The anxiously looked for telegraphic intelli gence, in anticipation of the Overland Mail from India, was received at half-past five o'clock yes terday afternoon at the Foreign-office, through the Admiralty. It came by the Pekin, which arrived at Suez on the 4th, bringing dates from Bombay to the 15th of August. It is as usual of a chec quered character. On the whole, however, it is saVisfactory, and fully as good as could have been anticipated. Indeed, in some respect; so far as the previously disturbed districts are concerned, it is butter than we had any right to expect. The brave HAVELOCK, with his gallant band, appears to have again defeated the miscreant, NANA- SAHIB. It is true that his name is not mentioned, nor do we hear that the atrocious assassin has personally received the exemplary punishment due to his crimes. All the telegram mentions is, "General HAVELOCK defeated the rebels, at Abipur-al-Gunge, on the 20th and 30th of July, taking nearly all their guns. He expected to reach Lucknow on the 31st of July." The word Abipur-al-Gunge is, however, manifestly a misprint, for "at Bithoor-al-Gunge," the strong hold of the rebel chief. If nearly all his guns had been captured—the guns bestowed on him by the mistaken favour of the Anglo-Indian Govern ment—he would, to a great extent, be deprived of the power of doing much further mischief. It *would appear that there must have been sharp fighting, for the contest was continued during two days--the 29th and 30th July—and it must have been very decisive, for not only were nearly all tlac guns taken, but HAVELOCK felt himself jus.E ft, e a la marching t o th e re li e f o f L uc k now , w hi c h 10 onleeted to reach the following day, viz., the ;iitit July, and he would have scarcely taken such step, While Nana. Sahib remained with any consi derable force is his rear, capable of again attack ing Ci awnP°", or marching upon Agra, where more than 5000 fugitiveshad syuelt shelter and protoction. The safety of Lucknow a p pears to bo ensured by this success. With . Li4avtlock's triumphant wrony moving onward, it i 3 impoisiblo to suppose that the rebels would persavere in their attacks on tho devoted garrison. Tho3o who so bravely de frnited their position, hoping almost against hops, Y.d submitting to the greatest privation, will receive the just reward of their fortitude and en durance. Tney were not diseourzlged even by the death of their renowned and revered leader, Sir I. I.awrance. Thefailnre of provisions was the "'LAY danger they dreaded, and that will now be averted, and not only the noble garrison, but the 200 English women and children with whom they cheerfully shared their scanty rations, rescued from a fate too horrible to contemplate. At Agra too, we hear that "the Europeans re- Inaiued in the fort well able to hold out, but anxi ously awaiting relief." This they will unquestion ably obtain from General Havelock, who, when he I has placed matters at Lucknow on a satisfactory footing, will be able to march to Agra, which is about half-way between Lucknow and Delhi, or it may be strengths vd by some of the reinforce ments marching towards Delhi, who will take Agra en route. The complete defeat of Nena Sahib, and the capture of his artillery will avert one of the chief dangers with which the garrison were threatened. We may therefore rea - sonably hope that the 5,000 non-combatants who were congregated at the station may continue in safety until they can find their way to Calcutta. The daring attack which the garrison and volunteers made on the rebels—an attack which wauld have been completely successful but for the blowing up of the tumbrils, and consequent failure of ammu nition, taught a salutary lesson to the mutineers, convincing them how heavy a price they would have to pay before they could carry their sangui nary desires into execution. Delhi still holds out, or at least did so on the 27th July. It was said that " the siege was progressing slowly," and that "reinforcements were beginning to arrive." It is quite evident from the above curt statements that we still maintained our ground, and that the mutineers, warned by the severe defeats they had previously sustained, made no further sorties or attacks on the British lines. The terriblepressuro on the com manders has been further illustrated by the severe illness of Gen. REID, who had been compelled to re-• linquish the command to Brigadier-Gen. A. WIL SON. Sir COLIN CAMPBELL had however arrived at Calcutta, and would speedily assume the whole responsibility. Should the health of the hardy Highlander continue unimpaired, he would be enabled to come to close quarters with the rebels in their selected stronghold. Our readers know that we did not entertain any expectation of the limmediate fall of Delhi, or that any assault could be hazarded before the arrival of very consider able reinforcements. The honour and glory of its capture will be reserved for Sir Corm.. CAMPBELL, who will be enabled Ito inflict a crushing blow on the rebellion at its very fountain and origin. In one respect its con tinuance is useful, as it serves as an attraction to the mutineers, who might otherwise he scattered over the country plundering all before them, wasting the land, and cutting off the innocent inhabitants. It may be regarded as the neck of the rebellion, that may be severed at a single blow, just as the resources of Russia were con centrated on, and exhausted at, Sebastopol. The Sealkote mutineers had already received the exemplary chastisement they so richly merited Our readers will remember that it was the 9th Light Cavalry and 46th Native In• fantry that had turned their arms against those by whom they were fed and paid. They had attempted to march on Delhi, but had been caught by Brigadier NICHOLSON, and we now hear of their total destruction at Goodahpore, by the same gallant officer. The sword of justice has fallen promptly and energetically an these wretches. We also hear that Colonel