Bengal camp equipage, at present attached to Prince Albert's Light Infantry, will be left at Sukkur for the use of the 78th Highlanders. From this it is to be sup posed that the 13th will embark almost immediately on • arrival at Kurrachee for England, as it is hardly pro bable that Sir C. Napier would keep two Queen's regi ments there, particularly as there are only barracks for one corps." A private of the 13th Queen's has been tried for at tempting the life of a non-commissioned officer. Lieut. Becher's court-martial is put off for six months, there being some " hitch" in the indictment. There is no particular amount of sickness at Sukkur among the Europeans, and the weather is described as delightful ; no tatties, and punkahs only required at midday. The mornings and evenings are even cold. Sickness has somewhat increased among the natives, but not more so than is usually the case all over India at this season. Dr. Robertson's efforts for the welfare of the Europeans are spoken of with great praise, and it is said by our correspondent that his loss will be severely felt ; his plan of arresting the Sinde fever has been most successful. From Hyderabad we have advices to the 26th, and learn by these that both wings of the 86th were attacked by fever immediately after crossing the river to Kotree, and had to send to Hyderabad for additional sick car riage. The first wing was successful in getting camels with kajawas, but none could be got for the second half of the regiment, and many of the doolee-bearers had de serted. The 2d Light Cavalry (Bombay) had received a hint that they might be required at Sukkur shortly. AFFGHANISTAN. We have received letters from Caubul to the 16th July. No news had reached there for some time from Herat, which had caused much anxiety to the Vakeel of Yar Mahommed, who again pressed the matter of a second matrimonial alliance upon Dost Mahomed, which the latter required time to consider. Shere Mahomed had written to the Ameer from Sinde to beg either his assist ance, for which he offered to pay, or his mediation with the British. He was told in reply that the expedition to Bulkh would prevent the Ameer from affording assist ance, and that he had no means of communicating with the British. Letters from Bameean having announced the approach of the Usbeks towards that place, Dost Mahomed set himself to the task of resisting the aggres sion, and ordered off the troops of Mr. Campbell ; but a hitch still occurred in regard to arrears. The chief command was, it appears, to be given to Mahomed Ufzul Khan. An active and friendly correspondence is going on between Heerah Singh and the Dost.—Della Gazette, Aug. 7. Aukram Khan, who had been dispatched with forces against the Tartars at Bulkh, was met by the enemy at the Stone Fort, when a fierce and bloody contest ensued, in which Übdassamad, general of the Tartars, by de ceiving his opponents into a hot pursuit, surprised their rear in its disordered state, by an ambuscade, which, by previous stratagem, had been prepared at a certain spot. For the time there was great havoc among the confused ranks of the Affghans; but the seasonable reinforcement to the troops of the latter by the arrival of Akbar Khan changed the direction of the victory, the Tartars, unable to make head against the cavalry of the enemy, flying pell-mell, and eagerly pursued to the distance of 18 miles by the victorious Affghans. Notwithstanding this de feat, the courage of the Tartars is said to be in nowise damped, and they yet entertain hopes of mastering their conquerors. Nean Übdool Rahman, who had sought refuge in the territory of Thaiza Sin g h f rom the dread of the Dost, to-day arrived with his family and pro perty at Caubul, being sent hither by Thaiza Singh, in obedience to a letter addressed him on the subject of the arrest of the traitor by Dost Mahomed, the former per sonage offering a promise of similar services to the latter whenever opportunities should occur. Sadut Khan has raised a rebellion against Dost 'Mahomed, and contrived to gain to his side 15,000 cavalry and 3,000 foot frern among the formidable mountain tribes ; but this insur rection seems to have produced no effect on the Dost.— Bengal Hurkara, Aug. 31. NEWS FROM CAUBUL, AUG. 2.—To-day came on an engagement between Akbar Khan and Aubdool Sum mund. It was a hard-fought battle, in which, after a display of great valour and skill on either side, which often turned the issue of the contest, the former came off victorious, capturing, aniong his prisoners, the two Ge nerals of the enemy. The loss on the side of the people Caubul is estimated at 3,000, while on that of the enemy it is said to amount to 5,000, besides the prisoners. —Bengal aurkaru, Sept. 3. We derive the following, which is of some interest, from a news-writer in Affghanistan " CAUBUL, JULY 23.—The Tartars have formed an alliance with the chiefs of Oosbegs Bulkh, Buneean, and the Wullee of Bokhara, who, with the troops they have already levied, and are still levying, have sworn to aid them against the Affghans as their common foe. Alarmed at these adversities, Alahommed Akbar abandoned his camp and escaped to Caubul, accomplishing his flight on horseback—the space that intervenes being about four hundred miles—in two days and nights. Dost Mahom- Tried, intimidated himself at these mischances, and igno rant of the measures to be adopted on the occasion, called together a select council, who, after a delibera tion, advised him to regain the Kuzzulbsshes and Beloo chees to his party by restoring to them the lands he bad wrested from them, and further to conciliate their good-will by paying them their wages three months in advance. To these recommendations the Dost readily assented, adding, of his own accord, the present of a caparisoned horse to each of their commanders. The object of the manoeuvre was attained, and it is already proclaimed that the Dost will soon set out against the Tartars, at the head of a fresh troop of 30,000 soldiers, leaving Akbar Khan and Aufzul Khan as his surrogates at Caubul. " JULY 25.