The intelligence received from India and China, in anticipation of the Overl and Alai], is of very t r ifli ng political importance. Notwithstanding the sullen lethargy which has been evidenced by the population of Lahore, and the insubordinate conduct of the Seikh-Livarziors at Peshawur, in consequence of a defaleatioit moil their paymasters, there appears to z )e" lieu prOSPeF,f: of the maintenance of tranquillity ,under the new Government. Indeed, the only chance Clany revivalogdisturbance in the Punjaub is offered by the duplicity of the Raja of MOOLTAN. The - , armaments which had been dispatched from the , eapital with thp.intention of compelling that cheiftain icOiquidate tr- i very considerable amount still re maining due, appear to have been recaled, from the circumstance of 50,0001. being offered in compensation 1 for the delay of paymeut, A 3 the NAWAB ) however, TIIE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY MORNING, AUGUST 13, 1546, merely availed laimsel° of the truce consequent upon 1 these negotiations tri prepare himself for any emer gency, there see'rus to be every probability of a collision betwern his forces and the Anglo -Indian soldiery. Whether any serious consequences might not result from the development of such feelings of hostility -so soon after the new organization of these territories, unless those sentiments were immediately anil decisively suppressed, is a consideration of ex treme interest. Nervo and determination must be displayed on the inauguration of the new system, otherwise matters may rapidly fall into disorder, and the Government in its very youth evince signs of premature decrepitude. The Nawab of MOOLTAN is a wily and active prince, requiring alertness and reso lution on the part of his antagonist. His intellect is one of that supple character which, unless observed with the utmost vigilance, and thwarted with the utmost decision, might obtain an opportunity of re-asserting 1 his domination out of the very circumstances of his vassalage. In the East, as everywhere else, it must be—diamond cut diamond. Our readers will remember the terrible catas trophe of the 20th of May at Loodianah, when the temporary barracks of her MAJESTY'S .50th and the sepoy guard from the 73d Native Infantry, were destroyed by a hurricane. It cannot assuredly be forgotten that eighty-eight human beings perished on that occasion from the wilful negligence of those who had been deputed to superintend the safety and comfort of the different regiments, and that one hundred and fifty of the unfortunate men quartered in those ricketty buildings had been seriously mutilated by an accident which, with proper precaution, would never have occurred. We are deeply grieved to observe that another specimen of the pernicious consequence of this negli vnee of those in whom negligence is least excusable, has caused another calamity of a different nature and of less serious results numerically, though equally deplorable with the one already' mentioned. According to the information con tained in the Bombay Times, the victims of care- lessness in this instance appear to have been the wives and children of her MAJESTY'S 17th and 60th Regiments. On the departure of these troops from Sinde their families were left at Poenah, but hay ing subsequently received permission to join their husbands and fathers at Kurrachee, the latter imme diately hastened thither. During their journey these unhappy creatures were attacked with cholera, and this, be it particularly observe 1, in consequence of the execrable arrangements for their shelter and provision. Fifteen children and fifteen women perished out of a company of three hundred and forty-eight. These occurrences should be submitted to a rigid investigation by those authorised to Prevent their recurrence. Sepoys have already a sufficiently precarious tenure of existence to render it indifferent whether they may not be crushed to a mummy at every high wind; and the miseries of a soldier's wife on active service are in themselves punishment enough for the " perpetration of matrimony" to require any additional misfortunes from bad lodging, bad food, bad drink, or bad attend ance. Perhaps the most interesting intelligence received by this packet is that of the unconditional surrender of Kote Kangra, a fortress hitherto considered to be impregnable. Nothing could more strikingly have evinced the happy result of promptitude in warfare than the capitulation of this garrison. While it was vaunting its security, and treating the threats of the Government with derision, it was suddenly panic-stricken by the unexpected arrival of the Anglo-Indian troops before its embattlements with a formidable array of heavy artillery. The manoeuvre not merely awed the garrison into instant submission, but has aroused the astonishment of the northern inhabitants generally. The impression is, if possible, confirmed that English arms are invincible. Kote Kangra has re-evidenced the puissanee displayed at Sobraon. Gratified, however, as we must undoubtedly be at such signal assurances of the awe—the wholesome awe—inspired into our Asiatic subjects and the people of the neighbouring states by the valour of our brave soldiers, we cannot but be the more fully