COLCHESTER, AUG. 18.—The supplies of all kinds of grain have been scanty to-day, and last week's prices have been sustained, except for peas, which are cheaper, white being 30s to 33s and gray 27s to 30s. Yester day at Chelmsford white wheat was 48s to 50s; red 42s to 485. Peas were lower than in our market, white be ing 28s to 30s, and some samples of grey sold at 265. In several of the markets of Suffolk samples of wheat of the new crop have been offered, but the quality is de scribed as indifferent in some cases, especially at Wood bridge on Wednesday.

CORK, AUG. 17.:—The trade in general, through the week, has been dull and devoid of all animation, but the depression is felt, more especially in the article of Indian corn, which is materiaily affected by the supplies of po tatoes,which are excellent in quality and perfectly tree from disease. We believe that in some districts the crop has been partially affected by blight, but the attack as yet, is confined almost altogether to the leaves and stalks, the tubers, except in a very few instances, being sound and uninjured. We have every confidence still that a large and, on the whole, a healthy crop will be dug out. We have to report further large arrivals of maize; but, with the exception of a few hundred barrels of bere and oats, we have no supply of home grain. The first-named grain sells at 8s to 9s per barrel, and the latter at 9s to lOs Gd, both finding ready purchasers at these rates. In prepared and foreign wheat we have had little business passing, the value of the ariticle being about the same as at the date of our last. The stocks of prepared oats are so trilling as to make busi ness and quotations alike nominal. The trade in Indian corn is very restricted, and sales are heavy and dragging, while prices manifest a still lower tendency. We q uot e the extreme value of the article 6/ per ton. The ' flour trade remains exactly in the condition last reported. Bakers purchase only to supply their im mediate wants, and prices continue without alteration.

'ted by Governmentselorm moveable bri ihawur, Wuz >erabad, Lahore, and Feeroze , it is generally believed by it majority in by some information the authorities have red as to intended risings in the Punjaub, adjoining, while we are of Opinion that it is a simple measure of precaution, adopted by the Go vernor-General to guard against any possible contin gency. It has been accompanied by an order, refusing leave on private affairs to any office's or men beyond the Indus, and by imperative instructions to all laaies who have gone beyond Lahore to return to that station, where accommodation is being provided for them. The Pesbawur furce—or, at least, the European por tior —are beginning to suffer from sickners, and we re gret to hare to record one instance of cholera, in the case of Captain Threshie, of the Bornhay Conaruissaria , . It is said that Kohat is to be fortified and garrisoned, and pro gress has been made in housing the troops. At Rawul Pindee building is the order of the day, and arrangements, not considered suitable by those on the spar, are being formed fur placing the cantonments in a locality whet() water is not even procurable. At Jhelum the good people have been enlivened by the arrival of a steamer, the Conqueror, which is to be used, says one authority, as a ferry boat. Another is expected immediately at Wuzeerebad by the Chenab, and we trust the day is not far distant when the whole of the rivers in the Punjaub, including the Indus, will be covered with steam-boats until railroads are ready to take their place, as they should, and that speedily. At Lahore the great point of attraction is the trial of the ex-Dowse Moolraj, which commenced on the 31st May, and had not boeu concluded at the date of our latest advices. It is quite impossibla to form any opinion o ; f the probable result until the . w h o l e o f t h e evidence shall have been placed before the public. We have been enabled to publish the proceedings in full in • our half-weekly edition, and we dare say they will find their way into the English papers, as they are being copied into all the local journals, but they are much too voluminous to be given here, and we must therefore con tent ourselves with what our readers will find elsewhere. In our next issue we shall no doubt be able to commu nicate the final result, which we are certain will be creditable to the British Government of India. At Moultan matters are assuming their former state, although slowly, and it must be some time ere that place resumes its position as the third commercial town of the territories hitherto appertaining to the kingdom of the Penjeuh. We have heard nothing definite as to the progress made by the raw civil Government towards introducing good order and regularity into our newlv-acquired ter• ritories, but have some reason to believe they have hitherto been successful, and on this belief we found our opinion that no disturbances are likely to ()mar, unless they take their origin in the neighbouring states, and that is not likely, at least during the lifetime of either Dost Mahomed or Gholsb Singh. The former, so far from thinking of renewing his late hostilities, is rippre honsive that wo shall visit him in his own lair to punish him for his recent most unprovoked raid, and the latter is too wise in his generation to arouse the anger of the lion who has just been appropriating the Punjaub before bis face. Progress has been made in tlie formation of the several corps of the Sri!;h contingent, while the withdrawal of so ma9y officers (30, and 5 surgeons) from regular corps has contributed so much more to impair the tfficiency of the regiments of the line. 