MAJJItAS. The Orel Lund Athenteum says: We have nothing of interest to note its ennection with oar own presidency. The Railway Committee have held ON meeting only since oar last The qui scion, where is the iron to come from ? naturally arises from the discus don of railway prijects, and has not been lost sight of by the Indian journal., who Mn, as a =seer of course InIiGUS that the construe:lL sit of railways in India shoul d, among other benefit), usiet ie the development of the mineral re sources of the country, and they consequently advocate the employment of native iron. That vut stores of iron ore are to be found in various parts of India, is a fact not perhaps very goat rally known, yet unqueetionable notwithstanding, but beton it could be applied to railway purposes a complete change must be wrought in the mode of its manufac ture. As at present worked up, it must be confessed to be neat to useless; but were European skill and mecha nical appliances brought to bear upon it, there is little doubt that an article could be produced of first-rats quality, and much cheaper than could be produced in Great Ramis. A local contemporary, writing on this subjec', though in allusion more particularly to Porto Novo iron, observes, vary justly, that " the work of developing the mineral resources tif the country has not only been com menced long sines in Southern India, but the heat and bu dge of the day are over, and nothing, we believe, is now wanting bat the application of means, to insure the unlimited productioa of the finest iron in the world." A change hie taken place in the command of the troops composing the garrison of Fort St. George. Lieutenant- Colooel Taylor has been appoiated to the command of toe Maims troops in the ?Muller and Nerbudda territories, and Lieut. Cot Law., of the Rogineers, to maned Lieut.-Col. Taylor. This arrangement would appear to have excited some dissatisfaction, en the grounds that the chief engineer sanaot be considered u belonging to any of the corps in garrison ; a, also that the duties of ale office requiring hint to report on works *emoted at Pthaveram and other stations at a distance from Madras, he must necessarily be often absent from his sommand. Dissentients thus murmur they discon tents, en 1 Colonel Lawe kepi the appointment. The weather, we are happy to say, is much more endur able than last moieh.

The undertaking, had the manage ment of it been what it should, night have proved a gnat public COnieniCeee and remunerative to the speculators; un fortunately, however, her grounding at Point Devi was only the lest of the Emma's blunders. 'The accident took place on the night of the 13111 ult., near the point just named ; fortunately no lives wire loot but the vessel a a complete wreck. The steamier Oriental, with the London soul of the 24th e May, did not reach Madras until the morning of the ffth inst., being ail diy overdue.

In the mean time, Captain Adjutant van Cepellan was despatched, on May 15, to Lombock, with orders to the rajahs of belaparang, accepting their offer of auxiliaries, and fixing the time and means of transport ; the rajahs complied promptly, and sent 4,000 men, who were embarked on H.M. steamers on the 19th, and reached Laboean Amok the same day. Everything being now ready it was resolved to march; the commander in-chief accompanied the army, having left sufficient force to retain the position at Padang against any at tacks from the Klong-Kong side. The force which marched on Oedjoeng found on their arrival a white flag of truce, and an ambassador was rent to inform the general that on the previous evening the Rajah of .Marang Assam had been at tacked and murdered by some of his own people, aided by the vanguard of the Lombock auxiliaries. as also that the Rajah of Balaling and Goestie Djilantick had fled to the mountains, and would probably share a similar fate. Subsequently the death of there three chiefs was confirmed by their crisses being shown, one of which had a spear mark on the sheath. On the evening of May 23rd the main body of the Dutch troops with General Michiels, the commander in chief, advanced towards Kasoemba. A battalion of marines, under command of Captain Bouricius, also formed part of them troops. In order to explain the determined front shown by the enemy it is necessary to remark that north-east of Kasoemba, sad at a short distance from it, is a temple called Sceozy Lawn. and regarded as the most sacred in all Bally. The Klong-Kong people had resolved to de fend the temple to the utmost. To this temple the Dutch forces proceeded. The place was