OVERLAND MAIL

The French Government, on Monday, received the
following telegraphic dispatch from Marseilles :

" MALTA, SEPT. 25.

" The Liverpool steamer arrived here last night,
from Alexandria, with the India mail. The intelli-
gence from Bombay, of the 27th of August last, is
devoid of interest.

" The detachments of troops sent into the territory
of Shikapoor had been compelled to retreat, in con-
sequence of the want of water and the intensity of
the heat.

" An expedition was being prepared in Caubul
against the King of Bokhara. It is to be commanded
by Akbar Khan.

" The Punjaub is in a state of ferment, daily in-

creasing.
" Lord Ellenborough is expected here in the course
of the day."
The Suffren ship of the line arrived at Toulon, on
the 26th, from Cadiz, where she left the Prince
de Joinville on the 21st.
Accounts from Algiers of the 24th announce a
revolt of the Arabs near Dellys.

BRUSSELS, SEPT. 28.—The Government has received
from the Belgian Consul a decision of the Minister of
Agriculture and Commerce dated the 14th of August,
reducing the several terms of quarantine imposed on
goods coming from the Levant.

Letters from Paris have announced that King Leopold
would shortly go to England. We know nothing here
of such a journey.
By a royal resolution of the 30th June, Count d'Oul-
trement is discharged from the post of Minister Plenipo-
tentiary at Rome. Another resolution of the Ist of
September confers on Count d'Ooultrement the rank of
Commander of the Order of Leopold.
A man who was lately arrested on suspicion of having
been concerned in a robbery, proved to have committed
a new species of roguery. The blouse and other new
clothes which he wore were given him a few days since
by the Jesuits, when he was baptized, after having
abjured the Protestant religion. But it has since been
discovered that this man has changed his religion two
or three times, receiving each time new clothes and
pecuniary relief.
FRONTIERS OF POLAND, SEPT. 17.—The Prussian
Gazette lately contradicted the statement that the ex-
portation of corn from Poland was prohibited ; it is only
partly correct; the prohibition, which is already revoked
in consequence of the abundant harvest, referred only to
the Vistula, that the city of Warsaw and the country on
its banks, which had suffered so severely by the inunda-
tion, might not be exposed to temporary scarcity. The
danger is now past. The prices are falling, and one
speculator in corn after another is obliged to stop pay.
ment. The losses are said to be immense, but the spe-
culators were really extravagant.
The new agrarian legislation in Poland causes a very
great sensation. The ecclesiastical institutions are de-
prived of the independent encouragement of their estates.
The State fetters the land with the condition that the
peasants shall be emancipated during the lease. The
clergymen are thus deprived of a great portion of their
influence, and a prospect opened to the peasant of be-
coming in time a free landowner.

COLONZAL

SIICIAR.—A good business has been doing in British

vious rates. The public sales have contained 123
casks Barbadoes, 7,269 bags 89 casks 'Mauritius, 4,696
bags and 150' casks Bengal. The Barbadoes chiefly
found buyers, but at still lower prices, viz. 56s to 63s for
mid greyish to fine yellow. The Mauritius and Ben-
gal went off very heavily and irregularly, and at most
instances at a decline of is to is 6d, the greatest re-
duction being on the inferior sorts. About two-thirds
found buyers at 40s to 535, for very low soft to fine
brown Mauritius, low to fide yellow, ditto 53s 6d to 631,,
very low soft brown date kind to mid brown Khaur
Bengal, 37s 6d to 46s 6d; fine soft yellow to fine strong
crystalised ditto, 57s' to 67s 6d; and low soft to good

There was a steady -hissiness done in Cotton at Liver-
pool yesterday, the sales being 5;000 bales, all to the

