From the Upper Provinces the accounts are fa vourable.—Abundance of rain, and the crops of all de scription s very luxuriant.

The crop is more than one-half already housed, and manufacturing- going on as quickly as circumstances will permit. Of last y ear ' s crop, of which about 4,000 to 5,000 matunk 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 Auc , ust 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 eNeecilingly low r a t e o f ex . change, and freights being easier, in consequrnee of a considerable increase to our tonnage in the river, by nutac rous arrivals. ]tom.—Large shipments continue to be made fur the English market, at prices from 6. 1 5 to 7 annas per gallon, proof.

Accounts have been received from Bombay of the 17th of September, being twenty days later than by the last arrival, and from China to the 29th of July. Ttie papers possess little interest. In Sinde some skirmishes had taken place, but they were of a very trifling character. Captain MACKENZIE had been successful in an attack upon some marauding Be looches. Advices from Cabal mention that an engage ment had taken place on the 2d August between AMMAR KHAN and AUBDOOL SUMMUND, in which the former came off the victor, capturing among his prisoners two generals of the enemy. The loss on the side of the people of Cabul was estimated at 3,000, while that of the enemy was stated to be 5,000, besides prisoners. The papers announce the death of Lieutenant MACKINTOSH, late Aide-de-Camp to Lord ELLEN.. BOROUGH, and subsequently in charge of the Mysore princes. The gallant officer died from the effects of fever. Accounts from China state that disturbances had again taken place at Canton. The English last year repaired the walls of the Company's garden, which had been broken down at the fire in 1842. They put on a gate, and were in the habit of walking, playing at quoits, and otherwise amusing themselves. On the 15th of July the Chinese endeavoured to force themselves into the garden, but were opposed. Upon this they threw brickbats, and broke down the gate, compelling the Englishmen to take refuge in a boat, in which they made their escape to the Con sulate. On the following evening a party of Chinese went armed with brickbats, and attempted to take possession of the other garden. Resistance being offered, they commenced an indiscriminate attack upon all the foreigners who came within their reach. Several American gentlemen immediately armed themselves, and drove them from the front of the factories. Still continuing to throw brickbats, they were fired upon, and one man killed, and an other wounded in the arm, which ended the affair for the day. The English and American Consuls applied to the Chinese authorities for a sufficient force to pro tect the factories, and a message was sent to the Ame rican man-of-war at the Bogue to request assistance. Intelligence of the 21st informs us that no further rioting had taken place, nor was any likely'to occur at present. There were eighty-four English merchantmen, most of them of large burden, at Hong-Kong, Whampoa, Macao, Amoy, Chusan, Ningpo, and Shanghae. The number of American merchantmen was sixteen ; of French one ; four Portuguese, nine Spanish, one Danish, one Swedish, one Belgian, and one Siamese. The English ships of war were thus distributed :—At Hong-Kong, the Agincourt, 72, Captain W. H. Bruce, bearing the flag of Rear- Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane, C. 8.; the Minden, hospital-ship, Captain Quin; the Sapphire, Master- Commanding Fittock ; the Spiteful, steamer, Com mander W. Maitland; the Vixen, steamer, Commander Giffard ; the Hon. Company's steamer Proserpine, Commander Hough, R.N. At Whampoa, the Wolverine, 16, Commander H. G. Morris ; the Pelican, 16, Commander P. Justice. At Chusan : the Castor, 36, Captain Charles Graham; Wolf, 18, Commander A. Vyner ; the Honourable Company's steamer Medusa, Commander H. H. Hewit, R.N. At Amoy :—the Plover, surveying ship, Commander R. Collinson ; the Young Hebe, schooner, Lieutenant Commanding J. Bates. The French frigate Cleopatra , 50, Captain Cecille, was at Hong-Kong; the Alcmene, 32, Captain Duplax, at Canton ; the American frigate Brandywine, Commodore Parker, was at Macao; the St. Louis, 20, Commander Tilton, was at Whampoa; the Perry, 14, Commander Keith, was at Hong- Kong. The Portuguese brig of war, Tejo, was at Macao. The latest dates at Hong-Kong from England were :—England, eth May ; United States 9th April ; Sydney, 3d May. At Calcutta mosey was in great abundance. Government securities had risen, in consequence, and the Five per Cent. New Loan had changed hands at 10 per cent. premium. Exchange was heavy, at 11.10}5., or a small fraction above, at ten months' date. Commercial matters in China were dull. Cotton yarn continued depressed, as before. The iron market was over sup ;:aied. Opium was firm, being supported by the smallness of supply. In rice prices had given way. In tea very little doing. The second and third crops are said to have been destroyed by the late rains. Rates of Exchange on London, at six months' sight, 4s. 3d. per dollar ; Government bills, at thirty days' sight, 4s. 10d., in little request. Freight to London and Liverpool, 3/. per ton of fifty feet. The Hindostan arrived at Suez on the 24th of September, with a considerable cargo of silk goods, and about fifty passengers; she sailed from Calcutta on the 18th of September. THE PUNJAUB. (From the Beisgal Hurkant.) AUTHENTIC NEWS FROM PESHAWAR, JULY 18.