INDIA.

We have been favoured with the following letter,
written by an officer, and dr.ted from the banks of the
Chenab:—

"December 14.
" We are still here, and nothing done since my last letter,
at least, nothing of consequence. At the time of writing,
there was every chance of some hard fighting. From the
22d till the 3d, we were in the face of the enemy. They had
possession of the river. On the day after the arrival of the
heavy guns some were brought into position, and a strong
division of the army was detached, under the command of
General Thackwell, to cross at a ford some fives miles up the
river, with the intention of taking the enemy in flank. On
their arrival, however, at the ford, it was found to be occu-
pied in force by the enemy. The General, therefore, pushed
on to Wuzeerabad, some way higher up, got possession of
some boats, and crossed over has force easily.
" The appearance of the column was to be pie signal for
the heavy guns to open. They did good service, and soon
obliged the enemy to retire out of fire; but they keptpos-
session,of the ford with a few gyms they had in battery.
" The enemy had heard of T hackwell's march, and went
out in force to meet him. They got possession of a strong
position between two villages, with a nullah and some high
sugar-cane fields, which afforded capital shelter to their skir-
mishers. Thackwell found them all ready to receive him.
It was merely an artillery fight, ours doing great execution
among them. Above 300 were killed. Night coming on saved
them. During the night they fell back upon the Jhelum. and
have now entrenched themselves very strongly. They have
a village on their right and left, with thick jungle; the
Jhelum in their rear, and a fine open plain in front for the
play of their guns—the only way by which we can attack
them. Provisions are said to be very scarce in their camp.
Major Lawrence is a prisoner in their hands.' Nothing is to
be done till the fall of Moultan. The whole of the troops are
expected there on the 23d, and it is supposed they will take
it about the first week in January, when that force will be
available to co-operate with us. All the wounded are getting
on very well. Captain Fitzgerald died of his wounds. Pro-
visions and forage are very plentiful with us. Attock still
holds out. The Seikhs,are good soldiers, and know how to use
a sword well.

The Chenab is a very difficult river to cross. The ford
is very deep and uncertain. The enemy certainly know how
to take up a good position. I have been all over it since.
We could never have crossed it in their face. They would
have licked us to a certainty. Before getting to the river
there are very heavy sands, which knock up the cattle corn-
pletely. They had entrenched themselves on the other side
of the river, opposite the ford, and they had also two large
islands (at least they are islands when the river is full) on
which they had batteries and entrenchments. Their skir-
mishers dig holes for themselves in which they are quite
safe.
" They have taken a good many camels from us. and have
no cause to be dissatisfied as yet with what they have done.
We appear always to fight our Ipttles after long marches,
when the troops are tired. Thackwell's affair was entirely
of artillery, and the enemy were driven from their guns;
but Thackwell would not take them. He had lots of fine
cavalry, but after the enemy had left their guns he would
not follow up his success. Every one who was there says
that if he had let the cavalry at them he must have taken
the whole of their guns. The cavalry had done nothing all
day.
" When the enemy found he would not advance they re-
turned and took away the guns. I expect we lost nearly as
many men as they did. The Commander-in-Chief hasorders
from the Governor-General not to cross the Chenab till after
the fall of Moultan ; he can cross for a day or two, but must
return to head-quarters. Thackwell's force is about thirteen
miles the ether side. We are all tired of this work—it's very
stupid in tents, and very cold."

(From, the Delhi Gazette of Dec. 27 )
MOULTAN.
We are in receipt of the following communications from
Wuhan, which give us already a foretaste of what is
speedily to follow. It will be seen by our Bahawulpoor cor-
respondence that the frequent cavalry reconnoissances on
the part of General Whish have closed the gates of Moult=
against the entry of the large supplies that have hitherto

found their way 3 into the town, and that the price of grain
has already suffered a material increase. We may now daily
look for important events from the southern extrernitymt the
Peujaub

