By order, ALFRED BEESTON, Secretary. REMINGTON'S LINE. The leading principles of this Mutual Assurance Society are :- Ist. To charge the LOWEST PREMIUMS con'istent with perfect security, the rates being at early and middle ages, about a fourth lower than those of other mutual offices. 2d. To divide the WHOLE SURPLUS among those members from whose longer payments it has arisen; in other words, among those whose contributions, with accumulated interest, amount to the sums in their Policies. By the operation of the first of these principles, the greatest pre sent benefit is secured to all ; by the second, those who survive the average duration of life will derive the greatest future contingent advantages. The number of Policies issued since the establishment of the Society in 1837, is believed to exceed that of any other Scottish office in the same period of its existence ; and the business is steadily and rapidly increasing. Full information as to the principles and progress of the Society, with forms of proposal, may be had on application at the Head office. JAMES WATSON, Manager. Edinburgh, July, 1845.

The line has been carefully surveyed by experienced parties, and as it presents no engineering or other difficulties (the chief landowners being most favourably disposed towards it) the Directors have the fullest con fidence that the estimates for its construction, &c., will nit be ex ceeded, while the statistics of traffic are so abundant, both through and local, (a detailed statement of which may be seen at the office), as to leave no doubt on the minds of the Directors that a most sa tisfactory dividend will be realised, to arise from the large number of passengers that inuUrAobark and disembark at Southampton, to and from tho East and West Indis,• th. Mediterranean, France, the Southern States of Europe, the Channel Islands, Isle of Wight, &c., as well as the large supplies of iron, coal, slate, stone for building, flour, grain, and merchandise, constantly required to be transported to, and received at Southampton, either for use there, for exporta tion, or for the consumption in thlt, part of the interior of the country traversed by the number of railways in connexion with, or springing from, the present line. .

It appears that preparations are in progress for the renewal of hostilities in Ferozepore district after the rainy season. Military stores in great abundance were being conveyed to Jumna. From Lahore the news is, that there is now a lull in the political tempest; the Queen-Mother seems to have aban doned Ghoolab Singh, and to have appointed Jowahir Singh, her own brother, as the Wuzeer. The troops are quietly looking on, but they seem to be brooding mischief. The Khalsa troops had acquiesced in the Ranee's appoint ment of her brother Jowahir Singh as Prime Minister, or Wuzeer, he having previously been only acting as such ad interim. He was, formally invested with all the honours on the 14th ult. It was thought, however, that he would not long continue in his high office, as he was in very ill odour with the troops, who, it was suspectdd, were plotting his downfal. His rival, Ghoolab Singh, is thrown into the shad at present, and was 'supposed to contemplate a retirement to his home in the hills. Nothing was said of hostile move ments against the British, and it was probable that so long as Jowahir Singh remained at the head of affairs, and his sister possessed the rather remarkable power she had for some time exercised over the army, no more would be heard of the threatened invasion.

According to the accoun:s we have received from Airgha nistan, the Ameer had given up his intention of seizing Pe shawur, moved thereto by his wish to leave the Seiks unem barrassed in their threatened conflict with the British, whom he would not like as neighbours settled in the Punjaub. By the latest reports, however, it would appear, that even if Dost Mahomed had given up his hostile designs, his son and Wuzeer, Akbar Khan, was still bent on the attack. Sir C. Napier's recent advance against the robber tribes in Upper Sinde seemed to have greatly alarmed the chiefs of Candahar, who imagined he was about to pay them a visit. One of them, it was said, hastened to Caubul to request the Ameer's intercession with the British Government. There had been a counter-revolution in Nepaul. The fa mous chief Matabur Singh, whose influence enabled the old King's son to force his father to abdicate in his favour, had been assassinated. He was admitted to a private audience with the old King, and shot dead in the royal presence. Deprived of this powerful friend and supporter, the young man had become a mere cipher; the father had resumed the government, and affairs had reverted to the position which they occupied before the 10th of December last. The disputes at Lucknow remain, we believe, unadjusted. It would be a happy thing for the people of Oude if they should terminate in some arrangement which would give the British Government a more powerful voice in that country. We have news from China to the Bth of April, the most important item of which is that detailing an attack made by a mob of Chinese on Mr. Montgomery Martin, the Rev. V. Stanton, the colonial chaplain, and Mr. Jackson, the Vice- Consul, while walking round the walls of Canton. These gentlemen were hustled, struck, and robbed, but fortunately escaped without serious injury. The Governor of Hong- Kong had demanded redress for this infraction of the treaty. There was a rumour of some disturbances at Amoy, but nothing certain was known of their nature or extent; even their existence was only surmised from the fact of a steamer having been hurriedly dispatched thither from Hong-Kong. The long desiderated augmentation in the number of Artillery officers in the three Presidencies had, at length, been ordered by the Supreme Government. Bengal was