unable to land until the day after his arrival. One of the north-west papers mentions that there are " mysterious whispers" abroad of an intended ex pedition to the Khyber during the ensuing cold wea ther. The particular object of the expedition has not transpired, but it is rumoured that the force to be organised for the purpose will consist of about 5,000 men of all arms, including two Goorka regiments and a troop of Horse Artillery. It is thought probable that Brigadier-General Sir Hugh Wheeler will com mand the force when it takes the field, notwithstand ing that he has expressed his intention of returning to England shortly to repose upon the laurels he has already so nobly won in repeated actions with the enemy in the field. Sir Hugh was invested by the Governor-General with the insignia of a Knight Commander of the Bath on the 30. h ult. at Simlab. The ceremony of the investiture is mentioned as having been on a grand scale, the whole of the so ciety of the station having been invited to attend to do honour to the occasion. The Lahore Chronicle, which is usually well in formed on the fact of matters on which it writes, states that notwithstanding the frequent outcries of the Calcutta press, the Governor-General has, at no very distant period, recorded his deliberate opinion that the supreme government should be located in the North-Western provinces. It appeared to be his Lordship's wish to unite a larger proportion of north west government to the Punjaub, and to form the whole into one presidency, the limits of the two to be somewhere about Allahabad, the Govern ment of Bengal annexing the provinces went of Soane, as far as Allahabad. In the event of this plan being carried out under the provisions of the new charter, it is proposed that the residence of the Governor of the north-west pro vinces should be at Simla—the subordinate offices, as well as those connected with the Supreme Govern ment, being located at Umballa. Our Lahore con temporary gives this as an explanation of the evident anxiety that has for some time past been manifested to complete the greatly improved communication b e tween Simla and the plains now in progress. It is further stated that the object which the Lieutenant- Governor of Agra (Mr. Thomason) has in view in visiting Lahore and the Punjaub, is to gather such information during his progress as will enable him to record his opinions on the feasibility and advisability of the plans proposed by the most Noble the Marquis Dalhousie. Another rumour has it that Mr. Thoma son will be the first Governor of the Lahore Presi dency, the civil members of the existing Board of Administration becoming a Board of Revenue. In case of these important measures being carried out, it is thought a change will also take place in the consti tution of the army, which will, it is said, be then separated into two divisions, which will be designated the " Bengal " and " Lahore " armies. We see it stated in the Calcutta papers that the native landholders of that city are forming a society for the purpose of appointing a representative who will advocate their interests in the Parliament at home in the discussions on the renewal of the Company's charter. The association has been established under the euphonious designation of the " Daisbaturthee Somaj, or " Society ,for the good of the country." The object is to be accomplished by raising contribu tions from the natives of the soil, and the subscrip tion will continue for three years, as the discussions will not, it is expected, come to a final issue till the end of that period. It is rumoured that Major G. Ramsay, assistant to the Resident of Nsgpore, has been appointed to act as Resident of Kattnendoo during the absence of Mr. Erskine from Nepaul. At the ordinary monthly meeting of the Bombay Geographical Society held on the 9th inst., that body recorded a resolution expressing the deep grief of the society for the loss of Ciptain J. P. Sanders, of the Indian Navy, one of the oldest and ablest of its mem bers, whose contributions have so often adorned the pages of its " Transactions. Lord and Lady Falkland and suite arrived at Ma habuleshwar, from Daporee, on the sth inst , and will, it is expected, take up their winter quarters at Parell early in next month. Sir John Grey and staff are also at the Hills, and will return to the Pre sidency about the same time as the Governor. Captain Nixon, of the 6th Bombay Native Infan try, has just been tried by genera l court-martial on the following charges—the decision of the court has not yet been promulgated : FIRST CHARGE.—For disgraceful conduct, in having at Bombay, on or about the sth of August, 1851, embezzled and fraudulently misapplied the sum of 600 ra., being a part of the sum of 13,000 rs. en trusted to him by the presidency paymaster for the payment of the 6th Regiment Native Infantry, for the month of July, 1851. SECOND CHARGE.--For disgraceful conduct, in having at Bombay, on or about the 11th of August, 1851, wilfully and knowingly rendered to Lieutenant Jervis Harpur, the acting paymaster of the 6th Re giment Native Infantry, a false statement of his cash account from lot to 11th August, 1851, showing an advance of only 12,400 rs. as received in that period, whereas he had received from the presidency pay master on or about the sth day of August, 1851, an advance of 13,000 rs. THIRD CUARGE.