VERY FEW CAN TELL. The Sun Newspaper will soon answer the question by publishing a Beautiful, Large, and Highly Correct MAP of CHINA, with a Complete History of that Extensive Empire, and its Singular People. THE MAP will nearly occupy a page of The Sun, It is got up under the special Superintendence of the celebrated Mr. JAMES WYLD, Geographer to her MAJESTY the QUEEN. It comprehends also a large portion of India, from the Mouths of the Ganges—the Islands in the Bay of Bengal— B irmalt —Assam Thibet Nepaul Cochin China—Canton, and the immense Islands and Bays along the coast of China to PEKIN, situated One Hundred and Twenty Miles inland from the confines of the Yellow Sea. The next News from China is expected to be ex ceedingly interesting and decisive. The Island of CHUSAN, the first point of attack by the Expedition, commands the great Bay of Nankin, from which the Imperial Canal communicates with Pekin, the Capital of the Empire. Chusan is about half way between Canton and Pekin.

The contest for the High Stewardship of Cam bridge is decided in favour of Lord LYNDHURST. The old hypocrisy, therefore, maintains its ground against the new hypocrisy. We are no followers or favourers of Lord LYNDHURST, but our aver sion to him could not make us tolerate his compe titor. Lord LYTTELTON'S only claim to support, besides his school-boy tasks, was his out-and-out defence of the Church. Drilled by the priesthood, 'he signalised his entrance into political life by re sisting an attempt to reform the most corrupt, base, and hypocritical institution that ever existed. The Church of England surpasses the Papacy in hy pocrisy. The latter has something frank in its fe rocious arrogance, and dooms man, as of right, to damnation ; while the former denies the power, which, with sneaking meanness, it seeks neverthe less to exercise. There is some sincerity and some consistency in the conduct of the Papacy. It has continued in uninterrupted possession of the so denominated Apostolical succession ; but our priest hood have broken away from the succession, re nounced its authority, and yet, merely for the sake of keeping some of the wealth and power which be longed to Rome, claim all its presumed advantages. The Church of Rome does, as far as is consist ent with its tenets, and as far as its light shines, show to its people the path to everlasting life ; but the Church of England has grossly and scandal ously neglected its duty towards the people over whom it has claimed dominion, and whom it has plundered. Now,the only merit of Lord LYTTELTON, and the only ground on which he was put up for Cambridge, was his championship of the Church. He belongs to that fanatical class of young nobles and gentlemen of whom Lord STANLEY and Mr. GLADSTONE are two of the chiefs, who are as ar rogant, but more cunning, than the priesthood ; and who, because they unite worldly wisdom with priestly audacity, are more to be dreaded than the kindred tribe of IVPGH EES, O'SuLLlvArts, and STowELLs. On this account, though some of our Liberal Contemporaries, from a just aversion to Lord LYNDHURST, supported the candidate of the " holiest of all" men, we could give him no approba tion, and we are glad he is not elected. The lesser hypocrisy of the two has succeeded, and the fana tics, though aided by some Liberals, have been defeated. For the ready and mere tools of the priesthood, particularly when found in high places, no contempt can ba too great, and we shall always rejoice at their disasters. Our Paper contains the account of two lament able railway accidents, one at the Harrow station, on the Birmingham and London Railway ; and one at Milford, on the York and North Midland Rail way. Both accidents, by which four persons have lost their lives, and several have been wounded and maimed, seem to us the results of want of reason able precaution, not to say of gross neglect. We pointed out, some time ago, the great supe riority of railways, in consequence of .every part of them being the invention of man, and completely under his control. We then observed that a nail ought not to be misplaced or loose, without some body being accountable for it ; and we insisted on the necessity of jurors holding the Directors re sponsible for every accident. Differing as we do from those who would at once, prior to experience, encumber the management of railways with many useless or noxious regulations, we are bound to en force these views, and point out, if we can, the source of the accidents, and by what means they might have been avoided. The accident on the Birmingham Railway was primarily caused by the breaking down of one of the waggons of an upward train, about one and three-quarters of a