±:VI4JN IN G EDITION SECOND E SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock. NEWS FROM CHINA AND THE EAST. (ADDITIONAL PA.RTICULARS) LAHORE. " The news from Lahore, which we extract from the Agra Ukhbar is of the highest importance, as it is highly probable that the British Army will be soon called on to interfere. It appears that Shere Singh having induced the troops outside the city of Lahore to join his standard, commenced an attack with ,a determination to remove the Ranee Chund Kooar, mother of No Nehal Singh, from the throne. The city gates were suddenly ordered to be closed on the evening of the 14th of January; guns were planted at them, and no persons were allowed to approach the walls from the outside. On the 15th no' hing was decided, but during the night some of Shere Sin Ali's partisans having entered one of the gates, that chief succee;ed in establishing himself in the city, where he held a durhar. The fort still held out for the Ranee and continued to fire upon the adherents of Shere Single. The contest, which it was at first thought would speedily ter minate in fivour of the assailant, was continued up to the date of the latest intelligence. Orders had been issued to several British regiments:to prepare for n arching, as it was expected, towards the capital of Punjaub. The following extracts contain the details : ( From the Agra Ukhbar, of Jan. 28.) " Our predictions regarding the course of events in the Pun jaub are on the eve of being verified, and the first gun of the inevitable collision that must occur has been fired. A Corre, spondent gives us the particulars as follows : " Camp, Lahore, Jan. 18. "`I hasten to inform you that a company, with one of our Commi.sariat officers returning to the provinces from Affgha nistan, arrived at this place on the 14th instant , sinc e which period affairs here have taken a warlike appearance, and of which, for the information of the public, I will sdcavour to give you as exact a detail as . lies in my power. On the evening of the 14th, on a - sudden, all the gates of the city were ordered to be closed, and guns were planted at every gate with a party of men. each of the gates being made over to a Coomeedan, with express orders not to allow any person around into the city. During this time a centinual fire was kept up in the cantonments, which we learned from the different brigades which joined Shere Singh, who just before arrived from a place called Buttalah, and on whose account the gates of the city had been closed by order of the Ranee Chund Kooar, mother of the deceased No Nehal Singh. The firing from the heavy guns was kept up until 8 or 9 P.M., and yesterday we learned that the quarter part of the force (Seikh) had joined Shere Singh. The Ranee, however. was at this time sale in the Palace with, as report says, about 10,000 men, whom some persons, called the Swine walleas, had_ collected together, and they were bent upon making every resistance should Shere Singh have attempted to force a passage into the city. Yesterday aff sirs remained in this state ; now and then a stray gun was fired from both parties, and Vakeels were in the mean time passing between them. The Ranee, however, remained irre solute, and would not surrender the throne to Shere Singh. However, this morning affairs have taken a serious turn, it apvears last night that at one of the gates they let in some of the force that were on the side of Shere Singh, and the inside party finding so this morning, thought resistance use les., and Er o,t of them gave in. Shere Singh canoe as far as a garden a hel Iluzooreehaug, and, on attempting to enter, re ceived a fire frem the fort. This was immediately answered, and the parties were engaged a good couple of hours. At eight, or half-past eight, a heavy fire of cannon wee kept up for a go , d half hour, since which all has again become quiet. Rumours a y now that a favourite Jemad.ir chief (Khooieal Singh) of Itutijeet, poisoned him'elf, end a few other lives have been lost; tl e e.ctent has not yet been ascertained, but should I have anything further give it you in detail. This you may re'y upon as correct. Shere Singh may by this evening or to-morrow morning he placed upon the throne, when all will be quiet again. " P.S.----At this late hour, 2P. 32. no adjustment has been made, and guns are still firing from the fort upon Shere Singh, who is in the city holding durtar.' " " Since writing the above we have received confirmation of the ma in facts therein related, and civil war is now raging in the Punjaub • this account differs from the preceding in some points, but the important fact of the crisis having occurred is established " At;Laltere the contest:for power has brought on hostilities ; Shere Singh having won over:the troops and artillery outside, and being joined by Generals Ventura and Court and a few Sirdars, attacked the fort on the 15th and 16th, and succeeded in d slaeing the :Ranee. On this occasion John Com pany', advice and aid will be required, and it is conjectured that John will not be fastidious (his necessi.ies being urgent) on the que'stions of might and right. Meanwhile the 3d Dra g. ons, Ist and 9th Cavalry, and 3d Buffs, were yesterday or de re 1 to entertain their marching establishments." Lob era of the 19th from Ferozepore state, that a report, similar to that which we mentioned above, of the dethrone ment cf the self-elected Queen of the Punjaub, had just re. ewe' that station. All were of course on the qui vine ; a 1 entertaining sanguine (we had almost said sanguinary) holes, of early employment in the direction of Lahore and Umritsur. ghel arrival