MONEY MARKET AND COIW Fa ER JAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, Two o'CLocK. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed quietly, and prices were without any materiel al teration. The sties amounted to 6,000 bales, 1,000 of which were taken by the speculators. The Railway Share Market closed with a steady appentan.co, at a slight improvement in the rates of all the leading stocks. Although the produce markets may be considered quiet, there is a steady demand for all the principal articles of consumption, and prices, consequently, remain firm. Sugar, at publtc sale, is readily dis posed of, especially inferior kinds, which are wanted for exportation, and most kinds realise previous quotations. The Dutch Trading Company's sale held in Holland yesterday consisted of 22,312 bas kets of Java, which went at about 6 guilders be low the rates obtained in July last. This reduc tion brings the quotations down to the currency here. Coffee and tea are firm, and rice, though dull, is not cheaper. Saltpetre has been at enhanced prices, indigo is maintained, and tallow remains heavy. We alluded yesterday to the failure of a private banking establishment. It is that of Messrs. Harrison and Watson of Hull, an old and respect able firm, whose embarrassments it is presumed, have been chiefly caused by imprudent advances in the Hull Flax and Cotton Mills Company, now in process of winding up. This concern bad a capital of 337,5001., but it now owes 280,0001. on deben ture and banking account, and has expended 360,0001. on buildings and machinery. This result Was wholly unexpected, as dividends of 122 per Cent. have been paid, and some of the shareholders, dreading the responsibility of their situation, would be glad to give a bonus of 201. per share to transfer their liability. .No statement has been made as to th e assets and liabilities of Messrs. Harrison and 'Watson. The directors of the Mercantile Bank of India have announced a dividend of 5 per cent., and bonus, being equal to 7 per cent. for the half-year ending the 30th June. A further improvement took place on the Paris Bourse yesterday, the 3 per Cents. having closed at 67.30 for money, and 67.35 for the end of the month. Railway Shares generally advanced 10f. to 15f. It is said that a demand has arisen for Itussian. Railway Shares, and the price is 5124- per WO franc share. _ _ At the meeting of the shareholders of the Gee long and Ballarat Railway Company to-day the resolution for winding up the Company, passed at th e former meeting, was confirmed. The sum re turnable will be 11d. per share on the whole capital. The Money Market is rather easier as regards th e demand, but full rates are still paid for discount accommodation. An increas , cl inquiry will no doubt soon prevail, owing to the preparations for the 4th of the month, and the specie remittances to India and China at the same period. There is no new feature to report in connection with the English Stock Market, which remains lu a most inactive state. Business is at a com plete stand, and the quotations are almost honainal. No revival is anticipated until the Overland Mail is announced, when the course of quotations will be defermined by the nature of the intelligence. The public, as investers, as well as the speculators, keep aloof, and the market, al though dull, continues steady. Consols for trans fer have been 90 to 94 ; and f,r account, 901 -a. India Bonds, under 1,0001., are marked 255. dis • count ; and Exchequer Bills are 10:s. to Gs. dis count. Several transactions have been recorded in the Forei g n Market, and prices are generally firm. Turkilth 6 per Cents. are marked 941 H, and the 4 Der Cent. guaranteed are nominally steady.

