Theintelligence by this Mail is not of great import ance. India is perfectly trenqiil ; the affairs of Sinde are going on as well as might have been expected ; the campaign in South Mahratta had closed, and the British troops were leaving the country. The Punjaub remains in the same unsettled state, but no new outbreak had taken place. Our troops, however, were still gathering on the frontier, mud by, tils. ; ,!..ip?o amount at least ,Jp-, 10;i1 00 r2icn"... - if'easy 1 /titled at Calcutta, peacefully occupied in adopting measures for improving the education of the natives, and also increasing the re venue by additional import duties on European produce. The latter, we think, a very questionable measure. It is, at all events, dangerous, and may lead to serious re sults. The Calcutta correspondent of the Times gives the following account of the new tariff':— " The most important occurrence of a domestic kind which has for some time happened here is the publica tion of a draught Act, just read a first time in the Legislative Council, for altering the import duties. It is proposed to increase the duties on all metals, wrought and unwrought ; on all marine stores ; on woollen ; on cotton and silk piece-goods ; on wines and liquors ; on spirits; and on all manufactured articles not enumerated. Cotton-thread, twist, and yarn have escaped with the old duties, except foreign thread (an article of little im portance), which now, for the first time, is subjected to double the duty of British. The best exposition of the proposed Act is to be found in the /fork/To, which has opposed the change frjm the first. The Englishman, also, intimates the probab:e mischief it will do to foreign commerce ; but, at the same time, expresses a regret for t he necessit y which it supposes to exist fo r such a measur e ; the Star, at the eleventh hour, shows ae opposition, after having, in the spirit of a clerk or seerstsry of so me revenue office, suggested an apology f o r it, in a supp osed loss to the revenue from the abolition of the Madras transit duties. Nothing b u t a p rove d ne cessity can ex cuse such a measure. Marine s t ores ar e raised from 3to 5 p er cent. ; metals, from 3 to 5 p er cent, ;wo ollens, from 2 to 5 per cent. ; ti n , f rom 3 t o 5 per cent. ; c otton and silk piece-goods, from 3i to 5 per cent. ; p orter, ale beer, from 3i to 5 per cent. ; wines and liquors, from an ad valorem duty of 10 per cent. to 1 rupee 8 annas (35.) per gallon ; and all unenurcerated articles from 3i to 5 per cent. These are the rates os British goods ; on foreign the rates are raised in the same proportion; and the distinction is preserved and the same proportion con tinued between imports on British and on foreign bot- toms." The same journal makes the following just remarks respecting the sickness of the 78th Highlanders :—"The health of the troops in Sinde is admitted to be in general good. The only exception ha s been the 78th High landers, which had lost in five months to the Ist of Fe bruary 431 men, leaving only 494 remaining. Sickness was diminishing in the regiment, which was coming to Bombay in a steamer from the mouth of the Indus. It is necessary to be cautious in giving credit to the exag gerations circulated on the subject of the mortality, w ith the evident object of damaging the reputation of Sir C. Napier,-as if, while the other troops continue compara tively healthy, ho was to be exclusively blamed for the sickness prevalent in that regiment." We have all along contended that the sickness in Sinde and the difficulties attending the occupation of this fine district had been greatly magnified by interested writers forlndian journal s, and the fact now seems gene says that of Sir gene rally admitted. Even th e Bombay correspondent of the Morning Herald goes out of his way and counteracts the policy of the journal by which he is employed to have a " fling" at the hero of Matinee. It is easy to prophecy a co ft r e r r esp th o e nd e e v n e t n , t. " a" Icospeynt Charles Napier on ent erin g on his expedition into the hills, together with a fe w p articulars of the earlier pro ceedings of the expedit ion itself. On the second head I of yon the lastproclamationmonth have really very little to communicate. An army of ,5,000 British troops and 2,000 allies have been in the field for nearly a month, and have apparently done no thing—for the best of all reasons, however, fur it was foreseen from the first that if the enemy chose to walk away there really was nothing to -be done. It seems most extraordinary that a man of Sir Charles Napier's undoubted talent and great knowledge of mankind should not from the beginning have perceived that, un less the enemy stood still to be shot at, it was impossible to effect anything againt them." The accounts brought by this mail are of the-follow ing dates :—Bombay, March 1 ; Madras, Feb. 21 ; Cal cutta, Feb. 19 ; Lahore, Feb. 9 ; Sinde, Feb. 20 ;Sin gapore, Jan. 26 ; and China, Jas. 14. (From the Bombay Times, March 1.) The month of February has proved singularly barren in events. Sir C. Napier, who went forth in the end of January, with about 5,000 British troops and 2,000 Siudian