of Major-General Elphinstone at Fe ozepore is announced as having taken place on the 19th ii s'., under a salute of 13 guns. " Two days ago Koonwur where Singh arrived at Lahore at twelve o'dock at midnight cf the 15th instant, surrounded the Royal Mu nu.l,:and ultimately establislied,A footing in i'.s vir inity,•and at five next morninz they raised the standard of Raj Koonwur, entered the city by the northern gate, and with the a sistanca of the artillet y of Mewa Singh gained the :Uus nad. Many of the Sirdars (the Kaee Saba) are within the fort, and the guns are playing on every side—part of the fort hay . rig been knocked down. Rajah Goleub Singh, who defends the fort, has resolved to stand out. to the last extre mity. And though Jemadar Khoyal Sing had entered, yet tip to last accounts he had nut appeared in the presence of Koonwur Shere Singh. Gens. Court and Ventura, and other ra cers, have come in, but the for Chas not yet been reduced. But, the wri'er says, Koonwur Raj Singh will have entered the fort by the evening. Within the city all is tranquil." There is now no hope for the Punjaub ; we susrct the long expected internal dissensions have commenced, a in such a State, and with such a reople as the Stiles, who can say, unless British influence is bend c ally used, where they will terminate:? Whether Shere Singh be ill'gitimate or not, we think will not now be come the question of our policy, which must hinge upon supporting the party most favourable to our interests, and we suppo'e the Goternment are pretty well aware by this time of the opinions of both parties as to our rigl t of a certain degree of control over the Lahr re Court, or as to their will.ngness to bear it. However, let matters turn out as they will, and with either party up permost, the day for sorer movements, a little in advance to wards Affghanistan is not very far off, and we are glad that so respectable a force is stationed in the vicinity of a Court _from which we suspect more than one annoying intrigue has issued. The Loothanah Ukhbar of the 21st instant, just in, gives no further particulars; but we hear that more than 500 people have been shin.—Delhi Gazette, Feb. 27. SINGAPORE. The following extract from a private letter dated Singapore, 27th of January, will doubtless prove interesting to our COX merci al re !der: : . . . " The brig William, from China, arrived last evening and brings accounts of the negotiation with Ke-shen being re newed on a favourable footing, the particulars-of which Capt. Elliot would make known in a few days. " We have several junks from China in our harbour, and many more are expected e trly next month. Reports say we shall import this season 30,1300 to 40,000 boxes of tea of 20 eatties each. This, in addition to the other articles of regular trade and the junks, must create a considerable demand for cotton, opium, and British manufactures. Cotton (Bombay) has been already sold at $3O per bale, and higher prices are looked for in the months of Alarch, April, and May. Our opium 14 dull at present, and prices nominal. On the arrival of the Clipper from Calcutta the market will open; after which sales will be probably very extensive until the end of the year. JANUARY 21.--By the Spanish brig Ramiero, from Ba tavia the 18th tilt., we have received advices to that date. The NerNa left for Singapore on the same day, but has not yet arrived. There was nothing doing in piece goods, and not much in produce. Padang Coffee had been sold at 23f., but some par ties held for 24f. per pt. The Alary Dugdale had been char tered to load for Rotterdam at 51., and the Superior to load at Samarang and Sourabaya for the Cape and London at the vane rate.

By a private letter from the frontier we learn that the 13urrnese are perfectly quiet and their authorities are on vtry 'friendly terms with us. The new road from Cachar to illun :beet oor, under the superintendence of Lieut. Guthrie of the Engineers, i; now neatly finished ; it is a great undertaking, sod Cie manner in which it has been executed reflects gn as iredit on !hat officer. It ought to be carried on to 1 + va.

We have r•ceived no inteiligen.•e of importance from Scinde and Aff2ll , rd , tan dining the present n onth. Nusseer Khan is :still at large, hut there is strong reason to hope that he will .ere long surrinder himself. Dost Alahomed arriyid at Feroze pore on the sth ult., '•nd remained there until the 10th, after which they proettpded towards Loodeanah. He is said to be desirous of going to Calcutta for the purpose of seeing Lord Aueld nd, but it is doubtful whether his wish will ;ie gratified. Opium.—The G Otieriinr- General of the Por•uguese settle ments in Asia hat declared that all decriptiona of mvrehan incliti:ing opium, may be deposited i the porn of Goa, Diu, and Damaun, on the Payment of an ad valorem duty of one per cent., and that no furthe r tax will be levied on their .iqportation. BOMBAY MARKETS. COUNTRY rhODUCE. - Cotton.—Early in the week several purchases were made for the English market at rather improved pries, and on t':e 24th inst., the above in!eligence from China having read ed some parties on the previous evening, buyers were in the mar ket for that quirter. Each succeeding cay business aypeared to increase, aril there are now scarcely any u,sold bales on the Green, many parcels having been bought without selection. Contracts have been effected for new cotton but the rates pa d to-day have not bt en reported to us. Generally they are said to be 5 to 10 rupees per candy above the telloming prices which are those paid before the present exc itement in the market, namely._ Old. New.

