To-morrow's salewill include the service of gold and silver plate of elaborate worknianship, the celebrated collection entitled the " Digby Miniatures." Some of the fine pictures, and the Royal Sevres Porcelaine. Friday is devoted to the matchlesi tolleetion of rare and curious china, of almost every age and ceuntry, and the ancient Venetian glass; with tome interesting specimens of Farenza or Raphaelt Ware. Monday is devoted to the original collecilan of cabinet pic tures It includes the works of some of the best of the ancient school—all undoubted; with the splendid exinbition of bronzes ind other inimitable works of art. Tuesday and Wednesday will bring to fight a portion of the incomparable contents of the fortune, including the rrecious enamels and minatures, by Pettetot, Zeneke Britt, Esc. These is no collection in England at all comparable with this; also antique rings, cameos, and intaglios, with a variety of relicts of singular interest. On the latter day a magnificent treat is in store for those who know how to appreciate the finest workLof art in the creation. We have not space to particularise felfEept very slightly—all are absolutely matchless—but we dare not overlook the rnagni ficent missal by Raffaelle, s uperbly enriched by stones of im mense value—executed for Claude, Queen of France. Oh, what a prize this will be ! Then the celebrated silver bell re nowned throughout the globe as the finest effort of that unri valled artist Benevenuti Cellini—it is said that at least four of the great Potentates in Europe will be com petitors by deputy. Then the matchless volumes—the incomparalsle missal, by Don Julio Clovio, pupil of Giulio Romana, with the Psalms of David, written with a pen on fine vellum. This magnificent gem, is considered the most perfect of any of the works of the unrivallstd Master. There are twenty-one inimitable Illuminations,,4o meet vivid in colours and effect. This is, indeed, a treasure; and it will approach sacrilege, if it be allowed to adorn any other Court or coun try than Great Britain. We will not exhaust our readers to-day by alluding to more of the preci , :us contents that have been. cursorily and hastily remarked upon, only observing that throughout the succeed ing nine days there is a never-ceasing combination of all that is classical and rare ; the ensemble presenting a proud record of the imperishable fame of Horace Walpole. OVERLANDIIVIAIL. d sin& nd trci Sug* is put' broUll inCTO Xiottsli pUr' is cal/ INDIA AND CHINA. "We have reeeived by an Extraordinary Exprests our letters and papers in anticipation of the Indian Mail. We give the following extracts from the letter of our Correspondent :-- BOMBAY, Atitit 3, 1842.—The news which this days mail takes to Europe is inter" eating: It does not contain any startling facts such as those of the three preceding months. In order to place it before you in regular order, I shall divide it into the appropriate heads : CHINA. The latest intelligence is to the 14th of February from Macao. The Chinese Government litti•ing garrisoned the cities and forts of Yuyao, Tsikee, gitd Ptieghwa, which arc situate 40, 20. and 30 miles from Ningpc ! With a view of awing all those who had submitted to the British, a force consisting of three steamers with about 700 men was despatched against them. They were soon occupied ; the only opposition -being an attempt at one place on the part of the Tartars to defend the town from without the walls ; but although they opened fire, the Tartars fled as soon as attacked ! they were pursued, and lost about 150 men. The snow which covered the country saved the others, as their pursuers did not know the safe paths. The ammunition, arms, clothing, and other we- - stores, were destroyed, and the public ;granaries !air , rendered to the populace. The expedition returned f 0 Ningpo on the 12th of January. Hang-chow-foo is the chief city of the populous province of Che-Keang, and was, it is said, about to be occupied during February. It had a garrison of 10,000 raw recruits. The division of the English troops into detachments at Hongkong, Amoy, Chusan, Chinhae, .and Ningpo, was likely to prevent an immediate attack, but on the arrival of the ex pected reinforcements from India and England, the campaign would, it is said, begin by the cap ture of that important position at the south point of the Great Canal. The utility of this proceeding is much canvassed, for many contend, that instead of wasting forces at isolated points, the British expedition ought to proceed at once to the attack of the Imperial province of .Pekin, which, being by the constitu tion of the Chinese empire, placed under the im mediate Government of his Celestial Majesty, any attack on it would oblige the Emperer in per son to examine the causes of the war, and to come to a speedy