COLONY OF VICTORIA.

The following are extracts from the " Commercial
and Financial Report," (for the correspondents of
Westgarth, Ross, and Co.), per mail from Mel-
bourne of 16th August, 1858 :
LONDON, 15th October, 1858.—The August Mail from
Australia, lue here, via Marseilles, on the 3d, was delivered
only yesterday morning. Telegrams from Malta had pre-
ceded it by the usual five days. The outward May Mail
did not reach Melbourne until Ist August, 27 days behind
time, nor the June Mail till August, eight days overdue.
From the constant mishaps of this postal service, the color
nists may now hope to be at length delivered by the fresh
contract just concluded with the Peninsular and Oriental
Company, for continuing the Suez line. The arrangement
is understood to be for seven years, and the aid to be about
the Same as that to the former company—viz., £185,000
yearly. The steamers proceed to Sydney, calling at St.
George's Sound, Kangaroo Island (for Adelaide), and
Melbourne. Fifty-five days are allowed between South-
ampton and Sydney, 52 days from or to Melbourne, and
five days less respectively vie Marseilles. Leaving South-
ampton on the l,2th of each month, and Sydney on the 15th,
it is expected that between arrival and departure of Mails,
there will be seven days at Sydney, 13 days at Melbourne,
and 17 days at Adelaide ; while in England there will be
12 days between arrival and departure, via Marseilles. The
call at Galls is now to be only for the outward passage ;
homewards there is instead a call at Mauritius, with the
advallago of avoiding the monsoons, and at an
estimated extra distance of only a hundred miles.
The regular service begins at Southampton 'on 12th March,
and at Sydney on 15th February next, the Home Govern-
ment having arranged for the mails prior to these dates with
the West India Royal Mail Company. Meanwhile the first
vessel for the Southern Station, the " Salsette," of 1,900
tons and 400 horse-power, leaves Southampton for the Cape
route on Ist proximo, and will carry a Mail. In these times
of failure with Steam -boat Companies, only one other
tender was sent in, which wasthat of the West India Royal
Mail Company, but for a considerably larger sum than that
of its rival. Most likely this company will shortly arrange
for the monthly service via Panama, which the Imperial
Government are now evidently contemplOng.
SNIPPING INTEREST.—PORT OF MELBOURNE.—The
town is eight miles up the River Yarra, and vessels drawing
above nine feet water cannot ascend. To larger shipping
the voyage terminates at the anchorage, Hobson's Bay, and
this is held to fulfil " Port of Melbourne" in the Bill of
Lading. To bind the ship to deliver in Melbourne requires
a more special mention as " Melbourne Wharf ;" at the
anchorage, cargoes are discharged by lighters, or ships may
now discharge in Hobson's Bay, at the jetty of the Mel-
bourne and Hobson's Bay Railway. Presently the Wil-
liamstown and Melbourne Railway will afford the same
facility. The Government are just completing this work,
and also about to deepen the Channel of the Yarra.

NICOLLS'_ NEW REGISTERED PALETOT
has all those advantages which- secured finch general
popularity to Messrs. Nicolls' original paletot, that is to say,
it avoids giving to the wearer an outré appearance, so that
professional men and all others can use it during.morning and
afternoon in or out of doors.' Secondly, there is an absence of
unnecessary seams, well known to secure a more graceful out-
line, as well as to effect a peat saving in wear ;- the latter
advantage is considerably enhanced by the application of a
peculiar and neatly stitched binding, the mode of effecting
which is patented. Great exertions are being made to supply
Messrs. Nicolls' agents throughout the country and the
colonies with an assortment of this new garment, simulta-
neously with the display in London, but it is necessary to in-
form the public that all Messrs. Nicolls' manufactures may be
distinguished by a trade mark, consisting of a silk label
attached to each specimen ; to copy this is fraud, and may be
thus detected. If the garment is dark-coloured, the label has
a black ground, with the firm's name and address woven by
the Jacquard loom in gold-coloured silk ; if the garment is
light-coloured, the label has a pale drab ground, and red silk
letters. Each paletot is marked in plain figures, at a fixed
moderate prfce, and is of the best materials. In London, the
NEW REGISTERED PALETOT can alone be had of
and D. NICOLL, 114, 116, 118, 120, Regent-street, and 22,
Cornhill.

