This extensive and highly mineralised sett embraces upwards of 500 acres of land, in the parish of Tolland, Cornwall, about one mile from the seaport of Polperro, where materials can be landed and ores shipped at a very small cost. Fer many years this sett was held by wo rking miners, who, con fident of success, drove an edit about 40 fathom• into the hf 1, on the eastern part of the sett ; and commenced sinking a shaft near the Great Cross Course, with a view of communicating and intersecting the lodes mentioned in the various reports. They also commenced working on the course of the lode, breaking quantities of copper ores, but, tor want of "means to proci.re t•e necessary machinery, allowed the ores to be scattered ; a potion of which can be seen at the office of the present Company," who have purchased a lease for 21 years (renewable), at one-sixteenth dues. The trial of gossan, of which there are large quantities, yielded nearly one ounce of fine gold per ton. The mine hag been in full operation now for three months ; and persons desirous of investing are referred to the Captain's weekly reports in the " Mining Journal," all of xhich may be seen at the offices of the Company. The former holders have consented to take paid up shares of the company, as compensation for their outlay and labour. The remaining shares are offered to the public as a lucrative in vestment. The Managing Committee deem it needless to give a lengthened Prospectus—it being a well known fact that this sett embraces many peculiar advantages for developing its mitteral resources ;a nd nd having employed mining engineers of known respectability, is who report favourable on the prospects of the undertaking, which Scented with spirit and economy. Samples of ores and reports of practical mining agents, may be teen, and every information obtained of the Secretary, at the office of the Company, 19, Bucklersbury. A considervile number of shares have been subscribed for in the immediate vicinity of the mine.

ENDLESS embassies and fruitles s ne g otiations have occupied the Courts of Europe for some time. Whether th, c.'nstellation of the " Great Bear" is an unlucky one, we must leave for the consideration of all ohservers ; but the soundest policy has been pursued by the patrons of the establishments of E. MOSES and SON, who have negotiated affairs of dress on a scale of unpre cedented magnificence and economy. The war of elements is totally subdued by the attire manufactured by E. MOSES and Son, and all the advantages of a complete victor y are secured by an artistic fit which combines fashion and comfort. As ambassadors to the Court of Fashion, E. MOSES and SON are the most successful negotiators which the commercial world has ever ac knowledged—they have prod uced st y les of dress which have gained them universal reputation. Their present facilities for exe cuting the commands of noblemen, merchants, men of business, labourers, and all other sections of society, possess an indescribable ampletude, associated with superior quality, infinite variety, and the most economical charges. Liveries, sporting dress, military and naval costumes, are made by E. Mosss and Son with the greatest uniformity and precision. 1 Hats, caps, boots and sho es, hosiery, shirts, ladies' a nd children's clothing of the most elegant and serviceable kind, is furnished by E. MOSES and Son at considerably lower prices than are customarily . .. ..__ charged. The wholesale department of E. MOSES and W.ON'S business is highly advantageous to merchants, captains, and emigrants. Their cloth ing, boots and shoe., outfits, &c. Ire., are the best shipments which can be made to Australia or any part of the world. Full lists of outfits for ladies and gentlemen, and ship-sailing in formation, may be had on appliacation, or post free. CAUTION. —E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against imposition, having learned that the untradesman - like 'alsehood of "Being connected with their Establishment,"es or " It's the same concern," has been resorted t o in many instanc, and i s obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have No CONNEXION WITH ANT OTHER HOUSE IN OR OUT OF LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows : London Citblishment, 154, 155. 156, and 157, Minories, 44,85, and 86, AlAldgate, opposite the Church, all communicating. 83, London West-end Branch, 506, 507, 508, New Oxford-street, 1, 2 and 3, Hart-street, all communicating.

