On the 28th of September Major-General Sir John Hunter Littler, and Major-General Sir Dudley St. Leger Hill, were invested with the insignia of the Order of the Bath, at the Government House, Cal cutta, by the Right Hon. the Earl of Dalhousie, the Governor-General. The ceremony was of a most imposing character, and was succeeded by a grand festival. THE PUNJAUB. (From the Overland Calcutta Star, of October 7.) The defection of Shere Singh has induced a mutinous spirit among the Seikh troops beyond the Indus, and movements towards the central provinces have been re ported on their part. But the fords the mutineers have been occupied, and it is expected of the river will be kept in check, till General Walsh receives such reinforce. ments as will enable him to resume offensive operations. The disturbances in the Kaagra and Noorpoor dis tricts have been suppressed; the leader, Ram Singh was signally defeated by Major Fisher, his party entirely broken up, and himself a fugitive whose capture is ex pected every instant. At Peshawar down to the 18th inst. all was well; an attempt to effect a seizure of the guns of the division at that capital was frustrated in the contemplation of it, and though emissaries are hard at work to induce a demonstration in favour of Chuttur Singh, they have not yet been successful. Major Law rence is, however, sensible of the jeopardy in which he stands, and he demanded troops from La hore without loss of time. Captain Abbott is still in face of Chuttur Singh at Nara. He yet re frains from marching: towards Moultan until he can obtain the co-operation of the Peshawur division. and there are strong fears that' he will obtain it. At Lahore, it was resolved by a coup de main to garrison the fortress of Govindghur (which commands Umritsir) with British troops ; the attempt was made with great skill and crowned with success, and the Seikhs who had held possession in the name of the Durbar, were shown the door with much politeness. Meanwhile there is a general move of our army upon the north west frontier. The complement of each regiment has again been raised to 1,000 men, and the officers of those corps which are now in the Punjaub who are on the staff duty have been ordered to join without delay. Some of these gentlemen have been twenty years absent on civil employment, and would have been better disposed of by being permanently removed to such employment, their regimental places being otherwise supplied. The following is the latest advice from— Govindghur, 22d Sept., 1848. " Cocks left for Lahore this morning, in high spirits at the success of his trip; he remained an extra day, so as to complete all arrangements with Cul. McSherry. It was a very wise precaution taking charge of this fortress. Another day and we should have been too late, for the Sekhs bad already commenced making arrangements to give any troops who might presume to approach a warm reception. A party of 150 of the Guide Corps first of all obtained admittance into the fort, under the pretence of escorting prisoners, which was one of the Lahore ruses. The Seikh soldiers left the fort in a most sullen way, and the feeling in the city of Umritsir is very strong. The people are in an excited state, and publicly speaking of taking off the head of the Killadar, should opportunity offer; the poor man is quite happy at having us in the fort; and he says ho now sleeps comfortably without the prospect of losing his head. He seems to he an intelligent young man, speaks a little English, and is most anxious to learn and write—and become a real Killadar. " The 14th Irregulars leave to-night for Lahore, and the Ist, I fancy, will remain here for some time, until the army is formed, when it will be relieved. Col. M`Sherry is too good an officer to be cooped up here, when there is anything to be done in the field." Tt:e following is from a correspondent at Noorpoor. The letter bears date 20th Sept.:— " The following is an exact account of what has been going on here. You have heard ere this that a party was sent to this to catch Ram Singh, the son of the Vizier of the Noorpoor Raja, who was removed by the Commissioner in a somewhat summary manner, and according to all accounts dealt will too harshly. Ram Singh, disgusted at the treatment received by his father. joined Mahraja Singh, the Gooroo, but upon that worth's proceeding toward s Moulton, he returned to Noorpoor, and took up his quarters first in one place and then in another, and at last on a hill overlooking Noorpoor. Here he col lected oae hundred and fifty followers, defied all autho rity, looted the country, made prisoners et travellers, committed murder in cold blood, and eventually fired at the commissioner and officers who were with him. Orders were then dispatched for mere troops, and one company of the 29:h from Flake poor, four companies 71st from Rhoden Find, 250 men of Major Hodgsoo's Seikh corps from Hoshearpore, besides strong parties of the 15th and 16th Irregulars, 1 and 150 of the Hill Seikh Regiment tinder Lieutenant Wallace proceed e d hith er b y f orce d marches, from dif ferent stations; and on the night of the 18th all arrived in camp outside