THE EAST INDIA COMPANY.

Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the
East India House, when the thanks of the Court
were voted unanimously to Sir Frederic Currie,
Bart., chairman, and to Mr. William Joseph East-
wick, deputy-chairman, for their great application
and attention to the affairs of the East India Com-
pany during the period they have filled those
offices.

At the same Court of Directors the following re-
solution was also passed unanimously, namely :
" That upon this, the last occasion of their meet-
ing, the Court desire to record their deep and
grateful sense of the valuable assistance which
they have uniformly derived from the eminent
talent and devoted zeal manifested by the members
of the home establishment in their various depart-
ments. The character of that establishment is too
well known and too highly recognised to require
from the Court any further expressions of commen-
dation ; and they cannot doubt that, in the transfer
about to take place, the great reputation of the
home service will be maintained under the same
fostering system of encouragemont which it has
been the object of the Court to pursue, and which
has produced a result signally beneficial to the
public service."

IMPROVEMENT IN THE TRADE OF LIVERPOOL.

—The Liverpool Customs Bill of Entry of this day
(Thursday) shows that the receipts of the month of August
of the present year exceeds the month in 1857 by £28,50.
If we take the revenue for the months of :July and August
of this year, and compare them with the same months of
last year, there is an increase on the two months only
of £71,276 is. 4d.
TIIE INSURRECTION IN CANDIA.—WC have ad-
vices from Canea to the 17th Aug-uz,t, announcing the re-
kindling of the flame which, as might have been foreseen,
was only momentarily smouldering to pacify the Greek and
French Consuls, who seem to have had an important part
in the outbreak. The Cretans, it is clear, did not rise to
get rid of an objectionable governor, but to obtain solid
concessions and guarantees for their future maintenance,
not without a hope also of shaking off entirely the Ottoman
yoke. A monster meeting was to take place on the 18th at
Apocorona, in the village of Vrises, having for its object
the demanding from the Government of the Sultan an elec-
tive Council, with powers to deal with all questions new
falling under the jurisdiction of the Mollah Effendi, and
likewise the appointment by the people of a Christian to
represent them at Constantinople, in regard to all com-
plaints they may prefer to the Sultan. The armed bands
already assembled at Apocorona number 4,000, whom Sami
Pasha is endeavouring by mild and persuasive means to
keep quiet, without much prospect of success. The British
Consul,:Mr. Ongley, had not yet returned from Constanti-
nople, but he is said to have most fully cleared himself of
the charges brought against him of being leagued with
Vely Pasha.
OPENING OF A NEW TOWN-HALL AT NEWCASTLE-
ON-TYNE.--The magnificent new music-hall, which com-
pletes the entire suite of the New Town-hall buildings
built by the Corporation in St. Nicholas-square, was opened
yesterday afternoon. It was a general holiday in the town,
and the hall, a most noble building, has been quite crowded
by the inhabitants of the town and the gentry of the dis-
trict. The Sacred Harmonic and Choral Society, conducted
by Mr. Webbe, haveperformed Mendelssohn's "Elijah." In
the evening there was to be a miscellaneous concert, and to-
day the same society will perform the "Messiah." The
New Town-hall, which has Just been opened, forms a very
striking object in 'the centre of the town. Besides the
large and spacious music-hall, it contains a large corn ex-
change, the council chamber of the corporation, the offices
and board-room of the River Tyne Commissioners, a
hotel, and a considerable number of shops and other places
of business.

A WELL MIXED RACE.—There is now in Ro-
chester, New York, a man aged 106 years, whose ancestry,
together with his own progeny, will exhibit one of the
strangest mixtures of races ever heard of. His name is
John Shenandoah O'Brien and he was born in Boston,
1752. His father was an Irishman, and his mother an
Indian, of the Oneida tribe. When 12 years old he was
sent to France, and there educated as a physician. He
returned to America and served in the revolutionary war ;
afterwards he went back to France, and there married the
daughter of the Emperor of Morocco, by whom he had
eight children ; with her he lived in the United States for
some time. He then married an American woman, de-
scended from the Teutonic line, and after her death mar-
ried a negress, who was 50 years younger than himself,
and by whom he had four children. In his children are
united the blood of the Celts, the Teutons, the African,
and the North American Indian.— United States Paper.
THE EAST INDIA AND CHINA MAILS.—The

ward Bombay mail on the 14th, and left for Marseilles
early on the morning of the 15th. The Ripon arrived on.
the 20th from Southampton and Gibraltar with the out-
ward mails, and left on the same afternoon for Alexandria,
having on board Major Crawford and 219 non-commis-
sioned officers and gunners of the Royal Artillery, en route
