Another telegram has come to hand, which was received at the Foreign Office (through the Admiralty), at 8.25 a.m. on this day. It states that " Lord EL*IN reached Calcutta on the Bth of August, in her Majesty's ship Shannon, accom panied by her Majesty's ship Pearl. These ves sels had 300 extra Marines and 300 soldiers on board. After the mutiny at Dinapore, a small force, consisting of 160 men of her Majesty's 10th Regiment, and about the same number of the 37th, was despatched to relieve some eight Europeans, besieged by the mutineers at Arrah. Thr, expedition was not successful, and our loss '' cry heavy. General LLOYD has been removed from his command, and General OUTRAN' invested with the command of the Dinapore and Cawnpore divi sior,s. The 63d Regiment of Native Infantry was disarmed at Behrampore, on the Ist of August. The 11th Irregular Cavalry and tho Governor- Gene7al's Body Guard hive also been disarmed." It will be borne in mind by our readers that Vee Pekin, which brought the intelligence, al ready inserted in The Sun, had arrived at Suez on the 4th inst tint, and that it contained the ia mlllY , y dates to the ,15Lh August. The mail frori Calcutta was however wanting, and that has kat arrived by the Bentinck. It does not how ever, add much to the information already received from the scene of action. We cannot conceive why Lord ELGIN should have returned from China to Calcutta, at which place he ar rived on the Bth of August, i n 11.M .5. Shanr.on, accotripanied by H. M.S. Pearl, bringing 300 or 400 exf Cik marine,and 300 soldiers. It would seem i Its if his mission ha d been fruitless, and that h e was refused a receptio n b y the Chinese Eooperer. It is strange that nc,thing should have been said ea this very interesting and important topic. The parties, however, entrusted with the duty of condensing information at Suez, exhibit a singular reticence, as they invariably pass over without ti..e slightest notice, matters on which public anxiety is greatly excited. We must, of course, wait for further intelligence before we can speak with any certainty on the subject. It certainly looks like a total failure of the mission, and we sly 11l be prepared for a confirmation of that impret. "sion. The 300 or 400 marines and the 300 soldiers will be a valuable reinforcement that must be acceptable under any circumstances. It may be, too, that Lord ELGIN, finding that nothing could achieved in China for the present, had come to SUN, LONDON, RS DA • - EV:ENING, SI: - PTEMBER 17, _ 1851 Calcutta to give the benefit of bis valuable expe rience to Lord CANNING. This would be another solution of the problem, which would reflect the highest credit on the noble earl, and entitle him to the thanks and gratitude of the entire com the King of PRUSSIA, and it may be that the Chevalier BUNSEN, for he was present as the King's Aide de Council, will become the EUSEBIUS of the Berlin Council, and describe again the " divine effulgence" with which the rays of Royalty dazzled the assembled Div . ines. Why munity. We have also that which was clearly' the foun dation of the rumour respecting Agra having fallen into hands of the rebels, which, considering the number of fugitives, between 5,000 and 6,000, who had there sought shelter and protec tion, would have been a calamity of the most fear ful character. It appears that eight Europeans were besieged at a small place called Arrab, in the vicinity of Dinapore. After the quelling of the mutiny in that place, when no less than 800 of the rebels were about down by eight com panies of H. M. 10th Foot, one hundred and sixty men of that regiment were dispatched to relieve the parties so painfully circumstanced. Along with them were an equal number of H. M. 37th Foot—probably two companies from each regiment. Unfortunately they failed In their object, and were defeated with "heavy loss." This is very deplorable ; but still it is nothing to what would have been the case, had Agra fallen into the hands of the rebels, with more thin 5,000 fugitives, chiefly women and children. should not Royalty, beaming on the delegates of modern Protestantism, seem as magnificent to those who bask in its favour as in the times of the founder of Constantinople ? All our readers may not have been aware that the King of PRUSSIA and some busy English Bap tists and Independents, with Sir CULLING EARD- LEY, of Exeter Hall notoriety, and Dr. STEANE, a Baptist Minister at Camberwell, at their head, have been for some time engaged in geVing up this Protestant Council at B3rlin. It is not easy to come at the motives of all the parties con- cerned. The two Englishmen just referred to have for some years been active in bringing all cases of Continental Popish persecutions for reading and teaching the Scriptures under the notice of the English public and Government, and it would of course be a great point gained if the name of the King of PRUSSIA could be used every where as the patron and protector of Protestants of every creed. He would have a natural right of remonstrance on behalf of every Protestant Church which he had welcomed to Berlin. Naples or Tuscany, for instance, could hardly deem it intermeddling if It is also stated that General LLOYD has been removed from his command, and that General OUTRAM has received the appointment for the Dinapore and Cawnpore districts. As a measure of precaution probably, the 63d N. I. had been disarmed at Berhampore, and also the Governor-General's body guard. This was a necessary precaution that ought to have been earlier taken. " Better late