COTTON PIECE GOODS —The import market for most articles has continued languid during the fortnight. Grey shirtings have declined in value ; grey T cloths have been in moderate demand ; grey madapollams are in lair inquiry. BLEACHED AND FANCY GOODS —There ha. 3 been little or notbing doing in bleached madapollams. Bleached shirtings have slightly improved, as also bleached jacconets of lower qualities. In book muslios there has been no business done except in the lower sort of goods. Lappets have rather advanced. Orms.—There are heavy stocks in the market, which remains dull. We quote both Indore and Mandlesar at Rs. 1, 125-40. TONNAGE.—The rates of freights have again declined.

There is actually no want of money in the place, but we sadly lack confidence ; notwithstanding the full state of the coffers of the Bank of Bengal, we have had no b ettering of the rates of discount or interest, although money ►s easily to be bad with the native Shroffs at more advantageous rates on approved securities. OH/NA. The following is from the Overland China Mail, dated Hong Kong, NOT. 28 : The past fortnight has been characterised by little ' but repeated rumours, each one affecting greater ac curacy than another, as to when active operations were really to commence. The flag-ship Calcutta, with a number of the steamers and gun-boats, left for the River on the 17th and 18th, but beyond this, we believe, ne further step has been actually taken, and the capture of Canton is still in perspective. The admiral is said to be desirous for the presence of Colonel Holloway, who is appointed to the imme diate command of the Marines, and who, with the remainder of that body, is expected in the Ade laide, whose long passage is now creating some anaiety. At all events the force at present here is very large, and probably much better able to take Canton than General Wilson's was to take Delhi. There have been no additions to the fleet since our last overland issue, with the exception of the gunboat Kestrel ; indeed we have not many more vessels to come. The steamers, Alacrity, Retribu tion, and Viper, the Belleisle, and Melville hos pital-ships, the Princess Charlotte, storeship, and only one g unboat more , the Teazer, may be looked tor. The fleet now in Hong Kong and the river consists of eight sailing vessels, aggregating 250 gums nine steamers, 149 guns, 19 gunboats, and three despatch steamers. There are, besides, five ships of war at the northern ports. Of the force to be opposed to us at Canton no re liable information can be gained. There is every reason to believe that it will not equal what would have faced us this time last year, although still large enough to give us a little trouble. We are informed upon good authority that there was no foundation for the report that Yeh had left the city ; he is still in it, and likely to stand by it to the last. The impression that the British are going to commence hostilities soon is decidedly being felt at Canton. Some of the citizens are moving into the neighbouring villages, and not a few have brought their families to Macao, and even to Hong Kong. There seems now to be no doubt at air that the French are to assist us ; a correspondent up the river says that they are to furnish 1,000 men. This number will increase our force by about one-eighth. Very little of consequence has of late occurred in the river. A successful gunboat excursion has been made to a village near Fatshan Creek for the capture of some fire rafts. Another gunboat has since penetrated to the same place and returned with another fire raft. The following is the position of the vessels:—The Hor net, the Highflyer, the Actaeon, and the Elk, with eight gunboats form the advance squadron, close to the barrier ; the Sampson, at Escape Creek ; all the other vessels in oompany with the Calcutta, near Wangtuog. The marines and sailors are drilled regularly ashore at Tiger Island. The Shanghae steamer arrived, long before her expected time, last night, having left Shanghae only on the 24th. We have little news of general interest from that port. A correspondent writes as follows : " There has been a grand cutting off of rebel and pirate heads. Some 50 or 60, or some say 100, were decapitated to-day ; they were most of them brought in by the Pluto, a small screw steamer bought by the Chinese some time ago." _ _ _ The steamer did not call either at Fuhchau or Amoy, but we have news from the latter port to the 26th inst., by 11.M's steamer Nimrod. The Ma dagascar had arrived with loss of mainmast, through living taken in mud ballast. The Admiral was about to sail from Amoy for Havannab, with about 216 coolies. The master was fined $2OO by the Consul for failing to report a murder committed by one of the 000liou (-,iliv f,a,t,uied thn skull of another Chinese by throwing a hollystone at him), and permitting the murderer to escape. A piracy was committed on the 16th at Tinghae Bay, about 15 miles from Amoy upon Lorcha No. 64, Rozario master. Three Fuhkienese junks ran alongside, and after throwing stink-pots, boarded. They had no time to take , advantage of their capture, for the stink-pots, get ting among the 'gunpowder ' blew up the lorcha, killing and wounding several of the crew, and many of the pirates, 7of whom were missing. Some of the survivors of the crew are much burnt, and are in hospital. The quotations were—Patna, 640 dols. ; Benares, 645 dols. ; Malwa, 700 dols.