Dispatches have been received by express from Marseilles in anticipation of the overland mail, which left Bombay on the Ist instant. The intelligence thus brought is not of much po litical importance. At Lahore everything remained quiet, the troops were healthy, and were expecting an early visit of inspection from the Governor-General. Lall Singh betrayed great anxiety as the time for the de. parture of the British forces approached. From Caubul there were, as usual, rumours of in trigues and insurrections. A report that an English army would invade Peshawur upon the arrival of the cold season had produced much alarm, and it was said that proposals for a treaty of alliance would be made to Lord Ilardinge. An insurrection had broken out in Cashmere, fo mented, it is reported, by the Lahore Durbar ; and a force sent against the insurgents by Ghoolab Singh had been defeated with some loss. Several English officers who were visiting the country had been seized, and would be detained as hostages, though no fears were entertained for their safety. Cholera was still raging in Sinde, and provisions were so enormously scarce and dear that an absolute famine was apprehended. At Bombay there was no news. Trade was rather dull, and all transactions on a very limited scale. A volcano had appeared on Saddle Island in the Red Sea. The mail was carried from Bombay by the steam ' ship Atalanta, which sailed at 6 P.M. on the Ist inst., and reached Suez on the 19th, at 10 A.M. The express through Egypt left Suez an hour and a half after the steamer's arrival, reached Cairo at half-past five o'clock in the evening, and Alexandria at five P.M. on the following day. Her Majesty's ship Ardent sailed for Trieste with a portion of the dispatches at half-pasttwelve o'clock at night, and the Ariel, belonging to the Peninsular and Oriental Company, to which we are indebted for this intelli gence, started a quarter of an,hour afterwards. The Ariel reached Marseilles at nine o'clock in the even ing of the 26th. On this occasion, therefore, it would seem that the route by Marseilles has the ad vantage. The intelligence from Egypt is not remarkable. Mr. Murray, the newly-arrived Consul-General, had left Alexandria for Cairo, where he was to be formally presented to the Pacha. English shipping continued to be so scarce that freights had reached a most ex travagant height, and the merchants were loudly complaining. Corn and beans had risen rapidly in price, in consequence of the late news from England, as well as all other articles of consumption. (From the Bombay Times, Oct. 1.) Each succeeding mail makes us, as it must make the English reader, aware, that under a thoroughly peace ful Administration there is, in the regions of non-intel ligence, beneath the lowest deep a lower still. We are this month altogether devoid of subjects for relation, though not without abundance for discussion. Those on which diversity of opinion must occur are excluded from that portion of our paper devoted to narrative, and which thereby becomes nearly a blank. India at large is Iran ' quil, and the general peace extends to each individual province, whether of old or recent acquisition. The cool season has set in in Scinde, and the climate at pre sent seems not only healthy, but agreeable. The natives continue to suffer from extreme dearth and scarcity of provisions. No reduction of the amount of troops on the Indus has yet occurred, and the rumours regarding it have been transformed into whispers of fresh military movements. These aro understood to originate at Kurra chee, and to be disseminated to mislead as to the great political changes now rapidly approaching. Some rob beries have occurred at Sultkur, and inroads of small magnitude been made on the border. Our troops con tinue pretty healthy at Lahore and in the Funjaub—the Governor-General taking pains to make the highly peaceful nature of his policy, and his determined aversion to war, be understood. It is somewhat singular, that while assurances of the resolute determi nat i on of the Governor-General to main tain peace throughout the British dominions reach us from the best informed men at head-quarters, and while all existing appearances bear out the general belief, re torts seem sedulously scattered around Kurrachee of movements to the north—of a march on Bahawulpore, or foray over the frontier—a little war somewhere, just to show that a vast army is indispensable in Sinde, and leaving it to be inferred that when troops are in the field the presence of the Governor is indispensable. It is understood that an order ha; been issued from the supreme Government for the suspension of the con struction of public works on the Indus. The Sinde horse and Belooch battalions, both a sort of independent corps, have been incorporated with the Bombay army. It must be recollected that there is scarcely a single Sindian in either corps, though their designations would lead to the inference that they were composed of na tives of the country. An additional battalion of the first-named of the two is at present being raised in the Deccan. spread very industriously, that more men are required on the Indus, above 15,000 being already there; and that a march to the northward, for what purpose no one can comprehend, is in contemplation. It is supposed that tales such as these are meant to mystify and be wilder the public, it being generally understood that, however secret the matters may be kept, the purposes of the supreme Government are fixed, and that by a day far from distant Sinde will be incorporated with the Bombay Presidency, relieved of an independent Govern ment, and at least of half its army. The arrangements of Sir C. Napier for his return to Europe are said to be in a state