At tt meeting of persona, held the 17th day of December, s 4s i at No. 25, Throgmort on•strect, London, to consider the objects Med in an advertisement recently published, and which was read as follows : There was intelligence received from Golconda on the 13tta. which announced that heavy firing had been heard in the neighbourhood. No report of the cause or result had, how ever, come in. The supposition is that our troops had en countered some obstacle which required to be overcome. It seems probable that the business in that quarter will engage attention for some time to come, particularly on accountot the sickliness of the season. PRICE SD. PUBLICATIONS.. "RAILWAY LITIGATION. At ft preliminary meeting of persons intere s t e d, held the 2d d a y of December, 1845, " It was resolved,—That proceedings at law having been threatened in various railway matters, it is very desirable that, with a view to the equitable arrangement of just demands, and the resistance of claims obviously made under the impression that the dread of ruinous law charges will induce compliance, as also to ascertain the legal liabilities of cettittfitt.e-ineti, shareholders, and applicanta for flifthek to elicit the actual circumstances of various projects (matters far too weighty and important for indivi• atm' responsibility), a confidential meeting be speedily convened of Plates who are interested in these objects."

It Is obvious that individuals having to enforce their rights against, or to-resist unwarrantable claims by bodies Corporate in their cite= 1 • ratter, and having in their hands large funds, will do so at a serious , disadvantage, 'without an arrangement for co-operation Auld mutual 1-_. assistance, and the aid of a subscribed fund.

Offices of the Company and Working Factories, 159, Drury-lane. _ The Company is formed for the purpose of carrying out , more ef ' rectually working, and bringing into general use, an invention se , eared by letters patent for an improved manufacture of gas. , The apparatus is so portable it can be fitted up on any descrip lion of building, even at a kitchen range, without affecting the do ' kestic arrangements, and the 11re used in ordinary in generating the *, 6, will be ample to produce steam for warming the most extensive Remises. ...The most eminent engineers and chemists unite in opinion that 'tie invention is not only practicable and free from smell or annoy !nee, but by this valuable patent is secured the manufacture of a nre and superior gas, not on ly on new , b u t esund, s ci en tific, chemical, wild mechanical principles, which have been hitherto overlooked in the common modes of manufacture ' • besides, this gas possesses more of the illuminatin g p o w er , and will b urn longer, than that now In use, In the proportion of 40 per cent. In favour of the invention. The patent method is applicable to lighting generally, but more UDecially stnalltoWlll, villages, lighthouses, colleges, churches, dock ,_,Lrds, theatre*, public offices, prisons, barracks, railway stations, rhtlfactOries, printing-offices, madhouses, hospitals, and schools, and warming the buildings, without extra expense. .- - he benefits which would accrue to lighthouses, dockyards, and n ntnerou4 localities, where the ordinary gas cannot be conveyed Vtithout the formation of many new Acts and Companies, or at im lnellse expense, would be sufficient to obtain for this Company the Meat prominent and prosperous position. Th. great saving to the consumer, the small portion of room requi- Site for the erection of the apparatus, the simplicity of its working, and the brilliancy of the gas, will insure the adoption of the invention throughout the kingdom ; and although the public can be supplied at It price which will defy competition, the Company can confidently hold out to those disposed to become shareholders a return upon their capital of not less than fifty per cent. The Company being far advanced, will be in a situation, when fUlly registered, to take contracts immediately. Applications for shares, in the usual form, to be made to, and flirther particulars obtained of, the Solicitor, and also the Secretary, It the Company's offices, where may be seen the apparatus at work, and the brilliancy of the gas exemplified.

