THE NAVIGATION OF THE RIVERS
OF INDIA.

The mail just arrived from India brings ad-vices
of the arrival there of the twelve vessels despatched
from Liverpool in August last by the Oriental
Inland Steam Company. That such vessels are
greatly needed appears very clearly from the whole
tenor of the advices from India ; and the Times,
in some recent leading articles, has directed public
attention to this enterprise as one of the most
promising of the present day. The steam vessels
at present plying in India, the Indian correspon-
dent of the Times states, are paying a divi-
dend of 100 per cent., and a further supply of
vessels is anxiously expected. The vessels
which the Oriental Inland Steam Company has
already in India, and those which it has now in
preparation, will do something to alleviate this
want ; and the company, we see, has issued inti-
mations that is about to double its capital. With
the subsidy from the Indian Government which it
has already secured; with the grants of land and
other privileges it has already obtained ; with the
status it has acquired ; the capacity it has mani-
fested, and the intrinsic merits of the undertaking
upon which it is engaged, the anticipation of a
brilliant future for this company is a pretty safe
augury, and we are not therefore surprised that it
is obtaining so large a share of public attention.

THE STADE DUES.

Mr. CLAY asked the Under- Secretaryfor Foreign Affairs
what progress had been made in the negotiations for the
relief of the ships of this country from the Stade dues ?
Mr. S. FITZGERALD said it was impassible for him to
give a satisfactory answer to the question. In compliance
with the recommendation of the committee of last session
negotiations had been entered into on the subject, and notice
had been given for the termination of the treaty. The ques-
tion was one of great difficulty, but the Government had
given and were giving serious attention to it.

GALWAY.

On Friday a public meeting of Mr. Lever's
friends was held at the Galway Town Court-house,
which was denely thronged.
The Rev. Father DALY addressed the meeting,
referring at great length to Mr. Lever's claims on
the electors, and especially to his exertions to pro-
mote a packet station at Galway. " Let me tell
you," said the reverend orator, " let me tell you,
my friends and citizens of Galway, I have no poli-
tics now but my packet station. (Vehement and
prolonged cheering.) My politics now consist of
this—that if I vote for a man, it will be for that
man who will apply every energy of his mind, of
his heart, and soul, and body to effect, to complete,
and to establish firmly the Irish and American
packet station at Galway. (Immense cheering.)
And, moreover, if I vote for the man who will do
that—(A voice : " Sure there he is alongside your
reverence." Loud and hearty cheers for Mr. Lever)
—I will bind him, if he goes into the House of
Commons, to' vote for nothing that will peril my
packet station. (Cheers.) Repeal of the Union
was talked of, and I was a Repealer ; but Repeal of
the Union would not bring us money for our arti-
sans and labourers, and I sincerely believe it would
not bring us union among ourselves. (Hear, hear.)
It would leave us not only in the dangers of dis-
union among ourselves, but in the peril of dangers
from abroad--(hear, hear)—and the condition of
the poor working man would not be a bit the better
by it. (Hear, hear.) Not so by the establishment
of the packet station, for that would bring plenty
and comfort to the home and hearth of the poor
men of Galway, in whose behalf I have put myself
forward. (Great cheering.) There is a gentleman
standing by my side at this moment (pointing to
Mr. Samuelson, the Mayor of Hull, whose presence
was acknowledged by most cordial, genuine Irish
cheering), who is the contractor for building two
despatch express steamers that will be guaranteed
to make the passage from Galway to St. John's
in less than five days. (Immense cheering.) Oh,
again and again I repeat it, all shame upon you,
Limerick conspirators, who, in 1852, when Father
Daly was working like a horse to get an Irish
packet station, you raised your voice as enemies of
your country, but when I did not succeed at that
time you left what you now put forward as your
claims—you left them in abeyance from that day
to this—until you found that the sun of prosperity
was commencing to dawn upon Ireland, and that
it was about to rise, as, thank God, it has now
risen, over the bright waters of Galway bay. (Tre-
mendous cheering, the whole dense crowd in the
Court-house shouting vehemently for several
minutes.) Father Daly concluded by suggesting
that a deputation should wait on Sir Thomas Red-
ington, and request him to postpone for the present
his claims to the representation of Galway.
On the motion -of E. C. BURKE, Esq., a deputa-
tion was appointed to proceed at 911C0 from the

At yesterday's market there was a liberal supply of

maintained for all the best samples of malting. Oats were

LINLITHGOW.

