out, stripped off her clothes to get money. oi,Lers had plundered her and the Doctor ere he died ; she saved her marriage ring in her hair ; she had to leave the body unburied, and with bare feet to walk over the burning rough road for three miles to a village, to be teased and terrified till sleep quieted all the village ; nett morning they sent her to the Newalo. The Doctor's last words were " Poor Lotty ! I am glad to know she is safe wi h 5--.' lam glad he thought so highly of me as to put such confidence in me, and consequent satisfac tion about his child. lam glad God preserved her. We were all 16 days at the Newab's, and got here on the 12th July. Poor Mr. Barber was quite knocked up ere Mrs. Mawe lost sight of him ; he fell as if shot an hour afterwards, killed by the sun. Poor Ewart, the most fearless of men, died in the same way. On the 23d they et gypped, and Henry Kirke went to a village to get him a little water ; though insensible, he came back with the whol village yelling like fiends at his heels ; thus they could neither see Ewart nor Barber breathe their last— every one against them. One man snatched away Kirke's pistol as he gave him drink ; another stunned poor Ser. geant Kischoff as he stooped to drink from the man's brass vessel; they cudgelled him till he seemed dead, then plundered him ; he rose when they were gone, and God directed his steps to a village where the people sheltered him and gave him money. I think he mu it have called himself the magistrate of Muboa, for the man who to:d me of this said he was that official, vs lo is still at Churkaree, or was when we last heard. Jackson carrying Mrs. Kirchoff behind him—she was tied to him —got with Henry Kirke to a village in a native state. He was well received, and sent on here after a few dap,' rest. He is now second in command of a small force being raised hereabouts by the Rajah of Rewah. Mrs. Maw has left by palkee for Mirzapore, whence a steamer rakes her and Lotty to Calcutta—thence she goes home. Poor woman ! she suffered awfully ; she expects her COLI. finetnent in Sept. I was afraid of its taking place every day. Sergeant and Mrs. Kirchoff have gone to Miaza- Pore. Frank Ron and I are detained to serve with the 30th Regt. here. It is loyal—that is, it consults its own interests, and is obedient. It could not well get away if it rebelled now. I pray God it may be true. I have tried to get away to get to Allahabad, and join an expedition. " You will feel that we who are alive have much cause to thank God. lam glad to say Jackson and Frank feel this and see the finger of God in many events that told for us. Everything I possessed has been destroyed ; my horse ruined last of all by the spear wound. I had to throw my pistol away in order to hold Lotty. How that child, two years old, lived I know not ; angels must have had their wings over it. On the 19;h and 20th its bead was for hours bare to the sun. On the 22d I made a ra; into a sort of turban. She, aged three years in wind, during her ride was as healthy as any child in En4land. She felt more horrified than Leonora after her ride with William, and could not endure my ap proach after her mother came. "Monday, July 20. " I was very sorry on the 19th to lose sight of some cf the stragglers, but it could not be helped. I could not kucp the men back, and I could not carry more on my two horses. Thank God, all go safely to places of shelter save the wife of Mr. Langdale, who wrote for the Treasure-chest-office. Her husband left her, and she died or was killed. "Jackson had a terrible labour in carrying Mrs. Kir ehoff behind him, which he did from the 20th to the 231 or 24th. She sat a /a Torque; so did Mrs. Mase, behind the doctor, and not as ladies like to sit, both feet on one side. The labour was terrible to Jackson ; the poor woman was tied to him. They went 40 miles one day ; the poor women had to ride on the nearly bare backs of the horses, and must have suffered mush." -FIER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. Two Extra Performances only, at Reduced.

In another part of our impression will be found soveral extracts of letters from Lieutenant-Colonel EDWA.RDES, C. 8., who is deservedly one of our roost trusted and valued Indian officers. The manner in which, while yet young and compara tively unknown, he acted at Mooltan, on an emergency of no ordinary magnitude, gained for him the thanks and gratitude of the nation, and he has since displayed in the higher positions to THE SUN, LONDON, it practically waounts, is a heavy blow and great discouragement to English influence in the Otto man Empire. He was peculiarly the friend of England, the advocate of every sound and whole some reform, and the supporter of the Christian subjects of the Sultan. He was in his position at the head of the Turkish Cabinet at the time of the protest of the four Ambassadors against the Moldavian Elections. He was at that time " the right man in the right place." But, unfortu nately, the active and persevering exertions of his opponents prevailed, and he was compelled to re sign his chief place in the Turkish Government to other hands. His fall was, however, broken. He was nominated the President of the Tanzimat Council, just as an nglish Premier might be made President of the Privy Council here—a dignified although not very important position. This, moreover, has been also taken away, and it has even been rumoured, although, we trust, without adequate foundation, that his son DJEMIL BEY, the Ottoman Ambassador at Paris, would parti cipate in his downfall. We cannot place much confidence in the new President, FUAD PASHA, more especially when his appointment is regarded, as it must be, as a complete victory over English influence. This is a portion of what Lord STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFE has brought upon us by his peremptory and unyielding disposition : we fear that, so long as he remains at Constantinople, we shall not regain our quon dam position, nor exercise the power to which wo are justly entitled. A " refractory ambassador" is objectionable on many grounds, and it is high time that he were permitted to enjoy the ease to which he is entitled after 50 years of diplomatic service. Never was there a time when it was more essential that we should be adequately re: presented at the Turkish capital. which he was justly promoted, the same ability and zeal that originally gained him fame and promotion. Lieutenant-Colonel EDWAIIDES is an unimpeachable witness. He possesses an accurate knowledge of the native character, and fully under stands what may be accomplished by indefatigable energy and unflinching determination under the most apparently adverse circumstances. Peslia wur, where he is stationed, and where his in valuable services have been chiefly rendered, was, " during peace, an incessant anxiety ; now, it 15 the strongest point in India." He says—" We have struck two great blows—we have disarmed our own troops, and raised levies of all the people of the country. The troops are confounded ; they calculated on being backed by the people. The people are delighted, and a better feeling has sprung up between them and us in this enlist ment than has ever been obtained before. I have also called on my old country, the Deragat, and it is quite delightful to see how the call is an swered. 