HONG KONG.

In our list report on the sanitary condition of the
garrison we mentioned the severe sickness among
the detachment of the 59th just arrived in the ship
India. Since then as many as seven of nine landed
in the last stage of dysentery, together with one
from consumption, have died in the regimental
hospital. The dolts at home within whose pro-
vince lies the duty of despatching troops for Indian
!garrisons at proper seasons of the year, should be ,
indicted for manslaughter now and then when such
instances of mortality as these occur. Whilst fast
siding merchant Tonle can be depended on foe

making passages to China in reasonable periods,
without the necessity of calling at intermediate ports
for water, almost invariably troop ships for this gar-
rison are extraordinary lengths of time over their
voyages, entailing the consequence. we have now
to record—dysentery and fever of the worst des-
cription, occasioned by the use of water obtained at
Timor, and undue indulgence in fruit and vegeta-
bles. Independent of the draft, the troops are gene-
rally healthy. Since last despatch there have been
two deaths—one in the artillery corps from dis-
, ease of the heart, and a gun lamer from fever. The
hospital list yesterday stood as follows :—Ordnance,
; H. M.'s ath regiment, 37; Ceylon Rifles, 18;
Gus Lascars, s—total, 65.

CA BUL.

We learn from Cabul that Mahmood Khan, the
ruler of Suze-i-Pool in Turkistan, had been brought
to Cabul as a state prisoner. He was at first crualy
blinded, but shortly after sou put to death. Dost
'Mellowed issued orders for a levy of 4,000 foot,
4,000 hone, and 4,000 Jazarurees., to be de-
'patched for the protection and extension of his new
acqnisitions in Turkistan. Zafeer Khan Boort has
been sent by the Dust on an embassy to the Gads-
bar aief, on the receipt of news that some Persian
troops had reached Herat. Word had also reached
Cabul, ria Herat, that the King of Persia had again
been wounded on the left foot by an aleassin, who,
wheti seized, confessed that he had been hired by an
influential man, whose name be refused to reveal.—

An immense number of trading junks have eon-

According to the latest account, Nanking still
holds out, but the government exhibits the utmost
anxiety lest the southern capital should fall into the i
hands of the rebels.

GERMANY.

To-day the members of both chambers assembled
according to royal command in the White Hall, to
hear from the Minister President the speech closing
the parliamentary session. M. Manteuffel passed in
review the various measures which had received
legislative sanction, beginning with the bill for com-
mitting to the King the power of nominating the
members of the First Chamber, which he qualified
as an act calculated to consolidate the national insti-
tutions. The abolition of article 105 of the constitu-
tion would, he said, permit tho communal law to be
based upon conservative principles. The institution
of a political court of justice had become a necessity,
in order to check the bad passions of the revolu-
tionary party. The religions discussions now agitat-
ing the public mind were, doubtless, regretable t but
would, however, have the advantage of proving that
the government is fully resolved to maintain reli-
gions liberty.

LISBON, MAT 9.
The first sod of the Lisbon and Spanish frontier
railway line was tuned on the 7th inst., in the
presence of the Queen, and according to a pro-
gramme prepared in the office of Public Works. In
taking this step the directors have sought to forestal
the approval of the Cortes in a manner which has not
been well received. When the Chamber of Peers
was invited to assist at the ceremony, Viscount
Laborim expressed not only his dissatisfaction with
the measure, but of the proceeding to its first act,
without the preliminary approbation of the Cortes
and the duly legal forms ; and the Miniater of the
Interior explained that all the acts of the company
were at their own risk, and without any claim to
indemnity, in case the Cortes should not approve, or
the company be unable to proceed with awl under-
taking. The spot chosen (by consent of its owner)
for the operation was about two miles eastward of
Lisbon, on the elevated ground of a Quints. A long
booth had been erected, divided into compartments,
the centre being the royal box, the seats in the right
and left ones the localities of the Chambers of Peers
and Deputies, a division for distinguished foreigners,
and the remainder (two boxes on each side) having
seats for the accommodation of ladies only.
All the compartments were filled to excess, while
the spaces around the enclosure were occupied by a
much larger concourse of people than might have
been expected. The Queen, who arrived under the
usual congratulatory discharges of rockets, having
been conducted to her box, viewed the scone with
much attention, and, after it was duly explained, her

STRANGE CONDUCT OF A CLERGYMAN.

