AMERICAN NEWS. ) ABRIVAL OF THE HIBERNFA. ]?MPOOI..MoMO*.Y?tQMT. JTh^e British and Notrh American Royal Mail øloom ship lIibernia Captain Lang, has ju¡¡t arrived ipmbernia on the 23d ult" and IlauKe 26th. The Hibernia "'ings the mails Canada and the other British Posses d the UnitedS/Its, and a fair complement of passen- gers. Her Iat?s are, from New York ,nd Boston, to Ke23d. Baltimore, Philadelphia, W ashmgton, &e. 22d- an? from the leading cities and towns in the western continent olle week later dates than those received by the America, reThl Hiblrnia passengers, including Mr. Malady, who, previously to his departura from B?np?esen?dt.ObO d..Uars to the Allies of the un ?ne men who fell in the late riols. Our ac- count, from Canada are brief, but important j they are, morp.over, satisfaC\(1ry, 'rh'e'°p??n.?c???d undisturbed by factious .io)ence. Telegraphic intelligence Irom Montreal, under date the 21st ult., announces that an address ha'?e? P?en.?tohis Excellency Lord Elgin in favour of removing the seat of Government to Q.ebe. and Toronto four years alternately, the majority I on the division being live votes, The city of Mon- i treal is tranquil. The business of legislation pro- t-eeded with tranquillity. Lady Elgin has beea con- ii,d of '?ayh.y has been deputed by the Tori?s to re- present their cause in London,, and Mr. llincks, who arrived by the last Bteamer, was reported to be the destined advocate of the Ministerial policy. The Uni- versity Dill had passed the Lower House. From the United States the political intelligence IS 8 it wasreported that Captain Charles Wilkes, of the late exploiintf expedition, will be sent out as Com- mander of one of the vessels to be dispatched in search of Sir John Franklin. The admission of California as a state next session was considered probable. It was rumoured that the President would lay Mr. I.abouchcre's Bills, for the repeal of the na- vigation-laws before Congress, as a proper subject of legislation. The cholera continued its ravages, general Worth had fallen a victim to the epidemic. The steamer United States, previously sold to the Prussian Government, had been detained on the rnund of neutrality, by order of the United States Cabinet. If, however, the Prussian Minister would engago under security that the ship should not interfere with Denmark, the prohibtion would be withdrawn. The excitement at New York. relative to the late tragedy at the Opera liouse, had subsided consi- derably The steamer Empire wall, Bunk by collision on the 17th ultimo, in the river Hudson, eighty miles above New York. The accounts published of the oecur- rence report twenty lives lost. The city of Saint Louis was almost totally de- stroyed by fire on the 18th ultitno 418 houses and 25 steam-boats were consumed. The estimated loss is 6,000,000 dollars. The city of New Orleans, after being for some time afflicted with cholera, which swept away many of its citizens. is now threatened vith even a more fearful and irresistiblefoe in the overwhelming waters of the M isaissippi. The city lies below the high water level of this great river, and is guarded, as Holland is from the in- road of the sea, by dykes, or levees, as they are called along the Mississippi. A portion of one of these levees above the city having been carried away, the waters were passing rapidly through the opening, overcoming all efforts to stop the breach inundating the plnn lations below, and actually pouring through some of the streets of the city. Our latest dates by mail are the 13th ult., when in many quarters the inhabitants were already driven by the invading waters to take refuge in the upper stories of their houses. Business, of course must be materially checked by such a state of things. From California the accounts are 22 days later, The ad vices are important. According to one ac- count the Califorll iuiis refused to recognise General Smith, who was sent out as military Governor of the territory, and had taken steps to organize a Go- vernment for themselves. Accordin to another, he had virtually taken back the prohibition which he had issued at Panama for- bidding foreigners to dig for gold at the" placers," and had organized a good police at San Francisco, and executed his authority without hindritnee but what is certain is, that the people had resolved to summon an assembly to sit at San Francisco and frame such laws as may be necessary for the preser- vation of order and the regulation of trade. This body is to consist of fifteen members. Three judges are also to be chosen-all by universal suffrage of course. This organization, it is understood, was to go into effect immediately. Several meetings had been held at San Francisco to propose the introduction of the slave trade. The report of the discovery of gold in Oregon is contradicted. The mail steamer California still lay motionless at San FraiieUoi. There had been a mutiny an board the United States ship-of-war Ohio, owing to the desire of the men to get off to the gold region. Some thirty men have been put in irons by the Commodore and many would be hung. Mexican accounts state that the duty which had hitherto been levied on gold imported from Upper California into Mexico had been removed. The robbers on the road from Vera Cruz to the city of Mexico were more bold and active than ever.— From the revolted districts there is nothing new. St.Domingoadviccsstatethatinthreebatttea the Haytians had been defeated. No prisoners were spared, and in retreating the Ilaytians burnt Az'ia. Venezuelan affairs were in confusion.

LOOK ALWAYS ON THE SUNNY SIDE. WHAT little things may sweeten lifo If we but view the. ightly Our darkest moment* oft are rife With pleasure beaming brightly. The minll that wraps itself in grief, And vents its woes in groaning, Would never gain one hour's relief For ages juibs'd in moaning. Look always on the sunny sick- The sun is ever shinin/l The shadow may be dark t\ad wide, But 'tis no use repining, Kav, tho* the sun seem vanquished quite, ,Ve are not unenlightened, The glittering stars show !>cst at night, As though by darkness brightened. Your path may be thro' deserts drear, But springs e'en there are flow ing; Keep up your spirits, never fear, Hewn still b joy \>c,;towing, As a 1,right flower that may be found Where all heside is dreary, Seems to shed swctter fragruuee round In eomfort to the weary; Just so, a joy the mourner sees Amid the glooul of sorrow, Possesses double power to please, And strengthens for the morrow. Then let us always look for joy, 1*1'en in our criefs invite her; And what wouhl otherwise aonoy Will help to make life brighter.

