This Company has Victoria Colony and its vicinity , such a s y stem of inland conveyance for merchandize, agricultural produce, passengers, &c., as the ra pidly increasing commerce and population absolutely require. Iu the first week of July, upwards of 400 tons of goods were shipped here for the interior of Victoria; and, according to late ad vices, as much as 901. per ton have been charged for the carriage of one ton of goods from Melbourne to the diggings, a distance of about 70 miles. while in England the averae price of carriage is only one shining per ton per mile ! And when it is remembered that on the 25th August forty-one vessels were entered at the Cus tom House, London, for Port Philip, with a tonnage of 21,080 tons, no doubt can possibly exist as to the actual necessity for the imme diate introduction of a comprehensive system of inland con veyance, or of the profits which will arise from its adoption. Careful estimates of the outlay, traffic returns, wear and tear, in come, &c., &c., have been compiled from the best sources, and examined and anproved by the directors; but for greater security they have thought it right to submit those estimates to a gentleman, whose great practical experience in carrying business justifies them In regarding his opinion as an authority on the subject, and he has reported that the estimates, after providing 15 per cent. per annum dividend, and a large annu a l sur pl us t o prof i t f or extended opera tions, will give the Company a sound financial position, and that " the undertaking is highly practical, sound in its general features, and likely to be productive, under proper management, of the most satisfactory results." Copies of the estimates may be inspected at the Company's Offices, and at the principal provincial Brokers of the Company. Sheds and Warehouses for imported goods will be constructed on an extensive scale, for the accommodation of the public, as well as for th,e Servl..; of he rompan• , Trirriry become necessary for the Company, iti furtherance of their Carrying Business, to provide stations and hotels, and powers will be reserved for that purpose ; but it must not be supposed that they will at present he of an expulsive or permanent character, as they will be constructed in this country, and moveable, so that, as the locality Ar business is varied by the growing importance of any particular place, they may be easily transported as may be required. A Colonial Committee will direct the local management of the Company, and all officers entrusted with the administration of the Company's funds or affairs, will be required to provide approved security for the due account of moneys, and the faithful discharge of their duties. The Directors are much gratified that they have been enabled to secure the services of the three gentlemen above named on the Colonial Committee, and to announce that the Chairman, Chris topher Porter, Esq., will sail for Port Philip on the sth of October, to carry out the Company's arrangements.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe. The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under the personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few legally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short, every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and ultimate curo are described in detail. The professional reputation of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and Inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these eases.

Early in October will be published, Volume Third of MISS AGNES STRICKLAND'S LIVES of the QUEENS of SCOTLAND, and English Princesses connected with the Royal Succession. This volume of Miss Agnes Strickland's Royal Biographies contains the commencement of a personal Life of Mary Stuart, which it is believed will be found more authentic and complete than any which has yet appeared. The collection and arrangement of materials for it was commenced many years ago—even before the publicatien of the Lives of the Queens of England. It comprises an amount of curious and important information hitherto inedited, the fruits of long and arduous research in the State Paper Offices of England, Scotland, France, and other nations, and in the charter-chests of the descendants of the noble families of Great Britain ancestrally con nected with that momentous period. The result is a Biography which is likely to be the crowning work of Miss Stricklanfl's great national undertaking. Vols. I. and 11. contain the Lives of Margaret Tudor, Magdalene of France, Mary of Lorraine, and Margaret Douglas, Countess of Lennox. The Series will be completed in Six Volumes, post Bvo., embel lished with Portraits and Historical Vignettes, price 10s. 6d. each. William Blackwood and Sons, Edinburgh and London.

This is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851. —" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little hook, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Sperms torrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately described, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular, May 5, 1852. —" We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preliminary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate price at which the ' brochure is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."—Dublin Medical Press, April 18,1852.