im pressed with the necessity that exists for consulting in every possible particular the happiness, the social comfort, the health and the moral welfare of those same instruments of our Eastern dominion. It should never be forgotten that our prosperity in that wonderful empire, which is surrounded byAsiatic Russia, Hindostan, China, and the Indian Ocean, is dependent solely upon the loyalty and subordination and courage of our armies. Considering this, and remembering .the deeds they have achieved from Seringapatam to Jellalabad, that their heart's blood has flowed freely on the battle-plains, and that their constitutions have been wasted in our service, let us, in the name of justice, in the name of gratitude, and in the name of policy, shield them from any unnecessary suffering, and preserve them from any superfluous dangers ! Hurricanes and con tagious diseases are unquestionably casualties which no human foresight can prevent. We grant that; but we do not grant that barracks must by necessity be built of cardboard, or of gingerbread, or of such flimsy materials as are subverted at the first change in the atmosphere ; nor can we perceive the obligation that exists of treating the wives and children of soldiers with little more tenderness than that evinced by GONERIL and REGAN. Better abolish all the trumpery of ribbons and medals, and build good barracks and resting-places of substantial brick. A discussion of considerable interest took place in the House of Lords on Tuesday, on the occasion of the presentation of a petition by Earl FORTESCUE, for the abolition of flogging in the arm v. The declaration of the Duke of WELLINGTON, who commands an influence far beyond that of mere official rank, is highly gratifying—viz., " that in consequence of the feeling of the Government, of Parliament, and of the public on it, he had taken upon himself greatly to diminish its severity, and he hoped that with that arrangement which may be made in fu ture in the alteration of the law it may be still fur ther diminished, so as to lead at last to its final dis continuance." We have here the direct admission of the universal detestation with which the horrible sys tem is regarded by persons of all ranks and condi tions throus,hout the nation. With the Government, the Parliament, and the public arrayed against it, their feelings strongly excited on the point, there would be little prospect of its being suffered much longer to remain the stigma, the disgrace of the British nation ; but we have also the intimation given by the only man who could, even for a time, resist that feeling, that " he hopes it may be still further diminished, so as . to lead to its final discontinuance." This is a cheering an nouncement for those who are conscientiously opposed to the practice, hut they must not on that account relax their exertions, or abandon the agitation they were about to commence. Already steps have been taken for the formation of a society to promote the abolition of flogging in the army and navy. Within one single week a meeting will be held at Exeter Hall for that purpose, and sincerely do we hope that on that occasion the friends of huma nity will not be wanting—that a demonstration so powerful will lib made as to convince those who still advocate the necessity of its continuance, that other and less objectionable means must be de vised for the preservation of military discipline. Much has of late years been done in mitigation of the grievance ; the number of lashes which can by any possibility be ordered, have been diminished from 1,200 or 1,500 to 200, and since the recent re gulation to 50. Has that regulation impaired the efficiency of the army, or made it more diffi cult to maintain the proper and necessary subor dination? Far from it; in proportion to the reduction of lashes, the discipline has been improved, the sol diers have been more orderly and better disposed. His Grace himself has borne his strongest testimony in that behalf ; he says—" I assure you that the troops are now, at this moment, daily in the per formance of services which you would not require— nay, I go further, and say that you could not have, from any other troops in the world." And again—" If any acecident happens, such as ship wreck, they act in the most admirable manner, and I find that they acquire the csnfidence of all." This conduct, so justly described by his Grace, must surely satisfy any unprejudiced and dis- PBlliOnlW 311414 that the prom ao eulogised are capable of being influenced by other and higher motives than those of fear. They have so distin guished themselves, not by reason of, but in despite of the lash. It is a universally admitted fact, that what are usually styled flogging regiments are in a worse state of organisation, in every respect inferior to those in which the cat has been suffered to fall into disuse. The commanding officers who have taken the lead in this humane experiment have at tained a degree of popularity in their respective re giments that has had the effect of inducing the men to do that from love which could not be produced by fear alone. In no instance has it been found that men have become worse in consequence of their being treated as men, and net degraded to the condition of