The Punjaub lis again in commotion. A revolution broke out, and Thera Singh, the Raja, and Jells Pundit, have been killed. As usual, there are several accounts of the cause, &c., but the following is said to be the most authentic:—From the very ill-feeling that had existed for some time between the mother of the Maharaja and Heera Singh, an explosion was looked for, sooner or later, as inevitable. She applied to Heera Singh for some command of trust for her brother, and was backed in her demand so warmly by the council of the army, usual on such occasions, that Heera got alarmed, and put off the matter until next day, before daylight of which he was on his way, with 800 troops, to some place in the vicinity of Jumboo. The Khalsa troops in Lahore, on hearing this, pursued him, and, on coming up, killed him, Sella Pundit, and several others of the Raja's ad herents. The heads of the Raja and Jells Pundit were brought to Lahore, and carried in procession round the streets. The next day salutes were fired, and the mo ther of the Maharaja held a durbar. The English Go vernment had, it was believed, no idea of interfering in this instance (though the time may not be far off when it will be obliged to do so), not being in the slightest bound to assist or uphold either party or Ministry. A revolution had taken place also in Nepaul, but from the circumstances it is generally believed that it was a got-up affair. The Raja had promised to abdicate in favour of his son. When the time came he refused, on which the son, assisted by some chiefs, deposed him. The new Raja is only seventeen years old, and an idiot. The Government would be compelled to interfere. The war, however, was expected to be one of diplomacy rather than of arms. Sickness still prevails among the Highlanders at Sukkur. They were to be removed immediately. There had been rather a serious disturbance at Hong- Kong in consequence of a registration decree issued by Government, which was resisted by the Europeans, who in an address to Council styled it as " iniquitous, arbi trary, unconstitutional, and despotic." A good deal of bickering was the result between Government and the Europeans, as the former refused to answer the address. Three thousand Chinese left the island, and at last the Government deemed it fit " to amend and modify" the registration ordinance. There were still, however, some articles in the " modified" decree which were objection able; for instance, that of obliging all Chinese vessels to report themselves immediately, and to register their passengers within twenty-four hours. The consequence of this is, that while Macao is crowded with junks, few or none have come to Hong-Kong. Most of the Chinese who left the island had, however, returned.

BERLIN,FEB.I2.—The news of a contemplated commer cial treaty between Sweden and France, has excited some sensation here, because it is thought to be preparatory to an alliance between the two States, which is very se riously thought of in Stockholm and Paris.

W. W. SIMPSON, sometime in the month of March next, of which due notice will be given, in Three Lots, HORRIBLE MURDER and HIGH WAY RUBBERY. The usually quiet neighbourhood of Hampstead and Kentish-town, throughout the whole of Saturday, pre sented a scene of the most intense excitement, in conse quence of the discovery of a most inhuman murder and highway robbery which had been perpetrated upon a gentleman the preceding evening in a field near Bellsize Park, Hampstead. From the statement of the constable in charge of the body it appears that between 7 and 8 on Friday night, Mr. Hilton, of West-end, was proceeding along the Finchley-road, in the direction of the Swiss Cottage, in a cart, when, all of a sudden, his attention was arrested by hearing screams of murder, which appeared to proceed from the vicinity of the footpath leading to Bellsize Park. At this juncture he perceived a gentleman, who turns out to b e M r . Kilb urn , junior, the : son of a gentleman residing at Haver stock-terrace, coming from the direction of the Swiss Cottage, who was about to take the path from the road in the same turning as the noise appeared to proceed from. Mr. Hilton immediately told Mr. Kilburn what he had heard, and added, " Sir, if you will see about it, I will at once drive to the Swiss Cottage, and follow you." Mr. Kilburn then went forward. Upon arriving at the end of the field he was horror-stricken at seeing the body of a man lying on the ground, on the western side of the stile. In alarm he ran back to wards the spot from