INDIA AND CHINA. We (Times) have received by our ordinary semi monthly express from Marseilles our letters and papers in advance of the Overland Mail, which left Bombay on the 29th of January. The following is the letter of our correspondent at Bombay : - Since the dispatch of the last mail nothing new of consequence has been reported from Burmah. General Godwin's voluminous dispatches concern ing the relief of Pegu have appeared, and are any thing but creditable productions. General God win's own account of his manoeuvres before that town are alone quite sufficient to show that he is as incapable of handling troops under fire as of writing correct English. " First, he tells us," says the Calcutta Chronicle, "that he inclined to hi s r i g ht in order to attack their left, which was their weakest point ;" then "he changed hi s m i n d, an d determined upon attacking their right, because it was their strongest ; then he would lead us to infer that Major Seaton pitched into' the enemy's out- Postexchangingfin musketry' with th em ; th en h e dispatched Major Seaton to attack the enemy's right ; then he recalled hi m , thi n ki ng the point aimed at too strongly gua r d e d ( a ll thi s, by the bye, within 400 yards of the enemy's position); then he paused to count his reserves , an d t o amire the ' interesting sight' of our little columns moving up to this host of people so strongly posted, and in a plain where every object was visible ;' then the attack was made—how, whence, or by whom, we are not informed; and, 'after the action the troops rested in the shade of the tope for an hour."' The general impression regarding these operations is, that, notwithstanding the absence of artillery and cavalry (for which deficiency he was himself only to blame), he could have brought on a close action, in which the Burmese would have suffered severely, had it not been for the indecision he manifested in altering his plan of attack two or three times when within 400 yards of the enemy. It is said that the Burmese right was so closely stockaded in rear, flank, and front, that had he persisted in his ori ginal intention of attacking their left flank, which was completely open, he would have hemmed in a large proportion of the Burmese force ; whereas, by attacking their right, he left the open end of the position clear for their retreat. General God win states that the Burmese force he attacked were known to be the flower of the Burmese army, and, with the intention of conveying as high an idea as possible of their courage, he says, that " some of the men that were drawn up before him had been killed on the walls in their assaults on Pegu." In military circles, Major Hill's defence of Pegu is much praised, and spoken of as the only brilliant exploit of the war. General Godwin left Rangoon for Prome on the 29th of December. No intelligence has been as yet received of his arrival at Prome and subsequent operations, but it is reported that the Burmese force which threatened Prome, and the conquest of which the General had reserved for himself, has evacuated its position, and retired on Meaday. Another rumour is current that there has been a revolution at Ava, but it is not generally credited. The expedition which I mentioned in my last as likely to be dispatched by General Godwin all the way by land from Moulmein, for the attack of Shoygeen, has left Matarbar. The dispatch of this expedition by so long a land route, through thick jungles, against a place which can be ap proached by water by way of Pegu, within some 40 miles, is generally condemned. The com mander of the expedition, General Steel, is, however, considered the most able officer of his grade with the army of Burmah. The bri gade of elephants required for the Land carriage of General Godwin's guns, in the expected advance on Ava, are only now passim: , Arracan. Major Maling, who is observing the Burmese force occupying the Aeng pass until rein forcements arrive which will enable him to force it, is making every effort to occupy the enemy's atten tion until he can pass the elephants along the rear of the British posts. Unfortunately, throughout the whole march of the detachment southward, their left flank will be exposed to attacks from the numerous pathways which diverge from the diffe rent passes. Major Maling has, however, rein forced the elephant escort by 300 of the Arracan local battalion. The Burmese force occupying the Aeng pass is stockaded on a ridge said to be 4,900 feet in height, the only ascent to which is along a narrow spur completely commanded by the fire of the stockade. They have two guns in position, and are expecting nine more. Their position is impreg nable except by shelling. Major Maling has ma d e an attempt to turn it, but after two days' efforts he found the jungle too dense to be penetrable. Meanwhile