The anxiously looked for telegraphic intelli gence, in anticipation of the Overland Mail froth 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 satisfactory, and fully as good as could have been anticipated. Indeed, in some respects, so far as the previously disturbed districts are concerned, it is better 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 rne'ationed, 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 Df July, taking nearly all their guns. He f xpeeted 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 daYfi—the 29th and 30th July—and it must have Lean very decisive, for not only were nearly all tne guns taken, but Ila.vEeoes: felt himself justi -I°cl in marching to the relief of Lucknow, which he expected to reach the following day, viz., the 31s t July, and he would have scarcely taken such 'tnl), while Nana Sahib remained with any consi derable force in his rear, capable of again attack ing Cawnp ore , or marching upon Agra, where more than 5000 fugitives had sought shelter and protection. The safety of Lucknow appears to be ensured b y this success. With Havelock'e triumphant army moving onward, it is imp-I,Na a suppose that the rebels would persevere in their attacks on the devoted garrison. Those who so bravely de fowled their position, hoping almost against h ope, and submitting to the greatest privation, w i l l receive the just reward of their fortitude and ee dureace. Tney were not discouraged even by the • d oath of their renowned and revered leader, Sir }I. Lowrance. The failure of provisions was the only 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 Eeropeans re mained in the fort well able to hold out, but anxi ously awaiting relief." This they will unquestion- St z 14i ki 11 I kJ, 3 rk.:7" 1 - A • ably obtain from General Havelock, who, when he 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 strengthened 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 reasonably 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 terrible pressure 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 immediate 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 CoLIN CAMPBELL, who will be enabled to 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 MelloLsoN, and we now hear of their total destruction at Goodahpore, by the same gallant officer. The sword of justice has fallen promptly and energetically on these wretches. We also hear that Colonel STEWART'S column had reached Indore, 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 wore 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 marching 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 August. 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 sole 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 the moderate remuneration of the exclusive possession of some three 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 stridtly scrutinised before it can be admitted. We must first ascertain whether the rule of tLe Company is S 3 very beneficial to the Aborigines and if so, whether similar results may not be ot 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, or nearly 100 square miles, or 64,000 acres, for au average family. Now, that quantity of ground would, oven taking into consideration the pecaliar quali• ties of soil and climate, support a far greater number, and without in any degree disregarding the interests of the natives, wo may fairly enquire least equal from wheth er th e A ng l o -S axon race , w ho are practically eX claims the on o o r advantages,consideration. have not Lt It is said that the natives have always receded before the footstep of the white man—that they cannot co-exist in the same territory with men of far superior energy and industry. This, to a certain extent, may be trap, but should we on that account permit a large portion of the Ne w World to remain uncivilised and unimproved ? Should the fairest districts be surrendered to the exclusive use of the aboriginals and a few mono polists, who may contrive to enter into trading relations with them ? We may in this instance certainly refer to the axiom that "charity begins at home," and we must not prohibit the enterprise of our own brethren from any vague apprehen sions that the Red Man 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 we must regard the full development of the natural capabilities of the country as of paramount importance. The greatest goccl 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 regtila tions that have been establishc 3, 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 sell 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 are 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 to 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 none 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 possibirty 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 unwi"ing to legislate on this interest ing topic. THE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE.—Hie 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 Yester House, Haddingtonshire, on a visit to the Marquis and Mar chion3ss of Tweddale. At the close of her ♦isit 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 Jerveaux Abbey, Yorkshire, surrounded by a circle of friend'. 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 have 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 relievethe 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. taining, during the past week, at Drummond Castle, Perthshire, the Earl and Countess of Derby and Lady Emma Stanley, the Countess of Jersey and Lady Cle mentina Villiers, the Hon. Gilbert Heathcote, &e. 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 Excellencythe 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 Si. 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 name of Mr. John Frost, the chartist, and ex-Mayor of Newport, appears on tEe Town-hall door, as c:aitning to be restored to the list of freemen for the borough. _ INDIAN RELIEF FIIND.