The limes publishes despatches horn its special cor resporNlents at Calcutta and Bombay. The following is from the Calcutta letter dated October 8 :—General Havelock is too weak handed. It is doubt•ful even if 'he will succeed' in reaching Cawn pore. He is hemmed in by a large force which cannot number lass than 30,000 men, with all the communicatienc in their hands,an amazing number of cannon, plenty of provisions, and the sympathy of the Mussulman population. There are no troops to send to his aid, and he designs, it is said, to leave a small garrison in laueknow, and cut his way with the remainder back to 'Cawnpore. Notwith standing the fall of Delhi, all we elm do is to maintain our ground until the English reinforce ments arrive. They cannot be in India in force until the tuil.dle of November. They will, on their arrival at Calcutta and Bombay, be tranported iu steaixers and immense bullock trains, to Allahabad, whence strong columns under Sir Colin Campbell will sweep through the North-West and Cade, re-conquering the provinces as if they had never been 'in our possession. This ovetneut cannot be corninenced till the 2ed. of D,cember. • The Bombay correspondent of eno DdilylVe:Ts says that the fall of Delhi and the relief of Lucknow decided the fate of the rehcliton,but by no means conclude our labours in the field. The enemy, beaten and disorgleized on two points, will probably rally upon others, awl afford our troops sufficient or-et:nation for a f e w month s to come. The ". Civil Correspondent" of the same paper at Calcutta says, that although large bodice of armed men are scattered about the country, we may now consider the muggy as crushed, and wholesale danger at an en!. He also mentions a rumour of Lord Canning's intention to proceed to the North-west Provinces when the Commander-in-Chief .moves up ; which will be when he has an English army about him. The ° Military Correspondent" writes from Banda, Jubbuloore, and the Sauget. and Nerbudda ter ritory the news is as bad as it can well be. Koour Sing still holds his head high ; the Newel) of Banda is opposed to use the 501,12. and 52nd Regi ments N.I. have mutinied, leaving hut theee regiments in the Bengal army true to their colours. The 52nd distinguished themselves by murdering one of their officers under circumstances of, what would have been called before the present outbreak, unexampled brutality. The three regiments which have remained staunch are the 3lsd, the 32nd, and the. 73rd N.l Of these, the 313 t is reported shakoy. The 32nd received a lesson frem the late Sir Charles Napier many years ago, which they have not yet forgotton ; and the 73rd, located at a station where there is no treasure, and distant from any European troops, have, it is sail, announced their intention of remaining loyal so long as they are suffered to continue as they now are, but that the moment they hear of an European force being within .::fifty miles of them, they will revenge themselves on their European officers. It is not a pleasant situation for these latter, but probably the fall of Delhi will not be without due effect upon them Behar is still fermenting. although all fears of an .outbreak have vanished. The two columns of Eturopeareand Madras troops under the commands of Colonel Fischer and Major English have been successdil in several skirmishes, but it is to be :hoped that they will not allow the sth Irregular Cavalry, already gorged with booty, to escape without receiving some marks of British prowess on their persons. Our metropolitan cotempora ries look upon the pleasant edvices as of a satisfac tory character. The 7iinee says, that the capture of Delhi, and die relief r) Lucknow, are deeds of arms that may well serve as models to future commandera—and adds, "one character is impressed on all we hear of tins desperate con test. It .is the noble conduct of the officers in command, and the devoted courage of the men. 'The conntry has, we all feel, repaired its renown, which was for a while wounded by the episode di the Crimea. We have uow shown the world that -we have Generals who can command, as well as soldiers who can go boldly to danger and to victory. The men who became notorious two or three years ..since may now be consigned to a contemptuous .oblivion. -In the triumph of new achievements the country has forgotten the disasters that are peso." There was a Cabinet Council held yesterday afternoon, at -which it was determined to call Parlil:ment to meet on Thursday the 3rd of December next, and, accordingly, en extraordinary supplement to the . Gazette was issued last night, anno unclog such decision. havereceived information that the ollywo)d Pits, Stavcley, the largest coal pits in ,D:n.byshire are or 2 fire, and that a number of men ale known to be in the pits. We learn by telegraph that twelve n'en were suff)cated in the pit whilst they were attempting to extinguish the