The Frankfort Journal of the 20th inst. publishes the following letter, dated Konigsberg, the 13th " We have received at this moment accounts of dis turbances at Labiau. A merchant brig laden with wheat having sprung a leak, the captain sold the cargo at a moderate price to the neighbouring peasants. Almost at the same time some wholesale merchants arrived and proposed to purchase the entire cargo in bulk. The peasants oppo..ed the sale, and a collision ensued in which one life was sacrificed.' A letter dated Konigsberg, the 16th inst., states that 700 Jews of that city had agreed to transfer the celebration of their sabbath from Saturday to Sunday. This measure is regarded as a remarkable proof of the tendency felt by the Jews to assimilate themselves to Christians in religious practices. On the 14th the Society of the Citizens of Altona, in the Duchy of Holstein, held a general assembly, at which they almost unanimously adopted a petition to the States, praying that Jews may enjoy the same civil and political rights as their Christian fel low. citizens. The Emperor of Russia has just published a ukase, declaring that from the present time to the end of 1851 a duty of 15 effective kopeks (60 centimes) per ton, shall be levied on the freight of all native and foreign ships leaving the port of Riga. The proceeds are destined to the improvement of the port. A letter, dated Constantinople, 7th instant, says— " The Porte has not yet adopted any measure against the Greek trade or the Greek subjects residing in its dominions. The neighbouring provinces are tranquil. No movement of troops has taken place on the fron tier. The armament of the fleet, however, is terminated, and in the course of about ten days it will be able to sail for the Mediterranean, under the command of the Capi tan Pasha. The disbanding of the soldiers of the regu lar army who have completed their five years' service commenced on Wednesday, and was concluded to-day. That operation was conducted with considerable pomp, amidst numerous salutes of artillery, and in presence of the Sultan, all the Ministers and high func tionaries of the State. To-morrow we are to have a grand ceremony in the arsenal on the occasion of the launching of two steam-frigates of 500 hone power. The account of the appointment of a Persian Ambassador to Paris is confirmed. The choice of the Cabin( t of Teheran has fallen upon Mitzl. Mehemet-Aly-Khan, who was to leave for France on the 2,1 of Apt il, accompanied by M. Vida), a dragoman of the French mi, - sion in Persia. It appears that, in con sequence of the unfriendly relations existing bet Keen Turkey and Persia, Mirza Mehemet-Aly- Khan will not pass through Constantinople, and that he is to proceed through Bagdad, Messul, and Orla, to Beyrout. Large bodies of troops were concentrated at Teheran, and re viewed by the Prince Royal and by the Schah in person. Orders had been issued to prepare several millions of rations of biscuit, and everything looked as if Persia was meditating some exptdition. It was believed at Teheran that this army had been assembled on account of the apprehensions inspired to the Persian Govern ment by the concentration of the Turkish troops at Kharpout to reduce Beder-Khan-Bey and the other Kurdish chiefs. Aly Khan is en important personage, ho was charged with the direction of the department of foreign affairs since the death of Abboul-Hassan- Khan. He has already visited Europe, and occupied the post of Secretary of Legation at Vienna and St. Petersburg." We read in a letter from Alexandria of the 9th : ' "Since his return to Alexandria his Highness the Viceroy has occupied himself almost exclusively with the interests of commerce. During his absence com plaints were addressed to the Minister of Commerce relative to the delays which merchants sustain in the descent of their goods. The complaints often remained without effect. His Highness, in order to put an end to these inconveniences, has just ordert-d that two railways shall be constructed on the principal places of embarka tion, and that a greater number of boats shall be pliccd at the disposal of traders. A new departure to France of young Egyptians and Europeans will shortly take place. His Highness influenced by the sentiments of kindness towards the inhabitants of Egypt which characterise him, has.deigned, on the demand of several European fami lies, to accord the favour of allowing their children to be educated in the Egyptian college at Paris. These young people will follow the same courses of lectures and make the same studies as the Egyptian pupils. Orders have been given to Ibrahim Pacha, who is at present at Cairo, to begin as 800.11 us possible the three canals destined to irrigate Lower Egypt, viz., in Cherkhie, Behera, and Garbich. The steamer