"Camp Moultan, Dec. 19, 1818.
" Our camp now exhibits the bustle of preparations. All
yesterday hackeries were moving to and fro from the ghat
with heavy munitions of war; they are again to-day on the
same errand. Cattle has also been sent for the train. Cot.
Dundas will be here on Thursday, and I believe that it is in
contemplation to move into position on Friday, the siege to
commence on Monday. A day or two ago we had a report
that the Dewan was engaged in making some small boats ;
perhaps he has caught the idea of escaping over the ghats
into the country beyond the Indus. On Shaika Imam-ood•
deen's advance upon Jhung, a man came out to meet him, in-
forming him that Narain Singh had halted, so quiet posses-
sion was taken. The enemy came back to Moultan in small
detachments as quick as possible, and it is believed their
leader is snug in the fort of Chuneeout. Yesterday the 11th
Light Cavalry went out towards Seetul-ke-blaree, and were
afterwards followed by some of Jacob's horse ; the latter had
a skirmish and two men wounded, but succeeded in capturing
a number of camels. The pioneers are hard at work exca-
vating
trenches, &c., that they may be au fait at the real
work ere long. The battery and mine are beautifully
constructed, and are certainly chefs d'ceuvre of engineering
skill.
" We are very badly off for dooly bearers • an order has
been issued for an equal distribution of the few we possess.
On (lit that our original full complement of Hindastanee
Kahirs was discharged, as they refused to make ice. Pun-
jabee ones entertained in their stead; and as might be ex-
pected their patriotic zeal has led them to decamp to the
great detriment of our hospital establishment. We are
famously off for supplies, the people of the country well
knowing which side their bread is buttered.
" Yours, Tnaox."
" Camp Moultan, Dec. 21, 1848.
" The guns and park, Sac., of our beaux camarades, the
Ducks, came into camp yesterday afternoon, and were
followed by themselves this morning, all in high glee and
_ _

health. -
" To-morrow morning we are to move into position as I told
you in my last, but nobody knows whither or where. The
scaling ladders have been inspected and measured of late,
so a dour in that quarter is not at all impracticable. Per-
haps the evening of Christmas-day will witness a hard fight.
Nioolraj thinks so, as it is the Fed of the Feringees ; a good
look-out to be kept aecordingly. _ _

" Many desertions from the Dewan occur daily. Beyond
his stanch little garrison, I expect he will have no adherents
that will give us much trouble.

" Yesterday a large gang of Bunneeas were seized actually
smuggling provisions into Moultan; they certainly ought to
be hung, as they deserve.
" A court-martial has awarded forty-five lashes to an in-
subordinate sepoy of the 51st Native Infantry, but the sen-
tence has not yet been carried into effect.
" The weather is piercing cold night and day.,
" Tours, ac TIMM"
BAHAWULPOOR, DEC. 20.—(From our Native News-
writer) :

" The Flurkaru says that ever since the arrival of the first
part of the Sinde troops, their cavalry are going daily round
the town, and to various parts in the neighbourhood, by
which they now prevent the Moultanees from receiving sup-
plies. The second portion of the Sinde troops has reached
as far as the garden of Aveewallah, and the third portion
must arrive shortly. As soon as the whole have arrived the
siege will recommence. The British General has issued an
order that all the Bahawulpoores, Affghans, &c., are to take
up a position in the rear, the Bombay regiments taking their
place. It has also been intimated to such of the allies as
choose to remain that they were welcome, while those who
now wish to go home were at liberty to do so, and ;would re-
ceive their pay. The number of guns and mortars that have
come from Bombay is said to be 35, and the number of boats
stored with ammunition, &c., 150. The guns that were
taken from Moolraj tare going to be embarked in some of
these boats, and also the wounded and invalids.
" DEC. 19.—The troops of Cortlandt Saheb have been
directed to remain at Soorujkoond when the arrangements
fur the attack ace complete. Some of the troops from Sinde
are this day at Soojahabad, Their approach has instilled
great fear into the minds of the Mooltanese, some of whom
are daily absconding. The Dewan is entrenching the Ava
Sheedee Lall. Nawab Bahawul Khan is still at Sunkrassee,
and is waiting to have an interview with the Governor of
Sinde, who is marching up the country.
"DEC. 21.—A reconnoissance was effected by the British
on the 18th. Some of the troops of the Dewan came out and
fired with matchlocks on the cavalry, doing some damage.
On the 16th the Dewan went to the Shevala and made ar-
rangements for intercepting the British should they make
the usual reconnoissance. Hurdas Singh was accordingly
posted on the Ava Mundee wallah, 500 men with two guns
at Kutta Bairagee, and 600 men at Shheshmuhul. Dewan
Moolraj was sitting on the Koonee Boorj, watching the
British with his telescope when they were marching round
on the 18th, and hence made his arrangements on the 19th.
He has ordered the trenches at Seetul-ke-Maree to be de-
stroyed. Supplies are now not received at Moultan in con-
sequence of the British being more vigilant, and wheat is
selling at 61,4 seers per rupee.
"DEC. 22.—Dewan Moolraj went out on the morning of
the 20th to inspect the entrenchment he is himself raising.
He stood to see a road from the Ghurree of Misree-Khan to
the garden of Lankee Khan to be cut up, and ordered 1,200
Goorka Sepoys to take up a position between the Bohur and
Loharee Durwazus. He also ordered some houses to be de-
stroyed, the owners ;raising loud complaints, on which the
Dewan said they must submit for the public benefit. Three
guns from the Shevala had been planted near the Bohur
gate on a battery prepared on purpose. The Dewan himself
paid the Goorkhas and his artillerymen. Narian Singh is
reported to have got into the fort of Chuneout, notwitstand-
ing the endeavours of the country people to prevent him;
but his being possessed of guns gave him a superiority over
them. Shaika Emam-ood-deen, instead of returning to
Moultan, has been ordered to move on Chuneout. The price
of wheat has risen to six seers."

