This mail brings dispatches of the following dates :—From Calcutta, Oct. 8; Bombay, Oct. 15 ; Delhi, Oct. 1; Hong- Kong, Sept. 1. Our letters from Alexandria are to the 7th of November. Accounts from the Punjaub announce the death of Jowahir Singh, the Wuzeer, by the Seikh soldiery, in revenge for the death of Peshora Singh. The Queen-Mother continues to di rect the State affairs. Letters to the 24th from Lahore state that :Meean Prithee had at first been appointed to carry on provisionally the affairs of the State. Raja Lall Singh had been released; and Jewun Singh, who had not gone far, having been seized, received a good beating, but was set free. Lail Singh Mo rareea had hidden himself among his own troops. On the 24th Prithee Singh was deprived of the seals of office, and the Ranee assumed the full powers of Sirkar. There is no news from Sinde. The ex-King of Caubultied of cholera at Loodianah. ..._. __ The Nizam'S dominions continua disordered, and it is ;bought that hostilities will be resorted to. A civil war is threatening Burmah. There is nothing nciv from China. (From the Bombay Times, Oct. 15.) There has been a fresh revolution in the Punjaub. Sirdar Juwahir Singh, the weak minded and dissolute Minister, has been murdered by a portion of the troops, in revenge for the death of Prince Peshora Singh, whose assassination ho is supposed to have instigated. The direction of state affairs was by the last accounts in the hands of the Queen-Mother, though the majority of the soldiery were most anxious that Ghoolab Singh should assume the post of Vizier, and had re repeatedly entreated him to come to Lahore for that purpose. The Maharajah Dhuleep Singh, remains for the present on the throne, but the troops have on more than one occasion threatened to depose him, and elevate a son of the late Shere Singh's, so that his tenure of power can hardly be deemed very secure. There can be little doubt that this important intelligence will have some effect on the views of the Go vernor-General in reference to the Punjaub. From Sinde there is scarcely a particle of news. The season promises to be less hot than usual, and the trifling character of the sickness that has as yet appeared leads us to hope that it may prove very much less unhealthy. There is no news from Affghanistan, but we hear from Lootlianah of the death from cholera of Zemaun Shah, the blind - old ex-King of Caubul. The Nizam's dominions con tinue in a most disordered state, and it is thought the British Government will have to resort to hostilities for the thorough restoration of tranquillity. A. civil war is threatenning in Burmah. From China we have received some recent intelligence, the most important item of which is that the principal inha bitants of Hong-Kong have addressed a memorial to Lord Stallley, in which the miserable prospects of the colony, and the impolitic and oppressive nature of its government, are graphically detailed. Backed as this will be by the representations of Mr. Montgo mery Martin, it cannot fail, we should think, to produce considerable effect. Sir Henry Hardinge is ex pected to reach Agra about the 20th instant and it is said he will meet the Commander-in-Chief at Meerut on the 15th proximo. Our local news comprises few incidents of im portance. The monsoon seems to be entirely over, and it has been a most defective one. The prospects of the agri culturists are consequently anything but cheering. Much satisfaction has been caused by the announcement that his Excellency Sir Thomas M‘Mahon is to retain the post of Commander-in 7 Chief of the Bombay army another year. In vestigations will shortly be in progress in reference to the prospects of the Great Indian Peninsular Railway; and we observe that the Chamber of Commerce is about to memo rialise Government, recommending the introd uc ti on o f rail . . way communication into this country, but claiming for Bom bay due participation in the advantages of any system that may be adopted, and expressing an opinion inimical to the construction of a "short experimental line," as proposed by the Court of Directors, as a means of testing the benefits de rivable from the new mode of locomotion. THE PUNJAUB. (From the Delhi Gazette Extra, Sept. 30.) We have been most anxiously expecting the details of the ast great tragedy in Lahore, but unfortunately for us the dak from the north-west frontier seems to have been unac countably delayed on this occasion, and did not reach Delhi till near five yesterday afternoon. We lost no time, never theless, in giving the particulars received by us to our station friends, and now proceed to make them more generally known. They are to the following effect :—The troops had, it is said by our letter (dated September 22), gone out to the encampment ground of Meean Meer for the ostensible purpose of preventing any damage to the town during the scenes on which they seem to have been determinedly bent. It has been stated in our previous accounts, brought down to the 19th of the month, that four chiefs had been de tained by them as hostages for the fulfilment of the de mand they had made that the Ranee should bring out the Maharaja to them, accompanied, if she pleased, by Sirdar Juwahir Singh. Fukeer Noor-ood-deen, one of them, had been allowed to return to the fort on the 20th, to communi cate to the Ranee the firm determination of the troops to abide by their resolution. He seems to have succeeded in his negotiation, supported by the persuasions and assurances of Raja Lall Singh, who declared that he had ample re liance in the troops, for towards the evening of the 21st the royal party issued from the fort, the Ranee first, in a well protected palkee, and then the Maharaja, on an elephant, with his uncle (Sirdar Juwahir Singh), behind him on the same elepant ; the Wuzeer was unarmed, without even his sword or shield, and carried a small parasol. These were followed by some of the Ranee's women, on elephants. The troops had, in the mean time, become impatient at the pro tracted delay, and the procession had scarcely got clear of the gate, when they were told that some of the battalions were approaching with the declared intention of at once storming the fort. The consequence was that the Maha raja's certige soon fell in with the first of them, which happened to be the Dhera of Court Saheb. These im mediately turned about and conducted the royal per sonages to their own particular encampment, close to the spot where the Maharaja's tents had been pitched in an ticipation of the visit. A salute, but not of the required number of guns, was fired. On reaching the appointed spot the court troops broke off, and tumultuously surrounded the several elephants. The Ranee was made to enter one of the tents, the mahout of the Maharaja's elephant was or dered to cause his charge to kneel down, and, as he seemed to hesitate, his movements were hastened by a shot in the side, which severely wounded, but did not kill him. The elephant knelt, a soldier seized the Maharaja, and carried him in his arms either into the tent, or to a little distance, when the elephant was immediately made to stand up again, and a volley of musketry was directed against Juwahir Singh. The first discharge not taking effect, the wuzeer prayed they would spare him, and seized the opportunity of a momentary pause to assure the troops that he had, at that moment, one sack full of rupees, and anotherof golden bracelets and armlets with him, readyfor distribution amongst them. The commu nication had an effect the reverse of what the sirdar seemed to expect, and the firing having been forthwith renewed, the wu zeer was soon put out of his misery. Two of his principal fa vourites, named Chatta Baia and Baba Ruttun Singh, who were following, well mounted, thought to escape by the speed of their horses, but were soon overtaken and shot down. With the death of these three persons, the revenge of the blood thirsty soldiery seems to have been satisfied for the time. They kept the Maharaja, however, and the Ranee, in the camp during the