brutes. How can you possibly hope for the maintenance of that high spirit of honour, the existence of which is so necessary in the army, essentially an honourable profession, if its members are subjected to such degradation? We may be pardoned for again quoting the opinions of Sir CHARLES NAPIER, as to the improved state of discipline consequent upon the de crease of corporal punishment. That gallant General says, " When I was a subaltern, the army was not in a high state of discipline, yet the punishments were extremely severe. Now the army is in a high state of discipline, and punishments are comparatively mild." And, speaking of the present state of the army he says, "It is difficult to imagine an army that has not seen services to be in a more perfect state of discipline, as far as the private soldiers are considered." This is evidence that cannot be impeached or underrated, The Gallant Officer then draws a picture of what punishment was, contrasted with what it now is : "That he then frequently saw 600, 700, 800, 900, and 1,000, sentenced by regimental courts-martial, and generally every lash inflicted ; the unhappy victim of such barbarous work brought out from hospital three or four times to receive the remainder of his punishment, too severe to be borne without danger of death, at one flogging, and sometimes the prolonged torture applied, for the avowed purpose of adding to its severity." Let the same witness answer to its effects :—" Yet, with all the above stated severity (may I not say ferocity?) of discipline, I have proved that the army was then in an inferior state to what it is now. And if it be asked why, with such severe punishments to restrain crime, was not the army in a higher state of discipline ? I answer, because every soldier who beheld such bloody execu tions lost sight of the criminal, and beheld only a martyr in the flogged man. The cool reason of every man of sense condemned the cruelty, and crime lost its shame, when over-severity of punishment turned the criminals into heroes." Again, we find the following :—" A dreadful flogging, disproportioned to the crime resolutely borne, sends more men away with their courage whetted, to irritate the culprit, than struck with fear of being placed in his situation. The law becomes judged, condemned, and defied as an enemy. If the poor culprit sends forth screams of agony, if he faint, he is an object of pity, perhaps of contempt—a poor devil that it is a sin to cut up; snd a sin, in such cases as I have stated, no doubt it is. The man of reflection needs no other proof of the inefficiency of the excess of punishment as it then stood than those I have given. It was cruel and it was not e f fectual." Again—" When punishments are slight, their effect is powerfully added to by the hearty concurrence evinced by the public in their justice—the culprit finds no cornn-4isseraticm. If pu nishments are over severe, the culprit is sustained by public pity, and the violence of his punishment is thus mitigated, even though the public think him justly condemned." We cannot apologise for the length at which we have quoted from this admirable work. Every opinion expressed therein carries with it a conviction to the mind of the sincerity of the writer, of the justice and accuracy of the views he has put forth. Now that the public feeling is so strongly excited on the topic, we cannot render better service than by putting prominently forward the deliberate opinions of a man like Sir CHARLES NAPIER. There is not a single page of his work on military law and flogging from the perusal of which it would be possible to rise without new reasons being forced on the mind why the revolting practice should be altogether abolished. They are not new opinions taken up by him to suit the present occasion ; they have grown with his growth and strengthened with his strength. Forty years of service in all parts of the world, during which he has gained immortal honours for himself, and attained the highest glory ; where his services in every station, whether as subaltern or commander, were such as to entitle him to the laurels he has received, the fame he has won, have only confirmed the impressions originally inculcated by his renowned father, a father worthy of such a hero, and the father of heroes, and who oftentimes stated to his son, " that flogging was an inhuman, and, in peace, an unnecessary punishment, injurious to those honourable feelings that he justly held to be the great principle by which troops should be mainly governed ;" and who, of course, thought, with such feelings, " that flogging ought to be abolished." A letter from Kiel, of the 4th of August, says : " The congress of German lawyers which was to have met at Kiel on the 6th of this month, but the meeting of which has been forbidden by the Danish Government, will be held in the island of Heligoland, which since 1815 has belonged to England. The congress will be opened on the 14th of this month, and proceed to deliberate on the measures to be adopted in order to secure in all the states of Ger many the establishment of the public and oral examina tion of witnesses in all judicial proceedings, and trial by jury in all criminal cases." Letters from Rome state that the POPE has