mile on this side Harrow. The breaking down of that waggon must have been caused either by overloading it or by the waggon 1 being worn out or being damaged, and not in a proper condition. Into that circumstance the iCoroner's Jury, not satisfied with any inquiry into the immediate cause of the accident, ought to in stitute a rigid investigation, and ascertain, if pos sible, by whose carelessness or negligence the car riage broke down. The accident was immediately caused by an en at the Harrow station, an unusual gine wailing occurrence, when the second train with merchan- THE SUN, LONDON', SNTETRDAY, NOVEMBER 14 1840. disc was approaching. The driver of the first en gine of that train checked his speed ; the driver of the second engine, though called to, and though the policeman held up his lamp , did not ; a I collision between the merchandise train and the 1 1 waiting engine ensued, and two deaths were the consequence. The waiting engine was the obstacle placed in the way, of which the advancing train could have no knowledge. What means were taken to warn the drivers of it ? The first driver saw the signal to stop, the second did not, and that signal appears by the description to be something as little impressive as a policeman's lamp. When the accident occurred on the South Western Railway from a similar unknown obstruction being in the way of an advancing engine, we pointed out the necessity of having some strong, glaring, and impressive signal to warn an advancing train of any known obstacle. Why was not such a signal used at Harrow when an engine was placed in the way ? The unimpressive and imperfect signal appears to have been a most inefficient warning, and the want of some striking means of impressing the senses of the drivers, when an obstacle is in their path, is a neglect on the part of the Directors of which the Jurors ought to take notice. It seems that the driver of the waiting engine was in communication with the clerk of the Har row station. Both these persons must have known of the obstacle which was caused by the waiting engine ; the clerk of the station must have known too of the expected arrival of the merchandise train; and the jurors ought to inquire into the circum stances which prevented a timely and a sufficient warning having been given to the approaching en gine that danger was at hand. What was the source of the neglect is another part which the jury ought to ascertain. Either the Directors have failed to institute a signal that danger is at hand, suffi ciently striking, or the people at the Harrow station failed to exhibit it ; or the unfortunate driver of the second engine had lost his senses and could not perceive it, whence will arise the inquiry why the engine was entrusted to one driver. The accident on the North Midland Railway occurred from a similar cause to that on the Bir mingham Railway. There was a waiting coal train on the line, which ought not to have been there, and of which the driver of the passenger train not being warned, and not observing it—as it was seven o'clock—he drove his train against it. Why was this coal train allowed to be there, or why was not some striking signal made to the train which it was known was advancing to warn the driver of his danger ? Here again was gross neglect, which ought to be rigidly inquired into; and punished to the extent of the power of the Jury. One of the peculiarities of railways is that they are one property, and that no vz.ihicle can en!er or run on them without the permission of the Direetors- That circumstance makes the Directors responsible for every engine or carriage which moves on the railway. In fact, the whole of the train-carriages, as well as the engines, and the railway belong to them. It is their business to appoint, and they do appoint, the times for every train starting ; they settle too the rate of its speed, and they know the time of its expected arrival, not only at the end cf the journey, but at every intervening station be tween that and the point of starting. If they from any circumstances send off an extra train, they ought to send word by telegraph to every station that it iv coming ; and if they have not a telegraph they ought to lay one down. Besides that, they ought to have known signals to be exhibited at every station, to inform any passing train whether every expected train has kept its time or not, and whether any un usual -train or carriage is-put on the road, so that at every station, whether a train stop at it. or not, the driver and guards should see a signal exhibited by day and night, that, as far as was known, the road was or was not clear. The immense velocity with which engines are driven is a completely new element in business. It constitutes one of the essential advantages of rail roads, for the consequences of which even those who drive the engines appear scarcely prepared. 