HALF PREMIUM SYSTEM. —By this plan only one-half of the Premiums, with interest of the retained halves, is required to be p aid for the first five years—the retained halves, being payable at the co nvenience of the assured, or allowed to continue, to form a deduction from the claim on the Policy ; and as the As surance May be relinquished at any time without payment of the retained premiums, this scheme enables a party to assure for the first five years at little more than half the usual rate, and to discontinue a Policy at about one-half the usual sacrifice. WHOLE WORLD POLICIES are granted, whereby the security Of a creditor, holder of a Policy, co n ti nues un i mpa i re d , although the ass ured life should go beyond the prescribed limits. Bums are assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining a specified age, or at their death, whichever shall first occur. PARTNERSHIP POLICIES are granted, whereby a joint assurance effected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in !nvested. On the death of either, the survivor is benefited by retain gthe whole capit a l , and the representatives of the deceased obtain their share without having to wait until it can be recovered from cntstanding debts. There is no extra charge for residence beyond 35 degrees of the equator. No Admission o r E n t rance F ees are required, nor is any charge made for the Policy beyond the amount of the Stamp. Claims are payable within_three months after proof of the death of the assured life.

We have received by express from Marseilles the intelligence brought by the Bombay mails of the 17th of September and the Ist ult. The former mail was, as will be remembered, too late in its ar arrival at Aden to be forwarded at the same time as the Calcutta and Madras mails last received. This delay had been caused by the extraordinary force of the monsoon, which is said to have been the most violent for many years. The amount of rain fallen is almost beyond precedent, and the floods throughout India have been most destructive. In one instance the rain and the flood have by their united operation produced a most unexpected effect—the renowned Fort of Moultan, with all its bomb-proof dependen cies, which had so long held out against all kinds of, assailants, has melted away before the joint attacks of the monsoon torrent and the flood of the Chenaub. On the 1811 of August the rain began, building after building fell in rapid succession, and on th 23d the river had covered the whole country. The floods gradually ascended the course of the rivers at the rate, it is said, of about 70 miles a•day, and had everywhere done much temporary damage. We receive by this mail more full and precise accounts of the conclusion of the sanguinary episode which the Moplah insurrection in the Madras Presi dency had furnished. It seems that the troops ordered to avenge the loss of their comrades of the 43d Native Infantry, consisting of the grenadier company of the 94th 'Regiment, assisted by another company of the 39th Native Infantry, came up with • the insurgents on the 4th of September. The Moplahs, in number only 64, immediately attacked our troops, and only one of the whole number would accept quarter. The rest were all slain. 'The news from the Punjaub is almost entirely a mere detail of the movements of the troops who form the army of occupation. In several of the stations much sickness had prevailed. At Wyzeerabad upwards of twenty Europeans had been struck down by apoplexy on the 13th of August, and the subsidence of the floods had been everywhere fol lowed by increased mortality. At Moultan almost all the Europeans were suffering from fever. The cold weather was, however, setting in, and the sickness was decreasin* Sir C. Napier and the Governor• General were to leave Simla about the end of October, the former proceeding to Peshawur on a tour of inspection. We subjoin copious extracts from the Indian papers. (From the Bombay Thies, Sept. 17.) With the present mail we resume our mid monthly summaries, interrupted since May, when, they could only, be transmitted by the circuit of Madras, direct communication . . with Aden being confined to one dispatch during the storms of the south-west monsoon._ At the date of the last issue the rains were believed to be over, and an unusually favourable season was supposed to have passed. On the 2d instant they're, sumed, and have ever since prevailed .with all :the violence of the wildest period of the monsoon. Within the past fortnight 21 inches have fallen, and, the fall at Bombay up to the present timiis 110 incites; or con siderably more than a third aboVe our average. Vitas only twice exceeded this' durinwtheipaitttitirtf-twO years. All over the country has been -propor tionately heavy. The famous folieof Moultan, 'with its mosques, bombproof walls; and bastions,t which for three months bade defiance - to nearly One hun dred British cannon, has in a - feti'- - houra been levelled by the rain and the river Chenitub, the buildings being all of mud or unburnt brick. On the 13th of August the enormous dome of Bhawul Huk fell with a tremendous crash which made the earth tremble, and building after building - From this time continued to give way. The ditch was full of water, and the counterscarp end curtains began to slip in. On the 231 the river broke through all -bounds, and flooded the country everywhere. It entered the fort and levelled it ; it approached the precincts of the city, swallowing up everything before it. By the 26th the country was one vast sea, studded with trees and speckled with islands, the occupants communicating with each other by inflated skins, empty earthen vessels, pumpkin shells, planks, rafts, and boats. Much ap prehension was entertained of suffering from scarcity, and afterwards from sickness, until the ground become fit for crops. The food which thus swept all before it at Moultan on the 23d and the following days hsd deluged the country around Shahpore -200, or by the course of the stream 300, miles higher up on the 19th—thus travelling at the rate of 70 miles a day, or about three miles an hour, the country all along being perfectly flat. We have not heard whether the three rivers united flowing past - Moultan bad been flooded by the rains or not. The Jhelum must have been swollen by some enormous fall of rain in the moun tains of Cashmere and Jamoo, amongst which it takes it 3 rise. These rains must have fallen simultaneously with those which levelled the Bhawul Huk, which fell in the whole of the north-west provinces, and relieved Ceylon from the fear of scarcity. The cholera, which at the commencement of the month prevailed amongst the shipping, was by the judicious measures adopted speedily abated; it has since re appeared. but in a mitigated form, and has not proved very fatal. At Jaulnah, in the Madras territories, its ravages have been fearful—four British officers having been cut off by it in the course of a week. It prevails to some extent amongst the troops at Poonab, and a very sickly season is apprehended after so tremendous a fall of rain. We shall this season