London, England, 1857-09-15

LONDON, TUESDAY, SEPT. 15, 1857.

Other telegrams were last night received at the
Foreign-office, at the East India House, and from
the correspondents of some of our morning con-
temporaries. The public despatches; and some of
the others, will be found in another part of our
impression. They do not materially alter, al-
though they cast great additional light on, the
intelligence contained in The Sun of yesterday.
We know more now about the proceedings of
General HAVELOCK and his truly gallant band.
The telegram of yesterday only announced that
he had " defeated the rebels at Abipur-al-Gunge,
on the 29th and 30th of July, taking nearly all
their guns," and that " he expected to reach Luck-
now on the 31st July." The natural interpre•
tation of this obscure and confused statement
was, that the conflict of the 29th and 30th July
had taken place at Bithoor-al-Gunge, the strong-
hold of the miscreant NENA SAHIB, who was
pursued up to Bithoor by HAVELOCK. It now
appears that the cowardly assassin had
not ventured to meet the victorious troops, even
with all the advantages of an entrenched and for-
tified position. He had fled before them in dis-
may, and on the 17th July his Fort was occupied
without even an attempt at resistance. The san-
guinary ruffians who embrued their hands in the
blood of women and children would not dare to
nrset in fair fight armed men, although less than
one-fifth of their number, who were trebly armed
in the justice of their quarrel. Of course, the
fortress was completely destroyed, and no less than
la g MI% were captured, an important addition to
(Tr artillery, and a still greater loss to the rebels.
u thst occasion NBNA SAHIB escaped. But his
jufzum'" career was rapidly drawing to a close.
Ho could not Possibly hope to escape the avengers
of Mood—the ministers of a siern justice that
were tracking his footstep; and determined to
inflict exemplary justice on the most guilty of all
Who raised their felon bands against those whom
they were bouud to protect by every tie of honour
minly feeling. It is sail that after his flight
from Bithoor, lie destroyed his entire faintly and
then committei suicide. This is by n, means
justly be regarded as a
improbable, and it w'oull
nisaf.l act of retribution that would strike terror
ilfGe the whole body of the rebclg.
It was nearly a fortnight after the capture and
destruction of Bithoor that tl:c battles of the 29th
and 30th July were fought. Colonel NEILL had
Joined FrAvenocie on the 221 July, and it was at
13,1P•1r El Gunge, about 18 miles from Cawnpore,
ou ibe road to Lecknow, that they encountered
tb.e mutineers more than 10,000 strong, whom
they completely defeated and put to flight, taking
15 guns. This would make no less thin 28 cannon
captured from the enemy, a most important
achievement under the circumstances of the case.
It would seem also that another battle had-taken
place the following day, in which Hay.s.Loox had

1_11: R. HOWARD, Surgeon-Dentist, 52, Fleet-
Areet, has introduced an entirely new description of ARTI-
FICIAL TEETH ,flxed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so
perfectly resemble the nataral teeth as not to be distinguished from
he original by the closest observer; they will never change colour or
decay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used.
This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful
operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is
guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication; and that Mr.
Howard's improvement may be within the reach of the most econo-
mical, he has fixed the charges at the lowest scale possible. De-
cayed teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in mastlca-
tlon.-52, Fleet-street. At home from ten till five.

LEICESTER.

A meeting was held in the Guildhall, Leicester,
yesterday, conveyed by the Mayor (Mr. Joseph
Underwood) totake into consideration what means
should be adopted to alleviate the sufferings of our
fellow-countrymen in India. On the motion of
Mr. J. D. Harris, M.P., the Mayor was called to
the chair. Letters were read from Lord Howe, en-
closing a cheque for 501., and from Admiral Ar-
buthnot and Major Wollaston, each enclosing a
cheque for 5/. The first resolution was moved by
Mr. J. Harris, M.P., expressing deep sympathy
for the sufferings of our fellow-countrymen and
countrywomen in India. The resolution was se-
conded by the Rev. J. Dixon, and carried unani-
mously. The second resolution was moved by Dr.
Noble, to the effect that the meeting was anxious
to relieve the destitute condition of their country-
men in India, caused by a barbarian army, and for
that purpose a subscription be opened at the va-
rious banks in the town, and the amount so .col-
lected forwarded to the centralcominittee. A com-
mittee was then formed, consisting of Earl Howe,
the members for the borough, the Mayor, and the
principal inhabitants. Before the meeting sepa-
-1 rated the sum collected amounted to 2201.

EXETER.
At a meeting of the Town Council a few days ago,
the Mayor, Mr. W. Buckingham, stated that he
had received a letter from the Mayor of London,
asking the Council to co-operate in raising a fund.
for the sufferers in India. His worship further
stated that he had received encouragement from
several country gentlemen who were most anxious
to co-operate with the citizens. He need not say
that the feeling in this country was very strong in-
deed with regard to the disgraceful and atrocious
cruelties which had been perpetrated on persons of
all classes in India, among whom were a consider-
able number who had been rendered destitute, and
who had little or no claim upon the East India
Company for compensation. He suggested that a
public meeting of the citizens should be convened
for Friday next ; which suggestion the Council
re Wily adopted, and a resolution to that effect was
unanimously adopted.

