FOREIGN AND COLONIAL.

THE OVERLAND MAIL.
The Overland Mail has arrived, bringing dates from
Calcutta to the Ist, Madras to the 9th, and Bombay to
the Ist June.
At Lahore, General Khan Singh, of the Sikh Artillery,
had been discovered heading a plot to allure our Sepoys
from their allegiance, and had been hanged by order of
the Resident, along with a Moonshee of the Ranee, simi-
larly implicated. -It was expected that important infor-
mation would be gleaned from a third culprit, who had
been reprieved at the gallows on that condition. About
twenty other persons were in custody on the same charge.
The engineers were occupied in raising a parapet around
the whole inner edge of the rampart at Lahore, and by
every possible means strengthening and isolating the
works occupied by the troops. A large magazine ot•arms
in the city, furnished of old by Runjeet Singh, had been
undermined by order of the Resident, and blown up. It
was said that the populace had begun► to help themselves
to arms from 'that arsenal. The strictest garrison duty
was being maintained, and every officer had been called in
from the districts. There are no grounds of serious alarm
as to the ultimate issue of affairs at the Sikh capital.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1848-08-01

ITALY,

At Turin fears were entertained for the monarchy. The
Austrians had completely succeeded in all their operations,
and, with 20,000 men who had marched to join Radetsky,
they had passed the Mincio at several points. Even the
fortress of Peschiera was closed to the Piedmontese troops.
A fearful panic prevailed throughout Lombardy.
INSURRECTION AGAINST THE POPE.—The legations
have broken out in open insurrection against the pope.
The cause of this movement, which menaces a complete
separation of the legations from the Pontifical States, is
the part which the pope has taken with reference to the
war of independence in Lombardy. A provisional govern-
ment has been formed at Bologna, charged with the con-
duct of the war so far as concerns the legations, quite
independent of any authority derived from Rome. The
question of the annexation of the legations with Tuscany,
or their union with the new kingdom of Upper Italy, has
bean debated.

Our Spanish letters state that the Queen was better,
and that 2,000 convicts at Valladolid revolted, murdered
their guards, and fled into the country with the intention
of joining the Montemolinists.
THE CHOLERA.—We have just received advices from
St. Petersburgh by the Rob Roy. When she left the
worst stages of the disease were past, people's minds were
more easy, and business and activity were again visible.
The general impression is, that the effects of the disease
have been far more terrible than in 1831. It is calcu-
lated that 100,000 persons fled from the city of pestilence
in terror and alarm, the larger proportion of whom were
of the lower orders, who perished by thousands by the
road side, from exposure and famine, the villagers refu-
sing to succour them ; these will not be included in the
city returns. The public works had all been stopped.
The accounts from the interior are very distressing, par-
ticularly from Astrachan, where the chief and two sons
had perished. At St. Petersburgh, for some days the
cases were 1200 daily, and in the earlier stage very few
recovered, but latterly almost all were restored. It is
mentioned as a curious fact, that all the crows, with which
the city abounds, left when the cholera appeared, and
returned when its virulence ceased. There was a violent
thunder-storm on the 11th, which would have the effect
of arresting the disease, if there be really any faith to be
placed in the alleged cause, that it arose from the absence
of electricity in the air. The Emperor has behaved nobly.
He visited the city nearly every day, and suppressed by
his presence the risings of a popular tumult in his usually
decisive and well-judged manner. Fourteen of the Eng-
lish residents have died. The total number of cases from
the 4th of June to the 3rd of July (old style) was 15,414 ;
deaths, 8,700. On the 4th July, 3,843 cases were under
treatment.—Hull Packet.

