of them dead. She then jumped into a well, and
was killed. From fear of what this girl had done,
none of the rebels would have anything to say to the
English women, whom the Nana at first proposed to
give to the soldiers ; 115 women and children were
imprisoned with scarcely any food for six days, except
gram and such stuff. The boat containing General
Wheeler and other ladies and gentlemen got off for
twenty-two miles, when they were seized by the
zemiudars of Joagnuhar, and had their hands tied
behind them, and were taken back to the Nana. Mrs.
Read, Thomas Greenway, Mrs. Kirkpatrick, Mrs.
M'Kenzie, and Captain Mackenzie, and Dr. Harris
and several Europeans were among the party. The
Nana was much pleased; owing to the general's old
age, he said, Loosen his arms.' Hoolar Singh,
Kotwal of Cawnpore, said,' Don't do so.' The Nana
said, ' Take them to the guard, and let the
others remain where they are.' One sepoy and
sower killed each an European. Dr. Harris was
wounded with two balls, and then addressed the
rebels, ' Shoot me, or kill me ; my countrymen will
revenge my death before long.' Two sowers then
cut him down, and he died. If the zemindars
bad not seized this boat, all would have been saved
in it. Those ladies who were first in the Nana's
prison had their food of the worst description from
the bazaar. Ten days after this he sent them to a
house near the Assembly Rooms. Then the Nana
wrote to Delhi mentioning the number of women and
children which he had taken, and soliciting instruc-
tions regarding them. A reply was received that
they were not to be killed. The Nana then enter-
tained servants for the prisoners. Again, shortly
after the mutiny at Allahabad, a sower came in, and
reported that one of the imprisoned ladies had
written to Allahabad, and that a large body of Euro-
peans was advancing on Cawnpore. Then the Nana
gave the older to kill every one, to spare no one.
This took place on the 15th of July, but the general
and others who were brought back with him were
killed on the 2nd of the month. When the ladies
heard of the Nana's order to kill them, they tore their
clothes, and with the shreds fastened the doors.
First the sowers killed the native doctor, the cook,
and the metranee. Then one sower jumped over
the wall and began the slaughter ; other sowers
came through the doors, and all the prisoners were
killed. This was duly reported to the Nana, who
ordered the bodies to be cast into a well, and the
twenty five women and children who had remained
alive under the heap of dead bodies were killed by
executioners, and some of the little children were
dashed to pieces against the ground. This took
place early on the morning of the 17th of July, and
in the evening the Nana ran off to Bhitoor. Many
wounded women were thrown into the well, with the
dead bodies and earth. Before the Nana retreated
he blew up the magazine."

HAVELOCK'S MARCH.

Years hence, when eyes, now blind with tears, can look upon their loss—
When the bright crowns are come to them who now bear bitter cross—
When mothers, mourning gallant sons, friends friend, and husband

bride,
Can smile a proud and mournful smile, telling how well they died—
When bitter wrong bath righted been, and vengeance had at last,
And all this awful page of Time is turned into the past—
Then will it be a tender tale, a touching thing to hear,
The story of the scattered few who in that hour of fear
Blenched not at death, nor bated breath, but quiet, true, and brave,
kept iron hand upon the land that God to England gave--
Who mid that reeling surge of blood stood rooted as the rock,
And turned the crimson billows back, at each insulting shock,—
Turned them, till far above the war the cry of " Rescue " came,
Till burst upon the traitor-hordes the flood of sword and flame,
Till England's band leaping to land in noble rage went forth,
And all those coward killers sank in a Red Sea of wrath.

