Teach Russians good manners —protect Turkey—reform the representation— extend the franchise —appeal to public opinion and plain facts, stating the elevating influence and sure protection afforded to all class's by the attire manufactured by E. MOSES and SON —the be ne fits derived from purchasing at their establishments, the best means of retrenchment and economy which the wisdom of the Senate could recommend. Are large and liberal measures or small and antiquated plans of heftiness best calculated to promote the welfare of the kingdoms? Penny postage has increased the revenue by an amazing increase of bus iness, and E. Moses and Sox, by cheapening attire, have ren dered it at the same time more fashionable, more comfortable, and * more easily accessible to individuals and families. * * First, to advance new measures suited to the progress of the times—to bring out the talent, genius, and skill of all countries for the accom modation of the English public, should be the object of such politi cians as would ri'e to distinction. As E. Mosce and Sox have al ways the earliest samples of new productions in every material and every style of dress for the coming seasons, this spring it is certain they will excel the magnificence of the last, from a surprising degree f success which has attended their enterprising efforts. To manage the colonies and to make them profitable has perplexed the talent of this honourable house. The satisfaction in Australia am! all other parts of the world with the business of E. Mosts and Sox is highly encouraging, and their clothing, boots, and shoes, hosiery, kx., is producing a greater amount of profits to merchants and ship pers than any kind of merchandise whatever. Emigrants, ladies, gentlemen, and families are outfitted in the most economical manner, and full lists of outfits, with ship-sailing infor mation, may be had on application, or post free. CAUTION. — E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard *the public against imposition, haying learned that the untradesman-like falsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have Ho CONNEXION WITH ANY OTHER HOUSE IN OR OUT OF LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows : London City Establishment, 154, 155. 156, and 157, Minories, 83, 84,85, and 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church, all communicating.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. The Author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, and has long directed attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is free. Their treatment has unfortunately teen too generally confided to the care of unqualified and ignorant em pirics, who, with their pirated publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrums, inflict great injury on those who are induced to place faith in their preten sions. The serious consequences resulting from such mal-practice may easily be avoided. if sufferers from these maladies were to ascel Lain if their medical adviser be a member of the London College of Physicians, Surgeons, or Apothecaries' Hall, as any one possessing either of these qualifications usually appends it to his name, and thus the legally qualified practitioner can at once be distinguished.• At home for consultation daily from Eleven till Two, and from Six till Eight.

On Monday morning the Cressy left the fitting basin ald steamed to Black Stakes, in the river Medway, where the will take on board her guns, ammunition, &c., and be swung for the adjust ment of her compasses. She will then proceed to the Little Nore, and after being inspected by Vice-Admiral the Hon. Josceline Percy, Commander-in-Chief, will sail for the Downs, on her way tc Spithead, the rendezvous of the fleet destined for service in the Baltic. The Cressy wants about 50 A B's to complete her complement of 750. The Hecla steamer, Mr. P Wellington, master-com manding, is ordered to return to the Downs by the 7th cf . March, to enable the variols masters and others on board her to re-embark in thcir respective ships. The Majestic, 80, screw steam-ship, Captain Charles Hope, is being got ready for Sea service with all possible haste. The whole strength )f the dockyard artificers, now that the Cressy is completed, are employed in her equipment, in order that she may be ready for sea by the 15th of April. Her officers atd men are to be trans ferred forthwith from the St. Lawrence to the Minotaur hulk. The Majestic has not yet entered very many blue jackets. WOOLWICH, FEB. 27. The troop of Royal Horse Artillery and the field bat teries under orders for foreign service assembled in heavy marching order at half-past nine o'clock a.m., and pro ceeded to the common, where they were drawn up in line in open order for the commandant's inspection. Captain Romer's company, the 7th, proceeds to Sheerness to-morrow morning to relieve Capt. Dunlop's company, 7th battalion, and the latter company pro ceeds to Eastbourne, to relieve Captain Turner's com pany, 11th battalion, under orders to return to head quarters. RoYar, MARINES. Her Majesty, by