'REGISTERED PALETOT of LLAMA CLOTH, 6 and 7 Victoria, cap. 65. patronised by the Prince Consort, Prince George of Cambridge, the 'Duke of Wellington, and the following distinguished visitors to this cc t, unt rY :—The Emperor of Russia, the King of Pruss ia, the Kin g of ''. B e lgium, the ging of Saxony, the King of Holland, Prince William t)f . Prussia, and further honoured by the continued patronage of all who seek an unaffected gentlemanly appearance. The cloth is Znade of Llama Wool, a fabric most agreeably soft and elastic to the Mach, and is one-third the weight of ordinary woollen clothes, but it corresponds in shades of colour. It is very durable, and naturally a •rspellent of rain, yet so porous as to admit of a due escape of exces sive bodily heat. These advantages, with the very moderate price charged, renders the Registered Paletot worthy the atteniion of all. They can be purchased In London, of the Patentees only, at their Warerooms, 114, Regent-street, and 22, Cornhill, THE Public is respectfully cautioned that H. J. and D. NICOLL, Court Tailors, have never granted the Li cence to any other house in London of making and selling the LLAMA CLOTH REGISTERED PALETOT. The celebrity so -lustlY earned by this light water-proot and gentlema nl y overcoat has induced many otherwise respectable tradesmen to assume a simi larity of name, but in that only can it resemble the".true Paletot. It has been deemed advisable to state that vie registered Paletot of Llama Cloth can only be purchased of the Patentees, in London, viz., R., J., and D. .4 ICOLL, 113, Regent-street, or their New Wareroorns, Cornhlll, opposite the south entrance of the Royal Exchange, and one door from Change-alley.

In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we should know the simple principles of our own organization, the laws whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy states depend, the duties that are expected of its in our individual capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely. By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted, health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness within the attainment of all; by the availment hereof in fulfilling our duty to ourselves, we secure the like advantages on our offspring to follow, and finally by the cultivation of our faculties, which is in conAstent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest of God's creations. The author's justification for this seeming eulogy of his own writ ings, and the avowal of their integrity of purpose, must be measured by their perusal—his accredited qualifications guarantee that the topics broached involve his legitimate study and pursuit.

We are indebted for the following to the Times and Herald:— Our Extraordinary Express, in anticipation of the Indian Mail of the 12th. of May, brings no news of striking interest. The principal point of intelligence relates to the iroceedings of the Lahore Government, which, on the occasion of a slight disturbance, gave strong proofs of its resolution to put down all attempts at revolt. A British sentinel, in endeavouring to pre vent a drove of cattle from entering a street crowded with baggage, wounded a cow in the nose. The cow being a sacred animal in the eyes of the Seilths, a dis turbance was caused ; the shops and houses of the neighbouring streets were closed, and the superstitious zealots, getting on the tops of the houses, threw stones and other missiles on the British officers and the soldiers who sought to appease the tumult. The Lahore autho rities soon brought about tranquillity, apologised to the British residents and to the officers, seized some of the ringleaders, and hanged one or two Brahmins on the following day. This bold act is looked upon as affording some promise of a strong Government. The Ranee, or Queen-Mother, has latterly been dangerously ill,in consequence of having had a miscarriage. Ghoolab Singh is employed in settling his newly-acquired domi nions, in arranging the frontiers, and in collecting as much money as he can. There was a rumour afloat that Lall Singh, the Ranee's paramour and Wuzeer, in tends to give up Peshawur to the Affghans, under the command of the notorious Akbar Khan ; but nothing, is positively known on the subject. A sensation has been produced by the daring con duct of the Governor of a small fortress near the river Beas, called Kote Kungria, who has refused to give it up either to the Lahore agents or to the British. Relying on the strength of his position be has defied both, and insulted their messengers by blackening the face of the British agent, and turn• ing them both out with ignominy. A force under Brigadier Wheeler was sent from Loodianah to compel this doughty champion to surrender his fortress. Comments were going the rounds of the newspapers on the proceedings of some officers at the late battles. A Colonel in her Majesty's service, commanding a brigade, had ordered her Majesty's 62d Regiment to retire, when the General directing the division