Vol. XL—JACK SHEPPARD. beyond doubt that the chief authorities view their movements with no 'small alarm, and are preparing in every possib:e way to protect the city from their violence. As regards the origin of the present outbreak, it will be remembered that in April, 1849, large bodies of militia were in training, as was believed, to oppose any attempt on the part of foreigners to enter the city. This may have been the chief object of their organization ; but the authorities averred that they were raised to defend the city against large numbers of lawless persons then in arms in the provinces, and some of the proclamations assigned this as a motive for calling on the people to subscribe funds to main tain the militia. The Peking Gazettes of the above period record the defeat and capture of 552, for which Sii, Ye the Governor, and others, were honourably noticed ; and 'he death of a Major slain by robbers in Yteg teh, one of the districts in which they are at this moment in chief face, and the magistrate of which, with hie subordinates, was rewarded in a decree of August, 1849. for the capture of some 140 of them ; but up to the 25th of July last numerous memorials and rescrip's have appeared, on the other hand, regarding the disturbed state of Hu-nan and Kwang-si, which two provinces are conterminous with each other and with K %yang. lung. In December the authorities of Hu-nan reported the extermination of 300 and odd banditti in Sin ning, not far from the borders of Kwang-si ' • but in the following month an o ffi cer was stated to have been killed in conflict with some of the band, and in April a general officer and others were degraded for not giving a better account of them. In May the same province reported the destruction of five hundred and more, and the dispersion of the Teat, who had fled into Kwei-chau, a province also conterminous, on their western fronts, with Kwang-si and Hu-nan. The capture of Li Yuen-fall, the leading " rebel " in the latter, not long after procured for the Gover nor-General of Hu-kwang the honorary title of guardian of the Crown Prince, and post humous honours were awarded in June to a Major and other officers killed in action with the banditti of Hu-nan and Kwang-si. A decree of the 25th of July directed the Governors of these two provinces and of Kwei-chau to be vigilant in pre venting parties of them from crossing the frontiers of their respective jurisdictions. During the period under review there are three notices in the Gazette of robbers captured or posthumous honours awarded to officers slain in their pursuit in Kwang-si. It is utterly silent respecting their proceedings in Kwang tung. The common belief is, that the band now so for midable is composed of natives of all three provinces. Tney were active in the summer months in the south of Kwang-si, and either stormed or held to ransom two district cities, if not more, in its south-west ter ritory, which rests, so to speak, upon Kwang-tung. They are said to have pushed northwards within the limits of the former province, until they reached its easternmost department, whence, after sacking the district town of Ho, they appear to have passed into the district of Ying-teh, and thence into that of Tsing-yuen, the city of which is but 120 miles from Canton, and only separated by two districts from those on the common border of which the city itself For a bold, jubilant, crowd-stirring conception, commend us to M. Jullien. The "Army and IN,vy Qoadrilles" have each had their ovation. Long slumbering melodies, which worked up the hearts of our grandsires, have been evoked and stirred, as in the lap of peace, with the memories of past prowess. But Jullien is not wholly anti-C..hdenic in his sympathies. He can tune you the shepherd's pipe as well as the martial trumpet—nay, more, he can array trumpet, drum, and cymbal, besiite the amorous oboe and the sprightly fiddle, and make them blend their voices in the hymen of peace. Last night saw him in his height of glory and pride of success. The Great Ex hibition of 1851 has begotten in his brain a grand " inspiration." To say that that " inspiration" has assumed the firm of a quadrille will he enough for all who know to what superb dimensions that class of composition expands itself under M. Jullien's want. Tier upon tier rise the merry minstrels, so:ne in the garb of peace, others in the trappings of war. Instruments are there, various as the myriad melodies gathered from all regions. The bands of the Royal Artillery, the 2:i Life Guards, and the C:ddstrearn Guards (under their respective conductors, Collins, G. Cooke, and the ve teran Godfrey), ancient allies of M. Jultien, were on this great occasion reinforced by some score of drum mers of the French National Guard, under the pic turesque direction of M. Barbier, the tambour-major. This corps made the hearts of the audience leap, and brought a rosy tint upon many a fair cheek, with their pas acceleres, recloub,es, reveilles, rAppels, marches, nna other military ordonnances of the French army. To the curious in the art of drumming, their performance is a rare treat. Tne execu • tion of a diminuendo passege in the rappel was a most masterly performance. After solos by Lavigne, Pratten, Collinet, those renowned guitarists, the Messrs. Ciebra ; Soualle, on the Corno-Musa ; Sommers, on the Botebardon ; Cioffi, Koenig, Stree t her, and Baldacci, we find ourselves hurried along in the " March of all Nations." " The Morning of the Inauguration," we quote M. Jullien's emphatic precis, "of the Grand Exhibition is supposed to have arrived. The great city, which, for the first time shelters such masses from all parts of the known world, is, as yet, tranquil, when, at day break, the festival is ushered in by the sounding of the chimes of London, echoed far and near from each surround• ing belfry. Soon the city is in movement, and the multitudes hasten towards the same goal, all eager to behold the most stupendous realization of human in dustry recorded in the history of the globe. A tre mendous shout bursts forth, and the welcomed nations, one and all, join in the cry.