to have an addition of 46 officers, being one-half of the entire in crease—two Colonels, two Lieutenant-Colonels, two Majors, 10 Captains, 20 Lieutenants, and 10 Second -Lieutenants. The promotions were to have effect from the 3d of July, To adapt the Artillery regiment to this increase of officers, it was to be re-organized after the following manner :—The Horse Artillery was to remain unaltered. The five bat talions, each of five companies of European Foot Artillery, were to be made into six battalions, of four companies each. The two battalions of Native Foot Artillery, each of ten companies, were to become three battalions, of six companies each. The mess-house of the 2d European Regiment at Sukkur had been burned down, and 10,000 tupees' worth of mess pro perty, exclusive of an English billiard-table, the only one in Sinde, destroyed. A duel, attended by serious consequences, had occurred at one of the up-country stations, between two officers of a na tive regiment. r PHE STAFFORDSHIRE POTTERIES and LIVERPOOL and MANCHESTER DIRECT RAILWAY. The new duties came into operation on the 2d of June. They will produce a large profit on existing stocks, which may amount, perhaps, to half a million sterling, and this will reconcile a great many persons who were originally opposed to their imposition. At Bombay the hot weather has prevailed, and to a fearful extent, during the last few days before the departure of the mail. There is no appearance of the rains setting in. The cholera has begun its ravages here, at Panwell, and at Poona and all through the country, and great apprehensions are afloat ofits extension, unless the monsoon comes to cool the atmosphere, and to afford a supply of good water, which is much wanted in this island. (Provisionally Registered.) The object of this railway is to open a direct communication trona the Staffordshire Potteries northwards with Liverpool, Manchester, and the north of England, Scotland, and southward with Bristol, London, and the south of England. The line will commence at Stafford, and proceed through the heart of the Potteries, giving the best and most ample accommodation to Stoke Longton, New castle, Stoke Hanley, Burelem, and the whole of the Pottery district, whence it will pass betwixt Cengleton and Sandbach, through Knutsford direct to Altrincham, where it will join the South Junction Railway to Manchester, an Act for which has been obtained. A branch northwards, from the Potteries to Crewe, will connect the line with Chester and Birkenhead; and branches from Knutsford on the one hand, through Northwich to Preston Brook, and on the other to the Cheadle station of the Manchester and iiirmlngham Railway, will open a communication between the Salt districts and the Pot teries, Liverpool, Hull, and the eastern ports of England. The advantages of this railway will be very great to a large and most important extent of country, hitherto totally unprovided with railway communication, and will be more fully detailed in a future Prospectus, which, with Maps and the names of an influential pro visional Directory, will be issued with as little delay as possible. The surveys and estimates are in the course of completion, and no parks or ornamentals grounds will be interfered with. Parties interested in the undertaking may communicate with the solicitors, Messrs. J. and T. Roscoe, Knutsford; and W. Burdett, Esq., Manchester. 16th July, 1845. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Calcutta Price Current, June 2.) No very material alteration has taken place in our markets since the 10th ult., for, although the accounts received by the mail which left England on the 7th of April were anything but favourable with regard to the position of the home markets for most of our staple products, still the reduced stocks in the bazaar (caused by the low state of the up country rivers stopping the progress of all large boats), has enabled the native holders in most instances to main tain nearly former rates, and although for a short time after the letters were delivered the market was inactive, it has since im proved, and there is now a good steady business in several of the principal staples. Imports have again been in a most unsatisfactory state, and not withstanding that holders would (in consequence of the rather more favourable ruling of exchange) be willing to operate freely at former rates, they have not been met by dealers, who have not shown the slightest desire to lay in stock, caused probably In a measure by their attention having of late been a good deal occupied by opium speculations, and also by the large sums of money taken out of the market by the Government sale, and in consequence transactions have been on a much more limited scale than is cus tomary at this season ; and should the effect usually caused by the opening of the rivers not shortly manifest itself, we do not sec any prospect of dealers submitting to an advance equivalent to the en hanced rates of duty, which came into operation yesterday, and cannot therefore look forward to any immediate improvement. Notwithstanding that the Hon. Company are still advancing on goods shipped through them at Is. 10d. per rupee, and that parties have availed themselves thereof to the extent of 635,851 Company's rupees, or 58,286/., during the past month, we still find a super fluity of bills in the market, and the rate has again advanced. Since writing the above, we have noticed in the Government Gazette of the 31st ultimo, the following paragraph, which we annex, as likely very considerably to affect the ruling of our ex change on England for some time to come:— Red Sea, Bombay, and Gulfs 1,957 All other parts avo - —/r eV s• - e' We may hewcrer here remit, t t:e rat _ V L 8 is that we dre shortly to have s„,heroy gala, * and also an carte ~.o.la • ttk-- t-• 1 7 ; . ‘ c t: d high inundation.