Opium.—Great as has been eff the a activit y o f t h e cotton mar ket it has fallen short of the meragss exhibited to purchase opium, in sv:lieh article so many gambling transactions always occur in periods like the present. We understand that from 750 rupees to 760 per chest have been paid by bona fide pur chasers, being an advance of no less than 70 to 80 rupees per chest on the prices recently ruling. The following is the stock on hand, via. := Chests.

Indigo—ls rather lower in price, and some small shipments have been made to Europe. Wo 4—A few small parcels have been bought during the month, at 125 rupees to 135. None here of first quality. PERSIAN AND ARABIAN GULF PRODUCE. Mocha Coffee appears to be in less inquiry, but there is no supply of consequence. 43 rupees per cwt. is asked for garbled. Elephants' Teeth command high prices, and are in fair de mand. CHINA AND STRAITS PRODUCE. In China produce generally little has been d one durin g the last week. The Silk Market was beginning to wear a firmer aspect, until the China news arrived to which we have alluded above; and prices have now a tendency to decline. Sugar—Our quotations are lower. Spices.—Cassia Lignea has been in some inquiry, as well as Mace and Nutmegs, but holders require higher prices than purchasers are inclined to give at present. Betel Nut.—Continues rather scarce. EUROPEAN GOODS. Cotton Piece Goods—The extent of business during the month has been below the usual aver age at this season of the year. Long Cloths—The sales amount to about 10,000 pieces of gray, at 5/ rupees to 7 per piece, and 1,000 pieces of bleached, at 7 rupees to ; , heetings-2,000 pieces at Rs. 91. to 10 per piece of 55 to 60 yards, and of 36 to 45 inches. Madapollams-9,000 pieces at Rs 21 to 3.9 As. per piece. Grey Jaceonets-12,000 pieces at Rs. 1. 14 to 3 per piece. In bleached Madapollams and Jacconets the transactions have been very limited. Mull Sluslins—Have sold at from 3 to 4 rs. 9 annas for good, and 51 rupees for fine quality. Lappets—At 21 to 34 rupees ; Lappet spots 2/ to 41 perpiece. Book Mu.lins—At 1 rupee 7 annas to 2 14 rupees, 16 per piece.

Cochineal—Further arrivals have depressed the price of silver to •2 rupees 10 as. Brandy and Geneva—Market completely overstocked. Beer—A small parcel has been sold for arrival at 70 rupees per hogshead. THE MONEY MARKET. Money has been excessively scarce in the Bazaar, but the recent large sales of cotton and opium will tend to relieve many of the dealers. Government Securities.—No recent transaction of magni tude is repot ted to us. Bills on Bengal.—A few have been negotiated at sight at 3 / 4 per cent. discount, and 60 days' bills at 2 discount. Bank of Bombay.—Shares are nominally at 30 premium. Bank of Asia.—The shares allotted to Bombay have been apportioned, and a request is to be transmitted home for a fur. ther quantity. The applications arc said to have amounted to 4,000 shareg, many of the parties being induced to apply, it is supposed, under the impression that they will soon be sale able at a premium. Bills on England—The transactions reported are very con siderable this month, and the exchange appears to have fluc tuated materially, owing principally to different circumstances under which bills were negotiated. The rates, as far as we can ascertain, have varied for six months' sight. Bills, from 2s. oid. to 2s. Id. ; and for longer dated bills, 2s. lid. to 2s. lid. FREIHTS. To Great Britain—Engaglmentsliave been made to Lcndon at 41. 55., and to Liverpool at 41. 10s. To China—The price is nominally 26 to 28 Rs. this after noon, but no transactions are reported. A few days ast 28 is. was paid for a small freight. CALCUTTA MARKETS. Indigo.—The overland mail of December arrived here a day or two after the publication of our last circular, and the ac counts brought by it of the state of the English market gene rally, had the effect of turning the attention of different parties to Indigo, of being the safest mode of remittance under exist ing circumstances. Such being the case, and the French having again come into the market, a brisk demand sprung up, and a very large quantity has since found buyers for the Eng lish, French, and Gulf markets, at prices as compared with th , se of last year, showing generally a fall of not more than 10 to lsrs. per md. for fine Indigos, and of 15 to 2f'rs. per md. for mid dling and infertor qualities, upwards of two-thirds of the crop of this season have been ,hipped, and, taking into account the quantity sold but not yet shipped, we do not think that more that 15,000 mds. of the crop remain undisposed of. We think it necessary, now that the season has come nearly to a close, to state that, from the short weighing off of a num ber of the largest factories, and the small out turn of native produce. the crop will barely exceed 115,000 mds., but of this we shall be able to write more confidently in our next issue: The Exports of Indigo have been as follows, viz.—From Ist November to 11th inst. inclusive. To Great Britain London 15,497 Chests. Fp. mds. 56,791 Liverpool... 602 2,168 Newcastle 20 85 France Bond, aux... 2,259 8,077 Ilarve 2,180 7,621 F. Europe Bremen.... 65 2 8 6 Genoa 24 84 N.

