We have received the following communication from Oxford :—" The Reverend WILLIAM Goo NOCGR PENNY, M.A., Student of Christ Church and Perpetual Curate of Ashendon, Bucks, has re eigned his studentship on conforming to the Roman Catholic faith. It is also annyunced, and the intelli gence has produced a deep sensation, that the Re verend JOHN HENRI NEWMAN has intimated to the I Reverend Mr. WILLIAMS, the late candidate for the Poetry Professorship, the impossibility of his con tinuing a member of the Anglican Church." An evening Contemporary of Saturday, who is strongly opposed to the Tractarian heresy, gives a dif ferent version of Mr. PENNY'S case, and ob serves that the Dean of Christ Church, having been informed that this gentleman had joined the Church of-Rome, ordered inquiries to be insti tuted, when it " appeared that he had been a Ro manist for some months past, retaining his student ship and livings. A Chapter," adds our Contempo rary, " was held on Wednesday last, at which the Dean and Canons, after commenting in terms of due reprobation upon this shocking affair, struck off Mr. PENNY'S name from the books of the college." If this last version be correct, we do not wonder at the indignation manifested by the Christ Church authorities ; but in the absence of more authentic testimony we are willing to adopt the most favourable view of Mr. PENNY'S case, and to believe that he resigned his studentship the instant he found that he could no longer conscientiously conform to the Established Church. But how completely does this circumstance of his conversion to the Catholic faith confirm what we stated more than once at an early period of the Oxford controversy—namely, that the doctrines of the Tractarians lead, as a necessary consequence, to Popery ! More than one advocate of these doctrines has already abandoned the faith of his fathers—the faith in which he himself was born and bred—in favour of Catholicism, and now we find Messrs. PENNY and NEWMAN following the same example. *As regards the latter gentleman, we cannot but express our regret and :surprise that he has not seen fit, long before this, to announce " the impossibility of his continuing a member of the Anglican Church," for, from the very first rise of the Tractarian heresy, he was conspicuous above all others by his zeal in its favour. His was no mode ?ate, qualified approbation, but downright enthu °lam; he carried out its doctrines to the utmost 'Possible extent, and left even Dr. PUSEY far behind him in his advocacy of Puseyism. He was, in fact, an ult ra - PuseYite, and opposition, so far from checking his z ea l, served only to give an additional stimulus to it. Surely it was his duty, holding such views—views so utterly opposed to those of the Established Church—to have renounced on Ibis connexion with the Establishment l this, and to have frankly and boldly thrown Off Off the mask, and exhibited himself in hi s true °lours! But, despite its high pretensions Ind somewhat maginative character, there is a decided. taint of Jesuitry lurking in the constitution of Tractarianism ; it is specious and showy, abounds in clap-trap appeals to the external senses, and is fond of the picturesque in religion; lvt it is deficient in simplicity and straightforwardness, and while it is Well calculated to lead captive the susceptible fancy of youth, it makes not the slightest impression oti tht heart. Though we do not deny that Tractarianisra has done some good by rousing the sluggish feelings of Mother Church, and making her more active — from the pressure of necessity—in the perform ance of her duties, as little can we deny that it has been the means of doing a world of mischief, by unsettling men's minds, con founding the true with the false in religion, and sub stituting—or attempting to substitute—mere showy ceremonial observances for pure, heartfelt, unso phisticated worship. Our main objection to Tracts rianisrn is, that it has nothing s ubstantial—nothing sterling in its character. We believe that it is per fectly sincere in its wish to do good, but it sets about the task in a wrong spirit. It exhibits's fondness for theatrical display that is wholly at variance with the meek, modest, unobtrusive spirit of Christianity ; and puts forth such exalted pretensions, and justifies those pretensions in so imperious a fashion, that it is im possible for any one to acquiesce in them who is not prepared to surrender up all freedom of opinion, and turn a deaf ear to the calm, grave remonstrances of reason. We hope, in justice to his sense of right, that every clergyman who holds Tractarian doctrines, will immediately follow the example of Messrs. NEw- MAN and PENNY, and openly ~renounce his connexion with a Church of which it is impossible he can be a conscientious or efficient minister. The