dis patched Monsignore CoanoL! Bussi to Bologna, with orders to dismiss the 400 Swiss in garrison there. These men, who were engaged for twenty years, will be paid an indemnity. The laws of Rome re quire that none but Roman Catholics should serve in the Swiss guards, and as more thanone-half of those at present serving in the Roman territory are Pro testants, it is said that the POPE will take advantage of that circumstance to diminish the difficulties in the way of annulling the treaty with the Helvetic Con federation. The deputation of Jews which went up to congra tulate the POPE on his accession, was well received. His HOLINESS, on the loth ult., issued an ordonnance permitting Jews in distress to share in the alms dis tributed by his orders. Madrid journals of the sth have arrived. Great preparations were making at La Granja for the re ception of her MAJESTY. It was rumoured in Madrid that differences had occurred in the Cabinet between the Minister of Justice and his colleagues, in conse quence of his having taken upon himself, without con sulting them, to decree the suppression of the Com mittee charged with preparing the new code. According to the Espanol, M. MoN has dispatched the Directur-General of the Sinking Fund to Lon don, on a financial mission. The following royal ordonnance, modifying the import duties on cotton goods, has just been promul gated : "Art. 1. Cotton from foreign ports and colonies, which are not places of the production, will continue to pay the present duty. "2. Cotton coming direct from the foreign parts where it is produced, will pay a customs duty of 5 per cent. on the valuation of 256 reals the quintal. "3. If a vessel arriving at the Havannah, or at Puerto Rico, demand the depot of their cargo without discharging, it shall be granted, on paying a duty of 1 per cent., and the same amount on leaving, and a duty of 3 per cent. at the port of its destination. "4. Cotton coming from the Spanish colonies, and of Spanish production, will continue to pay the present duty. "5. The preceding provisions only relate to cotton im ported in Spanish bottoms; cotton in foreign vessels will continue to pay the duties hitherto levied." MARTI), BOLSA, Aug. s.—The Three per Cents. were done at 33% for c as h, t h e Fi ve per C ents. at 23 , th e F our per Cents. at 21%, th e Debt without Interest at 6%, and the Coupons at 20. We have received the Paris papers of Monday. The Journal des Del ts says— On Monday next the Chamber of Peers and the new Chamber of Deputies will be opened for the short session, in which the latter will proceed to the verification of the quali fication of its members, and to the formation of its bureaux. It is said that the King will open this session in person, and that his Majesty will confine himself to expressing in a few words his satisfaction at seeing &Ambled around him the representatives of the nation. The Chambers will reply by an address to the words of the King, and, after the verifica tion of qualifications, the nomination of the presidents, of the vice-presidents, the secretaries, and the questors, the session will be prorogued to the usual period, the end of De cember or the beginning of January. It is at that time that the usual opening speech will be made. It is thought that the preparatory session, which will open on the 17th instant, will not continue beyond the beginning of September." The Presse estimates the Conservative majority in the new Chamber at 124, the Debats at 107. The following statistics of the new Chamber may be found not uninteresting : " New writs must be issued, when the Chamber meets, for five colleges in which there have been double returns, but it is more than probable that in all these cases members will be nominated of the same opinions as those called on to re4gn one of their seats. The double returns alluded to are, on the Conservative side, those of M. de Salvandy fur Evreux and. Lectour ; and, on the Opposition side, of M. G. de Beaumont, for :flamers and Saint Calais; General de Thiars, for Chalons and Lannion ; M. Paillet, for Château-Thierry and La Ro chelle ; and M. Berger, for Thiars and the second Arrondisse ment of Paris. The number of new Deputies amounts to 117, of whom 84 are Conservative and 33 Oppositionists. The number of Conservatives who sat in the late Chamber, and have not been re-elected in 1846, is 57; and that of the Opposition Deputies in the same case, 60. Out of these 57 Conserva tives not re-elected, 24 did not stand at the late election; out of the 33 offers, 20 were replaced by Conservatives, and 13 ousted by the Opposition. Out of the 60 Opposi sition Deputies not re-elected, 16 did not come forward; whilst out of the 44 remaining, 7 .m were replaced by gen tlemen of their own political onions, and 37 thrown out by Conservatives. We have in a former article al luded to the discomfiture of the Legitimatist party; it will therefore be sufficient at present merely to state, in addi tion, that they have lost 17 seats arid gained 6, leaving a difference of 11 against them, or about half their number in the Chamber. The public press has found particular favour at the late election, and will be more fully repro • sented in the new Chamber than on any occasion since 