than never !" Another fearful massacre may have been averted by this measure. It will be borne in mind by our readers that it was at Berhampore, which is within 120 miles of Calcutta, and 9 miles of Moorshedabad, the Rajah of which has been ac cused of joining in the conspiracy, that the first symptoms of disaffection were manifested on what has turned out to be the important question of the " greased cartridges." There dees not, how ever, appear now to be much danger in these dis tricts. The gallant HAVELOCK has crushed the hopes of the rebels in these districts, and we trust that the speedy fall of Delhi will complete their discomfiture. he pleaded for Italians guilty of reading GOD'S word, when he had invited to Berlin all who con- sent to take the Bible as the rule of their faith. And if, on the one hand, the friends of the persecuted are glad to get the King into a posi tion which renders him their natural champion, the King himself, on the other hand, may have strong political reasons for wishing to assume that position. It is something to be at the head of Continental Protestantism, and the patron at the same time of American and English Protest antism, at least of the non-established half of the latter, for the Church of England takes no active part in the business. The Roman Catholics of late have been as arrogant in his dominions as in ours, and have been partially successful in their priestly rebellions against his Government, and he may naturally wish to iudemnify himself on the side of Protestantism. In most of the States of Germany there are some Protestants—a delegate was present even from now down-trodden Hungary ; and the King of Prussia well knows how convenient it is for a It is impossible to conclude our observations on the existing state of affairs in India, without once more referring to the question of the Red Sea Telegraph. From a letter which will be found in another column, it will be seen that the East India Company have applied to Mr. MARSELNIN to know upon what terms the Red Sea Company will be prepared to lay down the line of telegraph to Kurrachee. Much valuable time has, however, been wasted, and a golden opportunity forfeited. The Company could have obtained the Atlantic cable on board ships prepared to convey it at once to its destination, at a very nroderate cost. With a fair and reasonable guarantee, the money would at once have been forthcoming, and we might have had communi cations with Aden before the close of the present year. The ill-advised letter of Sir W. O'SnituaH lTEssy materially damaged the prospects of the undertaking, and the Board of Control, as usual, procrastinated. The sanction of the Government, the indispensable basis of operations, was thus wanting, and it is by no means surprising that even more stringent terms are now required. There can be no doubt respecting the practicability of the scheme, or of its vast, we might almost say vital importance. The Directors and pro moters are naturally disgusted at the vacillation and delays that have already taken place. They will not victimise themselves for the sake of the public, and if the telegraph be worth having, it is unquestionably worth paying for. The terms on which they will enter on the undertaking are con tained in Mr. C. L. PEEL'S letter, and we are certain that they will be considered fair and mode rate by every disinterested and unprejudiced per son. It is the "Circumlocution-office " that could alone procrastinate on such a matter, under the peculiar circumstances of the case. Another telegram has since been received at the Foreign-office. It is far more discouraging than what had previously come to hand. It announces the retreat of the gallant HATE LOCK on Cawnpore, in consequence of serious illness that had broken out amongst his troops. The extraordinary labours which they had sustained, their , indefatigable exertions required a little rest ; and disease had broken out in his camp that required him to place the invalids in a secure position. The cholera was telling fearfully on the exhausted heroes. Never had men more faithfully and suffi cient:y discharged their duty. And we may well make allowances for trials more than human beings could bear. This unfortunately leaves the gallant garrison at Lucknow still in jeopardy. We trust, however, that adequate means may be devised for their rescue, ere it be indeed " too late." It is by the Suez telegraph that the retreat of General HAVELOCK'S retreat has been announced. The telegram itself is as follows : ALEXANDRIA, SEFr. 12. General HAVELOCK had advanced 25 miles from Cawnpore, towards Lucknow, but, after defeating the mutineers [in] three engagements, with loss of 21 guns, ho was obliged to retrace his steps to Cawnpore, for the purpose of leaving his sick, considerably increased from cholera, and was waiting for reinforcements. _ _ At Agra the Krok contingent, and other rebels, had been entirely dispersed. A detachment of her Majesty's 10th and 3'T th Regim.ents 300 strong, had made a night attack upon the men of the Bth and 40th Infantry, who has mutinied at Dinapore, but was dispersed with a loss of 200 killed. The Irregular Cyrps at Segowlie had mutilated and killed their officers. A plot to murder the Europeans at Jeesore and Benares had been discovered at lilidnapore. Tire Shakawanti battalion was wavering, but had not been disarmed yet. Ma.rtial Law had been proclaimed in Behar. Great uneasiness was felt in Calcutta of an outbreak during the approaching Mohurrun, and the body guard had been disarmed, but allowed