printed matter are almost universally acknowledged to be far from coming up to the desires or necessities of the times. They arc in very many COWS a prohi bition. The inhabitants of America are universal waders; —they do not merely read for pastime, but Ike profitable instruction, and it is this insatiable thirst atter knowledge that has given our mechanics, traders, statesmen, philosophers, and artists such a pre-eminent position among the nations of the earth. Every person in this hind is des:roas of being at all times conversant with the principal topics of interest in every section, and the only way in which this ultimatum can be a rr ived at is through the medium of the press. This indisputable fact clearly shows that it is essential, for the general benefit of society, that the rates of newspaper postage should be either materially re duced or abolished altogether. A meeting of the friends of cheap postage was held at the Merchants Exchange on the I:th ult. Reso lution, were adopted, and an address delivered by Barnabas Dates. &41. A committee was appointed to memorialise Congress and urge the passage of a law making the postage on newspapers to any part of the United States one cent., and pamphlets and periodicals half a cent per ounce. Jenny Lind had commenced a season on her own account, and was everywhere eminently successful. Miss Catherine Hayes a as also about to commence a fresh series of concerts in New York. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW Yu UK, Nov. 19. In sound storks since our last there has not been any important fluctuation, and, the denkind has Leon moderate. The fancies, however, have had generally an upward ten dehry, Erie and Reading being the most active, and having advance , l the most. . . _ In freights there is but a moderate business, and the rates are unchanged. Tu Liverpool flour is 12.1.; grain 4d. to 41.1. ; cotton is ed.; cheese 20.. ; naval stores 9d. to 1241. &e. with engagements at 2,00., or 3,000 blAs. flour, 13,00 ' 0 bets. wheat; 500 bbl.. resin; 200 bales cotton; 1,000 bay. cheese, &e.

The market for sterung continue' firm at 1101 to 1101 for the t stn me' of lint-class bills. A sale of 100,0001. was made by one leading drawer to another at about 1101, drawn aaaitust gold to be shipped by the steamer to morrow. A. the drawer u...ver insures and pays no commis sions, be ran place gold in London cheaper than other bankers.

The rivers at the south have experienced a rise, wllich will bring cotton into the shipping ports, and emote a .tipi.l3 of bills which • ill to some extent meet the demand no ecinittanre. At the present low rates fur cot ton and breadstuff., however, there appears to be hope yet of • ee•sation of gold eaports. a . _ e There is a more acne e demand for money and some of the banks have called in loans to some extent. We have no change to note in rates no call, which remain on geed sleeks a' 6to T per cent., but with the disposition to con• tract buns in some quarters, we shall but be surprised to see money dearer durin2 this week or next. There is, however, one circumstance favourable to a continuance of annoy market, that the heavy payments of the mercan tile CoOlvaUllity are nearly over, and they want but moderate aeconeneelaC from the bane.. Fiestalass paper is still in good demand, and nut plenty. The extreme rates are 7 to 12 per cent., the bulk of the sales being at 8 to 10 pet et nt. second-class names 12 to 18 per cent. The advice, from California in regard to the crop of gold are of the most flattering deecriptitio. The surface waslitia.s are yielding in all lovalitite a large reward to the labours of the miners, while new discoveries of placers arc being daily made. In the quartz districts new veins arc being explored, an.l numerous companies formed for the purpose of working them. The companies in operation, whose affairs are conducted with skill, and who have proper nsaehinciy, are doing well. Indeed the prospect of the ' quantity of gold in Califumiaapprars now to go far beyond the wildest anticipations termed during the excitement of the lira discovery. It 'mon at present that the quartz wins will continue to yield largely of gold a hundred years alter the surface washings are exhausted.

BELFAST AND BALLYMENA RAILWAY.—The thir teenth half-yearly meeting of the shareholders of the Bel fast and Ballymena Railway washeld on Saturday at the terminus, at the foot of York-street, Bellast—the lion. Oeurge Nautical in the chair. The half yearly report of the directors was read, from which it appeared that their entire receipts from tragic for the lest half year' amounted to 18,1381. It. 7d., and the total expenditure to ' 10,8601. le. Id., leaving an available balance of 7,2691. Os.

