BELIEF FOR THE INDIAN SUFFERERS. KINGTON. A public meeting was held on Monday last at lifilner'is Hotel in this town for the purpose of pro moting a subscription in aid of the fund for the relief of the sufferers by the Indian mutiny. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir G. C. Lewis, occupied the chair, and there was a good attend ance of the aristocracy and gentry of the town and neighbourhood, including . Rear Admiral Sir T. Hastings, C. 8., Mr. J. K. King, M.P., Lady The resa Lewis, Lady Hastings, Mrs. and Misses Ki ng , Mrs. Pilkington Dawson, alec. Sir G. C. Lzwes said—lt seems to me that this is an occasion which at once recommends itself to all your feelings, which does not req u i re an y rheto rical amplification on the part of the person where duty it is to state to you tee object of the meeting. We all know what a great catastrophe has fallen upon our Indian empire. Every one who reads the daily' papers must have peruse t with a shudder the dreadful details of the atrocities which have been commited by the insurgent soldiery of that coun try upon our unhappy countrymen, upon military officers and upon civil servants, their wives and children, who have been suddenly attacked by those whom they believed to be their faithful and obe dient servants and defenders. We know from these details that the English residents in India—a class of Persons habituated to an affluent and comfortable life—have suddenly, by the cruelty and treachery of tie Sepoyregiments, been many of them deprived of their property, that others have been treacher ously assassinated, that their families in many cases have been reduced to want and severe privation, and that misfortunes have accumulated upon them which would command the sympathy of an English and Christian public. Plunged suddenly in the ex treme of suffering by this unexpec'ed blow, they have displayed the utmost heroismand courage, and in no respect have they been wanting in those qua lities which an English soldier or the servant of an English Government, placed iii such circum stances, ought to have exhibited. (Heir, hear, hear.) In this state of things can it be doubted that a response to the appeal which has been made to the country will arise from all quar ters. Even if the condition of our countrymen were less deplorable than it is, even if we did not know that such sad cases of distress have arisen, we should at all events be willing to exhibit our sym pathy with the sufferings of which we read the daily accounts in the newspapers. Perhaps there may be some who may be inclined to take a less favour able view of the merits of our unhappy country men, who may say that they were the means of carrying on a Government oppressive to the native population of India. We read effusions to such an effect in some of the Irish papers, and some of the organs of the ultra-Catholic party on the Continent. Far from exhibiting any sympathy with the suffer ings of Englishmen in India,: they exult over them as a righteous r e t : ib u ti on or what they represent as so much tyranny and oppression exercised by our Government. So far, however, from any such feeling having been generally exhibited, I think that England may justly be proud of the sympathy which has teen exhibited in her favour by the voice of the civilised world. When I read articles which have appeared in French, in German, and in Ame rican newspapers, not expressing any ungenerous exultation in the temporary misfortune of this country, but sympathising with the suffer ings of the servants of the English Government in the East, I cannot but rejoice, though I scarcely expected ever to see the day when the base feelings of international jealousy would have been so much weakened among the great nations of the wore], (Hear.) Neverthelesa, there have been symptoms of a different feeling. Now, we naturally ask our selves what it is that the naives of India complain of when they have raised the standard of revolt, when they have committed atrocities which the pea must refuse to write, the tongue refuse to utter, and over which the decirum of am dern civilization compels us to throw the veil ? What is it that the natives allege as their justification fur committing these atro cious cruelties ? I have been much struck by reading a proclamation which appears to have been posted up in the town of Cawnpore by one of the leading insurgents against English government in India, whose name unhappily has become too fami liar to us—l mean Nana Sahib—a man with respect to whom it would be a libel upon the brute creation if we were to describe him as a mixture of the ser pent and the tiger. I think that proclamation throws some light on the motives of the Ilindoos for at tempting to throw off our government, and its au thenticity does not appear doubtful. The right hon. baronet here read the notorious proclamation of Nana Sahib, and then continued—lt is very curious that the Sultan of Turkel-, who is here supposed to have a sympathy with the Indian insure. nts, has shown his sympathy with the sufferings of English men in India, by contributing 1,0001. towards the fund which we are met to promote. That procla mation shows the cause of the insurr - ction to be one of religion, for ne complaint is made that the English have plundetedtho natives of their posses sions, that justice has not been administered, that the civil and military officers whose wives and chil dren have been so treacherously murdered have not properly discharged their duties. Nothing of this sort is alleged, but it is sai 1 that an