After thanking the bur gesses for the honour they had done him, and ex pressing his wish to follow in the footsteps of his late father in his patronage of the public institutions of Arbroath, the Noble Lord then proceeded to notice public affairs thus :—While I have seen, and while you have seen, other countries shaken to their foun dations by bloody revolutions, the liberties of the people entirely extinguished, and those of the press fettered and gagged, we have seen nothing of the kind in this great and happy country of our own. And why, gentlemen, is that so P Simply be cause the people themselves have seen that with their growing intelligence, their increasing capacity to govern themselves and take part in the government of their country, the rulers and advisers of the Sovereign have been anxious to ad vance in progress, and confer privileges and advan tages wherever hey could be possibly and safely administered. Whether I speak to those who are Conservative in politics or those who are for more rapid progress in all that concerns our political career, I may decidedly say that it would be for the benefit of all that the policy of this country should continue to be one of progress.—(Cheers.) It is in vain in this day to think of standing still. It is in vain, still more in vain, to think of going back on the road along which we have come. As well might we propose to lower all those long chimneys by which I am sur rounded, and turn out all the busy bees of industry that swarm beneath them, and return to the old sys tem of the hand-loom, as seek to retrograde in the course of policy we are now pursuing. As well might we think of putting down the railways and again setting up the old mail coach, or of super seding the power of the paddle and trusting to that of the old flagging sail. Such a change would not now be tolerated; and the question is, are we to stand still or go on ? Now, my notion, as one deeply interested in the possession and protection of property in this country, is, that if I attempt to stand still I raise up behind the dam which I erect a flood of water that will soon sweep me and my pro perty before it.—(Applause.) But if I give free and constitutional scope to the stream to flow on in the manner in which it may be well and usefully directed, then I am sure that all I have at stake is safe, and I , rest myself on this conviction and this opinion, that the more the people gain by constitutional and all free and liberal reforms, the less likely am I to lose any thing of the stake in the country which it has pleased Providence to give me.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I may congratulate you in this great town upon the good effects which another system of policy has had among you—l mean the liberal commercial policy which has been directed, first of all, to cheapen the food of the people, and, next, to enable the working classes to obtain that in the cheapest market which they were formerly compelled to seek in the dearest. lam quite convinced that that policy has led to a vast increase of happiness, to a vast increase of comfort, and to a vast extension of contentment in this our native country. I believe that it has made many a cottage fireside where penury and want used formerly to pinch to senile, not only with plenty, but, in some instances, with the luxuries of life. I believe that it has made many of the population more contented than they formerly were ; and of this I am perfectly certain, that it has given a triumph to justice and to right through out the country, which we never had so long as we were oompelled to repair to the dearest markets for the purchase of articles of food.—(Hear.) In many respects this commercial policy has to be carried out to its just and fair issue. And lam quite sure of this, that whoever may hold the reins of government —whether her Majesty's present Ministers, or those from whom this policy first sprang—no Government in this country can either retreat on the steps that have been taken, or fail to follow out that system commonly called free trade.—(Cheers.) I am ready to admit that in the great change which the policy of 1846 brought about there could not fail to be some who would suffer in the transition that took place; and I have no hesitation in bearing full testimony, and giving full credit, to the manner in which many of the tenant-farmers in the country bore the change which took place in their circumstances by would o val of import duties which the country no —(Cheers.) longer tolerate. But whether it be to the increased de vised means for the cultivation of the soil —this I energy of that class—or whether it be to betterthisknow, that, to all external appearance at least, agricul ture is as much sought after by the people °I . country as a means of earning their bread as ever,_ for -rent alamiledrcaatati.ialeekcom at present there is no land in the market. — There has been no land vacant throughout Scotland where the general remark has not been made' that if it were taken, higher prices would be given than have been received for the last four or five u l i e fu a st r lai s n . ce l s prices;afnn o b utadvocateafte after all, lt,hleanletting only l o y f modity, and we must judge of its chesen,ess the e de f a a r c - t of the e o t' ti i m ts e d s, em an a d n d wh o e r n re w j eectsieoen, nbnyatrhtiecleetric.n speculation in that de mand we must admit that the article is a fair one ; and, therefore, from the cir cumstances to which I have alluitdeids of land being let so readily as S.

Agriculture must depend on commerce, w l e and ma f y eel b t e ha a t and commerce and MUM.. ssounreed, tint factures must, to a great extent, depend on our agri culture ; and I trust the whole three will cordially go hand in hand. The farmers, hants, and manu facturers will consider this —that their interests are bound up in one, and that what is injurious to the one cannot fail to be injurious to the other also. After Arbroath complimenting the people of on their good I citizenship, the Noble Lord a sal in conclusion : Look at France. During the last few years she has undergone no fewer than three revolutions. First of all she threw off a King who lived under the old sys tem, the old rule of France, and placed another on the throne, with somewhat of a constitutional shadow of government. Not content with that, not many years afterwards she cast off that King and that shadow of constitutional government, and rushed into a state of the bloodiest anarchy, an d all in the sacred name of Liberty : and now she is pleased to yield herself up to the despotism of one person. Her press is gagged, and every rag:of the flag of liberty is torn from the pole to which it once seemed nailed. That is a lesson for us. Liberty does not consist in licentiousness, nor freedom in revolution. I believe we live under the best system of government that human means ever devised—where the Crown cannot trample on the rights of the people, and where I trust the people will not attempt to trample on the just privileges of the Crown ; for be assured that under the constitutional machinery of the country in which we have the hap piness to live, all the just claims, all the fair rights and proper demands of the people—though from this circumstance or that they may be checked—must ultimately be conceded, and with the rising intelli gence of the great mass of the people of this country, the political privileges enjoyed by a certain number of the inhabitants must soon and speedily be consider ably developed.—(Cheers.)

