The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful Consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe. The results of the knowledge thus acquired are hero condensed under the personal supervision of Dr. La'Sfert, himself one of the few legally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short, every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care will, In every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these cases.

The following testimonial is another proof of the great effi cacy of this medicine : " 157, - Kew Bond-street, London, October 12, 1850. " Sir,—ln acquainting you with the great benefit which I have ex perienced by taking BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, I feel that I am but performing a duty to that portion of the public who may be similarly affected. " About twenty years since I was first attacked by rheumatic gout in my hands and feet. I had previously been subjected to every va riety of climate, having served in Canada in the 19th Dragoons, and in Spain, under Sir John Moore, in the 18th Hussars. I always pro cured the best medical aid, without obtaining any essential relief, and my sufferings can be appreciated only by these who know some thing of this disease. " It was during one of those paroxysm;, between twelve and thir teen years ago, that I was recommended to try BLAIR'S PILLS. I lost no time in procuring a box, and before I had taken that quantity the pain had entirely ceased, and in a few days I was in perfect health. "From that moment, whenever I feel any symptoms of the dis ease approaching, I have instant recourse to this medicine, which to me is so valuable, that were it not that the days of magic have ceased, I should certainly attribute the relief I obtain to that cause. Moreover, I rejoice to say that my health has not in any degree suf fered, but on the contrary I believe the tendency of BLAIR'S PILLS is towards its improvement. "I have recommended the Pills to many friends, and the result has always been of the most gratifying character. " I am, Sir, yours respectfully, " GARRET FOSTER GILL. " To Mr. Prout, 229, Strand." For every description of Gout and Rheumatism, Sciatica, Tle-dolo reux, &c., &c., WADI'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS are a sovereign remedy, contain neither mercury, opium, or any other dangerous drug, require no care whatever In their use, and ier ra pidity of cure and complete safety have not their equal in the world.

As usual, complaints are made of bad ar rangements, the troops were taken too far up the river before being landed, and when they did land they were close to the guns of the stockade, and suffered severely, The best account of the affair is given by the Bombay Times, which says— " Pegu was gallantly captured on the 21st ultimo, with a loss to us of five killed and 32 wounded, most of the latter severely ; the attacking force consisted of a Wing of the Bengal Fusiliers, a ditto Madras ditto, and 350 of the Madras sth Native Infantry, with two or three guns of light calibre. This force left Rangoon in the river steamers and boats of her Majesty's steamers Fox and Sphinx, on the morning of the 18th ; and on the morning of the 19th reached Pegu. On the 20th they were landed during the night, and, after a sharp fire from the stockade, carried it at the point of the bayonet. The Burmese resisted well so long as the wooden barrier existed between them and the invaders, but bolted the instant the head of the column showed inside. Old Godwin, of course, commanded, he not being inclined to allow any of his numerous divi sional and brigadier officers to reap the honours. The enemy expected we should have attacked them at the further corner of the stockade, which they had very strongly fortified, all ready to give the troops a warm reception. They had, however, fortunately for them, placed a boom, or rather posts, across the river, which compelled the steam vessels to anchor below the river. Our loss chiefly consists of men of the sth Madras Na tive Infantry, who remained at the corner of the stock ade near the landing place, .keeping up a fire on the Burmese to distract the attention of the enemy from the Europeans, who were making a rapid advance along the the face of the work, slightly sheltered from observation by the grass and shrubs ; the ditch was found to be quite impassable, being so muddy that a man sunk nearly waist deep in it. As a garrison for Pegu, 200 of the Madras Fusi liers and as many of the sth Madras Native In fantry, with some artillery, were left behind ; the remainder of the force returned to Rangoon. The enemy from Pegu fled in the direction of Toonghoo, from whence they would require to be frightened— beaten away does not apply to such miserable war fare. An unfortunate affair occurred near Procne on the 19th, in which Captain Gardner and a ser geant of the 40th Madras Native Infantry were killed and six sepoys