HARRINGTON PARKER, Beer-M erchant, 51, Pall-mall. for Surat, 94r. to 95r. for Dhollerah, and 90r. per • ca,ndy for Oomrawutty cotton. The rnaintainance of these prices have deterred shippers from sending on the s taple, freights suddenly fell to 4/. per ton, at which aI/ the shipping in the harbour was taken up. Freights have again advanced, and tonnage cannot be had to Liverpool or London for less than 4/. ss. per t on. In oonsequence of the recent unfavourable intellige ace from China, freight is not much sought for, and n iay now be quoted at 16r. to 17r. per candy. Exchange on England has for some time back been steadily advancing, and most transactions for this mail have been done at 2s. 10. per rupee at six m onths' sight for Baring Brothers' credits, with the usual differ ence for local draughts and those secured by shipping documents. and for which the Consul, on receipt of security, renders himself responsible. The arrival of the United States' Japanese ex pedition in the Chinese seas is daily expected, It is said that a Russian squadron is also on its way to the same destination, and an accession to our naval force in these seas is considered necessary. The Burmese war will for some time occupy a con siderable portion of the naval force originally ap propriated to the Chinese seas. The Chinese Ministry has followed up its memo rial in favour of legalising the traffic in opium by another, in which it points out the advantages of permitting its cultivation in China. The memorial states that the climate and soil of the greater part of the empire is peculiarly adapted to the growth of opium, and produces a better quality of the drug than is grown in India ; moreover, that opium is already grown in China to a very considerable ex tent, notwithstanding the stringency of the Govern ment prohibition—the parties convicted for the offence being invariably let off by the local autho rities, and the officers sent to cut down and destroy the crops being always bought off. The fact of opium being cultivated in China has for some years been well known at Bombay. The Chinese Minister proceeds to demonstrate that the six million a-year paid to the foreign producers of opium would be saved to the country were its growth encouraged at home. It is thus clear that the duty on opium (at present producing more than 3,000,0001. ster ling a-year) can no longer be calculated on as a permanent source of income by the East India Company, and this affords another argument for the reduction of the overgrown and overpaid esta blishments of the Fast India Company. At Ascension, on the 3d of May, were her Ma jesty's ship Penelope, flag of Admiral Bruce ; Brito mart, Commander azeltine ; and the steamer Alecto, Commander Crofton. Her Majesty's brig Ferret was daily expected. The Admiral was from Loando, and intended to return there, whence he would go to St. Helena. The Britomart left Cape Coast Castle on the 20th of April, and arrived at Ascension on the 30th, the Ashantee invasion having been quelled. She was refitting, and intended leaving for St. Helena on the 9th of May. The Alecto was repairing her boilers, her desti nation uncertain. The sick from the late expedition to the coast had recovered. The Cape Verdes were healthy; the Vocalish and four other coal ships were in harbour. At Porto Grande, the Ameri can steam-tug Confucius, for Hong Kong. The General Screw Steam Shipping Company's mail ship Indiana, Captain Lambert, left St. Vin cent, from England, coaled, in ten days six hours. Ships spoken.—April 9th, the barque Herald, from the Mauritius, bound to London, out six days, in lac. 25 50 S. , l ong. 50 15 E.

April 18th, sp o k e t h e Prince of Wales East India man, off Cape Agulhas, from Calcutta, bound to the Cape and London. On Sunday, the 22d inst., the Bosphorus was only 700 miles from Plymouth, expecting to report on the afternoon of the 25th. It was then blowing a strong gale from N.N.W. to N.N.E., which con tinued until Thursday morning. During Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, the 23d, 24th, and 25th, the gale was very heavy, with a tremendous iea, which compelled her to lay to, it being dangerous to force her against it. The only damage done in the gale was loss of head-rails and knees. The passengers by the Bosphorous have pre sented to Captain Benson a complimentary address for his constant and unremitting attention during the passage home. The cargo of the Bosphorous consists of indigo, silk, and specie. FORBES'S NEW WORK. Just published, MEMORANDUMS MADE IN IRELAND IN THE AUTUMN OF 1852.

