BOURSE, Sept. 20.—Two o'clock.—The announce-
ment published this morning in the Moniteur that
the October coupon of the Mexican Bonds would
be postponed in consequence of the non-receipt of
the necessary funds, not only caused a fall on that
security, but made a very bad impression on the
market in general, and put an end to the movement
of improvement which has been in progress for the
last few days. French Threes were done at 69f.
37 4c., or 17ic. lower; Italian Fives at 57f. 60c., or
a fall of 205 c. ; Credit Mobilier at 672 f. 50c., or a
decline of 7f. 50c. Comptoir d'Escompte at 915 f.,
or a loss of 10f. ; Credit Foncier at 1,385 f., un-
changed. Mexican Bonds have been done as low
as 125 f., but have recovered to 131 f. 25c., or 31f.
25c. below yesterday's quotation. No noticeable
variation in railways.

American Lady Tippers.

(From the London Review.)

In these days ladies begin to imagine that they
display a spirit of independence by eagerly imitating
their male friends--in America especially this fancy
is pushed to the utmost. They preach, they teach,
and they practise—as physicians. They lecture as
vehement politicians, they masquerade in various
costumes more or less masculine, and Dr. Mrs. So-
and-So is :stated with applause to have discarded the

barbarous and slavish custom of long robes and
side-saddles when she goes to visit her patients.
When once they have begun to play " fast and
loose" with the old world notions there is nothing
to hinder them from advancing beyond these limits.
Once that it becomes a fixed idea that the more
women imitate men the more independence of cha-
racter do they show, and the more justice they do
to their " individuality," there is no reason to be-
lieve that they will refrain from drinking strong
liquors because some men think it unwomanly. The
fashion is against being " womanish." There are,
no doubt, among ourselves, persons who may be
termed frail bibbers, and some who regard as the
chief attraction of certain of our places of
amusement the possibility of gratifying their ap-
petite without comment. Physicians also know of
cases where ladies of a higher station take as
medicine various " strengthening tinctures," less
medicinal than alcoholic. But these keep their
shame concealed ; they do not obtrude it on the
public view.

None of our most censorious critics have yet ven-
tured to inform us that even "girls of eighteen, the
daughters of our most respectable merchants, have
been seen grossly intoxicated upon our public
streets." An American journal, of good character,
gives us this piece of information ; and from private
sources we can, unfortunately, corroborate many of
its statements. Ladies of good position in society have
been noticed in Broadway passing along in all the
majesty of silks, satins, and diamonds, but with
a step lamentably unsteady. The " watering-
places " have become " liquoring-places " for many
of them ; there the young belles of the season
first become initiated in the fashionable vice. They
sit out on the piazzas in the long evenings, and,
separated from the usual sights and routine of
life, permit themselves more freedom than usual.
They think it amusing, we are told, to be
made " funny" by drinking with gentlemen.
But it unfortunately happens that this " passing
spree" does not pass away altogether when they
return to town. They have created an appetite
which is in no hurry to leave them. Nor need they
give up for want of opportunities to gratify their
vitiated tastes. They go out shopping, and the
merchants always keep on hand a bottle of wine,
lest their customers should thirst in vain. They visit
their modistes, and their establishments, it appears,
are fashionable drinking-houses also. It is not merely
that the proprietor offers her customers a glass of
wine, but she really sells her whatever drink is most
agreeable, and sets it down in the bill as " small
trimmings." " Small trimmings !" it is the title of
an essay, but perhaps the essayist would prefer that of
" extra luncheons," which is the synonym adopted
at the watering-place hotels. But besides these
panders, there are the " ladies' restaurants." In
some of these " saloons" there is nothing to shock
the most fastidious eye upon the bill of fare—none
but the initiated understand the full meaning of the
considerate intimation—" if you do not see what
you want, ask for it."
But there are other restaurants where even this
affected reticence is not observed restaurants
where " all sorts of fancy drinks are as freely
ordered by, and supplied to, women as creams and
ices used to be." Fashionable ladies enter here un-
attended, we are told, and call for liquors at all hours
of the day. Wine is not what they want, they can
get wine readily enough at home. Nor do they care
greatly for claret punches, sherry-cobblers, and the
like; these they can sip at evening parties, before
gentlemen. But Kinahan's " Lord Lieutenant"
whisky, or imitations, and undiluted brandy, are
forbidden fruit at such social reunions. They are
obtainable at the restaurants. For these are the
voices of the fashionable ladies, "moving iu the best
circles," heard calling at all hours of the day. And
when such is the case, who can wonder that the il-
licit enjoyment occasionally becomes a topic of pub-
,.

