Gd, INDIA, CHINA, AND EGYPT, (From the Times.) We have received by express from Marseilles our letters from India, China, and Egypt, in anticipation of the Overland Mail of the 15th of October. The dates are from Calcutta to the 3d, Madras to the Bth, and Bombay to the 15th of October; from Shanghae to the 12th, and from Hong-Kong to the 29th of Sep tember, and from Alexandria to the 9th inst. The Governor-General of India had put off his de parture from the hills, and was not expected to reach Calcutta until after the arrival of his successor. If this information be correct—and we have it on good authority—it is tantamount to an acknowledg ment that the arrangements said to have been con templated with regard to Oude will not for the pre sent be entered upon. In Sinde the Commissioner had commenced his duties. It is intended to retain intact the military appointments in civil offices of administration made by Sir Charles Napier. The Governor of Bombay will not visit Sinde until about Christmas.

Mr. Lawrence had succeeded his brother Colonel Lawrence, as Resident in the Punjaub. Our authorities there were on the alert, in consequence of the approaching festival of the Dussera, hitherto a season of frightful disorder of the Seikhs, but every precaution had been taken, and no fears were enter tained that the public peace would be endangered. Another rapid travesty had taken place in the cha racters of the drama at Nepaul. The personage who, within the last few months, had undertaken the shifting parts of kingly pilgrim, invader of his former dominions, and, more recently, of state prisoner, had found means to out-manoeuvre his adversaries and to resume his crown. The old Vizier had been con fined in a tiger's cage.

A R R I A G E. m - One half the world are desolately single, and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em kilter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the p'ea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble , r e gret un comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice densand that health should form an item In the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little MEMOIRS 'On Single and Married Life, " pub. in 2 vols., Is. each (by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively eened, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered ay misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, bat (or the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whom they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on the above subjects, by anqualifled authors, which alone or together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other little publications claim your attention (same price is. each, by post Is. 6d.) calleu " What to Eat, Drink, and Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob servance of the maxims he would inculcate—t 3 do unto others as he would be done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always on the "sunny side of the way." The above works may be had of Sherwood, 23, Paternoster-row ; Carvalho, 147, Fleet •street ; Mann, 39, Cornhill ; Nelson, 457, West Strand; or direct (by post or other wise) from the author (who may be conferred with personally, .r.crnings and evenings), 10, Argyll-plaee Regent-street; and all Booksellers. The zemindary of Goomsoor is still partially in rebellion, in consequence of the measures of Govern ment to suppress the diabolical ceremonies practised there. The matted jungles and pestilential atmos phere of that district are found more formidable than an army or a line of fortresses; and the refusal of the Government to consent to a system of razzias ne cessarily entails a protracted and difficult course of operations. The statement we received by a former mail of the capture of Doonghur Singh was incorrect. Sur rounded in the mountains of Rajpootana, he had ordered his adherents to disperse, and they were suc cessively captured ; but the Dacoit chief himself was still at large. The foundation-stone was about to be laid of a church at Bombay, to be erected in memory of the officers and men who perished in Affghanistan. Trade had, it appears, somewhat improved in the presidencies. Another disaster had befallen the Indian navy. The steamer Indus left Bombay for Kurrachee on the sth of October, and on the 7th she struck on some rocks thirty miles from Diu-head. A large hole was made in her bottom.

The state of affairs in Canton appeared more satis factory, and general quiet prevailed ; confidence seemed in a great measure restored,—money was more easy, with greater activity in trade. The prices in some articles had improved, but in general im ports were low. The Colonial Government seemed to think well of the posture of affairs, for tenders had been advertised for ships to convey the 42d Native Regiment to Madras, and the 18th Royal Irish to Calcutta, leaving the colony with a part only of the 95th and the Ceylon Rifles, which may be considered a small garrison. The French men-of-war, La Gloire and La Victo rieuse, reported by the last mail to have sailed north, were both wrecked off the Island ho-koon-to, off Corea, in lat. 35.47, long. 126.21, on the 10th of August, about 300 miles from Shanghae, to which place two boats were dispatched. Her Majesty's ship Espiegle, then at Woosung, sailed immediately to communicate the sad disaster to Captain Peter M'Quhae, senior officer of her Majesty's ship Dwdalust then fortunately at Chusan, who, with the Espiegle, Captain Thompson, and the Childers, Captain Pit man, sailed immediately, on the 30th of August, to the island, to assist and relieve Commodore La Pierre, his officers, and men, who had succeeded in landing provisions, and sufficient firearms for protec tion. Captain M'Quhae, in the Dwdalus, arrived at Hong-Kong on the 25th September, with Commodore La Pierre, 12 officers, and 296 men. The Espigle and Childers sailed for Shanghae with the remainder of the crew, where a vessel bad been chartered to take them to Macao. During the month of September a fair business had been done at Canton. About 22,000 bales of raw cotton had been sold at rather better prices; about 80,000 pieces of long-cloths disposed of; grays from 2 dolls. 20 cents, to 2 dolls. 65 cents. ; white, 2 dolls. 40 cents. to 2 dolls. 90 cents. The ;prices of yarn had declined, and the stock was heavy. Exchange on England was 4s. W. to 4s. 4d.; East India Com pany's bills accepted, 214. Freights, 51. to 41. 155., with plenty of tonnage. The following is the amount of export of tea from China to Great Britain, from the Ist of July to the date of our advices Black Green ••. 10,794,410 .•• 904,160 11,698,570 About 4,000 bales of silk were estimated to be shipped from Shanghae and Canton for England. The latest dates received at Canton were —from London, July 24; Calcutta, August 16 ; Bombay, August 12 ; Singapore, September 7; and Manilla, the 17th. Our dates from Shanghae are to the 12th of September. Long-cloths had declined, the stock being large. In teas there were limited purchases— none fine. In silk a brisk demand ; prices had ad vanced about 12 per cent. from the favourable re ports by the June mail ; but fine was not procurable; for the best Tsatlee, 410 dolls. to 420 dolls. offered ; Taysaam, 280 dolls. to 290 dolls. Freights, 6/. 10s. to 71. The Confucius and Francis Burn were ready for sea, and the Achilles was to sail about the 20th of September. _ _ _ We have also dates from Amoy to the24th. Markets were generally steady, with a fair supply of goods.