whence he had started, crying, " Mur der," and " police!" his cries reached the ears of Ser- Peant Fletcher, of the S. di v i s i on , w h o , accompan i e d b y olice-constable :Abbott, hastened in the direction of the cries, and shortly after were joined by several other persons from the Swiss-cottage. They then found the body of a very respectably-dressed man, about three yards on the Hampstead side of the stile, lying on his face in a pool of blood. He was quite dead, but warm, and the blood was running from a frightful gash, which had, to all appearances, been inflicted by some sharp in strument over the right eye and temple, and from the back of the skull, which was literally dashed in, causing the brain to protrude. The body was, without a moment's loss of time, con veyed on a stretcher to the Yorkshire Grey Tavern. It was there examined, when the pockets of deceased were found some of them turned inside out, and it was evi dent, from the appearance of the waistcoat left-hand pocket, that the unfortunate deceased had been in the habit of wearing a watch, which had been taken away. Nothing whatever was found on his person, with the ex ception of an envelope with the superscription, " J. Cooper, Esq., Hampstead-road" Near to where the body was discovered was found one of the deceased's gloves (a black kid one), the other being still upon his hand. His hat was discovered some few yards from the spot where the body lay, in the narrow ditch passing along the outside of the wall of Bellsize Park—it is of beaver, nearly new, and bearing the name on the inside, "Massey, maker, Hampstead-road." The wounds at the back of the head were probably inflicted by some blunt instrument, whilst the injuries over the right eye and temple have been done with the sharp edge of a shovel, or some weapon of a similar description. No clue has been obtained likely to lead to a discovery of the murderers, nor has the body been as yet identified. The following is an accurate description of the person of the unfortunate gentleman :—lle was of fair com plexion, sandy curly hair, about five feet six inches high, and rather inclined to corpulency. Tho features appear much swollen and covered with blood. The ge neral opinion is that he was not more than twenty-six or twenty-seven years of age. His attire consisted of a black beaver hat, brown wrapper of fine cloth, with brown velvet facings ; black body coat with velvet collar, black kerseymere trousers, and a dark blue single breasted vest (valencia), with a small red flower and sprigs • Wellington boots, and his li nen , w hi c h i s o f t h e very dnest fabric, is marked " D" with indelible ink.

The removal of Colonel Outram is altogether de nied by the Delhi Gazette of the 24th ultimo. It de scribes, " on competent authority," the act to have bee❑ purely voluntary on his part, as from the beginning he had undertaken the duty of inquiring into the causes of the disturbances in the Mahratta country as merely a temporary affair, having been promised by his own Go vernment some lucrative position in the Baroda Presi. dency, and that he declined the office of permanent Eu ropean agent of the Kolapore country, offered him by Sir G. Arthur, subject, of cense, to the approval of the Supreme Government, The Bombay papers speak of his going to Europe by this mail The news by the last mail of the honours conferred on the late Governor, Lord Ellenborough, had been received with delight by the army, and had met with great cen sure on the other side by those unfriendly to him. The non•arrival of the ships Runnymede and Briton, the former from London with recruits, and the latter from Sydney with a detachment of her Majosty's 80th Regiment, and nine officers, together with all the mess plate, is causing great uneasiness, and great fears are entertained for their safety. The Company's steamer Enterprise had been sent in search of them. Some of the ex-Ameers of Sinde proceeded by the Ilindostan to Europe. The first opium sale was held on the Gth ult. ; the prices were lower than was expected ; the average of Patna being about 1,235 rupees, and the Benares 1,067. The largest sale of indigo ever held in India took place the day before the departure of the mail. 1,683 chests were sold, and the prices were uncommonly good. Prince Waldemar, of Prussia, had reached Calcutta a few days before the departure of the mail. The Precursor steam .ship, from London, arrived at Calcutta on the 25th of D.cember. Her average speed throughout the voyage from Southampton was 8} knots an hour.

