COP: OF A LETTER FROM MAJOR SKINNER, TIER MA- J::STY'S 31ST FOOT, TO CAPTAIN PONSONRY, ASSIST ANT-ADJUTANT-GENERAL. Bootkhak, Sept. 14. • have 'the honour to report, for the information Of the Major-General commanding the army in Aff gh:ioistan, that I ascended the heights above the Tezcen vniley, in front of our camp, with the following de thelenent :—One company of her Majesty's 9th Foot, cue company of her Majesty's 13th Light Infantry, one company of her Majesty's 31st Foot; one company of her Majesty's 26th Native Infantry, one company of her Majesty's 35th Native Light Infantry, one conarany of h or Majesty's 33d Native Infantry,so Broad foot's Sapper* and 50 Jezailehees,—on the afternoon of the 12th inst., and occupied the ridge till daylight next morning. From a eommunicati(in with Major-General Sir IL Sale; G.C.B , I learned that I was to take the high peaks to the right of my position, and, having driven the enemy from them, continue to operate among the lower hills to the head of thi Huft Kotul, on the right flank of the a'hiinced guard of the army. These peaks were occu pied in some force by the enemy, who was, however, ea'sily driven froM 'them and cleared away to the higher hill; on my right. I ascended the first peak, which, although the way was steep, was not very difficult, in tTa small columns ; the first, the companies of her Ma jety's 9th and 26th Native Infantry under Captain Bor ton; of the 9th Foot ; too second under Lieutenant Sayers, of the 31st, composed of the two companies of her Meiesty's 31st Foot and 33d Native Infantry, covered by the Sappers and Jezailehees under Lieutenant tirr. I detached Lieutenant Sinclair, of the 13th Light Infantry, with the company of his regiment and one of the 35th Native Infantry, to the higher peak on the right hand, and supported him by Lieutenant Orr and th7.l.Sappers (after I had possession of the first he. ht), who ascended by a steep ridge that connected theom. Lieutenant Sinclair attained the summit of the 101 l without loss, driving the enemy away, and held it until the main column of advance came in sight, when be lel his column on my right over the hills at the base oi . the higher mountains. The height I gained d escen d s to. the high road by a s u c cess i on of smal], peaks, each connected by a narrow ridge ; the enemy occupied with small parties each of these peaks, and was driven in sue - eossion from them. Captain Burton, at the head of a payee of the 9th Foot, made a gallant charge upon a eee oeYly posted party of the enemy, and drove them tvv:1:1; he showed a great deal of boldness, however, inaf!P repeated attempts to recover his ground, tak hevz dyantage of the necessarily slaw advance of t h e sio4porting parties from the steep arr:l difficult nature of tle!. hills. After I gained all the peaks, and the enemy ii fallen back, I continued parallel to the main column ov4 the hills to some distance beyond the top of the .Notul. Considering the great number that at inc tine opposed me until the appearance of the main column ,IrW them off, my loss was not great, while the enemy censiderably.

