ivIONE Y MARKET COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, Two o'CLou Advices from Liverpool state that the Cotton Market yesterday closed with much tightness, and prices of American descriptions were fully id. per lb. dearer than last week. The sales were esti mated at 12,000 bales, 500 of which were taken for export, and 2,005 on speculation. The Rail way Share Market closed steadily, and prices were fully maintained. The Colonial Produce Markets this week have been more animated, and full prices have been supported. A good inquiry has existed for most descriptions of sugar at an advance of 6d. per cwt., but an additional enhancement having been asked purchasers have operated cautiously. In coffee the transactions have been numerous, at former prices. Cocoa has been steady, and rice 6d. per cwt. cheaper. The public sales of tea passed off rather flatly, and common scented orange Pekoe and common colory were disposed of at rather lower rates. A scarcity of saltpetre is still experienced, and the recent improvement is consequently maintained. Pimento and pepper are rather cheaper, but other descriptions of spices ruled firm. Cochineal realised full prices. Tallow has been rather heavy. The various German Banks are lowering their terms of discount, and confidence in the early restoration of ease is increasing. Although an active business in silver is still transacted there is an absence of speculative excitement, and in Paris also affairs are improving, both with regard to finance and commerce. It is expected that an early opportunity will be taken by the Bank of Prance to remove some of the discount restrictions lately imposed. The reduction of per cent. on the minimum rate of discount has disappointed those who were in expectation that the quotation would at once be lowered to 6 per cent. When all the circumstances connected with the money market are carefully con sidered, however, it will be found that the medium *Curse has been wisely adopted. The speculation in silver continues very active, and gold, conse quently, will leave this country in payment for the purchases of that metal. Besides this, an altera tion to the extent of one per cent. would be likely to induce speculation. The Bank now discounts six months' bills as well as those of I, three months' date, and the charge made for loans on Consols had been reduced to 61 per cent. The discount houses now allow 4 7 5 - per cent., and the joint stock establishments 51 per cent. for deposits on call. There is a very active inquiry for money to-day at the reduced rate, notwithstanding the 4th of the month is passed. The fact is, however, parties deferred borrowing until the result of the par lour meeting was ascertained, and the demand is Oow brisk in consequence. There is a buoyant market for public securities, but although this is the last day on which transfers of stock can be made, as the books are closed to morrow, the transactions are very limited. It expected that the Bank return, to appear in this evening's Gazette, will be very favourable, 111 4 this tends to increase the firmness of the barket. Consols have been 94 for money, and 45 i k for account. The New Three per Cents. ar e 93.194 k, and the Reduced 931 Bank Stock le 215 to 217, and India Stock 225. Exchequer Bills remain at ss. to Bs. premium, and the Bonds are 98k. The Foreign Market is rather animated, and the quotations are generally well maintained.

ARCHES COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Sir J. Dodson, D ean o f th e C o urt of Ar c h es ). I To-day was appointed forthe delivery of the judgment of the learned judge of this court relative to the appeal of the Venerable and Reverend Denison, Ara deacon of Taunton, in the diocese of Bath and Wells, against the sentence of deprivation recently pronounced against him by the Archbishop of Canterbury relative to his erroneous doctrine on the Holy Eucharist. The learned judge took his seat on the bench punctu ally at 10 o'clock. But few persons were in the court, and little interest appeared to be manifested in the result —partly owing, probably, to the locality of the court being unknown to the public, and the disinclination of those who knew its whereabouts to thread the intricate mazes of the neighbourhood in a dense fog, with a drizzling rain falling at the same time. The learned judge, in delivering his judgment, which was a very lengthy and elaborate one, said that in this case proceedings were cora rn en ced against the Archdeacon of Taunton by the Rev. J. Ditcher, vicar of South Brent, for having preached at the cathedral church of Wells, and also for having published within the same diocese several sermons with notes, prefaces, and appendice, and therein maintained