CHINA.

The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer
Achilles arrived at Bombay on the 19th of July,with
the China mails of the 23d of June. Considerable
sickness prevailed at Hong-Kong, upwards of 100 of
her Majesty's .59th Regiment being in hospital at one
time. O❑ the 13th of June the barque Elizabeth
Ainslie, from Calcutta, was destroyed by fire, with
300 chests of opium and 1,200 bags of saltpetre on
board. Governor Bonham had arrived at Shanghai,
but nothing more has transpired relative to the mis-
sion of her Majesty's sloop Reynard to Pekin, or
rather to the Peiho. A report was current in Shanghai
at the departure of the mail that the Reynard had
grounded on the bar at Tien-tsin and been fired into
by the Chinese; fears are entertained for her safety,
but apparently on insufficient grounds. The Chinese
are in considerable excitement regarding this mission,
and some foolish foreigners have been doing what they
could to increase their apprehensions.
The new Governor of Macao, Senhor Da Cunha,
has arrived in China, together with three small ships
of war and about 1,000 troops. Communications
have passed between him and the Imperial Commis-
sioner, but their precise nature has not transpired. It
is rumoured that he is instructed to demand the abso-
lute session of the peninsula of Macao to the Portu-
guese, and the withdrawal of all Chinese posts within
a certain distance, together with the expense of the
present expedition. His force is, however, considered
insufficient for energetic coercive measures should
his demands be refused.

EGYPT.

The Paris Jonrnal des Dibats has the following on
the affsirs of Egypt :—" The last news which we re-
ceive from Egypt speak at great length of certain
changes which had lately taken place in the personnel
of the high functionaries of that country. We find
in some letters hitter complaints against the adminis-
tration of the Viceroy ; while others, on the contrary,
contain nothing but a string of eulogiums, par-
ticularly induced by the discharge of Artem
B-y, formerly Minister of Commerce and Foreign
Affairs. The motives of this dismissal are, we are as-
sured, very serious, and the gravest charges of mai-
yersltion of the public money weigh against him.
In the absence of precise information, we give the
following without comment. Numerous reforms
were attempted after the death of Ibrahim Pacha
by his successor, Abbas Pache, the present Vice-
roy, in order to alleviate the miseries and burdens
of the persons engaged in agriculture, and to
render articles of lite cheaper. The personal
tax was diminished by six millions of francs,
and the duty on land, meat, and various articles of
primary necessity has been sensibly reduced. These
innovations naturally led to some changes in the per.
sonncl of the functionaries, and hence arose numerous
complaints from private interests at the expense of the
general interests of the country. The views of the
Pacha were latterly completely thwarted by the system
followed by Artim Bey, the Minister of Commerce and
Foriegn Affairs. This system, in contempt of the trea-
ties of commerce with foreign powers, tended to re-esta-
blish, for the benefit of some, the old monopoly which
had been abolished for the benefit of all; the auctions
of the produce of the land belonging to the State, the
adjudications of the works to be executed, and of sup-
plies of all kinds ceased to he free; it was a blow aimed
at the entire commerce of Alexandria and of Cairo. The
department of commerce was taken from Artim Bey ;
but the Dacha, in consequence perhaps of the support
given to his Minister by the Sublime Porte, wished
him to retain that of Foreign Affsirs. Artim Bey,
who was then at Alexandria, was informed of this
decision, and at the same time was requested to
come to Cairo to see the Pacha. A few days
after it was announced at Alexandria that Artim
Bey could not proceed to Cairo to the Viceroy,
in consequence of indisposition, but immediately
after he suddenly embarked on board a French
packet boat fur Constantinople, whence, it is said, he
proceeded to Beyront. What is the meaning of
this flight ? Will it give strength to the accusations
brought against Artim Bey? Oar next letters will
doubtless inform us. The nomination of the new
Ministers is already known ; Stephen Bey, formerly
director of the Egyptian School at Paris, is appointed
Minister of Foreign Affsirs, and Edden Pacha
Minister of Commerce. Loth of them have resided
a long time in Europe, particularly in France and
England.