2,000 horsemen, formerly in my army at Mooltan, are now moving on different points, according to order, to help us in this difficulty, and every post brings me remonstrances from Chiefs as to why they have been forgotten, What fault have they committed that they are not sent for ? This is really gratifying. It is the heart of a people. It does one good all through." But how has this kindly feeling been exalted ? What charm has converted those who were im placable foes, or at best discontented allies, into faithful and devoted friends, on whom implicit reliance can be placed in the hour of trial ? It was the magical effect of justice and libera lity. They had witnessed the manner in which ha (Lieutenant-Colonel EDWARDES) had acted towards his followers on the previous occasion. The Anglo-Indian Government had responded fairly to his demands, and they are now z eaping the reward. We shall, however, let him speak for himself. He says : " The Peshawurees had often heard that I had been grateful in getting rewards for my followers after the Mooltan war ; but they were not prepared to see such a demonstration from the other end of the Soolimanee Mountains. It excites their better feelings, and will do them good too. All yesterday I was busy fitting out 700 horie and foot levies (Mooltanee) to reinforce NICHOLSON at Jullundhur. How all the liberality shown to these Mooltanees after the war of 1848-49 is now repaid, in the alacrity with which they rush to our side again to help us They are now invalu able, and so glad to see me again ; it is quite a pleasure in the midst of this howling wilderness." " Events have indeed taken a wonderful turn." It was mainly against these very men that the Bengal Army was organised, and such vast stores of am munition and all the materiel of war collected together at Delhi ! Now they are rendering the most valuable services against the wretches who proved " unfathful to their salt," and are in com pany with English troops assailing the stronghold, garrisoned for the purpose of keeping them in subjection. We live, indeed, in strange eventful times, when the parts of the actors in the Indian drama can be so completely re-cast; and the secu rity of the British supremacy is guaranteed by the efficient efforts of our quondam opponents on the western and north-western frontiers. Lieut.-Colonel EDWARDES speaks impressively of the prejudicial consequences that may arise from the protracted resistance of Delhi. He says, " The delay damages our reputation, and encou rages the belief, artfully disseminated by the Brahmins and Moollahs, that all prophecies agree that the English rule is now to end. So the deluded people rise here and there, and add to the anarchy and confusion. We trust that 20,000 soldiers are now embarking from England, but they cannot reach till September, and you may judge what has to be endured, and done, during the intervening months." This is the most power ful commentary on the vital importance of promplii tude and energy in such a crisis. Under existing circumstances, it was not practicable to hazard a generalassaul ton Delhi. The beleaguering force had to wait for reinforcements, just as General WHISH had at Mocha. All that could be done was to take up a position before the City, and to main tain it against all the odds of men and " artillery (taken out of our own magazines)" that could,be brought against us ! How different would it have been, if either of the rival telegraphs had been constructed, either by the Red Sea or the Eu phrates Then the painful tidings would have been anticipated by a full month, and Parliament still assembled, would have insisted on the most rapid and effectual means being adopted. Every soldier that could be spared from the Cape or from the different stations in the Mediterranean would have been hurried on without a moment's delay, and the Overland route, and our own screw men-of war would have been made available to the utmost extent, despite of all the resistance of Sir CHARLES WOOD and the red-tapists. Hundreds of artillery men might be sent as ordinary second-class pas sengers by every steamer, and no objection would or could be made on the part of either SULTAN or Pacha, of the Ottoman or the Egyptian Govern ment. His Excellency Baron Bentinck has left town for Scotland on a tour of visits. The Duke of Devonshire on leaving Bolton Abbey, last week, went to Hardwick° Hall, his princely man sion near Chesterfield. The Duke of Rutland has been entertaining a select party at Longshawe Lodge, Derbyshire. Lord and Lady Forester and Lord George and Lady Adeliza Manners have been staying with the noble duke. The Marquis of Lansdowne gave a grand fete at B - wood a few days since, to his tenantry and the inha bitants of Caine. More than 4,000 persons partici pated in the hospitality liberally provided by the noble marquis. The Marquis Dalgos has left the Brunswick Hotel, Jermyn-street, for a tour in the north. The Count de Maintenaud has left the same establishment for Paris. The Earl and Countess of Scarborough have arrived at Longshawe Lodge, Derbyshire, on a visit to the Duke of Rutland, from the noble earl's shooting-box in Scotland. The Earl de Gray arrived at Bath a few days !since, from Wrest Park, Beds. Viscount and Viscountess Vesci and family have ar rived at Claridge's Hotel, from the Continent. Lord and Lady Begot have left Blithfield, their seat in Staffordshire, on a tour of visits in Scotland.