—For disgraceful conduct, in having between the 9th of February, 1846, the date on which he assumed charge of the regimental pay office, and the 11th of August, 1851, embezzled and fraudulently misapplied the sum of 1724-14.9 rs., or thereabouts, being monies entrusted to him as regimental paymaster for military purposes. IVe observe in the columns of one of the local pa pers an intimation that the Guicowar of Baroda has suspended his Dewan ; but, with our contemporary, we fear it is too good news to be true. (From the Singapore Free Press of October 6.) The accounts from Labuan are encouraging as far as they go. The Eastern Archipelago Company are now raising a considerable quantity of coals monthly, although not so much as they might have been ex pected to do by this time. From Siam we continue to receive the most favour able accounts of the state of affairs there. By latest arrivals we learn that the King has given orders for a large addition to be forthwith made to the city of Bangkok. He has also established a printing press, at which works are to be produced in Siamese and English, for the enlightenment of his vuhjects. His Majesty has also directed a general revision of the laws of the kingdom, so tha t the y may be made as equitable as possible, and we understand be has ex pressed his firm intention that equal justice shall be dealt out to all alike, high and low, rich and poor. Our shipping news this month will be found to re cord the loss of several vessels, English and American in the waters of the Indian Archipelago. Among these are two American ships, one the clipper Mem non, bound to London, with 1,400 chests of teas on board, and the other the ship George Browne, from California, in ballast. The English barque Metro polis, wrecked on Bintang some weeks ago, was a lso a tea ship, havin g 5,000 chests on board, and bound for Halifax, in North America. The wreck has since been brought to Singapore bthe Hon. Company's steam an rorder of the A Hooghly, andsodlrdnibryi:lty Court. auctionfor 8,150 dolls., under Jaommet—The medium and finer qualities are some times asked for, the low , :x sorts are very dull.

CALCUTTA MARKETS, OCT. 7. (From the Calcutta Star.) MONEY MARKET.—Though all our subscribers and readers in this country are well aware that the past week or ten days have been a holiday, and that the date of our present issue falls in the midst of the idleness, as far as business is concerned, and the gaieties and festivities of our longest annual vacation, yet the circumstance may not readily occur to our home subscribers, and an India mail coming in without the usual copy of the Cal cutta Commercial Review might induce the conclusion that we had discontinued its publication, or some other surmise equally unfavourable. We take, therefore, these circumstances into consideration, and not wishing to risk the loss of the valuable support our paper enjoys, we have determined on issuing a few lines explanatory of the reasons of our not giving the usual comprehensive Summary of Commercial Intelligence. The fact is, we have nothing to report, and think we can hardly do better than extract from the commercial columns of the Calcutta Morning Chronicle of Saturday last, the 4th instant, what that paper gave for its usual weekly Commercial Report. The last mail from England has caused sumo little uneasiness here. In addition to the report of the failure of one mer cantile firm in London, whose name is given, it is reported that there are others, and that an extensive failure was reported for the amount of 500,0001. We have no failures here to report, but we greatly fear this happy inability on our part will not continue long. The holidays are drawing to their closP, and doubtless next mail hence will take out more disastrous intelli gence. During the vacation several arrivals have been announced, and it is teased that when business re-opens, the position of the import market will be found by no menus to have improved. We take from the Chronicle the following : " CALCUTTA, OCT. 4, 1851.—We can hardly be ex pected to give a report of the commercial doings of the week ; the 'period since our last report has been absorbed in complete inactivity as regards commercial matters, and the goddess Doorgah has engrossed the greatest share of the time, attention, and, as regards the natives, the means of commercial and non-commer cial people of this great city. The whole week has been absorbed in holidays—counting-houses have been closed, offices shut, and even the little peddling shops have had their locks to their gates. Calcutta is out of town, and the wheels of business have not been heard to creak. Holiday-making, holiday• taking, and holiday-enjoying have been the order of the day, although we must con fess we never remember circumstances being so unfa vourable to the full enjoyment of a holiday feeling. The mail of 25th August has come in, and the intelligence it conveys is far from satisfactory. Things have been gra dually becoming Worse, and now we learn the natural consequence, in the shape of failures and rumours of failures. We