of forwardness, his family being shortly expected at Bombay to proceed by the Red Sea route. The cli mate of Sinde is at present pleasant and healthy, the temperature cool and agreeable. There is, notwith standing, a large amount of sickness amongst the men of her Majesty's 60th and 86th, naturally consequent on the terrible visitation cholera lately made them; the constitutions of those who happen to recover from the malady always suffering to such an ex tent as to lay them in the last degree open to other attacks. Frauds of a most extensive and mischievous nature have been detected in the commis sariat. False steelyards and weights had been employed in serving out provisions, by means of which the men had been most enormously defrauded in the quantity they ought to have received. A court-martial has occurred, the results of which are not yet known, but it is under stood that the parties originally supposed implicated have cleared themselves of the charges brought against them. On this, as well as on another matter connected with the supplies of the men, Sir C. Napier has issued caustic and characteristic general orders of well-deserved severity. "BY HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR OF SINDE. "Head-quarters, Kurrachee, Sept. 17, 1846. " The court of inquiry on the complaint made against the bakers shows that the men have not been supported. I set them to work with the object of getting good bread for the soldiers, and to give these bakers the full support of the Government, which they had not re ceived, but the very reverse. This is the opinion of the court of inquiry, and I entirely concur in that opinion. Major Bleukins made a contract with these men, which they could not fulfil with justice to themselves. They are to be paid immediately the money due to them, and this payment is to be made in cash. lam quite at a loss to conceive how Major Blenkins could thick that I would sanction his forcing the bakers to give a higher price for Government wheat than the price paid in the market. This would have at once defeated my exertion, and the measure is unjust in itself. I therefore order— " 1. That the bakers are to be paid in ready cash weekly. " 2: That they may take Government wheat, or not take it, as they please. "3. That the assistant-commissary-general be re sponsible that the Government wheat sold to the bakers be perfectly clean, and at such prices below the lowest market price as shall be arranged by me with the advice of the collector at Kurrachee. " 4. That if any baker goes to the Commissariat-office for'wheat, and is put off by any of the people of the commissariat, instead of being immediately served, as the bakers complain that they have been, such baker is to come immediately to me, having marked well the man who put him off, and who shall learn the danger of op posing my exertions to protect the British soldiers from being robbed and ill-treated by contractors and bailers. " 5. If the bakers so assisted by the public make bad bread, the commander of the station will be pleased to report the same to me immediately, and I will try them, as camp followers, by court-martial, and execute the sentence, whatever it may be. " 6. The present contract with the bakers is to be torn up, and a new one made out, under the direction of the court of inquiry and the assistant-commiscary general, which contract is then to be submitted to me for final sanction. (Signed) C. J. NAPIER, Governor, " Major-General Commanding." The quality of the bread supplied by the public bakers having been complained of, the utmost efforts were made for its improvement. It still coatinued bad, and the bakers excused themselves that so long as they were compelled to receive payment, not in cash, but in grain issued from the Government stores, of worse qua lity and higher pric e th an th at to b e had in the bazaar, they could not make it better. On this coming to the knowledge of the Major-General, the head of the Com missariat was severely blamed in orders, and directed to pay in money, not in grain; to take care of the grain kept in store by him, and to leave the bakers alone to prac tise where they thought fit. Most men are somewhat unreasonable and tenacious in matters of etiquette—none more so than civilians and soldiers. It has been a standing rule in the army for nearly half a century amongst all varieties of troops holding her Majesty's commission, whether regular or irregular, home or colonial—that horse artillery should Swindling to a most alarming extent is said to have been discovered in those supplying the troops with meat, false weights and improper steelyards having been made use of fur the purposes of fraud. The bakers who sup plied the bread, again, appear to have been partly paid in grain from the Government stores, higher prices having been charged for this than those current in the market; on both points severe general orders have been issued by Sir C. Napier. It is said, that singular coun tervailing discoveries have been made, so that the parties presently inculpated may prove innocent, and the blame be further forwarded to other shoulders. Lieutenant Balfour, of the Indian navy, had lately been engaged in examining the channel betwixt Gisree Bunder and the Indus. His report is favourable • and, should the anticipatio ns expressed in it be realised, the advantages of having this line of communication, which could be maintained throughout the year, opened up, would be very great indeed. Vast flights of locusts had made their appearance in the neighbouring province of Lus, but happily had not visited Sinde. A general order had been published on the subject of the relative precedence of the different denominations of the Company's and the Queen's