—very dull. Bombay cotton 17 dols. 50c., in demand. Our latest advices from Fuhchau by the same steamer are to tha 21st inst. A. fair amount of business in tea had been done during the last fort night, but stocks were still high-90,000 chests of Congou, and 10,000 half-chests Oolong. Prices were without material alteration. Patna was quoted 700 dols. ; Benares, 700 dole. ; and Malwa, 800 dols. The Kelso had cleared fa. Landon ; and the Sarah H. Snow for New York, was altncst full. Affairs at Swatow seemed by the latest accounts to be restored to their former tranquillity. The amount collected here on behalf of the suf ferers in India has been very RlO,OOO of this sum wai rem,tted on a former occasion, and the remaining R 5,000 has been for warded through the Oriental Bank Corporation, per steamer Lancefield, at the same liberal rate of exchange, viz., R 225 per 100 dole.

(7'l ) 41,11;3I, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JAN. 13, 1858. The arrival of the Overland Mails from Cal cutta and Bombay has furnished us with full de tails of the brilliant exploits by which Lucknow was relieved, and its truly "illustrious" garrison, and the helpless fugitives whom they so nobly protected, rescued from the imminent perils to which they were exposed. The thrilling nar rative of Brigadier INGLIS, whose conduct well merited the applause it received from all parties who were enabled to bear testimony thereto, will be perused with deep interest. It states simply, but clearly, the terrible ordeal through which they passed, and exhibits, in a correct point of view, the daring courage and indefatigable exer tions displayel by all concerned. We now under stand the intensity of the trial, the manner in which every man, woman, and child behaved during the almost unparalleled tests they so well sustained. The sad death of Sir HENRY LAWRENCE, one of the most efficient officers that ever served under the East India Company, is explained. Aa eight-inch shell had fallen into the room in which he was sitting, and burst between him and Mr. COUPER, but without inflicting injury on either. He was implored to take up other quarters, as the place wherein he was accus tomed to sit had been made the special target for the round shot and shells of the enemy. Unfortunately, he neglected the salutary caution, and on the following day another shell inflicted a mortal wound on one who was alike distinguished as a soldier and civilian. The dangers bad not ceased even when the cheerful notes of the pibroch announced that " the CamrmaLs were coaling," and that one of the most illustrious bearers of that honoured name had actually arrived. Scarcely had the 'victory been achieved, and the glad tidings of safety given to those so greatly afflicted, before the boom ing of cannon in the direction of Cawnpore proved that there was a sharp conflict in that quarter. Although still mourning for IliviLoca, who had yielded up his gallant spirit on the 25th of Novem ber, Sir Court took immediate measures to meet the new emergency, whatever it might be. On the 26th he marched towards Cawnpore —leaving Sir JAMBS 017 TRAM, with 3,500 men, in the Alumbagh—and taking with him the sick and wounded, women and chil dren. It was truly fortunate that they had a guardian so efficient and thoughtful. He at once interposed his troops between 'the rebels and no n - combatants, and remained on the defensive— a severe trial to one of his temperament---until they were placed in safety. Knowing that in military operations, " legs are no less important than arms," he marched his gallant soldiers 43 miles in 31 hours, took the enemy by surprise, I drove them from their position, where they were a th r eatening Cawnpore, and capt ure d 1 6 guns. He then waited patiently until his precious charge were dispatched towards Allahabad, where they arrived in perfect safety ; and _although no men tion has been made of their further progress, there is every reason to suppose that they have long since reached Calcutta. When that task had been accomplished, and the men rested, the gallant High lander took the initiative, and well and faithfully he discharged his duty. He found that they had taken possession of a considerable portion of the town of Cawnpore, and were threat ening our entrenchments. He did not sacrifics the valuable lives entrusted