The election of a representative for the. county of
Linlithgow, in room of Mr. George Dundas, who
has received a colonial appointment, took place on
Saturday. The formalities having been gone
through, Mr. Blair, of Avonton, proposed the Hon.
Charles Bailie, Lord Advocate of Scotland. Mr.
Walker, of Inneravon, seconded the nomination.
No other candidate having been proposed, the
sheriff called for a show of hands, and declared the
Lord Advocate elected as member of Parliament
for Linlithgowshire. The Lord Advocate, whose
appearance was greeted with loud cheers, thevd-
dressed the electors at some length. After refer-
ring to the circumstances which led to the present
government taking office, and the measures which
they carried through during the last session, he came
to the questions now occupying the public mind.
On that of peace or war he expressed his belief that
nothing would be left undone by the Government
to preserve the peace of Europe, and for this pur-
pose they proposed to put the navy in a more effi-
cient state than it was in at present. On the ques-
tion of reform the hon. and learned gentleman said
his lips to a certain extent were sealed. He could
not with propriety tell them the nature of the mea-
sure which the Government intended to introduce.
As to his own feelings on the subject, he would say
frankly that he never intended to be anything else
than what is known as a Conservative. In conclu-
sion, ho expressed his determination to perform the
duties devolving on him to the best of his ability.

fINE HUNDRED POUNDS REWARD ON
CONVICTION.
The fearful dangers to invalids from spurious imitations of
DU BARRY's invaluable HEALTH-RESTORING REVA •
LENTA ARABICA FOOD led to an investigation, and,
upon application in 1854 for protection, the High Court of
Chancery granted an injunction restraining Alfred Hooper
Nevin, and his agents, under a penalty of £5,000, from selling
any article resembling or being a colourable imitation of Du
Barry's Revalenta Arabica, of which we are the sole pro-
prietors. Now, therefore, this is to give notice that the above
reward will be paid, upon conviction, to any one giving infor-
mation of any breach of the injunction. An intelligent
public requires no admonition to shun all shopkeepers who
may attempt impositions. London : BARRY DU BARRY

AQUATICS.

ROYAL THAMES NATIONAL REGATTA.

This great aquatic meeting will take place on Monday
week, at Putney. The greatest interest is excited by the
four-oared race, open to the world, for 100 guineas. Already
there are entered for this race seven crews. The celebrated
Claspers, from Newcastle, a Manchester crew, two from
Hammersmith, one from Richmond, another from Hamp-
ton, the Friendly Trial, and Styles's crew. The entries
will not close until Wednesday next, and as a vast sum of
money is required to produce the regatta with becoming
éclat, it behoves those who wish to contribute to communi-
cate with Mr. Walmsley, the Secretary, 5, Victoria-street,
whose books are still open.

AUSTRIA.

The Vienna Gazette publishes the following
autograph letter from the Emperor of Austria to
Baron de Bach :—" My dear Baron de Bach,—l
have learned with emotion that the population of
all classes have zealously made voluntary contri-
butions towards the extraordinary expenses oc-
casioned by the war. The patriotic donations
made so abundantly ; the creation of corps of
volunteers, considerably facilitated by the gene-
ral co-operation of the people ; the readiness
everywhere manifested to supply horses to
the army ; the very useful measures adopted
by patriotic associations ; and, particularly,
the spontaneous co-operation in providing for the
wounded supply me with new proofs of the most
satisfactory kind of the abnegation and devoted-
ness of my faithful peoples, which are always
manifested in times of serious trial. I follow the
impulsion of my heart in expressing my warmest
gratitude to all those who have taken part in these
numerous acts of patriotism and philanthropy,
which I shall never forget ; and particularly to the
inhabitants of my faithful residence and capital of
Vienna, who have set a brilliant example. I charge
you to give general publicity to this manifestation
of my gratitude.

" FRANCIS JOSEPH.

" Luxenburg, 28th July."

PRUSSIA.

A Berlin letter, in the Swabian Mercury, says :
" The changes in the organisation of the army can-
not be made without the assent of the Chambers.
The following are the principal features of the re-
form which is in contemplation :—The obligation for
serving will be again imposed on every one. The
duration of active service is to be fixed at three
years, with one year in the reserve. The four
years following will form the first ban of the
landwehr, [which will not comprise men upwards
of 29 years of age, instead of 33, as at present, or
married men. The next four years will form the
2d ban of the landwehr, which will not go beyond
35 years. In this manner the defensive forces of
Prussia will be much increased, without throwing
any burden on the finances. With 17 millions of
inhabitants she may raise an army of 800,000
men."

