A more proper object of sympathy and feindEtds I know not—the more fit , therefore , to be selected as au object on whom to exhibit your new system of tenure Uatil that day ( the SOth of April , } she had formed one of tbe congregation with wtc-ni , for years , I had worshipped in piison . She could noi endure the indignity which yonr "New Kules" i mpest-d—she remained in her cell , as did three others , * ho , since I came to this place , have always attended church . No honours the -world can give will be U > you a recompense for the curse vout trime eniures .
The privations you have uo * w itflicied on the nC happy inhabitants of Lady GBaHam s Nnnnery , are greater than those to which the female felons in Newgate are snbjrct If you are aware of tbtir condition , and persist in continuing your harsh regulations , you have not tbe heart of a man . The felons in Newgate are provided with tbe necessaries of life , but the female prisoners here are debarred that sort of commanicition , without which they are unable to provide for themselves If I could but make my readers sensible of tbe agonies of mind , tbe undeserved tortures , which your
" T * ew Rules" have already occasioned to tbe unhappy female prisoners , ( some of them as uucSending aa they are defenceless , ( and which is most likely to issue in aadness or premature death . I am sure that a voice wocld be raided fiom every corner of the land where woman is honoured ar-d beloved—a cry t > . at Wi . uld fce echoed In tbt > Queen ' s Palace . Then , be who had been the author i f » o muct wanton injustice and crut lty towards some of the weakest and worthiest of ber Majesty ' s s-arj . cts , -would feel the -weight of Koyal aisplt&sure . and ever after carefully hide himself from the gaze of man .
It has been the habit of my life to raise my voice in defence of the innoctnt , the helpless , tbe oppressed . I cannot be siient here- Depend upon it , Sir , you are hastening the c / isis—you are paving the way to your own fall—ywi are her ? pr » viding a futaxm on which I can rest a lever that wiil be your overthrow . Strong as tbe Givernment may be , Justice is stronger . 1 am not dismayed . My body only is in prison;—at no former period of my life has the influence of my pen produced so great a . u effect on public opinion . Be warned in time ; repent , restore to those poor female prisoners tbe rights , the purchased rights , of which you have harshly and unjustly deprived them . Perhaps you will be regardless of my warning , as wtre yoor predecessors . They denpised the day of small things—they laughed at the litUe / octory-cloud , wbicb , twelve years ago , hovered over Fixbf , no larger than a man ' 8 band . Tbey went on , and are punished .
If , like them , you turn a deaf ear to the voice of warning , in their fill you may see yonr fate . The factories and the bastiles were their gravts—Lsdy Graham ' s nunnery -will be yours . I am told that these brutal wrongs on the female prisoners ^ ere suggested by a clergyman ! If it be so , well may the church be in danger , not so much , however , from her open enemies as from such clergymen . Once more I appeal ta you . Fancy that your wife and daughters , being innocent , having been deprived of their purchased rights , were pent up in that offensive yard—shut out from air raid exercise—uaable without personal degradation to attena the House of God . Remember-who hath said—" All things whatsoever ye would that men should do U > you , do ye even so to them , for this is the law and tbe prophets . " Do that , Sir , and when you are again tempted , follow the example of Christ , who said to yonr tensptsr ' s master"GET THEE BEH 1 KDMB . SATAK . "
- Having detained you so long on these prison matters , perhaps you would be glad if I change tbe subject Excuse roe . There is another point on which I will discharge my conscience . I must be plain , and speak in language btfittimr the fee lings of my heart . Ere now , I have wept for others' wrongs and sufferings , and have strove for redrew—I have a claim on Christian sympathy—I will awert thai claim . I am a married man . I am told , on good anthority , that tbe " New Rules , * which , I am inforn ; pn , have been drawn up by a clergyman and adopted by you ,
will yfcry shortly be enforced , arid that they u-itl separate mCkfi and tci / e . I am led to expect that that infliction of unbearable tyranry—ibat outrage upon Christianity—that unendurable torture , will shortly fall upon myself . I shall not envy you . Sir , even tbeu . It may be that this rule has aforetime betn enforced . If so , it is obselete , because of its brutality . Since I was a prisoner , Mrs Oastlee . has never been refused admission and residenee , nor baa the wife of scy other prisoner , to my knowledge—* be only condition imposed being propriety of conduct .
