They are, indeed, deeply in teresting, coming simultaneously from Calcutta and Bombay, and being far more copious than those usually given. The remonstrances of the Press have thus proved beneficial, and we may look forward to further improvement. The first name on every lip will be that of HAVE LOCK—the first thought of every heart, that respect ing the proceedings of his " handful of heroes." It was known by the last mail that aftsr a succession of triumphs he had been compelled to retrace his footsteps, in order to leave his sick and wounded in a safe position, where they could obtain the as sistance so urgently required, and where the cap tured guns which could not be rendered avail able, might be secured against any probable con tingency. He did not long remain in the enjoy ment of the ease so nobly earned, and so much required. Although his force had been "reduced by exposure, fatigue, sickness, and constant fight ing," he only rested a few days. He again started on the 4th of August, despite the over whelming odds he was compelled to encounter, en route for Lucknow. Two battles were fought, in both of which he was suc cessful, capturing the guns of the rebels. Bithoor had been reoccupied by 4,000 men and fi►e pieces of cannon ; and though his re turn to Cawnpore was only on the 13th August, he had again routed the mutineers and taken the stronghold, which, as the residence of the mis creant, NANA SAHIB, is greatly thought of by friends and foes, on the 16th. Ho was, however, compelled to await adequate reinforcements before he could attempt to relieve Luckaow, which wa still placed in jeopardy, and where the gallant BANICS had shared the fate of his distinguished leader—Sir H. LAWRENCE. To move onwards, ruttier existing circumstances, would be an act of gable folly, almost of insanity—leading to the eert"ht annihilation of his followers, who had bQern resit:teed to 900 in the formidable triali they hafteneountered. It is feared that he could not reAve the indispensable reinforcements be fore a fortnight f rom the date of the last despatohes.

It is incidentally mentioned AA tile assailants of Lucknow aro under his corn and it is therefore possible that a ilctitiou; fttrtlatm obtained currency, and VIA the atrocious *meant was still( " cumbering the earth" at the time of the last advices. A 4 'Delhi matters remain/inn state quo, but tburc wit 9 every reason to hope that a few days would reatly alter the state of affairs. Genera! NICHOLSON had actually arrived on the 12th of August at the British. Camp, and his troops were expected ou the following day. Several sorties have been made by the rebels, but in every instance our brethren have vindicated the honour E S U ES 1 tr -, TU 1 3- 9 1 1,1 1 1 1 1 R of the British name, and discomfited their assail ants. It was anticipated that there would be 11,000 trustworthy men before Delhi by the 15th of August, three Pays from the date of our last ad vices, and that the grand attack would be hazarded about the 20th August, so that we may learn the result by the next mail. We must not, however, feel any undue impatience for the downfall of the Rebel City. At present it renders valuable ser vice by attracting the great majority of the muti neers, and enabling them to be crushed almost at a single blow, whenever that blow can be properly aimed against them. At Agra all was well in the Fort on the 11th August, and there were abundance of provisions. Relief was of course anxiously looked for where there was so large a proportion of . non-comba tants, but we hope and believe that there is but little danger of our women and children encountering a fate similar to that of the refugees at Cawnpore. There is but little to be dreaded while our men can fight, and famine does not assist the efforts of the rebels. That is our chief, our only dread for Lucknow and Agra. If provi sions hold out we have but slight apprehensions of the prowess of the besieging miscreants, al though numbering 50 to 1. There has been some slight disaffection mani fested by a few soldiers of the Bombay Army, not, however, sufficient to induce us to doubt the fidelity of the general army. The Mohurrum has passed over quietly in that Presidency and in Bengal : so far as advices have been received many execu tions had taken place for treasonable practices. The utmost vigilance and severity were rendered necessary by the circumstances of the country, and the many conspiracies in operation. The formation of the Naval Brigade, under Captain PEEL, RN., to proceed so far inland, was a valuable experiment, from which we augur important results. A similar body earned for themselves before Sebastopol the thanks and gra titude of their countrymen. They were then, however, near their ships ; now they are to go many hundreds of miles inland. We have no doubt, however, that they will sustain the honour and furnish new and irresistible proofs of the efficiency of British seamen. Wednesday, the 7th of October, has been fixed as a day of national fast and humiliation. We may well humble ourselves for the disasters that have occurred, but we may be permitted to doubt if a lessening of our resources is the way to repair the evil. There has been gross mismanagement —great mistakes have been perpetrated—and the people are therefore to lose a day's work when they will have extra demands to meet. Lord PALMERSTON some years since obtained well merited