INDIA

The mititary news of the month does not possess much
interest. _ . •

The Hyderabad force had returned to that stati-n

There was a great pauc►ty of European officers at Km
rachee and Sukker. _

Lieut. Horne, the Adjutant of the 55th Regiment, was
drowned by the upsetting of a boat in the Khypore dis-
trict.
All officers on staff employ, belonging to corps in Sinde,
had been ordered to join their regiments.
The amount of prise-money at Hyderabad is likely to
prove very considerable.
The troops employed in Scinde at the end of Jane
amounted to about 16,000 men, and a wing of the 78th
and of the 2d Bombay Light Infantry had been sent to
Kurrachee from Bombay. _ _ _

A large force was stated to be assembling for duty in
the Punjaub, on account of recent disturbances there.

SPAIN

Telegraphic derpatches have been received to the fol-
lowing effect :
•' BAYONNE, Oct. B.—The elections of Malaga and
Castalon are for the parliamentary party. They are for
the opposition at Almeira, which rose on the Ist, and pro -
claimed the central junta. The elections of Pontavedra
are equally favourable to the opposition.
"General Concha left Madrid on the evenimr of the 3d,
in order to assume the command of the army of Aragon."
BAYONNR, Cet. 10.—There was an attempt at a ris-
ing in Grendda, on the 27th September. There was fight-
ing ; some persons were wounded. Order was established.
There was no change on the 2d at Almeira, and on the 7th
at Saragossa."

" PXRPIGNAN, Oct. 10.—On the 7th, the junta at-
tempted to storm the citadel of Barcelona, with 1000 of
the 1500 men disposable. They were repulsed with the
loss of 80 men. Bosch, the vice-president of the junta,
was mortally wounded. In consequence of this attack the
citadel and forts fired on the town. The firing ceased in
the evening, and did not recommence on the Bth. The
forts fired only when they were provoked."
The Paris correspondent of the Augsburg Gazette says
that numerous applications continue to be made for the
hand of the Queen of Spain. The family of Francisco de
Paula, the house of Coburg; the Courts of Naples and
Lucca, are endeavouring to exercise their influence with
the five powers, whilst the latter appear to have laid aside
their pretensions. The propriety of the marriage of the
queen with the eldest son of Don Corlos is now recognized
by France, as well as by England, and this is undoubtedly
an important step towards an arrangement between the five
powers. The difficulties, however, are far from being
removed. The conditions on which this marriage is to be
effected, are not yet determined on. France and England
cannot grant to the Prince of Asturias more than the title
of the queen's husband. The conservative courts will pro-
bably yield on this point. particularly as the rights of the
prince and those of the queen meet, and are consolidated

on this

!cession. In supposing that the courts yield
t, a new obstacle will soon arise, and the atnii.

THE NON-INTRUSION QUESTION IN INDIA.--The
ministers of the Scotch 'Kirk at Bombay have joined the
non-intrusionist party, and formally withdrawn them-
selves from their .connection with the Church of Scot-
land.

A MOVING APPISA..L.—TH E EIAGUE, Oct. G.—Yester-
day the wife of Vau Stools, who has been condemned to
death, with her child n her arms fell at the king's feet as
his majesty was leasing. the palace of the Prince of Orange.
His majesty, as may be supposed, could not hold out any
hopes to her; but he treated her with great kindness, and
assisted her to rise.

EPIDEMIC IN THE BP:RMUDAS.—A fatal fever existed
at the Bermuda Islands in August. Lieutenant.-Colonel
Arahin, commanding the artillery, fel! a victim to it; also
Captain Sir H. Chamberlain, Bart., of the Artillery, who
succeeded him; and Adjutant Jenkin, of the Royal En-
gineers. In addition to these officers, 9 gunners, and
drivers of the Royal Artillery, and 37 privates out of a
company of only about 70 Royal Sappers and Miners,
have died, and about 120 of the reserve battalion of the
20th Regiment of the Line at present serving on the Ber-
muda station. We are glad to find by sabsequent accounts
from the islands, that the epidemic was fast subsiding, and
that the number of patients in the hospital, as well as in
private houses, had greatly diminished.
IMMENSE IRON MINE NEAR BALTIMORE.—The
Baltimore Sun says :—" ►tie have th- satisfaction to an-
,nounce, that an immense iron mine has been discovered,
extending along the shore, as well as some distance into
the river. The outer edge of the mine has been walled
up, and large quantities of ore have been raised, which
good judges pronounce to be equal in quality to any that
has been discovered in the United States. The ore is al-
most as heavy as iron itself, and will of course veild largely.
The mine is situated on the ground of the Canton Com-
pany, by whom it is worked, and if it should prove as ex-
tensive as is generally supposed, will greatly enhance the
prospects of this enterprising corporation. A large en-
gine has been reeled, and it is expected that operations
in Smelting will be commenced about Christmas.
EXCLUSIVE EMPLOYMENT OF HOII.SF.S IN THE OR-
DNANCE SERVICE THROUGHOUT INDIA.—By the last
Mail we are informed that the camels attached to Capt.
Whitlie's Bombay battery at Hyderabad have not been
found to answer and the application of these animals to
ordnance draught purposes is now considered a complete
failure. We learn that Sir Charles Napier has ordered
the battery in question to be horsed with all practicable
expedition. Every day's experience serves to prove more
clearly that the horse is the only animal generally suited
for this purpose, and great hopes are entertained the the
present heterogenous system of employing bullocks,
camels, and elephants, will he abandoned, and horses
given to all the batteries throughout India, which is the
only means by which efficient field artillery can be en-
sured.