STEWART' S column had reached Indoro, and that tranquillity was restored in Central India. So far all is cheering and satisfactory. We find, however, that the 7th, Bth, and 40th Re giments, and 12th Irregular Cavalry, mutinied at Dinapore on the 23d of July. They were promptly punished, for her Majesty's 10th Foot shot down eight hundred of them. We suppose it was the remnant of these regiments that were reported to be matching on Benares, and that occasioned so much terror to the inhabi tants of the so-called sacred city. We regret to find that disaffection had appeared in one of the regiments whose fidelity had not hitherto been questioned : "A mutiny has broken out in the 27th Bombay Native Infantry at Kolapore, in the Southern Mahratta country. European troops have been sent against the mutineers, and are said to have quelled the disturbance. Great alarm prevails in Belgaum, Dharwez, Rutnagherry, and Sattara, where means of de fence have been adapted. "The ex-Ranee of Sattara and a native Rajah have been taken into custody and brought pri soners to Bombay. " A Mahomedan conspiracy has been dis covered in the Bombay Presidency, and the Moo alvie of Poonab, with several accomplices, have been apprehended and await trial. The above may be regarded as the only draw backs to the intelligence, and we concur with the Bombay Times in the opinion that " the rebel lion has been checked, and that the news by this mail is of a decidedly cheering character." Her Majesty's 33d Regiment and a company of Artillery arrived at Bombay from the Mauritius, and the Pottinger and Canning on the 4th of Augu-it. It is mainly for the sake of the native Indians that the Hudson's Bay Company vindicate the grants they have received. If we are to credit these pretences they may be regarded as a levia than aboriginal protection society, their solo object being the welfare and prosperity of the Red Indian ! The procuring a 10 per cent. dividend, with an occasional bonus, is altogether a secondary consideration. Wild fur-bearing animals are only thought of so far as they may enable the Company to ameliorate the condition of the dear Indians. They take especial care to keep the "fire water" from their interesting pro tegees. Indeed they, seem to have been the firs t to introduce the principle of the Maine liquor law, and for that they are contented with tli moderate remuneration of the exclusive possession of some throe millions of square miles, and a mono• poly of the lucrative trade to be transacted thereon. Such a demand, so wholly opposed to British feeling and British legislation of late years, must be strictly scrutinised before it can be admitted. We must first asceitain whether the rule of the Company is so very beneficial to the Aborigines and if so, whether similtr results may not be ol tained at a less sacrifice ? It is asserted by the Company's witnesses that there are, in round terms, something less than 150,000 native inhabiting the extensive district under its control and management, or to go more closely into the account, 147,000. This will give more than 20 square miles, or 12,800 acres, for each person, including women and children, ornearly 100 square miles, or 64,000 acres, for an average family. Now, that quantity of ground would, even taking into consideration the peculiar quali• ties of soil and climate, support a far greater number, and without in any degree disregarding the interests of the natives, we may fairly enquire Whether th e A ng l o -S axon race , w h o are p r actically (xelu , led f rom the advantages, have not E t least equal clams on our consideration. It is said that the natives have always receded before the footstep of th e white man—that they cannot co-exist in th e same territory with men of far superior energy and industry. This, to a certain extent, may be true , but should we on that account permit a large porti o n o f t h e N ew Woxid to remain un civilised and unimproved Should the fairest districts be surrendered to the exclusive use of the aboriginals and a few mono- 843 y LON r , ON i M 0,1\" Li -LA. polists, who may contrive to enter into trading relations with them ? We may in this instance certainly ref trf* the axiom that "charity begins at home," atil,46 . must not prohibit th e en t er p r i se of our own brettes, from any vague apprehen sions that the Iled - afan may not be enabled to continue in a state of barbarism when competition has once been established. Our mission is far different. We should treat them in the best manner possible, but we must not oppose insu• perable obstacles in the way of the pioneers of civilisation, because there may possibly be some inconvenience to others. As we have already stated, " property has its duties as well as its rights," and wo must regard the full development of the natural capabilities of the couutry as of paramount importance. The greatest good for the greatest number, is a sound :precept in such matters. As to the " tee-totaller's" argument, it is of course desirable that a savage race should, so far as practicable, be preserved from the degrading influences of excess, and we may, for the purpose of the argument, admit that they are incapable of moderation. But it is by no means clear that the Company have succeeded in their avowed ob ject, or even if such were the case, that it would be worth the price which we are required to pay therefor. That they can procure ardent spirits occasionally, despite all the prohibitory regula tions that have been established, is unquestion able, and it is more than probable that greater evils are occasioned than would be the case if there were a more equable supply. It is the very difficulty of attainment that increases the • temptation and leads to excess. " Forbidden joys are sweet," and the same rule applies to savage, as well as to more civilised nations, If rum or whiskey could be easily obtained by the aborigines they would soon learn to be con tented with the use and to avoid the abuse