Having accomplished all I wished, the troops returned to their original position in, excellent order, covered by the very effective fire of the guns directed by Captain Alexander, and by a company of the 35th Regiment of Light Infantry, the latter ordered forward for the pur pose. _ THE SILK-WORMS AND MUL BERRY-TREES OF AFFGHANISTAN. ROYAL ASIATIC SOCIETY.—At the ordinary meet ing held on Saturday, Dr: Royle read an interesting Report forwarded by the East India Company, from Captain Hutton, on the culture of silk in Candahar. After some remarks upon the history of the introduction of the silk-worm into Europe, the Report referred to the importance of this trade a few years since at Herat, where, however, during the last invasion of this place by the Persians, the whole of the mulberry-trees in the vicinity had been destroyed by the besiegers. This had directed some attention to the facilities which Candahar af forded for the supply of silk to a very considerable ex tent, and a good criterion of the profits which might I result from its culture might be obtained from the re sults in Affghanistan. It was estimated that there were 1,316,300 eggs in one seer, the produce of 30,936 moths, which required 4,000 muibery trees for .the support of the worms. A profit of nearly 100 per cent. was obtained from the growth of silk in Affghanistan, and this might be in creased in Candahar by the use of machinery. In Candahar there were many tracts of land particularly eligible for the growth of the mulberry tree ; and whilst the culture of silk would afford a good revenue to the Government, it would also furnish a profitable em ployment for thousands of persons who are now suffer ing under the accumulated and aggravated evils of want, poverty, and misrule. The eggs of the silk worm in Bengal are hatched three times in the year, whilst those - at Caneaar, and in the south of Europe, have but one crop annually. In Affghanistan the eggs are hatched under the arm-pits of persons, or in bags placed round the body; and' the whole of the period required for the attention of the worm is two months, during which time a large number of the poorer classes find constant employment at a profitable remuneration. Some interesting, observationS were made in connexion with the subject of the Report, in which the recent destruction of several mulberry plan tationi during the progreSs of the British troops in India was much regretted, as striking at the root of a very important staple article of commerce. As the enemy showed no disposition to molest us fur ther, and the whole of the baggage having entered the Pass, the Horse Artillery and Dragoons were permitted to commence their march, but, before the latter had filed off, the enemy brought two guns to bear upon our posi tion, which obliged me to place the remainder of the cavalry under cover of the high ground in the vicinity: These guns fortunately did no harm, and were soon aft, r either withdrawn by the enemy or silenced by the fire of round shot from Lieutenant Douglas's 9-pounder, ably erected by that officer and by Captain Lawrence, poli tical agent, commanding the Sikh contingent, who hand somely volunteered his services on the occasion. After allowing the main column and baggage to get well forward in the pass, I directed the remainder of the cavalry to enter, and followed with the infantry, the dif ferent parties of which gradually retired on the posts I had previously occupied, the enemy's infantry closing in and opening a heavy fire, which continued till we reached the top of the pass, a distance of three miles ; and, although I was compelled to hold my ground near the top of the pass for a long time, to admit of the guns and baggage passing over, I am happy to say that the enemy, though he pressed our several posts very warmly, did not then, or at any other time, obtain the slightest ad vantage, and at length desisted hem molesting us, which enabled me to re=form the troops and continue my march towards my camp, where I arrived about S o'z:tuck P.m., with all the stores and baggage, except a few bads of grain ; also some camels and bullocks, unable to proceed, which were destroyed on the road, agreeably to orders. My best thanks are due to the officers and men en gaged, both European and native, for their cheerful en durance of fatigue under an intensely hot sun, and for their gallant bearing when in contact with the enemy ; the whole seeming animated with one and the same spirit, which enabled them to overcome difficulties of no ordinary nature, highly creditable to British sol diers and especially so to the Bengal Sepoys. I feel it also just to notice the useful assistance afforded by the men of the Sikh contingent, under Captain Lawrence, who took their full share of duty in the valley of Tezeen, and in defending the different posts in the pass. Accompanying I have the honour to forward a return of the killed and wounded, which I rejoice to observe is not so heavy as might have been expected from the na ture.of the operations. I have, &c., A. F. RICHMOND, Lieutenant-Colonel, 33d Regiment of Native Infantry, Commanding the Rear Guard. P.S. On reaching the top of the Huft Kotul pass, it was reported to Captain Lawrence, commanding the Sikh contingent, that Sirdar Akbar Khan was present in the Tezeen valley when the troops charged his cavalry.

