ou , , stripped off her clothes to get money. ()acre had plundered her and the Doctor ere he died ; she saved her marriage ring in her hair ; she hnd to leave the body unburied, and with bare feet to walk over the burning rough road for three miles to a village, to be teased and terrified till sleep quiete d all the village; e:t morning they sent her to the Newab. The Doctor's 1114 words were " Poor Lotty ! I am glad to know she is e i e f a e s--: lam glad he thought so highly of me as to put such confidence in me, and consequent satisfac tion about his child. l am glad God pregerved her. We were all 16 days at the Newab s, and got here on the 12th July. Poor Mr. Barber was quite knocked up ere 3I elawe lost sight of him ;he fell as if shot an hour afterwards, killed by the sun. Poor Ewart, the most fcarlese of men, died in the same way. On the 23d they atepp.al, and Henry Kirke went to a village to get him l;ttle water ; though insensible, he came back with the whole village yelling like fiends at his heels ; thus they could. neither see Ewart nor P erbet breathe their last— every one against them. One man snatched away Kirke's pistol as he gave him drink ; another stunned poor Ser. geant Kischoff as be stooped to drink from the man's brass vessel; they cudgelled him till he seemed dead, then plundered him ; he rose when they were gone, and God directed his steps to a village where the people sheltered him and gave him money. I think he mu ,t have 'ailed himself the magistrate of Muboa, for the man who to!d me of this said he was that official, who is still at Churkaree, or was when we last heard. Jackson carrying Mrs. Kirchoff behind him—she was tied to him —got with Henry Kirke to a village in a native state. Ho was well received, and sent on hero after a few days' rest. He is now second in command of a small force being raised hereabouts by the Rajah of Raw ah. Mrs. Maw has left by palkee for Mirzspore, whence a steamer takes her and Lotty to Celcutta—thence she goes home. Pour woman ! she suffered awfully ; she expects her con finement in Sept. I was afraid of its taking place every day. Sergeant and Mrs. Kirchoff have gone to Miiza pore. Frank Ron and I are detained to serve with the 30% Regt. here. It is loyal—that is, it consults its own interests, and is obedient. It could not well g et away if it rebelled tow. I pray God it may be true. I have tried to get away to get to Allahabad, and join au expedition. "You will feel that we who are alive have much cause to thank God. lam glad to say Jackson and Frank feel this and see the finger of God in many events that told for us. Everything I possessed has been destroyed ; my horse ruined last of all by the spear wound. I had to throw nay pistol away in order to hold Lotty. How that child, two years old, lived I know not ; angels must have had their wings over it. On the 19th and 20th its heal was fir hours bare to the sun. On the 22d I made te'•raolinto a sort of turban. She, aged three years in mind, during her ride was as healthy as any child in England. She felt more horrified than Leonora after h,r ride with William, and could not endure my ap proach after her mother came. "Monday, July 20. " I was very sorry on the 19 , 1 to lose sight of some of the stragglers, but it could not be helped. I could not keep the men back, and I could not carry more on my two horees. Thank God, all go safely to places of shelter save the wife of Mr. Langdale, who wrote for the Treasure-chest-office. Her husband left her, and she died or was killed. . "Jackson had a terrible labour in carrying Mrs. Kit choff behind him, which he did from the 20th to the 231 or 24th. She sat a la Turque; so did Mrs. Mase, behind the doctor, and not as ladies like to sit, both feet on one side. The labour was terrible to Jackson ; the poar woman was tied to him. They went 40 miles one Jay ; the poor women had to ride on the nearly bare backs of the horses, and must have suffered much." TIER MAJESTY'S THEATR E . _L Two Extra Performances only, at Reduced.