order in Council, dated January the 30th, 1854, has been pleased to direct that 1 lieutenant colonel, 8 divisional companies, and 2 artillery compa nies, be added to the present strength of the corps of Royal Marines. The redistribution of the corps is there fore as follows :-110 divisional companies, each com pany to consist of 1 captain, 2 subalterns, 5 serjeants, 5 corporals, 3 drummers, and 105 privates. Total, 121. Twelve artillery companies, each company consisting of 1 captain, 4 subalterns (either first or7second lieuten ants), 9 serjeants, 8 corporals, 5 bombardiers, 3 drum mers, and 146 gunners—making the whole number in the divisional companies, 13,310 ; artillery companies, 2,112 ; staff, 72. Total strength of the corps, 15,494. The 10 new companies thus ordered, will be attached to the several divisions as under :—Chatham division, 103 and 107 ; Portsmouth division, 104 and 108; Ports mouth artillery companies, 11 and 12 ; Plymouth divi sion, 105 and 109 ; Woolwich division, 106 and 110. DUBLIN, FEB. 27. A Clonmel paper states, that recruiting is going on rapidly in every part of Tipperary, so that between sol diery and emigration " it will be pretty well drained of its population before the next harvest." " Wexford (says a local journal) has never been a place noted for adding much to the numerical force of the army, and has been left to some representative of the Hon. East India Company's service, who was ready to gratify all having military tastes in and around the locality. Now, however, that the war trumpet has sounded its note, we have been visited by parties from the 39th and 50th Regiments, who have succeeded in picking up some dozens of recruits, including five or six from the Union Workhouse." All this will be sad news for the Irish " war" party, who make no secret of their disgust at the military spirit evinced by the people since the recruiting sergeant commenced operations in downright earnest. The 33d Regiment, now lying in the Royal Barracks, expect to embark in the course of the week for service in the East. On Saturday, the regiment was presented with new colours by Lieutenant- General D'Oyly, the colonel-in-chief, who came specially from London for the purpose. THE OVERLAND MAIL. INDIA. We have received our despatches from India and China by the Overland Mail. The dates are —Calcutta, Jan. 20 ; Madras, Jan. 25 ; Bombay, Jan. 28 ; Shanghai, Dec. 31 ; Amoy, Jan. 4 ; Hong Kong, Jau. 11 ; Singapore, Jan. 10 ; and Burmah, Jan. 12. The following is from the summary of the Bom bay Times:— During the past fortnight the interest that for the last twelve months has been felt in Burmese affairs has somewhat diminished owing to the aspect which our political relations with Persia and Affghan istan has assumed. A Court of Inquiry assembled at Prome to investigate the circumstances attend ing Captain Latter's assassination. In his political capacity, Captain Latter, nearly a year ago, found it necessary to proceed against the leader a band of Dacoits whose head-quarters was a village fifteen miles to the south-east of Prome. With his usual promptitude he set forth, but rumour was too quick for him, and when he arrived at the village he found it deserted and the chief fled. So nearly, however, had he accomplished his purpose, that the chief had. no time to remove his family ; they all, therefore, fell into the hands of the captor. Captain Latter is dead, and we would deal lightly with his memory ; but if accounts be true, we fear that his passion overcame his prudence, and that the outlawed chief sustained at his hands disgrace and dishonour. This determined the Dacoit to take adeep and signal revenge, and he seems to have car ried out his schemes with that silent steadiness of purpose and moderation that guarantee success, and prove to the world that when " desperation urges and subtlety guides ," few, if any, are safe. Some time after the flight of the chief Captain Latter made the acquaintance of a Burmese female, who is said to have been in the pay of the Dacoit, and from whom he learned the habits of the British officer. She kept up a correspondence all the time with her employer, and when everything was ready and the time had come to strike the blow, the hired assassins, disguised in female attire, entered unquestioned into the officer's house, and guided by the information which she had furnished, found no difficulty in gaining his sleeping apartment and exe cuting their task. On these mattersbecoming known at Prome, the authorities sent a strong detachment secretly to the village to arrest the assassins but although the village was surrounded in silence and without exciting the least alarm, yet not a soul was to be found in the house in which the mur derers were said to have been. It is added that the chief who instigated the murder has fled to Ava whither the news of the assassinaiion reached, but it is not known with what effect. It is rumoured that Pegu will immediately become a division of the Madras army, and that instructions to that effect have been issued by Lord Dalhousie, as Sir J. Cheape's health will not admit of his longer re taining his command in Burmah. We regret to state that Lieut. Procter when out in camp at Prome caught two Burmese, whom he considered as spies and whom he forthwith hung. He then reported the matter, alleging that he had treated them accord ing to the laws of war. The Governor-General has ordered him to be placed in close arrest, and an inquiry is to be made. 8,000 tons of SOUTH WALES COALS, fit for the service of her Majesty's steam vessels.