A clergyman , ( not that one who has drawn out my divorce , but still a clergyman of tb ' j Established Church j ¦ w ho is called the amfeassadsr of tbe living God , once declared at tbe Altar , in the name of bis Divine Master , respecting MaET an > 1 RICHARD OasTLER— " THOSE WHOM GOD HATH JOINED TOGETHER LET NP MAN PUT ASUNDER . " He waa quite serious upon that occasion—I was serious to *—so was my wife . Twenty-six 7 tar 3 have ratified that deed—many trials have sanctified it . It shall cot be needlessly nu . lifled . Recollect , that God sanciioi . e ' . t , and the Chuicb sealed j that contract- That to cot one of your modern liberalized " unions "—Oiat -was a church marriage , soiemt ;; zrd by a religious ri e . Gjd kas declared that Tnan sLail no : break thai b-nd . If ytu dare to do so , I '
warn you , I warn you most solemnly If you ar * invested with a power to tear my wile from me—that POWIB ] £ > "OT OF God . As his follower I am bound to protest apsiaet it . Most soltmnly , in His name , I do . Before God and His Courcb I have vowed that " Death alone shall part us . " G . wi and tLe Church have sanctioned that vow , and pronounced that we be man and tci / e " TOGITHEB "—* ' ! o remain in perfect love and peace together , arid live accordinj to Hi * fairs '— " so to live together in this life , thai in the uvrld to come we may have life everlasting " Mark , "together , ' notseparate— " together according to Qod ' t laws . " Wi : ! you dare , by a prison-rule , at the instance of a clergyman , to break tbe law of God ? Beccllect , Sir , debtors are not criminals .
Bethink you of those rigbteoui , holy sayingB—of 'he authority of the Cbuich . Ttey were not spoken in j ? st ; tbey ara licked to the finest and holiest principle *—to tbe strongest tks and feelings of oatuie . Tfcey are net sport ; Bui will it be sport if tbey are ruthlessly invatltd . There is a point beyond which " passive obedience ' wonJd he crimiRsL Be careful not to rtacb that peiDt . You have jomttinies professed a strong attaibiceDt to tbe Church of England—hove then dire j ou issue an order to sever her strongest , ber holiest t ' . es ?
Well , then , if a DEMON , wan is forticiden to do it ; > Gad ' s o-w-D -words are— " L--t no Man put as-under ' ) — I sst , Sir , if > demo >' , in the cuitume of a clM £ yrran , b :-s cur ^ ii to ad-vise yen to be ihu instrument of : separaticr n : e from n-y wife , if you listen to thst sug- ' cettion cf Satan , you will hr . ve giver couee of qcarrel , " persoital quarrel , bttween me and yourself , the cotseqntnees of fetich I will not predict .

Argument is unneceseary—you inotv that the fecta are as I have stated . Dj you hope thus to satisfy England , Christian England ? Ah , bir , you are but a schoolboy in your office 1 Clause 11 ih gives the power in water mills to work np lost time . That is unjust The owners have a vested Interest in their property , but not in the liven of the factory children . Their property is liable to floctuate in value by fl-jods or drought—it is not just to injure tbe children in order to give greater value to water-mills . Ciau * e 13 th—The times fer mealB shoulii vary to suit the customs and habits of different dtBtricts and different conntries—Scotland and England to wit .
Chnse 23 rd—Wages should be paid to the operative dutCg bis confinement from work occasioned by accidents ; ; o also should the doctor's bill be paid by the employer . Claune 30 th—There is no limit to the number of sub-inspectors ; Thus ft wide door is open for patronage . Tbe whole acheme of inspection Is unconstitutional—to prescribe no limit to the number of sub-inspectors is most dan s ? eroDS . Clause 40 th—The degree of relationship between tbe magistrate and mill-owners should be extended—i . e . father-in-law , son-in-law , 4 a Those magistratea should be excluded from all interference under this Act Clause 43 rd—Children shonld not be taxed with the payment of tn « surgeon ' s certificates .
Clausa 49 th—This is a wanton fraud upon the children . Ha-viiiif onco paid for the surgeon ' s certificate , surely it btenraes tb « child ' s own property , in which be has u veited right It is manifestly udjusi to rrquiro the child asum to submit to a tax on changing his place of labour . Clause Iu 7 co , as it appears to me , gives a license In very large concerns to break the law almost with impunity . The gain in such huge mills might exceed tbe penalty . After the third offence imprisonment should be awarded . Let tbete observations suffice ; but remember , no Factory Act which includes the system of Belaya can ever answer the [ benevolent purposes of Michael Thomas Sadler ; nor can any such Act be productive of that amelioration in the condition of the working classes which the factory people deserve;—nay , such an Act will bi an aggravation of the evil it is intended to remove .
