THE BOMBAY MAIL.

My Lord,—l have the honour to acknowledge the receipt
of your note of the 10th inst., relative to the oases of Thomas
Tulley and six other Irish passengers, of the steamer Nova
Scotian, alleged to have been improperly enlisted at Port-
land, and in reply to inform your lordship that I have in-
closed a copy thereof to the Secretary of War, who has the
subject under investigation, —I have, &c.,
(Signed) WILLIAM H• SEWARD,

By the arrival of the Bombay mail we have
received files of papers from Bombay to the 9th of
July, and from Calcutta to. the 30th of Jane.
We take the following summary of sews from
the Overland Bombay Gazette of the Bth July:—
" The latest intelligence received from Cabul is
to the 9th June, from which we learn that Sirdar
Mahonaed Afzul's army has been signally defeated
by the troops of his brother, the Ameer Share Ma-
homed Ali Khan. The engagement took place on the
2d June, near Bameean, the leader of Afzul Khan's
army having attempted to surprise that of the
Ameer, in which he was frustrated, the latter being
fully prepared. The action was long and bloody,
and Afzul Khan's troops evrntually fled in wild
disorder, leaving their guns, ammunition, and camp
equipage on the field. The loss on both sides were
very heavy.

Inolosure 2.
CONSUL MURRAY TO LORD LYONS.
Portland, June 23, 1864.

My Lord,—l have the honour to acknowledge the receipt
of your lordship's despatch dated the 11th inst., authorising
me to employ a lawyer on behalf of Thomas 'pulley and the
other Irishmen who were enlisted into the 20th Maine Re-
giment, if I deemed it advisable to do so.

Thomas Talley presented himself at this office yesterday
on his arrival from Philadelphia. He rid not appear in
uniform, as he stated that he bad been deprived of it by two
men who induced him to go and lodge with them at Boston,
and who the next morning endeavoured to entice him to
re-enlist and accept the bounty money over again. This he
refused to do, and came on in the clothes lent him by the
master of the house, who he believes was in the plot.
I went with Tetley to the provost marshal, who has sent
him to Camp Berry, in this immediate neighbourhood, so
as to be near at hand when required. Tuley knew nothing
about his companions.
Michael Bryne returned from the hospital at Augusta a
few days ago, and told me that ho had obtained a ten days'
furlough. He seemed to have recovered from the wound in
the head, but told me he was suffering from other bodily
ailments.

" Sir Hugh Rose has issued an order to the army,
in which he directs that the issue of ram from can•
teens is for the future to be restricted to one dram
only per man per day.

" Preparations are being made in the Arsenal o
Fort William, Bengal, for the equipment of a force
to be sent to guard the Bhootanese frontier it he

" A shocking railway accident occurred on the
Great Indian Peninsula Railway, between Wassind
and Titwallah, on the Kussarah Line, in the Ron-
kun, about 43 miles from Bombay, on the morning
of the 27th June, by which 15 persons were killed
on the spot, and about 30 others were more or less
injured; one of whom has since died.

listed on their arrival at Portland, in the steamship Nova
Scotian, which has taken place since I had the honour to
address to your lordship my despatch of the 20th ult.
I have the satisfaction of being able to say that six of

the men appear to be for the present in safety. The report
made to Mr Consul Murray that Michael Moran had been
killed has happily proved to be erroneous. I fear, however,
that there can be little reason to doubt that the seventh
man, Thomas Burke, was in. fact killed in action, while
serving in the United States army. I have requested the
United States authorities to communicate to me all the in-
formation which they can obtain respecting his fate.

I regret to say that three of the men represent that they
were subjected to hardships and indignities of a most un-
warrantable kind on their way from the army of the Poto-
mac to Portland. I have requested that an investigation
may be made, and that if the allegations of the men prove
to be well founded, no time may be lost in calling to ac-
count those who are responsible for their ill-treatment.

I have also pointed out that I have received nothing more
than a formal acknowledgment of my note of the 10th ult.,
repeating my demand for the discharge of the men, and 1
have reminded Mr Seward that I am waiting for the an-
swers of the United States Government to that demand.
I have moreover addressed to Mr Seward further in-
quiries respecting James Traynor, the Irish passenger by
the Nova Scotian, who was enlisted at Boston. I have the
honour to enclose a copy of my note, and a copy of a note
from Mr Seward acknowledging the receipt of it.—l have,

deserved and destroying treatment, I firmly allege that no
idea can be had of the misery they endured.
On the 23d they were sent with victims under guard to
Washington, and then transferred to the Old Capitol ; from
thence they were sent in irons to Boston, whete they were
left handcuffed together all night, but for the purpose of
getting sleep they had to break the cuffs. The consequence
was that they were marched through Boston tied with ropes,
and arrived in Portland, as before stated. They did their
utmost to see her Majesty's Ministers in Washington, but
tailed, nor could they see you on their arrival, as they were
sent under guard to this place.

