CHINA.- THE OVERLAND MAIL We have received by express from MarseilleS our de spatches in anticipation of the Overland Calcutta Mail. The dates are from Calcutta to the 7th, and from Bombay to the 15th April. The hot season was beginning, and the usual result of general quiet at that period was anticipated. The death of Akhbar Khan, who is allowed to have died from sud den sickness (poison), had paralyzed all the schemes of his partisans. Nothing of his plans had transpired, but it seems evident that he contemplated up to the time of his death to have a conflict (religious war), with the English. His father was averse to his acts, and, according to Aff ity, the notorious son was sacrificed in order e his father from difficulties. Strange to say, Akhbar Khan ordered his body to be interred in Balk, whither it had been removed with ceremony. His father, Dost Mahommed, had since gone from Cabul to Jellabald, to settle all that Akhbar Khan had left there in a disturbed state. In Lahore tranquility prevailed ; there were not even any rumours of disturbances.

The estimate of £30,000 may seem a large one; but it must be borne in mind that, even should the promoters succeed in buying off the parties now arbitrating with them in the Commons Committee, they have a further contest before them in the Lords. The inhabitants of Wigan demur to the clause granted to meet their case, which is found to be most injurious to various manufactories and other property situated upon the river Douglas; and a fierce opposition in the Lords is being got successful one too, unless some more adequate pnvision for the want of that town be provided, than is given by the clause in question. We feel thoroughly satisfied that the issue of the project, whether carried through both houses or not, must be a grievous disappointment to the lic—a waste both of time and money, and at same time a prolongation of an admitted evil, the deficiency of water for cleansing and other the time already sacrificed, since the purposes spent in parliament and in ( expenses, would have sunk the town, s or to at in existence, which it now have been in operation, and which Nalld have very greatly, if not amply, satisfied the strange no. fulness of Ulf A things—a 8 for - all things," and even for agitation.

A calamitous accident occurred last night (Monday), by the fall of a portion of the above bridge, by which seven lives are ascertained to be sacrificed. The quarter past six (p.m.) train, from Chester to Ruabon, started at its usual time, with four carriages—two first-class and two second-class--the number of passengers, we under stand, being about twelve; and on passing over the second arch on the Wrexham side of the river Dee, one half of the arch next to the Roodee gave way, and fell into the river, with the line of rails upon which the train was running, leaving the other half standing. The en gine and tender had got over, the latter being so close to the falling mass that it was thrown off the rails. The whole of the carriages, however, were precipitated into the Dee, where they lie endways, almost completely smashed. The intelligent superintendent of the Chester police, Mr. Hill, was shortly after the accident upon the spot, and under his able directions assistance was rendered as soon as possible; and seven of the passengers, who are now lying dead in the Hospital, were got out. Two others were extracted, but are not expected to survive ; and others are miss=ing, The bridge was a rather handsome structure, lofty, and composed of two arches, of large span, with horizontal bearings of irons; and joints up to a number of arches running along the side of the Roodee. The line has only been opened a month (since the Mon day before Chester races) ; and it is supposed that either the piers had not been sufficiently consolidated, the stonework defective, or that the iron bearings had become warped by the heavy trains (consisting of iron from Rua bon) passing over them. Another cause of the insecurity of the bridge may have been the difficulty always said to he experienced in getting a foundation in the bed of the Dee. It is a fortunate circumstance that the train pas sing over the bridge in the morning, which, if it had been precipitated into tho river in a similar manner, would have produced a much more widely spread disaster. Amongst the lives lost is, we regret to say, Mr. John Matthews, coach proprietor and driver of the Holyhead mail, a party well known for his estimable qualities by many in this town and in Wales, and who leaves behind him, to regret his loss, a wife and eight children. The guard of the train was also one of the killed. The bridge, we understand, was contracted for, and built by, Mr. Betts, and will have, as a matter of course, to be entirely taken down and reconstructed. DECLINE IN THE CORN MARKET.-OPENING OF THE PORTS OF THE BALTIC. We have been favoured by an influential and well informed house in the corn trade with the substance of their most recent advices from all parts of the kingdom. Their most satisfactory feature, so far as the consumer is concerned, is the almost universal tendency towards a decline in prices. Various causes may be adduced for this, the principal being the splendid weather with which the country has been blessed during the past fortnight. Another is, the fact that the wants of Ireland are now pretty well provided for ; and that foreign wheat imported into that country is now being shipped to this and other portt, its place in the sister country being occupied by coarser sorts of food, such as Indian corn, Indian meal, &c. The opening of the Baltic ports has also contributed to dissipate the fears previously entertained of a continua tion of scarcity and high prices. Several grain-laden vessels arrived in this port from Friday up to yesterday, from Dantzic, Stettin, &c. ; and the arrivals in London, Hull, and other ports on the eastern coast, are to a much larger amount. From the ports of the Black Sea the importations are not expected to be very heavy until the latter end of June and July ; but we have the certainty, that, with the high inducement to direct cargoes here, we shall be amply supplied to enable us to put on until our own harvest. This supply, although in pr naturally influences holders to realise America - n supply also, it is now beginning to be thought, will be considerable, as our friends across the water will economise consumption of wheat by the resort to Indian corn, rather than om►t the opportunity of profiting by the receipt of the present high prices. The rates in Liverpool have lately been materially raised by the demand from the southern and western counties, where the agriculturists appear to have sold out too freely and too early. We hear of one house having chartered within a very short period, no less than thirty five vessels to carry supplies coastwise, to ports in the Bristol Channel, and as far round as Portsmouth. The demand from this quarter, however, is materially abating ; and must do so in an increased degree, as supplies from the Baltic come in. It is seldom that the tone of the market can be fairly judged of by•the few transactions which take place on the intermediate days of our two markets, especially in the absence of any exciting information. Yesterday, how ever, we are informed, that American flour, of the staple quality could have been bought for 455. per barrel, which On Friday ranged at about 475. to 475. 6d. This day's market will probably test the disposition of holders more decidedly ; and we certainly expect to see reduction the order of the day, as the trade seeme just now quite para lyzed. During last week no fewer than 95 vessels laden with corn arrived in London from European ports. A remark able and very important feature attaching to these arri vals of grain, is the various descriptions of vessels belong ing, to different nations in which they took place, bringing various others of a similar nature ARRIVAL OF IMMIGRANT THE WEEK.—The arrivals of decreased very little tine regulations and the it the steam-boat companies. across the • At neenng and other two additional wells in To shew the injury to which th rendered liable by the present a may instance tilt a Drogheda steamer which arrived in the river on the 22d (Saturday).

