LONDON, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER s, 1846.

The intellipnce just received from India, in anti-
cipation of fle Overland Mail, and which of fords us
news from. Bombay to the 18th of July, inclusively,
is of a mcst calamitous character. Although we have
occaslcal to rejoice over the 'tranquillity of o-ur pos-
sessions in Asia, we are unhappily compe lied to
mourn over the calamities which have befaL len our
countrymen and the unfortunate natives in th ose ter-
ritories. Sinde appears to have been again :afflicted
with the diseases which have hitherto devastated its
provinces by a triennial visitation. Cholera has re-
cently carried off somewhere about 8,4510 souls,
including natives, sepoys, and Europeans, at Kurra-
chee. Fever of a malignant kind has likewise car-
ried death among the soldiers stationed at Sukkur.
With the exception, however, of these ca lamitous
circunistances, the position of the British iJrces in
the Fast is exceedingly gratifying. The utmost
tranccaillity prevails throughout the I 'unjaub
and the adjacent countries ; and, althout;ll the
mortality and pecuniary disbursements justify the
lamentations of the Bombay Times, it is iml iossible
not to look with satisfaction at the events which have
recently transpired in British India. However much
the consequences of those occurrences may be, cause
for regret, however much we may sorrow o ver the
sacrifice of life and of specie which they involved,
their ulterior result cannot but afford us consolation.
Nor do we reason upon that pernicious principle of a
vile means being justified by a beneficent end ; we
of Course abhor that dogma as not merely c ontra-
distinguished from all legislative generosity, but as
totally opposed to the dictates of every prudential
sentiment. Our exultatiou o'er the deeds Which hive

COMMITTEE.

A special meeting of the City Relief Committee, to
take into consideration the measures to be adopted in
consequence of the want of employment and food for the
labouring classes, was held on Sunday.
Various plans of relief were suggested—one was to
increase the extern relief to two meals a day, or the
opening of soup•houses ; but it was decided that some-
thing was necessary to be done to afford employment on
the following morning, as the peace of the city was
endangered ; and upwards of three hours were spent in
considering the best course to adopt. A subscription
was commenced ; several of the gentlemen present gave
donations. It was then determined that 40 men should
be set to work the next morning on the Cork road, 10 at
the Coole, and 20 at breaking stones. The following
members present also took the number of men attached
to their names respectively into employ for a week,
pending the result of Mr. Sullivan's application to the
Baronial Committee :—Alderman Smithwick, 20 ; Al-
derman Potter, 20 ; Mr. Sullivan, 20 ; Sir Wheeler
Cafe, 10 ; Dean Vignoles, 10 ; Mr. Hart, 10 (besides
gratuitously giving a quantity of stones for breakage.) ;
Mr. Carter, on his own private account, 10 ; Mr. Daniel
Smithwick, 10.—Kilkenny Journal.

COUNTY OF KERRYTRALEE, DEC. B.—The usual
half weekly meeting of the relief committee was held
yesterday. Several complaints were made that persons
not entitled to work were employed on the public works
to the execlusion of others who had a prior claim to such
employment. Rev. Mr. Rowen read a list of twenty-one
persons employed upon one road, some of whom were
farmers, others had been seen a few days before selling
potatoes, and in most instances there were three em-
ployed out of a family. Mr. Lynch handed in 50/. a
subscription from Maurice O'Connell, Esq., M.P.,
making in all 1001. subscribed by him to the funds of
the relief committee of this district. Mr. Lynch stated
also that Mr. O'Connell had contributed 100/. to the
fighting of this town. The committee again expressed
their opinion, that if immediate employment were not
given, the public peace could not be preserved.—Kerry
Examiner.

DREADFUL OUTRAGES-GOVERNMENT PRO-
CLAMATIONS.

The Government have just issued two proclamations,
offering rewards for the apprehension of the persons
concerned in attacks upon officers of the Board of
Works. The first proclamation states that on the sth
instant William Lindesay, employed as check clerk on
the new road at Pollock, parish of Croom, county
Limerick, was fired at, and a book offered to him, with
a demand that he should swear never again to return to
the work. In this case a reward of 601. is offered. The
second proclamation refers to a murderous attack on
Mr. W. Hennessey, an officer of the Board of Works in
Clare, and offers a reward of 1001.

