A NEW GRAVING DOCK AT SOUTHAMPTON. -On Thursday the foundation-stone of a new graving dock was laid in this port by A. Giles, Esq., engineer to the Southampton Dock Company. The length of the dock will be 400 feet ; and the width of the gates, 80 feet ; thereby rendering to Southampton facilities for vessels of the largest construction. Messrs. Baker and Sons, the contractors, have engaged to complete their under taking by the Ist March in the coming year. It had been in contemplation to add to the already existing ad vantages of the town a tidal basin, in size equal in pro portion to the above-mentioned graving dock ; but as the immense capital required for the undertaking could not be raised, the project has, for a short time, been deferred. The site for the building of the new dock has, however, been laid down, and there is very little reason to pre sume otherwise than ere long the works will be proceeded with. A GIGANTIC LOCOMOTIVE.—The Emancipation Beige says : --" The first trial of a locomotive, constructed at Seraing, to work over the steep inclines of the railway from Vienna to Trieste, has just taken place on the in clined plane of Liege. This gigantic machine, which weighs not less than 60,000 kilos., and which has ten wheels, went up the incline just m en ti one d w i t h t h e greatest facility, having a great n um b er o f waggons sttacheil to it. The trial was perfectly successful." Major-General Napier is very unwell, and unable to mtinue his inspection of the troops in Scotland tlits week, We have received by express, in anticipation of the Overland Mail, files of papers from Bombay to the 12th of September, and Hong Kong to the 24th of August. The accounts from Burmah are most unsatisfac tory—the famine, though abating, is still v er y severely felt ; the troops are sickly and disgusted, and the country everywhere out of sight of our posts is literally possessed by large bands of robbers, who, there is too much reason to believe, are insti gated by the Government of Ava, with the object of laying waste our new territory, and compelling its inhabitants to emigrate into Burmah Proper. As nearly all the intelligence we receive from Burmah consists of letters from the military officers quartered there; some allowance must of course be made for the colouring which it naturally acquires from the circumstances in which the writers are placed. Troops occupying a newly-acquired terri tory within the tropics are always at first extremely unhealthy and uncomfortable ; such was the case when Scinde was first occupied by our troops, and the same thing is happening over again in Burmah. The most healthy sites for barracks have not yet been discovered, officers and men are badly housed and ill-fed, and the exposure and hardships they have undergone begin to tell when once the stimu lus of active service is withdrawn. They are separated from their families, harassed, perhaps, by a guerilla warfare, and deprived of many comforts which, though they might be considered luxuries in England, are here almost the necessaries of life to a European. Yet, after making all possible allowances for the animus of our military corre spondents in Burmah, it must be admitted that the state of the country is as unsatisfactory as well can - be. The Rangoon correspondent of the Hurkaru writes as follows : "The entire country actually swarms with hordes of dacoits, who stop at no atrocity or cruelty in carrying on their trade. Their hands are against every man, and they scruple little about accompanying their outrages with murder ; in fact, I think their taste lies that way. The country is now in amost deplorable state, and insurrections and troubles may be looked for in plenty for an incalculable time to come, fomented and aided, possibly, by Ava influ ence and support. An officer at Shew-a-tong writes to the same paper, that the officers are sickened with ennui, and the `hope deferred' of getting out of this terrible place ; and the men, poor fellows, take to drinking, in the h o p e o f drowning their despondency, and sink into disease. It is a dreadful position altogether, and, so far from any prospect of improvement, matters are daily growing worse and worse ; the means of civilised life are decreas ing or disappearing altogether, and there is nothing left for the province but to starve or turn dacoits. They are here actually dying of hunger at our doors, although the officers of the 80th have, with true British feeling, a daily meal cooked out of their scanty resources for about 200 Burmese." The two following extracts are from the Eng lishman's correspondence IRRAWADDY, AUG. 17.—'Tis true we have peace in a way, but the question is, how long will it last ? An Armenian, who has just returned from Ava, in forms me that the people there are organising a very large army, and intend attacking us as soon as the rains are over. Sir John Cheape had received the same information, and puts some faith in it, for a vessel was sent down to a place called Shonedoung, eight miles below Prome, to bring up the 18th Royal Irish, so as to be prepared in case of an attack. The river is in a dreadful state ; no boat can move without being at tacked by dacoits. A very large town, called Kaing gaing. was attacked the other day, and the consequence was, they were obliged to send down four companies of the 67th Regiment of Native Infantry to protect the place. "By the by, Meatoon has been to Ava, and was re ceived, we are told, very graciously. He has left the capital with about 4,000 men and lots of money to make an attack on us. We only pray that we may be more fortunate than at Donabew, where we last crossed swords with him. " RANGOON, AUG. 25.