Excuse my freedom In writing Hoes to one so famed as you ; Aid if you think it worth your while to read 'em, 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, 'tis 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 commendation 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. Your verse is true, Sir , ay ! and se your prose is, Nor have you ever overrated MOSES. F.. MOSES and SON invite especial attention to their Shooting enats, which possess a peculiar cut and style, adding much comfort la the fit. E.

CELlBA.CY.—Singleness is not always the con sequence of disinclination, disappointed affection, ors diffi culty in meeting with a tit 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 instance a where, under that blighting consciousness, man has permitted the most ardent affec- Hos to consume him to the grave, rather than consign its object to that life of unmitigab!e 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 se lfish desire of exclusively enioying her society , by precluding her Prom 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 disqUalitications 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 Weakening effecls of Later Excesses ; and Nervousness of Tempera ment ; the next sources of importance are hereditary and acquired disease ; and, lastly, men are prevented from marrying by the effects of disease—which, when ill-cured, leaves traces that forbid all im pulse towards wed`ock. In each of these Instances it is unhappily too common for the sufferer to consider his case beyond remedy, and he fails to consult e ven his own medical attendan t. Such will find a n 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., Consulting Surgeons, 7, Frith-street, Soho-square, London, entitled MANHOOD ; the Causes of its Premature Decline, with Plain Directions for Perfect Restoration, &c., &c.

The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un com in presiog hurry ; but the truth lies deep er. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindr ances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set dement. Honour and justice demand that health should form as item in the compact; it alone dignities the alliance. Blighted hopes or seglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if these surmises concern yea, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little MEMOIRS 'Oa Single and Married Life," pub. in 2 vols., ls. each (by vest, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered sy misinterinetatien of their supposed contents, from obtaining them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but for the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whom they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or together, are a disgrace to the age.

They are not raerely pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's life, 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 atter nature's laws—and to keep always an the " sunny side of the way."

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 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 gelded 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 bindin g to an honourable od? It is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early habits, or the res ults of secret disease, knows lihnself to be disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been instituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment of Important ends. The wretched condition of such a being must subsequently be beyond measure depl orable ! Loving and beloved, he entails the most miserable disaapointments on the object of his choice, and upon himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possession of e i s t. e e r s e t i s g t a i n t g a i n t dd i e l l s e fi r v n e d s the h natural attributes would change the scere, and yield to both a life of attention of all.

(From the Times.) _ _ 'e have receive" 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 Emamodeen, had been attacked on the Ist of July at the village of Sadoosam by the whole available force of Dewan Moolraj. 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. Moolraj 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 ~ a rheit Tadian_troops are supposed to be incapable of moving, has at 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 Edwardes,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 07 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 Loodianab. 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—Fier Majesty's 10th Foot, from Lahore ; her Majesty's 32d 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, 45 , 0 0 0 r cavalry,altogeth altogether about European, and 3,000 native men. i - 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 Augastus 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. Largo quantities of ordnance cotnmissiariat 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 Kernel 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 newstnongers, 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 s of Sir R. 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, M edea, fro m Shanghai on the Bth inst., with his Excellency Governor Bonham on board, arrived in the forenoon of same day, touching at the lower ports. General quiet prevails at Canton and at the other ports. Here we h ave little to remark upon since last month; a prevailing sickness has b een genera l 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 Melainpus has returned to the harbour from Whanipoa, relieved by her Majesty'sfor Bombav steamer Medea; she leaves in a few days Her Majesty's ship Mariner, from Shanghai p ass ;d . tbrough the harbour on the 23d inst.; she is supposed to relieve the Espiegle.