I Delay as much as you choose ^—pervert , prev&n- ' ' cate , and perplex as you will—nothing is more cer-, taip , than that to have efficient Jaw on this subject ,, j you must adhere to simplicity—to be efficiest , j i o > e of two principles must be adopted—j j either the imprisonment of offenders , or j the suspension of the operations of the j moving power . How many more years shall be lost in the contest 1 between Truth and Wealth , between Justice and I Covetousness ? It is for you , not me , to answer that ¦ question . I will , in my next , if I have opportunity , discuss j : the sabjoct of Education as propounded in your Bill , '
. premising thai a useful national education nust have 1 reference to the body as well as' tho mind—to ' 1 tbe physical , as well as the mental developement . 1 And also , that such education ought to be j i accompanied by tbe prevision of proper , useful , j i and profitable employment to the instructed in after ' iife . If you educate 1 , 000 children in factory labour , you muat be careful that there shall afterwards be pro- \ Stable and regular employment for all those ckildren in ! : their adolescence , else of what use is that part of their education ? !
If , after providing 2 , 000 factory labourers , you only provide employment for 500 , tbe result will evidently : be , that th « unemployed , after pressing down the : prices of factory labour to the lowest pitch , will be forced into other employments , honest or otherwise , as the case may be ; thus disorganising society , preventing prosperity , and pro" » i ^ g that their factory education was i a national evil . ' Such a state may , for a time , answer very well for a few large houses—Free-Traders and Ami-Corn-Law men—whose harvest will for awhile be most bonnti- ' ful in that monopoly of misery which produces low wages . i
If you omit this precaution , your education will , as I conceive , become a national cursa instead of a blessing . I am , your Victim , ' Richard Oastler .

BARNSLEY—A public meeting of the weavers of Barnsley was convened on May-day Green , on Monday , to give efficiency to a- strike of 1 tick-weavers of Messrs , Haxworth , Carnelly , and j Co ., they having offered and still are persisting m > reducing the wages of that fabric about three shil-1 lingB in the pound ; Mr . Kichard Taylor was called ! to the chair . The first resolution was moved by ' Mr . Frank Mirfield , seconded by John Sbaw , and ; carried . It was " That it is opinion of'this meeting thav the attempt made by Me-srs . Haxworth and Co . to reduce the price of tick weavhjg is unjust and cruel in the extreme , aud highly injurious to both masters and workmen , as reductions of this kind ;
are in general followed by a more than corresponding reducemem in the manufactured article , thereby reducing the profits of the former and increasing the privations of the Jarter , who , with the present rate of wages when fully employed , are scarcely able to procure a scanty subsistence , and are daily sinking lower and lower in misery and destitution " Propo ^ d by John Grimshaw , seconded by Robert Garbut , " That this meetiDg is of opinion , that it is their bonnden duty to use their ntmost exertions to prevent tbe offered reducement-fn the prices of tickweavins ; and to maintain the present rate of wages as stated in the manufacturers' arrauged list .

P . for the Eastern Division of this county , is about to ieave this country ior France , and that he intends giving up his seat for Cumberland . In this case an election will tafce place , and it is said that P . H . Howard , Esq ., M . P . for the Borough , retires from i ; , to contest the county . The desire of Mr . Howard to retire from the representation of Carlisle arise ? , we are told , from the great annoyance which he has met with from the Anti-Corn Law party , who have lately been badgering him to support Mr . Viiliers ' s moiion for a total repeal of the Corn-Laws , to which , we believe , he is wholly opposed . Should an election take place , tho Anti-Corn Law party intend bringing forward either Col . Thompson or Mr . Bright .