1789. Independently of the great number of Deputies ' known to write in periodicals, we find six jou'nalists be losging to the Paris press elected, viz., M. E. de Girar din, of the Presse; M. Leon Faucher and N. Chambolle, of the Siecle; M. Louis Reynaud, of the Cburrier Francais; the Abbe de Genoude, of the Gazette de France; and M. C. Leseeps, of the Commerce. Two other well known members of the Paris press stood. but have been thrown out, viz., M. Michel Chevalier, the able writer of articles on political eco nomy in the Debats, and M. Cuvillier Fleury, a contributor to the same journal. As the principle of free trade at pre sent excites so much attention, we cannot better conclude this sketch than by stating that the principal libre- echan gzstes, or supporters of that doctrine. in the new Chamber, are MM. Theodore Ducos, Clappier, Lherbette, De Lamar ' tine, Blanqui, Leon Faucher, and Reybaud; while against it are, in the Left Centre, 111. Thiers ; in the Centre, M. Dar , blay ;in the Extreme Left, M. Marie; and on the Minis terial bench, 111. Cunin Gridaine, Minister of Commerce. The elections for Corsica, which are expected to be both in favour of Ministers, will take place on the Bth, and the new Chamber will meet on the 17th." It is probable that before the Chamber meets Mar shal Souvr will have retired from the Presideney of the Minstry. On the subject of his successor we find the following in the Portefeuille "We have announced that M. Guizot had proposed the Duke de Broglie to his Majesty as the successor of Marshal Soult as President of the Council of Ministers. We can now add that the choice of the Duke de Broglie has met the ap probation of all the members of the Cabinet. The question is, however, will the Duke de Broglie accept the offer?" The general opinion appears to be that the Duke DE BROGLIE will not accept office, and in that case the Presidency of the Ministry will be conferred on M. AMERICAN NEWS. EXPRESS FROM LIVERPOOL. ARRIVAL OF TtIE CAMBRIA. (FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.) LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY, FIALF-PAST FOUR. The steam-ship Cambria, Captain Judkins, after a passage of ten days sixteen hours, arrived here this afternoon, bringing eighty-four passengers, the Canadian and United States mails, and papers fifteen days later than those brought by the Fid ! .tlia. The Hibernia, which sailed from Liverpool on the 19th ult., reached Boston on the Ist., in a twelve and-a-half-days' passage; and the Great Britain arrived at New York in thirteen and a half days. The Cambria brings intelligence of the passing of the Tariff Bills by a majority of One. Perhaps the most important item of news brought by the Cambria is the passage in the Senate of the new Tariff Bill, brought forward by the present Ad ministration, reducing very materially the Whig tariff of 1842. The manufacturers of New England, and the mining and smelting districts of Penn sylvania, made strenuous efforts to defeat the measure, awl, inked, all but succeeded in so doing, as the Bill became the law by the casting vote of Vice-President Dallas, who is himself returned by a district of Pennsylvania very inimical to low duties upon iron or coal. As usual, on any stirring question, a considerable debating took place, and the speeches both for and against were long and numerous. Mr. Webster spoke at great length against the Bill, and the question was taken on the 28th, and the measure was carried by the casting vote of Mr. Dallas, amended only by striking out a section from the form which had received the sanction of the Re presentatives. The Lower House subsequently con curred in the amendment, so that the Bill was at last passed. Mr. Haywood, from North Carolina, re signed his seat, in order not to be compelled to vote in favour of the measure. The Warehousing Bill had not passed the House of Representatives when the steamer left, but would do so in all probability. It provides for the ware housing of all goads under similar regulations which govern the British Customs, except that the period of bonding is limited to a year. The news from Mexico is not important. At the last account from the city of Mexico, Paredes was still there, though it was still stated he was to take command of the army. It seemed to be the general impression that the Mexican Govern ment intended to make another struggle against their invaders, though from inward troubles, disor ganisation, and want of funds, it was difficult to believe it would meet with success. Several small affairs had taken place near Vera Cruz, between the troops along the shore and the ships assembled in the Gulf, but nothing worthy of notice had occurred. No attempt was to be male against St. Juan Dulloa, the general impression being, that sufficient benefit would not accrue from its capture to com pensate for the certain loss iti attack would cause. Business in the Atlantic Cities continued very dull, the principal business people being rusticating, owing to the intens3ly hot weather. Exchange at New York on Engl.:nd, 7 a 71 pm. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. 