Prices have in no in stances been much affected, nor is there any particular revival of demand. Stocks continue more than equal to the demand, which, especially on the part of the dealers for the North-Western Provinces, continues singularly quiet. But the fact is, demand seems to be completely outstripped by the magnitude of the supplies which for the last few years have been coming forward. The Cabool dealers are not buying much, and most of the Nepaul men seem to have left Calcutta. In Scotch goods, there is not much doing. Mulls are dull of sale, lappets scarcely so much wanted as they were a little time back. Fine books are more in request than for merly, but there is not much doing in common sorts. Prints are quiet. Red goods without change. The mule twist market of late has shown consilerable activity, and prices are pretty well supported. The sales reported are on a fair scale. In Tupkey red yarns a few sales are reported at previous rates, and the mar. ket looks favourable. Orange is quiet. Green in fair demand.

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 Unfruitful Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necessat y that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, bow the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences maybe avoided, and above a ll, 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 rhysiclan who, regardless of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is free. In selecting this department of practice, he has been amply rea arded 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.

The object of this Company is the working of a large tract of coal land in Virginia (10,000 acres), near the Kanawha River, a navi gable tributary of the Ohio, and convenient to all the great Western markets. A ch irter has been obtained from the Virginia State Legislature for working this Company, and the lands purchased in " fee simple," so that no liability will be attached to the shareholders beyond the amount of subscribed shares. 'I he quantity of workable coal above water level on this property is estimated by Professor a nsted (who has lately returned from a special mission to the district), at 55,000 tons per acre. The de mand far exceeds the supply, and the markets are easily ap proached by good river navigation. The cost of working these mines, and carrying the coal to market, has been carefully calculated by Professor Ansted, showing that on the Kanawha it can be put on board the boats at 3s. per ton, be stored in depots on the Ohio at about ss. per ton, and delivered at Ne Orleans at less than 9s. 6d. per ton, and at the lowest market price will realise 25 per cent on the Company's capital. Prospectuses, together with detailed reports of the property, can be obtained at the broker•, and atlhe officer, No. 30, Bucklersbury.

The news from Burmah is up to the 14th Feb- By the last mail, intelligence of an expedition of boats under Captain Loch, of the Winchester, being about to proceed after a notorious freebooter and his followers, was dispatched to England. By this opportunity it becomes our melancholy duty to have to record the unfortunate termination of this affair. It would appear that after disembarking at Donnabeau, the force under Captain Loch was en trapped into a heavy jungle. Here the enemy made a determined stand, and being under cover, whilst our troops were exposed, they, by their heavy fire, obliged the latter to withdraw to their boats. Amongst those killed were the gallant leader—George Grenville Loch (son of Mr. James Loch, who sat many years for the Wick Boroughs in Scotland) ; Lieutenant Kennedy, of the Royal Navy, belonging to her Majesty's ship Fox ; and Captain Price, of the 67th Bengal Native Infantry. 4 The grenadier company of the tter regiment be haved most gallantly, coverin the retreat of the whole force. The remains ' ptain Loch were brought down to Rangoon iiy t e Phlegethon, and were interred with military honours on the morn ing of the Bth of February. His body was laid by the side of poor young Dorin, of the 18th Royal Irish, on the upper terrace of 'the Dagon pagoda. Three of our guns were left behind in the hands of the enemy. It is stated in private letters from Burmah that the guide of poor Captain Loch's force had played us false. The following extract of a letter to the Bombay Times gives a full ac count of this most unfortunate affair : "Captain Loch, R.N., with a force of one nundred and eighty seamen and marines of her Majesty's ships Fox, Winchester, and Sphinx, together with 350 out of the 67th Bengal Native Infantry, under Major Minchin, attacked Mea Toon on the 3d February, at a place fifteen miles from