troops, the agitation of which had occasioned many heartburnings and much misunderstanding. At the funeral of the late Captain John Napier, the Hon. Colonel Dundas, commanding her Majesty's 60th, had given this corps the precedence of Captain Rowland's troop of Horse Artillery, and, the irregularity being pointed out, he insisted that the royal army of all arms should on all occasions take the post of honour. Singularly enough, a thing so perfectly well established by a long series of general orders, em bodied in every military code for half a century, was parsed on from hand to hand to the Commander-in- Chief of all Indi a — t h e C ommander of the Forces in Sinde, and the Commander-in-Chief of Bombay, being equally competent to dispose of it, by simple reference to regulations. According to these, Horse Artillery, whether Company's or Queen's, take precedence of Dragoons, and Foot Artillery of Infantry, so that had Dragoons and Foot Artillery been present, her Majesty's 60th would have been placed three steps above the place they were entitled to have occupied in relation to the Horse Artillery. A good deal of truckling and tem porizing has unhappily made its appearance, and an in finity of ill-blood has been generated. The Honourable Colonel Dundas, through whose ignorance of rule and intemperateness of disposition all this has arisen, has, in consequence, it is understood, of family connexions and public influence, escaped without censure. The BonAbay Govern ment, impressed with the monstrousness of permitting the harmony which ought_to exist amongst all divisions of the service to be thus interrupted, has ordered the whole correspondence to be sent home. It is to be hoped that there so gross a breach of discipline will be more strictly dealt with than it has been in I n di a . The intelligence contained in our last of the arrival of the Chief of M.oltan at Lahore turns out to be un founded. He has not as yet been prevailed on to come in, nor is it likely he will readily permit himself to be so without an abundant guarantee from us for his safety. The report arose from the circumstance of another de el i e n ra q u e e t to in o f i t a h h e e s h a i m s pe eaceame, a e n a e m w e i , t h b t u h t e D I e s u s r e h r a r . n o T t e h , ehavingorigin of the report formerly given, and contradicted, of the death of Raja Lall Singh, is easily explained. Debate had waxed so warm in council that Heera Singh and the Wuzeer drew swords, and would have slain each other inspection but for the interference of others. The past fortnight supplies not one syllable in the shape of news. The will possibly troops continue quiet and healthy near the Seikh capital, i t n o g u e r of prepared to retire the moment trhde. prescribed term about oit our new frontier. Though notably throng the states on be has • never manifested the quiet and uncommunicative, occupationthtthis tie e h x a p v i e r e starteds.

It is t could, w e b • be committed to Sir J. Littler. le li eve, elleve, that the command between the Sutl e j an d the Bens will - take precedence of dragoons, foot artillery and Infantry; and this was a matter with which no one ever dreamt of meddling. At the funeral of Captain J. Napier, the Hon. Colonel Dundas, who formerly got himself into trouble while belonging to the household at home, for some allusion made in public to her Majesty, having the command of the day, ordered‘‘her Majesty's 60th, of which he is senior officer, to take precedence of Row land's Horse Artillery. A great sensation was occa sioned on the spot by this very unusual proceeding and most uncalled-for interruption to the harmony until then exiiting amongst .the troops. Somehow or other the local commanders in-chief seemed averse to meddle with the matter, though the regulations were so explicit that it could be settled at once without any reference at all. It was, however, sent OR from hand to hand, till the Commander-in-Chief of all India set the matter at rest by the publication of the standing general orders on the subject, Colonel Dundas escaping with the simple repu diation of his acts. The irritation and ill-blood this has occasioned in a community entirely military, will not soon be got over or corrected. In Sinde the people con tinue to suffer severely from scarcity of food. The addi tion of 25,000 made by us to the number of consumers, while agriculture was checked by war, has transformed the country from an exporting to an importing one, and given it starvation instead of excess. It is rumoured that the 60th Rifles will be sent to Bengal, and I believe it is certain that her Majesty's 17th return home without delay; they have been sud denly cut up and wrecked by disease. Some inroads on our frontier have of late been made by the Hillmen, and numerous robberies have occurred in the upper country. These are incidents which have been common in Sinde from the time it was first peopled, and are likely so to continue as long as it is inhabited by semi-barbarians. They exercise no very material influ ence on the prospects of the State. From Lahore we have tidings to the 12th September. Matters in the capital continue exactly as they for months have been. No preparations have as yet been made for the withdrawal of the army, but it is scarcely yet time, and not the slightest hint has yet been given that they are to remain an hour beyond the time origi nally agreed on. The rumour formerly noticed as to the murder of Lall Singh appears to have arisen from the occasion of a peculiarly warm debate at court, where the disputants waxed so hot in argument as to draw their swords up'n each other. Our troops continue healthy, and not a murmur is ever heard from them of hardship or discomfort. Never did an army