to retain their horses. Lord Elgin arrived on the Bth of August with 400 marines and a company of her Majesty's 59th Regiment, and another steamer had brought some of the troops from the Transit. The Bentinck met two steamers coming up the , River Th .e w_ith troops. lit timalaya left on the 11th for troops from the Mauritius. The report of General HAVELOCK'S retreat GOMOS by the Suez Telegrapb. The Calcutta Englishman, of Aug. 8, does not mention it. monarch to be regarded as the head of their creed by thousands of the subjects of a neigh bour. Nicholas taught him that lesson, if he had not learned it otherwise. It is by no means improbable, also, that he takes a real interest in the subject of Protestant Unity. He is known to pride himself almost as much as our HENRY VIII. and JAMES I. did on his theological know ledge and acuteness; and his intimate literary and theological friendship with BUNSEN must have fostered both his fondness for theology, and his disposition to take very charitable views of the "variations of Protestants." Whatever the motives of all parties, there they are ; some fourteen hundred actors in the business from all parts of Europe and from the United States, all busy in devising the best means to exhibit the substantial unity of Protestants. They have, indeed, a difficult task before them. It may be acknowledged that amongst the educated there is a far more general appreciation of Lord BACON'S remark, that " unity and uniformity be different things ;" and that were a Church of England flout to be created, it would ceittinly embrace all the Protestant sects of the kingdom, with full liberty for each sect to worship as it pleased. The leaders in the Church of Eng land, however, and in several sects of Protestants also, have such an interest, pecuniarily and eccle siastically, in retaining things as they are, and the majority of their followers are kept so narrow minded by the teaching they listen to, that, if we take this country as au illustration of what may be hoped for, we fear the day of the death of Pro testant sectarianism, and of the full age of Catho lie religious liberty is yet far distant. At Berlin itself, the King finds one-half his theologians, of the old Lutheran School especially, who are the Puseyites of Lutheranism, very bitter against the meetings which are now being held. Hero the Archbishop of CANTERBURY invited, indeed, the delegates, after they had visited Prussia to make arrangements for the present meeting, to meet, speak, and conduct worship in his Palace at Lam beth ! His brethren were, however, much scan dalised that dissenters should speak, and still more, that they should pray to the Almighty in the presence of an Archbishop ! The result has been that the Archbishop and other dignitaries of the Church of England have " declined" to attend the Berlin Council, although the Primate was bribed by a special invitation from the Monarch and the offer of a whole house to himself That, however, would not have prevented his having to listen to prayers not found in the book of Common Prayer, and offered by un-episcopally ordained clergymen. Protestant union seems to be inau gurated by the largest Protestant Church in Eu rope " declining" Union ! At the meeting itself all seems to have gone on merrily enough during the two days of which we have yet heard. There does really appear to have been a very proper Christian spirit among the numerous divines from all parts of the civis lised world, the services were conducted in several languages, and by the device of the 100th psalm printed in French and English and sung to the same tune, they contrived in past to worship to• gether. Popery, with its missal in an unknown tongue, has, however, the advantage of mechani cal unity of worship ; for a Garman, French, and English Minister, the latter being the lion. and Rev. BAPTIST NOEL, who has long joined the Baptist denomination, each offered extempore prayers in their respective tongues. The meeting of the second morning was "de voted to discourses on—Unity in spite of the diver sity of Protestant Christians." Of course these will be published in due time for the edification of all whom they may concern. For ourselves we should, of course, rejoice in any scheme which promises to keep religious peace among all the sects of Protestantism. We cannot, partly for the reason hinted at above, be very s Lupine. The personal interests and pride of Protestant priests, or beads of sects, will always be in the way of real and cordial union. Anything like Federation is impossible. Toe Protestant sects resemble much more the small republics of ancient Greece, and of middle age Italy, than they ever will those of the United States. Perpaull the>. logical war seems to be a condition of their free dom, perhaps of their very existence. We need hardly add that the King and Queen, too, were as affable, and even cordial, as possible. There was nothing of the cold reserve of our Cous t cerc • monial - ln their intercourse with the delegates whom the King addressed in several languages, professing Isis hearty zeal for their object—a pro fession we have no reason to think insincere. The delegates were loyal enough on their past, and testified their admiration of the liberal-minded monarch in shouts in all languages. Future historians a re t o write of a " Council of Berlin," which, if w e ma y believe one of the Fathers present, is to take rank not with the u m : dern Council of Trent, but with the early Christi an 1 Baron Macaulay (way s the Augsatrtl Gazette) is a Councils.

