INDIA AND PERSIA.

A letter from Teheran, of July 3, in the Pays,
states that the revolt in India has produced a great
sensation throughout Persia, that several Ulemas
had openly preached in favour of the Indians, and
that the propaganda would have assumed a very
serious character but for the energy displayed by
the government in putting it down. At the
last dates all was tranquil. Herat was
about to bo evacuated by the Persian troops.
The reason why it has not hitherto been
restored is that for the last six months them
has been war with the principal Affghan tribes
who set up claims to the possession of the town.
News had been received at Teheran that the English
had completely terminated the evacuation of the
Persian Gulf.

Constantinople letters of the 15th (via Trieste)
state that Mr. Murray has called upon the Persian
government to evacuate Herat immediately.

THE LATE DISTURBANCES AT TUNIS.

A letter from Tunis of the 11th, in the Stoorynore
of Marseilles, furnishes details respecting the late
troubles at the former place. It saes:—" On Sato
day last a dispute arose between a Jew and a Moor,
which ended in their coming to blows. A yoangtx
brother of the Jew came to his assistance, and wirend
Moors ran to help their countryman. The Jolt
were beaten and forced to take refuge in the
Bourse, where some Europeans were walking
about. The latter were assailed by the mob, sad
about fifty persons more or less seriously
wounded. The mob then broke everything they
found at the Bourse, and carried away a sum of
1,500 fr. belonging to the director. Meanwhile, the
Europeans shut themselves up in their houses, and
every moment expected to be attacked but after
two hours delay, troops arrived, and the Moors were
dispersed. It is said that several arrests have been
made, inconsequence of the representations of the
French consul. The Bey is endeavouring to obtain
by means of his treasurer, a wealthy and influential
Jew, a declaration signed by the Jews of the place.
as to the good will always displayed by the govertl-
ment towards that race. But this project, it te
thought, will scarcely meet with success. Mom
while Tunis is in a state of great excitement as far
as the Christian population is concerned."

WORSHIP-STREET.

William Batton, a journeyman hatter, wee charged with
having cruelly maltreated hie wife and child.
The prisoner's wife, a careworn, emaciated woman, in
the last stage of pregnancy, and who exhibited such extreme
personal wagering that she was stowed to be sailed while
giving her evidence, said—For the last nine mouth@ my
husband has done no work whatever, but I have cheerfully
supported him, with the assistance of our three children, by
toiling day and night in making up paper bags for the
grocers. I ripply him with as much money as I can out
of the little we earn, but be spends it in drink, leaving we all
in a starving state, and beating me unmercifully when there
is not enough left to furnish him with food Irides. Between
I and 8 o'clock last night he came home intoxicated r reel,
and began abasing me in the most dreadful Isoguage henna
there was no supper ready for him. I told him that I bad
not a farthing of money to get It with ; but he only answered
Me with a blow, as he always dote, and after knocking me
down twice, as be still insisted upon having hie sapper, I
stripped off some of my underclothing, and went or to
pawn it for him. The article was so worthless, however,
that no one would lend me anything upon it; and, es re-
turning back to tell him so, with tears in my eyea, he
knocked me down again; and, taking up a broom, com-
menced beating me with it about the bead, err, and every
port of my pvrquntil I was corned with bruises, and almost
lost my mum While he was ill-using me in this way, one
of my daughters got between as, and was utdeevonring to
me, when he treated her In the Dame manner, and
repron beating us both until he was tired out, and left off
from exhaustion. We managed at lest to neaps from him
and got into the strait, where we were evokes to by a police•
man, who afterwarda took him into mastc:T.
Emily Button, an intelligent little • , years of ,
who cried bitterly whilst giving her evidence, fully
eorrubo-
rated her mother's testimony, and added that while attempt-
ing to shield the latter from further ill- she was herself
brutally attsoked by her father, who blaakesed her eyes ea
they now appeared.
On being called upon for his defence the yAmer solleoly
seplied that his wifeandchild bad exaggerated what bed tikes
Owe, but, me they had it all their own way, it would be so-
lar for him to say anything.
Mr. Hermit severely animadverted upon the towel and
cowardly conduct of the prisoner, and having characterised
the ease sa one of the worst of the kind that had ever been
brought boforo him, ordered him to be oommitted to bard
labour for the consecutive terms of six and three months.
The magistrate also directed one of the officers to provide
the complainant and her daughter, who appeared to be in a
famishing condition, with lore nourishing food, and pre-
sented them with 10e. from the poor-box.

The metal market participates in the grmaral Interruption

all metals are weak with the exception of copper. In copper
there is a steady business doing, although necessarily
limited, and in icon bars and nail rods a few orders have been
given out by pestles desirous of buying at the lower rate* ;
this may also be said of tin platen, but in lead, speller, and
tin,. operations have been few and inconsiderable. Tin ex-
grezil a further decline in English of 34 per ton on

NAPLES.

