B RITISH COLLEGE OF HEALTH, NEW-ROAD, LOSDON. Report of Richard Tothill, Esq., of Heavitree, near Exeter, 31. R C.S.L., for 1847. " I have now for twelve years conducted the Exeter Ilygeian Dis pensary, wherein the poor of Exeter and its neighbourhood have been treated gratuitously with Mr. Morison's purely Vegetable Medicine Of the British College of Health, and I am still more confirmul in my °Pinion (from practical experience, not in one or two cases, but in hundreds), that the Ilygeitin system is founded in truth. T he cases Which have been cured by that excellent medicine have not been of a common character, being, as I may say, the incurables of the hos pitals at Exeter, it being only after trying all sorts of treatment, that Patients have recourse, as a last resort, to the Hyeian medicines. hie names of the parties and their addresse s are recorded in my hook for the inspection of the public. I have treated upwards of 300 poor Patients during the past year, and have now about 150 on the Dispens ary books. In conclusion, I beg to return my sincere thanks to the subscribers to the Dispensary. (Signed) " RICHARD TOTHILL, Surgeon, &c. "November 1, 1847." OVER -COATS NOT OVER-CIIARGED.

Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions, in order that It may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused, the prolific source of mischief, and of greater or less injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on the Nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, than any other to which it is subject. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Pbrdology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what suhject can be of more imtiortance than the preservation of the health, and of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired 10 early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering fro.'n their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap plyhtg to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination in ascertaining the causes of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelll,ent and practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by his posse sion of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. LA.'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

Diffidence, or a sense et right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em- Isitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosing hurry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical Incapacity, anti broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement.

On Saturday and Monday a new lighthouse appa ratus, constructed by Mr. Alexander Gordon, mem ber of the Institution of Civil Engineers, by order of the Trinity Corporation, was exhibited at Messrs. De Ville and Co.'s, of 367, Strand. Mr. Gorden has for many years directed his talents and attention to lighthouses, and, after extensive experience in fitting and improving the lights, has at length produced, under the highest auspices, a system of lights so powerfully concentrated as to promise in their adop tion a very great antage to ocean and river navi gation. In soliciting attention to his Beam of Light (before sending the apparatus to the Trinity Board, to whose liber . ality its construction is due), Mr. Gordon re quests attention to the following observations:— " About the year 1792 glass refractors, five inches thick and twenty inches diameter, were substituted for reflectors, the focal point being nineteen inches distant; and they were to be seen in use in an Eng lish lighthouse as late as the year 1832. Buffon had proposed to reduce such a refractor in thickness, by cutting the lens into steps, so as to absorb less light. In 1811, it occurred to Sir David Brewster that a lens, or set of lenses, might be built of separate pieces of glass. In 1819, the late M. Fresnel proposed that the generating sections of the rings not only ought not to have the same centre, but even that the different centres should not be situated on the same axis of the lens. A few years afterwards M. Fresnel engaged M. Soleil to construct eight such lenses for the light house of Corduan. In 1827, the Trinity Board wit• nessed some experiments with a lens of the kind, which had been made by Mr. Gilbert, under the direction of Sir David Brewster. In 1828, that board imported a lens from France. In 1833, I in troduced a polyzonal arrangement (both dioptric and catoptric), constructed by M. Marizz, of the Hague. And, subsequently, the Trinity Board, and particularly the Commissioners of Northern Lights, at the in stance of Mr. Alan Stevenson, introduced the French system extensively in England and Scot land. In 1840, I constructed a revolving light for Jamaica, with liuddart's reflectors, and without refractors. In 1843, my Bermuda lighthouse tower had Fresnel's system mounted upon it, contrary to my recommendation in favour of very large prolate reflectors. In 1846, I constructed a fixed light, for Point de Galle, with very prolate reflectors." Lighthouses and lights have been the prolific sub ject of imposition on the country in erection, as they have been the source of the most vexatious annoy ances and heartburnings to the shipowners and steam navigation companies. The cause of this is very easily seen and understood. There never was any responsible management of them. Some lighthouses