INDIA AND CHINA. (From the Morning Ha ald.) We have received by express our papers and letters in anticipation of the Overland Mail from Calcutta. The dates are Calcutta, July 3 ; Madras, July 10 ; Bombay, July 3; Alexandria, August 8; and Malta, August 12. We have not any intelligence from China of later date than that brought by the last mail from Bombay. CALCUTTA, JULY a The lapse of three weeks since my last dispatch has not, I fear, enabled me to collect materials for a very interesting epistle on this occasion. We complain here of the barren ness of the English mails, which bring us little of exciting intelligence, except such as relates to the murders which are becoming so fLshionable among you. You, on the other hand, have some reason to retaliate in remarks upon the dullness of the Indian news market, which supplies nothing more interesting than vague speculations on the next out breaks among the Seikhs, and discussions on tariffs, anti. mis sionary movements and lawyers' bills, instead of announce ments of battles fought and victories won. A native paper reports a most horrible case of dacoity, or gang robbery, in a district near Calcutta. A band of dacoits attacked and entered the house of a Brahmin, whose family comprised an unusual number of women. These on the at tack retired to a room, locked themselves in, and from the inside parleyed with the robbers, offering them all their jewels and ornaments if they might be spared from insult or injury. The ruffians, however, broke into the room, and proceeded to divest the poor women of. their ornaments and clothes; and,, it is almost too monstrous for belief, when the ring or bangle from the arm or ancle did not come away easily, they cut off the limb. After mutilating ten or twelve women in this horrible manner, they retired with their booty. Some of their victims have died from their wounds, it is said. This tale may be true or it may be false ; it seems incredible, but who shall assign a limit to the barba rity of Indian robbers ! What would you English papers make of such an horror as this ? Here, even if the report be confirmed, a brief paragraph will be its only record. The estate of the rajah of Berhampore, who committed suicide last year, has lately been the subject of some sharp practice between the Court of Wards and the Ecclesiastical Registrar. The latter got hold of the property in Calcutta, and sent an auctioneer to Berhampore to dispose of the pro. petty there. The collector, acting as representative of the Court of Wards, threatened the auctioneers with imprison ment., &c.,if they appeared on the premises, so they were obliged to return to Calcutta without effecting the object of their mission. The Court of Wards then sent up other auctioneers who have sold the property, and as it is said very well too, but the Registrar threatens them with pains and penalties, from which however they are of course held harmless by the Court of Wards which em ployed them. The rajah's widow has given birth to a daughter, and by the provisions of the will the bulk of the property therefore goes to found a college at Berhampore. The widow, however, it is said, is about to bring forward another will, which if admitted, as however it is hardly likely to be, will alter the state of affairs considerably, by giving her the power to adopt an heir. A very annoying accident occurred near Calcutta lately. A fine suspension bridge, the longest, it is said, in India, just as it was completed, fell into the water. It was thrown over the Buloo Khal, a creek a few miles up the river. Letters have been received from the Punjaub, which state that the recent tranquillity has been broken by a battle, or skirmish, between Peshora Singh and the royal army, in which the former had the advantage, but did not follow it up. I have no recent news from China. _ . The English mail of the 7th May reached Calcutta on the 19th June, and the Precursor, with that of the 24th May, is in the river, but, being unable to go into the City to-day, I do not know if she is off town. BOMBAY, JULY 3. Very little news has transpired since my last. People usually keep quiet during the rainy season in India, and the country at present exhibits nought but the most gratifying and exemplary tranquillity. That terrible scourge, cholera, has made its appearance in almost every station in western India, and has not only committed serious ravages amongst the native community, but has cut off a good many Eu ropeans. In the Punjaub, Peshawur, &c., it has been fright fully prevalent, and at one time, in the city of Lahore alone, it was striking down five and six hundred daily : latterly the deaths are reported at fifty and sixty, and the total number that have fallen in the sickly capital and its environs since the first breaking out of the malady, is stated at between twenty and thirty thousand. The news from Sinde continues pacific and unexciting. Our troops continue healthy. There is no later news from China than that given in my last. (From the Times.) We :have received by our extraordinary express dis patches from India in anticipation of the bi-monthly mail. The quietness of the Punjaub appears to be the quiet ness of death. The Seikhs no longer mete out death to each other, but disease sweeps them off by thousands. The cholera, in its most malignant type, has been raging in Lahore and the neighbourhood, and it was calculated that the deaths averaged from 500 to 700 per day. At the date of the last accounts this dreadful disease was on the decline, after having carried off between 20,000 and 30,000 victims. • The last advices from Peshawur represent that city as almost deserted. Every one who had the means of re moving had left the city. The number of deaths in that place between the 30th of March and the 2d of May amounted to 4,825. In the midst of this direful affliction the state of par- ties had not changed very materially. In