The Voice of Jacob, a Jewish newspaper, announces
from an authentic source that the execution of the atro-
cious decree of Leo, XII. against the Jews, which was
recently revived by the Inquisitor-General of Ancona,
and some of the clauses of which had been actually put in
force, has been suspended, in consequence of the feeling
exhibited by the press of England and France, and the in-
terference, pehaps, of some influential individuals. But
whilst we have been exclaiming against the oppression of
the Latin Church, the fact appears to have escaped notice,
that a still more iniquitous persecution is now being per-
petrated by the Greek Church, a ukase having been issued
by the Emperor of Russia, by which from 300,000 to half
a million of Jews are ruthlessly expelled from their homes,
without even shelter or sustenance being assigned to them,
on no better plea than that their removal is necessary to
put a stop to the contraband trade on the Polish frontier.

THE LATE CONFLAGRATION AT HAMBURG.—The
senate and people of Hamburg, in grateful acknowledg-
ment of her Majesty's bounty and the liberality of the
English nation, have addressed a letter to the Queen in
suitable terms, signed by the presiding burgomaster, and
forwarded it to their resident here, (Mr. Colquhoun,)
which has been presented to her Majesty. The address is
beautifully written o❑ vellum, and illuminated with gold
and coloured letters. The illustrations and the writing
are executed in the taste which began to prevail in the
beginning of the sixteenth century, combining classic an-
tiquity with the gothic, and forming a fantastic style usa-
ally designated the renaissance. The artist, Mr. James
Gensler, of Hamburg, has succeeded in expressing power-
fully the proofs of good and friendly feeling, and the vi-
gorous assistance afforded to Hamburg during the calamity
of the fire, and has refrrred to the ancient relations with
the mighty empire of Great Britain.

ARTESIAN WLLL IN WRSTPIIALIA.—It is intended to
bore to a depth of 2000 metres (a mile and a quarter
English). and at that depth, it is supposed that the water
will be of the enormous heat of 70 centigrade. The
borers have reached a depth of 622 metres. To that
depth, the augmentation of temperature had not followed
the ordinary law, which, according to M. de Humboldt,
was owing to the cooling of the column of air by the
waters of filtration from above ; but once arrived at 622
metres, the ascensionsl force was so great as to drive back
tLe water of the upper sources, and the ordinary law was
re-established. It is the intention of the French govern-
ment to make an artesian well in the Jardin des Plantes,
of a depth of 900 metres—viz., 200 metres more than that
of Greoelle. The water from the artesian well of the
Jardin de,, Plantes will, it is supposed, be of a tempera-
ture of 31 centigrade, and it is to serve to heat the hot-
houses of the gardens, and supply the hospitals of La
Pitie and La Salpetriere, which will effect an enormous
economy as to fuel.

RUMOURED ATTEMPT ON THE LIFE OF THE EMPEROR
OF Russt&.—Both the Prussian Gazelle and the Augs-
burg Gazelle make mention of an alleged attempt on the
life of the Emperor of Russia on the 19th ult. The for-
mer paper says that either a gun or pistol was fired at a
late hour in The evening close to the imperial Chancery's
carriage when it wai passing the Wallischei suburbs. The
Augsburg Gazette says, " It is rumoured that twenty
shots were fired at the Emperor and his suite, and that by
a miracle nobody was wounded." It is not known whe-
ther the occurrence arose from design or inadvertence.
Some persons in the neighbourhood heard the explosion,
but deenning it a joyful demonstration, took no notice of
it. Several arrests have taken place at Warsaw ; nil a
plot against the life of the Emperor was talked of. The
The investigation at the latter city will probablf show
whether the alleged machinations there be connected with
the alleged attempt at Posen.

Loss or THE MEMNON.—Further particulars.—On
Thursday week a brief and hastily written letter from a
gentleman at Aden, connected with the Peninsular and
Oriental Steam Navigation Company, was received by
their secretary, which communicates the gratifying intel:

.
li2ence that there were only seven instead of one hundred
and seventy passengers, who endured the personal suffer-
ing and loss of property consequent on the wreck of the
ill-fated steamer. Five of these were enabled to reach
Aden in safety ; the remaining two, a lady and gentle-
man, were, at the time the letter was sent off, with the
crew, encamped at a village called Uloolab, about twenty
miles from the scene of the wreck. On their mai ch to
thoulah their fatigue and sufferings must have been very
great, as the heat was so intolerable as to affect one of
the crew with brain fever, and who, melancholy to relate,
in a tit of delirium, dashed out his brains against a rock.
A steam-boat had been dispatched from Aden to fetch
the above unfortunate individuals from liloolah, who will
be brought to England in a few days by the Peninsular
and Oriental Steam Company's vessel, the Oriental.

A DANCER IN TROUBLE.—A letter from Berlin states
that Mademoiselle Lola Montez, the Spanish dancer, who
has been for some time much admired iu that city for her
great talent, is likely to be put in prison for some time.
The day of the grand review she was present on horseback,
and kept at some distance from the royal crrage. When,
however, the firing began her horse took fright, and
rushed amongst the suite of the two sovereigns. A gen-
darme ordered her to fall back, and at the same time gave
a blow with the flat of his sabreto her horse. Feeling ir-
ritated at such a liberty, abe struck the man across the
face with her whip. He was cool enough to keep quiet,
and merely lodged a complaint against her. The next
day a hussier handed her a summons to appear in court
to answer the charge. As soon as she learned what the
paper meant, she tore it in pieces, and thieve it her feet.
The hussier at once went for the public force, and had her
arrested for having manifested marks of disrespect to the
orders of justice—a misdemeanour punishable with from
three to five years imprisonment. Mademoiselle Montez,
who is the daughter of a deceased Spanish general, is only
19 years of age.
