Bard of the Minories I Excuse my freedom In writing es to one so famed as you ; And if you think it worth your while to read 'eat, An honour to my humble pen you'll do. My motive in the lines which I present you, Is simply this—l wish to compliment you. I don't refer so much to skill in verses, As to your strict adherence to the fact; The trading story which your Muse rehearses Is perfectly as Messrs. MOSES act. - Poets, 'tie said, are rather fond of fiction, But your assertions challenge contradiction. MOSES and SON, you say, possess great merit As Artistes in the making of attire ; And, Sir, my c ommendation they inherit, For MOSES' dress I very much admire. They have a claim (and every day they show it) Not less than that asserted by their poet. All that you say of MOSES I rely on, Your compliments on style and strength are due, There's not a garment that I fix my eye on, But proves good quality and cheapness too. Tour verse is true, Sir , ay ! and so your prose is, Nor have you ever overrated MOSES. Z. MOSES and SON invite especial attention to their Shooting rtts, which possess a peculiar cu t and st y le, adding much comfort he fit. E.

CELlBlCY.—Singleness is not always the con sequence of disinclination, disappointed affection, or a diffi culty in meeting with a fit helpmate. Thousands of the unmarried would with joy embrace the sacred conditions of Matrimony, did they feel themselves equal to its obligations; and the chequered page of life reveals innumerable instanc s where, under that blighting consciousness, man has permitted the most ardent affec tine to consume him to the grave, rather than consign its object to that life of unmitigable anguish and fettered solitariness into which his affianced would be plunged if he married. Some are, however, wilful enough to gain the affections of the other sex under these circumstances; and, though not so villanous as to proceed to the altar, will make such excuses for procrastination as contribute to his selfish desire of exclusively enjoying her society, by precluding her from accepting other offers. There is scarcely a street where this history is not enacted ; and yet with the exercise of common foresight, its frequency might be so lessened as to ren der an instance rare throughout the entire kingdom. The d i squa lifications for Marriage have more than one primary source ' • the chief of which is Impuissance, arising from four causes:—namely, Natural Deficiency ; the Prostration produced by Early habits ; the W ea kening effects of Later Excesses ; and Nervousness of Tempera ment ; the next sour ces of i mportance are hereditary and acquired disease ; and. lastly , men are prevented from marrying by the effects of disease—which, when 111-cared, leaves traces that forbid all im pulse towards wedlock. In each of these instances it is unhappily too common for the sufferer to consider his case beyond remedy, and he fails to consult oven his o wn medical attendant. suchwill find all obstacles removed by reference to a valuable Manual on Nervous Debility and Generative diseases, the thirty-seventh thousand of which has just been published by its Authors, J. L. CURTIS and CO., Consu l t ing surgeons, 7, Frith - str eet, Soho-square, London, entitled MANHOOD ; the Causes of its Premature Decline, with Plain Directions for Perfect Restoration,This em , inent Work, which is forwarded by W. Strange, Boookseller, 21, I atuernotter row, London, post-paid, in a sealed envelope for 2s. Gd., in postage stamps, his saved thousands, and the result of Its perusal has in variably been a restoration of the reader to his position as a useful member of society A L 3 I A lx E. One half the wend are desolately single, ante n d th ce , e other r supposing them married, questionably contented. Diff or sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes pleaem i.itter the latter. The solitary on e may shield himself he of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un zomprosing harry ; but the truth lie s deeper. Physical acity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice deneald that health should form an item in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes et' neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if these surmises concern yen, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little MEMOIRS Oa Single and Married Life, " pub. in 2 vols., Is. each (by post, ix stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively refined, 9r prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, Tier be hindered sy misinterpretatien of their 'apposed contents, from obtaining Clem. They are not intended certainly for mere idle cariosity, but for the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whole trey are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on the above aublects, by unqualified authors, which alone or tigether, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other little publications claim your attention (same price Is. each, by post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and Avoid," and " llow to be Happy." They are not merely pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the mere ephemeral scribblings of the kour, but the study of the author's who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob servance of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he would be done unto—to live after natures laws—and to keep always on the " sunny side of the way." The above works slay be had of Sherwood, 23, Paternoster -row ; Carvatho, 147, Fleet street ; Mann, 39, Cornhill ; Ralson, 457, West Strand ; or direct (by post or other wise) from the anther (who may be conferred with personally, ,m3rnings and evenings), 10, Argyll-place Regent-street; sued all Booksellers. 0 V E is the leading feeling of the human JIA breast. More exalted than mere passion, it soars high above every other impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice, but more engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt from 1 . its influence, or can avoid its sway ; and business, pleasure, philo sophy, and divinity itself become neglected under the enthralling power of LOVE, which, unlike most things, increases in intensity with time, until it receives the sacred consummation of marriage. When union does not take place, however, this passion, this fervour, this golden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly poison in the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright ened, all things upon earth. How is it that men, of most un changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a life time spent in the fulfilment of every engagement, snap the very con tract asunder which should be most binding to an honourable mind? It is the effect of conscience.