wounded. The following account of the mishap is given in the Rangoon letter of the Calcutta Englishman of the 2d inst. : The evening before last news was brought down by a gun-boat of a disastrous affair at Akoktoung, disastrous because a small detachment of our troops there was re pulsed, being overpowered by numbers, and more espe cially disastrous, and at the same time fell Capt. Gardner of the 40th Regiment Bengal Native Infantry ; he was one of the finest officers in the service. The following account of the affair has been gathered from the report of the officer commanding the Enterprise steamer, sta tioned at Akoktoung. A detachment of th e 40th Regi ment Bengal Native Infantry, u n d er C ap t a i n G ar d ner, was attachd to the Enterprise, with instructions to visit the Akoktoung-hill once a day. On the morning of the 18th the detachment landed, and marched over the brow of the eastern part of the hill, which is separated by a creek from the western, without any molestation, and without even seeing any one, although several armed men were observed on both sides of the hill from the Enterprise, whom a shell or two served to disperse. On the morning of the 10th Captain Gardner determined to land on the other hill, and he resolved to attempt its r a o r u e n t d w e d o bwyh thick pagodas on T h t h e e pl a s l e o o p e e e le o ascent from the villag e o f T om b oo j ust a b ove . Th ere e f r h i l l a l, n dsiunrg cftetil is a plain extending from the jungle to the river. As soon as the troops approached the jungle a jingal was fired from the summit of the hill as a signal evidently, as the troops were noc within range of it. The detachment soon after entered the jungle alluded to, through which a pathway passes close to the two white pagodas on the ridge of the hill ; this road is so narrow as not to admit two abreast, is very precipitous in most places, and is skirted by thick brushwood. The men did not advance far before the Burmese opened fire on them from this jungle in which they were lying in ambuscade, and were informed of the approach of our troops by the signal gun. Captain Gardner, who was in front, was imme diately shot dead by a jingal ball in the head ; a havildar just behind him met with a similar fate. The number of Burmese in this advantageous position, whence they could see the movements of our fellows from their lurking places, without themselves being seen, seemed very considerably. The Subadar left in command of the party appears to have made a good at tempt to push his way, inasmuch as six of his men were wounded—two dangerously. They were, however, so hard pressed as to render it impossible to bring away the body of the fallen officer and of the havildar, which were in consequence left in the hands of the Burmese. There is no doubt both were killed on the spot. The sepoys retired to the river side, according to the testi mony of those who saw them, with perfect steadiness and in good order. One is at once struck with the strange impropriety of allowing so strong a place as Akoktoung, with its commanding hill, to remain ungar lrisoned, a detachment of 50 men, Europeans or natives, was surely not sufficient to prevent the enemy from re possessing themselves of this commanding high ground. Had the detachment been located on the eminence with instructions to hold their own, that would have been as much as could have been expected of them ; but to send 50 men under ono European officer to scour ground, the nature of which afforded concealment to considerable bodies of the enemy, seems unaccount ably rash. _ _ General Godwin returned to Rangoon on the 24th November, in the steamer Mahanuddy, the Ner budda remaining at Pegu. A couple of Europeans are said to have been cut off by cholera after the occupation of the city. Nothing particular has been heard from Prome, where provisions are said to be exceedingly scarce. Out of 1,400, men who garrison Martaban, 870 were in hospital ; and an equal number of sick were unfit for duty at Maulmain in the early part of November, the European com pany of artillery having only fifteen men in bar racks. The detachments posted at Dallas Passen down, and Kemmendine, had put a stop to the rob beries and murders before so common about these pl a ces, and everything was quiet. An expedition of gun-boats started from Rangoon on the night of the 24th, to scour the Dalla creeks. On the 26th Reid's battery, a portion of H.M. 51st Light In fantry, and a number of the Ramghur batallion horse, started from Prome by steam ; and General Godwin was to follow shortly after. On his arri val there, the stockade at Etheo . men was to be cap tured. Further than Prome, is believed, our force will not advance until forced. There seems to be no doubt entertained . of the annexation of the country up to that city. The subjoined are the Pegu dispatches : GENERAL ORDER BY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL OF INDIA IN COUNCIL.

