The Commons met at Twelve. The report of the Committee of Supply was brought up and received. The Police Clause Bill was ordered to be referred to a Select Committee. The Drainage of Lands Bill passed through Corn mittee. On the motion for the second reading of the Re gistration of Voters Bill, Mr. AVALrotx expressed a desire that some enact ment should be introduced to prevent the making of other than bona fide objections to registered voters. Sir G. GREY hoped no objection would be offered to the second reading of the Bill. After a short conversation, in which Mr. BRIGHT Mr. NEWHEG ATE, and some other Hon. Members took part, the Bill was read a second time. Sir H. Maxon) moved the second reading of the Hosiery Manufactories Bill ; and if the motion were carried, he would move that the Bill be referred to a Select Committee. Mr. WYNN ELLis coi.sidered the Bill would aggra vate the evils it professed to remedy, and would therefore vote against it. Mr. GIsBoRNE said this was a corollary to the Fac tory Bill. They had entered upon a course which they could not carry out, and all such attempts to regulate wages by law must eventually prove not (,;:;y unsuccessful but positively injurious. At the suggestion of Mr. MILNER GIBSON, the de bee was adjourned to to-morrow (this day.) On the motion of M. WAR.Lty 2 second reading of Medical Registration Bill as postponed to Monday. Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD postponed the second realing of the Tenant s ' (Ireland) Bill to to-morro w (this day). The County Buildings Act passed through com- inittee. The Naval Service of B3ys Bill passed through Committee, and tie House adjourned at six o'clock. Tile Earl of ELLENBOROUGII attempted on Tuesday, in the House of Lords, to draw the Government into a discussion upon matters of a most important charac ter connected with our foreign relations. The Earl of stated, in reply to a question put ,RDWICKE, that it was intended to ~de summer two squadrons —one in •f"i4t 4/ 4rinr eviiliaikitek: (SYrt 4 7l -1 , I C* Onib - -4 . :7 -' -------- r - I.:_q 1-7 the Channel, and another in the Mediterranean, for the purpose of improving both seamen and naval officers I in the tactics of naval evolutions, the Earl of ELLEN BOROUGH seized the opportunity of alluding to the existing distribution of some of our ships-of- war off Lisbon and Athens respectively, and of throwing out some inculpatory observations upon the policy at pre sent pursued by the Administration in Greece and Portugal. As the Earl of ELLENBOROUGH had given no notice of his intention to raise a discussion upon some of the most abstruse points of international law, the Marquis of LANSDOWNE very properly declined to deviate from established practice ; but, at the same time, in a general way, gave a satis factory explanation of the course pursued by the Government with regard to those countries. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH having Wowed, that " no doubt the Noble Earl (AUCKLAND) regretted this destination of our ships, forced as it was upon him by the superior authority of the Foreign Office," the President of the Council replied that our ships had been detached with the full con . currence and assent of the First Lord of the Admi ralty, and added, that " when the proper time came the Government would be prepared to communicate to the House the grounds upon which these forces had been called to act beyond that immediate object on which all their Lordships would wish them to act it must exercise en the social condition of so large a portion of the community, and that the most helpless and destitute, so urgently demand. The King of NAPLES has granted a full pardon to thirty-six prisoners, and reduced by one-half the periods of punishment of ten others. In the first batch were included five persons condemned for political offences. Letters from Bologna of the 25th ult. announce that the POPE bad sanctioned the principle of the establishment of national guards throughout the Pontifical dominions, and that a decree to that effect would be shortly published by his Holiness. The two censors of the press, who, with the Governor, were to constitute the superior board for the pro vince of Bologna, were Father VENTURINI, a Barna bite, and M. BAJETTI, professor of natural law— two men of great learning and liberality. —he meant the protection of British interests." Lord LANSDOWNE expressed his hope that our interference had not been as ineffectual as Lord ELLENBOROUGH was pleased to take for granted, assured the House that the presence of our squadron in the Bay of Lisbon had inspired our merchants with security, and considered that, in the present state of Europe, we were bound to watch over the events that take place, and to assert the rights and interests of this country. This is language becoming a British statesman. The Earl of ELLEN BOROUGH'S speech was somewhat unadvised. First, remarking that the French had sent to Athens a naval demonstration of superior strength to our own, his Lordship asked the Government (without notice, be it remembered), whether orders had been sent to allow our forces to act ? for, observed Lord ELLENBOROUGH, "if such orders had been sent, and there were similar orders sent on the other side, might not all this lead to a fatal conflict?" Such reflections are ill-timed, and can minister to no good end. We are quite certain that the present Government are pacifically inclined, but we are equally certain that, despite the tenor of such obser vations as those to which we have adverted, they will not be deterred, should the necessity be unhappily 1 created, from firmly vindicating the rights and in terests of the British empire, in what quarter of the world soever any attempt may be made to invade or impair either the one or the other. A letter from Berlin says— "ln -Prussia, till now, all conflicts of jurisdiction were judged by the Council of State, as in all the other states of Germany, in France, and in many other countries. The King has just reformed this state of things, which gives rise to many abuses. By an ordonnance of the 12th, his Majesty has created a court composed of five immovable judges, who are to decide on all the conflicts which may arise between the tribunals, or between the administrative authorities, or between the former and the latter. This measure, as will be readily believed, has been received with general approbation. The King has held out a hope to the Deputies of the Grand Duchy of Posen that immediately after the case of