fire wilich had hrokeri, out in a cabin in the pit. The wretched culprit Davis, convicted of the murder of his wife, was hanged yesterday morning, in front of Newgate Prison. Since his conviction he seems' to have passed through an amount of grief and Iz lental agony worse than many deaths. A most cold-blooded murder was perpetrated on Friday evening, about four o'eloek, at Ashover Hill, about five miles from -Chesterfield. On tint ,day Mr. Siitirsen attended the Chesterfield market to dispose of his farm produce. On his return, about five o'clock in the evening, he was . attacked by some person or persons, and sh u t through the head." His person was then rifle i of his wateli and purse, and the murderers made good•their escape. Mr. Simpson mut have died almost immediately. It is supposed that the murderer- mistook the deeettsad for Mr, Fletcher, who was on his way to his colliery to pay his men and was supposed to have a good sum of 1210 1 ) 0 .Y in leis possession. Nothing has been hard of the murderer. L G . g aily there is nothing stirring. Business begins to assume its wont e d a ctiv i t y , and prides • of the leading coms umptive articles, with exception of Bre.e.dstuir,,oxhibit an advancing tendency. . Respecting the .question of the Primi panties, the Paris journals publish a despatch addressed to the representatives of the Sublime Porte at the Courts of the Powers which signed the Treaty of Paris. In this document it is stated that the Divans, instead of pointing out theadminietrative reforms of which the Principalities stood in need, and which.was the task assigned to them by the • Treaty of Paris, cammenced by demanding reforms political, which was nothing else than an attack upon the principles of the Sultan, and in the integrity of the Ottowsu Zopire. No more reasonable issue could THE NORTHERN TIMES.---LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1857. be expected from men embued with the ideas which nearly overturned the whole of Europe in 1848. The sublime Porte, confident in its rights, will wait with security the judgment of the Con ference of Paris. Le Nord publishes a despatch, addressed by Prince Gortsehakoff to the Russian Ambassador at Constantinople. The despatch states that the Russian Imperial Cabinet, without declaring itself in any way, either for or against, the union of the Principalities, entirely reserves its judgment of the question until tho meeting of the Conferences of Paris. Trade in France is nearly at a standstill, with no prospect of improvement, as long as the existing rates of discount are maintained. The rise in these rates, on Wednesday last, lead to a further depreciation in every kind of goods, and compelled manufacturers to limit production. A great number of looms have been stopped at Lyons, Rouen, &e., &0., and wages have been reduced. Melbourne advices to the 16:h September are to hand. We regret to say that trade was extremely dull, and had been so for some months. Employ ment was scarce, but labourers would not accept lower wages, and a large number of persons were, consequently, out of work. The receipts of gold by escort were still very large, much more so than at the corresponding period last year. Gold was quoted at 795. per oz., but a decline of S.V. per oz. was expected. Two. Chinese had been executed for the murder of a European female, We are in the receipt of four days later intelli gence from the United States by the arrival of the Europa, which brought 6,500 dollars in specie. The news—an ample summary of which we publish —will, in general, be found rather interesting. 'there had been much excitement caused in Balti more by that city being placed under martial law by the Governor of Maryland. The elections were to take place on Wednesday the 4th inst., and the Governor wished the Mayor of the city to co operate with him to prevent any rioting and undue intimidation at the polls. The Mayor replied that the city was under his authority, and, therefore, he would use his own discretion in the matter, intimating in pretty plain terms that, if even rioting, fighting, intimidation, bribery, and cor ruption did take place, it was no business of the Goeernor's. The latter immediately visited Wasla. ington, had an interview with the Executive, returned to Baltimore, and issued a proclamation placing the city under martial law, and calling out 7,000 troops. This proclamation created intense excitement, so much so that it was feared that a collision would occur, and at the last moment the Governor had recalled his proclamation. How the election ended we do not know as yet. Proclama tions seem to be quite a hobby with American men in office. Two proclamations had been issued by Governor Walker, of Kansas, dioabling the votes of two counties in the territory, on the ground that they were obtained by bribery and corruption, and that many spurious yobs had been accepted at the