As usual, preparatory to the close of the financial
quarter, there is an increased demand for money, and
first-class bills have been done at 24 per cent., while the
Bank is stated to be doing nothing under 3 per cent.
Upon payment of the dividends, however, there will be
ampler supplies of cash in the discount market. It is
so far fortunate that new railway projects, and tolerable
activity in trade, serve to absorb the surplus, and to
check the desire to engage in foreign loans, companies,
or hazardous ventures. Even the reduction of interest on
the State debts of certain continental kingdoms will have
the salutary effect of making parties better contented with
sterling British securities, the high rate of interest of-
fered by the American and Peninsular Governments
having ever proved a tempting bait, but eventually a
serious loss.
The advices received from the United States yesterday
respecting the prospects of resumption are not consi-
dered so favourable as was expected. The latest parti-
culars of the Cotton trade from a New York paper, fully
confirm the impression entertained here by those not
engaged iu undue speculation in the staple, that there
would be a crop of 2,000,000 bales.
We learn in the Canada advices that the interment of
Mr. Samuel Street, the great merchant of Canada, had
taken place with much pomp. The wealth of the de-
ceased is stated to be exct edingly large, especially taking
into account the value of money, and the relative means
of individuals in colonies, and his death excited corre-
sponding interest.
The English Funds are very firm again this morning,
and we quote a further slight advance. Consols for
immediate transfer have been 1004 to 4, and for time
1004 to 1004. Exchequer Bills were at the premium of
745. to 76i. ; and India Bonds at 945. to 955. East
India Stock has realised 289, and Bank Stock for Account
has touched at 210.
The foreign investments sustain the full value of
yesterday. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 241, and
the Three per Cents. 354 to 4. Mexican are quoted
without the April dividend, at 35 to 354. The Deferred
are 154 to 16. Buenos Avres Stock is 364 ; Braxilian,
ex. div., 874 ; and Colombian, 144 to is Chilian De-
ferred are 524. French Fire per Cents. obtain 119 f. 50e.
Dutch Five per Cents., ex. div., 981.
There is very little doing in Railway Shares, but the
holders of nearly all the lines continue firmer than they
were a few days since. Brighton are 3to 31 discount ;
Birmingham, 118 premium ; Croydon, 3i premium ;
Chester and Holyhead, 14 to 2 premium, and South-
Eastern, 64 to 4 premium. The Joint-Stock Bank shares
are dull.

ATTORNEYS' CERTIFICATES.—A notice has been
ssued in respect of the forms of declaration under the
6th and 7th of Victoria, cap. 73, at the office of the Re-
gistrar of Attorneys and Solicitors. By the first rule,
" No declaration can be acted upon which does not con-
tain all the particulars required by the Act of Parlia-
ment." Secondly, "Every declaration must be delivered
at the office six days before a certificate can be granted."
Thirdly, "No certificate will be delivered out till Wed-
nesday, Nov. 20." Fourthly, "In the first six days,
commencing on Nov. 20, certificates will be delivered
only to such London agents as shall in due time pre-
viously have sent in the declaration of themselves and
their country clients, accompanied by a list thereof or-
ranged in alphabetical order and writtenon foolscap
paper bookwise." Fifthly, " These six days will be
appropriated among the London agents according to the
letter of their surnames or those of the senior partner in

day, Nov. 25; TtoZ, on Tuesday, Nov. 26. On every
day subsequent to Nov. 26 the certificates will be deli-
vered to the rest of the profession."
BASE COIN.—A large quantity of base coin has
been recently found in a field adjacent to the Links Pot-
tery. One of the men employed on the ground was in
the act of digging clay for the work on Saturday last,
in a marsh or pool, called Mary Fair's Hole, which has
lately been drained, when he turned up with his spade
about 100 half-crowns, besides a considerable amount of
shilling and sixpenny pieces. The` poor fellow was as-
sured he had discovered a prize of no ordinary value ;
but the dazzling vision which met his view of growing
"instant rich" suffered a sudden change, for upon exa-
mination not one of his goupen of silver pieces was found
to be genuine. An immense quantity of the same
species of base metallic ore has been excavated every
day during the week from the same spot. Some juvenile
excavators are carrying it about in baskets. The coin is
impressed with a modern stamp, and part of it has the
date of Isl 9. It is supposed that it has been secreted by
banditti who practised the black art here about twenty
years ago, and who were then suddenly scared away
from their nefarious occupation by the civic authorities.

