Sappers, &c., until twelve o'clock. —Signor PICCO will perform, at hal-past Eight and half past Ten, every Evening. services of Lord ELLENBOROUGII, in the existing crisis. It is true that the Noble Earl is a poli tical opponent. But such considerations should be disrogarded under the peculiar circumstances of the case. It is not as a reward for a political supporter that the high position should be bestowed. The best man is required, and the voice of public opinion almost unanimously de clares in favour of Lord ELLENBOROUGH. The existing difficulty is great, far greater in deed than has been imagined. We look too com placently on such matters ; are accustomed to re gard the most brilliant victories, even against odds of ten to one, as too much a matter of course, and to think that we have only to sit down con tentedly at home, paying our taxes, passing reso lutions sympathising with the sufferers, and ex pecting to have the work done for us without further trouble or inconvenience. We must put our shoulders to the wheel, and every man must consider how far he can help forward the State machine by his individual exertions. Lord ELLENBOROUQH offered a sound practical suggestion. He has pointed out the manner in which the young blood of England may be stimu lated. Let the militia be called out to a man, and by that means, and that alone, we shall obtain the best class of recruits. They may cost a little more, but this is not the time to look to matters of £ 3. d. We may be penny wise and pound foolish, and have to pay far more, for any undue parsimony. Lord ELLENBOROUGH bas clearly pointed out how every man may help the movement by obtaining re cruits for the regular army or for the militia. A distinguished Scotch clergyman—the Rev. Mr. Wm. ROBERTSON, of New Greyfriars, Edinburgh— turned the the Fast-day to good account in a simi lar manner. He explained that "on our army, humanly speaking, depended the future of India," and " that every brave man who joins that army is a benefactor, not only to Britain, but to India too." His admirable address proved that the Christian mother might safely send out her child on such a mission—that he would himself wil lingly do so ; concluding his spirited and exciting appeal with these words : " I speak not to others of a duty with which I would not myself cheerfully comply. Had las many sons as PRIAM, I should not shrink from seeing them all in arms for a cause which, from my heart, I believe to be the cause not of Britain and India alone, but of the world, of civilisation, of religion, and of GOD." It was amusing enough to observe the course pursued the other day at Stuttgard by Queen AMELIA of Greece. It was so perfectly character istic ! It evidenced such a watchful " eye to the main chance" on the part of that intriguing princess. It was altogether so cunningly and mys teriously transparent. We cannot for an instant believe that the real meaning of her Athenian Majesty's presence so very opportunely, a few weeks back, in the capital of Wurtemburg, can be misapprehended for one moment by the least sa gacious observer, whether his "point of view" be taken from London, or from Paris, or from Vienna, or even from S 6. Petersburg. Has anybody forgotten the sinister indications of the secret policy of OTIIO'S Government during the late bloody contest in the Crimea ? Indica tions so unmistakeably inimical to the interests of the Western Powers, and so manifestly favourable to the cause of the Russian A.TJTOCILAT that—even during the crisis of the struggle before Sebastopol —a certain small proportion of the soldiers of France and England had to be diverted from their direct advance towards the seat of war, and to be disembarked at the Piraeus for the purpose of watching grimly, sword in hand, over the good conduct of the Greek Government. The notorious reason for all this being, of course, the peculiar crotchet warping the ambition of OTHO'S Queen, in the matter of that problema tical question—the succession to the Throne erected nearly a quarter of a century ago by a whim of diplomacy among the classic ruins of the violet-crowned Acropolis. Childless herself, Queen AMELIA has a very natural desire that such an exceedingly good thing as a soeptre should not be lost altogether to her family, because of that one very tantalising circumstance. And as it so happens that her connexions are for the most part Muscovite, her sympathies, of course, tend for the most part towards an intimate asso• ciation of her own interests with those of the House of ROMANOFF. The "slope" of her ambi tion is decidedly towards St. Petersburg—just as the "slope" of Russia, according to the happy phrase of M. DE LAMARTINE, is unquestion_ ably towards the East. Whereupon t 3 carry out her own particular object, the QUEEN of Greece has striven pertinaciously in one direction for a considerable time past—an deavouring to accomplish her design now by fair means, now by foul, precisely as events might seem to afford her the opportunity. The " foul means" we had an agreeable specimen of, two or three years ago, when the Crimean war was com plicated for the Western Powers by that vexatious little episode of the Grecian embarrassment— namely, when the Anglo-French troops had to be landed at the Piraeus, instead of at Kamiesh and Balaklava, under the irritating circumstances al ready particularised. The "fair means" some of the European Sovereign's had a pleasant taste of, the other day, in the midst of the Royal festivities at Stuttgardt. Such is Queen AMELIA'S domitable perseverance ! Altogether presenting (to us constitutional spectators in England) a spectacle that would be very laughable were it not also at the same time very afflicting. Fur, after all, this particularly selfi3h and insatiabl6 ambition of the Greek QUEEN'S, signifies nothing more in itself than the old Feudal Creed not ydt wholly dead and buried—a belief still cherished here and there all over the Cmtinent—to the HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE. - - TH73 DAY Morn. 28 min. aft.