In another part of our impression will be found several extracts of letters from Lieutenant-Colonel EDwinnEs, C. 8., who is deservedly one of our mr,,t trusted and valued Indian officers. The 'mariner in which, while yet young and compara tively unknown, he acted at Mooltan, on an emergency of no ordinary magnitude, gained for him the thanks and gratitude of the nation, and he has since displayed in the higher positions to ‘ , 1 which ho was justly promoted, the same ability and zeal that originally gained him fame and promotion. Lieutenant-Colonel EDwARDES is an i unimpeachable witness. He possesses an accurate i knowledge of the native character, and fully under stands what may be accomplished by indefatigable energy and unflinching determination under the most apparently adverse circumstances. Pesha wur, where he is stationed, and where his in•. valuable services have been chiefly rendered, was, " during peace, an incessant anxiety ; now, it is the strongest point in India." He says—" We have struck two great blows—we have disarmed our own troops, and raised levies of all the people of the country. The troops are confounded ; they calculated on being backed by the people. The people are delighted, and a better feeling has sprung up between them and us in this enlist ment than has ever been obtained before. I have also called on my old country, the Deragat, and it is quite delightful to see how the call is an it practically amounts, is a heavy blow and great discouragement to English influence in the Otto man Empire. He was peculiarly the friend of England, the advocate of every sound and whole some reform, and the supporter of the Christian subjects of the Sultan. Ile was in his position at the head of the Turkish Cabinet at the time of the protest of the four Ambassadors against the Moldavian Elections. He was at that time " the right man in the right place." But, unfortu nately, the active and persevering exertions of his opponents prevailed, and ho was compelled to re sign his chief place in the Turkish Government to other hands. His fall was, however, broken. He was nominated the President of the Tanzimat Council,. just as an English Premier might be made President of the Privy Council here—a dignified although not very important position. This, moreover, has been also taken away, and it has even been rumoured, although, we trust, without adequate foundation, that his son DJEMIL BEY, the Ottoman Ambassador at Paris, would parti cipate in his downfall. We cannot place much confidence in the new President, FUAD PASHA, more especially when his appointment is regarded, as it must be, as a complete victory over English influence. This is a portion of what Lord STRA.TFORD DE REDCLIFFE has brought upon us by his peremptory and unyielding disposition : wo fear that, so long as he remains at Constantinople, we shall not regain our quon dam position, nor exercise the power to which we are justly entitled. A " refractory ambassador" is objectionable on many grounds, and it is high time that he were permitted to enjoy the ease to which he is entitled after 50 years of diplomatic service. Never was there a time when it was more essential that we should be , adequately re prssented at the Turkish capital. swered. 2,000 horsemen, formerly in my army at Mooltan, are now moving on different points, according to order, to help us in this difficulty, and every post brings me remonstrances from Chiefs as to why they have been forgotten What fault have they committed that they are not sent for ? This is really gratifying. It is the heart of a people. It does one good all through." But how has this kindly feeling been excited 4 ? What charm has converted those who were im placable foes, or at best discontented allies, into faithful and devoted friends, on whom implicit reliance can be placed in th e hour of trial ? It was the magical effect of justice and libera lity. They had witnessed the manner in which he (Lieutenant-Colonel EDWARDES) had acted towards his followers on the previous occasion The Anglo-Indian Government had responded fairly to his demands, and they are now eaping the reward. We shall, however, let him speak for himself. He says : " The Peshawurees had often heard that I had been grateful in getting rewards for my followers after the Mooltan war ; but they were not prepared to see such a demonstration from the other end of the Soolimanee Mountains. It excites their better feelings, and will do them good too. Al yesterday I was busy fitting out 700 horse and foot levies (Mooltanee) to reinforce NICHOLSON at Jullundhur. How all the liberality shown to these Mooltanees after the war of 1848-49 is now repaid, in the alacrity with which they rush to our side again to help us ! They are now invalu able, and so glad to see me again ; it is quite a pleasure in the midst of this howling wilderness." " Events have indeed taken a wonderful turn." It was mainly against these very inen that the Bengal Army was organised, and such vast stores of am munition and all the materiel of war collected together at Delhi ! Now they are rendering the most valuable services against the wretches who proved " unfathful to their salt," and are in com pany with English troops assailing the stronghold, garrisoned for the purpose of keeping them in subjection. We live, indeed, in strange eventful times, when the parts of the actors in the Indian drama can be so completely re-cast; and the secu rity of the British supremacy is guaranteed by the efficient efforts of our quondam opponents on the western and north-western frontiers. Lieut.-Colonel EDWARDES speaks impressiVely of the prejudicial consequences that may arise from the protracted resistance of Delhi. He says, "The delay damages our reputation, and encou rages the belief, artfully disseminated by the Brahmins and Moollahs, that all prophecies agree that the English rule is now to end. So the deluded people rise here and there, and add to the anarchy and confusion. We trust that 20,000 soldiers are now embarking from England, but they cannot reach till September, and you may judge what has to be endured, and done, during the intervening months." This is the most power ful commentary on the vital importance of prompti tude and energy in such a crisis. Under existing circumstances, it was not practicable to hazard a general assault on Delhi. The beleaguering force had to wait for reinforcements, just as General WHIR' had at Moolt m. All that could be done was to take up a position before the City, and to main tain it against all the odds of men and " artillery (taken out of our own magazines)" that could be brought against us ! How different would it have been, if either of the rival telegraphs had been constructed, either by the Red Sea or the Eu phrates ! Then the painful tidings would 'nave been anticipated by a full month, and Parliament still assembled, would have insisted on the most rapid and effectual means being adopted. Every soldier that could be spared from the Cape or from the different stations in the Mediterranean would have been hurried on without a moment's delay, and the Overland route, and our own screw men-of war would have been, made available to the utmost extent, despite of all the resistance of Sir CHARLES WOOD and the red-tapists. Hundreds of artillery men might be sent as ordinary second-class pas sengers by every steamer, and uo objection would or could be made on the part of either SULTAN or Pacha, of the Ottoman or the Egyptian Govern ment.

