not be found, and the "policeman from London"
threatening to give the proprietor of the house into
custody if anything were found in the chest which
did not bear his name and crest. The examination
of the house and its contents having been completed,
some Madeira was ordered, and the pretended
policeman remained till s late hour in the house, the
female members of the family being grateful to their
visitor for the manner in which he had performed
what they felt convinced must be to him at all times
a most disagreeable duty. On leaving Dawlith the
fellow had the cool audacity to call at the police-
station and request the police of the town to keep a
sharp look-out on the house which he had just plun-
dered, and in which be had been so generously
treated. Handbills have been issued by Mr. Field,
tittering a reward for the apprehension of this un-
principled representative, who is stated to be well
known to some of the detectives. [tie believed
that the same individual who visited Dawlith
recently obtained from a nobleman in Portland-place,
to whom he represented himself as Inspector Field,
and stated that his son was in extreme difficulty, a
check for £5O. This check, it appears, was made
payable to " Mr. Field or order ; and when pre-
sented at the banker's it was necessary that the
check should be endorsed. The would-be inspector,
without thinking of the consequences, made the
endorsement when asked to do so on presenting the
check, and has thus exposed himself to the penalties
of forgery.—Hunt and Rotate say they "are re-
quested by Miss Constance Brown, our customer, to
state that she never resided or even visited at
Dawlieli in her life, and that the suggestion .of a
robbery having been committed at her residence in
Dawlish by e person assuming the character of
Inspector Field is utterly untrue and without founda-
tion. We have been informed that a man represent-
ing himself to be Inepetor Field went to a boarding-
house in Dawlish, formerly kept by Louisa Moutfit,
the person who, it will be remembered, under the
assumed name of Miss Constance Brown, robbed us
of our goods, for which she was tried and convicted
at the last session of the Central Criminal Court, and
that the sham Inspector Field took possession of her
(Moutat's goods).

west from the Bay of Biscay, and put into Corunna.

immediately on receipt of telegraphic instructions
from Madrid. Captain Coles left the corvette at
Corunna, whence he sailed on Saturday evening.

THURSDAY.

The EARL of DERBY announced that important des-
patches had that morning been received from India, in-
cluding Sir J. Outrain's recommendations in reference
to the proclamation in Oude which had been the subject
of so much discussion; and also Lord Canning's reasons
for issuing the proclamation in the form in which it
appeared. Under ordinary circumstances he should have
thought it doubtful whether papers containing a discus-
sion between two high officers of the Crown in India on
matters of policy should at present be communicated to
Parliament ; but as the despatches had already been laid
before the Court of Directors, and as the course taken by
Lord Canning had excited great comment, it would be
most unjust to him not to place before Parliament, in
his own language, the reasons that induced him to issue
the proclamation. The papers would be laid on the
table on Friday.
Earl GRANVILLE remarked that the House adjourned
to-morrow for the holidays and if the papers were not
communicated before the time stated there could be no
discussion upon them.
After a short conversation,
The Earl of DERBY, in order to insure the delivery of
the papers as early as possible, made the formal motion
for their production, which was agreed to.
Their Lordships then adjourned.

TURKEY.

.
The Montenegrin question, says the Times corns-
pondent, can hardly lead to any serious complication.
The Powers have guaranteed the integrity of the
Turkish Empire, and, if the treaty of March is binding,
that integrity must be maintained. After the Turks had
been defeated on the 13th, they were in such haste to
get out of the reach of the mountaineers that they threw
down their muskets and ran away as fast as they pout-
bly could. The Turkish corps originally consisted of
about 4,000 or 5,000 men, and there is reason to believe
that not more than half that number managed to get
away unscathed. On expressing to a military man of
rank my surprise that the Turks displayed so little
courage, he made the following reinarks :—" It does not
follow that the Turks who gave 'leg hail ' (durchgingen)
at Gridley° have less courage than those who fought at
Kalafat and Oltenitia. They were rashly led into a
country with which their commander was not ac-
quainted, and when they were unexpectedly attacked in
flank and rear by their enemies a panic seised them, and
they behaved exactly an a crowd, of undisciplined men
would do under similar cirouinstances."

SARDINIA.

TURIN, May 16.