—50 the peace of Burmah, so lately and so loudly proclaimed, has been already on the eve of a rupture, and Prome has been kept on the qui vive by an expected invasion of the Burmese. It seems that our old enemy Meatoon is back in his former quarters, and in connexion with other chiefs has actually been organising a force to fall, in the first place, upon those who have sent in their allegiance to the British Government, while from Ava a large body of Bur mese soldiers were to make a simultaneous attack on the different British posts. Immediately this came to the knowledge of Captain Latter, he wished to obtain a flying column, and surprise Meatoon before he could expect, or be prepared for his appearance ; but Captain Phayre opposed the plan, and set his face against any expedi tion, unless Sir John Cheape could spare troops to gar. risen the place, on its falling into the hands of the British. 'We believe the general declined to divide his troops further, and for the present the raid h as b een abandoned, though Meatoon is closely watched. The general opinion seems to be, that the expedition would have proved fruitless, and, as Captain Latter was to have taken with him the whole of the elephants, a re verse would possibly have left the General without the power of moving from Prome, in the event of any , urgency calling for his services in other quarters. How ever, the General deemed it necessary to strengthen Prome, and orders were immediately dispatched to Shoendoung, recalling her Majesty's 13th, which em barked at once on board a steamer dispatched for that purpose, the flat being left behind to bring up the hos pital and military stores." It is stated in the Hurkaru that the robber chief stockaded near Promo, and whom it w as p ropose d to dislodge, is not Meatoon, but another of the same class. The following is the Friend of India's account of the present state of our new provinces, and it must be remembered that this paper has all along taken a more favourable view than any other of the value of the acquisition of Pegu, which it de scribes as a province twice as large as Holland, and much more fertile than Bengal. The distress has, however, been most severe, and particularly in our own provinces. In some districts the entire popu lation has been living for weeks upon the roots found in the jungles, and the loss of life, though it may have been exaggerated by native rumour, has still been considerable. The early harvest, however, commences about the beginning of Octo ber, and the sufferings of the lowest class will then be at an end. One great source of distress remains almost unabated. From Hemzada to Meaday the coun try swarms with dacoits. The whole predatory population of Burmah Proper appears to have emptied itself into our territories, and it is as serted that the leaders are working upon a regular system dictated from Ava. Their plan is to lay waste the country, and harass the population until they cross the boundary, and leave Northern Pegu an uninhabited and im pervious jungle. It is said, in proof of this statement, that there are no gangs above Meaday, and that the inhabitants of Northern Burmah enjoy perfect security from their depredations. The fact, even if correct, is of little importance. Whether the dacoits are favoured by the Court, or are act ing on their own responsibility, they are equally the enemies of society. They must be exterminated, and this fact furnishes the best excuse for the seve rity with which they are at present hunted down. The belief that no solid peace can be obtained with the Burmese except under the walls of Ava is again rgaining ground, but, if another campaign should prove inevitable, it is to be hoped that Gene ral Godwin will not be again placed at the head of the army of Burmah. Sir John Cheape is spoken of as belonging to the same school as General God win ; but General Steele has the character of being , a very able general, and one who thoroughly under stands the importance of go-ahead tactics when dealing with an Asiatic enemy. The prevailing topic at Bombay during the last fortnight has been the disgraceful and increasing inefficiency of our postal arrangements with Europe. The case is briefly as follows :—The English mails are conveyed from Suez to the other presidencies of Calcutta and Madras at a certain specified speed by the Peninsular and Oriental Company, in conside ration of an annual payment from the Imperial Treasury amounting to 6s. 2d. for each mile tra versed. The East India Company prevented the conveyance of the Suez and Bombay mails being included in the same contract, with the object of retaining that line in their own hands, in order that the payment made by th e Imperial' Treasury for the performance of the mail duties might help to defray the expenses of the Indian navy. In his evidence before a select committee of the House of Commons in 1851, Mr. Melvill, the secre tary to the Court of Directors, admitted that in re taining the Bombay line in their own hands the East India Company were bound to do the work as cheaply and as efficiently as it could be done by other parties ; yet, not withstanding this admission of Mr. Melvill, the work is not done one half so or so efficiently by the Indi an navy as it is by the Peninsular a n d Oriental Com pany. cheaply performed First, as regarding cheapness, the Imperial Trea sury pay annually to the East India Company 50,0001. for the conveyance of the direct monthly mail between Bombay and Suez ; the