FATAL ACCIDENT TO ADMIRAL HAWTATNE.—NOR wicu, Sept. 9.—A. fatal accident occurred last ever.ing to Admiral Hawtayne. The gallant admiral wns wall ing on the south pier at Lowestoft with a little girl and a lady, her mother, and, the evening bang very dark, he, fell over the side of the pier. The water was very shallow, but the admiral sustained a concussion of the brain, and died in about half an hour. The accident was first discovered by the screams of the little girl, who also fell off the pier with the admiral, and whose cries attracted her mother to the spot. The child was happily rescued. The late Admiral Bruat presented to the cathradral of St. Pierre, in Martinique, a large bell Which formed part of the booty taken by the French at Kertch ; and on the ' 26th July the bell was baptised on the island with great pomp. The admiral's reason for presenting the bell to Martinique was that he was formerly governor of the French West India Islands. THE CAFE.—IMMIGRATION GRANT.—In the summary of intelligence from the Cape Argos it is stated that 50,0001. were• voted by the Cape Parliament for immi gration purposes. At the meeting of the New Brunswick and Nova Se itia Land Company yesterday the accounts showed a net profit of 6781. 18s., out of which a dividend of ss. per cent. was declared.

THE NORWICH MUSICAL FESTIVAL—The approach- ing festival is likely to prove even more attractive than any of the former festivals, and everything, we are assured, will be done to sustain the high character the precedirg ones have acquired. TEA IN BELFAST.--The number of pounds of tea entered for consumption at Belfast for the week ending Sept. 5, was 42,1891b5., against 34,8051b5. the previous, making a total of 1,563,3151 be.

Count de Punon-Rostro has been promoted to the rank of major-general. THE BISHOP RELENTS.—It is understood that the Bishop of Exeter has intimated his intention of forth with licensing the Church of England portion of the Tiverton cemetery. His lordship proposes consecrating it on his return from Durham, where he is at present located.—Exeter Plying Post. THE "TIMES" AT MADRID.—The police now go round to the cafes and reading-rooms, and seize the learned which has branded Concha as a slave dealer, and as having availed himself of his position, as Captain-General of Cuba, to traffic in human flesh, and perpetrate other abominations. We are informed that Mr. Coppock and the other directors of the Royal Surrey Gardens Company have made an offer in writing to resign, provided that the names of five other gentlemen wiling to undertake the management of the company's affairs be submitted to them.

BRUFJRD, DYER, AND CO. —T'fie Bristol Ga,:ette says deed of a signment required at the meeting of creditors of this firm has been es o ited. It is expected that the private property of Mr. Beeston, one of the par there, wilt realise (30,0001., and that a first dividend of from 51. to 6E. 81. in the pound well be paid within three mouths. The account ants to the estate are sanguine that the ultimate loss to the creditors will not exceed 64. 81. in the pounl. A curious circumstance cocurred a 'few days ago ,t Hay, e : a boa constrictor, received fierier Braz 1, laid an egg, and almost immediately a serpent about l feet one issued from it. No preparations having been made to receive the young boa, it died soon after of It is not yet too late to do so. We should not lose a moment in the vain expectation that the outlay may not be required. The safety, honour, and welfare of Great Britain hang in the balance. As we have already st tted, every pound promptly and judiciously expended, would have saved four times, aye, probably ten times the amount at a future day, and prevented some at least of the fearful and heartrending sufferings, that must be com pletely avenged. We may now expect new accounts almost every hour. We fear, however, that they will not he such as to authorise any relaxation of our exertions, but rather what will induce us to strain every nerve to the uttermost, to sustain the gallant soldiers now at the scone of action, and to ♦indicate the prestige of the British name, and bring well-merited retribution on the sanguinary miscreants who have committed atro cities scarcely paralleled in any time or country. Advices from Constantinople of the sth inst. announce two facts—first, " that the Persians have evacuated Herat ; and, secondly, that FUAD PASHA had been appointed President of the,Tan zimat Council, in the place of REDSCIIID PASHA." The first is a very satisfactory piece of intelli gence. Serious apprehensions had fvr some time been entertained that tho'SyArr was not disposed to carry out faithfully tho obligations which ho had contracted, and which led to the conclusion of the Persian war. This was the natural result of the tardiness displayed in the evacuation of Herat. He might easily have considere I that England's difficulty was Persia's oppor tunity, or he might have been stimulated 1 -)Y secret foes to a violation of his engage ments. It was obvious that, while any doubt remained, we should maintain a sufficient force, ready t o ac t , foorntutnhaetePlyerf t been e r r e r m it o o v ry This obstacle ,an d obstacle has now, we m ay direct all ou r energies and all out rc sources to the crushing of the Indian rebellion, and the exemp lar y p unis hment of the blood ' thirsty miscreants, who stained their hands, not only in the blood of their own officer,,, but of English women and English children. 1 The disgrace of REDSCHID EICHA, for to that cold.

PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING. • The ilioniteur has some nomisations and pro motions in the Legion of Honour, and in the army, navy, and public professorships. Various rumours continue to fly about concern ing the meetings of crowned heads that are to take place Mote the end of the month. Most of them are hardly worth repeating, and probably are mere inventions or conjclctures. The one that seems to obtain most credit it that the Emperor of the French and the King of Prussia will meet at Darmstadt, after the meeting of the former Sove reign with the Emperor Alexander at Stuttgard. The Debats says : "The Unifiers to-day prophesies, with texts of Scrip ture, the fal. of England, and declares her summoned to the judgment of God. 'They lashed Catholic truth,' says the Univers, with the prosperity of Eng land. See (they said) is not Protestant England the freest, the richest, the a'r mgest nation in the world ? They can no longer use this argument, since England is condemned to perish.' 'Yet a little,' says the Univers, and we shall less often hear it asked what England would have gained by remaining Ca tholic ? She would have gained this—she would have made herself in India a solid empire, and she would not havo been overthrown at a blow, shamefully hustled (bousealee)' One can hardly discuss such arguments, attired in such language. Let us, however, point out to the Univers that.its prophetic ardour makes it lose sight of the past, and of the lessons of history. Certainly it is grievous to be threatened with the loss of an immense colony, even when one possesses many others that are tranquil and prosperous, but it is yet more grievous to, have lost all one's colonies or to have none to Lise, and that is the condition of the most Catholic nations in the world—Spain and Portugal. The preJent difficulties of England are the attributes and the natural and legiti mate compensations of power and prosperity. Before rloicing at them, and proudly congratulating onself on being exempt front them, it would be well to reflect that it is already something to have so much to lose, and that it enables the loser boldly to support the comparison with those who have nothing. It is not then yet time to point opt the effects of Divine vengeance in the situation of Eng'atid, and to declare that heresy has been fatal to her power , but it is always time for the Unifiers bo promulgate and inter pret the decisions of Heaven, at the risk of finding itself at variance with those of common sense." The Prefect of Police addres - ies a circular to the commissaries of police iu Paris, directing them to visit all the shops of dealers in meat, fruiterer:4, grocers, salted meats, and smoked hams and sausages. They are to do this simultaneously, and all food unfit for consumption is to be seize 1 and, at the expense of the parties, conveyed to certain persons (horse slaughterers) therein named. Fats intended for manufacturing purposes are excepted, but they must Le mixed with turpentine to prevent their use in food. A veterinary surgeon, a chemist, or a physician is to bpi called in in case of dispute as to the fitness of articles of food for consumption. In all instances the offence is to be returned to the prefecture with the name of the offender in a proces 'verbal, to be presented under the law of the 27th March; 1855.

Srit,—Can you acquaint your readers why the seven battalions of Foot G-uarcli ax 3 kept idling about the streets of London and other favoured places, instead of being sent (at least 3 or 4 of them) to the scene of action in India ? In putting this question lately to an old Guardsman, he said, "Oh, the Guards are not enlisted for any service out of Europe ! And further, they are required to attend on the Sovereign and to do other duties of honour." _ Now, with regard to the first of these objections, does it appear on the face of each man's attestation that he cannot be called on to serve out of Europe? In the second case, can it be believed that our present most popular Sovereign would require or wish for such . a fine body of efficient troops being kept at home so!ely for the purpose I have men tioned ? Would she not feel secure, and have suf ficient honour paid her by the body of regular troops that would still be kept in England? I frilly believe 'that - the Queen 1'6°04 ! With regard to the defences of the nation, I presume to' say they might fairly be trusted to its militia (if wholly embodied), and united with such regiments of th; line as would be available at home, together with the depots of those abroad. " Up Guards and at them." Yours obediently, AN OLD 7Tir FUSILIER. September 9th, 1857.