One of the most interesting and important letters which we have seen on the state of India, and the duties of Englishmen in reference thereto, has been addressed by the Earl of ELLENBOROVGIC to the members of the Winch combo Agricultural Association. It goes exactly to the point, shows what should be done in India and in England. It is now useless, aye, worse than useless, to depreciate the magnitude of the crisis, or to suppose that we can wash out the stains of blood, with rose water. It is not by sickly sentimentalism that we can get rid of the blot on the national escutcheon. We have had " a great war forced upon us, by rebels who would deprive all our countrymen of their lives, and England of an empire —where we placed our confidence we have been met with treachery— where we acted with kindness we have encountered murder—murder, not directed only against men by whom resistance might be made, and from whom wrongs might have been feared, but ex tending equally to unoffending, helpless women, to the children at their knees, and to the infants at their breasts—sparing none, and often inflict ing death upon the body with torture, where it had already more cruelly tortured mind." Lord ELLENEOROUGH has already been victi mised by the East India Company. He alone, in the present age, had zeal and energy sufficient to repudiate red-tapeism, and to act for the bene fit of India and of Great Britain without refer- enco to the prejudices of antiquated civilians. We need not say that the Company exercised a power which should never have been conceded them, to enforce his recal, and that consequently the country lost the service of the most able and energetic Governor-Geueral, since the days of CLVIE and HASTINGS. Sir CHARLES NAPIER was also treated in a similar manner. In his case, the directors were subsequently compelled " to eat humble pie," and effect simply (to be plain) that the Peoples it is by no means impossible that a like retributive are made for the Princes. Instead of exactly justice may pl te e Lord ELLENBOROUGH at the head 1 the reverse ! It is a very old story indeed— ! an exce e di ng ly venera bl e , no t to say absolutely ef th e A nglo-Indian Government. Lo- CA.NN ING i s man if es tly i nco mpetent. He decrepit' infat ua ti on .