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge goes out with the expeditionary force with the brevet rank of lieutenant general.• The duke will command a division composed of two brigades —one of the Guards, and the other of regular infantry. The magnificent screw-ship Golden Fleece, to convey the 4th Regiment to the East, will go out of the East India Docks this day, and proceed to Greehithe to have her compasses adjusted, preparatory to running over to Leith to embark her troops. Never will troops be so well lodged as on board this ship. Being of small steam power, 300 horse to 2,500 tons, her capacity is immense, deck after deck is almost clear fore and aft, and half the regiment could almost be exercised in her splendid saloon. The hundreds of tons of stores when deposited are lost in her. This will be her first voyage, for which she has been prepared with a despatch by Mare and Co. unparalleled in these times. This ship could have easily taken a whole regiment of cavalry, horses, guns, and equipment ; as could her sister ship, the Jason, now being completed for the company's service. PORTSMOUTH, FEB. 27. The military preparations for embarking the Ist Bat talion of the Scots Fusilier Guards to-morrow are com plete. Two officers and 50 men with the camp equip ment, baggage, and officers' horses arrived this morning by railway, and at once embarked on board the screw troop-frigate Simoom, Capt. Smith, to make the neces sary arrangements for the reception of the battalion, which will arrive by about 10 o'clock. 50 volunteers from the 35th Foot left this garrison at 6 this morning, per rail for Preston, to join the 77th there, from Glas gow, and embark with them for the East, at Liverpool. The depot of the 11th Foot is ordered to move from Winchester to South Wales. PLYMOUTH, FEB. 27. The splendid screw steamship Himalaya was yesterday the object of general interest and attraction. She was moored about three quarters of a mile from the Citadel and Hoe. Upon these eminences, the weather being re markably fine, hundreds were assembled. Every boat was put in requisition, and in the afternoon a steam tug was kept constantly in motion, to enable the more curi ous to take a closer inspection. Among the numerous visitors were—Admiral Sir Wm. Parker, the newly-ap pointed Port-Admiral, and Flag-Lieut. Sir Jas. Dunbar. The Commander-in-Chief, Sir Harry Smith, paid an official visit in the morning, and inspected the second battalion of the Rifle brigade and the Sappers and Miners under Captain Hassard. The Countess of Mount Edgecumbe, Lady Ommanney, Colonel -Commander Codrington, Captains Gambier, Lowe, Kingcombe, and a numerous assemblage of ladies and gentlemen were present at the Victualling-yard to day to witness the embarkation of the 93d Regiment, which was safely convoyed in about two hours to the Himalaya, in the Sound, by the Confiance, Pike, and Jasper. As these steam-vessels left, the Highlanders were loudly cheered by the military on Stonehouse-point, and by the people who crowded every pusition com manding the passage. The Artillerymen on St. Nicholas Island and the crows of ships joined in bidding the gal lant fellows a hearty farewell. The Himalaya will sail between 11 and 12 o'clock to-morrow morning. A te legraphic communication from the Admiralty was re ceived yesterday by Commodore-Superintendent Sey mour, who went to London by the evening mail train. SHEERNESS, FEB. 27. Instructions have been issued by the Admiralty to the Board of Ordnance to furnish a supply of the Minid rifled muskets to the various ships of the Baltic fleet, in order to render more effective the armament of the Marines serving on board, and in lieu of the ordinary muskets now used, which are to be returned into store. A limited number of the Mini 4 rifles are also to be issued for the use of the seamen. The Cressy, SO, screw steam-ship, Captain R. L. Warren, is completed in her fittings by the dockyard artisans, who for some time past h ave b een a t wor k on her until 10 p.m. Her officers and crew, who during NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. .... Commodore Seymour, superintendent of Devonport Dockyard, was summoned to the Admiralty on Sunday by electric telegraph, and he arrived yesterday morning by mail train. It is said that he is to be Captain of the Baltic Fleet, Capt. Lyons (son of Sir Edmund, second in command of the Mediterranean), who was promoted from the com mand of the Helena, 16, for his gallant attack on the pirates in the China seas, has been appointed to com mand the Miranda, 14, screw, at Sheerness. We understand that every available steamer at the ports will be commissioned immediately. Commander Otter. in the old Comet steamer, has been scouring theWestem islands for seamen volunteers. At the Isle of Skye the gallant officer picked up one man,. but at,Stornowayle entered the first nine good fellows. Sir James 'Mnthison rendered him every as sistance. PORTSMOUTH, FEB. 27. REAR-ADMIRAL CORRY'S SQUADRON.