L 0 V E is the leading feeling of the human breast. More exalted than mere passion, it soars high above every other impulse of nature, and is not only stronger th an 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 'ervour, this golden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly poison in the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright ened, all things upon earth. How is it that men, of most un changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a life time spent in the fulfllmeni, of every engagement, snap the very con tract' asunder which should be most binding to an honourable mind? ft is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early habits, or the results of secret disease, knows himself to be disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been instituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment important ends. The wretched condition of such a being must subsequently be heyend measure deplorable 1 Loving and beloved, he en t a il s the most miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, an d upon himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple poss ess i on of natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both a life of unalloyed happiness. The subject is interesting, and deserves the attention of all. Those desirous of investigating it w ill find the fullest and most satisfactory information in the little work entitled SELF-PRESERVATION. illustrated by forty coloured engravings on the anatomy, physiology, and diseases of the reproductive organs; with practical observa ions on the secret infirmities of youth and maturity, resulting from solitary habits, excesses, or infection. By SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, This treatise is the result of a long course of study in a peculiar and much neglected branch of medical practice, and the author having ob tained the highest medical honours, is a guarantee for his profes sional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treat ment of those diseases. INCORPORATED PURSUANT TO AOT OF PARLIAMENT At the pres nt day, when Railway travelling has become almost universal, protecticn against the pecuniary loss to which the families of sufferers from the accidents incidental to it are exposed, is one of the requirements of the age. To meet this general feeling, this Society affords to all persons, of whatever class, travelling by Railway in Great Britain and Ireland, the opportunity of insuring against loss of life by accident whilst so travelling, at the moderate premium of 108. per cent., is one single payment, for the whole period of life, thereby rendering unnecessary the payment of Annual Premiums, as in ordinary Life Assurance.

PAINTING WITHOUT SMELL ; a fact ac complished by the use of the newly discovered SWEET OIL of TURPENTINE, instead of the deadly abomination called i oil or spirits of turpentine. Paint mixed with it is free from smell, is m• proved in brilliancy of colour, and the baneful properties of the lead being neutralized, does not emit those noxious exhalations which have hitherto been so universally associated with painting. By this really valuable discovery house painting is now converted into a sa nitary operation, that may be effected at any seaFon of the year, being productive of health and comfort, without causing the slightest derangement to the domestic economy.

REVIEW OF THE WORE, La'Mert on the Infirmities of Youth and Maturity.—" There are scenes in the drama of life which are acted with no spectator but Conscience ; and of these the result is ever disastrous. Happy the mortal who meets with a timely mentor to snatch him from the gulf into which such scenes must plunge him 1 In the book before as such a monitor is to be found, calculated to warn and instruct the erring, without impairing one idea that can vitiate a mind not al ready tutored by the vices of which it treats. It is written in a style of masterly precision and lucidity, blending the profoundest truths of philosophy and physics with the loftiest precepts of morality. It is a production calculated to confer a vital benefit, physically and morally, upon all who are tempted from the rigid path of abstemiousness and propriety. A father may trust it in the hands of his boy. By un taught innocence the book is not, of course, needed ; but wherever laxity has prevailed, the tender yet awful voice breathing in these pages is likely to prove as strikingly beneficial as the admonitions of a homily blended with the practical advice of a writer on medicine." —4fnited Kingdom Magazine.