ROWLANDS' HAIR WASH.

of peculiarly mild and detersive properties. It pleasingly and
effectually cleanses the HAIR and SKIN of the HEAD from
Scurf and every species of impurity, and imparts a delicate
fragrance. It is particularly recommended to be used after
BATHING, as it will prevent the probability of catching cold in
the head, and will render the hair dry in a few minutes.—Price

man named Mr. Peter Rainsworth Rigby, who paid his
addresses to her, and in 1825, they were married and
lived together until 1836. Some three years after their
marriage, they met, at a dinner party, a gentleman who
had just returned from the Mauritius, and Mrs. Rigby
having, in the course of the evening, asked him if he
had ever met Mr. Fox, he replied that he had dined with
Mr. and Mrs. Fox on the day of his leaving for England.
This unexpected intelligence, as might be well supposed,
produced a most unpleasant feeling in the minds of Mr.
and Mrs. Rigby, but they notwithstanding continued to
live together until 1836, when Mr. Rigby, deserted Mrs.
Fox, and went to reside at Liverpool, where he'possessed
considerable property, Some three years after Mrs. Fox
proceeded to Liverpool, where she discovered that Mr.
Rigby had taken unto himself a wife ;- and in 1840 he
(Mr. Rigby) executed a bond, by which he undertook to
give Mrs. Fox £4O a year, to be paid quarterly, provided
she did not annoy him or his wile in any way. He kept
up the payments regularly until about 12 months since,
when, without assigning the slighteSt cause for doing so,
he discontinued them, and the consequence was, that Mrs.
Fox had been compelled to part with her trinkets and
everything she possessed to support her Self, and all her
means being now exhausted she was compelled to apply
for parochial relief. Mr. Thorndike said that Mr. Fox
was not now living. He was killed at the Mauritius in
1834, through the horse in his carriage taking fright.
Mr. Norton said that lie hoped that now the case was
made public the friends of the poor woman would do
something for her. The parties then withdrew.

NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE CORN MARKET,
JULY 29.

The weather to-day seems to be improving, but during the
week it was boisterous and unsettled, consequently the crops
have made but little progress. Our letters received during the
week speak very unfavourably of Potatoes, but as yet the com-
plaints are few in this distrier. and so unimportant as scarcely to
bear mentioning. The trade since this day se'nnight, influ-
enced by the exciting reports from other markets, has assumed
much firmness, the sales effected in Wheat and Flour on Tues-
day being at an advance of fully Is. to 2s. per qr. and Is. per
sack respectively, other articles at the same time enjoying more
attention at rather higher prices. At oar market this morning
we had a better supply of Wheat from the growers, and having
very little offering front the coast, fresh thrashed samples were
taken off at an enhancement of 2s. per quarter, and-what busi-
ness transpired in south country qualities and foreign, was at a
similar improvement, but the trade upon the whole closed dull.
For Flour there was a fair steady inquiry, and we raise our quo-
tations Is. per sack. but our millers, we understand, advanced
their price 3s. per sack, whether, however, the advance be sus-
tained, will he mainly contingent upon circumstances. Rye
unaltered. Barley continues in good request, and a clearance
has been generally made at last week's prices. Choice season-
made Malt supports its value, but inferior descriptions nre
almost totally unsaleable. Beaus much the same, but boiling
Pease, owing to the unfavourable reports regarding Potatoes,
have commanded more attention, and evince an advancing ten-
dency. Having only a moderate show of Oats from the coun-
try, and the arrivals being equally so, sales were more freely
effected, at an advance of Is. per quarter. The duty on Wheat
is Is. lower ; on other grain there is no change.
Wheat, perqr. —Northumberland, red, old.. Os. to Os.
Ditto, ditto, Ditto, white, news4s. to 51s.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, Jul* 28

Although there has been rather less inquiry this week from
the trade, who have purchased largely of late, the sales continue
to he considerable. Business during the last few days has been
unfavourably influenced by the reports of the state of things in
Ireland, and by bad weather; the marker, consequently, has
been rather more in favour of buyers. The reports from Ire-
land having proved totally unfounded, and the weather being
again fine, the market closes with a feeling of more confidence,
and there is no material change to notice in last week's quota-
tions.. Taken on speculatum 2700 American, and for export
4530 American, 1540 Pernam, and 30 Surat. There have been
forwarded during the month into the country unsold, 16,680

the members the necessity of activity on their part, as the
best means to ensure permanent prosperity to the insti-
tution.

