THE ANNEXATION OF THE PUNJ AUB. • I We have received dispatches from India, in antici pation of the mail, which left Bombay on the 17th of April. Although nothing was positively known at Ole period of the last mail's departure respecting the long relayed question of annexation, yet the public mind has been long made up as to the most probable course to be taken for the future government of the Pun jaub ; and the Governor-General's proclamation of the 29th of March, annexing the country of the five rivers, will cause no surprise. The dearly bought experience of the last five years is the best answer to all who feel inclined to cavil at the justice or expediency of the step taken for the future tran quillity of the country. The proclamation in question, which will be found elsewhere, is very brief, very much to the purpose, and as plain as a document could well be, slightly touching upon the history of cur connexion with the country, and pointing out that, in spite of treaties and the great desire for peace evinced by the British Government, even after the battles on the banks of the Sutlej, the Seikh people and their chiefs have grossly and faithlessly violated the promises by which they were bound. having advanced thus far in de claring the kingdom of the Punjaub at an end, the next question of paramount importance is the disarm ing of the Seikhs. The Governor-General in one part of the proclamation touches upon this point, where he declares that the defences of every fortified place not occupied by British troops shall be totally destroyed ; and further, that effectual steps shall be taken to deprive the people of the means of renewing the war; but the means to be employed to carry out these pro mises are not touched upon. Both points will come under the consideration of those to whom the future government of this large territory has been entrusted by the Governor-General. His Excellency has pro hibited the enlistment of any of the Seikhs who had served in the rebel army; and a circular has been is sued by the Commander-in-Chief, calling the atten tion of commanding officers to this paint, advising great care and circumspection when men present themselves with the view of being enlisted in the native regiments. gaged in the like employment have treacheroudy been thrown into captivity. Finally, the army of the State and the whole, Seikh people, joined by many of the Sir darn in the Punjaub who signed the treaties, and led by a member of the Regency itself, have risen in arms against us, and Nava waged a fi2rce and bloody war for the proclaimed purpose of destroying the British and their power. " The Government of .India formerly declared that desired no further conquest, and it proved by its acts the sincerity of its profes3ions. " The Government of India has no desire for conquest now; but it is bound, in its duty, to provide fully fur its own security, and to guard the interests of those com mitted to its charge. " To that end, and as the only sure mode of protecting the state from the perpetual recurrence of unprovoked and wasting wars, the Governor-General is compelled to resolve upon the enti re su bj ect i on o f a peop l e w h om their own Government has long been unable to control, and whom (as events have now shown) no piiniihment can deter from violence, no acts of friendship can conciliate to peace.

W. HERSCHEL, Bart. London : Longman, Brown, Green, and Longmans ; and John Taylor. Annexation appears to have become popular with the people at Ihnritsir, where great rejoicing has taken piste in consequence of the announcement of British authority being establised in the Punjaub. 13y an extract of a letter which appeared in the Telegraph and Courier, it would appear that the pe1,1,2 of the Punjaub are in earnest as regards their delight at the turn matters have taken ; for the writer of the letter says, when speaking of Umritsir, that the city was illuminated by rich and poor, by liindo s and Mahomalans, in token of their joy and approba tiod in ccming under British dominions. The Ak halees and Seikhs are said to have vied with the Khetrees in evincing their loyalty and allegiance to the new state of things; and last, though not least, the priests of the temple, in their sacerdotal dress, chanted hymns of praise and thanksgiving in honour of their country having come under British rule and government. The question very naturally arise how long is this very happy state of things to last, for later accounts from Lahore represent the inhabit. ants as being in a state of excitement in consequence of the annexation, so much so, that one of the Queen's regiments, under orders to move towards Ferozopore, was detained at the capital. The news from General Gilbert's force is highly satisfactory; everything that decision, good judg ment, great activity, and determination of purpose could effect, has been achieved by the General during his march upon Peshawur ; few could have done as much, no one more, than has been accomplished under his orders ; officers and men, European and Native, all looked up to their General with the greatest confidence, and would follow him anywhere ; he will no doubt meet his reward. The Bombay troops will remain at Peshawur under the command of Brigadier-General Dundas, General Gilbert with a small escort having made a move towards Lahore with the view of assuming the command of the Pun jaub division, to which he is eminently qualified. As most people anticipated, Dost Mahommed Khan has made the best of his way home, being chased ignominiously from the territories he invaded. It was fortunate for the Ameer that the Kyberees proved friendly and allowed him for a consideration to pass to Caubul. FENCER'S CHINESE LIQUID HAIR DYE.