whole night, but allowed them to return to the fort about ten on the following morning (22d inst.) also releasing the chiefs Deewan Deena Nath, Bukhshee Bhuggut Ram, and the Attareewallah Sirdar. Raja Lall Singh, who had, it appears, returned to Lahore with Juwahir Singh on the Bth, and who is, on all hands, declared to be the paramour of.the Ranee, was alone kept a close pri soner, and bad, according to one account, been put in chains by the troops. He immediately set about doing all he could to obtain his release from his rapacious gaolers; and, amongst his other representations (how far warranted by the facts of the case we cannot tell. but it seems to us un likely, and to have been said to divert the attention of the troops), we are assured he has told the soldiery that Sirdar Juwahir Singh had deposited, in a spot between Ferozepore and Loodianah, two krores of rupees. He further solemnly promised them, in writing, fifteen rupees per man as pay, and a pair of gold bracelets as a present gratuity, if they would release him, and appoint him wuzeer, while another candidate for the favour of the army, Meean Prithee Singh, has also given them a written promise that they shall have 18 rupees per man, and the bracelets to boot ! It is very confidently asserted that the Ranee would never have left the palace on this unfortunate occasion, had she not been assured by Ra ja Lall Singh, in the most solemn manner, that he had eight battalions in his'favour, and he seems to have been so far correct in his assurances, that it is generally believed that had the court troops not made short work of the matter, he would have been able to protect the wuzeer, and that the respective parties would have been engaged in a general battle. The bodies of the late wuzeer, Sirdar Juwahir Singh, and of his two fellow-sufferers, were publicly burnt on the afternoon of the 22d in the Badamee Garden, which has of late been made the scene of so many frightful trage dies, and of one on the present occasion still more frightful, if possible. Three, or according to another account of this disgusting event, four women were burnt with the bodies, and, most shocking to relate, such was the disgraceful rapacity of the villanous mob surrounding the funeral pyres, that not only the more valuable ornaments of the unfortunate women, but their very clothes were torn from off their bodies before the,v stepped into the fire. A number of the slaves of the Ranee, Dewan Deena Nath, Bukhshee IThuggut Ram, and the Attareevrallah, Kallewallah, Birders, with a large concourse of people, attended the funeral on elephants. Raja Ghoolab Singh was shortly expected in Lahore, when our letters came away, and it was supposed that either he or his nephew, Juwahir Singh, younger brother of the late Sirdar Heem Singh, would be elevated to the post of wuzeer. He must be a brave man who undertakes it with the fate of Dheean Singh, Heera Singh, and recently Juwahir Singh, before him. It appears that Sirdar Juwabir Singh's brother, Heera Singh, was in Lahore at the time of the tragedy, but that his life was spared, as also that of the slave Mangela Goolee, the favourite of Juwahir Singh, who has been frequently mentioned, and who is known to have' had great influence. Sirdar Jewun Singh, Toshekhaneeah, and Lall Singh Morareea, had succeeded, it is said, in saving themselves by flight, and it is not known whither they had gone. The most important part of our news, if the fit hold, as it is certainly on them, is, that the soldiery had declared their positive intention of crossing the Sutlej. Nous verrons. They appear undoubtedly in a state to do anything. Since writing the above, we have received letters to the 24th from Lahore, stating that the Meean Prithee had at first been appointed to carry on provisionally the affairs of the state. Raja Lall Singh had been released ; and Jewun Singh, who had not gone far, having been seized, received a good beating, but was set free. Lall Singh Morareea had hidden himself among his own troops. On the 24th Prithee Singh was deprived of the " seals of office," and the Ranee assumed the full powers of " Sirkar." SINDE. We have accounts from Sukkur tothe 29th ult., from Hy derabad to the Bth, and from Kurrachee to the 11th instant; but the news is of a very trifling and unimportant character. With the exception of a few cases of fever, there has been as yet no sickness amongst the troops at the two former places, _and the latter maintains its reputation as a cool, agreeable, and healthy station. At Khaughur, however, a considerable number of the Legion Cavalry have been in hospital. The season is represented as much cooler than usual: the river had not risen as high as in former years by several inches, and, by the last accounts from Hyderabad, was falling rapidly. Lieutenant E. Ducat, of the 13th Native Infan try, died at Hyderabad on the 4th instant, and Assistant!. Surgeon G. K. Dickinson at Fort Fitzgerald (Larkhana) on the 30th ult. An affray occurred at Shikarpore in the early part of last month between a party of Belooch convicts, con demned to hard labour on the roads, and the Chuprasses on guard over them. The convicts managed to get off, after inflicting a severe thrashing on their opponents ; they were twenty-four in number, and though troops were turned ont with the utmost dispatch, and every exertion made to secure thew, only ten in eleven were eventually captured. Briga. SUN, LOND'ON, SATURDAY EVE dier Douglas has been succeeded at Kurrachee by Colonel Frushard, and the latter officer has already won."golden opinions from all sorts of men." The 25th hombay Native Infantry has arrived at the Presidency. The 2d Bombay Cavalry are to follow, and have received instructions to pro ceed to Poonah. The loss of the latter corps is to be sup plied by the addition of another regiment of Sinde Horse, which will be stationed between Sukkur and the Sheik fron tier. We regret to observe an announcement of the death, at Sukkur, of Major W. Brown, of the 69th Bengal Native In fantry. Sir C. Napier has issued an order on this occasion, highly commendatory of the deceased officer, and expressive of deep regret at his loss. The good folks of Kurrachee, judging from the constant gaieties in progress amongst them, races, balls, dinners, and cricket matches, must succeed most effectually in dissipating ennui. we learn, Sir J. Davis is not adapted for that purpose. He is exclusively a Cantpn and an opium diplomatist, and even ,his little smatteringf ihe Canton dialbet, 'consi dered the - worst of the Chinese language, is a diFfailvantage, instead of being beneficial so the proposed undertaking. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. BOMBAY, WEDNESDAY, Oar. 15. 'or the reasons given in our number of the 11th, the market continues vary quiet. We have no alteration to note in the prices of cotton fabrics. We have obtained a report: of transactions in cotton piece goods, 'which we subjoin. The raw staple continues to maintain itself at a high price, and there have been about 4,500 bales exported to Great Britain since the publication of our last overland report. We cannot anticipate any decline in prices of raw cotton just now. Twists and yarns are realising remunerating rates; prices of some numbers have risen slightly. The imports during the fortnight have been heavy, as will be seen by a reference to our report below; meantime sales have been extensive. The metal market continues without alteration, and with but occasional transactions,. We subjoin our remarks:— The market has been very quiet during the week, and, in consequence of the approach of the Dewallee Festival, will most probably continue so. Natives are loth to make purchases at the clOse of their year. We may, however, look for a corresponding reaction, and the resumption of a steady business with the Hindoo new year. We have not heard of any transactions in cotton fabrics Of mule and water-twist about 200 bales have been sold a fair prices. MEMORANDA OF THE BOMBAY MARKET. Raw cotton continues firm.