It is written in a style of masterly precision and lucidity, blending the profoundest truths of philosophy and physics with the loftiest precepts of morality. It is a production calculated to confer a vital benefit, physically and morally, upon all who are tempted from the rigid path of abstemiousness and propriety. A father may trust it in the hands of his boy.

S OU THAMPTON, SUNDAY, SEPT. 24.—The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company's ship Mont• rose, Captain Richard Gosson, arrived here to-day with the usual Sianish and Portuguese mails, in charge of Lieutenant Langton, R.N., Admiralty agent. Her dates are—Gibraltar, Sept. 16; Cadiz, Sept. 17; Lisbon, Sept. 19; Oporto, no communication; Vigo, Sept. 21. The Montrose brings 16 passengers and the following on freight:—l2 boxes of eggs, 100 boxes of almonds, 212 boxes of grapes, 100 barrels of dates, 20 oxen, 475 half-boxes of grapes, 6 hales of silk, 2 cases of silkworm gut, 35 packages of specie, 11 packages of gold coin, and 23 packages of sundries. On the 17th the Montrose passed the steamer Ma laga steering N.W., Cape St. Vincent bearing N.W. W. 23 miles. We have letters of the 19th from the city of Lisbon. Tranquillity continued in Portugal, but all parties looked to Spanish affairs as likely to lead to some rise ere long. M. M. de Mallefille, the new French Charge d'Affaires to Portugal, had been presented to the King_and Queen at a levee held on 'the occasion of the Prince Royal's birthday. Some angry correspondence bad passed be tween the representative of the French Republic and the Minister of Foreign Affairs in reference to a meeting of French residents which was to have taken place in the church of St. Luiz, but which the Portuguese Govern ment, deciding it to be illegal, prevented. The meeting was afterwards held at M. Mallefille's house, and had occasioned a misunderstanding between him and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, which was far from being arranged when the Montrose left Lisbon. A most horrible and revolting matricide had occurred in Lisbon. A young girl of 20 murdered her mother, decapitated her, and cut the arms and legs from the body. The various parts were found in different streets ; but the head could not be discovered till the house was searched, when it was found concealed near the girl, who was cooking some provisions. The lover of the girl was supposed to have been implicated in the murder, but she resolutely refused to denounce him. The vacant office of Lord Chamberlain of the Queen's Palace had been conferred on the Duke of Saldanha. The Spanish frigate Cortes had arrived in the Tagus to take away the remainder of the Spanish troops con nected with the Seville revolt. _ _ _ Her Majesty's brig Racer was also in Lisbon. Bank notes were at a discount of 39 to 40 per cent. Exchange on London, 30 days' sight, 521 to 52k; at 90 days' date, 52-a to 524; on Paris, 545; Ltamburgh, 47i to 48; Vienna, 533.

Her Majesty's steamer Polyphemus was at Gibraltar. At Gibraltar exchanges were quoted as follows :—At 90 days' date, on London, 49k; on Paris, ff. 28c. to sf. 30c ; Marseilles, 5C sOc. to SF. 32c.; Genoa, sf. 32c.; at eight days' sight, on Madrid, 4 dis.; Cadiz and Se ville, dis. ; Malaga, par ; Alacante, 14 dis. ; Va lencia, 1 dis.; Barcelona, 4 dis.; Spanish pillared dollars, 2 per cent. prem. SEPTEMBER 25, 1848• r quiry, though transactions as yet, in the native kinds, are not large. Corahs have continued to be little wanted. Saltpetre was lower, and in little request, bat more re cently the moderate freights, and now the warlike ac counts from France, have caused a brisker market. In rice a little more business has been in progress. Shell lac and lac dye sell freely for America. Safflower sells slowly. Linseed is in request for both England and America, and other oilseeds are also taken for England. Jute is wanted, but pending the arrival of the new crop, little is to be had.'