the Polish insurrectionists shall have been judged, there shall be ac corded an amnesty, if not general, at least very large." The Landed Property (Ireland) Bill went through the Committee in the House of Lords on Tuesday night. The promised explanation as to its general objects, which should have been made on the second reading, was given by the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, who also announced the increase of the fund to be granted for the purposes of the Act, from 1,000,0001. to 1,500,000/. sterling, consequent upon the postponement of the Bill for the reclamation of the waste lands, and the liberation of the million intended to have been applied thereunder. The public are already acquainted with the chief features of the proposed measure, which is, in effect, the mode by which the Treasury minute of last December is to be carried out, and the stimulus to be given to the improvement of the soil by those proprietors, who, by reason either of their restricted powers consequent upon entails and settlements, or of the weight of the encumbrances and charges affecting their respective properties, are unable from private sources to obtain the necessary funds for that im provement. It is universally admitted by persons of 01 parties, that the aid intended to be afforded by OVER LAND MAIL IN Ell A. (From the Herald.) We have received by extraordinary express, in anti cipation of the Overland Mail, our files of papers from Bombay, April 1; Calcutta, March 23; Delhi, March 22. No later dates from China. We subjoin ex tracts:— Madrid papers of the 28th ult. have arrived. It is said that General VAN HALEN, the friend of EsrAaTEao, is expected in Madrid. The return of VAN FIALEx is probably the forerunner of the recal of ESPARTERO. The 27th being Queen Camsma's birthday was observed with the usual solemnities. The Court was to leave Madrid for Aranjuez on the sth May. MADRID BOLSA, APRIL 28.—The Three per Cents. were done at 314 for cash; the Five per Cents. at 19; the Debt without Interest at 54; and the Coupons at 11. this Act, coupled with that for the more easy disposal of encumbered estates, is calculated to lead to the permanent amelioration of the sister kingdom, and its elevation from the distress and difficulties in which it has been involved. No opposition, therefore, was offered from any quar ter to the progress of the measure. Some suggestions were offered, one of which, including grist mills in the class of buildings for the erection of which the Commis - shiners were empowered to make advances, was assented to. If this power is judiciously used it may be produc tive of considerable advantage to the country. Nothing could be more objectionable than the crea tion of extensive commercial establishments with the public money, or the interference with the free course of trade, by giving undue encouragement to any class of speculators which must be prejudicial to those embarked in the same description of business. Generally speaking, private enterprise will be found fully adequate to provide the required accommodation, to make the supply equivalent to the demand. But, in Ireland, the extraordinary events of the past year, and the vast alteration that must henceforth take place in the food of the people, require that extraordinary facilities should be given for the grinding of every kind of corn, and its conversion into meal or flour. There is also an immense quantity of water power, which has been neglected and which might easily be made available, so as to have small mills erected at a very trifling expense in almost every locality. If limited to this extent, it will be a very useful addition to the Act. (From the Bombay Times of April 1.) SUMMARY.—The only news worth noticing that has reached us from the Punjaub is corrective of the errors into which our north-western and eastern brethren had fallen in reference to the state of Seikh affairs in general, and the conduct of the Resident in particular. No at tempt on the life of Tej Singh seems to have been in tended to have been made. The Hazareh people have never resisted the government of Ghoolab Singh; they took up arms, on the other hand, against the Seikhs of the plains, and had all but vanquished them when rein forcements were sent from Lahore a twelvemonth since, just before the transfer of the country to Jamoo. Mr. P. Vans Agnew and Lieutenant Lumsden had been sent to make peace, not to maintain war—to use arguments, not force. Ghoolab Singh does not seem a worse or more unpopular ruler than the bulk of the chiefs around him. Since our connexion with him began we have had no fault whatever to find with him. He has at our suggestion cleared his dungeons of state prisoners, restored lands un justly escheated, and abolished suttee and female in fanticide. No attempt to prevent the Durbar meeting on Sunday bad been made, or to restrain the movements of the Queen -Mother or her son. No commemoration of any of our victories had occurred in the Seikh capital. Everything throughout the country was tranquil; trade and cultivation were everywhere advancing as the public confidence increased ; and a stern system of in quiry into the state of the finances of the country had been entered on with a view to retrenchment. In Sinde the hot weather advances apace, but the country con- Unties healthy and tranquil. A good deal of marauding had occurred just beyond the frontier, where the robbers had on one occasion the worst of it ; having been taken by surprise by their intended victims, from five to six hundred were left dead or severely wounded on the field. Two hundred and' fifty hori . es formed portion of the spoil. The remainder of them are hemmed in by Jacob's Irregular Horse, and will, it is supposed, be starved into submission. It is now admitted by the Government official, that the Indus —formerly proclaimed open to the trade of all nations—will not admit of the navigation of vessels drawing so much as three feet of water. Shifting sand-banks, violent eddies, and rapid currents, make the progress of these tardy and perilous! So severe continues the pressure in the money market that discounts have been raised by the banks to from eleven to twelve per cent. About three millions sterling have been raised by the Five per Cent. Loan, which will, it is understood, be kept open for at least twelve months to come. Our expenditure for the past seven years has exceeded our income by above a million and a quarter annually; at this moment the sum just named is yearly absorbed by Sinde. From four to five millions are at present understood to be required by Government. To meet this we have the revenues of the lately-acquired Seikh states, half a million sterling—the saving by the reduction of our armies, about 300,000L — increased duty on opium, 100,0001.