—At Hull on Friday, and at Carlisle on Thursday, public meetings convened by the chief magistrates of there 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 the same site, but extends over a much larger area, occupying 59,000 square feet. It will be vaulted throughout, and rendered a 3 far as possible fire-proof. The stables, to accommodate 270 horses, will be built apart from the goods warehou-es, 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. Glaisher states, in the Journal of the Royal Agricultural Society, that the price of potatoes in tie second quarter of the present year was GO per ceLt. higher in London than in the spring quarter of 1856. What will the price be next spring ? It is too soon to offer any decided opinion upon 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 so many places, and are E-o consistent with our personal knowledge, that we begin to fear something like a return of 1846. The dramatic season at the Surrey Theatre commencis 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 Christy's Minstrels' entertainment between the pieces. SEATS IN THE PARKS, —Why do the authorities insist on iron seats ? Iron supporta and framework are very well ; but iron being very susceptible of atmospheric in fluences, is surely the last material in the world for a sert ! —Tire Builder. Miss Florence Nightingale is now staying at Malvern, and i, under bydropathic treatment. A NEW CANDIDATE FOR GREENWICILL—Mr. Wakley, coroner for Middlesex, and formerly n ember for the I Borough of Finsbury, will, it is stated, cont est the re presentation of this borough at the next vaca nc y . SIR G. PECIIELL—There is a rumour current through I Brighton that Sir George is about to accept office as a • Lord of the Admiralty, in place of Admiral Berkeley, who lost hie seat in rarliainent at the recta election, HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE, —The most interesting feature in the lyrical entertainments for the present week will be the re-opening of her Majesty's Theatre, on Friday evening, for Italian operatic performances, at reduced prices, with Piecolomini, Spezzia, Giuglini, and the other popular artistes, who have been recently 'performing in the provinces. T. THEATRE ROYAL, DRIIIIY-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 Overreact,. 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. The comedy of "The Viatims" will be given every evening as second piece. The veteran T. P. Cooke will appear this evening and during the week at the A delphi, in the nautical drama of "The Pilot ;" it will be preceded, every evening, by the farce of " Urgent Private Affairs," and followed by " My Precious Betsy." LYCEUM.--ENGLISH OPERA.—The opera performances wi'l commence on Monday, the .21st inst. In addition to Miss Louisa Pyne and Mr. W. Harrison, who will make their first appearance since their return from the United States, we find the names of Madame Caradori, Miss Corelli, Susan Pyne, Mrs. H. Manley, Mr. Augus tus Braham, Mr. Hamilton Brabant), Mr. Weiss, Mr. St. Aubyn, Mr. Ferdinand Glover, and other artists of repute, The musical directorship is confided to Mr. Alfred Mellon. _ 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 long and somewhat sudden jmirney 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 ;:robably lead to legal proceedings. CLOSE OF THE ART TREASURES EXHIBITION.—The Committee of the Art Treasures Exhibiti m 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. THE RIOTS IN 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 commission opens to-day. The accounts from the South of Runia'represent the harvest round the Sea of Azoff *as wonderful, and that BLrdiansk 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'Carthy, 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. TUE WEATHER AND CROPS IN SCOTLAND.—Host un seasonable weather for cutting and gathering in the crops of Scotland now prevails, and great fears are en terta'ned 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 be estimated at one-third ; but as the potatoes are a very heavy crop this seasor, the total quantity saved will, after all, be little short of an average crop." We (Irerapallt) have heard, but hope it is not true, that a new cause of- dissersion has sprung up between the London and North-Western and Great Western companies, arising, it is ss.id, out of one of the companies &patting, 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 or SALMON.—During several days in the beginning of last week, the river Doon, near its mouth, was almoit 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.—Ayr Advertiser. TWEED SALMON FISHING.—The fishing has been rather unproductive so far as the lower fisberiel 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 pass upward, and there were a few got in the Coldstream district on Monday and Tuesday. The flood on Wednes day brought away a good many fish. We he. - Erd of a water near Hornoliff where nearly 50 salmon were taken. and all the middle had more or les , . The condition of the fish is upon the whole good.—Berwick, Advertiser. DUNBAR FIERRING FISHING, Sept. 10.—Above 100 boats entered the harbours this morning, ell having fisb, and generally of excellent quality ; the highest boat was over 20 crane, and a great many from 10 to 15 crane. Prices ; The best qualities ranged from 303. to 34e. 63. per cran ; some boats having mixed herring sold from 21s. to 28s. per cran. The fishing as yet has been all on the float and at the mouth of the FLU], where the herring are evidently making for the spawning grounds ; ' and, it the weather keep good, great quantities are likely tt be got when the graund fisbii.g begins. There was no fishing yesterday owing to the baieterous weather. DEATH Os' A CHARACTER.—Mr. Robert Flockhart, the well-known street preacher, died on Tuesday morning, in his 80th year. In season and oat of season—on Sun days and on weak-days, and in every variety of weather —his bent, little figure was se:doar 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. Keying served in the army, ho used to sustain the interest of his hearers and illustrate his appeals by graphic tales of his adventures by flood and 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 tw o they carry thre e gun s.