'l'herefoie I sing a gallant thing—l also in that strife
Desolate of a noble friend, dear to me as my life,
For which great grief seeking relief none can such comfort yield,
As marking how God fights for us, for us outspreads His shield,—
o w sternly-steady on her path His angel Justice goes,
With the unswerving onward eyes, the bent and settled brows,—
How He doth hear our soldiers shout " For God and for our Right,"
And as He struck for Havelock, strikes for us in the tight.
At Alla abad the tidings came to them at the noon,
01 muiderous knives whetted to slay, and succour needed soon;
For ove '-, all that lovely land, in palm-tree grove and plain,
Wandered or waited for fresh prey the hacker of the slain—
The coward crouching Sipahi—the false fanatic slave,
Viho gnashed upon his master's hand, taking the food it gave ;
The tameless jungle tiger, that tasting noble blood,
Drunk with the licence and the lust, loathed all other food.
At Allababad the tidings came to them at the noon;
Saddles were filled, uud ranks close up by rising of the oon,
And long before her silver light shone the dark mangoem o'er
Behind us lay the city, and before us Futtehpore.

craving for " political capital " would of course
be impertinent and absurd !
Again, when this country was informed that
an " insolent barbarian " had insulted the in-
heritors of Itoman citizenship, nobody of
course s4w that there was any connection be-
tween the Chinese war and the stability of the
Palmerstonian Cabinet. Nobody saw that,
bankrupt in resources, the Premier was driven
to defraud the publics by eintezzling their
enthusiasm. Nobody saw through the craft
which induced Lord PALMERSTON to deplore
the atrocities of YEN only until the atrocities
of NASA SAHIB turned up. Hei e he had a
better investment. Nobody, of course, sees that,
by taking credit to himself for a " vigorous
prosecution of hostilities," he is laying up for
himself a store against a rainy day—that when
the winds of popular indignation beat against
a Minister who has no aptitude for social
legislation, he may be able to full back upon
the " capital " judiciously laid up during times
of war and tumult.

We shall not now discuss the exact degree
of censure which should be applied to Lord
PALMERSTON fur the system on which he has
acted through life. We are, perhaps, not
called upon to reprobate the unjust steward
because he hath done wisely. All we would
say is, that the mutiny in India will be
quelled. That no Englishman doubts. And
furthermore, that somebody must have been
Prime Minister during the period. And fur-
thermore, that it is a piece of uncommon good
luck for the Minister to have been floated into
power at the close of one war, to have traded
on the peace (not his own) till a second one
broke out, and to have been enabled to pro-
tract his hour of office by the necessity of sup-
porting any Government through a third.

The Archbishop of CANTERBURY, in responding to
a vote of thanks, said that he thought they had much
reason to be thankful for the success that had
already attended the operations of the society. Not
fewer than 110 additional schools had been built
during its operation, and it was remarkable in passing
through the villages to observe how attractive the
school-houses now appeared—how unlike what they
used to be, when they were more calculated to repel
than to attract.

The intelligence from Paris has been without any
political importance during the week. The Emperor
was yesterday to preside at a Council of Ministers
at the Tuileries.
The Bank of France raised its rate of discount to
six and a half per cent. on Tuesday.
The Moniteur has published a table of the revenue,
from which it is seen that the income derived by the
country from the indirect taxes for the nine months
of the present year, amounts to 781,083,000 f., which
represents an increase of 81,294,04X)f. over the first
nine months of 1855, and 20,805,000 f. over the cot.
responding period of last year. The difference in
favour of the receipts from direct taxation for the
same time against those for 1856, is 3,888,000 f.
The expenses for collecting the said revenue
amounted to 1.26 per mil., or .03 per mil. less than
in 1856.

THE SUSPECTED MURDER.

BY this time the whole of England is aware that the
pickled remains of a man were found in a carpet-
bag upon a buttress of Waterloo-bridge last Friday.
We have literally nothing of consequence to add to
the daily and voluminous statements which have
appeared in the columns of morning contempora•
ries. The police, without a clue, ,cannot he said to
be at fault—they have not yet arrived at that stage ;
but the offer of 300/. reward will probably stimulate
some of our keenest detectives to scent the blood of
this atrocious murder. From the evidence given at
the coroner's inquest on Tuesday, it appears that the
carpet-bag was found lying "on its side " last Friday
morning, between five and six a.m., on a buttress of
one of the arches of Waterloo-bridge, by one Barber
and a boy named Kilsby. They were pulling up the
river at the time ; a rope was attached to the bag,
and the rope was towing in the water. Barber and
river,
Kilsby pulled to their barge higher up the
put the bag in, and in the presence of the elder
Kilsby, a lighterman, they opened the bag, and there
found a number of bones tied up in the portions of a
coat. The bag was immediately taken to Bow-street,
and a carefulexamination of its contents made, with the
following results :—The bones of the body of a man,
with the exception of the head, hands and feet,
portions of the ribs, the whole of the cervical, the
lower side of the left clavicle, and the lower part of
the left fibula. In fact, these are nothing more than
a pile of bones, on which the muscles and large
tendons hung in ragged tatters; all the flesh and
skin, except a small portion of the breast and under
one armpit, having been completely hacked away.

