Persons connected with our Eastern empire are in a state of extreme anxiety, on account of the known disasatisfaction of all ranks of officers in the Company's service, with a recent measure determined on by the Court of Directors, and pro- mulgated and about to be enforced by Lord William Bentinek, for reducing a. large portion of the military allowances throughout the three presidencies of India According to letters which we have seen, all former troubles were mere flea-bites compared with those now likely to burst forth, if the present obnoxious ordinance of the Court of Directors be insisted on by the Governor-General in Council. It is affirmed that both Lord Hastings and Lord Amherst refused to execute the decree ; and now it is plain that Lord Combennere deprecates the possibility of his signature being employed as an ostensible sanction to a proceeding, which his reason and inclinations have equally and decidedly comidemned.—Times Oct. 17 THE New Pomo:es—At an early hour on Sunday morning, numbers of per- sons assembled, as usual, about the Seven Dials. The appearance of a small

body of policemen, in addition to the regular patrols, was the signal for the com- mencement of a "row," the men being assailed with all manner of abusive epithets, hootings, and groans. The men bore this treatment with admirable patience for some time, contenting themselves with requesting the disurderlies to disperse and go home quietly ; but their cautions were scoffed at, and, at length about thirty of them were secured, and shortly after the whole neighbourhood was quiet. The attention of another portion of the police force was at the same time directed to the state of Covent-garden-market and James-street, in which there are several coffee-shops and other flash houses, and where men and women of the worst character assemble : after considerable resistance, a few of the worst were seized and taken to the watehhouse ; and when the time of divine service approached. the streets were clear, and the respectable inhabitants going to their devotion were no longer in danger of witnessing some disgusting exhibition, or having their ears offended with blasphemous and filthy expressions, at the corner . of every street. There was no fewer than fifty-six prisoners locked up at four o'clock on Sunday afternoon. it is said that the Olympic theatre is to be converted into barracks for the New Police, the Commissioners having been for some days past in treaty for its purchase. Shneld the nemsotiation for the purchase of the theatre. prove success- ful, it will form the head quarters of the New Police force.

Daniel Hobbs; a man !nisi ng the appearance of a mechanic, was found on Sunday morning, by one of the New Police-omen, near the water's edge at the Arundel- stairs : the police-man removed him to the watchhouse : on his person were found three one hundred Bank of England notes, three sovereigns, and some silver. The money was returned to the man as soon as it was ascertained that he came honestly by it. Sir R. Birnie observed, that the man was very much in- debted to the police for the care taken of himself and his property. Not less than nine hundred pounds had been preserved to their owners by the new police, within the few weeks since the system commenced. Cases of this kind were never heard of under the old system. On Wednesday, the street-keeper of Cheapside applied to the Lord Mayor for an order to compel the hacknev-eoachmen to leave the stand in that street. The . Lord Mayor said, it would 110 'doubt be a great convenience to the shopkeepers in Cheapside, to get rid of the coach-stand ; but he advised the deputies to con- sult with the city solicitor. The hackney-coachmen ask where they are to have a stand, if not in a wide street ; and whether the accommodation of the public is not of more importance than that of a few shopkeepers who took up their abode in Cheapside with the knowledge of the established hackney-coach stand opposite to them ? In the other parts of the City, it is said, similar attempts will be made to drive away the hackney-coaches. On Monday morning some anonymous placards were stuck up, calling upon the journeyman weavers to assemble at the Crown and Anchor, Bethnal-green. Officers were sent to the spot, but every weaver that was asked, said he knew not by whom they were called. As it was understood that the officers had no instructions to interfere, but merely to prevent disturbance, a person took the chair, for the memo purpose of appointing a time for taking into consideration the alarming- state of trade; and a deputation was appointed to wait on the magis- trates to solicit their sanction to a general meeting for that purpose.

A considerable number of persons of the working class of different trades, held a meeting on Wednesday at the Duke of Clarence public-house, London-road, for the purpose of forming a "Co-operating Society," or "Working Union." A person present stated, that a Co-operating Society had been formed at Lambeth three months since, and was proceeding most prosperously. Several persons delivered opinions in favour of the formation of such a society, and resolutions and a subscription for that purpose were entered into.

James O'Connell opened the door, and, in his attempt to get out, fell and brut his arm a little above the elbow. Mr. O'Connell also jumped out at the sae: thne, and, falling on his back, received so violent a shock that he remained ia a state of insensibility for more than an hour after. He was conveyed to 11111.. grove, the residence of Mr. Primrose, about eleven miles distant, where he and Mr. O'Connell at present remain. Doctor Hickson, of Killarney, arrived at grove on Sunday, and remains in attendance on Mr. James O'Connell, who see considered to be in a very dangerous state—Letter from Dublin, October 14. The moorings of the Dolphin convict-hulk at Chatham, gave way about she o'clock on Friday morning : the hulk fell on its side, and immediately filled with sistance given from the dock-yard of the town, only three persons were dromied, who could not be got at ; and one convict, while endeavouring to get out, w:s water.

On the afternoon of Saturday week, a lady and a gentleman, both young, and eaollao steamer, which was about to proceed on the pasiage to Leith. The gentleman !mid the most anxious attention to the lady, but there was a mystery in the manner of both, which excited great curiosity. In a short time the gentleman went ashore, It soon became known that the lady was near her accouchement, and in the course of the night she gave birth to a boy. An intimation of the fact an made to her friends through seine unknown channel ; and her situation became so dangerous, that the voyage of the Soho was delayed, and Dr. Baillie and other physicians were called in. Her illness continued to increase rapidly, and in a few hours she expired. Just before her dissolution, two ladies mid a gentleman, muffled up, evidently for the purpose of avoiding recognition, arrived, and were deeply affected. They removed the infant, and „place7I it under the care of a respectable womnan, living at Poplar, where it remained until the funeral, which took place on Wednesday. The body was placed in a handsome coffin, and tile name engraved on the plate was " Alice Hope, aged twenty-three years." The body was removed in a hearse and pair, followed by one mourning coach, to the new church at Poplar, where it was interred. The strong north-east wind which prevailed on Wednesday, had the effect ie. causing the waters of the river Thanies to rise several feet above the usual Intl at high water, and several streets in Wapping, Rotherhithe, and also in the lower parts of Westminster, were completely inundated, and the cellars of a greet many houses were filled with water in consequence.

On Thursday afternoon, as the groom of Mr. Clarke, banker, was driving that

gentleman's wife and a female attendant, the horse took fright near the Ship public-house, Lambeth-stairs, and ran down Brenan's drawing-dock into the Thaines. The groom was thrown into the water, but was saved ; the female at- tendant caught hold of a boat-house, and was rescued by a young man who had a few seconds before been knocked down in attempting to stop the horse. Mrs. Clarke was by this time in deep water, and her head only could be seen: Mr. Smith jumped into the dock and caught her round the waist, and with further assistance got her on shore.

company of merchants at Manchester, trading to and from Liverpool, Leeds, York, and Halifax. The warehouses being full of cotton, burned with mashie rapidity : four barrels of gunpowder, which were on the premises of Messrs. Holland and Curtis, druggists, exploded, and caused them instantaneously to fall. The warehouses of Messrs. Barnaby were also destroyed ; and one of the fire- men lost his life. It is not known how the fire originated, but it was reported that one of the workmen of the company, fell asleep upon a quantiy of flax with

a lighted candle by his side. If that is the case, the poor fellow has most likely perished. Cotton to the value of 1300/. was consumed, and beans, flour, and flax, to the amount of 10001., besides the loss of time building, calculated at 60001.