Sir,—l have the honour to report, for your Excellency's information, the proceedings of the expedition to Pegu. The troops having embarked at Rangoon, on the evening of the 18th inst., on board the Hon. Company's steamers Ma hanuddy, Nerbudda, Damooda, and Lord William Ben tinck, as set forth in the accompanying memorandum, show ing the details of the whole force, dropped down the river, below the Hastings' Shoal, and waited for the moraing tide. A convoy of boats containing provisions, stores, and camp followers, escorted by the gun boats, u nder the com mand of Lieut. Mason, preceding the steamers on the after-. nom of-the 18th. Weighing at early daylight on the 19th, and taking the whole of the flood tide with them, the ves sels, led by the Lord William Bentinek, proceeded up the Pegu River, and arrived in the evening at stations a few miles below Pegu. The Lord William Bentinck, more for tunato than the rest (Mr. Digney having previously ac quired some knowledge of the river on a former Occasion), reached a point two miles below the position it was pro posed to take up ; the Damooda, Nerbudda, and Maha nuddy remaining for the night at stations lower down the river. _ The further advance of the vessels on the following day was tedious, and a matter of considerable difficulty, owing to the decreasing width and depth of the channel, and the serpentine bends of the river. By the evening the Lord William Bentinck had pushed on to a position about a quarter of a mile below the S.E. angle of the old ruined City of Pegu : the Nerbudda reached a point half a mile further down, the Damooda three quarters, and Mahanuddy a mile and three quarters below the Lord William Bentinck. After anchoring, the Major-General accompanied by some staff officers and myself, proceeded up the river to reconnoitre and make arra,ngerce its for landing on the following morning. In tho evening, and during the early part of the night, some desultory firing took place from the enemy's river stockades on the headmost steamer, which we returned by her and the boats, while picquots were thrown out from the steamers on the banks timing the Right, to prevent the accident of a night attack. The disembarkation of the troops commenced on the following morning, Sunday, 21st, at 4 a.m., each steamer landing her mon on the loft bank of the river, abreast of her own position, from whence the different columns marched along the bank to the point of conoontration abreast of the headmost steamer, the Lord William Ben tinck. At the same time the artillery, two 24-pounder howitzers, (whiai had been previously transferred from the Mahanuddy to the paddle-box boats,) were landed by the seamen under the direction of Commander Lambert. • The ancient city of Pegu is of a quadrangular form ; the ruined walls or ramparts are still clearly defined, and aro surrounded on all sides by a moat, much choked with mud and rubbish, its sides being a mile and three quarters in length, the Pagoda, which forms the key of the position, lying in the N.E. division of the space, enclosed by the ruined ramparts. The enemy, whose numbers are stated to have amounted to between three and four thousand, were strongly posted at the south-east angle of the walls, and also along the river front of their position, which was strongly stockaded. Tho enemy made no opposition to our landing, owing to our movements being concealed by the fog which prevailed in the early morning. The concentration of the troops and the arrangements for the advance were completed by about 6.30 a.m.; and at seven the advance commenced, the columns moving along the outer edge of the southernmost towards the eastward, so as to turn the flank of the ene my's position, their progress being necessarily extremely slow on account of the difficult nature of the ground, which was covered with high grass and jungle, and over which there was no regular road. The enemy immediately commenced a sharp fir, which soon caused some casualties, and as the troops advanced along the edge of the moat, they moved along the ramparts parallel to them, and main tained a constant fire. At about 9.15 the European troops who were in advance reached a point opposite to a broken opening in the rampart, where the moat seemed passable, and after a short halt to refresh the men, and form them under cover of a wood, they advanced at 9.45 a.m. in columns of attack, charged gallantly across the moat, entered the lino of the enemy's defence, and drovethe Burmese before them, the enemy retreating to wards the Pagoda. I had remained a little behind to assist the advance of the Artillery, about which the General had been anxious, and on my arrival at 10 a.m. had the satisfaction of seeing our troops in pos session of the enemy's ramparts. After refreshing the men the troops advanced at 10.45 a,m. to the left along the bund towards the line of the r i ver d e fences, for the purpose of dispersing the enemy in that quarter ; but on perceiving them in full retreat towards the Pagoda, owing to the efficient fire of shell and c an i s t er , w hich, from the commencement of the affair had been kept up on them by the Lord William Bentinck and the gun boats, the general countermarched the troops to the right again, and returned to our original position. At 12 o'clock the columns again advanced by the direct road leading towards the Pagoda, without meeting any opposition, and on arriving near it, at 0.45 p.m., the columns wore formed for the assault. On approaching it we perceived some Burmese stealthily watching our movements ; our men advanced with a rush ; the enemy fired a volley and fl e d ; we entere d th e P ago d a, and Pegu was oars. It could scarcely be expected that this service could bo performed without some loss, and I regret to say that the military force had six men killed and thirty-one wounded, including among the latter three officers. Most provi dentially none of the seamen in the boats or on board the Lord William Bentinck (which vessel alone was near enough to take part in the attack) were either killed or wounded, although continually exposed to a warm fire. It is with much gratification that I have to report to your Excellency the zeal, energy, and good conduct of the officers and seamen attached to the expedition. To Com mander Rowley Lambert, of ll.M.'s ship Fox, praise is due for the able manner in which the guns were promptly landed by the seamen under his direction, and subsequently for the efficient manner in which he directed the fire from the gun-boats, on the enemy's position, by which thdy were ultimately dislodged. Messrs. Digney, Porter, Ber wick, and Simpson, respectively commanding the honour able company's steamers, deserve great credit for the per severance and energy they displayed in pushing their vessels up the river under circumstances of most difficult navigation, as well as for their general assistance. Lieu tenants Mason and Glover, and Mr. Pocock, mate, and the subordinate officers in charge of boats acquitted themselves to my entire satisfaction. The services of Mr. J. F. John son, assistant surgeon of H.M.S. Sphynx, were extremely valuable in attending on the wounded, many of whom were sent on board the Lord William Bentinck at the com mencement of the affair.