take the following from an evening con temporary, which gives a correct idea of the position and pros -p( eta of things when business was suspended this day week:— " Business closed on Saturday with a very gloomy aspect; portentous clouds had for some time before hung upon the commercial horizon, and the general expecte von was, that they would break in a deluge of mischief even before the commencement of the Doorgall Poojshs. Several wealthy natives in the Bazaar had suspended, and rumour began to be busy with the names of more ' than PLIO European house. The latest business hour however, closed without anything like a crash, and con jecture is left to busy itself with what the resumption mi of business on the 11 th instant is likel y to develo p °. " Some of our oldest merchants in Calcutta state they have never seen the markets so unsettled, disturbed, and unsatisfactory. " Accounts from the Indigo districts continue of a favourable tenor, and estimates are gradually rising. From all we have heard, we calculate the crop at 1,15,000 rods. We can hardly hold out prospects of good prices to our Indigo friends. That last year's figures will not be approached is the general impression. CHINA. (From the Overland Friend qf China, of Sept. 29.) The rebellion in the south of China has now been of such long duration, and the means of obtaining correct reports of its progress are so meagre, that we confess to being fairly tired at having to furnish, month after month, details of such a vague nature re garding it. We write on the subject, moreover, under a difficulty; for, whilst there are some who, having for a long time endeavoured to throw dis credit on the report, that there was any rebellion at all, are now desirous of making it appear that the long-continued troubles are simply the ravages of a band of freebooters, whose return to peaceful habits, together with that of their leader, the renowned Tien-teh, will eventually be purchased with appoint ments to office, and other emoluments, there are others who object to the reporting of any information of what is going on, on the simple ground that Chinese reporters are so generally untruthful that to publish anything they furnish is sheer folly. As we cannot fall in with the latter course (and there are perhaps very few of our readers who would wish us to do so) we exercise a continual endeavour to obtain every possible infor mation, selecting from the Mails those parts which bear the appearance of truth. Governor-General Seu is now at Kou-chan-fu, in the south-west of the Kang-tung province, from whence he has ordered out more troops, and a body of several hundreds of Tung-kwang district men passed up the Canton river on the 20th instant, bound to Lo-ting-chau, about a degree and a half north of Kou-chau, and immediately on the borders of Kweing-si. Kwei-lin-fu, the capital, the taking of which has been several times reported, is now supposed to be COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. indeed in the possession of the rebels.

Although during the month now ending it is known that there has been a considerable amount of turbu lent weather in our immediate vicinity, causing seve ral vessels to put in for repairs, we have not in Hong- ICong experienced anything particularly remarkable. On the 2 , .1 the wind, which for four days previously had been blowing from the north, sometimes veering a little to the east, at others from the west, catne on quite fresh from the last mentioned quarter (N.W.), the barometer from 29.51 (thermometer 83) descend ing at midnight to 29.42 (thermometer 82) the gale at about 10 P.M. blowing in furious gusts from the eastward, having come round by the north; it mode rated, however, the next morning at E.S.E. It blew fresh Nlio again on the Bth, on the 21st and 22 I, and the 26th instant, principally from the eastward. Al though rain has fallen on 18 days of the month (monthly average) it has not been in considerable quantities— say 6 inches only (t.alf the averige). Toe barometer has weaned a range of 29.70 (against 29 71) ; ther mometer 81.5 (against 83). The health of the troops in garrison is but indif ferent. Yesterday the number of sick amounted to 127, viz , of the 59th R-giment, 93 ; of the Ceylon Rifles, 17 ; and of the Ofdnance,l7 ; the prevailing disease among the Europeans being ague and bowel complaint. The former is doubtless induced by weak• ness after summer fever, the latter we.feat from the bad quality of the bread reported .as again being sup- plied by the commissariat contractor, all the good flour obtainable by Chinese having been exported from the colony to. meet the sudden demand for breadstuffs in New South Wales. Altogether there have been seven deaths since our last report, namely, four of the 59th Regiment (besides that of Dr. Powell), one . ot the Ceylon Rifles, and two gun lascars. This is just half the number of deaths in the month of September last year. Oa board the Minden there are abon 130 convalescents, those from fever being said to re cover rapidly. On the whole there is an improve ment in the general health as compared with that of last month, the average dally sick having been 103 only, against (in August) 123. Since the departure of