THE REVOLUTION IN LAIIORE. (From the Calcutta En9lishinan.) We are in receipt of Ferozepore letters of the 24th and 25th ult., and they contain somewhat different versions of the Ministerial revolution at Lahore. One of them confirms the account we have already give', and which we know to be the true one, though the other gives us a detail, from a Frenck letter received from Lahore, which states that Ileera Singh is only a prisoner. The particulars now before us are, that Heera Singh, accompanied by Jella Pundit and a few followers, left Lahore for Jumboo, having expressed himself disgusted with the insatiable demands of the soldiery (what else could he expect ?), and having quarrelled with his own party ; but that he was followed by Jewahir Singh (Dhuleep's maternal uncle) and others, and was overtaken at Shah Darra, a place about 14 miles from Lahore, and was there taken prisoner. It is also added, that as Jewahir Singh is in the ascendant, he will be glad to entertain European officers again; and that as Englishman calling himself Maitland, who admitted that he was a deserter from the horse artillery at Umballah, had presented himself at the &mbar, and was ordered to be detained till a reference could be made to the British Government. This man may probably be one of those who went off with Ensign Moseley, or possibly that unfortunate young man himself, for we believe that Govern ment are well informed of that party's having gone into the Punjaub. Except that Heera Singh and the others whom we mentioned on Friday were certainly slain, and that Lena Singh is now the Minister, and not Jewahir Singh, the above detail is very likely correct. (From the Delhi Gazette.) DECEMBER 23. It is now certain the heads of Jella Pundit and of Heera Singh were brought in the evening before last. That of Meean Sohun Singh was only brought in yesterday by a Nahing, who was instantly rewarded by the gift of a jagheer of 500 rupees. These three heads were yesterday carried about in a great procession by the Sikhs, and were then sus pended for general inspection, first before the Lahore gate, and subsequently before the house of Kurruck Singh, and a great fair was held yesterday, and will be continued to-day. The reason for the heads being exhibited before the house of Kurruck Singh is, that it is now occupied by Sirdar Jewahir Singh, and was to have been the scene of his own death had the Raja been able to compass the event. The bodies of Raja Heera Singh and Pundit Jella were left on the ground where they fell, and guards placed to prevent their being burnt. The bodies of Meean Lab Singh and Nicke Dewan Dewanund (son of Delbagra) were brought in to Lahore. This made up the five heads reported formerly, w it h _ the ex ception that the heads of the last two were allowed to remain hanging to the bodies, and that of Sohun Singh, though not actually received, was hourly expected. The body of Meean Lab Singh has, I am told, been sent off to the place where Gooroo Bhae Bheer Sing h was killed at hisi nst i gat ion, to be exhibited there in the same manner as that of a highway robber and murderer. The body of the junior Moonshee De wanund was burnt yesterday, and with it a young and hand some wife of 14 years of age was sacrificed. He was only 18 years of age, and distinguished himself in a signal manner when defending himself and his master for their lives. How many poor innocent women will not be put to death with the garments of the unfortunates who fell in the battle, as a terrible offering at the shrine of the abominable p racti ce of Suttee, as it is still all powerful in th e hills, though here, thank God, these horrible sacrifices are becoming much less frequent. It is reported to me upon credible authority that Meean Lab Singh, seeing the turn affairs were taking in the battle, attempted to fly from the scene, but was instantly pursued. Seeing no alternative he took off his golden arm lets and threw them to his pursuers, praying for his life ; but nothing would stop them. He then threw down his sword and shield, and begged for mercy. He was told that this was no time for mercy; on which he gathered courage and defied them so as to be put quicker to death, praying, how ever, that they would have pity on his remains, and have them decently burnt. This happened a koss beyond the spot where Raja Heera Singh fell.

Among the 10,000 in use, they have been adopted by the official authorities of the Houses of Parliament, Woolwich Dock-yard, Somerset-house, Foreign-office, Thames Tunnel, United Service, Reform, Conservative, and other Club-houses, the Queen's Theatre, Chinese Exhibition, and many other large establishments. Upwards of 20,000,000 cubic feet of gas have passed through some of these meters without regula tion or repair, sad which are still working to the entire satisfaction of the gas company and consumers. All gas consumers who study economy and a good light are invited to avail themselves of the advantages and comfort to be derived from the use of Defries's Dry Meter, but, to prevent the substitution of im perfect imitations, it is necessary at all times to order Defries's Dry Meter, and to observe his name on the brass badge in front of all his meters.

Extract from. the " Times" of Nov. 9, 1844. " Mr. W. W. Simpson, the well-known anft deservedly respected auctioneer and laud valuator, has recently published a Pamphlet, en titled ' A Defence of the Landlords of Ireland, with Remarks on the Relation between Landlord and Tenant.' " The " Dublin Evening Packet," in reviewing this Work, gives tho following character of its Author:— " Mr. Simpson, we scarcely need remind our readers, is an English man of vast experience in matters relating to the improvement and value of land in his own country. He is moreover a gentleman of most comprehensive views, and possesses an understanding naturally strong, and a stock of practical knowledge and sterling sense, which falls to the lot of very few persons in his own or any other rank of life. " With the social condition of Ireland he has made it his business, almost as a matter of necessity, to make himself thoroughly ac quainted. He feels for her wants, and has contributed as much, per haps, as any man in his time to improve her resources, by en couraging the investment of British capital in every department of Irish industry. Such a witness as this we therefore hold to be beyond the reach of suspicion, on the score either of interest or partiality. His testimony mast be regarded as invaluable as it is unquestionably unimpeachable."