1 (From The Sun of Last Night.) The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 3,C00 bales, including 2,000 American at :Mid. to 5%d. The market was quiet; and, compared with Friday's rates, American Cottons at and under 4Ad. were easier to buy. Other kinds are unchanged. It appears by letters received by the last West India mail from the Anglo-Mexican Mines (one of the many companies started in 1824 and 1825, the bulk of which has long gone to the 0 tomb of all the Capulets"), that this concern is in steadenif not very prolific, activity. From a report of the pro ceedings of the Company now before us, we find that in the year ending the 30th of June last the directors here had paid off 8,316/. of the additional capital borrowed to keep up the mines in the Company's lands in Mexico, and that there is a balance in the bankers' hands of 2,1701. 3s. The agent of the company, Mr. Brough, has recently made a good remittance on general account. It is satisfactory to find, after the " thousand and one" failures in mining enterprise, the money to conduct which was raised in England, that one of them at least, is in a healthy state. The agent named, in hie dispatch of the Asuncion mine, remarks a considerable improvement in it, consequent on the introduction of Bus cones (who take a certa'n share of ores raised in lieu of wages), the result of which had been, that for a period of four weeks there bad been a profit of 8,003 dollars. Some of the other mines of the company are well spoken of in the pre sent advises. A general meeting of the Shipowners' Society was held this morning at the Hall of Commerce, to receive a report from the general committee relative to its transactions for the past year. The report read was a volumineus document. The concluding paragraph of this document is rather interest ing. It states that— " It is consolatory to have observed that in reply to a question from the late Chang elior of the Exchequer, Lord John Russell, in a recent discu , sion on the sugar duties, de clared that he did not propose in any respect to alter the existing navigation laws.' Still, in the signs of the times, your Committee perceive abundant reason for shipowners to be prepared to defend their position—that justice which by Sir Robert Peel was promised to the agriculturists on the repeal of the corn-laws, and by Lord John Russell to the colonists on the alteration of the sugar duties—namely, that freedom of production shall at least go hand in band with freedom of competition. In the maintenance of this demand they feel that they may with confidence appeal to shipowners throughout the country, whatever differences of opinion they may entertain on the controverted questions of free trade and protection. The struggle on these questions has unfortunately produced many and most injurious schisms. But your Committee can perceive no reason why the shipping interest should not new re-unite on the common ground of defence of a general interest on principles common to all. They ask, therefore, the renewal of co operation on the part of those who, during recent contests, have dissented from the course they have considered it their duty to pursue, inviting them to join the society in the endeavour to free maritime commerce from injurious and vexation restraints—to relieve it from unne cessary and burdensomecharges—and thus to enable it the better to sustain the competition to which it is already exposed ; while by confiding to the Legislature the decision of princi • pies of policy, but inflexibly maintaining that of protection from the State, proportioned to disqualification imposed by the State, they will violate no equity, advance no selfish claim, and leave in unrestrained exercise the differing opi nions of those who are engaged in one common and most im portant branch of British national ceiemerce." There are at present exhibiting some very splendid speci mens of Gobelin tapestry, manufactured, as the announce ment of the selling brokers states, expressly for the late Duke of Orleans, and considered to be a magnificent sample of this famed branch of foreign industry. The sale to-morrow, by Wilkinson and Jewesbury, at the Hall of Commerce, will also include many other articles of French manufacture, which the enterprising importers are anxious to have introduced to general consumption. The Funds are fluctuating, and scarcely realise the pre vious quotations, Consols being 95 1 2 3 / 1 for present transfer, and 953 i for Account. Exchequer-bills are quoted 4s. to 7s. premium. Bank Stock is marked 208 1 4 to 209 1 1 1 . The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 97% to 97%. Money is a ill rather scarce, but Exchequer-bills are de pressed, chiefly by the sales on railway deposit account. The Foreign Stock Market is rather flatter than yester day. Spanish Five per Cents. realise 25 3 4, and the Three per Cents. 36%. Mexican have dropped to 23 3 / 4 . Brazil Bonds are 88% for the Small; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been quoted 59 1 / 4 to 59%. Shares are still "in the shade." The better class of Scrip and Stock would undoubtedly rally, but for the apprehen sion respecting " calls." Many parties think that these will, after all, not exceed the annual surplus income of the country. ONE CLOSING O'CLOCK. PRICES. Bank Stock .. 208!‘; 209 k 208 1 4 208 1 4 Three per Cent.