auxiliaries, to put down the freebooters who have infested our frontier ever since we ad vanced it beyond the Indus, remains with the troops on the other side of the Desert, at the base or in the bosom of the mountains. Some successful attacks (adverted to in our last ) w ere made on the enemy, in one of which three thousand stolen cattle were rascued, a village taken, and a score or two of plunderers killed or wounded --a bold assault, and rapid march or two, were at the outset duly set forth in general orders! which concluded, in reference to the marches, that " the glory of soldiers was as often won by their legs as by their arms." From the 20th of January to the Bth or 10th of February, the force seems to have done nothing but con sume their supplies, which at the latter date were pretty nearly exhausted. The enemy were never seen, though the incessant robberies which occurred in and around the camp showed that they had not wholly departed. The people generally remain quiet, and the troops, with the exception of her Majesty's 78th Highlanders, healthy, throughout Sinde. Of this unhappy regiment more than one.half had died in five months ; the survivors are this day expected to arrive from Kur rachee at Bombay, to abide the determination of Government, whether they shall be sent to the Deccan, the Cape of Good Hope, or England. The troops are now in process of being withdrawn from the disturbed districts of Kolapore and Sawunt Warree. A number of " small affairs" have come off in the course of the month—martial law has been proclaimed—some 600 or 700 pri soners are in our hands waiting to be tried by military tribunal— and one of the most turbulent of the insurgent leaders, Lall Gheer Gosain, has been hanged. Colonel Outram has been appointed political agent or resident at Sattara. The Punjaub continues turbulent, and the chief military stations 'on the north west frontier . are being reinforced. There seems no idea of a Sikh war for the present—the measures which have been adopted being preventive merely. Little more of the Cashmere or Nepaul troubles has been heard in the course of the month. Gsvalior teems peaceful ; and the unquiet aspect of the horizon to wards the north is vanishing away. The hot season is at hand, when military operations must be suspended till September. The British dominions throughout India enjoy profound peace. From China we have tidings to the 14th of January ; their interest is chiefly commercial. Sir Henry Hardinge continues at Calcutta, devoting himself to the concerns of a thoroughly peaceful admi- Listration, and continuing unwearied in his exertions to advance the education of the people; and the comforts of the humbler ranks of the army. If the history of the present time is uninteresting, our prospects, are cheerful. , We gave in last month's summary some particulars of the march of an expedition of some magnitude, which started from Sukkur about the middle of January, into the haunts of the robber tribes nearest beyond our new frontier in the direction of Shikarpore. Our present information from the field force extends to the 10th of February. The force dispatched was by general order directed to consist of 2,440 infantry, and 1,600 cavalry, besides artillery, from Sukkur—viz.: four 4i inch m9rtars, two and two 41 inch howitzers. From Lorkhana the Sinde horse and camel corps, with the volunteers of her Majesty's :39th (drafts from her Ma jesty's 13th) mounted on camels, with two mountain guns, were to proceed on the 13th. Ali Moorad promised to bring 2,000 and Wullce Mahomed some 600 or 800 followers into the field (it was feared our allies would tax the supplies to a larger amount than the value of their services); so that in all the force probably amounted to nearly 7,000 men, 4,500 British and 2,500 allies, with ten or twelve pieces of ord nance. The troops under the governor having crossed the desert, Capt. Salter with the 6th Irregular Cavalry marched 40 miles, and Captain Jacob 37 with the Sinde horse, on the 16th ; Captain Mowatt in 24 hours marched 56, Lieutant Smallpage with 136 police on foot marched 40 miles through the desert in 16 sue ces,ive hours—feats rarely exceeded in our military annals, consi dering the climate and country where they were performed. Ge neral Sir C. Napier stated that such performances made him proud of the force under his command, " the glory of soldiers being as often gained by their legs as by their arms." Nothing could be more essential to their success than the celerity of their movements. Captain Jacobs, on the 16th, reached the village of Shahpore before the inhabitants had time to abandon it, Though strongly fortified, and stoutly defended, the irregular horse carried it with the rapidity of lightning, made prisoners without injuring one of them, of all its occupants ; and their gallant leader was deservedly complimented by the general for the resolute, prompt, and humane conduct of his men. Capt. Salter, with the 6th Irregulars and two guns of the mountain train, overtook the robbers the same day near Ooch—surprised and defeated them with considerable loss— amount:ng, it is said, to 40 killed or wounded. On this occasion 3,500 head