In corroboration of what we have above stated,,as the result of our own inquiries on the spot, the following passage, from a letter addressed to the authorities of Manchester, by Dr. Howard, one of the physicians of the Royal Infirmary in that town, contains some very "It may appear a strong, and, to those not intimately ac- baps an exaggerated state .nt for me to mak but neveriVe- a great number of the inhabitants of this town are at the pre sent moment daily perishing from the effects of deficiency of food—absolutely dying from want.

Within the range of my observations, the present amount of destitution is unparalleled ; and I repeat, I am convinced that members are sinking into the grave solely from the want of food." The patients admitted into the feVer ward, Mr. Howard says, are now frequently brought there from their beds and almost in a state of nudity. What adds to the distressed outward aspect of the ma nufacturing districts arc, the swarms of Irish paupers who throng all the towns and villages, begging importunately, and in some of the retired outskirts, even threateningly. The old turnpike road between this port and the interior is travelled over from morning till night by parties of these forlorn-looking beings, tramping onwards without an b of, beyond they extort upon the route; for employment is quite hopeless. visions of the Vagrancy Act towards diem is impossible and any attempt at doing so, without the means at hand to provide for their necessities from the funds of the va- ,ni chance of procuring rioiis parishes in which they present themselves, would only operate to drive them into the back streets and the lanes to die of famine, or of the fever which they bring with them to be introduced amongst our own resident poor and working classes. STEALING FROM THE MARKETS.—SeveraI charges of stealing meat from the public markets, and other stands, were yesterday brought before Mr. Rushton. One woman, named Jenkins, was sent to prison for fourteen days, for stealing 2 1 lbs. of mutton in St. John's ; and another for stealinc , a piece - of pork and a piece of beef was committed for two months. SOUTH LANCASHIRE ELECTION. — The address of Viscount Brackley—eldest son of the Earl of Ellesmere — appears in our advertising columns. Mr. Entwisle retires from the representation, and it would appear at present as if Lord Brackley and dr. Brown were to be returned un opposed. It is somewhat strange—if anything was strange now-a-days—to find a son of Earl Ellesmere announcing himself a supporter of a Whig Government. EASTERN DISPENSARY.—At the meeting of the com mittee of the Eaftern Dispensary held yesterday, Dr. Ashcroft was unanimously appointed honorary consulting physician, Dr. Imlach was appointed honorary physician, and Mr. George Dodd honorary surgeon. We under stand that the committee intend to appeal for assistance to the council at their next meeting, and in case of re fusal, this most useful charity must be closed for want of funds. GAMBLING TABLES.—A man, named John Omelia, was yesterday charged by a police-officer with being found with a table containing a ring, or bull's-eye, which parties were invited to shoot at with a cross-bow for nuts. The magistrate enquired whether success at the game de pended upon skill, and the answer being in the affirma tive, he dismissed the prisoner, cautioning him, however, not to interrupt any of the thoroughfares, as any obstruc tion would involve a breach of the law.