doc trines repugnant and contrary to the articles of religion agreed to by Convocation in 1562, and against the statute of 13th of Elizabeth. The proceedings, in refer ence to this charge, took place at Bath before the Arch bishop of Canterbury, and after hearing evidence on both sides, he pronounced judgrrient of deprivation against the venerable Archdeacon of Taunton, and from that sentence it was proposed to appeal to him (the Dean of Arches). He confessed he was much surprised when be heard of such a proposal as an appeal from the decision of the Primate of all England, and metropolitan to him (the Dean of Arches), his inferior, and which was anomalous, and contrary to practice, that ofappealing from a superior to an inferior officer that had been appointed by the superior, and was very much like what the coun sel for the Venerable Archdeacon had said on a former occasion, " turning things topsy.turvy." The question which the Court had to consider was, whether the act entertained the question of appeal as, now proposed. With regard to the merits of the case; as between the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Venerable Arch- 1 deacon, he had nothing to do, and be should confine himself to the statute (the Church Discipline Act) in considering this application. After minutely and exten sively considering the various sections of the act, the learned judge said that he could hardly conceive that, when the Archbishop of Canterbury sat at Bath in this case, that he was merely the mouth-piece of the Bishop of Bath and Wells, who was unable to take part in the proceedings. The act expressly stated that when the archbishop sat in such a case as this the appeal should be to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. That he believed to be the true meaning of the act, and it was not for him to say whether the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council would entertain it or not—that Court being com petent to decide foritself whether it would entertain it or not after it had heard the arguments. It never could have been the intention of the Legislature that there should be an appeal, the archbishop sitting in such court, to the same archbishop in the Court of Arches of his own province, and before an inferior officer of his own appointing. Under these circumstances he pronounced against the appeal, and rejected the libel that had been offered. He knew that the case was sur rounded with difficulties, and that the Act of Parliament was worded in a very extraordinary manner ; but at the same time he must repeat what he had already said, that he did not believe that it was ever intended by the Legis• lature that there should be an appeal from the decision of the Archbishop of Canterbury, in a case of this kind, to the same archbishop in an inferior court. The Clerk of the Court—The Court declares the rejec- tion of the libel in the usual way, without relaxing the inhibition. Dr. Phillimore said that he trusted that the Court would not relax the inhibition until he bad bad an oppor• tunity of ascertaining what course would be taken in consequence of the decision of the Court. Sir J. Dodson—Very well. Then I will only reject the ibel in the usual way. The libel was accordingly rejected, and the appeal will now have to be made to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, which will have the effect of canning considerable delay, and give an opportunity o f d e p r i v i ng - • • - • - the sentence of the Archbishop of any practical effect. MARKET NEWS.—(This Pay.) CORN EXCHANGE. Fresh up to-day the supply of English wheat was very moderate, and the show of samples was consequently small. Fine dry qualities were in fair request, at full prices, but other kinds were rather dull, 14 Monday's cur rency. The imports of foreign wheat have been good, viz., 18,461 qrs. Most descriptions met a slow inquiry, never theless late rates were supported. Floating cargoes of grain were rather firmer than on Monday, but the business doing in them was not ex tensive. We had a moderate sale for barley, at Monday's quota ions. Malt continues dull, on former terms. The supply of foreign oats being very extensive, inferior qualities were dull, and rather cheaper. Fine samples ruled firm. Beans, peas, and flour were unaltered in value. ARRIVALS TlllB WEEK. Barley. Malt. English .. 3,670 2,920 Irish .. •• — Foreign 1 I 18,460 7,590 ( Wheat. 2,140 Oats.

Although the show of sheep was limited the mutton trade was in a depressed state, and late rates were barely supported.

The supplies on the market being still very limited, business to any extent has been in setae measure checked. Notwithstanding a good demand exists both for home use and for speculation.

