'ill< DONT FRIn MORNING SUN, JANUARY 3, 1845. . _ Since the - date of our last issue business has been veryr considerably impeded by the intervention of numerous native holidays, the Government Treasury and other public offices having only been open for the transaction of business 14 days out of the 31 ; but taking this into consideration, our market for the principal staples of country produce has manifested a fair amount of acti v4y, and, with the exception of one or two articles of minor importance, prices generally exhibit a decided improvement, caused, in a great measure, by the favour able accounts we continue to receive from England. the great abundance of money both at home and here, and the consequent low ruling of exchange, inducing parties in the habit of remitting in bills to prefer the risk of doing so in produce. The first portion of the overland mail, with London dates to the 7th September, reached this on the morning of the 21st ultimo, and the bulk of the letters came to hand in the course of the two suc ceeding days. The Government express last year did not arrive till the 24th of this month ; but we hope to receive our letters either by that conveyance or by the Hindostaa steamer (now daily expected) in time to en able us to reply to them by the latest dispatch from this, which is advertised for the 23d instant, as the letters loeked for will most probably bring out extensive orders for our leading staple of this season, viz., indigo. Istnioo.—At the date of our last issue we considered 1,45,000 maunds, to be the utmost extent of this season's outturn, according to the information we had received of what had been made, and the expectations of the plan ters in the north-western provinces. It may be remarked that for the last ten years the estimates sent home in October have generally been at least 10 per cent. under what the actual figure of the crop has afterwards been ascertained to be, but we have not the slightest hesitant tion in saying that such will not prove the case this year, as from letters received a few days after the departure of the last mail we find that in the districts of Ghazee pore, Benares, Juanpore, and Goruckpore, their prospects were very considerably reduced by a continuation of rain for 35 days, and some factories will not turn out more than two-thirds or three-fourths of the quantity calcu lated on ; the exact amount of the crop will, however, soon baknowniidien all the invoices hive been - received. The few parcels we have been enabled to 'examine confirm the opinion we expressed in our last respecting the superiority of this season's indigo, especially in some of the fine marks, We have had an opportunity of sees ing the only parcel of Tirhoot indigo which has as yet arrived in Calcutta, and we consider that also to be 'bet ter than last year. The indigo will now be coming in fast, and after the holydays we think the marts will have a sufficient supply to hold a weekly sale until the receipt of accounts of the result of the October sale, when the market will be re gularly open, and prices regulated by the orders and limits received by that oppmunity. The present rate of exchange being about 6 per cent. lower than in December last, will necessarily influence the ruling of prices, but we are of opinion that they will open about the same as last year. The next mail will doubtless bring out extensive orders from Europe and America, but it is said that the Moguls will act with great caution, as the greater part of their last year's shipments are still unsold, A public sale of about 500 chests is advertised to take place on the 25th instant, when the fine mark, H. and Co., Jessore, will bo put up. Not more than 4,500 maunds of last year's crop remain in the market, and the only larg e parcel of this season's which ha s as y e t b een s hipp e d is 380 chests of the J. and B. W., to Great Britain. The total exports from the Ist to the 15th of November are only 427 chests, or 1,455 factory maunds, to that part. A parcel of about 1,200 maunds has been sold by private contract to arrive, at about last year's pricei, at the open ing of the market. SUGAR.—Owing to the scarcity of supply . of suitable descriptions for the home market, transactions in this staple have not been on so extensive a scale as might have been expected ; however, any first, or even good second quality, Benares, which has offered, has readily been taken at an advance, for really fine qualities, of nearly eight annas a maund, whilst second sorts only evinced an improvement of four annas, in consequence of the late accounts from England being particularly favourable for the former description. Exports from the Ist to the 15th inst. inclusive, amount to 38,120 maunds. SALTPETRE.—We last month noticed an improvement in the demand for this article for both Great Britain and North America, although without enhancing the price ; since th - eiroUr market has been in a most active state, and exhibits an advance on all descriptions of about four annas a maund. Shipments to Great Britain go forward on about the usual scale, but to America they continue to increase. PROVISIONALLY REGISTERED. GRESHAM. AVENUE ASSOCIATION.

