At a Meeting in the School-room of the Episcopal Chapel, Long acre, it was unanimously resolved that the sentiments expressed by the Rev. J. E. Gladstone, in'his Sermon of Dec. 7, 1851, namely— " That the Bishop of this Diocese (London) is alarmingly responsible and fearfully culpable for what passes In it," are the truth ; this lifeettng does now form itself into a Committee, with power to add to its numbers, to watch proceedings now pending in the Ecclesias teal Court between the itishop of London and the Rev. J. E. Gl a d. stone, with a view to assist the latter gentleman as far as may lie in their power. Also, that the Committee, concelvin: the agitation of the Tractarian question to be of vital importance to the interests of the Protestant Faith in this country, proposes to raise a fend for the purpose of supporting the cause of the Rev. .1. E. Gladstone, such fund to be called " The Gladstone Protestant Defence Fund." All who are friendly to the above cause are respectfully invited to * l co-operate, and are informed that stescription lists will be opened in a few days, and regularly appointed collectors nominated.

This is the first defined plan for Mining in Australia, distinguished by the following recommendations I. It will promote, for Mining pursuits, a perfect organization of Independent emigrants, who, being generally unacquainted with such occupations, will derive, from an efficient direction, having at corn- Mend all requisite machinery and supplies, benefits not otherwise attainable. 2. It will facilitate the emigration of persons associated with this Company for Mining purposes, more especially by procuring, at the earliest available moment, the grand desideratum of cheap steam "nveYanee ; and the arrannements of this Company preclude all tisk of loss in respect of any abandonment of engagements on the part of the emigrants. 3. The Company is free to select its ground of operations wherever the direction of labour may lead to the most beneficial results. 4. The Peculiar Inducements to Emigrants in joining this under taking, will be the large remuneration to the working parties (that being fixed at not less than 75 per cent. of the net produce of their labour), and the mutual security, protection, and economy of the alsteMatic co-operation contemplated by the project. 5. To Shareholders, besides the large auticpated returns on their c apital, the special and acknowledged advantages of the Cost-book Are alto secured, viz.:— Exemption from the Joint-Stock Companies' Registration Act, and from the ordinary law of partnership. Direct and constant control, at the bi-monthly - meetings, over the Company's affairs. :NS personal responsibility of Shareholders for any act but their own. 6. An appdcation will be made for a Royal Charter to extend the Powers of the Association on its being constituted ; and the great Public utility of the design, leaves no doubt that the favour of the Government will be evinced by the Incorporation of the Company. The Prospectus may be obtained at the offices; and applications for shares in the subjoined form, with a respectable reference, to be addressed to the Committee.

Captain Bridges John Hooke. The West of Ireland Land Investment Company propose to pur chase some of the large and yatpahle.astates in the West of Ireland, Which are now in the market; and to improve and let on lease, or -resell the same. - In no part of the British Empire can land be obtained on such easy terms, and with such present and prospective advantages. At no former period has so favourable an opportunity been pre sented for making eligible land investments in Ireland. • - It is a strange but unquestionable truth, that at the present mo ment several hundred thousand acres of good reclaimable land may be bought In Ireland at prices scarcely higher than emigrants are compelled to pay for cleared land in our colonial - hack settlements. Owing to the legal difficulties that existed until lately to prevent the transfer of landed property in Ireland, and the exaggerated value generally placed upon it by its nominal owners, it was deemed hope less by English capitalists to seek permanent Investments there, especially as the number of pamper tenants, in many instances, was so great as to make the Estates •almost valueless, and to prevent all attempts. at the introduction of an improved system of agri culture. The successful operation of the Encumbered ,Estates' Court, the remarkable decrease of the labouring classes of the Irish population exhibited by the late Census, and the universal desire to emigrate that now exists amongst the peasantry, solve the chief difflOuhy in the problem of Ireland's physical and social regeneration, and re move the most formidable obstacle to English enterprise - in that quarter ; the only one where it has hitherto been conquered by the mere force of circumstances. The province of Connaught has been chosen because it off trs un questionably a preeminently suitable field tbr the