of to-day conveys to France M. Barrot, Consul-General of France in Egypt, and his family. This gentleman is highly esteemed amongst us, for on all occasions he has given proofs of high intelligence and energy. The French subjects here have manifested all their sympathy to• wards him, and in a banquet which took place on the 6th, in the great Hotel d'Orient, nothing was spared to render homage Lo the Consul-General of France. At the end of the repast M. Paiii4 gave a toast to the King and institutions. M, Barrot replied with great dignity, and his speech was frequently interrupted by applause. General Gather Bey gave the health of M. Barrot, and M. Benedetti, Consul at Cairo, gave a toast to the pros of ....welt-v. Th. which WA.O vary brinitaut, was prolonged to a late hour." Madrid journals of the 16th and 17th instant have arrived. Senor SALIMANCA had been dispatched by the QUEEN to the Prado, to endeavour to persuade the KING CONSORT to join the Royal party at Aranjuez, but had not succeeded in the object of his mission. The rumours of an intended modification in the Cabinet had subsided. Some of the Ministers have, it is said, advised that ESPARTERO should be created a senator, and have all his honours restored to him, on condition that he should remain abroad some little time longer. The Clamor Public° denies that ESPAR TERO has asked any favour of the Court, or of the Government. Seville has been freed from martial-law, tranquillity having been completely restored. General NOGUERAS was expected daily at Cadiz from Gibraltar. King LOUIS PHILIPPE has made the QUEEN a present of eight magnificent Anglo-Arab horses. General RoDIL arrived in Madrid on the 16th. Letters from Badajoz of the 11th state that the preparations of the army of observation for marching into Portugal were complete. General MANUEL CONCHA, however, who is to take the command of it, has not yet left Madrid. MADRID Bot.sa, MAY 17.—The Three per Cents. were done at 30% for cash ; the Four per Cents. at 18 3 4 ; the Five per Cents. at 19 ; the Debt without Interest at 5%; and the Coupons at 16. We have received the Paris papers of Friday and Saturday. In the Moniteur of Friday we find a royal ordon nanee, regulating the postage of letters; journals, &c., forwarded by the trans-Atlantic steamers plying between Havre and New York. The postage .of a single letter is fixed at 1 franc, besides the territorial postage of 10 centimes. Journals, periodicals, un bound books, pamphlets, catalogues, printed •mmie, &c., will pay 10 centimes per journal or sheet, be sides the territorial postage. In the papers of Saturday we find it announced that Mr. O'CONNELL died at Genoa on Saturday, the 15th instant. A letter from Turin of the 17th an nounces the melancholy event in these words :—" The most remarkable man of the age, DANIEL O'CON NELL, died at Genoa on Saturday." In another column we have given the remarks of some of the French papers on this subject, but although our Paris contemporaries seem inclined to give implicit belief to this announcement made by their Turin cor respondent, we still think that the rumour re quires confirmation, inasmuch as it is entirely at variance with the statement which appeared in the second edition of the Atlas of Saturday, and which said :—" We are in receipt of a private letter this morning from Florence, dated May 13th, by which we are enabled to set at rest the anxiety of Mr. O'CONNELL 'S friends respecting the above report. It gives us pleasure to state that Mr. O'CONNELL was then on his way to Rome, and apparently recovered from the attack which seized him at Genoa. The writer says— " Mr. O'Connell and his son, Mr. D. O'Connell, jun., with th Rev. Dr. Miley and his private physician, have arrived at Leghorn, from whence they proceed by the steamer to Civita Vecchia, and Rome, where he is to remain a short time; after which he comes to Florence to pass the summer months at a villa." If Mr. O'CONNELL were at Leghorn en route for Rome on the 13th, it is somewhat singular that he should have afterwards gone back to Genoa, which he must have done, if it be true that he died in that city on the 15th. Our hope is, that 21r.O'CortNELL is at this moment alive. In the committee on the Budget, on Saturday, the Minister of Public Works consented to abandon several credits which had been asked for by his pre decessor. These reductions, liowever, are not suffi cient to propitiate the enemies of the Ministry. The Budget will undergo a most severe scrutiny in the Chamber, ani as the enforcement of economy in the expenditure is a point on which progressive Conser vatives and Legitimatists may unite with the Dynastic Opposition and the Republi,:ans against the Ministry, it is not at all improbable that U. GUIZOT may find himself in a minority.

