A supplement to the Gazette contains, amid many despatches, one from Brigadier Walpole, explanatory of the disaster at Fort Hooya, which is as follows:- 1 directed my baggage to be massed in the open plain, near Madhognnge, under a strong guard of cavalry, infantry, and two field guns, and proceeded with the remainder of the tbrce towards Hooya, turning otl from the road, aboat two miles from Madhogungc, for the purpose of getting round to the north side of the fort, which was stated to be the weakest part of it, where there was a gate, and wiieie there were very few guns. The fort on the east and north side is almost surrounded with jungle, and at these two sides the only two gates were stated to be, which information proved correct. It is a large oblong, with numerous circular bastions all lound it, pierced for guns, and loopholcd for musketry, and surrounded by a broad deep ditch; there is an inner fort or citadel, surrounded in like manner by a deep ditch, and with a high wall considerably elevated above the rest of the work. On the west and part of the south side there was a large piece of water which was partially dried up. On arriving before the north side, I sent for- ward some infantry in extended order, to enable the place to be reconnoitred, when a heavy fire of musketry was immediately opened upon them, and an occasional gun the cavalry at the same time swept entirely round to the west side, to cut off all communication with the for!. A tolerable view of the fort having been obtained from the road wl,i?? ka,ls imo it fIom the north, the heavy guns were brought up; the two IS.pounders were placed on it; the two -incil nicrtars behind a wood still further to the light. After a short time, a great many of tbe intantry were killed and wounded from having crept up too near the r'ort. from which the fire of rifles and matchlocks was very heavy. These men had gone much nearer to the fort than I wished or intended them to go, and some of the Punjaub Kiflcs, with great courage, hut without orders, jumped into the ditch and were killed in endeavouring to get up the scarp. I there- fore gave directions that they should be withdrawn trom their torward and exposed situation, and here it was that I regret to say the gallant and able soldier, brigadier Hope was killed by a rifle or musket baU tired by a mllll t'rolJJ a 1¡i:;h 'ree within the waHs ofthe plaee. By bdf'p,1'¡ two o'cloch. the fire of our heavy guus ap- peared tohave made little or no impression upon the place, tne passage to wmch was not straight, and as it could not be approached without the men being exposed to a very heavy tire from the bastion and loop-holed walls that commanded it, I considered it better not to attempt an assault until more impression had been made upon the walls of the place, and as it was getting late, to withdraw from the north side and commence operations against the south-east angle on the following morning, which had been reconnoitred by the engineers, and where they thought it would be easier to effect a breach, cs it could be better, seen and a more direct fire could be brought to beM. I therefore directed the camp to be pitched on the south side, about a mile from the fort, and withdrew from the north side, where it would have been dangerous to have passed the night, as it was surrounded by thick jungle. Xext morning, at daylight, Major Brind, Bengal Anil1ery, and Captain Lennox, .Roy.il Engineers, proceeded again to reconnoitre the place thoroughly before recommencing operations, and found that the enemy had evacuated it. Till TA111W.; OF JHANSI. itere is also in the Gazette a very long despatch from Sir II. Kose, giving an account of his successful undertaking at Jhansi. He says:—A remarkable feature in the defence was, that the enemy had no works or posts outside the city. Sir Robert Hamilton estimated the numb r of the garrison at 10.000 bun- deelas and valartees, ami 1,000 "CPOYS, of whom 400 were cavalry; and the Dumber of guns in the city aid fort at 30 or 40.

