THE FIRE IN MARK-LANE, Nothwithstanding the precautions taken by the surveyors of the various fire insurance offices to pre vent, if possible, the remaining portions of the large warehouses from falling, we regret to state that du ring Saturday one of the immense walls, probably 120 feet high, nearly 100 feet long, and 2 feet thick, fell with a crash similar to a violent clap of thunder. Fortunately it took place when no one was in the Corn Exchange, or it is probable that a fearful sacri fice of life would have followed. It appears that this immense building -gave symptoms •of bulging during Friday, and forthwith large scaffold poles were placed in such positions as to bear the weight off from the Exchange. This was exceedingly fortunate t ; for had it not, been for such arrangements, notwithstanding that there was a clear space of eightor tenfeet between the two buildings, the whole of the Exchange might have been buried amidst some thousand tons weight of bricks and rubbsh. As it was, the roof at the further end of the Exchange has been carried down, and immense beams of timber, nearly as thick as a man's body, have been broken by the weight that fell upon them as easily as if they had been no thicker than common matches. A great number of men were immediately set to work in clearing the Exchange of the mass of brickwork which had fallen into it, and in erecting a wooden hoarding across, so as to be able to carry on the business as before. Large printed posters have been stuck up over the walls and stone pillars, as far as the centre of the Exchange, with the word " Dangerous" upon them. At eight o'clock on Saturday night the fire was distinctly perceptible in many portions of the ruins and also in the walls. The firemen were at that hour obliged to work hard to prevent any further outbreak. A notice was posted on Saturday in the Exchange, of which the following. is a copy : " Corn Exchange, Sept. 21, 1850. Notice is hereby given, that during. the repairs .he gates will be closed ou market days at - half-past one o'clock precisely, and the standholders and fre quenters of the Corn Exchange are requested to re tire at that time. (Signed) " Tuolaas LEVICIE, Secretary." . It has been stated that the fire would not have extended so greatly if a proper supply of water could have been obtained. It appears that - the pipes laid. down in Mark-lane and Seething-lane are so exceed ingly small that, even when fully charged, the supply from them was insufficient for three fire-engines; while in the adjacent streets the recent laying down of the new gas company's pipes was reported to have disarranged the mains of the New River Company;, and but half the usual quantity of water could be ob tained from them. Be this as it may, this is a subject which demands the fullest inquiry. The annexed statement of the losses sustained by the various in surance offices, says the Observer, has been obtained from the firms whose property is destroyed, and from other authentic sources 7—Phutaix Fire-office, 23,0001.; Alliance-office, 20,000/. ; Sun -office, 18,0001.; Nor wich Union, 10,0001.; Guardian, 7,0001.; Royal Exchange; 8,0001 ; Imperial, 12,000/.; Atlas, 8,000/. ; Church of England, 5,9001.; Monarch, 2,0001.; other offices, 2,0001. Total, 115,900/. LATEST PARTIC CLAUS. SUNDAY NIGUT.—The fire, at nine o'clock, was still burning, and at frequent intervals large bodies of flame shot up, but :owing to the continual discharge of water upon the walls and ruins no apprehension is entertained that any other buildings will become ignited. During the whole of this day a large body of men were employed in' pulling down the upper portion of one of the immense walls *Of. Messrs. . Hayter and Howell's premises, on the south side of the Corn Exchange. This portion of the warehouse was considered so insecure that it was thought the Corn merchants would be afraid to transact business in the Exchange this day " (Monday). Up to the above hour some thousand tons•weight.of bricks had been removed, and there is now no fear of any further mischief - to - the Exchange. A wooden hoarding has been placed across the farther end of the building; and canvas sheets have been laid over those portions of the.roof which have been destroyed, so that is the part of the Exchange not injured the market will be able to be carried on as usual. The directors of the New Corn Exchange have shown the greatest rality to their less fortunate brethren, and yeiterday the following notice was issued : "London Corn ExChange, Sept. 20, 1850. "At a meeting of the directors of the company, it was unanimously resolved that, in consequence of the late fire, the restriction upon the standholders of this market, against permitting the samples of others being placed in their stands, tables, or pillars, be relaxed for the present, in order that they may afford accommodation to standholders in the old market, until their premises are again fit for occupation ; and the company's large subscription room on the second floor be placed