" NI a - S The Hong papers report some engagements with the Chinese at; Canton on the night of the 20th and morning of the 21st of July. Between the little North and the East Gate, the weakest part of our _line, the enemy crowded on the wall in numbers ; but all our men had to do lvas to pelt at them through loopholes and embrfaires as fast as they could load. With the approlieh of daylight the braves, wlio wore headed by mounted mandarins, retired sluggishly. The behaviour of a regiment of Bengal Sepoys, the 70th, who were re-armed for - this expedition, is spoken of with approval. "No soldiers," says the Friend, " could have sho w n a better spirit." The Adventure, from •Shaughae, had arrived at Hong Kong, disembarked part of the detachment of her Majesty's 59th Regiment, and left for Can ton with the residue, about 300. In consequence of .the general migration from Hong Kong of Chinese shopkeepers, servants, and • labourers, and the serious inconvenience caused to them thereby, a number of the influential European residents had joined in a memorial to. Sir John Bowring, representing to him that this flight from the island was occasioned by menacing . notices, issued by or throu g h th e i nstigation of the Shun kum ; that within a very few days from that time, if the movement were not adequately checked, nearly every Chinese from the•neighliouring dis tricts in the employment of foreigners would be compelled to return to his home, thereby occasioning the greatest personal inconvenience to every individual of the community, and completely paralysing all the ordinary op era . tions of intercourse and daily life ; that the community was.. threatened with an entire stop pag . 6 - of the usual . supplies of goods derived from various points of the mainland ; 'that from a very partial application ofthe measure up to the present time the price of provisions had risen enormously ; • that the memoralists felt satisfied that strictly local measures were wholly inadequate to meet the exist ing emergency that this was one of those extreme occasions in which the local representatives of her Majesty's Government are imperatively called upon excrowan - "nntsital responsibility" iri - order to pliovide for the general welfare and safety ; that siMple inaction would prodw.T an injurious moral effect in the minds of the Chinese resident in Hong Kong; and that the Chinese would lose all confi dence in the rigour of our rule, when they saw us hdlpless to protect them from the arbitrary man dates of their own countrymen, simply because these were not issued within the bounds of the colony, _ rillin, . . ... _ . • \\\*",-...-,/' . ill rt l' as . t....... , is,. ....i :: .

European civilisation has a tendency to spread itself over the whole surface of the globe. It has teirady conquered both A mer i cas ; it is rapidly developing itself in Oceania, and the English rule will perhaps succeed in introducing it into Hin dostan.

" The expenditure in this department throughout India must be about ,£250,000 a-year, the amount in Bengal by the last official report being— _ v. 9, The business of the ACCIDENTAL DEATH INSURANCE COMPANY having been purchased by the TRAVELLERS' AND MARINE INSURANCE COMPANY, all the Policies of the late Company adopted under the Deed of Purchase are guaran teed and kept in force by the Travellers' and Marine In surance Company, upon precisely the same terms and con ditions under which they were originally issued. Total Policies issued 39,000 Claims paid since 1819 £71,000 Annual income from Premiums (1857) It is a fact well worthy of remark, that of all the peoples in the world those who live under the empire of the Koran have the greatest antipathy to civilisation. For ages they have been in con stant relations with us ; the territories they occupy border those of ,Christian nations; ; our commerce and policy envelop them; as it were, in a net ; they see our superiority and acknowledge it ; but the bad law they have adopted says to - them, "No peace with the infidels." The days, however, are close at hand when Islam ism must bow its head or perish. The Mediterranean cannot in future wash the land of barbarism. Mehemet Ali understood it, and Egypt has hoisted the standard of civilisation. The Bey of Tunis himself has felt it, and is endeavouring to introduce into his states the principles and institutions that constitute our greatness and our strength. Besides, he has France in his front, Egypt on his right, and Algeria on his left.

The ' Director-General and the three inspectors whose business it is chiefly to look after the grants in aid draw among them 70,000 rupees a-year, while the grants in aid are only 43,000 rupees. It is re ported that the survey of. Madras has also been sus pended, but this is not authenticated. " The Naval Brigade of the Shannon has returned from the North-West. The first division arrived in Calcutta on the 14th August, and were received by the President in Connell and all the . officers of Go vernment. The ships in the port were dressed, and about 20,000 natives and Europeans turned out to see the reception. The special- honours paid to the brigade, which have not been paid to the sol diers, have excited some comment, but the honour is felt to be one due_ to the memory of Sir William Peel. The-brigade is reduced to 370 men, the ma jority of whom are lads of 20. The Shannon pro ceeds immediately either to China or England.- She has five or six captains and commanders on board, every officer having been promoted. " A report has just been made to the Chamber of Commerce, Calcutta, on the condition of the railway in Bengal. According to this statement the prospects of the line are most unsatisfactory,. except as regards the sections already opened. The South Beerblioom section may be opened' by the end of 1859, but in the North Beerbhoom division, Messrs. Smith and Atkinson's contract is' not pro gressing satisfactorily.' The next 100' miles to Colgong are in the.hands of the Company itself, and progress is very slow.' On the next section, 74 miles to Poweebund, the works are stopped by the state of the country, as they are also in the district ;from the' Sone through Arrah to the Kurumnasa. ' All speculation as to the completion of the line,' says the superintending engineer, must be dependent on 'the time when- the pacification of the country is effected.'