FOREiGN AFFAIRS. FRACE, Tilt; HDItOlNE or JEDDAH.— IMPERIAL GENEROSITY.— THE 13OURSE. RAMPANT NAI-OLEONISM. A TRAGIC DEATU. It is said that the Emperor Xapaleoa has determined to present Lveillai (I with X4,000, as a testimony of his admiration of her conduct and courage on the occasion of the barbarous murder of her father at Jed- dah; and the Turkish Ambassador in Paris has told Count AVtilewski that the Sultan intends presenting thc families of the murdered Consuls with X6,000 each, as a compensation for their loss.—The Vatrie observes:- We must not be surprised at the insensibility with which the manifest symptoms of an iraprovtnent in the political Hnù financial situation have been received at the Bourse. We are now in the period when speculators fly from Paris for repose; arid we must make up our minds to see the present inactivity prolonged until autumn.—It has been decided, says a Paris correspondent, that, during ttic sbsence of the Emperor, the Cabinet Councils will be held under the presidency of Prince Jerome, and, in his absence, under Prince Napoleon, Minister of Algeria and the Colonies.—The fashionable circles of Paris have lost one of their greatest fl\ourite:3, by the tragieal death of the Marquise de Rouge, who was thrown out of her carriage while driving out near Amiens. In fall- iti,, her foot caught in the step, and she was dragged along a stony road until she was deprived of life. ITALY. A 1.1 Ml "TENANT SHOT DEAD BY A CORrORAL.—T11E J-ITDMOXT ELECTIONS.—TIIE PRISU Of PEUAO, Private acccounts from Naples, of thc 13th msts., state that on the 8th a corporal of .Marines, being in the act of relieving guard in the interior of the Palace, saw his lieutenant pass, and forthwith shot him dead. The act was committed by the corporal in revenge for a slap in the face given him by the lieutenant a few days pre- viously during the procession of St. Louis do Gonzaga. when the corporal quitted the ranks to drink a glass of icedwatcr at the corner of a street. The corporal said nothing at the moment lie received the blow, but awaited his opportunity. The man was tried by a court-martial the following day, and sentenced to be hung. The sentence was executed on the 10th, in front of the prison of S'lll Francisco, in prensencc of not less than 50,000 people. lie died penitent, and expressed great regret for his crime.—A private letter from Turin, of the litb, states that out of the 13 elections inst over in Piedmont la have ended in favour of Government candidates.— In the prison of Paliano a disturbance broke out last year amongst the political prisoners, and several of those unhappy persons were mercilessly, and without necessity, shot down by the soldiers. The ringleaders of the riot are now put upon their trial, and have been removed for that purpose to the prisons in Rome: it is feared that live of them will be condemned to death. GERMANY. POLITICAL TRIALS. The Criminal Court of Butzow, in Meeklenburg- Schwcrin, has just concluded a trial, which lasted from 1S53 till now, of 15 individuals for conspiracy in plotting to overthrow the Governments of Germany. One of the accnsed died during tbe trial, three were acquitted, and I I condemncd to imprisonment for periods of from four months to three years. AUSTRIA. EXTENDING THE I!LIT:,r.Y MARINE. The Cuurrier de Paris makes tb f0110wIng remarks on the extension of the military marine of Austria:- Austria occupics herself fictively with the amelioration and extension of her military marine in the Adriatic. The first ship of the line which will have been con- structed in her dockyards will be launched on the 4th of October; it will be called the Emperor: a second will soon be finished, and will be llamed the Austria. The Archduke Maximilian is commissioned to take measures to augmeDt the number of great vessels be- j longing to Antia The Adriatic squadron will soon be composed entirely of sc,el-? sLips." PLZUSSIA. TIIE QUEEN'S nSIT TO HEREIN. Letters from Berlin state that the t¿ucen", visit to Berlin is to be strictly of a family character. Notice has been given that there are to be not fetes nor salutes, nor any of tbe usual demonstrations consequent on the ,?s,t ??fa crowned head. The whole cause of the sudden change in the programme is unknown, and the uncertainty has caused serious alarms regarding the health of the Princess Frederick William. TURKEY AND THE EAST. THE SALTAN'S RELIGIOUS SUPREMACY.—THE JEIIDAll MASSACRE.—MORE REVOLTS.—SERIOUS POSITION OF OMAR PACHA. The Fays publishes the following paragraph in a prominent place in its evening edition:—" It appears from information recently received, that dissensions of a serious character broke out at Mecca, during the late religious fetes, betwixt the principalllInssulmrm nation- alities; and that the fanatical portion of the inhabitants of lIedjaz, headed by an Arab chieftain named Beck-el- Ilafer, who enjoys a great reputation as a holy person- age throughout the country, formed itself into an inde- pendent sect, under the name of True Believers.' That sect, it seems, is assuming great extension. It shows very unfavourable dispositions towards the Porte, and does not recognise the religious supremacy claimed by the Sultan as Emperor of the Ottomans. This situation merits to be pointed out. The religious