Nearly the wh o l e of the cuntry markets held on Satur day were reasonably well supplied with wheat, the demand for which ruled heavy, at a decline in prices at from 2s to 38 per quarter. In barley, very little was doing. Malt supported previous rates ; but oats, beans, peas, and 11°11r ' were lower to purchn s i. The near continental markets have been less active, but those i n th e Black Sea have ruled brisk for wheat,' on higher terms. The latest accounts from New York state that both grain and flour were in improved request, at en hanced currencies. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were on the increase. From abroad we received 29,293 qui t3rs of wheat, 5,100 barley, 51,792 oats, 211 peas, 835 linseed, 255 rapeseed, and 3,161 seeds, including Indian corn. No foreign flour came to hand. _ Fresh up to- 4 a, the receipts of wheat from Essex and Kent were very moderate • but amongst them were about 50 quarters of the present' year's growth from the former "fttY, in fair average condition. The show of last week's unsold samples was large, owing to which, the compara tively Atrial' number of buyers in attendance, and the pre vailing fi ne weather for harvest work, the demand for all kinds ruled exceedingly heavy, at a decline in the quota tbns obtained on thii4 day se'nnigbt of from is to 2s per quarter. By land carriage the supply was but moderate, aLd a total clearance was not effected. For forward delivery, only a moderate business was transacted, at drooping prices. With foreign wheat we were rather extensively supplied. Thesale for that ar ti c l e ru l e d d u ll, an d prices gave way fully i s per quarter. The arrivals of floating cargoes off the coast from the we stward has be en t r ifli ng. 'Very few sales have, come c l l entlY3 taken place; nevertheless, owing to the advanced dquotations in It a l y, h olders have been very firm in their emands. th e small par ce l o f new E ng li s h b ar l e y was o n o ff e r, and ue spply of foreign was tolerably good. The trade was 'll a ° ery inactive state, and the quotations were the turn in favour of buyers. Malt moved off slowly, but no change took place in its value. All kinds of oats were in very large supply, and the trade ruled heavy, at a fall in the quotations of is per quarter. 11 4 had a very inactive demand for b eans, the pr i ces o f w hich gave way is per qr.

LINES LEASED AT FIXED RENTAI:B: INDIA AND CHINA. China Proper must almost necessarily lead to the severance of Chinese Tartary and Thibet from the Chinese empire, an event which will materially affect the balance of power in Asia. These exten sive countries (by themselves three quarters as large as all Europe put together) have little in common with China Proper, and are only main tained as a portion of the empire by means of the Tartar troops of the present dynasty. In the event of the dismemberment of the Chinese empire, the supremacy of Chinese Tartary, if not of Thibet, would naturally devolve upon Russia ; and the possession of Lassa and the valley of a great river like the Sanpo or Upper Burrampooter would afford a much more easy entrance into British In dia than could be obtained through the difficult passes of the rocky desert that environs the north western frontier. Delhi is three times as far from Calcutta as Lassa is from the point where the Bur rampooter enters our territory. It is stated that Sir John M'Neill, our Envoy at the Court of Persia, has left Teheran in conse quence of the intrigues of Russia with Persia, and of both with Dost Mahomed. at Ca,bul ; and it is stated that there was such sufficient reason for " so extreme a step as to warrant the belief that a con federation against England had come to his know ledge, which he could not with prudence or policy overlook." His departure, together with the col lection of a Persian and Heratta force near Herat, and of large levies in Affghanistan. and Bokhara, have given rise to fresh apprehension of Russian intrigue and prospective aggression on our western. frontiers.

