We this morning received our despatches with files of newspapers from India and China, in anticipa tion of the Overland Calcutta Mail. The dates are : Calcutta, Feb. 7 ; Madras, Feb. 12 ; Bombay, Feb. 13- The Bombay Times states that the successive exposures of the villany of the proceedings of those connected with the Calcutta Union Bank continue to engross public attention. The concern had been pronounced utterly bankrupt, and a contribution of 20/. was to be levied on e:ch share— the wealthier shareholders to be compelled to advance loans in proportion to their means. Further disclosures show that bank bills had frequently been granted to parties without any value whatever having been received in teturn. Some six weeks since, when one of the earlier meetings oc curred at which the circumstances of the bank were die cussed, it was stated that indigo to the value of 220,0001. was in their stores or on its way to them on the river ,• and, this, it was resolved, should be sent home, and sold on account of the bank. The astounding fact now appears that it had all been disposed of before— indigo warrants to within a trifle of the whole amount having been hawked about to raise the wind; and the goods were taken posserion of by the purchasen as they ;arrived. The balance still realisable on the indigo, reckoned at nearly a quarter of a million sterling, is just 12,0001. It now appears that there was wont to be in existence an association organised for the purpose of purchasing in Union Bank shares, so as to prevent their value from becoming depreciated in the market, and that 1,100 have in the course of a few Years been thus purchased in, Of course this was done by those who had access to the till of the bank, and bad themselves nothing to lose; the object was to keep up the share market, to maintain the credit of the bank, and induce the unsuspecting to purchase and become involved. How could an establish ment be insecure the shares of which were selling at par or premium, whose lowest dividend never fell below seven per cent./ Within six months of the declaration of its insolvency, and years after it had been is reality insolvent, men of subetance were deluded so as to purchase stock— and now are ruined. The Laudable Assurance Company it seems invested their funds for the convenience of individual borrowers, on the security of bank post bills and other docu ments now become worthless, and though the 50,0001, formerly spoken of as sacrificed in this way may not he altogether lest, a fraction of it only will be realised. Banking affairs on this side of India are looking up again. The Agra Bank has just published a statement of its affairs, and declared a dividend, which must be most gratifying to its shareholders. Much dismssion has been excited by the publication of Calcutta of a draft act for Bombay, which virtually excludes agents and counsel from the Small Cause Court in cases of sums sued for not exceeding 100!. The clients are themselves to appear in court, and manage their own business, the judge virtually becoming counsel and attorney. The author of the measure is Chief Justice Sir Erskine Perry. An attempt to introduce a kindred one was formerly condemned by the Supreme Court of Calcutta and the home authorities; it is said now to be in the way of being hurried through to take us by stir. prise. It has met with almost unanimous condemnation, and a strong memorial against it is in process of signature at Bombay. The Chief Justice bad gone round in person, to the capital, it is said for the sake of getting it accepted by the Legislative Council. The Punjaub scarcely affords a line of news. Sir John Littler and staff left the capital on the 21st of January for Julluudhur, from whence he would proceed for Calcutta on the arrival of Sir Frederick Carrie. An ~ m ute, attended with trifling loos of life, had occurred in the gaol amongst the prisoners. The escape of a number of the convicts is reported. Major 111.0regor had left Lahore for his new appointment at Bewares. Official notice has been given that no officers are to proceed to Cashmere without the especial sanction of the government of India. • . _ . Great preparations were making for the reception of Mr. Clerk in Scinde. Mr. Pringle and his staff were to proceed to Tette, to meetithe governor and accompany him to:Hydra bad. The commissioner is said to he about visiting all our posts up to Janeedera. The country was healthy and quiet, but in some parts fears had began to be entertained of a sanity of water. The lieutenant-governor of the north west provinces arrived at Delhi on the 11th instant. The Marquis of Tweddale has not yet quitted Madras, nor is it known for certain when he intends doing so. Sir H. Pot- finger is expected to arrive from the Cape by.the middle of Merck. The Right Hon. Earl Gifford was at Simlairehen I I last heard from, accompanied by Lor d W. M. Hay. The King of Ouoh is said to be in a state of considerable alarm cou,quent on the reforms in his government pro mised to Lord Ilardinge to he effected not having as yet been begun by him. The Atlas Insurance Office of Calcutta has been recommended to bo closed, and a call of 1001. per share has been made on the shareholders to meet the liabi lities of the concern. Messrs. Cockerell and Co. were the Indian secretaries, and Messrs. Cockerell, Larpent, and Co., the London agents of the company. The use of chloroform is now becOming general throughout India . in• l surgical operations, and is invariably attended with the happiest results, The convicts Fitzsimons and ,Living stone have lett Bombay for New South Wales. The ship Vernon, and frigate Cambrian, bearing the flags Rear-Admiral Inglefield and Commodor e , Plamsidge re spectively, have arrived at Bombay. The Bishop of Bom bay is at Deesa, where Major. General Barr was - expected about the 20:h, toinspect the brigade, .when he would„prio-. ceed to Mount Aboo for the hot season. Trade at all the presidencies is dull, and the scarcity of money much com plained of. Very little sickness is heard of, and the weather, which from the 2nd to the 9th was unpleasantly cold, is very amicable. CO/lIMERCIAL s INTELLIOENCE.