To-day was appointed for the last examination ender the bankruptcy, and the Court was orowded to excess. The directors were in attendance and surrendered, and received protection. A discussion ensued, in which Mr. Linklater, Mr. Reed, and Mr. Lawrence spoke at great length, each party justifying the excuse which had been adopted throughout these perplexing proceedings, but led to ro result. 'Mr. Linklater said that it was clear that the exami• nation should be adjourned, and suggested that the examination should be adjourned for two months, by which time he had no doubt the accounts would be filed. The adjournment accordingly took place. A dividend meeting has been advertised for the 23d instant, but whether it will be declared is not yet known. The proceedings were carried on with considerable warmth on bOth sides. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. —(This Day. CLE RIK EN WE LL. THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY FRAUDS. In accordance with the remand, Leopold Redpath, and John Comyns Kent were again placed at .the bar, charged with defrauding the Great Northern Railway Company of large sums of money. Mr. Giffard attended on the part of the prosecution, and Red path and Kent were defended by Mr. Wontner and Mr. Hawkins. It will be recollected that at the last examination six charges of fraud were made ont against the pri soners, and the means adopted by Redpath to effect his object were to cause Kent to alter the transfer tables to sleet certain cases of fraud, by which circumstance a large amount of dividend was dishonestly obtained. The charges proceeded with to-day consisted of four statut able cases of forgeries of transfers of stock, the sums be ing for 1,875, 2,5001. A Stock, and 600/. B Stock. Some of the forgeries were in the names of existing per sonages, others fictitious. We have so fully reported the previous examinations, and the present one differing in no essential particular from those already published, that we abstain from a lengthened report of the examin ation to-day. Evidence having been adduced to substantiate the charge made against the prisoners by Mr. Giffard, they were again remanded. MARLBORO'UGH-STREET. A COUPLE or PICKPOCKETS. —CaroIine Jones and Ann Jones, two women of the town, were brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with stealing a purse containing a sovereign and a quantity of postage stamps, the pro. perty of John Prince, library attendant at the Army and Navy Club. The prosecutor deposed that about half-past 10 last night he was proceeding through St. James's-square on his way home when the prisoner Ann Jones came up to him, and continued to walk alongside of him for some distance in spite of his efforts to rid himself of her society. His purse was at that time safe in his waist coat pocket, and in the course of conversation he felt her hands fumbling about him, and on put ting his hand into his waistcoat pocket he missed his purse, containing a sovereign and several post age stamps. He at once laid hold of her arm and taxed her with the theft, which she stoutly denied. The other prisoner then came up and asked what was the matter, and begged him to let her sister go. He refused to do so and called out 'Police "as loud as he could, and in the meanwhile a man came up and said there must be some mistake, and advised him to feel in his pocket again, when no doubt he would find his purse all right. Witness did feel in his pocket, and sure enough he there found his purse, minus the contents. A policeman at that moment came up and the man walked off. He, however, gave the pri soners into custody. In reply to Mr. Bingham, the prosecutor said he felt the purse thrust into his pocket by some one, but could not tell who it was. Neither the money nor the stamps had been found. The prisoners who denied the charge were committed ;0 the House of Correction for three months. SOUTHWARK. MORE GAROTTING.—James Harrington, a powerful looking fellow, was brought before Mr. Burcham, charged with committing a serious assault on Harriet Scottering, and robbing her of nine sovereigns, under the following circumstances : William Layton, brother of the injured female, said that on the previous night, about 10 o'clock, he was going with his sister down Kent street, to put her in a cab to go to the City. In passing along witness was knocked down by one of the prisoner's companions, and his sister was also knocked down and severely injured. She was taken to a neighbour's house, when it was dis covered that she had been robbed of 91. 7s. Witness was also severely injured, but he managed to catch hold of the prisoner and hand him over to the custody of a police•constable. Mr. Burcham asked where Mrs. Scattering was ? Witness replied that she was se ill from the violence inflicted on her that she was unable to leave her bed. The prisoner and his companions must have followed her from a public-house elose by where she had exhibited her money, and that she was seized by the throat sud denly, and nearly throttled. Witness was also served in a similar manner, but he bad no money about him. Police-constable 157 M said that he heard the cries of marder in Kent-street on the previous night, but on proceeding to the spot he saw the prisoner struggling with last witness, who gave him in charge for assault and robbery. There were two other females and two men running away, who, the witness said, had assisted in the robbery. Mr. Burcham asked whether any of the money was found on the prisoner ? The constable replied in the negative. The female was so severely injured that at present she was hardly able to state what sum she had about her. He asked for a remand to enable him to apprehend the other parties. The prisoner, who stoutly denied the charge, was ac cordingly remanded until Thursday next. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(This Day.)