INDIA. THE OVERLAND MAIL. We have received by express our usual dc , patches in anticipation of the Overund Mail from India. 'the dates are Bombay, Nov. ; Calcutta, Oct. 22 ; Madras, 23. Our correspondent writes as follows : BOMBAY, Nov. 3. . _ . Close on the despatch of last mail, on thelt of October, I sent you a few lines, to inform you of a serious riot on the part of the Mahomedatt popula tion, which had, that afternoon, or rather noon, occurred in the native town, in which several parties, chiefly policemen, had been severely beaten and wounded with swords and sticks. By the intrepid conduct of Captain Baynes, superintendent of police, and his small force, the rioters were speedily dis persed, upwards of 90 of them being take,* into cute tody, and who now await their trial before the Supreme Court. Early that morning it was spiced I abroad that a 4isturbance was to take place, and some thousandiof Mussultnen congregated at the Grand Mosque, ostensibly for prayer, but in reality with the view to share in the riot agreed upon pre viously. The came, or high priest, having heard of the intended row, harangued the mutitude in the mosque, pointing out to them the danger and absurd ity of what they meditated, but he was silenced by a fanatic, who stood up and told the people that, as true followers of the Prophet, they should not for give the insult offered to his and their faith by the hpublication in a Parsee newspaper of a portrait and istory of the life of Mahomed, the former of which, owing to bad printing, appeared to them to be in tended as a caricature, though in reality the drawing was a tolerably fair enc. What tended most to in flame the Mahomedans was that one of these por traits, one eye of which was daubed or obli terated in the printing, was stuck up on the wall war the main entrance of the mosque, with some jeering and ribald lines written underneath, refer ring to the maimed appearance of the prophet, who, in the b.ographical sketch, was represented DA a man of beautiful and noble appearance. So soon as the Arab had ended his address in the mosque. by willing on the assemblage to join him in a bottle for the faith, they all rushed out and commenced an attack on the small party of police close by, and each people as came in their way. They proceeded to the neighbouring Parsec streets and maimenced destroying the houses and everything they could lay hands on, many of the inmates being severely and beaten. Parsee liquor-shops were broken into, and the liquor throwu into the getters. About 7,000/. worth of property is said to have been destroyed. An aged Parsee merchant and hie son, a boy of eight years of age, were dragged from a carriage and severely beaten, the child's eye being knocked out by a blow from a bludgeon. Eight or ten police, four or five Pursers, and a Euro. pout constable, named Sturty, were put hors dr enIII. erg • most of them have recovered, the remainder are in hospital. So soon as Capt. Baynes, and the senior magistrate, Mr. Spots, heard of the row, they hastened to the spot. The former got a couple or strokes on the legs, and the rioters tried to unhorse him ; but he galloped through them fearlessly, hie sepoys at his heels; and in half an hour the streets were as quiet as if they had never been inhabited. Great excitement and alarm prevailed and still con tinued amongst the Parsecs, as reports have been duily published by one English and several Parsee papers to the effect that to-morrow, the laud day of the Mohurrum, a general massacre of every Parsee found abroad is to take place. The most atrocious deeds are said to have been committed by the Mahomodans—women have been violated, and heaven knows what beside—the whole story being alleged to be false by the police authorities, before whom no such char , es have been made by the Parsecs against the Neuslems. In truth, the articles published in the Tefeyraph have always appeared to me most injudicious—eulculated to stir up deadly strife, rather than allay agitation, and the ill-feeling undoubtedly prevalent. Since the a company of Sepoys, under a cap tain and two subalterns, has been daily posted in the market near the gnat mos9ue Jams Musjid. This evening this guard is to he inc reased, and 100 men and two officers of the 7th HiFhlunders are to be posted in the native town, as to-night the 'reboots are to be taken in procession through the principal streets. To-morrow all the troops m garrison are to be at their barracks ready to turn out should any dis turbance take place. The 'reboots will be brought out about one or two o'clock, noon, to be thrown into the sea at Back-bay, and all will be over by six, when it is hoped and believed things will return to their usual state of tranquillity. Shouldthe rabble Mahouts:dam get any pretext there will doubtless be a row, but it will quickly be put down. Ten Europeans and 200 natives have been engaged as special constables, and it is expected they will be permanently retained, as the present police force is evidently too small for the duties required of them— only test foot and about 40 horsemen for the whole island, to p:eserve the lives and property of upwards of half a million inhabitants. There is to be an expedition after all