" Thera has been some activity in trade at Canton since the middle of the month. A goon 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, SUNDAY, SEPT. 24.—The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company's abip Mont rose, Captain Richard Gosson, arrived here to-day with the usual Spanish 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:-12 boxes of eggs, 100 boxes of almonds, 212 boxes of grapes, 100 barrels of dates, 20 oxen, 475 half-boxes of grapes, 6 bales 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 frem 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 ChargC d'Affaires to Portugal, bad been presented to the King and Queen at a levee held on the occasion of the Prince Royal's birthday. Some angry correspondence had 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 Montroe 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 52i; at 90 days' date, 521 to 52i; on Paris, 545; Hamburgh, 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, 49i; on Paris, bf. 28c. to sf. 30c.; Marseilles, sf. 110 c. to sf. 32c.; Genoa, sf. 32e.; at eight days' sight, on Madrid, 4 dis.; Cadiz and Se • rifle, dis. ; Malaga, par ; Alacante, 1 dis. ; Va lencia, 1 dis.; Barcelona, dis.; Spanish pillared dollars, 2 per cent. prem. WEST INDIA MAIL. SOUTHAMPTON, SEPT. 24.—The Royal Mail West India Company's steam-ship Teviot, commanded by Captain itenett, arrived here this morning, ut half-past ten o'clock, from the West Indies, with the usual mails, in charge of Lieutenant Kiddie, R.N., 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 dap,. 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 dolls. 40c. on merchants' account, 140 z. BJwt. gold bul lion, 7321. 17s. 4d. British coin, 395 serous of cochineal, 7 ditto of jalapa, 474 doubloons, 3,260 fire-franc pieces, 23,670 dollars in gold, 19440 z. silver bullion, 16 cases vanilla, 64 cases cigars, 95 bales of tobacco, 51 packages of sundries. Her dates of sailing were—Vera Cruz, August 15 ; Tampico, August 10; Havannab, August 26; Honduras, August 11 ; Jamaica, August 22 ; Demerara, August 20 ; Trinidad, August 23 ; airbadoes, August 29 ; Grenada, August 29 ; St. Kitt's, August 31 ; Nevis, August 31 ; Porto Rico, August 27 ; St. Thomas, Sept. 1 ' • Bermuda, Sept. 6. MEXICO.—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 treasury. JAMAICA.—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. ANTIGUA.—A most terrific hurricane had visited this place, blowing down the barracks, dockyard, store houses, part of the cathedral, &c.

YUCATAN. — Accounts have been received which state that the Tower of Muna had been taken by the whites after a conflict with the Indians. The whites had also captured the Tower of Hampolot, 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 Celiz 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 " constitutinnal party." A decree of amnesty for political offences was issued by Monagas, containing also a clause of banishment against Celiz and others, which, however, was of little effect, as on the same day Celiz captured or dispersed the fleet of Monagas in Ma- racaibo Bay. SHOCKING ACCIDENT. —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, Shoreditc h, and whi le it was at work he reached across to remove something which was in the way, when in an instant on e 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 separated above the knee. His cries soon brought assistance; the machinery w as s t o pp e d, an d h e was conveyed as speedily as possible to St. Bartholomew's Hospital. in a very ex hausted state from the great loss of blood. Mr. Law rence,sfshleoeeoverpslevel,--and innri,—tadatt w hli aa: h ennm o ddfi, irriwtusnehtatciaistsnti yexamined the time attending his patients in the orderi s o wt am p utation instance s w ct e o oy would be sblei etmh th e skilfully besw necessary, t fla u se m ps h p eo r , f and fooc vroemj co u rse, rure f ss o dtte u h, au n etbn d aodbkv t eoe h ernn a ett t ohh— a ffee influence of chloroform, the poor lad seeming to suffer little pain.