had ordered an advance. An inquiry was established, the Brigadier was blamed, and the General of division complimented— but still dissatisfaction exists. A Court-martial was holding at Lahore on Captain Cecil, of the 11 th Regi ment of Native Infantry, for having been absent from his post at Ferozeshah. Yet accusations are made against a Brigadier, of having been so drunk at another battle as to be incapable of leading his men into action. Those accusations are described as being substantiated by eleven officers of the corps. It cannot but be useful to have these matters elucidated and set at rest before the next campaign opens at the close of the year. Every exertion appears to be made by the British authorities at Lahore to keep good order in that capital between the inhabitants and their troops. A large number of guns bad been discovered within the walls, of which due care is now taken. The British have also established an hospital for the treatment of the Seikh soldiers wounded in the late battles, who were left by their own Government to suffer in wretchedness and misery. Sinde is described as quite tranquil. Sir Charles Napier was at Kurrachee in good health. An ex pectation prevailed there of the impossibility to avoid another collision with the Seikhs at the close of 1846 ; the Sinde force was kept on the alert. Tho Affghans under Akbar Khan were busy at Jellalabad in an intrigue, which has for its object the acquisition of Peshawur. The hot season prevented all open acts ; and the rain will keep the plotters quiet for some months more. The wretched state of the Nizana's dominions may he learned from one fact—that there are several private The Governor-General and the Commander-in-Chief remained at Simla, which was thronged with officers re covering from their wounds. The cholera was ravaging various districts ; and the want of good water was greatly felt. Amongst the deaths in the Bombay presidency we have to mention that of Mr. John Gordon, collector at Surat, who died there after a short illness on the 2d May. He is much regretted. The cumulation of offices on one individual was never so signally exemplified at Bombay as in the following instance, by the Chief Justice, Sir Henry Roper. His relative, a young gentleman from Canada, was two or three years ago appointed to be Judge's Clerk, Commissioner fur taking Affidavits, and Sealer. In addition to these offices, which are sufficient to occupy one man's time, the Chief Jus tice has appointed him to the following important offices in the Supreme Court —viz., Registrar in Equity ; Admiralty Registrar ; Prothonotary; 'Clerk of the Papers ; Reading . Clerk ; Clerk of the De positions on the Plea side ; Keeper of the Records and Muniments ; Registrar in the Vice-Admiralty Court ; and Receiver of the Droits of the Admiralty. This dozen of employments heaped on one individual, to the prejudice of many excellent practitioners in the Supreme Court, has given rise to many comments. It was even said that the attorneys and solicitors of the Court were preparing to petition against the proceeding, as the " fortunate youth" was not acquainted with the first principles of law, and not belonging to the profes .ion, and yet having every day to draw up most im portant documents. The attention of the Board of Con trol ought to be called to this subject of grievous complaint. (From the Overland Bombay Times,May 12.) SUMMARY. The day for the dispatch of the present mail has been hastened since our last. We have another overland packet to-morrow week—leaving India ten days earlier than uitial, to provide against the delay betwixt this and Aden, occasioned by the approach of the south west monsoon. The dispatches which quit our shores within a week of each other will arrive at home at least a fortnight apart. The same general state of tranquillity prevails throughout India as has prevailed since we crossed the Sutlej. There has been a slight disturbance •Lt Lahore, in consequence of a sentinel set to prevent admission to a street crowded with baggage having slightly wounded a cow, the leader of a drove, while endeavouring to make their way in by force. A disturbance ensued, in which one man is said to have lost his life ; a number were consider ably injured ; but in this there was really nothing unusual or more alarming than in scores of other petty tumults constantly occurring in large cities in all parts of India, and in many on the continent of Europe. Two small forts near our frontier still hold out. One is of unusual strength, and the language em ployed towards us by its commander iv that of con temptuous insolence. A force of above 6,000 men has been sent out against it, and its reduction will probably be the work of a few days. The Ranee has been alarm. ingly ill at Lahore, in consequence of having resorted to violent means, it is said, to produce an abortion. The wkole - country of the Five Rivers is wonderfully tranquil. What progress in the formsition of a " strong Government" has been made by the Seikhs does not yet