OPINION OF A.B. GRANVILLE, Esq., M.D., F.R.S..

Author of " The Spas of

.bn fiord en Death," rf c. (h.

"Dr. Granville has used Dr. tieJongh's Light-Brown Codtiver
Oil extensively in hi,f practice, and has found it not only effica-
cious, but uniform in its qualities. He believes it to be prefer-
able in many respects to Oils Bold without the guarantee of
such an authority es De Jongh. Dn. GRANVILLE HAS FOUND
THAT THIS PARTICULAR KIND PRODUCES THE DESIRED EFFECT
IN A SHORTER TIME THAN OTHERS, AND THAT IT DOES NOT CAUSE
THE NAUSEA AND INDIGESTION TOO OFTEN CONSEQUENT ON THE
ADMINISTRATION OF THE PALE NEWFOUNDLAND OILS. The Oil
being, moreover, much more palatable. Dr. Granville's patients
have themselves expressed a preference for Dr. de Jongh's
Light-Brown Cod Liver Oil."

SWEDEN.

The Prince Royal of Sweden has just, in his capa-
city of Regent of Sweden and Norway, summoned
to Stockholm Baron de Mandersneem, Swedish
Minister at Paris. This diplomatist was one of the
principal negotiators of the treaty of friendship con-
cluded between Sweden and the two Western
powers in the Russian war, and it is believed that
the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is destined for him.
That department has, since the retirement of M. de
Steernehl, been provisionally administered by M. de

TURKEY AND THE PRINCIPALITIES.

In the new modification of the Ministry, IlionMar
Bey holds the office of Minister of Justice. He is
regarbd as an opponent of the union of the Princi-
palities.
The financial situation of the country does not
improve, and paper money has fallen in value to the
extent of twenty per cent.
The elections in Wallachia have terminated, and
are in favour of the Union. The Moldavian Divan
will assemble on the 4th of October, and that of
Wallachia on the Nth of the same month.

The Eteile du Danube publishes, in its last num-
ber, a list of the deputies nominated to the Divans
ad hoc in the late elections in the Principalities.
Each of these lists are divided into five series, as
representing the clergy, the large landed proprietors,
the small ditto, the towns, and the rural communes.
The programme published by the Wallachians states
in substance :—" We wish to preserve in all their
integrity the rights of our ancestors, which form the
bases of our governmental existence, and to respect
at the same time the rights of suzerainty of the
Sublime Porte." The Moldavians express their
wishes in the following terms :—" Union of the
Principalities into one State, with proper respect for
the rights of the Sublime Porte, according to tlia
I letter and spirit of our ancient treaties.

Advices from Galatz state that the commission for
improving the state of the Danube at present is dis-
playing considerable activity. After balancing long
between the St. George and the Sulina mouths, and
seemingly inclining to the former, the commission has
definitively decided in favour of the other. The
sandbanks of Agagni, which extend from Tultcha to
Galatz, are being dredged. Large quantities of corn,
these winces state, were arriving at Galatz, and
lower prices were looked for.

CHINA.

The Pays has received a correspondence from
China to August 11. At that date no answer had
been received to the demand made by the French
Charge d'Affaires, M. de Bourboulon, through the
Viceroy of Canton, to the Government of the Celestial
Empire. This document, it is said, demanded
satisfaction for divers breaches of conventions, and
especially for the marder of tho French missionary,
the Abbe Chapdeleine, who was put to death in
contempt of the stipulations of the Treaty of Whampoa.
Lord Elgin was expected at Hong Kong, from Cal.
cutta, about the end of August. It was also thought
that Baron Gros would be in China by the sometime,
and that then, in a conference between the
admirals and ambassadors extraordinary of the two
nations, a course of action in common might be
resolved upon.
London, England, 1857-10-10

SPAIN.