whole range of the British proverbs—those axioms of the concentrated wisdom of a nation—does not include one more profoundly true than this— " What should be everybody's business•is nobody's." We have never heard or read the frequent complaints that are made of the discouragement and gradual decline of our shipping trade, without being strongly reminded of the practical truth of this adage. - We are, essentially, a maritime nation. That we should be so is as indispensable a condition of our political existence as it is an incident of our geographical position. But upon the same fact: is based the peculiar fabric of our social system, with its large command of all the habits, and its enormous con- sumption of all the products, of those regions of the civilised world that trade with us. And it may be fairly contended, that to the moral _operation of the . . same cause are attributable many of those tendencies of our manners, tastes, pursuits, prejudices, and.pre possessions which, be their combined effect what it may in other particulars, imbue at least two-thirds of the entire population of the empire with what we must call, for want of a more significant designation, " the spirit of. seamanship." An Englishman gene rally carries about him some sort of vague irnpres iion, that in reality his " march is o'er the ocean wave," and that, in very truth*, his " home is on the deep." Nay, this spirit is of so overmastering a cha racter, that it is the culminating ambition of even his proverbial love of sport. An old sea captain, or a weather-beaten admiral, does not so-tire of his pro fessional career as to take to the turf for want of ex- citement ; but nothing is more common than for a veteran of the betting ring—an owner of running horses, or a master of fox-hounds—to subside into a bold and active member of the Royal Yacht Club. How, then, can the public at large look on, and, year after year, witness, apathetically, the decay or disparagement of that invaluable interest whose capi tal, talent, energy, and enterprise, are devoted to the noble occupation of ship-building, or the various and important dealings connected with the shipping trade ? How can the other great classes of the com munity look on without the most serious •apprehen- sion at the growing deterioration of this immense proportion of the floating capital (not to play upon the phrase) of the empire ? How can the statesman, the politician, or the economist, bring himself to regard, with indifference, the downhill progress of a depreciation which has attacked the present material value, and impaired the future prospects, of that com mercial marine in whose prosperity or decline is in volved the ultimate fate of - all the governing princi ples that now give to the British character its peculiar force, constancy, and power ? Simply— because " what should be everybody's business is nobody's." The Report from the " Select Committee on British Shipping," appointed by the House of Commons, and which Report (ordered to be printed on the 25th of July last) has just been issued from the Vote• office, is a document well calculated to awaken a wholesome and a very active curiosity throughout a most extensive body of readers; as: to details con nected with • this interesting subject. We ought rather to have spoken, indeed, of the " Minutes of Evidence;" and the documentary tables and papers attached to them, than of the " Report" itself, which is a mere declaratory statement of seven lines, suggesting no-remedies for the evils deposed to by the witnesses, and offering no opinions upon the effect of those depositions. Owing to that baneful practice of postponing important public_ business, which we have so often deprecated as signal defect in the adthinistrative management - of business before 1 the House of Commons—" the late period of the session" at which " their appointment took place, this Committee " have not found it possible to com plete their investigation, so as to enable them to come to a satisfactory report." They therefore lay before the House what "evidence they have already received, and trust that the reappointment of the Committee may take place at an early period of the next session." So do we ; for to a more important end their labours could not be addressed. N everthe 'ess, we have but little faith in such prospects, whilst the present habits of conducting business in House of Commons' Committees are to continue. The enor :nous value- of British commercial shipping engaged 'n the trade between "foreign countries" and Great Britain may be appreciated from certain papers given in by Mr. G. F. Your, the eminent ship-builder and owner, formerly Member for Tynemouth. In 1624, the Aggregate was 609,164—the foreign tonnage en tered inwards, for the same year, being 308,951. In 1841, the