One half the world are desolately single, and the other ;apposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a ;ens° of right determine the former, and miscalculatel hopes em %l...ter the latter. The solitary ono may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un eemproshig hurry; but tke truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness end social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health shouldform au item in the compact; It alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or sealed wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if ihese surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little MEMOIRS "On Single and Married Life," pub. in 2 vols., Is. each (by cost, in stamps, ls. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hbadered oy misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle cariosity, flt fer 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 ittle publications claim your attention (same price Is. eacb, by post ls. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely painehlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the mere ephemeral seribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's life who OIVC3 his present existence, health, and position to this ob servance of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as ho would be done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always on the " sunny side of the way." The above works may be had of iberwood, '23, Paternoster-rew ; Carvalho, 147, Fleet-street • Mann, 39, Cornhill ; Nalson, 457, West Strand ; or direct (by post or other wh:e) from the author (who Inay be conferred with personally, marnilgs and ovocings), lit, Argyll-ptaee IL:rent-street; sad all B intaellere. Thus, the war has been brought to a most success ful termination, and a most complimentary and well merited order was issued by the Governor-General, after the receipt of General Gilbert's dispatch from Peshawur, announcing the termination of hostilities. This document will be read with general interest. As to the future destination of the chiefs who have played so prominent a part against us (Chuttur Singh, and his son Shere Singh) nothing has trans pired, further than the confiscation of all their pro perty, in common with that of others who had joined in the cause of the rebels. As regards Moolraj, whose defence of Moult= excited a feeling of admiration among his enemies, he appears just now very likely to suffer . for the part he took in the murders of Messrs. Anderson and Agnew ; he is said to have failed most completely in the attempt to establish any point implicating the Durbar or Ghoolab Singh as having been in any way concerned in these acts, and the im pression at Lahore seems to be that he and the Narain Singh-will be hanged. Dhuleep Singh has been promised a pension of five lacs of rupees (40,0001.), and it is probable that his future residence may be fixed at I'oonab. Report has it that Sir W. Cotton, the Commander in-Chief of Bombay, intended to send home his resig nation by this mail, rather than serve under a junior —Sir C. Napier. Rumours of an increase of the army were of course current in India. An addition of no less than ten regiments to the Bengal force was spoken of, as it is alleged, "on good authority," while another report mentions a very useful change, the appointment of a sixth captain to all the Native Cavalry regiments. It was hoped, however, that the assignment of a large portion of the Bengal territory to the troops of the Madras Presidency would dispense with the necessity of any large augmentation. The Litter Presidency has long been in such profound tranquillity that its army has been comparatively exempt from a partici pation in the stirring scenes in which the Bengal and Bombay troops have engaged. The Meeatiee, 84, and Melampus, 42, sailed for England on the 4th of April; and the Cambria, 44, ailed at tho same time for Trincomalee. The Meer.nee carried no less than 493 invalids from the army. Whereon) the Governor-General of India has do • dared, and hereby proclaims, that the kingdom of tho Punjaub is at an end; and that all the territories of Ma haraja Dhuleep Singh are now and henceforth a portion of the British Empire in India. " his Highness the Maharaja shall be troatal with consideration and honour. "The few chiefs who have not engaged in hostilities against the British shall retaia their property and their rank. Itidia generally remained profoundly tranquil. The annexation of the Punjaub is thus an. nounced : "The British Government will leave to all the people whether Mussulman, Ilindoo, o r s e ikh , the free exercise of their own leligions, but it w ill not perm i t any man to interfere with others in the obse ivance