Lord Moncreiff presided in the absence of the Lord Justice-Clerk, who was engaged hearing a civil case in the Second Division of the Court of Session. Peter Pearson, lately residing at Juniper-green, in the county of Edinburgh, was placed at the bar, charged with murdering George Wilson, surgeon, and Jean Ritchie or Wilson, at Juniper-green, on the night of the 17th or morning of the 18th March last. The prisoner, who is a stout-built robust man, ap parently between forty and fifty years of age, was placed manacled at the bar, and was carefully guarded by three police-officers. Hei wore a morose and sullen aspect, and, with his head sunk forward on his breast, he manifested not the slightest interest in the pro ceedings, and appeared utterly unconscious of what was going on. Mr. Dees, Mr. Montgomery Bell, and Mr. Mait land appeared for the Crown ; and Mr. Robert Robertson and Mr. G. R. Ogilvie for Pearson. On the prisoner being placed at the bar, Mr. Robertson, on his behalf, pleaded insanity in bar of trial. He stated that he had known the pri soner—who had been a tenant of his—for upwards of ten years, and so far as his judgment entitled him to form an opinion, the prisoner had been an insane person, ever since he knew him. In the year 1838 he took up the religious notion, founded upon an o n f don his father's house a a passage of Scripture, thateHr erroneous on accordingly s interpretationought lteort ab his fath er an d hi s f am ily, and never again returned , to the house. After leaving his home in 1838, he supported himself till 1843, when, he came to him (Mr. Robertson), as his immediate landlord, for the purpose of calling upon him to protect him against some imaginary encroach ments upon his property, but finding then untenable, he (Mr. Robertson) had declined to do anything in the matter. On that occasion he became perfectly furious, and he was in consequence. sent to the Asylum at Morningside. He remained -in and was liberated on a medical certificate, in the that institution for two years and eight months, autumn of 1846. Since that period Pearson had never supported himself, and had never been able to settle at any business or trade. He was originally a mason, but he had been entirely supported by his fa mily. In March last the events recorded in the in dictment took place; and he trusted to be able to prove that on the 18th of March he was perfectly insane, and that he was still in that condition. Professor Miller was then called in, and stated that he (Professor Miller) had no doubt that he was at that moment a dangerous madman. Dr. Spittal thought him a dangerous madman. Lord Moncrieff said he supposed that the Court could come to no other conclusion than that the pri soner at the bar was not a fit person to go to trial on the charge against him. Lords Cockburn and Ivory concurred. The deliverance of the Court was then read, to the effect that as the prisoner at the bar was not a proper object for trial, the diet be deserted pro loco et tens pore ; and that he be conveyed to the prison of Edin burgh, and taken thence to the general prison at Perth, to be there detained subject to the future orders of the Court. The prisoner was then removed from the bar.— Edinburgh Advertiser. FIRES AND LOSS OF LIFE. A very alarming and destructive fire broke out shortly before daybreak on Saturday morning in the premises belonging to Mr. J. B. Spencer, a carpenter and builder, carrying on business at No. 50, Jamaica street, Commercial-road-East. M r. Spencer, his wife, and family, made an attempt- to front-door. While in the act of opening the door the flames completely prostrated the proprietor . i escape by the and one of his sons. Their cries for assistance having reached the constable, he forthwith broke open the door, and succeeded in saving the lives of the whole of the resi dents. Mr. Spencer, however, and a boy, were se verely burnt. Owing to the inflammable nature of the stock within the building, the house was, in less than a quarter of an hour in flames from bottom to• top, and before an engine had time to get to the scene the two houses on either side, occupied res pectively by Mr. S. D. Jones, a butcher (No. 49), and Mr. W. H. Halsey, a painter and Glazier (No. 51), had taken fire. For some time the destruction of the greater part of the street appeared certain, and the residents commenced removing their furniture to a more distant place for protection. Fortunately an abundant, supply of water-was obtained from the East London Company's mains, from which the firemen, under the direction of Mr. Fogo, the dis• trict foreman, set their engines to play, and they eventually succeeded in extinguishing the flames, but not until Mr. Spencer's property, including the work shops behind his dwelling, were all but destroyed, and the premises of Mr. Jones, the