GLOBE. HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT. AMPUTATION OF TWO LEGS PREVENTED. Extract of a Letter dated Roscommon, February 19th, 1847, from the highly-respectable Proprietor of the Roscommon Journal. Sir,—Mr. Ryan, the well-known proprietor of the hotel next door to me, had two very bad legs, one with eight ulcers on it,, the other with three, they were in such a fearful state that the effluvia froni them was very great. Some time since he made a journey to Dublin .for the purpose of consulting some of the most eminent professional men, but returned home to his fa mily with the choice of either one of two alternatives—to have both legs amputated, or die!—()n his way home he met a gen tleman in the coach.who recommended the use .of Holloway's Pills and Ointment, which he'had recourse to, and was per fectly cured by their means alone. (Signed) CHARLES TULLY, Editor and Proprietor of the Roscommon Journal. To Professor Holloway. A CURE OF A DREADFUL AND DANGEROUS CASE OF ERYSIPELAS. • In the following remarkable case the lady had been both deaf and dumb from theNirulence• of the complaint. • February-19th, 1847. Mrs. Gibbons, of Tivoli-place. Cheltenham, was for two years so dreadfully afflicted with !Erysipelas that she became (how . ever extraordinary it may appear) both blind and deaf, from • the severity of the disease, and during the whole of the time she was attended by several of the most eminent medical men in . Cheltenham, without receiving any!benefit whatever, and, as a • last resource, she tried Holloway's Pills and Ointment, which in two months perfectly cured the dreadful complaint, and like wise restored her to health. Il Mrs. Stoyle, the very respectable landlady of the New market Inn, Cheltenham, can bear witness to this cure. It can .also be .au thenticated.at . the Stationers, 'No. 10, Arcade, High street, Cheltenham. In all Diseases of the Skin,- Bad Legs, Old Wounds And Ul cers, Bad Breasts, Sore Nipples, Stoney and Ulcerated Cancers, • Tumours,43wellings, Gout, It henniatism, and Lumbago, likewise in cases of Piles ; Holloway's Pills ' in all the above cases, ought to be used-with the Ointment ; ashy this means cures will be effected with a much greatercertainty, and in half the time that it would require by using. the Ointment alone. The Ointment is proved to be a certain remedy for the bite of Moscbettoes, • isioid-Ilies; Chiegofoot, Yaws, and - Coco bay, and all Skin Dis eases common to the East and-West Indies, and other tropical Climates. Burns, • Scalds, Chilblains, Chapped Hands and Lips, also ,Bunions and Soft Corns, will be imsuediately cured by the use ~of the Ointment.

There has been . no bishop c onsecrate d i n Spain for nearly fifteen years, so that more than one-third of the sees are Paw vacant. 'We observe that a . concordat has at len g th been entered into between the - government and the pope, by virtue of which thirty bishops are now to be appointed : we trust it may be the means of re-esta blishing a butter state of things than at present exists. The estimation in Which the clerical profession is now held may be judged of by two or three significant facts (we speak from observation). First, it is a comparatively rare thing . to see a !/Dung priest ; -2ndly, , in the southern towns of Pain, the clergy seldom appear in the streets in their elk:I:cal dress it begins to grow dark ; at least, we have seen therm : begging, even of foreigners, in the sitreets.7 &witat any rate, is the ease, in Catalonia and Andalusia, and we have reason to believe it is not differ ent elsewhere.—Church of 4:viand AlTiazine. TOE LIMPOOt STANDARD. THE POWER OF RUSSIA OVER GREAT BRITAIN. The Russian system of banking is remarkable. That country, which has lately become one of the greatest gold producers of the world, employs for its own internal use a paper circulation, but the basis upon which that circulation rests, is commonly reported to be a sum of from thirty to forty thousand millions in gold, lodged in the hands and at the disposal of the Emperor. This large amount. of bullion had hitherto remained unemployed, but Nicholas, observing that the French funds had, like our own, very much declined, and that bullion was the great desideratum in both countries, determined, with much apparent gene rosity, to step in to their rescue. No one save the Czar had any control over the keys which could open this hid den hoard,. and with a discernment which does credit to his abilities, he set at liberty "the imprisoned angels," and in return for his unprofitable gold, purchased at most advantageous rates, a deep interest i" the national securi ties of England and of France. The immediate result of that measure is a large accretion of revenue to the Empe ror, who is now one of our chief creditors. for whom the manufacturer is bound to toil: the ultimate tendency is yet in the womb of time, but no thinking man will con template without alarm the power. which so gigantic and ambitious a state as Russia has thereby gained within the very