'At Lucknow there was a commotion, arising from the new sovereign having ordered that a temple, wit ch was said to have been polluted by the Mahometans, should be pulled down. The various religious sects got quarrelling on the subject, and they had got to blows. In the Nizam's dominions the state of the government was far from being satisfactory. The new minister and the Nizam were not on good terms, and the result was that the affairs of the government were far from being im proved. On the contrary, they were deteriorating daily, so that an outbreak may be expected ere long. It is feared that some foreign intrigues are at work in the ca pital of the Deccan. There are disturbances in the Rajwarra districts, caused by a freebooter named Dhoongher Singh, who at the head of about 4.000 men sometimes shows in one place and soon after in another distant one. He attacked Rarnghur, plundered several villages, took black mail from others burned several dwellings, and started off towards Bickaneer. The latest news is that he has gone in the direction of the Sirsa jungles. The British troo 3S had then to pursue him, for otherwise the native chiefs would make no exertions. The inhabitants around Almere and Nusserabad were terrified with the ferocious proceedings of this band, which must be put down to prevent much greater confusion. The results of the plundering were felt in the markets at Bombay, for the native merchants led to make purchases of cotton goods, &c., which )1T the usual they cou not convey to their destination The disturbances in the Rajpoot districts are calculated to augment the traffic on the Indus ; but the monsoon, which sets in at the mouth of that river in May, will prevent all communications until the beginning of Sept. Scinde was tranquil and healthy. Sir Charles Napier, who had been slightly indisposed, was at Kurrachee. Nothing was said of the late invasion of the Seebee country by the troops from Candahar. The camel corps, and other corps, were ordered to be put in an efficient state. Rumour alluded to the probable resignation of Sir Charles Napier ; but nothing positive was known on the subject. The subscriptions for the Irish and Scotch poor were considerable at Calcutta and Bombay. Madras was about There was some disappointmene felt at the manner in which the railway schemes were suffered to fall to the ground ; for many persons were sanguine as to the benefit likely to arise to India from them. Lords Hardinge and Gough were at Simla, where they intend to remain during the hot season. The new Governor of Bombay continued to be popular. Some of his acts proved his determination to carry on his government with resolution and independence.

