Majority for Mr. Maitland on gross poll .... 142 eD •0 0 1 ' I ,o CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Just :cc WIG [17'31.4'N. ) Chas Mitch e ll, a goo d-l oo k ing yout . g woman , twenty-two years of a ge, was indicted with fel o niously counselling, aiding, and procuring a man unknown to forge a receipt for 44. 19s. 2d., with intend to defraud Samuel Allen and others, and a person limiest Bass pleaded guilty to being the party who attended the female p: i,or.er and forged the name of Mitchell. Mr. Doane appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Clarkson defended the female prisoner. Prom the stat e ments of the Learned Counsel who conducted the prosecution, it appeared that a person of the name of Mit ehell was a depositor in the savings' bank at Paddington. That, various occasions, he had sent deposits by the female pri 12°Pri and that those deposits amounted altogether to 441. 19s. t " . On the 39th of June, the two prisoners came to the bank () give notice of the withdrawal of the money in a fortnight, 'na the f e m a l e th en r epre s ented the male prisoner as h er husband Mitchell. After several questions had been Put to the parties by Mr. Fuller, the Secretary of the *wing s bank, the prisoner Bass signed the name of Mitchell, acd Mtimately the money was obtained. P r°lll the cross-examination of the prosecutor, it appeared t hat the female prisoner and himself had cohabited together as kan and wife, and he had had three children by her, and that t hey had been living together since 18;9. He had never !tuthorised either of the prisoners to apply for the money, and ne denied that any of it belonged to the temale prisoner. ti Mr- Ci A RKSON, for the prisoner Mitchell, could not deny n.at she ac c ompan i e d th e p risoner Ba s s when the money was ootainm. He could not deny that it was her intention to ob tain the money for the purpose of supporting herself and her Children, whom the prosecutor had deserted. In this object, however, she was frustrated, as the prisoner Bass decamped ' w ith the whole amount. The female prisoner was, therefore, 111°r " an object of pity than punishment, for she had been *educed, and left service on a promise of marriage by the prosecutor. ~ T he j ury f oun d th e f ema le p r isone r Guilty. 'lr. DOANE, in applying for the extra expenses that had be ep incurred in taking Bass iota custody, stated that they had tikertained that, shortly after the receipt of the money, the t e :lale prisoner and Hass, and also a person named Ward, rent I,gether with a large quantity of luggage to the terminns of e Lo n d on and Birmingham Railway ; that they afterwards Z t. "t to a coffee-house, where Bass and Ward left the female and immediately decamped with all the luggage to 1 : termin u s of the Southampton Railway, and from thence Ns, * Ned to Havre, and from thence to Brussels, where Bass co with a great portion of the luggage, part of which "sisted of the wearing apparel belonging to the female pri -141`,1' and her children.

'lilts—The Commissioners of Stamps have issued a ?two that all pedlars, hawkers, &c., exhibiting goods fur "ale without being duly licensed, subject themselves Q () a Penalty of 101.. and that the Commissioners have c il) l oyed thr oughout the country several persons to eteet such off. nders. Mr.M. Edit or, a llow me to ask-1. Is the public s 'ware that for the smallest sort of goods, such as tapes, tehes, boot and shoe-laces, &c., though it be but two LTtugs' worth of goods, every such person is compelled law to have an annual license for the sum of 41., and eas e of offending against that law, every such per ass, • " liable to a fine of 10/., or three months' imprison in a common gaol, or House of Correction, and t . t l l 4 ' . ° to be confined as a rogue and vagabond ? 2. Is e Public aware that there are in and about London (41 unon informers, will prowl about the streets en t,'PPing the poor to the commission of that very t\ ' It 'Ue y ? 3. Is the public aware that it has already so furred that the in:Ormer in such cases has more pre (?gzitive than her most gracious Majesty, because the reen's moiety of 51. is genera ly forgiven, but the in :„"ner's is e ie absolute ; the law protects him ; and the nt law manufacturers give him full power to stick l td and last for his Si. ? 4. Is the public aware that 44 7 e are fellows about the metropolis living on the poor b h u ignrant, purposedemaning from them (daily) contri tiltious for the of staying informations, albeit el e scoundrels have no claim on the Stamp-office ? ii(ln supp or t o f w hi c h I n o w hold a letter from the 41,0'Turable Commissioners of Stamps).. Besides, there urms in London which supply hawkers with small 4t 4 e its of ware. These firms have to pay a weekly % ,.°wance to the informers ; the informer keeps a book, r th all the names of such persons hawking the goods of b, • It and Mr. W. ; those persons go unmolested, cause they repay their employers Id. per day for the fallof the informers. But, woe to him who shall D1 1 , 4 ,` into the clutches of the informer, without his name i na in his (the informer's) book. He will be dragged th `e felon before the magistrate, and thence taken to ! House of Correction, there to be confined as a rogue it ti u a vagabond for three calendar months, and his wife al children cast upon the wide world, to go begging ''")ut the streets. 41 do n o t, f or a m om e nt, encourage hawking without 1,,--fisessuch must be very detrimental to the shop es t , r but let each man be taxed according to his s o a r a i ! , Lar.celt. When a law is once made it ought not wi O r6 ken ; but why not repeal it ? If the legislators 1444,k aye blood out of a stone, by compelling the very s o 'Le to support the revenue, let them have time to do co ~iag .ti other countries, licensed persons are taxed to the valtie of their stock, and its quality ; 1• 0 ;uts are made by instalments, and common in kneit are not encouraged. the Condition that these observations may tend to alleviate th,, - , C oudition of the poor, and crush the informer, and t„‘ ,Publicity will cause some benevolent philanthropist allow up such a good cause—with the greatest respect, a tr me, Mr. Editor, to subscribe myself your humble Angus` E.