—The soldiers of Peshawur have conducted themselves of late in anything but an orderly way. They seem to have cast off all restraint, which their dread of the principal authorities hail produced in them ; and make little of plundering and ravaging the hushandmen and their farms. In one of its mischievous excursions, a body of these uneurbed pillagers assaulted, with brutal cruelty, a domestic of Sirdar Peer Mahomed Khan, for offering re sistance to their escape with some of his property which they had robbed him of ; but, notwithstanding, the free b .oters did not get off scot-free this once, their flight was arrested b 7 the timely interference of a large body of the Sirdar s servants ; they were presented to Tej Singh for trial, and at his sentence now lie in prison. It has been publicly prohibited to resort to compulsory means to obtain the services of a 11ussulman. Sultan Mohammed has sent his family to Khohout—a removal, which is looked upon by many as a preliminary step to his inciting the people of this place to an insurrection. Meean Übdool Ryman not having been discovered, Synd Mahomtned was called upon to explain matters to Akbar Khan. The refusal on the part of the Kuzzulbashes, with which Dost Mahommed's invita tion to them was met, gave high offence to the Post, who, after due consultation, determined on invading and driv ing them from the Affghan territories. The Kuzzul bashes, on receiving intimation of this resolution, sent messengers to the Dust to say that they would not put him to the trouble of attacking and forcing them to quit the country, if h e b ut pa i d them fa- the forts which, at their individual expense, they had raised in his terri tories. The proposed condition was not acceded to, and one of Dust Mahomed's sons has proceeded to give battle to the Kuzzulbs.shes, while Akhbar Khan is about to follow with one regiment of 14,000 regular Suwars, and two of infantry, the latter under the command of haul Lall. Lanni's:, JULY 19.—The Raja Sahib to-day sum moned the several artisans who had been engaged in the late preparations for a war, and demanded of them a statement of the amount of their respective manufac tures, and their expenditure for them, both which accounts they having rendered to the entire satisfaction of Rsja Sahib, the tradesmen were rewarded, indepen dently of their d ues, w i th a large sum of money from his Mejesty's coffers. An officer of the Raja Sahib, who had shot a private through the heart, of which he instantly died, was by his Majesty dismissed the service. Four thousand rupees were given for the purchase of grain for the horses of the troops, the last store having been consumed. Soldiers were finally dispatched to seize on Meeaun Single, who has perpetrated some very serious crime, which, however, is not publicly known. JULY 25. After a sisit to the Maharaja, the Raja Sahib attended the durbar. Rangoor Singh, the brother of Leenah Singh, obtained this day the resident ship of Issurnuck, promising to pay monthly an amount of 37,000 rs. as the revenues of the place. Jo ambit- Singh has been slain by one of his own officers. This man stopped a Ntravan of' fat at Guggranwallah, and when summoned by Jowahir, for reproof, he first in sulted and then slew him, and fled hither for refuge, where he has been very favourably received by his Ma jesty. There had arisen a dispute between Rajas Goo lab Singh and Heerah Singh, from a difference as to the settlement of the country of Jaffer Shah, which belongs to the latter. Goolab Singh, on this, has turned the troops of Heerah Singh out of two forts, and purposes doing the same with the others ; but the Maharajah, who was highly incensed at the Raja's conduct on this occasion, peremptorily forbade him to execute his pur pose, threatening, at the same time, that he would not refrain from extreme measures if Goolab Singh renderd such interference necessary. The writer of this assures the public, that there have been several. different versions of the fate of Peshora Singh ; but that the-fol lowing is correct :—When he ran away from battle, on his arrival at Kurrian, he was informed that if the Baja Sahib found him he would kill him, Fearing for hisdife he ran away to Multan. Surjun Singh hearing this, in formed the Raja Sahib of it, who dispatched Maher Singh to bring him the Raja Sahib. The Prince hav ing arrived, he was accordingly brought, with his mother, lyfore the Raja Sahib, who bestowed the Governorship of Kirriallah on him ' with a salary of 60,000 rupees a year. MisherLaubSingh and Meean Laub Singh were detected to have embezzled an enormous sum from the Treasury of Lahore, and have been in consequence dis missed from the Raja Sahib's service. The Raja Sahib has given orders to every one of the surdars in the Sheik territories to engage 1,000 soldiers, who are to be either Puthans or Affghans. The mother of the Maharajah has quarrelled with the Raja Sahib and Pundit Jullah. The present pension allowed to her Highness of I,ooors. per day was found to be too small a stipend, and an in crease of another 500 to the 1,000 was according applied for ; this the above personages refused to grant, and hate, therefore, incurred her Highness's serious displeasure. AUGUST B.