Dispatches have been received from Captain BE RARD, of the Rhin, dated from St. Helena, in which he states that he had visited the French colony at Akawa, in New Zealand, and found everthing tran quil. Captain BERARD adds, that he had received from the Governor of New Zealand an assurance that arrangements had been made between the Eng lish Government and the Nanto-Bordelaise Company respecting this colony. "We have received," says the Constitutionnel, "some details of an unsatisfactory nature relative to our squadron on the western coast of Africa. Before the departure of the vessels, some of the captains having complained of the quality of the provisions furnished to them, Captain BouET, Chief of the Staff of the Division, made a general inspection, and found that the biscuit, among other things, was in a bad state. He declared that it was necessary to change it, but a small portion only of the damaged part was re placed, and it has since been necessary to throw the remainder into the sea, and without the means 01 getting another supply - , as none is to be procured al Senegal. Some months since two cargoes of sup. plies were sent to Rear-Admiral MONTAUNIES bE LA.. ROQUE, but they did not all arrive in good condition, which is partly attributed to the great heat expe- rienced in France. However well-founded this ex cuse may be, our seamen are either short of provi sions, or are compelled to live in a manner which may prove prejudicial to their health. There are already a great number of sick in the squadron, the greater part of whom are to be sent to Europe." Bayonne was visited on the 3d by a violent thun der-storm, which, in a few minutes, completely destroyed most of the gardens, the branches of trees falling as if cut through by a hatchet. Windows were broken in all directions. Some of the hailstones were as large as hens' eggs, angular and pointed like stalactites.

SHIPWRECK OF AN AMERICAN INDIAMAN.—By let ters received on Monday another dreadful loss is announced to have happened on the rocks called the Black Ledge, three miles westward of the Seal Island., and within 200 yards of the spot where the Columbia steam-ship was wrecked a short time since. The vessel that met with the misfortune was the William Abrams, a fine ship, 600 tons burden, from Boston to Calcutta. It occurred on the morn ing of the 3d of last month, at about two o'clock, and within an hour after she had struck the ship heeled over on her broadside and quickly went to pieces, the crew saving them selves by floating ashore on the spars and portions of her rigging. There cannot be a doubt that her loss arose from the same circumstance as that of the Columbia, viz., the rapidity of the currents off the Seal Islands. It was the belief of the master of the William Abrams that when she struck she was forty miles from the islands ; she had not, however, taken observation for four days previous, in conse quence of the continuance of foggy weather. The ship was insured for 12,0001. Sir George Ilayter, principal painter of history in or dinary to her Majesty, is at present at Interlacken, en route to Italy, where he has been recommended to pass some time, in the hope of re-establishing his health. Sir George, it will be recollected, suffered severely from a railway accident last year. REPRESENTATION OF STOCKPORT.—A requisition to Mr. Cobden is now in course of preparation in Stockport. re questing him to continue as one of the Members for the bo rough, in the event of an election. The idea seems to have been started in consequence of the requisition to Mr. Cobden, to the same effect, emanating from Manchester. A dreadful accident occurred on Tuesday evening, at half-past six o'clock, at the terminus of the South Western Railway. A plate-layer, J a mes Begally, of Woking, ran down the line to be in the time to go by the half-past six o'clock train to Woking, when the Mercury engin* backing. the tender knocked him down, and the wheels passing over Esq., the bar his body, completely cut him in t wo.

CAUTION TO PAWNBROKERS. two the County Magis trates' office, Rochester, on Monday, two cases of some im portance to pawnbrokers occupied the attention of the court for a considerable time, in which Mr. Clift and Mr. Friar, pawnbrokers at Chatham, appeared as defendants. The charges against them were for taking three-halfpence in terest, being one farthing more than they were entitled to, whereby they had rendered themselves liable to a penalty not exceeding 101., nor less than 405. The defendants were convicted in a penalty of 51. each, and gave notice of an appeal to the sessions. Two more cases will be brought before the bench at their next sitting.