British tonnage had increased to 1,134,560 tons; the foreign to 530,161. But from a State inent of British Tonnage entered inwards in the United Kingdom from the "British Possessions and Colonies," in the years 1824 to 1841 respectively, we find that the enormous aggregate of tonnage, including the entire British colonial trade, coasting ditto, fisheries and steamers, was 3,361 211 tons ! Of this vast amount, 319,546 should be put down as " unemployed tonnage." The result would he, that in 1841 we had actually afloat and employed 3,041,665 tons in our own commercial marine ; ' a tonnage utterly without parallel in the history of any other State in the world, and representing a capital 'is afloat, which, taking a very low figure between the extreme ones for the cost of building an inferior. American craft at 61. a ton,' and a first class Thames built vessel at 201. a ton, we suppose we may safely estimate it, say at 91.—at 27,374,9851.—exc1u5ive of the 319,546 tons unemployed. But we fear that the year 1841 must be regarded as the last term (it was Also the highest) of prosperity attained by our ship ping trade. Mr. G. F. YOUNG (and no more compe ,ent or respectable authority can be quoted) is of opi nion that during the last three years the shipping interest has been in a greater, and longer continued Alte of depression, than he can remember it to have suffered under at any former period. Mr. Swam, the eminent shipowner, of London, concurs in this opinion, and so does Mr. SHALES, of Whitby. Mr. TANNER, of Sunderland, confirms it, with the pleasing qualification that in the present year the trade is ex hihiting strong indications of improvement, as com pared with the last. Mr. ANDERSON, of South Shields, considers its depression at this moment to be greater than it has experienced during the last forty years ; and Mr. S. HuLL, of London, thinks that de pression has been progressive since the year 1815, and that what little improvement may just now have shown itself is local only, and attributable to the new trade in guano. The same witnesses speak to the amount of this depression in shipping property and the rate of freights, as having reached, within these few years, from 25 to 50 per cent. As may be imagined, the witnesses assign various grounds for this depression. Some attribute it to the general de pression which they consider as pervading trade in general. Others refer it to the over-building of ships in 1839, 1840, and 1841, especially of inferior de scriptions, whilst the quality and building of foreign shipping has been carefully improved. Mr. Husus e SON'S recip roc it y t reat i es depression, largely challenged as a main cause of th e d owing to the very great disadvantages under which British shipping enter the ports of certain foreign Powers, as compared with . -. -r' , 1, la . it vif ,' 4- -- = • AuV, LONDoI4; TrtSDAY MORNIN those which we extend to shipping of those foreign flags. The cost of provisions, the heavy charge of light tides, the 'trinity ilduse pilotage; and ether regulations, and some causes still more remaricabie, are given among those which have worked to the shipowners the serious amount of injury complained of. But as these are matters at once too complicated and too grave to be summarily disposed of, we shall return to the subject on a future occasion. We have accounts from Madrid of the 27th, the day on which NARVAEZ WEIS to have been assassinated. The whole affair, a brief account of which appeared in The Sun of Saturday, bears a very suspicious cha racter. It is more like a miserable ruse`—a low in trigue got up to frighten the peaceful inhabitants of Madrid, and make them submit quietly even to martial law during the discussions on the Reform Bill. The very manner in which the news is given excites suspicion. " General NARVAEZ was ,to have been assassinated at the gate of the French Embassy. General PRIM was arrested and other arrests were rustic)." Of the arrests we have no doubt, and as little doubt of their object, but that any attempt was to have been made on the life of NARVAEZ we have not the slightest proof. It is all mere assertion, and re sembles the fictitious lots and conspiracies which have been blazoned forth by NARVAEZ and. Co is l ever since they assumed despotic sway over the Spanish people. The affair at Barcelona has more the appearance of a reality,. as some of the unfortunate persons arrested have found. . According to accounts from that town of the 29th ult., four persons had been condemned to death; and nine to the galleys. A permanent courb-martial was established. The following individuals besides PRIM have been arrested at Madrid:—MENDICATTI, former Aide-de-camp of ESPARTERO ; Don Bias MONTENEGRP, Don MIGUEL FERRER, Don RAI:A‘EL GARCIA, Don, MIGUEL MOLIA, and - Don CARLICTO INFANTES.