Donnabeau. They were met at one of the outworks of the stronghold, thrown up on the bank of a steep nullah, by the Dacoits, repulsed and driven back with a loss of two guns, their baggage, two officers and fifteen men killed and left on the field, and about seventy men wounded, who were brought off. During the whole of the retreat they were hard pressed by the enemy, land had much difficulty in bringing oft' the wounded. Cap tain Loch was among the wounded, and has since died, as well as several others who were brought off; some are wounded in three or four places. The Dacoits were concealed in the trees and thick jungle, and scarcely one was seen. It has thrown quite a gloom over the place. "An expedition, naval and military, the former under the command of Captain Loch, C. 8., the latter under Major Minchin, 67th Bengal Native Infantry, was formed for the purpose of attacking ' Meer Toon,' the celebrated bandit chief, who had esconced himself in a stronghold some fifteen miles inland, from ' Donabew.' The naval brigade was 140 strong, composed of the men and boats of her Majesty's ships Winchester, Fox, and Sphinx. The military force consisted of the sepoys of the 67th Bengal Native Infantry, about 350 strong. About the Ist Feb. they arrived at Donabew ; on the 3d, after a fatiguing mach, the guides told Captain Loch they were in front of an outpost of the enemy. At this time the jungle was very dense, and the path so narrow, that two men could not walk abreast ; scarcely had the guides done speaking, when a tremendous fire was opened on them—Lieutenant Kennedy, Ist of the Fox, was shot dead, as also several men ; Captain Loch then waved his sword and shouted to the men to follow him, when down he fell, shot dead—the ball drove his watch into his in testines. I should never finish writing the disasters that befel, if I were to enumerate each and every particular, sufficient to say, the force was driven back with the fol lowing loss :—Two guns (spiked), Captain Lock killed, Lieutenant Kenedy killed (left on the field). Officers wounded : J. H. Bushnell, lieutenant, Winchester ; H. A. Hinde, mate, Winchester, severely (right hand and left arm ; C. F. Wilson, mate, Winchester, very se verely (through the neck) ; Lieutenant Glover, of the Sphinx, severely under the eye. Seamen and marines killed, five (two left dead on the field) ; seamen and marines wounded, almost all severely, many in three or foufplaces, 48. Total officers and men killed Ditto wounded Total of naval and brigade 59 " Military department, Major 3tinchin commanding ; second in command, Captain Pryce. I may first tell you the sepoys behaved nobly—they covered the whole re treat. Killed—Captain Pryco, 67th Bengal Native Infantry (buried at Donabew). Sepoys killed, 9; sepoys wounded (all severely), 20. That there was smart work, and that they got it hot and strong, the above pre* well shows. " The body of the gallant Loch was buried on the morning of the Bth at Rangoon, close by the side of poor Doran, of the 18th Royal Irish. Tho commodore is sadly cut up about this sad affair. His own son had two bullets through his jacket. " By poor Captain Loch's death, Commander Shad well, of the Sphinx, has got his promotion, and is now Flag-Captain of the Winchester. Hillyer, of the Win chester, is also made Commander in the Sphinx. The Sphinx is going home—she leaves in a fortnight. The Rattler started for China about a week ago." Another letter says : " The boats of the fleet have again been driven by the Burmese, a little above Pantanno, up the identical creek that Captain Hewett, 1.N.. thought it rashness to ven ture. Commander Lambert, RN., was in command of the whole, Lieutenant Mitcheson, 1.N., second in com mand ; the expedition altogether was about 180 strong. On the 16th of January the attack was made on Pan tanno, and the place as formerly (when Hewett com manded) carried with very little loss. Mitcheson re ceived a slight wound in the thigh—he was the only officer touched. On the following morning (17th) the advance was made up the creek (two boats could not pull abreast), the banks low and covered with dense jungle, stakes driven into the river, and trees filled across to bar the passage. The boats had got up about four miles, when—who would have thought it ?