Bongsv.—Since the despatch of last mail the gate our market has remained much the same as fur the fortnight before it had done. No improvement has made its appearance in prime, either for import or export goods, owing to the great pressure on the money market ; and cash continues very scarce. Business, however, has been done during the fortnight to some extent, but at lower rates than during last month, for cotton goods and cotton wool; while for metals, full prices have been obtained as formerly, and remain 'dearly. Since the despatch of net mail, the prices of Oriental and Commercial Bank Shares have falen otf fl per cent.

Fastonv.—The rate of freight, as will be men below, are looking down.

By the arrival of the Ivanhoe at Liverpool yester day, we have news from America with dates from New York to March 5; Mexico, 13th ult.; Vera Cruz, Feb. 17 ; Tampico, Feb. 15 ; Monterry, March 2. . The intelligence contains nothing of importance. At a meeting of the whig members of the Senate it was determined to oppose the Mexican treaty, at least in its present shape. It is probable that com missioners, nevertheless, will be appointed to negotiate a treaty on a similar basis. However, the details of the treaty form a subject of some dissension in the Senate, and whether it be ratified at all, and what parts of it will be struck out, is a matter of great doubt. A democratic convention is announced to be held at Baltimore on May 2, in reference to the approaching election of President, and will, it is said, be in favour of General Taylor. Should he be nominated by this convention his election will in all probability be secured. News having reached the Mexican territories of the treaty of peace, the American troops were being gra dually withdrawn. The Britannia, which had been out 21 days, had not arrived. TROUBLES AMONG TUE COMMERCIAL CLASSES. — Strong impressions are beginning to prevail in Wall-street, that the next in months cannot pass away without producing core Wettable havoc among a large class of our merchants. The balance of trade, which by the treasury tables, appears to have been against us for the last two or three years, will not be so much the cause of this qualified revulsion as the vast diminution in the prices of all staple com modities, brought round by the recent terrible re vulsion in England and other parts of Europe. The dioinution of assets caused by the diminution in prices of all commodities is tremendous. This, of course, will make an inroad on the capitals of many of our leading merchants, and place them entirely upon the charity and liberality of the banks . Now, what can the basks furnish ? What is the prospect ? The pros pects are, that the government, whether we have peace. or war with Mexico, will require all the finding capital of the country, even if no more specie should go to Europe. Idooey will be scarce, capitalists will have everything in their own hands; but the active Deafness men, who depend on bank accommodations, will be left in . the lurch betweeea diminution in their assets and dimunition in bank discounts. Of course, such effects on the stalep productions will reach real estate and other speculative operations. The middling and lower classes, however, will enost likely escape all the coming troubles. if work should beware*, or wages low , provisions, clothing, and everythirg else will be as low. The countrtis prodi. giously rich in real production ; hut our rich men are actually poor, and many of the m who drive horses, and patronize the opera, and get up splendid fancy balls, will have to sing a. different tune before the next fourth of July.—New York. Herald. COMMERCIAL. The bill market is without any material change. Sterling bills range from 110 to 1101. French bills 6181. The prospect that the treaty will not be ratified has af- ' fected stocks. Treasury Notes arc down to'only 1 percent. 'premium. Dfcelly is getting tighter again.