" They are valuable as a complete exposition of his views of Chris tianity—the views of a man who is powerfully influencing his gene ration, and who profoundly believes in revealed religion as a series of facts disclosing God's plan for educating and restoring the human race."—Spectator, August 6, 1853. „ 'Sr. Maurice is aiming at a high object. He would reconcile the old and the new. He would disencumber what is popular of what is vulgar, confused. sectarian, and preserve and illustrate it by disen cumbering it. He calls on us not to be afraid of the d epths and heights, the freedom and largeness, the spirit and the truth' of our own theology. It is a warning and a call which every age wants. We sympathise with his aim, with much of his positive teaching, with some of his aversions and some of his fears. We do not respect Lim the less for not being afraid of bging called b and names. But certainly such a writer has need, in no dommon degree, of con forming himself to that wise maxim which holds in witting as well as in art, Know what you want to do, then do it.' "—Guardian. " Throughout these Essays runs a large-hearted, truthful, and ear nest spirit, which provokes a similar warmth of feeling ill the reader. Their candour and straightforwardness, the anxiety evinced to put the best construction upon dissentients and not to escape from any just charge against ourselves, are as rare in Christian and Church Advocans as they are valuable in their cause. Even those who ay nt be able to arree with Mr. Maurice throughout, will cer taminlyo admire the charity end forbearance he disphtys in dealing with difficult and delicate subjects : none can well be other than valuers by witnessing a treatment of them so remarkable in respect both of t mper and ability."—Clerical Journal. " Every author of real mark has a purpose in writing a book , with out a knowledge of which it cannot be fairly appreciated, and by it should be estimated the method of his reasonings, illutstrations, and p h raseo logy.

Macmillan and Co., Cambridge. THE OVERLAND MAIL INDIA. Despatches received by the Overland Mail are of the following dates :—Calcutta, Jan. 4 ; Ma dras, Jan. 11 ; Shanghai, Dec. 17 ; Bombay, Jan. 14 ; and Adelaide, Dec. 3. The following is the summary of the Bombay Times : During the past fortnight the intelligence re ceived from all parts of India is both meagre and scanty, and consequently we have but little in the shape of news to communicate to our readers. We are much concerned to announce the assassination of Captain Latter, the deputy commissioner at Prome, which outrage was perpetrated during the the night of the Bth ult. by some Burmese who entered Captain Latter's quarters disguised as females, and who were allowed to enter by the sentry on duty in consequence of his having re ceived orders to . permit such parties (spies) to pass unquestioned. Captain Latter was murdered When asleep, and. so quietly did the assassins effect their object, that it was not until the next morning that his dead body was found in his bed, pierced with three dagger wounds, one in the neck, one in the right side, and one in the heart. His death must have been instantaneous. A female's scarf was thrown over his corpse (an indignity, according to Burman estimation) and the murderers effected their escape so noiselessly that the precise time they left Captain Latter's quarters is unknown. It is said that the Ava Government has instigated the perpetration of this tragedy, but nothing defi nite on the point has yet come to light. A man has, however, been arrested on suspicion, upon whose clothes staines of blood were apparent and in whose possession a sum of money has been found, greater than men in his position of life generally possess. The H.C. small steamer Medusa has been totally lost in the Irrawaddy. She left Prome to resume her station on the river frontier on the 9th ult., and had proceeded but ten miles when at about 2 o'clock p.m., she struck on a sunken rock and stove in her bottom close to the second water-tight com partment, which instantly filled, and, owing to the age of the vessel, and her weak state consequent thereon, the rush of water destroyed her, compart ment after compartment, and she finally sunk, going down so rapidly that the crew had barely time to save themselves by swimming, and she is now 22 feet under water. No casualty of any kind occurred with the exception of the drowning of the captain's cook, who failed in his endeavour to reach the shore. The steamer Medusa had done her work—she was old and rotten ? and the greatest loss the company will sustain arises from the incon venience the State will be put to on account of her destruction. Nga Pyoo, who is implicated in the