of many a mourner in humble life in E.rigland, I,y
giving publicity to the accompanying extract: It

civilian high in 3ominand at Delhi.
• The case referred to by the writer is by no means
the first instance in which the Lawreucl Military
Asyluna—at this time mot critiCallycircutistanced
from the absence of ~ny endowment, and a failure
of income—has i-heltered the orphan-, of our 1, ur-
dered soldiers rescued from worse -.han de dh.
I have the honour to be, your obedient servanr,
EDWARD P. HATHAWAY.

GOLD IrrLia.—A blue-book of further papers
on this subject was yesterday issued from the press. It
supplies the usual monthly returns of the gold discoveries.
A compari,on of the produce of the diggings of Victoria
in 1856 with 1855 is pronounced by Governor Barkly
to be in every respect satisfactory, the number of
lieersae ex .ibiting an increase of from 5.530 to 8,802,
ahl that of the gol I forwarded to the ports, from
466,159 oz. to 471,186 oz. It is inferred from a review
of the returns that neither the results of the moment,
nor the preparations for the future, indicate any decline
in the gold production of the colony of Victoria. The
average export for the past five years is estimated by
Sir H. Barkly at fully 3,000,000 oz., worth at the very
least 12,000,0001. per acmuin ; nor is there reason to
doubt that this average will be sustained for a very much
longer period. In New Zealand but little had been re
ceived from the digjrgs up to the 17th April, 1856.
THE FIRST JEW Q.C.—The opening of the law courts
on Monday last was remarkable for one incident,
which I have not yet seen neticed. Amongst the
batch of counsel who have just received silk,
and on that day took their seats within the bar, appears
the name of Mr. Goldsmid. He is a son of the Baron
Goldsmid, and is, I believe, the first member of the
Hebrew persuasion who has yet attained that dignity.
Tnis is another step in that gradual social "Jewish
emancipation which has of late advanced with such
steady progress. The "lord mayoralty" has lost it
"Chri,tian P
character • and that of the inner bar is now
gone—according to Sir F. Thesiger. It is a good omen
of another more important loss of the same character—
in the same sense, of course, I mean.-41anchester

THE INDIAN MUTINIES.

e following is from an officer on the staff of
theforce whichlowi o
greheved Lucknow, under General
Havelock :
T

You must not blame me for
Camp Cawapore, Dec. 1, 1857.
not M
ou, forit has been quite impossible
wryitidnegarto—oy
to send letters in the position that I have lately
been in. When we wer,e on the point of advancing
with Sir James Outram s force from this place to
Lucknow on or about the 19th Sept. last, I sent
you word what we were going to do. Sincethat, and
when we communicated with the Lucknow garrison,
and indeed saved them by the additional men we
Ih ew into the place, the only means of sending
I,ttisrs--4-4n by men who were paid by Government
to risk their lives, and the letters were all written
in the Greek character and put into small pieces of
quill, as being easily concealed in this way. You
therefore can imagine we bad not the power to send
private correspondence, all that was despatched in
this mantler being of public importance ; and I, in
common with all others, was obliged to trust to our
list of casualties to inform you, and all who knew
me, that I was unhurt through the trying work
we have been through. We crossed the river
Ganges, and on the 21st of September engaged
these scoundrels at a village called Muugur-
wars, some three and a-half or four miles from
the lift bank of the river. .We drove them
from their position, with scarcely any loss on
our side, taking six of their guns and marching on
about 14 miles. Next day we moved on again
without any molestation to I3unnee, about 15 miles
further, and on the 23d we moved to Alumbagh,
where we engaged the enemy, driving them off, and
taking some of their guns, These two days and the
day following were the closing of the rains, which
fell as heavy and continuously as one ever sees in
the height of the season. We were unable to pitch
tents, for the whole country was under water, and
we had to put, the force into the deserted and
ruinous villages. On the 25th of September we
advanced into Lucknow, and, after forcing the
b:idge over the canal, we took the enemy by sur-
prise by marching round to the eastward through
the saburbs, whereas they expected us along the
usual macadamised read straight through the town.
After hard fighting all day, and running the gaunt-
let through heavy fire from guns and musketry
from loopholedbouses, we in the evening reached
i
the Residency ntrenchment. Next day and the
two following were fully occupied in driving out
the enemy from thuneighbourhood, and taking pos-
session of some large palaces and houses, when we
were again enclosed by their numbers, and shut up
almost as completely as the old garrison we had
come to relieve, Which, however, we had saved
from utter d. sti uetion by our junction. From
this time until the 16th of Nov. we were besieged,
and under a continual fire of shot and musketry.
On that day Sir Colin Campbell relieved us, having
had exceeding hard fighting through the town to

