JAMAICA.—We learn that for several months past .a large sum of money in silver has ben remitted from this island in payment of, goods received instead of bills of exchange, in consequence of the premium de manded on the latter. We regret this circumstance, as it may have the effect of cramping trade and limit ing the banking operations of the island. TRADE WITH HAYTI.—A numerous meeting of the inhabitants of St. Andrew's had taken place at the Court-house on the above subject, when a Committee was appointed to prepare an address to the Queen, praying her Majesty to open the ports of this island to Haytien vessels, and allowing ours to trade with that republic.

SUPPOSED CASE OF THE; NERBUDDA. "The Imperial will has been reoiVed as follows : " Ta Hungho and others .have tent up a document memorialising in relation to their'llaving sunk a bar barian ship, seized barbarians, and captured their great guns. From the 9th moon to 'the present (10th moon) barbarian ships have been coming and going to and from the Formosan oftings, ; ;hicoherently wan dering about and then casting anchor; regarding which the said high officers have' already repeatedly given orders that rigorous measures be adopted for prevent ing such proceeding.s. At five o'clock on the morn ing of the 11th of the present moon is barbarian ship sailed into the port, and when opposite the Sha Wan Fort commenced an attack , with her great guns. The AdvisaryGeneral . Yen Chinking and others having made ready, straightway opened fire, and being opposite to the said ship their shot with thundering roar *took effect and overwhelmed her in the water. In the firing he was aided by Tso Kin and others who were also at Shawan. When Yeu Chinking with his own hand had fired off the gun, he forthwith beheld the masts of the barbarian ship split, and her ropes part, and on her retreating out of the port she was dashed against the rocks and broke to pieces, and a vast many of the barbarians falling into the water, immense numbers were drowned. Those who reached the shore got into, a boat and attempted to escape, but our high officers made ready,_ took soldiers, and proceeding in a boat in pursuit caught alive and put to death a great many black barbarians. Another officer - was also employed,, who stationed himself in a vessel and proceeded out to sea, and putting forth his exertions seized alive many black barbarians, and beheld the white barba rians plunge into the sea of their own accord. At this juncture also the high officer Chin-tae opened fire from his vessel and sunk a ship's boat, put to death all the white barbarians, and brought off alive very many of the black barbarians. Tso Kin also returned from his cruise to another island, having de. stroyed a ship's boat, put to death the white barba rians, and seized alive many of the black rebels, and having dragged up the guns, and found a valuable chart. " Thus, then, the civil and Military officers, and the patriotic among the people have made a pane nume rical statement as follows : °CKilled—White barbarians,. five men; red barbarians, five men ; ditto, black barbarians, 22 men. "Captured Alive—One hundred and twenty-three such like articles. black barbarians ; d itto, 'ten, large :,arbarian guns ; ditto, the t , o i barbar c i o a n n d b u r ti k i: s , acid 6 of this - ,affair that such rigo were pt,tt. forth rous exertio: . - is matter for highest c°":2atulatiort. r. " Ta Hungho, the Comrnaniler-in-Chief of all the Formosan divisions, is rewarded. by his Imperial Ma jesty with being allowed to exchange his peacock's feather for a two-eyed -flowery - gm ;And the Formosan Intendent of Circuit is rewarded with being allowed to wear a plain flowery; feather. Let the merits of the other officers and brave men be represented to the High Ministers at Peking, and I, the Emperor, will make the awards: And: let the wounded and killed be'clearly enurnerafed,,', that out of commisera tion their families may,be rewarded. Let the same officers retain their stations *Formosa, and let tho rough preparations be -, everywhere kept up. Re spect this. DEFENCE OF SHANTUNG PROVINCE. " To Kwanfoe (Lieut.-Governor of Shantung pro vince) kneeling, memorialises Andbeseeches the sacred glance. It is palpably evident that encampments and military stations on the'gesAoard for the keeping out of the English barbarians,the ,lection of able-bodied recruits, and the disciplining ,lOf the troops, are now matters of highest import. And still more is it de cidedly necessary for the general officers (up to the highest of them) to be on theirguard, that they may be able to take charge of the men, be always ready. thoroughly to explain.military,taetics, and being in a state of preparedness andhaving their plans laid, vic tory may be definite and certain. When I, your Minister, was in the department of Tongchow, every encampment upon'the'seasboard was under the most careful inspection of the general officers. The commandant of Wantung has under his charge the military station of Kingshing, which, as it borders on the eastern'offings (or Shantung pro vince), is a station of the very first importance. Hav ing, in person, seen the sea entrances put into state of defence, the said commandant, sided by an Adjutant- General, removed