THE BOMBAY _MAIL.

By the arrival of the Bombay mail we have, re-
ceived our private correspondence and files of papers
from Bombay to the 12th of March, and from Cal-
cutta to the 3d of March.

We take the following from the Bombay Gazette
of the 12th of March :

"The overland mail of the 4th February arrived
here on the evening of Wednesday, the 27th ult.
The important news from America has created eon-
siderable excitement in the cotton interest through-
out the country, and has directed special attention
to the subject of its more extensive cultivation. A
new impulse has been given to the production of
this important raw material, and many scheines
are being undertaken with a view to render England
less dependent on America for the supply of: it.
We have no doubt there will be a rapid and study
increase in the quantity, and improvement in!the
quality, of this staple produced and exported: for
the English market. Manchester may preserve'her
equanimity, India will feed the half-million of Lan-
cashire who live by cotton, and keep the 3.10,000
looms and 28,000,000 spindles in that country in
motion. The following action , has been taken by
the Government of India on the subject :

ITALY.

The following letter, published by the Campana
della Ganda of Palermo, is addressed by Garibaldi
to the Director of the Military Institute of Sicily :
" Caprera, 15th March.
"Dear Director,—l am deeply grateful to you
for the kind remembrance you have retained of me,
and for your civilities. Be kind enough to remem-
ber me most affectionately to my dear young com-
panions of the Institute. Tell them that Italy must
be master from Istria to Marchino (the southern
extremity of Sicily), and that we old men rely on
the support of their young and valorous arms to
complete the expulsion of the Germanic rulers.
" GARIBALDI."
A letter from Rome, in the Gazette du Midi,
says:

" The police have expelled about 20 families from
this city, and among them that of Troubelzkoy,
who are relatives of Count de 11Iorny, and who were
obliged to leave after only four days' stay. In
leaving, the Princess de Troubelzkoy said gaily to
the keeper of the hotel at which she had been stop-
ping. ' Adieu! But we shall soon return to Rome
with the Piedmontese, and as your accommodation
is good, we will again put up at your house! "

period of five years' service expired on the 20th ult.,
will remain at the dockyard some days longer to
assist Captain Fanshawe in his duties.
The ;Etna, 16, floating battery, 200 lorse power,
having been towed up from the steam reserve ordi-
nary at Chatham, and placed along the sheer hulk
opposite Chatham dockyard, commenced shipping
her armament yesterday, the guns being sent on
board from the gun wharf. Her armament will be
the same an the floating battery Thunderbolt, viz.,
16 68-pounders, each of 95cwt. The Thunderbolt,
having completed her armament, has been removed
from the sheer hulk, and is now lashed alongside
the Hussar target ship, in Chatham harbour, in
readiness to be towed round to the entrance to the
Thames, where the iEtna and Thunderbolt are both
to be stationed.

The Admiralty transport Aid, in No. 2 dock at
Chatham, has had the whole of her copper stripped
off and a considerable portion of her planking re-
moved, in order that she may undergo a thorough
repair. Several of her timbers are found to be
very old and decayed. Although she is some-
what strained, she has not received such severe in-
juries as was at first feared from her running ashore
on the Sussex coast.

Mill-wall, Poplar, a respectable firm that has existed for
about a century. The liabilities are stated at nearly £40,000,

SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL .6, 1861,

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

BOW-STREET.

THE COMMERCIAL BANK FRAIMS.—The prisoners
Durdan and Holcroft, in accordance with the remand,
were placed at the bar again this morning, but the appear-
ance of the prisoners was merely formal, as the magistrate
has not power to remand a prisoner for a longer period than
eight days at a time. It is expected that all the charges
will bo completed next week. The trial, on the committal
of the prisoner to the Old Bailey, will not take place until
the May sessions of the Central Criminal Court.

TIIE ROAD MURDER.

There is now no room to hope that this myste-
rious crime will be discovered—at any rate, through
ordinary means. The small n amber of persons
who composed the household on the fatal night are
fast being separated. Elizabeth Gough is at her
home in the suburbs of London, Miss Constance
Kent is on the point of leaving for a school in
France, her brother
!family
is already from home,
and the rest of the family will leave Road Hill
Rouse in a day or two, whither is not generally
known; but it is believed they intend travelling
for some time. The contents of the now celebrated
house will shortly be offered for public sale, and
doubtless the public will avail themselves of the
privileges of an auction day to gratify a curiosity
so much felt to view the scene of the mysterious
murder. The cot, from which the ill-fated child
was taken tu his cruel death, will not be sold. The
house and grounds are for sale, but there does not
seem to be much disposition on the part of any one
to occupy so famous a residence. As to the crime
itself, we believe it is now given up as being among
the things which are too mysterious to be inquired
into.

