Government have an nounced the payment, in September next, of the whole of the remainder of the Sicca 5 per Cent. paper. The startling suddenness of this notification took the public completely by surprise, for no one expected that any fur ther financial movement would have been made before the expiration of the period fixed for the payment of the first instalment of the second 5 per Cent. Loan. The Government paper market has consequently become quite deranged.

NOTICE OF DIVIDEND. DANK OF DEPOSIT. 'ATIONAL ASSURANCE & INVESTMENT INDIA "AND CHINA kiang, commanding, the Grand Canal ; but above and below these places the Imperialists have corn man.d of the river. There 'has been no decisive ac tion between the two forces. Imperial Tartar troops are in force around Nankin, the rebels hav ing no outlet except on the water side. The chiefs and followers profess Christianity according to cer tain. forms,. and: destroy all idols and temples. Their chief mover calls himself the younger brother Of Jesus Christ,' and is scarcely visible to any mortal Man. Great fanaticism is said to exist among them, and their belief is that they are des tined by Heaven to succeed. Their acts are a con tradiction to the heavenly rules they profess, among which are the ten commandments, for they boast of having slaughtered 25,000 Tartars, men, women, and children, at the capture of Nankin. They profess great friendship to foreigners, and desire to trade in all articles except opium. " From Amoy our dates are to the 19th instant. The accounts are quite startling. We have heard of rebels or banditti, whatever they may be called, collecting in the neighbourhood, but have now all at once the accounts of the capture, on the 19th, of the city of Arnoy and its citadel, - after a severe fight with the Imperial troops. The rebels were most friendly to foreigners, and sent a guard to protect the factories and British Consulate. Two armed merchant ships were off the Hongs, her Majesty's steamer Rattler, not having returned from a severe conflict with alarge fleet of pirates. All was quiet at Amoy. " Around Foo-chow-foo (a large Tartar garrison) the rebels were in force. About Namoa they were also collecting. " Any decisive success on the part of the rebels in the north would apparently cause a general rise, awt.)9d.to a convulsion 'of the empire, the rebels professing mortal hatred ill - 1111rd the Tartar dynasty and the whole of the Tartar race. .

Long, and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases his proved that there are in exist once secret causes of self-acquired mk , eries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various iorms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitful 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 bow the evil and its eon- equenc es 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 a the only legally qualified rhysictan who, regardless of the taunts and envy of thehypocritical 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 thi• department of practice, he has been amply rev 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.