rights of the 'Chief of the Ottomans' are unquestionable. Their maintenance is necessary for the peace of all Eastern countries." More bad news comes from Constantinople. The execution of the unfortunate Ilatti Ilumayoun seems, as far as regards recruitment, now to meet with great opposition, even in the thoroughly Mahomedan provinces of Bagdad. A letter from that city, in the Pressc d'Or;ellt, announces that in consequence" of some manifestations which have taken place on that subject, Omar Pacha, instead of being able to cope, as he had hoped, against the murderers of Jeddah, by sending a detachment of his troops to that point, was obliged to keep them near him, and to postpone his intended ex- pedition into Kurdistan, in order to put an end to the depredations of the tribe of Beni-Lam, who had re- volted and pillaged the country in various directions within forty-five miles of Bagdad. A great number of farmers had (led to Persia to escape the recruitment. Some partial engagements had taken place between the troops of Oiner Pacha and the insurgents, but the latter, being about 15,000 strong, are able to keep their ground, and, by adopting the Arab tactics of dispersing when likely to be attacked, manage to escape. It is, however, feared that the revolt, by being joined by other tribes, may become more formidable, and call for fresh troops from the Turkish Government. RUSSIA. "IITIRY OF THE CIRCASSIANS—THE RUSSIANS CAUGHT IN A TRAP—THE PEASANT REVOLT. IV e learn by way of Constantinople, by a letter dated July 10th, that the Russians have received a very se- vere check in Daghestan and Leghistan. With 5,000 regulars, 10,000 irregulars, two heavv and as many light field butteries, they last month attempted to obtain possession of some highly important defiles near Koodo Kalla, The place mentioned was taken by storm by four battalions of the line and 6,000 :rregulars, and Sultan Daniel and his followers retreated in disorder. The Russians being elated by their victory, entered the pass, and, while cooking, were surprised by the mountaineers. After losing 1,800 men and eight guns, the Russians retreated in the greatest disorder to Rissar, but they could not maintain their position there, and fall back on Seirven," An English naval officcr was in the camp of Sultan Daniel. The latest accounts an- nounce that the disorders in Esthonia are not completely quieted, but it is certain they will be pnt down without much trouble. Despatches from St. Petersburg state that the Czar Alexander has not only withdrawn the decree prohibit- ing iili le s h ,„ lb. >e-. i f n .0 us -he I'lii i -h language 1 u '• ■■ uti.a. which iiau been f -"• d u i- y t.ua;o.e.

A letter from St. Petersburg states that her Majesty the Empress Dowager of Russia will shortly visit the King and Queen of Prussia at Tegernsee. A letter from St. Petersburg states, that in not fewer than thirty-eight governments of Russia, in which there are 9,713 serfs, committees of emancipation haye been formed. The Specula (Vliaiia, of Vero.ia. has recei ved a warn- ing for an article on the Museuit. of that tawil, containing observations considered hostile ;0 the Austrian Govern- ment. A I UMAI.F.

The second prise has been given to 1. Edmund Cherouvrier, pupil of Leborno. The drawing of tbe engraving, tbe Dispute of Raphael," by Prof. Keller, of Dusseldorf, has been pnr- chased by the Berlin Cabinet for eDgra ;ing. for the sum of 3,000 thalers, and is at this moment being exhi- bited there.

THE GREAT COMET SEEN I.T L/.ST.—It is stated in letters from Paris that the great cornet, wh;eh WU3 so much Miked of about a year ago, b.i? fail ed appear, has been descried, just below the hOl'iLon. at ific Paris Observaton". The point of emergence is said to be ?de!lticI7LI,?v??ttl a n.os.th ago by Professor Donati, of Florence. Tbe Invalid liussc says t:t the Einpeicr of Russia and the Prince of Wurtetnbnrgii arri ved at Arcliangel Oll the 19th ult, (O.S.) On their arrival they visited the cathedral and other public bnih1ings, and inspected tbe hospitals, schools, barracks, etc. After a short stay the illustrious party continued their journey. The Cologne Gazette, in mpntioning the state of ciops in Prussia, declares that the long drought lias undoubt- edly done some injury, but not to the extent represented by many persons. The rye, potato, and wheat crops would be of an average character; oats and barley would be below the ordinary yield; and forage had failed completely. The -Institut Superieur do Commerce," at Antwerp, has been established for the acquirement of the higher branches of commercial knowledge, at the joint expense and u der the immediate ratronage of the Belgian Government and of the Municipal Council of the City of Antwerp, in virtue of a Royal Decree of the 29th of October, 1852. The King of Naples continues in gloomy retirement at Ischia, which island has been renùciccl almost in- accessible. The other day thirty-four pea pIc wcrc turned back, because not supplied with proper papers. l'raneisco Yalcntini lias been c( ndemnec1 to twenty-five years in irons, though no crime is alleged against him save that he was captain in the l'ktional Gaan] ten years ago. Dr. Maisonouvo's new system or avoidance of ampu- tation in cases of injured limbs has been presented to the Academic de Medicine, and essayed in vnriol1 hospi- tals with complete success. The invention consists in the application of a machine by which the limb is torn from the socket without pain and without loss of blood, tbe patient in some cases being completely restored in the course of a few days. A COSILY JEWEL.