'The small disturbances in G walior have been put down by the con:ingent, and the auxiliary force of the Nizsm hiving dispersed and captured large bodies of the refrac tory Rohillas, we may say, what we believe it has never b4en in our power to say before of all parts of India, that absolute peace reigns throughout the dominions of her Majesty Queen Victoria in the East. The Maharanee Chund of Lahore is still at Katman doo, and will, it is believed,remain there on an allowance of 1,000 rs. per niensem-a surmise confirmed by the fact that her request to have two of her attendants sent to her from Benares has been comp lied with. The Legislative Council have been particularly active during the last twe or three months, and given bir,h to several measures that were much required, one espe cially for punishing nll persons who may be found guilty of breach of trust. A rumour prevails that the Court of Directors have directed the Council to join the Governor- General at Simla, which would imply, if it should turn out correct, that his Lordship purposes making a longer stay in the hilts than was originally intended. The new Commander-in-Chief reached Simla on the 16:h of June, and is at present the guest of the Earl of Dalhousie. It is said that he has now abandoned the intention he originally entertained of forthwith removing the head quarters of the army to Lahore. We are glad to intimate that the health of Mr. Thoma son has improved so much that the plan of going to the Cape has been given up. The doings of the Benares Bank directors have ex cited great reprobation throughout the a hole of the upper provinces. A meeting was to he held on the 9th of July to consider the propriety of winding up the concern. We are happy, in conclusion of this resume of the past events of the month, to be able to announce that the rains have sot in in th.eseprovinces in the most favour able manner, and if they continue as they have com menced, we may look forward to an abundant harvest.

T he commer cial advices :received by the above opportunity were of a more cheerful and encouraging complexion than those we had received by th e two or three preced ing frill's. Notwithstanding, however, there was nothing contained in them calculated materially to influence any change in the position of our local markets. Contrary, however to our anticipations, we have the gratification to report a consider able improvement in the position of our import and export markets. The period under review has been an active one, and the past few days in particular hare been characterised by more than the usual degree of activity. Almost all our leading articles of export have been in brisk demand, and prices generally have improved. This accession of life and spirit is doubtless mainly at• tributable to the lowering rates of homeward freightage, which, inspiring shippers with increased confidence, have enabled them to pay higher for produce. In indigo we ta a hr n ee d p a i attention n l r l odbutl,gb el ed e ir,x have re alis ed a short one, no of o whoe a :anticipated speculation has r s r c a h o l h n o s i s o g i cdhbreeorpabl rates,eh rise tenti s havet ao turned operations ,hichto vtahreious whatever ensuing speculations tocrnopoiocen, Sugars htykeirbgeenpliance,braitskwihen indulgedat w r y e , a c l o i n d c ie s ni a v l ;eesantho and parties a b h r e i tgi e el s s actively n prices, considering the position of th en e vrael a rtic le aulei s here,e d p i n bu a the da home market at the time the last mail left.

The position of the market 13 sound, and promises to remain firm. In table rice for the British market a very moderate business has been done for some time past, and exports show consi derably in favour of last year. An active business has been done for the Mauritius in the lower descriptions, but for Bourbon there exists no inquiry at present. In raw silk the past month has been rather a dull one; latterly, however, declining value has tempted a few put. chasers, and a moderate business has been done. I n silk piece goods active operations have taken place, and their value has been well maintained. Within th e past three or four days appearances are less f avourable. The inquiry for hides continues as active as ever, and it is only the absence of stock keeps operations on a small scale. Oilseeds also show improvement, and a very fair business is reported both for Great Britain and North America.