The All-absorbing interest attached to the intelligence reaching us from the East, has for a long time almost precluded us from anything beyond cursory glances at foreign news reaching us from time to time from other parts. Hence, though at other times news from the con tinent of South America is perused with attention, and commented upon with more or less interest by our journals, at present the most important may reach us and scarce occasion a single ramar's. The last arrival from Brazils and Buenos Ayres and the La Plata, for instance, is not without importance to many resident in this country. We learn that there exists a probability of a declaration of war against the rising independent State of Paraguay by the Brazaq, the causes being, I's usual, some supposed slight on the part of the Paraguan authorities to the officers of a Brazilian vessel approach- ing the shores of the former, Mr. Christy is oppor tunely in that quarter of the world, and may offer his friendly mediation to settle the difference. In Monte Video all seems at length quiet. The country is proe- .. _ poring, and a 9 proof of it land had risen some 50 per —.. LATEsT NEWS cent., within the last . 4- Jaw years. This speaks well, perhaps, as regards general prospects in the important La Plata districts. We hear nothing of the success or failure of Mr. Christy in settling matters between the now-separated Argentine provinces and Buenos Ayres. These countries, however, enfly p e „ e, and if reports way be credited, a very large increase of commerce, and with it of revenue, is one of the phasing result?. There is little besides worth of note, unless it is one of the proceedings of the Buenos Ayres Legislature, which some few years ago would have attracted more notice. It seems ene of the first acts of the now Governor, Dr. Alsina, has been (to mark his disapproval of General Rosas and of his long career of impolicy, blighting as it most certainly was in every sense to the progress and beat interests of his country), to declare the ex- President a traitor, which has been followed up by a further act confiscating the whole of his property. That Dr. .Alsina may have acted a little too much after the despltio system of Rosas himself in not according him a teial, some may consider is possible, and some may consider it hardly warranted. On the other hand it may be fairly asked where would have been the use of a trial with all its expensive, and (in this case) useless ceremony —for even if conviction followed, the verdict would be mere empty words—for where is the criminal, if such he really is ? Why, snug in Southampton far away from the reach of his prosecu tors. The word confiscation, however, suggests hints and considerations upon quite another but very interest_ ing topic to good many. Confiscation ! Who have endured this penalty more patiently, but usorecompletely, and almost to the utter an nihilation of their property and at one time of even hope itself, than the unfortunate hOlders of the paper or bonds known as the English Loan ? For full 21 years that the rule of Rosas prevailed, nothing was thought of their claim. At 60,0001. a year it may be said in the 20 years of his rule some 1,200,0001. was confiscated, which if paid, as in justice it should, and might have been out of the mortgaged revenues, customs dues, and all otcr resources, whatever ought to have found its way into the the pockets of the bondholders. This million and a quarter sterling remeine unpaid to this hour, and in value less coupons, dangles a lasting shame to the name and Government of Rosas. We fear we cannot offer much consolation either as to its ever being paid in a decent form, Some lor 2 per cent. Deferred Bonds are spoken of as compensation. It is a poor exchange where money is due, and has been so long overdue. The origieal bonds however it is proposed to treat with some regard to the original terming of the contract. Perhaps the bond holders may thank Messrs Baring or Mr. Giro and our Consul Mr. Parish that such is the intention. We trust this will not end in disappointment, though several cor respondents address us in terms of some despondency We trust this is a false alarm. If means exist, this debt ought to be paid. We know we have always argued and proved that ample means do exist. Driblets, and drib lets only, are forthcoming, and some fear that a promise of a practically augtnenteddividend —promised by Riestra, has already failed in performance. We have reason, how ever, to know that some mere formal difficulty only is in the way, and will be removed. Messrs. Berings will no doubt see to this. Buenos Ayres always paid her local debt— the principal even was almost entirely redeemed. What was the motive influencing Roses not to pay the English debt so far as interest upon it, he would find a difficulty in explaining away. He cannot say the terms were other than far too liberal. The Republic obtained 80 to 90 per cent, and have kept it and used it ever since. To apply the confiscated property of Rome in payment of his sad defalcations would be only just. This roan (Itosa-) destroyed the honour and credit