fortress of our strength. If we continue in a blind and obstinate adherence to the system of the bullionist party, we shall give the Russian government such oppor tunities of enriching itself at our expense as no fore ign po tentate has ever pos',essed before. It is quite well known that large purchases of national stock have alr e ady been made with the gold of the Muscovite ; and therein theau toerat has acted wisely for himself—far more wisely than .our enlightened rulers have thowl.ht proper to act for us— for he has put out the money to usury, and the basis ofthe Russian circulation, instead of being profitless gold, is now composed of British and French securities, bought in when the market was a tits lowest ebb, and yielding a large return. If our monetary laws shoal still remain unaltered, and trade should notwithstanding revive, it will be the interest of th e Russ ian, so sloe as the funds have reached their culmmatme point, •to sell out largely, and by forcing the gold from the Bank of England, create an artificial scarcity of the precious metal, which, followed as it must be by an immediate contraction of our paper cur rency. mould cause a second panic. and a second prostra tion of the funds. By buying cheap and selling high—the favourite maxim of the free-traders—lie would thus realise, an exorbitant pront, and be enabled, should he choose it, to replace the b i llion basis of the Russian circulation. But this, as a matter of course, he would not do. The low state of the funds would again offer an irresistible temptation. Fresh 'purchases of stock, this dine made with our own money, would revive public confidence in Britain, and so things would go on, alternately rising and lallint! without any obvious external cause, but in reality according to the will of a huge foreign landholder, who, 'with each successive movement, must be the gainer, whilst we deny ourselves the means of securing the equilibrium of our own monetary transactions at home. Under our present system, the sale or purchase of national Securities to the extent of a few millions, has a wonderful effect upon the market. Add the further elements of gold exportation and paper contraction, or the reverse, and the effect be comes prodigious. The purchases already made on the Emperor's account, are reported to have been most heavy, and the process at the moment when we write, is being again repeated. This - is, in real i ty, a subject of the gra vest nature, and it shouid not be , p l issed over by the legis lature without remark. The IN togs, i n all probability, hail such successive importation of Russian bullion, as so many pledges of returning prosperity, not seeing nor un derstanding the frightful price which we may hereafter be called , upon to pay, nor. the perils of that artificial fluctua tion to Which we may be exposed. We have put our selves, as the exper ence of the last few months has shown, at the mercy of gold, and consequently at the mercy of any foreign power who can supply us with that coveted commodity ; and so we must remain, if the plain sense of - the nation does not rouse itself to sweep away the formula of our currency nraetitioner..— Blackwood. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, DEC. 4.—The brokers' officers have been but indifferently supplied with samples this week suitable for either grocery or refining purposes ; and though we cannot quote any positive decline, the market closes heavily. The demand for rum has been active, .and about 300 puncheons, principally Jamaica. have been sold at fully former rates. The imports for 'the week have been 112 hogsheads, 3 tierces, and 100 bags of sugar. A QUEER ARTICLE CF MERCHANDISE..—WiII any gentleman, acquainted with the West Indian markets, inform us of the meaning of the following paragraph, which we find amongst the " Market Intelligence" in the last Jamaica Despatch ?—" ALEWIVES—Are scarce, and in good demand. The last parcel was disposed of at 255. per barrel." We imagined at first that, taking the word in its ordinary acceptation, the emancipated Huggers of Jamaica had left off rum drinking and taken to beer in these hard times ; and that consequently " Alewives," of which we have a superabundance in this country, were in demand, and might be exported with advantage. The last sentence however put us all abroad ; for although " Alewives" have a very natural connexion with barrels, we never heard of their being " disposed of" at " per barrel," notwithstanding their liability, in common with other fallible human beings, to be disposed of by -the strength of their contents. THE INFLUENZA IN SCOTLAND.