NATIONAL _DEBT.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sir.,—lt is matter of surprise that some determined
expression of public opinion has never been made in
favour of an attempt to liquidate the National Debt,
either by arrangement with the national creditors for
instalments at long periods, or large compositions to-
wards an early settlement.
The letter of Mr. Rigby Wason has aroused a"certain
amount of inquiry (although, by the bye, a similar plan
was propo3ed in an advertisement in the Times some two
or three years since and emanated from a member of
the Travellers' Club), and has been put forth at a very
opportune moment. _ _

Without wishing to depreciate the glorious movement
in favour of " Financial Reform," I should be disposed
at any time to give preference to the movement that shall
have as its object the permanent reduction of our national
taxation by twenty millions and upwards.
Is the plan proposed by Mr. Wason feasible? Is it
practicable? I think not, although the outline and con-
ception of his plan is undoubtedly good; but his conclu-
sions are too startling—the array of figures too formi-
dable ; he has wielded his pen and allowed his mind to
roam over too vast a surface; he has forgot the nume-
rous obstructions in the way of arriving at correct con-
clusions on the huge, unwieldy mass he proposes to
annihilate, at least as a monument of evil.

•
Is it such a plan as our friends Cobden, Hume, Bright,
Thompson, or Ali!tier Gibson, as a Ministry, could intro-
duce without detriment to their character as statesmen
and financiers? lam inclined to say No most empha-
cally. The supposition that our national wealth is worth
20 years' purchase is erroneous ; let it be announced on
'Change— at the auction mart—in the bureaus of every
editor, commercial man, and agent throughout the
country that a measure to liquidate the National Debt
is on the lapis, and that national wealth, now estimated
at 220,000,0001., would be depreciated to 140,000,000/.
or less; not that the real wealth of the country would be
less intrinsically, but that property of every description
from extraneous causes has obtained so high an artificial
value, that any attempt to alter or disarrange present
arrangements would arouse suspicion—suspicion, fear,
and fear a panic, and consequent depreciation ; besides
it must be borne in mind that although land and houses
in the present state of the market may be worth 20 or 25
years' purchase, a trade can only be estimated at one,
two, or three years' purchase; if, then, our national
wealth be estimated at five years' purchase, we shall, I
think, approach as near as possible to a just and equi-
table appreciation of its rateable value ; but even this,
with a view to an arrangement towards paying off the
Debt, must be accompanied by an adjustment of the
Debt—for it must be borne in mind that we never re-
ceived above 50/. or 60/. for each hundred pounds we
now pay interest; consequently, the national creditor
must be prepared to acquiesce in an arrangement that
will reduce the principal debt to something like
500,000,0601.