of his country— in spite of all remonstrances, come from whatever quarter it might, whether Bishopegate-;treat or Down ing -street, in fact he set alt at defiance—and now lives to see if riot rue the result. A correspondent from Monte Video writing on the sentence passed on Rosa. winds up by emphatically remarking that—" Roses ! I think they have served bun quite right. He never bad any regard for his country—was a bar to all pro gress and improvement—neither science or commerce flourished—in fact, he cared for no one but himself. His game was robbery and plunder from the beginning unto the end of his career. I dare say he has bags-lull of money in England. Many assert that he has millions snugly secured independent of estate across the water, in the provinces of Buenos Ayres especially•" So much for Rosas and Buenos Ayres. Whilst touching on South American intelligence we cannot but regret space will riot enable us to refer at more length to Veit zuell and another tyrant quite a match for R 3833 in di shonesty if not in cruelty. We mean Monargas. Ju st like Rosas, he sets at defi n an o c s e es slid alljufosr 20 years. I t i s espec i a ll y againt and sacred fi nanc i a l c l a i ms, j us t, as r; English claims" that are thus treated. We remember well that when General Paez governed the Venezuelan Republic the b on dhollersreceived their dividends punctu• ally—it was true, on a reduced scale—but Monargas pays nothing, and has paid nothing for more than ten years. He has eimply amused or rather insulted the bond holders by despatching (30-called) commissioners, one batch after another, and when miserable terms have been apparently acceded to, he (Monargas) rejects the whole negotiation, and laughs at poor Mr. Mocatta, the scent to the committee of bondholders, who sent him to Caraccas. This Monargas is, as we said, another Rosae and unless ereedily relorreing his code of law and what passes ; justice, we apprehen d a similar, fate awaits us. We Fee another meetin g o f the unfortunate dupes i 3 called for Tuesday, 22d Se p t ember, to receive a report. in the meantime, Palmerston ought really to put a stop to a s y s tem of insolent, heartless, and defiant robbery and p l under of British subjects, L W o e rd s s hall Chlaavreen an Clarendon eye and to which nothing can excuse or palliate. General Paez, lately in England, maintains that means most ample exist for due and full payment of all claims. Monargas pays like Roses all local debts—it is the Eriglish aline that are selected like those of 'Buenos Ayres by Resae, for confiscalion. This case of Vencz lola is, if possible, worse than that of Buenos Ayres, and unfortunately the claim of the Vans zuelan creditors is four times the amount of the others.

THE Bpi& J;;AIL.—The India mail that art ived in London yesterday morning consisted of 10 cress f, ow Bonihay alone. That portion of the Indian mail having arrived before the Calcutta and China male, it wa. dispatched by the Fret.ch packet from Alexandria to Marseilles. The Calcutta, Ulla, and Austra lian mails may be expected in the course of a coup'e of days. Tee B;mbay wail was embarked at Celais io the roads yesterday morning, and was conveyed to Dover by the new mail packet Prince Frederick William, in the quickest time in which the passage was esti. performed. She ran the distance in 79 minutes, or at the rate of 20 statute nell s an h'ur. By a telegraph e despatch from Berlin, dated the 15th, we hear that the Chambers of the Duchy of Lacenburg have unanimously resolved to lay a complaint before the Germanic Die', that the negotiations ordered by the King for the acrangement of constitutional affairs have not yet taken place, in consequence of the opposition made to that measure by the Minister UnFgaards.

It desires its readers to "wait for further news" before they adopt the statements of the English Pfess as to the tranquillity of Western and Central India. It farther says that "a fact (1) not mentioned in the official communica tion, and which will be very sad if confirmed, is already spoken of. Gen. Sir Colin Campbell, who "was sent in such haste to India to take the com mand-in-chief, and who was expected to march on Delhi with the first European reinforcements that it was possible to collect, had fallen sick on his arri val at Calcutta. Of all the news omitted by the official telegraph this is the worst. We must wait for its confirmation." [Such are the little kind nesses of our Belgian friends in our Eastern diffi culty.] AUSTRALIA. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY, The ship summer Cloud, Captaiu**David Steele, arrived in the Mersey this forenoon, from Mel bourne, after a protracted passage of 128 days. She has a general cargo, a few passengers, and 7,961 ounces of gold, value 31,8441. She left Melbourne May 14, and has experienced light winds and calms during the great part of the voyage. Ore the 3d of July, lat. 22 N., long. 29 W., spoke her Majesty's steam-ship Industry, from Rio Janeir o to Ascension ; Aug. 5, the American ship Orion, for Calcutta, lat. 9 S., long. 34 W. ; Aug. 12, the Ame rican ship Rover, Capt.