polls. This also created excite meat, and such were the loud expressions of dis approbation, that the governor found it necessary to leave Lawrence, the seat of government, for his personal safety. Two weeks later news from Cali fornia, of no greet importance, is to hand by the Europa. The amount of gold expected from San Francisco during the nine months ending the Ist {).:sober, was 32,003,980, dols, against 36,13:1,066 dols, in the same period of the previous year. A despatch received here, dated Honolulu, Sep tember 3, says that Captain Paty's Guano expedi tion resu!ted in tal:ing possession of two Islands, named Leysau and Lecanskey, in the name of King Kenescharneska, of the Sandwich -Islands. The two Islands taken by the Captain were covered with Guano. BY telegraph we learn that filer Majesty's Ministers have resolved to call Parliament together for the despatch of business, and that at the Cabinet Couucil held yesterday, December 3rd has been selected for that purpose. We are glad that the Government has felt it their duty to take the sense of Parliament upon the present state of the rrnint ry, nn nc mo tto1• `inu.•oo, give us some insight into the aspect of affairs in India. Indeed, as we have on more than one occasion stated there should not have been such a lengthened prorogation, particularly as the country was never in such an alarming and dis couraging position than at the present moment. The primary cause of the approaching winter Session of Parliament is owing to the suspension of the Bank Charter. According to the terms of the Act, Ministers are bound to obtain, at the earliest period possible, an Act of Indemnity. We hope, however, that an Act which his undoubtedly been the main cause of much of the commercial difficulties which have occurred of late will be made, with the least possible delay, the subject of legislation, and all the monopoly enjoyed by the Bank of England swept away. We have often demonstrated in these columns the inadequacy and mischievous character of the Bank Charter. We require free trade in Bank ing as well as in all the other departments of commerce. Had we had this, and our merchant traders been enabled to obtain discounts at moderate rates. but few of the failures enumerated in our. publication of Saturday last would have taken place. We do not suppose that Ministers will find any difficulty in obtaining the Act of Indemnity required; at the same time, they must be prepared to learn that they have despised with an indifference, almost - bordering upon con tempt, the prophetic warnings of the leading Currency Reformors. This latter class, both in and out of Parliament, have it in their power to promote their Banking theories, and thereby ren der important service not only to the commercial portion of the community, but the nation at large. Although sufficient time has not elapsed to enable a correct opinion to be formed as to the probable influence of the suspension of the Bank Charter, never theless, sufficient is known to justify us in saying that it will be such as to allay fear, and restore confidence. From all tthe information which we have gleaned on 'Change, as well as the Man chester advices, we are glai to know that al ready the various departments of business have assumed an improving aspect. The cheers which hailed the announeement of the suspen sioncof the Bank Charter, by the merchants and brokers on the Liverpool Exchange, the better feeling which took place in the London and Liverpool produce market, and the expression of ; returning conlidence contained in our Manches ter and Birmingham letters, are all evidences of the beneficial tendency of the step so long deferred, but at last adopted, by the Government. Already we know that houses which have been hard pressed for money can now get it, and each day will probably bring increased relief. Taking all things into consideration, the symptoms ill relation to monetary and commercial matters are just now as encouraging as could be expected. But these symptoms did not manifest themselves until the stringent provisions of the Bank Charter Act were forcibly suspended. For these reasons we renew our demand that the monetary laws of this great commercial empire shall be thoroughly revised, and placed upon that broad and sound basis which the spirit of the age, and the daily increasing progress of our stupendous trade and commerce, alike demand. Next to the commercial state of the country, and the adoption of ways and means to mitigate the distress which is now certain to befall the poorer classes during the winter, from the want of employment and the high price of provisions, it will be the duty of Parliament, in the Session about to be opened, to take up and consider how, and in what way, we are to deal with India. In our remarks of yesterday we showed that, every thing considered, the mutiny in India had been so effectually crushed