An attack on Shanghai was expected, and it was said that•the native authorities had even asked for the assistance of British vessels of war ; but the previous tactics of the insurgents, in carefully avoiding the seabeard for fear of collision with the English, renders, such an attack improbable. Owing to their puzzling re semblance in name and uncouth orthography, the li► localities of the insurgents' successes, as chronicled in the overland papers, muSi; convey rather a vague id 3a to English readers, but, referring the principal of these localities to the rivers and great divisions of the empire on which, or in whicli, -they 'are situated, the present state of affairs may be briefly sketched as follows I ANA 'OF AUSTRALASIA, tLe„,, (I ncorporated by Royal Charter, 1835,) No. 8, not Friars, 12th Y. 1853.—The Court of Directors givece that ,1.e..1" branche s ch they Issue LETTERS of CREDIT and BILLS v Inez Is reduced to TWO per Cent.

Moreover, the progress of the natives in education and intelligence is now so great that even a member of the civil service--a provisional member of Councillately acknowledged in a pub lic speech that numbers of native youths were now sent forth annually from the educational institu tions of India " who need not fear. to challenge the Reyes of Haileybury to a contest in any branch of education except the study of Greek and Latin, which has never been introduced in India." The object of the precipitate legislation at present con templated is alleged to be the allayment of the agitation now going on in India regarding the re nevral of the Charter ; but I am in a position to say that, at least in the Western Presidency, the course proposed will have a direct contrary effect —that it will infuse a degree of irritation and a sense of injustice into the existing agitation, and excite an organised and continued opposition to Government, which will be expressed through the medium of a free press in such a manner as cannot fail to embarrass most materially the future admini strations of Bombay." per piece' in consequence of sales having been forced upon a market which "had already become dull.

Every one is aware of the power which appearance has in gaining the most desirable ob jects, and every person is convinced that success is often decided by the nnrrnr"+•- in which they are arrayed. "PROPERLY DRESSED," 'TABLY ATTIRED," Ire the most promintift .sting description. Thus the CLO PILING DUST ,. and foremost in the circle of trade, and on its right. _ . - %no succe,ss and comfort of millions in an important measure depends. Thdrefore, all tasteless, comfortless, and fashion less CLOTIdING is an infliction on the patience and pockets of the public. But E. MOSES and SON have won universal and ceaseless fame by business transactions beneticia Ito every elf .s—for the . NOBLEMAN every order of ATTIRE required, or for his servants LIVERIES to any design—for the MERCHANT, CLERK, or MECHANIC, the best and most suitable, and at the same time the cheapest, goods are presented. The Holiday Dress for Youths and others provided by E. MOSES and SON exhibits novelty in Materials and magnificence in Style and Workmanship, which has no parallel is this or any other country, and, as usual, the prices are much lower than are charged elsewhere. The Hosiery Goods, for Ladies and Gentlemen are, the newest, the best, and most fashionable articles which have been produced. Hats and Caps in every variety for the season, in which superior quality and cheapness will again win the approbation of all purchasers A magnificent stock of Boots and Shoes; not to be equalled In any respect by all other houses combined. E. MOSES and SQN, Aldgate and Minor:es, and New Oxford street, corner of ilart-street. The Emigrant's right course is to get a good Ship and a good stock of suitable Clothing: the former is required' for his safety, and the latter for his comfort and success. A good Ship may be had in most places, but a good Outfit only in. one Establishment—that is, E. MOSES and SON'S. Shipping information is furnished without charge, and Outfits, are speedily arranged for any profession and' ovupation for- considerablylesS Wiley than others charge, and at the same tittle the articles are better in quality than any obtelned elsewhere. An outlay at E. MOSES and SON'S is productive of considerablesrAt to Emigrants, and occasions less inconvenience in sale than any other kind of goods. A 'separate department is kept for Emigrants. _ Full Lists of Outfits for Ladies' and Gentlemen may be had on applicatton, or post free to any part of the kingdom. , CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON . regret having to guard the public against impositlon,having learned that the untradesman-like falsehood of "Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's the same concern," has been 'retorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have No CONNEXION WITH ANY OTHER.

IMPORTANT.-Should any article not give satisfaction, it will be exchanged if desired, or, if preferred, the, money will be returned without hesitation. All goods are marked in plain figures, the lowest price, from which no abatement can be made. The Establishments are closed from sunset Friday to sunset on Saturdays, when business Js-resumed- till 12 o'clotk.

SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, and Matric.dated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medic Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. 11/1 AY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on V L . the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from juvenile irregularities and excesses, which have pro duced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitfhl Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endiess'modiflcations owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which can - not be violated wlthout incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the eVil and its conJequences may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. DOCTOR - LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged In an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, and s the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the ;Abbe press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is tree. In selecting this department of practice, he has been amply regarded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the care of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions.