SIR,— The weather at last has taken a favourable turn, and is likely to remain so during the meeting at York ; the pourse is very heavy, and consequently very trying to the three year-olds, who are not likely to have it so much their own way as at Goodwood. The Coventry Cup will produce an exciting race, for which about Line are expected to contend—viz., Inheritress, Arundo, Winesour, The Libel, Merry Andrew, Little Hamp ton, Young England, and perhaps Coheiress and The Sha dow ; the latter two are not very likely to go for it, which, it they did, I should most unhesitatingly name The Shadow for the winner; but as it is, I fancy Inheritress will do the trick, with Merry Andrew playing second fiddle. The Members' Plate of 100 sovs., or thereabouts, will go into Mr. Meiklam's pocket with Philip. Should The Shadow start for this stake it will be one of the best races this meet ing will be able to boast of. The Knavesmuir Stakes of 100 sovs. each, seems to me to be very much like a walk over for Red Robin. The match between Spur and Malt will be won by the former. Malt will receive forfeit from the Mrs. Fry filly. The match between the b f by Phoenix and Brunnette will be won by the latter. The Great Yorkshire Stakes. for three-year-olds, will, in all probability, show off to great disadvantage sonic of the St. Leger animals. The field will probably consist of ten or a dozen ; among others the following will make their appear ance—viz., Miss Sarah, Miss Elis, Hope, Jinglepot, Annan• dale, and Fitzallen. Miss Sarah will doubtless run very for ward, but I do not think she will catch the judge's eye first Miss Elis had such a dressing at Goodwood that I think her chance is entirely out. Hope and Fitzallen will find the course too heavy for their enduring qualities. Annandale is a strong animal, well suited to such a course ; I expect to sec him put the 501. allowed to the second horse in his masters' pocket. Jinglepot, by Physician, out of Gazelle, is the animal I shall select for the winner of this stake, never doubt ing for a moment his superior strength and swiftness. I shall not be surprised to see Jinglepot first, Annandale second, and Hope, or Miss Sarah, third. This race will de• cide the respective merits of Annandale and Miss Sarah, and either confirm them in the betting, or send them out alto gether.—l am, Sir.,yours, &c., Aug. 21. THE.

