OUDE.

We have received some information relative to the
unfortunate issue of an attack upon the fort of Bettiah,
in the Oude district. It appears that the country (when
within the memory of living man was it otherwise?) is
in a disturbed state—at least so we judge from the fol-
lowing facts. At present wo can do no more than men-
tion the circumstances, reserving our comment for the
next issue of the Indian Times:—
"On the 22d ult. a detachment, consisting of wing of
the Ist Local Infantry of Oude, attended by an
artillery detachment, consisting of one 9• pounder and a
24-pounder howitzer of the battery of the 2d company
Golundauze Battalion, was dispatched on special service
into the district. The Artillery complement was, 1 se-
cord lieutenant, 1 jemadar, 2 havildars, 2 naicks, 24
privates, 2 sirdars, and 22 drivers. Whether this body
has been lost in the woods, or what it is about, no one
can tell, as the station authorities have not been favoured
with any communication. On the night of the 27th ult.
a second detachment—wing of the 10th Regiment N. 1.,
with Artillery detachment of two 9-pounders, accom-
panied by a jemadar, 1 havildar, 1 naick, 20 privates, I
sirdar, and 20 drivers—were send in another direction
to Bettiah, on which place an attack was made on the
29th, when 10 of the Golundauze were wounded and
one of the guns abandoned. The enemy evacuated the
fort during the night, and the gun was recovered in the
morning. On the night of the Ist inst. another 9•
pounder was detached, manned by a naick and 12 pri-
vates, with a complement of ammunition and 24 rounds
extra."
It seems, from what we are able to glean, that on
arriving at the gate the party found themselves in front
of the citadel, which is described as being loopholed
throughout, and in such manner as to admit of a con-
centrated fire on the spot where the assailants had
gathered. No entrance was perceptible, but in the hope
a breach might be made in the wall, a nine-pounder was
run up and commenced its fire. The other gun was
ordered up to.support, but, owing to some mismanage-
ment, not more than five pounds could be fired (and these
the artillerymen carried in their hands), as, from an un-
explained cause, the tumbril could not advance. A cry
of ammunition failing arose, and a general panic ensued.
Before quitting the spot, the men were urged, by all
means of persuasion, to drag off the gun, but the fire
upon them ' was so severe that none would attempt it.
The artillerymen were almost all wounded, and five
bullocks were hurt. .

Such is the account before us a little confused in
the detail, as being written, probably, on the spur of the
moment. We look, however, for further advice, and
shall have a word or two to say on this evident contra-
vention cf orders prescribing the use of single guns, as
well as on the general character cf the unfortunate
affair.—lndian Times, April 11.

SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 28th ult. have arrived.
The Herald() contains the following :
" The day before yesterday a meeting of holders of
Spanish securities was held in the Bank of St. Ferdi-
nand to consider what memorial they ought to address
to the Board of Public Debt upon the arrangement of
that debt, agreeably to the Royal decree of the 30th of
March last. This meeting was only preliminary, another
meeting being to be held on the 21 of June next, in the
same place, to elect deputies from their body charged to
communicate with the board ou the subject. At the
preliminary meeting the greatest order prevailed. and,
although treating of money matters, which are always
of & delicate nature, and very likely to excite the pas-
sions, every one spoke with calmness, and all did that
justice to the Government to which it is entitled for the
uprightness of its intentions, and for having taken the
initiative in entering on a question, which, if satisfactorily
solved, as it is to be hoped it will be, must be the com-
mencement of our prosperity, present and future."

CHURCH RATES.

In reply to a question from Mr. C. LUSHINGTON,
Mr. TRELAWNEY said he stood in a peculiar posi-
tion with respect to his motion relative to church-rates.
Everybody knew that the Dissenters in this country
took a very deep interest in this question, particularly
since the recent decision in the Court of Exchequer,
and he was desirous to have an early day for the discus-
sion of the Bill.

THE YUNJAUB.