This celebrated Oil is now universally acknowledged to be the cheapest, and superior to all other preparations for the Hair. It prevents it from falling oft* or turning grey—strengthens weak hair —produces a thick and luxuriant growth—cleanses it from Scurf and Dandriff—and makes it bcautiful.y soft, curly, and glossy. Its operation in cases of baldness is peculiarly active ; and in the growth of WHISKERS, EYEBROWS, and Musremnos, it is unfailing in its stimulative operation. For Children it is especially recommended, as forming the basis of a beautiful head of hair, and rendering the are of the flne-ccmb unnecessary.

Some days since we published a telegraphic message from Trieste in anticipation of the Over land Mail ; we have now received our letters and papers by the Marseilles route. - The following is the letter of the Times corre spondent at Bombay, dated April 14th : The latest news from Burmah extends to the 23d of March. I mentioned in my last that a com bined attack was about to be made for the third time on the stronghold of the robber chief Myah Thoon by 1,500 troops under Sir J. Cheape—the boats of the Queen's and Company's men-of-was under Captain Tarlton, and a body of Karians under Captain Fytche. The attack was made on the 19th of March by Sir John Cheape's force, which had to cut a road through a dense jungle in order to approach the Burmese position, the out lets of which were guarded by Captain Tarlton and Captain Fytche to prevent the enemy's escape. After four hours' hard figtting, and after sustain ing a loss . of 102 rank and file killed and wounded (including 13 officers), Sir J. Cheape succeeded in carrying the enemy's position and bayoneting its defenders. Myah Thoon unfortunately escaped for the time with 100 or 200 followers, but Captain Fytche and his Karians went off immediately in pursuit, and were thought certain of catching him. No particulars have as yet been received, but the following demi-official note from Sir J. Cheape (dated 20th of March), in anticipation of the di spatches, has been communicated by Government to the Calcutta papers. " Under the impression that authentic information will be anxiously looked for regarding the operations of the force under my command, I hasten to inform you of the total dispersion of the enemy's forces under the chief Gua Myth Thoon. His stronghold was captured yester day morning after a most determined and protracted re sistance. The loss on both sides has been heavy. Our casualties are as follow : " KILLED. "Lieutenant Taylor, 9th Madras Native Infantry ; Ensign Boileau, 67th g ' WOUNDED.

" I cannot speak too highly of the conduct of the troops in the performance of this service, in which there were many hardships to endure and difficulties to over come, it being necessary to cut a road through a forest of the most dense description, intersected by lakes and deep water-courses. The two field guns, rocket tubes, and rockets, which unfortunately fell into the enemy's possession on the 4th of last month, have been recap tured, the guns having been used against us in the action of yesterday." It is to these guns mainly that the hem y loss on our side is attributed by private letters. We are sorry to say that Lieutenant Cockburn, 18th Royal Irish, is described as being mortally wound ed ; one letter even places him among the killed. The sergeant-major of the 4th Sikhs is also reported killed, and Conductor Lisbey, of the Rocket Troop, severely wounded. The operations commenced at 9 a.m., and ended at 1 p.m. The sick and wounded have been sent to Rangoon in the steamers Phle gethon and Mahanuddy. Great mortality from cholera and dysentery had prevailed among both troops and camp followers during the expedition. The camp followers had also suffered much from smallpox. Much uncertainty prevails regarding the actual state of affairs at Ava. The late King's brother in-law is now believed to be fully established in power, but it is said that he will not hear of any cession of territory; that, true to the traditional policy of the Burmese, he is endeavouring to gain time at any expense of truth and promises ; and that, flushed with his recent success over his own Sovereign, he manifests no anxiety regarding our threatened advance on his capital. The confi dence of his advisers, moreover,' says the Friend of India, - " Appears to have been greatly increased by the recent affair at Donabew, and by the desperate resist ance of the Dacoit leader, who repulsed our troops on that occasion. This chief, Myah Thoon, was an outlaw during the reign of the old King, but his recent success, and the desperate stand which he is still making in the jungle, have wiped away the recollection of his crimes. The Court have not only sent him, as a recompense for hit fidelity, a string of titles, the highest in their power to bestow, but have invested him with legal authority over the entire district to which his operations have been confined, and this, we believe, since the publication of the Governor-General's proclamation." The recent defeat of Myah Thoon by Sir J. Cheape will probably induce the King to alter his tone ; if not, as the rains will set in very shortly, and Ava will be in six weeks as accessible as Prome, our troops will advance on his capital, and the fact of additional troops having been ordered up to Prome appears to indicate that such a measure is already in contemplation. The Bombay Government lately removed two of the Sudder judges, because their private moral character was considered liable to newspaper attack, on the assigned grounds that the character of Go vernment was implicated in that of its high officials. A few days after this decision M. Luard, a civil servant of high standing, wrote to the papers to say that, if he was allowed the opportunity of a public inquiry, he would prove that two other still higher officials had been guilty of infamous con duct in the exercise of their judicial functions. Government thereon suspended Mr. Luard, but they have declined all inquiry, and taken no steps to clear the character of the high officials thus pub licly attacked. This inconsistency has exposed the Government to severe animadversion, and the local press is again unanimously arrayed against Lord Falkland. Mr. Luard's allegations are such as will not be allowed to pass in England without the fullest parliamentary inquiry, the result of which will be a blue book, certainly not less voluminous or less damaging to the Bombay Government than the Outram contro versy.