Inman e4int+ LONDON, TUESDAY, MAY 25, 1847. Assuming the report of DANIEL O'CONNELL's death to be authentic, it becomes our sorrowful duty to consider the consequences that may result from the sudden departure of a man who has exercised such an extraordinary influence over the character of his age, and rendered himself the most conspicuous personage in the history of Ireland. His demise at any period must have been an important calamity, not only in the consideration of his fellow-country men, but in the estimation of the whole civilized world. At this lamentable crisis, when the Irish peasantry are dying by thousands from starvation and pestilence, when the solemn pageantry of the triduum is winding about their cathedrals, lamenting the woe s of Erin, and supplicating the balms of DIVINE PRO VIDENCE; at this particular moment, when the final desolation seems to have descended upon the island, the death of the great man 18 hotn Ireland has emphatically christened her Liberator becomes a matter of paramount and even supreme interest. Until the intelligence of the dissolution of O'CONNELL at Genoa, on the evening of Saturday, the 15th ult. be fully corroborated, we shall continue sanguine that it may prove altogether unfounded. We shall hope—earnestly, and ardently, and un• ceasingly hope—that accounts of such a disastrous nature have originated only in a cruel deception ; for the continued existence of the Irish Liberator has long remained the sole guarantee for the quietude and subordination of his compatriots. Should his career have actually terminated, it is im possible to conjecture the futurity reserved for Ireland ; it is impossible to say whether she will still preserve her obedierce to the con stitution, or permit the ebullition of her long suppresed hostility ; whether, in short, the politicians who have seceded from Conciliation Hall, under the guidance of WILLIAM SMITH O'BRIEN, may not, by their ill-advised advocacy of physical force, goad the afflicted populace to some frightful act of desperation. Instead of the impassioned but pacific adjurations of O'CONNELL, the Irish will, in the event of his de mise, be stung to frenzy by the oratory of the Young Irelanders. Erin will revert, in thought it is true, to the days when DANIEL O'CONNELL wielded the sceptre of popularity. In the first ecstacy of her sorrow she will remember, as the Courrier Francais very beautifully exclaims, "that magic and inspir?d voice which t•he will hear no more ; that ardent soul which animated an entire people with its breath ; that eloquence winged like a canticle, melancholy like a psalm, varied like- a drama, and through which occasionally passed the disordered inspiration of ancient prophets!' Yes, the children of Ireland will mourn for the depar ture of their political chieftain, because, like the Univers, they regard him as "a great servant of Got, a great ser vant of Man, a great and sincere apostle of Liberty." There will be lamentations in the sister island for the loss of him whom the Roman Catholic Count DE MONTALEMBERT addressed as " the most • illus trious Roman Catholic layman in the world," for they cannot lose the recollection of the inestimable blessings they have received through his instrumentality, they cannot forget that it was DANIEL O'CONNELL who gained for them Roman Catholic emancipation, thereby earning for himself the almost sublime title of THE LIBERATOR, and enrolling his name among the most eminent of the champions of civil and religious liberty. That must infallibly be the effect of such lamentable though dubious news as that which .is at present • eliciting our • OiervatiOns,, , whenever it reaches Ireland properly confirmed and authen ticated. After the first paroxysm of Irish grief, however, it is very much to be dreaded that ft,. ..,,,, ) ,,p1 ~a b..,a al raari j , i....iirrta I. orl will 41.11,-...., When the factious ranters of the Dublin Rotunda are apostrophizing the star-spangled banner of the United States as their only surety of redemption from the despotism ,of a Saxon Government ; when an O'BRIEN has become the panegyrist of pikes, and a MEAGHER the advocate of armed demonstrations ; when the Nation newspaper is uttering curses upon the union-jAck, and stigmatizing the present advisers of our Most Gracious SOVEREIGN as the deliberate murderers of the people, it is surely no exaggerated anticipation that the death of the Liberator must pace his country in the most imminent jeopardy. Hence, therefore, are we most solicitous that this dismal, but still doubtful, intelligence may prove al together unfounded. The life of DANIEL O'CONNELL has been the talisman of