bravely defended ; but, having few fire-arnts, the spearmen were over powered and repeatedly driven back with great slaughter from a well-directed musketry and showers of grape. Having secured possession of the temple, the troops advanced on and attacked the neighbour ing villages and surrounding heights, where from 6,000 to 7,000 Balinese with lances and spears gal lantly faced the Dutch without success. The attack on the town, followed by that on the villages, placed the Dutch in the midst of the enemy. Every pre caution was used to prevent a surprise after nightfall. At about 3 o'clock in the morning the alarm was given, and all the troops flew to arms. The Balinese raised a fearful shout of " Amokh! amokh !" and moved towards the Dutch like a torrent, occasionally firing muskets. They were a gallant people, resolved to conquer or perish in the attempt. Several houses were fired by the enemy, by the light of which the artillery were enabled to use the mountain train at about sixty paces distant. Thrice the Balinese rushed impetuously on the Dutcb,and were as often repelled. They tried to move to the right, but were met by the marines with a volley of musketry. They retreated, ;ben returned in sections and attacked' the Dutch in six or seven places simultaneously ; profiting by their knowledge of the locality, under the darkness of the morning, they finally succeeded in entering the centre of the village, right opposite to where the head-quarters of the Dutch ware established. At this juncture a stray shot struck the commander in-chief on the thigh ; the general fell, and was conveyed on b eard one of the vessels of the fleet, where the wounded limb was removed by amputa tion, but the general sank under the operation. From the position taken up by the Balinese, they were driven with heavy slaughter, a .d at dawn of day the enemy disappeared, having first fired the campong. The commander-in-chief being hors de combat, and the fire extending over the whole of the place, Lieut.- Colonel Van Swieten, on whom the active command fell, resolved to retire to the coast, which operation was effected in the utmost order, and without in terruption on the part of the enemy. This retrograde movement was oleo deemed expedient as the com mander-in-chief, not having received the expected suc cour from the native allies, was disposed to believe the existeace of treachery. The loss on the part of the Balinese must have been great, that of the Dutch (with the exception of the brave Michiels) was incon siderable, consisting of Lienta. Sindicus and Nouhuis, and four eubelterns and privates killed ; and Drs. Schneider and Eevers, Lieut. Danielle and twenty five rank and file wounded. The attak of the Badong auxiliaries on the Mon goie ended in a total defeat of the Deitch allies, with a loss of 30 killed and 100 wounded. The Raja of Gianjer deserted the Badoog auxiliaries, and went over to Klong-Kong. Colonel Swieten orgenhecd a sufficient force, and marched once more to the temple at Soeczy Meru, which was reached without difficulty, as no enemy made their appearance. The temple was well forti fied, as also the several heights encircling it, which had been taken possession of on the night of May 24. The enemy were surprised in the midst of their hill-fortifications, and the troops under Lieut.- Colonel Helback, sent to dislodge them, were re ceived with a smart fire of musketry. A few hand grenades made the enemy retire, and the force marched into the villages, where were about 3,000 men, who quickly retired, their movements being hastened by a shower of grape from the artillery. It was resolved, that on the following day the troops should march on Klong-Kong. This niovcin nt was rendered unnecessary, for at noon Mr. Lange, agent to the Netherlands government at Badong, arrived in camp from Klong-Kong, with intelligence of the Dutch allies, the Rajahs of Bsdong and Tabanau, having reached Kling-Kong on the:9th of June, with 16,000 at need men, to fulfil their preferred interference. Mr. Lange I sported having found the people cf RI dig • Kong depressed in si kits but ready to the in defence of their 'aith and temple, for which purpose 33,000 were under arms, and further, that the Dawn A.;ong Getieir Puttee had temporarily placed his authority in the hoods of liojeh Kessimate empowering the latter to conclude a treaty of peace. As the only terms on which the march of the troops to Klon "-Kong would be stopped, Celenel Swieten demanded that a depu tation should be sent to his excellency the governor general, with a letter from the Dews, a.king