O'CONNELL There seems to be now no doubt that Daniel O'Connell is no more. We take the following from Galignani's Messenger, (Paris paper,) of Saturday : We have been favoured with the following letter from Dr. Duff, the English physician at Genoa, dated the 16th instant : _ _ _ " Some account of the closing scenes of the life of an individual who has filled so remarkable a• position in, the world as Daniel O'Connell, must prove interesting to the generality of the readers of the Messenger, and I there fore, as an English physician, called in to attend him, take leave to lay before you the following statement : On Monday, May 10, I saw Mr. O'Connell for the first time, and he was then suffering from a profuse and invo luntary diarrhoea, with great pain of the abdomen under pressure, strong rapid pulse, flushed face, &c. Mr. O'Connell had also chronic bronchitis of some years' standing. From the remedies employed these symp toms were much ameliorated, and on the morrow he seemed convalescent. But from Mr. O'Connell's great repugnance to swallow even the most simple medicine, this state of improvement could not be followed up. On the evening of Tuesday the 11th the new symptom of congestion of the brain pre sented itself. Active measures were immediately had recourse to, and from them there was a decided improve ment. Again the aid of internal remedies was denied, Mr. O'Connell refusing to take any medicine. Towards the evening of Wednesday, the 12th, the symptoms in- Creased, Mr. O'Connell was restless, and sometimes slightly incoherent. Our former measures were again employed, but with slight success. During Thursday all 'the symptoms increased with great tendency to sleep, from which, however, he could easily be roused ; the breathing was much embarrassed ; circulation became difficult and in some degree indistinct, and the mind wavered. Thursday night was passed in a state of pro found heavy sleep, with increased difficulty of breathing, and, in addressing those about him, he imagined himself in London, and spoke to them as if there. On Friday he was much. worse, the breathing very laborious, the voice scarcely audible, and the words half formed ; all the symp toms had increased. In this state helingered on till Saturday night, seemingly conscious of the presence of those about him, but neither attempting to more nor speak. My treat ment of Mr. O'Connell was always in conjunction with Dr. Beretta, of this plaee, and a young French phy sician, who had accompanied him from Lyons, and, on the day preceding his demise, we had the advantage of consulting wit is advice, and as.a last resource, a further application of leeches to the temple: was advised, tut all r; , asin vain ; he expired last night at pain. During the. whole time of our attendance upon Mr. O'Connell it was with the greatest difficulty he could be induced to take _rnedicitp,, or even necessary food, and he perseveringly ab: Had this been otherwise, the period of death might have been procrastinated, but his failing health and spirits, with constant tendency to cerebral congestion, rendered cc thin his death at , no very distant period " Another 1 death etter states that the immediate cause of his ppssibly attributable to his neglect of the advice )f the physiciani he consulted at Paris, to avoid travelling by sea. A SELF-CONVICTED OFFENDER.—On Saturday, a man named Joseph Bowman gave himself up to police-constable No. 92; stating that he had robbed his master in Man chester of £lO to £12." He was remanded, and on being, brought up yesterday was further put back until this day, May 25, (847. LATEST INTELLIGENC E. (BY EXPRESS.) LONDON CORN MARKET .-YESTERDAY The remarkably fine weather and splendid appearance of the growing crops, together with lower prices in the continental markets, and an arrival of over 30,000 qrs. of foreign wheat, haVe combined to completely paralyse our grain market this mornirg, and although the supply of English Wheat was not large, very little progress could be made in sales until a re duction of from 6s. to Bs. under the currency of this day week was yielded to buyers, at which decline the supply was fairly disposed of. Foreign was similarly depressed, and having but a small attendance of country buyers but little business re sulted. Indian Corn floating in fair request at our previous currency, but on the spot 2s. lower than last Monday. Barley, Malt, Beans, and Peas, are slow of sale, and 2s. cheaper. Oats participated in the general dullness, and are Is. to 2s cheaper. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET V .-_ ESTER!) The Beef trade was not so active as on Friday last, on which day beef advanced in value. quite 4d. per 8 lb:, yet the currencies obtained .on this day se nnight were firmly . supported in every instance, the primest Scots readily producing ss. 4d. per 8 lb:, and_ at which a good clearance was readily made. The numbers of sheep were on the decrease, yet the Muttmt trade was somewhat inactive, at about last week's currencies. As nearly the whole of the sheep are now out of the wool, it must be observed that our quotations solely refer to those shorn. The best old Downs were selling at ss, Bd. per 81b. From the Isle of Wight about 300 Lambs came fresh to hand, and the arrivals from other quarters were tolerably good. The Lamb trade was firm, at fully Friday's advanced rates, the best qualities producing 7s. per 811). The Veal trade was very steady . , at last week's prices. In Pigs, only a moderate business was doing, at about sta- tionary figures. MONEY MARKET-YESTERDAY Consols opened this morning rather in advance of the closing prices of Saturday, and have been done at 871. That elevation, however, has not been sustained, as they have since fallen back to 874, at which they are now sellers. Three per Cents. Re duced have been done at 80 to and Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. 88 to 72 ; Exchequer-bills maintain their old po sition of par to 2 p.m. The Sutlej medals for military distribution this summer, will cost the East India Company £20,090. The Marquis of Normanby left Paris on Friday, for London, the general belief being that he would not return' as ambassador. In consequence of the present growing weather,. the price of flour fell at Canterbury market on Saturday, 45. to fig...per sack. " What time is it, Tom ?" " Just time to pay that lit tle account you owe me." " Oh, indeed ! Well, I didn't think it was half so late !"

