Dewan had got two koss further, not far from the Jamadar's Baolee, to the small village of Kavanvala, when they were overtaken. On seeing them approach the inhabitants of the village ran off on which the fugitives entered one of the houses. This was marked by the pursuers end instantly set on fire, on which the Pundit and his companion came out. In their anxiety to possess themselves of the golden orna ments on the person of the Pundit and the Dewan, the Sikhs who were of the band cut off the ears of the former and the hands of the latter, and then cut them to pieces. The Dewan's young wife was also plundered of her ornaments by the attendant Sikhs as she was being led out to be sacri ficed on the pile of her husband's body. Who can say after this that any of Raja lleera Singh's party were allowed to escape? The Sikhs would make mincemeat of all they could have caught. There is no doubt in my mind that all had been arranged beforehand, viz., that the Raja was allowed to escape, so that his death should not occur in the town, to avoid the damage and carnage that might otherwise occur.

From the extent of the crop we were led to anticipate that the quality would prove very satisfactory, and are disappointed at finding that, with a few exceptions, the manufacturing has been much neglected in the lower provinces, whilst, on the contrary, we must confess that in Tirhoot and the upper provinces they appear to have done their best to improve the quality; and that they have succeeded will be perceived on reference to the annexed table, by which it will be found that the 11. M. Camareah and P. E. have realised better prices than some of the Kishnagur and Jessore marks. The English and French have throughout the past fortnight been in competi tion for all descriptions, which accpunts for the high prices paid, as we remark that neither the Americans nor the Mo g-da "wide their appearance in the market, and there is bat little probability of their buying largely at present rates. Orders from England would appear to vary considerably in their limits; some .being at 4s. 6d. to ss. for the best, or 140 to 150 Company's rupees, while we see other parties purchas ing freely 30 rupees above that mark.

Office, Gravesend, Nov. 29, 1844. Dispatches have been received from India and China, in anticipation of the mail which left Calcutta on the Bth ult.,—the first of the sei les' to be continued twice a month. The mail was brought to Suez by the Peninsular and Oriental Company's ship llindostan, and arrived there on the 4th instant, having left Madras, on the 13th, Ceylon on the 18th, and Aden on thp 28th ult. She brought also no less than ninety passenge?. The news by this mail is of rather more importance and interest than the overland mail has brought for some months: The Punjaub is again in commotion. A revolution broke out, and Heera Singh, the Ruja, and. Jells Pundit, have been killed. As usual, there are several accounts of the cause, &c., but the following is said to be the most authentic:—From the very ill-feeling that has existed for some time between the mother of the Maharaja and Heera Singh, an explosion was looked for, sooner or later, as icevitahle. She applied to Heera Singh for some command of trust for her brother, and was backed in her demand so warmly by the council of the army, usual on such occasions, that Beers got alarmed, and put off the matter until next day, before daylight of which he was on his way, with 800 troops, to some place in the vicinity of Jumboo. The Rhalsa troops in Lahore, on hearing this, pursued him, atel, on coming up, killed him, Jells Pundit, and several others of the Raja's ad herents. The heads of the Raja • and Jella Pundit were brought to Lahore, and carried in procession round the streets. The next day salutes were fired, and the mo ther of the..Maharaja held a durbar. The English Go vernment had, it was believed, no idea of interfering in this instance (though the time may not be far off when it will be obliged to do so), not being in the slightest bound to assist or uphold either party or Ministry. A revolution had taken place also in Nepaul, but from the circumstances it is generally believed that it was a got-up affair. The Raja had promised to abdicate in favour of his son. When the time came he refused, on which the son, assisted by some chiefs, deposed him. The new Raja is only seventeen years old, and an idiot. The Government would be compelled to interfere. The war, however, was expected to be one of diplomacy rather than of arms.

