THE PUNJAUB.

The heat of the weather at and around Lahore in
the end of June was fearful, and rain was anxiously
prayed for, both on account of the people and the
crops, which had suffered much therefrom.

CHINA.

PROGRESS OF THE INSURRECTION.

lIONG.KONG, Jt LY 7.

The want of steam communication with the north-
ward, hue kept us in comparative darkness respecting
the movements of the insurgent and imperial forces,
in the struggle now going on for the dominion of the
vast empire of China. The arrival of the opium
coasting clipper., Audaz and Island Queen, has con-

tributed something of importance. The principal
news from Shanghai by these vessels, is the failure of
the attack made by the imperial forces, aided by their
fleet of European rigged vessels, on Chin-Kcang-foo,
a city distant half a mile from the south bank of the
Yangtze river, and strongly fortified. This city is
the key to the whole Chinese empire, and to effect its
capture the Tartar chiefs were resolved to strive their
utmost. The Shanghai fleet, consisting of the
recently purchased Agnes, Antelope, Dewan, armed
respectively with 28, 12, and 12 guns, and 25
lorchas, commenced the attack on Chin-Keang-
foo on the 28th of May. The defenders had
fully prepared themselves for the struggle by
strengthening the defences, burning down all the
suburbs, and mounting heavy cannon. The Shang-
hai fleet anchored abreast of the city and openeda
very heavy fire, which was returned from the stock-
ades with great spirit. The heights commanding
the river were so admirably fortified that they
did serious damage to the shipping. The fleet pee.
pered away until all their powder was expended,
when they were forced to retreat about a mile and
a half below the town. The loss on either side was
not great. During the engagement about 6,000 im-
perial troops were encamped within three miles of
the city, coolly looking on instead of attacking the
forts on the landside. The fleet had returned to
Shanghai heartily disgusted at their want of success.
Here is an extract from the latest received letter
from this quarter : . _

Shanghai, June 22.
The Taoutaes fleet has returned trim Chin•Kiang, and
as the fircignen who were employed do wit seem to ap.
prove of the Chinese service, we may expect that the ships
will be of no further use against the insurgents.
The numbers of the North China Ifrrahl recently
to hand, furnish several interesting particulars res.
peeling the rebellion. I/r. Charles Taylor, an Ame-
rican missionary, had made his way into the patriot
camp, and was there during the time of the attack
by the Taoutaes fleet. Dr. Taylor says he could nos
ascertain that the insurgents suffered the least injury
from the cannonade of the imperialists. After the
attack on Chin-Kiang-too, the following proclamation
was published by the insurgent chiefs :

Mr. Knowles, QC. with Mr. Cowling, appeared for the
tilauttitL; and Mr. Vation, Q C., Mr. Atherton, Q.C., and
Mr. Toculuison, for the ,tersada,,s.
The plaintiffs in this action are corn and provision
dealers, at Liverpool, and the defendant is also a corn
merchant. At the latter end of last year, the plaintiff.
,ngaged to sell to the defendant a cargo of Ibrail torn, per
the Agbaioe Nicholaus, at a certain prier, of fair average
quality. Upon the contract being sent down to Mr.
Sil•Curtin by Mr. Mocgradien, the former gentleman struck
out the words "(sir average quantity," and thereupon the
di fondant repnoiated the contract. The case occupied the
court about two hours, hut the principal facts • ere ad-
mitted by the comispoodence. It appeared that finding the
delindinit would nut take the corn, which eventually
turned out to he seriously damaged, the plaintiff's caused
their agent in Dublin to sell it, three or four months after
arrival, and it •as for the losi upon the resale from the
contract price that the ac-ion was brought.
Mr. Watson raised several Objections to the declaration,
which the judge strongly intimated were fatal; one being
that the name of the principal was not disclosed, and the
principal one of Mr. M'Curtin altering the contract entered
into by his anent.
Mr. Knowles elected to take a nourish.