pardon for the past, leaving all proposal , for the future to be settled by a government commission. Colonel van Swiete 's reasons for these terms are thus stated by hims If: " Of ail the possible demands I could make this was the heaviest, but certainly the roost brilliant satisfaction which can be required by the government. . .. A deputation to Batavia is such an open fact of glory or honour that will be sounded all over the world." Colonel Swieten refused in the meet positive terms to relitquisth his intended march upon Klong-Kong unless tee deputation arrived in camp on the 15th June. On the 12th, Mr. Lange returned to camp with four deputies of quality, who were accepted as ambassadors. On receipt of the news in Java of the state of matters on the death of General Nit hiels, his Serene Highness the Grand Duke of Saxe Weimar proceeded at once to Bally, to assume the command of the ex pcdition. Arriving at Kasoemba on the evening of the 12th, when the proferred deputation bad been accepted, his ll.ghnees ,confirmed the selection, and resolved that the nobles ()hoses should accompany him to Java. His Highness immediately ordered the trooos to re-embark and retura to their quarters. The transports, we learn from the Singapore Straits Times, July 3rd, had reached Batavia, and the re mainder of the force was seen within a day's sail of that port. Thus has so far terminated the third expedition for the subjugation of Bally. After great cost of men and money, the Balinese still rejoice in their freedom as a nation. The unconquered and unsubdued Balinese will yet occasion the Dutch much trouble, and will look with exulting pride on their successful defiance of the arms, the prowess, and the resources of the Netherlands government. JAVA-BATAVIA. By the overland Mail the laraache Courant and advice. have been received to June 26th. Two lead ing events had engrossed public attention, namely, the progress of the Bally expedition and a rumoured disposition on the part of Pangeeran llarjo ltonggo to raise the standard of revolt in Java. The result of the Bally expedition is viewed as unfavourable; it was entered on with a full assurance of the total discom fiture of the Balinese and the subjugation and annex ation of Bally' to Netherlands India, and it has terminated in the Dutch bring literally forced to accept a seeming apology, a treaty of peace which will, in all probability, be less respected than any previou' one. The Dutch have completely alienated the affections of the Balinese, and rendered every thing connected with their administration hatefuL The corpse of General Michiels arrived at Batavia on the 12th June, and was buried with great military solemnity. The worthy general was much re spected ; he had declared his determination to conquer Bally or die there. The rumoured probable rising in not been realised ; it may be trom the feet that they know full well that the question has yet to be filially arranged. Trade is still in a state of torpor; and althungh about fifty chops of the new teas have arrived nr purchases have been made. Fortign nserethants are acting with caution. Of laoe years the market has been overstocked with Breach manufectures, and the holder* were in a manner Lured to reallse at a sacrifice, taking teas in exchange with barely a chance of their paying cost and charges. They are now in a better posNon; stocks are moderate, and the shipments on the way and advised are not large. The stock of tea in Eng land has also been reduced by a prudent export from this quarter during the past year; and altogether the proepec's are much more cheering than they have been for several years. The export of tea for the commercial Sear ending 30th of June is ten millions less than 1846, six millions less than 1847, and half a million less than the year ending 30th June, 1848. The total amount is from four to five millions under the actual ascertained deliveries for consumption last year; and with continued moderation remunerative p. ices are pretty certain. An analysis of the trade of 1848, among our extract', :may not be uninteresting to some of our readers.-16id. MACAO.