—During the last few days a great diamond, the property of some strangers at Laibach, in Carniola, has been much talked of at Vienna. The travellers asked 3,000,000 florins ( £ 300,000) for their jewel, but the police have had them arrested, and brought at Vienna. The nationality of the possessor of the stone is not known, but his two travelling companions are from France. The Journal oj the Two Sicilies, of the 6tb, gives an account of the fearful ravages caused by the late storms in the provinces of Principato Citeriore, Terra di Bari, Terra di Lavoro, and Primo Abruzza Ultra. The in- undation caused by the rains destroyed several bridges, and washed away or choked the crops, while several persons were killed by lightning. The loss of cattle is stated to be very large. ASSASSINATION IN HOIE, letter from Rome of the 9th, in the Opionione of Turin, states that a few days before it bookseller of Forli, who had been several months in prison on suspicion of being implicated in a political conspiracy, and had beesi released for want of sufficient evidence, was stabbed to death in the streets by an unknown hand. As the victim of this crime belonged to the constitutional or Piedmontese party, the act is attributed to seme euissa.ry of the ultra reyo- lutionist party, which hates the constitutionalists quite as much as it does the Government. On tLe arrival of the accounts from the coast of Araby, describing how that gallant girl, Mdlle. Eveillard, after the massacre of her Ùther, the French consul, and her mother, whom she valiantly defended, killing a fanatic and fighting her way to the Cyclops, the Empress Eugenie at once declared she would act as mother to her, and provide her with a suitable marriage portion. The maid of Djedda will now ¡ake r¡¡nk with Judith of Bethalia, Clelia of the, Tiber, and the maids of Saragossa and of Orleans. Mdlle. Moet, the daughter of the proprietress of the well known Champagne wines, says a Paris letter in the Gazette dll Midi, is about to marry her cousin, M. Auban. Mme. Moet, having been married many years without having any children, had adopted her nephew, M. Auban, and some time after she gave birth to her daughter. It was then decided in the family that the two cousins, on arriving at a fitting age should be united. The young lady receives a fortune of l,000,000f. in money, 800,000f. for residence and furniture, and 200,000f. for a trousseau. The bridegroom receives a share in the business. The ililan Gazette publishes the lollowinganecdote A journal published at the Paths of Kissengcn gave, at the head of tbe list of visitors who had arrived at that place, the name of Kayser Napoleon (Emperor Napoleon). Some idea may be formed of the comments which were caused by this announcement. The fact was contradicted by the Bavarian journals. In its following number the journal, which had been'attacked on the score of inexactitude, published the following note: Very credulous are those newspaper writers who imagine that there is only one man who bears the name of Kayser Napoleon. We persist in saying that there is at the Baths of Kissengen iI personage who calls himself Kayser (Napoleon); he is a subject of Bavaria, and a judge of the .1?rst Class, THEATRICAL HlOT AT HAVF.I:.—We find the following in the Havre journals:—"The second appearance of Mdlle. Marie Leraux at our theatre has been the cause of considerable disturbance. At this lady's debut, some evenings since, disapprobation was expressed by the audience; but on this occasion the hostile feeling was still more strongly manifested. The moment the eartain rose, an explosion of discontent burst forth, which put a stop to the representation. The commissary of police, in consequence, came forward, and stated that persons ( disturbing the performance should be expelled, and that if ijtiiet were not then restored the theatre slioald be cleared. Tbe opposition then ceased, but one of the J;oljeagef¡!. either misunderstanding his instructions, in being over neaio is. took one of the critics who hall previously expressed disapprobation into custody, and remove,l h:m \Jut 0i' ¡I,e house. This caused a general commotion, and the theatre was in a few minutes after empty'. Groups, however, assembled outside, and com. na-nted in severe terms on the conduct of tbe police. On the following vserniug the r)ia %or issued a notice, ordering thí:t. ]!j!e. Lcroux should not again appear, and that the director should, with as little delay as possible, replace her by another." EXTRAOF.I>J:JART INSTANCE OF HOARDING rÚXEL- The Courier tie Furis contains the foJlowing;-A re- markable instance of the mania jor hoarding up money has just been bil_)\1htto light in the Faubourg St. Ger- nMin during liie process of taking an inventory after the decease of an old woman, who for many years had lived in a very retireù manner in that part of Paris. When the notary who was engaged in this operation went down jnto!he cellar, to take an account of what