to his charge by a rash assault, which, although it might have been suc cessful, must have been purchased at a heavy price. He first shelled the rebels out of the town, and, having driven them from the narrow streets, where our troops might have been embarrassed, he attacked them with rifle and bayonet, and achieved a brilliant victory. We are told that the loss of the mutineers was fearful, and that the whole army, 14,000 strong, fled in utter confusion. Thanks to the judicious arrangements made by Sir ComN, who, with the most daring bravery, economises the valuable lives of his followers, our loss was comparatively trifling. He pursued the flying enemy for fourteen miles, and captured a great por tion of their guns, carts, waggons, ammu nition, and baggage. Brigadier HOPE GRANT ably followed suit, and completed the discomfiture of the rebel force. What had been saved from CAMPBELL was taken by this distinguished officer, and the once powerful and well-organised Gwalior contingent became a mere rabble—sauve qui peut being the only matter thought of. The cam paign, so far as they are concerned, has been virtually terminated by these well-timed exploits. We do not wish at present to speak of General WINDHAM. Grave charges have been preferred against him ; and, considering the almost universal success that has attended the British arms against even greater odds than he had to encounter there seems to be a prima facie case against him. Recollecting, however, his daring gallantry in the Crimea, and the manner in which he distinguished himself in the attack on the Redan, we shall not con demn him until conclusive evidence shall prove him to be a fallen star. We shall truly rejoice to hear of his complete vindication from the grave accusations preferred. The other tidings merely confirm what we have already known by means of telegrams. Nothing , could have been more meritorious than ' the conduct of our countrywomen at Luck now, and we believe that we only give expres sion to the general feeling of the country, in suggesting that the labours of Colonel or rather Brigadier INGLIS should be adequately rewarded, and that every soldier concerned in that unparal leled defence should receive the Victoria Cross as a recognition of services that have been seldom equalled and never surpassed in the military annals of this or any other country. The Friend of India, with such freedom as the Gagging Act permits, discusses the question of the real character of the mutiny, and comes to what appears to us a very natural conclusion. While the most common opinion—one which we have shared—is, that it is a purely military revolt, the greater part of the refugees, the independent Euro peans in India pretty generally, and a large part of the Indian officials speak of it as a revolt of the natives also. The fact seems to be that there is some truth in both opinions, or rather, we should say, that with certain modifications the revolt is, substantially, a military revolt only. We have all read iu the accounts received here, from pri vats sources especially, of many most pleasing acts of kindness, of self-sacrifice even, on the part of the natives, to save refugees, or to warn those in danger. In many cases also it was evident that fear of the Sepoys prevented the peasantry from showing the kindness which they would otherwise have done. On the other hand we have had but too many proofs that the non-military populace have shared in the perpetration of some of the worst of the atrocities—that indeed in some cases they have been the chief actors. It has also been remarked that intelligence was never spontaneously furnished us when NANA SAHIB was hovering almost about) our outposts, while he knew all our movements. The Friend of India considers the explanation to be that we have not only the mutineers to deal with, but all the class also from which they are drawn. - "All the pensioners, durwans, nujeebs, police, retainers, lattials, budmashes, and the rest of the armed scum of India ; these are not the people, but their enormous numbers, wide diffusion, and strength of sympathy make them appear as if they were." Some of these classes are to be found in every village, and considerable numbers in every town. They include all the villains liberated from the gaols, and all the vil lains who ought to be there ; all the publicans and sinners, in fact, of the country, whose quality we may judge of from the disclosuass, just before the mutiny, respecting the Bengal police, and from the tortures they could inflict on their own countrymen. The numbers of this class—the terror of the quiet peasantry—are estimated at not less than three millions ; they have nothing to lose, revolt is therefore no risk to them ; if it succeed they win, if it fail they are none the worse off. These are the classes which we shall find most formidable when the rebellion is sup pressed. We