(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH FROM TRIESTE.)
A telegraphic dispatch from Trieste has brought us
the following :

TRIESTE, APRIL 11.

The steamer Italia, from Alexandria, with the
dispatches from India, has run aground at Umago,
about t enty English mites from Trieste. Two of
Lloyd'i steamers have been sent out to bike the pas-
sengers and letters. The mails may be expected this

evening.
The tranquillity of India remains undisturbed.
A skirmish had taken place at Burrow, in the
mountains near Kohat, between some robber hordes
and a Punjaub regiment, in which the former were
defeated and driven back.
The Governor-General issued a general order on
the 15-h, regulating the pay of officers and men in
the Punjaub, and reforming the military organization
there. The army of the Punjaub is to be placed un-
der the orders of a Brigadier, at a fixed salary of
2,000 rupees a month.
The Marquis of Dalhousie was at Attock on the
Bth of March, en route for Peshawur. He proceeds
to Simla in May. His Lordship was suffering from
ill health. _ _

The ship Buckinghamshire, Captain Macgregor,
was burnt in the Hoogley on the 3d of March, whilst
sailing down the river to start for England. It is
insured for 18,0001. and cargo for 70,0001. in London
insurances. Two passengers, invalids, perished.
Captain Grantham, of her Majesty's 98th, has been
severely wounded by some robbers, who attacked him
whilst out riding in the neighbourhood of Peshawur
in company with a young lady. He was left for
dead on the ground, but hopes are entertained of his
recovery.
An order was to be shortly issued by the Go-
vernor-General prohibiting military officers from
holding situations as directors, secretaries, and audi-
tors of the Indian Rank.
A conspiracy has been discovered in Nepaul, the
ohjet of which was to murder General Jung Baha-
dour. The conspirators were his own father and
brother. The General is a favourite of the army,
whom the conspirators endeavoured to gain over.

Mr. Egerton, had been received on a visit by the
King of Oude.

J. D. Cunningham, deeply regretted, the son of Allan
Cunningham.
Bombay is healthy. A heavy thunder-storm burst
over the Presidency on the Bth of March.
Lord and Lady Falkland were on the point of
leaving for the bills.
The market for manufactured goods had not
rallied, although within the last fortnight some
heavy sales had taken place.
Exchange had fallen, but prices rose in propor-
tion. Stock on hand considerable, and more was ex-

pected.
Raw cotton had declined since last quotations.
The decline in price received by the last English
wail of the 7th of February caused a corresponding
decline of seve❑ rupees per candy.
The new crop is good and clear.
Exchanges have fallen.
CHINA.

We have no later news from China than that sent
w4h the mails of the 3d from Bombay.
The murderers of Da Costa have been taken.
Four piratical junks had been captured.
Exports heavy.

SOUTHAMPTON, SUNDAY EVENING.

The Ocean Steam Navigation Company's steam-
ship Hermann, Captain Crabtree, from New York,
arrived off Cuwes this afternoon, having fifty pas-
sengers, a large cargo, and specie to the amount of
45,000 dolls. After transhipping her English pas-
sengers and mails, she immediately proceeded to
Bremen.
The Hermann left New York on the 29th ult.

By this arrival we have received three days' later
intelligence, up to the 29th ult. inclusively. The
Canada arrived at Boston on the 28th. There is no
change in the commercial advices

COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
COWES, APRIL 13.
Wind East.—Arrived the American steam-ship Her-
mann, Captain Crabtree, from New York, in'ls days.
She brings 80 passengers, 12 of whom, for England, were
taken out by the Ruby steamer, and the others proceed
on to Bremen. When off Falmouth yesterday after-
noon, between three end four o'clock, she came in con-
,act with the schooner Hope, of North Yarmouth, laden
with salt, from Liverpool to Holland, end carried away
both her masts. Expecting the schooner to go down, all
her hands got on board the steamer, but afterwards
finding that the hull of the vessel had received but
trifling damage, and made no water, they were put on
b,ard again, and the steamer took her in tow and
brought her in here. Captain Crabtree behaved like a
gentleman, and gave directions that the schooner's da-
mages should all be made good with as little delay as
possible. This accident caused the detention of the
steamer full twelve hours.
ICE.—A Norwegian brig has arrived tier° with blocks
of ice, and we hear other vessels are on their passage for
the neighbouring ports. The very low rate paid for
freights makes the ice speculation a good one this sea-
sc.°, the winter having been so mild that almost every
icehouse is empty.