The Paris papers of Frlday and Saturday are en. tirely destitute of intelligence. Friday, indeed, no business was done, it being All Saints' Day, and only two papers were published. Petty contests; for want of better, are carried on by the Ministerial and Op position journals relative to the merits and demerits of the GUIZOT Ministry, and the former certainly have the best of the fight. The following amusing attack on M. Tunas appears in the Paris Globe: - - " The Ministry of 'October 29 has existed for four years, and still exists, in the name of the King. in the names of the two Chambers, in the names of the elec toral body of the people. It has never shrunk from the judgment of either of these powers, by whose,' con currence alone, according to our present constitutional system, Cabinets are formed and supported. It is im possible to find a position more precise, more strong, more constitutional than 'this. Those who deny the legitimacy of the Cabinet, and. its right to remain in power, must, to be consistent, deny the legitimacy of the Constitutional Government, and they should call not only for a change of Ministry, but for a revolution. To take no account of the opinion of the Chambers, the opinion of the electors, is to take no account of the charter s • is, in fact, to reject it. When, froin the appreciation of the value of the as- Sent of the Chambers and the electors, they proceed to the appreciation of the acts of the Ministry, the Opposi tion journals are still more contradictory and blind. Tn. Constitutionnel, the Siecle, and all the other journals of M. Thiers, find that the cannon of Beyrout and Saint Jean d'Acre was more honourable to France than the names of Tangiers, Mogadore, and Isly. The 'Constitu tionnel and the Siecle find that a rupture with England would give France , a stronger position in Europe than a cordial understanding with her. The Constitutionnel and the Siecle find that. France, which manufactured muskets in 1840, was more prosperous than France in 1844, when she is manufacturing iron rails for railroads. According to M. Thiers and his journals, the words Honour, Force, Prosperity, should be thui defined in a new edition of the Dictionary of the Academy—viz.: Honour :—A word which expresses the action of putting one's self under shelter on the approach of danger. Example-f ecal of the fleet to Toulon in 1840. Force—The result oh isolation, and not of union; union is not strength—the wisdom of ages tells us so. Prosperity—A state of affairs in which unproductive expenditure is increased tenfold, leading individuals to the workhouse and nations to bankruptcy. If we compare the point of departure of the Ministry of October 29 with the point at which it is, arrived, we shall find a striking difference. Had this Ministry done no more than repair the faults of that of March 1, it would still have done much. But it has done more. It has not contented stself with repairing, it' has reconciled the secondary interests of the people with the interests of peace. This grand and fruitful idea will survive it, and the system of the entente cordiale will long be called in diplomatic language the system of Oct. 29. We should like to know what has - survived the Ministry of March 1? A speech in which the English alliance was cried up to the point of sacrificing to it the naval power of France; and a speech in a disunion with Eng land was cried up to the point of sacrificing to it the peace of France. Two contradictions within a few months—and nothing more I" The Courrier Francais says : " We are informed that all the irresolutions of the Indii Ditto under Consols for Account Exchequer Bills. • •••••••••••44,011 ii% 100 I%d. lid Ministryon the subject of the loan' are at id end. It is said to have been resolved to issue the remaining portion of the 450,000,000 f. that •has not yet been negotiated. These 300,000,000 f. are to be done -in the Three per Cents., and the contract is to be decided about the 25th instant. The illoniteur of Friday contains a Royal Ordon- . nance, dated October 30, for the re-organisation of the Polytechnic School. A letter from Berlin of the 28th ult, in the Journal de Frankfort, says : " The Government has sent a strong note to the Ha noverian Government against the commercial treaty concluded with England, and has recalled Baron de Seckendorff, the Prussian Ambassador. We cannot say what the precise terms of the note may be, but it is cer tain that it uses strong language against the anti-Ger manic conduct of Hanover. There is no possibility of an arrangement at present, and consequently the post of Hanoverian