TRA.—The public sales yesterday went off very heavily ;
about 17,000 packages were offered, of which 3,500 were
sold, in most instances at a slight decline on former rates.
Good common congou realised about 10d to 1014 per lb.
SUGAR.—The market is very quiet. Prices, however,
are steady, the demand being principally for the better de-
scriptions of British West India. In the refined market
there is little alteration to report. The inquiry for
westward goods is rather active, and prices remain steady.
COFFEE.—Good qualities of plantation Ceylon continue
in fair, demand, and previous rates are maintained. Native
Ceylon met a fair inquiry for exportation, at about former
quotations.
RICE.—The market is exceedingly dull, very few trans-
actions being reported, and prices are unaltered.
SALTPETRE.—There is a very moderate inquiry, and a
few parcels sold at very uneven prices.
TALLOW.—The market is firm, and prices exhibit an
upward tendency. P.Y.C. on the spot Is quoted 51s to

GREENWICH AND TIIE MAIN DRAINAGE SCHEME.
—A meeting of the Greenwich District Board of Works
was held last evening at the board-room adjoininF the Mitre
Tavern, Greenwich, for the purpose of taking into consi-
deration the roposed
placing of the outfall and the con-
struction of depodorising works in the Greenwich marshes.
The chair was occupied by Mr. Alderman Wire, and there
was a large 'number of members present from th© parishes
of St. Paul and St. Nicholas, Deptford, including the ham-
let of Hatcham. Capt. Routh, in a brief address, moved
the following resolution :—" That any. proposition for an
outfall at Greenwich, and for deodorising or defecating
the sewage of the southern side of the metropolis in or near
the Greenwich marshes, is highly objectionable, and fraught
with danger to the health of the inhabitants of this popu-
lous district ; and this board therefore protests against any
such plan or project, the effect of which would be so inju-
rious to persons and property in this district,. being carried
into eifeet.7 The motion was seconded by Mr, Reeve, and
carried igiauiplously,

THAMES.

DESPERATE AFFRAY WITH THREE SOLDIERS,—Richa rd
Goodhall, Thomas Maclaren, and William Higgins, privates
in the Scots Fusilier Guards, stationed in the Tower of
London, were brought before Mr. Selfe charged with being
drunk and disorderly, and assaulting several policemen and
civilians.

It appeared from the evidence of John Payne, waiter, and
John Bates, barman at the Blue Anchor public-house at
the corner of Dock-street, near the Sailors' Home, Ratcliff-
highway, that the prisoners came there last night and made
a disturbance. They were ejected, and then made a row
outside. They entered the house a second time and be-
came very disorderly. After a severe struggle they were
ejected a second time. They entered the house together
for the third time at half-past eleven o'clock, and
Higgins, as he entered the house, dashed his fist through a
large pane of plate glass, worth 50s. The prisoners then
"kicked up a row," and took off their belts, with which
they attacked the waiter and barman. Payne was struck
on the head, and several quiet persons in front of the bar
were also struck by the prisoners, who also assaulted seve-
ral females. The prisoners were once more ejected from
the Blue Anchor, and then made an attack on the police
with their belts. Goodhall and Maclaren struck at Easton,
191 H, right and left with their belts, and his hat was
knocked to pieces. Easton was quite sure he should have
been killed if a reinforcement of police had not arrived.
Easton defended himself with his staff as well as he was
able and struck Goodhall and Maclaren about the body with
it. The row then became general, and the mob were so
exasperated with the savage conduct of the soldiers that
they made a fierce attack upon them, and they were sub-
dued.