1-1 E PRESENT DISTRESS IN TRADE
fury explained in J. GROSSMITH'S
" GOVERNMENT UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES."
The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex
perienced 1860. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in bus

LIFE DEPARTMENT.

The Reserve in this Department has been increased by the
addition of upwards of £58,000 in the year 1860 alone. The
system of Bonuseq is simple, ,nvolving no possible liability
of partnership ; liberal, guaranteeing a more than average
amount of benefit ; satisfying, because known at the date of
the Insurance, and therefore free from disappointment, un-
certainty, and doubt. The arrangements in other respects
are intended to render the Polices of THE LrVERPOOL AND
LONDON perfect securities in the hands of third parties. The
Annual Premiums exceed £110,000; the accumulated reserve
is R 707,000,
London, England, 1861-04-06

perhaps of as much importance as any-
thing, she could send saw-gins, and skilled
hands with them to clean and pack the
cotton and to provide for its clean transmission by
the rude native conveyances, it seems to be certain
,it,A; hula could supply an amount of cotton, and
probably at a price, too, which would soon settle
the question of American supply, perhaps, of Ame-
rican slavery., A better time than the present could
hardly be. The new Confederation is devising
means to pay their Governmental expenses by an
export tax on cotton. They " guess" that so, Eng-
land and Europe will pay their taxes. But that
will only be on the supposition that we have no

other market. If we can get cotton cheaper from
India, we shall bring down their prices to a pro-
bably much lower figure than they were at, before
they laid on their ten per cent.
Manchester can well bfford to do something
towards making Indio. its chief source of supply
for raw cotton, for India is already the best cus-
tomer of Manchester for the manufactured article.

POLAND.

A communication from Cracow has the follow-
ing :---

"The agitation prevalent here, owing to the
elections and the events at Warsaw, is unfortunately
increased by the despotic proceedings of ,M. Pau-
mann, Director of the Police :—This official, well
known for his administration at Prague, manages
affairs in a most deplorable manner. After seizing
the Czas of the 28th, he ordered the police to close
the printing office on the following day, which they
did, but previously broke up all the articles com-
posed, upset the compositors' cases, and threw the
whole establishment into disorder. The number
ready to appear on that day was also seized. It is
impossible that this man should act according to
the wishes of the Government, for his inopportune
violence might be attended with the most serious
consequences. M. Kirschmeger, and two other
notable citizens of the town, have left this morning
for Vienna, to inform the Government of what is
taking place."

ON THE SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT of
STRICTURES of the URETHRA; showing why they
so often appear Incurable, when in reality they might be
removed by the most simple means.
By F. B. COURTENAY, M.R.C.S.E.,
And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the
Cure of Strictures of the Urethra.

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special
attention has been directed, through a long professional life,
to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases
which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his
great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various
binds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which
their management is founded. By his systematic management
an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is
attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can
most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuab.
contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and
ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject
to stricture."—Medical Circular.

At a meeting of the creditors of the Preston Old
Bank (Messrs. Pedder andeo.) on Saturday, which slopped
on the 10th inst., the debts were stated LA £638,827, and the
assets were estimated to yield 17s in the pound. It was
shown for a long period there had been scarcely any book-
`keeping, and that the private expenditure of the partners,
chiefly in additions and improvements to their estates, had
been enormous. All parties, however, expressed their horror
of the existing bankruptcy laws, and it was unanimously
agreed that the liquidation should take place under private
inspection.
Oersted's great experiment, step by step, has been deve-
loped until the latest improvements have given us the un-

STRAND THEATRE.

Last night a new piece, entitled " The Old Story," by
11. J. Byron, was proluced here with great success. A
rich old bachelor, to test the sincerity of his friends, re-
ports himself utterly ruined, and, of course, finds out the
real sentiments of his relatives. The disinterested are
rewarded and the selfish disappointed. Mr. Clark and Miss
Fenny Josephs represented the principal parts with great
effect. The house was very fashionably attended,

THE. TEA DUTIES.—Mr. Horsfall's amendment

is to strike out the word " tea" in the place in which it at
present stands in the resolutions, and to insert words con-
tinuing the war duty of ls. sd. per lb. to the Ist of October
only, after which it is to fall to Is. per lb. As the consump-
tion of tea is about 77,000,0001 b. per annum, the effect of
this remission on the finance of the year would in the first
instance, and allowing for no increase of consumption, be
£820,000; but the increase of consumption consequent on
the remission of duty will of course materially reduce this
loss.

The Earl and Countess of Cawdor arrived in town
last evening from the Continent, for the season.

The Countess Dowager of Clare has arrived at
Claridge's Hotel from Norwood.

