THE S N, OVERLAND MAIL INDIA. We have received by express our dispatches in anti cipation of the overland mail from India. The dates are, Bombay, October 3 ; Calcutta, September 20. Our Bombay correspondent writes : BOMBAY, OCT. 3. The principal item of news for the past fortnight is the reported determination of the Governor- General to seize on a portion of the territory of the Ameer Post Mahomed, of Caubul—it being well situated for establishing a post to watch and overawe the Afreedees, Wureerees, &c., around: Peshawur. The rumour emanates from the Delhi Gazette, who doss not write as one without authority on the matter. Ile says — "News of the gravest import has reached us from tho north-west. In itself, perhaps, it is not much, but iu the consequences that may ensue, even a dimly prophetic eye may discern further conquests, it may be, further disasters. if our rea d e rs will glance at the map belonging to Major Edwardes' Year on the Punjaub Frontier,' they will see the valley of Dour conspicuously marked beyond the mountain range that forms the western boundary of the district of the Wuzeerees. This valley lies within the territories of Dost Mahomed. This valley has been annexed. We know not if the Ameer has consented to this arrangement. We know not if he has been even consulted on the subject. Its annexation has been pronounced expedient, and it is annexed accordingly. As soon as the troops can be moved—for sickness stands in no awe of discipline — possession will be formally taken of the district, and a strong outpost probably established at the bead of the Koorum river, so as to command the supply of water to the Bunnoo valleys.; Setting aside the moral —or rather the immoral—view of the question, there can be no doubt as to the desirable nature of the ac quisition. It lies exactly in the rear of the Wuzeerees, the Afreedees, and the other hill tribes, who can only be brought under a wholesome degree of restraint by main force. They are too insolent, too ignorant, too confident in the natural advantages of their position, to learn from the experience of their neighbours. Thus again are we irresistibly driven on in our career of conquest ; to pause is to retrograde ; to prevent aggression we must ourselves become the assailants; and preaching peace, Christianity, and mutual for bearance, we are compelled to exterminate all who oppose our progress or molest our present position. " It is easy enough to appropriate any portion of any territory on which we choose to set our desires, and say we are compelled to follow our destiny—the diffi culty lies in maintaining it afterwards. This same valley of Dour will not be long in our occupation in peace. Already has Dost Mahomed collected a large force at Caubul for service below the Khyber, and paid the Khy berries to allow him free passage through the defiles. Next year will probably again see the flames of war lighted on our frontier, to extinguish which probably thousands of lives and millions of money will require to be sacrificed. One of thu hitherto greatest opposers of annexation in any shape or under any plea, the Bombay Times, nowjells us that Dost Mabemed deserves no mercy ago our hands thereby meaning, of course, that the apppriation of Lis territory is all quite just and correct. " The sickness formerly mentioned as prevalent throughout the Punjaub continues as virulent as ever, and numbers of deaths were occurring at every sta tion, more particularly the capital. At Wuzeerabad the strength of the European troops (3d Dragoons, 10th and 24th Foot) was 2,075, of whom 250 were sick. At Sealcote, out of 372 there were 43 in hospital. At Lahore the strength was 7.500, of whom 1,600 were on the doctor's books. At Moultan and Peshawur matters were gloomy and disheartening, but an appearance of some abatement was perceptible. At Leia all the European officers (Captain Ross, Captain Hollings, Lieutenant WNeile, and Mr. Henderson, C.S.) were suffering—especially the first and last. Coming down the Indus, we learn that Sukkur and Shikarpore were still extremely un healthy. At Hyderabad, her Majesty's 64th were losing numbers of men, women, and children. As sistant-Surgeon Shortt had also fallen a victim to the prevailing fever—and it was feared the fate of the Highlanders would overtake the wing if not speedily removed from the station. Although