(From the Morning Herald.) We have received by express our papers and letters in anticipation of the Overland Mail from Calcutta. The dates are Calcutta, July 3 ; Madras, July 10 ; Bombay, July 3; Alexandria, August 8; and Malta, August 12. We have not any intelligence from China of later date than that brought by the last mail from Bombay. CALCUTTA, JULY 3. The lapse of three weeks since my last dispatch has not, I fear, enabled me to collect materials for a very interesting epistle on this occasion. We complain here of the barren ness of the English mails, which bring us little of exciting intelligence, except such as relates to the murders which arc becoming so fashionable among you. You, on the other hand, have some reason to retaliate in remarks upon the dullness of the Indian news market, which supplies nothing more interesting than vague speculations on the next out breaks among the Seikhs, and discussions on tarn, anti. mis sionary movements and lawyers' bills, instead of announce ments of battles fought and victories won. A native paper reports a most horrible case of dacoity, or gang robbery, in a district near Calcutta. A band of dacoits attacked and entered the house of a Brahmin, whose family comprised an unusual number of women. These on the at _ _ ack retired to a room, locked themselves in, and from the inside parleyed with the robbers, offering them all their jewels and ornaments if they might be spared from insult or injury. The ruffians, however, broke into the room, and proceeded to divest the poor women of their ornaments and clothes; and, it is almost too monstrous for belief, when the ring or bangle from the arm or ancle did not come away easily, they cut off the limb. After mut►lating ten or twelve women in this horrible manner, they retired with their booty. Some of their victims have died from their wounds, it is sa►d. This tale may be true or it may be false ; it seems incredible, but who shall assign a limit to the barba rity of Indian robbers ! What would you English papers make of such an horror as this ? here, even if the report be confirmed, a brief paragraph will be its only record. The estate of the rajah of Berhampore, who committed suicide last year, has lately been the subject of some sharp practice between the Court of Wards and the Ecclesiastical Registrar. The latter got hold of the property in Calcutta, and sent an auctioneer to Berhampore to dispose of the pro• perty there. The collector, acting as representative of the Court of Wards, threatened the auctioneers with imprison ment, &c.,if they appeared on the premises, so they were obliged to return to Calcutta without effecting the object of their mission. The Court of Wards then Sent up other auctioneers who have sold the property, and as it is said very well too, but the Registrar threatens them with pains and penalties, from which however they are of course held harmless by the Court of Wards which em ployed them. The rajah's widow has given birth to a daughter, and by the provisions of the will the bulk of the property therefore goes to found a college at Berhampore. The widow, however, it is said, is about to bring forward another will, which if admitted, as however it is hardly likely to be, will alter the state of affairs considerably, by giving her the power to adopt an heir. A very annoying accident occurra near Calcutta lately. A fine suspension br►dge, the longest, it is said, in India, just as it was completed, fell into the water. It was thrown over the Buloo Khal, a creek a few miles up the river. Letters have been received from the Punjaub, which state that the recent tranquillity has been broken by a battle, or skirmish, between Peshora Singh and the royal army, in which the former bad the advantage, but did not'follow it up. I have recent news from China. The English mail of the 7th May reached Calcutta on the 19th June, and the Precursor, with that of the 24th May, is in the river, but, being unable to go into the City to-day, I do not know it she is off town. _ BOMBAY, JULY 3. Very little news has transpired since my last. People usually keep quiet during the rainy season in India, and the country at present exhibits nought but the meat gratifying and exemplary tranquillity. That terrible scourge, cholera, has made its appearance in almost every station in western India, and has not only committed serious ravages amongst the native community, but has cut off a good many Eu ropeans. In the Punjaub, Peshawur, &c., it has been fright fully prevalent, and at one time, in the city of Lahore alone, it was striking down five and six hundred daily : latterly the deaths are reported at fifty and sixty, and the total number that have fallen in the sickly capital and its environs since the first breaking out of the malady, is stated at between twenty and thirty thousand. The news from Sinde continues pacific and unexciting. Our troops continue healthy. There is no later news from China than that given in my last. (From the Times.) We: have received by our extraordinary express 'dis patches from India in anticipation of the bi-monthly The quietness of the Punjaub appears to be the quiet ness of death. The Seikhs no longer mete out death to each other, but disease sweeps them off by thousands. The cholera, in its most malignant type, has been raging in Lahore and the neighbourhood, and it was calculated that the deaths averaged from 500 to 700 per day. At the date of the last accounts this dreadful disease was on the decline, after having carried off between 20,000 and 30,000 victims. The last advices from Peshawar represent that city as almost deserted. Every one who had the means of re moving had left the city. The number of deaths in that place between the 30th of March and the 2d of May amounted to 4,825. In the midst of this direful affliction the state of par- ties had not changed very materially. In our last we stated that Prince Pechora Singh had taken possession of two or three provinces, the revenues of which ho in tended to apply to his own use. It is now said, that the treasure sent towards Peshawar by the Sirdar, amount- ing to nearly six lacs of rupees, had also fallen into the hands of Peshora Singh, who had surprised the escort. The greater part of the troops, it is now said, are in favour of Ptshora Singh, their good-will having been ob tained by the intrigues, or rather purchased by the gold, of Ghoolab Singh. The Raja Goolerwallah Singh, the father-in-law of the late Raja Heera Singh, who had been at Lahore for some time settling his account with the Sirdar, was sud denly attacked with cholera, and died shortly after. The Sirdar Jowahir Singh, having heard of his death, sent immediately to seize a horse and some other property that the Raja had disposed of in charity in his last moments. The Wuzeer Jowahir Singh is, in the mean time, becoming daily more unpopular, and it is said Peshora, Singh aspires to the office of Wuzeer. Public attention has been much excited by the expo sure of certain alleged malpractices in the Supreme Court of Madras, where the Master, who is also the taxing-officer, has been, it is said, long