—Surdah Lenah Singh writes to his Ma. j( sty that he is raising levies at Sareiez, a province of Cashmere, and that after this has been accomplished he will re!urn with his troops to Lahore. Ajeet Singh, it was reported in Court, has excited a rebellion among the inhabitants of Lahore Pinder, and is plundering and otherwise persecuting such as have repelled his insinu ations and continued firm to 'the Maharajah, with great cruelty. Alarmed at this intelligence, the Maharajah consulted with the Raja Sahib on the measures exps dient for this occasion, and was advised to dispatch troops who should subdue the insurgents. But his Ma jesty contented himself by addressing to the Valreel of the rebel chief a letter, directing the secretary to ad. vise his employer to desist from his rebellious pro , ceedings. From Lahore we have letters to the 30th of July; without, however, any items of particular interest Goolab Singh continues to hold out against the solicit} ations of his nephew for a reconciliation, and it is strongly reported that he has been joined by Meean Lab Sing, who lately took leave from the durbar, and is known to be now at Jumboo, A son of Meean Singh, a chief of some consequence, has been seized and put to death in Cashmere; and the proceedings against the Sir dars,originating mostly with the Pundit Jella.will doubt- . less work out the revolution; which is, on all hands, ex pected to take place shortly after the troops retm-n to the capital. Sirdar Mungul Singh (a brother-in-law of t Kurruck Singh) who put down the Tawana insurrection, is on his way back to Lahore. He did not succeed , in capturing Futteh Khan, but has brought with him the wife and children of that chief. Mungul Singh was shot in the arm, and is reputed a good soldier. Nothing is known of the result of the border dispute, though it is suspected to have been fomented by HeeraSingh. (From the Delhi Gazette, Aug 10. Our letters from Sukkur are to the 29th or 30th ult., we cannot exactly say which. One of our friends has obligingly gone into a detail of all that passed of late, and we shall give from his letter such particulars as have been hitherto but partially dwelt on, though at the risk of a little repetition. Between two and three hundred names of culprits in the 64th Infantry, had been given in to the General by the European and native officers, when called upon to furnish lists of the guilty parties, and out of them he selected the thirty nine reserved for trial. Several of these were immedi ately sent off to solitary confinement, the remainder being placed in the guard-room. The act of suspension regarding Colonel Mosely was confirmed by Sir Charles Napier, and his Excellency further directed that Capt. Burt should be placed in arrest at large, though nobody exactly knows why, as it is the general opinion that Captain Burt is very little to blame in the affair, which arose entirely out of former transactions chiefly enacted between Kurnaul and Ferozepore, and into the secret of which our v a l ue d correspondent "Goban Seer" long since admitted the public; and which, though of a grave and se reels nature, may be extenuated to a certain extent by the reflection that had the 64th not been induced some how or other to go down, no power possessed by Go vernment would have succeeded in coercing them and others to march from Ferozepore; a dilemma the conse quences of which are too dreadful to think of. We are glad to hear that all continued quiet since the trials com menced, and that the men do the duty " with the usual indifference of the native." The order regarding the discharge of officers and men alluded to before, seems, as we read the communication before us, to have been in tended to embrace the European officers; but surely Sir Charles Napier cannot have the power which such an order would presume; or if he has, we must confess it is in very dangerous hands. We apprehend, however, there is some mistake in this matter. On the day the 64th were deprived of their colours, the regiment was wheeled into a hollow square, the European company fronting the colours, when Captain Shortreed, who had been in command of the corps since the arrest of Captain Burt, explained the station orders, and the co lours were taken out of the square and delivered over to the officer commanding the party. The scene is said, and we should think truly so, to have been most humiliating Captain White, of the 69th, was appointed to act as De puty Judge Advocate-General on the trials, and we are tall that a better selection could not have been made. In fact, all the acts of General Hunter on this unfortunate occasion are pronounced by our friends at Sukkur to have been most judicious, considering the means at his disposal. It is believed that Sir Charles is not quite sa tisfied, but that the Gieneral has the entire approbation course, of Sir Hugh Gough, of the Ad ju t ant - General, and of the Governor-General in Council. O ur l atest l etters announce that the trials ha d been all concluded, and thoughnothing positive n ofbe known regard ing thesentences it is strongly su s p ec t e d t at h of death has been a war d e d i n several cases, especially in those o f t he s e poys, who personated e punishmen t po s pronounced, i the Governor-General , Commander-in-Chief, and other members of Council, and who are reported to have formed a punchayet in the lines , p rotected during their consulta- Pans iv a chain of se ntries, with ord ers not to al l ow any one to interfere or enter the magic circle without being duly ushered in, the native officers and e ven h av ild ars lbeingo() long itslgead dm the Bundl e kh un d b tionoowfthe sentences by the Commander-in-Chief.