We have several communications from Peshawar.
Our latest is dated the 6th of April. The communica-
tion between Peshawar and Lahore is evidently improv-
ing. We lately mentioned that the Afreedie chiefs of
the Pass bad gore it.to Peshawar to make their salaam.
We are glad to It am that their overtures have not been
accepted; it is added that no negotiations will be entered
into with them until the views of the Governor-General
regarding the murder of Dr. Healey have been received.
When taxed with this atrocity, they professed at first
ignorance and then great unconcern, remarking that they
had heard a Saheb was out shooting, and that he had
been. murdered. Besides being stirred up by Dereea
Khan (salt has very little, if anything, to do with their
rebellion, notwithstanding the assertions of a Contem-
porary), it has been ascertained, at least a correspondent
who is close enough behind the curtain to know what is
going -en says so, that the Afreedies have.been recently

DEFERRED ANNUITIES.

By the operation of the same principles, the Society is enabled to
4fford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta-
geous than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con-
tribution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may se-
cure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or.,
st his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his
death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of
borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk
of forfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording
an ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and
ihould the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two-
thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives.
Ike following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan-
tages which the judicious application of a small saving can secure
through this Society.

EGYPT.

ALEXANDRIA, MAY 23.—Commercial matters are
brisker than they have been for some time past,
owing to the intelligence received by last mail from
England of an advance in cotton and cereal produce
generally. There is every reason to calculate on im-
proved prices for grain, as a demand has sprung up in
Algeria, whither considerable shipments have been
made. Exchanges have advanced to 97i piastres per
pound sterling for usance bills on London, and is
like/y, as the stock of specie increases, to experience
a further improvement. The amount of British tonnage
in port is very small indeed, but the fact of numerous
high-classed foreign bottoms offering for England will
have a tendency to check any considerable enhance-
ment of the rates of freight, which are now for cotton
to 9-16 per lb., and for grain, &c., 5s 6d to 6s per
quarter.—Herald.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Six,—Owing to my absence from England, I have
only just seen your paper of the 25th ult. In your lite-
rary article of that day there is a review of a book called
" Evenings at Sea," of which it is supposed that I am
the author. It is not the first time that the works of
others have been criticized as mine ; and if your critic
had noticed this work in the same spirit as the Spectator
criticized a former one, I should not have troubled you
with this communication. The high praise which is de-
servedly bestowed in your paper on " Evenings at Sea,"
renders it incumbent on me to disclaim its authorship. I
never saw the work until I read its eloquent and instruc-
tive pages in print.
I am, Sir, your most obedient servant,
ELIOT WARBURTON.

LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY.—The steam-ship Canada,
Captain Hanson, sailed for Halifax and Boston to-day. She
had 60 passengers, and the usual mails for Canada and the
United States. The Niagara, from New York, is expected
to reach the Mersey on Monday.

RusslA.—The General Steam Navigation Company
having placed their fine steam-ship Trident on the London
and St. Petersburgh trade, that vessel left the river 1 hames
late on Saturday night, with a full cargo, consisting pruici.
cipally of indigo, and a large number of passengers. Among
the latter was Mr. Buchanan, the Secretary of Legation at
the British Embassy at the Russian capital, several gentle-
men bound on a fishing excursion to the coast of Norway,
and a fair sprinkling of ladies. The Trident will regularly
ply between England and Russia during the summer, calling
at Copenhagen on her outward and homeward voyage; and
on this, her first trip, she had on board some waggon loads of
bullion, stated to be of the value of 120,0001.
Pride, pteirse-pride, is the besetting sin of England,
and, like most other sins, brings its own punishment, by
converting existence into a struggle, and environing it with
gloom and despondency. Elizu Cook's Journal.
SOUTH DEVON RAILWAY.—The directors of this
company have just hit upon a new plan of issuing monthly
order-books for the first and second class, which we think very
likely largely to promote intermediate traffic. In the summer
months, at least, many men of business may feel disposed to
avail themselves of these monthly tickets, and send their
families to Ivybridge, Torquay, or other places, which will
be now accessible to them at a discount of from 40 to 50 per
cent. below the regular charges. This plan cannot be too
extensively known. It will, doubtless, prove a great bless-
ing to all the towns' on the line of railway, and tend much
to promote further trafac.--Plymouth Journal.