are managed by the Colonial Department, some by the Admiralty, others by the Ordnance Department, and a great many, and a portion of all, by the Trinity Corporation. Colonial lights have been specially neglected, and those which have been attended to have been erected at an extravagant cost, and are kept up at a very expensive rate, and yet remain very defec tive. The Jamaica lighthouse, for instance, con structed of iron and imported from this country, has, in fitting and keeping up, cost about double the money it ought to have been established for, and the Bermuda iron lighthouse, although erected at much smaller cost, was, with Fresnel's sys tem mounted on it so defective that the naval authorities complained of its general ob scurity to the Home Government. The Ceylon light house, with very prolate reflectors, by Mr. Gordon, now in course of erection, bids fair to show a marked improvement in every respect. Upon the success of of this light Mr. Gordon brought the whole subject of colonial lights before Sir Robert Peel, and the Admiralty having reported favourably on it, Mr. Gordon introduced the matter to the Earl of Auck land, with such effect that the subject at present oc cupies the attention of three departments of the Go vernment which are more immediately connected with the lights and the ways and means provided for them. Mr. Hume, M.P., and others, have interested themselves most warmly in the matter ; and we have reason to believe that the whole business of light houses and lights will shortly be referred to a com mission. This new system of lights by Mr. Gordon is a fol lowing out of his prolate reflectors, as applied to the Ceylon ;Lighthouse, by saving the radiated light which formerly escaped passed the lips of the re flector. This latter portion of the light which was formerly lost, is now bent down and thrown into the beam. The specimen light exhibited on Monday was a single one of great concentrated power; and although the light was only about an inch in diameter from a common Argand lamp, its dazzling brilliancy was scarcely subdued at a distance of fifty yards. Mr. Gordon says he combines a very prolate reflector and the refractor of Sir David Brewster deprived of its central portion ; and by this system, says he, " I am enabled to throw into a beam nearly 27-28ths of the whole light generated by an Argand lamp." The parabolic or conic reflector fixed horizontally opened at 131 inches from the light (which was inserted through the top of the cone), at a diameter of 151 inches, and at 14 inches from the mouth of the re flector were fixed glass zones used as the refractors, being composed of four circles, varying in size and thickness, the inside of an even face, but on the out side the glass was cut away into curved steps, so as to prevent useless portions from absorbing any of the light. Mr. Gordon proposes to use these new " systems" in some lighthouses immediately. For Revolving Lights—To use one or more of these systems, each furnished with an Argand burner, on one or more revolving faces, according to the size of the required beam. For Fixed Lights—To use such a number of these systems as will light the circle of 360 deg., or any required portions of the circle ; twenty-four systems, each with its own lamp, for the whole circle, and twelve systems for the half circle, and so on; one system to 15 deg. For Flashing or Intermit ting Lights—Such combination of these systems as the situation may require. For Steam-ship Lights, or Railway Lights—A similar but smaller system. The source of light being any that is known and con venient for the required purpose. During the two days in which the light has been exhibited it has been inspected by many official and scientific men, and of the illuminati we may mention Dr. Ure, Mr. Scanlon, Major Hyslop, of the Madras Artillery ; General Fanshawe, R.E , of the fortifica tion department of the Board of Ordnance; Captain Fanshawe, Mr. Brand, of the Treasury; Mr. Pea cock, of the East India House ; Commander Miles, R.N., of the Hydrograpersi-office, &c. The system has been delivered to the Trinity Corporation, who will exhibit it for trial at Purfleet. 3, b} —y,l Fluke, ,edorefuffiig.iils.t s and a t afflictedt the [ A c a n s ev withEo I t f T 1 1 S rt : Henrys.

TAPPING A STATUE.--For some time back it has been observed that the statue of George 11., at the end of the Parade , has been in an inclining osition, with an evident tendency to fall over. Accordingly it was deemed desirable to examine into its condition, when, in consequence of some of the lead on which it rested hav ing corroded, it was considered necessary to place an iron bar under it to prop it tip_ When performing the operation it was ascertained that the interior of the horse had become quite full of water, which had gradually oozed down through a small hole behindd the the saddle, the weight of which greatly endangere safety of the statue, and it became apparent that the process of tapping should be undergone to remove the water. Accordingly preparations aro making fur that purpose, and in a few days we may expect to se e the leaden horse of the statue of George the Second operated upon for a fit of dropsy. As soon as this is completed, it is in contemplation to bronze the Aatue, and make it more ornamental to that part of the city than it has been heretofore.—Ccrk Southern Reporter.

