After the departure of the last mail steamer to Europe our settlement was thrown into great alarm in consequence of the discovery that Ichur rack Singh, a Sikh political prisoner (then on pa role), was engaged in treasonable correspondence with the convicts. These latter number nearly three thousand of the most desperate characters from British India, mostly transported for life, and for murder and gang robbery. The Sikh chief tain was seized, and at once placed on board her Majesty's ship Racehorse, where he re mained for a few days, and was then sent up to Penang in the steamer Hooghly, to be confined in the fort at that station. The state and condi tion of the convicts is a just ground of apprehension. They are mostly natives of Bengal, akin to the wretches belonging to the Sepoy regiments, whose barbarities have shocked the whole civilised world. In two days the Mohurrum or Mahommedan new year will commence when the followers of the pro phet become maddened by excitement and intoxi cation. Heaven knows whether this festivity will pass over quietly. What means are available have been resorted to and we hope to pass the next ten days, and nights in peace. At present the Madras troops stationed here are staunch, but if their bre thren at Madras mutinied, the example would in all probability be followed. We have just now a few acceptable guests in five officers and 101 men of the Roy-al Engineers, who will remain here until Lord Elgin's return from Calcutta. The European resi dents are on the alert, and to-day a protest will be sent to the Governor in consequence of that func tionary having granted permission to the convicts to go outside their lines during the Mohurrum. Once out, it may not be easy to get them in again. Her Majesty's steamer Encounter sailed hence on the 9th for Snez, having ou board the Siamese em bassy. The wreck of her Majesty's steam transport Tran sit is to be sold next month. The crew have pro ceeded to Hong Kong in the Inflexible. Ilex Majesty's steamer Fury left this on the 11th inst. for Trincomalee, having been ordered there by Adniiral Seymour, on the requisition of the Go vernor of Ceylon. '-der Majesty's steamer Shannon is daily expected from Calcutta, with Loi d Elgin on board. GENERAL WHEELER. Preinful as the subject is, the following statement with regard to the conduct of General Wheeler at Cawrtpore cannot be withheld. It is copied from the Poona Observe& of the 17th inst. We give the following with regret in one instance, but with honourable pride and a public duty in'the ether; regret for having to detract from the opinions freely offered by most of the leading journals in India, evbich were, that to the late General Wheeler was attri buted the glory of being the leader of the heroic defenders of Cawrepore, when such w as not th e case ; an d p r id e i n having to perform a public duty to the memory of the gllaut .she, Moore, and Halliday, in claiming for them the g,lory of having been the most heroic of the immor tally, vallanfgarrisoa of Cawnpore. We have recovered two, officers (Liouts. Thompson and Delafosse of the 33d Ie), and two men of the Cawnpore garrison, and their acoc.unt of the siege is most interesting. Their resistance Wa a marvellous, for the entrenchments were flimsy, and tb e position most faulty. 'Upon flour alone 250 Euro aan soldiers, protecting 450 women and children, with stood a siege of 22 days, with only a few 9-pounder guns, :against an army and heavy batteries all around, and 'would have held out longer had the provisions lasted. General Wheeler did nothing, was never wounded early in the, siege, as was stated, and never took any active part in the defence. He hardly ever showed himself s outr,ide the small barrack which sheltered almost all, and rarger but once went out to the defences. The heroes of this wonderful siege were Aehe (Artillery), Moore (323) -and Halliday. They were amongst England's most glorious sons, and their names should ever be remem bered by all who respect great deeds. • General Wheeler was killed in the boats, after the surrender of Cawnpore. THE CAWNPORE MASSACRE. The following is an extract of a letter from David Tracy, Lance Cbrporal H. M.'s 84th, to s comrade in Dum-Dum " Sanders (i.e. Lieut. Sanders, ll.M.'s 84th) was brought before the Rajah Nana Sahib, be pulled out his revolver, shot dead five of the guard, and missed the Rajah with the sixth round, then they crucified him to the ground ; the whole of the cavalry ch;•rged past him, and every one of them bad a cnt at him ; he was cut to pieces by the whole of them-. Then as soon as the scoundrels lost the battle of Cawnpore, they put to death the whole of the women and children whom they had imprisoned all together, in a house near where our camp is at present. It would strike terror into the heart of the devil himself to go into that house, where 230 poor women and children were put to death in the most cruel manner by them : the whole of their chthing was torn to pieces by them, even the hairs of the bead— pulled out of the root, the heads and bodies backed and mangled to atoms. They rest in a large well in the same compound, which is formed into a grave over them, the whole of their clothing, bloody, and their other little things, are lying there, at the present time ; and when any of 'the sepoys or any other persons are caught that had anything to do with the mutiny, they are brought to this building by the or ders of General Neal (Neill), and made to clean up a portion of the blood of those so cruelly murdered, and then hanged on the same spot. and any person that is banged is to remain so until eaten by the dogs and birds of prey, and any person found taking them down is served the same way by the authorities."