(Prom the Times ) We have have received by express from Marseilles Our dispatches from India and China in anticipation Of the mail, which left Bombay and Calcutta on the 2 , 1 of July, Madras on the 9th of the same month, and Hong-Kong on the 24± of June. The tranquillity of India had only been disturbed by an insurrectionary movement on a very small scale in the Gwalior territory. Two or three of the leading chiefs, encouraged, as it would seem, by the absence of the usual amount of military force, had taken the field, but sufficient troops were soon col leOted, ,under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Graves,• to destroy the principal stronghold of the insurgents, and some minor forts which they endea voured to defend. Rumours were, however, very current that an ex pedition- againstphoolab Singh would be undertaken as soon as the approach of the cold season rendered the movement of troops possible. The conduct of this chief, it will be remembered, was extremely am biguous throughout the late struggle in the Punjaub. Although he owed the possession of his territory to the favour he received at the hands of Lord Hardinge, he took no active part in the suppression of Shere Singh's revolt,;and it is more than probable that in case of a reverse he would have placed his army at the disposal of that chief, and joined with him in his attempt to drive the British from the Punjaub. He has ever since continued to increase his army, although p'roressing the most friendly intentions. These hostile'.-preparations have, it is said, induced Lord Dalhousie to require that he shall deliver up his artillery, consisting of no less than 150 pieces. Ghoolab's reply is characteristic. He declares his own willingness to comply with the requisition, but adds that his troops would not permit the guns to be removed. So flimsy an excuse would not, of course, be permitted to avail him, and if it is really true that such a requisition has been made, we may expect to see it enforced by Sir C. Napier. In the mean time, large bodies of Seikh3 are said to be flocking towards Cashmere, prepared no doubt once more to try the fortune of war if Ghoolab should be ras h enoug h to lead them against our troops. As if w ith some re ference to these rumours, the followi ng or d ers h as been issued by Brigadier Dundas, commanding the troops at Peshawut, on the 11th instant:— " Extract from Brigade Orders by Brigadier the Hon. 11. Dandas, C.B , Commanding. "Agreeably to orders received by M a j or G eneral Sir Walter R. Gilbert,K.C.B., commanding Punj sub di v i s i on , the troops named in the margin will be formed i nto a 'moveable column, and must be prepared to march at a inorn , , , nt's notice. Marching establishments, including carriages foi the private baggage of officers and men, to be agreeable to the scales laid down in G. G. 0., No. 360, of the 2d of December, 1824:—Major Fordyce's and Major Blood's troops of Horse Artillery, Captain Turnbull's battery, a company of Sappers and Pioneers, let Regiment of Light Cavalry, Sinde Irregulyr Horse, Her Majesty's 60th Rifl•ls, Her M ajesty's 61st; 31st and 70th Regiments of Bengal Native Infantry, 3d and 18th Bom bay Native Infantry." A letter of the 15th of June from Wuz -, erabad also states that an order had been received there to form the " 4th troop Ist brigade of Horse Artillery, the sth Cavalry, her Majesty's 24th Foot, and the 25th and 60th Native Infantry," into a moveable column, ready to start at a moment's notice. Sir C. Napier arrived at Simla on the 16th of June, and was expected to proceed almost immediately to Lahore. The heat in all the stations of the Punjaub is described as intense, and in Lahore especially the troops had suffered severely. Lord Dalhousie remained at Simla, and it was said that he contemplated summoning the Supreme Court from Calcutta to join him there, as much inconve nience was occasioned by their separation. The measure has been long contemplated as a necessary result of the extension of our territory in the north west. The trial of Moulraj was still proceeding at La hore, and excited much attention. The case for the prosecution had just been completed, and was con sidered to estab!ish his complicity in the murders of Agnew and Anderson. The Calcutta _Englishman makes the following remarks upon the newly raised Scikh contingent, in which we entirely concur : " Wo confess ourselves extremely sceptical as to the policy of confiding the keeping of any portion of the t Punjaub the new TM question they have undertaken to eat? Our deliberate opinion is, that we have not; and that, on the uat!esiet".ri'W:trattnese g contrary, all the probabilities are in favour of their be traying us. It is usual to say, Look at the native army, and see how faithfully it has held the provinces which have from time to time been added to the British dominions. Why should not a similar result be antici pated in the present instance, and a Scikh contingent be as ready to hold the Punjaub in subjection to us as a Hin doostanee contingent