OVERLAND MAIL. An extraordinary express, in anticipation of the Overland Mail, has brought correspondence and journals from Bombay to the 3 d January, Cal mita 22d December. The English mail of the Bth November reached Agra, vid Bombay, on the 15th, Delhi and Meerut on the 12th Nov. and . Lahore on the 13th Dec. The Mail of the 24th November reached Bombay on the 28th December by the steamer Auckland. The intelligence from Burmah. by this mail is of a different nature to any that has been given hitherto. The latest date from the seat of war is ail of the 17th the 16th ult. Pegu which , b y the m December, was reported as having fallen into the hands of the English, has since then been invested by a force of 8,000 Burmese, and had to be relieved by a force of 1,400 men in boats, under General Godwin, whilst a land Brigade, under Colonel Sturt, co-operated with the general. The Bur mese suffered very severely, but our loss was but trifling. The death of Brigadier M'Neil, of the Madras army, from the effects of a sun-stroke, is the only casualty reported amongst the commis sioned ranks on this occasion. The enemy made a desperate effort to gain possession of the place, but were each time repulsed with great loss by Major Hill, of the Madras Fusiliers, who was in command of the troops left at Pegu, after it was captured by us. The force under the latter officer behaved most gallantly, but had not General Godwin's force arrived when it did, Pegu must have fallen again into the hands of the enemy, and the British who garrisoned the place would have been butchered to a man. The Indian press is loud in blaming the timid policy of the Court of Directors, which has actually made an enemy where none existed, and has given the Burmese a courage which they did not possess before. This is hardly a true view of the case. The timidity of the commander in Burmah, General Godwin, may be censured with great pro priety, and the manner in which the Court of Di rectors and Board of Control have tied Lord Dal housie's hands in the policy to be pursued is a matter of much regret ; but the Court of Directors cannot with justice be blamed for the variations and do nothing tactics of the general who commands in Bur mah. It is reported in the best-informed Indian circles that the Governor-General would have sent another officer to supersede Godwin long ago, but that his lordship, not being a military man, cannot with propriety interfere without the full consent and concurrence of the Commander-in-Chief. Now, Sir William is at this moment either at Simla or at the foot of the Simla hills, some twelve hun dred miles away from the seat of Government, and every letter from the Governor-General in Calcutta to the Commander-in-Chief in the north west takes six days to reach its destination, hence the delay which has occurred in sending another commander to Burmah. It is, moreover, said that the Governor-General wishes to nominate an officer of the company's service, Sir John. Cheape, to the post, but that Sir W. Gomme ob jects to the supercession of one of his own service by an officer of another arm. Whether the press of India are right in the unanimous demand they are making for General Godwin's recal from Bur mah, is a matter which can be judged of by the English public after the following plain statement of facts relative to the attempt at recapturing Pegu on the part of the Burmese. The first cap ture of Pegu took place in May last, but the place was immediately after abandoned by our troops, and re-occupied by the Burmese. The last mail took home news of the recapture of the place, at a not inconsiderable loss of life. When recaptured so very small a force was left in possession, that the enemy almost immediately invested the place. Communication between Rangoon and Pegu seems to have been intercepted very shortly after the latter town was in our occupation, for a boat laden with commissariat stores, under a small escort from the sth Madras Native Infantry, was cap tured on its way to Pegu, and the guard killed or taken prisoners. By this event 2,000 rounds of large gun ammunition, besides a quantity of valuable stores, fell into the hands of the enemy. The total ignorance of General Godwin's " intelli gence department," regarding the movements of the enemy, can be the only excuse for sending stores of the above nature (up a river through the heart of a country occupied by the enemy) under a guard of twenty Sepoys. The Burmese came down in numbers about 1,500. The Madras Sepoys fought most gallantly, but what could they do with such fearful odds. The Jeruadar of the party was captured and beheaded, and only five men, who were rescued by a party sent out from Pegu by Major Hill, escaped. This appears to/ have been the first event which put courage into the hearts of the Burmese, for a very few days after they invested Pegu and most completely hemmed in the small force under Major Hill. The latter officer sent no less than four messengers to the