our last we stated that Prince Peshora Singh had taken possession of two or three provinces, the revenues of which he in tended to apply to his own use. It is now said, that the treasure sent tcwards'-Peshawur by the Sirdar, amount ing to nearly six lacs kupees, had also fallen into the hands of Peshora Singh, who had surprised the escort. The greater part of the troops, it is now said, are in favour of Peshora Singh, their good-will having been ob tained by the intrigues, or rather purchased by the gold, of Ghoolab Singh. The Raja Goolerwallah Singh, the father-in-law of the late Raja Heera Singh, who had been at Lahore for same time settling his account with the Sirdar, was sud denly attacked with cholera, and died shortly after. The Sirdar Jowahir Singh, having heard of his death, sent immediately to seize a horse and some other property that the Raja had disposed of in charity in his last moments. The Wuzeer Jowahir Singh is, in the mean time, becoming daily more unpopular, and it is said Peshora Singh aspires to the office of Wuzeer. Public attention has been much excited by the expo• sure of certain alleged malpractices in the Supreme Court of Madras, where the Master, who is also the taxing-officer, has been, it is said, long in the practice of taking illegal fees, and allowing them to be charged by the attorneys. It is represented that in one ease where he had permitted the attorney to charge illegal fees to the amount of 1,600 rupees (160/. sterling), he had charged for himself 3,000 rupees, or 300/. Not withstanding an able defence made by the Counsel on behalf of Mr. Minchin, the Master, the Court pro nounced him guilty of the charge, and deprived him of his office. In defence of Mr. Minchin, it is said that, at the request of Sir Robert Comp], he resigned a lucrative practice at the Madras bar to become the Master of the Court, on the express understanding that the emoluments of the office averaged about 42.000 rupees per annum ; that these emoluments arose from a table of fees established in 1801, and partly from others sanctioned from time to time by the different Masters for business, but provided for by the table, and tacitly allowed by successive judges. No new fee, it is said, has been introduced for the last fourteen years, or by Mr. Minchin during his period of office; and it is alleged that the Chief Justice, or his colleague for the time being, having affixed their signatures to several hundred bills of costs, containing all those fees which arc now said to be illegal, and without which signature tho,e fees could not be demanded. Mr. Minchin is ex pected to arrive by the present mail, in order to appeal, it is sail, against the decision of the Madras judges. In Ceylon the cultivation of the tea plant had been commenced, and great expectations were entertained of the result of the experiments. According to other opi nions, although the tea plant will grow within the tropics, and maintain a flourishing appearance, the leaf is said to be totally destitute of flavour, and therefore useless. The important subject of railroads has not escaped discussion. The Calcutt / Englishman contends that the London scheme for obtaining a Government guarantee of a certain amount of dividend to a company can be of no public advantage, and that a line connecting Calcutta with the great markets and thoroughfare of the north west provinces is the line that must be supported. We regret to add, that that dreadful scourge, the cholera, had reached the banks of the Sutlej and made its appearance at Ferozepore, though not in our canton ments. The mortality amongst the officers of the Madras army has been greater than any remembered for many years past. The Bombay cavalry have memorialised the Court of Directors on the subject of granting an additional captain, and we are happy to find that the memorial has been intrusted to Alsjor-General Archibald 'Watson. An important order has also been issued by the Governor-General for remedying the inconveniences resulting from the present mode of allowing young officers to join their regiments. We are happy to find this subject has at length attracted the attention of G overnment. The steamer Precursor, with the mail to the 24th of May, anchored in Madras roads on the 28th of June, thus affording intelligence from England in the unusually short spice of 35 days. The British frigates Thunderer and Conway had been dispatched from the Mauritius on the 7th of June to the island of Mad ►gascar, to protect the European in habitants, who had been ordered by the Queen to become naturalized, or quit the country. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Calcutta Englishman of July 2. ) Considerable dullness has been observable in business gene rally since our last issue of the 9th ult., but•still in no single staple, either of import or export, have we any important change to notice as regards prices. The Government express of the mail, via Bombay, came in on the 19th ult., and put us in receipt of London dates to the 7th of May. The accounts of the home n arketa for East India produce were again unfa vourable ; ard, although the lowness of stocks still enables hol ders here in most instances to maintain former rates, there has been but little anxiety shown t o p urc h a se, and transactions have been on a very moderate scale. The long looked-for improvement in the demand for im ports has not as yet been manifested in the slightest degree, although the rivers are now nav i ga bl e , an d produce is arriving freely ; this is probably caused by the attention of the dealers being still occupied with opium speculations, and by the large sums of money required for that purpose, and, as the sum that will be required during the present month to effect the clear ance of that purchased on the 30th ult. is no less than 7,000,000 Company's rupees, we see no prospect of money being more aLuudant at present, althou