Our market was st ea dy an d mone y i n greater atundance to the 4th, when business closed for the Doorgah Foojah holidays. Government securities have risen, and show an upward tendency, as will be seed by our quotations, especially the new Five per Cent. Loan. Exchange has rather receded, and sellers are not disposed to give more than 1-14 to i at ten months' date. In Bank Stock we have no alteration to notice. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES.

Cotton—The sales of Bombay during the month, are corn. puted at 20,000 bales. The market has been considerably forced, and sales consequently made at a much lower rate, than previous quotations. The highest sale we hear of, is at 6 6 nett, 6 3 being about the average. We hear of a small sale of Bengal at 8 5 nett, being but of very middling quality. It is much wanted, and good Banda would readily command 9 taels. There have been no sales of Tinnivelly. The stock of cotton is computed at 90,000 bales, about 30,000 less than at the same time last year. The clearances continue on a fair scale, and as the imports will not be large there seems every chance to hope for improvement. Cotton Yarn:—High numbers in less demand, and price drooping—low numbers still saleable. Long Cloths are unprecedenteffly dull. The 'dealers have light stocks, but there seems to be a very large quantity in the pack-houses. Good whites are more saleable in com parison with greys than they were, but 72 reeds of either will not fetch 3 dols. long. Fair quality of greys are being offered to the dealers at 2 dole., but cannot be sold. American Goods--Domestics', 40 vds. by 40 in., very dull at 2 dols. 50 cents; but twills, 30 yds. by 60 in., being very scarce, will command 2 dols. 75 cents. Long Ells—Have fallen about 20 cents ; purple and scarlet are worth 8 nols. 80 cents; Inazarine blue, 8 dole. 70 cents; black, 8 dols. 40 cents; green, 7 dale. 75 cents; light blue, 8 dols. ; brown, 7 dole. ; ash and yellow, 6 dols. and 6 dole. 50 cents. The stock is by no means excessive, and there being some strong holders amongst the Chinese, present rates will likely be maintained- Spanish Stripes—Have been dull, and late quotations barely obtainable, 1 dol. to 25 cents long the full quotation. Camlets—Quite unsaleable; the best assortment of colours and quality of English will not command 20 dole. Iron—Nail-rod, 3 dots. 10 cents; bar and bolt, 2 dole. 65 cents long. There is a good deal in the hands of foreigners, and the dealers would give much above those quotations if they could buy a quantity; but as the foreigners will hold for rates equal to those in England, and as there will be no fresh imports to speak of for some time, sn advance may confi dentlybe expected. Leid—Deinand pretty good, 5 dole. to 5 dole. 25 cents long the quotations. Tin—The stock of Straits and Barca is small, and part of it having been purchased for re-export, Barca may be voted 19 doll., and Straits 18 d o l e . The d emand from the , noted is limited. Tin Plates have been in good demand for some time past, and may be quoted 7 dole. 50 cents long, With a reduced stock. Putehuck in better demand-10 dole. 50 cents obtainable. Rattans have become very scarce-4 dole. long may easily be got for Banjarmassin, and 3 dole. 50 cents for Straits. Betel Nut—There have been two importations, one of 2,500 piculs, and the other of 4,000. The first sold readily at something about 5 doll., but the second has rather fright• ened the dealers, and the same price cannot be got for it at this moment. Rice continues to droop ; Arracan can hardly be sold at 1 dol. 25 cents., and Manilla or Belli at 1 dol. 50 cents. Opium—Malwa, much wanted; the stock of both good and inferior reduced to a bagatelle ; good may be sold in large quantities at 785 dols., and inferior may be moved on much better terms than was ever the case before; Bengal drug does not look so encouraging. A good business has been done during the week, but this was known to be in execution of limited orders from the country, which had been some time waiting in the market. These were mostly for Benares, which went as low as 635 dols., but rallied to 650,d015. and 655 dols. ; Patna went to 675 dols., but rallied to 890 dols. ; Old Patna seems little influenced, and may be quoted 715 dots. ; the market must have receded much farther, but for the large supplies sent up the coast. The quantity sent to that quarter during the month is immense, and the markets there must be swamped. As arrivals may hourly be expected from Bengal, with dr ug t o a l arge am o u nt, laid i n at rates which foesent quotations will remunerate, a fall may be antici pated; Turkepremains dull at 520 dols. Cochineal—Has become very scarce, and good will readily command 230 dots. EXPORTS. Teas—The sales of Congon during the past week were eomparatively small, only five or six chops being reported as settled, the prices corresponding to those ruling from the commencement of the season. Somewhat lower prices are now looked for, but keeping in view the much reduced sup ply to come this season from the Sin. tche-kye district, with out a proportionate increase from the Moning and Hohow districts, any material reduction in present rates ought not to be expected. About 150 chops of Moning have arrived, and upwards of 90 have been settled. Of Hohows 40 chops or so lave come in, but only five or six as yet are settled. Seuebong—About 12 chops in all have been taken at 10 to CO taels. BENGAL. (From the General Summary of the Bengal Ifurkaru,Oct. 7.) The intelligence from Hyderabad, in the Deccan, is of a somewhat momentous character. Some time ago a peon, attached to the British residency, was killed by some of the subjects of the Nizam. The resident demanded that the murderers should be delivered up to justice ; but his High ness, or his government, was unable or unwilling to comply with his demand. After reference made to the supreme Go vernment, the resident offered to the Nizam the alternative either of giving up the murderers within one month, or ex pelling from his dominions the Puthans, a lawless tribe, of Affglian origin, who were, harbouring the murderers. Again his Highness was found unable or unwilling to comply; he neither delivered up the homicides nor expelle the obnoxious tribe, but begged for additional time. This, however, could not be granted; and it is rumoured at Hyderabad that, on failure of prompt compliance with the renewed demand of the resident, the city is to.bombarded. But this, we would fain hope, is only a threat to enforce compliance, and feel assured that it cannot be intended to carry it into execution. - NORTH-WESTERN PROVINCES. (From the Delhi Gazette, Oct. 1.) The movements of Sir Henry Hardinge are so far deter mined on that he will arrive at Cawnpore on the 17th, and remain there only during the heat of the day. His Honour is to travel in a palkee gharee, drawn and pushed by bearers in the same manner as Lord Ellenborough. An escort of one naik and four troopers is stationed at each dak chokey from Allahabad to Agra, which station he will reach on the 20th. Since the above was written we have have learned that there is every probability of the Governor-General's stay at Agra being shorter than was at first intended. His Honour is, we are informed on good grounds, to be at Meerut on the 15th of November, and will there meet his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief (instead of at Agra, as originally arranged), whose camp is to be formed at Umballah on the Ist of that month. It is said, but we are not sure of this fact, that Mr. Thompson is to accompany Sir Henry Hardinge to Meerut. It