Kurrachee is not exactly as healthy , as is its wont, still it has little to complain of. Mr. Frere, the Commissioner, seems to be generally well liked ; he is mentioned as fre quently entertaining the society of the place at Government House, and thus doing his best to keep them in good humour with themselves and those around them, and therein he shows a good deal of sense. The people of Kurrachee are actually begin ning to talk of a railroad to Gharra, and this while such a thing as a good cart road from one station to another is never thought of. " The Nizam's affairs are again being canvassed by the journals; he is said to have co ntributed 60,0001. as a loan to his minister of the 400,0001. paid to our resident, and to be now dunning the unfortunate offi cial for its repayment, as if the debt were not his own. The country is overrun with mercenary troops kept up by him for the purpose of awing the unfortunate cultivators and others into payingtany demands, how ever exorbitant, made upon them. "„Colonel, or Gen. Steinbach, returns home by this evening's steamer, having resigned the service of the Ceshinere ruler for good and all. He has, it is be lieved, accumulated what will keep his nose from freezing during the remainder of his days, even were he to settle at the North Pole. The only intelligence recently received from Cashmere is to the effect that the Maharaja was still very unwell, and thae fort of Chelas still held out against his troops as stoutly as ever—that succour for the besieged was on the way from Gilghit, and that it was expected the besiegers would have to retire from before the fort. "bl. Mansel, of the Lahore Board of Administration, is to be Resident at Nagpore, to which Major Du • rand has been temporarily appointed. Sir R. Shake speare had gone a considerable way on route to Joudpore to take up his new and inferior appointment, when he was overtaken by an express from t he Governor-General directing✓ him to return to Gwalior. I presume from this that the Gallant Knight's spon taneous and noble conduct in publicly acknowledging his error and apologising to Captain Close has induced Lord Dalhousie to cancel the punishment inflicted on him fur his conduct towards that officer. Something serious is said to have occurred in the Gwalior Lush kur, in which the Maharaja is reported to be impli cated. Treachery and intrigue of course against us must have been discovered; but that is nothing un usual. The artillery portion of the King of Oude's army has mutinied—arrears of wages being the cause. The sooner this puppet of a king, with his brother puppet of Hyderabad, are pensioned, the better for their subjects, and probably for our selves also.—The manner in which the trial of Jotee Persaud was conducted has, it is believed, brought forth a heavy rebuke from the Court of Directors, and one member of the military board in particular, said to be Colonel Mactier, has come in for a large share of the displeasure. Sir R. Barlow, of the Calcutta Adawhut, has been deputed as a special commissioner to Agra, to inquire into and pre pare a report on the subject, for transmission home to the Court.—The ship Lascar, Captain Errington, from Hull to Calcutta, with coals, &c., was wrecked near Sangor, on the 17th ult. ; all hands md a s i av , e b d ou b n u d t t wo seamen.--The American ship Saxon for Aden with coals, was wrecked in the Mozambique on the August.—Lord Falklaud and Sir John Grey have gone to Mahabuleshwany—they will, it is said, be in Bombay by the Bth pros.—Captain C.

A magnificent meteor fell at Calcutta on the night of the 19th. —The salt department is to be placed under charge of the Collector of Customs at the presidency. Trade has been exceedingly dull in exports, owing to bad markets at home and the high prices asked by dealers for their cotton. " P.S.—The papers recei ved this morning supply the 'following items :—Mr. 11. H. Bell, indigo planter, died at Agra on the 21st ult. A public dinner is to be given at Madras to Sir G. H. Berkeley, Com ruander-in-Chief, previous to his departure, as a mark of respect from society. The Madras Sepoys who fled from before the Moplahs are to be tried by general court-martial. Brevet Captain Gordon, 59th Bengal N. 1., is being tried at For t William. A floating light on the North Sand, is the Straits of Malarea, has been sanctioned.