thereof. At all events the question may be fairly argued ; and when the decision carries with it the impor tant principles of freedom or restrictions the for mer should at least have the benefit of the doubt. At present the Indians are wholly dependent on the Company. They must Fell what they have to spare, and purchase what they require at the Company's tariffs ; and the Company pay ten per cent., with a frequent bonus, out of the operations. It certainly seems that such practices cannot be very beneficial. They aro bound not only to sell in the cheapest, and purchase in the dearest mar ket, but to sell for whatever their customers may choose to offer, and to purchase for whatever they may please to demand. This is the case of the Indian trader, and it will be difficult b convince any unprejudiced or disinterested man that it is a satisfactory state of affairs, no matter what amount of sophistry or special pleading may be resorted to by the Company or their servants. We must recollect, too, that the evidence is altogether one-sided. They have produced nono but interested witnesses—men desirous of perpe tuating the present system, whose craft is endan gered by the agitation. None others are qualified to speak in consequence of the jealousy manifested towards any interloper, and the rigorous system of exclusion in operation. They " make a solitude and call it peace ;" they prevent the possibility of general information, and then complain that there is not conclusive testimony against them. They cannot, however, profit by their own wrong. We Can only oppose them on general principles. But these are so clearly, so unequivocally, in opposi tion to their theories that the latter cannot be justified. As we have already stated, the Hud son's Bay Company's charter is diametrically opposed to public policy ; and, therefore, it must be got rid of, even though our transatlantic brethren were not disposed to take the law into their own hands, and to devise an adequate remedy should we be unwilling to legislate on this interest ing topic. THE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE.—IIia Royal Highness the General Commanding-in• Chief has been shooting during the past week on the estate attached to Gleverin Hall, Suffolk. The Duchess of Wellington has gone to Yestor House, Haddingtonshire, on a visit to the Marquis and Mar chioness of Tweddale. At the close of her visit the duchess proceeds to Balmoral for her term of waiting on her Majesty. The duke remains at his seat in Norfolk. The Marquis and Marchioness of Ailesbury are stay ing at Jerveaus Abbey, Yorkshire, surrounded by a circle of friends. The Earl of Clarendon left Balmoral on Saturday, from attendance on the Queen, for Haddo House, Aber deenshire, to visit the Earl of Aberdeen. The Countess and Lady Constance Hyde, who came to town some days since from a continental tour, have arrived at Rose Castle, on a visit to the Bishop of Car lisle and Mrs. Villiers. The Earl Granville and Lord Stanley of Alderley ha` e been staying with Lord Panmure, at Invermark, his shooting quarters in Scotland. The noble lord the Pre sident of the Councit has left for Balmoral, to relieve the Earl of Clarendon in attendance on the Queen. The Earl and Countess of Stradbroke returned to Henham Hall, Suffolk, on Friday, from Ireland. Lord and Lady Willoughby d'Eresby have been enter• t a i n ing, during the past week, at Drummond Castle, Perthshire, the Earl and Countess of Derby anal Lady Emma Stanley, the Countess of Jersey and Lady Oie mentina Villiers, the Hon. Gilbert Heathcote, &c. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess de Montpensier leave their villa at Richmond at the end of the month, on their return to Spain for the winter.. His Excellency the Ambassador of France and the Countess de Persigny returned to the residence of the French Embassy on Saturday night, after a week's visit to Mr. and Lady Caroline Townley, at their seat in Lan cashire. His Excellency and the Countess visited the Arts Exhibition at Manchester, en route to London. Sir Thomas and Lady Redington have left the St. George's Hotel. Mr. Secretary Labouchere arrived in town on Satur day morning, from Castle Howard, and left in the afternoon for Stoke, near Windsor. A local paper states that the came of Mr. John Frost, the chartist, and ex-Mayor of. Newport, appears on the Town-hall door, as claiming to be restored to the list of freemen for the borough. INDIAN RELIEF PUND.—At Hull on. Friday, and at Carlisle on Thursday, public meetings convened by the chief magistrates of these boroughs, were held to devise means of showing sympathy with our suffering brethren in India. A strong feeling. prevailed, and funds will be subscribed. THE NEW GOODS STATION OF THE LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.—This new and extensive structure at the Camden station, intended to supply the place of that lately destroyed by fire, is rapidly progres sing. The building occupies t h e seine site, but extends lover will a b much alualrtgeedr throughout,area, occupyingn renderea as far as d 59,000 square feet. possible fire-proof. The stables, to accommodate 270 horses, will be built apart from the goods warehmses, together with the smiths' shops and machinery rooms, and will communicate, by means of a tunnel under the Gloucester-road, with the goods station. Mr. Glaishor states, in the Journal of the Royal Agricultural Society, that the price of potatoes iu the second quarter of the present year was GO per cert. higher in London than in the spring quarter of ISSG. What will the price be next spring ? It is too soon to offer any decided opinion up )n this important question, but it is not too soon to say that the disease is already making progress in all directions. Reports reach us (Gardeners' Chronicle) for eo many placee, and are so consistent with our personal knowledge, that we begin to fear something like a return of 1840. The dramatic season at the Surrey Theatre cow menc, s this evening'with the drama of "A Bird in the Hand is Worth Two in the Bush," and a new burlesque on the " Traviata," with the Chtiety's Minstrels' entertainment between the pieces. SEATS IN THE PARKS, —Why do the authorities insist on iron seats ? Iron supports and framework are very well ; but ironbeing very susceptible of atmospheric id fluences, is surely the last material in the world for a siert ! — The Builder. Miss Florence Nightingale is now staying at Malvern, and i 4 under hydropathic treatment. A NEW CANDIDATE FOR GREENWICH.