LITERARY NOTICES. ADELINE.—A SKETCH FROM LIFE. Poor gentle Adeline, thino was a wayward fate,— Thou were reared in the lap of luxury. All a father's pride, all a mother's love, centered in thee. Soft was t"c pill ? on which thy infant head was laid to rest, and anxious the eyes that watched thy slumbers. Attendant ha"dma ids waired on thy feeblest cry, and obsequious laeqines bowed themsel.es before the, Such, so fondly-tended, wert thou in infancy! And, when girlhood catne-that season of joyousness, when, even amid poverty and privation, the young heart leaps beneath its excess of happiness-Ihou wert still reared in splendour ind itidtilzence-the beloved, the admired of every eye. But suddenly there came a change, » withering change. Thy parents died; thy fortune was dissipated; thy friends, those who had courted thee in thy prosp rity, proved false; and at the end of one short yellr from the moment of thy greatest triumph, that in which thou sawest thyself greeted as the chosen one of him who had won thy young heart's best affec- tion, thou wntrst forth -f\ beart or a governess! — Alas! for w\Irn.UI,lhat. while there were so many ways open by which the rougher sex-each selecting that most in accordance with his taste and talems, can win his way to fame and fortuiie-there are but two by which thou c-inst wring the bitter bread of dependance from the reluctant hand of prHe Yes i OHllifdd are the sorrows, grievous the wrongs, of the ill-fa'ed sempstress, and fain would we win for her the sympathy of those, for the tidornment of whose young and of?eu lovely f>rms, — loveliest when le.st gorgeously a'tir^l—she toils through to my a cheerl..s 11 and we ry night, with few to pity, fewer to appro.e: yet. even fur her, oppressed, neglected, as ,he often is, there is an occasional sunny spot, some bright Oisis in the desert of her life, whele she may repose herself, and ta ,e courage ere she starts again on her weary way. But the governess, the orphan governess has none earth holds not another being so s ditary, Cut off from 1, with her employers, not, indeed, by any fiult or i"ili"1f of her oWIl-for, can it be denied that tihe sometime# tanks immediately above the.. in .11 that constitutes real worth !-but because the tyrant laws of custo n have ordained that the lady who has the means to pay shaU, in the various grades of society, hold a higher position than the lady who is compelled to receive a salary. Her mind is too highly cultivated, her manners too refined, to hold communion with the lady's maid and the housekeeper, with whom they would reduce her to lierd and when her heart, aching In the intensity of its warmth, for something to cling to, seeks to twine itself round the innocent beings whom she has undertaken to guide, even their generous natures are to be blunted, their young hearts wilrped,and their best feel- ings nipt in the bud, rather than they should learn too fondly to love, too highly to venerate, the governess. There are, it is true, here and there to be fou:» i indivi- duals mure high-minded ttnn the mass, wiio, loving virtue tor virtuc's sake, aud apprccialin talent even when found in the person of a poriiunless female, exi.It themselves by exalting her; but the former is the rule the latter only the exception—verily both shall have th' ir reward. Proceed we now to select a few passages from the daily life of the governess. In ■ back room of the dullest house in one of the dullest streets in London, stands a younij and lovely frmile, surrounded by n group 1\( chiMrcn of different sexes, nnd of ages vary- ing from four to fourteen. So fair, so mild, so gentle, is the prcsi tiiiz genius of the apartment, that it might have seemed a temple dedicated to peace and concord, but for the circumstance that anything but peace U'ism-d Wi\W\U il. w"lls, A tall, genteel girl, appa- rently about fourteen years of age, in a state of great excitement, and with a face rosy red. but by no 1I1ean. reievtiallv O, i engaged in a violent contest with her ,brother, three years her junior, whose clenched fist, lirmly set teeth, <tud 1 ibnuring breath, prove that the demon* of passiou uud f pride h:?? him now coin- pie-ely in their p'iwer. A b,,?!?, li rd lcaves of whicl lie scattered around, while tlit, stronger backs are firmly r'¡)pd by each determined combatant, is the subject of dispute. The younger brothers and sisters, ranged on either side, though they are yet taking no activep irt in the fray, show by the heightened co.our in their cheeks that they are only waiting for a si""hIIO begin wnde the governess, ill a voice intended to be authoritative, but which is really far too feminine to be heaid in i>uch a Babel of sounds, is vainly enoca" Vonring to restore order.