OVERLAND MAIL 1 N 1 A. (From the Times.) We received by express from Marseilles our litters from India in anticipation of the overland mail of the 30th of September. The dates thus received are from Bombay to the 30th, Madras to the 20th, and Calcutta to the 16th of September. The utmost tranquillity prevailed throughout India. Mr. Pringle, of the civil service, had replaced Sir Charles Napier in Sinde, with the rank of Commis sioner. Brigadier Dundas had command of the troops. Mr. Clerk, the Governor of Bombay, in tended to visit Sinde in November, to report upon the provinces of the Lower Indus. The Governor-General was to leave the hills early in October, intending, it was said, to proceed in the first instance to Cawnpoor, where he would have an interview with the King of Oucle, w ho would pass to the left bank of the Ganges for that purpose ; and it was believed that Lord llardinge intended on that occasion to come to an arrangement with the King to induce him to make over his regal authority, in order 'that efficient steps might be taken to arrest the increasing disorganization and suffering in those ten itories. The measures said to be contemplated by the Go vernor-General to-induce his Majesty of Lucknow to make this concession, were the offer of a handsome pension, secured on a portion of the revenues of Oude, upon condition that he should cede all political authority into our hands, or the alternative, on our part, of the withdrawal by proclamation of the sup• port we had hitherto afforded him, thus leaving his fate to be decided by his subjects. No doubt whatever was entertained as to the suffi ciency of this latter measure, should it be resorted to. But no such contingency was expected, It was not doubted but that the Ring would accept the libe ral terms of regal wealth and pageantry which would be offered, since, addicted to luxury, he ill supports the cares of a distracted and impoverished state, where the revenue has to be collected by fifty thou sand bayonets. It is affirmed also that arrangements are likewise in contemplation with respect to the government of the Nizam. It is, however, considered probable that the measures likely to be enforced at Hyderabad would not be of so decided a nature as in the case of Oude, from the somewhat better character of the Prince ; and it was thought that he would be per mitted to retain his authority upon certain liberal concessions to be made to his subjects. But we are also told that no doubt our intervention would leave the Prince with a still more circumscribed territory, the cession of a further portion of which might be expected in liquidation of a debt to our Government of 30 laes, and which it appears is likely to be con siderably increased before a settlement by payments of arrears to his Arab mercenaries, whose disorderly proceedings have compelled him twice during the last few months to solicit our interference. The news from the Punjaub continues, as before, to be most satisfactory. Besides the imprisonment of the dissolute Ranee, or Queen-Mother, the in stigator of the late war, and who was still, it is said, engaged in every species of intrigue against our authority, the Durbar have recently issued two pro clamations, one abolishing infanticide and suttee, and the other announcing the suppression of forced labour. The imprisonment of the Queen, who formerly went by the title of " the Seikh Mother," had not produced the slightest popular commotion. The eldest son of the Maharaja of Cashmere was on his way to visit the Governor-General at Simla, to take leave of his Lordship in his father's name preparatory to Lord Hardinge's departure from India. The Dncoit chief Doongur Singh had been cap tured in Rajpootana, but not until a force of 6,000 men had taken the field in various directions against him. By general orders, dated " Simla, September 8," her Majesty's 21st and 28th Regiments were di rected to be held in readiness to embark for England. Trade had somewhat improved, both at Calcutta and Bombay. Full commercial details will be found below. From Alexandria our dates are to the 22d ult. They announce the arrival of the lion. East India Company's steam-frigate Moozuffer, which left Kurrachee on the Ist of October, arrived at Suez on the 17th, and had brought to Egypt Lieutenant General Sir Charles Napier, Lady Napier, Mrs. W. Napier and child, Airs. J. Napier and child, Captain W. Napier, Mr. Graham, Mr. Harris, and Mrs. Hewitt. General Napier and his family were at Cairo, where they in tended remaining for eight or ten days before going to Alexandria. The Hon. East India . Company's steamer Semi ramis arrived at Suez on the 19th ult., with the Bombay mail of the Ist ult. and seven passengers, who proceeded on the 22d to Malta and Southampton b y the English steam er A r i el. The following casualties by death in the armies of India, since the departure of the mail of the 11th of September, are reported in the papers received by this express : Her Majesty's Troops— Quarter-Master Kneebone, 29th Foot, at Calcutt a , on t h e 11th of S eptem b er.