—anti the indemnity promised by the Seikh Government during our occu pation of the Punjaub, 220,000/.; to which we must add a saving of about 120,0001. from the improve ment of the customs produced by the suppression of smuggling on our new frontier; this will give a grand total of 1,240,0001., leaving a deficit to be pro vided for by future retrenchments of 210,000/. a year. The death of Akbar Khan, of Caubul, has been confirmed. It was at first stated that he had died of delirium tremens; it is now asserted that he has been poisoned at the instigation of his father, Dust Ma homed! The Governor-General and Commander-in- Chief have by this time reached Simla. The disturb ances in the Goomsoor districts, and disorders in the Nizam'a dominions, continue as formerly. With these exceptions, India in general continues tranquil. The Criminal Session in the Supreme Court of Bombay terminated on Tuesday last ; it occupied eight days, and was the heaviest, both as to the number of prisoners and nature of the crimes, ever known in Bombay. The Parsee, who so cruelly murdered a Hindoo lad for the sake of his ornaments a couple of months since, has been ordered for execution on Saturday next. The seaman Cole, after having been tried by a navy court martial at Bushire fur the murder of an Arab, and found guilty of manslaughter only, was indicted the second time for murder on Monday last, but owing to an omis sion in the indictment the trial was quashed by Sir E. Perry, and the man set at liberty. He had been in con finement nearly eighteen months. The case of Lieu tenant E. Bowles, of the 23d Bombay Native Infantry, who was tried for an aggravated assault on a native policeman in the execution of his duty, and sentenced to three months' imprisonment in the common gaol, and to pay a fine of 501., has given rise to a considerable amount of discussion—the sentence of the Court being universally condemned as unnecessarily severe. The ship Mars, bound for Dundee, was totally destroyed by fire in the Calcutta river on the 19th ult. Within the past month nearly 6,5004 have been subscribed in the Bombay presidency for the relief of the destitute Scotch and Irish; 2,4001. were sent home by last mail, and that of to-day takes 3,0004 more. Sir J. Jejeebhoy has given a second donation of 5001. The Calcutta sub scription, opened about the same time, amounts to 5,0001., 4,0001. of which have been transmitted home. At Madras the amount subscribed has reached the sum of nearly 2,0001. By May 1, it is probable not less than 20,0001. will have been sent home from India. The Mussoorie Asylum for the reception of the children of European soldiers, which owes its existence to the Resi dent at Lahore, has met with the most cordial counte nance and support from the Court of Directors. Its founder has contributed to it 1,0004 as an original sub scription, and gives 2001. a year as a donation—a princely sum for a Major of Bengal artillery. The steamer Queen, with the London mails of the 24th February arrived yesterday afternoon; she has been eleven days, on her passage from Aden. The Victoria with intelligence to the Bth March, is expected this day week. We have received the Paris papers of Monday. The investment made by the Emperor of RUSSIA in the English funds is the subject of comment in several of them. The Presse, of course, sees in it a political rather than a financial operation. The Em peror of RUSSIA wished to strike the public mind, and to give it a high idea of his resources, and he has succeeded. The version of the Commerce is more business-like, and more true. It says— " In a financial point of view the deposit of 5,000,0001. in the Bank of London has nothing which surprises us. The details that are given by the Austrian Oburver completely edify us with respect to the immense resources in specie of the Russian Treasury and banks. The bank of St. Peters burgh alone must have had on the Ist of January of the pre sent year 11,000,000 silver rubles, or 40,000,000 f. in French money, in addition to the capital destined to guarantee its notes of credit. This isolated fact gives us an idea of the abundance of metallic specie in Russia. To the nominal causes of this abundance are this year added other causes which are quite peculiar, such as the excellent produce of the harvest, and the immense purchases of corn which the scarcity compelled southern Europe to make, and which have almost all been paid for in ingots. In a commercial point of view St. Petersburgh, in continuing to place its capital in foreign funds, and in rendering to England in her financial crisis the same service as to us, will afford facilities to Eng land, that of providing herself almost exclusively in the ports of the Baltic and the Black Sea ; and at the end of the account Russia will only have given her agricultural pro ducts in exchange for the stock of the two great States whose credit is the best established and offers best guarantees." The Courri er Francais thus observes on the dif ferent manner in which the EMPEROR has conducted his financial arrangements in France and England:— "It appears," says that journal, " that the Emperor of Russia is desirous to propitiate Western Europe by his financial propaganda. Ile no doubt thought that England would be jealous of the Muscovite present of 50,000,000 f. lately bestowed on France, if he did not send a present double that amount, or 112,500,000 f. The Czar, however, in this instance, naturally applied to the Bank of England, without recurring to the medium of the Foreign-office. Lord Palmerston, however friendly disposed towards Russia, would have indignantly rejected the office of go-between in such a transaction." The National sneeringly observes, that the EMPE ROR is not the only Sovereign who invests money in the foreign funds, but what he does openly others prefer doing in secret. The Journal des Debats has a long article lauda tory of the French policy in Greece, and attacking of course that of England. The: Prince of Syracuse, brother of the King of Naples, arrived on Thursday at Marseilles in the Vesuve steamer, and put up at the house of M. Stella, Consul-General of the Two Sicilies. The Prince left in the evening for Paris. The price of wheat is rising in every part of France.

