INDIA.

BOMBAY. BErv. I (via Brindisi).
The latest intelligence from the lluzara fron-
tiers states that complete quietude exists now in
that dis'riet. An unusually large force was col-
lected under General Wilde in order to be pre-
-I:;fur any emergency. The recent heavy rains
ecaused great destruction to property in Ahme-
dabad, and many thousand native houses have
bet n either damaged or destroyed. The Times of
Indio, in a long and highly eulogistic article, re-
views Dr. Birwood's career, and his public services
in connection with Bombay. The news that the
Duke of Edinburgh was to visit India during the
next cold season has caused the greatest satisfac-
tion throughout the country. It is confidently an-
nounced that the Indian navy is to be revived.

DEPARTME OF THE CHARNEL FLEET FROM
Tax Cxxxix.—The Channel Squadron left the Tail of the
Bank on Thursday morning between 9 and 10 o'clock, and
proceeded down the river under easy steam. With the ex-
ception of the Warrior, the squadron is bound for Milford
Raven, in Wales; but the Warrior has been ordered to
Portsmouth,i where a court-martial is to be held on the recent
collision between that ship and the Royal Oak. The
sailors' regatta, which was to have taken place on Satur-
day afternoon, did not oome off in consequence of the
exceeding roughness of the weather ; and a representation
was made to Admiral Warden by several influential gen-
tlemen of Greenock to defer the departure of the fleet till
Tuesday, in order to allow the regatta to come off, but the
request was not complied with. Very few persons wit-
nessed the departure of the fleet, and the " iron mon-
stem " slipped away in the most unpretending manner
possible. It is officially computed that upwards of 60.000
persons have visited the fleet during its stay.—Giagew

STEAM IN THE DOCK WAREHOUSES.—The
enormous value of the property stored in the bonded waro-
houses—in one block in Cutler-street, Houndeditch, there
is raw silk worth five millions of money—has hitherto
forced the insurance offices peremptorily to forbid the use
in them of steampower for the performance of the large
amount of labour which has every day to be done ; this
state of things, however, is coming to an end. The Inge-
nuity of Mr. Arthur Jackson has devised a mode of using
gas for heating the furnaces of boilers, and from hence-
forth the prohibition against steam may be regarded as
withdrawn. The first of Mr. Jackson's patent boiler* has
been completed at Cutler-street. It is of 4-horse power,
and is nearly three feet in diameter. It is placed in •
small house on a level with the top floor between the A
and B wen bourns; beneath is the furnace, containing, a
sense of burners, which, when all lighted, will raise steam
to 601b5., from cold water, in 2.5 minutes. When the
required point has been reached one or two burners will
suffice to keep the pressure gauge stationary until power
is wanted, and then, at a moment's notice, the furnaoocun
be fully kindled, and the °twine set in motion.
SHOCKINO ACCIDENT IN THE ClTY.—Yosterday
afternoon a man named Cox, in the service of the North
London Railway Compuly, was engaged is cleaning the
front of the Fenchurch-"treet station, when he met with a
dreadful accident. There is • fiat covering which pro-
jects over the footway in front of the terminus, and runs
the whole length of the building. For the purpose of
getting as much light as possible below this covering is
composed in great part of large squares of thick rough
glass, divided by sir ips of iron or wood, sufficiently broad
to give 'tending room for any person employed in work
such as that which Cos was performing yes-
terday. The unfortunate man had a ladder which
rested on the solid part of the framework, and was
ro far safe. He was seen, however, by several of the
porters to jump from the fourth or fifth round of the lad-
der on to the glow, evidently supposing it was strong
enough to bear his weight. As might have been
he fell through, and come on the flagstones 'sre.s
with great force, cutting himself fearfully with the broken
glass. He was tikes up Remade.* and carried to the hoe-
pital, when ho lies in a precarious condition.