Hindoostan?' We deny;the truth of the inference in tote. In the first place, although the as sertion may be startling, yet it is nevertheless the case, that hitherto we have never held any conquered province by troops raised entirely from that province. When we conquered Bengal, our army was chiefly recruited from the comparatively distant province of Behar. Let it not be said that previous experience justifies the experi ment of depending on the fidelity of the Seikhs to pre serve the peace of the Punjaub. It is no such thing, and it is of much importance that both Lord Dalhousie and Sir C. Napier should thoroughly understand this, and not be misled by the notion that the safety of each suc cessive conquest has hitherto been confided to troops raised in the conquered districts. But even were this so, the reasoning wuuld not hold good in the present in stance. There is much more nationality among the Seikhs than there has been among the several conquered tribes of Hindoostan. The tribes of Hindoostan are mongrels—llindoos and Mahomtnedans blended and amalgamated together, until all nationality and almost individuality have been lost. Conquered and recon quered, the distinctions of race have been completely effaced among them. The Seikhs, on the contrary, are an eminently national people, and, notwithsanding the defeats they have experienced at our hands, have still the spirit of nationality strong upon them. To our thinking, then, a force composed of such materials is not to be trusted with the task of preserving order and quiet to the Punjaub. For what will be the probable employment of such a force should it be called into the field? Will it not be to check some outbreak of the newly-subjected population, or to quash some chief, who, having lost everything by our appropriation of the country, desires to make a last effort to embarrass if he cannot upset our rule?" The affairs of the Nizam had at last called for the interference of the Governor-General, his finances appearing to be hopelessly embarrassed. The amount of his debt to the Indian Government is estimated at 54 lakhs of rupees, and either immediate payment or a cessation of territory of equivalent value has been demanded. It will be remembered that for several successive mails mention has been made of some bands of insurgent Rohillas in the Nizam's territory, who at first made the pretences of R fal4e Appa Sahib the pretext of their revolt. They have been defeated in another smart encounter by Captain Howorth, of the Nizam's infantry, whoil, however, died of apoplexy from the intense heat shortly after the action. It is strange that each of the slarmishoe with these insur gents should have cost the life of the British officer in command, Brigadier Gaelow having been kill e d by a fall from his horse in the first encounter. We have received by this mail advises from the Mauritius to the 12th of June. The new Governor, Sir W. Anderson, had arrived on the Bth, and had been extremely well received. Public affairs are said to wear a hopeful aspect, and the colonists were endeavouring to accommodate themselves to the change which the abolition of protection had pro duced. for the ' A e g x ne N w i zaatlnd Anderson, d iVi er ° sO i n t a , n' forms (From the Overland Athenaeum ) murder The t o r f ia m l o e f ss M rs. o .v olr a a n j most prominent item in this month's budget. The annals of Indian history perhaps contain not the records of one more interesting or important. It commenced on the 31st of May, the Court being composed of Mr. C. G. Mansell, of the Bengal Civil Service, the President; Mr. R. Montgomery, also a Bengal civilian; and Colonel Penny, as members; the latter officer acting in the place of Brigadier Godby, whom illness prevented from attend ing. On the side of the prosecution is Mr. J. B. Bow ring, of the Civil Service, while the defence of the pri soner has been entrusted to C4ptain G. W. Hamilton. The proceedings have naturally excited intense i n t eres t, the Court being very properly an open one, Lahore has been thronged by persons from quarters both adja cent and remote to witness the imposing ceremony. Up to the time of our present writing we have not been put in possession even of the whole case for the pros ecu ti on , which is to terminate with the evidence of M r . J o h n Lawrence, but fully expect before we finally cl ose th e present number to be able to bring d own our report to that point; the sequ e l m us t b e unavoidably deferred to next month. The facts elicited in evidence furnish nothing additional to what we have published in previous issues; it seems to b e clearly established that Moolraj was present when th e owanhgom men to they first attack was made on the politicals; that, instead o f interfering to check the outrage, be at once galloped o ff the witht fonder ecowers, mercies abandoning the f fanatic i u o n h m a o p b p y b 3y . were surrounded; and that he subsequently bestowed substantial marks of his favour on the assassin that gave the death blow to poor Agnew.