—An unfortunate occurrence had taken place at Macao on the Bth June : A few of the seamen of the 'tips of War of her British Majesty lying in the rude et Macao landed about four o'clock, by order of Captain Keppel, their commander. They entered the lane next the dwelling-house of the Englishman, Mr. Patrick Stewart, broke open the gates of the house where Mr. ltecourt formerly lived, went towards the guard of the senate, tired upon the soldiers, who were unarmed, end consequtntly unprepared to resist, and who could by no means expect English soldisrs or seamen to COMB end attack them. One soldier was killed on the spot, the sergeant commanding the gaud and two other soldie, s were wounded They then ran to the jail, surprised the sentinel, broke open the jail, and tarried off the prisoner, Mr. Summers, who was in custody there in an apartment, and marched bec k. The y re-embarked with tte said Mr. Summers and proceeded to the steamer Canton, which was surrounded by American boats. Captain Keppel eominanued the expediti on from the wharf to their return. The cause which led to the above affair seems to have been the imprieonmea of Mr. Summers, a pro testant missionary, in consequence of refusing to take off his hat while standing amidst a crowd of kneeling and uncovered sptators while a reliions proceision was passing, and ec whom Captain Ko g ppel desired to have liberated. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CANTON. JUNE 2 . 2. Insowro.—We (Friend of China) regret our inability to report any Improvement in the import market time our last. Busi ness continues extremely dull; the transactions of the month are scarcely worthy of notice, and sales to any extent could hardly be ef fected even at a reduction on present uomtisfactory rates. About 1,000 bales cotton yarn have been forced on the market at prices below current rates; and 4,000 to 5,000 bales Bombay cotton have also been sacrificed for the purpose of effecting "ales. Grey shirting. continue heavy at last month's quotations; the Wee of the month have been within AOOO pieces. White shirtless are commanding full prices at present', the stook being much nduo-d and wholly in second Made; about 1141110 Mecca have been sold at 2.64 to 3.00 dol. W001.1.114‘ remain without alteration; the rates of long ells and Spanish stripes have been viry trifling. Mirratx—lron still continues to command high prices, the import • being m a small seals. Rod iron has advanced some 50 cents. since our last. 300 tubs of steel have been odd at 5 dell. 30 C. Liao Is ruininaly low ; about is4o piculs have been worked off at 5 dole. 50 e., nor could further sales to any extent be effected men at them rates. Tao Rkroar.—The arrival of the new Congous has engaged atten tion fur the last fortnight. About 23 to 30 chops are already to hand, and masters of 15 to 20 more have been going the routed of the mar ket; judging front these, the quality of the crop is little, if at all, superior to that of last year, although it is said that much liner teas aro on the way down. The teamen have, as usual, snmewhat mode rated the extravagant rates at first demanJed; "till we have not heard of a sh,gle settlement; and it Ia but reasonable to expect • that the elm:lmam of previous seasons, coupled with the unsatisfactory accounts lately received of the knglish mar ket, will induce purchaaers to act with some degree of caution. The manufacture of scented orange pekoes and scented cam nt has been en rather an extensive scale, and during the early part of the month these teas were taken pretty freely at current rims ; latterly, however, owing to the heavy shipment', the demonl has subsided and prices have materially receded, though without having the effect of inducing further purchases to any extent. Green tees are neglected ; the market is nearly swept of all but very useless tea. Only one vessel has been despatched since our lad—the Oaro mandel, for London; and a. there appears no probablity of any fur ther departures during the present month, the ea ports fur the season 1846-49 may fafrly be said to have Moved. Our statement will be found to exhibit a deficiency of about half a million an the exports of last year, 6 millions on that of 1646.7, and 90 mflifons on that of 1845-4 k The quantity of green VIA, though somewhat 1n excess is not equal to a twelvemonth's consumption for (hest Britain; that of black falls four to five millions short of last year's deliveries. At the commencement of the month the market w cleared of old Congo'' , at 11 taels; purchased, we undenitand, for as America. New wonted old Pekoes have been taken at 20 to as taela ; ditto Capers, at 20 to 25 teeth These teas may now be purelmaed at a reduction of 4to 6 tact.. In all other descriptions of tea there is literally nothing doing, and tie market hi so bare that prices are purely nominal. Ontil.—Potna, new, 516 dots.; Mosses, 517.50 doled Malwa, MI dots.; Turkey, 395. The export of silk amounts to 18,600 hales, signet 22,400 bales during the previous semen. Exchange on England.-4s.