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE MIDLAND RAILWAY.—
On Wednesday an inquest was held at the hall Carr
Hotel, Sheffield, before Mr. T. Badge, on the body of
John Kidd, a pointsman in the employ of the Midland
Railway Company. It appeared from the evidence that
on Tuesday morning last an engine was returning from
the mouth of the new tunnel which unites the Midlands
and the Sheffield and Manchester lines. The engine had
got down to the point opposite the Ball Carr Hotel,
when deceased stepped across to uncouple the tender
from the luggage trucks, and in so doing his head was
caught between the buffers, and his skull was completely
smashed, which of course caused instant death. It was
not deceased's duty to uncouple the carriages, as the
guard was at the prop,r place to do so. There was
plenty of light in the tunnel at the time. Verdict—
" Accidental death."

TILE LORD CUAMBERLAIN AND THE MINOR
Ti EATREs.—A correspondecce has for some time past
been going on between the Lord Chamberlain and the
managers of some Of the minor theatres in reference to
an order from the Lord Chamberlain against the recent
reduction of prices of admission. Mr. Cooper, of the
City of London Theatre, was told that if he persisted in
the reduction of prices the Lord Chamberlain would
interfere, and Mr. Cooper consequently closed the house.
The managers say that it is unfair to interfere with them
when the dramatic performances at saloons and other
licensed places are left uncontrolled, with the power also
of selling wines and spirits. The hist communication
was a letter from the Lord Chamberlaift's office, desiring
play bills from all licensed places to be sent there every
week.
__

THE ROYAL STAGIIOUND3.—In consequence of the
sharp frost which set in on Thursday
night, together
with a fall of snow at an early hour in the morning, the
royal staghounds were not able to hunt yesterday. We
are happy to be enabled to state that Earl Granville is
so far recovered from his recent accident as to lead to
the impression that his Lordship will bo able to resume
his duties in the course of the ensuing week.

SUSPECTED MURDER OF A WIFE

BY HER HUSBAND.

At a late hour on Wednesday evening Mr. W. Payne
held an inquest at the Three Tuns, Redcross-steet, Bar-
bican, on the bod 3 of Eleanor Elisabeth Wright, aged
34 years, who died on the 3d of November last, and was
buried in New Bunhill-ground, Golden-lane, and whose
body was exhumed by order of the coroner, in consequence
of information that deceased had been brutally ill-treated
and poisoned by her husband.
Ann Collett.of No. 10, Elliott's-court, Old Bailey, de-
posed that she was sister to the deceased, who, with her
husband, a map mounter, resided at No. 11, in the same
court. They had been married above seventeen years.
The deceased had been ailing for the last nine months,
from consumption. About twelve months since the hus-
band formed an improper intimacy with a married wo-
man named Tisdall, since which he had been in the
habit of cruelly beating deceased. On one occasion,
about two months since, he seised a stone pitcher and
beat her about the head, until she fainted from loss of
blood. On Sunday, Nov. 1, witness was sent for, in
consequence of the husband ill-using the deceased. She
had been confined to her bed for three months previous.
Witness found the husband using bad language towards
her. Deceased was crying; he took up a chair and threat
ened to throw it at her head. Deceased whispered to
witness to remove the knives and forks from the table,
lest he should stab her; be had done so on a former
occasion, and there was the scar on one of her arms;
there was also a scar on her nose. He continued to
abuse her, and rushing to the bed, he seized her pocket
from under the pillow, and shook out the money it con-
tained upon the floor. Deceased told witness that her
husband had that day struck her upon the head and
chest. In witness's opinion she was then dying. She
told witness, that in case she died, to see that her body
was opened. On Monday she got worse, and Dr.
Lynch, of Farringdon-street, was sent for, echo imtne
diately on seeing her pronounced her ease to be hope-
less. The husband was addicted to drink.

Several other witnesses gave evidence as to the habits
of the husband in beating the deceased, and that the
daughter had told them her father had poisoned her
motner.

Ann Wright,..the daughter. a girl of fifteen, was ex-
amined. She positively swore that her father was not
in the habit of ill-using her mother; and added, that
"She wished she might drop down dead if there was any
truth in what the witnesses asserted that she had said."
The ConoNEn. said he did not believe a word she had
said, and she had prevaricated so grossly that he thought
he ought to commit her to Newgate for perjury.
The inquiry was adjourned to have analysation of the
contents of deceased's stomach.

