CUTTING REMAItIi6 ON "THE CUT OF YOUR CLOTH." The little word " cut," which I punningly use, IVIII serve me to " cut" a new track for my muse. The " cut of your cloth," is a popular phrase, Which of course may be taken in different ways ; But the ylain acceptation on which I lay stress, Appears to be simply the style of one's dress. Now to " cut a good figure," one thing must be done, I mean you must "cut" to E. MOSES and SON. For the " cutting remark" has been oftentimes made, That they " cut" a respectable figure in trade. The "cutters" of MOSES, beyond any doubt, In " cutting" out dresses " cut" rivalry out. And so thick do the orders flock in every day, That the " cutters" are constantly " cutting away." The eyes of the public have never been shut To the merit of MOSES in point of their " cut." They suit the most difficult taste to a nick, And you'll never have reasons for " cutting" your stick. In quality, too, 'tie a candid admission, That MOSES and SON have " cut" up competition. And take it for granted there's no fear of saving, Since the prices are " cut" to the very last shaving. A trial will prove, as it ever has done, These " cutting remarks" of E. MOSES and SON. N.B.—E. MOSES and SON invite especial attention to their pre- Sent Stock of juvenile attire. The designs are elegant and unique, and the workmanship and materials are such as to command univer sal approbation, while at the same time the prices are unusually mo derate. LIST OF PRICES.

Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em witter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosiug hurry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical Incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form au item in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or Neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

STRICTURES OF TIIE URETHRA: Prevalent and Dangerous Errors in their Treatment. Just published, price 55., (by post free, Gs.,) Bvo., in cloth , THE PATHOLOGY AND RATIONAL TREATMENT of STRICTURES of the URETHRA, in all their Varieties and Complications. With Practical Observations no the Use and Abuse of Instruments in the Treatment of Urethral Dis eases, showing that the unnecessary employment of instruments is a frequent exciting cause of stricture, and that a want of practical knowledge and manual dexterity in their use, when necessary, is the source of most of the severe, long-protracted, and complicated cases of that disorder so fatally pi evalent. The whole illustrated by nu merous cases. excited have altogether disappeared. Rumours have been current as to the satisfactoriness of the state of mat ters at Lahore, the disposition of Ghoolab Singh to prove false, and the general tendency of the Seikhs to rise against us. Nothing has yet occurred beyond the ori ginal outbreak to give us any reason to believe them grounded in the slightest foundation. The best evidence that they were no party to any conspiracy is the strong probability that ne conspiracy ever existed. The insur gent chief, finding himself now involved with us, is likely to do all he can to injure us, to implicate others in his guilt, and excite his countrymen against us. We are meanwhile using all precautions to prevent the con sequences should serious mischief arise. The defences of Lahore are being improved and strengthened, and every precaution being adopted that our officers may be sub jected to no surprise. The political agents at outstations are reported to have been called in. On the 30th of April Shere Singh quitted Lahore with a force of 3,000 Seikhs, chiefly cavalry, dispatched by the Durbar for Mooltan ; they seemed chiefly intended to watch the movements of the insur gents, to prevent the turbulent from joining, and pro tect the villagers from plunder. Amongst the number less reports in circulation is one that the Nizam will probably make an attempt on Bahawulpore, in revenge for the assistance the Nawab was so anxious to afford our mission. A troop of horse artillery and a regiment of irregular cavalry reached Ferozepore on the 3d of May from Loodianah ; they moved by forced marches, and were in all likelihood meant to be employed in case of any such demonstration as that referred to being made. Officers of corps quartered at Lahore, absent on leave, have been ordered to join without delay, and the troops all along the line of frontier have been directed to hold themselves in readiness to move at a mo ment's warning. Similar arrangements are making in Bombay to meet the possibility of troops from Sinde being desired to be sent up the river, whose places may be taken by others from the presidency. As already stated, the alarm originally excited by the insurrection has in a great measure subsided, and it is on all hands agreed that nothing is likely to be at tempted till after the rains, by which time it is not im possible the rebel Dewan may have discovered the utter Hopelessness of his case, and of his own accord sued for terms. The most inveterate enemies of the policy of Lord Hardinge are constrained to, acknowledge that his military arrangements to protect the frontier are perfect. At Sukkur there is a fine siege train, with a supply of mortars of the largest size ; and at Ferozepore the train of heavy guns can scarcely be surpassed. There are three moveable brigades of 3,400 men each, which have always been kept fully equipped for movement at a mo ment's notice ; and Lord Hardinge insisted that their baggage cattle should be mustered and appointments ex amined once every month, to see that nothing was wanted to meet an emergency, however extreme. On the frontier beyond Meerut we have a force of 50,000 men, of whom 10,000 are Europeans, with 100 guns, all stationed with the utmost skill and judgment. As the cry has once more been raised that the reduction of the army effected by Lord Hardinge was premature and un wise, we may here reprint a statement which appeared in our columns ten months since, the perfect accuracy of which may be depended on : " The augmentations made in the Bengal army since 1837 amount in round numbers to 50,000 men. The re ductions which have been ordered in Bengal, including a Queen's regiment, which it is reported is to be sent home without being relieved, will amount to 30,000 men, and the saving of expense probably to 700,0001. a-year. In the Bombay army the reductions, including a Queen's regiment sent home, will amount to 7,000 men, at a probable saving of 300,0001. a-year; and in the Madras army to 10,000 men at a saving of 160,0004 a year. " Thus the reductions amount to 1,160,000/.