Other telegrams were last night received at the Foreign-office, at the East India House, and from the correspondents of some of our morning con temporaries. The public despatches; and some of the others, will be found in another part of our impression. They do not materially alter, al though they cast great additional light on, the intelligence contained in The Sun of yesterday. We know more now about the proceedings of General HAVELOCK and his truly gallant band. The telegram of yesterday only announced that he had " defeated the rebels at Abipur-al-Gunge, on the 29th and 30th of July, taking nearly all their guns," and that " he expected to reach Luck now on the 31st July." The natural interpre• tation of this obscure and confused statement was, that the conflict of the 29th and 30th July had taken place at Bithoor-al-Gunge, the strong hold of the miscreant NENA SAHIB, who was pursued up to Bithoor by HAVELOCK. It now appears that the cowardly assassin had not ventured to meet the victorious troops, even with all the advantages of an entrenched and for tified position. He had fled before them in dis may, and on the 17th July his Fort was occupied without even an attempt at resistance. The san guinary ruffians who embrued their hands in the blood of women and children would not dare to nrset in fair fight armed men, although less than one-fifth of their number, who were trebly armed in the justice of their quarrel. Of course, the fortress was completely destroyed, and no less than la g MI% were captured, an important addition to ( T r art i ll ery, and a still greater loss to t h e re b e l s. u thst occasion NBNA SAHIB escaped. But his jufzum '" career was rapidly drawing to a close. Ho could not Possibly hope to escape the avengers of Mood —the ministers of a siern justice that were tracking his footstep; and determined to inflict exemplary justice o n the most guilty of all Who raised their felon bands against those whom they were bouud to protect by every tie of honour minly fee li ng . It is sail that after hi s flight from Bithoor, l i e destroyed his entire f ain tl y and then committei suicide. This is by n , means justly be regarded as a improbable, and it w'oull nisaf.l act of retribution that would strike terror ilfGe the whole body of the rebclg. It was nearly a fortnight after the capture and destruction of Bithoor that tl:c battles of the 29th and 30th July were fought. Colonel NEILL had Joined FrAvenocie on the 221 July, and it was at 13,1 P•1r El Gunge, about 18 miles from Cawnpore, ou ibe road to Lecknow, that they encountered tb.e mutineers more than 10,000 strong, whom they completely defeated and put to flight, taking 15 guns. This would make no less thin 28 cannon captured from the enemy, a most important achievement under the circumstances of the case. It would seem also that another battle had - taken place the following day, in which Hay.s.Loox had TILI 611:fiN5f 1 o i N DON again triumphed over his opponents..' It is more than probable that these victories were gained over the besiegers of Lucknow—perhaps assisted by some of the fugitive troops of NENA SAHIB. If this conjecture be well-founded, but little re mained to be accomplished for the complete re lief of Lucknow, and the rescue of its gallant gar rison and the fugitives who had there sought shelter and protection in the dark hour of danger and distress. Colonel NEILL had remained at Cawnpere while General HAVELOCK was marching on Lucknow. This adds additional confirmation to the belief that the work had been virtually completed, or he would not have left such valuable auxiliaries behind him. There is one ambiguous• passage relating to Comnpore. The telegraph received at the War- Office contains the following passage :—" C&wn pore butchery confirmed. No authentic details." This probably refers to what had already been known in this country respecting the execrable breach of faith of the Mabrattan fiend. After the time, when it had been re-occupied by HAVE LOCK, there would have been no opportunity for the rebels to have massacred the English, nor, we regret to say, more victims to be destroyed. All that fell into his hands had been involved in one common destruction. There were very conlicting rumours respecting Agra. In the account that reached the Foreign Office on Sunday evening it was stated that "at Ara the Europeans remain in the Fort, well able to hold out, but anxiously awaiting relief !" In that received last night the announcement was —" Agra—Nothing important since battle of sth July." But another telegram, from Mar seilles, says—"lt was reported that Agra had fallen into the hands of the rebels." This would indeed be a terrible catastrophe. As we have already stated, there were more than 5,000 fugi tives, many of them women and children, exclusive of the garrison, and