Fl[ l ,—The past wet-k's racing at Doncaster has been, With out except i on, one o f the best, ever witnnshed there, notwithstanding that the field), for the most part, have been below the average in siz The Ftzsilliatn Handicap, on Tuesday, was won %%Iv cleverly by halt a length by Alfred the Great. Thi; 'vas a mile ,pin. On the following day the Great Alfred makes good running for above a mile on the St. Leger course, and yesterday finishes his week's work by making the pace goo d f or a m il e o f t h e di stance in his race with I. 'ngbosv. From these performances some of the talent augur that his chance is undeniably a superior one for the Cambridgeshire. I agree with them in this opinion, and think th at th e h orse w ill see a short price in the bettin g for that race. Ifungerford's perforraancls in the races for the Great Yorkshire Handicap aml D )(waster Cup would have made him the favourite for the Cambridgeshire, but for the drawback of having a penalty to carry which will make his weight 73t 61b: not stiff enough, in my opinion, to entirely knock his chance over, though spoiling it very considerably. Vindex's extraordinary running for the Champagne Stakes, coupled with his other feats, will prevent him getti ng in any handicap this year or next spring, at any thing like a winning weight. The Reiver's exhibition must be looked closely into before any decisive opinion can be given concerning it. Stockwell's performance in the St. Leger makes the Grand Duke Michael Stakes at Newmarket a certainty for hi m. Evadne's victory in the Cleveland Handicap, giving 211 bs to Br awn , is good enough to entitle her to some g onsideration for the Cambridgeshire. Bird-'7' , n-the-Wing won the Park Hill Stakes so very e asily, that her chance for the Cesarewitch at 7st 31b Would not seem to be altogether out. Uobbie Noble and Harbinger ran so very close a race bror sh for the Stakes that the former's hopes for the Cam re will be upset by the latter having the pull of three pounds in his favour. The race for the Doncaster Cup proved the correct d,nl of the running for the Cap at Goodwood, as Ted „ton, at a difference of five and twenty pounds, was t , ) T I IIT beaten a length in Sussex by Kingston; whereas ~ l iincaster the latter, reserving only nineteen pounds, t urned the scale in Teddington's favour, but only by a Leek. Nancy and Newminster, who figured among the 'Loners, were regulury beaten off. Lerrywhent's victory yesterday for the Town Plate le enable Dawson to draw a capital line for the Cesa tewitch and Cambridgeshire. One of the principal moves consequent upon the Don caster running has been the advancement of Koh-i-noor t ir citc the outside division to the position of first favourite 'or the Cambridgeshire. I will conclude with a few worth on the Bedford e tin g. ti_'The I3edforshire Stakes would seem to be a good Llnas g for AZAEL, notwithstanding his 51ba penalty. He certainly hitherto only proved himself a mile horse, but the wei g ht s are so muc h in his favour that I think h %eannot well lose the race.

The Prince of Wales and Prince Alfred drove yes.. terday to Invercauld, and pa.sed the afternoon with the younger sons of Mr. and Mrs. Farquharson. A deputation, consitting of the Earl of Devon, Lord Erskine, Colonel Richard Wright Warren, and Mr. L. H. Winckwortb, had an interview with the Right Hon. J. W. Henley yesterday, at the Board of Trade, on the subject of the inter-oceanic communi cation between the Atlantic and the Pacific. Lord Dynevor, Sir William Pym, and Mr. John Parkinson, bad interviews yesterday with Mr. Secre tary Walpole, at the Home-office. HER MAJESTY'S SOJOURN IN THE NORTH. CRATHIE, WEDNESDAY. Her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Al bert proceeded to-day to " The Hut," the shooting box of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, where they will probably remain for a day or two. " The Hut" is about seven miles from Balmoral, and the road, after passing Lochnagar distillery, is rather a rugged one through the hills. " The Hut" is situated at the end of Loch Muick, a fine sheet of water, three miles long and about half a mile broad. It is surrounded by wild rocky scenery, an :abounds with trout of excellent quality. Her Maje ty has had a new road constructed from " The Hut" up the side of Loch Muick to a new gamekeeper's house that was built last year, four miles off; also a new pathway to the foot of Lochnagar, which greatly facilitates the pro gress of the tourist. The Royal children visited Mr. and Mrs. Farquhar son, of Invercauld, accompanied by her Royal High ness the Duchess of Kent. Her Majesty, I now learn, did not, as we have been informed, proceed to the top of Lochnagar yesterday. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. OLDHAM ALLIANCE. An extraordinary meeting of this company was held on Thursday at Oldham, for the purpose, as stated iu the circular convening the meeting, "of determining whether application should be made to the Lords of her Majesty's Privy Council for Trade and Foreign Plantations in the manner prescribed by the Abandon ment of Railways Act, 1850, that the whole of the rail ways authorised by the Oldham Alliance Railway Act, 1847, may be abandoned." Scrutineers were appointed to examine the votes against the proposition, and the result was a majority of about 16,000 to 60 in favour of the application being made. SOUTH WALES. An enormous excursion traffic passed over this line throughout its whole extent on Tuesday last. The at traction was the Chepstow Horticultural Fite, which was held in the ruins of Chepstow Castle. The weather being exceedingly fine, a vast number of peopl9 took advantage of the cheap excursion trains, which were crowded to a most extraordinary extent. A train was advertised to leave Swindon (Great Western line) early on Tuesday morning, calling at Ci rencester, Stroud, Cheltenham, Gloucester, Newnham, &c., and it is calculated that 3,000 people left the Gloucester station for Chepstow. Three trains were provided as soon as the carriages could be collected from the different stations, the last leaving Gloucester some four hours after the announced time, while many excursionists travelled in the ordinary trains, the com pany being unwilling to disappoint any. The return from Chepstow was to take place at eight P.M., but an other delay took place, and many passengers from Glou cester did not reach their destination until midnight. FURTHER OPENING OF THE SOUTH WALES RAILWAY. Yesterday (Friday) a further c7qening of this line of railway from Swansea to Carmarthen took place, and was the occasion of much rejoicing in the district. Swansea, Llanelly, and Carmarthen were crowded to re pletion, and the innkeepers in all three places had more to do than they could undertake. Beds on Thursday night wore at a high premium. The directors arrived on Thursday night at Swansea from London by the ten Pm. train and an express which followed it running in connexion with the evening express from London. Some of these gentlemen rested last night at Margan Abbey, near Neath, the seat of Mr. Talbot, M.P., the chairman of the South Wales Company, and came on by the early train, arriving in Swansea at 10.30 a.m. The official proceedings of the day included a public recep tion of the directors at Carmarthen, a grand (Wainer at the Market-hall, fireworks and a ball in the evening. The directors and their friends, together with the guests of the Mayor of Carmarthen, travelled from Swansea over the new line by a special excursion train, leaving Swansea at noon. The train was a very heavy one, and it is computed that a thousand persons travelled by it. It stopped at all the stations on the new portion of line — viz., Loughor, Llanelly, Pembrey, F errys id e ( or Lians tephan), and Carmarthen, the present western terminus. At all of these places there were crowds of people as sembled to welcome the arrival of the first passenger train connecting the county of Carmarthen with the railway district. The usual popular demonstrations, were made which we need not particularise. The new Ana, after leaving Swansea station about a mile and a half, passes through Cwmbwrla tunnel, one of the heaviest works on this portion of the line, and pro ceeds along an undulating country towards Loughor, where the tidal river Loughor is crossed by a swing bridge. There is nothing remarkable in the construc tion of the line between here and Llanelly. Near Llanelly, and between that port and Ferryside, the line traverses a sandy district, runni ng close to the sea in many places. At Llanelly is a long embank ment of sand, cutting off a portion of the tidal way, which embankment is faced with stone, sunk to some depth below the surface of the mud. Much low land is recovered from the sea by this embankment. At this place, during a heavy spring tide, some months ago, a portion of the embankment was carried away by the rush of tide, but the damage has been repaired, and the embankment is now pronounced secure. The line runs from Llanelly through Burry Port and Pembrey to Kidwelly along a dead flat, the works being very easy, There is a bridge over the Gwendraeth at Kid welly. At Ferryside, on arriving at the mouth of the Towy, the line turns to the northward, and runs up that river to Carmarthen. At different points, Loughor, Llanelly, Burry Port, Pembrey, and Kid welly, there will be depots for the reception of the coal and other minerals abounding in this district. The line is not yet pro nounced ready for public traffic by the Government rail way inspector, but it is expected that it will be opened on Monday next for public traffic. The special train reached Carmarthen about two o'clock, before which time this report had to be dispatched to catch the train to London. LIFE-BOAT at DOVER.—THE LATE DUKE. An interesting trial of Clarkson's life-boat took place at Dover on Monday last, in presence of Captain W. H. Hall, RN., Montague Gore, Esq., Captain Hawthorn, R.N., Capt. Fisher, RN., and several other gentlemen. The boat was thrown into the sea from the end of the Now Pier, a height of 30 feet. It wont into the water bottom upwards, but immediately righted itself and freed itself from water. It was then capsized, and again righted itself and freed itself from water. Its capacity as a rowing-boat was then tested, and proved very satis factory. As, however, the trials were made in smooth water, it has been deemed desirable to make another in a gale, and the boat is left at Dover for this pur pose. It is an interesting circumstance connected with this experiment, that the illustrious man whose decease a nation now mourns, wrote a most courteous reply to a letter writtcn to him by the inventor, and expressed his intention to look at the boat—thus showing the interest he took in whatever concerned the public wel fare. After the trial Captain Hall and Mr. Gore visited Deal, with the object of seeing whether, by the esta blishment of a Sailor's Home in that locality, the com forts and welfare of that brave and meritorious class of men might not be promoted. They were highly grati fied in conversing with the men to find that they were sensible of the advantages of such an establishment, and most ready and desirous to avail themselves of them., THE MAGISTRACY.