* The tribute from Lahore is 220,000/. a-year, and the revenue from the newly ceded territory on the north-west fron tier 400,0001. The relief thus afforded to the finances of the country will amount to about 1,780,0001. "As regards the European force, which, according to report, it is intended should be retained in India—if a comparison be made of the European force which has been available for the suppression of internal commotion —and we have no external enemy to fear—it will be found that it is far larger _than it was at many former periods. " In Bengal, exclusive of artillery, the European force, consisted in 1837 of two regiments of cavalry and nine of infantry. " 1838—Two regiments cavalry, nine infantry—of which one regiment of cavalry and two of infantry were employed beyond the presidency in Affghanistan, " 1839—Two regiments of cavalry, 11 of infantry; similarly employed. " 1840—Two regiments of cavalry, 12 of infantry— of which six regiments of infantry were employed beyond the presidency—three in Affghanistan and three in China. " 1841—Two regiments of cavalry, 13 of infantry— of which five regiments of infantry were employed beyond the presidency—two in Affghanistan and three in China. _ _ " 1842—Three regiments of cavalry, 16 of infantry— of which two of cavalry and seven of infantry were em ployed beyond the presidency --four in Affghanistan and three in China. " 1843—Three regiments of cavalry, 14 of infantry— of which two were employed in China. " 1844—Three regiments of cavalry, 14 of infantry— of which three were employed beyond the frontier—one in Silvio and two in China. _ " 1845 —Th ree regiments of cavalry, 14 of infantry ; similarly employed. "By June, 1846, the number of infantry regiments on the Bengal establishment was, by the home authorities, augmented to 17, but before the reinforcements arrived from England the Klialsa army had been destroyed and peace proclaimed. "It is reported that the European force for Bengal, exclusive of as finery, is in future to consist of three regiments of cavalry and 11 of infantry, which is an in crease to the European force of one regiment of cavalry and two of infantry, as compared with the force of 1837. It will also be seen from the above statement, that the Bengal Presidency has ou more than one o ccasion been left with only six regiments of European infantry.: " The health, too, of the European force has not been neglected. Barracks for another entire regiment have been ordered to be built in the hills, and rumour has it that five or six companies of the European artillery are also to be located in the hills—thus affording to the men of that excellent force their fair share of the benefits of a residence in a salubrious climate. "As to Madras, it appears by the Army List of 1841 that although there were eight regiments of European infantry on the establishment, there were only live serv ing within the presidency, one being employed in China, one at Maulmain, and another at Aden. There are now seven regiments within the presidency, the regiment from Maulmain having been withdrawn, and I have not heard that any change is contemplated. "In 1837 the number of regiments of European in fantry within the Bombay presidency was four and a halt, a wing of a regiment being stationed at Aden. In 1838 there were only two regiments and a half within the presidency, two having gone to Saute. In 1839 there were three within the presidency. In 1840 and 1841 there were four within the presidency. If a Queen's regiment is sent home this year without, being relieved, which it is reported is to be the case, there will be seven regiments on the Bombay establishment—two being em ployed in Sinde, and a wing at Aden, the European force within the presidency will be the same as it was in 1837, and larger than it was between 1 837 and 1841 . "In the above observations I have attempted to show n th a a ti t ve th a o r u m g y h , large th ee ffi r c ed ie u n c e t y i e n f s t h h a e v e m i b l i e t e e n ry made force in o the t. t he country has not been materially affected, and that it is susceptible of rapid augmentation ; that the European force serving within the three presidencies, now when we have no external enemy to guard against, is larger than it was at many former periods. And I may lastly remark, that in Bengal, after all the reductions, there will be on the north-west frontier, at and above Meerut, a force consisting of nearly 50,000 rank and file, and 100 field guns, which force comprises three regiments of European cavalry, eight regiments or European in fantry, and 21 troops and companies of European ar tillery. "It has just come to my knowledge that a second regiment of European infantry is to be moved up to Lahore from Ferozepore, and that one of the European cavalry regiments from Umballa is to occupy the vacant infantry barracks at Ferozepore. " Barracks have also been commenced for a regiment of European infantry at Jullundur. Thus, though re ductions have been made, the efficiency of the frontier force has not been neglected; and if the reports from Calcutta be correct regar din g the improving state of the ' we may hope that in a short time w e s h a ll h ave a surplus u instead of a deficient rev enue, w hi c h will afford r to ev u e s n th e e means of carrying on works for the benefit of the country at large, such as railroads, and that of the Ganges Canal, on which, as you are already aware, an annual expenditure of 200,0001. a year has been sanctioned."

Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, fee. Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions. in order that it may be really the cause of-mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused . the 'prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on the nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, than any other to which it is subiect. . _ This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can ho of more importance than the preservation of the health and of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering trona their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination n ascertaining the causes of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by his posse,sion of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas certify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

OVER LAND MAIL We have received journals from Bombay to the 20th of May, and Calcutta to the Bth. There is very little stirring. The affair of Mooltan still occupied the public attention, but nothing of im portance had since occurred. Mr. Wilkinson, the apothecary, who was reported to have been killed, has, we are happy to say, escaped. We understand that the result of the deliberations was that no troops should be dispatched; and the wisdom for the determination cannot be for a moment doubted. From Mooltan itself we have very little. The only item on which any dependence can be placed is to the effect that the Dewan was so closely watched by his own troops that any attempt on his part to fly to Lahore, and endeavour to exculpate himself, would be useless. Our Malta correspondent informs us that various councils have been held at Malta respecting measures for the defence of that important naval station. The whole of the troops in the Jullunder Doab are said to have been warned to hold themselves in readiness to move at a moment's notice ; but we think it very unlikely that any actual march will take place until after the monsoon. In Bombay considerable indecision has prevailed. On the arrival of the last steamer from Sinde, with a re quisition for reinforcements, an express was, it is be lieved, sent to his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, then at the hills. The consequence was that the officers of her Majesty's Bth Regiment, on leave at Mahabu leshwur, were ordered to join their corps without delay, and a division order was issued at Peonah, directing a wing of her Majesty's Bth Regiment to be in readiness to proceed to Bombay, and thence to Sinde ; a wing of her Majesty's 22d Regiment to proceed to Bombay for gar rison duty, and a detachment of the Ist Grenadier regi ment of Native Infantry to proceed to 'Anna, and relieve the wing of the 29th Na tive Infantry there stationed. A troop of Horse Artillery was likewise ordered to prepare to move. It was also reported that the 24th, 26th, and 29th Native Infantry, at Bombay, would in all likelihood be sent without delay to Kurrachee. The order, however, for the officers of her Majesty's Bth to join their corps was shortly afterwards can celled, and no actual movement of troops took place from Poonah. On the morning of the 17th, Sir Willoughby Cotton arrived in Bombay—we believe most unexpectedly. He came down to attend the meeting of Council and assist in the decision of the point whether troops, were, or were not, to be sent to Sinde. (From the Summery of the Bombay Times.) Mooltan matters seem to continue in nearly the same condition as at the date of our last. The accounts then given of the unhappy occurrences which led to the mur der of Vans Agnew and Lieutenant Anderson appear to have been in most particulars substantially correct. The apothecary, the artilleryman, and some of the servants attendant on the mission, have some time since returned to Lahore. They were everywhere kindly treated by the people as they passed, and saw no discontent or tendency anywhere evinced to join the insurrection. The outbreak appears to have been accidental ; the Nizam ;had placed nearly 100,0001. of his savings within our reach, and remitted the balance of his tribute to Lahore, just as our mission departed. Finding himself fairly committed with us through his people, he seems to have determined on making the most of his position ; and now that willing hands and ready swords have presented themselves on all sides of him, seems ready to try the chance of war. Mooltan has been fur years a place of refuge for Seikh and Sindian malcontents, and how we should have tempted them with a convoy so weak as that sent, seems inexplicable. It is said that the malcontents, idlers, and disreputables from all sides, are anxious to take service under the Nizatn. The preparations for immediate advance when the news of the insurrection was first received, have been discontinued; alarm has in a great measure subsided, and there will in all likelihood be no military movement at Mooltan till October, and by this time it is not unlikely that the Dewan, seeing the desperate state of his position, may endeavour to make terms. With three moveable brigades close at hand—with a Seikh army of 25,000 men, who have behaved to admiration in all positions under us—with 17,000 men in Sinde, and a mortar battery and heavy guns at suklcur, a splendid battering train at Feroze pore, a willing ally in the Khan of Bahawulpore—with 50,000 men and a hundred guns on our frontier, and Mooltan bordered or penetrated by three rivers navi gable by river steamers, the whole affair betwixt us will be settled in a wonderfully short space of time when the arrives. 