their de struction would have been a fearful blow. We shall, however, have the mail itself to-morrow, and shall then be enabled to examine more closely the evidence on each side. From Delhi we have fuller tidings. We learn that there had been sorties on the 14th, 18th, and 23d, which had been repulsed with great loss to the rebels ; unfortunately there had been 500 killed and wounded on our side, amongst whom was Brigadier-General CHAMBERLAIN, severely wounded on the 14 ,11, but doing well. Matters were, however, rapidly approaching to a crisis at the head-quarters of the insurrection. On one side the troops under VAN CORTLANDT were approaching, from another those under NICHOL so; while HAVELOCK'S were to move onward,. after the relief of Lucknow had been accomplished. These will be truly valuable reinforcements, suffi cient to warrant a general assault. Sir CoLIN CAMPBELL, too, will probably be there ready to participate in the toil and glory of the achieve ment. We referred yesterday to most of the remaining intelligence. We do not regard the mutiny at Kola pore of the 27th Bombay Infantry, as indicating a general disaffection amongst those who have hitherto remained faithful to their salt. It must be remembered that it was in the Southern Mahrattan country that it took place, and we believe that there were many Mahrattan Mussul mans in the ranks, who regarded the miscreant NENA SARI;, !as their legitimate chief. The great bulk of the Bombay army are, however, low caste Hindoos, and there has as yet been no reason to doubt their fidelity. Madras bad continued loyal and free from disturbance, and the reinforcements arrived at Bombay, will terrify the conspirators and prevent tho expluaitna of any plot that may have been entered into. If Agra be only safe, we shall continue perfectly satisfied with the news—which, taking all things into consideration, is as good as could reasonably have been anticipated. Sugar, Mr. SPEAKER—IS said to have been the commencement of one of PITT'S most famous orations in the House of Commons. Cotton, Mr. BULL—may be described as the exordium of the latest and one of the most remarkable of the Rev. Dr. LIVINGSTON'S many admirable discourses in reference to the evangelisation of Africa ; and the extension to the population of that vast continent of the double blessings of Civilization and Chris tianity. The date of this really notable discourse was Wednesday, the 9th instant—the rostrum fer its delivery was the platform of the Town Hall, at Manchester—the occasion for it, was the public reception there and then given to that distin guished Traveller by the representatives of three very important mercantile bodies, viz., the mem bers of the Chamber of Commerce, of the Commer cial Association, and of the Cotton Supply Asso ciation. The sympathy expressed by the men of Lancashire in the elevating and harmonizing de signs of a practical philanthropist like Dr. LIVING STON, cannot for one instant be regarded by any rationally reflective observer as the mere compli mentary utterance of an empty and frivolous demonstration. It constitutes, we doubt not, in his own view, perhaps of all the most substantial encouragement he has yet received since the period of his return home, to find an universal welcome accorded to him upon the hearths and in the hearts of his fellow-countrymen. An encou ragement even more exhilirating and inspiriting in its way than that directly afforded by her MAJESTY'S Government. For the frank and cor dial extension of that right-hand of industrial England proves incontestibly to Dr. LIVINGSTON that he has already insured to himself the co operation of the mercantile world of this country in all his future enterprizes. And that aid in particular is to him, and to such as him, one of the very first, or, as the phrase absurdly is, of the very last importance. Dr. LIVINGSTON himself distinctly avowed as much on Wednesday, when replying to the congratuldory Address of the President of the Chamber of Commerce and Ma nufactures. He declared that he was so fully convinced of the elevating tendency of lawful coin mere; that he proposed (of course in reference t Africa) to devote the next few years of his life to special efforts in that direction ! Meaning that, upon his return to the scenes of his former perilous adventures, he would strive assiduously to forward in every possible way the development of commercial relations bi tween the British Isles and the African continent. As a missionary he sees that with lawful commerea the believer in Christianity may the most readily diffuse among the people of those arid and hither t ) scarcely accessible regions, the betide influences at once of religio n an d civilisation, Ho is, there fore, eager to return to the land of his former labour s , t o the pathway trodden in his earlier