may in no great time crush, destroy, or scatter every regiment and company of Sepoys, but the host of villains, spread all over the country, undistinguishable from the great mass of the people, will be more difficult to deal with than the Sepoys themselves. We have suggested before, on general grounds, the necessity of disarming the population, and we find the Editor of the journal referred to, insist ing that we have no other means of dealing with this vast and dangerous class. We cannot exter minate three millions of people ; we cannot main tain either military force, or an honest police, if procurable, to watch them, but we can render them harmless. Thieves are, of course, trouble some ; but it is robbers, assassins, dacoits, the violence of desperate men, which will be the terror and danger of the peaceable natives and of Europeans in India for many years to come. The Editor wishes for au Act which shall render the existence of a pistol, musket, sword, or iron bound club, in any but European hands, an im possibility, under penalty of death or transpor tation. This seems a very strong measure ;it will be said that peaceable natives want arms to defend themselves against :the villain class, and that to strip them would therefore be to leave them defenceless. This, however, depends upon the vigour with which disarmment is enforced. By prohibition of manufacture, by rewards for the discovery of arms, and by heavy penalties on their possession, it would be possible, probably, to get them out of the hands of villains. If so, the pea santry would be far better protected by their enemies' deprivation of deadly weapons, than by their own possession of them. There is another reason why disarmment of the natives, which practically :means disarmment of the rascally classes only, is of great importance. These are just the fellows who will endanger European life in India, who will, partly out of revenge, and partly for plunder's sake, render it dangerous for an Englishman to live or to travel in the country without an escort. All fear of this,ought to he completely dispelled. The first commercial, finan cial, and social want of India is a large influx of European skill, energy, and capital ; and the first requisite for this end is that an Englishman going NAVAL APPOINTMENT.—(This . Day.) The following appointment were made this afternoon at the Admiralty : Commander—F. W. Gough, to the Coastguard. THE EAST INDIA CHARTER. (MEETING THIS DAY.) This morning a special meeting of the proprietors of East India Stock was held at the India House, Leaden hall-street. The object of the meeting, which was called at the request of nine proprietors, viz., Lieut.-General Thomson, Mr. M. Lewin, Mr. J. Jones, Mr. G. Craw shay, jun., Mr. John Faulkener, Mr. G. Crawshay, Mr. J. Allen, Mr. C. Finch, M.D., and Mr. E. Eagleton, jun., was " to consider the communication addressed to the Court of Directors from the Government respecting the continuance of the powers of the company." Mr. Mangles, M.P., chairman of the board of directors, pre sided. There was a larger attendance of 1,0001. Stock proprietors than usual, but they were not so numerous as the importance of the subject led one to imagine. Nearly all the directors were present. The CHAIRMAN, before proceeding to the business, acquainted the meeting that the direction had communi cated with the Government relative to the future go vernment of India, but bad received no answer. J3efore the meeting -of Parliament the Directors intended to summon a court of proprietors to consider the question. Mr. LEWIN asked to; be informed the nature of the cerre7pondence, because it might materially affect the remarks to be made and the course to be pursued by those who had been the means of calling this meeting. He thought they (tight to know the opinion of the board. The CHAIRMAN said that it was unusual to do so. He assured the meeting that it was in favour of the company and directors. Mr. LEWIN repeated his question. He had no desire to see the India❑ Charter abolished—(hear, hear)—but he thought the conduct of the board of directors had mainly been Vac cause of the present movement. The CulinuAlN said that the meeting was called at the request of certain parties, and the directors wished to know their opinion. It was contrary to practice and propriety to zroduce the imperfect correspondence that had taken place between the Government and the board. The communization was not made through the secret alphabet. COLONEL RATHBOENE suggested it would be better to adjourn the meeting till the proposed directors' meet ing, when the correspondence could be laid before it, together with their opinion on the question. (Hear.) Mr. CIIAW2HA.W, jun. expressed his surprise at the proposed adjournment of the meeting. He admitted that he addressed them with an overwhelming sense of the danger that would result to