to make them a life provision, and the little Rao Raja,
sending troops and ordnant.c against them, accompanied
Colonel Sachet land to Ajmeer. It was iound that the
places were to.) strong for his troops unaided to IN siege
with eff, c!, and eventually the Rao Raja from Ajmeer,
and Major Ludlow from Jaipoor, proceeded to the scene
of operations; also troops and ordnance in considerable
numbers from J, ypoor. The insurgents made a feeble
resistance at one or two places, abandoning the ethers,
and fled into other countries. So ended this absurd
attempt at rebellion, for the great body of the Sheik-
hawuts were not likely to take a part in so illegitimate
a cause, were they not-too much our friends, and too
much alive' to their own interests, to take a part in any
cause which the authorities in Rajpootana demanded.'"

GWALIOR.
The state troops had tiu, ing the first week of
November beta almost frightened from their pro-
priety by the rumour that a night attack was
about to be made on the ," Lusbkur," when or
by whom was not mentioned. It would seem to
have been a ruse practised by some persons who wished
to serve some ends they had in view by " intimidating
the minister." A force had been dispatched into the
Toohur Ghaur districts for the purpose of quelling some
distut bailees expected to take place there. The distur-
bers of the peace were said to be headed by one who
declared himself neglected by and misrepresented to his
masters. Dr. Hope, superintendent surgeon. Scindia's
force, being about to leave the country, had been pre
sented by the Maharajah with a " buelut," or dress of
11,•noar, in pre:ence of the whole Durbar, in token of
esteem and gratitude ; and the Prime Minister, Ram
Itao Phalkvo, had also presented him with a sim•lar gilt.
Dr. Hope was private physician to the minister, and had
mere than once been instrumental in saving his lice when
seriously indiposed. The doctor is highly spoken of
for his benevolence and humanity to all the poor of the
city ; he bad succeeded in having a charitable hospital
erected for them, to which he had given his attendance
gratis since its foundation. It is acts like these which
make a man's name be remembered for generations in
India.

BHOPAL.
The capital and surrounding cuuntry are now as quiet
and settled, to all appearance, as though no Nawab
Arne( r Mahomed Khan had never been in existence to
create strife. This state of matters is justly attributed
to the energy and prudence of the measures pursued by Mr.
Hamilton, resident at the Court of Indore, the adjoining
state; ably seconded as he was at the time of the disturb-
ance, and continues to be, by the political agent, Captain
Cunningham, and commandant of the contingent, Captain
Landers.

THE MISSING MAIL.-14 to the hour of our going to
press (three A.m.) there was no appearance of the mail,
and we think the delay can only be accounted for by the
occurrence of accident, on this or the other side of Sues.
Late on Monday night it was intimated that the steamer
intended to have been dispatched last night would be
detained till four o'clock this afternoon, when we believe
she will start without fail, irrespective of the arrival or
non-arrival of the Suea steamer. The Governor-
General's express arrived about noon yesterday—that
from Calcutta having been received a couple of hours
before; and further delays, of which only a few could
avail temselves in the way of answering letters, are
considered inadmissible. We, of course, can offer no
conjecture as to when the mail may be looked for. It is
considered not unlikely that the two of the 24th October
and 7th November may come in together a week hence.

EGYPT.

ALEXANDRIA, DEC. 20, 1846.

Since my last we have had continuous fine weather,
accompanied with easterly winds and night fogs, both of
which in this country are considered to indicate the ap-
proach or existence of sickness. The published bills of
mortality since the commencement of this change ex•
hibit, regret to say, a great increase of numbers as
compared with the preceding six months of the present
year. So many as forty to fifty deaths a day have been
recently reported, whilst the average number during the
spring and summer did not exceed fifteen. There is
not, however, any disease of a dangerous or conta-
gious nature to be deplored, and deaths from dysentery
and influenza form the largest proportion in the returns.
The Pacha is still at Cairo. He is surrounded by the
principal consuls and consul's-general, and by the staff
and leading members of his own court. His health is
far from being so good as it used to be, though for a
man of eighty his physical energy is quite extraordinary.
The adoption of the Turkish costume among the eivil
and military officers of his Government, has given, in
some cases, much offence to the prejudices of the Arabs,
who look upon it as too close an imitation of European
habits,
The Pacha intends quitting fir Upper Egypt about
the beginning of the year, where he will remain until the
early part of March.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From The Sun of last Night.)
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were
10,000 to 12,000 bales, at previous rates, the chief part
being American.
The Share market at Liverpool is in future to be closed
es Saturday.
There are not any late arrivals announced in the City
this morning.
It is very much indeed to be regretted that
supplies of all sorts of grain are with.
held. Prices cf wheat, of barley, of flour, &c. &e.
have all again advanced to-day. There appears eves
prospect that rates will be much higher still. As re-
spects barley and malt, we may remark that
the advance in the prices of ale and beer
by the whole of the brewers of the metropolis,
and, of course, by the publicans is not at all relished.
For the last three seasons we are assured the
price of hops and malt have been all in favour
of the large firms referred to, but these prices were
kept as they were. Now a rise has occurred, very rapid
means have been taken to enhance the price of the be-
verage about 25 per cent.
The circular of Messrs. Ferguson and Taylor, of
Manchester, noticed by us ou Saturday, has a talented
statement, of singular importance and interest, demon-
strating the injuries committed by the late speculations
in Cotton upon the manufacturers and spinners. By the
exposé of the operations of one mill the loss per annum
is set down (the present prices of Cotton being taken)
at 4,9591. 7s. 6d., and this too, only upon the manufac-
ture of eight descriptions of goods. Probably we may
find space to give this unique document entire.