—Mr. Wakley, coroner for Middlesex, and formerly u.ember for the Borough of Finsbury, will, it is stated, detest the re presentation of this borough at the next vacancy. Sir. G. PECHELL.—There is a rumour current through Brighton that Sir George i 3 about to accept office as a l i Lord of the Admiralty, in place of Admiral Berkeley, who lost hid seat in Parliament at the recent election. E_ N I 1.4-1.1,:'," HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. —The most interesting feature in the lyrical entertainments for the present week will be the reopening of her Majesty's Theatre, on Friday evening, for Italian operatic performances, at reduced prices, with Piccolomini, Spezzia, and the other popular artistes, who have been recently performing in the provinces. MEATRE ROYAL, DRURY-LANE.—The formation of a dramatic company to support Mr. Roberts, the cele brated American tragedian, who is to make his first ap pearance in England on the boards of Old Drury, will shortly be completed, and the public will have an oppor tunity of witnessing his debut, on the 21st inst., in the arduous character of Sir Giles Overreach. Mrs. Sinclair will repeat her performance of Beatrice at the Haymarket, the first three evenings of the present week, and will undertake the character of Lady Teazle on the three concluding nights.

Mr. F. Belton has arrived from New York, and will shortly make his appearance in one of our theatres. The object. however, for which Mr. Belton has undertaken this Icing and somewhat sudden journey relates to some private affairs connected with the death of a relative, from whom he had large pecuniary expectations, and which, from some circumstances that have occurred, will probably lead to legal proceedings. CLOSE OF THE ART TREASURES EXHIBITION.—The Committee of the Art Treasures Exhibition at Manches ter have resolved to close it on the 15th Oct. next. ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, GRAY'S , INN-ROAD. The number of patients relieved at this hospital during the week ending Sept, 12, is 1,954, of which 674 were new cases. Tin RIOTS IR BELFAST.—AII is quiet at Belfast. The Riot Act was read on Sunday night, after which the crowd dispersed. No serious casualty had occurred. The c'ointnissiikp opens to-day. The accounts from the South of Russia represent the harvest round the Sea of Azoff as wonderful, and that Berdiansk is likely to take away much of the trade of Odessa. The weather (says the Aberdeen correspondent of the Edinburgh, Express) continues very unfavourable for the harvest. Not a fourth part is yet secured in the stack yard, and sprouting has commenced extensively. - Mr. M'Corthy, a member of the Geographical. So ciety of Paris., has just started on a journey to Tim buctoo, He speaks Arab and various African dialects with great fluency. He travels alone. THE WEATHER AND CROPS IN SCOTLAND.—Most un seasonable weather for cutting and gathering in the crops of Scotland now prevails, and great fears are en tertained for the results. About one-third of the crop only is.secured. The rainy weather has also increased the potato disease, and one of our correspondents who has just travelled over the greater part of the north of Scotland says, " The loss may he estimated at one-third ; but as the potatoes are a very heavy crop this season, the total quantity saved will, after all, be little short of an average crop." We (llerapath) have heard, but hope it is not true, that a new cause of dissension has sprung up between the London and North-Western and Great Western companies, arising, it is said; out of one of the companies departing, by underselling the other, from an agreement mutually entered into by them to run at equal fares to certain towns. If there be any truth in this, we hope the good sense of the two boards will put an end to it, by coming to a prompt understanding. If not, we trust the shareholders will do it for them ; they have had enough, one would think, of competition. SHOALS OF SALMON.—During several days in the beginning of last week, the river Boon, near its mouth, was altnoit choked up with salmon endeavouring, apparently, to ascend the river for the purpose of spawn ing. The water in the river was so low that several of the fish stranded themselves in shallow pools. —A yr Advertiser. TWEED SALMON FISHING.—The fishing has been rather unproductive so far as the lower fisheries in the river is concerned, with the exception of some of the stations at its mouth, where a good many fish have bean got. The fresh on Sunday allowed some fish to pace upward, and there were a few got in the Coldstream district on Monday and Tues3ay. The flood on Wednes day brought away a good many fish. We heard of a water near Horneliff where nearly 50 salmon weretaken, and all the middle had-more or less.. The condition of the fish is upon the whole good.—Berwick Advertiser. Durts.ut HERRING FISHING, Sept. 10.—Above 100 boats entered the harbours this morning, all having fish, and generally of excellent quality ; the hiehest boat was over 20 craw, and a great many from 10 to 15 crane. Prices : The best qualities ranged from 30s. to 345. di. per cran ; some boats having mixed herring sold from 21s. to 28s. per crau. The fishing as yet hils been all on the float and at the mouth of the Firth, where the herring are evidently making for the spawning ground, ; and, it the weather keep good, great quantities are likely to be got when the ground fishing begins. There was no fishing yesterday owing to the boisterous weather. DEATH OF A CHARACTER.