As the season of Christmas is fast drawing on, I've a very great mind to address you, fliend John, Four show of prize meat is a subject too full • To be met with a slight—is it not, Mr. Bull ? Like yourself, Mr. John, I delight in these things. And the many old customs which Christmas time brings. I trust that the "show" at the noted bazaar • Will show in its prizes what Englishmen are. lie doubt you'll be proud when your roguish eye falls, On the corpulent cattle arranged in the stalls. Methinks I can see, "the head and the chief," Surveying your bullocks, as big as bull beef. • I warrant your warm English heart will be full, When you cast your " sheeps' eyes" at your sheep, Mr. Bull. And won't you feel jolly, and won't you look big, • At the porpus possessing the name of "prize pig." But I say, Mr. Bull, I would have you to know, That yours is by no means the only "prize show." B. MOSES and SON, let me tell you, good sire. Have prepared such a show as you'll greatly admire. The " stock" (not a " live stock") is nought more or less, Than what may be viewed as " A SHOW OF PRIZE DRESS." Now really, John Bull, if you know what is done, In preparing for Christmas by MOSES and SON, To their grand City Mart on your stick you would toddle, And round the "Prize Dress Show" exultingly waddle. And John (you will pardon me calling you John), I'm sure you'd not rest till you tried something on. THE SHOW OF PRIZE HATS I would have you to know, Can never be equalled wherever you go. Elastic and shapely, and glossy, and light, These Hats will be found on the very first sight; And I'm sure your good sense a 11 convince you that none Can equal the Hats of E. MOSES and SON. Anther rare sight, which I know you won't lose, Will be found when you witness THE SHOW OF PRIZE SHOES. Such prime Boots and Shoes will be certain to please, For I knew you've got taste in such matters as these. You know pretty well how a thing should be done And I'm sure you'll give credit to MOSES and SON. Another attraction Illustrious " Sir," Refers to the ladies - A. SHOW OF PRIZE FUR. B. MOSES and SON—In their Fars smart and warm Seem bent upon taking the ladies by storm, Such Muffs and su c h B oas , an d such Mantles are there As certainly never protected the fair. THE SHOW OF PRIZE HOSIERY Next let me name, Which I cannot help praising exactly the same ; The stock, Sir, is beautiful, varied, and full, And really without a defect, Mr. Bull. I trust after this you'll too make one At the Prize Christmas Show of E. MOSES and SON.

A A (3- E. 111 One half the wend are desolately single, and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em titter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, 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 demand that health should form ass item in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect waned more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

Let no imaginatively refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered oy misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but to the closet perusal of those more 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. Furthermore, two other little publications claim your attention (same price Is. each, by post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely 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- servanee of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he would be done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always on the " sunny side of the way."

PRETENDED HAT-BOX MAKERS. — On Thursday evening a seizure was made of an illicit distillery at a house in West-street, Bethnal-green. The officers found the door strongly fastened, and no answer being given to their request for admission, they forced it open. In the back lower room they discovered a still at full work, running off strong spirits, with throe large casks of mo lasses wash in full operation, and all the requisites for illicit distillation. A precipitate retreat, it appeared, had been made by the men who were at work at the time the officers entered, for in the upper room they found a ladder placed up to a hole in the ceiling, and the tiles on the top of the house had been removed to allow a man to pass through. The officers followed up the ladder, but had not proceeded many steps when it was forced down, and they fell to the ground, extinguishing at the same time the lights which they carried. Being thus left in the dark, a considerable time elapsed before they could resume the pursuit, and by this time the men had Rot on the top of the house, them .° tfi tome adjoin ing buildings, and finally leaping into a garden, and escaped. The men are known by the description of " scum-boilers" at a sugar. house, and to conceal their real employment professed to he hat-box ma k ers , many such articles being placed in the wiudow. The seizure was conveyed to the Excise warehouses in Broad. street. One of the officers was considerably injured by the fail of the ladder.