—Every one here has been on the tiptoe of expectation looking for Rear- Admiral Corry's squadron. At 2 p.m. the Magicienne, Captain Thomas Fisher, was signalled to get up steam and go in search. The squadron was reported to have been seen coming up Channel last evening, and we fully expected to have seen them before noon this day. Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Napier, K.C.8., hoisted his flag, as Commander-in-Chief of the fleet for the Baltic (blue at the fore), at 3 o'clock this afternoon, on board the Princess Royal, 91, Captain Lord Clarence Paget, at Spithead, where it will fly until taken by the Duke of Wellington, 131. Sir Charles exchanged salutes with the Port-Admiral, which he duly acknowledged. The Princess Royal was inspected officially this morn ing by Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane, after which she got up steam and stood away to the westward to look for Rear-Admiral Corry's squadron. She was re called from this service, and the Magicienne steam fri gate sent in lieu. The Princess Royal then proceeded to try her speed along the measured mile at Stoke's Bay, with Sir Charles Napier on board, having gone out to her in the Sprightly steam-tender, Acting-Master George Allen, commanding. By' the commissioning of eight more war steamers there seems every probability of the North Sea fleet being of far greater proportions than has been generally contemplated. One of them, the Gorgon, is ordered to be commissioned at this port by Commander Cumming. The Blenheim, 60, Captain the Hon. F. T. Pelham, steamed out of the fitting basin this morning, and tried her engines alongside the jetty, preparatory to going to her hulk to ship her crew and leaving for Spithead. The Cesar, 91, Capt. Robb, hauled out of dock to the steam-basin this afternoon. She has topmasts fidded. The Melampus, Diligence, and'Tortoise, store-ships, came into harbour this morning to land stores for the fleet. WOOLWICH, FEB. 27. The following promotions and appointments have taken place in the corps of Royal Marines, dated Feb. 24. Capt. James Buchanan, of the Woolwich division, to be Lieutenant-Colonel, and appointed to the Plymouth division. ' _ _ Captain Henry George Mitford, of the Woolwich division, to be Lieutenant-Colonel, and appointed to the same division, vice Dawes to retired full pay. First Lieutenant Ebenezer Tristram Thomas Jones, of the Portsmouth division, to be Captain, and ap pointed to the Woolwich division, vice Buchanan pro moted. First Lieutenant Joseph Henry Joliffe, of the Ports mouth division, to be Captain, and appointed to the Woolwich division, vice Mitford promoted. First Lieutenant and Adjutant John Wm. Alexander, Kennedy, of the Woolwich division, to be Captain, and appointed to the Chatham division by augmentation. First Lieutenant Robert Boyle, of the Chatham divi sion, to be Captain, and appointed to the Portsmouth division by augmentation. First Lieutenant Simon Ridley Little, of the Ply mouth division, to be Captain, and appointed to the same division by augmentation. First Lieutenant and Quartermaster, John Elliott, of the Woolwich division, to be Captain, and appointed to the same division by augmentation. First Lieutenant Charles M'Arthur, of the Ports mouth division, to be Captain by augmentation, and appointed to the Chatham division. First Lieutenant Hamond Weston Gwyn, of the Wool wich division, to be Captain by augmentation, and ap pointed to the Portsmouth division. First Lieutenant and Adjutant Charles London Bar nard, of the Artillery Companies, to be Captain, and appointed to the Plymouth division. First Lieutenant Henry George Johnstone Davies, of the Portsmouth division, to be captain by augmentation, and appointed to the Woolwich division. First Lieutenant and Adjutant Rodney Vansittart Allen, of the Woolwich division, to be Captain, and ap pointed to the Portsmouth division, vice Schoenberg, to be transferred to the Artillery Companies on their aug mentation. First Lieutenant Nevinson Willoughby de Conroy, of the Plymouth division, to be Captain, and appointed to the Portsmouth division, vice Julius Roberts, to be transferred to the Artillery Companies on their augmen tation. VIENNA.—The mercantile letters from Vienna state that the 15,000,0001. of bank-notes arranged to be taken out of circulation by the Government are to be converted into 41 per cent, silver metallics—that is to say, the Government issue 15,000,0001. of 41 per cent. metallies at par ; but, as notes lose 25 per cent, against silver, the stock will virtually cost only 75. GREENWICH PENSIONERS ONCE MORE AFLOAT.