the troops. to Kingshing—his origi nal encampment in Wantung being also near the sea port. ,It was difficult for the said high officer to govern both stations; but he held his subordinates re sponsible for drilling the troops and keeping up pre ventive guard on the coasts. Inow, however, memo rialise his Imperial Majesty th a t th e high officer, Lowshe, may be tranSferred to the sea-board efor e . se t oeffi se fortifi cations, and that the high officer, Le Chankang, n be ordered to the interior defences; asexperience bothinee of cers are best qualified by long said stations. Then will errors be avoided in the arrangements, and every territory of Shantung be properly guarded. " And I, your Minister, herewith present this me morial, praying that the Imperial will may be recorded." CONDITION OF HONG-KONG. In consequence of the bad conduct of the Chinese police at Hong-Kong, his Excellency the Plenipoten tiary has discharged the whole body, and only a few soldiers are now doing duty as police; the result is, that a great many daring robberies are constantly committed. It is an utter misnomer to say that Hong-Kong is, as yet, an English colony. Eng lish colonies have, or ought to have, local legislatures. At present we can only consider Hong-Kong as a military cantonment or garrison. It thus becomes a question how far the appointment of civil Magistrates, having power of exercising authority overßritish sub jects, is legal. The Chief Magistrate's warrant refers to the natives only, but the Marine Magistrate's warrant refers to all persons not subject to the Mutiny Act ; and by that warrant the Marine Magis trate is empowered to inflict imprisonment, with or without hard labour, for one calendar month, penal ties of 400 dollars, and corporal punishment of 3 6 lashes ; th us any Englishman in China, for "breaches of any regulations issued from time to time by the Government of Hong-Kong" '" may be punished by the Marine Magistrate in the degrees as stated . above. hi s a cannot t bi invested e e sgtaeld. withe Eng landpsonleihceplVotgri—streaotnesldinnotb.e, and corporal punishmet is abolished in our native country. We are told Major Caine joins his regi ment, and we trust advantage will be taken of his de parture to revise these warrants.—Canton itegister, Ala . ) , 31. ON DlT.—The expenditure on the fortifications of the Canton river has been defrayed by the British, Feting that the legal duties have within the last twelv months been so greatly augmented. It is certain on tea alone to the exter4 of 6,000,000 dollars has been disbursed, i.e., the amount of the Canton ransom.— Hong-Kong Gazette. CHA-POO. The following account of the town of Cha•poo and its neighbourhood, will probably be interesting to our readers at the present moment. It is taken from the journal of the intelligent and devoted Prussian mis sionary, Charles Gutzlaff. It is not a little'extra or- dinary that no mention is made of the plebe in the large map of China, published by the Society for tl.w Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, although its situation is so precisely defined in the following account : "January sth, (1833) we sailed from Shang-has, shaping our course for Cha-poo, a harbour on'the north coast of Chekeang, in lat. 30 deg. 37 min . . Until you come to the high lands which form the harbour of this city, the whole boast tram the Yellow River is very flat, and scarcely visible, even 'with the ship close to the land. The sea is every where re ceding from the land, so that the flats formed along the shore, which are dry at low wafer, constitute a barrier to the whole coast, and are gradually becom ing- arable soil. We tried to reach the shore a few miles north of Cha-poo, but even alit joily.boat got aground, and we must have waded more than a mile through the mud before we could reach the shore. But from Cha-poo the country becomes hilly, with undulating ridges, and continues so for a long dis tance with little variation. " Cha-poo is the only place from whence the Im perial monopoly with Japan is carried on. It has a tolerable harbour, with considerable overfills. The rise and fall of the tide is very great, so much so that the smaller junks are left high and dry at low water. Together with-its suburbs, the town is perhaps five miles in circuit, built in a square, and intersected by numerous canals, which are connected with the Hang chow river. Nothing can exceed the beautiful and pictureque appearance of the surrounding region. We may say that, as far as the eye can range, all is one village, interspersed with towering pagodas, romantic mausoleums, and numerous temples. The adjacent country is called the Chinese Arcadia ; and, surely, if any territory in China is entitled to this name, it is the tract around Hang-chow and Cha-poo. It seems that the natives alio are sensible of their prerogative in inhabiting this romantic spot. They have tried to improve upon nature, and embellished the scenery with canals, neat roads, plantations, and conspicuous buildings. • We found nowhere so much openness and kindness as among them. Their intelligent inquiries respecting our country were endless, and they seemed never satiated with our company." BRITISH EXPEDITION TO CHINA IN 1842.