The following is our correspond ent's letter of that date : A report is current that the Burmese field force is to be immediately broken up, and it is surmised that the Pegu division will be then divided into two commands, of which one will be allotted to the Bengal, and the other to the Madras army. No thing is known regarding the intentions of the King of Ai a. The Burmese appear still to expect us to advance on their capital, and as yet confine themselves to defensive measures. From the decks of the steamers new stockades are seen rising be tween Prome and Meeaday. A famine appears to be impending in Burmah. Owing to the disturbed state of the lower provinces scarcely any seed was sown last season, and at present rico bears a fam ine price even at Rangoon and Pegu, and Government is urged to lose no time in importing it in large quantities from Calcutta. The China mail which arr i v ed at Bombay on the 24th of June brought no news from Shanghai, owing to the north China mails having been lost at sea on the 2d of May on board the Larriston. The Hongkong papers, however, contain some fur ther particulars regarding Sir G. Bonham 's trip up the Yana- tse-Kiang. It appears that the unsuccessful attempt of the Susquehanna to get up the river to the assistance of the Imperialists at Nankin was thought at Shanghai to have irritated the insurgents greatly against the foreign community in general, and it was, therefore, deemedadvisable todespatch the interpreter to the British Consulate to the rebel head-quarters to explain that the English were neutral. On arriving at Nankin Sir G. Bonham at first intended to meet the rebel leaders in person, but, considering that such an interview might be misconstrued, he eventually only sent the consu late interpreter and some of the officers of the Hermes on shore ; one of the latter, who is said to be unlikely to form an erroneous estimate, men tions that the insurgent army encamped at Nankin numbers 80,000 men, well equipped, and, from what was seen of them, in a state of very proper discipline ; officers paying nightly visits to outlying pickets, and obserring all the for/nuke of regularly drilled troops. It is a significant fact that the English papers in China no longer talk of " the rebels" or " insur gents," the present phrase being the patriot army." The insurgents captured Amoy (one of the five ports, and situate about 450 miles north of Canton and 700 south of Shanghai) on the 18th of May. The particulars of this operation of the insurgents (the first they have effected under the eyes of Europeans) are detailed in the following letter to the editor of the Straits' Times at Singapore : "AMOY, MAY 19. " For several days past business has been completely at an end. " On the 14th inst. the authorities notified the Eng lish Consul of the near approach of some 3,500 rebels, who on that day, it became known, had invested Hai- Teng, a walled town, about 12 miles up the Chang- Chow river, and beheaded the chief mandarin of the place. Various rumours as to the direction which the rebels would take went about, and it appeared most probable that they would go to Chang-Chow and not come here at once, where they might fear the oppo sition of foreign vessels. On the 15th the opium storeships were, at the request of the English Con sul, moved into the inner harbour to be in readiness to protect more effectually the residents, some of whom sent their valuables on board ; yet many were loath to believe that the rebels would come, while some even doubted the existence of any organised rebel force in this neighbourhood, supposing the men spoken of to be bands of thieves, of whom large numbers are always on the river. On the evening of the 17th it was suddenly reported that during the night 2,000 to 3,000 rebels would arrive ; the shops were all closed earlier than usual, and the Hai-kwan and Hai-fung, it was afterwards found out, with their dependents, left the offices. " That such a force could be conveyed down the river lsioe v expeditiously i ng appeared would in ta c k r e e di ble , place and fe wa, at f any, the same be time it was said that Taow-kai, who has been at Chin- Chow for some weeks, would arrive during the night with 1,000 men, and that if he reached first the entry of the rebels into the city . would be frustrated, and pro bably, as the Taow-kai is very popular with the natives, a compromise would have been come to. Much anxiety prevailed all night ; every one in the town seemed to be awake. Till half-past 4 a.m. of the 18th all remained quiet, but about that time large numbers of boats, of all descriptions and sizes, bearing red flags and filled with men, were descried approaching each extremity of the town. The Chinese admiial got his fleet under weigh, and kept up an ineffective fire on the boats, but whether owing to the want of wind or inclination, the junks kept a good distance off, so the landing of the rebels was almost unopposed. The first boats could scarcely have reached the shore when it became evident that nearly all the wharf coolies, boatmen, policemen, and "Some six months ago we saw a letter from the Russian Ambassador at Bokhara to a friend who passed through the station and made us promise not to reveal its contents. As, however, the gen tleman is no longer in the land of the living, we consider our promise no longer binding, so now we divulge the contents of the epistle. It was stated that Russia was ready to engage once more in an expedition towards western Asia, and that every preparation was being made in order that the expedition should not be fruitless ; and that an organised army of 30,000 infantry, 20,000 cavalry, and 3,000 artillery would be sent across the Desert by brigades to meet the army of the King of Persia and that of Cabul, who would share in the enter prise. The native news from Affghanistan affords, how ever, an explanation of the collection of troops by the alleged allies of Russia. The King of Bokhara is assem bling an army of 30,000 men on the Oxus, with a view of driving Dost Mahomed's Affghans out of the Balkh ; and the latter is collecting troops to oppose the King of Bokhara, and also to resist the threatened aggressions of the Persians and Heratees in the west and south of Affghauistan. The chiefs of Candahar have sent him notice that if he cannot, or will not, aid them against the latter, they will be compelled to make peace for them selves, and to transfer their allegiance. But if Russia has the dismemberment of the Turkish Empire really in view there may be some truth in the rumour of the collection of the Russian troops on the Caspian. Tur key in Asia would be a more valuable possession than the European provinces of Turkey to a Power aiming at the supremacy in Asia as well as in Europe. Turkey in Asia, with river steamers on the Euphrates, and a rail road from the point where the latter ceased to be navi gable to the Bay of Antioch, would give to Russia the most commanding position in the Old World. All who have ever carefully investigated the question must be convinced that British India is in no immediate danger from Russian aggression ; but were the Russians once fairly established at Herat the prospective danger would at b rs e i ht v eh e ee r y fmo g ro r e a satn e t n vc S a ei e h ni e ot could noofft Ih ne organise a just as aen Indiad officer readily cCompany's t paann y he d,sr aborderpirapidly native ly infantry (the Punjab Irregulars) were raised, and no t H h in d eh o a o r dtroops races oceoeu ofd hope the N t o o r s t t h a n d w fa a t m he om l a e t n t before e t rwe re equally well drilled and officered. Whatever philan thropists may say regarding the future destinies of the natives of Hindostan, it is certain that, owing to their enervating climate, they must always be (as they always have been) a subject race, and that if the English were to leave India to-morrow the Gookas, Affghans, and Sikhs would be at Calcutta and Bombay in six months." The weather has lately been unusually tempes tuous, even for the monsoon. Many lives have been lost by the falling of houses in the native towns, and considerable damage has been done to the roads and causeways extending along the western coast of the island of Bombay. The season is unusually sickly, and, from the Government downwards, there is scarcely an establishment that is not short handed. MINES. 1 all Agua Fria. 1 all Anglo Austrin.

The Governor is in the Deccan, and, according to his late colleagues, in the eye of the law, functus officio, although he is not the less attended by two of the ablest and most efficient members of the Secretariate ; the Commander-in-Chief and junior mem ber of Council are both sick at Poonah. As Lord Falk- land is the only, member of the Bombay Government a' present really in the enjoyment of good health—the only one save Mr. Blane able to enter the Council-room at all —we think it would have been nothing more than the public had a right to expect, that he should hive re turned to the presidency the moment he found Mr. Bell compelled to proceed to Poonall, if only to save appear. antes and restore the integrity of the Secretariat&" The position of the Bombay Government and of the Sudder Court is daily becoming more difficult. I mentioned, several mails ago, that Mr. Luard had endeavoured to compel Government to a public inquiry into the conduct of Messrs. Bell, Simson, and Remington, in the Surat case, by declaring publicly that, if such inquiry were allowed, he was prepared " so to blacken their faces as to astonish the world at the extent to which Indian infamy had been carried ;" but that, instead of calling on the accused for their defence (as had been done in the recent case of the Sudder judges), Government had suspended the accuser. Mr. Luard, however, is not to be silenced ; be is determined to bring the parties to the " Surat robbery," as he calls it, into court as plaintiffs, at any rate, if he cannot do so as defendants, and to subject them to a public cross examination ' in a witness box. He has, therefore, written a series of letters, signed " Blacking Brush," to one of the local papers, in which