—Mr. Robert Floekhart, the well-kno mu street preacher, died on Tuesday morning, in his 80th year. In season and out of season—on Sun days and on week-days, and in every variety of weather --his bent, little figure was seldom to be missed, up to a recent period, from his post at the corner of West St. Giles Church. Here he used to hold forth from a chair to large crowds with a simplicity, earnestness, and . quaintness that never failed to arrest attention. Having served in the army, he used to sustain the interest of his hearers and illustrate his appeals by graphic tales of his adventures by flood r nd field, told with much effect in racy, idiomatic Scotch.—Scotsman. Extract of a letter from her Majesty's ship Indefati gable, Rio de Janeiro, Aug. 14, 1857.—" A slaver has been reported outside the harbour ; we have sent two boats out manned and armed to look for her, the launch and the second barge ; they carry three guns. We have been looking out for the Cumberland these six weeks they tell us she left England 49 days since, and several ships have seen her at Madeira and other places. The Admiral has written an order to tell us that he is going to Plymouth to be paid off if he has not got other orders ; we expect to sail in a week after the Cumber land arrives." INSTABILITY Or FORTIINE.--Mr. Beeston, a timber merchant of Bristol, some years ago, retired on a for tune of nearly 4,000/. a year, the proceeds of a landed estate which be had bought in Herefordshire. Unfortu nately for Mr. Beestor, tie did not spend all his income, and wanting more money, he put a few thousands into the firm of Bruford, Dyer and Co., a mercantile house,by which ho became a sleeping partner, thou g h hi s name notappear before th e pu bli c. The week before this firm broke, M r . B eeston was summoned to Bristol on Monday week, and then found that every shilling of his fortune was swallowed up in the debts of the house.—Bristol Mercury. THE NEW BILL YOE ESIIGRATION TO VICTORI A .— Tbe Government had laid on the table of the Legisla tive Council the amended Emigration A consider able part of Mr. Childer's scheme is abandoned. The bill introduced by that gentleman, and which passed the lower house, contained 21 clauses. Of these the first four only are retained, and they are materially altered. The measure, as it now stands, leaves the ex i s ti ng immigra tion arrangement substantially untouched, and proposes simply to substitute a new selecting machinery in Eng land for the presentcommissioners. With thi s olject it authorises the appointment of " an agent in the United Kiegdoni," and sub-agents or thei r o ffi cers , " no t ex ceeding three in number . " The functions of the agent aro to be confined strictly to the " super i n t en d ence o f emigration to Victoria, , ' the selection er approval of sui-able persons, and the charteringof ships.—Australian and Nets Zealand Gazette. THE MOORS AND FOREETS.—Grcuse shooting has almost ceased except on tl.e low grounds. Wherever they have had it in their poeer, sportsmen have turned to the deer forests, which seem to be well stocked with deer of excellent quality. Lord Lovat's party, consist ing of his lordship, the Master of Lorat, and the Hon. 11. Fraser, the Earl of &afield, the Hon. C o l one l Char teris, and Mr. Lindsay, brought down no I..es than 17 stags and 4 hinds lest week, and 12 stags the week be fore. We have heard it reported that, on the 23th of August, Lady Meex brought down a deer to her own gun, and shot from the shoulder at a distance of eighty yards. The stags are in high condition at Strathvaich Forest this season. Mr. Watson shot a stag on Monday last at Glendale, but the party are sparing of the grouse, which are scarce, and of the black-game, 'which though much more numerous than last year, should be encau raged.—lnverness Courier. SEIZURE OF CORPORATION EFFECTS FOR DOUBLE INCOME TAX,—TYNESIOUTII, Sept. 12.—The collectors of income tax for the Tynemouth in district have seized upon the baths and wash-houses belonging to the cor poration of this borough for their share of a re-assessment of double income-tax to make up a defalcation of T. Brigge, a tobacconist, who collected 1,7001., for which he has not accounted. The seizure has been made under instructions from the authorities at Somerset-house ; but the corporation has already given notice that they intend to proceed against the collectors for trespass. The re -assessment for which they have seized was made upon the debentures on the new cemetery, which were entered into subsequent to Briggs' defalcation and bank ruptcy. As there arc many parties in the borough who refu:e to pay the re-assessment, and as the collectors have received instructions to seize upon all defaulters, more distraints are expected to b.; made in a few days. CATTLE PROS THE NORTH OF EUROPE.—The gross imports of cattle into Lowestoft; harbour last week from Husum, Frederickstadt, and 'Penning (Duchy of Schles wig) amounted to 4,024 beasts and 1,293 oxen. The North of Europe Steam Navigation Company's steamer, the City of Norwich, Captain Oliver, and the founing, Captain Russell, arrived on Friday ; and the Cumber land, Ca;)tain River s , f o llowed on Saturday. The Cum berland brought 221 boasts and 220 sheep, and the other vessels having equally largo cargoes, the stock was despatched to town in five special trains, as they had been monsigned as usual to metropolitan firms. A tele graphic messag e rece i ve d on Saturday from Lowestoft states that a fou r th s t eam er, the Royal Victoria, Capt. Rese, was also expected to arrive in time to enable her cargo to be despatched to the metropolitan market. It is probable, therefore, that the total arrivals will be as heavy as last week. The importations will continue for about Eix ks or longer, but they will bo suspended during the winter months. LATEST ).NE W THE MUTINIES IN INDIA.