Total has shown them that such settlements may be sources of direct profit, as well as of strength. When we restored the island of Java to the Dutch, i it yielded us a surplus revenue of 1,000,0001. ster- I ling. - The comparative scantiness of the native American population of the United States is no ob stacle to the formation or maintenance of such set tlements. The number of Anglo-Saxon officials and-officers we employed in governing Java: did not probably exceed 400 or 500, and the Americans could embody and organise whatever Irish or native troops were required for the protection of such set tlements as readily, and probably much more eco nomically and efficiently; than ourselves. " Had the American steam-ship Susquehannali been able to ascend the Yang-tse-kiang, Nankin might have been saved to the Imperialists, and the fate of China possibly changed. This circumstance would seem to point out the utility of attaching as tenders to large vessels of war employed in coast operations small iron steamers of little draught, able to sail or steam, like the Nemesis. This use ful class of steam-vessels has been hitherto alto gether negleCted in the English and American na vies. The present position of affairs in China ren ders it more than ever desirable that the Burmese war should be brought to an immediate termina tion, and the naval force now employed in the Ir rawaddy thereby rendered available for the protec tion of British interests in China. It is, moreover evident that the opium revenue of the Indian Go vernMent can no longer be considered a permanent source of income, and that it therefore becomes 1 essential to devise some means for diminishing, i commensurately, : the expenses of the East India Company's adminiStration of Great Britain. " In the overland summary taken home by this there will be , finind.tlaree petitions to Paa-lia- , ment, two from Bombay and one from Madras , priaying- that no permanent legislation regarding India may be entered into without the fullest in vestigation having taken place, and urging the ne cessity of a Royal Commission in India, in order that its natives may have an opportunity of prov ing the truth of their complaints ' • and a similar petition is in course.of signature at Calcutta. " The Madras petition being the shortest of these, I have selected it for notice, as embodying the substance of them all. The public meeting of the native inhabitants of that capital, which had been convened by the Sheriff for its consideration, took place *on the 21st of May, and was attended by 1,500 natives. The proceedings commenced by the native chairman explaining to the meet ing the object of the petition. He reminded his hearers that the English Ministry had proposed to legislate for India forthwith, though only one of the eight heads into which the inquiry had been divided had as yet been gone through, and that to this one, which embraced only the home and local agencies for administrating the government, Lord Aberdeen intended to con fine the whole of his legislation, leaving the revenue and judicial system and all the other evils complained of in their previous petitions to continue as they are for the period of the renewed charter ;—that a modification of these administrative agencies was of course extremely desirable, but that that alone would produce no change in the internal management of the country; and that, unless the grievances they complained of were thoroughly investigated, and their redress specifically ordered by the Imperial Parliament, the local Governments, left to themselves would refuse investigation, deny their existence, and con tinue them in perpetuity ; that it therefore behoved them again to petition Parliament against the Prime Minister's resolution, and to beg that no permanent legislation might be entered into with out the fullest investigation having previously taken place, and to urge the necessity of a royal commission of inquiry in India, in order that they might have the opportunity of proving the truth of their complaints, and also to repeat their prayer for the reconstitution of the Indian Government on the model of that Ceylon. -- " The petition was then read. It recapitulates shortly the principal grievances and liabilities com plained of by the Queen's Hindoo subjects ; it comments on the one-sided character of the evi dence taken by the Parliamentary committee, pointing out that the witnesses examined were, without a single exception, persons who have received or are in the receipt of benefits from the East India Company ; that from such witnesses it is, of course, impossible that the actual state of stings.cart be correctly ascertained ; that nothing krtV. - alialt*tand : impautial• invetAigation.44ne.Ahia, country; accessible to the complainants as well as to the defendants, can enable Par liament to realise the real state of India and the many and heavy grievances and disabilities under which all the Queen's subjects who are not members of the privileged service labour. They therefore respectfully request that a Royal com mission may be appointed, before whom they may have the opportunity of proving the facts advanced in their former petition. They adduce as a prece dent for such local commissions the appointment in 1814 of the one of which Sir T. Munro was the head, for the purpose, of inquiring into and amend ing the judicial system then obtaining. They com plain of their exclusion from all places of trust and responsibility in their own country, and of all such places being monopolised by a small privileged and exclusive service, composed of foreigners who take no interest whatever in the welfare of the country they govern and whose members, more over, admitted to be no better educated, or other wise qualified for such appointments, than them selves. They also state, that they are deeply hu miliated, and deeply aggrieved, at the unjust dis tinctions made between themselves and her Majesty's other colonial subjects. And the petition concludes with a prayer that a Royal commission —composed of Europeans and natives conjointly, chosen partly in Europe and partly in India—may be issued, to enter upon and complete the necessary investigation in this country. Four or five natives having spoken in illustration of some of the specific grievances complained of, the petition was put to the meeting and unanimously adopted. It is now in course of general signature, and will go home by the, next in.ail.," "The Burmese are busy fortifying positions be tween Meeaday and their capital. The most southern of these posts. is .commanded by Meatoon; and, being situated close to Meeaday, has been re connoitred:by some-of our Tight steamers. It is said that Meatbon boasts his , intention of driving us into the sea, and that the Burmese Government have still faith in his proinises. " The papers lait published by Parliament on the subject of the Burmese war have