is highly probable. Prince Waldemar of Prussia comes, we believe, down with the Commander-in- Chief, and will be at Meerut at the time of the meeting of the magnates. DELT - IL—We regret to say that we have been visited by cholera. Between the 25th and 29th of September, being five days, fifty-seven cases proved fatal. The disease has percep tibly diminished since Sunday night, when we had the storm of rain and lightning. Six places, in different parts of th e city, have been fixed on where medical advice and medicine are always to be procured, and among the poorer classes the " Relief Committee " have sent both medicine and medical advice. CHINA. (From the Bengal Hurkaru.) The Fire Queen has brought - us news from China to the 28th ult., from Singapore to the 11th instant, and from Pe nang to the 13th inst. The most interesting item of our intelligence from the shores of the Flowery Land is a memorial addressed by the English merchants of Hong-Kong to Lord Stanley, setting forth various grievances to which they are subjected by the local Government, and the correspondence between the memorialists and his Excellency the Governor. The mer chants complain that, after being coaxed and forced into buildings at Hong-Kong, under a promise held out to them by Captain Elliot, that they were to have their lands either in fee-simple at one or two years purchase, or at a nominal quit rent, very onerous terms were imposed upon them by Sir H. Pottinger, and are still enforced by the present Govern ment. They also complain of the arbitrary levy of as as sessment for the maintenance of the police, while no mu nicipal body has been formed to control the expenditure : and that, " in a place nominally declared to be a free port, every description of commerce and trade is 'a subject of taxation, or source• of revenue, or of monopoly, sold to the highest bidder." Under these circumstances, they ask Her Majesty's Government to direct the abolition of the opium farm, the auction duties, and other " harassing taxations," declaring that if this is not done, the European inhabitants of the settlement, following the ex ample of the Chinese, will be compelled, at all risks, to leave it. It is, they say, a place totally without commerce, yet taxed even in the one matter of ground-rent more heavily than any other port of China is altogether. Hong-Kong, say the memorialists, " was never actually required by the Bri • tish merchants, and has become even less useful than ever since the opening of the five ports." They believe that it is only useful as a military and naval station, and therefore sub mit that the few merchants settled there should not be called on to pay any considerable part of its expenses. Another matter of some interest is a correspondence be tween the Governor and the Chinese authorities of. Foo chow-foo, on the rude treatment of British visitors by the populace of that place. Governor-General Lew attributes the treatment complained of to the curiosity of the people; who have not yet become accustomed to the sight of Euro peans, and, consequently, crowd about them to an inconve dient degree. He suggests as a remedy that every English man intending to visit the place should give notice of such intention, when a guard of policemen will be appointed to take care of him. This, of course, did not quite suit the Consul, who moved as an amendment, that the police should be distributed in the streets near the Consulate, and that the shopkeepers of the ward should be made responsible for the capture of any one insulting an English visitor. Opium is quoted, New Patna, 680 dolls , Old Patna, 715 dolls., Benares, 650 dolls. The monopoly of the retail opium trade of Hong-Kong has been sold for 1,700d01. per month. A "Chinese Coasting Steam Navigation Company" has been projected, with the object of keeping up a communica tion betwixt the ports open to foreign trade, by means of three iron screw-propelled steamers of 300 tons burden and 100 horse power each, with two smaller vessels to run betwixt Canton and Hong-Kong. From Singapore we bear that the Lady Mary Wood re turned thither from China on the 9th inst., and left on the the evening of the 10th on her way to Ceylon, to hand over her mails to the Bentinck. The Braganza, with the English mail of the 24th of July, reached Singapore on the sth inst. The number of covers brought by the latter was 1.325, that of those carried away by the former 4,180. The Hong-Bong Register and the Friend of China have started overland sum maries and got London correspondents. The Free Press has news of later date from New Zealand, via Australia. It appears that, after repeated unsuccessful assaults, in which the British force suffered severely, Held abandoned his fortress, which was thereupon destroyed. Colonel Despard, in command of the British force, was de terred by the state of the weather from following the natives nto the interior. From Penang there is no news of any great interest. BRITISH PROSPECTS IN CHINA. (From the Gentleman's Gazette.) On the day of the departure of the last mail for Europe we have a statistical account of the islands of Hong•Kon and Chnsan, from which the superior advantages of the latter will be evident to even the cursory observer. In fact, Hong- Kong, instead of benefiting the British trade, seems rather to be an incubus on it, for it restricts the enterprise and energy of the British colonists to one of the most barren and unhealthy spots on the Chinese coast. It was - a great mistake, or rather blunder, on the part of the English negotiators, at th e ti me when the British arms were so highly successful in bringing the Chinese Government to a sense of its weakness, that they had not studied the geographical position of the Chinese empire. Captain Elliot, Sir H. Pottinger, and even Sir J. Davis, do not seem to have examined the feelings of the Chinese people, so much as the mere localities in which they sought to open trade against the will of the Emperor and of the Mandarins. The Tartar Government of China, which found itself three years ago on the eve of dissolution, has since exhibited some proofs of judgment and decision. It is now preparing for another war, by buying up and preparing arms of all sorts, and by introducing discipline amongst its troops. It is not yet ready to enter upon the contest, and will no doubt sooner enter into a new treaty with England, in order to secure some years of tranquillity. That treaty ought to be instantly proposed, for the last two have been found to be mere waste of parchment. Undoubtedly, if the United States and France had the right, after the Emperor had made a treaty with the British, to send agents to make advantageous treaties for themselves, so has England now a right, when experience has shown the impolicy, the absolute folly, of her two former treaties, to propose and even to carry a beneficial one into operation. The large sums offered as a ransom by the Chinese had considerable influence in patching up the last treaties, but, however acceptable the money may have been, the provi sions of the treaties have been found to be ineffective and impolitic. Changed they must be before many years pass over, and we may ask why not now? Th e ti me f or th e sur render of Chusan is approaching; its abandonment will pro duce the worst consequences; for, instead of its being re stored to the Chinese empire, it is to be seized by the French armament at present in the Chinese seas, as soon as it is re linquished by the British. The French officers belonging to their squadron make no secret of their intentions to take it, although France has no commerce on the