butcher, and Mr. Halsey, the painter, &c., muc h b urn t, and the furni ture belonging to both parties severely damaged by hasty removal. Mr. Spencer was insured in the Union Fire-office, Mr. Jones was insured in the same, and Mr. Halsey was s i m il ar l y protec t e d by an assurance i n the Phoenix Fire-office. On Saturday afternoon the neighbourhood of Tooley-street, South wark, was painfully excited owing to a fire, which unfortunately was attended w i t h a l oss o f lif e , break ing out in the private residenc e o f Mr. H. Bunn, No. wearing 11, Brook-square, in the b e f ore - men ti one d s treet. The cause of this fire has b een t race d t o a spark flying from the grate in the fir s t-fl oor f ron t, an d set ting of apparel in flames. At years of age unfortu nately happened to be in the r oom , an d b e f ore h e could run away the flames encircl e d hi s b o d y , an d h e that tng period a na n a boy about four fell in the midst of them. S evera l persons on see i ng the smoke issuing from the wi n d ow an d h ear i ng t h e sc reams of the poor in child rushed up t o ren d er assist ance ; they succeeded . confining the fire to that p ar t of the house in which commenced, but the child was burnt almost,to a cind er . A me di ca l gent l eman was soon in attendance, but not in time to be of any assistance, life being quite extinct. The Most NoMe the Marquis of Northampton, F.R.S., F.S.A., &c.

An ther Branch will be opened in Islington, near the Angel, as soon as the premises have undergone the necessary alterations. TERMS OF BUSINESS : Deposit Accounts—Three per cent. will be credited daily on all deposits for six months of If. and upwards, and the interest paid monthly, or accumulated half-yearly, at the option of the de positor, for every sum not then drawn, and which in such cases will for the next period of six months form together an -increased principal sum bearing interest at three per cent.; and if not then drawn, be again accumulated as above for the next half-yearly period, and so on progressively, compounding the interest half-yearly. But in any particular case of need, the Directors will, it the circumstances justify an exception to their rules, repay the whole or any part of the depo.it. The Directors having by the Charter the peculiar privilege of gra dually Increasing the capital, will, whoa new shares are being alloted, give a preference, after the existing shareholders, to depositors who may wish to become proprietors; according to the priority of their applications, allowing, until a dividend be declared, three per cent. interest on all deposits set apart for shares. In accordance with the original purpose of the Institution, and of the early promise of its promoters, viz., to endeavour to make the proprietary body as nu merous as possible, and the corporation, as far as the law will per mit, a society for banking on the principles of a mutual benefit association, the shareholders will have a preference in the enjoyment of such benefits as the bank can legitimately afford. Special Deposits for shorter or longer periods than six months Will be received on ouch terms as may be arranged in each particular case. Drawing or Current Accounts—One per cent. interest, reckoned from day to day, will be allowed en all balances constant for six months, of 1001. and upwards; and two per cent. on all such balances exceeding 2001. ; but the permanent maintenance of any balance will not be insisted on, when the party has not also a dis count account. Cash Credit Accounts will be granted to respectable parties on personal security, or such guarantees as may be satisfactory to the flank. A commission of one per cent. half-yearly will be charged on the amount of the credit, but interest (5 per cent. per annum) will be debited on the balance only of actual:cabh from time to time drawn out by the party after deduction of the sums paid in. To share holders the commission on cash credits will be but a half per cent. half-yearly. All accounts will be balanced half-yearly. Onlcial receipts will, on the one hand, be given to customers for all sums paid in, and their cheques on the other will be preserved by the Batik till the succeeding half-yearly balance, when the accounts will be certified and the vouchers exchanged, except in cases where par• ties may specially wish for a different arrangement. Advances or Loans on Promissory Notes with marketable securi ties readily convertible, will be made at rates proportioned to the nature and value of the security in each case. Discounts of Bills of Exchange will be made at the rates of the day; but only to parties having drawing recounts, and keeping balances of not less than one•fourth of the amount of their discounts. All Bills for Discount must be lodged daily befor e 12 noon, and not called for till after 2 P.M.

BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS The acknowledged efficacy of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEU MATIC PILLS, by the continued series of testimonials which have been sent to and published by the proprietor for nearly twenty years, has rendered this medicine the most popular of the present age ; and in corroboration of which the following extract of a letter, written by Joha Mollarci Wheeler, 11 , 61., Collector of Customs, Jamaica, hav ing been handed by his brother, at Swindon, to Mr. Prout for publi cation, will fully confirm. " I know you have never had occasion to take Flair's Pills, but let me emphatically tell you, in mercy,to any friend who may suffer from gout, rheumatic gout, lumbago, sciatica, rheumatism, or any branch of that widely-allied family, to recommend their using them. In this country they are of wonderful efficacy : not only am I person ally aware of their powers, belt I see my friends and acqu intances receiving unfailing benefit from their use. I would not be without them on any account. If taken in the early stage of disease they dissipate it altogether; if in a later, they alleviate pain and effect a much speedier cure than by any other means within my knowledge."

EYEIU AIUSTACHIOS, and WHISKERS produced in a few weeks, And Baldness removed and prevented, by the use of G RIMS TONE'S AROMATIC REGENERATOIt. . . • If you are in want of that beautiful adornment of the humus figure, a natural supply of human hair, obtain through the post, or of any wholesale or retail chemist or druggist, or perfumer, an bottle of Grlmstone's Aromatic Regenerator. This is an essential spirit, drawn from aromatic herbs and flowers (grown at his Her bary, Highgate), which has been long known to the nobility and gentry, by whore it is highly appreciated for its manifold virtues, too ❑umerous to be sdt forth in an advertisement, but maybe read in his pamphlet, in which the bottles are enclosed. Each pamphlet has the signature of William Grimstone, Merchant, Herbary, Highgate, and will be bound at page 11, under the copy of Mrs. Weekly's Letter to the Editor of the " Times" newspaper, 7th of August, 1846. This pamphlet is forwarded through the pest, on receiving two postage stamps. The Aromatic Regenerator can be forwarded through the post on receiving a post-office order for 4s. 6d., 7s. Bd., or las., which in cludes the postage with the case. The 1 le. size contains four of the 4s. A few of its many virtues, as thousands can prove, are published la the pamphlet enclosed with each bottle. • Reader, reflect for a few minutes, and if you are 40 years of age you will remember the thousands of blind you meet with in your walks, others with various coloured eye-shades ; indeed, such was the demand for eye-shades, that it was a business. What has re moved those sightless beings, and given place to a straightforward, clear-sighted people (the climate is the same) ? I'll tell you the cause —the universal use of Grimstone's Eye Snuff! and because it cured Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, Cataract, Nervous Headach, and Deaf ness, the Lords of the Treasury directed it to be denominated a medi cine, and to be stamped. Although this advanced its character, 67 cases of cure being proved by the intormers, still it was an act of oppression ; as in 1825 the Solicitor of Stamps, Godfrey Sykes, Esq., altered the label, and sanctioned its sale under order of the Lords of the Treasury; the letter of protection, signed by Herries, Esq., to Sir. William Grimstone, bearing date 18th February, 1525. This was on account of its curative qualities, being sold at that time is canis ters, within the reach of every poor family, But under this order of Government it is obliged to be stamped. GRIMSTONE'S MEDICATED EYE SNUFF, sold in canisters, inclosed in a pamphlet of medical and other testimonials, under the Government order, at ls.. lid., 2s. 9d., and 4s. 6d. each. The Pamphlets sold at Id. each. if through the post, ls. Bd., 3s. 6d., and ss. Bd., including postage, Sec. The following letter is one out of the many thousand proofs. Read the following Medical Testimony to the cure of five cases of Gutta Serena, from G. H. Boutell, Professor of Galvanism : " Southsea, near Portsmouth, Hants, sth Nov., 1848. " Ma. W. GILINSTONE.—Sir --- I must in justice to you send the fol lowing Testimonial with regard to the extraordinary efficacy of your Eye Snuff in cages of Gutta Serena. I have used it in five cases with the most astonishing benefit and cure. Sir, you may advertise this ! ! or make what toss you please. The cures have wholly astonished me and thousands of others.—l am, Sir, &c., G. H. BOUTELL, Professor of Galvanism." All letters to Mr. William Grimstone, Herbary, Highgate, near London, at which establishment he continues to manufacture his far-famed HERB TOBACCO, so much esteemed in all foreign parts. The following letter, in testimony of its delightful qualities, is from the author of tke " Pleasures of Home :" " Springfield Cottage, Honiton, Devon, 15th August, 1842. " Sir,—l cannot deny myself the pleasure of stating how highly I esteem your Herb Tobacco. I have now found in it a substitute for the choice leaf, hitherto obtained by me from a friend in Constanti nople. lam sure that lovers of mild, fragrant Tobacco would find yours a great and acceptable gilt, at a very reasonable price. " I am your obedient servant, " STUART FARQUHARSON, D.C.L. " To Mr. William Grimstone, Herbary, Highgate." This extensively-famed Tobacco is sold by all chemists and drug ests, and others, with W.