—' God Save the Queen.' " This is epic, and it is something more; for it is in terpreted to those who might happen not to have a programme by the vivacious gestures, the flickering baton, and the übiquitous gloves of Jullien. Nothing was wanting to the most complete success, except, it may be, a little more individuality in the gigantic octo-basso, which filled a larger space in the eyes than in the ears of the audience. The most cordial wel come was given to the French corps, whose martial appearance and decorous recognition of the national feeling, when more particularly challenged upon the playing of the national anthem, commanded the ge neral admiration of a crowded and enthusiastic au dience. There is a dignity in the silence preserved by Mr. Ainsworth in reference to his literary assailants. Jack Sheppard" appears in his new end popular form without any prefatory notice whatever. We cannot but regard the circumstanca as in the highest degree honourable to the disposition of the novelist. Nevertheless, while appreciating the amenity of tem • per evinced by the ornissioe, sve cannot hut regret that the author of " Jack Sheppard" has not given utterance, in some measure at least, to those senti merits of indignation which must inevitably have been long cherished by him with regard to his literary assailants. After so many virulent attacks as have at different periods been directed against the popularity of Mr. Ainsworth's writings, with a view to deteriorate his reputation, we should have rejoiced to hear from the lips of our author himself some reply, no matter how scornful or incidental. Not that we regard his popularity as needing any vindication, in reference either to the selection of his subjects, or to their treatment as romances. Oa the commencement of the present admirable re-issue of his collected fic tions we took occasion ourselvi s to expose the filly, not to say the egregious injustice, of assailing Mr., Ainsworth as the first offender in a style of narrative which had been tolerated more or less in most of his literary predecessors and contemporaries—in sonic instances eulogised terns even in ters of extravagant enthusiasm. It can scarcely be forgotten by the loiers of modern literature, that in answer to a charge somewhat similar to the one here hinted at, Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton penned a response to the hypercritics, in the form of a most cogent and mas terly pamphlet. In that brochure the poet. novelis';, taking his text, as it were, from the higher orders of imaginative composition, maintained that the consi deration of crime was the essential prerogative of the tragic dramatist, and that upon the same reasoning it was also a no less allowable theme for the tragic romancist. .2Eschylus may be said, indeed, in a great measure to have based his celebrity upon the accept ance of this principle. Shaksnere again, with a like appreciation of the veritable attributes of the " poet" or creator, infused the same ghastly truth into his most remarkable masterpieces. It would be somewhat difficult, we conceive, to show that the atrocities perpetrated by Clytemnestra have ever been surpassed by the most villanous criminals whose sinister histories have been recorded in the pages of the Newgate Calendar. Neither to our thinking would it be less embarrassing to demonstrate the existence of a greater amount of depravity in the housebreaker, whose hands were never stained with blood, and whose principal shame was that of having adopted burglary as his profession, than in the re morseless thane whose investiture with the diadem of royalty arose out of one of the most dastardly mur ders ever perpetrated—that of an aged guest slumber ing under his roof—and whose continued possession of the sceptre was attributable only to a series of bloody assassinations. The heinous infamy of Macbeth has never yet been considered suf ficient to remove him beyond the pale of our sympa thies. Yet criminals we might almost say infinitely small in comparison are regarded as altogether with out the reach even of our regard or consideration. it may be said, or rather is said, that in the one instance the grossness of the crime is in a manner sublimated by its poetic treatment, whereas in the other instance he felon is submitted to our notice in his natural as pect through the homelier medium of a prose narra tive. Than this we can conceive no more shallow or more prepos!asrous argument. Instead of justifying the dramatist at the expense of the novelist, the circumstance does exactly the reverse. For, assuredly, vice may be invested with attraction and crime with a sort of diseased sublimity by their celebration in the lofty numbers of poesy—while the portraiture of either the one or the other in the humbler guise of a prose description re veals their more obvious and undeniable characteris tics. Hence it is that the delineation of the darker phases of humanity by the hand of the novelist ap pears to us calculated to be beneficial rather than pernicious—revealing atrocity in its true form, and dragging before us crime in its very nakedness, not tricked out in the pomp of a poetic masquerade. A fanciful theory has been advanced by Mr. Disraeli, if we recollect rightly, in his psychological romance of " Contarini Fleming"—to the effect that the poet having breathed out his soul to the world, first in ballads, then in odes, then in epics, then in dramas, after employing as the medium of his inspiration all the ingenious styles of composition, the idyll, the elegy, the sonnet, the hymn, the psalm, and the la mentation, has at length, in a more perfected age of civilization, adopted, as the vehicle of his thought, the form of the rhymeless and rhythmlets, but still poetic, romance. 