General, with re quests for reinforcements. The ammunition of the force uuder Major Hill's command was very nearly expended, and altogether his situation was most critical. All the messengers reached Rangoon in safety, but the general seems to have used some little delay in sending off the reinforcements. Not so the commodore, who immediately dispatched two boats each from the Fox, the Sphinx, and the Mozuffer, under the command of Captain Shad well. These boats were manned with 150 marines, and 200 English soldiers were sent in a small steamer with ammunition and commissariat stores for the garrison at Pegu. Every one considered the sup plies and the force sent to be too small for the emer gency, and the event proved this opinion to be true. The steamer did not reach the scene of action, but the men in the boats fought most bravely; one Royal Marine of the party is said to have killed 11 of the enemy single-handed. So small a force could, how ever, do no great good, and our troops were obliged ; to effect a retreat, which they did in excellent order. It ought to be kept in remembrance of the corps of Royal Marines that 150 men kept at bay, very nearly forced their way through, and ended by effecting a most masterly retreat, in spite of all that 1,500 of the fiercest soldiers in the east could do. When the repulse of this gallant band was known at Rangoon, the most energetic mea sures were taken to send off a force of 1,600 MOn in steamers and boats. Generals Godwin and Steel both accompanied the force, and Colonel Sturt marched by land with a force of 400 men. On the arrival of the river force, the Burmese stood their ground for a time, but were eventually compelled to evacuate the place. Their loss was severe, ours but trifling. More details not known. The Cal cutta _Englishman, which reached Bombay (January 3), gives out that the 2d Bengal Fusiliers, now doing duty in Fort William, will ere long be or dered to the scene of action. In the meantime, the river Irrawaddy has fallen very considerably since the last rains, and great doubts are entertained whether the river communication between Ran goon and Pegu will be practicable a few weeks hence. In the last two months the river has.fallen no less than 27 feet at Rangoon, and throughout the east the fall of water in the rivers is in a g reater ratio the further one goes from the mouth . The war which everybody said was at an end has now apparently only begun. Where no enemy dared a few months ago to oppose our advance, we have actually made an enemy for ourselves by the weak policy and vacillating measures adopted by our general. The energy and rapidity with which the first blows were struck in this war, made the Bur mese authorities to fear for the result of the cam paign, but the extraordinary inactivity which we have displayed during the last six months has given them greater courage than they possessed even during the war of 1826. THE PITNJATTB. Last mail had not well left our shores when in telligence of further disturbances on the Punjaub frontier reached Bombay. We give the following account of them from the Delhi Gazette, of the 22d ultimo : "It seems that the Hindostanee fanatics of Sitana have captured a small fort called Kotlee, situated near Umb, the capital of Jahandad Khan's Trans-Indus possessions. This is probably only a beginning, as they will most likely commit further depredations, and effect considera ble mischief u n l ess their proceedings receive a timely check, and it is even, possible that they may be so elated by their success as to proceed to further outrages, leave their own country, somewhat beyond our border, and prove exceedingly troublesome neighbours. It is in consequence of these disturbances that the two additional IL A. guns, and the 3d N.I. were ordered to march -towards the Puklee Valley, as noted in our last issue. A few days ago, the Hussunzaie tribe made a raid close to the fort of Sheerghur, a spot marked by the me lancholy death of Messrs. Came a n d T app, as it was from that fort the ill-fated officers started the day they were murdered. The Hussunzaie had succeeded in cap turing some cattle and were hurrying off with their plunder, when the Killedar of the fort with a chosen, band gave chase, and on coming up with the party en gaged them, but was repulsed. Nothing daunted, how ever he returned and obtained a reinforcemen t and started again in pursuit, with such success this time that he recovered nearly all the cattle and killed some thirty-six of the enemy. One of the murderers of the ill-fated Mr. Came is said to have fallen in this skirmish, and another is reported to have been taken prisner. It is to be hoped that his identity may be proved and the ends of justice answered. The Husstinzaies still held possession of the fort called Shoongee belonging to Jehandad Khan, situated on the left bank of the Indus and within our boundary. It is to this fort that our attention will, in the first instance, be directed • as it