—The Emir reviewed this morning the 40,000 men who had offered themselves for the expedi tion against the Tartars ; 10,000, however, of this number were rejected as inefficient, at which those dis carded took high offence, and thought of remonstrating strongly with the Dost, but were appeased by Gubar Khan. " JULY 29.—Intelligence from Jellalabad reached Caubul, reporting that Auzeer Khan, of Jubar Kail, and Saaud Baboo Jaun, of Koomur, had leagued together against Saadut Khan, and that they had raised troops to the number of 10,000 against the latter. But Akbar Khan, who will be left as deputy in the place of his father, intends, it is said, on the] departure of Dust Mahommed, to repair to Jellalabad and set at rest all feuds between these parties. There is a famine at Jel lalabad, and wheat was selling at 5 seers the rupee ; supplies had latterly been drawn from Caubul, but as we know all the available stores are required to be sent with the troops to Balkh, there is great want at Jellalabad." Bengal Hurkaru, Sept. 14. MO U LMEIN. We have Moulmein papers to the 14th ult., from which we take the annexed extracts : EXTRAORDINARY CONVERSIONS.—The Religious He ruld for this mouth, published in the Burmese language by the American missionaries here, contains an account of the conversion to Christianity of about two thousand Ktret.s, in the province of Arrakan, the result of the rnissicnary labours of the Rev. Mr. Abbot, within less than a year past. Truly . on such a subjects as this, the friends of Christian missions may well rejoice, and from it derive encouragement to persevering exertions. Men tion is also made of the benevolent gift of a thousand rupees by Major Broadfoot to the missionaries at Tavoy and Merui, with a view to commence the good work of education and the propagation of truth umong the mi serable inhabitants of the Selong islands on the coast of Mergui. The work has been begun.—Moulmein Chronicle, Aug. 7. The Hon. Company's steamer Ganges left this morn ing for Tavoy, and will convey Dr. Richardson at last to his new appointment of Assistant Commissioner at Tavoy; also Assistant Surgeon Canagie to the medical charge at Mergui, to relieve Dr. Reed, who will return immediately to Moulmein, from whence he will proceed to his appointment at Travancore. The Rajastan, Captain Aikin, from Calcutta, bound to the Mauritius, put in here for repairs, having encoun . - tt red a series of heavy gales in the bay.—Moulmein Chra n;cle, Aug. 14. THE LATE MUTINY—GENERAL ORDER. (From the Bengal Hurharn.) The general orders of the Commander-in-Chief re ceived yesterday afternoon contain the official announce ment of the finding and sentence of the court-martial on the mutineers of the 64th Regiment, with the Com mander-in-Chief's remarks thereon. REMARKS BY THE COMMANDER-Di•CHIEF. "It is with the deepest sorrow that the Commander in-Chief promulgates to the army the foregoing charges and sentences against thirty-eight sepoys of the 64th Regiment Native Infantry ; but, however deep the feel ing of regret on hisExcelleney's mind, it is his determina tion to vindicate; the, discipline of the army, by causing to be carried into effect, on the principal culprits, the ex emplary and just sentence passed by the Court, and by subjecting the remainder of the prisoners to other severe punishment'. " The chief cause of this disgraceful mutiny appears to have been the disappointment of th e men at not receiving a much higher rate of p a y than they were entitled to by regulation and the orders of Government ; and it is shown iri evidence that they were promised certain specific advan tages. This point will form the subject of further serious investigation. But the Commander-in-Chief cannot too earnestly impress upon the army at large, that no hope or expectation of pecuniary advantages, from whatever quarter held out, can for a moment justify the military act of refusing to receive the regulated pay ; and most especially that there can be no possible extenuation of open and violent mutiny, such as has occurred at Shikar pore, whatever may be the circumstances of the case. " The firmness and management of Major-General Hunter, in restoring this regiment eventually to a sense of its duty, have met with the highest approbation of the Commander-in-Chief. A proffer of pardon having been made to the regiment at Sukkur, on condition of their giving up the ringleaders in the mutiny, and bring ing them to conviction, which has been fulfilled, his Ex cellency has now only the painful but necessary task of disposing of the sentences passed by the court. " The sentence of death on the following prisoners, sa...yor Sewsahai Sing, of the 3d company • Jur? ernauth JuBtoboonneyrn, o p f an t y he ; Bth company ; Sew umbar ' Pan b d g y, of the of the 3d company ; Bieruth Sing, of the a 3 m d iss° p (m an ' y . ; and Sewpaul Sing, of the Bth company, will be carried into effect, by their being generally hanged b th bne are dead under instructions which ywille transmitted to his Ex cellency Major-General Sir C.