pass at once from the present deluges to the baking heat of October, without the inter vening showers that used to occupy the de lectable months of August and September. The Governor-General has of late been suffering from in disposition, a:id has been recommended to retire fur- then into the hills for the change of air. A proposal has just been issued to connect Baroda with the sc-a• , port at Tankaria Bander by a tramway ; the dis t once is 40 miles, the estimated cost 50,000/. The intervening country is fist, but so muddy and soft for months after the rains as to be at present untra versible. The tramway would open up the whole traffic of Goozerat, and so on to Malwah. It would not only not interfere with the railway, but the rail way company are the parties most strongly urged to include it in their great scheme. The wealthy na tives, who are well aware of the advantages of open ing up the country, are perfectly willing to come for ward with large advances if the initiative is ones taken by Europeans. There is a movement amongst the native gentry of Ahmedabad to get the country watered by means of a large iron main from the river; the project has been introduced by Captain Fulljames, of the Goozerat Irregular Horse, an able and benevolent man, and an excellent practitical engi neer. One village has offered 500/. a-year for the use of the water, and it is believed that the whole landed pro prietors and cultivators around will come forward in like manner so as to meet the entire charge of the scheme. An advance of money to begin with will probably be applied for to Government, to be repaid when the works are in operation. The inquiry into the extent to which the embarrassments of the magis trates and heads of police at Calcutta have interfered with the discharge of their duties, is likely to be fol lowed by the removal of nearly all the delinquents from office. An inquiry into the state of the Stamp office, the head of which is said to be equally encum bered with the rest, has also been instituted. The Custom-house and Post -office will, it is said, come next under revision ; and the whole of the public offices of Calcutta, said to be one mass of venality, knavery, and corruption, are recommended to be in quired into. The liabilities of Major Birch, lately removed from the Calcutta police for being in debt, amount to 40,000/.-20,0001. of which are set down opposite the name of Baboo Mutty Loll Seal, and 8,0001. opposite that of another creditor. At Bombay one of those discoveries of vice in an almost incredible form which within these few years has so frequently astonished us, has just been made by the police. A copartnery, with a regular deed of settlement, formal books, and a a well ,organized mode of keeping re cords and conducting business, has just been-dis covered—the objects of which' were to forge docu ments, draw up false vouchers and accounts, and provide proof of their genuineness —to swindle, in fact, in form of law, all and sundry they could victimize. The partners quarrelled ; one of them informed, and the 'whole firm and stock are now in custody, We had many years amongst us a fl ing copartnery for the purpose of organized plunder ; a branch of their business was the burning and sinking of ships. This has survived them. How many kindred establishments exist amongst, us cannot be guessed at; the sympathy of the native community generally is with the criminals, not the law; and here there is more honour among thieves than in most parts of the world—thence the extent to which honest men are fleeced. Sir W. Gomm is still at Calcutta. • Sir. W. Cotton, Commander-in-Chief at Bombay, leaves us about the b-ginning of the year. Lord Falkland and family have returned to the presidency and taken up their residence at Malabar Point. The Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Bombay has also returned to the presidency; his - Lordship shortly goes home on leave. He has been a persevering, dis tinguished, and successful labOurer in his Master's cause, and his departure will form subject of deep and general regret. Sir Henry Pottinger is at Madras. I Sir G. Berkeley, Commander-in Chief, has by this time left the Neilgherry Hills on his way back to that presidency. Sir E. Perry, Chief Justice at Bombay, proposes making a tour through Sinde and the north west during the approachink vacation. The Marquis Dalhousie and Sir C. Napier have consented to be come patrons of the United East India Service Club. Major Quentin, 10th Hussars, and Lieutenant-Colonel H. Havelock, C.R., Deputy Adjutant-General Queen's troops, Bombay, are about proceeding—the former to the Neilgherries, the latter home on sick leave. An action for trims. con. was some time since brought by Brevet-Major A. N. Maclean, 28th Bombay Native 'lnfantry, against Captain F. Cristall, Bth Bombay Native Infantry. The defendant pleads that Mrs. Maclean was not the wife of the plain , tiff, the marriage ceremony having been performed by a Congregational missionary, the only parti's permitted by law in India to perform it being clergymen of the Catholic persuasion or those in orders of the Established Church, Episcopalian or PrtstOrian. The should the judges dectdelbat the marriage is not legitimate, means to take advantage of the decision as a virtual divorce. The que4on is a most impor tant one. -If Major Maclean's;marriage was irre gular, so are hundredqof otheis in India,—those supposing themielves-virtOus - Married persons, rear ing a . bloornieg , legitimate, progeny around them, being, in the eye of the la,in a „state of concubinage surrounded by bastards.' "A result so fearful may at last make the supplicatiohsi'which have for years been set up on the subject be listened to, and give us an amended Marriage Act, "of which we have so long stood greatly in need. An association of young n p a r t o i f v e e s s m o r e P en, a , t b t o r n o u a g n l d ) t Reid, e of x i t s h t e lc i e p b b i y the efforts n st6n e College, u f nder under the •name of the "Students' Literary and Scientific Society," haie just' ,published a report, from which it appears that in' the' course of the next month they intend establishing `no fewer than eight female schools within the preiidency—all to be taught gratuitously by members of the society. This is as surprising and creditable to its performers as any educational effort in our annals. The Marquis of Dalhousie has caused a tablet to be erected in St. Paul's Cathedral; Calcutta, in memory of the late Major G-. Montizambert, her Majesty's 1011 Foot—a school fellow of his Lordship's—who fell at the siege of Moultan on the 12th of September last. MOULTAN. The following letter from Moultan reached us on Wednesday the sth instant, by the steamer Bombay, via Kurrachee ' ' ' MOULTAN, AUG. 18. We have been visited lee by one of the heaVies, falls of rain 'remembered * the Moultanese. The results .have been melancholy; the town an :fort I shattered by shot, and shaken.by the terrific exp sion of the 30th of December, 1848, have been q tly cut up, walls undermittedi :: and several un appy people buried' under the ;ulna.