late conspiracy at Rangoon, has absconded, but parties from Shwygeen and Pegu are still after him. A threatening letter addressed to the British authorities has been picked up in Rangoon, telling them to beware of the course of government they are pursuing. The Burmese are said to be in great force near Sittang, and that there is strong reason to expect a rise of the people of the Martaban province so soon as the paddy crop is gathered in. A convict outbreak is reported to have occurred at Mop on the 30th. ultimo, the . Sheik prisoners being the ring leaders ; one was shot dead, another dangerously wounded in the head, and nine effected their escape, but were subsequently captured. From Affghanis tan and the north-west we have no news. The Afreedies seem completely subdued, and Lieutenant Elphinstone, the deputy commissioner on the fron tier was invited to Akhora, in the Kohaf Pass, and assisted his hosts , the Dialks of the place, in making the most of a fat sheep they slaughtered for the occasion. The new church at Umritsur- was opened fot divine service on Christmas day. It is the second church in the Punjaub--the other being at the Seealkote. It affords us the pleasure to state that Lieutenant Godby, of the guide corps, who had been stabbed by an assassin, is almost re covered ; his would-be assassin did not belong to the guide corps, but was a notorious assassin named Jelalah, in the service of Kadir Khan of Tooroo. As far as the dissipations of the monarch are con cerned, affairs in Lucknow are precisely in the same state as when we last wrote ; the King, after the recent attempt made upon the life of Colon el Sleeman, during the fast of the late Mohorum, caused an investigation to be made, and the result, as far as has/et transpired, has been the implica tion of one Wuzzy Ali Khan, a notoriously un scrupulous intriguer of his Highness's court. Another person named Dhean-oo Dawlah is also suspected, but it is doubtful if there be evidence enough to convict him. Captain P. Orr has been ordered, together with his newly-raised regi partment, into the Oude districts, some influential chuckledars having applied for its services. AC counts from Madras represent the augmenting dis tress of the ryots in the northern districts of that presidency. The famine which prevails owing to the want of rain is daily assuming a more alarm ing aspect, and in some of the districts disturb ances have taken. place and the grain sellers plun dered. Government, it is said, have ordered that the inhabitants shall be employed as largely as possible in the repairing of roads and tanks, and have also repealed the import duty on rice. In south Arcot where ,the dry leaf indigo is manufac tured, there will scarcely be any portion of the ordinary first crop rai , ed, and the estimates of the out turn of thelrice crop vary from one-fourth to one tenth of the ordinary supply. The Bank of Madras has declared a dividend at the rate of four and a half per cent. per annum. His Excellency Lieu tenant-General Sir Richard Armstrong, late Com mander-in -Chief of the Madras Presidency, em barked for England on the ship Barham on the 29th ult. The Barham arrived in the Madras roads the previous day, and had on board the first detachment of H.M. 18th Royal Irish Regiment. From the Nizam's country we learn that there had been an engagement in the district of Ulghole, in which 350 Rohillas attacked 75 Arabs, the aggre gate c asualties on both sides amounting to 25 killed and 20 wounded ; but this is only one of many rencontres which have recently taken place, and by the latest intelligence received, the Nizam had despatched a force of infantry, cavalry, and guns, against some of the Rohilla robbers who in fest his dominions. These Rohilla robbers are most atrocious scoundrels, mid we have just heard of the perpetration in the Nizam's country of an act of daring violence and outrage, unparalleled hitherto in the annals even of that lawless country. Lieut.-Colonel Bremner, of the 15th Regiment M.N.1., at Secunderabad, hating been removed to the command of the 41st Regiment at Kamptee, left the former station with his wife and grown up daughter by Palkee Dawk on the 20th ult. for Nagpore. They proceeded with safety as far as Neermul, when they entered the hilly and jungle country, but just before reaching the fortress of yedlabad, about fifty miles beyond Neermul, they were attacked by a large body of Rohillas, at sight of whom the Hammalls, as is their wont, disap peared. The colonel, was severely beaten and plundered of all his property, even to the bedding of the palankeen, every particle of clothing on the persons of the travellers was taken away, and they were indebted afterwards to the good nature and sympathy