—The Irish Lord Chancellor has been pleased, on the recommendation of the Earl of Lucan, to appoint Patrick Tuohy, Esq, of Oxford, a magis trate for the county of Mayo- A CHILD KILLED WITH KINDNESS.--CAUTION TO PARENTS. —On Thursday Mr. G. S. Brent held an inquest at the Chalk Farm tavern on Stephen Cleverly, the infant son of Idr. Claverly, architect, Grove-street. Deceased w as its parents' first pledge of affection, and as such was so ten derly cared that it was put to sleep on a down pillow. The nurse, after leaving her charge upon the pillow, returned in a short time, when she found it upon its face quite dead, its head having been buried in the soft pillow, whereby it was smothered. The Coroner remarked that he had never met with a clearer case of death through kindness. Verdict —Accidental death. DEATH OF GENERAL SIR JOHN ROSE.—We regret to announce the demise of General Sir John Rose, of Holme, a gentleman who has resided in this neighbourhood for a great many years. On Friday morning his carriage was ordered for a short drive; but after quitting his room that he might descend to it, he suddenly felt worse, and counter manded his previous instructions. He expired in the course of the afternoon. Sir John served for many years with much distinction in india. His death will be deeply felt in this district: _lnverness Advertiser. ILLNESS OF LOFTUS H.

Liverpool Mercury. THE LONDON, DEATH OF THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON. At a late hour 1:18 3 ; night the Earl of Derby arrived at his mansion in St. James's-square from Balmoral. Her Majesty and Prince Albert had received, with dcep concrAn, the announcement of the Duke of Wellington's death, and the Noble Premier had at once, in compli ance with the command of, her Majesty, returned to town. At noon yesterday the new Duke of Wellington ar rived at Weimer Castle. He was at Baden Baden when the news of his father's death reached him, and bastenirg back, without an hour's delay, landed at Dover yester day morning by the Ostend boat. His presence removes the chief cause for delay in the arrangements for the fu neral, but, as already announced, they will not be de finitively settled until her. Majesty's will has been declared by her constitutional iadvisers. In the meantime steps aro being taken for removing the body of the illus trious deceased to Apaley house, where it will remain until the preparations for the interment are com pleted. A leaden coffin was set down to Widmer Castle last night from Messrs. Dowbiggan, Holland, and Co., of Mount -street, Grosvenor square, and it is ex pf that the removal to town will take place to-night or on Monday. The Duchess, it is thought, will arrive at Weimer Castle in time to have a parting look at the well-remembered features of the departed. It is said that these have been little changed in expression by the hand of death, a circumstance the less surprising from their singularly marked character. Most great men have had striking ends. The Duke of Wellington, having compressed within the space of his existence the interest of many lives, died as a lamp ex pires, the oil of which is exhausted. The Spartan simplicity of his habits was maintained to the last, and the only relaxation which he permitted himself was an occasional extra hour's rest at Weimer. In his 84th year he was still the same ab stemious, active, self-denying man he had ever been, rising early, never latterly tasting wine or spirits, taking regular exercise on toot and on horseback, sleep. ing on a hard uncurtained couch, and rejecting even the luxury of a downy pillow. The Duke used a pillow, but it was an exceedingly hard one, stuffed with horse hair and lined with washloather, and he carried it about with him wherever he went. His life had for years been a steady system of defensive warfare against the ap proach of disease, and death overtook him at last from sheer exhaustion, without being preceded by a single day's illness. On the very morning of his fatal attack it was much feared that he would persist in going to meet Lady Westmoreland at Dover, and not long ago, when suffering from a severe cold, he could not be per suaded to keep his room, but joined the dinner circle in his great coat. His habits certainly throw a striking light on his whole character; and when we learn that to the last his daily toilet was performed without the slightest assistance, we can appreciate how fully he acted up to a favourite motto of his own—that if a man wanted to have anything properly done he must do it himself. It took him from half-past six o'clock till nine every morning to dress; but even to the