We are now anxiously looking for further accounts, and hope the Bentinck (now• hourly expected) will bring fresh purchasers into the market to support the prices which have been established. The shipments on French account already amount to 25,308 fy. mds. and about 1,000 chests are in course of shipment, making a total of 26,603 fy. Inds., so that we may consider the purchases for that country to be nearly completed, as (considering the pre sent state of things) we do not suppose they will take oft more than last year. The Americana have acted with great caution, and we do not think their purchases up to this time exceed 1,000 chests. The Moguls have also bought very sparingly, for, as we before stated, their last year's exports will suffice for two years' consumption, and we think in putting them down for 1,000 chests we give the full extent of their purchases this season; so that there remains for shipment to Great Britain only 28,000 chests, of which 14,540 tat ° T or, on re PRICE sd. r Wa n jr elO rei° THE SUN is Published EVERY MORNING at FIVE 0 CLOCK, i n Ti me f o r the EARLY TRAINS and TOWN DELIVERY ; a SECOND EDITION (Even:ng Sun) is Published in Time for the AFTERNOON TRAINS, and a THIRD EDITION at SEVEN O'CLOCW, for POST, containing PARLIAMENTARY and all other NEWS in LONDON up to that Hour.

SONGS. - _ We regret to say that. in consequence of some accident—most I,kely death—our messenger has not brought the usual half monthly intelligence from Peshawur as well as Caubul, so that we cannot give any late authentic news from that quarter. Rumours there are plenty, but we place, for the reasons already given, little or no faith in anything that does not come from the spot. One of them, which has already found its way to Calcutta, is that Mahomed Akbar Khan was actually in possession of Peshawur. The insurrection in the valley of Kaslimere, or more properly speaking in the west, amongst the Mussulnaan population at Mo. zuflltrabad, and elsewhere, has been checked, to a certain extent, by the exertions of Raja Goolab Singh, made before the breaking out of the late intrigues ; but whether effectual:y or not we have not the means of saying at present. n and 3. been obtained from the Governor-General to have the frontier tranquillised; the 2d Bengal Europeans and Bundelkund Legion were close at hand ; the former arriving on the 14th, the litter on the 16th, so as to release from garrison duty a considerable body of troops. Sir C. Napier having. while at Sukkur, visited Meer Ali Moored and made all fitting arrangements, act off on the 13th for Shikarpore, the guns and battering train having preceded him. He was followed on the 15th by General Hunter; the total force or. dered on the expedition amounting to 2,440 infantry, 1,600 cavalry, with horse artillery, mortars, howitzers, mountain trAn, and camel corps, amounting in all to probably not much under 5,000 men. They were directed to push right across the desert. General Hunter. in command of the infantry, was for a time to take up his headquarters at Khangur, forty miles from Sinker. pore. The whole were then to force click way into the Boogtie mountains, and to attack the robber tribes in their fastnesses—fast.. nesses to us rendered memorable by the events at Deyrah, Kahun, Nufoosk, and Surtoe. in 1840. We have no direct intelligence from the expedition, but observe it stated that Captain Jaceb had sur prised one part of the enemy, capturing sixty prisoners, and cutting up the rest. Captain Slater is said to have intercepted another on their return to the mountains with a drove of 6,000 cattle col. lected in the plains. The robbers were dispersed and the plunder recovered. Sir Charles himself :s reported to have reached Deyrah, the scene of Major Billamae's adventures just before the occupation of Kahun; and that his nephew, Captain Napier, had had a narrow escape of becoming prisoner. We shall wait with much anxiety the results of this very wild and ill.consideted looking expedition. The condition of the fronti^r demanding it is exactly what we two years since anticipated. We may exterminate some hundreds of the robbers, but abundance will escape to annoy us ; and it will not be within the present or the five next generations that the caterans of the Italia and Suliman mountains will be weaned from the prac tices which have existed amongst them for twenty centuries before, tempted by the rich booty a British camp supplies, and exasperated by its uries inflicted on their kinsmen by the swords of the stranger. Amongst the ferocious mountaineers robbery is a trade, the practice of murder matter of business, and revenge in its strictest sense a virtue. Before crossing the frontier the Governor of Sinde issued a manifesto explanatory of his designs. In this he taunts the Khan of Khelat with his inability to keephis subjects in order ; the paper blsming the Sovereign being addressed to the subjects, the robber tribe. about to be coerced owning allegiance to no one saving their own chief, paying no tribute, and permitting no interference with their affairs. 3 tatready gone forward.

After trying several very eminent aurists, from whom I de rived scarcely any relief, I was induced at the solicitation of a friend to try your excellent Eye Snuff'. I accordingly procured one of your 4s. 4d. canisters, after taking which I found considerable benefit, so much so that I sent for two more, which having used, I found my hearing completely restored, and I have act been deaf since. I should mention that the time I commenced taking your Eye Snuff was in April last, and have continued taking it since.—l am, Slr, your obe dient servant, W. 11. ADAMS. To Mr. W. Grimstone.