On Saturday forenoon we received intelligence of some re volutionary disturbance having taken place at the Nepaul Court, and of a consequent march of troops towards our fron tier, which had caused some precautionary measures to be taken by the military authorities at Benares. But, though we thought that the rumour which reached us was well founded, yet, as we could not obtain it in a form satisfactory enough for publication in that evening paper, we resolved to see what another day should bring forth, the rather as we wore anxious to send home the correct intelligence in our " overland." We have not been disappointed in our expec tation of obtaining a correct version of the business, as far as it has gone, and our readers may rely on the following state of the case, namely :—that the Nepaul Raja has abdg cated in favour of his son, and the troops that were en thi -march towards our frontier have returned; and all is at present quiet again at Nepaul. But, although there may have been an appearance of force in bringing about the ab dication, we have reason to believe that this was merely a part of the arrangement; for the son is quite an idiot, and, of course, totally incapable of either compelling an abdica tion or of carrying on affairs, now that he is at the head of them ; and he must, therefore, be a mere tool in the hands of his father and the Minister. It will be seen, then, that the present state of affairs will not be allowed to last, what ever the ex-King's scheme may have been, for it cannot possibly meet the approval of our Government, which will accordingly interfere to either restore the status quo, or, at all events, to put an end to the puppetry of the present state of things. Depend upon it, it will be promptly and vigorously dealt with. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. We have to announce a revolution in the Government of Nepaul. The Raja has been deposed, and his son, a youth of about 16 or 17 years of age, raised to supreme power. It seems that a pledge had been given by the father to retire in favour of his son, the fulfilment of which promise he delayed from time to time, till the young man, backed by Mautubur Singh, a powerful party of the chiefs, and an army of ne mean magnitude, peremptorily insisted on its performance. The Raja still firm in his refusal, his son threatened to march on Renares, and had actually started with about 6,000 followers, when his father overtook him and induced him to retrace his steps. The result was that the abdication was forced upon the Raja—the young man was elevated to the guddee, and there our intelligence stops. As Mau tubur Singh appears to have been a prominent actor in this affair, it may not be uninteresting if we remind our readers of his somewhat eventful career. He is con • netted with Beem Sen, the late celebrated Ghoorka warrior and statesmen, one of the leaders of the war party in 1815. The vicissitudes which he has undergone within the last few years would make no bad foundation for an eastern romance. bispatched to Calcutta in 1835-6 as Envoy Extraordinary from his Court, he became for some weeks the special lion of the Ditch, and, the object of his mission accomplished, was dismissed with all honour to his native mountains. There faction had been busy during his absence, and the Ministry of the day were ejected through the machinations of the then Ranee and some of her Brahmin advisers, with the usual exhibition of ferocious cruelty common to an oriental revolution. Mautubur Singh was almost the only one of the males of his devoted family that escaped death. Crossing our frontier, he made his way to the Sutlej, with the intention of passing into the Punjaub, on the plea of having certain funeral rites to perform over the grave of his father, who was killed in action with the Sikhs when the Nepaulese endeavoured to establish themselves, about 1810, at the f oo t of the Kooloo hill s . Th e b o d y of the slain chief was interred where he fell, at Jovalu Mookhee, which had additional sanc tity in the eyes of Mautubur Singh, owing to its being a teerut, or place of pilgrimage, famous throughout Hindostan for its burning well. Neither religion, however, nor filial piety was allowed to have any weight at the time in further ing the views of the expatriated Ghoorka, as political exi gencies existed which rendered it highly inexpedient that a Nepaulese officer, who might become the secret agent of his state—known at that time to be hostilely disposed towards our Government—should establish himself at the Court of Lahore, even although the latter Power had long professed the sincerest friendship for us. Refused again and again per mission to cross the Sutlej by our authorities on the frontier, Mautubur Singh, whose resources began to fail him, and whose position was desperate, left our territories in defiance of prohibition, and deceiving an incautious political agent at Loodiana, threw himself, as a fugitive, at the feet of Runjeet Singh. Negotiations were fairly set on foot to procure the rendition of the Nepaulese. Runjeet, as much from a point of honour as from motives of policy, maintained that he would be disgraced for ever in Hindostan did he give up, for some time at least, the fugitive who sought the shelter of his roof. This was at the time of the • march of our army into Affghanistan, and it was not till several months after wards that Mautubur Singh accepted a stipend from our Government and came to reside at Umballah. Matters meanwhile, in Nepaul, had taken a turn more favourable for his interests. The remnant of his party was restored to royal favour, and he was enabled to return to his native country, to become in his turn a principal agent in effecting the revolution we have announced. rill nisi: sutlerjoi• net tertaiat ED.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. REPLY. TO " JACK FROST'S " LETTER Dear Jack—We consider we cannot do better Than make a reply to your very kind letter. You say that you mean to continue the cold ; Now this is a pity—nay, think us not bold. You must recollect, Jack, that it's very near March, And time for the sun•rays to gild the blue arch. The primrose is waiting to put on his bloom, And the daisy is anxious to leave his dark tomb; And thousands of persons are longing to don The lovely spring-garments of MOSES and SON. You tell us our garbs must, at once, be increas'd To a mighty extent—twenty thousand, at least. Nov here we would beg to inform you, dear Jack, That we never forget to remember the back. With a stock such as ours, we've not any reason To fear the most sudden returns of the season. In the middle of summer our mart can afford Warm garments for customers living abroad ; So you see, Mr. Frost, if you still should persist In chilling the air with your cold and your mist, We've warm winter-garments in boundless supplies, Which happily spare us a sudden surprise. And now, with warm thanks for your hints, Master Jack, And hoping, sincerely, you'll soon turn your back, We beg to remain, as we always have done, Your obedient servants,—E. MOSES and SON. IMPORTANT ANNOU N CEM EN T I The Public are specially informed that, during the re-erection of E. MOSES and SON'S premises in Aldgate, the entrance to their Establishment is only at 154, Minories. A new work, entitled " THE COMMERCIAL PHENOMENON," with full directions for Self-Measurement, on application, will be forwarded post free. SLIEERNEES, FEB. 22.—The Vulture, first class steam frigate, was commissioned on Tuesday by Captain John M`Dougall(b. 1836). This fine new frigate is of 1,160 tons and 430-horse power. Seamen and gunners have been draughted from the Excellent for her, and a detachment of the Royal Marine Artillery, consisting of one subaltern, one ser geant, and 12 gunners, are waiting to embark in her at Portsmouth.