OVERLAND MAIL INDIA AND CHINA. We have received from Marseilles our dispatches in anticipation of the Overland Mail, which left Bom bay on the 17th ult. This mail also brings us intel ligence from Hong-Kong to the 30th of March, from Calcutta and Singapore to the 6th, and from Madras to the 13th of April. The most important incident of the fortnight over which this news extends has been the announcement of the entire extinction of all hopes of the introduc tion of railway communication into Bengal for tLe prssent, the sum of 1,000,0001. (the limit of the guarantee) being considered inadequate to the con struction of a sufficient length of line to yield a pay ing traffic. It is expected that the construction of the first section of the. Bombay Railway, the only undertaking of the kind now extant in India, will be commenced at the, close of the approaching monsoon. Another atrocity has been committed by the Affree dees near Kohat. Dr. Healy, of the Bengal army, lately posted to the Ist Punjaub Cavalry, now sta tioned at Kohat, was proceeding to join that regiment by the eastern pass, which was supposed to be still open, when on the 20th of March, within a few miles of Kohat, he was set upon by the hill men, his groom and grasscutter killed on the spot, and himself so se verely wounded that he died immediately after reach ing Kohat, whither he was carried by Captain Daly, who went to look after him with a party the moment he heard of the attack. The fatal wound was a gash in the skull eight inches long. The true cause of the Affreedees rising is stated to be as follows :—The Affreedees have from time im memorial been allowed to receive salt at the rate of four maunds per rupee. The Board of Administra tion ordered that they should be supplied at four rupees per maund ! This, at Colonel Lawrence's re quest, was lowered to one rupee per maund—making them pay in salt•tax more than was allowed for keeping open the road. A detachment of the Bengal army, consisting of a wing of the 10th NatiVe Infantry and two guns, has met with a reverse in Oude ; they had been ordered to aid the King of Oudes'i forces in coercing a refrac tory Zemindar, who had taken refuge in a fort named Beitah, where he successfully resisted the attack of the combined forces. Our loss consisted of Lieute nant E. D. Elderton and 10 men of the 10th Native Infantry killed, and 25 wounded; of our artillery, 11 men and 1 gun ; and 70 men of the King of Oude's troops. The garrison lost only eight men, and evacuated the fort during the night of the 28th of March. Sir C. Napier has been lately much indisposed, but his energy as a reformer appears undiminished. He has lately issued a General Order on the subject of the very numerous applications for leave of absence made by officers during the hot weather, refusing to allow officers to he away from their men in that season except in case of illness. In confirming the sentence of a court-martial held on a field officer, who had entered into a- correspondence concerning► an order issued by a superior authority, instead of at once obeying it, Sir Charles remarks, " those who imagine this army is a debating society will find themselves very much mistaken." ..,. The Nizam's dominions were in their usual state, the rest of India is tranquil. An error in excess has occurred in the distribution of the Sinde prize money; the overdrawn amount has been ordered to be refunded in six monthly in stalments. It is stated that Sir C. Napier's share of the sum to be refunded will amount to 2,0001. Mr. Hamilton, the resident at Indore, has been most fully and honourably acquitted of the charge preferred against him by his assistant, Captain Harris, whose conduct in the matter is most strongly condemned by the Governor-General. Captain Harris is dismissed from his civil appointment, and remanded to his regiment. _ _ _ Five of the native subordinates of the Sudder Court at Agra have been tried, and convicted of cor rupt practices, and sentenced, three to four years' imprisonment, one to three years', and one to two years'. Cholera has broken out with virulence in the European Artillery barracks at Bombay. The second battalion of Artillery, now in these barracks, are to be moved thence into tents pitched for them on the esplanade of the fort. Lady Dalhousie, accompanied by Major Fane, Aide-de-Camp, and Dr. Grant, passed through Meerut on Wednesday, the 31 inst. Her Ladyship arrived at Mussoorie on the 6th of April, and thence will march across the mountains to Simlah. The Governor• General