The Duke of WELLINGTON suggested the insertion of another clause of the greatest importance. Among the most crying grievances to which the Irish Agri cultural labourer is subjected is that which has been termed the " Conacre system," a system still more objectionable than the " Truck system," which prevails in parts of this country. The poor man who has no land attached to his cottage, who has no place in which he can grow the accus tomed crop of potatoes for the use of his family, ap plies to a neighbouring farmer, who lets him a small plot at a rent amounting to 81., 101., or 121. per acre, which rent he agrees to accept in labour at the rate of Bd. or 10d. per diem. The poor cottier is well satisfied with his bargain ; he cares not how exorbitant may be the rent he agrees to pay, because it will be ac cepted from him in the only way in which he can pay it—in the labour which would remain unoccupied if he did not enter into some such agreement ; and he is well aware that in no other way will he get employment. Had he ready money to pay he would get the land for less than one-half of the amount which he undertakes to give in labour. If there is a fair and reasonable amount of produce the labourer is contented, and most religiously performs his part of the contract ; he has secured a sufficiency of the humble food on which his family and himself are accustomed to live, and he trusts to the casual work he may be able to obtain to procure every other necessary ; but if there should be a failure of that for which he had mort gaged ;his labour, his only wealth, his con dition is indeed deplorable ; he has no resource left, he is flung upon the charity of the country, and must have recourse to the Government works or the poor-law union for the support of himself and family. Of course he cannot then give the stipulated quantity of labour, and the farmer, who relies on obtaining it from him, too frequently has not the means of procuring other labour, and his lands remain neg lected and uncultivated. All classes, therefore, suffer from the baneful effects of the system. His Grace proposes as a remedy, " that all bargains for the wages of labour should be made in the current coin of the realm ; and that the payment of wages shall be enforced in the same ; and that the labourer shall hare a claim for that payment, notwithstanding any . bargain to the coctrary with his employer." This pro vision appears well calculated to give the death-blow to the practice, and may probably be introduced with safety, pari passu, with the extended poor law, which will ensure a maintenance to the labouring population, either in return for their daily work or other w i se , w ith ou t t h a t it m i g ht poss ibl y deteriorate the condition of the people for whose be nefit it was intended. It might induce the farmers to give far less employment, ent, and consequently to more leave their land s s till neglected a than k at present. It might leave the cottier without occu pation or remuneration for his labour, and a i n n d d f o a f r rse off than he is under the present state of affairs. The clause is proposed to be added to the Bill on 1 the bringing up of the report. In the meantime we trust that it will receive that full and attentive eon ' sideration that its importance, and the vast influence DUBLIN, MAY 3.—We are happy to perceive by the following, that up to a late hour last night his Excel lency was not worse, but was rather in an improving condition:— " Eleven o'elock, Sunday night. " Sir Philip Crampton has just left, and the answer was, His Excellency is nothing worse, but rather im- proving : '" The following is the bulletin issued this morning at nine o'clock:— " May 3. " His Excellency passed another good night, and feels much refreshed this morning. " P. CRAMPTON. " W. STOKES. " P. F. PURCELL." " Half-past Three o'clock, P.m. " His Excellency continues without any change since the morning." THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY MORNING, MAY 6, 1847 England, and prices are high. On Saturday, the 20th, there was a Government sale at the Custom-house of 500 bales of cotton, the growth of the Southern Mahratta country and cleaned by American Saw-Gins,—part of a lot, going home by order of the Court of Directors, which was sold here at the recommendation of the Chamber of Commerce in order more immediately to ascertain its value—and the prices brought ran from rs. 107 to rs. 124 to 125 per Surat candy of 7841 b. —one parcel of 42 bales from the Khandeish Col lectorate having brought as much as rs. 132 per candy. These prices, having in view the present high rates of ship freight, must be eonsidered very encouraging to Govern ment and the native growers. Ordinary Market prices ore as follow : Broach and Jumbooseer, New, rs. 96 to 98 per candy ; ditto, old, 72 to 80 ; Surat, new. 98 ; ditto, old, 78 to 80 ; Dhollera, new, 86 to 88 ; ditto, old, 72 to 74 ; Oomrawutty, new, 88 to 89 ; ditto, old, 70 ; Compta, old, 68. _ Coffee—Nothing doing. Opium—No alteration since our last. Freights—These are again firm at 71. per ton to Liverpool. Since our last as much as 71. ss. has been paid, but this very extreme rate has not been sustained • a n engagement or two having been made on the arrival of two or three vessels at once at 61. 