INSTABILITY OF FORTUNE. —Mr. Beeston, a timber merchant of Bristol, some years ago, retired oe a for tune of nearly 4,0001. a year, the proceeds of a landed estate which he had bought in Herefordshire. Unfortu nately for Mr. Beestee, he did not spend all his income, and wanting more money, he put a few thousands into the firm of Brufnrd, Dyer and Co., a mercantile house, by which he became a sleeping partner, though his name did not appear before the public. The week before last this firm broke, Mr. Beeston 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 FOR EMIGRATION TO VICTORIA.— The Government had laid on the table of the Legisla tive Council the amended Emigration Bill. 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 existing immigra tion arrangement substantially untouched, and proposes simply to substitute a new selecting machinery in Eng land for the present commissioners. With this object it authorises the appointment of " an agent in the United Kingdom," and sub-agents or their officers, " not ex ceeding three in number." The functions of the agent are to bo confined strictly to the "superintendence of emigration to Victoria," the selection or approval of suitable persons, and the chartering of ships.—Australian and Nem Zealand Gazette. THE MOORS AND FOREET3.—Grouse shooting has almost ceased except on tie low grounds. Wherever they have had it in their power, 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 Levet, and the Hon. U. Fraser, the Earl.of Seafield, the Hon. Colonel Char teris, and Mr. Lindsay, brought down no les* than .17 stags and 4 hinds last week, and 12 stags the week be fore. We. have heard it reported that, on the 23th of August, Lady Meux brought down a deer to her own gun, and shot from the shoulder at a distance of eighty yards. The stags aro in high condition at Stia'shvaich 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 encou raged.—lnverne,s Courier. SEIZURE OF CORPORATION EFFECTS FOR DOUBLE INCO3IE TAX.—TYNEMOUTD, Sept. 12.—The collectors Of income tax for the Tynemouth in dietri6; 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. Biiggs, 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 ; hot the corporation has already given notice that they intend to proceed agaicet 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 are many parties in the borough who refuse to pay the re-asses•sment, ai:d as the collectors have received instructions to seize upon all defaulters, more distraints are expected to be made in a few days. CATTLE FROM THE NORTH OF EUROPE,—Tho gross imports of cattle into Lowestoft, harbour last week horn Hustles, Frederickstadt, and 'running (Duchy of Schles wig) amounted to 4,024 beasts and 1 , 298 oxen. The North of Europe Steam Navigation Company's steamer, he City of Norwich, Captain Oliver, and the Tanning, Captain Russell, arrived on Friday ; and the Cumbir land, Captain Rivers, followed on Saturday. The Cuin berland brought 221 beasts and22o sheep, and the other vessels having equally lsrge cargoes, the stock was despatched to town in five special trains, as they bad been tonsigned as usual to metropolitan Arms. A tele graphic message received on Saturday from Lowestoft states that a fourth steamer, the Royal Victoria, Capt. Rose, was also expected to arrive in time to enable her cargo to be despatched to the metropolitan market. It is probable, therefore, that the tota l arrivals will be as heavy al last week. The importations will continue for about six w &Ica or longer, but they will be suspended during the winter mouths. .c? rit 9 4, _l_ 's_ :Li , 1.157 LATEST 'NE W . a long letter from correspondent at Calcutta, who suggests the following remedies for the evils which beset that country : • " The rending of a permanent force of 50,000 Euro peans, 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 wed organised and respected.