attempt is being made to destroy their religion. Now, un doubtedly there was a measure taken by the mili tary authorities upon the introduction of an im proved musk t into the army which led to the un f iunded beli-f that there was an intention on the part of the Government to destroy the creel and the caste of the Hindoes. That intention, I need not say, did not exist ; but the appearance gave an opportunity to designing men to create among the native soldiery the beliet that such a design was en tertained by the Government. Intriguing men worked upon the simple minds of the sepoys ; and the fact that such an event was used as the meaosef poisoning their minds against British rule proves that there was no substantial ground of complaint, —that the forwidab'e 'mutiny that now exists did not arise from any ground of misgovernment which could in any sense be said to justify or to excuse an iusurrecti n, or a resistance to Government in any ferm. to sly nothing of the atroci ins cha racter which this insurrection has assumed. But whatever may be the c qi-e of the insurrection we must all agree th it the investigation of it must be postponed until a future psriod. What we are now called upon to do is to assist our countrymen, and to suppress the mutiny by ell the means in our power ; to restore tranquillity to the country, as well as to afford protection to our countrymen. I do not suppose that frortepne end of the country to the other a sing'e voice has been raised in favour of submit ing to the resistance which has been m ide to our legitimate authority, yet let us put an hype -I theticil case, and ask what would be the condton of India if we were to withdraw from the cluntry an i leave it in the,power of the Sepoye. The Chan cellor here read extracts from a letter of a native which was published in The Suit of the 18th Sept., showing since Delhi was in the hands of the muti neers every species of oppression had been prac tised, therich houses and shops had been plundered, A number of poor shopkeepers killed for asking the proper price for their things, that the bazaars were n .t opened, that the shopkeepers and citizens curse the mutineers from morning to ewning, that work men starve, and widows cry in their huts, dec. Now I can hardly (continued the right bon. bare.) con ceive a more striking picture of anarchy, of confu sion, of injustice, and of rapacity than is penned in these few lines ; and we may hence judge to what we should leave India if the protecting power of the English Government were withdrawn—for be it observed that India has fur centuries past been governed by foreigners. It is long since the people have been ruled by native princes, and it is merely a question with them whether the Government should be transferred from the English t ) the Mus autumn invaders, who preceded our rule. It has been said that property has its duties as well as its right, and so it may be said with equal truth that conquests has its duties as well as its rights. By conquering and keeping the continent of India we have contracted certain important obligations to w ade the natives and inhabitants of that country. Without any reference to oar own interests it is our duty, so fir as we aro able to do so practically, to govern justly and to the advantage of the vast population f that extensive country. The struggle which is going on in Indi a i s not, in my opiniore to be regartkd s imply as a struggle of the British against the Ma "meaaha and the Ilindeos—not is simply e against the S `' ''y g mutineers ; nor 0 0 ,f ,iun ti , ris bu ti t a i n t it i y s t a h g e a c i o n a st . it still less th Mahomedauism and ttat of aivilisetion againf t barb ar i sm. (Hew.) It is an attempt of the European Gose!.ntnent to intro duce just and equi'able rule among a great Oriental populations. (Applause.) If the account could be eland anti - India, and th e made. up between En, balance struck of the benefits wh i ch England ha s derived from India, and the benefits which Indi a ;voted Lai derived from England, I cannot doubt it _ be found that the preponderance would lie in favour of India and against England ; that our ru'e, wintt_ ever ohjeetion may be mode t o it i n detail, would be found to have conferred greater benefits upon the people of Ind:a trim England, in its turn, has dt rived from the Government of those large pro vinces. (Applause.) Mr. K. KING , M. P., moved a resol u ti on expres sive of sympAth with the sufferings of our fell° w count, ynien and conntrywomea in India, and re marked that there could be no doubt that the re cent events wculd 1 ad to a very extensive change iu the government of the country, and to the r. er g sn'sa ion of the.lrd an army. Mr: 0. W. ALLEN seconded the resolution. Sir T. HASTNCVF3 ) C. 8., moved the -- neat resolu- tion, appointing means for raising a subscription, and corrended at some length against an assault of Delhi, depicting in glowing language the horrors which must inevitably ensue. Mr. MTIVORS seconded the resolufon. Other resolutions were also proposed, and at the close of the proceedings the Chancellor of the Ex chequer expressed the satisfaction with which he heard so eminent authority as Rear-Admiral Sir T. Hastings state his opinion that no advantage would be derived from a precipitate assault upon Delhi, and that the ultimate reduction of the town might be considered a matter of certainty with the ap pliances and resourcesofpivilised nations. He would not say ( , ne word which would seem in anyway to deprecate criticism, either in public meetings or in