3u,.i l tpa Jr (e : rv Throughout r tuh S t n i n oa u d r e ssq uo t a h f d e ir no m rno o ao s d t f horse, m it en proper h profound s e e d a i a r we watches I t r h re e gul f a r r ont c ie a r val b ry etw a e n e d n artillery have been dispatched f rom L oo di ana h to Feroze pore, to protect Bahawulpore, if necessary. Shere Singh, and 3,000 Seikhs, have been dispatched direct to Mooltan to protect the villagers from the ravages of the ruffians collected in the fort, and perform any other piece of service they may be fit for. Throughout all parts of India profound peace prevails. Frequent col lisions have of late occurred between th e t roops an d t h e rebellious subjects o f the King of Oude, and it is thought we cannot much longer forbear meddling in the affairs of the Lucknow ruler. Storms of rain and hail have occurred at different points all over India, and consider able damage has been occasioned to the small craft in the Hoogly by the sudden rise in the river, technically called a bore. The abolition of the Bombay Chamber of Com merce has been talked of, but we trust the commercial community will think better on the subject. The Right Honourable the Governor held a levee and a durbar in the Town Hall on Saturday last, at which nearly all the leading members of the civil, military, naval, ecclesias tical, mercantile, and native communities were pre sented to his Lordship. The steamer Feroze was named by the Viscountess Falkland on Thursday last, on the ' o,nasion of the launch of that magnificenn vessel. The Governor and family go up, it is said, to the Deccan early in June. Sir W. Cotton returned unexpectedly from the hills on Wednesday morning, to attend the council held that day, to decide on the necessity or other wise of immediately dispatching troops to Kurrachee. He returns to Mahabuleshwar in a few days. The weather at Bombay is singularly cool for the season. MOOLTAN AND THE PUNJAUB. We have, since the dispatch of our last paper, heard little news of importance from the Punjaub. The ac count of the outbreak at Mooltan then given seems in all substantial and material points to have been correct. The tumult seems to have been purely accidental, and, however the Nizam of Mooltan may now desire to turn to his own account the incidents that have occurred, that ho had no share in any conspiracy to bring them about will be apparent from the fact that he had 70,0001. de posited in the treasury of Umritsir, with a large amount at his banker's in Benares—all now confiscated. He had actually forwarded to Lahore the balance of last year's tribute a few days before the destruction of Mr. Agnew. It is now said that, although he has raised the standard of revolt and proclaimed himself in dependent, he is even yet under the surveillance of his followers, who are apprehensive of his abandoning them and endeavouring to reach Lahore to make his peace with the Durbar. The artillerymen attendant on the guns which accompanied the mission, finding resistance hopeless, managed to make their escape, and reached Lahore in safety. Mr. Wilkinson, the apothecary, was some stages behind when he heard what had happened; he retraced his steps, and was assisted on his journey by the villagers. On no one of these occasions does the slightest spirit of hostility or desire to injure the fugitives appear to have manifested itself amongst the country people. This furnishes a striking contrast to the state of matters in Airghanistan, when not a man connected with us dared anywhere to appear alone except at the risk of his life. We mentioned in last summary that the orders given for the immediate advance of troops from Lahore and Ferozepore were rec . illed so soon as it became known that our unfortunate emissaries were beyond the reach of aid—that the matter had been referred to the Governor-General, and that no movement of any magni tude was likely to be made till the rains were over. On intelligence reaching Sukkur of what had occurred, Colonel Shaw dispatched the steamer Napier, with a `company of the 9th Native Infantry and two guns, up the river; these had returned so soon as the Lahore arrangements became known. Major Jacob was dis patched with a squadron of the Sinde Horse to watch the frontier near Kusmore, a village on the Indus, betwixt Shikarpore and Mithenkote, but no aggression of any sort seems to have been attempted; and the apprehensions of danger in Snide which the first tidings of the outbreak * " When the augmentations made since 1837 are stated to amount to 100,000 men, at a cost of 1,120,0001. a year, the royal troops serving in India are nos included in the calculation," SINDE. We have letters from Upper Sinde to the 6th instant. Everything remained quiet, and the Boogties, in place of joining our enemies, as was expected by some, were daily coming in in tens and twelves for the purpose of settling at Larkhana. With such a man as Colonel Shaw in command, and Jacob's horse on the frontier, we have nothing to apprehend from the rising of the people should they be foolhardy enough to make the attempt. The weather during the day was becoming extremely hot, but the nights were pleasant. The canals were beginning to fill rapidly, and a most prosperous harvest was looked forward to by the cultivators of all classes—a sufficient inducement of itself to keep them quiet, at all events for some time to come. The whole of the troops of the brigade, as well as the inhabitants of the country, were in the enjoyment of good health, the former highly elated at the prospect before them of ac tive employment against the murderers of two of their countrymen. The Ist Belooeh battalion were presented with their colours on the morning of the 6th, by Co lonel Shaw, who, as usal, made a most brilliant speech MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. CHATHAM, JULY I.