One personal 'visit is only M owry to effect A permute% cum The news altogether is satisfactory. In the interior of India, tranquillity prevails with the exception of a skirmish ing warfare between the British and the chiefs of Kolapore, Sawunt Warree, and the Northern Concan. Several collisions had taken place, in one of which, in the month of Jarmary, the following officers were killed :—Captain Taynton, of the Bth Madras Native Infantry, and Lieutenant Campbell and Ensign Faure,of the 2d Bombay European—and seren others wounded. There are four corps of British troops employed in this service under General Delamotte; Lieutenant Colonel Williams, Madras army; Lieutenant-Colonel Carruthers, of her Majesty's 2d Regiment ; and Colonel Outram. The fighting is reduced almost to single shots in the jungles, for the rebels refuse to show themselves in large bodies in any place where they can be attacked. Colonel Outram was en gaged in scouring the country. The accounts in general represent this as a very paltry and contemptible warfare. The accounts from Sinde are very favourable on the whole, though we regret to learn that sickness still prevailed to a great extent in the 78th Regiment. It had at last been removed from Sukkur to Hyderabad, but in a very feeble state. The rest of the troops were healthy. The whole of the country is perfectly tranquil and satisfied with British rule. Some of the neighbouring tribes, how. ever, infest the frontiers, and Sir Charles Napier had left Kurrachee to chastise them. lle had published a manifesto in reference to the disturbances, which will be found below After leaving Kurrachee Sir Charles proceeded by Hydera. bad to Larkhana and Sukkur, leaving the troops behind him at Larkhana, to avoid the pestilential air of the Indus. He remained some ten days at Sukkur, until the approach of the Bengal 2d European Regiment and Bundelkund Legion' to relieve the troops about to be detached. .The artillery having been dispatched before him, he proceeded on the 13th to Shikarpore, and was followed by 1,600 ca valry, regular and irregular, and 2,400 infantry, under the command of Major-General Hunter, who was directed to make his head-quarters at Kunghur, on the further side of the desert. The object is to chastise the Doomkie, Jakranee, and Boogtie tribes, to which belong the robber bands which have infested our frontier throughout the hot season. The results of the expedition are looked to with interest. The Delhi papers, and others, give particulars of the revolution which had taken place at Lahore, but they possess little interest. A boy bad been placed on the throne, to be deposed or murdered as soon as some chief, who can command the services of a mercenary army, marches against him. In fact the army completely controls the Government, and seta up whatever idol for the moment pleases its fancy. Accounts from Delhi state that Sir Henry Hardinge was expected in the north west provinces in May. The British troops along the line o the Punjaub were kept in constant activity by drilling and reviews, and preparations are evidently in progress to watch, and perhaps control, events in a country so intimately con nected with the British possessions in India. Railway schemes were in operation both at Calcutta and Bombay, and it is extremely probable that in a short time some of them will be carried into effect. Sir Henry Hardinge remained at Calcutta, where Sir Robert Sale,with Lady Sale, had arrived by the Hindostan. The accounts from Hong Kong, which are to the 19th of December, are favourable. The Chinese inhabitants had become accustomed to the new Government, and were peaceably engaged in their usual labours. (From the Bombay Times.) The troubles of the Kolapore and Sawunt Warree country, and the formidable robberies in the Northern Concan, continue almost un. abated, in defiance of the efforte of an army of 12,000 men, scattered in detachments above and below the ghaute. Various forts and villages have been taken—detachments have been parted from each other, united, and parted again; yet subordination can scarcely be maintained beyond gunshot from our pickets. Colonel Outram has obtained command of a light irregular detachment, and is scouting the jungle in all directions, attacking forts, and taking possession of them when evacuated by the enemy The roads, nevertheless, continue blocked up, and general intercourse Interrupted. Three officers in the course of the month have fallen _Captain Taynton, of the Bth M. N. I ; and Lieutenant Camp. bell, and Ensign Faure, 2d European L. I.; seven others have been wounded—Lieutenants Tyacke, Thompson, Munbee, Gardiner, and Peyton, and Captains Kelso and Jacob, Colonel Ovens has retired from the Satter* residency, and is now in Bombay. Mr. Reeves has been restored to the political charge of the southern Mahratta country. General Napier, with five th ousan d men, h as starte d w i t h an expe. diti a force onacross af eathwedrclayert, from Shikarpore, to chastise the Doomkie robbers, who, for the past ten months, have infested our frontier. The country generally continues quiet. The temperature at pre sent is moderate and agreeable. Large supplies of pontoons and tat-bottomed boats have recently been forwarded from Bombay for service on the Indus. A fresh revolution has occurred at Lahore. Heera Singh the vuzeer, his chief adviser Pundit Jella, with two other Birders of note, have been slain. Property to the amount of 40,000/., chiefly in gold and silver, was found in the house of the deceased minister, and was confiscated and made over to the public treasury. The entire power is in tke hands of the troops, who pull down and set up governments at pleasure. The latest of the governments was working tranquilly and with effect, and