purposes of the Company, and still more because of the uniformly peaceful, loyal, and tractable character of its inhabitants. Practical Agriculturists, Travellers,' and Tourists of all Nations have concurred in bearingtestimony to the- unparalleled scope for remunerative investment, which the counties of Galway, Mayo, Sligo, Roscommon, and Leitrim, present to parties possessing ade quate means and ability to reclaim and cultivate the soil, and deve lope the various industrial resources in which this highly favoured district abounds. The principal reason why a larger number of English and Scotch farmers have not been induced to take advantage of this s;plendid opening for the profitable employment of their. skill and morn ty, has been their reluctance to become isolated settlers' in a country where their individual efforts could effect little in improving the cultivation of the soil, or in the diminution of the poor-rates ; whilst they en tertain considerable apprehension for else safety of their persons and property, without the co-operation and protection of men posseissing like habits and sympathies, and engaged in the pursuit of sizailar objects. The Directors confidently hope that the project now laid bi!fore the public will effect the enlarged realization of the celebrated pro position of Sir Robert Peel for the improvement and colonizatio n of Coenaught. The absence of Markets has hitherto done much to deter per sons from becoming settlers, or engaging in any industrial enterprise in the West, this has been mainly attributable to the want of sufficient internal communication and means of intercourse with the use tro- Polls ; the latter impediment to progress has already been retnoved in a great measure by th e recent improvements in the navi cation of the Shaenon and the Western Lakes, and by the opening of - a line of : Railway from Galway to Dublin ; while the now probable n taliza lion of the long-desired steam communication :with Amer lea - is another obvious source of a hitherto unknown - prosperity. The most effectual mode of promoting a better system of Af cri cul ture is to bring it into immediate connexion with. the mainsf acture of its of own productions Commercialoductions the Plants, eCompany will therefore encoura. re 'the growth sive and highly remunerative Manufaacstmuraey form the basis of t!.x ten s. It was the original intention of its promoters, that the Con al any should itself undertake these manufactures, but upon more n ta.ture deliberation, it has been deemed prudent to limit its objects, as atl de vote its attention to the reclaiming, improvement, and resell is ig of 'land alone; at the same time that it is prepared to promote by all the means in its power the cultivation of root and textile playas so peculiarly suited to the soil and Climate of WeStern Ireland', as' Sugar-beet, Flax, Chicory, &c., &c... It is needless to insist upon 'the great advantages' of a It( syel Charter, by which the liability of a shareholder is, limited to the amount of his shares, but even were this out of the quest dots, it would be difficult to obtain a better security for the outlay of capital than improvable land at its present prices in Western Ir ehind. A clause in the Charter provides for the allocation of one-I of firth of the subscribed capital as an " Improvement Fund," to b e ex pended in effecting surface and arterial drainage, reclaiming., and generally improving and rendering marketable the estates uf the Company. it is further provided, than on the sale of any of the lands of the Company, the produce is to be either divided rateably among the shareholders, or re-invested in further purchases. The Directors feel that it does not become them to speak , of the amount of anxiety and deliberation which they have bestow ed. in framing a plan at once 'practicable in its details, 'and wort by 01 public confidence, but they think that it ought to bo known as a fact calculated to encourage those who embark their capital in th is un dertaking, that the present is the only scheme out of many N Odds have been submitted to the Board of Trade, whose professed olajects and proposed operations have met the approbation of her Maj, ms ty s Government, as testified by the grant of a Royal Charter and tine ap pointment of a Government Auditor.- In a review of Mr. Digby Seymour's recent work* on W , a3teria Ireland, the " Bankers' Magazine" (Jan. 1852), after, stating . , that the Reviewer's intention was ti treat the question o s imply as a financial one," thus emphatically proNunces its opinion upon the present scheme, " We believe it has a claim on the attenti Ma of capitalists that will ensure its success." Other authorities al xand in expressions of a similar confidence, but the Directors feel t h.at a simple statement of the views they entertrin, and the objects (se the present undertaking, will not require the aid of authority, or any argument on their parts to ensure its favourable reception- with a discerning public.

