The &fillers Race for 301. aside, between Thomas Cannon, of Wapping, and Alfred Ralph, of Wandsworth, took place this afternoon, and, considering the lateness of the season, a considerable master assembled (n board the Citizen N., which was chartered for the occasion. The articles stipulated that the race should be rowed from Putney to Mortlake in old fashioned boats, the same two that were lately used by Pinnis and Wade, (without zany alteration). Up to the time of starting betting was very brisk, the friends of Ralph freely laying 6 and 7 to 4 on him. Cannon having won the choice of station took the Mid dlesex side, and at a quarter to 3 a most excellent start was effected, Cannon getting a slight advantage for the first two or three strokes, when Ralph, by great exer tions, drew his boat nearly a length clear. Cannor, however, could not be so easily shaken off, and after a most exciting race to Crab Tree-point succeeded in again obtaining the lead, and in crossing the - water to Ham mersmith-bridge, considerably increased it, being about four or five lengths a-head at the bridge, and maintain ing his lead from thence to Mortlake. The time to Hammersmith-bridge was 11 minutes, Barnes-bridge 23A minutes, and to the Ship at Mortlake 28 minutes. NAVAL APPOINTMENTS.—(This Day.

(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN THE BANKRUPTCY OF LBOPOLD REDPATHTHE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY FRAUDS. This was a dividend meeting in the matter of Leopold Redpath. A proof on behalf of the Great Northern Railway Company was put in for 200,0001. and upwards, being the produce of certain stock. Commissioner—Does any one oppose the proof ? Mr. Lawrance—No one opposed the proof. The company had paid, or at all events satisfied every other creditor of the bankrupt. They were deter mined that any suggestion that this man Redpath had got credit, or assumed an appearance, on the strength of his being an officer of the company, should have no foundation. By an actoflastsessiou 20 and 21 Vic., cap. 138, the company could have proved in competition with the other creditors, in which case the creditors would only have received a fractional dividend of about 2s. in the pound. They had resolved to pay off all the creditors. Some of the creditors had been paid los. in the pound—some more, but every creditor had been satisfied. There was not the slightest legal or moral obligation on the part of the company to do this. The amount of Redpath's frauds, as recited in the schedule to the account, amounted to 221,0001. He issued fraudulent dividend warrants for 15,5001., making together about 236,0001. By the statute passed last session the amount to be received by the company as dividend on this estate would be applied by them subject to the decision of the Court of Chancery in the case now before it. The official assignee (Mr. Pennell) said he had received on account of the estate 30,0001. The proof for 200,0001. was tendered on behalf of the Great Northern Railway Company, by Mr. Mowatt, secretary to the company. The Commissioner — l want to know what power they have to turn this money obtained by fraud into a proof. It was replied by Mr. Lowrance that the act of last session declared all the forged shares to be valid. The Commissioner could not see how the act authorised this amount to be treated as a debt due from Redpath, and deferred judgment, as the point was an important one. Judgment deferred accordingly.

This insolvent, who has figured at the Mansion house on several occasions, when charged with al leged forgeries on the Cape of Good Hope Bank, when he passed as " Montefiore," appeared from the Queen's Prison on his application to be dis charged under the act. The case, from its extraordinary character, ex cited a good deal of public interest. air. Dowse, with whom was Mr. Macrae appeared to oppose for Messrs.