the Malta on the 24th ult. Hong-Kong news mongers have been quite at a loss for something to talk and write about. The Peninsula and Oriental Steam Navigation Company's steam-ship Pekin ar rived with the mails on the 10th instant, bringing on reports of the debate on the estimates, which have furnished our local contemporaries with the means of filling up several columns with long leading articles in two successive issues, promising to run on into a third each. The Spanish brig Brilliante is reported to have been destroyed by pirates, off Linting, a n i s l an d within sight of vessels anchored in the western part of our harbour. The Brilliante left here on the 10th July, having, beside the mails from Europe, a large amount of specie on board. The Flash and Aurora, which left China on the same day as the Brilliante, both reached Manilla, after long passages, previous to the dispatch of the Auckland schooner Lightning, which came in on the 231 inst., reporting the Tiempo and Philomela as having left before her. The last mentioned vessel has not yet arrived. NAVAL.—Admiral Moresby smbarked yesterday morning at ten o'clock A.M. He was accompanied to his gig by her Britannic Majesty's Consul-General, the Kuhina Nui, and the King's Ministers, Mr. Judd and Mr. Wyllie. The frigate proceeded to sea at twelve o'clock, bound to Valparaiso. The gallant Admiral and his officers have left a most favourable impression upon all classes in this community. CASUALTIES IN CIIINA.—Died, at Woosung, on the 11th ult., Mr. J. Bidder, second officer of the ship Folkstone ; at Victoria, Hong-Kong, on the 22d ult., Captain Wm. Treacy, commander of the British ship Lord Hardinge ; at Victoria, Hong-Kong, on the 31st ult., Mr. Eliezer Rodgers, second officer of the barque Antelope ; at Shanghae, Stephen Elliott, in fant son of the Right Rev. Dr. Boone. aged 19 months and 23 days ; at Macao, on the .2d instant, the Rev. John Barton, M.A., British chaplain, Can ton ; at Victoria, Hong-Kong, on the 9th inst., George Wm. Powell, Esq., M.D., of her Majesty's 59th Regiment, for several years past on the military medical staff in this garrison. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CANTON.—Business during the month has again been more than ordinarily brisk, sales of manufactured goods having been effected at irnprovei rates, and purchases of tea and other produce (which have been shipped freely), on what are considered easy terms. A peculiar feature as regards the tea market is the excess of this season's shipments over the amount shipped at same period last year, being from Canton alone 1,700,000 lbs, extra. SHANGHAE.—This mail will take home the market re ports of two months. Eleven days of strong-southerly winds kept the Island Qacen cut of part with the Shang baa mails until tho day after the Malta left. Business appears to have been pretty go)d there throughout the whole of the long period, prices for imparts, however, being generally lower than former quotations. Excess of tea shipments over last year, at same period, 4,600,0001b5. AmoY.—Thera has been a fair demand for manufse- Aires at quotations named. Exchange, Canton—Oriental Bank commenced draw ing nominally at 4 Bi, but this rate, as might have beets expented from the continued high rates ruling at Shang hae, and (ha large operations in :produce here, soon ran up to 4 11 and 4 11i for clean credits, at six months' sight, and to 4 10i and 411 for short sight.

AR - H'S RANGEMENTS for KOSSUT DEPARTURE FOR AMERICA. The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company have placed one of their splendid steamers at the service of Kossuth, to convey him down South ampton Water to emable him to embark on board the O.ean steamer llumboldt in Cowes Reads. Kossuth is expected at Southampton a t t en o ' c l oc k on Thurs day morning. lie will pr ocee d f rom th e railway station to the residence of the American Consul, J. R. Croskey, Esq. After a short stay at the American consulate, the illustrious Magyar will proceed to the docks, and embark on board the steamer placed at his disposal, where a splendid defamer will be provided for him and his friends, which will be partaken of while the vessel is proceeding down Southampton Water. Other steamers will run from Southampton. to Cowes in the middle of the day on Thursday, to convey persons to see the Hungarian patriot embark on board the Humboldt. The scene and proceedings in the Southampton Docks on Thurs day will be most interesting and exciting, owing to the great concourse of persons which is likely to be assembled there, a concourse which, it is expected, will not be inferior in magnitude to that which greeted Kossuth when he arrived in this coml. try. At the same time that Kossuth will leave the docks the Bentinck steamer will leave the same spot with the Indian Mail. Captain hillock, the com mander of the Bentinck, which is one of the largest steamers belonging to the Peninsular and Oriental Company, would have conveyed Kossuth to Cowes, but owing to the immense number of passengers for India she will have on board, she would be unable to accommodate the large number of friends who are anxious to accompany the Magyar hero, to see him safely on board the Ilumbolt. Immense