(From the Overland Bombay Times of Dec. 1, 1845.) SummAnv.---Intelligence of a warlike character was received yesterday from the Punjaub. The Seikh.,Go vernment, it appears, have become incensed at the re ported intention of the British authorities to appropriate the territories on this side of the Sutlej, and have urged the soldiery to march towards the river, with the view of repelling the expected aggression. By the last ac counts some cavalry had actually proceeded in the direc tion indicated, and though opinion was divided as to the policy of the movement, more men were expected to follow. In the meantime strong measures of defence have been adopted at Ferozepore, and as Sir Henry Hardinge may now calculate upon having a well-dis ciplined force of some 50,000 men at his command, there can be little fear of the result, whatever course the reckless spirit of the ISeikhs may impel them to pursue. Ghoolab Singh remains at Jum boo ; the Ranee continues to conduct the affairs of state ; and the army has been separated into three divisions, and placed under the respective com mands of Sirdar Tej Singh (the ex-Governor of Pesha wur), Raja Lall Singh, and Sirdar Jewun Singh. Lall Singh is very unpopular. Several deserters from our army have been taken into the Seikh service. Our news from Sinde is of a favourable complexion, the troops continuing -healthy, and the country tranquiL . Islam Khan, the Boogtie chief, is said to have'surren. dered himself to ;Captain Tabor, at Shanpoor. Sir Cr Napier was to leave Kurrachee in the beginning of De cember on a tour of inspection. The proposition for an exchange of territory with our ally Meer Ali Moored is before Government. Nothing positive has yet tran. spired in regard to the conspiracy recently discovered at Gwalior. An official investigation into the circum• stances is still, it would appear, going on. The kingdom of Oudh and the dominions of the Nizam seem to be still Tieing with each other in the ex tent of their internal mismanagement, and the de gree of oppression to which their inhabitants are subjected. The Nizam continues to struggle with pecuniary difficulties, which not even the practice of unparalleled extortions can overcome. There is no in telligence of striking interest from Affghanistan. The matter in dispute between Lieutenant-Colonel Wallace and Captain Le Grand Jacob his been referred for the investigation and decision of a court of inquiry at Bel gaum. Amongst our local incidents we may mention that the Malay who committed such frightful butchery a short time since, by " running a muck" in the native town, is to be tried at the criminal sessions of the Su preme Court, which commence on the 3d instant. Cap tain Curtis, of the Ist Lancers, a most active and Intel aigent 01143 been appointed superintendent of po lice. Mrs. Deacle, of the Calcutta boards, is about to open the new Bombay theatre. We hear that a colli sion took place at sea, about eleven o'clock on Saturday night last, between the steamers Sir James Carnac, Cap tain P. Duverger, and the Parsee, Captain Grisdale ; the former was on her passage to Tankaria Bunder, and the latter returning from that port laden with opium and treasure, to the amount of 315,000 rupees; (31,5004) The crew and passengers of the Parsee were all saved, but the vessel and cargo went down on the spot. The Carnac returned to Bombay yesterday morning. THE PUNJAUB. The news from the North West, which extends to the 14th ultimo from Lahore, and to the 18th from Feroaepore, is of very serious consequence, the probability of a rupture between the British and Seilth forces being now stronger than has ever appeared since the departure of the Governor General from Calcutta. Indeed, unless the courage of the turbulent troops in the Punjaub should ooze out at their fingers' ends on the prospect of hostilities, it is impossible not to anticipate, before long, the commencement of a " Lahore Campaign. The last i . e' We have no space for a detailed narrative of the events which have taken place in the country of the five rivers since the date of the tidings sent home by the last mail. '-wresting to the English reader. prove ~ triguing Tha subjoined succinct account, however, will doubtless thread of the story at this date, October. Resuming 'he ofthe Ranee, - the paramour weelligence from Lahore reached to the 25th of find Raja Lall Singh, .-- •• A, the favourite of the against Sirdar Je i yun t s i eb ., ~ °veiling on her late broth er , th e murdered vizi er, and p._ • +' nom his highness, on the plea of fraud , to suspend bin , _ , e, office, and imp o se first thought of en hint a fine of a lakh of rule., - . (10,00010. The attachment of the troops to the Sirdar, who had t reate d them with kindness Anti consideration, prevented the executio n of the m andate for his stispension , Witli r espect to the fine, he appears, Seikh-like, to have et paying it out of the public treasury, but on this design being frustrated he handed over a fourth of the amount and demanded an examination of his accounts, de daring that he was innocent of the offence imputed to him, and was unable to give more, lie was then, it is said, placed under surveillance, and ordered to retrain so until he should prove the honesty of his transactions or pay the balance of the tine. About this time news arrived that the troops at Pesha- Wur had become refractory, and that some regiments on their Way to that province had created great disturbances killing their commanding officer, and confining severalothere. The flame of rebellion seemed also about to be kindled in the neighbourhood of J e caw it a in ffi o r o n:e a d nd too t , ha t t ha h t e ß h a a j d a r Ghoolab Singh be d sent off his family an d a grea t d ea l o f hie treasure to its v-- .i .u'se forts ta. beyondlt w-as d himself proceeded in the same direction, with a view of in spttting his strongholds. On the 