Police-constable 417 A said when he came up the pri-
soners were striking right and left with their belts. The
soldiers were very drunk. -- •
••

A sergeant of the regiment to which the prisoners be-
long said they were generally very well-behaved men.
Mr. Selfe said he was very sorry to see men of good cha-
racter in such a disgraceful position, but he had no alterna-
tive but to punish them for their violence and improper
conduct. He sentenced them each to 14 days' imprison-
ment in tho. House of Correction.

CORN EXCHANGE.

A fair average supply of wheat has come to hand this
week coastwise—viz., 2,110 qrs. Fresh up to-day the re-
ceipts from Kent, Essex, and Sussex, by land-carriage,
were limited. Hence the show of samples was small. Se-
lected parcels sold, without difficulty, at full prices ; but
low and damp qualities moved off slowly, at about Monday's
currency.

There was a large show of foreign wheat, for which we
experienced a slow inquiry, at stationary prices. In floating
cargoes of grain about an average business was passing. The show of English barley was limited, of foreign ex-
tensive. Sales progressed steadily, at full quotations. We
had a moderate inquiry for malt. In prices no change took
place.
Oats, the supply of which was tolerably good, were in
fair request, at previous quotations.
Beans, peas, and flour realised Monday's currency.

,LEGED MUR r.
BY HIS -,ER OF A PUBLICAN
WIFE AT DUDLEY.

This CAI,' DUDLEY, WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
e continues to create considerable excite-
ment, 'and several circumstances have tended to in-
creil..se rather than diminish it within the last two
days. In the first place, the county magistrates,
after hearing the evidence against Mrs. Webster
(wife of the deceased), came to the conclusion, on
Monday, that two of her daughters had assisted in
the attack upon their parent, and that the injuries
he had received had resulted in his death. The
woman and her two daughters, and a person named
Edward Oliver, who was proved to have taken
part in the outrage, were therefore committed to
take their trials at the forthcoming assizes for
wilful murder.
Yesterday evening, Mr. H. Robinson, the co-
roner, resumed the inquiry into the circumstances
attending the death of the unfortunate man Web-
ster, at the Swan Inn, and the coroner took occa-
sion to express his disapprobation at the conduct of
the magistrates in hearing the case, and coming to
a decision upon it before the inquest had termi-
nated. Such a course was, he thought, to say the
least, unusual, and he believed he was deserving of
more respect than had been shown him by the Jus-
tices before whom the police inquiry had been con-
ducted.
The eviance was very voluminous, and went
clearly to prove that the deceased Was knocked
down in his own house, and beaten by his wife
about the head with a poker, which was completely
bent by the force of the blows. His daughters as-
sisted their mother, and the unfortunate-manwas
beaten and kicked in so violent a manner that ha
died soon afterwards.

The jury returned a verdict of manslaughter
against the mother and daughters, expressiv s an
opinion that there was not sufficient evidence to
justify a similar verdict against the man 4r_cused of
assistmg in the outrage.
London, England, 1858-09-03