The question of the loan has been made, as was ex-
pected, a choral de butaille by the Right of the
Chamber. They have joined issue upon it, and have
vigorously engaged in the combat. In fact, this, as far
as it has yet gone, has been an opposition debate.
Nearly all the speaking has been by members of the Con-
servative party, or, as their political opponents usually
call thou the Retrogrades—a name which, however
justly it may bo applied to a few members of the En'
reins right, cannot be justly given to the main body of
the party, of which, for matance, Count Revel is a
member. They think that enough has been dune for
the present, that the country should be allowed breath-
ing time, and, above all, they desire to see a change in
the financial policy of the Government. They think
that too much is sacrificed to what is known as the
Italian idea—to the idea, that is to say, of expelling the
foreigner and keeping Italy for the Italians. They
would retrench in order to re-establish the financial
equilibrium, which they maintain to be far more
seriously disturbed than Government estimates show.
They would if they were in power, and if they could
obtain the consent of the warlike Victor Emmanuel,
reduce the army, as one very effectual means of reduc-
ing the expenditure. The mere mention of this calls
this Ministerialists, And what may emphatically be
termed the " Italian " party, to arms, and throws them
into a fever of indignation. They look upon the Pied-
montete army as the main hope of their cause. They
would not spare a corporal or dispense with a single
drummer. Tax, retrench, borrow, do what you will,
but the army must be kept up at the highest point of
efficiency possible, and in numbers which certainly
render it a burden this little country can iil afford.

THE CALCUTTA MAIL

The following telegram has just been received from
Malta, dated Saturday, May 22 :—Telegrams from offi-
cers at Allaliabad confirm the intelligence of the relief
of Azimghur by Sir Edward Lugard on the 15th of

CHINA.

The Pays announces, on the faith of letters from
China of the 30th of March, that in consequence of des-
patches which he had received from Calcutta, Lord
Elgin, after consulting with his allies, had decided on
sending one of the English regiments to India as soon
as the first reinforcements should arrive from France,
and which were expected about the end of April or the
beginning of May. There existed some discrepancy of
opinion between Baron Gros and Lord Elgin, the former
advocating the adoption of much stronger measures for
coercing the Government at Pekin than the latter seemed
inclined to adopt.

Somerottobire.

TauNvon.—The death of a post•boy engaged at
the Castle Hotel stables occurred on Monday morn-
ing under rather peculiar circumstances. 'The per-
son alluded to is a young man named Dyer. He was
engaged to go to the Wesleyan College, on the Trull
road, very early on Monday morning, to take some
of the scholars to the railway station, to meet the 3
o'clock morning mail. The tly was so loaded that
Dyer had scarcely room enough to sit and drive.
When the vehicle neared the town from the school
no driver was observed. He had apparently been
jerked off his seat, as he was ' found some way back,
almost in a state of insensibility, although, strange to
say, showing no external injuries. One or two boxes
were also found in the road. The impression of those
who found Dyer WM that he was intoxicated, and he
was accordingly removed in a wheelbarrow to the
hotel stables fs Castle-green, where he was suffered
to remain for several hours. At length medical aid
was sought, when the poor fellow was prOllolll2Ced to
be in s dying state, bavinE it is supposed, received
severe internal injuries. He died in the course of
the morning.

MONTENEGRO.

The lamentable conflicts which have followed the
entrance of the Turkish troops into the territory of
Graliovo have induced the Government of the Emperor,
and the Powers which have hastened to act in the same
sense, to take new measures with the Ottoman Porte.
The Government of His Majesty the Sultan, paying
deference to these counsels, sent on the 14th Inst. a
formal order to his Cosnmissary and to the eommander
of his forces to suspend hostilities. There is, therefore,
every reason to hope that, thanks to the common efforts
of the Powers and to the disposition manifested by the
Ottoman Government, this affair will soon be brought to
an amicable solution.

Serious apprehensions were entertained at Leghorn on

days numerous patrols were sent out and extraordinary
precautions taken.
The King of Naples has refused the demand of in-
demnity for Park and Watt. Much speculation exists
as to what England will do. Hopes, although very
faint ones, are entertained that Admiral Lyons will be