20th of the October Maharaja and the Ranee, - kith their s uite, took their departure for Umritsir, attended by Sirdar 'rej Single' Lall , Singh, and other principal Officers of the state, and accompanied with a strong military escort. On the following day a purwannah or royal missive was dispatched to Ghoolab Singh, demanding payment of the ~e esae a " for sorno territory near Wuzeerabad, and threaten ing the resumption of the land if the requisition were not at once complied with. Several senoys who had been dis charged by the Raja as untrustworthy, arrived on the 31st at Lahore. The /loge had no, sooner reached Umritsir than an at tempt was tr ade to dispose finally of the vacant office of vi zier, and this was done — of all ways in the world—by lot I Th e name of Lall Singh was drawn, as a matter of course— the Banee havin6 taken especial care that matters should ged airly. Owing, howe ver , not be mans l' to some representa tions made by Tej Singh, the khelut (or symbol of investi ture) was riot immediately conferred upon him; and the in tenigence of his selection, on reaching Lahore, occasioned „„,, t c aeitement amongst the troops there, who, as usual, b'..-- heftily ofgolden ) talked very Seiklis at Linfritsir Wire also averse to his appointment, chiefly on the score of his intimate connexion with her High ness. The Ranee, during her stay, visited Govindghur, rnd naturally enough wished to obtain some of the treasure se eured there, in which, however, she was opposed by the officers arid men in charge, who said that there was an order by Runjeet Singh, prohibiting the removal of money from the fort, except in case of necessity, such as "war against a pub lic enemy : Her Highness eventually obtained tee: lakhs, *bo x were expended in completing the payment of the troops. - The Court left Umritsir on the 4th, and arrived on :the next day at the Shaleemar Gardens. News awaited th,e Ranee of a victory at Jesrowta, of which place the state troops had succeeded in gaining possession. On the 6th a polite commuication was received from Ghoolab Singh, " assuring the Sirkar that his anxiety to make it worthy of acceptance (!) was the sole cause of his not having as yet sent his Dusserah nuzzurana, and that he would not delay the same much longer." Dowan Aloolraj, the Nazim of Mooltan, another defaulter, not having been shrewd enough to forward a similar courtly apology, was ordered to be threatened with unpleasant measures if he did not at once send in . his present to the durbar. Raja Lall Singh now entered on the performance of the duties of vizier, `under the immediate tanction of the Bailee, hilt without possessing the confidence of the troops or their leaders. The astrologers having recommended the Ranee to post pone her return to the city until the end of the month of Kartick, the Court still remained at the gardens of Shaleemar. A dui'bar was held here on the 7th, when it was made known that intelligence had been received, " speaking positively of the intention of the British authorities to take possession of all the Seikh territory belonging to the Sirkar on their side of the river ;" where upon a deputation front the troops was directed to be sum moned, in order to consult with the officers of State as to the measures proper to be pursued. The deputation attended the durbar the next day, when a three hours' ponference took place. "The Sirkar," says the correspondent of the Delhi Gazette, "represented to them_ that in consequence of the varied nature of the intelligence received from the other side of the Sutlej, from which it appeared that the British were inclined to break the solemn treaty by which they had bound themselves to the Seikhs,it was,necessary that the whole of the troops should be prepared for any emergency. To effect this it was absolutely necessary that responsible chiefs-should be nominated by the Sirkar to the command of the troops. and recommended that the following should be appointed Commander-in-Chief, viz. :—Sirdar Tej Singh, SirdarJewun Singh Toshekhaneea, and Raja Lall Singh. . The second was declared "Lord Jungee Khoord," or junior commander in -chief," to whom were allotted twelve battalions, with directions to proceed . towards Peshawur, and take military charge of that district. Sirdar Tej Singh received the title of "Lord Jungee Kalan," or senior com mander-in chief, under whom were placed all the Aeen troops, with the command of Kussoor and Phuloor, while Raja Lall Singh was declared " Lord Moolkee," with charge of the cavalry' and the income and, expenditure of the army. The Ranee undertook to discharge the office of wuzeer herself, and to govern the country in the name of the Maharitja. The aspect of affairs now grew suddenly warlike. Some deserters from the British camp were taken into service on, good pay, and some Zu meendars from the north bank of the Sutlej, who offered to undertake a foray into the British' territories, received from Dewan Deena Nath an assurance that their proposal would . be laid before the Government. On the . 