his little force is suffering very severely from jungle fever. The Governor-General is, how ever, shortly expected at Arracan, and will doubt less expedite the dispatch of the artillery that Major haling requires. Sickness is on the increase among our troops in Burmali. The little war in Assam is over. The Thibetian force being awed by the preparations made to re ceive it have not ventured on an invasion. Their General has sent an humble message to the Com missioner, begging him to forward the head and hands of the defaulting Thibetian that he is in pur suit of, and if that is considered objectionable, that he will at least " report that the defaulter is dead," in order to enable his force and himself to return to Lassa with credit and safety. This request has been, of course, refused • and cholera is said to have broken ou t among the Thibetian troops. The north-west frontier is at present tranquil. Sir Henry Lawrence, President of the Punjab Board of Administration, has been appointed agent., for the Governor-General in the Rajpootanali States, in succession to Colonel Low, transferred to the Nizam's at Hyderabad, on the retirement of General Fraser. The Nizam's financial difficulties continue to increase and every sort of disorder prevails througho u t his dominions. Mr. Wyatt, of the Bengal Civil Service, Judge of Rungpore, has been suspended for corrupt prac tices. The Calcutta press blames the Bengal Go vernment for not having taken this step much earlier, as it is alleged that the Rungpore Court has for years past notoriously had the character throughout Bengal, and among all classes "from the highest to the l owes t o f " b e i ng venal and corrupt almost beyond credibility." Cases of this sort are, happily, very rare among the civil servants of the East India Company, but it is the opprobrium of that service that, whenever they do occur, the offenders are either screened from inquiry, or else let off far more easily than either the uncovenanted or military servants of the State would be under similar circumstances. For instance, about a year ago, a high civil official in Bengal was convicted of having directly, by letter, offered to sell the pa tronage of his office to a native gentleman for a pecuniary consideration ; and though he was re moved from the service he wad allowed to retire on his pension of 1,0001. per annum. Under similar circumstances a military officer would have been inevitably cashiered with every circumstance of ignominy. Many similar instances might be cited. In one of them, which occurred some years ago at Bombay, a member of the civil service of considerable standing, and holding an im portant p o liti ca l appointment, directed a very young subaltern, in command of a detachment about to proceed in pursuit of some insurgents, to give them no quarter if he came up with them, and the subaltern obeyed the orders, shooting the men lie caught ; lie was tried by a court-martial, cashiered, and utterly ruined. The Court reflected very severely on the civil political servant under whose or d ers th e un f ortunate boy had acted, but they had no jurisdiction over him. He was merely suspended for a few months, and declared unfit to employed in future in the political department, but he wastra pnsferred to an equally lucrative ap ointment inthe revenue branch of the service. A report which effect that th e arrived by the last mail, to the nyy, befor© Charter was to be renewed for for one r ie o inordrer to gi ve P ar li amen t ti me q y ar inquiry the p ass i ng o f th e new Act, has given universal satisfaction throughout India. The feeling is general it among all classes, in the service as well as out of that the Charter of the last ode ears is altogether Ilsntastneitable to the pre- Fent advaed and advancing tlndia. The wit n esses already examined by parli selected are gene rall v thought to have been purpos e l y e those interested in the maintenance of the f rom I forward by thi s t?:eresent order of things. tion of the Christian inhabitants of CaleuttaPaetid- Beneul regarding the renewal of the Charter. Then petition confines itself to pointing postponement out exi s ti ng evils and a huees, and asks for year's of the Charter to give time for fuller inquiries regard t 114111 ; hut it leaves the remedy to the wisdom of I':. ilitnneent. The Friend of India, which well merits the high character for moderation and talent given it by Mr. Willoughby, 'in his evidence before the Lords' Committee, and stipendiary, has which, being conducted by a Government , a leaning in favour of the existing state of general things, is compelled to admit the correctness of the allegations contained in the Calcutta petition ; but states, in extenuation, that no allowance has been made for the all hist : perable diffi cu lti es o f th e I n di an Ad m i n i s tration.