The schedule filed by the insolvent showed that he had been known as " Muntefiore, Langfeldt, and Lyon." He had resided, although only 30 years of age, in many parts of the world. He owed 6,9061. 43. 2d., and had 1561. owing to him. He had 26 creditors and seven debtors. The insolvency was attributed to the bill of exchange held by Me6Srs Wilson and Ritchie having been dishonoured, and the proceedings taken against him at the Cape of Good Hope. He alleged that he had sustained a THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH CABLE. PLYMOUTH, Nor. 14. The North of Europe Steam Company's packet Leipsic, Captain Rivers, which has been employed in recovering the submerged cable, arrived here this morning and proceeded to Keyham-yard. The operation was commenced by Mr. Bright, the engi neer, on the 22d ult. The heavy inshore cable was under-run from the station at Valencia on a catamaran, formed of a timber framing bearing a saddle fixed between two long iron buoys ; this was towed by the steamer. At a distance of fire miles, which was attained on the 31st Oct., the gales having interfered with the work, the bearings were taken, and the wire was attached to three chain cables, fitted with a buoy, at a short distance apart, for connexion with the ocean line to be laid next spring, when operations will recommence. On Thursday, the sth inst., after the wind had abated the steamer went 10 miles out, grappled the light cable, and commenced hauling in, with the aid of a small engine on deck, which was calculated, with the machinery attached, to draw about two miles per hour in fine weather, and a mile and a quarter when there was much sea on. About 53 miles of the ocean wire—and the remainder of the inshore cable about five miles—were thus recovered. At a quarter-past 4 o'clock on Friday, the 6th inst., when a heavy swell and sea prevailed, the wire parted. The bottom there was rocky, and it is not improbable that the wire, which is capable of bearing a strain - of four tons, was broken by the uneven character of the ground ; the drift of the steamer making very little way with the -wind on her quarter would tend to bring a heavy . strain upon the cable if it lay in a cleft. The weather was very rough and unsuitable for the work—the Atlantic swell being always heavy at this season ; and the recovery of the remainder must be postponed until next spring, when a small steamer will be sent to meet the Agamemnon, and to assist in making the splice with the shore end. It is very satisfactory to know that the sub merged wire bears no appearance of injury, and the whole of the recovered cable can be used again. There is, of course, a little rust on the 12 wires which protect the inshore cable, but on rubbing with the finger they become bright again ; none of the gutta percha coatings are disturbed and the tarring of the wire seems to have stood exceedingly well. In manufacturing the inshore cable an outer wire would occasionally break, when the part was lashed round with smaller wire ; these lashings are also undisturbed. loss on tli'e bill of 2,6001. The career of the insolvent, as disclosed by his own examination, presented some remarkable fea tures. He said his real name was "Woolf Levy," by which he was known from his birth, iu 1827, un til he parted with it in 1853, in which year he left England. His present debts commenced from Feb., 1854. He was born and educated in this country. In 1846 he first left England and remained in Aus tralia two years, where he was in business in his own name of " Woolf Levy." He was in Sydney, and went to Calcutta with about 30 horses as a speculation. He left Calcutta at the end of 1849, and was there as " Woolf Levy." He then came to England, which he reached in 1850, and after a sojourn of four months he went to the United States. He went to New York, where he resided a few months, and travelled through the entire Union. He had a partner. They dealt in various things which they bought at New York and sold in the western parts. They dealt in "Yankee curiosities," which included " wooden nutmegs." Mr. Commissioner Phillips—What l Do you mean to say you sold nutmegs of wood, and per- DEPOT BATTALION.

Insolvent—They don't know the difference. ,The partnership, it appeared from the insolvents examination, lasted a couple of years. He had stayed at St. Louis. At that time, which was in 1853, he turned his attention to railways. He had some money, which be had gained by speculations, to about 1,0001. He then used the name of " Monte fibre," which was suggested to him by a gentle man of the same name, as he intended to go to California. He went to California as " Monte tiore " and speculated in mining shares. He we nt to Panama, where he thought of forming a com pany, but did not. Whilst there he contracted a debt with a Niss Cora, which now appeared in the n I s ema c i shnoc land and edho.