On Friday last we published a telegraphic dispatch, via Trieste, in anticipation of the Overland Mail. We have now received our letters and papers by the Marseilles route, dated Bombay, September 1 : " The Burmah reinforcements were all on their way to Madras and Calcutta for embarkation, and transports were being hired for their conveyance to Rangoon and Moulmein. " Emigration from Bombay to Australia was about to commence. Upwards of 150 soldiers are said to have applied for their discharge from her Majesty's 86th to proceed to the diggings.' " A riot occurred in the city of Benares on the evening of the 2d of August. The magistrate was pelted with stones and brickbats; as were also the General and several officers and other Europeans who had to cross the bridge. "A couple of companies of the 33d Native In fantry and the detachment of the 11th Irregular Cavalry were speedily on the spot. " The affair was a bloodless one. " The army which will be assembled in Pegu in the month of November will consist of more than 20,000 men—that is, six regiments of European foot, twelve regiments of native infantry, and a full com• plement of artillery, as well as sappers and miners. "Ist Bengal Brigade, now at Rangoon, com manded by Lieutenant-Colonel Reynolds. 18th Royal Irish, 40th Native Infantry, 67th Native In fantry.

Colonel Huish, C. 8 .; an d th e Li g ht Fi e ld Battery The following is the letter of a correspondent at Bombay, dated September 1 "I mentioned in my last that the Commodore had dispatched a flotilla, consisting of five light steamers, under the command of Captain Tarleton, to survey the Irrawaddy as far as Prome, and to ascertain the position and proceedings of the enemy. General Godwin appears to have been opposed to the proceed ing. 'Unfortunately,' says the Friend of India, that kind of misunderstanding between the military and naval commanders, which seems inseparable from all our expeditions in which they are conjointly em ployed, appears to have broken out on the present occasion at Rangoon. The Commodore was there fore obliged to undertake this enterprise, not only without any co-operation, but, if we are to judge from the letters sent round by various correspondents to various journals, amid much disapprobation.' It is stated that the Commodore had for some time urged the advantage of en immediate advance during the monsoon, and by water, and that he had guaranteed to land 2,000 men at Prome within five days; but it is understood that General Godwin was desirous of an undivided triumph, and that he considered the advance should be made entirely by land, and declined the responsibility of moving forward at all until the dry weather had set in, and the force under his command had been trebled. The Governor- General's visit to Rangoon is supposed to have bad reference to those differences of opinion between the two commanders, and from the circumstance of a portion of the troops which, at General Godwin's requisition had been placed in orders for Burmah, having been countermanded since Lord Dalhousie's return, and from the collection of boats and other preparations at Rangoon, it is surmised that the Governor-General has adopted the Commo dore's views rather than those of General Godwin. Captain Tarleton's flotilla advanced without opposi tion until, at Kenney Gewn, a small battery opened on them; the steamers stopped and returned the compliment, but finding after half an hour's firing that they were unable to make any impression they proceeded on their course, having bad Lieute nant Elliott and one private of Marines wounded. On the following day the steamers came in sight of A-kouk-toung, where the Burmese force for the defence of Promo was posted. The position was a very strong one, extending for two miles along a rocky criff rising abruptly 200 or 300 feet above the water on the right bank of the river. It was de fended by 35 heavy guns, which completely com manded the channel, there 400 or 500 yards wide. The position was held by a force said to have been originally 40,000 men, under a son of the great Bun doola of the former war, but from desertion, caused by the scarcity of provisions incidental to our com mand of the river, the force by the time of the arrival of the steamers had become very much reduced—the highest estimates stating it at only 10,000 men, and the lowest at 2,000. " To have forced their way past this strong posi tion,' writes an officer who was present, the steamers would have found a difficult undertaking ; from its height our guns could not have been sufficiently ele vated, while, from the strength of the current, the vessels would have been, for a couple of hours, exposed to the fire of thirty-five pieces of ord nance . Fortunately, just as they were entering the pas sage, a native came off, and loffered ,to show a small creek (forming an eastern channel, made by a long island opposite the Burmese position), through which they could pass, which offer was gladly ac cepted, and the steamers entered the river again far to the north of, and well clear of A-kouk-toung. The following morning they were off Prome, and not an armed man to be seen. Information soon came off that all the troops had gone to A-kouk toung, never dreaming that we could give them the slip as had been done. Offers were readily made to ' show where the guns were. Accordingly, a party was landed, who quietly and unmolestedly took pos session of 23, consisting of 42, 32, 24, and 12- pounders. The 20 iron guns were destroyed and thrown into the river, and the three brass ones sent down to Rangoon. The following morning the whole commenced their return, and as they approached A-kouk-toung considerable anxiety was felt to see if the enemy bad moved over to line the creek, but