FLANDERS MAIL.
BRUSSELS, JAN. I.—Yesterday the Senate adopted all
the projects of law under discussion, and then adjourned
sine die.
The following circular has been issued to the Provin-
cial Governors :
" Sir,—A measure by which every effectual relief can
be given to the poor, and which therefore it seems very
useful to adopt at present, wherever it may be possible,
would be the establishment of public soup houses, where
soup might be distributed to all the indigent who may
4)1Y-
"I request you, sir, to be so good as immediately to
call the attention of the magistrate of your province to
this subject, which is the more urgent, as the season is
now extrt•mely severe.
" I desire to be informed as soon as possible, of the re-
solutions which may have been taken in this respect.
(Signed) "THE MINISTER OF INTERIOR."
BRUSSELS, JAN. 2.—Yesterday being New Years'-
day their Majesties the King and Queen, surrounded by
the Ministers and officers of the household ; received in
succession the Foreign Ministers, the deputation of the
Senate, and of the Chamber of Representatives, the
Court of Cassation, and numerous other public bodies.
The year 1847 will open with an important political
fact, announced, it is true, beforehand, but respecting
which we should be glad still to retain some doubts.
Poland will be incorporated with Russia, as a Russian
province, it will de divided into two governments, those
of Warsaw and Lublin, public education will be chiefly
conveyed in the Russian language. Prince Paskewitsch
will be succeeded by Prince Gortschakoff. It remains to
be seen ; whether this court will lead to an
approximation is still uncertain, If it is com-
manded by the interests of the two Govern-
ments, and of the two nations, it is opposed, we
must add, by some personal passions. The Journal des
Dames, which we must consider, on the occasion, more
than ever as the direct organ of M. Guizut, does not
hesitate to declare plainly its desire in favour of an ap-
proximation. We need not add that the most powerful
influence does not cease to act in the same spirit. The
approximation is, therefore, probable at no distant pe-
riod. The consequence will be a little more tranquil-
lity in the political situation of Europe. The opinion
of the two Parliaments of England and France, which is
near at hand, will doubtless commence with clearing up
some obscure circumstances. Will it also clear away all
prepossession ?
The trains on the northern line (from Paris to Brus-
sels) have all been delayed ; that which ought to have
arrived at Brussels at nine o'clock yesterday evening,
did not arrive till half-past eleven ; that which should
have arrived this morning at nine did not reach Brussels
till three in the afternoon.—Brassels Papers, Jan. 2.

DERBYSHIRE, S 1 AFFORDSHIREI
AND WORCESTERSHIRE JUNCTION RAIL-
WAY.
In pursuance of a requisition to the directors, signed
by five of the proprietors of shares in the Derbyshire,
Staffordshire, and Worcestershire Junction Railway
Company, a meeting of the, proprietors took place yes-
terday, at the office of the Company in Queen-square,
Westminster, for the purpose of considering whether the
Company should be carried on or dissolved. At eleven
o'clock, the hour appointed for the comnires en cemnttogetherent of the
business, several of the directors were pe,
with a large number of the proprietors.
J. SIIEE MATTOEWS, Esq., was unanimously called
to the chair, and the advertiseinont calling the meeting
together, and the requisition having been read by the
Secretary, Dr. Mackenzie, Mr. Gilbert Lander, Mr.
Joseph Causten, and Mr. Thomas Benaier were appointed
scrutineers.
Mr. G. D. CLARK., the agent for the requisitionists,
then called upon the chairman for some explanations as
to the affairs and position of the company, asserting
that the parties he represented were entirely in the
dark upon that subject.
The CHAIRMAN observed that if they were so, it was
entirely their own fault, because bad any party come to
that office and asked for information, it would have been