The French Government has, received a telegra phic despatch from Jassy announcing that the Mol davian elections, which had commenced on the 10th inst , had, as far as concerns the first operations, been in favour of the Unionists. Of 32 votes 27 were in favour of the union of the provinces. The clergy voted on the 10th. The great proprietors voted yesterday, together with the peasants in the com munes. To-day is the turn of the small proprietors in the chief towns of the arrondissements. The elections of the same class in the chief towns of dis tricts are fixed for to-morrow. The peasants in the chief towns of the arrondissements are to vote on the same day. The peasants in the chief towns of districts will vote on the 16th, and the elections in the great towns will follow on the 17th. M. Vogorides, th© Kaimakan, had proposed to adjourn the elections, but the Porte had, of its own accord, refused, by a telegraphic despatch, to admit any further delay. SWEDEN. We have received the following telegraphic de spatch from Stockholm : " STOCKHOLM, SEPT. 12. "The King yesterday, in virtue of the terms of the Constitution, appointed a provisional Go vernment, on account of his illness. " A motion was made this day in the Parlia ment that the King should nominate the Crown Prince Regent of the Kingdom." TURKEY. A Constantinople letter of the 2d in the Gazette du Midi gives the conditions of the concession lately granted by the Porto of a railway from the Danube to the Black Sea, starting from Boghaskeni tai that river, and. terminating at Kustendjie :—" The con cession has been given to an English company founded by MM. T. Wilson, Cunard, Price, Paget, Lewis, and Newall, and represented at Constanti nople by Mr. Trevor Barkley. Three thousand shares are to be issued, of which 2 , 000 have been already taken and paid for in England. The firman of the concession had been sent to England, and in a fern days the engineers of th e company were to proceed to Kusteudjie and take advantage of the present low state of the river to commence some of the works. The duration of the concession is 99 years from the ,date when the line shall be opened. The company will be put in posses sion of all the land required, subject to indemni fying the proprietors according to a valuation, but in no case can any religious buildings be interfered with. At the expiration of 99 years the Ottoman Government is to come into possession of the line in perfect working condition ; the stock, buildings, arc., to be taken at a valuation. The company is authorised to construct a port as Kusteudjie ac cording to pans to be 'submitted to the Turkish Government. The port and the railway are to be completed in five years. The comfany was bound to deposit a sum of 6,0001. sterling, which condition has been complied with. If in nine months from the delivery of the firman the works are not com menced, the concession will be null and void." FRANCE. PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING. It is reported in Paris to-day that the Emperor and Empress of Russia will, after their interview with the Emperor Louis Napoleon, at Stuttgard, proceed to France to meet Queen Victoria. A thanksgiving service was celebrate 1 yesterday in honour of the fete-day of the Emperor Alexan der, at the Russian chapel in the Rue Neve de Berri, and was attended by all the staff of the em bassy, and by a good number of Russians of dis tinction now in Paris. The Constitutionnel, in place of leader, contains ! a long letter from a correspondent at Calcutta, who suggests the following remedies for the evils which beset that country : " The sending of a permanent force of 50,000 Euro• peaus, 10,000 of them being cavalry, similar to the gendarmerie of France ; the immediate development of railways and great roads, India, which is 18,000 miles long by 13,000 wide, having only had, during the last 100 years, 950 miles of carriageable roads ; the abolition of places held by natives ; and lastly, a municipal police well organised and respected. It is only on these con ditions, it seems to me, that India can be saved." A decree establishes a new village of " eighty-two hearths," in the plain of Chain', between Orleans ville and Miliana, in Ageria, as a new "centre of population." The Monitear publishes a decree making several promotions and appointments in the higher ranks of the magistracy. BOURSE, Sept.l2.—The following were the last quotations : Cash. ft.