lie conversation, from the demeanour of the habituees
in the street ? It is perhaps the most melancholy
sight that can be conceived, that of matrons and
maidens afflicted with this dipsomania. We have
suggested one mode of moderating the evil; the
Americans have found out another, which is but a
palliation in particular cases. " Some of the most
elegant ladies of our leading cities," says an Ameri-
can" will pass this summer not at Sara-
toga or Newport, as usual, but at an asylum for
journal,
inebriates." After such an announcement there is
no need of drawing a moral.

Salmon in the River Medway.

Yesterday afternoon an influential public meeting
of landowners and other inhabitants of West Kent
was held at the Townhall, Maidstone, to take into
consideration the propriety of adopting measures
for stocking the river Medway with salmon and
other fish, and for the general improvement of the

river. The chair was occupied by the Mayor of
Maidstone, Mr. Lawrence, who had convened the
meeting in compliance with the request of an asso-
ciation recently formed at Tunbridge; and amongst
those present were Col. Scott, Dr. Woodfall, Alder-
man Haynes, Rev. J. Stratton, and Messrs. H. D.
Streatfield, Larkin, Goddard, Barling, Horton,
Hollingsworth, Watts, Cruttenden, Hoar, Edmett,

&c.; and Mr. Frank Buckland, with Mr. J. W. Fen-
nell, one of the Uovernment inspectors of fisheries,.
attended to point out the practicability of the
objects sought by the association.
The CHAIRMAN having read letters from the High
Sheriff of Kent, Mr. Whatman, M.P., and other
gentlemen, approving the objects of the meeting,
and regretting unavoidable absence, said he read
with pleasure a report of the important meeting held
at Tunbridge, where this movement was commenced,
and the information afforded by Mr. Frank Buck-
land was invaluable. The difficulties which existed
to prevent the stocking of the Medway with salmon
might at present be considered almost insuperable,
especially when it was well known that a large
amount of sewage and noxious refuse matter from
paper-mills and various factories wan emptied into
the river; but in this scientific age it was impossible
to say what might be done, and he, for one, should
be glad to see the stream in such a pure condition
that they might be enabled to take salmon at their
very doors. He should at once call upon Mr.
Buckland, who was a good authority, to give them
information on the subject.
Mr. F. BUCRLAND said in that county they had three
good rivers--the Thames, the Medway, and the Stour
—but they were at present comparatively useless so
far as the production of fish was concerned. He
believed that no valid reason existed why this should
continue to be the case, and that, by adopting the
proper means, it was as easy to grow fish as to
grow hops. The annual value of the salmon fisheries
amounted in Scotland to £500,000, in Ireland to
£300,000, but in England to £lO,OOO only. The
Medway, in consequence of its tributaries, was well
adapted for the cultivation of salmon, and it was
stated in ancient records that 1,300 salmon from the
Medway was supplied to the monks at Rochester.
He was not yet fully acquainted with the river and
all its sources. He knew, however, that some of its
tributaries were from 15 to 20 miles in length, and
it was to these streams that the salmon would go
to lay its eggs, if allowed to do so. There were a
number of locks on the Medway, which would pre-
vent the fish from going up the river, but this diffi-
culty might be overcome by the use of ladders,
which had been proved by repeated experiments.
Of course it would be impossible to breed salmon in
polluted water, and the refuse of gas works and
similar matter was particularly destructive. He
presumed, however, for the sake of their own health
and that of their families they wished to keep the
river pure, and if that was done, he felt confident
the object he advocated might soon be attained.
Mr. FENNELL, Government inspector of fisheries,
referred to the commission appointed in 1860 to in-
vestigate the subject of the salmon fisheries, and its
subsequent -labours, which had been attended with
a large amount of success. In Derbyshire the pro-
duce of the salmon fisheries had increased tenfold.
The Medway was not one of the rivers which had