THAMES

THIEVES AT RAILWAYS.-CAUTION TO TRAVELLERS.
—Edward Owen, a well-dressed and intelligent-looking
boy, was brought before Mr. Selfe, on remand, charged
with attempting to pick pockets at the Stepney junction-
station of the North London, Woolwich, and Blackwall
Railway.

Elisha Preston, a railway-constable, stated that, on the
arrival of a train from North Woolwich, on Thursday
evening, he saw the prisoner among the females who had
just alighted from the carriages, and watched him. He saw
him attempt to pick the pockets of several ladies, and took
him into custody as he was withdrawing his hand from the
pocket of a lady, who tapped him on the wrist with her
parasol and asked him what he meant. There were seve-
ral men about the prisoner who interfered with his arrest,
and endeavoured to rescue him. He was followed to the
station-house by the prisoner's confederates, and they
swore at him and gave him much trouble. He had seen the
prisoner on the platform before, and suspected him.
Copping, an intelligent detective officer, No. 379 K;Said-
the prisoner was one of the most expert pickpockets in
England, and had long been a traveller on railways in con-
junction with four men who covered his proceeding. The
make-up of the boy was admirable, and people always took
him for a school boy coming home for a holiday, or on his
way to school, and he always carried an extra coat or cloak
over his arm.

THE BUILDERS' STRIKE.

We are sure we only express the feelings of all
sincere and enlightened friends both of masters
and men, when we give utterance to our earnest
wish that something could be done to adjust the
differences between the two classes. Their inte-
rests are identically the same, and sooner or later
they must come together again in the same relation
to each other as beforo. Surely then it would be
infinitely better that an arrangement could be come
to now, before irreparable mischief has been done
both to masters arid men. Can no one, equally the
friend of both classes, tender his kind offices ? If
so, he surely will not have to appeal to either class
in vain. We believe there are faults on both sides;
but as we wish to heal, not to widen the existing
breach, we will not refer to the mistakes made by
either party. Let each see whether some conee;-
sion cannot be made to the other. We have great
hopes that some earnest and enlightened mediator
between the employers and employed will come on
the stage without delay ; and if so, all may yet be
speedily and satisfactorily arranged.—Morning
Advertiser.

EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE BY

NICOTINE.

Yesterday evening a long inquiry took place at
the Bedford Hotel, Upper King-street, Bedford-
square, before Mr. Wakley, coroner for "West Mid-
dlesex, touching the death of Mr. John Henry
Herban, aged 42, which was occasioned by his
swallowing nicotine, or essence of tobacco, a deadly
poison, uner circumstances of a very extraordinary
and lamentable nature.

Frederick Albert Blake, an intelligent and ac-
tive officer, of St. George, Bloomsbury, deposed
that about nine o'clock on Tuesday morning he was
passing through Upper King-street, Bedford-
square, when he heard screams from the residence
of the deceased, who was the proprietor of an hotel,
as also a wine merchant. On entering the house
he met Mrs. Herban, who was on the floor scream•
ing, and incapable of answering any questions put
to her. Some of the domestics explained the cause
of what he witnessed by taking him upstairs, when
he discovered the deceased on the floor of his cham-
ber ; he appeared lifeless. He (witness) ran off for
Mr. Berrington, a surgeon residing in Holborn,
who promptly attended.
Mr. Wakley said that the conduct of Blake Nv.,
highly praiseworthy. He (Blake) was one of the
best officers he had. •
The widow of the deceased, who was so deeply
affected that she was obliged to be supported into
the room by Blake, gave evidence that her late
husband had been in a low despcnding way lb]
some months past, in consequence of severe losse
in several speculations connected with railway
companies.
By the Coroner—She was not aware that he had
nicotine in his possession. He had not threatened
to destroy himself. He was a good husband and
father, and of moral habits.
Mr. Berrington said he had made a post morten:
examination, and ascertained that death was caused
by nicotine. It was the second instance of self
destruction' by the said deadly poison ur on record.
It caused death instantaneously..
. Verdict, temporary insanity.

LITERATURE.

The Semi-Detached House. Edited by Lady
Theresa Lewis. Bentley.

