LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Min burgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &a. fearful Con. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have proauced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, petsrhper aps, usal any other class of disease kno wn to modern pathologists. I 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. It is absolutely necessary thatall 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 ofd,condt self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigate bow the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences maybe avoided, an functional above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. The Author has for a series of years been engaged in a w e s xtensive practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, h have unfortunately been too generally confided to the care of ignorant empirics, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place faith in their pretensions.

ATTSTRALIA. - SYD.REt, SEPT; 2:o.4—The Madras arrived - here with the mails of. July in'GQ.days from - the latest Loudon date; they were doliVel-ed at Port Philip withni 87. The fact that .such a -passage can be accomplished has given the greatest satisfaction to all classes-in tlio colony; especially at a period when intelligence from Europe is expected with .such fe.verish, anxiety. .. The-hope of- establishing Any thing-like a speedy and reittilat communication with England was growing: very and -recitiirecl something to revive it. As but a short time has elapsed since the depar ture of the Croesns, :there 'A no great Innis of intel ligence for the present mail ; but it is rather more interesting thin the last, `'and. in nearly everything but the state of commercial affairs; which are even more depressed than at the.opening of the month, it may be considered satisfactory. • The yield of gold,-new the gauge of gur, prosperity, keeps -fully up to its average. On the fields of .New South Wales there is an indication of increase, and more labour and activity are being thrown into the pur suit. In Victoria what was -thought- a short time ago to be the " expiring-I3idlarat" has just emitted a Lash. of its former wealth and splendour in the shape Of a nugget of 981 b. wei g ht, as if i n h onour of the visit of the: new ' - G - Overncir, who has just arrived there on his tour. The lucky finders of the treaSute immediately named it the " Lady Hotham nugget." Sir Q. Fitzroy communicated to the Council on the 12th inat. that he had received the official noti fication of his recall. It is stated Sir = William Denison is to succeed-him.— The announcement has been received here : wi* very qualiAecl approval, and the nomination cannot be called popular. The battle the colony fought against the- transportation system, and the part Sir W. Denison took in it, contending stoutly to the last for the continuance of the " importation *of felons," are not yet for gotten, nor forgiven. There is, on this account, a prejudice against him, which will demand time and tact on his part to overcome. -The quiet current of local politics has been broken by a movement in the Council amounting at, once to a resolution for stopping the supplies and an im peachment of "the Ministry." This measure has been provoked by the apathy, carelessness, and ge neral incapacity of the members of the Executive Government, made more apparent since the-depar ture of Mr. Deas Thompson, the late Colonial Secre tary... • His industry and administrative ability, joined with great tact in directing the proceedings of the Council itself, covered a multitude of sins in his subordinates. He was always able to come to the rescue of a blunderer, and always prepared with an explanation on any subject. Whether some of the incapacity so ev;dent in the "heads of de- partments now may not have been 'partly pro duced by the long-continue . d habit of turning over all the business to the one able chief, till the others knew less of their duties than some of their clerks, may be a question. Certain it is that in the pre sent session the officials have been, to use a corn-' mon phrase, "all at sea." The incompetence manifested itself gradually, and reached so high a degree of development during the discussion of the supplementary estimates for the present year that the patience of the Opposition broke down, and Mr. C. Cowper gave notice of the following reso made on the former vote of the legislative body ; and there was a general feeling that the experiment must be made, though with its present knowledge of how the production and exportation of gold have worked, the Council would certainly not petition for a Mint now. It was alleged that the petition had only been granted under a condition that ren dered the, privilege valueless. It was expected that _the Australian sovereigns would be imperial coin, whereas they are to hear a distinctive stamp, though they will be of the exact weight and value as the gold coinage of England. This distinction is con sidered fatal ; the gold coined in the colony will be exported and received at as bullion only ; it will not be a legal tender either in England or any Of the British possessions ; it .is doubtful whether it would pass current in the neighbouring Australian province of Victoria. Why go to the expense, it is asked, of striking coin that beyond the boundary of New South Wales will be but so much gold? The metal as it is dug up suffices fOr every purpOse of commerce ; its value,is per fectly- well known. In fact, gold commands a higher price here than it does in London, and more than a-Mint would impart to it—at least nominally. °aid and minor objections were not wanting. The expense of the establishment will be out of all pro portion to the population of the colony ; it