decision. The great blunder of the late Plenipo tentiaries was their not persisting in 1840 to demand a settlement of all disputes, when Ke shen hoaxed them back to Canton. Sir Henry Pottinger must go to Pekin in order to bring the war to 'a termination ; for the manda rins at Hang-chow-foo seem resolved rather to carry on their operatior s in their own fashion, although they appeared to make an offer of negocia dons. The sacred province of Pekin must be assailed, and even the British troops may have to march towards the capital, before the obstinacy of the Emperor will yield. The possession of the imperial province is, be sides, to be considered as an occupation of the Govern ment, and then the Emperor will have either to abdicate or submit to proper terms. Having issued a circular to her Britannic Majesty's subjects announcing the capture of those three cities, Sir Henry Pottinger sailed for Hong Kong where he arrived on the Ist of February. He immediately put a stop to the wretched system of seizing the Chinese commercial junks. Trade was carried on successfully with the southern ports, and opium was selling freely along the coast, for the powers of the Government to controul the use of that narcotic appear now to be in a great mea sure paralyzed. The sale of this article is such, and the prices so remunerating, that it has been proposed to station vessels in different places to serve as depots for the cargoes. The profits are such as will enable the Hon. Company to defray at least one-half of the expenses of the expedition to China. In the meantime the Mandarins at Canton and their Dutch engineers are busy in erecting fortifica tions along the banks of their river ; they have al ready erected twelve stone or earth batteries along the Macao passage and the Salt Junk river, in which they have placed nearly 400 guns of large calibre. As the export trade from Canton continued, Sir Henry Pottinger had decided. while trade is allowed, and the river below Whampon is left unobstructed, upon not attacking that place again, for, as he declared to some mandarins, who came commissioned, as they said, by, their celestial Mo narch to treat with the British Plenipotentiary, " I will not now enter into treaty : I will negotiate with the Emperor personally at Pekin." Reinforcements are new preparing in different places. The 2d and 41st Madras Native Infantry ombarked on the 13th of March from Madras, and the 14th, which was at Moulmein, and the 39th Madras Native Infantry, which was at Penang, have, as it is asserted, received or ders to get ready for proceeding to join the China expe dition. It is reported that Chusan, Amoy, and Hong Kong, are to be free ports ; buildings of various kinds are springing up fast in the last named. let. free, n, an d we ; term' t. 6 6if bro RO at 1 9° 250 t° arm 1 1 ' . s' 16s 6 t Is IP 1 0 , to pl 7 fro in.e i , trit o I nee I Jolt c aft' v tO I b e P r Liver high ° ye bee ° 2 : 0 1 i 5 , -the npo rteo way SILVE R , .SUPERSEF)ED, and those corrosive s t sad injurious metals ea) . .ed Nickel and German Silver .APPlanted by the iotroductio n of a new and perfectly matchless 41ATA PLATE.

After a creditable performance of the Conscript Bro thers, which is an interesting drama of the Swiss school, a new comedietta, from the pen of Mrs. Hallett, ran lightly through its scenes. Its title is Woman's Whims, or who's to win her, and the answer involved in these questionary words, has its own pleasing and pecu qar development. Idonea (Miss Rogers), daughter of a rich county Justice, has determined to wed none but him who shall woo her from total . disinterestedness. Charles Avonmore (Mr. Reeves), a frank and sincere hearted officer, has also predetermined to espouse him self to none but from pure motives of affection. The issue of the piece may readily be judged from minds so appositely formed. ,An exchange of cha racters on the part of Idonea, between herself and her waiting girl, produced some good points ; the most hypo chondriacal awkwardness characterising every movement of the false lady, while genuine grace gleamed in the per son and demeanour of the young gentlewoman, habited though she was in servantile disguise. Miss Rogers here was winning. The Hon. Augustus Lavington (Mr. J. Parry) represented well one of those military epheme rals who, gay in gilt and regimentals, seek out pretty faces to betray them, and wax hysterical at any thing that is not faint as a rose, or soft as a zephyr. Simon, at the " Stags" (Mr. handers), pourtrayed the rustic waiter quite au tuit. Indeed, the cleverness thrown by him into his peculiar cast of character, was well sustained throughout the three pieces in which he took a part : nor should we forget the one sweet warbler of this theatre, Miss Wrighten, who carolled charmingly in Michael, Patty, and Berthalda.