The alterations effected of late years, with no unsparing hand, have added greatly to the splendour and attraction of the Metrope. and essentially contributed to the health and comfort of the Inhabitants. Many of these improvements have been effected by the intervention of her Majesty's Commissioners of Woods and Forests, the Corporation of the City of London, and different local authorities, whilst some are the result of individual enterprise and • Public spirit ' • • The expediency of carrying out further improvements in addi . !lon to those now in progress cannot be doubted, and more especially If at the same time that object can be effected by a safe and wok.- , able investment for the capital required. • The gradual substitution of improved thoroughfares for thi nar rsw, unhealthy, and inconvenient courts and alleys which still abound in the heart of the City, and nowhere more than In this Immediate neighbourhood, has been checked or suspended tram an exaggerated notion of the value of the property it would be neces. eery to re-model. A careful inquiry, founded upon the experience of the great un dertakings already so ably carried out, has convinced the Commit.. tee that the value of all descriptions of property in the districts ' threugh which it is intended the Gresham Avenue shall be formed, Will be considerably improved. It has been determined, therefore, to form an Avenue or Arcade, to be called "The Gresham Avenue," affording a light, well-ven tilated, commodious, and handsome covered approach from Lon. don -well to the Bank of England, Royal Exchange, Lloyd's, the Stock Exchange, and generally to the central parts of the City. The surveys and estimates made at different periods by eminent surveyors have been recently revised and carefidly re-considered, Heaving no doubt that the whole can be completed fur a sum not exceeding 300,0001., and that this outlay will yield a gross rental of 17 ,6001., or about 9 per cent. ; so that, atter deducting 20 per Pm. for repairs, non.occupancy, and contingencies, there will re 'amain a nett income of 22,0801. per annum. The reasonable ex. Pectation of this result has been fully attested by gentlemen well , 'Versed in all that relates to property of this description. • An Act will be applied for in the ensuing session of Parliament, for which the necessary notices have been given ; and from the Thendly disposition evinced by the members of the Corporation, anscall parties whom it has hitherto been possible to consult, the • /fill may be expected to pus without material opposition. For the purpose of raising the capital of 300,0001. it is proposed - to issue 3,000 shares of 1001. each, upon which a deposit of 10s. per share is to be immediately paid, being the extent of the sum al ' lolled to be received, under the Joint-Stock Companies' Act, pee. lions to complete registration. The remainder to be paid at such tides as the Board et Management may appoint, one month's no. t ictilDeing previously given. On the Act of Parliament being ob. talied, each subscriber will be required to nominate a good and .•111eurable life, not exceeding 20, nor less than 5 years of age. A subscriber will not be limited to one nomination, provided not more than Ave shares are dependent upon any one life; the shares to be at all times transferable. Upon the death of the nominee, double the sum, or 1100/ for every 1001. will be paid to the subscriber, or hie r epresentatives, to be secured by life assurance. • The Committee is in a position to effect arrangements with cer. Lein life Assurance Offices, and it has been ascertained that the Whole amount necessary to be assured, being 500,0001., can be se cured at an aggregate premium not exceeding 255. per cent., or SAW, which w ill leave a nett annual income of upwards if 111,0001. fordivision amongst the existing proprietors. .Tbis division will be made by way of bonus, the first at the ex- Plration of seven years from the passing of the Act of Parliament, and subsequently every five years.

Captain Salter, of the 4th Bengal Infantry, had been appointed to command all the troops en the frontier, an arrangement which is considered judicious, and he was to assume immediate charge. Captain L. Smith's battery was to return to Sh ikarpoor, to be replaced at Khangur by two of the old mountain train-guns, drawn by mules, under the command of Lieutenant Pulma n .

The health of the troops at Shikarpoor itselt was mend ing in a trifling degree, the 69th and 7th Cavalry espe cially ; but the troop of Horse Artillery is pronounced hors de combat SUMMAitY OF INTELLIGENCE SINCE THE DEPARTURE OF THE LAST MAIL. (From the Bengal Harkaru, Nov. 16.) The past month has not been prolific in events of a very stirring character. The insurrection in the Kola pore country, which proved to be of a more serious character than we supposed when last we wrote, has been put down, and the disturbed districts seem to be tolerably quiet ; but, on this subject our readers will obtain fuller and more recent accounts from our Bombay contemporaries, 'who are more nearly situated to the field of action. In this Presidency nothing of a very important character has occurred. The Governor- General is still at the Presidency, and rumour is silent on the subject of any intended move from the seat of Government. He appears to be quietly perfecting him. self in the business of his administration ; and such indications as have yet been manifested seem to point to a tranquil and pacific government, pregnant with good to the people of the soil. There is no talk of a war in the Punjaub, or any other immediate em ployment of our troops. Even the civil war, which many anticipated in that long-agitated country, seems to be HO longer imminent. There was a_ deal of va pouring between the two chieti,lieera and . 