PROTEST of the POLISH EXILES. TO THE EDITOR OF TIIE SUN. SI fl—We hope that you will kindly insert in your valuable paper the following Protest of,the Pi)] ish F:migrants in London, and as: the protest is in the course of signature we shall have .the pleasure of for warding to you the other names as soon as they will lie complete.—We have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servants, Colonel Louis OBOlt.l, Chairman, S. WORCELL, Member of the Polish Diet, Sec. London, July 2, 1842. Not .long ago a report got abroad that the invete rate foe of, our country, Nicholas, was to proclaim a general amnesty to the Poles, in commemoration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of his wedding. Soine 4.7 the newspapers which reported it seemed to rejoice at that fortheeniing event, Us if the amnesty could re-tore to our country her lost children, recognise her rights, which have been trampled upon, and reinstate the nation in that independence, without which there is no lire, no existence for it, nor any prospect of re mit-it to our native country: for us. Convinced, there tine, that 'some minds entertain a mistaken idea of the Polish cause; we venture to address a feW Words to the public of the civilised world in explanation of the true pesition . 'in' which the Polish emigration stands towards their country and .its oppressor: The-ihole world knows that the Polish Revolu tion 61-18:30 was not- te revolt-against a lawful So vereign, but a spontaneous insurrection of a nation to redress its wrongs, re-conquer its violated rights, re-establish its ancient independence. When the indolence of the chiefs, the mismanagement and ma chinations of the diplomatic party, had frustrated Poland . of all the advantages gained upon the field of battle by the valorous army, the Poles did not give np their arms to ItusSia, but deposited them, in the - neighbouring countries, reserving to themselves the ,right of re-taking them at the first opportunity, and thus si g nifying to Europe that the strife was sus pendeOnly, not finished. The civilised world greeted the entigTation with enthusiasm, not as the fugitives, who tied before the punishment of an offended master, hut as the representatives of a great , and sacred cause; as the defenders of common liberty, because a murder perpetrated upon one nation was a threat to the liberty of all others. " The lapse of eleven years did not bring any change in the cause of Poland. Now, as then, Poland is the -representative of the popular liberty, and of the right of resisting the foreign oppression. It is now, as it was then, her duty to sacrifice all for the defence of her rights. As then she has r:- deemed with her blood the threatened liberty of the \Vest, so she is ready now to shield the civilization against any attempts of the Muscovite hordes. As then, in spite of fifty years oppression and five times repeated partitions, the Polish people believed in the vitality of his- rights to constitute an independent na tion, so he religiously preserves the same faith, and shall never forsake those sacred rights. The genera tion which, in 1830, proclaimed the national indc - penitence is still living, and by the side of it arose a one, christened in the blood of Grochow and `i).;t;to/calto, brought up tanidst. the cries and suffer ings of the tortured nation. It is its de tiny to com plele the work begun by its predecessors, and by a tritunnit to di,..serve' those applauds with which the ~r the West have greeted . our late revolution. .led we who Lave left our country in order to give viileugf: amongst the friendly nations to the rights ;;nd!glievances of Poland, and preferred . the exile to ,• , • he ,disgrace of taking. a sacrilegious oath at fide l ity to the :oily e:or of our country, can we now forsake mission, forswear our duties, and slanderously ; lAemeledge our., country- to have been guilty, by accepting, so many times offered. and as many times' rh . t“e - 1, amnesty ? No! Once more, most sohtinnly, we rtiSOat, To ! We shall not accept the amnesty. The emigration being a protest before the worl,l against the spoliations and injustice perpe tvatyd upon our country, we must see first those redre,se-1. 'laving left Poland as Poles, we shall not-return to it as Muscovites. 'laving left it vi ell hearts proud of having done our duty, we shall not, go back as culprits, and with the same hand, which, in characters of blood, has inscribed upon our native land its rights to independence, liberty, integrity, and progress, we shall not sign a blas pheinonS acknowledgment that our revolution was a rebellion—that independence of Poland is a vision." is already signed by 70 persons, but we sup press the names on account of the space they occupy. 436,002 ; Savings Total invested, _ .