Atid, with a frown of direful im- port, she takes her son and daughter by the nand, and, slamming the door violently after her, descends to the drawing-room. After the scene we have described, can it be wondered at that, when left to themselves, the younger members ofthis ill-governed family, instead of returning to their seats and resuming their interrupted oCCl.1pt¡\JII8t should form themselves into little uronp*, and, in tones whis- pered indeed, but so whispered as to be perfectly audible to her against whom tney were uttered, di,ouss plans of future rebellion aguiust the authority of the governess Change we now the scene. It is evening, and there are sounds of revelry in that house. Lights gleamed from every window fragrance issues from every aper- ture servants nrp ruunimr in un directions anù gaiety and bustle reii»n throughout. In the drawing- room a briMiant party is assembled; feathers wave; diamonds glUtcn; aud young hearts thrill with plea- sure. In a distant corner of the room, before a grand piano, is seated tli" governess, simply yet genteelly a1tirfli. She is p..rfo n:inr: with exquisite taste and pathos, orw of Beethoven's beautiful sonatas. "here is silence for evety one feels that the best of music is issuing from beneath the touch i f no common performer; but no circle has formed itself around her; there is no ready hand to turn the leaves of her music book; no kind voice near to whisper ciiprubatioii-" It is only the governess. Those words have raised a line of demarcati.on, wfhicth it would be high treason against the laws oi fashion for any one to overstep. A glass inder-d is occasionally raised towards her, for i-he is very fair to look upon, but other nnti?(- receives she nonoj and when, at length, the music ceases "nù p'Tinisfion is 91-l""I her to tire, no hand is exte"eù to Ie"l her to her seat. No wonder then thllt, a«, with lotlerill steps 8he Ihreads her way to the bottom of the room, tho memory of other days should rise to luer mind-of days when she was herself the centre of a circle, the" admired of all observers." and when, after such an. lhibition as the present, the v..i,e of love brrillhell into her ear the va- lued meed or and no wonder that the big, bitter tear of regtet fills her eye. The seat she h"o vacated is occupied* meanwhile, by a titled heiress, round whom lords atift ladies range thems.ehe8 with velighted expectation, while offidous beaux vie with each other for the honour of performing those little nets of gallantry, for the exercise of which the vieinitv of the piano affords so fair u field-agaiii mllsic is heard, and an execrably executed Italian bra- vura i. oucceeùed by an almost deafening shout of applause, But the governess is too high-mi.nd.ed for etivy and, though her correct ear will not allow her to listen with pleasure to base music, she is just now too much ab- sorbed in a conversation that is going on beside her to admit of her drawing any comparisons unfavourable to the fair songstress. The speakers are two gentlemen of rank, one holding a prominent place in the world of literature, the other an equally honourable one in the councils of his sovereign and they are discussing with much animaliun and ability a question of great public interest. Somewhat retired from the crowd, tbey have stationed themselves near the governess, whose earnest attention and intelligent countenance mark the interest w ith which she listens. Her sorrows are forgotten her regrets have vanished every faculty of her mind is ab, sorbed and when, in the course of the conveisation, some allusion is made to an author with whose name she is unacquainted, forgetful for a IDomellt of the bar- rier between herself aud the eloquent speaker, a question rises to her lips, it is only half uttered, fur she remem- bers her siluation, IInd suddenly checks herself* But the suppnswd sound causra the gentleman 10 lonk round; and even lie, the frequenter of a court, the at tendunt on a youiiiftil female sovereign, the polished, the courteous, aud generally the humane—even he gazes at her with a rude stare, which so plainly ex- presses, II It is only the governess, that the sensitive, timid Kid shrinks hick, retires within herself, and, overcome with the painful rondeliou that there is not in that large assembly one individual who cares for her, steals way to her own apartment, there to weep in solitude over blighted fortune and disappointed hopes. Oh the nights of sleeplessness, succeeding days of mental and often bodilv toil, that the governess en- dures Is it not enough—the throbbing temple, the feverish pulse, the oppressed sl)i,it-sutficei li it not the disappointment resulting from a conscientious yet oil- successful diseh«rge of irksome duties—the weariness of pouring, for the hundredth lime in vain, words of illstructioll into the obstinate ear of dullness, bearing on her own already overcharged shoulders the weight of failure; but must the "edeet or insult of the world at large be dll perhaps the bitterest ingredient in her cup of suffering! And is this the reward of lorn; years of study and confinement ? Is this Ihe emancipation of which the school girl so fondly dreams ? Then happier she, who, with uncultivated but peaceful mind and healthful body, sits platting rushes by her own cottage door. Eighteen months have passed, and the sickening long- ing for chauge is fit even were it a chane for the worse-atid that is barely poarible-it would bring with it novelty, excitement, and hope. Thilt deceitful god. dess to whom, in nil periods of life, but especially in youth, we cling so fondly and so faithfully, yives whia- pe.cd pomise of a happier lot. The die is cast, and the governess with no tie to bind her to her country, co, sents to eros. the sea, U on by the promises of stran- gers, who look kindly upon her, she wanders forth, and, five thousand miles from the land of her nativity, seems to have found the happiness she sought. There is something in the air of a foreign clime that draws the natives of the sain* country more closely to each other. Whatever distance of station or of space may have separated them at home, they have there some sympathies in common. Their language, their habits, even their prejudices, are th- same. And where that ruling principle which bears sway alike in all countries -the love of self—is not home down in the collision, the narrowest heart will open itself wide to its ftllovv- countryinen. The governess has never before felt so lilile alone; her pupils become her friends, her equals she is con- tented-happy-and peaoe of mind soon works its usual change. Her step is lighter than of yore, her song nwre glad, and her countenance beams wish unwonted ani- mation. But alas the change, fnvouiahle as it seems, works her turiher woe for lici- blue eye, now radiaut with hope, speaks but too eloquently to the bosom of the elder brother of her pupils, drawing from him offers as honourable to himself as they are distasteful to his parents; and. though the heart of the maiden beats not responsive to his vows faithful as it is to the memory of its early blighted love-tlie weight of their displea- sure falls on her. Presumptuous!—that she, the well- born, the highly educated, the intellectual, and the virtuous, .ho"lù dare to render herself too pleasing to the junior clerk in a mercantile house, who, in addition to sundry expectations frum his f"IIICr-lhe father, be it known, of nine other children possesses, subject in.. deed to the eontingcies of trade and climate, a salary of E200. a-year to lay at her feet What, save instant dismissal, can expiate so great a crime ? The fiat goes forth, and the governess is again up.m the world. And now her inclination turns once more towards England; for though, within the \i"1Î s of its sea girt shores, there i, not one duor thit will voluntarily fly open st her approach, still, it is the land of her birth it contains the graves of her parents, the spnt that was once her home, and thither she returns, But enough has been said ,-we will not trac her wandeiings from house to lil,u-c in pursuit of that employment which the teeming columns of our newspapers hold uut ss so easy of attainment. We will not at'end her to the drawing- rooms of the proud, the opulent, and the unfeeling. For some she is too young, for others too .,}'1-for some too diffident, and for some, to their shame be it spoken, too handsome. Wo will not further watch her as she turns timidly away, with a vain endeavour to screen her blush. ing face from the impertinent glance of Ihe liveried footman, who, after creeping reluctantly up the kitchen stairs, Rcarcely deigns to open the door efficiently wide to permit the egress of the youug wotuan that has been after the gOltlrnes"s place.