The extraordinary results of this application may be briefly noted in a few of their most promi nent features, as the following !—All sharp edges are avoided ; no springs, wires, or fastenings are required ; a greater increased free dom of suction is supplied ; a natural elasticity hitherto wholly un attainable; and a fit, perfected with the most unerring accuracy, are secured, while from the softness and flexibility of the agent em ployed, the greatest support is given to the adjoining teeth when loose. or rendered tender by th e absorption of the gums. The acids of the mouth exert so agency on the chemically-prepared White India-rubber, and as it is a non-conductor, fluids of any temperature may with thorough comfort be imbibed and retained in the month, all unpleasantness of smell or taste being at the same time wholly provided against by the peculiar nature of its preparation. To be obtained only at 61, Grosvenor-street, London ; 22, Gay-street, Bath ; 34, Grainger-street, Newcastle-on-Tyne. COLBURN'S NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE. Edited by 'W. HARRISON AINSWORTH, Esq.

WEATHER unusually fine drew thousands to the "Downs," and every mode of conveyance was adopted by visitors anxious to witness the results of the race, through clouds of dust, which the Roman poet msntions when referring to the famous Olympic. All classes had to pass, but never was the contest of Dress so plainly decided, and that which looked elegant and felt comfortable secured the palm. This. as on all previous occasions, 'sills universally awarded - to j.ll9,4indliCt/%18. of E. Moses an d "" g " . The fact is, the materials from which the SIMMER DRESS is made are such as dust and sunbeams never change, and the cut and style of the Garments meet with equal approbation amongst all daises, from the nobleman to the indu•trious mechanic. Predictions rela tive to the winner of the "Derby" have, on some occasions, proved fallacious, but "West. Australian" was generally considered the favourite by all parties. Emblems illustrate business, and names interpret commercial tanasactions ; but in no case could this be so applicable as to the Bu: Mess of E.

SAMUEL LA'ME,IIT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, and Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London. Hospital Medic Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. MAY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from juvenile irregif arities and excesses, which have pro duced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all sta.ies of life, than perhaps any other class of dis eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitild Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necessary 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, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged In an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, and s the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is tree. In selecting this department of practice, he has been amply ress 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.

Culverwell, M.D., 10, Argyll-place, ReL e39nt•strrcnet,l Who may be consulted daily from Ten till Five and :Seven till Nine, The news from Burmah extends to the 9th of April, and is extremely unsatisfactory. Two days after the departure of the regular mail steamer from Rangoon the Medusa arrived-therefrom Moulmein with an urgent requisition for more troops. The steam frigate Mozuffer was immediately dispatched to Calcutta, where she took on board a wing of the 2d European Fusiliers, and immediately returned. The other wing is to follow. Arrangements have, it is said, been put in train for following up these reinforcements by a still more numerous embarka tion of soldiers as soon as they can possibly be dispatched. The Mozuffer brought down a Rangoon Chronicle Extra, in which it was stated, " that Being had been attacked and retaken by a large body of the King's troops, who had cut up one small garrison there." One of the secretaries to Government has written to the Calcutta papers to state " that there are no grounds for this report." The bazaars of Calcutta are, however, inundated by reports of disasters in Burmah. The fact is that the Burmese Court is playing its old game, and, while endeavouring to delay our advance by negotiation, is organizing a partizan warfare in our rear, which threatens severe incon venience and danger to our small detachments scattered over the country. The garrisons of both Moulmein and Rangoon (our very base of opera tions) are again threatened by numerous bodies of the King's troops. No particulars have yet transpired regarding General Cheape's affair with Myah Thoon. This unwonted silence has, of course, led (says the Delhi Gazette) to all sorts of unpleasant rumours. The Englishman has heard that some of the native troops—those whose bravery was most relied on— did not behave well. The Ifurkaru hears that the casualties have been greater than was reported. Myah Thoon escaped from Captain Fytche's force, which retired to Bassein, and he is now at large collecting troops. The present position of affairs is as follows :—On the right bank of the Irrawaddy, beginning at its north, the garrison of Rangoon, only 800 strong, is said to be threatened by a Burmese force con