g h, f rom t hi s b e i ng the last Govern ment sale of the season, it i s p ro b a bl e t h e d ea le r s may now re turn to their legitimate business. Exchange has again advanced about a farthing, but at this a large amount of operations have been effected, and first-rate paper is in request. Our river is still well supplied with ship ping, and freight is procurable on about the same terms as at the date of our last. Indigo—Our late accounts from the interior are not so flou rishing as those previously received, particularly from the east ward ( rurrcedpore, Dacca, Mymunsingh), where they have experienced very heavy rain and a sudden rise of the rivers, which have done them a great deal of harm—in fact, so much so, as to reduce their prospects to two-thirds of what th ey . pre • vionsly calculated on ; it also appears that the rain has injured the plant considerably in Rungpore, as well as in Jessore and Rajeshaye, and should the weather experienced in Calcutta during the past two or three days have extended to those dis tricts, we shall doubtless shortly hear of further complaints. On the whole, however, we cannot say that the general accounts are very bad, as a few days of fine wea ther would counteract the damage done le many parts, and we are aware that rain was much wanted in others, as Nuddea, Alaldah, Purneah, and Bhaugulpore, where the manufacture is progressing splendidly : from ' . .firhoot our as counts are rather favourabl e as compare d w ith tho s e of last month ; the western provin ces are lik ew i se prom i s ing well, pro vide(' they have early rain s , an d we h ope to h em in a few days of their having regula r ly se t in there ; in which case they will cut a splendid koontie, with a pro b a bili ty o f a goo d no wdah. We, however, hear a very general complaint of the fine plant they are cutting not yielding so good produce as was looked for, and many parties will find their out-turn fall short of what they cal culated on from the quantity and general appearance of the crop; this deficiency, however, is to be attributed more to the coolness of the nights than to the quality of the plant, and with fine weather will improve. It is still quite impossible to say anything about the quantity likely to he produced, as everything depends en the weather experienced throughout the manufacturing season, but we can confidently say that there is plant enough on the ground to yield a full average out-turn. Exports from the Ist of November, 1814, to the 30th of July, 1845 : Chests. Fy. To Great Britain 25,731 95,374 France 10,362 36,192 North America Red Sea, Bombay, and Gulfs 1,957 6,314 Foreign Europe ••• 12 48 All other parts 9 21 Total 38,707 140,172 Sugar—At the date of our last the low state of the rivers had only allowed of small parcels coming to hand, and these consisted principally of good to fine qualities, which fouled a ready sale ; since then, however, arrivals have been more f'see, and, except for th e ver y finest descriptions, there has been but little demand ; so that, although we cannot as yet quote arq material decline, the tendency is decidedly downwards. With , low sugars the market is still very moderately supplied, and prices are almost nominal. For Khaur the inquiry has fallen off, and transactions have been very limited. Exports to Great Britain in June amounted to 150,378 maunds. . Saltpetre—There is still a fair demand for this staple, and although there is not at present much doing for Great Britain, the scarcity of some descriptions and the demand for America keep up prices. For France we do not hear of any purchases, but small ship ments have gone forward to China. Exports in June were as follows, viz. i —To Great Britain, 24,832 maunds ; to North America, 8,007 maiinds. Raw Silk—This market continues very quiet, the large holders being still disinclined to submit to any decline, without which it is impossible that any general demand can be expe rienced, but as the unsold portion of the last build is still very considerable, and the produce of the rainy bund will be coming to hand in about a month, we think considerable more anxiety to realise will shortly be manifested, in which case a material decline appears inevitable. The sales since our last have con sisted almost entirely of small parcels, which have been taken at a shade under former rates. Exports to Great Britain in June amounted to 1 ,338 mds. Silk Piece Goods—Our market continues well supplied with Corahs of low quality, but for these there is no inquiry, and tkey are difficult of sale except at a considerable decline ; the few parcels of first quality cloths, however, which have come to hand have found purchasers at nearly former rates. Choppas and Bandannas go forward on manufactures' account with the exception of small parcels of Radnagore, which are at times obtainable in this market. Exports to Great Britain in June were as follows :—Corahs, 57,246 pieces; Choppas and Bandannas, 4,795 pieces. I-lice—The demand for table has continued moderate, and purchases have been far from heavy, m ithout alteration in price. Moonghy and Ballam have been taken to some extent for Mauritius and Bourbon, at Ir. Ba. to Ir. 10a. 6p. per maund. Exports in June were as follows, viz.:— To Great Britain To Mauritius .. Oil Seeds—The Americans continue the only purchasers of linseed, and are still takirg off large quantities, at from 2r. 2a. to 2r. 6a. per maund, according to quality. Mustard seed is in request for Great Britain, at former rates, but we are not aware of many purchases. Rum—This article is but litte inquired for, nor are we aware of a single purchase; quotations are, therefore, still nominal. Exports to Great Britain in June amounted to 49,351 gallons. Shell Lac and Lac Dye—For shell lac there is at present but little inquiry for any part, and sales can only be effected at a decline. This, however, the holders of European manufacture will not submit to, and transactions are therefore confined to a few purchasers of low quality. Lac dye continues in demand and scarce, except native marks, which are not much wanted, and offering at about former rates. Jute—The native holders still keep up the price of this staple by shipping, and we seldom hear of sales to any extent in this market. Exports to Great Britain continue heavy, and in June amounted to 27,94 . 