Tam ease closed the busk. s. of the saMm, and his lord-
ship concluded by expreuing his thanks to the Manchester
gentleman on the grand jury fur the puatuality with which
they had attended.

We have a fair supply of Beasts, but not so large as on
Monday last. The demand is good, and prices on the aver-
age have improved. The number of Sheep is now uolly
small for the time of year, consequently they are
quickly disposal of at an advance of fully 2d. per 81be., end

tricts speak of very serious damage haviug been sustained

timated that the crop has been destroyed to the amount of
25 per cent. at least. It is said so severe a storm has not
been experienced for many years at this season ; the market,
in consequence, wean a healthy eppearance, and prices ere

GERMANY.

VIENNA, AUGUST 24.—The Wiener Zeitung of
this day eontains an ordorinance relative to the state
of siege in the Lombardo-Venetian province. It
restricts the interference of military courts to etails
purely political. One paragraph, however, declares
that murder and cognate offences, may still, if the
higher authorities see necessary, be referred to the
military courts. The political police, too, is still to
be exercised by the military. In short, the mitiga-
tion of martial law in these provinces is more nomi-
nal than real. The scats of the military tribunals for
Lombardy are Milan and Mantua; for the Venetian
territory, Verona and Udine. Itadetzky continues
at the head of affairs.

BERLIN, Aucusr 23.—The King is expected to ar-
rive from his sea-bathing quarters at Putbus to-
morrow. On the 27th a Cabinet Council is to be held
at Bellevue; after which his Majesty will repair to
Potsdam. In the evening of the same day he is to
start per railway for Breslau. The great business at
Breslau is to be the inauguration of monuments to
heroes of the war of independence.
To-day's journals are filled with accounts of yes-
terday's celebration of the anniversary of the battle
of Groasheeren. The confluence of spectators was
very great. The surviving veterans who took part
in the fight appeared in uniform, and excited a lively
interest. The Kreuz•Zeitung of yesterday avails
itself of this occasion to preach a recuscitation of
German hatred against France. An eloquent dia-
tribe (4 la Kresc-Zeitung) to this effect is wound up
by the valorous declaration :—" Such an anniversary
warns us to be prepared for battles even with our-
selves." The heroic writer is of a mind, like Hot-
spur, " todivide himself, and go to buffets."

HOLLAND.

A telegraphic despatch from Brussels states that'
tbe second chamber of the States General of Itollandl
has adopted, by a majority of 41 to 27, the bill to
regulate the servals:me of the state over the different
re/40m forms of worship in that country.

• SWITZERLAND.
In the early part of August the Governor-General
of the Lombardo•Venctian provinces prohibited the
exportation of corn and flour from Lombardy. The
federal council consider this measure, in so far as
Switzerland is concerned, a manifest infraction of
the treaties of 1818, which stipulate that the can-
tons of Ticino and the Grisons shall be free to buy
corn in Lombardy within the limit of 70,000 mea-
sures for Ticino and 6,000 for the Orisons. The
Swiss charge d'affaires at Vienna has received orders
to insist upon the strict and loyal fulfilment of exist-
ing treaties.

special train for Killarney, where they were expected
to arrive at six o'clock last evening. A ibjeuner
will be given to their Excellencies to day, and to-
morrow the annual banquet of the Royal Irish Agri-
cultural Society will take place. What with tourists
for the picturesque and visitors for the agricultural
show, Killarney is at present so fillel with strangers
that numbers are unable to find aoy hotel accommo-

The Evening Post announces that the Lord Bishop
of Limerick, the Right Hon. John Hatchell, and
Mr. Commissioner Longfield have been appointed

The final sentence of the law was carried into exe-
cution on Monday on the convicts Hadgens and
Breen, the two men found guilty at the late Monag-
han assizes of attempting to murder a land bailiff on
the Bath estate. The bodies, after execution, were
given up for burial to the friends of Hodgens, the
unfortunate man Breen not having, it would appear
any friend whatever, and they were conveyed for
several miles into the county of Louth, on a car, on
which candles were kept burning around the coffins
during the night.