Brutal Murder of a Magistrate . —Tbe Leinster Express « ives the following horrifying particulars of one of those shocking murders which are dis gracefully characteristic of the southern parts of Ireland : — " On Thursday nigfc last as John Gatchell , Esq , of Coolegegan , a magistrate of the King's County , was returning home from the R « v . Mr . Ridgeway ' s , of Cienbullogue , where he had been dining , he was waylaid at Clonad , and brutally murdered . His body was found next morning on the side of the road , with his ribs completely beaten in , and his throat cut , and mangled in a shocking manner , but up to the time information was received at our office it had not been ascertained whether by bullets or by a blunt cutting instrument . No clue has yet been ascertained as to the perpetrators of this horrid crime . "
Dreadfoi . Accident on the Brussels and Liege Railway . —Brussels , May 4—A dreadful accident happened yesterday on the railway . When the train which left Liege at half-past seven io the morning was near to Landen , two guards who were in a waggon carrying light goods , tho second in the train , saw the carriage full of smoke . They removed the parcels in order to discover the cause of tho fire , when the flames burst fovth , on which they gave ihe signal to stop . Most of the passengers , hearing the sound of the whistle , looked out of the windows , when a vioknt flame , driven by the wind , seemed to touch the carriages . Two passengers and two guards preserving their presence of mind , held the doors fast , to prevent any person from getting out .
In a few seconds the train stopped , the waggon that was on fire was detached , and all the passengers alighted . Fourteen passengers and a guard were killed . Some linen was at hand , ana the wounds were dressed as well as circumstances would allow . The moat severely wounded were sent back in the carriage to Liege . Some were able to proceed on their journey . The cause of the fire is at present unknown , but tha inconceivable rapidity with which tbe flame spread gives reason to suppose that some bottle or jar of highly inflammable spirit was broken , and that it communicated with the fire of the engine . It is remarkable that the tufferera by this disaster were victims to the first impulse of fear , for all those who kept their seats escaped without injury .
" Good Health is one of the greatest blessings in human life ; without it , success in any undertaking must be of doubtful issue , and at best cannot be Becured with pleasure . To thoae of sedentary habits , and whose employment is necessarily more of a mental than of a physical nature , good health although seldom possessed by them is nevertheless an almost indispensable requisite . Some constitutions and dispositions require an active use of the muscles of the body ; deny them this , and nature resents the offence by sinking into melancholy a ^ d repiningmental vigour and elasticity droops and

Students , teachers , clergynen , and others , whose care and most anxious thought ia constantly being called forth , can hope for but little pleasure in their high and important undertakings , unless peconded by a proper buoyanoy of spirit and vigour of mind .

Robbery and Murder at Bury . —We regret to have to record a murder whioh has caused a great sensation in this neighbourhood , having been perpetrated apparently for the sake of robbing the poor victim of some money , which he had incautiously displayed . This murder was discovered about halfpast six o ' clock on the morning of Thursday la-t , by two labouring men , who were going along a sort of footpath , by or throuah a gravel pit , in some wast ^ ground , lying between the back of the New Market and the new Catholic Chapel , Bury . The men were passing along whotv , on looking a little on one side , in a retired spot , near a hed ^ e which bounds some gardens , they saw an old man lying on the ground without his hat , and on going up to him found
that he had evidently heen treated with great violenco , for his face and head were cut and bruised , and his faco was ) y : ug close to the ground in a small pool of blood . His hat was stuck on the thorn hedge near which he was lying . The men immediately hastened towards the New Market , and there seeing Sergeant Shiel , of the county constabulary force etationed at Bury , they called to him , and he accompanied them to the spot , lie fouud the old man lying as the men first saw him , on his face and left side ; his feet towards the hedge , and his right breeches pocket turned insido out . Trie Sergeant turned the body face upwards , and then saw the pool of blood in which tho face had been lying , and which appeared to have flowed from the nose . The right
: breeches pocket had been forcibly torn out . His ' hat , as we have said , was on the top of the hedge ; s it was stained with blood , and in it were Borne pieces of bread and cheese , and a red worsted comfortable . In his coat pocket were two papers containing j salves , and a largo clasp knife , sneh as is ascd by i country people ; When the body was removed , Seri geant Sheil found beneath it an empty calico bag or 1 purse with the tape strings undrawn , and an empty i black bottle which had apparently contained some i cattle medicine . At a little distance from him , oa the ground , was lying a roll of diachylon plaster , crushed flit . Near him , on the ground , was a white handled pot-ket knife , with two blades , one a