LATE 'T NEWS left, the same port for - Cho China Boas in the early part of last month. A letter from Vie m-ia of the 11. th nays :—" It is by mistake that it has been announced that Count Valentin EsterLlzy is to be r.3placed as ambassador at St. Petersburg by e3,lTit Celoredo. Nothing has yet been decided on the subjce, and it is probable that no ambassador will be nominated at St. Peters burg until the difnrence relative to the priucipali - ties shall have been entirely removed." So—the redoubtable Prince, GUNTHER FREDERIC, rules the ducal domain of Schwartzburg Sonder hausen ! While the no less redoubtable Prince, FREDERIC G UNTIIER (literally this upon the infal. lible authority of the same Almanaeh de Gotha), sways the rod of empire, over the other ducal domain of Schwartzburg Rudolstadt ! So— to sum up a series of ridiculous illustrations (otherwise threatening to run off our hands in terminably as we write) by one supremely absurd instance---the puissant ALOIS JOSEPH directs the destinies of a sovereignty extending over just fip y three square miles, with a population numbering (again, observe, according to the last census) ex actly 6,351 individuals ! ! ! AUSTRALIA. Remembering all which nonsensical arrange ments, we really cannot wonder very much, on serious reflection, that a Queen Consort, nurtured in the midst of such old-world folly, should have come at last to look upon a crown and sceptre, pretty much as any fine lady may look upon tha glittering bauble ornaments in her jewel -case— _ things to be taken a wonderful deal of care of, and to be worn becomingly. What we do wonder at is How long all these same obsolete notions will yet be tolerated among a multitude of thinking men, supposed to be in some sort, enlightened ! As it is—the whole crumbling mass of rubbish, rotten to the very core, is only held together for a while by the glamour of that huge political In cubus (and Humbug) called Germanism. Russia is clearly bent upon availing herself o the present very tempting opportunity. opportunity is to every evil-disposed Muscovite no less manifestly than it has been before now, to certain wrong-headed demagogues on the other side of St. George's Channel—England's em barrassment 1 Scarcely have we found it incum bent upon us to declare war against the Chinese, than the entire Bengal Army (to the number of very nearly 100,000 fighting men) revolts, and our whole Indian Empire appears for the moment to be jeopardised. It becomes necessary, under these unexpected circumstances, to concentrate as rapidly as possible the bulk of our military forces in Hindostan for the reconquest of the ravaged districts and the punishment of the mutineers. The settlement of the Chinese difficulty has to be postponed for a while—namely, until such time as Tha the more urgent and more serious difficulty in Ben gal and the Western Provinces shall have been de finitively arranged. Admiral SEYMOUR has to await yet for some time in the Canton Waters for the long and eagerly looked for reinforcements. Go vernor Ymr has an unlooked for time of truce, during which he can vapour to his heart's con tent, as becomes a Celestial Viceroy of the Emperor of the Red Uumbrella I Ambassador BOWRING has to tarry in his turn, as patiently as he may, in his little stronghold at Hongkong. Even Lord ELGIN, sent out in hot haste (to settle recent differences, if possible, without having re course to cold steel and gunpowder) in his capa city as Minister Plenipotentiary, finds the time hang so heavily on his hands at the very period when a crisis is raging at Calcutta, that he ventures upon a little private episodical expedition to that capital of our Asiatic possessions, just to see how Lord CANNING is getting on, and to discover if he can be of any use to Governor-General, to Supreme Council, or to Commander-in-Chief. An apparently bewildering embarrassment like this to England could not possibly appear to Russia otherwise than a most tempting and alluring opportunity. Wherefore, we don't wonder in the least t 3 find the Northern Bee—[that unmistakeable Bee in the Bonnet of Absolutism !]—beginning to cal culate frankly upon the probable advantages likely (according to its perverse view of things) to result from all this to the Cabinet of St. Petersburg. Consequently —remembering what Russia notoriously is and has been for the last century, any one may recognise at a glance what is really meant by the specious arguments recently put forth by the Northern, Bee in reference to the position of Eng land between the Indian and the Chinese difficul ties —arguments wound up in the manner follow mg :- 1 "In the interest of all Europe, for the vindica tion of the superiority of our civilization as com pared with the Chinese, it is indispensably necessary to make good this failure of the English to the beat of our power, and by energetic measures convince the Chinese, once for all, of the superiority of Eu rope over their country. To this end the opening of direct negotiations with the Pekin Government, as well as of a course of action to be observed to wards it without the intermediation of the provin cial governor, is urgently necessary." A magnanimous declaration like this (may we not venture to add ?) coming to us as it does first from the Northern, Bee is—just all Hum I Imagine for an instant how very beneficial to England would be the tendency of the " direct negotiations" of Russia with the Pekin Government;! Conceive for an instant the salu tary aid to be derived by us from so exceedingly opportune and desirable an intervention Re flecting upon all which, we can only ejaculate— " Save us from our Friends !" Yet the neces sity of doing something a little more directly to the purpose than utter mete ejaculations that might be readily taken for granted, is sufficiently apparent, we take it, when, in addition to this sinister " hum" of the Bee, comes to us the know ledge of the much more sinister fact announced almost simultaneously in the Nord—that Admi ral PIITIATIN has received instructions to repair to Shanghai with the Amoor Fleet ; the said Admiral having, at an earlier period, been in trusted with an extraordinary mission to Pekiv, contrary to the wishes of the Chinese Goven ment. Aware of theso very suspicious Sayings and Doings in the North, it behoves us, in the midst of all our Eastern anxieties, to keep an ever watchful eye fixed unwinkiugly upon the Russian Government.