SHADWELL TO HIS EXCELLENCY COMMODORE LAMBERT. Sir,—ln continuation of my letter No. 7, relative to the expedition to Pegu, I have the honour to inform your Ex cellency that in accordance with the wishes of the Major- General commanding the force, the troops whom it was proposed should return to Rangoon were embarked on board the Hon. Company's steamers Mahanuddy, Damooda, and Lord William Bentinck, on the evening of the 22d. The two latter vessels left for Rangoon on the morning of the 23d, and General Godwin and staff having embarked on board the Mahanuddy during the afternoon, that vessel proceeded and returned to Rangoon at noon this day. A garrison of 430 men remains at Pegu, 230 Europeans, and 200 Sepoys. The major-general at first wished the Ner biulda to remain at Pegu for a few days, but having sub sequently changed his mind, I ordered that vessel to re turn also, and desired one of the Sphinx's paddle-box boats to remain until further orders. My Bamadistan, in charge of tho yawl of her Majesty's ship Winchester, arrived at Pegu with a convoy of provision boats from Rangoon on the morning of the 23d. I hare instructed that officer to return to Rangoon with the empty boats as soon as they have been cleared.—l have, &c.,_ (Signed) CHARLES D. A. SHADWELL, Commander. Copy.—No. 16. nog MAJOR-GENERAL H. GODWIN, C. 8,. COMMANDING THE FORCES IN AVA, ARRACAN, AND THE TENASSERIM PROVINCES, TO C. ALLEN, ESQ., SECRETARY TO THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA. Foreign Department, Dated Pegu, Nov. 22, 1852. (‘ Sir,—l have the honour to state for tho information of the Governor-General in Council that Pegu was captured yesterday. In June last I was induced by strong represen tation from various sources to send a small force to drive out some Burmese from Pegu. We had had some friendly intercourse with the inhabitants of that place, who declared to me that if they wero put again in possession of their town they would be able to hold it. There was an armed party of Taliens at the time from the villages around who promised their support. The Burmese were driven out, and the people recovered possession of their town ; but, as I feared, they did not hold it a week. At this time it would have been inconvenient in many ways to have sta tioned a force there at the commencement of the monsoon. ' Since that time I have had various reports of the enemy being in great force at Pc2,-u, and that they had thrown up strong defences on the river, and from it to the Pagoda, within the site of the old city ; they became troublesome also to several villages between this and Rangoon. As the army will shortly be at Promo, with a garrison only at Rangoon, it became imperative to take possession of and garrison Pegu. I had determined upon this for some time, and the three small river steamers, with the Mahanuddy, having re turned from Prome on the 16th of November, I arranged with Commodore Lambert, that the troops should embark on Thursday evening the 18th, when 300 men of the lst Bengal Fusiliers, under Colonel Tudor • 300 of the Ist Madras Fusiliers, under Major Hill ; 400 men of the sth Madras N. 1., under -Major Shubrick ; 70 Sappers, with two 24-pounder howitzers, and 32 artillerymen, embarked by seven o'clock p.m. This force I placed under the com mand of Brigadier lif`Neil, of the Madras army. I also embarked with my own staff in the Mahanuddy, for the purpose of accompanying the expedition. Commander Shadwell, of the Royal Navy, had charge of the flotilla. This town is situated about 60 miles from Rangoon, on a fine creek called the Pegu river, which runs into the Ran goon river, just below the town of Rangoon. We started on Friday morning, the 19th, at day-break, and in consequence of the shallow water were obliged to anchor about two miles below Pegu at sunsent, on the evening of the 20th. The troops commenced disembarking at four a.m. the next morning, and were all assembled on shore by half-past six o'clock ; and when I joined the force at this hour I found it buried in high grass jungle, and the whole country enveloped in a thick fog. I was in sonic" degree aware of the position of the enemy, from a plan I had had in my possession for some time, furnished by Captain Latter, he having accompanied thei former expe dition in June, but not the particulars of it until I saw it on the ground. The site of the old city wherein the enemy was posted is formed by a square surrounded by a high bund, each side of which is presumed to be about two miles in length. Tho west side facing the river and the square is surrounded by a wet moat, between 70and 80 paces wide. From the south-west angle there is a causeway over the moat, close to, and parallel with, the river. This causeway the enemy had made exceedingly strong by tra verses, and breaking it down at various intervals to prevent our advance. On the whole of the south face of the bund, fronting our position, they had bodies of troops stationed, extending for about a mile and a quarter. As the cause way on the right of their position was so narrow that only a file of men could advance along it against their numerous musquetry and local impediments, I abandoned all idea of attacking them there. It was therefore determined to force our way along the moat and to turn the left of their posi tion on the south face of the square. Captain Latter, my interpreter, who was with me, had with him a Burmese who promised to find us a causeway leading into the bund close to the left of their position. We commenced our ad vance, the Bengal Fusiliers leading covered by the Rifle Company of the sth Madras Native Infantry, in file, and