1 1 requires precautions, more perhaps than have ever yet been thought of. The art is comparatively a new one, and demands from those who practise it, and profit by it, unusual care. We must impress this to the utmost of our power on railway pro prietors, as the only means by which they can ex pect to make railways hold their place in public estimation, and preserve the management of their own property in their own hands. Sir FREDERICK SMITH proposes that railway engineers shall be examined like pilots, and licensed. He says that a board could easily be formed for the purpose. No doubt Commissioners are just as ' plentiful as idle gentlemen with insufficient in comes. But we apprehend Sir FREDERICK has not duly considered the question. The examiners of pilots are old sailors, master mariners, retired pilots, persons well acquainted with all the subjects on which they examine the candidates. Are there any old experienced engine drivers ? No ; the trade is a new one. It is yet scarcely ten years old, and no experience has been had in it. S►r FREDERICK, then, would prescribe his theoretical notions as laws before experience has been had. Why did the Hull and Selby Rail way Company take a youth who had never guided an engine before except for about a week ? Be cause, as a general rule, more experienced indivi duals are scarcely to be procured. But the case as to pilots is quite different, and tfle young and inex perienced are subjected to a close examination by those who have for years performed the same duties. The examination of pilots, too, is confined, we believe, to certain points of positive knowledge not likely to vary. For example, they are required to know the bearings and cross-bearings of all the light-houses on the coasts for which they are pilots ; the situation of every rock and shoal as learned from experience, and the land marks or soundings by which a vessel can be guided clear of them, and kept in the proper chan nels, or carried safe into any harbour. They are examined as to their knowledge of the depth of water in certain places, the proper position for an choring, &c. ; to none of which objects can there be any similitude in the examination of an eng►ne driver. Would he be examined as to how long a time it should take to conduct a train from Bir mingham to London, as to the number of station houses, and their distance apart ? What would be the use of that ? He must be examined only as to his personal sagacity, his steadiness of habits, the quickness of his eye, the firmness of his nerves, and the readiness of his hand. What Board can test those things ? Experience alone can deter mine them. He must he seen at work. He may be required certainly to go through a preparatory training ; but all who are taught, whether for the Church, or the bar, or the army, do not become skilful in their profession. The choice must, after a ll, b e l e ft to the Directors, and to license engine-drivers by a Board little able to judge of their merits, would only be a certificate to relieve the Directors from responsibility. The public have a right to insist on the Directors paying the engine men well, and so inducing respectable, well educated, well-behaved men to undertake the business ; but the history of law, of physic, and of the Church, proves that examination and licensing I are futile inventions to secure judgment, knowledge, and sagacity. We see, by the Wiltshire Independent, and by letters from Correspondents, that Mr SYDNEY SMITH is lecturing at different places in Wiltshire against the Corn laws. He collects crowds to hear him, and his denunciations of the bread-tax are received with loud cheers or bitter cries of" Shame, shame." Every word he utters finds in the starv ing people a mind ready to believe, and must make them hate the tax and hate the authors of it. Whether the doctrines of the anti-bread-tax party be true or not, there cannot be a doubt that, in proportion as they are believed, so they must excite in the working classes intense hatred of the landowners and their allies. Whether or not they deserve this hatred they can judge ; they can judge also whether they are likely to live in peace, while such a sentiment prevails in the masses ; and they can perhaps ascertain the best means of stopping the growth of this hatred and extinguishing it. A fearful thing it is to see such a sentiment spreading through the land, and preparing with certainty for a great revolution. As long, however, as the authors of the unrighteous bread-tax persevere in their