of the Dawk runners at the nearest stage, for some simple native clothing, with which they were obliged to be content until relief was sent to them from K a mptee and Secunderabad. Cavalry de tachments from Hyderabad, Hingolie, and Nagpore have been sent in search of the robbers, and we have no doubt that if success crown their endeavours, the ru ffians will mee t their deserts. The local officers of the Nizam's contingent have all been pensioned, Lord Dalhousie providing for them most liberally, and in addition to their pensions giving them a bonus equivalent to six months pay and allowances. Major Ramsay has been appoined to the charge of the residency of Nagpore during the absence on sick leave of Mr. Mansell. The late Rajah of Nagpore died childless, and our Government having all along refused to allow him to adopt an heir, the valley of Berar reverts to the Honourable Com pany. The territory thus acquired is about the size of the Punjaub, and its revenue about fifty lacs of rupees annually, while its population ex ceeds four and a half millions ; to what presidency it will be attached is uncertain—and some even go so far as to say it will become a non-regulation province—but we opine that it will shortly be under the Madras government. The ship Alfred, which, as we announced in our last summary, bad struck on a reef near Bimlipatam, is now in the Union Dock, Calcutta. The Governor-General is in Burmah, and his Excellency the Commander in-Chief in India at Gwalior. The Maharajah of Indore had a son on the 28th ult., upon which oc casion great were the rejoicings, as it secures the throne to the Rajah's successors, adoption having been prohibited. The political duties of Scindial's dominions, Bundelkund and Rewa, will, it az is s aid, shortly be altered. Si r R.

SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Meicine, and Matriculateember ot the University of Edinburgh,d H onorar y Member of d the London Hospital Medical society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. MAY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from juvenile irregularities and excesses, which have pro !need more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class ofdis aces known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist ence secret causes of self -acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Ma Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruittid age 3, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its con3equenc es maybe avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derang ement to which the time l y aid of science cannot apply a cure. DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, and is the only legally qualifitied l and Physician who, regardless has had of the taunts and e nv y of the hypocrica mock-modest, the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is free. In selecting thi. department of practice, he has been amply rewarded by the great success that hoz attended his efforts t w o the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the care of unqualified and ignorant empiric!, who, with their pirated publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions. At home for consultation daily from Eleven till Two, and from rSix till Eight. All letters must contain the fee of It., and advice and medicines can he forwarded to any initials or address.

REDFO4II-SOUARE LONDO THE FATAL FIRE IN Solo.---The ninth victim to this terrible catastrophe expired in Charing-cross HosPital on Friday night. The death of this poor m an completes the unprecedented number of six persons of one family burnt in a fire which might have been extinguished with a few buckets of water had proper precautions been ob served b those who first left the premises after the dis oeveri of the outbreak. BURMAH. RANGOON, Nov. 27, 1853. Well, we have had something dreadful here , What shall I call it ? a revolution ? a conspiracy ' Any one of this will do, or all three if you like The case is this. One Shwai-Goung, formerly era ployed in Capt. Sparks' office, brought information to our authorities here that a plot was hatching to take Rangoon from the English. The manner of recapture was to be, that on a certain day, at six in the morning, when crowds flock to worship at the pagoda, a number of armed men were to mingle with the worshippers, and on gaining the upper terrace of the pagoda, to destroy the troops there, and then to fire a gun, which would be the signal for the other armed bands in the town to put an end to the merchants. All this was to be done by a man of authority from the Court of Ava, who came through our territory, unperceived, with a large body of men. Here was treasonable work. The troops were all in