Noorpoor. The hill on which Ram Singh was encamped is a low, though steep spur— surrounded on three sides by the dry bed of a river, co vered with thick jungle, and accessible only by rude foot paths, on the dry bed of hill streams, and traversable only by ono man at a time. On the fourth side is the junction of the hill—to some low broken ground, wild and tjungly' —by a narrow ridge with dens, jungle on Dither side. We attacked the enemy on the morning of the 19th. The troops moved out of camp at hours corresponding with the respective distances they had to go. There were four parties. The Seikh Loantry, under Major Hodg son, and the Company's of the 29th under Lieutenant Johnson, attached the hill on the west by two paths. The 71st under Captain Rind, attacked the south side, and the hill men, under Lieutenant Wallace, attached the north side. The two latter forces, meeting at the top went along the ridge and thus got the enemy in front and rear. Ram Singh's pickets most olostinwely defended their poets—firing steadily at the advancing troops—and while they were. retiring, stopping to re-load and fire again. The loss on the part of the enemy, which mustered 250 or thereabouts, was between 50 or 60 killed and wounded. Our loss was as follows:—The 29th, 1 killed and 4 wounded. Tho Seikh Corps, none killed, but 4 or 5 wounded. The Irregular skirmished along the foot of the hill, and took 15 or 1G prisoners; but unfortunately Rain Singh escapd. Ono cannot have any sympathy with such a cold-blooded animal ; yet, it is generally believed that harsh and unnecessary measures have driven him to desperation. Major Fisher, of the Irregulars planned the attack, and displayed throughout that zeal and activity which in both services, met with commendetion.' CE YLON. We have received by the overland mail Ceylon papers to the 16th October. At that period the island was quite tranquil, the rebellion had been com pletely suppressed, the pretended King captured, and several of the rebels had been tried and executed. The Colonibo Observer of the 23d September gives the follovringfaccount of the capture of the pretender : "Kandy, Sept. 22, Eight o'clock, P.N. " The pretender was taken up yesterday, and we are all on the pi vivo to see him. Ho was taken up at Ma tells by six of Captain Watson's Riflemen—one of whom he knocked down. A Kandian gave the information. The ' King' has made, I understanel, a free and candid confession of the whol e affair. " The ' King' is said to have been formerly gardener to Alwis Modliar—and we hear that he implicates all the Kandian Headmen savejsix." The Legislative Council was opened on the 2d of October by the following speech from the Governor, Lord Torrington : Gentlemen of the Legislative , Council, — Since the close of the last s(''; ,; Al of the Legislative Council, important events have occurred in this colony, to which I desire briefly to call your attention. Yea are always aware that in certain portions of the Kandian districts, the evil designs of ambitious indivi duals taking advantage of the casual as well as traditional influence of their position over an ignorant population, have induced them to array themselve: , in open hostility to the Government; actual encounters have taken place Pie with her Majesty's forces, which have terminated, as might be expected, in the entire defeat and dispersion of ther insurgents, and must have convinced them of the that the individuria .. hopelessness of armed resistance to her Majesty's authority, , the Pretended - Kin who It le slit i dac i o to me to be able to announce to you, not only have yang' on this occasion was set up as bas now now been captured, and that already brought tO ° ulls partizans and followers been -mea ' e n w i t t a k ent, but important disclo sures have been pletely to establish the g u ill e" Will I hope suffice com- Deration of martial conspiracy. o f the originators of the late whicht:ch have been have every It is my earnestdesire that the law shall be terminated without dell confidence that the energetic measures; already successfully adopted, will suffice renewal of the late treasonable attempts. prevent any To the rapid and vigorous movements of her Mai_ sty a troops so ably conducted by the of f i cers entrustedewith their command, and to the prompt declaration of mar tial law in the disturbed districts, must it be attributed, that the actual insurrection was confined within very narrow limits. That future doubts and difficulties may be avoided, a Bill of Indemnity will be laid before you, for all hens fide acts done by the constituted authorities during the existence of martial law. Papers connected with this subject will be presented to you. The slight and passing excitement which has been raised in some other parts of the colony, arising from a variety of causes and misapprehensions, will not I trust be again renewed. I am persuaded that the feelings of the mass of the people will continue to be at all times peaceable and loyal. I am happy to inform y ou, that of the twenty-four ordinances which were passed. during the last session, nineteen have already received her Majesty's confirms tion. I