SIR,—,We have the pleasure to inform you that a telegraphic despatch from Cagliari, dated Sept. 9, announces to us that the submarine cable connect ing Europe and Africa has bean successfully laid between Bona and Cape Teulada. The communi cation between Teulada and Spartivento, a distance of 17 miles, has to be made before regular tele graphic communication can be"opened with Algeria. The cable is a heavy one, with four conducting wires, and has been laid successfully in above 100 nauts, of 1,600 to 1,700 fathoms water. The total distance covered is 124 nauts, or 145 miles. We are, Your faithful servants, R. S. NE WALL & CO. 24, Abingdon-street, Westminster, Sept. 10, 1857. The expedition, under the command of Messrs. Newall, the engineers, started from Cagliari, on the Sardinian coast, with the cable in the hold of the Elba, and began paying it out, commencing from the African coast at Bona, on the Algerine frontier. Among the principal members of the ex pedition were the Cavaliers Bonelli, Minister of Telegraphs in Sardinia ; M. Siemens, Minister of Telegraphs for Prussia ; M. Branvillo, represen tative of the French Government telegraphs, with Mr. J. W. Brett, the concessionaire of the line and originator of the submarine telegraph system. Pre liminary operations were commenced on Monday, and. the entire cable was safely submerged, and communication effected with either coast on Wed nesday evening. The distance between Cagliari and Bona is 150 miles, an island of rock called Galota only intervening a short distance from the African coast. The weight of the cable in tilt former ex periment that failed was at the rate of 8 tons per mile, whereas the weight of the cable now so success fully submerged has been reduced to about I.i tons to the mile, or about equal to that of the Atlantic cable, and this, added to the perfection of the ma chinery for paying out, and the skill of the engi neering manipulation, tended greatly to facilitate the operation. The bed of the MediterraneAn being of a soft chalk and shelly character, similar to that . of the Channel between Dover and Calais, fur- Dishes an excellent place of deposit for the cable. There aro four copper - wires for the electiic com munications, twisted spirally one over the other. Every assistance was afforded by the French and Sardinian Governments to the company, who have an exclusive privilege granted them for 50 years by the two government?, the French Government giving a guarantee of interest of 4 per cent. on 180,0001., and the Sardinian 5 per cent. ou 120,000/. About one-half the quantity of cable required to extend the Mediterranean telegraph from Sardinia to Malta, and from Malta to Corfu, is manufactured, and as soon as the other half is ready these places will be brought into the range of telegraphic con nection with England and the Continent. THE INDIAN TELEGRAPH VIA THE EUPHRATES VALLEY. The following information, derived from an authentic source, is a practical illustration of the security cf a telegraph through Syria and Mesopotamia, and of the wisdom of the Porte in refusing to incur the responsi bility of protecting it : The reports of sarious disturbances in Syria and of the disorganised state of t'aat important province of the Turkish empire which have been current in Paris for some days past, are fully confirmed by the following letter received from B, yrout, dated the 10th of Aug. : " Our merchants are in a state of great uneasiness ; and if order be not restored in the country all transactions with the interior will Lecome impossible. The mail which left this on the 10th inst. for Damascus was plun dered at a distance of six leagues from Beyrout by the Druses, and two of the guards were severely wounded. Cash to the amount of 182,000 piastres was carried off by the highwaymen. Of this money 100,000 piasters belonged to the local government, and the remainder to private persons. The Emir of the Druses has written to the Deftarder here to say that he took this money to indemnify himself for the arrears of pay due to him for several years. The local authorities, in place of punish ing the malefactor-4, are imposing fresh taxes on the people to replace the money stolen. News of a still more disastrous nature has been received here. It is said that the great caravan, which left Damascus for Bagdad two moths since, has been completely plundered by the Bedouins of the tribe of Chammar. This caravan, cimposed of 1,250 camels, carried merhcandise worth 15,000,000 piastre3. The drivers in want of water turned from the direct road to reach a branch of the Tigris or Euphrates, and while-in the Desert the caravan was attacked and pillaged. This news has caused great anxiety among the merchants hero, who still hope that it will not be confirmed." MR. TOWNSEND, 31:P.-MEETING AT WOOLTVICII. A crowded public meeting was held last night at the Lecture-ball, Nelson-street,Woolwich, for the purpose, as stated in the handbills, of bearing from Mr. Town send, M.P. fur Greenwich, an account of his parlia mentary conduct during the late session. Mr. Eugene Murray took the chair. Mr. Townsend, who was re ceived with great cheering, after recapitulating the quer tious on which he had voted during the session, stated that until property qualification was abolished, and a very large extension of the suffrage obtained, the peoi le would never be able to send members of their own choice. After referring to his labours to obtain ald i tional pay for the dockyard labourers, be promised in the next session of Parliament—and he should be there in spite of Iris enemies—(loud cheers)—to submit a motion to increase the wages of govern ment labourers to lfis. a week. He had been in busi ness at Greenwich fourteen years, and until recently no man ever had to call upon him twice for a debt. Mr. Townsend then entered into detail with a view to prove that at the period of his election he possessed the requisite legal qualification, and that his subsequent difficulties were caused by the persevering efforts of a solicitor whom he name 1 , and who had boasted 'that he would drive him from his seat. He had just begun to find his way about the House of Commons ; be had to the utmost of his ability served his constituents ; and it now became a question whether he should eJatinue to serve them—(cries of " Yes")—or not. If they,wished him to resign his seat, be would not be a stubborn man ; but if otherwise, his enemies should not wrest the seat from him. It gas the caws of the constituency he was Belting. His enemies did not object to him as John Townsend the auctioneer, but as John Townsend the member of Parliament. Mr. Townsend resumed his seat amidst the most uproarious applause. A resolution of coufid‘nce is Mr. Townsend was unanimously passed. CRYSTAL PALACE , FLOWER Snow.