as to leave but little cause for future anxiety ; and that, if we follow up our past successes with the same energy and spirit in subsequent operations, the mutinous Sepoys of India will, in a short time, become as " wise as serpents and harmless as doves." The events of the past year show unmistakeably that the Government of India, if it is the wish of England to retain that as part of her vast Colonial Empire, must take the administration of its public affairs out of the hands of the East India Company. Hindostan must be annexed to the British CroWn. Had this been so, it is not too much to say, that the recent enzutes, and the terrific atrocities by which they were followed, would not have occurred. Be this as it may, it is satisfactory to know that Ministers will be enabled to meet Parliament with a most encouraging and satis factory recapitulation of the past progress achieved by the British army in India. They can tell the nation's representatives, that with the mere aid of onr military outposts in A frica, and the Mauritius, we have been enabled to crush the Indian rebels in all their strolls.- holds, and open up the way for fresh and decisive victories. They can point to the annihilation of the mock King of Delhi, the relief of Lucknow, the dispersion of a thousand bands of mutinous Sepoys—the embarkation of 40,000 troops from the shores of Britain—the general loyalty of the Indian population, and the gradual decline of the rebellion, now merely flickering at numerous points of extensive territory over which it blazed in July with scorching fury, dealing out death and destruction, and throwing down, far and wide, its deficient and ferocious challenges. It is these gratifying results which enable Govern ment to meet Parliament with confidence. On the two great questions mooted above, may the deliberations of the Legislature be guided by a spirit of wisdom, moderation, and good-will. • WE, yesterday, laid before our readers full particulars ofthe news brought by the OVerland Mail. From these details it will have been . 4 .1 - - observed that notwithstandinethe-complete occu pation of Delhi, and the relief of Lucknovr, the mutiny was assuming a desperate form in the Kingdom of Oude. In that portion only of the British Possessions in India has the people exhi bited symptoms of disaffection and rebellion. It will be perceived that although the garrison at Lucknow[had been rescued from a terrible fate by the courageous and distinguished HavEr.ocK and his truly gallant army, the enemy were undis mayed, and hovered around his camp in prodigi ous numbers, like an army of vultures, ready to pounce upon their prey the moment they obtained a chance. General OUTRAM felt that he was not in a position to leave Lucknow, owing to the great number of insurgents who sur rounded him on every side. Added to this, he had-to contend with another serious encumbrance —the great number of wounded, besides women and children—upwards of one thousand helpless beings. General OUTRAM'S intentions were to relieve the beleaguered city, destroy the enemy' works as far as possible, and then march back upon Cawnpore, so as to keep the main road open until he had obtained large reinforcements, Ere the complete liberation of Lucknow could be effected, General OUTRAM required two addi tional brigades and some powerful field artillery. We regret to perceive that General .FlavELocK's position was very critical ; for, it is alleged, that he was . surrounded with a hostile population, and had to provide' for the safety and security of considerable numbers of woMen and children. We fear there must have been great lack of energy, or else reinforcements might have been forward at Lucknow ere the departure of the mail. The much vaunted Naval Brigade, and the powerful sixty-eight pounders, seem too long in getting to the scene of action —another corrobative proof that Lord CANNING and his subordinates are by no means the active and energetic personages Lord PALMERSTON and his colleagues would have us believe. Be this as it may, the news we published yesterday lead us to believe that the relief of Lucknow is an accom plished fact. If that heroic band, a mere handful in numbers, resisted with complete success the combined efforts of an immense army of mutineers, there is little doubt that, with HAVELOCK and a thousand additional English men among them, the defeated Sepoys of Oude will get a drubbing they little dreamt of. NENA SAHIB, who still heads the rabble camp of mutineers, feeling that he was unable to cope with the English forces, had sent, some fortnicrht 0 or so before Generals NEILL and HAVELOCK attacked his entrenchment, to the insurrectionary camp at Gwalior for assistance, but it was refused, as not a man could be spared from that quarter. But there are other items of very encouraging news by the present mail. The operations of the Mahrata Maharaja Scindiah continued