Political intelligence by Nubia.

SUEZ, Jim. I.
From her British Majesty's Vice-Consul, Suez, to
Acting-Cossul General Green, Alexandria:
General Havelock died on the 28th Nov., from
dysentery, brought on by exposure and anxiety.
On the 27th November an affair took place near
Cawnpore between General Windham and his divi-
sion and the Gwalior mutineers, in which the British
troops retreated, with the total lass of the tents of
the Nth, 82nd, and 88th Regiments, 3,000 in num-
ber, which were entirely burnt by the enemy. The
84th Regiment is reported nearly cut up.

A message, received by the Governor-General
from Sir Colin Campbell, of the 7th December,
01:112tAilla an amount of an action fought by him with
the Owalior Contingent near Cawnpore, in which
the latter were totally defeated, with the loss of 16
guns, 26 carriages of different sorts, an immense
quantity of ammunition, stores, grain, bullocks, and
the whole of the baggage of the force. The British
loss was insignificant, one officer only killed, viz.,
Lieutenant Salmon.

All the women and children, sick, &c., from
Lucknow, have arrived in safety at Allahabad.
The Calcutta Gazette Artraordinary contains a
very deeply-interesting detailed account of the
defence of Lucknow, being the official report of
Brigadier Inglis. The privations endured by the
heroic garrison, and particularly by the ladies, were

Colonel Rooke, 19th Regiment, died at Calcutta,
from cholera, 30th Nov. Captain Day, of the 64th,

The following regiments have arrived at Calcutta :
—Bth regiment, 87th regiment, 79th Highlanders,
17th Hussars, 2nd Dragoon Guards, 3rd Battalion
Rifle Brigade, and a detachment of artillery.
Very little news from China. The Adelaide, with
the last detachment of 500 Marines on board, pained
on from Singapore on the 2nd December, and an
attack on Canton was expected to take place on their
arrival.

OPENING 'OP THE PRUSSIAN CHAMBERS.
The Prussian Chambers were opened yesterday,
when the Prince Regent delivered the following
speech :
" I present myself to the National Deputies with
painful feelings, but much confidence.
" I am called by the King to assume the Re-
gency, until God in his mercy shall have allowed
him again to discharge the duties of his royal office
—en event which I incessantly pray for. It is a
source of relief to me, that the King, in his
can for the common weal, has summoned me
to assume the regency. In obedience to this inti-
mation of the royal will, I have, in consideration of
existing circumstances, and of the precedents of
our country, undertaken the heavy burden and re-
sponsibility.
" It is my earnest intention to do henceforth
what the constitution and the laws of the country
require. I expect that the Chamber! will do like-
wise. All the documents relating to the regency
shall be communicated by a special menage to the
united Chambers, and, if required, all farther ex-
planation deemed necessary shall be given.
" The more gloomy the sspeot of affairs is, in
consequence of the King's health, the higher the
standard of Prussia must be raised, by the conscien-
tious discharge of our duty and by mutual confi-
dence."

The Prince Regent concluded the speech with
the exclamation, " God an the King."

BERLIN, WIDNILISDAY EVIIIIIWO.

The First and Second Chambers have re-elected
ananimowily their president, vice-president, and
other officials of the last Session, and adopted
unanimously a provisionally-prepared order of the
House.

To-morrow, at one o'clock, a united sitting of both
Chambers will take place.

Aa order bad been i.e.:dated boa head-oulhate for
their being finally disbanded, and despatched to
their homes in small parties of 20 at a time. This
e'er was read on parade. There were then no
oral of diratisfaetion or insubordination. BA
when the men returned to barracks a dreadful
rumour grew that the intention of Government
was thus to divide them, in order that each detach-
ment might be cut to pieces on its way down to
Lahore. Then the men became raid and desperate.
" Armed with clubs, pieces of wood, fragments of their
" beds, or anything they could lay their hands apse,
" they rushed from their lines, howling like fiends,
" and made direct for the Artillery barrack', their
" object being to capture the guns." In this object
they were happily defeated. Reinforcements came
up, and a horrible, though no doubt necessary,
butchery commenced. The unarmed multitude were
fired into, and 360 at once laid dead on the
ground. The rest escaped for a time, but hot
pursuit was made, and of some 1,900 who rese
in mutiny, 1,150 in all were " disposed of.',
A more horrible instance of mad mutiny and tre-
mendous retribution has not been furnished even by
the dismal history of these Indian wan. Apart
from this dreadful episode, the more detailed news
from India, which we published yesterday, is cal-
culated to produce a more cheerful and confident
conviction of the rapidly approximating close of this
hamming struggle, than any which we have yet
had to chronicle.