6OLT; Singh, but, as we surmised, they were not in earnest, and nothing came of all their menaces. They have now come to a pacific understanding, and matters will speedily be settled, though, probably, only to be disturbed again. In the meanwhile, Sawun Mull, the Governor of Moul tan, one of the most able and energetic, and at the same time the most moderate and respectable, of the Seikh chiefs, has been gathered to his fathers. He was shot by a malefactor, whilst sitting on the judgment-seat, and after lingering for a few days, died of his wound. He has been succeeded by his son, Mool Raj. The intelli gence from Affghanistan is, as usual, not very clear and intelligible; but it would seem that the dangers which Dost Mahommed apprehended front the designs of the Usbegs and Tartars have blown Over ; that his successes on the Hindoo Koosh have rolled back the tide of invasion, and that the intrigues of BAhara have been defeated. From the latter place Dr. Wolff has emerged in safety, but of this, in all probability, intelligence will have been re ceived in England before the arrival of the present dispatch. Within the Presidency two domestic events have occa sioned some interest of a painful character. One of these is the suicide of the Raja of Berhampore, who having committed, through his instruments, some acts of cruelty on the person of a dependent, which occasioned, in the sequel, the poor man's death, came down to Calcutta, where intelligence of the tragic issue reached him, coupled with the information that a warrant was out for his arrest. Dreading the indignity of falling into the hands of the myrrniduns of the police, the wretched man blew out his brains. He had previously made a will, leaving the bulk of his large property to be devoted to the establishment and support of an university. The coroner's jury breught in a verdict of felo de se. The other event is the murder, by Dacoits, of Captain Alcock, of the Quartermaster-General's department, who was intercepted, when on a dawk journey, by a band of notorious Dacoits, of whom the police were in pursuit, and being taken for Mr. Unwin, the magistrate, was dragged from his palanquin and cut to pieces. Several of the wretches concerned in this murderous deed have been apprehended. NATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSUIt • ANCE SOCIETY, L 21, CORNHILL, LONDON.

The murder of Europeans by Dacoits is, as the Friend et-fads:a observes. eo unusual that:it- is calculated to excite " a great sensation in society." It is, indeed, a new and bold feature in their proceedings, the more surprising when we recal the decision of the Thugs on this very point. Our readers will doubtless recol lect that, among that class of robbers and murderers, the question of the policy of attacking European tra vellers was regularly discussed and debated, and de cided in the negative, on the ground that the practice would be too dangerous, on account of the great sen sation the murder of a gora would excite, while they might quietly murder a good many natives without at tracting the notice of the authorities ; and this they no doubt had gone on doing for many years without inter ruption, though their traffic in human blood and plunder is now, thanks to the activity of the Thuggee depart ment, nearly terminated, or at least very much checked. In the murder of Captain Alcock, however, mistaken for Mr. Unwiu, it may be observed that the Dacoits have been evidently influenced by revenge against an active magistrate. They have let their vindictiveness get the better of the usual prudence of their professional practice. But the proceeding is not the less new and daring, and if these scoundres escape, and especially the leader of the gang, Kansuhaee, the Dacoits may be emboldened to make attacks on Europeans regularly part of their system, the more so as it cannot be un known to them that our countrymen travel about the country very commonly altogether unarmed. The un fortunate Captain Alcock, it appears, was so travelling, except as to his sword, which an officer always carries with him. He appears to have had no fire-arms, and what could a sword do against a gang of resolute Dacoits ? If he had had fire-arms, he might have had a chance for his life, though but a slender one, and, at least, with the courage he displayed, he would have put some of the scoundrels hors de combat. We would ad vise all our countrymen not, in future, to trust to the exception which Dacoity policy has hitherto made in their favour, but to go well armed whenever they travel by dark. _ _ Purchasers nsust insist upon being supplied in the sbops with " Price's Patent Candles." or they are very likely to got some of the imitations, on account of the greater profit afforded to the dealer by these latter.

WILLIAM ftATR AY, Actuary and Secretary. ALEXANDRIA. DEC. 19.—The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Bentinck, arrived at Suez on the 14th inst., with 40 passengers. She left Calcutta on the 18th Nov., arrived at Madras 22d Nov., Gallee 26th Nov., Aden 6th Dec., and Suez 14th Dec. Mr. Bourne's Postal Convention with the Pacha has been terminated as far as that gentleman is concerned, and it is to be sent to England by the steamer Oriental to be ratified. The conditions are not so satisfactory as expected. Although the particulars of the agreement have not been made public, it is believed that it is based on the same principles as the one made with the French Government for the Indian mails proceeding through. France, and that Mehemet Ali will receive an amount of postage on the mails passing through Egypt to and from India at the rate of 6s. per lb. on letters, and Is. per lb. on newspapers. The term is for five years. The mails will be conveyed through the country by the Vice roy at his own expense, and will be accompanied by an English messenger. Artin Bey, the Prime Minister, has returned to Alex andria, accompanied by Mr. Bourne. The Egyptian Transit Company is still in a state of discomfiture, the real Directors not being yet known. In the mean time the Government continues to take measures to make a monopoly of the transit through Egypt. The British and several European consuls at Cairo have received instructions from the Egyptian Go vernment to prohibit travellers from crossing the Desert between Cairo and Suez by their own conveyances, as the means of proceeding between those two places are to be strictly confined to the Egyptian Transit Company. Said Pacha, Mehemet Ali's son, has again applied to purchase the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Delta, but without success. Owing to very prevalent bad weather, the French steamers have lately been very irregular in their arrivals; and the French schooner Gazelle, which has recently been placed on the line between Beyrout and Alex andria, arrived only on the 16th, whilst she should have been here, under ordinary circumstances, on the 4th. One of the Pacha's Nile steamers, of 50-horse power, was lost a few days ago near Aboukir Bay, on her way from Rosetta to Alexandria. The fault is entirely as cribable to the captain for not taking precautionary measures. The engines of this steamboat were made at Cairo, and her boilers, of copper, are valued at 4,0001. sterling. The mortality amongst the cattle still continues, and although Mehemet Ali is making every effort, at an im mense cost, to replenish the stock in Egypt by constant supplies from Asia Minor and Abyssinia, the number of animals does not increase.

