THE NEWS FROM INDIA.

The nest Indian telegraph may be looked for on
the 28th of August at the late-ir. The vessel will
be the Nubia, a fast screw steamer, and, as the
recent loss of the Erin will cause a b'ank in the
China mail, the possibility of a detention at Galle,
waiting for its arrival, will be avoided.

THE TWELFTH Or AUGUST.—This is the great day on
the moors, and great has been the array of gamekeepers,
&c., and dogs that have arrived at the Perth station on,
their way to the north for some days past. The yelping
and howling of the dogs confined in all the trains going
in this direction may be music to the sportsmen, but
must be rather annoying to ladies and gentlemen not in-
clined to the pleasures of the chase. Notwithstanding
wo have seen various statements to the contrary by inte-
rested parties, we are certain from the information we
have received that the grouse will be found this year
deficient in the higher moors of Perthshire. The lower
grounds arc reported to be better stocked, Many a
sportsman, who looked forward with much pleasure to
having his foot on the heather to-day, is at this moment
ploughing his way to India. Sic transit gloria mundi.

FOGS IN THE CHAN/TEL.—The density and sudden ap-
pearance and disappearance of the fogs in the Channel
are remarkable. On Wednesday night the Channel
Island mail packet Courier could not enter the Solent
an account of a fog. The commander of the Courier,
Capt. Goodridge, knowing he must be near the Needles
(the rocks at the mouth of the Solent), got into a boat
to explore his precise whereabouts. He soon came to
the outer Needle rock, where the lighthouse is being
erected. He spoke to the workmen, who live upon the
rock, and desired them to knock their crowbars toge-
ther, so that he might be guided by the sound through
the narrow entrance of the Solent. By this means he
got through safely. About one hour after this the Bra-
zilian mail packet Avon arrived off the Needles, and
the fog was then sufficiently cleared away for her to enter,
although her signals were invisible at the Hurst Castle
telegraph station. When the Needles lighthouse is com-
pleted, the difficulties of the entrance to the Solent by
fogs will scarcely exist.
FATAL ACCIDENT ON THENORTH LONDON RAILWAY.—
On Wednesday Mr. Baker, the coroner, held an inquiry
at the Three Compasses Tavern, Dalston, on the body of
Mr. Thomas Martin, a chemist, Upper Claptou. From
the evidence of Shaw, a porter at the Hackney station of
the North London Railway, it appeared that some two
minutes after the ten o'clock p.m, train had passed
through the station on Friday last, their attention was
attracted to faint crit s of " Oh, oh dear I" With lan-
terns the porters got on the line, and proceeded in the
direction of the cries, and on arriving some forty or fifty
yards from the station platform, they came up with a
gentleman (the deceased) who was lying on the line with
both lees broken and mutilated, resting on the metals.
Although in great agony he was perfectly sensible, and
explained to them how be met with the accident, saying
it was entirely his own fault, tbat finding the train
moving from the station he attempted to alight from the
carriage, but was thrown under the train. He was im-
mediately placed on a stretcher and conveyed to the
German Hospital at Dalston, where he expired on Sun-
day night last. The jury returned a verdict of "Acci-
dental Death."_
FIRES YESTERDAY. —Yesterday morning, about a
quarter to three o'clock, a fire broke out in the premises
belonging to Mr. G. West, cabinetmaker and uphols
sterer, carrying on business at No. 12, Queen's-row,
Turnham-green. The flames originated, from s?me
unknown cause, in the back factory, and they rapidly
extended to the front building. The engines
of the
parish and London Brigade were early in arriving,
but the flames could not be subdued until the
workshops at the back wore destroyed, and the
ground-floor and also the floor over were seriously
damaged by fire, &c. The occupier was insured in the
Monarch Fire-office, and the building was slur insured
in the Sun Fire office.—Yesterday morning, shortly
before four o'clock, a fire happened in the premises be-
longing to Mr. P. J. Matthews, tobacconist, No. 87,
Hackney-read. The discovery was made by a pohce-
officer of the N division, who noticed smoke issuing
from the ground-floor front. The Royal Society s es-
capes, and the engines of the parish and London Bri-
gade, were promptly in attendance, and eventually got
the fire extinguished, but 'tot until the whole of the
stock in trade was consumed, and the building severely
damaged, The building was insured in the Phoenix,
and the contents in the Sun fire-offices.—A fire likewise
took place yesterday morning about the same time in
the premises belonging to Mr. George Simpson, grocer
and cheesemouger, situate No. 20, Romney-terrace,

—The large number of emigrants who have recently re-
sorted to Toronto and Hamilton in Canada West, have
for the present reduced the demand for labourers and
mechanics at these places. Emigrants in want of em-
ployment are, therefore, recommended to proceed to the
country districts, and particularly to the Ottawa, and to
the Midland, Victoria, Newcastle, and Colborne dis-
tiles, by the way of Belleville, Trenton, Port Hope,
and Cobourg, rather than to the large towns.—A. C.