WiiarncJiff , ' , and the other a pen blade . The deceased wore a red cotton neckcloth , and between it and the neck was found a broken thorn twig , with two spiuen upon it , which had pierced the skin . The thorn hedj ; o . near where tho old man was lying was splashed wi ' . h blood , and was very much broken , a number of twigs having been snapped off , and the whole hedge presenting the appearance of a violent struggle , in which Fomo person had been forcibly pufhud or thrown uptfn the hedge . The ground was also much trampled , as if several men had been treading about the spot in various directions . Sergeant Sheil left tho two men to watch the body while he proceeded to the house of Mr . John Foster , surgeon , Union-square , who followed him to the place ,
and under his inspection the body , which he was of opinion had been dead some hours , was removed to tho house of Mr . Wright Greenhaugh , the Gray Mare public-house , near the New Market , where it now lies . As soon as the body had been conveyed to the public-house , Sergeant Sheil reported the supposed murder at the police-office , and Mr . Superintendent Henshall , Inspector Hemer , Sergeant Shiel , and other officers were promptly and actively engaged in investigating the matter . The deceased was soon recognized as a small farmer and cattle doctor , named James Hey wood , residing at Sinister Hall , Simister-lane , Unsworth , in the townshiip of Pilkington , from two to three miles from Bury . The following particulars respecting him we have
collected frcm his eldeot son and other panies , and belit-ve they will be found correct : —Tho drceased was a widower , having two sous and two daughters , all grown up . The eons work on the farm , and the daughters reside with tbtir father , who , besides carryiDg on his farm , practised us a cow doctor . On Monday las ' , beisg in Bury , he called at the shop of James Ramsbottom , butcier , Fleet-street , and wanted to sell him a pig . Ramsbottom declined to buy then , as his wife was from home , but eaid that if Heytvood would come to Bury fair he would giye him a " graidly order . " At breakfast on Wednesday morning last , Mr . Hey wood said to his daughter ; bat he thought lie should go to Bury fair , and that he would buy a cow if be saw one lie liked . He usually kept his money in a drawer in the parlour , and on Wednesday there was a budi there in gold and silver , and when information of this robbery and murder reached home this sum waa examined , and it
was believed to be deficient of the amount that was there before by £ 11 or £ 12 ; and thiB sum , it is therefore supposed , he took with him to buy a cow , and had it in the purse which was found empty under his body . He had also with him a silver watch , ( maker ' s name Thomas Lee , Bnry , No . 302 , ) with a brass chain , to whioh were appended a brass seal and key . As there v ? aa no "watch , found in his pockets or near him , in all probability this was carried off by tbe murderers . Among other things that were ascertained as tending to throw Borne light on the transaction , and to furnish eome clue to the murder , it transpired that a young man , named James Howarth , had been offering a silver watch for sale at an early hour on Thursday morning . The watch answered the description of that belonging to the deceased , and of course due search was made for Howarth , but it was found that ho had absconded . He is a weaver or a blacksmith .

Execution op Bett y Eccles and Wilmot Buckley , at KiRKDALE—The execution of these untortunate criminals , who wera convicted at the late assiz s , took place on Saturday at the north-west angle of Kirkdale gaol . The time fixed was twelve o ' clock , long before which the approaches to the scene ofdeath were thronged with a gaping multitude . The femal * convict , it will be remembered , was tried for the murder of her step-son , a boy about thirteen years of age , at B Iton , whom she had poisoned for the purpose of getting a trifling sum of money out of a burial club ; and , from tb f s disclosures on the trial , 1 it was too clear that she had also poisoned two child-1 ren of her own by a former husband for the same oh ' ecJ . The atrocious and cold-Wooded brtita / itv of
her crime left do hope of mrrcy , snd none was held out to her . But with respect to Buckley , his offence belonged to a milder category , and tho jury seemed strongly inclined to reduce it to the worst specirs ol manslaughter . Even aftor they found him guilty oi murder , they recommended him to the merciful consideration of the Crown . He cut his wife ' s throat , in a field near St . Helen's , while they were taking a walk on a Sunday evening , she being at the time enciente ; but , from his own confession after the act , and other coroborative circumstances , it was evidently the impulse of a frantio moment , done in the heat of passion , and produced by the tantalizing upbraidinga of his wife , who was jealous of her husband , and viewed his attention to other females with
