SPORTING.
TATTERSALL*B—IdoNosy.

The betting on the Cheater Cup materially Increased the
list of favourites, and at the same time brought some horses
that were in considerable favour last week into more promi•
neat notice. These were Cracow, Jonathan Wild, Swiss
Boy, War Eagle, Rufus, and Lady Hylda; Cracow had by
far the strongest party, aced was almost if not quite as good
a favourite as Blaze. Of the outsiders the Human Platoff
colt was most in request. An immense acceptance is ex-
pected. The Derby betting was slack, and, except u it
regarded Cirrus, who was in force at 3 to 1, and Keratin,
against whom 40 to 1 was betted, was without any change of
moment. Closing prices :

THE OVERLAND MAIL.

(From the Herold.)
An extraordinary express has brought us letters
and papers from India, in advance of the Overland
Mail, with dates from Bombay of Jan. 1; Calcutta,
Dec. 21 ; and Delhi, Dec. 20. Nothing later from
China. Of course, our first attention is directed to the
state of commercial affairs at Calcutta; and here we
are glad to find that the worst is believed to have
passed. Rumours, it is true, were rife as to the
suspension of three or four additional firms ; but only
two were known to have succumbed to the pressure
of the times, viz., Messrs. Colville, Gilmore, and Co. ;
and B. T. Ford and Co. Disastrous and wide-spread
as have been the effects in Calcutta, arising out of
the late failures in England, they are not so exten-
sive as was at first contemplated would be the case.
Trade of necessity ia paralysed, and matters look
gloomily enough. In Bombay, too, we are gratified
to learn, that no further failures have taken place;
and though trade is dull there is an improvement in
the markets; which may be considered remarkable
facts at a time like this.
Of political news we have nothing of particular
importance. Lord Hardinge reached Calcutta on the
12th of December, where he would remain until the
arrival of Lord Dalhousie, which was shortly expected.
The Governor-General, on his arrival at Calcutta,
met a most cordial welcome. A deputation of the in-
habitants waited on him on his arrival to present
him with an address. It contained a hearty wel-
come and warm eulogy on his conduct during
his absence. The reply of his lordship is a
model in its way short and to the point,
and full of sound sense and right feeling.
He states that our armies are now sufficient in
strength to protect 12,000 miles of frontier, from the
Himalayas to Cape Comorin ; that all the enemies on
our borders have been subdued, and that the career of
peace improvement now fairly commenced, he hopes
to see persevered in—internal intercourse promoted
—arts, industry, and education protected and fostered.
The Government of India have rewired to allow
10,0001. a year for some years to come, to be bestowed
on experiments on the cultivation of tea on the banks
of the Bees, in oar newly-acquired Sikh dominions,
and in Simla districts.
Sir J. Davis has been directed to procure a supply
of seed, and to send from the first tea gardens in China
some of the best cultivators that can be found. At
present the people in the north-west provinces, to
whom tea is the greatest of luxuries, are supplied with
it from across the frontier; it is enormously dear and
bad in quality, and gets deteriorated on the way.
Major Napier has taken up his appointment, and

TFIE OLTSIPIC.—Mir. Brooke, the new tragedian,
appears to be treading in the 'ootsteps of Kean, if tr. t passe
bus aqui., yet at no very great distance. After having sud-
denly made himself famous by his appearance in Othello, he
has confirmed his reputation by his Sir Giles Overreach,
which he performed last night with very great success. " A
New Way to Pay Old Debts" is the only one of Massinger's
plays which keeps possession of the stage ; for his " City
Madam," when modernised for the sake of Kean's appear-
ance of Luke, was almost turned into a new piece. It can-
not, as a whole, be considered a good play ; its plot is absurd,
turning upon one of the most clumsy contrivances that ever
were produced en the stage ; and the principal character,
wholly out of nature, seems the monstrous birth of a diseased
imagination. But, as an exhibition of the wildest passions
raging in a mind uncontrolled by any :aw, human or divine,
it has great dramatic capabilities, and gives scope for the
highest powers of the tragedian. Mr. Brooke's performance
reminded us strongly of Kean in the same part,
though there was no appearance of studied imitation.
In the earlier scenes there was something of heaviness. In
the familiar, conversational passages his elocution was too
slow, formal, and declamatory ; and it was not till the arene
in the third act, in which Sir Giles pours his infamous
counsels into the ear of his daughter, that the genius of the
actor became apparent. From that point his performance
rose in excellence to the very conclusion. The whole of the
last act was a storm of contending passions, represented with
terrific power—boundless triumph suddenly changed into
fury, horror, and despair. In these closing scenes, probably,
Mr. Brooke has never been surpassed. The curtain fell
amid a tumult of applause; and when he came forward M
make his acknowledgments, he was greeted with prolonged
acclamations. The play, on the whole, was well acted. ?dr.
8011, in Wellborn, was spirited and gentlemanlike ; and
Mn. Brougham performed Lady Allworth with ease and
dignity. Mr. Davidge's Morrill was from beginning to end an
admirable piece of acting, and was warmly applauded. The
scenery and decorations were exceedingly good. The theatre
was crowded to !ICBM in every part.