There was a steady market for the drug at Co.'s rs. 915 to 925, until the arrival, on July 231, of the Anne—shortly after which extensive purchases were made in the bazaar—a report got abroad that this vessel had brought news from Penang, frum the China steamer en route to Gallo, and that opium had advanced at Canton to 700 dulls, per chest—much excitement prevailed, the price of Patna quickly rose to ',Mrs, and as no authentic ver sion of the news was known except to the fortunate re cipients, the China letters were anxiously awaited. These arrived on the 22d instant, per Rob Roy, and the report having been confirmed, another sudden rise took place, and the highest point of 1,240r5. was reached. A gradual decline has since ensued, and on Saturday quo • tations from the bazaar were I,loors. to Mrs. per chest. All accounts agree in stating that the rise in China is purely the resut of gambling operations. The impetus given here to opium dealing and gambling has been great. It is reviving all that latent spirit of speculation in this drug which few mercantile natives are without, and which has of late only been in abeyance from the effect of the celebrated opium case of last season. There have been few actual sales at these high rates, the tenth sale of the season taking place on the 9th inst. The position of the import market has been one of steady and progressive improvement. It can scarcely be called a satisfactory one to the importer while exchange is on the level of a bullion remittance. The internal trade has, however, assumed a more healthy condition, and a large amount of business has been done. The demand for Manchester cottons has been large, and though freely met by importers, the leading staples are generally higher in value. Glasgow light goods remain depressed, though the low prices current have induced a few rather large purchases, chiefly of a spe culative nature. Mule twist has been largely sold, and prices had ad vanced 2 to 3 pie per morah for the leading counts. Latterly the quotations from the bazaar came rather lower, but holders are firm, The sales of metals during July have been unusually small. The long delay in the setting is of the rains in the upper provinces, and conse quent fears of famine, made buyers afraid to come for ward. With accounts of rain a better inquiry has ap peared, and, in some instances, prices are higher. There is still, however, no activity. Dealers are all aware of the declining tendency of the prices of most metals in England, and expectation of large shipments keeps them from doing a large business. The Money Market in the bazaar, and so far as it ap plies to the native trade of the country, has gradually assumed a more favourable appearance. Discounts of native hoondees, or bills of exchange, are easy, and the native bankers have relaxed their rules-,ot business. There can scarcely, howevere, be said to be any relaxa tion in favour of the European mercantile community, or restoration of credit among them. There aro few whose acceptances, even at a short date, can be dis counted in the bazaar. The bank rate of interest for loans on deposit of Company's paper is 6 per cent. Else where the accommodation can be had on more favourable terms. The easy position of monetary of airs has made Com pany's paper much more valuable. The New Fives were on the Bth of July 1-Br. to 2r. discount, and are now, Company's rs. 0.4 to 0.10 discount. The other loans have also greatly improved, and should a further deduc tion of the rates of interest be made by the bank, a considerable enhancement of value will probably take place, particularly in the Four per Cents.

It has been rumoured that Government was about to ship 30 lace of silver to England, and the accounts by !ho mail are confirmatory, it being stated that 50 laes are ordered home. • The supply of tonnage has continued abundant, and shortly atter the date of our last a material decline took place. The rates to Liverpool sunk to 3/. ss. to 3/. 10s. for sugar, but from increased shipments and the firmness of consignee; have again advanced, and wo quote 41. per ton as the present average rate to both London and Li- verpool for sugar. Isrumo.—The weather during July has proved fa vourable for the manufacture of Indigo throughout the chief producing districts of Bengal and Behar. The rains have proved moderate, and the rivers have been generally lower than usual at this season. There has been little loss of plant from inundation, except from the rise of the Ganges at Bhaghulpore at the end of June, and to a small extent in Tirhoot, and towards Furreedpore and Dacca. Some loss from blight has oc curred in liislmaghur, but, generally speaking, a larger proportion of the plant than usual has been cut in good condition for manufacture. The average produce has also been fair, except in Tirhoot, where the rain was generally heavy durit , the first half of July. Up to this time the progress of the season has cer tainly been fortunate, and the quantity of indigo made, ab will o sbee Allahabad,a large deficiency w i th t h e s o o u m t e t u r r n e d o u f e t t h i o e n d iisn in excess of last year at this time. It is ascertained that t tr h i e c r t e s other districts from financial causes, it is the opinion of those well-informed on the subject, that the total crop cannot, with average weather in August, exceed 1,10,000 maunds.

The value of this description differs little from what it was at the date of our last, Co's. ra. 8 to 8-8 per md. being paid for good first quality. Refined vacuum sorts have been in much request, and refiners have found a ready market for their production, higher prices having latterly been given. Gurpatta date, and other second rate white kinds have been shipped, though somewhat sparingly, to England. All low sugars, browns, common Tirhoot sorts, and Khaurs, have found a ready sale to the refiners at full prices. No change in the market has as yet been produced by the account of the alteration proposed in the duty scale by the home Ministry. - Prices are— Benares firstquality,new Co.'srs. 7 12 to 8 8 per b. and Gurpatta date, old Co.'s rs ... 5 0— 6 0 do. lihaurs, do. ... 3 0— 3 8 do.