CORK AND DAXI4OX RAILIVAY

The half-yearly meeting of proprietors was held
yesterday at the London Tavern ; Mr. Louis in the chair.
The report stated that the increase in the receipts might be
considered satisfactory, the revenue for the past six months
having exceeded that of the correspondtog period lest year
by 1,0821, showing an increase of 27 per cent. The bill
for the extension of the line to Bantry, with a branch to
Clonakilty and ultimately one to Skibbereen. would
in a few days pins the r. maining stages in the
House of Lords and receive the royal went.
The bill provid,:d for the perfect security of the holders of
debentures and preference shares, while the original share-
holders were afforded a fair prospect of dividends shirtly
after the whole line is opened. One of the many advan-
tages which the extension of the line to Bantry was calcu-
lated to confer was the facility with which, by a branch to
Cmoithaven, not only may the mineral and other natural
products abounding in that and the intermediate districts
be brought to market, but an important communication
would thus be established with a harboer which was admi-
rably adapted, from it: geagrAphiell position, fur a trans-
Atlantic station. The receipts for the half year amounted
to 5,9,561., and the expenditure to 5,6051. The Chairman,
in moving the adoption of the report, said that the dime-
ton having now overcome the difficulties which stood in
the way of the extension line to Bantry, he hoped that
those who, from a mistaken view of their own interest, hod
opposed them, would now come forward and help them to
push on the line t the west. The report was adopted, and
a vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the business.

COLLISION ON TIIE CIIEsTER AND HOLYIIEID
LIN 11.—A collision, which happily has not been attended
with serious consetrences beyond great alarm and a few
bruises, has just occurred on the above line, in the wend
which leads from the Bangor !melon towards the Britannia
bridge. The tunnel is about a mile in length, and is mach
curved. A goods train for ltclyhead had entered the ina-
ne), when the Coro..rvun train, having been eau-
tinned, followed soon niti.r at slackened spud.
About halt way through the latter came into vio-
lent contact with several trucks, which by some means
had become detached from the {roods train and left upon
the line. The passengers were hurled by the srvcre shock
with violence upon each other, and many Rat (Ten the
doors and screamcd for help. The line was blocked up by
the broken carriages, and the utmost consternaticn was felt
when it became known that the up mail trout Holyhead
was due. Iu about three hours the line, under the direc-
tions of Mr. Lee, the engineer, was cleared, and the trains
were enabled to pass. The guard in the detached van of
the goods train was cut upon the forehead, but happily be-
yond some bruises ro other Wary was sustained.

The return of the last election having been proved by
Mr. Na)lor, of the Crown-office, Mr. James nest ten-
dered the resolution of the previous committee unseating
Mr. Whalley, on the ground of treating. The learned
counsel then said that was the case on behalf of Mr. .

Mr. Serjeant Allen said be was taken by surprise by
the course adopted by his learned friend Mr. James, in
not going into the whole of his case at once, instead of
relying on the first branch of it before he would proceed
with the others, and on that ground applied for a post-
ponement.
After a good deal of discussion on this point, the com-
mittee decided on adjourning to Friday next (to-m

gratulations. The king, in his answer to their compliment,
having said that he should be hippy to do anything that
would be agreeable to them, they replied that nothing
would give them greater pleasure than his Majesty sending
them a barrel of real Bavarian beer. The king smiled at
their singular request, and replied that their wish should

MUSIC.

CONCERT FOR THE ITALIAN REFUGEES.
The concert in aid of the Italian Relief Fund took
place at St. Martin's-hall last evening. It was a
well got up and agreeable entertainment ; and, from
the appearance of the room, which was quite full, it
must have been satisfactory in its result. A number
of eminent performers gave their assistance. Signor
liottesini, we under:du:it, deferred his departure for
America in order to Contribute his services on this
occasion, and axe, ted his marvellous powers with

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.