A. MEAN AND DESPICABLE TlllEF.—Robert Newell,
an able-bodied follow, aged 22, was brought before Mr.
Yardley, charged with stealing the lunches of two men,
named Thomas Maynard, a cooper, and Cornelius Cor-
bett, a labourer.
Maynard saw the prisoner go into a shed on the
north quay, where the former had deposited his dinner,
consisting of bread and meat, and which he intended to
eat at 12 o'clock, the "lunch time" in the dock. The
prisoner was immediately captured, on which he said,
" Ta!“3 your dinner, and let me go." Oc searching
him, some bread ar.d butler belonging t 3 Corbett, which
he had deposited in another died, was found upon him.
Mr. John Payne, a dock constable, said, a great
many poor men, labourers in the dick had lost their food
iu the course of the last month, stud it was believed the
prisoner

prowling about the dock
provided themselves with a little
repast to eat in the middle of the day, and who could not
leave the dock until four in the afternoon.
The prisoner admitted his guilt and asked for mercy.
Mr. Yardley said the prisoner was a mean and despi-
cable thief, an ill conditioned lazy fellow, who would
steal and eat the food of the hard working men, instead
of earning it by his industry. He sentenced the prisoner
to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for one mouth.

VIOLENT WHIRLWIND NEAR DURHAM.

A whirlwind, of violence fortunately unknown
in this country, occurried in the early part of the
morning (between one and two o'clock) of Thurs-
day, the 3d inst., at a short distance north of this
city. Its effects appear to have been first noticed
in a field of Mr. Gilbert Wood's, near Plawsworth,
whete some sheaves of wheat were found, in the
course of the ensuing day, to be partly dispersed
about the field, and partly hurled into au adjoining
turnip field to distances exceeding 100 yards from
the spots in which they were st coding on the pre-
ceding evening. From Plawsworth its tortuous
course was marked by broken boughs, uprooted
corn, and other unequivocal symptoms of a tc rna,dr,
to Barras-hill, a farm house of Lord Durham's, situ-
ate to the east of SacriAon, where it appears to have
attained an amount of force and violence that can
scarcely be credited without personal inspection.
The farm house and buildings were in a great mea-
sure unroofed, the window glass instantaneously
forced into the rooms—the upper part of several
corn ricks, just stacked, dispersed in all directions
—some hedge-row timber, of fine growth, as well
as some single trees, scattered, and broken to pieces,
—and a track of about 80 yards iu width on the
west side of this hedga literally covered with broken
boughs and splinters. There appears, however, to
have been a lull in the centre of the whirlwind when
passing the hedge-row, as two or three fine trees
appeared but slightly injured, whilst for 20 or 30
yards on either side of them every tree was shat-
tered to pieces. From Barras-bill it might be
traced to Mr. T. Holmes's farmstead, to the east of
Witton Gilbert, where it unroofed a stable, and
tore up ~.some apple trees in the garden, passing,
however, without injury, a bed of cabbages adjoin.,
ing the roots of some lofty trees, bereft of their top
branches by the fury of the blast. On reaching'
the Browney River, near Witton, its violence seems
to. have been exhausted, and the utmost limit of its
ravages confined to a distance of four miles. The
passage over the Barras-hill farm appears to have
been almost momentary. Its approach awakened
one of the inmates, who compared it to the sound
of a thrashing machine in full motion. This was
succeeded by the crash of broken glass and falling
tiles, and followed by a profound silence, broken
on'y by a heavy fall of rain for a few minutes.
Thunder and vivid lightning were heard and ob-
served shortly before the occurrence of the pheno,
menon, which was doublers of electric origin, and
—had it occurred in the day time—would undoub-
tedly have been the object of much more observa-
tion and wonder than have resulted from its occur-
rence in the dead hour of night.—Durham Adver-
tiser.

CRIMINAL COURT —(This Day.)

OLD COURT.
(Before the I4corder )

The Court having to wait for the arrival of a juryman
in the case of Edward Hastings, charged with wilful and
corrupt perjury, which commenced yesterday,
John Llewellyn Griffiths, 30 years of age, clerk to
Messrs. John Forster Porter and Co., was placed at the
bar and pleaded guilty to embezzling and stealing the
several sums of 121. 55., 401, 84/. 6;., 91., 131. ls.,
and 151. 114., the moneys of his empl )yers.
Mr. Sleigh, who appeared for the prosecution, said
that the prisoner had been upwards of ten years in
the prosecutor's employ, and as he bad exhibited
all the coalition possible since the discovery of his de-
falcations, he (Mr. Sleigh) was not instructed to state
anything to aggravate the charge. The , prisoner's em-
ployers had no doubt been great sufferers by his
conduct.

The prisoner, a very respectable looking man, when
asked if be tiad anything to say in mitigation of punish,4
ment, said he could only throw himself on the mercy of
the Court.

The learned Rec)rder, in passing sentence, said that
the prisoner had been placed in a situation of confidence,
which he had taken arivantage of to plunder his em-
ployers to a considerable extent. The indictment to
which he had pleaded guilty contained charges of em-
bezzlement amounting to upwards of 1001., and there
was every reason to believe that those charges were bat
a few of a long series of acts of a similar character. lie
sentenced him to four years penal sertitudo.