Anne Jones, alias Anne yak, 24, and Mary Anne Flybys,

bited with the wretched man Sale, and she appeared at the
bar with an infant in her arms, the result of their intercourse.
The whole of the prisoners appeared to be moat depraved
characters; and the eniderce tend.... to show that on the
occasion in question the prosecutor accompanied Jones
to a house in Westminster, and while there he
was robbed of his watch, the other woman and
Molloy, who acted as the bully, being present at
the time the robbery was committed. Doyle and Haycock
were proved to have token an active share in the proceedings
after the robbery was committed, and the only question en
the case as regarded them was, whether they were properly
charged as principals, or whether they ought not to have
been indicted as accessories alter the fact.—Tne jury, under
his lordship's ditection, acquitted Haycock and Doyle, and,
upon the facts, found the other prisoners guilty.—The Re-
corder sentenced Jones, against whom t

MADAGASCAR.

The news fro;i. Madagascar,pnblished in the
Indian papers, from the Bourbon journals, is interest-
ing. The Queen Ranavooloo had given formal orders
to the authorities at Tamatave to rective M. Page
and Admiral Dames with all the honours due to their
rank. As soon as M. Page, commanding the Reine
Blanche, received information of this, he went to
Tamatave, where be was to wait tha arrival of the
English vessels under Admiral Decree. It seems
that M. Lartelle, a Frenchman, at Queen Rana li
-
vooloo's court, has been using his efforts successfully
in favour of French and English interests. It is to
be ho; ed that, when a hearing is obtained, matters
will be brought to a decisive settlement at once.
The Hebdomadaire, a Bourbon paper, says:
It is certain, from the latest intelligence we have received
from this island, that the }lovas are tired of the present state
of things, and are anxious for a change of the internal policy
of the stoveroment, for this pol:cy has only served, since the
interdiction of all foreign commerce, to render money very
scarce in Madagascar, where nothing can be sold for want of
an outlet. This arises from the polities of the country,
which are not very well understood. The queen stands be-
tween two opposing influences, the conservative and lib‘ral
parties, whims bring shout between them a deplorable state
of things. The leader of the first party is Reinhard,
t:.e most influential member of the Malgacbe
cabinet, and whose opinion carrics great weight
with the queen: the other has for its chief
the Prince Bakoto Redone, son of Ranavooloo, who is 19
years old. This young man is more intelligent than Radama,
the heir 'resumptive to the crown, is already more civilised
than his lather, and wishes to see the agriculture and com-
merce of the country both mace free. Re is also arch ntly
diiirous of religious liberty. Reinhard, on the contrary,
would have the military authority go before commercial in-
, fluency, and thinks that, since France and England ventured
to take arms against the power of the Bona, the interdiction
6 of trade with Madagascar must fall heavily on the two fo-

AUSTRIA.—In consequence of the disturbances in
Vienna, the committee of the citizens entrusted with
tepoliee of the town declared, on the 23rd inst., its
'Wangs permanent. An article in the IVaner Zei-
-4,7ig of the 24th, states that there was nothing
political in these disturbances, although some in-
cendiaries had endeavoured, though in vain, to im-
lot a politicaleharactertothem. The Oesterreichische
4lyeneine Zeituny of the 23rd, states that some skir-
nulling had tsken place in the course of the day be-
Neen detachments of the national guards and isolated
bodies of wodra.en, but that the approach of night'!
Dm put an end to the affrays.

then went to join the police agents, whom be had left
on the Boulevard in a hackney-coach. At the Roe
Vivienne he was informed that M. Louis Blanc had
lived there with his brother since June 10, but that he
had not made his appearance since Friday evening,
during the sump nsion of the sitting of the National
Assembly. M. Charles Blanc had been in the apart-
ment several times in the course of Saturday. The
commissary then put seals on the various articles in
the apartment. What results from these facts is, the
strange conduct of the pollee, who not only allowed
twelve hours to elapse after the decision of the
National Assembly, but did not know the real resi-
t dente of M. Louis Blanc for the last twe months."