shall have occasion to submit for your considera tion, a few slight amendments in the details of some of these ordinances, which will I hope be calculated to im prove and facilitate the operation of them. At a period of general commercial difficulty through out the world. Ceylon could scarcely escape the effects of an universal crisis. But it is gratifying to me to be able to state to you, that the net revenue of the year ending 31st December, 1847, exceeded that of 1846 by the sum of about 24,0001., which was in a great measure due to an increase in the receipts from customs. On the other hand the comparative expenditure for the same period was in reality somewhat less in 1847 than in the previous year. But notwithstanding the improved state of our finances for the past year as compared with that of 1846, the fact cannot be withheld from you, that the revenue of the year 1847 fell short of the expenditure within the same period by the sum of about 58,0001., although every effort has been made since my assumption of the Government, to restrict the expenditure within the narrowest possible limits. The surplus revenue accumu lated in more prosperous periods has at length become exhausted. It is however consolatory to find, as will appear from a statement which will be laid before you, that the revenue for the first six months of rho cumnt year has exceeded the expenditure for the same period by the sum of 14,5941. 12s 9d. But heavy expenses will have been in curred on account of the military operations since that period; ane it will be obvious to you that means must be found, by a rigid curtailment of outlay on the one band, and by the most cautious efforts to improve our revenue on the other, so as to adju.t our finances that the proper equilibrium may be constantly maintcd be tween the income and the expenditure of the colony. Upon this subject communications will shortly be sub mitted to you; and I am haopy to be able to announce to you that it is the direction of her Majesty's Govern ment, that the entire expenditure of the Colony, fixed as well as contingent, shall be brought under the review of the Legislative Council. _ The de - pression under which the Colony is at present suffering in common with other parts of the world, will I trust gradually give place to more cheering prospects. / can perceive no ground for despondency. The abolition o the export duties will afford some relief to the Agricultural and Commercial interests, although at a sacrifice to the public revenue ; and I feel confident that when the temporary depres sion shall have passed away, the prospects of the plant ing interests generally will revive, and that new sources of industry and advancement will be developed. I trust that no efforts wili be wanting to secure the hating peace and tranquillity of the country, so essen tial to the welfare and prosperity of the, people. I confidently rely upon your loyalty, and your anxious desire to co-operate with me at all times in the adoption of such sound and wholesome measures as will be calculated, under the blessing of Providence, to se cure the happiness and contentment of all classes of the inhabitants. ~.: The address of the Council in , answer was a mere echo of the speech, -- A Bill of Indemnity for the Governor, and all act ing unper his auth o rity, f o r cer t a i n ac t s done during the existence of martial-law, was read a first time, and there was no doubt but that it would be carried. Martial-law ceased on the 10th October. The financial statemenr of the colony for 1848 showed ;an excess of revenue over expenditure of 14,5941. 12s. 9icl. There were great complaints fur the want of la bourers. BATIIRIDAY ITALY. The Alba of Florence of the 10th states that the Papal Ministry had refused to grant a free passage to General Garibaldi and his forces across the Roman territories. MOLDAVIA AND WALLACHIA. Letters from Jassy state that 4,000 infantry of the Modlin Regiment, with eight pioces of heavy artil lery, have entered Moldavia from Leona, and have proceeded in the direction of Berlad and Tekutsch to Wallachia. General Vocht, after making a com plete circuit of inspection in Moldavia, has entered Berlad, where he is now stationed with a battalion of the regiments of Raga. It is positively affirmed that as the public treasury of llusch is completely exhasted, the Russian Go vernment has sent thither 300,000 silver rubles, as a loan from tf.e Russian Government for covering the expenses of victualling the Russian troops in Mol davia. A report has been in circulation here that the officers of the Hungarian Customs, as well as a large number of Szeklers, have been expelled from the villages along the Moldavian boundary, and were taking refuge in Moldavia. The Moldavian Boundary. Post Commandant brought this intelligence, - which was submitted to a council composed of the governing Princes, the Russian General Molner, and M. Tu mansky. It was determined that the said civil offi cers should be permitted to enter Moldavia, but not the Szeklers, and that 1,000 men, partly Russian and Moldavian soldiers, should be forthwith ordered to the endangered boundary districts.