Mr. Dowpilael. seasked theinsolventwhetherthe house of Sir M. Montefiore had any money of his ? Mr. Sargood objected to the question. The insolvent admitted, in answer to the Com missioner, that he had no authority to draw on the house, and that he had no funds there. He proceeded with his history to state that he left San Francisco in July or August, 1854, when he went to Manilla, on his way to Calcutta, naving made about 3,2001. from speculations, which money he had in a draft at San Francisco. Mr. Commissioner Phillips referred to the balance sheet, to show the style in which the insolvent had been living. He had been to all parts of the gold territories, and in two years the travelling expenses were above 1,6001. Mr. Sargood was not surprised, remembering what had been said of travelling in California. The insolvent went on to say he had 2,700/ , which he turned into a draft for 2,6001., which he obtained of a banker named King, which draft pur ported to be drawn by Burgoyne and Uo., ou Bar mg Brothers, of London. From Manilla he went to Hong Kong, in the name of Montefiore, where he contracted a debt to pay his expenses at Manilla, which were large. He afterwards went to Ceylon, staying at Point de Galls, Colombo. The steamer broke down. He had some jewels at the time. He came to England in the commencement of 1855, with 7001. or 8001., having made about 2,0001. at Colombo. Before he reached England, he went to Egypt and Italy, and also to Cairo and Alex andria. He was at Florence with about 1,200/., and whilst there he made the acquaintance of a Mr. Brown, who wanted him to have 1,0001. of him, and after being pressed he took 5001. (A laugh.) The money was spent in travelling about. When he came to England in 1855 he went to Newcastle to look after a vessel, and there he assumed the name of " Langfeldt," which was the name of an hotel acquaintance, and he adopted it because he did not want to be arrested. He went to Bristol and ought a schooner, nam e d T r i umv ir, for 3001., whght ich he had repaired, and the parties held the same.

RECASTING OT THE WESTMINSTER BELL.—Sir Benja min Hall and the commissioners, Professors Faraday and Wheatstone and Mr. Denison, having visited the bell, have determined that it shall be recast as soon as poesi ble, by Messrs. Warner, the contractors. For this purpose it will have to be broken np •n the spot. The debris of metal will then be removed to the foundry, where the recasting process, it is calculated, will occupy about two months. The process of cooling down the metal will occupy a fortnight, and its cleaning about the same period. It is understood that the same shape and dimensions wil• be adhered to, and that early next year the bell may be in its place. FIRE IN BISHOPSGATI.—Yesterday (Monday) morn ing, about a quarter to 3 o'clock, a fire, which was at tended with a serious loss of property, broke out in the extensive range of premises in the tenure of Messrs. Beck and Co., dealers in China, glass, and earthenware, the buildings being in Sun-street, and extending into Dunniog'e-alley. The Royal Society's fire-escape arrived horn the Bishopsgate-street station, when Warren,thecon ductor, pitched it in front of the house and boldly ascended to the third floor, and, having entered through the win dow, he found three persons almost suffocated. He placed an ofd man in the escape, and, having lexerel hint safely to the ground, he managed to bring the other two out of the window and get them also safely to . the ground. The engines of the London Brig ade from various stations, and that of the Weei. of Ew , ,lancl, were coon in attendance, and, owing to the exertion.; of the fire men, the flames were eventually cx4inguished, but not till the warehouses were burnt out, and the stores in the front house much damaged. The loss, which is considerable, will fail upon the Sun Tire-office. The • origin of the dieaster is unknown.