at the service of the standholders of the old market, if they shall find it convenient to make use of it. (Signed) "WILLIAM WELD WEEN, Clerk." It is greatly feared that the loss will prove much greater than was at first believed, for, owing 'to such an intense heat as exists at the present time in the ruins, much of the property contained therein must bidestroyed. Some idea of the heat may be formed when it is stated that yesterday afternoon the water from the ruins ran into the wine cellars' of Mr. Jones quite boiling hot. Thi., it is feared, will materially injure the valuable stock. The principal portion of ,the fire still rages amongst,,an immense quantity of soldier's clothing, and it is feared that some days must elapse before it is entirely extinguished. • ELEC6TIO* OF LORD MATOR.—MiChiIe I MRS - day falling on a Sunday this year, the election of Lord Mayor for the year ensuing will take place on Saturday next. The Sheriffs elect, Alderman Carden and Mr. liodgkinson, will be sworn in previous to the election, and afterwards com mence their duties as sheriffs in the election of Lord Mayor, and their inauguration will take place on the following Monday. Mr. Alderman Hunter. and Mr. Alderman Mus grove, who s t and next in rotation, it is expected will be re turned to the Court of Aldermen, when their election will fall upon Aldermait ranter. " BOMBAY, AUG. 5. •" India continues tranquil throughout. The - civil war in the . Nizam's territory has bees terminated by the result of a battle fought at Akote on the 20th of July, in which the Nizam's troops utterly defeated and dispersed those of the refractory Nawab of El lichpore. This success will enable the Nizam either to enforce better terms from the defeated Nawab or to give his districts to a richer competitor, and will at the same time relieve the Resident from the di lquunlainrrl. a eof employing the contingent in a doubtful " Another expl os i on o f an or d nance fl o till a occurre d on the Ganges, near Chuprah, on the 10th of July. The fleet consisted of about 30 boats, of which up wards of half were loaf e d with gunpowder ; 12 boats are lost, seven with 4800 barrels of powder on board exploded, and five sunk. The crews discovered the fire in time, and escaped. Suspicion attaches to the native boatmen, from the circumstances of their having received their ply in advance at Dina pore, and having all escaped injury. A committee of inquiry has been instituted to investigate the matter. " An outrage most disgraceful to the civilized cha racter of the district has occurred at Alipore, in the immediate neighbourhood of Calcutta ; it originated in some Sepoys of the Alipore Militia (off duty) having got a well-deserved thrashing from the inha bitants of that locality for insulting respectable women of the place. The Sepoys fled to their lines for assistance, whereon their comrades turned out, and proceeded to treat Alipore and its inhabitants as if it had been an enemy's town taken by storm. The court of inquiry appointed to report on the conduct of the Sell: state prisoners at Allabahad have come to the conclusion that a plot exi:,ted for the rescue of the Attarree Sirdars. Several letters were pro duced, which showed that there had been a cor respondence kept up between the Ranee Chunda at' Nepaul and the prisoners ever since their arrival at Allahabad. " A considerable sensation has been occasioned in India by a duel which has lately taken place at Banditti, between Lieutenants Huxham and Lich ford, of the 48th Native Infantry, in which the former was wounded severely (it was at first sup posed mortally). Lieutenant fluxham is out of danger, but the affair is likely to lead to more than one court-martial. " The Bengal papers are filled with disgraceful exposes of the extent to which gambling is carried on amongst the young officers of the Queen's and Com pany's services on leave at Siinla and other hill sta tions. Some of these have been openly charged with cheating at play. This affords a further proof of the propriety of Sir C. Napier's very unpopular general order restricting the leave of officers to the hills dur ing the hot season. " There has been another lull in the monsoon, and complaints of want of rain are general throughout Upper, Central, and Western India. Lord Falkland is still at Poona. He has been suffering from a severe attack of fever, but is now much better. Sir Charles Napier and Lord Dalhousie are at the hills, and Colonel Lawrence still in Cashmere, where, amongst other things, he is said to have been pre scribing for Gholab Singh, who has been seriously indisposed. • " The discussion on Mr. Bright's motion has ex cited much interest in India. The local press gene rally advocate the appoinment of a cotton commission. The real difficulty, however, of increasing the pro duction of cotton in India is, that even in districts (such as Broach) which enjoy the facilities of complete water carriage, a crop of cotton affords to the culti vator a smaller return, in proportion to his