At this stage of the proceedings we forbear to speculate on the probable result of the trial; it is im possible to conjecture what palliations Moolraj may offer in his defence; but, unless he can very materially re lieve his oonduct of the weight of damaging suspicion at tached to it by the evidence for the prosecution, public feeling and public justice will be satisfied with nothing less than his elevation to the gallows. Another cloud is said to be rising on our north-west frontier. The chances of another war next cold season stand at high quotations on the political exchange. Ghoolab Singh, Maharaja of Cashmere, the monarch of our own creation, to whom Lord Harding° made over " for a consideration" the pleasant lands that now adjoin our territory on the north has, it is said, shown his teeth. A requisition having been made by the Governor-Gene ral for the surrender of the heavy artillery that so bravely adorns his fort at Jummoo, Ghoolah has politely expressed his own perfect willingness to oblige his friend Dalhousie by giving them up at once, but regrets at the same time that the feelings of his people are so vehe mently opposed to the measure as to render his c.)mple. ance impossible. To this it has been urged in reply, that a monarch who allows his subjects to• control him at. pleasure is not fit for the post he occupies, and that con sequently, the hours of Ghoolab Singh's sovereignty are numbered. It is proper to add that at present no authentic confirmation of this intelligence has come to hand, but we have every reason to rely on its general correctness. We ought to add that the reason assigned for Lord Dalhousie's demand is the possession of indisputable proofs of the Maharaja's complicity in the recent re bellion. Our Indian Court is still at Simla. Sir Charles Napier and staff reached there on the 16. h ult. After transacting business with the G )vernor-Gmeral, the Commander• in-Chief proceeds to Lahore. It will be seen from our other columns, that it is in contemplation to present Lord Gough with a public testimonial. A service of gold plate has been proposed; but it is a question how far the rules of the service will allow it to be presented. lienares has attracted a large share of the public at tention during the last month, in consequence of the pro - cee lings of the directors of its bank. This institution forms one of the numerous joint-stock banks that have of late years sprung up in this country, the principal business of which is confined to loan transactions. The history of its management, if we may judge from what has already transpired, bids fair to rival that of the Union Bank of Calcutta, with this difLrence, psrheps, that the stopping of the latter institution was productive of con sequences far less disastrous than will result from the overthrow of the Mofussil institution. But the forts et origo of the mischief is in bah instances identical— a body of directors enjoying the unlimited con fidence of the shareholders, and abusing that trust by appropriating the funds of the insti tution committed to their guardianship to servo the purposes of personal extravagance or private specula tion. We need not here enter into the details of the Benares mismanagement, having before furnished a re port of the meeting of shareholders held at Bewares on the 11th ult., as well as the letters of Dr. Ellin, one of the shareholders, in which the direction was first openly inculpated. Four of the directors, all members of the company's service, Major Debuam, Colonel Pew, Dr. Butter, and Captain Stewart, have been, it is reported, ordered t) appear before a court-martial, to answer charges that will be, preferred against them ; but it has been properly remarked that a military tribunal is not a suitable judicature for the investigation of offences of the nature of those laid against the delinquent directors of the Benares Bank,_ and that resort would have been had to the Supreme Court at Calcutta, the proper quarter, had not the bank itself been afraid of the searching in quiries to which it would there hare had to submit. It has, on the other hand, been asserted that the matter will bo referred to her Majesty's judges ; but on this point we are in want of full information. It is much to be feared that such instances of aggravated defal cation as those now under consideration will give an air of expediency to an intended order which rumour attributes to the Court of Directors, enforcing the entire disconnexion of their servants from these joint-stock institutions. Such an edict, if carried into un conditional execution, would no doubt effect very inju• riously the pecuniary interests of a large class of John's employ,%c, and we should hope, therefore, that if any restriction on the speculative liberty of members of the services is in contemplation, it will extend merely to prohibiting them from taking part in the mnrragement of these banks. If pushed to the length of compelling them to dispose of all interest as shareholders, the order YdtUn fl iil6 - Volfiiiielr.Fin a rit s of p tivaly so pertinent to the subject in hand, that we deem cc apology necessary for quoting them at -length :—" The transactions connected with the Benares Bank will 1:0 foand