BONBIY, OCT. 2.—The Overland Mail of the 25th August came to hand en the afternoon of the 21st ult. The arrivals from the west have been the John O'Gaunt and the Windermere from Liverpool. The depressed state of our import market which has prevailed since the opening of the season has been ma terially added to during the last fortnight, while on the other hand the high price at which our chief export is held completely puts a stop to business in it for the home markets, so that our trade with Great Britain is at pregent in a most unsatisfactory state. Money con tinues to be abundant and cheap, but there is very little employment for it. On the 15th instant, the "Dewallee Festival" com mences, and there will be little business done from this time until its termination, which occurs on the 26th instant. Cotton Piece Goods—ln these a considerable amount of business has been done, taking the state of the mar kets into consideration. The descriptions principally asked for have been grey goods, coarse and heavy do mestics; T cloth of 61b. weight and upwards, and 46 in. 33 yards long cloth, and of other kinds any sales that have been made have been forced, so that prices have suffered a further decline. The price of shirtings, mad dapolams, jacconets and light T cloth are again more in favour of buyers. In bleached goods every thing is dull and neglected, with the exception of jacconet frum a medium quality upwards, and satin spots which arc in slight request. Turkey and dyed goods are in much the same state as when our last report was written. Turkey red plain cloth has fallen, however, 25 in. 28 yds. best Manchester dye having been parted with at the very low rate of Rs. 7i per piece. Cotton Yarn—The supply has been somewhat large, and as a continued anxiety to sell has been displayed on the part of importers, prices both of mule and water are below our last quotations. Woollens—No inquiry as yet exists. Not a single transaction has come to our knowledge, and we believe that none has taken place. Metals—With a single exception, all descriptions have been quite neglected during the past fortnight, and prices show an inclination to fall. The exception is Swedish steel, which enjoys an inquiry sufficient to support its value. Cochineal—A slight inquiry exists for best quality, but it has not led to a rise in price ; not any sales that we have heard of. Saffron—A supply of this has arrived, and the price bas given way ; 4001bs. of good quality having sold at Rs. 19 per lb. Beer—Allsopp is selling at Rs. 60. Bass is still held for Rs. 65 to 70, at which rate we have heard of 30 hhds. having been purchased. Of other brands 50 hhds. Tennent's, with 25 Mids. porter by same maker, 50 hhds. Younger, a and 30 hhds. Scarcell Brewery have all sold at Rs. 35 per hhd. Spirits—There is still a demand for brandy in wood, hut in bottle dull. Gin rin both wood and bottle is also dull. Wine—We hear of the following sale ;-3 hhds. and 6 quarter casks gold, brown, and pale sherry per hhd. of 130 gallons, Rs. 275. Marine Stores—Canvas, cordage, and paint, are sometimes asked for, as linseed oil is also, but spirits of turpentine and sewing twine are dull. Sundries —Empty bottles are scarce and in demand. Cotton Wool—The news from China by the last oppor tunity were, contrary to what was generally looked for, favourable for this staple, and have given a decided im petus to buyers for that market, large purchases having been made since the last accounts reached us. Prices are well supported and rather incline to go in favour of se llers ; under such circumstances purchases for the " Home Markets" are of course nearly suspended, some small quantities are in course cf shipment on native ac count. Sheep's Wool—Fresh supplies are now arriving from Sinde and elsewhere, and the native shippers for the English market are paying high prices. Opium—At present holders are firm. Small purchases are being made at our quotations for the next steamer hence. New drug will be making its appearance among us about the middle of the next month. Tonnage—Freight to Great Britain is scarce, but as the tonnage which offers is not great, rates to London are supported at 21. 10s. per ton for gums, &c., and 21. ss. to Liverpool for cotton. At these rates several en gagements have been made. To China, on the other hand, a good deal is offering, and the rate has advanced to Rs. 16 to Rs. 16i per Candy, at which it is firmly maintained. A small opium clipper has just been taken up for cotton at Rs. 17i per Candy. EXCHANGE.—The rise which had commenced at the date of our last report on the rate on London continued until the eve of the arrival of the China mail. Bills from Calcutta being brought into the market daily, at which time it had reached 2s. Old. for six months' sight bills on the spot, and transactions "to arrive" were done at 2s. op. at 25-01 d. per rs., but owing to a much smaller amount of remittances having been received than was generally expected, owing it appears to a want of late advices from Shanghai, the rate took an immediate turn downwards, and soon reached Is. 'lid., at which it re mained for a day or two, when it began to rise again, and has since gradually advanced to 2s. Op. to 2s. O'd. per rupee at 'mix months' sight, and at which it has been pretty steady for some days past. On Calcutta the rate is 100} per 100, and on China 221 at 222 per 100 dolls., 60 days' sight.

The Royal dinner party last evening included her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, the Lady in Waiting to her Royal Highness, the Baroness de Speth, the Earl and Countess of Shaftesbury, Colonel the Hon. Charles and Mrs. Grey, Colonel Sir W. Reid, R.E„ and the Rev. Mr. Canning. The band of the Grenadier Guards was in attend ance at the Castle, and performed during dinner.