We have received by express from Marseilles our usual letters and papers in anticipation of the over land mail. The dates of these advices are, Calcutta, August 7th, Bombay, August sth, Madras, August 12th, and Hong-Kong, July 25th. The intelligence brought by this arrival with re spect to the state of affairs in Mooltan continues to be of the most encouraging kind. Lieutenant Ed• wardes and his gallant brothers in arms, Lieutenant Lake and General Cortlandt, in conjunction with the Seikh forces under the Sheikh Emainodeen, had been attacked on the Ist of July at the village of Sadoosam by the whole available force of Dewan Moolrej. A smart action ensued, which lasted up ward of six hours, and resulted, like that of the 18th of June, in the total discomfiture of the Mool tanees. Moolrsj commanded in person, and sustained the action with considerable bravery until a cannon ball struck the howdah of his elephant and prostrated him in the dust, after which mishap he escaped on a horse into the city of Mooltan, under the walls of which the village of Sadoosam is situated. His fol lowers soon followed the example of their chief, and were hotly pursued by the British forces, who only relinquished their attack on reaching the gates of Mooltan. Four guns were captured on this occasion with a loss to the British of only 18 killed and 70 wounded. It seems that this second great success, at a season of the year when Indian troops are supposed to be incapable of moving, has jat last opened the eyes of those in authority at Lahore, and that they have actually made up their minds to send a strong force to support Lieutenant Edwardes. The united forces of Ed wardes ,Cortlandt, and our ally the Nawaub, were by the last advices encamped not far from Mooltan, but were unable to commence operations against the fort owing to a want of artillery. A requisition for a siege train was for warded to the Resident at Lahore, and by him trans mitted to Calcutta, where a special council was held, as was generally believed, for the purpose of deciding on the request. What were the precise deliberations of the supreme conclave was not known ; but in the meantime a force had commenced its march to the assistance of Edwardes, consisting of the following subdivisions : Horse Artillery-4th troop Ist Brigade (Native), Captain Murray Mackenzie, from Lahore; 4th troop 3d Brigade (Native), Captain John Anderson, from Feroze pore. Foot Artillery for the service of the siege train of 30 guns-4th Company 2d Battalion (Captain Sissmore) from Ferozepore ; 3d and 4th Companies 3d Battalion, from Lahore (under command of Major Garbett) ; 6th Company 7th Battalion (Native) from Lahore. Lieu tenant P. Christie to act as Commissary of Ordnance. Sappers and Pioneers—The head quarters, and all companies present from Loodianah. Light Cavalry—The 11th Regiment, from Ferozepore. Irregular Cavalry—The 7th (Captain Wheler's) from Lahore ;. the 11th (Captain Master's) from Ferozepore. European Infantry—Her Majesty's 10th Foot, from Lahore ; her Majesty's 321 Foot, from Ferozepore. Native Infantry—The Bth, from Lahore •, the 31st from Ferozepore ; the 32d, ditto ; the 49th, ditto ; the 73d, from Lahore. Making a total in round numbers of about 500 artil lery, 1,503 cavalry, 1,500 European, and 3,000 native infantry, or altogether about 6,500 men. Major-General Whish is to command the force in per son ; the portion proceeding from Ferozepore is to march down the right bank of the Sutlej. Lieutenant- Colonel Augustus Abbott, Principal Commissary of Ordnance, was expected immediately at Ferozepore to superintend the embarkation of the siege train, but ap prehensions were entertained that the number of boats required would not be available for many days to come. Large quantities of ordnance cousmissiariat stores are still on their way from our local magazine to that of Ferozepore ; 200 bullocks have been dispatched from this to the frontier to assist in the conveyance of the guns from the river to their destination. 500 bearers and 200 transport train bullocks left Agta during the past week for the same destination, and more bearers are being collected there. We regret to learn that this force had already suffered considerably on its march from Lahore. The following extract from the Delhi Gazette of July 29th contains the latest information as to the movements of the auxiliary column : " Since going to press we have received the 'Kurnal dak,' and have just time to add, that the troops . of the Ferozepore column which crossed to Gunda Sing wallah, had halted on the 24th and 25th. It was expected the siege train might be ready to start by the 28th, but be lieved there would be great difficulty in providing the boats for the use of her Majesty's 32d Foot. The sap pers were encamped in the ghat, and were) to go down in Chupoos. (We use the words of our correspondent without knowing what it means, but we presume it is a kind of boat.) The Sapper company ordered from Lahore has been countermanded." With regard to Moljau himself accounts vary ; one represents him as having sent a messenger to Lieutenant Edwardes offering to surrender if his life were spared ; another, on the contrary, reports him as busily engaged in strengthening the defences of his stronghold, and in making every preparation for a desperate resistance. Neither of these statements, however, derived as they necessarily are, from native newsmongers, a class of people only too prone to in vention, can be implicitly relied on. Lahore itself was perfectly tranquil. Two native soldiers implicated in the late conspiracy had been hanged, and considerable progress had been made in tracing the ramifications of the plot, to which it was ascertained that the Dewan Molraj had been privy for a great length of time. Not the slightest symptom of a disposition to sympathise with the revolters had been manifested in any of the adjoining countries. In Sinde all was tranquil ; in Affghanistan Dost Mahomed was re ported to be planning an expedition against Balkh. From neither Sinde nor Peshawur have we any news of interest. Our Bombay letter contains no news of import ance, but we regret to have to announce the death, of Sir 13,. Oliver, Commander-in-Chief and Superin tendent of the Indian navy, and of Commodore John Pepper, acting naval storekeeper and senior officer of the Indian navy. In Calcutta the affairs of the Union Bank still seem the exclusive object of public attention. Our correspondent at Hong-Kong writes as follows, under date July 25 : " The Peninsular and Oriental steamer Pekin arrived on the evening of the 14th inst., with dates of the 24th of May from London. " Her Majesty's steamer, Medea, from Shanghai on the Bth inst., with his Excellency Governor Bonham on board, arrived in the forenoon of the same day, touching at the lower ports. General quiet prevails at Canton and at the other ports. Here we have little to remark upon since last month; a prevailing sickness has been general amongst the garrison of the 95th Regiment in particular, arising probably from the early and unusual heat; other wise the colony is generally healthy. " Her Majesty's -ship Melampus has returned to the Majesty's harbour from Whanspoa, relieved by h e. , steamer Medea; she leaves in , a few days for B om b a y. Her Majesty's ship Mariner , from Shanghai, passed through the harbour on the 23d inst. ; she is supposed to relieve the Espiegle. Her Majesty's ship Cambrian, Commodore Pluroridge, remains in our harbour. ," About 150 recruits of the 95 th Re giment arrived a few days since in the Hugh Walker. " Our latest dates are from London, May 24; Cal cutta, June 20 ; Mad ras, June 13 ; Bomba y (received to day per Antelope), June 27; Singapore, the 14th inst.; Manilla, the 15th inst.; and Sydney, April 1. " There has been some activity in trade at Canton s i nc e the middle of the month. A g ood business has been done." Our correspondent at Malta informs us that great consternation had been created in that island by the report of three fatal cases of cholera. All vessels about to leave the island had been furnished with suspected bills of health, when it was fortunately dis covered that the deaths referred to had not arisen from cholera, and clean bills of health were issued to the captains.