The Minister of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, at Paris, has communicated to M. de Lamartine a des patch received from his government, authorising him to express the satisfaction of the Grand Duke at the pacific dispositions of the Provisional Government, and directing him to maintain friendly relations with it. The following important decree has just been pub lished by the governmeut 1. Provisionally the tribonala of COCIMITOO are em powered to grant to every person in trade a license for three months at the most, against any proceedings by his creditors; this license may be revoked on the demand of any inte rested party. The license shell only be granted on the fol lowing conditions:—The license shall name amongst the creditors one or more commissaries; thedebtor may be one, but not the only one. The commissaries may continue the trade of the debtor, but for all extraordinary arts they must apply for authority to the tribunal. During the license no cre ditor can be paid or preferred to the prejudice of others. The division of payments shall be made by the tribunal or one of its members, on a statement to be rendered every ten days by the commissaries. The dift rent dispositions of the law concerning the claim, the payment of hills not due as regards the trader (the other parties being hound only to pay when due) the validity of deeds, &c., payment and compensation privileges and mortgages are applicable when there shall be a judicial license. Ihe actions of the creditors against partners shall be brought by the commissaries im mediately before the tribunal of commerce. In every case the creditor may interfere for the security of his rights with out any other expense than the demand or the act in inter vention, the other remaining at the charge of the debtor. It is announced this morning that M. de Rothschild went yesterday to the Minister of Police, with the view of contradicting in the most effectual manner various reports which have been circulated as to the intentions of that house. So far from having the intention of quitting Paris, as had been announced, and suspending his payments, he intended to remain, to keep all his engagements relative to the loan, and take the most liberal measures to restore credit ; that his brothers from London and Frankfort, who accompanied him, had come to Paris with the same intentions, and to come to an under standing with him, that the monetary embarrass menta were not all to be attributed to the events of February, but that they, as related to many houses, had existed before that time. M. Caussidiere thanked him, and asked if he would have a guard placed at his house. "So far from that," he replied, " I re quest you not to place one, I only wish it to be known that having confidence in the government, confidence ought to be placed in me." One of the journals says the Duke and Duchess of Montpensier are at Brussels, where they preserve the most strict incoynito. The duchess is going to Ems to pay a visit to the Duchess of Orleans, before going to Spain. The stay of the duke and duchess at Brussels explains an official note inserted in all the newspapers, which denies that the departure of the duke from London had been caused by the discovery of a secret correspondence at the Tailleries. Letters from Genoa, of the 16th March, inform us that the constitution proclaimed is not acceptable either there or at Turin. They wish the dismissal of the ministry. It is said that the king is ill and dis contented. The provisional civic guard is on duty. The actual government inspires no confidence. De monstrations will be made. General Ruaglia has bemisuspended, for having written an article in favour of the amnesty. l'be people assembled under hie windows, crying " Long live Ruaglia. 1)own with Dorelli ; down with the ministry.' Things cannot remain as they are. From Turin we hear, on the 16th inst., that the programme of the new ministry was required to con tain: 1. Immediate and complete arming of the people, and formation of a corps of observation. 2, Oath by the army to observe the statutes. 3. Entire am nesty. 4. Civil and political emancipation of the Jews. 5. Omnipotence of parliament; that is, a power to make all changes required by circum stances. - - . -- . . . . Ina letter from Genoa, of the 15th, it is stated that Austria concentrea every day new troops on the fron tiers. A great number of contingents had arrived, with the cordon bleu on their breasts, and singing " Coll' azzu.-a coccarda so! petto" whilst they paraded the city. A letter, dated Naples, 9th March, says! A steamer has arrived from Messina. Pronio has sent to say that he had sustained a fire for twelve hours, and could maintain the citadel no longer. The fort of St. Salvadore had been stormed by Messinese, who took 180 soldiers prisoners. A confirmation of this news will be found in our Malta letter. Our Madrid correspondent writes on 15th inst., that the bill of Narvaez for conceding extended powers to the government, with the faculty of raising two millions sterling, having received the royal assent, is published in to-day's Gazette as a law of tke realm ; so that the ministers may, if they choose, shut the Cortes to-morrow, suspend individual gua rantees, and clap the whole branch of liberal deputies, editors and agitators in prison. The - funds were as follows :—Three per Cents., 231; Fiveiper Cents., I,cl I.paper ; Passives, 5 paper ; Cou pons, 10 paper; Bank of St. Ferdinand, 110 cash, 112 paper. Exchange on London, 46 50-100. By the Levant mails we have remixed the Athens journals and correspondence of the 9th inst.' Much activity was manifested in the war department. The kingdom had been divided under three military corn mends, the first including Bmotia and Eubea, under General Gardikiatti ; the second comprising Oriental Greece, under the command of General Mamouri ; and the third, Western Greece, under Sotiri Stratos. The battalion of light troops, under Grivas, goes to Arcania—nother body to Thebes—for Phtiotide a detachment of. cavalry. The motives of these move ments are not known. Some•who pretend to. be in the secrets of the government `say that some of the chiefs had magnified the danger of the popular discontent for their own views. Whatever be the cause, these changes cost money, and the treasury is -not sufficiently flourishing to admit unnecessary expense. Col. °redbird is named Chief of the Gendarateri in substitution of. Col. Delyorghi, whose disgrace is attributed to having arrested • the famous mirerque •Tzinos. CoL Pisa is appointed Director of Stores, -and CoL Thouret Major of Athens. Advices from Persia to the Ist February, announce that all the military operations in the Khorasan have been interrupted by the winter, the Shab's troops have retired to the towns, leaving the country to the insarents ; it is little tenable now owing to the quantity of snow which has fallen. It has been officially announced to the Divan that the Shah will, in the spring, direct the military operations in person. It appears to be decided that the Prince Bohaina Mirza will not a gai n return to Tauris. The heir presumptive to the throne left on tho4Sth of January, to take possession of the go vernnient of Aderbaidjan. The winter is ex tremely severe; since the commencement of the year the snow has never ceased falling. The roads are impassable ; caravans and couriers no longer arrive, and we are in a manner blocked up in the city, without being able to get out. Letters from Athens to the 10th inst. state that the ministry has at last brought forward the budgets for 1847 and 1848. The total receipts tar 1847. amount to 12,626,454 drachmae; the expellees fee the some year are 17,421,602 drachmas, leaving a deficiency in the year of 4,793,16 R drachmas. LATEST FROM PARIS. DISTURBANCES AT MUNICH PARIS, TUESDAY, 5 P.M. All continues tranquil to-day. A cabinet council has been setting at the Hotel of Foreign Affairs, the subject of which is Raid to be the question of the postponement of the elections. Some postponement will certainly be made, but whether to the 17th of April or the 31st of May, is not yet settled. The funds continue tolerably steady. The bank is not yet opened for the issue of the new notes. A letter from Rome gives a version of the names of the new cabinet different from that which we have already given. Card.' Antonelli, President of the Council and Minister for Foreign Affairs • Gaetano Recchi, Interior ; Adv. Sturbinetti, Grace and Justice ; Monsig. Morichini, Finance; Marco Minghetti, Works ; Prince Aldobrandini, War ; Adv. Galetti, Police ; Card. Mezzolanti, Public Instruction ; Count Pasolini, Commerce.