appear. Sinde is tranquil, and the troops are healthy. The fact that no fewer than seventeen thousand men are still requisite for its maintenance, three years after the "last shot" was affirmed to have been fired, seems sin gular. The heats of May are this season much more endurable than in the average of ordinary years, though the scarcity of water and food are sources of much suffering. THE PENJAUB. There have been one or two little incidents connected with the current events in the Punjaub, and a good many disclo sures in reference to those just passed, which tend a little to relieve the uninterrupted dulness and monotony of our tidings from the late seat of war. In the main matters have proceeded quietly, the troops feeling as secure and unmolested as in the oldest established of our cantonments. A native hospital bad most considerately been established by us for the benefit of the Seikhs ; the men wounded in the battles, many of whom were lying in piteous plight about the city, being those most likely to derive advantage from it. The Queen -Mother has been dangerously ill ; her life having been brought into danger by an attempt., it is said, to produce an abortion. The weather was poculiarly agreeable; the sooth sayers affirmed it had been s o arranged t 4 suit the constitu tions of Europeans, who were under the, charge of the Al mighty. General Littler had unremit ting and praiseworthy vigilance in endeavouring to prevent exereis, the most collision betwixt the Seikhs and our people; he was naturally 4I Kid properly aigreileluive pf W, 7 . f thOge haphazard mu' THE LAST WEEK OF T HE NEW ZEALAND AND AUSTRA LIAN EXHIBITION.

Dispatches were received yesterday at the Colonial-office, from the Governors of Jamaica, and als o rom th e G overno rs of the otter Weet India Otinulee, JUNE 20, 1846. flicts which, occurring betwixt the military and the populace, are common and mischievous enough anywhere, but pre • eminently to be guarded against at Lahore, situated as we are, with the Government. Notwithstanding this, a slight commotion had most unfortunately occurred on the 21st - ult.; arising from trivial and unlooked-for circumstances, and 'drawing after it happily no consequences of any con siderable moment, though likely enough to be magnified by the enemies of the recent policy. A guard had been set, to prevent admission to one of the main streets, to facili tate the entrance of some ordnance stores. A drove of cattle endeavoured to force their way, when a couple of cows were wounded by the artillerymen on duty. An uproar immedi ately ensued; stones and briekbats flew in all directions; one man is said to have been killed, several were severely in jured; and the shops throughout the city were shut up as if a general rising had been - expected. Matters soon resumed tranquillity ; the leaders in the affray were taken up ; and the ringleader is eaid:to have been executed. Instead of consider ing this an indication of .the inveteracy of hostility enter tained towards us, we view it in exactly the opposite light; it seems no trivial proof of the orderly dispositions of the citizens that a thing so easily magnified into sacrilege as the injuring of a creature so sacred as the cow, should have caused nothing more than a row of very inconsiderable magnitude and limited endurance.—Above a hundred pieces of artillery are said to have been discovered concealed in various quarters of the town. Two forts near our new frontier on the Jullundur Doab side had refused to surrender; and one of these, Kote Kangra, is understood to be extremely strong. The garrison, however, is said not to be numerous, nor the armament heavy; provisions had been laid in'for a siege of long duration. It is not easy to understand the feeling by which the governor of the garrison is ac cuated to resistance, unless it be that chivalry of which the middle ages supply European examples—that a strong hold such as this should be maintained till captured—that nothing but sheer force can authorise its surrender. Our political agent had sent a messenger in the name of the British Government, while Runjeet Singh sent another on the part of the Seikhs, requiring the place to be given up without delay. The reception and reply vouchsafed to the messengers respectively were as pithy and unmistakeable as might be. The first had his face blackened, and both were unceremoniously turned out ; the governor of the fortress declined giving a written reply, but stated that he considered Runjeor Singh a dog, held the Maharaja in, contempt, and would not open the gates until Runjeet Singh himself (who died in 1839) came to demand admit tance; that he defied the British, and would give them a reply when they showed themselves in the pass. No sym pathy with this warlike spirit is manifested amongst the people around. Brigadier Wheeler was about to proceed from Loodianah with two regiments of infantry and a suf ficient force of artillery, to make themselves masters of the place. The 44th N. I. had been compelled to stop on their