The Lord Mayor yesterday received 5001. from the Governor and Company of the Bank of England, in aid of the Indian relief fund. INDIAN RELIEF FUND.—We have authority for stat ing that there is no foundation for the reported donation by Lord Dalhousie, of the pension of 5,0001. per annum which he receives from the Court of Directors ; although generally notified by the public press, nothing is known of the fact at the Mansion-house.--arincilay's Home News. DEATH OF REAR-ADMIRAL WILLIAM HENDRY.—This gallant officer, on the retired list of 1851, died on the 6:h inst., at Buckland, near Portsmouth, at the advanced age of 80 years. DEATH OF REAR-ADMIRAL DANCE.—Another flag officer on the retired list of 1847 is deceased, William Townsend Dance, a captain of 1834. He entered the navy May 16, 1806, as midshipman, on board the Triumph, 74, Captain Sir Thomas Masterman Hardy. FATAL ACCIDENT TO ADMIRAL HAWTAYNE.—Non wicut Sept. 9.—A fatal accident occurred last ever.ing to Admiral Hawtayne. The gallant admiral was wak ing on the south pier at Loweatoft with a little girl and a lady, her mother, and, the evening being very (lath, be fell over the side of the pier. The water was very shallow, but the admiral sustained a concussion of the brain, and died in about Lalf an hour. The accident was first discovered by the screams of the little girl, who also fell off the pier with the admiral, and whose cries attracted her mother to the spot. The child was happily rescued. The late Admiral Bruat presented to the cathredral of St. Pierre, in Martinique, a large bell which formed part of the booty taken by the French at liertch ; and on the 26th Jnly the bell was baptised on the island with gnat pomp. The admiral's reason for presenting the belt to Martinique was that he was formerly governor of the French %Vest India Islands. THE CAPE.—IMMIGRATION GRANT.—In the summary of intelligence from the Cape Argus it is stated that 50,0001. were voted by the Cape Parliament for immi gration purposes. At the meeting of the New Brunswick and Nova Seetia Land Company yesterday the accounts showed a net profit of 6781. 18e, out of which a dividend of ss. per cent. was declared. We (Bath Ckronicle) are sorry to learn that Mrs. Tite, the wife of one of our city members, is suffering from very ill-health at Malvern, which compels him to decline for the present a complimentary dinner to which he has been invited by his friends and supporters in Bath. THE NORWICH MUSICAL FESTIVAL.—The approach. ing festival is likely to prove even more attractive than any of the former festivals, and everything, we are assured, will be done to sustain the high character the preceding ones have acquired. TEA IN BELFAST. --The number of pounds of tea entered for consumption at Belfast for the week ending Sept. 5, was 42,1891ba., against 34,8051b5. the previous, making a total of 1,563,3151b5. since Ist January last, against 1,209,9981b5. same period last year. In the Bankruptcy Court yesterday there were some further proceedings in the case of Messrs. Gotch, of the Kettering Bank. The debts are 'dated at about 130,0001. and the assets at 80,0001. Assignees were appointed. The Spanish Government has ordered a prosecution of the Discussion for the publication of a seditious ar ticle, and the Cronica has been seized for a similar offence. Count de Punon-Rostro has been promoted to the rank of major-general. THE BISHOP RELENTS.—It is understood that the Bishop of ExAer has intimated his intention of forth with licensing the Church of England portion of the Tiverton cemetery. His lordship proposes consecrating it on his return from Durham, where he is at present located.—Exteer Plying Post. THE "TIMES" AT MADRID.—The police now go round to the cafes and reading-rooms, and seize the journal which has branded Concha as a slave-dealer, and as having availed himself of his position, as Captain-General of Cuba, to traffic in human flesh, and perpetrate other abominations. We are informed that Mr. Coppock and the other directors of the Royal Surrey Gardens Company have made an offer in writing to resign, provided that the names of five other gentlemen wil lag to undertake the management of the company's affairs be submitted to them. PRESENTATION OF A SWORD, &0., TO COL. WILBRA HAIL, C.B.—The tenantry of the paternal estate of C.A. Wilbraham, C.B , with their wives and families, assem bled in force on Tuesday afternoon, at Rode Hall, Ches hire, for the purpose of presenting to that gallant officer a sword and a copy of " Wellington's Despatches." The sword was presented to Col. Wilbraham by Mr. Samuel Yates, one of the oldest tenant farmers, on the estate ; and the despatches and cabinet by the Rev. James Lode of Rode. The East India Company have ordered the follow ing vessels to be surveye d, previous to accepting them for the conveyance of troops, viz. :—For Bombay, the steamers Great Bri ain, Italian, Princess Charlotte, In domitable, and Melbourne ; for Kurrachec, the steamers Bahiana, Ireland, Leopold 1., and Austria : also the Charity and St. Louis for Madras and Calcutta respec tively. The ships Malabar and Bengal are ordered to be surveyed, preparatory to being engaged to convey recruits of the C empany'e service to Madras. CONVEYANCE OF TROOPS TO INDIA.—LIVERPOOL, Thu re day.—Au announcement in the underwriters' room. to day states that yesterday eleven screw steamships hut no sailing vessels were relected, althongh 200 were offered fur charter. The fellowieg are the names of the steamship selected, and their destinations :—For Bom bay—Great Britain, Italian, Indomitable, Melbourne, a , d Princess Charlotte (Belgiae). For Calcutta—Cha rity an 1 St. Louis (French). For Kurrachee—lreland, Au-trig, and Leopold. Far Madras—Behiana. THE FAIL'IRE OF MESSRS. BRUFORD, DYER, AND Co.—The Bristol Gazette says :—The deed of a-sigureent required at the meeting of creditors of this firm has been ex cited. It is expected that the private provertv of Mr. I.l.:eston, one of the partners, will realise 60,0001., and that a first dividend of been 51. to 64. BJ. in the pound will be paid within three months. The account. ants to the estate are sanguine that the ultimate loss to the creditors will not exceed 6s. 81. in the poun]. A curious circumstance occurred a few days ago Jet llavl e : a boa constrictor, received from Braz 1, laid an egg, and almost immediately a serpent about I.a, feet one` issued from it. No preparations having been made to receive the young boa, it died soon after of cold. A VERY OLD CLERCY MAN.