Ambassador at our Court will remain vacant, and Count de Hardenberg will not have any successor. On the other hand, it is confidently asserted that the King has received from the King of Holland overtures for a commercial connexion between Holland and the Zollverein." The following appears in a Havre journal.:-- " The long-projected idea of carrying on the corres pondence between Europe and Peru, across the Isthmus of Panama, is, it is said, about to be realeeed. M. Mar cescheau, the French Charge d'Affaires at Bolivia, was charged by his Government to find the means of esta blishing this service, but has hitherto met with insur mountable local obstacles. But Captain Boulanger, who is well known and highly esteemed at Havre, and has resided in Peru for several years, has come forward and undertaken to realise the plans of M. Marcescheau. It is proposed that three fast - sailing vessels, ably com manded, shall be appointed to convey the letters, pas sengers, and merchandise r between Callao and Panama, touching every voyage at Payta. By sending the dis patches from Europe to Chagres, and thence across the Isthmus, to be again embarked from the point at which the new packets arrive, it is expected that they will reach the city of Litna in 60 or 70 days from the time of their departure, whereas it requires double the time for them to arrive at their destination by the pessage round Cape Here. It is probable that, through the active ex ertions of Captain Bolanger. who ie the director of this new line, the project is already carried.into execution, and that this way of communication will be announced to the public, and must be received by all interested in it with the approbation and pleasure it is so well calcu lated to excite." .

Staples, of the Albion Tavern, Aldersgate-street, has been spoken of by the excellent judges of the Corporation of London as one of the finest ever got up on so extensive a scale.

Among the more importaut signs -of the times, as connected with the affairs of Ireland, and the more rapid development of its resources, natural and acquired, is the extension of railways between the principal partt of the island. And it must be gratifying to all those who really have the welfare of Ireland at heart to find, now that the fervour for repeal has received a check from the princi pal agitator himself in favour of federalism, that parties of wealth and importance are stepping forward to encourage rapidity of intercourse in Ireland by means of railways. Blink the fact hoWever we may, the moneyed men of this part of the United Kingdom have for years hesitated to connect theinselves with nearly all the im portant plans that have been brought forward to im portant the condition of the people of the sister isle. What a new state of things, under hope of poli tical quietude and increased industry, will prevail in this country ! The proof is that our capitalists are now anxious to support plans for the formation of railways, &c., in Ireland, and that ere long, under favourable cir cumstances, a portion of the surplus money of the richer classes of England will be invested in property in lots Ireland—a desideratum lolooked for on the other side of the Channel. The private commercial accounts received to-day from India and China are not of much interest. Money was more plentiful, and the prospects of trade good. The Codsel Market has not been• firm this morning, Money being in request.for commercial purposes. The expectation; too, that the new loan for the French Go vernment for about 12,000,0001., the adjudication for which is expected to be made to-morrow, rather tends to tighten the Money Market. No doubt the loan, if brought out by an influential firm in the City, would be eagerly subscribed for, as investments in new rail ways are not so much sought after as they were. Consols for Money have been quoted at eat, and for the Account at 994 to per. The premium on Exche quer bills is again lower, via., at 645. The Commis sioners took Consols to-day at 994. Bank Stock opened at 2044 and ie now per cent. lower. An improvement has taken place in the Converted Portuguese Bonds this morning, from 524 to 534 Spanish Actives have been sold at 234 ; the Three per : Cents. at 35 ; the Dutch -Two-and-a-Hull per Cents. at 621 ; Colombian at 14 ; and Mexican at 345. The New Belgian Two-and• s-Half per Cents. are at 4to 1 per cent. premium, but there is scarcely any of it in the market. In Railway Shares there has not been much busi ness done to-day. In general, prices are rather lower han at the close of last week. PRICES , OF. BRITISH FUNDS AT ONE O'CLOCK.