Stone, has arrived with advices from New York to the 2d inst. and $53,000 in specie. • The Arabia passed the Royal mail steam-ship Asia, hence, going into New York, and on the Bth inst. at 4 p.m, passed the ship Salacia, bound west. The United States' mail steam-ship Atlantic, hence, arrived at New York on the 30th ult. The following despatch respecting the Atlantic cable had been received at the Navy Department from Captain Hudson, of the Niagara 6 ' United States' Steam Frigate Niagara, Plymouth, England, Aug. 14. "Sir,—l have the honour as well as the mortification to report the arrival of the Niagara at this port, after having run out 334 miles of the telegraphic cable, some portioniof it in a depth of over 3,050 fathoms, over more than two miles and a quarter, when it was broken by too much pressure on the break attached to the machi nery for paying it out. I have every reason to believe, from what we have thus far experienced in wire laying, that under ordinary circumstances of weather, and ma. chinery adapted to the purpose—for such as we have on board requires altering and improving—the cable may be hid in safety on the track marked out over tho At lantic Ocean. "At the time the cable parted—Aug. 11, 3 . 45 a.m. —the ship was going along four knots, and had been running at the rate of from three to four knobs through the night, with some motion from a moderate head sea, and the company's chief engineer and men attending their breaks to lessen the expenditure of cable, until they finally carried it away, which made all hands of us through the day like a household or family which had lost their dearest friend, for officers and men had become deeply interested in the success of the enterprise. " Mr. Fleid left the ship soon after the accident oc curred in Her Britannic Majesty's steam brig Cyclops, for Valentia Bay, Ireland, requesting that the Niagara, Susquehanna, and Agamemnon should proceed to this place, after makinc , certain experiments with the wire and machinery is deep water. The Leopard proceeded at once to Spithead. " Whether the company intend to supply additional cable and try it again this season, or defer it until next season, lam as yet unadvised. If the latter, the wire will have to be taken out of the ship and rotarred, to save it from the effects of rust. I presume a lea , days will solve their present difficulties, as to further action ; and if the effort is not to be renewed at this late season of the yvar I shall require further instructions to govern my future proceedings with this ship. "Your obedient servant, "Wm, L. HUDSON, Captain. "Hon. I. Toucey, Secretary of the Navy." It is stated that this letter was accompanied by one from Mr. Charles T. Bright, engineer to to the Atlantic Telegraph Company, speaking in the highest terms of Capt. Hudson arid all ou board, and concluding by saying— "I feel it my duty, before reavrng the Niagara, to state that I do not consider the fracture of the cable to be in the least degree attached to any one connected with the ship. On the contrary, P must take this op portunity of expressing on the part of the corn.• pany, the groat obligation we are under to the officers, and yourself and men ; and I will esteem it a favour if you will thank them on my behalf for the never-failing zeal and attention which have so universally been dis played in our cause." It is asserted that a trial of speed was made between the Niagara and Susquehanna and the Agamemnon on their return to port. and that the former parsed the latter easily. The " race" is thus described in the Washington Star : " We had something of a race to-day, and a good deal of excitement for a while. The Agamemnon and the Niagara have each large fenders or yards over their propellers. The former has a load of about 1,500 tons, and we now about 1,150, both load and guard not much of an assistance in a race, and besides I was a little afraid of the Agamemnon, as every one declares in England that she can steam 11 or 12 knots easily, and I thought certainly the Susquehanna would lead us badly. In this trim we are. So, with all these reasons, I managed to keep a little back than otherwise. Tnis morning at 9 the Susquehanna was about two miles a-head, and we were just abeam of the Agamemnon. Captain Sands signalised, am going to Plymouth,' as much as to say, I can't wait for such slow coaches. I asked Captain Hudson t 3 let us try and go to Plymouth also. Each ship's smoke-pipes told the story of hard firing at once. The sea was smooth, and the wind light after us, smoke just up and down when at full speed. At 5 p.m. the relative positions were nearly as follows :—The Agamemnon was more than hull down astern. We could just see her smoke, and the Susquehanna was about seven or eight miles astern. As Captain Lludson wanted to keep company with the Agamemnon, we stopped and waited for her. The Niagara's speed was 12 knots in the contest. EPORTING NCiTET THE DOINGS AT DONCASTER. Before I direct attention to the Doncaster pro. gramme, I have a long score of gossip to settle. The little fracas at Warwick has excited considerable amusement, and people applaud the captain for the summary manner in which ho silence I a talkative old man. But after all, the remarks which were dropped might have been treated w;th contempt , and a kick would have best suited an ars, who is perhaps the veritable "Vicar" of Bray. The Sporting Review has not scrupled to publish a certain transaction betiieen two jockeys ; and I, therefore, have no hesitation in referring to it. money matter will have to be settled before recent lucky jockey will be allowed to go to sole at Doncaster—a jockey who has had more than his share of fortune this year. The case was well vestigated before the Stewards at Goodwood, iv° expressed their opinion in no measured terms. The matter will, I trust, be amicably arranged, an d that good understanding, which ought and does exist amongst jockeys, will be undisturbed. It was unfortunate for Little Daley that the " rapid act of horsemanship " which he performe d at Beccles, was not witnessed by a more distill' guished audience. His courage and presence-o f mind, however, will doubtless be well bruited abroad. He is a child of about eleven years old, and to perform the