which appeared to be extremely heavy, could be got
out of the hearse, and, when it was disengaged, the
upper (head) part of it struck the bier with such
violence that persons who were 100 yards distant
distinctly heard the sound produced by the
shock. The hearse was followed by 80 or 90
Generals, and they by 500 or 600 officers of
all arms. While the coffin was being carried
into the church all these officers were assembled
on the place in front of the cathedral, and
such a vast assemblage of Blanes and feathers has
rarely, if ever, been seen at one and the same time.
Among the General-officers were the Marshal Arch-
duke John. the Archduke Francis Charles (father of
the present Emperor), the Archduke Ludwig (brother
of the late Emperor Francis), Marshal Prince Win-
di,chgratz, Lieut.-General von Rabenhorst, the
Saxon Minister of War, Lieutenant-General von
Hoheuhausen, the Coiaritander of the Second Divi-
sion of the Bavarian army, and many other
distinguished foreigners. As soon as the corpse
of the deceased Marshal had been taken into
the Cathedral, where it did not remain more
than three or four minutes, the Emperor put hiin-
self at the head of the troops which were drawn up
iu the Rothenthurm-Strasse, and when the coffin
had been replaced in the hearse the procession
moved towards the suburb Jagerzeile, at the end
of which is the terminus of the Northern Rail-
road, by which the body is to go to Stockheran,
the nearest station to Wetzdorf. To the sides
of the rich velvet pall with which the coffin
was covered were a.tached the numerous stars
and crosses that formerly ornamented the breast of
Radetzky, and on the top of the coffin lay his mar-
shal's staff, sword, sash, and hat. The chief
mourners were Count Theodore Radetzky and
Baron Wenkheim, his brother-in-law. In accord-
ance with th. 3 wish of the Emperor Alexander 11.,
the sword which his father gave Radetzky will be
laid in the grave with him.
The windows of some of the houses opposite the
principal entrance to the Cathedral were hung with
black c!oth by their owners. Since the death and
burial of the Archduke Charles, in 1847, there has
been no such pompous funeral ceremony in Austria
as that which has to-day been performed in this
city.

THAMES.

A HORSE-DEALING TRICE.—Mr. Joseph Smith, solici-
tor, applied to Mr. Yardley for a summons against a person
named Day for defrauding Mr. Salveson, a tradesman,
under the following curious eirettnpstaneea '

Mr. Smith stated that his Client, Mr. Salveson, had a
pony to dispose of, and he agreed with a man named Day
to exchange it for a horse, which appeared perfectly sound
and free from blemish. On the following morning, when
the horse was groomed and washed, it was found to be
covered with sores, which had been ingeniously painted
over and concealed before the horse came into the
possession of Mr. Salveson. liis client attempted :to
work the horse, and a constable stationed on the
Brunswick Wharf, Blackwell, threatened to min_
mon him to the police court if he did so,
and the animal was driven to its stable. Mr. Salvoson was
now in possession of a worthless horse, covered with sores,
and Day had obtained a valuable pony.
Mr. Yardley—This is an attempt to make this court
a tribunal to try a horse cause.
Mr. Smith—With due submission to the Court, sir, I
mean to say it is a kind of fraud to paint over the sores of
a horse and pass it off as a sound one.

xcb.ange. I think
County Court, or into one
pin Yardley—Yes, but there was an o
you must take the case into the
of the superior courts at Westminster. If you make out
the sores of the horse were painted to conceal them, you
will no doubt recover damages. I decline to grant a sum-
mons.

Funtous DRIVING.—James and Elizabeth Norman, man
and wife, each about 30 years of age, wore brought before
Mr. Yardley charged with being drunk and disorderly and
furiously driving a horse arid cart in High-street, White-
chapel.
Police-constable 122 H, stated that last night he saw the
prisoners with a horse and cart—the man had hold of the
reins, and the woman was flogging the horse with a whip.
They drove along the crowded street in a most reckless
manner. The prisoners were both drunk and incapable of
managing the horse they were driving. Re took them into
custody, and they made a good deal of noise.
The male prisoner said he was very sorry, indeed, that he
had been guilty of drunkenness, and was still more sorry
that his wife was in the same position as himself. They
met a few friends yesterday and took a drop too much.