ITALY.I
ITALY. The Roman Triumvirate has ordered all the goods of the King of NAPLES in the Roman territor- ies to be sequestrated and sold, and the produce to he paid towards repairing the injuries inflicted on Roman citizens, and in order to prove to Europe and the world that the Roman Republic is actuated solely by a desire to secure her own liberties. and not by ambitious motives; the Triumvirate have prohib- ited the Roman troops from penetrating into the Neapolitan territory. GARIBALDI, however, contin- lies on the Neapolitan frontier (his head-quarters are at Terracina) in order to prevent any fresh invasion by King BOMBA, who, it appears, in his flight from Velletri, narrowly escaped being made prisoner. Verily, the pet of the POPE hath, like his master been chastened of late. On the morning of the 24th May III. DE LESSEPS addressed a letter from the French camp to the Roman Assembly, in which he expresses his readiness to continue communications with the Assembly, the dispatches from which may be forwarded to him, and will eiiir:f;e:er;ftr He then repeats what he said in his former letter that the French Government had no wish or intention to force any particular form of Government on the Roman people, nor was it their object to restore the past state of things in its original vigour. The only ob- ject he declares was to preserve the Roman people from whatever dangers might threaten them from other quarters, and to protect their laws and their liberty. He also denies that it was even the inten- tion of the French commander, in the event of his entering Home, to punish those foreigners and Frenchmen men who had fought on the sido of the Romans, who would be considered aud treated com- pletely as Romans. M. Mu7zini has replied in a very long and elabo- rate epistle to the dispatch of M. de Lesseps, but of which the pith and meaning appear to be summed up in the concluding passages, which are as follow "The great point at issue is the occupation of Rome, for that demand forms the first and paramount condition of all the propositions hitherto presented. Now, Sir, we have already had the honour of telling you that this is impossible-the people will never concent to it. If the occupation of the capi- tal is only meant for its protection, the people will be grateful to you but they will say, that, capable be grateful to lic ine b y their own fo i ces, they think of protecting Rome by their own forces, they think it would be to dishonour to themselves to admit a few regiments of French soldiers to assist them. If the wished-for occupation should be a mere political idea, the people who have given themselves free institutions will not submit to it. Home is their capital. their palladium, their holy city. They con- sider that the result of foreign occupation would inevitably be civil war, and foresee that once foreign troops were admitted, changes both in men and in. stitutions would follow which would be disastrous to their liberty. They know that in presence of foreign bayonets, the independence 01 their Assem- bly and of their Government would be nothing more than vain words. They see what has already taken plnce at Civita Vecchia, and dread a similar result. Their decision is irrevocable on this point. There is, therefore, only three parts for France to pei form in the Roman States. She must declare herself either lor us or against us, or neutral. To declare for us, she must formally recognise our re- public, and figltt by our side against the Austrians, To declare against us would be to crush, without any motive, the liberty and the nationality of a liiiodly people, and to fight oil the side of the Aus- trians. The latter part France cannot adopt. She cannot citlisr risk an European war to defend us at an a.ly. Let her, therefore, remain neutral I: that is all we ask. The occupation of Civita Vecchia is unjait accumpli; be it so. Let her keep it, and let her eveu extend her cantonments in the healthy part of the country, but let hex bo strictly neutral, with out\;I)Y atriere pensi'e. Let her iint close LI)e ports against the amvai ot any allies who would come to our gssistanee.

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. The Austrian garrison of Buda, consisting of 2,200 men and 10 officers, have been sent as pri- soners to Debreczin. '° Gorgey's dispatch announcing the victory was couched in three words-" Hurrah! nuda! Got- gey I" The Answer sent back was—"The thanks of the Republic to the Field-Marshal I.icutenant It is supposed that the National Government will now adjourn to Pesth. The fortifications of Buda are to be destroyed. The Hungarians found in Buda the following stores: -83 field pieces, 1,400 muskets, as many hundred- weight of powder, and 2000 cwt. of saltpetre, the whole of which have been transferred to Debrecun. The Russians are preparing to cross the Waag.
INDIA.
INDIA. (Prom the Overland Borllbay Timej, May 1.) SUMMARY. We have rarely had occasion to send home a more newsless summary than the present—though the next two are likely to be no improvements. Wecan only intimate the arrival of Sir C. Napier in the Eastern waters; he reached Alexandria on the 8th, proceeded straight through Egypt, sailed direct for Calcutta, on the 12th, having learnt on the way that tranquility in the Punjaub had been restored. He will have by this time arrived, and been sworn in, and is probably on his way to Simla for the season. The intelligence that railways have been all but secured us, is probably the most important news that ever reached the shores of India; we borrow money without remorse to meet the charges of a causeless and unprofitable war; for no purpose could we bor- row more wisely or securely than for the improve- ment of internal communication. The troops at Peshawur are busy preparing themselves against the hot season. They enjoy the highest health there and at Moultan the climate to the middle of April appears to have been delightful at both places. The Sinde horse have had another brush with the Mur- rees on the frontier, who of course got the worst of it, having had 40 of their people killed, and 1,000 cattle, lifted from the low country, taken from them. Sinde continues healthy. General Achmutty has arrived at Kurrachee. Sir ,ëtCo?nd in-chief of Bombay, has sent in his resignation, and requested to be relieved after the rains; he has been extremely popular with the army while at its head. It is said that there are to be 10 new regiments of the line added to the Bengal army; on the other hand it is asserted that irregulars, half horse and half foot, will be raised to the extent of 10,000, with- out any addition of officers. The hope of a substan- tial augmentation seems to have been one great source of the clamour for the annexation of the Punjaub. The order issued some mouths since raising the strength of each regiment by 200 men, must have added 18,000 men to our muster toli the occupation of the Saugor and Nerbudda territories by about 12,000 Madras troops, will be a virtual addition to the army in Bengal to this extent, or a total of 30,000 the expected augmentation, whether