for two hours was this force struggling through:. the almost im penetrable grass and jungle along the outer edge of the moat, and exposed to a very warm fire from the enemy. We at last reached a part of tho moat which admitted of passage for the troops, and marked by the extreme left of the enemy's position, and where they had a strong post and two guns. I hero directed Colonel Tudor to form a storm ing party of 150 of his own men and 100 of the Madras Fusiliers, which the lieutenant-colonel led. At the signal given they crossed the moat through mud and water, and most gallantly stormed the enemy's post. We were now masters of their position. Our own guns were actively employed under Captai n Mallock, at the spot from which we first commenced our move, and after some time they wore brought up, over almost impassable ground, nearly to the spot where we effected our entrance into the enemy's position, and they were protected by the Grenadiers of the sth Madras Native Infantry, under Captain Wyndham. After resting the troops for some time, and collecting the wounded mon, we again advanced, by an excellent path, in the direction of the large Pagoda. Wo suffered no mo lestation from the enemy, but, on approaching the Pagoda, I formed a party for its attack, under Major Hill of the Madras Fusiliers, consisting of 100 of his own regiment, with a similar number of the Bengal Fusiliers. They ad vanced up to the steps of the Pagoda, and on ascending received a fire of musquotry, which th e y soon s il ence d , and took possession of the place at about 1 o'clock, p.m. The fatigues of the day were now over, and I am certain that while they lasted no soldier ever met with more ardu ous ones, nor ever met the obstacles of such an advance with more cheerful and steady perseverance than did this little band of brave and determined men. The enemy, by the least computation, could not number less than 5,000 men, evidently headed by people of consideration, by the ' numerous mounted people as well as elephants which were seen retiring by the road to Sitang. Our loss is not nearly what I apprehended in the morning it might have been ; and considering the difficulties of the ground and exposure to the enemy, I congratulate myself that it is, so small. I have now to ask the Governor-General in Council's con sideration of the services performed on this expedition by the officers and men engaged ; to Brigadier McNeil, who formed up Ups force in the morning as it disembarked, and whose indefatigable exertions during the day brought on an exhaustion which occasioned me much distress to witness and which deprived me of his valuable assistance for a short time'; to Lieutenant-Colonel Tudor, of the Bengal Fusi liers, who led the storming party and carried the enemy's position ; to Major Hill, of the Madras Fusiliers, who led the party which carried the pagoda ; to Major Shubrick, of the sth Madras Native Infantry, whose position in the Bentinck which was considerably in advance of the rest of the flotilla, called forth his greatest vigilance to protect his people from the enemy who were around him, as also for his exertions during the day ; to Captain Mallock, for his exertions with the guns ; to Captain Brown, who com manded the Rifle Company of the sth Madras Native In fantry, who covered our advance, and whose conduct I witnessed with much pleasure during the day. I feel most particularly indebted to the attention and devotion paid to the sick and wounded by the medical officers who accom panied the force. The brigadier has brought to my notice Captain Renaud, his brigade-Major, whose services he highly appreciates. To Captain Latter, whose distin guished gallantry on this as on all occasions has been con spicuous, as also to his local information and active assist ance, I beg to call your lordship's particular attention. To Commander Shadwell, who had charge of the naval part of this expedition, I am deeply indebted for the most unre mitting exertions by night and day, and for the disembar kation of the troops, which was conducted as quietly as ex peditiously. Neither the steamers nor the boats could get up to the enemy's defences, owing to the shallowness of the river. Captain Shadwell personally accompanied me throughout the day. Will your lordship permit me to in troduce to your notice Commander B. Seymour, of the royal navy, who is here on a visit to many friends, who accom panied me during the day, and whose conduct was conspicu ous on every occasion. To Major Mayhew, Deputy-Adjutant General, Major Boulderson, Deputy Judge Advocate Ge neral, Captain Hamilton, Deputy Assistant Adjutant General, Captain Da,rroch,Deputy Assistant Quartermaster General, Captain Burne, Military Secretary, and Captain Chads, Aide-de-Camp, the General and my personal staff, whose duties were most arduous, being carried on on foot, and whose exertions to keep up the communication with the force in this broken ground were incessant, I beg to call your lordship's attention. I leave a garrison of 400 men, 200 of the Madras Fusi liers, and 200 of the sth Madras Native Infantry with two 24-pounder howitzers and a detail of Artillery with 10 Sappers, which the upper terrace of the Pagoda will hold most commodiously, including the magazines and stores. This party will bo under the command of Major Hill, of the Madras Fusiliers, a most excellent officer. Lieutenant Campbell, of the Bengal Engineers, will see its necessary defences. Eight guns were taken, and it is supposed that more will be found. I purpose leaving this for Rangoon to-morrow. Enclosing a list of casualties, I have the hon our to be, &c., (Signed) H.

