AMERICA.

The British and North American Royal Mail
steamer Europa, Capt. Lott, arrived at Liverpool last
evening, at 6 o'clock, with the usual mails from the
United States and Canada, 126 passengers, and
576,000 dollars in silver specie on freight. The
Europa left New York at noon on the 19th, and on
the same night met the Royal Mail steamer Africa,
of the same service, hence for New York, and which
would therefore reach her port on tho next
morning. On the 20th passed a large screw
steamer, supposed to be the City of Manchester.
Yesterday morning met the steamer America,
which sailed from Liverpool on Saturday, off the
Skerries. The U.S. mail steamer Atlantic, Captain
West, arrived out at New York on the 19th, at
9, p.m.
Amongst the passengers by the Europa is Mr.
Feargus O'Connor, M.P.
The proceedings in Congress are of little interest ;
nothing had been done in the matter of the proposed
extended grant to the Collins line of steamers.
In the Senate on Monday, the 17th instant, an
important bill in regard to the compensation of
members was introduced. It provides that each
senator and representative shall have 2,000 dols.
per annum, with 20 cents per mile, the distance to
be computed by the " air line." Another and more
important feature is, a deduction of ten dollars per
esiaara:r absence, except in cases of sickness. The
proposed is equal to sixteen months session
for each Congress, or 22 dols. per day for the short
session. It is hardly probable that the bill will be
put through its session. The Senate passed the bill
in aid of a railroad from the Wabash to the Mis-
souri River. Mr. Borland then finished his speech
against the grant to the Collins steamers, and the
Senate adjourned.
Mrs. Adams, the venerable relict of the late John
Quincy Adams, ex-President of the United States,
died at her residence, in Washington, on the 15th
instant.

Kossuth was at Albany, where he was well re-
ceived.

New England has done well for Kossuth in the
expression of sentiment, but better still in the way
of " material aid." Between New York and Boston,
on the way through New England, the contributions
and receipts of meetings amounted to 2,430 dole.
The Boston receipts have been 5,700 dole. ; from
West Brookfield, 50 dole.; Bangor, Maine, 200 dole.;Charlestown, 375 dole. ; Lowell, 12 dole. 75e. ; Lynn,
500 dole. ; and Salem, about, 1,000 dole.—making
11,530 dole. New England has in two weeks con-
tributed for Hungarian liberty. From New Jersey
the entire amount received by contributions and
from meetings was 1,629 dole.
There had been three later arrivals from Califor-
nia, viz., by the Illinois, Daniel Webster, and the
Sierra Nevada. The latest dates are to the 18th of
April, and the amount of specie was very large.
The papers give a favourable account of the mining
interests, and of the prospects of business in the
larger cities. The interior continues to suffer from
Indian depredations.
The markets at San Juan were glutted with goods
of all kinds, and there was a great scarcity of seamen
among the shipping, owing to desertions.
A piece of gold, weighing 305 ounces and 11 dwts.,
solid and shining, was found near Sonora. This is
the largest lump of pure gold ever found in Cali-
fornia.

WEST INDIES.
From Kingston (Jamaica) we have advice. to the
11th inst. They are, however, uninteresting. The
Journal says there will be an unparalleled falling off
in the sugar crop. Freights: England, 50s. to 60s.
for sugar and coffee.
Havannah: The sugar market had been in an ex-
cited state. Exchange on London, 91 per cent. pre-
mium. Freights dull. Another expedition from
the United States was talked of, of which Venezuela
was to be the rendezvous.

SOUTH AMERICA.
We have dates from Valparaiso to the 10th of
April. Cambriaro and several of his fellows had been
executed. The demand for freight to England was
decreasing. Guano had been taken at 655. per ton.
The Chihan government had taken two millions
dollars stock in the Santiago Railway.
Vera Cruz letters to the 10th iast. state that great
excitement prevailed at the capital, in consequence
of a conspiracy against the government having been
discovered. A conducts had left for Vera Crux with
1,400,000 dollars.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
The commercial accounU from New York and other
cities are encouraging. Business wss very good when the
steamer sailed throughout the Union. The money market
had been very eery, money being obtainable on moderate
terms. . _

The market for bread stuffs was verb unsteady, owing to
the nature of the English advice,. Prices inclined to recede
further. Western Canal flour, 4 dole. to 4 dole. 121 e. per
brl.; Indian corn, round yellow, 64c. to 66e. per bushel,
steady ; Indian meal, 3 dots. 23e. to 3 dole. 371 c. per brl.
The cotto market at New York is reported brisk, with
a good amount of business doing at advanced prices. New
Orleans and Mobile, mad fair to fair, 101 e. to 111 c. per lb.,
or a rise of 10. ; Uplands and Florida, mid fair to fair, 10c.
to 101 e., or a rise of Ic. per lb.
There is no change to report in freight.
Provisions dull. Mesa pork barely 181; prime, 161.
Busidem in elating' on London was rather flat, at 110/
to 1; Paris, 6.16 ; Hamburg, 36 to 361; Bremen, 781 to 1.