of regu- lars or irregulars, will bring it up to 40,000 so much for the first fruits of annexation. The expense of a native regiment, officers, arms, appointments, and maintenance, costs somewhere about E40,000 a year! The charges of a couple of regiments would meet the interest of all the money proposed to be expend- ed on railways. The Governor-General is in the upper provinces. The commander-in-chief is at Simla, having taken a final leave of the army on quitting the Punjaub. General Gilbert has also taken leave of the division under him, in a compli- mentrr general order, and the troops in reality richly l eserve any compliment that can be paid them. Lieutenant Miller, of her Majesty's 22d Foot, a very meritorious officer, raised from the ranks for good conduct, has just been dismissed the setvice under circumstances of peculiar hardship. Mr. Miller had charge of the canteen funds, aiidon these being trans- ferred from his to other hands some errors were discovered, which led to charges of his having in- structed a native clerk to make false entries in the books. The court seem to have at once got carried away with the idea that erroneous entries by a clerk implied a fraud on the part of his superior, and decided accordingly. The books have been examined by able and competent authorities-the turn out to be full of errots-but bear no evidence of having been tampered with by Mr. Miller. Like most soldiers, he is little of a business man, and permitted a bad system to go on as he found it, till a faithless clerk, when about to be dismissed, based charges against him on his own blunders. We have no doubt that on a revision it will be found that he stands free of all blame, save that of negligence, and that a very slight reprimand is punishment enough for this. SINDE. By the Bombay Steam Navigation Company's steamer Victoria, which arrived on Monday morn- ing, we have letters and papers from Kurrachee to the 26th. When the steamer Queen was signalled on Sunday morning Sir C. Napier was believed to be on board, and the greatest excitement was expressed everywhere. Oh! then and there was hurrying to and fro, The fiery squadron and the clattering car." In fact never was such a bustle before,—every one exclaiming, the chief, he comes, he comes." His own regiment were, as became them. in a state of pre-eminent excitement; when lo! and behold, when all was ready for the reception, there was no one to be received. The following extractfrom the Kurrachee Advertiser gives accounts of an affair betwixt the Murrees and the Sinde Horse, followed by the usual results. Sir C. Napier left the two fighting, and he finds them fighting; it is but fair to add that there has been no case of collision since Merewethet's affair- now nearlv two vears old:- 44 We learn that another gallant affair has taken place on the frontier, in which the Sinde Horse have again distinguished themselves. Some days ago (we have not heard the date), a detachment of the regiment above mentioned was relieved at Kusmore by a jiartv from head-qnarters j hardly, however, had the relieved party left when the new detachment was attacked by a party of 600 armed Murrees; a duffedar and four men were killed, and several wounded. The party which had left heard the firing, and returned in time to succour their comrades, who would otherwise have been either destroyed, or at least have suffered great loss. The whole affair was so sudden that the party, consisting of forty men under a native officer, besides rescuing their oomrades, cut up about forty of the Murrees, and took upwards of 1,000 head of cattle, and obliged the robbers to fly to the hills. We have not heard all the particulars of this affair, but believe the above to be correct in the main points. It seems strange that the Murrees were able to plan the attack without the officer in command being even aware of their ap- proach but we have no doubt that on this an in. quiry has been instituted, and explanation afforded. Much regret was expressed that the harbour should remain in an unfinished state, and that the enormous sums of money expended on what the late ruler of Young Egypt expected to be the glory of New Alex- andria should have been sunk in vain. A very little more would make the pier serviceable at present it is utterly useless. THE PUNJAUB. The country of the Five Rivers has been trans- formed from a general battle-field to a vast standing camp. Our troops lately engaged in deadly strito have now no longer any enemy to contend with, and are settling themselves down in their cantonments, and preparing against the heats of the appronching season. Chuttur and Shore Singh have. it is said, been directed to proceed to their respective homes, and been assured that if they are ever heard of ?'th- out a limited circuit of the domiciles assigned them they will be visit,cd with the punishment due to their paht misdeeds, which have tor the present been passed over so gently. Tho troops at I eBliivwur were reviewed on the 1st by General Uilbert, who took an affectionate leave of them. Ho left on the 3d on his way to Lahore, where he takes command, he was accompanied by her Majesty's 14th Li-ht Dragoons to the capital, and her Majesty s JOtn on their way to Meerut. The site selected lor the cantonment* is near the former residence of Major Lawrence, which was burned by the Anghans, or where the Seikh cantonments formerly stood. Officers are to he allowed to make their tents as comfortably as they can-the expense of house building to be avoided as much as possible for the present. The cultivation of rice is forbidden in the neighbourhood, the irrigation required by it engen. during malsnous damps, The is "slUalllorce settled at Jainrood, and no traffic through the Khyber Pass is for the present permitted. At Bunnoo, where General Corilandt had established his head- quarters, the peoplo Wt're quiet and contented-glad apparently, that the strife was over, and that they had avoided the insurgent side. Kohat, and a he provinces around, seemed well disposed. There ate, it is said, seven regiments of irregular horse to be raised from amongest the disbanded Selkh soldiers and tight or nine regiments of loot: these to be olficered from the Indian army, There 18 another luu our that ten new regiments are to be added to I the strength of our forces. The late reductions under Lord Hardinge left us some 50, 000 more men and 830 more European officers than we possecced when the Affghan war wiis determined on in 1838 -within these ten months 18,000 men have been added to the army; 12,000 are, it is believed, to be transferred from Madras, where theynie not, it seems required to do duty, in place of the Bengal trocpain the Saugor and Nerbudda territory. This ill, all affords a virtual addition of 30,000 to our strength on the north-western frontier, or 40,000, if we add the regiments to be raised, being 90,000 in all in excess of what we possessed tell years ago, when India was last at peace, while the putijaub, Affghtin- istan, Sinde, and Gwalior had as yet not felt the power of our sword.
ITHE FATAL ACCIDENT NEAR CAMBRIDGE.