He said he gave up that property for his creditors. Mr. Commissioner Pinilips said the same evi dence as in an ordinary case must be given. Mr. Sargood alleged that the insolvent had not a shilling, and could not bring Mr. Devereux from the country. Mr. Dowse objected to the balance sheets. Mr. Commissioner Phillips said they certainly did contain extraordinary items. The insolvent had been a long time in prison. The case, atter some further discussion, ended by being adjourned to Saturday ; the opposing parties promising to procure the attendance of Mr. Dove reux. THE ST. .U.RDER, STEVENAGE, Nor. 16. The inquiry into the death of John Stackings, the police-constable, who was so brutally murdered on the 30th ult., near this town, was renewed to day before Mr. C. Tines, the coroner fur the county of Herts. Capt. Robertson, the chief constable of the Herta constabulary, was present during the proceedings. During the interval that has elapsed since the ad journment, through the exertions of Mr. Barnes, the superintendent, and Mr. Hawkes, the inspector of the district, most important additional evidence has been obtained, and the result has been that the charge appears to be clearly established against Jeremiah Carpenter, the man in custody. Mr. Barnes was the first witness examined, and he stated that ho apprehended Carpenter on the 3d Nov., at two o'clock in the afternoon, and his at tention was called to the shirt he had on, and he asked him to account for some stains that appeared en the left wristband, and which there seemed to have been some attempts to remove. The wris-• band appeared to be stiffened by something that had been placed upon it, and the prisoner said it was caused by the lotion he had been using for his leg. He afterwards found a wicker basket in the prisoner's house, in which there were a few grains of wheat and barley, and the prisoner's wife, in his presence, said, " There's no wheat there ; don't you think if there had been any wheat there we should have got rid of it 7" He afterwards observed spots of blood ou the basket, and he cut out that part of the basket and handed it to Dr. Taylor. When he first found the bas,ket the wife of the pri- Boner said, " You can't make blood where there is no blood, can you 1" When the prisoner was exa mined before themagistrates, and witness stated that he had found blood on his clothes, the prisoner inter posed, and said, "It wasuot the blood of that man." The basket, when he first took possession of it, was quite wet, and appeared as though it had just been washed. On Fridaylast witness recovered possession of some pieces of smock-frock from Inspector Hawkes. There were some marks of blood upon them. He had searched the prisoner's cotttage be fore, and he could swear positively that there were no pieces of smock-frock in the cottage upon the occasion when he made the search. Upon the left gaiter of the prisoner a button was missing which appeared to have been dragged off, and a button has since been found near the spot where the strug gle took place. Several buttons were off the other gaiter, and all the buttons at pre'ent on the gaiters were odd ones. The witness then stated the mea sured distance from the prisoner's cottage to the place where the murder had been committed, and also that he found five freshly pulled turnips from a field leading from Mr. Home's (his master's) farm, and in a pigsty at the prisoner's house he saw some Swede turnip parings of a similar description to those which had been pulled up. Upon searching the prisoner's house he found about a bushel and a half of barley in the bed room. The portions of the frock that were found were produced. The arms appeared to have been torn from the body, and small blood spots were dis tinctly visible. In answer to a question put by the jury, the superintendent said that there were no turnips growing in the prisoner's garden. The clothes of the prisoner were then produced, and the cuts in them pointed out, and Mr. Smith, the surgeon, stated his opinion that all these cuts might have been produced by the knife found on prisoner, and that they corresponded with the blade. The surgeon also stated that he bad no doubt that the spots ou the smock-frock were blood. David Carpenter, a boy about 17, the son of the prisoner, was then examined, and after some hesi tation he admitted that the knife that had been produced by the police belonged to his father. Inspector Hawkes said that on Friday last he made a further search in the prisoner's house, and in a cupboard he found two torn pieces