      India. Bombay, Sept. 14. There Has Been ...

      INDIA . Bombay , Sept . 14 . There has been more fighting in Berar . The pay of the Nizam ' s contingent is now seven months in arrears . An army of 10 , 000 to 15 , 000 men is said to await us ' atProme ; 7 , 000 at Pegu , with 4 , 000 Casay horse ; 10 , 000 at Sheo-gain ; and other considerable bodies at other posts close at hand ; while Ava itself is reported to be crowded wiih soldiers .

      News from Rangoon to the 25 th , and from Moulmain to the 19 th of August , has iust reached Bombay , via Calcutta . The garrison n * ** j . ** ¦* ¦ of Martaban was incessantly annoyed by snuggling parlies of Burmese , who never stopped to let our men havpabrusli with them . One European Artilleryman had been shot dead by them . A large body of the enemy was said to be in . the neighbourhood , concealed in the jungles . After these a force was sent out when a reinforcement reached Moulmain from Madras . The present garrison of Martaban is to be pushed up to Thoung-noo when others arrive to take their places . From Rangoon there is very little news .

      Eleven guns have been put in position on the river near Prome , the capture of which will afford probably half an hour ' s amuseto the sailors of the fleet . A troop of horse artillery and the iDth Native Infantry left Madras for Rangoon on the 30 th of Au ust . The 1 st European Fusiliers was to follow on the bth inst . The Fire Queen steamer had been armed with eight twelve-pounders , under the superintendence of Commodore Lambert , at Moulmain . The gallant officer returned in her to Rangoon on the 20 th . Two

      thousand men are taken up at a time io Prome by the steamers . When the whole army shall have thus reached that place , expected to be about the 1 st of January , a movement on Ava is to be made , the 1 st of February being likely to arrive before it gets properly on iis way . Oeneral Bundoolah ' s son , with the ex-Governor of Rangoon a / id Martaban , is at Prome ; they are said to wish to deliver themselves up to us—lhe fact being that they wished to stop tlie steamers from plying up and down the river while negotiating with us .

      CHINA . The Overland Friend of China , of August 2-i , in its genera * summary , says : The news from China of most interest to ihe general reader is that , we apprehend , relating to the long-continued insurrection . At latest advices the aspect of affairs in the disturbed districts was

      rather favourable to the Imperialists * -the road between Canton and Kwei-lin-foo being reponed clear of robber-gangs—trade , in consequence , taking a favourable turn . But intelligence from the more remote provinces of Hunon , whereTien-teh and the great body of insurgents are said to be , is slow in arrival ; and we know little or nothing of what has been done there since the capture of the district city Kong-fa , mentioned in another part .

Thomas Bury and Sons , dyers , Adelphi , Salford and who had also-the ' care ' of the machinery iu work , met with a shocking accident . . He had been seat out , soon after dinner , by the foreman of the workfto , take some machinery for repair , but had , unfortunately ,-taken advantage , of-ithe opportunity to obtain some drink . When he returned , 'the foreman perceived thai ; lie was far advanced in liquor , and ' feeling that : it was dangerous for a man in

      that state to be near machinery , h e ordered him to go home . The man left the works , but-between 0 and 7 o ' clock he returned , and encountered the foreman , who , however , contented himself with a look ef disapprobation , ' and passed him without thinking it necessary again to order him to'leave * the premises . He was seen afterwadds to take a lamp and go into a corner of a passage between two walls , where it is ¦ ¦ presumed he stooped down to examine the machinery revolving a little below the floor . The machinery in this

      place is ponderous , and of a very complicated character , consisting of two large vertical cog-wheels giving motion to horizontal wheels and slides working- a pump , which- is used to fill the boilers Amongst this complicated mass of machinery Jackson ¦ must have fallen almost immediately , for a person working in an adjoining room , suddenly heard a crash , as if something had disturbed the motion of it , and running into the passage he saw the unfortunate man in the act of being torn to ' pieces amongst the wheels . lie lost

      no time in going to the engme-house and getting the machinery stopped . Every exertion was then made to drag the body from its position , kit this was a work of great difficulty , and when accomplished it was too shockingly mangled for description . Both legs and both arms were torn from the body , only the head of the unfortunate man being uninjured . Altogether , the body was in above 20 pieces . Life had of course passed away long before the body as teleased . An inquest was held yesterday on the remains of Jackson , by Mr . Rufcter , the county coronor , when the jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death . " Deceased was fifty years of age .

He was conveyed to ihe infirmary ai Low-hill , where-amputation of both legs was found necessary . The unfortunate gentleman now lies in a precarious state .

The burglary look place at the Star Inn , Mabgate , occupied by Mr . John Milner . Mr . J . P . Malms , of Chipping Norton , Oxon , undertook for a wager , a few days ago , to lay a gun ( a double barrelled one ) on tho ground , throw up two small apples in the air at once , then turn hand over heels pick up the gun , and hit | both [ apples , right and left , before they fell to the ground , once out of six times . He performed this extraordinary feat at the second attempt , and consequentl y won the

      wager . - . i .- Suicide in Paris . — -A ivell-dressed woman was observed on Monday evening , about eight o ' clock , pacing about in great agitation on the Quay Jemappcs , near the Canal St . Martin . All ' at once she rushed to the water as if to throw herself in , but stopped on seein <> - a little boy sealed close to her on a heap of stones . She uttered a crv of surprise , and , catching the child in her arms , covered him with kisses . " Why do you wish to kill yourself ? " asked the little bov naively : " I saw ( hat you were about to leap into the water . " The woman started , and said , " No , my little friend , you arc mistaken

      But tell me , does your mother make you say your prayers every evening ¦?» « Yes , Madame . " " Well , give her that for me , and tell her to pray for me ! " Slie then gave the child a ring , and hurried away . Shortly " after a- splash was heard in the water . A soldier and a workman , who happened to be near , immediately rushed in after her , but it was some time before they could reach her , and she was then quite dead . In her' pocket was found a piece of paper , on which was written in pencil , " 1 desire to remain unknown ; and , if the wish of a dying person should be respected , let no attempt be made to discover who 1 am . "—The body was sent to the Morgue .