The police re quires a thorough reformation." . . . "The civil courts cannot be said to dispense justice, and they are a source of infinite vexation and expense to suitors ; but this is because, first, we have followed the model of the English courts ; secondly, a native is far more gratified when he gains his cause by his success in intrigue than on the ground of its intrinsic merits ; and, thirdly, there is no truth in the country and no credibility in evidence. We might in the same manner go over nearly all the paragraphs in the petition, and show that, with some exceptions, there is generally a substratum of truth in the assertions with which it abounds, although the sub structure too often exhibits the morbid feeling of the writer. The colouring is so deep and sombre as to leave an involuntary impression on the mind that the petition does not give a fair representation of the case, and that it makes no allowance for the all but insuperable difficul ties of the Indian administration." If these are the admissions of a friendly witness, it must be allowed that it is the duty of the Impe rial Government to institute a much fuller inquiry into the working of the Indian administration than any that has yet taken place, before it confirms the existing order of things for so long a period as 20 years. The London Mail of the 24th of December ar rived at Bombay on the 26th of Januiry by the East India Company's steam-frigate Queen. Though the weather was calm, and there were no aceidents to the machinery, the Queen took 14 days between this and Aden, being at the rate of something less than five miles an hour, and the other Government steamers are just as slow. In the European seas there are steamers (the Banshee for example) which have kept up a speed of 16 miles an hour on the average of a year's running, and from two to three times the speed of the Bombay Government mail steam-boats is now constantly attained by the Ame rican Atlantic steamers. with clippers at 25ir. ; for ordinary vessels the rate is 23r. to 25r. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE of YESTERDAY: Exchange.— Shortly after the *departure of the last mail the rates for China-drawn first class bills opened at 2s. lid. and gradually declined to 2s. lid., but in con sequence of advices since received it has begun to rally. The rates on England now are, for credit bills, 2s. lid., and for document 2s. lid: to 2s. lid. On China, 218 rs. per 100 dollars, and on Calcutta 98irs. at 60 days' sight.

(From the Bengal Hurkaru.) The Government overland Bombay express, bringing London news to the Bth of December, arrived early on the morning of the 13th inst. There has been very little change in our export market during the fortnight under notice. The shipments of indigo to all parts from the Ist inst. are 3,490 chests, chiefly to France. Sugar transactions remain on a moderate scale. Raw silk has been sent forward during the first half of the month to a full average ex tent ; and silk piece goods, especially corahs, continue to attract considerable attention. Transactions in salt petre are moderate to all parts. Rice has been exten sively shipped to Great Britain. Business done in lac dyes has been on rather a slender scale, as compared with the large transactions in this article of late. Shellac, however, has been in good request. Hides, for all quarters, have been in good demand. Oil seeds remain in active request, notwithstanding present high prices. Castor oil and jute appear to be both attracting more attention of late. Nothing doing in cutch. Raw cotton continues to go forward to Great Britain more freely than to China. Rum is being freely shipped to Sydney, while there is nothing doing in the article for Great Britain. CROWN OFFICE. MEMBERS RETURNED TO SERVE IN THIS PRESENT PARLIAMENT. Feb. 28.