of great ♦alue to the British cause. Ten thousaad armed Thahoos, in co-operation with the contingent, had cut off the supplies of the seditious batallions, and to all appearance compelled them to submit. Besides this, we learn that the rebellion at Ramghur has been suppressed, Major ENGLISH , and a force under his command, having attacked and routed them at the village of Chuttarah with much loss of life, ainunition, and guns This, we are told, was a severely contested action, and cost much life and blood to the gallant defenders of British supremacy in India. From most other parts of India the intelligence are far from discouraging or unsatisfactory. The complete fall of Delhi appears to have checked with considerable effect the rebellious disposition of wavering troops in the Bombay Presidency, and induced them to pause before engaging with the irresistible power of England. We can well fancy with what feeling of chagrin, mingled with fear, the news of the fall of Delhi, the ancient capital of the Moguls, would be received in Bombay, and all other quarters dis posed to aid the mutineers. The fact of all the British Generals assembling in the Imperial Palace at Delhi, and drinking, in the name of Her Majesty, Queen Victoria, success to the supremacy, and the loud and enthusiastic cheers with which the toast was hailed, even by the gallant Goorkha's representatives, of one of the most warlike races in the East, is a grati fying evidence that England can and will reign supreme in Hindostan. We read that all the city people found in Delhi were bayoneted by the British troops ; and it is added that Europeans were found fight ing by the side of the mutineers. We can hardly credit it that women and children were included in this deed of butchery. England has com mented with severity upon the Cawnpore mas• sacra, and surely her brave soldiers would not disgrace their nation and their name to imitate atrocities which Lord PALMERSTON stigmatised as the wark of demons from the mouth of hell. We cannot believe the story. Nevertheless, it is one that requires to be cleared up—and we trust that the next mail will place us in possession of such intelligence as will enable us to denounce the averment as a concoction of the enemy, entirely destitute of the least foundation. Siould there be the slightest ground for the accusation, the general who sanctioned such conduct will find himself in a grave and truly disagreeable posi tion. No amount of military glory, however brilliantly achieved, could stand before the loud and univ.eigal shouts of indignation, which the Liut, ur LUIS cJuutry, nut every Lana of civilization would raise. While it is our pleasing duty to congratulate the country on the success that has attended our arms at Delhi and Lucknow, as well as in the other minor engagements which have taken place, we must not rest too confident that we have now but comparatively little more to do in India. The reinforcements now on their way to the seat of war, will find plenty to do in recovering Oude from the rebels, and withdrawing from Lucknow, in pursuing and cutting up the rebels under NENA SAHIB, no less than fifty thousand having surrounded Lucknow and its environs, in effecting the entire destruction of the fugitive rebels who have escaped from Delhi, and in generally tranquilizing the country from one end to the other. To do all this, is not only work of time, but of labour and great expense. Taking all the great facts accomplished into considera tion, there is reason to hope that we have seen the worst, and that when Parliament assembles, ministers will be enabled to announce that the rebellion has been completely crushed. RUMOURED VISIT OF THE PRINCESS ROYAL TO CROXTETU. A rumour was prevalent yesterday evening, that the Princess Royal had arrived at Croxteth Hall, West Derby on a visit to the Dowager Countess of Sefton and lAdy Molyneux. We made inquiry at the Railway station, but the officials there did not know anything of the visiz of this dieting iished lady, and were rather surprised that they were ignorant of such a circumstance. Our represen tative then applied to the guard who came by the train that was said to have brought her Royal Highness, but it was the first intimation that he had heard of it. Not feeling quite satisfied, he went to West Darby, and made inquiry there, and was informed that her Royal Highness had not honoured the noble house of Sefton with her presence. It appeared that a party of noble lords had arrived at the Hall, on a shooting excur4ion—but how this could have originated a rumour that the Princess Royal was amongst them, we know not. It was stated to our reporter (rather ironically, certainly) that her Royal Higness might possibly visit (some time) a neighbouring Earl. The time was not specified. ACCIDENT TO SIR M. F. BERKELEY.