In the House of Lords, on Monday evening, the
Earl of Clarendon stated as a correction of previous
intelligence from Jassy, that the Russian government
had sot exacted or demanded the tribute due from
the Hospodars to the Porte, but had only forbidden its
transmission to Constantinople. Letters from this
last capital of the 28th ult. state that the I'orte had
issued a protest specially directed against the appro-
priation by the Russians of the tribute of Moldavia
and Wallachia; so that there can be no doubt that
the earlier and fuller statement of the wrong is
that which is credited by the Turkish government.
Letters from Vienna of the 6th state that the
Czar's readiness to " receive the ambassador of the
Suiten" is the real gist of the message from St. Pe-
tersburg which has made so much noise during the
last few days. Direct negotiations with the Porte
in the capital of the Czar are, above all things, de-
sired by Russia. The intervention of France and
England would thus be practically got rid of, and
the Porte, exhausted by delays, would hardly fail to
surrender the whole ultimatissimum of Priuce Men-
chikoff.

BLACK UU RN.

The turn-out here is progressing, and there
appears to be little doubt that the whole of the mills will
Eva he at a stand. The notice issued by the employers,
that they will close their mills in a fortnight, unless the ex-
tr.irsgant claims made by the hands are *Wm-tuned, has
been posted in the workrooms, and seem,.."/ '0 preei-
pit?te aa almost immediate strike. " ". =ill, as the
overlooker was posting the notice, he was "dressed by one
of the operatives, who said, " You may rave yourself that
trouble. old fellow; we are ode;" and in a few minutes
th,ro e.is not a person left in the place. Sir William
itclden and Co.'s mill is closed, as also are those of Messrs.
Thwaites and Co. and Messrs. Briggs. The three mills of
/bor. l'ilkiogtoa are also said to be closed. It is to be
regretted that people are attempting to augment the bitter-
ness of the strife in the miserable hope of making a little
political capital out of the strike.

MANCHESTER.

So for all the employers have succeeded in sr•
raeging with the hands who have given notice for en ad-
vance. Oise manutreturer hearing the other day that hit

weavers wets holding meetings, lent fur them at once to a
conference. A reply was returned suggesting &depute-
two. " Deputation !" said the employer, " I want no de-
putation to risk a misapprehension or misrepresentation of
what I say ; let the whole i f them come." They all
came, and the result was that hearing (worn hlm the exact
position of his bargains and his profits. they were so satis-
fied that loss and ruin would tesult upon the enforcement
of their demands that they returned to work.

FRANCE.

PARIS, SUNDAY EVINING.
The Empress's sister, the Duchess of Berwick and
Albe, and her husband, tho duke, have arrived in
Paris from Madrid.
We read in the Moniteur de (Armee:
Correspondence from Constantinople announces that at:
ambassador from the King of Persia had come to offer
the Sultan his alliance, and the assistance of his
army ageinot Russia. It is well known that Persia
no less than Turkey has suffered from Muscovite ambition.
Its provinces adjoining the Caspian sea have fallen under
the domination of the Czars. Like Turkey, Persia has many
years made efforts to resist Russian enerombroent,and since
the celebrated embassy sent to Teheran by Napoleon 1.,
Persia has turned her eyes continually towards France, espe-
pecially with the view of obtaining from her an European or-
ganisation of the Pei Man army. We believe from information
directly reaching us, that this army is not to be despised.
It comprises, it Is said, twenty regiments of regular
infantry, and its light cavalry is very foi minable.
This result is due to the military school established
at Teheran by the aid of European officers. Some
of those are Italians who took part in the defence
of Venice, and who since 1849 have been in the Persian
service. But the success of the school is chiefly owing to a
young man of immense promise. Hussein-Khouli, now chief
aide-decamp to the King of Perbill, who was educated at
St. Cyr, where he pared eighteen mouths, beginning iu
1847.