Commissions by the Lord-Lieutenant of the Tower Hamlets. "By the Berenice we have received the Rangoon Chronicle, a new paper, to the 12th inst., in which we find the following intelligence, but no particulars of the important event announced : By the Hon. Company's steamer Proserpine we have received news from Prome of the downfall and de thronement of the King of Ava, and the desertion by its defenders of the town of Yathay. General Godwin, it is said, intends to destroy the defences at this place, and immediately follow the enemy to the town of Meaday. • "We have the following, per Berenice, from Rangoon, and dated the 13th inst. " General Steel's column left this for Martaban on the 4th inst., and he was to make his advance about the 14th, not before, owing to the want of carriage and other arrangements. The enemy, about 8,000 or 10,000, came down again the other day to Pegu with the view of harassing the garrison. They attacked the picket on the bank of the river near the Commissariat Wharf, killing some of them. They had planted themselves on filo opposite side of the Pegu river, behind a long brick wall, which protected them from our men. On the Bth or 9th the whole force of the enemy were seen going off in the Shoygeen direction, forsaking Pegu. No doubt the know ledge of the arrival of General Steel's column at Marta ban had caused this retreat. A steamer came in from Prome yesterday, the 12th. The stockade at Ithimen is deserted, also that at Meaday. There has beeen a sort of revolution at Ava. The King has gone off ; the heir apparent has taken possession of the place and recalled his troops from the above-mentioned places, and directed hostilities to cease ; still it will be a long time before we can look for peace. The province of Pegu must hare more troops here to do this. Sickness at Prome is great. Lieutenant and Adjutant Miller, 40th Bengal Native Infantry, died of dysentery. Every steamer nearly brings some poor fellows going away on Hick leave. In time this will be a very agreeable spot, but much is required to be done in it." • Robert Hanbury, junior, Esq., to be Deputy-Lieuten ant; Hugh Parn e ll, E sq ., to be Deputy-Lieutenant, Feb.

In our import market there is not much change, but, unfortunately, that little change is on the wrong side, for prices are certainly lower for several descriptions of goods than they were a short time since. The sales of the period under notice are decidedly moderate, consi dering supplies, stocks, and moderate prices. The up country buyers still keep aloof, and there is therefore no outlet for goods in large quantity, and consequently no means of sensibly reducing stocks so as to raise prices at all corresponding to home rates. There is something, but not very much, doing in lappets and mulls, while books are wretchedly dull, and the sales reported quite insignificant. Turkey red goods, twilled and plain, are saleable to a fair extent. Printed goods are dull at pre sent, and likely to continue so for some time to come. Mule twist has only sold to a small extent of late, prices are tolerably firm, but not higher than they were. Turkey red yarns are saleable at former rates. Orange moves out with rather less freedom. Green continues in good demand. The metal market has been extremely flat, only a few sales of copper and iron being reported. Exchange.—Not much alteration in the rates.

CANTON MARKET REPORT. • HONG KONG, JAN. 11. We have little change to notice in our report of the 28th ult. Cotton has receded, owing to the scarcity of money and forced sales.

Monday the 13th half-yearly ordinary meeting of the shareholders of this company was held at the Grays-inn Coffee house, to re ceive the report of the directors, and to transact the other business of the company. The chair was occupied by Sir W. B. Ffoulkes, Bart. The report stated that in compliance with the wish of the proprietors, as ex pressed at the last meeting, a bill had been presented to Parliament to amend the laws which at present govern the proceedings of the company, which had received the first and second reading, and stood committed for the Bth prox. It also stated that the directors had held several interviews with the Eau Brink Commissioners, with a view to the amicable arrangement of the differences at present existing between the two bodies, but without any favourable result. The statement of the accounts up to the Bth instant gave the following particulars :—The total receipts from the foundation of the company amounted to 160,8271. ls. lid., and the balance in hand amounts to 3,5531. 13s. 3d. The Chairman moved the reception and adoption of the report, which was unanimously agreed to. The outgoing directors and auditors were theca re-elected. At this stage of the proceedings, the Chairman declared the general meeting concluded, and announced that in pur suance of notice a special meeting would be then held to have submitted to it the draft of the bill at present be fore Parliament. The meetix ig having accordingly become special, Mr. Eames expk.ined the principles of the bill, after which Mr. Deaker 'moved, and Mr. Arme seconded, a resolution to the effect that the meeting approved of the bill, and ordered, that the common seal of the com pany should be affixed to it. A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the proceedings. A SHOCKING HAT.—Some persons, wearing Calabrian hats, have been arrested at Dresden by the police.