sisting of two bodies of 1,500 each, commanded by Wongee ; higher up, at Donabew, there is a force observing Myah Thoon. The head-quarters at Prome have been much weakened by the detach ment of a considerable force to the south to look after Myth Thoon, and another to the north to form the advance at Meadey. There are small parties at intermediate points along the right bank of the river, but the latter affords ample facilities for communicating with them, or relieving them if necessary. On the left bank, however, there are grounds for considerable anxiety. General Steele marched up a column from Moulmein to Tongho through the interior, leaving small garrisons at Beling, Shoygyn, Sitang, and other towns he went through. He is now halting at Tongho, within 21 marches of Ava, with about 800 men. Moulmein, IViartaban, and Boling are all threat ened by superior forces of Burmese, and there is every reason to fear that the small garrisons of Sitang and Shoygyn (so distant from any aid must be also surrounded by bodies of the enemy. The troops are in very bad health, provisions are very scarce, and the various steamers are getting used up by hard work. The Burmese Commissioners have met Captain Phare, and returned to Ava for further powers. There are two accounts of their objection to sign the treaty. According to one they spurn all idea of cession of territory, and by the other they are stated to object to the particular line of frontier selected. It is quite clear that a per manent settlement can only be made with our troops at Ava, but they are at present so scat tered in detachments over the country, and pro visions are so scarce, that time will be required for the collection and equipment of a force suffici ently large to satisfy General Godwin's views. The first 24 miles of the Bombay Railway—the first railway in India and in Asia—was opened on the 16th of April, and. has now been carrying upwards of 1,000 natives daily, for a fortnight. The Great India Peninsular Railway Company may inscribe Primus in Indus on their seal, on the 39th Regiment do on their colours. The railway was not inaugurated as the first constructed in Asia should have been. The Governor and Government naturally manifested no interest whatever in an event which, but for the obstruction of their hon ourable masters the Court of Directors, would have taken place several years earlier. The follow is from the Bombay Times : " The first railway in Asia was opened at Bombay amidst a vast concourse of people and unprecedented re joicings on the 16th of April. The most notable event that ever occurred in the East seemed to possess no claims on the regards of the authorities ; the Governor, the Commander-in-Chief, and the Bishop, with two of the Secretaries and Presidency Staff, had gone to their summer quarters ; the members of Council present were silent, and it was remarked that the prayer or addresses, never omitted in consecrating the colours of a regiment or laying the foundation of a townhouse, were forgotten at the commencement of the operations of the most wonderful structure the East ever beheld." Another important source of Indian revenue, the salt duties, is also beginning to fail. The Friend of India attributes this falling off to the fact that the people of the Company's territories are becoming so poor as to be compelled to retrench in one of the most indispensible necessaries of life. It is possible that the falling off of the salt revenue may admit of other solution, but the gradual impoverishment of the inhabitants of the Company's territories, as compared with those of native States, is a fact as notorious as it is humiliating, and it is one which of all others should form the subject of special and searching inquiry before the Charter be renewed. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. THE BOMBAY MARKETS, FROM THE 14TH OF APRIL TO THE 28TH OF APRIL, 1853, INCLITSWE. The brisk inquiry for piece good, exhibited on the departure of the last mail, has ceased entirely i n conse quence of the anxiety shown by importers to realise their stocks before the closing of the season and take advantage of the favourable rate of exchange ; lower rates have, therefore, been accepted on nearly all kinds of goods. Grey shirtings, of 40-inch and of 51 to 61b., have de clined at 11a. to 2a. per piece, 71b. nearly 4a., and those of above 71b. 6a. to Ba. on the last mail's quotation ; however the sales are nearly 12,500 pieces at 4r. for a cloth of 641 b., at sr. 11a. for one of 911 b. A similar depression is perceptible on shirtings of 45-inches. Grey madapollams, so eagerly inquired for before the last mail left, have given way about 11 annas per piece on the late advance, and are not now asked for. Grey domestics and T-cloths likewise show a decline on former prices. Bleached goods of all descriptions remain as per last reported, without any improvement. Sales reported are very trifling of jacconets and lappets. quota tions, Mule h tw ile is w t h at a e s r r h ev as ive d d ec a li s n had edp e in rop v o a r lu tio e on last nately .Sales s reported are to a fair extent. Metals, notwithstanding so limited a stock here, with such high price in England, show no improvement, and a sale of 200 cwt. sheathing reported at no more than than 63r. per cwt. Beer is expected