fully to justify the determination of the Court of Directors to interdict the public servants of Government from engaging in the management of such establishments. If that wise and salutary resolution has not been already passed, the report of these proceedings will show the necessity of hastening its adoption. It is utterly incom patible with the honour of Government that any of its public functionaries should be mixed up with such equivo cal proceedings, or to be permitted to share in the obloquy of such mismanagement. Some small share of the censure which this catastrophe entails must be laid at the door of Government, which has alloWed is months to pass since the collapse of the Union Bank, without making any legislative provision for the regulation of similar companies, for the publication of their accounts, or foi the prevention of those misappropriations which have brought discredit on the morality of the metropolis. Had it been rendered imperative on the directors of all Mofussil banks, and of all joint-stock companies, to give the utmost publicity to their accounts, a consider able portion of the heavy loss which must now fall on the shareholders might have been avoided." GwALloa.—This territory has been thrown into some little confusion by the insurrectionary attempts of one or two of the lending chiefs. Notwithstanding the intense beat of the weather, a force was detached under Liaut.- Colonel Graves to give an account of the Esurgenti., which succeeded in destroying their principal strong hold, Bicturwar, and several other forts of minor con sequence. The loader, with his adherents, managed very skilfully to effect his escape, and the troops sent against him were unfortunately not sufficiently nu merous to follow them up successfully. This circum stance has been laid hold of as furnishing a strong argument for the increase of the regular army. In consequence of the groat demand for troops on the north west frontier, the Gwalior territories are obliged to put up with a force altogether insufficient for their defence; and thus it happens that when any petty chieftain kicks up a disturbance, all manner of miserable expedients must be had recourse to for the purpose of collecting men suffic'ent to chastise him, and, worse still, as in the present instance, the rascal is often able to effect an im mense amount of mischief before he can be put down. CALCUTTA—Has been the scene of a partially success ful erasion of that least valued of British privileges, the payment of taxes. The endeavour to bring into opera tion the Wheel-tax Act, as it is termed, has for the pre sent proved a failure, owing to the passive resistance of a much contemned but very useful class of the commu nity—the Haelcery Wallahs, or cart-drivers of the metropolis, who have exhibited a disinclination to be taxed against their consent, and a degree of sagacity in giving effect to it, worthy of Young Bengal himself, Lnailiar with the history of ship money and the Stamp Act. A general " strike " took place on the first attempt to enforce the tax; the wheels were taken off the hackerica, and the vehicles quietly put up in store without the limits of the city. The commerce of Calcutta was, of course, at once brought to a standstill; the ships in the river could not part with their freights, or could not get them on board. Merchants were non plused, but the cart-drivers stood firm; not merely re• fusing to work themselves, but, with an indifference to the principles of free trade that would have rejoiced the heart of Disraeli or Bentinck, preventing the ingress of any who were so inclined. The issue has been in favour of the rebels, the clause affecting them having been suspended for three months, during which period their case is to receive the attention of the Legislature. Their triumph has sadly scandalized those of our contemporaries who aro generally found ranged on the side of authority. The ease of the widows and orphans who have suffered the loss of their property by the late defalcations of the Registrar, Sir Thomas Turton, has been taken up ener getically by the Trade Association of Calcutta, since the receipt of the news of the meeting got up in London by Messrs. Shuttleworth and Alexander. The first step taken by the association was to memorialise the local Government to reimburse the victims of the Registrar's guardianship from the revenues of the Indian Govern ment, referring to the case of Mr. Ricketts, at Madras, as a precedent. Government. in reply, declined to acknowledge any liability on its part to make goo.' the Registrar's deficit, promising, however, to for ward the memorial for the consideration of the home authorities; but, as Leadenhall-street has ob tained an unfortunate notoriety fur slowness in the dis charge of business, the association have intrusted their petition to the care of Mr. Malcolm Lewis, requesting him to urge the speedy consideration of the case on the Court of Proprietors. The question of " Who's to pay ?" has been argued at considerable length and with great impartiality and ability by the Calcutta Star. The se rious magnitude of the losses sustained renders it impos sible to look to any private purse for their repayment; at the same time, justice