Another fall-vf rain will lay the famolas fort of - Moultun fla'; being - bui - it on an 01t site, Verfectly honeycombed in all directions, it is darrgerou's to ride about, the earth everywhere giving way. A major of artillery and his horse were nearly swallow 4 ed up in one of these immense fissures, and several small treasures have been. discovered to the prize agent by the ground opening. Moultan, like Surat, seems this season destined to be the victim alternately of fire and water—of the British Artillery and the Naiads. What Which was so long in effecting, and then performed but imper fectly, the waters of the Chenaub have accomplished noiselessly and without difficulty. On the 23d ult. the river, breaking through all restraint, came pour ing into the ditch, when the greater part of the bas tions, a large portion of the wall, and the whole of the counterscarp tumbled in. The fausse-braye was immediately filled with water, and nearly the whole of the huts in the Sepoy lines fell down. Two com panies of the 9th Native Infantry have lost all their musical instruments, arms, and accoutrements. The Vizierabad Eedgah, where the Rifles were quartered, came tumbling about their ears, and compelled them to seek refuge in the fort, the only place for miles around not under water. On the evening of the 24th the flood at last made its way into the cita del and rendered Moultan nearly as unsafe a place of residence as it was in December, though from a totally different cause. The horses of the artillery had escaped drowning by swimming and wading to an elevation some way off; and for miles around the whole country was one magnificent lake, studded with innumerable islands, on which the people and their live stock sought refuge, boats and rafts being in, into the only means of communication. Serious appre hensions began to be entertained that if the waters of the flood did not subside immediately, the severest privations might be apprehended, if fearful sickness did not ensue. We trust some faithful chronicler will be found to give us all particulars of the rise, duration, subsidence, and influence of this most me morable flood, and to determine whether within the period referred to by history or tradition any similar phenomenon was ever known to have occurred. The fact of stately structures being built within the reach of the overflowing water, and of these having re mained for a long lapse of time uninjured, indicates that floods of this sort are of rare occurrence. The swallow never builds on the sash window or opening casement, and mankind erect no structures where there remains any chance of their being washed away. A large overflow of water was said to have occurred some fourteen years ago, occasioned by the bursting of a bund, which continued ever after to be carefully attended to by Moolraj. There seems no reason to suppose that any such catastrophe was ever known in Moullan as the present. ocronart 3.—During the past fortnight scarcely anything has transpired likely to be of interest to the home reader. News of the almost total destruction, on the 4th ult., of the body of fanatic Moplabs, on the - Malabar coast, before whom a party of the 43(1 Madras Native Infantry had, on the 28th of August, shamefnity retreated, will already have reached home by the Madras steamer. The Grenadier company of her Majesty's 94. h Foot, ordered from Cannanore, and another of the 39th Native Grenadiers, from Paulghaut, the former under command of Major Dennis, came up on the 4th of September with the rebels, at a place called Teermanam Coonetoo. The Moplahs immediately attacked our troops, and; out of 64, all but one preferred being bayoneted to surren dering. The courage of the barbarians entitle them to respect ; they accepted no quarter, and desired nothing but vengeance at any price. One is at a loss to comprehend the nature and objects of desperation such as this. They saw themselves so outnumbered that resistance was hopeless. They had not placed themselves beyond the reach of clemency, and had no point to gain by fighting to the last, yet they threw themselves on our bayonets and have perished to a man. Major Dennis and Lieutenant Vaughan (94th) were slightly wounded, as were some dozen or so of the men,—two European soldiers being killed, and one mortally wounded. A tremendous fall of rain occurred on the day of the dispatch of last mail—upwards of five inches having been mea sured in six hours. Since then the weather has fair and open, the total fall for the season being 118 inches. The fall of the 17th was general throughout the country. At Compta, on the coast, a hurricane of unusual violence occurred on that day, destroying a number of large native craft in the harbour. The storm was felt at Cambay, Malligaum, and at Hydera bad, in Sinde, on the same day. Considerable damage has been done to some of the crops, while others have benefited by the storm. Surat has once more been the victim of fllocl, On the 18th ult. the rise of the river first began to occasion alarm, and on the follow ing day it burst everywhere into the town, rising at one time 20 feet above the highest high-water mark. The cut intended to lead the waters of the Taptee by a direct course to the sea, and so save the city from disaster, has not on the present occasion been able to accomplish the objects intended by it. The loss of property occasioned by this calamity must have been very great indeed. The Nizam's dominions, like Guzerat, have, it would appear, been deluged by the overflow of the rivers, swollen by the rains of the middle of September ; and the mud buildings in and near Hyderabad have been hid nearly as low as those of Moultan. The rains which deluged Hyderabad seem to have fallen nearly a week earlier than those which swelled the Taptee. The burst of storm which occasioned the