Mr. Roxburgh appeared for the company to oppose the granting the order, and Mr. Chidley and Mr. Linklater for the shareholders. Mr. Roxburgh took a preliminary objection to the order being made, that the shareholders had taken all the steps necessary for a voluntary winding-up of the company, and the appointment of a liquidator. A pre liminary meeting was held on the 14th of August, when a special resolution was passed for the voluntary winding up of the Company, and a liquidator appointed at a second meeting held on the 15th of September, and therefore became a binding resolution on all the slare• holders, having been agreed to by three-fourths of the shareholders at the first meeting. He therefore con tended that no contributor was afterwards at liberty.to present a petition, and that the Court had no power to make an order which would practically rescind the reso lution of the shareholders. Mr. Linklater, on behalf of Mr. Wtryghte, followed on the same side, and further urged that the petitioner was present at the first meeting, and ,was very ac tive in adopting the resolution to which he assented, and therefore he was not at liberty to present the petition. Mr. Chidley, for several shareholders, also argued that the Court had no power to make the order, as although the petition was presented on the 14th of September, the day before the resolution was confirmed —he" contended that the proceedings for winding up must date from the 14th of August when the first reso lution was passed, and the confirmation was only required of absent or dissentient shareholders. _ _ _ His Honour—By the 34th section it would not be a special resolution unless confirmed. Mr. Chidley urged that all the shareholders might be present at the first meeting, and then the word confirmed might be used in a limited sense. His Honour said he quite agreed with Mr. Chidley as far as he went, but then what would be meaning of the words special resolution? Mr. Lawrance was heard at great length, and said that at the first meeting no accounts were presented at the first meeting, and the shareholders never had any until the 10th of September, when one was presented by Mr. Wryghte. He contended at great length that he hae made out a pinta facie case for calling on the court to exercise its jurisdiction, as the company had lost more than 3-4ths of their capital and were unable to pay their debts. The case was proceeding, but will no doubt be ad journed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. —(This Day.) MANSION-HOUSE. EXTENSIVE EMBEZZLEMENT BY A CLEFS.—Richard Knowles, 18, lately a clerk in the employment of Mr. Benjamin Bateman, metal-broker, Cannon-street, was brought up for further examination upon a charge of trnbezzling various sums of money, amounting to 2001., the property of his employtr. The evidence previously given went principally to prove that, on the 15th August, a cheque for 2001. was given to the prisoner t pay into the company's bankers to their account, but that, int.tee.d of so doing, he cashed the cheque, and only paid in 1001. to the com pany's account, appropriating the other 1001. to his own use. The cashier to the London Joint Stock Bank, now proved that he cashed the cheque with a Bank of Eagland note for 2001. Mr. Bateman said there were several other ease, which, however, he did not wish to go on with, as the one already gone into would probably be sufficient. The prisoner, who had nothing to say, was then com mitted for trial. GUILDHALL. A young man respectab y dressed, and wearing a moustache, named James G. Bauer, was placed at the bar before Mr. Alderman Hales, charged with receiving stolen goods. It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Demuth, a fo reigner, that he carried on business, in partnership with another gentleman, at 20, Lawrence-lane, City, as im porters of foreign goods. A cousin of Mr. Demuth's, who is in this country for the purpose of acquiring the English lang cage previous to his emigrating to Australia, has for the last three months been iu the habit of assist ing the prosecutors in their business, and had free access to their property. From a communication made last night to Mr. Demuth, he went to his cousin's lodgings, No. 17, Vincent-terrace, Islington, when he found him and the prisoner together. At prosecutor's request, the prisoner left the room, and in his absence he spoke to his cousin, asking h►m if he had any property of his in his possession, and he replied that he had, and took from his pocket a bundle of lace collars of a valuable description. The cousin admitted that h 3 stole the articles at the instigation of the prisoner, and that even for some time past he had robbed his relatives, giving the property to the prisoner to dispose of. Mr. Martin (chief clerk) asked if the thief was pre sent I Mr. Beard, from the office of Mr. Buohannan, said he wag. Mr. Martin—Why has he not been given in charge for the felony t Mr. Beard said it arose in consequence of the prose cutor, in his conversation with the prisoner, speaking to him in a manner to induce him to believe that if be spoke the truth no proceedings would be taken against him. It was therefore thought not desirable to give him into custody. The prosecutor was again questioned as to his con versation with his cousin, and it appeared he promised not to proceed against him if he spoke the truth. After sore further evidence the prisoner was re manded. MA.EMBOROUGEI-STREET. ROBBING A SOLDIEII.