17s. 6d. To London, engagements have been made at 61. 10s. to 61. 15s. To China, rs. 23 to rs. 24 per candy continues the rate. MONET-MARKET. The Money-market is becoming exceedingly tight, and ac cordingly there is a slight decline in the late nominal values of public funds. This tendency is yet on the increase. We quote as follows :-5 per cent. Loan of 1825-26, Rs. 103 per 100 Sic Rs. ; 4 ditto of 1832-33, Rs. 92 per ditto ; 4 ditto of 1835.36, Rs. 87 Co.'s Rs. per 100 ; 5 ditto of 1841-42, Rs. 99 1 4 per ditto; 5 ditto of 1842-1843, Rs. 87 ditto; 5 ditto of Transfer Loan, no quotation. Bank of Bombay, Rs. 35 to 36 per cent. pm. Oriental Bank, 21 Rs. ditto. Agra Bank, 50 Rs. exclusive of the bonus divisible on June 3 0 th, 18 47 , of 40 is. per share. Divi dend for the half .year ended Dec. 31st, 1846, to 12 per cent. Commercial, 4 to 4IA pm. Exchange—The rate of six months' bills on England is down to 2s. 0 1 / t d. to 2s. ONd., at both of which rates trans actions have had effect. The fact of the Government an nouncement of their intention to make large advances on India produce this season consigned to England has not yet been well ascertained. It would seem to have caused a decline in the rate of exchange already. Price of Bullion —Sovereigns, each 11 rs. 1 anna ; Bank of England notes, per X each, 10 rs. 8 annas. THE CALCUTTA MARKETS. (From the Bengal Hurharu of March 20.) Our budget of commercial intelligence is of rather more than usual interest. The news brought by the last mail from home of an increased demand for rice, and the in tention of Government to permit and encourage the use of sugar in brewing and distilling, caused considerable activity in the market for those very staples, which was checked only by the very scanty supply of tonnage and consequently high rates of freight. The Government has announced its intention to extend its advances on the hy pothecation of goods from 800,0001. to 1,255,0001., during the current official year and the next, with an additional sum of 600,0001. for the supply of the ensuing year, as far as its requirements are at present known. The advances are, until further orders, to be made as before at 2s. per rupee. Exchange has still, however, had an upward tendency, and may be quoted at 2s. lid. to 2s. lid. The money market has again become exceedingly tight, and the banks have raised their rates of interest on private bills to 12 per cent., the legal maximum, and on Govern ment acceptances to 8 per cent. per annum. This state of things has, of course, a depressing effect on company's paper of all kinds; and even the paper of the New Five per Cent. Loan is to be had in the bazaar at a discount of about 1 per cent. Freights are still rising, and there being little likelihood of a large or early accession to the amount of available ton . nage, will probably yet go up. As much as 8/. lOs to 8/. 15$. have been given for sugar and rice to England. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS (From The Sun of Last Night.) The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was dull, and prices were flat. Sales only 1,200 bales, of which 900 were American, at 6d. to 7id. per lb. Railway shares declined considerably. A large amount of good dividend paying stock was rressed on the market. The accounts received to-day from India by the express in anticipation of the Overland Mail, describe the morey market as being tight, although " the Company" had agreed to extend its advances upon produce. The exchange was on the decline. In imports not a great deal had been done. There 'are no arrivals from the colonies, but we learn from Portugal that political affairs were still very unsettled there. As far as can be ascertained, the " fourth" has gone off much better than was anticipated. Forbearance has been exercised, and by a continuance of this course matters may become easier in a few da) s, extraordinary and severe as may have been the sacrifices made by many firms to keep up their credit. The next push will be oa Friday, for the in stalment on the loan, and it is supposed that there will on this account be a withdrawal of deposits from the private accounts at the Bank of England. If the Government needs the money immediately, the Bank therefore will be further drained, though it is highly satisfactory to know that there is but little specie going out to the United States. The Public Securities have been fluctuating again to-day. Consols have realised 86% to 86 1 % for present transfer, and 86% to 86 1 / 2 for Account. Consols Scrip has been 3 1 / 2 dis count. Exchequer-billi have been quoted 3s. to lls. premium. The interest on the Unfunded Debt it is now con fidently expected will be raised to 4 or 4 1 / 2 per cent.