the country in India being placed under the control of the Government. He considered that if India were placed under the direction of a Secretary of State, India would be soon lost. He thought it would be impossible to mislead the people of England into a belief that it would be better for India ; but unless they removed an opinion to that effect, that had been circulated of late in various einartere, he thought the company's existence would soon be at an end, and the experiment tried. The honourable gentleman referred to the origin of the charter, contending that the present Government of India had been miscalled an anomaly. He referred to the course pursued by many of the past great men— Hastings, Malcolm, and others—who had governed India, observing that the principles laid down by them were correet, and only required to be properly worked out. The officers of the company, both civil and mili tary, could not be surpassed by any of Her Majesty's servants (Hear, hear.) It was proposed to abolish the double government, which meant the destruction of the East India Company, whilst the Board of Control would be merely a sham death, and be merged in a Council for India, or some other form. (Hear, hear.) The Board of Control should be abolished, and'the power of theoompany possessed in thetime of Warren Hastings restored to it. The company had been plunged into wars by the Board of Control, which was established to prevent such calamities. Tney could not agree to the extinction of the company, unless they believed it would be beneficial to that country. If they did not stand up and struggle for the continuance of the charter, it would be abolished, for Parliament was never more corrupt than at present. (Hear). He concluded by moving that the proposed transfer to Government of the powers of the East India Company is opposed to the rights and pri vileges of the East India Company —is fraught with danger to the constitutional interests of England, is perilous to the safety of our Indian Empire, and calls for the resistance of the corporation by all constitutional means. (Loud cheers.) Mr. LEWIN seconded the motion. Mr. J. D. AIgiENIIIE opposed the motion. The present system of double government got rid of respon sibility. Their policy had been to conciliate the strong and oppress the weak. Justice could not be obtained in the courts of India by the poor man, from theexpen sive nature of the proceedings, which was used as one means of oppressing the poor arid .helpless. It was, therefore, necessary there should be a more extended European system adopted in India for the prosperity and happiness of the people. Mr, REMINOTON supported the motion. From a lengthened residence in India he was able to speak of the kindness and consideration shown by the English towards the native inhabitants of India. Calomel STIKES (director) felt assured, in expressing his own conviction? , he did that of his brother directors, when he s aid that if a change of Government could produce more material interest, improve the happiness and insure the comfort of the vast population of India he would submit to any pen' nal loss consequent on such a change. (Hear, hear) At present they had only a broad outline of the charge that was to be brought against them, and they were ignorant of the specific 'charges they would have to answer. He did riot stand there as the apologist of the Company, but as the advocate of truth. It had been stated iu many of tho leading journals that a new goverement would pro duce au increased development of the r esources o f th e .T ti h n a u t al m ly in ight cr b ed e as: o of , but th e resources under th e C om p an y. country India continually During the last thirty years the exports of produce had increased. In 1834-5 they amounted to 7,993,4201 , and had increased in 1855-6 to 23 ,039,2561. The imports in the same time had increased from 4,261,0001. to 13,476,0001., and upwards of 1 50,000,000/, s t er li ng had b n sent t the ) The men of Manches ter complained when cotton rose the gh ost o f a quar t e r eo that country. country,(a ear. which was i n c i rculat i on throughout of a farthing that cotton was not grown in India. Tbat was not the fault of the court of directors. The land did not belongto them, but to the peopleof that country. The company did not receive rent for the land, but only a land tax. If the people could gain by growing cotton instead of other produce they would do so, but they had no more right to compel the people of India to grow cotton for the people of Manchester, than the people of Ireland had to call on the English farmer during the late famine to grow potatoes for the Irish. (Hear, hear.) He approached the subject of the mutiny with sorrow, and they must not conceal from themselves thatif any blame attached to the directors it was that of oversight and not intention, from which none must