of suc h f orms an d customs as their respective religi ons may e i t h er en j o i n or permit. "The Jagheers, and all the property of Sirdars or oche; s who have been in arms against the British, shall be confiscated to the state. " Tho defences of every fortified place in the Pun jaub which is not occupied by British troops shall be totally destroyed, and elf:ctual measures shall be taken ;0 deprive the people of .the means of renewing either :an:mit or war. "The Governor General calls upon all the inhabitants of the Punjaub, Sirdars and people, to submit themselves i,eaccably to the authority of the British G overnment, which has hereby been proclaimed. " Over those who shall live as obedient an d peaceful subjects of the state the British Government will rule with mildness and beneficence. " But if resistance to constituted authority shall again be attempted, if violence and turbulence be renewed, the Governor-General warns the people of the Punjaub that the time for leniency will then have passed away, and that their offence will be Finished with prompt and most rigorous severity. "By order of the Right Hon. the Governor General of India, "H. M. ELLIOT, " Secretary to the Government of India, with the Governor-General. " W. COURTNEY, " Acting Secretary to Government." "(True copies). THE PUNJAUB. (From the Bombay Times.) The annexation of the Purijaub to our dominions has been announced in form; the British frontier has now been pushed beyond the Indus; and not only do the Seikh states, Jamoo excepted, now recognise the sove reignty of England, but Peshaw ur and the Dh era j at, between the river and the mountains —the most produc tive und the most cherished provinces of the Dooranee empire—own our sway; and a surface of above 100,000 square miles, containing a population of 3,500,000, and yielding a net revenue of about 1,000,000/. sterling, has been added to our already colossal Eastern empire. N o acquisition was e ver made by us with more aversion, or by means less open to censure; and by the industrious portion of the people the transfer will be hailed with gratitude. 'That it will not for a long period t) co me be able from its own revenues to maintain itself, and that it will prove a heavy tax on our already overburdened finances, is more than pro bable. Whether it ultimately prove a blessing or a curse to us, will depend on the use we make of it. If it be dealt with as the majority of our conquests . have been—neglected, unless as a vast cantonment for troops and the basis of further annexations—it will form but one more addition to the mass of expensive misgoverned provinces already bowing us down, and likely, unless under a change of system, to prove our ruin. We yet want Khyrpore, Behawulpore, and the 16jpoot states, on the south and west, to complete our dominions— Jamoo and Cashmere to relieve us of apprehension from the north-east; with Oude, Hyderabad, the Mysore, Travancore, and all the other native states embosomed in our empire —if the old and atrocious doctrine of the necessity of expansion be insisted on. It we are to profit by the light of civilization, and set about making the most of what we possess before coveting more, a stupendous career of indefinite length and incon ceivable brightness is before us. Our fate de pends on our selection. Should we persist in in dulging in endless expansion, and madly realizing the dream that our destinies drive us onwards, history may, before a century elapse, have to chronicle our fall —the moralist, while deploring the humiliation of our fate, to mark the justice of the retribution which brought a nation to the ground, oho in the barbarous triumphs of arms forgot the claims of its subjects, and the duties due to the cause of civilization and the arts of peace. We have now, at all events, no reasonable pretexts for ap prehensions of danger on our frontier, or plausible ex cuse for extension of territory; and though we have often to a certain extent been in tho like predicament before, we never were ss to such an extent as we are now. Yet, so long as restless Governors-General or warlike Commanders-in -Chief know that any war, however unjust, if only successful—any conquests, however ruinous—will obtain for them, from the people of Eegland, thanks, honours, and pensions —how shall India feel secure of tranquillity or good government, when these yield neither fame nor riches to our rulers? The present is, perhaps, the only occasion in our history where territory has been forced upon us, and where we, literally, scarcely had room to choose which measure ought to be pursued— when that resorted to was perhaps, after all, the lesser of the evils resulting from previous intermeddling with nations and empires that concerned us not left to be pursued.