OVERLAND MAIL

INDIA AND CHINA.

(From the Times.)
We have received a dispatch by the electric tele-
graph, via Trieste, announcing the arrival at that
port of the steamer of the Austrian Lloyd's, bringing
the Overland Mail.

The following is the message of our corresponden
at Alexandria :

" ALEXANDRIA, OCT. 9.

" The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-
ship Oriental arrived at Suez on the 6th instant, with
fifty-two passengers. The dates of the intelligence
brought by this arrival are Bombay, September 17 ;
Calcutta, the 7th September ; Singapore the 2d of
September ; and Hong-Kong the 24th August.
" There was a total dearth of events of political
importance, and the profoundest tranquillity reigned
throughout India.
* The works on the Calcutta Railway had been at
last commenced.

"Sir Charles Napier was to begin his homeward
journey from Simla on the sth of November, and the
Governor-General was expected to return from Kona-
wur to Simla at the end of September. It was then
expected that his Lordship would visit the Punjaub.

" According to a report, which was considered very
doubtful, Sir H. Laurence was said to have fallen
during his travels in Cashmere into the hands of a
tribe who had detained him in captivity.

" A mutiny had broken out among some of the
Ni2am's native troops.

" The cholera was still prevalent in Sinde, Moultan,
and some districts of India.
"From Singapore we learn that Sir James Brooke
had sailed for Siam on the 31 of August.
"The Indian and Chinese seas are still infested with

pirates.
"The first expedition of the Dutch against Borneo
has had but small success.

" The intelligence from China is unimportant. We
are glad to state that the health of the troops in Hong-
Kong was improving.
" The differences between the Chinese and Portu•
guese at Macao had not been arranged.
" A sufficiency of rain bad fallen in Bengal and
the greater part of India, with the exception, however
of Bombay and Poonab.

THE FIRE AT BERMONDSEY.

The fire which occurred yesterday morning in the
Grange-road, Bermondsey, briefly noticed in this
journal of the same day, was attended with a far
greater destruction of property than was at first anti-
cipated. The premises belonging to Messrs. Beach
and Sons occupied an immense area of ground, and
comprised sundry buildings, such as drying-houses,
warehouses, and lofts. The principal portion was
formed of Weber, so that it seems miraculous that the
flames should have been stopped before they had
swept down every building on the ground. At one
period the fire rose upwards of twenty feet above the
roof of the surrounding property, and extended to the
opposite side of the road, firing in succession the pre-
mises of Messrs. Newcomb, wheelwrights; Mr.
Prestage, a tailors' trimming seller, in Gloucester-
row ; three other houses in the same row, and a large
building in Salmon's-place. Had the firemen not ob-
tained such an early supply of water, it is impossible
to conceive what must have been the extent of the
conflagration. Mr. Braid wood, the superintendent
of the brigade, had several engines placed in the
Grange-road, whilst Mr. Henderson, the foreman of
the same establishment, had others taken into Glou-
cester-row. By that. expedient the firemen were
enabled to attack the flames at every point, and even•
tually they succeeded in stopping their further exten-
sion, and the whole of the remaining manufacturing
premises were preserved. Although a strict inquiry
has been made by the owners of the property to find
out the cause of the misfortune, nothing that could be
depended upon could be ascertained. Subjoined is

highly favourable news from California two
weeks later than that brought by the steamer
a few days ago. Accounts from the gold region
are very encouraging, and the restoration of
peace at Sacramento city will be learned with
great delight. We aro also happy to find that
the city has not been burned, as was reported ; the
affair seems to have ended after the sacrifice of a few
lives. This will be welcome news, for a large por-
tion of the community have had very serious appre-
hensions of the fate of their friends, since it was re-
ported that several more outrages had commenced
upon the Pacific coact."
The stock market was firm, with an advance in
prices. A large dry goods house in Boston had failed,
with liabilities 400,000 dolls. The advices by the

toral Hesse from the complicated situation in which

Accounts from Cassel of the 13th say—" An order
of the thy has been addressed by Lieutenant-General
Haynau to all the colonels of regiments, giving to
each officer an indeterminate delay to reflect on the

doubts they may have relative to the Constitution.