flooding of the rivers of the Punjaub occurred when the weather was open and fine over the greater part of India. The September burst seems to have extended itself all over the bills to the north, east, and south of us; to have been experienced to a moderate extent at Madras, and severely at Calcutta. Nothing new from the Pun jaub. Sir H. Lawrence had almost entirely recovered from his late illness, and did not intend leaving Lahore for Jatnoo, as was formerly reported to be his inten tion. A fort named Shunakurghur, 18 miles from Peshawar, which commands the approach from Caubul, was to be reinforced, in order that we might be prepared for any inroad of marauders during the winter. The detachment formerly located there con sisted of one company of the 70th Native Infantry and a detail of the 136 h Irregular Cavalry. The re inforcement was to consist of two companies of the 19th Bombay Native Infantry and a rissalah of the Sinde Horse. The three companies of the 70th Native Infantry on duty at Attock were to be relieved by a similar detail from one of the corps at Rewul Pindee. Lieut. Stanford, of her Majesty's 24th Foot, died at Wuzeerabad on the sth of September. A con siderable amount of sickness still prevailed at Pesha war, Attock, and Wyzeerabad, at which latter pljice on the 13th of August, upwards of two dozen Euro peans were struck down with apoplexy. As expected, a considerable amount of sickness had broken out at Moultan on the subsidence of the waters, almost all the Europeans being laid up with fever. Captain Gell, Lieutenant of Police at Kurrachee, has been re moved from his employment and remanded to his corps. The flood of the Indus had this season attained an unusual height in Upper Sinde, and it was feared that unless the water was quickly drained off sickness would make its appearance. Sir Charles Napier and the Governoor• General leave Simla about the end of the present month for the frontier, the former pro ceeding to Peahawur on a tour of inspection. Lord , Viscount Gough is reported to have declined an in vitation from the elite of Simla to an entertainment, proposed by a deputation, " upon a principle and for motives which he thought it unnecessary to enter upon, and begged that the deputation would inform the gentlemen who had now come forward upon the eve of his :departure how greatly he regretted being unable to accept the honour they wished to do him." Sir L. Peel, Chief Justice at Calcutta, is on his way to Mussoorie. The last representative of the Holkars, the old Mahjee, died at Indore, of cholera, on the 9th of September ; and the Dewan of Kolapore, from the same disease, on the 11th. During the past month upwards of 700 persons have been cut off in Botnbay by this epidemic. _The Judges of the Su preme Court of Bombay have decided that the mar riage of Major — Maclean and Miss Pelly was a valid one. Sir W. Cotton has been indisposed, but is now convalescent. Brigadier Douglas, commanding in Upper Sinde, has been seriously ill, and it is thought likely he may have to return to Europe. ' The regu lation lately adopted in restricting the number of brigades to two held by Queen's officers in the Bom bay Presidency comes immediately into operation. At present Upper Sinde, Poonah, and Bombay are brigade commands, held respectively by Colonels Douglas, of her Majesty's 78th; Boileau, of her Majesty's 22d ; and Derinzy, of her MJjesty's 86,13. The latter cfficer, being the junior of the three, there fore retires. Should the sickness of Colonel Douglas compel him to return to Europe, Colonel Derinzy will probably remain with us till March. The order for the disbandment of the Sinde Camel Corps has ,been cancelled, and the regiment is ti be turned over to Bengal for service in the Punjaub. Dr. Patch, late of the Bombay Medical board, leaves for Eng land by the steamer of this evening, having re= signed the service. Sir J. Jejeebhoy and family have contributed 5001. to the fund for European pensioners and their families. Lieutenants G. J. 'Ashton and H. F: H. Parker, her Majesey's 53d Foot, and W. H. F. Partridge, 14th Madras Light Infantry, have been cashiered the service by sentence of general court-martial. Major Bogle, Commissioner of the Tenasserim Provinces, was severely hurt by a blow oaf the head vt ith a club, inflicted by a Burmese on the 29th of August, at Moulmein ; the Gallant Officer was not, however, considered to be in any danger. from the scarcity of supplies, and in the latter from the cause above-mentioned. Since the departure of last mail money has con tinued very abundant; in fact, we never knew it more so ; and in the absence of better employment. for it, capitalists have been investing largely in the Five per Cent. open Loan. Thore has been little cluing in the other descriptions of Government paper. In Bank shares we have no great change to report. Holders are, generally spe a ki ng , very fi rm, b ut there being few buyers, transactions are few and far be tween. There seems however to be more confidence in our joint•stock banks now than there has been for a long time past, and we hope nothing may occur to destroy this feeling. Piece Goods—Very little business has been done in any kind of cotton piece goods since the departure of last mail, the dealers having before that time pur chased largely, and been unable to get their stocks off their hands owing to the very stormy weather which prevailed. Luckily the arrival of further supplies from home during the fortnight has been light, the Lascar and Ontario being the only vessels which have entered port since last report. Some few descriptions of goods in the gray are scarce and inquired for, such as jaconets of allLdescriptions, and shirtings of 40 and 45-inch widths. The sales of these have been to the extent of 5,800 and 2,500 pieces, at prices varying from lir. to 2r. 7.16, and 4r. 11-16 to: 6r. 1-16 per piece respectively. Gray domestics have been sold to the extent of 2,240 pieces, at 7ir. to 11r. per piece. Of gray longcloths, 1,740 pieces have been sold at 4ir. per piece, a slight reduction on former prices. Stocks of gray madapollams are large, and prices have somewhat gone down. 7,600 pieces have been disposed of at 2ir. to 2r. 10a. Op. per piece. Bleached jaconets, medium qualities, are m uc h wan t e d. 1,300 pieces have been sold at 3r. 3 16 to Or. per piece. Bleached shirtings of the higher qualities are inquired for, while the lower are dull. 3,000 pieces have been sold at 4r. 7-16 to Or. 7-16 per piece. 