of occupation steer so clear of collision and misunderstanding, or stand so free of censure as that of Sir John Littler. The army just referred to will, it is said, on its retire ment, relieve the troops in the Jullundur Doab, and its gallant chief command the troops betwixt the Beas and the Sutlej. I have of late seen numerous letters from Simla, and the writers in all cases mention that the Go vernor-General loses no opportunity of proclaiming the highly pacific nature of his policy, and his determina tion neither to go to war himself, nor to suffer others to fight where peace can with safety be maintained. De clarations of this nature, confirmed as they are by cor responding practice, gives the greatest confidence to those anxious for the advancements, and willing to de vote their resources and energies thereunto, if at all assured of the permanence of tranquillity permitting their effects to become effective, The newswriters are the only parties who have reason to complain of the con , truance of the present order of things ; these piping times of peace are ruinous to the annalist. (From the Bombay Telegraph.) " The insurrection in Cashmere is headed by Shaikh Etnam-ood-been, the son of the former governor of the province; and it is asserted, notwithstanding the strong denial of Raja Lall Singh, that the Lahore I)urbar has had something to do in the way of fomenting the dis turbances. It was at first stated that the Shaikh, on the 3d of September, attacked Raja Ghoolab Singh's troops with 12,000 men, took them by surprise, and defeated them, killing several personages of note. All the British officers, save two, left Lahore on the commencement of hostilities, and Lieutenant Edwardes proceeded from Lahore to Jamoo—Ghoolab Singh's bill residence—for the purpose, it i s sa id b y some , o f ta ki ng measures to `bring Ernam-ood-Deep to reason.' The place at which the battle took place,' observes the Delhi Gazette,' is not mentioned, but we presume that it must have been in the neighbourhood of or beyond Poonch, as the tribes of the valley of the Jhelum are especially named as having joined Emam-ood-Deen, and they would hardly have gone so far from their homes to encounter the .Maharaja's troops i n th e d e fil es l ea ding to the Peer Pin jail pass.' It is said that in this engagement Ghoolab Singh lost four hundred men, and all his guns. The whole of the Hill chiefs are rumoured to have risen against him, and to have acknowledged Emam-ood-Deen as their leader, professing at the same time the utmost anxiety to s ee us th e i r ru l e rs, but protesting against their being made over to Ghoolab Singh.' The Raja has taken active measures to retrieve this reverse—his son having been sent off- with a reinforcement of five thousand men. The latest accounts respecting Cashmere affairs are to be found in the Delhi Gazette of the 19th instant, from which paper we take the following ex tract : "' An urzee was received from Dewan Hakeem Rae, stating that when he hurt iedly wrote his first letter re garding the battle between the troops of Ghoolab Singh with Shaikh Emam-ood-Deen, he had stated the loss at 2,000 killed and wounded on both sides, he had not obtained the full particulars; but that now he was able to say, on pretty good information, that Shaikh Emam ood-deen having made cne march from Cashmere, was attacked during the night by the troops of Raja Ghoolab Singh. The Seikh being on his guard, defended him self stoutly, and about 200 people were killed on both sides. Two officers of rank on the side of Ghoolab Singh, and two officers of Shaikh Emam-ood-Deen, fell in the conflict. " 'From Hazareh letters we learn that the Mulkeea people are continuing to make head against the authori ties of Ghoolab Singh, under the leadership of Moulvee Zamun Alee. llewan lluree Chund is unable to leave Ilurkishunghur. Col. Outtum Singh had gone into the camp of the insurgents to try and bring them to reason, but they threatened to shoot him, and he was glad to re turn to the fort with his life. The Mulkeeas are eh fall into no better hands. BOMBAY, OCTOBER 1, 1846. Rumours have most mysteriously sprung up, and wen camped about five koz from tlao fort, liaja, Ghoolttb The Marchioness cf Queensberry was then examined —Sue resided at Coton IL use, near Inichy. She had correspnded wAu the male prisoner, and sent him checques on Coutts's. Several ehegm's and letters were bete shown to her Ladyship, which she said were not in he 3. handwriting. She had received several letters from the prisoner, and she believed the letters and cheques were in his handwriting. The signature was a bad ilni• tatiun of her handwriting. The letters produced were written to her by a person who called himself Pearce, but she had never seen him. Mr. Barnaby, the chief clerk at Bow-street, took down in writing the statement made by the female prisoner at that office, which was to the effect that she met a gentle man in the Strand, of whom she asked the way to White chapel, when he asked her to take a paper to Coutts's, which she did, when she was taken into custody. Wit ness also took down the statements made by the male prisoner, in which he denied ever forging the signature of the Marchioness of Queensbury, and stated that his wife had made the statement she did in order to save his name coming before the public. John Winter proved that the two prisoners lived together as man and wife, and came to him in July last, and took a house from him. They both went by the name of Pearce. James Young, a solicitor, of Bloomsbury, had known the male prisoner for eighteen years. Had been in the habit of corresponding with him, and had seen him sign bis name. He believed the body of the cheque now produced, and the letters, to