is the intention of the auth or iti es t o a id J e h an d a d Khan in ejecting the Hussunzaies from it, and put the rightful owner once more in possession. All this is easier said than done, as the season is unfavourable for mountain warfare, and the tribe have an al mos t i n t erm i na bl e c h a i n o f hi g h hills to fall back upon ; they have, moreover, very little but life to lose, and on, that they do not set any very high value. It is supposed by some that the Sitana fanatics are in league with the Hussunzaies, but this is mere con jecture ; that their having attacked the fort of Sheer gurh will necessarily cramp Jehandad Khan's means of acting against the Hussunzaies at Shoonhee there can be no doubt, and our ally cannot do much without as sistance from us. We believe it has therefore been de cided that assistance shall be afforded to Jehandad Khan as far as the line of the river Indus which forms the boundary, but though it would seem only just to ex tend our support on the other side to the fullest extent ' practicable, unless the chief is hard pressed, it will not be done. In any case, the news from that quarter will be interesting for some time to come, and if the two tribes have really joined others may follow their example, and the matter prove of more importance than at first sight appears. A Peshawur letter in the same journal of the 25th says that everything was as quiet and peace as could be imagined, and that there was no talk of any movement of troops from that station in any direction. SCINDE. News from Scinde comes down to the 27th ult. The trial of Major Shawe had concluded ; the re sult is as yet unknown. The commissioner had returned from Hydrabad to Kurrachee to be ex amined as an evidence for the prosecution, had he been required, and was still at the seat of his government. The major is said to make no secret of having assisted Ali Moorad with his counsel, and his defence consisted of a justification of his conduct in so doing. It is expected he will be re moved from the service. The weather was cold, and wind northerly; sickness was in a great degree abating amongst the European troops. The 3rd Dragoons were expected at Kurrachee by the sth January. NIZAM'S DOMINIONS. Colonel Lowe is to succeed General Fraser as resident at the court of the Nizam. Mr. Dighton is again attracting attention at Hyderabad. The prime minister appears to have pledged a number of the Nizam's jewels with Mr. Dighton, for 50,0001., and Mr. Dighton being desirous of leaving the country, requested payment of the sum thus advanced by him on the jewels. This the minister could not do, so Mr. Dighton proclaimed in the city that on such a day he would sell the jewels by public auction ; but it was considered very doubtful whether he would get any bidders, and to take them with him he certainly would never be allowed, so long as there were cut-throat Arabs and Ro hillas to be hired to prevent their leaving the city, or waylaying Mr. Dighton on the road. BENGAL AND THE NORTH-WEST PROVINCES. Sir John Little quitted Calcutta on the 11th ult. in the ship Nile, and is succeeded as military mem ber of the supreme council by Sir W. IL Gilbert ; Mr. Dorin, provisional member, acting in council till Sir Walter took up his appointment on the 15th ult. The Nile had a narrow escape from wreck on the coast near Waltair, not far from Madras ; mis led by soma lights on shore, the captain kept in too close, when the vessel struck, but as the weather was calm and immediate measures were taken to land part of the cargo and throw some overboard, she was got off without damage. The ship John Leach was wrecked on the Reef Head on the 12th ult. The captain, his wife, and the crew of the vessel escaped with their lives, and it was hoped a portion of the cargo would be saved. The ship Allan had returned to Kedgeree Point with her cargo on fire, and been scuttled on the beach. 286,5681. were realised by Government at the last opium sale of the year at Calcutta ; the prices paid for both Patna and Benares being nearly 101. per chest lower than those obtained at the previous month's sale. Major Ouseley, 50th N. 1.. recently in civil employ, has been suspended from the service pending the pleasure of the Court of Di rectors, this having been caused by his having sent what the Governor-General considered a very intemperate letter to the home authorities on the subject of his late court martial. MADRAS. The head-quarters and right wing 94th Foot left Canuamore for Bangalore on the 9th ult. A por don of the right wing had been ordered to proceed to For;; St. George, the remainder to follow by-and bye. Dr. C. Daubeny and Ensign. the Hon. W. Arbuthnot have retired from the service. Lieut. Christie, of the Ist Fusiliers, has been tried at Rangoon for having been drunk, of which he was acquitted. BOMBAY. Lord Fitzclarence reached Ahmednuggnr on the 19th ult., and having inspected and reviewed the troops and the artillery school of instruction; re