IMPROVEMENTS AT TUE BANK OF ENGLAND.—
The Governor and Directors of the Bank of England have
caused a fountain to be constructed on a space of ground ad-
joining the Bank parlour, which will be in operation in the
course of a few days. The arcs on which it is situated was
a vacant site, but it will he converted into an ornamental
garden, which will bo t considerable improvement to that
part of this eztensive building. Tho basin to receive the
water is circular, and about 1 t feet in diameter. It is
formed of Portland stone, and presents a very neat and
chaste appearance. The jet will be about 20 feet in height,
the water being supplied from tanks on the roof of the
bank.

LAw•surr ABOUT A HAT.—Tho Civil Tribunal of
Chateau Tbierry has lately had a rather singular cue
brought before it ; the object in dispute being neither more
nor less than the hat worn by the Emperor Napoleon in the
Russian campaign. Thin relic of the emperor fell into the
possession of the late N. Berard, his valet-de•chambre, and
the litigants are the widow of that gentleman, who claims a
right to retain the hat, and the other branches of the family
who demand that it shall be sold with the other property,
and the proceeds go into a common fund for division.
Counsel on both Bides were heard, and the court, after a
short deliberation, decided that the hat should not be so.d
with the other property left by the deceased, but be put up
for sale amongst the members of the family themselves, and
remain in the possession of the widow until that should be
effected.

--------
FATAL COAL PIT ACCIDENT NEAR ROCIIDALR.—
An accident, which caused the death of two persons, oc-
curred on Tuesday evening last at the Captain Fold Colliery,
near Heywood, in the township of Castleton. On that day
the waters of the river Roche, which runs through the
estate adjoining the colliery, burst into some old workings,
and the pressure becama so great as to break down the
barri,ra between them and the Captain Fold colliery, which
is worked by the Heywood Coal Company. About thirty
persons were then in the pit, but all, except three, sue•
seeded in escaping unhurt. The pumps were set to work,
but it was four hours before the water could be ejected. One
of the sufferers narrowly ',reaped drowning, being shut up
by the water in a place where the force of the atmospheric
air kept hack the water so as to allow breathing apace. The
dead bodies of hie brother, Daniel Heywood, aged 13 years,
and Robert Kershaw, a single man, aged 25 years, were
taken out afterwards.

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.
THE KAFFIR WAIL—ARRIVAL OF Slit
H. SMITH.
PoIasMOUTII, SI*NbAY.
The Gladiator, steam-ship, Capt Adams, arrived
at Spithead at five o'clock this afternoon from the
Cape of Good Hope, having on board General Sir
Harry Smith, Bart., G.C.8., late governor slid
commander-in-chief of that colony, end Lady Smith.
The Gladiator put in at Torbay yesterday afternoon,
where she landed her mails and government de-
spatches, the latter under the care of Col. Garvock,
military secretary to Sir IL Smith, and by whom
they were conveyed by rail to town at 81X o'clock
last night. The Gladiator sailed again for this pot
this morning.
She left the Cape of Good Hope (Table Bay) on
the 18th of April, called at St. Helena on the 2;th,
Ascension on the 3rd of May, Porto Grand, SL
Vincent, May 14, and Madeira on the 22nd.
The Kaffir war is reported ar having been nearly
brought to a close by Sir Harry. Smith prior to his
leaving ; the result of the operations detailed by the
last mail having had the effect of indneing the
chiefs to sue for peace. In consequence Sir Harry
had entered into negotiations with them, and these
were being continued by his successor Major-Gene-
ral Cathcart. There had been no collision between
the British and Kaffirs since those already reported,
although there had been some desultory skir-
mishing ; we have not, however, learnt of
any loss of life on the part of the Britsh. It was
strongly hoped that the negotiations fur peace now
going forward might be successful, but sonic fears
were entertained as to whether or not this would be
the case.