shrink. The gallant officer proceeded to state that he was a member of the military committee. One million and a ! half of greased cartridges for India certainly passed through his hands, and he took blame to himself from not knowing that fact, because from his experience in India he was well aware that such a circumstance would have an extraordinary effect on the sepoys, who would cat a man's throat rather than do a thing by which he would lose caste. The cartridges were sent out and used for some time without the sepoys being aware of what grew. was used, an d i t was on l y owi ng to a remark m ade by one of the oth er t roops to a sepo y that would not give him water, on account of loosing caste, that he would soon loose caste in having to bite the cartridge. It was that that led to the mutiny—not being able to remove the impres s i on f rom t h e se poys' mind, that we wished to make th em l ose cas te. He denied that we had ever d ecr i e d our coun try in India. A b i ' ha P 's arriv ing at his station WAS announced by the sound of cannon. Chapels were being built all over the country. In Bombay, since 1836,1 the chapels had increased (from 42 to 71, in Madras there had been an increase of 12 chapels within late years, and in Bombay 11; and there were now about 460 mis sionaries in the country. With regard to the double government, he denied that any such existed. The Board of .Control was answerable for everything that was done in India. The despatebes for transmission to India from the India House were revised by the Board of Control, even t the extent of crossing the " et," and adding " th'a" to the dates in red ink. (Hear, hear, and laughter) There was no double Government. The Board of Control was answerable for all the annexations that bad been made, and every message that had been sent to India. All they now wanted was to get rid of the moral check th a t a t present existed. With !he patronage of the com p an y in the hands of au uepopuler Minister a n d a su b serv i en t House of Commons, it would prevent hi s remova l, an d set at defiance the constitution of the country. Believing it would be injurious to India, and ultimately destructive to the constitutional principles of this country, he supported the motion. (Hear, hear.) Mr. CRAWFORD addressed the meeting, in the course of which he said that the Affghan war had cost one-third to consider what sf their present debt, an d as ked them would be the result when India was left to the irrespon sible control of a minister ? Mr. LEwIN also addressed the meeting in support of the motion. He would rather retain the Company with all their faults than 40 evils they knew not of. (Hear.) The mutiny originated under persons appointed by the Crown, and arose out of the annexation of Oude by Lord Dalhousie. He condemned the appointment of Lord Clanricarde to the office of Lord Privy Seal, in consequence of his views on India, and, in passing, observed that the prevent House of Comnions was the most corrupt since the daysof Cromwell, there not being 30 independent members belonging to it. General 13Rmos having addressed the meeting, Mr. JONES moved the adjournment of the debate for a week. It was desirable to know the directors' opinion on the subject. The CHAIRMAN thought it better to adjourn to the directors' proposed day of meeting to consider the mo tion. He thought the resolution would require altera tion. At present they did not know the particulars of the Government scheme. Ultimately the meeting was adjourned till Wednesday next, the 20th. The CHAIRMAN referred to 'the remarks of Colonel Sykes relative to the greased cartridges, and denied that the Court as a body held the opinion as expressed by the gallant officer. A commission bad been sent to India to inquire into the outbreak. The Government of India had stated that none of those cartridges had been used. Colonel SYKES explained. He adhered to what he had said. The meeting then separated. Tin?, SUN, Litiii'D - ON, WEDNES DAY EVENING, JANUARY 13, 1858 H ER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

Since the atro cities of the mutineers a feeling must have arisen that Asiatics cannot be trusted as they have been. We believe, however, the distrust is groundless except so far as the dangerous classes indicated above are concerned. The ryots and other pea santry, poor fellows, desire nothing better than that we should locate ourselves among them, and find them employment, or purchase their produce for shipment. They want us there to open the coun try to commerce, to irrigate the land, and to create roads, canals, and rail ways. One of the most pressing necessities, therefore, we take to be a universal an d s t r i ng ent disarmment of the natives. On that condition alone will life, in India, be safe for us, and for the peaceable among themselves. 