1,000 pieces bleached madapollams, at Sr. 7-16 to 32r., have been disposed of. Cotton Yarn—ln mule twist sales to the extent of 342 bales, and in water to the extent of 105 bales, have been made during the fortnight, the former at a slight advance in price for No. 30 to 70, No. 20 being in better demand, though the price remains unaltered. There being large stocks of the latter on hand, prices of No. 20 and 30 have somewhat receded, while the value of No. 40 is as before. In dyed yarns we have only heard of two sales, one of 16 bales orange, No. 30 and 60, to 120, and another of 50 bales, No. 40 to 50, at 121 per lb. Ball Thread— 2,8801 b. at 12ia. per lb., have been disposed of. Woollens—The prices of cloth and flannels remain steady, but we have not heard of any sales. Metals—The only sales of metals during the fort night have been these in copper. The prices of brasiers and sheathing have declined, while that of nails has improved. The value of British iron, nail rod, hoop, and bar, has also increased, while that of Swedish steel has receded. Beer—Only one sale of 105 hhds. of Allsop's has been effected at 60r. per hhd., aad our quotations may be considered nominal. Spirits—Both brandy and gin are dull of sale. Marine Stores—Pew transactions. Canvas, paints, spirits of turpentine, and linseed oil thin. Cordage in better demand, at a slight advance in price. Cochineal—No sales reported. Oar quotation is readily obti-inablefor good r.ilvcr. Saffron—None in first hands, and in much inquiry. EXPORTS. Cotton Wool—Last accounts from home have caused a further advance in prices, purchases of 2,100 bales of Dhollera and 1,000 bales of Broach having been made since yesterday ; the former at 99kr. to 100 r., the latter at 91ir. per candy. The market continues rather bare, but large supplies may now speedily be looked for. Upwards of 500 can dies which had been shipped at Compta for Bombay were destroyed in that port by a storm of the 17th ult., ls of the vessels on board of which it had been embarked having been driven on shore and wrecked. Last advices for the Canton market for this staple are also favourable. Opium—Little doing, and prices nomivally some what lower than at last report—viz., 1,325.1% per chest The produce of next season's crop in Malwa will, it is said, be somewhere about 22,000 chests. THE PUNJAUB. We have letters from Peshawur to the 14th inst., with a report on the weather for the month of August. Prom this latter we learn that the highest range of the thermometer during the month had been 104 degrees at four o'clock, P.M. ; the lowest, at sunrise, 81 degrees; the midday maximum 101 degrees ; the midnight ditto, 100 degrees. The month had not, however, been characterised, as would be supposed by the indications of the thermometer, by any unusual degree of heat over those which had just preceded it; it even showed that the mercury did not range so high as it had done in May, June, and July ; yet we regret to find that more fatal cases of apoplexy had occurred amongst the European troops during August than in any month since our occupation of the pro vince. In the middle of the month there had been a succession of exceedingly close and suffocating nights, and in the space of three days no fewer than twelve Europeans had died from apoplexy of the lungs alone : several of these having been cut off in their barracks unknown to their comrades during the night, without having previously complained of anything ailing them. During the entire month the casual. ties had been 30, of which 26 were Europeans ' and four natives. Of the former, two belonged to the third company first battalion, and one to the de tachment of Bengal Foot Artillery, seven to the 61st Foot, three to the third troop of Bombay Horse, and one to the second company, first battalion, Bombay Foot Artillery, eight to the 69th Rifles, and four to the Bombay Fusileers. Of the latter, one each be longed to the 31st Bengal Native Infantry, 13th Bengal Irregular Cavalry, and 3d And 19th Bombay Native Infantry. The whole force consisted of 9,154 men, of whom 498 had been on the sick list, or 5f per cent. The prevailing diseases had been bowel affections, fevers, and opthalinia. At the date of our letters sickness was on the decrease, both amongst the natives and Europeans. The hot weather had passed, and the cold was setting in—the nights and mornings being delightful, especially to those who had suffered from the previous heat. Throughout the month of August thunderstorms, with rain, had been of frequent occurrence, the effect of which, in cooling the atmo sphere, had been felt for several days after their advent. Heavy rain fell on the 7th, 9th, 15th, 16th, 17th, 20th, and 29th, and on several occasions light showers had fallen. During the time it was raining on the 15th the thermometer bad fallen twenty-sight degrees in two hours ! During the month there had been a beautiful display of brilliant meteors—red, blue, and green—in the lower regions of the atmo sphere. As many as twenty had frequently been counted in an hour. Their direction was principally from north-west to south-east, but often to and from other points of the compass.