'Whether this notion be strictly correct, or otherwise, it is certain that the novelist is the child, or descendant, of the poet, and that, as one epoch spoke through the tragic or comic drams, our own speaks through the prose romance. As the heir of the poet, the novelist is, therefore, entitled to the use of those great prerogatives for merly enjoyed by his predecessor, and, among these, not one is more inestimable in its influence er more capable of judicious employment, than the preroga tive according to which crime and criminals may lie delineated. Fielding felt this when he penned the history of that most despicable wretch, the thief taker " Jonathan Wild"—God win felt it when he made the interest inspired by a murder the main-spring of " Caleb Williams"—Scott felt it when he caused the evil practises of Dirk Hatterick to infuse a charm into the pages of " Guy Mannering"-13ulwer when he celebrated the life of the highwayman " Paul Clifford" Dickens when he painted the grim and bloody figure of Sykes flying from the corpse of his paramour, in those powerful chapters which precede the close of " Oliver Twist." Actuated by the same sentiments, Harri son Ainsworth wrote his enthralling romance of " Jack Sheppard." A narrative of more absorbing interest we cannot call to our recollection. Once commenced, it is idle to think of putting it aside until read to its conclusion. Every leaf contains an incident, and these incidents are chiefly of the most breathless character. From the storm on the Thames, magnificently described at the outset, to the exe cution of the hero, with which, of course, the story is brought to an appropriate termination, the work rivets the attention of the reader, and that too by the st.roog and legitimate power of the descriptions. Throughout "Jack Sheppard" the crimes of the more diabolical characters introduced are always held up to unmitigated detestation, as may be especially seen by reference to Janathan Wild—the Jonathan Wild of Henry Fielding! Poetic justice is done to the vices and felonies of the hero by his being ostentatiously conducted to the gallows at Tyburn ; and our sympathies are excited towards Jack simply because of his possession of some excellent qualities, or through the admiration very justly ex cited by his daring and even wonderful escapes from confinement. In the person of Thames Darrell and in that of 'Winifred 'Wood, the author has well vindicated his capacity for the de lineation of the more gentle aspects of humanity. Mrs. Sheppard herself, the mother of the burglar, is charmingly conceived, and it is impossible not to recognize fine traits of a better disposition than might be expected even in poor Blueskin. Among the most vigorous portions of the work, al way s excepting the account of Jack's escapes from incarceration, is the passage relating to the assassina tion of Sir Rowland Trencisard in the well hole, by the thief-taker and his Jewish satellite, Abraham Mendez. It reveals in the intellect of Mr. Ains worth that supreme command over the horrible which, if he had been a painter instead of a novelist, would have induced him to portray such incidents as that transpiring in the prison of Ugolino. For our selves, one of the most masterly and interesting chapters in the romance is the one in which Jack is visited at Newgate by Sir James Thornhill, Gay, Figg, and Hogarth. Happily, however, for Mr. Ainsworth, the time has passed by when a detailed criticism on I " Jack Sheppard" was requisite to introduce it to pub• lie consideration. All that remains for us at present is briefly to notify the fact of the present republica• tion, a republication the more interesting when it is remembered that this eleventh volume comprises. perhaps, the most remarkable of all the fictions of Harrison Ainsworth, with the single exception of the "Miser's Daughter." is situated. A note, received this morning (28th), states that on the 4th inst., a party of them sacked Kinchau, a district town Lien-cbau, the West De partment of Kwang-tung, the chief city of which was still in a state of siege. The place in question is not far from the borders of Kwang-si and Tonquin. We have of course no better authority for stating their progress and present position than native cor respondents, who differ widely in dates and details. Two, however, who have no connexion with each other, agree in stating that the Government troops have been frequently beaten during the last two months; that reinforcements are being sent out with out intermission; that Shap-'ng-tsai and another ex pirate, who had been, like himself, taken into the army, had been captured and held to ransom by the insurgents, and a large body of reclaimed pirates who had accompanied them cut to pieces or dis persed ; that an expectant prefect, a civilian of some importance, had fallen into their hands, the men under his command, who were from the east of the pro vince, and a most disturbed region, having deserted in large numbers to the enemy ; and that the gentry and people had responded to the invitation of the Government to arm themselves for the protection of the city. Rewards have been offered for the appre• hension of suspicious characters ; and all amusements, processions, &c., calculated to attract a crowd of people, forbidden. Sand and stones are said to be piled up inside the gates, which would be thus rendered defensible, when closed, if an alarm were given; and water vats have been filled near public buildings, in case any attempt should be made to fire the city. Of Su, we hear that he has been, and is seriously indisposed ; but that the Emperor has refused to sanc tion his retirement, requested on the plea of ill-health. Both our native correspondents declare that he is de graded four steps, but desired to remain at his post, and that the Governor of Kwang-si has been sent pri soner to Pekin, in obedience to an order contained in a rescript, to answer for his mismanagement. One of them