There are arrivals to-day both from the East and West, and on all hands we hear of the athices being considered satis factory.

The East Indian markets also give evidences of continued improvement after their lengthened heaviness. The Money business in the Stock Exchange has been rather diminished by the closing of the transfer books. Con sols for the Opening have receded a shade, namely from 994 to 99 ex. dividend. The premium on Exchequer-bills has advanced to 635. Bank Stock is at 211%. A very limited amount of business has been transacted in the Foreign Bonds to-day. The Four per Cent. Dutch Certi ficates are at 98% %; Colombian at 15 1 ,% 3y ; Mexican at 38 ; and Spanish Consols at 29 3 4. The Share market continues to be buoyant, and prices are extremely firm. I have directed legal proceedings to be commenced against Mr. William Bland, who has affixed his name to advertisements, which are unfounded, as regards the Gentlemen with whom I have the ho nour of acting, and libellous as regards myself. I am, Gentlemen, Yours, faithfully, WILLIAM RICKFORD COLLETT.

RESOLUTIONS, founded on the REPORT and BALANCE SHEET read at the General Meeting of the Members of the BRITISH and FOREIGN INSTITUTE, on Saturday, the 31st of May, and carried unanimously. . Right Hon. tile EARL of DEVON, in the Chair. Proposed by JAMES SIMPSON, Esq. ; Seconded by Captain MAcoNocRIE, R.N. " 1. That the Report and Balance-sheet now read be adopted, and printed for general circulat on among the Members ; and that the suggestions and recommendations of the Committee, contained in the Report, be approved and carried into execution." Proposed by Lord JAMES STUART, M.P. ; seconded by Z. A. JESSELL, ESQ. " 2. That the position attained by the Institute, at the close of this, the second year of its existence only, is highly satisfactory, as show ing, that notwithstanding all the difficulties, opposition, and pre judices with which it has had to contend, its present income has been made to cover its actual expenditure : and that the value of its as sets greatly exceeds its liabilities." Proposed by E. W. PENDARVES, Esq., ALP.; seconded by the Rev. JAMES ST. AUBYN. " 3. That though the Annual Subscriptions to the Institute were originally fixed at too low a scale for the varied advantages and plea sures which it offers to the Members, it is thought best to continue them for the present, without any change, the Council relying on the efforts of the Members generally (now that all doubt of success and stability is removed) to exert themselves in their respective circles, by correcting misapprehensions, and making the real merits and attractions of the Establishment more generally and more accu rately known, so that by constantly increasing numbers, the income may be proportionately improved, without any addition to the exist ing rates, and the funds be thus made adequate to accomplish all the improvements contemplated and desired." . . . rmposed by Sir GEORGE STAUNTON, Bart.; seconded by GEORGE WILBRAHAM, EMI. " 4. That one of the most effective modes of making extensively known the nature and character of the Literary Proceedings of the Institute, will be to give the widest possible circulation to the First Volume of its transactions, in which these proceedings will be fully and faithfully recorded :—and that as this will be well calculated to convey accurate information into circles where much misapprehension may prevail, it is strongly recommended to the Members generally to promote its circulation accordingly." Proposed by WYNN ELLIS, Esq., M.P. ; seconded by Brig.