The Sadder Court has lately signalised itself by another of thes3 extraordinary Indian decisions which Mr. Norton has rendered famous. A man was convicted of murder by a district judge, and sentenced to transportation for life, subiect to the confingation of the Sudder Court. The Sudder judges each recorded minutes in approval of the conviction, and each stated, either that the district judge's sentence should be fully confirmed, or that. it should be very slightly mitigated ; yet when the same judges laid their heads together, the mur derer was sentenced to one lash and six months' imprisonment only. The local directors of the Bombay Railway have issued a notification, refusing to carry any of the sweeper or scavenger carts. This order is univer sally disapproved by the European community and by the press ; and we believe that the officers of the railway were also opposed to it. It is generally thought to be illegal, for the railway company being public carriers are bound to carry every one that offers. The sweepers are said to be remark ably clean in their dress and person when " off duty," and as the amount of native passenger traffic, before this order was issued, had been con sidered most satisfactory, it would appear to have been wholly uncalled for. It is to be hoped that the London directors of the company will cancel the order as soon as they hear of it, for the breaking down of caste prejudices has always been considered one of the principal benefits that the general introduction of railway communication would confer on the country. Immediately after the arrival of the home dispatches of the last mail, Lord Falkland was closeted with his secretaries at Poonah, and an order was dis patched forthwith to the Company's law officers at Bombay (the Advocate-General and the Solicitor- General) to repair to Poonah to aid the Governor with their advice. It was stated that the Bombay Government was severely censured in the dis patches in question, and from the law officers being summoned it is surmised that some steps are to be taken at last for instituting a public inquiry into the Surat case. HONG-KONG, JUNE 23. The market for manufactures remains in an unsatisfac tory state. Imports have been large, and since last month yarn and shirtings have receded in value, the de cline on the latter goods being on the middling descrip tions. Transactions in the new congous have taken place at an aovance of about 35 per cent. on th e open ing prices of last year. Cotton is a little firmer. Bombay, St. dm. to 6t. Bm. ; Bengal, st. 4m. to 6t. 4m ; Madras, St. 4m. to 7t. lm. The sales have been about 15,000 bales, stock, 85,000 bales. Cotton Yarn.—The sales have been to a fair extent, but large arrivals caused holders to be anxious to effect sales, and prices are lower. Longcloths.—There has been little inquiry for these goods, and stocks are heavy. Tea.—The market during the month has been active, and large transactions have taken place, at full prices. The first settlements of the new congous were made on the 10th inst., and the Don Ricardo, supposed for Liver- Pool, was dispatched on the 13 th inst., with three chops on board. About 22 chops have been received, of which 15 are reported sold, at prices from 214 t. to 32t. being about 35 per cent. advance on the opening prices of last Iseason. The quality of the teas received were considered inferior. lb.

Canton remains quiet, but an uneasy feeling exists, and petty robberies are being committed in the suburbs. More than once a threatened attack on the city has been rumoured to take place, but nothing of consequence has occurred, and every precaution is taken to prevent an outbreak. From Shanghai we have dates to the 9th inst., by the French war steamer Cassini, and from Ching- Kiang-foo we have advices to the 30th ult. An at tack had been made on that fort by the Imperial fleet, but all attempts to dislodge the insurgents were, from their favourable position, unsuccessful, and it is reported disaffection existed among the foreigners in the service of the Taqutae, and that the fleet was likely to return to Shanghai. At Nankin the insurgents continued to fortify that place, and other cities they hold near it, and the impression was they would make no forward move ment till the cold weather set in. Nothing has been mentioned of the movements of the grand Im perial army around Nankin. Our dates from Amoy are to the 18th inst. The rebels were fortifying the place against a threatened. attack of the Imperialists. The forced contribu tions levied on the inhabitants caused great discon tent, and many were shipping off their valuables, ' and setting the rebels at defiance. Great distress prevailed among the lower orders, and it would be a relief to