Wright, Fulwood's Rents, Holborn Profiting by our counsels, he first abolishes piracy ' and then slavery. Mohammed took another step in advance last year. He promulgated a constitu tution that guarantees security to all Tunisian sub jeets, whatever - their religionmay be, declares them all equal before the law, establishes proportional taxation without exemption or pyiyil4f,res, abolishes compulsory recruitment and substitutes conscrip tion by - lot, creates a tribunal of -commerce the members of which are composed o! Mussulman subjects and resident Christians, assures to all free dom of track, and prohibits the Government from engaging in it. Ihis constitution, doubtlesS, - does not work yet with perfect regularity. But the principle is laid down, and nothing is now wanting but to persevere in the path so wisely traced out. The Tunisian Government *has just completed these reforths by the creation of a municipal , council, the first that has ever been organised in Mussulman states.

THORLEY'S FOOD . FOR CATTLE.- It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious article of animal diet first made its appearance ; and. already its celebrity is world-wide. It has been a subject of wonder, and has puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been brought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts concerning - the food, our wonder will cease. A few days since, a gentleman wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a " perfect bag of bones." He tried all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain. Hetthen bought some of Thorley's food; and he says the effect was wonderful. The horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a'few weeks had gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agri cultural shoWs at Birmingham, Cardiff, &e., the animals which carried off the highest prizes had• been partly fed with Thor ley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we are forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely from its own intrinsic merits, and the great demand for it can proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those who have tried it. All parties interested in horses and cattle will do well to apply to 77, Newgate-street, London, for a pamphlet which is sent post-free. TO THE NERVOUS AND DEBILITATED.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fear ful consequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Manhood, and premature decay at all stages of!life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to mOdern pathologists. Its perusal is p ar ti cu l arly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condi tion, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is en titled. _ _ _ It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness-may be removed, and how the evil and - its consequences may be avoided, and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

In a communication addressed to the Academy of Sciences, M. Verdeil announces the discovery of a green substance extracted from the flowers of plants, and quite distinct from the green of their leaves. It is well known that the extremities of the petals of a flower, by which they adhere to the chaly, are white ; in buds they are whiter still, and particularly in the flower of the thistle. If this white part be boiled in water, and then subjected to pressure, the, juice obtained will be colourless, and remain 05 in contact with the air ; but if a few drops-ofp solution of carbonate of vodeor limewater be added, the surface of the liquid will gradually assume a green colour, and if it be well shaken the Whole will become dark green. If there be an ex cess of alkali the green will acquire a yellowish tint ; in that case a littl e ace ti c acid will transform it into a bluish green. Alum, the acetate of lead, and the deutoxide of tin precipitate fine green lakes of different shades from the liquid. These lakes, being separated by filtration, and dried, maintain their colour, and resist the influence of light. The protoxide of tin forms a yellow precipitate, and also changes to yellow the green lakes obtained with alum and the acetate of lead. In order to insulate the colouring principle the lake obtained with acetate of lead is decomposed by sulphuric acid diluted with much alcohol .at 40 deg. of Beaume ; the colouring principle is dissolved by the alcohol, while the lead combines with the sulphuric acid. The liquid is then filtered and heated with ether which pre cipitates the colouri ng principle. her, being col lected on a filter, washed w ith water , and dried, it is found to be of a yellowish brown ; it does not melt, but is decomposed by heat ; it cannot be sub limated, but will burn away, leaving some slight traces of ashes. - It is insoluble in water and in acids, not very soluble in alcohol, but is very easily dis solved in alkalies, to which it communicates a green colour. An excess of acetic or hydro-chloric acid will turn the colour into red and precipitate it. Concentrated sulphuric acid dissolves the colouring principle, and gives it a brilliant red colour. This colouring matter has great affinity for aluminous mordants fixed on cotton, but it does not directly dye either silk or wool. M. Verdeil conclwles by saying that our thistles and artichokes are not suffi ciently rich in this colouring principle to admit of its hemg used as a dye on a large scale, but that those of warmer climates most probably contain this substance in larger quantities. [AnvEnusnmENT.]