outlay, than is generally afforded by other crops which the soil is equally capable of producing." CHINA. The following is the letter of our correspondent at Hong-Kong, dated the 24th of July : " The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Braganza arrived here on the 10th- instant, bringing advices from England to the 24th of May. " His Excellency the Governor returned from Shanghae on the 18th instant, in the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Lady Mary Wood. " Her Majesty's screw-propeller sloop Reynard, Captain Cracroft, arrived hero from the mouth of the Peiho river on the 17th. She was the bearer of the letter from the Queen, or, as some suppose, Lord Palmerston, to the Emperor, previously alluded to. The Reynard's draught of water prevented her entering the river. The letter was delivered to Mandarins, who came down from Teen -Si ng a town about nine miles from the mouth of the Peiho (100 from Pekin), and who gave a receipt for the letter, not couched, however, in the most courteous language. "As might have been expected, the reception of Captain Craeroft, and those composing the mission, was anything but friendly. They were told, we un derstand, that all communications must be made, as formerly, through the Viceroy at Canton, to whom an answer would be sent, and to whom therefore they were referred. We had previously occasion to men tion that the letter in question is supposed to relate to a proposal of increasing our intercourse with the Chinese nation; but a❑ unusual mystery is main tained here on this occasion, and consequently a good deal is left to conjecture. "We have always considered that the Governor's mission to the north and that of the Reynard to the Peiho river were rather calculated to do harm than lead to any advantage, and it only affords another proof how ill informed our Government at home is with -respect to our position here, and as to the esti mation we are held in by the Chinese, to augur good from such an expedition. " Sickness among the European troops has been on the increase, as many as 100 men have been in the hospital at one time, and about 35 have died of fever. This happens when there is no unusual sickness either among the community or the Government police force. In 1848 the 95th Regiment, from illness and the number in hospital, were declared unfit for duty, and about 100 were carried off in a short space of time. Some attribute the cause of this to the un healthy position of the barracks, occasioned chiefly by the nature of the ground in the rear. It is more likely, however, to proceed from the crowded state of the rooms occupied by the men, and at night in par ticular, their beds being only six inches apart—as close, we.undestand, as they are in an European and cold climate. Good ventilation and as much air as possible is considered a desideatum and necessary by'all in an eastern.cliniate, bat the soldiers have been depriVed of this necessary of life ; air is excluded, and i n .con an opinion ,sequence an obnoxious and poisonous atmospher e i s generated. " In the hospital the same evils exist, and we have heard those qualified to judge exp ress that healthy persons exposed for a short time to the atmosphere that exists in these places would soon be affected and carried off as the unfortunate troops are. " The orders from the Horse Guards for the go vernment and management of the men seem to be is sued without referencelo climate and other circum stances, and those in authority on the spot are alWays reluctant to take responsibility upon themselves. The death of every soldier costs the country from 1201. to 150/. ; it is to be hoped, therefore, the Government, and those who are in the habit of urging upon them economy, will turn their attention to these serious loases and on the score of humanity it is to be hoped that measures will be taken to arrest, if pos sible, this distressing mortality, and relieve the British soldier from being considered, as he is here, an object of compassion. " The Governor of Macao, Commodore da Cunha, whose arrival we mentioned in our last, died on the 6th of July. He had been for some time in bad health. His death is most unfortunate for the settlement of Macao, matters with the Chinese Government not being yefarranged. "We mentioned in our last that the duty of two mace had been laid on tea by the Chinese authorities at Can ton. By the printed regulations annexed it is stated that the object of the duty is to raise funds to liqui date the old Hong debts. The matter was referred by Dr. Bowring, the British Consul, - to the Chamber of . Commerce, and a letter has been addressed by the .Chamber to his Excellency the Governor, stating that in their opinion the measure on the part of the Chinese authorities was a direct infraction of the treaty, and pointing, out the injurious consequences to -British trade if it were allowed to continue. " No settlement; in new congous have yet taken . place. 