EUROPEAN MERCANTILE 'House AT BUSHIRE.—We
were favoured with the following extract of a letter, dated at
Bushire on the 4th of May. It contains information which
will, we dare say, prove interesting to our mercantile friends :
" A mercantile house has been established in this place under
the denomination of Floyd, Mills, and Co. They purpose hav-
ing establishments for the sale of European goods by whole-
sale—at Shiraz, Ispahan, Bagdad, Bussorah, Bahrein, and
Muscat, and they will do business on a very large scale. They
intend to have a steamer employed on the river Tigris, to carry
their goods to and from Bagdad. They intend sending home
wool, gums, silks, &c., and if they are careful, and can over-
come the combinations which the Persian merchants will raise
against them, they will probably make a profitable speculation.
It is at any rate a bold one. They have letters from the Fo-
reign Secretary to the Court of Persia, and no obstacles will be
thrown in their way in that quarter. Dr. Floyd was surgeon
to the expedition which explored the River Euphrates. under
Colonel Chesney. The Bushire native merchants dread the
influence that will accrue to these enterprising people, and offer
to buy all their goods at %shire on condition that none is sent
up the country."—Bombay Gentleman's Gazette.
DREADFUL OUTRAGE AT WEST TILBURY.—It is
our painful duty to record an outrage scarcely exceeded in the
annals of crime, which occurred in the parish of West Tilbury,
oil the night of Sunday last. At about half-past ten on the
nir,ht in question, a person, said to be of the name of Rutledge,
a master blacksmith, at Brentwood, was returning in that
direction, with his wife, from Tilbury Fort. When about

embarkation on Tuesday, the sth instant, on board the barque
Ramilies for the West Indies. The woman was at the time
some distance in :licence of her husband, and was attacked in
the most ferocious manner by the men in question. Her cries
brought her husband speedily to her assistance, who was in-
stantly knocked down by their bludgeons,and received such severe
wounds in the head that he is now lying at West Tilbury without
any hope of recovery. :The miscreants then directed their
violence once more against the woman, and all three are repre-
sented, notwithstanding her vigorous resistance, to have com-
mitted a capital offence upon her person, the details of which
are wholly unfit for publication. They then stripped their
victims of the property they bad about them, and made off in
the direction of the fort. By this time, however, the cries of
the sufferers had collected persons from the neighbourhood,
who pursued and captured the villains, who were taken next
morning before the Rev. H. S. Hele, at Grays, and by him
remanded. The accused are Irish, and are said to have been
intoxicated, having been drinking the whole evening at West
Tilbury. On Tuesday they were brought before the bench of
Magistrates at Orsett, Essex, apon the twofold charge of
post-
poned high-
way robbery and violation. The :examination had
from a former day, the complainant and his wife being
too ill to attend, owing to the injuries they had received, and
from which, it is feared, that one of the parties is not likely to
recover. After the examination of the prosecutrix, the Chair-
man asked her if she coutd swear positively as to the prisoners
being the party by whom she and her husband were assaulted ?
The prosecutrix said she had not the least doubt as to their
identity. They were committed for trial at the next assizes
upon both charges.
SERIOUS COLLIERY ACCIDENT.—An accident of a
very serious character occurred on Saturday morning last at
Moira Colliery, near Ashby-de-la-Zouch, from an explosion of
hydrogen gas in the Bath pit, from the effects of which three
persons died and fifteen others were seriously injured, several
of whom are so dangerously hurt as almost to preclude the hope
of their recovery. An inquest was held on Monday before
J. Gregory, Esq., Coroner, when it appeared that the gas by
which the explosion was caused had exuded from the roof of
the pit, and that no blame was attributable to the managers of
the colliery.