preparations are making at Southampton to celebrate the departure of Kossuth from Englan d on his mission to the United States. The corporation of Southampton meet to day to make arrangements to conduct those prepara tions, and to give them official sanction and guidance. The Mayor of Southampton has returned from Lon don, and is indefatigable in devising measures calcu lated to render the reception of Kossuth in Southamp ton on the day of his departure of the most cordial and splendid description. SHAKSPERE AND KOSSUTH, TO THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY NEWS. Sir,—lt is written in the brief history made known to us of Kossuth, that in a n Austrian prison he was taught English by the words of the teacher Shaks pere. An Englishman's blood glows with the th o u g ht that, from the quiver of the immortal Saxon, Kossuth has furnished himself with those arrowy words that kindle as they fly—words that are weapons; as Austria will know. Would it not be a graceful tribute to the genius of the man who has stirred our nation's heart, to pre sent to him a copy of Shakspere ? To do this, I would propose a penny subscription. The large amount of money obtained by these means, the cost of the work itself being small, might be expended on the binding of the volumes, and on a casket to con tain them. There are hundreds of thousands of Englishmen who would rejoice thus to endeavour to manifest their gratitude to Kossuth for the glorious words he has uttered among us, words that have been as pulses to the nation. I remain, your obedient servant, DOUGLAS JERROLD. West Lodge, Putney-common, Nov. 17. The sum of 2,300/. has already been subscribed towards the intended Sailors' Homo at Glasgow, but at Wig time tines that amount will be required. NOVEMBER 18, 18b1. a quotation, we shall abstain from so doing on the reflection that it would not be altogether unlike that scholasticcs, who brought a brick as a sample of his linu9e, accordin g t o t h e account f am i s h e d i n t h e witticism of Ilkroelcs. TilE COMIC J'!IAN.-lr'K for 1852. By George Cruikshank. David Bogue. Blootnerism pourtrayed by Cruikshank! Surely that of itself is a sufficient attraction towards the Comic Almanack. Such a frontispiece as it is—so excruciatin g ly l u di crous in its sketches of the new costume—after this Bloomeristn cannot possibly delay plunging, pettiloons, petticoats, and ull, into that receptacle for defunct rubbish hi , ht by him whom M r . P eacock invariably calls the Swan of Avon, " the tomb of all ths Capulets." n Nothing more truly lau g h a bl e i n referee to this fi an t as ti c pencil of John Leech, the ine - scheme of the American Jonasbaness has appeared-- no, not even from the haustible. Tenniel's sketches in Punch uon th r e subject have been droll enough, even the littlil:draw ings by On a hyn have not been undeserving of the title of meritorious —but next this colossal caricature from the hand of our rare George Cruikshank, they dwindle into insignificance. Then the accompanying illustrations—" Turning the Tables !" Preposterously humorous as our caricaturist has long since proved himself to be, his artistic fun has never, we fancy, been carried to such a delightfully outré extravagance. Rinc7 a picture of " A Scene i n the Zaolagical Gardens at Oarang-Outang Town," with a wild man, catiOt and inspscted by the " natives"—and this by Cruikshank ! Fancy " Ad vice to Persons about to Marry—Try—Cheap Furni ture"—the bride and bridegroom tumbling from chairs afflicted with the rickets, the mirrors dropping from their frames, the table breaking its back under the weight of dinner, the library dangling shelf from shelf, and all this by Cruikshank ! Fancy the anti cipations of the golden age of costermongering repre sented by a well-fed specimen of the class selling per riwinkles at a guinea a pint, and followed by a couple of gorgeously liveried flunkies—and this too by Cruikshank ! Fancy John Bull inundated by over flowing supplies of water, with the spectacled old gen tleman peeping down the hose of the Government scheme, which, notwithstanding its magnitude, ap pears to be as dry as th e c h anne l o f th e Niger—and this again by Cruikshank 1 Fancy—but no, you can never fancy it—the embellishment in which the same master band depicts a new field for military occupation—a cornfield being reaped by a regiment —men storming the harvest -cart with uplifted sheafs —others charging the stocks with pitchforks—and the commanding officer superintending the agricultural movement of his men in the distance. The grace, and beauty, and wit, of the whole engraving is this, that viewed at a little distance it has all the animated effect of a battle-field, and when examined closely has all the charm of an unexpected pastoral. The Peace Society should bestow a gold medal on the artist, and should have the sketch prefixed to every one of its printed documents. Another glorious etching is the one revealing to us the ovation of the new French President—M. Jullien ! His principal banner in its inscription running delightfully thus—" Liberte! Egalite! Fraterniti—Fiddlededee !" Hine—H. G. Hine—whose little miniature, full-length silhouettes seem to us to be the idealization of