For minds some of thosetime epastabest acquainted conviction ti, railway ha s prevailed in the ll that a lines whose interests are in any degre e con fli c ti ng, h governed by some amicable arrang e m en t for the otuhldosbee 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 M r . Russell, c h a i r man of the Great Western Railway, met Mr. Gly n , 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 th e i r respec tive companies. We feel perfectly warranted in stating that the management of all the metropolitan railways ought to be guided by some general arrangement, whi c h might be rendered equally beneficial to the contracti ng p ar ties and the public. The operation of railways on public convenience is not yet . perfectly understood, and they only trequire 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. S SEPTEMBER 25, 1818. 9 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, - but more re cently the moderate freights, and now the warlike ac counts from France, have caused a briikermalicet. In rice a little more business has been in progresP..• Shell lac and lac dye sell freely for America. Safflower sells slowly. Linseed is in request for both Englark3 and America, and other oilseeds are also taken ior England. Jute is wanted, but pending the arrival of the new croil; little is to be had. Shipments to England of most ort,lie minor staples live been increased by the decreased Ei3s , t of toneage. With the United St a tes o f A mer i c it' a brisk business is iu progress. There has b.en an extraordinary rise in the value Zf opium during the past fortnight. The 9th sale was hell on the llth of July, and the average of Patna was Co.'' rs. 899 67. The price in the bazaar has since heed' 1,240r5. and is now I,loOrs. per chest. There was a' steady market for the drug at Co.'s rs. 915 to 925,"' until the arrival, on July 23J, of the Anne—shortly after which extensive purchases were made in the bazaar—a report got abroad that this vessel had brou;ht news from Penang, from the China steamer en route to Galle, and that opium had advanced at Canton to 700 dolls, per chest—much excitement prevailed, the price of Patna quickly rose to 1,140r5, 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• Cations from the bazaar werel,loOrs. to 120 rs. per chest. All accounts agree in stating that the rise in China is purely the result 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 sway 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 pic 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 settin g in of the rains in the upper provinces, and conse quentfears 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 irioney 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 of 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 are few whose acceptances, even at a short date, can be dis counted in the bazaar. Tho 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 affairs 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 Fuur per Cents. Quotations are— New Fives, per cent. ... Rs. 0 4to Rs. 0 10 dis. Sicca Fives, per cent. ... 2 Bto 3 0 Company's Fours, per cent. 13 8 14 0 Sicca Fours ... 14 8 15 0 There has been a great scarcity of good bills of ex change during the month, and a further decline has con sequently taken place. American credit bills have been in much request, and holders have secured extreme rates. Quotations for first-class six months' sight bills on Lon don are— Documents ... ls. 9id. to ls. 91d. per rupee. American credits I Is. 9td. to ls. 9/1. per rupee. Baring's or Brown's Oriental Bank ls. 9d. It has been rumoured that Government was about to ship 30 lacs of silver to England, and the accounts-by the mail are confirmatory, it being stated that 50 lacs are ordered borne. The supply of tonnage has continued abundant, and shortly after the date of our last a material decline took place. The rates to Liverpool sunk to 31. ss. to 3/. 10s. for sugar, but from increased shipments and the firmness of consignees, have again advanced, and wo quote 4/. per ton as the present average rate to both London and Li verpool for sugar. Istomo.—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 Bheghulpore at the end of June, and to a small extent in Tirhoot, and towards Furreedpore and Daces. Some loss from blight has oc curred in Kishnaghur, 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 during 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, in excess of last year at this time. It is ascertained that there will be a large deficiency in the outturn of the dis • tricts above Allahabad, and with some reduction in 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 supply of BQnares has come in freely, and dealers have met demand, by realizing steadily on arrival. The value of this description differs little from what it was at the date of our last, Co's. rs. 8 to 8-8 per md. being paid fur 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.

Previous to the arrival of the mail of the 7th of June there was a moderate inquiry for good kinds, but the accounts of a fall of 10s. per cwt., brought by that mail, stopped operations altogether for a time. The low freights afterwards current produced a moderate inquiry, and during the last week a good deal of business was done.

After this sale the price of Patna rose to 925 r., and continued to range at 915 r. to 925 r., until large 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 vitae. Prices rose 1,100 Co: rs. to 1,140 Co.'s rs., and fluctuated hourly, until the 11,)b 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 wo now quote, as the last rates on Saturday : r Patna s. 1,100 to 1,120 per chest.

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 sales of Manchester 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 gaods among so many houses, all most anxious to realise their advances, that the difficulty of contending with an over supply 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 3a. per piece; middling quality is most 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 ahirtings now imported, and moderate 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 made 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 these 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 anuas 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. The 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 3G 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 rs. 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 l2O ps. Rs. 136 to 2 2 per yard. assorted 228 140 to 1 9 - - superfine l7B 226 to 3 4 - - flannel 177 090 to 0 13 Printed 195 1 4 oto 1 6 Mule Twist—The sales of mule twist have been ex tensive, and prices of No. 40 to 60 advanced 1 to 2 pies per morah shortly after the date of our last; prices of No. 40 are tolerably well tm.intained, but for No. 50 and 60 there is not so goon demand, tho Marwarries not being at present in the market. Turkey 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 the last week, but prices, compared with invoice cost, are low. Stocks are 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 aro selling fairly. There is still a largo stock of old bars pressing on the market, and offered at very low rates, fresh imports of bar and bolt may be quoted Co.'s rs. 3 per fy. Lead-1,200 maunds pig have been_sold at rs. 7- 12 per factory maund. Swedish Steel—Some sales of old stock have been made at sr. 15a. to 6r. per factory maund. Tin Plates have declined in value, 10 being worth Co.'s re. 15.8 to 16 per box. Salt—The last sales are two cargoes of Liverpool stoved salt at Co 's rs. SO per 100 maund. The demand is good, and arrivals arc light. 13ecr—Prices arc Co.'s rs. 60 for Allsopp, and Co.'s rs. 55 for Bass's. MONEY MARKET. BANE SHARES. Bengal Dank, CQ•'s Es, ...