readiness the night before the attack ; some at the wharf, guarding the com missariat ; others on board the Nemesis, pretend ing to go away, in order to deceive the Burmese ; others guarding the road leading to the stockadet and terror, consternation, and preparation every where. The morning came, the troops w ere in readiness to shoot every Burman leaving the stock ade with arms in hand, but not to molest those go ing in. A party of Europeans were sent down to Kimmendine, and there they pounced upon a man of rank and his son, made prisoners of him, his son, and a dress of honour, and marched them off trium phantly. Some muskets were seized somewhere else; and thus the conspiracy appeared to have been choked off, as nothing ever happened. The autho rities prided themselves on what they had done ; and people blessed their stars that they had escaped from such danger. Now, all this sounds very fine ; but it is little more than downright nonsense. Imagine the Bur mese attempting to take the place with no weapons but dut dahs (as they intended to do) and of all places to attack the stockade. A marvellous tale indeed. One could imagine them setting fire to the town, and then killing the inhabitants; or perhaps committing dacoities. But a regular, well planned and determined attack—the thing is absurd. Let us look at the person giving the information. One Shwai-Goung, an interpreter, who was turned out of the Moulmain courts by Mr. Colvin, and was employed both in Arracan and here by Captain Sparks, until lately turned out for misconduct. It is shrewedly suspected that this man fabricated the plot, in order to be reinstated in office ; in fact, " made the giants" first, and then asked the autho rities to kill. The person taken up was formerly a Yai goon, and, as far as I can learn, went up to Ameerapoora not long ago to bring down his wife who was and is still there. He went up quietly through the districts that his mission might not be known, and, failing in his object, he turned as quietly as he came. What subject better fitted to ponce upon than this, more especially as b:is trip was a mysterious one, and he had a dress of honour • with him. And yet this mare's nest which the au ' thorities have found may yet be the means of losing the King of Ava the rest of his empire. More in my next.—Rangoon , Chronicle, Dec. 7. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. The money market has remained quiet during the last fortnight. There are symptoms in some quarters of an increasing demand for money, but rates of discount re main unaltered, and money is easily procurable for com mercial purposes. Since the despatch of our last report, business has been done only to a small extent, and the market gene rally has been very dull. Grey Shirtings, 40 in., of the lighter descriptions, re main nearly the same in value and demand as we re ported by last mail. A slight improvement has taken place in 6 and 7 lbs., which will probably continue to the end of the season, 8 lbs. and upwards is without change and without demand. Sales can only be made to a very small extent. The stock on hand seems heavy. The market for 45 in. continues inactive, the lower descrip tions only being saleable to a small extent. Grey Long Cloth is still very dull, bet little demand exists. Grey T. Cloth—There is but little doing as yet, but signs of movement in the bazaar give promise for an in creased demand at an early date. The stock on hand is heavier than at this time last year. Grey Domestics of the common description are almost without inquiry, no sales have been reported. Short widths are in request, however, and bring nearly full value. Grey Twills are still neglected, and there is but little prospect of improvement for a long time to come. Grey Cambrics are saleable as before. Grey Printer 30 yards and 26 in. is saleable and wanted for immediate delivery. Grey Madapollams continue in good request, and are saleable at former rates, which will probably be main tained until some heavy arrival takes place. Grey Jacconets are likewise in good request. Grey Mulls are saleable at our quotation, no change has taken place. Bleached Shirtings and Madapollams are heavy in stock, and there is little doing except in the lower makes. A few trifling sales have indeed been effected, but at reduced prices. Bleached Jacconets continue in fair request, and sales to a fair extent are being effected. Bleached Dimity continues as before, and saleable, Lappets and Lappet Scarfs, of the finer descriptions, are in request, other descriptions are somewhat dull. Turkey red cambrics and twills are without change for the better, and remain nearly as quoted in our last report. Turkey red mulls are saleable at Rs. 51 to Rs. 54.