His Majest* it is said, intends to give fetes in that splendid residence m the occasion of the marriage of the Duke d'Aumale. The ordonnance for the re- organisation of the Poly technic School is composed of sixty-one articles, re-pro luting the principal regulations of the ordonnance of )ct. 30, 1832. The Commission appointed by the Mi nistry for the re-organisation has preserved all the ele ments which haw rendered the School so celebrated. The principal innovation relates to the intervention of the Academy of Sciences, which is no longer to have a direct presentation for professorships, &e. The School continues to be subject to military discipline, and the pupils are to retain their uniform. Nothing is said of any expulsions on account of the late insubordination. The Paris Court of Aseine, after having been engaged for six days with the trial of a band of not less than forty-one thieves, nearly all of them of the lowest grade, has just pronounced its judgment upon the prisoners. Very few of them were acquitted ; and the others, some of whom were living in a state of concubinage with the leaders of the gang, received sentence to various terms of imprisonment ; in some cases with hard labour for ten, fifteen, or twenty years. Lenoir, a receiver, who had for some time been living in apparent respectability as a jeweller, was sentenced to five years imprisonment, with hard labour. The 25th of the present month is fixed for the opening of the English plays at the Theatre Italien, and every thing augurs most favourably for the success of the en terprise. Nothing can.exceed the good feeling manifested generally by the Paris press in favour of the undertaking, a feeling originating doubtless in acknowledgment of the munificent encouragement given to the dramatic art of France by Mr. Mitchell, as director of the French the atre in London. The price of bread in Paris, for the first fortnight of the present month, is fixed at 32 centimes the kilo gramme for the first quality, about 4d. the 41b. loaf. We learn from Presburg that the Hungarian Diet has come to a resolution that the nobility shall contribute a subsidy towards the expenditure of the State, but that the Government is not to have the application of the money, .The amount of subsidy is only equal to 250,0001., which is a. very small sum, considering the immense - -ritorial possessions of some of the nobles.

Majesty's war steamer the Cyclops,' Captain Austen, to proceed to this port for the purpose of ins pecting the bay, and reporting the result to the Admiralty. At the Manchester,rounicipal elections, in eleven of the wards there was no opposition, and all the candi dates returned were Liberals. The total result was 13 Liberals and 3 Conservatives elected. A portable wind instrument, adaoted for signals on railways, and also for the use of the police, or game keepers, was submitted, through Colonel Wylde, to the inspection of Prince Albert on Saturday, by Mr. Richard Portesus, one of the band of the Scotch Fusilier Guards. His Royal . Highness was pleased to express his approbation of the invention. About 5,000 acres of.

An active opposition to the Kendal and Windermere Railway has sprung up in the locality which it is in tended to traverse. At a public meeting held the other day, Professor Wilson in the chair, resolutions were passed pledging those present to oppose the railway by all legal means, and subscriptions were entered into to carry that object into effect. By , the following returns from the Small-pox Hospi tal, it appears that there has been admitted 496 patients during the past ten months, averaging fifty patients per month. There has not been so large an admission since the year 1781, except in 1838, when the number was 712. On Saturday the Rev. Joseph Pullen delivered the first of a course of lectures on astronomy, at the Gresham College, Basinghall-street, City. These lec tures are mere farces, and it would be well if they could be done away with altogether, and the'money applied to some useful purposes. Mr. Greene, the Irish Solicitor-General, has been suf fering from illness for some weeks past. He went to Leamington, and subsequently to Buxton, in the hope of deriving benefit from the waters ; but he has again re isirned to Kingstown, not at all better than he had left it.