A corre spondent states that last Friday night between eleven and twelve o'clock, as a mu and his wife, venders of salt, were on their way home, through Banbury Forest-lane, the poor woman was taken in labour. There was no shelter near, the night was very inclement, rain falling in torrents, and in these circumstances there was no other course left to the man than to lay his suffering wife by the road side, and to proceed two miles to Feeken ham for surgical aid, Accordingly he hastened:there, and returned, accompanied by Mr. Harrison, surgeon, of that place, by whose assistance the poor woman was safely delivered about one o'clock. To add to the inde scribable misery of the occurrence, the wretched mother had not a rag of clothing for her babe —thus born in the damp grass, with a tempestuous wintry sky for its only covering. It was between nine and ten o'clock next morning before any nourishment was procured for the poor woman ; and, strange to say, no effort to remove her seems to have been made. A farmer in the neigh bourhood sent some straw for her to lie upon, and there she remained till a brook rising, four days afterwards, threatened to wash this miserable bed from under her ! Our informant states that this was the poor creature's first child, and that she had once seen better days. After paying for the medical assistance, the unfortunate couple were left with sixpence, their sole pecuniary resource. Worcester Herald. [ADVERTISEMENT.j—It is not possible adequately to speak of the wonderful efficacy of the celebated Ve getable Restorative Pills, prepared by John Kaye, Esq., of Dalton-hall, near Huddersfield. The testimonies which pour in from all parts of the United Kingdom, prove that astonishing cures result from their use. Mr. Adams, of Cheddeston, near Bungay, writes that he suffered for seven years from indigestion, which brought on extreme debility, but that the use of the Pills has wrought a com plete cure. Mr. Peter Tivier, of 6, Stephen -street Li verpool, says, " I have been cured by one bo x o f K aye ' s Worsdell's Pills of rheumatism and eruptions of the skin." Robert Woaster, of High Wycombe, bears testi mony that for ten years he was afflicted with scrofula in his leg and knee, and that for five-and-twent y weeks he kept his bed; by perseverance, however, in the use of this wonderful medicine, he is now quite well, and works for fourteen hours a day. Sold in boxes at 19. lid.; 2s. 9d.; or 4s. 6d. each, by all Medicine Venders. To prevent imposition by spurious imitators, observe that Mr. Kayo's coat of arms and a fac-simile of his signature are printed on the directions wrapped round each box. TEMPERANCE SOCIETY. A meeting, under the patronage of the National Temperance Society, was held last evening at Exeter-hall. Mr. Cassell having been called to the chair, addressed himself to the sta tistical part of the question, showing that much might be saved in the way of police-rates and poor- rates, by the adoption of the temperance principles— principles which, he contended, would do more to elevate the people morally, socially, and even politically—iudging from the impetus given to drunkenness at contested elections—than any amount of political agit at i on. Mr. Inwards proved to the evident satisfaction of the meet ing, which he addressed in a humourous strain, that teetotalism was faultless in principle and operation, and that its disciples were fatter, bet er, and healthier men than were or could be the votaries of Bacchus. Messrs Hudson, Whittaker, and Smith also dilated on the ad vantages of temperance, and the many evils that flowed to individuals and society generally from the use of intoxi cating beverages, and thanks having been voted to the chair the meeting separated. We hear that a letter has been received from Mr. W. P. Grant, stating that he has laid his ease b efore Sir F. fipinipit is that. the Chief Jui,tice', deci4ion cannot be upheld, and that Mr. Grant must be restored to his appointment.—Calcutta Englishman, October 25. , ,7 DECEAIBER 19, 1846. 9_ OVERLAND MATE INDIA, CHINA, AND EGYPT. We have received from Marseilles our advices and papers from India, in anticipation of the Overland Mail of the 16th of November. The dates thus re ceived are, from Calcutta the 7th, Madras the Bth, and Bombay the 16th of November. As we had anticipated from the intelligence by the previous mail, we are not yet in possession of any advices of a decided character from the disturbed Indian frontier. The news merely details the move ments of different bodies to form the army of the Punjaub. From what we learn, there appears, perhaps, room to regret a want of promptitude and decision in the movements of our forces, arising probably from unforeseen circumstances ; but, on the other hand, the fact of the continuance of the status quo affords, as regards the position of the rebels, matter for much congratulation, since the dila toriness and mis-arrangement evident on their part —a feature evinced as remarkably as the hardihood of their designs, renders the probability of the ulti mately easy suppression of the outbreak now more than ever matter of certainty. Moolraj, it would appear, was in a less favourable position, as regards men and supplies, than he had been for some time past ; Chuttur Singh had not effected a junction with either of his sons, although the troops of Shere and Chuttur were probably not far apart between the Ravee and Chenab, and might co-operate. Pater, the other son of Chuttur, was said to be at Jalapoor, on the Jhelum, with 1,500 men. Lord Gough is said to have determined not to undertake any minor ope