Then, reckoning our national wealth at five years' pur-
chase we have a rateable total of ... £1,100,000,000
Which at a tax of 5 per cent. would
produce ••• ••• ••• • •
But, suppose this sum was assessed in an-
nual instalments of l per cent., it:would
reduce the assessment to ...
And would in the course of eight or nine
years liquidate the debt. But it may be
objected (and with reason) that the
amount could not be raised without
causing a large amount of unnecessary
trouble and inconvenience; if so, say at
per cent, and that would give ' 27,500,000
available, and that sum could be raised at a push, and
that, considered with reference to the yearly diminution
for interest consequent on the reduction of debt, would
enable us, year by year, with increased comfort, to wipe
off tlds monstrous ideality.
I would respectfully urge upon my fellow•citizens the
propriety of forming an opinion upon the various plans
submitted, and .the expression of their opinion in some
tangible and effectual manner. With a hope that the
seed sown may eventually produce a glorious harvest,
I subscribe myself,

275,000,000

MANSION-HOUSE. - Yesterday, Robert Brown,
charged before Alderman Farncombe with having forged a
cheque for 501. on Barclay, Bevan, and Co. was committed
for trial. The prisoner had been in the habit of conducting
the correspondence of a H. B. Mead, a seafaring man, with
Messrs. Barclay, and took advantage of that circumstance to
forge Mead's name to a cheque.

The wife of Struve, one of the leaders in the Re-
publican insurrection, is, says a Baden journal, to be tried
with him, for participation therein.
CITY OF LONDON AND EAST LONDON DISPENSARY.

preliminary business, the chairman stated ho had the plea-
sure to announce the adhesion of the Marquis of Downshire,
the Provost of Eton, and a numerous list of contributors.
Gratifying letters were read from the Marquis of Bristol and
many of the nobility. The meeting then adjourned for one
week.

CHEAPNESS OF PROVISIONS.—For some time past
good beef and mutton have been sold in this city at 4%d. a pound ;
and on Saturday last they were to be had in our market as low as
3d. for mutton and 4d. for beef.—Canterbury Journal
Two new vessels, which will surpass all the others
in size and splendour, are about being laid down by the British and
North American CompanY, to replace the Acadia and Britannia,
which have been sold.—Liverpool Mercury.
THE BOARD OF HEALTH AND THE MEDICAL
PROFESSION.—At a late meeting of the Royal College of
Physicians, a vote of thanks was moved and unanimously
carried to Dr. Paris, for the dignified and efficient manner in

In these days, when every one travels and every
one writes, almost every spot of earth has its histo-
rian. Nevertheless, so great is the diversity of
nature, and so various the opinions of men, that mach
as has been written about every known-country on
the globe, much remains, and much will always
remain to be said of them. To have read one book
of travels in any particular country, so far from
satisfying, only stimulates our curiosity. This is
peculiarly the case with regard to the East. After
Chateaubriand and Lamartine had related their travels
in the Holy Land, it might have been supposed that
no inferior pilgrim, would presume to chronicle his
pilgrimage. On the contrary the charms of the
subject seem to have overcome the diffidence
of a hundred amateur authors, and the charms of the
subject are such as to render " Travels in the East"
always attractive, no matter who may indite them.

Syria" has reached its second edition, and is conse-
quently independent of criticism. The chief attrac-
tion of this very attractive book is the religious spirit
everywhere manifested by its author. These are
essentially the wanderings of a Christian, " Noz-
rani" being synonymous with Nazarene. However,
the meditations suggested by the scene of his wan-
derings have in nowise diminished Nozrani's
powers of observation. Every object worthy of
remark, and every event of interest which he en-
countered on his way, be has described in a most
interesting and attractive manner. " The Pipe
of Repose" is so called after the long pipe
which the Eastern wanderer is accustomed to
smoke on arriving at his journey's end, during the
time of which performance he has leisure to muse over
his past adventures. The reader is to suppose that
the author of this little volume has accomplished a
pilgrimage to Cairo, Jerusalem, Bethlehem, the
Dead Sea, Damascus, Baalbec, and other equally
important places, and is now enjoying the luxury of
a commodious couch and " a pipe of repose." The
pages of this volume contai▪ n the reminiscences of his
wanderings. The subject matter is, of course, inte-
resting, and the author's manner is exceedingly enter-
taining. He does not often pause to meditate or mo-
ralise by the way, and he evidently prefers a hearty
laugh to a philosophical reflection, not but what the
latter is occasionally to be met with in his pages.
" The Narrative of Services in Beloochistan and
Affghanistan, in the Years 1840, 1841, and 1842,"
by Colonel Stacy, C. 8., Bengal Native Infantry,
Aide-de-Camp to her Maj▪
esty, employed on special
service in Khelat, and in command of the second bri-
gade of the Candahar force, will necessarily be pe-
rused with considerable interest. " The subject of
the work is twofold," says the editor (who has super-
intended its publication during the absence of Co-
lonel Stacy), " partly of a public
and partly of a
Private nature. Of the transactions in Khelat in'4o,