(From the DeThi Gazette, Sept. 7.) Our letters from Shikarpoor and Sukkur are to the 25th and 26th ult., and from the former pl ace we l earn that Captain ITlcentsie has had another b rus h w i t h t h e " gallant robbers," end alto, thst he and his irreg u lars have this time given a good account of' them. Thorp had been reports for some days previously of th e B e l ooc h ees being i n th e ne i g hbour ood, but nothing definite was known ; one thing was, however, certain, that a large body of the enemy were on the move in the vicinity of Mobarickpoor, with the intention, it was supposed, of attacking some small out-post detachments in that neighbourhood. On hl‘Kenzie hearing of this, he al lowed them to advance well into the country, and then started off with his head-quarters, and intercepted the enemy, who were engaged with a party of ot; men of the Gth Irregulars, and as many of Tait's horse, making a running fight of it. Captain l‘l'Kenzie advanced at a smart pace on hearing the firing, and though the main body of the mounted lieleochees ersapea, cell in with' two strong parties on foot, and entirely cut them up, the Irregulars going to work with the determination of pay ing off old scores, and making Sir Charl es g i v e a better report of th am than he has hitherto done. Upwards of 150 of the enemy were left " biting the ground." The loss on our side was riot very gr;lat ; one sowar killed, about 20 weunded, and some 20 or 20 horses killed and wounded. It is reported that Dr. Comberbach, the surgeon of the 6th Irregulars, who charged with the body, has been wounded, though it is said slightly. We shall look with anxiety for further particulars, but v have heard since we received the above that it was the intention of the enemy's horse to draw out our two small parties of cavalry, and when they were well in the jungle, for the infantry, lying in ambush, to atta sk them in the rear ; they were, however, caught in their own trap. Dr. Comberbach's wound is a sabre out across the thigh, but he is doing well. Captain Holmes, second in command, was a Kira-ke-Ghurree, and it is thought probable that he will also conic across the enemy and make a good report of them. Sickness has decreased. It appears that Lieutenant Griffiths, of the artillery, whose death we mentioned some numbers back, was very suddenly attacked with fever; it rushed to his brain, and he . sank rapidly. The sepoy of the 64th, who was condemned for murder, was executed on. the parade-ground in presence of all the troops. From Sukkur we learn that the troops were paraded to hear the proclamation regarding the change of Governor-Generalship read, and a salute of nineteen guns was fired ; the troops are represented as making a good appearance, and the worthy General as looking well and hearty. There was but one commanding officer present, the others being on the sick report. The following are the arrangements regarding the move ments of the Queen's regiments, which differ somewhat rem those previously given:— " The Ist division of the 13th (Prince Albert's) Light Infantry, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel \ r igors, of that corps, will embark on or about the Ist of September, in steamers sent for their conveyance to Ko tree. On the 25th of August a wing of the 78th High_ landers will commence its march from Kurrachee to Ko tree, where it will encamp and wait the arrival of the Ist division of the 13th (Prince Albert's) Li g ht Laftmtry, Irma Sukkur, which will disembark at Kotree, and taking over the camp equipage and carriages from the wing of the 78th Highlanders, will commence its march to Kurra chee, the Highlanders proceeding to Sukkur in the steamers which brought down the 13th. On the 21st A ugust a wirg