-Gen. Sir HENRY PYNN. " 5. That the four classes of members, as at present arrra - ged, be in all future entries limited to two only ; namely, town members and country members ; the former to include all who reside or who have estabil , hments in London, or within seven miles of the General Post office, or who remain in town for more than two months at any one time, and make use of the Institute during any part of that perfod ; and the latter, to embrace all who live beyond that distance, who have no establishments in the metropolis, and who do not remain in town beyond the specified period." Proposed by CHARLES COCHRANE, ESQ. ; seconded by HENRY TUDOR, ESQ. " 6. That the annual subscription for ladies, when elected members of the Institute, and entitled to all its privileges, shall be only the half of that paid by gentlemen of each class: and that families of four individuals shall be admitted to all the advantages of member ship at the rate of two single members only." Proposed by ALEXANDER PRINCE, ESQ. ; seconded by JOHN ANDER soN, Esq. _ _ " 7. That, in accordance with the recommendation of the annual report, single and season tickets for visitors to the Soirees and Lec tures be made available to members for the accommodation of their families and friends ; such tickets to be had through members only, and the names of those for whom they are required, to be furnished to the Secretary, previous to their being issued ; the scale of terms to be regulated by the Committee, and the arrangement to commence with the next session." Proposed by Sir JOHN YARDE BULLER, Bart., M.P. ; seconded by ED- WARD BAYLIS , Esq " 8. That the cordial thanks of the meeting be presented to the Right Ron. the Earl of Devon, the President of the Institute, for his continued and zealous interest in its welfare : and to the trustees, Vice-Presidents, and Committee, forming the Council of the Institute, for their valuable co operation in the promotion of its success." Proposed by the Rev. SEPTISILTS RAMSAY, M.A. ; seconded by DR. CAMPS. "9. That the thanks of this meeting are also especially due to Mr. Buckingham, for the zeal, perseverance, and courtesy, with which he has devoted himself, during the past year, to the superintendence and direction of the affair; of the Institute, and to the efficiency and economy with which its funds have been administered, as well as for the liberality with which he has expended his own private means to increase its attractions. And they entertain a firm hope that the present absence of all remuneration to him for these services of the past year, will be amply compensated in future ones, by the in creased number of Friends which each Member will feel it his duty as far as praalcable, to add to the Institute ; so as by this, the best and most unexceptionable of all means, to increase the stability and p o pularity of the Establishmen t, and thus promote and consolidate the interests of all who are concerned in its permanent welfare." Proposed by Lord BROUGHAM seconded by Sir JOHN YABDE BuLLEB, Bart., M.P. " 10. That it would be unjust, unreasonable, and injurious to the best interests of the Institute, to permit the Resident Director's ser vices for the past year to go wholly unrequited ; and as no surplus exists out of the Annual Subscription Fund, to stand in lieu of salary, it is resolved that the Members be invited to contribute a Guinea each for the purpose of providing such compensation, as a just testi monial of their satisfaction with his management, and that the fol lowing gentlemen do form a Committee, with power to add to their numbers, for the purpose of carrying this resolution into effect; and that the Committee be at the same time instructed to inquire whe ther any reductions can be made in the expenditure, wi.hout impair ing the efficiency of the Establishment." Lord Brougham Wynn Ellis, Esq., M.P. Sir John Yarde Buller, Bart., M.P. Rev. Septimus Ramsay Charles Cochrane, Esq. Charles Salaman, Esq. E. W. Pendarves, Esq , M.P. Lord James Stuart, M.P. John Minter Morgan, Esq. George Jones, Esq. Charles Stuart, Esq. James Simpson, Esq. Sir George Staunton, Bart., M.P. Alexander Prince, Esq. William Camps, Esq., 31.1). Z. A. Jessell, Esq. Proposed by JOSEPH SEBAG, Esq. ; seconded by GEO. JoNr.s, EM. " 11. That the cordial thanks of this meeting be given to Mr. Leicester Stanhope Buckingham, for the urbane and courteous manner in which he has discharged his duties as Secretary of the Institute." (Signed) DEVON, Chairman. WS. HALE'S COMPOSITE CANDLES, • 9% per lb. ; also his Metallic Wick for Candle Lamps 73%d. per lb.