surprised us much in India, by showing that our energetic Governor-General, rather than General Godwin, is the person answerable for the Fabian conduct of the war. It appears thatLerd Dalhouse considered it more conducive to the prestige of our arms and more expedient in all respects to stand on the de fensive in Pegu than advance on the Burmese capital, merely - to abandon it. He states that such an advanee , would be very' expensive, and that its only fruit would be a treatywith. ,a barbarian Power, whose .treaties were no' S?...eurity for peace and not worth a reed on which 'they are written, and that the retrogression conseqiient on such an advance would' be prejudicial to' the .character of our arms , in the eyes of the adjacent States. The line of policy Lord Dalhou has adopted ---,an armed cessation of hostilities- considered was the one meat, ,penducive to illelirstsge of-our arms and the economy of life and treasure. " But this course has certainly not led to the results he anticipated ; the regular troops in Bur malt, instead of being reduced to 5,000, continue nearly four times that number, the only reduction in their strength haying been by disease and death. The . Calcutta papers have published a return, showing that 1,352 English soldiers, 54 European officers, and upwards of 2,000 sepoys, have died during these protracted and inglorious operations ; , officers and men alike are weakened by disease and. disheartened by inaction, and every steamer from Burmah brings intelligence of further casualties from the climate ; the last brought news of the death of Colonel Coote and three other officers, and of the serious indisposition of Commodore Lambert. By the latest accounts the Burmese were evidently anticipating the advance of our troops on Ava, and all their measures were for defence ; but they will soon learn Lord Dalhousie's intentions from the Indian papers, aid it is to be hoped they will misconstrue the motives of our for bearance, and invade our new provinces sufficiently early in the rainy season to enable us to avail our selves of the Irrawaddy as a high read to the capi tal. It might not be worth our while to retain the northern provinces of the Burmese Empire ; but our allies, the Rajah of Munipore and the King of Siam, would thankfully accept any' territories we considered it inexpedient to annex. " The news from China is of increasing interest. The intelligence seat home by the last mail was most contradictory, even at Shanglai, and so late as the sth of May nothing certain was known re garding the progress of the rebels. Insurgent pro clamations had indeed been received, stating that on the 31st of March our Emperor established the seat of his Government at Nankin, having thoroughly slaughtered the Manchop thieves, not leaving a dog or a fowl remaining • and, accord ing to another account, the city cad been taken by the rebels on the 21st of March (;he discrepancy being probably due to the Chinese reckoning by the lunar 'month) ' • but other accounts stated that, though Nankin had fallen temporarily into the hands of the insurgents, it had been immediately recaptured by the Imperialists, whc had pursued the rebels and signally defeated them with great loss some miles to the southward. A fourth ac count stated that Nankin had not fallen at all. Another alleged insurgent proclamation announced the rebels' intention of marching immediately _ _ against the stinking foreigners at Shanghai, who are not worthy to be considered nen.' On this the said foreigners organized themselves into a militia for self-defence, and Sir G Bonham pro mised, as a matter of course, to mist them but he replied to the requisition of iho local native authorities, for assistance, that would re -Serve..to Ititi self tht d right to e j eteK,... , :line that shoal be pursued when the cirettinsta that should call for interventi* were before` him.' It was stated that the iiino.erican pleni potentiary, as far as he could, was assisting the Imperialists. The American steam-frigate Susque hanna was sent up the Yang-tse-Kiang for the pro tection of Nankin, but from her size die was un able to get up so far, and returned witiout effect ing anything. Meanwhile the greatest uncertainty continuing to prevail at Shanghai, Sir G. Bonham resolved to obtain accurate information for him self, and accordingly made a _trip up tll3 Yang-tse- Kiang in her Majesty's steamship Hermes. He remained five days at Nankin in communication with the insurgents (whom he found had been in possession of the city for more than a month), and returned to Shanghai on the sth of May. The Hermes brought back the astounding intelligence,' says the North China Erera?,d, ' that the insurgents were Christians of the Protestant form 'of worship and anti-idolaters of the strictest order—not merely formal professors of a religious system, but practi cal, spiritual Christians, deeply jammed by the belief that God is always with them.' They treated Sir G. Bonham the interpreter to the Con sulate, Mr. Meadows, with every respect and con sideration, and in a walk of 10 miles through their camp the latter did not hear one of those abusive and derogatory epithets applied to himself or companions which have always been so liberally bestowed on passing foreigners by the heathen Chilies°. " The insurgents had evidently abundance of money, and were busy strengthening themselves in their new acquisitions. The Hong Rong Register objects to Sir G. Bonham's visit to the rebel head , quarters, and to his holding conference with their chiefs (though even only for the purpose of ex plaining to them that he intended to remain neutral), as a moral backing of their cause—in compatible with his profession of strict neutrality, of which the insurgents cannot fail to take advan tage, and. of which the Imperialist Government may justly complain. The same paper ridicules the idea of the practical Christianity of the insur gents ; it has long been notorious that several Chinese who had received a missionary education were among the rebel leaders ; and, with the know ledge that the English and Americus were Pro testant Christians, some of these were probably put forward as samples with a view to impose on the British Plenipotentiary and to enlist the sym pathies of English and American Christians. "It, however, appears certain that there is a good deal of professed Christianity imong the in surgents. When the late Dr. Gutzlaff was last in Europe a native Chinese society h 3 had formed, called the Christian Union,' was broken up, and many of its members are known to be among the leaders of the present movement, The Hong Kong Register states, that at the late interview at Nankin one of the rebel leaders made mention of Dr. Hob son, of the London Missionary Society at Canton, We have received by this mail two letters from and said that in his hospital, when under medical our correspondent.