yet been officially considered with respect to the
salmon fisheries, and be could not give any definite
idea at present as to the capabilities of the river,
but he felt very much encouraged from what he
had heard that morning from the man in charge of
the lock near Maidstone, who said that within two
months he had caught two sP.bnon weighing about
121bs. each. Lie quite agreed with Mr. Buckland
that the obstacles caused to the progress of the fish
up the river by these locks might be easily obviated
by the use of ladders. The length of the Medway
from its rise to the Nore was 69 miles, and there
were now many rivers in this country of not one-
fourth the extent which produced abundance of good
salmon. Mr. Fennell then referred to the act, in
order to show that irrespective of the fisheries local
authorities had power to prevent sewage, the refuse
from gasworks, and other offensive matter from
being emptied into rivers. In the course of his ex-
perience he had generally had more trouble with
small than with large gasworks, for the large gas
companies had found out that all the refuse from
their works could be disposed of and rendered a
source of profit. ' In that locality the existence of
numerous paper-mills was no doubt considered a
great obstacle to the breeding of salmon in the river,
but the refuse which came from these mills ought
not to be allowed to pollute the stream, and it was
quite unnecessary that such should be the case, as
by a small expenditure a reservoir might be con-
structed to receive the refuse, which could be sold
to the advantage of the manufacturer. This fact
had been repeatedly proved, and the paper-makers
were now beginning to recognise that they had been
throwing away that which might have been sold.
There had been several Government prosecutions
against papermakers for polluting rivers, and it was
clearly illegal to do so. At Richmond, in Yorkshire,
he had to bring a charge against a paper manufac-
turer for poisoning the fish in a river, and he pointed
out to the party offending that he ought to take a
piece of waste land upon which to remove the refuse.
This advice was taken, and all parties were satisfied.
In conclusion, he would say that he should, in the
exercise of his duties as a public officer, occupy
several days in making a complete inspection of•the
Medway and its tributaries, so that he might be in
a position at a future time to give more definite in-
formation, and he hoped in the prosecution of his
work to receive the valuable assistance of Mr.
Buckland.

Mr. BARLING acknowledged that it would be a
very pleasing thing to have the river stocked with
salmon, but he objected to the remarks made about
the nuisance from the paper-mills. He believed the
sewage was the chief cause of the pollution of the
river near Maidstone. They must., remember that
the making of paper was the staple manufacture of
the town, and afforded employment to a large por-
tion of the population. Allusion had been made to
the value of the produce of the salmon fisheries,
but the value of the paper made in that town was
£300,000 per annum ; and if the salmon did come
up the river, he did not expect that it would be one
penny per pound cheaper than at present.
Mr. HicKnorr was glad to see the increasing
opposition to the pollution of rivers by sewage, &c.,
and had read with pleasure the letters which had
appeared in the newspapers on the subject.
Mr. BROOK strongly supported the project, and
contended that no person should be allowed to pol-
lute the river to the injury of the public.
Mr. MoNcKToN, town clerk of the borough, said
he was warmly in favour of the objects of the asso-
ciation, which had been well set forth by Mr. Buck-
land and Mr. Fennell. He contended that the paper
manufacturers in the town, whomade large fortunes
ought not to be allowed to pollute the river as they
did at present. The number of mills was now about
the same as when he was a boy, and at that time
the river was not polluted. The change was caused
by the different material now used. It was quite
time that the evil was stopped, and he wondered
the town had put up with it so long.
Other gentlemen supported the objects of the
association, and the meeting was then adjourned to
enable Mr. Fennell to inspect the river and its
tributaries and present a report ou the whole
subject.