On the 25th Captain Colin Mackenzie, of the Madras army, arrived at Jellalabad, ott parole. from Akbar Khan, with proposals for the surrender of the prisoners, the particulars of which have not yet transpired, nor is it known in what manner they 114ve been entertained. The Delhi Gazette says : " Captain Mackenzie states that Mahomed Akhbar has only nee hundred followers, as, after his defeat by Sale, his soldiers dropped off ette alter another, until reduced to the present scanty numbers. The prisoners, male and female. are confined in two se parate forte within the valley of Teieen ; they are pretty well treated. Four acconchements had taken place. and four more were shortly expected One lady, Mrs. Waller, had to maael, being allowed a litter, the day after her centinement. 1 * Captain C. :Mackenzie brought in the intedigence of the death ot General Elphinstone, who expired on the 23d or 24th of April, and that Alihomed Akhbar had agreed to send his body to Jellalahad, where it was expected to arrive on the night ot the 26th. It is very satisfactory to know that the day pre vious to his death, he signed a document, containing foil and authentic details of all the occurrences, from the' commence mist of the Caubul difficulties to the time of his being taken prisoner, and which, it is said, will, to a great degree, exone rate the General from the charges which have been brought against his personal character. Captain C. Mackenzie had been allowed several days absence by Mahomed Akhbar, but decided on returning forthwith. His testimony regarding the murder of Sir Wm. Macnaghten, by the hand of 1114 homed Akhbar, is most conclusive ; he saw the ruffian perpetrate the Murder,' while ,Shah Soojah is implicated deeply in the rebel lion. General Elphinstone's report was brought in by Captain Mackenzie, and it is currently stated in the camp that, at the council of war held previous to the retreat, Major Pottinger's ajectio - ns to such a step were overruled. Other narratives hare also been prepared'by the prisoners; one. it is said, by Capt. Eyre, of the Artillery, which is repo -ted to be very fad and accurate. _ .

THE PRISONERS.—It will be recollected that on the evacuation of Caubul on the sth of January, 1842, about 300 sick and wounded soldiers were left behind the re- tiring army, the charge of whom was undertaken by the provisional Government ; and that besides these, six officers were detained as hostages for the immediate abandonment of Jellalabad, Ghuznee, and Candahar. These hostages were Captain Drummond, 3d Cavalry ; Lieutenants Airie, 3d Buffs ; Cottony, 20th Native In fantry ; Warburton, Artillery ; Walsh, 52d Madras Native Infantry ; and Webb, 38th Madras Native In fantry ; Doctors Balfour, Berwick, and M'Kinner re maining in charge of the sick and wounded. Of this party little has been heard for five months ; they have written very rarely, and all we know of them is, that they are alive, and said to hare been tolerably well treated. In the course of the retreat which, coramenc ing on the 6th, terminated about-the 13th of January, by the total annihilation of the army, the following fell into the hands of the enemy, and were detained prisoners : Major-General Elphinstone, Commander-in-Chief of the armies ; Brigadier Shelton, her Majesty's 44th Foot; Major Pottinger, Captain Anderson, 50th Native Infan try ; Captain Boyd, 65th Native Infantry ; Captain Johnstone, Captain Lawrence, Captain Troup, 48th Na tive Infantry ; Surgeon M`Grath, Lieutenant Eyre, Ar tillery ; Lieutenant Mackenzie, Madras Army ; Lieute nant Waller, Artillery ; Ensign Mien, her Majesty's lath Regiment ; Captain Bygrave, sth Native Infantry, Paymaster ; Captain Gray, her Majesty's 44th Foot ; Major Griffiths, 37th Native Infantry ; Lieutenant &a ter, her Majesty's 44th Foot. " Much sickness, we regret to say, prevails at Jellalabad, and the death of Cornet A. Fisher, of her Majesty's 3d Dra goons, followed that of 2klajor Anderson on the evening of the 25th of April. " We are glad to slate that one of our correspondents, in allusion to the letter inquiring respecting the existence of Dr. John Forsyth, which appeared in cur columns, says that that officer is alive and well at Jellalabad. _ . " A junction had been effected near the west end of the Khyber between Brigadier Monteath's and Colonel Bolton's brigades: and it was hoped they would be at Jellalabad sooner than we anticipated in our issue of yesterday, as the orders to Brigadier Monteath were to avail himself of the moonlight nights to hasten back. " Provisions are being collected with increased rapidity at • Jellalabid, and everything portended advanced preparations for a forward movement. So far as our information extends, these appear to Nave been withdrawn • from the force, that their lives I might be preserved, when the army was in the act of ' perishing amongst the mountains by cold or the band of the enemy. Tney were taken charge of by Mahomed Shah, a chief of the Lughman country, whose residence was at nu great distance. Amongst these the heroic Lady SA seems to have been the soul of the party ; and it is from fragments of her letters that all our informa tion regarding herself and.eompanions in captivity is de rived. They seem to have..received throughout all the attention and kindness of which their position adMitted amongst the rigours of a Siberian