distrust . Many persons , therefore , were inclined to believe that in his case the extreme penalty of the law would not be enforced . Baron Parke told the jury that their merciful recommendation should be forwarded to the Home Secretary , but at the same tiiLe he intimated his belief that it could not be entertained . Arrived at the press-room , the prisoners were seated in chairs , where they were pinioned , and Mr . Carson , asked them in a low voice and subdued tone whether they had anything further to say Both replied in the negative . The Rev . Mr . Appleton then read the burial service , at th « termination of which Buckley waa led to the scaffold , where the rope was placed rouud his nook . During thi 3 process the female prisoner remained in the chair , her
eyes fixed intently on theawful preparations which the other criminal was undergoing . This completed , the executioner led her forward ; she rose without any seeming agitation , and walked on , her lips moving in prayer . Mr . Appleton attended the dying penitents to the scaffold , still reading the service for the dead . At the close the fatal bolt was withdrawn , and the prisoners in a few seconds ceased to exist . Owing to the pressure of a number of persons on the wooden bridge leading to tho scaffold , we were unable to toasoertain whether they struggled much , but were subsequently informed that the struggles of the female were soon over , while those of Buckley were more severe . Buckle ; made a hearty breakfast , but
the other wretched sufferer was unable to eat . In a conversation with Mr . Appleton , Buckley repeated in substance the confession which he made immediately after his apprehension , that he committed the act under excitement , because his wife upbraided him with infidelity ; and on being asked why he had a knife in his hand at tbe time he struck his wife , he replied that he had been cutting a stick with it . Betty Eccles acknowledged that she had poisoned her step-son , but would not say , though she hardly denied , that she had disposed of the other two children in the same manner . The roads to and from the execution were densely crowded , and from the number of persons in vehicles of every description , it resembled a visit to the raoe-course on some attractive
occasion . The numher present we hav « heard variously estimated at from 20 , 000 to 30 , 000 . —Liverpool paper .

CHINA AND INDIA . EXTRAORDINARY EXPRESS . The Indian Mail of the 1 st of April has arrived . It brings a confirmation of the brilliant successes of Sir Charles Napier m Scinde , in the capital of which treasure and jewels to an amount considerably exceeding one million have been discovered . Doubts have been entertained if this treasure trove is to be considered prize money . Lord Eilenborough has dec lared , according to rumour , in favour of the gallant army that won tha city of Hyderabad . The matter has been referred to the Queen in Council . In the meantime the Gove * nor-Gt > neral has declared Scinde to be a British province , abolished slavery therein , and appointed Sir C . Napier to be the Governor ; and alwo declared all transit dudes abolished , and the Ivdus open to the ships of all nations .
Lord Eilenborough has also ordered that fhe useless cannon taken at Hyderabad shall be cast into a column o commemorate the memory of all the soldiers who distinguished themselves in the battle of Meeanee . Scinde is said to be a most fertile district , which , when cultivated , will repay every cost tenfold , and renderthe territories of the Indus something like the banks of the Ganges . The position of Sir Charles Napier in Hyderabad required to be attended to ; for the population of some districts , led on by some of the disaffected Ameers , were preparing to renew the conflict . The Bombay Government was most active in its efforts to send every succour to the gallant General , and troops had been sent from Forezepore to Sukkur , in order to co-operate with those lower down the river .
The Governor-General was at Agra , where he has taken up his residence in one of the palaces , and in which he had held an investiture of the Order of the Bath . He has orderod the ; celebrated Somnauth gates to be locked up there , and the officers employed in escorting them have been sent back to the regimental duty . The declaration of Sir Charles Napier , that the Indian army is too scantily officered , has attracted attention , and has become tha subject of general comment . The Ameers of Scinde , who are prisoners , will , it is said , be placed for safety in the fortress of Ahmednuggur or Asseerghur .
Some disturbances still exist in the mountainous districts of Bundelkund * , but they are not of any great importance . India is otherwise tranquil . The most conflicting accounts were circulated respecting the state of Cabul . Ukhbar Khan is no longer popular there , aud another was s vid to have seized the government . Dost Mahommed was going back from Lahore to Cabul , but it was not known how be would be received there . He wished to be aided by the Sikhs , but they did not seem inclined to give him any assistance . The news from China extends to the 21 st of February . The latest was brought to Bombay by an American schooner—the Zephyr , which is now plying as an opium trader from Bombay to China , and is remarkable for her swift sailing . The Emperor has ordered an investigation into the murders of tho crews of the Ann and Nerbudda at Formosa .