5 maund s . Safflower, Munieet, Ginger, and Turmeric—A large busi ness continues to be done in safflower, without any material alteration in price for good quality, although common sorts are getting less inquired for ; shipments have been going forward very freely, and we should say considerably more than half the crop has already been disposed of. In Munjeet we are not aware of any transactions. Ginger continues in moderate request for Great Britain and America, but for neither are we aware of any extensive purchases. Turmei is is not at present wanted, but a few parcels have been taken for Great Britain at about 2r. per maund. Cowries, and Cutch—U nder th i s head we h ave not a singlesal T et i o nc report since our last. Cowries are, however, in moderate demand for Great Britain, and in prices we have no alteration to notice. Cotton—This staple continues to command but little atten tion, and shipments to Chin a are to a very moderate extent , being from Ist inst. up to date only 561 maunds. Opium—Prices commenced declining gradually shortly forged passes, and it was thought th e G overnmen t sa l e , held on t a h ft e e r 3 o t the date of ult., w our oul d last, have establi s h e d a further fall ; but, in consequ en ce of the discovery of t .wing to its being the last o f t h e season, this did not ta k e p l ace , the ruling throughout being much the same as in the bazaar previously. The stock now in the Company's godown consists of 6,976 chests Patna, and 2,563 chests Benares. Hides, Horns, and Tips—Hides continue in very moderate demand, but sales neverth e l ess are to a fair extent, pr i nc i pa ll y for the English market, and prices are much the same as last month. In buffalo horns there is not much doing, but, al though they are rather difficult of sale, prices are main tained. In deer horns and tips we are not aware of a single transaction. _ about is I 13d to Is II id per rupee, but there have neverthe less been large operations at Is I lid. MONEY-SIARKET. Notwithstanding the large sums of money which have of late been taken out of the market by the opium sales, and the knowledge that upwards of 7,000,000 Company's rupees will be required in the course of the present month to clear the pur chases made on the 30th ult., we still find Government securi ties maintain their rates ; and in fact the tendency is at present rather in favour of further improvement. lh Bank Stock we do not hear of many operations, but shares continue at a high pre mium.

St a,—The weather at last has taken a favourable turn, and is likely to remain so during the meeting at York ; the course is very heavy, and consequently very trying to the three year-olds, who are not likely to have it so much their own way as at Goodwood. The Coventry Cup will produce an exciting race, for which about. Line are expected to contend—viz., Inheritress, Arundo, Winesour, The Libel, Merry Andrew, Little Hamp ton, Young England, and perhaps Coheiress and The Sha dow; the latter two are not very likely to go for it, which, if they did, I should most unhesitatingly name The Shadow for the winner; but as it is, I fancy Inheritress will do the trick, with Merry Andrew playing second fiddle. The Members' Plate of 100 sovs., or thereabouts, will go into Mr. Med:hail's pocket with Philip. Should The Shadow start for this stake it will be one of the best races this meet ing will be able to boast of. The Knavesmuir Stakes of 100 sovs. each, seems to me to be very much like a walk over for Red Robin. The match between Spur and Malt will be won by the former. blalt will receive forfeit from the Mrs. Fry filly. The match between the b f by Phcenix and Brunnette will be won by the latter. The Great Yorkshire Stakes. for three-year-olds, will, in all probability, show off to great disadvantage some of the St. Leger animals. The field will probably consist of ten or a dozen ; among others the following will make their appear ance—viz., Miss Sarah, Miss Elis, Hope, Jinglepot, Annan dale, and Fitzallen. Miss Sarah will doubtless run very for ward, but I do not think she will catch the judge's eye first. Miss Elis had such a dressing at Goodwood that I think her chance is entirely out. Hope and Fitzallen will find the course too heavy for their enduring qualities. Annandale is a strong animal, well suited to such a course; I expect to see him put the 50!. allowed to the second horse in his masters' pccket. Jinglepot, by Physician, out of Gazelle, is the wheal I shall select for the winner of this stake,never doubt ing for a moment his superior strength and swiftness. I shall not be surprised to see Jinglepot first, Annandale second, and Hope, or Miss Sarah, third. This race will de- cide the respective merits of Annandale and Miss Sarah, and either confirm them in the betting, or send them out alto gether.—l am, Sir.,yours, &c., Aug. 21. THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. Sir James Emerson Tennent arrived this morning, for the purpose of being present at the dinner and presentation of a piece of place to Mr. Hartley, on Wednesday next. Dwarkanauth Tagore, the prince merchant of India, whose appearance in London lately produced such a sensation at Court and fashionable circles, has signified his intention of being here to-morrow, to join in the public tribute to one who has been so mainly instrumental and so eminently successful in esta blishing the Oriental Steam Navigation Company, which has conferred so many benefits and advantages upon the East.