( Front the London New Price Current of yesterday.) SUGAR.—To-day there were ready buyers of West India sugar for home consumption; and the prices offered are fully equal to those of Friday both for grocery and refining sorts, but business was checked by a scanty supply. At auction 300 hhds and 10 boxes Barbadoes went freely at firm rates ; fine yellow at 39s to 40s, middling to good 37s to 38s 6d ; 76 hhds Demerara crysalized, brown 32s Gd to 35s Gd, and ordinary to good yellow 36s to 39s 6d. Total operations amount to 460 hhds, &c., and the market closes with a firm aspect. REFINED.—TO-day the home trade demand was active for refined sugar, and stiff prices were obtained; brown lumps selling at 45s 6d, and low to fine grocery 46s to 48s 6d per cwt. Crushed sugar much wanted by exporters at former terms. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the supply was more plentiful of Madras sugar, and prices rather declined, still at auction 8,700 bags were nearly all sold, middling to good middling grocery at 34s to 365, low 31s to 335, and soft yellow 29s to 325. The demand remains good for Bengal, and former terms are well kept up. FOREIGN.—Since Saturday a fair amount of business has been concluded in Foreign Sugar by private treaty, and stiff rates are obtained. A cargo of fine brown Parabia sold at 19s 6d ; 2,000 chts yellow Havannah duty paid 35s to 398; some parcels Bahia, brown 31s to 31s, and yellow 34s 6d to 365. - - MOLASSES.-Supply is yet not adequate for the demand and there are several buyers of Antigua at ifs 6d to 18s, other sorts of West India 16s to 17s ; Bengal and Mauri tius 15s to 15s 6d ; Cuba and Porto Rico 16s 6d to 17s 6d per cwt. • _. . _ MAURITIUS.—This afternoon Mauritius Sugar realised full rates, and the public sales of 3,485 bags went with fair spirit ; low to middling yellow at 35s to 365, good 36s 6d to 37. 6d, fine brown 34s to 355, low middling to good 31s 6d to 33s Gd, refining 34s to 375, fine grainy yellow 40s to 41s, middling to good 38s to 39s 6d per cwt. COFFEE.—To-day there was only a limited demand for native Ceylon, yet holders are firm and obtained 48s to 48s 6d for good and of new import. In colory plantation many purchases were made, chiefly for home consumption, and former rates are well kept up, but pale and greyilih met with little attention ; still in the value there is no change. Costa Rica is wanted, and stiff rates are offered, but few parcels can be obtained. Mocha sells more freely, at last week's quotations. COCOA.—There is an increasing demand for West India, and supply being less than previously, stiffer rates are obtained, low to good Red Trinidad selling at 36s to 395, fine 40s to 435, grey 32s to 365, and Grenada 31s to 375. TEA.—A reluctance is manifested to operate in low to good common Congou, and more desire is evinced to sell at 10d to 101 d per lb. Prices are not higher for other sorts, although there continues to be: a large demand, rather blackish to blackish leaf selling at lOid to is, strong to Pekoe sorts is OAd to is 9d, and choice is 10d to 2s 2d, but chiefly is to is sd. Prices for green rule as follows : Hyson ord is id to is 2d, mid is 3d to is sd, good is 6d to is 9d, fine is 10d to 2s 7d, superior 2s 8d to 3s. Young Hyson Canton 10d to ls, Hyson is 2d to 1s 10d. fine 2s to 2s 3d, Twankay 10d to is ld, Gunpowder Can ton 10d to is id, Hyson kind is 2d to 2s 9d, fine 3s to 3s Gd, Imperial Canton is to is 2d, Hyson sort is 3d to 2s 3d, Hyson skin 8d to ls. RICE.—To-day East India rice was held for full rates, but little was done privately, at auction 846 bags Bengal were taken in at 128 for good white. SALTPETRE.—The present value of Calcutta is 24s 6d to 28s, fine 28s 6d to 29s 6d, and Madras 24. to 265. British refined is held for 29s 6d to 30s, yet little is doin g . Nitrate of Soda is still on the rise, and sells at 19s 6d to 20s on the spot, at 19s for arrival. INDIGO.—Since the conclusion of the East India sales a good home and export demand has prevailed, and the ad vance established thereat is fully supported for all sorts. Spanish is wanted at previous prices, and a less amount is on offer. OILS.—A material increase is apparent in demand for Sperm, and there is an advance-881. to 901. having been obtained, and 901. to 931. for Ffeadmatter. Seal is more plentiful, and not being much required prices have given way. TALLow.