rations, or make any movement against detached parties, but was willing rather to permit immunity to the rebels until the plans of Government could be carried out and a considerable force take the field. Lord Gough is said to be displeased with General Whish for not having attacked Shere Singh when he broke ground from Moultan. At any rate, we observe that his Lordship has ante dated a brevet commission for General Auchmuty, commanding the field force in Sinde, and in conse quence of which that officer will supersede General Whish when the Bombay force crosses the frontier. " General Auchmuty (says a correspondent) has shown great energy on parade since his arrival in Bombay, but previously he was for about a quarter of a century out of service at home." There seems every probability that the army of operations will suffer great inconvenience in the commissariat de partment during the coming campaign or settlement of the country ; the arrangements for carriage, also, are said to be on all hands defective; and we are told that even the Commander-in-Chief was delayed for some days for want of tent-pitchers. The pontoon across the Ravee, although within sight of Lahore, had been a tt ac k e d an d fi red on several occasions by detached parties of the Seikhs. Since then it had been strongly occupied, so as to leave no ground of alarm respecting this entre-port to the field of operations. General Cureton had since crossed some eight miles in advance of the right bank of the Ravee, nith a strong brigade of cavalry and artillery, consisting of her Majesty's 3d Dragoons, the sth and Bth Light Cavalry, two troops of Euro pean Horse Artillery, and one Native Artillery troop, with the 2d European Regiment, the 70th Native Infan try, and a regiment of Irregular Cavalry, so that this brigade may be regarded as the advanced line of our army. The Delhi Gazette affirms, in its latest advices, that a general advance of the regiments which were across the Ravee had been ordered, but we are not inclined at present to accept this statement, from what we gather of Lord Gough's plan of operations already al- . luded to. It does not seem probable that any move ment of so decided a character to the front of the enemy would at that moment be made. A large portion, however, of Chuttur Si ng h' s f orce s till occu pied Wuzeerabad, a point which that chief and his sons seems to have fixed upon as their centre, and probably our advance would be pushed forward in proportion as fresh troops crossed the Satlej from Fe rozepore, which they were doing daily. At the same time it is probable measures would be taken to pre vent, if possible, the junction of Share Singh with Chuttur Singh. Two forts of considerable strength in the Punjaub, Dloraree and Rungel Nungel, had been razed by our troops—a mode of operation which, from all that has passed, our authorities will, no doubt, shortly carry out in a wholesale manner. We must next notice in detail the position of affairs at Moultan, till lately, but no longer, the centre of insurrection. We may observe here that the recent division of the enemy's forces appears to have been dictated at least as much by the rivalry and distrust of each other, natural in the Seikh character, as by any policy of separate and wide-spread attack. Chuttur and the Dewan are now said to be bidding against each other for the levy of insurgents, and the Dewan, it is said, has had the worst of the speculation. We are told that it is mostly by the defection of troops from Moultan that Chuttur Singh has increased his forces. One of our correspondents observes on this head— " This. is the most favourable issue that could have happened for ourselves, for of the present moving characters in the Punjaub none certainly can be com pared to the first insurgent for daring and patience, or as a head to calculate and to design, and his name alone is the tower of strength of the rebels." Despite the late disadvantages in his position, the Dewan, by these advices, shows a front bolder than ever. The few stores that have reached General Whish's camp have been in great danger from his cavalry, who, we are told, are continually hover ing on the flanks of our position, ready for any species of annoyance. The Dewan, too, has lately been successful in the manufacture of rockets, at least as regards their number and range, although the explosion cannot be rightly timed, so as to alight in the camp. He also opened masked and sunk bat teries to play upon the camp, and in several instances is said to have nearly accomplished his design. All the courage and resolution that confidence and hardi hood can inspire he appeared to have afforded to his troops. General Whish, however, and his gallant assistants, Edwardes and Cortlandt, still make the game a losing one for the Dewan. They more than hold their own. Heavy cannonades, and the fire of shrapnel and congreves, especially from Edwardes and Cortlandt's camp, are frequently kept up on the enemy's position for many hours, and excepting the rockets, which it is said are not much better than the Devran's, our projectiles are described