" The sentence of death on the following prisoners, sepoys Dishram and Kassee Sing, of the 7th company, and Sow•narain Misser, of the Sth company, is commuted to imprisonment, with hard labour, for five years, in each of their cases. " The Commander-in-Chief is pleased to direct the discharge of Bissoon Sing, sepoy, of the 7th company, notwithstanding his acquittal : because he is proved to have instigated other men to demand increased pay, and because his character is bad. " The foregoing order is to be read and explained at the head of every regiment, troop, and company in the Bengal service. "By order of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief " J. B. LUMLEY, Major- General, Adjutant- General of the Army." CHINA. We have China pipers to the 30th July, from which we make the following extracts. The prices of opium on the 29th July were— Patna-- Renares Malwa 780 750 720 to 760. From Canton we learn that up to the 28th no further disturbances had taken place, though confidence is by no means restored, and business continues to be interrupted. The Chinese guard at the factories bare been conside rably increased, but their cowardice is too well known to allow them to be trusted to, as they would either desert their posts, or mingle with the crowd in case of an attack. The Chinese authorities have paid 500 taels to the widow and family of the person who was shot. Mr. Forbes, the American Consul, has been applied to to deliver up the person who shot him, and to order the St. Louis to leave Whampoa, neither of which is he likely to comply with. This application is reported by some to have been made by Keying, but as he would more natu rally address Mr. Cushing, it probably proceeded from the local magistrates. Her Majesty's ship Wolverine has returned toNVham poa, with directions, it is said, to proceed to Canton and lie off the factories, should that be considered n ecessar y. This is as it should be, and though such a measure would probably be remonstrated against by the Chinese, it is proper they should be made to understand that England will not allow herself to be obstructed by the bare letter of the treaty from defending the lives and properties of her subjects when these are endangered in the territories of an ally hither too weak or too faithless to protect them. Indeed, we consider our Government ought to assume higher ground, and plainly intimate to the Imperial Commissioner, that a riot occurring by which any of our countrymen shall suffer in person or property, and which they, the Chinese, well knowing it was threatened for weeks, yet took no adequate mea sures to prevent, will be considered a breach of the peace existing between the two nations, and lead inevitably to a renewal of hostilities. `Ye are satisfied such a declaration would be productive of the best effects, and it is what the occasion sufficiently justifies. For them to remain passive under such circumstances is equivalent to giving their approbation, and is the same as if any European Power should allow a plot against a neighbouring State to bo prepared within their territo ries without interfering to prevent it—a case which no thing but the weakness of the party assailed would pre vent from leading to a declaration of war b e t ween t h em. —Hong-Kong Register, July 2. The British residents at Canton have, through our Consul, F. C. Macgregor, Esq., forwarded a letter of thanks to Captain Tilton, of the United States ship St. Louis, for the protection afforded them, and the conse quent " feeling of security," when they " had but slender means of self defence against the outrages of a violert A memorial to the throne states that all the forts at Canton are now ready. Cannon of immense dimension, though of comparatively small calibre, is constantly put into them, as soon as the pieces are cast and ready for use ; and within less than a year the numerous de fences erected to guard the approach to the provincial city will bristle with these engines of destruction. Hong -Kong Register, July 30. Kekung, the late Governor-General, who asked leave of absence to retire for a time from his arduous duties, is no more. He died on the 13th of ;July of old age. From Lord Napier's time until Keshen's disgrace, he was Lieutenant-Governor, and with great skill kept himself out of all &Tapes, a small fine or a reprimand from the Court being the only punishment inflicted upon him. The Fuhshan gun foundry is still in full operation and furnishes a sufficient quantity of metal to all the fortifications and fortresses that have latterly been erected. The pieces now placed at the embrasures are at least double the number of what they were before.— Ibid. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. *from the Overland Bengal Hurkaru Price Current of Tuesday, Sept. 17.) COMMERCIAL REPORT. Bengal Hurkaru Office,Sept. 17, 1844. The Overland Mail (Express) arrived on the morning of the 13th ult. with dates to the Bth July. The commercial intelligence on the whole is rather favourable for some articles of produce, whilst for others of our principal staples the accounts are discouraging. EXPORTS. Indigo.—Just after the departure of the August mail, the weather became exceedingly bad, with a continuance of heavy rains, for about ten or twelve days, attended with extensive inundations, and manufacturing was put a stop to on the low lands. Since then the weather has proved exceedingly favourable for the high lands, and the season in the Lower Provinces begins to draw to a close. From the Upper Provinces the accounts are fa vourable.—Abundance of rain, and the crops of all de scription s very luxuriant. Under all circumstances it cannot be otherwise than calculated that the result of the season is likely to be very considerably over our last estimate: of 130,000 maunds. The crop is more than one-half already housed, and manufacturing going on as quickly as circumstances will permit. Of last year's crop, of which about 4,000 to 5,000 maunds still remain, some transactions have taken place at full prices. Sugar.—Oar market continued extremely dull for a short time after the departure of the August mail, and prices declined considerably, but during the last ten or fifteen days the demand has revived, and very large ope rations have taken place, at an advance on the various qualities, occasioned by the exceedingly low rate of ex change, and freights being easier, in consequence of a considerable increase to our tonnage in the river, by nume rous arrivals. Rum.—Large shipments continue to be made for the English market, at prices from 6i to 7 annas per gallon, proof. Exports from 10th Aug. to 13th Sept. inclusive, 95,396 gallons. Saltpetre.—The demand for fine qualities has con tinued very steady, and considerable sales have taken place. Raw Silk.