The merchants no longer knew whom to trust. Prices of produce were quite nominal, as the holders preferred waiting to submitting to a reduction. In cotton nothing had been done, but there was no doubt that prices would rule low. The exchanges were getting up, and foreign coins, especially sovereigns, were in :great request. The largest vessel that ever entered the port of Alexandria—the Alfred, of 1,100 tons—had arrived from Liverpool, having brought new boilers and ma chinery for the Viceroy's steam-frigate, the Nile. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. THE BOMBAY MARKET. (From the Bombay Times.) THURSDAY AFTERNOON, FIVE O'CLOCK, OCT. 14. The general tenor of our markets has been pretty much the same during the past as in the preceding fortnight; in that for imports a little more animation has been exhibited with a partial tendency to improve ment in prices, whilst the export one is without change. Cotton Manufactures—A good and rather general inquiry has prevailed for piece goods, and the same having been met by importers, the sales, it will be observed, are large, particularly of shirting, mada pollam, jacconet, and domestic in the grey, the three first-named descriptions, with long cloth suited to dyers, being those most sought after. '?rices are without change, except of low to middling madapol lam, and jacconet from middling quality upwards, which have been the qualities most run upon, and are from one to two annas per piece in advance of last month. For long-cloth, as above, higher prices would also be paid, the same being scarce; but shirting and low jacconet are scarcely so firm as they were, the large sales made having for the present satisfied the de mand. 40 inch width in the former has been the only kind wanted, 45 being neglected ; as are also all kinds of domestic, except coarse and heavy makes in 40-inch widths. In bleached goods there have been transactions to a moderate extent in shirting, madapollam, and jacconet; the low qualities of the last are, however, alone in request, but the prices ruling are low, and not in proportion to what are paying for the same cloth in the grey. Of Scotch fancy goods some trifling sales are reported at former prices. Dyed cloth and prints continue as before, the sales noted showing the depression under which both continue to labour. Cotton Yarn—A good inquiry exists for current qualities in the_grey, and some importers having been freer sellers, a fair amount of business has been done at our quotations, which for 20 and 40 mule are slightly advanced. The following sales have come to cur knowledge : Mule-138,9001b. No. 20 at annas 6i- to 7 per lb. 30 do. do. 7-' do. 40 do. do. 7i to 8 do. 50 do. do. 9- do. 54 bales, of 2001 b. and 3001 b. each.