INDIA AND CHINA. I A summary of the following, received by Electric Telegraph, appeared in our paper of Saturday:—] We havo received by express from Marseilles our dis patches in anticipation of the Overland Mail, which loft Bombay on the 17th ult., and Hong-Kong on the 30th of December. The following is the letter of our correspondent at Bombay : " The Burmese are said to have shown the white feather, and to have acceded to the demands made by our Government. What these may have been is not known. The steamer Tenasserim reached Calcutta on the 6th, bringing iutelligenee of the fact above stated, and dispatches from Commodore Lambert for the Go verner-General, re main a secret. On is 7 Golden-footed Majestythe purport of w hi c h w ill o f course --ew Year's-day the answer of his to the Governor-General's dis patch was delivered t o C ommodore Lambert; together - with a reply from the Ministers at Ave to the gallant officer's own address, This letter contained expressions of sorrow that any misunderstanding should have hap pened between the British and the Burmese through the misconduct of the Governor of Rangoon—stating that that functionary had been recalled to Ava, and that the two Deputy-Governors were to conduct the duties of Government till a successor to the one now removed should be appointed. The, overnor of Promo was to inquire into the charges preferred against the disgraced ruler, and indemnify all British subjects for injuries sustained at his hands, and to exert himself to re-establish friendly: relations with us. The Prome Governor, was expected to reach Rangoon by the sth, when matters would most robably be settled satisfac torily. The necessity fft appointment of a consular agent at Rangoon to Prat our interests, or rather those of the British residents at that town, was urged on Commodore Lambert by the residents, and there is no doubt of their recommendation being attended to. All Rangoon, for doubts wo u ld tos t e h e e m shi good faith of the Burmes e Sovereign, owing to the alacrity with w hi c h a ll our de mands had been acceded to. As m an y as 1 00,000 sol diers are said to have been mustered a t R angoon an d p ships of entertained war remained o f the off elsewhere ready to do battle, when the letter of the So vereign put an end to all warlike preparations. Com modore Lambert's conduct during the recent proceed ings has been highly praised for coolness, forbearance, and determination. It is to be hoped that all necessity for a resort to hostilities has been put an end to, for no good end could be gained from fighting by either party; if we get everything we demand without expense and bloodshed so much the better. A correspondent of the Calcutta Englishman gives the following account of the presentation of the King's letter to Commodore Lambert on board the Fox frigate:— " The scene on shore at the wharf opposite the fri gate, when the letters were brought down, was well worth seeing, but requires a better pen than mine to describe with full effect. There were armed men sta tioned on both sides of the road, as far as the eye could reach, in the most grotesque and mixed uniforms. A discharge of heavy guns was heard in the distance, which we knew to be at the Governor's house, from the position of the smoke, and also that they were intended as a salute to the letter, most probably at the moment of its departure. It about 25 minutes after, three splendid elephants were observed coming towards the wharf, with two or three people on each howdah, and eight golden umbrellas. All the other wharfs along the river were crowded with spectators. The elephants were brought close to the wharf ,when they knelt down and the riders dismounted; after a. short delay, three boats were seen approaching the frigate in lino, and in them officers of different ranks, several of whom came on board, while their boats shoved off to make room for the fourth boat, bearing the letters, which were placed in the bows, to prevent any one being in front of them, and shaded from the, sun by three golden umbrellas.' "The forces ordered to assemble at Roree, in Upper Scinde, are all on their way. What the object of its as semblage can be is matter of conjecture. Ali Moored, of Rhyrpore, has not the least intention of opposing us, and is encamped at Roree, awaiting the arrival of the Commissioner to learn what it is all about, offering to bring his contingent to operate with us, as be imagines we are bent on something. Mr. Frere left Kurachee on the 29th of December, and Kotree for Roree on the 10th. General Manson, on whom the command of the force has devolved, left Hyderabad on the same day for the same destination. The Kuraohee troops, under Brigadier Stopford, , 64th Foot, were encamped at Hyderabad, awaiting orders to move upwards. The Mooltan brigade moved out of that city on the 3d, under Brigadier Hewitt, and was to move down on Khyrporc, via Baha wulpore and the Indus. The ruler of Herat is said to have solicited our aid to prevent himself from being de posed by Dost Mabonaed of Cabul, and that this is the cause of the assemblage of troops in Upper Scinde, whence they will prneeed to Herat. This is extremely improba ble; we had enough of such folly in 1839.42, to prevent our embroiling ourselves again in Central Asia, un less destiny' is again at work urging us on. The force which will shortly be congregated at Roree will be as follows:—Her Majesty's 64th Foot, Ist troop of Bom bay Horse Artillery, Ist company of Sappers and Miners, Brett's Battery of Bombay Artillery, a company of Bengal European Artillery, the 2d Scinde Horse, the sth Bengal. Irregular Cavalry, the Ist and 15th Bombay and 12th and 41st Bengal Native Infantry—in all pro bably full 6,500 men The siege train is also in prepa ration at Sukkur, which certainly gives some colouring to the idea that we are about to proceed somewhere and do something, but where and what are profound secrets. The invalids of her Majesty's regiments from the Pune jaub and north-west reached Hyderabad by the Indus on the Bth and 9th, and left on the 10th for Kurachee, where the Berenice and Auckland steamers await their arrival to bring them on to Bombay.