—Probably the oldest cler gyman in England is the Rev. H. Totty, D.D., rector of Etchinghaw, Sussex, who is in his 102 d year. Dr. Totty has been engaged in restoring his parish church, Rill a few days ago witnessed the striking ceremonial of its solemn • re-opening. It is not yet too late to do so. We should not lose a moment in the vain expectation that the outlay may not be required. The safety, honour, and welfare of Great Britain hang in the balance. As we have already stated, every pound promptly and judiciously expended, would have saved four times, aye, probably ten times the amount at a future day, and prevented some at least of the fearful and heartrending sufferings, that must be com pletely avenged. We may now expect new accounts almost every hour. We fear, however, that they will not he such as to authorise any relaxation of our exertions, but rather what will induce us to strain every nerve to the uttermost, to sustain the gallant soldiers now at the scene of action, and to vindicate the prestige of the British name, and bring well-merited retribution on the sanguinary miscreants who have committed atro cities scan:3(ly paralleled in any time or country. Advices from Constantinople of the sth inst. announce two facts—first, " that the Persians have evacuated Herat ; and, secondly, that FUAD PASHA had been appointed President of the Tan zimat Council, in the place of REDSCHTD PASHA." The first is a very satisfactory piece of intelli gence. Serious apprehensions had fur some time bean entertained that the SHAH was not disposed to carry out faithfully the obligations which he had contracted, and which led to the conclusion of the Persian war. This was the natural result of the tardiness displayed in the evacuation of Herat. H e m i g that ht easily have considers 1 England's difficulty was Persia's oppor tunity, or h e might have been stimulated by secret f oes ments. it doubt remain e d force, ready to act, on th obstacle has now, fortunat el y, a violation of his engage- Was obvious that, while any 1 we sho u ld ma i n t a i n a sufficient e Persian territory. This e y, been removed, and we may direct all our energies and all our re sources to the crushing of the India n re b e lli on , and the exemp lar y p unishment of the blood thirsty miscreants, who stained their hands, not only in the blood of their own officers, ' mt . of English women and English children. The disgrace of REDSCIIID I'ACIIA, for to that FRIDAY KV FINING,' SEP I'EMBER 11, 1857 LATEST _NE Vil We have news from Constantinople to the sth September. The arms of the embassies of France, Russia, and England are uncovered to view, and the usual diplomatic intercourse resumed. Fuad Pacha is named President of the Council of the Tanzimat, in place of Redschid Herat is evacuated. Troubles, excited by reli gious fanaticism, have followed the departure of the Per.ian troops. The Ottoman dignitaries have proposed to the Porte to name a ruler for the Principalities, either a brother or son-in-law of the Sultan. FRANCE PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING. The Moniteur has some nominations and pro motions in the Legion of Honour, and in the army, navy, and public professorships. Various rumours continue to fly about concern ing the meetings of crowned heads that are to take place before the end of the month. Most of them are hardly worth repeating, and probably are mere inventions or conjectures. The one that seems to obtain most credit it that the Emperor of the French and the King of Prussia will meet at Darmstadt, after the meeting of the former Sove reign with the Emperor Alexander at Stuttgard. TEE EUROPEAN AND AFRICAN SUB MARINE TELEGRAPH, The Debats says : "The Univers to-day prophesies, with texts of Scrip ture, the fall of England, and declares her summoned to the judgment of God. 'They lashed Catholic truth,' says the Univers, with the prosperity of Eng land. See (they said) is not Protestant England the freest, the richest, the ir r,ngest nation in the world ? They can no longer use this argument, since England is condemned to perish.' Yet a little,' says the Univers, and we shall less often hear it asked what England would have gained by remaining Ca tholic ? She would have gained this—she would have made herself in India a solid empire, and she would not have been overthrown) a blow, shamefully hust'ed (bousculee)' One can hardly discuss such arguments, attired in such language. Let us, however, point out to the Univers that its prophetic ardour makes it lose sight of the past, and of the lessons of history. Certainly it is grievous to be threatened with the loss of an immense colony, even when one possesses many others that are tranquil and prosperous, but it is yet more grievous to have lost all one's colonies or to have none to lose, and that is the condition of the moot Catholic nations in the world—Spain and Portugal. The present difficulties of England are the attributes and the natural and legiti mate compensations of power and prosperity. Before rejoicing at them, and proudly congratulating onself on being exempt from them, it would be well to reflect that it is already something to have so much to lose, and that it enables the loser boldly to support the comparison with those who have nothing. It is not then yet time to point out the effects of Divine vengeance in the situation of England, and to declare that heresy has been fatal to her power, but it is al a aye time for the Univei's to promulgate and inter pret the decisions of Heaven, at the risk of finding itself at variance with those of common sense." The Prefect of Police addresses a circular to the commissaries of police in Paris, directing them to visit all the shops of dealers in meat, fruiterers, grocers, salted meats, and smoked hams and sausages. They are to do this simultaneously, and all food unfit f .)r consumption is to be seized and, at the expense of the parties, conveyed to certain persons (horse slaughterers) therein named. Fats intended for manufacturing purposes are excepted, but they must be mixed with turpentine to prevent their use in food. A veterinary surgeon, a chemist, or a physician is to 10-1 called in in case of dispute as to the fitness of articles of food for consumption. In all instances the offence is to be returned to the prefecture with the name of the offender in a proces verbal, to be presented under the law of the 27th March, 1855. All vessels of copper and lead used by the pre parers of meat are to be seized, espe3ially if the tinning is defective or their substance oxidised. The opening ceremony of the railway from Niort to Rochelle and Rochefort, with the speeches of M. Baroche, the Minister, the Bishop of Rochelle, and other distinguished personages, fill nearly half the space of the official journal yesterday. A great number of the Councils-General of France have strongly recommended the support of M. de Lesseps' scheme for piercing the Jet imus of Suez. The Cr6dit /abler Company is about to bring an action against the Times in consequence of some strictures made by that journal on the proceedings of the company.