LONDON, MONDAY 1, OVERLAND MAIL INDIA. We have received from Marseilles our advices and papers from India in anticipation of the overland mail of the 2d October. The dates thus received are—from Calcutta to the 2d, Madras the 7th, and Bombay the 2d of October. There is no news yet of any effective movement as regards the operations on the north-west frontier of India, nor does it appear probable that we shall hear of anything decisive until, at least, another month. Shere Singh slipped away with his force from Moultan on the night of the 9th of October. An at tack was at first contemplated by General Which on this body, but was desisted from on sufficient grounds as it appears, namely, that the attack would have been a night one against artillery, with the Dewan in the rear, and, on our part, a lack of the necessary cavalry force to insure success. Orders have appeared dated " Simla, October 13," from the Commander-in-Chief of India, constituting a force of some 30,000 men, to be designated " the Army of the Punjaub," and of which Lord Gough intended immediately to take the command in person. The intelligence, as regards the state of the Pun jaub generally, shows but too clearly that the whole of the lately acquired territory is virtually in a state of rebellion, and that the machinations of the various parties in arms against our authority are at present, and have been for some time past, directed on a com bined plan of operations, the results of which are likely yet to develope themselves to a greater extent, although happily the checks the Seikhs have received and our vigilance round Lahore have much marred their plans. A rumour which had been prevalent for some time, that Chatter Singh and' Sheer Singh' were playing a game ultimately to result in a com bined movement and attack on the capital, would ap pear by the latest advices to have been well founded, intelligence having reached Lahore that Chuttur Singh's forces were approaching in the vicinity of Wuzeerabad ; and we are told that Sir F. Currie considered the intelligence sufficiently authentic to induce him to call for reinforcements from Feroze pore, consisting of Colonel Godby's Brigade (of one European and two native regiments), with the Ferozepore brigade of five regiments of cavalry, with horse artillery, which had crossed the river in readiness for operations, and at the same time to recal, with similar instructions, Brigadier Eckford's brigade (of two Native regiments and two companies of artillery) then on the march to reinforce the camp of General Whish. At that time Shere Singh had advanced on the other side to Sirdarpore, some thirty miles from Moultan. The probability that a coup might be attempted on the capital from some direction by the Seikhs in arms appears to have been entertained throughout by the Resident at Lahore, whose chief object it has been to secure the safe occupation of that and the two other chief points of strength in the Punjaub, and it serves to explain the fact, which otherwise we should have to regret, that General Whish had not at once been supplied, as regards the northern line of frontier, with any considerable reinforcement. Our authorities in Western India, on their part, we are "„told, had determined for some time past that only a general and combined movement should be made by the troops of the Western Presidency, and the effective division then on the march might be expected at the seat of war coincidentally with the arrival of the main body under Lord Gough. There were advices that the head-quarters of the Bombay division had arrived at Sukkur. One detachment, with some. artillery, had already left Roree. The Rifle Brigade, under Brigadier Dundas, whose move ments upwards from Kurrachee had been so long spoken of, was in motion on the Indus, and, with the European regiments of the division, might be ex pected to reach Upper Sinde at the end of October. It was expected that Jacobs' Sinde Horse would cross the frontier immediately on the arrival of the first detachment from Roree above alluded to, and that they would proceed together to the camp of General Whish. The troops in General Whish's camp were on full rations. The Governor-General was expected to arrive at Allahabad in the first days of November. Lord Gough had left Simla, hastening forward to Feroze pore via Loodianah; add it was thought that the expeditious progress of the Commander-in-Chief would not admit of his having an interview with Lord Dalhousie, previous to placing himself at the head of the army. The following figures are an abstract of details which appeare t in the Telegraph of Bombay as a. statement of the numerical force, as near as can at present be computed, of the army of the Punjaub and the Bombay field force respectively : Bengal troops (European) 8,693 " (Native) 21,667 -- Bombay troops (Europe an ) 2 30,360,365 (Native) :5,652 8,017 Total (about v... 38,377 Colonel Outram was a passeng er by the present mail from Bombay, with the intention of passing two years' furlough in Egypt. This distinguished officer was not, we are happy to learn, compelled to this step from positive illness, but resorted to it with a view of recruiting his health by travelling, a step warrantable enough after his arduous services in India. (From the Bombay Times.) We gave in our last the orders for the formation of an l a r r o n a ly t ; e a Donee of 8,0 rai t l t is commanded mau o d o o men dhy G f e o u r e ral service by eo the Auchmuty, n and will be completed by the Ist, and ready for march by the 15th of November. If required at Moultan, they theirwou l would tproceed beingby the transportedline ofth e Indushy boats on B o n a h the aw river. u 1p ore They would in this case reach their destination early in December. Before this, however, it is expected Moul tan will have fallen, and in this case a part of these will probably for a time be employed in the Lower Pun jaub. The Supreme Government have directed an army of 30,000 men to be assembled on the Sutlej. This in cludes the force already before Moultan, at, Ferozepore, and on the frontier, but excludes that at Lahore, amounting to betwixt 8,000 and 10,000 men. The Commander-in-Chief will take the command. The in fantry divisions are to be commanded by Majors-General Whish, Gilbert, and Thackwell; the cavalry, by Briga dier General Cureton, and the Artillery by Brigadier- General Tennant. Of this force 7,000 are now before Moultan, and this will be raised to 10,000 when the re inforcements now under orders (excepting those from Bombay) have joined. At Ferozepore, it is said, some 20,000 will assemble, accompanied by nearly 100,000 camp-followers. The Moultan army continued up to the 20th quietly in their entrenched camp, four miles from the city, well protected by their guns. On the 9th Shere Singh, the insurgent whose desertion from our camp occasioned the raising of the siege on the 14th, quitted the city. Jealousies betwixt him and Moolraj are said to have been the cause of the secession. He is said to have reached Sirdarpore, 30 miles up the Chenaub, about the 12th, it being believed that it was his purpose to entrench himself and await an attack from us near Pind Dadun Khan. On the 14th a large reconnoitring party went out to examine a portion of the fortress; they returned without interference. On the 18th Brigadier Eckford received orders to proceed from Fero. zepore to Moultan with 2 native regiments, 3 companies of artillery, and details of corps already with General Whish. He marched on the 19th, but was on the 21st recalled, the advanced guards of Chuttur Singh's force having shown th emse l ves a t W uzeera b a d, about 70 miles from Lahore and :about 230 from Moultan. Troops were immediately ordered by Sir F. Currie to proceed against him, and Eckford's column was coun termanded. Our force, if good haste were made, would be up with him by the 30th, even if ho remained beyond the Chenaub; and if it be true that his son, Shere Singh, was at this date at Sirdarpore, 30 miles from the Moultan, ther e i s no great c h ance of a junction be i ng formed between them over an interval of 200 miles, with artillery to transport, in ten days' time, though they are asserted to be acting in concert.

