THE DAY'S NEWS.

The all absorbing topic of news is the intel-
ligence by the overland mail respecting the
mutinies in India. We have devoted a con-
siderable portion of this day's publication to full
details of the melancholy tidings in the papers and
private-advices which have reached us. Truly the
crisis is alarming, but sill not greater than the
mighty power of England can cope with.
Unpleasant although this intelligence may be, itis
gratifying to be able to congratulate the inhabitants
of Liverpool, flea they are at last about to be
relieved from the dangerous necessity of using the
Rivington Thke water for dietetic and household
purposes. The Water Committee met on Saturday,
when, we are informed, a report from the water
engineer, Mr. Duncan, was presented, which, it is
said, set forth the desirability of again having
recourse to the red sandstone water, inasmuch as
the complaints from the inhabitants were so
numerous, and the Pike water so foul and
unhealthy, that he could no longer countenance its
supply for family purposes. The crowded state of
our columns prevent us from noting the matter in '
a seperate article to-day ; to-morrow, however, we
shall have something to say upon the subject.
Of local news this morning there is but little
indeed. At the Borough Sessions on Saturday,
the case of Mr. Harrison Wickham, who had been
fined on two previous occasions by the magistrates,
on informations laid by the police, for permitting
drunkenness on his premises in Lime-street. was
heard before a jury, and the decision of the
magistrates was reversed. We shall have some-
thing to say upon the subject in a day or two.
On Saturday, at noon, Edward Hardman, for the
wilful murder of his wife, expiated his crime on the
gallows in front of Lancaster Castle. He was
found guihy of administering poison to his wife,
and the crime for which he suffered, in may par
ticulars, resembled that of the notorious Palmer
There were about 10,000 to 12,000 persons before
the walls of the castle, many strangers having
arrived by the various trains. The condemned
man the night previous slept very soundly,
and eat his breakfast with much relish
on the morning of the execution. He was
attended to the scaffold by the Rev. Mr. Brown.
He died without a struggle.
Taylor, the driver of the passenger train which
came into collision with a goods train en the
Brighten line, on Monday. has been sentenced by
the Riegate magistrates to two months' imprison-
ment in the House of Correction, negligence on
the part of the prisoner having been proved.
Both the county of Middlesex and the borough
of 011 ham are on the qui viva respecting the
approaching election in each. Mr Byng is the
only candidate for the former, and the electors of
Oldham have evinced a strong feeling in favour of
nominating Mr. Cobden. We may here mention
that Lord Robert Grosvenor will take the title of
Baron Abury, which is the name of the oldest
manors in his family.
The intelligence from the Continent this morn-
ing is not of much importance. The latest news
from the East received by way of Trieste,
bears the Constantinopolitan date of the 22nd, and,
in contradiction to the assertion made by Lord
Palmerston in Parliament, is to the effedt that
Lord Stratford actually has applied for permission
to transport English troops across the Isthmus of
Suez, but has met with a refusal. It was believed
that the noble Lord, in spite of all that had taken
place, would remain at Constantinople. We have,
however, had news that a steamer to be put at his
disposal has been despatched from Malta. The
question of the occupation of the Island of
Termin by the East India Company, was still in
suspense, and the Austrian Internuncio is repre-
sented as having proposed that all the European
powers should
,jointly insist on is restoration to
the Sultan. The Emperor Alexander is expected
at Berlin ahem'. the 51). of September, to be pre-
sent with the King of Prussia at the military
marecavres which are then to take place. The
Emperor, during his stay at Berlin, will reside at
the Russian embassy.
We have later news from Australia. They are of
a satisfactory character. The yield of gold in Vic-
toria is maintained, and, through the application of
new machinery, which was being worked success-
fully, the returns were expected to increase.
During the first six months of the present year
(less one week for which the accounts were not
made up) the amount of gold exported from Mel-
bourne was 1,236,428 ounces, which, valued at
per ounce, was equivalent to £4.945,712. In the
entire six months corresponding in 1856 the
shipments were 1,588,051 ounces, or 6,352,204.
Among the vessels coming forward with specie are
the Norfolk, which left on the 6th July with
-1400,000, and the Montmorency, for Liverpool,
with £200,500. Besides these, the Red Jacket, and
one or two other first-class ships are also now on
the voyage home, so that there can be no doubt the
receipts of the precious metals will continue on a
large scale. The commercial advices are not
unfavourable, and although the warehouses were
overstocked with goods the importers were quietiy
awaiting improved markets.
By th arrival of the Persia at an early hour on
Saturday morning, we are in possession of New
York advices to the 19th inst. It is stated that the
American Government is opposed to the treaty said
to have been lately entered into between Costa
Rica and Nicaragua, by which part of the territory
of the latt:ir is acquired by the former. The charter
of the Tehuantepec Railroad Company, under th©
Garay and Sloo grant, is published in the New
Orleans papers The capital stock of the company
is $lO,OOO 000, V,000,000 of which will be issued
as full pail stock, and delivered to the trustees
who now hold the title to those grants. General
Walker is stated to be making score progress in
collecting funds at the South for another Nieara-
guan expedition, but not to the extent anticipated
by his hien Is. The Southern Commercial Con-
vention had adopted resolutions calliog upon the
government to withdraw the squadron from the
coast of Africa, and to fortify the harbours of
Mobile, and Port Royal, South Carolina. Reso-
lutions endorsing Dudley Mann's scheme,
advocating government patronage for Southern
steamers, and repealing the fishing bounties, were
offereLand referred A serious and fatal collision
occurred on Long Island Sound on the morning
of the 15th host, between the steamer Metropolis
and the propeller JN. Harris. The latter had a
crew of eleven persons, all told, and fourteen pass-
engers, including three children belonging to
Captain Smith. The collision occurred about
half way between Falkland Island and New-
Haven. The propeller was struck nearly amidship
