BATTLE BETWEEN THE FRENCH AND

MEXICANS.

We have received advicee from the city of Mexico
to the 3rd of May.

We have the particulars of the encounter be-
tween the Mexican and French forces at Lee
Cumbres. The latter, it is sa:(1, were defeated
with a lose of 500 men.

The following is s translation of the official
despatch of General Zaragoza :

ARMY OF THE EAST-GENERAL IN CHIEF.

An I had the honour to inform you already on the 27th
the enemy moved from Orizaba, numbering between 4,500
to 5,000 men of all arms, and as soon as I knew of their
march I ordered troops to occupy the Cumbres no as to dis-
pute them the pass.
I gave orders to General Jog Maria Artega to carry out
the defence, merely for the time being, as I had decided be-
forehand, with the *woad division under his command,
numbering 2,000 men and 12 pieces of artillery. Said
division was composed of the first brigade under General
Jac Rojo ; of the second under Colonel Mariano Eseobedu ;
of the third commanded by General Domingo Gala°, and
of the fourth under General Miguel Negrete.
On the morning of the 28th at 10 o'clock, the French
faros encamped at Aculzingo, and prepared to attack our
positions with 3,030 men, charging on the centre with two
columns of 1,000, and throwing on the Sauk' 1,000 sharp
shooters. .

A dimputed combat of three hours took place, the enemy
suffering a good deal from dead and wounded, the number
of which is considerable. On our side we bad very few
casualties. . .

Most likely the column of the centre would have beep
completely destroyed had not General Adage., who wee
personally in charge of that post, received a wound, which
circumstance caused our commencing to retreat, while I
was visiting the right flank.
This move, which had already been decided on and coal.
blued by the nature itself of the defence, was executed in
the very best order, the centre falling back on the road,
the left retreating by the sides of the heights end the right
toward Tehuscan ; and so as to ensure greater security Ge-
neral Porforio Diaz, with the second brigade of OS 1.11"1 and
a field piece, was placed on the second heights, and kept
back the enemy at Puente Colorado until 6 p.m., when he
received an order to retreat to Caflada de Ixtapa, which
place had been designed for the troops to pass the night.

dent of the Republic.

THE JEWS AT SARATOW.

Sir F. GOLlifilili)calietrittZuWstothe persecution
of the Jews at Widow, which he explained to be a town
on the eastern bank of the Wolga, in one of the most re-
mote provinces of Russia. The hue. gentleman considered
that this was a case to which the opinion of the house
might exercise a beneficial influence in the cause of huma-
nity in a distant land. He was aware that her Majesty's
government would have no right formally to interfere in
the matter, but he trusted that a friendly representation of
the case would be made on behalf of those unfortunate
sufferers. (Hear.)
Mr. BLAKE said be trusted that the concluding request
of the boo. baronet who had just sat down would be com-
plied with by her Majesty's government. It was, he con-
sidered, their duty to du so, mole particularly as they had
interfered ou behalf of Spaniuds who, as was alleged, had
been persecuted for religious reasons. In the latter case
he believed politics were mixed up, whereas the persecu-
tion of Jews in Russia artae front a feeling of aversion to
the Hebrew people. He had visited the Russian empire
about ten ye /sago, and could testify to the existence of
the persecuting spirit which hail been referred to by the
boo. baronet. Upon the slightest pretence prosecutions
were instituted against Jews, and he had seen many of
them sent to Siberia on suspicion of having committed
offences, some of which were of a very trifling character.
On one occasion he saw fifty Jewish youths sent in chains
to the Russian navy, bemuse some people in the village in
which they resided were suspected of Laving teen engaged
in some smuggling transactions. Great hopes were enter-
tained that on the accession of the present emperor changes
favourable to the Jews would be made, and he much re
petted that those hopes had not been realised.

THE LANCASHIRE AND CHESHIRE RELIEF

FUND.

The London committee of the above fund met
yesterday at the Mansiosi-hoesa. The Lord Mayor m-
inded, and the following gentlemen were likewise present—
vie., Messrs. Cotton, Morley, Howes, Armitage, and Stearns
Dilberoglue. Mr. Gibbs, the secretary, reported h the
receipts for the amounts transmitted last week, wit the
thanks of the different committees to which they were seat.
One writer especially alluded to the proper sense of grati-
tude expressed by the recipients of the small sums distil,-
buted by the local committee, and the quiet
and resigned manner with which the sufferers endure
their privations. It appeared from the financial sheet
that the amount already remitted to different
townships and parishes is 5,4501. An application woe read
from Bomber-bridge and from St. Michaels, liulme, in boil
of which places the distress appears to be very great. The
committee, after considering the applications, resolved that
the sum of 1001. should be mat to each of the above pluses.
Other appliostiockwers laid before the oomusiMee, bet the
consideration of them was postponed, in order to obtain fur-
ther particulars as to the amount of distress, he. In addi-
tion to the above grant the committee directed the &sanitary
to forward the sum of 1501. to Stockport, making the
fourth remittals.e to that town, and also the sum at 501. to
Hyde, to which place two grantsof similar amount Immobile")
previously made. The committee, after triturating some

