SUPPLEMENT TO THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES. ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND NORTH WESTERN RAILWAY. This morning the down mail train from London was detained for about two hours, in consequence of a .disaster which happened to the boiler of the engine, at Stafford. The train is due at the Lime street station, at a quater to four o'clock, but' it did nor arrive until nearly six o'clock. Northern Daily Times Office, Saturday Morning, Six o'Clock. MARKET REPORT and the surrounding stations, and one or two or more officers have fallen victims to the scourge. Among these we note the name of Lieut. and Ad jutant Anderton of the 74th Bengal N. I. On'the river Jum.na near the station of Agra, a gentlemen is now engaged in opening coal-mines for the supply of steamers working upon the river Ganges. Coal steamers are also said to exist at Callinger and at Ajeeghur ; and the latter place is situated a few miles to the East of the river Caur, which joins the Jumna about 100 miles above Allahabad. The Caur is said to be perfectly practicable for boats all the way from its mouth to the neighbourhood of the coal mines. The practicability of supplying our steamers working upon the Ganges and other Indian rivers, with coal indigenous to the soil, instead of that. brought out from England, has often been talked of, 134 is only now likelY to be 'put in practice for the first time. And this prac ticability could hardly. have come at a more favor able season, for the price of English coal is at pre sent extremely high even at the Presidency, and sea-port, towns of India. The Nizam's dominions are perfectly quiet, as is also the territories not long ago given up to our Government, in virtue of the late treaty. The Brigade which was out in '.the vally of Berar has been withdrawn. All the Zemindars, or large landholders, who were inclined to be refractory in those districts, towards the new order of things, have given in, and the whole of the districts are as quiet as any province of British India. • From neither' Calcutta . nor Madras have we any thing new to commnnicate. The Governor General is still at the former place, and rumour has it that His Lordship is likely to remain some eighteen months longer in India. In Bombay the great event of the past ten days, has been a public Meeting, which has been con vened at the Town Hall, for the purpose of taking into consideration the defective mail arrangements, and to take such measures as may „lead to an im proVement in the same. A practical speech was made by Mr. John Smith, of the well-known firm of Messrs. William Nicol Co. Telegraph and Courier Office, Bombay, 10th Sept., 1853. Since the departure of the last Mail, the transac tions in Piece Goods have been to a fair extent, al though not so great in proportion as during the preceding 'fortnight ; and there is little change to notice in prices.' Crey Long Cloths are not yet in season, but there is a better enquiry for them. Grey Madapollams have been sold to the extent of 10,400 pieces at Rs. 2. 11 to Rs. 2, 5. per piece. Grey T. Cloth and Domestics show no change. Grey Jacconetts are much sought for. Grey Cambric are enquired for. Bleached Shirtings are freely bought, but the more extensive goods do not meet with demand. Turkey Red GoOds are in rather better enquiry. Turkey Red Yarns are very saleable. 29,000 lbs. of Cochneal sold at Rs. 17-8, and 130 lbs. Saffron at Rs. 131 per lbs. Cotton is fully maintained, the dealers being very firm, more especially as the rates of freight have lately given way to £2 15. S at £2 17s 'Ed to LiVerpool. but few transactions have taken place, at. Rs 103 per candy for Dhollerah, Rs. 105 to 106 for Broach and Surat ; Rs. 96 at 98" for Oomerwutty .Rs. 95 at 96 for Mangrole Cotton.

The papers brought by the Overland Mail ar rived in London last night. The following is the " Overland Summary " from the Bombay Telegraph of Septeniber 12 : The very short period-vhich has' elapsed since the departure of the last mail, which left Bombay on the 30th ultimo, in some measure account for the paucity of fresh intelligence. To begin with Burmah, the peace of that province, which was only declared a very few weeks ago, is, it would seem, already on the eve ofa rupture. The last accounts from Prome give out with confidence, that Meeah Toon, the robber chief, is back in his old quarters, and that he and other chiefs, have been organizing a large force with which they were to attack the British posts, and to harrass all the inhabitants who had acknowledged allegiance to the British Government. It has been deemed . necessary by Sir John Cheape to strengthen Prome, and IrM. 18th Royal Irish, who were at a place called Shoedony, have been recalled to Prome. The river Irawaddy is still rising,. and the ,troops are apparently healthy. Opinions are much divided as to the results of Meeah ,Toon's proposed insurrection ; but that he intends harrassing both our outposts and our sub jects in Pegue, there seems to be but little doubt. Moteover, the whole land is at present swarming with dacoits. Every plunderer throtighout Bur mah proper, seems to have made the best of his - Way into our newly ,acquired territories, and, it is ~Said that all the leaders ot* these gangs are work ng upon a regular system, which is dictated by.. 'the Court at Ava. The plan they follow, is to lay waste the whole of the 'country, and to harrass the inhabitants to such. an ,extent that the ,latter must sooner or later leave our dominions entirely, and Cross the boundery' line which. ..we have ourselves marked for the limits:Of the BUrmese doininions. • In proof of these snrmises and statements, it is said that there are no gangs above Medway,.and.that the inhabitants of Northern Burmah enjoy perfect free dom from the visits of these ruffians. But whether theSe robbers are working for themselves, .or for . the Court of Ava, it amounts to - much the same thing, - and sooner or later the nuisance Will have to be ,put down with a very - strong arm. The like i hood of famine has in a great Measure disappeared, The importation of rice from Bengal has been , very large, and the same scarcity of provisions no longer exists. At Moulmein three officers of the .2nd Bengal Fusiliers are under arrest tOr assault ing, in his own house, an Armenian merchant who `refused to supply them with wine. t. From the North West Frontier we have nothing new to communicate since the commencement of. the month. For the present the Afreedees appear to have dropped the liostile deMeanour which they assumed towards us. Atour out postS near Pesh awar, false alarms semi 'to be the order of the day; and there is a rmnehr• that so soon as the cold weather sets in, a brigade is to take the field. FROM ,CABoOT, AND THE OTHER-COUNTRIES• TO THE NORTH WEST OF PESHAWAR, we have nothing new to communicate. The report of Herat having fallen to the Persian Army, is confirmed in some of the Native papers in the North of India, as ' well as by some of the native news writers of the English press. In% Bombay, it is spoken of amongst the Mogul and - Mussuhnan population, (all of whom have far better means than are at the disposal of us, Anglo-rndians, for assertairiiug the truth of such report) as a well known and possi - tivc 'fact. Whether the additional rumour of several Russian officers being present with the Persian Army, (as noted in our last Summary) be correct or not, time will show, but we may mention. that this is also .spoken of, by the - better informed ~of- the natives, as . being pOsSitivelY the case. In the North West Provinces there is not nearly so much Cholera as existed when the last mail left. Nevertheless a good deal still exists at Cawnpore LIVERPOOL PRINTED BY CHARLES WILMER, 19, SOUTH JOHN-STREW, ii /to: • ' z,10 , 1 , fi 4 ,c mlant. , AC IT; Z relit ol reAl: pto'ol4 • - 4 ,4kik) ,!ILL Lt • 31*$li,t ). 7. a