(From the Areiihititin gazette of Sept. 5.) tThe following is a more full account of the return of Sir Allan Macnab to the Gore district, than that which appeared in The Sun of Oct. 6 :—] The men of Sore, with whom the Gallant Knight is, from his loyalty and his exertions in the cause of Ills country, inseparably connected, were 'delighted to itUitOkile upon Friday evening, his return among them. At the loyal village of Oakville, upon his entrance into the district, he was received with dis charges of cannon, and with the cheers and hearty congratulations of the inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood, assembled on the wharf—some of whom proceeded to Hamilton. Long before the steam-boat which conveyed Sir Allan had made its appearance in Burlington Bay, crowds of well-dressed persons covered every height and promontory, and turned their anxious glances to the canal to. watch for its approach. Cannon were discharged, and no sooner had the vessel touched the wharf, than the cheers of thousands rent the air. We do not recollect . having ever seen here so large a concourse of people as were assembled upon this occasion, to greet and welcome Sir Allan Macnab ; nor upon any occasion haVe we seen in this part of the country, such an assemblage, so uniformly well-dressed, orderly, and seemingly all animated by one feeling. Report states their number at from 2,000 to 3,000 persons, and we ourselves think that the latter number does not exceed the truth. Among them were many ladies, and the waving of their handkerchiefs, and the smiles upon their faces, were not the least interesting part of the sights and scenes of the afternoon. The excellent band of the st Incorporated Battalion was in attendance, with their accustomed civility, and welcomed . Sir. Allan with a hearty "Rule Britannia," as the boat came up; a tune particularly appropriate to the welcome of a person whose exertions have been devoted to preserve this colony from foes both within and without. Sir Allan, upon his landing, entered, accompanied by Lady Macnab, a carriage drawn by four splendid grey horses, in which we observed J. M. White, Esq., and W. B. King, Esq., and lady. The procession then proceeded, passing under two triumphal arches, and so numerous was the attendance that the dense line of carriages extended from the Town-hall very nearly to the wharf, a distance of a mile. We confess that we were much delighted to see him return among his constituents apparently in such excellent health and spirits. And, as we have already stated, warm and heartfelt were the congratulations which he received. From all parts of the town and neighbourhood, in carriages and in waggons—on horseback and on foot—vast numbers of persons pro ceeded to greet him upon his arrival. Upon his ar rival at the Town-hall, Sir Allan and Lady Macnab appeared upon the balcony, where the address, which we subjoin, was read to him by D. C. Gunn, Esq.— to which Sir Allan returned the very neat and ap propriate answer which we also present to our readers in this day's impression. Sir Allan read his answer in a tone of voice by no means weakened by the fa tigues of his voyage and by his subsequent journey, and with an energy of feeling which was responded to by long and hearty cheers from the assembled numbers. Shortly afterwards Sir Allan was con ducted with the same enthusiasm through the prin cipal streets of the town, the band playing " Auld lang syne," to his own house, there to find, in the bosom of his family, that repose which, after his un tiring exertions in England for the good of this his native country, he so much requires. The procession left him at th e entrance of his mansion, the band playing—" There's nae luck about the house." The following is the Address, with 817 signatures attached:— " TO THE HON. SIR ALLAN N. MACNAB, KNT., &C. &C. &C. " SIR,—We, the inhabitants of Hamilton and its vicinity, eagerly avail ourselves of this the first oppor tunity of offering to you our hearty congratulations on your safe return to your native province, and to the bosom of your family. " We beg to assure you, Sir, that during your ab sence in England, you have not been forgotten by us. "We have, from time to time, learned with the highest gratification the reception with which you have been honoured at the Court of our beloved Sove reign, and the courtesies you have met with from all classes of the great and good of our Fatherland. " Whilst rejoicing in the marks of respect thus paid to you, we have felt that in your person a high com pliment has been conferred upon the whole of the loyal inhabitants of this noble province. " We beg also to express our gratitude for the ser vices which your visit to England has enabled you to render to the colony at large. " Your high-minded avowal of the unalterable de termination ofher Majesty's colonial subjects to main- THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER It, 1842. tain inviolate the supremacy of the Crown, and th permanent connexion of Canada as an integral portion of the British empire —your energetic labours in pro moting immigration—and especially your exertions in upholding the financial credit of the' province, and thereby leading to the investment in Canada of Bri tish capital, are. benefits so substantial, as to demand not only from us, but from the whole province, an ex pression of the warmest gratitude and approbation. " From the tried