from Peohawur into the hills against the tribe of Nlomunds of Mitch am, who base been amongst the foremost of our tormentors. Sir Colin Campbell is to command in person, his force to consist of 2,500 men, el:idly Europeans. There cannot be a doubt as to the result of this dour ; if we catch them or can come at them thei will pay fur their misdeeds—and no doubt Sir Cohn hopes he may catch them. In my lust I told you that Captain Coke's force had kept Kohat in pro pels to the newly acquired Valley of the Dour. l'he last accounts from him :are from a place called Koorum, in the Meeransaie Valley. He states that he was succeeding wonderfully in the settlement of the lands: the crops were splendid; and the people able strapping fellows, extremely civil and obliging, and evidently delighted with having obtained the protection they had desired. The force consisted of the Ist Punjaub Infantry and let Cavalry, two 9-pounders, and one 24pounder howitzer, with a company of Sappers. They did not expect to cross the Koorum river, but if they did they would cross the Wurcerec hills into Bunnoo, and back to Kohat bj the salt custom-houses of Nurse or Bahadur Khail. Sickness, unhappily, was setting in at Peshawar; but, once the troops got on the march, they would speedily F a all right again. Mr. R. Montgomery has become junior member of the Lahore board of administration; Mr. G. C. Barnes, commissioner of the Lahore divi sion ; Major E. Lake succeeds Mr. Barnes at Kangra, and will not now, it is thought, proceed home as he had originally intended. These changes have occurred consequent on Mr. Nlansers appoint ment to the post of Resident • of Nagpore, as the north-west papers say,—but it is re ported ho is to be Commissioner of the Saugor and Nurbudda territories, which are to be annexed to the government of the north-west. Mr. Bushby, who now holds this latter appointment. being a senior to the Hon. Mr. Thomason, the lieutenant governor, having been removed to the Nagpore resi dentship. This is extremely likely to prove true, but as yet no official announcement has been pub lished.—Sir William and Lady Gomm have bestowed 3001. on the Punjaub mission.—The Calcutta papers state that the frigate Fox and the sloop Serpent, now at Calcutta, are about to be sent to Rangoon to demand satisfaction for the insults recently offered to British subjects by the authorities of that town. A small detatehment of troops is to accompany them, and act against the Burmese should they refuse to make reparation for the losses sustained by several captains of British vessels in the port of Rangoon. Sir W. S. Which, K.C.8., who commanded at Mool- I tan, is obliged by iU health to retire from India im mediately.—Lord Dalhousie held a grand Durber, at Simla. on the 24th October, at which all the Rajahs and Rams, and chiefs from the surrounding country presented themselves, and were received with all ceremony ; they each presented their gift, and were in return presented with shawls, &c. It was uncertain when he would quit the hills, prooably about the beginning of the present month. The Com mander-in-Chief was to leave on the 7th, in progress to Lahore and Peshawar. Sir H. Lawrence, the Hon. y'ir T. Metcalfe, the Hon. Mr. Thomason, and hosts of other big wigs were at Simla; but a break up would shortly be made amongst them. Mr. E. A. Blundell, assistant resident, has been directed to act as Resident and Governor of the Straits' Settlements during Colonel Butterworth's absence for two yews on sick leave to Australia. It is not expected the gallant Colonel will ever return to his duties. The ex-Governor-General of Netherlands India is now at Calcutta ; he intends proceeding through the north-west to Bombay, rut Scinde and Kurruchse; from this he proceeds home overland. His adventat I Calcutta gave rise to numberless articles on the nig gardliness of the Supreme Government, in not keep ing part of Government House always in urder Lr the reception of " illustrious itichinosd , Shakespear has been restored to his former berth at Gwalior; Major Malcolm, who had been removed from Joudpore to succeed him, has been appointed 1 "Political Agent at Ovvidior," a berth appareney created to avoid the necessity of sending him back to his old appointment.—lt is reported the Sir G. it. Clerk returns to Bombay as Go ernor, of Lord Falkland's retirement. We hope this mar turn out true, as Sir George was, or rather would have been, an excellent ruler, had he not bees thwarted in all his measures by the members of his council—Messrs. Willoughby and Reid. who were represented by him as constantly and systematically opposing his views.