pilgrimage -1, 0 . ariug s collop shell ? earr i ng the bade© o f trade as hi upon no broken reed, bu' upon the good and stalwart staff of commerce. Naturally enough the 'cute men of Lancashire are thereupon all curiosity t) kn ow the precise nature of the " terms " before them —.terms according to which the y have reall y at this mo. rnent a most encoura ging prospect of filling th e i r pockets at the very time that they are gratifying (heir benevolence. They want forthwith to know U 1 E 13 A Y EVENIN all about want to v . - dritaul the samples, to Noigh tht am iri to balance, to test theid l liy all the lrapid and refined tests of their mercantile e.xperit , nce. Dr. I'.4ITINGSTON is, therefore, at once, good humour edly but searchingly catechised. Mr. CEIEETH Of, M.P., stands before him on the plat form lik e an embodied note of interrogation. The travelled. missionary is called upon to evidence before ral attentive audience of merchants and manufacturers, powers of memory in some respects more extraordinary than those formerly displayed by G.IiIORGE BIDDER, or those now-a-days exhibited by poor purblind JA.CQITES WINCICLER, the Swiss* calculator. Dr. LIVINGSTON has recollections, however, to fall back upon vouchsafed to not one other man among all the millions of his contem poraries. He can laugh to scorn every system of Mnemonics, however ingenious. He can snap his fingers in the face of Major BENIOWSRI and his competitors. He has witnessed sights with his own eyes that to behold once is to remember ever afterwards. Recalling some of the more curious among his many strange remembrances, he begins his recital. It is the country traversed by the great Zambesi River that he is describing—the fruitful African regions traversed by that Silent Highway and irrigated on either hand by the waters of its numerous tributaries. He talks of pasturage there, the grass of which flourishes to such an astounding height that when he rode through it, seated upon the back of an ox, he had to hold his hands above his head to keep it out of his eyes ! He tells of wheat grow ing there the ears of which extended from his waist to the tips of his fingers ! The soil where these Brobdignagian blades of grass and corn abound, he describes as fertile almost beyond the limits of credulity. All it requires, he declares to be simply this—that a slave woman with a little hoe should make a little hole in the ground, drop a few seeds in and push back the soil with her foot. As a consequence of which, he says, there is a crop of wheat four months afterwards ready for the sickle ! This simple operation of the hoe and the toe of the slave woman answering all the purposes of subsoiling, ploughing, draining, lim ing, and manuring ! It is for all the world the realization of the land of plenty once wittily de scribed by DOUGLAS JERROLD as a region so rich and so sympathetic to the toil of the husbandman that you had only to tickle it with a hoe and it laughed into harvests ! So it really is with Africa all along the verdurous course enriched by the fattening current of the Zambesi. There—Dr. LIVINGSTON tells us, not upon hearsay but from his own personal knowledge—abound twenty or thirty different kinds of fruits altogether strange to the palates of European epicures ; fibrous pro ducts finer and stronger than flax ; elephant-ceme teries of ivory 1 countless apiaries full of beeswax! iron ore, copper ore, even malachite ! Mr. CHEETHAM asks him a pertinent question very much like the humourously impertinent one CHARLES LAMB put to a correspondent of his, to whom he was writing all the way to the then re gion of the penal settlements in Australia—" Da you grow your own hemp ?" Well, replies Dr. LIVINGSTON to his Querist—lf the Africans don't grow hemp they grow a number of fibrous plants, and among them buaze, the fibre of which is worth from 501. to 601. a ton. Above all says the great African Traveller they grow cotton— And from cotton Commerce ! And from Commerce—Civilisation and Christianity. A magnificent prospect opens before our ima gination at those suggestive words—a pros pect g loriouo for Africa, for Eugland, for the whole Eastern Hemisphere. In talking thus we are not simply dreaming dreams, we are talking of what is actually practicable, of what we believe to be at this moment to be within reach of our grasp, within the limits of realization. May the project be indeed and very speedily realized ! Then will the noble:4 earthly recompense have fallen to the lot of an earnest and true philan thropist. ROYAL VISIT TO WENTWORTH-HOUSE —The Sheffield Independent of Saturday hat states authoritatively that the Queen and the Prince Consort will honour the Earl of Fitzwilliam with a visit at Wentworth-house, near Rotherham, on their return from Scotland, on Thurs day, the 15th of October next.