N. Gilbert's force at Attock, and the anticipations wo then expressed that he would reach Peshawur on the 21st were realised. Though thus rapid in his movements, and successful in all his other projects, he was unable to overtake the C. übul marauders. The fault was none of his—Dost Mahomed had the start of him; and an army of plun derers who cared nothing for the injury inflicted by them on the people, and whose sole object was to get out of our way, was too fleet for one whi c h had to bring up its artillery, stores, a n d ammun i t i on a l ong it, with and to keep itself fit f u r a c ti on . Th e Ameer, i n d e ed, had en tered the Khyber P uss j ust as we crosse d the Indus, and been enabled, by t h e f or b earance o f the tribes, to make his way t owar d s J e ll a l a b a d w ithout interrup tion. His troops had dyne all the mischief they could as they withdre w . P es h awur h a d s h u t its gat?; against them, but they destroyed the suburbs and villages all around; and the ruins of the cantonments occupied by the Seikh garrison, and of the resid ence of Major Law rence, were still smoking when we arrived. The city would doubtless have shared the same fate had not the Amecr directed the inhabitants to refuse admittance to s u. The oup nirelnnder e e e men on his ungovernab:e rabble. Th e B om b ay t roops had been directed to stand fast be.at Pesha wur f or t h e present and d n g marked murdered o some t of Arf cantonments h impunity, and wi from the hills wee© carrying on a sy s t em of their way back from the town of Peshawur to camp. Sir W. Gilbert was to leave for Lahore on the 2d of April, with the 30th Native Infantry as an escort. S o soon a; the tidings reached that all which could be attempted had been accomplished, the proclamation intimating the annexation was issued. Mr. 11. M. Elliot, Foreign Se cretary with the Governor-General, proceeded straight_ way to Lahore, and assembled the Durbar, when it was intimated that Dhuleep Singh had ceased to reign, and the monarchy founded by Runjeet Singh had passed to other hands. The Prince, now Sove reign no more, is to reside within the British dominions —rumour says at Poonah, in the Deccan — an d i s to re ceive a pension of 40,0001. a-year. His mother, who ex pressed so much anguish on being part e d f rom him, and whose intrigues and machinations were so w e ll calcu lated to-hasten his fall, is to be permitted to join him in his seclusion. The present force in the P unjaub amounts to 33,000 British troops; that on the frontier and in the Jullundur Doab to 38,000; the grand tot a l of our army on the north-west frontier and in the P un j aub together to 71,110 men. The country is, as stated in our l a st, to be placed under a Council, of which Lieutenant-Colonel President Sir Henry Lawrence is to bo (on a salary of 7,000 r.), and Mr. C. G. Mansell and John Lawrence, members (on 4,000 r. each per month). p our Commis sioners have been named—viz., Messrs. Edward Thorn ton, H. Montgomery, D. M , Leod, and M. P. E dgeworth, with a clo u d o f D e puty-Commissioners a n d assistants, amongst whom the following have been already named : —Messrs. F. B. Pearson, H. P. Fane, W. J. H. Carnab, H. Breret on , Philip Egerton, Edward Bayley, J. Wed derburn, Brand Sapte, G. F. M‘Leod, IL B. Henderson, D. Simson, R. Simeon, F. D. Forsyth, J. 11. Prinsep, A. Money, Couper, &c. The greater part of these officers are already at the posts that are to be assigned to them. It has been stated to us on excellent authority that next cold season the Saugor and Nerbudd a terr i tories are to be p ermanen tly placed in charge of the Madras army; so that no fewer than 15 regiments from the " Benighted Presidency" will be required where Ben gal troops now serv,s. This is a very heavy draught on the Madras army; if such a force can be spared it will go far to obviate the necessity of an augmentation. Th e Commissary of Ordnance at Saugor has been directed to prepare accounts so as to enable the arsenal to be transferred to o th e r hands. It is added—b ut on this point we speak with more hesitation--that the Commis sioner for Saugor is to receive an appointment in the Punjaub, and that the civilians as well as the soldiers Of Madras will move upwards. .

" For many years, in the time of M a h ara j a R un j eet Singh, peace and friendship prevailed between the Bri tish nation and the Seikhs. " When ltunjeet Singh was dead, and his wisdom no longer guided the counsels of the state, the Sirdars and the Rhalsa army, without provocation and without cause, suddenly invaded the British territories. Their army was again and again defeated. They were driven with slaughter and in shame from the country they had invaded, and at the gates of Lahore the Maharaja Dhu• leep Singh tendered to the Governor-General the sub mission of himself and his chiefs, and solicited the cle mency of the British Government. "The Governor-General extended the clemency of his Government to the state of Lahore; he generously spared the kingdom which he had acquired a just right to subvert; and, the Maharaja having been replaced on the throne, treaties of friendship were formed between the states. " The British have faithfully kept their word, and have scrupulously observed every obligation which the treaties imposed upon them. "But the Seikh people and their chiefs have, on their part, grossly and faithlessly violated the promises by which they were bound.