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE BOMBAY. (From the Bombay Times.) SEPTEMBER 30, 5 P.M.—The quiet rule of our markets since the departure of the last mail affords us little else to note on the present occasion than the transactions that have had effect in them. Imports are in much the same position as at the date of our last. The business transacted has been limited, except in cotton fabrics, in which it will be seen an increased amount has been done, but on ca t u e hrni r ad : l n ne g s rp , ert g ehfs e oee n roa e ttvrhaeelrappearancesaverage, speaking, htedh o n ef s a nalt last ott ff clay indicateorsvtoiall‘ovae impor t ers, ei arvllittleearl y had a further serious decline in the rate of exchange on England, a circumstance that will tend still more to embarrass the import market. Cotton Manufectures—A good inquiry has existed for shirting 3, Madapollams, and jaconets, in the gray, which importers have supplied with more freedom than they did in the early part of the month, and a fair amount of business has, therefore, resulted at the extreme prices of last mail, and in some instances at a slight advance, shirting and jaconot up to medium quality being 2 annas per piece better now than they then were. Longcloth, 40 .inch, continues to be in quired qu a ir s foryedetd previ ous doll. Course and heavy makes, o f w hich prices, for dyeing, but domestic the few sales reported chiefly consist, are a l one sale able, the absence of buy ers for Persia causin g fine makes to be almost entir el y ne g lected. is In bleached goods there is a fair inquiry for in ferior j:lconet, as also a slight one for inferior butMack aPc°tliloamnss' ties are comparatively neglected. Shirtin also is thereforethe phraivceesboe ff re e n limited; m a i r t e e still d: thelo low, betterand trans actions dull of sale, and very little has been done in g it. In dyed goods and prints sales have been very con fined, the former in Turkey red only being realisable at a low figure, while the best quality of Swiss prints of approved styles in the same dye is alone saleable at anything like fair prices. Of ordinary kinds some trifling sales have been made at even lower rates than prevailed last season. - Scotch Goods—Sales to a moderate extent are re ported in several kinds of fancy goods, and some few in bleached mulls, at about previous prices. There appears to be a good demand fur orange dresses. Cotton Yarn—Gray has been in very steady re quest, but sales have been very limited, owing to the principal importers refusing to part' with their stocks at the prices offered, which are a shade higher for the lower counts than at the date of our last dispatch. the following are the sales reported to us :-12,0001b. mule, No. 20, at 6i annas; No. 30, at 7 annas; No. 40, at 7i annas ; No. 50, at 9 annas ; No. 60, at 94 annas per lb. 5,0001 b. mule, No. 20, at 61 annas. 10,000 lb. mule, No. 40, at 7i annas; 15,000ib. water, No. 20, at 7i annas ; No. 30, at 8 annas; and No. 40, at 9i annas per pound. . Dyed yarn is in the same position as before, Turkey red continuing quite neglected and unsaleable, while orange could readily be disposed of at the old figure. Cotton Thread—We have heard of a sale of 2,8001 b. No. 10 up to 100 at 1 rupee per pound. Woollens—The., inquiry is still languid, and the sales undernoted are whathave come to our knowledge. The prices obtained for the low and medium qualities are a slight improvement upon what ruled last season for similar cloth, but those for the higher are under last season's rates : R. A. P. 1,153 yards save list cloth, at l 9 6 per yard 291 „ medium ditto „ 2 5 6 „ 1,254 „ blue army cloth „ 2. 1 0 „ 783 , assorted colours „ 4 3 6 „ In flannel ' there is nothing doing. Metals.