OVERLAND EXPEDITION TO INDIA

(From the London and China Telegraph.)
This expedition, in which so much interest has
been felt, has, we are sorry to say, proved a compa-
rative failure. It will be remembered that a num-
ber of gentlemen started from Shanghai in the
month of February last, intending to proceed to
India through China and Thibet. From time to
time we have recorded the details of their progress.
In our last report this " great overland party" had
reached Kwei-Chow-Fu, a distance of 1,200 Eng
lish miles from Shanghai. From thence we learn
by this mail that they proceeded to Wan, from
whence, being unable to obtain coolies or animals,
they continued their course by the River to Chun-
King, which they reached on the 28th April. Here
the Tartar general refused to see them, and the
French bishop, who has been a resident in the pro-
vince of Sechuen for 25 years, warned them that
there was a plot OA foot to murder them. How-
ever, through his assistance they were enabled to
procure a guard, but no assistance whatever was
rendered them, and they were compelled to submit
to great extortions. It appears that in this part of
the country nothing had been heard of the treaty.
They now passed several large cities, all more or
less closed from fear of rebels, and arrived at Sul-
chow on the 18th May. Here they found an army
of braves encamped outside the city, nominally for
its protection, but such was the insubordination of
the soldiers that they were actually fighting among
themselves, and the gates were closed against them.
The travellers, too, could not gain admission, but
were informed by the prefect that if they wished
to see him they would have to be pulled over the
walls in baskets—an honour which they declined.
To add to the unpleasantness of their position, the
prefect informed them that they could not possibly
proceed either by land or by water, as the whole
country was in the hands of the rebels.
_Their only chance now was to reach Ping-shan,
and to find some outlets from thence, but on ar-
riving at that place on the 25th May they could
neither obtain coolies, animals, or boatmen, and
on requesting permission to remain there until they
could receive a reply to a letter they had de-
spatched to the Viceroy of Ching-tu, relating to
their difficulties, the people declared that if they
did not clear out within a certain time they would
fire upon them. The next day they returned them
the letter to the Viceroy which they would not
forward, and carried their threat into execution,
without, however, doing any damage. • That night
the city was attacked by rebels, and the travellers
were fired at and attacked. They then retreated
to Sui.chow, and fin ding the obstacles to their
journey insuperable in the present disturbed state
of the country, they returned to Shanghai, which
they reached on the 9th Ally.

TILE PRICE OF GOLD

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 4 per mille prem.;
slid the short exchange on London is 25.421 per £1 sterling.
On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
about 6-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.
By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 4291 per mark,
and the short exchange on London is 13.81 per £1 sterling.
Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about
6-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
aCt day sight is 1071 to 107; per cent., which, when compared
witdhtlB:e Mint par between the two countries, shows that the
exchange 13 against England. But, after making allowance
for loss of interest and charges of transport, the present
rats learn no profit on !muslin gold to the United States.

RUSSIA.

In the absence of the Emperor the citizens of
St. Petersburg, on the fete day of his Imperial
Majesty, forwarded an address of congratulation to
him, by telegraph, to Livadia, in the Crimea. On
the following day the Emperor returned a message
of acknowledgment and thanks to his loyal subjects
of the capital by the same channel of communi
cation.

By an Imperial ukase, the special schools sup-
ported by the State for the children of the lower
class of civil functionaries have been suppressed as
separate establishments. The children are to be re-
ceived into existing schools, to be educated among
the children of other classes of the people, without
the previous official distinction.
The two Russian ships of war, the corvette
Sokol, and the frigate Ilia llourometz, of 54 guns,
that composed the squadron of observation on the
coast of Syria, have been recalled to the Baltic.

a man named Burkett observed m

.an alarm, upon which r
men, named Riley and Wade, proceeded twow„
the stairs, but they found the door of the
first-floor room locked. They gained an entrance,
however, by means of a ladder raised. from the out-
side. The floor was on fire. Near the place was a
bundle of rags and a quantity of burnt lucifer
matches. Five or six feet from this place was a
heap of shavings of cane; the refuse of that used for
bottoming chairs; and under this heap, but com-
pletely covered by it, was found the body of the
child. Its clothes, however, were not even singed.
Near it was a cat, also quite dead. The fire was
then quickly extinguished. The child's mother
stated that a young woman from the St. Stephen's
District Visiting Society had called upon her, and
finding her in a state of great distress had afforded her
temporary relief, and asked her to attend the services

LAW iNTELLIGENCE.—Sept. 17.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Nichols.)
IN RE RACHEL LEVISON, OTHERWISE " MADAME
RACHEL."-SINGULAR CASE.