Last Wednesday, shortly after the publication of our paper had closed, we received a private letter confirming the murder, by the hands of a band of robbers, of Capt. Alcock, of the 46th Bengal Infantry, on the high road between Mynpooree and Agra. We have since received several letters from that station, from its neighbour hood, and from the camp of the II th Light Cavalry, which was at no great distance from the scene of this atrocious murder, in progress to Agra, all confirmatory of the first intimation made to us, and hare selected the one amongst our letters giving the clearest account of the crime ; this will be found under the head of " Myn pooree." It will be seen that the ruffians, headed by the desperate villain Ghunsiah, who has earned notoriety in the district by the daring manner in which he escaped from Mr. St. George Tucker, after wounding that gen tleman and murdering one of his attendants, were lying wait for the magistrate, himself proceeding to assist his police in apprehending the gang. Mr. Unwin escaped at the expense of Captain Alcock's life, and will, we hope, leave no stone unturned, no exertion untried, no expense unincurred, to bring the perpetrators of the foul deed to the condign punishment they have earned for this ami their previous numerous acts of violence, sealed in this instance with the blood of an officer of the state. rgeists• , legs s and Take notice, that the goods sold at this sale will not be delivered until after Two clear days of the day they are sold, and that no lots can be paid for at the office of the Receiver of Fines after Two o'clock in the afternoon.

Very few travellers have passed through Alexandria this year with the intention of visiting Upper Egypt. The several crops of wheat, beans, barley, lentils, and sessame seed are excessively short this year, owing, no doubt, to the great scarcity of cattle. Beans have con• tiaued to advance daily in price until they have finally reached 21s. 4d. per quarter, free on board, and it is impossible to say IN hen the speculation in this article will cease. The schooner Emmetje arrived hare yesterday from Beyrout, which place•she left on the Ilth. Very severe weather has prevailed on the coast of Syria since the latter end of November, and a great number of country vessels have been lost on the coast. Fresh supplies of troops were constantly pouring into Syria from Turkey, and Ali Pacha had arrived at Jerusalem to replace the former Pacha, on account of his inactive conduct during the late disturbances, caused by Sheikh Aboo Ghosh, in the neighbourhood of Jerusalem. The new system of petty Christian Governors, under the Druse Emir in the Lebanon, is being carried into operation, but it is not ex pected that much good will be derived from it. The old Turkish coinage lately called in by the Goverment is again perfectly current in every town in Syria. THE SCOTTISH HOSPITAL. Wednesday, at one o'clock, a Court of the Governors of the Scottish Hospital was held at the hall of the cor poration, Crane -court, Fleet-street, for the purpose of receiiing the annual report of the Kinloch Trust, of ap pointing a surgeon, in the room of Mr. H. G. Davidson, who has resigned, and on other business. Mr. Dallas in the chair Major ADAIR, the secretary, read the report of the distribution of the Kinloch Trust, from which it ap peared that the amount of stock was 56,707/. Bs. 6d. (this munificent sum having been left by him for the relief of poor Scotchmen), that the receipt of dividends had been 1,6511. ; that 1,8601 had been distributed in pensions, and that, after comparing other receipts and the expenditure, there remained a balance in the banker's hands of 821. ss. sd. From the funds of the Scottish Hospital, in the course of the last quarter, 298 pen sioners had bees relieved with 2301. 15s. 6d. It was resolved that the account of the trustees of the Kinloch Trust should be printed and circulated among the governors; and the resignation of Mr. Davidson was accepted. Mr. Rowland Hill Mackenzie, a Governor, was appointed in his stead, who acknowledged the honour conferred upon him. Professor DONALDSON then moved a resolution, re questing the Committee of relief to consider and report as to the propriety of giving power to the medical officers of the hospital to afford such additional assis tance in food, &c., as they might consider advisable. Mr. NOBLE seconded the resolution, which was agreed to unanimously. The Court next considered the propriety of discon tinuing the pension of 101. annually to George Monroe, at present residing in Scotland, it being against the rules of the corporation to grant pensions at that distance. The pensioner was formerly in possession of 3001. a year, which was lost in speculations. He was said to be the rightful heir to a Scottish earldom, with property amount ing to 5,0001. a year, to which his grandson would succeed. It was resolved that the allowance be discontinued. SUICIDE or AN INSANE LADT. — VVEdDeSday, Mr Higgs held an inquest at the Salisbury Arms, Durham street, Strand, on the body of Mrs. Fanny Renton, aged 45, the lady of Dr. A. 11. Renton, who committed sui cide. Mrs. Fanny Enoch, of the Island of