of stolen cattle were recovered while on their way to the hills. The troops under General Hunter crossed the desert to Khangur in two detachments, on the nights of the 19th and 20th, and found the way smooth and the weather cool and agreeable; the next morning at daybreak they reached Mi. notee ; on the 21st they started for Shahpore; and on the 22d proceeded to Ooch. Here they were inspected by the Governor on the 23d. On the night of the 22d Colonel Geddes had marched with the camel corps and Captain Mowatt's troop to a place 20 miles in advance of Ooch—Bejar Khan, with some 2,500 of his followers, being understood to have got surrounded in the vici. nage by the tribes friendly to us. From this time our accounts from the Kutchee force are scanty; the communication with Shahpore is said to have been uninterrupted, and the enemy had learnt wisdom and retired within their fastnesses, leaving their in- . vaders to wander up and down shine through the glens. On the 25th and 26th the brigade under General Hunter and the head quarters of the Governor, were at Sooroo Kooshte. The pass in fr .ont of them was, on the 27th, found deserted, and on the 29th the troops had got through the defile, and established therm. selves within the mountain range, where water and forage were abundant.. The army had now been thirteen days in the field ; the commissariat had only been ordered to provide supplies for a fortnight, and provisions began to fail. From other parts of Sinde the intelligence is of comparatively little interest. The country continues quiet, and the health of the troops is improving. From the return of the strength of the armies of the Indus, with the numbers in hospital at the beginning of last month—those with General Napier not being included—it appears that we have a force of 10,417 in the country, or reckoning •'4,500 for those absent 40 the: overnor, of nearly 15,000 Pn sal. Of these,. 1,144 are in hospital, CAUBUL. (From the Delhi Gazette, Feb. 18.) We will commence with the events in Central Asia, premising that although our communication with that country was inter rupted, as stated in our last, we have since then received our usual half monthly letters with the missing ones in duplicate, by a mes senger dispatched specially to Peshawur, the most recent leiter bringing news to the 26th December in the ordinary courses. It appears from our letters that Dost Mahomed was, up to their latest date, still at Caubul, engaged in the ceremonies of a marriage with a young damsel of 14, daughter of Taj Mahomed Khan, whom his principal wife, the mother of Mahomed Ukbar Khan, had been anx►ous to obtain as a bride for her son Shere Jan Khan. The fact of her being betrothed to Dost Mahomed became only known when the lady went to the house of the girl's father to open the ne gotiations for her son, and the pertanacity with which the Ameer persisted in carrying out his new matrimonial connexion will, we have great reason for believing, from what we know of the consc. quence of the like events in Mahomedan families generally, lead to the most serious consequences. Great dissatisfaction had been caused in Caubul, by the unwarranted disgrace of two of the most respectable men in the place, Surwur Khan, Lohanee, the chief con tractor of customs, and Meerza Khodadad Khan, the agent of the great Bokhara merchant, the late Buddur.ood-deen, his associate. The pretext made use of was that they had not accounted faith fully for their receipts, and was of course only advanced as usual in all such cases with the view of extorting money. When they have been well squeezed they may be restored to such favour as their poverty will admit of. him to enter on the stage. He is probably biding his time, though we have no opinion of his talents. What may be the ImmediAte cause of the march of troops in such numbers towards the N. W. frontier we are at present unable to state; but whatever it may be, there can be little doubt of the propriety of the step which has bcea taken by the Government. PUBLICATIONS.

GWALIOR. In the state of Sindia matters are in the same position as when we last wrote, with the exception that the outlaw, Pore!) Singh, had surrendered himself to Captain Shakespear the moment he re ceived a guarantee of his life, and he would have done so long since had the Durbar permitted. Intrigues on a large scale are in agitation, consequent on the increasing infirmities of the chief Min;ster, Itam Rao Phalkea. He has received more than ene hint to resign, but exhibits the peculiar tenacity of old age, in refusing to give up the lucrative power with which he has been invested by the British Government. KOLAPORE AND SAWUNT WARREE The proceedings in the disturbed districts have been of little in terest during the month. Our chief anxiety has been to see how our troops were to begot creditably withdrawn where so little had been done, and nothing at all concluded. They are now, however, everywhere on the march, and the campaign may already be said to be at an end. We noticed in our last that a party of her Majesty's 14th Drage ons, with some native troops, had been dispatched in quest of Lall Geer Gosain. The chase continued some days, when the rebel chief doubled upon his pursuers, and sought refuge in Kolapore. A price had been put upon him, and he was betrayed by a female friend in whom he had placed confidence. He was tried by military commission, and on the 21st hanged, and very de servedly, for his crimes. Large rewards have been offered for the apprehension of the Sawunt Warree rebel, Phond Sawunt, who at present skulks about the Goa borders. The remainder of the in telligence consists entirely in the movement of troops and breaking up of the army. The head-quarter, wing of the . 