The Governor-General is also pleased to direct that every corps which has been so employed shall bear the same words on their standards, colours, and appoint ments. The Governor-General desires to take this oppor• tunity of acknowledging his o bli ga ti ons to officers who have - been serving in various positions connected with the army in the field. The Governor-General is sensible of the zeal and activity of Major. General Sir D. Hill, K.C.8., com manding the reserve, and he would have looked with confidence to his services if the division under his com• mend had been called into operation. Brigadier-General Wheeler, C. 8., has executed the several duties which have been committed to him with skill and success; and the Governor- General has been happy to convey to him his thanks. The Governor-General is indebted to Brigadier Stalker, commanding at Moulton, for the successful exer tions which have been made under his directions for placing the fort again in a condition of defence, and for maintaining the tranquillity of the country. The Governor-General begs to acknowledge the ser vices which have been rendered by Lieutenant-Colonel M•Sherry, Ist Native Infantry, commanding at Go vindghur. The energy, vigilance, and tact which ho exhibited during his occupation of that important fortress have been of much value to the Government of 100 200 600 500 500 600 From Sir F. Currie, Resident at Lahore, previously to his return to his seat in Council, the Governor-General received at all times effective and most ready co-opera tion; and he has continued to receive from Lieutenant- Colonel Sir H. Lawrence, K.C.8., the support which his known ability and experience enabled him to afford. Tho meritorious conduct of the several assistants to the Resident has elicited the strong approbation of the Government. In addition to those whom he has before named, the Governor-General offers his especial thanks to Major George Lawrence for the able management which so long enabled him to maintain his position at Peshawur, and to Captain James Abbott for the gallant stand ho has made in the hills of Hazarah. Liejant Taylor has earned the full approbation of the Government by his judicious and persevering efforts, which regained and have held the province of Bunnoo. The sustained defence of the fort of Attock, which was made by Lieutenant Herbert under circumstances of great difficulty, has been viewed by the Government of India with admiration, and entitled him to their warmest praise. Mr. John Lawrence, Commissioner of the trans S u tl e j Province, h as received the thanks of the Governor-Ge neral. Well seconded by his assistants in the district, he has greatly contributed by his promptitude, energy, and firmness, to the maintenance of the general tran quillity which has prevailed in these newly acquired ter ritories. The Governor-General especially wishes to record his marked approbation of the manner in which Major Mackeson, C. 8., as his agent with the army, has dis. charged the duties which were entrusted to him. In the important political matters in which he has been en gaged, Major Alackeson's proceedings have been distin guished by ability, judgment, discretion, and firmness; and the Governor General begs to convey to him the ex pression of his unqualified satisfaction. The Governor-Ueneral concludes by tendering to the officers of the Government in his camp sincere thanks for the assistance he has at all times received from them. He particularly desires to express his obligation to Mr. Henry Elliot, Secretary to the Government of In dia, for his very able, laborious, and most valuable aid in the important affairs which occupied the Governor-Gene ral's attention; and to Colonel Stuart, C. 8., military secretary to the Government of India, and to Lieutenant- Col' nel Benson, CB., member of the military board with the Governor-General, for the great assistance he has derived from their experience and judgment in the affairs of their respective departments. While thus congratulating the army and British sub jects in India on the triumphant success which has been achieved, the Governor-General desires humbly to ac knowledge the hand by which alone all victory is given. He has accordingly intimated to the Lord Bishop his wish that on the first Sunday in May thanksgiving shall be offered to Almighty God for the successful termina tion of the war in which we have been engaged, and for the restoration to the people of the blessing of peace.