—As we antici pated, the fine weather of yesterday brought down large numbers to the Crystal Palace. A flower show at a shilling i 3 really a novelty, and must have been doubly so to many of the visitors yesterday. Toe specimens of fruit and flowers, especially the former, retain all their bloom and freshness, and bid fair to be as attractive to day as they were on Wednesday. Not the lea-t interest ing portion of the show is the AMateurs and Cottagers' Collection. In this the exhibits show a great advance on last year, both in quantity and quality, and the fruit and vegetables would do no disxedit to professional growers. The Crystal Reface Company has originated an idea that is likely to be of real service in the promo tion of private hortnulture. CRYSTAL PALAOd'.—ONE SHILLING DAY.—THIIRSDAY, SEPT. 30 -- , -Admission on payment, 13,252 ; ditto, by season tickete; 1,375 ; total, 14,627. Exaggerated ani alattining reports have been circu lated to the effect that a solicitor has absconded, leaving liabilities to the amount of about 150,0001., represented in part by forged bills. It is added that one of the Lon don joint stock hanks is a heavy sufferer. The facts of the case appear to be as follows :—Mr.T. Dean, solicitor, 'of 7,.Kine's Bench Walk, Temple, has absconded. We believe, Cowever, that the total amount of his liabilities, so far as can be ascertained, does not exceed 25,000/. ; that the circle of sufferers scarcely exceeds, half a doz persons, chiefly his own relatives and immediate clients; and that the sum in which the bank referred to is inte rested is under 2,0001 , and may be partially covered by other securities. Mr. Dean lived, in apl tin way, at 13arnes Common. Hie practice was never extensive, but be bad been some 25 or 30 years in - tLe profession.- -Daily News. FRENCH AND ENGLISH FIsHERILEN.—On Wednesday Louis Gifford, master el the No. 299 of Dieppe, and N. Germs, master of the N-,. 3IS, of Boulogne, were brought before the North Shields magistrates by Lieut. Simpson, of the Octer, charged with ,fishing within a mile and a half of the Northumberland coast, and the charge being proved against them, they were each fined 101. arid costs. Lieut. Eimpsoo, in answer t, a question from the Mayor, stated that the English fishermen complain( d very much of the damage done to their nets by the French boats Jibing upon the English ground. lie stated that the c.e v of a French lugger bad been guilty of a very mali,nant act on the previou night. Tuey b a d sailed their veseti with a grapnel iron over h r at .rn, through a fleet of English boats, and tore away five or s x of their nets. The crew had, however, coy, red their number, and the English fishermen had not been enabled to ident fy the vessel. At present about 150 large. French ;uggene in impel with crews of from 15 to 20 men each, are fishing for herrings in the North Sea. As wo have before stated, by international tr at:y the fishermen of either )unlety are prohibited from fishing within three miles of their neiglibcurs' coast ; but the Di itish Admiralty have only provided one stEarner this season to cruise between the Humber and Berwick, and protect 150 miles of coast. Of course, all the best fishing is within thi_e milts of the lawl, and, as the' crews of the French loggers Ex ceed in number the men en Board our boats three t one, they have literally the possession of the hi rring fishing, and do as they like ; fur it is not found that the one solitary steamer can keep up any sort of regulation along such a solitary line of coast. HARVEST ROMES. On Thursday, Sept. 3, the second annual celebration of the Harvest Home, on that better principle which we hope in time to seegeneraily adopted by all parishes, took place in the village of Buxton, near Norwich, under auspices far more favourable than the heavy rains of the preceding day had led us to expect, and with a succes , equal to that which attended the festivities of last year on a similar occasion, having been honoured with the pre sence of the Lord Bishop of the diocese, who had ac cepted the invitation of the Rev. W. J. Stracey, vicar of the parish. The sun gave its warmth and cheerfulness to the scene, which was one of animation especially in the grounds of the vicarage, where a capacious tent had been gaily prepared for the entertainment of nearly 500 guests, and where a pretty triumphal arch was erected over the entrance to the lawn. At 10 a.m. the large assembly of labourers, with their wives and children, met together at the Lodge Farm, where a procession was formed, headed by a capital brass band provided by Messrs. Collins, of Lamas, which was followed by a car, bearing an ornamented wheat-sheaf, then came some of the children belonging to the national school, and after them the different companies attached to the farms in the parishes of Buxton and Oxnead, each one preceded by their chief, carrying a banner, on which was painted a suitably motto. On entering the village church the large concourse of people were conducted to their seats by the churchwardeus, and we could not but admire the simple, but tasteful decorations which had been made—the screen entwined with corn, the pillars wreathed with oak leaves and acorns, and the white banners, on which, in red letters, were inscribed appro priate texts from Scripture, and were crowned with chap lets of wheat ears, arranged on either side of the whole length of the church. As soon as the bells had ceased the national anthem was well performed as the opening Vo luntary, while the officiating clergy, followed by the Lord Bishop of the diocese, walked to their respective seats. The daily morning prayer was read by the Vicar, the musical porthm of theservice being sustained by the parish choir, who in the. chorus "The Heavens are taken from Haydn's Creation, exhibited such a precision and skill as must rank them far superior to the etandarl ordinarily attained by our country choirs. While