The inhabitants and frequenters of the Court re mark that there has been for some time past an , extra ordinary c h ange i n th e h a bi ts an d temper of Louis ' Philippe. He is subject to frequent attacks of debility and acute pains in the head. Formerly he slept easily, whether in his carriage when he went to Neuilly and St. Cloud, and even in his billiard-room, notwith standing the noise m a d e b y th e players. Now he is afflicted with a continual difficulty of sleeping, which is become insupportable to him. When by chance he does sleep he has painful dreams. He breathes labo riouely ; inarticulate words come from his lips. His features are contracted; large drops of perspiration fall from his forehead ; and he awakes suddenly pale and overcome. If this state of Louis Philippe cause uneasiness to the inmates of the palace, who owe their position to his Goverment, they do not experience less surprise at seeing the profound change which his manners have undergone. Everybody knows what efforts he used to make to be polite. He re ceived ladies with a courtesy which reminded one of his early youth. At present visitors are an annoy ance to him ; he receives them coldly ; and those ladies who had an audience on the same day, left the Palace struck with the icy reception that they had experienced. Louis Philippe, who formerly was so fond of conversation, scarcely speaks now. His voice, which for the last three or four years has been broken and rather tremulous, is sometimes so inaudible that to catch what he says one must approach very near to his person. The force of habit is such that he does not cease to enrich with notes, reflections, and anec dotes, the voluminous volumes of manuscripts which are the treasures of his memory. These contain ob servations which are very piquante upon the principal persons of the age, and particularly those who have been Ministers since 1830. The hand writing of these manuscripts is very neat and plain, and the most careful punctuation is observed. But for some time past Louis Philippe feels fatigue and difficulty in writing. Ile still, however, preserves the same degree of neatness, and a few days ago was much annoyed because a blot of ink • had fallen on one of his notes. This Prince has re tained the habit which he acquired in England, of making his tea. He takes a great deal of it, and for some weeks past tea has been almost his only nourish ment lt is easy to perceive that this SINGAPORE. (From the Straits Messenger, Sept. 20.) MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTEL LIGENCE. OPIUM.-Our private advices represent the state of the opium market to be very flattering, prices having risen, and the demand for the drug was rather animated. A large quantity exported in the Rob Roy from this port had met with a quick sale at highly remunerating prices, and several orders for the purchase of opium for that market are expected. Since our last issue the market has materially changed for the better. In the early part of this week a sale of 10 chests of Benares was effected at 510 dollars to 515 dollars cash. On the 17th the drug rose higher, and a further sale of 15 chests of Benares at 575 dollars to 580 dollars was effected, but immediately after it rose to 595 dollars, at which rate a further sale of 12 chests, all for cash, is reported. The price for Benares may now bo quoted at 600 dollars ; and in consequence of the recent accounts from China, and the expectation of several orders by the Anonyma, which vessel is daily looked for, we must expect . to see prices advance still higher, should no supplies arrive from Calcutta in the interim. There is scarcely a chest of Patna in the place. Our own market still continues without activity fur all descriptions of British goods, but the approaching Bugis season may effect some alteration for the better. ALE.—Scarcely a single cask of good. in the place, ard a moderate importation would realise our highest quota tions. Prince is agitated by a lively solicitude for all that is attached to the future destiny of hiS dynasty. During the first years of the Revolution of July, when one of the actors in that (1789) came to visit him, Louis Philippe would hasten to say, `Ah, my dear General, (or my dear comrade,) how many many things have passed in half a century ! H ow ti me qua li f i es ideas ! The dreams o f our you th were on l y madness. ' And the visitor wa s , o f cours e, expected t o con f orm to his opinions. Since the death of the Duke of Orleans, they no longer talk at the Palace of the calamities of anarchy, of the absurdity of a monarchy surrounded by republican institutions, and of the necessity of giving force