turnedto the presidency via Poonah onthe 24th. His lordship holds a levee in the town-hall to-morrow at noon. There was a grand ball at Government-house on the night of the 31st December, at which both Lord and Lady Falkland were present. The governor is said to have been requested to remain at his post till 1854 ; on his retiremen, it is thought quite cer tain he will be succeeded byLord Fitzclarence. Con sequent on the continued indisposition of Brigadier Wylie, the command of the garrison of Bombay has been conferred on Col. Morris, of the 12th Native Infantry, just arrived at the presidency. General Stavely quitted Bombay for Poonah on the 21st, General Somerset for Ahmendabad on the 27th, and Brigadier-General James for Belgaum on the 29th ult., these places being the head-quarters of their respective divisions. The Owen Glendower has just left for the Cape and London, touching at Cannanore for the invalids of her Majesty's 94th Foot. The girder bridge over the railway of By culla has just been finished, and is a beautiful piece of workmanship ; the iron beams, six j a number, are 36 feet long E.nd two deep. It is now quite certain that Mr. Jackson, of Cal cutta, has been appointed Puisne Judge of Bom bay. He will likely arrive here by the next China mail steamer. Mr. A. B. Warden, of the civil service, has been granted a furlough to Europe. The Bank of Bombay has declared a dividend for the past six months at the rate of 5 per cent. per an num. The experiment of producing beer from the beer-stone recently sent out to the Government, has proved a failure at Bombay. The Masonic craft have hailed Lord Fitzclarence as a brother, and the call has been responded to right fraternally. His lordship partakes of a banquet to be given by the brethren on the 12th instant. The state of' trade just now is very unsatisfactory indeed, and seems to puzzle mercantile men not a little. Freights have risen to 41. ss. and 4/. 10s. for London and Liverpool, and tornage is Scarce. Rate of Exchange are high. The weather is cool and delightful, and the gay season set in ; sickness is, notwithstanding, rather prevalent amongst the natives, as it generally is in cold weather. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. THE BOMBAY MARKETS FROM THE 17TH DECEMBER TO THE 3D JANUARY INCLUSIVE. The money market is about the same as when we last wrote—still well supplied and cheap. Securities of al kinds are dull and difficult of sale at quoted rates, which are, for— Transfer Loan Rs. 1141 Sicca Fives Sicca Fours Company's Fives 9 8 4 Y 1 107 k Company's Fours » 94 Oriental Bank Corporation Shares 7) 44 per cent. prem.

The Commercial Bank have declared a dividend for the half-year ended the 31st of December at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum. The market for cotton piece goods still continues dull, and prices have to some extent declined since the arrival of last mail, in consequence of an anxiety to realise which has been shown on the part of holders. Grey Shirtings-40-inch of all descriptions, with the exception of low 541 b., which maintains its last value, have suffered at the rate of 1 to 2 annas per piece ; 45- inch is dull, and sales cannot be effected without accept • ing lower rates. Grey Madapollams—For low qualities some inquiry exists, but descriptions above 31b. are seldom asked for. Grey jaconet is in small request.

Meer —Saracens 27 hogsheads sold at 37r., and 40 hogsheads Gosby's at 36r. Metals—English bar iron, sheets, hoops, and round nail rod are without alteration ; square nail rod has slightly declined in value. Little has been doing in Swedish iron, and Swedish steel in tubs has to a small extent declined. Faggots are without inquiry. Lead, both pig and sheet, is difficult of sale, at slightlyreduced prices. Spelter is in good request, at enhanced rates.

Freights are 4/. ss. for Liverpool, 4/. to 4/. 10s. for London, and 20r. per candy to China. Exchange on England has risen to 2s. 1 13-16ths for for credit, and 23. 20. for document bills, when these high rates induced a demand on the Calcutta market, which has caused.the rates to retire to 3s. Id. for credit and 2s. 10. to 2s. lid. for document bills. The rates on Calcutta are 99r. per cent., and on China 217 r. per 100 dollars, at 60 days sight. THE UNITED STATES, ARRIVAL OF THE AMERICA. The British ax id North American Royal Mail steam-ship Araeri.ca, Leitch, commander, arrived in the Mersey, yestAirday, at noon, with about: 70 pas sengers, and the usual mails from all parts of the United States, C anada, Newfoundland, &c. There is no specie by this arrival. The America left Boston on the 19th inst., at noon, and Halifax early on the morning of the 21st, thus bringing five days' later intelligence from the whole Americ' in continent than was received by the arrival on F] riday of the Humboldt steamer off Cowes. Captain Le'Ltch reports having passed the royal mail steamer Europa, off Halifax, on the 21st, and saw a large steamer standing