- 7 Painless Tooth and Stump Ex traction.—By her Majesty's Royal Letters Patent. Mr. Bethel, surgeon dentist, 38, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly, opposite the• York Hotel, has the pleasure to inform the nobility, gentry, and public, that he has a patent apparatus for ;painless tooth and stump extraction, by . congelation (wiihont the risk of - applying, chloroform), simple iii its action, and is used with the greatest facility. The council will consist 9f a president, vice president, secretary, and twelve members selected from the chief inhabitants of the" country. Their removal will be effected annually by a third. For the first two years this renewal will. take_ plate by lot. It will then be carried on in the o r d er of seniority. The members will be re-eligible. Two members of the connoil . will assist the presi dent each day in trying public cases. The ordinary sittings of the council will be held for four months in the year, but the council must, during the other months, re-assemble whenever their duties require it. All the' disc uss i ons w ill b e recorded in the minutes, bearing the signatu r e s o f the councillors, and this register will be shown to the Government, on which devolves the charge of approving and carrying, out the municipal decisions. he council will deliberate on the revenues ac cruing to the town, on the means of increasing them, and on the expenses to be incurred.. It will attend to the proper distribution and sale of the municipal property in land, to the preservation and repair of buildings, the keeping of the streets in a fit state, and the embellishing of the town. The president is charged with, the reg,ulation of the ex penditure, with superintending the employment of the revenues, and the application of all the regula tions respecting the police and the highways. For the sake of public utility, the council will be permitted to treat with private individuals for the purchase of lands and tenements. Should the owner demand too much a forced sale will be re sorted to, and the owner of the property will be properly indemnified in •conformity with the ver dict of a jury composed of four old inhabitants of the country, four - appraisers, and four of the upper burgesses. _ The president of the council will receive the re ports and informations of the police officers, whose duty it is to see the police and highway regulations duly enforced. In virtue of these regulations the inhabitants are prohibited under penalties from placing vehicles where they would,cause a stoppage of traffic, from placing on the highways any build ling materials or afensive-,reftve,.. from erecting booths or sheds for the sale of itierdgandise, &c. The apportioning of the penalty incurred by the offenders will be made by at least two members of council ; but inasmuch as the council has no com pulsory powers, the carrying out of the sentence in regard to those who shall refuse to pay their fine will devolve on the authorities to whom the offender is naturally subjected. The constitution ends with this truly Eastern phrase :—" Salutation on the part of one humble before his God, his slave, Mushir Mahommed- Basha-Bey, possessor of the kingdom of Tanis. May God be propitious to him! Written on the 20th Moharem, 1275" (August 20, 1858). We shall confine ourselves to one simple reflec _ tion on this characteristic document. Itembodies the profound revolution that has been forming in Northern Africa ever since the th w when the ban ner of France and of civilisation was unfurled triumphantly over the Kaabah of Algiers. A MODERN LOCHIIVVAR. The usually quiet and staid inhabitants of Camp beltown were one mornings not long ago,.rather unexpectedly surprised. to discover that their good town had been the preceding evening the scene of an escapade somewhat after the manner of the Young Lochinvar. A few months since a well-known Glas- gow merchant, pleased with the scenery of Camp beltown, took possession of a charming cottage overlooking the loch, determined to make it his sum mer quarters. He was accompanied by his wife and daughter. Shortly after their arrival in Campbel town a gentleman in connection with her Majesty's Customs was introduced to them, and fell at once under the spell ofthe daughter's charms, at the same time awakening a tender interest in the breast ofthe young lady. The papa was inexorable, and put an end for a time to the soft whisperings by placing the young lady under what he imagined the secure guardianship of rock and key. But our fair maid, though closely confined, by no means gave up thoughts of liberty and of the enjoyment of the society of him to whom she had yielded her young affections. By means best known to themselves they held communication, and Paterfamilias being still stern, the lady continued firm in her resolve to have none but the man of her choice ; and the lovers determined to steal a march, fly, and be joined in the bonds which no man can sunder. To accomplish this a fishing smack was hired, a night chosen which was dark and showed every