The Saul Public gives some further details of
the fearful steamboat accident at Lyons. It took
place at about half-past eight in the evening as the
steamer was about to effect her last trip. The boiler
was suddenly rent open from some unexplained
cause, and the steam spread through the vessel,
scalding the passengers in a dreadful manner. The
boiler was not exploded and blown up as first stated.
No other persons have died in addition to the three
already mentioned, and the number of those who
received less serious injuries is now said not to ex-
ceed eight or ten.

Proceedings against the London, Chatham,
and Dover Railway.

Yesterday, at the Sheriff'sZeurt, Red Lion-square, before
Mr. Under-Sheriff Burchell and a jury, the case'of the Rev.
Francis T. Blackburne and others v. the London, Chatham,
and Dover Railway, was heard, and created considerable
interest. It was a proceeding by way of elegit in the Com-
mon Pleas on a judgment for £9,000 to obtain a charge on
the surplus property of the company advertised for sale.
Mr. Lanyon was counsel for the plaintiffs; and Mr. Bridge
appeared for Mr. Johnson, the secretary, and Mr. Forbes,
the general manager of the company, who had been ap-
pointed receivers by the Court of Chancery.
Mr. Lanyon proceeded in his address to the jury to ex-
plain the nature of the proceedings, and said their duty was
to find what surplus property the company had in Middle-
sex which might be made available for his clients.
Mr. Bridge wished to inform the Court that he appeared
for the receivers of the company appointed by the Court of
Chancery, and by an order, which he would read, the Sheriff
of Middlesex had been restrained from all interference with
respect to the property of the company. The learned COlllll-
- read the order.
Mr. Lanyon objected to his learned friend appearing iu
the matter, as the receivers were not parties before the
Court, but only the company.
Mr. Bridge apprehended he could appear. Certain deben-
ture-holders had instituted suits in the Court of Chancery
and receivers had been appointed, the object being that de-
benture-holders should share pari passu, and he attended
to protect the interests of all parties, and to inform the
Court of the order made, which he considered was sufficient
answer to the present proceedings, and would prevent the
Court hearing the case.
Mr. Under-Sheriff Burchell was of opinion that, as officer
of the Sheriff, he was bound to execute the writ which had
been sent down from one of the superior courts. The learned
counsel (Mr. Bridge) had referred to a fi. fa., and not to
proceedings under a writ of elegit now before the Court.
Mr. Bridge said the learned Under-Sheriff was quite
right, but the injunction to the sheriff was in general terms,
and would apply to the present proceedings. Nothing
could bo done in the matter without a writ of ejectment,
and, therefore, no good could arise to the plaintiffs.
Mr. Under-Sheriff Burchell decided on proceeding with
the inquiry.
Mr. Bridge intimated that proceedings could be taken to
set This matter aside.
Mr. Under-Sheriff Burchell apprehended that the appli-
cation..s.
would rather be to et aside the return to the pro-
ceedings, and not the writ of elegit, which was simply to
the sheriff to ascertain what lands and tenements the com-
pany possessed.
Mr. Lanyon told the jury, in concluding his address, that
the writ of elegit could be extended to "surplus" land be-
longing to the company, which he should show they pos-
sessed in Middlesex.
Mr. Robt. Vigers was called—He was with his brother,
Francis V igers, sUrveyors.and auctioneers to the company.
They had received instructions from the solicitors to sell
certain surplus property, and advertised the same in the
Tinges, on the 23d August last.
Mr. Bridge made an observation, and Mr. Lanyon,
strongly objected to his interfering in the case, as he could
not be heard.
Mr. Under-Sheriff Burchell told Mr. Bridge that he had
no locus standi, and begged he would not interfere.
Mr. Bridge offered his services to "assist" the Court.
The learned Under-Sheriff thought the best course for
the learned counsel would be to sit still until he asked for
his assistance. (A laugh.)
Mr. Vigers, in answer to questions, said he did not know
any other surplus land but the property at Pimlico, which
was advertised to be sold.
Mr. Under-Sheriff Burchell asked what was meant by
surplus land.
Mr. Lanyon said the term in the act was surplus, and on
Mr. Bridge making a suggestion, begged him again not to
interfere.