My Lord,—l have sincere satisfaction in forwarding to your Lordship a cr)py of a dispatch received this day from Major General Sir Walter U. Gilbert, K.C.B , commanding the advanced force of this army, No. 291, of the 21st instant, announcing the occupa- tion of Peshawar by the British troops ; the precipitate retreat of the Ameer Dost Mahomed Khan and his followers beyond the Khyber Pass, and the consequent dissolution of the Affghan confederacy. These brilliant results have been obtained, your Lord ship will observe, without a single shot being fired by our troops since the victory of Goojerat on the 21st ult. It is almost superfluous for mo to repeat to your Lordship how very highly I estimate the unwearied and zealous exertions in these subsequent movements of that most energetic and able officer, Major-General Gilbert, and the excellent troops under his command. In soliciting your Lordship's particular attention to Major-General Gilbert's commendation of Major F. Mackeson, C.D., your Lordship's agent with the force, I beg to repeat the high sense I entertain of that officer's merits, and the excellent service he has rendered throughout the campaign. The Soikh rebellion and Affghan confederacy having been now effectually put down and overthrown, I beg to be favoured with your Lordship's instruction h storitrust, break ing up the army of the Punjaub, which as merited the approbation of your Lordship , and the country.

The fort of Jumrood is also reported to be destroyed.

The Governor-General declared, that before the war could cease, every enemy, whether Seikh or Affghan, should be driven from before us. ' and the Briti s h army ha 3 well and ga ll ant l y ma d e good his words. The Seikh Sirdars and the remnant of their army were pursued, have surrendered, and have been dis armed. Tho Ameer of Caubul with his troops has fled before the Bi itish force, and has been chased ignominiously from the territories he invaded. The war has thus been brought to an end, and the Punjaub has been declared a portion of the British em pire of India. Once again the Governor-General offers to his Excel lency the Commander-in-Chief, to tho general officers, the officers, non-commissioned officers, and soldiers of the army, the assurance of his deep and unfeigned gra titude for the great services they have rendered to the country by the zeal and energy they displayed, and for the sustained and cheerful exertions they have made. In anticipation of the wishes of tho non. Court of Directors, the Governor-General will grant to every officer and soldier who has been employed within the Punjaub, in the campaign, to the date of the occupation of Peshawur, a medal, bearing the word " Punjaub," in I commemoration of the honourable service they have done.

TELE LORD CMiNCELLOR.—The answer given yester day to inquiries after the health of the Noble Lord was:— His Lordship is much better, and has passed a good night." EXETER-HALL. Mr. Hullah gave one of his interesting and classical performances on Monday night, with a chorus selected from his upper singing schools and an effective baud, amounting in all to 500 in number. Handers dramatic chef d'oeuvre, Adis and Galatea, was very effectively given, the Misses Williams, Herr Pisehelc, and Mr. Sims Reeves taking the principal yen' parts. The popular airs, " Love in her eyes," and " 0, ruddier than the cherry," respec tively sung by Mr. Sims Reeves and Herr Pischek, were enthusiastically encored. The choruses were admirably rendered, under Mr. Hulhh's direction, and " Wretched Lovers," one of the most original dramatic and masterly pieces of Handel, was perhaps never better executed. After the ser t ser enata two ch ora l songs of great merit, the c v o er m y p o d s i i s t t i i o n n g u o i f sl . e li d ss t ellen° sirot 1 ande, ea a t t E a i n n g m l 1 e s 1 1 1 t 3 p , r W o t e e r s e s o per e r.. with of formed, and received great favour by the audience. The evening concluded with the overture and the music in the second act of IVeber's Obenn in which the Misses Williams, Miss Lueornbe. Mr. Benson,and Herr Pischck were the iarincipals. The overture was bril liantly given by the band, led by Mr. Willy and con ducted by Mr. Hullah. In the adagio the horn obligato part, was played with fine tone and precision by Mr. Jarrett, who equally distinguished himself in the diffi cult and characteristic accompaniment to the " Mer maid's Song," which was beautifully sung by Miss A. Williams. The chorus " Glory to the Caliph," was rendered with striking energy, and the popular quartet, " Over the dark blue waters," received every justice at the hands of Misses Lucombe and M. Willi ams, and Messrs. Benson and PischA. The hall was very crowded, and the performance appeared to give the crow , ut most satisfaction. IMPROVEMENT IN FABRICS.—WASHABLE SILKS. —The introduction of printing mousseline do Nile formed a new era in textile art, and is due to the French; but its gradual improvement, more particularly in the transfer of grey colours, now so fashionable, owes its origin entirely to an English source, that of Messrs. Jay and Co., the proprietors of the extensive mourning es tablishment in Regent-street. This was effected by causing on'y the finest wool of a warm creamy hue to be used for the material or back ground, so to speak, of the printed designs. We owe to the same energy and judg• ment the perfection of silks similarly treated and equally washable. The soot Ling influence which a happy ar rangement of grey tints has upon the mind, and their agreeable (Met upon the artistic eye, have already caused the adoption of these washable silks by the elite of our beau monde.—Court Journal.