peace to Ireland ; if that life be brought to an abrupt close, the talisman will be broken, and famine and pestilence will not long continue the only curses of the peasantry. The Overland Mail from India, with intelligence from Bombay to the 15th of April, and from Calcutta to the Bth ultimo, is unusually barren of news either from China or from cur Eastern dominions. The commentaries of the local press have chiefly ranged upon the death of ARBAR KHAN, its immediate cause, the policy in which he was inclined to plunge before his career was brought to a sudden and fatal termination, and the probable political consequences of the same. Different as are most of the ac,:ounto the inference appears very strong that the Wuzeer was carried off by poison ; and though his name will be chiefly known to history as the infamous instigator of the assassination of Sir WILLIAM 11PNAUGHTEN, and the implacable enemy of British rule, every one must recoil at the horrible means by which his doom has been sealed. His hatred to the English con tinued to the last : he left a considerable sum to be expended in the resumption of hostilities, to which it is said a large addition has already been made by others of his relatives. The DOST himself subse quently repaired to Jellalabad, and the impression seems to be that he will continue to co-operate for the maintenance of good faith between himself and the authorities of the British Crown. Affairs throughout the Punjaub are most remarkably tranquil, so that the inhabitants themselves can scarcely believe their country was se recently the arena of severe martial conflicts. The Skekawattee country is suffering terribly from the predatory warfare pursued by the robber-chief DOONGIIUR SINGU. Public apprehension has risen to such a height that merchants are afraid to purchase in the marts, lest the emissaries of this redoubted robber, who are spread in all directions, should seize the com modities during their conveyance to the consignees. Government has given its aid to overcome these desperadoes, who are being most actively followed throughout the Rajawara districts by our military forces. In the NIZAM'S dominions the usual perplexity and mismanagement characterise all the proceedings connected with its Government. The tlooinsoor country hai been in a great measure relieved from the disturbances which have so long disgraced it. The fanatical fury of the Goomsurs in everything relating to their superstitious rites is such that nothing short of a powerful force, combined with energetic counsels, can preserve peace amongst these infatuated barbarians. the th e m s e a e r k t e e h t s a m h d u c l h r d e h e p w r e e s r s e e d m .

The QUEEN was re. established at Ota- Leite in all her rights and authorities, which she is henceforth to exercise as the QUEEN recognised by the Government of the Protectorate.

The second part of the sitting was employed in completing the interrogatory of General Cubieres on different points, resulting either from the depositions of the different witnesses, or the interrogations of Messrs.

The National confirms the statement made a few days since, that a correspondence between the Due DE BouRDEAUX and one of the leaders of the Legiti matist party in Paris, had fallen into the hands of the police. The Journal des Debats has the following on the affairs of Portugal : " By recent letters from Portugal, we learn that the Junta of Oporto has &finitely tetused the propositions of arrangement which the English Envoy, Colonel Wilde, conveyed to it on behalf of the Government of the Queen of PurLugal and of the Government Of the Queen of England. As lung as the civil war, which bas'con tinned during several months in Portugal, did not di rectly menace the royal authority and the throne of the Queen Donna Maria, there was no reason to apply iht, stipulations of the treaty of the Quadruple Alliance; but, in consequence of the last events, we have reason to believe that these stipulations will be put in execution, and thet measures will be concerted between the Powers which signed the treaty for putting an end to the civil war and reestablishing iho authority of the Queen." - - M JOSE ARMERO DE Ruiz, the Mexican Consul at Marseilles, has sent in a protest to the Chan.ber of Commerce of that town, in the name of his Govern ment, against the decree of the American Government opening the trade of the several ports of Ahxico which are, or may be, in possession of American troops to the trade of neutral nations, upon Customs duties differing from those fixed by the Mexican tariff; for the benefit of the Union, under the pretence of a war indemnity.