There have of late been several parcels of very superior European manufacture in the market, for which the high price of 19 to 13 rupees per maund, according to quality, has been readily paid. In Khaur the e has not been quite so much doing, but good dry and superior sorts have been placed at 6 rupees per maund; thee, however, have been of a quality seldom procurable in the bazaar. Exports to Great Britain in May amounted to 137,905 maunds. Saltpetre—A large business has been done in this staple during the past month for all parts, but low Chuprah and 6!4azeepi , re sorts being abundant, were a shot t time since obtainable at some what under former rates ; the decline in freights to Great Britain has, however, caused'an inerea , ed demand, and we now quote all descriptions much the same a, at the date of our last ; st.ipments to England continue to go forward freely, and dining the past three months have been considerably more than double those of tie corresponding period of 1844. Raw Silk—ln consequence of heavy arrivals from the Mofussil the holders of this staple have at last been induced to submit to a decline on their previous demands, and this bond having generally speaking proved of very superior quality, buyers have come for ward more freely ; still, however, our market does not exhibit any. thing like the activity which is usually observable at this season, owing to the prevalence of an opinion that the home market has not even as yet seen its lowest, and that Bengal silk will be still further affected by the heavy shipments from China. In Jungypore and Bauleah sorts a very considerable decline has taken place, and we would quote these descriptions full Ir. to Ir. Ba. per seer lower than the same qualities were worth three months since, whilst even at this reduction they were difficult of sale. The same may be said in some degree of Hurrypaul and Radnagore, but in these the de cline has not as yet been so decided or so generally submitted to; but holders are showing more anxiety to realise, and prices have a decided downward tendency. Silk Piece Goods—But little change has taken place in these fabrics during the past month, except, perhaps, even greater indisposition being manifested to operate in low and even medium makes of Corahs, which have forthn declined in value, while first.rate cloths have fully maintained former rates, and are in good demand, but seldom procurable. Choppahs and Bandannas, except of most inferior descriptions, are scarcely ever offered for sale here, and we are not aware of any sales during the past month. _ Rice—The numerous arrivals and limited amount of dead weight in the bazaar making a further decline in freights probable, there has been a gond deal of animation in this market, and large pur chases of table have been effected at a slight advance on former rates. Shipments to Great Britain go forward freely, and shipping orders to a large-extent have been granted during the past week at 51. per ton. Ballam and Moonghy maintain former quotations, but we have not heard of any very extensive purchases of late. Oil Seeds—Mustard has been in good inquiry, and several sales have been effected without alteration in value. Linseed c„ntinues scarce, and bought up for America, at prices considerably above what parties are inclined to Rive for the English market. Rum—We hear of a sale at 7 annas per gallon, but there is at present but little inquiry for the article, and manufacturers keep up prices by shipping on their own account. Exports to Great Britain in May amounted to 60,029 gallons. Shell Lac and Lac Dye—Shell lac has been more inquired fbr, and several parcels have changed hands, principally for France. Fine Mirzapore has brought from 13r. to 14r. 12a. per maund, and Beerbhoom from Br. Ba. to 9r. 83. In lac dye there has not been much doing, the stock of native marks being much reduced, and Eta opean manufacture being held at a high figure. Iron—ln this metal we may almost say there has been notbing doing, or at all events whatever has changed hands has been on speculation; for we are not aware of a single purchase having been made on account of up -country orders, and therefore, although nominal. we quote prices higher, they must b e looked upon as Spelter—For this also we have to quote a dull market. it being impo►sible to effect sales without submitting to a decline;even on the present low quotations. * • Coloured and Printed Goods—Under this head we have n• change to notice. Prints have, if anything, been less wanted, but Turkey red cloths, both twill and plain, have continued in request without alteration in value. ~; Woollens—Woollens of almost every