writes that an Intendant in Kwang-si in despair had destroyed himself by swallowing gold ; also that . Sii himself had in July last accompanied a portion of the force known as the Governor- General's division, to the district of Tsing-yuen, and havii.g sustained a defeat, had fallen back upon San Shwui. This last item of intelligence deserves little credit. Those pre ceding it are entitled to more, but a late account con tradicts a previous report that the Governor of Kwang-si had poisoned himself, and shows him to be actively engaged in opposing the robbers on the Eastern border of his government. It is further rumoured that some time since Su represented that Kwang-si was in a state of rebellion. The term employed, however, would be applied to any body or individual offering a continued resistance to constituted authority and by no means warrants the assumption that this movement is of the revolu tionary character with which some foreigners are;dis posed to invest it. The chiefs, as is common on such occasi,ns, have taken to themselves titles of awful grandiloquence, such as " The Realm-subduing Gene ral," " Generalissimo of the whole Empire, sweeping clean to the North, rising up as the Dragon," &c. &c. Dangerous as may be the temptation to the disaffected if these vagabonds continue to hold their own for some months, we have as yet no shadow of ground for be lieving that their aim is the subversion of the Tartar dynasty. Some disturbances, but purely of a local nature, had taken place at Shanghae. ADELPHI THEATRE. A new dr.ma from the pens of Mr. Robert Frough and of Mr. Bridgman, a new aspirant for dramatic fame, was produced here last evening with the most complete success. It is entitled Jessie Gray, and Madame Celeste, of course, acts the part of the heroine; she is supposed to he the niece of a benevo lent apothe , a.:r, Dr. Gray (Mr. 0. Smith), who is in practice in London, and whose assistant Jukes (Mr. G. Honey) is the " funny man" of the piece, being over head and ears in difficulties, in love (with a marchande de modes cleverly acted by Mis- Kathleen Fit zwilliam), and in terror, lest he should be arrested for hav ing, as he thinks, poisoned a footman by mistake, and being, moreover, haunted by that perpetual bugbear of all unfledged medicos, " going up to pass." Jessie Gray is loved by Philip Harville (Mr. Boyce), the nephew of Sir Richard Harville (Mr. H. Hughes), a cold-blooded haughty man, who determines to prevent what he considers a mesalliance by exciting the jea lousy of his nephew. To effect this he works upon the fears of Jukes, and forces bi:n to give Jessie an opiate, and when she is asleep to introduce himself and the housekeeper into her bedroom, so that their shadows are seen at the:window by Philip, whom he has taken care to have in waiting in the street. In agony Philip declares that he will now marry in accordance with his uncle's wishes, and he sees Jessie to take leave of her. The scene between Jessie and Philip is admirably wrought up, and was acted with intense feeling by Madame Celeste. Her expression of agony when she hears herself falsely accused was harrowing. Still, however, there is some feeling of love for Jessie yet lurking in the heart of Philip ; and the Baronet, to make all secure, determines to have her seized and conveyed away to sea in his yach►. For this purpose he engages Pro fessor Chester (Mr. P. Bedford), a gentleman who, having some years before gone to New South Wales at the public expense, has returned to England at his own, and is getting his living as the Hercules of a poses plastiques exhibition. The professor is secreted in Gray's house, and there he overhears a conversa- tion between Jessie and the Doctor (Gray), from which it appears that Jessie is not the doctor's niece, but an orphan whom he had found deserted at an hotel in Paris, and had adopted. The Professor likewise discovers that Gray's housekeeper, who is assisting in the plot for the abduction of Jessie, is no other than his own wife, from whom, for various reasons, he is anxious to keep the fact of his existence a secret. The scene now changes to the house of the Baronet, where the denouement takes place. There is a large and fashionable party there, and the salons are crowded with dancers ; the Doctor calls, and is shown into a parlour ; he demands a private interview with the Baronet, and after some difficulty obtains one; he reproaches him with his conduct to Jessie, and his remonstrances are received by Sir Richard with sneers and contempt. Soon, however, the attention of the Baronet is awakened, the Doctor speaks of years gone by, of a secret marriage, of a wife deserted, and of a child lost —the proud man now beseeches the apothecary to say all he know., that wife was his, that child was his, and that child is Jes-ie Gray. He is overwhelmed with anguish and remorse, when Jessie herself enters, accompanied by the Professor. The Professor had discovered the secret of Jessie's parentage, had saved her, and had sent his own wife to sea in her stead. Of course matters are now satisfactorily arranged, and Jessie is united to Philip, while Jukes, having " passed," is married to his pretty marchande de modes. We know not to which of the authors the credit is due of the construction of the plot of this drama ; if to Mr. Bridgman, he has exhibited an artistical know ledge of play building infinitely superior to that of many an old and favourite playwright. It is one of the best constructed dramas ever put on the stage; the incidents arise naturally out of each other, and all tend to the development of the plot ; while the comic characters, which usually are mere hors d'oeuvre, are in Jessie Gray so con nected with the drama as to form necessary parts of the ensemble, and to be actively engaged in bringing about the denouement. The niece was well acted, Madame Celeste was admirably fitted in the character of Jessie Gray, and acted it in that intensely