This is a charming little story that abounds in
sparkling dialogue and amusing adventures, and
whose characters are admirably drawn. There is
nothing dull or commonplace in any part of the
book, it is a simple tale that is pleasingly told, and
yet while it professes nothing it may serve to im-
part one or two lessons to those who have need to
learn. We find Lady Chester, at first giddy and
thoughtless, gradually acquiring a better sense of
what was due to her friends and the knowledge of
higher motives in life than mere amusement. She
arrived at her new villa full of fancies, but as time
passed on, and she became acquainted with the new
neighbours she had so despised, she discovered
their good qualities, and strove to be of service to
them. There is great knowledge of character
manifested in this sketch of life. We meet with
some excellent portraits. Mrs. Hopkinson, in par-
ticular, is naturally drawn ; it is too often the habit
with novelists to describe her style as essentially
vulgar, with no redeeming points ; but this writer
has shown more discernment in representing her as
uneducated and commonplace, yet possessed of a
kind heart and a clear bead. By obeying the dic-
tates of her strong sense, and following the im-
pulse of her good nature, she never went far astray,
and was welcome to the society of those of
refinement and high breeding, who could never
tolerate the pretentiousness and absurdities
of Baroness Moses. The career of these wily
speculators is rather a good point in the
story. It is satisfactory to find that Rachel escapes
from their clutches, though her crafty uncle has
laid a snare for her, and tries with the utmost or
his cunning dexterity to entrap her. The gentle
and gracious manners of Blanche and Aileen, are
agreeably described, and afford a refreshing con-
trast to the want of taste in some, and deficiency
of culture in others. Blanche, who is more promi-
nently brought forward, is a delightful person,
fresh, and uncontaminated with the contact with
the world of fashion, of which she was a brilliant
ornament. Her only faults proceed from want of
thought, and it is very gratifying to find that being
called upon to act more for herself than she had ever
been before, in consequence of her husband's
absence, her innate advantages of disposition be-
came matured and perfected, while much that was
frivolous and flighty passed away. Lord Chester,
the little that is seen of him, attracts by his dash-
ing, spirited demeanour, while Captain Hopkinson
is a good specimen of a British seaman. With its
superior talent in delineation of character, with
the life and spirit infused into its pages, and with
the natural, easy style that pervades its narration,
this story has every chance of meeting with suc-
cess and becoming a general favourite. It may be
confidently recommended to all who desire an
hour's amusement in the perusal of a delightful
me.

EDUCATION IN IRELAND.

Lord CLONCARTY asked whether, it was the intention
of the Government to propose any, change in, the system of
national education at present in operation in Ireland, with
a view to the relief of those who object to avail themselves
of it. The noble lord said he, had heard it rumoured that
there was to be a commission to inquire,,but he looked upon
such a proceeding as a tub thrown out to catch a whale.
There was io lack of information on the subject to enable
the Government to come to some decision on the point.
Earl GRANVILLE said it was not, intended to issue a
commission, as, such a course was totally mineces-
sary. As to the exact time when a measure would
be introduced, he could only say that the Secretary
for Ireland was fully alive to the importance of
the question, and would do all he could to prepare a bill on
the subject, but he could not give the, noble lord any dis-
tinct pledge when such bill would be produced.
After a few words from the Eail of Donoughmore, Lord
Dungannon, and the Earl of Leitrim, the subject dropped.
The Westminster New Bridge Bill, and the Militia ,Ballot
Suspension Bill, pissed t'irough committee ; the:Military
Savings' Bank Bill was read a third time ; the Imprison-
ment for Small Debts Bill, the Queen's Remembrance':
Bill, the County Cess (Ireland) Bill, the University of
Scotland Bill, Manufactures (Ireland) Bill, the Constabu-
lary Force (Ireland) Bill, and the Dwellings for Labouring
Classes (Ireland) Bill, passed through committee. •
The Local Government Supplemental Bill, the Colonial
Legislatures Power of Repeal:Bill, the Bermuda Govern-
ment Bill, the Railway Companies Arbitration Bill, the
Marriages (Lisbon) Bill, and the Charitable Trusts Acts
Continuance Bill were severally read a third time
.and
passed.

The Law. Ascertahunents Faciliiies Billwas read a second
me.

The Commons Amendments to the Vexatious Indict-
ments Bill wereagreed to.
Their lordships then adjourned.