BELFAST ELECTION. — The Pilot states that the requisition of the repeal electors of Belfast, to Mr. Daniel O'Connell, jun., has arrived in Dublin. The on dit in town on yesterday was, that the Orangemen were about to call upon Commodore Watson to become a candidate for the representa tion of Belfast, in opposition to Lord A. Chichester, a supporter of the Government of Sir R. Peel.—Freeman's Journal. THE LATE 13ENJAMIN W T ooD, EsQ., M.P.—The remains of this lamented gentleman were removed yesterday forenoon for interment from Eltham Ledge, Kent, to Cussing, Essex. According to the prevailing custom, the ceremony was a private one, and the attendants merely comprised the imme. diate relations and friends of the deceased. 13 - OAIBAY. SATURDAY, JUNE 28.—Scarcely any business has been done in imports during the week. We hear of no transactions in cotton piece goods, yarns, or woollens. Brazier's copper has been sold to the extent of 700 cwt., at 26 rupees ler cwt., being an advance of nearly 2 rupees per cwt. upon previous sales. The cotton-market is firm, and :Surat has been pur chased at 81 rupees per candy to the extent of 500 bales. Freights are on the decline, our quotations being 3/. bs. per ton both to London and Liverpool, and 14 rupees to 14i per candy to China. Exchange on London at six months is at Is. 10id. to Is. 101 d. ; and at thirty days, Is. 91d. to Is. 10(1. On Calcutta, at sixty days, 4 annas discount, and at sight 3 4 premium. On Madras, at sight, par.—Bombay Times, June 28. Cotton—The extent of business transacted since our last has been very moderate. Z.- hortly after the departure of the mail on the '2oth ult. prices gave way considerably, but stocks being now warehoused for the rains they have again rallied. 87 rupees per candy is now asked for Jumhooseer, 341 rupees for Broach and Surat, 82 rupees for Oomrawuttz, 79 tupees for Dollera, and 73 rupees for Compta. We have heard of a pur chase of 250 candies of the latter at 72 rupees. Coffee—We quote Mocha at 8 rupees, and Malabar at 6 rupees per maund, but have heard of no transactions. Gums—Animi and Arabic are both lower than last month, the former considerably to. Opium—This drug has risen from 1,400 rupees, our last quo tation, to 1,425 to 1,450 rupees per chest. Wool—We hear of no transactions, and retain last month's prices. Freights—The shipping arrivals have been very numerous since our last, and this increase in the amount of available tonnage has occasioned a decline latterly in the rates of freight both to London and Liverpool. Our last quotation was 4/. ss. to London, and 31. 17s. 6d. to 41. to Liverpool ; we may now quote 31. 12s. 63. to 31. 15s. to both place. Freight to the Clyde has been engaged at 31. 15s. The rate to China is 17 to 18 rupees per candy of cotton. MONEY MARKET. Subjoined are the present rates of the different Government Securities . 5 per Cent.

Camphor—Some small purchases are in progress for ship ment to India, at about 20i dollars per picul. Silk —We have no change in prices to notice, nor have any transactions o' moment come to our knowledge. Sugar—The market is quiet, and nothing doing. Sugar Candy—We hear of about 2,000 tubs having been secured on Indian account at our quotations. Teas, black—The transactions of the week have been on a limited scale, comprising only three or four chops of common Congous. Rates are maintained. Green—There have been some small parcels of Canton made teas offered for sale, but no purchases have, as far as we are aware, been made. FREIGHTS. To London and Liverpool, 41. per ton of 50 cubic feet, but not plentiful. To out-ports, 10s. per ton additional. To Calcutta and Madras—Very scarce ; for the latter port no ship is loading.

Bethel Nut—There have been no fresh arrivals, and the stock is consequently still entirely in second hands. We hear of no sales by the dealers. Prices are unaltered. Camlets—Our quotations are nominal, there not being the slightest demand for these goods. The arrival of the Anne Jane has added upwards of 1,500 pieces to the already exces sive supply. Chintves—Nominal, no inquiry. Cochineal—Nothing doing. Cotton—Rates have not improved, but the market for Bengal staple is rather firmer. We do not, however, hear of any transactions in this description of cotton. About 3,000 bales of Bombay and 600 bales of Madras have changed hands during the past week. Cotton Yarn--Prices remain the same as before ; almost nominally so, however, as nothing is doing. Elephants' Teeth—We hear of one small sale of the first quality, at 85 dollars per picul. Fish-maws and Shark-fins—None of the recent arrivals have yet been disposed of. Longcloths—No transactions are reported in whites, which are still depressed. About 5,000 pieces of grays have changed hands, the greater portion being of inferior quality. Long Ells—There is at present little inquiry for these goods, and rates are low. About 800 pieces assorted have been placed during the past week at 7.15 dollars per piece. Opium—The market is somewhat firmer than last week, but prices remain much the same. Rattans—Have given way still further, 2.10 dollars per picul having been accepted for a parcel of 1,900. Rice—We have no sales to notice. The market continues firm, and the dry weather we now have will probably tend to maintain prices. Sandalwood—The stock en hand is moderate, but the de mand is equally so, ard rates do not advance. Tin Plates—Have improved somewhat, 400 bozos having lately been moved off at 7.30 dollars per box. Woollens—We hear of the sale of 500 pieces of Spanish stripes at prices within our quotations. The market is very languid, and rates will probably go still lower. THE BRAZIL MAIL. FALMOUTH, AUGUST 20.—The packet Express, Lieutenant Herrick commander, has arrived he re this morning with the Brazil mails, bringing dates from Rio de Janeiro t.. the 27th June, Bahia Bth ult., and Pernambuco the 14th.