CLOSE OF THE NATIONAL GALLERY.—On Friday the National Gallery, Trafalgar•-square, and the Vorn'n and Turner Collection of Paintings at Marlborough House, Pall-Mall, were closed to the public until Monday, the 2Gtir of Oct., when they will be re-opened. ANECDOTE OF THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPTL—I think the most curious fact, taken altogether, that I ever heard of the eleutrio telegraph was told me by a cashier of the B ink of England. " Once ripen a time, then, on a cer tain Saturday night, the folks at the Bank could nut make the balance came right by just 1001. This is a seri ous matter in that little establishment : I do not mean the cash, but the mistake in arithmetic; for it Pensions a world of scrutiny. An error in balancing has been known, I am told, to keep a delegation of clerks from each office at work semetimes through the whole night. A hue and cry was of course made after this 1001., as if the ()id lady in Threadneedle-street would be in the 9azette for want of it. Luckily on the Sunday morning a clerk (i❑ the tnidula of the sermon, I dare say, if the truth were known) felt a suspicion of the truth dart through his mind quicker than any flash of the telegraph its(ll. He told the c:rief cashier ou Monday morning that perhaps the mistake might have occurred in pack ins some boxes of specie for the West Indies, which ha•l been rent to Southampton for shipment. The sug gestion was immediately acted upon. Here was a race —lightning against steam ! and steam with 43 hours' steel given. Instantly the wires asked whether such a vessel had left the harbour ?" Just weighing anchor,' was the answer. 'Stop her,' frantically shouted the elec tric telegrapb. It was done. Have up on deck eel - tain boxes marled so and so ; weigh thorn careful!y.' They were weighed ; and one—the delicquent found heavier by just one packet of a hundred soy reigns than it ought t) be. 'Let her go,' said the mystezi. u telegraph. The West India folks were debited with ju_t 100/. more, and the error was corrected without ever looking into the boxes or delaying the voyage by en hour. Now that is what may be call I 'doing business.' _Letters of R, E. H. Gruson. SUICIDE Paoli WATEBI.OO MuDGE.---Yestesday morn ing, about four o'clock, a man dressed like a mechanic precipitated himself into the Thames. At low water the body was found, and taken to Lambeth 'Workhouse to be owned, and for an inquest. The Stock Exchange Committee have appointed Tues day, the 22d, as se!tling day for the National Guaran teed Manure Company, but the shares are not to be marked in the official list. The several shares of the Eastern Counties Railway are henceforth to be quoted as stock. COLLISION OFF GRAVESEND.—The Lord Mayor yes terday received a communication from Mr. C. NV. James, the principal harbour-master, stating that at four o'el :ck that morning the screw steamer Fyenoord, of Rotter dam, and the tug Sampson, belonging to the Shipowners' Company, had come into collision in Gravesend Reach, and that the latter vessel was sunk outside the coal-hulk Magnet. M. Jullien (says the Musical World) has left London to repose from his labours, and renovate himself for the winter season at her Majesty's Theatre. Always active, ho Never, oven in the holidayg, he will visit Vienna, to conclude an engagement with the popular Jetty Treffz, whose immortal " Trab, trab" is.once more to fascinate a London audience. . _ SOUTH KENSINGTON MUSEUM.—During the week ending Sept. 12, 1857, the visitors have been as fo'lows: —On Monday, Tuesday, and Saturday, free days, 2,997 ; on 'Monday and Tuesday, free evenings, 5,863. On the three students' days (admission to the public, 6d.), 367 ' • one stedents' evening, Wednesday, 102. Total, 9,329. Intelligence from Cbina, vin Kjachta, give a deplore- Ile picture of the condition of Pekin and the southern provinces of the empire. Commerce has almost ceased, and the wretchedness of the people is augmenting daily. The Goverrnioent has issued iron money to pay the em ployee, and to purchase corn, whilst it requires the taxes to be paid in silver. THE CHINESE IN AIISTRALIA.--The numb& of Chin a men in the district of Ballarat East, according to the la,t census, is 10,000, of whom six are married to women of European descent. It may not be unihterest ing to k now that the majority of the ladies claim Scot land as their birth-place.