operation of shaving he did all himself; and at his age that must have been nearly as difficult a feat as winning a battle in early life. Though in his 84th year, he still wrote a firm hand and carried on a large correspondence—cu rious confirmations of the strength of nerve required to form a great commander. The Duke was a most diligent and indefatigable reader of the newspapers. Nothing WB3 too minute to escape his notice, but the advertisement columns had bis special attention; and if, in glancing over them, he found an announcement of a new patent pen, to which were assigned some peculiar virtues, or any thing else which struck his fancy, forthwith a dispatch was sen off for the article. His great mental activity has often been a theme of conversation; but there was an illustration of it shortly before his death which is no less interesting on account of its relation, than astounding in itself. Shortly before his decease, his Grace was engaged in the task of read ing a ponderous document, which has excited a good deal of public attention, being no other than the report of the Royal Commission appointed to examine into the manage ment and condition of Oxford University. This he doubtless did with the view of mastering the details, so as to be able to form a sound judgment on a question of so much national interest, and possibly to take part in the discussion of the subject in the next session. The Duke was, like the late Sir Robert Peel, one who would take no opinion second hand, and in this instance he laboured hard to understand the subject in all its bear ings. It is a striking, and, all things considered, a most interesting fact, that before his death he bad nearly concluded his gigantic task, and, up to a certain point, it is believed, bad read every word of the report. The Duke's diet was as simple as his habits, or as the architecture of Weimer Castle, consisting of the very plainest dishes. He had, indeed, a French cook, but had his Grace always lived alone the office would have been a perfect sinecure. The cook, who no doubt partakes of the enthusiasm of his art, was even chagrinned at times at having so little opportunity of displaying his artistic powers. The bill of fare was daly placed before his master, but was nearly always returned with, in addition to a plain joint of meat, some such words as "pudding and tart," occasionally varied by the transposition of the words into " tart and pudding," as if by way of joke at the baffled ingenuity of the gastronomist. Another source of disquiet to the cook was positively that the Duke never complained. "If I cook a good dinner," the de sponding artist would say, "the Duke remarks It is well;' and if I cook a bad dinner he says It is well." No complaint ever evinced dissatisfaction, or marked a ruffled temper; and the reason doubtless was, that the dinner and the stomach were as well regulated and at tempered as the mind. Of all his Grace's peculiarities none, perhaps, was more remarkable than the tenacity and accuracy of his memory. He had a clear recollection of many minute facts connected with Mr. Pitt and his times. Some allusion being made one day to an approaching Lord Mayor's dinner, the Duke remarked that the last public dinner attended by Mr. Pitt was on such an occasion, and that ho happened to be present, and heard Mr. Pitt make an excellent speech. A speaker at the dinner, in proposing Mr. Pitt's health, spoke of that statesman as .‘ the saviour of his country," and in his reply to the toast, Mr. Pttt denied that he was the saviour of his country, observing, " The country saved itself by its own exertions, and othercountries would be equally for. tunato if they would follow its example." This speech the Duke greatly admired: it was after his own heart. Toe Duke had many aphoristic rules for his guidance in the common affairs of life. One of his maxims was, who wishes to have anything don e we ll must do A pleasing trait in the Duke's character is the lon g period during whic h a lar g e proportion of his dependents have been connected with or served him, and the un varying testimony which they bear to his good a nd ki n d it himself." He qualities as an employer, a landlord, and a master. E xact an d punctual in the management of his private affairs, up to the last moment his weekly bills were dis charged by him as usual; and this precision, which he carried into everything, made him easily dealt with. proprietor is apt to be f orgotten. Yet Amid the splendour of hi s public achievements his con duct most liberal and i mprov i ng landlords dwuacst he es one e at o Al f in the country. The estate of Strathfieldsaye, which he used to say would have ruined any man but himself, has had more done for it in the shape of permanent improve ments—of draining, of chalking, of substantial farm pre mises and such like, than perhaps any other single pro perty in the south of England. It was a wretched in vestment of the public money; but the Duke, tree to his usual maxim, did the best he could with it, and the an nual income for a long series of years has been regularly laid out upon it. The announcement will certainly be received with immense satisfaction by the whole nation that a cast of the Duke's head was taken yesterday afternoon by a gentl?man perfectly qualified to perform