(Prone the Overlanc Madras Ativenidaan, April 11.) Sites our last the Madras shores thive been visited by a storm, unusual in the time of its appearance, and ter ribly destrtctive in the nature of its_ravages. The wea ther on Friday last was cloudy and unsettled, but on Saturday afternoon it began to show signs of an ap proaching tempest. A great deal of rain fell during the night, and by noon on Sunday it was evident_ that the shipping were in danger. The wind continued to gather strength during the afternoon, blowing steadily from the east. - The surf rose fearfully high, and a heavy ground swell set in, against which it seemed impossible that any strength Of moorings could make effectual resis tance. To put to' sea was beyond the power of most of 'the vessels anchored in the roads, though such a course afforded almost the only chance of escape, as before an offing could be gained the ship would be drifted so far to leelard, as to incur imminent risk of being driven on shore. The Devonshire succeeded in getting away, but great tears are entertained for her safety. At sunset the gale had increased almost to a hurricane, and the first wreck occurred while it was yet daylight. The sloops Muddut Mowlah, Bazerdeen Nacoda, had made sail, and was trying to get out to sea. All that seamanship could do was, however, tried in vain. The current drove her towards the shore with resistless force, and the crew, finding that there was no help for it, turned the head of the vessel to the sands, and let her drive bodily on to the beach. She came on wards with incredible swiftness, but had no sooner got within the line of surf, which extended far out to sea, than she capsised on her beam ends. Another moment and the doomed craft rose from the trough of waters, as if trying to regain her natural position, when the sea struck her amidships, and cut her completely in two, one half drifting down towards the fort,- and' the other being as instantly swallowed up on the spot. A few of the crew got on shore, but the far greater number met a fate as instantaneous as that of the vessel, which a few short minutes had sufficed to destroy. Between seven and eight o'clock the Aboukir, a barque of 800 tons, Captain Carvell, parted her cable, and was seen drifting towards the North Beach. Unhappily, she came foul of the Serampore, Captain Hope Smitb, a fine ship of 1,000 tons, on her voyage out. The Serampore had up to this moment, rode in safety, but the shock of the colli sion was so great that she too dragged her anchors and came in. It was at first thought that she would reach the shore without difficulty, but she had hardly got within the surf, when she filled and went down in a mo ment. The catastrophe was so sudden that the people -.n board had no opportunity to provide for their safety, and eighteen of the European crew went down with the vessel. After getting clear of the Serampore the Aboukir continued her headlong course, and was soon in the midst of the roaring whirlpool. The moment she touched the ground her decks parted, and a couple of the crew fell into the gulf, when horrible to relate the two parts of the ship came as instantaneously together, and crushed the poor fellows completely flat. The crew were paralysed with terror, and made but little effort to save themselves ; but three reached the shore in safety. The Lutchmi, a barque of 700 tons, Captain Ee Bceuf, was wrecked between 6 and 7 o'clock, but for tunately her masts remained standing, and the crew took refuge in the mizen rigging. A hawser was conveyed to the vessel, and soon after midnight, one of the poor wretches, more venturesome than the rest, crept along it and got safe to land. He was directed to shout, that his voice might re-assure his shipmate - s, and a second essaying the same feat with like results, blue lights were burned to show their figur9s to the crew, who thereupon took heart of grace, and:were successively transferred from the ship to the beach without loss. A Portuguese brig, the Senhora de Monte Captain J. N. Fernandes, capsized while endeavouring to gain an offing, but for tunately 17 of the crew were saved. Nothing could be more complete than the destruction of the various wrecks, which were literally broken into splinters. The shore was covered with fragments of spars, beams, naval chests, drowned seamen, and the miscellaneous cargoes of the various ships, all of which, we believe, were nearly, if not quite full. The Scram pore had just come home from Calingapatam, where she had taken in a large quantity of rice, and would have sailed for England in a day or two. The occurrence of a gale at this season of the year was so entirely unex pected, that it could hardly be charged as an offence against the captains of ships in the roads, if they had neglected to take the precautions usual during the mon soon months. We believe, however, that the disasters which have happened could not have been prevented by any amount of skill or foresight. The wind blew dead on shore during the whole of the gale, and left scarcely any alternative between holding on at anchor and certain destruction. The magistrates and the master attendant and his deputy were unremitting in their endeavours to afford assistance ; but the merit of saving life and ren dering the most effectual aid must be ascribed to cata maran men and the Madras boatmen, who,laboured with a zeal and intrepidity which deserve all praise. We know not if means of alleviating those terrible and frequent ca lamities, more potent