ROYAL ACADEMY.

On Thursday, the 10th inst., being the twenty-eighth
anniversary of the foundation of the Royal Academy of
Arts, a general assembly of the Academicians was held
at their apartments in Trafalgar-square, when the fol-
lowing distribution of premiums took place, viz.:--
To Mr. Hutchinson George Smith, for the best Copy
made in the Painting School, the silver medal, and the
Lectures of the Professers Fuseli, Phillips, and Flax-
man.
To Mr. Charles H. Stanley, for the next best Copy

To Mr. George Stewart, for the best Drawings from
the Antique, the silver medal.
To Mr. William Graham Dewick, for the best Model

Which was concluded with a short address from the
Keeper to the students.
The general assembly afterwards proceeded to appoint
officers for the ensuing year, when Sir Martin Archer
Shee was unanimously reelected President.

PRIVY COUNCIL.

Her MAJESTY is expected to hold a Privy Council
on Saturday next, the 19th inst. At this Council it
is expected that the time for the meeting of Parlia-
ment will be determined on, and a proclamation will
be issued, summoning both Houses to meet for the
dispatch of public business.

Everything indicates that Europe is peculiarly at
this moment in a state of transition. Popular power
may be regarded as at its culminating point. The
two paramount forces of the Continent—the repres-
sive domination of the East and the regenerative con-
stitutions of the West— the hereditary legislation of
the North, and the elective legislation of the South—
are now more than ever endeavouring to counteract
the influence of each other. Time has not
tended to lessen their mutual antipathy : on
the contrary, their sentiments have become more
than ever embittered, their opinions have become more
than ever estranged. The common alliance which
was expected by many credulous persons to render
their reconciliation permanent, has proved only an
additional source of animosity. After a temporary
quietude of thirty-one years, the compact between
these heterogeneous powers has been suddenly broken;
their partial reliance on each other's integrity has
been utterly dispelled ; the possibility of any
cordial cooperation between them has been
rendered more than ever dubious. The
consequence of this abrupt disseverance has
already evinced itself in the increased distaste of the
two divisions of the Continer.t for each other. TEe
monstrous cruelty, moreover, by which that disseve-
rance has been alone effected, has afforded additional
grounds for the rancour of the cajoled nations. In
the annexation of Cracow, Austria, Russia, and Prussia
have not merely violated their engagements with the
other continental principalities, but they have like-
wise directly violated the principles upon which
the very Governments of the West are based. Those
three despotic Cabinets have not merely violated cer-
tain articles of the treaty of Vienna, they have like-
wise violated the fundamental laws of humanity and
justice. In this latter violation consists their chief
offence.

Some considerable time has elapsed since the first
consideration of this perfidious act by the Northern
Powers ; some little time has already elapsed since
the seizure of Cracow. It is satisfactory, however, to

BOWTSTREET.--(THIS DAY•)

Thomas M'Keur was placed at the bar before Mr.
Henry, charged with feloniously attempting to enter the
house, No. 2, Montague-street, Montague-square, by
means of a latch-key, supposed to be stolen. The pri-
soner was formerly servant to the Misses Rose, who
keep a private boarding-house as above. Last night he
attempted to open the street-door by means of a latch-
key, and was apprehended.
The latch-key was sworn to as having been lost by
one of the inmates of the house during the time of the
prisoner's service.
Miss Margaret Rose desired to withdraw from the
ease, on account of the inconvenience of prosecuting, but
Mr. HENRY expressed very strongly his opinion that
the prisoner ought to be prosecuted. He would commit
the prisoner for trial, and bind Miss Margaret Rose
over to prosecute. However, in order to give the officers
time to make inquiries as to the prisoner a character, he
would remand him for a week.—Remanded accordingly.

CLERKEN WELL.—(THIS DAY.)
Henry Venables, the young man who was remanded
from yesterday, on the charge of robbing his employer,
Mr. Dunningham, of Seymour-street, was again brought
up this morning, when the evidence of Mr. Chick, of
Moor-street, Soho, and Mr. rownal, of King-street, Soho,
was taken in support of the charge against the prisoner,
of having received money for his coaster, which held ad
to hiltifvvil use, after which the prisoner was
fully dOminit* for trial at the Old Bailey.