It is said that, so great Cis the negligence in the ap-
pointment of public officers, that one of the trans-
ported insurgents has been ac.ually appointed sub-
prefect of Boulogne-sur-Mer.

II Itisorginiento of Twin, of the same date, states I
that, at 8 o'clock in the evening of the 24th, consider-
able excitement was ocessioLed at Turin by the heat-

quietest in that city. 200 soldiers of the National

The Tesino Gazelle, of the 25th, states that, the
French authorities on the frontier having refused to
permit Italian refugees to enter France, unless pro-
vided with passports and pecuniary resources for their
support, the Swiss directory has made a direct re-
quest to the French government to appoint a place of
residence in France for these refugees, who, tor the
greater part, belonged to the party in Lombardy
which resisted alike Austrians and the authority of
Charles Albert. The same journal states that on the
23rd there was some fighting between the band under
the orders of atr,baldi and an Austrian detachment
of 150 men, who were defeated, and compelled to take
refuge on the territory of Switzerland. Another
affair, the details of which are not given, took place

BERLIN, Nov. 20.
The committee of the Right and of the Right Centre
of the National Assembly (parties opposed to the
members now holding sittings in this capital) have
forwarded an address to the ministry, expressing
much concern at the report respecting the intention of
the government to dissolve the above Assembly, and
urging the cabinet, if they really contemplated such
a step, not to undertake it.
The into liigenoe from Dusseldorf is highly import-
ant. The receivers of the taxes on flour and meat
have declared that they will no longer exact them,
and that they will merely keep an account of the
quantity of corn ground by the millers, sad of the
cattle slaughtered by the butchers. A more serious
step, however, bas been taken in the above town, one
which will affect the German Customs Union in

CAPE OF GOOD lIOPE.

By the arrival of a vessel at Greenock, we have
news from Cape Town to the 16th September. The
following is from the South Act-teass Adrertiser:
Information, a kw days later, has been received from his
excellency's camp at Bloem Fontein. Ou the morning after
the action of the 29th August, which was not over till after
sunset, Pretorius, accompanied by only the e into, pa'scd
the farm of Commandant Erasmus, full sixty mils from the
field of battle, on the road towards hiavalish.rg. Gent Kru-
ger, one of the insurgent field commandants. passed the same
place on the following Thursday, and stated that Pretoriut
d, and left the people to shift for themselves; that he
(Kruger) was now their leader, and having heard that
his excellency desired to see Potgeiter, he would go and
fetch him, and also P. Beater. He further declared that
he and Beater wanted to speak with the govsrnor, and
not to tight ; but Staunders said, " No ; fire away."
Staunders was struck by a round shot on the shoulder
and side of the head, and lay for a short time insensible.
Three wounded boors passed Erasmus's pla'e, one shot
through the mouth, one through the arm, and one through
the leg. When Pretorious returned to his camp after the tight
he rode through without stooping, in at one side and out at
the other, as Hannibal did at Zama, and Napoleon at
Waterloo, leaving the parts of Scipio and Wellington to
be acted by Sir H. Smith. Only two priioncra tell into
the hands of the victors, one of them a i'eserter from
the 45th Regiment. Both were tried by a court-martial at
Bloom Fontein, and shot. It was expected that Sir Harry
would reach Wenburg on the Bth, and, after restori,,g British
authority there, return to Bloom Fontein by the 16th. This
is all that is certainly known at present. There was a ru-
mour at Colesberg that another battle had been fought,
beyond Bloom Fontein, on the 6th ; but it is generally dis-
believed here, as it is almost impossible that news up to that
date could have reached Colesberg when the post started.
There is no news of importance from the e,tvern frontier.
It appears that the Kaffir chief Kreli is honestly d scharging

WEST INDIA AND MEXICAN

MAILS.