THE FATAL ACCIDENT NEAR CAMBRIDGE. INQUEST. On Thursday morning last, an inquest was held before J. E. Marshall, Esq., deputy-coroner for the county, on view of the body of John Nichol Lux- moore, a student of St. John's College, only son of the Dean of St. Asaph, who came by his death in the manner stated in last week'a Chro- nicle, and under the circumstances detailed in the evidence. Herbert Crichton Stewart, of Trinity College, stated that he had been intimate with the deceased for some years, and on the previous evening they started together from Cambtidge, for the purpose of taking a ride. They set off a little before seven o'clock, and took the direction of Abington. On reaching Babraham, they took the road on the left, leading to Worstead Lodge, and then turned off on the old Roman Road towards Cambridge. They proceeded along the turf a short distance, and the horses were put into a canter, witness taking the lead, After proceeding some distance, witness missed the sound of Mr. Luxmore's horse, and turn- ing round saw the deceased lying on the ground. He hastily returned, and found the deceased lying on his back, unconscious and speechless. Witness went to a cottage for assistance, and having secured that, proceeded in search of a surgeon, but on his arrival with a medical man the deceased was quite dead. The deceased was eighteen years of age and in delicate health; he had attended the services of the chapel just before they started on their ex- cursion. Mr. John Wells, of Fulbourn, farmer, said he was in his garden on the previous evening about 8 o'clock, and saw the deceased and his companion ride by on the old Roman road. Knowing the dangerous state of some parts of the road, witness expected there would be an accident. 'fhe had passed about two furlongs when witness heard an alarm. He sent his servant to see what had happened, and on his return saying a gentleman was much hurt, witness went himself, and found deceased quite unconscious, but alive. He survived but a few minutes. A medical man arrived after his decease. The place from whence the parties set off in a canter is not danger- ous, but the road gets worse as it proceeds; and where the accident happened is full of ruts, The Rev. Rowland Williams, M.A., of King's College, stated that he had known the deceased some years. He was in delicate health, and it being the wish of his family that he should take horse exercise they sent him a horse up to Cambridge to enable him to do so. Witness has often ridden with him: he appeared familiar with horses, but was not a very careful rider. Witness had the highest respect for the character of the deceased, as regarded both prin- ciple and conduct. lIe was not a person at all likely to do anything recklessly; and witness looked upon his death as the result of pure accident. The jury expressed themselves satisfied without calling medical evidence, and at once returned a verdict Tikat tho deceased came by his death by accidentally falling from his horse." There was a heavy bruise upon the temple of the deceased, as though the fall of the unfortu- nate gentleman had been violent. He bore the highest possible character, and through life had been aingularly attentive to his religious duties.

MISCELLANEOUS. The bite of a viper, when left to take its course, is death but by the speedy application of a little olive oil the bite is rendered as harmless as the sting from a wasp. Her Highness the Ranee Chunda Koouwur, of Lahore, (mother of Dhuleep Singh), escaped from her guards, and the fortress of Chunar, during the night of Wednes- day, the 8th instant (May). No particulars of her esiape have transpired, but the native report is, that she bribed two of the ??poN,? of her guard, who aided her and es- caped with her, it is believed towards the hills of Mirza- r ??w.h.-Ben?s ncwspaplr. Between 40,000 and 50,000 mackerel have been caught by seine nets, close in shore, during the present week. Such a circumstance has not before occurred for seventeen years. Some of our boats have earned nearly 9100 each. The greater part of the fish, which were very fine, fetched los. or 16s. per hundred, and were dispatched to London. They were retailed in our streets at six or eight a shilling. Similar catches have been made all along the Sussex coast. It is the sudden warmth of the weather which has caused these myriads of mackerel to resort to this part of the channel in search of their food, which con- sists of smaller fry that at this season of the year arc at- tracted towards the shore. The cliffs have daily been lined with spectators to witness the catches of mackerel by our fishermen, Brighton Gazette. UTILITY or NETTLES.-Though nettles are not fa- vourite plants with country ramblers, yet they are far from beillg llseless, A decoction of nettle juice, mingled with salt, will curdle milk, without imparting any disa- greeable flavour j the fibres of the stems are manufactur- ed into cloth, ropes, and even paper. Somelovelykin& of butterfly feed n the n,ttl,, Much use is made in Russia of tte large nettle, and in Sweden it is planted in rows for forage. The roots furnish a beautiful yellow colour to the dyers of Russia, and are very extensively employed by them for this purpose. It is a singular fact that steel dipped in the juice of the nettle becomes flexi- ble. But there are still further uses to which this neg- lected and despised plant may be applied. Dr. Thornton, who has made the medicinal properties of our wild plants his peculiar study, states that lint dipped in nettle juice, and put up the nostrils, has been known to stay the bleeding of the nose, when all other remedies have failed and adds, that fourteen or fift(?en of the seeds ground f.t ";detrnJo:ndfy lln eet\h:er:gU: the neck, known by the name of goitre, without in any way injuring the general habit.

What is better than presence of mind in a railway accident I-Absence of body.—Punch. The Lords of the Treasury have given notice that revenue duties may henceforth be paid in light gold at the rate of 19s. 9d. for sovereigns, and 9s.