experience which we hate had of your activity, and devotion to the interests of the colony, we rely with confidence, that nothing on your part will be wanting to carry into speedy and prac tical effect the plans which, in concert w ith our friends in England, you have so auspiciously formed. " Whilst thus offering to you on public grounds our congratulations on the occasion of your visit to the 11Iother - Country, and . of your safe return amongst us, we cannot refrain from joining with you in the feelings of satisfaction which that visit must have in spired in your mind. We well know that no loyal colonist can contemplate for the first time the gran deur of Great Britain, whether it be, the proud do• mains of England, the vales of Ireland, or the blue mountains of Scotland, the land of your brave, ances tors without feeling his heart sw e ll w i t hi n hi m w ith pride, that he is the subject of an empire on which the sun never sets, and whose meteor flag, wherever it floats on the breeze, is the emblem of Christian hope, and of all the blessings of well regulated freedom. " We will not longer detain you, Sir, with this very imperfect expression of our feelings on the present oecation, but will conclude by conveying to you our warmest assurances of the respect which we entertain for your person and character, and by our prayer that you may be long spared to the colony, and to enjoy in the bosom of your amiable family all the blessings of domestic life." After a few complimentary remarks to Mr. Gunn, Sir Allan spoke as follows TO THE INHABITANTS OF HAMILTON AND THE VICINITY. " GENTLEMEN,—The Address with which you have been pleased to honour me, on my return to my native country, and to the bosom of my family, con tains congratulations and assurances of respect and attachment, which I receive with feelings of the warmest gratitude ; they are such, indeed, es I know not well how to receive, nor in what terms to acknowledge. Permit me, however, to say, that I am deeply sensible of your kind recollection of me during my absence, and of the convincing proof of regard you have shown in thus assembling yourselves together to do honour to my return. For if it is true, as a generul rule, that a public matt is seldom honoured in his own country, your kind and considerate conduct on this occasion leads to the certain conclusion that my case is a very flattering exception to that rule. It is most gratifying for me to know that you have rejoiced in the reception with which I have been honoured at. the Court of our beloved Sovereign, and the courtesies I have met with from all classes of the great and good of our Fatherland—honours and courtesies *bleb have left an impression of gratitude and pleasure on my mind, which no lapse of time can ever weaken or efface. Far away from the be= loved circle that surrounded my domestic hearth, and the friends of my youth and manhood, these more than friendly attentions have cheered and sustained me through many an anxious hour, and enabled me to overcome - difficultie§, and eftbet objects, which must otherwise have proved insurnioittiteble: You have most truly expressed my own sentiments in stating, that in the marks of respect I have re ceived, a high compliment has been conferred upon the whole of the brave and loyal inhabitants of this noble province, since, as I have elsewhere had the honour to observe, I have never been so presumptuous as to suppose, hat any services rendered by me, either to the colony from which I came, or the empire of which it forms a part, could possibly entitle me to such honourable Maths of regard: During the Nvhole period of my stay in England, thy itit e st serious and earnest attention has been given to many subjectS deep importance to the future prosperity of this country. If they should hereafter prove advan tageous to its welfare, that circumstance, with your approbation of my conduct, will . be my greatest and best reward: One great object of improvement in this country t have eitef felt td be tilt Completion of the navigation from the shores of Lakes Huron and Erie, through the entire course of the St. Law rence, to the oc ean; the p ara mount importance of which is so well unde rs t oo d, both in a military and commer cial point of title ) that MI doubt exists of the inten tion of th e G overnmen t t o cartY eeution. The financial con diti on o f the Province, some time since, would have interposed an insuperable obstacle to the accomplishment of this great national under but I have a pee r tained from the highest au thority, that h er Majesty/s 66vefritttel1t have deter mined upon affording the guarantee of the Imperial. Treasury to the loan applied for by the Provincial Legislature, du r i ng it s last session, ,which will enable us to proceed with a ll th e p u bli c wor ks and improve meilt ebnSiclered essential to the promot ion of our agricultural and commercial prosperity. It affords me the highest gratification to state that, in my opinion, the greatest desire exists in the mind of her Majesty, and every membtx if her Government, to promote the prosperity of Canada—and that her Ma jesty has deelared her determination that her North American possessions shall be maintained at all hazards,. and that she is graciously pleased to consider this province an integral portio n o f th e British empire. Personal observations and intercourse have convinced me that the people of England take