winter, and from a people whose manners are rude and barbarous, and their wants few and simple and easily satisfied. They'were supplied with sheep, and seem to have perrorined the processes of cooking and dissection for themselves. They suffixed much front want of clothing, not a single change having been brought along with them from Caubul. This at length was provided, after weeks of privation from the garrison at Jellalabad, together with some sugar and. tea—sad millet fluities in the Lughman country, though to civilized Europeans almost amongst the necessaries of lift. They had picked up a Bible and Prayer-book on their retreat, and, morning and evening, as they numbered the days of their captivity, the words of comfort and salvation were read to them. Twelve of them were huddl e d t oge th er i n a s in g le apartment. The evenings were spent without light, and seemed very lung and dreary. Mrs. Sturt, daughter of Sir Robert Sale, and widow of the bravest officer who fell amidst all our disasters where so many of the brave had perished, gave birth to a child ; the mother and the babe of sorrow survived and were doing well. On the 7th of April, the glorious victory at Jellalabad was a source of further suffering to the wife and daughter of the eon queror. Mahomed Akhbar Khan, driven from the field, seems to have fled to the mountains ; and determined that the prisoners should be immediately removed, they were mounted on horseback, and hurried away, they feared to Caubul or beyond the Caucasus, and they knew not whither. About April 24, General Llphiu stone died of dysentery. - It seemed that their journey was destined to terminate more speedily than they ap prehended, and that a place of greater security, and, nearer vicinage to Caubul, was sought for the purpose probably of treating for their ransom without apprehen sion of their being snatched from - the hands of the - 1 captor. On the 24th or 25th Captain Mackenzie - was dispatched to Jellalabad on his parole, to intithate that General Elphinstone was dead, and-that his body would be sent with all respect to his friends ; and that Maho med Shah and, Akhbar Khan. were anxious to . treat for the surrender of the captives. Neither the terms pro posed nor the manner in which they were entertained have transpired. Captain Mackenzie having fulfilled his mission on the 26th, returned immediately, in terms of his parole, to the camp of the insurgent chief.—Boni hay Times. A letter has been received from Lady Macnaghten from Buddiabad, dated the 27th ult., in which she says that Akhbar Khan has treated her most kindly, and promises that she and Mrs. Trevor shall be immediately released. The time is approaching when we shall know whether these accounts result from the genuine facts of the case, or from apprehension of compulsion. He might have restored his prisoners long ago had he chosen.— DeMi Gazette. " The officers named in our last as on their way to the pro vinces had reached Peshawur ; they are Major Frazer, Captain Younghushand, Lieutenant Williams, and others. " The Syce, noted as having reached Jellalabad from Ghuz nee, mentions the following as the officers who have es caped :—Colonel Palmer, Captain Alston, Ensign Williams, Lieutenant Barris; a doctor, Lieutenant Barnes, Lieutenant Crawford, of the Bombay establishment, and another. " The prices realized by Major Anderson's property, when sold by auction at. Jellalabad, may he taken as proofs of t h e ecarcity which is prevalent in camp. We select the fol. lowing from a lone hot : " c i - dires letter paper, 25 rupees ! &n old small tea-kettle, 23 tupees ! ! A cup and saucer, 10 rupees !! ! About two seers sugar candy, 55 rupees 1111 Less than two seers tea, 55 rupee‘ !. ! ! ! ! " Captain Mackenzie returned on the 27th to the Affghan camp with the answer to the proposal of which he was the bearer, neither of which have transpired. It is said that an enormous ransom is demanded for the prisoners. Sickness, at our latest dates, had become very prevalent, occasioned by the extreme heat, the thermometer standing at 105 deg. ; but more especially the half and quarter-ration system to which the troops are subjected." The following general order by the Right Hon. the G orernor-General of India will be read, in England, with a thrill of enthusiasm " Head-quarters, Allahabad, April 30, 1842. "'The Governor-General has received a report from Major- General Pollock, C. 8., dated the 16th instant, announcing his arrival at Jellalabad. _ . " The Majer-General has thus carried into effect the orders of the Government in a manner which entitles him to the highest approbation. Receiving the command of the army at Pcshawur under circumstances of peculiar difficulty, he has in the midst of new and unforeseen embarrassments and disappointments, pre served a firm mind, and justly relying upon his own judgment, he has at last, with equal discretion and decision, accomplished the otject he was directed to effect. " The Governor-General requests Major-General Pollock to accept his acknowledgments of the good service be has thus rendered to the Government of India, and begs he will com municate to the Gallant Officers and troops under his com mand, the entire satisfaction with which their conduct has been regarded on this occasion. " The Governor-General has already in communicating the despatch iota Major-General