Parliament, upon the conduct of the present Go vernment of India. They -would be prepared at the proper season to defend their conduct; and to show that they had used all proper means for main taining the legitimate authority of the Crown in India, and for defending the lives and properties of its subjects. (Hear.) But he must remark upon the state of things when this mutiny broke our. We had an army consisting of 290,000 men, of which 50,000 were Europeans, and 240,000 were n dives. The population of India was reckoned to be about 150 millions, and he believed there were about 10,000 civilians. Everybody must see that such a state of things was most perilous, although it had been succe.sful for many years. Neverthe less, to attempt to govern so extensive a region and so vast a population with an army of only 50,000 Europeans, together with a native army of 240,000, on whose allegiance we had hitherto implicitly relied,—and relied, too, with the concurrence of the best judges of the Indian character and the Indian population —was a perilous experiment ; and when that native army, at least that portion of it in the provinces of Bengal, • suddenly turned against tri, it was hardly to be wondered that the state of things should become very dangerous. We had, however, the gratification of s'_eing that the insurrection had been almost exclusively confined to the army—that the native population, which we were accused of having so grievously misgoverned, had for the most part shown no disposition to join the mutineers. (Applause.) The subscription list was then opened, and up wards of 2001. was soon rstalised, the Chancellor of the Exchequer heading the list with a subscription of 1001. fii E SUN, 1.0 NDON, WEDNESDAY EV EN IN G, SEPTEMBER 30, 1857 MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—Sept. 29. (Before Mr. Creasy at Westminster.) William Brewster, 46, was indicted for feloniously embezzling three small sums of money, which he bad received on account of Henry Lovibond, his maser. Mr. Metcalfe appeared for the prosecution.; Mr. Rib ton for the prisoner. • The prosecutor was a brewer at Chelsea, and the prisoner was in his service as carman and collector. The receipt of the money he was charged with appro priating to himself, instead of paying over to his master, was clearly proved. The Jury found him Guilty, and Mr. Creasy sentenced him to ten months' hard labour. The pros Pen tor stated that his loss altogether amounted to about. 1501. Isaac Hadfield, 22, midshipman. was indicted for steal ing two rings, of the value of 11. 55., the property of Mary Ann Madley, single woman. Mr. J. P. Doyle prosecuted. Mr. Metcalfe appeared for the prisoner. It appeared that the prosecutris, who belongs to that class c f females termed "gay," fell in with the prisoner, who had than recently come ashore, in Regent-street, and they proceeded to the Surrey Gardens, and ulti mately passed the night together at a house where she lodged, in Milton-street, Dorset-square. Next day he took her to the Crystal Palace, paid the fare and all expenses out of his own pocket, treated her well, but, un fortunately fell in love with two rings which she was wearing. While playing with her band he asked her to take the rings off that he might try if they would fit his fingers ; she objected to do so, but at last yielded to his solicitation, and took them off. He got them on his fingers, and then protested he could not get them off, and regarding this as a mere joke, she allowed him to wear them for the day. Oa arriving at London-bridge on their return from Sydenham, he told her to wait for hima few minutes; but having waited nearlyan hour she gave up all hope of his return, and wended her way home ward minus the rings. Some weeks afterwards she met him in the Haymarket, when she took him by the collar, and said she would give him into custody. He twisted himself out of her grasp, dodged under a cab horse, and got clear away. A week afterwards she again met him in the Haymarket, and demanded her rings. He refused to give them up or say what be bad dune with them, and on her threatening to give him into Custedy he said if she further annoyed him he would give her in charge. A policeman was close by, and the pro. eecutrix charged the prisoner with the felony, and he was locked up. lie admitted having had the rings, but de nied that he had acted feloniously. The prosecutrix stated in' her evidence that the money with which the 'prisoner paid for what. they had at the Crystal Palace - he obtained from her, and in fact took her purse as well as the rings. Mr. Metcalfe, in his address to the jury, said what ever opinion they might entertain of the prisoner's con duct, it would be going too far to say that he had been guilty of a deliberate felony. Hs was a midshipman, bound on a merchant ship, and having leave ashore, he got into the company of this young woman, and had foolishly got himself into this scrape. There could be no pretence for charging him with felony. Witnesses to character were examined. Mi. Creasy told the jury they must acquit the pri soner, unless they were clearly of opinion that at the time he induced the prosecutrix to part with the rings, it was his intention to steal them and make them his own. Even if they thought he had no such intention at the time, there could be no doubt that Lie conduct was shabby and contemptible in the ex - reme. The jury found the prisoner Not Guil y. Mr. Creasy told the prisoner that if he had any manly or proper feeling about him, he would nia ce restitution of the rings, or give