—a few ex plosions were heard from either bank, and corresponding to these two or three men fell, a few more explosions, and two or three men again fell, and so on to the end of the chapter. The fire got hotter and hotter, till they were driven back with twelve men killed and wounded, seven men, including Mitcheson, belonging to the Mo zuffer. Mitcheson was wounded severely, the ball pass ing through the bend of the knee, and it will be some time ere he can recover the use of the limb." Poor Major Hawes, of the Ist Madras Fusiliers, committed suicide at Bassein by cutting his throat. The reason for such a rash act is yet shrouded in mystery. The report which went home by last mail, that General Steele met with a reverse, turns out to be untrue. That officer is employed in carrying out his orders, and is now making a sweep round Pegu. At Ava, peace counsels are in the ascendant • the brother of the King is still the ruler, and the king himself is a prisoner in that brother's hands. Com missioners are on their way from the capital to the British camp, to listen to the terms of peace which we are to dictate. The whole country of Pegu is peaceful, with the exception of the robber bands, which infest the whole province. It was one of these bands against which poor Loch and his party were sent. Another party, under Commander Rennie, of the Indian navy, was sent up the Bas sein river, and had done right good service. The last-named officer landed his men and three guns, and pushed across the country in pursuit of the enemy. The latter was at last brought to bay, when Rennie's party opened upon them, and, at the distance of fifty yards, killed some fifty with grape and canister ; the remainder flew in every direction. A correspondent of the Calcutta Citizen thus writes regarding the affair "The enemy's outpost was reached on the 23d and driven in, closely followed by the boats as far as the main stronghold. Four small pieces were landed, and the blue jackets started 16 miles inland across country to a place 8 miles from Donnabeau, driving before them about 12,000 of the enemy, and killing one chief and five men, getting back to their boats, after 35 miles' hard march ing, the following night. " On the 25th, Captain Rennie, with the men of the Nemesis, again started up the river, and on the 28th reached Lymena by dark, and landed the guns at day light. On the 29th he pushed on in search of the native chief, halted in the evening until midnight, and again pushed on by the light of the moon, and at daylight of the 30th was in presence of the enemy, in force number ing about 3,200 men, who came on very boldly, mis taking our fellows for Dacoits, and opened fire. " Captain Rennie waited for them until within about 200 yards, when he returned the enemy's fire with canis ter and grape, repeating the dose a second time, which sent the Burmese flying in all directions, throwing down their arms, and in most complete confusion. " Forty-eight of the enemy were killed and fifty taken prisoners, among whom were two sons of the chief, one them being severely wounded in the foot. The chiefs horse was found cut in half by a shot. The rout of the enemy was most complete, and the villagers, who had been much oppressed by the chief and his followers, turned out in pursuit." This affair of Captain Rennies seems to be one of the most brilliant performed during the whole war. General Godwin has returned to Prome after gar risoning Meaday. In Kurrachee some disturbances have taken place, but the particulars thereof are not known. The state of Bhawulpore;'on the Indus, is also in a disturbed condition. The present Nawab, an ille gitiinate son of" the late Nawab, it is said, Ins declared the successor of his father through in trigues in the Zenana. The rightful heir is Hajee Mahomed, who has until lately been imprisoned by his illegitimate brother, but is now at liberty, and, at the head of a considerable force, is endeavouring to regain his rights. Five hundred miles of the Bhawulpore territory borders upon our north-west frontier, and this flame once lighted in a land where thousands of the disturbed Khalsa soldiers are without employment, will, it is to be feared, give employment to our troops from Mooltan and Shikarpoore. In the Punjaub and North-west provinces all is at present quiet. The Nizam's country is, as usual, in a disturbed state. The Governor-General has written a letter to his Highness, to the effect that the present state of affairs cannot be allowed to continue. The state of the kingdom of Oudh is very little better than that of the Deccan, and popular report has it that Lord Dalhousie will, if he remains another year in India, annex the dominions of Oudh to the British territory. " It is confidently asserted that such will be done at the express desire and wish of the King himself. At Madras the European and native inhabitants are getting up a testimonial to the late Duke of Wellington. Sir Henry Pottinger, Sir Charles Rawlinson, and Sir Richard Armstrong have each put their names down for very large amounts. " In Bombay the question of the