INDIA.

Mr. NOEL asked the Under Secretary for War
whether the Government would give to those of her
Majesty's Officers who were ordered to rejoin their regi-
ments in India before the expiration of their leave, on
account of the mutiny in that country, a free passage,
or whether they would be compelled to return there at
their own .'xpense?
Sir J. R.A.SISDEisT said that the subject was at pre-
sent under the consideration of the 'War Office and the
India Board. He was unable then to give an answer to
the question.

PROBATES, etc, BILL.
Sir J. TROLLOPE asked the Attorney-General, if
after calm reflection, he intended to proceed with the
probates and letters of administration hilt;
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that the ques-
tion did not require calm consideration, and he thought
it was answered by the paper containing the order
for to-night. (Hear, hear.) It was proverbial
that the House of Commons was not obstinate, and he
thought they would not obstinately adhere to the deci-
eion come to on a former night with reference to the bill.

ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.

Last night the performances of the "Bouffes
Parisiennes," were for the benefit of Mr. Mitchell.
The pieces represented on the occasion were Offen-
b Ach' s operette -mil Haire, " Dragonetta :" Adolph
Adam's operette bouffe, " Les Pantins de Vio-
let. a ;" and Offenbach's opera-bouffe, " Croquefer ;
ou, Le Dernier des Paladins." After the first piece
Madame Ugalde sang the scena and aria from Am-
broise Thomas's comic opera "Le Caid" with the
most brilliant effect, the audience unanimously
joining in an encore. The fair artist, however,
could not comply, having to sing before her Ma-
jesty at Buckingham Pala,:e.
A perfect crowd of illustrious and fashionable
personages assembled on the occasion, testifying by
their presence their high approbation of the inde-
fatigable efforts of the beneficiaire to conduce to
the entertainment of his aristocratic patrons. Mr.
Mitchell has never more signally exemplified his
managerial skill than in the engagement of this
admirable French company, whose performances
have been

much eventsto b
ofe the
present London season. It is much to be re-
.ed that pre-existing engagements necessitate
the departure of the Bouffes next week to the
Continent. Their final performance will be given
on Tuesday evening.
The performances were honoured by the presence
of the Due de Montpensier and the Infanta of
Spain, the Duchesse d'Orleans, the Comte de Paris,
the Due de Chartres, the Due d'Aumale, the Prince
and Princess de Joinville, the Spanish Minister,
and.a numerous suite. Among the other patrons of
Mr. Mitchell on this occasion were the Duchess of
Sutherland, the Duke of Portland, the Duke of
Roxbergh,the of Duke Leeds, the Duke and Duchess
of Beauforl-, the Marchioness of Stafford, the Earl
and Countess of Stamford and Warrington, Lord
Willoughby d'Eresby, Lord cranbourne, Lord

BETTING HOUSES.—Yesterday, at the Mansion-house,
the Lord Mayor mentioned the case of Merry, who was
recently convicted of keeping an illegal betting-house.
lie observed that the Sentence of imprisonment bad,
upon appeal, been confirmed by the Central Criminal
Court, and he was determined to deal with such crees in
future in the same way. He believed that many cases of
embezzlement were to be attzibuted to the ternptatiojut
held out to young men by this pernicious system, aSIP.;
instance of the kind having come before him on the pre-
vious day.

THE GREAT EASTERN.

This mammoth iron steamer, it is now said, will
probably visit New York upon her visit across the
Atlantic, instead of Portland, as it has been hereto-
fore announced. The difficulty of her approaching
this city by the way of Sandy Hook, on account
of a lack of water upon the bar, has been the ex-
cuse for allotting Portland as the place to land at,
as there is plenty of water in that harbour, and
extensive arrangements, it is reported, have been
male for her reception bybuilding docks, warehouses,
die. Should this chauge in her destination take place,
it will, no doubt, be-a-gloat disappointment to the
• Portland people, whilst it will give thousands of
New-Yorkers the opportunity to see this wonderful
specimen of naval architecture, who would not
otherwise have that gratification. Upon the Bar,
by the way of Sandy Hook, there is 27 feet at high
water, and 22 at the shallowest place at low:water.
The spring tides give a rise of six feet. The piloto
would not agree to take the ship in if drawing
over 26 feet, which would not allow of her
taking in freight. By the way of Long Island
Sound, however, the shallowest point in chan-
nel-way, at low tide, is 26 feet, and the spring
tides give a rise of eight feet, which is more than .
amply sufficient for the purposes required. Pilots
assert that 35 feet can be found by some slight
variations at high water. If the Great Eastern
were brought in by the way, of the Sound, the
natural stopping place would be at Morris's wharf,
the other side of Hell Gate. There is a wharf
600 feet in length already built at that place,
which could easily be extended, with ample depth
of water far the big ship to lie alongside. M
there is a line of railroad running to that point
which would furnish convenient accommodations
for -visitors, the distanCe would probabi; be ill,
favour Of the enterprise, as far as this is dependent
upon opportlinities for inspecilng the ship.--.Ne°