Sir Robert Sale, K.C.8., dated the 7th instant, expressed his high tense of his services of that officer and of the garrison of Jellalabad, terminating on that day by a decisive victory, which would have left nothing to desire had Colonel Dennis survive , to enjoy it. " The garrison of Jellalabad having on that day achieved its safety by its own prowess, and being now re-united to the army by the movements of the force under the command of Major-General Pollock, 8.C., it remains only for the Go vernor-General to testify his opinion of the just claims of that garrison to the gratitude of the Government and of their country. " The Governor-General is pleased to direct that the second company of the 6th battalion of Artillery shall bear upon its appointments, and the sth Regiment of Light Infantry upon its standards and appointments, and the 35th Regiment of Native Infantry upon its colours and appointments, a mural crown, superscribed Jellalabad,' as a memorial of the forti tude, perseverance, and enterprise, evinced by those several corps during the blockade of Jellalabad. " 'l he Governor• General is likewise pleased, in conformity with the reconireendation of his Excellency the Commander in-Chief,t to direct, that ' in order to give additional and last ing honours to the '2sth Native Infantry, whilst it benefits the service generally, that corps shall hereafter be made a light in fantry regiment, the duties of 'which it is already so well ac quainted with, and has performed with so much zeal and spirit.' " The Governor-General is further pleased to direct that a silver medal be made for every officer, nen-commissioned officer, and private, European and native, who belonged to the garrison of Jellalabad, on the 7th of April, 1842, such medals to be all similar, and to bear on one side a mural crown, superscribed ' Jellalabad,' and on the other side the words April 7, 1842.' " The Government of India will present such medal to every officer, non-coinmissioned officer, and private, European and native, belonging to their service, and will request the home authorities to lay before her Majesty their most hum hle prayer that her Majesty will be graciously pleased to per mit the Major-General Commanding, and the officers, non. commissioned officers, and privates in her Majesty's service, who formed p ar t o f t he garrison of Jellalabad, to receive and wear a medal similar to that which will be so presented to their brothers in arms. " The Governor-General, taking into consideration the many great privations to which the troops composing the garrison of Jellalabad were exposed during the blockade of that place, and the noble fortitude with which all such privations were borne, as well es the various losses the troops sustained, is pleased to direct that a donation of six months' batta be made to all the officers, non-commissioned officers, and privates, European and Natives, who composed the garrison of Jellalabad on the 7th of April, 1842. " The Governor-General will request his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief of the Army to give instructions in due time that the several cores composing the garrison of Jellalabad may, on their return to India, be received at all the stations on their route to their cantonments, by all the troops at such stations, in review order with presented arms.

We have been favoured with the following translation of a Persian letter sent from an authentic source, There can be. no doubt now of the murder of the Shah ' • for the circum stantial nature of the conamunicatiOn would of itself establish the fact, were there no other corroborative evidence to rely upon. The letter will, we are sure, be perused with the greatest interest by all classes of readers : " The following news is from Caubul, 17th April. Nawab Zaman Khan, and Jubar Khan (the Dost's brother), Oosman Khan, and Ameen Oella Khan, having agreed on a plan among themselves, went to the King. and having taken the holy word ( the Koran) with them, satisfied the King by the agreement of both word and oath; inasmuch that he consented to go with an army, consisting of a general levy, towards Jel lelahad ; for which end it was settled that the King himself having sent his tents oat of Caubul, and made a march to Sera Sung, should there muster and review his whole army, and then march on to Jellalabad ; but before this happened, the King, in strict and absolute privacy, of his own authority, ap pointed the son of Ameen Oolah Khan commander of his army. The Barukzye Sirdars being much disgusted with the King's thus admitting the son of Ameen Oollah Khan to his confidence., took it much to heart. They then proposed to the King that they should assemble 25,000 soldiers at Caubul, while the King went out to review his army and march on Jellalabad. The King accordingly took forth his tents, and went down to Seea Sung ; and the liaruksye Sirdars and the rest, with their force, also went forth, for the purpose of being present at the muster of the army by the King. as agreed ; so it was that on the first day the King mustered his army at the place aforesaid, and at night returned to the Bala Hissar, leav ing Prince Futteh Jung at Seea Sung ; and the same night the King sent letters for the men of Konibinat about Jellala bad, and to Khyber, and the neighbourhood of Peshawur ad dressed to the Shahzadelis.—N.N.