im passioned manner which is so peculiar to her, and in which none other can approach her. Mr. H. Hughes, in his line the best melo-dramatic actor on the stage, acted the contemptuous, haughty, calcu lating villain with a cool assumption of superiority that. told immensely ; he seemed an incarnation of intellect without feeling ; but when the heart was MASSACRE ON BOARD THE FRENCH SHIP ALBERT. (From the Overland Friend of China of Sept. 28 ) Our issue of the 24th August recorded the depar ture of the French ship Albert, of Dieppe, Captain Jean Pain, from Cumsingmoon for the west coast of South America. That vessel was chartered to carry 180 coolies, some of whom, shipped for Don D. Elias through the firm of A. A. Ritchie and Co., received previous to departure the sum of 8 dolls. each, re payable out of a salary of 4 dolls. per month, accru ing on their arrival at Lima, for services to be ren dered as general servants, the contract being made for a period of five years. Besides the captain, chief mate, boatswain, cook, and a crew of six seamen, there were two passengers on board. In latitude 32 N., longitude 139 E., on the 7th in stant, about six A.M., the coolies, who had secretly possessed themselves of arms, rose en masse. The captain, driven from his cabin to the top of the round house, had his throat cut, and was thrown overboard immediately. One of the passengers was murdered in his cabin, the cook shared the same fate in his galley, and the mate—chased up into the main top, seeing no chance of escape, desperately precipitated himself among the miscreants, one of whom he killed instanter, and desperately wounded another. The poor fellow was immediately dispatched and consigned to the deep. The boatswain, Luis Argentine, was then directed to steer the ship back to China, and the course was altered from N.N.E. to S. by W. ac cordingly. Five days afterwards, in lat. 28 N., long. 133.37 E., a severe gale was experienced from the S.E., veer ing to S S.W., during which the top-gallant masts went over the side. On Thursday, off Pinghoy, a pilot went on board whO was directed by the Chinese to steer for Canton. One hundred of them left the vessel in the first boats going alongside. Forty left yesterday morning, and the remaining forty came into this harbour with the vessel in the afternoon, when they were immediately taken from her to the police-station. • She is in a sad state. Packages of silk shawls, tea, lacquered ware, vermillion, medicines , et a., have been broken open and divided into lots, of which several still remain on board. Before leaving, some of them very quietly removed the barometer, a chronometer, and compass from the captain'a cabin, and took them away altogether. Twenty-four of them are supposed to have arrived here as soon as the vessel. Four men were captured by our indefatigable Deputy Superintendent of Police Mr. Caldwell, just as they were leaving for Macao. Tneir packs, containing silk shawls and agreements with the Albert, leave no doubt as to their being part of the ga ng.—Sept. 28. touched in the last scene, his acting was full of agonizing passion. No one understands the art of contrast better than this gentleman, or employs it more artistically or more effectively. 0. Smith, albeit unused to the melting mood, acted the part of the virtuous Apothecary with becoming unction, and used his white pocket-handkerchief with due de corum ; and Paul Bedford, as Hercules, was very funny. The great hit of the night, however, was the Jukes of Mr. G. Honey, he acted it with a dry quaint humour that took the audience by storm ; he kept them in a roar of laughter the whole time he was on the stage, and at the conclusion of the drama was honoured with the first call. Henceforth he takes his station among the best of the humoro us actors of the day. The piece is admirably put on the stage, and is a decided hit. The theatre was crowded in every part. GREAT EXHIBITION, 185 I.—Messrs: J. and R. Yl`Crticken, of No. 7, Old Jewry, have this day received a further consignment from the Russian Commission, consisting of 129 packages, which they are taking steps to deposit with the previous consignment under the re gulations established by the Board of Customs for the custody of the goods from the northern ports, until the building in 11)de-park be ready to receive them. TIIE EXHIBITION OF 1851. —Notwithstanding the additional gallery accommodation which it has already been . determined sl. a ll b e at t ac h e d t o the building in Hyde-park, it appears that still further space is deemed requisite, and to provide for which Mr. B. Edgington has, at the request of Mr. Digbv Wyatt, attended several days, and given flume roils suggestions to effect the required extension by wane of nioistre tent s , & e., and yesterday was derived to estimates for the same. It is understood that the increased space to be thus given will comprise an area of about 350 square feet. POOR RATES IN CLEREENWELL. —On Saturday upwards of 400 summonses were issued from Clerkenwell Court against different householders of that parish for a rrears of poor rate, which has latterly increa sed to 2s. 6d. m the pound. [AovErrrisEmENT.l -- Another Sufferer from a Liver Complaint cured ty Hollowa)'s Pills.—The wife of a respectable tradesman residing in the neighbourhood of 'I hrap ston was suffering for more than two years from a severe liver complaint, during which period she received the best medical advice, but without deriving the slightest benefit therefrom. She then made trial of Holloway's Pills, and by their use alone she has been restored to perfect health. 'lhe name of the party cured is not made public, but Mrs. Collier, bookseller, Thurpstone, can vouch for th e au thenticity cf th,i case. These pills are also an in fallible remedy for indigestion, bilious attacks, head aches, and disorders of the stomach.—Sold by all Druggists and at Professor Holloway's Establishment, °44, Strand, London.