praise for the judicious answer he returned to the demand of certain Scotch Ministers who me morialised the Government for a similar fast. He showed them that it was more fitting to adopt proper means to prevent disasters than to mourn over what was inevitable ; and yet the same Lo PALMERSTON, who ought to be the general director and manager, seems to have altered all his pre vious views, and to have entered on the course which he previously deprecated. It is true that he was not present at the Privy Council at which the proclamation was resolved on. Another influence might have prevailed, overruling his judgment, and deciding in opposition to the nominal head of i the Government. But he is the person responsible to the people, and he has to answer for the "loss of a day"—a serious matter when wages are to be deducted, and the scanty resources of humble householders diminished by the one-sixth of the earnings, or sixteen and two-thirds per cent. of the available week's income. It was supposed that a Sunday would have been selected, chiefly because no loss would have been thereby sustained, and also because there would not have been so great temptation to change the fast into a feast, to indulge in amusement rather than sorrow. Men will not, cannot be made religious by Acts of Parliament or Royal Procla mations. It must be their own natural impulses on which they act, and they will feel more dis posed to resent than to obey the direction. Those who cannot afford the loss of a day's wages will not accept the order in a very amiable spirit. Far better would it have been to devote the day's earnings to the relief of the Indian widows and orphans, to have applied the money, now irre vocibly sacrificed, to feeding the hungry, and clothing the naked, to succouring the sick and needy, or rendering assistance to all who are in any way afflicted in mind, body, or estate. The Mawworm faction has, however, triumphed for the time, and we may possibly ascribe the result to the absence of Lord PALMERSTON from the court circle. The resolution was adopted in the north of Scotland, not in the neighbourhood of the metropolis of the United Kingdom. Had the Premier been present we believe it would hove been very different. The members of the Council in attendance were the PRINCE CONSORT, Earl GRANVILLE, and Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY. They are alone entitled to credit (!) or censure. It is, however, strange that members of the Cabi net of which Lord PALMERSTON is the head should take a step so diametrically opposed to the pub lished views and opinions of their leader. COURT CIRCULAR. BALMORAL, SEPT. 27. Her Majesty the Queen, accompanied by their Royal Highnessea the Princess Helena and Prince Arthur, and attended by Lady Churchill, drove out yesterday ar- ternoon. The Prince Consort, accompanied by Prince Alfred, went out deer stalking. Earl Granville has , left Balmoral. Despatches were received at the Colonial-office yes terday from the Governor of Bermuda. The official journal of •Berlin announces that Prance Frederick William of Prussia had left for Weimar. The Doc de Grammont left Turin on the 25th for Paris. The experimental squadron of Admiral Trehouart arrived on the 24th at Mahon from Barcelona. Its officers were most cordially received by the population. The Swiss journals state that the Swiss legation at Paris, by order of the Federal Government, recently asked the French Government if Swiss officers would bo allowed to attend the camp at Chalons ; and the Mini4ter of War replied that theugh no official reception would be given to any foreign officers at the camp, all who might go wool] he certain of being well receive !, and of having every facility afforded them of witftessing the manceum 5. " The relations between Switzerland and the Grand Duchy of Baden," says a letter from Berne, " are becoming every day more friendly, and it is permitted to hope that the animosity whic'i arose from the insur rection of 1848 —when the Confederation gave an asylum to numerous refugees from Baden, and even t , a batt a li on near ly com pl e t e of the Body Guard of the Grand Duke—will soon• have cewed.

LATEST _NEWS THE MUTINIES IN INDIA. OFFICIAL DESPATCHES. The following telegram was received at the Foreign Office from the British Vice-Consul at Trieste, Sept. 29, 2.10 a.m. From Calcutta, Aug. 23, 1857. From G. F. Edmonstone, Esq., Secretary to ;he Government of India to the Hon. Secret Com- mittee. GENERAL HAVELOCK'S COLUMN. General Havelock, after pushing on half-way to Lucknow, and defeating the insurgents two or three times in the Oude province, was compelled by the weakness of his force, reduced by expo sure, fatigue, sickness, and const mat fighting, to withdraw to Mungutwar, six miles from the Ganges, and ultimately, on the 13th August, to recross with all his force to Cawnpore, where he now is ; Bithore having been mean while reoccu pied by mutineers from Sangor and others, num bering about 4,000, with five guns. General Havelock attacked it on the 16th, and carried the position, capturing two guns. His force is re duced to 900 men, who are worn out with fatigue and need repose, and he considers that to advance on Lucknow until reinforced would be to court annihilation. Adequate reinforcements it is feared cannot reach him in less than ten days or a fort night from the present time., Her Majesty's sth and 60th China