CITY OF LIMERICK ELECTlON.—Limerick, May 17.
The city has been in a state of the greatest confusion
for the last few days. Last night a desperate mob from
the Irish-town, with stones and bludgeons, broke in the
windows of several houses; the magistrates investigated
several of the cases this day, and in the majority of them
it appears that the persons whose houses were thus at-
tacked were supporters of Mr. Spraight. Tide day the
high sheriff, Dr. Kane, made • proclamation in the
Court-house, to the effect that the election is to coin-
inane. on Friday, when the nomination takes place, and
the polling on Monday. The result of the contest con-
tinues doubtful, and even disinterested persons are un-
able to hazard an opinion. Mr. Ball has retired from
the contest on Friday; Mr. Speight will probably,
therefore, have a walk over.
THE NORTH-WEST COAST OF IRELAND.—London-
derry, May 20.—The ship Monhogo, from New Orleans,
arrived this morning. The captain reports having seen
4 fishing boats, keel upwards, during the fearful gale of
Tuesday when off the coast of Ennishowen. These boats
are known to have gone out to sea that morning, the
weather being then comparatively fine. A fifth boat was
also capsized near the same pidoe on Tuesday. On the
whole it is thought nearly 45 men and others have lost
their lives. The pilot boat was stove in alongside the
Monhogo and the pilot with difficulty saved.

NEW REPRESENTATIVE PEER OF SCOTLAND.—The
election of a new representative Peer of Scotland, in
the room of the late Earl of Morton, has been delayed
until a second proclamation can be issued to remedy a
defect in the date, which, under an Act of Parliament
passed so lately as 18M, would have made the election
invalid.

THE ORGAN 41JESTION IN THE PRESBYTERIAN
CHUROH.—At the United Presbyterian Synod, now sit-
ting in Edinburgh, the organ question was again dis-
cussed last week. Certain memorials from Glasgow
churches led to the dissuasion, which terminated in the
majority of the Synod re-affirming its former decision
prohibiting the use of organs, and declaring that this
decision was applicable to congregational prayer meet-
ings on week-days as well as Sunday services.
A Toumi OF NATURE.—Soine gentlemen, passing
through the village of Renton, Dumbartonshire, a few
evenings ago, had their attention directed to a dark ob-
ject in the churchyard. On going to ascertain what it
was, they found • boy of tender years lying fiat on his
face, and apparently sound 'Bleep over a recently made
grave. Thinking this was not a safe bed for him, they
awakened him and asked how he came to be there? He
said he was afraid to go home, u his sister, with whom
he resided, had threatened to beat him. "And where
does your sister live ?" asked one of the party. "In
Dumbarton," was the answer. "In Dumbarton—nearly
four miles off ! And how came you to wander so far
away from home?" "I just cam'," sobbed the poor
little fellow, " because my mither's grave was here."
His mother had been buried there a short time before,
and his Reeking • refuge at her grave in his sorrow was
• beautiful touch of nature in a child who could have
scarcely yet learnt to realise the true character of
the separation.
DREADFUL GUNPOWDER EXPLOBION.—SIE LIVES

place in one of the store and dusting houses. One of the
survivors, whose duty it was to see everything in order,
had visited the house and found all right not more than
• few minutes before the explosion occurred. The
destruction of property is trilling.

the erection of the new church in St. James's-lane,
to which a separate district has been assigned, lias con-
tributed towards it the sum of £3,ooo—viz., £l,OOO

Pennington Church is to be entirely rebuilt, on a
large scale, through the exertions of the Rev. W.
Lambert. The new church will be built hicher up
the Common than the present one, which will be
pulled down; but the burial ground will still be
used for interments.
RINGWOOD.—The members of the Ringwood
Cricket Club met on Thursday, and played an excel-

CHRIATCHURCH.— Vales of Avon and Stour Farm-

place on Monday. The business of the day com-
menced by arranging and deciding on the premiums
to be offered for root crops for the ensuing season, as
extra prizes are to be given, after which Mr. Bone
read his may on "Autumn Cultivation." Mr. Bone
has fur many years practised a system which has
proved very successful, and he gave a full description
of its process and successful results on his farm. A
very animated discussion followed, several members
being opposed to the system, but after some scien-
tific arguments had been adduced, the following
resolution was carried "That the system of
Autumn cultivation discreetly followed tends to
decrease the total amount of labour and expense, and
is therefore calculated to be greatly advantageous to
the farmer."

WOOL MARKET.

A farther rather considerable decline has taken place
In the value of all kinds of English wool; and the
market is in a depressed state, arising in some mesaure
from the large quantities of foreign and colonial quali-
ties which continue to be forced for sale. The supply
of English wool here is by no means extensive.