RAILWAY AND SEA-BORNE COALS.—A memorial
has recently been presented by the Shipowners' Society of
the port of Sunderland to the Lords Commissioners of the.
Privy Council of Trade respecting the intended coal traffic
on the Great Northern Railway. The memorialists state
that they represent the interests of the shipowners of Sun-
derland, comprising a capital of 1,000,000 e, and affording ern-'
ployment to nearly 10,000 seamen ; that their interest is
suffering severely from foreign shipping and from the navi-
gation-laws, and that the railways are now interfering to a
great extent with their traffic, and that the Great Northern
Railway Company have lately been lowering their tariff
upon coals to London for the purpose of f ntering into com-
petition with the shipping trade. They urge the injustice of
this system, and they ask that such clauses may be intro-
duced into the Bill of the Great Northern Company now be-
fore Parliament as may compel the company to charge
rateably for all articles of a like kind, according to the dis-
tance they may be conveyed. A reply to this memorial has
been received from the office of the Committee of Privy
Council of Trade, in which their Lordships state they do not
think it right to introduce any clause into the Great Northern
Rail way Bill which would involve a principle not adopted
with regard to all railways, and they do not see any reason
for recommending the adoption generally of the principle
suggested by tne memorialists. It is said that the new tariff
advertised by the Great Northern Company will have the
effect of diminishing very materially the price of coals in the
London market, and that the charge will in all probability
be brought down as low as Iss. per ton. Sunday Paper.
RAILWAY CAPITAL.--The total amount raised
by railway companies up to the end of 1849, as seen by a
return just published, was 229,747,779/. 15s. Bd., of which
i 8,412,6251. 6s. 71. was raised by shares and 51,335,154/.

J ii o, rausn rebate on ti
subjsct, of Stui:heeet ilJarket. As often happens, the
question was contrived to be so perplexed, that there
was no chance for one bolding what the Apostle calls
the place ofn private individual (not of an idiot, as
the word might seem to bear), to steer his way ex-
cept by an indistinct notion that certain men meant
well, and others ill, and that by following the one and
not the other, he should find himself right.
Not that there was any difficulty in knowing the
thing to be desired. Any man who should be pitched
from the clouds and light on his feet in the neigh-
bourhood of the metropolis, must know that as no
rural gentleman conducts his cattle North and South