than we possess at present, might not be created by the authorities ' • but it is certain that the appliances in use were work e d to the utmost. At the time we write, five large vessels and about 15 native dhonies have been wrecked, no tidings having been heard of the Devonshire, the danger to the shipping not being yet over. Since writing the above we have received the following from our worthy master attendant : Sunday, yery " The weather assumed " aappearance last night, and the barometer was unsteady and on the decline, although the wind was N.E. Towards midnight uns M et a t r le ci d t 27, 1853. it became more unsettled, and until daylight there were squalls at intervals, accompanied with heavy rain ; the ground swell and surf high, and increasing barometer at midnight 29.96. At six a.m. barometer 29.94. The master attendant made the general signal, veer more cable.' At 9.30 the weather squally with heavy rain ; made signal, Make all snug.' At eleven a very heavy squall from the north-east, with much rain. Several dhonies parted or slipped their cable, and stood to sea. A Portuguese brig has drifted some distance, but all the other shipping are riding without much strain. Only one boat has been able to cross the surf, and catamarans have been repeatedly driven back. "At two p.m. smart squalls with rain. The report from the observatory intimates that in all probability stormy weather has occurred in the bay, but that the astronomer is not apprehensive of worse weather here. "At three, made signal Weather is suspicious,' and to keep a good look-out during the night ; the weather more threatening, and the surf breaking beyond the breakwater buoy. "At four, wind varied to due east ; the shipping on a. dead lee shore ; weather more threatening and ground swell increased considerably ; the surf breaking beyond the Serampore, the innermost ship. Ships riding hard. The signals have all been answered, and with a good scope of cable and a second anchor ready, it is hoped they will all weather this unexpected gale. " At 4.40, Cambria made signal cannot ride longer.' Master attendant made signal, let go another bower anchor and strike masts.' " It is now, with infinite regret, that the master at tendant has to announce the following awful and most disastrous occurrences. About five p.m. the Portuguese brig Nossa Senhora de Monte parted ; sail was very promptly made, and she just stemmed the strong northerly current and held to windward about half an hour, when her main boom being carried away, the fore sail split. and weather foretopsail-sheet carried away, her fate seemed inevitable. At 45 minutes past five a tremendous sea threw her on her beam ends ; her masts went by the board, and she capsized, but most provi dentially 17 of the crew swam on shore and were res cued in the inner surf. One poor man was picked up quite dead ; every means were resorted to by a nurnber of medical officers in attendance at the apothecary's, but their efforts unhappily failed. "At sever, it was apparent that both the Aboukir and Serampore were driving, and soon after the Seram pore struck on the outer ridge of the surf a quarter of a mile north of Clive's battery, and one of her crew swam on shore— he stated that the Aboukir had drifted so near, that, fearful of a collison, the Serampore hoi';ted her foretopmast-staysail and broke her sheer, an a in bringing up again the snapped her cable, and a sec oncl anchor not bringing her up, she drove and made pail, but could not haul off. "That fine ship Aboukir parted both her cables I soon after, and on striking the outer ridge of the surf she sud denly broke up, and her hull was shattered into g ments. The second mate, seaman,i a finc-sp over lad, an apprentice, and one was washed board, and swam on shore. " At about half-past eight the good ship Lutcln parted from both her anchors, and drove about if 00 yards north of Clive's battery. She hung broadside c for some time on the outer ridge, when the surf thrv_ her stern on to the shore, and it was discovered when the moon rose that her crew were clinging to the mizen rigg,ing, whence their shouts were occasionally heard and responded to by blue lights. -At low water, about one a.m., the divers, catamaran-men and boatthen, made most resolute efforts to board her, first by catamaran and then with , a coir rope ; they failed repeatedly, but encouraged, by the boat overseer, happily at 2.30 a.m., they succeeded, and persevering in their endeavours, to the admiration of every beholder, these intrepid fellows braved every obstacle, and between that time and five a.m., they succeeded in landing, without the least in jury, every officer and man, one at a time, 16 in number —wading and darting off in a most determined manner to assist the crew—including two young lads who with several others could not swim. Life buoys were also repeatedly taken off and were of essential service. About this time shouts had distinctly been heard from the wreck of the Serampore, and although it lay in the outer surf, yet the catamaran-men one and all de clared that if any living soul was left on the wreck they would ensure the rescue. And most gallantly they re deemed their pledge, as before the master-attendant's boat could reach the Serampore, at six a.m., they had taken off all the surviving crew, seven seamen • but as no dead body was observed of a man who had been ap parently crushed to death, the master-attendant offered them a further reward to bring it on shore. "Besides this lamentable