My Trousers and Waistcoats are made To answer both beauty and use ; And MOSES and SON, in their trade, The loveliest patterns produce. As a Hat Mart, I stand at the head, And the best Boots and Shoes I display; And here, I repeat what I've said, That" I'm Monarch of all I survey." Whatever you wish to procure, E.

A sum far more than equal to the value of the policies is invested in the public securities, in the names o; the trustees, so as to be at all times available. At the last quinquennial meeting there was added a bonus to the Life Policies equal to 25 per cent. on the sums paid, and a bonus of 5 per cent. was added to the Shares, in addition to the payment of the annual interest. For the convenience of parties wishing to assure fora specific sum, without a prospective bonus, a new table at lower rates has been calculated, on which, as well as on the participating scale, one-half the premium may remain on interest at 4 per cent. for five years, thus enabling a person to insure his life for 1,0001. on the immediate payment of the premium for 5001. only. The following are the annual Premiums for the Assurance of 1001. for the whole Life, one-half of which may remain for five years by merely paying the interest annually at five per cent.; and should the Policy become a claim iu the interim, the amount due will then be deducted.

We have received, by extraordinary express from Marseilles, our dispatches in anticipation of the Bombay mails to the 15th, of March, a brief sum mary of which appeared in our Wednesday's im pression. From the Punjaub we learn that details of the con spiracy against Tnj Singh and others of the chiefs were every .day coming to light. The religious enthusiasts of Lahore, called the Akhalees, are at the bottom of the whole, and it will require the utmost caution on the part of the Lahore Government to prevent the assassination of some of its leaders. The mode in which all dis.satisfactioila shown in the ,Punjaub is Ili nzutillige t r'Qiittedifr. - We nkay ex pect to hear of such atrocities 'within a short time. The British officers are on the alert to prevent them, but the enthusiasts are Oily waiting their oppor tunity. The death of the notorious Akbar Khan, the son and Wuzeer of Dost Mahomed, of Caubul, is an nounced, but it requires to be confirmed. The cause is said to be delirium tremens—a fit death for such a character. There appear to be intrigues at work at Candahar and Caubul. Persia is said to be the agent of a great European Power in all these intrigues. The British agent sent into Caubul some time back, to recover the prisoners left behind after the retreat from Caubul, has returned; he arrived at Lahore with th e r e scued captives, among wh om i s a European boy, whom Colonel Lawrence has under taken to protect. In Sinde tranquillity prevails ; the hot weather was beginning, yet there was no remarkable sickness. Sir C. Napier had returned to Kurrachee ; he had visited the plains of Meeanee and Dubba, as if, as some maintained, in anticipation of his retirement from Sinde. His enemies are not idle in their old trade of misrepresenting all his actions. The Governor-General was at Ilurdwar on the 10th of February, and the Commander-in-Chief had left Kalka on the 7th. Both those noblemen were preparing to go to Simla, to pass the hot months at that pleasant station. The Nizam's dominions present the same picture of a dilapidated treasury and a miserable people. All sorts of outrages are perpetrated. The present Government of these fine districts of the Deccan is impotent for producing any good ; and some altera tion must speedily be effected to relieve the wretched inhabitants. The arrival at Calcutta of the 252 guns from Lahore took place in the beginning of February, and was the occasion of much rejoicing in tha capital. In Bombay there was much discussion respecting the decisions of the Judges of the Supreme Court in the case of the demurrer against the proceed ings of the plaintiff in the celebrated opium ac tions. The Chief Justice gave judgment in favour of the demurrer ; while the Puisne Judge, in a clear and well-reasoned discourse, gave a contrary opinion. Both these, juetments have been pub. lished, and will be found worthy the attention of those who seek to understand the nature of Indian time-bargains. An appeal, on behalf of the plain tiff, has been sent home against the decision of the new Chief Justice of Bombay. The matter is of great interest to that Presidency, for, if the demurrer be established, it will be difficult to make the native dealers adhere to any pro spective contracts, or promises to take goods at a future day.

From the time we discovered the Sirdar be our enemy, when we ex petted him to have acted as as the mediator betwixt the of beleagured garrison Caubul and the insurgent Ghilzies, he has been the object and slander. Grievously as he of unremitting obloquy has been misrepresented, there seems to have been muc h in his character adverse, to the peace of the state and th e harmony of his father's u house.

This lady had the following letter inserted in the "Times" news paper on Aug. 7, 1846. Reader, remember, this letter was put Into the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me, " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan•street, Borough, takes this oppor tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Griinstone, of the Herbary, High gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using itabout four months, and the whole of her hair is much stronger and mere luxuriant than I ever was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an Ils. bottle If they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in ftund ance, but ac a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet perfume it is far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasnre in answering any lady of respectability to the above fact...-3, Swan-street, Borough." _ . In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, a few drops on the crown of the bead occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and revent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing )(lour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion o the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops is the erown of the heal ; if v:•ry bad, repeat it every quarter of an our. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces air on children's heads in a few appplications. If need on infants' cads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See pamphlet of testimonials.