DEATH Ole ADMIRAL DowssmsB.—This venerable
flag officer died on Monday last, at his seat in Hemp.
shire, aged 95 years. He entered the navy in October,
1776, and while serving as midshipman in the Arethusa
was wrecked while in pursuit of an enemy's frigate off
the island of Moulines, when he wee taken prisoner and
detained nearly twelve months in France. He after-
wards served with distinction in some of the chief naval
engagements under Sir John Jervis, and was present,
under Sir Home Popham, at the seduction of the Cape
of Good Hope. His commission bore date as follows:
Lieutenant, March 5, 1790; commander, July 26, 1797;
captain, Dec. 26, 1798; rear-admiral, May 27, 1829;
vice-admiral, Jan. 10, 1837; and admiral, April 21, 1847.
The gallant admiral was one of the reserved flag officers
in the receipt of service pension. He had received the
naval medal and two clasps for the defeat of the Spanish
fleet of Cape St. Vincent, and for the expedition to
Egypt in 1801.

Captain Sir Baldwin Wake Walker, Bark, K.C.8.,
Surveyor of the Navy, being the next senior eligible for
promotion to the active list, becomes rear-admiral of
the blue, by the death of Admiral Downunan.
Toe LASH.—Agreeably to an Admiralty order re-
ceived at Chatham by Colonel E. A. Parker, command-
ant of that division of Royal Marine Light Infantry, the
whole of the troops attached to the divisional head-
quarters were on Friday morning drawn up at the rear
of their barracks, for the purpose of witnessing the in-
flection of oorporal punishment on Private John Wil-
liams, 6th company, who was adjudged by sentence of a
district court-martial to receive fifty lashes for having
been absent from barracks and selling his kit. Although
the prisoner has been only twelve months in the corps
of the Royal Marines, he bears a moat incorrigible
character, having been tried four times by court-martial
and sentenced to various punishments. His demeanour
during the infliction of the punishment was most
hardened. The prisoner was afterwards removed
to the Melville Hospital for medical treatment. A con-
siderable period has elapsed since corporal punishment
was inflicted at the Chatham division of Royal Marines.

INDIA AND CHINA.

DEATH OF GENERAL HAVELOCK.

MALTA, Jan. 6, 1 P.N.

The following is the political intelligence by the
Nubia, which reached Suez, Jan. 1, 1838 :
From Her Britannia Majesty's Vice-Consul, Suez, to
Acting• Consul General Green, Alexandria.
General Havelock died on the 25th of November
from dysentery, brought on by exposure and anxiety.
On the 27th of November an affair took place near
Cawnpore bet seen General Windham and his division
and the Gwalior mutineers, in which the British troops
retreated, with the total lose of the tents of the 64th,
82d, and 88th Regiments, 3,030 in number, which were
burnt by the enemy. The 64th Regiment is reported
nearly cut up.
A message received by the Governor-General from
Sir Colin Campbell, of the 7th of December, contains an
account of an action fought by him with the Gwalior
Contingent, near Cawnpore, in which the latter were
totally defeated, with the loss of 16 guns, 26 carriages of
diffeient sorts, an immense quantity of ammunition,
stores, grain, bullocks, and the whole of the baggage of
the force. The British loss was insignificant, one officer
only being killed—Lieutenant Salmon.
All the women and children, sick, dm., from Lucknow
have arrived safety at Allahabad.
The Calcutta Gazette Extraordinary contains an in-
teresting detailed account of the defence of Lucknow,
being the official report of Brigadier Inglis. The priva-
tions endured by the heroic garrison, and particularly by
the ladies, were fearful
Colonel Rooke, 19th Regiment, died at Calcutta from
cholera on the 30th November, and Captain Day, of the
64th, is repoited killed at Cawnpore.
The following regiments have arrived at Calcutta:—
The Bth Regiment, 87th, 79th Highlanders, 7th Hussars,
2nd Dragoon Guards, 3rd Battalion Rifle Brigade, and
a detachment of Artillery.
Very little news from China. The Adelaide, with the
last detachment of 600 Marines on board, passed on from
Singapore on the 2nd of December, and an attack on
Canton woe expected to take place on their arrival.
This telegram arrived at Malta by Her Majesty's
steam vessel Caradoc at noon on the 6th of January.

FRANCE.