—Englishman, Angu.st 11. CHINA. (Prom the Mina Mail of Aug. 10.) The melancholy state of affairs in India, with lord Elgin's departure for Calcutta, has annihilated all nopea if any existed, of immediate adjustment of the Canton question, and for many months to come matters must remain in the present unsettled and unsatisfactory condition ; while even the little traffic that has been springing up in Hong Kong will probably be put a summary end to by the blockade of the Ca ton river, which Ad m i ra l Sey mour has deem e d it necessary, for the protection of British interests, to proclaim, and which will doubtless be rigidly enforced. A-lum, the rigidly after a confine men t o f s i x months, has b een at length liberated,--we presume under express injunctions from the home govern ment. Letters from the River describe the fleet there as pretty healthy, though the Niger and Cruiser had suffered somewhat from fever ; and the Esk and Sanspareil from ophthalmia. Orders to blockade the port were communicated to the fleet on the evening of the 6th. The . ransnort ships Neleus and Moresfoort have arrived, bringing four companies of the Royal Ar tillery, numbering in all 520 officers and men ; and the Admiral with the Royal Engineer, may be hourly looked for. The Sampson is reported under orders for Calcutta, with the Artillerymen just ar nred. At Macao, some business in silk and tea bas been ',doing. The Kate Cleather is taking a full cargo of tea for London. • At Amoy trade was improving. Sales are reported of cotton, yarn, shirtings, &c., at good prices. Fo reign rice had fallen considerably, and the native crops promised to be plentiful. Considerable quan titiQs of teas had found buyers, though at highprices. From Fuhchau the news is, that the rebels had retreated or been dispersed —more likely the for mer. Trade was brisk, and large purchases had been made of teas, amounting to about 32,000 chests and about 47,C00 half-chests of all kinds. The Patna, Fiory Cross, North Wind, Hanover, and Spirit of the Age, were loadin g for Great B r it a i n . yhe North Chinctllerald announces the appre hension of the pirate Soeiro. Provisions were becoming very scarce at Ningpoo —rice was dear, wheat not to be had, and pease only at a very high price. The following intimation of an intention to levy additional imposts on tea and silk has been posted at the Custom-houses, and the foreign consuls have had a correspondence with the Chinese authorities on the subject, agains t and appealed such an in crease of the export duti es , but without success : " A PROCLAMATION. 41 WANG, GRAIN INTENDANT, AND SUPERINTENDENT FOR THE ESTABLISHING OF THE SIIANGRAE DUTIES AND CONTRIBUTIONS ; CHA, EXPECTANT COMMISSIONER OF FINANCES ; AND LAN, INTENDANT OF TREE SOOTUNG AND TAE CIRCUIT, ISSUE THE FOLLOWING PERSPICUOUS PROCLAMATION.

The steam-ship Teutonia has arrived from the Brazils with 28 passengers, a ship's letter bag, and 14 days' later intelligence. Her dates are Rio, Sept. 1 ; Bahia, Sept. 6 ; Pernambuco, Sept. 9 ; Lisbon, Sept. 26. She has on freight 11,000 bags of coffee, 1,000 rolls of tobacco, and 1,090 bap of figs. _ , _ At Rio the coffee market was quiet—about 15,000 bags sold since the sailing of the Tamar ; stock oil hand, 200,000 bags. Freights dull, prices nominal. In exchange but little done, at 27id. Her Majesty's ships at Rio were the Cumberland, Madagascar, Spy, Virago, and Syren. At Bahia the sugar market was apathetic ; prices nominal. Stocks of cotton in second hands ; no transactions of importance ; prices nominal. Coffee slightly improved. Cocoa flat. Hides nominal. Rum, prices high. Freights inactive. Tolerable business in exchange at 271 d. and 274 d. at 60 days' date. At Pernambuco the arrivals' of sugar are small, and quotations are nominal. In cotton' an advance of 5 per cent. has been demanded, with but little business. In exchange nothing has been done. Freights are dull. CITY OF LONDON THEATRE. We understand that this spirited management has entered into an engagement, for a limited number of nights, with the great African tragedian, Mr. Ira Ald ridge. The Vienna Times says :—" Mr. Ira Aldridge is, without exception, the greatest European stage actor that ever lived, not only from the powerful energy of his represertations, which fascinates and rivets your attention, but from the beautiful intonation of his voice, which ho manages with the most artistic skill. It is seldom we meet with an artist who possesses the im manse power of declamation of Mr. Ira Aldridge, who is followed by his audience from scene to scene, until it reaches the acme of enthtWasm. The sudden and perfect changes from the doating to the jealous husband, is realised in all the fondness of the one, and the rage of the other, and we doubt whether Shakspere himself could ever have met with a more perfect and masterly delineator." This engagement commences on Monday the 12th. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (This Day. MANSION.HOUSE. ROBBING AN EMPLOVEL—Three men named Snipe, Breilley, and Wright, were placed at the bur before the Lord Mayor, charged with being concerned in robbing hlr. Bower, 101, Pencburch-street, wino, spirit, and ale merchant, of a large quantity of goods. It appeared from the evidence, that the prisoner Snipe was the prosecutor's foreman, and Wright had oc. casionally worked for him. During the temporary ab sence of the prosecutor he took advantage to rob him. On examining his cellar he found a consider able quantity of goods had been stolen, and from information he receiv e d h e gave th e prisoner into custody. The charge against Breilley was for receiving some of the goods, knowing them to have been stolen, and ,against Wright for aiding and assisting Snipe in the robbery. The charge was not sufficiently strong against Breilley, and he was discharged. The other prisoners were committed for trial. - THE FORGERY ON THE UNION BANK.