the place con- tained, his attention was attracted to a small opening just over the low door. This door was opened, and the notary found himself in the presence of an immense pile of bags of money. In order to take them out and count their contents, he was obliged to send for nearly all the clerks of r-is office. There were in the bags a quantity of gold and foreign coins, but five franc, pieces formed tbe principal part of this rich store. Some of the bags were completely rotten, and fell to pieces on being touched. The inventory is not yet completed, but the amount of this treasure is estimated at not much less a than a million. The origin of this immense fortune is as fo11ows:-1\bout ninety years ago a poor Savoyard bov from Chamouni t ame to Paris, and engaged himself in ingng and t1.:ncing in the streets, anti at other tinHS in sweeping chimneys. At the end of a few years he had saved up a little money, and commenced business on his own accoiiDt. By dint of industry and economy lie had at length become a wealthy man, married, and at his death left his widow £ 80,000 a year. She hardly spent O.COOf. a year, and the remainller she put in bags, ancl threw threugh the above-mentioned opening into the sort of cupboard in the cellar, where these thousands of francs remained until she died at the age of 88. She had besides purchased several houses, and, was the owner of tbe Theatre du I,nxembonrg, By her will she has left: :COO,OOOf. to the hospices of the city of Paris, 300,000f. to other charitable establishments, 20,000f. to her servant. and some legacies to distant relatives of her husband, who still live in Savoy. Her notary and avoue are in- stituted her universal legatees." DRAMATIC SCENE AT THE SCAVFOLD.—It was men- tioned some time since, that M. Lindalb, editor of the Faderneslandet, of Stockholm, had been condemned to be beheaded for having accused a young lady of that city of a horrible crime (the nature of which, however, was not stated). On the 2nd of July, which was fixed for his execution, he said to some friends who were with him in the prison. "I am about to sutler death which I have merited, and yon will at least see that I die with courage." He then took some papers from a table, and gave them into the care of the chaplair. One letter, sealed with black, was in a Bible; he took it out, and placed it in his bosom. You will take this letter," he said, after my death, and deliver it to the person to whom it is addressed. Now, gentlemen, let its go." "Very well, sir," replied the director of the poison," unless you apply fur pardon to Mdlle. Mendelsohn, wh has the power to grant it and spare your life." I- Proceed. gentlemen," said Lindalb, at the same time taking the arm of tile chap1!\in, with whom he conversed in a low tone; he descended the staircase of the prison, and with a firm step crossed the courtyard which led to the platform where the scaffold bad been erected, and where the block and the executioner with his axe were in readiness. Twelve persons, as required by the law, were present as witnesses. Lindalh stopped at the foot of the steps leading up to the seaffo1<1, when his hands were tied behind him, and bis eyes bandaged. He then said, Farewell, gentlemen; to those who have seen my life, be careful to relate my death, roml my repentance," and began toasceud the stcps. In a moment he felt his hands released, and the bandage removed from his eyes, and turning round saw that it bad been done by Mdlle. Mendelsohn. M. Lindalh," she said, I pardon you." He threw himself at her feet, and taking tbe letter from his bosom gave it to her, saying, I- I accept your pardon, for iny last thought was to im- plore it from your kindness; I felt sure that yoa would at least give it at Iny tomb."

THE LATE BOILSI: EXPLOSION AT DEANE MILL, ROSSENDALE.—As w the cause of this explcsiou, by which three lives were lost, a person has offered to give evidence that on the morning of the explosion the safety- valve of the boilcr was propped down by a piece of timber, one end upon the valve and the other fixed against the cciling of the boiler-house. )1r. Ilargreaves, the coroner, however, has intimated that, unless another death should oecur from this explosion, his inquiry is closed, and that any further investigation should be made before the magistrates; end the bench of Bacup decline to re-open the case.—Manchester Guardian. SII.IKSPEP.E'S AUTOGRAPHS.—A paragraph has gone the round of the papers within the last few days, in- forming the public that the signature of the immortal Shakspere may be seen at the British Museum, affixed to the mortgage deed of a deed of purchase of a house in Blackfriars, on the 11th of March, 1012-13. Perhaps our feilow-citizens and the public generally, who feel an interest in such matters, will thank us for stating that there is to be seen in the City library at Guildhall, Shakspcre's autograph signature, awxe.1 to the identical deed of purchase of the same property, dated the 10th of March; showing that the said purchase was effected only one day before the mortgage took place. The signature to the mortgage deed at the British Museum is Wm. Shakespeare;" to the deed of purchase at Guildhall the signature is written in full, "William Shakespeare," the Christian name being ranieularIy