the task well, namely, Mr. Adams, a pupil of Mr. Wyon, the eminent modeller, and himself well known as the artist who inc. cesJully competed for the juror's prize medal in the Great Exhibition. Orders were issued yesterday from the Horse Guards to all the commanding officers of regiments in the United Kingdom to go into full mourning. A general and very erroneous impression has existed in the public mind that the Duke of Wellingtion was extremely parsimonious in his contributions to the different benevolent institutions with which London abounds. Such was not the case; but when he gave dona tions he always requested that it might not be blazoned before the public; and t that his private benevolence was extensive, we have only to instance the late prosecution of the female Stanley and her male accomplice, who ob tained from the Duke above 5001. at various periods extending over seven years. Of the hospitals and charitable institutions he was connected with, we may mention that his Grace was President of the Royal Westminster Ophthalmic Hospital, President of the Royal Maternity Charity, President of the Eastern Dispensary (Great Alie-street), Patron of the St. George's and St. Jame's Dispensary, Patron of the Royal Society of Musicians, President of the Society of Friends of Foreigners in Distress, besides being a liberal though unostentatious supporter of many of the charitable institutions of the metropolis. He was also the oldest governor of the Charter-house (excepting the Duke of Buccleuch), a governor of King's College, a trustee of the Hunterian Collection, and President of the United Service Institution. EXTRAORDINARY PEDESTRIANISM.—A man named James Jones is at the present time engaged, at the Borough Gardens, Manchester, in fulfilling the arduous task o f walking 1,500 miles in 1000 hours, commencing in the first quarter in each hour, day and night continuously, li e commenced at seven o'clock on the evening of Saturday. the 14th of August, and his task will be completed, if hi e strength do not fail, on the 25th instant, at eleven o'clock in the forenoon. On Monday next, at seven in the evening, he will have accomplished 1,333 miles. The man has suf fered considerably. At one time his feet were covered with blisters, and his toes were exceedingly sore, but by constant attention and judicious application they are nearly restored, while his bodily health is good. He is temperate in respect to drink,taking only a pint of porter per day, but consumes flebh meat to the extent of six pounds per diem. If he succeed in going through his excessive exertion —a n d at present there is every reason to believe that he will, on Saturday, the 25th, he will be presented with a purse con taining 100/., the amount promised him when he started. He will then commence to walk 1,000 quarter miles in 1,000 quarter hours, starting in the first five minutes in each quarter. SINGULAR OCCURRENCE.—On the evening of Mon day week, two little boys were flying a kite in Glasgow green; the kite had obtained a very considerable elevation, when a vivid flash of the electric fluid struck the kite, and in the twinkling of an eye the kite, tail, and paper appended thereto, an.i the greater part of the twine, were consumed, leaving the poor little fellows staring in utter amazement at the disappearance of their favourite. —Edinburgh Advertiser._ SATURDA Y EVENING, I OVERLAND MAIL INDIA AND CHINA. (Prom the Chronicle.) We have received by extraordinary express, in anticipation of the Overland Mail, our private cor respondence and journals from Bombay of the G h August, Calcutt a ith , M adras 1 4 t h, an d Il ong -K ong 23d July. BOMBAY, AUG. 0. (PROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT) .. We are h our l y l ooking for the Engl i s h ma il o f the Bth July, but as yet the steamer conveying the pre cious frei g ht h as not been signalled. My present letter will t a k e a l onger time in reach i ng you than usual, owing t o t h e circumstance of no over l an d mail leaving Bansbay direct during the present month ; and consequently we denizens of Western India are obliged to transmit our letters by the roundabout route of Madras. Why the authorities here do not dispatch a steam er to Suez during August i s a mys tery to the publi c ; for August is generally a less tempestuous month th an July, in the course o f which two mails are di s p atc h ed direct from Bom b ay. Th e anomaly must spe e dil y be rectified, for i t i s too ab surd to last. I h ave just heard, however, t h at t h e Government hav e i t under contemplation. Nothing of much importance has occurred in India since the date of my last communication. In Burmah warlike operations are at a stand-still, and will doubt less continue so during the monsoons, to be recom menced in Novemb er , ceased, and fit camp a i gning weather set in. At pre sent everything ap pears to be as quiet in Rangoon as in one of our pr ov i nc i al cantonments. The troops the contrast rainsto their shall have ndi have been comfort a bl y housed, and are well provided with supplies —an admirable when Burmese war. General God win seems chiefly o ccup i ed in administering the in ternal economy of hi s army, Ile has issued stringent orders regarding th e l anding or sale of spirituous liquors, and has threat ene d