The b habitants of the buildings were buried in the ruins ; from which one female was taken out dead, and several others severely injured, but who are since progressing favourably. It is remarkable that more lives were not lost, as the road over which the stalk fell is the one leading to the parish school, and the accident happe ned at the very hou r of the assembling of .b'dinburyls goat. t h e school.— A CIVIL WAR IN CHINA. ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED AND THIRTY-EIGHT PER SONS KILLED OR WOUNDED. (From the Moniteur Belge of May 3.) The Chinese Repository gives an account, which could hardly be credited had we not positive proofs of the density of the population of the Chinese empire. Ac cording to the above journal, published by the American missionaries, a civil war, or rather feud, took place be tween the two neighbouring departments of Chang- Chao and Tseven-Chao, in the province of Gokien, in which 21,515 houses and 668 huts were pillaged and burnt to the ground, and 130,638 persons killed or wounded. It appears that wars of this kind are of frequent occurrence in the interior of this country, with out the Government attempting, or, rather, caring to in terfere. It is stated that when riots of this description take place, bearing no political character, the authori• ties care little about the results to the inhabitants. It is not long since that the 2.. , :thorities of Canton allowed two villages to be destroyed, and the population mur dered, as the question was only certain losses at gaming. The empire, say they, is too thickly populated, there fore there can be no harm in allowing turbulent people to make room for a more quiet set. THE Gmtnisorr.—On Thursday morning the depot of the 89th Regiment of Foot, which has been stationed here, consisting of 470 persons, including officers and females, under the command of Major Benny, left this town by rail way ea route for Weedon, Northamptonshire. This regiment has been succeeded by a detachment of the 40th from the same place, lately returned from India, consisting of 53 men and two officers, who have just arrived from Birmingham. This gallant regiment is under the comment' of Lieut.- Colonel Hibbert, Companion of the Bath, who was highly distinguished at the battle of Waterloo, and carries on his colours, in commemoration of his distinguished services, the following honorary distinctions :—" Talavera," "Badajoz," " Robeia," " Monte Video," " Viencera," "Salamanca," " Peninsula," " Candahar," " Toulouse," " Ghuznee," " Ma harajpore," " Caubul," &c.—Hull Packet. SCULLEES MATCH FOR 301., BETWEEN JOHNSON AND DomE.—The scullers match between these below-bridge men, which has caused much speculation amongst the " wise men of the east," was decided on Tuesday afternoon. Both men, from past exploits, are known to fame, and the interest was consequently not confined to their own locality. Both have won several matches, and last year Doyle, with Prince for partner, won the " oars match" at Putney Regatta. The friends of each man were very confident; both were in fir.,t rate condition, Johnson being the stronger man, and Doyle the neater sculler. Betting in favour of Doyle. Tire course was from Putney to Mortlake, with the tide. At half-past four the men took their stations, Doyle at the centre arch, and Johnson at the one to the Fulham side of it. Much finesse was displayed at starting; but after three false starts they went off, Doyle instantly showing slightly in front, this position he improved, owing to Johnson having to avoid some barges moored in his course; but opposite Finch's the struggle was renewed, and the men became scull and scull, both rowing " all they knew." Now the strength of John son began to tell, and he drew his boat ahead, and at Ro'e Cottage Doyle made a gallant spurt to wrest his position from him, but failed to do so, and Johnson gaining fresh heart from his opponent's discomfiture, redoubled his efforts, and continued steadily to improve his advantage, coming in a winner by twelve boats length. John Phelps, of Fulham, trained and steered the winner. MARRIAGE IN . HIGH LIFE.—The marriage of the }lon. Caroline Harriet Gage, third daughter of Viscount and Viscountess Gage, and the Hon. S. Prendergast Vereber. eldest son o f Vi scount Gort, was solemnized on Tuesday at St. tdargaret's Chu rc h, Westminster. MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. Casualties by death in the armies of India reported since the departure of the mail of 15th March : Her Majesty's Troops Ensign Smith, 95th Foot, at Ceylon ; Lieutenant Chapman, 84th Foot, drowned on pas sage to England. Bombay—Major J. St. C. Jameson, 18th N. 1., at Bombay on the 23d March. Madras— Lieut.-Col. C. F. Smith, Ist Native Veteran Battalion, at Madras, on the 9th March; Lieut. W. C. Law, 21st N. 1., at Malacca, on the 3d Feb. Bengal—Major-Gen. J. Alexander, commanding the Be nares Division, at Benares, on the 11th March ; Col. A. Speirs, resident at the Court of Nagpore, at Jaulna, on his way to Bombay, on the 18th March ; Lieut. D. M. Shand, 54th N. 1., at Lahore, on the 7th March. THE BOMBAY MARKET. (From the Chamber of Commerce Overland Price Current.) BOMBAY, APRIL I.