—Sarah Saunders, Mary Slade, and Eden M'Carthy, three women of the town, were charged before Mr. Bingham with stealing a silver watch, the property of Thomas Vaunce, a soldier be longing to the Grenadier Guards. Tile prosecutor state I that about half-past 11 last night ho was proceeding through Leicester-square, on the way to his barracks, when the three prisoners came up and accosted him, and before he was aware of their intentions the prisoners Saunders and M'Carthy gave him a violent push in the side and felled him to the ground, and before he could recover himself they broke his watch from the guard chain, and ran off. He pur sued them for some dist ance , calling out "Stop, thief," and came up with them in Castle-street, where ho seized hold of Saunders and M'Carthy. The other prisoner was stopped by a constable, into whose charge he gave her two compani ons . Rickards, 127 C, said he apprehended the prisoners, who were searched at the station, but the watch could not be found. The soldier was not quite sober at the time. The prisoners denied the charge, and were remanded for a week. WESTMINSTER. DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT or A PAUPER.—Margaret Fulmen, a stout, powerful, hearty-looking, middle-aged woman, was charged this morning with very disgraceful conduct in the branch workhouse of St. Margaret's, Westminster, York -street. Mr. Maggs, the master of the house, said that the defendant came yesterday from the main establishment at Kensington in order to go before the Board. He remarked when he saw her that she was much intoxi cated, and when before the Board she became so insolent and abusive to the governors of the poor that it was found necessary to remove her, which was a work of some difficulty. She subsequently wilfully broke a pane of glass. Mr. Paynter—Was she an inmate of the house at the time Under what circumstances was she applying to the Boar d ? . _ Mr. Maggs—On the 7th, while in the house at Ken sington she had leave of absence, and while out got so drunk that she could not go back, and it therefore became necessary that she should receive a fresh order of admission, and she had to go before the Board re specting the matter. She was removed to the proba tionary ward, and was to be sent to Kensington this morning, but she conducted herself so disgracefully that she has been brought here instead. Defendant—l was not drunk. Sarah Carnego, who has charge of the probationary ward, said that defendant made use of filthy language, and although told that she was to re t urn to Ken sington on the following morning, wilfully broke a pene of glass. Defendant again stoutly denied the drunkenness, although clearly proved by three witnesses. Mr. Paynter said it was such conduct as defendant's that hardened the hearts of persons against the poor. She was committed for 14 days. THAMES. ATTEMPTED MURDER ON BOARD THE AMERICAN SHIP " NORTH AMERICA.—This day, Primus Garrison, a black, was charged before Mr. Selfe, with the following violent assault on Thomas Howard, a mate on board the North America, au _American ship lying in the East India Dock. intoxicated, and wa 8 s in It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner was cook in the vessel, and had been but a short time on eoe seeing his condu c t, the first an o'clockthe noyg somepri soner, b o o f a t r h d pwah L sos a e s we t ga sei night,slightly between e oi t nn w tx r mate told the complainant to dir, ct him to desist. He, prisoner went into the galley, and swore if any one came there he would murder him. The complainant went there, when the prisoner raised up a hatchet and gave complainant a blow on the back of the head with it. Mr. Selfe asked complainant if any serious injury was inflicted I Complainant replied that ho had a cut, and that a great quantity of blood flowed from the wound. He was struck with the back part of the hatchet. The pri soner had previously said he woull kill him. E lward Evans, first mate, - said that ho heard the prisoner when on the galley say that he did not care a d—n for him, and that he would cat down the first man that came near him. Complainant observed, "I atra man enough for yon." Had. not the force of the blow been prevented by the arm of another person, complain ant would have received a serious blow. Mr. Selfe (to the prisoner) .What do you Eay to the charge Prisoner—l was tipsy. Mr. Selfe—You might hare killed the man. The prisoner was fined 31., or, in default, one month's imprisonment. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY. TUXFORD, THURSDAY. An accident, attended with fatal consequences to four persons, and considerable injuries to several others, occurred onthe mainline of the Gt. Northern Railway to-clay, about noon, to the express train from Manchester to London. The train, which consisted of engine and break van, second-class carriage, composite carriage, first class carriage, and break, passed Tuxford station at about the right time, and had proceeded nearly two miles further, when on ren.nine• ' over the via duct which crosses the Newark and Tuxford road something gave way,—it is supposed au axle,—the engine became detached from the carriages and bounded forward, while the vehicles separated into two divisions, the first of which, comprising a second-class and composite carriage, heeled over the embankment on the south side of the viaduct, while the hinder portion of the train, after strik ing against the buttress of the bridge on the north side and breaking off the stone cap and upper brick work, fell down with a tremendous crash on to the turnpike road below. The first two vehicles made a complete somersault and alighted with the right side up in a cottager's garden, one or two of the pas sengers were much injured, but the majority escaped, and the carriages were verylittle damaged. The other three vehicles, including the break van, were lite rally smashed to pieces, all the upper timbers being entirely stripped off the platforms, while the break van had fallen upside down, and the wood was crushed almost flat on the ground. Such assistance as was at hand was rendered as promptly as possible, and messengers were despatched to the nearest stations and to the nearest medical men. Four of the passengers were taken out of the debris quite dead ; three others were so seriously wounded as to be scarcely fit to be re moved, and all the rest of the unfortunate travel lers in this section of the train were more or less severely injured. The dead bodies and one or two of the worst sufferers surviving were removed to the Newcastle Arms, Tuxford. The remainder of the patients were taken to Retford. The following is a list of the casualties ;—Killed—The Hon. W. M. W. Clive, brother to the Hon. R. Clive, M.P., who was also in the train ; Miss Letitia Paget, Gorton Lodge, Garston, Liverpool ; Mrs. Heaton, 18, Queen-square, Lancaster; Mrs. Pitman, wife of one of the Great Northern Railway Company's officers, who sat next to her when in the train. Wounded—Capt. Marshall, who was going to 203, Bath-buildin g s, Glossop-road, London, one eye knocked out, his wife and child escaped with bruises. Mr. J. Dansfield, hatter, Waterhead-mill, near Old ham, one of the town council of that borough, frac tured sibs aud internal injuries—bad case; John J. Bourn, near Cambridge, compound fracture of right arm, internal injuries, not expected to recover; Wm. Dyson, the guard of the train, fractured skull, internal injuries, not expected to recover; Mr. Sworder, Hertford, fracture of anele ; Mr. C. S worder and Miss Sworder, slightly injured ; Mr. and Mrs. Peace, Sheffield, contused wounds on the he ad ; Mr. J. Hangus, Castle-street, Sheffield, cut and bruised, returned home • Richardson, servant to Mr. Wm. Wingham, of lentchin, slightly injured ; Mr. Wing ham was in the train and was se in walking on the line after the accident, but he ha; not been heard of since ; Mr. B. Rayner, commercial traveller, in ternally injured ; Mr. Jas. Smith, traveller, head hurt a good deal, but not seriously ; Miss Marr, daughter of Mr. J. Marr, 18, Queen-square, Lan caster, slightly injured ; she was travelling with Miss Paget and Mrs. Heaton, one of whom was her aunt, and both of whom were killed. The head of one of the ladies killed was crushe 1 quite flat ; the face of another was cut in two from top to bottom. A gentleman's boot, wet with blood, was seen on the road, as it had been cut off. A newspaper, smeared with blood, was also found. Numerous articles belonging to the passengers were picked up, and forwarded to Retiord. The officials of the line, acting under Mr. Leith, superintendent, were incessant in their exertions to mitigate the sufferings of the passengers ; the line which was broken up for a distance of about 50 yards was repaired within four hours after the accident by a staff of men under Mr. Sturrock. There have been several accidents between Tux ford and Newark, the last of which occurred dur ing the flood about two months ago, hut this is the first fatal passenger accident that has ever occurred on this line.