the 100th Psalm was being sung the Bishop ascended the pulpit, and at its conclusion proceeded to deliver, from the text, Isaiah, 9th chapter, 31 verse, "They joy before Thee according to the joy in harvest," a most eloquent and impressive sermon, which was listened to throughout with the deepest attention. His Lordship, in addition to treating the subject with special reference to the happy occasion, and setting before his hearers the nature and cause of true Christian thankfulness, concluded his most excellent discourse with a percussive appeal in behalf of the two great Church Missionary Societies, representing it to the congregation as a moat fitting opportunity for rendering a thankoffer. ing to the gracious Giver of a!1 our spiritual and temporal blessinras. The appeal was liberally responded to by a collection of upwards of 81., which was equally divided between t! e Society for the Propagation of the Gosptl and the Church Missionary Society. At the conclusion of the service the young organist performed the Hallelu jah Chorus, and the merry peal again rang forth from the old church tower, while the procession was refortned as before, aed proceeded through the village to the vicar age lawn, where soon the ample supply of roast beef, plum pudding, and ale vanished at the attack of nearly 500 guests. When grace had been said by the vicar at the end of the repast, " The Health of the Queen" was given with three times three, and the choir singing the National Anthem. The Rev. Win. Stracey then proposed "Tim Health of the Bishop," to which his lordship replied in terms which won the attention, as well as the hearts, of all, assuring his hearers of the pleasures he was experiencing on this the first occasion of his presence at a harvest home of the kind, and conclud ing his remarks with the presentation of the first two prizes on the list, a Bible arid a Prayer-book, addressing the aged recipients in most kind and impres sive language. The next toast, given by Mr. John Wright, who headed the table on the right of the vicar, was "The Health of the Committee," to whose praiseworthy efforts were mainly attributable the arrangements and success of the day, and here, too, the party constantly evidenced their pleasure by re peatedly cheering the warm and hearty expressions coming from so old and respec!ecl a parishioner. A harvest song was then sung by the choir, and thanks were briefly re turned by members of the committee. The last toast of the day, which was admirably given by Mr. T. R Allen, was " The Health of the Labourers and their Wives and Families, to which a venerable parishioner of their own class responded. The band, with its enlivening strains . , now attracted the people outside the tent, and after due time had been allowed for the indulgence of the smokers, the sports began, consisting of foot-racing, wheeling barrows blindfolded, jingling matches, throw ing weights, &c. ; to the winners in which prizes of some value were distributed, such as agricultural im plements, gowns for their wives, waistcoats, &e. After tea and buns had been partaken of, a very supe rior display of fireworks was exhibited by Mr. Baiter, of Norwich, and this concluded the festivities of the day, in which both high and low would seem to have shared. The numerous party quietly se parated to their respective homes, after having given three hearty cheers for their vicar ; and thus ended a very happy day, blessed, we trust, by d, sanctioned by the cordial support of the bishop of the diocese, and profitable in many ways to the labouring poor. A FRENCH VETERAN.—" Among the old soldiers who have applied at the Chanceßorie of the Legion of Honour for the Saint Helena medal," says the Cons " was an old man named llarmond, resding at Li, Chapelle St. Denis. This veteran, who is 107 years of has a whiio beard which descends to his waist. He still walks with a firm step, and with his head upright." A NOBLE REWARD.—Thomas lichens, the fisherman, who was the means of saving the Extuouth, ninety gun screw ship, when embayed among the rocks in a cove near Kynance, in April la t, has been rewarded by the Admiralty with the sum of Si. for saving an English line-of-battle ship with a crew of 700 or 800 souls. A LARGE FAILURE.—A letter from Prague of the sth, in the IVanderer of Vienna, says :—" The house of Pol lack has declared itself bankrupt. Its assets amount to 100,000f15., and its liabilities to 340,000. Yesterday the house of Kanders also failed with a deficit of 90,000fls." The ceremony of the inauguration of the statues of the poets Wieland, Schiller, and Goethe took place on the 4.h at Weimar, with great enthusiasm, in presence of a numerous crowd. This feeling was excited by the ani mated speeches delivered by the Aulic Councillor Schoen at the statue of Wieland, and by M. Heiland, director of the Gympase, at those of Schiller and Goethe. The Grand Duchess solemnised this fete by appropriating a sum of 10,000 Orders for the foundation of a deaf and dumb asylum. THE AELFAST RlOTS.—Every evening since Sunday there has been a continuance of the riot in Belfast. The rabble broke the windows of several churches on Monday and Tuesday night. Collectors were sent round among the Roman Catholic popu!ation to gather subscription s fcr the purpose of meeting the fines -imposed upon their co-religionists by the magistrates. The town is now quiet, however. LIMERICK AND ENNIS RAILWAY.—The works on this line are progres-ing satisfactorily. The embankments are almost completed and the line railed in several parts. The rails have been laid down permanently from the junction of the line near the city termini to the it n bridge which crosses the Shannon at Corbally. A locomotive will be placed on the line in a few weeks. It is expected that the line be opened to Newmarket on-Fergus, in the end of October.—Munster News. ACCIDENT FROM WINDOW CLEANING. Yesterday morning a frightful accident occurred to ayoung woman, named Jane Frazer, servant at Milfoyle's, Barnsbury road, Islington. It seems the young woman was en gaged cleaning outside the second floor window, when she fell on to the spikes of the area railings which entered her thighs, and she bung suspended for a moment, when the flesh tore away, and she then descended on to the stone flags beneath, her skull being fractured. No hopes are entertained that she can survive..