In consequence of the great variety of counterfeit Envelopes of ROWLAND'S RALYDOR, and other disreputable means resorted to by unprincipled individuals for imposing on the public their highly pernicious compounds under the title of KALYDOB," the Pro prietors and sole Preparers of the Original and Genuine Preparation, acting uncle' a sense of duty, and regardless of expense in the attain ment of their object—the protection of the public from fraud and imposition, have employed those celebrated artists, Messrs. Perkins, Bacon, and Co., who have succeeded, at great cost, in producing from a steel plate a NEW ENVELOPE of exquisite beauty. It comprises a highly-finished Engraving of the Grecian Graces standing on a classic pedestal, on each side of which is a rich pro fusion of flowers springing from an elegant cornucopia ; these taste fully blending with Arabesque-scrolls and wreaths, encircle the Royal Arms of Great Britain, surmounting the words " ROWLAND'S KALYDOR," &c., &c., &c., whilst a plinth at the foot displays the Signature of the Proprietors, in red, thus— Family Tickets for Four persons, 165., may be had at the North Lodge, from Ten till Six.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENTS. Sir James Graham has directed that a copy of the following letter and important rule relative to the treatment of prisoners sentenced to death should be issued to the Chairman of the Quarter Sessions for every county in England and Wales " Whitehall, June 2, 1845. " Sir,—l am directed by Secretary Sir James Graham to trans.. mit to you the inclosed rule relative to the treatment of prisoners condemned to death, and to the proceedings to be observed on the day of an execution, on the occasion of a con demned sermon, or of the performance of Divine ser vice after sentence of death has been pronounced. This rule has been drawn up after the careful consideration of the subject; and Sir James Graham requests that you will lay it before the magistrates assembled at the next general ses sions for the county of , with his recommendation _ . ........._ , that they should add it to the rules in force for the government of the county prisons, and submit it to him for his certificate of approval in accordance with the provisions of the sth and 6th Will. IV., cap. 38, sec. 2. " Sir James Graham is desirous that the attention of visiting magistrates should be directed to that part of the rule, which pro vides that no persons, except the authorities and officers of the prison, shall have access to such prisoners. " I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, " S. M. PHILLIPPS. " The Chairman of the Quarter Sessions for the county of -." PRISONERS CONDEMNED TO DEATH. " Every prisoner condemned to death shall be confined in some safe place within the prison, apart from all other prisoners, and shall be allowed such a die tar y as the visiting justices may direct, and exercise in the open air for a reasonable time every day. He may be visited by his relations, friends, and legal advisers, at his own request, by an order In writing from any visiting justice. No other person shall have access to such pri soner, except the governor or other officer of the prison, the chaplain, and surgeon ; or if such convict shall be of a religious persuasion differing from that of the Established Church, a minister of that persuasion, attending at his request. If any person, how. ever, shall make it appear to a visiting justice that he has impor. tant business to transact with the convict, such visiting justice may grant permission in writing to such person to have a conference with the convict in the presence of the governor. " No person, except the proper authorities, the prison officers, and the police on duty, shall be admitted into the interior of the prison on the day of an execution, nor on the occasion of a con. demned sermon, nor during the performance of Divine service after sentence of death has been pronounced. Provided that this rule shall not be interpreted to exclude a minister of a religious per suasion differing from that of the Established Church from attend ing, at his own request, a convict of such persuasion." ®The Queen Dowager has, during the last week, been prevented from taking her customary carriage airings from slight indisposition, arising from a cold. _ . A male child v•as fouud fitting on a black silk shawl on the step of the door, 74, Lower Grosvenor-street, on Monday morning, about eleven o'clock, with a letter in its hand. directed to Mr. Rous. After it had been there about half an hour, the footman, who had been watching it, took it in, and the crowd which bad assembled round the door dispersed Intelligence has been received by the Over ar' ---.