A Board of Directors, with the Medical Officers, attend daily at- a quarter before Two o'clock. EDWARD BATES, Resident Director. A liberal Commission to Solicitors and Arnts, has acquired a fame that relieves the individual who is honoured by the direction of the sale from the necessity to exert his in ventive faculties, or to g,ve a lengthened des:ription, so long antecedently to the sale, of its prominent features. The public shall be reminded of this initxrtant silo by an announcement more in accordance with its high qualifications in due time; it may suffice for the present to say of THE COLOSSEUM. THAT IT IS THE. MOST CLASSICAL BUILDING THROUGHOUT EUROPE. (This observation is made advisedly.) And this mighty effort of labour and science has secured for Many years AN INCOME OF FIVE THOUSAND A YEAR, without the slightest artificial aid, and it is placed beyond doubt that, in the hands a•f a talented and ingenious possessor, this steady income would in due time be greatly increased. The tenure maybe assimilated to freehold, inasmuch as the ground rent is a mere bagatelle, and the lease of the Crown !lath 70 years still Unexpired.

Dispatches, of which the following is a Copy, have been transmitted by the Governor-General of India, and received at the East India House to-day : FROM 3IAJOR-GENERAL G. POLLOCK, C. 8., COMMANDING IN AFFGUANISTAN, TO MAJOR-GENERAL LUMLEY, ADJUTANT•GENERAL OF TEE ARMY. Head-quarters, Camp Caubul, Sept. 22, 1842. . . _ Sir,—l have tie honour to report, for the information of his Excellency the Commander-in Chief, that, having received information from Bameean that the Europeans, officers and soldiers, prisoners there, had made arrange ments by which they hoped to effect their own liberation, I, at the suggestion of Mohun Loll, with the concurrence of Khan Shereen Khan, chief of the Kuzzilbashes, sanc tioned the speedy departure of 700 of his horse, on the' 15th inst., the day of our arrival here, to meet the party. Some difficulty occurring on the score of money, I advanced 10,000 rupees, which were delivered by Sir 12. Shakespear, who accompanied the Kuzzilbashes. Being apprehensive that attempts would be made to in tercept the prisoners, I detached Major-General Sir rt. Sale with the following troops, viz., her Majesty's 3d Dra goons, Ist Ligh tC avalry, Backhouse's Mountain Train, two companies of her Majesty's 9th Foot, four companies of her Majesty's 13th Light Infantry, Broadfoot's Sappers, Ferris's Jezailchees, 80 Sikh horse, and 160 foot sol diers, under Captain Lawrence, on the 19th inst., to proceed to the Arghundeo pass, and the circumstance proved fortunate, as a delay of twenty-four hours would have enabled Sultan Jan, who was in pursuit, to over take our people. lam happy to state that the whole who were in confinement (as per subjoined roll), with the exception of Captain Bygrave, who is with Mahomed Akbar, arrived in my camp yesterday evening. I cannot conclude without recording my opinion, that to Khan Shereen Khan and Mohun Loll may be attri buted the safety of the prisoners, and I have reason to believe the Chief of the Kuzzilbashes to be a steadfast I adherent to the British Government.—l have, &c., GEORGE POLLOCK, Major-General, Com manding in Affghanistan.