description continue ne. glected, and, although we believe prices have not altered, 'sales have again been quite unimportant. White Mule Twist—Arrivals having of late been numerous, we have to notice a decline having been submitted to of from 1 to I* pice per morah, but at this there has been a fair amount of busi. ness transacted. Coloured Yarn—No material alteration is noticeab'e in prices, and sales to some extent have been effected. Turkey red, British dye, has brought from Company's Ir. Pa. to Ir. Oa. 3p. per lb., and German from Company's Ir. 10a. 6p. to Jr. 12a. per lb. Green has been placed at 12a., and orange at 12a. Ip. Copper—During the past month the sales effected have been to a molt insignificant extent and principally for local purposes, the native dealers continuing to manifest the least possible desire to purchase. Our quotations are much the same as before, but could not be obtained to any extent. Lead and Tin Plates—ln these articles there has not been much doing, and lead has somewhat declined in value. Tin plates have, however, slightly improved in price, a sale having been effected at Company's rupees 15-4 per box. Beer—The large shipments coming to hand have induced it"- porters to submit to a slight decline. Sales have of late been chiefly confined to Allsopp's and Bass's, and within the past fort night nearly 600 hhds. of the former have been disposed of at rupees 61 and 62. Bass, from being held by several parties, has further declined, and there are, we understand, sellers as low as ell rupees, although we have not heard of sales under 58. EXCHANGE. When operations for the present opportunityAommenced buyers acted with extreme caution, and good paper ITS let off at Is. I lid., or even a shade higher; latterly, Loweier, drawers having shown more firmness, and the rate has declined to Is. 11 id. to Is. Hid. per rupee, the former being an extreine rate. The rumour which has for some time past been current, that Government were about to close the export warehouse for ad. vances, and which must have had some effect on the ruling of our exchange, is set at rest by a notification which appears in the Gazette of the 31st ultimo, to the effect that the amount BM re. quired by Government is no less than 457,8711., for which amount they are prepared to take bills at the present rate of Is. 10d. per rupee, and as from the time they announced this pre viously (22d January), up to the end of May, the amount drawn was only about 320,0001., it is evident that there is no chance of this being filled up for some months to come. - ISLE of JERSEY RAILWAY and PIER COMPANY.

The undertaking combines the advantages of both the British and the foreign railwny system, free from their several defects. 1. The law authorising its construction will be passed by the States of Jersey, and confirmed by the Privy Council, without the interven tion of the British Parliament, thus avoiding the cost, risk, and delay of compliance with the standing orders of the two Houses, and of a prolonged Parliamentary inquiry and opposition. 2. The line will be vested in the Company in perpetuity, and not, as in foreign lines, for a mere term of years. There will be no ri valry of competing companies, rendering it necessary to propose the lowest possible terms, as the promoters have received such assurances of support as warrant them in entertaining the most confident expec tations of obtaining a most favourable grant from the States in the course of the present year. 3. The traffic, which has been recently taken, is unusually large, and there is every reason to believe that a return of 14 per cent. on the outlay may be calculated upon, as the works will be unusually light and inexpensive, and the landowners favourable. When it is considered' that the port of St. Heller ranks the sixth in the United Kingdom, and that this undertaking will command the greater part of the traffic to this country, as well as to St. Malo and France, the time occupied on the passage to and from England being thus re duced from 17 to seven hours, it is clear that the passenger and light goods' traffic must be at once unusually large, and susceptible of very considerable increase. Arrangements will be made for ensuring a cheap and improved communication between Southampton, Wey mouth, Torquay, and Plymouth, within the time specified. No subscriber will be liable beyond the amount of his shares, and four per cent. will be allowed on deposits and calls till the completion of the works. For further particulars the public is referred to the prospectuses, which maybe obtained of the Secretary, F. Struve, Esq., 1, Gray's Inn-aquae , and Messrs.