have the old Government back. Foo-chow-foo remained quiet on the 12th inst., our last date. Much excitement existed, as the rebels were reported close at hand. The tartar troops were practising daily. The rebellion had broken out at Shang-foo, s ome distance in the inte rior. We learn that all the pirates handed over to the Mandarins by her Majesty's steamer Rattler had been beheaded ; one man, women, and chil- dren were spared. At Canton the import market is seriously af fected by the present state of matters. Money is scarce. Settlements of the new congous have taken place at from 211 taels to 32 taels ; the latter for the best kinds. These prices are considered 30 to 35 per cent. advance on last year's opening rates. The Don Ricardo, supposed for Liverpool, was dispatched on the 13th inst. with some of the new teas. The Shanghai market is still closed for imports. Musters of the new silk and tea had been received, but no prices mentioned. The price of silk in the interior was higher. Money was very scarce, and exchange quoted ss. 10d. The total export of tea from China for the season 1852-53 is estimated at 6,500,0001 b. in excess of that for the season 1851-52. The United States' transport Caprice arrived at Shanghai, from Loochow on the 7th inst., where she left the squadron for Japan, and was to return shortly with a supply of coals. We hear of the arrival at Singapore of the United States' steam frigate Powhattan, which vessel was to leave in a few days to join the expedition. Our advices mention that the Russian 50-gun frigate Pallas, Admiral Poutistin, had left Singapore on the 13th inst., for this port. The mail brings advices that Admiral Pellew and his squadron may be expected here shortly. The steamer Singapore, bringing the mail of the 9th of May from England, arrived at 3 a.m. We cannot expect the letters to be delivered till this afternoon. We have had continuous heavy rains during the month and very close hot weather. The general health of the soldiers may be considered favourable, and the colony is healthy. We regret to report the death of the distin guished medical officer Dr. Bankier, R.N., and lately of her Majesty's ship Minden. He was up wards of ten years on this station, and was greatly esteemed by all. Tenders are out for conveyance of the Rifle Corps to Colombo—a force we can ill spare in case of troubles arising at Canton. In Harbour—Her Majesty's ship Spartan, re turned from a cruise. At Canton — Her Majesty's ship Rapid. At Macao—The French steamer Cassini and corvette Capricieuse At Amoy—Her Majesty's steamer Rattler. At Shanghai—Her • Majesty's steamers Hermes and Salamander. Our latest advices are from England, May 9 ; Bombay, May 30 ; Calcutta, May 20 ; Singapore, June 16 ; Manilla, June 16 ; Sydney, April 9 and Shanghai, June 9. EGYPT. ALEXANDRIA, AUG. 5. The. Peninsular and Oriental Company's screw steamer Madras arrived at Suez on the 2d instant, with the mails from Sydney, May 31 ; China, June 23 ; Calcutta, July 2 ; and 50 passengers, 20 of whom are from Australia, and both mails and pas sengers proceed to Southampton this day by the steamer Indus. Things are proceeding) quietly here, though all are in anxious expectation of the result of the pend ing question between Turkey and Russia, as, if it general war does break out, Egypt will undoubtedly be taken possession of by one or other of the Euro pean powers. Said Pasha, the heir apparent to the Pashalic, has effected a reconciliation with his nephew the Viceroy, and it is to be hoped that it will prove lasting, both for their own individual sakes and for the benefit of the country. The quarrels that have existed among the members of the family of Mehe met Ali, ever since his death, have only served to weaken their position in the country, and might give a pretext to the Sultan to remove them from their present position, should he feel inclined to do so. The river Nile is rising very rapidly, and, to the satisfaction of all, is covering the whole of the valley of Egypt with its fertilising water and allu vial deposit. Meanwhile the winds are blowing strongly from the north, so as to prevent the water from flowing too rapidly into the sea, and, all the canals being filled, the means of communication throughout the land are perfectly free and easy. A supply of men has been provided to enable the railway engineers to go on with their work, but a great check has been. given to its onward progress, by the removal of the sailors who were originally employed on the line, the period of the completion of which now lies in great uncertainty. A few days ago, the Spanish Consul-General here, his son, and his servants, having interfered in a case between a native mason and some of the local police, the latter, not knowing who they were, ill treated them. On this, the Consul-General re paired to the Governor of the town for satisfaction, and he, beini , of a rather hasty temper, forthwith ordered the policemen to be bastinadoed to such an extent that one of them is not expected to sur vive it. _ . . 