was killed in the plains of Kerbalach by Chemar, the
General of Vezid, Prince of. Damascus, and his cow'
pLtitor for the
.I.balifat. On the eighth day of this
mourning the agony of the Iman is represented
in illuminated chapels erected in the streets. The
true believers curse his assassin and celebrate his merits
with the most hyperbolical praises. On the 10th del
the festival concludes with a procession known under
the name of the Gounds. The population attends in
crovvds, and each corporation carries on litters orns'
mental structure?, brilliantly illuminated with revolving
lights, which produce a very picturesque effect. These
Uounds are afterwards carried two miles outside the
town where their immersion in a lake puts an end to the
ceremony. This festival passed over in Pondicherry
with the greatest order, aithougla with three days Of
incessant noise."

CASUALTIES IN INDIA.

The information respecting the officers of the
Queen's service who have fallen in India since the
outbreak of the insurrection is so imperfect and in-
complete, and the uncertainty respecting the fate
of the officers of some of the Bengal regiments con-
tinues to be so great, that the following list is pro-
bably incorrect iu many particulars ; but it has bee❑
drawn up from, the best information obtainable,
and is more complete and accurate than any state-
ment previously published :

THE LATE I►OR1?IBLE MURDER AND

MUTILATION.

LATEST PARTICULARS—(TITIS DAY.)
We regret to find that the valuable information
contained in Mr. Richards's letter, published by us
yesterday, relative to this murder is tlicig!it of so
little importancethat the police appear to have thrown
it and its contents completely on one side. Their
efforts to discover the murder have been highly
lauded this morning by a contemporary, on the
ground, of an apparently official communication,
that the inquiries made by Mr. Superintendent
Durkin of the Glasgow police relative to Mr. H.
Patterson, result in their informing him that the
last time they saw Mr. Patterson was on the 15th
of September, and that they don't think that the
dress found in the carpet-bag corresponds with that
worn by him when they saw him. The London
police, therefore, it appears, take it for granted that
if Mr. Patterson was alive, and at Glasgow on the
15th ult., he could not have been at Stafford on the
29th. What more likely, when we consider the
ostentatious display of wealth indulged in by
Mr. Patterson at Stafford, that ho did the same
in London, which might have induced parties t o track
him till a convenient opportunity arose for sacri-
ficing the man for the sake of his money. It is
strange if Mr. H. Patteron be alive, and in Eng-
land, that be has not communicated by telegraph
with the police. Such stupid blundering as that
shown by the heads of the police in this case is
most disgraceful, and yet, strange to say, their
conduct has bean applauded where it ought to have
bean censured.
Acquiescing in the force of our remarks made
a few days since, and acting on our suggestion,
Professor Taylor has been instructed by the
Home-office to make an examination of the re-
mains, with the view of ascertaining the sex of
the person murdered, and, if possible; the cause of
death. The examination is not yet concluded.
The inquiries made this afternoon at Bow-street
station convince us that so long as the case remains
exclusively in the hands of that branch of the
police force the perpetrators of the murder will never
be discovered. For the sake of the force generally,
and especially those portions of it whose previous
conduct in matters of this kind have justly earned
for them the respect and admiration of the public,
we call npon them to throw all official delicacy
aside, and set their minds earnestly to work na
unravelling ~this most mysterious! affair, feeling
confident that if they do so, the matter will be
speedily set at rest by the apprehension (if it be a
murder) of the actual murderer or murderers.

ARRIVAL OF THE ROYAL CHARTER.

LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY.
The screw steam-ship Royal Charter Captain
Taylor, is off the port, with advices from Melbourne
23 days later than previously to band. She will
likely arrive early to-morrow morning. She has
118 passengers, and specie of the value of 360,0001.
She landed her mails at Queenstown.
We have received by the Omar Pitch% Sydney
papers to the 25th of July, being six days later than
those brought by the last overland mail. There
was no prospect whatever of a mail leaving there in
August.

The Australian Joint Stock Bank had declared a
dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum, and
increased their reserve fund to 16,0001.
The Australian Steam Navigation Company had
proposed to reduce their capital by writing off 51.
per share.