2d Queen,'s iiied here yesterday morning from Vingerla by theseesostiht. - - -CH INAt- •- (Frcm the Ilong.Kong Rrgiskr, Dec. 31 ) By an ordinance published last week power has been granted to the Governor, with the advice of the Executive Council, " when and so often as the exigency of the case may seem to him and them to require such procedure," to declare that in any district of the isl.nd, or in any l.ubllc or military station, martial law shall prevail—such proclamation having the force of al ordinance. We hope this power will have the effect for which it is intended, which is declared to be an order to afford her Majesty's subjects adequate protection from armed and predatory parties landing in numbers on the island. By a second ordinance it is enacted that in order to raise such funds as may be necessary to defray the civil expenses of the colony, -no person shall act as a weigher or broker of salt, or shall retail opium, bhang, ganja, baun, betel, or betel leaf, in the island, or its dependencies or waters, in less quantities than one chest, without a license for that purpose. The Governor in Council may grant the exclusive right and privilege for these purposes to one or more per. sons. Such license is to be granted to the highest bidder, and a penalty will be inflicted upon unlicensed persons retailing these articles. It is further enacted that no person shall act as pawn. broker, and auctioneer, or shall keep a public billiard hble, with out having obtained a license. The Governor is empowered, if he shall see fit, to levy an auction duty of 21 per cent. on all sales by auction within the colony. It is sufficiently understood that money must be raised within the colony to meet the expenses of the civil establishment, and such being the case, the articles men tioned in this ordinance are probably as proper subjects for taxa tion as any other, and if proper regulations are adopted we can see no objection to a moderate tax. COMMERCIAL SUMMARY. (From the Calcutta Englishman.) Since our last commercial report the tendency which we then noticed of produce to rise, and fif import goods to fall, has con tinued, and the latter are extremely dull of sale and in general almost without demand, whilst sales of produce have been large and at advancing rates. The second opium sale of the season took place on the 10th inst., at somewhat higher prices than the first, parti cularly for the Benares quality. This sale, consisting of 2,650 chests, puts about 32 lacs of rupees into the Company's treasury. Exchanges hare not materially varied, but notwithstanding the reduction of the Company's rates to one-tenth, the amount of bills since negotiated by them is only 7,30,159 Company's rupees. Being thus disappointed of making the intended remittances, it is under. stood that the Government has purchased 12 lacs of Sycee silver, and that bullion remittances will be continued till the mer chants show more eagerness to avail themselves of the Com pany's advances. Nothing can prove more clearly the desire Somewhere felt to cling to an erroneous system, than this remittance of imported bullion instead of selling bills in the centre of 'all great money transactions. It is evident that Sycee silver must be burdened =with the freight insurance and commission, between Canton and Calcutta, and that it could be shipped direct from China as cheap as from Caficutta to London, after these charges hare been incurred. If the Company were satisfied with selling their bills in the open market In London, the amount would be remitted on to China, and the Sycee shipped on private account with the least possible expense. It is, however, satisfactory to sec that the advance system is breaking down of it self, and it is obvious that sooner or later the Court of Directors will be obliged to avail themselves of the capital by which they are surrounded. Last week has also produced another financial mea sure which has given great dissatisfaction to the merchants—viz., the announcement of an Intended Act to raise the duties of customs upon staple imports. Manufactured goods, metals, wines and spirits, are the principal articles which are affected by the change. The duties were so low before that the increase may not prove very injurious to the commerce of the country, but seeing how it has thriven under the moderate system, it must be regretted that financial necessity should have induced an alteration which may be only the preparation for further exac tions. The difficulty of collecting heavy duties in this country would probably make them utterly unproductive, but that would hardly effect their