The Oriental Inland Steam Company's boat
Sutlej left Kotree on the 9th May for Ferazepore, where she
arrived on the 4th June. This is the first instance of the
river Sutlej having been navigated by a ;team vessel for so
long a distance, and the performance is hailed as a great
success throughout the Punjab, eillezially for a first voy-
age, with green wood for fuel, and the channels to learn.
The Sutlej took up the first arrival of commissariat beer
for this year, and the whole of the beer is reported to have
been delivered in first-rate condition, there not being
a single
bad cask on board.--(Bengal Eurkaru, June 16.)—The
Sutlej has since left Ferozepore with a full downward cargo.
Another vessel belonging to the Oriental Inland
Steam Company was launchel yesterday afternoon from
their premises at Garden Retch. Every preparation for
the event had been made by the superintendent, and at
the appointed hour the launch took place without any
hitch. The Ganges is the nime of this last addition to
their fleet, and from appearances we judge her to be ad-
mirably suited for the inland trade. She possesses great
carrying capacity, and her engines are constructed with a
special regard to the occasional need of great power. The
Soane, despatched up c =try &me time since, has an-
swered
admirably the expectations formed of her. This
company realty deserve every encouragement; and if
energy and perseverance command success, as it invariably
does, we have no hesitation in saying they must succeed
eventually. The system of articulated barges will have a
fair trial, and its success or non-success must shortly be
confirmed beyond question.—Bengal Hurkaru, 14th Jllll6.
THE DEAD ON THE FIELD OF BATTLE.—The dif-
ferent postures of the dead always strike a spectator as he
passes over the battle-field. One lay on his back, with his
arms stretched upward at length; another with his head
plunged into a pool of mud and water, having evidently died
slaking his thirst; and a third lay partly on the bank and
partly in the water of a creek, having been shot in cros,ing,
and died clutching the twigs and bushes of the opposite
bank. One, shot through the head, had made himself a bed
of leaves, and lay down, drawing his blanket and overcoat
about him. His uniform and face betokened an officer of
rank. All of the above were of the Yankee slain. During
Tuesday night those engaged in carrying the Confederate
wounded from the field could not use their lanterns,
as every flicker from them was sure to draw the fire of the
Yankees. Nothing was to be found on this portion of the
field but killed and wounded Yankees, and their guns and
knapsacks. A mute, and, to Virginians, a very interesting
story, was told by these knapsacks. Upwards of 300 of them
belonged to the famous New York 7th Regiment, who were
once so feasted and fondled in this city. If a remnant of
them return to the Empire City, they may say with truth
that on Virginian soil they were appropriately welcomed
on the occasion of both their visits as friends and as foes."—

THE EXECUTION OF CsiAvoNE.—ln,a letter from
Rome, dated the 15th of July, and published in the Temps,
the writer says :—I was right in announcing last week the
death of Chiavone, as that chief and two of his lieutenants
were shot by order of Tristany. An officer of the Royalist
bands, who was I resent at the execution, gives the following
details :—Tristany had for some time past been supported
by Ulloa, Minister of 'War, in his pretensions against Chia-
vone. This latter, angry, and without resources, broke
forth into tnenetceo. The two bodies of trooro joined rs
order to effect an operation. One night, at Trisalti, Tris-
tany caused h's adversary to be arrested. A council of war
was improvised; some of the companions of Chiavone de-
posed that he had formed the plan of seizing upon Tristany.
Chiavone was, in consequence, condemned to death, and
with him a man named Teti, and a third, whose name I
have forgotten. The execution took place at eight in the
morning, four hours after the arrest. Chiavone asked for
five minutes to say a few prayere. Teti gave the signal for
firing, after having hurled imprecations against the
Spaniards, Borges, and Tristany, against foreigners in
general, and against the Minister Ulloa That is the ac-
count given, and I believe it to be exact. A past of the
Neapolitan emigrants are furious. They say that the
partisans of Ulloa are traitors—that the Ministers deceive
the King. Lastly, there is a frightful discord in the Royal
camp. The different factions would willingly use their
knives on each other. Ulloa never goes out unaccompanied.
Suspicious.looking people are hovering round the Farnese
alace. All this has the look of the beginning of the end.