Mr. CLARK having designated the observations of the
Chairman as a shamefal piece of jesuitism, a long, angry,
and personal discussion ensued, which terminated in
The CHAIRSIA.N convincing the majority of the
proprietors present, that the accusations and asser-
tions of Mr. Clark against the directors was
totally without foundation, and inducing many
who had come prepared to vote for the dissolution
of the company to vote against it. The most rigid
economy had been adopted by himself in parting with 1
the money of the proprietary, and their undertaking, he
was happy to say, notwithstanding the attacks that had
been made against it, was , supported by such men as
Lord tlatherton ann Lord Begot; tke latter nobleman
having actually consented that their line should pass
through his park.—(Cheers.)
Mr. FIELD thought they ought to have some further
information as to the propriety of their going on with
the undertaking. For himself, lie was convinced of the
y present
benefit of doing so, but he was afraid that roan
might not be so without further information.
The CHAIRMAN, on the question of the propriety of
their going on, would read to the meeting

LIBERALITY OF THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT.—A
great deal was said at the time the French Government
granted permission to Prince Polignac, ex-minister of
Charles X., to return to France, after many years' im-
prisonment and exile. It will scarcely be believed that
the Prince, who is allowed to sojourn at Saint Germain's,
a few miles from the French capital, is not allowed to
visit his son, who is at college in Paris, without especial
permission of the arthcritipm.

CALEDONIAN ASYLUM.—On New Year's-day the
children of this national and patriotic institution, which
was incorporated in 1815, for supporting and educating
the children of soldiers, sailors, and mariners, natives of
Scotland, who have died or been disabled in the service
of their country, &c., were regaled to the number of 130
with a plentiful desert of wines, negus, twelfth cake, and
oranges, in addition to their usual substantial fare. The
entertainment having been given by the principal pro-
moters and founders of the juvenile band of this estab-
lishment as a reward for their surprising progress in in-
strumental and pipe music, and for the general improve-
ment and good conduct of themselves and the other
children of both sexes in the schools, several of the di-
rectors and friends of the charity attended to witness
their conviviality and happiness, and a more pleasing or
a more lively animating scene could not well be ima•
gined. The large dining hall of the boys school was
tastefully fitted up for the occasion, with flags and ever-
greens, by the officers of the institution who had only
one day's notice to prepare, and the whole arrangements,
together with the unmixed joy and hilarity that pre,-
Tailed, appeared to convey to the minds and feelings of
all present the most hearty satisfaction. After dinner
the usual loyal and patriotic toasts were given by the
chairman, who was senior' boy in the school, and who
conducted himself with great propriety, each toast and
sentiment being duly responded to by the guests, and
their excellent band with precision and effect. The
entertainment was terminated by the• pipers, playing
their fair companions in grand procession back to their
own hall, where the dance and reel was commenced, and
kept up with excellent spirit for an hour or two, when
the whole entertainment finally concluded at six o'clock
in the evening.
FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES
R&u.WAT.—On Friday an accident of a serious character
occurred at the Cheabunt station, by which one of the
signal men in the service of the company mot with an
instantaneous death. The unfortunate man, whose name
is George Pivett, had, it appeared, been appointed to the
Cheshunt station but a few days. On the day in quese
Lion, a few moments before the afternoon express down
train passed the station, he was seen by the station-
master in the act of passing over the rails, and imme-
diately after his signal lamp was discovered lying be-
tween the rails of the down e, and Pivett was found
m itlin Ile was quite dead, his
lying some 40 yards fro
head was dreadfully crushed, and the train seemed to
have passed over one of his legs. From the position the
body was found it, it was evidently the buffer of the
engine which had caught and carried him the distance
described. An inquest has since been held on the body,
and a verdict of " Accidental death" returned.
The Earl of Elgin, Governor-General of the
Canadrts left yester day for Liverpool, Front whence he
will take his departure to-day for tho place of his

A TURKISU `TICK-CONSUL IN MANC ESTER.-

Notwithstanding the extensive commerce carried on
between Manchester and the Turkish empire, and the
number of Greek and Amenian subjects of the Porte
resident here, the town has been until now destitute
of a consular agent from that country. It will be seen,
however, from an advertisement which appears in another
column, that a Turkish Vice-Consul, Abdullah Ydlibi,
has been appointed, and is now resident here, being,

DREADFUL EFFECTS OF THE LUCIFER MINUFAC-•
TURE.—A case has occurred for the fourteenth time, in