'4l, and '42, and of the operations of General Nott's
force in the bold movement from Candahar upon
Ghuznee and Caubul—both intimately connected with
a very critical period of our Indian affairs—no full,
exact, and authentic records have yet been given to
the public, and in such cases misrepresentation
and distortion of facts often usurp their place."
In this narrative the author lays before the
public, in the first place, an ample and truthful re-
port of occurrences which are not devoid of intrinsic
interest, and which possess much historical value ; in
the second place, an exposition of his own individual
services, and those of his brave companions in arms,
which this gallant officer believes (and the readers of
his narrative will probably concur with him) have
not been adequately acknowledged and requited. " A
Campaign in New Mexico with Colonel Doniphan,"
is written by one of the volunteers who shared with

Colonel Doniplaan the perils and hardships of his
Mexican campaign. The narrative will, doubtless,
be interesting to Americans, but for our part, our
sympathies are too entirely with the struggling pa-
triots of Mexico, to dispose us to feel much inter-
ested in the dear-won victories of their opponents.
This little volume contains an elaborate map of
Colonel Doniphan's route—a route which we see,

rom an extract in this volume, a writer in the

New York Evening Post has compared to the
far-famed " Anabasis of Xenophon."

NATIONAL LYRICS for the ARMY and NAVY.
By a British Soldier.
In the very modest preface of Mr. Freeland's "Poems"
that gentleman declares that his utmost wishes will be
gratified if smile few besides his intimate acquaintances
find pleasure in their perusal. This desire will cer-
tainly be fulfilled. If the volume contain no poetry
of first-rate quality, the versification is melodious and
the subjects are of a very pleasing character. Many
of Lamartine's poems are contained in this volume,
with Mr. Freeland's translations, and also the trans-
lation of Andre Chenier's " Jeune Captive." This is
incomparably the best of Mr. Freeland's compositions
—the translation is quite worthy of the original of
that original which Lamartine has apostrophised as
"le plus melodreix sou it qui soit jamais sorts des
fenetres d'un cachot." "Madonna Pia" is a poetic version
of the a*ful tragedy of the Maremma, briefly alluded to
by Dante. The poem opens with a description of the
happy love of Madonna Pia and her husband Pietra.
Pietra and his bride are, however, another Othello and
Desdemona, but the Italian's revenge is infinitely
more cruel than the Moor's. Pietra becomes jealous
of his beautiful wife ; without one word of reproach,
without inquiry or explanation, conducts her to an
old castle on the poisonous marsh of the Maremma,
the atmosphere of which is death. Here the remorse-
less husband, still persevering in unbroken silence,
remains with his victim until after a lingering decay
she expires. This melancholy story is very beauti-
fully told by Mr. Grant. One passage is fraught
with an exquisite tenderness. The hapless Madonna,
perceiving in her husband's face the ravages of the
fatal atmosphere, prays him in heart-breaking accents
to leave her to die alone. " Let not both perish !"
The little volume of " Poems" by the three Bells con-
tains some excellent and well-written pieces. Many
of these poems, especially those by Currer Bell, are cha-
racterised by that earnest thoughtfulness of spirit, and
that healthiness of tone for which the novels of the
Bells are remarkable. In this respect this volume is
superior to many of its companions. " Trafford; or
the Reward of Genius," we should 'like better were
the story not partly fictitious and partly taken from
the life of Keats; for example, Trafford exclaims—
" Write only on my tomb
That underneath there rotteth one whose name

Was writ on water 1"
"National Lyrics for the Army and Navy," is a col-
lection of songs of a naval and military character.
We are disposed to call in question either the loyalty
or the gallantry of the "British Soldier," who has in-
dited them, when we find him in his version of " God
save the Queen," expressing a wish that her Majesty
may be preserved "in mind and in temper serene !"