It is scarcely possible to remove the mist which preju dices and party madness have already thrown around the accounts from Caubul and its neighbourhood, since the disastrous retreat in the beginning of January. The Bombay Times and the Bengal Hurkaru, notwithstand ing protests from all parts of India continue to exagge rate every statement which is unfavourable to the British, and to palliate all the atrocities of the Affghans, although, as yet, nothing positive is known of the fate of many of the officers, these are marked down as killed, and every means is used to magnify the loss during that unfortunate retreat. 'rho Bombay Times in its overland despatch of this day paints every in most gloomy colours, although there is not sufficient reason for such clamour «nd horrifying statements. The truth of the affair is now breaking out, and I am very sorry. to state, that the disasters of t;abul and of the mountain passes appear now attributable to disunited councils in the British camp, and to the total inefficiency of the military leaders.

S. and Co. take the liberty of reminding their friends and the pub'ie that the above Cele brated Water continues to be manufactured on the largest scale and upon the most scientific principles at their chief es tablishment, Li , Berners-street, London ; and also at their three branch Manufactories in Liverpool, Br istol, and Derby ; and that consumers may be supplied with the genuine article at most of the respectable Chemists, Confectioners, and Italian WarchouFes in every province of the United Kingdom. The just reputation of their manufacture, and the consequent de mand tor it, have tempted unprincipled persons (many of them of apparent respectability) to practice a deception, against which Schweppe and Co. are anxious to caution the public. The deception referred to is that of passing off a spurious article for " Schweppe's," by selling it in Schweppe's marked bottl s. The temptation to this is, the cheapness of the infe rior water, although in most cases the consumer is charged the same. By this artifice a common water is surreptitiously palmed upon the public for the genuine—the reputation of the latter is prejudiced by the substitution of a bad article—and a certain proportion of the public patronage diverted from its legitimate channel. To obviate these several evils, Schweppe and Co. have adopted the :plan of placing a Red Label over the cork of each bottle, representing the Royal Appointment in the centre, and the name of their firm on each side, with out which none is genu'ne. Sehvreppe and Co. refer with pride to the fact that they constantly supply the Royal Palaces of London and Windsor, as well as the principal Nobility in the three kingdoms; nor is the demand for their Soda Water less constant on the continent and in other parts of the world. Merchants and Shippers in general connected with the East and West Indies and our numerous Colonies are continually transmitting orders received from their respective agerits and correspondents, and highly gratifying is the testimony Schweppe and Co. are in the habit of receiving from gentle men returned from abroad, of the luxury afforded therm by their Soda Water when met within tropical climates., and or the high condition in which it is generally found. The Water ordered for foreign countries is manufactured with an express reference to its destination, and it is well known that no other can equally cell endure the variations of climate. Schweppe's Lemonade is an elegant preparation of more recent introduction, but from its refreshing and wholesome properties is rapidly getting into extensive reputation. It is an effervescing draught of most agreeable flavour, and made of the best materials, without re gard to cost. Physicians and medical men constantly recom mend it in cases of fever, &c., nor is it less desirable as an article of luxury. Every genuine bottle will have a yellow Table on its side, with the name and address of the firm. Schweppe and Co are the largest importers of the German Seltzer Water, which they receive direct from the springs, en a in quarts and pints, and which th e y offe r to the public in the original packages.

He proceeded to Tharawa, where the Court stopped some time, and he ordered 60 of those who had accompanied him to Rangoon, but whom he convicted of robbery, to be beheaded. tales : "We have now been besieged 38 days by a con temptible enemy, whom the cowardice of our troops and certain other circumstances, which I will not mention, have emboldened to assume an attitude of superiority. Our provisions will be out in two or three days more and the military authorities have strongly urged me to capitulate; This I will not do till the last moment. We have rumours that a force is coming to our assistance from Candahar, and I sincerely trust it may, for we have no energy or spirit among those here." A letter, dated the 30th of January last, has arrived from Major Pottinger, from which it appears that " General Elphinstone, at the time after the murder of Sir W. H. li‘Naghten when the evacuation of Caubul and its neighbourhood was under discussion in the British Cantonments, was so ill from gout and a wound, that all active measures had devolved on Bri gadier Shelton ; that Major Pottinger propesed marching from