westward on the 28th. The new steam-ship Arabia, which had put into Halifax for a liesh supply of coals, in consequence of the severe t tales she encountered on her first out ward voyage, arrived safely at New York on the morning of th e 15th inst. Intelligence, has reached New York that all the passengers of the Cornelius Grinnell are saved. By advices received in Washington from Ha vannah, dated :the 11th instant, we learn that Mr. Beyla, a wealthy and influential English resident at Cuba, had been ordered by the Governor to quit the country at two hours' notice. No reason was assigned ft )1. this severe step, and the interfer ence of the B 1 itish Consul in Mr. Beyla's behalf had proved quiff to ineffectual. Considerable excite ment prevailed, on the subject, both in Cuba and at Washingto: a, on the news becoming known there. The commis; tion sent to Mexico to examine into the merits of the Gardiner claim, has returned to Washington, and presented a report deelaring, the whole claim a fraud on the United States Go vernment. The accounts from Mexico of the revolutionary movements are, at once meagre and conflicting. On the one hand,. the Government papers represent that the rebellion is subsiding ; while others, on the contrary, assert that the troops of Uragas had defeated'those of the Government under Vasquez in Gua,ndinalo. When the .Am erica left Boston, there was a moderate amour it of business going forward in all the chief cities eof the union. The money market at New York, since the de parture of the previous steamer, had been very easy ; money was plentiful, and could be obtained at moderate rate s ; the general trade of the country is reported to be. in a most satisfactory condition. Government ;stocks were in good demand, and previous quotations were well supported. The market for breadstuffs was rather quiet, and not many tram actions were reported, in conse quence of hoUters waiting further advices from hence, which the Europa would convey. Prices were reported as follows :—Western Canal flour, 5 dols. 50 c. to .5 dols. 62 c. per barrel, steady ; Gennessee prune wheat, 1 dol. 22 c. to 1 dol. 24 c. per 60 lbs. ; Indian corn, round yellow, 70 c. to 72 c. ; Indian meal, 3 dols. 62 c. to 3 dols. 75 c. per barrel. 1 - The cotton market at New York was reported brisk, with an average amount of business doing. Prices had slightly advanced, as will be seen from the following quotations :—New Orleans and Mo bile, mid fair to fair, 111 c. to 12,1-c. per lb.; Up lands ditto to ditto, 10ftc. to 11c., in each case showing a rise of ic. per lb. The reports from the southern markets all report an advance in prices ; at New Orleans, on the 15th, middling was quoted 9ic. per lb. Provisions were in moderate demand, but prices ' were unchanged. Freights were lower :—Flour to Liverpool was ruling at 2s. 9d. to 3s. per barrel. Cotton to Li verpool, id. to 5-16 d. per lb.; ditto to Havre, 10. to Ihc. per lb. __ _ Exchange on London was quoted 109 to 109 k, with a quiet market ; on Paris, 5 13.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] —Diseases of the Kidneys, Bladder, &c.—Dr. Denis Cronin has removed from Leicester -place to 35, Bruton-street, Berkeley-square, where he may be consulted, as usual, from ten till two, on his treatment of affections of the kidneys, bladder, and prostrate gland, in their connection with diseases of the stomach liver. Urinary Analysis (the importance of which to the successful treatment of disease is n ow with full acknow ledged), condu cted daily, in accord Cronin's new theory. _..„, ~ (ADVERTISEMENT.]—.I3OIIOWay'S Ointment and Pills, an Infallible Remedy for Tumours, Swellings, and Con tracted Joints. —Ann Carter, housemaid, residing with a family in Burton-crescent, had an immense tumour in her right knee, which increased to such a q size that she could not bend the joint, and was in conse obliged to leave h er situation. Herdical attendant informed me her that there was no chance of cure, and it would be necessary to amputate the /limb. This opinion not satis fying her, she commenced using Holloway's Ointment and at and Pills, and, by God's blessing, they have been the imeans of effecting a perfect cure, and she has resumed her former situation. Sold by all druggists, Messrs. Holloway's, 244, Strand. . ; STATE OF TRADE. ( From the Manchester Guardian of Saturday. ) MANCHESTER, JAN. 28.