9th . the cavalry were informed that Lall Singh had been appointed their commander, and this, it is said, "pleased some of them, but wag a source of dissatisfaction to a considerable majority." Information ' arrived that Ghoolab Singh had returned to Jamoo, and that owing to a reduction of the pay of his troops great numbers of them bad quitted his service. This was deemed a favour able opportunity for the exercise of a little royal authority, and a purwannah was accordingly issued directing the Raja to repair forthwith to Lahore. It was not supposed, however, that this order would be obeyed. The prospect of hostilities at first greatly elated the troops, and they stated that "if only permitted to cross the river, they required no pay or gratuity from the Sirkar." The impression that war was about to take place became at this time so general that people actually began to remove their pioperty to safe places, for fear of loss I The subjoined are the arrange ments said to have been agreed upon "in consequence of the report ed advance of more British troops to the banks of the Sutlej" . " Twelve battalions of infantry, six regiments of cavalry, and four battalions of artillery, to proceed to Kussoor. Six corps of infantry, three of cavalry, and two of artillery, to encamp at Phulloor. Further, that four battalions of infan try, two Zumboorkhanas, and 5,000 irregular troops, should proceed to Murree ke Goozur. This would leave four corps of infantry and two of cavalry available for service towards Peshawur. The four battalions of infantry, with 2,500 ca valry, at Jesrowta, have been directed to hold themselves in readiness to march to a place opposite Rooper as soon as they should receive an order to that effect. The Sirkar has also issued orders to the troops to the following effect I—first, that they are to keep themselves ready to march; secondly, that no demur of any kind is to be made when the order should be given; and thirdly, that the whole, when on march from the capital, were to obey the instructions of Sirdar Tej Singh, who would be appointed commander-in-chief." On the 10th some Zumeendars from the south side of the Sutlej made their appearance at the durbar, and offered to do their best "to invite the people to oppose the Bri tish." The Ranee is said to have replied that " for the pre sent it would be better to keep quiet, but as soon as their services might be required their promise would be remem bered." On the next day the battalions of Mewa Singh, annd Ghoolab Singh (not the Jamoo chief) with the Dhera Court Sahib, were selected for the march to Kussoor ; and considerable excitement appears to have prevailed amongst the troops, some of them saying that as soon as the order was issued they would proeeed with such celerity as to dine in Lahore, and drink the customary draught of water after the meal on the other side of the Sutlej. The order for the return of the Jamoo Raja to the capital was now counter manded, and he was told that " there was now no imme diate necessity for his coming to Lahore, and that it would be more expedient for, him to -remain in the hills and-keep the people there in order.;,' , On, .the.. 12th further accounts arrived of the-mutinous conduct-of the troops marching to wards lieshawari, who, it appeal-30.4d expelled. several ef their officers and killed another of the number. The Rajah of Pattialah, one of the "protected" states, sent to say that he was being "greatly annoyed" by the British authorities, and that troops ought to be sent to his assistance: it was be Nyho had dispatched the last batch of Zumeendars, and "it was certain that the moment the Sirkaree troops crossed, the whole country would rise against the British." It does not appear what notice was taken of this communication. Some troops were to have marched on the 13th, but owing to an eclipse of the moon, and the approaching close of the month of Kartick, the movement was postponed. A little vacillation and wavering, too, began now to be perceptible. A report gained circulation that the order to march was a mere ruse, to get rid of the troops while Raja Lall Singh should be pub licly declared vizier; and it was resolved that, should this be the case, " they would nevertheless insist on having the golden bracelets." The uncertainty of the soldiery as to the arrangements actually in contemplation appears to have been somewhat further increased by an attempt made by the Sir kar—but which failed—to get the Kites troops removed from Lahore to Peshawur. Notwithstanding all this, an actual movement took place on the 14th, in the direction of the river, on the part of some cavalry who were formerly under the command of the late Raja Heera Singh. We subjoin the account given in the Delhi Gazette of the proceedings on this day ; " Nov. 14.—The battalions of Khan Singh, Man, of Ghoolab Singh, Provindeea, of the Dhera Masran, Walee and of, the Dhera Court Sahib, were ordered to send out their standards this day to the encamping ground. The first and last only obeyed, and prepared themselves in every respect for a start. Similar orders were issued to a large body of irregular cavalry, with assurances that they should receive their pay the moment they had reached the Sutlej. As soon as they should have been paid they were to cross the river into the territory of the Sirkar Khalsajee, and there await further orders. These preparations lead many people to be lieve that the war is actually impending, whilst others main tain that the real object is to get the army from Lahore, and then make certain contemplated arrangements. In the after noon the cavalry of the late Raja Ileera Singh marched from the capital in the direction of the river. The Aeen troops have further resolved that, "although troops were assembling in large numbers on the other side of the Sutlej, yet there was no pretext for fighting: and that if any neces sity arose, they could easily reach Ferozepore in one day." It will thus be seen that the troops are decided in opinion as to the necessity of an immediate march against the British forces; and we think, judging from the want of unanimity, that no very formidable act of aggression is likely to occur. The British authorities appear to have acted with much caution and vigilance. Owing to the threatening aspect of affairs, ;the 63d Bengal Native Infantry were ordered to halt until further orders. Four companies from other Bengal Native Infantry regiments, two squadrons of the Bth Irregular Cavalry, and two guns from the European Foot Artillery, were sent from Ferozepore, in order to meet and protect convoys which were expected to arrive in charge of 20 lacs of rupees. Orders were issued to fill the horse artillery ammunition waggons, and to serve pouch and spare