--Australian and New Zealand Gazette.. THE PRESS OF AIISTRALIA.—The total number of newspapers now issued in the Australian colonies amounts to 81. Victoria has six daily and 38 weekly and 'bi-weekly ; New South Wales two daily and 18 weekly and hi-weekly ; Tasmania five daily and three weekly and tri-weekly ; and in %V tern Australia there ara four weekly journals.—Australian and New Zealand Gazette. The Journal de Constantinople states that the Porte has granted a concession to Messrs. Price, Larkins, and Joyce for a _railway from Sameoun to Sivas, a distance of 250 miles, through a very fertile country. The capital is to be 4,000,00001., with a 7 per cent. guarantee from the Turkish Government. It is intended to construct the line in three portions, the second of which will ter inmate at the copper mines of Tokat. According to a circular of Arles Dufour, of Lyons, the French silk market continues heavy, owing to the natural tendency to reaction from the late exaggerated rise, and the general decreate in consumption. The period, however, is approaching for the receipt of the Ame ican orders for the spring trade, as well as those of the European manufacturers, and as the latter are be lieved to have completely exhausted their stocks a partial revival is anticipated. The Star of Peace has arrived from Australia with 91,522 sovereigns, and the Sardinian with 4,965 ounces of gold, valued at 19,860/. The George Marshall is also reported, but the gold by her is stated to amount to only 2.1301. The Atrato frms the West Indies has brought 174 0001., of which 90,000/. is gold. The Tagns from the Peninsula has 3,1201., and the Arabia from New Yo k 11,0001., making an aggregate receipt yesterday of 301,6321. ADDRESS TO THE WIDOW OF THE LATE BISHOP OF LoNDoN.—Yesterday the family of the late Bishop of London took their departure from the episcopal palace at Fulham. Prior to leaving, an address, signed by all the inhabitants, was presented to Mrs. Blomfield, ex pressing " their grateful and respectful regard to Mrs. Blomfi•ld on the intended removal of herself and her family from the palace, which they have now occupied for nearly 20 years." DEATH OF AN ATTEAPTED MURDERER.—On Saturday Mr. Bedford held an inquest at Milibank Prison, on the body of George Dickinson, aged 56, a convict therein. It appeared that deceased, who was formerly an afflaent tradesman in Leeds, was received into the above prison on the 7th May last, under sentence of transportation for 20 years, for havirg attempted to murder his wife. He died on Monday n'ght last, the cause of death being cancer in the stomach. Verdict—Natural Death, In the general business of the Port of London during the prat week there has been moderate activity. The number of ships reported inward was 206, being 54 less than in the previous week. These included 26 with cargoes of grain, rice, &c., 6 with cargoes of coffee, 11 with cargoes of eager, 3 with cargoes of fruit, and one from Snanghai with 7,120 packages of tea and 995 bales of silk. Tie total number of vessels cleared outward wal 120, including 12 in ballast, showing an increase of four. The Inverness Courier says :—" His Grace the Duke of Leedc, after enjoying the sport of deer-stalking last week in the Colen Forest, paid a visit to Shieldaig of ApplecrosA, a part of his estate. lie was waited upon by a deputation of the Free Church party, supplicating his Grace for a site fur a - free church and manse. His Grace at once offered them a free gift of the same. During his visit he also pointed out to his factor a house belonging to hie Grace which he wished to be immedi ately repaired and converted into a school for the use of the village children." THEFTS UNDER TIN GALLOWS.—There were four cases of robbery from the person at the execution of Captain Rogers, at Kirkdale, on Saturday. In one case Edward Smith was charged before the Liverpool magistrates with steiliag the silver watch of Alexander Martin, bat as there vas no conclusive evidence, the prisoner was diech4rged. There were three charges against a lad named Smith, upon all o f w hi c h ho 'was committed for trial. He stile a watch from George Taylor, an old man ; another from John Connor, a sailer ; and picked the pocket of Miss Adelina. Clark of 6s. 6d. and a handkerchief. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENIAT BATTERSEA BRlDGE.—Yes terday morning a shocking accident occurred to Win. Smith, a labourer employed in the repairs of Battersea Bridge. The unfortunate man was working at a lever, when some of the tackle connected with the machinery erected on the bridge gave way, by which he war pr. - cipitated into the well beneath. When extricated from his situation it was discovered that both his legs were fractured severely, and ho had also received severe contusions on the head. He was conveyed to St. George'e Hospital. THE FLOATING ISLAND ON DERWENTWATER.—This remarkable phenomenon was seen for the first time this year on Tnursday week, and ie much larger in appear ance than has been seen for several years back, its length being about 30 yards by 10 broad ; and it is somewhat remarkable that it should invariably appear in Septem ber, as we find in 1849_ it appeared on th e 13 t h , i n 1850 on the 22d, in 18 4 on the 27th, and in 1854 on the 13th, brit on ail these occasions it was only visible for a few (lays, being submerged in consequence of heavy rains, but if fine weather continua it may probably re main visible for a longer period.—Kendal Mercury. THE LICENSED PORTERS AT DOVER.---At a meeting of the Dover Local Board of Health, on Thursday, the master of the porters, named Griggs, and a porter named Baker, were suspended—,the former for three months and the latter for one month. Yoe offence of Griggs was that he had omitted to ea t er i n th e report book a complaint against Baker, who had insolently refused to carry a passenger's luggage to Waterloo. crescent. Th e mayor observed that, in the course of the investigation, a sad want of discipline and order had been found to pervade the body of licensed porters, and that the board, if they acted upon his suggestion, would promptly set itself t ) the task of remedying the. same. A MAGISTRATE FINED FOR SHOOTING WITHOUT A GAME CERTIFICATE.—At the Aylesbury Petty Sessions on Saturday last (before Capt. Hamilton and a full bench of magistrates), Mr. J . . T. Senior, one o f th e mag i strat , s of the county, residing at Broughton Hail, near Ayles bury, was charged with shooting without a game certi ficate, whereby he had rendered himself liable to a penalty of 51. It was proved that the defendant eves seen to fire at a covey of four partridges, and that ho wounded one of the birds. The defendant's solicit.T admitted the fact that Dlr. Senior had no game certifi cete, but said it was entirely an accidental omission on his part. The fact was, that he bad made application fer the certificate to the old assessor instead of th e new one, 'and that was the reason he was not iu possession of out. He submitted that, as there had been no intention to defraud, a very moderate fine would be suffleient. Captain Hamilton ordered the defendant to pay a fine of 51., including costs. PAINFUL CATA.STROPHE.—The tidings reached Edin burgh on Sunday of a very afflicting casualty having taken place at Dunbar the prievous afternoon, whereby Mr. William Wilson, of London, and three of his family lo,t their lives. The family had recently come from Loudon to enjoy a few weeks' sea-bathing, and severel t.f them were on the beach on Saturday afternoon. Two of the youngest, it is sa'd, went in to bathe, when the rough sea becoming too much fer them they were iti danger of being drowned, when the father and eldest brother rushed in after them ; but all of thorn perished ' in the PiaPCF. The distracted mother, too, it is added, endeavoured to fo low them, into the water to give her vain assistance, but was only saved by being forcibly drawn back again. The eldest daughter Helen was 16 years old, the younger Alice 14, arid the son James 18. The father's body bad not been recovered on Saturday evening. YOUNG LADY ATTACIKED BY A BEAll.—Such of our readers as have joined in any of the summer excursions to the Flat Helms, will have doubtless had their notice attracted by a bear of Some size, which is kept tethered by the owner of the Oa Monday last a young lady of Clifton, was on the Helms, walking in c)mpany witt a gentleman, when she unfortunately approached too close to the brute, whose tether v. as of consideravle I , .ngth, and was attacked by him with great ferocity.