it is now universally admitted that nothing short of the violation of our fron tier—an incident not likely to oecur—will induce the Governor. General to interfere. The troubles in Kashmere seem on the in crease. There is little news of interest from beyond the passes. Affghanlstan appears as tranquil, and its chiefs as authoritative, as during the most peaceful portion of its history. The Runnymede and Briton transports, the one from Australia and the other from England, with troops for Calcutta, hare made their appearance after having for a long white been missing. They were believed to have gone down at sea, but turned out to have been wrecked side by side on the Andaman Islands, in the Bay of Bengal —no lives lost. We have intelligence from China to the 18th December; it Is of comparatively little interest. With the exceptions mentioned above, India generally is tears quil. Some apprehensions of drought are entertained from the de fective fall of rain during the two past wet seasons. Sir H. Har. diege continues at Calcusta quietly conducting the amslrs of Go vernment, and using every effort for the Improvement of the country. SINDE. We have, since our last, received letters of the 25th from Kur. rachee, of the 20th from Hyderabad, and of the 18th from Sukkur. From the seacoast the tidings are of little interest; Kurrachee continued healthy and pleasant; the improvement of the canton. meta, and advancement of horticulture, proceeding apace. The sews from Hyderabad refers chiefly to the continued sickness of her Majesty's 78th Highlanders. The regiment, having been detained in Sinde till not a man remained who had not been in hospital, let for Hyderabad about Christmas, in hopes of restoration from change of air. The same fatal mismanagement which has attended all their movements, seemed destined to afflict them to the end. The boats provided for their accommodation were iusufficient In number, and inadequately fitted up. The men were crushed so together that the heat and stench throughout the day were insufferable, while their sufferings from an opposite cause—the chilling river air—were quite as severe at night as during the day. The first wing reached Hyderabad on the 31st ; every preparation had been made ler their the whole medic a l f orce were i n readi psedeeithioenlp;s of every kind t o ass i st the poor fe ll ows reeeption : extra hospitals had been fitted up by the engineers with equal n ess care wi th and bearerse to their quarters—and they sorely needed them all.

The second wing was still more unfor tunate than the first ; it lost the frightful number of 90 men Op to share the European barracks ' the voyage down the river. The loss of the whole regiment be- ' sent there a few months back to recruit. tween the Ist Decembermaenndinth3e4 ( 5 1 1 3 h 8. January amounted to no to prove . detrimental to both regiments.

The Khan of Khe!at having been requested to assist us in punishing the robbers who had infested our outposts, came does., from his moun tain capital with 2,000 men, but found himself unable to effect anythe g of importance, and having suffered several re. verses, found himself compelled to ret reat. A vakeel was sent out to urge an Interview between him and the General, but this he peremptorily declined; Captain Brown, Sir C. Napier's private secretary, was next deputed, but with equal want of success , to obtain in writing the reasons of the aversion of his Highn ess to meet the General ; and to con ewe measures f or th e coercion er punishment of the freebooters. The deputy was on his return very nearly made prisoner; 300 of the enemy's cavalry having made a dash over a b out e i g h ty m il es o f country, in the hope : amain him. Instructions had meanwhile MANIFESTO. " Being about to cross the Sinde frontier at the head of a strong body of troops, I think it right to state to the neighbouring tribes why I thus Invade the territory of our friend the Khan of Khelat, in order that those tribes may be satisfied as to the cause of my movements, and that they may not think the said move. ments arise from 4desire of acquiring territory or molesting allies. " His Highness the Khan of Khelat has given me permission to enter his territories, and, had he nut chine so, I must still have In. vaded them for the protection of our own subjects. " These territories are occupied, as regards our immediate fron tier, by three powerful sod predacious tribes, the Doomkies, the Jakraneee, and the Boogties ; there are also some others of inferior note. These tribes are in open rebellion against their sovereign, the Khan of Khelat. "During the whole of last summer they were excited by their desire of pillage to make, without the slightest pretext, frequent predatory inroads on the Sinde territory, plundering ♦illages, murdering many of the inhabitants, and devastating the country. In several instances they were engaged with our outposts; and on one occasion, falling upon 200 unarmed and unoffending grass cutters, they massacred nearly the whole of them, together with an officer's party of cavalry, who were guarding these poor people, and whom the robbers surprised. Many villages on our frontier were left desolate, the inhabitants of which, abandoning their crops, Bed further into the interior of Sinde, calling aloud upon me, as governor of the province, to give them protection. " On my part, I applied to their sovereign, the Khan of Khelat, to control his subjects. He promised to do this; but they were not controlled. " I believe his Highness the Khan has the most friendly inten tions with regard to the British Government, but it was evident that the arch robber and rebel Beejar Kban roomkie was too powerful in arms So be reduced to obedience by his Prince. So true is this, that he openly