legible. DREADFUL ACCIDENTS BY FIIIE,-On Tuesday morn- ing a frightful accident occurred to a tine young woman named Georgiana Collins, resilling in the York-road, Lambeth. The unfortunate sufferer wa.s walking home, when she accidentally placed her foot on a fusee match, and se, her muslin dress alight. The flames mounted high in the air, and were with difficulty extinguished. She was conveyed to Guy's Hospital, where she remains in a dangerous state. It is only a few days ago that a similar accident occurred at the Crystal Palace. On Monday evening, at about a quarter to ten o'clock, a female was standing at the bar at Vauxhall Gardens, talking to a gentleman, when some one standing near threw down a lighted piece of paper Oil the ground. She stepped back, and her dress (a light gauze) caught fire, and completely enveloped her in flames. Tlic by- standers immediately rushed to her assistance, and the flames were subdued. -Air. Flexmore, the celebrated clown, gave his assistance, and she was carried to Westminster HœpitaJ. DISCOVERY OF EGYPTIAN ANTIQUITIES.—Some time since an account was given of riotous proceedings on the part of Italian snd other foreign refugees at Alexandria, and which induced Rear Admiral Clavaud to proceed to that port from Smyrna in the Pomone frigate. From Alexandria the admiral and some of his officers pro- ceeded, on the pressing invitation of the Viceroy, to visit Cairo and the different works going on for the barrage of the Nile. They also went to the Serapeum, which was discovered by M. Mariette about four Far ago. The party on ascending the Nile, examined the ancient quarries of Toura, from which the stones used in building the Pyramids were extracted. M. Mariette who was with the admiral, informed him that in making excavations near that spot the skeletons of 600 workmen were found with their tools lying beside them. It is supposed that these men perished, perhaps, 4,000 ago, by a sudden fall of earth and rubbish. All their tools are made of tempered copper, On reaching a certain distance up the river, the party landed and proceeded on horseback. ??t Mitrahine, a village built in the middle of the ancient Memphis, thc admiral was shown the colossal statute of the Great Rhamses, which is in excellent preservation. It was given by the Viceroy to the English, but has never been removed, from the want of proper means for so doing. The party at length reached the Serapeum, and entered, by the light of nu- merous torches, the immense grottoes, where they be- held the large table standing in the sarcophagus of the Ox Apis. Twelve persons stood round the table and drank a toast to the Viceroy and to France. Twenty- four sarcophagi in granite, all about the same size, and most beautifully polished, are ranged along in these immense caverns. They are all formed out of a single block. Some of them weigh at least 70 tons, and even more. Some tourists have broken off pieces to carry away as souvenirs of their visit. After examining the Sera- peum, the party returned to the nearest village, where three mummies were opened, all of which were in a state of decomposition. Some antique vases were also opened containing eggs of the Ibis, which were divided among the party as curiosities, perhaps 4,000 years old.
EXTRAORDINARY CAE OF MANSLAUGHTER…
EXTRAORDINARY CAE OF MANSLAUGHTER BY A SURGEON. Considerable excitement has been created at Streat- hum and its vicinity in consequence of n young female. named Elizabeth Hainpsher, dying under the following most extraordinary circumstances :-It appears the deceased was a single woman, but it was snspeded that she was enciente, and on tbe 20th of June her aUllt, lIIrs, Sarah Ingram, entered her bedroom and found the deceased in a standing position, and on a bed by her side was all infant, to which she had just given birt h. Mrs. Ingram at once sent for medical assistance, and Mr. Francis Ward, a surgeon, promptly attended. After directing his care to tb° Mr. Ward bestowed all his attention upon the notlier for upwards of an hour and a half. The aunt bad occasion to leave the room, and on her return she mifSed her pocket handkerchief off the bed. The deceased was then very ill, and upon the suggestion of Mrs. Ingram, another medical gentleman, Mr. J. C. I'arrott, was called in. After some questions, Mr. Parrott attended upon the mother, but at once saw it was a hopdess ease, as her intestines were ruptured. On missing her handkerchief ofr the bed, Mrs. Ingram asked Mr. Ward if be bad got>it, and be put his halld in his pockct and pullcd it Ollt, and in it was some substance which alterwavds was found to be a portion of tbe small intestines of the deceased, which had been pulled away hy Mr. Ward. The deceased, after lingering for seven ii ys, expired from the rupture. Two inquiries were instituted by W. Carter, Esq., coroner for the Eastern Division of Surrey, at the White Lion Tavern, at Streatham, and on the second occasion Mr. Ward had the legal assistance ot Mr. Sleigh, the barrister, instructed by Mr. Wontner. Mr. Ward at- tended, but left before the investigation terminated. The jury, after a consultation of upwards of an honr, returned a verdict of manslaughter against Francis Ward, and tiie coroner issued 11 S warrant for -"Ir.1 Ward's apprehension.