GLOBE.—The debate on the motion for inquiry into the alleged detention and opening of Mr. Duncombe's letters at the Post-office, terminated at an early hour this morning, after a spiriteddebate. The numbers were—for the proposed committee, 145; against it, 240; thus giving a majority to Ministers of 95. By refusing inquiry, the House has shown itself far more regardful of the wishes of the Government, than desirous of possessing the respect and confidence of the country. With the motives which actuated the majority of the honourable House we have no disposition to meddle. That they were pure and disinterested, there can be no reason to doubt. Those who compose it are all honourable gentlemen. And yet we should be unwilling to impute to one of them, in his individual capacity, and outside the walls of Parlia ment, the conduct which they have unitedly approved. To plain, unsophisticated minds, unskilled in the logic of St. Stephen's, the question appeared to be as simple as the prin cirde,sfirtominvohliysedpalraeceimipnortthaent.HoAuseZ: lemeohmerplaornsthethaLteghisis tuie letters have been intercepted in their passage through, and opened at, the Post -office. The letters of other persons had been similarly dealt with. Both Houses of Par liament had appointed Committees of their own to investigate and report on the other cases ; but in the case of the com plaining Member, his especial case was not included in the in quiry nor alluded to in the report. With this he was naturally dissatisfied; and avails himself of his privilege as a Member of Parliament, :to ask the Home Secretary whether he had issued any warran authorising the Post-office authorities to detain and open his letters. That the Home Secretary possessed power to issued such a warrant was not denied. That he is responsible to Parliament for the way in which he uses that power, is beyond all doubt. The question was one of course, and ought to have been replied to in a mono syllable--" Yes," or "No," as the fact might be—without equivocation or explanation. The Home Secretary thought proper to shroud himself within the veil of official secresy. His oath of office would not admit of his disclosing the secrets of his department! That which, under the special circum stances of the case and of the country, might be capable of a good and substantial defence, becomes mysterious, and is justly suspected of being an art itrary and wanton aKlication of a power, the use of which can only be justified under circum stances of extreme peril to the peace and safety of the country. As Mr. Chas. Buller, in the course of his admirable speech of Thursday evening, observed :—" I certainly think one of the most justifiable !questions I could ask any man, if I suspected him of opening my letters, would be, Pray sir, did you open my letters ?' I don't think that is an idle question. I conceive that a man's letters ought not to be opened ; and that, if he finds they have bean opened, he has a right to en explanation. No reason can be given why there was not a 'Yes' or a ' No,' at once. Every thing would have gone right if the Secretary of State for the Home Department bad been able to give a civil answer to a plain question." By refusing to supply the re quired answer, Sir James Graham has surrounded himself with suspicion ; and exposed himself to imputations which, in private society, would be intolerable to a sensitive mind. We can readily understand that duty may demand from a public functionary the performance of acts from which he would, as a !private individual, instinctively recoil But, we apprehend, when placed in such a position, he will be anxious to show that, in being a party to those acts, he had no alternative. If when he is asked as to his participation in those acts, he wriale and twist ; admit and retract ; and, finally, take refuge in the secresy of office— whenever conduct such as this is exhibited by a public officer. those who witness it will be apt to cast upon the individual the odium of acts which might be defensible, and even praise worthy, if done under the imperative obligation of public duty. Lord John Russell, in his more-than-usually ex cellent speech of last night, placed this pa ve are persuaded,rt of the ques that ques tion in a powerful point of view.. the Noble Lord's clearly- defined distinctions will regarded as the constitutional gro und on which the power invested in the Executive can alone be allowed to rest, either with safety to the rights or in consistency with the honour of the country. The question, as presented to the House by Lord John Russell, seemed really to forbid the possibility of a negative being placed upon it. The Noble Lord's observa tions in condemnation of the practice of using the extra ordinary power—vested in the Executive for the preservation of the public peace of this country—for the gratification of Foreign States, were conceived in a spirit, and delivered in a tone, which will be responded to by every man who under stands and appreciates the benefits and blessings which dis tinguish Britain from the continental states of Europe. We feel assured that henceforth that invidious power can never again be put in motion for purposes so base as those which occupied the attention, and called forth the indignation of the of the last year. country in the course DUTCH AND HAMBURG MAILS.