PULPIT PIIR80NALITy.-An amusing incident recently occurred at the Old Church, Calcutta, dur- ing divine service. The night was a wet one, and there was but a scanty congregation. Among those assembled, however, was ajoily tar, who, no doubt, either thought a church a very justifiable retreat from the rain, or intentionally went there to be bene- fited. While the Rev. Henry Thomas was preach- ing and expatiating on the duties of good soldiers, Jack listened attentively till the Rev. gentleman had ended; when, starting up, and holding forth his hand in a deprecating attitude, no doubt to arrest attention, he exclaimed, If And what do you say for the sailors-do they not do their dutyi" The blood rushed up in the preacher's face, the clerk nearly swooned with horror, the whole orchestra were in visible agitation, and it was feared the or- ganist would not be able to play the voluntary after i,er,rice-the congregation stared-but Jack cared not for the whole of them-he took his hat, and walked out with an air of indignant defiance. ALARMINO STRAM BOAT EXPLOSION.—Thursday forenoon, shortly after ten o'clock, the numerous persons who were on board the Waterman steam- boat, No. 8, were alarmed by a body of steam and fire being seen to issue from the engine room, and at the same time two men, the engineer and stoker, made .their appearance at the top of the stairs, terribly scalded and calling for assistance. The ge- neral opinion then was that the vessel had taken fire, and every one on board began to cry out for boats. The two men who had escaped from below, on gaining the deck fell down, and it at once became manifest that they were seriously if not fatally in- jured. The captain who had charge of the vessel gave directions to the man at the wheel to port is helm," which he accordingly did, and tie boat ran alongside some dumblighters neat "Biliingsgata; but there being no one in the engine room to stop the machinery, it was found impossible to make the steamer fast, and she continued her course down the river as far a4 the Custom-house quay, where the captain tiln her into the mud, where she at length popped. A great number of watermen put off in their wherries, and succeeded in taking the whole of the passengers out of the vessel. Some were so frightened that it it was with difficulty they could be prevented from jumping into the water. A Thames police galley went off to the vessel and took the two men Who were scalded on board, and, having rowed them to the opposite shore, they were removed to St. Thomas's Hospital, when it was ascertained that the heads, faces, arms, and other portions of both men were dreadfully injured They were immediately put to bed, when they stated that the boat having taken in passengers at Dyer's-hall-wharf, was proceeding down the river for Woolwich, when, as it was passing under London-bridge, a body of fire and steam shot forth which knocked them down and filled the engine- room with a sulphurous vapour. They were posi- tive that tho steam was blowing off whilst the boat was stopping at the pier. The examination subse- quently made, shows that one of the supply tubes had exploded, and the steam escaping therefrom had entered the furnace and blown the hot cinders 'bout. The names of the two u,ifor?unate men are ?Thos'Boddiogton, the engineer, and Thos, Hoberts, the stoker. A similar explosion, by which two other men "cre scalded, took place on board the same vessel a short time ii?ce. During the after part of the day the vessel was towed away to the company's works to be repaired. OUT OF TTER FULNESS OF THE HEART Tlig MOUTH SPEAKETH."—In the vestry of a village chapel in one of the Midland counties, a plan of the P:h:i1 had, ac- cordin g to custom, been fixed up on the wal over the mantpicee, One day, two friends were cxaminin it, when one of them observed at the foot of, the plan the following notice The Quarterly meeting will be held on Monday, March 26th (D.V.)" and enquired the mean- ing of the last two capital letters. "Why," said the other, it's quarter-day, and it means Dinner in the Vestry." LIMERICK ELECTION.—Mr. S. Dickson was return- ed without opposition, on Friday last, for the county of Limerick, in the place of Mr. W, S. O'Brien. The Earl Dalhousie, Governor General of India, has been created Marquis of Dalhousie and Lieut. General Gough has been cieated a Viscount. A ship to navigate the air has been invented at Boston, and thepatentee declares that three days will suffice to carry passengers thence to California. The men employed at the Leeds and, l'hirsk Rail- way works have erected a monument to the meqiory of some of their fellow-workmen who,were acciden- tally killed in the formation of the line. It appears from one of Lord Brougham's paoin. mentary returns relating to railways, that two peers had 202 shares, and 24 members of the House of Commons had 4,235 shares, of the Waterford and Dublin Railway. The shares were issued at a premium. Lord Stanley has paid the passage money of a great number of his poor Irish tenantry. provided them with clothes, given a small sum of money to each, and sent them off to America. On Saturday, at the Insolvent Debtors' Court, London, the Hon. Adolphus Frederick Capel, brother to Lord Essex, applied under the Protection Act, nnd was opposed by about eighty creditors. The debts, in the aggregate were £32,UOO, There were no debtors to the estate, and only about £40 tobegiven up for the creditors, numbering in the schedule 221, The case was adjourned, TAYLOT, OR TALLOT.—This is a word well-known in every Wiltshire and Somersetshire farm-yard, but not to be found in Johnson's or any other dictionary. No wonder. It is nothing more or less than a cor- ruption of the hay loft." i'h'hayloft" becomes "t'haylo't," t'haylo't" becomes 11 taylot." THE FATE OF Mit. SMITH O'BIIIEN.—Thepresen- tation of the Memorial to Lord Clarendon, by the Lord Mayor of Dublin took place on Tuesday, at the Vice-Regal Lodge, Dublin, His Exceliency?. reply was firm and patriotic. In the evening, the gover- nor of Richmond Bridewell received a notification from the Lord Lieutenant that the sentence of death upon the state prisoners had been commuted to trans- portation for life. 1- BURSTING or A GRINDSTONE.—On Monday last, 88 a man named Batchelor, a carpenter, residing in Langley-row, Upper Stone-streer, was grinding an axe, the grindstone, which had a large ity-wheel attached to ii, and was turned by two winches, sud- denly burst into six or seven pieces, one of which struck Batchelor on the head, causing a severe wound about 2 j inches in length. He was immediately attended by a medical man, who dressed the wound, and he is now in a fair way of recovery. There were four persons in the room at the time of the accident, who fortunately escaped without any in- jury.—Kentish Gazette. jut'snI{Ï;DBNTORM OFTUESDAY LAST. Baron Rothschild, of Gunnerbury House, Acton, had 3,940 squares ofglass broken with the hailstones which fell about two o'clock on Tuesday last, during the violence of the,thunder.storrn, Two market gar- deners living at Starch Green had more than 1,000 panes broken. inir. Day, of Hammersmith, had many smashed also a great number of private dwellings round Turnham Green hal the windows broken. Some of the hailstones were nearly two inches long, and of an uneven oblong shape. THE CHOLERA AT PLYMOUTH.