It is expected, notwi'hstanding, that the forts will be reduced before the Bombay troops arrive. INDIA AND CHINA. (From the Times.) We have received the Bombay mail of the Ist of October. The news which it brings is not very re markable. The chief intelligence relates to disturbances in the southern Mahratta country, which has been some time in a disturned state. Some of the malcontents seized two of the strong hill forts, where they hoisted the standard of revolt against the Raja of Kholapore. They consist chiefly of Arab troops, who placed themselves under some bold leaders, and bade de fiance to the Raja and his allies. A force was sent ,hy.the British authorities to disperse them. It eon rsisted of 50 artillerymen and troops, amounting to about 1,200 men, under the command of Colonel Wallace, of the Madras army. An attack is said to have taken place on one of the forts, in which the rebels defended themselves stoutly with their long guns. Some soldiers were wounded on the .side of the British, for the'bill forts from their position are difficult of access. The British were subsequently firing and throwing shells into the first fort, which is situate about 25 miles from Belgaum. The other is 18 miles further off. The Bombay Government was on the alert in making arrangements ior having its disposable regi ments ready for any emergency that might arise. Lieut.-Colonel Wyllie, of the 21st Bombay Native Infantry, who had taken his passage - by the steamer, was ordered to stop and join his regiment. The steamers were in Bombay harbour under or ders to be ready to remove troops at a moment's notice. Nothing serious was apprehended, but the Govern ment is acting with prudence in being prepared to meet every difficulty. Serious riots took place at Surat on the 29th of August, in consequence of the popular dissatisfaction on account of the increase of the salt-tax from half a rupee to one rupee (25.) per maund of 801 b. Troops were promptly sent there by the Government, and the disturbances ceased. The Supreme Government subsequently ordered, by virtue of instructions from the Court of Directors, that the increased duty should be in the Bombay Presidency only the sum of one quarter of a rupee (6d.) per maund. This arrange ment has apparently pacified the people, although there were petitions made against the tax. In Sinde tranquillity prevailed, and the health of the troops, with the exception of one or two stations (Sukkur and Shirkarpore), was very good. The climate in general in September was highly agreeable, and half the prejudices excited against the possessim; of the Indus by the outcry of some designing per sons had vanished. It was even reported that there was an intention of making it an integral part of the Bombay Presidency, and of increasing the Bombay army so as to be able to maintain the British rule in Sinde. There have been blunders committed by the troops there. Captain Mackenzie; at the head of some cavalry, in pursuing the Belochee robbers, came on a body of armed men ; they were said to be Ryots, who had gone out to attack the Beluchees. His cavalry cut them to pieces. This fact has been exaggerated, as if the troops did not spare their own friends. Sir Charles Napier was proceeding to Upper Sinde, in order to regulate its affairs on a proper basis. An inquiry hid been instituted into the conduct of Colonel Moseley, of the 64th Bengal Native Infantry, on account of the late mUtiny, but the results were not published. Sixlif the thirty-eight soldiers concerned in that disgraceful affair had paid_the penalty of their liveS the others were variously punished. The 78th Highlanders were proceeding to Sukkur. toreiieve her Majesty's .13th Light Infantry, which regi ment will, it is expected, proceed without delay to CHINA. The Samarang has been fired upon by a French man-of-war. We have not been able to ascertain► particular-, but we vouch for the truth of the report which has reached us. Captain Geere would do well were he to publish the facts of the case. Indeed, the French are everywhere offering indignity and insult to the British flag. 'Though we deprecate war, we cannot put up any longer with such insolence. Bombay Courier. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Overland Price Ci:rrent, October 1.) THE MARKET.—OBSEICVATIONS.