LevEurooe, FEB. 14.—At yesterday's market the business was again limited in every article of the grain trade. Tuesday's quotations were continued, as holders were indisposed to make any concession of consequence, nor is there the least change to -day. MANCHESTER, FEB. 14.—N0 material change has occurred in the state of the trade during the week, a very inactive feeling having continued to prevail, but without any disposition on the part of holders to relax in prices. Increased supplies of oats and oatmeal gont Ireland have been received at Liverpool and Runcorn, but of other articles thence, or of any other produce coastwise, the imports are very light. From abroad not a single entry of wheat has been reported, the only arrivals con sisting of about 1,000 sacks of French and 400 barrels of Ame rican flour, and 4,000 quarters of Indian corn. At our market this morning-, with a very limited amount of business passing, there was much disinclination manifested to give way in prices ; still where sales occurred in either wheat or lour the turn must be noted slightly in favour of buyers. Oats and oatmeal firmly supported the currency of this day se'nnight. NOTTINGHAM, FEB. 14.—The supply of wheat at our market to-day was less than on last Saturday, and the trade was firm at the prices of that day. The supply of barley was not large, but the maltsters got the price down l s per quarter. Of oats there was a good show, without change in value. New beans were rather dearer. At Woodbridge wheat was firm, but barley was reduced Is. At Bury both wheat and barley maintained their rates ; clover-seed was cheaper. At Stowmarket good wheat sold quite as dear ; inferior samples were dull, but not cheaper. On Thursday, at the great barley-market of Herts, Bishop's Stortford, barley was 6d per quarter cheaper. DUBLIN, FEB. 13.—We continue to have a small supply of farmer's wheat with scarcely any prime quality, and we make a reduction of 6d per barrel in our extreme quotations of Tuesday. Superior samples of barley ae,l oats maintained their prices, but ether descriptions met a dull sale, and lower rates were submitted to. Very little doing in foreign wheat, and Indian corn dull without change in price. DALKEITH, FEB.

FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHAREg. To the Directors of the West of Irela n d Land Investment Company, CORK, FEB. 13. The supplies of native grain are small and continue to be taken at full prices. Oats indeed are eagerly purchased at a further advance of 4d per barrel on black—the receipts for the week consist of 530 barrels of wheat, 808 of barley, and 4,883 of oats. The operations in the prepared and foreign market have been very limited, prices, however, rule about the same. We quote Marianople wheat 25s 6d to 263; Ghirka, 255 to 25s 6d; Polish Odessa, 23s 6d to 24s 6d per barrel. The flour trade is dull, but quotations are not lowered. Bakers are in good stock, and until their requirements again bring them forward, we do not look for much animation in this article. Indian corn has receded about 2s 6d per ton on the week, and the active demand which hitherto began in this month has not as yet manifested itself. Coarse and inferior four seems gra dually being substituted for it. We write Galata, 7153; 'brad, 71; and Ancona, 61 15s per ton, with a small demand. Barrels.

" The weather at Bombay is now delightfully cold, and Europeans enjoy it much; but it is causing the death of numbers of the poorer class of natives, who are badly clothed and worse housed, cholera being very prevalent, caused by bad food and exposure to the cold.