those atmospheric " blacks," which are the plague of the London laun dress —comes upon us again with a perfect shower of these grotesque comicalities. His illustrated record of the perilous ascent of Jung Frau is a thing to be remembered. The impossible jumps from precipice to precipice, the utterly impracticable methods of clambering up to the top of a frozen ca taract, and of dancing on the quivering accumula tion of an impending avalanche, the gambols, and frisks, and other saltatory proceedings equally ab surd under the circumstances, will prove, we fancy, a source of genial and resistless laughter. The lite rary portion of the Comic Almanack for 1852 is ge nerally understood to have beeen entrusted this year to Angus B. Reach and Shirley Brooks—either of them "a host in himself," but together well qualified to tread in the footsteps of dear Tom Hood, the ori ginal projector of this wonderful kind of melange for fascetiousness. A better number of the Comic Al manack has seldom appeared, and certainly not within several years bygone. Not the least among its at tractions is the circumstance that it brings to us once more, in unabated vigour and drollery, our matchless and immortal Cruikshank. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, Nov. 17. The Queen walked in the Home Park and Slopes this morning. The Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, and younger members of the Royal Family, took their accustomed pony and walking exercises. His Royal Highness Prince Albert went out shoot ing this morning, attended by the Earl of Listowel, "Major- General Berkeley Drummond, Colonel the Hon. Charles Grey, and Colonel F. H. Seymour. Mr. Frederick Peel is expected at the Castle to day, on a visit to her Majesty. A deputation, consisting of Sir Charles Fox, Mr. Thomas Brassey, Mr. Edmund Leahy. and Mr. Mathew Leahy, had an interview with Viscount Pal merston on Friday, at the. Foreign-office. Mr. William Lock had an interview with Lord John Russell yesterday, at his official residence in Downing.street. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. MALTA, Nov. 11.—The Caradoo packet has broken down, and will require a long time to be put in repair. Her patent floats have been much da maged. The probability of such an accident hap pening to them were foreseen ere she left England, but no effective measures of precaution seem to have been used. The crew of the Caradoc has been turned over to the Ardent, which steamer has been a long time past lying up in ordinary. The Banshee carries on the portion of the Indian mail sent through France. The Medusa will carry forward the outward India mail, expected by the Medina on the 14th inst. The Tagus (Peninsular and Oriental Company) arrived this morning, and leaves immediately tor Constantinople. Nor. 12.—A garrison court-martial assembled a few days ago to try two men, Thomas Lumby and Richard Griffiths, of the Royal Sappers, for desertion. They escaped to Sicily some time since, but, after a short holiday, they got tired of the life of inactivity they were leading, and voluntarily giving themselves up at Naples, went back to Malta. The prisoners were found guilty, and sentenced each to be branded with the letter 11, and to undergo a period of three months' imprisonment. The men were of good character. The Pottinger has just been telegraphed. She is overdue. She was reported in sight yesterday when I commenced my letter. The Banshee carries on the mail to Marseilles, that portion at least which is sent through France. Orders have been issued both by the civil and mi litary authorities to pay every honour to Colonel Sir W. Reid on his arrival. lie is expected here to morrow. APPOINTMENTS. WooLwica, Nov. 17.—Second Master Thomas A. Hall (1851) to the Hastings, 72, flag-ship, on the East Indies station. Clerk J. B. M'Avoy (1851) to the Hastings. Master's Assistant H. Goldsmith to the Rapid, 8, brig, at Portsmouth. NAVIGATION OF THE MEDINA.—The Town Coun cil of Newport are about to take measures for carrying into effect the improvement of this river, and Mr.llamilton Ful ton, the engiheer, has been requested to attend the Town Council to explain all matters relative to the subject. 'fho decision on the Norwich case, so frequently referred to at the last meeting of the Town Council, has been given against the Corporation of that city, the judges having decided that the Council has no right to expend any portion of its funds in making application for Acts of Parliament to improve the navigation of the river. This being the case, the inhabitants of Newport have entered into private subscriptions in or der to defray the expenses of an appli ca ti on to P arliament for an Act in the Melting session.

The body of the deceased was found on the rails presenting a shocking appearance. The body was literally torn to pieces. not a single portion being free from injury. It is supposed that the deceased had lain down on the railway and fallen asleep. The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death." One of the jury it appeared had, not long ago, had a miraculous escape from death under similar circumstances, lie had lain down between the lines and fallen asleep with his right arm across one of the rails.