the prosecutrix their fu'l value. Mr. Metcalfe said the solicitor who instructed bim would take care that such should be,done. The prisoner was then discharged. He had been in custody since Aug. 4. Jeremiah Calllghan, 23, was indicted for attempting to 'stab Robert White, a police constable, iu the ex cu- Lion of his duty. The prosecutor was on duty in the Broadway, West• minster, when the prisoner knocke I him down, and wailed out a knife. After he bad knocked him down, and while he was on the ground, he made several stabs at the policeman's legs, but the thickness of the leather of his' boots prevented the knife penetrating. His trou sers were cut through in several places. Tne jury found the prisoner guilty. Mr. Crta-y said in every case which came before him wherein a knife had been used, or a person had been kicked in a brutal and unmanly manner, he should with out hesitation pass a severe sentence. In this case he should give the prisoner double the term he should have done had he not used a knife. He then sentenced him to one year s bar I labour. Will am Harris, 30, draper, pleaded guilty of em bezz!ing the sums of U. 144. 6d., 11. 7s. 61 , and 51 Bi., received by him on account of John Casper Ruttingen, his master. Mr. Creasy sentenced him to ten months' hard labour. Mary Gliddell, 40, and Josiah Glidden, 32, were in dicted with Ann Brown, 18, for stealing a copper, value 153., the property of David Seward. Toe copper was seen safest past ten o'clock one and was soo❑ after missed. The police traced footmarks to the door of a room where the three prisocers lived, a id inside they found the stolen copper. Tue two Giiddel!s, in their defence, said the other p ironer lodged in the same room as they, and brought the copper there without their knowledge. They called a Hole boy, son of the female, to prove their assertion. Brown said the Gliddelis did the robbery, and were trying to screen themselves by putting the blame upon her. They had tutored the boy what to say. The jury found them all guilty, and previous convic tions were proved against Brown and Josiah Gliddell. A sergeant of the D division stated that the el ler pri soner had been for years a tutor of young thieves in the cd:ghbourhood of Li•son-grove, and dozens owed their ruin to her. There was no previous conviction against fir. Mr. Creasy said it was clear they formed part of a confederacy of thieve-, which it was necessary to break up, Ile sentenced Mary Gliddell to eight months' hard labour, Josiah GaddEll to four years' penal servitude, and B own to three years' penal servitude. Josiah Giddell said every word Brown had said was false, and if his lordship bad 1. iven her 20 years, it would not have been a bit too much. There was another indictment against the primers. POLICE INTEALIGELVC4---Sept, 29. BOW-STREET. THE CHARGE AGAINST THE SERVANTS of CHARING CROSS HOSPITAL.—ShorsIy after the night charges were dispsed of, Mr. E. A. Bennett, house surgeon at Char ing-crops Hmp'tal, waited on Mr. Jardine, in order to make a statement relative to the charge preferred by Mr. Sprague, of Villiers-street, against the servants of that institution. Mi. Bennett, after referring to a communication made by his worship to the secretary, sa id—l n consequence your note, the r secretary wished me to cal and offer an explanation of the facts, that there might be an in vestigation if you think is neces,ary. Thera appears to have been a ,me little confusion and misunderstand ing. Tne gentleman brought the girl round at about 1 o'clock. The porter was asleep in Lis room, and being wake up out of his sleep was perhaps a little confused. Instead of bringing the woman in at once he went to fetch me. The gentleman ens following him into the private part of the horpital, when the nurse stopped him and told bite that he could not go that way as it was private. I put on sonde of my clothes and went do we, when I found the gentleman had gone away. I fol lowed and spoke to him, but he was so agitated tbat I do not think be noticed me in the confusion. He says the porter was intoxicated, but he decidedly was not. I never knew him otherwise than sober. Mr. Jardine—Of course I cannot tell which way the truth is, but the constable also said the porter was drunk. I have no poser to order any investigation, but I think it ought to be inquired into by the authorities at the hospital. Mr. 13e3nett—The secretary has inquired into sir, and ii sati.fied that the man was sober. The nurse, too, is a very respectable woman. Mr. Jardine—lt has gone I)rth that the porter was drubk. The report in the papers is clrrect. The con stable, the complainant, and another gentleman, all three stated that be was chunk. However, I do not wish to say any more about it. Mr. Ilmnett, after observing that the witnesses were certainly mistaken, a 3 the man was perfectly sober, boWed to the magistrate and withdrew. MARYLEBONE.—THE LATE GREAT FRAUD IN BANKRUPTCY.