in the practice of taking illegal fees, and allowing them to be charged by the attorneys. It is represented that in one ease where he had permitted the attorney to charge illegal fees to the amount of 1,600 rupees (160/. sterling), he had charged for himself 3,000 rupees, or 3001. Not withstanding an able defence made by the Counsel on behalf of Mr. Minchin, the Master, the Court pro nounced him guilty of the charge, and deprived him of his office. In defence of Mr. Minchin, it is said that, at the request of Sir Robert Comyn, he resigned a lucrative practice at the Madras bar to become the Master of the Court, on the express understanding that the emoluments of the office averaged about 42,000 rupees per annum ; that these emoluments arose from a table of fees established in 1801, and partly from others sanctioned from time to time by the different Masters for business, but provided for by the table, and tacitly allowed by successive judges. No new fee, it is said, has been introduced for the last fourteen years, or by Mr. Minchin during his period of office; and it is alleged that the Chief Justice, or his colleague for the time being, having affixed their signatures to several hundred bills of costs, containing all those fees which arc now said to be illegal, and without which signature those fees could not be demanded. Mr. Minchin is ex pected to arrive by the present mail, in order to appeal, it is said, against the decision of the Madras judges. In Ceylon the cultivation of the tea plant had been commenced, and great expectations were entertained ef the result of the experiments. According to other opi nions, although the tea plant will grow within the tropics, and maintain a flourishing appearance, the leaf is said to be totally destitute of flavour, and therefore useless. The important subject of railroads has not escaped discussion. The Cakultz Englishman contends that the London scheme for obtaining a Government guarantee of a certain amount of dividend to a company can he of no public advantage, and that a line connecting Calcutta with the great markets and thoroughfare of the north west provinces is the line that must be supported. We regret to add, that that dreadful scourge, the cholera, had reached the banks of the Sutlej and made , its appearance at Ferozepore, though not in our canton ments. The mortality amongst the officers of the Madras army has been greater than any remembered for many years past. The Bombay cavalry have memorialised the Coot t of Directo:s on the subject of granting an additional captain, and H e are happy to find that the memotial has been intrusted to Major-General Archibald Watson. An important order has also been issued by the , Governor. General for remedying the ine,mveniences requiting from the present mode of allowing young officers to join their regiments. We are happy to find this subject has at length attracted the attention of Government. The steamer Precursor, with the mail to the 2 tth of May, anchored in Madras roads on the f?Sth of June, thus affording intelligence flotn England in the unusually short space of 35 da) s. The British frigates Thunderer and Conway had ban dispatched from the Mauritius on the 7th of Jtine to tho island of Madagascar, to protect the European in habitants, who had been ordered by the Queen to become naturalized, or quit the country. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. ( From the Calcutta Englishman of July 2. ) Considerable dullness has been observable in business gene rally since our last issue of the 9th ult., but still in no single staple, either of import or export, have vve any important change to notice as regards prices. The Government express THE SUN, LONDON, TIVURSIVAY EVE-NING, AUGUST 21 5 1845. of the mail, via Bombay, came in on the 19th ult., and put us in receipt of London dates to the 7th of May. The accounts of the home TT arkets for East India produce were again unfa vourable ; and, although the kwiless of stocks sti:l enables hol ders here in most instances to maintain former rates, theft , has been bat little anxiety shown to purchase, and transactions have been on a very moderate scale. The long I.ot:eft:for improvement in the demand for im ports has not as yet been manifested in the slightest degree, although the rivers are now navigable, and produce is arriving freely ; this is probably caused by the attention of the dealers being still occupied with opium speculations, end by the large sums of money required for that purpose, and, as the sum that will be required during the present month to effect the clear ance of that purchased on the 30th tilt. is no less than 7,000,000 Company's rupees, we see no prospect of money being more abundant at present, although, from this being the last Govern ment sale of the season, it is probable the dealers may now re turn to their legitimate business. Exchange has again advanced about a farthing, but at this a large amount of operations have been effected, and first-rate paper is in request. Our river is still well supplied with ship ping, and freight is procurable on about the same terms as at the date of our last. Indigo—Our lite accounts from the interior are not so flou rishing as those previously received, particularly from the east ward (Furre eelpore Dacca, Alymunsingh), where they have experienced very heavy rain and a sudden rise of the rivers, which have done them a great deal of harm—in fact, so much so, as to reduce their prospects to two-thirds of what they pre viously calculated on ; it also appears that the rain has injured the plant considerably in Rungpore, as well as in Jessore and Rajeshaye, a.:;d should the weather experienced in Calcutta during the past two or three days have extended to those dis tricts, we shall doubtless shortly hear of further complaints. On the whole, however, we cannot say that the general accounts are very bad, as a few dabs of fine wea ther would counteract the damage done in many parts, and we are aware that rain was much wanted in others, as Nuddea, llaldah, Purneah, and Bhaugulpore, where the manufacture is progressing splendidly ; from Tirhoot our ac counts are rather favourable as compared with those of last month ; the western provinces are likewise promising well, pro vided they have early rains, and we hope to hear in a few days of their having regularly set in there ; in which case they will cut a splendid koontie, with a probability of a good uowdah. We, however, hear a very general complaint of the fine plant they are cutting not yielding so good produce as was looked for, and many parties will find their out-turn fall short of w hat they cal culated on from the quantity and general appearance of the crop; this deficiency, however, is to be attributed more to the coolness of the nights than to the quality.of the plant, and with tine weather will Improve. It is still quite iimpossilde to say anything about the quantity likely to be produced, as everything depends on the 'weather experienced throughout the manufacturing season, but we can confidently say that there is plant enough on the ground to yield a full average out-turn.