—It speaks well for the spirit of the British tar that neither years nor infirmities can quench his ardour, nor extin guish that love of country which was his guide in early life. As an example of this, about a hundred of the in mates of Greenwich Hospital, nearly all over sixty years of age, and some exceeding the limit allotted to man, "threescore years and ten," volunteered to serve in her Majesty's vessels in the approaching war with Russia. And although the services of but few of them have been accepted, we doubt not that a ship manned by the gal lant old fellows even now would be able to give a good account of the enemy. Several of the most active will be discharged in a few days at their own request, to join her Majesty's ships and the coast-guard.—Kentish Mer cury. BURMAH. A mission is about to proceed to Ava. Captain Phayre to go as plenipotentiary, when it is hoped that a final settlement will be made with the Bur mese without further bloodshed. The Governor- General, after an absence of five weeks, returned to Calcutta on the I7th inst. During his stay at Rangoon, he proceeded about six miles beyond Meeaday and fixed the boundary line, causing pillars to be built on either side of the river, and he took formal possession of the country in the name of the Queen under a royal salute. The Deputy-Quartermaster-General of the Bengal army has been appointed a special deputy commissioner for the demarcation of the frontier line in Pegu. PERSIA. Intelligence has been received from Persia which seems to warrant the opinion that a Bombay column must shortly be despatched for service in-that country. The Persian farces at Teheran had, it was said, marched en route to the Russian provinces, and when they had proceeded nine marches they were recalled. On returning to Teheran, the British and Turkish agents were directed to quit, and their flags were lowered. The army in Teheran is kept ready to march at a moment's notice, and it appears that some important move is anticipated, although the precise nature of it has been kept secret. Some allege that a junction is to be formed at Orgunje with the Russian force already in that quarter, and that the whole will march to Candahar and Cabul ; others state that after being joined by the troops raised at Sheraz, the occupation of the sea board on the Meckran Coast would be effected, but the favourite opinion was that a descent on Bagdad and Bussorah was contemplated, to anticipate which a force of 11,000 men had been thrown into the latter place. Bushire was in a ferment, and it is even said, that Captain Kemball, our Resident, had been obliged to leave the town and was living on board one of the ships in the harbour. The Island of Karrack is represented as being fortified by the Per sian troops, and stores and munitions of war of all kinds had been conveyed there. The above intelligence is no doubt exaggerated, and we may look for authentic information by the K.C. steamer Auckland now hourly expected. In the meantime, the honourable company's cor vette Falkland is under orders to proceed to the Persian Gulf on the Ist proximo, and will be imme diately followed by the Augusta ; the latter vessel, it is understood, will convey important despatches from Government tp the resident in Bushire. The intelligence that may be brought by the Auckland will doubtless determine the course the Government may deem proper to pursue. Persia is, as far as we are concerned, a contemptible foe; yet much expense and trouble must be necessarily incurred to bring the Shah to his senses. It is greatly to be regretted that the two large steamers on the stocks in our dockyard are not now ready for sea, as they would each carry a whole regiment with followers, and a heavy park of artillery. But the delay is not to be attributed to the Bombay Government, the home authorities being to blame in the matter, by having given the contract for the engines to parties in Lon don who have not been hitherto able to fulfil their engagements, the company, in the meantime, re ceiving from the contractors demurrage at the rate of 101. per diem. At a juncture like the present, when we know not what an hour may bring forth, the loss to the state of the services of two such ves sels as the Assaye and Punjaub will be, if a war takes place, most seriously felt, and the hon. com pany may find that the amount of demurrage which they are said to have received, so far from being a saving, 'will ultimately prove a grievous loss. Much inconvenience, too, will be experienced in manning the fleet ; the Falkland proceeds to the Persian Gulf with but 18 European seamen on board, and yet she is a sloop of war, and may be engaged in active warlike operations. The difficulty in obtaining seamen is owing to the low rate of wages which the hon. company pay. A seaman can now in this port obtain in the merchant Ber -1 vice four or five pounds per month, while his pay in the company's marine amounts but to two. AFFGHANISTAN. We learn from .Cabul that the Russian army had halted within two marches of Khiva, and was con structing cantonments. Four envoys had been sent to Dost Mahomed, soliciting him to proceed