The cholera had broken out among the troaps returning from Nicaragua. A. revolution had broken out on the borders of San Labrador, but it had been quelled. A famine prevailed in Honduras. General Canas occupied Nicaragua with a Costa Rican force, and the Presidental elec tion had not t.iken place.

The revolution in Peru continued. The fever was making great ravages in Bolivia. Vivanco was at Arequipa, and the Presi dent, with General San Roman, was about to attack him. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. The money market at New York had improved slightly, and there was a good sale for prime paper on the 31 at 12 to 15 per cent. There is a cessation of specie shipments to Europe. Exchange on London has fallen to 9 per cent. for bankers' bills. Thus there wilt be an immediate aceumuletion of gold in the vaults of the hanks. The cotton market continued dull, without quotable change in prices. The stock in this port, in store and shipboard, has been ascertained to be 16,246 bales, a figure a good .leal below what we had been led to expect from the previous weekly tables published in a leading city price current. Up to the latest mail dates the receipts of all the ports were 2,906,716 bales against 3,489,170 in 1856, and the total exports have been 2,248,590, against 2,940,291 bales last, year. Our ex ports to Great Britain exhibit the greatest falling off, and are 1,422,000, against 1,946,000 last year. To France we have sent 413,000 bales, against 479,000 last year. The total to other ports in Europe this year has been 412,000, against 520,000 last year. The Southern ports have sent to Northern ports 820,581, against 856,202 bales last year. We quote 15ic. for Midland Uplands, ditto Orleans 16c. The markei - , for breadstuffa opened dull; notwithstanding, there existed a hope rather than the belief that prices ha 4 touched bottom, yet under a desire to realise. Both kinds of Southern wheat are lower and dull. The sales were about 1 dol. 600. to 1 dol. 68e. for prime Tennessee white ; 1 dol.' 45c. to 1 dol. 650. for amber ditto • and 1 dol. 50c. to 1 dol. 65c. for Southern white.

To London 100, barrels etude turpentine were taken at 2s. 6d. THE LATE HORRIBLE MURDER AT LEIGH WOODS, CLIFTON. BRISTOL, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. Notwithstanding the extensive publicity which has been given to this murder, and the exertions which have been used, both by the Bristol and Somersetshire County Police, no identification of the body has yet been ascertained. A circumstance has, however, been brought to light, which pro mises more than anything that has heretofore occurred to lead to that result, and which has, in fact, already led to the arrest of one party. When the post-mortem examination of the body was about to barnacle, and the hair was being removed fur that purpose, it was observed that the deceased had worn a sort of riband a; the back of the head. During the post-mortem examination this riband became, in f3 ,1 11:V3 sort of way, lost sight of, but yesterday afternoon it was picked up by police constable Rowe, 77, of the county force, near the spot whiire the body had hem opened, trampled upon and dirty. The constable took it into the New Inn, where it was examined and found to be composed of some pieces of rich watered silk, neatly trimmed, and edged with velvet. It had beet) made up on a piece of card, and on that card being cleaned and examined it was found to be a card of membership of a carpenters' society connected with Bristol. The card when found was broken, but the fragments were ma . cited, and there were cliscovei ed upon the wordq, " Brother George Davis is clear up t) this date, 10th January, 1854;" sth division, 71, in writing. Upon inquiries being made at the club, it was av:certained that the card had been issued to a man named George Davis, wl o res des at Clifton. Hotwells, but who was engag ed. 'at the time of the discovery upon a work at Ham brook, Gloucestershire. It was farther as' ertaned that the man Davis ought to have attended his club last night, which he did not do, and consequently a constable proceeded this morning to Hambro:,k, and Davis is now at the New Inn. Whether any thing is kriown respecting him beyond the fact of his name being on the card, I am unable to say ; but should there be nothing more than that, i t seems hardly probable that he will be detained in custody. The woods were extensively searched yes!erday, and a p on d in Mr. Stnyth's ground s d rawn . T he only thing found was a pockethanclkerchief, which ) was wet and rolled up, and which was picked up • about 100 yards from the scene of the murder. THE MUTINIES IN INDIA. The following telegraphic despatch, addressed to Lord Clarendon, wai received at the Foreign office to-day, Sept. 17, 12.50 P.M. : ALEXANDRIA, SEPT. 12. general Havelock had advanced 25 miles from Cawnpore, towards Lucknow, but, after defeating the mutineers [in] three engagements, with loss of 21 guns, he was obliged to retrace his steps to Cawnpore, for the purpose of leaving his sick, considerably increased from cholera, and was waiting for reinforcements. At Agra the Krok contingent, and other rebels, had been entirely dispersed. A detachment of her Majesty's 10th and 37th Regiments, 300 strong, had made a night attack upon the men of the Bth and 40th Infantry, who had mutinied at Dinapore, but was dispersed with a loss of 200 killed. The irregular corps at Segowlie had mutinied and killed their officers. A plot to murder the Europeans at Jeosore and Benares had been discovered at Midnapore. The Shakawanti battalion was wavering, but had not been disarmed yet. Martial Law had been proclaimed in Behar. Great uneasiness was felt in Calcutta of an out break during the approaching Mohurrun, and the body guard had been disarmed, but allowed to retain their horses. Lord Elgin arrived on the Bth of August with 400 marines and a company of her Majesty's 59th Regiment, and another steamer had brought some of the troops of the Transit.