PARIS, MONDAY EVENINO An order arrived this afternoon for the making of grand preparations at the Tuileries for the re ception of a personage of the highest rank (the Emperor of Ituasia). The Imperial Griard, which was not under orders to return from Chalons until the Pith of next month, will commence its march from that place en the 25th inst., and will arrive at Paris on the 28th. It is whispered that the German potentates have forbidden any of their subjects to accept the medal of St. Helena. It is said tint the institution of the Waterloo medal in England has suggested to the Emperor Napoleon the idea of striking medals commemora tive of the battles of Marengo, Austerlitz, Jena, and Wagratn, and of conferring them on the survi vors of the old army who were present at those battles.

It observes that it was from Central Asia to the noith of British India—from the midst of its immense populations that in ancient times came all the people who invaded Europe ; thak the warlike spirit of those nations is not extinguished, and the creation of powerful states has alone restrained them in modern times. Now these people are acquainted with the riches of the English possessions in India, and it is to be feared that, as soon as the news of the insurrection shall have reached them, they will put themselves in movement, and thus create fresh difficulties for the possessors of the country. According to the Abeille, Persia, in spite of her desire to remain faithful to the English alliance, cannot restrain those armed multitudes ; beside , , adds this journal, the Government of the Shah of Persia will not hear of the march of those nations on India until they will be already in movement.—lt is unnecessary to say that nothing whatever exists to justify these previsions. The Augsburg Gu::ette learns from Batavia that a revolutionary spirit begins to manifest itself in the Dutch possessions in the East Indies. An expedi sion is about to be feut by the Dutch Government against the Radsehas of Lidak and Takaip, who reside in the island of Tumor (ono of the Moluccas). Tha correspondent observes that the insurrectionary spirit seems to prevail in Eastern Asia fi om the 50th degree north latitude, to the 20th degree south latitude. It is necessary to state that the Germ'ln corespondents take an extremely unfav ourable view of the sate of affairs in India, and they rarely fail to state that the whole truth does not find its way into the papers published in India. A 'utter from Vienna of the 10th, in the Cologn' Gccette, stales that the ambassador of Fianc•3, Baron de Bourquew,y, had a conf(rence the pre ceding day with Count de Buol, and announced to him officially that an interviciw would take place at Stuttgardt in the second fortnight of this month between the Emperor Napoleon and the Emperor of Russia. The Bey of Tunis, ou the 10th inst., paid a com plimentary visit to the French squar.fron, which was on the point of taking its departure. SUDDEN DEATH IN A RAILWAY CARRIAGE.—Yester day evening an itqucst was held at the Elephant and Cast!e, St. Pancras-road before Mr. Bre nt, on the body of Mr. William Miller aged 40, late chief cl-nk at tLf Camden-town ,tation of the London and Great Northern Railway.