Mr. Lewis, jun., attended for the defence.
Mr. Metcalfe, for the pmescutiam, said he was instructed
by the Committee of the Stock Exchange to lay the facts
of this case before the oourt, and to ask the magistrate if the

RESERVED NAVAL CAPTAIN&

On the motion for going into committee of supply,.
Sir J. HAY moved for a select committee to inquire into
the case of the reserved captains of her Majesty's navy. The
subject had been so frequently diseumed that he would not
go into any detailed argument in support of his motion. It
would be remembered that the claims of these officers bad
been referred to the law officers of the crown, who Lad de-
cided against them ; but as that decision was opposed to the
opinion of other high legal authorities, it was only fair that
the ease which bid been submitted to the *Seen, and
upon which their decision had been pronounced, should be
proclnamed.
Admiral weLcoTr seconded the motion.
Lord C. PAOST opposed the motion. This case had been
carefully consired by the Admiralty, and that with a
feeling of sympathy for these officen, and a 'Looms desire
to do full justaoe to them, but they could arrive at no other
decision than that to which they came. Subsequently,
it having been reported that the order in council was not
clearly worded, that decision was reviewed by the law
dhows of the crown, sod with the same result. His hon.
and gallant friend contended that the ease submitted to
the law officers ought to be produced, but surely be did
not suppose that the Admiralty submitted a garbled state-
ment to the law °Soars _ . _

lair J. iiAiih;il.;Ziotibt that the case was pot fairly
by the Admiralty for the opinion of the law officers of the
crown.

Lord O. PAOKF woo glad to hear that his hon. and
gales* bind did cot impugn the case put by the Ad
miralty, which he could assure bim contained everything
that could be stated for and against the claim. He almost
regretted that it we. not usual to lay before the house the
case upon which the opinion of the law of had been
taken, because be believed it would be sufficient to satisfy
his hos. and gallant friend and the house that these
gentlemen had been treated with all fairness and con-
sideration.

LATEM PARTICULABS.-(THIS DAY.)

This morning the surveyors of the Board of
Works and the Commissioners made an inspection of the
new trench, or courseway, for the diversion of the water
of the Fleet 'ewer, and expressed their approval of
the work, considering A well adapted for its pur-
pose. Arrangements have therefore been made by the
engineers and surveyors acting on behalf of the
various parties interested, via., the contraetoss for
the lino, the railway company, the Board of Works, and the
Commissioners of Sewers, to open the new communication
at 4 o'clock this afternoon. This time has been fixed upon
as the one least likely to be affected by the tidal water,
which at high water flows up from the Thames far
beyond the place where the sewer is fractured.
Should the trench answer its purpose, and the
sewage water be effectually diverted, the hydraulic
pumping engines will then be set to work at once* to clear
the tunnel and the works of the line from the body of water
accumulated there. The stench in the surrounding district,
from the large body of sewage water, impregnated with
every imaginable species of filth and offal, lying stagnant and
open in the excavations opposite Ray-street, is of the moat
offensive character, and were the weather, as is usual at this
season,very hot, would be highly dangerous to the health of the
inhabitants of this densely-crowded locality. The new
trench will be open for the whole distance, so that the in-
habitants of Vinestreet, Saffron-hill, and streets adjacent,
will for some weeks have to put up with the noisome ex-
halations from the sewage-water passing through it.
Messrs. Jay, Johnson, Fowler,Cooper, Detrick, and Lorick,
the contractors, surveyors, and engineers, with their staff,
will assemble at 3 o'clock to superintend the opening of the
communicatioa between the old sewer and the trench,
which, from the great torrent of water Bow* down, is an
operation attended with great danger.

THE AOCIDINT TO THE FLEET HEWES.
• Mr. BA/au:Err; the chief engineer, brought up • re-
port in reference to the late falling in of the Fleet Sewer,
and the inundation of the Metropolitan Uodergreued Rail-
way. It was u follows :—" I beg to report that the rail-
:l;3 bad
clos beent thee o in
thethe line
ies t parallel
with
at a depth considerably below the bottom of
that *ewer. The ground between the railway and the
sewer was made ground, which having been disturbed and
loosened by the railway company's works, allowed the sewer
to spread and flatten, and on the 15th lastest, the crown of
the sewer fell in. On the 16th, I wrote to Mr. Fowler,
engineer to the railway, • letter, and that on • subsequent
inspection the_ condition of things appeared so critical, that
I felt it my duty, for the safety of the public and adjoioireg
property, to take the matter in my own band, and I received
• letter from Mr. Fowler. On Tuesday morning,
seeing that further mischief was possible, I gave orders fur
the immediate diversion of the Fleet Sewer through a new
open channel, and the strengthening of the timbers in the
trench. A further length of the sewer, and the
side walls of the railway, however, fell in that
afternoon, and the sewer for the present dis-
into the railway. This morning I received
caearter from 211 r. Fowler, and learned that
some gentlemen had inspected the works on behalf of the
company. I, therefore, felt the necessity upon my own re-
sponsibility and upon the emergency to request two lode-
pendant engineers to inspect the works in their new wadi-
tioe, in order hereafter to protect the interests of this board,
all which I now submit for the sanction of the board.
ad I recommend that the solicitor of the board be instructed
to give the Metropolitan Railway Company notice that this
board will look to them to defray the cost, and make good
all damage which has moat unqueetionably been caused by
thoir works. "J. W. Bar•Loirrrs, Chief Engineer."
This led to • short consultation, and the report was ap-
proved sad referred to the Main Drainage Committee, sad
the solicitor was instructed to give notice to the Metro-
politan Railway Company to reinstate the works.
The other business was disposed of and the board ad-
journed.