Business in our import market during the past fort night has been less active even than during the period reported on our last, and the sales effected have been to a very small extent con,idering the season of the year, which has heretofore been generally active during Vle month of October. This state of matters will probably continue till tte termination of the Dewalee holy days, which take place early next month. Tke aceounts re ceived from the interior of the prospects of the harvest have not been such as to encourage the native dealers to speculate. In the export market considerable activity has prevailed during the past week, and large quantities of cotton have been purchased for the home market. In other produce little has been done. Cotton Piece Goods—The market for piece goods has been duller during the past fortnight than it has been for some time, and prices of nearly all descriptions have fallen to a greater or less extent. Grey Goods—Domestics have sold to an extent of 4,400 pieces, at prices varying from sr. la. to 12r. per piece. They are in moderate inquiry by the Arab dealers for dyeing, but the prices offered by them are far from their real value. Shirtings—Sales, 1,150 pieces, at 5r.15a, to 6r. 6a.dull, and prices less by an anna or so a piece than at date of last report. T Cloth— Sales, 700 pieces, at 2r. 14a. Demand extremely dull. In longcloths we have heard of no sales. Madapollams —Sales, 6.000 pieces, at 2r. ilia. to 2r. 12ia. per piece. For both these and jacconets a reduction in price has been submitted to, but of the latter no sales have been reported. Dhoties—ln small request, the only sale re ported being one of 966 pieces, at lir. per piece. Bleached goods have been almost totally neglected, the only sales we have heard of being jacconets 400 pieces, at sr. 2a. to 84r., and 802 pieces lappets at lir. to 2ir. For longcloths of good quality a -little demand has existed—no sales, but the coarser descrip tions are uninquired for. The same may be said of madapollams and mulls. Dyed and fancy goods— There has been scarcely any inquiry for Turkey red, good of the only sale reported being one of 100 pieces twills at 11r. Of coloured prints 3,360 pieces have been sold at 2r. 9a. to 3r. 13a. A fair inquiry exists for mulls, purple and bleached, and Turkey red starched, low book muslins, dhoties, low lappets and lappet scarfs, prints'of suitable patterns, and dyed orange madapol lams. For Swiss lappets of the better qualities, barnes mulls, book muslins, and orange and zebra dresses s there has been no inquiry. Cotton yarn—The sales amount to 30 bales mule and the same quantity water twist, with 55 cases ball thread. In dyed yarn we have no sales to report, though orange is in some little demand. In the sales effected a decline iu price has been submitted to. Metals—Copper—Nearly all descriptions have de clined in value, except South American, which retains its former price, but it is very dull. Iron—English bar has further given way, while hoop and nailrod are dull at former prices. Sheet has somewhat imps oved. No transactions have taken place in Swedish bar on the spot, but a sale " to arrive" has had effect at previous quota tions. Sweedish steel uninquired for. Pig and sheet lead are in slight inquiry. Tin plates are steady, and speller dull. Cochineal—We have not heard of any salts, but the price has somewhat improved. Stocks still continue very heavy. Saffron—We hear of a sale of 775 lb. at 12i per lb. The better quality is in tolerably good inquiry. Woollens—The only sale reported is one of 3,312 yards flannel, at Ba. per yard. Beer—Allsopp's continues steady at 80r. per hhd., and is very scarce. Of Bass's about 100 hhds. have been disposed of, at 75r. per hhd. Spirits—Very little doing. The only sales effected have been in brandy, as follows:-90 hogsheads, at 2r. 5a.; 100 at 2r. 6a. pe r gallon: and 1,000 dczen cases, at 7r. per dozen. Marine Stores—No sales.

Cotton Wool—The in masses amount t) 5,950 bales and 2,675 candies, chic fly for the English market, at a considerable reduction on the former extravagantly high rates, dealers having been induced to accept f much lower prices owing to the large supplies daily coming to market, and the last advices from England giving a com paratively unfavourable account of the home markets f,r the staple. The exports during the present year to Eng land and China have been respectively about one-eighth larger, and one-fourth smaller than during 1849. Opium—About 800 chests of the drug will bet taken on to China by the steamer starting fur Hong-Kong on the 19th. At the date of our last the price of opium was 1,250 r. per chest.