From this remote settlement we have received cc taunts to the 22nd June, en which day the Hon. Company's steamer sailed for Sarawak and Singa pore. The ad; ices by this opp Ttunity are of the , moat gloomy nature, owing to tl.e prevalence of fever, which was general ; indeed it was as severe as at any time since the colony was opened, and, judging from the experience of the former year, there is every prospect of its increasing with the advance of the rainy season. In solisequenee of sicktess on the low grounds in the neighbourhood of tale and fresh - water swamps, Ilia original site fur tFe town was aban doned, and the dwellings were removed to the high land, a mile or two distant from the port. The fever has now reached the Elevate d range, and is marked by all the severity of type experienced on the marshy land. In the list of persons attack , dby fever, and still suffering when the Nemesis (paced the island, were the officials, excepting the lieutenant-governor, the European non-official residents, and the natives employed in government works or on the coal seam. KM S. Royalist, acting as guardship, had suffered severely; the commander and three officers, and twenty of the crew were on the fever list, and one of the crew had died of Lehman fever. I 3 ALLY. THE THIRD EXPEDITION UNSUCCIESSIPL. At the date of our former advices the progress of batch arms at Bally was a series of successes, not withstanding the stout resistance offered by the Bali nese. Up to the arrival of the lest mail from Batavia everything betokened the complete subjugation of Bally. The present mail brings intelligence of the check sustained by the Dutch, which, although not amounting to a defeat, has comp'etely frustrated the object of the expedition, and compelled its return. The advance of the monsoon and the determined re sistance of the only remaining unconquered state or province in Bally have not only forced the Dutch to quit the shores of Bally, but inspired the natives of the latter country with a degree of energy and pa triotism which even Dutch prowess was unable to withstand. Oar former advice' extend'.d to May 20. Thos •by the present mail reach to June 13. Thu province of Bslaling having been completely subju gated, and a new government established, the main body of the troops quitted Djaga Raja and Sangsiet for Karang Assam and Klong - Kong; the land passage being almost insurmountable to an army with heavy artillery, Sm., the general commanding, Michiels, embarked the troops on the 9th May, and sailed for the opposite or south-easterly part of the island, where the only landing places were Labocan Amok and Padang Cove. On the 12th the ships of war and transports reached the Amok Bay, and disembarked on the following day. On landing, it was observed that the whole of the mountain heights were occupied by the enemy, numbering about 3,000 men, against whom Lieutenant-Colonels le Bron de Vexela and de Poland were despatched with several companies of infantry, in two directions, which suc ceeded in Xspersing the enemy afters short skirmish. In the meantime, the reminder of the troops landed and marched to their head-quarters at Padang Cove, their debarkation being secured by a body of troops under Lieutenant-Colonel van Swie'en. The enemy's bivouac fires were observed on the heights to the westward during the night, but disappeared on the following morning. Several petty chiefs surrendered themselves at the head-quarters of the army, and informed the general that on a false alarm Goestie Made Djoengoctan, dictator of 'Luang Assam, had Bed in company with a few of his followers, but the true or well-disposed population refused to follow him. A few days subsequently the Qoestie tendered his submission to the general, and suggested that on the advance of the troops several persons of rank would forsake the rajah. The submission of Ciorstie Made Djoeigoetan was accepted, and he was directed ~; to Java, it would appear, had came foundation in fact. twhiethaw.t.Unilh:l7.bh4n,tpiroe..vitfu4lyeginavoefte m , e l n c tic i nt e ont eed it7tsciiihr tte disd. ..,:fe.iien74:ilibithrit.g In the early . part of April last, the resident of lijokjakarta informed the government that Pan- L'..ticth h etheploe„trgue b 'e on 6' e l lZo i rdlrs a l e tav uf e I,:e "ri l is " eri6 la geeran Halo Ronggo, brother of I)hipo Negoro, the praying that such measure. moy be aloptel s aa u l o ‘l d ' u u d lender of the general rebellion, and related to the I the faithful w d lt iu toh ..h . a ,t r h g: t. o y f_ ni th , e g o: a l r i a s n at t i ee on d s present Sultan and other purees of high rank, was future peyn.ent of the cividends, without any del uot i wi.l : organising and arranging ft r an insurrection in I conform l i , ty b ugunne pleased for the gratify favour of hie brother, in order to place the latter on to thank ini present administration y the hopes rbeyseentetortasrity to tks. which e t file ° have t e , ta d the throne of Java.

AN ARTILLERYMAN SIIOT.—CIIATIIAM, ACG. 18. —Yesterday the Royal Artillery at this garrison areembletl at the usual place at Upnor, for the practice of musket-ball firing; they were tiring in companies, and it is the custam for the front man to advance from the ranks a few paces, and fire at the target; as soon as he has fired, he recovers arm•, and takes the place of the rzer man, wko advances in front. It appears that gunner William Hepper was the front man in the company, who advanced and bred, and the rear man, William M'Donald, whose piece was loaded, brought down his musket in a straight position,;and was about placing the I cap on the nipple of his piece, when by some cause the gun went off and the ball entered the back of Hepper, just as he was recovering his arms. His death was instantaneous. The deceased was a very fine young man, and was attached to Re. 4 Company of the 11th Battalion. He was removed to the garrison hospital to await a coroner's inquis% which was held this day by Mr. J. Hinde, one of the county coroners, and a verdict returned that the deceased was accidently shot. It is reported that M'D.nald will be tried by a court martial. MONEY MARKET. SATURDAY BYRNINII.