That well known nautical drama, the "Pilot," was revived last night with great splendour of scenery, de. coratiens, and appointments ; and although the present generation has so thoroughly lost the recollection of the American war that the ridicule of the Yankee arelY seems now to be somewhat of an impertinence, the piece proved to have intrinsic merits enough in its vfeY to render its restoration to the boards of the Adelphi highly popular step. Mr. T. P. Cooke appeared ones more in his original character, that darling of all the seafaring gods, Long Tom Coffin ; and he danced with scarcely impaired vigour his once famous horn-pipe, ao sang with unimpaired spirit, if with a somewhat weak ened voice, that well known bit of maritime philosophy about the " tiles and chimbly pots." One other song incident to the part he also sang, which, in our opinfoh it would have been better to omit, namely, that wherein Long Tom hints at a number of scarcely decent equiv°' quo a propos of his courtship. The heroine of the even . ing was Miss Mary Keeley, who looked charming enough as Kate Plowden, and displayed just that mil" tore of feeling and sauciness which is considered the proper attribute of "the lass who loves a sailor." Ire r song was enc , red, and her duet with Miss Arden S' the end of the first act was also loudly applauded. A.Y . Wright was hardly at home in the Yankee C a ptain' but he contrived to extract from the part a great deal of fun, which appeared to be very acceptable to the aaltiv ence. Mr. Selby looked and acted the character of the mysterious pilot with great effect; and when M r . Cooke on being called before the curtain announced the piec e for repetition till further notice, the intimation wag r e. ceived with unequivocal marks of approbation. SURREY. The dramatic season proper commenced yesterday a ,. the Surrey with "The Bird in the Hand," a play wit g i e " had had a great success in the previous season. l‘t r • Shepherd on this occasion sustained his original att . ranter with improved effect; but Mr. Creswick's 'pia° was filled by Mr. Basil Potter, who showed himself promising pupil in that particular school of acting. Ttt entirely new faces, Mr. and Miss Eburne, also reau' their appearance in the parts of the disinherited prodigy and his wife, and received so favouracle a reception as to lead to the belief that they will before long becoree estaulished favourites with the Surrey audience. NMi °l/ Chalmers, an importation from Dublin, played the prith' cipal female part in the play, and had a satisfactorY reception. The novelty of the evening was a burlesqa ° , on the " Traviata," written in the broadest style 0 ' transpontine exaggeration, and transferring the scene to Piccadilly and Cremorne. When we Pay that the coy' sumptive heroine was personated by Mr. Widdicota b t the reader will most probab!y guess the rest—treine ry dons Crinoline, excruciating paroxysms of coughil varied by an occasional sneeze—a new reading, al introduced with great effect—and the well known dank ing song, given in a style which Piccolomini might la vain attempt to equal. There was a good deal of laugh' ing at parts of the burlesque, but whether it was that the audience were not familiar with the original, or OA, their sensibilities were wounded by seeing it thus tur ns,° into ridicule, the piece hung fire on the whole, and ,a not likely to have a very long run. The Christy 1 ‘ 11 " ; strels performed twice during the evening, and wore) a 9 usual, 19udly and deservedly app'auded. I FALL OF A WALL AT CAMDEN TOWN.—Yeste rdg •a morning considerable excitement prevailed in the De l g l bourhood fa Camden Town, in consequence of the 01 of a wall belonging to the Regent's Canal CornpanYl well as to the goods sheds belonging to Messrs. Pickie r On Sunday night information was received of the crack, ing of the walls, and Mr. Thomas, the Regent's Ca e :, Company's ergineer, desired the towing-path s hould stopped up, which was immediately done. About tv i f o'clock yesterday morning away went the foundatio n ; the wall, pushing the towing-path out, when the sh e „ t fell with a tremendous crash. About 10 o clock snot portion of stone and iron work fell on to the path, W" ti three persons narrowly escaped being killed. Work tne wa lle were yesterday busily engaged in shoring up the ~, and the traffic of the canal for a few hours was s" pended.