to have mostly told with good effect. We regret to learn that Ed wardes is likely to be detached from the force before Moultan to his old position of observation in Bannoo. We regret this because it seems hardly fair that this; gallant soldier should be absent when the reduction of the fortress takes place. We could gladly have spared also the vague piece of intelligence that Maharaja Ghoolab Singh bad marched a body of his troops against Chuttur Singh. But many think him so very great a villain that he may be trusted against his friends. There remains now only to notice the progress of the Sinde field force. Her Majesty's 60th Rifles had already reached Roree, the point fixed for as sembly, as also a wing of the Company's Fusiliers. It was expected that the Sinde force would be united at Roree about the first week of December, and would reach Moultan some three weeks later. The Bombay Government, we learn, still maintained the determination on its part we had previously an nounced not to move that body to the scene of opera tions otherwise than in force. On this subject we farther learn that General Whish, whose conduct lately has been marked by so much caution, had, since the middle of September, continued urgent calls for reinforcements to the extent of two European regiments and one of the Ferozepore cavalry, and especially from Sinde, which he maintained to be open for the march of detachments; sad farther, that it was because these troops were not accorded either from Ferozepore or Sinde that he did not under cir cumstances consider it safe to hazard more active operations. This statement at least places the recent conduct of General Whish in a point of view which cannot but be appreciated. GENERAL SUMMARY. (From the Overland Calcutta Star of Nov. 7.) The Punjaub, as usual, continues the principal object of attention, though no events of remarkable interest have occurred since our last. Slowly, but surely, a mighty cordon of British troops environs the frontier, and the spasmodic efforts of the icsurgent sirdars show their sense of the inevitable fate the insurrection must meet. A spirit here and a spirit there is all that reality exhibits in derision of the phantasm which wrought so much terror in imaginative minds. No semblance of co-operation exists: The powerful sirdars keep aloof from each other, and the potty ones raise each his - standard in his fortlet, more like chase scenes of feudal history when every leafier of armed men did that which vv: , s right in his own eyo becanso of the weakness of the central authority. Nowhere do we see that organized resistance which is made the theme of inuendo to justify the plea of profound conspiracy, and thence the measure of final annexation, ,UPRl(M'iovsb. Shore Singh and Moolraj halo , parted. Why, we are' dis trust entertai ned of the former by the latter prevented either ff Singh not finding himself get on quite ao fast as he had honed in the plenitude of his conceit, his expectations of not fr perf ectly orous action. At the same time Chuttur ys because the ilformed . ;" report a defection of the Peshawar force disappointed, and his movements vigilantly watched by Captain Abbott and his Mahomodan levies, saw his only resource lay in a concentration of his troop?. His summons to Shere Singh to join him was after some delay respnded to. Shere Singh issued a proclamation at Moulton, inviting all true Seikhs to leave that city and join his standard to tight in a more worthy spot, indicating the neigh bourhood. of Lahore. This appeal was, accordiog to rumour, tolerably successful. Moolrals larder appeared to be consumptive, the prices of provision were rising daily, and there was no chance of that pleasant amuse ment of sack and. pillage, in which the true Seikh takes reasonable delight. Horse and foot in consequence went with Shere Singh and after him; and others were only kept behind with the now diminished force of Moolraj from the knowledge that their families were in his power and could net be extricated. Moolraj, since , this exode of Shere Singh, has kept close to his entrenchments' and our r econno i tr i ng par ties skir over th e scenes of the recent conflict without meeting an antagonist. The brigade under General Whish, in the highest spirits, are looking , out for their reinforcements via Sinde (which will have joined them ere this) to recommence hostile operations against the city. Shire Singh on quitting Moultan " slipped by" General Whish, and took the north-eastern road, so as to secure a junction with his father in the Doab between the Jhelum and - Chenab. He had endeavoured to cross the river on the direct route, but having only four small boats, his"passage was successfully disputed by.the Kar der: of Jhung. He then moved on to Tolunda, where it id believed he crossed. Since then his movements are not accurately traceable, but he is believed to be some where in the Doab we have mentioned, his forces strag gling greatly. The latter is the only conclusion we can come to, if there be, truth in a tithe of the rumours as to his and his father's present position; the