Madeira, said she had known the deceased nine years. She was the wife of Dr. Alexander Home Rentoa, also of Madeira. On Christmas-day they arrived in London from Madeira, and took apartments at Osborne's Hotel. The deceased had been in an ill state of health, and was decidedly in sane. Before they left :Madeira the deceased several times attempted to strangle herself, and was put under restraint. She also attempted to destroy herself on many occasions during the voyage, but was prevented Since their arrival in England she had appeared Rauch better, and had more liberty. About half-past twelve o'clock on Tuesday night, witness was with her, and wished her to go to bed ; when t.he said. " Wait a little while, as I have to go into this closet." She went in, and wit ness followed her in a minute, and found the dour fas tened. On looking through a hole in the door, she saw her on her knees, and herd blood running into the basin. She called for assistance, and the door was broken open. A razor was in her hand, but how she got it witness did not know. The razor belonged to the doctor. She died in half an hour after. By the jury—The first symptoms of insanity were apparent in October la.t.t, whilst she was travelling with the doctor. Every pre caution was taken to prevent her doing mischief. The reason of coming to England was in hopes that the air of her native land would improve her health, and also to have the best medical aid. Sir Janes Clark and other medical men saw her. The deceased said she could not account for her anxiety to destroy herself, but a cloud came over her all at once. She was a most amiable lady, and had been married to . Dr. Renton nine years. Dr. Renton had been a resident in the Island of Madeira 28 years. Verdict, " Insanity." • (From the Englishman.) The past month has abounded with native holidays, so as very much to interfere with the ordinary course of business, and as the last of these festivals will not take place till next week, our commerce has not yet recovered its usual activity. The arrival of the last mail brought better accounts than were generally expected of the de mand for our staples, and the consequence has been that the holders of the increasing indigo crop are very firm, expecting last year's prices or perhaps a shade higher. This, it must be recollected, is with the full knowledge that the crop will be little short of 150,000 maunds. The turn taken by the exchanges, which are now lower than they have been for the last seven years, greatly fa vours the maintenance of a full price. Had two such crops followed each other during the depression of the past years, it is probable that this important article would have been nearly unsaleable, and that a very great re striction of cultivation would have taken place. The im provement in every branch of manufacture, both in Eng land and upon the Continent, now gives confidence here that the consumption will keep pace with our supply; and though our planters may be deceived in this expec tation they will in general receive a remunerating sum for their past year's work, so that we look for no very considerable reduction of cultivation for the coming year. In a national point of view, the comparatively low prices which are likely to prevail for some time are rather advantageous, as taking from our rivals any great inducement to extend their cultivation, and at the same time producing here a wholesome economy which may yet prove that no other country can successfully compete with Bengal in this important staple. We have reason to believe that money is likely to continue abundant in our market for some time, though the ship ment of the bulk of the indigo crop, aad some thousand chests of opium in the next three months, together with other staples, will relieve the place of a sum not far short of three millions sterling. The company's adver tisement declares for sale no less than 21,526 chests, of which 5,600 will be sold on the 6th of January. The last advises from China are far from favourable, and our market will consequently open at lower rates than was previously anticipated, but the fluctuations in this article are so great, owing to the extensive time bargains con tinually made in it by native capitalists, that it would not surprise us if last season's prices were to be very nearly maintained. The demand for British goods has latterly revived, and some descriptions are now eagerly sought for, notwith standing the immense increase of supply during the past year. There can be no doubt that a more general and ex tensive consumption is gradually taking place, and we ex pect very soon to find India at the head of the list of British exports. The Home Government will then perhaps become aware how much it is in their power to do for the pros perity of this country, and be furnished with a sufficient motive for undertaking it. The improvement in our overland communications, which we have reason to think will be effnted next year, will, we,hop,', be the first great step to a course of measures on the part of Govern ment for the improvement of the most important of the British possessions. By it they will have brought us near enough to be heard, and it