will be at least 12,0001. a year for less than 250,000 inha bitants, whileit is ,said the Mint of the United States supplies the coinage of 26,000,000 of popula lion for : 30,000/. per annum. • It is calculated that an issue from the Mint of 100,0001. a-year would be amply sufficient for the internal trade of the colony ; the machinery about to be erected is capable of coining several millions in the same space of time. Nor were these objections confined to the Council ; they prevail equally out of doors the Sydney Chamber of Commerce Condemned the proposal, and 164 of the principal merchants, bankers, and traders of the city signed a petition against it. The opposition, however, has been raised too late ; the Executive is bound by its en gagement with the Colonial-office, and was com pelled to resist the appointment of a committee of inquiry, which was negatived only by a small ma jority of five. The Council, on the motion of Dr. Lang, has discussed the question of ere c ti ng th e M ore ton-bay district of New South Wales into a separate pro vince, to which it is proposed to give the name of Cooksland. The suggestion excites a stronger op position than the circumstances justify; these di visions of territory are inevitable, and are merely questions of time and expediency. The province of Now South Wales extends over an area equal to the surface of Great Britain and France combined; it is evident that the enormous distances from point to point must render the administration of the local affairs of a distant settlement, when they have to be referred to the centre, both tedious and uncertain. The increase of population in the dis tant north of the province must eventually compel the Colonial-office to give that rising district a separate local Government ; toe much importance should not be attached to the feeling against the proposal in the capital. The only questions should be whether the population of Moreton-bay really suffer in their interests by the remoteness of the seat of Government, and whether they are as able as they say they aro willing to pay the expenses of a local administration. Iu the district north of the 30th parallel of latitude there aro about 15,000 in habitants, and the exports from it are valued at 500,0061. sterling a year. It "possesses laud both arable and pastural of the finest le.3cription, navi gable rivers, and a harbour," and is as well calcu lated to be the centre of another colonial system as Port Jackson or Port Philip. On the other hand, it is alleged that the demand for separation is pre mature, and that the district is not yet able to support the rather expensive machinery of a Colo nial Government. It is remarked that for all prac tical purposes Moreton-bay is nearer to Sydney than many places in the interior, that its resources are overrated, that a local board to manage local mat ters is all that can be required, and that an inde pendent Executive would merely involve it in debt and difficulties with the other colonies. A popula tion of 15,000 is, it must be confessed, a very small one for a province, and in general the case of the advocates of separation is much weaker in the facts advanced in support of it than in principle. Dr. Lang's motion was negatived by 25 votes to 7. The important question connected with the in crease of the Australian provinces in number and power has hitherto been strangely overlooked or forgotten. Nothing has ever been done to lay the foundation of a system of general control over their legislation, or to secure the means of any com mon action between thorn like that supplied by the federal authority of the United States. It might be supposed that the Imperial power or the Colo nial-office would supply the deficiency, but it does not ; nor can it ever do so. It disallows certain acts or laws that happen to be at variance with the principles of the English constitution, or trench on the prerogatives of the Crown, and thus exer cises a certain control over the legislation of the provinces in those questions that affect therelations between them, as dependencies of England, and the Imperial authority ; but on local affairs the several Councils show a decided tendency to legislate with out the slightest care how their policy may affect their neighbours. It is even now easy to foresee on what points the most difficult conflicts will hereafter arise. Many acts may receive the sanction of the Crown, as containing nothing objectionable as far as the authority or interests of the mother country are concerned, which may cause the most mischievous confusion in the relations of the provinces to each other. Thus the several tariffs of Customs' duties are becoming yearly more different ; the import duties* of Victoria already differ so much from those of New South Wales, that on the frontier between these provinces on the River Murray they have rival Custom-houses, between which the settlers are as methodically harassed and impeded in their trade as if the two colonies were foreign States. If a new province were created at Moreton-bay its tariff would probably differ from both those above mentioned, and more Custom-houses would be re quired on another inland frontier. Victoria has just passed an absurd postage act, differing from the system of all the other provinces, and that of England also, making any arrangement of a gene ral system of postal communication with Europe for this continent almost impossible, and throwing the correspondence between the two provinces themselves into the greatest confusion. Auy of the other Councils have it in their power to add to the mischief by some blunder of the same kind. In granting the Mint to New South Wales, it appears to have been left doubtful whether the gold coined in it will be current in either of the other three provinces, and it is