prospect of a rattling breeze, and a skiff with muffled oars procured to bear the lovers to the larger boat, which was to await them a mile off. About half-past ten in the evening according to pre •arranpment, the lady stepped forth by the window, with no more extensive trousseau than the dress she had been wearing during the evening, and a round hat. She was then received by her future lord, who hurried her off to where the skiff was hauled up on shore, with four strong fellows along side up to their knees in the sea, ready to shove her off. One moment and the lady 'was placed in the stern, the men jumped into the boat, and. in five minutes - they reached the fishing smack, where they could defy pursuit, for she was put bofore the wind, • and scudded up the sound of Kilbrannan before a strong south-westerly gale. They reached Loch Ranza after a passage fearful 'enough to have set half-a-dozen ordinary young ladies nut of their wits, but which our heroine, no doubt love-sujported, bore admirably. Here our runaways remained till daybreak, and afterwards resumed their perilous journey, which, however, had, as it deserved, a happy termination, when the same evening they reached the residence of the gentleman's brother in-law, in Dumfriesshire, where in a few days after This daring adventure met with its crowning reward, through the kind offices of the parish mi nister. We may mention that the gentleman's brother and sister accompanied the fugitives.— North British _Daily Mail. ACCIDENT AT HAYMAKING. --An accident of a most fearful description occurred to the daughter of Mr. Blair, Skelton-wood-end, Castle. Sowerby. She was in the act of loading a cart with hay, when she lost her balance, and fell upon a pitchfork, which the man-servant was just uplifting. One of the prongs passed through her chest and protruded underneath her shoulder-blade ; the other went beneath the arm-pit, and when withdrawn a gurgling sound alarmed the females in attendance. She is, however, now quite recovered.—Carlisle Patriot. [ADVERTISEMENT.] —Holloway's Ointment.—Skin dis eases are prevalent everywhere, and everywhere it is known that Holloway's matchless ointment is a specific remedy. The demand for it is extraordinary. When this ointment is applied to the diseased parts the effect is wonderful.. It is more like that of magic than of medicine, but the relieved patient need not let his astonishment and delight be dashed with fear or doubt as to the ultimate result of so sudden an action on the system, for this famous ointment is as inno cent and benign as it is _powerful. It does not throw the disease inwards, but insinuates itself through :the pares of the' skin to the original cause of the evil, and effects a thorough cure. " Lord Har r is, the Governor of Madras, is very ill. - He has h a d a paralytic stroke, and his physi cians recommend his immediate departure. The event has created some feeling- at Madras, as Lord Harris, though coniidered a failure as an adminis trator, is personally liked. He arrived at the presi dency with an immense reputation, the result of his popularity in Trinidad, but it was soon perceived that his character, however amiable, promised little for energetic action. He was an admirable consti tutional ruler, the faculty of all others most unsuited to an Indian presidency. No man understood better how to manage a Council, how to reconcile conflict ing opinions, how to take an interest in philanthropic schemes. In a - colony such qualities are almost in valuable. In India men look for real leaders in their governors, and anything is forgiven except weakness. Lord_ Harris devoted himself to small plani, opening museums and founding agricultural societies—excellent things in their -way, but not . calculated to redeem a presidency. - "It is understood that Sir John Lawrence will be requested to accepts the vacant kppointnient, but it is doubtful whether he will be induced to eon . sent. His health has suffered, and his application foi leave hr February has already' been submitted. Without a peerage; moreover, the appointment would scarcely be a pleasant one to a man who now receives 10,000 a-year. He would be instantly in conflict with all the civilians who in Madras have never had a master, and who are wedded to a re venue system which Sir John is scarcely likely to endure. lt is possible, however, that he may accept, and the day will be a fortunate one for the Madras Presidency. " The illness of Lord Harris is almost the only 'incident of the week, and I take advantage of the lull in events briefly to sketch the progress made throughout this side of India towards the extinc tion of the revolt. Beginning in the extreme north the Punjab remains profoundly quiet. There is a report given in the ltlgfussilite that the disarmed regiment at Dhera Ismael Khan has escaped since the discovery of the plot iii the 10th Punjabees, but .1 receive it with distrust, as a mere exaggeration of the original . statement. It is, however, true that Sir J. Lawrence has urgently demanded the with drawal of the disarmed sepoy regiments. These men are. perpetually plotting, and they fill the heads of the Mulwaie Sikhs with suspicion and disaffec tion. These Mulwaie'.Sikhs, who form about a , third of the Sikh force, are Poorbeas by blood, and: only adopted- the