With low sugars the market is still very moderately supplied, and prices are almost nominal. For Khaur the inquiry has fallen off, and transactions have been very limited. Exports to Great Britain in June amounted to 150,378 maunds. Saltpetre—There is still a fair demand for this staple, and although there is not at present much doing for Great Britain. the scarcity of some descriptions and the demand for America keep up prices. For France we do not hear of any purchases, but small ship ments have gone forward to China. Exports in June were as follows, viz.:—To Great Britain, 24,832 maunds ; to North America, 8,007 maunds. Raw Silk—This market continues very quiet, the large holders being still disinclined to submit to any decline, without which it is impossible that any . general demand can be expe rienced, but as the unsold portion of the last bund is still very considerable, and the produce of the rainy bund will be coming to hand in about a month, we think considerabl e snore anx i e ty to realise will shortly be manifested, in which case a material decline appears inevitable. The sales since our last have con sisted almost entirely of small parcels, which have been taken at a shade under former rates. Exports to Great Britain in June amounted to 1,338 mds. Silk Piece Goods—Our market continues well supplied with Corahs of low quality, but for these there is no inquiry, and they are difficult of sale except at a considerable decline ; the few parcels of first quality cloths, however, which have come to hand have found purchasers at nearly former rates. Choppas and Bandannas go forward on manufactures' account with the exception or small parcels of Radnagore, which are at times obtainable in this market. Exports to Great Britain in June were as follows :—Corahs, 57,246 pieces; Choppas and Bandannas, 4,795 pieces. Rice—The demand for table has continued moderate, and purchases have been far from heavy, without, alteration in pi ice. Moonghy and Ballam have been taken to some extent for Mauritius and Bourbon, at Ir. Ba. to Ir. 10a. 6p. per maund. Exports in June were as follows, viz.:— To Great Britain To Mauritius —••- --- • - Oil Seeds—The Americans continue the only purchasers of linseed, and are still taki'r.g off large quantities, at from 2r. 2a. to 2r. Ga. per maund, according to quality. Mustard seed is in request for Great Britain, at former rates, but we are not aware of many purchases. Rum—This article is but litte inquired for, nor are we aware of a single purchase; quotations arc, therefore, still nominal. Exports to Great Britain in June amounted to 49,351 gallons. Shell Lac and Lac Dye—For shell lac there is at present but little inquiry for any part, and sales can only be effected at a decline. This, however, the holders of European manufacture will not submit to, and transactions are therefore confined to a f ew purchasers of low quality. Lac dye continues in demand and scarce, except native marks, which are not much wanted, and offering at about former rates. Jute—The native holders still keep up the price of this staple by shipping, and we seldom hear of sales to any extent in this market. Exports to Great B r i ta i n cont i nue h eavy, and i n J une amou nted to 27,945 maunds. • Safflowe r, nes , continu es to be d one i n sa ffl ower, without any material alterationiillniluj price for Ginger, and Turmeric—A l a rge busi ness q ua lity, a lth oug h common sor t s are getting less inquired for ; s hi pments h ave b een go i ng f orwar d very t and we s h ou ld say considerably more than half the cr e o t lr infg r has eel a y l:ready been disposed of. In Alunret we are not aware of any transactions. Ginger continues in moderate request for Great Britain and America, but for neither are we aware of any extensive purchases. Turmetic is not at present wanted, but a few parcels have been taken for Great Britain at about 2r. per maund. Cowries, 'Pineal, and Cutch—Under this head we have not a single sale to report since our last. Cowries are, however, in moderate demand for Great Britain, and in prices we have no alteration to notice. Cotton—This staple continues to command but little atten tion, and shipments to China are to a very moderate extent, being from let inst. up t o d ate only 56 maunds. Opium—Prices commenced declining gradually shortly after the date of our last, in consequence