SIR, —Can you acquaint your readers why the seven battalions of Foot Guards ar.) kept idling about the streets of London and other favoured places, instead of being sent (at least 3 or 4 of them) to the scene of action in India, ? In putting this question lately to an old Guardsman, he said, "Oh, the Guards are not enlisted for any service out of Europe ! And further, they are required to attend on the Sovereign and to do other duties of honour." Now, with regard to the first of these objections, does it appear on the face of each man's attestation that he cannot be called on to servo out of Europe ? In the second case, can it be believed that our present most popular Sovereign would require or wish for such a fine body of efficient troops bAng kept at home solely for the purpose I have men tioned ? Would she not feel secure, and have suf ficient honour paid her by the body of regular troops that would still be kept in England ? I fully believe that the Queen would ! With regard to the defences of the nation, 1 presume to say they neight fairly be trusted to its militia (if wholly embodied), and united with such regiments of the line as would be available at home, together with the depots of those abroad. " Up Guards and at them." Yours obed'ently, AN OLD 7TH FUSILIER. September 9th, 1857. THE FATAL FIRE IN HoLsonN.—VEßDtor. 7 —Yester• day the coroner and jury met for the sixth and last time to inquire into the origin of the fire which happened at No. 14, High llolborn, at the end of July last, and by which two persons, named William Chapple and John Rolfe, lost their lives. Some further evidence was taken and the jury returned the following verdict:—" That the deaths of the deceased persons were occasioned by a fire in the premises, No. 14, High Holborn, in the occu pation of Mr. G. Maidinent, but whether the said fire was acci !totally or wilfudy caused by. the criminal act of some person or persons unknoWP, there is no evidence to show." They also r-x)ressed an opinion that Dunk, the conductor, behaved in a very meritorious manner on the occasion. LETTERS TO OFFICERS SERVING ON BOARD SHIPS OF WA.n. —There appears to be some misapprehension respecting the Deltic:ion authorise] on the 23rd May last in the postvg- of letters addressed to officers serving on board ships of War upon foreign and colonial stations. it frequently happens that upon 'etters chargeable with a foreign postage in addition to the British postage of 61, the latter only is paid ; whereas, whenever prepay. went is eithr r compulsory or intended, both postages should I e paid. Thus, upon prepaid letters forwarded aia Marseilles, addressed to officers serving on board ships of war in the Mediterranean, India, or China, and upon all letters, via Marseilles, addressed to offi• cars on board ships of war in Australia or New Zealand, not only the British rate of 6d. per half ounce, but the French transit race of 3d. per quarter ounce, must be prepaid. In like manner, upon all Letters addressed to officers serving on board ships of war on the Pacific sta tion, the Granadian transit rate of 6d. per half ounce must be paid in advance, in addition to the British rate of 6d. per half ounce. By command of the Postmaster- General, RorLArtp HILL, Secretary, TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR, —We have the pleasure to inform you that a telegraphic despatch from Cagliari, dated Sept. 9, announces to us that the submarine cable connect ing Europe and Africa has been successfully laid between Bona and Cape Teulada. The communi cation between Teulada and Spartivento, a distance of 17 miles, has to be made before regular tele graphic communication can be - opened. with Algeria. The cable i 3 a heavy one, with four conducting wires, and has been laid successfully in above 100 nauts, of 1,600 to 1,700 fathoms water. The total distance covered is 124 nauts, or 145 miles. We are, Your faithful servants, R. S. NEWALL & CO. 24, Abingdon-street, Westminster, Sept. 10, 1857. The expedition, under the command of Messrs. Newall, the engineers, started from Cagliari, on the Sardinian coast, with the cable in the hold of the Elba, and began paying it out, commencing from the African coast at Bona, on the Algerine frontier. Among the principal members of the ex pedition were the Cavalier° Bonelli, Minister of Telegraphs in Sardinia ; M. Siemens, Minister of Telegraphs for Prussia ; M. Branville, represen tative of the French Government telegraphs, with Mr. J. W. Brett, the concessiona;re, of the line and originator of the submarine telegraph system. Pre liminary operations were commenced on Monday, and the entire cable was safely submerged, and communication effected with either coast on Wed nesday evening. The distance between Cagliari and Bona is 150 miles, an island of rock called Galeta only intervening a short distance from the African coast. The weight of the cable in the former ex periment that failed was at the rate of 8 tons per mile, whereas the weight of the cable now so success fully submerged has been reduced to about 1 tons ro the mile, or about equal to that of the Atlantic cable, and this, added to the perfection of the ma chinery for paying out, and the skill of the engi neering manipulation, tended greatly to facilitate the operation. The bed of the Mediterranean being of a soft chalk and shelly character, similar to that of the Channel between Dover and Calais, fur nishes an excellent place of deposit for the cable. There are four copper wires for the electric com munications, twisted spirally one over the other. Every assistance was afforded by the French and Sardinian Governments to the company, who have an exclusive privilege granted them for 50 years by the two governments, the French Government giving a guarantee of interest of 4 per cent. on 180,0001., and the Sardinian 5 per cent. on 120,000/. About one-half the quantity of cable required to extend the Mediterranean telegrapa from Sardinia to Malta, and from Malta to Corfu, is manufawured, and as soon as the other half is ready these places will be brought into the range of telegraphic con nection with England and the Continent. THE INDIAN TELEG.RAPH VIA THE EUPHRATES VALLEY. The following information, derived from an authentic source, is a practical illustration of the security of a telegraph through Syria and Mesopotamia, and of the wisdom of the Porte in refusing to incur the responsi bility of protecting it : The reports of serious disturbances in Syria and of the disorganised state of that important province of the Turkish empire which have been current in Paris for some days past, are fully confirmed by the following letter received from Beyrout, dated the 16th of Aug. : " Our merchants are in a state of great uneasiness, and if order be not restored in the country all transactions with the interior will become impossible. The mail which left this on the 10th inst. for Damascus was plun dered at a distance of six leagues from Beyrout by the Druses, and two of the guards were severely wounded. Cash to the amount of 182,000 piastres was carried off by the highwaymen. Of this money 100,000 piasters belonged to the local government, and the remainder to private persons. The Emir of the Druses has written to the Deftarder here to say that be took this money to indemnify himself for the arrears of pay due to him for several years. The local authorities, in place of punish. ing the malefactor:, are imposing fresh taxes on the people to replace the money stolen. News of a still more disastrous nature has been received here. It is said that the great caravan, which left Damascus for Bagdad two moths since, has been completely plundered by the Bedouins of the tribe of Chatnmar. This caravan, composed of I,2so.camels, carried merhcandise worth 15,000,000 piastres. The drivers in want of water turned from the direct road to reach a branch of the Tigris or Euphrates, and while in the Desert the caravan was attacked and pillaged. This news has caused great anxiety among the merchants here, who still hope that it will not be confirmed." MR. TOWNSEND, 7 11. P.