Chinese coast to warrant that capture. They wish, however, to open a trade, and they hope to get Chusan for the purpose, if the English, who have it now in thei r p ossess i on , w ill be fools enough to quit that beautiful island, in order to make room for the French, who are making every effort to establish colonies in the eastern seas. A shrewd politician, on hearing that the French are resolved to have an island on the coast of China, has proposed that they should have Hong-Kong, and that the British should continue masters of Chusan. Hong-Kong may suit the present French trade, while Chusan will be always adapted to the British commerce. The maritime position of Chusanis — ex cellent ; ships from Europe and India can, during the north-east monsoon, reach it with equal ease, and in the same time as they can come to Hong-Kong. It is 700 miles more to the north, and by far more fitted for the trade. Its harbour is preferable to that of Hong-Kong; its anchorage is good, and it is situate so as to command the entrance into the great river Yang-tze-kiang, which constitutes the main artery of the Chinese Empire. With the possession of Chusan, which is in reality the key of the commercial intercourse, as well as of political command on the west of China, two regiments, two frigates, and two steamers, would keep the whole empire in check, by stopping at any time the entrance into that grand river. The Chinese Empire, under the Tartars, may appear stag nant and apathetic; but if that Government were destroyed, the greatest confusion and horrors would arise. To Great Britain, as the paramount foreign power on the coast of China, the position of Chusan w is invaluable, in a political view, for it would tend to mainrain a most salutary terror of foreign powers amongst the whole of the provinces on the banks of that river. By the stipulations of the treaty with the Chinese, the island of Chusan is to be restored in December, 1845, or rather within three months afterwards. We have already shown how the Chinese mandarins have violated the spirit and regulations of that document ; they have altogether spoiled the trade of three of the newly opened ports, and they are struggling by every artifice to drive the British back to Canton, to be there insulted and oppressed as of old. The question now remains to be decided, if the British diplomatists, or rather the British Government, will quietly submit to have its efforts neutralised, and its good faith abused by those tricksters? Assuredly, if the promise of having a trade established at five ports be fraudulently neutralised and negatived, the British people cannot be bound to adhere to the mere words of the treaty, and to surrender the only spot worthy of being retained. While the cunning mandarins have contrived to cut off the bud of commerce at Amoy, Fowchoo Too, and Ningpo, it would be worse than folly to give up Chusan. We have thus explained our rea sons for its being retained, and we hope that before six months shall have passed over, there will be a British am bassador sent tn China for the purppse of settling the Whole matter. A British *ambassador is ueeessary, for, as far as IN'G. NOVEMBER 20,, 1445. Flowery Pekoe—About 800 chests have been sold during the week, making the sales of. the new crop amount to 2,000 &Jests, at 40 taels for fair Pekoe With Flowery, to 94 tads for fine very flowery. Caper--The stock d now on hand of plain is about 20,000 ten eAty boxes, for which 17 to 20 taols is wanted, and 2,009 half chests at 16 to 18 taels. These prices being too high for the present state of the market in England, the sales are very tii ling, Scented kinds are in demand, and some 15,000 ten catty boxes of the new crop have been sold at 35 to 40 taels. . Orange Pekoes—Very little doing in plain; in the scented kinds, which are this year rather above the average quality, some activity prevails, and 4,000 to 5,000 half chests have been bought at 53 to 60 taels. For one very fine parcel 64 taels is wanted. These prices show an advance of 7 taels on last year's rates. .tiMg Fong—Sales just now are small, and for the English market only, bnt the total quantity settled fur amounts to 14,000 half chests, and 10,000 ten catty boxes, at prices ranging from 23 to 44 taels, being last year's rates. Old Congou and Souchong.—ln these kinds, purchases of small extent continue to be made, at 13 taels for good ordi nary, to 17 to 70 for but middling, blackish leaf. About 10,000 chests of Congou, and about 2,000 chests Souchong, remain on hand. Greens—New teas of tke inferior kinds, Taiping, are daily expected, but the superior sorts will not arrive fur six weeks. The crops are said to be of good average quality and quail tity—prices equal to last year's are talked of. Cantoa sorts remain at previous quotations—the transactions in them for the English market supporting prices. Silk—Nothing doing; the supply of Canton hardly enough for the native wants. No. 3,290 doll. No one seems dis posed to open the market for the Nankeen arrived down, the prices demanded being so much higher than those ruling in the north. Cassia—Want of tonnage prevents transactions. We hear of a purchase of 1,500 piculs for the American market. No drug ship loading for England at present. Camphor—Some has been sent via Singapore. Sugar—We hear of nothing doing. Quicksilver-128 dols. per picul ; no demand. dols. 50 cents. per box ; ditto. Freights—Several ships have been taken up for London at 41. 10s. There is a demand for ships to proceed to Shang hae and load; 5/. ss. would be given, besides some freight up. Exchanges—On London, six months' sight, 4s. Pd. Ac cepted Company's bills have receded from 227 to 225, and are wanted. Mexican dollars scarce at 3 per cent. Sycee for duty 6 per cent. SHANGHAE, AUG. 6. Tea—Business in teas and silks continues brisk. The great run has been upon Moming teas, and likewise Hohow kinds. Pekoes of fair quality are in the market, and some true Nan keen green teas ,have also appeared. Prices are very high, the teamen being very extravagant in their demands. Gunpowder, GO taels. Hysons, 80 taels. Silk—Operations in silk have been extensive; fine Tsatlee is worth 440 dols., and best Taysaan 360 dols. Opium—The drug market has given way from 10 dols. to 15 dols., the rates at NVoosung were, for Patna 805 do'es and for Malwa 825 dots. Saltpetre—Dull of sale. Shirtings—Of 70 reed. 3 dols. 20 cents. American Drills-2 dols. 90 cents. "Woollens are in fair request ; an importation of fine broad cloth, say 70 pieces of Mazarine blue, 20 pieces of black, and 10 pieces of light blue, would bring 3 dols. Camlets (English) are taken at 24 dols. A good assort ment would command that price.—China Mail, Aug. 28. BIRTHDAY OF THE PRINCESS ROYAL.—The birth day of her Royal Highness was celebrated yesterday, at Windsor, with the usual manifestations of loyalty. The bells of the St. George's Chapel and the parish church rang mer rily, at intervals, from an early hour in the morning until the close of the day. A royal salute was tired at twelve o'clock from the Belvidere, at Virginia Water, and also from the Corporation ordnance in the Long Walk. Her Majesty gave a banquet at the Castle to celebrate the auspicious event. Their Highnesses Prince and Princess Nicholas Esterhazy and family, as well as the Earl and Countess of Jersey, and Lady Clementina Villiers, who were to have gone to Middleton-park, near Bicester, this week, are de tained in town from the circumstance that the scarlet fever is very prevalent in the village at the present time. It is doubtful if they go to Middleton before the second week in the ensuing month. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cam bridge has been pleased to offer the Countess of Jersey and her family the royal cottage at Kew until they can go with safety to Oxfordshire. The Right Hon. Sir Robert Gordon, G.C.8., is expected at the Clarendon Hotel to-day, from hie seat in Aberdeenshire, en route to Vienna, to resume his diplomatic functions at the Austrian Court. VISCOUNTESS VILLIERS.—We are happy to learn that her Ladyship, by accounts received by the Earl of Jersey yesterday from Upton House, was considered by her medical attendants to be going on favourably, and as the crisis of the fever bad passed, no danger was apprehended. The eldest daughter of the Noble Viscountess was also much better. THE LATE VISCOUNTESS CANTERBURY.—ViSOMMt Canterbury, the Hon. Henry Manners Sutton, M.P., and Mr. Sanderson, M.P., left town yesterday for Clifton, near Bris tol, to attend the funeral of the deceased Viscountess. The interment does not take place at Addington, Surrey, where the family vault is, but at Clifton. THE LATE DOWAGER LADY HOLLAND.-011 MOD.- day next the mortal remains of her Ladyship are to be re moved from Great Stanhope-street, to be conveyed to Ampt hill, Beds, where on the following day the funeral is to take place at the parish church, where the deceased lady is to be interred in the same vault with the late Lord Holland. Col. Fox, M.P., Sir Henry Webster, and Lord Lilford, will attend on the mournful occasion. The Duke and Duchess of Richmond, and the Ladies Caroline, Cecili a , an d A ugus t a Gordon Lennox, are expected to arrive in Portland-place on Friday next, from Gordon Castle, N. 8., on their way to Goodwood Park, for the winter. The Duke of Rutland and a small party have been enjoying the sports of the field at Cheveley Park, nearNew market. Lord George Manners left the Park to attend a railway meeting in Cambridgeshire early in the week. , Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston, Earl Cow per, Viscount and Viscountess Jocelyn, Lord and Lady William Powlett, the Hon.

The gen tlemen of the party had abundant sport on Thursday in shooting over the preserves. RATING OF PRINCE ALBERT'S FARM AT WINDSOR. —A curious question is likely to come before the Windsor Bench of Magistrates in connexion with the rating of Flemish Farm, in the occupation. of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, which is situated within the parish of Wind sor. At a vestry meeting, held at Windsor on the 18th of last September, a resolution was unanimously carried, to the effect that it was the opinion of the parishioners that Prince Albert having a beneficial occupation in Flemish Farm, his Royal Highness is justly liable to pay all rates and taxes due for the said property; and that the collector be in structed to make application to the Prince for all arrears of poor-rates due to the parish. All the defaulters, with the ex ception of his Royal Highness, were served with the following notice on Thursday last :—" The period specified in the notice left at your residence for the payment of the poor-rates having expired, I beg to apprize you, that in default of im mediate payment, the usual proceedings will be forthwith takeu.—W. TOWERS, Collector." The Prince's rates still remaining unpaid, we understand that an objection to the summons, and to the issuing of distress warrants, will be taken, upon the ground that as the Prince Consort has not either paid his rates or been summoned, the whole proceed ings should be considered null and void. It will be interest ing to see in what way the Windsor magistrates will act in the matter. KING'S COLLEGE HOSPlTAL.—Yesterday a ge neral quarterly meeting of governors and directors of this charity took place at the board-room of the hospital, in Por tugal-street, Lincoln's Inn, when George Jaques, Esq., was elected secretary and house-steward, which office was vacated by the resignation of Mr. E. C. Stevens. In aid of the funds of the charity a concert, on a very large scale, will take place on Monday next, on which occasion several eminent members of the musical world will afford their as sistance. LEEDS CORN MARKET, Nov. 18.—Our arrivals of all grain are moderate. There is a good demand for wheat, and for best qualities of new red rather over Friday's rates are obtained, while old fetches fully as much money; the inferior descriptions of new are in more request. Barley is taken off at prices quite as good as on Friday. Beans slow of sale, and the turn lower. In other articles no alter ation. THE GREAT BOAT-RACE BETWEEN POCOCK AND CLASFER.—The great match for 2001. between Henry Clasper, of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and William Pocock, of Lambeth, appointed for Tuesday next, is the leading topic of conversa tion amongst aquatic men of all classes. The event is looked forward to with very considerable interest, and there can be no doubt, from the well-known celebrity of the men, that it will be a most spirited race. So sanguine of success are the friends of the parties, that both, in their turn, may be said to have a slight call in the betting circles; indeed fancy and favouritism have induced persons who speculate largely in these matters to go to strange extremes, such as, in many respects, are not warranted by circumstances ; but the majo rity of the large sums depending upon the issue of this great event have we are assured from good authority, been laid out at even. The distance to be rowed is five miles, the race ex tending from Newcastle-bridge to Leamington Point. SUICIDE FROM LONDON-BRIDGE:Last night, about twenty minutes past ten o'clock, a man of colour, named Joshua Parker, who resides in Jobs-street, Bermond sey, and has obtained a living by vending cheap publications_ mounted the parapet u p on th e nor th- s id e o f London-bridge, jumped into th e r i ver . Th e c i rcums t anc e was witnessed k' e by at least thirty persons w h o wer e passing at the time, but ' tim t but they were unable to save him. He had been p a few minutes previo us ly to a young man, afellow-lodger, immediatelyo f the name after h t Lyons, the h attracted to the spot almost w ow as unfortunate event. The poor fellow and on Thursday his youngest boy fell a victim to the same on Sunday buried his wife, who bad died of the typhus fever, disease. The unfortunate deceased was very much distressed, and has left three children, the eldest but seven years of age. A boat was speedily put off, but the body had not been found at a late hour last night. WESTMINSTER COURT OF SEWERS.—The ordinary meeting of this Court was yesterday held at the Court-house, in Greek-street, Soho-square. The usual business of the Court having been gone through, the proposition made by Mr. Lebreton, and passed at the last Court, were brought forward for confirmation. A letter was read from Mr. Doull, the assistant-surveyor, complaining of the proposed plan for his dismissal without any charge of misconduct having been made or proved against him, during his service of ten years. On the motion for confirming the resolution, passed at the last Court, " That the present surveyor's department is in efficient," Mr. Leslie objected to such a course. After a lengthened discussion, the resolution for the confirmation was put and carried nem. con. The other alterations proposed in the resolution, passed on Friday last, were then taken seria tim and passed. Mr. Lebreton next moved, " That from Lady-day next the services of Mr. Doull, the present as sistant-surveyor, be dispensed with, and the office abolished." The motion was carried by a majority of seven to five, and the Court adjourned.