" Her Britannic Majesty's Plenipotentiary in China has great pleasure in announcing to her Majesty's subjects the complete repulse ot two bodies of Chinese troops, which at tacked the British positions at Ningpo and Chinhae at day light on the morning of the 10th of last month. "During the whole' of February almost daily intelligence reached the head-quarters of her Majesty's forces, showing that the Chinese high authorities eA ntemplated some active operations, but they were from time to time deterred on such frivolous pretences, that it appears their Excellencies the naval and military Commanders-in-Chief have gone over to Chusan to make arrangements at that place preparatory to a forward movement of a portion, at least, of her Majesty's combined forces. "In this state matters remained until the date and hour above mentioned, when a considerable body ef Chinese, es timated at from 10,000 to 12,000 men, advanced upon the south and west gates of Ningpo, got over the walls, and pene trated to the market-place, in the centre of the city, where they were met by our troops and instastly driven back with great loss; in fact, it would seem that the moment the Chi nese troops found themselves so warmly received, their sole object was to get out of the city as fast as possible, and in their retreat to the south gate, the field guns, drawn by ponies, came up and cper.ed on the dense mass with grape and cannister, at a distance of less than 11,0 yards. Above 260 dead bodies were found inside the wails, and when the accounts came away her Majesty's 49th Regiment had nut returned from the pursuit of the discomfited and flying enemy. Whilst these operations were progressing on shore, a number of fire-boats (sampans) lashed together with chains, were floated down the river, and were towed into the mud by the boats of the Sesostris steamer. In the meantime a gun was brought down a lane in the eastern suburb (across the river), and as the inhabitants had been previously warned that any such attempt would bring chastisement upon them, her Majesty's ship Modeste opened her guns, and did great execu tion in that quarter. " The attack on Chinhae was much more feeble. The enemy advanced to the north gate, where they were driven off by the guard, and followed by one company (afterwards reinl'erced by three others) of her Mnjesty's 55th Regi.aent, who killed 30 men and two mandarins in the pursuit. Simultaneously with the attack on the city of Chinhae, fire sampans chained together were set adrift to burn the shipping at the anchorage, but they all went on shore above the ships of war and merchant vessels, and did no sort of harm. " Shortly before these repulses occurred, the Nemesis steamer was sent from Chusan to reconnoitre the island of Tai tam, where it was understood Chinese troops were collecting with the purpose of attacking her Majesty's forces at Tinghae. The steamer sent her boats into a creek, where they were fired cm, and in consequence Cc mmander Collinson arid Lieutenant Hall landed the steam-ship's company, when the Chinese fled with the loss of about 3e killed and a number wounded. The steamer's boats thin set fire to a number of junks which had also fired on her, and returned to Chinhae. " Their Excellencies the naval and military Commandere in-Chief had gone back to Ningpo, and proposed to follow up the repulses the enemy had experienced by active measures. " It, affords her Majesty's Plenipotentiary the highest satis faction to close the circular by stating that, in these attempts of the enemy, her Majesty's combined force had not lost a man. " The latest intelligence from the head-quarters of the Chinese army, south of the Hangehow River, speak of the troops being in almost a state of insubordination, and in want of supplies, &c. " '1 he Emperor had ordered that the provinces whirls are the seat ot the war should bear the expenses of it ; and as the inhabitants seem resolved to make no further sacrifices, there appears every probability of the army dissolving itself, and becoming totally disorganised. " God save the Queen. " HENRY POTTINGER, " Her Majesty's Plenipotentiary." " Dated at Macao, on the lit day of April, 1842." We subjoin another notification by his Excellency, from which it appears that the Chinese will be suffered to use their own discretion in fortifying the banks of the river between Whampott and Canton ; but that if they venture to erect new works below the former place - , hos tilities will be immediately resumed : " Government House, I-Long-Kong, March 22, 1842. " Gentlemen,—You are aware that some of the Hong mer chants lately paid a visit to Macao, and it is probably by this time known to most of yea that the object of that visit was to find out whether the Provincial Government of Canton would be allowed to rebuild the Bogue and ether dismantled forts, or to erect new ones on this side of the Wharnpoa an chorage. " Although I of course declined having any sort of inter course with the Hong merchants, . took advantage of the kindness of a friend to let these individuals know in distinct terms, that orders had been long issued to prevent the repair of the old, or the erection