Madame Lemmens-Sherrington is expected to arrive in England almost immediately. Aliss Gertrude Kemble will probably appear in "The Messiah" at St. Martin's Hall, next month. The visit of Lord Stratford de Redcliffe to England is entirely in relation to his private affairs. The will of the late Mr. J. P. Sturge, the city surveyor of Bristol, has been proved under £ 25,000. The Government has determined to erect a circular battery to defend Kingstown harbour, and to arm it with 68-pounders. A copy of the first folio of Shakspeare's plays, (1623) has been met with in a carpenter's shop near Maidenhead, and is now in proper hands. Foreign Catholic papers announce that Mdll°. Rachel, the well-known Tragedienne, was received into the Catho- lic Church at Paris on the 18th ult. It is agreed to divide the lucrative living of Stur- minster-Marshall, in Dorsetshire, into three perpetual curacies of about £400 per annum each. It is stated, with seeming confidence, that a bill is in preparation-if not actually prepared-for the abolition of the Lord Lieutenancy of Ireland. The Great Western Railway Company will not make a single application to Parliament in the ensuing session. This is unprecedented in the history of the line. The Rev. B. P. Chace, vice-principal of St. Mary- Hall, Oxford, has been appointed by the Chancellor, the Earl of Derby, to be principal, in the room of Dr. Bliss. Lord Palmerston has given his entire concurrence to Lord John Russell's proposal to introduce, at an early date, a bill for the admi&sion of Jews into Parliament. The death of Vice-Admiral Sir William Fitzwilliam Owen places a service pension on the reserved half-pay list at the disposal of the First Lord of the Admiralty. A plan has been prepared by the Attorney-General for creating a separate department of Justice, to be entrusted with a supervision of the legal administration of the coun- trj\ The will of General Sir George Henry Frederick Berkeley, K.C.B., Lte M.P. for Devonport, of Stratton- street, Piccadilly, has been sworn uuder £ 40,000 per- sonalty. A conference of the maritime powers of Europe will shortly be held in London, to discuss the African erai- gration scheme, and its bearings upon the African slave trade. WELLS.—The office of minor canon in the Cathedral church, is now vacant by the promotion of the Rev. Thos. i Henry Hawes, B.D., Magdalen College, Oxford, to the living of Burgh Castle, Suffolk. The sum of JE89 9s. 3d. has been remitted to the mother of the ill-fated L'Angelier, the lover of Madeline Smith, as the result of the subscription entered into by a few friends on her behalf. The distress caused by lack of employment in the large towns appears not to have increased, and praise. worthy efforts have been made in most of the places to mitigate the hardships of the poor. Mr. Thomas Ebenezer Webb, M.A., and son of a Wesleyan minister at Brecon, has been appointed Pro- fessor of Moral Philosophy in the University of Dublin, vacated by the death of Professor Archer Butler. The youthful sailor prince—his Royal Highness Prince Alfred—has during the past week given a series of dinners to the captains and commanders of the several men.of.war at Portsmouth, at his residence atAlverbank, near Gosport.

OUR. DBAn FRIENDS IN ST. PETERSBURG.—The follow- ing advertisement appeared in one of the St. Petersburg papers -11 To be sold, potraits of Nena Sahib, the Indian chief, the slayer of the English, at 15 copecks each, the proceeds for the relief of the sufferers in the Crimea." The East India Company has granted an annuity of JELOOO a-year to General Sir Archdale Wilson, of Delhi, and also two several pensiona of £ 500. to the nearest sur- viving relatives of the lite Generals Nicholson and Neill. In the case of General Nicholson, we believe the pension accrues to his mother, and in the case of General Neill, to his widow. THE ADJOURNMENT OF PARLIAMENT.—We under- stand that if the debate on the Bank Charter Committee is not adjourned there will be nothing to prevent Parlia- ment from rising for the holydajs on Monday next. It is believed to be the intention of Her Majesty's Govern- ment not to entertain any business beyond that at present before the House. In any case the two Houses will ad- journ in the beginning of next week till the period at which Parliament usually assembles.