removal till a serious injury had been done to an increasing and highly prosperous trade. Such a measure is the more to be regretted, because the Government possesses an ample source of revenue in the Malwa opium, which at present pays only about a fourth of what is levied on the Bengal drug, though it is of higher value in the market of consumption. The excuse for this inequality has hitherto been the difficulty of preventing smug gling through the native states, but as we have now undisputed possession of Sinde there arc only two insignificant ports to watch, the access to which is through our own territories. It is therefore extraordinary, at a time when the British Government is doing all in its power to remove fiscal obstructions to trade, that the Indian authorities should be imposing additional duties. (From the Calcutta Overland Price Current, Feb. 17.) Since the dispatch of the last mail, per steamer Precursor, our market for every description of country produce has maintained the activity then manifested, both as regards demand and price. The high ruling of freights might have been expected to cause a falling off in the inquiry for the more bu!ky articles, but such would appear to have been the case only to a very limited extent, as our export list still shows considerable shipments, but it is im possible that these can be kept up without numerous arrivals, as almost the entire amount of available tonnage has been engaged. Our import market still continues in a most unsatisfactory state, and, notwithstanding the almost unprecedentedly low price at which goods are procurable, there still appears no inclination on the part of dealers to lay in stock. We notice in the Government Gazette, of the Bth inst., the draught of a proposed Act for raising the import duty on all Eri tish staples (with the exception of twist) to 5 per cent., which is to be reconsidered by the Legislative Council of India on or about the Bth of May next. Indigo—The scarcity of this dye in the market has only allowed of one public sale being held since our last issue of the 7th inst. ; and by private contract, also, we are aware of but few transactions, which, however, have been effected at prices somewhat in advance of our last quotations, for the purpose of immediate shipment on vessels about to clear. From the deficiency which has been experienced in weight we are disposed to think that the outturn of the crop will prove under our former estimate of 1,40,000 mds., and in fact we almost doubt its reaching 1,35,000; and further, as a considerable portion ar rived ant was shipped early in the season, when it must necessarily have been fresh, we are inclined to think that when the indigo be opened oul for the inspection of parties in the docks, a consider- • able deficiency will again be experienced. The latest accounts from the Persian Gulf would appear to have been more encouraging, as the Moguls have been buying pretty freely, and will now, it is evident, take off considerably more than we previously calculated on ; and as this would appear to be the case with the Americans also, we find there only remains about 26,000 chests for Great Britain, out of which 21,174 have already gone forward. The French have taken more than their usual supply, and, as customary, principally of the finer qualities, but we think the assortment for that country this year is even superior to former rears. Sugar—We have again to notice a large business in this staple, without, however, any material alteration in price, and our bazaar is now almost cleared of the finer quality of Benares. Dates still continue in inquiry, but some of that now coming to market being of somewhat inferior quality, prices are rather easier. Khaurs and Ghoor are sought after at full prices for local manufacture ; the present high rates of freight precluding shipments of those sorts. Exports from the Ist instant up to date amount to 69,016 mds. Saltpetre—This article has been in moderate inquiry for Great Britain, and the Americans and French being out of the market at present, purchases have been effected at a reduction of about 4 annas per maund. Exports from the Ist instant up to date are as follows, viz. : To Great Britain...... Rum—Shipments have been rather light, but this we think is entirely owing to the great difficulty at present experienced in pro curing freight for the article, all manufactories being now in full work. Exports to Great Britain from the Ist inst. up to date amount to 15,833 gallons. Raw Silk—Nearly all descriptions have been in brisk demand, but snore particularly Cossinabazar and Junghypere of the No vember bund, of which sorts our market has been nearly cleared. In Hurrypaul and Radhagore some few transactions have been effected at about former rates for the finer descriptions, whilst low qualities are neglected, except at a decline. Exports from the Ist inst. up to date have been to Great Britain 1,635 maunds. Silk Piece Goods—A few parcels of corahs, manufactured from silk of the November bund, have come to hand ; and being o f rat her superior quality to those which have been offering for som e time past, found purchasers at from 140 to 143 Company's rupees per corge, whilst those remaining on hand are procurable at a slight reduction on the prices formerly asked. In Choppas and Bandannas we do not hear of any transactions. Opium—The second sale of the season was held on the 10th nst., with the following result : cliesls. lliphc t . I,nwest.