be in the male prisoner's hand-writing Cross-examined by Mr. BALLANTYNE—It W9S only till within the last year or two that he had had any correspondence with the prisoner. He had latterly seen him write his name frequently. Mr. John Bell, a reporter, was acquainted with the prisoner, and had frequently seen him write. He be lieved the cheque produced was in the prisoner's hand writing. The letters produced witness thought, to the best of his belief were in the prisoner's handwriting. Cross-examined by Mr. BALLANTY NE —The prisoner and witness had never had any quarrels. Witness had not volunteered to give evidence. Thomas John Green, another reporter, knew the pri soner, and stated his belief that the cheque and letters were in the male prisoner's handwriting. Mr. Watson, who had known the male prisoner eighteen years, gave similar evidence. The letters and cheques were then put in, and this closed the case for the prosecution. Mr. BALLANTYNE addressed the jury for the prisoners. The LORD CulE7 BARON summed up at some length, and The jury, after a short consultation, found both pri- Boners Guilty. Pearce implored the Court to suspend passing sen tence, in order that he might adduce evidence and pro duce testimonials as to his conduct through life. He had filled several most respectable situations, both at hoine and abroad, and had reared eight children by his own exertions. The LORD CHIEF BARON said he would postpone passing sentence until to•morrow morning, when the prisoner could produce testimonials as to his former course of life. The prisoner trusted that the Court would also allow his wife to produce evidence of her character. The LORD CHIEF BARON thought that was nnneces sary. The moral guilt being with the male prisoner. The male prisoner asserted his innocence of the crime, but stated that with respect to himself it was immaterial to him, what was done with him, all that he was anxious about was his wife and children. The LORD CHIEF BARON said he would postpone passing sentence till to-morrow morning, when the pri soner could produce his testimonials and witnesses. EAPE.—The Court then proceeded with the case of Clarhe, who was indicted with a rape on one of his own children, and an attempt on another. The facts are to .. tally unfit for publication, and the case was proceeding when our reporter left. MIDDLESEX SESSIO NS. (THIS DAY.) The Court sat this morning at ten o'clock, for the purpose of hearing Petitions and Appeals. The list con tained 65 cases to be heard, nine of which were appeals against summary convictions by the Metropolitan Police Magistrates, the remainder being Parish Appeals. The Learned Assistant Judge took the parish appeals first. Those heard during the morning possesaed not the slightest point of general interest. SOUTHWARK.--(THIS DAY.) John Cabe, the mate of the Cassandra, Mediterranean trader, was charged before Mr. Seeker with stealing a book, the property of the master of the vessel. It appeared that the Cassandra arrived on the pre vious day from a port in the south of Spain, laden with fruit, when the prisoner was paid off and discharged. Before leavirg the vessel, however, his chest was searched, and in it was found a book, entitled the " Silent Friend," which the captain claimed as his pro• perty, and gave the prisoner into custody. The prisoner declared that the charge was trumped up against him out of spite, the captain having quar relled with him and vowed he would be revenged upon him. He added that he had sailed as mate on board several vessels, and never had a blot upon his character before. The captain's brother wished to press the charge, but Mr. SECKER said that, even if the book had been taken, it might be done by mistake, and appeared to be of trifling value. He should, therefore, discharge the accused. WORSHIP-STREET.-(THIS DAY). A middle-aged, half-starved, miserable-looking female pauper, belonging to St. Luke's workhouse, was brought to this office, in custody of the police, charged with riotous conduct, and with breaking the windows in that establishment. The pauper was ushered into the Court at ten o'clock, being the time appointed for Ole hearing of the case. A quarter to eleven o'clock, however, ccnae, and the prosecutors had not yet arrived. This was inti mated to the Magistrate, as also that the unfortunate pauper had not received her breakfast, nor had any food whatever been given to her since the previous day. Mr. BINGBADt ordered her immediate discharge, and with great humanity desired the officers of the Court to lose no time in providing her with nourishing food. The chapfallen appearance of the officers of the work house, at learning, on their arrival with their witnesses, that the accused had not only been discharged, hut was partaking plentifully of the bounty of the police-office, afforded no small amusement to those who were present. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, THURSDAY.—The Queen will hold a Privy Council to-morrow (Friday) afternoon, at half past two o'clock, at the Castle.

The Princess was re ceived by the Chevalier Bunsen, the Prussian Minister, and Baron Meysenbuch. Her Royal Highness and suite visited and inspected the British Museum, St. Paul's Cathedral, the Temple Church, and the Chinese Exhibi tion. The Princess proceeded to the residence of the Prus sian Legation, on Carlton House-terrace, and honoured his Excellency, the Chevalier Bunsen, with her company at a dejiane. Her Royal Highness visited the Reform Club, and afterwards went to the Euston-square termi nus, leaving town, attended by the Baroness Scheel, the Prussian Minister, and the Earl of Denbigh, on her re turn to Cashiobury Park. A Cabinet Council was held yesterday afternoon at the Foreign-office.