SOUTHAMPTON, SEPT. 24.—The Royal Mail Wes India Company's steam-ship Teviot, commanded by Captain Renett, arrived here this morning, at half-past ten o'clock, from the West Indies, with the usual mails, in charge of Lieutenant Kiddie, RN., Admiralty agent. During the first part of the voyage the Teviot had very fine weather. She left Bermuda on the 6th instant, and had light winds until the 19th, when she encountered some heavy gales, and although she had only one en gine, she accomplished the voyage, a distance of 3,116 miles, in 18 daps. This is an extraordinary perform. ance, and speaks much in praise of her captain and officers, for the manner in which they performed their duties. The freight brought by the Teviot comprised 341,414 done. 40c. on merchants account, 14 , z. Bdwt. gold bul lion, 732/. 17s. 44.

'Mexeco.—The American troops have vacated this country, the remaining portion having embarked at Vera Cruz on the Ist of August. The country is said to be in a quiet state. Paredes had taken possession of the mint at Guanuxuato, and was paying his troops from its treatury. Jemeeca.—The weather here has been highly favour able for the crops. It was reported that an outbreak was likely to take place in one of the parishes, in conse quence of a report that the proprietors intended to throw themselves on the protection of the Americans, which would be the means of bringing about the system of slavery again. Every precaution had been taken by Governor Grey to quell any disturbance that may arise, and had sent troops to the disturbed districts. ANTIC UA.—A most terrific hurricane had visited this Place, blowing down the barracks, dockyard, store houses, part of the cathedral, &c. The damage is chi* fly confined to the south side of the island, and the parishes of St. Philip, St. Mary, and St. Paul have bean the most effected by it. In St. Mary's parish scarcely a house was left standing, and the inhabitants are com pelled to find shelter in the cellars of the parsonage. The damage done to the Government buildings is esti mated at 25,000/. At Havannah a report was in circulation that several merchants had been arrested and sent to the bastile for a conspiracy against the Queen of Spain, having visited the United States and offered to throw themselves and Cuba under the dominion of America. YUCATAN. —Accounts have been received which state that the Tower of Mune had been taken by the whites after a conflict with the Indians. The whites had also captured the Tower of Ilampolot, routing the Indians who defended it with considerable loss. The general aspect of affairs is decidedly favourable to the whites. VENZUELA.—It is said that a squadron under Jose Celia had driven the squadron of General Monagas from the Gulf of Maracaibo, capturing one of his schooners. Monagas was refitting his fleet at Porto Cabello. The Maracaibo fleets continued to hold possession of San Carlos. An impression prevailed that an effort would be made to overthrow the government of Monagas in Maracaibo, as much dissatisfaction prevailed, and many were anxious for the restoration of General Paez and the " constitutional party. A decree of amnesty for political offences was issued by Monagas, containing also a clause of banishment against Celia and others, which, however, was of little effect, as on the same day Celia captured or dispersed the fleet of Menages in Ma racaibo Bay. SHOCKING ACClDENT.—Saturday being the ope. ration day at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, much interest was attached to a case which has come under the notice of Mr. Lawrence, the surgeon, in a very extraordinary manner. It appears that on Tuesday last a lad about fourteen years of age, named George Castle, was attend ing to one of the saws in use at the Steam Sawing-mills in the Curtain-road, Shoreditch, and while it was at work he reached across to remove something which was in the way, when in an instant one of his fingers got down into the strap. He tried violently to release it, lest the arm should be forced in, and in doing this he brought the edge of the saw to his right thigh, and al most in an instant the leg was completely separate d above the knee. His cries soon brought as sistance; the machinery was stopped, and he was c onveyed as speedily as possible to St. Bartholomew's Hospital. in a very ex hausted state from the great loss of blood. Mr. Law rheons c p e i t , a w l , 11 who i was re ct l y a t e t x h a e m t i i n m e e d a t attend ingstump, his a a patients d in th a t t h a e second amputation would be necessary, just above the first this instance was very the separation, in order to close th e fl es h over the bone — for in the s l k im il b ful w ly as ' performedof taken unerh t off level,—and e influence of chloroform, the poor lad seeming to suffer little pain. There is every reason to hope for his re covery. For some time past a conviction h as preva ile d I • n the minds of those best acquainted with railway affairs, that all those lines whose interests are in any degree conflicting, should be governed by some amicable arrangement for the protection of their mutual interests. To promote this de sirable object, we have been informed that Mr. Chaplin, M.P., chairman of the South-Western Railway, and Mr. Russell, chairman of the Great Western Railway, met Mr. Glyr M.P., Chairman of the North-Western Railway, yesterday, at his house in Lombard-street. The result of this con ference, we believe, has not transpired, but we have no doubt that it will be highly beneficial to the welfare of their respective companies. We feel perfectly warranted in stating that the management of all the metropolitan railways ought to be guided by some general arrangement, which might be rendered equally beneficial to the contracting parties and the public. The operation of railways on public convenience is not yet perfectly understood, and they only require a better application of the powers they possess to render them (notwithstanding the money that has been injudiciously wasted on them) as profitable as they were ex pected to be.—Chronicle.