THE BULLION ROBBERY.—A rumour was prevalent in the City yesterday afternoon that Tester, for whose apprehension a warrant was granted a week ago, charging him with being implicated with Pierce and Burgess in the bullion robbery, had communicated to the prosecutors his intention of surrendering himself at the Mansion-house on Wednesday next, when the pri soners Pierce and Burgess will be brought up for further examination, The contract between the Government and the Euro pean and Australian Royal Mail Company, together with the programme of the mail service to be performed by the company for the ensuing year, was published yesterday. According to the programme the first steamer will leave Southampton, with a mail to be con veyed via Egypt, on the 24th of February next ; and the supplementary mail, via Marseilles, is to leave Lon don on the 2d of March next. The steamer is to reach Alexandria March 8, leave Suez on the 11th, reach Melbourne April 19, and Sydney the 221. Subsequently the Australian mail will leave Southampton on the 12th of the month, reach Alexan dria on Cie 24th, ' , aye Suez on the 27th, reach Melbourne on the sth of the 2d month subsequently, and Sydney on the 9th. The usual time allowed for replies at Sydney will be 48 hours. The first steamer will leave Sydney with a mail for England via Egypt on the 11th of April next. It will be due in London via Marseilles on the 30th of May next, and at Southampton at midnight on the sth June. The Australian mailacket will in all cases leave Sydney on the 11th o f the month, arrive at Melbourne on the 13th, leave Melbourne on the 15th, arrive at Suez on the 20th or 21st of the following month, leave Alexan dria on the 23d or 24th, arrive in London on the 29th or 30:h, and at Southampton on the 4th or sth of the suc ceeding month. The Australian mail packets will stop a day and a half at Melbourne on their outward voyage, and two days on their voyage homeward. They will occupy twelve days between Southampton and Alexandria, three days between Alexandria and Suez, thirty-nine days between Suez and Melbourne, and four days (including a stoppage) between Melbourne and Sydney. The whole distance between London and Melbourne via Marseilles will be performed in 49 days, and the dis tance between London and Sydney will be performed in 52 days. The mail contract between the European and Aus tralian Royal Mail Company and the Government has been ratified on the part of the conspany by John Orr Ewing, of Rath° ; Walter Buchanan, of Shandon ; Allan Gilmour, of Eaglesham; John Sterling, of Kippingdarie; John Dunbar, of Holine ; James Galbraith, of Glasgow; Niel Black, of Dunoon ; John Houldsworth, of Glasgow; William Connal, of Glasgow ; Thomas Augustus Gibb, of London ; and Robert Smith and John Pender, of Manchester. They agree to provide not less than six steamers to perform their contract. Those employed between Southampton and Alexandria are to be 1,600 tons burden and 400-horse power, and those between Suez and Australia are to be 2,200 tans and 530-horse power. They are to provide also steamers to convey the Australian mails between Malta and Marseilles of 500 tons burden and 200-horse power. The mail-packets are to touch at Point de Galle on their outward voyages, and at King George's Sound and Point de Galle on the homeward one. The Alexandria packets are to touch at Malta. The company are eompelled to deliver the mails from Sydney at Southampton in 51 days, exclusive of time occupied in stopping at Melbourne, crossing the isthmus of Suez, and calling at King George's Sound, and from Southampton to Sydney in 54 days, exclusive of similar stoppages. If they fail to do so, they are to forfeit 501. for the first day time, 100/. forthe second day, 1501. for the third day, and so on. For every day under the 51 and 54 days respectively in which they convey the mail between the two ports, they are to receive a premium of 301. a day. If the company fail to have a steamer ready to put to sea with the mails at the appointed tune at any one of the mail ports, they are to forfeit 1001. a day. The company ar e bound to provide accommodation on board their packets for any naval officer or Post-office official who shall be appointed to take charge of the mails on beard. The company are bound also to convey a certain number of naval and military officers, civilians, non-commissioned and warrant officers, seamen, ma• rines, and soldiers, if required to do so. The sum to be paid to the company by the Government for the convey aoce of the Australian mails is to be 185,0001. a year, which is to include the mail service between Southamp ton and Sydney, and between Malta