The Royal Commissioners have, we understand, voted a sum of 2,7001. for the police force employed in the Crystal Palace. Mr. Pearce, the superintend ent, receives 3001., the inspectors 1501. each, and the serg eants and men a handsome g ty, cording to their proportions of pay , while 5001. goes to the police fund. This fund must now be considerable in amount, and the public would like to have some information about it. Shortly after the Chartist demonstrations of April, 1848, a sum of nearly 1,700/. was raised by subscription to reward the services oof f the force during that trying per iod. A portion this was distributed among the men at the time, and the rest has, we suppose, been invested in the funds, in ac cordance with the provisions of the Metropolitan Po lice Act. How the matter stands we are unable at present to say, but the Secretary of State for the Home Department, having his attention directed to the subject by the liberality of the Royal Commission, and being charged with the responsibility, may per haps be induced to inquire. The officers of Engineers at the Crystal Palace, following the example of their chief, Sir William Reid, have declined the pecuniary remuneration oanff greatd off e red re has themmilitarythere fore,thee tiquette ßoyal inadequately Commission.Theirservicesrefer encead- vantage. instancewh o fulfilled zealously, and with much ability, some of the mos t important duties connected with the Executive.

THE CONSERVANCY OF THE 'IRAMES. Upon the motion of Mr. John Wood (the chairman of the consolidated committee) a report, recommend ing that notice be given of an application to Parlia ment in the next session for a Bill relating to the conservancy, was agreed to. THE METROPOLITAN COMMISSION OF SEWERS. The following gentlemen were re-appointed as corn missioners on the Metropolitan Commission of Sewers: —Mr. Alderman Lawrence, Mr. Deputy Peacock, and Mr. Henry Lowman Taylor. COAL DUTIES. The Chamberlain handed in a return in confor mity with the following order of the Court :—" That a return be made to this Court of an account of all the moneys which have been raised for public works exe cuted, buildings erected, or street improvements effected, out of the coal duties receivable by the Cor poration of London is the character of trustees for administration or otherwise, since the same were made chargeable by Parliament for such purposes in the year 11T66, distinguishing such works, &c., as are situated in Cthe city of London, such as are altogether without the City, and such as partake of a mixed cha racter being for the benefit of the City as well as of the adjoining districts ; stating also the public bodies or the persons entrusted by Parliament with the ex ecution of such works and improvements, and for what period the dues are mortgaged for such purpose s. " Mr. DAYIN said—The return which has just been presented in accordance with the order of the Court, I intend to move be printed and a copy sent to every member, if the Court will allow me now to bring on a motion which stands upon the paper of business — namely, " That it be referred to the improvement committee to direct the City's architect to prepare a plan of London on such scale as shall be most conve nient, showing the respective public works, buildings, or improvements effected out of the coal duties, as stated in a return to this Honourable Court, ordered 23d October, 1851, and that the same be lithographed, and a copy accompanied by such return be sent to every member of this Court," and agree therewith. The two documents which I think so very useful for the information of the Court are calculated to remove much misapprehension which exists in the public mind as to the expenditure of the coal duties which have been received by the Corporation of London in the character of trustees. It has been stated in the House of Commons that if no other reason could be given for interfering with the functions of this Court, a sufficient one would be found in the mode in which the large revenue derived from the coal duties had been employed, and more recently we have been charged with the misuse of the large sum of 172,0001. per annum, without any adequate public improvements to show for it ; and an inference has been drawn that jobbery and corruption exist amongst us. I have been a member of this Court for some years, and I know how carefully the rules and orders are drawn which completely pre vent any member from deriving any the slighest ad vantage from his position, supposing he had the de sire. —(hear, hear.) I know, too, that highly paid as are some of our officers, considering the important and onerous duties they have to perform, their emo lument does not exceed that which first-class men in their various professions earn.—(Hear, hear.) In deed, in the case of the officer who is mainly con cerned in the duties to which this return refers, I be lieve that, taking into account the great talent he brings to bear upon the business committed to him, and the large amount of that business, he is very im perfectly remunerated, and I trust some steps will be taken to make his recompense more commensurate with his labour.