290 whole chops are down, and more expected. The teamen are asking rates that foreigners cannot afford to give ; another month may elapse before anything is done. The export from China continues the same as last month. The stock of congous in Great Britain by the end of November, before which period no tea can arrive, is likely to be reduced to seven and a half months' consumption. " About 500 bales of new Tsatlee silk had arrived at Canton, for which a large price was asked. , " Import market very flat. " Fung, chief magistrate of the district of Nanhae, and Show, chief magistrate of the district of Pwanyu, hereby issue a perspicuous proclamation : " Whereas the system of the old Co-hong, carried on under Woo-Eho (Howqua) and others, having been absolutely abolished, and the tea trade having become scattered amongst a number of traders, whereby no one could be held responsible for the public moneys due, the old Hong merchants, Howqua and others, petitioned the Governor. General, re questing to be permitted to establish Government warehouses, and levy taxes in order to liquidate the old debts due to Government, and to maintain more easily a surveillance over the tea trade. " We had the honour to receive the Governor- General's reply on the subject for our examination and deliberation. After having deliberated on the proposal, we presented a statement to the Governor- General, giving our opinion thereon, and we subse quently received a reply to the effect that we should issue our orders to the tea warehouse masters to act in accordance with what had been agreed upon. " `A petition which we have now received from the tea warehouse masters states that the establishment of the Government tea warehouse being the com mencement of a new system, they have therefore called together the tea merchants, and drawn up in conjunction with them regulations for carrying on the warehouse system ; and the tea merchants have since engaged to act in accordance with such regu lations. " We have presented a full statement of the high officers of the above system, in order that the same may be placed on record; and we have also issued licenses to certain warehouse-masters, granting them permission to establish warehouses and to act accord ing to the regulations; besides which, being appre hensive that. the tea merchants and Canton merchants might not be all cognizant of the fact, we have deemed it proper to issue a perspicuous notification on the subject.—We hereby issue a notification to the tea merchants of the various provinces and to the Canton merchants for their information— " Hereafter, a hen the tea arrives at Canton and the Canton merchants purchase it, both parties must act according to the annexed regulations drawn up for that purpose. Do not oppose this! "'A SPECIAL PROCLAMATION. . _ " 'l. When the tea merchants store their teas in the Government warehouses, the warehousemen will take an account of the name of the parcel and the number of chests, after which they will repair to the oil Hong merchants' Consoo, and make an accurate report of the same in detail. When any of the teas have been sold and weighed, the warehousemen will report at the Consoo to what Carlton (Chinese) mer chant the tea has been sold, the name of the parcel, the number of chests, and the quantity in catties, in order that the same may be cancelled in the books. " Should any of the tea merchants first repair to our warehouse, and afterwards remove to another, their teas must be again reported correctly, in order to be taken an account of. " 2. With regard to the discount in the money transactions between the tea warehouse masters and the Canton merchants (Chinese), within these last few years a discount of more than 5 per cent. has been given ; it is now agreed, however, that hereafter it will be regulated according to the custom of the old Hong merchants, that a discount of 2 per cent. shall be given, and that 20 per cent. (20) of broken silver may be used in snaking payments. " If the tea merchant should require, however, the payment of his money in perfect dollars, a further discount of 1 per cent. will be made, but not more than that. " t By regulating the discount in this manner the tea merchants will be benefited, and the price received for their teas will be enhanced ; they will for that reason be required, according to the regulations agreed upon, to pay to the tea warehouse masters the sum of 2 mace fur each pecul of tea sold, and these latter will band the full amount into the old Hong merchants' Consoo, in order that it may be delivered into the Government treasury. " 3. •The black, green, and Tsing yuen tea ware houses baying been established many years, all the outlays for lodging the tea merchants, storing the teas, the warehouse rent, the wages for coolies, and other petty expenses, having been borne by the ware house musters, a charge of 5 mace per pecul will, for the same reason, in future, be levied by the Govern ment tea warehouse masters on the black teas, being in accordance with the custom hitherto existing, and the charge formerly fixed in the