GERMANY.

The Cassel Gazette, which is now published at
Frankfort, under the direction of HASSENPFLUG, con-
tradicts, in its number of the 13th, the report of the
abdication of the Elector of HESSE which had ap-
peared in the Deutsche Zeitung of the previous day.
On the 14th the Deutsche Zeitung published the fol-
lowing note :
Ttie statement contained in the second edition of
this journal, published yesterday, was not ventured ex-
cept upon very good grounds, as we have since satisfied
ourselves by further inquiry. It was only because the
same influence which has worked so much evil through-
out the late troubles regained the ascendant that the act
which eas all that was wanting to justify our statement
was delayed. We regard this, however, as only a post-
onement of a fact which the text few days will clear
up."
It is said that the ELECTOR is beginning to see that
HASSENPFLUG and Count Thing have'been misleading
him to serve Austrian purposes, and that he is inclined
to dismiss those from his service who would make
of him a mere Austrian tool, and to call to his councils
men who have the independence and interest of the
country at heart, It was rumoured at Cassel on the
15th that HASSENPFLUG and the Absolutist clique
hari been dismissed, and; the following Ministry ap-
pointed :
ELORES, Ministerial President.
DUYSING, Minister of Finance.
LOSBERO, Minister of War.
These men are all Constitutionalists. Certain it is,
that the two last have been summoned to Wilhelms-
bad by the ELECTOR.
Accounts, from Vienna of the 12th state that the
cholera had again broken out in that city.
It is said that Baron VAT has been appointed
Stadtbolder of Hungary, and Jons CZERAKI Presi-
dent of the Supreme Court of Justice.
Letters fronr Verona state that the adjudication of
the Lombardo-Venetian loan, which was to take place
at that city on the Bth instant, has not been awarded,
none of the offers having reached the minimum fixed
by the Minister of Finance.

A MIRACLE IN FRANCE.

A LIVING BEAR DESTROYED BY A DEAD
SAINT.

The priesthood of France are determined not to
be behind the rest of the world in miracles; but the
manner by which they seek to increase the num-
ber of the faithful is more interesting and ro-
mantic than the winking virgins of more clumsy
contrivers. They are assiduously promulgating
a story of the destruction of a monstrously big
Bruin by the ghost of St. Bruno. A huge and fero-
cious bear has long spread terror amongst the pea-
santry of the Chartreuse Desert, and devastation
amongst their cattle. When the snows appeared last
month, the brute became particularly impudent.
One night the child of a woodman belonging to the
monastery of St. Bruno was taken ill. The father
set out in the dead of the night to the monastery,
and obtained from one of the fathers a
bottle of medicine, with which, after a hasty
prayer to the Virgin for the safety of his darling, he
returned towards his hut in the midst of a raging
tempest. He cared little for the storm, however, but
he terribly feared the ferocious bear. He had to cross
a ravine over the trunk of a tree, and just as he had
reached the middle of the narrow bridge, on which it
was impossible to turn, he saw the big bear with gnash-
ing teeth awaiting his arrival. The torrent roared be-.
low, and the poor man expected nothing but instant
death. In his extretnity be prayed to St. Bruno; a light
appeared, the saint stood beside the bear, handed the
poor man safely across, at the same time dashing the
bear into the ravine, where its body was found next
morning. The child recovered, and the woodman
related the miracle to the fathers, and returned thanks
for his preservation. The skin of the bear is exhibited
in Paris, and sermons have been preached on the
wondrous event.

ITALY.