of a smock frock with blood upon them. He had searched that particular cupboard once fully before, and he was certain these piece , of smock-frock had been placed there since the former search. William Isgatel police-constable, proved that on Saturday last he made a search near the spot where the struggletook place, and upon sifting sonata mould carefully he found a button of a gaiter, which he produced. Inspector Capron, of the Herts constabulary, de posed that on Nov. 3d he conveyed the prisoner from Stevenage to Hitchin, and as they were going along he observed to the prisoner, " It is an awful murder, and it is an ,awful thing for you to be charged with it." The prisoner replied, " You did not see me do it, nor nobody else—they have gotto find that out ; and if they find out I done it, I must bide the consequences, that's ad." After the pri soner was at the station witness observed some blood on a piece of stuff he had been using to bathe his leg, and he asked him bow it came there, and ha said it came from his nose, which always bled. when he had a cold. William Day, a labourer, proved that on the morning of the day on which the prisoner was taken into custody he called at his cottage and asked hire how his leg was, and he said it was a little better. Witness then said it was a shocking thing about the murder, and he supposed they would try to bring him (Carpenter) iu for it. The prisoner re plied, " I dare say they'll have me to-day, because there's been two doctors looking at me ; but I am innocent ; and if I ern innocent they cannot hurt me." Wm. Shepherd, the lad who was examined on the former occasion, was recalled, and he said that on the Saturday after Carpenter hurt his leg Mrs. Carpenter came to him i n the morning, and said that he must not say anything about Master Car penter hurting his foot in the school, because if he did they'd pay him and his father too. On the even ing the accident took p lace h is fattier also told him if he said anything about Carpenter's accident he wouldhim"—earaning he would thrash him. There being no further evidence to lay before the jury, no Coroner proceeded to sum up the whole of the evidence with great coolness and preci sion. He said there could be no doubt, he appre hended, in their minds that the unfortunate de ceased had met his death by the violent act of some person, and that act would amount to the crime of wilful murder. The evidence seemed to point against one person, and if they should be of opinion that it was sufficient to show that he was the guilty party, it would be their duty to say so by their verdict ; but if they thought it was-not conclusive, they would be justified in returning an open ver dict, and saying that the deceased was wilfully in ur dered by some person unknown. The jury, after deliberating for a short time, re turned a verdict of " Wilful murder against Je remiah Carpenter," and the Coroner at once issued his warrant for his committal to take bis trial fur that offence at the ensuing spring assizes. .d AIEMORANDIJM.

MARYLEBONE.—Anne Bentley was charged with having stabbed James Bentley, her husband. The prisoner, who denied having stabbed her husband, was fully committed for cutting and wounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm. Mary Chalk was charged with having stabbed a man named Patrick King. The prisoner stands committed for trial for the stabbing, but for the completion of the evidence will be brought up again to-morrow (this day). WESTMINSTER.—Benjamin Nichols, a very respectable looking man, 57 years of ago, the pro prietor of a genteel lodging-house at 15, Marl borough-place, Brighton, was placed at the bar, charged with stealing a travelling bag containing deeis, papers, jewellery, and other articles of con siderable value, the property of Mrs. M'Alpin, of 108, Eaton-square, and Castlebar, IrelanJ. Sergeant Smith, a very intelligent detective officer of the A division, stated that having been in formed of the disappearance of the bag in ques tion, from information he received, he went to the prisoner's house in Brighton on Saturday, and saw his wife, who said he was out, but upon witness informing her that he knew he was at home, as he had just seen him in the house, the accused made his appearance. Witness then told him that he was a detective officer, and wished to know how he obtained possession of a gold bracelet which he had sold to a pawnbroker named Tate, near Windmill street, Haymarket. Prisoner replied that he bought it on the 28th or 29th of July last of a gentleman's servant in