to be dear in Bombay this year, in consequence of the difficulty in securing tonnage in England to be sent out here. Sales reported arc 100 hhds. of Hodgson at 60r., 80 hhds. James Thorne's beer and porter at 55r. per hhd., and 600 dozen Bass's, bottled in England, at sr. per dozen. We also report sales of 120 bolts Canvas at 15ir. per bolt, and 225 cwt. white and green paint, at 121 r. per cwt. In cotton has been done since the arrival of the last steamer from China bringing such discouraging ac counts of the price of that article there ; for although stocks are fast accumulating, and few shipments going on either to England or China, holders are firm, and the price has not declined more than 2r. or 3 r . per candy ; they ask 99r, for Broach and Jumbooseer cotton, 97r. CHINA. By last mail it was stated that the Chinese autho rities at Shanghai were reported to have asked as sistance of the English ships of war in the harbour, but that the rumour was disbelieved at Bombay by those best acquainted with the Chinese charac ter. The Ganges, which left Shanghai on the 21st, and Hongkong on the 28th of March, has, how ever, brought the important intelligence that such request was actually made, and that the English, French, and American ships of war present have consented to interfere for the protection of Shang hai and Nankin. On the 16th of March most urgent dispatches from the Governor of Nankin were received by the Chinese Governor of Shanghai, requiring him to implore the foreign Consuls to send im mediate assistance to Nankin, and stating that unless foreign aid were afforded, and that im mediate, the city must fall into the hands of the rebels, by whom it was closely invested both by laud and water. A fleet of Imperial junks, assisted by hired Portuguese armed lorchas, which had been sent up the river to oppose the progress of the insurgents, had been over powered by the rebel flotilla ; and the latter, sail ing down the Yangtsekiang, had anchored without opposition immediateiy opposite Nankin. The division of the " revolutionary army " investing the place by land is stated to be 30,000 strong, and increasing. Several days before this the Chinese Government had also applied for assistance to Sir C. Bonham, the British Commissioner at Hong kong. Sir Charles accordingly departed in her Ma jesty's steamship Hermes on the 13th of March for Shanghai, but had not arrived there when the mail left. Her Majesty's steamship Salamander had also gone to Shanghai, and her Majesty's ship Lily was already there. The French war t steamer Cassini and the United States leviathan Susque hanna have both proceeded up the Yangtsekiang, and Colonel Marshall, the American Commissioner, has determined to place the latter before Nankin. The immediate effect of this interference on the relative position of the insurgents and imperialists is most momentous. It is acknowledged by the Chinese themselves that the loss of Nankin would have been the loss of the empire. A recent Impe rialist proclamation contains the following : " The provincial city of Nankin, together with Chang Kiang and Yaug Tchou (situated on the right and left banks of the Yangtsekiang, at its junction with the grand canal) are important posts, on which depends the fate of both the northern and southern divisions of the empire ; they must not, therefore, be allowed to fall into the hands of the rebels. But it is necessary now that all the forces should be concentrated, in order that measures should be taken in conjunction for the defence of these points." The occupation of Nankin by the "revolutionary army" would have given the command of the grand canal, and cut off all communications between Pekin and the coast provinces between Nankin and Canton. The insurgents avoided these provinces in their advance northwards (desiring, it is supposed, to prevent the possibility of a collision with Euro peans), but they are the most productive of those at present remaining faithful to the Tartar dynasty. The course of the grand canal offered, moreover, to the insurgent forces by far the most eligible route for an advance on Pekin. The physical and moral effect of the check given to the revolution by the act of foreign interference might yet (if properly improved by themselves) b e th e salvat i on o f th e Tartar dynasty. The policy of foreigners interfering in the inter nal affairs of the Chinese Empire can scarcely be defended. The insurrection is considered by many to be what it professes itself--a great national movement to get rid of an alien dynasty—on far too extended a scale to be crushed by the occupa tion of the mouth of a single river by European vessels of war. But, even were those vessels sent 400 or 500 miles up the river, so as to check the northern progress of the rev o l u ti onary f or ces along the whole of their present base lin e o f o perations, and were the revolution truly altogether stopped for the present, the bolstering up of the Tartar dynasty would be anything but conducive to the progress of enlightenment and the extension of foreign intercourse and commerce in the Chinese Empire. The translations of th e re b e l proc l ama tions which the Chines e p a p ers are now fill e d) convey a very favourable ide a o f th e organ i za ti on and cha racter of the movem en t i n p rogress.