The Railway for which this Company has obtained a concession, will join the main Belgian line from Charleroi to Namur and Liege, at some point near or between the two former towns, and will run through the whole province of Luxembourg, in the Direction of Dinant, Neufchateau, and Arlon, to Luxembourg, with a branch to Thionville and Metz, at which latter city it will join the Paris and Strasbourg Railway. The whole will be about 140 miles in length. It will thus unite all the Belgian railways with those of Francs ; and if the direction of the various great lines in those two countries, from Belgium to Lille, Valenciennes, Dunkirk, and Calais be examined, it will be seen that the Luxembourg Railway will thus form by far the shortest, and, consequently, the quickest and cheapest route from those countries, and from England to Metz, Strasbourg, Rhenish Prussia, the Rhine (South), Baden, Wurtemburg, and the ether im portant districts of the North-East and East of France, and of the South of Germany, and also to the Eastern parts of Switzerland and Italy. At its northern extremity, this railway must receive a large proportion of the immense goods' traffic proceeding from Holland, Belgium, and the other countries north, by the river Meuse mid the Belgian railways and canals which centre in that district from Antwerp, Ostend, Brussels, Ghent, Bruges, and other Belgian provinces, and join those of France on one side, and on the other those, of Germany and Holland ; thus forming continuous lines of communication with them all. Looking next to the south, a railway is to be made (as a branch to the Paris and Strasbourg Railway) from Metz to the extensive coal-field at Sarrebruck, and another is projected to Manheim, on the Rhine. At Thionville and Metz, the Luxembourg line will meet the large passenger and goods traffic on the Moselle, to and from the Rhine at Coblentz, which the establish ment of steamers on the Moselle, is daily and rapidly Increasing. Much of the great transit trade now going by the /Rhine through Holland is also likely to take this route through Antwerp or Calais, in consequence of the great difficulty, delay, and expense of ascending the Rhine between Strasbourgh and Bale. There is likewise a considerable local traffic in passengers and goods in the districts through which the railway will pass, and nu merous fairs are held there. They abound in timber, corn, wine, mines of every description—iron, copper, lead, manganese, antimony, &c. ; rock-salt, limestone, plaster, slate quarries (which supply the whole provinCe, and export to a large extent to other countries)—and they contain numerous tanneries, salt-works, and all the smelting and other establishments to which mineral productions give rise. There are 28 blast-furnaces in the province of Namur, and 41 in that of Luxembourg, which all draw tin-ore from the Luxembourg mines. Besides the local consumption of iron, about 70,000 ' tons are annually exported. On the other hand, Luxembourg imports from Belgium large quantities of glass, manufactured goods, colonial produce, spirits, zinc, marble, and building-stone, coal, &c. The importation of coal from the Belgian coal-field, at the north end of the line, and from Sarrebruck, at its southern extremity, would increase to a very large extent, both for fuel and for burning lime, smelting ore, and other manufacturing purposes, as soon as an improved means of conveyance is introduced, instead of the present slow and expensive one of carting, which keeps that article at a high price. One part of these districts contains fine limestone, while the other wants it ; and the slates would find a largely increased sale in Belgium, Holland, and France. The wealth, fertility, and population of the department of the Moselle, in which the southern terminus of this railway will be situated, are too well known to need comment. In 1828 a powerful Belgian and Dutch Company, called the " Societe du Luxembourg," undertook to carry out the great national objects—let, ofuniting the rivers Meuse and Moselle, and of thus af fording a perfect and continuous means of communication through the whole length of the province of Luxembout g, by completing the line of navigation from the Meuse at Liege to the Moselle, near Lux embourg and Treves ; and 2dly, of bringing into active production the great mineral wealth of this province, which had remained dor mant for want of proper means of conveyance. For these purposes the Luxembourg Company was endowed with a perpetual grant and almost unlimited powers. In accordance with this project, the Com pany commenced operations at the Liege end, and proceeded with great vigour and success, until all was stopped by the Belgian revolution of 1530. National jealousy or other circumstances have since prevented the resumption of the scheme. The river Ourthe, which flows into the Meuse, and was the commencement of the proposed line of navigation, had, however, been considerably im proved by the Company, and an important local traffic, amounting io about 70,000 tens per annum, is now established there, from which the Luxembourg Company has derived a handsome and increasing return for the money expended. This Company had also obtained the grant of three valuable mining localities, previous to the revolution of 1830 ; namely, the grant of the lead, copper, and iron mines at Burburg, of the the lead mines of Maizeret, and of the. manga nese mines of Bihain. Several other grants had been applied for, and were pending, but the matter has since remained in abeyance from the circumstances