—The demand since our last has been very steady, and considerable sales have taken place, but at lower prices, in consequence of buyers holding off rather than give.the high rates demanded by consignees of the article. Silk Piece Goods, Corahs.—The demand has been rather steady than otherwise throughout, but holders have been obliged to submit to rather lower prices, par ticularly for the middling qualities ; the fine descriptions are scarce, and maintain full rates. In Bandanas there is little doing, but in Choppas there has been some stir in the market. Lac llye.—Our market for this article has been very dull, but previous prices are fully maintained—first quality scarce, and quoted at Co.'s rs. 60 to 65, good fair descriptions rs 28, BNR at 19-8, and MB at 16 per b. md. Shellac.—The sales are not so extensive as advised by last mail, still a fair extent of business has been done at rather lower rates than previous quotations. Cotton.—Since our last, one or two vessels have been laid on, and are now loading for China, and the exports to the 13th instant are 3,449 bales. The exports during what is usually termed the shipping season, that is from the first week in May to the above date, amount to about 50,000 bales. This market is in a very languid position, and prices are much lower. Opium.—Prices of the drug have fluctuated a good deal since last report, and may now be quoted conside rably lower, in consequence of the spirit of gambling having subsided a little amongst our natives, and those connected with the Bombay opium trade. Patna is now wooth Co.'s is. 1,565 to 1,570 and 1,460 to 1,645 per cheatfur Benares. P r i ces b y last accounts from China are quoted at 780 dollars. Rice.—Freights latterly being easier, a fair extent of business, since the commencement of the month, has been done at Co.'s rs. 2-2 to 2-4 per b . Ind. for good clean shipping qualities. Seeds, Linseed.—Some small parcels, heavy and well garbled, for shipment in small pockets for the English market, have been sold at Co.'s rs. 1-12 to 1-14 per b. ind., and the Americans have bought rather largely at these rates. Ginger.—A very good business has been done in this article, and sales are reported to a considerable extent at Co.'s rs. 5-12 to 5-14 per b. md. for well garbled, fingery parcels. Tallow.—ln very moderate inquiry, and we only no tice the export to England of 64 maunds, but as the cold season approaches, we may expect to see a good deal doing in this article. Present prices are about Co.'s rs. 17-8 to 18.8 per bazaar maund. Hides.— Our market continued dull for all descriptions for some time after the mail came in, and prices, parti. cularly for ordinary qualities, declined ; latterly, how- I ever, freights bei ng l ower, a b etter b usiness has been done. MONEY MARKET. Bengal Hurkaru Office, Calcutta, Sept. 17, 1844. Since the issue of our last overland summary our Money Market has been very quiet, capital being in great abundance. Government securities have risen in consequence of this rsdundancy; and Five per Cent. New Loan has changed hands at 10 per cent, premium. It is now held at something higher than this rate. The other loans have also advanced, " The sentence of death on the following prisoners, sepoys Goolab Sing, Madarbux Khan, and Ghunsam Owustee, of the 6th company ; Sewruttan Sing and Shaiek Mucdoombux, of the 7th company, is commuted to im prisonment, with hard labour, for seven years, in each of their cases.

(From the Englishman.) Our commercial operations have, during the past month, been characterised by their usual languor at this period of the year. The last mail, bringing the news of the alteration in the sugar duties, has caused a con siderable derangement in that trade, and has created great anxiety amongst the principal speculators in the article, who must now calculate on heavy losses. It is expected that many bills drawn against such consignments will be returned, and the operations of the money market are consequently much disturbed. The general tendency of exchanges, both here and in China, is downwards, and there are some amongst the merchants who confidently anticipate a return to bullion remittances. Should this be the result, it is 'probable that such remittances will be made direct from China to Europe in Sycee silver, and that this market will be for some time deprived of its regular supplies of the precious metal The East India Company has announced that its operation in exchange for the ensuing season will be limited to 800,0001. sterling. The indigo crop may now be considered as certain not to fall below 140,000 maunds, and may somewhat exceed this quantity. A violent storm during the past month did considerable partial injury, and raised the hopes of the speculators for the moment. But neither that nor the locusts, nor droughts in one district and inundations in another, have been able to counteract the general pro ductive tendency of the season, and we have consequently another bumper crop coming forward. A report just published by the Agricultural Society of Calcutta will put an end to the expectations of those oho thought that India might rival China in the tea trade. It appears, on the evidence of the most experienced cultiva tor in Assam, that tea cannot be grown at less than one shilling a pound on the average of years, and this with out reckoning any of the expenses of bringing to market. It can, therefore, never compete with the produce of China, not even in this country. Advices from Canton notice the gradual increase of the import trade arising from the peace. The American Ambassador, Mr. Cush ing, has negotiated a treaty on the same terms as Sir Henry Pottinger's, but has obtained a slight concession in the duties on lead, which the Americans expect to supply in large quantities from their western territories. The opium trade was brisk, and the price will certainly be high at the public sales of the ensuing season, pro bably not under 1,400 to 1,500 rupees per chest. The public here is anticipating with satisfaction the establishment of a regular monthly line of steamers, which will relieve it from the expense of the conveyance of letters from Bombay, and the uncertainty attending the bad geographical position of that port during the S.W. monsoon. TRADE AT HONG-KONG. (From the Hong-Kong Price Current, July 26.) AMERICAN DOMESTICS AND DRILLS.