On 16th March a large body of persons assembled before the palace at Munich, where they thought Lola Montes was to be found. The windows were broken, and barricades were formed. Several persons were wounded in endeavouring to get into the palace, which was guarded by soldiers. They then went to the Faratenreed, to look after Lola Montes, who, profiting by the twilight, had taken refuge there. Thinking she was concealed in a house of the Wurgerstmabe, where she had before been found under a sofa, they went to starch it, but could not find her. _ . At night the generale was beaten; some of the doors of the palace were forced open ; the chambers were entered, and the desks and account-books of some of the offices thrown out of the windows. The rioters set at liberty the prisoners, and it was sup posed they had a collision with the gendarmes, as some firings as heard. The troops arrived about eight o'clock, and restored order. At half-past nine the magistrates announced that the Countess de Lansfeld had arrived at Carl shrue, and had left that place for Frankfort, but these contradictory statements were not credited by the people. At half-past ten the disturbances had again com menced. Accounts from Vienna, of the 15th inst., state there were about 20 killed and from 200 to 300 wounded. More than 40,000 of the citizens are formed into patrols. The imperial palace is occupied by troops of the line; the other posts in the city are held by the townspeople. Bands of thieves and dismissed work• men are pillaging everywhere. Much apprehension is entertained for property. BELGIUM. SUSPENSION OF CASH PAYMENTS. BRUSSELS, MARCH 20. This afternoon the government presented a bill, empowering the great banks of Belgium, the " Banque de Belgique" and the " Societe Generale," to suspend cash payment for bills above twenty-five francs. The bill gives legal currency to notes of the former bank to the amount of ten millions of francs, and of the latter (the most important in this country) to the amount of twenty millions, in all thirty millions of franca. From Frankfort we have letters which inform us that, on the 16th inst., the Count Colloredo Waldra, who was the substitute of the Count Munich de Balling hansen as president of the Germanic Diet, had arrived there. .—,.... The Hessian Ambassador, M. de Reis, will be re placed by the Professor Jordan de Marbourg. The operatives who had taken part in the move ment of Hanau had returned to their shops. It was supposed that no more mischief would be done by the peasants of Hesse Darmstadt From Keenigsberg we have accounts of the 14th inst., by which we learn that the tranquillity of that city had been disturbed. The president of the police was about to arrest MM. Riepp, Jacobi, and Hinter, for having composed the address to the king. The measure was not taken, but the people were very die. satisfied. The prohibition to pla" Massniello, ' and sing the " Marseillaise," increase d the irritation. At a meeting of the Reasource, M. Koech declared he had beeu interrogated by the police as to what had occurred at the former meeting, and read a letter prohibiting political discussion. One hundred students immediately went into the streets before the place of meeting, and cried " Live the Reasouroe." They then went to the police, and broke the windows with paving stones. They obliged a piquet of the military to retire; a squadron of cuirassiers then came up, and dispersed them with their swords. The generak was beaten. The soldiers wounded some persons not engaged in the tumult. ARRIVAL OF THE PRINCE DE JOINVILLE AND THE DUKE D'AUMALE AND THEIR FAMILIES. The Lords of the Admiralty received intelligence this moraine, from Dartmouth, of the safe arrival of the Prince and Princess Joinville and the Duke and Duchess D'Aumale and their families, at that port, yesterday morning, by the French government steamer Solon, having quitted the Tagus on the 13th inst. The princes immediately pro ceeded to the Totness station of the South Devon Railway, andtook theindeparture (or London by the morning express train. They are at present located with the ex-king and queen, at Claremont. POST OFFICE REGULATIONS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE ' , EXPRESS." General Post-office, March 22.