POSTAL ARRANGEMENTS AT LEEDS.—On Saul , day last Mr. Rowland Hill, secretary to the General Post office, and Mr. J. W. Godby, surveyor for the Leeds district, bad an interview with the mayor and a deputation from the Leeds Chamber of Commerce, at Leeds, on the subject of in creased postal arrangements and facilities between Leeds and London. This meeting was appointed at the instance of the Leeds Chamber of Commerce, who are de • sirens of ob taining an earlier delivery of letters in the afternoon. A long conference took place, and a f avourable result is looked for. LITERATURE TALES AND TRADITIONS OF IIUNGARY. 3 Vole. By Francis and Theresa Pulszky. Col burn and Co. Under any circumstances these volumes could not but prove singularly attractive. At present, how ever, they will be welcomed with especial cordiality. The reader will bear in recollection not merely the fact that Francis Pulszky is still resident in our me tropolis, but that England is enjoying the privilege, more wer, of receiving with all hospitality the illus trious man who deputed him to this country some three years since, as the Hungarian Ambassador. It was scarcely possible for an intimate personal friend of Louis Kossuth, and for one who was also his political associate during the great war of inde penllnce, to pass altogether free from sharing in the calu:nnies directed against the distinguished leader of his compatriots. Francis Pulszky has therefore par ticipated of late, and that somewhat, largely, in the odium (if as such it can be regards ) of the vitupera tions iodulged in towards the chitnpions of the Magyar race by the apologists of continental absolu - ism. As an evidence of the flimsy pretexts upon which those slanderous aspersions have been raised, it is only necessary to observe that Polszky 1138 been assailed of la'e with very considerable violence, simply because of the manner in which he was cur sorily mentioned the other day in a newspaper para graph. 11...quarking that the writer of thit p graph spoke , of our author as Cou-)t Francis Pul-e:7, the assailants of the cause of Rungary alluded to that unotnading gentleman in [truss of the mast scurrilous description, as a pretender to a rank alto gether suppositious. It would seem that these writers are wholly ignorant of a fact sufficiently notorious to the rest of the educated community, that throughout Hungary almost every gentleman is a member of the national aristocracy. Supposing even that Francis Pulszky came not in any way under this category, and that his designation as Count was en tirely incorrect, it would assuredly be somewhat unfair to speak of him derisively as an upstart, assuming to himself an unmerited dignity, purely because of a blunder on the part of a misinformed penny-a-liner. Whether the work before us is from the hand of Count Francis Pulszky or from that of Mr. Francis Pulszky, it is manifestly the effusion of a patriot, a scholar, and a gentleman. As such it is welcome to us, more peculiarly when it is remembered that the three volumes under con sideration afford those who may have been previously unacquainted with the subject some accurate notion of the peculiarities of life and manners among the heroic and betrayed Hungarians. In his literary labours, as compiler, adapter, or translator, Francis Pulszky has been admirably aided by his accom plished wife, Theresa Pulszky, and the result of their labour has been the production of a work eminently calculated to afford at one and the same time a con siderable amount both of instruction and entertain ment. In the first volumes are collected together no less than twenty of the shorter " Tales and Tra ditions" relating to Hungary, the second and third being dedicated to the story of the " Jacobins in Hungary." Our authors have very gracefully in scribed the former, or the miscellaneous portion of them, to Sydney, Lady Morgan, and the latter to Professor Francis W. Newman, as some expression of their sentiments of friendship. According to an inge nious expression contained in the " Introduction," it may with truth be said that " the poetical genius of a people is expressed in its traditions." What the nature of the poetical genius of the Hungarians really is, may therefore be recognised with no inconsider able facility from the pages here submitted to our criticism; and the publication before us will conse quently be singularly acceptable to those who may not have had the opportunity of perusing ere this the specimens of " Magyar poetry" given to the world in an English version some years since by the present Consular-General for the British empire among the Chinese. To quote yet once more from the " In troduction" to the volumes lying at this moment on our desk, " the analytical understanding de velopes itself only in the riper age of men and nations ; their childhood is governed by imaginations." And in regard:to Hungary, as these traditions " are the artificial tokens of the riches or the poverty of its imagination"—they will be received by the more reflective readers with delight as eluci dative of the character of the Magyar race in its in fancy. They will be found to comprise within them, like most other national traditions, very significant hints indeed in reference to the early poetry, as well as to the philosophic and mythological predilections prevalent long centuries back among the masses of the Hungarians. From an examination of the pre sent remarkable work from the hands of Francis and Theresa Pulszky, it will be perceived that through its contents new testimonies are afforded of the correct ness of the