BOMBAY, TUESDAY EVENING, OCT. 2. The monsoon may now be considered over, and the trade of the port will shortly, we trust, resume with the activity usual on its close. All over the In terior the crops promise an abundant harvest, which augurs well for a brisk demand for our home fabrics on the termination of the Dewallee holydays, now near at hand, when upcountry dealers will begin to forward goods into the interior and down the coast. But little businesFi, either in exports or imports, has been done during the past fortnight--in the former FREIGHTS. We have again to rep)rt great want of activity iu our freight market, but the firmness of consignees prevents rates from falling, and our quotations remain without material change. 'We give them as follows : —To London, 31. to 31. ss. ; Liverpool, 31. ss. to 31. 7s. Gd. per ton. To China, 10r. per candy, and Calcutta, 3:25r. to 345 r. per rass for salt. EXCHANGE. Until the end of last week the rate for six months' sight bills was nominally at Is. 10-id., and would doubtless have gone lower owing to the non-arrival of the China steamer until last night, but one of the banks having raised its rate to ls. 100., buyers came forward very freely, and considerable transactions have been the result. To•day the bank broker has been selling Oriental bank draughts at Is. 100. six months' sight, and Is. 10id. thirty days' sight. Russell's and Jardine's bills have also found pur chasers at is. lOid., but buyers look for better rates. Court of Directors' bills on Calcutta were sold yes terday at par, sixty days' sight.

The Express, with - London dates to the 7th of August last, arrived on the 13th, followed by tho regular mail on the 15th inst. In the colonial mar kets at home the inquiry fur East India produce was less active, and the value of some articles have become lower. Money was, however, superabundant, and the prospects of the harvest most satisfactory. Our produce market, since the date of our last report, has exhibited that increased degree of activity usually observable before the commencement of the Doorga Poorja holydayi, when holders of country goods are anxious to realize, and shippers and agents to load and clear out their ships previous to the cessa tion of business. Buyers and sellers have conse quently, freely met each other, all par ties feeling that they had no time to waste i n bargaining. The reports from the indigo districts, with one or two unimportant exceptions, continue to be very satisfactory the crops in the neighbourhood of Mirzapore have materially recovered from the backward state into which they had been thrown by the long protracted drought, and the total oat turn cannot now be estimated at less than 1,18,000 to 1,20,000 maunds. The exports up to date amount to 36,0113 chests, containing 1,32,705 maunds, of Ns hick 26,663 chests have gone to Great Britain and 6,482 chests to France. Up to the arrival of the 7th of August mail the demand for sugar con tinued active, and a large business has bean trans acted. Saltpetre has continued in steady inquiry for the American market, and the demand for home ship ments has increased, although chiefly confined to the medium and lower sorts. Rice has attracted a little more notice for the English market. The stocks of safflower have been reduced to a small quantity of bad and mixed qualities, which were held at prices ranging much above their proper value.

No doubt the reader would esteem it strange, If Moses' Mrise forgot the Coal Exchange ; And, therefore, as the Queen's to come, I'll greet her, By writing on the coals a little metre. 31.1 y burning loyalty I cannot smother, Nor yet exchange this subject for another. The Queen, no doubt, will find her subjects give her A very warm. reception on the river. Success, I say, to that commercial scheme Whose memorable opening forms my theme ; For, oh ! each portion of the pile is rife, With fond id,gts of home and homely life. And now, shall I be quitting the sublime, By introducing Moses in my rhyme? No : Moses, who have long enjoyed control, Are nobs in trade—l don't mean knobs of coal. Moses and Son's attire is so well made' That it has long en , ured a flare-up trade. Moses and Son. whose words ne'er end in smoke, Have given monopoly a timely poke ; May I not add, too, that the Coal Excuango Is not by any' means the sole Exchange ? Moses and Son at their Depot arrange, To exchange your goods without a word's exchange ; And hence it is that such a stir is made By Messrs. ?doses in their flaming trade. LLIT OF PRICES. REIDY MADE.