A letter of Feb. 3, in the Press., says :
" I hasten to communicate to you a piece of news
which shows how far the disorganisation of our go-
vernment has gone. A fortnight ago a report was
spread that the King had abdicated. The statement
was at once contradicted, but a great number of per-
sons, who were so imprudent as to manifest their
joy too soon, were arrested. It was thought that the
thing was at an end; but tho day before yesterday
further .arrests were made, and this time among
employes in the ministerial bureaux. General

was the astonishment when it was known that
the police had laid hands upon relations of M. Bum-
chini, of M. Pasqualiai, the Procurcur-General, amid
even upon the son of a general most devoted to the
King. It was subsequently discovered that a pre-
tended copy of the decree of abdication had been
sent to the Lieutenant-General of Sicily, at Palermo,
and that this officer, suspecting the authenticity of
it, sent for information by telegraph. Every effort
will be made to discover the authors of a forgery
which might hays produced most serious conse-
quences in Sicily."

AUSTRIAN ITALY.

THE AMNESTY.

The Milan Gazette of the 7th mentions the follow-
ing acts of clemency of the Emperor. Twenty-nine
prisoners in the House of Correction at Masa hare
been pardoned, the punishment of two Wises has
been reduced by half, and that of anodise sew
muted into arrest in his own house. Pardon hew
likewise been granted to thirteen prism= at
Brescia, nine at Como, and seven at Pavia. Laid 7.
the proceedings against forty-four inhabitants oldie
communes
of Gerais, Padiancy and Creme:um for
having resisted the gendarmerie in July, 18.55, have
been stopped, together with the preliminary inqui-
ries respecting the part taken by certain other indi-
viduals in the said disturbance.

0 It is stated," says a letter from Milan in the
Augsburg Gazette," that a project exists of uniting
Trieste, Istria, Southern Tyrol, and Dalmatia, with
Lombardy and Venice. AU these would then form
a single province, with Milan u the capital."

AUSTRIAN ITALY.

The Bilanria of Milan publishes a pastoral letter
addressed by the Bishop of Bergamo to all the faith-
ful of his diocese, in which he accuses the Ga:etta
di Bergamo of immoral and irreligious tendencies,
and forbids every one to read or circulate the said
journal, or to contribute to it. The letter concludes
with invoking the aid of the magistrates and of all
the civil authorities in support of the views contained
therein, in virtue of Art. 9 of the Concordat.

THE GREAT SIBERIAN RAILW:I4.—The Abeilie
&Nord, of St. Petersburg, discus°o the advantages of a
communication ?mid the world, beginning with a railway
crossing Siberia in the direction of Irkutsk, and which, in
the opinion of that journal, will be oonatroctsd sooner or
later. It points out the utility of such a commercial commu-
nication, which would unite to Euro the Ruskin rail-
ways, the commerce of Central Ana, Chin , and Japan. The
EuAratco line, and that of Sum, are, says that journal, only
aural to Ragland, and ths Panama route &es not offer the
sdessibmes to be reported hum a railway in Siberia, Which
would be in the power of Russia. It is adcbd that no want

There would be a centre compartment for the Queen, and
two orimrs on the right and on the left to accommodate the
corps diplomatique, the others of state past and present, dis-
tinguished laymen, and military officers, including the rela-
tions of throe who were to receive the decoration. Indepen-
dent of that there would be two wings or open compartment.

Any peer or member of parliament deeirous of attending

pendent of the accommodation be had mentioned there

\ modation would be the same for ladies as gentlemen. Any
, gentleman daimon of taking a female Mead, or any female
member of his family, had only to mete that intimetionto the
f ri...erenosater-Oeseral, and he had no doubt tickets would

be forwarded him.
Yeeterday orders were forwarded to the commanding
Acne of regiments in which those gallant conkers and men
who have been minted for their bravery to wear the decora-
tion of the Victoria Cross may be nerving to send them per

has brought fißy-five passengers. Amongst her
cargo is specie to the value of 2,4631.
Her Majesty's ship Princess Royal was at Lisbon.
From Lisbon we learn that the apostolic nuncio had
given a diplomatic dinner, at which the foreign
ministers were present. The concordat is to be
brought before the Cortes in open session by the
government. The tobacco contract is to be put up
to auction for three years. The grape
disease has mado its appearance. The
salt pits at St. Übe' promise to afford an abun-
dant supply. The weather has been wet and
stormy, and the price of bread has risen. The olive
trees promise a plentiful yield. The disease in the
orange trees has been arrested. Exchange on Lon.
don is 3 higher than by last packet. Owing to the
large supply of Brazil paper the Stock market
continues dull.
From Gibraltar we learn that her Majesty's
steam sloop Vulture had returned from a cruise on
the Riff coast, and was preparing for another cruise

to Tangiers.
The American bark Nevada left Gibraltar for
Genoa laden with cannon, which have been sent
from the citizens of Boston to the fortress of Ales-