GOVERNMENT AND RAILWAYS. — GOVerIUDeiIt has issued orders to the raliway companies and officers of pub lic works to send in returns of the number of the employed and the amount of wages paid, with a view to suggesting some means for stopping the present pressure on the money market. If they fix upon stopping the works there will be a pretty to do. THE IRISH POOR LAW.—Lords Radnor, Monteagle, and Fitzwilliam have signed a protest, for the following, among other, singular reasons :—" 1. B ecause ever y l aw giving to the destitute a claim to relief must of necessity have a tendency to induce amongst the objects of its care i 1 provident habits ; and this tendency is increased in more than an equal ratio, as the range of objects to which it applies is enlarged and the nature of the relief extended. —2. Because the Irish people seem, either from natural :itution or ac ventitious circumstances, pecu. prone to such habits ; and co them their preSera distress may, in my opinion, be mainly traced." ry PROJECT FOR RETAINING SMITHFIELD MARKET.—A scheme is nuw on foot for excavating be neath the whole area of Smithfield market, in order to form abattoirs. The plans are nearly completed, and we understand will shortly have to be brought before Parlia ment. A. depth of not less than. 25 feet is talked of, fie capable of being applied to the purpose of slaughter houses, and without any want of sufficient drainage or light. The cattle being driven into the market during the night will be slaughtered on the spot, and thus, the projectors think, obviate the main objection to the present locality.

They were apprehended by police-officers 69 and 70, and it appears that the depreda tions in the locality are frequent and serious to grcrvars - The boy was discharged, and the man committed to o° l for a month under the statute provided for the offence. RATHER BACKWARD. _ — Upwards of three thousand years ago, the people of Israel had a sanitary code of and an efficient sanitary police : it is necessarily two thou` sand years since the cities of heathen and barbaric Rome were constructed with an aspecial reference to the health of their inhabitants, lavishly supplied with the means 0 ' preserving it, and placed under efficient sanitary superill- dente: but Christian England, in the middle of thenine." teenth century, has only just reached that stage of, cis!i' lization and enlightenment in which a large and compre hensive measure of sanitary reform, could command the attention of its legislature, and engage the sympathies of its people. How full of reproof is that simple statement of facts,—People's Journal. CHANGE OF SEASON. —Now that the present fine weather unmistakably indicates the rapid approach of 8 sultry summer, it may not be out of place to advise those who prize the valuable jewel, health, to devote the serious attention to it which is absolutely imperative at this season. It is a well-established fact that the majority of " the ills which flesh is heir to " are mainly attributable to an unhealthy state of the blood and consequent iinper feet circulation. To remedy this, and promote a healthy and regular action at the secretions, we recommend trial of " Priestley's Consent ra t e d D ecoct i on o f S 3 parilla."

Yesterday an inquest was held at - Aigburth, before Mr. Heyes, the county coroner, on view of the body of James Billinge, of the police force, formerly a bridewell keeper, and latterly a clerk in the Watch-office, where he was much respected for his atten tion and punctuality. Deceased, who was only twenty eight years of age, had unexpectedly been missing for sometime, and it was generally believed that domestic circumstances had preyed upon his mind. His body was found on Saturday morning in a pond or pit in the town ship of Allerton, and had apparently long been immersed in the water. The jury, after hearing all the evidence, returned a verdict simply to the effect that he wee " found drowned." Ile has left a wife and family, the witnesses against him not having appeared. STEALING MONEY FROM A SW:W.—Yesterday, at the Police-court, a man named Jordan was brought up on a charge of stealing £8 4s. in silver from a desk in the back shop of Mr. James Hardie, No. 6, Richmond-street.

' STEALING FROM A SHANDRY.—At the Police-court, yesterday, a man named Edward M‘Guire was charged with having stolen, in Bridgewater-street, from a shandry belonging to Mr. Robert - Waring, a clerk, residing at Smithdown-lane, a parcel containing groceries of the va lue of 6s. There was a person in the vehicle at the time, who witnessed the impudent theft. The priioner was committed for trial. THEFT OF PLATE FROM A SHOP.—At the Police court, yesterday, a man named Henry Jones was charged with stealing a silver wine-strainer from the shop of Mr. Hart, silversmith, &c., Lord-street, on Friday night last. The prisoner had gone into the shop, and contrived to carry off the article, which, after he had beaten it into an unshapely mass, he offered for sale at Mr. Stewart's shop, No. 120, Park-lane. Mr. Stewart made some inquiries as to how the prisoner had become possessed of the article, and he said he had come from Manchester, and had found it on some gravel stones on this side of Warrington. Suspicion being excited, the plate was not purchased, and the police having received information, the prisoner was apprehended on Saturday. The value of the article wi s about £7.