of the discovery of forged passes, and it was thought the Government sale, held on the 30th ult., would have established a further fall ; but, owing to its being tho last of the season, this did not take place, the ruling throughout being much the same as in the bazaar previously. The stock now in the Company's godown consists of 6,976 chests Patna, and 2,563 chests Ilcnares. Hides, Horns, and Tips—Hides continue in very moderate demand, but vales n evert h e l ess are to a fair extent., principally for the English market, and prices are much the same as last month. In buffalo horns there is not much doing, but, al though they are rather difficult of - sale, prices are main tained. In deer horns and tips we are not aware of a single transaction. IMPORTS FROM EUROPE. British Cotton Piece Goods—The dealers have continued to absent themselves from the market, their time as well as funds being at present occupied almost exclusively with opium. The last few days have brought somewhat more favourable accounts from Mirsapore, where rain had fallen, and it is pro bable that as produce arr i ves they will be enabled to operate more frecly, the st oc k s i n all the up-country marts be i ng much reduced. Skirtings have changed hands to a moderate extent, and the tendency has been in favour of the buyer. Jaconots continue in fair inquiry, more especially the me dium qualities of bleached clottiQ. In lappets and lappet scarfs but little has Leen done, and at somewhat under :former rates. Mulls and hook muslins continue in very limited inquiry. Coloured and Printed Goods —Printed goods have been in better demand, and a fair amount of sales are reported, but without improvement in price. In Turkey red cloths we have no change to notice, both twill and plain continuing in moderate inquiry at former rates. Imports of all kinds in June amounted to 682 packages. Woollens—We have no demand to notice for these goods, which continue neglected even at the low rates which holders would accept. Imports of all kinds in June amounted to 102 hales. White M ule Twist—Yarn has continued dull of rale through out the past three weeks, with the exception of Nos. 20 and 30, which have been inquired for, and brought a slight ad vance • other counts have been purchased on rat h er eas i er terms, but still to a very moderate extent. Imports in June were 1,502 bales, 738,8101h5. Coloured Yarn—The only transaction s we have heard of lately under this head have been of Turkey red, German dye, at Ir. 10a. 9p. and British at lr. Ba. 2p. per lb . Imports in june were as follows, viz. : —Red, 84 bales, or 32,5001b5.; Orange, 30 bales, or 12,0001b5. Copper—About the middle of last month a demand sprang up, and sales to a moderate extent were cfr•cted at a slight advance on brazier's and tile; this has, however, again fallen off, and, though former rates are maintained, there is but little doing. Imports in June were as follows, viz. :—Tile and ingot, 1,238 maunds; sheet and plate, 1,995 sr - minds ;• , nails 116 maunds ; brazier's, 139 ma u nds. Iron—This metal continues entirely neglected by the dealers, who either have not as yet received any up -country orders, or cannot execute-them, as they do not appear to interest them selves in the market. 1. i . 5 unimportant, and we quantity so iqnu .Tune quote actually ecowmemr eo s an o s (it follows, ir s: o n rw c a : h, o ev u ri a :w s :i t bolt, and rod, 16,626 maunds ; hoop, 1,102 maunds ; s h eet, 1,253 maunds ; Swedish, '',518 maunds ; pig, 3,675 maunds ; nails, 61 maunds.

MONEY-MARKET. Notwithstanding the large sums of money which have of late been taken out of the market by the opium sales, and the khowledge that upwards of 7,000,000 Company's rupees will be required in the course of the present month to clear the pur cha.es made on the 30th ult., we still find Government securi ties maintain their rates ; and in fact the tendency is at present rather in favour of further improvement. lb Bank Stock we do not hear of many operations, but shares continue at a high pre mium.

We hear of no transactions in cotton piece goods, yarns, or woollens. Brazier's copper has been sold to the extent of 700 cwt., at 26 rupees ler cwt., being an advance of nearly 2 rupees per cwt. upon previous sales. The cotton-market is firm, and Surat has been pur chased at 84i rupees per candy to the extent of 500 bales.