ROBl$EB•Y OF A JEWELEER'S SITUP AT MANCEMSTEE.—""
During tho night of Thursday the shop of Mr. Green-
halgh, silversmith and jeweller, St. Mary's-gate, Man'
chester, wa3 entered, and property, consisting of
gold and silver watches, chains, rings, broocbeg,
and other articles, to the amount of about 1,0001.,
was stolen. The thieves, had first entered an unnc-
oupied room over the shop, and effected an opening
through the fhor' from which they descended into the
shop by a rope ladder. There is no doubt that they
were old and expert bands, for they drilled a licle•
through the door of the iron safe half an inch thick, so
as to pick the lock. A reward of 100/. has been offered,
but the police have no ONO to the perpetrators of the
robbery.

ITALY.

The Piedmontese Gazette of the 7th says:—
" The discoveries of arms and ammunition
which are being daily made prove the import-
ance of the means placed at the disposal of the
insurrection. It is stated that a battalion of
the royal navy is to be sent to reinforce the garri-
son of La Spezia. A boat belonging to the custom-
house of Genoa has this morning brought a quan-
tity of arms and ammunition found abandoned on
the promontory of Portofino. A mine had been
prepared near the dockyard to effect a breach. It
appears that pillage and incendiarism were among
the plans of the insurgents at Genoa. Among the
written documents found by the police,
there is, it
says, ene couched in the following terms
Courage ! The first house and family you are to
pillage is that of They aro the richest
and most powerful spies and cruel enemies to
liberty. Fire and pillage ! Courage ! ' "
A letter from from Genoa, in the Opinione of
Turin, says Miss White, now confined in
the prison of Sant' Andrea, is treated with all
possible consideration.- The arrest of the Mal-
quis Pareto is connected with that of Miss
White, that lady being upon visiting terms
with the marchioness, who is an English woman.
It is stated that the muskets of the insurgents had
not been recently imported, but bad lain for seve-
ral years concealed with great care. There had
been an active recruiting for insurgents going on

during the last fortnight ; among them there were
pedp'e wko understood neither Genoese nor piire
Italian, but spoke a dialect only understood in the
Romagna. Among the papers found by the police
there was a list of all the officers and their resi-
dences."

The Cattolico of Genoa states that all Mazzini's
correspondence has been found in the possession of
one of the refugees arrested ; and that several per-
sons compromise" in the movement have taken
refuge in Swi!zerfand.

The Giglio of Leghorn of the 3d says :—" To-
day the city is perfectly quiet. The following is
the exact number of victims : 14 citizens killed,
and 7 wounded ; 3 soldiers killed, and 7 wounded;
two officers wounded, including M. Bracci, the son
of the commandant. It is stated that at Pisa
and Florence tranquillity was not disturbed,
owing to the arrest of a man who, from a certain
eminence, was to have made signals announcing

the commencement of the disturbance at Leg-
horn. All the stilettoes found are of the same
manufacture. Much money had been distributed
among the people. We owe our safety to our
consul of France, who had long before informed
our authorities of what was going on."

in ],774. He married in 1809 the only daughter
of the late Sir Thomas Troubridge, by whom, who
died in 1849, he leaves issue. The gallant general

broise Thomas's comic opera " Ls, Caidr with the
most brilliant effect, the audience unanimously
joining in an encore. The fair artist, however,
could not comply, having to sing before her Ma-
jesty at Buckingliain Palace. • •
A perfect crowd of illustrious and fashionable
personages assembled on the occasion, testifying by
' their presence their high approbation of the inde-
fatigable efforts of the beneficiaire to conduce to
the entertainment of his aristocratic patrons. Mr.