— TlT3MTri r ota Bombay to the Ist of May; Calcutta, the 22d April; Delhi. the 21st, and China to the Bth of March ; but we find scarcely one new fact of the slightest importance. British India was perfectly tranquil ; Sir Charles Napier had re turned to Kurrachee, the troops in Sinde were healthy, the disturbances in South Mahratta had ceased, and the chiefs of Sawunt Warree had all been captured by the British, or surrendered to the Portuguese authorities at Goa, who had guaranteed their safe custody till their final surrender should be arranged between the Governments of the two countries. The news from the Punjaub is more satisfactary, No new outbreak or murders had taken place, and the leading chiefs seemed inclined to submit to the authority of the Ranee Raja. Goolab Singh had proceeded to Lahore,and a durbar was held in the Huzooreebaugh, at which he swore fealty to the Ranee and afterwards to the young Raja, at the same time presenting rich presents as a token of recon ciliation. It was understood that Goolab Singh would be appointed Wuzeer. The British troops Niere collecting in considerable numbers at the Sutlej, but no immediate hostile movements against Lahore were anticipated. According to the correspondent of the Herald, who writes from Bombay, " numerous boats constructed for bridging or navigating the Indus, as occasion may require, continue to be dispatched twice or thrice a week from Bombay to Kurrachee; and every effort is making to complete the large flotilla of steamers and accommodation boats demanded by the Government of Shide. These preparations, rumour has it, have a refer ence to an approaching conflict with the Seikhs." We rather think they have reference to Akbar Khan The troops engaged in the expedition under Sir Charles Napier in Upper Sinde had all returned to their cantonments, with the exception of a force of 3,000 men, consisting, of the 7th Irregular Cavalry, the Bundelkund Le&n, and Fitzgerald's Camel corps, who form a cordon extending from Larkhana to Shahpoore, and from the former place to Lchwan, under the command of Captain Beatson. This force is directed to patrol from post to post, preventing the passage of the robbers, attacking them when they show themselves, but prohibited from following them into their fastnesses without the special permission of the Governor. Intelligence had reached Bombay of the death, from apo plexy, of Meer Nusseer Khan, one of the deposed Princes of Sinde. This event occurred at Dum-Dum, near Calcutta. The 78th Highlander arrived at Voonah on the 18th of April, and their health continued steadily to improve. Upwards of 100 of the invalids of the corps were to leave for England on the 11th of May. The Affghans were making prepare. tions to attack Peshawur. Mahomed Akbar Kahn quitted Caubul for Jellalabad on the 15th of February, after a stay there of only eleven days, and is again in the valley of Nun. gunhur prosecuting his arrangements fur offensive operations. The following commercial intelligence appears in the Times : "In Bengal the commercial news from England induced some speculation in sugar, and parties are known to have received private information as to the alteration in the sugar duties, which enabled them to get the start of their neigh bours. Government secrets are generally well kept in Eng land, but this time the subordinate officials in London seem to have been as communicative as their Calcutta brethren. " Our reports from the indigo districts are more favourable, heavy rains having been very general. A letter from Jessore says, they fully make up for the previous drought. In Tirhoot there are complaints of hail-storms, and the eastern districts have suffered considerably, but, on the whole, the prospect of a full average crop is maintained. "The shippers of opium at the first sale of the season hav ing received favourable accounts, a spirit of spe cu l at i on i n the drug has recommenced, and it being now known that the Malwa crop of the past season will not turn out within some thousand chests cf the estimates made at the beginning of the year, prices are expected to go up, and may pro bably reach 1,600 Company's rupees in the coming sales. The Company will consequently receive a most splen did revenue from this article, perhaps half a mil lion sterling more than was calculated upon. Ex changes and public securities continue very steady, and money, though not abundant in the bazaar, is not becoming so scarce as was anticipated from appearances amongst the great native shroffs some weeks ago._ • " The news from China is to the Sth of March, but is of little interest. Governor Davis, while on a visit at Macao, had been attacked by some Chinese footpads, who got him down, and were proceeding to strip him, when they were scared sw.y by the appearance of some Portuguese genti , -men of the place."