detail, it remains to be told that a large native brig was wrecked near the Marine Villa ; 14 of her crew were saved, and received the most kind attention from gentlemen residing thereabouts, whilst every effort was made by some medical officers to restore animation to those who were washed on shore. It is apprehended that half this vessel's crew were drowned. "Fourteen dhonies were driven on shore, but happily all their crews have been saved. "The most prompt assistance was rendered on this melancholy occasion, from the tow* major, the chief magistrate and other magistrates, the mediavX',depart ment, and a number of gentlemen, and the rocket appa ratus, under Captain Little, was very soon at the scene of the disaster. The assistant master-attendant and the boat overseer were indefatigable. Three huge watchfires were burning: throughout all these anxious operations, whilst a blue light was frequently burnt, and cheered by the suffering mariners, and no effort was spared from dark until six a.m. to afford the most prompt assistance to those in need. _"From my observations last night, at Royapooram, I verily believe the sea rose and fell at least six feet. Several, Jiuts were actually washed away which had stood long beyond sea reach in ordinary times. Another re markable circumstance was the set of the current, as, although the wind had been from N.N.E. and N.E. all Saturday, until noon on Sunday, yet the current was setting throughout the whole of Sunday three miles an hour to the northward, and against the wind. "The ship Serampore, 873 tons.—Two officers and six men saved, 18 men missing. (One body washed ashore and another still clinging to the wreck.) " The barque Aboukir, 816 tons.—The second officer and two men saved, the chief officer and four men missing. "The Lutcbmi, 432 tons.—The whole of the officers and men, 16 in all, saved. "The brig Nossa Senhora do Monte, 163 tons.—Two officers and 15 men saved, the captain and six men missing. Native brigs, and 10 dhonies wrecked ; dhonies foundered. The whole of their crews saved. " M. A. Office, Feb. 28, 5.30 p.m. " C. B." Wind now .S.E., and sea falling.—Athenceum, March 29. The Devonshire parted her best bower soon after eleven p.m. on Sunday, the 27th inst., let go the small bower immediately, but the cable parted, and then sail was made with the utmost promptitude and effect. She struck about one a.m. to the southward of the fort, and soon after found 15 inches in the well, and she has continued making about 1 foot of water an hour ever since. She got 25 minutes to the southward, then tacked to the NE, about eight or nine a.m. on Monday. The Devonshire hove in sight at 3.30 p.m. yesterday, and at five made signal—" In want of anchor and cables"— and then stood off and beat to windward during the night. A nine a.m. this day she brought up with her remain ing anchor, when, with the utmost endeavours the raft was got ready to carry off a bower,. anchor and a chain cable—the raft was towed off by six boats and reached alongside at eleven a.m. The ship Serenus, owing to the infamous conduct of her chief and second mate, who are now in custody, neither veered away cable nor paid any attention to the general signals. This vessel rode out the gale in 10 fathoms, with royal yards across, and only 60 fathoms of cable in the hawser. Her safety is indeed marvellous, as all other ships had a whole cable out, and most of them two anchors ahead. . The American ship Hermoine, from Sydney, arrived yesterday. She experienced a severe gale about 500 miles E. S.E. of Madras. The gale commenced at S. S.E., veered to E.N.E. to east, and thenlhauled round from N.W. to S.W, throughout the 26th instant, with intense heavy rain and furious squalls at times. Hermoine lay to for eight hours under bare poles. Weather cleared up at eight a.m. on the 27th, when the ship made sail ; wind SSE. The gale increased gradually, and abated gradually. The Chrishna, from Sydney, on the 31st of January encountered the gale on Friday„ the 25th, at eight p.m., in 11 deg. north, and 86 deg., v►ith severe squalls ; wore ship at eight a.m. ; on the 26th„ at ten a.m., it suddenly fell calm with torrents of rain,, succeeded by light baf fling winds from SW to S till fi )ur p.m. Wind freshened up from SSE until nine p.m., when it commenced blow ing a perfect hurricane from S. E, and continued in that quarter till daylight of the 27thL This was followed by continual squalls till the night of the 28th. Anchored in Madras Roads at eleven a.m., the 29th instant. All well. The Orestes, from Coringa, the 27th, arrived here at eleven a.m. ; experienced NE', winds and fair weather throughout. This proves that the gale has not extended to the northward. The Kestrel lost her foretop) nast about 30 leagues to the southward, but no particular information from this ship has yet been obtained. N.B. The Devonshire is me )st unfortunately not in sured against either a total or a partial loss. This, together with her . detention 071 account of the want of provisions, and the expenses already incurred by the purchase of provisions at Calcutta, which cannot be countermanded, must involve h .3r worthy owners (Messrs. Wigram and Co.) in very serio us losses. Her escape is, however, a source of great comiolation, and may be con sidered as a remarkable event after having struck in such a heavy sea on a hard sandy ridge, and had she been stranded where she touche d there is every reason to believe that more than half her gallant crew would have perished.