Fy. mds. 78,446 Srelter.—A good deal of business has been done in this metal since our last, and prices have risen to Ct. Rs. 11 to 11-1 per Fy. md. Iron Ins been in very good demand since our last, and many large sales have taken place, but no great improvement in price has been manifested. Lead.—There has been a little business done in stamped pig,, at Sa. Rs. 6-14, during the past month; for other descrip tions the market is very dull. Beer.—As is usual at this season of the )ear, there is little or no beer in wood at market. Prices are therefore nominal. The imports last month were 89 hogsheads of Allsopp's. Bottles.—There has been little demand for bottles lately, and prices hare declined further. The quotations are as follow, viz. : London, quarts and pints, 9s. Bd. to 10s. perloo ; Liverpool, 9s. to 9s. 4d. ditto. The imports last month were 6,234 dozen. Exchange.—z,hortly after our last issue the Honourable Company.reduced their rate of purchasing bills from 2s. 2d. to 2s. Id. ; this of course has caused a material change in the general rates ; and by this mail the transactions, although not large, have been at the following, viz. . . agency Bills on London, With shipping documents, ten months' date, 2s. Id. to 2s. lid. ; ditto on France, six months' sight, 2s. lid. to 2s. lid. ; ditto, without documents, s. Id. to 2s. lid. ; Treasury bils, 30days' sight, Is. 'lid. to Is. llid. Freights.—No material alteration has taken place in the rates of freight during the last month—quotations being nearly the same as they were then. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES. To Sell To Buy. Sa. Rs. Sa.

Shares have experienced the decline u ual after the pay merit of dividends and have returned to the quotations ruling before the half-yearly Meeting took place—viz., 2,350 to 2,400 prem. UNION BANK SHARES. In our last we mentioned, that the dividend would be proba bly 8 per cent. It was however ultimately agreed to divide 9 rer cent., which caused inquiry for Shares at advanced prices. Shares upon which dividends have been received may now be quoted at 1,275 to 1,285. Saltpetre—ln our last number we noticed that this article had become very dull of sale, and that prices had receded con siderably. The mail from London of the 4th of December having since arrived, hringing accounts of the dull state of the home markets, would have caused a further decline but for the arrival of six American vessels since our last, which are purchasing freely. Sugar—The accounts received by the last mail, have caused a great dampness in the demand for all descriptions of this im portant staple, but more particularly for the Brown and Khar descriptions, which arc now being manufactured. For fine qualities there continues a fair demand, but of these our market is quite cleared, and in the Basalt- of all descriptions the stock does not exceed 5,000 bags, and in European hands for disposal there may be about double that quantity. The exports last month were heavy, but up to the present time of this month, they are light, and are likely to continue so for the next three or four months. llides of every description have been in good demand during the last month ; good qualities however are very scarce, and such as arrive at n,arkrt are being shipped to London and Liverpool by the owners, as the prices asked, viz. GO Co.'s Rs. p-r corge, for the first quality, cannot be obtained. Horns.—Horns have Leen in good «emand, but operations during the past month have been restrained by the scarcity of the article. i Oil seeds.—Linseed has continued in nt fair ai d a e i m n Ir il. iadt Mustardhroug h • out the month, and prices have b een m Seed and Ted Seed have quitebe n er o i thgh naesglten doinge neglected of late Hemp.— In this article in our last, and we have not heard of any transactions.