way to this service. When about three miles from Kangra they found the direct road to the fortress impracti cable, and they had to halt to change the line of their ad vance to another at 20 miles round. The force ultimately ordered out consisted of eleven mortars and a nine-pounder battery, the 4th Irregular Cavalry, the 2d, 18th, 41st, 44th, and - 59th Regiments of Native Infantry—a strong and well appointed detachment as may be desired of about 6,000 men. It is wise to err in excess, if error there be at all; we should never run even the risk of encountering a cheek. Arms and ammunition had been discovered and taken possession of. The seizure happened thus—lnformation had been received that arms were concealed near Dukee-ke-serai, and the Ist Cavalry and Bth Irregulars were dispatched to investigate the matter. Near the fort marks of bullocks carts were per ceived, and within one was observed laden with chopped straw, and ready to start. A sword being thrust into the load, something much more hard than should have been there was discovered. The cart being unloaded was found to con tain a beautiful nine-pounder brass gun. Four others, with camel pieces, jazails, swords, and matchlocks, and a very large quantity of shot, shell, and ammunition of all sorts were discovered. Of course such incidents as AU' are nothing more than may, under the circumstances, for a long time to come be looked for. The climate in our new dominions is said to surpass in agreeableness and salubrity anything Indian can boast of. A court-martial had been sitting at Lahore, on Captain Cecil of the 11th Native Infantry, who bad quitted his , regiment without leave at Feroaeshah. The comments on the conduct of the Com mander-in-Chief both, before, during, and subsequent to, the late battles, are loud, general, and in the last degree uncom plimentary. In India writers discuss these points, not, as is affirmed at home, on their own individual responsibility so much as on the authority of the most distinguished officers of the army, with whom they are in close and constant in tercourse. The emphatic silence maintained in Parliament on the merits of Sir H. Gough, when those of all the other commanders were commended, comes in confirmation of the correctness of the conclusions here arrived at—that never were tactical deficiencies and want of skill more conspicuous than in the three great actions where he commanded. He acted the part of a brave common soldier—victory being won by the sheer bull- dog courage of the men. The little minded timidity and disingenuousness which have since ap peared meet with still less excuse than the unskilfulness of the arrangements. A captain of Native Infantry is absent from his corps when he ought to have been present, and he is to be tried, and very properly, by court-martial. A colonel in the Queen's service, commanding a brigade, directs her - Majesty's 62d to retire, when his immediate superior, .t....--s-aneral Or Walston, cOmmauda them to advance ; and disobedience so flagrant, and in so unusual a form, is overlooked. General Littler, in the belief that no inferior officer could dare to command retreat, states in his dis patch that the men retired through panic. Colonel Reed had not for days made his superior aware of the order that had been given, and the superior is thus for a- time placed in the painful position of having the accuracy of his state ments called in question. An inquiry takes place—Colonel Reed is blamed, General Littler complimented; but the let ters in which the praise and censtfre of authority'are con veyed, are permitted to be circulated but forbidden to be published. The injury inflicted on General Littler in the Gazette is redressed by a private letter; one of the heaviest offences an officer can commit is visited by private censure I Such is the case of her Majesty's 62d—that of the comman der of the brigade, or rather of the officer who ought to have commanded it, is worse even than this. Brigadier was, according to the depositions of eleven officers of his own, and several of other regiments, so drunk as to be inca pacitated for leading the men into action ; yet he, like Bri gadier Reed, escapes without a court-martial. It is said that he had been prised in orders before his misconduct became known—just as others who were not engaged at all were on other occasions complimented for good conduct in the field. These give some idea of the store likely soon to be set upon a compliment in general orders, and the impartiality to be expected in cases of misconduct. It is said that Sir Hugh Gough is introducing what is called the Tipperary school of tactics, where nothing is required but the order to " Thry them with the could stale ;" and the Donnybrook system of discipline, where every man may drink or fight as he thinks fit if he only does it effectually, and belongs to the Queen's, not the Company's, army. The amount of treachery and complication of treason which drew down on the Seikhs their fate, now beginning to be disclosed, is frightful.