FROM THE 29TH OF MARCH TO THE 13TH OF APRIL, 1853, INCLUSIVE. The money market for the last fortnight has remained in the same easy state as at the date of our last nOvices ; the various Government stocks remained unaltered, but there is an advance in the price of bank shares gene rally, especially in Oriental Bank Corporation shares, which are quoted at 88 to 90 per cent. premium, influ enced, no doubt, by the high price now obtained in Eng land. There has been a run on the Bank of Bombay in consequence of a forgery of their notes having been dis covered j it has, however, subsided, a little extra trouble to the clerks being the only inconvenience experienced. Grey Shirtings 38 by 40,—The heavier descriptions of these goods are still in good inquiry, and continue sale able at the rates formerly reported. But few imports have been made during the ' fortnight, and it is likely that present prices will be maintained until the close of the season, unless large sales are are forced. The heavier qualities have euffered a decline in price of 2 Or 3 annas Grey Madapollams—A good demand exists for the heavier qualities. Other descriptions are not so much sought after. Grey Jacconets are without change, and prices are firmly maintained. Grey twills are without change. Bleached shirtings still continue saleable at the previ ous rates. The finer descriptions are not in so much re quest as the other. Bleached jacconets are still in demand, the lower de scriptions more so, the others not so much. Bleached mulls of the ordinary make continue saleable at the former rate ; the finer qualities are neglected, such sales as are effected being a reduction of 2a. to 3a. Per piece. Lappets are saleable at former rates. Figured shirting continues to be inquired for at the former value. Turkey red cambrics and twills are, much neglected and without improvement in value. Turkey red mulls are seldom inquired for, and have receded in vane 4a. to 6a. per piece. Cotton Yarn—Since last report a fair amount of business has been done. Mule, 20's to 40's, continues in fair inquiry at former rates ; 50's and upwards is dull and slightly declined in value. Water is in good request, and has advanced la. to 4a. Turkey red continues to be inquired for at former rates. Orange is not in such good inquiry, and for green the demand is limited. Ball thread is saleable in small quantities. Copper continues without much change. Iron—English bar and squarenailroad have declined about 2r., but :•no sales [at the reduced rates have been reported. Round nail rod is scarce in the market, and wanted. Sheet and hoop have declined lr. and 2r. ; Swedish bar iron sells at 50r. and 52r., and faggots at their former rates. Spelter is saleable at 12r. to 12k. Lead—Pig sells at 10 3 / 4 to 101, while sheet lead has declined about four annas. Quicksilver is dull at 55r. Cochineal is heavy in stock and dull of sale. Saffron—The demand is limited ; the price is 10 3 / 4 r. to 121 r., according to quality. - Red lead is saleable at an advance of Ba. to 12a, White lead is in good inquiry. Pepper—Bhutcol sells at 66r. to 67r., and Malabar is scarce at 62r. and 63r. Ceffee—Mocha sells at 6r. to 94r. The new crop is expected in June. Canvas is dull of sale at 11r. to 14r. ; a sale of 26 bolts is reported lately ; No. 1 at 4r. to 14r. Cordage has advanced lr., and is difficult to be got. Twine is not to be got in the market at Ba,. a hank. Linseed oil in request. Turpentine in demand, as also white Faint. Empty bottles in request, especially quarts. Beer-100 hhds. Hodgson's are reported sold at 60r., and 40 hhds. Gosbee's at 48r. Cotton—Since the arrival of last mail no reports of the purchase of cotton have reached us ; the present nominal prices are 98r. to 101 r. for Surat, Broach, and Jamboosur ; 94r. to 95r. for Dhollera ; and 90r. to 91r. for Oomrawutty ; 88r. to 90r. for Mangalore. Exchange has risen slightly since the last mail, and may now be quoted at 2s. lid. to 2s. ld. ; on China the rate is 219 r. to 220 r. per 100 dollars ; on Calcutta, 99r. per cent. at 60 days' sight. Tonnage is still scarce, few arrivals having occurred. Freight is difficult to be had, and may now be quoted at to London and Liverpool 51. per ton. CALCUTTA. (From the Calcutta, Overland Price Current, April 7.) The steamer Hindostan arrived on the Ist inst. with London dates to the 24th of February last. • Sugar here has been in brisk demand, but - large sup plies kept prices low until lately, when they became firmer ; our quotations show a fall in all kinds except Benares of 8 to 10 annas from the highest point at the end of January last. The indigo market has been inani mate' and prices have gone lower than at any previous period since the commencement of the season ; 20,634 chests have been shipped up to the sth inst., of which 9,826 have gone to Great Britain, and 7,718 to France. The planters complain loudly of the want of rain, owing to which, the plant already in the ground is suffering, and further progress in sowing is stopped ; for particulars we refer to our article on indigo below. No change has occurred in the value of saltpetre, which, however, attracts a little more attention than it had lately done from British shippers. Exports of rice to Great Britain have fallen off very considerably. A de cline of 4 to 6 annas per seer in the value of raw silk had the effeot of clearing the market ; the March bund has failed owing to the drought, and further supplies cannot be expected till the April growth is ready. Shellac is still inquired for, at unaltered prices ; 205 chests have realised 11-2 per md. Lac dye has not re covered the decline quoted in our last report ; D T has been placed at 70. The demand for hides has been un precedently active, and the shipments of these to Great Britain are considerably above the average. Linseed has also been in active request for both Great Britain and America. Owing to the inferior quality of the sup plies of jute, prices gave way to the extent of 2 to 3 annas per md., but lately, the article ha.c: again regained an upward tedency, and our quotations range as high as they did a month ago. Our market for cotton piece goods remains nearly in the same state in which the last mail left it. Grey and white