alternative being the serious one of übiquity. Attempts have been made to burn the bridge of boats across the Ravee near Lahore; these have of course been attri buted to Shere Singh's division, though we apprehend the incendiaries are no other than the traitor soldiery of the durbar, under whose guardianship the bridge was placed. The moment British sepoys shared the duties of watch and ward the daring foe has become invisible. The fact is that the evident alarm manifested by the La hore authorities for their personal safety stimulates the Seikhs to overt acts, evincing their belief in the total absence of anything like spirit at the capital. Indeed, the only rumours from whose bushel of chaff one cannot extract even the grain of wheat, are those spread by Lahore correspondents of the papers.. It is said that the Seikhs are desirous of rescuing a second son of Chuttur Singh, Gboolab Singh, who having ven tured to Lahore on the delicate and bold mission of car rying off the young king, was caged forthivith by the Resident. For this purpose numberless small parties , are reported about Lahore, and hence the &aim excited by their descents. A girder of the name of Urjun Singh had taken possession of a fort, the title of whioh we pro fess not to be master of, seeing that some fifty versions of it have been propounded by our contemporaries. This fort, he proceeded to strengthen, and being sum moned by Lieutenant Hodgson to account for his proceedings, he valorously disowned the right of that officer to question them. The assistance of Brigadier Wheeler and the Jullundur field force was thereupon requested and afforded. A single day's shelling was enough for the Sirdar, and next morning when the cannonade was about to re-open, it was discovered that the place had been evacuated at night. It was conse quently entered by Lieutenaut Hodgson, who took pos session in the name of the Maharaja ; and then com menced the work of demolition—since thoroughly effected.. A larger fort called Moraree, distant about thirty miles nearly west, was next the object of Brigadier Wheeler's operations. It is far stronger, and when the castellan showed symptoms of wavering in his alle giance, a body of Durbar troops were dispatched to over awe him. As a matter of course, this body deserted and fraternized with the garrison. The Brigadier wisely obtained some siege artillery to mske sure work in this quarter, and having also received a reinforcement of na tive infantry, broke ground on the 23d ult. His force is now fully equal to the task before him, and we may expect hourly to hear that Moraree has shared the fate of its neighbour fortlet. It is to be hoped, the garrison will not get off with such ease as the other did, the de serting regiments deserve some chastisement for their example and it ought to be soundly administered. Chuttur Singh was, at the time our latest news left, at Jhumsabad, a few miles east of Attock and at no great distance from the Indus. Th e Attock is defended by Lieut. Herbert Lieut. Nicholson is at Ramnagur. But Chuttur Singh's force spreads over the country—and portions even approach Wuzeerabad. His great object is to come at the Peshawur division, but as yet he has been baffled. At present he is on the look out for means to cross over the Indus to the right bank, but at this season neither boats nor fords are said to be available. One of his sons, Adpar Singh, once nominal governor of Peshawur betore General Ghoolab Singh and Major Lawrence went thither, is at Jellulpore with some 1,500 men. It is also said that Shere Singh's furtherest advanced detachments are at Pindee Buttian on the right bank of the Chenab. just about a hundred and fifty miles from Lahore, moving on to effect a junction with Chuttur's division. The latter is believed to have been joined also by the Bunnoo insurgent troops, to whom offers were made by Shere Singh and I)ewan Moolraj, but their passage down to the southward was impeded by the Governor of the Dherajat, who kept the passes into that country too strongly for a surprise, and as fighting for nothing did not suit the appetite of these gentlemen, they crossed the Indus high up at Esakhail and moved on to Chuttur Singh. It is said that the Maharaja of Kashmir, indignant at the accusations made against him of complicity with Chuttur Singh, demanded leave of the British represen tative to co-operate against that girder ; it is said that leave was granted, and in consequence a force of about 6,000 men, under Colonel Steinbach, has been die. patched to take the rebel in flank. It is currently expected that the moment this force gets out of the Maharaja's dominions it will mutiny, under the Colonel, and fraternize with the insurgent Seikhs, such being believed to be the pro gramme of its operations drawn up by Ghoolab Singh himself. We are disposed to believe, however, that the Dagro having (with more deliberation than is possible to those who have actually flung away the scabbard) sur veyed the extent of our preparation, calculated its ade quacy to crush any force that could be brought against us, and reflected on the