THE MURDER IN LEIGH WOODS.—BRISTOL ' Thursday. —lmmediately upon the identi fication by her fellow servants of the clothes of the deceased woman, Mr Superintendent Handcock set to work to obtain a de scription of the murderer. He traced Beale as having lived at several places either as butt , r or single-handed servant, and is enabled to give the following somewhat minute account of him :—His Christian names are be lieved to be John William. He is about 30 years old, 51t. 4 or sin. high, slight make, thin face, pale complexion, hair nearly black, worn long and turned under at the back of the head, small black whiskers, dark eyes, good teeth ; dressed in black frock jacket with pocket out side the left breast, double-breasted black waistcoat, and black shepherd's plaid trousers, made very large at the feet. He is flat-footed, has an awkward gait, and turns his feet out very much when walking. He wore an old fashioned silver watch and mas ive silver Albert chain, and a ring with red stones on the little finger. He has lived in several places, and is well known in the neigh bourhoods of Clifton and Bath, and is supposed to have recently come from Daventry, Northampton. The amount of money which the deceased had with her has not been ascertained. It has been discovered that her boots were soled by a shoemaker named Burt, residing near St. James's Church, Bath. He identified them as Charlotte Pugeley's, who lodged at his house for a short time before going to her last situation. There is rea son to believe that, very soon after the committal cf the murder, Beale started from Bristol for Liverpool, and if so, it is to be feared that he may have sailed either for New York or Australia, at both of which places he has Nalatives. A VISIT TO NANA SAHIB. (From the Illustrated Times.) We have received some additioul interesting particulars respecting Nana Sahib from a corre spondent, who writes to us as follows : As that arch-fiend and traitor, Nana Sahib, at present occupies a portion of public attention, and I may add, execration, ind as I know him well, having partaken of his hospitalities for one month, I have no doubt my recollections of him and his affairs may be interesting to the majority of your readers. I therefore subjoin an account of my so journ with him in his den, and of the circumstances that led thereto. Cawnpore—a place, alas ! now so disastrously familiar to British ears—was visited in the rains of 1853 with a most fearful epidemic ; the cholera carrying off, in the European corps in that station, sometimes as many as eighteen individuals (includ ing women and children) daily, and in other por tions of that large cantonment being fearfully fatal. I do not know of any officer of that corps having succumbed to it, but I believe the surgeon, whose name I forget, died. However, to return to the subject of my notice. Being at that time recover ing from illness myself, and my wife being also sick, I was pondering on some change of air and scene, and having nothing else to do, I drove over to see Bhithoor, about twelve miles (choa koss—six koss-- a koss being two miles) from Cawnpore. I started in a gharrie, a sort of fly, early on the morning of the Ist of September, 1853, and arrived at the Rajah's house, or rather one built for a former 'Commissioner. It was a large and hand some building. At the entrance of the domain were a pair of very handsome iron gates, and the gateway itself was as imposing as one in the best parks in this country. The approach also to this mansion was by a very pretty rather than a grand avenue ; and on the right-hand side of this drive was a very neat parterre, kept in as good order as _ any of its size at home could be. an arriving at the house, I produced my basket of " prog," and _ commenced breakfast. This being a place Of resort for pic-nic parties from Cawnpore, I, of course, at once sent off a note to the Rajah, telling him of my arrival, and, as a point of courtesy, asking his sanction to my passing the day there. I had scarcely finished my breakfast when I heard the noise of horse; on the fine gravel parade in front, and was somewhat astonished to see, not the humble envoy I had sent in the shape of my sirdar .. . _ bearer, but two or three individuals, accom p anied by a retinue of native sowars, with drawn swords, prancing steeds, and other showy indications of Oriental military display. These individuals proved to be his Highness the Maharajah's—or as he, for obvious reasons prefers to be called, the Peishwah's —Moonshie, Prang Doss-Tewarrie • the treasurer, Baba Butt ; and another old Mahratta distin guished personage, whose appearance I well re member, but whose name I quite forget. I was then informed by the moonshie, Prang Doss-Te warre, that his Higness was delighted to receive mu with cordiality and welcome, and that he had sent them formally to request my presence at his palace (the castle which is spoken of as having been burnt down by Havelock's glorious baud of heroic spirits) in the evening, when the sun had rendered it cool and pleasant for Europeans, and indeed natives, to howrkana—i. e., "To eat the air." After some conversation, interspersed with most flowery and higliflown, and no doubt equally empty, compli ments to my nation and countrymen in general, and my humble self in particular, my guides left me, and I amused myself by lookingover the house and grounds. The former is very large, and the rooms spacious and handsome ; the walls are . . _ _ covered - with stiff odd-looking Pictures of former Peishwahs, and amongst them the old gentle man so ably captured by Sir John Malcolm, and the man who was the first exiled chief located at Bhitoor. I must not omit to state that a khitmut gar and bawarchee reported themselves to me during the day, and requested my hoolon—i.e., commands—for dinner, as it was his Highness's wish, as L might be detained until too late to travel back to Cawnpore that night, that I should sleep in the commissioner's house. And as the sun was going down, up came an elephant, caparisoned in the usual tawdry and semi-shabby magnificent style, am mounted