The passengers and the greater number of the crew got safe on shore; 31 of the latter are missing. The mails were lost. " The affair of the French flagstaff, and the out rage on the two Englishraen, aro in a measure set tled, his Excellency the French Minister, M. Bourbillon, having made an apology or statement throwing blame upon Commodore Roquemaurel, who has not been equally open and candid in his ' explanation, which can hardly be construed into an apology for the outrage. " The matter will no doubt be left to the respec tive Governments, for it is clearly the interest of us all, and particularly iu the present state of affairs in China, to cultivate the most friendly under standing with the French and all other nations, and we believe this feeling prevails throughout the community at Canton." The second letter, dated Juue 7, is as follows : " The Peninsularand Oriental Company's steamer Malta, with the English mail of the 25th of April, arrived this morning, bat the letters cannot be de livered till after the departure of the mail; at two p.m. " His Excellency Sir George Bonham, returned to the colony from Shanghai on the 26th ult. in her Majesty'ssteamerHermes.

" From Shanghai we have dates to the Ist inst., and intelligence from Nankin to the 28th ult. " With reference to the rebellion, we have little to add to our report of the 24th ult. Nankin re mained in possession of the rebels, and no move ment of importance had taken place between them and the Imperial troops ; the latter were still in force around the city. It was thought the insur gents would not proceed north till the cold weather set in, having abundance of supplies. Great efforts are being made by the Imperial General with the view of taking Chin-kiang-foo. " It is reported that risings are occurring in other parts of the empire, and not connected with the insurgent party at Nankin. "We have dates from Amoy to the 2d inst. On the 29th ult. the Imperialists made an attempt to retake the place, which failed. There was some severe fighting, and many were killed on both sides.

" The official accounts of the conflict of her Ma jesty's steamer Rattler, with the pirates on the coast have been received, and we regret to report Second Lieutenant Pidcock and two seamen killed, and five of a boat's crew severely wounded. The prisoners and junks were 'handed over to the Chinese authorities at Fohchow.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. THE BOMBAY MARKET. MONDAY, June 20. We can offer a few remarks on the present state of the market, as all transactions are closed, owing to the te set ting in of the rains, which are most favour able, and the few sales which take place cannot be considered a, ruling generally. We therefore merely quote these sales, which are-gray madapoliaths, 4,500 pieces, at 2r. 21a. to 2r. 3a. ; gray shirtings, of 40-in cb, 1,600 pieces, at 3r. 3.1 a. to 4r. 13a. ; of 45 and 50-inch, 4,550 pieces, at sr. 7a. to Cr.

The Madras steamer arrived on the morning of the 14th inst., bringing London dates to the 9th of May. The commercial intelligence is more satisfactory than it was on tho last occasion. Rain has fallen generally in Bengal, but our advices from the indigo districts are still unsatisfactory, and the prospects of the crop, owing to :the advanced period of the season, continue uncertain. The shipments of indigo up to . the 4th inst. amount to 25,962 chests, containing fy. mds. 97,732, of which 14,391 chests have gone to Great Britain and 3,120 to France. _ _ ' A moderate business only has been done in sugar ; stocks are, however, light. Vacuum pan sorts continue in good demand, at an advance on qualities suitable for Australia. The market is yet but sparingly supplied with saltpetre, and that of inferior quality. The reduc tion in the rates of freight have had the effect of increas ing the exports of rice to a small extent. Safflower re mains without change ; the shipments of this dye to Great Britain from the opening of the season to date amount to 2,642 mds, The report of the victorious pro.

PORTSMOUTH The first general meeting bf this company was held yesterday, at the offices, Great (keOrge-street, Westmin ster ; Mr. Alowatt in the chair. Mr. G. W. HORNE, the secretary, read the report, from which we take the following extracts : " The directors have much satisfaction in meeting the shareholders at the earliest opportunity possible, wider the company's act of incorporation, which received the Royal assent on the Bth inst. only. " Although the bill was strenuously opposed in its early stages by rival railway interests, it was finally carill.. through Parliament with but little del a y , and, what is o still more importance, at very little expense, incurred t co im st e ,forengi n in ears ob , ta s in on i e ng it t rs h , e and other u Pto the whole haer present not exceeding 14,0001. " With the double view of insuring the construction of the lino within a limited period, and at a definite cost, the directors have entered into a provisional contract with Mr. Brassey, by which he has engaged to make and deliver over the line within a period of two years, for the fixed sum of 350,000/. "For this amount he has undertaken to supply one en tire single line of railway, together with land, b r id ges , anct t un nels for a double line, and all stations and fixed plant, he further engaging to pay the ordinary agricultural value of all the lands required, together with damage of every description, leaving the company only to defray the extra cost in those cases where an amount-in excess of this value will have to be paid. " The additional sum for which the company will become liable for land under this arrangement the directors are of opinion will not exceed 7,000/. or 8,000/. in the whole. " This contract will be now submitted for the approval of the shareholders, and the directors have no hesitation in recommending it earnestly for their adoption. " With the view of enabling the shareholders to make provision for the payment of calls with the greatest cony& nience to themselves, the directors have, with the assistance of the engineers, prepared the following approximate esti mate of the periods at which calls will be required to be paid; viz.:-- • • _ InNevember; 1853, £2, yielding ' - March, 1854, £2, „ :June, .1854,.