—A second addition of a half per cent. to the rate of discount, so immediately after the first, has of course the effect of restricting in some degree the extent of operations in our staples ; not on account of the mere advance to be paid, but rather through the diminished facility of converting into cash bills of long dates and below the first class, which, by an indirect influence, increases the caution even of the most opulent houses. But the sound condition of the busi ness of this district is seen in the fact that aggregate prices have still continued to harden, though in a barely appreciable degree, throughout the last fortnight. In the present week, there has been a steady demand of moderate extent from the home consumers of yarns, par ticularly of the medium counts, and also from the conti nental buyers of warps and pincops from 24's upwards. These spinnings are consequently rather higher ; in the course of a fortnight they have gained about id. per lb. Warps and weft for domestics continue perfectly firm, the latter rather hardening. The contracts in hand for China have caused 16's to 24's reeled water twist to be fully as dear as it was a week ago ; and yester day and to-day we have some renewal of demand, with a slight further tendency in prices to advance. The production of 40's and 50's mule yarns, of India quality, is pre-engaged. In the department of goods, we find that the dealers are laying their bands on the cheaper lots of domestics of such qualities (in particular as are suitable for the Canadian buyers), several of which arrived by the last steamer. The better qualities, which they purchase in the United States, have been there raised in price. There has not been so much demand for China shirtings, as fort he light er d escr i p ti ons a d ap t e d t o the markets of India ; all kinds however, are well en gaged ; and the telegraphic announcement of the Over- Land mail is again occasioning rather more inquiry. Longcloth, T's, and jacconets of low and medium quali ties, are in fair request. We have still to report well of 7-8 printing cloths, especially in 52 to, 64 reeds. The American packet, which arrived only on Thursday, re ports rather higher prices. In Liverpool there is still an upward bias. Fair is quoted id. higher since this day week. GLASGOW, JAN. 28.—Our cotton market during the present week has been active, and prices are again 11d. per lb. higher than on Friday last. BRADFORD, JAN. 27.—W00l—There is at present a stillness in our market with the buyers, who, having supplied themselves at prices much cheaper than any thing that is now offering,, do not feel inclined to add to their stocks, and content themselves to wait till they are more nearly used up ; but we fear from the high prices now established with the grower 4 and dealers, there is little ease to be expected in subsequent purchases. The stock in the staplers' hands is meagre, and of really good wool the choice is only indifferent. Noils and brokes are without change. Yarns—This month is closing with a very unenviable position for the spinners. Wools are too dear, and Gallipoli oil is 75 per cent. dearer than at this period last year. The buyers of yarns all complain that they cannot get a cor responding advance on their production, and are conse quently urgent for all , contracts being delivered, as by them only can they shelter themselves from loss. Pieces —The increased cost of goods has no doubt acted as a drawback on the sales, for the merchants complain that they cannot ge t goo d s up ' co r respon di ng ly with the ad vance sought i n th e grey , b u t a s the season advances they will h ave hi g h er pr i ces t o p a y, for the manufac turers are limiting their production because they cannot cover cost.—Bradford Observer. LEICESTER, JAN. 27.—The home demand continues very steady, and more is doing by the country houses than by the openness of the season might be expected. There are still shipping orders in the course of execution, both for the Australian and Canadian markets ; and the demand for fancy hosiery, shirts, half-hose, and socks adapted to these markets was never greater at this period of the year, whilst the manufacture for cotton hosiery keeps most of the operatives in full employ. The move ment of the increase of discount by the Bank of England is considered very judicious, even as only applied to the restriction o f speculation. it is rather a singular feature in our market;, that although the cotton market is re ported dull, brown coons suited to our trade are only barely supplied, whilst the demand for blue grey is ten times greater ti-an the supply. Worsted spinners find great difficulty in realisirg present prices. Wools are stationary, at the present advance ; short sorts and nods are even more than ever sought after.—Leicester Jour ,sal. LIVERPOOL, JAN. 28.—=Our market, without any very animated appearance, has a perceptible upward tendency, holders supplying the demand only sparingly, and the very fair amount of transactions readily taking off any useful cotton ; prices have been gradually moving upw'ards, and at the close or the week there is an ad vance of id. per lb. upon our last quotations of Ameri can. The market is wan: 'y becoming less freely sup plied with Surats, and extreme- prices have been current, id. advance in some oases being paid. 10,720 Ameri can, 2,480 Egyptian, 470 Bahia, and 530 Surat are re ported on speculation and 2,620 American, 20 Egyp tian, 100 Bahia, and 1,830 East India for export. To day we have a pretty , general demand, and a firm mar ket, at the advance of