—(Hear, hear.) If no waste of large funds accrues from these causes, I was led to inquire into the precise state of facts, and I think the return which will be put into your hands will show that a principal portion of these large sums has been dis bursed—not for the City only and by the Corpora tion, but by the Woods and Forests and other public bodies, for metropolitan improvements.—(Cheers.) The entire amount of disbursements from these coal duties is 3,738,0661., which may be divided as _fol lows : Improvements within the City .... £1,117,345 without the City of a mixed character £3,738,066 Showing the sum apportioned for improvements without the City, and those of a mixed character, to be no less a sum than 2,620,7211. As examples of their improvements without the City, executed out of these duties, you will find— Clerkenwell Sessions House (by justices of the £ll,OOO peace) Court House of Westminster (by Dean of Westminster and Commissioners) Paving Southwark and Goswell-street Making Now Oxford-street, Cranbourno street, approaches of Waterloo-bridge, Victoria strcet, Westminster-road, from London Docks to Spitalfields (by Commissioners of Woods and Forests) As examples of the expenditure for improvements of a mixed character, you will find— Blaekfriars-bridge 230,000 County Gaol London and Middlesex 50,000 Sessions House ditto 40,000 Debtors' Prison London and Middlesex 95,000 General Post-office (site) BO,OOO Now, my Lord Mayor, it has been said that the charge of corruption sits uneasily upon us, and that we are perhaps better than we were. What says the report of the Committee of the House of Commons which, in 1812, sat in revision of the expenditure of the Corporation ?--(Hear, hear.) It says this— " They (the Committee) were nevertheless satisfied, from the documents laid before them, that every ju dicious attention and every principle of economy bad been applied by the Corporation of London that was consistent with the attainment of great public objects with the execution of which they were entrusted. They also think it incumbent upon them to declare, that having bad occasion to inspect the various and complicated accounts which the management of so extensive a concern indispensably requires, and which were produced with a laudable readiness, it appears, after full investigation, that all the details both of the receipt and the expenditure are kept with an accuracy and checked with a vigilance which reflects honour upon all who have any part in the; superintendence of this fund." What was the result of the inquiry by Committees of both Houses of Parliament in 1829, when the expenditure of these duties was examined into, the Duke of Wellington presiding in the House of Lords' Committee ? Notwithstanding the most stenuous opposition of the late Lord Durham and the coalowners, a further charge of 1,000,0001. was made upon the coal duties, and the Corporation of London entrusted Cityhasoutownrevenues, your et-books will show, since 1780, for public im provements, 1,064,690/. 2s. 7d., deducting about 100,000/., which is included in the coal duties retu rn, besides a sum for charitable purposes since that time of 118,0541. 14s. 11d., and a sum for public purposes of 54,256/. 2s. sd.—(Hear.) I know the excitement which is felt in the court in anticipation of the more spirit -stirring business of this day, and, with the ex pectation that these returns will prevent the unjust aspersions which are sometimes cast upon us, I beg to move that they be printed, and a copy sent to every member of the Court.—(Cheers.)

Henry Lewis, errand -boy in the employ of the accused, said that, on his return home on Friday last, he heard Mrs. Davies say that his master had beaten her with a shovel. He novr said that about a fortnight ago he saw his master beating his 'mistress.

OMNIBUS MONOPOLY.—The determination on the part of the proprietors of the numerous omnibuses paasing over the Blackfriars, Waterloo, and Westminster bridges to and from the Surrey side of thew ater. to uphold the " Ex hibition" fares of 4d. for no matter how short, and running all cheap opposition off these roads, has given way, for yesterday the fi gure 3 WAS visible on all these vehicles, and 3d. instead of 4d. was the fare. The fact is, the pro prietors have got alarmed, as well they may be, at the de termination on the part of the pu blic to patronise and have cheap fares ; and, therefore, the act of reducing the fares was one of policy and not of favour ; and it would be a matter of greater policy on their parts to lower the fares to still more, say 2d. They may rest assured that the numerous associa tions at present forming for conveying the public from place to place at moderate fares will feel satisfied with a twopenny fare, or more likely a penny far e, where the present proprie tors were charging 4d. and now charge 3d.