Prices have very slightly fluctuated, being now for Patna 1,250 Com. pony's rupees, and for Bewares 1,135 per chest. Rice—We have not heard of transactions to any extent lately, and although shipments continue, they must, we think, consist of former purchases, for which shipping orders bad been previously obtained ; we cannot, however, notice any decline in price. Ex. ports from the Ist instant, up to date arc as follows :—To Great. Britain, 39,892 mds. ; to the Mauritius, 8,600 rods. Cotton—We are again unable to report a single transaction in this market, except for local purposes, and we believe the up country marts are in an equally inactive state. Prices are, in con. sequence, almost nominal. The only shipnent since our last is one of lie bake to Chine. READY MADE, KANDAHAR. The only item of any importance from the western capital of Affghanistan, which we have been able to gather from our letters is, that the Sirdars are keeping their brother, the Amcor, at Caubul, pretty well supplied with news as to what is going on in Sinde, and had communicated to him the probability of an ad vance on the part of Sir Charles Napier. JELLALABAD. Mahomed Ukbar Khan was still in the valley of Nunghunhur, engaged in intrigues, sometimes with, and sometimes against, the Governor of Peshawur, negotiating with the Khybur chiefs, seve ral of whom he had nut at the well.known fort of Pesh Bolsk, under a pretence of a hunting excursion, and collecting stores, am.. munition, and men, for any predatory expedition which he might think it most advantageous to undertake when an opportunity might offer. He had succeeded in persuading a considerable num. bcr of the Mooltanees, who had sought refuge at Caubul, to join him, and they had been entered in the State books for the collet. tive sum of 40,000 rupees annually. PESHAWYR , The Governor, either witllth;;iew of keeping his troops employed, or because he really had grounds for believing in the probability of a surprise from the Afredees, kept his men all on the qui wive both at Jumrood and Peshawur for several consecutive days, assuring them, when they complained of the heavy duty entailed on them, that he had certain intelligence of the intention of the enemy to surprise him. The news of the death of Raja Heera Singh, which reached Peshawur in seven days, had afforded Sit dar Tej Singh great grati fication, as he looked upon the event as a punishment for the dis grace inflicted by Heera Singh on his uncle, the late Jemadar Khoosheeal Singh. The Barukzyes at Peshawur are still engaged in constant intrigues, and the chief sirdar, Peer Mahomed Khan (brother of the Caubul Ameer), has hitherto successfully evaded the peremptory summons which had been repeatedly sent to him to present himself at the Lahore Durbar. His brother, Sultan Ma. homed Khan, has not succeeded in emancipating himself from his imprisonment at large at the Sikh capital, for, disorganised as the army undoubtedly is, there is still enough manner in their madness to know that if they allowed the sirdar to escape, Peshawur would be lost to them.—Delhi Gazette. THE PUNJAUB. Of actual and late occurrences in the Punjaub since our last, we have little to record, as what has taken place Is a mere repeti. tion of what we had so frequently detailed; scenes of rapine, phut. der, and bloodshed. The younger brother of Raja Heerah Sing, named Jewaheer Singh, had come round to Jesrowta, the family seat, if we may so call it, of Raja Dhecan Singh, with the view of securing the valuables and cash deposited at that place. He succeeded in anticipating the Sikhs, who had marched from La hore on the same errand, under Sirdar Sham Singh, Attareewal. lah, and removed a large portion of the cash and jewels to the castle of his uncle Raja Goolab Singh, and then undertook to de fend the place, which he did for some time. The Sikhs finding it more difficult to reduce the fart than they had anticipated, or preferring treachery to the force of arms, sent a deputation with overtures to Mecan Juwaheer Singh, tendering him their offers of support if he would become a candidate for the office of Wuzcer to the State on certain conditions, vt hick were named; the chief of these were, that the Meean (a title of nobility next to that of rajah, and superior to that of sirdar) should pay down to the army a certain sum of money, increase their present pay and allowance by three rupees a month, and pay the whole of the state troops for three years out of his own resources, the revenues of the country in the mean time to accumulate in the state treasury. The young chief listened eagerly to the proposals of the . Sikhs, and went so far as to agree to give up the fort and admit a garrison of the Sirkaree or Govern. ment troops. Not long after he had done so, however, he was ad. vised or conceived, that treachery was intended, and, seizing an oi•portunity, fled from