The King is at Albano. He expressed the desire that the
young Count de Caserta, who was to go with the Queen-
Mother to Germany, should remain to keep him company,
to which Don Alfonso acceded. They are visited daily by
the officers of the Quirinal and by some young Roman
princes, among whom is the Pamphily Doria.
ELECTIONS DURING THE RECESS.--The follow-
ing is a copy of a bill just brought into the House of
Commons by Mr. Colling, Mr. Dodson, and Mr. Hennessy,
to further limit the time of proceeding to elections during
the recess:—" Whereas by the Act of the 10,h Geo. 111.,
chap. 41, subsequently repealed, but re-enacted and ex-
tended, the Speaker was enabled to issue his warrant
to fib up vacancies during recess in certain cases, after
giving 14 days' notice in the London Gazette; and whereas
the spread of news had become more rapid since the year
1770 ; and whereas unnecessary delay in proceeding to
election is conducive to corrupt practices ; be it enacted by
the Queen's most excellent Majesty, by and with the
advice and consent of the Lords spiritual and temporal,
and Commons in this present parliament assembled, and,
by the authority of the same, as follows :-1. That in the
cases provided for by the 24th Geo. 111., chap. 26, the act
of the 52d Geo. 111., chap. 154, the act of the 21st and 22d
Vic., chap. 110, the Speaker shall issue his writ seven instead
of 14 days after he has notified in the Gazette that he has
received the certificates prescribed by the said acts, and the
said acts shall be so construed as if seven and not 14 days'
notice had been originally insertedin the said acts, and this
act and the said acts shall be construed and read together.'
SINGULAR SUICIDE OF A FOREIGN GENTLE-
srAN.—Yetterday morning an inquiry was made at the
Town of Ramsgate Tavern, High-street, Wapping, re-
specting the death of a gentleman unknown, supposed to
be a German, who committed suicide on Monday evening
last, under the following singular circumstances :—Anne
Howe, of 4, Pier-place, said that about ten o'clock she went
out for the supper beer, and near the Wapping-bridge she
noticed a gentleman walking in the middle of the road
tipsy. He came up to her and asked her to walk with him,
and pulled her about very roughly. She resisted and had
some difficulty in getting away from him, when she ran
over the bridge. She heard him following her, and when
he got to the middle of the bridge he stopped, and she saw
him deliberately jump over the parapet into the water,
She gave an alarm and the drags were procured. She did
not know who deceased was, but he talked like a foreigner
and had the appearance of one. Corroborative testimony
was given, and it was stated that deceased was very well
dressed in a tweed suit, with blue silk cravat, spring
boots, and that his linen was marked "L. K. M." All
efforts to trace the identity of the deceased had been in-
effectual. The Jury returned a verdict of " Suicide while
in a state of intoxication."

PATRIOTISII.—An American Editor thus dis-
tinguishes botween different sorts of patriotism :—" Some
esteem it sweet to die for one's country; others regard it
sweeter to live for one's country; but most of our patriots
held it sweeter still to live upon one's country."
THE HEALTH OF THE HON. MRS. YELVERTON.—
The public generally will be gr!eved, though not surprised,
at learning that, since the extraordinary decision of Lord
Ardmillan in the Yelverton mariiago case, the unhappy
victim of it has been confind toher bed in Crawford's Hotel
in this city. The shock of that unexpected decision was too
much for the delicate nervous system of a lady who pre-
vious to it had been called upon co endure and suffer so
much at the hands of her unworthy husband, and the pro-
babilities are that for a considerable time she will not be
able to leave ler sick room. In making this announcement
we are at the same time happy to add that the amount of
sympathy shown towards Mrs. Yelverton, since the deci-
sion, has been at once large and cordial, many of the best
of our citizens, ladies and gentlemen, having called at her
lodgings to solace her and encourage her in her determina-
tion to have justice done her. Numerous presents, some
them of a very handsome character, have, we understand,
reached her from sympathisers here and in the sister coun-
tries, the _object of the donors being to enable her, now
that it is believed her own fortune must be almost ex-
hausted in litigation, to defend her character and vindicate
her rights in the highest law courts of the kingdom,—