to the banks of the Oxus to receive the accredited agents of the Czar, whose object it was to form a quadruple alliance between the Czar, the Khan of Khiva, the Ruler of Cabul, and the King of Bok hara. Dost Mahomed consented to the alliance, but declined crossing the Oxus to meet the King of Bokhara, unless the Russian General would cross to the Affghan side of the river, and bring with him as a hostage the son of the Prime Minister to the King of Bokhara. It is added that Dost Ma homed is willing to forget all the ills he received at the King of Bokhara's hands, holding that the importance of the quadruple alliance calls for the burial of all private animosity. All this in telligence, must, we are of opinion, be received cum grand ; yet it tends to show how wide spread are the machinations of Russian intrigue. As to anticipating an invasion of India, we believe that if such a mad project were attempted, it could only end in defeat and disaster to the invader. There are at present troops located on our north-west frontier sufficient to sweep India from the Hima layas to Cape Comorin ; and as for Persia, a force despatched to Bushire or Karrack will speedily bring Nusseer-ud-Deen to his senses. We learn from Umballa that a most brutal murder has been perpetrated in that station by a British officer, who is in confinement in consequen ce . M atters ' continue as usual at Lucknow ; the intemperance of the monarch suffers no diminution, and crime has of course increased. The latest accounts from [PRICE SD. ' Hyderabad (Deccan) represent a somewhat worse state of confusion and crime as prevailing in the Nizam's country than usual. Murders are of frequent occurrence in, the city, and the worst of outrages are perpetrated in the di s t r i c t s . The Nizam appears to have lost his natural senses, and all his enactments emanate from those around him, even from his menials. His minister who has not yet attained his twenty-third year, is under the influence of Mr. Dighton'S Moonshee, at whose recommendation he' was raised to the dignity of Dewan. Durbars are- seldom held, as the Nizam is generally indisposed when th e r e s id en t ca ll s for one. During the latter years of General Fraser's tenure of office,' it was supposed that the Arab mer cenaries were to be removed from the service and territories of the Nizam, and this kept them some what orderly, but since the new Resident has ar rived, matters have taken a different course, and seizures of land have been made by the recently ap pointed deputy commissioners, which have caused much dangerous excitement: Some of the estates of the Ameers have been seized under the plea, that they form part of the districts ceded to the Honourable Company, and as the despoiled Ameers can get no redress, it is predicted that if the estates are not restored, the Ameers will unite to defend their own by arms, and that such a flame will be kindled in the Deccan as will take torrents of blood to quench. The field force which we mentioned as having been sent against .the predatory Rohillas under the command of Captain Orr, from Hingolee, has been consider ably increased by the addition of a squadron of the 4th cavalry under Lieutenant Fraser from Bolarum, and a -wing of infantry from the canton ment of Wurrungul under Captain Hare. With this addition to his force, we doubt not Captain Orr will give a good account of the marauders who have so long kept the country of the Nizam in hot water. Accounts from Nagpore represent Berar to be in a state of perfect tranquillity. The administration of the State is carried on by Mr. Mansell, the resident, pending the instructions of Government; and the brigadier commanding, in order to be on the safe side, has decided on refusing , leave of absence to any of his officers. The neigh bouring Rajahs are anxiously watching how affairs will be finally settled, as in the absorption of the Nagpore territory, they will see ,but the fate that awaits their own dominions. Rumour also has it, that the deceased Rajah has willed the country to the East India Company. 47/ -, 2~~~~r ,4 COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Calcutta Overland Price Current of Jan. 19.) The steamer Bombay came in on the 4th inst. with London dates to the 24th November, an 4 the Hindostan arrived on the 14th inst. with dates to the Bth ult. In digo has been • selling here very freely since the date of our last report, by private contract as well as by public auction, at an advance of 10r. to 15r. on last year's prices for the finer qualities, worth 170 per maund and upwards ; 7,235 chests have changed hands since the 6th inst. The business done in saltpetre has been very moderate without any alteration in value. Rice con tinues to be freely exported to Great Britain and France. Raw silk remains dull without any further decline in value. The inquiry : for torahs has improved. Sugar has been in active demand for Bombay and the Persian Gulf ; the discouraging accounts of the article from home, coupled with high prices and freights here, re strict exports to the British