—There is still little or no stock in first hands, but further supplies are looked for by American ships daily expected. BETEL N UT.—We hear of a sale of some magnitude at $4,50 per pecul in Canton. Early importations, if moderate, will command these rates in this quarter. At Amoy, and further north, there is less demand. We understand the Bintang is on her way from the port men tioned, where she scarcely sold anything. CAMLETS.—We hear of a few sales at $22 to $24 per piece, but the market here is, on the whole, as dull as before. At Amoy, prices are quoted at a dollar to a dollar and a half over rates here ; but there also the hands of the dealers are full. At Shanghae and Ningpo some barter transactions have taken place. CHINTZES are in no demand anywhere, the market being quite overdone. COTTON.—We hear of a few transactions of minor im portance in New Bombay and Bengal. Tinnevelly is utterly unsaleable, owing to the heavy stocks which have accumulated in the Nankin country. Corrox-YARN continues as depressed as before, and sales are very difficult to effect. The stocks hero and at Amoy are very large. IRON.—The market is over-supplied, and little is consequently doing. LEAD.—The market is somewhat firmer, in con sequence chiefly of the demand created by the Tientsin junks now loading in the river, and prices have advanced somewhat. To the northward there is some inquiry for this metal, at an advance of about half a dollar on Canton rates. LONG CLOTHS.—A good deal of business has been done in these goods during the by-gone week both at Canton and Hong-Kong. At Amoy the demand is steady, and likely to continue so if supplied in a reasonable degree. At Chusan, Ningpo, and Shanghae, the transactions reported to us have been almost all in barter. LONG ELLs.—Little it doing, except in barter, the sea son being unfavourable for the sale of such goods. OPIUM.—The market continues firm, being supported in some degree by the smallness of the supply. Our latest arrival is the Waterwitch from Calcutta, with dates to the 18th of June, when prices were quoted at Co.'s rs. 1,480 for Patna, and Co.'s rs. 14,000 for Be nares, with a stock of 2,518 chests of the former, and 1,099 ditto of the latter. TIN is in little request. TIN PLATES are firmer than for some time past, the supply being more moderate, and rates having advanced somewhat. WOOLLENS.—We hear of a few sales of Spanish stripes and habit cloths at lower rates. rnE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING. NOVEMBER 1 1844. EXPORTS. ALUM.--This article is now brought down in large quantities from the coast, and shipped generally for India. CAMPHOR is plentiful, and can be bought from $lB to $25 per pecul. RHUBARB.—A large quantity of the new crop has ar rived, and will be brought to market as soon as it can be dried. SlLK.—Tsatlee--There is none of last year's crop now here. The new silk is said to be firmer and more plen tiful than last season's. Canton—The supply is small ; the second and third crops are said to have been de stroyed by the late rains. TEA.—Black—Very little is doing in old Tea ; a few chops of new Congous are in Canton, for which most exorbitant rates are asked, and have, in one or two in stances, been given ; we hear of one chop having been bought at taels 39 per pecul, short price. About 4,000 chests of Orange Pekoe hare found purchasers at taels 28 to 32 per pecul. Green—Business is entirely con fined to Canton made Teas.

In the Number, just published, of Fraser's Ma gazine there is an article headed " The Landowners and the Labouring Classes," a subject which of late has attracted public attention in no ordinary degree. This article is remarkable on two accounts. In the first place, it is singularly just and even liberal in its tone, and divested of anything like party prejudice; and secondly, it makes its appearance in a periodical which has long been conspicuous, not only by its Toryism and its ardent sympathies with the agricul tural Monopolists, but also by the fierce, uncompro mising spirit in which it has on all occasions enforced its opinions on these matters. Now, however, it would seem to have altogether changed its tone, and to have found out at length that the extreme Tory sentiments which it has maintained for so many years, can no longer be upheld with safety. It has now become quite moderate in its notions ; can per ceive faults in the landowners where it before saw nothing but excellence, and even goes the length of recommending them to follow—as regards their pea santry—the example set them by the so much vilified manufacturers in their conduct towards the operatives in their employ. This is a great stretch of candourfor so decided a party journal as Fraser, and we hail it as an unequivocal manifestation of the increasing liberal tendencies of Toryism. We quote one or two of the passages that have most struck us by their truth and frankness. "If we have ever been among the number of those," says Fraser, " who held up the landed aristocracy as objects of imitation to the cotton-lords, we are now constrained to reverse the picture, and to recommend to the owners of the soil the adoption, as far as may be, of a course on which the owners of mills and manufactories seem fa rly to have entered. Not that we charge be country gentlemen with indifference to heir great duties. We have already said that everywhere in the rural districts a general disposition has sprung up to forget class interests and class pre judices in the great work of elevating the national character. But the misfortune