Though it is late in the cold season for his tour towards Gwalior, we are in formed that he will reach Scindiah's capital in February, and join the Maharajah in the celebra tion of the Maharatta festival, " Holee." The Superintendent of Electric Telegraphs has left Cal cutta en route to the Upper Provinces, to inspect the construction of the different telegraphic lines ; and it is expected that by this time next year the line between Calcutta and Bomb a y , via A g ra, will be complete for the transmission of messages. From Scinde, the only items of intelligence are the deaths of the Collector of Customs, Mr. John Macleod, who died after two days' illness, and of Lieutenant Chapman, of the engineers, who was drowned in the Indus while proceeding down the stream to spend Christmas with his family. The boat in which the unfortunate officer was embarked struck against a tree which the annual subsidence of the water had left imbedded in the river, and sunk. Twelve natives and one European sergeant of the engineers were drowned also. Lord Elphinstone held his first levee on the 2d inst., which of course was numerously attended. His lordship also, the same day, held a durbar, at which all the principal members of the native community were present except our worthy Parsee Knight, whose increasing age and infirmities prevented his attendance, but his lordship has since visited him. Government have ordered the steamer Ajdaha, which was con demned some months ago, to be patched up, and as only five weeks have been allowed to put her in sea-worthy order, it is probable that Govern ment anticipate requiring her to convey troops or stores, perhaps to the Persian Gulf. The New Mercantile Bank of India, London, and China opened for the transaction of business on the 3d current, and accounts were opened to the ex tent of five lacs of rupees. The gentlemen who are surveying the line for the Bombay, Baroda and Central India Railway Company are rapidly com pleting their work, and it is said that the result is much more favourable than was anticipated, and that it will not be very difficult to unite Bombay and Surat. A meeting was held in the Town-hall on on the 12th instant to take measures to do honour to the memory of the late Lieutenant Bellot, of the French Navy. It was numerously attended both by natives and Europeans. Lord Elphinstone presided. The money market is quiet, rates of discount remain unaltered, and money easily pro curable for commercial purposes. The state of the market otherwise generally has been very dull. in price there, this staple has become dull of sale, and little has been doing lately besides a few shipments to China on native account, the late accounts from that country having been rather encouraging. The follow ing are the nominal quotations :—Surat, Broach, and Dhollerah, Rs. 84 to Rs. 85 per candy. Oomrawuttee and Mangalore, Rg. 78 to 80, and Compta Rs. 76 to Rs. 78 per candy of 7841b5. Linseed is worth Rs. 3-13, but transactions at this rate have not been reported. Exchange.—ln consequence of the small quantity of China credits offering the rate of exchange on England has receded to 2s. Oid., but previous to this decline transactions to a considerable extent were done at 2s. _ _ id. to 2s. 1 1-16 d. For this mail bills with documents attached and local bills sell at 2s. lid. Oa Calcutta the rate is 99 2-16 the for 60 days' sight bills, and on China Rs. 232 to 234 per hundred dollars. Freight to England remains without change, at 3/. to Liverpool, and 3/. 2s. 6d. to 3/. ss. to London, while to China it has advanced Rs. 20 to Rs. 21 per candy. CALCUTTA MARKET, JAN. 4. At going to press the London mails of 24th November had not arrived. Indigo has been selling freely at full ast year's prices by private contract. The first public sale of the season was held yesterday. The demand for sugar has been very limited, and dealers have submitted to a further decline of two to three annas per md. Saltpetre has been dull, and the moderate business transacted has ruled generally at a decline of two annas per md. Lac dye has been ne glected. The quotation for D. T. is at 70 0 0. The demand for shell lao has also abated, but owing limited supplies prices are maint ained ; D. C. is quotetd at 13 00. Hides have continued in active demand for Great Britain and America at former price:. Linseed has also been freely shipped to the same quarters, but rape seed has been less inquired for. Raw silk continues dull, and although holders are willing to accept lower terms, shippers are not disposed to operate. A fair amount of shipments of rice is in progress to Great Britain. In our import market a partial improvement in the demand for some fabrics has been perceptible. This has arisen, however, from a local inquiry. The up-country people remain quiet. The market for mule twist con tinues active and several counts have improved in value. Coloured yarns are very quiet. The stocks of metals have been reduced, and holders are, consequently, firm for better rates ; the inquiry is good, but transactions have been limited ; tile copper is quoted at 140-21, and sheathing at 43-1 to 43-8 ; no sales of iron are reported ; spelter has been sold at 10-8 to 11-4-61, and lead at 7-13 per md. Full employment can be found for capital. Tightness continues in the bazaar, and discounts there range from 7 to 9 per cent. Government Securities are looking down. We quote transfer fives at 160-0 to 106-8 ; New fives under No. 19,000 at 101-8 ; Sicca fours at 99-0 to 99-4 ; Company's rupees fours at 100-8 to 100-12. Bank of Bengal Shares 6,500.