TilE II[;1\GArIA" PROTESTANTS.—For some time past I the Protestants of Hungary have been earnestly apply- ing to the AlItriau Government to obtain the regular- isation of their spiritual affairs. A deputation of the members of the Confession of Ausbnrg went some short time back to Vienna, but all they obtained was the advice of the Minister of Public Worship to exercise Christian patience. Another deputation, letters state, is now about to proceed to the capital of the Empire, but it probably will have no greater success than the other, for the address which they were to deliver to the Emperor, and which has been printed, in order to be distributed among the pastors of the different Protestant churches, has been seized by the police. This address, which was couched in terms full of devoted- nessto tbe Emperor, was intended only for private cir- en lat ion. CAUTION TO TRAVELLERS BY STEAMBUATS.—On the arrival of oue of thc Londou steamcrs the other day, a case was reported to the county police of rather a novel kind. Soon after the steamer left London, a lady ap- peared in great distress at having lost all her money, representing that her pocket had been picked on the way to the wharf, Two ladies on board the vessel, sympathising with her apparent dilemna, agreed to pay the expenses of her passage and her steward's bill on the journey, which they did. Throughout thc voyage they believed the bonafides of the object of their sym- pathy, her manner being ladylike, and her conversation, both in English and French, being fluent and agreeable. They were, however, a little surprised to see her rush past them without thanks on the gangway at Grantou, and sometime afterwards the elder of the two ladies missed her purse with one or two sovereigns, which she had had within half an hour of the steamer's arrival, and which she remembered to have last taken out in presence of the fugitive, to pay the steward's fee. Immediately she suspected the fraud committed upon her, and the suspicion against the pretended lady is strengthened by the fact kai another lady came to the police-office almost simultaneously to report that while in the steam- boat her pocket had been picked of her purse con- taining about £ 15.—Ediiibtiry Courant. ACCIDENT IN REGENT-STREET.—On Tuesday evening about 7 o'clock, a furniture van belonging to Ilr. Caplin j of Great Windmill-street, Ilaymarket, was standing at the Spread Eagle Office, Regent Circus, when suddenly the horse took fright, rushing with tremendous speed past the Gallery of Illustration and across the road to St. Phillip's Church, where it dashed on to the pavement. At this time a young child named Ann Smith, living in Windmill-street, was walking along in the care of her sister. The wheel of the van caught the poor little child and crushed her against the stone pillar in front of the church. She was immediately extricated and con- veyed by the kindness of a gentleman, who was passing at the time in his carriage, to St. George's Hospital It was found that the horse had got its hind leg entangled in the shafts, and immediately efforts were made to re- lease the poor animal, but when the same was accom- plished the carman, John Greenwood, who had hold of the horse's heal], was struck violently to the ground by the horse's fore feet, and on being picked up it was found that he had hoth his legs broken, beside other severe in- juries. Without deky he was conveyed in a cart to Charing Cross Hospital, where he received every atten- tion, but is in a very precarious condition. INDIAN NEWS FROM A FOREIGN SOURCE —The Taus gives currency to the following "news "from India, as tiaving been received from London" We learn that Mr. Montgomery—seeing that, instead of conciliating the inhabitants of Onde, the Government continued the system of spoliation and severity which was the origin of the present unhappy state of things, and that the iving of Oude, who was in prison in Calcutta long before he war broke out, is now to be brought to trial for high treason, and being of opinion that such a pro- ceeding would produce great irritation among the natives-has resigned the office to which Lord Canning appointed him, of chief of the administration of Oudc, He accompanied his resignation with a letter, in which he declared his opinion that if the present system should be acted upon much longer, Oude will be irre- vocably lost to England. The same correspondence mentions an important fact which may lead to very serious consequences. The four principal leaders of the revolt-Nan a Sahib, Bahadoor Khan, the Queen of Jhansi, and the Queen of Oudc-ha ve made a treaty of alliance, offensive and defensive. They have very considerable forces at their disposition, and have or- ganised native governments which are regularly in- stalled. This new situation molY greatly influence future operations." DARING ESCAPE.