—In the north of Scotland an epidemic of a most unprecedented and re markable character has, we are sorry to say, prevailed during the last two or three weeks. It began in Dundee, and then swept over the whole of the east coast until it reached the extreme point of Kinnaird's head, when it took a westerly direction, and is now extending along the shores of the Murray Frith, and inland through the lower districts in the direction of Huntley, Keith, Elgin, to Inverness. It affects the system first by pain in the throat; then follow headache, sickness. with expectora tion of a dark bilious-looking substance, and general debility all over the body. In the city of Aberdeen to such an extent did this epidemic prevail last week, that for one or two days University and King's College —now in session—was closed; at Mariscbal College and Univer sity half the students were ill; at the Grammar School the same proportion were afflicted. At Gordon's Hospi •tal, out of 150 boys, 55 were confined to their beds. The West.end Academy had to be shut up for F. few days ; and amongst those who are able to attend the schools there was nothing to be heard but the incessant cough, as if the pupils were breathing a pestilential atmosphere. On Sunday the churches and chapels were half empty, and so general had the epidemic become among the clergy, that supplies for several of the pulpits had to be gOt from Edinburgh and other places in the south. At Montrose the epidemic has been equally alarming. One school was short 65 scholars; another 60 ; a third 50 ; and so on ; the total deficiency in all the schools being 810 scholars. Some of the public works have been stopped for want of bands, and it may be said that in every family in these districts some one is ill. The weather, which had been damp and rainy,•was considered to be the principal cause of tha disease. We are glad to hear that very few deaths have occurred. ' According :to Punch, many enthusiasts, who, in the year forty-five, were prepared to throw a viaduct across the world, are now scarcely able to construct a bridge to carry them safely over their last week's washing-hill. RED AND PALE ANGER.—The first is of a violent and explosive nature: it generally affects the sanguineous. The circulation of the blood is accelerated, tho breathing is difficult and panting, the features flushed, the swain veins are visibly enlarged under the integuments, the eyes flash fire and become injected with blood, the lips, con tracted, expose the teeth, the voice becomes hoarse, the hearing difficult, foam will occasionally issue from the mouth ; in short, the features assume the character of mania, arising evidently from a congestion of blood on the brain ; and under the violence of the paroxysm the angry man will know no restraint, and is indeed, for the time being, a maniac, indiscriminate in his fury, and perfectly - a F n r a c e n e t o w l o b l b e e . n g S v u i e o h le:i w i ja ly s i t n he cen c s a ed se a o g f ai C n r t l h e e s D V u I k . , e o o f f T a r u e i t d a g n n t a h n e d burning reat wit a drink, h nor o spiri t rslt of ,ep f o rtna n a y n d d r a e v v , s e revenge, nights, anti at length beeline furiously mad ; as he was riding on horseback, drawing his sword and striking pro'- miscuously every one who approached him. In pale anger the liver, the digestive organs, are more engaged, and jaundice, inflammation of the liver, bilious affections are ushered in. In this anger the circulation is languid, the pulse small and irregular, the breathing short and op pressed, a cold perspiration oozes from every pore, the ieeth are locked or chattering, the eyes fixed and glassy, the features pale and contracted, a general tremor shakes the whole frame, and the individual sufferer, for such he is, appears overwhelmed by the exaltation of his passion : he can scarcely articulate a word, stammers his execra tions, and seems to seek for language sufficiently energetic anti bitter to express his wrath: His countenance is so altered by the violence of his emotions that ho is scarcely. recognizable.. _ WHAT EDUCATION Is.—NO school, however perfect its discipline, or admirable its machinery, as an eng i n e Of in tellectualdevelopment, can be an adequate substitute for a virtuous and well-ordered home. Now a little ceasi deration will show that this must be the case. When a teacher wishes to impress on the mind of his pupil a pOr tion of knowledge —a rule in arithmetic we shall say—he cm multiply examples, and in every variety of form ; he can add proof to precept, and heap illustration upon tration, until, at last. the mind of the learner yields :to their force, and becomes thoroughly penetrated by the principles in question. Let him now take a rule in morality—the duty of beneVolence suppose—he may rea son, he may advise, be may exhort; he may show that this virtue is inculcated by parable or by precept, in al most every page of the inspired writings of the apostles ; he may prove-that it is peculiarly evangelical virtue ; his hearers May cheerfully accord their intellectual assent to everything he asserts. But here his power ends. It is but seldom he can practically enforce his precept s , very seldom he can say, "go thou and do likewise." Schools ark in general more successful in their treatment of the are' but little a i i m n. p a or p t la an y e - e g , ro t u h n o h butdfact, by the way, though little head than of the heart.