IMPORTS FROM EUROPE, &c. White Cotton Piece Goods.—Under this head the only de scription of goods that are at all in demand area ook muslins, mulls, and lappets, but all at very low prices, pticularly the latter description, long cloths, jaconets, and cambrics, are very dull of sale, and prices have receded since our last, particularly for the fir tt mentioned. Printed and Coloured Goods.—We have no change tc notice under this head ; the demand, however, is dull, and prices throughout exceedingly low. The imports last month were, of all kinds, 550 packages. Woollens.—The market has been very quiet since our last, and very few transactions have taken place. The imports last month were, of all kinds, 123 bales. Al tile Twist.—We have had a very dull market for this staple since our last, notwithstanding large sales have taken place, not less than 2,000 bales having been solthince our last, but at re duced prices. Haw silk.--7 he article in the London Mail of the 4th Dec., which arrived a few days before the letters were delivered, statin g that thi s s tapl e w as active, caused several parties to 0,-et ate at rather advanced prices, but so soon as the dull state of the home market and the short deliveries were known, prices again receded, particularly 3ood for the inferior kinds., Silk Piece of Corahs last month -At the reduction in price, noticed in w er were ‘, etransactionsiy large r t g oo e k ; of place, ch o a p n p d ah o s u a r n e d x p b o a r n t! our last, considerable danoes there are none going the receipt of the Dec a em re b l e o r Mail, forward t c o ur G m re a a r t k ß et ri i t i come' low, and prices Rather more business t of which our stoekveehr, ie partieularly for inferior de scriptions,aaisna.gaiSninbece- ccir'sis h t a s ; been done in Coloured Yarn— Rath both orange and red dyes, but, we are sorry to say, at no ad vance in prices. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, APRIL 9, 1811. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Malta Times of the 25th.) MALTA, MARCH 20.—The P. and 0. Company's iron steam packet, Lotus, (John Moody, Commander), is worthy of a particular notice. She is e only thirty-four tons burd n, and twenty-four horse power. She draws only two feet of water. She was built by Messrs. Ditchburn and Mare, of London ; the engines are by John Penn and Son, Greenwich. These engineers and shipbuilders also built the celebrated iron stea mer, the fastest boat in the world, going at the rate of 13 miles an hour !—the Father of the Thames. The engines and boilers of the Letus are of very superior construction, having oscillating cylinders, well known and valued for the exceed ing small space which they occupy, as well as their lightness simplicity and elegance. indeed, the whole construction of this steamer is a miracle of art and mechanical skill. The ' Lotus is, perhaps, the smallest steamer in the world which made so long a voyage at sea. She encountered the dreaded Bay of Biscay, and got safely across ; from Gibraltar she was I towed by the Oriental to Malta ' she hares here shortly for Candia, thence she w ill proceed to Alexandria and the Nile, the place of her destination. On Tuekay noon the Lotus cruised in the Great Harbour, and about its mouth, attracting the attention, and commanding the admiration of every body. She made eight knots an hour ; she went as smooth through the water as a duck, or rather an arrow shot through the wa ter. Outside the harbour the Lotus was saluted by " the monsters of the deep," a shoal of porpoises, who frohcked and gamboled about her prow, reminding one of Venus sailing in ' her shelly car across the briny wave, with all the finny tribes in gay and silvery attendance. The Natives at Syracuse are interdicted from visiting the British ships of war which go over there to water, without applying at the Police-office for a permit. Very few, there fore, go on board, fearing that a mark may be set against their name! 'I he Inconstant and Wasp sailed on the 16th inst. fer Beyrout, the former calling at Syracuse for supply of water. The Implacable will sail for Syracuse to-morrow morning to water, having transferred the supply she brought from thence to other ships in port. The Vanguard, Revenge, Hastings, Hazard, and Weazle, were at Suda, Candia, on the 14th instant. The Hecate is expected shortly from Beyrout, with the remainder of the British force employed in Syria. Th e Eli za b et h , o f H u ll, was d e li ver i ng coals at Marmorice on the 10th inst., and the Maitland, of Malta, was taking in ballast and would proceed to Alexandria. The Apollo troop ship arrived at Corfu on the 28th ult. ftom Cork, with the 97th Regim en t, to reli e ve th e 2 n d B a tt a li on 60th Rifles, which will proceed to Jamaica. The Apollo was to leave Corfu for Malta, shortly, up to the 10th inst. The Carysfort.—lt has been found necessary, after having given her Majesty's ship Carysfort a new plain topmast, in lieu of one shot through at Acre, to take out her bowsprit, in con sequence of having a shot eight inches into the wood, which so weakened the spar that it was found to be very badly sprung. This must have occurred in that heavy gale of wind off Alex andria, although the vessel herself, as we are told, behaved most admirably well, and did not strain a top yarn. The Car} sfort at Acre appears to have had several shot in her hull, part of her standing, and a great part of her running rigging. and sails cut up, and one of her boats shot through in two pieces. But all the repairs aloft being completed the same night, we had never before heard, and should not now have found out if it had not beets for the bowsprit, having been induced to make some inquiry respecting her. The small vtssels, drawing less water, were enabled to get nearer the batteries and consequently suffered most. The Strombuli arrived yesterday from lleyrout the 12th and