—lron—ln bar nothing has been done, either in Swedish or British; the latter, however, is wanted by the dealers, and our extreme quotation would be given for a good current assortment; but holders will not sell at it. Hoop also is much wanted. none being in first hands, and our quotation could now be obtained. A sale of 600 cwt. sea-water damaged has been effected at 6 rupees per cwt. ; sheet and nail rod are unchanged. In the latter a sale of 150 candies of square has been made at 45 rupees per candy. Copper is at last reviving, a goad demand prevailing for it, and prices are in the ascendant. The only sales we have heard of are 250 cwt. of brazier's, at 61 rupees ; 1,400 cwt. of ditto, the price of which has not transpired; and 500 cwt. of South American, at 47 rupees per cv.t. Pig lead has been sold to the extent of 500 cwt., at rupees per cwt., and the price is now somewhat higher. In sheet, tin plates, or Swedish steel there have been no transactions— prices for all are as quoted. Of iron nails 713 kegs have been disposed of at 17 rupees per cwt., and the market is now bare. In spelter we hear of a sale of 1,000 cwt. at 13 11-16 rupees per cwt. Cochineal-9001b black have been sold at 3i rupees per lb, but in silver nothirg has been done; the nominal price of the latter is 4 rupees per lb. Saffron—There is some inquiry for, but nothing has been done in it since our last. Beer—ls in but limited demand, and the sales of the fortnight are confined tQ about 80 hhds. Allsopp's at 75 rupees to 80 rupees, and a few of Bass's, in re tail, at the same figure. Spirits—An import of brandy in wood, from Bordeaux direct, has been received since our last—say 4,800 gallons, and which is said to have been sold at 31 rupees per gallon ; with 7,000 boxes at 9 rupees per dozen. We continue our quotation of 31 rupees per gallon for the former, as the same is still obtain able. Gin in inquiry at the price quoted. Among the minor articles of import we notice sales of Red Lead-200 cwt in casks of 1 cwt, and 50 cwt in casks of 2 cwt, at 13 3 1 rupees per cwt. Copperas-500 cwt at 3 5-16 rupees per cwt. Lametta—Gold and Silver, 25 cases, at 2- to 7f rupees per corge. Orsidue—Seven cases at 2 7-16 rupees, and three cases at 21 rupees per lb. Bottles-100 gross of Liverpool quarts, at 13 annas per dozen; 100 gross of London quarts, at 16 annas per dozen; and 50 gross of Liverpool pints, at 10 annas rer dozeu. Crown Glass-8 inches by 10, to 16 inches by 20, to the extent of 450 boxes, at 20 rupees per 200 feet. [PRICE SD. rates. Metals have also been inquired after, and, although the sales have not been large, sellers have in most cases been able to obtain an advance, in conse quence of the lightness of the stocks in hand. The money market continues abun.lantly supplied; and, although the Lanks still adhere to their former rates of interest end discount, lows on depo..-it of Go - vernment Securities are procurable through private sources on much easier terms. Government Securities have not advanced, being checked by the Company's Five per Cent. Loan remaining open, whereas, if this were closed, a considerable improvement would, doubtless take place. For the closing of the regular mail per 13.:ntinck rates of exchange ruled from Is. 11d. to is. 11 id. fur six months' sight, and Is. 111(.1 to Is. Iq-1. for ten months' date, but for the after dispatch more drawers having come forward remitters were enabled to obtain more favourable terms, Is. llid. having been accepted for six months' paper. The extensive demand for tonnage having continued, rates of freight have been supported, and for London a slight advance obtained ; since the arrival, however, of the express the tendency has been downwards, but no actual transactions have taken place. Indigo—The very unfavourable reports previously noticed from Mirzapore and Benares have been fully confirmed, and it is now evident there will be a con siderablefalling off from those districtF. Biiangui pore has closed with considerably less than was ex pected, the total outturn of which will not exceed much thatof last year; manufacturing in Tirhoot is now drawing to a close, and there is little chance of its sending down more than 18,000 inaunds, should it even reach this figure: from the different factories in Kishnaghnr,:which are still at work, complaints are daily coming in of the great falling off in the pro duce of the plant, so that this district, which was petted to have made a good season, will not under the most favourable circumstances exceed an average. There is now very little probability of the previous estimate of 115,000 maunds being reached, and pre sent appearances warrant a reduction to 110,000 mann& to 112,000 maunds, and even this calculation may still prove too high. Sugar—A steadily increasing demand has been ex perienced for all descriptions of Benares sugar ; finer qualities, however, !still continue most in favour, and rather higher prices have been paid for them. The decline in the English markets does not appear ' to have had any material effect here, previous prices being well supported. Local refiners are still in the market for khaurs, and the common sorts of lower Bengal sugars ; but for export there is nothing doing. Exports to Great Britain from Ist inst. up to 17th are 83,941 