Mr. Yardley—l would have allowed you both to depart
if you had not presumed to drive a horse and cart while you
were drunk. The woman, your wife, appears to be
thoroughly ashamed of herself, and I do not wonder at it.
She may go, but I shall fine you, the husband, 58, for beinr,
dnuik and disorderly

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

CREATING A DISTURBANCZ AT AIREATRI3.--Jatle
mondS was placed at the bar, charged with creating a dis-
turbance at the Queen's Theatre, Tottenham-court-road,
under the following circumstances :

Thomas Smith, a young man, said De was in the pit of
the Queen's Theatre on the previous evening, and about 10,
while the performances were going on, he saw the prisoner
throw an apple on to the stage, which struck Mrs. Cowell,
one of the actresses, and threw the whole place into confu-
sion, the performances in consequence coming to a stop.
She seemed to have been drinking,
In answer to the charge the prisoner said she did not
mean it for Mrs. Cowell, but for some one else. She was
not sober at the time.

Mr. Boadon said she had no business to be in a state of
intoxication in a place of public resort, and thrown an apple
on the stage, whether it was intended for Mrs. Cowell or
any one else.
ASSAULT, AND STEALING A 'VALUABLE CARRIAGE DOG.
—Caroline Leach and Margaret Davis were charged, the
former with stealing a carriage dog, the property of Capt.
Woodgate, and the latter with an assault.

From the evidence of Hardwick,—tiekeeper at Messrs.
Laurie and Manners', carriage builders, Oxford-street, it ap-
peared that on the previous day two servants of Captain
Woodgate were at the factory putting the horses
to the carriage, the dog being with them, when it was
suddenly missed, and he having made inqUiries in the
neighbourhood and gained access to the next house
to that in which the prisoners lived, a brothel,
he heard the bark of a dog proceed from the prisoners' house.
He then went for a constable, and, on demanding the dog
from the prisoner Leach, she refused to give it up, and the
prisoner Davis made an attack on Hardwick, kicking him
violently in a delicate part.

The defence of the prisoner, through Mr. E. Lewis, of
Great Marlborough-street, was that the dog had strayed
into the prisoner (Leach's) home, and that Leach refused
to give it up to any one but the right owner ; and not being
satisfied that they had any right to it, she resisted its being
taken away, but had no intention of stealing it ; and as to
the assault, that was only done in Davis protecting her
mistress, the witness Hardwick having struck her.
Hardwick denied he had struck the female.
Mr. Beadon said he should discharge Leach, but should
commit Davis for a month.

A good deal of merriment was created by the witness, in
the course of his evidence, stating that he had been told
that the dog—a large handsome carriage dog—had been
conveyed into the house under the female's petticoat,

POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.

This place has undergone a complete reformation.
It has been restored to the uses for which it was
originally intended. In the place of exhibitions of
a character with which science had nothing what-
ever to do, lectures are now delivered by comptent
professors upon almost all subjects connected with
natural philosophy, and upon the most important
discoveries of the present day. At the same time,
that the attractions may be varied, the science of
music is illustrated by the lectures of Mr. Thorpe
Peed, in a manner which unites information with
amusement ; and many minor improvements have
been adopted. The arrangement of the models has
been classified, and notices of their purposes speci-
ally affixed to them. There are also lectures, at a
low rate of charge, for the operative classes, of
which they will do well to avail themselves. That
the alterations in the management have been pro-
perly appreciated, may be concluded from the fact
of much more numerous and much more respectable
visitors attending the galleries and lecture rooms
than for some time past.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

(Before Mr. Pashley, Q.C., Assistant-Judge.)
Two disorderly women, named Mary Caton and
Ann Brown, were brought up to be dealt with as
incorrigible rogues under the Vagrant Act, having
been guilty of indecent and riotous conduct in the
public streets. They were each sentenced to six
months' hard labour.

Chas. Gilham, 46, a man who was stated to have
been a publican, and of hitherto very good character
was indicted for stealing a watch, value £lO, the
property of Edward Smith.
The prisoner obtained the watch by a trick, and
said he had got a customer for one. He was to re-
turn it or the money in an hour, but he pawned it.
He was found guilty, and strongly recommended to
mercy.
The Court sentenced him to four months' hard
labour.
Frederick Newland, 22, was indicted for stealing
a watch and locket, value £l7, the property of G.
F. Dawley, in his dwelling-house, and was con-
victed and sentenced to 15 months' hard labour.