certainty of the catastrophe, is now disposed to exert himself, with the double hope of exonerating himself from the suspicions levelled at him, and of securing (for his services, of course) another small slice of territory. We believe, therefore, that if be does not contemplate at once championing the rebel cause cdute qui eoute, he is too wise to venture on any peoceeding which would easily be made to involve him in the consequences, as that he is said to have concocted. At Peshawar up to the 15th all was well, but the de termination of Government not to throw out rescuing parties, till the army of the Punjaub had fairly taken the field, was naturally misinterpreted by the country people. Mrs. Lawrence had returned to Kohat, where she still remained. But Major Lawrence had begun to feel so secure in his position, if Chuttur Singh did not cross the Indus, that he proposed she should return to Peshawur as soon as recovered from her fatigues. It is said that the alarm given by her escort at Chuckowal, which in duced them to turn back, was altogether fictitious. Lie*. tenant Nicholson having travelled the same road subsequently, and declared it perfectly safe. The affair is believed to be a trick of Sultan Mahomed Khan, though its ulterior object is not mentioned. That Bar rukzaie Sirdar, being at Kohat, has been summoned to Peshawur to answer ceatain matters, and endea voured to evade the demand by declaring that Major Lawrence had hostages enough of his in his power to secure his fidelity; that he. was busy on some important revenue collections, and that when these were settled he would cheerfully come in. The excuse would appear to have been rejected as frivolous. Kafilas from Kashmir Caubul,passing through Peshawur, describes their transit through Chuttur Singh's camp. The rebels suffer much from want of supplies, and the country people take every opportunity of murdering stray_ Seikhs. - Peroaeiere now presents ti brilliant scene, regiment after regiment moving in to complete the army of the Punjaub. The prices of provisions were rising rapidly, and it was therefore expected one division (Colonel Godby's) would be immediately moved across the Sutlej and towards Lahore. The Commander-in -Chief reached Kulka on the 21st ult. His Excellency was to have started again on the 23d for Munnee Majra, and pro• ceeding thence vier Khur and Khumana to Loodhiana. The Governor-General is expected to be at Umballah on the 15th instant, from which date we may look for action, and some clue to the policy proposed to be pur sued in regard to the Punjaub. All is impenetrable darkness on that subject at present. The cry of our contemporaries is generally for annexation; the opposite view of the question as regards the justice of the mea sure will be found discussed in an article elsewhere quoted. AFFGHANISTAN.—The only public interest that at taches to this quarter is that arising from the chance of Seikh insurrection being aided and abetted thence. The chance, however, is of the slenderest. A large detach ment of the Ameer's troops was destroyed in the Hazareh districts; greatly incensed at the event, Dost Mahomed ordered the immediate advance of Ryder Khan to punish the guilty tribes, and would have sup ported him with every available man from Caubul, but the Sirdars interfered with a strong representation of the impolicy of denuding the capital when affairs below the passes were so critically situated. At the same time the officers of the force pointed out the stout resistance for which the Hazareh people were prepared, and the difficulty of coping with them, assisted as they would be by the rapid approach of winter. After pro tracted counsel it was at last resolved that operations should be deferred to the spring. The Ameer had taken hostages from the Khyber chief, which shows the vigilance with which he regards the current of events in the Punjaub. Ouni.—Colonel Richmond is to leave Lucknow shortly, and be succeeded in the residency by Colonel __lversies the ovn mon place of th e C our t. .'h e King amuses fi himself with playing at soldiers, and exhausts afar from plethoric treasury by expensive uniforms, and new birds of para dise for his harem. The usua l b reac h es of the peace and murders throughout the country occur. The death of Colonel Wilcox, in charge of the Royal Observatory at Lucknow, is a loss to science. Hydrated is enlivened by the prospect of a petty cam paign against a contumacious Peerzada, administrator of the revenues of one of the wealthiest shrines in the Ni zam's territories. This gentleman has confined his own father, on account of a domestic crime which be is said to have committed. On news of the affair coming to the ears of the central authority, the Government sent orders to the son to deliver up the prisoner to its officers for trial. This the son refuses to do, denying the juris diction of the Nizam in such matters; and as the Go vernment orders have been repeatedly set at defiance, a force has been dispatched to coerce the refractory _Peer zada. The fort of Goolburg e, in whi c h h e h o ld s out, is very strong, and the