Viscount and Viscountess Boyle have taken Lord
Wharncliffe's house, in Curzon-street, for the season.
His Excellency the Persian Ambassador and suite
have returned to Claridge's Hotel from Paris.
THE HON. MRS. YELYERTON.—We hear that
wee-were in error when we stated en Saturday that Mrs.
Yetverton was staying with her solicitor at an hotel in this
city. She arrived it is true towards the close of last week
in tlxis city, but she was the guest of a gentleman at Long-
sight. Her solicitor and counsel were also here for the
purpc se of attending a commission of Major Yelverton.
Mee. Telverton we believe left Manchester yesterday for
Hull,. on her way to Whitland Abbey, the seat of the Hon.
H. Velverton, uncle of the Major. The unfortunate lady
and 12 er friends appear very confident as to the decision
likely t, o be given at Dublin in the course of May or June,
by the fu 'll Court of Judges, before whom the exceptions
taken on the recent trial will be argued. On Saturday,
Mrs. Yelv,7-rton honoured Mr. Alfred Brothers by a visit to
his studio St. Ann's-square.—Manchester Guardian.

SINGULAR RECOVERY OF £3OO.

On Saturday afternoon, about two 'clock, one of
the clerks in the service of Messrs. Ashurst, the
solicitors of the Old Jewry, went to Messrs. Smith
and Payne's Bank to procure change for a cheque
for £3OO, which he received all in notes, with the
exception of five sovereigns, all of which he placed
in an envelope, put into his pocket, and went
straight back to Old Jewry. By some means,
which he was unable to explain, when he arrived
there he found the envelope and its contents had
vanished. He was at first under the impression that
he had been robbed, as a great many such robberies
are being constantly committed by persoenstllu;okotinhnloegy:
about banking-houses for that purpose, and on giving
information to the police he was informed that such
was most probably the case, and if so there was not

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT•

HOUSE OF LORDS—YESTERDAY.
The LORD CUANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
at tve o'clock.

The Earl of HARRINGTON gave notice that on Fri.
day he should ask a question relative to the iron railways
that are at present being laid down in the streets of the

istThe Earl of MALMESBURY rose to ask the question

relative to the state of affairs in America.
lordships had no doubt seen the account of what
14)84 taken place, and it was deplorable that such an out-
break should have occurred. That war would no doubt
vltend over the whole country, and none would be greater
staerers than England. It was most fortunate that no blood
had yet been shed, and he could not but believe that her
Majesty's Government had done their utmost to obviate the
Peat calamity that had befallen America. He therefore
caked what steps had been taken by the British Government
prevent war, and what hopes were entertained that such
'tort would be successful ?
Lord WODEHOITSE could not but agree with the noble
earl in his expressions of regret at the civil war that had
broken out in America. Her Majesty's Government, after
much consideration, determined that it was not advisable for
this
country to obtrude advice upon the Government of the
united
States. (Cheers.) The instructions that had been
evert to Lord Lyons, therefore, was to express on every suit-
able occasion the wish of her Majesty's Government that
lg°0(1 understanding could be brought about between the
Northern and Southern States, but at the same time care-
-4alll' to avoid giving, either officially or non-officially, any
advice that might wound the just susceptibilities of the
uierican Government. With respect to the latter part of
e noble lord's question, he could state that her Majesty's
vernraent had net been in correspondence with any
r 0
reign government on the subject.

THE ARMY.

The detachment of Royal Artillery, under the
command of Lieut. Thurlow, stationed at Coalhouse-
point, three miles below Gravesend, has received
orders to proceed with the dismantling of the forts
now that the steam fioating battery iEtna, 16, has
taken up her position off the point.
The authorities connected with the War Depart-
ment have decided on supplying most of the forti •
fications in the Chatham district with 100-pounder
Armstrong guns, which will be mounted at the
various batteries during the present year. It is
iatended at first only to supply the Armstrong guns
to those works on which 68-pounder guns are at
present mounted, or are to be mounted, as the tra-
versing platforms for that description of ordnance
ean thus be made
available. Tile positions on which
the Armstrongs will be placed are to be determined
by the officers commanding Royal Artillery and
commanding Royal Engineers.

"Curtis on Manhood.—This is a truly valuable work, and

"The author has conferred a great boon by publishing this
little work, in which is described the source of those diseases
which produce decline in youth or more frequently premature
old age. —"Daily Telegraph," March 27,1856.
" This work, which for twenty years has stood the test of
professional criticism and empirical hostilit3", treats in aplain
and sympathising manner on the various disqualifications
and impediments arising from nervous excitement and de-
bility ; and to invalids suffering from youthful errors and
excesses it will be found valuable and useful."—Record.