the deepest in terest in everything relating to our civil and political relations, and it is most unquestionably true, that by putting aside the bad feelings eng endered by the spirit of party—by ceas i ng t o ag i tate the mere ab stract principles of ne w an d untr i e d forms of go vernment, and by maintai n i ng t h e s t r ictest honour and integrity in our commercial transactions, we shall invite the 'confidence of British capitalists, afford a feeling of security to British people in seeking our shores, and thus give an impetus to the improvement of the Colony which, in a few years, will far exceed our highest hopes and exp ec t at i ons. Y o u do me no more than justice in supp os i ng that, as a loyal colo nist, I could not contemplat e , f or t h e fi rs t time, with out the deepest emotion, th e co l ossa l g randeur of Great Britain ; and permit me to a dd in your own words " the land of my bra ve ancestors "—my heart palpitated, and my pulse bounded to the thought, that I was one of the subjects of that great and mighty empire, ruled over by a Q ue en who lives in the hearts and affections of he r whose meteor flag, as you h ave tru l y an d beauti fully said, " wherever it float s on t h e b ree ze, is the emblem of Christian ,hope, and of all the blessings of well-regulated freedom." This is that "liberty within the laws" which consists in an equal r i g h t t o all the oy i n citizens of a free State to enj • people—an empire peace and security whatever the Constitution admits to be consistent with the public good. In these blessings of wise and good government we participate, with all our fel low-subjects in every country and clime; they are such as are not enjoyed by any other nation or people in the world ; andfor the use we ma k e o f th em w e shall be highly responsible to P rov id ence , to mankind in general, and to our on . posterity in particular. For the expressions of personal respect and esteem, with which you have so kindly honoured me on this occasion, as well as your good wishes for my family, and my domestic happiness, I aga i n request you w ill accept my coral ackno w l e d gments, and t h at you may collectively and individually enjoy the choicest blessings that Heaven can bestovv, is the fervent prayer of, Gentlemen, your faithful friend and devoted servant, who has now the honour of addressing you."

The CHAIRMAN then stated that he rose to propose the next toast of the evening—" Succes s to the Hotel and Tavern-keepers' Society." It was usual, he said, to allow the Secretary to read the R eport, but he de parted from the usual rule, and would state the main facts. The ann b ual suscriptions amount e d to 4001., and he trusted before that assenibi— j separated, an equally large amount would be ..contributed. The parties on whose behalf the Society;,was instituted had many claims on the public. They .were often brought to distress from no fault of their own, and were obliged to, look for support to their brethren who were more successful. In a great commercial coun try like England, many persons were borne down tha stream of poverty without being . able, by any act of their own, to resist the torrent Which carried them away.—(Hear.) They all knew, that within the last twenty years, a great change had taken place in the hotel and tavern business of that metropolis. The club-houses, or rather palaces, that were es:.ablished at the west end of the town, had materially contributed to lessen. the - incom e o f the hotel-keepers ; and the railroads had completed what the club •houses be gan, for now the facility of getting froth one point to another made stopping at hotels in the metropolis an unnecessary act.—(Hear.) Looking, then, at all these circumstances, was it not right and proper that they should, by every means in their power, combine to protect the industrious trader, and the widows and children of those who might die without being able to I contribute to their - .supp - Ort They had a noble example before them in the Lice.need Victuallers of the metropolis, with which body/he was more im mediately connected. ,That hOdy -of tradesmen had, by their spirit, their,ekertiOn, and -their Philanthropy, raised two establishments—the School and the Asylum establishments- the , —and he trusted that the. suppoqerk - Of the present Institution would display: the same. generosity, and not cease their exertions until .ow* secured for the subscrib ers t o it, such an ainount. of comfort as would cheer th em i n . their old age.—(ll'ear.) It was the duty of the hotel and taverm-keeper i to sustain and support those wbo were their servants, and they could only do so ley .carrying out the Objects of this Institution.

This - extraordinary accumulation, may prObably be owing, in part, to the unusual supply of obacce : rAised in the 'United States, by diverting to that purpo4elands' formerly employed in the cultivation of rice and cotton. We perceive that of the tobacco, crop . in 1838,•the value exported was 7,392,029 dollars; in 1839, 9,882,943 dollars ; and 12,576,703 dollars in 1841. .Of the' cotton crop, the value exported . was 61;5.56,811 dollars in 1838 ; 61,238,982 dollarS in 1839 ; and 54,330,341 dollars in 1841. Some of the overplus of tdbacco may likewise be due to the recent distresses of the labouring classes, which have prevented them indulging so freely as they, otherwise would have thine in this favourite luxury.