The further reduction of the rate of interest by the Bank I of England to six per cent. having not more than ninety five days to run, and the apparently improved condition of that body, together with the fact of a continued influx of gold into the country, has acted favourably upon the market for public securities. Commercial failures, how ever," continue to occur; and public feeling is kept in a state of great anxiety, with respect to the effect in India of the news of the stoppage of the Indian houses in this country. The fact of bullion arriving here, moreover, is not so satisfactory, as to our permanently improved position, as it would have been, had it indicated a turn of the tide of national interchange in our favour. It is admitted, on the contrary. that a large amount of the gold received has been remitted, by parties by whom distrust is felt in the commercial paper offering, and who prefer incurring the expense and inconvenience of this bulky mode of transmitting payments to the risk of meddling with bills, of the solvency of whose drawers and acceptors they are not satisfied. The improved position of the sus pended banks in our town, as well as the relaxation by others of the recent stringency of discounts, has afforded a sensible relief to our commercial community. The Royal Bank resumed . business on the Ist, as announced ; and the directors thus tar have met with a large amount of the confidence of the public. The North and South Wales Bank purpose an early resumption, the deficiency in their available capital caused by the large outstanding debts of 1:60.000, owing by the Birkenhead Commissioners, and £30,000 advanc: d to some Welsh collieries, being intended to he made up by the issue at par of 10,059 pretereoce shares of £lO each, hearing interest at 7 per cent. A mseting of the shareho:dsrs was held on Wednesday, at which a very satisfactory statement was exhibited, by which the good assets were shewn to exceed the liabilities by £152,668. The affairs of the Liverpool Banking Com pany are also exhibiting an improving aspect. Our cotton market has declined since the arrival of the steamer; and prices may be quoted nearly -411 per lb. lower, leaving off very dull. The sales for the week have been 22,600 bales, of which 700 American and 100 surat were for exportation. The estimated stock in Liverpool is now 377,560 bales, as compared with 474,010 bales last year, leaving a deficiency of 96,450 bales. The.still de creased consumption however, amounting to upwards of 8000 hales weekly, together with the certainty of early large arrivals, which the manufacturing interest are not likely to be, for some to come, in a position to take off, promises for us shortly a largely increased stock of that raw material, which will have to be warehoused and held over until wanted for consumption. The following extract from the monthly circular of ArNair.'Greetiough, and Irvine, of Manchester, may be taken as a fair exponent of the position of affairs in that locality : ' " Though business here is necessarily very far indeed from being in a sati factory condition, it is peculiarly gra tifying to us to be enabled to communicate to you the existence of partial but decided improvement. in ordi nary times the extent of the improvement would scarcely have been perceptible, but following a protracted period of unexampled severity and prostration. it is naturally more felt and appreciated. " The operation upon the Bank Charter Act, and the recent reduction in the rate of interest, have contributed to produce this desirable change. The last movement of the Bank of England has been viewed very satisfactorily, not so much on account of the difference of one per cent. in the minimum rate of discount, but as a step ineicative of resuming confidence, and introductory to early and more substantial changes in the same direction. Money, at its present value, is incompatible with profitable mer cantile transactions, and must, while it lasts, continue to suspend undertakings admitting of delay. " Unhappily more failures—and some of them important ones—have taken place during the month ; a fact which has materially impeded the gradual progressof amendment. The market has become so extremely sensitive—to an ex tent hitherto unknown to us—that the mere existence of rumours, which would at other times have passed un heeded, produces, as it were, instantaneous alarm and fear. This, indeed, is no more than a necessary conse quence. ontidence has been fearfully shattered • and however desirous all may be to witness its thoroug h re storation; the period of its revival cannot assuredly be de termined until the consequences arising from the suspen sion of so many firms can have been ascertained, and the consciousness which very naturally prevails as to the cer taintyof additional disasters shall have been removed. " The demand for the country trade has been very limited. Even in ordinary years, November is never a month