The Money-market, although still lightish, is less pressed than it was a fortnight back; and as it is understood large remittances have been received from China and Bambay to meet the prompt of the third opium sale in a few days, we are led to expect a more easy state of things. EMS. Iris has arrived with considerable remittances on Government ac count; and extensive clearances of imports are in progress under orders from the up-country dealers, tending to relieve the market.

SATURDAY, MAY 9.—The import trade continues in a moat languid state ; in fact, it may be considered, as far as re gards realising, over for this season. In Cotton Manufactures very little has been done during the week, there being little inquiry for any description of goods. A few sales only are reported in bleached shirtings, grey madapollams, and jacconets, at about:last week's prices. Of yarn in the grey 12,0001b5. 20 mules are said to have been sold at 6 annas per lb. In metals rather more has been done, but the transactions, with the exception of British bar iron, for which the inquiry has again revived, have been in some measure forced. They are reported to be as follows :- 200 cwt. Tile copper at rs. 47 per cwt. 200 do. Sheathing ditt o a t "53 do. 600 do. Brazier's ditto ...... 200 do.

HONG-HONG, APRIL 25.—The only event of any im portance that occurred here since I last wrote you has been a meeting between Sir John Davis and Keying at the Bogue on the 3d inst. The greatest secresy has been observed on both sides, before, at, and subsequent to the conference, no thing having been announced on the subject, and all the officials having been kept in ignorance that such a meeting was to take place. . The bankruptcy formerly mentioned of the principal native broker at Shanghae has been followed by that of the only other one who ever commanded any share of the misplaced confidence alike of Chinese and foreigners. This last called himself Kingwo since he became a man of importance, though he was not long ago the servant of a British merchant here, when he acquired a smattering of English, which was pro bably his chief recommendation with his employers. These men, Alum, who has absconded, and Kingwo, were trusted un limitedly, and the extent of loss that will be sustained through their failure has not yet been ascertained. As about a sixth part of the silk from Shanghae, and a certain proportion of the teas have been on native account, there is here so much security against loss. It is said that it will fall chiefly upon the Chinese traders, who may be induced in future to return to the distant but more secure market of Canton. Should this be so, the foreign merchant may be left to deal with men of less capital and standing, and it may require years to restore the sudden but short-lived prosperity of Shanghae. This is the result of overstocking the market, especially with rubbishing goods, and placing ourselves at the mercy of middlemen of no character, instead of transacting business directly with the native merchants themselves. The difficulty of accomplishing this at first would have been trifling compared with the disastrous result of adopting the other and easier course. English and American goods are now re-shipped in large quantities from Shanghae. A large export of such goods has recently been made to Siam, upon which country Shanghae used formerly to be in some measure dependent for its supplies. Stocks too upon which the native capitalists have made advances to their countrymen at exorbitant rates of interest are now forced upon the mar ket at any price they will fetch. 