bad and full of worms. Before I fell I remember
to have seen several grown-up girls and young
ladies taken away by the sowars and other men,
but as many as were taken away there was not one
who had not personal attractions—the best passport
for her safety. They were taken towards the town,
find to what indignities they were subjected is a
mystery which will only be revealed on the day of
judgment. They were afterwards brought and kept
in the Assembly-house, but I do not know whether
the whole of the number or only a part was brought
back. The fugitives who had. escaped from Fur-
ruckabad and were coming down to Calcutta in
boats were stopped at Cawnpore and were taken up
and added to the inmates of the Assembly-house,
the whole of whom were massacred on the arrival
of General Havelock. There was not one spared to
inform the world-as to what had been perpetrated
on them. The rebels knew full well that the Bri-
tish army would ultimately triumph, and therefore
they took good care to destroy all of them who had
been eye-witnesses to their Tartaric barbarity. I
well remember that as long as the soldiers had car-
tridges and were bravely fighting away there was
no trace of the Nana Soor, but the moment the car-
tridges were over and the soldiers commencedthrow-
ing away their guns, then the beast made his ap-
pearance. He was laughing away while the poor
Europeans were being cut - down in his presence.
On the arrival of General Havelock the cowardly
miscreants of Cawnpore disappeared like stars at
dawn of day, and the Nana Soor disappeared like a
comet. I was promptly attended to, my wounds
were dressed, and I was forthwith sent to Allahabad,
where, being put under medical treatment, my
wounds got better, and I was sent down to Calcutta ;
and here I am with five marks, which I consider the
best evidence to confirm the truth of my statement.
I forgot to mention that Gen. Wheeler of the station
was not murdered with the rest of the gentlemen,
but a day after the massacre. His boat having left
Cawnpore had actually gone away about 14 miles,
when it was seized and brought back, and the fol-
lowing day he was put to death. He was made to
sit in the sun almost the whole day, and in the
evening he was cut down by the order of Nana
Sahib. The feeling of the Mahommedan portion of
the rebels was so bitter against the Christians that
nothing but blood would satisfy them. Before they
would strike a Christian down they would repeat
the word e., linit by the name of
God. Up to this time I.possess the piece of three
cubits of blue cloth which was given to every one
when the whole of the women were stripped, and
which piece any one seeing will have some idea at
least of the indignities offered to the ladies."

A SUBTERRANEAN DISTILLERY.—The officers of
the inland revenue in the Blackburn district, Lancashire,
having for some time had their suspicions directed to a
farmhouse belonging to and occupied by James Morris, at
Park-low, near Haslingden, they last week discovered 3
complete distillery beneath the farmhouse, and from which
there was internal communication. This was accomplished
after two days' search. A leaden pipe, fixed to the wall,
was traced to the turf-room, where it disappeared under
the flags of the floor. On, the flags being removed, an open-
ing two feet broad and eight feet deep was found, at the
bottom of which an officer who descended discovered a cellar
about six feet square. -In this place there were a truck and
a quantity of empty tubs, &c. Another passage was then
found, which led to another cellar, about six feet by eight
feet. Here were found worm, still, and all necessary appa-
ratus,. for the manufacture of illicit spirits, together Ult''
several jars and jugs of spirits. The chief part of the appa-
ratus was made of tin, and was of such large dimensions
that it had to be broken in pieces before it could be
removed. It is believed it must have been made in the
place where it was found. Immediately the officers
entered his premises Morris drove eight head of cattle front
the farm, and it is not known what he has done with them.
While the officers were investigating the premises Morris
told them that their labour would be all in vain, and
asserted his innocence of the charge of being an illicit
whisky spinner. On Saturday he was taken before the
Blackburn magistrates and convicted in the penalty of £3O
and costs ; in default he was sent to gaol for three months.
He was considered to be a very religious man; and was fre-
quently seen reading his Bible.
[AnvEnnsEmENT.]—Holloway's and
disordered liver. Mr. Bostock, druggist, of Ashton-under-
Lyne, states that a person with whom he is well acquainted
has received the benefit of a most astonishing cure by the
use of Holloway's pills. For months he was afflicted with
severe pains in the stomach, chest, and liver, which entirely
prevented him from following his business. He availed
himself of all the medical skill in the neighbourhood, with-
out deriving any benefit. He then determined on giving
Holloway's pills a trial, and this medicine had the effect of
affording immediate relief, and finally restoring him to per
feet health. This statement is published in the hope that
others similarly afflicted may secure the means of obtaining
the same relief.