iniquity, spread it must and will ; and if the landlords do not turn from their wickedness the chances are that, in the end, the tax will plunge them and the bulk of our institutions in one common ruin. By the efforts which the gentlemen made at Li merick to put down Mr. MURRAY ) the anti-bread tax lecturer, as reported in The Sun of yesterday, it would appear that they begin to be alarmed, and are ready to sacrifice the liberties of the people to preserve their hated tax. Agitation for repeal is tolerated, but agitation for the suppression of the bread-tax has in it too much of truth, and is based on too terrible a reality, for those who have an inte rest in the tax, to allow it to be freely discussed if they can prevent it. In England they have tried to prevent discussion, but without success ; in Ire land, where liberty is less known and less respected, they may succeed. On this subject, however, Ire land will be sure to follow the course of England ; and if the Anti-bread-tax League succeeds, as now appears probable, in England, the arbitrary pro ceedings of the Irish gentry will be no obstacle to final and complete success. We cannot find room to copy the report of Mr. SMITH'S lectures from the Wiltshire Independent, in which it is given at considerable length ; but we can affirm that it is animated, eloquent, full of facts—is a powerful, and will be a successful, appeal both to the hearts and understandings of the people. JOHN THOROGOOD has at length been allowed to walk out of Chelmsford gaol, after an imprison ment of twenty-two months for a rate of 53. 6d., claimed by the richest Church in Christendom. Who his deliverer is, he cannot tell. Possibly the " illustrious stranger," Sir ROBERT INGLIS, may; or perhaps some dignitary of that overgrown Establis,": ment, inwardly ashamed that he should riot in wealth, with a princely income of 20,0001., or 30,0001. a y e ar, while a poor shoemaker, a sincere Ch r i s ti an d a conscientious Man, sl oUli be treated like a fclort because he cannot conform to her oppressive laws. Bt: t. of what use is it to let JOHN TIIOROGOOD free, if WILLIAM BAINES iS to supply his place ? is there to be no end of this martyrdom, notwithstanding the almost unanimous opinions expressed in the House of Commons against the folly and madness of making the very name of the Church odious to every Dissenter, and to many Churchmen ? A Bill in accordance with these opinions passed the Commons, but all the good it con tained was neutralized by the mischievous clause introduced by the Duke of WELLINGTON, at the suggestion, no doubt, of the heads of the Church. The imprisonment of Mr. BAINES, of Leicester, is the first fruit of this precious " Bill for the Relief of Dissenters." And what is the amount of re lief ? Mockery. Yesterday, War. BAINES, of Leicester, a conscientious Dissenter, like JOHN THOROGOOD, was taken in execution under a writ de conlumace, issuing out of the Ecclesiastical Court of London, and hurried off' to gaol on the very day after the martyr for ss. 6d. was released. A copy of the writ will be found in another part of the paper, and we wish the Church joy of the result. He is imprisoned for the non-payment of 21. ss. the rate, and the costs, 1251. Ss., more than fifty times the original claim. If the fees and other costs incurred in these absurd and cruel proceedings increase in proportion to those demanded of JOHN THOROGOOD, by the time the second martyr has completed the twenty-second month of imprisonment he will be called upon to pay for the support of this State Church at least 8001. But these cruel proceedings cannot go on. This second act of oppression has roused the sympathy and 'indigna tion of the people of Leicester, and the feeling will extend like wildfire to the breast of every honest Dissenter and Catholic throughout the United Kingdom. Let the Dissenters stand true to their colours, and by next session of Parliament they may expect a delivery from this grievous and un warrantable impost. The Correspondent of the Morning Herald, who, yesterday communicated to that Journal the important news of an ultimatum having been ad dressed by Lord PALMERSTON to M. GUIZOT on the Eastern Question, has addressed the following additional information to our venerable Contem- porary The Conference of London, faithful to its character as a mediator between the conflicting interests of the Sultan and the Pacha of Egypt, and desirous to main tain the peace of Europe, have just decided upon an important step, which, I understand, formed also the object of the deliberation of the last Cabinet Council, to authorise Admiral Stopford to offer the friendly services and intervention of the Four Powers to the ) acha, t o grant hi m t h e h ere dit ar y p ossess i on o f E gypt , Provided h e su b m i ts i nstan tly ; if not, th e op era ti ons will be carr i e d on i n t h e most vigorous manner, and even not be i nterrupte d d ur i ng t h e w i n t er . Th e Conference,we he ar , i s actuated in this measure, which is only the complement of the former one, by which Lord Ponsonby was instructed to dissuade the Porte from the decheance of Mehemet Ali, by a desire to show its disinterested ness, its love of peace, and that no ideas of a party are entertained by it. That the Conference, whose mea sures have been crowned with so great success, has chosen this moment to hold out a saving hand to the Paella, shows at once its moderation and its wisdom. The sound policy of this measure will be dis puted by no person at all acquainted with the pro gress of the Eastern question. Nor can we sup pose that MEHEHET ALI will persist in setting the Great Powers at defiance, seeing that he can no longer hope to receive any assistance from France. When lately recommended to cast himself upon the clemency of th e F our P owers , the VICEROY affected to beli eve t h at L oi d P A LMERSTON had resolved upo n hi s utter destruction , an d conse quently it wa s use l ess f or hi m t o propose any terms of submission. V ery poss ibly it was this affected conviction of the PACII A that induced Lord PAL MERSTON to propose to the R e presentatives of the Powers in London the offer of mediation with which Admiral Sir ROBERT STOPFORD is en trusted. But in whatever consideration the pro posal of a friendly mediation in favour of the VICEROY originated, it clearly demonstrates the utter absence of any selfish co nsideration on the part of the Four P owers . As to the continuation of the operations on the coast of Syria in the event of the PACHA proving refractory, the best defence of such a course is afforded by M. TRIERS' expo sition of the policy which it was his intention that the French Government Jima pursue in the ensu•• 1 RELIGIOUS BIGOTRY. ing spring. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. The popularity of the n€w French Ministry, in England, in Austria, and in Prussia, is assumed as clearly establishing their criminality by the French Opposition Press. The National, which a threa tened prosecution for a libel upon the Princes of the Blood, foolishly, or rather insanely, commenced by M. MARTIN (du Nord), has rendered furious, boldly proclaims that no French Minister not a traitor to his country could obtain, under existing circumstances, the support of the English aristo cracy. As its appeals are all made to the sympa thies and prejudices of the army, it singles out Marshal SOULT as the especial and devoted object of its wrath. It devotes au entire page to an exa mination of his career, from the day he first entered the Army of the Republic, tilll his acceptance of the Presidency of the Council of the present Ca binet ; and, however we may feel inclined to de- precate the bitterness of tone which pervades this sketch, it is impossible to read it attentively and not admit that the illustrious object will cut but a sorry figure in history. His treason to all parties—the Republic—the Empire—.he Chouans—the Re stored Monarchy—the Liberals in Spain—have been indeed numerous, barefaced, and scandalously inconsistent with even an external regard for all political principles. But we have nothing to do with the past life of Marshal SoULT, and therefore we shall not give additional circulation to the fiery invectives of the National against him. One point, however, we must be allowed to notice, as regards the English Press. If the praises of the English Journals be proofs of criminality on the part of a French Mi nistry, then was the late Cabinet of M. THIERS ten times more criminal than the SOULT-GUIZOT Mi nistry. Even The Sun, which was the first of the Lon don daily journals to recommend the retirement of M. THIERS, and subsequently to advise the King of the FRENCH to drive him out of office, was the most vehement in its congratulations when he stormed the Cabinet of Count MOLE. For this we have been taxed with inconsistency. We can easily show that we were most consistent throughout. We opposed Count MOLE and supported the claims of M. TRIERS, because the latter statesman had pursued, and promised to pursue, an honest, and a manly, and a liberal policy with respect to Spain—then the only question which occupied European attention. We had reason to distrust the zeal of the KING for the constitutional cause in the Peninsula, and more than good grounds for suspecting that it was no part of the policy of Count MOLE to afford to the supporters of the