MASTER ATTENDANTS.—We have heard from good authority that the Committee of Dockyard Revision, have recommended the abolition of the office of Quen's Harbor Master at.

DUBLIN, Nov. 17.—Yesterday afternoon Mr. Smith O'Brien and Messrs. Meager, O'Donoghue, and M e sdanus, arrived. in Dublin by the ordinary train of the Great Western - Railway. The whole party was conveyed from the station to the prison without the oc currence of the slightest excitement, although competent measures had been adopted by the authorities to prevent or subdue any untoward manifestation which might have arisen. At the sitting of the court this morning the prisoners will be brought into the Queen's Bench to assign errors in their respective eases, at ter which judg ment will be given in the case of Mr. Martin. By a letter received in Dublin from Mr. John Dillon, his safe arrival In New York has been at length an nounced. Mr. James F. Lalor has been admitted to bail, but the prisoner was in such a weak sta'e that he could not 134 removed from Newgate. It is expected that he will be able to leave the prison in a day or two. The Cork Examiner, of Wednesday, says: " Yesterday all the gentlemen confined under the Habeas Corpus Suspension Act were liberated, with the exception of Mr. Denny Lane and Mr. William Pen nington. They are Mr. M. J. Barry, the Messrs. Varian, Mr. F. Mullan, and Mr. D. Corcoran. They were warmly congratulated by their friends on being once more permitted to breathe the free air, and do not seem a: all reduced in health or spirits by their incarceration. Sincere sympathy is felt for the continued imprisonment of Mr. Lane." POLICE INTELLIGENCE. SOUTHWARK. Thomas Harrison, a painter and glazier, living in New-street, Webber-street, Lambeth, and his wife, were brought before Mr. Cottingbam, charged with cruelly ill-treating Elizabeth, their daughter. Mr. COTTINGHAM said, from the child's appearance, it was quite evident that she was in a state of starva tion, and that she was cruelly used by those who ought to be her protectors. The magistrate then asked Harrison what he had to say in answer to so serious a charge. Harrison—lt's false; she is not starved. She lives the same as we do, but she has such an appetite that she will pick up any filth out of the kennel, if we let ber go out, and eat it. We dare not let her go into the street on that account. Mr. COTTINGHAM—The girl has marks of severe chas tisement upon her person. What do you say to the charge of beating her? Harrison—She beats herself, she is such a bad tem per, and knocks her head against the wall enough to break her skull. That is the reason of the lumps being now felt on her head. Mr. COTTINGHAM said that it was manifest, by the girl's appearance, that she had not a sufficiency of food; that, in fact, she was starved. He was astonished a father should stand up and assert that she had plenty of victuals, and shared alike with himself and his fel low•prisoner, when she was seen to eat up ravenously potato peelings and fish bones, which were designed for an animal. It was a case of such an aggravated nature that he was determined the prisoners should be sent before a jury ; but, with the view of completing the charge against them, and having the evidence of a medical man, he should remand them until Wednesday next. WESTMINSTER. William Davis and John Hughes, two determined looking fellows, were charged with the following daring highway robbery:— At about six o'clock on the previous evening James Horton, a very intelligent lad, between 14 and 15 years of age, was walking along Cadogan-place, Sloane street, with a bundle under his arm, when the prisoners sud denly made their appearance in front of him; and Hughes, having snatohed the parcel with great violence, ran off with it. The lad was about to follow, when Davis stopped him and thrust him against some iron railings, and upon his making a second effort to follow, Davis knocked him down, and then ran off in a contrary direc tion to that taken by his companion. Mr. Tuck, of Ca dogan-place, florist and nurseryman, hearing the boy's cries of "Police" and "Stop thief," followed Hughes, who was running with the bundle in his hand, until the robber, on turning the corner of a street, actually rushed into the arms of a