he directly accuses Mr. Simson of the most corrupt practices, and charges Mr. Remington (the commissioner who acquitted Ardaseer, and now one of the new Sud der judges) with deliberate perjury, and being unfit for the society of gentlemen." Mr. Luard has tem porarily discontinued these attacks on account of the serious illness of Mr. Simson, but he declares that on his recovery they will be resumed. Mr. Remington has taken no notice of these attacks, but Mr. Simson's attorney has called on the papers in which the letters have appeared for the writer's name. " Blacking Brush" replies, that he will come forward and justify the libels in his own name as soon as Mr. Simson is sufficiently recovered to to stand a cross-examination in a witness-box ; that it has been for years his first object to bring the case into court, but he fears that Mr. Simson has no sincere intention of appealing to law, as, if he had dared to do so, he could not have failed for so long to take notico of much graver and more expli cit charges, 'particularly of those which appeared in the Gazette of November 20, 1851. Mr. Luard's suspension, of course, attracted public attention strongly to the Surat case ; little was previously known of its merits, for Mr. Luard, being of an irritable and violent temper, and smart ing under a sense of what was really at first un merited persecution, had advocated his case with so glaring a want of judgment, temper and cohe rence, as to have prejudiced against him all correct people who did not care to look below the surface. The facts of the case, however, have now been fully made out, and the papers that were formerly most violent against Mr. Luard (though they still strongly condemn the course he has taken to bring about an inquiry) admit that it would certainly ap pear that a widow had been deprived of her inheri tance contrary to explicit law, and is still kept out of it, because Government and the Court of Di rectors are unwilling that their administration of justice and highest officials should incur the scan dal that would be occasioned by a public inquiry into the case. In addition to these attacks on Mr. Remington, the Sudder Court has been lately exposed to severe animadversion . on account of the distinction it has introduced between the native and European pleaders that practise before it. The regular Bar of the Sudder Court (called Vakeels) ilia xclu barristerssively native ; but two or three years ago, of the Supreme Court discovered that there was no legal bar to their being also licensed as vakeels of the Sudder Adawlut under the same act which constitutes the native Bar, and they have of course monopolized all the most lucrative prac tice of the Sudder Court ever since. The native Bar was of course obliged to submit to this, but when the Court began to allow to the European banisters privileges it denied to vakeels, one of the latter (Manockpe Cursetjee) protested against such distinctions as unjust and altogether illegal. Ma nockpe pointed out that the act, under which alone any pleader could practise in the Sudder Court, made no distinction of caste or sect whatever, and he claimed to be allowed equal privileges with the European pleaders, and requested to be informed what legal difference existed in that court between himself and them. The Court answered that the difference was this, " That Mr. Dickenson was a barrister, arid that he was only a vakeel." In answer to this Manockpe presented a petition itiil to the Cou r t e itin r a s very ecis awkward on, h tt a as n. d ctrooug dilemma, He the between European a n d na ti ve pleaders tboo b whichwee d madeto placed oued (although both practised under the same act) but h e begged, for the convenience of all parties concerned, that the Court would define explicitly what those dis tinctions and privileges were to be. The Court was surprised by this into an exceedin. gly weak and Mogi " We will n o t en t er t a i n your cal answer. They said, petition, because when we called on a case of yours the other day you were not prepared with it, and also, on one occasion, you addressed us without the labourers of Amoy belonged to the rebel army, and only waited the arrival of the leader to appear as such. The public offices in the suburbs were immediately broken open and eacked—one or two of them were burnt, but this dangerous way of destroying them was not, we are happy to say, employed, save in the outskirts. The destruction of the Custom-house, from its proximity to the foreign bongs, was a scene of interest to the inhabi tants of the latter, and the systematic manner in which the Custom-house and the residence of its shroffs were sacked, without the slightest injury being offered to any of the neighbouring houses, attracted much notice, the work being performed by men apparently of the lowest order, armed with knives, spears, and matchlocks, and whose appearance would justify the belief that they were an infuriated mob let loose for the purpose of destroying the town ; yet, they carefully avoided any injury to pri vate houses, showing