overland mail arrangements is exciting a considerable degree of public attention. The Governor-General is still at Calcutta, al though we expect to hear of his having started for Arracan every day. Sir Henry Pottinger is at Madras, and Lord Falkland at Bombay. Lord Frederick Fitzclarence is severely indisposed at the presidency—he is suffering from gout and a swelling of the head and face. The Great Indian Peninsu lar Railway is to be opened from Bombay to Tannah on Saturday, the 2d of April, by his lordship the Governor, and on Monday, the 4th, the line will be opened for passenger traffic to Tannah. The goods trains will not commence running until Oc tober next—after the rainy season is over. The state of trade has not improved since the departure of the last mail ; in fact, rather the re verse. This depression may be accounted for partly by the decline in the rate of exchange, and by the number of previous purchases. _ _ The rates of exchanged declined to 2s. 00. per rupee for Baring's credit, but have since advanced to 2s. odd. ; but local bills, 2s. ld. to 2s. lid. and for bills secured by shipping docuthents, 2s. lid. to 2s. lid. Freights are still high at 3/. 17s. 6d. to 4/. per ton. But little business has been done in cotton, as the new crop from the north has not yet come for ward. Omerawutty and Dhollera has been sold at Rs. 95 to 97 per candy. There has been a fearful conflagration at Ran goon. A correspondent writing to the Hurkarta says that " Rangoon is a place of desolation and death just now. The dockyard buildings and others to a very considerable extent, have been completely destroyed by , fire ; while the small -pox is causing havoc as great among living beings. The appearance of prosperity, and improvement which so lately marked this place is now succeeded by barrenness and misery. Captain Sparks is doing all to restore the inhabitants to something like the comforts which they have lost, but one man can do little under such circumstances. One of the con sequences of the fire is that somehow or another it has thrown the whole of the official arrangements into a state of confusion." (From the Overland Bombay Summary, Mara 1.) We gave in our last intelligence from Burmah, down to the 26th January, at which date expedi tions had been dispatched to the neighbourhood of Donabew in pursuit of the marauders, and General Steele was making a sweep round Pegu. The rumour that the last-named officer had suffered a reverse proves groundless ; and we have now tid ings of considerable importance down to the 14th of February. Peace counsels continue in the ascendant at Ava, the ruler whose insolence occa sioned the rupture is in the hands of his brother, who administers affairs in his stead. Commission ers were on their way from the capital to meet us, and to arrange terms of peace such as we should dictate. It was said that we insisted on having men of the highest rank, if not the Sovereign him -self, to deal with, before we would condescend to treat—a wise determination. It is only through their own humiliation that barbarians can be con vinced of the power of their enemies. It was at the same time believed that our aid would be applied for by one of the contending factions against the other : so uniform is the course of events in the East. Though the war was thus over, so far. as the Sovereign was concerned, we were engaged in constant conflicts with the robber bands infesting the country ; more formidable to us than our encounters with the regular army. The chief who so annoyed our troops at Pegu has surrendered himself to General Steele, and is by this time in our hands at Martaban. The steamer. Phlegethon, with a body of seamen and marines, dispatched against the robber chief Mea Toon, found it impossible to effect anything, and returned without results. Three hundred of the 67th Bengal Native Infantry, under command of Major Minchin, with a strong naval force under Captain Loch, were now dispatched on a second expedition, when they got inveigled into the jungle, and went up a long narrow creek, were fired upon from behind the banks by the enemy, and were compelled to withdraw in haste, under cover of the sepoys. Captain Loch and Lieut. Kennedy, of the Royal Navy, under Captain Price, of the 67th, having fallen, three of our guns were left behind. It was oelieved the guide had played us false. An expedition had meanwhile been sent up the Bassein river, under Capt. Rennie, of the Sesostris, which proved eminently successful, and was attended by the most brilliant results. The men, with three guns, having land e d, un d er Captain Rennie, pushed across the country in pursuit of the enemy, whom they managed to bring