A larger amount of business has been done than what we reported in our last for the latter half of the last month.

Turkey Red—The inquiry is only confined to best quality. We quote as before Ir. and 7a. to lr. and 12a. per lb.

Metals—English iron continues in demand, but no further improvement has taken place in prices. A sale of 450 candies, of a common assortment, has been reported at 33 rupees. Swedish bars—On the departure of the last mail a 1 sale of 200 candies of unsuitable assortment was effected at 481 rupees, and since two sales of very good assort ment, chiefly consisting of square bars, have been effected, one of 150 candies at 52 rupees, the other of 300 candies at 50 rupees per candy. In other irons, no alteration worthy of notice, excepting in sheets and hoops, on which a decline of one quarter to one-half rupee has taken place. Copper continues in demand. The stock in the first hand is none, and that of the bazaars is very moderate. We therefore expect our present quotations will be maintained for some time to come. Spelter—A speculative inquiry is going on from the European houses, in consequence of its having risen con siderably in England, and therefore 124- to 12} rupees are asked by the bazaar dealers, for a small quantity they hold of their former purchases.

Beer—The celebrated brewers, Allsops, have be come in high favour, and we have heard of sales to the extent of 300 hogsheads being made at 75r. per hogshead of the last October brew, which are expect e d t o arr i ve h ere in the month of April next. In Bass we have heard of sales to the extent of 150 hogsheads at 45r. of the old brew. Of last October brew with their brand we have heard of no sales.

New Dhollerah has also been imported, but as yet in small quantities. Of the old crop there is a large stock on the green, and a decline has taken place, and a further decline is anticipated.

To China it has receded, owing to many large country vessels being put on the berth, and we have heard of an engagement done at 22r. per candy, which are our quo tations of the day. ___ - EXCHANGE.

Since morning a great demand has arisen for bills on England, and the rate has fallen to 2s. Old. and 2s. OP., at which several transactions have been effected. This demand is attributed to the reduction to Is. 101, which took place in the bills of tho Hon. Company on India, of which a large quantity has come by the mail of Saturday last. The rate for Government bills on Bengal has also re ceded, and is now not higher than 98} for sixty days' sight. CALCUTTA. (From the Calcutta Overland Paice Currert.) March B—The Government express of the mail, via Bombay, came to hand on the 23d ult., and put us in pos session of London dates to January 7 ; as, however, business had only recommenced a day or two previous to the dispatch of the mail, the commercial intelligence was not of much importance, except as confirming that brought by the Bentinck. In this market we have but little change to notice, but it anything there has been rather more doing in produce, and even less in imports, the former being induced by the continuance of their advances by Government at the rate of 23. per rupee, and the comparative low prices which the large stocks have compelled holders to accept, and the latter by the continued scarcity of money, the almost entire cessation of purchases throughout the past week in consequence of the 'Endo() featival of the Dole Jattra, and also in a great measure by th e accounts rece i ve d of the high prices ruling at home, inducing holders here in most instances to refrain from offering their goods at the rates now obtainable. Our exchange on England has continued to advance very gradually, 2s. lid. to 2s. lid. being about the rates current for good 10 months' date paper, notwithstanding the rumours which have lately been current as to Go vernment being about to raise their rate, if not to close the narehouso altogether; the former has, however, now been so long delayed, that it does not appear likely that any change will be made until the entire amount of 8,000,000 Company's rupees advertised for has been drawn out, which, however, it most probably will be be fore our next issue, about 3,000,000 having been taken within the past 20 days, and the total amount advanced here being already between 5,000,000 and 5,500,000, ex• elusive of Madras and Bombay. Previous to the receipt of the mail on the 23d ult., freights had rather a downward tendency, but the brisk demand subsequently experienced for tonnage to Great Britain has again caused a steady advance, 61. 15s. to 71. 15s. being the rates now current for dead weight. We have but little change to report in the position of our money market, which continues tight, with no im mediate prospect of relaxation, and Government securi ties and Bank Stock have in consequence declined in value very materially, there being but little disposition manifested to invest in them even at the comiaratively low rates now current. Indigo--Since we last had this pleasure, business has been interrupted by a succession of holidays, in conse quence of which only three public sales were held from the 17th to the end of February, and ono large one since; at which, however, every chest found purchasers at former rates. r The season is now speedily coming to a close, the greater portion of the indigo remaining, being out of the market, having been either sold some time since, or being about to bo shipped on planters' account; of the fertner about 2,000 chests purchased at the sales held in the bonded warehouse will most probably go forward in the course of the week; and the portion which remains to be disposed of will also, we think, soon find purchasers, parties being anxious to take advantage of the favourable rate at which they can now get their advances from Go vernment. The following statement shows the number of chests which have actually gone forward this season (from Ist of November, 1846 to 7th of March, 1847), th a t is t o say, th e quant i ty on board vessels which have actually cleared out for the various ports up to this date, and ex clusive of that laden on vessels which have not as yet applied for clearance:-- Chests. 10,847 513 86 3,837 1,056 598 London Liverpool .