no such attempt had been made.' On clearing the creek, Captain Tarleton surprised the rear of Bun doola's army, with a large number of war-boats and state barges, in the act of being transported to the left bank of le river, evidently with the intention of marching up to the protection of Prome. His troops were found in confused masses in boats, and along each aide of the river, and the shot and shell from the steamers told fearfully on them, and spread dismay among the Burmese ranks; those in the boats jumped overboard, and every man hastened to flee. Between 40 and 50 boats containing warlike stores were captured, set on fire, and totally destroyed. In repassing the formidable-looking works of A-kouk toung Captain Tarleton observed that they had a de serted appearance, and that the guns seemed to have been carried away; he therefore landed with a party to reconnoitre, and found that the troops had all marched away to defend Prome, but had not carried away the guns, which were merely withdrawn from the embrasures, and laid down behind the parapet, so as not to be visible from the river. The guns, 28 in number, were immediately taken possession of, and put on board the steamers; thus making a total of 56 guns taken at and near Prome, which it is remarked must be a pretty good drain on the Burmese Ordnance Department ; seventeen war boats were also taken found moored to the bank, some containing gunpowder. Much powder and other military stores were also destroyed at Prome, the in habitants assisting voluntarily in their destruction, and also in removing the guns. Captain Tarleton was informed at Prome that there were no Burmese troops or other preparations for resistance between that place and Ava, and that, in fact, the Burmese did not expect the progress of the English to be more rapid than in the last war, and ba d, therefore, as yet, organised no means of resistance in the upper country. Prome is within five days' s t ea ming of Ass, b u t Captain Tarleton had positive orders to advance no further than the former place. The inhabitant s of Prome stated that the price of rice bad risen at Ave from lr. to sr. a basket, in consequence of our com mand of the river. The natives continue to assist us by every means in their power. The entire body of the people, says the correspondent of the Englishman, as one man, long for our rule ; indeed it is well known, that the Kariens had been in the habit for some time past of meeting in the jungles at night, at certain appointed times, and pray ing together that the British might come and wrest their country from the Burmese, their cruel masters, and impose on them their own mild and just govern ment.' The Governor-General left Calcutta on the 21st of July, and returned on the 6th of August. Numerous councils were held during his visit to Rangoon. Nothing authentic has oozed out as to what took place at these meetings with reference to an immediate advance. As usual in such cases, there is no lack of reports on both sides of the question, some of them very circumstantial. The correspondent of the Englishman says :—' It is pretty well known here that the Governor-General intimated to the General his wish that troops should be sent to retake and occupy Promo, as soon as arrangements would na..,:. ~c'::. .- 41.:1 .1.- 1...-. ...,..m.a_ - hil urnnirl nnf hold himself responsible for anything done before De. cember. It remains to be s ee n whose will will prevail.' In another part of this letter he, however, writes, 'lt is evident that preparations are being made, by the getting ready of boats, for a move up to Prome as soon as some more t roo p s came roun d. Th e Goung, , or head man of Kemendine, has, under orders of the Commodore, collected already 80 large boats; and the correspondent of the Calcutta Morning Chronicle states that a force consisting of the 18th Royal Irish and the 40th Native Infantry is to leave Rangoon shortly for the purpose of retaking and garrisoning the city of Prome. Other accounts state that General Godwin's views will be adopted in their integrity. According to the Bombay Time: an army of 20,000 men, consisting of 6 European and 12 Native Infantry regiments, with a full complement of artillery, sappers and miners, and comprising three Bengal and three Madras brigades, under the command of two generals of division, and th e w h o l e un d er G enera l G o d w i n, will be assembled at Pegue in the month of November. On the 4th of August the correspondent of the Englishman writes—' The general expectation which had been so highly raised that an immediate advance on Frame by troops in steamers would be made has been dashed to the ground, and every one is distil)• pointed and dissatisfied at the dilatory line of policy that seems to guide the movers of this expedition. It is not considered safe to withdraw troops from Ran goon so long as a large body of the enemy are at Shway-gyn, where they are said to be in great force. The first thing to be done will be to drive the Bur mese from that position; at any rate, to keep them in check, while a simultaneous advance is to be made upwards from this. Shway-gyn is in the Sittang river, to the north-east of Pegue.' . 