will he our own faults if we do not speak. It is with extreme grief that we announce the death, by murder, of Captain Alcock, of the Quartermaster- General's department. It .appears that he was pro ceeding to Neemuch from Cawnpore, and that in passing through the Mynpoore district he was barbarously mur dered by villains who were lying in wait to assassinate the magistrate, for whom they mistook poor Alcock. It would seem that the magistrate's activity in pursuing the Dacoits, who had wounded a Mr. Tucker last 3 ear, had rendered him the object of the vengeance which fell upon Captain Alcock. The body was brought into Myn pooree, and there interred with military honours. Hard to be reserved fur a death of this kind after escaping a more glorious one while displaying his gallantry in the field:of Maharajpore, for which, by the way, he re ceived nothing, while some we could name, who were not near the scene till all was over, received their brevet promotion. SINDE. Our Sinde news down to the 26th ult. informs us that Colonel Moseley's court. martial was expected to com mence about the beginning of this month, and we are told that Captain Flyter is placed in arrest, and is to be tried also ; and it is also reported that Sir C. Napier in tends bringing both the commandants of her Majesty's 13th and 78th Regiments to trial on account of the escape of nine of the condemned men from the custody of the former corps, and one (the last tried) from that of the latter. Letters from Sinde still speak of the fearful sickness raging there. The 7th Cavalry are stated to have but 15 men fit for duty, the troop of Horse Artillery but eight or nine, and the 69th Regiment about 200 ; how ever, as the bad season is now over, it is to be hoped the Europeans, as well as natives, will rapidly improve in health. (From the Bengal Hurharu.) The officers who are to sit on the General Court martial for the trial of Colonel Moseley have been named by Sir Charles Napier. They are—Major-General Simpson, her Majesty's 29th Foot, second in command in Sinde, President ; Lieutenant-Colonel Douglas, Bri gadier ommanding at Kurachee, her Majesty's 78th Foot ; Lieutenant-Colonel Schuler, Bombay Artillery ; Lieutenant-Colonel Aplin, her Majesty's 86th Foot ; Lieut.-Colonel Reid, 12th Bombay Infantry ; Lieut.-Col. Woodburn, 25th Bombay Infantry ; Major Creagh, her Majesty's 86th Foot ; Major Twopeny, her Majesty's 78th Foot • Major Corsellis, 13th Bombay Infantry ; Major Phi llips, 7th Bengal Light Cavalry ; Major Macan, 17th Bombay Infantry; Major Vassal, her Majesty's 78th Foot ; Major Wilton, 4th Bengal In fantry ; Major Kennett. 13th Bombay Infantry ; Major Lowth, her Majesty's 86th Foot • Major Richards, Bth Bombay Infantry ; and Major Sidley, her Majesty's 86th Foot ; members-16 field-officers, with a general officer as President ; 17 in all, Captain Lamert, of her Ma jesty's 78th Highlanders, is to officiate as Judge-Advo cate-General. A steamer was to be in readiness at Kotree on the 28th, for the accommodation of all the members from Kurachee and Hyderabad. From this we infer that the court cannot very well assemble before the 12th or 15th proximo. It is possible we may be furnished with an outline, or perhaps, a copy of the charges brought against Colonel Moseley for our next issue. We hear that they bear chiefly on the alleged concealments regarding the state of his corps. Not one of the convict-mutineers of the 64th who escaped from the quarter-guard of hill. gajesty's 13th Light liqfp,utry, " MTNPOOREE, OCT. 28.—This insignificant district has been put into a state of feverish excitement by an atrocious murder perpetrated on Saturday night last, about 20 miles from the Suddar station. Captain Alcoek, of the 46th Regiment of Native Infantry (for merly of the Quartermaster-General's Department), arrived here by dawk on the 26th inst., from Cawnpore, en route to Agra, apd put up with the Colonel of the gallant 42d, with whom he remained till about four P.M., when he started in prosecution of his journey, with eleven bearers to his train. On reaching Ghurour about eight or nine P.m., they were relieved by a fresh set, who had hardly proceeded on about half-a-mile, when within :tot) yards of a police chowkee they were stopped by twelve ruffians (four of them mounted), and ordered to put down the palkee. The bearers (like natives in general) took to their heels, and left the poor captain to defend himself as best he could. He immediately stepped out, sword in hand, and questioned the gang as to who they were, and what they required ; without, however, answering him, they commenced an attack upon the poor defenceless man. Whilst defending himself against such fearful odds, all armed to the teeth, he received a wound on the wrist of the sword hand, which totally disabled him, and forced him to seek safety by retreat. He had hardly got away three hundred yards from the scene of action, when one of the ruffians fired at and brought him to the ground, when they came up, and inflicted several deep wounds (I believe eleven), from the effects of which, two in particular on the forehead and the back of the neck (nearly severing the windpipe), he must have in