—Tho court was much crowded, in conse (pence of its having been the day appointed for the re examination of John Marks, coachbuilder, Ball-street, Edgware road; Samuel Marks, his brother ; and Abra ham Simmonds, alt of whom stood charged with haying been bonczned in the disposal of property to the amount of upwards of 16,000/. after a fiat of bankruptcy bad been issued. Mr. Poland, in the absence of Mr. Giffard, attended on the part of the prosecution ; Mr. Sleigh for Samuel Marks and Simmonds ; anr: Mr. Solomon for the pri soner John Marks ; Mr. Wildy also attended to watch the case on behalf of sTveral creditors. After some dist‘Ussion as to the course of proceedirg, _ it was agreed that evidence should be given with respect to the goods which had been placed in Kent-street, and _ thence iransferred to Reigat3. Alfred f'landev lle said ho rved in gent-street, Borough, cni that his business was that of a ropemaker, and that Simmonds, with whom he bad been acquainted Bove° or eight years, came to him in November last, and requested that ho _would oblige him by t %king charge of some goods, which he consented to do, and they were delivered to him on his premises. A carman shortly afterwards brought some g cods to his h ,use in a van, and he believed that the said van was accompanied by Sainted Marks and Simmonds. lie imagined that some of Cie cases c , ntained something light. Samuel Marks t hint that he ha f purchases the goods from a person v' no was in wan.: of money, and that he would require 'aim to keep them for six months, as he did riot wish to send them to market iintnedia.ely. There were about eight packages delivered to hirr. In August last Saraiiel - Marks called on him in Kent-street. It was, he Hayed, on a ; and he stated that ho intended to fetch away his things on the following Monday. • On the latter day, he (klark,) did call, and engaged him (witness) to take away the goods in the van, as stated by the witness Molloy, who was examined on the , previous Tuesday. Some offiiera from the Court of Bankruptcy came and. examined his premises to discover if any of the bankrupt's property was there, but they found none. Some days aftirwarda, Samuel Marks called on him and stated that 1,• :as sorry he had been PP o 4lTnienPed * , hy the calling, f the officers from the Naval and Military intelligence. Yesterday Gen. Sir John F. Burgoyne, G.C.8., R. E , Inspector-General of Fortifications and Major-General J. F. Love, K.C.B , In spector-General of Infantry, arrived at the head quarters of the Royal Eng:neer establismsnt, Brompton-barracks, Chatham, for the purpo e of inspecting the 4th, 10th, 11tl', and 21st compa nies of Royal Engineers, who are about to em bark for India. The four companies were drawn up on the parade ground under the com mand of Major L. Nicholson, and received Generals Burgoyne and Love with a general salu-e. Nearly all the men were decorated with the Crimean medal, with three and four clasps. After being inspected the companies mar,hed past in slow and quick time, and executed some other manceuvres, at the con clusion of which Ger.. Sir J. Burgoyne addressed the troops. He expressed the gratification it afforded him to witness the high state of discipline of the troops before him. In a few days they would em bark for India, and he had every confidence that the officers and men of the Royal Enginee - s would d st 'aguish themselves as highly there as they had done wherever they had been called to serve. He believed that the officers and men of the Royal En gineers on arriving in India, wou ld a dd f urt h er lustre to that branch of the service, and in bidding them farewell he wished them every success, and that they would all return again safely toEngland. Gen. Burgoyne and Geo. Loge then inspected the 18th Company of Royal Engineers, under the com mand of Capt. E. M. Grain, which only arrived from Nova Scotia the previous day. They then proceeded to Chatham lines for the purpose of in specting the A mounted troop of the Royal Engi wer Train, under the command of Cap.. H. T. S:borne. Sir J. Burgoyne and Sir J. Lave also in spected an invention in the shape of a portable ob servatory for the use of troops when on the line of march. The invention, we believe, is that of Capt. Noble, R.E., and is constructed entirely with the scaling ladders used by the Royal Engineers. The observatory was erected near the slope of the glacis at Fort Amherst, and rose to a height of about 50 feet, instruments 'for taking observations being placed on the top, so as to enable a spectator to re connoitre the movements of tro los at a ()Teat dis tance. One of thes e o b serva t or i es can he erected by about 20 troops in half an hour, and when com pleted will accommodate as many as half-a dozen persons on its summit. The Generals inspected a portion of the field works of the Royal Engineers, where the mining operations are being carded on. The 4th and 11th companies of the Royal Engineers will leave Brompton for India on Friday, and will be forwarded overland. General Gough, C. 8., with Captain Warburton, aide-de-camp, is at present in Belfast, commanding the troops s atirned in that clistric-. No instruc tions have as yet bon issued from the Horse Guards, so that it is uncertain whether Belfast will be reconstituted a military district or not. The first division (head-quarters) of the 17th Lancers will leave Island Bridge-barracks on Fri day next for Cork, and will embark the same day at Queenstown, in the Great Britain. Tire second division will proceed on Saturday, and will also embark in the Great Britain for India. The Bth Hussars are al=o expected to leave New bridge en Monday n-xt for Cork, to embark in the Great Britain for India. l'he Grea Britain arrived in Cork harbour on Saturday. In addition to the Bth Hussars and 17th Lancers she will take on board 40 men of the 10 h Royal Hussars, who have voluntee re d f or I n di a. The Horse uards hive at length decided on de spatching a portion of the Royal Artillery by tie overland route to India, an order having been re ceived at Woolwich for the embarkation of Captain 'Coring's'and Capt. Calvert's companies of Royal Artillery on bqa-d. a Southampton steamer, on the 10th of October, for Alexandria, to proceed thence via Suez and Point de Galls, for Bombay. Col. iNtaberiey, L'eut. F. B. Strange, s:h battilion ' -aa quarterma9ter, and an adjuta n t o f th e Royal Ar tillery also proceed by the same route. The li - 411-i-floor freight ship sail , d from Ports mouth yesterday for eh; na, with provisions for the fleet, shipped from the Royal Clarence Victualling yard. The Diadem, 32, screw frigate, Cant tin Moor som, 0. 