—A number of copies of minutes by Lord Falkland and his council on Baroda affairs have been seized on their way to interested parties in that city : they had been surreptitiously obtained from the secretariat, from which office, it is be lieved, copies of any document may be obtained for payment by any one desiring them. A searching inquiry is now going on to find out the copyists. The Achilles left on Saturday with a South ampton mail. A monthly steam communication betwixt Mooltan and Kurrachee, eight hundred miles, has been commenced with the new iron boats. First-class passengers pay 25L; second class, 13/.; third-class, 10 !., exclusiv e of table charge. Goods are to conveyed at very moderate rates indeed, and private are to take precedence of public stores. What: , more: could government do to limiter trade betwixt Bombay and the Punjaub? A fllurishing trade will no doubt rapidly spring up, and Kurrachee will be the highway of commerce and passengers from and for the north-west. From Herar we learn that a fight took place on the ith October betwixt two native chiefs and their followers, in which about fifty were killed and as many wounded. A fort was taken, and tome of the defenders killed. Matters at the Nizam's capital appear to be in data quo. The electric telegraph betwixt Diamond liar bour and Calcutta appears to be in full operation, an account of a hurricane which occurred during the night of the 21st ult. having been telegraphed to the papers at Calcutta. No accidents had been heard of, though it was feared disasters to the shipping making fur the mouth of the lloogliley must have happened. —There is literally nothing to report from Scinde, C!Cel pt that scarcely an European at Sukkur was out of the sick list. 1)r. D. Davies, of the 22nd N. 1., had died there in October, utter a long illtiess from fever. At kurrachee they had nothing to complain of in the way of sickness, and nothing to report in the shape of news. P.S.—Strong guards (a company) from all the native corps in garrison, arc to mount this afternoon in the native town—a company of the 78th High landers taking post near the great mosque in the market-plat*. All the remainder of the gamison to be ir, readiness to turn out, should they be required. Great excitement and fear prevail am o ngst the Parsee community, who are flocking into the tort for pro tection. It is nut likely anything serious will take place to-night, though to-morrow may see a row of some sort or other. The Calcutta papers of the 25th announce the wreck of the river steamer Powerful, at Silver-tree Point, on the 23rd, during the gale ; the captain's wife (Mrs. Smith) and her two children, drowned. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Precursor went ashore at Cowcolly, on her way down the river on the 24th—particulars not received. The Dutch ex-governor-general was feasted on the 23rd by thedeputy-governorof Bengal. Mynheer is now said to intend leaving for Europe by the Calcutta steamer of the Bth instant. The ship Mary Ann was ashore on the Diamond Sand. The ship * Lahore had also been ashore, but had been hauled off by the steam tug Rattler. Several native sloops or buggalahs had foundered or been driven ashore and wrecked near Diamond Harbour; and great tears were enter tained for several English vessels long overdue, and which are supposed to have been close at hand during the hurricans. The Precursor floated on the morn ing of the 24th, with loss of rudder, and was safely taken into the mouth of the Auckland Channel by Captain Gribble and Master Pilot Beaumont, to whose skill and during conduct tho preservation of the vessel and the lives of the large party of passengers on board for Aden and Suez is minulp attributable. The light vessel Hope was driven ashore at Saugor and bilged. Three other vessels, names not given, ashore.—Sir James Colville, puisne judge of the Calcutta Supreme court, on leave in the north-west, has been requested by the governor-general to assist Sir it. Barlow at Agra in the 'Wee Persaud case investigation ; he has consented, provided the chief Justice has no objection. At Madras the banks had recently in effect been closed, they having no money to accommodate the mercantile community on any terms, having locked up all their capital in purchasing Company's paper. The Spectator of the 27th, to-day received, says that the Chartered Bank had, or was about to recom mence business as usual, having probably received a supply of coin from government. At Calcutta five or six European houses are believed to be on the point of closing. The Lahore Chronirk of the 25th tilt., StlSB a re port previled at Peahawur on the 21st of tke death of Dort Mahomed, the ltuler of Cabool. The old Ameer has been so often put out of the world, that it will be hard to believe in his death even when he has " shuffled off this mortal coil." The first troop H. A., under orders for Pushawur, was to cross the Chenaub river at Wuzeerabad on 23rd in progress to its destination. Ihe station was very healthy, and the weather cool and pleasant.— Major Burn, deputy-secretary to the Lahore board of administration, has been appointed town major of Fort William, Colonel Vi arren being ap pointed to the rank of brigadier. Major N. Cham berlain is to succeed Major Burn at Lahore. Major Macpherson, brigade major at Lahore, has been obliged to leave on sick certificate. Major E. Lake goes on sick leave to the Cape only, not to England. A large magazine for the supply of stores and muni tions of war to the Punjaub is to be formed at Kur rachee. Twelve civil officers are absent just now from the Punjaub on sick leave, and eleven on pri vate affairs. The Chronicle gives the following list of changes in the civil administration of the Pun jaub :—Lient. W. I). Arnold, assistant at Batala, moves to I:mritsir ; Mr. L.