Mary Pearce, 40, was convicted of robbing Daniel
Sullivan, a Crimean soldier, of his medal and clasps,
and 3d., and was sentenced to four months' hard
labour.
Benjamin Squire was indicted for an assault. He
had paid the prosecutor £3 to make the matter
up ; the latter was content, and the Assistant-
Judge thought it was an ample penalty for the pri-
soner to pay. Under the circumstances the pri-
soner, however, would not plead guilty, so the
case had to be proved. He was found guilty upon
clear evidence, and sentenced to pay a fine of 40s.

A BON MOT FROM THE CALEDONIAN CANAL.—
It gives us pleasure to state that the touring routes in the
Highlands are extremely well frequented this season, and
that wit and fashion are rife on the great canal. A party
Were assembled on the paddle-deck of one of the steamers
the other day, among whom were Earl Grey and a distin-
shed member of the English bar. After enjoying the
beauty of the scenery and the pleasures of conversation for
some time, the noble earl retreated from the chilly atmo-
sphere to the cabin, and while going down stairs it was
observed by one of the party that a hole had been burned
some means or other in the skirt of his lordship's coat.
he barrister was asked whether Earl Grey smoked, and
replied that he did not think that imbibing the sweets of
the weed was one of his lordship's enjoyments, but was
curious to know why. such a question was asked. On being
told of the suspicious hole in the coat, that learned
gentleman said— Ah I the noble earl has probably sat
down on one of his own speeches."—Glasgow Morning

BOTTLE FOUND IN LEITH ROADS.—OIt Sunday
afternoon a bottle, corked and sealed down,. ryas discovered
floating in Leith Roads, off the West Pies When opened it
was found to contain the following note„ written with a black
lead pencil on a slip of paper, which had evidently been torn
out of a pocket-book :—" The brig Robert Gunn, of New-
castle, sprung a leak out of sight of land. No hopes. Don't
know'where we are. Allaust 16, 1858. Please talre this to

TILE NAVY.

The Archer, 13, screw sloop, Capt. J. Sanderson,
is to go out of Portsmouth harbour on Friday, and
will anchor at Spithead to take in her powder and
:hell and to wait further orders.

The Windsor Castle, 116, from Pembroke, arrived
in Plymouth Sound on Monday.
Orders have been received at Plymouth to pre-
pare the Endymion, Hamadryad, and Nemesis for
hospital ships ; the two former for Liverpool, the
latter for the Clyde.
Large supplies of iron guns continue to be re-
ceived at Woolwich from the contractors' works.
Yesterday 21 of the heaviest calibre were landed at
the Royal Arsenal by the Contest, from the Low-
moor foundry.
Her Majesty's iron paddlewheel steam vessel
Bloodhound was yesterday docked at Woolwich, to
be cleaned down and to be coated with the patent
composition recently adopted as a preservative of
both iron and wooden vessels against rust and worm.
The gunboats Ruby and Sandily were yesterday
undocked at Woolwich and were hauled into basin.
The Admiralty yacht Black Eagle has arrived at
Wosiwich from Portsmouth.
In compliance with the circular from the Lords
Commissioners of the Admiralty, directing the cap-
tain superintendent to forward to the Admiralty the
names, services, &c., of all officers and clerks, arti-
ficers and workmen, attaining the age of 70 years,
now employed in the dockyard at Chatham, the
following names were sent up this day for super-
annuation :—Mr. J. Kluth, leading man of the rig-
gers, who has been 45 years in the yard ; Mr. W.
Edgcumbe, master rigger ; Mr. Burton, master
ropemaker ; Mr. Cheeseman, foreman of the mast-
home ; Mr. Smith, master painter ; Mr. Sturgeon,
leading man of the boat-house. Charles Pope, Esq.,
master attendant, retires on Nov. 1, on a pension of
12s. 6d. per day. He was appointod master atten-
dant at this yard on Nov. 5, 1853.
It appears by recent advices from Vancouver's
Island that Governor Douglas, taking into conside-
ration the high prices of the necessaries of life, and
to prevent the crews of her Majesty's ships being
tempted by the gold mania to desert their salt, has
most generously, and it is Thought wisely, taken
upon himself (subject to the approval of the home
government) to double the pay of all the officers,
seamen, and marines of the Royal navy employed
upon the shores of British Columbia. This is only
right and just, and need be no additional burden on
the resources of the mother country, as the double
pay in the shape of colonial allowance can with
propriety be charged to the revenue arising from
the duties, &c., of British Columbia. The services
of her Majesty's ships just at this time must be
most valuable, and the employment trying and
severe. There is a perfect exodus from California,
and at this time private letters estimate some 50,000
emigrants in British territory, 20,000 in Vancouver's
Island, waiting for the waters of Frazer River to
fall.