FROM THE ARMY. The steamship James L. Day, Captain Griffin, ar rived at New Orleans on the 18th instant, from Brazos Santiago, which place she left on the 15th. The news is four days later and of considerable inte rest, and especially as the announcement that a deputa tion from the British navy arrived at Fort Polk upon business with General Taylor, calculated to excite curio sity and speculation. The troops were being sent for ward as fast as the means of transportation and the high water would allow. The Andrew Jackson regi ment left for Reynosa on the 9th instant, and Colonel Davis moved up the river on the 10th instant. An article in the American Flag, of the 10th instant, informs us that broils occasionally break out bAween the volun teers and the Mexicans, resulting in chath. That paper states that General Taylor uses every exertion to pre vent pers< ns attached to the army from disturbing the ns of Matamoras. The Mexican authorities are urged to use more at tention in keeping their citizens in order, and dispersing ti-!em when engaged in riotous proceedings. Some of Canales' men are supposed to be lurking abont Mats 'noras for purposes of rapioe and murder. A young American soldier was found near the office of the American Flag on the 9th instant with his throat dreadfully cut, and his heart pierced with several dangerous wounds ; the murderer has not yet been dis covered. The Rio Grande was still ris , ng on the 10th. In several places about Matamoros it had overflowed its banks. FOURTH OF JULY IN MEXICO. Advices from New Orleans to the evening of the 15th have been received at Washington, with letters from Alatamoras of July 3 and 5. General Taylor announced to two of the regiments on the 4th, that in a few days he would have boats to tran •port them to Camargo, whence he would put them directly in motion for Monterey, and if they g.t no fight before the summer closed, it would not be his fault. The papers of Texas and Matamoras are full of de , ails of the celebration of the 4tb. The rains were holding up. Some sickness prevailed. mostly bowel complaints. The measles had appeared in Mark's regiment, and seve ral men were down with the complaint. Mr. D. E. Gray had arrived in Reynosa from the upper country, by way of Monterey, and reported the Mexicans full of apathy to the war. Five hundred Mexican volunteers at Monclova, had refused to serve on hearing of Taylor's victories. Some disaffection among the Louisiana volunteers had appeared, but it would be settled, having been referred to General Smith. The wounded and sick were doing well at Fort Polk. Accounts from the Army, dated at Matamoras, July 8, and at Point Isabel, July 11, have come forward by mail, having been received at New Orleans on the 15th, per steamer New York. Letters from Reynosa had been received as late as the. 30th June. We are in debted to the editors of the New Orleans Picayune for an extra, containing their correspondence, which has been anticipated in part by the telegraph. General Taylor had ten steamers at Matamoras, with which to move his rapidly increasing forces up the river, on the way to Monterey, via Reynosa, and , which was being accomplished as rapidly as possible. The United States revenue cutter Forward, the schooner Flirt, and the British brig of war Rose were off Point Isabel. The Empressario, aground on the bar, had been got off. The 4th of July was duly celebrated at all the encampments. Considerable alarm prevailed among the Mexicans, in consequence of the discharges of artillery in the morning. Many of them fled from their houses, but returned on learning the cause of the " great skare." Corporal Mervin, a Leuisiana volunteer, was accidentally killed on the 4th, hy the rebound of a line attached to the steamer Aid. Another paper, the Ameri can Flag, has been established at Matamoras. The Reville is now printed exclusively in Evglish. The 7th Infantry moved up to Camarago on the 6th instant. Captain M`Cullough's Rangers whilst out on a scout in the vicinity of Reynosa, capturred three of the party who were engaged in the Rodger's messacre on the Sul Colorado some two months ago. One of the three ma naged to escape, but the other two are in safe keeping at Reynosa. They will be sent down to Gen. Taylor the first opportunity. A ball having been given at Monterey to General Arista's retreating forces, among those who offered their hands for a waltz with the Mexican ladies, were some of the fellows who had danced so nimbly to a different tune at the Resaca. The answer of the ladies was noble, and at the same time cutting to a degree :—" We do not dance with our own sex 1" Matamoras wears the appearance of a faubourg of New Orleans, and partakes of some of its characteristics, numerous dis graceful scenes having occurred on the night preceding the fourth. Five or six Mexicans are said to have been killed by drunken brawlers, Texien camp followers. General Henderson, of Texas, was recovering from a severe attack of illness from which he had suffered. Colonel Lewis P. Cook had also been very ill, and it was at one time reported that he was dead. He was convalescent at last accounts. The steamer New York brought as passengers Colonel M'lntosh and son, Lieutenant Bibb, Lieutenant Power, and Lieutenant Lown, Twenty discharged soldiers also came over in her. Colonel M'lntosh has re coyered r ip a s s great measure from his wounds. Gene ral Taylo h issued the following : Head Quarters, Army of Occupation, No. 59. M a tamoras, July 3, 1846. Sir,—lt has been brought to my notice that an omis sion occurred in my detailed ropert of the . action of the 9th, which I beg leave to supply immediate y after the mention of Lieut.