tenced to 10 years' imprisonment and to pay an indemnity
to the family of Dr. brUarthy. The consul reported that
the case had been most carefully got up, and the examina-
tions conducted with the greatest regularity. It ought to be
remembered that only two months elapsed between the
perpetration of the crime and the conviction, and he be-
lieved that no authorities could bale acted with greater

Mr. TORHENSUiedtieiecreiiirToi State for LAM
whether there wee any truth in the statements which had
been published in various newspapers of a deficiency in the
yield of opium for the season ; and, if so, whether it was
likely that any lees would ensue in the revenue in India; and,
whether any representation of grievances had been made to

them to cultivate the poppy plant ; tf so, would he de-
scribe geeenlly what were the grievances complained of,
and whether the Governor-General or the Lieutenant-
Governor had appointed a couiminion to inquire into them ?
Sir C. WOOD said the government tad received no offi-
cial information on the subject. He bad reason to believe
that there was likely to be some failure in the opium crop,
but it did not follow that the revenue would suffer thereby,
because if there was a deficiency of supply the price would
rise.

THE BOMBARDMENT OF BELGRADE.
. . .

Mr. tifiliinif asked the Under Secretaryof State for
Foreign Affairs whether accounts had been received that
the Turkish fortress at Belgrade had boinharded the
blervian patios of the town Whether Baron Hubner had
offered, at Constantinople, the &mistimes of Austrian troops
to eo.operate with the Porte, either in Bosnia, Sere* ur
elsewhere, independently of the others ; sod whether any
such intervention by one of the great powers was compatible
with the existing treaties.
Mr. LAYARD said the government bad received informa-
tion of the bombardment of the Saivism town of Belgrade,
out they had net received very full information on the
'ablest. Hs believed the origin of it was this, that for
some time there had been considerable provocation given
by the Merriam; to the Turkish population of Belgrade.
Two of these persons had been murdered, and on
the lab two of the gates of the Turkish quarter
had been surprised and taken possession of by the
Serviens. Oa the 17th, the Turkish garrisoe, on
account of soma bring in the town, believed that an attack
was to be made oa the fortress, and a bombardment of the
town commenced. The consuls immediately interfered, and
her Majesty's took such measures as they thought most
likely to stop the effusion of blood. The bombardment
lasted only four hours. Within the last few minutes •
telegram bad been received from the Turkish government
stating that they desired to institute • proper inquiry, and
that • commission would be appointed to proceed to Bel-
grade for that purpose. With regard to the second part of
the question, he had no knowledge that Baron Hubner
made any such offer ; and with regard to the third question,
he ooald only say that the interpretation of European trea-
ties was not to be decided by question and answer in that
house, and any expression of opinion on his own part could
only be that of an individual.

CORONERSHIP ?OR CENTRAL MIDDLESEX.

The committee for promoting the election of Dr.
Isnkester have reoeived the following letter front Dr.
Farr, Chief Superintendent of the Registrar-General's. See,
" June 17, 1862.
" Sir,—l attach the greatest importance to the office of
coroner ; as, when properly filled, it prevents mime, died-
patm suspicions, and discovers the causes of death.
Medical knowledge ia necessary, first, in judging from the
preliminary information whether inquests shall be held,
secondly in conducting the inquiry, thirdly in deciding
whether redid or scientific witoesses shall be called,
fourthly in instructing the jury, and fifthly is returning the
causes of death under the Registration Act. Death is in
some cease an isspesetrable mystery; and in seedy
all cases its physiological causes are entirely be-
yond the ken of non-medical coroners, who thus are liable
to mislead, or to misdirect, or to fail in aiding the juries to
sift medical evidence, and to return in their verdicts the
true causes of death. The object of the office is thus de-
hated. Inquests were held io England on 21,801 bodies'
according to a recent return ; and in only 482 cues was the
verdict homicide. This shows how many of the inquests
are purely medical. The coroner's jury 'outdating onl7 a
tikelessy inquiry, the woad peons detected was titled

namely, on the 17th. It was published earlier in the Mont-