The Paris correspondent of the Times (Second Edition) says : " Although one or tvo of the Paris papers posi tively contradict the statement that preparations are making indicative of the expecte' or possible visit of a great personage to this capital, I am not on that account shaken in my belief that such an event is on the cards, and that the Emperor of Russia will be invited to come to Paris. It is thought here, iu well-informed quarters, that the Rnperor Napoleon would very much liks to bring together, at the Tuileries, the Sovereigns of Great Britain and of Russia. This idea may not be realisable— at least for the present—but it is still hoped that the Emperor Alexander will come to France." FRANCE. PARIS, WEDNESDAY. ft has been state 1 in some of the journals that the Prince Napoleon is about to marry a Princess of the House of Savoy ; but this statement cannot be true, inasmuckarrthetwo daughters of the King of Sardinia, the Princess Clotilda and the Princess Mary, are only aged respectively 14 and 10. The rail way branch from Chalons to the camp, 25 kilometres in length, was opened yesterd a y, i n the very short time of 70 da3 s from the first survey. A train left Paris at 9in the morning, conveying M. Rouhcr, Min;ster of Public Works, M. de Franque villa, Director-General of Railroaris, the Count de Segur, and a number of directors and other persons connected with the company. The terminus is near the village of Little Mourmelon, just out .ide the limit of the military territory, but close to the Roman road leading up to the imperial head quarters ; close also to the commissariat establish ments, which are at the south-western corner of the camp. The opportunity of the opening of the branch was taken to present the Emperor with a suits of carriages, built for his express accommodation, 'and which he had promised to go to the terminus to receire. No less than 2,400 workmen have been c - nstantly employed on the branch. The telegraph was opened a fortnight age. At 3 p.m. the Imperial carriaaez, glittering' with gilding, arrived at the terminus, and the Emperor came up jug.; at the same moment, with Marshals Valliant and Can robart, General de St. Jean d'Augely, and other officers. He appeared greatly to admire the train constructed for his use. It consis'a of five carriages, communicating by little bridges, and comprises ante room, larder, dining room (the 13tter wainscoted in oak, with furniture of the same wcod), a carriage arranged as a terrace with choice flowers and a balustrade of beautiful work manship (this carriage is uncovered) ' • then comes the drawing-room, fitted up in the style of Louis XV., with furniture of sculptured and gilt wood, and Aubusson carpets ; two bedrooms complete the sumptuous suite of apartments. The carriages are decorated externally with carved and gilt bronzes. The whole getting up of this railway mansion is re markably perfect, and well worthy of an Imperial travelling residence. It cost nearly 300,000 f. The BUENOS AYRES LOAN. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlB,—Various reports bare circulated on this subject , and some doubt expressed as to the bona fides of Senor Riestra and his Government. Theyare not woll-founded. The fact is 36,000/. ought to have been remitted to Messrs. Baring this year (1857). It is understood it has not been so remitted. On the other hand, it is currently reported Senor Riestra has ample funds, and is fully alive to the engagement he entred into as regards the Active Debt. The formal approval of Congress is alone wanting. No doubt Vsere seems delay, and unac. countable delay too in all this. As nine months of 1857 have nearly run out, the said 12,000 4 of 1857 may be added to the 48,0001. promised in 1858, thus making a sum of 60,0001. Eque to the full dividend of 6 per cent. a small surplus to wards a redemption fund for next year. Now for the causes, or one cause, of all this. I give it on rumour. One or more very large holders of these bonds are understood, in their anxiety for better conditions, to have written out to Messrs. Baring's Ilgent, unknown to the distinguished firm, to the committee, or •to the bondholders, and urging on him to press for 3 per cent. on all Deferred Bonds or Coupons, instead of only 2, or any medium. This act, (no doubt excellently well intended) is, it is clear, simplY a terrible blunder, and besides being unjust to Messrs• Baring, the committee and the bondholders, is equally so to the agent, Mr. White, thus unfair to all concerned , I give this as I hear it, but probably no great injurY will result in the end—and as to quarrelling with such good intention, one is half disarmed—but amistake it has been, most assuredly on the part of some well-intentione d persons.