At Peshawur the troops continue faithful, and the trumpery outbursting of robber chiefs, who, up and down over the country, were taking advantage of the troubled state of things, were rapidly being put down. The troops everywhere continued in excellent health and the best spirits. The Sesostris brings news of the 29th from Kurrachee, at which date everything continued tranquil. The Governor-Ueneral was expected at Allahabad about the 2d of November. A violent hurricane, in which one ship was lost, and five or six more damaged, swept the upper portion of the Bay of Bengal, and the lower country on the Ganges, between the 14th and 16th, and reached Bombay on the 19th, but cc;msioucd little damage. The Governor and Commander-in• Chief are at the Presidency, where we have at present a full council. The cold season is now setting in. A scarcity of food, iu consequence of deficiency of rain, is apprehended in Maim, and along our north-west frontier. 'I £ MOULTAN. Our latest dates from Moulton extend to the 20th of October, at which time matters stood much as formerly— with this important difference—that Shere Singh with his troops had left for the Hazareh country. Our former narrative extended to the Ist of October, at which date General Whish lay encampe cl four miles from Moultan, entrenched and well defended by artil lery, and in expectation that some attack would be made on them, or threatened, at the period of. the l)usserals— a week afterwards. Taking up the story of the siege where it broke off, we find that provisions and money were getting scarce at Moultan, and that ,the jealousies and mistrust, which had from the beginning existed be tween Shere Singh and Moolraj, were on the increase. About this time the insurgents contrived to obtain pos session of a boat load of stores, to the value' of 500/, to 7001., on its way down the Ravee and Chenaub from Lahore. They were the. property ?aof an Euro pean merchant, and were intended for the various messes in camp. Four companies of sappers and pioneers under the command of Captain Siddons, proceeded to Soojabad—one of the posts long held by Lieutenant Ed wardes—to prepare fascines and gabions for the coming siege, brushwood being abundant in the neighbourhood. The place is about twenty miles from camp, and was at one time intended as a depot for heavy ordnance stores. The town was at thii time reported to be nearly deserted of its inhabitants—shopkeepers, provision-dealers, and money-changers, almost alone remaining. The great festival of the Dusserah—the season of the former Seikh outrages—at length arrived, when an attack had been threatened, and Moolraj, who was said _,to: have vowed that he would bathe i n t h e h o l y tank of . Soorujkoond, as had been his wont from his youth upwards. The wa tering-place was close to our camp, and under the influ• once of religious feeling it was hoped the• troops would show themselves in the plain and give `us an opportunity of attacking them. Instead of this, the insurgents' went out in the opposite direction and burned no end of powder for the honour of the occasion, scarcely within hearing of our camp. Oomra Singh, one of the Seikhs recog nized as having attempted to corrupt our sepoys at Lahore in April, was at this time caught bathing ; he was captured and . sent into camp• where, being, .duly identified, heaves -dispatched -to -ILahore to be dealt with by the Durbar according to his deserts. He had originally belonged to the 42d Native Infantry, and having taken his dischar g e was selected for the service he undertook at the date just named from his familiarity with the habits of our sepoys. On the evening of the Bth Lieutenant Christopher, of the Indian Navy, died of wour ds received by him on the night of the 9th of Svptember, when so many gallant men went down. Colonel Pattoun, who fell on the occasion, de • sired more men immediately, and Lieutenant Christo pher, serving as a volunteer, undertook to guide two companies of her Majesty's 10th to the scene of action, the localities about being unknown to them. This duty performed, while he lingered near • the scene a matchlock ball shattered his ankle bone. Amputation was twice performed, but he died on the Bth of October, much regretted by all who knew him. One of our soldiers who had fallen into the hands of the enemy, and was believed to have been cruelly treated by him, is said on the contrary to have been provided with a house and servant, and to receive every attention from his captors. He is employed as interpreter, and trans lates the contents of the letters and newspapers in tercepted by the insurgents ; he is an Irish man, and is said to enjoy the joke immensely. Trea sure to the amount of 18,0001., sent from Lahore for the pay of the troops of Shere Singh before his treachery became known, about this time fell into the hands of the insurgents. On the 9th the Raja Shere Singh slipped away from the city, the two preceding days having been occupied in sending off detachments of his troops from the north and north-east side of the the town—that being the quarter furthest removed from the position of our army. His purpose appears to have been to proceed by forced marches to join his father, then hampered and shut in by Abbott and Nicolson. General Whish was anxious to have overtaken him bad he lingered on _the way, but his movements were too quick for us • and with no more than 900 cavalry at our disposal, and Moolraj ready to pounce on the pursuing party, had pursuit been given, it was resolved to leave him alone. His retirement, just as the time approached when his services were most needed, is a poor proof of the confidence of the friends of Dewan in the strength of his cause, and the best evidence we can have of how greatly exaggerated the extent and dangerousness of the conspiracy organized against us. His withdrawal seems to have been oeca stoned entirely by the jealousy and ill-feeling existing between himself and Moolraj. His first march took him 12 miles from the city; at the end of the second he halted at Sirdarpore, on the river, close by the place where her Majesty's 10th disembarked on their way down. His movements had been so regulated that he could cross the river so soon as he became aware that we were in motion to pursue him; and, with the country people ,around in his favour, such tidings would have reacheeflananivith the utmost celerity. As it was from these circumstances ap parent that it was all but impossible to overtake him—ts march of 20 or 30 miles in pursuit of him, with the cer tainty of being harrassed by the Moultanees in our rear, would have been as'unwise as futile. In addition to the quarrel with the Dewan, it is probable that this cunning chief might consider his chances of success better in the strong mountain country with his father, where a guerilla warfare might for some time be maintained, and from which there was a hope of escape in case of a reverse, than in a walled city around which an overwhelming army was preparing to assemble. The Seikh troops at Bunnoo having at this time murdered their officers, and taken their departure for the Hszareh country, the occasion was seized upon by the desponding as a proof of the perfect organization of the Seikh conspi racy, and the skill at once and boldness of their mea sures. Moolraj, it was said, would continue to maintain Moultan with a force of from 10,000 to 12,000, as long as it was possible, with a view of occupying about an equal number of troops in the siege; while Shere Singh, moving on Lahore with 5,000 or 6,000 more, would there be joined by all the Seikhs in the city, and Chutter Singh, with the Jamoo and Bunnoo deserters—in all about 16,000—pressing on the capital as speedily as pos sible while the British garrison was at its weakest. So far are these dismal anticipations from being borne out by facts, that there seems every reason to believe the Seikhs are satisfied of the desperateness of their condi tion. Gholab Singh has proclaimed his determination to do all in his power to put down rebellion; and there has been no disturbance or rising in their favour in any quarter of the country. The people everywhere and the Mahomeeedan troops are well affected ; and all we have to deal with, at the highest computation, is some 30,000 of the old army of Runjeet Singh, scattered about without concert or pur pose—without any common object or common feel ing save hatred of the order of things by which their power has become extinguished. On the 14th a strong detachment of tr oops —consisting of Ander son's Horse Artillery, two guns from M'Kenzie's troop, a wing each of her Majesty's 10th aid 32d Foot, the Bth and 49th Native Infantry, a squadr on o f t h e 7 t h an d th e whole of the 11th Irregular Horse with 40 pioneers— proceeded as escort to enable the chief engineer to take the bearings of a bastion on the north-west side of the fort, which he had not before had the means of examin- • in. The escort required to be made thus strong from the remoteness of the point to be examined. They left camp at three o'clock in the morning, and reached their destination without interruption, having made a detour of nearly nine miles. The duty on which they had pro ceededbeen performed, they retur ne d t o camp having in safety two hours before noon. On their way back Moolrals cavalry were seen hovering on their flanks ; our horse artillery and cavalry were ordered to charge, but the enemy were too nimble for them and escaped them. On the 18th the camp was surprised by the restoration of some prisoners formerly taken from us. They stated that the two Europeans in the fort had got leave to quit; but both were wounded, and one was un able, the other unwilling, to move. The troops were now directed to be restored to full rations—these having before been reduced in apprehension of scarcity. The weather had of late undergone a most agreeable change —the night having become so cool Ewd th a a rd t e c s lot c h am c p lot h h a e d s were in demand. Desertions to become not unfrequent -80 Rohil l as o ne _ day j o i ne d hi m, and shortly afterwards 500 Seikhs from Bunnoo, who had remained faithful when the rest had gone o ver t o the enemy. While in this state o f_ t comparative inac tivity the besiegers became aware of he vast prepara tions making for their succour. ThpeosSs_hibplree, n e Govern for B ment had asked for 5,000 troops from ombay to ren dezvous at Roree as speedily a s service beyond the frontier. It was expe cted the y would be able to move from the mustering place early in December. In stead of 5,000, 8,000 are now assembling. Th e army will be considered complete on the I st N ovemb er, and will be ready to march by the 15th. The pontoon train ac. companies them; the heavy guns