A portion of the wall at the fort at Dubb is said to have tumbled down; it is to be garrisoned by a wing of the 71st Na tive Infantry. Ou the 28th It. the force was to have changed ground to Tungee where another fort is to be erected. A n Eusufzaie village under our pro tection, named Mooklakund, was on Christmas - day at tacked by a body o f 800 horsemen ' and 1,000 foot, but they received such a reception as to make them quickly turn tail and run for it. Captain James had been imme diately sent to the assistance of the villagers as soon as news of the attack reached us. The marauders, on this occasion, were from the neighb our ing valley of Swat, the chief of which trib e h as avowed his determ i nat i on to a ttack us on our own ground, Her Majesty ' s 32d Foot h a d accordingly bee n h astened on by Sir Colin, and the gallant corps under Colonel Markham left Rawul Pindee to join him on the 29th ult. Her Majesty ' s 22d had reached this latter station. Sir W. Gomm was to have reached Peshawur on the 3d, he being at Noushera, a f e w miles off, on the 2d. It is not at all unlikely Brigadier Hod was expected the old General may visit Sir Colin's camp before hisreturn. a t Bunnooin January - A new fort i s being At erec ted at Bahadeor li bel, where the 4th Pun jaub infantry is located, Hodgson and around ICohat the moat perfect tranquillity prevailed, which is attributed to the able m anner in which Captain Coke, the Commissioner, deals with the chiefs. It turns out that Messrs. Carne and T app were murdered by plun derers, the chief knowing nothing of the matter. The unfortunate gentlemen had been warned not to proceed they w ould not be ad v i se d. Colonel Mackeson had left L a h ore f or P es h awur.

Strange to say, the removal, dismissal, resignation, or t o C h o i l s o whatever else it may be termed, of Colonel .

This most distinguished eel experiecsced officer has also come before the world in the shape of a pamphleteer oa the national defences. He thus concludes his com mon-sense brochure:— " I have not, ;in this pamphlet, entered much into the question of improving arms, because writers in abundance, with names and without names, have said enough to make our troops lose confidence in the queen of weapons,'—vis., the musket and bayonet, which, as far as I can judge, is the best. However, m en w i th as much experience, and who are better soldiers than I am, hold contrary opinions. Still I maintain that before the musket and bayonet are condemned, these gentlemen ought, in common fairness, to do that which they have not yet done—vis e have a musket made which costs as much money as the minii rifle, to compare with the latter weapon. They produce a highly finished, be au . tiful minis rifle, costing a large sum of money, and they try it on Woolwich practice-ground. • Now, 1 have not any confidence in such a trial, where a musket, which costs about a pound, is pitted against a niinie rifle that costs nrobibly t oor fifccen guineas. Let the musket cost fifteen g uineas, and then try it. L e t th e p ow d er used with both be the very worst that can be made ('or on such the Yate of a campaign may, by the accidents of mar, depend). Take two hardy, uncouth, stupid soldiers ;. give on.) the simple but well , finished 'musket, costing exactly the sam prier as the mini& rifle, with which arm the other soldier. Let t ach fire sixty rounds, and then change arms, and fin, six , v more, the whole with bad powder; and if the miele 'beats the musket in rapid &tor, in rsnge, and in hitting the arget, which should. he six yards long by six feet in hi ight, end that the mime hss exactl. ?he musket br,re, and the ammunition not hJavier, then I think the minie rifle should be tried by two whole regiments u s a further experiment, sad those regiments should fire 60 round» of ball cartridge every day, alternately, for one year; and let two more regiments, with muskets as costly and well-finished as the minie rifles, he tried in like manner. Then the results, noted accurately in all their details, would be in some degree decisive; but both weapon s must always be used with the worst description of powder, and by two marching regiments, commanded by men who will suffer no tricks to be played off, and to be under the command of a strict general officer. I laugh at battle powder, a sixteen-guinea rifle, used by a dead shot, and all such humbug,' with champagne luncheons at Woolwich, to the great damage of offi cer ,. pockets, and distinguished foreign travellers' up ! plauding. This is no trial of weapons fit for war. Firing in a dark night, rainy weather, tired soldiers, clumsy fingers, made more stiff by cold, empty bellies, not a drop of champagne to wash the experiment down, bat a stern will to shoot all foreigners' the moment they become distinguished' in the gloom of the night or dawning of the day! We do not want fire-arms in the infantry for individual combat, but for combat in masses, where the nice aim of the deerstalker is not wanted, and human nature will not take it till men grow old in war and become more calm in danger than those who are less practised; and even then the veteran cannot see through the dense smoke of battle; he knows well that to level low and to load quick is his game. If the minie rifle be really an improved musket, I have not another word t o say against it; but this is not yet proved; and before the nation arms its 100,000 men with such weapons, the fact should be very clearly demonstrated. For my part, I don't think