troops having been, moreover, hero detained below, in consequence of the dis turbances in Beshar. No news later than 22d ult. from Lueknow, but by more recent native account the garrison were holding out well, and it is believed that they have managed to lay in additional provisions. General Havelock expects to be attacked simul taneously by the Muds (Oudes) insurgents from the left bank of the river, as well as from the side of Futtehpore, where boats were collecting, and from the direction of Cal(pee, where Gwalior mutineers, strong in artillery, threatened to cross and form a junction with the Oude rebels. A steamer has been sent down by the General to destroy the boats at Futtehpore, but his force is too weak to oppose the passage of the \Yuma (Jumna), at Callpee. The Oude people aro making aggressions on our villages to the north of the Ganges, and it is feared that communication between Allahabad and Banares may be inter- r upted. Delhi is still in the hands of the insurgents. Our accounts extend to the Bth of August. There appears to have been severe fighting on the 30th of July. The Ist and 2d instant, when the enemy, reinforced by troops from Neemuch, attempted to carry our position, they were repulsed as usual. Their loss is said to have exceeded 3,000 men, including 900 of the Neemuch force, who did not return to the city after the failure on the Ist, and they are reported to be really dispirited. On the Bth their powder manufactory in the city was blown up by a shell, and about 500 artificers are believed to have been destroyed, together with a large quantity of sulphur and saltpetre. They have been for some time short of English powder, and of fusees, and the supply of gun caps is said to be failing ; they daily manufacture pow der of inferior quality. The Kumagn Battalion of " Goorkhas" reached Delhi with treasure, am munition, and stores, on the Ist, and a reinforce ment of 1,300 Europeans and 3,000 Punjaubees, from the Punjaub, was expected to arrive on the 15th. Retrograde movement is now tftt thought of, though at one time it was talked of. No fight ing since the 2d inst. and 4 guns—had been detached by the political agent to intercept them if possible, either at the Sohages Ghut of the Jonse or at Sorce. In the direction of Allahabad, the Ruttra Pass was de fended, and it is hoped that by the one force or the other they may be attacked and dispersed. found neessslry to disarm 105 of the 12th Boni- bay Native Infantry, they having refused to obey their commanding officers, on the occasion of a drunken trooper raising an alarm that the Euro pean troops were about to murder them. A Court of Inquiry is now investigating this affair. AGRA, &e. News from Agra received up to the 11th inst . . All well in the fort and plenty of provisions. Garrison consists of 3d European Regiment and a European battery, both very weak. The whole Christian population is within the fort. Relief from the eastward urgently called for. There is a want of funds. Allyghur occupied by an agent of the King of Delhi. Goruckpore has been abandoned by the civil officers, with the whole of the Goorka force. They were ordered on the 11th to hold both Goruckpore and Azimghur if possible, other wise to bring the whole force to Azimghur and hold it, instead of moving on Allahabad as they intended. NATIVE STATES IN CENTRAL INDIA —BUNDELCUND, RAJPOOTANA, &c. Colonel Durand, the officiating agent, was last heard of on the 3d inst. Holkar is believed to be quite loyal, though appearances were against him. Of Scindia we have no trustworthy infor mation ; it is certain that he has taken the Regi ment of the Gwalior Contingent into his pay, but with what purpose we do net yet know. At Chore, in the Bhopal State, the Bhopal Contin gent is reported to have seizal same guns and a howitzer, and to have raised the Mahomedan standard. Amjchra, Rajah revolted, and took possession of Mehidpore ; he has been partially coerced by Holkar. The chief of Jhabooa has.behaved well in pro tecting Captain Hutchinson, the Bheel agent, and the other Europeans ; he has been thanked. The Rajah of Rewah is thoroughly true, and is aiding us in every way. The Punnah chief and others of Bundlecund are believed to be loyal. The conduct of the Jyc pore and Bhurtssore Sirdars is reported by the Lieutenant-Governor to have been very question able. All the other native states in Itsjpootana. were all right, and Ajmere quiet on the 31st ult. BENGAL AND BEHAR. Major Eyre, with 3 guns and about 150 Mac peens defeated the rebels under Kover Sing on the 12th instant, and relieved the Europeans who had been for some days besieged in a suiall house at Arrah, and with the aid of 50 Sikhs had gallantly defended themselves. Kover Sing has fled over the hill towards R)htas. On the 19th ho was at Akburtore Etas Ro hasgurh ; his brother Amur Sing, was in tho hills flanking the Grand Trunk road, and in Its neighbourhood there is insecurity, consequently all quiet, however, between Bmares and Sher ghotty. Seven lacs of treasure at Gya have beau brought into Calcutta by the collector, Mr. Alonz Money, with the aid of a few Europeans, and about 100 Sikh soldiers. The stations of Chupra, Chumparun, and zufferpore, which the civil officers had abandoned by order of Mr. Taylor the Commissioner, have been reoccupied, and tranquillity may soon be restond. Since the last mail Lift the sth Irre,4li l4r Cavalry, in