Of the Bombay establishment Colonel Penny, Captain Spettiswoode, and Cornet NeWbury, of the Bombay Lancers, fell at Nusseerabad ; and Lieutenant Nicolscn and Ensign Ileathfield, of the 27th Native Infantry, and Ensign Stubbs, of the 9th, at Kolapore. Very little is known of the casualties in the Punjaub, and the foregoing het only includes three who fell there, Of those who have been reported as severely wounded no subsequent accounts have been received except in a few cases. Of the 18th, 28th, and 41st Bengal Regiments very little is known ; but it is feared that nearly all the officers who were with these regiments (at Bareilly, Shabjehanpore, and Seetapore) have perished. It is also feared that a considerable proportion of the officers in Lucknow may have fallen. They consisted of the officers of the Queen's 32d and of one company of the 84th, of the Bengal 13th, 48th, and 71st, of the 7th Cavalry, several officers of the Engineere and Artillery, and of the Oude Irregular Force. No complete list can at present be compiled of the members of the military families who have met an uutimely end. Of the uncovenanted service it is known that Dr. Buck, of the Bareilly College; Mr. Tregar, of the Delhi College ; Mr. Stroyan, Assistant Commissioner in Oude ; Mr. F. Hulbard, Professor of Agra College, and many more have been murdered. Among the persons unconnected with Government Mr. Fleetly, editor of the Delhi Gazette ; Mr. Tandy, late secretary of the North-Western Bask ; many merchants and traders, and Mr. Newlands, the photographer, have been killed ; and th e following list has been published of missionaries who have fallen victims :—The Rev. A. R. Hulbard, of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, and the Rev. J. Mackay, of the Baptist Mission at Delhi ; the Rev. W. H. Haycock, and H.

Of the civilians who have fallen the following is be lieved to be a correct list :—Simon Fraser, D. Robert son, T. K. Lloyd, R. T. Tucker, G. D. Raikes, R. B. Thornhill, J. P. M'Whirter, C. J.

The following is an extract from a letter dated Umballah, Aug. 25 : "I have just helped on a heavy train of siege guns-- 24 gnus and mortars of heavy calibre, and 1,200 cart loads of shot and shell. They should leash Delhi about the 6th Sept., and, allowing them a week for getting them into position, the attack may possibly take place about the 15th or 20th.