bestowed, in Jaghire, large tracts of his sovereign's territory, and to which the latter was constrained to submit. " I was, therefore, obliged to reinforce nur outposts against this unexpected and unprovoked enemy ; and on one occasion our troops wholly failed in an attack made upon Beejar Khan. This was at the period of the year whea the heat was so very great as to be insupportable to human beings exposed to the mid day stn. " My orders to the frontier posts were then issued to remain upon the defensive during the hot weather. These orders, toge ther with the success of Beejar Khan, rendered the rebel tribes more daring. They frequently entered the Sindian frontier in search of plunder, and were on one or two occasions attacked on our own territory, and defeated by the troops, the police, and the villagers themselves, who several times turned out to aid the troops "It must be evident to every one that such a state of things could not be suffered by any regular Government, and I was directed by the Govecnor.General of India to take such steps as were necessary to tranquillise the frostier and protect the people of Sinde. " I have here to remark, that the ex.Ameer Shere Mal osnmed had located himselt among those robbers, and excited them to plunder Sinde. He was also in hopes of exciting an imurreetion in his favour. But the chiefs of Sinde had no desire for his re turn : still less would the people of Sinde assist him, conscious of having a degree of protection under the British Government which they never experienced under that of the Ameors The Ameer consequently gave over his attempt and retired to the Se;kh territory. " Such was the state of things on the frontier when the cold season arrived; and in consequence of the solicitations made by me to the Khan of Khelat, his Highness made a feeble effort against his rebel subjects; he advanced from Dadur to Poolajte. " It is evident that the rebels well knew the danger they would Incur were they to meet their Prince on the plain, where he could be assisted at any moment by the British, and each day's march brought him nearer to our chain of outposts. The strength of the rebels lay in the Boogtie mountains; and to the mountains they of course retired. " Among these celebrated defiles and passes the Khan dared not pursue them. The amount of his forces did not exceed 2,000 men, and even these were by no means under his command. An immediate retreat was dec,ded upon by his Highness. " While this Prince was at Poolajee, I sent a vakeel to beg that he would allow me to have a conference with him either at Poo_ lejee, at Darfur, at thigh, at Gundava, or any other place his Highness chose to appoint. His answer was a refusal, for reasons which I cannot make public without doing his Highness au injury. " My caked therefore returned; but I felt that it was trete.- &try to have in writing his Highness's formal acknowledgment of his inability to control his subjects, the Doomkles, Jakranees, and Boogties, and kis desire that I would punish their rebellion and their murderous inroads upon the Sinde territory. " It was also necessary that I should have his Highness's rca. sons in writing for not meeting me. I therefore dispatched Mr. Brown, the Secretary to the Sinde Government, who is a personal friend of the Khan, and possessing my highest confidence, in hopes some arrangement might be made for an united exertion ten repress these mountaitt robbers, but in vain. The state of the Khan's territories beyond the L'olan Pass rendered him unable to attend to the affairs of Cutchee ; and he appeared to hold nothing but a nominal; sovereignty over that rich tract of country of which Bagh is the centre_ " On Mr. Brown's return from Bagh, so daring were the robber tribes, that he was nearly taken (and to be taken by them is syno nymous with being murdered) by 300 cavalry belonging to the rebels, who had pushed about 80 miles from their haunts for the express purpose of waylaying Mr. Brown. The course to be pur. sued by me has now become clear and decisive. " It is to enter the I3oogtie mountains and attack these robber tribes in their fastnesses. They are the Pindarrees of the Indus. " As Mr. Brown rode through the villages, he found them miserable. I will use the words of his report to me The route I pursued through Cutchee was by Kunda, Kassim Ka Joke, and Bagh, which line I remember in former years to be richly culti. 'uteri. It is now a desert ; I did not meet with an acre of cultiva tion in Cutchee; the condition of the people is mast miserable. They have no security for their property; villages are daily plun dered by the hill robbers. I heard many villagers (some of whom wore wounded) declare that, if not protected, they would Sy the country and come to Sinde.' " It is certainly not my duty to protect these poor people—the inhabitants of Cutchee. But it is my duty to protect the inhabi. tants of Sinde, and, therefore, I shall march on the I fish of January, beyond the frontier, at the head of a strong force, accempanied by the Sndian chiefs Wully Mahomed Chandeeah, Ahurncd Khan Mugsey, and many others, at the head of several thou , and of their followers, all determined to revenge their plundered villages upon the mountain tribes. I shall also ere assisted by his Highness Alley Moorad Talpoor, who will march against the enemy, by whom his frontier has also been molested. " It is no small satisfaction to me, that I find the Sindian chiefs, who but two years ago stood opivosed to us in battle in Mecance, now eager to draw the sward and tight under the British colours. It leaves no equivocal proof of their contentment with the Govern ment of Snide. " What the result of these operations may be, it is impossible for me to say ; but I hops it will be such as permanently to secure the tranquillity of the Sindian frontier, and enable our ally, the Khan of Khelat, to ri'cover the ru-te of his country •rom these robbers. But with this last I have nothing to do ; the moment I have punished the robbers I shall retire within our own frontier, satisfied that I have performed my duty to the East India Company, to the people of Snide, and to humanity. " C. J. NA VIER, M.G , Governor of Sinde." A smart shock of earthquake was telt at Alexandria early on the morning of the 21st ult.