maunds. Saltpetre—The imrroved datnand perceptible fur this staple has increp.sed, and a fair amount of busi ness is doing in all descriptions suitable to the Eng lish markets • the same remark is applicable to China, but the demand for France and North Ame rica has fallen off; prices are well maintained, and for the finer descriptions of Godna higher prices have been paid. Raw Silk—The operations in this staple have been limited, owing to the small quantity at market; but any parcels that have come to hand find ready sale at four annas advance on previous prices. The rainy bund is now in course of arrival, but few transactions have yet taken place. Exports from Ist to 17th are, to Great Britain, 332 maunds. _ _ . Silk Piece Goods—An improved demand has been experienced for the medium sorts of Cossimbezar C3rahs, at rather higher rates; the finer descriptions are also in demand, but the quantity available being small, holders are not disposed to meet the views of purchasers, and are holding out for higher prices. Choppahs and Bandannas remain without inquiry. Shell Lac and Lac Dye—The market under this head has been extremely dull, confined to a few parcels of lac dye of native manufacture ; in shell lac there has been nothing doing. Safflower—The market has been completely cleared of all descriptions suitable for export. Oil Seeds—For the English market there is not a single transaction to report in linseed; the Ameri cans have, however, been doing business to a mode rate extent, and prices remain without alteration. Mustard and Oil seeds are completely neglected. No export up to date. Jute—The stock in hand of last season's crop being nearly exhausted, holders 4ve been enabled to obtain a further advance, medium ualities having been sold at 11.8 to 12 per bale. The new crop is now com mencing to arrive, bu only in small quantities, of which no sales are rt ported. llides—lmmediately after the departure of the steamer there was an evidentdisinclination manifested to deal in these goods, and for a few days operations were at a stand ; latterly, however, holders having - submitted to a slight decline, there has been more doing for the English markets. Cotton—There are very few transactions to report in this article, all the shipments consisting of parcels procured from the interior by shippers. Exports from the Ist to the 17th are 4,280 bales, or 15,442 mds. Opium—Considerable fluctuation has taken place in the value of this drug; lately, however, the mar ket has been more quiet ; present prices for Patna are 1,215, and for Benares 1,208 per chest. Stocks in the Company's Godown on the 17th were —Patna, 630 chests ; Benares, 168 chests. XAMPLEN.

Cotton Wool—The market has been firm, and prices have slightly improved, arrivals cf fresh sup plies having been very light; whilst, in addition to a fair demand for the home market, purchases in limited quantity have been renewed for China, and Broach and Surat have commanded 103 rupees to 104 rupees, and Gogo, 100 rupees to 103 rupees per candy. The receipts so far have been chiefly of Goo and Dollera descriptions, a small quantity of Broach, with a trifling parcel or two of Mangalore, having only in addition been received. As yet no Compta is at hand, but contracts for arrival continue to be made at 86 rupees for Compta and itajapore mixed ; and at 88f rupees per candy for Compta alone, which is the quo tation of the day. The last accounts from China being of a more favourable tenor for the staple, increased operations for that quarter will no doubt result, and we may, therefore, reasonably look for present prices being maintained. Sheep's Wool—We are still without further arrivals of the article, and the market is therefore quiet : prices as before quoted. Opium—ln the absence of the new drug shipments of old continue to be made, chiefly on importers ac count. FREIGHTS. The rate to Great Britain is as last quoted•--61. 10s. per ton to Liverpool, and 6/. to London ; but in the interim it has been down to 6/. for the former, and 5/. 17s. 6d. for the latter port, at which engage ments were made ; it is now firm at the first-named quotation. For China it has been gradually improving, and since the last accounts came to hand on the 28:h instant, has gone up from 11rs. to 163 rs. per candy, the latter having been paid yesterday for a full cargo. EXCHANGE. In the last two days the rate on London has fallen from Is. 11d. to Is. 111 d., to Is. 104 d. to ls. 11d., — the extremes in both instances being the rate for China and local paper respectively, at six months' sight. The decline was not generally looked for, and may again be attributed chiefly to the large purchases of bills made by one of our local banks.