Dublin, but could neither tell his name nor where he lived. Witness said this account was very unsatisfactory, and he should therefore take him into custody, and then read over to the ac cused a list of the articles stolen in the bag, among which was the bracelet. Witness then commenced searching the house,, and found five pawn brokers' tickets, one of which related to a silver fork, knife, and telescope, also upon the list ; and, upon witness pointing that fact out, the accused nodded his head in assent. At this juncture witness saw prisoner's wife endea vouring to remove something from a corner of the room, and, taking it away from her, he found it was a bunclle addressed " Mr. M'Alpin, 108, Eaton square," and contained the papers and deeds which had been in the bag. Prisoner admitted the fact, and said he had directed the parcel with his own hand and intended to send it home. Several other articles which had been in the bag were then found in the house, and prisoner then gave the following account of his possession of the bag :—On the 27th of July he went with Mr. Bagwell, M.P., from Brighton to Ireland in the capacity of butler, and finding a large black leathern bag which did not Lelong to his employer among his luggage in Ire land, brought it to London with him, and there opened it, after which he did not know what to do. He thought of sending the papers back, as he con sidered they might be of great value to the person owning the b .g. Mr. Tate, of 1, Cambridge-street, Golden-square, pawnbroker, produced a gold armlet which he bought of the prisoner on the sth of October for 11. ss. Colonel Dixon, staying at the Brunswick Hotel, Jermyn-street, trustee to the late Colonel M'Al pin's property, identified the armlet produced as Mrs. M'eAelpin's. Mr. Arnold said he did not see what there was at present t o give him jurisdiction. Colonel Dixon explained the circumstances under which the property was lost. On the morning of the 28th of July Mrs. M'Alpin left Eaton-square for the west of Ireland, and as the bag contained valuable papers and jewels gave it in particular charge to one of her servants. He saw the lady off on the morning in question. The bag was not missed until the lady's arrival in Ireland, when the matter was communicated to him, and he put it into the hands of the police. When the prisoner was brought to London from Brighton he told him (Colonel Dixon) that if ho would not prosecute ho would tell him where all the rest of the things were. Mr. Arnold inquired whether any of the stolen property had been found in his district 1 St rgeant Smith was not aware of any. Mr. Arnold observed that a magistrate had ju risdiction where a felony had been committed or where th• property was disposed of, but neither bad occurred in the district of the Court. Sergeant Smith said he had brought the accused here, because the property was never seen by the owner's servants after they left Eaton-square ; he could not say where it had been stolen. Prisoner said he was most desirous of telling the whole truth now if the magistrate would hear nim. Mr. Arnold, after the usual caution, tuld him that he might proceed. Prisoner then, having repeated that he was en gaged to accompany Mr. Bagwell to Ireland, said that he had charge of 3 8 boxes of luggage of that gentleman and his servants. They left Easton square in the morning and arrived at Holyhead at a quarter past 6 in the evening, when the boat was in a great hurry, and there was, as usual, much con fusion both in embarking there and disembarking at Kingstown, in consequence of which passengers' luggage got mixed. When he arrived at Kildare street, Dublin, he had his right number of boxes and parcels, but there was a stran g e black bag w . e did not belong to his emp lo y er in place of a carriage box containing linen , j ewelr y , and other valuablesea beloneine . to Mrs. Bagwell. lie wrote to every 0 s t a tion they had been at res p ecting the missingand in three weeks a fter it was forwarded wi a n ote stating it had bee n found with Mrs. plate brass luegage.