CUXHAVEN, FEB. 16111.—The mails brought by the 6 P LATEST PARTICULARS. SUkDAY NlGHT.—Shortly after eight o'clock yesterday (Sunday morning) the remains of the murdered man, which still lie at the Yorkshire Gray public-house, at Hampstead, were identified by Mr. Kitchner, baker, of Whittlebury street, Euston-square, as those of Mr. James De La Rue, a professor of music, occupying apartments in his house, and supposed to be a relative to the eminent card manufacturers of that name. Mr. Kitchner states that the unfortunate gentleman left his home on Friday evening, about a quarter before six o'clock, stating that he was going to keep some appointment which he had made. On his departure he was observed, as usual, to have in his possession a silver hunting watch attached to a geld watch-guard. He also wore two valuable rings on his right hand, and on this being stated to Mr. Hunt, the constable of Hampstead, the glove found was pro duced, and the right hand of the deceased was also exa mined. The glove was split down the centre, and had been torn off by the assassins, and the marks occasioned by the pressure of the rings were still visible on the fingers of the right hand. Mr. Kitchner also states that he never knew the deceased gentleman to go out without a considerable sum of money in his pocket. It appears that the murdered man, who is but twenty eight years of age, had for some period been acquainted with a young woman, with whom, according to a letter found in his possession, he was in the habit of having occasional meetings in the neighbourhood of the locality where he met his tragical end. It has already been announced that an en velope was found upon him addressed "J. Cooper, Esq., Hampstead-road." In this envelope was found a letter signed, "Caroline," which addressed him as "My dear James," and in which the writer intimated that she was pregnant by him, and solicited an interview at their usual spot. Mr. Kitchner states that he has been aware of the fact that letters have been left for the deceased at a shop within a few doors of his house, addressed, "J. Cooper, Esq. ;" that they have always been delivered by hand; and it has been ascertained that the letter found, which bears no postmark, was left for the deceased on the morning of Friday. Shortly before seven o'clock on Friday evening the mur dered man was seen in emptily with the girl in question, whose name and connexions are known, arid who, much to her credit, voluntarily came forward as soon as she became acquainted with the dreadful occurrence. They were seen together in the neighbourhood of the Swiss Cottage, and she was observed to leave him, taking her direction towards the Regent's -park. Mr. Hilton, a baker of West-end, who was serving his customers on the road, saw the deceased take the path towards the stile where he was found murdered, and in ten minutes after heard the cries, which he communicated to Mr. Kilburn, and which led to the discovery of the body. At first it was supposed that a portion of the stile close to which the murder was perpetrated was made use of as the means of destruction, in consequence if its being found broken, but it is known to h ave b een b ro k en f or some considerable period. It is gratifying to state, that by the exertions of the police, aided by the local authorities, a clue has been obtained to the perpetrators of the horrid deed ; but, of course, the particulars are withheld, as their publication might tend materially to defeat the ends of justice. The following circumstances, however, ought to be stated in connexion with the matter, as they may in some measure tend to alleviate public ex • citement. About a quarter before seven o'clock three men, dressed as half-labourers, half-mechanics, entered the George public-house, near Pond-street, and, having had some gin, one of them accosted the postman (the George is the district post-office), and wanted to sell him a hone for sharpening a razor, but on his declining to purchase they uttered some abusive language and went out. The landlord of the George states that in about two minutes after this he went out, and on proceeding up the town was accosted by the same three men, who begged alms of him, but he told them he had no money, and passed on. It must be observed that the post man remarked that " He shouldn't wonder if they heard of something in the neighbourhood before morning," and this being impressed on the landlord's mind, he watched the three men, and saw them go down Bellsize-lane towards the spot where the murder was committed. He had not gone far before he was overtaken by a carpenter named Smith, living at Hampstead, who said he had been stopped by three men answering their description, and who demanded his watch and money, but on his showing them he had neither allowed him to pass. The landlord of the George states that lie went into the Black Boy, and in about three quarters of an hour after he had seen the three men in question he saw, on arriving in Heath. street, the police going with a stretcher to fetch the deceased, who, he was told, had shot himself. These circumstances leave no doubt that the three men alluded to were the murderers, and the hone in all probability was the instrument with which the wounds on the back of the head were inflicted. During yesterday, notwithstanding the unpleasant state of the weather, hundreds of persons visited the scene of this outrage, and the Yorkshire Gray was also thronged with visitors. Mr. Wakley, the coroner, was early informed of the sad catastrophe, and in the first instance issued his warrant for a post mortem examination, but the cause of death was so ap parent that the warrant has been withdrawn. The inquest will take place this day. THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT.—We were indebted to the spirited proprietors of The Sun for the receipt of two copes of that journal for Friday evening early on Saturday morning, containing about ten columns of the speech of Sir R. Peel, and Parliamentary proceedings of the same evening. —Leicestershire Mercury. RAPID REPORTING.—On Saturday evening last we were favoured with a copy of The Sun newspaper of Fri day, containing a report, extending to ten columns, of Sir R. Peel's financial statement. Sir Robert did not commence until nearly five o'clock on Friday afternoon, and soon after two o'clock on Saturday the paper, containing his whole speech arrived in Carlisle, and the substance of the speech was issued from this office to our subscribers.—Carlisle Journal. ~. _ Dewan had got two koss further, not far from the Jamadar's 2d Baolee, to the small village of Kavanvala, when they were overtaken. On seeing them approach the inhabitants of the village ran off, on which the fugitives_entered one of the houses. 'Phis-wits-ntarke&-by tbe - Fursuers and insta n tl y set on fire, on which the Pundit and his companion came out.. In their anxiety to possess themselves of the golden orna ments on the person of the Pundit and the Dcwan, the Sikhs who were of the band cut off the cars of -the former and the hands of the latter, and then cut • them to pieces. The Dewan's young wife was also plundered of her ornaments by the attendant Sikhs as she was being led out to be sacri ficed on the pile of her husband's body. Who can say after this that any of Raja Heera Singh's party were allowed to e !cape? The Sikhs would make mincemeat of all they could have caught. There is no doubt in my mind that all had been arranged beforehand, viz., that the Raja was allowed to escape, so that his death should not occur in the town, to avoid the damage and carnage that might otherwise occur. THE REVOLUTION NEPAUL. (From the Calcutta Star.) On Saturday forenoon we received intelligence of some re volutionary disturbance having taken place at the Nepatil Court, and of a consequent march of troops towards our fron tier, which had caused some precautionary measures to be taken by the military authorities at Benares. But, though we thought that the rumour which reached us was well founded, yet, as we could not obtain it in a form satisfactory enough for publication in that evening paper, we resolved to see what another day should bring forth, the rather as we ware anxious to send home the correct intelligence in our " overland." We have not been disappointed in our expec tation of obtaining a correct version of the business, as far as it has gone, and our readers may rely on the following state of the case, namely:—that the Nepaul Raja has abdi cated in favour of his son, and the troops that were en the march towards our frontier have returned ; and all is at present quiet again at Nepaul. But, although there may have been an appearance of force in bringing about the ab dication, we have reason to believe that this was merely a part of the arrangement; for the son is quite an idiot, and, of course, totally incapable of either compelling an abdica tion or of carrying on affairs, now that he is at the head of them; and he must, therefore, be a mere tool in the hands of his father and the Minister. It will be seen, then, that the present state of affairs will not be allowed to last, what ever the ex-King's scheme may have been, for it cannot possibly meet the approval of our Government, which will accordingly interfere to either restore the status quo, or, at all events, to put an end to the puppetry of the present state of things. Depend upon it, it will be promptly and vigorously dealt with. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. We have to announce a revolution in the Government of Nepaul. The Raja has been deposed, and his son, a youth of about 16 or 17 years of age, raised to supreme power. It seems that a pledge had been given by the father to retire in favour of his son, the fulfilment of which promise he delayed from time to time, till the young man, backed by Mautubur Singh, a powerful party o f th e chiefs, and an army of no mean magnitude, peremptorily insisted on its performance. The Raja still firm in his refusal, his son threatened to march on Ilenares, and had actually started with about 6,000 followers, when his father overtook him and induced him to retrace his steps. The result was that the abdication was forced upon the Raja—the young man WAS elevated 10 the