—l am sir, your obedient servant, A LOOKER-ON AND A HOLDER OF £10,500 BONDS. City, Sept. 14. THE RED SEA TELEGRAPH. It will be seen by the following that the corn' pany decline to lay down an electric telegraph unless upon a guaranteed rate of interest : " To SIR JAMES MELVILL, K.C.B. " 8, Moorgate-street, Sept. 15.• "Sir,—l am instructed by the directors of the Red See Telegraph Company to acknowledge the receipt 0 1 your letter to Mr. Marshman, of 12th inet., requesting to b e informed upon what terms this company will be pre pared to lay down the line of telegraph from Suea, to Surrachee. • • "In reply I am directed to state that in the original proposal made to .the Court to lay down a line of tlegr:l 3 ; from Alexandria to Aden the directors were influences by many considerations, but mainly by the opportun 4 then open to them of btaining the Atlantic cable at moderate cost on board ships prepared to convey it at once to, its destination, and of completing the commune cation so far for a " comparatively small sum within s very, short period. " Since that time circumstances have undergone * material change. It is understood that the AsiAel r Telegraph Company, seeing no immediate prospect o selling their cable, have resolved to unship and retain it' In the meantime the cable has been the subject of d e traetory comments, and the alleged impracticability e' the project has been industriously circulated upon t le authority of the Court's Chief Superintendent of Tele' praphs in India. Tae directors have never been in e condition to say that they had a definitive and complete arrangement with the Government, the Board of CIF trol having repudiated the statement that the East Tani Company had guaranteed 20,0001. a year, and Ono thrown doubts upon the Board's basis of operations. The, time has run on, Parliament has risen, and a period e' the year has arrived at which almost all commercial sir terprises are stagnant. sg From these various causes the directors approv e with much unwillingness a suggestion for increasing to ed scale of their outlay and extending their operations, O A after the experience gained they can only feel juitia°'_ the Courts out the prospect of being able to carry out Court's wishes on the principle of a guarantee by t, ll O Hon. the East India Company on the came basis as tu railways. " The circumstances already alluded to have satisf-ela the directors that any attempt to enlist the public W e. rest in favour of this undertaking short of such a- 05 fi ll :; rantee would at present fail, and it remains for the; India Company and the Government to decide whe the ; the telegraph shall be laid at once on those tern:o °' postponed until the money-market shall be more favo l s , r ; able, and the immediate urgency shall, perhaps, ha' passed away. r - _ lr " If the East India Company and the Governln e° shall concur with the directors in thinking that the iot: bli•hment of telegraphic communication with Ind ia is ; matter of paramount importance, the following ter o o are proposed as those on which success could, in probability be relied upon, viz. : " 1. That the East India Coinp;.ny should guaranty interest at the rate of * per cent. on the capital, paid up, of 700,000/ , to connect Suez and S u rrachee• Le " 2. That the East India Company should have tu opportunity of controlling the expenditure of the C0 131 ,i pany, and the choice of a cable if they desire it, An_ have the power of appointing an ex officio director at thu board. - - " 3. That all receipts from all sources be paid into th e treasury of the-East India Company, as a set-off to the guarantee. "4. That one-half the profits above * per cent. he paid to the shareholders, and the other moiety to th e East India Company, until the advance be coui p letelf liquidated, and that the guarantee shall cease as soon" ll the net profits have amounted to 7i per cent. for tig° consecutive years. "5. That not less than 5 per cent. of the capital to be paid up at once, and the work to be completed with one year from the signing of the contract. " I am further desired to state that as the execetie,: of this most important work has been undertaken by t", directors with the sole object of meeting the anii°ll, wishes of the public , both in England and in India, ltr:, epective of any personal views, should the Court be BD abled to adopt any other more lexpeditious mean s to effecting the object, the directors will be prepare,' a , render every possible assistance in reference to the „1, mans they hold and otherwise, and in all their arr ag6 4 meats for prosecuting the undertaking in the present "to any modified form to consult the great public in ter° involved in it. ent " I have the honour to be, sir, your most ob e-- , , servant, " C.