Marmorice the 13th inst. Commander James J. Stopford and Mr. Beale, late of the Zebra; Lieut.. V. inthrop and Shad well, an4Olessrs. Foley and Hoare, of the Castor, came passen gers in her. The Stromboli fell in with the Vanguard near Cape Matapan on her way to Malta. l'Lac z ON BOARD H.M.S. CASTOR. —The Mediterraneo of the 17th inst. having stated that there is a man on board H. NI. S. Castor about to fall a victim to the plague, we are authorised to contradict this statement in the most absolute manner. Our Correspondent adds—" the man has been quite well for the last fortnight." It is exceedingly injurious that such unfounded statements should get abroad on so perilous a subject, but as far as our ex perience goes we are convinced that the public ace to blame, for when an editor in Malta applies for information he is either insulted, or very imperfect information is given to him.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING rIPERS OF THIS DAY. (From the Globe.) It is nothing more than natural, and in the every-ilav way of business, that the organs of the party who are out of power should find all grapes sour tl-at are plucked by the party who are in—and which the Tory vulpine sagacity had imagined, or feigned, to be out of reach. This is done, however, by the several morning malcon tents " with a difference." The Times is not stupid enough, though the Herald is, to suppose it can suc cessfully dissemble the great advantages procured to this country by the conceded arrangement of the Chinese affair. Tne latter has discovered that there i 3 a very much larger island (Lan-to-oo), to which it infers, we presume, that we should have accorded a preference. No doubt, had such been the case (and Hong-Kong is in ail conscience large enough, besides its great advantages of anchorage, so absurdly depreciated). we should have been told of the lel'y of taking possession of a station embarrassing by its evetit. Tne Times takes a more correct view of the local advantage conceded to us :—" This arrange ment, if buna fide carried into effect, will certainly be most beneficial to our mercantile interests. The si tuation of Hong-Kong is infinitely more convenient for the purposes of trade than that of Macao ; a settle ment formed there will be capable of maintaining itselt independeetly of the Chinese, and the recognition of a territorial right in ,the British Crown, as well as the terror of the British name, will give our countryn ea advantages which were never po, , sessed by the Portu guese in China." It Leine, however, as we have said, a.l in the way of business that holes should be picks.!, or seem to be picked, somewhere in the announce arrangements, the Times affects to find a flaw in the silence upon the question of the opium trade, which ie describes as having neon " the real cause of the war." The cause of the war was the violent spolineion and coercion of British subjects, and the insolent disre &card of the rights of the represeatatives of this country. For reparation of these wrongs, and not for the opium trade, or any other trade, we showed ourselves in arias on the coast of China. It is true that the same con cessions which secure the future rights of our func tionaries will seen; e the advantages which will naturally flow. from those rights to our commerce. And theter ritorial position which we have obtained as' further in. demnity and security, will confer advantages of the most important nature on our commercial interests. (From the Courier.) The Nnn-intrusionists in Scotland are preparing to p'ay their last card. By diet of agitation they have gathered around them a goodly number of slily old women, and, as the Late Dr. Andrew Thomson, of Edinburgh, happily expi eased it, "sillier old teen and if they do net obt on from l'ariiament the recog, nition of their " fundamental principle," as demanded and the iacrifice of the Ministers of Strathbogie, as vic tims on the altar of the Church's independence, they, along with their. congregations, are to secede ! and, being the majority, to break up the Establishment ! Tioasplot is developed in a "Letter to Dr. Cook and the Mo derate Brethren," who, in order to save the Kirk from this terrible calan ity, arc very coolly called upon to sacrifice all the principles that uphold the Refermat - on itstlf ! In our paper of the Ist of March, we warned our readers of this plot, which is now maturing. It is, no doubt, thought " a good plot"—" sin excellent plot ;' but we venture to say, that it will not succeed. Since Dr. Forbes, of Aberdeen, published his " Con sideratiee the points at issue in this Scotch-kirk-controversy ere standing forth in broad relief; anti the contest is receiving into the narrow fitli of civil or spiritual su premacy in this land of Protestant fight and litceity. The issue of this coolest cannot be doubted ; but independent of this we venture to say, that the discoveries that will be made under the search ing ordeel of judicial decisions will astonish " the weak capacities" of our Presb3terian on " the north side of the Tweed" They hive been indulging in a dream of spiritual independence, from which, thanks to their own fully, they are about to be aeakencd with a witness; and if at the Re formations in 1560 and 1638, and at the R :volu tion in 1638, it is found that this dream was ery far from being realized, the chances in its fa vour are wonderftely diminished in 18-11. In the meantime we venture to predict that, whither patronage is to be sacrificed to Non-intrusion, or to what extent the monster is to be muzzled, the Strath. bogie ministers will never be sacrificed to the indepen dence of the Kirk ; and if this is the tenure on which the dominant faction are to remain within the Est.ib lishment, the sooner they secede the bettor. It woull indeed be a pity if the Church of Scotland should fall with them ; but, " Fiat ruat