of much activity, but the transactions of the present indicates pretty conclusively that the effects of the times are becoming more visible in this branch of trade. The suspenSion of many undertakings, and the consequent withdrawal of the sums hitherto in circulation, for the payment. of wages, &c., combined with the smnty means of the operatives in the manufacturing districts, cannot but be severely felt. We are glad, however, to Perceive, that in this and some of the adjoining districts, there•has been a considerable increase in the production during the month. Several mills which had either stopped or were working short time, have returned to lull employment. Were it not for the sake of the operatives, any material increase at present in the production generally is not desirable. " Prices, though steadier and firmer than they were a month ago, are yet very irregular and determinable in many instances by the position of the seller. Stocks in the aggregate are much about the same as they were at the close of October." - The advices from India, per the overland mail, received on Saturday, were rather more favourable for the cotton manufacturer. The market for cotton piece goods had been steady since the previous advices ;* and although a large business bad been done, and no material advance in prices was to be noted, an advantage was secured to the exporter by the greatly improved rate of excl_ange for remitting. In bleached goods no change was noted; but in cotton yarn a large business was doing at better prices. There was no change, either, in woollens. Cotton for expori had gbien way in price, and a large business had been done for England. Some extensive contracts had been made for the ensuing new crop at 98r. per candy of 784 lbs., laid down in Bombay and delivera ble in March. Freights to Great Britain had been abundant, and prices had receded in consequence. The circular states that—" For Liverpool, engagements have been made at £5 15s. and £5 17s. fid. per ton, the former rate for an entire large vessel, and the latter for a small vessel. For London, £6 to £6 2s. 6d. has been given. The rates of the day are quoted £5 15s. to £6 for Liverpool, £6 to £6 2s. 6d. for London. For China we quote 19r. per candy, at which rate a country vessel has been put on the berth. The exchange at Bombay had taken a sudden rise from Is. 10,1 d., which was the rate at the departure of the pre vious mail, to Is. Did. for first class paper, being an increase of Id. per rupee, or about 4 2-sths per cent. The money market continued easy. The reports from our leading corn markets are this week rather contradictory. In Mark-lane, on Friday, the trade was dull, and prices barely maintained for the best samples. In Liverpool, on Friday, wheat was 2d. per bushel and flour 6d. per sack or barrel lower, except choice fresh 'Western Canal, which commanded nearly the rates of the previous Tuesday. At Wakefield we may quote prices Is per quarter lower, and at Birmingham dull at previous rates. - The markets on the Eastern Coast on the contrary were firmer (luring the week at advanced rat-s, ranging from Is. to 2s. 6d. per quarter. The news brought us from the United States by the steamer Washington, from New York on the 22d ultimo to Cowes, will probably increase the depression which prevails generally in the trade, the markets in America being reported as dull, at receding prices, and large stocks being expected to arrive at the ports, owing to the River and Canal Navigation being open. As to the extent of the cotton crop, some esti mates are carried as high as 2,500,000 bales. _ Although opinions differ widely on the progress of the currency debate in parliament, and on the intentions of ministers with regard to the Bank Act of 1844, there can be no doubt but that what has transpired has slightly influenced the price of Consols. Perhaps, on Friday, they did not rank so high in value as in the middle of the week, but they, nevertheless, then left off steady at 854 for Money, and 864- to ri for the Account. Exchequer Bills were decidedly better. Their quotation was 3s. to 6s. pm. On Saturday Consols opened at Kit for Money, and re mained flat, but at the close of the slay they maintained that price. There were not any large sales of Stock. Ex chequer Bills went back to 3s. premium. Bank Stock at 197, and the New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. at In the Foreign Stock Market there was a good demand for Mexican Bonds, at an 'advance to 184. The price at the close was 18 and 171 for Account. Soanisls Stock 29 for the New Three per Celits., and Dutch Two-and-a- Half per Cents. at 55: In the Railway Shares a fair amount of business was done, and prices remained wit:tout any alteration requiring especial remark.

The returns, however, must be left fer further observation hereafter. A correspondent sends us the gratifying intelligence that the deposits in the Royal Bank, which resumed busi ness on.