the old distich holds good as regards Brown Bess'— 'Tis good to be off with the old love Before you are on with the new.' I would by no means ' be off with my old love,' till the new one's temper has been better tried. However, you gentlemen, whose chief work would be distant shots, avoiding a close encounter with the enemy, unless a good opportunity offers for ' skivering him,' as the soldiers say; you may have ' battle powder' and champagne too, if y ou p l ease; you may try the mime rifle. The weapon that best pleases you who are dead shots is the best for you, always provided that it carries a musket ball; for there must not be two sixes of ball for the small arms of an army. This is imperative. " One subject more, and I have done, for my pamphlet is already too long. It is on railroads, to which the public appears to me to attach an undue importance. I do not much like to say anything about this, because the subject fo rt.ilroaos bears on the grand gene ral plans of defence which the Duke has no doubt formed in his own mind, and wilt execute, if you gentlemen give him the mean s of execution; and on these any suggestions from a humble individual like myself would be presumptuous and im pertinent in the extreme. But I am free to say that I cannot see any great military advantage in the rail ways. The trains may perhaps be used with advantage in bringing troops together rapidly at first —say the first two or three days. They may also possibly be useful in bringing provisions together. But beyond the first days I see no advantage. The movements of contending ar mies could not be regulated by railways for one moment. I imagine they would embarrass a commander, for they would force him to make movements to cover them or to take them up. I confess that I have not much faith iri railways as regards war, except in India. " In the foregoing pages I have carefully abstained from politics. Ido not pretend to conjecture whether the President of France will invade England, or whether he will first quarrel with other powers, or maintain peace. I neither know his character nor his intentions nor what he may be forced to do by circumstances. He may endeavour to make the Rhino idle French frontier. - He:may attack Egypt. -Ho may attack Malta. He may invade Etigtaied. He may take the Channel Islands. Hst may invade.lrelad. Ho may Nei the part of Wash ington. Ha may do all, these things. He has the courage, the abilities, th e s t rengt h, an d t h e secrecy r necessary ; but I have entered into no discussion of such matters, because it is .not necessary to my object, nor would it be becoming in one who neither has, nor seeks to have any public employ. ment, but who has none of that want of moral courage which fears to be ridiculed as 'an alarmist.' I Aangh when I 'see men begin with ' I am nu alarmist,' and go on to show that they are. I think that, when every one believes the country to be in danger we should prepare to meet-it ! Ido not believe that there is any danger if we are bold and prepared to meet it; but I believe we are in great danger it we are not prepared. I shall not be listened to. How can an humble individual like myself expect to be listened to, when by the Duke of Wellington you have been ' forewarned' and are not ' fore-armed?' The greatest and the bravest men in England have sounded the alarm, and are not listened to! But if invasion takes place I shall have the satis faction of knowing that, in my own small sphere, I did my best to avert danger by preaching preparation, show ing that without great expense we can, by a few hou rs o f drill in the week, place England in such a posture that to invade her would be an enterprise, if not beyond the power of France, at least demanding her whole force. and even then prove fruitless ! As the numb er o f our regular troops is small you should recollect that from India you could recal your 30,000 old soldiers at once.. and let the East India Company raise European troops for itself. It has already six European battalions of its own, w hich are as good as ours. ~ iny, I hold that the militia and vaunteers, neither of which can leave England, are the proper forces to prepare for danger in time of peace. Confined to the sing!e object of defence, the arming of such a force can give no cause of umbrage to other nations. The whole world know t h at no gout. order a single man government r ent call to leave our shores.such a force It depends-on you, gentle men, to organise such a force, a and when asfe o b n e o c e au th e n sh i e s done, I should say that England:l would then have a force of such power that ' she could not be attacked without those great preparations on the part of an enemy that would give time to make more ex tended arragements on ours. The small increase of re gular troops now ordered is a plain proof that there is some apprehension on the part of our government. "As to our naval defence, I know nothing. It be longs to those general arrangements which I have no intention of touching upon. This letter is only too ex cite country gentlemen to form corps of volunteers, and aid them, a s t ar as I am able, to prepare for any mischief which the force of existing circumstances may produce. " Since writing the above I hear that the Government propose to call out the militia—it will, I hope, meet with your cordial support. The militia and plenty of volunzeer corps will place England in a position to defy invasion." RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. BRISTOL, FEB. 14.