(From the On2rlan I F tend (g 4 China, July 22.) Another ['inth of inactivity has Erissed, and the only article which has improved in value is raw cotton, the sales of which have been cansiderable, and are still pro gressing. A partial failure of the native crop is re ported, but this requires confirmation, foreign letters frum.Shanghai making no mention of such a fact. Nothing worth mentioning has been clone in any other article of import, as fox eig.ars still demand higher rates than the Chinese are willing at present to pay. flaw 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 su,elts how remaining will be be nefited by :the late advanea 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 5 • expected they will soon be out of sttck and compelled to enter the market and supply themselves from foreign •ItiAders. The sales have been only about 8,000. pieces grak auc1,5,000 whites iu Canton, and 2,000 pieces white in Haig-Kong. American Drills—Of these considerable sales have ben 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 they do not yet attract much attention. In a month or two a market may be expected. Long Ells—About 4,1566 pieces have been sold at about previous rates. Starlets fluctuate in price daily. 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. Nothing doing in metals generally. Sandalwood—Tnere have been several arrivale, 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 overstodked, prices are most generally remunerative. Opium—Malwa has kept up from 880 dolls. to 900 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 failure 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 very 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. 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 deficiency 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, 26 taels on board ; since which from 76 to 80 chops have found buyers at 22 to 261 tads, at least two thirds of which are second class teas, for which comparatisely extrava gant prices have been giver. The settlements have ceased, but exceed in amount , what we had been; ed to expect, and fire ships will probably be dispatched in the' coarse 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 9,000,000 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 do cidedly 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 gratics 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 very slowly. Scented teas have found purchasers to a limited ex tent at fair prices for fine descriptions of the new stop. Old season's teas are neglected. _ _ _ Some purchases have been made of Carton gunpow ders and imperials ; and the better qualitits have some what advanced in price. Twankays, hysons, and young bysons, 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 have 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 inferior. Nothing doing. Oolong and Plain Orange Pekoes.—None of the old crop left. About 1,000 packages new Oolong and 500 to 600 now 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 for superfine. Scented Caper.—About 2,000 boxes of new seasons have been settled at 19 to 22 for good to tine descrip tions. Flowery Pekoe—But little doing; one or two parcels of the new crop reported to have been sold at GG taels. Twankay, hyson, 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 Weelily - 6;;;;;liPrice Current, July 1.) REMARKS ON THE MARKET. IMPORTS. Cotton 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 [nil. 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 aix months' TONNAGE. We hear that the barque S ir E. Parry has bcen chartered for England, but we do not know at what rates. TIIE COPYING TELEGRArn..L-Several 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 El e ctric Telegraph Comp an y is sufficient to work th e copying i n struments.

COMMITMENT OF JOHN SMITH FOR MURDER.— John Smith, who was convicted at our assizes a few weeks ago, of maliciously wounding the Rev. Mr. Hadow, at Everley, and sentenced to seven years' t * on Tuesday last brought from Fisherto il g r a a o zsfi n or t r ie tio c n us , t zs of Mr. Dowding, by virtue of a writ of habeas corpus, to the Crown Inn, Everley, on a charge of murdering Nlearier Law rence. The magistrates present were Sir W. Curtis, T. B. Fowle, Esq., and E. D. Poore, Esq. After the examination of eighteen witnesses, the prisoner was fully committed for trial at our next assizes for the murder; and Mr. Stratton, the superintendent of police in that district, was bond over to prosecute. The poor woman, it will be recollected, was discovered lying in the road, stoned to death ; and the prisnner, when he made his ferocious attack upon Mr. Hadow, acknowledged that he had just committed a murder....