'lt is now pretty well known here that no advance from this place on Prome can be made till instructions are received from the home authorities by the Governor-General to that effect. It seems odd that the Governor- General of India should not be invested with sufficient authority to enable him to carry on a war in an enemy's country as he thinks fit. Much precious time is now being lost.' In advocating delay, a land advance, and the necessity of large reinforcements, General Godwin seems to stand quite alone at Ran goon. The current report that the Commodore has declared that, if permitted, he would do all that is re quired with his blue jackets alone, is probably with out foundation, but the Burmese military correspon dents of the Indian papers (some of them officers on the staff of the expedition) all agree in repre senting the sense of the force to be unanimous in favour of an immediate advance to Prome with such troops as are at present available. There is not,' says one of them, one dissenting voice on the prevailing topic of conversation in Ran goon—that there is much valuable time being unne cessarily lost in not at once, indeed, in not having ere this, occupied Prome;' and, writing of an antici pated reinforcement of five regiments only, another letter says, The more the merrier, but the work might be done with half the number, if they would only set about it at once. Time, valuable time, is being lost; the waters of the Irrawaddy will soon begin to fall, and, unless we look sharp about it, Prome and every other inhabited place will be burnt. Notwithstanding the contradictory nature of these reports, the impression is general that two or three regiments will be immediately advanced to re-occupy Prome, and that the majority of the troops in orders for Burmah will stand fast, the five or six regiments only that are nearest the points of embarkation being immediately pushed on to Rangoon. It is surmised that as soon as the earlier of these arrive an expedition will be dispatched to disperse the Burmese force at Shway-gyn, and to occupy that post, and also Pegue, and that, leaving a small garrison at Rangoon, the re maining troops will be pushed on to Prome, and as much higher as possible by water before the river falls. " By the latest accounts Commodore Lambert, ac companied by Captain Rundall, of the Madras En gineers, was immediately to proceed in the Phlege thon towards Prome, on a reconnoisance, and it was expected the reoccupation of that place in force will immediately follow. It is not expected that more than 6,000 at most of 12,000 additional troops asked for by General Godwin, and in orders, will be actually embarked. All fears of troops being required to repel an invasion of Assam have been terminated by the spirited manner in which our frontier ally the Raja of Munipore has organized a force to bar the the passage of a Burmese army through his territo ries. It is presumed that his exertions will be ulti mately rewarded by a slice of Burmese territory. " There is no other public news of importance. Mr. H. W. Torrens, of the Bengal Civil Service, is dead. " The trade of the port has opened pretty briskly, and a considerable amount of business has been done during the month. Money is abundant. Emigra tion from Bombay to Australia is about to commence, and the ship Runnymede leaves on the 25th for Vic toria with a pretty large number of adventurers, among whom are several Anglo-Indian families." THE BURMESE WAR. (From the Bombay Times.) SUMMARY.—The intelligence from Burmah, dis patched by the present mail from Bombay, though auspicious, is antiquated ; all of importance we have to tell will have reached home already, and we only now revert to the capture of Prome, in which we must have been anticipated by contemporaries, to keep the thread of our narrative unbroken through our files. The month of August has, in consequence of the monsoon, been without a single direct dispatch from Bombay. Our last Summary bore date 24th July, and gave tidings from Rangoon to the 22d of June. At the date referred to the Governor-General was on the eve of visiting Burmah. He left Calcutta on the 21st of July, and returned on the 6th of August; and General Godwin had sent in a requisition, now iis process of being complied with, for an addition of 12,000 men to the force under his com mand. Prome was occupied on the 9th of July. Twenty-two guns, many of large calibre, were taken from the enemy by the steam flotilla in the Irrawaddy under the command of J. W. Tarleton, R.N. Flotilla attacked on the 7th by a strong force of the enemy at Konongee. Silenced enemy's fire in an hour, and the steamers proceeded. On the 10th fell in with the rear of General Bandola's army, and after an exchange of shots the enemy fled in great confusion, leaving the General's state barge, standard, two gold umbrellas, several large war canoes, and 90 prisoners in our possession. Casualties—Lieut. I. Elliott, Royal Marines; Mr. I. Morgan, assistant sur geon, her Majesty's steamer Fox, Mr. Hunter, 1.N., wounded severely ; Mr. Brayer, mate, 1.N., slightly. Twenty-eight guns were taken. The London jour nals still speak of the risks and delays attending or likely to attend our operations, while we see a little body of sailors sent out to survey the river, taking a town or so, and taking away with them a dozen or two of cannons, just as it were by way of pas time, and to show the Burmese the irresis tibility of our flotilla and contemptibleness of their defences against steam. regn and Prome have thus both been taken without resistence by bodies of men too small to keep them, and whose oc cupation of outposts so remote formed no part of the plan of the campaign; and so far a s it a p pears , C apt . Tarleton might have presented himself before the palace gates of Ave, and shown the sovereign the senselessness of resistance, in half the time he took in ascending from Rangoon to Prome. A force, consist ing—according to the Calcutta Morning Chronicle's correspondent — of the 18th Royal Irish and the 40th N a tive Infantry, is t o l eave R angoon s h ort l y f or t h e purpose of retaking and garrisoning the city of Prom. The troops continued as healthy as could be expected, though a considerable number of the Eu ropeans were laid up with dysentery. The 18th and wing