We read in the Independance Beige :
The Austrian minister has, it seems, Induced the Divan
to advance a step towards Russia. In the answer to the
Neaselrode note, the Sultan will, it is said, declare that he
considers the last imperial firman in tavour of the Christians
of the empire as having an immutable character, end as
constituting a moral engagement on the part of the Poste
with all the Christian powers. _ _

The Moniteur of to-day announces several changes
in the navy : Vice• Admiral Brost has received the
command of the squadron in the Pacific.
The Moniteur publishes a telegraphic despatch
from the Governor-General of Algiers, in which he

states that from the position he-hes taken up, he
anticipates that the campaign will be terminated in
a tew days, when the army will be employed in the
construction of the road for the union of Djidjelly
with Setif and Constantine.
The dividend of the Bank of France for the first
half-year of 1853 is fixed at 70L per share.

IRELAND.

Dunn', Jura 25.
SLIGO ELECTION.

The approaching Irish elections almost exclusively
occupy public attention 'here. The writ for Sligo
goes down by this afternoon's mail, and to-morrow
Mr. Sadleir leaves town for the purpose of com-
mencing a personal can vas. Parties are so equally
balanced in the borough, that it is impossible to say
with any certainty on which side the chance of suc-
cess is strongest, the question Defog one of a majority
of one or two on either side.' The conservative party
will unanimously support Mr. Somers, having repu-
diated the claim of Mr. Hanly, who was a little too
ferocious in his appeal to their sympathies ; and there
is the probability of a diversion being caused by the
starting of a third liberal candidate, which would of
course tell against Mr. Sadleir's interest.

SWITZERLAND.

On the 20th, the &mese be: an to celebrate the
fetes which commemorate the sth centenary of the
acceseion of their canton to the confederation.
All the cantons save one are represented at
these rejoicings, preparations for which have been
in progress for many months. The intention
of forming a camp at Generate, on the frontier
of Ticino, which was announced by the con-
centration of troops and the cutting of growing
crops, has been abandoned by the Austrian con:-
mender. Freiburg is tranquil, notwithstanding
the alarming lancuage of some journals. The Federal
Council has, within these few days, declared in an
official manner that it guarantees the constitution of
that canton.

CLARE.

In Clue, if we are to form an opinion from the ex-
tensive military and police preparations, a fierce and
desperate con,eat 'nay be expected; but I believe the
popular excitement does not run by any means so
high as all that would indicate; and that while the
authorities are determined that we shall have no more
Six-mile•bridge affairs, the peasantry themselves
have no serious inclination to provoke the repetition
of any such scene. The nomination takes place on
Monday, and the polling will commence on Thurs-
day next. The priests have in several places ad-
dressed the people in favour of the liberal candidates,
but the landlords and their agents show still more
earnestness in the canvass for Colonel Vandalenr, for
whom a show of popular display was made this week
in his own town of Kilrush.

THE KING AND QUEEN OF HANOVER.

On Saturday, the King and Queen of Hanover
visited the new houses of Parliament and Westm;nster
Abbey. Their Majesties were accompanied by the Crown
Prince and the Princesses of Hanover. The Queen was to
have gone to the Tower of London, but in consequence of
the unfavourable character of the weather, her Majesty's
visit to this ancient fortress was postponed until this day.
The King of Hanover received visits on Saturday from
kis Royal Highness the Duc de Nemours, and his Royal
Highness the Duke of Cambridge.
Yesterday forenoon, the King attended divine service at
the private chapel in Buckingham Palace. The Queen
went to Kew yesterday morning to see the birthplace of her
royal consort. Her Majesty visited the village churchyard
and placed two garland. of immortelles upon the tomb of
his late Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge. The
Queen, before returning to the residence of the legation,
paid a visit to her Majesty at Buckingham Palace.
The King attended the afternoon service at Westminster
Abbey, and subsequently visited the Hon. Mrs. Villiers, at
Kent House, Knightsbridge.
The Earl of Clarendon and the Earl of Morton had
interviews with his Majesty yesterday.
According to present arrangements, their Majesties will
take their departure from England on the dtk proximo.