Stocks have of course been considerably reduced, but still appear amply sufficient to meet the probairts demand until the new crop commences to arrive. Khaur and all low sugars continue to be taken for local refinement at compara tively high prices, Exports to Great Britain from the Ist instant up to date amount to 7,075 maunds. Saltpetre—Notwithstandin g the excessive rates now demanded for tonnage a moderate business has been done in this staple for the English market, and the de mand being almost exclusively for fine qualities, which are comparatively scarce, these have maintained their present value; of low and middling Chuprah, however, the stock is extremely heavy, and there being scarcely anything doing for America at present prices aro still looking down.

The holders of Baulsah, finding it almost impossible to get an offer for the English market, were compelled to accept Gr. to 6r.

We have very little change to notice in the position of our money market since the 18th ult., but if anything the tightness then noticed has increased, and as this has been the case in the face of the unusually heavy advances made by Government within the past month, the prospect for the future appears far from encou raging. Government Securities have fluctuated in value very considerably; up to the end of the last month holders were firm at the rate quoted in our last, but have since been giving way, and realising at our quota tiers, whilst even these are obtained with difficulty, and e have heard of operations on less favourable terms to the seller. In Bank Stock also but few transactions have transpired, ther e b e i ng at present but little dis position manifested to invest. CURRENT VALUE OP GONERNMENT SECURITIES, BANK STOCK, &C.

For a few days previous to the receipt of the mail on the 23d ult., the business in produce having slackened, there was less inquiry for tonnage, and some parties anxious to complete their cargo gave orders fur rice as low as 61. 10s. per ton ; subsequently, however, when it was found that the favourable advices brought by the Bentinck were fully confirmed, a decided advance took place, the rate for rice rapidly advancing from 61. 15s. to 71. 10s. to 71. 155., at which it bas of late been steady, with sugar at 71, saltpetre at 61. 155., and indigo and silk at 71. 7s. to 71. 15s. ; there being but little difference betiveen London and Liverpool, except for the latter (indigo and silk), which may be quoted about ss. to 7s. 6d. lower for Liverpool. For most other staples the rates are in a measure no minal, and far too unsettled for us to give quotations with any degree of confidence. In the rates for Mauritius we have not heard of any alteration as yet, shipping crders for rice having been obtained at 2r. 2a. per bag ; but can scarcely think it possible this can last, as vessels will doubtless be taken from that trade and put on for England, should present rates be maintained, as appears probable when the amount of tonnage to arrive is compared with what will be required both here and at Bombay during the next three or four months ; but more especially at the latter port, where the limited number of vessels has already caused a considerable advance, although the new cotton had not commenced to arrive. CHINA. (From the Herald.) HONG-KONG, MARCH I.—A dreadful tragedy occurred on the evening of the 6th ult., in Chirnmo Bay, a small opium station near Amoy, the recei v i ng t wo vesse l s, Omega and Caroline, having been boarded by Chinese pirates, who murdered the captains, officers, and part of the crews of both ships, and carried off an immense booty. The circumstances are as follow: Three days before the catastrophe, two boats, of a different rig from those generally seen in that neigh bourhood, entered the bay; as they were rather suspi cious looking, Captain Macfarlane, of the Omega, sent his serang (native boatswain) on board of them, to ascertain what they wanted. They said they were salt dealers from Hong-Kong. Both boats were heavily armed for their size, as, besides ginjalls and other Chinese weapons, one carried five, and the other six, guns, but apparently without more than sufficient hands to work the boats. The serang wished to look down into the hold, but was not permitted to do so. The gunner was afterwards sent, with orders to bring ono of the Chinamen on board the Omega; but they all re fused to accompany him, but said that if it continued calm they would come next day and bay opium. Two boats sent from the Caroline received no more satisfac. tory answer. In the morning the two boats left the bay, returning to their anchorage in the evening, and this they repeated the following day. On the 6th, however, as they were sailing back they laid them selves one on each side of the Omega, and threw fire balls on the deck. One boarded while the other pro ceeded towards the Caroline, which was lying a short distance off, and took possession of her. The schooners appeared to have been entirely unprepared for resistance, as none of their guns were loaded. The Lascars who were on the deck of the Omega either jumped or were thrown overboard, having barely time to give the alarm to their comrades below, too late, however, for them to offer any resistance, as the pirates battened down the hatches upon them. The officers rushed out of the cabin, but, with the exception of the mate, who must have been immediately killed, ran down again for d arms. The captain and gunner, with their serval? though the tw s I es for some time, till wounded, they defended cabin,nat v e h e e r r s e m , en or seacunnies, o t o f o o k r m r e e f r u fug wereint s the s n e T a e f r t t e e w i r; w nbatsllsretthurronwecrit to the s e e ll a t* cu ee n rand nies eent out th roug h the quarter galleries.