But by far the larger prop or tion of those pro clamations refer to the civil organization of the conquered provinces, andthe es t a blishment or ord er in the neighbourhood of the t arnq There are military officers stringent proclamations against a nd against allowing their troops to plunder, proclamations for the cor rupt civil functionaries ; establishments, pro tection and extension of educational cienerally. The and the encouragement of literatur e education of women is one of the objects of th e of the female insurgents, and over the . _ doors edthere is a notice posted, " on red paper,' schools they have estab , hsh to the effect that they are sacred to the sex, and thatpresuming m en to enter them " in a disorderly any manner will be be headed." The enlighte ned tone of their proclama tions is attributed —partly ...... to the circumstance of 1e r e bel leaders many members of the " Chinese U there being among_t i. lliei , literary society inst tuted by the late knowledge Dr. Guzlabb for the purpose of disseminating a of the results of Euro pean civ ili za ti on among the Chinese, but it is doubtless principally due to the high mental cul ture of a people among whom education in general an d literary acquirements are the only passports to pu bli c d . t . ctio'n e mployment or is in , There is acomplete nor th of China. At Shanghai the British Consul h a s been compelled respon sibility of dispatching vessels without the usual permit from the Chinese Superintendent of Cus toms ; this measure was necessary by reason of the w ant of money to pay the duties and port dues; Hung (Fung), captain-general of the army, having entire superintendence of military affairs, and aiding in the advancement of the T'hae-ping, or great pacificating dynasty, in obedience to the will of Heaven, issues this important and triumphant proclamation, to announce that he has punished the oppressor and saved the people. It appears that throughout the empire rapacious offi cers are worse than violent robbers, and the corrupt mandarins of the public offices are no better than wolves and tigers ; all originating in the vicious and sottish monarch at the head of affairs, who drives honest people to a distance, and admits to his presence the most worthless of mankind, selling offices and dis posing of preferments, while he represses men of vir tuous talent, so that the spirit of avarice is daily in flamed, and high and low are contending together for gain; the rich and great are abandoned to vice without con trol, while the poor and miserable have none to redress their wrongs ; the very recital of which exasperate one's feelings, and makes one's hair stand on end. To refer to the case of the land revenue in particular, it appears that of late the exactions have been increased manifold, while the taxes due up to the thirtieth year of the last King's reign were at one time said to be remitted, and then again exacted, until the resources of tho people are exhausted, and their miseries grown to excess. When our benevolent men and virtuous scholars contemplate these things, their minds are deeply wounded, and they cannot restrain themselves from rooting out these plun dering officers and wolfish mandarins of each prefecture and district, in order to save the people from the flames and floods in which they are now involved. At the present moment our grand army is assembled like clouds, the province of Kwang-se has been settled, and Chang sha* (the capital of Hoo-nan) tranquillised ; and, being now about to proceed towards the region of Kwang-se (qurey, Kiang-si), we deem it necessary to announce to the people that they need not be alarmed ; while agriculturists, mechanics, merchants, and traders, may each peacefully pursue their occupations. It is necessary, however, that the rich should have in readiness stores of ! provisions to aid in the sustenance of our troops ; let each clearly report the amount of their contributions to this object, and we will furnish them with receipts, as security that hereafter the money shall be all repaid. Should there be any bold and strong men or wise counsellors among you, let them with one heart and effort aid us in our great design ; and when tranquillity is restored we will have them pro moted and rewarded according to their merit. All the officers of prefectures and districts who resist us shall be beheaded ; but those who are ready to comply with our requisitions must forthwith send in to us their seals of office, and then they may retire to their native vil lages ; with regard to the rabble of wolfish policemen, we shall, as soon as we succeed, hang up their heads as a warning to all. Being now apprehensive lest local ban ditti should take occasion from our movements to breed disturbances, we wish you people clearly to report the same, and we will immediately exterminate them. If any of the citizens or villagers dare to assist the maraud ing mandarins in their tyranny, and resist our troops and adherents, no matter whether they reside in great or small places, we will sweep them from the face of the earth. Be careful. Do not oppose. A special procla mation. Given in the second year of Theen-tih (on such a) month and (such a) day. The following couplet is appended to the above pro clamation : " Our valiant armies by thousands are preparing to advance on the region of Peking ; and our august monarch once seated in the deep recesses of his palace, will revive the days of Yaou and Shun." LOCAL BANDITTI—AGAINST