Throne of ISABELLA 11. any agsistance, which the most one-sided interpretation of the Quad ruple Treaty would justify him in withholding from them. We wanted, and the cause of hu manity demanded, the speediest possible termina tion of the civil war, which was not only desolating Spain, but perverting a gallant, chivalrous, and pre-eminently religious people into a nation of bar barian brigands, and ruthless, conscienceless sa vages. It was enough fortis that by a change of Ministers in France a noble nation might be saved from the horrors of endless anarchy, and crime, to stimulate us to do all in our power to effect such a change. It was THIERs and Order, or MOLE and Civil War in Spain, and we lustily cried Out THIERS, without regard to contingencies in the East' then merely possible. It was the present good that we looked to, and it is that to which we look now in supporting the SouLT-Gurzol. Administration. We wanted peace in Spain, and supported the pre tensions of M. THlErts ; we want peace in Europe, and we unhesitatingly declare for his successors, who pledge them Selves to maintain it inviolate, not withstanding the gravity of appearances in the East. We want peace, and we are ready to sup port any Government in France determined not to interrupt by war the progress of European improve ment. This is the whole secret of our support of the present, and our opposition to the late Cabinet in France. The most peaceably disposed, and the most reforming Government for the time being, will always be sure to have our support. M. THIERS has only failed to satisfy us upon the Eastern question. When that question is disposed of, and there is no longer a bone of contention to set Europe together by the ears, we shall be as willing to recognise the claims of M. TIMERS to a seat in the French Cabinet as we ,are now eager to exclude him. THE FUNDS. The French Journals of Thursday have all reached us, after a delay of several hours, in con sequence of the stormy state of the weather yester day. We subjoin, extracted from them, some ad ditional news front Egypt and Syria, confirming all that previously appeared of the success of the Allies : The Acheron steam-boat has arrived at Marseilles with news from Alexandria of the 28th October. They give reason to expect a prompt and peaceful termination of the Oriental question ; for the Allies offer to Mehe ►rct Ali the same conditions which the French Govern ment wi-hes him to accept—namely, the hereditary possession of Egypt, and the Pachalic of St. Jean d'Acre for his life. The blockade of Alexandria is supended till the 20th of November. Mehemet Ali, yielding to the advice of M. Cochelet, has not attempted to send his fleet to s ea. All Syria appears to have risen against the Egyp tians. What has been said of the desperate condition of Ibrahim begins, however, to be doubted.—La Gazette de France. A letter from Alexandra of the 28th October says— " The French steamboat the Meteors arrived from Toulon on the 24th, but having touched at Syria to leave dispatches for the French Admiral, it has brought the memorandum of M. rfifiers, and the notification of the French Government to the Porte, which has filled the Palace with joy." A letter from Malta of Nov. 2 says—" On the same day that M. Cochelet presented the memorandum of M. Ti,icrs, the Viceroy received from England and Russia proposals to accept unconditionally the Treaty of the 15th of July. His answer is not known." The French squadon has received orders to return to Toulon. It immediately got under sail. I must not con ceal that this measure, the reason of which is unknown, has produced a very bad effect here.—Le Commerce. The King, always eager to assist the unfortunate, has placed at the disposal of the Minister of Agricul ture and Commerce the sum of 100,000 francs, payable by the Civil List, to be distributed among the depart inenti that have suffered by the late inundations. The Royal family, joining in the charitable intentions of the King, have subscribed for the same purpose the sum of 25,000 francs, the Duke of Orleans 25,000 francs, and Madame Adelaide 50,000 francs. The Minister of Agriculture and Commerce has, at the instance of M. de Lamartine, granted 50,000 francs for the sufferers by the inundations.—Moniteur. Adam Black is not to occupy the Provost's I chair at Edinburgh, because he is a Dissenter ! and this morning's Chronicle contains an article couched in indig nant terms, reprobating the treatment which Mr. Black has received. 