Advices from Rome of the Bth state that Signor
PIKELLI, the Sardinian Envoy, had demanded his
passports, as he cannot consent to the propositions of
the Papal Court for the settlement of the dispute be-
tween the two countries.
The POPE has admitted to a private audience a
deputation of English Catholics, who were presented
to him by
Cardinal Murcia. The deputation,
which was composed of the members of the English
College and several other Englishmen, went to thank
the PONTIFF for elevating to the purple their old col-
league and superior, Dr. WISEMAN. PIUS IX. re-
ceived them in a
very gracious manner, and on their
departure gave them separately the apostolic bene-
diction.

its official part, the appointment of Count CAVOUR to
the Ministry of Marine, Agriculture, and Commerce.
The Opinione reports that the Minister of War was

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE:

The third of the series of Grand National Concerts
took place last evening, and was exceedingly well
attended ; the promenade, as usual, was quite crowded.
Mr. Gustavus Geary, who acquired considerable fame
as a concert singer last season, and who has since
then been singing with much success at Dublin,
made his deblit at these concerts last evening. His
voice is a tenor of considerable power, ,compass, and
sweetness. He sang the bravura, "Oh ! tis a glorious
sight," from Oberon, a duet from Tancredi with
Mdlle. Angri, and " Ah to o cars," from the Puritani;
the latter exquisite air was beautifully rendered. Mr.
H. C. Cooper, the violinist, whose performances at the
Philharmonic Concerts have already acquired for him
a high 'reputation, also made his first appearance. He
performed Mendelsshon's violin concerto in E minor,
and never have we heard a more artistical perform-
ance; the applause at the conclusion was enthusiastic.
To this admirable performance of Mr. H. C. Cooper,
to the equally admirable performance last evening by
M. Charles Halle, of the first pianoforte concerto in
G minor of the same great composer, to the magni-
cent rendering by the orchestra of Cherubini's over-
ture to Finiska, to the beauties of Balfe's
MS. overture, the perfection of its instru-
mentation and the effective manner of its per-
formance, and to the magnificent performance
of Beethoven's noble overture to Egmont, the com-
mittee of management may appeal as a proof that they
last night, at least, fully redeemed the pledge of their
programme. It would be an injustice to Mr. Balfe to
close this notice without bearing testimony to the
admirable manner in which he conducted Mendels-
sohn's concertos, affording the solo players ample scope,
and at the same time keeping the band well together,
and rendering with a feeling of reverential respect the
true meaning of his author.

jury would therefore form in their own minds an -- `-- ..•--,--
opinion as to what the intention was which led to
these representations. He had drawn their attention
to all the facts which be thought of importance in this
terrible case. They would take them into their most
serious consideration. If they were dissatisfied with
the evidence implying guilt in any particular person
they would return a verdict of murder against some
person or persons unknown. If, however, on the
other hand, they thought the evidence sufficiently
brought home guilt to Thomas Drory, then they
would find a verdict accordingly. In doing this they
were only in the position of a grand jury, referring
the case before them to the proper tribunal for its in-
vestigation and decision.
The jury then retired, and the prisoner was with-
drawn at the same time. After the lapse of about a
quarter of an hour they returned into court, and
amidst solemn silence, the foreman announced as their
unanimous verdict—" That Thomas Drory was guilty
of the wilful murder of Jael Denny." The prisoner
was absent at this moment, not having come back to
hear the decision of the jury pronounced.
The CORONER. immediately placed an order for his
committal in the hands of Superintendent Coulson,
by whom Drory was last night conveyed to Chelms-
ford Gaol.

GERMANY.