old regulations will be levied on the green Canton and Tsing yuen teas. " 4. Should any of the tea merchants take ware houses themselves and store:teas in them, or the Hong merchants trade in tea, they must also repair to the Government warehouse people to report correctly their quantities of teas, and these people will again report the same at the old Hong merchants' Consoo. When the teas are sold the Government warehouse masters will levy a charge of 3 mace per pecul. Should any of the tea merchants engage other Go vernment warehouse people than those who reported their teas to sell them, the latter will only levy a charge of 5 candareens per pecul, without quarrelling respecting the amount. " The Canton (Chinese) merchants must procure a bill of sale from the Government warehouses au thorizing them to purchase the particular parcels of tea (i.e. far the quantity they purchase at one time for each transaction). Should they not have pro vided themselves with a bill of sale from the Govern ment warehouses, the transaction will be viewed as smuggling. " 11i is agreed, that should any of the Govern• meat warehouse people sell teas for another ware house they will receive the sum of 6 candareens per pecul of black tea sold, in order to 'requite them for their trouble. The rest of the charge levied, amount ing to 4 mace 5 candareens, will belong to the ware house people in %hose warehouse the teas have been stored, in order to recompense them for their trouble and customary outlays. " The g►reen Canton and Tsing yuen teas will have a charge for labour, &c., levied on them accord ing to their value, and regulated by that levied on black teas. Besides that, there will be a tax of 2 mace per pecul levied on them, to liquidate Govern ment debts. " "The old Hong merchants' petitions stated that 90 catties of tea should be considered equivalent to one pecul ; that the tea moneys should be weighed by the weights of the Superintendent of Finances, and that the merchants should not be allowed to employ the tea weights, by which means they would be able to pay a smaller quantity of silver. " ' 6. When chests of tea shall be delivered to the Canton (Chinese) merchants for musters they will be allowed to take about five catties of tea from each chest for examination. If they take more than that quantity then they -will be required to pay to the tea merchants for the same, according to the value of the tea. They will not be permitted to avoid the payment. " 7. Should any of those persons who have en gaged to establish Government warehouses subse quently desire to carry on some other business, they will be permitted to cease holding Government ware houses; but they must first deliver their licenses to the old Hong merchants, in order to get them can celled. " 8. The present regulations have been estab lished in order to guard against smuggling and other malpractices, and to keep a surveillance over the tea trade. Should there be hereafter individuals who re fuse to obey these regulations, the tea warehouse masters are permitted to present a petition to the au thorities on the subject, in order that the parties may be prosecuted and punished. "' J. It is ordered that th 3 Canton (Chinese) merchants who'purchase the teas shall pay the 2 mace which is levied to repay the Imperial treasury at the time the teas are weighed for sale. They shall hand the amount to the Government warehouse masters who will again deliver it i n t o th e C onsoo of the Hong ' merchants, to be handed into the Imperial treasury, with the view of enha nc i ng t h e moneys in the 'in perial treasury. - << ig (A true tra ns l a ti on ) , JOHN A. T. MEADOWS, Acting -Interpreter. " June 9, 1850: '' " Our dates from Shanghae are to the 13th inst. " The tea market had opened, and 40 chops had been settled for at prices considered here high. " About 1,000 bales of new silk, contracted for in the country by forei gners, had arrived, and more was expected. Prices were high. A few hundred bales go home this month by the overland route. The quality of the crop is superior. The stock of old silk in the country is quite exhausted—an unusual cir cumstance at this time of the year. As the Chinese, therefore, are likely to be large buyers of new silk for their own wants, the export this season is not likely to exceed the last, which, to the 30ai of June, , a mounted, from China, to 17,400 bales. "Import market dull. " Thursday, Aug. 1. " There is little local news this month to send from Singapore. The Admiral has gone to Penang to enjoy the cool breezes of the Great Hill before pro ceeding to China. Her Majesty's ship Contest, Hon. J. W. Spencer commander, arrived here on the 25th ult., and sailed for Labuan and China on the 29th. Her Majesty's steamer Fury will proceed to Penang upon the arrival of the China steamer, with the Ad miral'a dispatches, but will return here and take her departure for England by the Straits of Sunda. " Sir James Brook will sail for Siam on his mission immediately after the arrival of the