(From the Calcutta Overland Price Curreivt of September 18.) The Bombay Government express of the overlent) ; mail arrived on the 14th instant, but the regular m Ai) ' has not yet come to hand; by this opportunity Lon don news to the 7th of August has been received, and the mercantile intelligence so brought is again of a gloomy nature ; most articles of colonial produce had fallen in price, and there was evident symptoms of another severe pressure on the money market; never theless, the appearance of the growing crops still con tinue most promising, and there is happily now little doubt of a large harvest ; but, until the same is ac tually at market, but little hope can be entertained of any very material improvement, and sufficient time has not elapsed for this intelligence to produce any perceptible change on the markets here. The satisfactory position of mercantile affairs here, noticed at the time of the departure of the mail per Bentinck, has continued without interruption, a bris';) demand having b een exper i ence d for nearly eve article of export f rom thi s country, and the tran'4:,Y.' tions in imports, although not so general as is u!m a ii i experienced at thi s season of the xvear, have been t o a fair extent. Manchester goods of nearly all descrip tions meet ready sales at, in some instances, improved IMPORTS FROM EUROPE. British Cotton Piece Goods—There has been a mo derate demand for the principal articles of Manchester fabric, and they have in seine instances improved in value. Gray shirtings of the lower and medium descrip t tons are still principally inquired for, while a decided improvement has arisen in the demand for the heavier sorts. Bleached have not been so free of sale. Jaconots, both grey and white, have declined slightly in, value, and are only in very moderate request. Somewhat more has been doing in grey and white Madapollams, but at low prices. Prints have been placed to a moderate extent, but (as has been the case for some time past) at very unsatisfactory prices for shippers. A little more has been doing in the lighter descrip tions of Manchester and Scotch fabrics ; and woollens continue in fair inquiry at a slight advance on pre vious prices. Mule Twist—The active demand previously noticed as having sprung up fbr this article has in a measure subsided, and operations have been limited ; prices, however, are well supported by holders. Coloured Yarn—For German dye Turkey red there has been a fair inquiry, but in other colours little has been doing; prices remain without alteration. Metals—A moderate amount of business has been done in nearly all descriptions of goods un der th i s head ; still the brisk demand experienced a t this season in former years has not been felt ; prices, how ever, are well sustained by holde rs, who have in most bistro:ices been enabled to obtai n an advance owing to the 11,ghtness of stocks. Salt Several vessels laden with salt have recently arrimd, and their cargoes have found ready sale at the following rates :-5,500 maunds at 96 rupees per 100 ; 4,500 maunds at 97 rupees per 100 ; 3,000 ma ands at 98 rupees per 100 ; .1,000 maunds at 96 rul)ees. per 100; 2,000 maunds at 95 rupees per 100. 1476 Y we : ,k 4 \ - - .*•<•e. „Zt rests ste., o, . .at-town, t... 0 state, passed off with --ler and 11 , 1 Ar• : - .'Qieshej%art of the Nen` , ll6, ftney Y. and, Reformers it was resalvt.,, this, We h9lievo, the eib'ortAtt.ehe ward ? wts strictly adhered to ; huti the Tu - rtes,' with the excep. tion of tile ward tlistigy lost (East Ward) carried on invited the voters to breakfast, and the ON game; then led them to the poll; and the result was that they returned ten out ,of the twelve Ntllo were 'elected.