already mentioned. The grant of Burburg extends over seven parishes, and 19,308 statute acres ; 24,000 tons of ironore had already been extracted previous to 1830, and about as much iron in 1839 and 1840, when the works were resumed. In 1842 these mines were let for twenty years to another company, who undertook to produce at least 1000 cubic yards of rough ore per annum, and who are actively working the mines. The Luxembourg Company receives a royalty or farm-rent of the tenth of the produce. The grant of the Maizeret lead mines extends over 630 acres. From the result of the borings and excavations made, these mines are con sidered very valuable, and they have the advantage of being close to the Meuse river and to the high-road from Namur to Liege. The concession of Bihain extends over 1614 acres, and promises to be come one of great value ; 600 tons of manganese had already been extracted when the works had to be suspended in 1830. The com pany had also already expl red several valuable mininglocalities, pro ducing baryte,(from one of which mines 530 tons were extracted,) rock salt, antimony, lead, copper, iron, and other minerals, of which it had applied for grants under the powers and intent of its charter. A large number of quarries were likewise opened by the Company, and continue to be worked. It possesses property in Brussels, including a large mansion and premises, where its offices are situated. In order to become possessed of the extensive powers granted to the Luxembourg Company, and thus to obtain the entire command of the intercourse and mining property in that province and the ad joining districts, this Company will have to purchase the shares and rights of the Company above-mentioned, including of course the canal, mines, and 'all its other property, interests and privileges, for the sum of 219,0001. As the railway will effect the purposes of con veyance and communication through Luxembourg, for which the canal was projected, it is now intended (and it is in accordance with the charter) to complete the line of navigation only from the Meuse at Liege to La Roche ; of which the estimated cost is under 400,0001. ; by this means the railway and navigation cannot clash, as they will start from and run through quite different districts. It will be reserved for future consideration whether the canal shall eventually be joined to the railway by a branch canal or railway from La Roche, or whether it shall be continued in any other direction. In the meantime the local traffic alone will be sufficient to produce a hand some return on the capital to be Invested, it being estimated upon a careful and moderate calculation to yield a net profit of about eight per cent. on the capital required. It may not be generally known that the Belgian canals give a net profit of from Six to fourteen per cent., and the Charleroi and Brussels Canal, which was conceded to a company in 1826, is paying ten and a half per cent. on the capital. In addition to the great mineral traffic above described, the canal will cross several extensive forests; whence large quantities of tim ber and wood will be sent for ship and house-building, fuel, and other purposes, for which it is constantly in great demand. The concession of the railway is already obtained from the Go vernment, for a lease of ninety years from the date of its completion. The other conditions are equally favourable. The tariff is about thirty per cent. higher for passengers than that of the Belgian railways, being about the same, both for passengers and goods as that of France, while it is much more advantageous in many other respects. The Government is to give, without charge, all the land required for the railway, wherever it crosses the crown lands, and it is to use its authority and influence to induce parishes and individuals to do the same. No government or other tax or ditty is ever to be im posed upon eltghlerailway, railways n in th nor is anye direction lineril of this tobeale one lowe through d Luxembourg, tostart from the for at least twelve years. The " concessionaires," or lessees of this railway, or their representatives are to have the pre ference of all branch lines which may hereafter be proposed in con nexion with it. The cost of construction is expec'ed to be considerably under the average of the Belgian lines, the best proof of which is to be found in the circumstance that the Government engages to release the lessees, to return them the caution money, and to pay them for their ex penses of surveys, &c., if the estimate of cost now being made by the Government engineers should exceed the average cost of 800,000 francs per Belgian league (about 10,1001. per English mile), for a singla line of rang, but with the land, earth-works, and masonry for a double line. The working of the railway is also likely to be very cheap, to which a coal-field at each end of it, and the consequently low price of coke, will much contribute. From all the circumstances already stated, and careful inquiries into the traffic, there can be no doubt that this line of railway will yield a very handsome return upon the capital required. In the allotment, due consideration will be shown proprietors of shares in the adjoining undertakings of the Sambre and Meuse, Lou vain and Jemappe, and Namur and Liege Railway Companies.

The person alluded to is a gentleman of large estate and great influence in the county of Armagh. No one need suffer very long from piles, fistula, and what is termed " a bearing down, " if they have recourse to these far famed remedies.