—a very unusual thing in Egypt. AFFGHANISTAN. Our last letter, with news to the 47th November, made no further mention of the plague, from which we may safely infer that its ravages have been stayed, at least in Caubul, though it is still prevalent to some extent in the valley of Peshawur. The Ameer Dost Mahorred Khan, although still at Caubul, at the time our last letters came away, was making preparations connected with a declared intention of spending the winter at Jellalabad. Ile was somewhat alarmed by the sudden appearance at his capital of a consider able armeal party, who turned out to be refugees from ?dooltam, whence they have gone voluntarily to Caubul, in con. sequence of the ill-treatment they had received at the hands of the new Governor, Dewan Moolraj. They soon conci;iated the Amt er, by assuring him of their pacific intention, and were received into his service, and even assigned apartments in the Palace of Bala Hisser. The only item of intelligence we have from Bokhara is, that the gentleman supposed to be an officer of the Bombay army, which supposition has, however, been greatly weakened of late, had re fused to accompany Dr. Wolff, when he quitted Toorkistan, de daring himself a Ilajee, and determined to remain with the faith. tut. The snows, nh ich are said to have been unutually heavy this year in the hilly country about Caubul, and in the north and west, have put a stop to the petty warfare which was going on between Khoolloom and the Ameer, and to the trade across the Hindoo }Cosh. The party which came from Moottam is reported to have suffered severely from the cold when crossing the mountains. The :. , irdars of Candahar have, we are told, been quittelling among themselves, and it was said that their disputes ran so high at one time that they actually decided on dividing their territory into shares, so as to prevent the intervention of the one in the afrOrs of the other, but the chiefs rimonstrated, and on represent ing the e, it consequences of such a step, the plan was abandoned. We have nothing to report from the western caitital of Atflia. nistan, whore the inftmous scoundrel Yar Mallow,' Khan con. ttates arsiurid Ilium to hold own by intrigues with all the him Our letters from Lahore are to the 13th inst., and descriptive of the great anxiety experienced by the Siekh soldiery regarding the movements and intentions of the British authorities. The Raja of Chumpa was instructed by an urgent purwannah on the 11th inst., to send 4 000 men to guard the different ghauts on the Sut. lej within his territory, and on no account to intermit the duties intrusted to him; and four battalions were also ordered off on the same illy to the Hurrcke Ghaut. The distribution of the promised golden necklaces were progressing rapidly, as the soldiery had shown unequivocal symptoms of being determined not to be trifled with on this point. The affairs on the northern line of the plains arc anything but satisfactory. Sirdar Runjo3r Singh had an en gagement with the troops of Meean Juwahir Singh, brother of the late minister, but it is not ascertained with what immediate suc cess, though a rumour prevailed that he was victorious. Prince Peshora Singh was actually on his way to Seealkot, and while in progress made bold to seize eighteen hems of one of the studs of Heerst Singh, a measure which met with no discouragement at the hands of the Ranee, when reported to her. The desertion from the battalions first tent on service towards Jesrowta have been so numerous, that mere skeletons of them are loft, but others more recently dispatched have been less inclined to go to their homes, as they have a prospect of plunder, and have earnestly set to work to besiege Jesrowta. The garrison are making a stout defence. The troops which were sent to Kashmere are said to have at length reached Moauffurabad, but they had no saoner heard of the death of the Minister and of Pundit Jena, than they commenced disturbances, beating a num. ber of their officers, and turning them out of camp. General Goolab Singh, Provindeea, was, however, doing his best to restore order. The same results occurred, it is averred, on the news be. coming known In the camps at Peshawur and in Bannoo Tank. The utmost license continues amongst the troops; thousands of them flock daily in the town, and even into the pa ace, where they behave in the most unruly manner, evincing no respect for the royal presence itself. The letters of the Siekh vakeels on this side the Sutlej seem to have caused the alarm about the reported in. vasion. They wrote to say that the Commander.in.Chief had given the most positive orders for all the troops at Umballah and the neighbouring stations to be prepared for immediate service. The order for the move of the 38th Light Infantry is probably the origin of this information. NORTH-WEST FRONTIER. To turn from the state of the Punjaub to the consequent move. ments on our frontier, we have further to record that the Clover. nor-General seems very properly determined to be prepared for any emergency which may possibly occur on the frontier, by the reten tion in the Sirhind and Meerut divisions of some of the regiments which had been previously ordered to march downwards, and the addition of one regiment to their present strength, which is very great. The 31st Foot, which was under orders to march to Cawn oor on being relieved by the 62d, has been directed to remain at Umballah, and the 62d will, in all probability, proceed on to Ferozepoor. The 9th Light Cavalry, which was to go to Sultan. poor Benares, has been ordered to go no further than Meerut, and the 38th Light Infantry marched yesterday ftom Meerut to Kur. nal, to take the duties of the Commander-in-Chief's stamp, as his Excellency, instead of proceeding to Meerut, as some time since anticipated, remains In the neighbourhood of Umballah, and hat, it is said, been joined by the Lieut.