The principal movement exhibited in this return
is in the " other " deposits. Large sums were pre-
bably lodged in preparation for the engagements

possible that the East India Company may have
made use of a portion of their balance at the Beek.
The drerenes in the " other " deposits is to • great
extent made up by the influx of government depo-
sits, and the continued decline in the " other" secu-
rities attests the smallness of the discount business

MURDER IN RADNORSHIRE

The freedom of this secluded Welsh county from
crime, of amp:thud. has parsed into a local proverb ; the
greater, therefore. has been the excitement felt in the tomtit,
this week, at the discovery of • murder committed in the
broad daylight, upon a respectable farmer. Mr. William Prick
who, until his untimely end, resided at Own-, r. Mon farm, in
the pariah of Llirow, Just over the Herefordshire
Mboundary.e
T dammed, Mr. Prior, was a married maii, and far som
time pot a young carpenter, named Burton, living in its
vicinity, had been paying hie Adresse to his eldest daughter.
Them attentions were obnoxious to Mr. ?doe, who took
means to put • top to the intimacy ; he thus men
into collision with young Burton, with whom, ca
more than one omagion, he had high words, and e
strong degree of ill-feeling had thus been engendered.
On the afternoon of Tuesday last young Burton and the de-
ceased happened to meet on there'd leading from Upper Cal:ales
to BMWs, at no greatdimmos from Mr. Price's reeidence ; a
mated ensued between them, sad Mr. Prim is hie anger.
threatened to knock Burton's head off with • stick he had
,in his hand. They sseeppaa ed, going different ways; but
Burton had not proceeded tar before be met with his father,
to whom he related what hod ocourred between hint and
the deceased, and the threat made use of. Father and sea
weft is search of Mr. Price, sad in following up their hum.
tics they met • labourer on the road, of whom they enquired
er wheth he had ewe deceased, and who told them t . would
overtake Mr Prim on Merced. They came up with deceased
little further on, near the seat of the Muter of the Rolls ; they
were heard to quarrel, sad blows followed, one of which, on the
bead of Mr. Price, was so minim ma to cause his death, if
not immediately, in a few minutes alter it was indicted.
Burton and his eon saw again the labourer with whom they
had spoken, told him that they bad killed Mr. Prim, and
that he had better go and see about it.
It is said that the murderous blow was Inflicted by young
Burton, with • cattrai, which he was carrying at the time.
The unfortunate deceased was conveyed to his home, whence,
within the last fortnight have tamed the corpses of three of
his children.

SARDMA.

rum)
TURIN, MAT 4,
Now that we are in possession of the entire speech
delivered by Lord Stalmesbury in answer to the
Earl of Airlie, a serious and depressed feeling pre.
rails. There is in that harangue such an ungenisi
aridity, such an icy breath, that men's souls are con-
gealed by it. He could not have given to the world
a more flagrant proof that diplomacy, if not a heel
without brains, s a form without a soul, under
which the weak are crushed. When Sardinia roes
four years ago and prepared for the contest in the
Crimea, she little thought such language would be
publicly uttered respecting her in the English len.
lature. Two of his lordship's phrases have seemed
to us peculiar; in one, he rays that Naples
deserves praise, because she so promptly complisi
with England's demand for the liberation of the
two engineers. But Naples, after its brutal treat.
ment of those two innocent men for several mouths,
became so benignant and kind all of • sudden, be.
cause ohs saw that Piedmont did not mean to girt
way, and that being united to Great Britain she wes
invincible. So, whilst she talks to Piedmont abort
acting on her own laws and giving free play to her
own courts of justice, she has, contrary to those same
laws of hers, set your two engineers at liberty.
Thus, it is perfectly clear that the British govern..
ment has derived advantages of the firmness die.
played by the Piedmontese ministry, and re.
wards us, the Sardinian people, by leaving
11/ in the lurch, just as we are running
the risk of losing by this untoward event all the
moral strength we had gained both in Italy and
Europe in the course of many years, at the cost of
so much blood and treasure, not to speak of the
isolation we have braved.

(MON OUR OWN COI

The other singular phrase of your Foreign Minister
was that in which he affirmed that the loss sus•
twined by the two engineers would not have hap.
pened, if your diplomatic relations with Naples had
not been interrupted two years ago. By this it is
equally clear, that the tories regret that occurrence,
and sigh for the first favourable moment of restoring
the status quo ante. We await with deep anxiety,
therefore, the result of Binglake's motion ; but the
recent doings of your two cabinets do not induce to
to entertain hopes of too ardent a description.