Ccrahs have also ten Ale S sue new jute sells freely at 11 to 11 , per bale. The Americans have exported 33 . 803 maunds of linseed since the Ist inst. The import market is closing rather heavily. This may be accounted for by the fact that 'goods pur chased shortly before the vacation cannot be placed en route for the Upper Provinces until its termination, and the knowledge of heavy imports during the past fortnight of goods which are likely to be offered for when business commences, added to the proba bility i of stocks bein g f urt h er i ncreased by fresh arrivals n the interim, deters dealers from - being active in their operations. A fair amount of business has, nevertheless, been done in gray shirtings and Manchester cloths. Some particular kinds of Scotch fabrics sell well, while others are difficult of sale. The higher numbers of mule twist are still in excel lent request, with an upward tendency in price; the lower numbers are neglected, and have declined in value. Metals continue dull. Copper has slightly improved. All kinds of iron are depressed, and lower in value. Shelter may be quoted at 7r. 61. to 7r. Ba. Sheet lead has fallen to 7r. 3a. The money-market remains unaltered, and abun dantly supplied. Company's paper is quoted at 4a. to Ba. discount New Fives; 1-4 to 1-8 Sicca ditto; 14 to 14 8 Company's Fours; 15 to 15.8 Sicca ditto. The subscriptions to the New Five per Cent. Loan have lately received a considerable increase, chiefly from the Bombay Presidency. Bank of Bengal Shares are not wanted, and a few Agra Bank Shares have been forced upon the market at 475. Exchange continues steady at 1 101- to 10i, the bulk of transactions being at 1 10i- for six months' paper. Since the date of our last report, freights have un dergone considerable fluctuations; the rate to London came down to 41 for dead weight, but they have since rallied, and may now be quoted at 41. ss. to 41. 7s. 6d. for tonnage in ships clearing before the holidays. To Liverpool the rate is 41. to 41. 2s. 6d. *. Indigo-The weather has since our last issue con tinued most favourable for all planters' operations, and it is generally admitted that a succession of such propitious six weeks as those last past has not been experienced for many seasons. To this circumstance, just happening at the most momentous time, must be attributed the unexpectedly improved result of the general out-turn, of which the estimates now run up to 118,000 to 120,000 reminds, and these may be considered as a nearly established fact, most of the leading concerns having closed their labours. Sugar-A slight decline in freight established shortly after the departure of last mail, combined with a more general inclination to realise before the holydays, offered inducement to buyers for renewed active operations, particularly since holders met 2a. to 4a. reduced bids rather freely, and extensive business obtained, which was, however, less spiritedly followed up since the arrival of the home letters, with dates to the 7th of August. The reported transactions since our last issees are-6,000 bags Benares, first Br. 10a. to Br. 14a.; second, Br. 2a. to Br. Ba.; third, 7r. 9a. to Br, ; 800 bags Nirzapore dull grayish low white , , 7r. 4a. to lr. 12a.; 1,950 bags of Durnina grays, Or. 14a. to 7r. ; yellows, Gr. 6a. to Or. 12a.; browns, sr. Ba. to Gr. 3a. ; 400 bags of Gurpatta grayish yellow, 6r. 7a. to Gr. 9a. ; 2,000 bags of Seebpore Vacuum sort, good yellow, Br. Ga. Saltpetre-To a steady and not inconsiderable de mand for the Arnefican markets, an increased in quiry for home shipments made itself frit, the later being mostly directed to the medium and lower sorts, which by consequent competition improved 2a. to 3a., whilst the superior kinds were only with difficulty disposed of, at unaltered rates. The reported trans actions since our last amount to 500 bags of good to fine, Or. 9a. to Gr. 15a. ; 530 bags of Mozufferpore, Or. Ba. ; 2,400 begs of Allygunge, Or. to Or. 8a.5 3,200 bags of Chnpre, sr. Sa. to Gr. Ric•-This pulse has rwq with some inquiry for Great Britain, and about 5,C00 bags of Table torts have been dispoA.d of-good bold, lr. ISa. to 2r.; fair, lr. 12a. to ir. 14a. The demand for the kinds suitable to the Mauritius continues, and rates are slightly improved in the reported sales of about 11,000 bags of Belem, at lr. la. 9p. to lr. 2a. Safflewer-We have no transaction to report since our last, the stock being reduced to a mere trifle of badly mixed qualities, held much above their value. Raw Silk-In our last report we remarked that the better qualities of this staple had come into greater demand; this demand has been well sustained, and in some instances has been extended to the inferior qualities, which, however, are still generally neglected. The silk market has been more active than we have witnessed it at any period during the past twelve months. Reported sales-70 maunds of Cossimbazar silk, at Or. Ba. per Fv. seer ; 16, at 7r. 6a.; 9-.0. at r. 7a. ; 80, at 7r. Ba. ; 15, at 7r. 12a.; 27, at Br. 9a.; 20, at Br. 10a. ; 112 maunds of Gonateah, at Gr. 2a. per ditto ; 14 