are to be left behind, as a supply of these can be sent down more readily from Ferezepore. They will move on up p a t h he awriuvlaprorin oae,bthetis.r stores and baggage being conveyed If required, they will be able to reach Moultan by the first week of December; but it is likely that long before this the fortress will have fallen. Meanwhile the Su preme Government ordered a force to be assembled on the frontier immediately under' the Commander-in- Chief. The troops enumerated constitute in all a force of nearly 30,000 men, exclusive of the Bombay column now assembling at Roree, which will amount in all to little short of 8,000. This army includes the troops pre sently at Ferozepore and Moultan, but excludes those at Lahore, amounting to betwixt 8,000 and 10,000 men. The divisional commands have been ar ranged as follow :—Brigadier-General Tennant commands the Artillery; Brigadier Cheape , l'e the Engineers, and the greater p art of the offi cers oi cnmposing this department of the for ce a ppear e at pre sent to bo at Moultan ; Brigadie r- General C ureton coin mands the cavalry division; and Majors. General Whish, it o N move Thackwell, and Gilbert, the three inf antry divisions. ti direction is given in the genera l orde r as to e r ments of troops on Moultan from Ferezepore, and, so far as at present appears, the Bombay column m a y y e t prove the first reinforcement General Whish will receive. A strong reserve will probably occupy the line of the Sutlej, while detachments are employnd hutting down insurrection in Moultan and the Uazareli count7ry, and punishing the rebels. Our difficulty aft er the reduction of Moultan will be to find a body of insurgents to operate against. ' At present there are the Mooltanese, 12,000 or so under arms ; the troops under Chuttur Singh .and. y T ; DECEMBEP 4. 18i8. 1 Shore Singh, both together probably about 15,000 ; and the Bannoo mutineers, 5,000 or 6,ooo—say 33,000 in all. THE PUNJAUB. (From the Delhi Gazette, Oct. 25.) Definitive orders to march reached Brigadier Eckford on the 18th, and the brigade, or at least the greater part of it, proceeded on its way towards Mooltan, on Thurs day, the 19th inst., after an accountable delay of nearly three weeks • her Majesty' s 29 t h F oot did not march, it being consider( .d that four European regiments, two now there, and two coming - from Bombay, ought to be suffi cient for the siege of Moultan. The brigade, therefore, consists only at present of the 31st and 56th Regiments Native Infantry, accompanied by detachments from her Majesty's 10th and 32d Foot, amounting to: about 130 men. It is understood that the 29th Foot will be attached to another brigade, and that the native corps to be withdrawn from that will be sent after the Brigadier, in charge of the additional ordnance and stores for which carriage will hardly be completed before the 31st. These additional guns, 2 18-pounders, 2 24-pounders, and eight 8-inch mortars, will proceed in charge of Lieut. C. A. Weelwright, as officiating deputy commissary of ord nance, and be accompanied in all probability by the 70th Native Infantry, now belonging to the 4th brigade of the second division of the army of the Punjaub. Captain Kinleside's battery, instead of being sent with Brigadier Eckford, has been posted, with the remainder of the 69th, on the island in the Sutlej, between the two sections of the bridge, while Captain Dawes's (No. 17) light field battery has marched for Moultan, with three re serve companies already mentioned—via., the Ist, 2d, and 4th companies of the 4th battalion, with the head-quar ters. The following artillery officers are present with this battery and the companies :—Major Horsford, Captain Dawes, Lieutenants Holland, Dickson, Good ridge ; Surgeon Tritton, Lieutenants Ross, Simpson, W. F. Cox, Mayne, and Bosworth. An accession of 10 artillery officers, besides one to follow with the addi tional siege guns will be very welcome to General Whish. Brigadier Eckford also takes with him two companies of pioneers out of four that reached Fercze pore on the 'naming of the 19th. Brigadier General CuretOn had at first taken up a position at Khoonda Gat, but subsequently crossed the Sutlej, and encamped in . the 71:teighbonrlioad — of her Majesty's 3d Dra goons. All our correspondents dwell on _ the ex. treme confusion that prevails at Ferozepore in conse quence of the previous want of preparation ; carriage, bearers, grass, and food are all become equally scarce. The Government contemplated—indeed ordered—the assembly of an army under any circumstances, so far back as June, and the gradual collection of grain, when it might have been purchased at any place within 100 miles of Ferozepore at from 40 to 45 seers, and of the requisite amount of cattle, though it might have seemed expensive, would have been extremely advantageous to Government. Under the most favour able circumstances as to prices it is reasonable to suppose that Government would have gained something by the laying in of a stock, as the assembling of an army with its multitudinous camp followers must at all times greatly enhance the price of food, but when, as has now been the case, natural causes have arisen to increase that price three and fourfold, it may easily be imagined what the difference to Government will be. Let us make a rough calculation, and show what has been in all probability