The crops of Egyptian produce taken in last April and May were rapidly coming dcwii to Alexandria from the Upper Country. They are generally short, and that of Wheat in particular was deficient. Prices were quite nominal, holders preferring to ship on their own account rather than submit to a reduction. There were, conse quently, very few transactions. In cotton nothing had been done for some time. The exchanges were looking up. London was quoted at 99/ piastres to the pound sterling; foreign coins, and sovereigns in particular, were in great request. Advices from Bahia. to the 23rd of October, have come to hand.' There was at that date a fair demand for manufactured goods, hut prices continued low. Little business had been transacted in sugars, which were quoted from 19s Id to 21s 9cl, for white, and 15s 6d to 16s 5d per cwt., free on board, at the current exchange of 27d.

The theatre was crowded to suffocation ; not a seat was unoccupied in box, pit, or gallery, and numbers left who were unable to procure even standing-room. Their Excel lencies, on their entrance, were greeted with unanimous plaudits; but, as the performances proceeded, there was considerable interruption, caused by cries of " No coercion," from a knot of "sympathizers" in the upper regions, in termingled with a few faint hisses for the Viceroy, which were speedily drowned by counter-cheers from all parts of the house. The Premier was not so fortunate, his name having evoked a storm of disapprobation, which was followed by a lonely cheer for Mr. John O'Connell, and a somewhat * warmer one for Mr. Smith O'Brien. But the uproar was not at its height until the national anthem was commenced, when the manifestations of displeasure were most unequivocal. For nearly five minutes not a note could 'he heard ; eventually, however. the storm wore itself out, and the rest of the evening passed over without any further serious attempts to mar the evening's amuse ment. The play selected was, Much Ado about Nothing. Mr. and Mrs. Kean sustained respectively the parts of Benedict and Beatrice. DREADFUL OCCURRENCE.—On Saturday morning, a fearful discovery was made at the house of an old dealer in apparel and stores, Mrs. Yoell, living in St. Mary street, Portsmouth. Smoke was observed issuing from the front window of the house at the above time, which led to the inmates being summoned, when no answer being obtained, the house was entered by the neighbours and uolice, and a most horrifying spectacle presented itself. On the floor of the bed-room lay the body of Mr. Henry Yoell, burned to a cinder, and Mrs. Yoell was dis covered crouched down in a corner of the same room insensible from the burns she had received. She was im mediately removed to the residence of another son in Queen-street, Portsea, where, however, death put an end to her sufferings in a few hours. The frightful catastrophe is supposed to have originated by the ignition of the bed furniture in which Mr. Henry Yoell, aged 60, a cripple and bedridden, was lying, and it is supposed Mrs. Yoell sustained the injuries by endeavouring to .render assi.t once to her son. Mrs. Yoell was tzs years of age. Mr. Plumy, surgeon, who was called in, is of opinion that Mrs. Voell was killed by inhaling or swallowing some suffocating matter in endeavouring to render succour to her son. Mrs. Yoell had opened a window before she was over-powered, it is supposed, to call for help to let out the L,moke. IRISII ASSIiSSINATION.—In the course of the recent debate Sir G. Grey read the following letter. It was ad dressed to a lady whose husband had been denounced : "Madam,—As a token of gratitude I write to you these few lines, apprising you - of your approaching. fate. lam to inform you that unless Mr. 111`Causlaal becomes a better landlord in this country, he will share the same fate as the demon Major Mahon did. There are resolu tions made in this country to take down all the tyrants of landlords; he, Mr. Weansland, is numbered amongst them, unless he changes, and give a full remittance of all the arrears, that are due to him, and begin in the new with his tenants; as to think he is far from the rath of this country, it. is useless, the Connaught men are determined, and may perhaps meet him in his own demesne. There are two appointed for the expedition ; they are to begin their journey on the 11th instant. I hope you will not suf fer yourself to be a widow, the same as Mrs. Mahon. As to Ross Mahon the cries of the starred and desolated have reached the head, arid, after shooting him, he is to he hanged and quartered, unless he quits Ireland. There is a fluid at present in this country, the subscribers chiefly in America, for shooting oppressors.

Another most extraortheary illustration of the prostration of moral reeling was incidentally stated by Sir R. Pecl:—" Ile had himself to Zetail exactly simi lar cases of orgauisea censpiracy.