the Santhal district, are en, route t) Arrab, and it is not known where they now are. A party of the Dnapore mutineers has been heard of about 18 miles south-west of Murz ►pore, as making for the Jumna somewhere about CA 1- pee, with the intention probably of joining the Gwalior mutineers, and ultimately the Oude in surgents. SQ l :llollewahtroops-750 infantry, 300 cavalry, NEEMUCH. There has been a disturbance at this place, of which the particulars are not fully known. Twenty-one troopers of the 2d Light Cavalry have deserted. ABOO.II. The detachment of the Joudpore Legion, 50 men, at this place, have mutinied, and are sup posed to have joined the Thakoor of Rowa, an outlawed chief, who is plundering villages and stealing cattle in the Seroi country Mbow, and the Bhopol contingent has mutinied at Sehgre. Colonel Burard reports the whole of Western Mahwa to be in a very disturbed state, and that a large body of men are collected at Mundisore. BOMBAY. GUZERAT.-With the exception of symptoms of disloyalty, immediately suppressed, in the terri tory of th 3 Rajah of Muudisore, tranquillity has been preserved in Guzerat. KHOLAPORE. The mutiny in the 26th Regiment has been suppressed ; 30 of the mutineers have been exe cuted ; others are undergoing their trial. The headquarters of the regiment at Kholapore and the detachment at Rutnagherry, have been disarmed. The detachment of European troops thrown into Rutnagherry, Belgaum, Dasnear, and Sawunt Whasree, have preserved tranquility in these districts. At Belgaum three men have been executed for treasonable practices, one of them a sepoy in the 29th N. I. In Bombay itself, the Mohurruni has passed off quietly. MADRAS. The Bth Madras Light Cavalry has been dis armed, for refusing to proceed to Bengal. HYDERABAD. Ail quiet at Hyderabad up to August 3 ; some apprehensions were entertained that the Chamea see Rajah of Sherapoor was meditating rebellion, but arrangements have been made for crushing him.

From the 10th to 17th, the "average". was "fine and high tamperature" as mentioned. Also,'frorn the 18th, a " dec'ine of temperature" continued to 24th. Near the 26th t., 30th, predictions " rainy or sturmy." G. T. F. SMITH. Northfield -terrace, Cheltenham, Sept. 26. The letters yesterday mention the failure of Messrs , Taylor and Bright, an old established firat in the corn trade. The event is consequent on the recent kopiiage of the bAnk of Harrison and Watson, and it is all+geri that Mr. Bright is indebted on Lis own account 90,000/. to that estaLlishment. MISCELLANEOUS. Lord Clarendon's message, dated 13th July, to Consul at Marseilles, and Sir C. Wood's, dated 14th, tl Consul at Cagliari, received. Upward of four hundred seamen and marines and twenty officers of Her Majesty's frigates Shannon and Pearl, have been formed into a Naval Brigade, and detached to the Upper Pro vinces. The brigade is furnished with ten &8- pounders, and two or three field pieces, taken from the above vessels. All left Calcutta on the 18th instant by steamer. All quiet at Nagpore and Hyderabad. By latest accounts the Punjaub quite tranquil. The 14th Native Infantry at Helym, who refused to give up their arms, destroyed. The 46th Native Infantry and wing of 9th Cavalry mutinied at Sealkote, and killed three or four officers, the ma jority finding shelter in the fort. The mutineers were attacked by Brigadier Nicholson on the 120, and again on the 16th, and hardly any escaped. Their spoil fell into our hands. The revenue in the Punjaub has been paid to the last farthing, and the most loyal spirit pre vails not only among the Sikh soldiery, but the population generally. The only apprehension is a failure of funds, At the end of September or October, the Government will give its attention to this ; meanwhile the local authorities have invited advances on loan fur one year at 6 per cent.,—result not yet reported. G. F. EDMONSTONE, Secretary to the Government of India, RAVEN. Trieste, 11'40, a.m., Monday. The following Telegram was received at the Fo reign Office, from the British Vice-Consul at Trieste, September, 29, 2.45 a.m. DELHI. The mutineers made great preparations for un attack on the '3lst of July, the eve of the Bukree ied festival, but nothing occurred beyond some desultory skirmishing. On the evening of August Ist they attacked the right of the British position, and maintained the contest through the night, and up to the afternoon of August 2.1. Our loss was very slight-10 killed, and 36 wounded—the :nen being kept well under cover. Capt. Fravers, 32d N. 1., serving with Lokos Rifles, was killed. On the 6th of August, the enemy's cavalry, supported by artillery, attacked the Metcalfe House picket, but not in any force. Lieutenant Brown, 33d N 1., attached to the Kumaon bat talion, was killed ; Lieut. Venion, artillery, and Lieut. Temple, Kumaon battalion, wounded. On ith August, skirmishing, with cannonades at intervals. A.powder magazine of the enemy exploded this day, with a loss, it is rumoured, cf 500 lives. On the Bth of August, a battery, constructed by the mutineers to enfilade our guns, was destroyed. Skirmishing was kept up for during that and the next three days. Our troops suffered very little. On the 12th, guns established outside Cash mere Gate were attacked by a force under Briga dier Showers, and, after a sharp contest, taken. They consisted of one 24 pounder howitzer ; two 7 and one 