of the 80th Foot had moved into the new bar racks prepared for them. After an interval of dry weather, heavy rain had fallen on the 31st July ; th! surrounding country was a perfect swamp. There ba r ! been a grand display on the landing of the Governo General on the morning of the 28th July. Du rin g .. his Lordship's stay at Rangoon several consultat ions had been held, the last having taken 050 8 with the heads of departments on the 31st, just before proceed ing on board the Fox to hold council with Com modore Lambert ; but nothing ine dispatc had , ? a o L zed . out as to what took place at these meetings.. h of the troops, above referred to, is be lieved to have re sultedlt is said th at no ad vance from one of them. is to be made from Promo till the reinforcements from Madras and Calcutta have reached Rangoon. The markets were well supplied with provisions of all kinds at moderate rates, and everything continued quiet at Rangoon and in the surrounding country. Several attempts had been made t o surpr i se M arta b an ; the Burmese fled on the discharge of the first round of Artillery with which they were greeted. Corn modore Lambert , accompanied by Captain Randall, of the Madras Engineers, were shortly to proceed in the Phlegethon towards Prome, the greater portion of w hi c h town was rep or t e d to have been destroyed by fire by the Burmese. A like fate had befallen the large town of Donabew. The enemy had taken up a position on the hill commanding the former city, but were reported to have only two guns to defend it. By the Ist October it was expected the town would be garrisoned by 6,000 British soldiers : the people were anxiously looking out for us to advance and take possession of their country.. The wing of her It_ - at... COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. THE BOMBAY MONEY-MARKET. (From the 24th of July to the 31st of August inclusive.) As in the West, so in the East, money increases is abundance. A few days back the Bank of Bombay lowered their rates of interest 1 per cent., and they now lend on Government Securities at 3 per cent. per annum. We notic a meeting of proprietors of this institution is convene r to-morrow, " for tho purpose of taking into cons eration a proposal for an application to Go vernment for a modification of the present Charter Act 3of 1840." It is understuod the meaning of this is, that they may be permitted to deal in exchanges with England, &c. and we have little hesitati on i n sa yi ng that the lion. Court of Directors will refuse to accede to any such request. There are many objections to their being perm itted to do a business in exchange; but what will weigh most wish the East India Company in their refusal to allow it is the fact that the chartered banks at the Presidencies aro the only ones who lend on Company's paper, and thereby keep up its respectabi lity and value. Again, the Bank of Bombay bas a monopoly of the note circulation which by last pub lished returns amounted to upwards of 400,0001.! and if they are to be allowed to send th e i r money to Eng land pay capital being all called up, their notes when a ' irresponsible for anythi ng be yond? During the last four or five years, we b el i eve, they have been " run" upon four times.

(From Campbell's Overland Price Current, Aug. 19.) The express with the Ist of July overland mail made its appearance on the night of the 16th inst. The com mercial intelligence which it conveyed shows that busi ness in general was proceeding less actively than before, doubtless owing to the agitation created by the elections. Consumption, however, continued favourable, and gene rally the stocks of colonial produce in the warehouses were less than they were at the same period in the pre vious year. Here the high rates of freight and the unsettled state of exchange have tended to curtail operations in country produce, although a fair business has been done in sugars, and as much i❑ raw silk as the supplies, which have been short, owing to the failure of the July band, would ad mit of. The transactions in rice, saltpetre, (=ails, saf flower, and jute for the British market have been limited. Hides continuo in active request; and oilseeds have boon going forward in fair quantities. The smaller articles of export, generally, have been neglected. In our import market a better tone is apparent, ao• companied by an improved demand. Grey shirting ad vanced two annas per piece, but afterwards dropped one anna. White figured skirtings are in bettor inquiry at improved value. Low white cambrics are rather more saleable at better prices. Low grey madapolloms are also a shade better. The finer sorts of jacconets are neglected, but the coarser descriptions are in good in quiry. Mule twist maintains its value, and the deli veries continue satisfactory, while stocks are decreasing. A large sale of British Turkey red dye is reported at the low value of 14 annas per lb. Copper is in active request, and sheathing has advanced to 38r. per md. Iron and spelter are in good demand. Lead and tin plates are inactive. Exchange has been fluctuating between 2-0 i to 2-0/ for credits—sometimes tending up, and sometimes down. It is understood that the business done for this mail has not been large. At going to press there was very little doing, and it remained doubtful whether any change would occur, buyers and sellers seeming apparently indifferent with respect to the transaction of business. Bank of England post bills, payable at sight, were offer ing at 2.0 i to 2-oi. Exchange with China is 222 r. to 224 r. per 100 dolls., with documents of opium, and with cotton and saltpetre documents 218 r. to 220 r. The money market continues well supplied, and loans are still procurable on easy terms. The share market remains firm. The directors of the India General River Steam Company have published their report for the six months of 1852, in which they state their intention of proposing, at the coming meeting, a dividend of 30r. per share. The shares of this company have advanced to 350 r. each, and are not easily procurable. Company's paper has slightly fallen in value, and New Fives now stand at . 