—The import market manifests con tinued and increasing dulness. The scarcity of money generally felt has checked business, and there seems to be very little inquiry for transmission to the interior, while local wants would appear to have been satisfied by the purchases made in February last and in the early part of March. The offers for nearly every description of goods are much lower than they were lately, and many parties, in consequence, are actually refusing to show their stocks in hand. Metals—Any sales in these during the past fortnight would be within the range of our quotations; but we are only informed of a sale of 200 boxes of tin plates at 15 1 % rs. per box, and have only heard of a sale of some British bar at 31 1 Ars. per candy. Sales altogether must have been to a very small amount, partaking of the general dulness. cotton Manufactures—The absence of demand in the Bazaar, and the approaching termination of our business season, make dealers reluctant to increase their stocks, and there now seems almost no inquiry from without. The sales of the fortnight, therefore, are limited in amount, and show a general decline in prices. Gre7 Jacconets and Madapollams of low quality, upon which a slight advance was obtained in the early part of the month, have again receded in price, and indeed, with the exception of Domestics, particularly 40 inch widths, which are still saleable from the presence of a few Persian buyers in the market, there is scarcely an article in either staple of fancy goods that can be sold so as to remit the present manufacturing costs. The Marwarries are still buying nothing, and in their absence we can only expect a very limited inquiry for lappets, mulls, book muslins, &c. Indeed for the present such fabrics are almost unsaleable. Turkey red goods also are in a depressed state, the regular demand having been lately more than sufficiently supplied. :Woollens—Nothing reported, and it is believed nothing doing in these. The Bazaar is well supplied. Cotton Yarns—ln these we are only advised of the follow ing sales :—Mule Twist, No. 20, 7, 5001 b5. at 6 %; No. 20, 14,0001b5. at 6 1 / 4 ; No. 50, 15,0001b5. at 10 ; N 0.50, 12,9001b5. at 9 3 % annas per lb. Water Twist, No. 30, B,ooolbs. at 8% ; No. 20, 10,2001b5. at 7 5 / 4 ; No. 30, B,ooolbs. at 8%; No. 30, 10,5001b5. at giA ; No. 20-26, 64,0001b5. at 7 3 / annas per lb. Other sales in these, if there have been any, would be within the range of our quotations. A . sale of orange, Nos. 40 and 50, the bundles being of full weight and sold as 3,0001b5., is reported at 1 1 / 2 rs. per lb. Beer—llave nothing to report, none of the new having yet arrived. Spirits—A sale of 15 hhds brandy, at 3 1 7 4 rs. per gallon, is reported to us; but the inquiry for this article continues to be very limited, and only trifling sales can consequently be effected. Some gin in cask is said to have been sold as low as 1 1 / 2 rs. per gallon. Marine Stores—Without change as respects prices, and generally in very limited demand. Saffron—A sale of 441b5., at rs. 17 per lb.,' is reported, and that is the market price of good quality at present. There is still a considerable quantity of inferior at market. Cochineal—The remainder of the parcel that arrived early in the month has been disposed of at rs. 43/4 pe r lb., and the market is again quite bare of the article. Cotton—Transactions in this staple are daily h a b v t in to g effect notwithstanding the continued hi g h rates of freig COURT CIRCULAR.

The uproar whic h followed her entrance is some• thing to be remembered, not described. The whole crowded hats mass displayed a power of lungs truly astounding, and and handkerchiefs waved from ail parts. It was not like the encouragement given to a debut ante, but the Avdcorne g iven to an established favourite —a declaration of ans a little existing s ympathy. For a momeat Mademoiselle Lind ass overcome by her immense recepti o n, but it was fo r a moment only, and as a singer and an actress she had perfect posses sion of all her powers throughout the evening. If the ex - more pe c tations were g: eat, we must s a y that they were than realised. People came prepa red to admire, but theY admired beyond the extent o f their preparation. nos were something entirely new and fresh. The auditors did n know what to make of it. They ha , l heard singers and over again, but here, that wondrous thing, a new sensation was actually created. The conversations in the box-lobbies were all indicative of the highest gratification and the highest wonder, were all variations in the one thente of . Did you ever hear such a thing in your life?" Those rhapsadizin are of our readers who were not in the house s may fancy w e over g, but all that were there, nd had an oppor tunity of joining in general conversation, know that what w e ! are stating is a pure unexaggerated fact. The sustain a notes, swelling with full richness, and fading down to the softest piano, without losing one iota of their qualitS being delicious when loud, delicious when whisper,. , dwelled in the public ear, and reposed in the Public heart. The shake mezzo voce with which she conclud e the pretty air " Quand je quittai ma Normandie Thi s perfectly wonderful for its rapidity and equality. ! air was rapturously encored with the most in heaving heaving of hats and handkerchiefs. Even the w o ll e Y her which she uttered the first two or three notes • _ Romanza " Va dit-elle" so completely took the audie n c e by surprise that they interrupted her progress, and \bile her to stop by their impetuous applaus . 0 , Mademoiselle Lind raised her audience to enthusiast by the exquisite nature of her organ, and by her t P r e ess fect execution, the impression she made on them was no less profound. There is no conventionalitaysaa;:oauct..h,eze, no seizing the strong points of a character and letting P. ll lf,, rest drop. She acts thoroughly, and whether she is singly; or is confined to by-play, her histrionic exertions same. Hence a perfect naturalness, and an of gesture. All seems dictated by the monlent, a d yetanger, or is graceful. There is no stereotyped form for love , ar i what not ; but all has the impress of immediate i n spir __ d _ As striking points we may mention the clinging to the er,r 7 ' se when attacked by Bertram, and the expression of raPl: e u e l e just before the final descent of the curtain, when she • in fini n te . a v r a e r ie a ty l l that she has saved Robert from perdition. We ju t st isjeatve our these points almost at random, and would no Leaders imagine that they jut out like pyrarnids,fia.om tudy, of Her whole conception of Alice is a fine histrionic s he cur . which every feature is equally good. On the fall O f t bons °f taro the burst of applause showed that the expeettl. t i a ct the audience had been more than realised. Thr ee dle a d it a desert. times was Mademoiselle Lind called upon the stage , Mich was a certain hearty " one cheer more" sort o f feeling , w we have never seen so strongly manifested.