200,000 _pieces of shirting, for example, have recently been offered at Nmgpo at 1 dollar 70c. instead of about 3 dollars, the price previously obtainable. An unpleasant rumour about one of the receiving ships dis honouring an opium order, granted, I believe, to Kingwo for double the value of teas and silk, is mentioned. Such orders have hitherto been unquestioned, and were always received with peculiar confidence; advances had been made upon the one in question by a third party, but when presented to the captain of the receiving vessel he returned it crossed with the word " cancelled," and no redress could be obtained from his employer, who, however, it is said, declares his readiness to submit:his conduct to scrutiny ; and as he belongs to a house of the first reputation it is probable he may be able to assign good reasons for the proceeding. At Canton trade partakes largely of the general flatness. The prospects of the Shanghae market induces holders to force sales, while a great scarcity of money prevails at both places, sycee being quoted at 10 per cent. premium, and so much as 15 per cant. having been paid at Shanghae to meet duties. _ _ . ............. The"export of tea has been unprecedentedly great this year, induced in some measure by the vain hope of a reduc tion in the tea duty being included in Sir R. Peel's financial arrangements. Such excessive imports are not, perhaps, the most likely means of bringing about theftdesired end. Of raw silk there has been exported to England, from Shang hae and Canton, since the Ist of July, 15,000 bales. CANTON MARKET, APRIL 20. An extreme dullness prevails in the import market gene rally. There is a great scarcity of money, owing to very large sums having been sent into the tea districts, as ad vances upon next year's crop, and there is much want of confidence among the Chinese, owing to the allure of an extensive tea broker. The hopes that were entertained of Shanghae proving a vent for the surplus imports of manu factures being at an end, foreigners evince great anxiety to realise. SH.ANGHAE, MARCH 8. Since my last, there has been another stoppage, the second principal native merchant here, and although his liabilities are not nearly of so large an amount as the preceding failure, it must have an increased and powerful tendency to rarify the trade at this emporium, and cause our business to be carried on through the agency of a number of small traders. This new state of affairs will, of course, have a depressing influence upon the trade of this port, until it fairly comes into operation, and until the confidence of the tea and silk men is established in the working of the system, which must sooner or later ensue. Strange to say, however, notwith standing the difficulties in which they have been so recently involved (cases of extreme hardship to many of their num ber), the producers from the interior pertinaciously ad here to the old established principle of extensive hongs, and object to their business being thrown into numerous , channels. Tea—Very little doing, except in greens, in which there have been lately a few operations at comparatively high rates. Silk—Little really first-rate remains in the city, but there is no doubt that a moderate quantity might be obtained from the interior by the purchaser paying for it in Sycee or iu ap preciated imports, say good assortments of Spanish striped and long ells. This export still continues most difficult of ex-_ change, so far as our staple imports are concerned. Middling Taysaam may be quoted 270 dole. to 310 dols. for Sycee ; Tsatlee being 80 dols. to 100 dols. in advance of these rates; 12,000 bales (all kinds) have already been ship ped from this port, and we may possibly, before the year's export is completed, find some 3,000 more, making the total shipments for this season about , . ; 000 bales, more than half of which will be Tsatlee. Opium—Patna 695 dols. t°79a 1 )-1, payment in dollars. Really first class Malwa held for 770 dols., but at that value not in requisition. Holders of the new drug have fixed a high price upon it to enable them to clear off old stocks, but as the supply has become extended by the arrival of the Island Queen and Denis, we shall, in all probability, exp e _ rience a decline from present rates. o p f re o m bt iv ai m nm ra e n n g t ranging from o f m or 8 patyumleont perof Sr c duties, e e a — n thend Mos t d o i nly ul a t t cent.