-Governor of the North. Western Provinces, at the express desire of the Governor-General, with the view of affording Sir Hugh Gough the benefit of his experience and advice in the present critical posture of affairs. General Gil bert has succeeded General Fast in the command of the Sirhind division, and Major-General Sir J. H. Diller has been specially appointee( to the command of the troops at Ferozepore and Loodianali. MUSCAT. Letters of the 16th of December have been received from Mus cat. The Imaum, being desirous of getting possession of a town called Sewee, had sent to Zanzibar for between 1,000 and 2,000 Bedouins to assist him in its capture. The inhabitants had offered him tribute if he would only let the town alone. This he declined; he wished to obtain it in permanent and entire possession, and, having been baffled in his first attempt, bad summoned foreign aid to his assistance. The son of the Imaum was about to start in a corvette for Bunder Abbas. About the beginning of December it had rained four days at Muscat, and a considerable fall had also been experienced in the Gulf. The news had been brought by her Majesty's ship Serpent, which arrived on the 13th from Bushirt, and sailed for Aden on the 16th, having visited, as she came over, varisus parts of the Arabian coast. Ruhim 'ha Aslem's son.in law had been appointed British agent at Muscat. The brig Pali. nurua had made a good run of fourteen days across, and was ac. tively engaged in preparations for the survey. KOLAPORE AND SAWUNT WARREE. We have received tidings of the 27th ult., being a month later than those formerly sent home, from various portions of the dis turbed country ; and though the success of the troops has in the main been uniform, and their conduct invariably excellent, we regret to say the insurrection continues apparently as far as ever from being subdued. The war in which we are engaged is a paltry and an ingloricus one, and it Is eminently harassing and unpopular. It was not commenced voluntarily, nor, probably, av , th much idea of long continuance, and its objects were just and honourable, without view to .he gratification of avarice or ambi tion. The troops under General Delamotte and Colonel Wallace, having advanced in separate detachments to the edge of the table land, remained in the end of December posted on the verge of the mountain range which separates the plains of Kolapore from the low country towards the sea. After describing various skirmishes of little interest the writer in the Bitllbay Times, whose opinions and assertions should be received with caution, thus concludes his narrative:—The Kirya ttee Pass, where we had on a former oc casion suffered so severely, leading from Sussadroog, was still its possession of the enemy. Its occupation by our troops having been con idered matter of much importance, a party of two hundred Europeans and one hundred native►, with one nine. pounder, under command of Major George, of her Ma jesty's 22d, were ordered to advance against it on the ISth. They were warmly met by the enemy ensconced behind the stockades, and, after a few volleys, felt back, the insurgents following closely in their rear. Colonel Caruthers meanwhile attacked the pass on the 10th from below, and the enemy were speedily driven from all their stockades; 8 of them were killed and 30 taken prisoners. On the 21st Munohur was closely invested, and this fort, which was filled with insurgents, to. gether with that of Musentosh, were expected to fall into the hands of Colonel Outrasn's detachment. On one of those occasions Cap tain Taylitori, of the Bth M. N. 1., had been picked off; he was a gallant officer, and is said shortly before to have killed nine of the insurgents with his own hand. He was in revenge particularly marked out for destruction. lie is the third officer who has in the course of the month been cut off—the seventh who has fallen since the commencement of the insurrection. On the 25th an attempt was made to take the fort by escalade ; this proved unsuccessful. On this occasion Captains Munbee and Jacob, and Lleuts. Gar diner and Peyton were wounded; but none of them severely. The insurgents who had sought rellige in the fort, finding the position untenable, abandoned it after the first attack ; and on the 27th we took possession without resistance. This is one of the last of their fortified strongholCs ; but their real strength lies in the jungles, from which it is next to impossible to drive them. It is proposed to fire the brushwood covers so soon as the advancing season will permit. The roads are everywhere obstructed, and no man, or party of men, can proceed, without the certainty of being tired at from the jungles. Colonel Outram is sweeping over the country, as of yore, spreading the terror of his name, and diffusing the feeling of universal insecurity, but effecting little more. In these trackless and unmeasured jungles, it is impossible to seethe enemy, however near—still more so to fellow him. Shots are fired at us, travellers arc robbed, and hamlets destroyed, before our eyes ; the perpetrators of these things elude