E V EN IN 0-, ADELPHI THEATRE. MR. MURRAY'S FAREWELL. (From the Scotsman.) Oa Wednesday evening the Adeiphi Theatre was crowded to excess on the occasion of Mr. Murray's farewell benefit. The Rivals was the play, the ma nager appearing in his favourite part of Sir Anthony Absolute. It is needless to say that the whole per formance went off in excellent style, assisted by the kindly volunteered services of Mr. Murray's friends and fellow-artists—Mr. Mackay, Mr. Glover, Mr. Lloyd, and Mr. Powrie; and the audience manifested the utmost enthusiasm throughout. During the evening Mr. Murray delivered the fol lowing farewell address : " Ladies and Gentlemen—lt was within these walls that, on the 10th of November, 1809, I had the honour of making my first appearance before you, and it is within the same walls that I again apptar before you, endeavouring to express to you the deep and grateful sense I entertain of all the kindness, the consideration, the forbearance you have evinced towards me during my long and motley course of t wo• and-forty years, and to perform the melancholy duty of saying farewell to those I have so much reason to love and to respect. As many may remember, my earliest efforts here were anything but successful, and I have great reason to rejoice that they were not. My father was an actor of dis tinguished talent in London, and so great a favourite wiih the public and his professional brethren, that on my entrance into the Theatre Royal, Covent garden, under the auspices of Mr. Kemble, I was so petted and favoured, on my father's account, that I came before you with all the levity and conceit na tural to a boy of nineteen.—(Hear, hear.) But your frowns, and the darkness of my reception here, taught me to know myself, and to discover that I was not ' the admirable Crichton' I bad vainly imagined. —(Laughter and cheers.) With determined industry, and doggedly, as Dr. Johnson says, I set myself to remedy my defects. You, for a time, persisted in your disapprobation—l was resolute in my efforts to improve ; you missed—l laboured, until I fairly won your smiles, and you began kindly to regard the stripling who strove so unremittingly to please you. To be brief, I rose in your favour.—(Loud cheers.) Painful circumstances made me the manager of your theatres ; and while, like others in my situation, I could wish undone many things which have been done, and have left unattempted many others I could have wished performed, vet, considering the names of the great artists I yearly brought before you, the talents of the resident company, the merits of the pieces annually produced, and the manner in which they were brought forward, I do not think the court before which I have the honour of pleading will re fuse me their verdict of approbation.—(Enthusiastio applause.) To my successors in the management of the two theatres I wish, sincerely wish, every pros perity they can wish themselves. They will profit by my blunders ; they are both in the prime of life, both of distinguished talent in their profession, both highly popular ; and I earnestly desire for them Calm seas, auspicious gales, And sail so expeditious that shall catch Their mimic fleets far off'— wafting them into the havens of a golden fortune.— (Loud cheers.) To my professional brethren I feel deeply indebted for their kind and gratifying aid on this occasion. To Tdr. Glover I owe many acts of liberal kindness, and I feel great pleasure in acknow ledging my obligations towards him.—(Cheers.) By Mr. Lloyd's kind assistance—(Cheers) —l am pecu liarly obliged, as it proves the cordial feelings of regard which exist between us. I have further to thank him for his great courtesy in postponing the opening of the Theatre Royal until after the engage ment of the Miss Batemans here. To your distin guished favourite, Mr. Powrie, I owe many, many thanks.—(Cheers.) But what shall I say to my old tried and valued friend, Mr. Mackay—(Loud cheers) —who, as he once by his talents saved the Theatre Royal, has this season, by the attraction of his nn fading abilities, greatly diminished the losses the Crystal Palace had entailed upon me— ' We have clamb the hill thegither And now are toddlin down'— but I earnestly hope that while we remain on the pages of the world's volume,' the Bailie and the Major may cling together in the firmest bonds of friendship, for the sake of Auld Langsyne.' " To the performers, orchestra, and servants of this establishment, I return my best thanks for their con stant kindness to me, and cannot refrain from ex pressing the great pride and gratification I feel at the splendid testimony of their affection and regard with which they honoured me this morning—(Applause) —and also offer my grateful acknowledgments to the trustees and shareholders of this Theatre for their un varying liberality and attention; and I trust they will not think that the reputation of the Adelphi has suf fered in my hands.