by no means impossible they may each at some future time petition for a Mint of their own, though one well-appointed establish ment could with ease issue more coin yearly than the whole continent will require for its annual supply for the next two centuries. There is an University at Sydney, with an able staff of pro fessors and an endowment of 5,0001. a year, which the Government, with much good nature, pays for finishing the education of 15 young gentlemen. As there is no public or preparatory school to feed the University, it is all but useless ; one educational establishment of this kind would more than meet the requirement; of the whole of the provinces for several generations, ydt another is being founded in Melbourne, with a second endowment and another body of professors, and an equal certainty of failure in its chief object, from the same cause. The two provinces might have given some value to one esta blishment, had any power directed the respective Governments in a united action ; but two Univer sities for a population less than that of a small English county, where there is not a single public or high school, to give the previous education re quired to "graduate" with any advantage, is a de plorable error. Even pursuits common to both provinces are governed by different systems, though the nature of the case required that one principle should be observed. Tho tendency to legislate without regard to the general effect of their policy, or in a spirit of provincial rivalry, is rapidly in creasing, and the establishment of some authority, federal in effect, if not in name, will soon become absolutely necessary. The provincial Legislatures will shortly receive increased powers ; but the esta blishment of what is called " responsible govern ment," without creating an authority to control the acts of the Councils as they may a ff ec t th e whole group of colonies, Will produce many enor mous evils. The constitutions sent home for approval all vary ; but none of them contain any contain it—for creat inge authorityul could within the colonies s upply the kind of s u p erv i s i on hitherto exer cised, though very P ti lvi a i mays provision--nor imperfectly, by the Crown. If this is left undone, a few years hence there will be on the Australian continent several independent States (there are already four, with a fifth fast growing up), each with a local Govern ment and Legislature, strongly imbued with local feelings and jealousies. They will still be depen dencies of England, but, having the control of the colonial finances and the land fund, time imperial power will present but a slight check in pra ctice to [PRICE SD. much inter-colonial rivalry ; and we may yet soe Englishmen, in the ago of free trade, fighting each other with hostile intercolonial tariffs. As the im perial authority withdraws or lessens its inter ference with all these States separately, some Australian board, council, or senate must be created, with a power of disallowing or suspend ing those portions of the local legislation which would evidently be a general mischief. Tho problem, briefly stated, is this :—One country will in a few years be under the government of five or more Legislatures. Though Australia is generally called "a colony," it is much more ; it is a cluster of States on a vast continent, to which State after State will be added in the course of time. They have long outgrown the shadow of authority vested in a Governor-General ; the control, of the Crown will in future apply only to certain defined laws and acts ; over all other questions the local councils will have full authority, and without some power on the continent itself, and rooted in it, to guide the separate Legislatures into something like har mony with each other, or, at least, to prevent them from coming into, conflict with each other, every thing will degenerate, year by year, into more help less confusion. Such a body might be formed now the pending settlement of the constitutions of all the several States by the Imperial Parliament fur nishes an opportunity that may never again occur. It is for English statesmen to consider how the Op portunity_ is to be -used, and the consequences of neglecting it. Sir Charleanotham, as above stated, has paid a visit to the gold fields of his government ; as he did not go in state, and dispensed oven with the attendance of an "orderly," he was some time among the diggers at Bendigo before he was recog nised: His- Excellency and his 'lady were most loyally received thrciughout '-the'ir tour,- and-Sir Charles has evidently impressed the mining popula tion very favourably. The gold returns of Victoria show that the pro duce of the several fields not only keeps up to an average of 30,000 ounces per week, but that for the month ending on the Ist of September the weekly average was above that quantity ; it was 131,563 ounces. This return includes only what is sent in to Melbourne and Geelong by the escorts, but there is good reason to believe that a large ad ditional quantity is brought down for sale by private conveyance, as the roads to the nearer fields are now much safer to travel with a " heavy belt" than they were even a year ago. For the week ending the 2d of September the quantity of gold received at Melbourne was 28,041 ounces ; for the week ending on the 9th it was 31,728 ounces. The whole quantity of gold shipped from the colony during the present year is 1,489,800 ounces, valued at 5,923,200/. sterling. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. Commercial affairs both in Sydney and Melbourne continue in a state of the utmost depression, and com plaints are loud and heavy of everything being over-. done. Many predict " a crash," and there will no doubt be some minor failures ; but that what is understood by the term "a commercial convulsion" will occur does not appear probable. The bulk of the losses on the late large shipments and forced sales will fail on the exporters at home, who have speculated with some thing like infatuation, regardless of the numbers of the population, or what suits the market. Ttie resi dent firms, who order exactly what is wanted, have the command of storeroom, and can wait, are not positive losers, though at present they may not be making profits. The immense deposits in the banks of Sydney and Mel bourne, and the fact that the paying power, the yield of gold, is rather increasing than diminishing, indicate that the mass of the mercantile houses are pethaitly "solvent," and something more. The retailers who have taken premises on lease in the last two years, trusting to the continuance of excessively high prices, and find business decrease both from competition and the glut of goods, will be the severest sufferers. A gradual descent to a more natural level of rents and prices would be a public advantage, though it might involve the ruin of some of the over-sanguine traders, who appear to have believed at one time everything could go on rising for ever. Tho severe losses . of many exporters in Eng land must at last produce their effect, though all the warnings from the colony during the last year have failed to impress on their minds the fact that 600,000 human beings cannot consume so much as 6,000,000 ; that there is a limit to the consuming power of the colony, and that that limit has been fully reached. The stocks in Sydney and Melbourne are enormous ; and it will require time to reduce them. So completely has the state of things changed, that English manufactured geode can be bought here and re-exported to Europe at a profit • and a system of speculation, based on the cer tainty that it can be done, is actually springing up. It will be perhaps difficult to give steadiness to trade with a "land of gold" till a few years of experience has given some severe lessens. San Francisco and Cali fornia are equally over supplied in this, the fifth year of their golden era, and the returns of sales in that region, like these from Australia, show that the shippers are losing. As for the communities thus over-cared for, all who are only consumers of course will hear of the ruin of their mercantile benefactors with great calm ness. All the commercial reports agree in recom mending caution to exporters on speculation ; there have been so few transactions since the last mail that prices remain unchanged. In many articles they are only nominal, for no business is being done in them. The Sydney branch of the Oriental Bank has announced it will allow interest of 2 to 5 per cent, on deposits. The plan has excited much hostility from the other banks, which 'nave been declaring large dividends, made by the use of the extensive deposits, for which they paid nothing. It is not unlikely that, however reluctant, the old banks will bo compelled to adopt the same system finally.

Tnat tho Government of the colony, as at present administered, does not possess the confidence of this House. "2. That this,Council resolves to postpone the con. sideratioii of the estimates for the year 1855, until it is assured that the public expenditure will be made under a GOvernment formed upon the principle of Ministerial responsibility. " 3. That an address be presented to his Excellency the Govarnor-General, transmitting the foregoing re-; solutions, and respectfully requesting that his Excel. lency will be pleased to take them into his favourable consideration." The censure is confined to the officials connected with the administrative departments of the Go vernment. Mr. Cowper made a special exemption iu favour of the Attorney-General and Solicitor- General. The other officers he accused of want of zeal, want of knowledge, want of industry, and want of good manners, the last always telling for something in the management of all bodies of men, from parish vestries to Imperial Senates ; but the chief special charges sprang from the management of the expenditure of the province. The Executive does appear to be falling into a system of extrava gance that no revenue so liable to fluctuations can. , justify. The supplementary estimates for the pre sent year amount to 185,0001. over and above the ordinary expenses. It is more than the whole ex penditure amounted to a few years ago, and is not accounted for Dither by any sudden increase of the population or by the outlay on public works and roads. There is a strong feeling out of doors against the mismanagement that must exist some where, and it is expressed even in quarters once favourably disposed to the official system genes-- ally. The Sydney Herald, for instance, describes the position of the Executive at present as one " of Jarring incoherence, of helpless decrepitude, and imbecility little short of mental aberra tion." Nor was the language used by Mr. Cow per in the house much more qualified. He said the officers of the Government, in the discus sion on the supplementary estimates, had displayed "an ignorance, apathy, and carelessness in the highest degree reprehensible,—he could use no milder terms ; the history of the progress of that estimate through the House was the most painful passage in his Parliamentary experience ; one pub lie officer frequently contradicted another ; the grossest ignorance was displayed both in reference to the items and the works for which they were intended. The House would not be discharging its duty if it suffered the money of the public any longer to be squandered by such a set of inoaPa bles." The general charges were supported by refer ence to particular errors and shortcomings, and he wound up by observing that " the motion, if it did nothing else, would enable the House to wash its