to the action of the Govern ment, &c. Other ideas besiege the mind of Louis Philippe. Ha - first, his only question,_ is as to wh a t is thought o f him and of M. de Nemours. At Court all allusion to - the late Duke of Orleans is in terdicted, lest the recollection of. his good qualities should give birth to unpleasant comparisons. Above all, it is forbidden to talk of the Princess Helena. She is thought to have too much sense, and she is ac cused of being constantly desirous of appearing be fore the public. It was because she had too much mind and judgment, that the Chambers were not al lowed to grant the Regency to her; for it is supposed that, with a strong mind a nation would be ill go verned, which, it is said, would he more tranquil if it had less. As to the interior of St. Cloud, it is sad and monotonous. M. de Nemours appears to have his mind constantl y -. brooding over something, and says nothing. • Marie Amelie is resigned. Madame Adelaide works at tapestry, and hardly speaks to the Princess Clementine, who is her companion. The as • pect of happiness and prosperity, which once sur rounded the Orleans family, is altogether changed." DESTRUCTION OF A LARGE STEAMER BY FIRE.. The following has been received at Lloyd's :-- " New Orleans, October 12.—The ship Hero, Capt. Ensor, master, which arrived here yesterday, from Havannah, reports that on Thursday last, at about one o'clock in the morning, shay were surprised at observing the reflection of an extensive conflagration in the horizon. They immediately made all sail in the direction whence it proceeded, when, after going going ten or twelve miles, they discovered it to be a vessel on fire. Upon coming up to her, at about seven o'clock. she proved to be a very large ship—un questionably a steamer. The fire by that hour had almost consumed the deck, the masts had faller overboard, and she was rapidly burning to the water's edge. They cruised round the wreck for an hour or two, till she went down, which took place almost instantaneously. Upon first coming up, no person appeared on board, nor was any boat about. They, however, saw a bark bearing away to the westward, which it was supposed must have received the crew and passengers. From the mark of an anchOr, which was hanging at the cathead, and the appearance of several spars which were overboard, they judged the unfortunate steamer to be English." The.. New Orleans Bulletin of the 12th of last month contains a paragraph confirmatory of th le above. TEE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 23, 1842. The gaoler then introduced Mr. John Wilson, who cut rather a dashing appearance. There was much neatness in his attire and he was co v er e d w ith a goo d Mackintosh, h e ld his head up, which is a dark one, and spoke with an air of confidence and with volu bility. Mr. R. Harris, who was alluded to in the evidence just given, stated that he knew nothing of either of the prisoners, and that his chambers had been robbed. Mrs Check, the wife of the first witness, stated that she and her husband were in charge of the chambers. She had seen Mr. Wilson frequently, perhaps three or four times a day, go up stairs to the offices as softly as possible. On the day Mr. Harris's parcel was lost she met him coming out of that gentleman's office, where she th oug ht h e h a d b een upon business. The LORD MAYOR—And you say, Mr. Check, that when Mr. Wilson saw you in the street he shunned you ? Mr. Cheek—The instant he saw me and a lit tle girl who was with me, and who pointed him out as the man who had been about the offices, he went off quickly, and upon being pursued took to his heels. I had Mr. Williams in custody at the same time: The LORD MAYOR—WeII, Mr. Wilson, pray how do you get your living? Mr. Wilson—l am an in dep2ndent man, my Lord. The LORD MAYOR—So you look certainly; but we can't always depend upon appearance. Where do you live ? Mr. Wils?n—ln the Kingsland-road. The LORD MAYOR—Whereabouts ? I don't wish to mention, as a respectabl e man c an h ave no w i sh to have himself published under such circumstances. The_Loito MAYOR--If you are a respectable man, you can have no objection to give us a proof of that fact. Mr. Wilson—l have no objection to tell you in confidence. The LORD MAYOR—I shall not communicate con fidentially with you, What have you to say to this charge ? Mr. Wilson—l deny that I ran at all. I certainly called at the chambers two months ago, and I met the lady (Mrs. Check) upon the stairs, but I was not coming out of M r . H arr i s ' s o ffi ces at the time. I know nothing of any parcel or any robbery. The LORD MAYOR—Mr. Wilson, your name is not Wilson. Mr. Wilson—lt is not, my Lord. The LORD MAYOR—I know your face well. Mr. Wilson—You do know me, your Lordship. The LORD MAYOR—Why did you run away if you had nothing to fear ! Mr. Wilson—That's all a mis take. I walked on in the usual way. A policeman—He ran so fast, my Lord, that I bad some difficulty in catching him.