—The gallant successor to Berkeley Castle met with an accident one day last week, which, but for the courage of the coachman, might have been attended with the most disastrous con sequences. The gallant admiral, Capt Probyn, and one or two other friends, were ping out for a day's shooting , and got into a break, drawn by two horses, intending to ride to the scene of operations. When the horses had got down the hill leading from the street at Berkeley to the Castle, the driver pulled the rein for the horses to take the road through the town. The horses, however, probably from not having been worked lately, turned in the opposite direction towards the well-known kennels and stables. In trying to pull them round both reins broke, and the horses dashed off at a furious pace. The coachman however, jumped upon the back of one of the excited steeds, and getting hold of the broken reins he pulled the animals up. We hear that Capt. Probyn jumped out of the break, and was badly shaken and bruised, but the Admiral, as he afterwards said, " stuck to his ship," and escaped.—Bristol Mercury. The greater number of the persons who passed last week at the palace of Compiegne has now left. Fresh invitations were issued to several other persons of distinction. Among the number who have arrived are Count Kisseleff, the Russian Ambassador, who proceeded to Compeigae immediately after arriving in Paris ; M. Troplong, President of the Senate ; M. Rouland, 'Minister of Public Instruction ; Marshal the Duke of Malakoff, Count de Hatzfeldt, the Prussian Minister and the Countess ; Prince de Reuss VII., Lord and Lady Wilton and their daughter, Lady Egerton ; M. Laity, senator ; and the Duke and Duchess de Cambaceres. The approaching marriage of the young Prince Radz I will with Mdlle. Sophie Dulcken, a skilful pianist, is announced. The Prince belongs to one of the most illustrious families of Poland, and is possessor of a very large fortune. - AMUSEMENTS, &c. MR, E. W. THOMAS'S SHILLING CONCERTS AT THE PHILHARMONIC HALL, We remind our readers that Mr. E. W. Thomas's excellent concerts are approaching their termination for the season. To-morrow will be the last morning perfor mance but one. On Saturday the last concert will be given, and we hope we shall be able to say that our enterprising townsman has been remunerated for his exertions to provide intellectual gratification, at a cheap rate, for the people. Let those who have the subject of education of the masses on their lips, carry their principles into practice, and support Mr. Thomas in his efforts in the same direction. This is his fifth season. One season not only paid his expenses, but gave him a satisfactory remuneration ; showing that there is nothing inherently wrong in his calculations. L-A this season, short as it is, be a second instance of success, that he may be induced to renew his effort 3 another year in spite of his repeated losses on former occasions. We (Atheneum) are told that Madame Golds.ihmidt has reconsidered her farewell intentions by singing at Loipsic. Signor Plata is making a concert tour in Germany, which leaves us poor during his absents in the first-class violon cAlists. On such occasions we ought to be able to fall back on the Academy for assistaace. LEWIS AND COMPANY'S NBA' ESTABLISHMENT FOR BOYS' C LOT HING. —Number of boys clothed for week • ending Saturday, November 14th, 650; corresponding week last year, 381 ; increase, 260 boys. NEw Omsnaussns.—Yesterday, two new 'busses were exhibited in our streets. These vehicles are after the plan of the London saloon busses, and are beautifully got up. Oa the outside the passengers sit face to face on one por tion, and back to back in another. They attracted much attention, and were surrounded by crowds of people in Castle-street. They are for the Garston station. MADAME ANNIE AND TII E GERM AN GtaLs.—Detective Officer S:nith stated, on Saturday, that Madame Annie had brought over three girls with her from Germany, and that he was going in search of them. It appears that he found two of them in an improper house. One speaks a lade English, the other nene. It seems they are to be kept here until the trial of the Madame, should their evidence become necessary. They seem anxious now to return to their oven couniry. LOUIS NAPOL RON IN TROUBLE.—Amongst a batch of H drunk and disordrlies," brought np before Mr. Mans 6eld, yesterday Iron-dug, was one Louis Napoleon, who had imbibed too much fermented liquor the previous evening. Whether his . worship had any veneration for the name, or whether poor Louis had suffered enough by the Licarceration of sums twenty-four hours (like his name sake at Ham), for his indiscretion, certain it is that he was discharged, but if; is questionable (very) if he will attain the eminence of his fortunate namesake—but who knows? PLUNDER AT WEST DERBY.