6-pounder. Our loss was severe, 112 killed and wounded,: among the wounded were the following officers :—Lieut. Sheradff, 2d Fusi liers, dangerously ; Brigadier Showers, Major Coke, severely ; Lieut. Lindsay, Horse Artillery ; Lieut.Mansell, Engineors ; Captain Greville, fst Fusiliers; Lieut, Owen, Ist Fusiliersieutenant Jones, 70th N. 1., slightly. Brigadier-General Nicholson arrived in camp on the Bth of August iu advance of his force. His troops were expected on the 13th and all would arrive by the 15th, on which date the army be. fore Delhi would number about 11,000 met. Further reinforcements, it was computed, would, early in September, increase our numbers to 15,000 men. It is generally expected that the assault on the city will take place on the 20th of August. The King is reported to be sending his Zenana (his harem) to flhotuck. AGRA. All well at Agra, Cawnpore, and Lucknow. The greatest anxiety is felt regarding Lucknow. General Havelock, after crossing the Ganges, de feated the enemy at Oonor on the 30th of July. Ou the 31st he attacked the enemy in a very strong position in the town of Busserat Gunje, and again defeated them with great slaughter, and took all their guns. His own loss was 83 killed a n d wounded. He then retired' on the captured artillery. On the sth of August he again ad vanced towards Lucknow, and gained two more victories. On the sth and on the 12th he then found the enemy strongly entrenched in their positions, and numbering 50,000 men. Finding it impossible to cut his way to Lucknow, in the face of such a force, General Havelock was com pelled to retire to Cawnpore and to wait for rein forcements. In the meantime, the position of the gallant garrison of Lucknow is most precarious. Major Banks, who has act3d as Commissioner since Sir H. Lawrence's death, has fallen, but the date of this melancholy occurrence is not stated. The facts above stat3d are drawn from newt, papers and private letters, but they are believed to be substantially correct. No official acc•Junt has yet been published. BENGAL. A party of the-Behrampore mutineers has be sieged Arrah, and a detachment of H.M.'s 10J► and 37th Regiments, advancing to relieve that place, was drawn into an ambuscade, and suffered very severely. Arrah has since been relieved by a force uLder Major Eyre. BEHRAIVIPORE. The 631 Native Infantry and 11th Irregulars were disarmed Ist August. CALCUTTA. The mutineers in llmor Bengal have again caused great alarm in Calcutta. The Governor- General's body-guard has been disarmed. Appre hensions aro entertained of a rising at the Mohur rurn Festival, but careful precautionary measures have been adopted. Lord Rgin has arrived in Calcutta, and the Hon. J. P. Grant has been appointed Lieut.- Governor of Allthahad, and Sir James Outran:l to the command of the troops in the Patna and Cawnpore districts. ?UNJAU3. The 2Gth Regiment, which mutiuied at Meeat Meer, has been almost entirely destroyed. _ . All remains quiet in . the PunjAub and Slitlej States up to August 14. _ General Cort!and has possession of Sandi an Hissar. H. H. Mabaraith Goolab Singh died on tim 2d of August. In Ajp.)utara States, Nusseiabad, it hal been R SURREY THEATBff. An adaptation from the French drama of " Catherine Howard" was produced at this theatre last evening under the title of " Ambition ; or, the Throne and - tlie Tomb." The drama is one of painful interest, the most. effective portion being the last two acts, when the ven geance of the wronged husband, Ethelwood, is attaining its terrible climax. The two principal parts were ade quately sustained by Miss Eburne and Mr, Creswick, the latter of whom played with great power, and elicited lavish applauFe. King Henry was well personated by Mr. Potter. These performers received the hononr o a call on the falling of the curtain. The mise en scene 01 the piece is excellent, and the lovers , of the deeply tragic will derive much enjoyment from witnessing this nes production. CITY OF LO _VDON THEATRE. This flourishing establishment, on Monday last, com menced its winter season, under the able direction of Messrs. Johnson and Nelson Lee ; the pieces selected for the occasion were a domestic drama, entitled "Ruth Malvern," concluding with John Wilkins's powerful drama of "The Huguenots." In addition to the regu lar company, Mr. Edmiston Shirria, from the provinces made his first appearance before a London audience, and we never recollect a debut more successful. This gen tleman will become a great favourite, as will also Mr. Weston, who is engaged for walking gentlemen. Mi'e L;zzy Johnson, from Manchester, made a great impres sion; her singing is most charming. We must not omit, to notice the acting of Mr. Beaumont Hughes who has become a great favourite with the City audience. With their present company, and good pieces like the present, this management may defy com• petition. No stars are required at this house. The theatre was crowded to the very roof. Mr. Nelson Lee was called for, and addressed the audience in a neat speech, telling them what he had in store. This gentl, man, we believe, writes the pantomimes for nearly every theatre in London. CREMORNE GAR D EN& Notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weathi r and lateness of the season, a considerable number of re spectable persons responded to Mr. Simpson's appeal last night in aid of the national fund now being raised for the relief