Major Oldrich has come home with biz 11. Smith.
The gallant general and his lady are in excellent
health and spirits; they are expected to land here
to-night, and take up their residence at the George
Hotel.
The Megurra troop-ship, having invalids on board,
had left the Cape for England, and had arrived ut
Ascension, which late she was to leave two or three
days after tho Gladiator. The Myrmidon and
Jackal were at Ascension ; the Harlequin had sailed
from that place. At St. Vincent, the Gladiator found
the Brazilian war-steamer Amazonas, on her way
from liverpool to Rio, having put in for coal. This
vessel, it will be remembered, was built in Englund
for the Brazilian government; her passage out to
St. Vincent is described as being of an extraordinarily
rapid character, she having made 13 knots per hour.

INDIA.

THE OVERLAND MAIL.

TILE WAR IN BURMAII.
CAPTURE OF MARTABAN AND RANGOON.

We have received our usual despatches and jour.
nabs in anticipation of the overland mail. The dates
k are: Bombay, May 3; Calcutta, April 24.
, Our Bombay correspondent writes as follows :
BOMBAY, Mar 3, 15;2.
Up to yesterday, not a single line of intelligence of
' any sort from the force in the Burmese waters had
been received for 18 days, and people began to be
apprehensive that tardiness had taken possession of
the leaders of the expedition. Luckily this was not
• the ease. Her Majesty's steamer, Rattler, with
Admiral Austen on board, reached Diamond Harbour
! on the 23rd ult., with news of the capture of Ran-
goon oa the 14th, and Martaban on the sth, April,
which was sent up to Calcutta by the electric tele-
' graph. 'The following is a summary of the accounts
of the affair which have reached Bombay:
The Burmese at Rangoon commenced the attack
' on our fleet on Easter Sunday. We were obliged to
return their fire, which seems to have told upon our
shipping. the Monday morning there was a clear landing
for our troops, who advanced with ease, until they met with
a pause at the white Pagoda, or whit* house. During the
pause our men suffered much. The stockade was well
defended, but Major Fraser is said to have been in first.
The Great Pagoda was beyond, and was not taken warn-
ingly till Tuesday. We have possession of some 130 guns.
The Burmese fought with unexpected determination. Out
lose killed and wounded about 150. Among the casualties,
Liest Donaldson, Engineers, killed; Lieut. Dorin,
Lieut. Trevor, severely wounded; Capt. Blundell, wounded.
Rev. Mr. Baker, who exerted himself in tending the
wounded and burying the dead, died soon after of cholera.
The troops will not move on to Prome. They are quar-
tered in the pagoda and priests' houses, and in good mili-
tary position. The Burmese are saptiosed to number about
25,000. Their artillery well managed, and the musketry
at Martaban was very heavy.
This morning's post has brought the following :
Martaban was captured on the morning of the sth,
without our losing a single man, so well was the
plan of operations concealed from the enemy till pat
' into effect. Great resistance appears to have been
offered at Rangoon, and our casualties are numerous.
The weather appears to have struck down as many
as the enemy's guns. Majors Griffiths and Oakes,
Madras Army, and Captain Hing, 80th foot, died of
coup de soleil and cholera, and the latter disease was
making sad havoc both ashore and afloat.
There has been further skirmishing on the north-
west frontier, not far from Peshawur--as we must
continue to expect periodically, so long as wo occupy
the country.
About the 6th inst. an attack had been made on a
village named Uddezaiee, sixteen miles Loom
Peshawur, by a body of Afreedies, who were
beaten off by the villagers. The attackers
lost four killed and loft two prisoners : the
defenders had three killed and nine wounded.
On the 31st March the enemy again descended on the
villages of our allies around the fort of Shubkudur,
when the sth troop of the 7th cavalry was ordered
out, under command of Lieut. Tottenham, to drive
them off. The gallant young officer appears to have
acted with the greatest judgment, and get between
the Momunds and the mountains, occupying the only
two paths by which they could escape. On finding
themselves thus hemmed in the enemy fired a volley
into the cavalry and scampered off, when Tottenham
gave the word to charge, and showed the example,
but his recreant and dastardly troop refused to fol-
low him, and the enemy escaped. The young officer's
feelings on the occasion may be most easily imagined;
but four of his men would obey his order to 'barge;
some say, indeed, that on receiving the tire of the
Momunds they actually turned tail and fled.
An inquiry into the matter had been ordered
at Peshawur, but the cowardly rascals are
sure to escape punishment. An outpost, some
four miles from the fort, had been attacked on
the 11th, but kept its ground gallantly. On the ap-
pearance of the largo body of the enemy above
referred to, the outpost was called in. On the
14th, two guns and Jackson's Irregulars left Pestle-
wur to reinforce Sir Colin at Shubkudur. On the
15th, the enemy in full force came down on the fort :
the gallant Sir Cohn went out to meet them with
200 of the 15th Irregulass, 100 of the 7th
Cavalry, and two guns, followed by some
infantry. The enemy did not like our
appearance, so they retired to the moun-
tains, followed by us. At 4 p.m. the force
turned to retrace its steps home again, when the
enemy also turned and followed us, but would on no
account come to action. Sir Cohn allowed them
once or twice to approach within range of Ids guns,
which then opened on and surprised them OW
Our force returned to camp at 7 p.m., the 15th
having had three killed and eight wounded. and
several horses killed and wounded, by a concealed
party of the enemy from a nulla (ravine), along the
bank of which they were proceeding. One -horse
artilleryman was also wounded. The enemy left
some 30 or 40 dead on the field. The guns had ex-
pended some 76 rounds of grape and shot each, and
it was believed a large number of the enemy must
have been wounded. The force took up a position
for the night in the village of Shubkudur, where the
enerry managed to set fire to the hedge and some
houses, but were speedily put to flight by a gun troutm
the fort. On the 16th, six hundred of leer Majesty
s:lrd, mounted on one hundred elephants, left
Peshawar, accompanied by the other four guns of
' Waller's troop (2nd of let brigade), for Shubkudur,
where they arrived the same night. A company of
the 23rd N.I. had escorted their lat,orage, besides
which two companies from the '23rd and 25th had
been sent out, together with the remainder of the
29th. Our latest news from Shubkudur is to the
17th : the enemy, to tho number of 6,000, were