For the last two days, the town of Dorking has
been in a state of great excitement. On Saturday evening,
Thomas Croucher, ostler at the White Horse Inn, went
into the loft to sleep, sod the following morning, about six
o'clock, he was found lying in the stable, with his aka
' fractured, and quite dead. On Monday an inquest was
held, when, as it appeared that deceased was subject to fits,
and bad either accidentally, or being seised with a fit, fallen
from the loft, a verdict of "Accidental Death" was returned.
The coroner issued his Initial warrant fur the interment of
the body, and on Wednesday, about one o'clock, the corpse,
followed by the relatives, was conveyed into the churchyard.
It was met a short distance from the church dour by the
curate, the Hee. Mr. Oldham, who hat only been stationed
here a few weeks ; be began to read the funeral service in
the usual way, but when he came to the church dour he
turned off towards the gra re ; the relatives insisted upon the
body being taken into the church, and the curate positively
refusing, an altercation ensued, and the body was ultimately
deposited in the churchyard in the care of a few friends, the
relatives and also the curate leaving the ground.
The fact spread like wildfire, and created very
great excitement. During the afternoon huadreda
.4 the townspeople continued to flock into the churchyard.
Towards evening the excitement increased, and it was feared
a serious breach of the peace might be committed. Super-
intendent Page and others of the force attended to preserve
the peace. About 2 o'clock, during the night, Mr. Mapper,
a surgeon, at forking, and a number of other persons,
went to the house of the Rev. Mr. Joyce, the vicar, with
the intention of calling him up to perform the service, but
Mr. Joyce being from home, they went to the curate's with
the same intention, and aroused the servants, who in a
state of great confusion got up and called out for the
police. The latter attended, but the rev. gentleman did not
get up. The corpse remained in the churchyard the whole
of the 'next day, and the excitement continued, the curate
offering to bury the body, but would not take it into the
church.
About six in the evening the crowd again began to assem-
ble. The churchwardens attenued, and wished to know if
the relatives were willing to remove the corpse, or they
must make an order for its interment. Eventually this
disgraceful state of things terminated for the day by the
friends taking the body through the town, followed by a
vast concourse of people ; the windows of the houses being
also lined with people. The body was then deposited for
the night at a chimney•sweep's, a relative of deceased. The
Rev. Edward Lambert, minis er of a chapel at Westcott, a
small village about two miles distant, has kindly offered to
provide a grave and perform the funeral service gratuitously,
and it is expected that it will be thus disposed of. The
curate gives as hie reason for the refusal that he believed
the man ,was a dissipated character ; but how the affair
will terminate is at present a matter of conjecture.

FRANCE.

PARIS, FRIDAT ETIMIXO.
The Bourse to-day ham been precisely the reverse
of that of yesterday. After a flat opening, succeeded
by a considerable fall, there was a sudden rise of
more than a half per cent. in the rents within the
last half hour. It is beyond a doubt that the go-
vernment has received news of some kind from St.
Petersburg to-day, the substance of which was pp-
bably known yesterday. Every Saturday a Russian
•"pyroscaphe " leaves Cronstadt, arriving on Tuesday
at Stettin. From Stettin to Berlin the distance,
only 35 leagues, is travelled over in four hours by
railway: The courier from Berlin must have arrived
in Paris to-day, and if it be true that on
and after the 9th the Czar seriously mani-
fested a desire t. compromise, the govern-
ment must now officially know the fact. There
is, however, every reason to believe that no decisive
communication has been made from St. Petersburg.
At all events, it is certain that M. Drouyn de
Lhnys' lut circular can only have arrived there to-
day, and as that circular was accompanied with im-
portant reservations relative to the proposition before
made, it is clear that the Emperor of Russia's
final answer cannot be known till the end of next
week. The following paragraph in the Patrie looks
as if the question were still considered quite open in
ministerial circles :
Official intelligence of the acceptance at St. Petersburg
and Constantinople of the conciliatory propositions ema-
nating from the powers parties to the treaties of 1841, is
looked for with impatience. We shall continue the re-
Nerved language we hineitherto used with regsrdte this
question, neither too arch re-enuring, nor alarming our
readers. But what we may now say with certainty is this,
that oar government, while seeking. mein to maintain
raw, will know how to protect the interests of our ally

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

The reports respectiog business g lly in America,
brought by the Arctic, are of • tolerably favourable cha-
racter. There was a moderate demand for stocks, and the
previous quotations had not experienced say variation.
The tightness experienced latterly in the New York
money market was gradually lessening, money being pro-
curable on more favourable terms than was reported by the
lsat advice,.

The market for breadstuffa wee increasing in activity,
and th. re had also been a slight advance observed in prices;

621 e. to 4 dub. 76c. pet barrel; Clenneseste prime wheat,
1 dol. 24c. to 1 dol. 26e. per 60Ibe. ; Indian corn, round
yellow, 66c. to 68e. per bushel.; Indian meal, 3 doh. to
3 doh. 121 c. per barrel.
In the New York cotton market there had been a fair
amount of business transacted, and the quotations formerly
reported had met with a steady maintenance. At the time
of the Arctic's departure the following were the quotations:
—New Orleans and Mobile, said, fair to fair 111 e. to 121 c.
per lb. ; Uplands, mid. fair to fair, tile. to 12e. per lb.
The excess in the receipts was still gradually decreasing.

SHOCKING MURDER AT BACTON RECTORY.