us as we approach. While a desultory, harassing, and unimpressive war was thus raging on every side, in the ravines, and In the low country at the bottom at the mountains, a state of comparative tranquillity had settled down at Kolapore, the centre and the source of original disaffection. This state of listlessness and inactivity was, on the 20th, interrupted by the appearance, 'within twenty miles of the capital, of a body of some 1,500 insurgents, tinder a noted malcontent chief, Lall Geer Gosain. On the '2lst, Captain Western, with a troop of her Majesty's 14th Dragoon, and Cap tain Clarke, with a company of Grenadiers and 40 Irregulas Horse, was laid on the track of the marauders ; and on the 231, Captain Stuart, with another troop, and a small detatchment ()flier Majesty's 22d and 2d Grenadiers, followed in the same directitn. The head-quarters of the sth Madras Cavalry were dispatched from Sholapore on the 25th to co-operate with the troops just men tioned. The latest intelligence received regarding the gang re present them as committing great devastations in the neighbour hood of the Bheetna river. No tidings have as yet reached us of the results of the pursuit, though the troops had been five days absent at the date of our latest letters. NORTHERN CONCAN. A system of wholesale and lawless depredation has, for nearly a twelvemonth put, been carrying on in the Northern Conran, whose suppression has hitherto defied the efforts 'Of Government. The name of the chief freebooter is Ragojee Bangria, who carries on his operations over an area of some 500 square miles in the most audacious and wholesale manner that can be imagine 4. His ac complices are chiefly drawn from the lowest and poorest portion of the people—men who hold life very lightly; and who, besides life, have little or nothing to lose. His plan is to send notice to the wealthier men in the •illaies to have certain sums, for which be will grant them a receipt, ready by a specified day ; when he will call for it, and burn their houses, cut off their ears, and slit their noses, if they fail to comply with his demands. He usually keeps his word, and the amount of m4tila.ion that has in this way been inflicted is perfectly frightful. The roads everywhere are unsafe; travellers are waylaid and stripped of all they possess, and mutilated it suspected of conceal ment. Many of the villages are almost deserted by their inhabitants, who have betaken th em selves ' o the jungles, trusting rather to the wild beasts of the forest than to the tender mercies of Ragojee Bangrta. Detachments of troops, regular ten s er here and strong posss of police, have for nearly a twelvemonth been continually in the field, but all to no purpose The mischief is one policy of the last four y ears. We de o nu it led the t f h n e ti c ts ou of hnttrye wa oftrroops at the very time we provoked discon. tent, by screwing the last shilling we could get in the shape of re. venue.

(From the Calcutta Englishman, Jan. 20.) No later dates from Europa having reached us since our last issue for dispatch per Hindostan, and nothing of consequence having occurred here that could materially afFect our markets for either imports or exports, we have only to notice, on the whole rather less activity, although transactions in the Bazaar still con tinue to a fair extent, and exports have gone forward on the usua scale. The large shipments of indigo which have had to be drawn against having caused rather an abundant supply of bills, we hare to quote a rise in exchange of about a farthing, Opium—Prices hare not materially altered since the Govern_ ment sale, particulars of which we gave in our last ; out of the 5,800 chests sold, there only remain 2,550 to be shipped. Cotton—We have not a single transaction or shipment to notice since our last. Rice—Notwithstanding the continued very high rate of freight. we have no falling off to notice in shipments of this article, but prices having slightly declined, shippers are enabled to lay it down in England at about former rates. For the Mauritius a moderate amount of business continues to be done, but shipments can only be made at flirther advanced rates of freight. Exports from the Ist inst. up to date to Great Britain, 62,437 =rinds, and to Mauritius, 33,768 maunds. . -. Oil Seeds—Linseed continues in request for America at rather higher prices, but present rates of freight have stopped transactions for Grcat Britain. EICII A NGE. Bills with documents having been snore plentiful of late, we hale to notice a rise in rates, but as most of the agency houses who are . in Ow habit of drawing show a determination to resist, we see no reason to expect that any further advance will take place, Our present quotations are—f9r English 10 months' date bills, IL 100. to Is. 11d. per rupee; and for French bills payable its England, Is. I Id. to Is. Some •1 the latter payable in France have also been negotiated at from 2f. 47ic. to 2f. 50c. MONEY ML Our quotations for all descriptions of Bank Stock and Govern. merit securities are nearly the same as those given last month, since which, however, we have to notice the dividend declared by the Union Bank, at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum. The high rates which have been ruling for some time past, and even now (in the face of the large amount of capital required for the speculations is opium and indigo) show no symptoms of declining, which sufficiently manifests the state of our money market. FREIGHTS. Owing to tte demand for tonnage for the Mauritius and West Indies, our rates fur Great Britain hare been maintained. Freight has also, w•e understacd, teen taken on vessels touch. ing at Demerara to land emigrants, at the rate of 41.-to 41. 