The Trafalgar, 120, Captain Martin, flag of Vice-Admiral Sir John Chambers White, Commander-in-Chief, is equipping but very slowly, being crowded with dockyard hands. The Waterloo, 120, has been masted this week. PORTSMOUTH, FEB. 23.--The Rodney, 92, Captain Collier, C. 8., has been taken into the basin to be fitted for sea. Her masts were taken out on Saturday. A recommendation having been sent to the Admiralty by the dockyard au thorities for the fore and main masts of this fine ship to be removed and stepped further aft, an order to that effect was communicated on Friday. She will consequently have to be docked in order to undergo the required alteration. It is a great pity the defect of the muting of this ship - was not made known to the Admiralty when she was paid off up wards of twelve months ago—she could then have been altered without so much loss of time, and causing so great an outlay as will now be the case, as she is wanted to join the line-of-battle-ship trial squadron early. The foremast will be removed, we believe, some thirty inches, and the mainmast about twenty inches further aft, which will make her a much easier ship on a wind in a head sea. The above alteration will not appear a very considerable one to the uninitiated, but it will require all the decks to be altered, and other contingent reformations. There is no doubt but that the change will much improve the ship, as in deed we believe it would almost all our men-oftevar, great and small. An accident occurred on board this ship on Wednesday to two riggers, whilst gammoning the bow sprit. One of them, named Benham, had his jaw dreadfully fractured, and the other was knocked down and much in jured, by the breaking of the gammoning, which is made of chain, instead of rope, as in former years. The latter is infinitely superior to the former, both in point of safety, ease of working, and other advantageous features. Benham lies in a most dangerous state, having been unable ti take food through the regular channel. It is much feared lock-jaw will ensue. 1 10 6/ . .ne PLlOv I,e Du ero ° ° e;ill Per The demand for nearly all qualities of saltpetre has conti nued throughout the month for both the English and Ame rican markets, but in some instances purchases have been made on rather more favourable terms; we have also to no tice a few transactions lately for France, the exports to which place, however, continue on the decrease. isit 4 iler w Pe r 'oal 0 ng Exports from the Ist instant up to date are as follows, viz. :—To Great Britain, 951 maunds ; France, 4,850 maunds. The exports of rum to Great Britain in December were heavy, having exceeded 70,000 gallons, but the only trans action we have to notice in this market is a small one, at 8 annas ,per gallon. The exports from the Ist instant up to date amount to 4,140 gallons. Several parcels of Cossimbazar November bund raw silk have arrived since our last, the quality of which being very superior, and the home accounts for that description being comparatively favourable, it found a ready sale at our quota tions. Large quantities of Harrypaul and Radnagore of the rainy bund are still on hand, in consequence of the native holders being unwilling to submit to a reduction correspond ing to the prices obtainable in England, and transactions have been on a very limited scale ; but, as the new bund must shortly. arrive freely, we think many parties must be obliged to reaTilise„ The exports from the Ist instant up to date op— to Great Britain, 184 maunds; North America, 12 maunds. The demand for all descriptions of silk piece goods con tinues extensive, and parcels, as they arrive, are readily taken at about former rates for Great Britain, to which part ship ments of CorahS continue to increase, whilst Choppas and Bandannas show a slight falling off. The exports from the Ist inst up to date are as follows, viz. :—to Great Britain, Corahs, 13,037 pieces ; Choppas and Bandannas, 1,304 pieces. North America, 510 pieces.