service ammunition at the shortest possible notice. One thousand five hundred bearers were expected at Ferozepore daily. The 33d, an their arrival, were to be stationed at the ghaut, on the Sutlej, for protection, with a company of Sappers and Miners of the bridge of boats. We may here mention that there arc now nearly 52,000 troops (exclusive of the police battalion), besides ten Horse Artillery batteries, and nine light field batteries, on their way to the north-west frontier, a force fully adequate to any object which Sir Henry Hardinge may have in view. The Governor-General left Delhi on the 19th ult. The ' 1 camp, says the Delhi Gazette, will be at Kurnaul ;icereg,- _nd Umballah on the 2d December, and unless on the 26th, a.. be occasioned by the Governor-General any detention shoui,. the camp will be at Feroze and the Commander in e Commander-in-Chief ar pore on the 20th December. Ist, to see the troops rived at Umballah—was there on the - on brigade exercise, and resumed his march 4 swards Kurnanl on the 22d. The meeting of the Governor Getter...l and Com mander-in-Chief was to take place on the 26th. I,by Government is deemed invidious. The departure of the ' Bth from Kurrachee leaves the station with only two regi ments of the line, and these, it is supposed, will be heavily worked. The men of the " Belooch battalion," a Sindian levy, form a few of the petty guards. A wing of the 2d Bengal European Regiment were under orders to return to Sukkur on the 25th ult., marching to Kotree, whence they would be conveyed to their destination by the river steamers. The detacement of native infantry stationed at Jerruck has been withdrawn; the duties of the post are for the future to be performed by the Sinde baggage corps. Lieut. 0. Hamilton, commissioner with the Belooch tribes on the frontier, has obtained sick leave to Kurrachee, his duties in the meantime devolving on the officer commanding the outpost of Khangur. Lieut. Maclagan, of the Bengal Engi neers, has been ordered to take charge of the Executive Engineer's department at Kurrachee. Lieut. Stanley re sunlid his duties as treasurer on the 16th October. Lieut. Harding, of her Majesty's 22d Foot, has been appointed assistant judge advocate; Ist Lieutenant Campbell, of the Bengal Engineers, to be assistant superintendent of canals and forests; Mr. Williams, of the Indus flotilla, to be an assistant surveyor. Assistant-Surgeon Ward has been placed in permanent medical charge of the Sinde Belooch corps. Committees havelbeen assembled at Kurrachee and Hyderabad for the purpose of reporting on the number of tents in store at these stations. The medical superintendence of the Bengal troops serving in Upper Sinde, and the medical depot at Sukkur, have been transferred from the superintending surgeon of the Sirhind division of the Bengal army to the superintending surgeon of the Bombay establishment in Sinde. The. following very high compliment has been paid by Sir C. Napier to the gallant 86th Foot : "Head-quarters, Kurrachee, Nov. 4, 1845. " In consequence of the excellent behavior of the 86th Re giment, and at the request of Brigadier Douglas, Lieut. Colonel Derinzy, and the captain of the company to which private Arthur O'Neil belcngs, the Major-General command ing remits the remainder of that soldier's punishment, who is to return to his duty. This act of mercy the Major Gene ral considers to be a great compliment to the 86th Regiment, as he very much dislikes to pardon any man for a crime re sulting from intoxicatimi." The Delhi Gazette intimates that the Governor was to leave Kurrachee on a tour of .inspection the first week in December. We hear, by the way, that the proposition for an exchange of territory with our ally, Meer Ali Moored, is now before Government. The Ameer, it is said, is to get Meerrore and Oobaroh, which are on the east side of the Indus, and border on the Bhawulpore state, and the British are to have Kus more and the Boordee country on the west. We are told that the 111 - uzzarees have been driving away the people front the frontier, and if this be the case another :` little war " may perhaps be the consequence of the exchange. The subjoined extract from a letter in the Friend of India of the fith ultimo alThrds some useful information relative to the Shikargahs, or hunting-grounds, about which so much was said at the time of our negotiations! with the Ameers of Sinde, anterior to the deposal of those . unfortunate princes : " These Shikargahs are now under the control of the officer denominated superintendent of canals and forests, who has a separate establishment for their conservance under a ranger of forests. One of them, in the neighbourhood of Hyderabad, has been, in the first place, as an experiment, subjected to the treatment proposed to be adopted with re gard to all ; and this experiment has been eminently suc cessful, in so far as the return has more than covered the ex penditure. The sources of pecuniary return which these forests supply are the large timber available for building purposes; small and fallen wood, useful as firewood for the steamers as well as for the public; the gum afforded by the several species of acacia, and the bark of the acacia) and mimosas, used for tanning, besides the excellent pasture, ob tained within the limits of the Shikargahs. The measures pursued in their conservance consist chiefly in clearing away the great amount of underwood, and fallen and decayed timber, and removing trees from the more dense parts of the Shikargah, with the regulation of the rented pasture lands, and general superintendence of the forests, with a view to their preservation from accidental or malicious injury, or un authorised destruction of timber. It is p ro b a bl e 'that the benefits of the system, which has proved successful in the experimental forest, will be extended to such of the others as promise a similar measure of