left Calcutta on the 15th inst. for the Upper Provinces and Simlah. His Lordship and suite will proceed in carriages drawn and pushed by bearers. It has been finally determined to remove Mr. Pat ton from the chief magistracy of Calcutta, the Go• vernor-General having confirmed the decision of the Bengal Government upon the report of the commis sioners. It is said that Mr. Patton is to be appointed judge at Burd wan. Mr. Blunt, of the Bengal civil service, late senior member of the Board of Salt and Opium, has been arrested for debt. The Commander-in-Chief was making the tour of the stations of the Jullunder Doab, and intended proceeding by Kote Kangra and the Hill route to Simlah, where he was expected by the 22d or 23d of April. The Hon. Sir Christopher Rawlinson, appointed Chief Justice of her Majesty's Supreme Court at Madras, has arrived at that presidency. Trade at Bombay continued dull, with no imme diate hope of improvement. Freights only 1/. 18s. to 21. to Liverpool, and 2/. ss. to London, and still declining. CHINA. correspondent at Hong-Kong, whose letter is date-d March 30, writes as tollows : The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Malta reached this on the night of the 19th, bringing dates from England to the 24th of January. The only important intelligence to communicate is the death, on the 25th of February, of the Emperor of China, Tsu-Kwang (the Lustre of Reason), in the 69th year of his age and the 30th of his reign. The Foreign Consuls at Shaighae received from the au thorities there, on the 20th of March, an official notice that his Majesty the Emperor " had departed upon the great journey, and had mounted upwards on the dragon to be a guest on high." The nomination of a successor rests always with the Emperor, and before his death Tau-Kwang de creed that his fourth and only surviving son should succeed him. He ascended the throne the day of the Emperor's death, and is to reign under the title of Sze-bing. He is only 19 years of age. Keying, the former Viceroy at Canton, is appointed his principal guar dian, and will no oubt hold a high and an influential position in the Cabinet. It is not likely that any material change in the policy of the Government will take place, but from the enlightened character of Keying and his know ledge of foreigners the tendency of any new measures will probably be towards a more liberal course. The customs and prejudices of the people, and their tran quillity will of course, however, always occupy the chief consideration. On the 231 inst. her Majesty's screw sloop Rey wird, Captain Cracroft, recaptured, from pirates, a little out of this harbour, three fishing junks lately taken from the owners, some of whom had been wounded and killed. The pirates had t ra nsferred their guns, firearms, and spears to their prizes,. being better adapted for their purposes, and had just re ceived a reinforcement of men, ammunition, and provisions, from this settlement. Such is the charac ter and employment of the Chinese population of this island. Of the pirates, 15 were brought in prisoners, 15 are supposed to have been drowned, and the re mainder, about 20, escaped. It is said that the formidable pirate chief, Shap-en-. tzei, has made terms with Seu, Viceroy of Canton, and is now holding some office under Government. Chin-Apoo is supposed to be in the north collecting and organizing another force. The Reynard, it is understood, leaves next month for Pekin, with a letter to the Emperor from his Ex. cellency Mr. Bonham. This was determined on before the intelligence of the death of the Emperor Tau-Kwang was received. The Bishop of Vietoria arrived yesterday in the Sir George Pollock. At Canton all is quiet. The favourable accounts of tea from England have nearly cle a r e d th e mar k e t of the quantity remaining on hand at 2 to 3 ts. ad vance. The excess of export of all kinds from China to this date, compared with the same period last year, is 6,000,0001 b. Our advices from Shanghae are down to the 20th of March. The population of the town and neigh bourhood of Shanghae were suffering from severe famine, consequent upon the late inundations, and it was feared that pestilence might follow. The export season was considered about, closed. Of silk, the , export, including what was in course of shipment, would be under 13,000 bales. It is possible, however, from the high prices offering, small parcels might still find their way down from the interior. Her Majesty's ship Hastings, screw sloop, Rey• nand, and Royalist, in harbour.