actually lost by the want of foresight. The number of men to be assembled at Ferozepore amounts more or less to 20,000 men; their camp followers will exceed 100,000, but we will take them at that figure. The army will probably remain embodied at or near Ferozepore for three months at least—the supplies will have to be de rived from thence and its neighbourhood. The quantity of grain required to feed the number of men indicated will be 3,000 maunds daily, or 90,000 maunds for three months. At 30 seers per rupee, for which or even less the grain might have been purchased on an average three months ago, the cost would have been 1,20,000 ; now it will be nearer four lacs. This item may be taken as sample; bhoosa, grass, and gram, or such other food as may be provided for horses, will be all equally dear, and entail a proportionate loss on the Govern ment. Her Majesty's 3d Light Dragoons left their encampment at Khoonda Ghat on the morning of the 20th instant, crossing the Sutlej to a new camp about three miles from the right bank of the river, making the force on the other side one dragoon regiment, two of light cavalry (sth and Bth), two troops.of horse artillery (Lane's and Warner's), and the 12th Irregular Cavalry, and an advance movement was to be made towards Kussoor as soon as the whole force at Ferozepore may be in sufficient strength to keep up the commu nication. Some fatality would certainly seem to bang over Col. Eckford's brigade. At a late hour last night we re ceived intimation that in consequence of the near ap proach of Chuttur Singh, whose advance guard has according to anthentic information, arrived close to Wuzeerabad,.Sir Frederick Currie had deemed it ex pedient to call for reinforcements from Ferozepore, and had communicated his wishes by au extraordinary ex press that reached Ferozepore on the morning of the 21st instant. It was believed there that the whole of the cavalry and horse artillery across the river would push on at once, and known that Colonel Godby's bri gade, consisting of the 2d Europeans and the 56th and 70th Regiments of Native Infantry, were immediately under orders to cross (they were to march from Feroze pore on Monday morning), while a messenger was sent off to Mundote to recall Brigadier Eckford. Fortunately her Majesty's 9th Lancers, and the whole of the Meerut Horse Artillery, with a light field battery reached the station on the morning of the 21st, so that the place of the troops supposed to have been moved forward could be immediately supplied. [PRICE SD. would like to see Cortlandt obtain his flare of praise also, informal though it may be. Be it known that Edwardes's " Seikh troops" muster twenty (20) strong and they are so well watch, d that the slightest disaffection would be their ruin; one, I believe, a jarnadar of 2 guns; but surrounded as they are by Daodpootras, Affghans, and Poorkeas, they cannot be otherwise than faithful.' " The accounts of the movements and counter move inents detailed in our issue of yesterday have been con firmed ; but the emergency is not so great as it may 11:4ve appeared, as the troops have received directions to make six marches to Lahore. We have received other items of interest, but they will keep till Saturday."

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CALCUTTA. — Opium.—The twelfth and last opium sale of the season took place on the 16th October, when the result was as follows-- Chests. highest. Lowest. Average. Proceeds: Behar ....., 1,806 875 850 _8r4. 7 13,-0 „.11,28,140 eenarei ;.. 447 Vt 7 * B2O 82042-6 3,66,890 This shows a decline from the preceding sale of 85-11-10 rs per chest on the average of Patna, and of 44- 2-9 rs on that of Benares. Exports--Sincc the resumption of business after the holi• days we have had no great display of activity, except in the demand for rice before the arrival of the express. The busi ness done has been on a moderate scale, and prices we can hardly say have yet settled down. In our import market bu siness has been done to a very limited extent. Money Market—The value of Government securities is pretty well maintained, notwithstanding the anxiety for in telligence from the seat of war, and the preparations making for a campaign. There is a tendency, however, to a slight decline. The value of Bank Shares remains nearly the same, perhaps with a shade of improvement for Bank of Bengal and Agra Shares. Shares of other joint stock banks are ne glected, and there is little or no disposition towards specula tion manifested. Exchange—Little change has taken place in the rates o exchange, which have been well maintained for first-class bills anii other documents. We MaYlUZls.jidiie;r4ee for six months sight bills with documents. We have heard of transactions at is 9id to Is Mid per rupee. Little has been done. Treasury bills remain in good demand at format quotations. Freights—The speculative demand for rice induced by the intelligence of the second mail of August regarding the doubtful prospects of the harvest in England and failure of potato crop caused the rates of homeward freightage to run up, and latterly so high did the speculative spirit run among natives that rates advanced to 6165. But the intelligence received by the last express has had the effect of causing a suspension in the eager demand for rice, which has led to a decline in the rates of freight. During the week we