By the arrival of the steamer Severn, Captain Vin-
cent, Lieut. It. Lloyd, Admiralty Agent, at South-
ampton this morning, we have dates from Honduras,
13th ; Tampico, 14th ; Vera Cruz, 16th ; Demerara,
18th ; Trinidad, 21st •, Jamaica, 23rd ; Barbadoes and
Havana, 28th ; and Nassau, 30th Oct. ; St. Thomas,
Ist, and Bermuda, Bth Nov.
The Severn has brought 48 passengers, and on
freight 681,436 dollars from Vera Cruz and Tampico,
of which 5,000 dollars are reported to be on account
of Mexican dividends, 704 oz. of gold, 477/. in British
coin, and 173 serene of cochineal.
At Nassau three American ships were lying at
anchor, which bad been found on shore and aban-
doned at different keys. The Eliza, of Liverpool,
was totally lost on the Bahama Bank, on the 2lat of
Oct.;• crew, rigging, sails, and stores saved.
At Jamaica, Sir C. Grey had prorogued the House
of Assembly, and summoned it to meet on the 26th of
October. The matter is thus noticed in the Despoiled :
Sir Charles Grey has peen fit to convert the present adjournment of
the house into a prorogation, and to call the house for a second
session on the jtta instam, The object of .his is a manifest cue.
It gets rid of any unpleasant resolutions which may have found their
way into the minute., dining the late unpropitious gathering, and
renders the terse and unyielding address in replyto his excellency's
spew:hot August last a matter of history. Ills excellency oo doubt seem-
latesupon a new session of wide coacedinp. lie hoe discovered theduo-
tile material of which the house iv composed, and toe s;Niolls colour
de roue of easy victory and eincoth finance. Some hard words there
may be. His excellency will bear with that. They at any rate
!mils no nibs. But he speculates a obedience, and the probabilitlia
, he iscorrect. We will believe anything after the results of the intrigues
ig August last.
We hope the house will, now that a locus peniteulie le glvtat
, to it, avail itself of the opportunity of repenting fur the people. A
worse system for all parties than temporising, halhand.half mellstlres
' could not he adopted. If the house would pave the way fora thorough
, radical change in the Imperial policy towards the colonic% its firpt
and most imperative course is to stop the supplies. It in melees ap-
pealing again to the justice of the government. We have appealed
too often. We have no right now to be beggars. Our Manua are not

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, FEB. 6.
The letter from Cardinal Franaoni to the Catholic
primate has excited a vast sensation. It is to-day
the general topic of conversation. The strong
patriotic terms which pervade it prove that the
Roman see is not insensible to passing events. %o
doubt immediate steps will be taken by the Irish
hierarchy to make up their defence, and probably one
of the ablest of their body vrill.be sent over to " an-
swer all such questions as may be put to him." The
choice is likely to fall on the Bishop of Derry.
In the meanwhile the Bishop of Ardagh has addressed
the primate iu reply to the receipt of the cardinal's
letter, which will be found below. Doctor M'Hale
has arrived in town. The other members of the
prelacy will soon follow.
Already the effects of the change through which
we have been passing are felt in the diminished com-
petition for land. In the south, a great number of
farms are advertised for letting, and the repetition of
the advertisements prove the peasantry not so eager
as in times past-
The Iletjast Vindicator, the chief Roman catholic
organ in Uster' has published its final number.
Heavy damages for libel obtained against it were the
proximate cause of the decline, but for some time it
has been in a drooping condition, and now retires to
eternal rest.

The reduced state of the Raids of The British Asso-
ciation for the Relief of Irish Distress has influenced
the committee to contract the circle of its operations.
Henceforth assistance will be restricted to the 24
unions reported as the most dcstitute, and to whicl-
special ir.spectors have been appointed.

it is clearly unsafe to suffer anyone se easily imposed
upon to meddle in ecclesiutical diplomacy.
Meanwhile, an immediate aasemblage of the
bishops has been convened in Dublin, to inquire,
examine, and report how fur the " damnatory re-
ports " are well founded. To the honour of the
catholic hierarchy be it said, there are very few of
their number who have ever been supposed capable
of participation in such practices u those which are
thus impugned.

GERMANY.-1.01:19 PHILIPPE AND 111 E GREAT
Powens.—The Cologne Gazette of the 6th inst., contains an
extract from another journal in which allusion is made to a
" well founded report," that the greet powers have entered
into arrangements amongst themselves which ,s ill enable
them to be fully prepared for the great event which, in the

PARIS, TIIIMSDAY, 5.30 P.m.
As the epoch of the election approaches, timid peo-
ple begin to feel alarm, and those who are not detained
by business or other ties hire, are preparing to remove
till after the effect of the election is known. An in-
surrectional movement by the red republicans and
socialists is what is fairs&

M. Marie, Minister of Justice, who was summoned
to Paris by telegraph, was present in the Assembly
to-day. IL Lamartine is expected in Paris to-

The manifesto of Prince Louis will not appear before
the conclusion of the debate, which will commence on
Saturday. His friends are even divided as to the
policy of his publishing any manifesto whatever.
A great number of members of the Assembly hive
urged General Cavaignac to present to the Assembly
a project of law for closing the clubs. He declines,
however, incurring the odium which would attend
attend such a measure.
_