blue robe and the faith of the Nanac after the Khalsti had become powerful. They are confined to the Cis-Sutlej States, and are large boned, . well made,. brave men, but want the dash and el-au of the true Sikh. Sir John Law rence, since the movement in the .10th Punjab In fantry, .has suspended their further, enlistment, and is bringing down hillmen, chiefly Dogras, to supply. their place. They are - a source of great anxiety, since, even if the Sikhs of the dis trict remain faithful, the massacre of the offi _. cers, with which the Mulwaies of the 10th meant to commence operations, commits the regiment. The dislike to move displayed by Government in this matter of the disarmed regiments is extraordi nary. Once dispersed they could add nothing to the strength of the enemy, while they retain some 12 re g iments of. Europeans inactive, except as guars. A few days ago the remnants of the 19th and 43d N: I. were amalgamated with two other regiments at Barrackpore, but 'the regiments, though without men or officers, are still officially in existence. " Proceeding southward we have an of rebels who,:after flying over half Rajpootana, have broken into Meywar. There General Roberts, with a strong force of 1,100 Europeans, 350 of Whom arc cavalry; 750 natives, and 400 sowars, has at last come up .with them. lie had apparently, however, left his cavalry to guard his camp, for the only re sult of the skirmish was a less of seven men to the enemy. By the latest accounts the rebels were at Povien, supposed to be marching either to Joudh pore or Oodeypore. Gen. Roberts was about 25 miles r behiiitt - Tnitits he marches -14 Miles a-day, and the rebels 40, his chance of overtaking them is small. A third force, consisting of about 400 Europeans, with eight guns, 350 N. 1., and 650 N.C. has gone out froni Neemuch, and the rebels will scarcely obtain aid in. Oodeypore. Nothing saves them from destruc tion except the admirable skill with which they run away, and that cannot serve them for ever. It is the peculiarity of the Indian empire, as it was of the Roman, that it has nothing beyond it. Between Central Asia and the sea there is no escape from • British power. In Ulwar, - also, there has been a disturbance. The Mussulman population of the city rose on the 7th of August and attacked the Minis ter Fyzoolla Khan. Two of his relatives were killed, and his own life was threatened, but he appears to have called on the Hindoo population, and by latest accounts. had driven the rebels out of Ulwar. With these two exceptions' the whole of the vast territory included in the Punjab, Rajpoo tana, and the North-West Provinces, as far south as Allahabad, may-be said to be free from danger. There are some thousands of rebels cowering about Gwalior, and gangs of dacoits keep up a feeling of uneasiness everywhere, but there is no enemy a police regiment is not competent to manage. " In Oude itself several important successes have been gained. Capt. Dawson, with 400 military police and 50 horsemen, attacked Sundela on the 11th August. Sundela is the old cantonment about 25 miles . north-west of Lucknow. The enemy, who were commanded 'by Feroze Shah in person, are officially estimated at 3,000 strong, with five guns. They were, however, defeated with the loss of 100 men ; and a native noble, with 700 followers, was put in p ossess i on o f t h e town. I to ld you M ann Singh had written for aid from Fyzabad, and.that Sir H. Grant had been despatched to his assistance. The relieving force arrived at Fyzabad and occu pied the city, the sepoys flying towards Sultanpore. Followin g up the blow, Sir H. Grant on the 9th August despatched Brigadier Horsford, with a por tion of his troops, to attack Sultanpore. That officer arrived on the 13th inst., and, after a brief, but severe. engagement, drove the rebels across the Goomtee, and shelled Sultanpore. This also was evacuated, part of the fugitives making towards Azimghur, and part doubling back, in the hope of reaching Gonda. Thither a large division of the • Fyzabad sepoy s had previously fled, and, as they are all nearly destitute,, and all demand pay, the.un lucky Rajah of Gonda is at his wits' end. So keenly is he oppressed by the depletion of his treasury that he has written to Lucknow, to beg, for terms. It is questionable -if he will obtain them, but the recent victories have produced an extraordinary effect, the country between Lucknow mid I'vzai).l,l, and,' Fyzabad and Sultanpore, subrniiting at once. Cen tral and eastern Oude may be considered therefore quelled. North-eastern Oude is still rebel, while the south and the neighbouring districts of Azimghur, Jounporc - Allahabad, Benares,-Buxar, and Ghazee pore are disturbed by the broken fragments of the Oude armies. In each zillah, however, they are . hunted by active officers with picked Europeans. Colonel Berkelv has nearly cleared Allahabad, and Major Carr at Buxar, on the Bth of August, cut up about 100. He put . loo Europeans on elephants, took some light cavalry and a few Madras Rifles, - and marched as fast as the mutineers. All these broken gangs skulk gradually southwards to what is now their rendezvous, the great jungle near JugdespOre. No attempt has been made to drive them thence during the .fortnight. They have plundered Mus-• reegunge, threatened