distance an nually traversed in this service is 71,000 miles, and the rate is consequently 14s. per mile, or more than double the contract rata ofd. thA Peninsular and Oriental Company, which only amounts to Gs. 2d. a mile. There is no regular semi-monthly mail from Bombay to Suez, but, for their own conveni ence, the Indian Government usually find it neces sary to dispatch one of their own steamers or sail ing vessels, and sometim es a co lli er or na ti ve pil grim-ship, to meet the Madras and Calcutta semi monthly half-way at Aden. It will be remembered that a native craft engaged nit. this purpose found ered, with all the Bombay mails and nearly 200 passengers on board her, about 6 weeks ago. The accommodation afforded by the East India Company's steamers to passengers is very dear, very limited, and of the most inferior description ; the charge per 100 miies for a first-class passenger is much greater than that of the Peninsular and Oriental Company, and I speak from personal ex perience, and without the slightest exaggeration, in stating that the accommodation afforded to a first-class passenger on board the East India Com pany's steamer is as inferior 4o that of the Penin sular and Oriental Company as the interior of a third-class railway carriage is to that of a first class ; and I am sure that all who have ever passed from the dingy cribs of an Indian navy steamer to the splendid saloons and comfortable cabins of the great floating hotels of the latter company will not consider the comparison at all overdrawn. When Lord Dalhousie came out to India the Moozuffer, the largest and best of the East India Company's steamers, was sent , to Suez to meet him; but the accommodation was so inferior that his lordship made a formal complaint to the Bombay Government on the subject, stating, among other little matters, that the vessel was not furnished with sheets and bedding, and ; that he should have been obliged to go without either had not the Pen insular and Oriental. Company's agent at Suez kindly, lent him Borne: The accommodation is so limited that there are seldom cabins enough for more than half of the first-class passengers, and the remainder have to sleep on deck. In our last dispatch we believe we alluded to the Governor-General's minute to the Court of Direc tors in reference to the construction of railways in India. It is now known to be a most comprehen sive recommendation, and before many years it is to be hoped we shall have the Great Dalhousie Trunk line from Calcutta to Peshawur. Lord Dal housie is at the present moment engaged in having estimates drawn up for bringing the Hooghly at Calcutta. The river here is twice as broad as the Thames at Hungerford-bridge ; but here the great engineering difficulty would be the foundations. How this obstacle would be surmounted it remains to be seen. The nature of tie subsoil in Calcutta is so much of the quicksand character that it would not carry the piers of a bridge. A false foundation would have to be constructed, and it now remains to be seen whether it is possible. Should it prove so, there is every probability that the Governor- General will advise the Court of Directors to carry out the work. If it should be undertaken, it will be a great monument to the Dalhousie administra tion. Trade in Calcutta has been a little affected by the uncertainties of the Russian affair, but nothing material. No one here at all anticipates war, but long before this reaches you we have no doubt peace will be secured. We have lately lost the oldest European inhabi tant in India, Mr. Blaquiere, who was formerly in terpreter of the Supreme Court, and afterwards made a Calcutta magistrate. In his early days he was intimate with Sir William Jones, and remem bered Warren Hastings and Sir Philip Francis. He has died without leaving papers or records of any value. His knowledge of Calcutta, had it been committed to paper, would have been invalu able. General Godwin has taken his departure for Urn ballah. He was feasted by all the members of council, and other grandees in Calcutta. At the farewell dinner given to him at Rangoon, and in his final order to the army on surrendering his command, he showed plainly enough that the attacks which hare been made upon him by the press were most unmerited. General Godwin, it is now well known, was ready and anxious to advance to Ava, and had prepared the,,commissariat, and thrown pontoons across the streams above Prome with the intention of doing so ; butimmedia.tely on this becoming known to the Goittinor-General he was stopped in the most peremptory manner. GENERAL SUMMARY. (From the Overland Bombay Times of Sept. 12.) Since the date of our last summary (August 30) nothing very important has occurre d. W e are i n receipt of intelligence from Burmah up to the 17th ult.,- and are happy to state that the distress of the peasantry consequent on the scarcity of provisions had been considerably alleviated by the large quan tities of rice imported to Rangoon by Government and by the British merchants of Bengal. Not withstanding the state of starvation the poor Bur mese were in, the Mahomedan and Hindoo traders at Rangoon endeavoured to keep up the price of provisions by combination ; but they were obliged to abandon the attempt, as they were undersold by the British merchants. Some fears are entertained that the Burmese are about again to prove trou blesome. It has been reported to Sir John Cheape that the Court at Ava have organised a large force to attack us after the rains, and he has ordered the 18th Royal Irish from Sheonedouna to Prome in