DEATH OF THE PRINCE PALA TINE.—HAMIHTEGH, OCT. 24.—Private letters from Prague, of the 21st October, announce that his Imperial Highness the Arch duke Palatine is no more.—liamburgh Borsenhalle, Oct. 24. At the Woolwich Police-court, yesterday, Thomas Bland, a butcher, was fined 20s. for having sold a pig's head which was In a state unfit for human food. The day before yesterday, at a icourt of the Mer chant Tailors' Company, M. De lilte was appointed French lattiter tO the cOmPanY's sobool. Singh has, it is confidently reported, ordered more troops towards Hazareh. From Jummoo we learn that Maha raja Ghoolab Singh, having heard of the defeat of his troops by Shaikh Emam-ood-Deen, had ordered a body of troops towards Cashmere. It is stated that his private orders to these were on no account to fight the Seikh, but merely to prevent his proceeding towards Lahore. An urzee had come in from Dewan Hakeem Rae, re porting his arrival at Rajoree, and his conviction that he would soon be able to bring down the Seikh. He was told, in reply, at once to report any opposition that might be offered to his return through Sehun Lall to the British authorities.' " What course will be pursued by the British Govern ment in respect to the Cashmerian insurrection does not yet appear. It would seem, however, that Raja Ghoolab Singh, under the treaty, will have the right to call upon the British Government to assist him in reducing his tur bulent subjects to order ; so that in all probability our troops will ere long be again engaged in; hostilities, with the:view of forcing an unpopular sovereign on a miserable and oppressed people. The equivocal procedure of re seating Shah Soojah on the throne of Caubul, in utter defiance of the wishes of those under his sway, is about to be re-enacted in the little kingdom in the north eastern corner of the Funjaub. It is lamentable thr.t circumstances should necessitate this course of policy, for our Government should never be permitted to appear as the countenancer or conniver at deeds of oppression and injustice, or as the ally and supporter of a native tyrant. It may be said, that it is our duty to afford our ail in putting down rebellion ; but the question arises whether the insurrection in Cashmere can be correctly characterised by that term ? We confess that we do not think Lord Hardinge would be justified in establishing Gleoelab Singh as the ruler of Cashmere, without the consent of the Cashmerians themselves to his assumption of regal power. The Raja may deserve all the com mendation that has been bestowed on him as a chief of superior vigour and ability ; but com mon report represents him as being ferocious as a wolf and cruel as a tiger ; and it may be doubted whether these little defects in his character do not more than counterbalance the favourable and recommendatory attributes. For the British Government to say to the trembling Cashmerians, " This man we admit to be bloodthirsty, grasping, and despotic; he will rule you, we know, with a rod of iron; you will be subjected, while he lives, to the most grinding and hopeless op pression; but yet we are bound by treaty to place him securely on his throne, and lend him our aid to keep him there—and you must accept him whether you will or no, or we shall march an army into your country, and spread desolation far and wider—for such an address to be delivered, we say, to these unfortunate people, by our benevolent_ and upright Government, would betoken a strang e disregard of mor a l p r i nc i p l e , an d d eparture from those laws which should govern civilised nations in their intercouse with their semi-barbaric neighbours. Yet the support oflGhoolab Singh would:place the British authorities precisely in the position we have denoted. A 'general insurrection' affords no mean:or untrustworthy indication of the state of public feeling, and the refusal on the part of our Government to view it in its proper light will be tantamount to establishing the doctrine that the strong may be permitted to tyrannise to any extent over the weak, if only political circumstances or the re quirements of treaties render such a course for the time expedient. The results of our interference it would not be difficult to foresee. A triumphant march of a British force into Cashmere—a royal installation, amidst the semblance of rejoiciug, and a striking display of rude grandeur —a withdrawal after awhile of our troops—a brief period of unrestrained oppression on the part of the monarch, and unparalleled suffering on that of the people, and then a sudden outbreak and a bold deed of assassination, de structive of the earthly prospects-of the tyrant. These, doubtless, would be the leading events of the drama— thus would the curtain fall on the mortal career of Raja Ghoolab Singh. We trust that taking all these little matters into account,- Government will allow the Raja to settle the existing differences in his own way with his refractory subjects; or, at any rate, decline to render him the least assistance until satisfied that the Cashmerians are a little more anxious for his presence amongst them than would appear from the facts now known to be the case."