Mr. W. MATCIIET would propose the thanks of the
members to their secretary, Mr. Bignold, whose explana-
tions of the affairs had given so much satisfaction to all
present. The motion was unanimously carried.
Mr. BIGNOLD thanked the members for their good opi-
nions, and assured them of his best efforts at all times for
the furtherance of their interests. He said it was the first
year of a quinquiennial series, leading to the next bonus ;
and that there was a most satisfactory prospect of a hand-
some one ; while the low premiums for lives under 45
years of age, was a most important advantage to the mem-
bers. The meeting then broke up.

MONEY MARKET-YESTERDAY.

The political advices from Italy have commanded much at-
tention in the moneyed circles this morning. The information
from Dublin still exercises the chief influence in the stock and
money markets, and the Dublin intelligence of last night being
favourable, everything down to that period remaining tranquil,
we have had very little fluctuation in the funds. Consols
opened at 86 to 2 ; from this they receded 4 per cent., namely
to 86 (sellers), but soon rallied to the opening value of 86i to
2. Exchequer Bills, 335. to 375. prem.

SHERDON AND JACKSON'S SIX-MILE MATCH FOR
£2OO AND THE CHAMPIONSHIP OF ENGLAND.—This
exciting event, which has been looked forward to with
lively interest, came off yesterday week, at Hyde Park,
Sheffield, and attracted such a concourse of spectators as
rarely, if ever, assembled together on any similar occa-
sion. At the time of the start there could not be far
short of 10,000 persons on the ground. Soon after Jack-
son had entered on his last round he gave up the race,
and left Sherdon to finish the distance alone, which he
did in 33 minutes, amidst shouts of applause from his
friends the Sheffielders, who win a pretty good stake.
COCK FIGHT EXTRAORDINARY.—A person noted in the
training of cocks for the above pastime went to a farm
house in the neighbourhood of Lee Fair, near Alverthorpe,
to purchase two game cocks. After the bargain was
struck, the " gentleman" commenced swaggering of the
good qualities of a cock of his training, whereupon the
lady of the farm house challenged, that one of hers should
fight his for a load of wheat, which was agreed upon. The
fight came off on Monday week, and to the astonishment
of the I" gentleman" his cock showed the white feather,
and ran away'. It afterwards turned out that it was a
hoax on the part of the lady, who had applied the pepper
box pretty freely under the wings and feathers of her bird,
which, at the " meeting in combat" had blinded its 9-
ponent. Of coursdthe proprietor of the vanquished feelg
himself terribly aggrieved, and has since killed the.bird.

INDIA.

We have received by express from Marseilles our ad-
vices from India- in anticipation of the overland mail of
the 19th of June. The dates thus received are—from
Calcutta to the Bth, Madras to the 10th.. and Bombay to
the 19th of June.

This mail brings the satisfactory intelligence of decided
successes, on two separate occasions, by the Sikh troops
and irregulars under the British district officers, over con-
siderable bodies of the Mooltan rebels. To explain this
news in detail, we must premise that the force under
Lieutenant Edwardes, alluded to in our advices by the
former mail, had early advanced with success some dis-
tance into the Mooltan districts and occupied Leia, where
the gallant lieutenant met intelligence of the death of his
friends at Mooltan and. orders from Lahore to recross the
Indus, and to content himself with securing his position
in the Bunnoo provinces. His Sikh force, which at first
was greatly weakened by desertion, he subsequently re-
organized by enlistments of Patans and Mussulmans.
The Rajah of Bhawalnore also bad rendered important
service in co-operating in favour of the corps, and had
1 given a check to a party of the enemy sent against it.
Subsequently, a body of lately enlisted Patans, whom
Lieutenant Edwardes had detached to attack one of the
petty chiefs, ably performed that service, taking the
enemy's only gun, and putting the hostile body to flight
with some loss. After this Lieutenant Edwardes joined
Colonel Cortlandt, commanding in a contiguous district
of the Dera, and who had.also been able to enlist a good
number of Patans in his corps. A second engagement
took place on the same day (20th May), this move-
ment was effected, and its success, on our part, was deci-
sive. The enemy suffered great slaughter, with the loss
of two guns and five swivel pieces ; their chief was killed,
and one of second note-taken prisoner. The corps under
the British officers now hold possession of the forts of
the Dera and the fine of the Indus. The enemy's force
in the field at present consists of about 3000 men and
eight guns ; while that of Edwardes and Cortlandt com-
prise three mixed Sikh regiments, 1000 Irregular Horse,
eight guns, and 20 swivel pieces. Their levies are said to
have fought bravely, to be under good control, and show
no disposition to fraternize with the rebels. A small body
of Beloochees, under one of their chiefs, had joined the
English standard and done excellent service.