1 confess that this blustering on the part of the Chronicle, has to me the appearance of something like humbug. Why, Sir, the great and glorious prin ciple " that men should not be excluded from civil offices on account of their religious opinions," the principle on which Catholic Emancipation was founded, and which overthrew the Test and Corporation Acts, the principle which has been desecrated at Edinburgh, was outraged and insulted in the person of Mr. Alderman Harmer, at the recent contest for the chief magistracy of the city of London. The conduct of the " Li beral" press, save the mark, upon that occasion, The Sun and Morning Advertiser forming the only excep tions, I hesitate not to say was dirty and despicable in the extreme. If there had been a steady and unanimous assertion by the " teachers of the people," of the prin ciple cited above, %%hen that principle was in abeyance at the time of the contest for the Mayoralty, I cannot think but that both Mr. Harmer, at London, and Mr. Black, at Edinburgh, would have obtained those fair prizes from their respective cities, to which they were so fairly entitled, and indeed which are still due to them. Shame on you, then, gentlemen of the Morning Chronicle, Globe, Examiner, and Spectator, for your base and cowardly desertion of that Standard of Li berty, under which, and for whose glory, you have pre tendid to wield that mighty instrument the pen," the safeguard of a free and civilized community. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, London, Nov. 13,1840. A RADICAL. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, FRIDAY.—The de mand continues moderate, and the market, though without being able to reduce our quotations, presents a languid appearance. Speculators have taken 750 bales of American. The remander of the transactions are to tl.e trade, who seemed disinclined to purchase more than their immediate wants require. The public sale!. of Sea Island to-day went off, on the whole, as well as expected, the middle and common qualities selling at the current rates by private contract, and the fine marks rather under 640, which were offered, and 200 bags sold at 141 d. a 181 d., and 80 offered ; 30 sold at 7-id. a 10-id.

THE HURRICANE OF FRIDAY-NARROW ESCAPE OF THREE WATERMEN.—About half-past four o'clock yesterday afternoon, as three watermen were pro ceeding down the river Thames in a large skiff, for the purpose of fixing some timber at the wharf of Messrs. Lett and Co , a sudden squall took the boat on her lar board side, and she was turned keel upwards. The acci dent was observed by some of the men belonging to Hungerford-market, who put off in their wherries, and, with some difficulty, made up to the watermen immersed in the river, and rescued them in an exhausted state. The boat drifted a considerable distance, but was after wards recovered. In the course of the day several acci dents of a similar nature occurred, but no loss of lives were heard of. The Earl and Countess of Wicklow and the Ladies Howard left Cavendish-square on Thursday for their villa at Stanmore. Lady Lyndhurst and Miss Copley left Paris on Thursday morning for Boulogne.

Extract of a letter from Fort Kahun, July 20 : Poor Clarke !—believe not one word of those re ports in the Papers about his rashness ; he had a most desperate game to play—you cannot conceive what a country he had to pass through, passes where 100 brave men would defeat 10,000. If he had retreated as ad vised, the Murrees would have followed him up the whole way to Pullajee, from whence he was forty miles ; night and day he would have had no peace. My situa ation is not an enviable one, but far from perilous, for though I.have the whole of this tribe against me, and a report of another, the Kozacks, about to join them, I feel confident, with God's blessing, of being able to hold my post against them until I obtain relief. I have been strengthening myself every possible way with ditches, double walls, stakes, and palisades. I have every confidence in the pluck of the old regiment of . sepoys. I have seen a great deal of these rascally Beloochces, and have no opinion of thei• courage, unless they have thirty to one man.

LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY.— It was with considerable pain we yesterday heard a report, said to have come from good authority, that it has been once or twice discussed among the Directors whether they shall not be obliged to shut up the line for the purpose of repairing the damages the weather and traffic have occasioned, and which the safety of the public renders indispensable, but cannot be done while the line is in operation. If this be unhap pily true. which, however, we hope is not the case to the full extent, but for which we fear there is some foundation, what is to become of the internal traffic of the country with only one railway, and that shut up ?—Railway Magazine.