IDOLATERS. Yang-seu-ts'hing, especially appointed general of the grand army, engaged in sweeping away the Tartars and establishing the now dynasty, issues this second procla mation : I, the general, in obedience to the Royal commands, have put in motion the troops for the punishment of the oppressor, and in every place to which I have come, the enemy at the first report have dispersed like scattered rubbish ; as soon as a city has been captured I have put to death the rapacious man darins and corrupt magistrates therein, but have not injured a single individual of the people, so that all of you may take care of your fa milies, and attend to your business, without alarm and trepidation. I have already issued proclamations to this effect, with which I presume you are acquainted. I have heard, however, that throughout the villages there are numbers of lawless vagabonds, who, previous to the arrival of our troops, take advantage of the dis turbed state of the country to defile men's wives and daughters, and plunder or burn the property of holiest people. I, the general, have already apprehended some of these, and decapitated about a score of them. Now, because their localities are somewhat removed from the provincial capital (Ngan-hwuy), + these persons flatter themselves that I, the general, am not aware of their proceedings, which is very much to be detested ; I have, therefore, sent a great officer named Yuen, as a special messenger, with som e h un d re d s o f so ldi ers, to go through the villages, and as soon as he finds any of these vaga bonds, he is commissioned forthwith to decapitate them ; while the honest inhabitants have nothing more to do than to stick up the word " shun " (obedient) over their doors, and then they have nothing to fear. I would wish to ask those of you who have given of your money, and aided with your provisions (the former Government) in order to purchase titles and official dig nities, what is the glory of such distinctions ? And even those literary honours which the Manchow robbers have conferred at the literary examinations, of what use are they ? I and my followers are all subjects of the Great Chinese Empire, and students of the books handed down by the great sages of antiquity, how then could we stoop to receive rank and emolument from these Mwan-e Manchow barbarians.: Do you, therefore, each one throw away the diplomas which you have received, and deceive yourselves no longer with them. As soon as I have taken Nankin, I will consult about arrangements for the literary examinations, and after having weighed the merits of the respective candidates, I will select the most worthy scholars, and settle the degrees of literary rank to which they are entitled. With regard to the temples and monasteries which belong to the priests of Buddha and Taou, together with the property pos sessed by the brothels and gambling-houses ; it is much better that it should be distributed among the poor people of the villages. At present we are seizing the priests of Buddha and Taou throughout the country and putting them to death, and we are inquiring into those who have been foremost in the building and repair of the Buddhist temples, that we may have them appre hended likewise. When I, the general, have led forward my troops to the destruction of the Manchows, I will deliberate further about the examinations, in which everything shall be re-arranged according to the original customs of the Chinese. Should any disobey our in junctions, as soon as our grand army arrives we will not leave them a dog or a fowl remaining. A special proclamation. - Copied at Ning-kwo-foo (lat. 31 deg. 2 min. N . , long. 118 deg. 40 min. E), about 180 miles of Shanghai, and 100 miles south of Nankin. BY THE IMPERIALISTS. MEANS OF DEFENCE.-GOSSIPS. Woo, provincial judge, intendant of circuit, &c., issues this proclamation for the purpose of conveying clear information. I received, on a previous occasion, an official commu nication from the high officers, stating that " the rebels had disturbed the province of Hoonan ; having been driven from which, they fled into Hoo-pih, and in conse- * From the allusion to the capture of Chang-sha in the body of the proclamation, we may conclude the date to be about the end of January. From the circumstance of Ngan-hwuy being mentioned as the head-quarters of the general at the time when the proclamation was issued, the date must be somewhere about the end of February. 4 .+ It is worthy of remark that tho term B, barbarian, which has been so industriously applied to Europeans by the mandarins, is now given back to their own rulers. It cannot be meant as a compliment in the present instance. [Probably it never is so, and hero it is appropriately ap plied to the Manchus, by those who denounce them as usurpers and intruders iu China,—Ed. C.111.] quence of due p recaut i on not having been taken, the capital city of that province (Woo-gang) was lost : but subsequently an attack had been made on the rebels, when they gave up possession of the city, seized some , boats, andescaped. It i s now to be feared that, pro ceeding in the di rec ti on of the stream, they will move eastward, down th e Yang-tsz-keang. ' lt is necessary, therefore, that for several miles along the northern and southern banks of that river, measures should be taken to stop their progr ess ; a l so that the lorchas and guns, with the milita r y f orce sent from Shanghai, should ge , forward to meet and exterminate the rebels." I have also