—(Laughter.) The LORD MAYOR—You must bring some one here Mr. Wilson to speak of your ch arac t er ? Mr. Wilson—Oh, certainly I shall. Will your Lordship just allow the officer to walk with me a few streets off, and I will soon find a friend ? The LORD MAYOR—No, no. You've given us one run already to-day.—(Laughter.) Mr. Wilson and the other prisoner then sent for friends, but nobody appeared to speak of either, and the Lord Mayor said he should remand them both till to-morrow (this day), when, perhaps, a numerous body of friends who might read the newspapers, would attend to give testimony as to their deserts. A young Frenchman, named Victor Du Temple, was charged with having defrauded Miss Borain, of No. 26, Clement's-lane. Ernest Rivieri, a waiter at the house, stated that the prisoner came to the house, said he had j us t ar rived from Fra nce , ordered hisdinner and a bed, and mentioned that it was his intention to bring his lug gage, as soon as possible, to the house. After having received the accommodation required, to the amount of 7s. 6d., he said he had no money, and endeavoured to escape, but was pursued and apprehended. Tbe LORD MAYOR asked the prisoner what he had to say ? Victor—lt is all true, sare. The LORD MAYOR—Why did you do this trick ? Victor—l was hungry, sare l and I had no money. The LORD MAYOR—Where is your passport ? Victor—l never had any. I came here, sare, to see the country, from Boulogne. The LORD MAYOR—I suppose you came to see how long you could do John Bull ? Victor (evidently not understanding the question)—Yes, sare. The waiter said that such was the constant practice. Tbe LORD MAYOR—How long have you been in London ? Victor—Three weeks, sare. The LORD MAYOR—And you have satisfied your hunger in this way since that time. Victor—Yes, sare. The LORD MAYOR—Then you must. go to prison till we hear more of you. BO W - ST.RE.E T. A respectable-looking boy named John Watson, was charged with stealing an opera-glass, the property of his master, Gatoni Burgoni, jewel case-maker. The prosecutor, a foreigner, stated, that the boy h a d been in hi s serv i ce as errand boy, and had taken an opportunity of stealing the article in question from the shop. His mother had heard of the matter, and she immediately sent down to the prosecutor six shil lings, at the sam e ti m e, s t a ti ng t h at the b oy should work out the rest. The boy had, in the mean time, been taken into custody. Ile agreed to th e mo th er ' s proposal, a n d t oo k the six shillings, and he, therefore did not wish to press the charge. Mr. JARDINE said, that as the prosecutor was a foreigner, he probably was not aware of the law with respect to the act he had done. He had, in the true meaning of the act, compounded a felony. The prosecutor said he did so because the boy was so young, c. , nd because his parents were so respectable. Mr. JARDINE—And, in doing so, you have rendered yourself liable to be transported for 14 years, and if you had not been a foreigner ' I should have pl ace d you whe re th e b oy now stands. The prosecutor said he was certainly ignorant of the law. Mr. JARDINE ordered the money to be given back to the mother of the boy; and then he wished to know if the prosecutor intended to pursue the charge. The prosecutor gave back the money, and said he did not wish to press the charge against the boy. Mr. JARDINE then ordered tb e boy to be discharged, directing his mother to take strict charge of him, as he had' no doubt that the be .y had got amongst bad company. CLERKEN P7ELL. John William TValter was charged with fraudu lently assuming 'the character of inspector of police, and thereby obtaining admission into several houses. From the evidence, it appeared that on the previous night, at about twelve o'clock:, the prisoner came up 'to the constable on duty in Brighton-street, King's cross, and represented himself as an inspector of police of the N division. He said he-vas in search of a woman who had robbed a gentleman of money and valuables. The policeman accom paniei him, and they searched the Duke of Wellington, Marquis Wel lesley, and Silver Cross, searching- in each for a girl whom he called "Fair Fanny." The proprietor of the latter home supposing him to be what he really was, gave him into eustody. The prisoner gave his occupatio n and address as "Plumber, York-place, Barnsbary --park, Islington."