by a howdah of towering height; and upon this huge anima!, myself and my wife were perched, and escorted by a guard of sowars in front and rear. We were marched through num berless bazaars and native streets to the stronghold of this potentate. I was asked into the august pre sence of the soi-disant Peishwah, and found him seated upon a cushion raised somewhat in the form of a throne of state, he (the magnate) sit ting as a tailor is supposed to sit. He imme diately shook me cordially by the hand ; and I must not omit to state that, being myself a Ba hadoor—that is, of the rank of one who wears a sword—l was not required to remove my shoes in going into his presence. He, through his moon shee, asked me many questions about the Queen, the nobility of England, particularly mentioning and asking after Lord Ellenborough (Burro.' buh out Berra Lord Sahib), for whom, whether he knew him or not, he seemed to have a great re spect and veneration. Whether this was assume' or not, I cannot say. He then asked me many questions about the Hon. East India Company, and appeared exhaustless in his queries about the Board of Control. These lasted about half-an hour, and he then requested that I would make myself at home in his house, and remain as long as I pleased. He himself supplied me with a staff of servants, and furnished my bazaar—living and board—daily. He was, when I saw him, about 28 years of age ; he looked however at least 40. His figure is very fat—in fact, the very expression made use of by his own moon shee was , that " His Highness was a tight man (king adniee)." His face is round, his eyes very brilliant, and restless ; his complexion, as is the case with most native gentlemen, is scarcely darker than a dark Spaniard ; and his expression is on the whole of a jovial, indeed somewhat rollick ing character. NANA SAHIB'S HAREM. During the time I was occupied in making my salaam to the Mararajab, my wife was conducted into the zenana. She thus describes her visit of course this holy of holies was close to my pro fane eyes ;—" I was ushered into a room in the most retired wing of the castle, through a series of doors, each door being closed and bolted imme diately on my passage through. I arrived at last before a large and handsome quilted crimson silk cur tain (purdah), which being drawn aside,- I en tered a large room, the floor of which was covered with beautifully white linen, drawn tight, and fas tened at the four corners of the room. I was in troduced into this 'santum sanctorum ' by no less a person than his highness's treasurer, Baba Butt, who, after introducing me, left me to commence a conversation with the apparently stolid inmates of the zenana. The walls of the room were one mass of mirrors from the ceiling to the ground. The only furniture in the apartment were three Bareilly couches, ton one of which sat a child about seven years old, dressed in yellow gauze, the whole of whose breast was covered with pearls, to the amount of three lacs of rupees. The feet were bare, the ankles were adorned with large and heavy bangles' (rings of gold), each worth about 5,000 upees. The arms were also covered with the same description of ornaments of different sizes, ex tending from the wrist to the elbow. This young lady was very shy, hung down her head, and seemed much abashed at the formidable apparition of an European lady of the ninteenth century. She was repeatedly urged to speak to me by her companions, who said, Speak to the English lady.' At last she mustered up the courage to say, Ap ka misaj, atcha by mem-sahib ?'—' Is your cons'itution iu good order ?' literally equiva lent, in fact, to our How d'ye do ?' This was said with her bead turned and eyes averted, in the manner of the most coy and prim school girl. The other two inhabitants of the zenana, or harem, were a girl of about 1.3 years of age, and one about 17e--dressed iu similar style and ornamented with similar jewellery. buck a liberal display of precious stones—at least on these ladies—failed to produce anything splendid in effect, none of the wearers being good-looking, even for native women ; the eldest, indeed, was repulsively ugly, with long ear yellow teeth. This lady, who app spokeswoman of the party,g l ared to be the and particularly affable, asked me my ag e, and in retu a m mia to b l l d e me hers. " I was offered by all t hese nymphs native sweet `Whether the meats, 4r,c. They asked m e numerous questions E n d n g lan d ; princes' w amongst ivee (Boetghtemrse w others, ewere a l a b d o i u e s t a be hind a purdah—secluded —as they were ; and on my telling them that they went about with their faces perfectly visible in public, they seemed muc h astonished, but said it was Bout atcha,' Very good ;' and seemed to imagine this would suit them very well, and I must say that three plainer faces, I should imagine, never were secluded behind a purdah. Poor things, I pitied them ; and after a little more conversation, under difficulties ' I made my parting salaam, and s h a ki ng h an d s with all round, I retired. They expressed afterwards the pleasure they derived from the interview, and the moonshie (Prang Dos-Tewarrie) often spoke of their having repeatedly quired for me since. The two elder of the ladies, I was told, were married (shadee) to nephews of tilts late Peishwah, but bad eo family. They said indeed to me Hurinnerah pas koule baba nay by,'—i e., We have no chil dren.' This seemed to distress the elder lady much, as she appeared, and expressed herself to be, vety fond of children. The most astonishing thing was, that the child of seven years obi had been be trothed for some time, I was informed, to a grand. 20 all 11 all St. 100 St. 100 20 all 10 all 12A 5 . ; 100 25 all 25 all St. 100 10 I 1 10 i 1 St. :100 St. 100 50 all 25 I all 100 all 25 all 50 9 20 all St. 100 50 3 St. 10) St. 100 St. 100 St. 100 St. 100 z 5 , 25 1.61 50' all St 100 St. iOO 10 31.1 all 1 all all I all 83i 33 4 3i 61i 31 30i 96 3 4 7 3 88 121 A 97i i 51 3i 1A 4 1031 4 961 651 z d 47 q 6 5 181 18 FOREIGN MINES. 20 7 Australian 35 27 Brazilianlmp.(issued at X 5 pm) 30 all Do.