to bay, and at the distance of 50 yards met them with such a discharge of grape and cannister as to lay 50 of them on the plain, at once scattering the rest in all directions. The Governor General is said to have selected Cape Negaris, a place long celebrated as a sanitarium, in place of Rangoon, as our future shipping port. We mentioned in our last the gallant capture of the stockade which obstructed the Aeng Pass ; this has since then been garrisoned by a hundred men from the 68th Native Infantry, under Captain Barclay, and a similar number from the Arracan Local Battalion. The position is nearly 5,000 feet above the level of the sea, and so cold at night that blankets are required to be sent to the mon. It looks down, on the one side, on the Bay of Bengal; from the other, a vast stretch of the basin of the Irrawaddy is visible. Since then the Tunghoo Pass had been seized and garrisoned by us, and this re duces the communication between Prome and the coast, through the mountain ridges and plains of Arracan, to three days. A detachment of the 18th Royal Irish, under Major Edwards, has been dis patched from Prome to form a junction with Major Maling, advancing from the other side. They were expected to meet on the 27th, and a daily post was thereafter to be established with Calcutta. All the Royal troops had retired from the neighbourhood of our outposts, and fallen back on Ava, with a view, as was supposed, of sharing in the domestic dissensions in progress around the capital, or defend ing the frontier from the attacks with which it is said. to be threatened from the eastward. Rangoon had been visited by a tremendous conflagration, which had nearly swept away the building yards, the commissariat, and a large portion of the town. The city has from its foundation been subject to in cessant fires, and will probably now be rebuilt by us, with some material less inflammable than wood. Small-pox was committing sad ravages amongst the inhabitants, and the introduction of vaccination will probably be one of the first of the great blessings they will experience at the hands of the British Government. We subjoin some extracts from letters just received from Rangoon. A deadly fever rages along the north-west frontier of the Punjaub, which, so far as the enemy is concerned, is at present in the enjoyment of unusual tranquil lity. The Maharajah of Gwalior has come of age, and splendid festivities are being arranged in con templation of the event. The great commissariat contractor, Lalla Jotee Pursaud, has resolved to expend. 10,0001. on the construction of a building for the accommodation of pilgrims at Saugor. The weather at Bombay has become unusually hot for March, the atmosphere being muggy, hot, and dis agreeable. The Governor is still at the Presidency, as is also the Commander-in-Chief ; the latter is suffering severely from swelling in the face. Both are expected to proceed a fortnight hence to the highlands of Mahabuleshwar. The Governor- General is in Arracan, Sir H. Pottinger at Madras. The Commander-in.:Chief of India is inspecting the troops in the North-West Provinces.. The Bombay Railway is expected to be opened on the 4th of April, Trade continuo prosperous l • the shares/ (Front the Bengal Hurkara.) Rangoon is a place of desolation and death just now. The dockyard buildings and others to a very considerable extent have been completely destroyed by fire ; while the small-pox is causing havoc as great among living beings. The appearance of pro sperity and improvement which so lately marked this place is now succeeded by barrenness and misery. Captain Sparks is doing all to restore the inhabitants to something like the comforts which they have lost, but one man can do little under such circumstances. One of the consequences of the fire is that, somehow or another, it has thrown the whole of the official arrangements into a state of confusion. All the functionaries and all the officers seem suddenly to have forgotten what be longs to each, and to show an inclination to poach on the authority and manor of another. SCINDE. On the Bth instant, the right wing of her Ma jesty's 83d Regiment embarked on board the Sutlej, Indus, Assyria, and Nimrod, with each a flat in tow. ' Shortly after the men embarked, one of the steamers (the Satellite) broke down, and was re placed by the Nimrod. The Duke of Argyle, with a portion of the 3d Dragoons, left on the sth, and the Earl of Balcarras, with the invalids, on the 9th. There are still several invalids and a remaining portion of the dragoons waiting the arrival of the Wanota, which is chartered to take the remainder of the Bengal troops here. During the past ten days the atmosphere has become quite humid, and the sky is covered with light rain clouds. I suppose from the present appearance of the weather we will have a smart shower, the cold weather has left us.