consequence. It is also said that Meah Toon, the' great Dacoit chief, who at ono time gave us trouble at Donabow, is about again to pay us a visit, and that by a supply of money received from Ava, whither he had gone to pay his devoirs to the monarch, he has succeeded in levying a force of 4,000 men. The entire portion of the country we possess is a prey to Dacoits, the robber tribes of Burmah Proper having entered it en masse. We regret to announce the wreck in the Burmese waters of the barque Isabella, bound from Akyab to Falmouth, and the loss of her chief mate and one seamen, who perished on their way to Amherst for a pilot, the boat in which they were embarked having capsized in a gale of wind. The barque had sprung a leak, and she has since been sold, together with her cargo (rice), for 2,600 rupees. Recent ac counts from Cawnpoor and Benares announce that the cholera, which proved so fatal during last month, had almost entirely disappeared. We learn from the North-west that Shah Jan Khan, the son of Dost Mahomed, is at war with the Ghilzaies, at Mookur. The two envoys, Allah Dad Khan and Mir Dad Khan, lately dispatched to the Shah of Persia, have proceeded to Caboul: The result of their negotiations have not transpire A very beautiful comet has been observe at Lahore, and in various parts of India. It is visible in the Punjaub 10 to 12 deg. above the horizon to W.N.W., but owing to the extreme cloudiness of the weather, it cannot be discerned in these parts. The latest accounts from Bhawulpoor represent the anarchy and confusion in the country as worse than ever. The Nabob is more than a drunkard, and stops short at nothing necessary to accomplish his purposes; the honour of no female is safe in his dominions, and it is very likely that before long a revolution will take place. In the language of the Delhi Gazette, " no one can doubt that the territory is already ripe for annexation,' but so long as it is not completely rotten, John Company will, we sup pose, forbear. The Marquis of Dalhousie is still at Calcutta. His lordship's intended visit to Pegu has been post poned until the cold weather. Though-the visit will be of an official character, a trip to sea has been strongly recommended to Lord Dalhouse. Our own Governor and Commander-in-Chief are still in the Deccan. The report of the nomination to the residency at Hyderabad (Nizam's dominions) of Mr. G. A. Bushby seems to be generally believed ; it seems strange that in the present state of the affairs of that country, a civilian should be selected for this appointment. The nomination of Col. Outram or Major Malcolm would have been more judicious ; all things considered, it appears to us that the country is rapidly approaching a crisis in which the knowledge of military as well as civil duties would not be found detrimental to its resident. One of the brothers of the Nizam had waited on Col. Low to represent to him the poverty of his (the Nizam's) family, and the ill-usage they received at the hands of their Government, by not having their allow ances regularly paid. It is said that the resident referred the matter t) the Governor-General, who has ordered him to solicit the Nizam to make over to us a portion of territory, so that we may pay his brethren out of our t reasury , b u t no f ai th is to be reposed in such a report, as it is unlikely that the Governor-General should interfere in the matter to the extent he is represented to have done. We are glad to say that our anticipations of a scanty supply of water during the ensuing dry sea son will not be realised. For the past ten days it has been constantly raining, and the supply of wa ter in our tanks at present leaves n) room for fear. The total quantity of rain already fallen amounts to about 70 inches, which is within seven inches of a fair average, estimating from the falls experienced DEATHS. Lieut. C. W.

HONG-KONG, AUGUST 23.—At the date of the dispatch of the last steamer, we were in a per plexity anent the rebels and rebellion, owing to the non-arrival of the usual steamer from Shanghai, which vessel reached here on the 13th inst. with late advices from the northward. So far as the progress of the Nankin insurgents are concerned, the late arrival adds little to our inf orma ti on , an d the best inform e d parties at Shanghai write, that no reliable information had ,reached' that city be yond the fact that considerable bodies of the in surgents had quitted Nankin ; their movements were matter , of mere conjecture, but it was undis puted that they were in high spirits, in full pos session of Nankin, and had strongly fortified that position. It is certain, however, that the main army of the insurgents has advanced northwards towards Pekin, and the imperial Gazette admits that it has defeated the Tartar troops from Man chooria which were encountered 4 short di s t ance from Nankin: It was very generally rumoured that the insurgents would not be able to meet the northern Tartars, but there appears to be little doubt that they have defeated them, and advanced so rapidly northward that the accounts are vague. It is rumoured, and very generally believed, that Pekin has been taken. The accounts received on this subject are not only vague but conflicting. Some letters received from Shanghai state - that ac counts had reached from Pekin of the arrival at that place, so long ago as the 13th June, o f th e first division of the ,Mongolian or Northern Tartar army, and that the grand struggle for the mastery of Pekin had not commenced. Another fortnight will probably place the matter beyond all doubt. If