assertion first advanced by the Ger man brothers Gramm, that " many popular tales and proverbs are fragments of ancient mythology," demonstrating while so doing the remarkable fact that the worship of Wodin, Thor, Friga, &c., once extended as - far as the Teutonic languages are spread," as may be detected by reference to the Slovak tradition of the Robber " Yanoshik." Among the narratives given in the present collection will be found not merely several relating to particular localities, but others generally familiar to the entire population, such for example us those about " Poor Tartar" and "Pan Twar dowtky." Added to these we have three legendary tales valuable - in another particular, as showing three separate and distinct phases of Hungarian life during the middle ages. First, there is "The Baron's Daughter," revealing the contrast of the haughty landed proprietor, scorning to receive territorial pos sessions as fief from the Sovereign. Secondly, we have " The Castle of Zipsen," pourtraying the struggle between the knights and the burghers, or, as we should express in modern phrases 4 between the aristocracy and the bourgeoise. Thirdly, we have in the tale already men ti one d , namely, that of " Yanoshik," an aeceunt of the man ner in which a robber appeared as the avenger of social injustice, just as among our se l ves we h ave the same notion exemplified in the history of Robin Hood and his merry men of Sher woo d. O ne of our lady novelists contributed only last season to the readers of romance an entertaining fiction, in which she en deavoured to illustrate the old adage of " many a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip." Yet further illustrations have here come to us from the remote provinces of Hungary in the German story of " The Free Shop," and again in the Slovak story of "The Golden Cross of KiirWrci." Besides the tales relating more particu larly to the Hungarian people themselfes, the volumes before us contain some referring to other races of man kind essentially different in oharacter—the introduc tion of which, while partaking somewhat of the blemish of an anachronism, is still agreeable as lend ing the charm of variety to the compositions. In this way we doubt not that the "Guardians" will be read with interest, though referring to Judea rather than to Hungary, "Anabid," though it relates to Persia, and " The Men of Ranshenbach," though it traces its origin to the Carpathian valleys. Various other narratires, some of them of the strongest fascination, will be found to adorn the present volumes, " The Jacobins of Hungary" being more pretentious in its character than the majority of the tales and traditions collected together in the pre sent publication. We must, before closing our notice, transcribe the apologetic sentence in which our authors close their brief but excellent introduction. They remark that "the popular tale is deprived of its natural brilliancy and vigour when repeated far from the country to which it belongs, as the butterfly which gleefully flutters around the flowers on which he at last rests, opening and closing his wings with slow cadence, is no longer the same when pinned and cased up under the glass of a cabinet, or as the flower itself, pressed between the leaves of a herbarian loses its original colour and fragrance." After that very graceful re ference to what may be regarded as deficiencies in the work under notice, it would be very ungenerous to object in any manner to some of the stories here re lated to us, on the score that they are beyond the reach of oar sympathies. While some of them may be open to this objection, the majority are such as must necessarily be perused with interest by those thousands amongst us who view with feelings of hope and admiration the heroic and generous-hearted citizens of Hungary. THE APHORISMS OF NAPOLEON. Trans lated by J. A. Manning. Ackermann and Co. A new collated edition of the celebrated , ilocum . ent, entitled " Les Aphori smes d e N a p o le on , , sayings collected together from many scattered sources, each and all of them remar k a bl e f or their au thenticity, must be an agreeable announcement at all times to the intelligent student of modern history. Just now its i n t e r es t m u st necessarily be enhanced by the consideration that, before long, a struggle will be commenced in France, the result of which may not improbably be, the restoration of the Napoleonian dynasty. Speaking of the position in s hich the heir to the glories of the second Sesostris is to he regarded throughout Christendom, even in his simple dignity as Republican President, the com piler of the pamphlet here issued, in the gaudy trap pings of the tricolour, observes, " It will never he for gotten by those who happil y part i c i pated in the bril liant and magnificent fetes of Pari s , th at the President, whose urbanity, kindness, and courty, were the thence of such just and uni versa l praise, is the nephew and heir of the mighty Emper or , w h ose moral, political, and philosophical thoughts are f a i thfully recorded in this little volume." Those, ho v s rn ry judiciously - arks,may be viewed as affording the key by which the mysteries of Napol eon ' s mind aril actions may be un locked. They are arranged in the present edition In parallel columns, giving them both in the original and in the English translation—numbering in all no less than six hundred and fifteen paragraphs. Tempted though we are to indulge ourselves with SPORTING NOTES. CLVIII. WARWICK AND LEAMINGTON AUTUMNAL MEETING. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