—The prisoners Franklyn and Kerp, remanded, charged with forging and uttering a cheque for 2701. on the Union Bank, were again placed at the bar for further examination. Mr. Johnson (barrister) appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Humphreys for Kerp, and Mr. Lewis, Ely-place, tor Franklyn. Another charge was preferred against Franklyn for forging an order on the Union Bank for the delivery of a chequ ebook, Mr. Johnson said he should be able to prove that on Friday Franil last, the day before the 'robbery, the prisoner Franklyn, was in Finsbury-pavement, accosted a fora bator. o e r sP a ect y r. dressed boy, and asked him to take an order cheque-book him on H t e he did Un so ir re ta i n v k ed , and the c b h r e in ci g ue a . book. an a d iad de t l o i l v l ere:d it to Franklyn, who gave him a shilling, 'ng day at 12 6, l him to be at the same place the follow job for him.

The Lord Mayor refused. The prisoners were remanded till Monday next. MONEY MARKET AND CODIrdERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed quietly, and prices were without any material alteration. The sales were estimated at 5,000 bales, 500 of which were taken by the speculators. The Railway Share Market exhibited more activity, but quotations were a shade lower. The position of the Money Market during Sep- temlrer is thus reviewed in the Banker's Magazine : —"There has been great stagnation in public affairs during the past month. Depression un forttnately is the order of the day, through the political position of India ; and the anxiety evinced to ascertain the nature of the intelligence by each mail shows the importance attached to the progress of events In that quarter of the globe. The result is that business is checked, uneasiness created, and a general heaviness produced, which, without severely affecting monetary or mercantile interests, prevents activity. Consequently during the last fortnight there has almost been entire stagnat on and the operators in public securities have generally suspended transactions. The value of money is well supported and there is evidently no expeCtation of a decline, the efflux of specie to the continent; with the advance in the rates of discount at Amsterdam, Hamburg, and Berlin to 6i per cent., causing some par ties on the contrary, to believe that a prospect exists of a movement in the other direction. Notwithstanding large Australian remittances have been received, the drain to France and Ham burg excites some apprehension, particularly since the disturbance in the money circles of the United States, where pressure and panic have prevailed, has caused shipments of gold from New York to be suspended. Trade generally appears to be scarcely as sound as formerly, and the failures in the pro vinces although unimportant, indicate that weak firms cannot resist the effects of the late main tenance of the rates for mercantile accommodation. The minimum of the Bank of England has not varied, while in Lombard-street the rate is fully 51 per cent." During the last two days, the pressure for dis count has been severe, under the twofold influence collect ions and the preparations for the 4th of the month. Full rates, and in some instances an advance have therefore been exacted ; but there is now a slight pause in the inquiry, and the market is temporarily easier. The Bank of England directors, as expected, have made no alteration in the discount regulations at their meeting to-day, and, through the aid of the October dividends, and the influx of gold, it is now thought 'that no new measures will become neces sary this year. All are prepared for the continu ance of the present minimum, trade being carried on to too great an extent to admit of a sufficient accumulation of capital to influence the rates favourably. Provision has now been made for the commercial engagements due on Saturday, the settlements at the Stock Exchange are com pleted, and also the preparations for the ship ment of specie by the Colombo for India and China. A short period of relief may now be experienced. Specie is likely to arrive in large quantities from Australia, several remittances tieing now overdue, while of silver moderate sup plies may be expected from Mexico. The steamer Parana, just announced, brings nearly 400,0001. Silver has been in active request during the last two days, and an advance in prices has consequently taken place. A decline of about e per cent. was experienced on the Paris Bourse yesterday, the Rentes having closed at 6 Bf. During the eight months ending August, the imports of specie into Frame were valued at 17,500,0001., and the exports at 15,940,9001. The market for Public Securities has been very buoyant to-day, and a rise of per Cent. has taken place in consequence of real and speculative pur chases. There is a good deal of animation, and most securities are in demand, a bettor feeling, having been generated by the Revenue Returns . and the expectation of better news from India The markets consequently present a remarkable contrast to what they did a few days ago when quo tations were almost nominal, and business was nearly suspended. Consols have been 90i g for money, and 90g for account, and these are the present quotations. India Bonds are Zs. to 235. discount, and Exchequer Bills are is. better, viz., 9s. discount. An extensive business has been done in Foreign Stocks. Turkish 6 per Gents. have risen to 95 3 / 4 and the 4 per Cents. are 99 3 / 4 .