To my troops lam indebted, ( under Providence, for these glorious results. Since the Ist of the inonth they have marched from the Jhelum to the Indus acd Peshawur, crossing both rivers under many disadvantages, and overcoming all the obstacles of the road, which are naturally great, and were much en hanced by our large train of stores and baggage—the necessary incumbrances of a force like this. To both officers and men I am deeply indebted for their cheerful endurance of the fatigues and privations to which all have been exposed. I cannot permit myself to conclude this report of my arrival at Peshawur without expressing to his Lordship my sense of the valuable services rendered me by Major F. Mackeson, C. 8., who aczompanied the force as agent of the Governor-General. lam particularly indebted to him for his ready assistance, arid for the unwearied and unremitting zeal with which he has performed the important duties of his office. To his cool judgment and unswerving decision of purpose I owe much of the success that has attended the progress of my force. From my staff; generally, I have received every as sistance.

REPORT ON THE STATE OF THE BOMBAY MARKETS PROM THE 2D TO THE 16TH OF APRIL INCLUSIVE. Monday Afternoon, April 16. The past fortnight has been characterised by the same inactivity in the import market as that which p receded _ it, owing to th e n on . arr i va l o f f res h supplies. Notwith standing this, the state of both the import and export markets continues healthy. For cotton wool an in creased demand has existed, and large quantities have been purchased for the home and China markets. The money market continues easy, any quantity being ob tainable at the banks on unexceptionable security. Piece Goods—The scarcity of these fabrics in the market had the effect of causing the small quantity ar rived by the Lady of the Lake to be eagerly purchased. A portion of these had been sold to arrive, and the gray and bleached shirtings and jacconets, bleached mada pollams, and gray longeloth , and T cloth, brou g ht by her, were bought up prices in general higher than those pre%iously ruling—viz., 2 annas on 40-inch gray shirting, 4 on jacconets, and 2 on longeloth. Of all these ' fabrics the market is bare, and the first arrivals will meet with a rapid and advantageous sale. No improve ment in the price of gray madapollams has yet taken place, though they are in good demand. A fair demand exists for jwconet check, satin stripe, and bleached twill cloth; but for satin spots little inquiry is made. Fancy Goods—Of these gray and bleached mulls and stripes, bock muslin:, chintz dresses, bleached scarfs, and purple coloured mulls, are chiefly inquired for; low to middling quality lappets, grey dhooties, and harness mulls dull. A Lair inquiry exists for Turkey red dyed plain cloth, while twill cloth and prints of the same dye are but little sought after. The stock of the fcrmer is small. Cotton Yarn—Nos. 30 to 50 mule command increased prices at the present time; and all numbers, of both this and water, are in brisk demand. The sales during the fortnight amount to 80 bales of the former and 85 of the latter, us fellow:-30 bales of mule, 300 each, No. 20, at 5i annas per pound ; 50 bales of mule, 2001 b. each, No. 30, at 71 annas, and'4o at 81 annas per pound; 40 bales of water, 4001 b. each, Nos. 20, 22, 24, 26, at 6 7.16 annas per lb ; 45 bales of water, 200 each, No. 20, at 61 annas, and 30 at 8} annas per pound. Dyed Yarn—The only sale effected during the fort night has been one of 45 bales of orange, Nos. 30, 40, 44, 50, and 60, at 12,i annas per pound. But little remains in first bands, and the demand is good. For Turkey red no demand exists, and there is but small chance of improvement for the present. Ball Thread—A sale of 5,0001 b. of ball thread, Nos. 20 to 60, has been effected at 12f annas per lb. Woolli ns-6,500 yards of scarlet, green, and blue cloth, have been sold at qr. per yard ; and 2,303 yards scarlet and green at 14r. per yard. Cochineal—Two sales cf this article