After this sale the price of Patna rose to 925 r., and continued to range at 915 r. to 925 r., until largo pur chases made on the arrival of the Anne, and rumours that the prices in China had gone up to 700 dolls., set speculation and excitement on the qui vine. Prices rose 1,100 rs. to 1,140 Co.'s rs., and fluctuated hourly, until the Rob Roy brought the confirmation of the pre vious report. Another upward start took place, until over 1,200r5. was reached, but subsequently a rather rapid decline has taken place, and we now quote, as the last rates on Saturday : Patna Co.'s rs. 1,100 to 1,120 per chest. Benares The tenth sale takes place on Wednesday the 9th inst. Exports as above— Chests. China Singapore and Penang ... 30 Freights—An abundant supply of tonnage has been at market during the month, and freights appeared likely to keep very low, but increased shipments of produce being thereby induced, a reduction was es tablished. IMPORTS. Cotton Goods—The s;tiesciilanchester cottons have been large, and prices of the principal staples have gene rally advanced since the date of our last. The demand appears to be a growing one, and with moderate imports and favourable rains in the upper provinces, there ap pears little prospect of a relapse to dulness. There is no improvement in the prices of Glasgow light fabrics, though several rather large transactions have taken place, chiefly of a speculative nature, at very low prices. The difficulty lately experienced by Glasgow shippers in obtaining advances has had the effect of distributing these goods among so many houses, all most anxious to realise their advances, that the difficulty of contending with an oversupply is greatly aggravated. Gray Shirtings—An extensive demand has prevailed throughout the past month for 40 inch, and a general advance in value has taken place , _ the lower qualities 2a. to 3a. per piece, and in the better 2a. to 3s. per piece; middling quality is moat wanted; 45 inch grays have remained dull of sale, and stock of such is still ra ther large. White shirtings have been in growing demand throughout the month, and are now in good request for the upper provinces, particularly common and middling cloths, of known makes. _ _ _ Gray Jaconets—These goods have been dull of sale, and previous prices are not procurable—there being little inquiry except for local consumption. The inferior descriptions of 40 in gray shirting's now imported, and moderato prices at which they sell, doubtless interfere with demand for grey jaconets. White Jaconets—lmports continue moderate, and de mand for all qualities on the increase. Sales have been large, and latterly at an advance of 2 annas per piece. White Cambrics, 6.4ths—A few sales have been ma:ie at a considerable decline, but the article is scarcely sale able at any rate, and stocks both in importers' and dealers' hands are so large, that there appears no chance, of improvement until imports are quite stopped. Madapollams—Scarcely anything has been done in those goods. Mulls—Rather a large business has been done in com mon makes of mulls, Nos. 2 to 5, but at low prices, being 2to 4 annas per piece below May rates. The in quiry has been speculative, it being unusual to sell these goods largely at this season. Fine 45-in. mulls have been sold to a fair extent, but also at low prices. Bock Muslins—The sales of Nos. 1 to 3 have been very small, and at even lower rates than before, 14 annas per piece having been taken for No. 1. The prospects of the market are hopeless unless the Ran goon market is opened, of which there appears no chance. Lappets—There have been a few sales, induced by the low prices taken, but demand is of the most limited kind. Lappet Scarfs—Several large sales have been made at very low rates. Gray Twills or Drills remain quite unsaleable, and with a very heavy stock. Tho market is well supplied with American, and prices of that are so low, that imita- tions will not sell at all. Turkey Red Goods—Twills-25-inch are little wanted, good bright dye only being saleable ; 33-inch and 36- inch are selling at low prices ; 42-inch are in some in quiry, and for light cloth fair prices are obtained ; 60- inch have been sold at reduced prices, 6a. 6p. to 7a. per yard. Red Cambrics-25.inch are in little inquiry and have sold at miserable prices ; of 33-inch, the sales are also at very poor rates. Turkey red mulls—The prices of these goods have sunk to Co.'s re. 5 to 5 7 per piece, and the stock is much in excess of the wants of the market. Printed mulls and jaconnets 20-yards—These have been supplied in quantity far exceeding the limited consump tion, and there have been few sales, the rates ruling en tailing heavy loss. With all Turkey red goods the market is over-supplied, and demand has this season been unusually small. Printed Goods—There has latterly been more inquiry for suitable styles of prints, and being scarce, higher rates have been paid. Good German Turkey red chintzes have been selling well, but common dyes it is difficult to sell at all, such being only saleable at most ruinous prices. Bengal and neutral stripes are wanted, and cambric chintzes of new and suitable styles command fair rates. Woollens have been largely sold. Reported sales are— , Woollens, scarlet ...120 ps.