Pursuing the subject of the trade of Bengal, in a comparison of the periods commencing 1837-38, and including 1841-42, it appears upon taking the aggre gate amounts both of imports and exports, that the excess.of value collectively is 13,82,37,314 Co.'s rs. in favour of the latter year. The trade connexions of the Presidency with England, or rather the United kingdom, gives the value of imports in 1837-38 at 205,94,827 Co.'s rs., and in 1841-42 at 330,69,120 Co.'s rs., while the value of exports for these respec tive years 'are stated at 271,22,222 Co.'s rs. and and 474,69,337 Co.'s rs. Th e trade with France for these same periods is stated at 15,55,860 Co.'s rs. for imports in 1837-38, and 2 2,42,864 Co.'s rs. for 1841- 42, and the exports are valued at 22,18,058 Co.'s rs., and 65,01,180 Co.'s rs. The trade with North America shows .the Value of imports and exports of 1837-38 to be 7,29,445 Co.'s rs., and 12,07,370 Co.'s rs. ; while for 1841-42, they are stated at 18,52,204 Co.'s rs., and 29,88,582 Co.'s rs., though 1839-4 0 was the maximum year for exports, when they reached 34,16,241 Co.'s rs. The trade of the Presidency with China is naturally regarded with much inte rest; and, therefore, more detail is furnished with respect to that particular branch than others. Ac cording to these figures, the imports in 1837-38 were valued at 67,34,036 Co.'s rs., and the exports at 205,43,781 Co.'s rs.; in 1838-39 the imports in creased to 84,22,695 Co.'s rs., but the exports de creased 4) 145,65,528 Co.'s rs.; in 1839-40 the imports suddenly decreased to 27,53,801 Co.'s rs., and the exports again decreased to 34.14,079 Co.s, rs. ; in 1840-41 the imports increased to 50,82,423 Co.'s rs., and the exports also advanced in a corresponding degree to 61,12,839 Co.'s rs. ; and, in .1841-42 the imports further rose to 61,02,418 Co.'s rs., and the exports to 99,21,286 Co.'s rs. These fluctuations prove most incontestably the severe pressure the commercial interests have sustained from the interruption to the trade occasioned by the war with China, and which will fully account for the difficulties the merchants connected with that market have encountered. The trade with Singapore showed the value of imports for 1837-38, 29,26,593 Co.'s rs., and of exports, 31,75,814 Co.'s rs. ; while for 1842-42,. the imports are valued at 34,47,851 Co.'s rs., and the exports at 57,54,189 Co.'s rs. The trade with Penang and Malacca for 1837-38 showed the value of imports at 992,787 Co.'s rs., and of. exports, 652,305 CO.'s rs. ; and for 1841-42, the value of imports had decreased to 863,543 Co.'s rs., and. the exports to 491,020 Co.'s rs. • The trade carried on with the Arabian and Persian Gulfs showed a decrease in imports, but a slight increase in exports, the former for 1837-38, and 1841,42, being 12,34,745 Co.'s rs., and 7,95,381 Co.'s rs., while the latter were stated at 15,73,874 Co.'s rs., and 18,68,396 Co.'s rs., respectively. The trade with Ceylon showed the value of exports in 1837-38 to• be 64,887 Co.'s rs., and in 1841-42 they wer e 249,090 Co.'s rs., but f imports no mention what ever is made. The trade on the Madras and the Coromaildel coast showed the imports in 1837-38 to be in value 12,269,089 Co.'s rs., and in 1841-4217,24,453 Co.'s rs.., while for the same years the exports are stated at 11,54,387 Co.'s rs., and 8,22,155 Co.'s rs. respectively. The trade with Bombay and `the I .alabar coast showed as its results, imports in 1837-38 to the value of 17,15,377 Co.'s rs., and ex 'ports to the value of 27,71,221 Co.'s rs.; in 1839-40 the imports were 38,93,337 Co.'s rs., and the exports 22,26,116 Co.'s rs. ; and in 1841-42 the imports had . decreased to 14,34,739 Co.'s rs., and the exports had risen to 30,57,326 Co.'s rs. The trade with regu also showed a proportionate increase, the imports in 1837-38 being 14,26,671 Co.'s rs., while in 1841-42 they had advanced to 18,44,465 Co.'s rs. ; ,the exports - -showed an equal advance, their value :for 1837-39 being 14,46,973 Co.'s rs., and for 1841-42, 18,61,501 Co.'s rs. The result of the trade 'with the Mauritius is the last which it is thought ne cessary to detail, as the intercourse with South Ame rica, Hamburgh, Bremen, Genoa, Sumatra, and Java, Bourbon, Cape of Good Hope, St. Helena, Manilla, New Zealand, and Aden, the other points of Indian commerce, is of a limited character, and would show no practical result, save as corroborative of the general and progressive increase which, taking it on the whole, is exhibited throughout the return. Concluding, therefore, with the Mauritius, it is stated, that the Amports of that island in 1837-38 were 467,954, but this had declined in 1841-42 to 94,846 Co.'s rs. The exports for 1837-38 were 15,49,046 Co.'s rs.; and for . 1841-42, 18,17,529. . , As a finish -to this analysis of the trade of Bengal, it may be added, that whereas the collections at Cal cutta on imports in 1837-38 were 32,70,936 Co.'s rs., in 1841-42 they amounted to 51,45,760 Co.'s rs. The India papers regret that no elucidation of the same .kind has - Yet been attempted with the periodical re turns of Bombay and Madras, since if such compari sons were in _existence they could, it is said, be brought into a compass, so as to give at one glance a fair estimate of the progress of commerce in the three Presidencies.