The Emperor of China died on the 25th of February last, having survived the Empress Dowager, whose decease was recorded on the 23d of the previous month, only thirty-three days. He is succeeded by his fourth or eldest surviving son, a youth nineteen years of age, who will reign under the title of Sze-hing. • The present .event is likely to cause important changes, both political and commercial, in our re lations with this empire, as it will probably bring Keying, hitherto the principal guardian of the heir apparent, into a more influential post in the Cabinet, if not at once into the Premiership. We must, however, reserve all speculation upon these matters for the present. Meantime we may remark, that the legalization of the sale of opium, both as a source of revenue in helping the new Government through its formidable financial difficulties, and towards set tling a long vexed and dangerous question, will pro bably be one of the first measures submitted to the new sovereign. _ _ The death of the Emperor Tau-kwang is said to have been hastened, if not caused, by a fright he received during a recent conflagration within his palace. The second affair we have to record is the capture of three piratical vessels by her Majesty's steamer Reynard, on the 23d instant. Ic occurred at the en trance of the bay, and within sight of the western point of the city Victoria. Three junks and fourteen prisoners were brought in. The latter are waiting their trial at our next criminal sessions, and have been identified as part of the gang of pirates who captured the informants' fishing boats and murdered part of their crews off Macao the week before. It is indeed a pleasing feature in the new regime, not only that the Chinese Commissioner points ouc to us the resort and gathering of pirate fleets, and entreats the co-opera tion of our flag, but even a solitary act of piracy can not now be committed within a circle of fifty miles without information of the fact being immediately conveyed to the Hong-Kong Government, if any one of the victims is left alive to carry the tale. It is reported that Shap-en'tzei, and several of his followers, have surrendered themselves to the Commissioner, and have not only received free par dons, but rank and office, for future service to Go vernment ! The report, we learn, has been fully authenticated. Two trading steamers, one English and the other American, have been prohibited from carrying cargo in Canton river. This is looked upon by the repre sentatives of both powers as a breach of treaty on the part of the Chinese authorities, and pending the settlement of the question, the steamers are lying on demurrage. We regret to announce that the population of the town and neighbourhood of Shanghae are suffering from a severe famine, consequent upon the late inun dations. It is too much to be dreaded that the scourge of pestilence will follow as usual ; meantime the moat humane efforts are being made by the British and foreign residents to alleviate the cruel sufferings by which they are surrounded. A subscription, set on foot here by the Roman Catholic padres, fur relief of their Christian congregations in the neighbourhood of Shanghae is, likewise, being liberally responded to. Canton continues quiet, and Hong-Kong perfectly heal thy COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. lOM RAY. IMP .RT MARKET. There has been c , nsiderably more business done in this market since the date of our last (April 3) than during the previous fortnight; it has been large for this season of the year as respects Manchester goods, and we must add that prices of these last have not given way farther for the [resent. Foreign and up country dealers have appeared in this market in fewer numbers than usual throughout the entire season, and latterly there has b( en no speculation in the bazaar. Stocks in general arc large, and we consider that only a month of the fair season now remains for business. Metals—ln these we continue to uo:e the ordinary amount of transactions; but in some ins:ances. it will be seen, at lower prices than those lust reported. There is a large stock of South American copper at market, and the demand for that article not active. Cotton Manufactures—As has been remarked above, the prices of these in general have not given way far ther for the present, and transactions have been consi derable. In gray in idapollama, medium quality, say 50,000 pieces at lr. 12a. to 2r. 62 per piece; 15,000 to 20,000 pieces of gray shirtings, 40 in. at 3r. Ba. to 4r. 6a. per piece; of gray jaconets, say 30,000 pieces, at Ir. 6a. to 2r. 