following feat seldom falls to th e lot of children of a larger growth :—.Little Daley was riding Pomona.. In the second heat, just as he reached the distance, and was about to call upon his mare, his saddle slipped from under him, turned round, and hung under the mare's belly. Wi l l wonderful presence of mind little Dal e y disengage' his feet from the stirrup irons, and clutching tit, e heavy saddle cloth to prevent it from falling, rod" the mare home and landed her the winner 1 3 3 7 length. Of course he had little or no control over her, and on attempting to stop her afte r passing the post, she bolted with him, leaped th e rails, and then the lad fell off. Ho, however,' quickly scrambled up again, and went to sc a le and weighed in " all right," amidst the cheers of the spectators and the congratulations of his friends. The above is nearly the only interesting inciden t that can bo picked out of last wQek's racing. The work done by old Fisherman, however, must not be unrecorded. On Tuesday he ran at Lichfield; on Wednesday at Derby, and on Thursday at WO' mouth ! By the way, papers that derive their in formation " second-hand" have given currenCY to the absurd story which was inserted in a maga; zine about the sale of Fisherman. The horse is Il e the property of any nobleman. He was bought 3 short time ago by Mr. Starkey for stud purpose s ' Mr. T. Parr having the sole management and oil trol of the horse until the end of the present sow n ,: By the way, Fisherman has been a lu c ky horse b' Mr. Parr, who bought him at the Liverpool Jul, Meeting, 1855, for 5001., a few days after he h ad sold the Coroner for 1,4001. Mr. Parr then er pressed his opinion that he liad bought a h o r s e twice as good as Coroner, and the correctness of b is n judgment has been proved, for Cor o ner has bee n added to the list of geldings, and seems to be 11 1 less for racing purposes, while Fisherman is at t 'a sound and well, has been re-sold for 1,5001., ae has an honourable retirement in store. Tennyson—and there are racing men who do ne t ask what he's in and his weight—somewhere writes as under— " With the time we play'd ; We spoke of other things, we coursed about The subject mo-t at heart, more near and near, Like doves about a dovecote, wheeling round The central wish, until we settled there " These lines, perhaps, aptly describe my pred i° !: merit. I desire lo criticise the programme P t - o . ' pared by Mr. Johnson, and scarcely know how a set about my task. People are already ac quaiet ° 4 with its most prominent features, and the real or supposed merit of the oompetitors have beell, s ding-dong'd into their ears that I really think they would find it a relief if they could take up a PaP h e e r with no notice of the meeting in it:at all. Still t° l , l gathering will present sufficient attractions to d ra a sportsmen from the moors and stubble fields ; ° ll / 4 perhaps in Yorkshire the encounter between 1 31111 0 Bonny and Ignoramus excites more interest t ha d did the memorable meeting between Voltigeur al!, l' The Flying Dutchman. What a rare sight it wou t l o be if the present proprietors of those horses wero,,, let them parade over the course where their " stoc' had recently achieved so many triumphs. Relapse has become a great favourite for the Handicap. Prior to the Goodwood meeting 11 . was tried, and found wanting,. and despite the for e : with which he has been brought into the mark t ) ; for both the York event and the Cesarewiteh, shall not place confidence in him. TasmaDia, General Bosquet, Lawn, and 1 1 ° 13 ; goblin, seem to me to be as noteworthy as anythini, on paper, and I shall expect the first mentioned t " pull through. Eclipse will have his work to do 1 ‘; cut down Sister to Ellington and Lord of Lora for the Champagne Stakes. My advices from Doncaster inform me that thet ground is in parts deep and holding. I therefore, most reluctantly record my Ic a , ll / of confidence in the two favourites. Blink B olll ' l 6 may or may not be a " flyer," and Ignoramus 1 ' a monster of a horse that will perhaps have a go, turn over heavy ground. Outsiders have for tlir years carried off the St. Leger, and I shall be al t f e nished if the sporting journalists do not chroni c ° a similar little thought of achievement. I hav e ,, frequently discussed the merits of the two favour":! i that no purpose would be served by my again g f a ; i ' through the catalogue of their "virtues." e prepared to see an " outsider" win, and the tilt; animals whom I deem the most formidable are parieuse, Adamas, and Sir Colin.

ATTENDANCE OF METROPOLITAN MEMBERS. —The Re form Asiociation in Cannon-btreet keeps a register of the attendance of members of the House of Commons, extracted from which we have lately reeen'a little table showing the number of divisions during the last session, or the first of the present Parliament, and the presence or absence on each occasion of the 18 representatives of the metropolitan constituencies. A glance at tho table shows how deceptive as an index to a member's; efficiency and usefulness is the frequency of his attendances er the number of his votes. The best metropolitan member by the test of attendance is Mr. Co; of Finsbury ; ti • worst, Sir De Lacy Evans, of Westminster. Mr. C x's number is 119, while Sir De Lacy Bvans's is only 25. Next to Mr. Cox in eminence, determined in the same way, stands Mr. Ayrton, of the Tower Hamlets, whose attendance reached to 114, while those of such a man as Lord Ebrington figure no higher than 29. Mr. W:1- liams, of Lsnabeth, attended at 105 divisions. Lord J. Russell gets credit for only 38. We do not say that attendance is an element by any means to be neglected in estimating a representative's value ; we mean only to observe what a fallacious criterion it is, taken by itself, unconnected with the more important points to b e weighed before a man is pronounced a good or a bad 'member of Parliament. Men of the first mark and value to the public may possibly not be as often in their places as it might bo desirable that they should be ; but it is no less certain that a w an ma y be as r egular in his at.- tendauce as the Speake r himself, without having any other merit or reoommendation.—R4finino, "r ADAMAS OR IMPERIEUSE.