GLOBE.—We return to the subject of the pro mised, or threatened, importation of American wheat via Canada, having found, on looking back to the recent debates in the Canadian Parliament on that subject, confirmation of the views which we have already presented to our readers. We find that, in the Committee on the Bill for imposing the duty on American wheat, Mr. Harrison, one of the Government officials in the province ; stated that there had been further instructions received from the Colonial-office, since the published dispatch of Lord Stanley, stating the wishes of the Home Go vernment that a duty on American wheat shOtild be imposed at the Canadian frontier. Accordiugly.the Governor sends a dispatch to the Provincial Parlia ment proposing the measure "in obedienee to .the wishes" of °the Home Government. Coupling this 'ex press intimation with Lord Stanley's dispatch of the 2d March, in which the imposition of such duty was stated as a sine qua non , preliminary to th e f ar th er reduction of duties on anadian (American) wheat in this country, it is impossible to avoid the con clusion that the Home Government stands still mere distinctly pledged to that farther reduction than even appeared on the face of Lord Stanley's dispatch. it appears that the Act of the Canadian Parliament was . adopted on an ex p ress recommendation from the Home Government, following on Lord Stanley's dispatch, which had held out hopes of ad mission at a nominal duty here, in case such an Act should be adopted. It would seem, then, that there is no loophole left ; that an express pledge can be pleaded by Canada, as having afforded the sole motive which could have induced her to tax American wheat at her own frontier. The tax has been imposed by Canada, in consequence of that pledge having been given. The measure would not have been passed so quickly, but from the necessity which was urged by the official men for passing the, measure during the recent session of the Canadian Legislature, or the Home Govern ment would not be able to carry out their pledge during the ensuing session of the Imperial Parlia ment. Lord Stanley, in his dispatch, took credit with the Canadians for the push downwards which the present Government were making in the sliding scale, as regarded Canadian wheat. As a pre-requisite condition to a farther push down wards, he pointed out . the imposition o f a d u t y by the Canadians themselves. We have shown that subsequent instructions to the Governor- General expressly recommended that imposition. The condition has'be2n fulfilled, and the Canadians have thereby entitled themselves to an equivalent reduction ere—that is to say, t o a d m i ss i on at a nominal duty. Such a relinquishment of Imperial duties, on such a condition, the Kingston Chronicle (Canadian) remarks j as unprecedented. "This is the first time," it says, "that the Imperial Government has given up-to a co lony the duties it thinks proper to impose in England on colonial imports, for the regu l a ti on o f i ts own trade." We have already pointed out to the landed Corn-law Leaguers that this is a step towards - the in evitable result of an open corn trade with America —a main bugbear of their apprehensions, during the discussions of last session. STANDARD.—The addition which we are this day able to make to the mass 'of Oriental news pre sented in yesterday's paper will afford to our readers all the information that can be obtained, and nearly all that can be desired, as to the triumphant progress of the British arms in the East. Had any one had the ;power to execute a wish, formed by his own mind upon the most careful consideration, he could scarcely, if the wisest of men, have varied in circumstances the actual termination of the wars in China and Affghanistan. At first most of us would desire that the subjects in dispute had been arranged by' negotiation alone ; but besides that the perfidy of our antagonists must render of little value any arrangement secured only by diplomatic guarantees, the prevailing character of the East renders the contest of diplomacy as important in influence as the contest of arms, and, as respects the moral consequence, -a contest if un: ,e av , o n u a r ; b a le hu t s o e h t h o e n e l s v t or i d n , en t . he T h h e e rois g m eniu o s f , m an o d s , t desperate treachery is at this day as much respected in Asia as they were in southern Europe in the days of Pope Al exan d er the Sixth and "edinann(di the Catholic"—as muc h respected as the valour r and skill of William 111., M ar lb orough, and Nelson, have been with us in a later age. 