Freights—The rates of the day are 2/. 12s. 6d. to 2/. 15s. to Liverpool; to London, 21. 12s. 6d. per ton; and to China, Sr. to 9r. per candy. These rates have been ruling during the past two days, being a consider able improvement on those obtainable a week back, s veral thousands of baits of cotton having then been shipped for both London and Liverpool 'at 21 10. There are now six vessels on the berth for London and 10 for Liverpool. Exchange—The rates of the day are—six months' sight, 2s. lid.; and 60 days' sight, 2s. ojd., with a ten dency to rise still higher, as the market is abundantly supplied with first class paper. The transactions for the present mail have been to a limited extent. CANTON MARKET, SEPT. 26. IMPORTS.

The deceased inherited the title on the demise of his father in 1815. DEATH OF MR. RAPHAEL, M.P. FOR ST. ALBANS. —We have to record the demise of this gentleman, whq ex pired on the 17th inst. at Surbiton-place, Surrey, aged 75. Mr. Raphael was a Whig in politics, and was returned for St. Albans on the last general election by a large majority. By religion he was a Catholic, and was a munificent sup porter of the Romish Church, to whose ministers within the last few years he, it is said, presented for building purposes the sum of 100,0001. The deceased was very wealthy. Mr. Rap i h a a y e o l , was who t onlyh o e pposed ß t o h m e a j n e w C i a s h t h c o l l a i i c m itl. e. P., s save y M e r. of ara M s oo in re ce , he was returned for the county of Carlow, in conjunction with the late Mr. Vigors, but was unseated by petition. The alleged misappropriation of the sum of 2,0001. by the late Mr. O'Connell, in connexion with the return, gave rise to a pro. tracted inquiry. The deceased was of Armenian extraction. He possessed property in Sussex, Surrey, and other Engliah counties, and was the builder of the new town of Surtilten, on the S outh-Western MISS KAVANAGH'S NEI!" NOVEL, "NATHALIE."-- In its notice of this charming work, the Athenaeum says-- 4. Nathalie' is the love story of a wayward lead. The tale is by much Lliss Kavanagh's best, as it is her longest, ima ginative effort. Its manner is gracious and attractive; its matter is good. A sentiment, a tenderness, are commanded by her which are as individual as they are elegant. We should not soon come to an end were we to specify all the delicate touches, and attractive pictures which place Nathan& high among books of its class." In extracting a specimen of Miss Kavanagh's descriptive powers, the:re viewer even declares it is one "to which neither Chateaubramd n n a o t r u De s, L, amar tine need have disdained to eflix their sig.

DiTatches, letters, and papers, in anticipation o the Overland mail have arrived. The dates are — Calcutta, Oct. 8 ; Madras, Oct. 12 ; Bombay, Oct 17; and China, Sept. 28. (From the Overland Bombay Times, Oct. 17.) SUMMARY.—Another newslese fortnight forms sub ject of complaint to the newspapers, and congratula tion to the people. From the Ist to the 10:h of Octo ber, thunder storms were experienced in Western India, and stormy weather seems to have prevailed all over the country from Ceylon to the extreme north- west frontier. The Governor- General and suite leave Simla on the Ist November, and proceed via Roopur, Hooshearpore, Pathunkote, and Deena nuggur, to Lahore, and after a halt there of three weeks, to Peshawur by the usual route. Heavy rain had latterly somewhat interfered with the com forts of the noble party at Cheni, but they continued in excellent health. It is reported to he intended to fortify, arm, and garrison the principal strongholds in the Punjaub, with a view, we presume, of diminishing the number of troops at present deemed requisite for its safety. The state of the Kohat frontier is still matter of much concern, and it seems an open question whether it might not be more wise to leave this part of our posessions to the charge of the tribes themselves than to maintain it at the pre sent charge and risk. Sir C. Napier is understood to have recommended that we should subsidise the tribes, and the gallant chief is the last man to recom mend the purchase of peace could it be obtained on any other terms. A scientific survey of the Salt Range has been ordered by the Governor-General. Mr. Pardon, who is to have charge, is ordered to be in Lahore by the Ist of November. Lieutenant Robertson has been ordered to commence a scientific survey of our frontier bordering Jamoo instead of the Ravee. Government have engaged the services of Mr. Murdock as engineer in the in-ward at Roor kee. The Government of Bengal have resolved to levy a toll on the Grand Trunk-road ; no thing could be more wise than to extend the means of intercourse in all directions, making the people pay for the roads some trifling fraction of what they directly gained by them. It is a most serious misfortune in India that Government is looked to for everything; the people will do nothing for themselves, and the country, which might so easily be so greatly improved, is left alone. Government will not venture to tax the people for their own ad vantage, and are unwilling to trust to the ordinary means of recompense for requital. Tremendous rain occurred near Midnapore in the end of September, 13 inches having fallen betwixt the 22d and 27th. This is nothing to what occurred at Rejkote on the 27th July, when 27 inches of rain fell in 24 hours -33 in two days. The heaviest fall known at Bombay