A great part of the declared quantity it was expected would he forced off, and if July rates were obtained, it was a. much 1 as could be expected. Sugar was dull, and value, although it had not fluctuated much, was something lower. In Saltpetre there was not much done; the article was however firm in price at former quotations. The value of rice had further declined about 6d. per cwt., and little inquiry existed for it. The downward tendency of raw silk continued, and it was calculated that a loss of Is. to 2s. per If,. would be suatained on shipments from this country. Silk Corahs had improved in consequence of declining stocks ; the advance in value may be quoted at about d. per piece. Notwi th standing the heavy stock of jute, a large badness had been done in it at a slight advance on former rates. The market was extremely dull, both for / shell lac and lac dye, and hardly any business had been doing. In hides we are unable to report intorovement ; value was firm, and tended upwards. In other goods we have no change to notice; generally speaking, the market was as dull as could be, nor was there a prospect of improvement for some time to come. --- INDloo.—Advice. from the producing districts have for some time been reporting a progressive improvement in the prospects of the season. The latter part of the Sl:asun— since July—has been very auspicious, and manufacturing operations have been conducted under peculiarly favourable circumstances which has in a great measure made up for the disadvantages of the early part of the season. The concerns in the higher districts do not appear to have participated in these advantages, but as they contribute but smelly to the total nutsturn of the season, that circumstance will not make much difference. From all we have learnt from the interior, and all that our contemporaries appear to have heard, we arc led to the conclusion that 1,14,009 mds. will be attained, and may possibly be exceedt d by . a little—way 5,000 rads. Orium.—Value remains at nominal quotations, and little or no business has been doing in the drug. IMPOILTS PROM Et'llOrt. LIKITItiII COTTOX PIECE Goons.—The particularly unfavourable features which characterised this important branch of our business when the markets closed on the 29th ult. have given place to nothing more encouraging; indeed, since the re sumption of busine.s, we may describe the un favourable and discouraging features as more rig graved. Demand there is hardly any making, and so much enlarged have stocks become of almost every article by the arrivals of the past fortnight, that tt is hardly possible to say what effect that circumstance still have upon prices. The market cannot be said to have fairly re-opened, nor do we expect it will for sonic few days yet to come; The usual effect of the holidays, together with the disturbed state of the money market will cause things to remain exceedingly quiet and depressed for a time yet. In the absence of any business, except on the must moderate scale, we can hardly give particu lars in regard to each respective fabric; we may, however, observe that we see no symptoms of anything like an active demand which is alone required to keep prices steady and work off the excessively lieuty stoclks now in hand. Woind.xs.—Prices are again lower of these, owing to the over-abundance of supplies of all descriptions in the market. We may quote value at 2 annas lower. . . PRINTED AND COLOURED Goo n s: Manchester prints and chintzes have declined to the extent of nearly four somas per piece since business closed. The only article which remains steady under this head are Turkey lied Chintzes ; every other description of goods has declined, owing principally to heavy supplies and little or no demand existing.

One-third of the vessel belonged to George Palmer, the elder ; one-third to George Palmer, the younger, who had mortgaged it to Saunders, May, and Co., of Calcutta; and the remaining third to Saunders, May, and Co.