On Sunday morning last a most brutal murder
was committed at the Rectory-house at Bacton, a secluded
village, about six miles from Stowmarket, in the county of
Suffolk. The rectory house is in the occupation of tho
Rev. Mr. Barker, a gentleman upwards of 80 years of age.
The establishment kept up by the rev. gentleman con-
sisted of a housekeeper, named Maria Stcggall, up-
wards of 70 years of age, and a housemaid. On
Sunday morning last Mr. Barker left his residence about
half-past 10 o'clock to proceed to church, and was
shortly after followed by Susan Clarke, his housemaid,
leavicg the housekeeper at home in charge of the house.
The rev, gentleman, after the service of the church was
over, returned home, entering by the front door, closely
followed by his housemaid, who went round to the back
door. Mr. Barker, not finding his housekeeper in the
hall as she was wont to be on former occasions, called
out loudly for her by name, but receiving no answer,
he went into the kitchen, where he was horror-
stir:el:en at seeing her lying upon her back on the floor
ir. a pool of blood. Mr. Barker sank down upon a
chair close by, shrieking out, "Oh, Susan, Susan,
your mistress is murdered!" This brought the house-
maid to the kitchen, who was so alarmed that she ran out
of the house, crying out " Murder ! Murder!" .Her crier
brought three countrymen to her assistance, who, upon en-
tering the kitchen, discovered that, olthough the skull of
Or, housekeeper had been broken in three places, she still
breathed. Her clothes were much disordered, showing
evidently that she had struggled much with her murderer.
Surgeons were soon in attendance, but their assistance was
of no avail, as she died in about an hour after she was die-
covered by her master. An inquest was held on Monday
on view of the body, before Mr. Charles Gross, coroner. The
jury almost immediately returned a verdict of " Wilful
murder against some person or persons unknown."

BELGIUM.

The King of the Belgians has announced by royal
decree that be will not recognise any title of nobi-
lity conferred on a Belgian by a foreign government,
unless such government shall have previously ob-
tained his consent to the grant. In the minister's
report, which Corms the basis of the decree, it is re-
marked that the national government is the best
judge of native merit, and might sometimes have
to condemn an act which a foreign sovereign might
desire to reward.
London, England, 1853-05-11

RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION IN GAOLS.

On the motion of Mr. LUCAS, an address was agreed to

dom, on the 25th day of September, 18.52. the number of
prisoners of each religious denomination ; the names of the
clergymen or other religious instructors appointed or offici-
ating in each prison during the previous year to promote
the reformation of the prisoners of each denomination
through the instrumentality of their own respective creeds;
the religious denomination to which each suck clergyman
or religious instructor belongs; the salary or allowance
made to him during the year, distinguishing the sums ap-
plied for this purpose out of the money voted by parliament
from those derived from county rate, county cess, or other
local sources; the title, office, or service, in virtue of which
such salary or allowance has been made ; and the date of
the appointment of eachsuch clergyman or religious instruc-
' tor, or of the commencement of his allowance, it an annual
one.
The house adjourned at one o'clock.

INVITATION OP THI DUBLIN

TO Till CORPORATION.

After the Clerk of the Court had read the official account
of the promodinp of the Court of Commas Council on
Saturday last,
Alderman COPELAND I.ook the opportunity afforded by
the notice of the course pursued by that branch of the
Corporation on the occasion of the invitation given by the
Committee of the Great Industrial Exhibition of Dublin,
to express his regret that the other court had declined the
honour. He felt the more upon the refusal of the Court of
Common Council, became he was convinced that the visit
would have the effect of removing any existing impression
of an unkind or unfriendly disposition towards the gene-
rous people of Ireland.
Alderman HOOPER objected that the oonrt had not been
officially informed of any invitation to go to the Dublin
Exhibition.

Alderman 11.-Ornkanto then moved that the invitation Ira
accepted.
Sir JOHN KIT seconded the motion. In the other court
the compliment was warmly acknowledged, and, if circum-
stances permitted, the invitation would doubtless have been
accepted. (Hear, bear.) But he could not see why the
Court of Aldermen should not accept the invitation.
Alderman FARLIIItOTHER said the court could not in his
opinion be justified in going to the Dublin Exhibition,
upon such an invitation as that which had been read.
(Hear, hear.) He, at the same time, must be understood
as feeling towards the Irish people as large an amount of
respect as either of hie brother aldermen entertained.
The LORD MAYOR thought the court ought to express
their sense of the compliment paid to them. Nothing would
have gratified him more than • visit upon an occasion so
important to the interests of Ireland, but the shortness of
the notice, and his promise to attend to many engage-
ments, which it would he impossible to postpone, interfered
with and defeated hi• wish. It appeared to him, too, to be
more desirable that the Corporation of London should be
the guests of the Corporation of Dublin upon such an
scission. (Hear.)
Alderman FAIIItEROTHEIt hoped hislordship would write
that night to Dublin, stating that the shortness of the
notice prevented the acceptance of the invitation, and wish-
ing, in the name of the court, the most distinguished success
to the Exhibition. In all probability they would receive
an invitation from the Dublin corporation without much
delay to visit the Exhibition.
Alderman WILSON said it was ridiculous in the ~orporat-
ion of London to reject the invitation, especially as the
visit would be calculated to encourage feelings of kindness
and sympathy between the two corporations.
After come further discussion, the previous question was,
upon the motion of Alderman Wire, carried.
Some business of minor interest was disposed of, and the
court adjourned.

Council denies that the Imperial Government has
reason to complain either of its conduct or that of

ing on its territories, and concludes by calling on
Austria to raise the blockade. The note is dated