replan." CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Beiare Mr. Baron GURNEY.) Hannah 14'0r: all, 23, was inoicttd for teloniomly caus ing to Mary Ann' Worrall, agod 17 months, bodily injury, with intekt to commit murder. ' Thomas Colville deposed that he was acting landlord of the Duke of York public-hOuse in Chelsea. On the 10th February lat the prisoner canto to the house with a little in her aims,'about 17 or 18 months old. After she had Lout a little time in the home, she threw the e . ,ild on the ground, and some one picked it up, and put it i t) blows ena on rm the h sg4inea' upon which she struck it s on i c severed, and again threw it on the ground, sa)- ing, " You little --, I would not mild having two years for you?" She tl.en seized it by the throat, and the wit oess took the chill from her arms, and held the prisoner until a polio-officer came and took her i..to custody. The police-officer and another uitness were calltd, who corrob3rated this testimony. A surgeon, who was called in at the time of the off , nce, was called to g:ve evidence on the trial, but not answering .o his name, it proceeded without him. Mr. C. PHILI leo, who appeared for the prisoner, said that even with the evidence of the surgeon, the case would only amount to one of assault ; and on that it would not become him to offer any obbervation. The JUDGE, iu summing up, sail that by a recent Act J 1 Parliament, it was in the discretion of the Jury to find a verdict, in such cases as the present, either for a felony, , r if they did not think the evidence sufficient, a common auault. Tne Jury immediately returned a verdict of an assault, Ind the prisoner was sentenced to twelve months' impr'- ionment, and hard labour., Charles Gough, aged 33, was indicted for feloniously sounding John Byrne, a City police constable, with in tent to do him some gresilus bodily halm. The pa culars of the assault have already appeared in The Sun. The house-surgeon at Bartholemew's Hospital, said that the prosecutor had been under his care ever since ti .c Transaction, and that he had known wounds less severe to have proved fatal in other instances. Mr. C. PHILLIPS then Addressed the Jury on behalf of :he prisoner. The LEARNED Jceoa having summed up the evidenc: , , .he Jury returned a verdict, for the common assault, and he prisoner was sentenced to twelve months' imprison neat, with hard labour. NEW COURT. • (Before the RECORDER. ) Robert Parker and Thomas Parmee were indicted for g 6201 tr. weight of sted, value 41. los., tie prr perty of Samuel Adams, their master ; and Henry Bur rnWß was indicted for receiving tie ramp, knowing it to have been stolen., The two prisoners, Parker and Parmee, who had pleaded Not Guilty, requested permission to retract that plea, and pleaded Guilty. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty against Parker and Parmee, and acquitted Burrows. The prosecutor recommended the two convicted prison.. era to the merciful consideration of the Court, and they acre teverally sentenced to six months' imprisonment. SUNDAY TRAVELLING --At the request of a Committee, which, it seems, has been for some time formed in this city fur promoting the better observance of the Sab bath, we publish the address which they have just issued " to the Proprietors and Directors of Railways in Great Britain." We have not time to remark upon it at present, but we must say that their object of closing Railways on Sun. days is, in our opinion, wholly .impracticable, and if practice. ble would be fraught with inconve nience to the p ublic, and be of incalculable irjury to the p oor and middle ciass e z .

" A Bramin is tlic chief of all created beings : the 'world and all in it arc his ; through hini, indeed, other mortals enjoy life ; by his imprecations he could destroy a king, with his troops, elephants, horses, and cars ; could frame other worlds and regents of worlds, and coul.l give being ti new gods and new mortals. A B-tun:n is to be trei:te l with more respect than a king. His life and person are protected by the severest laws in flis world, and the most tremendous denunciatioes for the next. He is exempt from capital punishment even for the most enormous crimes. His offences against other el Isses arc treated with remarkable lenity, whale all offences against him are punished with ten fold severity. " The King must hive a Bramin-for his most confi dential counsellor ; and by Bramins is he to be in structed in policy as %ell as in justice and all learning. The whole judicial authority (except that exercised by the King in person) is in the hands of Bromine ; and although the perusal of the sacred writings is not with held from the two nearest classes, yet the sense of then: is only to be obtained through the exposition of a Bramin. The property of the sacred class is as well protected by the law as its power. Liberality to Bramins is made incumbent on every virtuous man, and is the especial duty of a king. Sacrifices and oblations, and all the ceremonies of religion, involve feasts and presents to the Bramins, and those gifts must always be liberal:; the organs of sense and action, reputation in this life, happiness in the next, children and cattle, are all de stroyed by a sacrifice offered with trifling gifts to the priests. • " If a Sudra sit on the same seat with a Bramin, be is to have a gash made on the part offending. If he advise him about his religious duties, hot oil is to be dropped into his mouth and cars. This is a great practical improvement on Professor Sewell's mere verbal rebukes of the want of implicit acquiescence in his au thority as a teacher. We arc clear for the superior efficacy of hot oil in the mouth and ears. " Under the same penance with some real offences comes giving pain to a Bramin. Saying hush,' or pisb,' to a supe rior, or overpowering a Bramirt in argument, involve each a slight penance.' —Elphinsione's History.