mystery which will only be revealed on the day of
judgment. They were afterwards brought and kept
in the Assembly-house, but I do not know whether
the whole of the number or only a part was brought
back. The fugitives who had escaped from Fur-
ruckabad and were coming down to Calcutta in
boats were stopped at Cawnpore and were taken up
and added to the inmates of the Assembly-house,
the whole of whom were massacred on the arrival
of General Havelock. There was not one spared to
inform the world as to what had been perpetrated
on them. The rebels knew full well that the Bri-
tish army would ultimately triumph, and therefore
they took good care to destroy all of them who had
been eye-witnesses to their Tartaric barbarity. I
well remember that as long as the soldiers had car-
tridges and were bravely fighting away there was
no trace of the Nana Soor, but the moment the car-
tridges were over and the soldiers commencedthrow-
ing away their guns, then the beast made his ap-
pearance. He was laughing away while the poor
Europeans were being cut down in his presence.
On the arrival of General Havelock the cowardly
miscreants of Cawnpore disappeared like stars at
dawn of day, and the Nana Soor disappeared like a
comet. I was promptly attended to, my wounds
were dressed, and I was forthwith sent to Allahabad,
where, being put under medical treatment, my
wounds got better, and I was sent down to Calcutta ;
and here I am with five marks, which I consider the
best evidence to confirm the truth of my statement.
I forgot to mention that Gen. Wheeler of the station
was not murdered with the rest of the gentlemen,
but a day after the massacre. His boat having left
Cawnpore had actually gone away about 14 miles,
when it was seized and brought back, and the fol-
lowing day he was put to death. He was made to
sit in the sun almost the whole day, and in the
evening he was cut down by the order of Nana
Sahib. The feeling of the Mahommedan portion of
the rebels was so bitter against the, Christians that
nothing but blood would satisfy them. Before they
would strike a Christian down they would repeat
the word Bismillah,' i.e., linit by the name of
God. Up to this time I possess the piece of three
cubits of blue cloth which was given to every one
when the whole of the women were stripped, and
which piece any one seeing will have some idea at
least of the indignities offered to the ladies."

BOROUGH HOP.

About 150 pockets of new hops have come to hand from
Sussex and Kent, since picking was commenced. Their
condition is remarkably fine, but as yet it is difficult to quote
prices accurately. The plantation accounts tend to prove
that the duty will be fully £255,000, at which sum it is still
estimated. Yearling and old hops are much neglected.

CORN EXCHANGE.

A fair average supply of wheat lias come to hand this
week coastwise—viz., 2,110 qrs. Fresh up to-day the re-
ceipts from Kent, Essex, and Sussex, by land-carriage,
were limited. Hence the show of samples was small. Se-
lected parcels sold, without difficulty, at full prices ; but
low and damp qualities moved off slowly, at about Monday's
currency.
There was a large show of foreign wheat, for which we
experienced a slow inquiry, at stationary prices. In floating
cargoes of grain about an average business was passing.
The show of English barley was limited, of foreign ex-
tensive. Sales progressed steadily, at full quotations. We
had a moderate inquiry for malt. In prices no change took
place.
Oats, the supply of which was tolerably good, were in
fair request, at previous quotations.
Beans, peas, and flour realised Monday's currency.

DESPERATE AFFRAY WITH THREE SOLDIERS.--Ritcha rd
Goodhall, Thomas Maclaren, and William Higgins, in ivates
in the Scots Fusilier Guards, stationed in the To • wer of
London, were brought before Mr. Selfe charged with, being
drunk and disorderly, and assaulting several policennen and
civilians. _ _ _

v.
It appeared from the evidence of John Payne, waiter, and
John Bates, barman at the Blue Anchor public-h reuse at
the corner of Dock-street, near the Sailors' Home, I atcliff-
highway, that the prisoners came there last night aned made
a disturbance. They were ejected, and then mado a row
outside. They entered the house a second time and be-
came very disorderly. After .a severe struggle they were
ejected a second time. They entered the house together
for the third time at half-past eleven o'clo(11c, and
Higgins, as he entered the house, dashed his fist tba.ough a
large pane of plate glass, worth 50s. The prison( nes then
"kicked up a row," and took off their belts, with which
they attacked the waiter and barman. Payne wao struck
on the head, and several quiet persons in front of the bar
were also struck by the prisoners, who also assault cal seve-
ral females. The prisoners were once more eject red from
the Blue Anchor, and then made an attack on tl ie police
with their belts. Goodhall and Maclaren struck at Easton,
191 H, right and left with their belts, and his ; hat was
knocked to pieces. Easton was quite sure he should have
been killed if a reinforcement of police had not • arrived.
Easton defended himself with his staff as well as he was
able and struck Goodhall and Maclaren about the b ody with
it. The row then became general, and the mob were so
exasperated with the savage conduct of the soldiers that
they made a fierce attack upon them, and they N were sub-
dued. _ _