8., will ready to leave the steam basin, I Portsmouth, on Friday, to try her rate of speed at the measured mile, in Stokes Bay. The re:ult is looked for wiih much inte.e3t, owing to her enor mous horse-power (1,000.) The Alban, 3, steam vessel, ',lent. the Hen. W. B. do Blaquiere, left Portsmouth yesterday morn ing for Sheerness, with supernumeraries. The keel of the R , yal Frederick, 120, sailing three-decker, witich has been ne , irly - 2;.) years on the stocks in Portsmouth Dockyard, is found to be entirely rotten, and has barn nearly all rarnoved. The Prince of Wales, 131, nev screw three• decker, building at Portsmouth, and the 51-gun screw-frigate Bacchante, building on an adjacent slip, are very forward in their construction. The Sidon, 22, paddle-wheel steam-frigate, under refit at Portsmouth, is in a very bad state, espe cially forward, and will •take some time and ex pense to repair. The Buildog, 6, paddle-wheel steam-sloop, is found so I.ttle worthy of repair, although only. a dozen yes old, that it is repor:ed she will be broken up. The City of Limerick merchant steamer embarked on Monday the following detachment of the 77th Foot for Jersey,. and sailed with them the same evening :—Capt. E. M. Long, Lieutenants R. P. Armstrong, J. M. Daly, A. T. Buts, J. Dooley ; Ensigns J. Jordan, C. P. Stour, R. Jackson, J. Bridger, J. L. Davis ; Acs'stant-Surgeon M`Gill, 5 sergeants, 2 drummers, 7 corporals, and 124 pri vates ; 22 soldiers' wives, and 38 children. The troop transport Spitfire, Capt. Williams, has arrived at Woolwich from 11-ilifax, bringing Capt. and Mrs. Grain, 40 non-commissioned ()Mews and privates of the Ropl Engineers, 10 convicts, de serters from the 62d and 63d Rsgimenls, 10 New faund.!aaid Volunieer pensioners, 27 women, 68 children ';- Lieut. Archer, 63d Regiment, in com mand of the pensioners and convicts ; and Mr. Wo. , d, staff assistant surgeon, in medical charge. The Spitfire sailed from Ha'ifax on the Ist of the present month, and made a successful and speedy passage to the chops of the Channel, where she was detained eight days by contrary easterly winds. The ship is spoken of as being well fitted out and thoroughly adapted for the transport service. She belongs to A. G. Robinson, and was built for the steam packet service. It is expected she will be or up by the East India C ompany w h o h ave Head - quarte rs , im, 0 ered h er to b 3 surveyed.

Shortsighted would those people in Europe be who should wish England to suffer sensible losses in East India. In the present state of industry and commerce England is indispensable for Europe. It is true that she receives great advantages for herself from such a state of things, but at the same time others as well are benefited thereby. To the enterprising -pirit of the English, Europe is indebted for the development in its centre of manufacture and industry. The example of England, the advan tages drawn by her from the working up - of raw produce, have shown to others what the position of civilised European society is in an industrial point of view compared with that of societies which a:e less civilised and developed in what relate 3 to indus try and commerce. I n E ng l an d, a t the present time, that universal steam-machine has taken up its plat , , which puts into movement enormous capi ta', encouragescommerci4 speculation in all coun tries of the world, and thus procuresbc2nefits not only to private individuals, but t, kingdoms, the reve nues of which are increased in proportion as private industry flourishes. To the Litter great liberty is given in England, which it cannot obtain in the other kingdoms of Europe, and this is the cause of so great a development of commercial and in dustrial strength of England. If lur strength be comes tottering the other people of Europe feel it also in different degrees. The political relations of England to Europe and the other parts of the world are another affair. It is indispensable that England should change its form of action. To effact this she must have greater confidence in- other Powers, and endeavour to strengthen this confidence by her own actions as well. It is easy to remove every understanding at its commencement, to render justice to the just, to shovi the wrongdoer his error, and by possib,le concession terminate a dispute. God's , world is still so extensive that there is sufficient room for all to enlarge and extend their influence. Russia, England, France, and the United States of North America have before them a broad field for their views of domini n. By a peaceable policy, by re quiting every one with la's due, the apple of discord may be destroyed both! in America, Africa, and Asia. There is a limit to the strength of every kingdom. The extension of their limits to that given point alone is both beneficial to the people and without danger to the kingdom, because the utmost end.