The evidence of Mr. Vigers was deferred until the secre-
tary of the company had been called.
Mr. Wm. E. Johnson said he was secretary to the Lon-
don, Chatham, and Dover Company, and also one of the
receivers appointed by the Court of Chancery. He knew
of the advertisement which appeared on the 23d August,
but was not consulted upon it. He did not know of any
other surplus land in Middlesex, nor of any mortgage or
•
charge upon it.
Mr. James Forbes said he was the general manager, and
also the other receiver appointed by the Court of Chancery.
He knew what land was in use, and did not know of any
other surplus land in Middlesex, save the property described
in the advertisement. There was other property surplus
iu Surrey and Kent. Ho did not know whether the surplus
property was mortgaged.
Mr. Vigers was recalled, and was questioned in reference
to the property advertised in Hugh-street, Pimlico. He
declined to state the value of a plot.
Mr. Lanyon told him he was bound to answer the question
or he would be liable to a contempt of Court, and to be com-
mitted to prison.
• Mr. Vigers said he could answer the question, but it would
be au injury to the company to state the value. In another
case he had been pressed to give an answer.
Mr. Lanyon said unless the question were answered, he
must ask that Mr. Vigers be committed to Newgate.
Mr. Vigers replied that if the Under-Sheriff said he must
answer, he would do so, but it would prejudice his clients.
Mr. Under-Sheriff Burchell thought he ought not to be
called upon to exercise the authority the Court possessed
in ordinary cases. The present proceedings were on a writ
of elegit, and the plaintiffs themselves were to satisfy the
Court and the jury of the nature of the case fron► their own
witnesses. It was, in his opinion, very different from one
of the ordinary cases.
Mr. Lanyon said he must ask for the committal of Mr.
Vigers for contempt.
Mr. Vigers said he would answer if the Court told him
he must.
The learned Under-Sheriff told Mr. Vigers that as a wit-
ness he was bound to speak the truth, and the whole truth,
and if a question was put, no matter what would be the
result, he should answer if he could.
Mr. Vigers said he would answer the questions. He was
asked about the property advertised. The value of the
plot of freehold ground was £2OO. Some freehold resie
dences he described, and the land of the site of St. Michael's
,School was of itself worth £3,000, and £7,000 was the
value of the land on which Trollope's-yard stood. He
asked whether he was to go on. Only £9,000 'was re-
quired by the writ, and he had already given evidence of
property worth more than £ll,OOO.
Mr. Lanyon required further evidence as to the value of
the property.
Mr. Vigers gave the value of other property, £2,000 one
house, another was let at £l2O a-year, and the leasehold
interest in several °tiers he estimated at £3,000.
In answer to furtlnr questions,
Mr. Vigers said he did not know of any mortgage or
charge on the property. He was not likely to know.
Mr. Francis Vigers, brother and partner of the last wit-
ness, was called. He confirmed the evidence, and did not
know of any other surplus property in Middlesex, or
whether the property in question was mortgaged or
charged.
Mr. Bridge wished the Court to ask whether he did not
know that the receivers appointed by the Court of Chan-
cery were in the receipt of the rents of the part let. In
the interest of the public it should be known.
Mr. Under-Sheriff Burchell declined to put the question.
He had no curiosity in the matter, nor did he, like a
coroner, take evidence, which might be used for the benefit
of the public.
Mr. Francis Vigers knew the receivers bad served a
notice that the property vested in them by their appoint-
ment.