Week after week the summer sun, Undimmed by cloud or shower, With an Italian speed brings on The happy harvest hour ; The arts of peace, by plenty nurat, Proclaim the world's alliance, Even in the merry trumpet burst, And shouts of gay defiance. Then flash along the sentient-wire Some words so brief and fearful, That they who hear them scarce desire To see their children cheerful : Tidings that through wide Hindostan, Where Britain's rule stood surest, No life is safe of Christian man, The loftiest or the poorest. Is it a nation roused to meet In arms a strange dominion ? A people maddened by the heat Of just or false opinion ? No ; soldiers cared for as our sons, And clothed with England's honour, Have turned their parricidal guns With basest craft upon her ! Soon things that make young blood run cold We whisper, while we tremble ; Or cry that truths shall not be told We to ourselves dissemble ; And hideous images affright Our soul's deep hiding-places, And in our sleep we start at sight Of unknown forms and faces. Our fair expanse of green and gold Can hardly find us grateful, The very sun that could behold Such scenes is almost hateful ; Warm rays flare up to cruel heat, — We sicken and we languish, With those on whose sad heads they beat Intolerable anguish! We mark, as comes the breeze of morn To freshen and to sweeten The ripples of the oaten corn, The billows of the wheaten ; And feel that not one such sweet breath Can reach where parch'd and tangled The earth gives up to wasting death Our brethren foully mangled. And oh ! the pangs of those who know What never must be spoken— Hearts that will bear about the woe Of memory until broken : God give them thoughts of those who died In Christendom's first ages, — The child, the veteran, and the bride, — The saints of history's pages ! For these are Christian martyrs too — And England's all the dearer : The mighty work she has to do These agonies brings nearer ; Conjuring her by that pure blood No moment to abandon TO task of world-embracing good She once has laid her band on. She cannot match the devilish deed, Nor mate the hideous treason, — Her blow is not the traitor's mead, But self-defending reason : That will be lavish of its life, And hold all cost uncounted TM through the length and breadth of strife This peril be surmounted. Then may she Firdon—ooly then— When shamed and conscience-stricken, The crolulous or slothful men Who let the horror thicken — Who little knew and nothing planned The evil bond to sever, Nor dared to burst it with the hand Of resolute endeavour. Yet while the rulers we condemn, Who failed in due prevision, We trust for Britain, as for them, In history's great decision,— That subject lands more justly ruled, And strength wore mildly wielded, Had never been, that when befooled To noble hopes we yielded ; Hopes of a world the force of law, The worth of knowledge priz i ng ; From Heathendom's debasing awe To Christian reverence rising ; Hopes of a people struggling forth From custom's deep entrancement, Led by the conquerors of the north To Freedom's safe advancement. Be this an Oriental tale By Saxon pride engendered,— Hopes for a hundred years may fail, Yet not be all surrendered : And now front each distracting scene Of passion fiercely nourished, We know what India might have been Had Moslem tyrants flourished ; S.) would have been, and yet would be, If England shrank from duty. „ . Then watch your harvest wealth with glee ; Rejoice in Nature's beauty, Making her bounties ministers Of toil and self-denial, Aud Victory's surest harbingers, After the fiery trial. R. M. M.

WHEN WILL THE REINFORCEUENTS REACH INDIA —The Bombay Gazette of Aug. 22 thus answers this question :—" Six steamers and 11 ships were to leave with troop; soon atter the despatch of last mail. If the bulk of these and the other troops on their way are landed in India by the Ist of November, .it will be all that we can expect. A: few regiments may come in the meantime from the Cape.