hands of all responsibility for the mismanage ment of that Government, which he must pro nounce the most imbecile, the most inefficient, the most wasteful, and the most profligate under the sun." The Executive can, of course, as far as votes will do it, set this or any similar motion at defiance ; lint the effect of such a debate, and the general discontent that has produced it, are de structive of that confidence and respect which it is the true interest even of an " irresponsible" Go vernment to secure. The charges should have been met by especially as an immediate reply of some kind, ample time had been given to prepare for the discussion. This was not (lame, and the Executive committed another error in sitting silent under the castigation, and merely applying, through the Solicitor-General, for an adjournment of the question for a week. The impression, therefore, on the publi c is, that su c h c h arges can be made, and nothing can be found to repel them. Such a dis- ' cussion iu the last weeks of Sir Charles Fitzroy's government must be very unpleasant to him, though he cannot b e ma d e respons ibl e f or the bad' system under which misumnagement has had no cheek from public opinion legitimately represented. Ho has worked with the instrument as it was transfer red to him, and has loft it neither better nor worse than ho found it. The evil is in thcesystein itself, which secures to the Executive a certain majority, and makes it in effect all but absolute. It is easy to call the few representatives of the large centres of population and influence " a factious Opposi tion,' and override them by the votes of the nominee members who represent nothing ; but it is a mere semblance of power, and the confidence created by the reliance on such majorities is a false one. The motion will be defeated, but the contempt and irritation it expresses will not be diminished. Such is ono of the results of what is supposed at home to be " the representation of the p eop l e " i n the coloni es . It i s a c l ever ly devised mockery of it, which studiously preserves all the names and terms of a representation deprived of all active and healthy controlling power. The result of the want of con fidence debate cannot be known in time for this mail. The colonial 'Mint maybe considered established, though it will be long ere it is actually in operation. Rather frightened at the future expense of the stair of officers, and doubting its present utility, a strong effort has been made in the Council to sus pend its establishment. Mr. Parkes, one of the members for Sydney, moved for a select committee to -inquire into the whol e subject. The debate opened the great question of the currency, and, in point of abstract principles, proved as unsatis factory as currency debates usually are elsewhere. The ordivaty problems were stated—what is money generally? and " what is a pound 1" in p ar ti cular— and received the usual conflicting answers. But, as no theory of the probable 'or possible results of establishing a Mint could get rid of the fact that the Council in the first alarm of the gold discovery bad petitioned for the privilege of coin ing, and had had it granted, the main question had to be settled on very practical grounds. A large expense bad been incurred and engagements large commercial transactions have taken lila*, sites for go-downs and dwellings have been i)nr c •,ased by foreign firms ; the prices have been tete tied with the motive proprietors, the limits fixed, and the ground actually occupied ; all that remained was inerL•ly the formal affiKing of the seal of the mandarins ; but up to the present time we are told remonstrances, entreaties, and th - reats, have proved ineffectual, and the foreign merchants cannot take a single step towards building on their lots. Hun dreds of thousands of dollars' worth of valuable \property lies unsafely deposit e d i n pl aces w h ere there is not the slightest security against fire or ' plunder, and all these vexatious hindrances have been more marked and aggravated since Sir John Bowing's interview with the viceroy. Ningpo is quiet, but how long the mandarins can ward off the coming blow is very uncertain. An immense number of junks block up the mouth of the river off Chinhae, and also in the river off the city of Ningpo, partly unable to dispose of their cargoes, but more generally deterred by fear of pirates from venturing out Thetosea. stc be wh or t -country is out of joint, and things must much worse before they are likely to get bettet. The piratical fleet from the south, which was in the employ of the Taoutae Samqua for conquering the rebels at Shanghai, is now assembling in great force in the Chusan group, attacking and destroy ing, without mercy or distinction, any craft, whether native or European, which comes within its reach. Great fears are entertained of their being embold ened to attack Ningpo ; and, in that case, the city would be not unlikely to fall into their hands. Apak, the noted pirate chief, is in Ningpo, and openly levies black mail. The English vice-consul has - written urgent communications to the senior naval officer in command at Shanghai, representing the danger of .the city, and the importance of despatching a vessel of war in search of the pirates. This state of things shows to what straits the Chinese Government is reduced, when it calls to its aid against its own rebellious subjects a band of pirates who one month are the paid mercenaries of his Imperial Majesty, and the next month may become a buc caneering squadron, dealing destruction and rapine upon the inoffensive and defenceless p o p u l at i on along the coast. How the present dynastycan mush longer stand on its legs will be a marvel.lt is all but powerless for the protection of the seaboard. MIT4ITA.ItY INTELLIGENCE.