the cantonment to the Bala Hissar, or evacuating Caubul, with the sacrifice of their baggage, and fighting their way to the nearest British station. Brigadier Shelton declared the first proposition impracticable, and the council of war would not agree to the second ; consequently, General Elphin stone acquiesced in the rote of the council of war, which was fur the disastrous course adopted." Thus, instead of regarding the disasters'of Caubul as a proof of Affghan prowess, they must be looked upon as demonstrations of the incapacity of the British Generals. This view is corroborated by the fact of Shah Sooja being enabled still to maintain himself in the Bala-liis sar • and by the gallant defence of Jellalabad by. Sir Robert Sale, where he, notwithstanding every difficulty, has maintained his position since last October. General Nott is still master at Candahar and its environs, from whence the Affghans have - not being able to expel him. The fact seems, therefore, clear that if the British troops had been well commanded atCaubul, neither the evacua tion of that place, nor the wretched retreat would have been necessary, and then the fatalities of that miserable proceeding would have been spared. The newspapers publish the names of various officers who are not found to be prisoners, and not killed as pub lished in the first exaggerated statsments of the Phil- Affghan journals. The Agra .Althbar of the 24th ult. states, that the Affghans have adopted " the horrible practice of mutilating the sepoys, and sending them back to Hindostan to scare their countrymen from further trips to Caubul." Sir Robert Sale was safe in Jellalabad up to the 4th of last month ; he had secured provisions for himself and his troops, and was determined to resist to the last. A n earthquake on the 19th of February bad done great damage to the fortification and buildings of the towu, but the resolution of the General and his troops, had not only repaired the damage, but routed a party of Affghans under Akhbar Khan, who endeavou.zod to profit of the occasion, and to attack the British position. The troops sent to the relief of Jellalabad have met with various discouragements. The want of cannon caused the failure of Colonel Wilde's movement into the Khyber Pass. Great sickness, but luckily no heavy mortality, attacked those that arrived near Peshawar be fore General Pollock. The attempt made to buy over the Khyhers did not succeed, although a quarrel had taken place between two of their tribes about the spoil they had previously acquired. On the 25th of February General Pollock issued an order to prepare for a march into the Khyber pass, in order to relieve Jellalabad. This order is described as giving dissatisfaction to several of the officers, inasmuch as it limited the quantity of baggage they were allowed to carry. It has, as it appears, been since found , that as Jelalabad was not in immediate diner, it would be best t. loires's-build,ngs, Hui January lOt TAM 3N Ft) L of 7 y given LL of: on the PI .ue pay the same 2, to the account of th z~ ~~ ,c:2' '' PUBLICATIONS.

This Joint Stock Company, established by Act of Parlia ment, without limited responsibility, affords the most perfect security in an ample paid-up Capital, and in the great success which has attended it, since its commencement in 1834, and the large accumulation of Premiums which has taken place. On the Ist of July, 1841, the Company, at their General Meeting declared an addition of one-half to the Sums paid by the Stockholders, and appropr;ated to those holding Assurances at the participating rate 21. per Cent. per Annum, from the dates of their policies, so that the addition to a policy for 1,0001, in force for the previous 5 years, has been 1001., mak ing it in all 1,1001. The Premiums payable to the Company are nevertheless very moderate, and only one-half of them, when the Insurance is for life, need be paid for the first five years after the date of the Policy ; the other half, subject to the payment of interest at 5 per cent, annually, to be deducted at death, or paid off at convenience. By this arrangement it becomes easy for a person of moderate income to secure a provision for his family ; and the policy may be relinquished on the acquisition of a fortune, within the five years, the Assured having paid only one half the premiums, instead of the whole, according to the usual practice. Thus a person of 25 years old may, by an annual payment of 28/. 16s. 3d. for the first five years, and afterwards of the full premium, 571. 12s. 6d., secure to his widow and children at his death payment of no less than 3,0001., subject only to the deduction of 1441. 13s. 3d , being the amount of premiums un paid. A person requiring a temporary advance of money may also, in terms of this arrangement, should he within five years relinquish the policy of Assurance by means of which he has obtained the advance, give it up on payment merely of one half of the Premiums instead of the whole, according to the usage of most other Offices. The great facilities afforded by the Company, in these and other respects, are such that it really appears a moral duty . in every parent who is not possessed of a fortune, but of an in come, however moderate, to insure his life for a sum which may yield a provision to his family.