This insolvent, a young woman, an "enameller
of ladies' faces," carrying on " her profession in
New Bond-street, as Madame Rachel," applied to
be discharged under the act.
Mr. Macrae opposed for the detaining creditors,
Messrs. Grant and Gask, silk mercers, Oxford.
street. Mr. Dowse, Mr. Sargood, and Mr. Robert-
son Griffiths supported.
A point was raised that the insolvent could not
take the benefit of the act, being under age. She
had signed a promissory note with her mother,
Sarah Rachel Levison, to the opposing creditors for
£lBB, for goods supplied, and on being sued set up
her minority. Judgment was obtained, and an ap-
plication made to setit aside, which was not
granted. The insolvent then petitioned this court,
and on the question of bail the point was raised as
to her being a minor. Bail was allowed, and now
on the hearing the question was renewed and dis-
cussed at some length. In an affidavit made by
the insolvent's father it was stated, and a copy of
certificate was produced, that she was born on the
4th January, 1841, and the insolvent, in her evi-
dence before the Chief Commissioner, stated that
she would be twenty-one next January.
Mr. Macrae submitted that, as the insolvent was
under age, she could not execute the warrant of at-
torney required by the act, and therefore the peti-
tion must be dismissed.

On the part of the insolvent it was asked that the
court would adjourn the case, the insolvent being
on bail, until after Jan. 4, when she would, accord-
ing to the allegation of the other side, be of age.
It was certainly a strange proceeding on the part
of the opposing creditors to allege that the insol-
vent was now under age, when they alleged the
contrary, and had prevailed to keep her in prison
because she was of age.

Mr. Commissioner Nichols said the question for
him to determine was whether the insolvent was or
was not of age. He presumed he had all the evi-
dence before him, but tLie Chief Commissioner
had decided the point. It was remarkable in this
case that Messrs. Grant, who opposed, and asked
for the dismissal of the petition because the insol-
vent was a minor, were the parties who resisted the
application before Mr. Justice Byles on the ground
that the insolvent was of age.
The case was adjourned to Nov. 12, and the bail
enlarged.

CO,IIMUNICATION TVITH FRANCE.

With a view to the enlarged continental traffic of
the second Exhibition year, the South-Eastern
Railway Company are developing their over•sea
communications. Early this month a new service
was opened between Dover and Ostend, giving
direct communication with Belgium, Holland, and
Germany, and yesterday (Tuesday) a new fast
steamer, the Victoria, made her first voyage from
Folkestone to Boulogne and back in the extraordi-
narily brief periods of 1 hour and 34 minutes and 1
hour and 33 minutes respectively, or at the rate of
20 miles per hour. In the voyage over she encoun-
tered an adverse sea, but only once or twice shipped
any water. On the return voyage a strong north
wind was dead ahead of her. In fine weather,
therefore, she may be expected to do the 30 miles,
which is probably the course of the passenger
steamers, in 1 hour and 20 minutes. The present
advertised time of the company's boats is 2 hours
and 10 minutes; but with such wind and sea as
yesterday the ordinary boats would probably take
10 or 15 minutes longer. The saving in time by
the Victoria over the boats hitherto used may
therefore be reckoned at three-quarters of an hour
—a consideration of much importance to timid
voyageurs, and not without its advantages to
all whose business or pleasure calls them to encoun-
ter a sea voyage. The Victoria is much larger than
any of the other South-Eastern boats—so long, in-
deed, that she can scarcely turn in the river oppo-
site the Boulogne Customhouse, and her internal
accommodations are in consequence superior. The
engines, which are by Messrs. Penn, of Green-
wich, are oscillating, of 220-horse power, and gave
39t- revolutions per minute going over, and 381 on
the return voyage, with a scarcely perceptible
vibration to the ship. Capt. Paul, late of the Lord
Warden, has been promoted to the command of the
Victoria, and Mr. Rennie, who has also been many
years in the company's service,is the chief engineer.
On her return trip the Victoria brought 350 pas-
sengers. Capt. Boxer, R.N., the company's super-
intendent at Folkestone, Mr. Samuda, and Mr.
Penn, were on board watching the working of the
vessel, and we believe we are correct in saying that
all parties concerned were highly satisfied with the
result. She is considered to be the fastest steamer
afloat, having beaten the Leinster, an Irish boat
having that credit hitherto, by seven minutes in the
84 miles from Gmvesend to Folkestone. A sister
boat to the Victoria has been built by Messrs.
Samuelson, of Hull, but has not yet come into the
company's hands. She will be named the Eugenie.
and will be placed on the same station.