Mr. Lanyon submitted that he had satisfactorily proved
that the property he had described vested in the company.
Mr. Under-Sheriff Burchell told the jury it was for
them to say whether they were satisfied with the evidence.
The jury returned a verdict in accordance with the evi-
dence as to the value of the property in question.
Mr. Bridge asked the Court -whether the property could
be handed over to the plaintiffs, as he was ready to show
that it rested in the receivers of the Court of Chancery.
Mr. Under-Sheriff Burchell must decline to answer the
question. The parties could lodge a notice, if they thought
proper, at the office of the Sheriff.
Mr. Bridge was anxious that after the injunction by the
Court of Chancery the Sheriff should fall into no scrape.
Mr. Lanyon thought his friend took a personal interest
in the learned Under-Sheriff. (A laugh.)
Verdict accordingly.
THE REV. DANIEL SLOUGH V. THE LONDON, CHATHAM, AND
DOVER RAILWAY-ANOTHER WRIT OF ELEGIT.
This was another writ of elegit by the plaintiff, the Rev.
Daniel Oliver Elough, on a judgment debt of £2,097 4s. 4d.
obtained in the Common Pleas.
Mr. Tindal Atkinson, jun., for the plaintiff, suggested
that the evidence given in the former case should be im-
portad into the present action.
The suggestion of the learned counsel was acted upon,
and the jury returned a similar verdict, which was entered
on the proceedings.

ADELPIII THEAME.—On the occasion of the
benefit of Mr. Anson, the respected treasurer of the Royal
Adelphi Theatre, Miss May Holt, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Clarence Holt, made her first appearance in England
—having only performed once before, when a mere child,
during the Australian tour of her parents. She has an ex-
cellent voice, and sang delightfully—the audience being
demonstrative in their approval, as well as upon the appear-
ance of Mr. and Mrs. C. Holt, who acted with their accus-
tomed ability. •

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.--.The season commences
to-morrow evening with Shakspere's "King John" and
"Comedy of Errors." "King John" will be supported in
the principal characters by Mr. Phelps as King John, Mr.
Barry Sullivan as Falconbridge, Mr. T. Swinburno as
Hubert Master Percy Roselle as Prince Arthur, and Mrs.
_ .

Hermann Vezin as Lady Constance. In the " Comedy of
Errors"--an abridgment of course—Messrs. Henry and
Charles Webb will sustain the parts of the two Dromios.
At the conclusion of the tragedy the National Anthem will
be sung, Madame Jenny Bauer, Miss Poole, Messrs. Henri
Drayton, and W. H. Harrison taking the solos. Mr. F. B.
Chatterton's new management could hardly be inaugurated
with fairer prospects.

The Famine in. India.

A telegram of the 20thult. in the Bombay Times
says :_‘, The total sum collected in Calcutta for the
relief of the prevailing famine is 70,000 rs. Accoul:
modation is required for 2,000 sick people, 1,000 of
whom already fill the hospitals. [he native cow'
muuity of Calcutta have agreed to feed 8,000 of
the distressed for two months, but funds will have
to be provided to protect the rest. The committee
makes a general appeal to the public ; but is thank'
fill to Bombay for the contributions already there
collected."