We deeply regret to announce the demise of the above re spected nobleman, which took place on Saturday evening, at a quarter before nine o'clock, at his Lordship's mansion in Grosvenor- square. The deceased William Wellesley Pole, Earl of Morning ton, Viscount Wellesley, of Dougan Castle, and Baron Mor nington, of Mornington, county Meath, and Baron Mary borough, of Maryborongh, Queen's County, in the peerage of the United Kingdom, G.C.H. and P.C., Custos Rattle r= of Queen's County, Constable of Maryborough Castle, and Captain of Deal Castle, was born on the 20th of May, 1763, and in 1784 married the eldest daughter of Admiral Forbes, granddaughter of the third Earl of Granard, and on her mother's side granddaughter also of the third Earl of Essex. The deceased assumed the surname of Pole, on succeeding to the estates of his cousin William Pole, Esq., of Ballyfin, in the Queen's County. As the Ho nourable William Wellesley Pole, he succeeded his bro ther the Duke of Wellington, then Sir Arthur Wellesley, in the Chief Secretaryship of Ireland, and afterwards for a short period filled the office of Chancellor of the Exchequer for that part of the United Kingdom. In 1817 and 1818; on the issue of the new silver coinage of George 111., lie held the office of Master of the Mint, which he rendered semi. what remarkable by the circumstance of having had stamped within the shield of the coin his own initials "W. W. P." During the Administration of the Earl of Liverpool, and subsequently, he also filled at different periods the offices of Lord Privy Seal, Postmaster-General, and Master of the Buck-hounds. Sickness still prevails among the Highlanders at Sukkata They were to be removed immediately. There had been rather a serious disturbance at Hong- Kong in consequence of a registration decree issued by Government, which was resisted by the Europeans, who in an address to Council styled it as " iniquitous, arbi trary, unconstitutional, and despotic." A. good deal of bickering was the result between Government and the Europeans, as the former refused to answer the address. Three thousand Chinese left the island, and at last the Government deemed it fit "to amend and modify" the registration ordinance. There were still, however, some articles in the " modified" decree which were objection able; for instsnce, that of obliging all Chinese vessels to report themselves immediately, and to register their passengers within twenty-four hours. The consequence of this is, that while Macao is crowded with junks, few or none have come to Hong-Kong. Most of the Chinese who WI the island had, however, returned. The report that the Emperor had abdicated in favour of a near re lation is totally without confirmation. The removal of Colonel Outram is altogether de nied by the Delhi Gaz of the 24 t h u l t i mo. I t iatde scribes, " on competent authority," the act to have been purely voluntary on his part, as from the beginning he had undertaken the duty of inquiring into the causes of the disturbances in the Mahratta country as merely a temporary affair, having been promised by his own Go vernment some lucrative position in the Baroda Presi. dency, and that he decline d the office of permanent Eu rop( an agent of the Kolapore country, offered him by Sir G. Arthur, subject, of couse, to the approval of the Supreme Government, The Bombay papers speak of his going to Europe by this mail The news by the last mail of the honours conferred on the late Governor, Lord Ellenborough, had been received with delight by the army, and had met with great cen sure on the other side by those unfriendly to him. The non-arrival of the ships Runnymede and Briton, the former from London with recruits, and the latter from Sydney with a detachment of her Majesty's 80th Regiment, and nine o ffi cers, together with all the mess plate, is causing great uneasiness, and great fears are entertained for their safety. The Company's steamer Enterprise had been sent in search of them. Some of the, tx..Asneers of Sinde proceeded by the Hindostan io'Europe. The first opium sale was held on the 6th ult. ; the prices were lower than was expected ; the average of Patna being about 1,235 rupees, and the Benares 1,067. The largest sale of indigo ever held in India took place the day before the departure of the mail. 1,683 chests were sold, and the prices were uncommonly good. Prince Waldemar, of Prus s i a , had reached Calcutta a few days before the departure of the mail. The Precursor steam -ship, from London, arrived at Calcutta on the 25th of December. Her average speed throughout the voyage from Southampton was 8i knots an hour. __ _ READY MADE. £ s. d. Beaver Taglionis ........ Ditto Chesterfields . .