8a; dona:nstics and T cloths, each, to nearly the ts...me extent, at 2r. 11a, to 3r. sa. per piece. For bleached goods there has also been inquiry, shirtings and madapollams having each been sold to the extent of about 15,000 pieces, at 4r. 2a. to 6r. 10a. for the former, and Ir. 15a. to 3r. 6a. for the latter. Of white jaconets the sales of the fortnight may have been 8,000 to 20,000 pieces, at 2r. Ea. to 4r. per piece. Turkey red plain cloths have been sold to some extent at Br. to Br. 4a. per piece. In printed, Scotch, and fancy goods generally, there is even less doing than before. Yarn—Nos. 20, 30, and 40 mule aro in demand, and low in stock. Other numbers aro rather overstocked, ea is also the case with respect to water of all numbers, ex cept 40, which is scarce. There is at the same time a fair inquiry for both; but less for coloured yarns, owing no doubt to the absence ef dealers from the north who usually purchase these. Woollens—The following sales are mentioned:— 1,175 yards of cloth at 2 - rupees 5 alums per yard. 2,300 „ „ at 1 rupee 12 annas per yard. 1,150 „ „ at 1 rupee • 6 annas per yard. Beer—No Bass or Allsopp in the market at present; but consignments of each are daily expected. We do not hear of anything doing in other brands. Cochineal—Our quotations remain as before, and we do nut hear of any transaction;. EirußW MARKET. Cotton—There is cu little cotton at market now for sale that it is difficult to give correct quotations founded on recent transactions. The tendency of late advises trom England has been to reduce the pride here; but as we have just said there is very little doing. As remarked in our last circular, considerable parcels are in course 01 delivery to purchasers in terms of contracts entered into some months ago. It is now finally understood that the out-turn of the northern crops will fall considerably snort of those of last year. Opium—Very little is changing bands; but consider able quantities are going forward on owners' accou,t. We quote prices as before, say 1,240 to 1,275 rupees per chest. Coffee—The Malabar crop continues to be freely taken up on arrival. Pepper—Sales of Butcolo are reported at 59r. ra r candy. FREIGHTS.

Importers, however looking at th e hi g h rates which were ruling In England at the departure of the 24th January mail, are generally firm in holding for advanced rates. and it is expi-cted that a good business will be done during the months of April and May.

SHANGIIAE MARKET REPORT. By the Lady Mary Wood we have dates feom this market to the 20th instant. But a small trade has been doing during the previous four weeks in English manu factures. It was expected that the extreme scarcity of food which existed, which was causing tke greatest distress to the poorer classes of the Chinese commu nity, would operate in causing depressing in the ge neral trade.

PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY.—The Birkenhead, iron steam troop-ship, Commander J. A. Stevens, arrived here yesterday with the depOt of the 16;h Foot, from Guernsey. They landed at the dockyar. l , and took quarters pro. tern. in Anglesey Barrack., Portsea, which they leave to-morrow for Hythe I3arracks, near Sandgate. On the arrival of the Birkenhead in the roads off Jersey the Cuckoo steam-vessel, Commander Dumaresq, was employed in conveying the depot of the 26th Regiment (brought from Cork by the Birkenhead) from that ship to the pier. She bad re ceived about 300 of the regiment with their knap sacks and muskets, and had two pilots on board. On the passage to the shore it was observed that a beacon denoting the position of the Huitres (or oyster) Rocks was not to be seen. The pilots were making some remarks upon it when Commander Dumaresq or dered the speed of the Cuckoo to be eased, and most fortunately he did so, for directly after she struck with great force. It then r quired all the exertions of the naval and military officers to prevent the troops going to the side and jumping overboard. Boats were soon along side, but would have been swamped by the men if their officers had not set the example of more cou rage. No lives were consequently lost, nor any one injured. The Cuckoo was with difficulty got along side the pier, and the troops got out, when the water rose above the fires in the engine-room, and soon after she sank. She has since been weighed and pumped out, and is on the slip to be patched up, and brought here to be docked. A court of inquiry will be held. The royal yachts are ordered to be in readiness to embark the Court on Wednesday afternoon from Gos port for the Isle of Wight.