Periera de Al meida Torres, Prime Minister ; A. P. Limpo'.de Abreu, Minister and Justice for Foreign Affairs F. de P. H. Cavalcante de Albuquerque, Minister of War and Marine. The Chambers were still sitting, but there had been a great deal of angry feeling existing between the Upper and L ower Houses, on account of the former refusing a Bill passed by the latter, but matters had been settled, and the business was pro ceeding more amicably. Coffee and sugar sales very dull. The Imperial Family enjoyed good health, a n d i t was ru • moured that the Empress is enceinte. British ships of war in harbour—Brig' G rec i an , pac k et Petrel, arid yacht Gauntlet. French ships of war—Frigate La Charte from Otaheite, frigate Atalante from Monte Video, corve tte L'Egerie from Tculon, bound to Bourbo n ; a l so t h e corvette Loise, for the same destination. RIVER Pr.ATE.—The dates are to the 31st of May from Monte Video. The British and French Plenipotentiaries had obtained interviews with Rosas, and it was hoped that matters would be arrangedby treaty, pre serv i ng t h e i ndependence of Monte Video, which would be taken under the protection of the British and French. It was said that the Plenipotentiaries were determined, either by argument or force, to settle the question with Rosas. The Monte Videans complied with every proposal made to them. Riveira was still at Rie de Janeiro. BAIIJA.—The barque Mathesis, Captain Gordon, had put into this port with her cargo of coals heated, bound to Aden, and also to land some Dutch sailors which Captain Gordon had taken off the island of St. Paul's, belonging to the Jan lien drik, of Rotterdam, wrecked there.

IMPORTS FROM EUROPE. - --- - British Cotton Piece Goods —The dealers have continued to absent themselves from the market, their time as well as funds being at present occupied almost exclusively with opium. The last few days have brought somewhat more favourable accounts from Mirsapore, where rain had fallen, and it is pro bable that as produce arrives they will be enabled to operate more freely, the stocks in all the up-country marts being much reduced. Shillings have changed ha n d s to a moderate extent , an d th e tendency has been in favou r o f the buyer. Jaconots continue in fair inquiry, more especially the me dium qualities of bleached cloths. In lappets and lappet scarfs but little has been done, and at somewhat under :former rates. 11Iulls and book muslins continue in very limited inquiry. Coloured and Printed Goods —Printed goods have been in better demand, and a fair amount of sales are reported, but without improvement in price. In Turkey red cloths we have no change to notice, b ot h tw ill and plain continuing in moderate inquiry at former rates. Imports of all kinds in June amounted to 682 packages. Woollens—We have no demand to notice for these goods, which continue neglected even at the low rates which holders would accept. Imports of all kinds in June amounted to 102 bales. White Mule Twist—Yarn has continued dull of sale through out the past three weeks, with the exception of Nos. 20 and 30, which have been inquired for, and brought a slight ad vance ; other counts have been purchased on rather easier terms, but still to a very moderate extent. Imports in June were 1,502 bales, 738,8101b5. Coloured Yarn—The only transact ions w e h ave heard of lately under this head have been of 'turkey red, German dye, at Jr. 10a. 9p. and British at lr. B a. 2p. per lb. Imports in lune were as follows, viz.: —Red, 84 bales, or 32,h001b5.; Orange, 30 bales, or 12,0001b5. Copper—About the middle of last month a demand sprang up, and sales to a moderate extent were effected at a slight advance on brazier's and tile; this has, however, again fallen off, and, though former rates are maintained, there is but little doing. Imports in June were as follows, viz. :—Tile and ingot, ' 1,238 maunds ; sheet and plate, 1,995 maunds ; nails, 116 maunds ; brazier's, 139 maunds. Iron—This metal continues entirely neglected by the dealers, who either have not as yet re ceive d any up -country orders, or cannot execute them, as they do not appear to i n t eres t them selves in the market. we T h h a e v equantity t e actually comm o s n ol b d ar sinceourrather lower.las Imports in June were as follows , viz.t i s unimport an t, a nd Bar, bolt, and rod, 16,626 maunds; hoop, 1,102 maunds; sheet, 1,253 maunds; Swedish, 2,548 maunds ; pig, 3,675 maunds ; nails, 61 maunds. Spelter—Tho demand for this metal has again fallen off, and it is difficult of sale at the prices current on the 9th ultimo, few parties, are, however, willing to submit to any decline, and we therefore hear of but few transactions. Imports in June amounted to 2,089 maunds. Lead and Tin Plates—ln lead the only sale we have heard of lately is a small one of pig, stamped at 6.3 aicca rupees. Tin plates maintain former quotations, hut we have not heard of any transactions. Imports in June were as follows, viz.: —S h eet, 49 maunds ; tin plates; 100 boxes. Beer—The heavy imports have again led to a further decline in prices, and inferior brands have now b ecome a perfect drug in the market. Bass's has been currently sold as low as 50r. per hhtl., but we have heard of no sale of A Ilsop's under 60r. ; and, as we understand none of the latter's March brewings will be sent out this year, the supply will be so much reduced that the present relative difference between the value of their brand and that of any other brewers is likely to he maintained throughout the season. Exchange —The number of China and local bills offering immediately after the dispatch of the last mail, when parties were unprepared to operate for the present opportunity, caused the rate to advance a farthing, and this has since been main tained, notwithstanding that transactions have been rather ex tensive; the bulk of the business has, we think, been done at RELATIVE CLOSING PRICES OF RAILWAY SHARES IN THE PRINCIPAL CITIES /0 SCOTLAND, cD TOWNS IN ENGLAND, AND IRELAND.