EXTENIIITE SEIZURE oF WATCHES. — Au extensive seizure of watches has been made by the officers of the re venue. The particulars of the seizure have not transpired, but the cantur e was effected at a house at the west end of the town (not in the trade), and the valuable contraband articles were concealed in a manner well calculated, if pos sible, t o e lude the vigilance of the dicers. It is stated that the watches, amounting to several hundred in number, are of a very superior description, and are worth many thousand Muds, CHINA. The following is our correspondent's letter, dated Hong-Kong, December 30, 1851: " Ad v ices from England to the 24th of October reached US on the 15th inst. The chief matter of importance that we have to record this month is the total destruc- Lion of nearly the whole of the Chinese part of this town, 470 to 500 houses having been totally destroyed by fire on the night of the 28th. It is understood to have arisen from the firing off of crackers. Had it not been for a slight breeze springing up from the east, and the blow ing up by the engineers and artillery of several houses to stop the flames from extending, a great proportion of the European part of the town would also have been de stroyed, more particularly as there are grounds for be lieving that much gunpowder is stowed away in ware houses, notwithstanding the law to the contrary, and the punishment that may be inflicted for so doing. Ordi nances, however, have been found here, as must every where be the case, of no use in the absence of an efficient police " The Governor has ordered mat sheds to be erected, and food to be distributed among the needy. A good number of Chinese have, it is said, lost their lives. " We have now, however, to mention the most melan choly result of the fire—the deaths of Colonel Tom kyns and Lieutenant Sugg, of the Royal Artillery. Two privates of the same corps lie seriously wounded, and Lieutenant Wilson, of the Royal Engineers, in a pre carious state. The party were employed in blowing up a house. The _gunpowder from some - cause exploded sooner than expected, and while th e y were instte'l the building, Colonel Tomkyns was takes up sensible, but expired four hours atterwards. Lieutenant Sugg's body was entirely consumed by the fire; nothing but his sword was left. The death of men not only justly and highly , esteemed in their profession, but beloved and re spected by all, has cast a gloom over the community, as it, no doubt, will over a vast number of friends at home. " The Kwangsi rebellion continues, and the reports re specting it are, as hitherto, numerous and contradictory. The rich men of Canton have been called upon by Seu, the Viceroy, to subscribe large sums towards the ex penses of the war. The Canton market for imports has been rather in active. " Tea both at Shanghai and Canton has declined, and in both markets a considerable .business in blacks has been done. " The excess of export this year to Great Britain to this date is about 3,300,0001 b. In silk there is no alteration. To the present date the decrease in the ex ports to Great Britain is equal to about 1,000 bales. "The emigration of Chinese to California continues on a large scale. " The - David Malcolm, with a detachment of invalids from this garrison, leaves immediately. " In harbour there are her Majesty's ship Hastings, and her Majesty's steamer Sphynx ; her Majesty's steamer Salamander is at Whampoa, Hon. Company's steamer Nemesis at Canton, her Majesty's brig Lily at Amoy. Contest last at Ningpo. " Latest dates from England are to the 24th of Oc tober, Calcutta the 29th of November, Bombay the 20th of November, Singapore the 20th of December, Aus tralia the 20th of October, Manilla the 13th of De comber, Shanghai, the 23d of December." COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. REPORT ON THE STATE OF THE BOMBAY MARKETS, P ROM THE 3D TO THE 16TH OF JANUARY INCLUSIVE. MONEY-MARKET. The money-market continues in the same easy state as for some time past, and we have to report what is very unusual indeed at this season of the business year, a reductio❑ in the rates of interest at the Bank of Bom bay. The directors of that institution were only able to divide at the rate of 5i per cent. per annum for the half year just ended, and, as they had 60 lacs of rupees lying idle in their coffers, the present measure had doubtless been adopted with a view to bringing these funds into use, and, if possible, raising the rate of dividend on the current half-year's operations.