market ; stocks are, how ever, so much reduced,' that prices have advanced three to four annas per maund. The demand for hides con tinues active. There has been less inquiry for linseed, and rapeseed has been quite neglected. Lac dye and shellac remain without much inquiry, and the few sales lately made show a reduction on former prices. Jute is freely taken at full previous value, while supplies are still moderate. We have no improvement to report in our market for cotton goods, which has continued dull, and now ex hibits indications of a declining tendency, while holders seem more anxious to realize. The up-country dealers have not as yet displayed any increased animation. The demand for shirtings and jaconets has slackened, and these important fabrics find it difficult to maintain their quotations. Fancy goods are also dull, and looking down. Very few of the Affghan dealers have yet appeared, and it is evident that the trade by the route of the Indus has drawn many of them away from this quarter. The inquiry for mule twist has also abated, and some counts have de clined a little in value. Turkey red yarn, both British and German, are in fa' demand . Metals are much re ged in stocks, and I ' for higher rates, which deiders are unwilling Were, not calculating on the pro bable consequences of the favourable alteration in the French tariff in regard to iron, &c. The transactions in metals have consequently been limited. We have no change to note in the position of our money-market, which continues well supplied. The share-market remains buoyant and still with an ad vancing tendency. Company's paper is quoted at 101 Company's rupees, Fours ; and 99 8 sicca ditto ; Trans fer Fives at 105 4. In consequence of a sudden and considerable demand on the 17th, the price rose to 102 for Company's, and 101 for Sicca Fours ; but, as the de mand was not sustained, rates fell back to our quota tions. Exchange has kept up to 2-% for first-class credits, and 2-1 i documents. Bills on China are quoted at 233 to 234 per $lOO. . . Freights are at 4/. 7s. 6d. to 4/. 10s. saltpetre; 4/. 10s. sugar ; 51. ss. rice ; Si. 10s. seeds to London. MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.

BOMBAY MARKETS. (From the 14th to the 28th of January.) We have no change to report in the state of the money market during the past fortnight. Money is still easily obtainable, and there has been no advance in the rate of discounts. There is, however, a growing uneasiness at the unsettled state of matters in Europe, and the proba bility of India being also involv e d i n hostilities on the frontier and in Persia in the event of a European war, and securities of all descriptions are in consequence ne glected as an investment. With the exception of Com mercial Bank shares, the quotation for which is rather higher, as it includes the bonus of 1 per cent. just de clared, and the right to an allotment of one new share for three old, we quote lower prices for all joint-stock shares ; and Government securities, which have been as low as 1 per cent. premium, have only rallied about 1 per cent., in consequence of large purchases, as a mediu m of remittance to Calcutta, on which place the exchan g e has advanced to 11 per cent. premium for b ills at si g ht. Closing quotations are as under : Government Five per Cent. Loan of 1841-42, above No. 19,000, 1011 per cent, Ditto below, 103 per cent. Ditto Four per Cent. Loan, 1835-36, 1011 per cent. Ditto Four per Cent. Loan, 1842-43, 1011 per cent. Bank of Bombay shares, 33 per cent. premium. Oriental Bank Corporation 90 per cent. premium, Commercial Bank, 35 per cent premium. Agra Bank, 50 per cent. premium. Mercantile Bank, 21 per cent. premium. Since the departure of the last mail the market has been unusually dull, and in piece goods no improvement has taken place, except in the lower descriptions of gray an d bleached skirtings, Madapollams, and jaconets. Tonnage is very scarce, and freights have advanced materially, and 4/. per ton is now demanded for London and Liverpool ; to China we may quote 20rs. to 22rs. per candy of cotton. Exchange on England is steady at 2s. Clad to 2s. 0 15-16 d. for China credits at 6 months' sight, and 2s. lAd. for local document bills. On Calcutta, the rate is Bombay 1001 rs. ; per Calcutta 10Ors. at 2 months' sight ; and on China entirely nominal at 231 rs. to 232r5. per 100 dollars, CHINA. - --- • --- The following is from Hong Kong, dated the 11th of January :—Our advices from Shanghai are to the 30th ult., and by his Imperial French Ma jesty's steamer Cassini, arrived here on the 7th inst., we have dates to the 3d inst. The Cassini's safe arrival at Woosung, from Nankin, we reported last mail, and the principal news of interest is her trip to that city and back. The Cassini arrived off Nankin on the 6th, and left on the 14th ult. A gun was fired at her before anchoring, said to be by accident, and a satisfactory apology was made by the insurgent authorities. This was the only dent in the voyage. His Excellency the French Minister, M. Bourbillon, it app ears , cou ld no t