offending parties with the punishment of martial l aw, which, to us e' hi s sl co condi tion during the f ormer own words, "involves corporal punishment on the spot by the provost marsh a l, and without respec t to persons?' A very proper order it is, in my opinion, and it must ba so indeed in the opinion of all acquainted with the circumstances of an Indo-European army, placed in an unhealthy climate at its unhealthiest season, during a cessation of hostilities. The general has also issued a notice permitting Burmese who have private property buried within the stockade of Rangoon to take it away on the production of a pass from the quartermas ter's department ; and another notice, which is important enough to be quoted entire :---" The lieutenant-general is afraid, from the anxiety shown by the Burmese to obtain passes of safety from British officers, that they believe the annexa tion of this country is probable, but of which, at present, there is not the least prospect. It is there fore requested that no passes of any kind be given to any native of Burmah, since it m ay be construed into an authority which may hereafter cost the holder his life." From this assertion of the general, that at pre sent there is not the least prospect of annexation, no inference as to the results of the overthrow of the Bur mese military strength can be drawn. It is probable enough that Lord Dalhousie himself has not decided on his future policy touching territorial aggrandizement, but will be guided according to the current of events and instructions from hom e ; but at all events the military commander of our troops in Burmah will have little to do with the ultimate political de cision, and at the date of his issuing that order he was probably as much unacquainted with what has been passing in Lord Dalhousie's mind on the subject as any subaltern of his army. The Governor-General has himself proceeded from Calcutta to Rangoon, to ascertain the state of matters by personal conference and observation. His Lordship's visit to Burmah, like that of Lord Wellesley to Madras during the second war with Tippoo Sultan, and that of Lord Minto to the straits at the time of the capture of Java, will no doubt be advantageous in removing difficulties, facilitating operations, and confirming the prospects of success. Lord Dalhousie will now be able instantly to order every deficiency to be sup plied, and to arrange with General Godwin for the assemblage of the army in winter to march upon the capital. He will also be able to learn in some degree the state of Burmese resources, the feelings of the people, and other matters necessary to be known, before coming to a conclusion as to ulterior measures---which ulterior measures will, I have very little doubt, consist in the annexation of the richest and most convenient provinces of the Burmese em pire. These barbarians must be made to feel that they are inferior in every way to the civilised power whom they dared to injure and insult, under the idea that Burmese strength and valour were irresistible. The expenses of the campaign also must be paid for in some way or other. The expenses for the forces from Bengal alone have been, up to the Ist of July, above twenty-three lacs of rupees ; and if to this be added the expenses of the Madras contingent, the Bombay navy, marching allowances, and so forth, the total expenditure for the present Burmese cam paign, up to the Ist of July, will probably not be less than fifty lacs of rupees, or half a million sterling. At length tranquillity is announced on the north west frontier. According to the latest intelligence from Peshawur (July 21) everything was quiet on the frontier, and several chiefs of the turbulent tribes with whom we have been warring so long were on their way to that cantonment to tender their submis sion to Colonel Mackesoia, the British political agent. It is therefore probable that no expedition will be necessary against the borderers in the cold weather. But it is impossible to foresee the uaanceuvres of these fellows, or what these may lead to • an d the Afreedee mountaineers are st a t e d to be still rather turbulent. Sir Colin Campbell has been succeeded in command on the frontier by B rigadier-General Roberts. It is gratifying to the former gallant officer to resign his command to his successor when all disturbances have been tranquillized. Peshawur, by l as t accounts, was extremely unhealthy ow i ng to the excessive heat, and soldiers were daily dying from apoplexy, ()Pup de soled, and fever. Sinde is now and has long been as tranquil as our oldest provinces. The dethroned chief of Khyrpore bears his misfortunes to all appearance, submissively ; he lives q u it e i n seclusion seldom indulges in his former sports, and occasion a ll y s till expresses a hope that Govern ment will reconsider their measures towards him. Two annual commercial fairs are about to be est a bli s h ed by the British Government, in accordance with t h © wish of the principa l traders of the country; one at K urrachee, in Lower Sinde, to Upper last for sixty days ; and the other at Sukkur, in t is to Sinde, to last for forty-five days. Govern el f e ' n and these fairs, provide shelter for those frequenting trading pur to afford them all practicable facilities for and to such a poses.