have bad several arrivals, and consequently a considerable acces sion in the amount of available tonnage. Rates show a dis position to fluctuate, but generally with a downward tendency. Imports—This branch of trade generally takes a much longer time to recover from the torpor of the long Doorga Poorjah festivities than any other, being so much dependent upon the natives, who not unfrequently proceed to distances which do not allow of their being in town in time for the re opening of business. We can hardly expect much busiress during the first week, and must allow more time for dealers to settle down, A moderate extent of business has been done in shirtings, both grey and white, the former at Rs. 4-9 to 6-4 per piece; the latter 5-6-6 to 6-4. Jaconets have been placed, white at 26 to 3-8 per piece. Greys have been in more limited demand. In other goods a moderate business has also been done. White Cotton Mule Twist—A fair business has been done in these yarns, and appearances look favourable. Coloured Yarns—These also promise to come into better demand. 18 bales German Red Twist were placed at 0-5-7% per lb. Woollens—No change. Printed and Coloured Goods—A small business. Metals—Prices seem pretty firmly maintained, and there is little disposition shown by holders to force sales. The business done has consequently been trifling. The following have been reported : 3,300 mds flat bar, and bolt iron at 2-4 rs per md; 1,300 and sheet iron at 5-8 rs per md; 456 boxes tin plates at 16-4 rs per box ; 20 boxes quicksilver at 4-10-6 rs per box; 1,500 mds speller at 8 rs per md. Salt—The following is reported : 9,000 mds Judda at 39 Co.'s rs per 100 mds cash ; 18,000 ditto at 55 8 per 100 mds. Beer—The market remains without change, and we con tinue to quote 55 rs pe r bhd f or B ass and Allsop ; other brands are in the back ground. BOMBAY, Nov. 1. The interval that has elapsed since the date of our last repert having been chiefly occupied by sihe natives in closing their accounts for the past year, and the consequent holiday s , littl e b us i ness was transacted during the greater portion of the time. The holidays were brought to a conclusion two days ago, and the business has been re sumed with an activity that bids fair to continue. In our Money market we have no change to notice. Cotton Piece Goods-40 inch grey shirtings of all qualities Are ready of sale at previous rates, while 45 inch widths, with *e exception of low qualities, on the contrary, are in slack inquiry. Bleached shirtings continue scarce, and in good de mand. Grey Madapollams are in steady demand, as are Ago bleached. Grey and bleached jacconets continue in very good inquiry. Grey domestics, 24 yards, of light makes, and T cloths, are in good demand, but the heavy kinds are still in limited inquiry. ' Dyed and Fancy Goods—Turkey red plain cloth continues in request, but twilled cloth is dull. Turkey red prints are scarce, and much wanted. Light Scotch fabrics generally are without any change since our last. Cotton Yarn—This staple is steady, and there is an in , creased inquiry for Nos. 40 and 50 mule twist, stocks of which are becoming small. Dyed Yarn—Turkey red dull, and the only sale reported i 4 25 bales, 2001bs each, at 1-4-6 rs per lb. Orange has ex perienced a slight decline. A sale of 35 bales, 3001bs each, No. 20 to 40, is reported, at annas 10 3 / 4 per lb ; and 75 bales, 4001bs each, No. 40, at annas 12. i Cochineal—Sales to the extent of 5,400 lbs, at 2-13-6 rs per lb, and we quote this as the price of the day, but an ad vance is looked for ere long. Saffron—Dull of sale. Metals—lron--Swedish bar continues scarce, and in good lemand. British bar is in better inquiry, and has an up ward tendency, while stocks are moderate. Nail rod is dhll of sale, and in other kinds we have no change to no tice. Copper continues in steady demand. Pig lead is scarce, and wanted. Sheet lead is in steady inquiry, as also tin plates. Spirits—In brandy nothing has been done since oar last. 375 kilders Geneva, each 15 square bottles are reported at 164 rs, and 100 kilders at 17 rs. Beer—Both Allsop's and Bass's continue to move off in small quantities, at 70 rs per hhd. Exports—Cotton—The market has been dull since the date of our last report, and prices have declined in conse quence of supplies coming forward from the interior, added to the unfavourable accounts from England. The transac tions, which have been few, are as follows:-1,500 8 11or s c s —lp,esr c andy; 00 bia ch 3 0 , at o 81.8 rs percandy; 300 bales ditto, at bales Dollerah, 84 rs per candy; 50 bales ditto, 84 rs per candy; 200 bales ditto, 83.8 rs per candy; 100 bales ditto, 82.8 rs per candy; 250 bales Mangalore, 71.4 rs per candy. Opium—This drug is very dull. Nothing whatever is doing, as holders continue firm. The quotation is nominally 1,200 rs. per chest for best quality. Freights—We have no change to notice in the rate of fr4ight since our last, the quotations for Liverpool being still 21t.10s per ton, at which rates engagements have been en tered into. To China the rate advanced again to 14 rs. par candy, but has since receded to 10 1 / 2 rs ., w hi ch is the rate of g g a es i n — b T r h on e g C h t h i a n a l i m m i a t i e l d , a w n h p i p c l h y o a f r r b i i v i s d , a a n f d e w i n days a t h g x d h a c a y hs . a an con sequence the rate remains with little change.