BERLIN, OCT. 15. The health of his Majesty goes on improving, and only one bulletin a day will now bo pub lished. It is reported in Paris, but needs confirmation, that, in consequence of recent convention, the Russian naval force in the Chinese waters, which has been lately increased, will, in future, combine its operations with those of the English and French squadrons. Letters from the frontiers of Asia announce that General Jacob, who commands the English troops which wens charged with watching Herat, had evacaated AtTghanistan, and had arrived at Moultan,.in the Punjab, on the 17th August. FRANCE. PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING. The following observations in the Constitutionnel interpret the sentiments with which the government and people of England regard the possession of India. Our contemporary has perhaps exagge rated the influence exercised by the fraction of the Paris press hostile to England on public opinion in Groat Britain, and it would be wrong to infer that the alliance has suffered in the least from the igno rant raving s o f those journals : "Every day passed without some success on the part of the insurgents is of inestimable value to England, and it is very natural that the last mail from India, precisely beeauSe the news has been comparatively insignificant, has caused some degree of satisfactio n . E very one, however, is prepared for the worst, and courage increases with the danger. The French journals which speculate on the loss of India for Great Britain are certainly at liberty to enlarge on that hypothesis, which, however, h as no good foundation. But one thing alone can remelt from such a line of conduct : that is, the revelation of a bad feeling, which is at least impolitic and unworthy of us, for what in fact is hostility vented in words ? The well-informed journals in England, as in France, are few in num ber ; the cheap papers badly edited are innumer able. The inopportune attacks directed against our neighbours on the subject of events iu India by two or three journals in Paris have been taken for the ex pression of the sentiments of the great majority of the French press, by those badly informed English journals, which are lay far the most numerous, and which exer cise a considerable influence on the masses. The few French joarnals to which we allude have therefore given a wrong opinion an to the feelings of our country ; they have lessened very gratuitously, and without any kind of compensation, the sympathies which we possess in England. Perhaps, after all, they bad no other object and no other hopes. But if they have really flfctured to themselves that England was about to be definitively driven out of India, it was impossible not to feel astonishment at such a great mistake. All the present garrison of India, all the functionaries, the residents, all the army of reinforcement, might be mas sacred and annihilated, but Great Britain would not for that abandon India. Even a European war would not make her renounce it, and in 20 years, as at the present moment, she would be rea iy to sacrifice ships, treaeuree, and soldiers to re - establish hsr sovereignty there.

The Frankfort Journal, in spite of repeated col tradictions, maintains that a protest has been ad dre!sed to the Porte on the subject of the late elec tions in the Principalities by the ambassadors of England and Austria, It says : "The document in question is composed of two parts. The one, which is official, demands in a diplomatic form the annulment of the elections ; the other, which is non official, points out the reasong which should induce the Ottoman Governmeut to adopt that measure. In this litter part the eirgagetuent at Osborne is brought fur ward as a principal argument. M. Thouvenel on being informed of the existence of this note was very desirous of knowing its contents. Ile applie I both verbally and in writing to the Ottoman Minister of Foreign Affairs, but Aali Pacha declared that he was not authorised to make the note known." Our Frankfort contemporary adds to the above " It appears, however, that this document is not in tended to impede the march of affairs in the Danubian provinces, but that M. do Prokesch and Lord Stratford do Reddife merely wished to declare that they al , o had the right of protest, because the same faults which the representatives of the four other powers found :n the an nulled elections also characterise the new ones. The inf rsation which we have received from our correspon dent does not allow us to doubt but that the Austrian and British representatives are well justified in the step they have taken." • . • The latrst account rece:vei from Per3ia an nounce that the Shah, who is at Niaveran, has the intention of visi'ing the province of Khorassan as Fo , n as the cold weather shall have set in.