-avours on that path terminate like the case of the frog who wished to become a bull iu size. (Frain the Northern Bee, Sept., 5-17.) From the conflict of opinions truth arises. The war of 1853-6 was indispensable in order to par suade Europe anew of the necessity of peace for hlr; and of all the benefits which flow from it bath for kingdoms and for people. The revolt in Easy India was indisperpab!e in order to show Englatrit'iat in her possessions, too, there exist those pernicious abuses of power which engender discontent and re volt. A general demand for peace has shown itself, a wish to strengthen it on firm foundations an 1 to prevent those occurrences which may give a pre t.,,xt to new and important conflicts in Europe. Toe principal means to effect this are ihe removal of al! ambitious projects and the restorttion of mutual confidence between the four head Powers, Russia, France, En4land,'and Prussia. The journey of the Emperor Napoleon to Osborne and then to Gsr many, where he may have an interview with ano ther Imperial personag., must have important re sults in the futur% We see in this the pledge of the consolidation of peace in Europe, and we observe with pleasure that even in England it elf the ne cessity is fait of friendly relations between these four Powers. We wish that such a manner of think ing, drrkwn from experience, may be consolidated on thQ firmest foundation, and not be a momen - ary allurement, the echo of the events which and taking pl.abe in East India. (From the Northern Bee, Sept., 2.14.) The English papers are attempting to persuade their readers thatin Russia, more particularly than in other European countries, people rejoice over the East Indian evento, and that our country espe&ally will gain by the losses which are brought upon Eugland onthis occasion. Thus, for example, even the organ of Lord Palmerston, the Morning Post, lately expressed itself. We have already had oc casion to declare that in some other countries the ill succes of- the English in East India is more likely to Le read with delight, but not in Russia. We should be justified in considering those bloody dramas as a retribution for Kertch, Odessa, Uleaborg, &c. ;- but we do not venture to take such high ground, and in the decrees of the Most High to read what is incomprehensible for us. As men, as members of a civilised community, we turn away with horror from the picture of the events in East India. With disgust do we read the letters of the English respecting the barbarity of the Sepoys, but at the same time we do not juin in the cries of England for a bloody vengeance. TBy justice, by justice alone, ca n th e equi lib r i um be tween the outraged and the outrager, between-the victim and.the, bloodthirs y, be restored. We shall not rejoice at England's losses. Our commercial relations and those of England are so mutually dependent that, while rejoicing at ano 'her's loss, we draw it upon ourselves. We have learnt much fro u England. Much remains for us to learn from her, and we have ever considered. England, and not Francs, at the head of the civili sation < f the day. We de not reckon as civilisation the superficial abstract ideas of the French and Germans respecing our oommunity, lent the post.- tiVe de luctions of the Eng'ish respecting the rights of man, his welfare, and the application of the newest acquirements in arts and sciences for his advantage and the lightening of his labours. In this respect the Ehglish have gene far beyond even, the North Americans, because with the latter the equilibrium between the advant 1!)-e acquired by man through mo ne y, i ts necessity for i him, and his exclusive endeavours after it, is completely de stroyed. In a word, in Etig;and there ia no such bowing before, the golden calf as has infatuated all neolsle in North Amelica and a portion of France. Thi.sis what binds us to England in preference to of ler countries.. cause alluded ti , and that it would be his ruin if the good.; were seized as he had paid for them. George Fairman, receivin2 c!erk at the Bricklayers Arms Station of the South Eastern Railway, said that he received a large Humber of packages from Samuel Marks, about the 15th July last, and he remembered at the latter date, b r ing i n struct e d ty some ot h er of the parties to forward the goods to Reigate Station, and by their direction addressed cards, which he placed on the backs of the cases, addressing them "to " Mr. Fordicks, Reigate." Air. Bennett Fordicks was called, and proved that he received the goods in qaestion at Reigate, by request of &almonds. He placed them in a barn, not having ac c war/lodation for them in his house. Simmonds subse quently removed them. He (Nitnes-) could not under take to swear what the packages contained. There was a large number of them, and many were very bulky. The additional evidence was in a great measure corro borative of the preceding testimony ; and, after some further proceedings, Mr. Poland said he felt called upon, on the pars of the prosecution, to request that the magistrate wou ld no t allow Samuel Marks and Simmonds to be again admitted to bsil ; and he grounded his application upon the addi tional evidence of so strongly criminatory a nature which had been adduced. Mr. Sleigh c)ntended that his clients, having attended on previous occasions, were entitled to be aLowed to renew their bail. Mr. Broughton, baying carefully reviewed the case, and paid the most particular attention to the evidence throughout, did not feel himself justified in acceding to the request of the learned counsel (Mr. Sleigh), the off , .nce charged being of a most grave and serious nature. Toe prisoners were then all remanded till Tuesday xt. THE FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE GESAT IVORTHE.RY RAILWAY. THE