VISIT TO MAYENCE, SUNDAY, Auc. 17. The Queen and the Prince are taking a day's rest here, after the almost incessant locomotion and excitement of the last week. To-morrow morning they start at 7 o'clock for Vurzburg, where it, is expected they will arrive at about 8 o'clock in the evening. They will go to the palace of the King of Bavaria, where they ►•ill remain for the night, and early the next day they go to Coburg, which, after another tediousday's journey, they are to reach on Tuesday evening. Her Majesty attends Divine service this afternoon at the English church, where service will be performed by the Rev. Mr. Dunnage, the English chaplain. In the evening the royal party dine again with Prince William of Prussia, at the Government-house. There is very little stir in Alayence to-day. A few people stand around the Hotel de L'Europe, staring at the sentinels on duty, and hoping to catch a glimpse of the Queen, and there have been one or two arrivals, among them the Grand Duke of Hesse Darmstadt, who at once proceeded to visit her Majesty at her hotel. In other respects the town of Ma) ence is as quiet as so pretty and populous a place can be. But the ordinary habits of the people are these of an English holiday. They are to be seen, as in most German towns, strolling about the streets, on the quays, and especially on the bridge of brats, as gay and as idle as if life were made for pleasure alone. Yet there are Froofs enough that the population are not idle. The shops are not very inferior to those in the largest cities, and the buildings are on a magnificent scale. The new fortifications, too, which are now building along the left bank of the Rhine, are very fine specimens of workmanship. An additional air of gaiety is given to the streets by the presence of the Austrian and Prussian troops, whose glittering uniforms of mingled while and blue mix prettily enough with the general costumes of the people. One thing strikes a stran ger in Mayence—the excessive cleanliness of the town. Anything more beautifully white and pure cannot be con ceived. The houses, the pavement, all seem as if they had been specially prepared fir the occasion. It reminds one of some of our best English watering-places. Mayence, too, is full of associations ; but the chief interest to strangers consists in its being the birthplace of Guttemberg, Thor waldsen's statue of whom is erected in a conspicuous place in the city. The following speech, delivered by the King of Prussia, in proposing the health of her Majesty after dinner at. Brfilil on Tuesday, the 12th instant, will be interesting to the reader ; but, in order to enable him fully to under stand the sentiment conv.yed in it, it may be mentioned that it was formerly the custom of the German armies, after having won a battle, to lire, on the very field of battle, a round of all. the artillery as a proclamation of victory. his was called " Victoria Schiesseu." The customilias grown into desuetude, but the term remains, and the word " Victoria" is, therefore, in the Gelman language, and poetry especially, consecrated to victory, and associated with the idea of a song of triumph after battle. Indeed, the word is only used in Germany in this sense, except as the name of the Goddess of Victory. The object of the King in wording the toast as he did, was to pay Wdelicate compliment to the Queen of England, and the ori ginal, of which the following is a translation (by a German, let it he observed), is considered to have effected that ob ject. It is also a very excellent specimen of good racy Ger , man diction : • Gentlemen, fill your glasses to ithe brim ! There is a word which inspires with ucspeakable delight every British and German heart. That word resounded once over a field of battle, after a tierce struggle, as the symbol of a brother . . hood in which had been blessed with sucet as. This day that word rescunds, after 30 years of peace, that happy fruit of the arduous work of those days, 1 , are in the (;ermarc lands, on the banks of the beautiful stream of the Rhine— that word is Victoria r "Gentlemen, take your glasses, and empty them to the last drop 'lke object of the toast is, her Majesty, the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland. Long live Queen Vic toria and her most illustrious Consort !'" Among those who dined with the royal party while with the King of Prussia, was the celebrated Baron Humboldt. Baron Bulow was to have been present also, but was pre vented by very serious indisposition. The route of her Majesty from the time she leaves the Rhine will be through a country where, in consequence of the peculiar dislike of the German people to anything like rapidity of communication, there wt•ill be considerable MI • culty in sending early intelligence. It is more than probable, therefore, that some two or three days may elapse after the present publication before any account can be received 14 London of her Majesty's further movements. COURT CIRCULAR. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal, ac...ompanied by the Dowager Lady Lytttlton, were t,ken a drive in a carriage and four t‘i the vicinity of New Tot t on Wednesday afternoon, anti their Royal Highnesses Prince Alfred and the Princess; Alice were taken on ponies in the pleasure-grounds of Osborne Horse. In the forenoon the Royal Family had been taken aiiings on the beach and pleasure grounds.. On Tuesday afternoon the Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred, the Princess Royal, and the Princ-ss Alice went in a carriage to the beach. His Royal llighnei;s the Duke of Cambri.ige left town yesterday afternoon for Richm , ,nd Park. Dispatches from the Governor of Jamaica, and also from the Governors of the other West India colonies, were received yesterday at the Colonial -office. STATISTICs OF THE POSTAL SERVICE OF RUSSIA. (From the Constitutionnel. The receipts of the, Post-office department in Rusfie amounted in 1843 to 16,000,000 f., being about 1,000,00 et more than in 1842. The expenses amounted to about 7,000,000 f., so that the net. produce was 9,000,0001. From the Ist July, 1843, to the Ist July, 1844, the number of private letters dispatched from all the post-offices of Russia amounted to 9,249,000, being 600,000 more than in the preceding twelve months. In these dispatches were included 7,221,000 letters. 1,812,000 letters remitting money, and 216,000 packets. The facility with which the Post-office undertakes the conveyance of money is the consequence, in a certain degree, of the want al banks or other houses of credit. In 1843, the amount of ninny in metallics transmitted through the post was 1,000,000, In 1823, these remittances amounted to only 600,000,0001. The amount sent in 1844 is not yet ascertained, but during the first eight months there was an increase of 20 per cent. Atthe St. Petershurgh office only the mass amounted to 260,000,000 t. The Government money in these remittances amounted to 650,000,000 f. in the gross amount of 1843, leaving 350,000,000 f. sent from private individuals. In these sues bank-notes and commercial bills and notes are not compri.ed. It is thus seen that the Post-office in Russia brings in about one-third of the same service in France, and that the circnk• tion of letters is comparatively to that of this country not more than one-tenth, and consequently that it is the transmission of money that forms in Russia a large portion of the receipts. If, however, there be taken into account the great distances be• tween the towns, the paucity of the population, and the insuli. ciency of the modes of communication, it will be found that the postal service in Russia is not badly organised, and that it is ist general adequate to the wants of the people. In certain three. tions, it is true, it is more particularly instituted to meet the necessity of the Government, but trade and commerce do not fail to profit by it, and itaking all things into consideration, the means of circulation answer private as well as public interests. 't TIDE MARYLEBONE CLUB AND GROUND V. THE WEST ITERTs CLUB.—This match was not commenced until Friday, nor concluded before a late hour on Saturday. Marylebone were in a minority of 44 runs DARING ATTFMET AT HIGHWAY ROTIBERY.-15 Mr. Raynor, of Walthamstow, was walking along the road between the Infant Orphan Asylum and Whip's-cross, o Tuesday evening, about half-past eight, he was suddenly tem tested by a man presenting a pistol at him, demanding his money ; but Mr. R. making sense resistance with his tua. brella, and at the same time calling loudly for the police, the fellow ran off into the stood. The horse-patrol coming upsgant after, made diligent search, but did not succeed in apprehend• ing the offender. WAR STEAMER FOR THE EAST INDIA COMPANY. —There is now building in the docky ar d o f M r . Fl e t c h er , et Limehouse, a fine war steare.vessel of 1,440 tons burden, be the East India Company's service, and she is constructing undue the immediate superintendence of Mr. Fletcher, junior, a pupa of Al r. Oliver Lang, of the Woolwich dockyard, whose exceb. lent system of ship-building Mr. Fletcher, junior, has adopted and carried out to the fullest extent in this powerful war. steamer for the East India Company. Some idea may 118 formed of the strength of this vessel, when she requires a pad• dle-beam of tit les t 9 inches its length, and 2 feet 2 in ch by 21 inches in breadth throughout. The difficulty of ob. taining trees of those dimensions for the beams has boon completely obviated by the application of Jeffcrey's marine On to four separate pieces; and by a new discovery in the appliog. Lion of that material, the adhesion has been effected in a ooki insteadah with of a hotmost state, perfect bY u tabs s applicatio n ccess of fpressure by cramps. d the the joined pieces at timber, from the crossing , of the grain of the respectiVit pieces, being evidently stronger than beams formed of ant piece.