ad. quoted for the week : the sales are 9,000 bales, including 3,000 on speculation and export. The total sales for the week are 55,650 bales. ACIIrITY IN THE STAPLE TRADES OF THE NORTH. The dullness of the night, it is said, is but the precursor of the brightness of the morning ; and we are happy to report that, after a long-protracted period of depression, the leading interests of the Tyne, the Wear, and the Tees, with the district around and immediately beyond these, are again rel ruing, and we now experience somewhat of the buoy ancy, briskness, and prosperity which characterised other days. There is a better demand for coal, "the black diamonds" of the North, and somewhat improved prices are obtained. With the late rapid advance in the price of iron there has been a comsponding'ncrease in the value of manufactured articles; alkali and o: - Iier staples share in the general improvement ; and fre . ghts, both in the home and foreign trades, are " looking up," the general opinion being that the prezent high rates will not only continue, but be increased. On the banks of the Tyne, iron ship-building is proceeding with rapid strides, the skill, enera, and integrity of our builders has ing already very fl - 2mly established here this im portar::; branc7.l of industry. The " wooden walls," too, are in good demand, and both heae and at Sun derland many ships are on the stocks which would be a credit to her Majesty's dockyards. We still want convenient and extensive docks, but this de sider.'Lum is in course of being supplied. The Hay Hole dock will shorZly be commenced ; and we find from an explanation given by Mr. Clayton at the meet ing of the River Commission on Thursday, that so far from being opposed to another dock at the Low Lights, or elsewhere in the river, "he is in favour of docks in every part or the Tyne where they would not injuriously affect th! navigation." We meddle not, at present, with his dicta relative to the railway from Shields to Mo.peth, but whatever may be the upshot of the contest Jip.ween the charitable North umbrian landowners and the reared Majpr of Dra goons and his allies as to that, we most sincerely hope that the Examiners on Standing Orders will allow the pro.;eFtors to proceed in obtaining a bill for the dock, which is perhaps the most important, and certainly the most necessary part of their scheme. The spacious and crowded docks at Sunderland must, we think, b d e o c 4 k u s o a b r j e e c a t o o f u e t n t vy o be t° 4 t v h e e r every e g x n e n u d in e e d , T a y n n d e s a i s d H e r , a r t I T e p h o o o s e l is making the utmost pOssible efforts both to attract and accommodate shipping, it is manifestly not only impru dent and unsafe, but absolutely suicidal, to remain apathetic and indifferent as to the improvement, in every possible respect, of " our noble liver. The unwise and injurious jealousy and opposition which have too long prevailed between Newcastle and North Shields are now almost entirely removed, and we trust nothing will be done to rekindle the fires which burnt so fiercely of yore, to our mutual hurt ; but that every good and true inhabitant will do his best to culti vate amicable and kindly feelings, and to increase the trade and commerce of both ends and banks of the Tyne— Newcastle Guardian of Saturday. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. We understand that by this time Vice-Admiral Deans Dundas, C. 8., has received his orders at Gibraltar to proceed with his fleet to Malta. A contemporary reports that a steam-vessel will ac company the Rattlesnake, Commander Trollope, to the Pacific, on her way t o supp l y th e Pl over , an d t o ass i s t in the search for Sir John Franklin. We believe that no steamer will accompany the Rattlesnake from Eng land, but that orders have been sent out to the Com mander-in-Chief on the Brazils stationtlo send a steamer to meet the Rattlesnake, and to tow her through the Straits of Magellan. It is believed that the Trident will be appropriated for this service. The emigrants and crew of the Hercules, Commander Baynton, at Queenstown, suffering from attacks of small-pox, were landed in two launches, towed by the Advice, steam-tender, on Thursday, and were conveyed to the Naval Hospital, at Haulbowline, where every accommodation had been provided for them by the gal lant commander-in-chief, Rear-Admiral Provis. Dr. Dunn, the Royal naval medical officer, had made every preparation to receive his patients, and all feel assured that they will have the best attention, and that their dis tressing malady will be treated with the utmost skill. We hear that the fever is of the most malignant kind. APPOINTMENTS. Commander George Hancock (1850), late of the Lon don, is to commission the Espiegle, 12, at Sheerness. This fine brig, the best of the experimental squadron, was, it will be remembered, designed by the committee of the School of Naval Architecture, Messrs. Read, Chat field, and Creuze. Paymaster—John Doyle (1851), to the Espiegle. Clerks—F. J. N. Kenyon (1849), to the Espiegle ; Robert Bone (1849), to the Hogue, 58, screw guard ship, Plymouth. Assistant Engineer—Charles Beal, to the Blenheim, 58, screw guardship, Portsmouth. - - PROMOTIONS. To be Chief Engineers,—Assistant Engineers John Boxwell, of the Si moom , screw troop - frigate ; James Urquhart, of the S courge , 6, s tea m - s loop ; Robert Jago, of the Sampson, Trusoott, of the R o y a l y ac ht Victoria and Albtrt. 