The Indelpendanee Beige publishes the following
telegram from Paris, dated 4th instant. We give it
with due reserve:—" Despatches have been sent to
Rear-Admiral Rigault de Genouilly to prevent the
Fremdi troops under his orders in Chins from acting in
consort with the English troops against the Celestial
Empire. The 500 men recently sent to reinforce the
squadron have another destination. It appears that
demonstration is to be made against Tourane, • town of
Cochin China, ceded to France in 1787, but newer taken
possession of by her. A Council of Ministers has been
convoked, under the presidency of the Emperor, to
discuni the question of sending out additional reinforce-
ments, and the part likely to be taken by the Spanish
Government in the expedition, which is cowed by the
persirmtion of some of its subjects in the Em pire of
Cochin China."

(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)

MARK-LANE, MONDAY, JAN. 11.

The aupphea of wheat at our market to-day
Nero moderate.

Tra le in wheat was quiet, and prices two
shillings lower.

Barley, one shilling more money.
Oats sixpence dearer.

HARK-LANE CORN EXCHANGE.

Farbar, Jaw. B.—The quantity of English wheat re-
ceived fresh up to-day, coastwise and by land carriage,
was ; consequently, the show of samples was
small. For most kinds we had • steady, but by no
means active, demand, and Monday's advance in tho
quotations was well supported. Nearly 12,000 quarters
of foreign wheat have come fresh to hand, this week.
Good heavy samples ruled steady, at full prices; but
inferior qualities were neglected. There was a fair
demand for both barley and malt, and prices were well
supported. The show of oats was limited. Most kinds
were in ropiest, and the turn dearer. In beans and
peas, very little was passing, on former terms. We had
a fair demand for flour, and Norfolk qualities were
rather higher than on Monday.

WIMBORNE.

The Rev. W. Barnes, B.D. gives a lecture this
evening (Tuesday), on the "Beautiful and Art," in
connection with the Wimborne Minster Society for
the diffusion of useful knowledge.
THE MINSTER CRINFA.—One delightful way by
which the inhabitants of this town are daily re-
minded of the restoration of our majestic Minster, is
the pleasant and sweet sound at regular intervals of
the Chimes. Not one still recurring air only is heard,
but the goodly collection of six agreeable melodies
regularly and euphoniously tell us of Time's onward
tread. So that we are not, if we could be, bounded
even by the ltalian'a luxurious rule, emblazoned on
his sundial, to the effect that our time passes only
when all is bright and happy, for the whole four and
twenty hours course round to the tintinnabulating
of " Home, sweet Home," "Life let us cherish,"
"My lodging is on the cold ground," "Rule Britan-
nia," "The blue bells of Scotland," and "Hanover."
Although the titles of some of these tunes speak of
distant lands, we are so independent and eclectic that
the plan and the work—winch already declare their
own excellence—and the small expense will doubtless
be also, the result of local effort solely. The design
is by Mr. John Brown, a townsman, who as clerk of
works so ably carried out the renovation of the
venerable and sacred edifice; the artificer is the
Wimborne smith; and the cost, which will not
amount to £lOO, is being collected by that energetic
gentleman, Mr. Churchwarden Lewer. And in order
that this "thing of beauty" may be " a joy for ever,"
we add that the barrel is made of that durable
material east•iron. .

GANG OF TH/EVES.-It has been discovered that
a well known leader of a gang of thieves is, with his
staff, "planting" his design in this and the ad-
joining town. The police are cognizant of the fact,
and the parties are well known to them, the leader
himself being recently returned from transportation
on ticket of leave. _ . _

ST. GlLEa's.—On the 6th instant Benjamin Perry,
Benjamin John Perry, and James Perry were placed
before James Baskett, Faq., charged with taking
creases growing round a pond in the park of Lord
Shaftesbury at four o'clock in the afternoon. The
parties were known to the police as distinguished at
"Seven Dials," but for want of legal proof of felo-
tliOUß intention the men were dismissed with a
caution. _ _

Hucrmg MARTELL.—The lord-lieutenant of this
county, the Rt. Hon. the Earl of Shaftesbury, enter-
tained 104 of the labourers, men, women, and chil-
dren, on his estate at Chalbnry, and in this parish at
dinner on New Year's-day, at our school-house.
The Earl, at the conclusion of the feast, suitably ad-
dressed the assembly, and he was followed by Lord
Ashley. Lady Ashley and Lady Victoria Ashley
were present, as well as his excellency Count
d'Azeglio, the Sardinian minister, who is at ?resent
visiting the Earl of Shaftesbury, at St. Giles a.