stantly expired. His remains were brought in on a charpae yesterday morning, about ten o'clock, and in terred with military honours this morning. This mur der is supposed to have been committed by that notorious prisoner (still at large) who br_ke gaol at Muttra, after murdering the guard in charge, some time back (Ghun siah), for whose apprehension a reward has been pro claimed by Government, and who pot many months since murdered the Thanader of Kooraoolee, and wounded the assistant magistrate, who had gone to apprehend him upon information brought by an approver. You may guess what a reckless and daring villain the fellow must be when I tell you, that a night previous to the murder of Captain Alcook he had been attacked by the Thanadar and a small portion of the police in the Shekoabad Pergunnah, where, after having had two of his followers killed, and several wounded with him self, he made off in the darkness of the evening amongst steep and dense ravines, in which a part of the Shekoabad Pergunnah abounds. The police did their duty, though circumstances beyond their control led to the Dacoits having eluded capture. The case was immediately reported to the magistrate, and (energetic as he has always shown himself) he forthwith made the neccessary arrangements and left the station to encourage pursuit by his own immediate presence. It appears, that the ruffian and his gang got timely in timation of the magistrate's movements, and they awaited his arrival at the very spat where poor Captain Alcock encountered them, but mistaking their victim they mur dered him, as the magistrate, who providentially, by ar riving half an hour later than the captain, averted the awful fate which awaited him. Does all this not show a most dreadful and lamentable state of things? Unless, indeed, a more liberal reward than has already been offered by Government is held out, I fear some further serious depredations and less of valuable lives will be the consequence of injudicious parsimony. Ihe magistrate is still out in hot pursuit of the offender, and it is earnestly hoped he may be successful in capturing the villian. All at the station just now are on the qui vive, and dawk travellers are already getting scared. SUICIDE OF A NATIVE PRINCE. (From the Bengal Hurkaru, Nov. 2.) Raja Kishennath Roy, of Berhamp ore , shot himself on last Thursday. The man whom - he was accused of having caused to be cruelly tortured has died from the injury he had received, and the young Raja, under ap prehension of the consequences to himself, was driven to the dreadful act of self-murder. He was living at his mother's house in Chitpore-road, where, on the day in question, he invited Mr. Strettell and Mr. Herklots, and asked them to witness the execution of a folded document, which he himself signed, and told them it was his last will and testament. Very shortly after these gen tlemen had left him he locked himself within a room, and, loading one barrel of a double-barrelled percussion gun, bent his head over the muzzle and drew the lock with his foot. Instantly he fell dead to the ground. The discovery of the fact was made by the report at tracting some of the inmates of the house to the room. Not long after the occurrence, the deputy superinten dent of police proceeded to the house, and found the body of the unfortunate young man on the floor in a sitting posture, with the back le3niug against the wall, and the fatal gun resting over one shoulder. The osfrontis was completely blown away, and fragments of the brain were observed on different parts of the wall and ceiling, and a flattened ball lay near the foot of the corpse. 'i he features were not much distorted, beyond the nose, which appeared much distended. The will left behind is said to be a very lengthy one, but regularly drawn up. In it several handsome legacies are men tioned, while a very munificent portion of the estate bas been willed away tewards the beneficent object of found ing a college, or, as the will expresses it, a " university," at Berhampore, with an hospital attached. The young Raja has, likewise, bequeathed a handsome legacy to one of his favourite domestic servants ; and likewise the interest of a sufficient sum to be given for the sub- RAW SILL—The native holders of this staple having left Calcutta for the interior, in consequence of the Doorgab Poojah holidays, which are followed by several others (as before noticed), they have scarcely, even as yet, returned and sett!ed to business. Fine descriptions of Cossimbiaar and Jung:, pore are much inquired for, but scarce, and one or two small parcels have changed hands at about former rates. In Radnagore and Hurri peel sorts some transactions have taken place, but the principal holders of those kinds are disposed to wait the arrival of the next mail, which they seem to expect will bring more favourable accounts of the home market; but, whether this be the case or not, we think they will then be obliged to realise. Exports to Great Britain from the Ist inst. up to date amount to only 427 maunds. SILK PIECE GOODS.