and Marseilles. A proportionate part is to be paid at the completion of every entire voyage. The 43vernment are allowed to purchase or charter the company's packets if they please. The contract is to last five years. Should the company . . fail to perform their contract, they must pay a penalty of 25,0001. - - - CHINESE POLITICS. FOO-CLIOW-FOO, OCT. 7. Two nearly simultaneous announcements of a grave character have occurred to flutter our deadly-lively com munities in this part of the world. The one is the appearance of a kind of politico-geogra phical treatise at Pekin, in which the relations of China to her nearest neighbours and also to the maritime Powers are reviewed. The author betrays a considerable and accurate knowledge of the conflict of interests subsisting between the great Powers of Europe and Russia, and of the designs of the latter upon the empire of the world. He inclines to the conclusion that, for the present at least, the maritime Powers are more to be apprehended than Russia by the patriots of the " Flowery Land," whose true policy he declares to consist in keeping well with all, and playing them off against Russia and each against the other. The other announcement is of a more official nature, but it is like unto the first. I have it from the French Jesuit missionaries at Shanghai, the French consulate at the same place, and the French bishop at Ningpo, between which last port and Chusan there is nearly daily access, and a run of but a very few hours. The French missionaries in Chusan are vouched by each of my in formants for the truth of the story, and it is hard to ' conceive that one so circumstantial can be entirely groundless. It is briefly this :—Russia has concluded at Pekin a treaty with China. Three thousand acres of land and a safe harbour upon the west coast of Chusan are ceded in perpetuity by the "Son of Heaven" to the Czar. A Russian Consul-General, with ample diplomatic powers, has , been nominated and accepted, and will reside at the fort, which is to be immediately commenced on that site. He is authorised to appoint, without needing confirmation, three other consuls and diplomatic agents for other provinces of the Chinese empire. Chusan is quite unsuitable for commerce, unless con ducted by means of steam-ships ; and even for these there is no perfectly secure anchorage and shelter against typhoons. The tremendous and ever-varying currents render this archipelago peculiarly dangerous for sailing ships : but those who are familiar with the traditional policy of St. Petersburg know that the interests of com merce are not those with which it concerns itself. The crisis, however, is favourable. England, America, and France are under the necessity of renewing for an other term their several treaties with China, all of which have expired, or are now expiring. A revision of each of those treaties has long been felt to be required upon other grounds. Will the " favoured nation clause," which occurs in the subsisting treaties, be overlooked when the revision takes place ; or is Russia to continue, in the face of that clause, to enjoy the sole privilege of a diplomatic representative at Pekin, and this, too, at the moment that she has obtained a participation with the three Powers in the advantages first wrested from the Chinese Emperor by our Treaty of Nankin But I do not think that any revision will be effectual unless negotiated at Pekin. It the three Powers, laying aside their jealousies (which here, at least, will be quite out of place), would only agree to negotiate in concert, that would be a❑ additional pledge of the good success of what each has at heart. Their is fair water-carriage for their men-of-war almost to the gates of Pekin ; and of course the vessels which convey the sacred persons of their representatives thither will be men-of-war, and bone other. The rebellio❑ is consolidated and settled in the pro vinces hitherto subdued, and is now spreading abroad. Were it not that the mountain passes of this province are guarded by some 30,000 of the best drilled Tartars of the Imperial army, under a rare and energetic man darin, Fokien would long ere now have adhered to the movement. Disaffection is rife in every part of this never entirely conquered province. It is now whispered that the Tai-pings will make an effort to force the passes, notwithstanding the Tartar garrisons, and give the mal contents a chance. Soo-chow-foo, a large and wealthy city to the norti:- ward of us, having more than 1,000,000 of inhabitants, is said to have fallen into the hands of the Tai-ping Wang, and he is also reported to be threatening Hang chow, on the direct road to Ningpo, from the