shirtings, grey Madapollams, and grey and white Jacconets have been respectably placed to a fair extent, with a little improvement in the value of the grey goods. Most other fabrics are dull, with prices rather tending downwards than otherwise, but they are sustained by the rather light supplies we have had of late, which have caused a reduction in some of the stocks. The better feeling noted in our last, as appa rent among the up-country men, has resulted in their operating to a moderate extent, but their inquiries are not animated. The twist market is dull ; dealers buy sparingly, and only for immediate wants. Nos. 20 and 30 attract most notice ; the middling and ordinary qua lities of 40's have receded a trifle ; 50's are a shade lower ; stocks generally have become heavier. A fair amount of business has been done in Turkey red dyes, both German and British. Orange and green yarns are in limited request. The metal market is quiet. A spe culative demand prevailed during the past month for copper, which became dearer, but lately the demand has abated. Very little business in iron is in progress. The holders of spelter are firm, but not much doing. Both pig and sheet lead are in fair inquiry. Tin *plates are in request at our quotatiOns. The money 'market continues to be well supplied, but a better'demand for the circulating medium is apparent. Capitalists can readily find employment for their funds, and the rates of interest are -improving, The share market is firm. We quote Bank of Bengals at 6,000 ; Agra Banks at 625 ; India General Steam., at 600 ; Ben gal Coal Company, at 725 ; New Oriental Life Insu rance, at 340 to 350. Government Securities arc a shade lower. We quote the New Five per Cents, at 109-8 to 110 ; Sicca ditto, 102 to 104. Company's and Sicca Rupee Fours at 99-12 to 99-14. Exchange with London underwent very little varia tion since the date of our last report until within the last few days, when a more plentiful supply of bills sent them up id. higher. We now quote 2-0 i credits at 2-1 documents. The rates of freight to London in dead weighl remain nearly -unaltered. We quote 3/. 17s. 6d. salt petre, and 3/. las. 6d. to V. sugar, and Q. rice to Lon don. The indigo market, until the , arrival of the mail, was inanimate, and, - the prices obtained were lower than those prevailing at any earlier period of the season. We subjoin a list cof the sales by public auction. No sales by private con tract have transpired. The news of the results of the February sales has imparted a little more liveliness to ti ie market, but prices, if anything, have only improved a, mere shade. The advance on October rates had been. anticipated and discounted here in the earlier part of: the season. 20,634 chests have been shipped up to the sth, of which 9,826 have gone to Great Britain, and r„718 to France. The planters complain loudly' of war it of rain. In Tirhoot the caterpillars have committ. ?.(1 great havoc, and the destruction of plant in that &I:strict has been large from the ravages of those insatiabb insects. It is not, however, too late to establish anotl ior crop there. On the line of the Bhauge rutty they are : u paiously waitingfor rain. Kishnaghur can do as well with late sowings as with early. Jessore may suffer most frog t the want of moisture, as the lands there are genemll low er than in Kishnaghur, and consequently more liable to in undation, while the manufacturing begins early ; but we :hope that they may yet be able to raise and secure a err op, although some parties entertain fears that it will be r eady too late in the season to brin g the whole to vat. 'The accounts from Dacca are conflicting but the latest at Ivices we have received are rather favour able, inasmuch: as they state the damage fro drought to be met only partial, but confined rat the to some particular localities look well. At go i ng to press :ttmos pheric indications of ap t iroaching rain were percep C CHINA. HONG KONG, MARCH 28. Our accounts from China extend to th( 11th of March. The insurgents were steadily adva• ncing towards, Peking, and the Emperor has appa rentl no troops capabl e o f arresting their progress. Pr y i vate letters utate that at Canton it was ge morally believed that N an ki ng had fallen. The rAn-nour was possibly premature, but the place wa known to be besieged, anti there seems little cja ak ce of tremity of China, and was for nearly two years con fined to the province of Kwangsee, a marshy and notoriously unhealthy portion of the empire. The insurgents occupied this time in extending their base, .rather • thaii by- attempting any forward progress to the northward,_ but con tinued to defeat or win over all the detach ments of Imperial troops that were incessantly dispatched against them. This state of things core. tinned so long that the European residents at Can ton got tired of crying Wolf,' and began to believe that the rebellion was nothing more than a Chinese edition of the United States' Florida war. This was the prevailing impression at Hong Kong until about nine months ago, when the insurgents issued a proclamation, stating that, having now destroyed the armies sent against them, and thereby cleared their way to the capital, they were about to make a combined advance on Peking, and they have accord ingly advanced northwards, simultaneousli, along a line several hundred miles in extent, until they are at length established on the great river Yang-tse- Kiang, which, running generally from east to west, divides China Proper into two nearly equal %itions, of which they now occupy the southerninost, with the exception of a narrow strip of seaboard: - As the course of this river is rather from the south of west, the left of the him the insurgents came in contact with it first, and at a point about 800 miles above Nanking._lii the Emperor's proclamation, of whi c h I gave an abstraCt in my last, it was mentioned that Seu had been ordered, with the main body of the Emperor's army, to advance up thiS river against the rebels' army, that was adVaneing down it. Seu met the enemy, was defeated, and retreated on Yo- Tchow, a great'city situated on the lake Tnng-ting- Hou, where it adjoins the Yang-tse-Kiang, about 553 miles above Nanking. Seu abandoned the town on