The Fantome, 16, Commander Sir F. Nicholson, Bart., arrived from Sheerness this morning to complete her crew, and receive advance wages. She saluted the flag of Admiral Rowley, and brought up at Spithead. The Comus, 18, Commander Thompson, arrived about two hours after the Fantome, saluted, and anchored at Spithead. The Eagle, 50, Captain Martin, arrived from Sheerness on Wednesday, to complete her crew (of whom she is short up wards of 150), and receive advance wages. Captain Rowley went alongside in the Admiralty yacht, on the arrival of this fine frigate, and took out her capta►n in his cot and con veyed, him to the official mansion of his uncle, the Com mander-in-Chief, Sir C. Rowley, Bart., where he remains confined by illness, brought on by over exertion at the fire in Chatham ,Dockyard. The Royalist, 10, Master-Commander Parkinson, was at Singapore, last from Port Essington, on the 19th November. Three of her commanding officers having died within twelve months (Lieutenant Chetwode, and. Acting Lieutenants King sley and Wells), and no official communication having been made to the vessel for upwards of a year and a half, the Second Master, Mr. Parkinson, was compelled to promote himself to keep the pendant flying. Her masts being both sprung, and her gear in a very dilapidated condition, Mr. Parkinson took her without orders to Singapore, where at the time our letter left he was waiting a reply from Rear- Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane, the Commander-in• Chief, to some dispatches sent to that officer explaining the woful condition and distress of the vessel. The garrison of Port Essington are anxiously looking out for a relief, having been in their present quarters six years. Lieutenant Graham Ogle was at Hong-Kong awaiting the arrival of the Royalist to take the command. Chests. Highest. Lowest. Average.

A numerous and influential meeting of the Conservative interest of East Kent was held on Saturday, at the Fountain Inn, Canterbury, to consider of a proper person for the repre sentation of the division, in consequence of the retirement of the Right Hon. Sir Edward Knatchbull, Bart., and Sir Wm. 0. Hammond, Esq., of St. Albans•court, Noningten, was unanimouly called to the chair. The object of the meeting having been stated by him, Sir EnwanD DERIN.; proposed that William Deedes, Esq., of Sandling Park, should be requested to offer himself as a candidate. The worthy Baronet expatiated on the talent, industry, and known business habits of Mr. Deedes, and re commended him in the strongest terms to the support of the meeting.

The Cyclops steam-frigate, Captain Lapidge, at Tarbert, has hoisted the ensign for volunteers for the navy. The Lynx brigantine has also hoisted a similar ensign at Dingle. The Vindictive, 50, Captain Seymour, flag of Vice-Admiral Austen, is rapidly completing crew and fittings alongside her hulk. Her topgallant masts are swayed up, and she presents a serviceable appearance. The Vengeance, 84, is expected to be put in commission shortly. The fortifications are being repaired and strengthened. The old gun carriages on the King's Bastion have been re placed by new, and eight 32-pounders, instead of four, mounted. Blockhouse Fort, commanding the mouth of the harbour, will shortly display a double instead of a single (as formerly) row of teeth, and we believe it is contemplated to remove the old victualling store, upon which stands the old telegraph on the platform, in order to extend the Platform Battery to the Round Tower. Works will also be erected on Southsea-common, between the Castle and the King's Bastion. Sir BROOK BRIDGES, of Goodneston Park, seconded the motion, and it was unanimously adopted. Mr. DEEDES, in a speech of some length, expressed his readiness to accept the invitation so hanthomely made him, avowed his attachment to the Protestant Establishment in Church and State, and on the subject of the corn-laws, did not hesitate to declare his determination to oppose any abate ment of the existing duties. The opinion of the meeting was decidedly that Mr. Deodea would be returned without opposition, and the election is fixed for Monday, the 3d March. Mr. Deedes is well known in Kent as a very efficient pub lic man. He has for some years filled the onerous situation of Chairman of the East Kent Quarter Sessions, to the great satisfaction of the division, and will in all probability be found a very useful county Member. His family has long been seated in the neighbourhood of Hythe, and his ances tors have represented that borough in Parliament at different periods of our histor7 since 1678. He married the daughter of Edward Taylor, Esq., of Bifrons, in this county, and by that marriage is connected with the Lords Skelmersdale and Stanley. _ ri doe , t iehi• o pi Ic e' Lifr In hides transactions have been limited since our last, and prices have rather a downward tendency for almost all de scriptions.