The market for imports has since our last exhibited but little animation, and the transactions generally have been on a limited scale. There has, of course, under these circumstances, been but slight improvement in prices. Those of cotton piece goods continue unaltered and most unsatisfactory. The stocks in the hands of the local dealers are, we believe, heavy, and until the com plete re-opening of the communication with the interior and the coast, which the late rains have tended to delay, it is hardly to be expected that any active demand will arise. Favourable accounts continue to be received from the generality of the agricultural districts. Metals—The sales of metals have been few, but the market is in a healthy state, and the limited nature of the business done arises mainly from the indisposition of holders to accept the current rates offered by dealers. In copper, sheathing, raised bottoms, and tiles, may be quoted somewhat higher than before-60 rupees per cwt. having been refused for the first, and 62 rupees for the second, of the above-named varieties. We have heard of no transactions; but stocks are light, and better prices will probably ere long be obtainable. In Swedish bar iron, a sale has, we hear, been made of 300 candies at 50i rupees per candy ; but the particulars have not been communicated to us for publication. In British bar, nail, rod, and sheet, we are apprised of no operations, but the two latter are a shade higher than the date of our last. The same may be said of hoop, of which, we understand, a sale has taken place at 7r. 2a. per cwt. Steel in tubs appears to have a downward tendency; in faggots it is without change; neither variety is at pre sent in demand. Lead, both pig and sheet, is in some request, and we believe a transaction has taken place in the former at 11r. 2a. per cwt. Of the latter, which we quote half a rupee per cwt. higher than before, there is now little or none in the market. Spelter has of late been in some demand. Quicksilver, owing to the firm ness of holders, has advanced 18 rupees per maund. The price of Tin Plates remains stationary at 16 rupees, our former quotation, no sales of the article having taken place. Cotton Manufactures—The market for these goods has been dull, and but little inquiry has been manifested for any description of fabrics, save 45-inch gray cloths of a coarse and heavy kind, and 40-inch heavy do mestics. For these former prices have been obtained; but the few sales in other fabrics have been somewhat under previous rates. There have been few transactions, in prints or died goods, the prices offered for such con tinning unremunerative. Cotton Yarns—There have been but few sales either in mule or water twist, nor do prices exhibit any marked change. We quote No. 20 mule a little in advance of previous rates. Woollens—The market for woollen cloths continues without animation, and neither in prices nor in demand have we any change to intimate. Marine Stores—White paint has somewhat improved in value, while black remains without alteration. Pitch has declined about half a rupee per cwt. Other articles under this head are unchanged in price. Beer—The demand for beer is languid. The sales of Allsopp's since the Ist inst. amount to 200 hhds. at 60 rupees per hhd. We quote Tennant's at 4.5 to 48 rupees per hhd., at both which rates transactions have bad effect. Spirits—These are but in moderate request, and owing to the very low prices offering, little or nothing has been done. The stocks in importers' hands are large. Red Lead—We are informed of a sale of 150 casks of red lead at 13 rupees per cwt., and now quote the article at that rate. White is without change, at 15 rupees per cwt. Saffron—There is a good inquiry for the higher qua lities of this article, and the price has still farther im proved, 181 rupees per lb. being now obtainable for the first quality. Of this, however, there appears to be but little in the market, and what there is importers are holding for higher prices. Low qualities are difficult of sale. Cochineal—This may now be quoted at 3r. sa. per lb., a slight further improvement on last month's rate. EASTERN PRODUCE. Cotton—There has latterly been rather more done in this staple for shipment to the English markets. Prices have somewhat given way, but this is rather owing to the depreciated quality of the stock at market than to any actual decline in value. The following are the cur rent rates : Broach and Jumbooser 75i to 76rs. per candy. Surat ... 77 do. do. Dollera ... 72 do. do. Oomrawuttee ... 75 do. do. Comptah (old) ... 71 do. do. We hear of a purchase of 1,000 bales of broach for the Liverpool market, at 76rs. per candy. Coffee—Mocha, has slightly declined ; the present price being Brs. per maund. In Malabar there is no change to notice. Ginger has improved in price about lOrs. per candy of 51 cwt. (7 Sul?s.)

(From the Englishman's Weekly Price Current.) CALCUTTA, SEPT. 14, 1846.—We have but little change to report since our last. Imports continue to move off slowly, nor do we now see much probability of an im proved demand beingexperienced previous to thePoojah. In produce a moderate amount of business is doing, the decline in exchange having brought several purchasers into the market, notwithstanding the high prices still demanded by holders. Exchange continues steady about Is. I*. to is. 11d. per rupee for good 10 months' date paper, at which rates some extent of business has already been done for the mail. In Government Securities and Bank Stock we have not heard of any extensive opera tions, nor have they been in much inquiry lately ; the quotations are, however, much the same as last week, say for the 2d or 3d five per cents. from 0.8 anima to 3r. premium, and for the Sicea and Company's Four ker Cents. from 5.8 to 8 8 discount. The extensive ship ments of grain to the Mauritius have taken off a portion of the superfluous tonnage, but there are still many more vessels available for Great Britain than the busi ness doing at present appears capable of employing, and rates have again given way slightly, but little dead weight being procurable above 31. 15s. to 41. per ton, with every probability of a more material decline within the next week. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PonTsmotrrn, OCT. 23.—The Comet steamer, Lieu ,enant-Commanding Ch ar l es R. J o h nson, sailed last evening for Ireland, where she is to be employed under the orders of Commissary-General Hewetson. She has been armed to be prepared for attack or defence, if necessary. The officers and crews of the Avenger steam-frigate, Captain W. Williams, have been turned over to the Amphion, 36, steam-frigate, at Woolwich, and took passage to-day with their baggage in the provision depot Belvidere, Master-Commanding P. Wellington, to join her. The latter was towed out of harbour to-day by the Echo, and sailed for Deptford, where she embarks provisions for the coast of Scotland. The semaphore telegraph on the Port-Admiral's house, in the dockyard, to communicate with the flag-ship, has recently been removed from one of the wings to the top of the central building, where a " hurricane house" is in the course of construction for the shelter of the men employed in working it, it having been once blown off in a gale, fortunately without damage. If great care is not taken in securing it, a heavy gale will be likely to send it into some of the streets in Portsea. The removal of the apparatus from the wing to the top of the main building is caused by the progress of the erection of the new boat-house, which stands directly in the way of the line of communication from the wing of the mansion to the Victory and flag-ship in the harbour. To surmount this difficulty, the above alteration is in progress. OCT. 29.—The Gladiator steam-frigate, Captain Robb, went out of harbour at daylight this morning, and having taken on board her powder, shot, shells, &c„ left this afternoon to join the squadron of Vice-Admiral Sir William Parker (for whom she carries Admiralty despatches of importance), off Lisbon. She also took out reinforcements and letters for the ships of the squa dron. The Naiad coal and store ship, for Callao, was com missioned this morning, by Mr. W. L. Brown, Master (1831), who is appointed to command her. The Sappho, 16, Commander Gambier, will be stripped to her girtlines this evening. The Cambrian, 36, was brought alongside the jetty this morning, to take on board her iron ballast. The Echo tug returned into harbour last evening, after towing the Belvidera out clear of the Owers, and was immediately despatched out again, to tow in an American ship, disabled outside of the Isle of Wight, which she took down to Cowes, to which port her cargo belonged.