British contingent at Secunderabad is entrusted with the duty, if neces:ary, of reducing it. The Resident is to proceed in person to the place if the sight if British bayonets is insufficient to bring the man to reason, but it is belfeved there will be no occasion for him to do so. Nepaul is said to be in a slight commotion, owing to the movement of our troops, and an army of obset vaton was to have been formed lest we should make a " chuppao" on libutmandu. The intelligence from this quarter is, however, at once rare and generally exagge rated. CHINA. Our dates from llong-Kong are to the 30th of October. The following is the letter of our corre spondent at that port : " The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Braganza, with the 24th of August mail, arrived on the 23d inst. She had very severe weather near the coast of China. At Canton and the ports matters keep per fectly quiet. Hong-Kong is more healthy than of late, the cool autumn having set in. All her Majesty's troops have been landed during the month, and the three char tered ships h a ve been paid off. We regret having to report that a malignant fever was very prevalent at Shanghac, which had carried off some foreigners; and by the last accounts, of the 21st instant, it had not abated. The sickness is attributed to the unseasonable summer and constant rains. " We regret to state that his Excellency Governor Bonham met with a severe accident four days since in spraining both his ankles by a fall, which is likely to confine him some t i me to the house. He is, we hear, going on favourably. "After som e correspondence the American Commis sioner, the Hon, Mr. Davis, has had an interview with the Governor-General Sew, on the 6th inst., at Canton, which took place at Hovrqua's residence, and terminated with a banquet. " During the month we have had very severe weather, particularly on the coast, and the disasters have bcen numerous, several vessels returning to port disabled. Her Majesty's ship Childers sailed for Shanghae on the 4th, and returned to port on the 28th inst. She met with a hurricane on the 7th, and was driven on the Pratas shoal on the 10th inst., where she remained till the 25th. She threw all her guns overboard, lost her boats, spars, &c., and her hull is much damaged by constant bun,ping during the continuance of the severe weather. " The Hon. Company's steamer Phlegethen arrived from Manilla on the 25th inst., to which port she was obliged to put back after being 150 miles off the China coast. " Her Majesty's brig Columbine came down from Amoy on the 25th to take provisions. "Her Majesty's steamer Medea remains at Whampott, and Pluto steamer at Canton. Her Majesty's steamer Scout is at Foochowloo, her Majesty's steamer Mariner at Shanghae, her Majesty's frigate Cambrian, Commo dore Plumridge, sailed for Singapore and Bombay on the 24th inst. Admiral Collyer is expected hero imme diately in the Hastings, 74. " Our latest dates are, from London, August 24 ; from Calcutta, September 16 ; from Bombay, Septem ber 18 ; Madras, September 15 ; Singapore, the 10th inst.; Manilla, the 18th inst.; and from Sydney, Sep tember 6, by the James Scott, arrived at Weosung on tbo 19th inst." AFFRAY WITH SOME CHINESE JUNKS AND THE BOATS OF HER MAJESTY'S SHIP CAM BRIAN. A serious affray took place at Hong-Kong on Oc tober 15, between the boats of her lltlajesty's ship Cam brian and two Chinese junks. It appears from the lengthened depositions in the China Mail, of the 19th October, that a Mr. Muir and some friends were going ashore from the Tam o' Shanter, at six P.M. on the 15th, when showers of stones were thrown at them from two junks. They lodged a complaint at the police station, when three boats of police men were sent to the junks, but they were assailed with stones also, and were beaten off with gingals and matchlocks. The, superintendent of police then pro ceeded on board the Cambrian, and requested the assist ance of Commodore Plumridge, who, with the view of arresting the Chinamen without bloodshed, ordered ail the boats of the frigate under the command of Lieut. Lloyd, with Fin.t. Lieutenant H. Julliffe, of the Royal Marines; Mr. Alexander, midshipman; Mr. Wise, second master, &c., to board the junks. When the man-of war's boats arrived alongside the Chinamen they were fired at, whereupon Lieutenant Lloyd gave the word, the marines of the launch sent back a volley of ball cartridge with three cheers; the junks were boarded through the smoke, and the prisoners, 22 in number, were soon se cured. The Chinese further resisted by pouring hot water and molasses on the boat's crew, and by presenting bamboo spears, and bit and pinched the seamen and marines when they were captured, two of the Chinese having been killed in the boarding. An inquisition was taken on the bodies, when the following verdict was: returned.