The Queen left Edinburgh at a quarter to 8 yes terday morning, and crossed the Tweed at a quar ter atter 9. The weather at first was cold and rainy, with an east wind, and has settled into a dense fog. The time was kept to a minute to Berwick-on- Tweed. Her Majesty reached Doncaster at 2.33. At Peterborough the train arrived at 4.20, and a change of engines having been made, the Royal passengers resumed their journey and reached Biggleswade at 5.24, arriving in London at half. past 6. Her Majesty, ,to obviate the neces sity of her passage through the streets of London, proceeded from the Great Northern Railway, near the New Cattle Market, on to the North London line, and thence on to the London and South- Western, by means of a junction at Kew, en route to Windsor Castle. Her Majesty was attended by the directors and Mr. Seymour Clark, the general manager of the Great Northern Railway. The Royal train consisted of the Great Northern Company's suite of state carriages, with three ordi nary first-class carriages. The attendants on the Royal party were Lady Churchill, Hon. Flora Mac donald, Major-General the Hon. Charles Grey, Colonel the Hon. C. B. Phipp , , &c. ADDRESS TO LORD JOHN RUSSELL. BIRMINGHAM, Friday.—This afternoon a meeting of the Liberals of Birmingham was held in the cowmittee-room of the Town Hall, for the purpose of presenting an address to Lord John Russell. His lordship having arrived, Mr. George Dawson proceeded to road the document. which expressed the grateful remembrance of the inhabitants of Birmingham for theservices he had rendered to the cause of political reform, and a hope that he might long be " spared to consummate those political and religious reforms with which his naine will over ho associated." Lord John Russell in reply said Allow me to express my gratitude to you for the honour you have done me by the presentation of this address. I feel exceedingly sensible of the honour done me by those who represent the Liberal party of the town of Bi mingham. lam quite aware how very imperfect at best have been my services in the cause of rd form, and I am equally aware of the laity me which your town exerts in promoting the of jects which we have in common at heart, and I think it, very desirable that that influence should ho ri tamed and increased. (Cheers.) I can assure you that I have pursued a course which was 1, t all events in consonance with my own opinions, and if I have differed from you in some things on which the Liberal party has not been united, it was that I might promote the welfare of the country in that manner which I thought the best—(hear, hear, and. chee:s.) And there is that respect fir free discussion in this country that we are will r:g to allow each other to promote what we console, - tionsly believe to be right in our own way without imputing on the one hand insincerity, or on the other hand, inconsistency. I have Iv, itten down a few words which I intended to read to you in answer to the address, and with your permission I shall read them. His lordship then read as follows : " Gentlemen, —I beg to return my sincere thanks for the address you have done me the honour to present to me. "I appreciate highly the good opinion of en lightened men of the Liberal party, and I shall b happy if I am able iu any degree to promote objects of political and religious freedom which we hope to attain iu common."

THE LATE MYSTERIOUS DEATH IN THE REGENT'S CANAL.—Last evening an inquest was held at the Quceo's Aims public-house, Twig Folly-bridge, Bethnal green, res p ecting the dent's of a man , unknown, who was found dead in the Regent's-oanal, near the Victoria park. The jury, although the case was involved in mystery, returned an open verdict of " Found dead in the Regent's-canal, but when, how, or by what means the deceased came into the water there was no legal evilenee to show." THE LATE I►OR1?IBLE MURDER AND MUTILATION. LATEST PARTICULARS—(TITIS DAY.) We regret to find that the valuable information contained in Mr. Richards's letter, published by us yesterday, relative to this murder is tlicig!it of so little importancethat the police appear to have thrown it and its contents completely on one side. Their efforts to discover the murder have been highly lauded this morning by a contemporary, on the ground, of an apparently official communication, that the inquiries made by Mr. Superintendent Durkin of the Glasgow police relative to Mr. H. Patterson, result in their informing him that the last time they saw Mr. Patterson was on the 15th of September, and that they don't think that the dress found in the carpet-bag corresponds with that worn by him when they saw him. The London police, therefore, it appears, take it for granted that if Mr. Patterson was alive, and at Glasgow on the 15th ult., he could not have been at Stafford on the 29th. What more likely, when we consider the ostentatious display of wealth indulged in by Mr. Patterson at Stafford, that ho did the same in London, which might have induced parties t o track him till a convenient opportunity arose for sacri ficing the man for the sake of his money. It is strange if Mr. H. Patteron be alive, and in Eng land, that be has not communicated by telegraph with the police. Such stupid blundering as that shown by the heads of the police in this case is most disgraceful, and yet, strange to say, their conduct has bean applauded where it ought to have bean censured. Acquiescing in the force of our remarks made a few days since, and acting on our suggestion, Professor Taylor has been instructed by the Home-office to make an examination of the re mains, with the view of ascertaining the sex of the person murdered, and, if possible; the cause of death. The examination is not