—AII descriptions of fabrics under this head have continued in extensive inquiry, and really first-rate goods have brought a very high figure. Com mon native descriptions have also sold extensively, at a slight advance. We may here remark, that, although our market continues fairly supplied, the quality has already decidedly deteriorated, and will, most probably, do so to a greater extent, as is usually the case when the raw material maintains its price. Exports from the Ist ult. up to date have been—to Great Britain, 16,339 pieces corahs, and 1,778 pieces choppas and bandannas. OPIUM.—The price of this drug has for some time past continued gradually to decline, and our quotations are now as low as 1,380 Company's rupees per chest for Patna, and 1,285 for Benares. The Waterwitch, how ever, having just cleared out with no less than 988 chests, leaving in the Company's godowns only 330 chests against 1,220 at the same period last year, has caused holders to show more firmness; and it is probable that prices have now seen their lowest, at all events until the next Government sale. CorroN.—We have not beard of a single transaction in this article throughout the month, nor is there at pre sent any vessel loading with it for China. Brcx.—A decline of upwards of ss. having taken place in freights, the demand noticed in our last has continued, and as high as 2-3 Company's rupees per maund has been paid for the best description of table rice. Broken has also been much inquired for, and there nut being much offering, shippers have been obliged to pay from 1-5 to 1-7 Company's rupees per maund. Moonghy and Ballum have sold extensively for Bourbon, China, and the Straits, but for the Mauritius there has not been a great deal doing. Exports from the Ist inst. up to date are as follows, viz.:—To Great Britain, 34,257 maunds; to the Mauritius, 30,000. SMEL Lac AND Lac DYE.—Both these articles have been in consichaaWe demand during the past month for Great Britain and America, and transactions would, think, have been on a more extensive scale had suitable qualities been procurable. Two or three sales of fine shel lac, of European manufacture, have been effected at 14 and 14-o Company's rupees p , T maund ; also of some low native manufacture, about 8 to 10. In lac dye we have not heard of any transactions in European marks, but considerable sales are reported of native, of middling quality, at from 15 to 20 Exports from the lst instant up to date have been as follows, viz.:---To Great Britain, 590 maunds shel lac, 429 maunds lac dye ; to North America, 190 maunds shel lac, 404 maunds lac dye. COLOURED YARN.—AII descriptions hare been in fair demand, and sales to some extent are reported at about last month's rates. COPPER.—We have no alteration to notice in this metal. Prices of sheathing may be quoted about the same as last month', sales, having been effected to a mo. derate extent at 34 Company's rs., to 34r. 2a. Tile is not so much inquired for, but 31r. 12a. has been offered. Holders, however, are not dispe,ed to realise under 31r.. 14a., at which a few sales have been effected Imports in October were as follows, viz. :--Tile and ingot, 4,284 =tunas ; nails, 79 maunds ; sheet and plate, 3,719 maunds ; old, .58 maunds. SPELTER.—Transactions have not been very exten sive, but prices do not show any variation from the quo tations given in our last, viz , 11r. Ba. to 11r. 12a. Ar rivals, however, have of late been very heavy, say, about 550 tons. Imports in October were 4,768 maunds. IRON.—There has been rather more doing in common bar, and the bazaar dealers having reduced their stocks are now obliged to come forward to purchase, but as yet we have not heard of any extensive contracts having been entered into. Pig is dull of sale and heavy in stock, as are also sheet and nail rod, and prices of the latter are on the decline. Imports in October were as follows, viz. :—Bar, bolt, and rod, 1,967 maunds; hoop, 297; sheet, 5,345 ; kentledge, 3,000 ; Swedish, 1,284 ; nails, 165. LEAD AND TIN PLATES. —Tin plates have advanced in price, the last sale reported being 275 boxes at 15r. 4a. Pig lead has sold to a moderate extent at 6r. sa. per maund; patent sh )t at 3r. peF bag; red lead at 9r. lo Or. 4a. per m•Jund. In other-,-)descriptions no sales re ported. Imports in October wote as follows, viz. :—Tin plates, 708 boxes; pig lead, 2,21 k maunds; sheet lead, 550 maunds; shot lead, 1,528 age; white lead, 136 maunds; red lead, 1,225 maunds. MINLRAL WEALTH OF ALGIERC—A traveller to Algiers makes an important report of the mineralogical wealth of the sea-coast lands in the province of Oran. On the slope of one of the mountains which form the southern barrier of this portion of the shore, he has seen, he says, magnificent masses of alabaster, of a whiteness and beauty excelling those of the Tuscan ala baster of Boltera. Not far distant are rich mines of mineral salt. On the side of Orleanville and Tenez are deposits of lenticular iron and sulphuretted eepper— while long veins of carbonate of iron and of lead allow themselves in the fissures of the rocks, and appear even above the soil. Finally, the traveller in question for lowed, for a space of 6,000 metres, a vein of glance-iron. (ler oligiste) of an extent and regularity almost unex singled a utatasysical ifoirmad.