Pekin had not fallen at the date of the last re ceived advices there can scarcely be a doubt enter tained that the meeting of the insurgent and Mon golian forces near Pekin will determine the fate of this vast empire, by either the repulse and de struction of the insurgents, or their triumph over the imperial army. As far as we are correctly informed, it is certain that the insurgents have not lost ground ; on the contrary, they are acquiring constant accesions, and town after town submits to the sway of the rival dynasty. Since the. date of my l as t l e tt er re li a bl e information had reached Shanghai of the fall of Kai-foong and Foong-yang, the former being the capital of the Honan province, and the latter the capital of the Ganwhy province. It is stated that they possess undisputed sway over the country near the Poyang Lake,-in Kiangsi, and thus comman d the control over the whole tea districts. It is not expected, however, that any interruption will be offered to the cultivation or exportation of teas. From Amoy, late but very unsatisfactory ac counts have been received, and there appears to be little hope entertained of any change for the better or the re-estal)lishnient of trade. The rebels still remain in possession of the island, and keep up fre quent skirmishes with the Imperial forces ; but these latter do, not evince any disposition to deter mine hostilities by hard fighting. In the mean time the rebels receive daily accessions to their numbers by square-rigged vessels and junks from Singapore and Penang, with supplies of money and immunition, and thus threaten a very protracted and desultory warfare. Canton remains quiet, but there are indications of uneasiness, and the greatest precauti ons are taken by the andarins to prevent surprise ; but, should Pekin fall, it will no doubt be a signal for an immediate rise and outbreak, which must put a stop to trade for some time. The Emperor, it is said, has called upon the Mongol Princes to assist him, and they have promised troops to meet the rebels. At Foochow all was pretty quiet on the 4th inst., owing to the stringent measures adopted by the authorities. As we had expected, Admiral Pellew left the harbour on the 9th insit. in search of the pirates on the west coast, who, no doubt, had warning of his movements. He took and destroyed 12 boats, with about 50 guns, and released six trading junks. The main body of the piratical fleet had dispersed into their fastnesses, and the squadron returned to the harbour on the 17th. We hear the pirates have,again appeared, and a division of 15 junks is on the east coast. We have had this month unusual and disastrous floods at Canton. Great injury has been done to the paddy fields and rice in store. Prices have advanced considerably, and in some districts the public granaries had been thrown open. Imports remain very depressed both at Canton and Shanghai. At the latter place barter transactions are reported of BPb. cloths, at $1 10c. At Can ton a large native establishment in the cotton yarn trade has just failed. The transactions in exports have been large, and at advancing rates. The export of tea shows an increase on last year to the same time of about 4,000,0001 b., all from Can ton. The shipments of silk from Shanghai amount to about 8,000 bales, against 10,400 bales last year. Exchange has advanced. Six months' bill on London here are quoted ss. 9id. ; at Shanghai, 7s. 2d. Money continues excessively scarce, and the steamer just in brought on only a small amount of bullion. The Americans have requested Commod ore Perry to have a vessel stationed at Canton or Whampoa. Her Majesty's ship Spartan has proceeded to Shanghai, and is to call at Amoy. The health of the troops continues satisfactory. In harbour, her Majesty's ship Winchester, the steamer Styx, the brig Rapid, the United States' sloop Vandalia. At Whampoa, her Majesty's brig Lily, the United States steamer Mississippi. At Macao, the United States' steamer Susqueliannah, the French frigate Capricieuse, and the steamer Cassini. At Am o y, h er Majesty's steamer Rattler. At Shanghai, her Majesty's steamers Hermes and Salamander, and the United States' sloop Saratoga. in Our latest dates are from England, July s 8 Singapore, ore Cal cutta, July 16 ; Bombay, July 31 ; August 15 ; Manilla, July 11; Sydney, June 16 ; Melbourne, June 14 ; Shanghai, August 7. Our letters of yesterday from Canton mention that the commander of the Imperial troops at the Meilin Pass had sent to Canton for assistance and instructions how to act, as the rebels were march ing on the pass. We have nothing more to add to the details of the Arratoon Apcar tragedy, and the only way in which we can account for the atrocity is by ascrib ing the acis to a horrible spirit of Thuggism, which we believe to exist in Chi na i n as great a degree as ever it was heard of in British India. Under the Tartar government this spirit has been fostered and encouraged. The Tai-wan-foo, Hwang-chu-kee, Wongmakok, and Barrier tragedies are particular instances in which the principal Thugs have been largely rewarded for their deeds ; and it will in no way surprise us to learn that Apoon Aying and the 11 others at some early date become trusted man darins in the pay of the Tartar usurper. (The pa triots would not have anything to do with such wretches, we are surd.) The health of the troops in garrison at Hong- Kong continues much the same as reported at the departure of the last mail. There have been two deaths—a soldier of the artillery, from consump tion ; and a private of the 59th, from chronic dy sentery.