of our suffering brethren in India. At the lowest calculation there could not have been less present than ten or twelve thousand individuals, and the scene was one of great enthusiasm. The excellent juvenile band of the Duke of York's School attended, by permission of the commandant, and their martial appearance, not less than their effective performance, created considerable interest. The various places of amusement were exceed ingly well supported, and if any prefertince were notice able, it was in the Cirque, where the performances of the Zuigliani family and of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Adams seemed recognised in a marked manner. The latter talented artistes, who throughout the season have given such satisfaction, left Cremorne two or three weeks since, but returned purposely to aid the noble cause of the evening. Indeed the readiness with which the whole of the performers attached to this popular place of amuse ment tendered their gratuitous services for the occasion deserve especial commendation. The general arranLe rnenta were admirable, quite in keeping with those which have always characterised the management of Mr. Simp son. Everything was orderly and well conducted, and not the shadow of ground was afforded for complaint at the manner in which the mass of visitors retired from the gardens and repaired to their respective homes an hour or two after midnight. The pyrotechnic display, on at, unequalled scan of splendour and brilliancy, gave gene ral satisfaction, and the last artistic effort of the pyro technist, exhibiting in vivid colours the words, " Success to our Cause," was the signal for an outburst of enthu siastic applause, which plainly told how the spectators sympathised with the sufferings endured by the European residents of our Indian empire, where the recent acts of barbarity have been perpetrated. Mr. Simpson has done himself much credit by devoting the entire proceeds of this most successful fete to the fund now so promptly and generously created by the nation ; and there can be little doubt that, through his exertions, a very large additional sum will be placed at the disposal of the com mittee. DEBUT OF MR. CHARLES MATHEWS AT THE BROAD• WAY THEATRE.—CharIes Mathews, the eminent English comedian, whose name and reputation have a world--wide extent, made his first appearance after many years' ab sence on the boards of the Broadway on Monday night. Time has not very sensihly affected Mr. Mathews' powers. He is still the same light, easy, airy gentleman he used to b 3 when, in company with Veetrie, hie late wife, he played in the old Park Theatre. His utterance, how ever, seems slightly impaired, probably by the loss of his teeth. In his admirable 'trop e s he was very iedisticct, and many of the best points were en tirely lost on the audience. A. 'peculiar charac teristic in Mr. Mathews' acting is the constancy with which he keeps the attention of the audience fixed on himself. Not a motion, not a gesture does he use' that has not a point in it, and this is true under circum stances when his position in the piece is subordinate as. well as when it fills a prominent place. Mr. Mathews' talents were exhibited to great advantage on Monday night in his own farce, "Patter versus Clatter," in which he drew down the plaudits and evoked the mirth of as large a house as ever the Broadway could boast of. There was not a spot unoccupied from the parquette to the gallery. There was one serious drawback to the enjoyment of the evening, and that was the bad ventila tion of the theatre. The temperature was about equal to that of the boiler-room of a steamship, and the odours were hardly describable in language. Mopus, in the comedy of " Married for Money," it strikes us, is not Mr. Mathews' best character. In fan , there is only one scene in the piece in which his talents have play ; and if it were not that he was well supptrted the performance would have been rather tame. Mr, Mathews was called out after the comedy, and was very. warmly received. A speech was demanded ; but greatly to the disappointment of the audience, Mr. Conway, the stage manager, came out and wade a speech about him self and his great success in Europe, and his gratitude for the reception he met with from the audience—though he was not called out at all—all of which seemed rather incomprehensible to the auditory. At the close of the farce, however, Mr. Mathews responded to the call, and begged to be excused from making a speech ; briefly thanking the audience, at the same time, for the flatter ing reception he heel met with at their hands.—New York Herald, Sept 16. The Elector of Hesse, en the 24th, gave a private and sane to Count Karnicky, the new Austrian Minister at his court, and the count presented his credentials. THE MEDITERRANEAN TELEGRAPH. LIVERPOOL, Monday.—The steam-tug Blazer, of 150-base power, belonging to the Liverpool Steam Tug Company, Las been selected to assist in laying the telegraph cable be• tween Cagliari, Malta, and Corfu, and is at present re ceiving ou board, from the works of Messrs. Newell, Birkenhead, about 30 tons of the cable, with which she will sail next week. The Blazer is well adapted' for this work, having stowage room for coal for 12 days' steaming. HERTFORDSHIRE REGISTRATION.