-MEETING AT WOOLtricir. A crowded public meeting was held last night at the Lecture-hall, Nelson-street, Woolwich, for the purpose, as stated in the handbills, of hearing from Mr. Town send, M.P. fur Greenwich, an account of his parlia mentary conduct during the late session. Mr. Eugene 11Iurray took the chair. Mr. Townsend, who was re ceived with great cheering, after recapitulating the ques tions on which he had voted during the session, stated that until property - qualification was abolished, and a very large extension of the suffrage obtained, the peo l le would never be able to send members of their own choice. After referring tl his labours to obtain addi tional pay for the dockyard labourers, he promised in the next session of Parliament—and he should be there in spite of his enemies—(!oud cheers)—to submit a motion to increase the wages of govern ment labourers to 163, a week. He had been in busi ness at Greenwich fourteen years, and until recently no man over had to call upon him twice for a debt. Mr. Townsend then entered into detail with a view to prove that at the period of his election he possessed the requisite legal qualification, and that his subsequent difficulties were caused by the persevering efforts of a solicitor whom he name,t, and who bad boasted that he would drive him from his seat. He had just begun to find his way about the House of Commons ; he had to the utmost of his ability served his constituents ; and it now became a question whether he should continue to serve them—(cries of " Yes")—or not. If they wished him to resign his seat, he would not be a stubborn man ; but if otherwise, his enemies should not wrest the seat from him. It was the cause of the constituency he was fighting. His enemies did not object to ;aim as John Townsend the auctioneer, but as John Townsend the member of Parliament. Mr. Townsend resumed his seat amidst the most uproarious applause. A resolution of confidence in Mr. Townsend was unanimously passed. CRYSTAL PALACE FLOWER SHOW.—As We antici pated, the fine weather of yesterday brought down large numbers to the Crystal Palace. A flower show at a shilling is really a novelty, and must have been doubly so to many of the visitors yesterday. roe specimens of fruit and flowers, especially the former, retain all their bloom and freshness, and bid fair to be as attractive to day as they were on Wednesday. Not the least interest ing portion of the show is the Amateurs and. Cottagers' Collection. In this the exhibits show a great advance on last year, both in quantity and senility, and the fruit and vegetables would do no dis:Tedit to profeesional growers. The Crystal Palace Company has originated an idea that is likely to be of real service in the - promo tion of private horticulture. CRYSTAL PALACE. —ONIS SHILLING DAY.—THORSDAY, SEPT. 10 —Admission on payment, 13,252 ; ditto, by season tickets, 1,375 ; total, 14,627. Exaggerated and alarming reports have been circu lated to the effect that a solicitor has absconded, leaving liabilities to the amount of about 150,0001., represented in part by forged bills. It is added tat one of the Lon don joint stock banks i 3 a heavy sufferer. The facts of the case appear to he as follows : —Mr. T. Dean, solicit, r, of 7, King's Bench Walk, Temple, has absconded. We believe, however, that the total amount of his liabilities, so far as can be ascertained, does not exceed 25,0001. ; that the circle of sufferers scarcely exceeds half a dozen persons, chiefly his own relatives and immediate clients; and that the sum in .which the bank referred to is inte rested is under 2,0001 , and may be partially covered by other securities. Mr. Dean lived, in apl tin way, at Barnes Common. His practice was never extensive, but .he had been some 25 or 30 years iu the profession.- -Daily News. FRENCH AND ENGLISH FISHERMEN —On Wednesday Louis Gifford, master of the No. 299 of Dieppe, and N. Germs, master of the No. 348, of Boulogne, were brought before the North Shields magistrates by Lieut. Sieve:al, of. the Otter, charge] with fishing withiu a mile and a half of the Northumberland coast, and the charge being proved against them, they were mach fined 101. and costs. Lieut. Eimpeen, in answer to a question from the Mayor, stated that the English fiehermencomplaire d very much of the damage done to their nets by th French boats fi‘hine upon the English ground. lie stated that the c e.v of a French lugger bad been guilty of a very inelignant act on the previous night. They had sailed their vessa with a grapnel inn over l.r st:ru, through a fl set of English boats, and tore away five or s x of their nets. 'l'ne crew had, however, covered their number, and the English fishermen hai not been anab!ed to ident fy the vessel. At present about 150 large French luggers, manned with crews of from 15 to 20 men each, are fishing for herrings in the North Sea. As we have before stated, by international treaty the fishermen of either c iuntry are. prohibited from fishing within three miles of their neighbours' coast ; but the Bitti,l3 Admiraly have only provided one steamer this season to cruise between the Humber and Berwick, and protect 150 wiles of coast. Of course, all the best fishing is within three miles of the laud, and, as the crews of the French loggers ex ceed in number the men on board our boats three t., one, they have literally the possession of the herring fishing, and do ac they like ; for it is tint found that the one solitary steamer can keep up any sort of regulation along such a solitary line of coast. HARVEST HOMES. On Thursday, Sept. 3, the second annual celebration of the Harvest Home, on that better principle which eTe hope in time to seegenerally adopted by all parishes, took place in the village of Buxton, near Norwich, under auspices far more favourable than the heavy rains of the preceding day had led us to expect, and with a success equal to that which attended the festivities of beet year on a similar occasion, having been honoured with the pre sence of the Lord Bishop of the diocese, who had ac cepted the invitation of the Rev. W. J. Stracey, vicar of the parish. The sun gave its warmth and cheerfulness to the scene, which was one of animation especially in the grounds of the vicarage, where a capacious tent bad been gaily prepared for the entertainment of nearly 500 guests, and where a pretty triumphal arch was erected over the entrance to the lawn. At 10 a.m. the large assembly of labourers, with their wives and children, met together at the Lodge Farm, where a procession was formed, headed by a capital brass band provided by Messrs. Collins, of Lamas, which was followed by a car, bearing an ornamented wheat-sheaf, then came some of the children belonging to the national school, and after them the different companies attached to the farms in the parishes of Buxton and Oxnead, each one