We find in the Mauricien an account of the recent occu pation of the Island of St. Paul by the French. The situa tion of that volcanic island is well known to most Indian readers, many of whom have passed very near it in their outward passage. We were puzzled to guess the object which had led our ambitious neighbours to occupy so uninviting a spot, possessed of no harbour, scarcely, indeed, affording shelter or anchorage, and too barren for cultivation. The French have notoriously a rage for colonization ; but there are so many unoccupied spots more desirable, which they might colonize if they pleased, that it appeared an unac countable whim to convert such an island into a dependency of the Grande Nation. It appears, however, by the report before us that it is a private speculation, not a national en terprise. Certain Frenchmen have discovered that the islands of St. Paul and Amsterdam are an excellent fishing station, and that the surrounding seas abound in cod fish of the best, quality. They have taken 1,200 fish daily, and expect with' their present means to increase their catch to 2,000. The object is to supply the Bourbon market, salt cod being the principal food of the negroes in that colony. According to the account before us, the self-constituted French Governor has already warned off an American who desired to fish near the island, or, to use the terms of the French editor, he only departed, in consequence of the representations made to him by the Governor. The M'auricien doubts how the French Government will regard the establishment at St. Paul, which will only interfere with their own Newfoundland fishery, a trade supported by heavy bounties, and, therefore, we may reasonably suppose, a special favourite. It will, therefore, be a question whether the hatred of "perfidious Albion," which is gratified by colonizing, will supersede the power of class interests, and induce the French to sanction this unautho rised settlement. In a military view, it is utterly worthless, as there is no possibility of securing even a single vessel against the attack of cruisers; and, consequently, it will not be useful in preying upon British commerce, although its position so near the track of outward-bound ships would otherwise make it an important possession in time of war.

" The authors of the ' Silent Friend' seem to be thoroughly con versant with the treatment of a class of complaints, which are. we fear, too prevalent in the present day. The perspicuous style in which this book is written, and the valuable hints It conveys to those who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state, cannot fall to recommend to it a careful perusal."—Era.

By letters which have arrived in town this week, it is stated that a complete, and happily, a blood less revolution had taken place at Ichaboe, at the date of the last dispatches. It seems that in the operations of the first six months after the island was visited, a host of agents or supercargses established themselves on the island, erecting tents and temporary residences. In a short time they marked off the ground, and laid claim to all the principal parts as their own bona fide property, on behalf of themselves and their employers at home, erect ing loading stages, and selling pits at extravagant prices. Till the revolution no opposition was made to this m. de of procedure, and the consequence was, that ultimately no ship, unless the captain submitted to these land shark%, could get a shovel's breadth of ground to land upon. When an agent had a ship loading at his stage, he pur posely kept dallying with the work, until another ship from his house at home would arrive to take up the berth, although there might be three hundred other ships surrounding the little island, and waiting for access to the beach. Squabbles and small fights were of continued occurrence, and increased until a sloop of war arrived to preserve order. Her command', r remained till he be- lieved his presence was no longer necessary. On the following day the demurring shipmasters held a meeting, and it was very soon resolved that a general reform should be made instanter. There were about 300 ships at moorings, and each ship agreed to send her proportion of men ashore with guns and bayonets, mustering altogether about 1,400 men. Supercargo town was attacked, and its entire population put to the rout at the point of the bayonet, and driven directly into the sea up to their chins, and the discomfited landlords there and then made to swear, that from that time henceforth they had relinquished all right and title to the soil of Ichaboe, after which declaration they were permitted to return to their respective places of abode. This sum mary proceeding produced en entire change in the civil affairs of the island, and ships are now loading at the rate of 50 tons a day after lying idle for months.— Greenock Observer. THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT.—We were indebted to the spirited proprietors of The Sun for the receipt of two copes of that journal for Friday evening early on Saturday morning, containing about ten columns of the speech of Sir R. Peel, and Parliamentary proceedings of the same evening. —Leicestershire Mercury. RAPID REPORTING.—On Saturday evening last we were favoured with a copy of The Sun newspaper of Fri day, containing a report, extending to ten columns, of Sir R. Peel's financial statement. Sir Robert did not commence until nearly five o'clock on Friday afternoon, and soon after two o'clock on Saturday the paper, containing his whole speech arrived in Carlisle, and the substance of the speech was issued from this office to our subscribers.