6 per cent. premium. Freights have kept pretty well up to our former quo tations. They now are 41. 10s. to, 41. 15s. sugar, and 41. be. naltpetro, to London. The general prospects of the indigo crop have not improved since the date of our last report. Jessore is closing with, if any difference, smaller expectations than those entertained 12 days ago. No improvement has taken place in the hopes of the Purneah, Bhaugulpore, Burdwan, and Bhaguretty planters—whose prospects ate now unfortunately placed beyond the influence of the finest weather. Maldah, as we stated before, has closed fairly, and Dacca has finished with nearly as much as she made last year. The Tirhoot planters continue to write despondingly of their prospects; the returns from the first cuttings there are estimated at scarcely half of those of the preceding season, and it is apprehended that the second cuttings will not prove productive. The whole of this district, it is supposed, will not yield more than 15,000 or 16,000 mds. against 30,000 last year; indeed, we have seen some estimates somewhat lower. We now turn with pleasure to the bright side of the picture. Kishnaghur is at full work, manufacturing under favour able atmospheric influences, and the yield from the vats is more than ordinarily abundant. Oar advices from the upper provinces are also of a cheerful tenour, and they are getting very good produce there also. As we said on a former occasion, we have lost all faith in esti mates and distrust appearances; we are, therefore, ex tremely reluctant to give any figured opinion as to final results, but we may venture to state that, taking into consideration the reduction which must undoubtedly be made in the produce of Jessore, Burdwan, Bhaugni pore, the Baugerutty factories, Purneah, and Tirboot as compared with last season, allowing 2,ooomds. 0 r 3,oooreds. more for the Agra Presidency, an e q ual quantity as in 1851-52 for Maldah and Rishnaghur, and a little less for Dacca and the extreme casters dis tricts, it is evident that a large slice must be taken frost last year's figure of 131,000mds. The bet informed par ties are of opinion that the total out -turn will be about 1,05,000md5., and we are ourselve s incl ined to the same opinion (of course allowing a margin of a few thousand maunds either way for the chances of the weather), but we would advise our friends rather to judge for them than from any esti sme l a v t e e s s f f r r o o m m t t h h e i sfqacsatsriaorb.ove given OF THE TERMINUS OF SHE NORTHERN RAILWAY. °P:2O2VoGIiVpORtiGEinAg GREA T NORTHERN the stupendous railway terminus at line form to, those brin Ki ng 's -cross for public traffic and business is now defi nitivelyl ,I it e wass s r s. intendedj fi a fixed e a d nd f thiso t r hcaot. :p es day rhfeo urml should performed e th e iro p fortnight, end epd t al h rao e tr l 001, 8 f t rb h i dot insta nt. hedyei letirisot. the Ist of October, and although the contractors, the tract by having a line laid to enable the engineers of_t . opportunity. bring a n enginegent l emen d i da c 1 inotri train g themselvesoskrirniooffif north-westernic e os. grossing.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. TlMES.—Under the able tuition of Dr. M'Hale, and in furtherance of the " solid peace and prospe rity" so sincerely promoted by this exemplary prelate, the Irish are invited to add to the national accom plishment of organized murder the desirable engage ments of systematic rapine. We are profoundly con scious of the difficulty attending every attempt to in vest the declamations of Ireland's agitators with the interest of stern realities ; but, as a document has found its way to light which even Dr. M'Hale's au dacity had destined for privacy, we may as well turn the accident to some advantage, and bespeak the at tention of English readers to the object last selected for attainment by the creatures of English conces sion. The character in which these bigotted and intolerant Papists—these denouncers of every creed but their own—these sworn and banded persecutors of dissent, have resolved to come forward, is that of " Friends of Religious Equality." Subtle and versatile as is the genius of Popery, we doubt whether any Pa pist, except an Irish Papist, would venture to present himself to the world as a professed leveller of all reli gions in the eyes of the State. A week has hardly elapsed since our columns recorded a sentence of slavery pro nounced against two miserable Tuscans for no other crime, imputed or declared, than that of exercising a private judgment on the lessons of the Gospel, and yet Dr. APHale, acknowledging allegiance to this very code, and indignant that he cannot introduce these identical laws into the government of his coun try, expatiates on the virtues of spiritual equality, talks respectfully of " other denominations of Chris tians," and liberally recognises " three great divi sions" in the religions of Ireland. The "Friends of Religious Equality" having thus constituted and styled themselves, proceed consistently to adopt as their mission the destruction and spoliation of the Irish Church Establishment, and we yesterday pub lished the " private and confidential" circular in which the best method of action was submitted to the dis cussion of the conspirators. In this precious docu ment several violations of " equality" are