A GIPSY WEDDIN43.—MaTried Blagdon, Sept.
17, 1844, by the Rev. Daniel Wheeler, Matthew, son of
Joshua Stanley, king of the gipsies, to Martha, second
daughter of John Broadway, of the same tribe after
the ceremony they returned to the Seymour's Aims,
where the wedding dinner was provided by the landlord,
Mr. Hallett, in the best style, and spent the remainder
of the day, returning to their camp, on Blagdon-hill, at
about twelve o'clock at night.. It is estimated that
not less than 400 persons assembled to witness the cere-
mony, and the bells having been set ringing, and the
Blagdon band engaged for the union, the weddingday
and the day following'were kept up as holidays.—Bath
Journal.

THE FATAL EXPLOSION AT
HASWELL COLLIERY.
We have received this day the following additional
particulars relative to this melancholy accident :
DURIIAM, SEPT. 30.—Ten of the men, who were at
the bottom of the shaft, are the only individuals saved.
The last of the bodies of the unfortunate sufferers were
brought to the bank at eight o'clock on Sunday morning,
very few of which are disfigured, and many of them
when found in the mine were in a sitting posture, with
their hands behind their heads, but for the meat part
with their hands clasped, as in the attitude of prayer,
and no doubt lost their lives by the after-damp. As soon
as the explosion was heard, the wives and children of
the workmen ran to the pit ; wildness and terror were
Pictured in every countenance. The crowds from all
sides soon collected, to the number of several hundreds
the screams of women and children were truly heart-
rending—some crying for a husband, others for a parent
or son, and all deeply affected with an admixture of
horror, anxiety, and grief. Almost every house has
sustained some loss ; iu one house it is truly lamentable
—a father, three sons, and a foster-brother, have all
perished. The whole of the underground horses are
destroyed. One horse was found sitting on his hind-
quarters, and the boy close by—both slightly disfigured,
but quite dead. At six o'clock in the evening, the flames
were still at the mouth of the shaft. The cause assigned
for this lamentable catastrophe is a portion of a wall
falling upon one of the lamps of the workmen.