4a. for sugar and rice. CHINA. The intelligence by the Ardasseer comes down to the 18th of December. We subjoin an ext - act from a trade circular, dated Canton, December 14, and another_trom a private letter, dated llong.Kong, November 28, which give all the news of commercial int crest : " CANTON, DEC. 14, 1844.—Since oars of the 13th ult., our market has remained very dull and inactive—a greater or more general depression has rarely been felt here. The very low rates of imports have prevented importers pressing sales, and the high prices demanded for teas, have, in some degree, limited operations therein. Imports—Of raw cotton sales hare been few, although the deliveries have been very large, and the stock of Bombay greatly diminished. Shirtings—Greys arc taken of freely, but whites remain on hand, with large increasing stocks. Metal and tin plates are disposable, holders are growing mere firm, but stocks are too large to admit of early improvement. Opium—ln Patna there has been considerable fluctuation, with a final Improvement. The ?resent demand is steady for consumption, without specula tion. Woollens of every description yartake largely of the ge. neral de, cession, and transactions have been ♦ery limited; but as stocks are not hear) (excepting carnicts) some improvement at this season may be looked for in exports. Silk continues to be shipped freely at Shanghae ; here nothing is doing. Our season's total export will reach or exceed 1,000 bales. Tea export has been large, being to date in 41 vessels, ' Pampero,' included, Black, 16,337,1461b5.; Green, 3,424,52.51b5. ; Total, 19,761,6711b5." COMPARATIVE STATEMENT OF EXPORTS. 1944-s.—Nov. 30, 39 chip. ; 13Iack, 14,916,7001tm. ; Green, 3,372,4691b5.; Total, 18,289,1691b5. 1643.4.—ti0v. 30, 29 ships; Black, 13,025,7691b5.; Green, 2,045,9061b5.; Total, 15,071,6751b5. Excess of 1844-s.—Black, 1,890,0311n5.; Green, 1,326,5631 be.; Total, 3,9.17,4941b5. The crop of new Green Teas promises to be ample for all de. mands, nor does there appear any sufficient reason for the ex. traragantly high prices hitherto demanded and paid for there. Exchange on London remains at 4s. 6d. per Sp. doll., but opera.- tions have not been extensive. Tonnage—The supply is ample and without indication of change on present rates--31. 10s. to 5/. 15s. "The Canton Market has been for a long time in a ruinous state, and sales during the past six months have been leaving from 2.5 to 30 per cent. loss, and I really see no prospect at present of its improving, so long as shipments continue to be poured in from India to so large an extent ; nor until the present heavy stocks in first and second hands are much reduced. I would, therelbre, strongly advise you to have nothing to do with shipments of cotton to this place, unless you can purchase at much lower rates than have been current se long at Bombay. I should say, unless you, can purchase the best Bombay cotton—Surat or Broach—at 70 re. per candy, it would be air exceedingly dangerous speculation ; but the most suitable qualities of cotton for this market are Dholkra and Compta; Surat and Broach do not fetch a proportionate high price to what you pay for it in Bombay, and should you ship to this, pay great attention to the colour ; see that it be white and perfectly free from seeds. Seedy Cotton is saleable only at a great reduction in price. This is the case, even though the staple and colour is good. So avoid shipping seedy cotton of all things. Compta, if et a good clear white colour, will sometimes fetch ashigh a price as Dhollera ; but it is seldom to be had in Bombay so white, and of the two probably Dhollera Is the safest to ship, if to be had nearly as low as Compta. What the Chinese buyers like in Cotton is ffeedom from seeds, purity of colour, and that flay appearance and firmness. The prices of to-day are as fallow :-- Bontay 5 Tacls at 7i per picul. Madras Bengal ... (I do. to 8 per ditto. But the highest rate quoted for Bombay is only to be °Malicia for some small lots of very fine Cotton. The deliveries of Bombay qualities have been of late more extensive, but the stock still re mains about 12:2,000 bales, " I am sarry to think that the Bombay opium trade will be a long time recovering itself here—almost all the Malw•a that has come in during the past year having been spurious, and many parties must have lost heavily. Only think of it being Bold at \Vliampoa at prices ranging from 500 to 200 dollars per chest. Meyers have little confidence now in Malwa opium; they invert. ably demand a reduction on its being delivered. Patna has faller' suddenly to 660 to 665, and Benares 615 to 620 per chest. This is a very disagreeable place to live in compared to Bombay, arid is very sickly. The Hong-Kong fever appears to be incurable. The weather at Present is fine, but very cold."

MELANCHOLY ACClDENT.—Yesterday, about nine nine'oklegk, an accident, by which one man unfortunately lost his occurred in the river nearly opposite Deptford, under the follow ing circmnstances: —A sailing barge was coming up the river, with rather a fresh hfcieze, whilst a coal barge, manned by the deceased and another labourer, was drifting down with the tide, both men guiding her course by means of oars; when, through some cause both the vessels came into violent collision, and the deceased, who stood upon the gunwale, was pi tched overboard by the con cussion, and although every exertion was made to save hint when he rose to the surface, he was carr ied b y the strength of the tide under the sailing-barge, and was neve r afterwards seen. Several boats Im uictliately pat its tT refrocnoT,t,ry were esh fruitless,oretos as the crchfortiiebocl3", but all th e i r tide rsrrtions fur was running, strong at the time, and must have quickly carried him away from the spot where he sank.