—(Cheers.) " And now, my kind and liberal patrons, 'tis time for me to furl my professional sails, and say farewell to those to whom " All my service In every point twice done, and then done double, Were poor and single business to contend Against the honours deep and broad." you've showered on me. Some of my friends have led me to hope that rest and retirement may so re store me to my former self, that I may occasionally revisit the glimpses of our theatrical moon.' Should that hope be denied me, and this indeed be the last appearance I shall ever have the honour of making before you, be assured that though the years of your old servant be allowed to stretch into extremest age,' the last, the most cherished worldly recollection that trembles on his fading memory, will be the evenings ho has spent in your service, and, above all, that in which he now again thanks the brilliant assemblage before him for many, many years of kindness, and with deep, respectful, and fervent gratitude, bids you Upon the conclusion of the address, the entire audience rose and enthusiastically cheered 11Ir. Mur ray as he retired. During the delivery of the ad dress the presentation jugs (referred to by the ma nager) were exhibited on a table in the centre of the stage. OL'.l OBE it 3 l) PRESENTATION TO MR. MURRAY. On Wednesday afternoon, the members of the com pany, the orchestra, and others, employed in the theatre, requested the presence of the manager, to present him with a slight token of their esteem upon the occasion of his retirement. Mr. Mackay, the ve teran Scottish dramatist, presided, and addressed Mr. Murray in nearly the following terms : " Sir—We have requested your presence among us for a few moments, though, alas! we shall not have many more opportunities of enjoying such a pleasure. I have been selected by the company as the medium through which they wish to express their feelings towards you on the occasion of your resignation of the management of the Edinburgh theatres—an occasion of very great regret to us all. My position as the oldest member of the company has imposed on me a task which I find myself very incompetent to per form. I could wish—had I the ability—to dwell and expatiate on your excellent qualities, both as a mana ger and as an actor; yet, were I able to "do so, I should be only repeating a twice-told tale. The former have been long and justly appreciated by the public ; and the latter have been universally acknowledged by the profession. We have now met, Sir, for the last time with you as our manager, and we as your com pany. Some of us have enjoyed many happy days under your management ; and all have met with uni form kindness and gentlemanly treatment. In thus part ing with you, we felt it to be an imperative duty to mark the occasion by some tangible token of regard. We, therefore, beg of you to accept this testimonial to your many excellent qualities as a manager, and as a tribute to your talents as an actor. When you look at this mark of our esteem, it will remind you of the high estimation in which you were hold by the company over which you have so long presided with honour to yourself and comfort to us. May Heaven bless and long preserve you sir ; and that, in your retirement, you may enjoy health, happiness, and every earthly comfort, is the sincere and earnest prayer of all present." Mr. Mackay then presented Mr. Murray with the testimonial—consisting of a very handsome silver claret jug, with water jug, also of silver, to corres pond. The claret jug was surmounted by a charac teristic figure in silver of Sir John Falstaff (a favou rite part of the manager)—the whole being from the establishment of Mr. Cohnert, jeweller, Leith-street. The claret jug bore the following inscription : " Presented to William Henry Wood Murray, Eiq., by the members of his company, orchestra, and ser vants of the Theatre, as a slight token of their affec tionate remembrance, on the occasion of his retire ment from the management of the Edinburgh Theatre. —22 d October 1851." Mr. Murray was visibly affected by the unexpected gift. He briefly expressed his gratitude for this token of the kind feelings entertained towards him by the members of his company and others in his employ ment. It was to him a matter of the highest gratifi cation that he should stand so high in the esteem of those with whom he had been in such constant com munication ; and nothing was so likely to cheer his retirement as the reflection that he would carry with him their best wishes for his welfare. M r . M urray concluded by acknowledging his frequent obligations. to Mr. Mackay. BUTCHERS' CHARITABLE INSTITUTION. —Yester day afternoon the usual general meeting of the governors and subscribers to the above charity, which was founded in 1828, for affording relief to decsved and distressed master butchers, was held at the Freemasons' Tavern, for the pur pose of electing 8 male and 4 female pensioners on to the funds of the institution ; Mr. J. Sharp in the chair. There were 42 candidates for election, out of whom twelve were elected, and the proceedings terminated. The funded pro perty of the institution now amounts to 12,0001. A person can now breakfast in London and sup in Dublin the same day, and vice versa. The whole distance is 266 miles by land, and 61 by sea. SPURTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING.