policeman, who, hearing an alarm given, was hastening to the spot whence it proceeded. Hughes, who threw the bundle down at the moment of his capture, stoutly declared in five minutes afterwards that he had never seen it. Davis was apprehended some hours afterwards, and, although placed amongst a number of others, was immediately recognised by the boy as one of his assailants. Davis, on finding that he was about to be committed, coolly observed that he should reserve. his defence until his trial. Hughes, in the course of a long rambling story, endeavoured to persuade the magistrate that he had been captured by mistake as he was endeavouring to overtake the real offender. The prisoners were committed to the Central Criminal Court for trial. WORSHIP- STREET. Charles Scales, iTioung man of wretched appearance, was charged before Mr. Arnold with having stolen a silver watch from the shop of Messrs. W a lk er and Brown, watchmakers and jewellers, in High-street, Whitechapel. Edward Perkins, shopinan to the prosecutors, stated that between five and six o'clock on Wednesday even ing the prisoner entered th e _ shop and r equested to be shown a silver watch, which was marked in the window at twenty-five shillings. The watch was placed before him, but after cursorily inspecting it, he objected to it as being too small; and, having asked for a h unt i ng _ watch o f larger size, witness turned round to procure one of that description, when the prisoner suddenly snatched the first watch from the counter, and dart,,d out of the shop. Witness hastened after him, but en reaching the street the prisoner had disappeared, and he sa w no more of him until the preceding evening, when he was brought to the shop in the custody of a policeman- Police•constable Ross, 13 50, stated that while on duty the previous night in Whitechapel the prisoner came up to him, and having alluded to the robbery which had been committed at the prosecutors' shop on the former evening, intimated that he was the thief, and that he wished to surrender himself. The prisoner further said that he had endured so muoh,distress and privation from his inability to procure any employment at his business of a tailor, that he did not care what became of him, and was anxious to be sent out of the country. On ask ing what hod become of the watch, the prisoner said that he had sold it for 95., and he regretted that there was no means of recovering it. On being asked he had any questions to put to the witness, the prisoner, in a desponding tone, answered in the negative; they had only stated what was the truth, and he had nothing to add to it. The MAGISTRATE ordered him to be remanded for a week for the completion of the evidence. THE COUNTRY MARKETS. WAKEFIELD, FRIDAY.—The supplies this week are moderate of wheat and good of other grain.

HULL COMMERCIAL REPORT, Nov. 15.—0 f linseed the arrival this week is insignificant us compared with previous supplies; we notice 448 quarters from Arch angel, and 1,324 quarters from Konigsberg; together 1,772 quarters. The Archangel is going to warehouse for winter sale; the latter is on the market, and partly sold. Rapeseed arrivals are to a limited extent; the lateness of the season will prevent supplies of moment reaching us in this year from Denmark or Germany. We do not notice any change in demand, which is trifling, and the quotations remain at 241 per last. Brown rape oil has become flatter, and a reduction of lOs per ton accepted. For linseed cakes there is at last a little more animation in the demand, and the amount of busi ness done is considerable since last Friday. Of bones no supplies fresh up. or business in them.

Old beans in request, and the turn dearer. BURY ST. EDMUND'S, Nov. 15,—We had a fair sup ply of wheat here to day, and the 'trade much as last week. Barley was more than equal to the demand; coarse qualities may be quoted fully 2s per quarter lower, and the best description Is, buyers acting with great caution, even at this reduction. Very few beans and peas, at about late prices. Fine oats commanded quite as much money; interior sorts dull of sale. STOWMARKET, Nov. 16.—Our farmers being still en gaged in seeding, the supply of corn at market to-day was not large, yet sales were slow for wheat at about last week's prices.