"James Pollard, aged 20 years, residing at 65, Preston-street,
had suffered from a most inveterate scrofulous complaint of
the head from the early age of four years; his head was a
complication of such accumulated disease, so loathsome to the
sight, so offensive to the smell, and altogether so repulsive,
that those who were under the necessity of attending upon him,
performed that service with reluctance. He had been under
the care of different gentlemen of the medical profession, com-
bining all the skill and talent of this neighbourhood. He was
also a patient for ten months in the Liverpool Infirmary, and
six mouths at the Dispensary ; but there the combined skill of
the most eminent of the faculty was defeated, as the individual
exertions had before been. As a last effort he was placed under
the care of Mr. Taylor, who succeeded in effecting a perfect
cure, and he is now well, healthy, clean, and strong, and likely
to have a good head of hair.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, JULY 29.

The weather has assumed a threatening aspect, and we have
continued and increased accounts of the spread of the potatoe
disease. Our stocks here are light, almost beyond precedent,
and, as a natural consequence, every article of the trade has,
since our last report, realized advanced prices. A large busi-
ness has been doing in Liverpool during the week, and also at
Wakefield' yesterday Wheat selling readily at an advance of 3s.
per quarter. To-day our market is well attended, and. though
the extreme rates demanded have a tendency to confine trans-
actions to a limited compass, every article is held with great
firmness. Wheat is 4d. to Gd. per bushel; Flour 2s. to 3s. per
sack ; Oats Id. to 2d. per bushel ; Meal Is. per load, and Beans
Is. per qr. dearer than on Saturday last. No change in Malt or

PETERBOROUGH CORN MARKET, JULY 29.

We have a large supply of Wheat for this any's market, but
the; is very little Spring Grain offering. Wheat is a ready sale
at Is. per quarter above late rates. No change in the value of
Barley, Oats, and Beans. The prospect of the Wheat crop is
not so good in this district as it was two or three weeks since.

NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE CORN MARKET,
JULY 29.

The weather to-day seems to be improving, but during .the
week it was boisterous and unsettled, consequently the crops
have made but little progress. Our letters received during the
week speak very unfavourably of Potatoes, hut as yet the com-
plaints are few in this district and so unimportant as scarcely to
bear mentioning. The trade since this day se'nnight, influ-
enced by the exciting reports from other markets, has assumed
much firmness, the sales effected in Wheat and Flour on Tues-
day being at an advance of tally is. to 2s. per qr. and Is. per
sack respectively;other articles at the sametime enjoying more
attention at rather higher prices. At our market this morning
we had a better supply of Wheat from the growers, and having
very little offering from the coast, fresh thrashed samples were
taken off at an enhancement of 28. per quarter, and what busi-
ness transpired in south country qualities anti foreign, was at a
similar improvement, but the trade upon the whole closed doll.
For Flour there was a fair steady inquiry, and we raise our quo-
tations is. per sack, but our millers, we understand, advanced
their price 3s. per sack, whether, however, the advance be sus-
tained, will he mainly contingent upon circumstances. Rye
unaltered. Barley continues in good request, and a clearance
has been generally made at last week's prices. Choice season-
made Malt supports its value, but inferior descriptions are
almost totally unsaleable. Beans much the same, but boiling
Pease, owing to the unfavourable reports regarding Potatoes,
have commanded more attention, and evincean advancing ten-
dency. Having only a moderate show of Oats from the coun-
try, and the arrivals being equally so, sales were more freely
effected, at an advance of Is. per quarter. The duty on Wheat
is is. lower ; on other grain there is no change.