Since leaving Singapore the Malta has had fine clear weather, with a light moonsoon a ll u p the Ch ina S ea, and has signalised three vessels at good distances off; one of which [was the Roman Emperor, another the Cossipore, and the third sup posed to . be th e A casta.

Commodore Perry's squadron, to which public attention has been directed for some -two y ears past, has returned from Japan. The followi ng particulars of the expedition are extracted from the China Mail : " The squadron, consisting of the steam frigates Sus quehanna and Mississippi, and the sloops-of-war Ply mouth and Saratoga, sailed from the harbour of Napa kiang, in Loochoo, on the 2d of July. On the morning of the Bth they made Cape Idzu, near the southern en trance, of the Bay of Yedo, and sailing directly up the bay, anchored in the afternoon off the town of Uraga, more than a mile beyond the former anchorage of the Morrison and Columbus. The appearance of the steamers —the first ever seen in Japanese waters—with the other vessels in tow, moving with all sails furled, at the rate of nine or ten knots an hour, appeared to produce con siderable sensation among the Japanese, and all the trading junks, with which the bay was crowded, care fully kept out of their way. " As the vessels were coming to anchor, two shells or rockets were fired !into the air from a battery about a mile distant,, but apparently as a signal, and not a token of hostility. Several government boats immediately . came off, and endeavoured to put on board the vessels the usual notification to foreigners, warning them to'de part. They were not received, however, and the Deputy Governor of Uraga, who was the only person allowed to come on board, was notified that if the Japanese autho rities endeavoured to surround the ships with the usual cordon of boats, it would lead to very serious conse quences. A few boats, nevertheless, lingered around the Susquehanna, but the sight of some warlike prepa rations satisfied them that Commodore Perry was in earnest, and they quickly retired. During the stay of the squadron in the bay, it was never afterwards visited by any boats, except those conveying the officials, through whom the negotiations were carried. The next morning, Yezaimon, the Governor of Uraga, and a nobleman of the'third rank, came off, and after ascer taining the object of his visit, asked for time to dispatch an express to Yedo in order to obtain instructions bow to act. During the three days which elapsed before the answer arrived, .the Mississippi made a trip about ten miles further up the bay, finding everywheredeep sound ings. Beyond the promontory of Uraga, a point which no foreign vessel . had passed before, she discovered a large and beautiful bight which was perfectly land locked, and offered the most secure and commodious an chorage. "On Tuesday, the 12th, an answer arrived from Yedo, stating that the Emperor had appointed an officer of the highest rank to proceed to Uraga, and re ceive the letter of the President of the United States ; and satisfactory proofs having been given to Commodore Perry, that this appointment came directly from the Imperial Government, it was arranged that the inter view should take place on the morning of the 14th. "The Japanese selected the small town of Gori-haima, about three miles south of Uraga, for the interview. On the morning of the 14th, the Susquehanna and Mis sissippi took up a position off the town, and lay with their broadsides to the shores. The Governor and Deputy-Governor of Uraga, with the Commandant of the Military Forces, came off to accompany the com modore to the landing place. Three houses had been erected by the Japanese, one of which-was prepared for the interview, while the other two were apparently in tended for the accommodation of the Princes who had come from Yedo to receive the letter. The officers and men who accompanied Commodore Perry amounted to about four hundred, while the force of the Japanese was variously estimated at from five to seven thousand. Their foremost files extended around the head of the bight, for the distance of nearly a mile, and with their number of scarlet pennons, and banners of various devices, presented a novel and beautiful show. The commodore was escorted with the American colours flying, and the band playing the national 'Hail, Columbia,' to the house of reception. Here he was re ceived by the Prince of Idzu, first councillor of the Emperor, who was accompanied by the Prince of Iwami. The letter of the President, and Commodore Perry's letters of credence were formally delivered, and an official receipt given in return by the two Princes. The interview then terminated, as the latter were not empowered to enter into any negotiations. The Com modore stated, however, that, in order to give the Japanese Government ample time for deliberation, he would depart in three or four days, and return in a few months to receive the reply. " The Governor and Deputy-Governor of Uraga, with the interpreters and attendants, after the interview, were treated to a trip in the Susquehanna, where they wit nessed for the first time the