POLLOCK, 0.8., COMMANDING IN AFFGHANISTAN, TO MAJOR-GENERAL LUMLEY, ADJU TANT-GENERAL OF THE ARMY. Sir,—l have the honourCtap. Cub omfo rwaardual, copyO 1, 1842. of aletter from Major-General M'Cnskill, K.H., commanding the fbree which I detached under his command, for the pur pose of dispersing the enemy collected in the vicinity of Chnrekar, as stated in my letter of the 28th instant. The success of the Major-General's operations against Istalif is most gratifying, that place being considered by the Affghans us totally inaccessible to our troops. I have, &c. G. POLLOCK, Major-General, Commanding in Affghanistan. FROM MAJOR•GENERAL M`CASKILL, K. 11., COMMANDING DETACHMENT IN KONISTAN, TO CAPTAIN • PONSONI3Y, • A.SI,OTANT ADJUTANT-GENERAL. Camp Istalif, Sept. 30, 1842. Sir,—l have the satisfaction to acquaint you, for the information of Major-Gen. Pollock, C. 8., that the troops under my command yesterday made themselves masters of the strong and populous town of Istalif, totally defeat ing the numerous levies collected for its defence, under the infamous Ameen Oolla Khan Loguree, Khaojie Aineer Kotwal, Ilazin Khan (an assassin of Sir Alex ander Burnes), Hazir Alce Khan, lihuleefa Ibrahim, anp many other chiefs of Caubnl andkohistan. The Major-General is aware that the force detailed below* was placed at my disposal for operations in these valleys on the 25th ; the two brigades 1 - brined a junction near Khouja llawash on the 26th, moved to an encamp t=ent near Zimuree on the 27th, and pitched their tents within four miles of this place on the 28th. The same evening I reconnoitred the enemy's position ;:it is impos sible to conceive ground naturally stronger. The town of Istalif, consisting of masses of houses and forts, is built on the slope of a mountain, in the rear of which are yet loftier eminences, shutting in a defile which leads to Turkistan, and in no way can this place of abode of 15,000 people be approached but by surmounting ranges of hills, separated by deep ravines, or traversing by narrow roads its gardens, vineyards, and orchards, fenced in with strong enclosure walls ; the whole of them, with the mountain side and tops of the houses, were occupied by Jeznilchees, and the strongest proof is afforded that • the enemy after this disi osition considered the place un- assailable, by their having retained within the town the wives and children not only of the inhabitants, but of thousands of refugees from Caubul. The observations which I was enabled to make under a sharp jczail fire and the report of Major Pottinger in duced me to determine to assault the next morning the right of the enemy's extensive position, as it was there that I could hope to bring the artillery most effectively into battery ; arrangements were made with this view. The troops were formed into two columns of attack and re serve ; Brigadier Tulloch's brigade and the mountain train composed the right ; Brigadier Stacy's and Capt. Blood's battery and the 18-pounders the left ; these were supported by the third column under Major Si monds, her Majesty's 41st, consisting of a wing of his regiment and the Cavalry under Major Lockwood; Capt. Christie's corps protected the baggage. The troops moved soon after daylight, and, traversing the plain in perfect order, passed nearly from the left to the right of the enemy's position. Our light troops and guns repressed the occasional atta cks of their Jezailchees from the gardens, who were numerous and most audacious; but when the column arrived in front of the village Is millah, I resolved to make a combined attack on thi s point. Brigadier Tulloch's brigade assailed its left, and Brigadier Stacy, making a longer detour, attacked the right. cannot express in adequate term s m y a d m i rat i on of the style in which the former column, covered by skir mishers, rushed upon theabgerasortyadd,esnro9sotfihelslEedoswoatip,tphtebrsbeo,2ld6vthaiendicdasmtk.iiivtlie-1 I fu n l fa m n a t i r - y k , sm a e h n d .

The enemy were driven from them, and pursued with a ra pidity which left no time to rally, and a singular spec:- tack was then presented in the escape up the mountain side of the women and children from the places to which no interception was offere d ; but as detached parties of the beaten Affghans still occupied some very lofty heights, the mounta in train ascended pathway, and dispersed the fugitives by its effective fire. O ur reserve was now established on the lower heights, and the whole of the place, filled with property of every description, much of it plundered from our army in 1841, was in the hands of our force ; two guns, brass field-pieces, were also taken, and one of them was seized with such promptitude that its captor, Lieute nant Elinherst, her Majesty's 9th Foot, turned its fire upon the fugitives with some effect. I directed the town to be set on fire in several places, after taking out various supplies which might be useful to our troops, and the work of demolition is still proceeding under the direction of Major Saunders, of the Engineers. Our loss has been trifling, for the advance of our officers and men was too rapid and decisive to allow of the sharp fire of the enemy telling much upon them, and, deceived by the direction of the reconnaissance of the 28th, the Affghans had ex pected the attack on their left, and posted their guns an d the elite of their force in that quarter. I have now the pleasing task of expressing the amount of my obligati ons for their exertions in the field to Brigadiers Tulloch and Stacy commanding brigades and columns ; to Lieu tenant-Colonel Taylor, K. 11., her Majesty's 9th Foot -, Major Huish, of the 26th Native Infantry ; and Captain Broadfoot, of the Sappers, com man di ng the corps on the right, which bore the brunt of th e act i on to Major Simonds, her Majesty's 41st Foot, comman di ng the reserve ; to Captain Backhouse, commanding the co a m bi m y an a d id in ed g the by mo untain train ; and to Captain Blood, v lo i od a , s , : f -pounders ; the la 9 Lieutenant Terry.