Bank of England post bills are quoted at is Hid to is 17/d. Bills on China with opium documents at 230 Rs per $lOO. The rates of freight remain unaltered as regards sugar and saltpetre, but rice and oil seeds are 5s lower. We quote 4/. 5s saltpetre ; 10/. sugar ; 4/. 158 rice ; Si. 5s seeds to London. CHINA. Intelligence from Pekin is brought down to the 17th ult. At that date the Patriots had secured Teentsin, the large maritime town situated at the junction of the Grand Canal with the river Peiho, and about 80 miles from the capital. Unless the Patriots have resolved to let the winter pass over before striking the final blow, a decisive battle must ere this have been fought. Anticipating the result, and resolved to protract the struggle to the last, Hienfung has directed the governors of the various provinces to send the Imperial revenue to the old family seat in Manchuria. That such order has been issued is not generally known ; but there is little reason to doubt the truth of the report. The Imperialist leaders at Shanghai were want ing the pecuniary means to induce the fleet of buc caneers under their flag to attack the city we mentioned in our last report ; and it was supposed that that fleet would soon disperse. Aid, however, appears to have been rendered by parties in Hong Kong ; large remittances of bullion, the North China Herald tells us, having been made by the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Com pany's steam-ship Lady Mary Wood, on her last upward trip. So assisted, the piratical squadron went to work ; but two of the junks having got under one of the batteries were blown up with all hands. The crews of the rest made better use of their opportunities ; they landed, set fire to the suburbs, and then, during the panic, plundered right and left—so amassing an enormous booty. The Imperialists, having effected all the mischief they could, retired. ' At NW! .. there has been an attempt at rising, but it fail , .. At Ainoy all was quiet on the 22d inst. There is no present hope, however, of an early resump tion of business ; the people, now that the Impe rialist's piratical squadron have left, again dreading the expulsion of the Mandarins. The rebels have given out their intention of attemptin g to retake Amoy about the 28th proximo Chinese New Year. About Canton, judging from the quantity of powder expended, the Mandarins are attempting to frighten away evil spirits in their neighbourhood in the same way that the superstitious population abjure evil ones when supposed to be near a sick house —by making noises. Upwards of 13,000 men, under the Kwang-chow-foo, are still engaged in the disturbed districts around the Bogue, and , have met with some successes lately we learn. HONG-KONG.—Since the departure of the last mail there has been a decrease in the number of sick in hospital, but there have been three deaths, all in the 59th Regiment, from chronic dysentery and chest affections. In the several hospitals yesterday the numbers under treatment were 86. CHINA MARKETS. IMPORTS. , — 2.