Her Majesty's ship Eurydice, 26, Captain Anson, arrived yesterday afternoon from Portsmouth, and has subsequently sailed again.

Wolfe, arrived yesterday from Irelard, and sailed for Portsmouth. Her Majesty's steamer Stromboli, Commander Fisher, sailed yesterday for Waterford. WHITTINGTON CLUB AND METROPOLITAN ATHE• Nmu3r.—The first general meeting of the members of this infant institution took place last evening at the Hall of Commerce, Threadneedle-street. The enrolment of busi ness of this meeting commenced, nearly 100 having been enrolled ; and there were then about 250 members pre sent, including several ladies. The chair was taken, at about half-past seven o'clock, by Mr. William Howitt, amidst the most loud and general applause. Mr. G. W. which acknowledged the obligations of the institution to the press generally, for their favourable notices. Up wardsago,continuedprovisionalsince committee, the of 500 members, it was stated, had been proposed for enrolment, and many others had expressed their de termination to become members when a site was chosen for the institution. Appended to the report was a series of resolutions, defining the objects, settling the rules of the institution, and appointing a committee of upwards of 70 ladies and gentlemen to manage the affairs of the club, until the annual meeting in May next. The sixth resolution anthorised the committee to take steps for opening, as early as might be, two institutions,—one as near as possible to the Royal Exchange. and the other to Temple-bar. The report being received, the resolu tions were moved and seconded seriatim, and, after considerable discussion on some of them, unanimously adopted. trial of THE BERWICK BANK ROBBERY: The Berwi ck Jane Thomson, charged with the robbery cu o m n Tuesday last. The extraordinary te c n ir Bank, took place at Berwick sessions mentioned in the s o t fthe ence a Monday of and the Thomson, it robbery, which have been . s n o of wife of the manager of the it will be remembered, magis trates, n te c a used newspapersdu therin is t e •ht of the 20th of crowded. Mrs. e e fo mb r ear_ bank k t . h T e sha August Berwick Bank, and on the n i ght last, during his absencefrom 3 000/ ' ag w ia as . opened, and a sum exceeding , In gold and notes g Co th u e rt e t x o a h m b e i_ li c a o r t m o i was abstracted. The whole of the money was afterwards discovered concealed in various parts of the house; a l arg e portion of it having been found w ithi n M rs . Thom son's bed. By the evidence of the female servant, who slept with Mrs. Thomson on the night of the robbery, it appeared that her mistress got up in the middle of the night, and was absent from the room a long time, and when she returned she said there were two men in. the yard, and attempting to enter the premises, and yet she would not give an alarm. One of the peculiari ties of the case, and which tended to strengthen the suspicion against the prisoner was, that the safe could not have been opened without removing a long bolt, one end of which passed into her bedroom, and could not have been moved without her knowing it, bad she been in the room at the time. On the morning after the rob bery a cash-box was found in the yard, left open, w ith some bank-notes in it, an d a ladder lying near Mr. Grainger, who w as counsel for the prisoner, alleged the improbability that she should have committed the rob bery, and urged that the circumoances of suspicion were stronger against the two servants, in whose evidence there were many discrepancies. The Recorder summed up in favour of the prisoner, and the jury returned a verdict of not guilty. The verdict was received with much applause and some disapprobation by a crowded Court, and Mrs. Thomson and her husband were warmly congratulated by their friends present. There has been little change in the rates of freight to Great Britain, which may now'be quoted at 3L tos. to 31. 15s. per ton to London and Liverpool. The rate offered to China is at 4 per candy.