THE MUTINIES^ IN INDIA. The following telegram was received at the ForeiffrT- office at 6.35 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 7, dated Cagliari from Lord Lyons, Malta, 2 p.m., Dec. 4:- Political intelligence received at Suez per Orien- tal on the 28th of November: Two convoys of provisions arrived safely at Luck- now, where Havelock was still surrounded by large numbers of the enemy, who were said to have 300 guns. There had been some severe fighting, and General Outram was reported to have been wounded. Sir Cohn, Campbell and staff left Namwoor* for Cawn- pore on the 28th of October, to which place the troops were being moved as quickly as possible, and will pro- ceed to the relief of Lucknow when in sufficient strength. ''The following steamers had arrived in Calcutta with troops since the departure of the last mail The bydney and Australian, passed the Ladv Jocelvn November the 10th, and Candia, near the Sand Heads. 1 here were the (at ?) Madras steamships Victoria and Carthage at Galle, Robert Lowe, Cleopatra, and &hip Merchantmenf. The Emeu left Aden on the 20th for Bombay. Calcutta, Nov. 1; Madras, Nov. 6: Galle November 20. Calcutta t t The Merchantman, which sailed on the 26th of July with 330 men of the 19th Regiment. The following telegraphic message has at least been received at the East India House. The mail itself, which it was intended this message should anticipate by several days, seems to have arrived at the same time: — "CALCUTTA, OCT. 31. LUCKNOW.—Communication still difficult, and no certain intelligence from Lucknow of later date than the 21st of October received in this office. On that date food was running short, and it would seem that the gun-bullocks were being slaughtered. But relief was approaching, Colonel Greathed's column, after re- occupying Mynpooree, putting the Rajah to flight, and recovering much property and two and a half lacs of treasure, reached Cawnpore on the 26th. For some time past troops have been leaving this daily for the same destination, and the Commander-in-Chief started on the 27th. u'1!?6 focrfe' of about I'200> from Delhi, under Brigadier bhewers, occupied Dadree on the 15th of October, taking six guns; and then, being joined by Cashmere troops, took possession of Jhujjur, with 21 guns and much ammunition. The Nawah surrendered himself. On the 20th they seized Kanood, cutting off 400 of the Nawab's troops, and taking five lacs of treasure. DELHI.—There is redoubt that tbe King's life has been guaranteed. He will be sent to Allahabad, for conveyance to Calcutta. Particulars have been called for. REWAH.—The arrival of the Madras troops at the Kuttra Pass put everything at Rewah into the Politi- cal Agent s hands. The Sirdars submitted, and gave up the prisoner whom they had forcibly released. The Rajah expressed extreme regret, and quiet was resto- red. The Political Agent intended to return from the camp at the Kuttra Pass to Rewah on the 25th. The troops were to march from the camp towards Cawn- pore. "NATIVE STATES.—An agent of the Nena Sahib has put hiinseif at the head of the mutineers of the Gwalior Contingent, and it is thought probable that he may form a junction with the the Dinapore muti- neers at Banda, or that he may march direct on Calpee. The Gwalior mutineers left Gwalior on the 15th and 16th, with siege-train, field-guns, and much ammuni- tion, and have been heard of 36 miles from Gwalior. Major Burton, the Political Agent at Harrowtee. has been foully murdered, with his two sons, by the Raj troops. The Hajah is said not to have been concerned in the act. Jodbpore mutineers have gone towards the Sambhur Lake, and the Indore mutineers, who were defeated at Agra on the 10th, have fled to Raj- pootana.

The Emperor of Russh is about to erect a monument in memory of the 1000th year of the existence of the Rus- sian Empire. The birih of an heir to the Spanish Crown has not been followed by any extraordinary display of feeling in Madrid.

The Archduke Governor-General of Lombardy has, by a decree of the 26th, granted a full pardon to eleven political refugees.

Professor Rauch, of Berlin, has just received a magni- ficent block of pure Carrara marble weighing forty-five thousand pounds, out of which he means to hew his statue of Moses. A Polish noble is exciting much sensation in Paris by bis great wealth, and the lavish way in which he is spending it. He is the Count of Branicki. He is at this moment entertaining Prince Napi_l?on and a number of noted literary men.