is—and perhaps at the outset it could -not be otherwise—that all this stir on the - part of landlords brings them into more intimate coramunion only with their tenantry. The poor peasant derives no advantages, either physical or moral, from the improvements that are in progress. More work is not found for him—better wages are not paid to him. No living soul appears to care for him, except at those annual gatherings when, with as much ostentatious show as kindness, he is paraded before a company of landowners, land-occupiers, and clergymen, to compete for some paltry prize. Con trast with this the behaviour of the millowuera at Leeds and Manchester towards their work-people! See how considerately the latter are beginning to be treated ! No middle-men stand between them and their employers, except so far as the necessities of business compel ; and in all their more rational amuse ments the master manufacturers join them. The consequence is a continuous and steady elevation of character everywhere. The landowners must bestir themselves. They, too, have a great part to play in the national revival which has begun, and if they do not enter upon it at once and vigorously, their good name must suffer." Who would have dreamed, but two short years since, that a high Tory periodical would have held language like this, and recommended the example of the manufacturers as worthy to be imitated by the landowners. The passage is in every respect a remarkable one, and gives undeniable proof of the power of events and circumstances to flash conviction even on the stubborn mind of Toryism. We now find it admitted by an enemy—a just and conscien tious one we must confess—that the great cotton lords are by no means the hard, selfish, mer cenary wretches that self-complacent Monopoly has so long represented them to be; that they do not stand coldly and haughtily aloof from the numerous work-people in their employ, or treat them as mere senseless machines, fit only to be used for the purpose of making money; but, on the con trary, that their conduct is so considerate and kindly —so devoid of all upstart arrogance and assumption— so marked by an unassuming show of courtesy to wards the operatives, and a sincere wish to elevate them in their own esteem—that the land owners cannot possibly do better than adopt the same just and beneficent course of policy towards the peasantry on their estates. We cordially agree with Fraser that the time is at length come when " the landlords must bestir themselves." They have been talking of it long enough, they must now set to work in right earnest. It is not by making showy speeches in Parliament that they will be able to effect any substantial good, but by going personally among the peasantry, acquainting themselves with their little wants and wishes, treating them with a kindness and familiarity that shall have nothing of lofty condescen sion in its tone, and assisting them to the utmost of their power whenever they require and deserve assist ance. The Allotment system is good, so far as it goes, but it is an instalment only—and can be re garded in no other light—of the heavy debt that the landowners have long owed to the peasantry. The very forbearance and exemplary patience which the latter have manifested during their long night of suffering should plead trumpet-tongued in their favour, and quicken every generous emotion in the breast of their superiors. We most fervently hope that the hour is not far distant when they will in some degree be compensated for their terrible Trivations, and be come again what they 'once were, and ought always to have . been, " their country's pride," instead of its opprobrium. Every day brings with it, to our mind, increasing confirmation of the apprehensions we have not ceased to express with regard to the operation of the Premier's Bill for the so-called " Regulation" of the Currency--from its first announcement. We have very lately endeavoured to urge upon the serious at tention of our readers the growing disproportion between the circulation which the supporters of the measure have assumed to be sufficient for the enormous transactions of our home and foreign trade, the ordinary other demands of social inter course, &c.—and the new and multiplying channels through which the energy of speculation is now en deavouring to diffuse our hitherto undeveloped capi tal. The immense works connected with railway lines, whether perfected, in progress, or still uncom menced, appear to be the favourite directions into which that capital is tending. And there is nothing wonderful in this fact. At a time when the financial policy of the Government has reduced the interest of the public debt so extensively, and on so many classes of Government securities, it is natural, that they who have money to invest (especially when the sums to be invested are but small ones) should prefer those concerns which, by the daily lists of the share and money market, appear to yield the best returns. Thus, the extraordinary premiums of from 75 to 100 per cent. now paying on original shares of the three most powerful railroad associations, operate as a direct inducement with persons whose limited capital renders them more anxious to secure a large interest for it, in the shape of share divi dends, than considerate of the disadvantageous—be cause exorbitant—terms, on which they invest their principal. The very facts that recommend such in vestments to their selection ought, in a prudential view of the matter, to operate with them to select other lines, shares in which can be obtained at the far more modest premium of some 2 or 3 per cent., which is commensurate with their smaller scale or more limited revenue. It is, however, quite indis putable that this preference for the shares command ing such extraordinary premiums is, primii fade, justified by the confidence and patronage bestowed on them by the public ; the grand and even magni ficent system on which they are