the place and gained Jumbo°. The Sikhs, enraged at the escape of the Meean, gave up not only his residence, but also the small town which surrounds it, to plunder, and found in their eager search after booty, near ‘20,01M1. worth of Aver con. crated. They also obtained possession of a considerable quantity of ammunition, grain, and cloth, and gave way to the roost un bridled license, plundering all the villages which owned the sway of any of Dheean Singh's family far and near. The Zurneendars fled to Jumboo, loudly calling on Raja Goolab Singh to protect them, or put them to death at once if he could not du so. At Lahore itself everything is confusion. The soldiery do just as they please. The only good result which has followed the late revolution is the reeal from their banishment of the different members of the Enid. hanwallahs, who, as the great enemies of the Dogra faction, and the chief agents in the murder of Share Singh and Dheean Singh, had been expelled the Sikh territories, and the whole of their property confiscated. They entered Lahore on the 30th of January. and were received with distinction. Prince Pechora Singh continues quiet in his jagheer of Seealkot, though deputa. tions (coal all pude', 43, e waited upon nil; and Sought to induce hut- ~'. //-- ~ 2 i -yam zr_-~ Oil Seeds—Small shipments still go forwarA to Great Britain, and would doubtless increase considerabl • i 1 freights gave way. Linseed has been in rather less lost' . • or America, but prices are maintained. Safflower, Munjeet, Ginger, and Turmeric—Safflower, none at market, and the new crop cannot be looked fer for two or three months Munjeet, no sales have been reported since our last, but prices are fully maintained. Ginger, the only inquiry is for Ame rica, for which a few purchases have been made, at about former rates. Turmeric is saleable to a moderate extent for France, at, for cleaned, from 2.2 to 2-4 per mei. Cowries, Tincal, and Cutch—Cowries continue in good demand, at for Dacca rs. 5-8 to 5-12 per md. In Tincal and Cutck we hear of no transactions. Shell•lac and Lac-dye—Since the Precursor left we are not aware of any transactions in either shell-lac or lac-dye; and prices remain as before, with but little inquiry. Jute—We have heard of but few purchases In this market lately, but exports to Great Britain continue on a moderate scale. freights for this description of goods being (comparativey speaking) low. Exports to Great Britain from Ist inst. up to date amount to 18,1 S. mds. Hides, Horns, and Tips—Hides have not been in much demand, and transactions for both England and America have been on a moderate scale, at about former rates. Buffalo horns have sold at Co.'s rs. 11 14 per hundred, but exports to Great Britain and France are light, Tips in fair demand at former prices. IMPORTS FROM EUROPE. British Cotton Piere Goods—We have scarcely any alteration to notice under this head since our last issue of the 7th Inst. Not the slightest symptom of an improving demand has been manifested; transactions have been unimportant, and prices barely main tained ; while, to add to this unpromising state of' things, we find the Government proposing to raise the rate of duty from 31 to 5 per cent. ; this, however, cannot take effect for three months, even if passed when brought before the Council. In ahirtings, but little has been done, and prices remain as before. Jacconets, both grey and white, must be quoted rather lower. Books and molls have been in moderate inquiry at about former rates. Coloured and Printed Goods—We are not aware of any fbrther reduction having been submitted to, but transactions in both prints and red cloths continue limited. Woollens—Without the slightest improvement either in demand or price. By the proposed regulation we find these goode will be more affected than any others, the rate of duty being increased from 2 to 5 per cent. White Mule Twist—sales have not been very extensive, but there has nevertheless been more inquiry of I de, and we may quote a slight advance in almost all counts. This article is the only one of importance not included in the late notification (previously referred to), the rate of duty being allowed to remain at ai per cent. Coloured Yarn—There has been but little doing under this head sin-e our last, the only sales reported being of 17 bales of Turkey red (British) at from 1 7 4 to 1 8 0 ; and 3of German dye at 112 3. The last sale of orange was effected at 12 annas per lb. Co,:per—We are still unable to notice any improvement in the demand for this metal, notwithstanding that holders have sub mitted to a further decline; and from the very limited nature of the transactions rhich have been effected our quotations are almost nominaT. We hare heard of a sale of sheeting at the lose figure of 33 s. Iron—We noticed In our last rather a better demand for com mon bar, which has continued up to she present time, and al. though operations have not been extensive, there appears to be a feeling that prices have seen their lowest, caused probably by the accounts from England. In other descriptions a moderate business has been done, at about former rates. Spelter— At the date of our last t"iis