COMMERCIAL 4- MA RKETS. MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE. Two o'Clock.—The intelligence which appeared in the Daily News exclusively, in a second edition, and reached the City about an hour ago, that the two great banking corporations of Belgium, the Societe Generale and the Banque de Belgique, were to be authorized by the government and the legislature to suspend payments in specie for all notes or bills above 2.3 francs, has naturally made an uneasy impression in moneyed and commercial circles. It is not exactly understood where the mischief of bank suspensions and the compulsory currency of inconvertible paper money on the Continent is to end. It seems but too probable that the state banks of Austria, l'russia, and other German powers of the secondary order, will be compelled to follow the movement. The Sociae" General is, it appears, to be allowed to issue notes which shall have legal course to the amount of twenty millions of francs (800,0001.), the Banque de Belgique for one-halt that sum. Doubtless 1,200,0001. of paper money is not a large sum for two such banks, or for a respectable and rich industrial community like Belgium. Moreover, the operative classes are not likely to be greatly damaged in their interests eo long as twenty-five franc notes (one-pound notes) remain still exigible in specie. The danger which threatens is, that much more extended paper issues will be required hereafter, and thus their value be proportionately depreciated as specie becomes hoarded, which it is to be feared must too surely be the case. As the Belgian mail has not yet arrived, nor the French mail either, supposed to have been delayed in crossing by the bail weather, we are yet necessarily without :the papers and correspondence which would throw light on the special motives and objects of this fivancial innova tion in Belgium. Our funds are still on the advance this morning, notwithstanding the sinister event referred to. Con sols have been done at 81; ; they are now 81a to 4 for money and time. Exchequer Bills, 235. to 275. premium. In foreign stocks we have no novelty. The private advices from the United States, by the Ivanhoe, do not encourage the opinion that the treaty with Mexico will be ratified. The payment of 15 mil lions of dollars to Mexico, as one of the conditions, will, it is believed, be the stumbling-block. Mexican are 141 to 1. Brazilian, 67 to 72.