THE OFFICIAL ASSIGNEE.

-----
believe that it is not easy to exaggerate the importance
of this office. I know, however, that a very general
opinion prevails that the expeuae of this officer presses too
heavily upon bankrupt estates.
,Seeing the importance of
the office, and recognising the necessity, as a general
principle, of keeping men honest who are larg ly intrusted,
_ _

t would not adiocate the reduction of their ii•cotnes too
low, but I would give them more real work to do than
they have at present. It is to be observed that the number
will be reduced when the courts are reduced to four in
Louden and seven is the country. The ofLiaal assignees
are now paid bya scale, so much tier cent. for the amount
got in, and so much per cent. on the amount divided. It
was intended that this remuneration should bear a propor-
tion to the work done; but I anfsorry to have to declare
my opinion that such is not the case. The small bank-
ruptcies, which require muchJabour to collect numerous
small debts, remunerate the official assignee badly, or not
at all; while a large bankruptcy, as a banker's, which
gives the least possible amount of trouble, may pay the
official aisignee a ,very large sum indeed. I know of a
banker's estate, in which, with the minimum of trouble,
the official assignee received within the first 12 mouths a
sum of 5,0001. for remuneration. If the payment by scale
was founded on any idea of averages, the returns made to
Parliament of the incomes of the different official assignees
proves the idea to be without foundation. One official
assignee may be several piers iu office, and receive scarce
sufficient to enable him .to buy_bread, awl cheese, while
another may make a small fortune in a few months. It
appears to me that the official assignee should be paid a
fixed salary of 8001. a year, and also from 250/. to 3UOI.
a year for office expenses. In addition to this I would
eui.ble the commissioner to allow a sum, varying from 11.
to 201. in each bankruptcy, "for examining accounts and,
general diligence." This would give the commissioner
some check and control (which it is quite essential that he
should have), and would give the official assignee a motive
for being careful and diligent; in a word, would furnish
that "stimulus" which is said to be so essential in order
to prevent duty being performed in that languidly correct
manner which leaves nothing to be complained of, but
everything to be desired. If the office of messenger were
abolished, then, as the whole of the bankrupt's property is
invested in the official assignee, he appeals to be tire proper
person to take steps to secure it. I would. also require the
official assignee to prepare the bankrupt's balance-sheet in
all ordinary cases. On this subject I shall say a few words
hereafter.

L )Ni ON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 29, 18L7

Those who in URQUHART and Manchester
style exulted so much in the convicting, as they
thought, our English authorities at Canton; of
illegal and cruel proceedings, seem likely to be
themselves convicted of mere partisanship. With
a certain school everything done by our colonial
commissioners and admirals is necessarily wrong.
They are wrong if they allow British trade and
commerce to be insulted and injured, but much
more wrong if they punish insults and injuries,
especially if committed by semi-barbarians. Now,
there are, doubtless, abuses of authority, and
mismanagement in plenty, abroad as well as at
home, but we cannot give in to the practice of
condemning our own countrymen under circum-
stances so different to those which surround us,
except upon the fullest information.
From the first despatches, it might seem that
the warlike proceedings were commenced upon
ground technically illegal, the Arrow's British
register having, it was said, expired for 11 days.
But even this now appears to be improbable, to
say the least. It appears that by the Colonial
Act, if she left Hong Kong before the register
expired, she was entitled to its benefit till by her
return she was enabled to renew it. As, in
accordance with one of the conditions of the Act,
she had still her English master, Mr. KENNEDY,
it hardly seems likely that he, for his own safety's
sake, would suffer his vessel to lapse into a Chi-
nese one ; well knowing, as he must do, the tem-
per of YEH and his Canton rabble towards
Englishmen.

1 Be this, however, as it may, it is very clear
that the Chinese fully intended to insult our flag,
and to defy the Treaty. They had duly been
made acquainted with the Act which authorised
colonial registers of Chinese built vessels on the
conditions, principally, of paying a thousand
dollars for it, and ten dollars annually for its
renewal—next of having an English master—.
next of having the name painted in very large
letters both in English and Chinese on the stern.
The latter fact, especially in connection with that
of the flag being flying at the time the Arrow was
boarded, shows that the Chinese must have been
cognisant of the British character of the vessel.
YEfr, himself, proves by his own remarks that he
knew of the registration ; he objects, indeed, to
colonial registration. But the objection was too
l ate ; it ought to have been taken when the Ac t
was first communicated to him. Nothing can be
clearer, therefore, than the intent of YE; to gain
a triumph over the barbarians, and to digrace us
in the eyes of his brutal populace. It p 1 peo baree,
too, as we all along expected would prove to the fact, that this was not the first act of the
kind, but one of many similar acts. About a
' year before YEH had seized a lorcha under British
colours, had dismantled her, had surrendered only
to men.of-war's boats, that only her bull had even
then been recovered, and that, after weeks of fruit-
less negotiation, her owners had obtained no re-
dress. Some ten years previously four English-