Of her Majesty's 86th Foot, with its com missariat carriage and camp equipage, will cross the Indus to Kotree, and commence its march to Knrrachee. On the 23d of Au g ust the remaining wing of her Ma jesty's 86th Foot , with its carriage, &c., will move across the Indus to Kotree, and commence its march to Kurrachee. On the 31st August the remaining wing of the 78th Highlanders will take the carriage, &0., which brought th e fi rs t w i ng o f t h e 8 6 t h from Kotree, and commence its march to that place, there to await the arrival from Sukkur of the 2d division of the 13th (Prince Albert's) Light Infantry, when a similar ex change will be made as detailed above, and the corps will proceed to their respective destinations. The arrangements for the movement of the women, sick, and heavy bag gage of the several corps will be separate from the above, and will be consequent on the receipt of intelligence from the officer commanding the Indus flotilla. The 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 , erted. The 2d Light Cavalry (Bombay) had received hint that they might be required at Sukkur shortly. A YFG lIANISTAN. We have received letters from Caubul to the 16th aly. 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. Shore Mahomed had written to the Ameer from Sindo 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 Ffeerah Singh and. the Dost.—Delhi 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 N 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 Ulxlool Rahman, who had sought refuge in the territory of Thaiza Singh from 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 Post 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 from among the formidable mountain tribes ; but this insur rection seems to have produced no effect on the Post.— Bengal Hurkaru,_Aug. 31. NMI'S FROM CAUBUL, AUG. 2.—To-day came on an engagement between Akbar Khan and Aubdool Sum mand. 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, among his prisoners, the two Ge nerals of the enemy- The loss on the side of the people of Canbul is estimated at 3,000, while on that of the enemy it is said to amount to 5,000, besides the prisoners. —Bengal flurharu, Sept. 3, We derive the following, which is of some interest, from a news-writer in Affghanistan JULY 23.—The Tartars have formed an alliance with the chiefs of Oosbegs Balkh, Bameean, and the Wullee of Bokhara, who, with the troops they already levied, and are still levying, have sworn to aid them against the Affghans as their common foe. Alarmed at these adversities, Mahommed Akbar abandoned his clamp and escaped to Caubul, aocomplishing his flight en horseback—the space that intervenes being about four hundred miles—in two days and nights. Dost Mahom med, 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 Kuzzulbashes and Beloo chaes to his party by restoring to them the lands he had 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 t roo p o f 30,000 so ldi e r s , leaving Akbar Khan and Aufzul Khan as his surrogates at Caubul. " JULY Emir reviewed this morning the 40,000 men who had offered themselves for the expedi tion against the Tartan ; 10,000, however, of this number were rejected as inefficient, at which thcsa dis carded took high offence, and thought of remonstrating strongly with the Dost, but were appeased by Gubar Khan. " JULY 29.—Intelligence from .Tellalabacl reached Caubtil, reporting that Amer Khan, of Silber Dail, and Saaml 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, an tkel departure of Dost 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 Caubiil, but as we know all the available stores are required to be sent wit t the troops to Balkh, there is great want at Jellalabad. —Bengal finrhan;, Sept. 14.