With respect to another point, that of arming our
troops with the improved mulct, there can he no two
opinions. Yet, u thit,gs are now managed, how many
years will it take before this is effected ? At the present
moment, the militia have none, there are none in our stores,
and the whole of the Bast India Company troops arc yet to
be provided ;—a matter not to be overlooked when we must
be prepared for a, many Chinese and Persian were , and
that, however barbarous our enemy may be, we cannot ex-
pect enceess when we do not make use of that superiority
which civilisation has given us. We cannot reckon our
militia and stores at lese than 600,000 ring, taking
one expense with another, at least 1,600" . The sooner,
therefore, this is done the better. But, uudead of the matter
being placed dearly before the house, the country is faked
for one-third that sum ; and year after year this will be
repeated, until we hare paid double what we should if we
looked the matter boldly in the face. Whilst if in the mean-
time any emergency aria., the cry for Minies will be
answeted by the echo, Where?" It must not, however,
be supposed fora moment that the Commander-in-Chief, or
than mull-abused gentlemen, the heads of departments at
Woolwich, are answerable for such deficiencies. The Com-

the militia muskets could not be replaced. The disaster. of

what time should be chosen for remedying this P A time

THE GENERAL OMNIDUA COMPANY —A corres-
pondent writes :—..The Bow-road, between Bow Church
and Whit chapel, is hourly the setae of most disgraceful
omnibus rivalry on the part of the General (French)
Omnibus Company. Hitherto high fares and bad accommo-
dation, with no regular time, has prevailed. With a view
of giving tho inhabnanta in this vicinity of the metropolis a
more meaoneble conveyance, a poor omnibus praprietor has
begun the task by placing a single vehicle on the road.which
runs hourly between how end the Bunk at a reduction of 26
per cent. in the fares, it being abundantly proved that short
traffic at low raw, as on the Sboreditch and Borough route,
is the most remunerative. Never was • cat more worried by
■ dog than this poor independent omnibus has been by the
great French company. In 01l its travvls it boa an escort of
two or three vehicles of the French company, one behind
and another beforv,' accompanied with the usual racing,
wearing, and other disgraceful scenes.

TILE PAPAL STATES.

BETWEEN THE FRENCH
AND ITALIAN SOLDIERS.
(/1011 OUR Owl C011111PONDRICT.)
ItoME, JUNE 18.
The Bolognese, in the memorial which they
presented to the Pope, alluded to the prolonged
occupation of the country by foreign troops.
Here, in Rome, national antipathy between
the Italian and French soldiery has produced
several sanguinary frays during the last week,
and it has required a due 'dim:titre of severity
and indulgence on the part of the French general
and the Roman military authorities to patch up
• reconciliation between the enraged belligerents.
The blame of the affair is generally attributed to
some soldiers of the 25th French Regiment, re-
cently returned from the Crimea, who abused the
Romans as well as their own comrades for being
" Boldats du Pape." The Roman Chalmers were
especially indignant at beholding the Frenchmen
walking before their barracks with bits of mam-
mal in their mouths, which they pretended to
smoke like pipes, an affront which the Chaascurs
would have avenged at once if their major had not
been on the spot and restrained them. The major
complained to the French general, and assured him
that a massacre would have taken place if he had
not used to the utmost his authority over his own

FATAL

The Piazza della Chiesa Nuova has been the
principal arena for the combatants hitherto, one or
two of whom have been killed, and several severely
wounded, in their various skirmishes ; and the in-
habitants of the Regola, principally fcllmongers,
with amazingly long. knives, showed a decided dis-
position to take part in the fray.
On Thursday last, about two hundred Roman
Chasseurs went into the gardens of the French
Academy at the Villa Medici with hostile intentions
towards any French soldiers whom they might fall
In with there, but the latter, finding themselves in a
decided minority, prudently avoided the contest, and
the Director of the Academy, M. Sehnetz, went
down to remonstrate with the Chafteuri upon the

impropriety of their invading a private promenade,
and driving away with alarm peaceable women and
children. After some parleying the Chasocurs went
off without running the expected muck.
The reiult of all this has been a severe ordre du
jour from General Goyou, followed by the distribu-
tion of money for a grand peacemaking, so that for
the last two or three afternoons groups of dragoons
and infantry-men, chasseurs and artillerymen, of the
two armies have been seen arm-in-arm, resorting to
beer-shops and Merit's, where the recent battle cries
have given place to stentorian shouts of " Buon
, Frames! Buon 'Milano!"