of any new forts lower down than Whampoa, and that the consequence of any attempt of the sort would be the renewal of hostilities in the Canton river, the stoppage of trade, and the consequent distress to the pro vince and city. " I trust this warning will have the desired effect, and that matters will be allowed to go on in their present tranquil course; but I nevertheless think it my duty to acquaint you with what has passed, as well as with my resolution, which has been fully approved and confirmed by the experienced judgment of the senior officer of her Majesty's navy in the Canton River ; and in doing so I would request you in dividually and collectively to give the earliest possible notice of any collecting of material, assemblage of workmen, or other apparently defensive (though in reality offensive) pre parations that yourselves or your agents may perceive on the river below Whampea. It is superfluous for me to observe that the safety of the shipping and their crews at. the anchor age imperatively demand every precaution and vigilance, and I feel assured you will cheerfully aid me in the manner 1 have pointed out. " I sm, gentleman, " Your most obedient and faithful servant, " HENRY POTTINGER, " Her Majesty's Plenipotentiary." " The Mercantile Community of Hong. Keng, Macao, &c." The following meteantile circular contains the latest commercial news. It was wraten on the morning of the Ist of April, at which time the intelligence of the Chinese having been repulsed in their attacks on Ningpo and Chinhae had not transpired. The state of trade at Can ton appears to have improved, many sales having beers effected during the latter part of the month of March. Opium is still sold at very low rates : " Macao, Ist April, 1842. " \%e avail ourselves of the despatch of the Anonyma, for Bombay, and Cowasjee Family, for Calcutta, to continue our general advices from the 3d ultimo. " .Nothing has occurred to disturb the tranquillity which has fur some time past prevailed in this province, and trade goes on as usual. At Canton a considerable business has been done in cotton during the last ten days, sales of Bombay having been effected at 8 to 9 4, and of Bengal at 8 3 to 10. " Cotton manufactures exhibit a tendency to recever from their late extreme depression, but no decided rise in prices has yet taken place. Wool!ens continue without inquiry, and the near approach of the hot season precludes the prospect of an early improve ment. "We have no change to notice as regards tea. The sea son's export from the Ist of November to the present date amounts to 20,218,3101 b. of black, .tnd 3,723,79 M. of green ; total, 23,942,1001 b., and there w shipments in progress. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Bombay Times, May 23.) SHIPPING PROSPECTS. On no former occasion has the harbour of Bombay been so crowded with shipping vs it is at. present. During the brief interval which has elaased since the departure of the last mail, 21 days, no fewer than 43 ships, aggregating about 28a 00 tons, 'have arrived, which, added to those previously here, arid deducting those which have sailed, make the number of mer chant vessels at present in harbour, exclusive of small country craft, to be 90, and their aggregate tonnage about 54,000 tons. The greatest difficulty is consequently experienced in pro curing freights, which will be further aggravated by the near approach of the monsoon, when no further supplies of produce from the coast and interior can be received. The rate of freight to China has fallen to 10 rupees per candy, while to England scarely any can he procured at all ; indeed, the price of cotton on the Bombay Green is at present higher than in the English markets, and would leave a loss even if it could be laid down in Liverpool freight free. Nor do matters appear to he much better at any of the other eastern ports. Prospects for shipping in this country are not, therefore, at present very flat tering; and the shipowners must make up their minds to run their ships at a loss for some time to come. Their case is a very hard one, occurring, too, at a time when, from the reduc tion of the timber duties, the value of chipping property is de preciated by a sum equivalent to about 255. for every load of timber used in the construction : and when there is at this mo ment in the various ports of England an amount of tonnage laid up, almost in a state of confiscation, which has cost the possessors many millions sterling. At home this tonnage incurs comparatively little expense, whereas in this country the ex penditure will be heavy. BOMBAY MARKET. (From the Overland Price Current,liay 23.) OBSERVATIONS. --'t he continued depression of almost every branch of our import trade leaves but little room for remark or speculation. For some descriptions of grey and bleached piece goods, indeed, there has been rather more inquiry than was th case last month ; but prices have not rallied in the slightest degree, and still exhibit a downward tendency. The market for metals has been very dull, and prices are uniformly lower than before. The arrivals of shipping have been unprecedentedly numerous, and cotton, having risen in price, freights both to Great Britain and China, have consi derably declined. Looking at the unfavourable state of com mercial affairs at home, the probability of a protracted struggle in China, and the little likelihood of any speedy re sumption of trade with the countries to the north-west, the prospect which presents itself is anything but cheering. Mrraas.