The accused pretended to know nothing about it. Mr. Arnold said he should remand him for eight days, when, unless som et h in g o cc urred to give him jurisdiction, prisoner must be sent to the court of the district where some part of the. stolen property was found. WORSHIP-STREET.—Robert Merritt, a hair dresser in Bridport-place, Heaton, was charged with wilful cutting and wounding. Mr. Edward Loveridge, a clerk in a mercantile house in the city, whose forehead and part of whose face were covered with hospital bandages, stated that having some time before left a case of razors with the defendant, that they might be reset, he on Friday night called there and asked for them, and found to his annoyance that they had not been done. He said, if that was the case he would take them away as they were.; defendant said he had better not do so, but he persisted, and the defend ant then insisted that he should pay for their , beingreset, thoughthey had not been. "I, of course ' refused to do that," said the witness, " and seeing he was about to lay hold of me, I retreated into the street two or three y ar d s , followed by the de fendant, who then seized and tried to hold me, hub I got away from him by pushing him off me, and he immediately struck me all his force on one of my eyes. The blow was so violent that it was directly followed by a great deal of blood, and I found that I had three distinct cuts, one in the temple and two beneath the eye, from each of which pieces of glass have been extracted. I was then taken to hospital, and have now to get back there again." Sugg, a constable, heard that a 'man was bleeding very badly, and going up found the last witness standing at the door of a chemist with blood flow ing profusely down his face, pieces of broken glass in his hair, and other pieces scattered about the pavement close to the defendant's shop. De fendant, who said he done it in self-defence, was lodged in the station, and the prosecutor was taken to .the house of the divisional surgeon, but the latter ordered him to be taken at once to the hos pital, where witness took him, the house-surgeon now directing that he should be brought back again as soon as the case was over. In answer to the charge, the defendant said ho was dressing a gentleman's hair at the time of this dispute, and, not being conscious that he had a glass bottle in his hand, and being much excited, he struck the cowplainant in the faco with the bottle, but he was now very sorry that he should have done so ; he had a wife and a large family to sup port, and hoped that it would be forgiven. He was remanded, however, to this day week, that the result of the proseutor's injuries might be more accurately ascertained. TILE BOMBAY CO Ai SHE A TORS EXEC You will hardly be surprised, a fter the hin + s I have on several occasions thrown out, to hear that the mutinous feeling has spread in the Bombay army ; and, as we have had an exemplification of it here, I will give you such details respecting it as may be depended on, more especially as none will appear in the newspapers. For some time past the 10th, stationed here, have been looked upon with suspicion—the 11th was not much better. The fall of Delhi and the relief of Lncknow have net served to quiet, but rather to excite this spirit of disaffection : for you must always bear in mind that the process of ratiocination is very different in the native mind to that which generally obtains in the European—in fact, the two would in most cases arrive at exactly opposite conclusions. More than one little significant fact had been pointed out to our Deputy Commissioner of Police that mischief was brewing, and that to a very considerable extent. It was surmised, and with truth, that these men, in conjunction with the Native Marine Battalion, were in communication with their comrades at Bushire—viz., the 26th Bombay Native Infantry and the 3d Cavalry. All means were set on foot to discover how much of truth there was in all these surmises and rumours, when lo a Sepoy of the 10th called privately on the Deputy-Commis sioner of Police, and after narrating all the de tails of the plot in course of maturity, offered to give positive proof if the authorities would engage a room adjoining that in which the con spirators were to hold their last meeting pre vious to operations. In the meantime the 26th and 3d Cavalry arrived. This was the ouly event waited for. But somewhat to the sur prise of these gentry, the cavalry were ywas ordered of 2 once to Sholapore, whil e th e as suddenly despatched to Khandeish. But, courage ! The plan was too far adv a nc e d to b e g i ven up courage ; so the meeting was to be held, and held it was. And now, in your mind's eye, imagine some 50 natives, with a gleam of moody satisfaction sparkling from their deep_ black eyes, crowd e d round on the floor of a dark room, in a dingy native house, in a low distri ct of Bomb ty. Silence ensues as each one turns to a non-commissioned officer, w ho with quiet malicious triumph lays bare the full -mature d plan. But s to p !