that some most efficient system of control is kept up by the society. The Taow-tae did not arrive, and though the city continued to hold out the natives never seemed to doubt its submission to the rebels ; it appears, besides, many mem bers of the society were introduced previously into the city ; the garrison had nearly all joined the society, and only waited a favourable occasion to open the gates and admit the rebel force. A slack desultory fire was kept up till about noon, when it became quiet. Probably, fatigue and hunger dictated the propriety of a short truce. An hour or two later the garrison opened the gates and allowed the r ebels to enter unmolested, joining with them, so that the mandarins were quite helpless ; but no desire to capture them seems to have existed, for, while the four gates were thrown open, only by three did the rebels enter, the fourth being left purposely to facilitate the escape of any who wished—a privilege they all availed themselves of. About this time the admiral, .with most of his junks, retreated round the island to sea, and has not since returned. Several of the junks he left behind have been burnt. The rebels from the main land continued to pour in in large numbers, while thou sands of the inhabitants joined their bands, all armed, and every party carrying a flag. Shortly after it was known that the rebels were in possession of the citadel a party of foreigners proceeded thither to see how matters were being conducted. After being admitted into the city, they were allowed to visit the different public buildings without the slightest molestation ; and while in the city, the chief of the rebel force promised them to send a guard to protect the foreign hongs against plunder, which it was feared they would be much exposed to at night. The streets, both in and outside the walls, are literally crowded with rebels, but no sign whatever appears of injury to a single private house. A large body of rebels patrolled the streets last night. and to-day everything appears quiet ; most of the shops in this neighbourhood are open and confidence appears returning among the natives, while the foreigners are at a loss to account for the quiet and orderly manner in which the rebels conduct themselves. What arrange. ments the insurgents are about to make for the govern ment of the place we do not know ; they say they will offer the governorship to the late Taow-tai, who, as we before stated, is very much liked ; but it is not at all likely he will accept it. To-day many of the rebels are being embarked, it is said, for Tong-wa. The ejection of the Tartar authorities from the place has been effected with very little fighting ; we do not suppose the deaths amount to 10, and the few wounded we have seen appear to have suffered much from the explosion of gunpowder. We hope the order and quiet which at present prevail will continue, and that business will soon be practicable ; until, however, the character of those to be intrusted with the government of the place be known, no opinion can be formed as to the security of property there." The following is from another account : "The citadel was taken at 2 p.m., and order imme diately restored. The shops are expected to be open to morrow. The British merchants went through the city afterwards, and were well received by the insurgent chiefs, who sent a guard of 150 men to protect the foreign factories, and another guard to the British Con sulate. Had the insurgents behaved as European troops generally do after the capture of a town by storm, the lives and property of the European community would have been seriously endangered, especially as there was not a single vessel of war on the spot—an omission on the part of the naval commander-in-chief which is severely commented upon. It is also observed that the European communities at two other of the five ports— namely, Ning-po and Tah :. chow-foo, are similarly un protected." It is expected. that Canton will be -the next at tacked. Reports are current that, within a day's march of the city, large bodies of rebels are ready for attack at a given signal ; and it is greatly to be regretted," says the Friend of China, " that we have not such a steamer as the Phlegethon or Nemesis moored off the factories." The capture of Amoy, 700 miles in rear of the nearest of the two grand armies of the insurgents, together with the conduct of the inhabitants and local authorities on the occasion, has manifested the extended organization of the rebel power and the hopelessness of the Tartar cause, and the orderlyl behaviour of the captors of Amoy immediately after the storming of the town, and the civility of the both on that occasion and rebels to the Europeans, also at Nanlan, have jusaed the expectations now generally entertained, that the establishment of the Ming dynasty will terminate the vexatious restric tions to foreign trade and inte rcourse that have hitherto prevailed. But the subversion of the Tartar dynasty in 16i -- 17il LLOYD'S SKIPPING.-(TRIS DAY.) LONDON, Aug. 15.—Wind this day at Noon, S.E., cloudy.