The reunion of the Hue de Poitiers held a meeting
last evening, to consider and determine on the coarse
to be adopted by that pony on the debate of Satur-
day. Many propositions were made and rejected,
M. Mole observing that no resolution could be taken
by anticipation in a matter of which they were, and
of necessity mast be, uninformed. A proposition of
M. de Rance, to vote against the "ordre dour
motive" that would in all probability be proposed by
General Cavaignao or his friends, was very ill re-
loeived by the meeting. M. de Hance is laid to be a
partisan of Prince Louis.
The congress of legitimist journalists at Hennes
held its first sitting on the 21st. It voted against
a proposition that the legitimist party should abstain
from supporting any candidate. This result is im-
portant, es the legitimists are very influential in the
west of France. It is said to be probable that they
will adopt the candidature of Prince Louis. One of
the secretaries of this congress was the nephew of the
celebrated legitimist Georges CadoudaL
The Presser says " The following letter is ad-
dressed to us by an ex-minister : Sir,—l hasten to
inform you that I have just received a letter from
Marshal Buffeted. He replies to the question which
I put to him with the frankness of his noble character.
He is for the candidateship of Louis Napoleon Bona-
parte, and against that of General Cavaignac. He
states his motives, which are those that everybody
repeats. His letter is dated Dnrantie, the 19th.' "
In the Assembly to-day nothing of interest oc-
curred.

SPAIN.

We have received advice' from Madrid to the 18th
instant. A ministerial crisis is seriously spoken of,
founded, it is said, on the following circumstance :
General Narvaez wished yesterday, as he bad often
done, to have a hunting party at the Casa del Campo.
He went there with some friends, but, on arriving at
the royal residence, be was refused admittance, the
concierge declaring formally that he had been ordered
to admit no one, because her Majesty wished to pass
the day with her household only. General Narvaez
was much offended by this refusal, and thetce reports
were circulated of a ministerial modificstion. It is
supposed, however, that matters will he arranged.
The payment of the half-yearly dividends is secured.
It was reported that operations for the account would
soon be reestablished on the Boles.

IRELAND.

Diriumr, Nov. 23.
Mr. T. F. Meagher publishes a letter—or it is pub-
lished in a morning paper—addressed to Mr. Smith
O'Brien,stating that he thinks before the judges decide
on the errors assigned in his case, they ought clearly
" in equity to hear his (Mr. M.'s) counsel, as the point
in 'either case is the same." The court has granted
what Mr. Meagher suggests, and one counsel each is
to b iet heath in the writ of error case for M.Manue,
Meagher, and O'Donohce previous to judgment.
. C. 0. Duffy has served notices on the Sheriff of
Dublin and the Attorney-Generai, warning the one
against excluding Roman catholic* from the pacel in
his case, and the other from challenging them.
On Sunday last throughout the diocese of Dr.
O'Higgins the Te Deum was offered up for " the

who could neither be cajoled nor intimidated by
England."
I The King's County Chronicle of Wednesday mys :
We rejoice in being able to state that the banditti who
robbed Major Plubbs and murdered Sergeant Grant, near
' this town on the 2nd instant, have been traced out, and that
the greater part of them are now in custody. It is to
efforts such as have been made in this case that we must
look for the suppression of crime, so far as that ob-
ject can be attained by the administration of justice
Fur the family of Sergeant Grant, who have been by this
awful occurrence plunged into misery and distress, much
sympathy has been evinced. In consequence of the bravery
of the unfortunate man, the jury, at the inquest. unani-
mously agreed to memcrialse the authorities on behalf of
the widow and orphans, praying that they might be pro-
vided for. The petition was prepared by Mr. Muir, the
foreman of the jury, and forwarded to Sir George Grey.

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

We stated yesterday in a late edition that we had
received by electric telegraph intimation of the
arrival of the ship Mary Anne, off Portsmouth ; that
she had sailed from the Cape on the 29th of Sep-
tember; and that Sir H. Smith, in a proclamation
dated 21st Sept., announced that the insurrection of
the Boers had been put down. We have since re-
ceived letters from our correspondent, stating that
when the Mary Anae left the Cape, Sir H. Smith
was expected at Cape Town in a few days. In the
action on the 29th of August, 49 of the Boers were
left dead on the field, and their wounded were sup-
posed to amount to 130. 'the English troops lost
7 officers wounded, 8 privates killed, ;and 39
wounded.