Thus ended my wife's interview and mine ; which, though a very cordial and clamorous andience, was withal a somewhat stupid one. After it was over, we mounted an elephant and went to our new residence, which for ono month I found very comfortable. The Rajah Nana Sahib made his appearance about breakfast-time, and usually - brought some handsome flowers or valuable fruit,' and his emissaries besieged me daily with a long account of the wrongs he had experienced at the hands of the British Government, by their having stopped the pension granted to former Peishwahs on the demise of the late one, his reputed father, he being the adopted son. This kind of life con tinued for one month, at the end of which time I returned to Cawnpore. I did not see the soli-disant Peishwah again, but he sent a gharrie and an escort to bring me from Cawnpore to _Bhitoor, at twelve. o'clock on the last night I staid in Cawnpore, which was about the end of January, 1854. , I knew Nana Sahib intimately (says a writer in the Illustrated Times), and always regarded him as one of the best and most hospitable natives in the upper pro• vincee, and certainly one of the last men to have been . guilty of the atrocities laid to his charge. A.s is the case with many natives of India, it may have been that Nana Sahib cultivated the acquaintance and friend ship of the Sahibs solely in the hope that through their influence, direct and indirect, his grievances would be redressed. But the last time I saw Nana Sahib —it was in the cold weather of 1851, and he called upon me twice during my stay in Cawnpore—he never once alluded to his grievances. His conversation at that tine was directed to the Oude affair. The fol. lowing questions, amongst others, I can remember he put to me : •' Why will not Lord Dalhousie pay a visit to the King of Oude ? Lord Harding. did so. "Do you think Colonel Sleeman will persuade Lord Dalhousie to seize the kingdom (of Oude) I—He (Colonel , Sleeman) has gone to the camp to do his best. So far as I could glean, Nana Sahib wished for the annexation of Oude—albeit. he expressed a very decided opinion that, in the event of that measure being resorted., to, there would be a disturbance and perhaps a war— such as happened when Mr. Vans Agnew and Lieute nant Anderson were murdered by the rebellioassoldiery of Moolraj, at Mooltan. A fsw words as to the nuns of Nana Sahib, which after all, is not his name, but a "nickname." His name is "Sreenath," and amongst his retainers and friends he is addressed (in correspondence) as "Maharajah Sreenath Babadoor." Few Hindoos of Nana Sahib's rank are ever alluded to by the name given to them by. the Brah• min at the time of their birth. In most cases the nick name, or pet name, that clings to a high caste Hindoo for life, is the favourite word that he distinctly utters in infancy, in the zunana. In the cane of Sreenath, the subject of this sketch, there can be no doubt that, " Nene," or " Nana," was the favourite word of the child, who in manhood has gained such an unenviable , distinction in the eyes of the world. The word ' " Nene" has no particular signification, We are informed. But the word "Nana," in lltindostanee, signifies "grandfather." His retainers and servants used to speak of him as "Nena Sahib," and not "Nana Sahib." The grievance of the Maharajah Seernath was simply this :—The East India Company guaranteed to the late Peishwah, his heirs and successors, a certain pension. The Peishwah died without heirs born of his body, but previous to his death he adopted Sreenath (" Nana Sahib"). Now, according to the Hindu° law, an adopted son is entitled to all the rights and :pd. eileges of an heir begotten of the body of the deceased. According to the Hindoo law, " Nana Sahib" was entitled to the pension of the Peishwah ; but the claim, as before stated, was not allowed. It is a pity that the East India Company have not been consistent iu their decisions upon this head. In some, indeed in very many cases (where the pensions have been insignificant comparatively), the Hindoo law has been recognized, and the claim of the adopted von , granted. In