OSBORNE-HOUSE, COWES.--The Earl of Lincoln,
First Commissioner of Woods and Forests, inspected
Osborne-house last week, and workmen have commenced
making such alterations as are considered to be requisite,
which will be completed by the 14th instant. The prin-
cipal alteration is that of constructing passages from:the
principal apartments to the nursery. The whole of the
royal tradesmen have been appointed, and have been
principally selected from amongst those who supplied
her Majesty at Norris Castle during her minority. Earl_
Cadogan (at the Castle), Rear-Admiral Sir William and
Lady Montagu, Lieut.-General Sir C. Egerton, Sir 8..
Graham (Norfolk-house), the Countess of Stradbroke,
Sir Webster, Lady Chichester, &c., are among the
fashionables sojourning at Cowes.
DEATH Or MR. FITZROY COLCLOUG
regret to have to announce the death of the above gen-
tleman, which took place on 'Thursday last, at Winches-
ter, where he had gone only a short time ago on a visit
to his parents. Mr. Colclough had been in a very deli-
cate state of health for some weeks previous to his deaths,
but was only considered in danger a few days before he
expired. Mr. Colclough was Assistant-Surgeon of the
Ist Life Guards, and his loss is deeply regretted by the
officers of, the regiment, by whom he was universally
beloved.
ETON COLLEGE.—A new regulation respecting the
admission of pupils to this College, and which has been
long contemplated, has now been determined upon, a
notice having just been issued by the Rev. Dr. Hawtrey,
the Head Master, that after lEaster next he will not
admit any boy to the school who shall have completed
his 14th year. During the past week the Eton scholars.
have again assembled. Since the vacation, when the
pupils amounted to 751, sixty additional boys have been
entered on the school list. There has been a gradual
yearly increase in the number of the school during the
past ten years. In 1835 the number was only 446.
THE CHAR-A-BANG PRESENTED TO HER MAJESTY
FROM THE KING OF THE FRENen.—This splendid equi-
page, which arrived at Windsor, on the Saturday pre-
viously to the departure of the Court to the north, was
constructed in Paris, and may thus be described :—The
carriage, the panels and wheels of which are painted of
a brilliant French blue colour, is of cousiderable length
and somewhat heavy, weighing upwards of a ton and a.
half. It contains four rows of seats, with sufficient room
on each to accommodate comfortably three persons. The
roof is supported by means of several strong brass rods,
giving to it a very light and elegant appearance. Blinds,
of fawn-coloured silk, are attached to the top of the
brass rods, which pull down by means of a spring, and
are fastened, when required as a protection against the
heat of the sun, to either side of each seat. These
blinds are acted upon by means of a patent spring, and
are drawn up in an instant. The interior is lined with.
silk, of the same colour as the blinds, very elegantly
and tastefully fluted. The cushions are also of the same
colour and materials. It is so constructed that persons
can mount to the two centre compartments with the
greatest ease. The hind division has a door, which opens
at the back, forming, when closed, a part of the seat. The front seat has an apron to protect the feet, similar
to English manufactured four-wheeled open carriages.
Two beautifully executed brass lamps, for wax-lights,
upon which are emblazoned raised crowns, are affixed at
either end of the carriage, two projecting from the sides
of the front seat, and the others from the seat at the
rear. The whole " turn out " is peculiarly light and
elegant, and reflects great credit upon the taste of the
Parisian builder. We understand that it cost upwards
of 15,000 francs. It will be used by her Majesty, for
the first time, upon the arrival of the King of the French
at Windsor.
GREAT PEDESTRIAN MATCH.—The long projected
foot-race of 100 yards between William Robinson, of
Newton-moor, and George Steward, alias Sherrin, was
decided yesterday, in the presence of an immense assem-
blage of amateurs, on the New-road, Hammersmith, ad-
joining the Thatched-house. On account of the pro-
sumed equality of the men, judging by their previous
performances, a more than usual degree of interest
was excited, and the betting, although commencing at
5 and 6 to 4 on Robinson, settled down to even money at
starting. Precisely at half-past two o'clock the men
were brought on the ground, and after no less than nine
false starts went away at full speed, the American having
the advantage by about half a yard, which he continued
increasing until he arrived at the winning post, beating
his antagonist by about two yards. The distance was
run in nine seconds and a half. Sherri!), by this victory,.
has placed himself in the very first rank of runners for
a short distance, and it would be very difficult to find a
competitor who would have any chance with him. It
was generally remarked that more money was laid out
upon this race than upon any similar event for a long
time past.
ROBBING A SAILOR.—Yesterday a sailor, who had
been paid off in the morning, went to take a glass of ale,
when a fellow with a dog, having a collar on it, followed
him and entered into conversation with the sailor. A
third, who appeared a stranger to both, followed, entered
the same house at the same time, and after a short time
laid a wager of 101. with the sailor that the latter could
not unlock the dog's collar ; a wager which was instantly
accepted by the thoughtless tar. The proposer of the
wager put down five sovereigns and a 5/. note, an
example instantly followed by the sailor, who made
several ineffectual efforts to open the padlock of the
collar. Then the owner of the dog said it was useless to
make any further efforts, and went away with the dog,
quickly followed by the supposed stranger, who in tha
first instance proposed the wager, and who, upon his
departure, took up the sailor's instead of his own money.
Thoughtless Jack Tar proceeded to deposit the other
10/. in his fob, when a looker-on, who suspected that all
as not right, advised him to count his cash. Upon his
doing so, instead of " good and lawful coin of the realm,'
he found substituted a flash SI note and five counterfeit
sovereigns.. The poor fellow's distress was great. During
the greater part of the day he was pacing up and down.
Tower-street, Thames-street, and the vicinity, deplor-
ing his loss, as be intended to have brought home to his
family the whole of his savings.
A DOG NINE WEEKS wiTHOUT Poon.—Abort
nine weeks ago a terrier bitch keionging to James Mar-
shall, Greenside, was, thmugh mistake, locked up in a
cellar, and remaitled there till a few days since, when, on-
the door being opened, she was found alive, but in a -sery
feeble condition, She was reduced to skin aiss't bone,
to walk, and almost blind,
I"ving Ileen all that

was partially brought round agaill, And continues to