Our last quotation was 41. ss. to London, and 31. 17s. 6d. to 4/. to Liverpool ; we may now quote 31. 12s. 6d. to 31. 15s. to both place. Freight to the Clyde has been engaged at 31. 15s.

We do not, however, hear of any transactions in this description of cotton. About 3,000 bales of Bombay and 600 bales of Madras have changed hands during the past week. Cotton Yarn—Prices remain the same as before; almost nominally so, however, as nothing is doing. Elephants' Teeth—We hear of one small sale of the first quality, at 85 dollars per picul. Fish-maws and Shark-fins—None of the recent arrivals have yet been disposed of. Longcloths—No transactions are reported in whites, which are still depressed. About 5,000 pieces of grays have changed hands, the greater portion being of inferior quality. Long Ells—There is at present little inquiry for these goods, and rates are low. About 800 pieces assorted have been placed during the past week at 7.15 dollars per piece. Opium—The market is somewhat firmer than last week, but prices remain much the same. Rattans—Have given way still further, 2.10 dollars per picul having been accepted for a parcel of 1,900. Rice—We have no sales to notice. The market continues firm, and the dry weather we now have will probably tend to maintain prices. Sandalwood—The stock on hand is moderate, but the de mand is equally so, and rates do not advance. Tin Plates—Have improved somewhat, 400 boxes having lately been moved off at 7.30 dollars per box. Woollens—We hear of the sale of 500 pieces of Spanish stripes at prices within our quotations. The market is very languid, and rates will probably go still lower. THE BRAZIL MAIL.

It was said that the Plenipotentiaries were determined, either by at gument or force, to settle the question with Rosas. The Monte Videans complied with every proposal made to them. Riveira was still at Rio de Janeiro. BAHLA.—The barque Diathesis, Captain Gordon, had put into this port with Ler cargo of coals heated, bound to Aden, and also to !awl some Dutch sailors which Captain Gordon had taken off the island of St. Paul's, belonging to the Jan Hen drik, of Rotterdam, wrecked there.

MAYENCE, SUNDAY, AUG. 17. The Queen and the Prince are taking a day's rest here, after the almost incessant locomotion and excitement of the last week. To-morrow morning they start at 7 o'clock for Wurzburg, where it is expected they will arrive at about 8 o'clock in the evening. They will go to the palace of the King of Bavaria, where they will remain fur the night, and early the next day they go to Coburg. which. after another tedious day's journey, they are to reach on Tuesday evening. Her Majesty attends Divine service this afternoon at the English church, where service will be performed by theßev. Mr. Dunnage, the English chaplain. In the evening the royal party dine again with Prince William (f Prussia, at the Government-house. There is very little stir in Mayence to-day. A few people stand around the Hotel de L'Europe, staring at the sentinels on duty, and hoping to catch a glimpse of the Queen, and there have been one or two arrivals, a►❑ong them the Grand Duke of Hesse Darmstadt, who at once proceeded to visit her Majesty at her hotel. In other respects the town of Ma) ence is as quiet as so pretty and populous a place can be. But the ordinary habits of the people are those of an English holiday. They are to be seen, as in most German towns, strolling about the streets, on the quays, and especially on the bridge of beats, as gay and as idle as it life were made for pleasure alone. Yet there are proofs enough that the population are not idle. The shops are not very inferior .to those in the largest cities, and the buildings are on a magnificent scale. The new fortifications, too, which are now building along the left bank of the Rhine, are very fine specimens of workmanship. An additional air of gaiety is given to the streets by the presence of the Austrian and Prussian troops, whose glittering uniforms of mingled white and blue mix prettily enough with the general costumes of the people. One thing strikes a stran ger in Mayence—the excessive cleanliness of the town. Anything more beautifully white and pure cannot be con ceived. The houses, the ravement, all seen) as if they had been specially prepared for the occasion. It reminds one of some of our best English watering-places. Mayence, too, is full of associations ; but the chief interest to strange a consists in its being the birthplace of Guttemberg, Thor waldsen's statue of whom is erected in a conspicuous place in the city. The following speech, delivered by the King of Prussia, in proposing the health of her Majesty after dinner at Brhhl on Tuesday, the 12th instant, will be interesting. to the reader ; but, in order to enable hint fully to under stand the sentiment conveyed in it, it may be mentioned that it was formerly the custom of the German armies, after having won a battle, to fire, on the very field of battle, a rouud of all the artillery as a proclamati,.n of victory. This was called " Victoria Schiessen." The custom has grown into desuetude, but the term remains, and the word " Victoria" is, therefore, in the Gelman language, and poetry especially, consecrated to victory, and associated with the idea of a song of triumph after battle. Indeed, the word