The Madrid Gazette of the 4th contains no remarks
upon the recent Ministerial crisis ; but all the other
papers, as on the previous days, are greatly occupied
with the subject. The Iberia says that the resigna-
tions of the Ministers had been accepted, but that
the Ministers were to remain in their posts until a
new Cabinet could be formed. On the previous even-
ing, it adds, the Queen and Ministers were at the
theatre, and in the course of the performance the
latter waited on her Majesty in her box, and held,
under her Majesty's presidency, in the saloon ad-
joining the box, a sort of council which lasted half
en hour. This naturally excited a good deal of
curiosity amongst the public, but no one knew the
resolution come to. M. Bravo Murillo and General
Lersundi, as well as General de la Rocha, continued
to be spoken of as likely to be intrusted with the
formation of a Cabinet.

According to the Espana, also, the Ministers had
certainly resigned, and the Queen, though wishing
them to remain in office to the meeting of the
Cortes, had accepted their resignation. The Epoca
says the same thing, but adds that the Queen had
earnestly solicited Marshal Narvaez to undertake
the formation of a new Ministry, and that it was
not impossible that the crisis would end by his
doing so. It is added that some of the colleagues
of Narvaez had recommended him to remain in
power.

takers in " prices," " paper versus gold," " the
Bank," &c., and other phases of the " cur-
reney " subject, which now seem of a most
abstruse character. For a series of years,
also, there was extraordinary nnwal enthu-
siasm on the slave trade, which vitally affected
our \Vest India interest, of tar greater social
importance at that time than it is now.
We challenge contradiction upon the point
that for years before the conclusion of the
‘var, and for years after it, there was on Par-
liament a pressure of greet questions of first-
class importance, whose united weight. were
far greater than would be the simultaneous
presentation of a new Reform Bill for 1858,
together with the military management of the
Indian mutiny. Sessions may be longer now
than in those times, because Parliament, or
rather the House of Commons, is filled with
petty senators, who must advertise the tact
that they are M.P's. for " Little Peddlington "
But we say, recollecting what Pailiament did
in former times, and remembering how much
work was got through by other Cabinets, that
it would sound like a hollow excuse on the part
of the Cabinet if it drops its promised " New
Reform Bill," because the " War Ake " and
the " Horse Guards " shall be engaged " till
next summer " in crushing the Sepoy insur-
rection.

Supp )sing that the " New Reform Bill" is
to be laid aside in 1858, what is Parliament to
do in the next session? The House of Com-
mons, while the military campaign is going
on, cannot turn itself into a debating club for
the discussion of schemes for an amended
Government of India. Neither can members
occupy themselves with criticising the strategic
movements of the generals in the field. Will
voting supplies for the war fulfil the duties of
the House of Commons? Neither the Home
Secretary, nor the Foreign Secretary, nor the
Colonial Secretary, nor the Lord Chancellor,
nor the President of the Council, nor the Pre-
sident of the Board of Trade, nor the Post-
master-General, nor the Chancellor of the
Duchy of Lancaster, are directly concerned in
the administration of the war. The Premier
holds no particular office to absorb his atten-
tion. The Commander-in Chief of the Army
and the authorities at the Horse Guards have
nothing whatever to do with a " New Reform
Bill ;" and can it be contended that the fact of
Lord PANMURE being entirely, and Sir CHARLES
WOOD being partly, engaged in duties rela-
ting to the campaign, are enough to prevent
the Cabinet from realising its promise of a
New Reform Bill for 1858?

ANOTHER nirERIAL MEETING.