—Telegraph and Courier, 18. A letter just received from the northward states that Hajee Khan, the brother of the Nuwab of Bhawulpoor, has escaped from prison, and raised a force of from 4,000 to 5,000 men, with which he is advancing from Khanpore to meet Sadik's army between him and Ahmedpore. Whether the up shot of this will be any pitched engagement is deemed highly improbable, inasmuch as the troops will go over to Hajee Khan. The Nuwab's army is eight miles below Chanee-ka-Roohie, and Hajee's just 16 miles a b ove , a t Munno Kunda. Our cor respondent adds that a day or two would settle the affair. Mr. Coffey, the postmaster, it was expected, had got into the country between the advancing forces. ASSAM. Private letters from Woodudgeree mention a disturbance created by the Booteas, which if not immediately suppressed might have given us some trouble. They rose in considerable numbers, and assumed the offensive, but energetic measures having been taken at once they were repulsed with great loss. The loss on our part was very small, consisting of one havildar and a few native soldiers. Apparently frightened at this unexpected reverse, the Devraja of Bhoot deputed his subordinate Rajah of Bootea to negociate with us, offering the most submissive terms of reconciliation, and apolo gising for the conduct of his subjects, maintaining that the provocation took place without his know ledge or sanction. Having received the castigation he deserved, peace was restored. COMMERCIAL. REPORT ON THE STATE OF THE BOMBAY MARKETS, FROM THE 13TH FEBRUARY TO THE 28TH FEBRUARY, 1853, INOLUSWE. The money market remains in the same easy state as when we last wrote. The only remarkable feature of the fortnight is the advance in Oriental Bank Corporation Stock, which has been sold as high as 80 per cent pre mium. This advance, being 30 per cent. above our last quotations, is understood to be caused by large orders to purchase from England, consequent on the rise in price on the London Stock Exchange. The other bank shares have also experienced a smalradvance. Dealers having lately shown but little inclination to buy, there has been very little business transacted since the departure of the last mail. Grey goods, however, may still be quoted at our former rates ; in yarns there lia3 been a falling off, the inquiry is limited, and No. 40's do not now realise more than the price formerly given for No. 30's. Grey shirtings of 40 and 45 inches, of from 5i to Blbs., may be quoted at the former rate, the heavier descrip tions incline downwards. Grey long cloths continue without improvement. Grey madapolams of 31bs. to 3 3-161ba. are readily saleable at Rs.l 12 annas ; there is but little inquiry fur other descriptions. Grey T cloths remain as when we wrote our last re port. - Grey domestics are not in so good request as they were, but those of 36 and 40 inches realise the prices formerly quoted. Grey Jacconets—The lower qualities are in good re quest, the stock being small. Finer descriptions meet with more inquiry ; 45 inches remain without change. Grey mulls are not in request. Grey twills are in good inquiry. Bleached shirtings of the lower qualities are in de mand, Rs. 3 12 ans. may be readily got for a quality of goods which did not fetch more than Rs. 3 2 ans, last sea son. The finer qualities are not in such demand. Bleached Madapolans —There is demand for the low qualities. Bleached Jacconets of low quality are in eager re quest, while the finer descriptions arc dull of sale. Bleached dimity, or figured shirtings, of 12, 24, and 40 yards, are in good d eman d a t R s. 24, 44, and Its. 6 12 to Rs. 6 15 per piece. Bleached lappets are without change in value. Co loured lappets in request. Lappet scarfs are also wanted, and arc iu request. Turkey red - goods are neglected for the most part ; mulls only being in request. Yarns are dull of sale. Turkey red, Nos. 30 to 60, meet with ready sale ; the same remark applies to orange. Metals have been more in request latterly, and may be readily sold at our quotations. Cochineal is saleable at Rs. 1 12 to Rs. 1 13 in small parcels. Saffron fetches Rs. 10 to 12, according to quality- Cotton.—Very little of the new crop has yet arrived. Surat and Broach is held for higher prices. Oomrawutty and Dhollar sells for Its. 95 to R. 97 per candy. The report of cotton, since our last report, has been 16,500 bales. Pepper sells in small lots, as it arrives, at Rs. 65 to 66 for Bhutcol, and Rs. 60 to 61 for Tellicherry. Exchange.