The Cassel Gazette, which is now published at
Frankfort, under the direction of HASSENPFLUG, con-
tradicts, in its number of the 13th, the report of the
abdication of the Elector of HEsssi which had ap-
peared in the Deutsche Zeitung of the previous day.
On the 14th the Deutsche Zeitung ;published the fol-
lowing note :
" The statement contained in the second edition of
this journal, published yesterday, was not ventured ex-
cept upon very gocd grounds, as we Lave since satisfied
ourselves by further inquiry. It was only because the
same influence which has worked so much evil through-
out the late troubles regained the ascendant that the act
which was all that was wanting to justify our statement
was delayed. We regard this, however, as only a post-
ponement of a fact which the next few days will clear
up."
It is said that the ELECTOR is beginning to see that
HASSENPFLUG and Count Tuusi have:been misleading
him to serve Austrian purposes, and that he is inclined
to dismiss those from his service who would make
of him a mere Austrian tool, and to call to his councils
men who have the independence and interest of the
country at heart, It was rumoured at Cassel on the
15th that HASSENPFLUG and the Absolutist clique
had been dismissed, and] the following Ministry ap-
pointed
ELORES, Ministerial President.
DUYSING, Minister of Finance.
LOSIIIIRG, Minister of War.
These men are all Constitutionalists. Certain it is,
that the two last have been summoned to Wilhelms-
bad by the ELECTOR.
Accounts: from Vienna of the 12th state that the
cholera had again broken out in that city.
It is said that Baron VAY has been appointed
Stadtholder of Hungary, and JoaN CZERAEI Presi-
dent of the Supreme Court of Justice.
Letters from Verona state that the adjudication of
the Lombardo-Venetian loan, which was to take place
at that city on the Bth instant, has not been awarded,
none of the offers having reached the minimum fixed
by the Minister of Finance.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.

were protected by their fortifications and field works.

THE PLATE ROBBERY CASE.

---
LIVEBPOOL, THURSDAY.—It will be remembered
that the prisoner Sirrell was remanded by the county
magistrates on Tuesday in order that he might be
brought up before Mr. Rushton, the stipendiary ma-
gistrate,
on a charge of receiving some plate, sup-
posed to have been transmitted by M'Guire, the pro-
duce of a robbery at the house of Mrs. Tinley, No.
4, reel-street, Liverpool. The prisoners Sirrell and
M'Guire were accordingly placed in the dock at the
Borough Court at ten o'clock this morning. It was,
however, understood that the case would not be gone
into, owing to a deficiency in the evidence. Mr.
Lewis was again in attendance on behalf of Sirrell,
but M'Guire had not the advantage of the presence of
his legal adviser, Mr. Simon. Mr. Dowling, the chief
officer of police, conducted the prosecution.
The magistrates on the bench were Mr. Rushton,
Mr. R. E. Harvey, Mr. T. H. Smith, and Mr. C.
Turner.
Mr. Rushton on entering the court immediately
ordered that the prisoners should be brought up.
The prisoner M'Guire,
who is a young, fresh-
coloured man, then stepped forward to the front of
the dock, but Sirrell, who appeared less unconcerned
than at the recent examination before the county ma-
gistrates, retired to the back and sat down during the
brief conference which ensued.
Mr. Rushton (to Mr. Dowling)—These prisoners
have, I understand, been remanded to enable me to
investigate an additional case to those already gone
into before the county magistrates—a case of robbery
within the borough ? Mr. Dowling—They have.
Mr. Rushton—And I understand the evidence to
be this—that certain plate was stolen within the bo-
rough of Liverpool, transmitted by railroad in a tin
canister, the tin canister having at the top a label
running thus :—" Martin M'Guire, 32, School-lane."
This was found in possession of the prisoner Sirrell
by the London officers, Inspector Lund and Ser-
geant Whitcher, and the Liverpool officer Keogh.
Now, have you any proof of M'Guire's handwriting?
Mr. Dowling—l have no proof of the handwriting.
I had better at once state that as a fact; and it would
he folly going into the case, as it would waste the
time of the Court to no purpose.
Mr: Rushton—Then the prisoner Sirrell is trans-
mitted back to the county jurisdiction to await the
decision of the county magistrates.

OVERLAMAIL

INDIA AND CHINA.

(From the Times.)
We have received a dispatch by the electric tele-
graph, via Trieste, announcing the arrival at that
port of the steamer of the Austrian Lloyd's, bringing
the Overland Mail.

The following is the message of our correspondent
at Alexandria :

" ALEXANDRIA, OCT. 9.

" The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-
ship Oriental arrived at Suez on the 6th instant, with
fifty-two passengers. The dates of the intelligence
brought by this arrival are Bombay, September 17 ;
Calcutta, the 7th September ; Singapore the 2d of
September ; and Hong-Kong the 24th August.
" There was a total dearth of events of political
importance, and the profoundest tranquillity reigned
throughout India.
" The works cn the Calcutta Railway had been at
last commenced.