have taken place, one of 2,000ib. at 24r., and one of 1,2001 b. at 2r. 13 annas per lb. Nearly 24,0001 b. of the supply received by the George Buckham still remain on hand, and further large importations are looked for, the knowledge of which has had the effect of inducing purchasers to enter the market less freely than they otherwise would have done. Metals—lron—The stock of British bar is small, and scarcely any demand exists. No sales have taken place in any sort of this metal except round nail rod, of which 125 candies have been sold at 50 rupees per candy. Of sheet the market is bare, and both it and hoop are in fair inquiry. Nails and square rod are dull. For Swedish iron, both flat and square bars, the demand is good, and better prices are obtainable. Swedish steel offers no change in price to notice. The value of sheet and pig lead is lower than at the date of our last. Copper pre sents nothing wort! yof remark. Sales of 800 cwt. of tile at 561 rupees, and 125 cwt. of braziers' at 661 rupees, have taken place since our last. In speller nothing has been done. Of tin plates scarcely any stock exists, and they are much wanted. Saffron—A further decline in the price of this article has taken place; 5001 b. having been sold at 11 rupees per lb. Beer—A batch of Allsopp's last October brew has arrived, having been sold previous to arrival at 60 rupees per hogshead; at which price BOA S'S is also being dis posed of—quantities not known. 30 hogsheads of Ten ncnt's have been sold at 30 rupees per hogshead. EXPORTS. Cotton Wool—The arrivals from the interior during the fortnight have been considerable, and notwithstand ing the sale of upwards of 13,500 bales, the stocks are still heavy. The accounts from England by the last mail had a depressing effect on the market for some the prices pric m e a s do of f a o l r l kinds h f o el m l, e a m nd ar c k o e n t si a d t er l a o b w le ra p t u e r s: During the last few days these have improved, and, but foreh time ;a t s h s scarcity of tonnage, would rise still further. A greatly diminished crop is this year expected in Glue. rat. During the fortnight sales to the extent of 4,865 bales of Dhollera, 8,600 bales of broach, 400 candies of Oomrawuttee, and 150 candies of Mangalore, have been effected. Opium—Stocks moderate, and price of Malwa well maintained. The quotation of the day is 1,400 r. per chet. freights—The rates to Liverpool arc now 41. 2s. 6d. to 41. 55.; to London, 41. per ton; and to China, rs. 13i to 13:1 per candy. Time are rather higher than at the date of our last, and have been caused by the activity above mentioned in the cotton market. There are now scarcely anyvessels in harbour unengaged. Exchanges—The rates of the day are, for document bills at six months' sight, ls. 10F1.; for credit bills, Is. 100.; and for bank bills, is. 10d. For three months' sight bank bills, Is. 9/d.; two months', ls. 91-d; and one month, Is. 9d.; the two latter being lower than the rates quoted in our last, the former a shade higher. CALCUTTA, APRIL 7. MONEY MARKET.—Since the date of our last, we have been placed in possession of no further advices from borne; but have experienced that dreary gap which usually intervenes between the receipt of the second mail of one month and the first one of the ensuing. It is probable that before the next mail comes in, we shall have been three weeks without any home advices. The period has, however, been in a great measure relieved by tho active and healthy turn business has taken since the last two or three mails came in. Under the encotiraging influence of advices received by these, the demand for produce has received c msiderable impulse ; confidence has been imparted to shippers, and business has exhibited increasing activity. Upon the whole, a more healthy tone of feeling is spring ing up amongst us, and we may with the greatest confidence calculate upon a progression in this improve ment—if the ensuing English mails belie not the ex pectations we have been led to found on the improving y Z , ~f