English mail. He will be accompanied by the steamers Sphynx and Nemesis. Native report represents the Siamese as being in a state of great alarm on account of the visit of the English envoy, and they are said to have ob structed the passage up the river Menam by means of chains, stones, &c. "Accounts from Batavia state that the Chinese on the west coast of, Borneo had repulsed the troops sent against thcm, that the latter had been obliged to leave the river Sankawang, and it was reported that two steamers would immediately proceed from Java with a reinforcement of 800 men. " Dr. Wilson had died at Labuan from the effects of a sun stroke." COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CEYLON. (From the Colombo Monthly Examiner, Aug. 15.' Very little can be said at this period of the season concerning plantations. Low country estates coffee is ripening fast, and we may expect of this kind and native some quantity in Colombo within a month of this time. Owing to the variableness of the season, we heard the other day of a considerable and unsea sonable blossom having come out in some districts, which is indicative of a certain weakness in the trees and the prospect of a very tedious picking season. Large bodies of labourers are pouring into the country long before their services are generally required, which is a source of perplexity to the employers, who cannot see them leave or starve, and are compelled to take them at a cost which, though it does not exceed the smallest sum required for the maintenance of the people, is, nevertheless, so much loss to the employers, who are thus compelled to pay for what lite rally they can do without. In process of time we hope this evil will correct itself, in the meantime it is gratifying to know that our supply of labour is assured to us. A good deal of land is opening in all the higher districts, some merely additions to old properties, and some new estates, indicating great confidence in our ability to compete with other coun tries in production. Estates generally are looking well, for which the weather has been favourable. Whilst we are receiving the first of the Kudaganava crops the Badulla estates are giving us the last of their season's production, which comprises nearly the whole of the coffee now shipping. In the low country the weather indicates an early change of monsoon ; lightning from the land side and a land wind have prevailed during the last week irregularly. The cinnamon planters are bringing in their cut tings rapidly, large quantities have already been put on ship board, and much remains to ship. The pro duce of the crap has been very good in quantity and quality, nearly every garden showing improvement in both circumstances. The appearance of the gardens is good, and the quantity of wood coming forward promises favourably for November cutting. The health of the country has been good, with the exception of a slight indisposition in Colombo, proceeding from the prevalence of unwholesome winds. IMPORTS. The business of the port in European imports and exports requires little notice since our last. The Janet, from Glasgow, with part of her cargo for Ma dras, has arrived. She brought a few coloured goods and sundries, but stocks of staple goods have not been increased. The arrivals of grain from the coast con tinue good, business in other respects dull. Gray goods are in excellent demand ; the buyers are willing to take large parcels at advanced rates, at which a fair business has been done. Few or no goods now remain in first bands. Bleached goods have been taken almost entirely out of the market. Printed and coloured goods remain abundant, and little business can be expected in this description until the new crop of coffee begins to arrive in quantity in Colombo. Turkey reds remain unimproved. Metals—lron of all kinds remains over abundant, and our unremunerating quotations must be considered quite nominal Copper sheet remains at our last quo tations. lIPORTS. Our shipping list from month to month becomes beautifully less ; there is, however, some cargo offer ing, and three vessels have ,been enabled to clear— the Royal Saxon, the Anne Jenkins, and the Effort, taking altogether about 14,000 cwt. of coffee. The Alice Maud and Fieur-de•Lis will fill up with probably 6,000 cwt. more. The chief cargo offering is cinnamon, the new cuttings of which are coming in, and the end of the Onvah coffee crop. Within a month we may expect that some of the new crop from the Kudaganava districts will be shipped. Dealers are unwilling to contract at present rates for native coffee, and we do not expect any business to be doing until the crop begins to arrive from the interior. The shipments by the official returns have been to the 10th of August-- 1850. 1849. 1848. Plantation Native 324,577 356,578 272,805 The very excessive over-entries of 1849 were not deducted, whereas the exports for 1850 have been corrected by quarterly returns. Cinnamon —The quantity of this spice which has gone forward is large ; the Alice Maud has already upwards of 800 bales on board, and will probably in a few days take 1,500 to 1,800 packages. The Fleur de-Lis will also take a fair quantity. 