Commanding Artillery with the Force. TRADE BETWEEN RUSSIA AND CHINA. As whatever may tend to throw light on the direc tion taken hitherto by the foreign commerce of Chins cannot fail to possess additional interest under actual_' circumstances, the following statement of the trade carried on with Russia, derived from official sources. and not before published, to the latter date at least,. maybe acceptable to commercial and statistical reader'. It is generally taken for granted that the whole of the commercial transactions between Russia and China. are operated at the great annual gathering of the merchants and dealers of the two nations at Kiaktar. at the southern central extremity of the government. of Irkoutelt, part of what is officially termed the kingdom of Siberia, and confining with the Chinese frontiers and vast wastes of Mongolia. it will be found, however, that a traffic of growing, though at present of no great extent, has gradually been established, however indirectly, along other parts of the Siberian line, and by sea in the ports of Southern Russia. According to ancient and special compact between the two empires, however, the traffic, which is strictly limited by conditions to one of simple barter, or mutual interchange of com modities, from the liquidation or facilitating of which all monetary agency, whether of gold, silver, or paper instruments of value are carefully excluded on each side, should be strictly limited to Kiakta. Thus the singular spectacle is presented of a trade by pure barter, so that whatever increase or diminution of de mand exists on the one side must necessarily be balanced as nearly as possible by a corresponding movement on the other, so far as the authorised in tercourse of that particular and privileged spot. It will be perceived that the exchange imports from China consist almost wholly of tea. The total values of exports and imports by, way of Kiakta are thus given in official documents for the two years 1839 1840 respectively:— 1839. 1840. Exports by way of Kiakta Silver Roubles. into China 2,262,416 2,287,222 Imports into, from China .2,474,422 2,493,669 For the better intelligence of the Russian values referral to, it may be added that the silver rouble is equal to 37d. sterling, and the Russian pood to nibs. avoirdupois as generally calculated, although in reality nearly 14 ounce over. A large proportion of the export exchanges of Russia consists of furs and skins, partly the produce of Russia herself, and partly derived from the traffic with the Nomadic tribes of the steppes on the fron tiers of the Governments of Orenburg and Siberia. The quantities and value of Russian manufactured goods which enter into the total amount of these ex ports, and the nature of which will be of more in terest here, are thus given : Silver Roubles. Of cotton fabrics for 1840 Of woollens 1,241,133 arschines of the value of 984,403 Total so that they constituted more than one-half the value of the total exports. These figures, so far as woollens, show an increase over the similar exports of the year before, though not of much importance. Silver Roubles. 1839—export 1,212,364 arschines of woollens, value Bnt, as compared with 1830, the export of wool lens shows a considerable progress. In that year the quantity exported did not exceed 144,441 arschines, of the value of 364,056 silver rs. The Chinese imports into Kiakta were composed almost exclusively of teas. Thus in Poods. Silver Roubles. 1839, tea in chests 141,997f value 2,287,112 tea in brick or as some times called, tile tea 64,6981 1840, tea in chests 149,731 tea in brick .... Thus of the total value of Chinese exchange imports in 1839 of Teas entered for And of the imports of 1840 of Teas for Exclusive of the entries by Kiatka, however, im ports of minor quantities took place through other quarters. 110,812 - 2,303,859 110,394 through the country of the Kirghises and other tribes along the line of Siberia, in roods.

' Silver Roubles. In 1839 1840 It is to be observed that a decline in the price of teas equal to about 4 per cent. occurred at the market of 1840 as compared with 1839. The following ,re turns exhibit the progress of the imports and con sumption of tea, starting with 1830 : Roubles Assignati on. In 1830 total quantity 154,554 1 v al ue 6 262 0 poods and 161 chests , 28 Tea in Chests. In Brick. 1836 ... 136,229 poods 79,455 8,623,108 1837 135,809 58,161 8,111,043 1838 ... 129,215 71,937 7,864,389 1839 ... 143,842 66,0311 9,077,848 v l a s lut 9 s s hlre — represented apparently, as 66,426 8,894,438 with .preceding amounts in respect of the compared The e l x B c 4 e os excess same values, arises from the fact, as will be noted, that these values are given in rouble assignations, or paper money, and before in silver rouble3. Until 1840, the financial accounts of the empire were kept and reckoned exclusively in the paper, or rouble as signation money; in that year an order was issued to calculate and keep them in future according to the silver rouble standard. The relation which each value bears to the other is however readily rendered ; one silver rouble is equal to 31- roubles assignation, that is 350 roubles assignation go to 100 silver roubles. The tea in brick, that is, made up in the shape of bricks, is of a very inferior description, com pounded of all sorts of refuse tea mixed up with other herbage and caked together. It sells commonly for about two silver roubles the pood , and is exclusivel y destined for sale and consumption a mon g the nomadic tribes in the southern provinces of Russia. From the immense distance, and the consequently heavy charges of carriage, with interests of outlay and profit cor responding, the nearly 24- millions value in silver roubles of teas imported by Kinkts. and Siberia, is on arrival for sale at the great fair of Nijny-Isfov gored, converted into a value realised equal to 2i times the amount, say between six and seven millions ,of roubles. The trade is almost entirely carried on I for account of the enterprising merchants of Moscow, and its profits serve greatly to enrich them.—lferald. CHINESE PROGRESS.—We have heard it , stated on authority on which we can rely, that a surgeon to one of the principal London hospitals has been applied to to receive a young Chinese into his house to teach him be art gnd mystery of surgery.