NATIONAL EXHIBITION OF MANUFACTURES.—WE mentioned some time ago that the committee of the Society of Arts, Adelphi, proposed to establish an exhibition of the pro. ducts of British industry. Besides the delight and instruction which would be afforded, it may fairly be expected that A. periodical competition of this nature will exert some beneficial effect on the progress of the arts ; not only by exciting honourable rivalry in the producers, but by en abling the consumers better to appreciate real ex cellence. The present moment seems particularly auspicious for making such an attempt. The triumphant suc cess of two especially British products, the railway and the locomotive, has so united the remotest parts of these islands, that the exhibition, though taking place in the metropolis, would be rendered available to all persons in all places ; and would therefore be divested of much of that exclu siveness which might otherwise be objected to such a scheme. Without entering into details, it may be stated, that the plan embraces the exhibition not merely of pro ducts, but of the instruments of production in actual work—the facility, rapidity, precision, and economy of the act of fabrica tion, being often much more wonderful than the fabric itself. In carrying out these ideas, it is intended entirely to exclude all private, personal, and political objects. It is hoped that the plan may be preserved so free from objection on these points, as to command the approbation of all ranks, and rs tify its pro moters in anticipating the highest patronage.—'he Builder. " NOTIFICATION. " Notice is hereby given, that the sum to be provided in India during the official year 1845-6 for the service of the Honourable East India Company in London, by bills of exchange, to be se. cured by the hypothecation of goods, has been fixed at 800,0001. sterling. " It is Further notified for general information, that of the sum of 800,0001. sterling, required from India during the past year, 1844-5, only 272,579/. sterling have been raised by bills upon England, and that, deducting supplies received from other sources, a balance of 457,8711. remains to be provided, which it may be ne cessary to add to the demand for the current year. " The rate of exchange at which bills are to be drawn will con tinue to be ls. 10d. per Company's rupee until further notice. In all other respects the existing term and conditions of advances to be made by the Governments of Bengal, Madras, and Bombay, will remain in force, and be the same as advertised in the Calcutta Gazelle under dates the Ist of April, 1842, and 23d of August, 1844.—May 31." Indigo—ln our last we stated that, generally speaking, the ac counts of the crops were favourable, although some of the easterly districts (Dacco, Mymunsingh, and Furredpore) had been forced to delay the commencement of manufacture by heavy rains ; these, however, have since been in full work, but the produce during the first week was most miserable, the plant being scarcely ripe, and only cut for fear of inundation; whereas, could the planters have expected the rivers to keep so IoW, they would have delayed a week more, which would have increased the produce as well as im proved the quality. Within the past fortnight, however, it has much improved, and they have ere this secured the greater portion of their low lands, but are now again complaining of want of water for manufacturing purposes. From Jessore, Kishnagur, Rajeshaye, Moorshedabad, Nuddea, Burdwan, and Rungpore, accounts are good, whilst from Bhagul. pore and Purneah they are for a bumper. Tirhoot is much the same as at the date of our last, but still Will not turn out so much as is looked for, the cultivation having, in some parts, been curtailed, and many concerns having suffered considerably from drought and hot winds. So that, a l t h ou gh some have a full crop, others have only 10, an d some as little as 5 annaansd. Shahabad, Ghazeepore, Benaies, Mirzapore, Gorucaknp d "e s ' hould Azimghur, have, generally speaking, good prospects, month, a the rains set in (as they generally do) by the 20tH of a quarter more this great many concerns are expected to send sof the blue; but eason, when a single down than last year. Such are the present pro s p ec ts we ate now approaching the most dangerous a, night may (as it has frequently don e ) cause a very considerable falling off in the expectations of the Be n gal planters, although it must be acknowledged there is not at p resent an y signs of an in uti . dation, and, should the ri vers kee p down for twent y da y s more, all the banks of the Bhaugurutty and Poddah will b e enabled to cut their low lands ; whilst, should the inundation b e late, or (as is some times the case ) the seaso n pass without it, a the concerns on great many will have second cuttings, and in this case it is impos. sible to say to what amount the produce of the season may be ex. tended. _ We understand that many parties have already formed their opinions as to the probable out-turn of the coming season, and although we still hold this to be extremely premature, we should say with pretty favourable weather the plant on the ground is capa ble of yielding from 140,000 to 150,000 =Linda, but at the same time it is quite possible that this figure may be exceeded or de creased by 20,000 maunds, according to the weather experienced during the next two months. MONEY MARKET. Considerable tightness has of late been manifested, which wilt, we