received another official communication from the high officers, stating their apprehension lest local banditti, hearing this news, should create disturb ances, and commanding that the village braves should be collected and trained, in order to assist in the defence of their various localities. I, the Taoutae, have at tended to this, and have directed the superintendent of the maritime defences, together with the district magis trate of Shanghai, to issue proclamations to that effect as is on record. But it must be observed, that this sending up of the lorchas, with this calling out and train ing of the village braves, are merely measures of pre caution, taken before the evil is really upon us ; and do not show that the rebels have really arrived at the bor ders of Ketng-nan. On the 28th day of the first moon (March 7, 1853), I received a document from the Im perial commissioner and great minister, Luh, governor of Keang-nan, stating that he had already led forth a large army to attack and exterminate the rebels, in conjunction with the troops from the various provinces of Kean-se, Hoo-nan, Hoo-pih, Ho-nan, Shan-tung, and Szechuen, to surround and attack the foe, swearing that he would utterly exterminate the rebel force. Both the land and naval forces belonging to the region of the Yang-tsz-keang are on the alert in every direction ; Chin-Keang and Kwa-chow are also guarded by a large force,. so that we need not be under any apprehension lest the rebels Should run in this direction. Moreover, according to a letter received from the provincial trea surer of Nanking, it appears that "Heang-yung, the general in command in Hoo-pih province, has already , arrived at Kew-keang, to intercept any easterly move ment of the rebels ; while the local banditti in that direction are all dispersed, and we may look for the report of their complete defeat every day." Thus it appears that the rebels are still in the western re gions, and it is not to be supposed that either Kew keang or Ngan k'hing have fallen into their hands. Some mischievous person, fond of making trouble, has invented this story, in order to disturb people's minds. Really such an offence as this could not be atoned for by his death. I have already directed the magistrate of the district to inquire whence the report originated, and now hastily issue this proclamation, informing you merchants and scholars, and requiring the four classes of the people to follow your various occupations, and pursue your com mercial speculations as usual. Do not allow yourselves to be incited by these mischief-makers, to grasp at sha dows and catch the wind ; nor permit your minds to be disturbed, and disorderly remove from place to place, thus bringing yourselves into trouble. If any of you engaged in mercantile speculations, take advantage of these disturbances to get up the price of rice and wood, or shut up your shops, so as to make it difficult for me to keep the place in order, I, the Taoutae, will assuredly punish you according to law, and do not say afterwards that you were not duly warned. Let every one care fully observe this injunction. A special proclamation. Heen-fung, third year, first moon, 29th day (March 18, 1853). HONG KONG, APRIL 11. The mail of the 24th of February from London arrived late last evening, but has not yet been de livered. Since the 28th ult. we have little to report. We have but meagre accounts of the rebellion from the North. The latest date from Shanghai is of the 28th ult., which gives no intelligence that can be depended upon relating to the position of matters at Nankin. All communication with that place seemed cut off. There appeared no doubt of the rebel force investing the city, and a report was current that one of the outer gateshad been forced. Among the various reports circulated there was a prevailing one that Keshen, the former Viceroy of Canton, had made a very successful attack on the rebel force with the Imperial troops, about 150 miles from Nankin, in which many thousands of the rebels are said t o have suffered. Nearer Nan kin, at Taeping, the Imperial force is also said to have defeated 7the rebels with great loss of life. This news requires confirmation. The high Man darin at Shanghai engaged four vessels fully equipped to proceed up the Yanktsekiang to rein force Chekiangfoo. At Shanghai there had been fresh alarm among the brokers and natives from the difficulty of ar riving at the truth as to the state of affairs. The present force off Shanghai is—two British steamers and one brig of war, one French, and one Ameri can steamer. There has been a fair demand for imports at Canton, but the price of goods is lower. Metals are maintained. Rice has advanced in value, and prices are reported high in the north. The business done in tea has been small, and prices show no change. Exchange on England for six months' bills ss. to ss. ld. ; Company's accepted bills, 237 r. to 238 r. per 100. Freights to England 3/. 15s. Two vessels loading, sufficient for wants. Shanghai dates of the 28th ult. mention that business continued almost suspended. Money was scarce, and a large amount is being sent up from this place. Exchange on England nominally ss. 5d per dollar. The United States' steamer Mississippi, Commo dore Perry, arrived here on the 7th inst., and on the 9th inst. the United States' sloop Plymouth was despatched to Shanghai. The sickness in the detachment of the 59th Regi ment is disappearing, and the health of the troops generally is favourable.