TItALEE.

A now candidate has eartellfor Tralee, and with
a muchstronger probability of success on his aide than
any of those who were previously in the field. This
is Mr. Denis Shine Lalor, who, although he has not
yet " shone" very much in politics, stands very high
in popular opinion in his native county of Kerry. It
appears that those who supposed that any at the
O'Connell family might start for Tralee without risk
of opposition reckoned without their host, the elec-
tors themselves not being at all of that opinion. Mr.
Daniel O'Connell has canvassed them, but, it would
seem, not with such success as might deter any other
candidate from coming forward, and accordingly Mr.
Shine Lalor's claims are much stronger than might
have been anticipated. He professes the imprac-
ticable doctrines of the "independent Irish party."

Several sales of land took place yesterday in the
Incumbered Estates Court ; and while the rates of
purchase, if we compare the prices obtained with
what was set down as the net yearly rent in the
rentals, fell in some cases below those of the last few
months, they seemed in others to rise to an extrava-
gant amount. A fee simple estate in Tipperary
fetched 18 years' purchase; one in Cork, about 17
years' purchase; some house property in Dublin
went for 10 years' purchase; two mall fee simple
estates in Cork brought respectively 111 and 12
years' purchase ; while an estate in Roscommon was
knocked dowa at a price t qual to 241 years' purchase,
and a fee farm estate in Westmeath went so high as
44} years' purchase on the nett profit rent.
It has rained incessantly but not heavily all day,
and the accounts received from the country of the
state of the crops are most cheering, the weather
being altogether the finest for the agriculturist's that
could well be conceived.
William Elliott Hudson, Esq., a gentleman well
known in the literary circles here, died yesterday.

DONALD. fresh from the plough, seeing himself
'standing under a dome of ostrich feathers, may feel
very proud; but DONALD sleeping on the battle-
field, with his feathers in the mud, forms bat a very

own native bonnet, and you will confer a national
benefit upon him—tossy nothing of the improvement
in his appearance.

In bringing forward these various points oonnectcd
with the English Infantry equipments we merely re-
iterate the views of the best practical soldiers—views

shared, it is understood, by Lord ILtRDINGE and the
Duke of CAMBRIDGE. But it seems to be difficult for
any single man, even a Commander-in-Chief, to carry
iuto effect measures of reform which would tell upon
the pockets of some hundred and twenty Generals, be•
sides the whole array of felt, beaver, and leather
contractors. Lord HARDINGE will, however, secure
very powerful support amongst the public of all
classes and opinions, if he will but take the evil in
hand with soldierly courage, and insist upon its re-
moval. Secure of public approbation, he may
fearlessly enter on the important duty of Army
Reform.

ITALY.

The Chevalier Burger, lately Imperial Lieutenant
of Styria, has been appointed Imperial Lieutenant of
Lombardy. The Chevalier Borger is anal to be one'
of the most liberal of Austrian sta•esmen, which by
the way Is not much. He belongs to the moderate
political school which arrived at power in 1848. The
civil governor of Lombardy is cut into the shade
by the military authorities, who are allowed-to exer-
cise a despotism controlled only by the Emperor
himself. Hence this new appointment may prove
of less consequence than some German papers repre-
sent.

a paragraph to the effect that in.t,•ad of the registrar giving

Lord LYTTELTON had no cohj•ction to the insertion of
the word..

The clause as amended was then agreed to.
On clause 9,
The Earl of ELLENBOR01;011 said he had some doubt
whether the Commons would receive with favour a claw
from this house imposing the payment of a fee. It was not
unusual to insert a penalty io a bill in this house, but a fee
was a obvelty.

the wor.l. that should be used. Whether this ens was
right or not he growls' not takeoa himself to say.