—Although lower prices have been accepted for Russian on the spot, yet only a limited demand has been experienced, and fine yellow Candle is 44s to 44s 3d per cwt. Operations are immaterial for delivery, and at 44s there are sellers for last three months of the year. Home melted is cheaper, 44s to 44s 6d per cwt having been ac cepted, cash, yet the demand has been good. CHINA. A correspondent's letter, dated Hong Kong, January 11, is as follows : We have little of interest to report since the de parture of the mail of the 28th ult. The semi monthly, of Bth November, we received yesterday, via Calcutta. To-day's mail proceeds via Gallo. The 24th November mail is daily expected. Everything remains quiet at Canton. The re ports concerning the disturbances are meagre and contradictory. Her Majesty's steamer Hermes returned on the 6th from the Prata Shoal, whence she had been dispatched, by Captain Massie, in search of another reported wreck ; but the old wreck of the Char lotte was the only vessel on the reef. From Amoy the last date is to the 6th inst. All was quiet there. The emigration of labourers was going on extensively in the neighbouring port of Swarton, and apparently in a satisfactory manner ; the emigrants being anxious to leave, and, coming from a district of sugar cultivation, promise to be very beneficial to the West Indies. Trade was dull at Amoy, both in shirtings and cotton yarns. From Shanghai our dates reach to the 3d inst. There had been one or two further shocks of earth quake, but nothing serious. The arrival of the 25th October mail, on the 24th ult., caused an advance of 1 tad on tea, and 5 dol. to 10 dol. on silk. At Canton there has been more demand for shirt ing-s, but at low rates. Other articles remain the same. Money had become scarce. Exchange high, and bullion lower. We have no change to notice in the disposition of her Majesty's ships on this station. Her Ma jesty's ship Spartan, Sir William Hoste, is looked for to relieve her Majesty's ship Cleopatra.. Our latest dates are—from England, Bth Novem ber ; Calcutta, 19th December ; Bombay, 6th De cember ; Singapore, 29th December ; Manilla, 21st December ; Port Philip, 27th October ; Sydney (per ship Castle Eden), 12th November ; Shangai, 3d January. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. THE BOMBAY MARKETS. FROM THE 13TH TO THE 28TH OF JANUARY INCLUSIVE. Cotton Piece Goods.,—The market continued dull until the arrival of a fresh supply, when holders in many instances having shown a desire to realise, a consider able amount of business was done at the expense of re duced prices. Grey Shirtings.-40-inch of all descriptions, with the exception of 48 reed sid., which is without hange, is extremely dull ; the stock is small, and prices have de clined from 2 to 4 annas per piece. Shirtings of 45- inch are also dull, and have declined from 1 to 3 annas per piece. Grey Madapolams.--With the exception of the lowest qualities, which retain the value last quoted, all descrip tions have declined from 1 to 2 annas per piece. Grey jaconets have declined in value about la. per piece ; very little business has been done. Grey Longcloth.—The higher qualities are not in re quest, but a good inquiry exists for 81b. and 841 b. Grey T Cloth. —The inquiry is fair, but prices have declined 2a. per piece. Grey Domestic.—A good demand exists for 40-inch, which is likewise scarce ; other descriptions are not in great request. Grey shirting of 36 inches and 40 yards of all descrip tions are in good demand, at an advance of 2a. per piece. The supply in the market is scarce. • Satin spots of 33 inches and 24 yards are in request, and have risen from 2a. to 4a. per piece. Bleached twills are in request ; bleached madapollams are scarce and much wanted. Bleached jaconets, of the finer descriptions, are dull of sale, but a fair demand exists for qualities from low to medium. Turkey Red.—Plain, twill, and mule are all in re quest. Fancy Goods.—Dhoties, lappet scarfs, fine Swiss lap pets, dyed mulls, and zebra dresses, are in moderate in quiry ; while bleached mulls, low lappets, and book muslins are dull. Cotton Yarn.—To within the last week the market was dull, and scarcely any business done ; but since then, in consequence of holders having submitted to a slight reduction in price, business has become brisk. Dyed Turkey red is in request, while orange is rather dull. Metals.