FROM TIIE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.—The premium on gold at Paris is 10 per mine, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 1O d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25. 44., and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25. 62i , it follows that gold is 0.88 per cent. ..dearer in London than in Paris. By adrices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 433 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31.175. 10fd. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.9, and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13.114, it follows that gold is 1.02 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. A correspondent, whose statements were used on Sa turday in various matters relating to railway statistics, is said, by better authorities, to be incorrect in many . of them. For example, the general receipts for 1841, in stead of 1,500,000/., were near 3,000,0001.; the cost of the Liverpool and Manchester was not 27,000/. but 46,000/. per mile ; and-the average cost of English railways, in stead of being 12,0001., is believed, in round numbers, to be nearer 40.,000/. per mile. SUN.—The market fin. the English Funds opened very dull, which dulness was, to a certain extent, relieved upon the rec Opt of the intelligence from ,India ; hot at ' the tatter patt of tho day the fl atness .again prevailed, and Consols left off at 92i for Money, and 92i for the Account ; Bank Stock, 167 168 ; India Stock, 247 248; and Exchequer Bilis, 37 39 premium. • Scarcely any alteration occurred in the price of Fo• reign Securities. Belgian, 1031 1041 ; Dutch Two-and a-lialf per Cents., 52 53* ; the Five per Cents., 101 1011.; Danish, 801 814 ; and Brazilian, 67 68. This has been one of the best days for Railway Shares which has been observed for some time past ; and it has only been:because so few of the completed lines were of fering; that the quotations remain unaltered. The newly created shares of the South Eastern Company bear a premium of 31 4, and the original Shares are 2i..per share higher, being 324 331 per share ; London and Birmingham were 90 93 ; Great Western, 281 29,1 ; the new Halves, 14'i 151 premiumi; Birmingham and ; Gloucester, 54 56South Western, 524 531 ; Gosport, 63 64 ; North Midland, 65 67 ; the New Shares, 321- 33 ; Eastern Counties, 101 ; Blackwall, 124 ; the New Shares, 10 10f ; and Brighton, 36-1 37 per share. No hange in the quotations in the Foreign Exchanges took place today, but all were exceedingly firm. HUNGER AND THEFT,-011 Saturday six men were had up at the Old Bailey, Manchester, for stealing bread, but they were in such a wretched condition that the Magistrate found it necessary to admonish and discharge them. One of them named O'Leary said he bad eaten one meal of potatoes on Sunday, and had been fasting Monday, Tuesday, and Wed nesday. On ednesday his child asked him for something to eat; and having nothing to give him, be went to Mrs. Tegg's shop, and said to her, " Mistress, be se kind as to give me a loaf of bread." " No," said she, " 1 will give a piece." He said a piece was of no use to him and his hungry child, so he took a loaf. The police of met him at the door, and seized him. He refused to go with the officer, and, in trying to get away, lie (O'Leary) tell over a woman, and broke his arm.— (Abridged from a Manchester Paper. ) OPERATIONS OP THE MINT.—A striking illustra tion of the magnitude of the transactions of the British empire may be drawn from the recent records of the Mint. Between the years' 1816 and 1836, the money coined in it amounted in round numbers to a quarter of a million of copper, twelve Millions of silver, and considerably above fifty-five millions of gold, making a total of between sixty-seven and sixty-eight millions of money sent into circulation within twenty years. The chirge for coining this enormous amount of precious metal was nearly four hundred and twenty-one thousand pounds, and the actual cost about two hundred and fourteen thousand rounds; leaving a profit to the company of moneyers not much ess in amount. ~~~~~~G-~Ci )MPANION TO THE LIVES OF COLLINGWO AND NELSON.

MAY 4, 1842. The douse of Commons decided last night, by 287 to 49 vote.s, that the unrepresented classes should not be heard at the beer, to explain their grievances. The House, of cours , ,, knows better than the people what they suffer, a,nd the cause of their sufferings. It needs not their advice and counsel. It is of itself all suffi cient. It refused, therefore, to hear their complaints. At the same time, it was comparatively respectful towrrds the petitioners. There was a period when the petition would not have been received ; but the number of the petitioners commanded respect. The next time the people approach the House, it will probably be with five or ten millions of signatures, and then what ever they demand, may, perhaps, be granted. In the course of the debate, Mr. ROEBUCK made an allusion to a well-known individual, whom we wil not name, but of whom Mr. ROEBUCK is not likely so to have spoken out of the House of Commons. The gentlemen are, perhaps, rivals. Mr. ROEBUCK, be sides being very insulting, was described by Mr. Dux- COMBE to have committed a great mistake. We presume the world will hear something more of the matter. We are glad to see that Lord IlowlcK last night gave notice that he would move, on going into Com mittee on the tariff, that there should be no n w differential duties imposed on articles from the colonies and other countries, and that in those cases where such differential duties already exist, they shall not be increased. The Noble Lord is also to move that the duty on foreign coffee shall be 7d. instead of 8d That proposed reduction will leave the colonists with all their present protection, and will simply lower the price of coffee without taking sixpence from the revenue. It will be a proper complement to Mr LABOUCHERE'S well-meant reduction of the sugar duty, which meets we think with extensive support from the public, and we hope that both motions will be successful.