—That Uhafoo and Niu-achiu, Chinese junkmen, came by their deaths between Sunday night and Monday morning, the 15th and 16th of October, 1848, from gun-shot wounds inflicted by certain seamen and marines unknown, acting under orders of their officers, who were instructed by the senior naval officer on this station to aid the police in capturing two junks anchored in-shore in the harbour of Hong-Kong, the crews of which junks had been alarmed by boats coming alongside after nightfall, and resisted the authorities and others, under the impression that they were thieves; and such resistance as was offered on this occasion appears to the jury to have been justified by the necessity for trading junks protecting themselves from being hoarded by strangers and pre tended p , lieemen, as well as by the existing regulations of the Hon;-Kor,g Government, issued to junks anchor ing in the harbour. the jury then considered it to be their duty to pursue the inquiry into several matters not immediately con nected with the deaths of these two men, but the investi gation of which may tend to prevent the recurrence of such disasters, and seems of importance to the reputation and prosperity of the colony. A session of the Admiralty Court was held on Tue,s day last, the commissioners being Chief Justice Hulme, Commodore Plumridge, the Colonial Secretary, the Chief Magistrate, and Captain Morris, of her Majesty's ship Cambrian—for the trial of two cases, one of which (Kwok Asee) was postponed on the usual plea that the whole of the witnesses were absent. The other case was that of the Spec, which has excited a good deal of in terest and some newspaper discussion, in which last we have abstained from taking part, beyond announcing the fact that in July last the schooner was boarded and afterwards seised by Captain Pitman, of the Childers, under suspicion of having been engaged in a piratical attack upon a Chinese junk near the Chusan islands, which seemed to receive so much confirmation from the Spec's log, that Captain Pitman considered it his duty to detain her, and carry the master and his crew for examination before her Majesty's Consul at Shanghae. The most material witness for the Crown having sud denly disappeared, the jury, after a deliberation of two hours returned, having found "no true bill." Captain Cole was discharged, and the Government immediately offered 200 dollars for information, so as to enable them to trace the missing witness.—China Mail, Oct. 5. Lieutenant Teesdale, of the Ceyloa Rifles, is gazetted as Aide-de-camp to his Excellency the Governor, which we presume is equivalent to cancelling Mr. Wade's in terim appointment as private secretary, either but not both being allowed by the colonial replatione.—China Mail, Oct. 5. The interview between the American and Chinese Commissioners took place at Howqua's residence on the river on Friday last, the 6th. There were present on the part of the Chinese the G overnowGeneral Sen, the Lieutenant-Governor, with Tung and other mandarins; on the part of the Americans —H. E. Commissioner Davis; Dr. Parker, Secretary of Legation; Mr. Forbes, Consul; Commodore Geisinger, and Captain Glynn, with several officers of the Preble and Plymouth. After the interview a banquet was given, during which the natural reserve and taciturnity of the Viceroy began . to wear off, and he became as courteous and comnpcwa s t t l e ve as it see ms possible for him to be. The.m July glai from one one o ' c l oc k t ill five.—China Ma i l, l2. CANTON. The criminal judge of Canton has strictly prohibited the drowning of female children, and has also issued severe prohibitions against lotteries. The Chinese authorities have been /taking the most energetic measures for the suppression of piracy and against assisting pirates. The following proclamation has been issued by Chow:— _ _ "In Canton every place is filled with robbers, and plunder is of frequent occurrence. I have several times adopted measures for their seizure, as is on record. There is one man, Shilt-woo-sze, who boldly dares to rob on the sea (he, indeed, is addicted to wickedness), to the great injury of merchants. Now, the great officer has taken the command of the troops in order to exter minate pirates; in every spot they are on the alert to seize them: this is very severe. I fear treacherous people supply them with provisions, thereby involving them selves and their relations in difficulties. "Therefore, I issue this proclamation, addressing my self to the policemen and gentry for their information. You ought mutually to warn each other. Do not sup ply the robbers, and entangle yourselves in the law. As soon as any come on shore to disturb and pillage, imme diately sound the gong, that they may be seized and delivered up for trial. If you dare secretly to supply, protect, or conceal them, the moment you are discovered you will certainly be severely judged. Each ought im plicitly to obey. , Do not disobey. Hasten! Hasten! A special command.—China Mail, Oct. 26. Two robber captains have been seized at Canton, and after decapitation, their heads were stuck up as a warn ing to evil-doers. The district of Pwan-yii has not paid up its taxes, and the magistrate therefore addressed a very pathetic appeal to the people, to urge the payment of the dues, so as to enable him to forward at the pro per time the requisite sums.