SWITZERLAND. The latest news from -this quarter reports the sub mission of the Valais, which had been officially an nounced to the Vorort by Colonel Millet. The Diet were to meet on the 2nd instant, to' appoint federal re presentatives for that capital. With respect to Neufchatel, the accounts before us are conflicting. It was hoped is Paris, however, that the Prussian Government would take no hostile steps in consequence of the adhesion of Neuf chatel to the League—an event deemed all but certain. A correspondent of yesterday's Times, writing from Lucerne, under date Dec. Ist, says : "At the moment I am about closing this note, prepa ratory to starting for Berne to-night. an incident is being performed under the windows of the Scheisgerhoff, the General's head quarters, which has taken every,,ody, as it were, by storm, and must remove the least doubt which could have been entertained as to the heartfelt joy occa sioned by the restoration of peace to this lately distracted country. Thousands of people, including the first bur gesses of the city, have assembled in the open space, bear ing torches, and after serenading him with a hymn, the chief of the Council of State delivered an eloquent ha rangue, which was received with loud and continued, cheering. General Dufour presented himself on the bal cony. and returned thanks in a modest speech, in which he spoke highly of the discipline and efficient service of the army he Had the honour to command. "The assembly then struck up a national hymn,' Refust du mein Vaterlamt,' which, singularly enon4h. happens to be the same air as our ' God save the Queen.' They are still singing inspiring melodies." THE LATE ACTION TN SCINDE. The 'following despatch from Lieutenant Merewether gives a painfully-interesting account of the late action in Scinde, a brief notice of which is givtn in the iuteiligenoe brought by the Overland Ma : " TOMAJDR JACOB, COMMANDING FRONTIER, KHANGUR. " Sir,—Having received good intelligence of the whole Boogtie force having entered the plain, as already reported to you, I have the honour to inform you that I started at half-past one o'clock on the morning of the Ist of October with a party of the Scinde Irregular Horse, amounting to 133 men of all ranks, from Shahpoor in pursuit of the enemy. I arrived at the Zemanee river just as it became . light enough to see clearly the track of the enemy. I ob served a spot. in the bed of the Zemanee river where they. had apparently halted for a short time—from the marks, I was of opinion that their strength might be 600 or 700 footmen, with a small party of horse. I thence pro ceeded, according to your instructions, along the foot of the small hill, intending t) take post. in the Teewagh, thinking that the enemy would certainly return that way, and the ground being favourable for cavalry to act upon. However, I had not proceeded a quarter of a mile beyond the Timanee ' river, when Jan Ma homed Kheyree, who was a short distance in advance, came back and informed me that he had heard loud shout ing and much noise in the direction of Kouree. My de tachment was marching in column of troops. I wheeled them into line, and proceeded in the direction of Kouree, when near the jungle about that place, I saw the enemy - formed in a deep and long line to the left. They ap peared to be making a side movement towards the jungle. I therefore posted rapidly along their front, to cut them off from the jungle, and drive them to the open plain. They were at this time posted on some rough broken ground, with sand hillocks and bushes, but apparently fancying, from my galloping along their front, that I did not intend to attack them, they left their vantage ground and ru , hed forward to attack me, with much firing, loud shouts, and howls. This at once gave me all 1 wished for, namely, a fair field. I immedi ately changed front to.the left, which the men did most steadily, as if on parade. When my change of position was executed, I charged. The charge was made steadily and rapidly with irresistible effect. The Boogties had formed a solid mass to receive us, but were overthrown at the first onset with terrible loss. They then moved off towards the hills, distant about three miles, in disorder, but shouldering together as closely as they could. We continued our attacks, killing numbers, until, on recross ins. the Zemanee river, they made another short stand. They were again overthrown and driven into the open, . plain. They were now approaching the low bills, when Russadar Shaik Ali, very judiciously getting some men is.. advance, cut them off from that place of refuge, and they turned back towards Kouree. Their numbers were now getting small, but, though repeated offers of quarter were made to them, they obstinately continued to fight until the destruction was so great that their numbers were reduced to 120, many of whom were wounded. At last, seeing re sistance utterly hopeless, they were induced to throw down their arms and surrender. Not a single footman escaped capture or death, and two horsemen alone, out of the whole force of the enemy, stated by the prisoners to have been full 700 in all, including