gravely stigmatized as absolutely unendurable. Those who forbid the erection of a place of worship at Rome complain of the " prohibition attaching in this country to certain spiritual functions ;" those who will not permit even a Popish layman to dis charge any office of government condemn the reggu lations excluding certain religionists from particular places of state, and those whose ineffaceable charac teristic is unscrupulous proselytism,.denounce the " dark and dangerous agency of sectarian injustice" in making religions converts. But the prime con sideration of all is the method of seizing the Irish Church property, and dealing with it when obtained. The Irish confederates are modest enough to think that before their concerted rapine can be legalized it will be requisite to make out a case, not only for the plunder, but for the desired appropriation of the spoil ; and they sagaciously foresee some difficulty in the task. " Some gentlemen," says the circular, " are for the withdrawal of all public funds from all religious bodies." These "gentlemen," however, are not Irish gentlemen ; nor is this equality of destitution by any means the equality which Dr. M'Hale approves. " Others, again," says the manifesto of the committee, "are of opinion that these revenues should be applied to the relief of the poor ;" but, as this proposition would operate to the direct benefit of landlords, and as the distribution of the funds thus obtained would not be effected through the machinery of the Popish priesthood, it finds no favour in the eyes of these re ligious Jacobins. The " education of the people "is the third alternative suggested ; but the increase of enlightenment which might follow upon so large an extension of instruction is by no means an agreeable prospect to those who have done their best to stop all teaching whatever. When we say that the fourth suggestion is characterised as " very obvious," "sim ple," and " equitable," the reader will anticipate that it provides for the transfer of all the existing church endowments to that particular community which, for equality's sake, is anxious to despoil the present pos sessors. This modest proposal is coloured by a hint that the proceeds might be distributed among the " re ligious denominations " of Ireland according to their respective numbers, and its attractions are qualified by a reflection that perhaps the State might require the performance of some public duties in consideration of such public endowments; but it is plainly the gist of the whole scheme, though even Irish agitators are oompwlled to conclude that " great caution is nPees sary" in a "matter" like this. Such are the inten tions of the new " Friends of Religious Equality" sit ting in " preparatory committee" at Dublin. Instead of circumstantially exposing a piece of impudence which, even in Ireland, is little less than prodigious, we tender the Sackville- s tr ee t cous pir a t o rs a littl e plain advice. Dr. M'llale partakes enough of the serpent's wisdom to kn ow w h a t h e is ab ou t, an d, i n his freely-worded estimates of ourselves, he has been pleased to say that we speak the mind of the English people. We hope the character is not generally undeserved, and we can assure him that it is thoroughly merited in the remarks which follow. Irish agitators, whether priestly or political, have had their day. They can utter no menace which will create the smallest alarm, and threaten no extremity which will not be quietly accepted. We have learnt what con- , cession did in the case of Emancipation ; its fruits, indeed, are before us at this very moment. We have found what firmness effected in one or two cases since, and these results are very preferable to the former. The new confederates will not obtain that " religious equality" which consists in endowing a sect sworn to extirpate all others with the substantial means of promoting its ends. They will not be re leased from those " spirit ua l p ro hibi t i ons " w hi c h th e Imperial Parliament has thought it necessary to enact. They will not be permitted to acquire any further political power or to exert injuriously what they possess already. On these points the British na- . tion is steadily reso l ve d, an d it possesses the means of enforcing its resolution. Dr. M'Hale and his fellow conspirators are trifling with a power which can any day reduce them to nothing. At this very moment we believe a numerical majority of the population would be prepared to undo the work of 1829, and to encounter without apprehension the alternatives at which the Government of that day was dismayed. It requires all the argument and all the skill of liberal politicians to restrain the temper of a insult, and provoked by aggression, irritated by and convinced of its previous error by the evidence of experiment. The Irish priests have done far more than Lord Winchilsea or Lord Eldon ever did to show that Popish constituencies are wholly unfit for the exercise of the electoral franchise. The strong tra ditional prepossessions of the English people are confirmed by unmistakable facts, and when they see some three score Members returned from Ireland as the avowed and notorious delegates of a mischievous priesthood, they are irresistibly led to conclude that such seats are more destructive to the imperial in terests than any rotten boroughs. The privileges conceded by emancipation have been hitherto pro tected by that sense of right which originally recom mended them, and by that dread of disturbance which all sober communities entertain; but, if the " right" of the question stands convicted by the issue, and dis turbance proves the fruit rather of concession than control, this policy is likely enough to be exchanged for another.