ADJOURNED INQUEST. TUX FORD, Tu esday. Again this morning, at the hour of 11 o'clock, as pre viously agreed upon, the county coroner and jury assem tl-d at the Newcastle Arms Inn, by adjournment from Friday. After a great mass of evidence had been gone through;'. Col: Wynn, the Government Inspector of Railways, was sworn. He said he had been inspector to Govern ment about 10 yeare, and was directed by the Board of Trade to inquire into the circumstances of this accident, and came here on Saturday m 'riling about eleven, and spent between four and five hours on the road. He found the whole distance on the line bad been reformed. He had it opened out again and every sleeper swept.. From the north end of the bridge, and going north, he per ceived the places where the carriage wheels had struck the sleepers. At 24 yards further, except at the end of one sleeper, there were no marks. The marks corres ponded with the line in which the telegraph post was knocked down, 15 yards beyond. 48 yards from the bridge there was ballast knccked in the hedge, indicating Viet a carriage has been off the line. Tue indentations oe the sleepers were pointed out to him, but he did not place much cimfidence in them. Going over the bridge, and south of it, there were indications that carriages had b en off theline. He thought the order of the accident was, that the van went off first. At the point (43 yards) where it struck the sleeper it threw off the two carriages before it, and when they struck the bridge it would de tach the two carriages that went over the bridge. He believed the van itself was first detached by striking the sleeper et 63 yards from the bridge. He had t x twined toe carriages and found but one bent axle, which he be lieved had been dose by the accident. The carriages were in excellent condition and made of first-rate materials, and very strong He had this morning found that one of the axles of the second-class carriage was heated, but he did not see that when it was in the garden ; and be believed the heating took piece in going back to Sheffield. There was no indention ofthe wheels. From Retford to the place of accident he had ridden on an engine at a speed of over 60 miles an hour, and never went stea tier. He Lad travelled over a good deal of the line, and it was almost steadier than any other he knew. He had not tried the experimeut, but he was satisfied that a train of itself could not travel at a speed of 55 miles per hour down an incline of lin 200. He was a great advocate of the communication between the guard and the driver, but in this instinct) he did not believe it would have been ofany use. He did not believe there was anything in the speed :f these trains on the Great Northern, considering the state of the line, at all to alarm the public Tao danger is increased at the same ratio as the speed. He thought it would be well if there was a maximum speed beyond which drivers should not drive ; but the locomotive euperinteedent thought the speel here was not too great. What they had to deal with was the momentum in going down an incline, and if the weight of the engine was counterpoised by a heavy break it would not add to the steadiness of the train. Looking at the good state of the road where the accident took place, he believed that, a similar accident might have befallen a train travelling at only 40 wiles per hour. In reply to a juryman, Col. Wynn said it was unasual to make any change or aiteraticn where the accident had taken place until the jury had seen it. It was stated that the guard could not give evidence. The Coroner then summed up. He said the cause of the accident could not be ascertained, but he had no doubt that the jury would arrive at such a conclusion as would satisfy in every poesiele way the mind of the public. There was no law as to the epee iat which they should travel, and the people who travelled at that speed took the reßponslaility upon themse ves, if all was done that could be done by the company to convey them with proper caution to the place they had contracted to take them. If they (the railway compeny) neglected this point and were careless in what they did, then they were ans wera ble for it. THE VERDICT. ' The jury, after half an hour's cousilera►i-n, returned a verdict of " Accidental death ; and also that in givinz their fullest consideration to the details connected with this rn elancholy accident, we cannot separate without stat ing that it appears there is not sufficient caution given to , the engine -drivers working express trains, and that they are entrusted with the exercise of a very large aisd dangerous discretion, and that there should be a maxi m:l:n speed at which the driver of an engine shall not un ler any circumstances exceed; and we further desire the coroner to communicate the verdict to the B and of Trade, and request them to bring the subject under the early consideration of Government." We understand that since this most unfortunate acci dent, her Majesty the Queen has written, through Cul. Phipps, to the Great Northern Railway officials, ioquir ing into the c :use of the accident, and requesting that the result of the inquiry should •oe inarneiiately male known to her.

The duties which previously had been an intolerable burden became a delight fal exercise, and I have since accomplished more labour with less fatigue than I ever expected to be able to perform. I have never Lad a return of my complaint. —I remain, &c., D.Timmas." Supported by testimonials from the celebratcd Professors of Chemistry, Dr. A udrew Ure ; Dr. Shorland ;.