the enemy's approach without fighti ng , f or which act of cowardice he was degraded ; but the repOrt that he' had committed suicide m conse quence appears incorrect. From Yo-chow the rebels advanced • 150 miles further down the river and took Han-yang, a city said to be " the commercial emporium of China. Then they advanced to Woochung, on the same river, the capital of the i province of Hoopah, and besieged t ; this town also has fallen into their hands after a short resist ance ; meanwhile the right wing of the insurgents was advancing against Nanking, which there is every reason for believing they are by this time in possession of. The left wing of the insurgents at• Woochung (the capital of Hoopah) is about 400 miles distant from their right wing at Nanking, and from the proclamations in the Peking Gazette, and the mea sures of resistance ordered, it appears evident that the rebels are expected to advance northwards on the capital by two lines leading directly from these places. Woochung is about 750 miles south of Peking, and Nanking about 700 (measured along the course of the great canal.) The Governor- General of the two Kiangs (the province bisected by the central portion of the canal) has been or dered to attack and oppose the right wing of the rebels now before Nanking, and an army is being collected at Sinyming, a town in the province of Hons,n, about 120 miles immediately north of Woochung, to attempt the recapture of the latter town and to bar the further progress of the left wing of the rebels to the northwards. On this army rest the last hopes of the present dynasty. It is said to be composed of Tartar levies from the north, better troops than the average of the Chinese army ; but the character given to these levies by the inhabitants of the province of Henan ' whom they were sent to protect is by no means favour able. Their rapacity, it is stated in a memorial to the Throne, is beyond all haunds. " To us," say the Honanese, " they are as tigers—to the rebels as rats." Seu, in his memorial deprecating the royal anger at his failure, ascribes the rebels' suc cesses to their ingenuity in spring mines, and to their great ferocity. It is said of the slaughter in the neighbourhood of Woochung that the stench from the unburied was so great that the inhabi tants °lithe city have been forced to evacuate their dwellings, and it was feared their would be a ge neral pestilence. Piracies are of daily occurrence, and the coasting trade is much interrupted. The Chinese authorities are too weak or too cowardly to put them down, One of their admirals has just been degraded for alleging bad weather as a reason for not proceeding to attack a piratical fleet in his neighbourhood. Some of these pirates, contrary to their general custom, having had the audacity to meldle with some British ships, the Hermes was sent out to give an account of them, and after a short resistancesunk two and captured three others. As yet, the most remarkable commercial result of the recent rapid progress of the rebels is a very large increase in the value of gold, as being more easily carried away and concealed than silver in such troubled times. The legaliiation of the trade in opium may possibly be attended with very seri ous results to India. It has been remarked that the financial position of the Company's Govern ment is so anomalous that to make its income meet its expenditure it is dependent on two circumstances —first, that the Chinese should persist in eating opium, and secondly, that the Emperor should prohibit the home production or importation of the drug. The Canton and Shanghai correspondents of the China merchants of Bombay appear, how ever, to doubt whether the Chinese Government will be Able to enforce at so distant a port as Can ton (2,000 miles from Peking by sea, and not much nearer by land) an edict which would curtail so considerably the perquisites of the mandarins of the coast province. The mail of the 24th of January arrived on the 11 inst., and that of the Bth of January on the 16th inst. Advices from England of the Bth of February are hourly expected. We regret to have to report several cases of death among the detachment of her Majesty's 69th Regi ment, lately arrived. The patients now in hospi tal, are gradually improving. The illness—dysen try—is supposed to have been caused by the water taken in at Timor. The garrison other _ wise has been healthy. The intelligence we communicated last mail, the 11th inst., regarding the rebellion in the north, was fully confirmed on the receipt of advices of the 3d from Shanghai on the .12th inst., and, as we - expected, her Majesty's plenipotentiary—Sir Geo. Bonham—left this for Shanghai on the 13th inst. in her Majesty's steamer Hermes, then under or ders to proceed to the Straits, but detained for this special service. It appears that application had been made by the Viceroy of Soochau to the English Consul at Shanghai to co-operate against the rebel force for the protection of Nanking. The rapid advance of the rebels had spread consterna tion and alarm through that capital and other wealthy cities and the imperial o ffi cials seemed en tirely paralysed and powerless. Our latest advices of the 20th from Shanghai, report the rebel force b investino• Nanking, - which it was expected would fall, and it is further stated that delegates had been sent from Soochau to the rebel leaders, offering a. large sum to secure that wealthy city from molesta tion and plunder. There are reports that a portion , of the rebel force had proceeded north. The native bankers and wealthy people were removing their families and treasure into the country, and goods had been sent from Soechau to Shanghai for safety. At Shanghai there was a general panic ; bankers and merchants' houses were shut up, and an entire stoppage to trade. Money was so scarce that the duties of exports had to be arranged by giving security in bills and other property to the Consul. The naval force that must now be off Shanghai is calculated to restore confidence in that vicinity ; an d if the rebels proceed north, and do not d e l ay rou nd Nanking and the neighbouring country, i n t er nal trade may be resumed sooner than the present state of affairs would lead one to expect.