The Bombay Times of August 23, commenting
upon the latest accounts, says :
" The alarming proportions assumed by the dis"
tress in Bengal show how miserably Government
failed to apprehend the true state of affairs wiles,
time after time, official intimation was given that
the resources at the disposal of the Board of Revenue
were amply sufficient to provide for the famine"
stricken districts. As early as October last, the
parched appearance presented by rice fields arid
plains which at that season of the year used to smile
with ripening grain, excited in various quarters sere'
ous apprehensions of an approaching famine. 111
December it was:generally known that the crops in
Orissa, usually a grain-exporting country, were a°
but a total failure ; and yet the revenue officials whs,
ought to have been the first to know the an
a"
of the district seem not to have realised the
extent of the misfortune. Thus the circle was
allowed to widen, and now the cry of distress as"
tends even from Chumparun in the extreme
north-west of Bengal as far as Bellary in Madras.
For a time the country districts only suffere"'
as the ignorance and want of enterprise, ells;
racteristic of the rural Hindoo, at first le'
many to lie down in dumb despair ; but now that
chance of relief even at a great distance has been
offered, and their constitutional apathy overcome,
hundreds of gaunt, emaciated, human forms are
flocking daily into Calcutta ; and few can predict
how long the calamity may be limited to famine, or
how soon a raging pestilence may follow in ,its
train. In some places, indeed, cholera has already
broken out, and the mortality has been very great-
To guard against this last danger, the starving mwt
titudes are being intercepted as much as possible a,
suitable localities, and centres of relief establisko
in the suffering districts ; yet in spite of this the
arrivals in Calcutta are said to amount to as many
as 200 a day, while in the city and its suburbs net
i
less than from twenty to thirty thousand are fed
from the hand of charity alone. It is also ealce
lated that in Pooree 1,543 persona are at present
daily relieved ; in CIAO,* 1,960; Balasore, 16,994;
Midnapore, 9,667 ; Mauubboom, 1,900; Nuddea'
3,111; Gya, 1,699 ; Sarun, 5,609 ; and in Tirhet
6,361. The measures of relief spontaneously
adopted by the inhabitants of Calcutta have been
most extensive and well considered. Many of thee
richer Baboos and certain European gentlemen ka!
joined in establishing unnochuttros, or almshouses'
where hundreds of the destitute are housed, clothed
and fed. The zeal and enthusiasm of the Polleo
and municipal authorities, too, have been meat
praiseworthy, and the measures organised have bean
tolerably effective. An influential committee has
to
been formed, with the commissioner of police at Ise
head, whose plan of relief is, to clothe and I°o
the poor ; to provide work for the ablebodied
b ,`e
feed all surplus paupers whose wants may not
met by native charities ; to supply additional a
commodation ; and to maintain a foundling
pital for the support of orphans whose parents 03;0
be dead or have deserted them. Subscriptions to
amount of rs. 20,000 have already been received'
and more money is sure to pour in as the relief
extended. Some rs. 10,000 have already been feoi
warded from Bombay; and now that the led
government there has appointed a committee 34
made an appeal to the public, this sumwill no MI;
soon be doubled many times over. In the Mesh,
time the fall of rain has been very general threngio
out Bengal, and the early harvest has begst!„ts,
Cuttack, Midnapore, Nuddea, and other distrwo

being good, and matters looking more hopeful' the
induce agriculturists and labourers to return tsad
famine districts, aid is given them on the waY'with
public works, cana ls, &c., are being proceeded the
so as to afford employment. His Excelleneithat
Viceroy, in a resolution recently passed, stated 0o
he has no objection to yet further aid being
of the
at once to push on with vigour the works the
Irrigation Canal which is being executed along the
Oolooabariah and Midnapore road, provideaeo.
labour of the sufferers from the famine is alone felt,
ployed. Yet great disappointment is just 11°,4
because of its being discovered that the t%%t othe
lakhs set aside by the supreme government at
request of Sir Cecil Beadon is not, as was suPPli to
to be distributed in relief, but that sum is Ineure"olil
be advanced for the purchase of rice that will 'that

in six weeks most of the distress will be °lief' hen
Thethen it remains to be seen what steps will be t Die
to prevent the return of a like visitation: into
appointment of a royal commission to imp;

the causes of this famine might prove to be

Liverpool Cotton Market. —This Day.

The market steady, on receipt of American news.
Sales, probably 1,000 bales.

A woman named Piquet, a farm servant, has just
been tried at Arras for the murder of her mistress at
Colembert. The accused was of a violent temper,
and was said to be on intimate terms with her mas-
ter. The mistress was also known to be afraid of
the servant, and to not dare to give her any orders.
The woman Piquet had been seen near the spot at
the period of the crime, and traces of blood were
found on her clothes. She was declared by the jury
guilty of homicide, and condemned to 20 years' hard
labour.