metal was not saleable to any extent even at the low figure of Co 's re. 10 4, and this continued till very lately, when holders showed more firmness, and we believe a sale has been made at 10 6. The proposed alteration in duties, if carried out, will bear heavily on this metal. Lead and Tin Plates—ln lead there has not been much doing, but pig has sold at former rates, viz., Sicca rs. 6 per rnd.We notice a sale of plates at 13 112 and also at 13 4. Beer—We are not aware of any sales since our last, and out quotations are therefore nominal. EXCHANGE. At the date of our last, and for some days subsequent, the rate for good ten months' date bills on England was Is. 100. to Is. :Oid. per rupee, and it even:seemed inclined to advance further ; but, as the time for pre,:aring remittances For the present oppor. tunity approached, It again declined, we having heard of extensive operations at Is. 1 @&d., and, although at this figure there are, we believe, at present more drawers than buyers, we do not see any reason to look for a material advance as long as the Government rate is is. 10d. WONNY MARKET. No alteration whatever has taken place under this head, and, notwithstanding that the greater portion of the opium purchased at the Government sales has been taken delivery of, Government Securities have not (as is frequently the case) declined in value, being still firmly held at our quotations. Current Value of Government Securities, Bank Stock, &c.— Transfer, Five per Cent, 21r. Sa. to 22r. pm. ; second ditto, ac. cording to No., 4r. Sa. to 7r. Sa. pm.; third ditto, 7r. to 7r.

Bom ear, Mince 1, 1845.—The business done in imports during the past month has been of the mast limited description, and our market has, with few exceptions, exhibited greater dullness and ie. activity than at any time since the opening of the season. The step recently taken by Government, of reducing their rate of ex. change for adva►ices on produce V, Is. 10d. per rupee has tended to throw fresh difficulty in the way of our import trade, by de. pressing still further the mercantile rate; and a growing scarcity of money, which now begins to be felt, will doubtless increase the embarrassment. In this unpromising posture of affairs, an Act has been published by the Legislative Council of India for raising to a material extent the duties upon all the principal articles of impor tation into the three presidencies, wiita the single exception of cotton twist and thread, the import duties upon which has been left as it stood before. The enactment is to be reconsidered (as is customary) at the first meeting of the Council after the expiration of three months from the date of its publication ; and there can be no doubt that this period will not pass away without the adoption of vigorous measures on the part of the mercantile community of India to secure the abandonment or modification of an arrangement likely to inflict such serious jnjury on the interests of trade. The Born. bay Chamber of Commerce has already held a meeting on the sub. ject, and resolved to memorialise the Legislative Council with a view to the attainment of this end. Coi.its of their petitions, we understand, go home by the present mail, to the different East India Associations and Chambers of Commerce, in order that these . . bodies may take such steps in support of the appeal, as circum stances may render necessary. Cotton Manufaetures—With the exception of the finer kinds of 36 at 40-inch gray skirtings, and 33 at 36.iuch gray Madapollams, all varieties of gray and bleached fabrics have, during the past month, been quite without demand, and were it not that holders have abstained from pressing sales, a considerable decline in prices must have taken place. Turkey red twilled cloth, fancy cambric' and muslins, and a few descriptions of prints, have been in fair request, but without improvement in prices. For all other varieties the market has been dull. Yarns—The demand, both for mule and water twist, has been very languid, and transactions extremely limited in amount. Holders, however, having remained firm, the reduction upon our last quotations has not been considerable. The stock of No. 20 mule is large, both in first and second hands, but of other numbers there is no more than a moderate supply. We hear of no sales in coloured yarns. Turkey zed is becoming scarce, and for Nos. 30 to 40 of good qualities, 110 rs. per lb. is readily obtainable. For middling sorts no more than 1 rs. is offered. We quote orange a trifle lower than last month. Woollens—We have bees apprised of no transactions in woollen cloths. The market is still greatly depressed, and prices continue unremunerating. _ _ Beer—As is usual at this season of the year, there Is little doing in beer, and sales have been confined chiefly to Allsopp's of last season's brew, at 50 rs. per hogshead. Some other brands are in the market, but are almost unsaleab!e. Spirits—We are informed of a sale early in the month of 2,500 gallons of common spirits, 1 6 per gallon. There is not much change in the prices of either gin or brandy, but all are held for higher prices consequent on the expected advance in the rate of duty. _ _ .