--Carlisle Journal. (From the Indian papers.) THE REVOLUTION IN LAHORE. (From the Calcutta Englishman.) We are in receipt of Ferozepore letters of the 24th and 25th ult., and they contain somewhat different versions of the Ministerial revolution at Lahore. One of them confirms the account we have already gives, and which we know to be the true one, though the other gives us a detail, from a French letter received from Lahore, which states that Heera. Singh is only a prisoner. The particulars now before us are, that Heera Singh, accompanied by Jells Pundit and a few followers, left Lahore for Jumboo,llavifig expressed himself disgusted with the insatiable demands o f the soldier y (what else could he expect ?), and having quarrelled with his own party ; but that he was followed by Jewahir Singh (Dhuleep's maternal uncle) and others, and was overtaken at Shah Durra, a place about 14 miles from Lahore, and was there the ascendant, he will bo glad to entertain European officers t a ken prisoner. It is also added, that as Jewahir Singh is in again ; and that an Englishman calling himself Maitland, who admitted that he was a deserter from the horse artillery at Umballah, had presented himself at the derbar, and was ordered to be detained till a reference could be made to the British Government. This man may probably be one of those who went off with Ensign Moseley, or possibly that unfortunate young man himself, for we believe that Govern ment are well informed of that party's having gone into the Punjaub. Except that Heera Singh and the others whom we mentioned on Friday were certainly slain, and that Lena Singh is now the Minister, and not Jewahir Singh, the above brought in yesterday by a detail is very likely correct. . rewarded by the gift of a jagheer (From the Delhi Gazette.) DECEMBER 23. first before the Lahore gate, It is now certain the heads of Jell& Pundit and of Ileera Singh tewa in nat htsl t ry h ee e eely e a n d i s n evening were e fo y re e s l t a e s r t d . ay That carr i e o d f Ouse of Kurruek Singh, and a oN h f l a eLa i a n g Sohun u o w l p i he u ee s n Singh. wasi li aess and will be continued to-day. about in a great procession by the Sikhs, and were then sus gapenrendadsteufdab isfroe subsequently se e n n t e l general heldlb before ee e rt c dh t a ic 1: guar d s placed to prevent their being The reason for the heads being exhibited before the house of Kurruck Singh is, that it is now occupied by Sirdar Jewahir Singh, and was to have been the scene of his own death had reported formerly, werea the Raja been able to compass the event. The bodies of Raja Heera Singh and Pundit Jells were left on the ground where they fell, and with the ex ceptionburnt. The bodies of Meean Lab Singh and Nicke Dewan Bowed to remain Dewanund (son of Delbagra) were brought into Lahore. Tliis m a t d h e a up th t e h the heads five b e e f s. d t h s e hanging to the bodies, and that of Sohun Singh, though not actually received, was hourly expected. The body of Meean Lab Singh has, I am told, been sent off to the place where Gooroo Bhae Bheer Singh was killed at his instigation, to be exhibited there in the same manner as that of a highway robber and murderer. The body of the junior Moonshee De wanund was burnt yesterday, and with it a young and hand some wife of 14 years of age was sacrificed. He was only 18 years of age, and distinguished himself in a signal manner when defending himself and his master for their lives. How many poor innocent women will not be put to death with the garments of the unfortunates who fell in the battle, as a terrible offering at the shrine of the abominable practice of Suttee, as it is still all powerful in the hills, though here, thank God, these horrible sacrifices are becoming much less frequent. It is reported to me upon credible authority that Meean Lab Singh, seeing the turn affairs were taking in the battle, attempted to fly from the scene, but was instantly pursued. Seeing no alternative he took off his golden arm lets and threw them to his pursuers, praying for his life; but nothing would stop them. He then threw down his sword and shield, and begged for mercy. He was told that this was no time for mercy; o n which he gathered courage and defied them so as to be put quicker to death, praying, how ever, that they would have pity on his remains, and have them decently burnt. This happened a koss beyond the spot where Raja Heera Singh fell. The Ptuidit Jells and the EAST INDIAN SUGAR. Fort William, Home Department, Dec. 28, 1844. The Governor-General in Council is pleased to direct the publication of the following resolution : Resolution.—lay a resolution of the Government of hulls, dated the 21st of October, 1842, the privilege of importing sugar into Great Britain at the lower rate of duty fixed by the Act of Parliament 6 and 7 William IV., c. 26, was ex tended to sugar the growth of the Tenasserim provinces, a previous resolution which excepted these provinces from the operation of the prohibition contained in section 3 of the Act being then rescinded. The Government of India authorised this measure upon the representations of the officer, at that time Commissioner of the Tenasserim provinces, which were to the effect that the local manufacture of sugar was equal to the local consumption, and that foreign sugar might be easily and effectually excluded. Inquiries have since tended to show that these represent*. tions were made upon insufficient grounds, and the Governor General in Council is now in possession of information which satisfies him, not only that foreign sugar continues to be largely imported into the Tenasserim provinces, but that it is at present necessary that it should be imported to meet the full demand for local consumption. The Governor. General in Council, therefore, seeing that the conditions on which alone the Act of Parliament allows the importation of East India sugar at the reduced duty can not for the present be fulfilled as respects the Tenasserim pro vinces, is pleased to rescind the resolution of the Govern ment of India, dated the 21st of October, 1842, and under the power vested in him by the 3d section of the Act of the 6th and 7th of William IV., cap. 26th, to direct that it shall now again be lawful to import into the Tenasserina provinces foreign sugar, or sugar the growth of any British possessions into which foreign sugar can be legally imported. G. A. BUSHBY, Secretary to the Goverment of India. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Price Current.) CALCUTTA JAN. 7. We can scarcely notice the slightest alteration inour markets for either imports or exports since our last issue of the 20th ultimo, although the late accounts from home were in several instances of a somewhat discouraging nature with regard to the latter ; and, notwithstanding the advices re ceived of a rise in price for almost all articles of British ex port to this country (particularly metal 4, we are still unable to quote any corresponding improvement here, although holders of late seem disposed to show more firmness. Money, for all commercial purposes. continues abundant, as may be seen from the low ruling of our exchange on Eu rope, notwithstanding the extensive shipments of produce that are going forward. After the delivery of the letters on the 23d ultimo our market in indigo became very active, without the accounts from home having any effect on prices here, or if any. it was in favour of sellers. The highest price paid in February last was, 175 Company's rupees at auction for one of the first marks, whereas the J A S—M has lately sold at an average of 178 Company's rupees, so that we may hereby conclude that we are now from 10 to 15 rupees above last year's Fe bruary rates. Maunds. We have up to date,— 12,000 chests sold by public auction, or say 42,000 8,000 chests sold by private contract, or say 28,000 And parcels shipped or to be shipped on plan tern' account T0ta1......... 82,550 We have little change to notice in the value of any sta ples under the head of British Cotton Piece Goods since the 20th ult. The disposition to hold until higher prices are obtainable, or a more favourable rate of exchange is esta blished; continues ; and, as the season is a quiet one, transac tions on the whole have been limited. Shirtings have again sold to a fair extent, and bleached cloths have realised some what better rates; grays remain without change. White jaconets of low and medium qualities have advanced from two to three annas, and the tendency is in favour of further improvement. Grays are steady at about the rates current last mouth. Lappets have sold to a moderate extent, with out material alteration in value. The demand for book and mull muslins is almost entirely restricted to the coarser descriptions. A few of the Caubul dealers have come into the market, and well adapted st i les of prints are engaging attention. Stout Turkey red twills continue in request, and we hear of several sales at full prices. In plain cloths we have no alter ation to notice. Imports of all kinds, in December, amounted to 1,000 cases. The demand for woollens continues limited, and sales can not be effected at other than very discouraging prices. Stocks are still on the increase. Imports in December were 479 bales. This is usually a quiet season for yarn, and sales have been limited ; Nos. 40 and 50 :are relatively in the best demand ; 20 and 30 show a slight decline, and 70 to 100 are less eagerly inquired for. Imports in December were 3,077 bales, or 1,490,0321 b. A few sales of red coloured yarn are reported at 1-10 to 1.12 for German dye, and 1-7 to 1-9 for British; but in other colours we are not aware of any transactions. Imports in December were as follows : Bales. lb. Red Orange Green There has been scarcely anything doing in copper lately, h te t ly e , the demand being very moderate, and holders, lookin g a accounts from England, not seeming inclined to f or ce sales Prices, however, have rather a downward ter s ld ee e a nc r y t; t he pees, and prin cipal sales of tile having been at 3 sheathing at about 34 Company's rupees.l-12 Imports aD e • cember were as follows, viz.:— ... 2,586 l a r u n d i n .

Lead has declined in price, sales of pig stamped having been madetat from 5-14 to 6-2, and of sheet at 6-7 per maund. White and red lead are also procurable under our last quota tions. Imports in December were : Pig Lead 6,377 maunds. LAMBETH PHILANTHROPIC SOCIETY.—The per formances at the Surrey Theatre on Wednesday are tor the benefit of the Lambeth Philanthropic Sbeiety.

MAHOGANY AND ROSEWOOD VENEERS.—A ciuestion of some importance to the importers of foreign furni ture woods has recently b een ra i se d b y t h e Customs' officers at Hull. A parcel of veneers of mahogany and rosewood, cut from the log, were imported into that port from Hamburgh, which the revenue officers placed under detention, as being contrary to the navigation laws—i.e., as being the produce of Asia, Africa, or America, and imported into this country from Europe; the logs in this instance having been imported into Germany from the place of growth, and there cut or sawn into the very fine thin slices of wood used in the making of cabinet furniture, and known by the trade as veneers. The officers, however, considered that this operation performed in Haniburgh did not constitute a manufacture, inasmuch as the wood retained its original state, having been simply sawn or cut from the log, and would require polishing, I"chhletr previously to being fit for use for the purpose to wh i c h .4 npplied. It has, however, been decidedtk :3 par es t4 u l Treasury order of the 234 of February, 18 33, th e pa r. of the veneers as t he mai entitled to the admission e 'mported, althoug the of the country f ivra which thee' w er e ' rocluce of either of the in its state the e p wood itself other quarters of the g l o be.