preceded by their chief, carrying a banner, on which was painted a suitable motto. On entering the village church the large concourse of people were conducted to their seats by the churchwardens, and we could not but admire the simple, but tasteful decorations which had been male—the screen entwined with corn, the pillars wreathed with oak leaves and acorns, and the white banners, on which, in red letters, were inscribed appro priate texts from Scripture, and were crowned with chap lets of wheat ears, arranged on either side of the whole length of the church. As soon as the bells had ceased the national anthem was well performed as the opening Vo luntary, while the officiating clergy, followed by the Lord Bishop of the diocess, walked to their respective seats. The daily morning prayer was read by the Vicar, the musical portion of theservice being sustained by the parish choir, who in the chorus "The Heavens are telling," taken from Haydn's Creation, exhibited such a precision and skill as must rank them far superior to the standard ordinarily attained by our country choirs. While the 100th Psalm was being sung the Bishop ascended the pulpit, and at its conclusion proceeded to deliver, from the text, leaiah,jth chapter, 34 verse, "They joy before Thee actor rug to the joy in harvest," a most eloquent and impressive sermon, which was listened to throughout with the deepest attention. His Lordship, in addition to treating the subject with special reference to the happy occasion, and setting before his hearers the nature and cause of true Christian thankfulness, concluded his most excellent discourse with a persuasive appeal in behalf of the two great Church Missionary Societies, representing it to the congregation as a most fitting opportunity for rendering a thankoffer ing to the gracious Giver of all our spiritual and temporal blessings. The appeal was liberally responded to by a collection of upwards of 8/., which was equally divided between tl a Society for the Propagation of the Gospel and the Church Missionary Society. At the conclusion of the service the young organist performed the Hallelu jah Chorus, and the merry peal again rang forth from the old church tower, while the procession was reformed as before, and proceeded through the village to the vicar age lawn, where soon the ample supply of roast beef, plum pudding, and ale vanished at the attack of nearly 500 guests. When grace had been said by the eiear at the end of the repast, "The Health of the Queen" was given with three times three, and the choir singing the National Anthem. The Rev. Win. Stracey then proposed "The Health of the Bishop," to which his lordship replied in terms which won the attention, as well as the hearts, of all, assuring his hearers of the pleasures he was experiencing on this the first occasion of his presence at a harvest home of the kind, and conclud ing his remarks with the presentation of the first two prizes on the list, a Bible and a Prayer-book, addressing the aged recipients in most kind and impres sive language. The next toast, given by Mr. John Wright, who headed the table on the right of the vicar, was " The Health of the Committee," to whose praiseworthy efforts were mainly attributable the arrangements and success of the day, and here, too, the party constantly evidenced their pleasure by re peatedly cheering the warm and hearty expressions coming from so old and respected a parishioner. A harvest song was then sung by the choir, and thanks were briefly re turned by members of the committee, The last toast of the day, which was admirably given by Mr. T. R. Allen, was " The Health of the Labourers and their Wives and Families, to which a venerable parishioner of their own class responded. The band, with its enlivening strains, now attracted the people outside the tent, and after due time had been allowed for the indulgence of the smokers, the sports began, consisting of foot-racing, wheeling barrows blindfolded, jingling matches, throw ing weights, &c. ; to the winners in which prizes of some value were distributed, such as agricultural im plements, gowns for their wives, waistcoats, &e. After tea and buns had been partaken of, a very supe rior display of fireworks was exhibited by Mr. Baxter, of Norwich, and this concluded the festivities of the day, in which both high and low would seem to have shared. The numerous party quietly se parated to their respective homes, after having given three hearty cheers for their vicar ; and thus ended a very happy day, blessed, we trust, by G. sanctioned by the cordial support of the bishop of the diocese, and profitable in many ways to the labouring poor. A FRENCH V.EvartAx.—" Among the old'soldiers who bave applied at the Chancellerie of the Legion of Honour for the Saint Helena medal," says the Constitutionnel, " was an old man named Harmond, resding at La Chapelle St. Denis. This veteran, who is 107 years of age, has a white beard which descends to his waist. He still walks with a firm step, and with his head upright." A NOBLE REWARD.—Thomas }lichens, the fisherman, who was the means of saving the Exmouth, ninety gun screw ship, when embayed among the rocks in a cove near Kynance, in April la t, has been rewarded by the Admiralty with the sum of Si. for saving an English line-of-battle ship with a crew of 700 or 800 souls. A LARGE FAILURE.—A letter from Prague of the sth, in the Wanderer of Vienna, says :—" The house of Pol lack has declared itself bankrupt. Its assets amount to 100,000f15., and it, liabilities to 340,000. Yesterday the house of Randers also failed with a deficit of 90,00011 s." The cere'..nony of the inauguration of the statues of the poets Wielan 1, Schiller, and Gor,he took place on the 4111 at Weimar, with great enthusiasm, in presence of a numerous crowd. This feeling was excited by the ani• mated speeches delivered by the Aulic Councillor Schoell at the statue of Wieland, and by M. Heiland, director of the Gym/lase, at those of Schiller and Gaithe. The Grand Duchess solemnised this fete by, appropriating sum of 10,000 tbalers for the foundation of a deaf and dumb asylum. THE BELFAST RlOTS.—Every evening since Sunday there has been a continuance of the riot in Belfast. The rabble broke the windows of several churches on Monday and Tuesday night. Collectors were sent round among the Roman Catholic population to gather subscriptioLs for the purpose of meeting the fines imposed upon their co-religionists by the magistrates. The town is now quiet, however. LIMERICK AND ENNIS RAILWAY.—The works on this line are progressing satisfactorily. The embankments are almost completed and the line railed in several parts. The rails have been laid down permanently from the junction of the line near the city termini to the it a bridge which crossed the Shannon at Corbally. A locomotive will be placed on the line in a few weeks. It is expected that the line be opened to Newmarhet oe-Fergus in the end of October.—Munster Nets. ACCIDENT FROM WINDOW CLEANING, -- Yesterday morning a frightful accident occurred to ayoung woman, named Jane Frazer, servant at Milfoyle's, Barnsbury road, Islington. It seems the young woman was en gaged cleaning outside the second floor window, when she fell on to the spikes of the area railings which entered her thighs, and she hung suspended for a moment, when the flesh tore away, and she then descended on to the stone flags beneath, her skull being fractured. No hopes are entertained that she can survive.