,of his domain, so a metropolitan inha-
bitancy with their wits and liberty to exercise them,
would instinctively feel that the place for sale and
purchase of ox, bull, and cow, implying as it does
the congress of currents of living beef in all direc-
tions but particularly from North to South and from
South to North, should be on either the East or
West side of the circumference, and inasmuch as
some come up the Thames and none down, should
by the direct intimation of nature which made the
Thames run East, be on the East side and not the
West. But all this was so obscured by cress notions
of different kinds, that there was no clue to an end
but what has been described.
On the order for second reading of the Religious
Houses Bill, a scene of considerable violence took
place among the Catholic Members, and no Protestant
attempted to interfere in support of the mover, who
was in consequence severely pressed, and it was only
by the display of considerable determination that he
got his second reading fixed for the 14th of May.
We are bullied by the Catholics, and no man careth
for our souls. I cannot conceive how any Member
with liberty of speech, and the habits formed by con-
verse with the portions of society which live in the
exercise of the greatest quantity of independence and
free-will, could sit still and hear a Member in the
position of the worthy mover so sore beleaguered,
without coming to his assistance.
What should be done on the subject of religious
houses, is sufficiently clear, though it is by no means
equally clear that there is blood enough left in the
body of old Protestantism to think of doing it. The
law, with reservation of course of deliberation for
reason shown, should go to the extent of what has
been found necessary by Catholic Governments of
good repute. If Catholic Governments have found it
necessary to check the formation of monastic associa-
tions for political reasons of their own, still more is
the necessity obvious in this country, where, glose it
as you will, monastic institutions are open and avowed
hotbeds for the rearing of deniers of the right of po-
litical or physical existence to Protestants whenever
their leader shall think it advisable to say so. He did
it in the case of the St. Bartholomew, and there is not
a Catholic Member in the House of Commons who
dares stand up and say that he was wrong, or acted
under anything but the immediate direction of the
Almighty. re ha did it again, there might be some
who would prove themselves bad Catholics; but they
must cease to be Catholics, if they declined to act
against our liberties and our lives at the bidding of
the Pontiff. The country once thought these things
were changed ; but that web of trust has been swept
away by a flood of evidence. By God's mercy, we
have been abused and made fools of ; because to be
abused and made fools of, is one of the most effective
ways in which men can be roused into a timely
defence.
On Thursday was the commencement of debate on
the subject of the Colonies. It was stoutly denied
' that there was any connexion between the profit and
loss of a colony, and the desirableness of keeping it.
Colonies are not commercial undertakingsi but
f places
to feed those who want feeding, you payng or the
same. Turn this over at Bradford, and ask whether
you would not like to be a colony. The strange
transactions at the Cape of Good Hope came in for
their share of notice from the attacking side. You
are to pay two millions for a governor's brass-headed
stick. There has been no such costly toy since.
G-essler set his hat upon a pole. But you have no de-
fence,—not the slightest prospect of anything like
either indemnity for the past or security for the future.
Kafir wars are the act of God. Nobody makes them ;
nobody is answerable for them ; nobody can hinder
them ; nobody is responsible for them. You might
as wel ask who is responsible for an earthquake. No-
body can do anything but pay for the damages. Re-
signation is all that remains for you, and you will
have to resign yourselves again, and again after that,
till men are tired of being paid for injustice and re-
compensed for folly. In the present case two millions
will not be all ; you will still have to pay the doers.
They must be paid, like everybody else. Men do not
do mischief for nothing ; it would be a cheaper world
than it is, if they did. You must pay them, and
honour them, and hold them up as examples to your
little boys, that in your posterity for ever there may
be no want of zeal to consume the millions you may
have or the millions you may borrow.
At the same time it would not be right to be too
hard upon the Government. The Government has
no innate desire for your wrong. There is the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer, for instance, fretting I have
no doubt in the innermost sanctuary of his domestic
felicity, at being obliged to give up what he, poor
easy man, bad counted on as a surplus. We ought
to have a fellow feeling for him, and. not a hostile.
We are all in the same plight ; we are like the con-
script in the French comedy, to whom the ferocious
sapeur does nothing but cry out "Jean, paye." Our
chance to help ourselves is nothing. There is no or-
ganization for it, no preparation to make it possible.
We are the born slaves of such demands, as -our fa-
thers were, and as our posterity will be after us. You
might as well ask an African chief to make an elec-
tric telegraph, as conceive the possibility of our set-
ting about either relieving ourselves from such a
mischief, or preventing it in future. The debate was
adjourned till Tuesday; when the rest of it will be
said or sung.
On Friday was the repetition of the debate, on
what virtually means the restoration of the Corn Laws.
The Pope and Protectionists together press hard upon
the Government. The majority of the Irish boldly
avow, that they vote for the Protectionists because
they are Papists. It is the repetition of the
Irish invasions under Montrose and others, modified
by the difference of times. I hope we shall re-
member it, when the gnawing, thankless incubus of
Ireland comes again to drain us. Remember that the
majority of Irish Members did their best to saddle
you with the restoration of the Corn Laws, as the
means of saddling you with submission to the French
general who holds the Pope in leash. It is a new
phase of the Papal aggression. When milk is burned
to the bottom, we say in Yorkshire, the bishop has
put his foot in it; a reminiscence, possibly of great
antiquity, of some unkindly feeling towards the spiri-
tual power. If you do not take care, you will find
the Pope's toe in your bread-loaf.
The division, at all events, displayed stability. A
Member for Aylesbury has been unseated, and the
new one, though he might be in the House, had not
taken his seat. If' he had been there, the majority
for the Government would have been what it was be-
fore or 14. We are at something very near a dead
kick,, with the Pope and his allies of the small loaf. It
only shows the necessity there is to be up and doing.
Bating the political necessity, I am rather sorry
the late Member for Knaresborough was not re-
turned to the House of Commons. He is the
beau ideal of what should be sent to that place. I
wish he was on your side, and you bad him. The
man wanted for that House by a constituency which
has got anything to say, is a man who will set
forms at defiance; who will fly in the face of autho-
rity if it wax wanton to the treading on his toe ;
who will be overbearing that he may not be over-
borne; who has no debilitating habits of deference
for others, nor of dependence on receiving the
same himself ; who can be audacious or wearisome
as suits his purpose, which are the two qualities
leading to success ; who will create a salutary dislike
to come into collision with him, and a silent convic-
tion that the easiest is to let him have his way; who
will exercise, in short, those virtues by which the big
boy of a school maintains his ground. The minor
moralities are thrown away in such a position, and
end only in the loss and disapppointment of a con-
stituency.
I am, Sir, yours very sincerely,
AN OLD REFORMER.

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT ON THE STAGE OF hER
MAJESTY'S TII EATRE. —Between ten and eleven o'clock on
Saturday an accident occurred on the stage of her Majesty's
Theatre, Haymarket, to a young man named Samuel Den-
well, aged 27. It was ,he duty of Denwell in the third act
of the opera of illasaniello to fire off some guns on the stage
behind the scene,,, and whilst so engaged one of them re-
bounded and discharged its contents into his left leg, the
lower part of which was completes. shattered to pieces, with
all the bones of the foot. The accident happening behind
the scenery the fact was not made known to the company.
The unfortunate man was quickly removed to Charing- cross
Hospital, where the process of amputation of the leg was
Pe •
floured witheut delay Mr. Lingbam states that the
right leg is also much injured, but• it is considered that am-
putation in that case will be avoided.
Tur; ICTIIPNETT 2.lunDEß.—The execution of
John Wills and John Smith, who were convicted at the
last Taunton assizes for the murder of William Williams,
rat Nympuett, on the Bth of February last, was to take place
tl.is day, at Taunton. Since their conviction the pri-
soners have paid great attention to the advice of the rev.
chal.daio, and both have acknowledged the justness of the
sentence. They, however, state th,t they bad no inten-
tion of murdering the man, but thit it was done on the
spur of the meme t in consequence" of Wilkins's resistance.
CUSTOM-HOUSE SEIZUEE.—The It evvuue-cutter
Stag, made a seizure off the French coast last Thursday.
The vessel proved to be the Duck,. of Portsmouth, with a
crew of three men, and thirty-sits, tubs of sPirit4'--Ports-