111) Erb baton SUN OFFICE, Si o'clock. MONEY MARKET eJD COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLocic. The Money Market continues very easy, and the expectation that the Bank directors will reduce the minimum to-morrow, tends to check the present demand. It is imagined that the next alteration, whether adopted at once, or a week hence, will not be more than 1 percent., but as the terms out of doors are already as low as 4 and 4i per cent., such a modification will not secure much discount business for the authorities, who shortly afterwards perhaps will find it convenient to make a further concession. At first it was imagined that the down ward movement would stop at 5 per cent., but now an unusually low rate is anticipated, many believing that money will become quite a drug in the market. Without pretending to say what quotation may be attained, it may be safely averred that nothing short of a sudden efflux of specie, or a rapid absorption of capital for the prosecution of fresh joint stock enterprise, can arrest the relaxa tion of the rates of interest. For the moment specie is pouring in from various quarters, and on a scale that must occasion a large accumulation in the Bank vaults, but if the continental exchanges continue to recede, and the Bank of France, as stated, is losing gold, some diversion of the Austra lian, and other supplies, may shortly take place, though not, perhaps, to such an extent as would trench very seriously upon our metallic reserves. A further addition of 175,0001. was made yester day to the Bank's stock of bullion. The Teviot has brought 200,1681. in Australian gold, the whole of which, it is expected, will be taken into the Bank. In the Silver Market there is no variation, bars being quoted ss. lid. per oz. standard. A further slight decline took place yesterday in the rates of exchange for bills drawn upon the principal cities of the Continent, but the movement was unimportant. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday exhi bited a very quiet appearance, and values of most descriptions were unaltered. The sales amounted to 4,000 bales, 500 of which were taken on specu lation and 500 for export. The Railway Share Market closed steadily, and the transactions were of a limited character. At the meeting of the members of the National Provident Institution held to-day, it was moved and carried that policies of members who* might die by suicide or duelling, should be held valid, pro vided they had been assured for four years pre viously. Although there has been scarcely any alteration in the English Stock Market it appears dull and heavy. Speculation is exceedingly quiet, and it seems as though the orkators required some new event upon which to continue their transactions. The amount of engagements already outstanding, however, is very large, and pending the meeting of Parliament, it is only naturll that there should be a little less activity and buoyancy. At the pre sent moment there is rather more firmness. Consols for money have been 941 1, and 94a 1 for account. The latter are now 94 2. The New Threes are 94 ; the Reduced, 94i New 2i per Cents, 78 ; and Bank Stock is 222.

Foreign Stocks are dull, a smaller business than usual having been done, and prices show no par ticular variation. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 97i 98; ditto 4 per Cents., 1041 ; Brazilian 4i per Cents., 952 ; Mexican 3 per Cents., 20k ; Peruvian 4i per Cents., 78 ; ditto 3. per Cents., 531 ; Spanish New Deferred 251 ; said Dutch 4 per Cents., 99.

In the Railway Share Market this morning business has been rather active, and prices have fluctuated about to 1 per cent. Caledonians, Brightons, and North British, declined " ss. ; South Eastern, and Chester and Holyhead, 105.; and East Lancashire 15s.

The Malta journals announce the death of Miss Catherine Lyons, aged 61, sister of Admiral Lord Lyons. The funeral was conducted as privately as possible,•the 01,11 .9 persons present being his lordship, Capt. the Hon. F. Egerton, of the Royal Albert (flag ship), and a few officers. _ On Friday last the death of the Earl of Winchelsea took place at Haverholm Priory, L•snia+hire. Tae deceased nublernan was in his sixty-seventh year. Owing t, the length of the Indian news we are cora pelled to omit our report of the courts of law at West minster. Nothing, however, of very great interest occurred during the morning. At the Westminster Police-court, this morning, a fashionably dressed man, who gave the name of Ross, was charged with robbing a gentleman named Lee of his watch. He was remanded. The Elgin Courier says that a son of Mr. C. Dickens has joined the 42d Highlanders• The 139ard of Works directed that a letter be sent to the City authorities calling their attention to the nuisances carried on in the vacant ground in New Far ingdon-street, Reinforcements are daily being scut off from Chatham for the army in India.