Sir John Lister Kaye, Bart, of 64, Portland-Ow,
London ; Sir Charles Henry Ibbetstm, Bart., of Blount's-
court, Reeding ; and Ilr.Wtiltain R. Fryer, solicitor, of Win-

magistrates st Wimborne for killing thirty-eight pheasants
out of season at Lytchet Matravers, Dorestehire. The de-
fendants did not personally appear, and after service of the
summons had been proved, the eases were proceeded
with separately against each. It appeared that ft
the bid, 3rd, and sth of February last the party
were out shooting together, when a number of pheasairts
were killed. The chief whiter wee the person who had
been employed as gamekeeperonthe estate,and Ittihad written
a letter to Sir John Key., stating that he had been offered
201. to lay the information, which he now acknowledged to
be false. It was also stated on the part of the defence that
he had counselled the killing of the pheasants on the ground
that there were too many hens left by the gentlemen who had
the shooting up to the let of February. Sir John Kaye was
oonvited of killing fifteen, Sir Charles Ibbeteon four, and
Ur. Fryer ten, the penalty being one pound for each had,
with all reseonable coots. The magistrates, however, en-
pressed their readiness to grant a case for the opinion of the

Altar a discussion, in the course of which it was urged en

metes amount of valuable house property in the city, was
bound to eiti in the promotion of such an undertaking •
on the other, that a previous vote of the court tied its beads
from fames pants of such a character until its finesate
should be in a more prosperous state ; that the vote would he
"denominational," and ought not, therefore, to be 111100/1
raged ; that the &arch was sufficiently wealthy to make the
proposed alterations at its own expense; and that no addi-
tional accommodation was demanded, sine, the avenge at-
tendance to the city churches did not exceed fifty at a single

The amendment was misfired, both upon a show of

LONDON HOBPIT4L.

The one hundred and eighteenth anniversary
festival of this charity was celebrated last evening at the
London Tavern ; the Rail of Cartueve in the chair. The
company was numerate, end included Mr. Heirun, M.P.,
Mr. W. Cotton, Mr. Currie, Captain Currie, the Rev. Mr.
Roweell, Mr. Davis, Mr. J. Fowell Buxton, &c. The Lon-
don Hospital, which is situated in the midst of a dense
working population in the feet of the metropolis, amongst
whom, in addition to the cedinary types of disease, a larger
proportion of casualties might be expected to occur than
elsewhere, most asoemarily have demands made upon it,
especially in lemons of preemie, out of all proportion with
the 11110IITCOB at its commend. The committee of the hospital
found it necessary, therefore, to sell stock het year to the
extent of 7,6001., in order to meet a deficiency of income
spreading over several years. The following figures bear
striking testimony at once to the value of the hospital and to
the preesure uppcon its reV•11118/. The oat-patients teat year
amounted to 24,848, exclusive of trifling ceattalties. The in-
patients amounted to 3,936 ; of these, 2,898 were admitted freely
without any recommendation or restriction so that the oha-

public support; but the peculiar circumstances el the Lon-
don Hospital, which wee located in the neighbourhood of
the docks, railways, and large manufacturing °miaow, de-
manded special ounsideration. The number of accidents re-
lieved during the peat year which amounted to 11,000,
showed the importance of the institution. The rate of 1110 T.
talky in the hospital was low, rarely saceeding 8 per cent.
Lest year the expenses amounted to 17.0001., whilst
the died income amounted to only 12,0001., show
a tleddency of 6,0001. ; and in the year 1860,
when the long annuities would fall in, there would be a
falling off of 1,6001. a-year. He was sure, however, that
W hinds of such an institulion, whether Jew or Christian,
would not despair when there was ouch an occasion for sus-
tained, and even increased exertion. He spoke conscien-
tiously when he said there was no better investment for the
superfluity which the bounty of God had bestowed on them
than that which wee offered by the London Hospital, and
In that confident belief he proposed its continued prosperity.
The toast was drunk with enthusiasm. The other toasts of the
evening in additives to the customary loyal ones, wen those
of the Chairman," proposed by Mr. Cotton ; " The Duke
of Causbridge, President of the Charity;' "The Members of
the House of Commons," to which Mr. Henbury responded ;
and the various Akers of the institution. The sabecrip-
hoes of the evening amounted loth, liberal sum of 2481.

LIWLS O. LIVT.-NEWSPAPILIS REPORTS.

This was en action for a libel which appeared in the Daily
Dili:graph. and purported to be a report of certain proceedings
before an alderman of the city of land= upon a charge of
perjury which wan made against the plaintiff. The charge
was ultimately diemiesed, snd the plaintiff brought this
action to recover damages for libellous statements contained
in the reports which were published from thin to thee in that
journal. To this action the defendant *stied that the re
ports were true and faithful accounts of the
before the alderman, and that they wets pub hoes lacy
and without malice. The trial of the cue took plies in this
court before Lord Campbell, when the jury retuned a verdict
' for the defendant. Subsequently a rule woe obtained for a
new trial to enter a verdict fur the plaintiff, and this raised
the question whether a bona tide publication of • true and
faithful account of an lavutigation before a magistrate upon
• criminal chirp was privileged.