'We do not hear of any transactions in new spice. The quantities ex ported for the last years to the 10th August, have been :-1850, 480,6041 b.; 1849, 403,1881 b.; 1848, 183,6881 b. Cocoanut oil partakes of the general inactivity in exports, but s ma ll quant i t i es h ave b een put on ship board. Copperah is cheaper ;it may be purchased at 333. per candy. Oil is quoted at 71. to 71. 10s., but not many transactions of importance are recorded : Quantities shipped to the date are as follows :—To the 10th of August, 1850, 512,418 gallons corrected ; ditto, 1849, 281,886 gallons, corrected ; ditto, 1848, 276,781 gallons, corrected. Ebony, sapan wood, and coin goods, and horns, are generally neglected. Plumbago has been put on board the last ships very freely. Exchanges have varied per cent. in favour of re mitters since our last, Bank purchasing rates being 51, and selling 2f per cent. discount, 6 months' bills. Private and East India Company's bills on Madras are doing at ts. 11d. per rupee, on Calcutta and Bombay at ls. 111 d. to Is. 1 lid. Freight is diffi cult to quot e accurately —say, c o ff ee , 3/. to 3/ 10s.; cinnamon, 41. 10s. Tonnage will be scarce after the d e p ar t ure of the vessels n ow on the berth. CANTON. lIONG-KONG, JuLY 24. TheltranEactions in our import market during the past month have been considerable, chiefly owing to the low rates at which goods were selling.

The committee appointed at the last meeting of this company to consider the future composition of the board of directors, and to recommend to a special general meeting of the company, to be held on the 2d of October next, such gentlemen as they deemed suitable for the directory, have decided upon recom mending 24 gentlemen, 10 of whom are members of the present board, a like number of new members to supply the places of retired directors, and four directors by agreement for guaranteed and leased lines. The 10 old directors to remain in the direction are, Messrs. H. lluuldsworth, S. Brooks, G. Wilson, R. Gill, E. Harper, W. -Marshall, W. Stewart, H. Wickham, W. Rand, and C. H. Jones. The directors by agree ment for guaranteed and leased lines are Messrs. J. Andus, J. Beaumont, J. Radcliffe, and W. Hornby. The proposed new directors to supply the places of those who retire are Messrs. W. Rawson, J. Brogden, and W. Evans, of Manchester ; M. E. Mowatt, M.P., London, and J. Mellor, of Liverpool; Mr. J. Botterill, of Leeds ; Mr. T. Barnes, of Bolton ; Mr. J. Thorn ton, of Wakefield ; Mr. Hargreaves, jun., of South port; and Mr. S. Fieldon, of Todmorden. LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN. On Friday a deputation of the directors of this company, with Captain Huish, the general manager, visited Chester to consider and decide upon the site to be adopted for a proposed new station there, it having been resolved at the last board meeting of the direc tors that, in order to free themselves from the annoy ances and litigation to which they bad been lately exposed by the other companies at the joint station, they should build a new one for their through traffic, and that the Chester and Holyhead, and Chester and Birkenhead Companies shall be invited in free of charge. Plans and estimates for this purpose ere being prepared. The present station, forming a cen tral point for all the lines meeting at Chester, is con sidered to be one of the largest in the kingdom. The cost of its erection has been defrayed by four com panies, and it is nearly 1,000 f e et l ong , an d h as every convenience. THE POISONINGS IN ESSEX. NEWPORT, ESSEX ' SEPT. 21.—Sarah Chesham, the alleged poisoner o f her husband, Richard Chesham, and two children, underwent a final examination at the gaol of this town this day, before Mr. B. 'Wolfe, Captain Henry Byng, and Colonel Chamberlain. Hannah Phillips, the wife of a labourer, deposed that after the prisoner's return from Chelmsford she came to live near her. When passing her cottage she would frequently call her in and converse with her about her children. Her story was constantly about them. She said that Mr. Newport had poisoned her children, James and Joseph ; that he had given them a halfpenny to take what he had got, and that the halfpennies were placed with them in the coffins. She added that Mr. Newport had told her to poison Lydia Taylor and the child, and gave her some poison to give them. She gave some to the child, and be was angry with her because she would not go and poison the mother. She replied that she did not like, as the infant was taken ill, and it was sup posed that it had been poisoned. He said that she could put it in some tea and give it to her. The poison Mr. Newport had given her she hid under a stub in the Water-lane, and that when she came back from Chelmsford she took it away. In the course of last year's harvest, she (witness) went into the prisoner's house, and she