—The revision of the register ler this country was completed at St. Alban's on. Friday last before Mr. S. C. C. Fish. Mr. J. F. Bonterns appeared throughout the county as general agent for the Liberals, Mr. Henry Edwards for Sir Henry Meux, who is now a supporter of the Govern ment, and Mr. Passingham for the Conservatives. The following is the result of the whole revision Liberal clams allowed, 214 ; Conservatives struck off, 157 ; total, 371. Conservative claims allowed, 164 ; Liberate struck off,' 136 ; total, 300. Liberal gain, 71. Tele is exolnsive of 43 votes made by Sir H. Meux on his own estete, which are not counted on either side. THE LONDON AND EASTERN BANKING CORPORATION —Yesterday at Ipswich Vice-Chaecellor Sir W. Page Wood heard the arguments in support of the petition of Masers. Stuart and Duplex, shareholders in this unfortu nate concern, praying that an order absolute might be granted for winding up in Chancery. Before the hearieg his Honour expressed a strong opinion on the inexpedi ency of making-such motioes in vacation, on the ground of expense and issconvenience to the pareiee interested. The facts of the petitioners' eas3 were then discussed at great length, and at the conclusion his Honour, without calling on the other side for a reply, declined to make the winding-up 'order as prayed, observing that there did not appear to him to be a single ingredient in the case to warrant his so doing. The equities of the case seemed to him to have been settled among the great body of share holders without judicial intervention, and he did not think the petitioners had made out a claim to jug- Hy compliance with their prayer. The petition was therefore dismissed. It represented only 200 shares. THREATENED ENOROAOHMENTs ON BLACKHEATH.— ' The Greenwich District Board of Werke and vestry have resolved upon opposing what is justly considered an ectroachment upon the rights of the public, and which threatens the preservation of Blaokheath as an open space for their recreation. Almost in the centre of the heath the foundation of a church has already been corn menced, and which it is considered, if allowed to be erected, will prove the forerunner of a neighbourhood springing up, by residences being built on surrounding open spaces. The District Board of Works of Greenwich, on the motion of Mr. Richardson, one of its members, is seeking the co-operation of the authr rities of the district of Plumatead, with the view of memorialising the Metro politan Boa d of Works to prevent tho erection of the church being proceeded with. There is another part of the heath even more objectionable still, end which it is now being attempted to obtai-u a purchaser for a very short lease in order to secure the erection of rest .fences, and which is known to visitors as the Point. From no part of the heath are more magnificent vievri• of the surrounding metropolis to be obtained, but as this land (consisting of about three acre-) exerts to the Crown at the end of about 40 year, and a- protest has been entered against buedings being erected thereon by the authorities, it is very questiu" & " le, Per' haps, whether a purchaser of the p repeut lessor's right will be obtained. At the present time, when attention is directed to the necessity of providing -public parks, and securing pure air to the inhab itants of this densely p '° i es ui i a lse ready iiat existing. S ome was made to the crowdee metropolis, it certainly behoves the authorities )tpeasrescsuirnecelnatnacattttheme or of n a Pa erect certain residences in Greenwich -park, but which was frustrated by the opposition of the inhabitante, and it bcoomes them now equally to be on the alert, to pre vent their heath being taken from them piecemeal. TBE IMPERIAL MEETING AT - STUT7GARD. The Constitutionnel at length pronounces its opinion on the interview at Stuttgard, and comes to the conclusion already formed by the principal rgans of the European press and by the public, hat an essentially pacific spirit presides that inter view, and that the general interests of European tates will be consnited by the two sovereigns. We reproduce the views of the Constitutionnel with the remark that its reflections on the attitude of the German press aro out of date, for the announce ;nent of the approaching interview at Weimar has relieved any apprehension or destroyed any hopes that may have been entertained by certain Prussian ind Aditrian journals, and has led to a complete change in their views and language " The solemn meeting at Stuttgard attracts at the prevent moment the attention of Europe, and creates in certain points of Germany au emotion which appears somewhat of an exaggerated cha racter. This emotion may nevertheless be readily conceived. The meeting of the two. Emperors could not fail to awaken instinctively certain recol lectons which half a century has not effaced from the memory of nations. Certain analogies, rather apparent than real, the resemblance of names and places, have enhanced the i'lusion which a gloomy policy has been pleased.to foment. A portion of the press of Germany has in the fait few days undertaken to revive past reminiscences, to lend a certain fallacious character to the Stuttgard inter view, and to prepare resistance to its results. It has been asked whether Stuttgard is not to be con sidered as another Erfurt, and where another Alexander and another Napoleon are not about to shake hands over the head of Germany. It would be waste of time to reply to the , ,etfear3, or to prove how great