fear, be increased as the time approaches for taking delivery of the opium purchased on the 26th inst. Government Securities have generally declined in ►a'ue, but Bank Stock maintains former quotations. Jute—We have heard of a few sales at Sr. per bale, but the principal shipments continue on native account, and have been going forward freely; shipping orders have, we understand, been granted as low as 41. per ton, and in this case we think exports will continue heavy for some time to come. Hides, Horns, and Tips—Hides have, since our last, been dull of sale, and prices have declined, especially for middling and inferior qualities, of which the stocks are heavy ; nor do we at present see any prospect of improvement. Shipments, however, show no falling off. Buffalo horns have been in extensive demand for dun nage, but, although shipments have been heavy, prices have very slightly varied. In deer horns and tips there has ben scared) any. thing doing during the month, and prices are cs before. Safflower, Munjeet, Ginger, and Turmeric.--Safflower has con tinued in brisk demand, especially the finer descriptions of Patter ghatta, which have been rather scarce, the arrivals of late having, generally speaking, proved of inferior quality. Munjeet has sold at 7r. 4a., for shipment to Great Britain. Ginger in no demand, except for America, and even for that part there has not been much doing lately. Turmeric has sold to some extent for France at 2r. per maund. Cowries, Tincal, and Cutch—We have net heard of any sales of cowries, but shipments are still going forward to Great Britain. Tincal has sold to a moderate extent at about 13r. 4a. per md. Cutch has been in inquiry for France, and we hear of sales at from 6r. 10a. to 7r. per md. Opium—The fourth Government sale of the season was held on the 26th ult., with the following result, viz.:— Chests. Average Proceeds Company's Rupees. Patna 1,775 ... 1,574 4 0 ... 27,94,300 Benares B5O -.. 1,462 2 9 ... 12,42,850 These prices were somewhat above what were anticipated, and were obtained in consequence of immense speculation amongst the native dealers, who were the principal buyers. Since the sale prices have not materially varied, and we now quote Patna at Company's rupees 1,590, and Benares 1,460, per chest. Shipments have been to a very limited extent, and the stock now remaining in the Company's godown consists of 3,869 chests of Patna, and 1,634 of Benares. Cotton—The last accounts from China were considered rather more favourable for some descriptions of this staple, but still trans actions here are to a very moderate extent, and shipments to China are light. ALEXANDRIA. JULY 10.—On the 30th of June the French war steamer Gomer, having on board his Royal Highness the Duke de Montpensier, arrived at this port from Algiers and Tunis, at which place his Highness stopped to visit the chapel of St. Louis. The ostensible object of the Prince in coming here is to visit Mehemet till and Upper Egypt, but his Highness has chosen the very worst season of the year for ascending the Nile, as, besides the excessive heat, the river at present has throughout its course the very unpicturesque appearance of a dirty ditch between embankments 15 feet high. During his stay at Alexandria the Prince resided at the palace of Said Pacha, called the Gabareh, and was the object of the most assiduous attentions on the part of Mehemet Ali, who had just received intelligence of the very gracious re ception recently given to his suns at Paris by Louis Philippe, and therefore he appears to hare been doubly anxious to re turn the compliment, by gratifying in every way the wishes of the Duke de Montpensier. The Pacha called on the Prince the day of his arrival and on the morrow the Prince returned the visit, and was received by Mehemet Ali at his palace at Ras El Teen with every mark of respect, the Viceroy coming out as far as the ante-chamber to meet him. It was noticed that in the t c h o a u t r s the e o fptheire shouldconv ers v a i t s i i o t n a n t d h e g ) v a e c h h i a s h e p x i h p i r o e h s s o e pressed t a h e wi s ex h Palace,ot; h e n n e s i t v toh e ey n 2h e bde yr where haaeaPrince fortifications croiesntcße Bey, French h iinn pe t t(lu a o t are with s rce repast, a slh e o i en ng t ,eyl in e oc r ef e r c toh t o Viceroy at aE r tu unrhoid.

The Duke de Montpensier started for Cairo and Upper Egypt on the 7th, in one of the Pacha's steamers, accompanied by Said Pacha, the French Consul, and several of Mehemet Ali's servants, who are to facilitate the Prince's journey by every means in their power. We have had no recent intelligence from Syria, but some English travellers who have arrived here by the desert de sci ibe that country as being in a very disturbed state, and they had been under considerable apprehensions from the Druses, who were roving in quest of plunder and intent upon pillaging all travellers who came within their reach. The' accounts brought by these travellers are necessarily very imperfect, as all communication in the country had been, stopped, and they were not aware of the actual state of things. SUNDERLAND ELECTION.—The Morning Post, which may be considered a good authority on such a subject, an. nounces that Mr. Joseph John Wright has declined being put in nomination for Sunderland, and that the Conservatives do not in. tend proposing any other candidate. The contest will, therefore, be between Mr. Bagshaw and Colonel Thompson. ril..