HISTORICAL CATECHISMS.
Catechism of Germany.
Catechism of England.
Catechism of France.
Catechism of Spain alandPortugal.
These clever and comprehensive little catechisms—
portions of a series now publishing by Mr. Dolman—
are arranged on a plan somewhat similar to that ori-
ginated by the late ingenious Mr. Pinnock. They
are eminently adapted to facilitate tuition in the noble
study of history. As elementary volumes they are
excellent. They convey in an agreeable manner a
large amount of information, compacted together in
each instance within a hundred duodecimo pages. In
many respects they combine the advantages scattered
through the more pretentious compositions of Miss
Corner and of Mr. Maunder. The historical retro-
spect extends back to the remotest time, and is
brought down to a contemporary period. In the
catechism, which is, for example, dedicated to the
narrative of the rise and development of Germany, we
are informed at the outset that Allemania was first
peopled by certain migratory tribes from Asia, and
the closing answers refer to occurrences within
our memory. The " Catechism of the History of
England" begins with the colonizing of Albion by a
body of Celts, and comes down to that portion of the
reign of her present Majesty Victoria, in which " re-
volutionary outbreaks materially disturbed the peace
and tranquillity of Europe." In the " Catechism of
France" the writer commences with the account of
the Gauls prior to Caesar's
invasion, and terminates
with the establishment of the existing Republic.
While, in the catechism devoted to the Peninsula we
find the description of Spain brought down to the
marriage of Montpensier, and that t of Portugal down
to the days of Maria da Gloria. These little publica-
tions will doubtless be welcome in the Roman Ca-
tholic seminaries.

THE COUSINS; or, Pride and Vanity. Pp. 131.
By Agnes M. Stewart.
A 19imple and thoroughly domestic story is this
little effusion of the " Cousins,"—coming from the

establishment of the publisher of the preceding
catechisms. Miss Stewart contrives to incul-
cate gentle principles in a tale which has
neither the formality of a treatise nor the
frivolity of romance. The plot forms a com-
panion picture to that facetious sketch of John
Leech's, which recently appeared in Punch, giving
rather a bad prospect to a young lady ; the young
lady in question being rebuked by her mamma for
aspiring to the happiness of " coming out" before
the elder sister—a rather untempting morsel!—is en-
gaged. The narrative ends nappily, and that is a
great thing to propitiate the reader's goodnature.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Feb. 2.
(Sittings at Nisi Prins, before Mr. Justice ERLE and a Common Jury,

MESTER V. MANSFIELD.

This was an action brought to recover compensation in damages
for false imprisonment. The plaintiff and her sister resided with
their father in the house of the defendant, who is a widow, residing
in Red Lion-street, Holborn, and it appeared that the defendant,
baying missed a shawl from a room, gave them both into custody
on a charge of felony. About one o'clock in the morning they were
taken to the station-house, locked up in a cell, and next day brought
before the magistrate, who dismissed the case.
For the defence, the cause of action was admitted, the defendant,
through counsel, expressing her sincere regret that she had im-
prisoned the plaintiff, but as there were good grounds for creating
a suspicion in her mind, it was urged that a small amount of damages
would be sufficient.

The Learned JUDGE said the jury would simply have to consider
the amount of compensation which the plaintiff was entitled to.
There could be no doubt, if two respectable young girls were taken
into custody and locked up in a cell all night upon such a charge,
they would have to endure a certain amount of mental and bodily
suffering.
The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 261.
UEOTER v. MANSFIELD.

In this case which was brought by the sister of the former plain-
tiff, upon the same grounds, a verdict for 251. was taken by consent
of the parties.

METROPOLITAN SEWERS COMMISSION.—On Thurs-
day. at noon, the justices connected with the Consolidated
Commission of Sewers, met in their Boardroom, Greek-
street, Soho, for the dispatch of business. Viscount Ebring-
ton, M.P., presided. A large number of the Commissioners
were present, including Sir Henry de la Beche, Dr. South-
wood Smith, the Hon. F. Byng, Richard Lambert Jones,
Esq., Edwin Chadwick, Esq., and the Rev. W. Stone. A
considerable amount of financial business was transacted,
which occupied the chief part of the sitting. Subsequently
Mr. Haddon was appointed clerk of the accompts, vice Mr.
Stable, pensioned by order of the Commissioners. Sir Peter
Laurie, Bart., was then chosen treasurer to the Commission,
the Act 11 and 12 Victoria, cap. 112, requiring the appoint-
ment of such an officer. Upon the motion of Sir Henry de
Is Beche, seconded by Mr. Buller, a committee was appointed,
it being considered desirable that the laws should be amended
by which the business of the special and general courts is
regulated, and for fixing the days for future meetings, and
shortly afterwards the Commissioners adjourned until Thurs-
day, the 15th inst.