The Minister of that Prince con tinues to raise money by letting a certain tract of country to one renter, and receiving a large sum by way of closing the bargain, and then letting the same land to a second or third, and perhaps even a fourth bidder. The first party who takes posses sion of the villages —many of which contain small forts, which could s t an d a cons id erable siege —or tract of country, soon find other arrivals who dis pute his claims. A fight then ensues, and the strongest party carry the day. The flight of the Khagur chief has led to the occupation of his fort by the irregular troops under Major Abbott and Lieutenant Pearce. Major Mackeson continued in the valley for some time settling matters, and on the 19th Nov. the runaway chief delivered himself up to him.

The European recruits left by steamer for Mooltan on the 24th, and the wing of the 2nd Grenadiers for Sukkur on the 26th. The Seinele News office had been seized on by the military authorities, and the publication of the paper sus pended. Why or wherefore is not stated. In Bengal and the north-west provinces there is little or no news. The parties who recently de frauded the Bank of Bengal, by means of forged cheques, have been discovered—they are, or were, employes in the establishment, as was suspected from the first ; one of them has turned Queen's evidence, although informed he would gain nothing thereby. The Marquis of Dalhousie proceeds shortly after New Year's-day on a tour through the eastern provinces, and will be accompanied, among others, by Mr. C. Beadon. The Darya-i-Noor dia mond, said to be a far purer gem than the cele brated Koh-i-Noor was sold at Calcutta on the 29th of Novemb er for i 5,9001. It formerly belonged to the father of the present Prime Minister at Hy derabad, who obtained it from the Mahratta princes for 13,0001.: how it got into the possession of the late Runjeet Singh is not stated. A great number of articles of value were also being disposed of by Government ; amongst others the emerald armlets of Nadir Shah and the state dress of Shere Singh. Generally speaking, on the north-west frontier all is quiet, and seems likely to remain so. Between the 3d and Bth of this month there was a very con siderable fall of rain all across India, from the Madras coast on the east to Bombay on the west. This is a most rare occurrance at this season of the year. The present season is, for Bombay, unusu ally cool and plea,sant.- The Governor-General, and the Governors .of Madras and Bombay, are at the seats of their re spective governments. Lord Falkland, the Gover nor of Bombay, returned to the presidency on Ist instant, after an absence of nearly eight months in the Deccan and 'Lord hill s . Th e Com mander-in-Chief, Lord Frederick Fitzclarence, is at Poonah, inspectin g th e t roops a t th at large sta tion. From Poonah he intends to push on to Ahmednuggur, and thence to Doohlia, in Candeish, and the disturbed districts. He has seen more of the Poonah army during the month he has held command than most of his predecessors have dur ing their five years tour on the staff as Com manders-in-Chief. Sir William 'Gomm is still in the Himalayas, where he is amusing himself with trips into the interior. COMMERCIAL. TUE CALCUTTA MARKET, DEC. 7, 1852.-- The Bombay express, with London advices to the 25th of October last, arrived on the evening of the Ist, followed by the Oriental steamer, with the mail, on the sth instant. The commercial intelligenc3 is again satisfactory, al though the indigo sale did not terminate with thatbuoyancy which its commencement led many here to anticipate. In our export market sugar is scarce, and must be so until the produce of the new crop begins to arrive. The stock in the bazaar does not exceed 3,000 bags, and prices have got up 4 to G annas per maund. The demand for saltpetre 'has been checked by the rise in freights, and prices have given way about 4 to 5 annas per maund. The grain market is moderately supplied, while' the demand for rice has been increased ; prices have consequently advanced 4 to 6 annas from the lowest point. A better disposition prevails to operate in raw silk, but the supplies are still very limited, and holders ask prices which shippers generally are un will ing to submit to. Corals would be taken at the