forbids the entertainment f or one moment of the idea that the heavy wrong infl i cted in the very halls, supposed by a pardonable fiction to be unre consecrated to the redress of wrongs, sh ould paired; from whom then is the remedy l go t o come? be comes a question of vital interest to whose only means of subsistence have been s quan dered n away to sup portable Registrar. A the extravagancies of a hio perusal of the arguments put f f a o s rth in the journal just named will, we take it , convince most that the claim of the sufferers lies wit h most consistency and force ag a i nst the Company's treasury. We sincerely hope that Mr. Lewin's efforts may be successful in ob taining ;from the India House an acknowledg ment •of responsitelity. The condition of the Calcutta police has of late been attracting much of the attention of the lieges of the metropolis, and serious insinuations regarding the integrity ef some of its officers have ap peared in the columns of the public prints. Under these circumstances, much suspicion has been excited by the fact that Major Birch, the senior magistrate of Calcutta, has obtained three months' leave of absence from his duties, it is said with the intention of applying for the benefit of the Insolvent Act. The examination of the gallant magistrate's schedule is looked forward to with curiosity, as likely to afford an insight into the peculiar nature of the pecuniary transactions entered into by the Calcutta magistracy. Sir William Gomm, the Com mandersin-Cnief expectant, reached Calcutta from the u e l h t a i m g raitne they provided r o p v e i a de d for t h o c does t n o o t fill yet ry appear; p e another.arMauritius on the 3d June, but found to his infinite He has mad e a c l a i m for compensation, which has been elb his referred to th e h ome Government.

HYDERABAD.—Affiira have at last, we are told, nt debt under which the Niz .in's Government lies to the Government of India now eraeunts to 54 lies of rupees, which Lord Dalhousie has requested his Highness to dis charge. The Minister has effered; in reply, to clear the account by instalments of four lass a year, discharging the interest monthly; but to these terms the Governor- General is not willing to accede, demanding immediate payment or a •cession of. territory to the value of the debt, The new, Minister, Shums-uel-Orerah, is, we are glad to hear, gradually but effectually carrying out many measures of reform, and doing his bessao educe ordsr out of the political chaos which this unfortunate state presents. The Hyderabad Darbar has recently lost one of its most effective members by the death of the Baja Belapursad, a son of the late celebrated Minister, Maha raja Chundoo Lall. The Nizain, it is believed, cffi .e . in tended to bestow upon Balapursad the responsible of Pcishcar, with the view that Shuns-oel-Ouarah might have the benefit of his assistance in organizing his schemes for the removal of existing difficulties, and from the repu' a tion which the deceased. had acquired for political talent and general intelligence, expectations were entertained at Hyderabad that the intended engagements would prove conducive to the permanent b: neut of the state. His death, therefore, is deeply regretted by a much wider circle than that of his immediate friends. The bands of Rohilla insurgents, which have for two or three months past been affording occupation to the troops of the con tingent, have been nearly if not quite put down by the energetic gallantry which has been opposed to them. t)ur last issue contained accounts of the engagements with the rebels under Brigadiers Onslow and Hampton; another encounter has since taken place setween a burly of Bohillas, who had taken up a position near the Guth very, and a force under the command of Captain Ho worth, of the 3d Niziw Infantry. The Rohillas were attacked with spirit, utterly routed, and thirty-five of their number taken prisoners; but we regret to add, that on returning to cantonments the heat was so intense that the gallant captain of this little band fell a victim to apoplexy. The loss on the side of the British was not very severe, but many of the lives of the sepoys who died of their wounds, if not also that of Captain Ho worth himself, might, in all probability, have been saved, had the surgeon, whose duty it was to be present with iho troops is the field, not preferred staying in his quar ters. It is very rarely that it falls to our lot to report a lapse of this kind on the part of a British officer, and it i 3 to be hoped that the inquiry into the case which will, in all probability, take place, may elicit circumstances tending to deprive the affair of its present sinister ap pearance. BOMBAY.