Since the 27th ult., the date of our last advices, we have no transactions to report in imports, sad little has been done in purchases of tea. TEA..—For the fortnight the business has been on a very limited scale, confined to chops of congou and about 4,000 packages scented teas. Prices are without alteration. The eight chops that have been expected for some time have been received, but only two of them . are in condition. For these (Woonana kinds,) Ts. 32 to Ts. 34 are asked. It is said further supplies have reached a place on the river, but the difficulties in the way of bringing them forward, it would appear, exist to a greater extent than Lcf e. The sales have been 1 chop ()inn, Ts. 191 ; and 1 chop Woonam, Ts. 22 ; scented caper, Ts. 16.18, and scented orange Pekoe, Ts. 20.28. The stock of congou consists of 3 chopl aboveinentioned, and 5 chops Woonam, out of condition. e on England, six months' sight bills, 4s. 9 d. ; on India, Corn paiiy's accepted paper, rs. 247 per $lOO. si:v.,2r, Ts. 2.2 preal. ; gold, $2l 60c. pdr tnel ;.Caridus Dollars, 22 per. cent. prem.

MANCHESTER, Nov. 28.—The low prices to which light 40-inch shirtings have declined, with a disposition manifested to make still further concessions, have in duced a disposition to operate ; and for descriptions suit able to India a fair amount of business has been done. A. moderate business has also been effected in lengcloths, but, the production having increased in consequence of manufacturers having given up the snake of other cloths in favour of these, there has been a slight reduction i n price. Some little increase of demand has also been experienced from the home trade at the reduced rates now prevailing, so that the aggregate business exceeds what we have had for some weeks past. In yarns the market has been very flat, especially for cop twist, which is lower in price, with a prospect of a still further de cline. These and some other classes of yarns are now fully id. below the rates demanded a fortnight ago ; and, though the depreciation of values in yarns is not so nearly on a level with the low rates of 1348, as in cloths, yet the advantage is at the expense of much less busi ness, the sales effected to-day by spinners being very limited in comparison with the business effected by manufacturers. Both yarns and cloths have continued to manifest increased weakness throughout the day. Messrs. John Stagg and Ce., giving a rather more un favourable account of the cloth-market, say,— " The reluctance on the part of buyers to operate, whlbh has existed for the last few weeks, has to-day been more strongly manifested, and the general tone of the market is decidedly against producers. This may be . attributed in some degree to the very favourable ac counts received regarding the cotton crop, and partly to the financial arrangements anticipated on the meeting of Parliament. India goods continue in much the same position as regards demand, but prices have again re ceded. Longcloths and T cloths are still under contract, and prices are consequently not affected by the falling off in the demand." L 8 woollen olstb-markets to-day have been Nov.N ful o. ly v as cheerful in tone as any during the pre sent month, but there has not been more than an average quantity of cloth sold. Indeed, the markets at this period of the year are rarely very brisk. The stooks on hand are within a moderate compass, and care is used to keep them so, all parties avoiding everything like excessive speculation. Some heavy goods, including 20,000 woollen rags in one o r d er , h ave j us t been made up here for the Government, who intend to send them to the army in the Crimea. Most of these rugs were made at Heekmotadaike—a village noted for its manufacture of blankets. These Government orders are found to be great boons in this district. The Isteds co rn-tnarket has been but thinly supplied with grain to-day, yet the second-rate qualities of wheat were ls. per quarter lower. The best wheat was about the same price as o n this day week. CHINA. We have received files of China papers to the 11th October inclusive. We take the following summary from the Overland Friend of China : Earthquake, hurricane, and war, three of man kind's greatest terrors, have all been experienced in this part of the world since the publication of our last overland summary. Of the earthquake, felt both in Hong Kong and Canton about the same time on Thursday, the 25th ultimo, we find no mark of the phenomenon on the earth's crust ; and can say no more of it than that several persons were made sicX by the convulsion. Of hurricanes we have reports of three which have been expe rienced in our vicinity within the last fortnight. The British ship Thomas Chadwick, and American ship Eliza Thornton, are the only total wrecks heard of ; if we except a large ship, water-logged, seen some seventy miles from Hong Kong two or three clays ago. Of war there is much to tell—war by those enemies of mankind the sea-going pirates, and war between the Patriots and ' the Tartar brood that infest the Chinese empire. But though there is much to tell of it, accounts are so mixed up with apparent falsehood that i 1 is imprudent to write out all wo hear. Especially is this remark applicable in connection - with reports from the northern provinces. The Shan g hai rebels, it is said, aro getting tired of waiting for the lung promised relief from Nanking. rr—_f._._.__—•------_ Of matters about Canton, speaking generally, A DnuoirrEn.