—This morning several detach ments from the provisional battalion at this garrison marched en route for Gravesend. They consisted of 36 men with 5 women and 11 children of the 29th Foot, 89 men with 5 women and 3 children of the 61st, and 1 man and 1 woman of the 80th Regiment, under com mand of Captain 11. C. Tyler, of the 80th, with Ensign C. Bisset Fenwick and Ensign J. G. M. Strode, of the 61st. These troops embarked from the Customs' Quay on board the ship Camperdown, 1,100 tons, Commander Henry Denny, for Bengal. The following detachments of cavalry regiments from the Depot Barracks, Maid stone, also embarked on board the same ship:-26 men of the 3d Light Dragoons, 30 men of the 9th Queen's Royal Lancers, with 2 women and 3 children, and 50 men of the 14th King's Light Dra goonsiwith the following officers—Cornet G. T. Ricketts, 3d Light Dragoons, Cornet Andrew Sarel, Cornet Frederick Ellis and Cornet - C. D'A. Hunt of the 9th Lancers, Cornet W. Spilling, Cornet 0. Black, and Cornet Smith, of the 14th Light Dragoons—making a total of 10 officers, 232 men, 13 women, and 17 children. On Monday, the 3d inst., detachm e nt s from this garrison will embark at Gravesend, on board the ship Minden, 1,000 tons, Commander R. D. Crawford, for Bengal, 163 men of the 10th Foot, 10 men consisting of the 32d, and 77 men of the 53d Regiment, with the proportionate allowance of women and children, under the command of Captain C. Lempriere, of the 53d, with the following officers:—Lieutenant J. E. H. Taylor and Ensign W. H. fc G. Bluett, of the 10th Foot; Lieutenant A. G. Brine, Lieutenant Robert Hedley, Ensign E. Chippen• dale, Ensign J. Birtwhistle,.and Ensign John Hedley, 32d Regiment, and Ensign E. Dyne Fenton, of the 53d. The troops were inspected yesterday by :the Comman dant, Colonel James Simpson; they are all young men, from 18 to 20, and their general appearance on parade gave much satisfaction.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. - PORTSMOUTH, JULY 2.—SIR CHARLES NAPIEVS SQUADRON.—The Bellerophon, 78, Captain Baynes, ar rived last evening from Plymouth, and joined the St, Vincent, Prince Regent, and Amphion at Spithead. The Blenheim, 56, screw line of battle ship, Captain Chads, will join on Tuesday or Wednesday; the Frolic and Helena, 16, Commanders Vansittart and Smith, are to be ready and join tomorrow; the Dragon steam frigate, Captain Hall, came into harbour yesterday to refit, and will rejoin with as much expedition as possible; and the Tweed, 18, and Pilot, 16, Commanders Lord Francis Russell and E. M. Lyons, are expected from Devonport about Wednesday. These ships comprise the squadron to be under the orders of Sir Charles Ypier for experi mental purposes. It is said the Caledonia, 120, and Powerful and Ganges, 84's, will not be members of the squadron, but will remain as stationed at their respec tive ports. The Blenheim steam guard ship is, and will be, the most attractive feature in the squadron, which, we believe, to be organized more for the pur pose of trying her than for any other "experimental" purpose; and no ship could be tried under more encouraging circumstances. The officers turned over to her from the Excellent are—Captain Chads, Lieutenants Hodgkinson (first), Powell, Burrow's, Boys, and Dowell. Mates—Harris, Craigie, Burgess, and Webb. Midshipmen—Carrington, Pym, and Eta thorn. Crew-5 gunners, 200 seamen (A.B.'s), 100 boys, and 100 marine artillerymen, under the command of Captain Henry and First-Lieutenants Ireland and Crockett. She bent sails yesterday. Commander Hewlett becomes acting Captain of the Excellent during the ab sence of Captain Chads in the Blenheim. The Hastings, 72, Captain Morgan, sailed last evening far the East India station, to take the flag of Rear-Ad miral Sir Francis Collier, Commander-in• Chief. The Salamander and Rifleman steam-sloops, the latter; screw-propelled, arrived today from Woolwich. A Committee of naval officers, consisting of Captain Chads, C. 8., of the Excellent; the Hon. R. S. D en d as , C. 8., of the Powerful, 84, and Henry Eden, of the Vic tory, has been formed for the purpose of examining and reporting on the internal fittings of the Prince Regent, 92, Capt. Martin, with the view of their general adoption for all line-of-battle ships, it approved of. This ship is more expensively fitted up that any line-of-battle ship in the fleet. TENDERS AT THE CHIEF PORTS.—The Rifleman, new screw steam-vessel, is ordered from Woolwich to Portsmouth, to be a tender to the Powerful, 84 guns, to be manned from that ship, and commanded by it 'cute nant S. L. Crofton. The Myrmidon iron steamer is to be attached to the Ganges, 84 guns, at the Nore, manned from that ship, and commanded by Lieutenant J. 11. Selwyn; and the Racer, 16 gun sloop, at Devon port, is similarly appropriated to the Caledonia, 120 guns, at Plymouth, to be manned from that ship, and commanded by Lieutenant R. Bacon. ROYAL MARINE ARTILLERY FOR BLENIZEIM.-011 Saturday morning Captain Henry, First-Lieutenant John Crockett, First-Lieutenant Wynder Kelly Ireland, and 94 gunners, left head-quarters, Portsmouth, and embarked in her Majesty's ship Blenheim for service in that ship during her trial. The steam-packet Medusa, 6 guns,Lieutenaut Bathurst commanding, is under orders to cave Portsmouth this day direct for Malta, with supernitmerary men for the Mediterranern squadron, and dispatches for the com mander-in-chief. The Merlin steam-packet, 4 guns, Lieutenant Turner commanding, is also under orders to sail this day for Lisbon direct, it is said to relieve the Stromboli steam sloop, Lord Aurelius Beauclerk, commander, ordered to Spithead.