success, whilst the more worth less, which are scarcely deserving of a higher name than jungle, may be restored to cultivation. It is also proposed to attempt the cultivation of other useful forest trees not indi genous to Sinde or already existing in the Shikargaha." PE SHAW UR. Our latest news from Peshawur affords little more than confirmation and details of what we had previously heard rid Lahore. The date of Sirdar Tej Singh's final departure from his Government is stated to have been the 27th of September, Dlx*rileall(had accompanying him as previously noted, under iguard of 300 suwars. Sirdar Tej Singh met his successor, Shere Singh .Attareewallah, on the banks of the Indus, *here he introdueed - te the' latter the chief officers Whom he had employed during his rule, and recommended them to his con sideration. Shere Singh had not reached the capital on the 3d of October, and General Goordut Singh was officiating for him until his arrival. Shere Singh had, however, assumed the functions of governor, and sent orders to release all the pri soners in the gaols, which were complied with, except in the instance of 17 men of the Rain Gole battalion, implicated in the murder of the late Sirdar Maha Singh. Sirdar Peer Alahomed had been successfully engaged in operations against some refractory villages in the neighbourhood of Hustnuggur. The cholera has, to appearance, ceared its ravages in Pesha wur, the last victim of any note being the wife of Prince Mahomed Hasheem.—Delhi Gazette, Nov. 15. AFFGHANISTAN. We have intelligence from Caubul. Our last news was to the effect that the Peshawur invasion had, to all appearance, been abandoned, and a determination had been manifested by the Wuzeer to proceed towards Kandahar. This, how ever, did not last long, and there is reason to believe it was meant as a blind, for though there could be no chance of-pro thing by Peshora Singh's rebellion still the Caubul chiefs cannot abandon the idea of relinquishing Peshawur for good. On the 21st of September orders were issued by the Ameer for the payment of the artillery cf his army, with the view of their being sent down to Jellalabad, in anticipation of his own and the Wuzeer's almost yearly winter visit to that place, and the payment was effected not in coin, which would have been too direct a mode of dealing with the Affghan chiefs, but by orders on the keepers of the Government grain maga zines. The troops to take a certain quantity of grain at the Ameer's valur.tion, with permission to sell it for whatever it might fetch in the market. On the following day a similar arrangement was effected for the payment of the infantry. At the same time instructions were sent to Ahmed Khan Meer Akhor, Lieutenant-Governor of Jellalabad, to extri cate two large guns, which had been abandoned in Bala Bagh some time ago, from their present position, and have them prepared for service. The Mooltanee Affghans, who had abandoned their country and gone to Caubul in a large body, in the beginning of the year 1844, and of whom we have heard nothing since their discharge from the service of the Ameer on the breaking up of the Jellalabad force last year, having accommodated their disputes with the ruler of \looltan, are, it is stated, about to return to their homes. Great difficulty is said to have been experienced in realising the local revenue, in consequence of the confusion which had arisen dunng the prevalence of the cholera, and the customs' officer, or contractor of customs, the well-known Surwur Khan Lohanee, had created great dissatisfaction by raising the several duties to enable him to realise the required amount of revenue. GWALIOR. By letters from Gwalior we are put in possession of intel ligence to the sth instant. It appears from them that the confusion which existed when our correspondent last wrote had subsided, some' •f the conspiratorsi having been placed in durance vile. There are strange rumours afloat about the matter, and it is even surmised that Ram Rae Phalkea is at the bottom of the business, and that it was neither snore nor less than a plot to injure her Highness the Tara Lace and sonic of the sirdars. We understand courts of inquiry were immediately assembled to investigate the daring at tempt, and we hope soon to receive intelligence , of di3closuves made at them. NORTH WEST PROVINCES. We learned, soon afte r our paper was issued on Wednesday last, that the Governor-General had so far arranged his Flans , as to ensure his arrival at Delhi on the 15th (this day). and his departure hence on the 19th, in progress to Kurnaut, and also that the camp had on the 12th reached Balirrittee Kheree. We have further to record, regarding the move ments of his Excellency, that his camp reached Fureedabad on the 13th, was yesterday at Kishendas-ka-talao (Sir Henry himself going round to the Kootub), and reached Delhi this morning abont half-past seven o'clock. The Governor-Gene ral passed through the town in his carriage (accompanied by Mr. Metcalfe, agent to the Lieutenant-Governor) froir the ', end to the haslneer-gate. The police batt a li on we re e. drawl, up inside the Delhi gate to receive the cortege.

The Governor-General has been our lion during the Jest few days, and seems to have made the best use of his time. whilst here. On Saturday afternoon the young Newel) c)t .Tuijur (who had in the course of the morning been invested with his Khelut by the agent of the Lieutenant-Governer at his Kutcheree), the Rao of Bullumghur, and Malinra;a llinduo Rao, were received at a special durbar. On Sunday his Excellency attended divine service (the prayers being read by Mr. iNletealfe, in the absence of the chaplain). Oe Monday morning a levee was held in camp for the receytic n of the English gentlemen of Delhi, and of the native officers of the garrison, who seemed much pleased with the inquiries made of them regarding the deco• rations worn by them.