AN INSANE ARCHITECT.—One of the most remarka-
ble articles which constitute the furniture of the board
room of the Belfast Hospital for the Insane, is a coloured
ground plan and elevation of the building. It is laid
down on a very large sc:+le, witn most scrupulously
accuracy of measurement, elaborately finished in all its
engineering details, coloured in perfect artistic style,
and the work of a chronic lunatic ! a nailor by trade,
and when we met him subsequently in the grounds, be
was diligently at work in doing a neat piece of (mow
mental paving, with various coloured stoues.—Northern

a few kinds of stock, not much has been done in the
way of general business, nrr will there be until pur-
chasers give up the idea of getting great bargains and
advance in their prices. Money is getting easier, and
will doubtless become more plentiful in the market
before long, and when high rates of interest cannot be
obtained more will be trought into speculatiena.

RUSSIA.

A letter from St. Petersburg, in the Deutschland
of Vienna, says :—lt is well known that the Rus.
sian Government intends establishing a communi-
cation between the Caspian Sea and the Sea of
Aral by means of a canal, or rather by changing
the bed of the river Oxus, and making it fall into
the Caspian. The Government and the Geogra-
phical , Society have already several times sent
engineers to examine the course of that river ;
and it has now charged M. Schmercon, pro-
fessor at the University of Moscow, to proceed
to the spot to complete the previous surveys.
Another important enterprise is said to be in
contemplation—that .of forming a communica-
tion between the Caspian and the Black Seas.
The Government some time back sent a commis-
sion to the spot, and aneording to their first repot
the opera+iou will not be Vficult, as a canal might
be readily formed from the Mamyss, which is a tri-
butary stream of the Don, and running to the
Kuma, which falls into the Caspian. Mere recent
surveys, however, made under the direction of the
celebrated geographer Baehr, have shown that the
scheme will be attended with much greater diffi-
culty than the commission appeared to think, and
would entail an enormous expense."

LONDON. SATURDAY, JULY 11, 1857

Mr. THACKMAX haa appeared in the City of
Oxford as a candidate for the suffrages of that
important constituency. It need hardly be
added, by way of information to the many thou-
sands who are already familiar with his writings,
that the distinguished novelist has entered his
appeal for the votes of the electors, as a truly
Liberal Candidate. Of that there could scarcely
have been the shadow of a doubt, for a single in-
stant, in the minds of those in any way acquainted
with the social views and the political bias of that
very outspoken Gentleman in the Barnacles, Mr
MICHAEL ANGELO TIM AIiSH C)uld any orn
possibly have been mistaken in this matter in
regard to the principles and aspirations cherished
in the large heart beating with such fa: and

PRUSSIA.

A letter from Berlin, in the Nuremberg Corres-
pondent, contains the following :—" Our diplomacy
has interfered as mediator between Naples and the
Western Powers, particularly with England. Itis
said that Lord Clarendon has declared to our
minister in London, M. de Bernstorff, that his go-
vernment is disposed to renew diplomatic relations
with Naples, provided King Ferdinand communi-
cates to the English cabinet his treaty with the
Argentine confederation, and grants to all persons
compromised the right of emigration. The Nea-
politan government is said to be disposed to accept
these conditions with the sole reserve that means
will not be supplied the emigrants to return to the
Neapolitan States. Prince Antonelli, on the other
hand, is working privately at Paris for a mediation
between the Court of the Tuileries and Naples."

" Dr. Piokford is known to English readers by his frequent praati.

plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would
be saved much needless sufroring of body and mind, and what is of
less Importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—

Now-ready at all the Libraries,
BELOW THE SURFACE : A Story of English
Country Life. 3 von.

" It is no secret that it is Sir Arthur Hallam Elton who under-
takes to expose the secret workings of modern English society. The
nook is unquestionably clever and entertaining. It is a tale superior
to ordinary novels in its practical application to the phases of actual
life. The style is level, plain, and in good taste—felicitous epigrams
flashing through the tissue here and there."—Athenmuen.

!` The novel keeps the attention fixed, and it is written in a
genial, often playful tone, so that, although containing much that is
romantic in its incidents, there is no strain for effect. The temper
is throughout excellent."—Examiner.