it was • pretty sight to see the Woongees, or ehieh,
running about with gilt umbrellas, encouraging the
fellows to fight, which they did right well, supported by
some Bumper deserters. However, the thing as over, and

others eseaped a like fate by Bight. All these petty

in a fearful state. The trials in the sth cavalry have

—From Ist April, 1851, to 31st March, 1852, the
the number of bales of cotton exported to England
was 19:,..93, and to China 282,059. The quantity
of opium exported to the latter country during the
same period was 24,413 chests. The grand
total of imports into Bombay during 1850-51
amounted to 14,473,3851., and of exports to

P.S.—f his morning's post supplies the following
items of news. The Momuteds had withdrawn

seems no truth in the rumour that the 14th dragoons
are going to Mominabad. Long accounts of opera-
tions at Rangoon appear in the Calcutta journals,
which I give you elsewhere. The Peninsular and
Oriental Company's steamer, Hindostan, reached
Madras with the Eaglish mail of the 24th March
on the 23th instant, in time to admit of answers rho
Bombay by return of post. The same mail rio
Bombay reached Agra, Delhi, and Mesrat on the

Os the morning of the 6th April,the Honourable Com-
pany's steamer Proserpina ameba:wed off Moulmein, having
on board Lieut.-General Godwin, C.D., and Rear-Admiral
Austen, C. 8., and was followed daring the day by her
Mat
ty's steamers Rattler (bearing the Rear• Admiral's
Say , Hermes, and Salamander.
General end Admiral proceeded at onee on the
Prossroine to reconnoitre Materbsa. The same evening
the Salamander went up and anshored abreast of Marta-
ben, et • distance of about I,llllBpards ; and the following
trews embarked on board the elder steamers :-80 of the
Sad eempeny sth battalioullengal Artillery, under Brevet-
laajairC. IL Reid ; the left wing ,Majesty's Revd 18th Irish,
LientrOslesel Reignolds, Cailereardotinerters and right

Nth Regt. Madras Native Inkerry„ Lieut.-Colonel John-
ston. At daybreak the morning the whole pro-
eeeded to take up their widen Matagen. Unfortu-
nately the Hermes grounded sliest 2,000 yards off, bet the
Rattler and Preserpiee brought up, the form, r at 213
yards from, and the latter within 30 yards of, the main
wharf.
The enemy were in considerable numbers, lining the mud
wall which runs along the bask of the river to the large
Pagoda, and as soon u the two steamers come opposite. the
wharf each opened a gaup cannonade, which was returned
with good will by the enemy, both with guns and musketry.
The fire from all four steamers was meet effective; the
Rattler and Prospering, from being ro close, must have
caused many Meat*, and the practice from the Selman-
ber and Hermes was admired,; even at the distance they
were every shot told. Tee Mush praise cannot be given to
Captaia Brooking for the oehMmanner in which he worked

THE SCINDE PRIZE MONEY.-SIR CHAS.
NAPIER AND THB EAST INDIA COMPANY'

COURT OF QUIEN'S BENCII.-THIS DAY.