He had recourse to the best medical aid but to no purpose,:as in such eases the usual treatment never does any good, he then resolved upon using Holloway's ointment and pills, and to the surprise of all who knew his deplorable state, these wonderful medicines alone have restored him to perfect health and the complete use of his limbs.

Mayor, 25th Native Infantry, second in command, during Major Jackson's absence. Some splendid specimens of anhydrous gypsum, of singular beauty, had been obtained from the Boogtie hills, where it was found in mountainous masses. It is said to be excellently well adapted for statuary purposes. The com pany of the 9th Native Infantry, under Captain Purves, sent up to Kusmore by the steamer Napier,was ()nits march back. From Kurrachee we have letters to the 16th in stant. Lower Sinde was also quiet; the people were busy and fall of their own affairs. Our officials had ap parently forgotten a subject which at one time was the sole sourco of interest, changes in the system of govern ment likely to affect the many. The affairs of Mooltan had monopolised their ideas. The artillery at Kurrachee was held in readiness for a more, but it would be mad ness to think of doing anything for the next three months. The steamer Assyria left Kurrachee on the 16th for Kotree with Colonel Le Messurier, Lieutenant Younghusband, &c. [PRICE 6D. in a quiet state, transactions being very limited. The intelligence from home up to the 24th of March, received on the sth instant, is not calculated to lead to any im provement in commercial matters here, either in regard to imports or exports. Grey Shirtings—Latterly accounts have reached this from some of the principal up-country markets, of a less favourable aspect, and the effect has been a slackening of demand, which, unless holders are firm, will, in all pro bability, lead to a reduction in prices, but this, we think, will only be temporary, for imports have been light, and stocks are a good deal reduced. White Shirtings—A good demand still prevails, but the late news above adverted to have brought down prices from 2s. to 4s. per piece below the rates recently current.

Mule Twist—Has lately given way in value, and most counts must be quoted 2 t o 3 plc p er mora h iower.

(From the Bombay Times.) FRIDAY AFTERNOON, MAY 19.—During the period that has elapsed since our last report, which was dated the 12th inst., no change of importance has occurred in our market for imports. Some excitement has been caused by the decision of the Supreme Court here against the repudiators of the opium bargains, but we think it is likely soon to calm down. An opinion is ex pressed in some quarters that much loss will fall upon parties in Bombay and thereby cause some injury to our eommercial interests. This opinion we think erroneous, for, as we have befote stated, the chief loss will fall upon the Mharwarrie Shroffs and dealers, and they are able and prepared to meet their obligations. Some of our native merchants will no doubt suffer severely also, but no general ill effect is, we think, likely to result there from. We are glad to have it in our power to continue to report favourably of the state of our money market. Our up-country dealers find no difficulty in obtaining the usual facilities for their operations, and notwithstand ing the now fast approaching close of the season, they are still in the market continuing their purchases. Cotton Piece Goods—Our market has been steady during the past week for grey goods of all descrip tions, with the exception of grey domestics, which continue much depressed. Grey madapollams are eagerly inquired for, as also grey jacconets of low and middling qualities. Grey shirtings of forty inches widths of low quality are in good demand, and there is also some inquiry for the finer makes, but the intermediate makes are not much asked for. Low and middling makes of the same fabrics in 45 inches widths are in fair request. Bleached goods of all the foregoing descriptions are not in such active demand, and the prices obtained are somewhat lower than those previ ously ruling. Fancy goods, satin spots, striped and checked doriahs, lappet scarfs 5 yards 45 inches, and 45 inches grey Dhooties, have been in some inquiry, and are scarce; while lappets, mull mulls, and harness springs continue dull of sale. In dyed goods we have no change to notice, as both Turkey red twilled and plain cloth con tinue languid, with only an occasional inquiry for a su perior quality. Cotton Yarn—Further shipments have been made to Calcutta, and as stocks in this market are now much re duced, holders generally are indisposed to sell, but buyers as yet refuse to give higher prices, and the sales reported aro at the low rates previously ruling. In dyed yarns we have no change to notice. Cochineal—A further decline has taken place in the value of this article, and the price may be quoted at 31 rupees, at which we have heard of a sale of 1,7001 b. Metals—We have had some arrivals of English bar iron, but no sales have yet been effected, though we hear 371. rupees has been refused for a good assortment. In other descriptions there is no change. Copper his ex perienced a further decline. Spelter has been snipped in some quantity to Calcutta, but prices here have con tinued to recede since the date of our last report. Swedish steel, both in faggots and tubs, is dull and in limited demand. Lead is steady at our quotations, and there is a good inquiry for both pig and sheet. Spirits—Brandy continues to decline tent of seven hogsheads and 26 quart e r 9 in good de been made at 21 rupees per gallon. o the h s v n x g nd 50 kilders, con have been sold at 19 rupees each, a . mend, and 50 kilders, containing 25 la G rg i e n signal-0 bottles, 9 s gdes casks t taining 12 small ones, at 9 rupee e t a h ch . e since the les hav a e re o r f ep la o t r e tea e a n s date of our last, the shopkeepers being ©w .0 Beer—Little has been done in . t con tinue paying the high pric T es he th s a a t ruling, and confining their purchases to the supply of their immediate wants. follow: 50 hogsheads Tennants' beer, at R s. 55 10 ~ „ porter „ 5O 60 Whitbread's ••• ~ 50 Marine Stores.