His Majesty was pleased to converse at some length on the subject, and promised his attention to this important subject." OMNIBUS DUTY.—The reduction of the duty on omnibuses to 4d. per mile is likely to be very beneficial to the proprietors of the existing vehicles, though it is expected that others will shortly be startedi On the Paddington road alone it must occa sion an alteration of several thousands of pounds a year. There is now no limitation to the size of the vehicles, but every passenger is entitled to " sixteen inches" as his seat, which seat he may measure, and every person is liable to a penalty of 51. for any obstruction in measuring the same. , KILMARNOCK RIFLE CLun.—This club held its last monthly meeting for the season yesterday, at Barbadoes-green, when two silver medals were the objects of competition.

MADAME CATALAN'. A notice of Catalani will always interest the pre sent generation in England. Mrs. Trollope, in her " Visit to Italy," has the following : " Instead of going as usual to the Casina after dinner yesterday, I was taken a mile or two out of Florence to pay a visit from which I promised myself great pleasure, and received more. I went to see Europe's whilom wonder and delight, Madame Catalan i Valabrique. She is residing in a very beautiful villa which stands in the midst of an extensive podere, of which she is the owner. Nothing could be more amiable than the reception she gave us. I think of all the nations who joined in the universal chorus in praise of her high character, her charming qualities, and her un equalled talent, she loves the English best . . . per haps they best understand her worth, and the rare superiority of a mind that, in the midst of flattery and adulation, which really seem to have known no limits, preserved all its simple purity and goodness unscathed. I was equally surprised and pleased to see to what an extraordinary degree she had preserves her beauty. Her eyes and teeth are still magnificent; and I am told that, when seen in evening full dress by candlelight, no stranger can see her for the first time without inquiring who that charming looking woman is. A multitude of well-behaved m m . e y n t fi d r e s s t rintroduction, e I felt once i from reasons would ha ve p revente d me, especially at this re t o n h am ear in t g he t n h o e te v s e o r t y . a v ve o h ic e- e, that had so often enchanted me. Perhaps if I had not seen her looking so marvellously young and hand some, the idea might neither have seized upon nor tormented me so strongly as it did; but, as it was , I certainly never longed more, perhaps never so much, to hear her sing as I now did. Her charming daughter, Madame de V—, was sitti ng near me ; and I think I ventured to ask her if her mother ever sang now. To which she most gaily and promptly answered in the affirmative • an d then . . . what happened next I hardly know. lam .4 afraid that I must have said something about my secret longings . . . for the daughter whispered to the mother a few words, and in a moment Madame Catalani was at the piano. . . . No, in her very best days she never smiled a sweeter smile than she did then, as she prepared to comply with the half expressed wishes of a stranger, who had no claim upon her kindness but that of being an Englishwoman. I know not what it was she sang ; but scarcely had she permitted her voice to swell into one of those bravura passages of which her execution was very peculiar, and sp perfectly unequalled, than I felt as if some magical ! process was being performed upon me which took me back again to something . . . . IL know not what to call it . . . . which I had neither heard nor felt for nearly twenty years. Involuntarily, unconsciously, my eyes filled with tears, and I felt as much embarassed as a young lady of fifteen might do, who suddenly found herself in the act of betray ing emotions which she was very far indeed from wishing to display." PUBLIC EDUCATION IN NAPLES. (From the Foreign Quarterly Review.) Whatever travellers may have found to extol in Naples, all agree in placing it about the last in the list of all the lands of Christendom, as far as public education is concerned. Even Dr. Mayer has but little to say on this score in favour of his Neapolitans, who, he admits, are the most ignorant of all the Ita lians. For the humbler classes there are no means of education whatever, and the clergy, unable to judge of the value of instruction from personal experience, boldly declare mental cultivation mischievous to the poor. Those in easy circumstances are but little bet ter instructed. Their education is in a great measure confined to the enforcement of a certain set of reli gious observances ; to the acquisition of a few agree able accomplishments, such as music and verse-making; and to an outward polish of manners. So