RAIL WAY INTELLIGENCE. AMBERGATE, NOTTINGHAM, AND BOSTON AND EASTERN JUNCTION. Yesterday a special general meeting of the proprietors in this company was held at the eieorge and Vulture Tavern, to receive the report of the committee appointed at a meeting of the proprietors on the 6th inst., and to adopt such measures as in the present state of the com pany's affairs might appear expedient. Mr. Arthur . Briggs, of Lewes, took the chair. The CHAIRMAN read the report. It stated that in pursuance of the instructions given the committe had caused the necessary notices to be given of application to . Parliament for powers in the ensuing session to limit the undertaking to the construction of the line between Bulwell, Nottingham, and Grantham, to reduce the capi tal to 650,0001., and to obtain powers for the amalgama tion, sale, or lease of the line to the Great'Northern or Midland Companies. This proposal had been con sidered by the board of directors, but on a division a majority decided agiinst such application being_.,. made. It was of the highest importance that every means should be taken to limit the responsibilities of the proprietors, and to reduce the outlay on construction of,. new works. The adoption of the course suggested would remove alt apprehension as ..to the extent of the proprietors' liabilities, and restore their.proßerty to its fair value. The complete info rmat i on acquired by the committee in their investigation touching the superioe value of the portion of the line in course of construction, and the interior prospects presented by all other parts of the undertaking, imposed the necessity of adopting r this course. Notice to this effect had been given to 800 proprietors, and replies had been received from 600, of whom only 29 dissented from the proposal. Tho direc tors had intimated that if Parliamentary notices were given at all, the proprietors must do it for themselves: , If the capital were now reduced to 650,0001., as more , than one-half had already been paid, the very object required by the shareholders of seeking powers to re duce the capital would be to bring the company within the beneficial operation of the resolutions of Parliament • for amalgamation. The CHAIRMAN proceeded at some length to amplify on the report, and a long discussion ensued, in which Mes:rs. Field, Kettrick, Brooks, and others took part. An amendment to the adoption of the report was pro• posed by Mr. Nictiou., to the effect that it. was the opi.; nion of the meeting that further litigation on the corn- • ' pany's affairs would at the present time be only detri mental to its interests. The amendment, on being put to the vote, 'Wactost by a majority of 30. A requisition was then agreed to calling upon the di.•• rectors to convene an early meeting, signed by twenty. shareholders, representing an aggregate share interest. of 20,0001. in the comp a ny, t o ta k e i nto cons id erat i on . the question of limiting the undertaking and capitak and to obtain powers to amalgamate with either the Great Northern, the Midland, or Eastern Connate' Company; to adopt measures for an improved minage-'. menr, and to make a change in the present board of directors, who, in the mean time, are called on to ab stain from making any further calls. OPENING OF THE LIVERPOOL, BOLTON, AND BURY RAILWAY. LIVERPOOL, Nov. 17.—T0-day the formal opening of this railway t iok place.. The line is cobsidered one of great importance, and it will take in all the goods and passenger traffic 'from Yorkshire, and the whole of the coal traffic from Bolton and the neighbouring districts. The morning being exceedingly unfavourable prevented the attendance of directors and their friends from being so numerous as it would otherwise have been. Shortly after ten o'clock several of the principal directors, with other persons either directly or indirectly interested in the working of the line, assembled at the station now in course of erection in Great Howard-street. A train of handsome carriages, comprising three first, three second, and one third class carriage, were attached to the engine, and shortly before eleven o'clock, all being ready, the party left the station amidst the congratulations of the spectators who.had assembled to witness the proceedings. A dinner or lunch was to b 3 provided at Bolton, when it was expected the usual interesting proceedings connected with the opening of a new line of railway would take place. The train would return to Liverpool in the evening. The cost of the line is estimated at 900,0004, which includes the expense of the land. The line liits.icS over 26 bridges, and 48 bridges cross the road. There are six viaducts, and the road enters Liverpool at the north end over . 117 arches. The..principal station will shortly be erected in Tithebarn-street, and the arches will have to be extended to the centre of the town. The line will effect a saving in the distance to Wigan .of about five miles, and in.goin g f rom Wi gan to Bolton the journey will only occupy about 15 minutes, which previ ously took two hours. The line has been inspected by Captain Wynne, the Government inspector, who ex pressed his approbation of the manner in which the work has been performed. The railway will be opened for the daily tranzanission of goods and passengers on Monday next.