—Our Plymouth correspondent informs us that this dreadful malady has made its appearance in the vicinity of Plymouth. It appears that oil Tuesday the American packet ship American Eagle, from London and Portsmouth, arrived at Plymouth with 3UO emigrants, and the cholera made its appearance the same evening.- Nineteen deaths are reported to have taken place. The disease is also reported to have made its appear- ance at the little fishing town of Newton Ferrers, about eight miles from Plymouth. Every measure of precaution has been taken by the proper autho. rities. How TO PRONOUNCE GeTTA PRRCHA.—Dr. W. Montgomerie, who first introduced the u-e of this production, writes" The name is a pure Malayan one,' gutta' meaning the gum or concrete juice of a plant, and I percha' the particular tree from which this is procured. The ch is not pronounced hard like a k, but like a ch in the Lnglisli name of the fish perch. Had I thought there was a possibility of the name being mispronounced, I might have used the uncouth orthograpli liericho,but it would haverunthe risk of being taken for a Russian or Polish name. THE ORCHARDS.—The Hereford Journal jays — II We do not remember a season when the apple blossom was more abundant; indeed, the orchards and gardens present remaikabie luxuriance in this respect, but we cannot give -0 very favourable an account of the pear tiecs. Wall fruit, too, has suf- fered severely from the ungenial season. Wfiat is of most importance, the rains have advanced both the grain and green crops, and potatoes are coming on very kindly. Appearances here are as favourable as we ever lecollcct, and this is the more gratifying. as the cold and the excessive damp in the substratum of the ground had caused an apprehension in the minds of some country people that the plant would not niake its appearance at all. From the Taunton and Devonshire papers we gather that the above description applies pretty accurately to those dis- tricts." ASSAULT BY A CLERGYMAN.—A charge of assault was preferred against the Hev, Edward Powyl, by an old woman, named Clewes, at the police office, Leek, on Wednesday. The defendant was owner of the tithes of Bucknall, and the husband of the complainant rented a small farm in Bucknal, at a rent of £.>11. per annum, subject to tithes, The defendant refused 10 deduct the income-tax, though Mrs, Clewes produced the fix. gatherer's receipts. Air, Powys took them out of her hand, and refused to return them. Mrs, Clewes then placed her back against the door, and said he should not leave the house till she got back her receipts. Mr. Powys then struck her violently over the head with his stick.— A counter charge was preferred by Nlr. Powy. against IIIrs, Clewes. The magistrates dismissed the latter charge, and inflicted on J r, Powys a fine of L5. includ ing costs-the highest fine allowed by law. FATAL ACCIDENT AT POULTON, NEAR FLEETWOOD, —An inquest was held at this place on Wednesday, on view of the bodies of four women, who lost their lives under the following shocking circumstances: -A widow, named Kirkham, with four daughters and two nieces, occupied a shop in Church-street, near the market-place. Between two and three o'clock on Tuesday morning, one of the daughters (Agnes) pcrceiving a smell of burning, went down stairs to ascertain the cause, when she found that flames were issuing from an unoccupied room on the second story. She immediately alarmed the family, end some of the neighbours were attracted to the spot by her cries. Before a ladder could be raised to the house, she threw herself from the window on the third story, and being caught by a man below, happily escaped with but little injury. The premis- es were entered with as little delay as possible, when one of the daughters and two nieces were found quite dead, having been suffocated whilstenGuvour. ing to escape from the flames. Another daughter expired in the course of the day. Alis. Kirkham lies in an insensible state, and fears are entertained that she will not long survive. It would appear that the sufferers, on being aroused, stayed to dress themselves, and thus perished. The names of the Iii 'in"" 0 deceased are as follows: -Eliz?b?th kl?. aged 47; Sarah Kirkham, 30; Eleanor Ball, 14; and Margaret Ball, aged 6. The cause of the fire is at present enveloped in mystery. INQUESTS.—DEATH OF Two SEAMEN FROM ASIA- TIe CHOLERA.—On Tuesday, Mr, liakerhad inquests on the bodies of two seamen, who died from the effects of Asiatic cholera on board ship. The 1st inquest was held at the King of Prussia, Cart- wright-street, Smithfield, on the body of William Tyler, aged 29 years. It appeared that the de- ceased was cook on board the barque Alterhop, i on a voyage from this port to the West Indies and back. The deceased frequently complainc1 of pain in his stomach, and was ill nead" all the voyage. On the ship returning home, the crew experienced very bad wither, and the ^,cn were lashed to the pui-Vps to prevent their being washed overboard rhe decease^ was very ill at this r'ne, and was compelled to work at the pumps for upward, of 40 hours at a time. The çafgó was thrown overboard to save the ship, and 'all the clothes belonging to he crew, were washed into the sea. The ship after some difficulty ar- rived in Corl;, a wreck, and the men were paid off. The deceased and several of the crew embarked on board another vessel bound for I.ondon. Thursday the deceased was attacked with symptoms of cho- lera. Ho became worse, and died on Saturday last, when the ship was near Gravesend. Mr. Brown, surgeon, had no doubt deceased died from Asiatic cholera. Verdict in accordance.—The second in- quest was held at the Cannon public-house, Cannon- street, St. George's-in-the-East, on J. Cresay, aged 52, a seaman on board the ship Wigram, lying in the London docks.

Anderson, Protestant rector of Ballinrobe, that in a neighbour- ing union, a shipwrecked human body was cast on shore a starving man extracted the heart and liver, and that was the maddening feast on which he re- galed himscif and perishing family. It turns out an inquiry, however, that the person who. toinmitted this act of cannibalism was not a destitute pauper, but a farm servant, legulurly employed, without in- terruption, for three years by the same person. It is stated that he is a young man of most vorucious ap- petite; and as he passed along, seeing the body washe,1 un a lock near the shore, he took out the livcr, which, us well as a portion of one of the thighs, he devoured.

THE TEETH.— These organs are alike essential m health and beauty. It is therefore to be regretted that they are so liable to decay.

A stitch in time saves nine"—and upon this principle, the use of Brande's Enamel will prove a real blessing to all W,) give it a trial where decay has made its appwn.re in the teeth.