The weekly communi cation having now closed for this season, the steamers will be dispatched from Liverpool fortnightly during the winter months. They will, however, leave America Weekly till the end of this month. The America, Cap tain Leitch, with the inward mails, which would leave New York on the 22d ult., and Halifax on the 25th, may be expected to arrive at Liverpool this day (Monday). SUICIDE.—On Friday an inquest was held at the Crown, Church-street, Lambeth, before Mr. W. Carter, on the body of Sarah Hubbard, aged 58, for twenty-five wears cook and housekeeper to James Pulman, Esq., deputy usher of the black rod at the Hou se o f L ords. Henry Prizeman, a lighterman's boy, said that on Tues day morning last, at about three o'clock, he was.passing along Bishop's-walk, when he heard a faint cry cd "Help!" and on looking into the river saw the deceased struggling to save herself. He immediately raised an alarm, and the woman was got out of the water, but by that time she was quite dead. He thought she must have got into the water over the railings of the walk. William Asque, footman in the service of Mr. Putman, said the deceased had been in the service of that gentle man, in the capacity of cook and housekeeper, for the last twenty-five years. Great confidence was placed is her, and she had the whole control of the establishment, paying the tradesmen's accounts, and superintending all domestic affairs. She left the house on Monday last, and in about an hour a paper with the following writing was found on the table:—" I shall not be back alive. Look in my box." Her box was then searched, and it was found, from some papers, that she had misappro priated money entrusted to her to pay the tradesmen's bills. She had lately drank rather freely, and witness had considered her for some time past insane. —Verdict, " Temporary insanity." The latest report from the Havre cotton-market is that the demand having nearly altogether ceased, it e e r, s now in a languid position. In otherßaw u s ar g ti ar des wa o s f produce little business was transacting. ing, but no great advance could at present be 4044eed. SINDE. Intelligence has reached us from Kurrachee to the 26th October. General Auchmuty, it appears, had left for Roree, taking with him a company of the 4th Riflt s as a guard. Another detachment had proceeded in charge of the treasure dispatched from Bombay for the u.e of the field force ; and carriage having at length been obtained, the rest of the regiment started on the morning of the 26th for the place of rendezvous. All was bustle and activity at Kurrachee. A number of native vessels had arrived from Bombay, damaged by the boisterous weather they had met with on the pas• sage. The Assyria had gone to the assistance of the Planet, which vessel was lying disabled at the mouth of the river—her engines having broken down. Subjoined is a letter containing the latest news from Upper Sinde. The writer, it will be seen, announces the intended departure of the Commissioner from Kur rachee about the beginning of the present month : " Upper Sinde, Oct. 19, 1849. " The 3d Regiment Native Infantry, with the Camel Baggage Corps, who were encamped at Roree for the last fortnight, left on the 15th. Captain Turnbull's battery started the same evening. The Sinde Horse will await the arrival of the 3d Regiment Native Infantry and Ar tillery at Subzolkote, from whence they will proceed to gether to Moultan. " It has been determined not to send the heavy guns from Fortßukkur, but all the mortars, with the pontoons, together with the Sappers and Miners, proceed up by boats, in charge of Lieutenant Walker, Engineers. Cap tain Hill leaves for Moultan by land. Colonel Dundas, with his staff, are expected itere about the end of the month. The European regiments will be here about the same time. " The head-quarters of the Upper Sinde division have arrived at Sukkur. " The whole of the camels procurable in Upper Sinde are being engaged for the transport of the troops, but I fear good camels of the required number will not be pro curable, as the long peace in Upper Sinde has induced owners to take their camels away to Jessulmere and the hills. " Fever has been prevalent all over the districts for the last month; the last week it was particularly severe. " The ryots have this season reaped a rich harvest, the annual visitation of locusts not having occurred, which has given such encouragement to the cultivators that they are now hard at work preparing for the autumn crops. "It is estimated that the British forces of all arms, that will be concentrated at Moultan by the middle of next month, will be about 60,000. This beats Lord Ellenborough's grand army, assembled on the Feroze pore plain, which was only 40,000. " The commissioner and suite leave Kurraehee for the upper provinces about the beginning of next month, when some changes are expected in the civil branch of the service." POSTSCRIPT. ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE GENERAL WIIISH AT MOULTAN. The following is from a Delhi Gazelle extra, received by post this morning. There is no other additional news of importance:— " We are in receipt of the following letter from Moul ton this morning:— " Camp Moultan, Oct. 21., 1848. " ' I write to tell you that an attempt was made this morning to shoot General Whish, as he was taking his morning ride, in front of our picquets, with some of his staff, and the usual small escort of irregular cavalry. Fortunately for hint snd our fame, the bullet whizzed harmlessly over without touching any one. The ma rauders were five in number, two of whom were captured by the gallantry of the duffadar, who received a severe sword cut in the thigh. One of the prisoners will pro pahly die of his wounds, which are plentiful.' He was carried into our camp on a charpoy, amongst the execra tions of the Europeans; his comrade is untouched, and the worst treatment he will probably receive will amount to two annas per diem, and a speedy release! I hear that grain is dearer in Moultan by one seer, a fact th a t would seem to be proved by t he daring attempts at marauding, resulting no doubt, from the scarcity of sub sistence. The head of a camp follower even would fur nish the means of obtaining food for a time, for certain it is that decapitation is very prevalent! I h ear d th i s morning that some camels wer e carried off from our left front, but am not certain of the number. Captain Mac gregor, of her Majesty's 10th, who was so severely wounded in the hand, has . left oa medi ca l cert i f i cate for Ferozepore, in company of a detachment of the Bth Na tile Infantry, commanded by Captain P i k e , Mr Blan shard, a traveller and amateur, is of the party. The convoy, of not 4ss than 150 hack er i es, through a sandy country will not be a very delightful duty. Yo ur over land express reached us this morning, and create d muc h pleasurable surpri se at Edwardes's good fortune' But I AItNY OF THE PIINIAUS.
