We have received Java papers from the 3d to the
2Sth of January last, from which we take the following
particulars, though the overland mail has brought t"
news till the beginning of April.
BATAVIA, JAN. 15.—0 n the evening of the 14th of
this month, the river Pegra, which flows close by 0° -
house of the President of Soerokasto, suddenly over'
flowed its banks with great rapidity, and did consider-
able damage. On the high road from Soerokasto the.
water was in some places five feet deep.
There is au account of the murder of the family of
Mr liamphins at Bantam. In the night of the 12th
Of December the dwelling of the bailiff was surprised. •
The bailiff, Mr. Kamphins, with his wife, with five of
their eight children, and Messrs. Pea, Kering, Woubert
de Prussea lost their lives ; the wife of Kering. who
had fled with•two children, was killed in the neighbour-
hood of Tykandie Jelier. The resident of Bantam,
immediately on learning what had passed, proceeded to
the spot -with twenty men. He found the house in the
possession of between 300 and 400 armed natives, and .
was forced to retreat, being unable to contend with
such a superior force. The garrison then proceeded
Tykandie Oeduck, and atter an engagement
expelled the insurgents, and occupied the houses
Between twenty and thirty of the natives lost their lives.
On our side three men were wounded. 274 per 50139
were arrested by the police on suspicion of having taked
part in the murder and of resisting the public force.
Public tranquillity has not been interrupted in any part
of-Bantam.

The papers bring accounts of inundations in severe
other places, and of considerable fires.
AMSTERDAM, JUNE 12.—We are able positively to
cDetradiet the report that M Van de Heim will defi-
nitely- take the office of Minister of the Interior sit the
close of the Assembly of the province of South Hollan,
—Dutch papers, June 16.
WURTEMBIIRG, JUNE 7.—We are happy to say litt
the appearance of the crops of every description is such
as promises an abundant harvest.
PnLISR FRONTIERS, JUNE s.—The accounts from
Galicia continue to be favourable ; some per-
sons are, indeed, apprehensive of disorders at the
season of the harvest, when the peasants will
have to return the seed-corn lent them by the land-
owners.' It is however, believed that if there should be •
some cases occur of resistance, they will be isolated ;
and that, on the whole, tranquillity will not be do
turbed. The complaints of the drought in most VW,'
vinces of the. Austrian monarchy are increasing,
have rather lowered the expectation of a remarkably
abundant harvest.

OFFICIAL POOR-LAW CIRCULAR..
In answer to a question as to the best course of pro
ceeding to get boys out apprentices to the merchant
service, the Commissioners say, that the guardians;
might advertise in the public papers, and also cotninuhi'
cate with the Secretary.of the Admiralty on the subject.

and ..9 Vic., c. 116, for providing merchant ships witfl
seamen.—A widow in the receipt of out-door relief,
appliedefor assistance towards the burial of
.a child in
a cemetery belonging to Dissenters, which the relieving
officer refused, under the impression that he was not
justified in giving assistance for the burial of paupers
in any other place than the church-yard. The Com-
missioners say that the 31st section of the 7th and Bth
Vie. c. 101, leaves it discretionary with the guardians
1- whether they will or will not bury the body of a do-
ceased -person at the expense of the poor-rates. Where
necessity, however, exists for assistance, they ought
not to withhold it solely on account of the religious
persuasion to which the deceased may have belonged.
£he 31st section enacts that, except where the guardiang•
direct the body of a pauper to be buried in the
parish to which he is chargeable, " every dead budA
which the guardians or any of their officers, duly au-
thorised, shall direct to be buried at the expense of the
poor-rates (unless the deceased person, or the bus''
band or wife or next of kin of such deceased person
have otherwise desired) be buried in the church-yard.
er 'other consecrated burial-ground or belonging to
the parish, &c., in which the death may have occurred.
The exception, the Commissioners say, was intended
to remove undue distinctions between persons of dif-
ferent religious persuasions, and in the present
instance the relieving officer acted very improperly -
in refusing to give the widow assistance towards the •
burial of her child in the cemetery belonging to dis-
senters, according to her wishes.---By the 43d Eliz. c. 2,
the chi. rchwardens of every parish are expressly con-
stituted overseers, and are equally responsible for
the contributions required by the guardians of a
union.—ln the absence of a justice, the clergyman, in. .
conjunction with a relieving officer, examined several
pauper lunatics required to be removed from a county
asylum, and for which the clergyman demanded a fee of
one guinea, which the Commissioners say he was not'
untitled to.—A district auditor requires to be informed
whether he should be justified in allowing the
charges made in the course of the perambulation
of a parish under the 60th sec. of the Act 7 .
and 8 Victoria, o. 101, which amounted to 731.,
including 15f for refreshments. The Commis-
sioners admit that the section of the Act authorises the