—The good people of this presidency are still busily engaged in pushing forward their railway projects, and shares sra said to be so largely in demand as actually to be selling at a premium. In the spirit of speculative enterprise, the ducks, to our discredit be it confessed, leave the benighted at a very serious distance. The contrast, perhaps, was never more clearly mnnifest than in the different reception which the railway enter prise has met with in Bombay and Madras. Messrs. Coanon and NUKenna, the editor and proprietor of the Gentleman's Gazette, have come off victorious in an action for libel brought against them by a member of the llindoo community, who thought himself aspersed under the character of " a fat IIindoo." It turned out, how ever, in the course of trial, that Bombay could boast of many fat Ilincloos, and that the plaintiff's person did not justify the application of such an epithet to him, and he was consequently non suiteq, The defendan!s pleaded their own cAthe. Another ease of ship-bianinsz lately occurred in Binnbay Harbaur, already notorion , , for buch uccurrt DeeS. ThO vessel that was sacrificad en this occasion was the Lowjce Family, well known in the In dian ,r 1 " 0 - a ttkS' &Er ?An elk: ul 2 l noes/ ‘Fterlimy reerd iiPi2l l .° l 4:tiscars. In spite of the utmost efforts to save her she was burnt down to the water's edge. SINDE is perfectly still, the only item of intelligence connected with that quarter being the fact—which will rejoice the heart of .Lieutenant-Colonel Burlton—that the Indian Government has directed the immediate re duction of the Sinde Camel Corps, the recent theme of Sir Charles Napier's eulogy. The authorities here do not estimate the services of the Camel Corps at quite so high a rate as the Cominander•in Chief. The hest is complained of as excessive, the thermometer ranging as far as 116 degrees in tents. MADRAS.—VG have nothing of interest to note in connexion with our own presidency. The Railway Committee have held one meeting only since out last, when certain resolutions were passed. The question, " Where is the iron to come from?" naturally arises from the discussion of railway projects, and has not been lost sight of by the Indian journals, who are, as a mat ' ter of course anxious that the construction of railways in India should, among other benefits, assist in the deve lopment of the mineral resources of the country, and they consequently advocate the employment of native iron. That vast stores of iron ore are to be found in va rious parts of India is a fact not perhaps generally known, yet unquestionable notwithstanding, but before it could be applied to railroad purposes a complete change must be wrought in the mode of its manufac ture. As at present worked up it must be confessed to be next to useless ; but, were European skill and me chanical appliances brought to bear upon it, there is little doubt that an article could be produced of first rate quality, acid much cheaper than could be procured in Great Britain. A local contemporary, writing on this subject, though in allusion more particularly to Porto Noro iron, observes very justly that, " the work of developing the mineral resources of the country has not only been commenced long since in southern India, but the heat and burden of the day are over, and nothing we believe is now wanting but the application of means to insure the unlimited production of the finest iron in the world." Our general orders will show that a change has taken place in the command of the troops composing the gar rison of Fort St. George. Lieutenant-Colonel Taylor has been appointed to the command of the Madras troops in the Saugor and Nerbudda territories, and Lieutenant- Colonel Lawe, of the engineers, to succeed Lieutenant - Colonel Taylor. This arrangement would appear to have excited some dissatisfaction, on the ground that the chief engineer cannot be considered as belont t imt o o f a h n i y s of the corps in garrison, us also that, _ executed__the d at Madras, be requiring him to report on . works other stations at a chstacce from adras, M Palaveram and be must necessarily - be often /Orient from his command. Dissentients thus murmur their discontent, and Colonel I Laws keeps the appointment. We regret to here to make the announcement that orders have been received from the Court of Directors for the abandonment of the experiments in cotton culture under the superintendence of 1)r. Wight, at Coinalyttore. What has led to this abrupt termination of an under , taking which was generally expected to issue in results of a very opposite character, is not known; and the cir cumstance is the more to be regretted as there were indi• cations that Dr. Wight's labours were about to meet with a much higher measure of success than had pre viously been awarded to them. We yet indulge the hope that Dr. Wight's labours in this sphere of enterprise will not be entirely lost to the commercial world, but that what the parsimonious policy of Leadenhall-street refuses to carry out will find a prosperous issue through the means of private capital and enterprise. The weather, we are happy to say, is much more en durable than last month, Several showers have oppor tunely fallen, supplying the earth with much want e d moisture, and cooling the burning air. We are sorry to have to announce the wreck of the steamer Emma, a vessel, the property of a firm at Bum bay, lately started to coast between the ports on the eastern and western sides of the peninsula. The under taking, had the management of it been what it should, might have proved a great public convenience, and re munerative to the speculators; unfortunately, however, her grounding at Point Devi was only the last of the Emma's blunders.