Police-constable 417 A said when he came up the pri-
soners were striking right and left with their belts. The
soldiers were very drunk

A sergeant of the regiment to which the prisoners be-
long said they were generally very well-behaved men.
Mr. Selfe said he was very sorry to see men of good cha-
racter in such a disgraceful position, but he had no. alterna-
tive but to punish them for their violence and improper
conduct. He sentenced them each to 14 days' imprison-
ment in the House of Correction.

The Superior President of the province of Bran-

in the journals of Berlin :

" The Queen of Great Britain before her depar-
ture conferred on me the high mission of making
known to the public how much her Majesty and
the Prince Consort have been gratified by the
friendly and affectionate sentiments of the inhabi-
tants of the country, and particularly of the royal
residences, and the neighbouring localities ;—senti-
ments of which they received so many testimonies
during their journey, and especially during their
.stay at Babelsberg. H.M. and H.R.H. particularly
desire that it shall be stated that the cordial atten-
tion of the population of the capital, on the occa-
sion of the birthday of the Prince Consort, caused
them great pleasure, and has inspired them with
sincere gratitude. The Queen and Prince will ever
retain the most agreeable remembrance of their

LATEST NEWS.

THE BOMBAY MAIL.

We have received by the Overland Express, in
anticipation of the Bombay Mail, our letters and
papers from Bombay, dated the 4th of August.
The following is the summary of the Bombay
Times:—

The rebel fugitives of Gwalior, after plundering
Tonk, entered the Boondee territory, closely fol-
lowed by Colonel Holmes's brigade. General
Roberts, with the force from Nusseerabad, was still
at Tonk on the 19th July.
Behar is in a more tranquil state than formerly,
but the rebels occupied Shahabad in great force,
ravaging the province with impunity. Captain
Rattray, however, had succeeded in killing several
of the rebel leaders, who had made themselves con-
spicuous by their attacks upon the vilages. On the
sth July he defeated Judder Sing's force at Kusma,
killing a great number.

Sir Hope Grant left Lucknow on the 21st July,
with a strong force, to relieve Maun Sing, and oc-
cupy Fyzabad.
A small body of troops from Allahabad, under
Colonel Berkley, which had moved across the
Ganges, had succeeded in capturing several of the
enemy's strongholds. A fort near Simon, occu-
pied by 700 rebels, was carried, and all the garri-
son put to the sword.

Sir Hugh Rose has resumed command of the
Poonah division, and was on the 3rd August
sumptuously entertained by the Byculla Club.
The gallant general appears in excellent health
and spirits.
The Governor-General is still at Allahabad, but
it is said contemplates a visit to Lucknow. An act
had been passed in the Legislative Council extend-
ing the period of the Governor-General's absence in
the North-West Provinces for six months longer.
Lady Canning had left Calcutta to join her husband
at Allahabad.

Lord Harris, Governor of Madras, arrived at the
Neilgherries on the 16th July. Sir Patrick Grant
still remained at Ootacamund.

Lord Elphinstone and Sir Henry Somerset are
both at Poona, where they will stay till the end of
the monsoon.

The forgery of the Oude amnesty affords a fair
indication of the lengths to which the party opposed
to Lord Canning in this country is prepared to
carry its hostility. The pseudo-proclamation ap-
peared in the first columns, of the Bombay Gazette,
and was so perfect an imitation of Lord Canning's
former manifesto that his friends and enemies alike
supposed it genuine. We seem to have stood all
but alone in believing it spurious, when the follow-
ing letter from the. Secretary to the Government of
India was received by the Calcutta press, and set
the matter at rest :