performance of the steam engine. The officers of the two vessels speak with admiration of the beauty of the shores, and the rich cul- tTv . atlon and luxuriant vegetation which they everywhere witnessed. The natives with whom they came in con tact were friendly in their demeanour, and the Governor of Uraga is spoken of as a model of refinement and good breeding. " Notwithstanding the repeated concessions which the Japanese made to the demands of Commodore Perry, they are said to have been very cordial and friendly in their intercourse, and to have taken their final leave with a show of real regret. "The squadron sailed from the Bay of Yedo, on the 17th, and after encountering a severe gale during the 21st and 22d, arrived in Noochoo on the 25th July, and the two steam-frigates re t urne d to Hong Kong on the evening of the 7th August." COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. BOMBAY. (From the Bombay Times.) REPORT ON THE STATE OF THE BOMBAY MARKETS, FROM THE 29TH OF AUGUST TO THE 11TH OF SEP TEMBER, 1853. Since our last report most descriptions of Govern ment securities have fallen in price, and we quote ac cordingly considerable sales of all descriptions at the re duced rates. The greatest depression has been in 5 per cent, paper, which has been sold to some extent at 1031 to 1031 2 per cent, In Bank Shares there has been little doing, except in Bank of Bombay Stock, which has advanced to 38 per cent. premium. Money continues abundant in all quarters. Bullion and Mexican dol lars have sold freely for the China market at advanced rates. Since the date of our last market report there has been a considerable fall of rain, which continues at intervals, and thus all our former fears as to the harvest are quieted, and we have every reason to anticipate good crops of grain and cotton ; the last reports from Broach estimating that the production of cotton in those districts, if nothing usual happens in the meantime to damage the growing crops, will be from 30 to 40 per cent. greater during this than the last season. In piece goods there has been a fair amount of busi ness done, without, however, the briskness previously noticed,—the most active inquiry being for grey made' pollams and jaconets, which command enhanced prices, while yarns are rather dull, excepting for Turkey red, which is very saleable. Metals also demand more atten tion, the imports being very small. rey shirtings, 38 by 40, Vb. to s}lb. —Since the date of our last report but few sales of these have tran spired. The quantity in the hands of thedealers is now supposed to be very small. The value we last quoted remains unaltered, and there seemed every probability of its being steadily maintained for the l.r3sent. For 61b. the inquiry remains steady as before, at 3 12-16. The higher qualities likewise continue to maintain their value in the market, although we have not ma n y sales to report. 45 -i nc h goods ale in fair inquiry at former rates, the higher qualities have slightly declined in value. Metals generally have improv e d i n value. Copper has advanced lr. to 2r. erg cwt., she a ti ng and braziers' being now worth 62r. o .. ; bott oms 63r. ; bolt, 60r. ; tiles, 554 r. to 56r. ; South American slabs, 52r. ; lter is now worth 12.1 r. to 13 r.

Cochineal is held in heavy stock, but a sale of 110,0001 b, of it is rep or t e d , at Ir. 14a. per lb. Cotton —Pew transactions have taken place since the arrival of the last mail from England, as the dealers have CALCUTTA. (From the Englishman.) MONDAY, Sept. s.—The steamer Madras arrived on the 29th ult., with London dates to the 25th of July last. The commercial intelligence generally must be looked upon as satisfactory. We have but little alteration to report as regards the coming indigo crop ; the prospects of the planters in the 1)oab have improved, while, on the other hand, some Bengal concerns are doing with less than was expected. The exports to date amount to 26,737 chests, containing 100,417 maunds, of which 14,832 chests have gone to Great Britain and 8,151 chests to France. Since the arrival of the mail a greater disposition to ship rice to Europe has been manifested ; Mauritius continues to draw largely on the inferior qualities. The last raw silk bond has been unusually productive ; the article re mains in favour, and every parcel on arr i va l rea di ly finds a purchase at full rates. Corahs also command extreme prices, and can easily be placed. A very trifling business has been done in sugar for Great Britain during the past month ; the exports to Australia treble *be quantity to Great Britain in tha,t period. As this thing colony is assuming so important' a position among the consumers of Indian produce, we shall in future give it a place in our list of exports. A considerable demand Aar_ Benares sugar has sprung up for Bombay and the 'Per.: sian Gulf, causing an advance in that quantity of 3 to 4 annas per maund. Buyers show less disposition to ope rate in hides for Great Britain, but an average quantity goes forward to the American market. Linseed has been in considerable demand, and the price of the article has advanced