Arrah, and attempted to attack Doomraon, but the general position of affairs is as when I last wrote. Lord Clyde, however, has or dered a collection of 5,000 me n by the cold weather to finish the Sahabad affair. Confined as the Bhoj poorees are by the angle formed by the Soane and the Ganges, both unfordable, theyhave little chance of escape. The remainder of Bengal is perfectly quiet. You will perceive from this account that it is only in one section of Onde that anything worthy to be called war at present exists. The .embers, however, are scattered, not extinguished, and the Commander-in-Chief is deubtless• wise in concen trating the great army he intends to lead in the cold weather. By the 25th of October an army of 25,000 Europeans and 10,000 natives, chiefly ca valry, will be collected at Cawnpore. This is, I believe ' a larger force of Europeans than has ever been collected in an Indian campaign, and might march from one end of the empire to the other with out seeing a foie. It is strong enough, at all events, to 'convince the landholders of Oude that they have no resource but unconditional submission. " Them will remain the far more difficult work of reconstruction, particularly in finance. The enormous expenditure going on appears to have attracted attention at home, for the Gazette of the 14th inst. contained the following notification Fort William, Home DaPartMent, Aug. 6. otthcation.—The following extract (paragraph 38) of a despatch from the Hon, the Court of Directors in the COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. ExPonTs.--Our produce market remains - Much in the same state as before ' - 'supplies of all stapleS are not coming &Oil so freely as has been expected ; and prices, compared with, the position of the home markets, still keep too high to 'be dealt in to a fair extent. Linseed and rapeseed are the only articles which have arrived freely, and have been shipped largely, induced by low rates of freight. - IMPORTS.—The market on the whole has been, and_ still continues as favourable as before, and prices of all descrip tions of grey and bleached cottons have been fully maintained and may be reported a shade higher. Mule twist has been in stady demand, and all qualities and counts have been fully maintained and have improved in price 1 to 3 pie per morah, Woollens are still neglected but the season for operation is approaching. Metals generally have not yet improved. - THE MONEY MARKET continues as before, money plenti ful, and accommodations are obtainable in the bazaar on easier terms than those of the bank. A further reduction of 1 per cent. was made last week on the Bank of Bengal dis counts and interest, and a reduction has taken place this week of 5 per cent. in the margin of loan on the 4 per cent. paper and 1 per cent. interest on the discount of gotern ment acceptances—there has been a great excitement in the fours in consequence. The present rates of the bank discount, on private bills and notes at or within three months, 7 per cent. ; on Government acceptances, 4 per cent. RATES op ADVANCE.—On 4 per cent. Company's Paper Sa. Rs. 100 ; Co.'s Rs., 80. On goods, 3-4ths of approved valuation. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES Continue improving, and some disposition is 'shown fce large operations as soon as the market improVes further. Our present quotations show an improvement of 31,per cent. on the 4, and 2 per cent. on the 5 per cent. paper since our last. Transfer stocks are altogether unprocurable. • EXCHANGE ON LONDON.—A very moderate business has been' chine for this mail. We have heard of, sales of first class credits at 2-0 i to 2-01, and Document Bills at 2-Of to 244, The local Banks have been drawing at six months' sight at 2-01. . _ (From the Bombay Times.) • - BOMBAY, SEPT. 6. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Madras, with the English mails of the 2d August, reached Bombay in the afternoon of the 24th August. We have no material change to notice in the money market. COTTON PEICE GOODS.—The activity in the market has somewhat slackened, but the general tone has not much altered. The amount of business transacted shows a falling off. The prices of shirtings • are nevertheless higher, and as the season progresses more doing in these fabrics is to be expected. Grey madapollams are improving in demand, and the prices look up. Grey long cloths are in demand, and prices have advanced. BLEACHED AND FANCY GOODS.—Bleached long cloths are in fair inquiry. Bleached madapollams are very dull of sale ; and bleached jacconets, low quality, have slightly advanced. COTTON YAnNi,—ln mule and water twists, but espe cially the latter, there has been less business transacted than before. MI:TAM—The market for this staple is very dull, and we have no material alterations to notice in any description of metals. EXPORTS.—Cotton : The prices have not altered since our last, though the supplies from the districts have been rather early. Oil seeds : There has been a fair amount of business transacted in the market for these goods. For linseed a fair demand has prevailed ; tecl seed is in active demand ; and Niger is in moderate request. _ _ _ TONNAGE.—No imprOvement has taken place in the rates of freights, the rates of the day being £1 to £1 108 for Liverpool and London ; and for China its: 4-8 to its. 5 per candy. EXCHANGE.