guddee, and there our intelligence stops. As Man tubur Singh appears to have been a prominent actor in this affair, it may not be uninteresting if we remind our readers of his somewhat eventful career. He is con nected with Beem Sen, the late celebrated Ghoorka warrior and statesmen, one of the leaders of the war party in 1815. The vicissitudes which he has undergone within the last few years would make no bad foundation for an eastern romance. bispatched to Calcutta in 1835-6 as Envoy Extraordinary from his Court, he became for some weeks the special lion of the Ditch, and, the object of his mission accomplished, was dismissed with all honour to his native mountains. There faction had been busy during his absence, and the Ministry of the day were ejected through the machinations of the then Rance and some of her Brahmin advisors, with the usual exhibition of ferocious cruelty common to an oriental revolution. Mautubur Singh was almost the only one of the males of his devoted family that escaped death. Crossing our frontier, he made his way to the Sutlej, with the intention of passing into the Punjaub, on the plea of having certain funeral rites to perform over the grave of his father, who was killed in action with the Sikhs when the Nepaulese endeavoured to establish themselves, about 1810, at thnfoot of the Kooloo hills. The body of the slain chief was interred where he fell, at Jovalu Mookhee, which had additional sanc tity in the eyes of Mautubur Singh, owing to its being a teerut, or place of pilgrimage, famous throughout Hindostan for its burning well. Neither religion, however, nor filial piety was allowed to have any weight at the time in further ing the views of the expatriated Ghoorka, as political exi gencies existed which rendered it highly inexpedient that a Nepaulese officer, who might become the secret agent of his state—known at that time to be hostilely disposed towards our Government—should establish himself at the Court of Lahore, even although the latter Power had long professed the sincerest friendship for us. Refused again and again per mission to cross the Sutlej by our authorities on the frontier, Mautubur Singh, whose resources began to fail him, and whose position was desperate, left our territories in defiance of prohibition, and deceiving an incautious political agent at Loodiana, threw himself, as a fugitive, at the feet of Runjeet Singh. Negotiations were fairly set on foot. to procure the rendition of the Nepaulese. Runjeet, as much from a point of honour as from motives of policy, maintained that he would be disgraced for ever in Hindostan did he give up, for some time aeleast, the fugitive who sought the shelter of his roof. This was at the time of the march of our army into Affghanistan, and it was not till several months after wards that Mautubur Singh accepted a stipend from our Government and came to reside at Umballah. Matters meanwhile, in Nepaul, had taken a turn more favourable for his interests. The remnant of his party was restored to royal favour, and he was enabled to return to his native country, to become in his turn a principal agent in effecting the revolution we have announced. FRENCH ACQUISITION IN THE EAST. We find in the lllauricien an account of the recent oecn pation of the Island of St. Paul by the French. The situa tion of that volcanic island is well known to most Indian readers, many of whom have passed very near it in their outward passage. We were puzzled to guess the object which had led our ambitious neighbours to occupy so uninviting a spot, possessed of no harbour, scarcely, indeed, affording shelter or anchorage, and too barren for cultivation. The French have notoriously a rage for colonization; but there are so many unoccupied spots more desirable, which they might colonize if they pleased, that it appeared an unac countable whim to convert such an island into a dependency of the Grande Nation. It appears, however, by the report before us that it is a private speculation, not a national en terprise. Certain Frenchmen have discovered that the islands of St. Paul and Amsterdam are an excellent fishing station, and that the surrounding seas abound in cod fish of the best quality. They have taken 1,200 fish daily, and expect with their present means to increase their catch to 2,000. The object is to supply the Bourbon market, salt cod being the principal food of the negroes in that colony. According to the account before us, the self-constituted French Governor has already warned off an American who desired to fish near the island, or, to use the terms of the French editor, he only departed, in consequence of the representations made to him by the Governor. The 2 1 / a uricien doubts how the French Government will regard the establishment at St. Paul, which will only interfere with their own Newfoundland fishery, a trade supported by heavy bounties, and, therefore, we may reasonably suppose, a special favourite. It will, therefore, be a question whether the hatred of " perfidious Albion," which is gratified by colonizing, will supersede the power of class interests, and induce the French to sanction this unautho rised settlement. In a military view, it is utterly worthless, as there is no possibility of securing even a single vessel against the attack of cruisers; and, consequently, it will not be useful in preying upon British commerce, although its position so near the track of outward-bound ships would otherwise make it an important possession in time of war. EAST INDIAN SUGAR. Fort William, Home Department, Dec. 28, 1844. The Governor-General in Council is pleased to direct the publication of the following resolution : Resolution.