rebel head• quarters. But these late tidings of rebel successes need confirmation. What is quito certain is, that the Tai ping Wang continues to tolerate every form of Chris tianity within his own dominions, and is issuing edicts for the protection of commerce and transit, and other wise purposes, as an established Emperor ought. REPRESENTATION OF SOUTHAMPTON. Mr. Carden, a barrister, and a brother of Sir R. Carden, of London, has issued an address announcing himself as a candidate for the representation of the bo rough. lie professes himself a Liberal Conservative. Mr. Weguelin and Sir Edward Butler are actively canvassing daily. About 500 electors have signed a requisition calling on Mr. Richard Andrews to become a candidate. As soon as he gets 1,000 signatures he will announce him self a candidate. The chief advisers of Mr. Edwin James declare that be has not resigned, and that he will not resign his pretensions to represent the borough. He was expected at Southampton last night. lie has won golden opinions for the defence of t he libert y of the press in the cas e of " Lord Lucan v. t he Dail y New s." The utmost political excitement prevail s at present in the town. THE AUST.4ALIAN MAIL SERVICE. STATE OP TRADE. NOTTINGHAM, Talmo Ar. The lace trade is still characterised by ;dullness, nor do we expect any improvement until after Christmas. Some of our manufacturers are taking stock, and this, operating with the usual slack period before Christmas, renders the lace trade exceedingly quiet. In silks there is very little doing, owing principally to the high price of material. Silk is, however, rather easier to purchase. The season of the year also operates against the ho siery trade, which is now inactive, although the amount of business doing is an average. Stock-taking and the Christmas holidays over we may look forward to a better stat e o f t h ings, and our manufacturers are e anti cipating a good spring business. We have had some buyers dow n , but operations have been carried on very cautiously. Stocks on hand are exceedingly light, and our manufacturers are only working to order. 90i 1 123 701 70 11A LO6i 6 4- it -- V' 77 16 - 118 109 [ll 103 105 61 - 63 9i - 104 94 96 87 89 99 101 10 101 16i - 171 10 10 73 75 19i 20 9i 104 141 154 id 37 139 .40 143 16 -- 118 ~N "~~ .57 - 159 - 66 7O 136 131 98 - 100 88 - 10 1 - -104 - 94 d id 108 17i = iii 23 24 101 - 103 10 104 27i 281 2 • 3p 4 : ii MINES. .0s I all 'Anglo Californian 7 'Australian all Baden (Gd.

It is also said that as many as 20 other sailing and steamvessels would shortly leave the latter place for the same destination, and that each would have on board 300 or 400 soldiers. We cannot give a decided opinion as to the truth or falsity of this news. We are completely ignorant whether such a vessel or such vessels have or have not arrived, bat such a circumstance, so contrary to their existing customs, could not fail to exc it e very serious apprehensions. We are convinced that seeing the perfect friendship which unites the two powers, such a state of things could not take place. We presume a;s• that the Ministers of his Majesty the Shah too highly appreciate the ancient friend ship of Persia with England, and the good disposi tions of the British Government to maintain the conventions which are now in force to admit that the latter would be disposed to break, without mo tive, existing treaties with Persia. The Persian government places great confidence in the kind ness, the perspicuity, and the perfect equity of the English Cabinet. If even the vessels were to enter the Persian Gulf, as the rumour states, the cabinet of Teheran would not consider that fact as an act of hostility, but would demand from the British Government an explanation of its intentions, ill order to be assured of the true cause of th e ev e nt. So long as it shall be possible, th e P ers i an Govern ment will not assume the initiative, and will abstain from any attitude contrary to the old and valuable intimacy which formany years has existed between the two powers. We have, however, heard from people of this country, and we are able to infer from the prevailing tone of conversation here that as soon as it should be really proved that Great Britain, at the suggestion of agitators, and incited by the words of her agents here and of malevolent persons, bad disregarded her treaties of friendship with Persia, and had, notwith standing the conduct of the latter power, which has never acted unjustly, committed an act, in despite of the wishes of the cabinet of Teheran contrary to the harmony which has existed for so many years between them, in that case the Persian nation, professing