"Sir Charles Napier was to begin his homeward
journey from Simla on the sth of November, and the
Governor-General was expected to return from Kona-
wur to Simla at the end of September. It was then
expected that his Lordship would visit the Punjeub.
" According to a report, which was considered very
doubtful, Sir H. Laurence was said to have fallen
during his travels in Cashmere into the hands of a
tribe who had detained him in captivity.
" A mutiny had broken out among some of the
Nizam's native troops.

" The cholera was still prevalent in Sinde, Moulin)
and some districts of India.

"From Singapore we learn that Sir James Brooke
had sailed for Siam on the 31 of August.
" The Indian and Chinese seas are still infested with
pirates.

_
`• The first expedition of the Dutch against Borneo
has had but small success.

" The intelligence from China is unimportant. We
are glad to state that the health of the troops in Hong-
Kong was improving.

" The differences between the Chinese and Portu-
guese at Macao had not been arranged.
" A sufficiency of rain had fallen in Bengal and
the greater part of India, with the exception, however.
of Bombay and Poonah.

STATE OF TRADE.-MANCHESTER, MONDAY.-
Notwithstanding the Christmas holidays, the amount of
business done to-day has been above the average of
former years. There is an advance on yarns and heavy
fabrics, which are more firmly held, and higher rates
are being obtained. Se►eral spinners to-day refuse to
operate except at higher rates. On some lighter goods,
figured, twilled, and printed cloths, remunerative prices
are obtained, and the manufacturers hold heavy orders.
These descriptions of goods were greatly depressed in
1847. The fears generally felt a few weeks ago of the
continued high price of the raw material are again re-
vived from the state of the Liverpool cotton market.
The price of middling Orleans at this date was, in 1843,
518.; 1844, 4c1.; 1645, 4d.; 1846, 6j-d.; 1847, 41d. ;
1848, 4d.; while to-day it is 6kd. It is reported this
afternoon that, on counting the stock of cotton in Liver-
pool (which is done at the close of each year), the brokers
find 88,000 bales more than their accounts of receipts
and sales had led them to expect. If this be correct, it
will be a seasonable addition to the light estimate of the
stock on hand.

REMOVAL Or POLICE MAGISTRATES.—Yesterday
Gilbert a'Beckett, Esq., the recently-appointed magis-
trate at Greenwich (in the room of the late Mr. Jeremy),
was removed from that court to the Southwark Police-
court, where he has for some time assisted Mr. Seeker,
who now will sit at Greenwich. The latter gentleman
has lately sutured much from ill health, and it is stated
that he has exchanged with Mr. a'Beckett by the desire
of his physician. The Government have determined to
decrease the number of police magistrates to twenty for
the metropolitan district, by not filling up vacancies as
they occur by resignation or death. Mr. a'Beckett,
will
therefore, be assisted by magistrates from all the other
police-courts in regular rotation. It is stated that two
of the senior magistrates will shortly resign, which will
add considerable labour to the duties of the other ma-
gistrate's, as their places will not be filled up.
It may be mentioned as a proof of the good %rder
with which the lower classes observed Christmas, that
there was not a charge of any kind brought forward at
the Magistrates' office during the week.—Essex Herald.

KENILWORTH CASTLE

As it appeared on the occasion of Good Queen Bess's Royal Visit.
For further particulars inquire of Sir Walter Scott. It is an histori•
cal fact that Good Queen Bess paid the Earl of Leicester a visit, and
paid the piper." This, his gorgeous fete, half ruined him ; there-
fore we pity his fate, but must admirs his wondrous generosity, for
all lie ever hoped for in return was—half-a-crown. The Earl fore-
stalls Shakspere, by discovering " that the course of true love never
did run smooth," for luxe he meets with some twenty " oompeti-
tours," and to him they do come " petit ours," for they prove per-
fect bears, or, more properly speaking, bores. A Lovers' Quarrel
on a grand scale, a sort of " tiff for the million." takes place, wkich,
although beginning in love, ends in war, and the total destruction of