is only used in Germany in this reuse, except as the name of the Cloddess of - Victory. Tie object of the King in wording the toast as he did, was to pay a delicate compliment to the Queen of England, and the ori ginal, of which the following is a translation (by a German, let it be observed), is considered to have effected that ob ject. It is also a very excellent specimen of good racy Ger man diction : ‘• Gentlemen, fill your glasses to !the brim I There Is a word which inspires with unspeakable delight every British and German heart. That word resounded once over a field of battle, after a fierce st , uggle, as the symbol cf a brother hood in arms, which had been blessed with success. day that word resounds, after 30 years of peace, that happy fruit of the arduous work of those days, I•ere iu the German lands, on the banks of the beautiful stream of the Rhine— that wc,rd is Victoria r Gentlemen, take your glasses, and empty them to the last drop The object of the toast is, Ifer Majesty, the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland. Long live Queen Vic toria and her most illustrious Consort !' Among those who dined with the royal party while with the King of Prussia, was the celebrated Baron Uu►ubotdt. Baron Bulow was to have been present also, but was pre • vented by very serious indisposition. The route of her Majesty from the time she leaves the Rhine will be through a country where, in consequence of the peculiar dislike of the German people to anything like rapidity of communication, there will be considerable ditE • culty in sending early intelligence. It is more than probable. therefore, that some two or three days may elapse after the present publication before any account can be received iu London of her Majesty's further movements.

In the forenoon the Royal Family had been taken airings on the beach and pleasure grounds. • On Tuesday afternoon the Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred, the Princess Royal, and the Princess Alice went in a carriage to the beach. His Roj'al Highness the Duke of Cambridge left town yesterday afternoon for Richruoul Park. Dispatches from the Governor of Jamaica, and alao from the Governors of the other West India colonies, were revived yesterday at the Colonial-office. STATISTICS OF THE POSTAL SERVICE OF RUSSIA. (From the Constitutionnel.)) The receipts of the: Post-office department in Russia amounted in 1843 to 16,000,000 f., being about 1,000,00 UL more than in 1842. The expenses amounted to about 7,000,000 f., so that the net produce was 9,000,000 f. From the Ist July, 1843, to the Ist July, 1844, the number of private letters dispatched from all the post-offices of Russia amounted to 9,249,000, being 600,000 more than in the preceding twelve months. In these dispatches were included 7,221,000 letters. 1,812,000 letters remitting money, and 216,000 packets. The facility with which the Post-office undertakes the conveyance 01 money is the consequence, in a certain degree, of the want ti banks or other houses of credit. In 1843, the amount of money in metallics transmitted through the post was 1 ,000,000,000 f. In 1823, these remittances amounted to only 600,000,000 L The amount sent in 1844 is not yet ascertained, but during the first eight months there was an increase of 20 per cent. At the St. Petersburgh office only the mass amounted to 260,000,000 t. The Government money in these remittances amounted to 650,000,000 f. in the gross amount of 1843, leaving 350,000,000 f. sent from private individuals. In these sums bank-notes and commercial bills and notes are not compriseu. It is thus seen that the Post-office in Russia brings in about one-third of the same service in France, and that the circa/a• tion of letters is comparatively to that of this country not more than one-tenth, and consequently that it is the transmission of money that forms in Russia a large portion of the receipts. if, however, there be taken into account the great distances be tween the towns, the paucity of the population, and the insul eiency of the modes of communication, it will be found that the postal service in Russia is not badly organised, and that it is A general adequate to the wants of the people. In certain direu tions, it is true, it is more particularly instituted to meet the necessity of the Government, but trade and commerce d o not fail to profit by it, and 'taking all things into consideration, the means of circulation answer private as well as public interests.

Some idea may be formed of the strength of this vessel, when she requires a pad. die-beam of 64 feet 9 inches in length, and 2 feet. 2 inches by 21 inches in breadth throughout. The e.tticulty of ob.. taming trees of those dimensions for tits, beams baa bees completely obviated by the application of , }efferey's marine glee to four separate pieces; and by a new discovery in the app '-Wse• tion of that material, the adhesion has been effected in it cot* instead of a hot state, by the application of pressure by cram and with the most perfeot success the joined pieces ef timber, from the crossings of the grain of the respective pieces, being evidently strong er than b eams f orme d o f oat piece, Mr. Green, the ship -builder at Blackwell, has saistor war steamer of equal dimensions in preigress for the East Ina' Company.