TIIE JESUIT AT CAMBRIDGE. —A new work of an extraordinary character from the pen of Sir George Stephen, has just appeared under the title of " The Jesuit at Csmbridge. It is a narrative of events sup posed to have occurred at the university, thrown into the form of a novel ; the principle personages both Catholic and Protestant, having been drawn, it is said, from existing originals, and the whole movement to wards Popery displayed and illustrated in a manner as entertaining as it is truth-like. We are, indeed, very much inclined to discredit the author's statement that the work is but partially founded on tact ; for extra ordinary as some of the incidents would be in real life, there is so much probability in the narrative, that they seems introduced to preclude any recognition of personat ide"tity- This clever work will doubtless be perused with deep interest even by the ordinary novel reader, and at our univer.iiies it will not cialy be read but studied. Tun NEW NOVELS.—Among the many works of distinguished novelists for which this season has been remarkable, the following may be regarded at: among the most popular :—Mrs. Trollop Turee Cousins, and "Father Euwace," Mrs. Gascoigne's .6 Evelyn Har court," Mrs. Gore's " Temptation and Atonement," Mrs. Crowe's "Story of Lilly Dawson," and the author of " Whitefriars' " historical romance of " Cvesar Borgia " BREAD TICKETS AT VIENNA.—On the 12th the municipality of Vienna began to distribute tickets to the poorer classes to enable them to purchase bread at less than the market price. The house of liothschild gave a sum of 3.000 florins (about 3120 to increase the number of st ch tickets. . MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From The Sun of Last Night.) The Cotton market, at Liverpool, on Saturday was firm, prices being fully supported. Sales about 4,000 I bales, including 3,000 American at 6 d. to 71,t 300 ligyp. tian, at 72(1. to 9d., and 100 Surat at 4d. to 41d. per lb. I Of the American, 500 bales were taken for exportation, and 500 on speculation. There was an impte ve:l demand for Shares, with considerable buying at advancing prices. There are no later ship arrivals to-day from any quarter beyond the usual Continental mails, and the ex press with the Overland dispatches. The accounts from India are considered satisfactory it: reference to political matters, but are not encouraging upon the subject of trade, which appears to have been dull. There is a most decided fall in wheat to day, viz., full 6s. per quarter, compared with Monday last, and ere long we trust it may be in our power to record another important retrograde movement that will test the strength of holders, and prove whether corn is really as scarce as pretended. Farmers may flatter themselves with the prospect of higher rates, and perhaps it the-y can hold on until just before the harvest they may get almost as good prices as now, but in the interim there must be a fall. A* we are glad to notice even individual efforts to cheapen food, we give publicity to the following circular of a City baker, who, we trust, may succeed in setting a good example. This party states— '" At a cri-is like the present, it is the duty of every individual of the community, however high, or however low, to contribute and to bear his share of general dis tress now prose:fling, partly from a failure of one portion of the food of the people, and partly from speculation, consequent upon that failure. lam willing to forego any advantage that might accrue to myself should a further advance take place in the price of Wheat, by not charging more than one shilling per 41b. loaf for one month (to my customers only), and if a dozen respect able bakers would join me in my views, I feel convinced that we should materially influence the market; and, moreover, by that time (the 22d June) we could form a better idea of the forthcoming harvest, and the probable amount of importation. " N.B —Bread might be economised greatly in families by the use of rice, plain boiled at dinner, a pound of which at threepenve, would be enough for nine persons; it is not in much estimation, because it is generally not well prepared, but nothing is more simple, trz.—llave a gallon of water b cling—throw in one pound of whole rice—one ounce of salt, let it boil twenty minutes, turn it up into a sieve, let it drain for a few minutes, take a cauple of forks and toss it up to make it light." There has not been a great deal of business doing in the Stock Market, but the effect of the decline in grain has been to raise Consols about * per cent., although a blight reaction has occurred since, consequent upon the sales of those who bought lower last week, and desire to realise profits. The arrange ments for settling the account likewise influence prices, and it is still asserted that the Bulls are the weakest party. The value of Con sols for transfer to-morrow is 874 to 87 1 's, and for July about 88 to 888. Exchequer-bills realise par to 2s. premium again. The New Three-and-a-quarter pt• r Cents. are 871 to 88, and the Three per Cents. 868 4. East India Stock has been at 242.

TATTERSALL'S—MONDAY. Business was almost entirely confined to paying small accounts, and in checking the larger balances tor tin settling in chief, which takes place this afternoon, and which, from all that we can learn, is likely to be an easy one. Nothing has yet been done with regard to the tw, plates on Friday, but as one gentleman has declared his intention nut to pay on Glorfs race, the matter, as wi stated on Saturday, must come before the stewards. That it was a very gross case seems to be beyond a ques tion ; we trust, therefore, that the guilty parties will b e exposed, and that it will lead to the abolition cf beats at Epsom, and all other respectable meetings.