was on July 25, 1840, when 13 inches fell in 24 hours. The country around Purneah has been so flooded that the destruction of the rice crop was apprehended. The coal in Upper Assam is at present being exten sively worked by a Calcutta copartnery. The chief objection in the way is the difficulty of navigat ing the Berhampooter, and the expense in con sequence of bringing the mineral to market. The Maharajah Dhulleep Singh has bad a residence assigned to him at Futtyghur ; he is under the supervision of Colonel Goodwyn. The Maharajah Goulab Singh, of Jamoo, has sent a collection of shawls, and other articles of Cashmere manu facture, to Lahore, for the great London Exhibition of 1851. They are valued in all at 10,0001, and are bestowed in tree gift on the trustees. The contribu tions of the other Hill Chiefs around are numerous and costly ; amongst them is a suit of steel armour inlaid with gold, from the Raja of Naba. Amongst other things are models of weapons and implements such as ought to be interesting. Nanuck Shahaie rupees to the value of 320,0001. are now on their way from Lahore to be re-coined at Bombay into Com pany's rupees. One of the parties condemned for murder at the late Criminal Sessions was executed on the 11th; the other criminal was reprieved, and will, it is supposed, be pardoned, from the questionable nature of the evidence against him, and the fact of the man who was executed having distinctly declared the day before his death that he was not present in the house at the time the murder was committed. A ser geant of the Bengal artillery, by name M'Keuun, has been convicted at Bireilly of the murder of his wife; be ran her through with a sword while under the influence of opium. Severe sickness has of late been prevalent at Hansi and the country around. There were in the end of September 300 of the .Hurrianah Light In fantry and 180 of the 11th irregular Cavalry in hos pital, with scarcely a man of either corps at the station fit for work. The rain, which had begun to fall in quantities on the 28th ult., would, it was hoped, improve matters. Cholera had been raging around Agra, and home fatal cases had occurred in the city. The foundation-stone of a new church on the Mount-road, Madras, was laid by the bishop on the sth instant. The Great Indian Peninsula Railway has advertised for contrac's for the em bankment across Sion Marsh, six miles from Bom bay ; it is about half a mile long, and is the prin cipal Work on the line. Major Kennedy, private secretary to Sir C. Napier, has been appointed consulting railway engineer to the Bengal Govern ment, in room of Mr Simms, returned to Europe, on a salary of 2,500r5. a month, or 3,0001. a year- The French frigate Poursuivante having completed her repairs went out of dock on the 6th instant. Her stay amongst us is said to be dependent on instruc tions expected by next mail from France. A splendid entertainment was given to the admiral and officers of the Byculla Club on the 4th. The ball, which took place at the club last night, is understood to have been mainly got up on their account. They visit the Caves of Elephanta on Saturday under the auspices of Commander Jenkins, gunnery instructor; a splendid entertainment awaits them in the caves. They have expressed themselves much gratified by the attention bestowed upon them while among us. Mr. J. S. de Vitre, deputy collector of customs, died at the presi dency on the morning of Saturday last. A large body of the merchants and others of Bombay have memo rialised the Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury to extend the mail communication to the most northern ports in China at present opened to fo reign co mmerce—namely, Shanghae and the other ports on the north-eastern coast. CHINA. The intelligence respecting the rebellion in China is, to say the least, vague and i mper f ect. W e g ive below, from the, Ch i na Mail, a s k etc h o f i ts su pposed origin. We extract the following summary of news from the Hon-Kong Overland Register : The past month has not been prolific of any in cidents of moment, and little is left us to state in a summary. The general health of the troops in the garrison has improved, and mortality has not been so rife as it was in the two preceding months. The sick of the 59th, removed on board ship, rapidly recovered, and the sick list daily continues to diminish. We should trust that during succeeding seasons, proper.precau tionary measures being adopted at a proper time, we shall not have cause to comment on and l a ment over the fearful mortality which has bee n witnessed in the garrison this season. The French ship Albert, with Coolies from Cum singmoon to Callao, came into this harbour yester day, the Coolies having risen and murdered the cap tain and others; a detailed account will be found below. A serious mutiny occurred on board the Kelso, on her passage from California to this port. The movements of a rebellious body of men from the province of Kwang-si has created some excite ment among the Chinese in Canton. Very correct accounts of slofotffihecierrsdooifndgisstainndctiionnte, having been led intontions are not readily obtainable. It i s sa id th a t som e of the Imperia l troops an ambuscade, were all captured.

(From the Overland Friend of China, Sept. 28.) The Chinese autumnal and other festivals have been celebrated in the colony this year with more than usual splendour. The overland mails arrived on the 10th instant.