We pre sume there is no doubt as to the parties returned, though the numbers polled may be found to differ when the cdficial announcement is made. The returns are ten Conservatives and four Reformers. YARMOUTH, Nov. I.—At the municipal election for this borough the Conservatives opposed the Libe rals in St. Andrew's, St. George's, and Nelsun Wards, and succeeded in the two former, Messrs. Preston and Hammond being returned in St. An- drew's, and Messrs. Plummer and Smith in St. George's. In the Nelson Ward; Messrs. Palmer and Chambers, Liberals, were elected ; and the Liberals were unopposed in all the other wards.—Bury Post. FATAL ACCIDENTS on the DERBY AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY. BexroN ' Nov. 2.—Coroners' inquests were held to •day and on Saturday last relative to two very frightful accidents on the Derby and Birmingham line of the Midland Railway, which involved the loss of three lives. On Friday evening, about five minutes past five, as the train which leaves Birmingham at a quarter to four o'clock for Derby, Leeds, was proceeding from the Wellington station, and just before crossing the river Dove, the engine-driver of the engine attached to the train perceived two men walking on the line, apparently quite heedless of the dangerous situation they were in. The evening was very foggy, and the driver states that they could not have been more than 25 or 30 yards from the engine when he first noticed them. By every means in his power he endeavoured to stop the train and warn the unfortunate fellows off the line. The whistle was loudly sounded, steam reversed, and tender and guards' breaks applied ; and, notwith standing the rate the train was travelling at the time —2O miles an hour—it is considered that it was all but brought to a halt when they met with their deaths. The buffer of the engine struck them and hurled their bodies with terrible force on the embank ment. The - driver and guard instantly alighted, and found one quite dead. The other was breathing, al though it was evident he could not live long. The ne cessary fog signals were placed on the rails in the rear of the train and shortly an engine coming up from Tamworth was stopped. By this time the second poor fellow had expired, and the bodies were conveyed to Wellington. They were then identified as being those of William Cross aged 38, and F ranc i s T oo b y , aged 35, both cattle jobbers, and in no way con nected with the company. On the evening in ques tion they were in partnership, and on their way to this place (Buxton) to fetch some cows which were on sale for the fair. Mr. B. Beswiek, the inspector of the line, traced footsteps from where the accident happened full three quarters of a mile. The boots of the deceased were compared with the footmarks and were found to correspond. They had taken to the line at the Whitmore crossing, and by this dangerous route would scarcely save a quarter of a mile to where they were going. They had no business on the line, and at the crossing there was a notice to persons not to trews on the line under a pain of incurring a penalty of 10/. The jury, being satisfied that no blame was attributable to the company, re turned a verdict of " Accidental death." The other accident happened on the morning of the same day. The deceased, James 'Walker, was the fireman of an engine attached to a train of luggage and mineral trucks. It left the Derby station at five o'clock, and, as in the previous instance, the weather was very f ogg y. In consequence of the greasy state of the rails, which prevented the wheels " biting" them, the deceased got 'down by the side of the engine, and was putting some gravel on the rails by means of a tube rod, when he fell, and, it is presumed, was struck by the ashpan. Theiwheels did not touch him, but he was shockingly hurt. He was removed to the infirmary, and there expired. In this case, also, the jury considered the unfortunate occurrence was the result of accident. CONSECRAIION OF A NEW ROMAN CATHOLIC CHAPEL.—Yesterday, the now Catholic chapel, recently erected in the Tillage of Wandsworth, was consecrated according to the forms of the Catholic religion. High mass was sung on the occasion, and an appropriate ser mon was preached by the Right Rev. Dr. Wiseman, the pro-Bishop of the London district. The chapel was crowded with an elegant congregation, by whom a liberal collectinzi was made for the purposes of the edifice. ANOTHER, SUSPICIOUS DEATH IN HACKNEY. — Yesterday afternoon an inquiry was commenced before house, Mare-street, ?if.r.

The surgeon who attended the dec ease d s t ate d o ehad been suffering from sickness, and th at th ere was l a great stste deal the of suspicion in the case, a n d h e was unable to cause of death. The nurse who was called in after the death of the deceased, said that the two daughters were constantly in a state of intoxication, end frequently quarrelled with the old lady. The Coroner would not go further into the case, and advised the jury to adjourn and have a post mnrtem examination of the body made, and the true cause of death would then be elucidated. The jury agreed, and adjourned the inquiry fur a few days.

Freights—No falling off having been experienced in the demand for tonnage for sugar and rice to Cr rest Britain, and an extensive demand having sprung p for vessels to the Mauritius, the rates of freight previously ruling have been well supported, and in many instances a slight advance has been obtained. Since the arrival of the express, however, there has been a little doing, and the tendency is downward.

The head-quarters of one company will be in . kyr, and the other in Kilmarnock.