His Imperial Highness was c u.ducti-d over tht., New House ut Lords by Mr. Puiman the Deputy Usher of the Black Rod, and expressed himself greatly astonished with the magnificence of the building and its interior decorations. His Imperial Highness afterwards visited Westminster Abbey. OVEB LAND VAIL INDIA AN L) CI-11NA. (From the Times.) We have received by express from Marseilles our dispatches in anticipation of the Overl.nd Calcutta Mail. The dates are from Calcutta to the 7th, and from Bombay to the 15th of April. The hot season was beginniiw, and the usual result of general quiet at that period was anticipated. The death of Akbar Khan, who is allowed to have died from sudden sickness (poison), had paralyzed all the schemes of his partisans. Nothing of his plans had transpired, but it seems evident that he contemplated up to the time of his death to have a conflict (religi ous war) with the English. His father was averse to his acts, and, according to A ffghan morality, the notorious son was sacrificed to remove his father from difficulties. Strange to say, Akbar Khan or dered his body to be interred in Balk, whither it had been removed with ceremony. his father, Dust Mahommed, had since gone from Cabul to Jellabibad, to settle all that Akbar Khan had left there in a dis turbed state. In Lahore tranquility prevailed ; there were not even any rumours of disturbances. Ghoolab Singh is described as busy in his new states, extracting money as fast as he can from his suljects. At Lucknow there was a commotion, arising from the new Sovereign having ordered that a temple, which was said to have been polluted by the Mahu medans, should be pulled down. The various reli gious sects got quarrelling on the. subject, and they had got to blows. In the Nizam's dominions the state of the Go vernment was far from being satisfactory. The new Minister and the Nizam were not on good terms, and the result was that the affairs of the Govern ment were far from being improved. On the con trary, they were deteriorating daily, so that an out break may be expected ere long-. It is feared that some foreign intrigues are at work in the capital of the Deccan. There are disturbances in the Rajwarra districts, caused by a freeboter named Dhoongher Singh, who, at the head of about 4,000 men, sometimes shows in one place and soon after in another distant one. Ile attacked Ranghur, plundered several villages, took black mail from others, burned several dwellings, and then started off towards Bickaneer. The latest news is that he has gone in the direction of the Sirsa iungles. The British troops had then to pursue him, for otherwise the native chiefs would make no exer tions. The inhabitants around Aj there and Nussera bad were terrified with the ferocious proceedings of this band, which must be put down to prevent much greater confusion. The results of the plundering were felt in the markets at Bombay, for the native Inn chants dreaded to make purchases of cotton goods, &c., ' which they could not convey to their destination by the usual routes. The disturbances in the Rajpoot districts are cal culated to augment the traffic on the Indus ; but the monsoon, which sets in at the mouth of that river in May, will prevent all communications until the begin ning of September. Sinde was tranquil and healthy. Sir Charles Napier, who had been slightly indisposed, was at Kurrachee. Nothing was said of the late invasion of the Seebee country by the troops from Candabar. fhe camel corps, and other corps, were ordered to be put in an efficient state. Rumour alluded to the pro bable resignation of Sir Chard, s Napier ; but nothing positive was known on the subject. The subscriptions for the Irish and Scotch poor were considerable at Calcutta and Bombay. Madras was about to follow their example. There was some disappointment felt f.tt the manner in which the railway schemes were suffered to fall to the ground ; for many persons were sanguine as to the benefit likely to arise to India from them. Lords llardinge and Gough were at Simla, where they intend to remain during the hot season. The new Governor of Bombay continued to be popular. Some of his acts proved his determination to carry on his government with resolution and dependence. The Commander•inChief, Sir Willoughby Cotton, reached Bombay on the Bth of April, and was sworn into office on that day. 234 109 CHINA. We have intelligence from Mpg Kong to the 29th of March inclusive. We take the following summary from the Friend of China : "During the month the weather has been unsettled, the thermometer ranging at times as high as 82 degrees, with a good deal of rain, and, as is usual at this season, thunder storms. At Canton the heat has been oppres sive, and the residents are engaging houses tor the summer at Macao. "It is said that Sir John Davis proceeds north in her dajesty's steamer Vulture, ane that he will visit Pekin, having full power to treat for the pievention of riot, at Canton. Aitt-r leaving Pekin he will