" Since the departure of the last steamer nothing has occurred to damp the satisfaction universally felt at the conclusion of the Kafir war. A number of the Hottentot banditti continue to prowl about, and the frontier mail that has just arrived brings intelligence of another mur der ; but these things may be expected, after the conclu sion of such a struggle. "The inquiry into the causes of the rebellion is going on. The commissioners sit with open doors, in the midst of the people whose conduct and affairs generally are the subjects of inquiry. This gives great confidence to the well-disposed, as it is highly creditable to the good sense and foresight of the Governor. No particu lars have yet reached Cape Town. The Natal commis sion followed the same course, also printing the evidence from day to day, as fast as the press could follow them. These open, frank, and fearless proceedings have already produced a most beneficial effect on the public mind. "The crowning event is the arrival of the constitution, which promises to be the panacea for all the colonial grievances. The greatest satisfaction prevails on the announcement of its provisions ; every party is, or ap pears, satisfied. - "A. general illumination is to take place throughout the colony on the Queen's birthday. " The Queen East Indiaman has just arrived." We subjoin the following summary of news from he Cape Town Mail of April 9 : Peace with the Kafirs has at last been pro claimed. Our summary by the Calcutta announced the general cessation of hostilities, and that the paramount chief Sandilli, by crossing the Kei, and thus complying, pro forma, with the terms origi nally dictated by General Cathcart, had opened the way for amicable negotiation. " Messages," professing contrition and humility, were subse quently sent in by the chiefs, which were gra ciously received by his Excellency ; and on the 2d of March the fifth Kafir war was formally closed by a proclamation extending the Royal pardon to Sandilli and the Gaika people. That proclamation further declared that the Amatolas and other lands formerly occupied by the Gaikas having been for feited to the Crown, they would in future be located in a different part of the country, further removed from the colonial frontier, " that is to say the country between the Kei and the Great North Road leading to the Windvogelberg, and bounded on the north by the Thomas River, and south by the country of the chief Umhala. [The conditions have already been published.] The general pardon conveyed in the proclamation is, however, limited to British Kafraria ; Kafirs entering the colony and apprehended there being amenable to justice according to colonial law for any crimes they may have committed within the colony. It is further declared that no Hottentot will be allowed to settle in the country now allotted to the Gaikas without special sanction from the Governor. On the 12th of March, General Cathcart an nounced to the colony " the final and complete submission of all hostile and rebellious Kafirs, and the restoration of a general peace, on a basis which he has reason to hope and believe may prove sound and lasting ;" and he then took the occasion of offer ing " his sincere congratulations to all her Majesty's loyal subjects, who cannot fail to be deeply inte rested in this happy event." His Excellency also at the same time made public the particulars of an interview lie had on the 9th with the chiefs lately in rebellion, when his proclamation grant ing pardon to Sandilli and his associates was read to them. The chiefs present were Sandilli and his son Dundas ; Macomo and his four sons, Numba, Kona, Rihilo, and Quare ; Botman and his son Vandalla ; Umfandi se ( a Sl am bi e chief who had joined the Gaikas), and Doi;a, a brother to Stock, who was not present ; each chief being at tended by his councillors. The number admitted to the conference was about 150. [The address, which was read to them by his Excellency's inter preter, Mr. Ayliff, and the reply of the chief, have already appeared in our columns.] Considerable dissatisfaction has been expressed by the colonists in the more exposed frontier dis tricts, st the apparently indefinite nature of the relations entered into with the Gaika Kafirs, and doubts are freely exsressed as to the stability of a peace which crowds these pastoral tribes into a smaller territory than that they previously occu pied ; but the retention of the Amatolas by a strong military force removes the apprehension of any serious opposition on their part to the terns which his Excellency is now in a position to dictate. Of the degree in which the the Kafirs have been really subdued it were premature to offer an opinion, until the arrangements for fixing the tribes in their new locations shall have been carried into effect. The task which remains for General Cathcart is one of infinitely greater difficulty than that which he has just completed, and requires on his part no ordinary degree of good feeling, prudence, and firmness. On the 14th General Cathcart issued to the troops the following general order, conveying the well merited thanks of their country to the officers and soldiers under his command : "The Commander of the Forces congratulates the army under his command on the termination of the war of rebellion which has troubled the eastern frontier of her Majesty's South African possessions for more than two years, and which at one time, assuming the charac ter, of a war of races, had it not been arrested by their gallantry, perseverance, and unparalleled exertions, must have overwhelmed the inhabitants of the eastern districts of the colony ; and indeed it is impossible t calculate the extent to which the calamity might not have reached. 4 eln conveying his thanks to the army for their meritoriousExcellencypeans,ngdnesoireess, and t loy a l Ho oinelud e those ttentots, colonial levies, services, who, under gallant l ea d ers, no b ly emulated b E is ur o the brilliant examples set the m by h er M ajesty's regular troops. "The field of glory opened to them in a Kafir war and Hottentot rebellion is, possibly, not so favourable and exciting as that which regular warfare with an open enemy in the field affords ; yet the unremitting exer tions called for in hunting well armed, yet skulkinci, savages through the bush, and driving them from their innumerable strongholds are, perhaps, more arduous that those required by regular warfare, and call more constantly for individual exertion and intelligence. " The British soldier, always cheerfully obedient to the call, well knows that when he has done his duty he is sure to obtain the thanks and good opinion of his gracious Queen. " It is his Excellency's duty, and one which he has had the greatest pleasure in performing, to call her Majesty's attention, not only on particular occasions, but generally, to the noble conduct of all officers, no:: : commissioned officers, and soldiers of this army through out i oguatgetdlie; arduousaiiand t they y c n o ) n a t:s r t es i t n i heeded by their gracious Sovereign. will l ca n n o nol ) fail to the total and final I result of their exertions has beer!