said she would not live with such a husband as witness had ; if he treated her in the same manner, that she would do for him as she had done her's; that she was to make him a pie, and if she did not know bow to season it she was to bring it to her, and she would do so for her. She added that it was no sin to bury such husbands • that she (witness) was to get soma sheep's hearts, lights, &c., and make some mince pies, and that if she had not wit enough to season them she was to bring them to her. She described the pies she had made and seasoned, which she sent to her husband while he was at work in the harvest field. She afterwards cried, and said, " I have sent my soul to hell all through he," meaning, as witness thought, her husband. After the inquest on her husband, she spoke to witness about what she had said about the poison under the stub, and hoped she would not say anything with reference to it, as she had had trouble enough to bear against. Sarah Chesham, mother of the deceased, deposed to frequently attending him and seeing his wife give him some baked rice pudding. The last time was about a fortnight before his death. She saw the pri soner give him some thick milk at two o'clock in the morning, and be died at seven. Mr. Superintendent Clarke proved finding the rice. John Pilley, one of the Essex constabulary, sta tioned at Clavering, was examined. He accompa nied Mr. Clarke when the prisoner's cottage was searched. On finding the rice, she said, " I hope you are not going to take it away." After the trial she returned from Chelmsford, and stated that the lawyers had informed her that she could not be hurt for what she had been tried far, and that she would tell them all about it. It was a long :tale. She said that Newport had given her children the poison in a pep permint drop, and that he gave them something to take it. She added that he had given her a bottle to give to Lydia Taylor. (Ile produced it.) James Parker, the younger, cousin to the prisoner, stated, that about four years ago, and before the chil dren died, he went with ene of the boys to Sturtford, to get twcpennyworth of arsenic to kill rats. He took it to the prisoner's house at the time ; he could not say whether he gave it to her or to the deceased, but the deceased had said that he had given it to him. When he heard that the boys were poisoned, he spoke to the deceased about it, and he said that it was not with that poison, for he had used it all. He did not say anything at the time about the buying of arsenic. His master, Mr. Newport, told him not to say any thing about it. He told him of it, and he said "Don't say anything abo u t it. , " John Holgate, of Debden, stated that since the in quest he called at the prisoner's, at Clavering. She cried and said that Newport had been the ruin of,her, and that he ought to have been hanged, for he had killed her two children. He bought the poison and said that would do for them in a short time. She told him that she would not do it, and spoke of what he had given those at Maunden, and he said he would tell her after she had done it. Witness told her that it was a serious case. She generally appeared kind to her husband. Mr. Thomas Newport was then examined, and after receiving the usual caution, he stated that he had never given to the prisoner any poison or. any arsenic. Parker had told him that he had got twopenny worth of arsenic. He said, "Don't say anything to me about it, say it before the coroner." He never told him not to say anything about it. Mr. Alfred SW' eine Taylor, the professor of chemistry at Guy's Hospital, was next examined, and he put in the same lengthened report as to the results of the analysis of the deceased's stomach, contents, &c., as was read to the coroner's jury There were traces of arsenic, but not in sufficient quantities to satisfy him clearly that death resulted from it. It had apparently been administered in small doses, which would the effect of weakening bodily power, and so hasten fatal results. He was of opinion that the sickness and purging and action of the bowels of the deceased were caused by the administration of some irritant substance, and he was further of opinion that the signs of thirst exhibited by the deceased were such as might have been caused by small doses of irritant substances, and not, in his judgment, from consumption. This closing the evidence, The Bench consulted, and announced to the pri soner their intention of committing her for trial at the next assizes for feloniously administering to the deceased a certain poison, :with intent to kill and murder. The prisoner protesicd her innocence, and sug gested that if she were taken before a witch they might know all about it. Mr. Collins, the clerk to the Bench, who has dis • played much care in preparing tho eNidence, then bound over the witnesses to appear at the trial in the usual manner. The French contract for 6,300 tons of coal, equal to Cardiff or Newcastle, was adjudicated on Wednesday, gene• rally in favour of English coals.