visit Japan, and endeavour to open a trade with that country. " The American treaty has afforded the local papers a subject for discussion. Though concluder as far back as the 3d of July, 1844, the United States has not granted to her Consuls the judicial powers s.ipulated for; and in consequence, as China has surrendered her right to ad judicate in civil and criminal cases where the citiz.,ns are concerned; they are in the unenviable position of being, subject to no . law whatever. It is thought that the pre sent session of Congress will pass au Act granting to Consuls the' necessary powers to carry out the treaty with China in good faith. " The local Government has given another proof of the arbitrary and unjust manner in which it deals with. the native inhabitants. An ordinance, recently passed, contains a clause for the registration of votes, a mea sure which is in itself commendable, if it had been car ried into effect with a due regard to equity. By api e eious Act the greater portion of the boats wet e regis tered, paying for their registration and license an annual fee of two dollars. Meet of these licences were wax. pired when the new law, imposing tees of from five ter ten dollars upon each boat, came into operation. I. may be supposed that the proprietors of registered boats would have been permitted to use the licenses they had purchased until their expiration, when they would b. renewed at the higher rate. This simple and equitahle view of the matter did not suit the policy of Sir' .1.

There is no doubt that it was planted here, and Chinese connected with Government are sus pected of - being implicated. Two of the pirates hate been captured in Canton; but, as they have confessed to similar crimes, wnere the sufferers were subjects of China, the Mandarins refuse to give them up.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Calcutta Overland Price current of April 7.) The arrival of the Government express, via Bombay, on the 22d ult., puts us in possession of intelligence from home up to the Bth of February. The commercial ad vices were, however, again of much the same tenour as by the previous opportunity, the only circumstances ulculated to produce any effect here being the lowering of their rate by the Court of Directors for draughts on this treasury from ls. 11 d. to Is . 10d. p er rupee, and it report that the cultivation of indigo in Java was to be discontinued; the former had the immediate effect of lowering our exchange on England nearl y 4 per cent, being expected to induce extensive remittances, both for local reqeirements (for which parties here would other wise have had to draw) and for exchange o perations ; • the amount, however, actually receiv ed by the mail abo referred to not having been partic ularl y heavy, and it being uncertain whether the Precursor would be in before the dispatch of the present mail, drawers have of late been manifesting more disposition to operate, and, as a natural consequence, the - rate has again bad an upward tendency. The report regarding Java, although of considerable importance, was to o vague to produce much effect here; but its confirmation and full pada lars are anxiously look , d for. Transactions in produce have been on a moderate scale throughout the past fortnight, the somewha t unsettled position of the home markets, by the last advises, for one or two staples hitherto in brisk di mend here baling checked operations, notwithstanding the decline in ex change and rather more numerous arrivals. Our import trade continues in a most unsatisfactory state, purchases having been almost entirely confined to manufactures suit, d to local requirement s ; the positiou of the money market, low state of the up -country rivers' and the apparent absence of orders, ha vin g kept dealers out of the market for both metals and yar n. The tightness in the money market, noticed la our last, has been in no way relieved ; the banks' rates eon" tinuing at the highest point, and Government securities having been difficult of realization, except at decline. The somewhat less favourable reports received byhtbve last mail, of the value of rice in the home Mar k , e .. t t hav ings oh eked shipments of that staple, and i nva de our inn in the meanwhile been rather more natleTol in rates of freight have been less firm, and a deelineh bas several instances been submitted to ; but, altheug- ore f uture ruling must of course be guided in some Pre by the accounts we are about to receive by th e r i g a cursor, we cannot see any prospect of a further ratit e ___ a further decline ; although, when so much above the ordinary_ curreficy as at present, some fluctuation must of cours e be anticipated. We may notice that Government has reduced the duty on salt from Company's rupees 3 to CompanY 's ru i ; pees 2 12 r.er maund ; but.as the price at the golaliS. also lowered in an even greater degree, the result of Mee measure is, on the whole, prejudicial to the s uccess 0 shipments from home.