maunds of Radnagore, at sr. 2a. per Benares seer, 16 at Gr. Ba.; 25 maunds of Hurry paul, at 7r. la. ; 25, at 7r. 24.; 25, at 7r. 3a. ; 25, at 7r. 4a. ; 22, at 7r. Ba. ; 25 at Sr. per ditto. Silk Piece Goods--The inquiry which sprang up for the ordinary and superior descriptions of coral's has continued with unabated eagerness, and the oper ations in that article have consequently been exten sive. Reported sales-1,000 pieces Cossimbazer silk coral's, at 95r. per corge ; 2,000, at 97r. ; :eOO, at 98r. ; 1,000, at 100 r. ; 10,000, at 102 r. ; 500, at 103 r. ; 3,000, at 104 r. ; 4,000, at 110 r.; 1,000, at 113 r.; 5,900, at 120 r. [PRICE SD. Shellac and Lac Dye—The demand for these p:o -ducts is but moderate, which may, perhap s , b e ascribed to the market being rather bare of desirable qualities of lac dye. Reported sales-51 boxes Mir zapore shell lac, at 9r. 4s. per miund ; 50 boxes Beerbhoom, at 9r. 4a. ; 50, at 9r.12a. ; 160, at 9r. 14a. ; 50, at 10r. ; 50, at 10r. 41.; and ICO boxes Beerbhoom lac, at 22r. Ba. per ditto. Hides—These goods continue in good demand both for the British and American market, especially the heavy and better description of hides. The bazaar is now bared of all the good qualities of hides, and the imports have fallen off considerably. Conti nental buyers are still inactive in this market. The Americans continue to be extensive buyers of goat skins, heavy cow and buffalo hides. Reported sales -1;350 pieces of green cow, at 23r. per corge ; 2,000 of Gauzepore slaughtered green cow, at 32r. ; 1,400 of Calcutta slaughtered green cow, at 35r. ; 4,000 at 33r. Juts—This favourite article for light freight con tinues in good demand. The produce of the new crop is coming more plentifully to market, and is readily placed as it arrives, at 11r. to 11r. 23. per bale. Re- ported sales-150 bales of old Jute at Br. per bale; 50 at Br. Ba. ; 400 at Dr.; 150 at Se. 81.; 500 at 9r. 12a. ; 250 at 10r. 2a.; 3,200 new at 11r. ; 1,000 at 11r. 2a. Oilseeds—The Americans still continue to be the principal operators in linseed, which, it will be ob served from our exports, they have taken very exten sively. The British market is attracting some ship ments of mustard seed. Reported sales-450 bags linseel at 2r. 3a. per maund ; 150 C, 2r. 3a. 6p.; 350 at 2r. 4a. 6p. Cutch—No sales are reported. Ginger—R-ported sales--200 maunds dry gir ger at 3r. Ga. per maund ; 500 ut 3r. 7a. Rum—The only reported transaction in this spirit is one f 100 hhds, at sia. per gallon. Opium—Af er the last sale the prices of the drug fell to 990 to 995 for Patna, and 1 004 for Benares • rates af er wards impr ove d t o 1, 000 for Patna, and 1,015 Benares. Our quotations now are, 995 to 990 for Patna ; there is no Benares in the market. IMPORTS FROM EUROPE. British Cotton Piece Goods—Our last report was dated the 7th inst., and dispatched per Bentinek steamer, since when our import market has been rather less lively, owing to a falling off in demand, occasioned partly by the near approach of the Doorga Pooja holidays, and partly, no doubt, by somewhat heavy arrivals during the past fortnight. Business closes this day with a very moderate inquiry for goods, and with abundant supplies of most descripions, which will doubtless be considerably increased during the holidays, so that chances appear to be in favour of lower rather then higher prices on the resumption of busluess in October. The demand for fine gray shirtings has continued unabated, while in Manchester cloths generally there has been a fair amount of bu siness doing. Some kinds of Scotch fabrics still bear a high value, while on the other hand many are exceedingly difficult of sale. Mule twist in No. 50 and upwards has continued to attract a goof deal of attention, and prices of these numbers are well supported. No. 40 and downwards are lower in value. I has rallied sale, while aolthitetlreo,iebsactrimptoisotnkskin of r ri o n m e a t r a e ls, dl o e t r. only in a very moderate demand. Gray Shirtings—Reported sales effected since our last amounted to about 69,000 pieces, including all sorts; 66 and 72 reed cloths continue in lively re quest, and sell readily at good value. All of the IJwer kinds of 40-inch goods, however, are again a trifle down, dema n d h a vi ng grea tly subsided simul taneously with considerable imports and previous ample supplies. A good demand at full prices still prevails fur all sorts of 45-inch cloths. White shirtings continue without *lunge except ing as far as regards common qualities, which are now almost unsaleable, and their bazaar value is unquestionably lower; meanwhile stocks are increas ing. Total sales since our last only amount to about 11,500 pieces. Imports in August, 44,950 pieces. White Twills—These gond3 continue to do well, and stocks keep moderate. Imports in August, 1,330 pieces. 11Iadapollams—Bo'h gray and white cloths are somewhat lower in value, and inquiry is comparatively languid. Imports in August, white, 3,405 piece:4; gray, 16,314 pieces. J acconets —Demand for grays has continued very slack, so that sales have been small, and prices n,-