A Special General Meeting of the Proprietors of the Great Western Railway Company was held at the office of the Company, at Paddington, yesterday, at one o'clock, for the purpose of consi. define the Bill now before Parliament, under which powers were proposed to be conferred on the Company for . purchasing, leasing, and contributing towards the formation of a railway from Cheltenham and the Great Western Union Railway to Fish guard and Pembroke Dock, with branches therefrom, to be called the South Wales Railway ; the Chelten ham and Great Western Union Railway, to Monmouth and Hereford, with branches to join the Forest of Dean Railway; the Newbury and Hungerford Railway; the Oxford and Rugby Railway ; the Oxford to Worcester and Wolverhampton ; the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Railway, the Cornwall Railway ; and also the draft of a copy of a Bill, entitled " a Bill for enabling the London and Birmingham Railway to take a Lease of the West London Railway, and te extend it to the River Thames." The chair was taken at one o'clock, by Charles Russell, Esq , M.P. The advertisement calling the meeting having been read by Mr. Sanders, the Secretary, The CHAIRMAN said, that after the several resolutions that had been passed at previous meetings, sanction ing the several schemes that had been read from the advertisement, the meeting of that day was matter of mere form ; but that matter of form was necessary in order to comply with the standing order of the House of Lords. That order was—" That in the case 01 Bills to empower any Company already constituted by Act of Parliament to execute any work other than that for which it was originally established, a draft of the proposed Bill must be submitted to a meeting of the proprietors of such cempany, called by advertise ment, inserted for four consecutive weeks in the news papers of each county, wherein such new works were proposed to be executed, and which meeting must be held not earlier than seven days after the last insertion of such advertisement ; and at such meeting the draft of the proposed Bill must be approved of by at least three-fifths of the proprietors pre sent." Now, it was to comply with that standing order that they had met, and the advertisement had stated the names of the Bills and the purport of them, which the proprietors were then called upon to sanction. There were two railways to which the Company had given guarantees, namely, the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Railway ; to the South Wales Railway they had advanced half a million, and to the Cornwall 50,0001. He had no doubt but that they had observed the progress which their Bills had made in the House of Commons. Every one of their Bills had passed the Standing Orders Committee—a fact which was exceedingly creditable to those to whose care the management of those Bills had been confided. All their Bills had also passed the second reading ; thus the principle of each of their Bills had been recognised. Two of their Bills—the Berks and Hants, and the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth—had passed the House of Com mons, and were now in the House of Lords, awaiting the approval of the proprietors, in order that they might be proceeded with forth with. The South Wales and Hereford Rill would go into Committee that day—at least the Committee to which the Bill was referred met that morning. The Oxford and Rugby lines were at present the subject of investiga tion before a Committee of the House of Commons, and they were every moment in expectation of hearing the result. A Committee had been appointed te consider the West London Railway Bill. The Bil!s were' on the table, and would be read by the Secretary if it should be thought desirable. The SECRETARY then read the titles of the several Bills, and the marginal notes of the sections. The South Wales, the Monmouth and Hereford, and the Bucks and Hants Bills, were agreed to without discussion. On the question being put on the Oxford and Rugby Bill, Mr. Dosaig inquired whether this was a line in which the Great Western Company alone was interested The CHAIRMAN stated that it was. Mr. DOANE—We have nothing to do with the London and Bir mingham in it. The CHAIRMAN—Nothing whatever. Mr. DOANE—Then, of course, the broad gauge will be adopted. The CHAIRMAN-1f we obt,in the Bill the gauge will be our own. Mr. DOANE—There has been, then, no conipromiseon the subject. The CHainsteN—None whatever. It is our determination to make it a broa,l gauge line. The Bill was then unanimously agreed to. On the question being put on the subject of the Oxford, Wor.. cater, and Wolverhampton Bill, Mr. DOANE asked if there was any clause in the Bill regulating the construction of the line, and what the gauge would be ? The CHAIRMAN—From Oxford to Worcester the broad gauge; from Worcester to Wulverharnpton both gauges. The SECRETARY stated that there was no clause regulating the construction in the Bill, but that such a clause would be intro duced In Committee. A PROPRIETOR asked the Chairman if he could form any idea as to what the decision of the Committee would