-1v a resolution of the Government of India, dated the 21st orOctober, 1842, the privilege of importing sugar into Great Britain at the lower rate of duty fixed by the Act of Parliament 6 and William IV., c. 26, was ex tended to sugar the growth of the Tenasserim provinces, a previous resolution which excepted these provinces from the operation of the prohibition contained in section 3 of the Act being then rescinded. The Government of India authorised this measure upon the representations of the officer, at that time Commissioner of the Tenasserim provinces, which were to the effect that the local manufacture of sugar was equal to the local consumption, and that foreign sugar might be easily and effectually excluded. Inquiries have since tended to show that these representa tions were made upon insufficient grounds, and the Governor General in Council is now in possession of information which satisfies him, not only that foreign sugar continues to be largely imported into the Tenasserim provinces, but that it is at present necessary that it should be imported to meet the full demand for local consumption. The Governor-General in Council, therefore, seeing that the conditions on which alone the Act of Parliament allows the importation of East India sugar at the reduced duty can not for the present be fulfilled as respects the Tenasserim pro vinces, is pleased to rescind the resolution of the Govern ment of India, dated the 21st of October, 1842, and under the power vested in him by the 3d section of the Act of the 6th and 7th of William 1%., cap. 26th, to direct that it shall now again be lawful to import into the Tenasserim provinces foreign sugar, or sugar the growth of any British possessions into which foreign sugar can be legally imported. G. A. BUSHBY, Secretary to the Goverment of India. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Price Current.) CALCUTTA, JAN. 7. We can scarcely notice the slightest alteration in our markets for either imports or exports since our last issue of the 20th ultimo, although the late accounts from home were in several instances of a somewhat discouraging nature with regard to the latter ; and, notwithstanding the advices re ceived of a rise in price for almost all articles of British ex port to this country (particularly metals), we are still unable to quote any corresponding improvement here, although holders of late seem disposed to show more firmness. Money, for all commercial purposes. continues abundant, as may be seen from the low ruling of our exchange on Eu rope,notwithstanding the extensive shipments o f produce that are a accounts un ou t r g are going forward. After the delivery of the letters on the 23d u ltimo market in indigo became very active, without the from home having any effect on prices here, or if any , it was, 175 Company's rupees at auction paid for one ul in favour of sellers. The highest price rua thi r l y fi lu rst t Feb marks, whereas the J A S--1.1 has lately of 178 Company's rupees, so that sold at an average we may he re by conc l u d e rupees that we are now from 10 t o 1 5 bruary rates. above last y ear ' s F e - We have up to date,— , 12,000 chests sold by public auction, Maunds. 8,000 chests sold by • or say 42,000 And parcels private contra c t, or say 28,000 shipped or to be shipped on plan ters' account ............. So that, although shipments as yTetotaaml oun 0 8 n 2 13. 550 55,347 maunds, we may consider the total quantity above-men tioned to be decidedly out of the market ; and we confidently depend on prices being maintained, at all events until the arrival of the next mail, and even then we do not think it probable any material decline will take place, as we are aware of a great many orders on hand, which can be executed at from 10 to 15 rupees under present rates. From the extent of the crop we were led to anticipate that the quality would prove very satisfactory, and are disappointed at finding that, with a few exceptions, the manufacturing has been much neglected in the lower provinces, whilst, on the contrary, we must confess that in Tirhoot and the upper provinces they appear to have done their best to improve the quality; and that they have succeeded will be perceived on reference to the annexed table, by which it will be found that the H. M. Carnareah and P. E. have realised better prices than some of the Kishnagur and Jessore marks. The E nglish and French have throug hout the past fortnight been in competi tion for all descriptions, which accounts for the high prices paid, as we remark that neither the ALWITIVAILI nor the 810 .~ -} ~~ r- ~ , ~ 1 r