The Paris correspondent of the Times (second
editio3) writes :
The meeting of the Emperors Napoleon and Francis
Joseph, as an outward and ♦isible sign of the renewal of
amicable feelings and intercnnrse between the two Courts,
is still insisted upon, in quarters well informed, as likely
soon to take place. At Weimar, we are told, the Emperor
of Russia, who is on excellent terms with his late gallant
little antagonist, Piedmont, paved the way for a resumption
of diplomatic relations between that country and Austria.
The King of Bavaria, we learn, qualified by his friendship
with the Emperor of the French and by the projected
marriage of his niece with the heir apparent to the Crown
of the Two Sicilies, is about to exert his good offices to
restore a friendly understanding between the Western
powers and the Court of Naples. These are the reports of
the day, which we must not too hastily reject as unfounded,
or even pronounce to be improbable.

THE IRISH GOVERNMENT AND THE
ORANGE SOCIETY.

Duar.nr, Thursday Evening.

A letter appears from the Lord Chancellor stating
that, with the concurrence of the Lord Lieutenant,
he has directed that in future all magistrates in
the north of Ireland on their appointment shall
be required to disclaim connection with the Orange
institutions.

1857.

the wreck, which, breaking from the ship us she con-
tinued to descend, leapt above the surface and fell
back with a heavy splash. Their cries (writes a
survivor) mingled into ono inarticulate wail, and
then the lustier and less terrified shouted for assis-
tance to the bark Marine, but she was far beyond
hailing distance, and night was rapidly closing iu :
The waves dashed them ono against another at first,
but speedily they began to separate, and the last farewells
were taken. One man called to another in our infor•
manes hearing, " If you are saved, Frank, send my love
to my dear wife," but the friend appealed to answered
only with a gurgle of the throat. He was washed off the
plank, and perished as his companion spoke. Many were
desirous of separating themselves as far as possible from
the rest, being fearful lest some desperate struggler might
seize hold of them and di aw them under. Others, afraid
of their loneliness, called to their neighbours to keep
together. Generally, they strove to cheer each other us
long as they remained within hearing, and
.when the
roar of the waves drowned all but the loudest shouting,
the call of friendship or the cry of despair was heard iu
the distance, and infused confidence or increased dismay
in many a failing bosom.

And thus they lay the night long at the mercy of the
waves, one by one washed off his plank or sinking
exhausted with their struggles against the fury of
the storm. When daylight broke, scarce one hun-
dred survivors were picked up by a friendly vessel.
Such is a brief outline of this lamentable wreck ;
and from these datails two points are made clear to
us—first, the enormous responsibility incurred by
sending these large vessels to sea is an unseaworthy
state ; and, secondly, their utter incapacity to carry
boats equal in size and number to save the lives of
their passengers in cases of emergency.
With respect to the loss of the Russian liner,
nothing more is known than that, in company with
a Russian squadron working up from Revel to Cron-
stadt, she was caught in a squall and went down.
The following is the official account :

At daybreak, Sept. 22, we were near the island of
Grand•Tuters. The fleet was on the starboard tack, the
Imperafries Alexandra a little to windward, and the l'ludi.
mir in the wake of the Lrforl, with four reefs in her
topsails. At a distance of five miles from Tuters we
veered ; during our maumuvre the Lefort appeared to us
as if wishing to veer ; suddenly a violent squall laid her
on her side. Though her sails were let go, she leaned
over so much to larboard that we expected her masts
would go, but she continued gradually to lean over till
she foundered in the short time that the Vladimir took
to tack about. Tne keel of the Lefurl appeared once,
and was then swallowed up in the waves. Exclusive of
the commander and I'2 officers, the vessel had on board
743 seamen, t 3 women, and 17 children; all perished.

OPINION OF A.B. GRANVILLE, Esq., M.D., F.R.S..