QUARTER TO FIVE, P.M. P.S. A sailing vessel, with the London mail of the 6 th of July, has just been signalled ; but as this leaves in 15 minutes by express to Madras, and thence by the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Potting,r, I cannot keep the packet a minute longer open. I may, as stated above, be able to write to you again on the 11th of August. (From the Madras Atheneum) MADRAS, Aua. 14.—The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Pottinger arrived from Calcutta last evening. The Governor-General returned to the seat of Government from Rangoon on the Gth. The precise object of his visit remains a secret. It seems to be expected that an onward move by the river will be made on Prome, and possibly Ava, immediately after the arrival of the re-inforements. CALCUTTA COMMERCIAL REPORT (From the Bengal Barham of Aug. 7.) The steamer llindostan, with the London mails of the 24th of June, arrived In the river on the 28th inst. and the letters were delivered in the ev en i ng of that day. By this opportunity the intelligence recei ve d i s not nia: terially different from that by the last two mails. The London produce markets continued in a healthy state, and business to a considerable extent w as i n progress. ' Sugar was rather quiet, and, excepting for particular sorts, prices have shown some little tendency down. wards. Good to fine yellow was quoted at 375. to 41s. per cwt. Saltpetre was selling at tull prices; 7i to 11 per cent. refraction had sold at 255. per cwt. Rice con tinued in a fair position. The stocks were small as compared with the previous year, whilst consumption was increasing. Prices quoted for Bengal wore 93. Cd. to 10s. per cwt. Lac dye was dull, especially in respect to ordinary and low qualities. Shell lac, on the other hand, commanded a lair market at pretty full prices. Castor oil remained steady in vale. In catch nothing appears to have been doing, and prices were nominally as before. The indigo market was quiet, in anticipa tion of the approaching public sales. Arrivals of the dye just before the departure of the mail had been extensive. Money continued plentiful and very cheap in all parts of Great Britain. In Manchester only a moderate amount of business in piece goods and yarns were in progress for this quarter. Prices being too high with reference to the rates obtain able here. Here matters remain much as they were at the date of our last Overland report. Sugar has been largely shipped, 1,86,112 mds. having gone forward in July. There is still a good deal of business in progress. Prices since the fall in Exchange have been stiffer. Raw silk continues in good favour amongst shippers; the ex ports of the month of July being to Great Britain 2,042 mds. In torahs and tossers not much has been done. For choppahs there has been a good demand. There is scarcely anything doing in salpetre for any quarter. Rice shipments may be said to be confined to Mauritius and Bourbon. For shell lac a good demand has pre vailed for shipment to Great Britain. Lao dye is in moderate request for Great Britain and North America. Safflower continues to be shipped almost exclu sively to Great Britain; the exp or t s d ur i ng J uly were 3,170 mds. Hi des have b een largely shipped to Eng land, and a fair supply has likewise been sent to the United States. Oilseeds contin ue i n f a i r request. In cas tor oil there is rather more doing. Jute is att rac ti ng a little more attention , but quantity shipped is small. No fresh shipments in cut& are reported. Exports of rum have been chiefly confined to Genoa and Sydn e y. The seventh Government opium sale of the season was held on the 12th ult. The following was the re. sult:— Chests. Highest. Lowest. Average. Proceeds. 1920 1195 1175 1178 9 6 22,62,900 Behar Benares 880 1195 1185 1190 6 4i 10,47,550 These are very high prices and show an advance of about 225 rupees per chest above the prices realised in the July sale of 1851. Gambling has been going on to a considerable extent in the Bazaar for some time past, and there is no saying how prices may rule in the eighth sale of the seasoli, which will be held on the 10th inst. Prices in the Bazaar yesterday were very high but quite nominal. From China we have news done to July 12th per Shanghae steamer, which arrived on the 29th ultimo. At Canton quotations of the drug at that time were Patna 555 dolls., Bananas 562.50 dolls., Malwa 515 dolls. Company's accepted Bills 230 per 100 dolls. Bank Post Bills 4s. 91d. to 4s. 10d. Bariug's Credits 4s. Hid. In our Money Market there is no change to note. Both the European and native community now are ap parently well at ease in this respect. For all legitimate purposes means to an ample extent are available, though there is now less capital seeking investment than there was a few months back. Government Securities are steady of value and demand at our previous quotations, which are as follows.:—Transfer Five per Cent., rs. 6 0 0; New Fives, 6 0 0 to 64 0; Old Sicca ditto, 2 12 oto3 0 0 prem.; Co.'s Rs., Four per Cent., 8 12 0 to 9 0 0 dia. The Share Market remains without much change. Bank of Bengal Shares are selling at Co.'s Rs. 6,000 to 6,050. Agra Bank are wanted at 525, bat there appears to be few if any sellers. North-Western Bank Shares are quoted at 300. Our import market is &gain without much alteration. Fortunately what little change has taken place is all in favour of sellers. Somewhat higher rates have been ob tained for grey shirtings and mule twist, as well as some other goods. Holders can now get on with sales to a considerable extent, still there does not appear to be much, if any, prospect of a further enhancement, nor is it at all certain that the present advantage will be main tained. Low white jaconets are in good demand, and rea lise rather more favourable rates. Several styles of prints, too, are m ore va l uable than before. Boo k s, mulls, and lappets are all overdone in stock, and not in demand. Turkey red goods are still dull of sale, even at ruling low rates. The twist market has undergone some slight improve ment since the b eg i nn i ng o f t hi s mont h . P r i ces are higher by about I pi per morah, and 30's to 60's find buyers without difficulty. 