The German Reform of Berlin, a semi-official
organ, declares formally that there is no truth in the
statement made by certain journals that the Govern-
ment had approved of the resolutions of the German
Parliament, with respect to the Constitution. This
declaration had created considerable sensation at
Berlin, as it shows that the Government had not, as
was supposed, retracted its recent policy of concession
to Austria in the German question.
The Cologne Gazette announces that the manufac-
turing firm of GRUMAN, of Elbing, which occupies
more than 1,000 workmen, had been obliged to sus-
pend payment. The liabilities exceed 1,000,000
thalers, but the creditors had accorded six months'
time, and the authorities of the town had solicited an
advance from the Government. The failure is stated
to be one of the consequences of the war with Den-
mark. At Memel, also, houses engaged in the
timber trade have greatly suffered from the same
cause.

The Post Gaz,:ite of Frankfort states that the
Ministry of Saxe Coburg Goth will, in the next

SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 15th and 16th have arrived.
It is said that the Count of MONTEMOLIN has pro-

ment on the occasion of the accouchement of the
QUEEN.
A Ministerial crisis is apprehended in Madrid, in
consequence of the conflicting claims of the KING-
CONSORT and of NARVAEZ to b 9 Regent during the
time of the QUEEN'S confinement. The KING-CON-
SORT is supported by Queen ISABELLA, while NAB,
vaEz is supported by CHRISTINA and her husband.

DIARY of a LADY'S TRAVELS in BAR-
BARY. 2 Vols..
A lady travelling through Barbary recorded in her
diary day by day her adventures, her observation?,
and her impressions thereon. Some judicious friends
having perused the manuscript, expressed their belief
that some portion of the reading public might feel in-
terested in a lady's observations relative to a part of
the world rarely visited by lady tourists. In com-
pliance with this advice some " leaves" from the
above-mentioned diary have been made public, and
many readers will have cause to thank the judicious
friends aforesaid. The scenes here described are as
yet unhacknied, and the lady traveller is eminently
well qualified for the task of setting forth the pecu-
liarities, agreeable or otherwise, of Barbary end its
inhabitants, civilized or barbarian. As an ex in ple of

JAMAICA MARKETS.

GENERAL REMARKS.—Since the publication of our
postcript issued on the 16th instant, for the American
steamer Crescent City, no new features of any moment
bave been apparent in the condition of the market. In
deed we may report business as being unusually dull,
the trade supplying themselves only as their stacks be-
come exhausted. With the exception of the dispo!al of
two cargoes of Halifax fish, the business transacted since
the 16th has been trifling and unimportant ; but prices
generally rule high, while the consumption of many
articles has, in consequence, been considerably restricted.
The stocks of all articles of every day use are fully ample
for the confined demand, especially of fish, of which
there are now three cargoes in the market unsold, and
of breadstuffs which remain in large quantities on the
hands of importers. Our stock of East India and Caro-
lina Rico is, however, very low ; there is not any in first
hands, but it does not appear that the deficiency cf this
article has called any other into more active consump-
tion. The abundance of our native vegetables un-
doubtedly affects the sale of foreign breadstuffs.

GERMANY.

The People's Chamber at Erfurth finished its de-
liberations on the fundamental laws on the 18th, ani
then proceeded to discuss the electoral law, which
was adapted with only one amendment. Toe Chain.
ber then took up the additional Act. Tao question
of the right of peace and war was adopted by a large
majority as follows :
" The right of peace and war which belongs to the
union shall be exercised by it without prejudice to the
rights and duties resulting from the confederati,,n of
1815. Thus this right cannot bo exercised against those
German stat s not joining the union. On the contrary,
as concerns them, the provisions of the Federal Act -Of
1815, rela'ing to the public pezce, will remain in force.
The army of the union will be organized in such a man-
ner as to be able to adapt itself to the future eirene--
stances of the Confederation.

A resolu'ion was then Come to for the provisional
promulgation of the constitution.