—Paints continue in fair demand, and a sale of 100 cwt. is reported at 121 r., the assortment b e ing 60 cwt. green, 40 cwt. yellow, and 20 cwt. black. A sale of 525 bolts of bleached canvass is also reported at 16r. EXPORTS. Cotton Wool—The continued low rates of freight have had the effect of causing a further advance in the value of this staple, parti cu l ar l y for Dhollera, which being more suitable for the China market, has been affected in a greater degree by the low freights now obtainable to that country. The transactions since our last havo not, however, been on a large scale. Sheep's Wool —Purchases to the extent of 100 can dies Khorassan wool at 82r., and 50 candies Meckran wool, at 70r., are reported. The stock in the market is comparatively small. Opium—The price of this drug remains steady at, 1,050 r. per chest for first quality, at which rate pur chases have been made. The Braganza steamer sailed today with 507 cheats for China. THE MEER SHADAD. The Telegraph and Courier informs us that the case of the Meer Shadad, late prisoner in Surat Castle, has been inquired into by the Governor General, and the Ameer fully and honourably acquitted of all connexion with the murder of Captain Ennis. Lord Hardinge must have had strong reasons to believe in his innocence before he directed his liberation and transmission to Calcutta, and he now stands freed of all imputation. Of the other imputations cast upon them we doubt not but that Shadad and his brethren are as guiltless as of this. The acquittal of the Ameer is the conviction of his de famers : they are not unknown to the Government of India, and they deser►e no mercy at their hands. They who would traduce the character of the fallen, to justify the wickedness of those who caused their fall, would hesitate at little in the way of criminality, and are in point of virtue on a par with the hireling defamer who would for a paltry consideration swear the life or cha racter of his fellow-creature away. Meer Shaded is, it seems, to be put on the same allowances and footing as his brethren in captivity. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Calcutta Overland Price Current.) MAY B.—The express with London dates to the 24th of March arrived on the sth instant, bringing most un satisfactory political and commercial intelligence. The state of affairs in France was truly deplorable, and without any apparent prospect of early amendment. Most of the leading banks had failed. The Bank of France had stopped payments in specie. The Provisional Government had limited payments to depositors in savings' - ban k to 100 f. in coin. It had also issued an extraordinary decree, postponing payment of all bills of exchange then due for fifteen days, and all other debts for three months. The Three per Cents. had fallen to 50, and the Five per Cents. to 70k, and, in short, general ruin and disorganization were appre hended. Germany, including Austria and Prussia, was also in a disturbed state. Those events have had a very injurious influence on the markets in England, and cause the suspension there of all continental business. Indigo was dull, and sales could only be forced at a de cline of 2d. to 3d. on previous rates. East India sugar had suffered a further fall of about 3s. per cwt., and it was expected that in consequence of the disturbed state of the continent unusually large supplies of foreign sugars would be diverted to England. Rice had given way still further 3d. to 6d., and the market was extremely dull. With the exception of saltpetre, most other articles of colonial produce were also dull, and had fallen in value. Saltpetre had advanced 6d. per cwt. Money was flowing abundantly into England, as a place of security, from the disturbed countries, and the prospect existed of a plethora of money without its being available for commercial purposes. Consols were at 83. 'The corn market was a little firmer in conse quence of the long continuance of wet weather, which it was feared might be injurious to the wheat crop. During the week which has elapsed since the date of our last report business has been very quiet here, and the reports just received from home are not of a nature calculated to improve our markets. We apprehend that purchases of produce will for the present be confined to actual was being wants. Indigo has been quiet, and little done in it, buyer unwilling to pay late prices while holders of the remaining parcels show no anxiety to give way. The demand for sugar has fallen off. Salt petre has continued in active demand at fully previous rates, but there is very little in stock. Rice is still neglected. Raw silk is in active inquiry. Silk piece goods are dull. The animation reported in our last as pervading the piece goods branch of our import market has been damped by advices of an unfavourable nature recently received from the upper provinces. Light Glasgow fabrics remain without improvement. Printed goods are regarded with a little more favour. Mule twist has re ceded in price. Metals are quiet. There is no change to note in the money market, nor in the value of Government securities, which remain at our last quotations, viz., Transfer Five per Cents., 8 to 9 premium; Second and Third do., 4 to 4.8 discount; New Fives, 1.12 to 2 do.; Company's Rupees Fours, 16 to 17 do.; Sicca Rupee do., 18 to 18; Bank of Bengal Shares, 2.025 to 2.050 premium. The average profits of the bank during the past four months have been at the rate of Br. to 9r. per cent. per annum, being 9a. less than the average of the preceding three months. The coffers of the bank are overflowing for want of approved invest ments. Exchange has fallen from our last quotation of Is. 10 2 ?