6, steam-frigate, Gibralt ar ; Thomas PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 29. Duke of Wellington, 130, screw line-of-battle ship, hauled out of the new dock into the steam basin, and is placed under the shears, preparatory to her being mast ed. Every exertion is being used to get this noble ship ready for commission. Leopard, 16, steam-frigate, Captain . George Giffard hauled from the steam basin into the dock vacated by the Duke of Wellington. She will have her copper cleaned and examined, after which she will go to Spit head, and wait further orders. Medea, 6, steam-sloop, Commander John C. Bailey, received on board her powder and shells at Spithead, and is ready for instant service. Bull Dog, 6, steam-sloop, was brought down this morning, and placed alongside the south jetty. Report says she will be commissioned, and be made available to receive troops on board for foreign service. She will be engaged in the first instance to convey the depot of the 85th to the Isle of Wight, and in bringing troops from thence to this garrison. JAN. 30. Tyne, 4, store-ship, Master-Commander Peter Wel lington, got under weigh this morning early for Wool wich. The wind at starting was dead in her teeth, be ing about E.N.E., but at noon it came round to the well-known quarter, and is now S.S.W. ; and if it so continues, will take her to the river in about 24 hours. Barracouta, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Geo. Parker, arrived this day at noon from the westward. She is at present at Spithead, but in all probability will proceed to Sheerness to-morrow. PLYMOUTH, JAN. 29 The Swift, 6, Commander Aldham, was paid off this day. The Commander-in-Chief, Admiral Sir John A. Om manney, inspected the 'Vulture, Magicienne, and Argus, steam-vessels, to-day. The Castor, 36, Commander Wyvill, sailed yesterday for Chatham, to be paid off. The Barracouta, 6, steam-sloop, Command®r Parker, arrived here yesterday, bringing the men paid off . from the Phaeton at the eastward, but who belonged to this port. The Goodwill, lighter, arrived yesterday with stores from Sheerness. The Sinbad lighter, sailed for Portsmouth with stores this afternoon. The Brisk, screw steam-sloop, will be fitted with Grant's distilling apparatus. She will be ready for sea about the middle of the coming month. Her topmasts are fidded, and the rigging rapidly progressing. The Commodore-Superintendent's broad pendant was re-hoisted on board the St. George yesterday, Captain Seymour having returned from an official visit to Somerset-house. The launches for the St. Jean D'Acre are being laid down, and she will go off the stocks about the middle of the month of March. The new dock in the royal yard at this port will very soon be applicable to the public service. The entrance gates, which have been manufactured at the establish ment of Mr. Mare, M.P., Blackwall, have been receiv ed, and are being fitted. It is rumoured that the works at the new steam-yard are to be so hastened as to be ready on the Ist of April next to receive five line-of-battle ships. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. CHESTER CUP.

They went from south to north, and were accompanied by a rumbling noise re sembling thunder. A considerable number of windows were broken ; several houses were slightly injured, and some thick walls cracked. Oscillations of the soil were felt in other places about the same time, especially in the village of Jerisoe and Delebo. An earthquake in Sweden, and at this season of the year, is considered an extraordinary phenomenon. SINGULAR OCOURRENCE.—A rich farmer, named Denel, of C hampigny-les-St.-Maur, near Paris, was a few days ago walking in one of his fields near a wood, when all at once the earth gave way beneath his feet, and he fell in. He uttered a loud cry before disappearing, and three labourers who were near hastened to the spot. But as, they saw the ear th f a lli ng i n f or a cons id era bl e di s t ance, they were afraid to attempt to render any assistance. A gendarme, who was passing, hastened to the spot, and in spite of the danger, seized a spade, and began digging to get at the man. His example 'encouraged the labourers, and they aided him, as did also some persons who came up. But though they worked hard, it was three hours before they reached the unfortunate man, and he was quite dead, The falling of the earth was caused by the recent heavy rains having soaked to a great depth, and their filtered to a stone quarry at a short , distance.