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 a pplied for his discharge. He 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 he 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 he would not allow it to be done. The applicant denied the latter allegation. Mr. Justice Williams told him he could do Lothing for hith ; 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 PRIISSIA.—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. His Royal Highness during the day visited several members of the nobility. In the evening his Excellency the Prussian Minister entertained the Prince at dinner, at the residence of the legation, on Carlton-house-terrace. Amongst the company were his Royal Highness the Duke of Cam bridge , 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. expression of respect usually used by native vakeels ; in addressing the Mofussil Courts." A few days after this Manockpe presented a petition in rejoinder. He pointed out that the rights of the Bar, of which he was a member, could not possibly be affected by any accidental act of carelessness or disrespect of which he had been individually guilty ; but he ex plained that European barristers were often un prepared with a case when it was called on, and had applied for and obtained postponement in con sequence ; and he stated that the expressions of respect used by Vakeels in the Mofussil Courts, in addressing the Company's judges (your Omnis cience, &c.), were blasphemous to apply to any but the Deity, and were dictated only by the abject servility which rendered the native Mofussil Bar useless for the ends of justice. The Court thereon threatened to fine Manockpe, and reminded him that it had recently fined two other vakeels. Ma nockpe protested against their right of fining vakeels, saying that if others had submitted to it he would not, and that such a practice was utterly fatal to the independence of the native Bar. The Sudder judges could never venture to talk of fining an English barrister practising as a vakeel beE)re, and it is stated that while the Court was thus ex acting an abject servility of address from the native pleaders, it took no notice of an European barrister addressing the judge on the bench with " Look here, Mr. Frere.' The Sudder Court has lately signalised itself by another of those, 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 confirmation 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. The junior member of Council, Mr. Bell, has resigned the service, and is considered in a very precarious state by his medical advisers. Mr. Warden is the new member of Council. CHINA. We have received intelligence from Hong Kong to the 23d of June. _ 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 levie.l 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 ' some 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 Powhatta.n, 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. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. ( From the Calcutta Star of July 2. ) Owing to the intervention of the 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 a. good demand for most articles of export, which, on the whole, may be said to have maintained their former value. The remain ing parcels of indigo are gradually disposed of, and the total quantity shipped up to the end of last month amounts to 98,400 maunds, and there is little doubt that 100,000 maunds will be completed. The accounts from the districts regarding the new plant are somewhat con flicting. Rain seems to have fallen pretty generally and afforded much relief, but in some places there ap pears to have been rather too much of it, and the want of sufficiently strong heat is now being complained of. Apprehensions are also entertained of early inundations. Sugar h as cont i nued at i ts hi g h pr i ce , b u t ship ments,the 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 been less doing in silk piece goods, and the quantity gone forward during the fortnight is very moderate. Saltpetre has been in active demand for Great Britain and America, but the Fre n c h are not taking any. _ Rice has been in modeoratetoraeugoudessthfuovreMhaeuerioti shipped and Bourbon, a nd about 30,0 o to England since the Ist of the month. Lac dye continues to be taken ho for p E au n s g in la g n . d The America, but the French appear to same may be said of shell lac. There has for Oil s eeds in good demand, mustard England, and linseed for the United States. bei ng shi pped b ee n 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. shipped to England, the French not having taking any. Rum in request for Australia only, and about 5,000 gallons have been shipped since the Ist ult. The import market shows no material change. Ow ing to the holidays, the sales of most descriptions of cotton goods have been very moderate, though prices on the whole remained pretty much the same. Of grey shirtings about 52,000 pieces found purchasers, being chiefly 40-inch goods. Very little done in white, little more than 2,600 pieces having been disposed of. White figured shirtings have been in little request, and the prices obtained show a slight decrease in value. Of Ma dapollams only greys met with purchasers, bleached goods having been totally neglected. Jaconets, both white and grey, have been in tolerably good demand. Book muslins of inferior descriptions have been freely disposed of, but there is no alteration in prices. The sales of lappets have fallen off, and the demand seems to be confined to the lower qualities. Nothing done in mull mulls. Prints and chintzes have met with partial attention, and in Turkey red goods the sales comprise only twills and cambrics. Very little doing in woollens. Of mule twist about 1,500 bales sold, chiefly of No. 40's. Very little demand for Turkey and other coloured yarns, but prices without variation. The metal market continues inanimate, and sales are effected only with difficulty. Profits of the Bank of Bengal for the last five months are F e r g ei ti g a h l t t s o my 4 a l4 b l e l :!. sa p id er t c o en b t e . on paid up differing,capital. not withstanding the f ur th er accession to our tonnage. Exchange may be quoted at from 9 sight bills. —s. for six months' 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 advance of about 35 per cent. on the open ing prices of last year. Cotton is a little firmer. Bombay, st. 6m. 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 13th inst., with three chops on board. About 22 chops have been received, of which 15 are reported sold, at prices from 21st. to 32t. being about 35 per cent. advance on the opening prices of last season. The quality of the teas received were considered inferior. Export from— lb.

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 a 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 sail ors w h o 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, being of a rather hasty temper, forthwith. ordered th e p o li cemen t o b e bastinadodto 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 ss. 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, 98i piastres per pound sterling. MALTA. AUGUST 9.