Nothing had been done in the arrangements of the commercial treaty , for the British Plenipotentiary appeared to be waiting for the treaty as ratified by Her Majesty . Tbe Chinese Commissioner and ho were on good terms . Doubts are said to exist of the durability of any arrangement now entered into . The Chinese were busy in repairing all their forts and in strengthening their positions in the different places attacked last year . Trade wai dull , but expected to revive speedily . At Canton some dissatisfaction still prevailed . The immaturo revolt at Manilla had been put down , and the rebels executed . It had for its object to declare the independence of tbe islands of the Spanish yoke . The Hindostan arrived at Madras on the 15 th of March , GO hours afur tho mail had arrived at Bombay . This rapidity promises well for the steamers from Calcutta to Suez : her arrival at Calcutta took
place on the " 23 rd , before the express from Bombay with the mail had reached that city . The Hindostan was obliged , on going up tho lloogly , to anchor at Mud point from want of water . The Bishop of Calcutta and Metropolitan of India arrived in Bombay on the 11 th of March , where he held his primary visitation , and presided at the founding of tbe Great Medical College . A magnificent comet was seen through India from tho beginning of March , and engaged the attention of all the astronomers , one of whom actually declared it had become a satellite of the earth—a proposition which set thousands a laughing . Dwarkanauth Tagore has been excluded from his family caste , in consequence of his repeatedly eating with " the unclean Europeans . "
The Captain of the Belvidere , which ship was burned some months ago at Singapore , was tried at Bombay for taking goods out of the ship while in harbour . He was honourably acquitted . A steamer had arrived at Bombay from Knrrachee , which brought intelligence to the 28 th of March , and mentioned that a fight of three days had taken place between Sir Charles Napier and the Ameers , in which the British were successful . There was great loss on both sides . Report said that the British General was slain , but this part of the report was not credited .
The Belochees had thrown a chain across the Indus , which they intended to defend by fortifications ou both sides . Her Majesty ' s ship Nimrod and two small steamers were about to force tho Beloochees to retire aud leave ihe river open .

The fire in the second warehouse extended to the third story , but entirely consumed the two stories at the top , and about a similar amount of damage has been done to tho fourth warehouse .

Buenos Ayres and Monte Video . —Accounts to the 9 th of March have been recieved from Bueno 3 Ayres by the Carlotta ; a Danish vessel , which landed her letters at Falmonth on Saturday . It appears from these , that , up to the latest moment , Oribe , who commands the Baenos Ayrean army before Monte Video , had not made any attempt to gain possession of the town . A considerable number of heavy guns and mortars had , however , been embarked at Buenos Ayrea , for the purpose of enabling him to bombard or to besiege it in form .
Overdone . —A New York paper of the 6 th ult ., states , that the American distresses have been produced by over-banking , over-trading , over-spending , over-reafihing , over cheating , over-borrowin « , overeating , ovftr-drinking , over-praying , over-sinning , over-thinkins , overplaying , over-riding , over-tippling , over-fiddling , and over-acting of evory kind anddescription—except oner-ploughing , which alone is the foundation of society , and the corner-stone of civilization . The London City Mission . —Mr . Plumptre , M . P . is worried out of his life now that the Saiuts have commenced holding their May meetings in Exeter Hall . Religionists of all creeds demand his services , and ho works like a mitt-horse ia the sacred cause .
First he presides at tho Wesleyan Missionary Society ; other sects then crave his services ; and , lastly , the City Mission ; and , really , the proceedings of this . Society , as reported in the columns of the Morning Post , arc most amusing . ' The Metropolitan Police , ' it appear ? , have been furnished with libraries , consisting of tracts and holy books ; and the M agents" have been actively engaged at those periodical evils ( where the Devil plays his pranks ) , the fairs , and wore particulrly during the Easter recees at Greenwich , which had been visited by 340 , 000 Londoners , bent on the soul-damning sin of eDjoying themselves in the fresh air . The report expressed a determination to put down , if possible , all fairs . The " agents" had also visited the Almonry , in Westminster , snd the low brothels belonging to the Dean and
Chapter , and they had also attempted to reform the inhabitants of York-square , and other places of profligacy ; they had held 8 , 606 prayer-meetings ; converted two stupid Mahomedans , who had brought the giraffes to the Zeological-gardens ; and they reported , moreover , that an elderly lady bad presented 365 farthings , the result of her savings during twelve months . The Society ' s income is about ^ 66 , 000 a-jear , and all they have done has been to convert a couple of extremely ignorant foreigners , who will renounce Cristianuy the moment they return horne t aad laugh at the missionaries for the pains they have taken to shake off their original faith . The amount subscribed at these meetings 13 really surprising ; and yet , when money is wanted to relieve the destitution of the poor , what is given is yielded grudgingly .