yet concluded. The inquiries made this afternoon at Bow-street station convince us that so long as the case remains exclusively in the hands of that branch of the police force the perpetrators of the murder will never be discovered. For the sake of the force generally, and especially those portions of it whose previous conduct in matters of this kind have justly earned for them the respect and admiration of the public, we call npon them to throw all official delicacy aside, and set their minds earnestly to work na unravelling ~this most mysterious! affair, feeling confident that if they do so, the matter will be speedily set at rest by the apprehension (if it be a murder) of the actual murderer or murderers. LAW INTELLIGENCE. --(This Day.) His Honour—Then I understand you that the appointment of the additional direct() rs was in violation of a distinct understanding. Mr. Fleming said it was so, decidedly ; for the object of the appointment of the committee was n o t on ly to investigate the accounts and consider whether neW directors should be appointed, but also whether the afra;ra of the company could be successfully carried out, and ho complained of the breach of faith on the part of the directors. His Honour did not see that he had power to make an order. The directors asked for an adjournment and if he made any general order to prevent them from actively interfering it would be inoperative. Some specific matter must be stated. Mr. Fleming said that all that was required wap„, that the committee should be placed in the same position es they were before at the last meeting. Mr. Jones thought that it was understood he wag supporting tho views of Mr. Fleming. He applied for an ajournment, considering it was the best course, but if Mr. Fleming liked he was willing to go on, but the company wonld be ruined. Mr. Fleming said ho should aot agree to go on with ,he case. Mr. Jones said he would not consent to be placed under any terms, and the shareholders could as ea s ily di miss the whole of the directors as some. After a long discussion, His Honour did not think that he ought to make aril order imposing conditions on the directors, and though that an adjournment ought to take place, if there Was any prospect of carrying on the business of the Gardena successfully. The case was ultimately adjourned till the 16th of December at 11 o'clock. Mr. Levy appeared for Madame Caradori, and bir• Palmer, a shareholder and creditor. IMPORTANT OASE. Mr. Chidley applied, in a case of a public compalli being wound up under the act, that one of the contribn" tories should lee struck out of the list, as be bad been induced ; being a creditor, to become a shareholder, 1)1 4 he had been induced to do so by misrepresentation' Mr. Chidley argued at considerable length, that, according to the decision of the Vice-Chancellor, the Contributor! who had become so through fraudulent misrepresentr tion— His Honour said that ho could not take newspape r reports in such important cases. _ _ Mr. Chidlay said the case was quoted in the iict° Tinter and legal papers. His Honour said ho could only look on the case in :the same way as in a case of partnership o f A, B, C, and D. If a creditor catne in to prove for credit given to the four, he of course could do O. The fraud upon kby A B C did not ;move the resPclP sibility and liability from D. ; but when all the creditors had been paid the question would arise as to the fraud between the partners. Under those circumstances a shareholder or contributor was liable to the claim of A creditor, and could not be expunged from the list. THE FESTIVAL OF THE MOHURRUAL A private letter from Pondicherry, dated SoPti 4, says : • "In ordinary times the first ten days of the lunar month of the Mohurrum are, as regards the Mum'!mango a period of over-exlitement, and frequently of disturb . auce. Fears were entertained this year that the frmati °ism of the Mahomedan portion of the population would impel them to greater excesses in consequence of the military mutiny. These fears, however , were amine' ous, for the population of Pondicherry exhibited so excel:eat spirit.

(Before Mr. Commissioner Pane.) THE ROYAL SURREY GARDENS. To-day was appointed for hearing further arguments on the question whether the affairs of the above coin 'parry should be wound up under the powers of this court. Mr. Jones appeared for the company, and said that he had but few observations to make. Since the last meeting in this court a meeting was held by the ebare• holders to investigate the affairs, and the meeting was then adjourned till the 2d of November. He (Mr. Jones) therefore proposed that the present meeting should be adjourned until after the latter date. Mr. Fleming, for the shareholders, objected, and said that a committee was originally appointed to investigate the accounts, and to consider whether the directors ought to be removed ; but, as that committee was not deemed by some to he impartial, another was appointed, and ho considered that the directors had committed fb breach of faith, having since elected three additional directors. He therefore urged that, should the meeting be adjourned, some conditions should be annexed, so as to prevent the interference of the directors with the pro ceedings of the committee. s I