Nuremberg, of the removal of the lower jaw-bone, in
consequence of disease, from persons working in lucifer-
match manufactories. The disease usually attacks girls
who, for trifling wages (2s. per week), ri>k the loss of
their health. The physicians have not hitherto been able
to find any means of cure for this disease; when the jaw-
bone is once attacked, however slightly, the malady is
incurable, and the bone must be removed. In this last
case, the girl had left the factory above six months, dur-
ing which time she had been at service in another town,
before the jaw showed symptoms of disease. During
the operation she suffered the extremest agony. Govern-
ment ought to take this subject into its earnest consi•
deration.—Hatnburgh paper.
CATHOLIC CHURCH DISCIPLINE IN PRUSSIA.--
The Journal des Debats publishes the following letter,
dated Breilau (Prussian Silesia), the 16th inst.:—" On
Saturday last the Prince Archbishop of Bre,lau, M. de
Diepenbrock, visited the convent of the Brothers of
Mercy, in our city, whose principal occupation consists
in attending to the sick in the vast hospital attached to
their establishment. The prelate found that the monks,
far from attending to the severe regulations of their
order, lived at their ease in a truly mundane fashion.
Being perfectly indignant at such a violation of mo-
nastic rule, the Archbish( p addressed a severe admoni-
tion to the friars, and summoned them to adhere in
future strictly to the statutes of their order. The pre-
late ordered all the objects of comfort and luxury which
were in the convent, such as sofas, couches, carpets,
curtains, dressing gowns, furs, slippers, &c„ to be forth-
with sold by auction for account of the funds of the
convent. The same day M. de Diepenbrock appointed
his chaplain inspector of the monastery, and enjoined
him to catch that the rules of the order should be
strictly observed. In consequence of these measures
several of the monks gave quitted the convent and
have rented lodgings in the town, and the principal phy-
sician of the hospital of the convent has tendered his re-
signation.
PRAYER MEETING ON DONKEYS.—At one of the
monthly concerts in Bo.ton, ce, Sabbath evening last,
some account was given of the revival of religion among
the Nestorians, in connexion with the missions of the
American Board of Ooroomiah and its vicinity. During
the heat of the summer the seminary, in which are
about forty young men in a course of education, was re-
moved from the valley of Ooroomiah to the heights of
Mount Seir. The students, who had before found it
difficult to find places of retirement for the performance
of their private devotions, were often discovered, at their
new place of residence, communing with God in secret
among the rocks and the hills of Mount Seir. It was
also stated that, on a previous occasion, as some of the
Nestorian converts were tray. lling from village to village
they held a prayer meeting on their donkeys—a novel,
but not uninteresting mode of social worship; showing
that when religion takes hold of the heart, times, and
places, and circumstances, are made to contribute, with
wonderful facility, to promote the work of God in the
soul.—New York Evangelist.
DESTITUTION IN DINGWALL.—III Dingwall a con-
siderable amount of destitution prevails among the lower
classes—those especially who depend upon good weather
for any work they can obtain. For want of firing, in
one or two instances, families are subsisting on raw vege-
tables, others have to burn pieces of their furniture to
counteract, in some slight degree, the cold of the season.

CHARACTER OF GEORGE THU THIRD.--" The

child was father to the man." Thesan;eTaeillity in im-
bibing foolish prejudices—the stme obstinacy in adher-
ing to them—the same want of frankness in his inter-
course with men, and the same want of charity in his
religious principles—the same strength of memory for
those who offended him, and the same brooding sullen-
ness against those who opposed his will—which bad
been observed in the boy, were manifest in the king.
Tbus it happened, that for several years he made the
punishment of Wilkes a darling project of his Govern-
ment; that, when that mock patriot grew tired of brawl-
ing, the subjection of America became the prevailing ob-
ject of the royal pulley; and that, at a later period, the
exclusiim of Irish people from the privileges of the con-
stitution absorbed his narrow intellect, and grew
I into a passion. Thus, too, it happened that on the oc-
casion of the repeal of the Stamp Act in 1T67, and on
the proposal of Mr. Fox's India Bill in 1784, the osten-
sible Ministers of the Crown were treated with reserve
and dissimulation, while the Lords of the Bedchamber
i and the party of the King's friends received their pri-
vate instructions to oppose the measure to which the
Royal sanction had apparently been given. The treat.
meet of Lord Granville and Lord Grey, in 1807, on the
1 subject of the Roman Catholics, was marked by similar
' I reserve, and not very dissimilar intrigues. Thus, tco,
1 it happened, that statesmen of great weight in Por-
i 1 liament were for many years excluded from the King's
[ , councils by the obstinacy of personal resentment, or the
I antipathies of an uncharitable temper, --Lord John
R0c.,71,