thirty-five horsemen. Among the slain are several chieftains of note; in fact k . all the leaders of repute in the tribe. " There were also many others, esteemed as warlike character, but of less note, killed. Neither Islam Khan nor Alim Khan was with the party. " Our own loss has, I am happy to say, been trifling when compared to the result, as shown by the annexed return of killed and wounded. Nine of our horses were killed, and ten wounded, seven of them mortally so. Amongst the wounded is your own horse, which I was riding at the time. He has received two severe sword cuts, one on the loins, close behind the saddle, and the other on the heel. " Before I fell in with the enemy, they bad attempted to plunder the village of KundraneP, whence they were beaten off by the head ml n. Deen Allhomed Kyheree, in splendid style, Deen Mahoated and his people killing the notorious Chats,' Jakronte, and others, and taking one prisoner. Three determined attacks were made by the Boogties on the fort, and at one time the assailants had actually reached the top of the wall, b u t were th rown b ac k by the defenders. " All my native officers and men behaved well in this affair; nothing could be more perfect than the steadiness and quickness which they showed throughout. " I saw four Sowars each kill several of the enemy in fair stand up fight, hand to hand; but nearly all must have done equally well, although it is not possible for me to specify every man's deeds individually. I. beg leave also to remark, that the destructive effect of our little carbines, used in one hand, at close quarters, was quite terrible to behold. Every shot appeared to kill or disable an enemy, who were often, by reason of the bushes and broken ground, enabled just to keep out of sword's reach. The hostilities in the River Plate have been tempora rily adjusted, by the mediation of the British authorities. The Journal Dee DAats announces that the French Government has determined to establish a regular steam communication between Bourbon and Suez. The case of the Rajah of Sattara, as the last mail has announced, is at length removed from human jurisdiction. and this famous prince is no longer numbered with the living. His death will at length close a dispute which seemed to defy any ordinary settlement. TILE WEATHER IN RUSSIA.—About the beginning of last month at St. Petersburg!), the thermometer rose four or five degrees above freezing point. This unnatural state of the weather continued until the 16th, when a violent storm, accompanied by a heavy fall of snow, began to blow from the north. At the same tune the waters of the Neva rose with such rapidity that the authorities con sidered it necessary to fire cannon every half hour to warn the inhabitants on the banks of the rivers to take precautions against the overflow of the banks with which they were menaced. Fortunately the waters fell on the 17th, and the temperature again became warm. FRENCH EQUESTRIAN COMPANY AT THE ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE. We noticed briefly in our last the unique performances of this excellent, and to an English andienze, original company; for certainly we had not previously had the pleasure of seeing in any English arena . so perfectly ap pointed a troupe, and feats so classical and striking. Our own Ducrow, some years ago, brought equestrianism to something nearly approaching to perfection. His tourna ments and pageantry, his well-trained steeds and daring riders, were the admiration and the wonder of the lovers of sight-seeing. He was followed not far in the rear of excellence, if at all, byjthe American Company, Batty, and others. But the artists of Mons. Dejean, and the tour ensemble of the entertainments introduced are of a totally different character. You know at once from the dresses, features, &c., of the performers, that although in an English theatre, you are not gazing upon an English scene. From the riding-master to the clowns, from the acrobats to the riders, male and female,. everything smacks of the locality of Paris and Franconi's. The talent of the whole of the troupe is quite as striking as their appearance, &c.,.is novel. Amongst the female portion of them, Mdlle. Caroline, whom, we dare say, many of our readers have seen at Vauxhall, last season, is alone a host. Mile. P. Anato is also a sur prising rider, daring and full of gracefulness in her varied evolutions. The •boy Loisset is a most wonderful little being, made, we should almost imagine, of Indian rubber, _ or, if of flesh, with cartilege only, instead of bones. The acrobats and the male riders who are too numerous for us to refer to them more particularly at present, are very superior performers. One of the latter, a young boy, readers, do n o t wear w fo a r s ge l t ou t d h l e y c c l h o e w e n re s d , w h i y loy he it ,aap,uailrdiiilebr.wartnce.ellyl to remind bl 0 i t s 1 , z e the absurd paint of the English - -" Mr. Merrim an ," or not juveniletnlo deal in the same hacknied drolleries. Their .practical jokes are full of a higher order of. humour; and one of them, M. Auriol, is amongst the most graceful and won derful riders in the arena.