OVERLAND EXPEDITION TO INDIA

(From the London and China Telegraph.)
This expedition, in which so much interest has
been felt, has, we are sorry to say, proved a compa-
rative failure. It will be remembered that a num-
ber of gentlemen started from Shanghai in the
month of February last, intending to proceed to
India through China and Thibet. From time to
time we have recorded the details of their progress.
In our last report this " great overland party" had
reached Kwei-Chow-Fu, a distance of 1,200 Eng
lish miles from Shanghai. From thence we learn
by this mail that they proceeded to Wan, from
whence, being unable to obtain coolies or animals,
they continued their course by the River to Chun-
King, which they reached on the 28th April. Here
the Tartar general refused to see them, and the
French bishop, who has been a resident in the pro-
vince of Sechuen for 25 years, warned them that
there was a plot ox foot to murder them. How-
ever, through his assistance they were enabled to
procure a guard, but no assistance whatever was
rendered them, and they were compelled to submit
to great extortions. It appears that in this part of
the country nothing had been heard of the treaty.
They now passed several large cities, all more or
less closed from fear of rebels, and arrived at Sui-
chow on the 18th May. Here they found an army
of braves encamped outside the city, nominally for
its protection, but such was the insubordination of
the soldiers that they were actually fighting among
themselves, and the gates were closed against them.
The travellers, too, could not gain admission, but
were informed by the prefect that if they wished
to see him they would have to be pulled over the
walls in baskets—an honour which they declined.
To add to the unpleasantness of their position, the
prefect informed them that they could not possibly
proceed either by land or by water, as the whole
country was in the hands of the rebels.
Their only chance now was to reach Ping-shan,
and to find some outlets from thence, but on ar-
riving at that place on the 25th ,May they could
neithur obtain coolies, animals, br boatmen, and
on requesting permission to remain there until they
could receive a reply to a letter they had de-
spatched to the Viceroy of Ching-tu, relating to
their difficulties, the people declared that if they
did not clear out within a certain time they would
fire upon them. The next day they returned them
the letter to the Viceroy which they would not
forward, and carried their threat into execution,
without, however, doing any damage. That night
the city was attacked by rebels, and the travellers
were fired at and attacked. 'They then retreated
to Sui chow, and finding the obstacles to their
journey insuperable in the present disturbed state
of the country, they returned to Shanghai, which
they reached on the 9th July.

THE PRICE OF GOLD

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 4 per mille prem.,
and the short exchange on
.London is 25,424 per £1 sterling.
these rates with the English Mint price of £3
On comparing
standard gold, it appears that gold is
about 6-10ths per cent. dearer in Loirclon than in Paris.
By advices from Hamburg the price: of gold is 4294 per mark,
and the short exchange on London is 13.84 per £1 sterling.
colo7dp.aprienrgounee for
standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about
6-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is 3674 to 10'i, per cent., which, when compared
with the Mint par between the two countries, shows that the
exchange is against England, But, after making allowance
for los of interest and charges of transport, the present
ititct 'ems no proat on sending gold to the United States.

CORMUNICATION WITH FRANCE.

With a view to the enlarged continental traffic of
the second Exhibition 3-ear, the South-Eastern
Railway Company are developing their over-sea
communications. Early this month a new service
was opened between Dover and Ostend, giving
direct communication with Belgium, Holland, and
Germany, and yesterday (Tuesday) a new fast
steamer, the Victoria, made her first voyage from
Folkestone to Boulogne and back in the extraordi-
narily brief periods of 1 hour and 34 minutes and 1
hour and 33 minutes respectively, or at the rate of
20 miles per hour. In the voyage over she encoun-
tered an adverse sea, but only once or twice shipped
any water. On the return voyage a strong north
wind was dead ahead of her. In fine weather,
therefore, she may be expected to do the 30 miles,
which is probably the course of the passenger
steamers, in 1 hour and 20 minutes. The present
advertised time of the company's boats is 2 hours
and 10 minutes; but with such wind and sea as
yesterday the ordinary boats would probably take
10 or 15 minut: s longer. The saving in time by
the Victoria over the boats hitherto used may
therefore be reckoned at three-quarters of an hour
—a consideration of much importance to timid
voyageurs, and not without its advantages to
all whose business or pleasure calls them to encoun-
ter a sea voyage. The Victoria is much larger than
any of the other South-Eastern boats—so long, in-
deed, that she can scarcely turn in the river oppo-
site the Boulogne Customhouse, and her internal
accommodations are in consequence superior. The,
engines, which are by Messrs. Penn, of Green-
wich, are oscillating, of 220-horse power, and gave
391 revolutions per minute going over, and 381 on
the return voyage, with a scarcely perceptible
vibration to the ship. Capt. Paul, late of the Lord
Warden, has been promoted to the command of the
Victoria, and Mr. Rennie, who has also been many
years in the company's service, is the chief engineer.
On her return trip the Victoria brought 350 pas-
sengers. Capt. Boxer, R.N., the company's super-
intendent at Folkestone, Mr. Samuda, and Mr.
Penn, were on board watching the working of the
vessel, and we believe we are correct in saying that
all parties concerned were highly satisfied with the
result. She is considered to be the fastest steamer
afloat, having beaten the Leinster, an Irish boat
having that credit hitherto, be seven minutes in the
84 miles from Gravesend to Folkestone. A sister
boat to the Victoria has been built by Messrs.
Samuelson, of Hull, but has not yet come into the
company's hands. She will be named the Eugenie.
and will be placed on the same station.