Tiirk4 Red Twist—Demand has been rather dull, and prices of common dye are lower. Sales reported are— Co.'s Rupees. German dye, No. 30 to 60 40 bales 1 4 6to 1 7 0 per lb. Red ditto BO 1 2 6—l 3 9 Green Twist—Has been sold at 14as. per lb. Yellow, 9as. 6pies. per lb. Copper—The sales of copper are not on the usual scale of magnitude at this season, nor has demand been active. There has been more inquiry during tho last week, but prices, compared with invoice cost, are low. Stocks arc tight, but dealers appear to have few orders from the' north-west to execute. Spelter—The demand for this metal has been very small. Stock is light, and arrivals very moderate, but dealers knowing the price to be 131. in England, expect heavy imports, and will not take beyond actual wants. The price is now, rs. 9 2 per fy. maund, and sales during the month do not exceed 4,000 maunds at rs. 9-2 to 9-4 per fy. maund. Iron—The price of bar iron has fallen about 6 as. per md., but most other kinds are selling fairly. There is still a large stock of old bars pressing on the market, b and offered at very low rates , fr esh imports of bar and olt may be quoted Co.'s rs. 3 per fy. md.

Another month of inactivity has passed, and the only article which has improved in value is raw cotton, the sales of which have been considerable, and are still pro gressing,. A partial failure of the native crop is re ported, but this requires confirmation, foreign letters from Shanghai making no meetion of such a fact. Nothing worth mentioning has been done in any other article of import, as foreigners still demand higher rates than the Chine.se are willing at preent to pay. Raw Cotton—The sales amount to nearly 19,000 bales, about 17,000 of which have been the Bombay staple, at 3 to 6 maces advance. Cotton Yarn—About 300 bales have been sold atabout previous rates. The stocks now remaining vkil be be nefited by the late Advance in raw cotton. High num bers are still most in request. Cotton Cloths—The sales have been nearly confined to those in Chinese hands. Foreigners are not offering their stocks, while the natives are selling what they have at some slight reduction on quoted rates, and it i* expected they will soon be out of stock and compelled to enter the market and supply themselves from foreign holders. The sales heerc been only about 8,000 pieces gray and 5,000 whites in Canton, and 2,000 pieces white in Hong-Kong. American Drills—Of these considerable sales have been effected at rates rather below those previously ob tained. Of 40-yards goods, sales of 12,000 pieces are re ported, and of 30-yards, 2,000 pieces. In Spanish stripes nothing has been done, and thej do not yet attract much attention. In a month or two market may be expected. Long Ells—About 4,000 pieces have been sold at about previous rates. Starlets fluctuate in price Camlets—Nothing doing. Lastings—No sales reported. Iron is without much alteration at present, but several parcels arriving both here and at Shanghai may affect the market, which is always a very sensitive one. _ _ Lead has slightly improved in value. in metals generally. Sandalwood—There have been several arrivals, but prices keep firm as the article is small in stock and wanted; fine Malabar is worth 14 dolls. to 15 dolls. Straits produce, such as pepper, betel, nut, rattans, &c., all sell freely, and as the market is seldom overstocked, prices are most generally remunerative. Opium—Malwa has kept up from 880 dolls. to WOO dolls.; the fluctuations have been but few. Patna has seen many changes this month, the lowest price 'having been 620 dolls., and the highest 685 dolls.; at present it is at 660 dolls., and advancing. The Lanrick's non arrival when expected is the cause of the present rising market, aided by accounts of high prices at Shanghai, and a partial failuiv of the native crop. A fall in Shang hai and the arrival of one or two vessels with the 9th sale drug would probably bring Patna far within 600 dolls. Benares is very difficult of sale, and is not much affected by the fluctuations in other kinds, as its use is vey limited; the present quotation is 620 dolls., the lowest price of the month was 590 dolls. Turkey is nominally 600 dolls., but very difficult of sale for the moment. Nothing doing Agra Bank, di North Wester 011 iseeunt on terest on • Transfer Steel ( ) 7 7a3s— Bombay 5 _per - EXPORTS. Tea—The season for 1847-48 closed on the 30th ult., the total export showing a deficiency of 5,700,0001 b. on that of last year, and 10,000,0001 b. on that of the year previous; and if we deduct the cargoes of the Romeo and Siam, with other casualties, a further deficiei%y of 1,500,0001 b. will be apparent. No further cargoes have been dispatched since the close of the past season. The new congou market opened on the 7th, 216 taels on board ; since which from 70 to 80 chops have found buyers at 22 to 26 1 1 1 taels, at least two thirds of which are second class teas, for which comparatively extrava gant prices have been given. The settlements have ceased, but exceed in amount what we had beent ed to expect, and five ships will probably be dispatched in the course of the present month, and the same number may