to 212 and 2.14. Rape seed has been less inquired for, but with no alteration in price. New jute has made its appearance, and a small parcel, not of the best quality, has been placed at 2 11 per maund ; the quotation is now 3r. per maund for old. In lee dye the finer marks are only asked for • stocks, however, decreasing, and it i s reported - that' the raw material • in the interior is dear. The stocks of shell lac are also moderate, and this circ umstance, added to the American demand, tends to maintain prices. S a l tpetre is less ac tive for the home market:, and prices not so buoyant as they were. Safflower attracts but partial attention. Our report on cotton goods will be found to be of a more cheering character than our late ones have been. The market continues 'in a healthy state, although de liveries have been chebked by the cause alluded to in our last Price Current. Importers remain very firm, and in respect to some deicriptions of piece goods are looking for better prices. Lappets are still being over done, the imports considerably exceeding the deliveries. A considerable business has been transacted in mule twist, at improved value for all numbers above 30. German Turkey red yarn has been freely pliced; at un altered prices. Orange yarn is more inquired for than iste,and has been looking up during the last few days. Light green is wanted for Bnrmah, but the darker shade of that colour neglected. Influenced by better advices from the Upper Provinces. the demand for copper has improved within the last few days, and dealers are more disposed to enter into it. Iron can be more easily placed. Sheet and plate have improved 2 to 3 annas per, maund, and bar 1 to 2 annas. Importers are, however, looking for a further advance.' Spelter has risen to Company's rupees 10-6 per inaund. Leadis in goodrequest, and pig is quoted at 7-14 to 8.0. ' . Salt has declined ; 89 rupees to 90 rupees is offered for stowed, -and 86 to 87 for butter, but holders prefer ' storing in bond to accepting these prices. The money market is kept well supplied on former terms of interest an d di scount. The share market con tinues firm. Bank of Bengal shares have been - sold at 6,150. New Oriental Life'lnsurance scrip is freely taken at 435. In other joint stock scrip we have no change ' to report. -• 'Exchange for the present mail has been very steady. The bulk of transactions • have been negotiated at 2-1 ; for credit, 2-1 k for document bills, at six months' sight, but a small amount was done at s higher figure. Freights have slightly improved. The quotations for London now are-31. 155., saltpetre ; Si. 17s. 6d. to 41., sugar ; 41., rice ; and 41. ss. to 41. 10s., oilseed. Rice to Mauritius, 2 rs. to 2 re. 2 an. per bag. CANTON MARKET REPORT. HONG KONG, AUG. 22. Our import market continues in a very depressed state, and, besides the causes previously affecting it, latterly heavy floods have further interrupted trade. Cotton is lower. Bombay, sto 6 taxis ; Bengal, 4.8 to 5.8 taels ; Madras, .5.4 to 6.4 taels. Sales only 10,000 bales. Stock, 100,000 bales, against 150,000 bales last year. Cotton yarn has declined.

Quotations are —greys, $1 20c. to $2 20c. ; whites, $1 45c. to $2 60c. Woollens—Spanish stripes, assorted, 70c. to 90c. ; long ells, for an assortment, $5 70c. to $6 10c. ; scarlet, $5 10c. to $6 10c. ; camlets, English, $l5 to $lB4 ; Dutch, $l9 to $2l. Metals—lron has again declined. Nail rod, $2 20e. to $2 40c. ; bar, square, $1 70.. to $1 80c. ; flat, $1 70c. to $1 80c. ; round, $2 to $3 90c. Tin plates, $5 90c. to $6 10c. Turkey opium, $330. Cochineal, $9O to $125. Tea—During the month large transactions have taken place in congous, and at higher prices. Late advises from Shanghai caused much activity in the market. The settlements have been about 80 chops at 18 to 30 taels. 39 chops remain on the market, affording but a poor assortment, and for which extreme rates are asked. Of fine teas none remain.

Bullion— Sycee silver, 5 per cent, premium; gold, $2l 40c. per tad. Freights to England are looking down, and quoted 31. From Shanghai we have dates to the 7th inst. The reported successes of the insurgents counteracted any inclination on the part of dealers to take imports. Un usual exertions had been made to procure funds for pur chasers of silk, and a fair business had been done, but, owing to the scarcity of money, and the advance in price, the settlements of tea limited. _ . Longcloths—Sales of damaged goods supplied the de mand. Cloths weighing lilb. were quoted $1 25c., but no sales of importance could be made. The imports since the Ist of January last are estimated at nearly 2,000,000 of pieces, and a stock remained of about 1,500,000 of pieces. Tea—An advance on the opening rates had taken place, and settlements of congou were done at 14 to 20 taels. About 43 chops had been settled foi, against 133 chops last year. There remained on the market 24 chops, for which full rates were demanded. $290 ; inferior, Silks continued to arrive, although not so freely as at first. Fine quality was likely to be scarce , but a fair supply of the other kinds was expected.