—For no description of metals has there been any better demand than before, and the prices of all have to some extent receded. Some kinds of copper have, it will be per ceived from our quotations, declined from 2 rupees to 3 rupees per cwt. ; lead, b o th pig, and sheet , and spelter , are half a rupee to 1 rupee lower ; quicksilver has fallen 2 rupees per maund ; and tin plates have been sold at half a rupee per box below the rate quoted in our last. The prices of iron re mained, till within the last few days, almost stationary, Swedish bar (selected) being disposes' of at 5l rupees per candy ; British bar at 24i rupees per candy; sheet at 6 rupees per cwt. ; and nail rod (square) at 23 rupees per candy. Swedish bar may now,lowever, be quoted at 43 to 49 rupees; and British bar is offering at 22 tei 23 rupees. 200 tubs of steel have been sold at 10 rupees 10 arms per cwt. CoeTow Matsu ra CTURES.—Gray and bleached jaconots, Madapollams, and long cloths, are the principal goods which have met with a sale since the dep ar t ure o f t h e last steamer, but the prices of these, as well as of other varieties, have continued to decline. Printed a r .d co l oure d fabrics remain, as before, literally unsaleable. Yaitiest—The following are the transactions which have taken place since the date of our last number : Mule Twist. —No. 20, 56 bales, at 5i annas per lb. ; No. 30, I,Blolb. at 7 ; N o . 30, 24 b a l es a t 61 ; N o . 40, 2,70( b. at 71-; . No. 40, 200 bales at 71 ; No. 40, 6 bales at ; No. 30 and 40, 0.,3001b. at 7; and No. 50, 43 bales at 81 to 9 limas per lb. Water Twist.—No. 20, 7,6001 b. at 61 ; No. 30, 10,0001 b. at 8 ; and No. 40, 14,8001 b. at 91 annas. The foregoing sales of mule twist cannot, however, be now obtained, though the dealers seem disposed to buy to a moderate extent at a reduction of about a anna per lb. For numbers above 50 the prices are quite nominal, there being no inquiry whatever for them. Woora.ElaS,—Wre have heard of sales of 40 pieces of English flannel (40 yards by 31 inches.) at 14 annas per yard, and 50 pieces of woollen trousers stuff at 13 dimes. Printed German : flannel has been sold at 1 rupee per yard, and drab cloth for carriage lining at 4i rupees. • Bzirs.—Prices have declined on the arrival of fruit importa- AFTGIIANISTAN. General Pollock arrived at Jellalabad, and effected a junction with the troops composing the garrison of that fortress, •°a the 16th of April. The British force met 'With no opposition or annoyance after passing Ali Musjid, except that arising from the attempts of a few maurauding bands of Kbyberrias to plunder and carry off the baggage. With the exception, however, of a few camels, everything belonging to the troops was brought in safety to Jellalabad. General Pollock would have ar rived there two or three days sooner, but as the defeat of Akhbar Khan on the. 7th of April had secured the safety of Jellalabad, and rendered rapid movements on the part of the advancing force unnecessary, the General halted on the bank of the Caubul river, and seat strong detachments of cavalry and infantry to Lallpoora on the opposite side, for the purpose of restoring Torabaz Khan in his rights over. that place. This chief has in variably been friendly to the British. He supplied Gen. Sale's force with provisions for a considerable time. By this means he drew on himself the enmity of Akhbar Khan, and was compelled to fly to Peshawur. The worth:) , chief was reinstated in his possessions without difficulty, but we regret to say that .three men belonging to her Majesty's 3d Dragoons were swept away by the current and drowned in attempting to cross the river. On the 26th of April, Captain Colin Mackenzie, of the Madras army, arrived at Jellalabad. This officer had been released on 'his parole by Akhbar Khan, and was , the bearer of proposals from that chief and Ma homed Schell Khan, the Ghilzie, to General Pollock, for the release of the ladies and other persons taken in the disastrous retreat from Caubul. How far the negotiation has progressed, or what may have been the tenure of Gen. l'ollock's reply, has not yet transpired. The whole of the prisoners were confined in two small forts in the Tezeen valley, and were tolerably well treated hr their captors. Capt. Mackenzie brought intelligence of General Elphinstone's death, which took place either on the 23d or 24th of- April. The General's remains were to be brought to the British camp for interment, Akhbar Khan having offered to forward the body to Jellalabad; which place it was expected to reach on the night following Captain Mackenaie's arrival. The day previouS . to his death the unfortunate General signed a demi - tient containing a detailed account of the proceed ings connected with the Caubul insurrection. This narrative cannot but