is the difference between the times, the circumstances, and the personal character o f the the two Emperors. Napoleon 111. and Alexander 11. have, itis known, inaugurated their reign by a common idea—peace 1 Their ambition is directed to pacific triumphs, to theprogress of their slit jects. In their ideas, the interests of nations rise , uperior to the satisfied pride of governments. The fatality of war which they were compelled to undergo tended to enhance their inborn moderation and wisdom. This should suffice, in our opinion, to calm these imaginations that have been too deeply excited ; for why, amidst so many interpretations that have been presented, should not the one be preferred which is so naturally indi cated by the past ? Serious and numerous diffi culties of a nature to compromise the peace of the world have arisen within late years. More than one of these difficulties has been happily an d glo riously surmounted by-means of a powerful s pirit of conciliation ; but si me are still in existence, and fresh ones have arisen. Several countries of Eu rope are in an unsatisfactory state, and are deli vered up to embarrassments which may attract the attention of the sovereigns. Events have, more over, taken place sufficiently serious t o a ppeal to their high solicitude. No one can anticipate the results of their secret conference ; but the policY which inspired the peace of Paris has, we imagine; effered sufficient guarantees to authorise unlimited security iu the future. Should the traditions of a policy inspired by suspicion and jealous suscepti bilities at 11 exist in the councils of Europe, it is to be' supposed that the spirit which has presided the Stut.gard interview will remain as a salutary €' 2 " . ample. The inspirations of that ancient policy waY be detected in the suspicious and uncharitable inter pretation given by certain journals to the meeting at Stut gard, at a time when past events testified with sufficient eloquence to the real signification of that interview." THE HEALTH OF OUR TROOPS IN INDIA. It may be gratifying to the many who are noW volunteering their services for India to learn that , with ordinary precaution, the heat of the climate can not only be endured, but its effects made ill' nocuous by a judicious mode of living. It is with a view of warding off some of the blows which are inflicted on the heedless that we offer s' few practical remarks, suggested by many years ' campaig‘ing and marching from Calcutta to Khy ber. Avoid the sun in the middle of the day se touch as you can in all seasons ; a difficult rule just now, but obey it whenever'you can. • Let your tur ben be ample, choose the larger sort, it folds grace fully round helmet or czacko, and should come well down over temples aud neck. Whenever you wear the forage-cap in the sun, place your handkerchie f inside. Drink as little water as possible at 5 11 times. When thirst overpowers you in the field, moisten your lips with a little diluted spirits from your canteen (all wear them, from the General to the trumpeter) ; repeating the same whenever most needful, you will remain fresher than those around you who gulp oft their _"little eto'e at a single draught, and afterwards suffer bitterly for it. It is the knowledge of having a reserve which keeps thirst away more effectively than. anything else. Cold tea, without milk, and perhaps a small addi tion of spirits, is a fine thing to take on in the can teen. Drink spirits, but moderately, and diluted with water. Never touch raw spirits, or your liver will soon tell a tale. Beware of excess as you value your life. You may often recover, but not one drunkard as yet has escaped in the long run 1 If you have not sufficient control over yourself to be moderate, abstain altogether from spirits, although your health will probably not be so good, the enervating climate exacting a stimulant to assist in digestion and secretion. Eat plenty of curry and rice, every day of your life if you like, you cannot eat too much - of it. Avoid fruits and slope, especially in the hot sea son, but eat guavas whenever you can get the as they have excellent medicinal properties. Ave,' the common ghee and water bullock's-milk of tEI bazaars—your health will be all the better for the abstention. Take a cold bath as often as you can weathers, twice a day if you like. This is Ye u , r , best preventive against colds and rheumatism, e" prevalent in, trop:cal climates. Wear flannel on your chest and abdome n ' Flannel and curry are the two best soldiers' friend s in India. Look to good boots, wet feet have don e , more mischief than the sword. Spend your lasi rupee on a yard of English flannel, or a pair of English boot 4, of which you must certainly t 3 '`` . out two stout pair. Country boots will do in dry weather in quarter s ' but you cannot march in them without getting sore feet, and the leather admits the water like 3 sponge. Do not take out a single article of light c lotbillf e with you, but plenty of warm. You will find ou t, to your utter surprise, that in the coldest rooetb; you will shiver more from cold in the north-We s than you ever have done at home. a La , t, not least, be always cheerful in mind, se - , look forward with faith and trust. Nothing pull , down a man so quick in India as depressing P a sions, while singing and bustling about give buoyancy to the mind which acts most benefieis-N on the health.