other ewes (where the pension has been very considerable. or the amount of territory to be " absorbed" extremely profitable), the Hindoo law has been shelved and the claimant favoured with a letter from the secretary to Government, informing him that the " GrJvernor-General in Council has dismissed his petition, but that the ordinary channels of redress are open to him." He sends home an agent, who haunts the India House and the Beard of Control. At both places be is "referred to the local Government"—the local Government which has already decided against him. Such has been the case of Naua Sahib ; such has been the case of the Rajah of Coorg ; of the Ranee of Jhansi, where another frightful massacre took place ; and such has been the case with numbers of Indiana of rank, with whom we have not dealt either wisely or well. Far be it for us to offer even the shadow of an apology for the authors of the atrocities which have plunged nearly half of the nation into mourning ; but, at the same time, we cannot forbear expressing our opinion, which is now generally felt and acknowledged, that to the gross mismanagement of our Indian Empire, and the manliest injustice of which the East India Company has been so frequently guilty, may be mainly attri buted the deplorable state of affairs which noW exists. teraisc U tte.

INTERESTING RELIC OF PRINCE CHARLES STUART.—. In the public room of the Caledonian Hotel Oban, says the North British Daily Mail, there is an antique oak chair, with the following inscription on a silver plate : —" This chair was sent by Lochiel to Prince Charles Stuart, on the occasion when the Royal Standard was unfurled to claim the Crown of his ancestors, at Glen finnin, on the 19th August, 1745." SIR JOHN BOWRING AND THE LORCHA ARROW.—YeT. terday morning was issued, in the form of a return to Parliament, a letter from Sir John Bo wring, dated Hong Kong, May 8, in which he replies to the technical argu ments which were advanced against his proceedings, dur iog, the debates in Parliament, upon the Chinese ques tion, before the dissolution. He concludes his letter in the following terms :—" I repeat then, that whether the Arrow was entitled to protection or not, the Chinese had no jurisdiction ; and their proceedings were unwarrant able, and to be resented. The expiry of the license did i.o. make the lc rcha a Chinese vessel, and gave the Chinese no right to interfere, except through the Consul. She could be a foreign vessel in their eyes. The papers, whether in order or not, were deposited at the con sulate, and if they had acted in accordance with the cinditions of treaty, and had put themselves in com munication with the consul, there would have been no collision. The papers granted were, I contend, of un doubted validity against any but British authority— the authority which alone granted, and which alone was entitled to withdraw, protection. If, then, the fact of the expiry of the license, of the right of the loroha to its renewal, did in no respect concern the Chinese, but the British alone, my action was a necessity—at all events pa far as placing the question in the hands of the naval authorities when I could obtain no redress." Loss OF THE SHIP FUSILIER AT ST. GOWAN'S HEAD —This iron-built ship, 500 tons burden, homeward bound from Valparaiso with a valuable cargo of copper and wool, was totally lost on Tuesday night under St. Gowan's Head, the crew having a miraculous escape. Captain Carmichael, the master, has made a sworn de position before the Admiralty receiver of wreck respect ing the loss of the ship. It is as follows :—" We sailed from Valparaiso on the 10th of last June bound to Liver pool, and proceeded on the voyage without occurrence of any note till the 9th or 10th of the present month, when they spoke the Dutch ship Hugo Urotius, from Batavia to Rotterdam, and they compared longitude and detected that one of the Fusilier's chronometers gave but 10 miles to the eastward of the Dutch ship. From that time till the 11th encountered winds variable and fresh, course E.N,E, northerly, with wind r e a e n e r i b n y g d f e r a o d m r eck .