Islamism, and distinguished for its zeal, would be obliged, to its great regret, firmly to oppose the proceedings of the British Govern ment. Putting its confidence in God alone, it would be compelled to protect the dignity of the kingdom, and to defend its honour, its reputation, and its true religion." PREPARATIONS OF .RETSSIA TO SUPPORT _PERSIA AGAINST ENGLAND• The following appears in an Austrian journal, published at Cracow, The Czas, of the 30th ult.:— " While England, with much noi,e and ostenta tion, prepares an expedition against Persia, Russia —in silence and noiselessly—is getting ready to come to the succour of the Shah. The Orembourg corps d'armee has just been considerably rein forced. It is commanded by Aide-de-Camp Gen. Perowski. The outposts of this corps extend to the very extremity of the country of Turan, upon the rivers Oxus and Jaxartes ; and the military flotilla of the Lake of Aral, placed under the orders of the same general, is brought by the above-men- tioned rivers to the frontiers of India. On another side, great activity reigns upon the Caspian Sea, and in the army of the Caucasus. Transport ves sels, having troops and munitions of war onboard, pass incessantly between Astrakhan and the port of Bakou, situated in the province of Schirvan, bordering on the Caspian Sea, belonging to Rus sia, and at the frontier of Persia. The new Lieu tenant-General of the Caucasian provinces, Prince Bariatynski, has received fuller powers than his predecessors. He has lately inspected, on his way to his destination, the flotilla of the Caspian Sea, which has of late been considerably increased, and partly left at his disposal. This flotilla can easily take troops on board either of the corps of Orembourg or the army of the Caucasus, and convey them to the relief of Persia, disembarking either at Astrabad or upon the neighbouring coast of Teheran. The corps which forms part of the army of the Caucasus, cantoned at Schirvan and Erivan, and commanded by General Khruleff, wbo distinguished himself in the Eastern war, can also succour Persia by land as well as by sea. Meanwhile the Russian Government neglects nothing in replacing the war materiel consume d during the late war, and continues to refill the ex hausted magazines." Thus, in addition to the contracts which were before announced to be tendered for, and the ob ject of which was to provide for the transport of munitions of war, and of all sorts of army stores, we have seen published very lately the authorisa tion for the conveyance of different raw materials, to the amount of five million pounds weight, to the military factory at Tula, as well as the putting up at auction of the contract for the transport to Schlossenak of four million pounds weight of gun powder and saltpetre. THE PE, , SIAN GOViehN BNF AND Tag BRITISH EXPEDLIION. THE SIEGE OP HERAT. The fall of Herat was again reported yesterday on the arrival of the Marseilles packet from Con stantinople. The public have had some experience of the value of reports from this quarter, and will probably require some better warrant for the news. Some statements from Teheran, very favourable to the Persian besiegers, were copied by us yes terday from the Presse d'Orient. They are not very consistent with the following, which is taken from the Journal de Constantinople of the 21st. December The latest news which we have received from P e rsia, and which conies to us from a reliable source, contains some facts of the highest import ance. Prince Murad Mirza, the general commander in-chief of the Persian expedition against Herat, had written to Teheran that he finds it utterly impossible to make himself master of the city with 25,000 men. Th© father of the reigning Shah, Mohamed Shah, was not able to succeed in doing so when he attacked Herat with a force of 80,000 be : The Emir r , men. The arrival at Herat of the Emir Serdar, the s on of Dost Mohamed Khan, with a reinforcement o f nu m e rous columns of Atthan troops, belonging to the warlike tribes of the Tadiks, of Kisilbacb, a nd o thers, had resulted in t he re-establi shment at Herat of the lines of communication wi th Aff ghanistan. The Army of the Shah was con centrated towards the north-west, a nd was awai ting succour from te t bSerdar, inhabitants upon his thatarrival hadat H b e e r e a n t , gentan nounced Teheran. hhei s rea fna Dost Mohamed, as a precursor of his formidable army, which was at that time concen trated at Candahar, and ready to march against the Persians. ---- WHAT NEXT ?—Some of the banners sect to the Mis• souri invaders, worked by the ladies and blessed by the priests, bore upon them "For God and Slavery !"