ob tain an audience with the kings, but had a private ) interview with the Prime Minister of Tae-ping-wang, said to be of equal rank with the kings. M. Bour billon met with perfect civility, but with great cold ness and hauteur. The accounts confirm, those first brought by her Majesty's steamer Hermes. The leader of the rebels seems to exereise unbounded influence over his adherents, and enforces his laws with un sparing severity. Of all the immense population, reported at 480,000 women and 600,000 men, no one was observed smoking even Chinese tobacco, and it appears true about their having everything in common. The troops were numerous, but very ill armed, the best men being in the north. They stated that they had news from Pekin that the gates of that city were invested by their adherents, and when it is taken they were likely to proceed to Shanghai. There is a report that the insurgents had cap tured a city north of Pekin, which looks as if th e i r object was to prevent the Emperor's escape. There is no positive confirmation yet of the capture o Tien-tsin. The Pekin Gazette of the 28th of Nog vember does not mention it, but the report is gene_ rally believed. . . Shanghai was quiet, and but little skirmishing going forward, and the Taoutae has sent away his Canton fleet. Some attempts had been made to treat with the rebels in the city, but the messenger, a mandarin, was decapitated. There was nearly being a serious rupture between the rebels and the French, the former "having arrested and tortured two Chinese Catholic Chris tians, said to be apies. The affair, however, was fortunately arranged. The Russian Admiral left Shanghai on the 24th ult. in the screw steamer Vostock, to join his frigate at Saddle Islands, and then to proceed to Nagasaki. Our dates from Ningpo are to the 31st ult., when everything remained quiet in that neighbourhood. From Foo-chow-foo our advices are, to the 2d inst. The city w as qu i et, b ut t h e vicinity infested by pirates, and her Majesty's brig Bittern was ordered out on a cruize after them. The Hastings with teas had sailed on the 26th nit., reported for Liverpool. The American ship Howqua was the only vessel in port. Our reports from Amoy of the 7th inst....mention. - that there were rumours of constant fighting taking place in the interior. There was some activity in cotton ; but trade otherwise was dull, and all were anxiously looking forward to what the Chinese New Year would bring forth, being so much disappointed in their expectations of a good business after the recapture of the city. Canton remains without disturbance, with every appearance of the Chinese New Year's-day passing over quietly, and engagements being satisfactorily met. Imports are unaltered, and the business is not likely to be important till after the New-Year. Common congous are half a tael cheaper, but the better qualities are, firm. The export to Great Britain is still in excess of last year to the same time ; but that to the United States and the Con tinent shows a decrease. Exchange, ss. ld. to ss. 2d. for English bills ; Company's bills, 243 r. 241 r. Sycee silver, 3 per cent. discount bar silver, 2.5 discount ; gold, $2O 90 per t ae l ; Mexi can dollars, 4.40 discount ; this coin now circu lates more freely. Freights to England, 41. 10s. Imports were unsaleable at Shanghai. Tea and silk shipments were going on, and were a little cheaper. The export of the latter from Shanghai was 35,000 bales. Exchange for bills on England, 6s. 2d. for Shanghai dollars ; Company's bills, 300 r. 290 r. Freights, 71. to 81., owing to scarcity of ships. The United States' squadron, under Commodore Perry, is still here, but will leave shortly, we hear, for Japan: A second detachment of the Ceylon Rifles leave in the mail steamer to-day. The Enterprise has been taken up for the con veyance to England of the corps of the Sappers and Miners, whose relief lately arrived, and the inva lids of the 59th Regiment. The mail of the Bth of November arrived on the 4th inst., and we hourly look for the steamer with the 24th of November mail. Her Majesty's ship Comus arrived from the Cape on the 29th ult. The Spanish steamer Jorge Juan is here, waiting the mail steamer's arrival, as the new Governor of the Philippine Islands is expected by her.

The estimattd export to Great Britain still shows an excess on that of last year to the same time, but to the continent and United States there is a considerable falling of.

SHIPMENTS OF WHEAT FROM THE RUSSIAN PORTS,—. By official returns it appears that the shipments of wheat from the Russian ports of the Black Sea and the Sea of Azoff last year were 4,200,000 qrs. This enormous total does not include any quantities from the newly. acquired ports on the Danube, and the shipments from the north of the empire were also considerable. The stocks of wheat remaining at the Black Sea ports on t h e Ist of January were nearly a million and a-half of qrs. ; and it is therefore estimated that, adding the northern supply, Russia must last year have had available for ex portation nearly 7,000,000 qrs.