by way of loan. The Commissioners reply that the
guardians are empowered to make the application by
their officer, but they do not conceive that the law has
invested the guardians with any powers of compelling tal
ov,-rseer or his assistant to act.—ln a case where a wife,
Who was an habitual drunkard, and had an income of

husband.

COLLISION ON THE GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAY.-On Sunday morning last a collision took place on the Grand Junction
Railway, about four milt* beyond Crewe, which caused great con:,
sternation to a very long.train of passengers, and resulted in a great
many severe contusions and bruises ; but no life was lost, and we
have not heard of any fractures. It seems that the cheap excursion
train, which left Manchester for London on Saturday, May 30, was
returning- to- Manchester on Sunday morning last, consisting of 39 '
first, second, and third-class carriages, drawn by one engine. U
was about six o'clock in the morning, the atmosphere veil'
thick and misty, when the train came suddenly upol four or five.
stationary goods-trucks, some empty and some loaded, and by the
collision with these trucks the passengers were thrown violent',
against each other, or against the inside of the carriages, many re-
ceiving severe bruises on the headAface, shoulders, &c., and a number
suffered frem black eyes. As to the cause of the collision, it seems a
goods' train from Birmingham, which had preceded the excursion
train some time, had, by some accident, lost or left a part of its
trucks on the line. Fortunately, owing to the misty state of the
atmosphere; the train was going slowly at the time, or the conse-
quences of the collision would have been mush more serious.—Man'

'PUBLIC BATHS. —At the meeting of the Chester Town
Council on Friday last, a memorial was laid before that body, with
reference to the construction of baths ler the use of the operative
classes of this city. The council, having no surplus estates, were of
coarse unable to aid the memorialists by a grant of public money for
the purpose; but they appeared unanimously to approve of the ob-
ject the memorialists had in view, and made the offer of a piece of
land, supposed to be convenient for the erection of the required build-
ings. The Mayor, and several other members of the council liberally
promised to come forward, if the baths were erected by public sub-
scription.—Chester Courant.

THE KEA.NI3.—Tbe 'St. Louis Reveille of the 13th
ult. says :—" These truly attractive and clever performers have just
concluded their fiftieth night with Ludlow and Smith. These Lift,
nights have been occupied between Neer Orleans, Mobile, and St.
Louis, and from them Mr. and Mrs. Kean have realised fifteen
thousand dollars, being an average of three hundred dollars per
night. This is truly great, and we know the statement to be core
rect. We also know that, during this long business connexion,
the most agreeable relationship has been preserved between
managers, stars, and company, and that the connexion is
at length severed with regret. This fact speaks well for all
parties, and it is refreshing to record it, in opposition to the
many accounts of professional discontents, jealousies, &c.
Mr. Kean, at the conclusion of the performance on Monday
night, in obedience to the call of one of the most brilliant
audiences we have ever seen, appeared, and spoke as follows :
" Ladies and Gentlemen,—l should be doing injustice to ray own
feelings, and those of Mrs. Kean, were we to leave St. Louis without
some expression of gratitude for our kind reception, and for the
great success that has attended our efforts in this city. The cor-
diality with which we have been received, by crowded and brilliant
audiences, the courteous attention of the management, and the eftl. -
dent manner in which we have been supported by the company.
have rendered our professional tour of nearly three months in the
south and west, one of uninterrupted pleasure. Sincerely hoping
that we may again have the pleasure of appearing before you pre.
vices to our return to Europe, we now, with every feeling of gratt•