THE WASTE GROUND OF NBW FAtRINGDON-STREET —On Wednesday night, at a meeting of the board of governera and directors of the united parishes of St. Andrew, Holborn, and St. Ge o rge the - Martyr , half at the board room, Gray's-inn-lane, Mr, Hagger in the chair, Mr. Watson moved a resolution: " That a cnnnuittee be appointed to wait upon the Board of Works for this district and f,e• tho district of Clerkere ere% to urge upon them the necessity of their pressing the c )ri o atisn of the ety of London to take active measures to encourage the covering of this ssrsite ground In Said!' on-hill, Saint Sepulchre, :and vicinity, as speedily as possible." His reason for bringing for ward the resolution was the groat injury the neigh bourhood sustained from so many houses being pulled down, and the gr 'mod allowed to lie wa3te for such a long period, of which his neighbours dee;dy complained. The probability of the Metropolitan Rail way Company requiring the ground was now at an end, as the Great Northern Railway Company, on account of the Redpath swindle, and the Great Western, on count of the diminution cf their dividend, were u nable so ass st the Metropolitan Rail Nay Company in carrying mai. their scheine. , From his experience of the torpor. - Lion of London they were very slow coaches uuless pushed on, The Act for making the new street was passed 20 yeats ago, awl when the Clerkonwell commis sioners (weld not tinny it out it was transferred to the c'ty, and a i additional tax hail upon coals to defray the co.t, so that she corperetion were acting as trustees for tee benefit of the public. It had been computed that 1,600 houses hal been pulled down for making the new street, which, at an avernie cf leopers ens to a house, mal 3 a population of 16,000 persons displaced to seek A home elsewhere, but some had estimated the number of person, living in these at four times that amount, and the money they expended was very important to the neigh. bourhoed. T t eie depopulation had caused a great increase in the local taxation upon the remaining inhabitants, There was the strongest necessity for pressing the cor porati , n to sell the land ferbu l n l o li i :g e , o t m o p c ie o t m io p n le . te l t i h r e irn provements for the benefit of the public, and put a n en d Cottle W. to the i s n e j c u o r n y de s d u - s t t il a e in iso e .e db l y ution, its which was unanimously adopted. LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) CITY SHERIFFS' COURT. (Rl.fore Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.) THE RULES OF COURT.-CAUTION TO DEFENDANTS. WOOLLET V. HINCII, This was an action to recover the sum of 261. for goods sold. Mr. Huddlestone appeared as counsel for the plain tiff, and the defendant appeared in person. The defendant said that lie had paid the money into court, and complained of the extra expenses he had been . put to through the engagement of counsel and the fees hearing.ut The Soicitor's Clerk said that the brief was not de' livered to counsel till mid-day yeterday, in the hoP° that defendant would settle, but he had not done so until the last moment, and it was necessary to pa y the h.qring fees before plaintiff could apply to the C.Jur, for CO2to; Ar.r. Huddlestone said that there was a notice on the back of the summons to the effect that unless the judg ment was confessed five days before the day nj hearing, he would be subject to further costs, therefore the de• fendant could not plead ignorance. Defendant said the costs would be 9 or 10 guinea°, and he had never disputed the debt, but from a pressure o circumstances he had been unable to pay; but he ha d dealt with Mr. Woollet to the amount of several thou; sands, and he could not believe that Mr. Woollet had pressed matters to this point. Mr. Huddlestone said that the professional gentlemen who instructed him were far above going on for costs , The Solicitor's Clerk said it was necessary to e mploy counsel, as the Court would only hear attorney or 0000. eel. His Honour said there was no rule to that effect ; h e would hear any one who could give evidence, • Defendant said he bad repeatedly admitted the debt, and had written to the plaintiff's attorney to that effee' His honour read the letter produced, and said that it was without any other evidence sufficient to establish the case, and therefore there was no necessity for rata hr ing counsel. The Clerk said that the defendant might have den the case in Coto, or not appeared at all. Mr. Huddlestone said that the case if properly d' fended was slot quite so easy as defendant chose to ma l l it appear, for if defendant had resisted great addit ion& expense must have been incurred, and which must 11 0° fallen upon himself ultimately. His Honour said that defendant had not comp with the rules of the Court, and must therefore bear the consequences. The learned counsel had been retitled, and he must be paid, and all costs out of pocket , het nothing for preparing the brief. COSTS OF ACCOUNTANTS IN BANKRUPTCY—SAFFE RS V. DEWING. This was an action tried yesterday, and is of 0 0e ; siderable importance to persons having their aff, v a lr g settled by accountants. The plaintiff was descri be ' an accountant, and sought to recover the sum of 1 b for services rendered on the defendant passing throug the Court of Bankruptcy. • tiff, Mr. Clarke, of Bedford-row, appeared for the Ow e A : and Mr. W.