ArAuMING FIRE AT ISLlNGTON.—Yesterday, be-
tween► two and-three o'clock, an alarming fire was ob-
"served on the premises belonging to Mr. H. Edwards, a
'turner, No. 7, Lower-street, Islington. The flames first
showed themselves in the workshops, at the back of the
dwelling house. An instant alarm was raised, and in-
telligence of the disaster was sent to the engine stations,
and in a very short space of time the engines arrived,
and there being an abundance of water at hand, the
flames were confined to the workshop in which they
commenced, but they were not entirely extinguished until
the stock in trade and building were extensively damaged.
The fire, it is supposed, was cau,cd by a spark flying out
of the stove amongst some shavings. Unfortunately Mr.
Edwards was uninsured.

BRITANNIA, Nov. 21,1846,

The Prenela people have done themselves credit by their industrial
expositions. But it must be acknowledged that, though ingenbus
and pretty, they appear quite insignificant compared with the indus-
trial exposition presented to the mind by this mighty volume. Keep-
ing pace with the advancing trade and population of London, it still
increases in bulk ; and, keeping pace with the movement of society
in a more important particular, it vigilantly seizes every opportunity
of improvement to insure more perfect accuracy and more complete
elassiflc ition. We find in this volume many instances of superiority
to former issues, which, though eomparatively trifling, show the in-
telligence and care exeicised over every department. It may be men-
tioned that by the employment of private agents, the changes of re-
sidence are. nor brought down to a later period than formerly, and
,the' valtie qtAhe„" Directory" is coysequctatlyMancsclt ban
before spoken oi it as indispensable to the proper management of
business. Its authority is now so universally established, both at the
Post-office and throughout the metropolis, that any further recom-
mendation of it is superfluous.

HERAPATH'S RAILWAY JOURNAL, Nov. 21, 1846.
The " Post-office Directory" for 1847 appears with additions and
improvements upon its valuable predecessor, hut with no enlarge-
ment in the price. The continued enterprising spirit with m hick this
important, and it is not a misar•plication of terms to say, national
work is conducted, merits the highest commendation, We know not
whether the same illiberal and unjustifiable attempt will be made in
the ensuing session as was done in the last, to wrest it from the
hands of the present proprietary, and to place it by the force of might
over right in the hands of Government ; but, should it be attempted,
surely the following statement of its er,nductors will go home to the
consciences, If they have any, of the parties seeking to draw down
the grasping interference of Government :—" It can only be neces-
sary to refer to a copy of the work published before the purchase of
the copyright by its present proprietor, to be convinced that the mere
connexion of the ' Directory' with the Post-office has little, if at all,
contributed to its present high character. That the improvements
(the result of many years of unwearied toil and application on the
part of those engaged in the compilation of the work) are duly appre-
ciated is now happily beyond all question ; prior to the ' Directory'
passing to its present proprietor, rival books contended successfully
with this—they have disappeared."

THE ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE THE ICING.
STOCKHOLM, Nov. 28.—The Aftonblad corrects to-
day some part of the statements in the accounts given
by itself and other papers relative to the circumstances
connected with the attempt of Von Platen. It was not
Colonel Beyron, but an artillery officer, who wrested
rise first pistol out of the hands of the madman. The
King himself came just at the time alien the assassin
was sort ounded and arrested by the gum. d ; and as soon
as his Majesty was convinced that no person was in-
jured, he immediately retired to his apartment, leaving
the further investigation to the War Department ; and
an hour afterwards took an airing in the droschki.
The King had declined to receive several deputations
which the elders of the citizens and some other corpora-
tions intended to send to him, because no personal danger
had occurred to him in the affair.

STOCKHOLM, DEC. I.—The day before yesterday their
Majesties, with the Duke of Upland and the Princess
Royal, visited the theatre, where, after the first act, the
national hymn was called, and again at the close of the
performance, and sung amid enthusiastic exclamations of
" God save the King."
For some days past the snow has been sufficiently
deep for sledges, and we learn from all quarters, even
from the west coast, that the cold winter weather has
fairly set in.