No sooner was Jenny seen than a hurricane elan° sounded through the house, lasting for so long of .‘!' d that a perio oat the fair object of it was well nigh overcome with and enduring heartiness.

Her execution of the pretty pastoral, ' ‘ i sk' vrio „ je quittai Normandieinexpressibly naive an d ning, disclosing the specific qualities we have noteseta"still mere perfectly, and meeting with an encore to each a ra t e verse. In the unaccomp anied trio, gi So yetl/C Soar bs j ses," the ustness of her intonat he ion, and her artisticat tact, were of the highest value; hut r grand effort was ill the last scene with Robert and Bertram —the typical colli sion between the principles of g ood and evil which brought her performances to an gend with extraordinary triumph and ecicit. Altogether the first bearing of Jenny Lind has been satisfactory in the extreme, and we do r,ot now wonder at the criticism o f Mendelssohn, who affirm s with generous emphasis, that he bee nowhere " with met such a genuine and true arti st—nowhere found naturfa capacity, study, and deep sensib ilit y , so perfectly unit ea; and that, although here or the re one of these qualities met h a ve appeared much more prominent, he believes the conihe na tion of all these to such a de g ree has never yet 04; cursed." In common , therefore, with others, we can be congratulate her upon achieving such a complete succea: here, in the teeth of expe ctation the most enormous and the m ost exigent. The enthusias m of the audience knew ea bounds. They called her three times before the curtain' ,l e i t , showered flowers upon her in abundance, while handkerchl, were waved in all parts of the house with unmitigable Z¢ gn c; And Jenny received all th ese honours with the Modest that so well becomes her.

Her talent has been car!' r iie trained, and, with a voice not remarkably facilitysynnpathetic!n ja chest tones, she has, by industry, acquired great ,011 , the management of her upper regist r. Her s hakes are we her cad but prepared, articulated, and terminateed. The few notes a". _.4 the line up to B natural are brilliant, and by far he passion of lyrical part of her vocal organ. In acting she identifies : ! e a _ eP ta with her part and is remarkably intelligent, but in the 1 ; 0 " 1 4 asidered SS !nethod of Italian vocalization she must only be con en __ er portraiture musical impulse, and inferior to her Itailian rivals. We are convinced that sh e Iv rii , can be dignified or heroic enough to sustain Norma a , In' Amine! Mide, &c., or passionately impressive to be a Donn : a Desdemona.

The reception of Jenny Lind was most entha siastic, and as the performance proceeded this enthusiss al , grew into a perfect furore. Each time she sang, the W hole tiouse—pit• stalls, boxes, and gallery—applauded simultane' ously, a midst waving oehats and kerchiefs, and such irre pressible laudatory exclamations as baffle all description. Whatever had been anticipated of the vocalist who has 01 1 t eci f the journals, and supplied the topic of conversation f o r months past, she surpasses all expectation, Whatever had been hoped of the splendour Sl' the cast, that likewise was more than fulfills"' Mdlle. Jenny hind, as Alice, in that tend er and sublitaB cavatina known as " Va, dit - elle," exceed ed, indeed, all that has been said of her ; well might an electric burst of apPla, n t e : follow its conclusion. We have never heard a voice eojaa' he hers in sweetness and flexibility ; her ornaments, unlike t._ stereotyped style of the old artistes, are so fresh and so chaet_ ° .. that they seem to be the spontaneous impression and insly tion of the moment. Then her faculty of imp raffia ia swelling and diminishing her voice is quite unequalle ._ all modern singers. We would say that in this rersptect her voice resembled an instrument, were it not fo s.a he extreme sensibility and wonderful power of expres i _r! displayed in all she accomplished with so much t a ru_ . ° artistic finish.