ALBANS, TIIURSDAY.—To-day the Commission resumed their inquiry in the Town-hall, which was excessively crowded. Edwards was re-examined at great length during the day, and went through the remainder of the regis ter of voters, pointing out as he proceeded the persons who received bribes. The Commissioner said Mr. Coppock would be called. Edwards's examination having been closed, Mr. Wells applied to be heard to protect the inte rost of certain voters he represented, and who feared that their franchise rights might be unfairly affected by this inquiry. The Commissioners, after consultation, decided that they had no power to permit this under the Act, and declined the application. Edwards then said he wished in fairness to be ex amined with reference to the conduct,wdasurninogt fairthe election, of th e " C arden party," as it that one party only should be exposed. The Commissioner said that would be a subject for future consideration, and then adjourned to Tuesday next. DEATH or SIR JAMES WHALLEY SMYTHE GAR DINER, BART. —We have to record the demise of this baronet, who died on the 22d inst., aged 66. The deceased gentleman was born in 1785, being son of the second baronet by the second daughter of the Rev. Dr. Assheton. In 1807, he married th e second daughter of the late Oswald Mosley, Esq., and sister to Sir Oswald Mosley, Bart. The deceased succeeded to the title in 1805. In 1810, he filled the office of 11igh Sheriff in his native county, Hants. This title was created in 1783, and its first holder was John Whalley, who, on succeeding to the estates of Sir W. Gardiner, Bart., a title now extinct, assumed the last-mentioned name. Sir James is succeeded in the title and estates, which latter are situate in Hampaiire, by his son, John Booras, born in 1811.

Fairy, royal yacht tender, Master Commander Welch, was docked at Portsmouth on Tuesday last, to make good defects, and to be refitted for the re ception of her Msjesty and the Court next month. On examination it was found that her iron bottom was particukarly clean and sound on one side, and on the other the composition appeared very much rubbed and worn ; but considering the service the Fairy has performed, and that she has not had any new coat of composition for six months, we cannot find fault with her condition. Mr. Hay will merely patch up the old six months' coat on one c that Tar t:L a side, and Mr. Peacock having obtained permis sion to apply his composition to the yacht, will pay over the other side in order to test their respective ad vantages. It is due, however, to Mr. Hay to state the Channel, nearly five years, and during that time she has not composition Dbrjigii on the Fairy has been applied f or required a single rivet to be removed.

There are fifty-seven sections in the Act, and several schedules. The Great Barmoto and the Small Barmote Courts have existed for centuries, and it was deemed advisable that the mineral laws and customs should be revised, altered, and amended. The present Act was passed for that purpose, and the jurisdiction of the Bar mote Courts defined. The Act is called " The High Peak Mining Customs and Mineral Courts Act." Her Majesty may appoint a steward of the Barmote Courts, who may appoint a deputy. Courts are to be held, and a grand jury is to be sworn. Officers called " barmasters" are to be appointed. In the Great Bar mote Court the mining customs are to be decided, and in the small Barmote Courts actions of debt, title, or tres pass may be tried. The parties and their wives may be examined in the courts under this Act. Henceforth a grand jury is only to consist of twelve persons. Persons are not precluded from pr ocee di ng i n any other court havieg jurisdiction therein in respect of any matter made by this Act triable in the Small Barmote Court. &ilea and regulations may be made by the steward and grand jury for carrying out the provisions of the Act. The of fees sch edules t o d b e e fin p e a i t d h b e y mineral par ti e s customs,contain a u n a d rm otec o ur ta t b s ts tribunals of very ancient date. PUBLIC STATUES. (From the Morning 'Advertiser.) A spirited, life-like equestrian statue of William the Conqueror was erected, some ten days past, in the Champs ElysiTs, from which it was removed last week to its final destination at Falaise, the birthplace of the Norman bastard, who worsted our good old Saxon King Harold. This statue was a noble, vigorous composition, bursting with life and anima tion, and caused us sore reflections on the miserable bronze caricature of an iron Duke, which excited so w a h fi ie t h tin g squirtpen d their e to: r of much amusement to the f ore i gners on their way to the Exhibition, and th e wre t c h e d bewigged statu George wretched m the dFourth,u b. dumb-waiters, it e wh i chrs , is the meagre waters abo u t Trafalgar -square.

But the British people should not be content with such pre posterous absurdities as those which now desecrate their public places ; and even if hero-worship shall have ceased, good taste must yet survive.