—English bar iron and round nailrod are in good demand, but without improvement in value ; while sheet, hoops, and square nailrod are readily saleable at improved rates. Swedish bar iron has slightly declined in price, and is dull of sale. Swedish steel is in request, and has risen in value. Faggots are without any change worthy of note. Lead, both pig and sheet, meet with ready sale at the rates quoted in our last report. Spelter is in fair request, at slightly enhanced value. Tin plates are rather dull, and have slightly declined in value. Copper dull of sale. South American is without change. Sheathing has slightly declined, and Bazier's bottoms, and tiles are in moderate inquiry, at slightly improved rates. Nails and rods are without alteration, Red lead is dull, and prices have further receded. White lead is in demand at llrs. per cwt. Quicksilver in demand at enhanced rates. Cochineal is difficult of sale, and prices have receded to lirs. to lr. 14ans. The stock in the market is consider able. Saffron has further declined, and is difficult of sale. ce P hLu en p n f ee ec r so B 6 h i in u r t scg.ooltoodhas 62rs. declined to 65rs. to 66r5., and d A m V a o r o i l n le e n s s ir — t ow :T i r s h s . request.

The following is an extract of a letter from William Hewitt, dated Melbourne, Oct. 20 :—" It cannot be too widely or too publicly made known what those who come here have to exp e ct on landin g . Th e y should be wellinformed of this, that they may calculate their funds accordingly. There are numbers of our fellow-passen gers who have not yet got their effects out of the ship, and thus have had to stop a month in this exorbitant place. All luggage has to pay 11. per ton measurement by the lighter, 11. 10s. by the steamer ; but, in truth, I have seen none of the goods measured—they are merely guessed at. The clerks at the wharf, after they have come up the river in the lighter, as soon as a cart is loaded with a passenger's effects, say That cart is 31. or 41. lighter age,' and they will not let it go out of the yard till the money is paid. I was made to pay 41. for one cart load— the whole of my effects having cost 71. 10s. from London. But, as I happened to have with me my London mea surement, I got it corrected. Such, however, is not the case with many people ; they know that it is wrong, but they are obliged to pay. This is a strange way of doing business ; but they have many strange ways here, and they now only look on 20s. sterling as so many pence. Passengers should know that guessing is not measuring, and should be prepared to show what the true measure ment is. People coming hither should reflect, too, that they are coming into a colony abounding with expert thieves, who have been shipped from England to Sydney and Van Diemen's Land, and have assembled here to dig for gold in the pockets and coffers of the immi grants. There is no safety for the goods in the lighters, as the lightermen are very frequently finished thieves of the convict class, and they employ themselves, as the lighters come slowly up the river, in explor ing the interior of the packages entrusted to them, and selecting what suits them best. If the passengers find themselves minus such articles, there is no chance of re covering the value, unless they can prove that the packages went safely out of the ship into the lighter, and that they themselves saw the packages come out of the lighter. But this is a very difficult matter, and cannot be done, unless the passengers go down to the ship every day and watch the things put in ; and to do this they must often go down for a month together, at a cost of 16s. per day for a single individual. Once out of the lighter 11. per load is demanded for carting your things into the town ; once in the town another great difficulty is to be encountered—the difficulty of getting into any lodgings, even at the most astounding prices. Notwith standing the temporary wooden houses erected and the tents pitched on all sides of the town, the price of the poorest lodgings is four times what it would be in Lon don, sometimes tenfold. Even for the tents you are charged ss. a-week standing room on the common round the town. I think that Government should allow immi grants the privilege of pitching