—The closing rates are 2s. Okd. to 2s. 01d. The rates on London varied from 2s. Oid e to 2s. Old. for six months' sight Bank paper. The rates on Calcutta, at sixty days' sight, are 11s: 99 1 ; on Madras, at thirty days' sight, Its. 991 ; and on China, at sixty days' sight, its. 216 per 100 dollars. CHINA. Our Hong Kong advices are to the 12th of Aug. The Governor-General of the province of Canton, whose malignant proclamations and addresses to the " braves " were brought to England by the last mail, had received news of the concision of a treaty of peace, and had immediately announced it to the Cantonese. The immediate effect of this notification was a cessation of the rocketing and gun-firing at night, so that the garrison at Canton was able once more to sleep in peace. It was hoped that the first fruits of the Treaty would be permanent, and that the kidnapping and similar dastardly modes of war fare practised by the braves would cease. Great dis satisfaction was felt. at Hong Kong because the Earl of I;k;ia hat.:. a iyJin Lod Slianghae as the place for adjusting the rate of . the tariffs, and also for not making known the terms of the treaty. The Friend of China of the 10th of August states that " doubts have been disseminated as to whether the Emperor knows of the terms of the treaty," and that such iuncertainty - was injuring our prestige with the Chinese. Hwang's proclamation, however, should dispose (if these doubts. The Friend continues : '" Doubtless the Earl has carried reserve too far. .For instance, mischief must ensue from the circum stance of Sir John Bowring on one occasion pro claiming to the Chinese, of Ijong Kong that the new treaty was signed on the 20th of June, and on another that it was on the 3d of July. As regards the Emperor's assent to the terms of the treaty, there appears no for believing but that his Majesty has dealt with this business as his predeces sor did with that of Nankin, and issued an edict directing its provisions to be carried into effect:" The Earl of Elgin and Sir Michael Seymour both left Shanghae together, on the 30th July, for Japan direct. The Earl, according to the North China Herald, expected to be back there to meet the Im perial Commissioners, in order to consider the new tariff, within a fortnight. It was thought probable that in about the same period Sir Michael Seymour would return to Hong Kong. .That .the Admiral did not intend a long stay at Japan was inferred from the return of his tender the Coromandel to Hong Kong. • The Russian envoy remained at Tien-tsin. A large number of Russian ships and steamers were in the vicinity of, or on their way to, the Pei-ho. Respecting the settlement of the tariffs, the North China Herald says : " It has taken everyone somewhat by surprise to learn that Kweiliang and Hivashana, the com missioners who negotiated the foreign treaties, are on their way south, ostensibly to assist in revising the tariff.' We should have thought such a task would hardly have devolved upon officials of so high a position in the empire. .Associated with them are Kifu, formerly hoppo at Canton, and now a vice-presiderit of the Board of Revenue, and Mingshen, of whom as yet we have learned nothing more. They are to consult with Ho KNirei4Sing, governor-general of these provinces. The decree, we are informed, was issued on the 15th inst., and Deferring to the considerations tVus detailed, Sir John Bowring issued a proclamation, dated. 30th June, in which, after announcing the conclu sion of peace, he thus refers to th e causes o f t h e departure of the Chinese : " But in disregard of the obligations of treaties, and of the will of his Imperial Majesty, menacing proclamations :have been issued, compelling the peaceful residents of this colony to quit their abodes, to violate their obligations, to neglect their thities, and to flee to the mainland of China ; and these menaces have - proceeded . principally from the ditricts of Heang-shan .and Sun-on.. Now, be it known to those_ who have"_issued, or who shall seek to give 'effect to such menaces; and especially to-the authorities and gentrs_of Heang : shan and San-on,. that these acts of hostility - be : telerated by' - 14; and that, unless the /proclamations and orders compelling the - Chinese people to leave this etolouy be immediately withdrawn, and the people .who have 'left the colony allowed without d e l a y t o return to their business, and to the service ofi, those with whom they have been en giigect- the places'and persons to which these hos ti acts are traceable will render themselves liable to signal punishment..