The monsoon is now drawing to a clorie, and has, -on the whole, been very. favourable for agrienitural opera tions.in most districts; but, notwithstanding this favour able circumstance, which usually gives_ an , impetus to commercial operations, the demand for :imports has not been equal to that expected, and buyers are yet UP Willing to purchase largely, except at low prices. AITALB.—The sales .of metals of all kinds during the month have been very limited. We have been inf .- wird that 3 : 500 ewti. of copper have been •sold, to arri're, et the foll Owing prices :—Braziers at s2krs; to 52ir5.,, tila at 47irs., sheathing at sOrs. to 500., and raised botiou3 s at 55rs. per cwt., being a little below the quotations of. last month. The importations have been rather large in . the last two months. Of iron very few sales have -been reported ; holders are g, florally firm in their demand for advanced prices, but the dealers do not seem inclined to , submit to them ; the quotations of last n oath are there- . fore continued, but they are notoinal. Lead was sold• about three weeks ago at lOirs. per cwt., but the de' mand was not great, and that rate ct;nnot now be ob .. tained. Spelter has been sold at 15irli. for 141 b., and 15rs. for 40 to 601 b. plates, and prices are,firm. . The following are among the sales of this raonths • and are reported for insertion : COPPER.

In the Punjaub. confusion and. anarchy prevailed. j Heera Singh governed at Lahore, in the name of the. Young Maharajah Dluileep. He was engaged in collecting a force to combat- with his own uncle, Ghoolab Singh, and with the widow of Suchet Singh, the brother of Ghoolab, who was anxious to punish Heera for the late dastardlyinardex of her gallant husband, Suchet Singh.. . - There appears to be an apprehension on the British frontiers that some of those conflicting • parties will enter the British territory, or that. of the protected. Sikhs, our allies, where the interference of the Bri tish Indian army will become imperative. Notwith standing the policy of the present Governor-General, Sir H. Hardinge, is supposed to be altogether pacific, he, like former British rulers, must conform to cir cumstances, and be ready to defend or to attack. It was rumoured that Sir H. Harding* would soon pro ceed to the north-west, in - order to confer with the Commander-in-Chief of India, who was at Simla, and perhaps even with Sir Charles Napier, the Go vernor of Sinde. It is useless to disguise from public view the po litical propriety of the British dominion being esta blished in the Punjaub, the possessiun of which fertile country is necessary to the security of India, as being the chief gate through which all past invaders by land have entered. The country is at present a prey to civil discord, and without any efficient Go vernment; for the Prime Minister and his relatives were the disputants, and the descendant of Runjeet Singh was but a mere puppet in their hands. The Government of Affghanistan, as administered by Dhost .Mahommed; . was in the usual state of turmoil; conspiracies,. .revolts, and 6kirmisheS about the revenue kept that chief in continual employment. The ex-chief of Jeitpore, Pareechut, and his two relatives and chief supporters, Pula wan Singh and Kumimple Singh, both leaders of the rebels. who lately kept the 13undelkund districts in a distracted state, had offered to make terms with the British; but after some parleying with , the second, the negotiations are said "to be broken oft; to : the dissatisfactiOn of the troops, .who are likely to . be .'harassed in chasing, those. bandits and their followers . through the moun- tainous districts, _ The new rulers at Gwalior, although appointed under the British, are busied in peculationS, and in oppressing the Ryots andZemindars, subject to them. The object of those rulers being to gather . money as soon as they can, they care not about the means they use fol.' that- purpose. It was thought that the British authorities . .would have to compel them to adopt another course. , The -unfortunate Christians who' were formerly employed bythe Gwalior Govern inent, having been turned adrift, were in great dis tress, and a subscription had. been raised for their relief, under the protection of the Lieut.-Governor , t' the North- WeAttrti provinces. There was considerable excitement in Bombay relative to the approaching trial of Aloo Paroo, one of the heads of the Bunder gang, and who is accused of t•eing involved in the burning of the Belvi derA ship. His trial was fixed for the 7th of r 1 0 er. He had been arrested at Jinjeera , a small isla eighty miles south of Bombay, where he lay cone led for some months, but he was surrendered by Raja on the requisition of the Bom b ay Go veent.