their tents on the waste lands without charge at a time when they are profess ing great anxiety to accommodate them. Some of our fellow passengers are giving 21. and 31. a-week for poor empty rooms. I saw a cottage yesterday at Colling wood which would let for about 101. a-year in England, c a a a s l e l .d for r s a l w so . n ; o t t h h e e r s a w m h e i c h h a sa bee f e w n but for which 2001. a-year is paid, without any garden saevgeorawlatsimpuesr: y so ea ld rs each time advancing in price, till now it is 12,0001. I saw a house to-day which might be built in England for 1,0001., and which was offered to Government for the use of the officers of the barracks for 4,500/., but as they hesitated the price then rose to 6,600/., and the Government took it lest it should go still higher. The Melbourneites have taken a few leaves out of the books of the Sybil. In this oddly circumstanced place, there fore, when the immigrants get their goods liberated and are ready to proceed to the diggings, they are next met by terrible accounts of the state of the roads, which early in the year are only too true, and they must pay from 701. to 1201. per.ton for carriage for about 80 miles, or they must purchase a cart for 501. and a strong horse for 1001., or a couple of lighter ones for 80/,, to get their effects up the country. They must carry up all sorts of stores, especially flour, or they must pay at the rate of 101. per sack, and 3s. and 4s. for the 41b. loaf, and so on. They must do this, or they must trudge upon foot, as thousands and thousands do, with only a bundle on their backs containing a basket and a pick, and a spade on their shoulders. These men, hardy as they are, have to stop und er a tree or the open heavens, and become, many of them, cramped with rheumatism and attacked with dysentery. Such are the realities which meet the adventurer on the thres hold of the land of gold. These ar9 followed by hard ships and severity of labour that men accustomed t o offices and banks are totally unfitted for. Hence there are so many failures, and number in are Inet coming d own again perfect dejection and desti▪ tution. I hop e th a t long before this reaches England there facts will have been publishe • d—these obverse features of the golden medal of Australia Felix. But what must be the a moun t of distress when the number here is ,ugmented by the tens and hundreds of thousands coming from Am er i ca , Jamaica, England , and the Conti▪ nent ? I perceive a considerable number of French and Germans here al ready. It begins now to be an opinion that in a few months, such is the swarm of people pouring in, there will be plenty of labour of all kinds, and then things will speedily find their level, to the astonish:went of those who have purchased houses and land at the present exorbitant prices. In a while the colony- will absorb them all." ABDICATION OF A FOREIGN PRINCE.—The German Journal of Frankfort, under date of Jassy 4th, says : " The reigning Prince Ghika has abdicated, in conse quence of the state of his health. There is a clause in the treaty of Balta Liman which states that, in the event of the illness or death of the reigning prince, a provisional government shall be established, composed of the Ministers of the Interior, Justice, and Foreign Affairs, which shall last for 7 years. Prince Ghika was elected Hospodar on the 16th June, 1849. It is thought that the Russians will enter the bincipalities," SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. LOWESTOFT HARBOUR-TO MASTERS OF VESSELS. Particular attention is directed to the following advice in the book of regulations, page 4:— A red flag will be hoisted on the Look-out Station when the gates are open, and kept flying the time vessels draw ing_lo feet water can enter the inner harbour. Vessels may enter the outer harbour at all times of tide; and masters are advised to carry sufficient sail, and keep their vessels properly under command, to hug the weather pier-head, especially with a southerly wind and ebb tide ; and to carry sufficient after sail, with a northerly wind, to enable them to luff up after passing the pier heads, and fetch into a clear berth to anchor, or to sail through the inner pier heads; by neglecting these necessary precautions, vessels frequently drive to leeward and get damage against the piers.