Sherborne, Nov. 21, 1845. Sin,—My attention has been given to what purports to be a report of the procet•dings of a railway meeting at Weymouth. contained in The Sun of Tuesday. I think it fair towards you to inform you that besides being incomplete it is very inaccurate. Sir John Audrey is represented as a Direetor of the Great Western Railway, and not of the Wilts, Somerset,, and Weymouth, wherees he said, I am a Director of the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth, and not otherwise con nected with the Great Western. Mr. Eliot is described u taking the opportunity of informing the gentlemen of the Great Western, instead of the gentlemenbf the Wilts, Somer set and Weymouth. Mr. Brunel is made to say that the en gagements of the Great Western are very numerous. So they are, I doubt not; but Mr. Brunel did not tell the meet ing so. Mr. Hopkins said nothing about the Great Western monopolising the whole of the south coast ; nor is it evident how they can monopolise the coast at all by an internal line. 1 am, Sir, yours obediently, L RUEGG. HORRIBLE OUTRAGE. OSWESTRY, Nov. 19.—During the last few days this usually quiet little town has been disturbed by the commis sion of an outrage, for which, in some of its revolting de tails, it were difficult to find a parallel. An aged woman, named Susannah Ryder, late a paup er i n th e Ell esmere Union Workh ouse , had gone to reside with her son, a labourer, who, with his sister, occupied a cottage near Llanymynech. The mother, who is presumed to be subject to mental aberration, was at such times wholly ungovern able, and even desperate when contradicted. She had a predilection to wander from home; and it was the pre. vince of the daughter, a sickly young woman, to prevent her leaving the cottage when under the influeace of this malady. On Friday morning, the son having gone to , his employment, the old woman got up to go out, which the daughter resisted, but finding expostulation useless, she ir t. on-mounted bill-hook, t l o e c i k n e c d r e t a s h e e d t o h o e r, oid u t w t m o m g a t n h the f k u e r y y n t o se h i z er i n po g c i l i t n e several,ndeou insensibility, nphro ero bill-hook, she, at one blow, laid her helpless victim prostrat e seeded theded w head and body; but her rage did not stop there. H av i ng dragged the body of her apparently dead child i nto an floor,th savage end, whilst feroc h e y a to staintefflecft total adjoining apartment, the wretched maniac proceeded to the commission of another act of atrocity which can joining shot no further described. The inmates of an a d• • • tage having overheard theorigi nal altercation, and being aware of t Wo old woman's idisposition, knocked re peatedly at the door, but failing to obtain admittance, some e son, who, with some o f trydesinpteoratthee struggle e w h h ad en they person uwgnhedhn neighbours, uv f o re s r r young m ad made appearance forchil Rider, e t n t h aleat a taken place. In the inner apartment the body of the the eo settrruewenglwe.ithTchloetsworfetbchloedod,oaldndwheummau,an daughter was discovered, from which a stream of blood had flowed to the threshold of the door. The outer room was v d e ia r t e e d iy hu s d ee d u la r d ed. up who was th w rn as d o i fi sco. in A in brtoohemchornanedrieofo (the e s last weapon m w , ea w p a o s n imm usecr) lay near her, one end clotted with gore. Mr. Owen, a me dical gentleman, was called in, and restoratives having been copiously administered, the poor sufferer showed signs 'of life. Her wounds having been dressed, she was placed is bed, and on the following day was sufficiently recovered to be able to explain the origin of the conflict. The miserable mother has been taken before Mr. R. Aubrey, one of the Ma gistrates of the Oswestry Bench, for a preliminary examina tion. Mr. Owen, the surgeon, stated that the partial reco very of the girl was solely attributable to the powerful sti mulants administered, but he entertains no hope of saving her life. The old woman, who was remanded for further examination, betrayed a wildness of demeanour throughout the inquiry, but exhibited at the same time a degree of cun ning in answering the questions put to her, carefully abstain in admission that might crimin a te herself. The son is said to be a most industrious young man, and • has hitherto devoted all his earwigs to the maintenance o f his mother and sister. THE PRISONS AT DARTMOOR.—It is not generally known to our readers that these inhospitable prisons are kept up at a great expense to the country. Any one visiting them and not asking questions would suppose that the of veteran who exhibits them is the only person who derives any emolument from them, but we hear that they cost about 5004 a-year to keep them in repair, and there is 3004 a-year more paid to the chaplain for doing duty them—Plymouth Journal.