(IN TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRHCEA;
with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from De-
bility of the Generative system, or Sexual Hypochrondriasis.
Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.
" Dr. fickford is known to English readers by his frequent
practical contributions to German medical literature. This
is the first time, he informs UR, that he has addressed himself
to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the
last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it
may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette.
" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers
from this distressing malady by translating this little book,
and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified
adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they
know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own
purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the
various forms of disease which resemole it are accurately de-
scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of
the malady."—Medical Circular.

" We have dilated so long upon the contents of the preli-
minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for
any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ;
but the moderate price at which the brochure' is sold, places
it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."—

RUSSIA.

In the absence of the Emperor the citizens of
St. Petersburg, on the fete day of his Imperial
Majesty, forwarded an address of congratulation to
him, by telegraph, to Livadia, in the Crimea. On
the following day the Emperor returned a message
of acknowledgment and thanks to his loyal subjects
of the capital by the same channel of communi
cation.

By an Imperial ukase, the special schools sup-
ported by the State for the children of the lower
class of civil functionaries have been suppressed as
separate establishments. The children are to be re-
ceived into existing schools, to be educated among
the children of other classes of the people, without
the previous official distir, ction.
The two Russian ships of war, the corvette
Sokol, and the frigate Ilia Mourometz, of 54 guns,
that composed the squadron of observation on the
coast of Syria, have been recalled to the Baltic.

MURDER OF A MISSIONARY AND HIS

WIFE BY SAVAGES.

By telegram from Sydney (says the Melbourne
Age) we have intelligence of the brutal murder of
the Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Gordon, of the Nova Scotia
Mission, by the natives, at Erromanga—the same
island in which, it will be remembered, John Wil-
liams was killed in 1839. The intelligence was con-
veyed to the Rev. Mr. Cuthbertson, at Sydney, by
letters from Lifu. The particulars are as follow :
It appears that in consequence of the measles which
had been raging among the islands with fearful
mortality, the natives of Erromanga determined to
kill all the white people on that island, looking on
them as the cause of the disease. Gordon was aware
the natives intended taking his life, but thought
that a little time would change their purpose. About
noon on the 20th May, nine Bunkill natives, of
whom the chief Lova was the leader, called at the
mission-house and inquired for Gordon. They were
informed he was working at a house which he was
building as a winter residence. They then went
towards the place. Eight of the men concealed
themselves, while the ninth went further down to
inveigle Mr, Gordon into the trap thus laid for his
destruction. He had unfortunately sent all the boys
to gather grass for the roof of the new house, and
was unattended, when Narbu Leet walked up to
him and asked for a piece of calico for himself and
others of the party, who, he said, were waiting at
the mission-house. Mr. Gordon took up a piece of
board, and wrote with charcoal, " Give these men a
yard of cotton each." This he gave to the savage,
and tJld him to take it to Mrs. Gordon, who would
give him what he wanted. The savage then induced
Gordon to go with him, and he started up the hill,
followed by the native. On arriving at the ambush,
Naruba Leet buried his tomahawk in Mr. Gordon's
spine. He immediately fell, uttering a loud cry.
Nat.:ll)a Leet then gave another stroke on the right
side of the neck, which almost severed the head from
the body, and others rushing from their concealment,
quickly cut the poor victim to pieces. While this
tragedy was being enacted another native ran
towards the mission-house, and Mrs. Gordon, who