TIIE LATE MUTINY—GENERAL ORDER. (Fi-om the Bengal Hurharti.) 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-IV-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 i however deep the feel ing of regret on hisl4:xcellency'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 sulu-cting the remainder of the prisoners to other severe punishments. " The chief cause of this disgraceful mutiny appears to have been the disappointment of the , men at not receiving a much higher rate of pay than they were entitled to by regulation and the orders of Government ; and it • is shown in evidence that they were promised certain specific advan tages. This point will form the subject of further serious investigation. But the Commander-in-Chief eannat 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 jassed by the court. " The sentence of death on the following prisoners, sepoys Sewsahai Sing, of the 3d company ; Juggernauth Doobey, of the Bth company ; Sewumbar Pandy, of the Bth company • Kamkissoon, of the 3d company ; Bieruth Sing, of the 3d company ; and Sewpaul Sing, of the Bth company, will be carried into effect, by their being generally hollered by the neck till they are dead ; under instructions which i will be transmitted to his Ex cellency Major-General Sir C. ,T. Napier, G.C.8., com manding the troops in Sinde. " The sentence of death on the following prisoners, sepoys, Bholar Sing, grenadier company, Morewunt Sing, and Purrusram hisser, of the lst company, Bul kurrum Sing, of the 3d company ; Chine Roy and Kun nio Opudeah, of the sth company ; and Ramyad Sing, of the Bth company, is commuted to imprisonment, with hard labour, for life, in each of their eases. " The sentence of death on the following prisoners, sepoys, Dhunput Sing and Bhowanydeen (Ist), of the sth company ; Pulwan Sing, Ramhouse Opudesh, Sew buccus Sing, Meer Khan, Mahabul Sing, Pursaud Sing, Ulleebuccus Khan, and Munsraje Khan, all of the Bth company, is commuted to imprisonment, with hard labour, for thirteen years, in each of their cases. " The sentence of death on the following' prisoners, sepoys Shaiek Moharan, grenadier company, Shaiek Dhamoo, Bbuggun and Juggoo, of the 2d company; Ilurdeal Sing, of the 3d company; Shair Khan and llingha Khau.of the 7th company, is commuted to im prisonment, with hard labour, for ten years, in each of their cases. " The sentence of death on the following prisoners, sepoys Goolab Sing, Madarbux Khan, and Ghunsam Ovvustee, of the 6th cornpan3 ; Sea rattan Sing and Shaiek Mucdoombux, of the 7th company, is commuted to im• prisonrnent, with hard labour, for seven years, in each of their cases. " The sentence of death on the following prisoners, sepoys Dishram and Kassee Sing, of the 7th company, and Sownaraiu Hisser, of the Sth company, is commuted to imprisonment, with hard labour, for five years, in each of their eases. "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. " Di order of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief. " J. R. LUMLEY, Major• General, Adjutant- General of the Army." CHINA. We have China papers to the 30th July, from which we make the following extracts. The prices of opium on the 29th July were— Patna 7BO Benares 750 Mal wa 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 have 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 bas returned toWham poa, with directions, it is said, to proceed to Canton and lie off the factories, should that be considered n e c essar 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. We 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 be 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 between them. —I - long-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 cone. quent " feeling of security," when they " had but slender means of self-defence against the outrages of a violent mob."—lbid. 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 lieshen's disgrace, he was Lieutenant-Governor, and with great skill kept himself out of all scrapes, 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.— I /bid. rirrent of I (From the Ove rla ndNil,lßClßAeLn9allNHTlEirlitaLrluGEPNricCeEb Tuesday, Sept. 17.) COMMERCIAL COMMERCIAL REPORT. Bengal Ilurkaru Office, Sept. 17, 1844. The Overland Mail (Express) arrived on the morning of the 15th ult. with dates to the Bth July. The commercial intelligence on the whole Is rather favourable for some Rrticles 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 e with a continuance 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 of rather than give:the high rates demanded by consignees of the rticle. 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 Dye.—Our market for this article has been very dal, but previous prices are laity maintained—first quality scarce, and quoted at. Co.'s rs. 60 to 63, good fair descriptions rs 28, BNB at 19-8, artil MB at .6 per h. md. Shellac.—The sales are not so extensive as advised by last mail, still a fair extentof business has b. en done • at rather lower rates than previous quotations. Cotton.—Since our last, one or two vessels have beets 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 consldo rably lower, in consequence of the spirit of gambling.. having. subsided a little amongst our natives, and apme connected With the Bombay opitim trade. Patna is now worth Co.'s rs. 1,563 to 1,570 and 1,460 t;)1,645 perches'. fOr Benares. Prices by 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. intl. 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 re. 1-12 to 1-14 per b. md., 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, finery 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 exp ec t t o see a good deal doing in this article. Present prices are about Co.'s rs. 17-8 to 18.8 per bazaar manna. 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 ever, freights being lower, a better business has been done.

(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 seas on w ill b e li m it e d t o 800,000 f. sterling. The indigo crop may now be considered as certain not to frill below 140,000 maunds, and may somewhat exceed this quantity. A violent storm (luring 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 reportjust publis.hed by the Agricultural Society of Calcutta will put au end to the expectations of those who 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 reAoning any of the expenses of bringing to market. It can, therefore, never compete with the produce of China, not even in this country. Advises 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 hero 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 uncert a inty attending the bad geogra phi ca l position of that port during the S. W. monsoon. TRADE AT /lONG-KONC. (From the Hony-Kony Price Current, July 26.) .I)IE:MAN DoMEsTICB AND DRILLS.—There 11 still little or no stock in first hands, but further supplies are looked for by American ships daily expected.