You have in the foregoing an outline of their travels, bat
the men say that as long as they live they wilt not forget
the treatment they received, alter fighting brav:-Iy in all
the late battles, as documents from their officers can make
manifest,

I hope you will pardon this long letter, bat from the
kindness we have received from her Britannic Majesty's
Ministers and yourself, I thought it incumbent on me to
supply such information, and therefore I have, &a.,

LORD LYONS TO Mu SEWARD.
Washington, July 7, 1864.
Sir, —On the 10th of last month I had the honour to
address to you a note, in which, by command of her Ma-
jesty's Government, I renewed the application which I had
made in their name on the 23d of the previous month of
May, for the discharge from the United States army of the
seven Irish passengers by the steamship Nova Scotian, who
were enlisted immediately after their arrival at Portland
on the 18th of last month. You were so good as to inform
me that you had referred my note to the Secretary of War.
I await the answer of the United States Government to the
application which it contained. I must in the meantime
ask your serious attention to the enclosed copy of a letter
addressed to her Majesty's Consul at Portland on behalf of
three of the Irishmen; namely, Michael Moran, James
Higgins, and Martin Hogan. Ido not doubt that you will

cause an investigation to be made of tho allegations re-
specting the hardships and indignities suffered by Moran,
Higgins, and Hogan on their way from the army of the
Potomac to Portland—and I trust that if these allegations
prove to be well founded, no time will be !lost in calling to
account those who are responsible for the ill-treatment of
these unfortunate men.

These three men appear to be now at Portland. I am

informed also that Thomas Tulley is at that place, and that
Michael Bryne and Edward Cassidy have been removed
from the seat of war. The seventh man, Thomas Burke,

is reported to have been killed in action while serving in
the 20th Regiment of Maine Volunteers. I beg you to be
so good as to eommunioate to [me any information respect-
ing his fate which the United States authorities may be
able to obtain.—l have, &0., (Signed) Lroxs.

The Great Polish Trial at Berlin,

The sittings of this important trial, which took
plane on the 25th and 26th July, were occupied by
some very sharp clie.cut-sions on points of the highest
importance to the accused, and excited a good deal
of attention and comment among the general pub-
-Ic. The statement of the crown prosecutor that the
police are justified even in committing a forgery in
the exercise of theft- functions, was especially the
subject of general remark, and great fears are en-
tertained that scant justice will be dealt out to the
prisoners by a Government which expresses such
sentiments through the month of one of its most
important legal functionaries. This incident, oc-
curring at a moment when the Prussian Government
openly disregards the wishes of the people, must
spread just alarm among the friends of liberty in
Prussia, who may now expect to see the slight rem-
nants of constitutionalism left unassailed by Herr
von Bismarck, trodden down by a police placed be-
yond the pale of the law. The following is an
abstract of the proceedings of the sittings in ques-
tion, commencing on the 25th July :
The crown prosecutor opened the proceedings by
handing to the court a list of documents relating to
the trial, which he submitted should now be read.

Herr Holthcff (for the defence) requested to be
furnished with a copy of the list, and submitted
that, before the documents were read, the counsel
for the defence should be heard as to the significance
of each document, as it was impossible for the de-
fence to decide after a single reading of the list
what documents it should protest against as inad-
missible.

Herr Mittelstadt (for the prosecution) explained
that the list was merely a summary of the evidence
that would be produced by the prosecution.
Herr Elven (tor the defence) had no objection to
the list, provided he were furnished with a copy of
it, but strongly protested against the reading of all
the documents, which would occupy another month.
Not one of the accused had as yet been given an
opportunity of defending himself, not a single.wit-
ness had been called, and he therefore thought that
the trial of the accused should now commence, and
each document be put in when the occasion arrived
for its relevancy to be decided on.
Herr Mittelstadt said that the documents must
be read as an appendix to the acte d'accnsation,
which extended to a period of 18 months, and that
as much time would be occupied in reading them
singly as each case came on as if they were reed all
together.

Herr Elven did not object to the time that would
be occupied in reading the documents, but to the
defence being compelled to listen to partisan litera-
ture and newspaper articles fabricated in Posen—
not in revolutionary committees, but in the offices
of the police authorities.

Herr Adelung (the crown prosecutor) considered it
of the highest importance, both to the prosecution
and the accused, that these documents should be
read, as they prove whether the undertaking was
directed against Prussia, and whether the accused
contemplated the re-establishment of the Poland of
1772.

After some discussion, in which Messrs. Lewald

(for the defence), Adelung, and Braehvogel (for the
defence), took part, the President said that the
defence would be, given a copy of the motion of the
crown prosecutor, upon which a decision would be

given to-morrow.
The court then rose.
July H.—The President began by stating that
copies of the list of documents would be provided
for the use of the counsel for the defence, but that
the court had not yet been able to decide on the
motion for reading the documents. He then ordered
the police officials of Poson to be brought up for
examination respecting the discovery of papers at
Count Ozialynski's.

tions to search the house of Count Dziaiynski for