The African M a il C om p an y's screw steam-ship Hope, Captain Bowen, arrived here at half-past 7 this morning with the usual mails from the west coast of Africa. She left Fernando Po Jan. 5 : Cameroons, Jan. 6 ; Lagos , San. 11 ; Accra, Jan. 13 ; Cape Coast Castle, Jan. 15 • Monrovia, Jan. 18 ; Sierra Leone, Jan. 22 ; B athurst, Jan. 26 ; Goree, Jan. 27 ; Teneriffe, Feb. 1; and Madeira, Feb. 3. Her cargo consists of palm oil, above 2,000 ounces of gold dust, cochineal, cam wood, Sze. The mails were brought home in charge of Lieutenant Larde, R.N. The Hope brings home about sixteen. - passengers, among whom are Captain Brazaron, 2d West India Regiment ; Lieutenants Palmer and Taylor, ditto ; Ensign Goodman, Ist West India Regiment ; Lieu tenants Beeche, Cave, and Macaulay, ditto ; Dr. Aitkin, and 3 masters of merchants ships, Thomp son, Witt, and Crew. At Lagos were her Majesty's ships Penelope, flag-ship of Rear-Admiral Bruce ; Pluto, Ferret, Plumper, the merchant ship Arab, and the barque Jenny Lind. Her Majesty's ship Antelope sailed on the 10th Jan. from Lagos for Fernando Po, to convey her Majesty's consul Mr. Beecroft to Bonny to watch over the interests of British residents in that river, where the insurrection had broken out. The Spy and Destandio, merchant ships, had left Lagos for England without cargoes, owing to the disturbances on the coast. At Cape Coast, the Victory, of Bristol, was taking on board troops for Accra. The United States brig of war Perry was off Point Elunia. Her Majesty's ship Myrmidon, Captain Joliffe, was at Sierra Leone. The French man-of-war El Dorado, the flag-ship of Rear-Admiral Baudin, and frigate Africanie, were at Goree. The United States, an American man-of-war, was in sight off Goree as the Hope was leaving. On January 16, signalled off Cape Three Points the British ship Tapley, running to the east. The Rattler, screw-steamer, was spoken in lat. 48.60, long. 7.30. The ships Julian and Grampian were spoken in lat. 49 N., long. 7.10 W. The state of the coast is somewhat disturbed. On the whole line of coast, from. Sierra Leone to Fernando Po, trade was very dull. Disturbances had broken out in the town of Bonny between the King and his chiefs, which would, in all probabi lity, end in the King's destruction. It appeared that he had been for some time past guilty of acts of oppression towards the chiefs, who had at length risen in rebellion against him. Her Majesty's Consul was expected to arrive at Bonny about the 15th ult. At Lagos there was a most thorough suspension of all business, owing to the disturbed state of the district, but sanguine hopes were entertained that all would be settled without any further appeal to force, as Mr. Campbell, her Majesty's consul, had returned from Jahoa with two of King Tapai's sons, in her Majesty's ship Pluto. Three thousand of Kasoko's followers were near Jahoa, and were expected at Lagos to sue for terms of peace. Sierra Leone was healthy. The rains had ceased. The Rothschild, 647 tons register, Captain Bulke ley, of Liverpool, bound for Mobile, United States, lapen with salt, was wrecked on the 7th of Jan., fifty miles north-west of Madeira. The Rothschild left Liverpool on the 26th December last. 'She en countered a heavy gale from W. N. W. at the beginning of the new year off linden Heads, and soon after sprang a leak. The crew were kept con stantly at the pumps, and she was kept afloat till the 7th of January ; but the water still increasing upon them, she was abandoned on that day, the crew taking to two boats which were on board. The ship went down in an hour afterwards, in sight of the men. At the time of their leaving, there was five feet of water in the hold. Sixteen of her crew came home in the Hope, including Mr. John Christie, the mate, but the captain remained at Madeira, and was to return home in the next steamer. The Hope was not due till to-morrow,not having left on her outward voyage at her usual time. She experienced heavy weather on her return, and en countered strong easterly winds, during which she proved herself to be a good sea-boat. The mails were landed here at nine o'clock, and were taken on to London by the noon train. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, FEB. 11. The Queen and Prince Albert, with the Princess Royal and Princess Alice, rode on horseback this morning in the Home-park.

THE BOSTON MURDER.--ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE OP GUILT.—A, witness named Gooderson, who resided on Witham-green, but now in Falcon-court, heard the pri soner Plummer Simpson, about six or eight months ago, use threatening language towards a female on Witham-green, where the deceased resided, and say that "He would serve her (the deceased) out." It has also been discovered that the prisoner was seen run n i ng away when the deceased was shrieking for help, and that when he was accosted and asked what was the matter, he said (looking , extremely pale and agitated) 44 Oh nothing."