'The new crops of wheat and beans are beginning to arrive, but prices are still kept up enormously high, even 6s. to 6s. per quarter higher than in England, in consequence of the chances of war. Shipping is still in much demand, and 10s. to 10s. 3d. per quarter are offered for vessels to ar rive. Exchange on London, 98); piastres per pound sterling. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGE NCE (Front the Calcutta Star of Jitly2) • Owing to the interventi on o f th e native holidays, the business of the past fortnight has been considerably cur tailed, but the position of the market has undergone no material change. There has been most articles of export, which, a good demand for on the whole, may be said to have maintained their former value. The remain ing parcels of indigo are u gradually disposed of, and the total quantity shipped amounts to 98,400 maunds,p to the end of last month 100,000 maunds will and there is little doubt that the districts regarding be completed. The accounts from flicting. Raif the new plant are somewhat con seems to have fallen pretty generally and afforded muc h rel i ef, b ut i n some p l ace s there ap pears to have b een ra th er t oo m uch of it, and the want of . sufficiently strong heat is now being compla ined of. Apprehensi ons are also entertained of early inundations. Sugar has continued at its high price, but the ship ments, on comparison with the past month, as well as with the corresponding period of last year, show a great falling off. Raw silk has been in excellent demand, and for good qualities full prices are willingly accorded, There has s been less doing in silk piec e g oods, and the quantity gon forward during the fortnight is very moderate. Saltpetre has been in active demand for Great Britain and America, but the French are not taking any. Rice has b d =meen in moderate request for Mauritius and an a b o ut 30,000 uds have been shipped Bourbon, to England since the Ist of the month. Lac dye continues to be taken tor England and America, but the French appear to be pausing. The same may be said of shell lac. Oilseeds in good demand, mustard being shipped for England, and linseed for the United States. There has been an extensive business done in castor oil, chiefly for England. There has been no demand for cutch, and jute has been somewhat neglected. Safflower has been IDo. £6. Maript.&Ca , rl.4p.c Do. 42 per cent Do 'Mid.Consol.6 p.c.St. Do. Consol.

APPLICATION FOR DISCHARGE BY A " THIRTY-SIX YEARS"' PRISONER.—At the Judges' Chambers, on Sa turday, an old man, named Richard Candin, who has been thirty-six years" in prison, was brought up on a writ of habeas corpus before Mr. Justice Williams, and applied for his discharge. Re complained that he was unlawfully detained in the Queen's Prison. It appeared that he was committed to a Welsh prison in the year 1817, and when the Court of Session was abolished he was brought up to the Fleet Prison, and when that prison was demolished, he was transferred to the Queen's Prison, where be still remains. A vesting order had been ob tained in the Insolvent Debtors' Court, and he was called upon to file his schedule, but he refused. The present ap plication was opposed, on the ground that the original debt still existed ; but the defendent could get his discharge by filing a schedule in the Insolvent Debtors' Court, and an offer had been made to do so, free of expense, but be would not allow it to be done. The applicant denied the latter allegation. Mr. Justice Williams told him he could do nothing for him ; he must file his schedule. The ai plicant said he was unjustly detained, and he would not file his schedule. Mr. Justice Williams : "Then if you are obstinate, you must take the conse quences." The old man contended that he was unjustly in prison, and further urged his case. Mr. Justice Williams decided that he could not assist him; he must file his schedule. The old man left in custody of the gaoler, and was taken to his old quarters in the Queen's Prison. THE PRINCE OF PRUSSIA.--His Royal Highness the Prince of Prussia, who arrived at Osborne on Wednes day, from Ostend, for the purpose of witnessing the naval evolutions at Spithead, arrived in London early on Saturday morning.

Amongst the company were his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, and the general commanding in chief, Viscount Hardinge, The Prince left town by the Dover mail, and leaves for Ostend this day.