&RINGS IN KOKO.
THE QUEEN V. THE EAST INDIA COMPANY.

Mr. Serjeant Byles applied on behalf of Sir Charles James
Napier fur a rule to show cause why a writ of mandamus
should not issue sgainst the East India Company for the
payment of a sum of 20,198 rupees, which was equal
to 2,000/., improperly retained by the company
from the pay of the gallant general. The learned
serjeant said: In the year 1313 Sir Charles Napier con-.
mended the government forces and the Company's furces in
Scinde, and in the course of the campaign very cousiderable
booty was captured, amounting in value to from four to five
million,, apses. 'Chat sum was by royal warrant g ran tad to the
Company for the purpose of distribution amongst the officers
and soldiers. Before the distribution Sir Charli s returned
to Englund, where he remained until the year 1849. Us.
was in the early part of that year again sent to India. In
May Sir Charles arrived in India, and in April, 1850, eur
order was issued by the Indian goverumi vet respecting the
distribution of the booty taken in Scinde The proclamations •
which were promulated went on on to say that
certain charges, to the extent of 2,0001., were to be
debited from those who had received the Seinde
prise money, and directing that the deduction
should be made from the pay of the officer, who had re-
ceived it. In consequence of that order • portion of the
pay of the officers was stopped for the months of May sad
June • and against this proceeding Sir Charles Napier pro-
tested in his own name, and on behalf of the European
officer' affected by it, for the native troops were nut in-
cluded in the order. In the protest it was stated that
20,000 rupees were to be deducted from Sir Charles Napier'
and the officers' pay, which was equal to 2,0001. sterling, on
account of the payment with respect to the booty taken in•
Scinde, and on the ground that certain charges coeneeted
with the state of affairs in Scinde had not been deducted.
Sir Charles objected, on the ground that some of the
officers were in England ; and, on the part of himself and
the European officers, felt bound to protest against a deduc-
tion so unjust, and made with respect to booty taken and
paid several years before. This protest was presented to
the Indian government and the money was paid, but, in con-
sequence of an order from the company at home two other
months pay was kept from the commissioned officers.
Against this General Napier again protested. Subse-
quent) y Gen. Sir Charles Napier returned to England sad.
applied (or his own pay and that of the other ofheen, and
was refused, and therefore the present application was
made, and which the general made not on his own account
but on account of the officers of the army. The learned
serjeaat said, in this state of things three queseions
arose-Ist. Was there any right at all to recover the
booty received and paid over ; 2nd, could any part paid be
stopped from the pay; and, 3rdly, weather° any remedy but
by mandamus, and if so, what was the remedy. As he had
said, the general had made the application on account of the
Milan and not for himself, because his share of the &inde
prise money was 613,0001., and all the interest he had in
the present application wee as to his share of the 2,0001.
If an action could lie against the East India Company, he
would admit that he had no right to obtain a mandamus,
but as it would not, be wu entitled to it. An action cuuld
not be except on contract, and that contract must be under
the seal of the corporation. The contract, if any, was one
of imperfect übligation.
Lord Campbell—lf it is a contract of imperfect obligation
it !taunt be enforced on mandamus.

Mr. &leant Byles contended that there could be no
deduction of pay except where the officer was absent with-
out leave. Thom were all the &fitments he had to offer on
the first head._

Lord Campbell said the court were of opinion those
argumenta were not sufficient.
Mr. Serpent Blies submitted that, if the court interfered
at all by mandamus, it she uld be in a ease of this kiwi,
where there was no rem,* at law. By the act of
'parliament the Queen lent her troops to the C. enpany, but
the Company wu to pay for them, and where no action
could lie, the only ruse 4 was by mandamus, and the court
should remember that ea cheer's pay could not be stopped
euept on the grenade that he had mentioned.
Lori: Campbell said the bilge would take time to iiin;
eider whether they wadi great the rule.