THE RUSSELL-COURT GRAYEYARD.—Yesterday a
deputation of the inhabitants of the parish of St. Martin's-
in-the-Fields, accompanied by Mr. Palmer and Mr. Jarvis,
the churchwardens, waited upon the Bishop of London, at
his residence in St. James's-square, to present a memorial to
to his Lordship, praying him to use his authority to put a stop
the interments of the dead in the St. Mary-le-Strand burial-
ground, Russell-court, Drury-lane, which, notwithstanding
the recent verdict of the coroner's jury in the case of a
female named Mary Jauggett, whose demise was found to
have been accelerated by breathing the noxious exhalations
emanating therefrom, and the testimony of numerous
medical gentlemen that the continuation of burials therein
was dangerou•, and likely to cause a pestilence, were still
continued. His Lordship paid great attention to the obser-
vations of Dr. Bainbridge, Mr. Lancaster, and Mr. Shear-
smith, assuring the deputation that the subject should have
his earnest and earliest attention, and that his archdeacon
should visit the ground forthwith, The deputation then
withdrew.
LAW LIFE ASSURANCE.—The half-yearly meeting
of this company was held yesterday, at the offices in Fleet-
street, Mr. Robinson in the chair, when a report was pre-
seated, which stated that the guarantee fund which, on the
31st December, 1847, amounted to 311,5721. 13s. 7d., had
been increased by transfer from the assurance fund of
145,656/. 12s. 1 ld., being one-fifth of the profits realised
during the septennial period, from 1840 to 1847, so that the
fund amounted to 457,2291. 6s. 6d. In answer to questions
it was stated that 407 new policies were issued during the
year, being 40 more than in the preceding year. The amount
of money paid as claims during the year was 160,3301., and
as bonuses 44,4561. The report was adopted, and a resolu-
tion having been carried to allow bonuses to go in extinc-
tion of future premiums, some formal business was trans-
acted, and the meeting separated.
THE DARLEY MAIN COL.LIERY EXPLOSION.—
From minute inquiry we find that amongst those who lost
their lives there were 44 men and boys unmarried. and 30
married men, leaving 30 widows, five of whom are pregnant,

is reported to be still in very bad health, and the servant,

Standard.

THE WEATHER.—Since our last we have had a
return of bleak, blustering, wintry weather. The tempera-
ture, which on Friday last reached 50 degrees Fahrenheit,
did not rise higher than 41 degrees on Saturday, 40 degrees
on Sunday, and 39 degrees on Monday last. Its lowest point,
32 degrees, was on Sunday. During Sunday forenoon there
were several sharp showers of hail and sleet, and again in
the afternoon. On Monday morning the wind became due
north, and there was some frost' Hail and a little snow fell
during Monday night; and yesterday morning there were
more showers of hail, snow, sleet, and rain. The day was
cold and raw, and rain fell at intervals during the whole day.
Altogether the weather is quite inclement. There are no
telegraphic returns of the weather yesterday.—Manchester
Guardian, of Wednesday.
MARYLEBONE.—Yesterday, an omnibus conductor,
James Carroll, was brought before Mr. Broughton to account
for the possession of a large quantity of spurious coin. He
was found drunk in the streets, placed on a stretcher, and
conveyed to the station-house, where, on being searched, ten
counterfeit sixpences were found on him. He was remanded.
LAMBETH.—Yesterday, Mr. John Crawley, a
master carman, whose connexions are highly respectable,
was remanded on a charge of obtaining 35 sacks of flour, of
the value of 95/., by means of forged orders. Bail was re-
fused.
OPERA COMIQUE, ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.—The

didate for the West Riding of this county, but who was
withdrawn in consequence of his shortcomings as a reformer,
intends to solicit the suffrages of the Queen's County, Ireland,