-d. to Is. 10d. for bank bills, and Is. 100. to Is. 10fd. for document paper; the latter is scarce and much wanted. The Court of Directors have reduced their rate of exchange in England to Is. 9id. The amount advanced by the Export Warehouse since the date of our last report, exclusive of the sums passed, but not then paid, has only been 18,546 r. Exchange with China is 200 r. to 204 r. per 100 dolls. Freights have still a downward tendency; our last quotations of 51. to 5/. ss. are with difficulty maintained, and a further decline is anticipated. Indigo—Since our last issue the transactions in the absence of any public sales are confined to—F. and Co. 135 chests, Jingurgatchee, Jessore, at 130 r. per maund at easy previous rates. The holders seem as little dis posed to force any sales as the buyers show no kind of eagerness for purchases at the required extreme value, which tendencies impart to the market a quiet flat ap pearance without a positive introduction of lower prices. Reports from lower Bengal came in with the last few days, teeming with complaints about the continued want of rain, and the consequent impossibility to complete the sowings of more than one-third of the land yet un filled. Sugar—The demand for this article has within the last few days considerably abated, and though owners showed every disposition to meet buyers by further con cession in prices, purchases were kept within very limited bounds, not exceeding 2,800 bags, which com prised 150 bags Dobarah, at 7r. 1 la.; 500 bags Bhagga, 7r. 7a. to 7r. Ba.; 300 bags Garputta, sr. 4s. to 6r.; 1,900 bags Khar, 2r. 12a. to 3r. 3a. Saltpetre—With a continued active inquiry prices are kept to extreme previous rates, buyers in many instances conceding the usual strict requirements as to colour; and the reported transactions amount to about 6,000 bags at our last quotations. Rice—This pulse continues without any inquiry for home shipments, and the only reported transactions, with prices rather in favour of buyers, are for the Mauritius and Bourbon, 5,600 bags Moonghy at 1 1-6; 7,000 bags Ballam at 1 to 1-1. _ _ _ Safflower—The expected arrival of the new crop has not yet come to hand, and there are consequently no transactions to report. Raw Silk—The demand for raw silk has been very lively at rather better prices, and parcels as they arrived have been readily taken. Quotations are—Cossimbazar, 7-12 to 8-8; Gonatea, 7; Hurripaul, 7-12 to 8-12. Silk Piece Goods—The inquiry for these goods has been languid at a decline of 7 to 10 per corge on previous rates, and during the last few days they have been ne glected. Shell Lac and Lac Dye—A considerable parcel, amounting to about 2,500 maunds of D. C. shell lac has changed hands at 9 per maund, and the market has been nearly cleared of all that remained of the D. T. lac dye at 55 to 56 per maund. Late disasters in the commercial world have interrupted the manufacture of those cele brated marks, but the cheapness of the raw material will doubtless induce the manufacturers ere long to resume active operations. A. S. C. lao dye is quoted at 65 per maund. Oil Seeds—The reported sales of linseed amount to a few thousand flatlands, at prices varying from 1 15-3 to 2.1 per maund. Jute—We have no sales to report in this article and prices are without alteration. Hides—We have little to report in this article since the departure of the last mail. Prices have slightly given way, and their tendency downwards. Cotton—The reported sales of this wool are 350 mds. Nagpore at 11-5 and 250 bales Jalone at 10 per maund, showing a decline upon our last quotations. Rum—This spirit has been wholly neglected for the English market. The shipments going forward are solely on distillers' account. Cutch—This article continues to attract attention The reported sales are 12,000 mds. at 2s. 9id. to 2s. 10Id. per md. Opium—This drug has taken a considerable start from its former depressed state. News has been received from China to the 2d of April, reporting a rise of 500 dolls. for Patna at that place, which caused an immediate advance here from 775, our last quotations, to 875, or 100 r. per chest. A good deal of excitement has conse quently been created in the bazaar, and prices aro fluc tuating hourly. Our present quotations for real businesB are 850 Patna and 820 BenareF. IDLOORTS FROM EUROPE. British Cotton Piece Goods—The short period which has elapsed since our last issue on the 2d instant leaves us with comparatively little to record in reference to our import market. Within the past few days, however, accounts have been received from Blirzapore and other up-country marts, which have had the effect of diminish ing considerably the activity which was previously dis played. Glasgow goods remain without change either in value or demand. Prints and fancy goods continue in somewhat better favour; but it is yet too early in the season for anything of importance to be done in them. Mule twist has slightly receded, and most numbers are uow a shade below our last quo ta tions. Metals remain i