70's to 100's appear to be in better demand. Turkey red yarns are dull of sale. Orange and green sell to a moderate extent at previous rates. In metals very little business has been done. Holders are asking higher rates for copper, and spelter is quoted at Co's Rs. 65 0 per factory md. For iron there is very few buyers. Exchange declined considerably after the departure of last mail, but has again rallied a little. A good deal has been done in bills. Banks have sold rather largely at 2s. Op. Present quotations are as follow:—First-class credits, 2s. Old. per rupee; ditto, documents, 2s. 0:11 to 2s. ld. per rupee. Freights of late arrivals have been exceedingly light, and the river at this season has seldom of late years been so clear of shipping as it now is. Quotations to London are as follow:—Sugar, 4/. 15s. to 41. 17s. 6d.; saltpetre, 4/. 108.; rice, nominal; oilseeds, 41. 12s. 6d.; hides, 31. 12s. 6d. to 31. 17s. 6d.; jute, 31. 10s. to 31. 15s. To Mauritius, Co.'s Es. 11. 14s. to 11. 15s. per bag, payable there at 50 cents. per !rupee. _ Indigo—A small public sale took place on the 19th ult., which went off with considerable spirit. Futtyghur indigo sold at an advance of 25 to 30 rupees per md. The accounts from the upper provinces continue good, and the Thirhoot planters, it appears, will not be so badly off as was expected. In the lower provinces, how ever, although reports are somewhat contradictory, there appears no reason to doubt that the ultimate out turn will be very far short of what was fully calculated on in tho early part of the season. The weather in Bengal has continued very rainy, and all the factories have suffered severely from inundation. There is no sufficient data in our possession on which to found an stimate of the crop, and we refrain therefore from com mitting ourselves to figures, which would probably end in our being very wide of the mark, as in tact we were only last year. We then gave an estimate of 95,000 to 102,500 by the August steamer. A table of exports shows that 131,583 factory mds. have been shipped. We may, however, me❑tion that the two extremes are 105,000 and 115,000 mdP. MONEY MARKET. Bank Shares—Bengal Bank. Co.'s Rs. (4,000 prem.), 2.050; Agra and U. S. Bank (500), 520 to 525; North- Western Bank (400), 300. Bank of Bengal—Discount on private bills and notes (3 months), 7 per cent.; on Government acceptances (ditto), 4 per cent.

(From the Overland Friend of China, July 23.) Defeated in every encounter, without money to carry on the co n te s t, its prestige br oken, and from within and from Without altogeth er wanting in that affection and sympathy which alone form substantial Tartar support to a throne—the days of the dynasty appear fast drawing to a close. Cboo, or Tsou, the several times Prince of' the old Ming family) who has made k nown to his countrymen that he is anxiou s ly watching the progress of events, still remains in the back ground; cautiouLly, perhap?, anticipating the time when, the country from end to end b e i ng i n a state of anarchy, the throne will revert to his posses sion an easy prize.

Since last report we have bad rain on 14 out of 30 days; the pluvio meter showing a total depth of 181 inches nearly. Last month we gave the total number of sick in garrison as 75; this month shows an increase to 90 (against 105 at same period lust year). We have as many us thirteen deaths, too, to tell of—viz., four of the Ceylon Rifle Corps and five Gun Lascars (all of Beri.beri), two of 11.11.'s 59th, and two in the Ar tillery Corps. The hospital list stood yesterday as follows :—H.M.'s 59th Regiment,6l; Ordnance De partment, 16; Ceylon Rifles, 13. We are told that the etiology of Beri-beri (so fatal to the Asiatic soldier) is not known. The first symtoms of this singular disease are pains and slight swelling in the feet and ancles, with an unsteady motion in walking—death occurring very suddenly —the patient only a few minutes before dis solution, it may be, being in a cheerful conversation with those around him.

Yesterday afternoon a fire o f a very alarming cha racter broke out in the premises belonging to Mr. J. HamHIT, scale-board cutter and lucifer splint manu facturer, situate at No. 36, Union-street, Lambeth walk. The fire commenced in the drying-house, which at the time contained a large quantity of splints. The moment these articles became ignited the flames began to assume a fearful ascendancy, and from the fact of the building being enclosed with wrought iron doors, it was a work of considerable difficulty to force an entrance to throw water on the flames. The en gines belonging to Messrs. Hodges, the distillers, and those of the parish and W est of England Office were soon on the spot, f o ll owed in rapid succession by those of the London Brigade, from Waterloo-road, Southwark-bridge-road, Chandos-street, and Far-_ ringdon-street stat i ons.