The camp moved this morning en route to Kur naul, Sir Henry Ilardinge being, till the evening, a gnat of Mr. Metcalfe's. The general impression in the camp is that " peace will be maintained," but we are greatly mistaatn from the tone that pervades the official gentlemen if thet c w • not more than meets the ear in the assumed indifference which is the order of the day. The Sikhs are not in a te“el L to be controlled.—Delhi Gazette, Nov. 19. SINDE. The intelligence from this province is comparatively scanty, and discloses few points of interest to the home reader. It would seem that Islam Khasi, a Boogtie chief, who escaped to the northward on the discomfiture of Bejar Khan and his associates, has at length consented to surren der himself to Captain Tabor at Shahpoor. The day ap pointed for this purpose was the 20th ult. ; but although he had sent his seal to this officer as a pledge of his sincerity, it was doubted by some whether he really intended to come in. Good accounts are given of the health of the troops at Sukkur and Shikarpore. A north-west Contemporary intimates that General Hunter was expected at the latter place on the 10th ultimo, and that it was supposed, from this movement, that the General would remain an additional year in Sinde. Kur rachee, by the last accounts, continued perfectly healthy, and the European denizens were looking forward with pleasure to the setting-in of the cold weather. The station is a good deal enlivened by amateur theatricals ; and the "Sinde Associa tion," the rules of which have just been published, bids fair to become an object of interest both to the casual visitor and the permanent resident at the seat of Government. This society, if actively supported, will doubtless furnish the means of elucidating much that remains obscure in the natural history and antiquities of Sinde and Beloochistan. The 2d Cavalry will return very shortly to the Presidency. The Meanee medals were distributed to the Bth N. I. at a general parade on the 20th, and the regiment left on the following day for Surat, en route for Ahmedabad, the subjoined complimentary order beingissued by Sir C. Napier, on the occasion of their departure : " Head-quarters, Kurrachee, Thursday, Nov. 20..

Through the kindness of a commercial friend we are enabled to give our Mofussil readers the following cheering report of the first day's work at the October Indigo sales ►-- " October 7.-971 chests passed the sale, all Bengal., of which 521 have been sold at an advance on July rates, at 2%1 per lb. on ordinary and mixed consuming sorts, 4d. gs middling to good shipping sorts, and 6d. for a few pßfe.•t lots.

BOMBAT, DEC. 1, 1845.—The business of the past fortnight has been limited, and there is little change to notice in the general aspect of the market for European goods. The ac counts from the agricultural districts to the northward con tinue very.gloomy, and should the present apprehension as to the deficiency of the crops be realised, there can be no doubt that the result will be highly unfavourable as regards the demand for British manufactures. Money is just now somewhat scarce at the presidency, and the Bank of Bombay, on the 28th ultimo, raised its rate of discount upon drafts from six to eight per cent. Metals—We have to report a decline of from 1 to 2 rs. per cwt. in the prices of raised bottoms, braziers, and sheath ing copper; tile, nails, and American remaining without change. In iron, prices have exhibited an upward tendency, both British and Swedish bar having been disposed of at 1 r. per candy above our last quotations, while the rate of square nail rod has also slightly advanced. There; have been some auction sales of damaged hoop and sheet iron, which have somewhat affected the market for these articles. Spelter has receded in value, the stock being abundant, and a further decline may, perhaps, be anticipated. Quicksilver has im proved slightly. Cotton Manufactures—The better qualities of grey and bleached longcloths and Madapollams have been in fair re quest, and the prices for them before current have been fully maintained ; the lower sorts, however, are difficult of sale at remunerating rates. Low grey domestics have been in good demand, and sold freely. The low and middling qualities of grey and bleached jacconnets are almost without inquiry, and for the finer sorts, prices though somewhat improved, are not yet favourable to the shipper. For dyed and fancy goods the market, with few exceptions, continues depressed, and prints are almost wholly neglected. Yarns—The business has been limited since our last. NO. 30 mule and water has declined 1/4 to 1 / 4 per lb.; and No. 40 water also exhibits a trifling diminution in value. No 80 mule is higher, and Nos. 90 and 100 lower than before. We have heard of no transactions in dyed yarns. Turkey re'l, we believe, is in but limited request, and orange is to tally without inquiry. Woollens—The market for these continues extremely dull, and we have been apprised of no sales. Marine Stores—We quote white and green paint a rupee per cwt. lower than before, and Swedish and coal tar lA, to 1 rupee per cwt. higher. Cordage has declined Ir. to 2rs. per cwt. Beer—The market for beer exhibits no alteration, and in the total absence of transactions we retain our previous quotations. Spirits—The same remark will apply to the articles under this head, which appear to be similarly neglected. Cochineal—There is no change in the value of cochineal, of which