- ;:z Aioreover, attempt s - ha ve b n made to stop the supply of provi s i ons t o thi s c o ny ; and it is-hereby,proelaimed that every p 'son who shall' arrest-ler attempt to arrest the sae and regular transport of a r ti c le s i n t en d e d f or th markets of •Hong,; Kong .does,by such act, de clitre himself an enemy of Great Britain, and a lalwless subject of the - Emperor - Of 'China, and will b severely visited for his off e n ce ." The first attempt t o di s t r ib u t e thi s proc l ama ti on t i. eatening the Chinese authoritie s end e d some m ; hat disastrously. - Mr. ' Mongan, who speaks • Mandarin, and Mr. Lobschied, who is acquainted trith the local dialects, went in the gun-boat Starling, to assist in the work; and some difficulty having been experienced in communicating with the. Chinese authorities, five persons ventured on the hazardous,_ almost. suicidal, expedient, of post ing up copies of the proclamation in the seaboard suburbs of Namtow. ' The people - were,' Or pro- . fessed.to be, very friendly, b u t h un d re d s o f Chi nese soldiers. soon rushed to tjie attack, and a speedy retreat had to be made to the Starling's gig, which had landed the bold adventurers.; _Beforethis boat could get out of range one-sailorwas shot dead and another wounded. . The result might have • been different had the' marines who accompanied the expedition been landed, but it seems that the officer in charge had no power to do anything Of the kind. The conduct of the Chinese autho rities or soldiers was barbarouS and inexcusable, but the Daily Press has received advices from Nam tow, which lessen the responsibility of the people. The garrison were militia in the employ of govern ment, not of the Shunkmn. The district magistrate, whose name is Wongtoongyen, was absent. Chu . Acqui, the notorious. pirate, was there in command. He wanted to attack the boats as they landed, but the people would not allow him. The foreigners, when they went to the Joss house, were in the lion's mouth, and the people could not avert, the attack which was made. That same night the people held a COnsoo, and wanted to capture Chu 'Aqui, and surrender him to the Hong Kong authorities. This rash project was abandoned on grounds of ille gality. Aqui, however, got Wind of it and escaped with his family to Shatseang. The foregoing intelligence is taken .from letters and papers which left Hong Kong in the mail packet Singapore. The steamer Ligntning, which left Hong Kong two days after the mail, carried the following additional particulars to Singapore:— . The Friend of China of the 11th inst. inciden- _ tally mentions that Gen. Straubenzee and a large force from Canton, with several gunboats from Hong Kong, had proceeded to Namtow, it was re ported, to inflict punishment on the authorities of that place for firing upon one of our boa 6 with a flag of truce. The Daily Press of the same date says that the landing party would muster 1,200 strong. The • same journal notices • that advices from Canton were by no means pacific, but that as the Iloppo had sent for the linguists, it was thought that an attempt will be made to open trade. The subjoined items are from the Shipping List of the 11th inst.,:— " The Fury will sail for the Bogue on Saturday, to relieve the Cambrian, which vessel - is to remain in Hong Kong harbour in place of the Nankin, which proceeds home. " Her Majesty's ship Pique arrived last . night from Shanghai, and anchored this morning by the Fury, to take in a supply of provisions preparotory to leaving for England. " The gunboat Staunch, on her passage down from Shanghai, put into the Island of Tawopung for shelter, intending to get under weigh imme diately after the weather moderated. The villagers came off to visit the ship, and seemed to be very greatly interested, taking particular notice of everything The having following. morning, as she was steaming cut to sea, plundered Tlley9 four junks were observed rounding one of the islands, and, bearing down upon th steamer, opened a smart fire. The large gun unfortunately had been removed to one of the large ships coming to. Hong Kong. Lieutenant Wildman, finding he could do nothing with t h e small howit zers, steamed up alongside, i n t en di ng to b oard, on which a shower of stinkpots were sent on board, setting fire to the sails, awning, rigging, &c. After a desperate struggle, -she succeeded in capturing her with two others, and the fourth ran ashore, the greater portion of their crews made their escape over the hills. During the engagement one seaman was killed .and nine wounded. One junk had Eng lish colours, one Portuguese, and two Chinese. Three of the junks were burned, and the other' was proved to be a captured junk belonging - to Ningpo. In this gallant little affair, Lieutenant Wildman succeeded in securing two of the pirates, and brought them on to - Hong Kong. They were - handed over to the police, and - will be - examined to-morrow at the police-court." The following is a passage from the Trade Report of the North China Herald of July 31:—" After a long intermis sion, business has again resumed its activty at this port (Shanghai). The retirement of the allied forces from the Pei-ho and the Gulf of Pecheli, and the coming of the Im perial Commissioners to Shanghai to carry out some of the provisions of the new treaties, have given the Chinese , assurance in the integrity of the late arrangement of poli tical affairs at Tien-tsin. The departure of the rebels, al so, from parts of the country through which foreign goods pass has tended greatly to restore confidence in mercantile opera tions." • The China Mail of August 5 has reports from Fnnchau and Amoy. Teas were cheap and plentiful at Ftmehau. At Amoy cotton yarn was .in 'good demand at 36 dols. per picul for Nos. 16 and 24; Bombay cotton in demand at 15 dole; 50c. ; Patna opium, 690 dole. ; Benares, , 695; and , Thrkey, 500 dols. • commo n rice, 2 dols.