- Exchange on London had fallen to 2 per cent. in
consequence of the Australian sovereigns having
been declared a legal tender throughout all the
Australian colonies.

The government had decided to purchase all their
supplies in England, and had appointed Messrs.
Lloyd, Beilby and Co., of No. 2, Royal Exchange-
buildings, their agents for that purpose.
The Alfred had arrived from Liverpool, with im-
migrants.

Was concrete. A. mill I erected for Mr. Carter had a
base of 22 feet in diameter, but the foundation of the
chimney should have been stronger on account of its
greater solidity. Would prefer a concrete foundation
under all circumstances, whatever the nature of the soil.
Carter's tower has never given way ; it is about 60 feet
high ; concrete should not contain stones of greater Rise
than 2 inches cube. When s chimney is observed
giving way when noar eompletion,the proper way would
be, in my opinion, to rectify it or.take it down. Did zit
hear of any of the workmen refusing to go to work of
the day of the accident.
The inquest was again adjourned on Wednesday
evening till Monday next.
Mr. Leeman and Mr. Carter watched the proceedings
on behalf of Mr. Anderton, jun., proprietor of the
works ; lqr. Stead, on behalf of Mr. Wilde, who under-
took the rectification of the chimney ; and Mr. Dawlby,
on behalf of the widows of three of the deceased.

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.

A memorandum from the office of the Comman-
der-in-Chief states that the Military Secretary will
not have a "List" on Tuesday next.

The reinforcements for the 18th Royal Irish,
61st Light Infantry, 72d Highlanders, 83d, 86th,
and 98th Regiments, upwards of 200 men of all
ranks, will leave Chatham garrison to-morrow, and
embark at Gravesend on board the Salamanca for
India.

Yesterday the troops belonging to the 2d Battalion
at Chatham were amembled on the general parade-
ground at Chatham Barracks for the purpose of
hearing read the proceedings of a- district court-
martial for the trial of Sergeant Foord, of the 90th
Light Infantry, on a charge of drunkenness. The
sentence of the Court was read by Captain Roney,
the adjutant of the battalion, the prisoner being
reduoed to the rank and pay of a private. Imme-
diately after the sentence had been read, the senior
sergeant-major was directed to cut the "stripes" off
the prisoner's arm in the presence of the whole
battalion. The prisoner has been upwards of 20
years in the service, and had claimed his discharge
previous to the committal of the offence for which
he was tried.

The steamship Australasia, Captain Secalea, from
Portsmouth, with the head•quarters of the 68th
Regiment for India, arrived in Plymouth Sound
yesterday morning.

LORD PALMERSTOIV'S APPOIIVTMENTS.

Another and another still succeeds,
'Till one vast maggot fills the rotton cheese.

Mr. William Augustus Tollemache has been ap-
pointed by Lord Palmerston, with whom the patron-
age lay, to the vacant Treasurership of the Kent
County Courts. Mr. Tollemache is a cadet of the
noble house of Dysart. At the rate at which the
noble viscount now appropriates every vacancy at
his disposal to the aristocracy, their families, re-
tainers, and servants ;—at one time giving the
Stamp Distributorship of Manchester, worth 1,0001.
a year, to an Hon. Mr. Howard ; then the govern-
ment of Nova Scotia to Lord Mulgrave ; and now
a County Court Treasurership (7001. a year) to Mr.
Wm. Augustus Tollemache, there will scarcely be
a post left for his humbler and more subservient and
more easily satisfied followers. The conversion.of
the member for Grantham to Palmerstoriism at the
general election may, perhaps, account in some mea-
sure for this last appointment, which is as discredit-
able to Lord Palmerston personally as it is unsatis-
factory to the Liberal party. The late Mr. Coppock's
funeral, we may add, does not take place until
Saturday ; so that Lord Palmerston has lost no
time, and shown small delicacy in the affair ; but
the late Mr. Coppock was not connnected with any
noble house, and the feelings of his family are not,
therefore, of any concern to great people.—Daily