article 800 lbs. have, we hear, been disposed of at 3-6-0 rs. per lb., the price quoted in our last. Red and White Lead—The former of these remains with out change; but the latter has fallen in value about 1 r. parent. In other articles of imports we hear of no alteration, nor have any sales been communicated to us. EASTERN PRODUCE. Cotton—The principal varieties of this staple have receded slightly in value, and their respective rates may now be thus quoted : Broach and Surat ..... Rs. 88 per candy. Dollerah „ 86 to 87 Oomrawuttee „ 86 to 87 Parsee. „ 80 to 82 Comptah ,, 76 to 77 We have heard of purchases of 300 candies of Surate at rs. 87, and 500 candies of Comptah at rs. 77, per candy. The shipments to Great Britain since our last have been very limited. Coffee—Mocha is about a of a rupee cheaper, and Ma labar 1 / 2 a rupee dearer than on the departure of the last mail. Gums—We quote Arabic re. 2 per cwt.. higher, but in Anhui and Olibanum there is no change. Hemp—The Concan and Calicut varieties have declined, and the Ghattee risen in value since our last. Pepper—Butcholl is now quoted about Ir. per candy above the previous rate. Opium has declined 15 rs. per cheat, the present price being 1,400 rs. Wooi—Mekran is higher, and Marwar and Cutch some what lower than before, some inferior qualities being now at market. In Khorassan we perceive no alteration. FREIGHTS. The arrivals have continued limited, but shipments having been small, there has been no improvement in the rates of freight to Great Britain, which may now be quoted at V. to 3/. lOs. to London, and 3/. ss. to Liverpool. There has been no vessel loading for the Clyde. To China the rate has fallen to 15 ra. per candy. MONEY MARKET. Subjoined are the current rates of Government paper :- 5 per Cent.

PARIS, SATURDAY NIGHT.—At one o'clock this after noon the King left the Tuileries, and arrived at the Chamber of Deputies at about half-past one, being hailed on his way with the most loyal greetings. The King was attended by his sons. Having taken his seat on the throne, his Majesty delivered the following most gracious speech : " Messieurs les Pairs ct Messieurs les Deputes. " In assembling you about me, I am happy to think that we may congratulate ourselves on the general state of our country. lam confident that the accord between the powers of the state, and the maintenance of our policy of order and conservation, will more and more ensure the regular development of our institutions and the progress of the national prosperity. "My Government has applied itself to prosecuting the execution of the great works which you hare voted. The necessary measures for bringing thorn to a conclu sion will be submitted to you. Thus we shall, in a few years, have conferred on France both powerful guaran tees of security and the means of developing her fruitful activity, and of diffusing a state of welfare over all parts of our territory and through all classes of the popula tion. While these important results have been obtained the situation of our finances has daily become more and more satisfactory. " Laws relating to finance, with various other me* sures whose object is to introduce into the administra tion important improvements, will be shortly presented to you. " I continue to receive from all Foreign Powers pacific and amicable assurances. I hope that the policy which has maintained general peace amidst so many storms will one day cause the memory of my reign to be held in honour. " The friendship that unites me to the Queen of Great Britain, and of which she has again so recently afforded me an affectionate testimony, and the mutual confidence of our Governments, have happily secured between both states good and intimate relations. The convention concluded between us for putting down the odious slave-trade is at this moment in course of being carried into execution. Thus, by the cordial co-opera tion of the maritime forces of the two states, the slave trade will be efficaciously repressed, and at the same time our commerce be again placed under the exclusive surveillance of our flag. " I have reason to hope that the common action of France and England will lead, on the banks of the River Plate, to the restoration of regular and pacific commercial relations, which is the sole object of our efforts. " Events which I deplore, but which have again ex hibited the heroism of our soldiers, have disturbed our possessions in Africa. I have adopted prompt mea sures, in order that the domination of France may retain everywhere the force and ascendancy that become her. With the assistance of time our energetic perse verance will lay the foundation of the security and pros perity of Algeria. " Messieurs, you have afforded me your loyal co-ope ration in the great and arduous task which the national will has summoned me to fulfil. Providence has blessed our efforts, and has afforded me precious consolations in my own family. Wherever they have appeared, my sons have, I trust, worthily upheld the name of France My grandsons are increasing in number, and growing up under my own eyes. My dearest wish and sweetest hope is, that, by our devotedness to France and our zeal in serving her well, we may insure her affeetion,-**ite intimate union of my family and country be for ever t . established." --.- i The young wheat plants are looking very promis. ---.--" ing, and there' has seldom been a better proerect at vi l d Che4tulas for the ensuing harvebt tbau this year, .