—The China mail, which lately arrived, brought few credit bills, and many of those having been remitted to Calcutta, transactions took place at 2s. Oid , since which time exchange on England has again ad vanced, and may be quoted at 2s. Oid. for credit bills, and 2s. 11d. for local and document bills six months' sight. On Calcutta Rs. 98 4, and on China Rs. 221 per 100 dollars at two months' sight. Tonnage has been engaged immediately on arrival at 4/. for London, and none can now be had for London, Liverpool, or Glasgow under 4/. ss. Shipments of cot ton are slowly going on to China at Rs. 19 per candy. CALCUTTA MARKETS. 'From the Overland Bengal Hurkaru Price Curren, Feb. 19.) In our export market here there is not much change to notice. One or two small sales of indigo have taken place, which have gone off with rather less spirit than might have been expected, considering the state of the home market, and the activity, with which the market opened here this season. There is very little doing in sugar. Raw silk continues in full demand, and the sup ply is still inadequate. Silk piece goods are compara tively quiet. Shell lac remains in active request ; and the same may be said of lac dye. A fair demand exists for saltpetre, and prices are pretty full. Hides are in less request than they were, and prices have rather a downward tendency. Jute continues to be favourably thought of, and shipments to an increased extent are said to be in progress. Nothing doing in safflower. All sorts of oil-seeds are in fair demand. Castor oil is with out any very great inquiry. Cutch is looked after to a small extent, but there is still little or no stock in the market. Shipments of raw cotton continued on a fair scale to both Great Britain and China. There is no news fresh from the Straits and Chin The second opium sale of th e season i s to take place on on the 21st instant. Prices quoted in the Bazaar yes terday were, Patna Co.'s R s , 961 ; 13enares 973 per chest ; but pending the sal e above' C.' R. these quotations must be regarded as nominal.

Indigo—There has only been very little doing in the way of public sale during the period under notice. Business has been almost at a stand, owing to the widely different views of buyers and sellers, which now, how , ever, appear to be gradually assuming something like uniformity.

CHINA. (From the Overland China Mail of Feb. 11.) , The rebellion is gaining ground. Commissionei- General Seu, according to latest reports, despairing of success, has committed suicide, whilst advancing on Yaugtzekiang, the main artery of the empire (the possession of which enabled Sir Henry Pottin ger to dictate terms, and bring the late war to a conclusion). The labels have seized upon Wuch ang, situated on its south bank, the capital of Hu peh, causing the Shansee merchants to fly, aid putting a stop to all trade ; that the next places to be attacked are Han-yang and Kew-kiang, the former a place where large quantities of British manufactures find a ready market ; that at every town and place on the river as far as Clun-lieng foo the Government functionaries arein a state of consternation, and that Nan-king is indeed the gaol to which the insurgents now express their determination to push on. CANTON MARKET-FEB. 9. There is almost an entire cessation of business, the Chinese dealers being engaged in winding up their affairs at their New-year. We therefore omit our usual quota tions of European and American goods, since but few sales have been made, and the rates are only nom i nal. No change las taken place in strai ts and Indian pro duce. EXPORTS. Tea h s a . some descriptionstions an advance on pr ev i ous quota- Exchanges and Bullion. —On Lond on , 4 s. l i d. to 4s.

Much consternation has been produced in several of the rural districts in consequence of the issue of an order for the levy of 10,000 new troops, the Pacha having been called upon by the Sultan to supply a contingent of 15,000 to the forces cf the Porte. The late British Consul General here, Mr. C. A. Murray, is about leavingior Switzerland, where ho has been appointed to a mission ; his place is tem porarily occupied by Mr. Paget, Secretary of Lega tion at Athens. Great embarrassment has been felt in commer cial circles by the failure of a number of houses en gaged in the corn trade, but the crisis now appears to be past. The seaboard of Egypt has, during the last fort night, been visited with violent storms, attended by unseasonable coldness. Among the Indian visitors lately arrived is Sir Walter Gilbert, whose health has b e en for some time in a very precarious condition. The steam-ship Suez arrived, after a safe and pleasant Toyage 3 On the 17th instant,