—A daring escape was made a few- evenings ago by an Irishman, named M-Quaid, from the Bridewell at Heading, to which place he had been re- manded on a charge of felony. The particulars, as far as have been gathered from the official inquiry, appear to be that, about 7 o clock in the evening the c'aoler who is an elderly and rather infirm man. went into the yard where the prisoner had been placed for the purpose of an and desired that he would return to his cell to be locked up for the night. This duty bad pre- viously been done by tbe gaoler's son, a strong yo-ang man; but the prisoner, finding the governor alunc, a once determined upon seeing whether he could not succeed in effecting his escape; and the prison being a place adapted from a portion of the old abbev, presented no great difficulties in the way of his accomplishing such a feat. The prisoner, who to all appearances pos- sessed great muscular strength, caught hold of the oM governor, to take the keys from him, but the latter was not willing to part with them, and a severe scuffle ensuel], which terminated in the prisoner throwing the old man on his back, and the shock which he received rendered him unable to offer further resistance. The prisoner got possession of the keys, and walker1 through the door and locked it, leaving the old man helpless and almost insensible on the ground. The long absence of the governor excited the suspicions of a woman livin- m the house, and her curiosity led her to go to a^et^'in the cause. She had not proceeded far into in nison when she met the prisoner with the keys in his hands ?hat was to be done, was a question w-,?.h sue.?ste? itself to the mmd of the prisoner, for ifshe ran back ihto the house he would be frustrated in .is o?cc- as it then only by going through the !wen?ous b- wou d be able to get c)ear awav. His thoughts served him, and he made up his mind to nut her in a place of security. He took hold of her, carried her to a part ot the building, closed the door, and bolted it upon her. All obstacles to further cress i.ein? re- moved, he then with the utmost M? /).o.? walked into the governor's apartments, and put some shoes on his feet and a cap on his head preparatory to taking his de- parture. He came to the front door, which is situated in Friar-street, and to disarm people of suspicion he re- mained a few seconds in the doorwav. and then turning round, and apparently bidding adieu by bowing several times, he quietly walked away. He got into a street leading in the direction of the Great Western Rai lway rind having erosssed some gardens and fields, all cl-ie o' him for the present has been lost. In all this time what had become of the governor and his female friend ? No one else being in the house, the only alternative they had was that of screaming and hallooing. They did this as loudly as they could, and the noise eventually «acce«W in attracting some one to the house. The noise was followed to the prisoners, and the discovery was made that the governer and the woman were both in confine- ment. The woman was instantly released, as the door had only been bolted; but the task of getting at the governor was more difficult, as the prisoner had taken away the keys with which the door had been lockcd. The s-ervi- ce^ of a locksmith having been obtaine,l -?e door was opened, and t?h1e ?go?vcrMr?w??f?m???'? jured, from the force with which he had been thrown down. He was removed to his bed, and 'reco? rd p?er nC and has  nearly recovered from the eE o rthe i n i u ries '?rV Ta ly recovered fromth« effects oi' the injnries.

ESCAPE FROM Tili: CASTLE OF…
ESCAPE FROM Tili: CASTLE OF SAiM (; I:LO. not to say á la Jack !■•■;eppard, has just been per- formed by a French jeweller and watchmaker, like- wise the proprietor or u. lorfcc. long established in Rome, who was arrested by tiio French authorities on the evening of the festival of St. Peter, charged with having created dis- turbance at the Porta del Popolo, insistin. v; driving in at that gate just before the giranuoia. and abusing and threatening the French soldiers stationed there. On account of the quarrelling and conflicts which just then prevailed betwecii French and Romans, the French general's ordrr- were extremely stringent for the punishment o. any such offenders, whether military or civilians, and the jeweller was taken oft' to the Castle of St Angelo to be tried by court-martial, a trial whkh it was generally inferred could not end without a condemnation to prison for a long or shorter period. Meanwhile the prisoner's wife made every ex- ertion in his behalf; and was upon the point of suc- ceeding, it is said, in softening the severity of the general-in-chief. when the prisoner himself, dis- gusted with the monotony of Hadrian's Mole, or apprehensive of the result of the court-martial. >: fearful that political accusations of anterior >i might be reproduced against him to aggravate t..e case, thought proper to abscond from the safe cus- tody of the French, by raising a part of the floor ot his room, dropping into a corridor below, d parsing down the winding stairs and out at the castle gate without being challenged by any of the sentries, from which fact it is interrc-d that he was provided with a military uniform to disarm any suspicion at his appcarance. The French general is extremely angry at his escape. He has had all the sentries placed in arrest, and gendarmes have been busily occupied since the morning on which the event took place. in searching for the fugitive, whose own premises have been minutely but fruitlessly ransEcked.

At Peakhaf. near Slokc-upon-Trent, the church was struck by light- ning, the roof being damaged, and the walls fracttirH. The congregation had left the church onlv 20 minute- before the storm commenced. An engine-house at Snevd- green was fired by the liglitiiin, the tall chimney L. longing to the naptha works at Joiners'-square, Hanley. and two other chimneys in the same town, were struck, by the electric fluid. At Stoke-upon-Trcnt a hole was knocked in the roof of a house, the lightning pa-stfig through the kitchen, in which several persons were sit- ting. but none of them received any injury.