Henderson, the holders of bills drawn by Saunders and Co. against the freight, were also elaimante, and had obtained an attachment in the Lord Mayor's Court and they contended that the plaintiff ought not merely to account for the two-thirds, but for the whole of the freight. His Honour said the court had no poetic to compel the plaintiff to render an account, there being no bill tiled against hint. Ile would make the inter pleader decree so far as the plaintiff was concerned. liv this decree plaintiff would discharge himself of the 'aim of 1,814/., and with respect to that sum the court would not permit any action by the defendants to this record, but be yond that the court would give plaintiff no protection.

I saw the mare trot ; he timed her. thought she was an extraordinary mare. That was about the litu or so of December, I should fancy ; I can't swear to the day. I can't form any notion of the puce she was going, but he told me she went a great number of miles, and he was very well satisfied with the trial. She appeared to me to be going very fast ; and she seemed to me, as fax as I could judge, to be all right, to the best of my belief. I heard of her being taken to Tea keabuiy. She remained in training, I believe, till the end of December. I knew the match was to come of at Salisbury; and the way Duro from Cheltenham is by way of Swindon. I received a letter about the end of December from my brother Holder to stop the mare. 1 went to the Gloucester station ; and I found the mare in a horse box, and the grown Beek was with her. The box was on the line, but 1 can't swear that it was hooked on. 1 desired the groom to take her back to the stables. C. by Mr. James.—l knew that the mare came from America. My brother bad not had her long when I saw her ut Scarborough. I believe he brought her from America ; he told me her 11:11111: was " Fanny Jenks." I did not know that she was a celebrated mare. I can't tell who christened her " Pigeon." I don't recollect that Captain Head was in the room when the bet was made. Captain Crawford, Mr. Dart-ey, Mr. Kennedy. and Captain Phillips were there. Captain Hunt might have been there —I can't say. I did not hear my brother say that she was an English mare. I knew she was an American mare when I rode her on the sands at Scarborough. I swear I never heard my brother say she was an English mare, and bought of an English dealer. He may have said so, but 1 did not hoar It. I did not hear him say that she was an American mare. Either Dareey or Kennedy wrote the bet. I believe Kennedy wrote it. I don't think I have said that Laney wrote it. I don't know whether Darcy backed the mare or betted against her. I did not bet. I re ceived the sum of 1,6.501. ; it was placed to my 'credit at the Cheltenham bank. My brother desired me to. place part of it to Mr. Darcey's account—a thousand pounds, I think it was—he gave me 5001. as a loan—he gave it to me, uhe had been accustomed to do. 1 did not know it was Mr. Kennedy's money. I bad nothing whatever to do with that money. Betide and utter that my brother always gave me money. By the Court—l don't know where he got taii money from ; but se it was at that particular time, I suppose it mast have been some of Mr. Kennedy's money. ' By Mr. James—l knew the bet had been won. Dercey was no relative of ours; but he win an intimate friend of Ours. He was present at the bet. 1 knew from him after that that he had received the money. I don't know why the money was sent down to me. and 1,0001. of it sent back again by me to Darety in London. I hod nothina to do with the Cutinetto snatch. I don't remember whether I went to York to fix the time for the Castinetto nuttgb. I forget. Did you not on the 7th of December go to York and fix the day—on your oath?-1 remember going to York on some message from my brother. Did you fix the time for thu Castinetto match? —1 forget all about it. I have been foolish enough to make bets myself. [A paper was here put into the witness's hand.] I don't remember betting with Mr. Clifton. This paper is in ray writiag. Oh, I recollect that Mr. Coyle came to me about a bet with Mr. Clifton—it was a transaction ter Coyle. whom I did not know. I swear I did not win 5001. from Mr. Clifton, son of Sir Juekes Clifton, before he was of age. I may have had a bet of 5001. with him--I don't re collect whether I had or not. I will swear I did not win 5001. of him [A paper was here put into the hand, of the witness. It was en apology front Mr. Kennedy, v,ritren a t the Burlington Hotel, to Captain Holder Alleys's.] L don't know whether the apology referred to the bet With Clifton —to charges Kennedy had made of my havimg defrauded Clifton. 1 don't know that it had reference to that matter. interceded between mybrother - I to pre vent violence.