" Dr. Granville has used Dr. deJongh's Light-Brown Cod T.lver
Oil extensively in his practice. and has found it not only ettlea-
cious, but Uhilollll in its qualities. He believes it to be prefer-
able iu many respects w Oils sold without the guarantee of
such au authority as De Jongh. OIL GRANVILLE HAS FOUND
THAT THIS PARTICULAR KIND PRODUCES THE DESIRED EFFECT
IN A SHORTER TIME THAN OTHERS, AND THAT IT DOES NOT CAUSE
THE NAUSEA AND INDIGESTION TOO OFTEN CONSEQUENT ON THE
ADMINISTRATION OF THE PALE NEWFOUNDLAND OILS. The Oil
tieing, moreover, much more palatable, Dr. Granville's patients
have themselves expressed a preference for Dr. de Jongh's
Light-Brown Cod Liver Oil."_

THE QUARTERLY MEETING OF THE GOVERNORS OF
THE DISPENSARY FOR DISEASES OF THE EAR was held
this week, Mr. W. T. Cooper being voted to the
chair. From the medical report made by Mr.
Harvey, the surgeon, it appeared that an unusually
large number of patients had been treated during the
past quarter, tho cases consisting principally of
rheumatic deafness, diseases of the throat, and
nervous affections of the bead. The number cured
and alleviated was 740. The public were earnestly
solicited for aid to extend the usefulness of the insti-
tution.

A DREADFUL ACCIDENT happened on Wednesday
evening at the Ponder's-end station of the Eastern
Counties Railway. A gentleman, not yet identified,
walking along the rails was knocked down by the
9.20 p.m. train and killed upon the spot. A slip of
paper, on which were a few lines, ev►dently written
by a female, was found in his pocket. It was as
follows :

up well by shelling the town for several days, and
making a decent breach : _

All agree that taking it by assault is out of the question,
and our batteries, on account of the great height of the
glacis, will have to be advanced so close that a practicable
breach will be made in a day or two after we once com•
mence, so there will be no delay when once we have the

The force on duty on the 10th of August amounted

AUSTRIA.

The Borsenhalle of Hamburg announces from
Vienna that ail the rumours of Count Buol's
resignation are devoid of foundation. The probable
inference from this news is that the interview of
'Weimar will not be productive of any change in
Austrian policy.
The Emperor of Austria arrived on the .2nd at
Prague.
The German journals, as may naturally be sup-
posed, discuss at considerable length the interview at
Weimar. The causes which led to it immediately
after that of Stuttgardt, and the consequences which
may result from it, are alike the object of their com-
ments. These journals, however, do not agree in
their accounts. While some state that the interview

we now have is a volunteer guard of a part of the inhabi-
tants only). His lordship opposes both, but as the
necessity which called for them will cease to exist in a few
days, with the termination of the holidays and the arrival
of further reinforcements, he will probably give in before
long, in pursuance of his policy of doing everything
either insufficiently or too late—sometimes both ! We
shall see.
Such is the position of affairs at Calcutta. It is
scarcely one to be regarded with satisfaction.

FRANCE.

The grand review which winds up the proceedings
at the camp of Chalons for the present season took
place on Thursday morning in presence of the
Emperor, the Empress, Prince Napoleon, and three
Marshals of France. The Empress returned to St.
Cloud the same evening, and the Emperor was ex-
pected to return yesterday. The camp, it is said,
will be broken up.
The Dibats, in allusion to the recent Imperial
interviews at Suttgardt and Weimar, refers them to
a long•conceived desire of the King of Prussia to
bring together the three Emperors.

The reaction on the Bourse has set in with vio-
lence, and all the efforts of the great speculative
establishments to support the crumbling market have
proved fruitless.

had been for some time contemplated by the Empe-
ror Alexander, others, and among them the Bourse
Gazette of Berlin, affirm that. the journey of the Czar
only took place in consequence of a sudden resolu-
tion of his Majesty, and that a very short time before
no idea of the kind was entertained even in the best
informed circles :

It is stated (adds that journal) that the decision of
the Emperor was only come to in consequence of the
receipt of an autograph letter from the Grand Duke of
Saxe Weimar.

The Pays, on the same subject, remarks :

We are inclined to believe that the visit of the Emperor
of Russia was solicited by the Emperor of Austria.
The Liberal papers of Germany have, without a
single exception, manifested the sincerest sympathy
with the struggles of England to put down the bar-
barous rising in her dominions in Tndia.