lower rates established lately, but holders have increased their pretensions, and business in these goods has been conse quently checked. A good demand continues to prebail for lac dye and shell lac : D. T. has realised 72-S, and J. E; 61-0. D. C. shell lac has sold at 13-0 per maund. The inquiry for hides for the British market has not been so active, but shipments are freely in progress to the United States. An active demand prevails for jute at better prices. Americans have increased their trans actions in linseed, but less has been done in that article for the British market. Rape-seed has slightly declined in value. We quote linseed at 2-10 to 2-12, and rape seed at 2-2 to 2-3 ; supplies of the former are moderate, and of the latter are small. Our import market has continued in a promising posi tion, although the advance in the value of cotton piece goods and mule twist has checked the activity of the dealers ; holders are, howev er , fi rm an d con fid ent. Th e demand from the Upper Provinces has not revived. Grey and white shirtings, white figured shirtings, 6.4 th cambrics, madapollams, 39 to 42 inch grey jaconets, lappets and woollens, have all advanced a little in value. Twills, book muslins, mulls-mulls, and prints and chintzes remain without improvement. A shade of advance has occurred in some kinds of Turkey red goods. Mule twist has been in excellent inquiry, with a further ad vance of from 1 to 3 pies per morah on many counts. A fair business has been done in both German and British Turkey red yarns at full previous prices. In metals, copper has improved little in value, consequent on a de mand from the docks, and for the supply of Lower Ben gal. Iron remains steady with firm holders. The de mand for spelter has slackened, but previous quotations are supported. Lead continues in a good position, with improved prices. The supplies of European salt have lately been limited, and full prices are maintained. Exchange has been firm at our lasi quotation, with a tendency upwards. We may now quote 2-01 to 2-1 for first class credits and documents. We have no change to note in the position of our money market, which continues gluted. The parties (natives) concerned in the forgery on the Bank of Bengal have been arrested, and nearly all the money has been recovered. Government securities maintain their value, but the active demand which lately prevailed has sub sided. The share market remains firm, with an upward • tendency in prices. Freights have improved. We now quote 3/. salt petre, 3/. 10s. sugar, and 4/. rice to London. - CHINA. There is very little news from China by this mail. An ordinance for the better regulation of seamen had been passed by the local authorities. A dispute had arisen at Whampoa, the port of Canton, between th e B r iti s h and American Vice- Consuls, and the latter had brought the matter be fore the the Supreme Court of Hong Kong. The troops are reported in good health. A regatta and cricket match are the local events of the month. Coolie emigration from Amoy was going on briskly. CANTON MARKET REPORT. During the past month the business done in imports has been contracted, and rates obtainable for goods differ but little from those quoted in our last report. It is said that accounts from the disturbed districts have of late been more favourable, but this has not sufficed to give any animation to the market, dealers still dreading to embarrass themselves with any large stocks. There has, however, been a brisk demand for cotton during the past few days, considerable quantities having been sold both for consumption and on speculation, the very low prices attracting the attention of dealers. Shipments from India in the face of the very bad accounts which have lately gone forward are likely to be limited, and if so, an improvement in the prices of this staple import may be looked for. TEA REPORT, CANTON, NOV. 23, 1852.—Though the arrivals of Con gous during the past fortnight have been more extensive, yet there is still a deficiency of 165 chops as compared with the amount at market at same time last year. The export to date amount to 36,000,0001b5. against 40,600,0001b5. last year. This shortcoming in the ex port is expected to continue. 7 Black Teas. Congous Settlements this month amount to 40 chops at former rates.