prove highly interesting, and as Lord Ellenborough seems laudably desirous of giving publicity to everything connected with the recent trans actions beyond the Indus, we trust ere long to be able to lay the deceased General's account before our readers. All doubt as to who took the most active part in the assassination of Sir W. Macnaghten is now at an end; Captain Mackenzie having asserted that he saw Akhbar Khan perpetrate the murder. The brigade under Colonel Bolton, consisting of her Majesty's 31st not, one trJep of Horse, and a half bat tery of Foot Artillery, the Gth Bengal Native Infantry, end the 3d Irregular Cavalry, having under their charge a large quantity of treasure, together with the whole of the ordnance and commissariat stores, as also the greater part of the private baggage of Gentral Pollock's army, reached Ali Musjid on the 20th of April, without having experienced the slightest -molestation from the Khy berries. On the following day Colonel Bolton effected, a junction with Colonel Monteath, the latter officer.having been detached by General Pollock with the 33d and 35th Regiments Native Infantry for the purpose of assisting in guarding the passage of the stores and treasure through. the defiles. It was generally understood at Jellalabad, that immediately the convoy arrived, pre parations would be made 'for the advance of the army towards Caubul. There is no doubt -of Shah Soojah having_ been murdered. The city and adjacent country is in a state of anarchy consequent on the dissensions between the rebels and the partisans of the late King. It is not probable, therefore, that the British will meet pith any serious opposition in their pragress to the :Afghan capital. The numerous followers who formerly adhered to the standard of Akhbar Khan have dwindled down to a small party of about 100 horsemen. GIIVZNEE.—The following officers who were quar tered in Ghuznee at the time of its capitulation are said, on the authority of a native horsekeeper, to have es caped with their lives, and to be now in the hands of some of the insurgent chiefs:—Colonel Fulmer, Captain Alston, Ensign Williams, Lieutenant Bemis, Lieutenant Barnes, Lieutenant Crawford, of the Bombay establish ment ; a Doctor, and another officer whose names were not knoWn. .Lieutenant Lumsden and his wife were killed. :The greater portion of the sepoys, after having been plundered and otherwise maltreated by the Ghilzies, were permitted to take shelter in the adjoining villages. • le;cmoit. - --From &hide our latest intelligence is also 'Of a favourable nature.

No time Was lost in attacking the enemy's position, and we are happy to say the attempt was successful. A well-directed lire from the artillery compelled the insurgents to evacuate their outposts whilst the British iutantry were ascending the hill.

A most melancholy occurrence took place on the night Of the 1 &th of February. The launch of the Ernaad transport was on shore at a small creek close above Chinhae, filling water casks. Towards evening the boat grounded and could • ' not be got off owing to the fall of the tide. The consequence was, that Mr. W—, the officer in charge, and eleven Lascars, forming the crew, had to remain with her during the! firs: watch. Ni hen dads, two Chinamen and a boy came down to the beat, and by signs, intimated' that they could procure some " !emale society " for those who wisl.ed for it. Most unfortunately, Mr. W— was tempted to accompany these, and took with him two Lascars. As has come out in evi - dence, the Chinese arranged their plans admirably. W-- went first, followed by a Chinaman carrying a lantern. then a Lascar followed by the other Chinaman, then the other Lascar, and the boy bringing up the rear. When they had gone a little way, the Loy disappeared and his place was ter plied by a Chinaman, who made his appearance from ocene of the houses they had to pass. they all walked on for some distance, until they were beyond the village, whirls is olose to the watering place; the first Chinaman then handed his lantern to Mr. W—, as if to enable him to see the path more distinctly, and thus leaving his own hands free; and in answer to an exclamation of poor W—'s, pointed to a house surrounded by trees as the place they were going, ter soon after i ; I some signal was given, and about forty or fifty Chinamen rushed !I , from all sides on their victims. The Lascar who made bis cape saw 111 r. W. holding out his pistol, when he was hirnseil -, • knocked down; he rose again, and in some way or other, he does not know how, made his escape to the boat. As soon as it' was light, a party was sent ashore from the Blonde, to the place where the attack had taken place., Poor W—'s body was found in a small lake, without the head, and above thus, wounds on his body. He seems to have fought to the last ra-- the , than be taken :live. However, some of the wounds seem to have been inflicted for the purpose of torture, the wrists and knee-joints being cut into, and cuts being made between each n ,,eer up to the wrist. The other Lascar seems also to h ave been we`inded, but from the traces for some distance, he h a, : • been carrier. If alive.