be? The CHAIRMAN said that the members of the Committee very pro perly kept their views so secret that there was not the slightest ground on which to form a conjecture on the subject. All he could say was, that the line ought to be theirs. The Bill was then agreed to unanimously, as was the Wilts, So. merset, and Weymouth Bill. On the question being put as regards the Cornwall Railway, A PROPRIETOR admitted that the Company were bound to sup. port the Bill, but in case of any accident happening to it, he hoped the Company would not enter into any further arrangements which would prevent them from carrying a railway through the centre of Devon and Cornwall with abroad gauge. The CHAIRMAN said that the question whether the railway should pass through the centre of Devon and Cornwall had been maturely considered by the Directors; and he could not hold out any expecta tion that such a line would be carried out. The PROPRIETOR said he had merely suggested the subject for consideration. The CHAIRMAN clearly understood the object of the question, and wished to prevent the circulation of any rumour that the Company had hesitated at all as to the course which the railway ought to take. The Bill was then agreed to unanimously. The West London Bill was agreed to unanimously. A PROPRIETOR asked how it was proposed to raise the required capital ? The CHAIRMAN replied th a t th at ques tion had not yet been taken into consideration by the Di rectors, f o r several reasons. First, it was necessary to know wh a t wou ld be of capital required the actual amount of the money market se ; c ve the subject their secondly, they the e us m t a co tte n r sid w er as th o e ne star f extreme dslicacy, and they must take care so to manage it as to prevent jobbing. They were not determined as to the course which they should pursue, but he could assure the Hon. Proprietor that the Directors would most serious consideration, and that at the earliest time they would give the Shareholders specific information on the subject. A PROPRIETOR—What is the use to us of the West London Railway 9 The CHAIRMAN—We get further into London ; it brings us nearer the Thames ; and it is necessary we should have it, to pre vent It from falling into other hands. A PROPRIETOR—We have it with the London and Birmingham Company. The CHAIRMAN—A joint possession with the London and Bir. mingham Company. The thanip cf the Proprietors were then voted to the Chair man, who briefly acknowledged the compliment, and the meeting separated.

(From the Chamber of Commerce Overland Price Current.) Bomaxv, MAY I.—The business done in imports since the de parture of the last steamer has been, on the whole, limited in ex tent. Prior to the arrival of the overland mail on the 9th instant the market was generally in a very inactive state; but subsequently some degree of animation has been manifested, attended, in a few instances, with an improvement in prices. The selling season will now shortly terminate with the setting in of the S.W. monsoon, which puts an end to exportation to the coast. Metals—There has been a moderate demand for most •arieties. and the mat ket has been, and still continues, very steady. British bar iron was sold largely at 25 rupees per candy in the early part of the month; but since the arrival of the mail prices have consider ably improved, and 27 rupees have been offered and refused. The purchases have been chiefly speculative ones, made bz 'European houses. We have heard of no transactions in Swedish bar, bat 49 rupees would be readily paid for it, were holders disposed to sell at that rate. Hoop of small size has been sold at 7 rupees per cwt., but the price now current for average descriptions is 5i rupees. In other sorts of iron—save nail, of which there have been a few small sales—little or no business appears to have.been done. Copper has generally improved in price, an advance of 1 to 3 rup ee . per cwt. having taken place on all kinds except South Arrtrican, which has declined a little owing to an importation from Z-hina. Sheathing i and brasiers' bare been sold respectively 54 to 55 rupee, per ,wt. Neither in raised bottoms nor ',lles have we heard of any transactions, but 57 to 5S ruPees could be obtained for the former, and for the latter 5l rtilw:es has been actually refused. Steel re mains without alteratied We quote lead a little higher, but we hear of no sales except in sheet, of which 350 cwt. has changed hands at 91 rireees per cwt. Spelter has been sold at 144 rupees per cwt. for large.sized plates. Tin plates exhibit a slight advance upon last month's prices. Cotton Manufactures—The goods chiefly in demand by dealers during the month have been the better sorts of gray shirting. and Madapollams, and medium to good qualities of bleached shirtings. The former have advanced in value 2 to 3, the latter 4 to 6 annaa per piece. For the inferior descriptions of these fabrics there has been little demand on the part of the native buyers ; but low Ma.. dapellams and jaconots, both gray and bleached, have been put, chased on speculation by some European firms, and this has caused a slight