Barnet, the British Consul- General. His Higness's reception of the beautiful and costly present was marked by much enthusiasm, and he frequently and warmly expressed to those around him how much and deeply he felt the attention of her Britannic Majesty. The picture was exhibited in the reception room of the palace at the citadel for some days, and afterwards was removed to the harem at Shubra. The Pacha entertained Col. Barnett and some British officers and residents on the subsequent day at dinner in the city palace.: By the French steamer from Marseilles, which reached this on the 31st ult., an officer from the French Government ar rived, bearing the highest decoration of the Legion of Ho nour to the Pacha from the King of France. Mr. Rimlour, a highly respectable member of the British commercial community of this city, died from rapid liver disease on the Ist instant. Measures are at length being taken by this Government with a view towards the final adjustment of the transit of mails and passengers through Egypt. The details of the schemes have not so far been allowed to transpire, but it is expected they will soon be published. The Pacha has :issued an edict forbidding the export of corn from his territory for a period of three months, appre hending the past harvest may barely meet the consumption of the country. Trade is brisk here, especially the import operations, which, until lately, were exceedingly languid. Merchants look for ward to improved consumption, and better prices for both Manchester and Birmingham manufactures. Exchanges rate on England by this packet at 951 to 9O for good commercial paper at three months date. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) ISLE or WIGHT RAILWAY.—The promoters of Mr. Punch's pretty plaything not having succeeded in obtaining the levels of the Hot-cross-bun, have decided on deferring the undertaking for the present. It may not be generally known how exten sive the work was they had to accomplish : they had actually to obtain levels for a line of rails 15 miles in length ! MARRIAGE IN HIGH LlFE—Thursday next is said to be the day fixed for the marriage of Mr. Oglander, son and heir of Sir William Oglander, Bart., of Nunwell, Isle of Wight, to Miss Leeds, sister of Sir Joseph Leede, Bart., and of the lady of Rear-Admiral Sir Wm. Montagu. The Ajax, 72, one of the tough ones of Trafalgar and Tou lon, was towed into this harbour on Monday. She is to have her upper deck taken off by the Messrs. White, and con verted into a 50-gun steam-frigate, fitted with a screw-pro peller, and is one of a new and mu c h i m p rove d d escr i pt i on o f guardships, which are to be jury-rigged and stationed at our principal ports, to be ready to act as occasion may require them. She is to be taken into the Medina dock next spring tide. COURT CIRCULAR. Wrsnson, FRIDAY. —This being the anniversary of the Princess Royal's natal day, the Duchess of Kent arrived at thq Castle early from Frogmore House tp offer her congra tulations to the Queen and Prince Albert. Her Royal High ness remained to breakfast with the royal party. Her Majesty, accompanied by her Royal Highness the Princess Augustus of Saxe Cobourg, walked for some time in the pleasure-grounds adjoining the Castle. The Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, and the Princess Alice, were taken their early pony rides about the grounds. Prince Albert, accompanied by Prince Augustus and Lord Portman, and attended by Lieut.-Colonel Wylde, went out to hunt with his harriers this forenoon. The royal party re turned to the Castle at two o'clock. Her Majesty and her Royal Highness the Princess Augus tus of Saxe Cobourg rode out in a pony phaeton at noon, to see the hunt, followed in another carriage by Lady Port man, Madame Angelet, the Hon. Miss Devereux, and Vicount Hawarden. Lord Charles Wellesley attended on horseback. Sir Robert Peel left the Castle in the afternoon. The Right Hon. Baronet was rather hastily recalled, in consequence of the illness of the Viscountess Villiers. Sir James Clark left the Castle to-day. Lieutenant-Colonel Wylde returned to the Castle last evening, after attending his Royal Highness the Duke Fer dinand and his Serene Highness Prince Leopold of Saxe Cobourg to the place of embarkation. The illustrious party remained on board the Black Eagle in Plymouth Sound, waiting for a change of weather. The royal dinner party will include her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, Lady Anna Maria Dawson, Baroness de Speth, Sir George and Lady Couper, and Major-General Wemyss. The band of the Grenadier Guards will attend during dinner, and her Majesty's private band will afterwards attend in the evening at the Castle. The Commission of Harbours of Refuge held a meeting yesterday at Gwydyr House, Whitehall. There were present Admiral Sir Byam Martin, Sir 'Toward Douglas, Sir John Henry Pelly, Sir William Symonds, Captain Beaufort, Lieutenant-Colon e l C o l qu h oun , Captain Washington, Colonel Alderson, and Captain Brandreth. The Governor of the Bank of England and the Deputy- Governor had an interview with the Chancellor of the Ex chequer yesterday. Sir Robert Peel arrived at his residence in Whitehall gardens yesterday afternoon, returning unexpectedly from Windsor Castle. Lord Wharncliffe, Lord President of the Council, left town yesterday for St. Leonard's. Mr. Masterman and Mr. Gurney had an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer yesterday. Mr. Dean, Chair man of the Customs, had also an interview with the Right Hon. Gentleman. Sir George Clerk arrived in town on Thursday night, from Scotland. Sir Montague and Lady Choltneley arrived at Farrance's Hotel, Belgrave-street, yesterday, from their seat in Lincoln shire. Her Majesty has been graciously pleased to com mand the College of Chymists to assume the title of the Royal College of Chymistry. His Royal Highness Prince Albert has accepted the office of President of that institution, and presented it with a donation of 1001. - • DEATH OF MAJOR-GENERAL SIR BURGES CAMAC. —We have to notice the demise of the above gallant Major- General, a Peninsular officer, who died after a short illness, at Duffryn Park, the seat of Mr. Bruce Pryce, in Glamor ganshire, on Monday last. ANOTHER (RUMOURED) VACANCY A T W INDSOR . —WINDSOR, FRIDAY EvEmxa.—There appears now to be very little doubt that another vacancy in the representation of Windsor is on the eve of taking place, by the appointment of Mr. Neville to a commissionership--said to be of the Customs. It is not expected, however, that Mr. Neville will again offer hiinself to represent the borough in Parliament, but that his future labours will be exclusively devoted to the performance of the duties appertaining to his new appoint ment. It was reported this morning, that under these cir cumstances, the Hon. Mr. Lawley, an officer in the 2d regiment of Life Guards, will offer himself as soon as the vacancy has been declared by the acceptance of a Govern ment appointment by Mr. Neville. This rumour, whatever foundation it may have in fact, has been pretty generally circulated in the town since the morning. The Hon. Mr. Tollemache, likewise of the same regiment, has also been spoken of as one of the candidates, in the event of a vacancy. RAILROAD SURVEYING IN WINDSOR PARK.—A short time since a person, who was engaged in surveying one of the projected lines of railway (said to be from Great Grimsby to London ), which will (if permitted) intersect some portion of the royal domain at Windsor, was observed by her Majesty in her drive through the Long Walk into the Great Park, industriously pursuing his labours. The fact was in stanced by some three or four red flags, which had been stuck in the ground close to the carriage drive. Her Majesty, who immediately commanded the carriage in which she was riding to stop, sent one of the equerries in attendance to order the surveyor to desist. The royal command, at the time, was of course strictly attended to. The next morning, however, (but little more surveying over the royal property being re quired for the purposes of the projected company) the work was again commenced, and completed within one hour after sunrise. We understand that Mr. John Dickenson, Assistant Comptroller of the Customs, and brother of the gentleman lately deceased, who formerly held the important post of Comptroller-General, has been appointed to that office by the Lords of the Treasury. The salary of the Comptroller is 8001. fa•year. Several promotions in that particular branch of the establishment will take place in consequence of Mr. Dickenson's promotion. The New York packet ship Montezuma, Captain Lowber, reached Liverpool yesterday, after a passage of 19 1 ,E days from New York.