administered ; and the vast and permanent market they furnish for cer tain descriptions of our industrial and mechanic labour. No such considerations can fairly be predi cated of those immense railway lines on the Conti nent, executed, or in course of execution, by English contractors, however profitably they may have re munerated, or may promise to remunerate, their undertakers. In these latter instances, it is too gene rally the case that there is a vast efflux from this country of British capital, subscribed by British shareholders, which is rapidly absorbed by the wages of foreign labour, expended in foreign countries, and but slowly and disproportionately returned to the limited number of individuals here who are benefited as iron-masters or constructors of locomotive ma chinery. The return through the contractors them selves will probably be slowest of all. They will have but little capital to remit and invest at home, pending the construction of works which must de mand, until they be completed, the almost entire de votion of their time and means, either in the per sonal discharge of their contracts, or the personal supervision of those who execute them, on the spot. Let the amount of British capital thus diverted, or locked up, or impounded, as it were, from British circulation, and carried off in bullion, or exchanged against it, on the Continent, be taken into account, together with the demands of the new forty railway lines just now candidates for public approval and sanction, and what will be the extent of the conse quences that must ensue upon any groundless panic, or other possible event, that may have the effect of producing a temporary depression and discourage ment of railway stock ? We tremble to contemplate it. The day, however, will come, when the pres sure from this single source alone—on a currency which is committed to the disorganising action of a standard cheap price of gold, irrespective of its scarcity or abundance, and the effect of either of those conditions on the prices of all other commodi ties ;—when this pressure, we say, will be felt in tremendous force. The last week's return of the Bank stock of gold and silver bullion showed a formidable decline in quantity, as compared with its amount a week or two after the passing of the Bank Charter Renewal Bill, of something like four mil- lions sterling. And again, the price of gold - does not appear to fall at Hamburgh or Paris in the propor tion which might have been theoretically anticipated from the large exports of silver within the last ten days to Rotterdam, Hamburgh, and other foreign ports. The truth seems to be, that, notwithstanding the apparent improvement which has been taking place in the general aspect of our trade for some time past—the causes are already at work which will pre- cipitate the testing of those disastrous fallacies in the Premier's currency policy that are fraught with ulti- mate ruin to the whole industrial classes of this coun- ,ry ; to that very commerce, the interests of which the infatuated Dremier supposes he is upholding by his Bill of pains and penalties against the better re presentation and more easy transfer of property or capital; and to all the legitimate markets of trade or employment in which it. ought to have been his aim and his gratification to secura to the honest artisan or labourer "a fair day's wage for a full day's work." Instead of this, h' has done his best to crush and keep down wages ; to lower prices to the standard at which cheap gold would keep them ; and by that means to throw upon the overburdened shoulders of the famishing operative producer, and the agricul- tura labourer, three-fourths of all the bimense amount of indirect taxation levied in the United Kingdom! Madrid journals of the 24th ult. have been received. They contain an outline of the speech made by MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, which puts at rest the inventions of a Paris journal about a reconciliation between the royal family and Don CARLOS. He declared with much emphasis that never should Don CARLOS and his family return to the palace of her MAJESTY through any intrigue. This declaration must produce the effect of setting at rest the thousand vague conjectures which have been hazarded as to the bearing of the article of the Reform Bill relative to the marriage of the QUEEN. The Government, he added, were perfectly well aware that the Exaltados and the Carlists were conspiring both within and without the country, but every necessary precaution was taken to prevent the accomplishment of their designs. He added, that the Ministry had thought it their duty not to introduce into the Speech froni the Throne any question which was not a sort of programme of their official intentions and the steps which they meant to pursue; they wished thus to place a barrier to discussion. They hoped to con•• solidate the peace of the country, and to establish those organic laws of which it stood so much in need. The intention of the Government, he said, was to seek for their arms in the arsenal of the laws, and not in that of revolution. The Government had not consi dered it their duty to make any special mention of the See of Rome, although it should not be supposed from that that the Government were indifferent to such a grave subject. Steps had been taken to re establish political relations, and relations of a su perior order, which it was important to make in a firm and stable manner, and beyond the influence of passions and policy, because their character was im mutable. These relations ought to exist between the ' visible head of the Church and a nation eminently Catholic. The Government would endeavour by every means in its power to effect a sincere and ho nourable reconciliation, for the Government had two fold duties to perform, conciliating at the same time the rights and wants of the nation with the preroga tives of the Crown. He was happy to announce that those relation: were likely to be established. With regard to the remarks of an Honourable Member, that the congratulations on the termination of the affair of Morocco were premature, he would observe, that the Emperor of MOROCCO had given to Spain all the sa tisfaction and the indemnities which she had demanded. Relative to the same subject, the Minister of Grace and Justice, and the Minister for Foreign Affairs, said that it was necessary to remove all hope from the partisans of Don CARLOS until they should have fully submitted themselves to the Government of the nation. The Chamber of Deputies did not sit on the 24th, but in the evening there was a mee ti ng o f mem b ers opposed to the new Bill, when they could muster only eighteen. Accounts have been received this day from Madrid of the 25th, but they bring nothing fresh, if we except a rise in the funds. Upon the Madrid Exchange of the 24th the Three per Cents. were at 26f for ready money, and at 26i at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 20, at 60 days. On the 25th the Three per Cents. were done at 278 at 60 days; the Five per Cents. at 20k, at 60 days; and the Floating Debt of the Treasury at 631, at 60 days. The Journal des Debuts announces with evident satisfaction that on Tuesday, the 29th of October, the anniversary of the accession the power of the present Ministers, all the Members of the Cabinet dined with the KING at St. Cloud. The Ministry, therefore, has entered on the fifth year of its existence—an age which no French Cabinet since the July revolution has attained. The occasion furnishes to the Govern ment journal a good subject for congratulation, and certainly, when we contrast the excited state of France at the fall of M. TRIERS and its present peaceful and prosperous condition, everything is in favour of M. GUIZOT'S administration. The same journal then adverts to the state of Spain, which does least honour to the policy of the pre sent Cabinet. It was a wanton, underhand inter ference with a neighbouring people, and may yet lead to the most serious consequences. When that journal seemed disposed to blame MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA and NARVAEZ for remodelling the Constitution, and especially for abolishing that part of it which ac knowledged the sovereignty of the people, we attached not the slightest importance to its remarks. It was all for the purpose of keeping up a show of impar tiality till the proper time should come for recognising the new measure. That time appears to. have arrived, and the Ministerial journal, though ostensibly not much in love with the new Charter, yet lets the affair drop away quietly, by saying that " after all, the Spaniards ought to be the best judges of their own affairs." It at the same time asserts, that the pre tended treaty between the POPE and Queen CHRIS TINA, which we copied from the National, is a " mere fable." We thought as much at the time. Fabri cated documents may effect their object in a despotic Government, such as that of NAPOLEON, where no contradictions were allowed. In these days the National will find the effect very different, and by such mendacious arts only merit a title which all honest, and even dishonest, men abhor. The follow ing are the remarks in the Journal des Debuts, to which we refer:— " The Committees in the two Spanish Chambers have proceeded seriously and quietly to discuss the newly proposed constitutional reform. Out of doors the same ariquillity prevails, notwithstanding all the endeavours made to disturb it. We have no more admiration to day than we had yesterday of what is passing in Spain ; but, after all, the Spaniards ought to be the best judges of their own affairs, and it appears to be certain that the Bill presented by the Government will be passed by a large majority. We may naturally expect a number of exaggerated reports as to the state of the public mind, particularly in the provinces, to be put in circulation ; but hitherto all attempts to excite agitation have com pletely failed. Projects of reaction are attributed to the Spanish Government, which, if they had any foundation, would be most insensate, and a French journal goes so far as to publish the articles of a treaty which it pre tends to have been concluded between the present Go vernment and Don Carlos, on the occasion of the pre sumed marriage between Queen Isabella and the Prince of the Asturias. According to our own information, we may safely affirm that there has not been any idea of such a union, and, consequently, that this pretended treaty is a mere fable. On the contrary, it should seem that the Congress Committee has proposed, in accordance with the Government, to add to the Bill an article ex pressly precluding the Sovereign from contracting mar riage with any person directly excluded from the suc cession to the Crown. In truth, the Bill is already strong enough without the addition of any factitious mat ter, and attempting to render it worse than it is, will only make it appear the better." The National has another furious article against the new Spanish Constitution, and throws all the blame on ➢t. GUIZOT. What absurdity in this journal to come in after the death, without making the slightest attempt to vindicate the independence of Spain, when it was invaded by Spanish refugees from France. Its national vanity, no doubt, was soothed by seeing Frenchmen exert such influence in Spain ; and now it attacks M. GUIZOT, not from any generous impulse in favour of freedom, for of that it is incapable, but solely to annoy a Government that has the honesty and skill to keep it and other firebrands under salutary control. These papers con tain no domestic news. In fact, France is at present perhaps, the most peaceful and contented nation in Europe. Loins PHILIPPE and his Cabinet may, therefore, look back on the last four years with no ordinary feelings of joy and exultation. THE BOURSE--WEDNESDAY, OCT. 30. First Highest Lowest Last Price.