—Yesferclay morning, at an early hour, an old man was taken into custody on the West Derby-read, with a large quantity of tradestnens' tools in his possession, and about 40 lb?. of solder, which ha carried in a hod on his shoulder. The police, thinking that these things were in a place that they ought not to be, made some enquirie, which not being answered satHac tcrily, they arrested the old man, and subsequently it was found that the articles were stolen from a new building on E iton-road, belonging to Mr. Ramsey. The man was committed. THE Sovi:.nniGNs OF Euttorm—The Alinanack de Gotha, of 1358, which has just appeared, contain', the names of 47 emperors, kings, princes, and grand dukes, and dukes reigui , •ig in E ;rope, as well as the Emperor of the Brazils. The oldest of the soverigns is the Grand Duke of Meeklen t—, whn woo horn nn filet 19111 of A ngnet, 1770; and next to him the King 'of Wurenaburg, brrn on the 27 hof S.rptember, 1784. Toe prince who has had the longest reign is the Prince of Schaurnbourg-Lippe, the date of his acceszien, when quite a child, being the 15th of February, 1788. The Youngest princes are the King of Portugal, born the 16th of S'ptember, 1837, and the Duke of Pa-ma (represented by his mother as regent), on the 9.h of July, 1840. RNILWAY ACCIDENT.—A serious accidlnt occurred to a working man, named John APoway, on the railway at the Birkenhead docks, at a:: early hour on Sunday morning. It appeared that the unfortunate man, who was employed by the Great Western Railway Company, left his work at four o'clock on Saturday afternoon. At six o'clock he visited the station, to see a brother-in-law, with whom he remained a short time. Nothing further was heard of him until Sunday morning, about one o'clock, when, upon soma waggons being shifted by an engine on the line, the screams of a man were beard, and the poor fellow was then found in a dreadfully mutilated state. He had been lying on the rails, and upon the waggons being shifted they had gone over bis legs, which were crushed in a shocking man ner. He was removed to the hospital, in Hamilton-street, in a state of insensibility, and was unable to make any statement as to whore he had been frori six o'clocl: on Saturday evening until the time he was found. Upon being admitted into the hospital, it was Fuipected that he had been drinking. Yesterday ho was in a very precarious state from the injuries that he received, and but slight hopes are entertained of his roc >very. PASSENGERS per R.M.S. " Earope," J.

LITERARY AND PHILOSOPHICAL S CIETY.—The metal periodical meeting of the members of this society was held at the Theatre of the Royal Insqtute, CAT - lift-street. Dr. Inman, the President of the society, occupied the chair, There was a good attendance of the members present. The Hon. Secretary, Dr. Thompson, having read the minutes of the last meeting, the President expressed a wish to be allowed to mention a subjec', which had bean mooted by several members, and which would, in all pro bability, be brought before the Council. It was, that the tea and refreshments should be hed at the commencement of the meetings, instead of at the termination; it was, he understood, so in other societies, and as the Council did not wish to do any act that might be antagonistic to the feelings of any of the members, he would suggest, that an opinion, as that wag a large gathering, should be expressed on the subject. Tile Hon. Secretary said, that if that course was adopted, it would be necessary to meet at half past six o'clock, as, by the present lae-, they were bound to commence the rapers of the evening at eight o'clock. It was understood that the subject would be left in the hands of the Council. The following gentlemen were then unanimously elected members of the society : —Mr. Alder man Cooper, Professor Elliot, G. Ty:tab:ars, Esq , and Don Emanuel Etches. The Hon. Secretary then announced that the Proceedings of the Society were in the hands of the deliverer, and each member, he hoped, would receive a copy in a few days; but he would state that each member who had contribated any papers, would be entitled to two extra copies. A vote of thanks was returned to the Roy , l Society of Edinburgh, and to the Lineal Society, for the reports of the proceedings of each of those learned bodies. Mr. Byerley exhibited and presented to the museum a fine specimen of the cidaris :papilosa, found on the south coast of Ireland last summer, and also a locust, found at Li,:card. The Rev. Mr. Roberts then directed attention to some verses, by Dr. Hereshel, a specimen of which he read. There being 'no other miscellaneous business, Professor Hamilton delivered a very highly-scientific lecture on the " Composition of Rotatory Motion," explanatory of the principles, and which was illastraced by a number of diagrams and interes'ing experiments. A brief conversa tion followed, after which a vote of thanks was accorded to Professor Hamilton. and the business of the evening was brought to a conclusion. TELEGRAPHIC NEWS.