" I fear very heavy losses will be made from Shanghae in -t ea s, snore especially those lately shipped, as all appeared to be taking what they could get out of the godowns, and ship ping it off in very bad order. " Malway of No. 2 quality and under has been selling largely of late here at 650 dols. to 14 chests for 1,000 dols. The Anonyma and Island Queen have brought on some very bad stuff, which is being sold very cheap. The Gem passed through the bay two days ago, with, as reported, 900 chests on board of No. 1, and 200 bales of cotton. Turkey, of which there is none here, is wanted at 570 dols., but supplies ex pected soon. The Sapphire, I hear, has brought rations for the troops up to the end of July." CHARGE OF MURDER.—A painful case has occurred at Shefford. Some lightermen quarrelled at the White Horse Inn, atßiggleewade, and a tight between two of them afterwards was the result. After the fight, a young man of tke name oft Gray, one of the combatants, was leaving, when his adversary gave him a brutal kick 11 the abdomen, and caused instant death. His bladder was burst. After killing him, the brute was ab ou t t o threw the body iA the leeks. but was presented. • ' ALEXANDRIA. JUNE B.—Soobhej Bey, Mehemet All's private secretary. is to proceed to Constantinople in a couple of days, to make the necessary preparations for the arrival there 9f.the Viceroy, who seems now bent upon undertaking thitveyuge. Prince Waldemar,, of Prussia, who e3me to Egypt by the last Bombay steamer, took his departure for Trieste by the last Aus trian steamer, which left,on the 27th of May. The passengers who came froin Bombay by the same opportunity are loud in their praise of the affability and kindness of the Prince, who, the evening before he sailed, invited them all to dine With him at • the hotel. Avery heavy shower 'of rain fell in Alexandria on the night of the 27th of May, a re markable occurrence, as it very seldom rains at all in this country between the months of March and November. Mehemet All's eldest daughter, Nazlet Hanem, widow of the late Deftardar Bey, arrived her from Cairo on the 30th the one v of May, to sp en d t h e summer w i th her father. She he , taken up her r es id ence at the Pacha ' s harem, where h i s Hig h. Mehemet Alißay onl yhn a e"haB , at t p resent .the s motheryoungest d oa and Said Pac fa vourite son, is also here ; he and Said Pacba being the only two sons his Highness has in Egypt, his other three Sons — Ibrahim Pacha, Houssien Bey, and Haleem Bey—being In Europe. The water in the Mahmoudieh Canal and the Nile is now so very low, that the directors of the transit are obliged to resort to various expedients to get the passengers throues, the country, and a number of camels, donkies, and mules* have been sent to different points on the canal to assist in carrying them on. Mehemet Ali has endeavoured to remedy this by supplying the Mahmoudieh Canal, by means of a branch canal, but the latter pauses through an estate of Said Pacha's, the water is all turned off into hl own lands, and the Mahmoudieh remains dry. The Austrian Consul-General here, who has never been in good odour with the Viceroy, has recently had some angry words with his Highness regarding certain monopolies which are still kept up by him, though he is bound to allow the trade to be quite free throughout the country. An Austrian subject having last winter obtained from the Government a firman to buy in the upper country a certain citillititY of gum arabic, w hi c h his Highness maintains his right to as a menopoly, brought down a larger quantity than was spa" cified, and on his arrival at Cairo the surplus was seized by the Custom-house. On the merchant's application, the AuS trian Consul immediately communicated with the Viceroy, Who said that the Custom -house officers had acted on his orders. The Consul intimated that he would be under the necessity of seeking redress at Constantinople, to which Mehemet Ali answered, that after paying his tribute, the Sublime Porte could command him in nothing. It is gene rally believed that his Highness will eventually give up the gum to the merchant. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Precursor arrived at Suez on the sth inst., with 78 passengers. By this opportunity we have received intelligence from Zong- Kong to the 25th of April, and Bombay to the 12Z.tk of May. - - - _ The Precursor sailed from Calcutta on the Ed of May. arrived at Madras on the 9th, sailed from Madras on the 10th, arrived at Galle on the 13th, sailed from Galls on the 14th, and arrived at Aden on the 27th, sailed from Aden on the 28th of May, and arrived at Suez on the 25th of June.

Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Lord DRNMAN and a Common Jury,) WELD V. LEAHY AND ANOTHER. (Continued from oar Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) A number of witnesses were called on behalf of the pain. tiff, who proved that the plans had been altered or delayed, and the plates altered; and that the wages paid to the parties engaged in getting the plans and sections up as it approached towards the 30th November were from 6 to 10 guineas a week, and in some instances five shillings an hour. It was also alleged that a great deal of the extra expense arose from the conduct of the plaintiff's in not supplying the copies to be engraved in a proper time and manner. Mr. MARTIN replied at some length, maintaining that as the plaintiff had entered into a contract to execute the work at a certain price, he was forced to do so, and that the alterations complained of arose from the incompetency of some work men engaged in getting up the plates. He also put 112 some documents to:prove the contract, and correspondence, to show that subsequently the plaintiff admitted the prices originally agreed upon to be correct for the work he was executing. The Learned Gentleman denied that: any delay, such as that complained of, had taken plac,e or that the defendant's conduct had been the cause of the extra expense incurred. He submitted, in conclusion, that sufficient had been paid to meet all reasonable charge. Mr. CROWDER replied in reference to the documents. Lord DENMAN summed up at some length. The jury, after a short consultatiou, returned verdict Or the plaintiff 200 L, in addition to 31. paid into Court, and 40s. Cog& CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. NEW COURT. BlGA:stY.—Joseph Mortimer, indicted on two different charges of bigamy, and one of larceny, was placed at the bar, and pleaded not guilty on all. On the first charge of bigamy, it appeared, by the usual evidence from the parish register, that the prisoner, in 1839, married Josephine Langhorne, who was proved to have been alive in New York on the 25th of March of the present year. But it was also proved that, on the 7th of June, 1844, he married Caroline Wright, his first wife, Josephine Mortimer, being at the time alive. The prisoner, when called upon for his defence, handed in a written paper, alleging that according to the law of the United States, where he had become a citizen, he was le gaily separated from his wife—both mutually agreeing to this on the consideration of giving her a power of attorney to collect certain money for her own support. The Learned REcoupEr., in addressing the jury, said that the prisoner, a native of Ireland, was a British-born subject, and whether he had become a citizen in the States of Ame rica, or whether anything had been done in the matter of a divorce by any Court there competent for the purpose, of which, however, there was not a tittle of evidence before the jury, he nevertheless still owed allegiance to the British Crown, and was amenable to British laws. The jury, after consulting a few minutes, returned a verdict of Guilty. The second indictment charg ed the prisoner with marry. L.tih a Phillip the time liPsChurch alive. Liverpool, Mr. Shutwood, brot her-in-law to Mrs. Wri g ht, was led, b y hisi n g former Mary Su s anna wife, Mrs. right. Love i y g , hatt, being questions put by the prisoner, to make some rather unplea sant revelations. He said that the woman had left the pri soner in consequence of a theft he had committed on herself, having taken up her gold ring and absconded. The prisoner returned to her a second and third time, and as frequently made off with money belonging to his unhappy wife. Isabella Kay identified the prisoner as one of the parties concerned in the marriage with Mary Lovejoy at Liverpool. The Jury after a short consultation returned a verdict of Guilty.

The Learned RECORDER sent the case to the jury, and told them if they had no doubt that the prisoner had used stratagem for the purpose of obtaining possession of the box, which he afterwards carried away, they would find him guilty of a larceny as set forth in the indictment. The jury in a short time returned a verdict of Guilty a t e indicted. The Learned RECORDER, in pronouncing sentence on the prisoner, expressed in the strongest terms his detestation of the unexampled baseness of the prisoner, who, not content with having bereft the poor woman of all her money, obtained from her under promise of marriage, had allowed her to pledge her clothes to supply him with more, and took base measures to get possession of the few articles of apparel which remained, and then deserted his victim. He sen• tenced him to transportation for seven years. The Learned RECORDER reserved sentence on the two charges of bigamy.