'Whatever diplomati c arrangement could be made would probably be to our disadvantage, would certainly be represented as such ; and in a part of the world where trickery and fraud are prized as the highest accomplishments, would give to our antagonists the augmentation of power that always follows an opinion of success. Again, we might hastily desire that the enemy had yielded without resistance : but here, too, the THE, PRESTON GUILD ROBBERY.—It will be recol a much of its lected, that at the late Preston Guild, a gentleman of would take from such treachery and artfulness of the submissionoriental character the name of Marquise, a manufacturer in Lancashire, submission had been made from policy, not from an value to the victors ; it would be thought that the and who was formerly a foreman in the employ of the late Sir Robert Peel (father of the Premier), was overbearing necessity, and the opinion of the ulterior robbed of his pocket-book, containing bank-notes to power of those who made it might remain unshaken. the amount of 0 ,000/. and upwards.

THE QUEEN'S :VISIT TO WALIIER CASTLE. WALMEN, MONDAY EvENINo.--The weather this day has been exceedingly rough, wet, and disagree able, with a change of wind to the south-west, con sequently her Majesty's visit to Ramsgate has been again put oft The reports as to her Majesty's stay here are so various and cont ra di c t ory th a t i t is hardly worth while recording them. It is our opinion, however, from the sources of in formation we have an opportunity of consulting, that the Queen will not go to Brighton from hence (indeed we may say this is now certain), but that she will proceed from here direct to Windsor. From one week to three is reported as the period her Majesty will yet remain at Walmer Castle. Her 'Majestyhas not left the Castle all day, nor has Prince Albert taken his usual ramble on the beach. Viscount Sydney left Walmer Castle yesterday. Lord Hardwicke arrived at the Castle this morn and has succee d ed Lord Sydney as Lord in ing, Waiting. There are no additions to the Royal dinner list to day. Her Majesty convers d with Captain Pring, of on the appearance,er, p eales c s e t e r o d; ?;)-. and compli the Thunderer, on the bench yesterday, Dol l e s r s , h ‘ i ' p ied with me i n ja te st d h night, im each other in illuminations in celebration ' of the birth day of the Princess Royal. About six o'clock the Thunderer was magnificently illuminated with blue and other lights, which were hurl! , all over the vessel, from the top-gallant mast head to the lower deck. Many discharges of ca-..non and small arms were fired off while the display of rockets and other fireworks from her sides of oak il luminated the sky for many miles round. The Fear less steamer and two other of her Majesty's vessels were also illuminated, and let off fireworks. At Deal I and Walmer many convivial parties met in the even ing in honour of the birth•day of the Princess Royal, while'the streets were paraded to a late hour by the loyal inhabitants of these places, bands of music being in attendar We mentioned yesterday that her Majesty expressed her sense of the pleasure she derived from the grand sailing excursion the Deal and Walmer boatmen got up in front of the Castle. The Mayor received a letter to this effect from Walmer Castle. His Wor ship assembled the crews of the fleet of boats together and read to them her Majesty's letter. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MANSION-HO USE. A tall thin pale man, who stated that his name was George . was brought before the Lord Mayor charged by a person named Check, who has the care of commercial .chambers in Great St. Helen's. Mr. Check stated that several robberies had been committed in the chambers of merchants in Great St. Helen's, by individuals who called as if to -transact business, at the times when the owners were engaged out of doors. The prisoner had gone up stairs that morning three different times, and had taken away the key of the chambers of Mr. Harris, a merchant, and returned no doubt for the purpose of us i ng it, but, upon seei ng th at Mr. Harris was inside, he sud denly departed, although he had upon first calling in timated a wish to see that gentleman, who happened to be engaged elsewhere. The prisoner was taken into custody and searched, and the key was found in his possession. Soon afterwards a smart looking man, who had been seen in the building about two months ago, just before Mr. Harris's chambers were robbed of a parcel, was observed in the neighbourhood, and the moment he perceived the witness he turned away • and hastily decamped but was - soon apprehended. It was believ e d than the latter person who had t a k en to his heels w as an accomplice of Wiiliams, and h a d sent him to the chambers furnished with instructions how to act, for the key alluded to had been taken from a secret place in which it was the custom to deposit it when the chambers were empty. Williams said he had nothing to say, but that as lie went into the building to inquire for a gentleman at the request of anothergentleman he picked up the key. The LORD MAYOR—Where do you reside ? Wil liams—ln Tothill-street. The LORD lAlA.yon—At what number ? Williams —I think it is No. 8. The LORD MAYOR—WhO is the landlord ? Wil liams—l don't know. I have been there only two days, and that's a week ago. 7 :fhe LORD MAYOR—Then how do you get your livelihood ? Williams—l don't exactly know. — (Laughter.) The Loan MAYOR—Of course you can bring per sons here of repute to speak personally of your cha racter? Williams—Oh , certainly. I shall write for gentlemen immediately. The Loan MAYOR desired that in the mean time the other man should be brought up, along aide the prisoner Willi ams . and plaeed DIVIDENDS. At the Court of Bankruptcy, Basinghall-street. S.

SUGAR.—Although importers of West India Musco vadoes Sugar have submitted to a reduction on forme' rates of Gd for yellow, and is per cwt for brown descrip tions, still buyers have purchased with much caution, and the market has presented a very dull appearance. To-day importers of British Plantation refused to fur ther give way in price, and the rates of Friday were sus tained, but the demand was extremely limited. This afternoon a public sale of 126 hhds 10 tres Barbadoes Sugar went off at full rates and all sold, fine yellow at 67s 6d to 68s, good 66s to 675, mid 63s Gd to 65s 6d, and low 60s 6d to 62s 6d per cwt. REFINED.—To-day- the grocers purchased with winch caution, and prices further declined for Refined Sugar Standard Lumps selling at 745, and brown grocery at 72s to 735. Bonded Crushed is in excellent 'request ; large parcels of the best at 255, and small ditto at 25s 3:1; Loaves are taken freely at 30s 6al to 34s 6J for 6, 10, and 141bs. In other articles there is no alteration. MAURITIUS.—This afternoon the trade purchased more freely of this kind of Sugar, and 4.462 bags at public sale went at full rates, viz.: good yellow at 64s 6d to 655, good mid 63s to 64s 6d, mid 59s to 61s, low 57s to 58s, fine brown 55s to 565, mid 53s to 53s 6d, and low 49s 6d, ord to good grey 57s to 62s 6d per cwt. EAST INDIA.—Of Bengal none has been offered at public sale ; Dobah and white descriptions have been in fair demand privately ; the former at 64s to 695, and the latter at 63s to 69s 6d for low to fine white ; but brown qualities have met with a dull demand, andprices are look ing down ; a large proportion of our stock consists of such. Java has been in fair request privately, at the former currency. Tu-day Manilla was sought after ; 15s to 15s 6d paid for some parcels of low and damp brown by private treaty. FOREIGN.—To-day the market was firm for Foreign Sugar, and the demand good : at auction, 148 chests 1 l white, and 142 chests 9 brls brown Bahia were of fered, and all sold at an advance of 6d to 1 s per cwt ; good mid greyish white went at 25s to 25s 6d, mid 23s to 245. low 21s to 22s Gd, fine brown 19s to 20s, good 18s to 18s 6d, mid 17s 6d, low 16s ; privately some parcels of low to good yellow Havannah were sold at 19s 6d to 21s Gil per cwt.