Few of our manufacturers but have sustained heavy losses; and many in the neighbouring towns of Forfar, Kirjiemur, and Dundee, have also suf fered by this nefarious transaction. The cccurrence of such " an untoward event," coupled with the already depressed state of the markets, has had a very hurtful influence upon the manufacturing and commercial interests of the town in general; but we trust that, by a little prudential manage ment on the part of all concerned, matters may still be maintained on a steady footing.—Montrose Review.

GINEERS.-EXPLOSION OF BOILER''' On Tuesday evening last, at the usual weeklY in g • ing,, among o'hers, an abstract of a paper, by Pr."Co'll fatal was read, which the author illustrated by a r boiler 111 apparatus he had there, to show that the botto m was blown away before the top in case of plosion ; or, rather, that the explosive force ree eb , e- d r lower part before the upper, and that therefore tne.'ho sent safety valve was in many cases little bet ter useless. Mr. Josiah Parkes made several highly tot remarks on the Doctor's experiments, and °° th , e' causes of bursting or explosion of boilers r: a of rally. Hextraordinary Ile gave several instant the different effects of explosions , and areeet• ll s s hots there must be different causes -' t o produc e i . e d v.trious effects. Ia some cases the acaideots oceur'i because there was no water, or but little, in the - and in others, because there was too much ; ia because the existing safety-valve was closed in at ' because it was suddenly opened ; and in . sam a , - ths when there was neither water nor steam 'l%OO boiler, nor fire below it. He illustrate) all the se ettl' by examples, too often not only destructive of Pt•P e re * but also of life, to a very great extent. After rc ing to the accident on the Norwich river in; 1811' in which he said was one of those that seemed of the " stock in trade" of all writers en ' ste at boiler explosions, Mr. Parkes spoke of the Stockport (we think he said) which occurred t 1* there was neither fire, water, nor steam preseut. this instance, the stoker had on SaturdaY e ve :o emptied the boiler of its water b knocking 4 t tb plug in the bottom, thereby extingu;ahing the fire eke. same time. He then left the place without havi,g (1- off the plate from the top of the main hole. On ,titi afternoon the unfortunate man went to clean uti; boihr. He took the cover from the main hole, a lantern he had on the top of the boiler, and dese ee d into into it by means of the iron lirlder ; whea. be ,, nearly down he took the light, and brough t it 1014 boiler, and that instant was sent up abou t a 'roll dred yards into the air, and fell through the 4 of the dye-house. The boiler rose marl leer' fell back in its seat. The man was scorched .0 black as a negro." The engineer, wh o eaterca yard about the time, to see that the stoker tale;et work, heard him in the dye house crying L beV let me out ; I am frozen to death." He r io° that night, after telling mwiothfuattel ywabsow p t ass h:rn i open the door, and the poor fellow ran die his own house, which was the Preni and cr all haPPe a Now (said Mr. Parkes), the cause of t i b ; explosion ? It could not have been in the bode , if it were, the force would have acted on all sides equally ; then where was it ? He continue, that7o; many years he had diligently collected the faelsoai tending every explosion he had heard of, na: o alti preparing to put them in such a form 0 5 ,: nf r afford facilities for examination, and he thougn! 'To per to direct the attention of practical o`asiott the facts, that they might arrive at 9ome rev! for the explosion, and in what manner th e 0 1 ! acted. He spoke of an immense number of reant•rroft explosions, and said. that in iron-works it sea , 0 0, that a single drop of water would produce trent,;oo explosive power in this manner :—if in a p uddle a drop of water were placed oa red-b°'d no effect is produced ; but if this drop be preo% the rectal with a stick, teen it explodes with fetc-bloti ficient not only to shatter the furnace, but als° too pot the roof off the buildi n g.