THE WASTE GROUND OF NEW FAERINGDON-STREET. —Oa Wednesday night, at a meeting of the board of governors and directors of the unite.] parishes of St. Andrew, Holborn, and St. George the-Martyr, hel t ut the board room, Gray's-inn-lane, Mr. linger in the chair, Mr. Watson moved a resolution: —" That a committee be appointed to wait upon the Board o f Weeks for this district and f r the district of Clerken. well, to urge upon them the necessity of their pressing the c , rt 0 ation of the city of London to take active measures to encourage the covering of this waste ground in Saffron-hill, Saint Sepulchre, wand vicinity, as speedily as possible." Ills reason for bringing for ward the resolution was the great injury the neigh bourhood sustained from so many houses being pulled down, and the ground allowed to lie waste for such a long period, of which his neighbours deeply c,mplainei. The probability of the Metropolitan Rail way Company requiting the ground was now at an end, as the Great Northern Railway Company, on account of the Recipath swindle, and the Great Western, on :ceount of the diminution of their dividend, were unable to ass st the Metropo!itan Railway Company in carrying tut their scheme. From his experiencs of the corpus - tion of London they we-re very slow coaches utiles., pushed on. The Act far making the new street was passed 20 yews ago, and when the Clerkenwell commis sioners could not carry it out it was transferred to the city, and ai additional tax !ail upon coals to defray the cost, so that the corporation were acting as trustees for the benefit of the public. It had been computed that 1,600 houses had been pulled clown for making the new street, which, at an average cf 10 persons to a house, m tal3 a popula; ion of 16,000 persons displaced to seek a ho a elsewhere, but some had estimated the number of persons Eying in these at four times that amount, and the money they expended was very important to the neigh• bourhood. depopulation had caused a great increase in the decd taxation upon the remaining inhabitants. There was the strongest necessity for pressing the cor porati ,n to sell the land for balding, to complete the im• provements for the benefit of the public, and put an end to the injury sustained by its non-completion. Mr. W. Cottle st,conded the resolution, which was unanimously adopted. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-4This Day.) CITY SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.) THE RULES OF COURT.-CAUTION TO DEFENDANTS. WOOLLET V. HINCK. This was an action to recover the suni of 261. for goods sold. Mr. Huddlestone appeared as counsel for the plain tiff, and the defendant appeared in person. The defendant said that be had paid the money into court, and complained of the extra expenses ho bad been put to through the engagement of counsel and the fees of hearing. The Solicitor's Clerk said that the brief was not de livered to counsel till mid-day yesterday, in the hope that defendant would settle, but be had not done so until the last moment, nod it was necessary to pay the he.gring fees before plaintiff could apply to the Court for coats. Mr. Huddlestone said that there was a notice on the back of the summons to the effect that unless the judg ment was confessed five days before the day of hearing, he would be subject to further costs, therefore the de fendant could not plead ignorance. Defendant said the costs would be 9 or 10 guincae, and he had never disputed the debt, but from a pressure of circumstances he had been unable to pay; but he had dealt with Mr. Woollet to the amount of Peve r a I thou sands, and he could not believe that Mr. Woollet had pi essed matters to this point. Mr. Huddlestone said that the professional gentlemen who instructed him were far above going on for costs. The Solicitor's Clerk said it was necessary to emploY counsel, as the Court would only hear attorney or coon eel. His Honour said there was no rule to that effect ; be would hear any one who could give evidence, Defendant said he bad repeatedly admitted the debt, and had written to the plaintiff's attorney to that effect. His Honour read the letter produced, and said that it was without any other evidence sufficient to establiell the ease, and therefore there was no necessity for retain' ing counsel. The Clerk said that the defendant might have denied the case in tote, or not appeared at all. Mr. lluddlestone said that the case if properly de' fended was not quite so easy as defendant chose to snake it appear, for if defendant had resisted great additional expense must have been incurred, and which must have fallen upon himself ultimately. Ilia Honour said that defendant had not complied with the rules of the Court, and must therefore bear the consequences. The learned counsel had been retained , and he must be paid, and all costs out of pocket, but nothing for preparing the brief. COSTS OF ACCOUNTANTS IN BANKRUPTCY-SAFFEIa V. DEWING. This was an action tried yesterday, and is of con• siderable importance to persons baying their affairs settled by accountants. The plaintiff wa , , described 5 4 an accountant, and sought to recover the sum of 101. for services rendered on the defendant passing through the Court of Bankruptcy. Mr. Clarke, of Bedford-row, appeared for the plaintif f, and Mr. W. R. Buchanan, Basinghall-street, for the de fendant. From the evidenco it appeared that the defendant was made bankrupt last year, and Messrs. Palmer and. Saffery were enagaged as accountants and pr e• pared the balance-sheet, but the plaintiff charged for preliminary business to the amount now clain 3 e 6 although a hill to the amount of 431., bad been laid before the Commissioner, and which comprised the same items—another action was pending in th e j Int names of the partners, for a balance of the account. The plaintiff was cross-examined by Mr. Buchanan+ . and admitted that so soon as a pe rson was fi r st in cony' he was " beset" by accountants engaging to do business cheap, but he denied that he agreed to take any su n !, allowed by the Court. A. bill was made out in the name' of the partners for 431., to be shown to the Commie' sioner, and he allowed 101. out of the estate, but de' fondant was to pay any difference. Mr. Clarke said that the bill was merely wa d . ° out to show to the Commissioner, but not to abs: the defendant from the preliminary business done by th e plaintiff individually. Mr. Buchanan put in a bill delivered subsequently to the examination meeting, which was also made out j i l t the name of the firm, giving credit for the 101. receive d ' and throwing off 51. on the original bill. Mr. Buchanan contended that the first bill was made out to deceiv e the Court; ho also objected to the charges, which War 4s. per hour for the principal and 2s. 61 p er hour fo r each clerk. He considered these monstrous charges, f e n ! any young man had only to dub himself an see eantan', and get nearly 2 guineas a day, and his clerk 11 a dsl' but such were established charges in that profession. The plaintiff admitted that the larger bill was made _ out with a view of getting a larger allowance from the Court. Mr. Buchanan—ln fact to mislead the Court. His Honour, on comparing the account, said it wee_ clear that the charges in all the bills had reference to the same work, and plaintiff could not recover individual l y , and must be nonsuited. The jury said something was due, no doubt. His Honour—No doubt, to the partnership. Nonsuit entered. PALMER AND BAFFERY V. DEWING. This was the second action for 171. 10 ~ the balauee on the joint account. A. discussion took place as to proceeding with the case.