The quotations for flour, at Messrs. Alison and Knight's mill s , were—fine, 471. ; seconds, 431. The latest quotation a t G ee l ong was 50/. for fine, some sales having been effected at 551. • The price of gold was 695. The gold received in Melbourne, by escorts, during the wee k en di ng th e 30th October, amounted to 65,605 ounces. No fuller information had been received from the Ovens, and the news from the other diggings pos sessed no particular interest. A large amount of specie had been received by the late arrivals from England. • In the election for North Bourke 'to fill the va cancy in the Legislative Council caused by the death of Mr. bight, Mr. William Nicholson, late mayor of Melbourne, was returned. Th e num b ers polled were—for Alderman Nicholson, 313 ; for Alderman Hodgson, 265. (Front the Argus, Nov. 12.) Mourn ALEXANDER ESCORT.—The Government escort from Mount Alexander arrived yesterday, with 21,835 oz. 5 dwts. of gold. BALiARAT ESCORT.—The exact quantityof gold di eight by this escort on Weclneoltiy was 13,v75 ounces ; 12,'713 ounces of which were left at Gee long, and the remaining 5,361 ounces brought into Melbourne. The intelligence contained in these advices is highly satisfactory, and the yield of gold at the Melbourne diggings was still immense. It was expected that the Roxburgh Castle would take in about 50,000 ounces more. That vessel would consequently take home the largest cargo of gold yet shipped from Victoria. • The Great Britain steamer reached Port Philip on the 12th of November, having left the Cape on the 17th of October. The last part of her passage was performed with great speed, and it is highly creditable to all concerned that out of the large number of passengers only one died on the passage. The Sydney steamer had also arrived at Port Philip after a long passage out. The price of flour at Melbourne was 471. per ton for fine, and 431. for seconds ; wheat 12s. per bushel. The price of gold was 3/. 9s. an ounce at Mel bourne, and was not expected to rise-above that quotation. If an export duty was imposed, it would fall in proportion to the amount of the duty. The amount of specie received in Melbourne dur ing the first fortnight of November, was over 350,0001., and the number of persons who ar rived 4,359- The labour market was easier, owing to the great amount of immigration, and servants were more readily obtained. The Sydney papers describe the position of that colony an extremely satisfactory. The harvest was expected to be very productive, and the farmers had contrived to sow wheat in such quantities that the yield would prove at least equal to that of femur years. The prices of flour and wheat at Sydney were still high. The Sydney diggings were yielding well, and a fair amount o f gold had been brought down to Sydney during the month of October. The price of labour being less in that colony, attention was being turned to quartz mining and to combined,, action in the production of gold. Several departures of ships with gold had taken place from Sydney ; the last being the Alert, with' 43,000 ounces, on the Ist of November ; and the Bloomer, with 10,000 ounces on the 3d. The following vessels arrived from England in Port Jackson from the Ist of October to the 7th November :—Bauk of England, Bth Oct. ; Kate, 10th Oct. ; Irene, 16th ; Marian, 23rd ; Florida, 25th ; Lydia, 25th ; Frances Walker, 26th. In South Australia the state of affairs was highly satisfactory. The Echunga diggings were yielding steadily, but not in such quantities as to disturb social relations. Burra Burra shares were last quoted at 1651. Gold has also been discovered, though not in con siderable quantities, in New Zealand. AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE CANADA. • LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY EVENING. The Royal Mail steam-ship Canada, Captain Lang, has just arrived in the Mersey, from Boston and Halifax. She left the former port on the sth, and the latter on the 7th instant, bringing the mails from the United States, Canada, the Lower Pro vinces, Newfoundland, and Bermuda. She also brought 70 passengers, but no specie. The United States Mail steam-ship Pacific, Cap tain Nye, with the mails from hence of the 15th ult., arrived out at New York on the Ist inst.; and on the same day the Royal Mail steam-ship Asia, which left this port on the 18th ult., carrying the news of the decision of the House of Commons on the previous night, upon Mr. Disraeli's budget, ar rived out at Halifax. The Asia ran short of coals. On the 3d inst. the United States steam-ship Washington arrived at Boston. The defeat of the Derby Ministry produced great sensation immediately on the news becoming known, and the European Times, the only paper contain ing a telegraphic report of the debate, was eagerly perused on the landing of the mails. The vessels reported by the' last steamer (Uncle Sam) as beine• on their way from California, had arrived at New York, with gold dust to the value of three and a-third millions of dollars. The Nicaraguan Minister Signor Maroleta, had been dismissed from Washington by the American Government. • The French Count Boulbon had capitulated to the Mexican Government, and the expedition was declared to be at an end. General Cass's resolution, for an inquiry into the circumstances of the British colony, the Bay of islands, had been adopted in the United States Senate. Mr. Mason's resolution, calling for the corres pondence on the subject of the proposed tripartite treaty of England, France, and the United States, guaranteeing the integrity of the sovereignty over Cuba to Spain, was under debate when the Canada sailed, and it was generally expected would be adopted. The fishery question was said to be settled, and the treaty, giving reciprocal trade between the United States and the Provinces of Canada, was drawn up, and had been approved by the Ministers i When n N t e h w e aour lef tt h l , 3%,., ost otheron, e t h l f s t e u i t t e i c o s f ot b both of the Unitad St a t es an d Great 1->ritain. - ness the Union was very firm, altlioe e'es ey was rather tight and stocks quiet, but prices firm.