long as all colleges and schools, public and private, are under the control of a Giunta dell' Istruzione Publica, composed almost exclusively of Neapolitan clergyman, an im provement of the system is hardly to be hoped for. There are in Naples probably from ninety to one hundred thousand boys and girls between the ages of five and eighteen. Of these, from four to five thou sand are supposed to receive some sort of instruction. In the provinces the proportions are even less favour able. Two thousand girls, Galanti calculates, visit some school or other; but of these two thousand, less than a fifth, he says, are even taught to read ; their teachers, in many cases, being themselves unequal to the task of imparting this elementary branch of in struction. The children, in fact, are sent to school, merely to be out of their parents' way ; and if they learn to knit and sew, it is generally as much as is expected. There is in the whole kingdom of Naples but one school which even professes to prepare young men for the university ; and this school, the Real Liceo del Salvatore, contains about one hundred and fifty pupils. The demands made upon a Neapolitan scholar are, however, extremely moderate. Greek is taught only , nominally, and is not thought requisite even in a cler gyman. In Latin the students acquire great fluenv ; a circumstance not be wondered at when the affinity . between the two languages is taken into account. Mathematics are also taught at the Lyceum with much success. History is in a most deplorable position, being made entirely subservient to theology. The Neapolitan colleges are, for the most part, academics attached to monasteries, and superintended by monks. The Collegio di San Sebastiano, conducted by the Jesuits, enjoys by far the best name. It contains usually about five hundred pupils, and has a reputa tion for mathematics even beyond that of the Liceo.. The lyceums and colleges of the provincial towns have rarely any existence but in the State calendar ; inquire after one of them, and you seldom find any thing but a mere elementary school. The University of Naples was founded by Frede rick 11., in 1224. To this university fifty-two pro fessors are attached ; six for theology, fourteen for physical and mathematical science, sixteen for medi cine, eight for jurisprudence, and eight for philosophy and literature. The small number of theological professorships is easily accounted for by the fact that the young men for the church are mostly educated at the archiepiscopal seminary, or Seminario Urbano. Theology, however, is wretchedly taught at both in stitutions. The teachers are watched with the most anxious vigilance ; are obliged to confine themselves to a mast rigid line of orthodoxy ; and have no op portunity of varying their lectures, except by an oc casional invective against heretics, or a humourous ac count of certain imaginary tenets which they fancifully ascribe to the barbarous Protestants of the north. The mathematical and physical sciences are sufficiently well taught. The same remark will apply to medi cine ; the various hospitals and charitable institutions forming excellent schools for the students. One abo minable abuse, however, prevails ; that, namely, of granting medical diplomas to ignorant monks, who have indeed to undergo an examination, but a much less rigid one than the lay students. History, philo logy, and philosophy are in a melancholy condition. There is a Hebrew professor attached to the univer sity ; and this man, anxious to have at least one pupil, issaid for several years to have had a poor priest to at tend his class. The fact is that a clergyman suspected of reading the Scriptures either in Greek or Hebrew, is looked upon with great jealousy, and his orthodoxy is held to be none of the soundest. tion to every kind of study.

(pl ot held on Tuesday, b e f ore M r . Hi gg s, CAUSE O F S UDDEN DEATH.-AC an in Deputy Coroncr for Westminster, on th e body of a lady who died very sudden manner, the Coroner , in a lludin g to the cause of sudden death, said that in all his experienoo of Coroner for the last twenty-three years, he never recollected holding an inquest on a medical man who , died suddenly, and had but rarely heard of any one dying in a sudden manner. This he thought arose from their knowing the value of aperient medicines, and, by taking them regularly, keeping the body in a proper state. A juror said that in some cases of sudden death a verdict of " Died by the visitation of Go d , ' w as returned, whilst in others " Natural death" w as recorded ; he should like to know what difference there was between them. The Coroner said, very little; but he thought that in all cases where death wa s very sudden, without any previous illness, "Died by the visitation of God" was the most proper verdict to be returned.