improvement in the prices previously current for them. In gray domestics we note a few sales, but no advance on last month's depressed rates is perceptible ; bleached are quite neglected. Fancy cambrics and muslins are only saleable in small quantities, and at reduced prices. Turkey red cloths, plain and twilled, have been disposed of to a small extent, but at much lower prices than last month, these fabrics being at present dull of sale, owing to the regular buyers of such goods having terminated their operations for the season. Prints, ztbra dresses, and almost all varieties of fancy goods, continue in a very depressed state. Yarns—The market for cotton tssist has since our last exhibited considerable animation, and in Nos. 30 and 40 mule, and 20 and 30 water, a rise in price has taken place. The European houses, whose speculative transactions in piece goods we have above no. ticed, have also taken some 300 bales of yarn in the same manner. chiefly consisting, we believe, of No. 20 mule, the stock of which has been for some time ♦ery large. The principal advance has been in No 40 mule, which has Improved to the extent of 1 anna per lb.—a circumstance mainly owing to the extreme scarcity of this particular number. There is a slight improvement in the price of Turkey red twist, but orange is dull, and without change. Woollens- -The market for these goods is exceedingly dull, and we hear of very few transactions ; purchases for exportation, in. deed, have entirely ceased, and dealers now only buy in small quantities for local consumption. There have been a few auction sales of sea-water damaged cloths, and we have been apprised, be. sides,of a transaction in serges, 160 pieces of which (sound) have been disposed of at 14 rupees 8 anoas per piece of 24 yards by 31 inches. Marine Stores—We have few alterations to notice in the prices of the articles under this head. White and green paint, pitch, linseed oil, and spirits of turpentine, are slightly lower than before. Swedish tar has advanced Ir. per barrel, and the remainder are without change. The following sales have taken place :-120 bolts of unbleached canvass, at 16rs. per bolt; 175 cwt. of cordage, assorted, at 2Ors. Ba. per cwt. ; 70 cwt. of rose nails, 1 to 3in., at 13rs. 14a. per cwt. Beer—About 500 hhds. of Allsopp's, of the new brew, have come to hand, and are in the course of delivery in fulfilment of contracts made to arrive. There is none yet for sale; but we quote both this and Bass's lOrs. per hogshead higher than last month. 10 hogsheads of Tennent's have been sold at 40 rupees per hogshead. van S cpeirultps.anrel.wtitinhoountthmsugcuboctahtaionng.e; brandy maintains a alight sa. Red Lead Is in fair demand, and our last quoted price for it fully maintained. Cochineal exhibits a decline of about two annas per pound since our last. A supply has arrived, but no sales have as yet taken place. Seaton—Prices are without change. The only sale of which we heard is one of 601 b., at 21rs. per lb. EASTRRN PRODUCE. Cotton—This staple has been steady in price throughout the month, and the only material change is in Comptali (of the old crop), which is from 2 to 4 rupees cheaper than at the date of our last issue. The transactions have been to a considerable extent, but principally for the China market. Until within the last week the receipts from the cotton countries have been ♦ery light. Coffee—We quote Mocha a trifle lower than last month, but there is scarcely any at present at market. Ivory—The market is quite bare of this article, and prices are consequently nominal Gums—There is little or no Arabic or Olibanum to be had. Animi exhibits no change in value. Hemp—All three varieties have risen in price to the extent of $ to 5 rupees per candy. Opium has a strong upward tendency, owing to the smallness of the anticipated supply, and may now be quoted at 1 ,275r5. per chest. Pepper—Both Bhutcoll and Malabar have declined, the former to 64r5., and the latter to 51 rs. per candy. Wool—Our quotations must be regarded as merely nominal only, there being scarcely any Wool at present at market. IREIGHTR. Up to the middle of the month freight to England was very scarce, and large engagements were then made at 31. 10s per ton. As the ships were being filled up, engagements were made at 3/. 15s. to 31. I7s. 6d., and 41. per ton is now asked Loth to London and Liverpool. In freight to China there is little change ; 16irs, per candy is the present rate. MONEY MARKET. The scarcity of money still continues, and has affected the value of Government paper. Subjoined are our quotations, which are in some Instances lower than before :- 5 per cent.

The subject of the ensuing anniversary dinner having been introduced, although there were not more than twenty members present, yet, su!,senptions amounting to les guineas, principally from the ladies of the members of the Board. were im mediately announced, thus evincing the warm interest taken by those most acquainted with the management of the institution in its welfare, and their appreciation of the great benefits it confers upon the children of their leas fortunate brethren.