But I don't see th; at twinkling black eye at the crevice or hole. Ant 1 , hark! Why surely that must be sounds of heal - 1 footsteps on the stairs. What, conspirators I b o - your feat ! Where is your vaunted courage now - 7 - A little sound and frightened. Tis conscien, co that makes cowards of us all." Again, anoth er sound, a crash, and change the scene. In l ie. parate cells of Fort St. George, crouching on the ground, are seen dejected lookiug men with still a vicious scowl upon their brows. Yonder, see as, he is led forth to trial, that tall, large, be-whiekerro d man, not quite downcast yet • still, as he sees fhe sneer levelled at him by the European guard, t here is the haughty look of defiance and cruelty, so cha racteristic of the Mussulman. Again, anolleer change ; the charge is read, evidence is_ adduced--- evidence strong as Holy Writ—" conspiracy, tae s" son," all proved. (This also refers to another, $ private, who was tried at the saute time.) Ti le sentence is passed. What ? Transportation for life. "Revise your sentence," briefly returns this brigadier commanding (Short.) The revision. is made. "How say you now 7" " Death." "C. 4,1 2- firmed," says the Brigadier. Once more a chaiege of scene. It is four o'clock in the afternoon, :11 nd crowds of all castes, creeds, and colours, are af,s thering on the esplanade. Look yonder, across the grass. Ah I that is the 10th taking up its tee fa' tion. As fine a body of men as ever stepped ; ► a regiment 1,100 strong. How well they look-1401r soldierly their mien! Those men traitors I I dare swear, m his heart, that not a man is free frail taint. Ah ! there they come, anotherregiment, i be 11th, not equal to the 10th, but still every soldier" like body of men. Now, look round towards Ft tit St. George, do you see there, jast under the poi 'I" cullis, a dark moving mass ? That is a body of is' tillerymen flanked by eight pieces of heavy canno u following, not quite in suoh regular order, with so soldierly a step, some 300 sailors, arm ed with muskets and cutlasses. These gentlemen hm re a look of restlessness, as though it were their nag dit particular wish to doff the blue jacket, tuck 'UP their shirt sleeves and go in and win—as no doll bt they would. But Jack, my boy, you mast wig; awhile ; for the present,' march away there, Sall take up a position to the left, a little to the rear oi those guns. Again there is a shadow on t he port 94,.. A silence—,olemn, grand—pervades the neiS bourhood. The head of a column debouches on t ltß plain ; it is her Majesty's 95th. Hark ! was there not a clank of chains ? Ah ! see between the ae gnus ! How slowly they walk No look of triuna Po now ! Onwards to their position, and then ! large guns are moved to the front, clear to vie If ' Havilder Syed Hoossein marches with a soldite rs tread, but with a hang-dog look, and halts ; regimental jacket is stript from his shoulders ; b e is strapped, arms to the muzzle ; he looks De seechingly to his comrades of the 1 0th—no siva ; to the 11th—no help. Captain Bolton stands .bY giving orders ; the unhappy wretch makes a b appeal. Qh, sorry he is ! he never meant it, n he ; he always loved his good masters so mud " Oh, sahib ! captain sahib ! pardon, dear, dear captain !" His words were almost the wail sounds heard. The last rope is tied ; the art • lerymen fall back ; only the man with th. port -fire there. The criminal is alone, face to 101 l ith death. The whole multitude seems to !nald its breath, —one feels a-choking,—when " ReaelY ;ie r s mites the ear,—then, "Fire ! "—and the Mat' " shattered to atoms. It was a sickening sight. To show how completely the native regiment% the ground were provided for in case of movenam e % I may safely say, that had an attemp t been made a t a rise, the guns were so placed that not a B'l4 would have left the ground alive ; and at this 01. 0 ",„ ment the guns on the ramparts command every iaeou of the lines occupied by the native regiments. Now you must not suppose that this is the old —I am inclined to think it is only the beginniitig. We must not forget that the 3d Cavalry is unques tionably tainted, as also the 26th ; and Geneeral Schuler has gone ou a special mission to Sat t,a-a, las I think, because the 22d there is on a par with the rest, and something is to be do tie while at Belgaum another sergeant has follov rod suit to our departed friend, Syed Hoossein. I 31 - the-by, I should mention that others are on tai al, and no doubt next week will witness several ot,l "military executions." A part of the plan which I have omitted to mention was, that on Thurstl.o9 last, as a great number of Europeans would be it concert in the Town-hall, given by a gentlert from Australia, California, &c., named Massed . , "fell swoop" was to be made on this unarmed; as semblage, and no doubt a most horrible masstah are would have been the result. Ju st reali se e a and then say if we have not rea sons to b e gratef hun t first to Almighty God, and then for t t an a our sec y. means so skilfully employed fo r mor e ti aan However, all this puts us , of cours e, ' sl ul, i i ever on our guard, and I t hi n k it will go hard, if any attack should be made, if these " geutlemeat in black" don't meet with a warmer reception Varna even this hot climate is in the habit of affor sang them.—U , rrespondent of Morning Adiortioer.