Stone, has arrived with advices from Now York to the 2d inst. and $53,000 iu specie. The Arabia passed the Royal mail steam-ship Asia, hence, going into New York, agd 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 despat3h respecting the Atlantic cable had been received at the Navy Department from Captain Hudson, of the Niagara : " United States' Steam Frigate Niagara, Plymouth, England, Aug. 14. _ " Sir,—l have the honour as well as the mortlfica:lon to report the arrival of the Niagara at this poi aLer having run ont 334 miles of the telegraphic cable, some portions of 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 %ire laying, that under ordinary circumstances of weather, and ma• chinery adaptcd to the purpose—for such as we have on board requires altering and improving—the cable may be hid iu safety on the track marked out over the At. lactic 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 Irom three to four knots through the night, with some mot:on 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 Elio 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. Yeid left the ship soon after the accident oc• curred in Her Britannic Majesty's steam brig Cyclor,i, for Valentia Bay, Ireland, requesting that the Niagara, Susquehanna, and Agamemnon should proceed to this place, after making cezts.in experiments with the wire and machinery in deep water. The Leopard proceeded at once to Spithead. " Whether the company intend to supply athlitional 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 retarred, to save it from the effects of rust. I presume a few 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 year I shall require further instructions to govern my future proceedings with this ship. " Your obedient servant, " WM. L. limisoN,Captain. "Hon. I. Toucey, Secretary of the Navy." It is stated that this letter was accompanied by ona from Mr. Charles T. Bright, engineer to to the Atlantic Telegraph Company, speaking in the highest terms of Capt. Hudson and all on board, and concluding by saying— " I feel it my duty, before leaving 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, I must take this op- portunity of expressing on the part of the com• pany, the great 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-railing zeal and a%tention which have so universally been dis played in our cause." It is asserted that a trial of spool 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 lerge 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. This morning at 9 the Susquehanna was about two miles a-head, and we were just abeam of the Agamemnon. Captain Sands signalised, lam going to Plymouth,' as much as to say, I can't wait for such slow coaches. I asked Captain Hudson to let us try and go to Plymouth also. Each ship's smoke-pipes told the story of hard 5-ing at once. The sea Wel smooth, and the wind light after us, smoke just up and down when at lull speed. At 5 p.m. the relative positions were neaely as follows :—The Agamemnon was more than hull down astern. We could just see he- smoke, and the Susquehanna was about seven or eight miles astern. As Captain Hudson want I to keep company with the Agamemnon, we stopped and waited for her. The Niagara's speed was 12 knots in the contest. THE MUTINIES IN INDIA.

The French Government has received a telegra phic despatch from Jassy announcing that the Mol davian elections, which bad 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.

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 can 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 lo England, and in a few days the engineers of the ccmpany were to proceed to Kustendjie and take advantage of the present low state of the river to commence some ( d' 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, &c., to be taken at a valuation. The company is authorised to cons!ruct a port as Kustendjie ac cording to p!acs to be submitted to the Turkish Governmeet. The p7,rt and the railway are to be completed in five years. The company was bound to deposit a sum of 6,000/. sterling, which condition Las keen complied with. If in nine months from the delivery of the firrrian the works are not coin-, menced, the concession will f e null and void." FRANCE. PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING.

A glance at the table shows bow deceptive as an index to a member's effici ,ncy and usefulness is the frequency of his attendances cr the number of his votes. The best metropolitan member by the test of attendance is Mr. Cox, of Finsbury ; tl o worst, Sir De Lacy Evans, of Wfstmioster. Mr. C.,x's number is 119, while Sir De Lacy Evans'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 Ebringtou figure no higher than 29. Mr. Wit. limns, of Lambeth, 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, u nconnec ted with the more important points to be 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 be desirable that they should be ; but it is no less certain that a man may be as regular in his at tendance as the Speaker himself, without having any other merit or recommendation,--,Exornincr. 520ATING 01.21;i. THE DOINGS AT DONCASTER,. Before I direct a'Aention to the Doncaster pro' gramme, I have a long score of gossip to settle.

But after all, the remarks which were dropped might have been treated with contemp t ' and a kick would have best suited an ass, who i 4 perhaps the veritable "Vicar" of Bray. The Sporting Review has not scrupled to publish a certain transaction between 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 sea l° at Doncaster—a jockey who has had more than hie share of fortune this year. The case was well ill' vestigated before the Stewards at Goodwood, wi l° expressed their opinion in no measured terms. Tl ie l matter will, I trust, be amicably arranged, a nd that good understanding, which ought and dn es exist amongst jockeys, will be undisturbed.