be expected to sail during the month following ; these will take 5,000,000 to 6,000,000 against ,000,000 up to to the end of August last year. This continued defi ciency in export cannot fail, we think, to afford material relief to the home market. The state of commercial affairs both here and in Eu rope confirms the general opinion that excessive ship ments need not be apprehended for the coming year. The crop of new congou is decidedly inferior in quality to those of previous seasons, and the number of really fine chops less by nearly one half than is usually the case, while the total supply of monings of all grades is ex pected to be very deficient. About 40 chops of new tea only remain on the market, and they have latterly been coming in verLOstwiy. Scented teas have round purchasers to a litnited eF ten t at fair prices for fine descriptions of the new crop. Old season's teas are neglected. Some purchases have been made of Canton gunpow ders and imperials ; and the better qualities have some n hat advanced in price. Twankays, hysons, and young hysons, and indeed all other kinds, are neglected. Congou.-8 to 10 chops of old teas Lave been taken at 11 to 14 taels, principally for flooring ships. Of the new crop, 120 chops har arrived, 75 to 80 of which have found buyers at 26 to 26i taels for Ist class ; 22 to 25 for 2d class. No Ist class now remain. Souchong.—A few musters of new crop are down; the quality interior. Nothing doing. Oolong and Plain Orange Pekoes.—None of the old crop left. About 1,000 packages new Oolong and 500 to GOO new orange Pekoe are on the market. No trans actions. _ _ _ Scented Orange Pekoe.—A few chops of new tea► have been taken at 20 to 25 for good to fine, 35 to 40 toy superfine. Scented Caper.—About 2,000 boxes of new seasons have been settled at 19 to 22 for good to fine descrip tions. Flowery Pekoe—But little doing; one or two parcels of the new crop reported to have been sold at 66 taels. Twankay, byson, and young hyson may be quoted at the same rate as last month. We have not heard of any transactions in these descriptions; few remain, and these very common in quality. Imperial and Gunpowder—Several purchases of fair common, and the better descriptions of Cantons have been taken at 17 to 28; an advance of 2 taels is quoted on the finer descriptions of Cantons. Prices of all other descriptions remain about the same as last advised. MANILLA. (From the New Weekly General Price Current, July 1.) REMARKS ON THE MARKET. IMPORTS. Cutton Goods—We have no change to notice in piece goods. The market continues very dull, and no improve ment can be expected till the end of November. Three causes, in our opinion, have kept the market so languid during the last six months--first, the large stocks on hand; second, the want of exportation of sugar; and third, the want of exportation of rice. The shopkeepers dare not purchase but small quantities, and they offer low prices for all descriptions of coloured goods. EXPORTS. Sugar—No demand. Prices nominal, at 3-7-0 dolls. to 4 dolls. for current quality. Brown at 3-3 dolls. to 3-4-0 dolls. Indigo—No transactions. Hemp—The last arrivals have been sold from .5-6-0 dolls. to 5-7.0 dolls., per picul unscrewed. Demand. Sapan Wood—The market supplied and firm. Rice—Neglected. Cigars—Little demand, even at the factory prices. The Oquendo, loading for Singapore, it is supposed will take about 2,000 boxes of mil. EXCHANGE. On England—We understand that there have been no transactions during the week, and that the drawers do not admit anything worse than 4.2 for six months' bile. TONNAGE. We hear that the barque Sir E. Parry has been chartered for England, but we do not know at what rates. THE COPYING TELEGRAPH.—SeveraI experimental trials have recently been made of Mr. Bakewell's copying electric telegraph, with a view to ascertain whether the amount of electrical power transmitted by the wires of the Electric Telegraph Company is sufficient to work the copying instruments. The experiments were made between the Electric Telegraph Company's branch station in Seymour street and Slough, that being the only station at which the w ires could be spared for expe rimental purposes. : The results proved most'satisfactorily that the same power which is re quisite to work the needle telegraph is Imply sufficient for the copying process. Messeries written iNLondon were re ceived at Slough, copied oh paper, and in the form of the original writing, the character of which might be readily re cognised. Speed of transmission was Not attempted with the small model instruments employed, but the messages were, neverthless, transmitted, with a sing \ l \ e re w u ire, with double the Bakewell expects to be able, with instruments rapidity of the needle telegraph. i oe fe , a t NN lel l i, transmissioneTb wasy o using r elv dersta understand constructedt hat g r. on the working scale, to transmit fac-simile copies of more than four hundred letters of tw th o e lN a i lphabet per minute with a ould be ' doubled. res rapiditysingle lv as now practised, the COMMITMEN John Smith, S MITH FOR MURDER...—. j oa ll tedat our assizes a few weeks ago, of maliciously wounding the Rev.