DEATH OF ADMIRAL LORD AMELIUS BEAU-

after a protracted illness. The Nubie Lord was born in
August, 1771, being the son of Aubrey, fifth Duke of
St. Albans, and was, consequently, uncle to the present.
Duke. He entered the navy at a very early age, and,
after a probationary service us midshipman, was ap-
pointed lieutenant in 1790, and was punted on the 16th
September, 1793. In 1811 he was promoted to the
lank of rear-admiral ; in 1819 to that of vice-admiral,
and on the 22d of July, 1830. he received his commis-
sion, as admiral of the red. The Noble Lord, when
captain of the Juno, beat off the French frigate Junon,
corvette, and brig near the 114 i-es Islands, 1794, and
iu Hotham's action, March, 1795, he also partieWarly
distinguished himself. In 1796, when captain of the
Dryad, he captured the French frigate Preserpine. In
the Walcheren expedition he commanded the Royal Oak.
He subsequently directed other operations, and a few
years since had the command of the fleet in the Tagus.
The deceased nobleman was honoured with the particu-
lar notice ofthe late King, to whom he was appointed
principal aide-decamp. He was a Knight Grand Cross
of the Order of the Bath, as well as of the Royal Hano-
verian Guelphic Order. He was a Fellow of the Royal
Society, and member of some other scientific institutions.

BURGLARY IN THE CITY-ROAD.—Thursday morn-
ing it was discovered that the premises of Messrs. Huff-
man and Co., drapprs, No. 5, City-road, had been en-
tered during the night by some thieves, who succeeded
in carrying off property amounting to between 2001 and
3001. The depredators, it appears, entered through a
grating, and gained access through a back yard to the
warerooms on the ground-floor by cutting through the
shutters, and succeeded in making good their escape with
their booty. Information of the robbery has been for-
warded to the police.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIRS I beg leave to call your attention to an incor-
rect statement, with regard to the trial of Thomas
Foulkes and Henry Foulkes, of Stockwell and Walworth,
omnibus proprietors, in your papers of Monday and
Tuesday last, at the Surrey Sessions, Ilorsemonger-
lane, Newington, for an assault committed upon me on
the 23d of July last, the incorrect statement, of which I
have to complain being this—that my brother Wil-
liam Henry Ball, who was not near the spot, is intro-
duced as the prosecutor, instead of John Ball, and also
the sentence upon the prisoners, in continuation of the
proceedings in the preceding day's trial (Monday), is
not correctly given.
The sentence of the Court is this, that each of the
prisoners be confined in Horsemonger-lane Gaol for
fourteen days, to pay a fine of 101. each, to enter into
their own sureties of 1001. each, and to find further
sureties of two 501. each, to keep the peace towards me
for twelve months. Forty-eight hours' notice of bail to
be given to the prosecutor. Your attention, in correcting
the above in your valuable paper, will oblige, Sir, your
obedient servant. JOHN BALL.

favOonuraWbleedtonetshdeaynoemviennaing nomination
of
the next election for the borough of Manchester was
held at the Albion Hotel. About 150 merchants, manu-
facturers, and others were present.
Mr. Alderman NEILD was called to the chair, and
opened the proceedings by stating that, in his opinion,
Lord Lincoln was a fitter candidate for the borough
than Mr. Bright.
Mr. J. PEEL gave an account of the interview which
he and other members of the deputation had had with
the Earl of Lincoln, and read the following letter, which
his Lordship wrote to him on the 30th ult.:—
" Drayton Manor, Nov. 30.
" Deer Sir,—l am now able to consider myself free
from any implied engagement to another constituency,
and I have therefore no longer any hesitation in express-
ing the sere than willingness that:l feel to become a can-
didateitor Manchester, in the event of such a requisition
being presented to me as shall justify me in aspiring to
that honour, and that shall warrant the belief that a
majority of the constituency are willing to accept my
services as their representative.
"I feel sensibly the honour of having my name asso-
ciated with the representation of such a town as Man-
chester, and if elected, my best services will be devoted
to the important duty which will devolve upon me."
The meeting was afterwards addressed by Mr. Gar-
nett (of the Mancheskr Guardian), Mr. J. A. Turner,
Mr. M. Ross, and others, when a committee was nomi-
nated to promote the election of Lord Lincoln. The!re-
quisition to his Lordship has been signed by about 1,500
electors.