Wheat and Barley, fine and good, sold readily at 6d. to Is. advance in late prices. No alteration is Beans, Peas, or Oats. HULL, March 21.-With the exception of one, or at the most two days, Use weather during the past week has been very unsettled, and so much rain has now fallen that the land is in a very unfit state for receiving seed ; spring sow ing is thus unpleasantly retarded. With fair arrivals, the demand for all descriptions of grain during the past week has been most inactive, and the advance on Wheat noted in recent circulars wholly lost. We had for this day's market a good supply of Wheat from our own far mers, the condition of which was affected by the late weather. There was more disposition to sell than of late; and this not being responded to by millers, the only buyers, we write the market heavy at last week's prices. Of new foreign we have more showing, and the quality not so good as previous shipments; the bulk is Danish, or Lower Elbe, and, the condition being sottewh it affected, not goad to sell. In chambered Wheats little or nothing passing. The Barley noted in our list of arrivals is on sale at 28s. per qr. 5211 b. The bulk of the Oats have bees sold at our quotations, the quality chiefly Friesland, and sold for seed. Beans and Peas are difficult to sell, and a gnat many pressing on the market. New Friesland, middle-sized, sold at 345. per qr. 631bs. We write both articles 2s. lower. The weather prevents any activity in Tares and all kind of Seeds : of the former we have again arrivals into many hands, which de presses the trade. Linseed must be written a good ls. dearer, and, the demand for Cake is much improved. Rapeseed is offering at our quotations, but the trade is slack. Rape Cakes, beet quality, 1205.'

Irawrca, March 21.-The supply of Wheat is about the same as last week ; red sells at from 488. to 565. per qr. Millers unwillingly give higher prices, and no great amount of business is transacted. The supply of Barley is barely equal to the demand, and prices are le. to 2e. higher for the finer sorts. But few Beans and Peas appear ; prices nomi nally the same.

LIVERPOOL, March 21.-In most of the English and Irish markets, during the past week, the demand appears to have been restricted, for home-grown produce, to little more than the regular wants of consumers ; and the corn trade, in the present critical state of general business, is exempt from any important fluctuations. A few more limited arrivals of Wheat, Oats, and Oatmeal, with a moderate supply or Flour, include the bulk of the receipts coast wise and from Ireland since Friday; and from abroad we have scarcely anything fresh in beyond 4,910 qrs. of Indian Corn. Notwithstanding the slight im provement in London yesterday, the general features of the trade at our market this morning were rather languid. In Wheat of any description the transactions were very limited in amount; and whilst all kinds of new declined Id. to 2d. per 701 b., prime samples of old continued to be held at the currency of Tuesday last, the low qualities of foreign barely sustaining late prices. Flour commanding little attention, American was 61. per barrel, and Irish 6d. per sack cheaper. Barley was in moderate request, and Malt rather more sale able on the terms let noted.-Bean., upon an improved de mand, fully supported last week's rates. Peas remained unvaried. Oats, meeting less inquiry, declined Id. per 451bs. Oatmeal fully maintained our last quotations. Indian Cern and Corn Meal, for which very few buyers ap peared this morning, continued to move slowly, at the re duced rates of Friday.

PLYNOI:TIf, March 20.-The Wheat trade continues to improve ; holders at this morning's market generally asked an advance of Is. to 2s. per qr., which deterred; some millers from purchasing ; farmers' supplies are much lessened.

HOP INTELLIGENCE.—The present wet weather so muck impedes the general digging, manuring, and cutting, that i t is considered very detrimental to the future prospect, and, should the wet season continue a week or two longer, it may be a very serious injury, particularly in the Weald of Ke at and clay soils generally.—Kentish 06server.