No. 20, 22, 24, 26, do. 7 1 do. 30 do. do. 8-1 do. 225 bales, of 200 lb. and 3001 b. each. No. 20 at annas 7i per lb. 30 do. do. 8 do. 40 (inferior) do. Si do. Dyed, as before reported, both in demand and price. Turkey red continuing to labour under the same great depression it has done now for some time past, our quotation for it is purely nominal. In it or in orange no sales have transpired. Cotton Thread—A sale of 2,0001 b., 20 to GO, is re ported at 15 annas per lb. Woollens—The same indifference to purchase con tinues to prevail, and the sales made partake in their nature more of forced transactions than caused by le gitimate demand. The following are reported : R. A. P. 6,310 yards of scarlet save list cloth, at 2 4 0 per yard. 2,870 do. 1 8 0 do. 5,030 do. do. 1 2 6 do. 1,440 do. do 1 8 0 do. Frannel—Neglected. ]t .etals.—lron—A. small lot of Swtdibh bar was. sold on the eve of last mail's departure at 48r. per candy, since when nothing has been done in it; but in British a large transaction has recently transpired, said to be 900 tons of a good assortment, at 40r. per candy, to a native speculator. 825 bundles of hoop, partially rusted, is also reported, sold at 7r. per cwt. In sheet or nail rod nothing has been done. In copper the only sales that have come to our know ledge are 300 cwt. Braziers at the advanced price of 63r., and 200 cwt. raised bottoms at 634 r. per cwt., the same having been made about the time of the dispatch of our last mail. Of pig lead 500 cwt. have been sold at 11r., and 800 cwt. at and of spelter 800 cwt. at 131 r. per cwt. ; the former article showing an improvement, and the latter a slight de cline, on the respective prices per last mail. In sheet lead or Swedish steel no sales reported. Cochineal —The demand for this article has again revived, aad for silver we advance our quotation to 4ar. per pound, which is to-day obtainable. No wiles are reported, there being none of the articles in first hands. Saffron —Sales to the extent of 17.51 b. have been made at from 10r. to 131 r. per pound, and the latter must now be considered the price of best quality. Beer—Continues in limited inquiry, but the price of Allsopp and Bass, the only two brands at market, is firmly supported, with trifling sales. Spirits—Brandy and gin are both rather neglected. No sales have transpired in the fortnight—quotations for both nominal. Marine Stores —The only article under this head in which we have heard of sales is canvass, and of it we have to report 300 bolts, bleached (No. 1 to 5), at 16r. per bolt, and 166 bolts, brown (No. 1 to 5), at 15r. per bolt. EXPORTS. Cotton Wool—The month opened with a good deal of animation in the market, which led to a general improvement in prices, and which feeling was main tained up t o th e ar r i va l of the Overland Mail on the Bth inst., 105 r. having in the interim been paid for Broach; 104 r. for Dollera, 92r. to 95r. for Manga lore, and 93 r. per candy for Compta, the latter being an advance at once of sr. per candy. Since the arrival of the mail, however, the market has become quiet, and supplies coining forward freely, prices have taken a turn, and have now a tendency downwards, but as yet cannot be considered under our quotation. At the moment very little is doing. Sheeps' Wool—Several small parcels of Mekran have arrived since our last, and have been sold at from 80r. to 85r. per candy, the quality being in ferior. Of Catch we have also had a little, which has realised 80r. to 95r. per candy, according to quality. These are the only two qualities that we have as yet had any receipts of, so that there is little doing. Opium—Without change, and little or nothing doing in it. Freights—The rate to Great Britain is slightly in advance of our last quotation-61. 12s. 6d. to 6/. 15s. per ton having been paid to Liverpool, and 6/. to 6/. ss. to London, the higher rate being upon small parcels of produce only : these quotations may be considered the rate of the day to the ports named, and 17r. per candy that for China. Exchange—The rate on London has further slightly declined, is. lOad. to Is. 11d., being to-day's rate for six months' sight, and at which transactions to some amount have had effect. [PRICE SD. transactions in this branch of trade generally have fallen considerably short of what usually take place at this season of the year. Nevertheless, a fair busi ness has been done in some descriptions of British cotton piece goods and woollens. Copper and speller have been in good inquiry; the former at advanced prices. The money market has continued easy, but latterly some indications of a diminished supply have been evinced by a less disposition on the part of the shroiL in the bazaar to do business at the rates which have lately prevailed, and by declining to renew loans forcing borrowers to resort to the banks, which con tinue to find ample employment for their funds at their former rates. Government Securities have declined a little in value, owing to money being less free in the bazaar. Exchange has remained without any material altera tion. A good amount of bills changed hands at Is. 11d. to ls. 110. six months' sight, and ls. 114 d. ten months' date, during the first ten days after the departure of the mail, but during the last week no thing has been done of any importance. The abund ance of tonnage in the port has caused freights to give way, and the downward tendency formerly noticed has been confirmed, transactions having taken place at 6/. to 6/. 15s. for saltpetre, sugar, and rice. There is not much probability of any further decline for the present. - Indigo—There is little to add to the last report on the prospects of the indigo crop. Of the districts which had not completed their manufacturing, Be nares,Mirzapore, Ghazeepore, Juanpore, and A zinghur have not improved. The second cuttings in Tirhoot have proved a failure, and that district will, it i s es ti • mated, send down about 18,000 maunds. Kishnaghur has closed more unsatisfactorily than was expected, and Shahabad will do badly. There is no reason to hope that the crop will now reach 115,000 maunds, and in estimating about 113,000 maunds as the probable result the culcula tion will perhaps not be found far from correct. The following is a statement of the expected pro duce from the different divisions : Jessor, Furreedpore, and Dacca ... ... 21,000 24-Pergunnahs, Baraset, Hooghly, and Kishnaghur •.• •• ... 18,000 Midpiapore and neighbourhood ... 2,000 Burdwan and M oors h e d a b a d .. 10,000 Mymunsing, Rajshye, and Boograh ... 4,000 Pubna and M a ld a .. 3,000 Bhaugulpore and Monghyr 4,700 Rungpore, Di nagepore, an d P urneah .. 9,000 Tirhoot and Chuprah ... 21,000 Mirsapore, Allahabad, Benares, and Doab 20,0000 Mds. •112,700 Exports from the Ist of November, 1846, up to date are— Chests.

The reduction in freight, the prevailing rates of exchange, and the readiness of native holders to meet the demand, have caused an animation which for some months past had not been felt in the sugar market. Nothing has been done in Khaurs for Great Britain. The result of operations in most of the recently-established sugar plantations in Tirhoot have as yet, from various unfortunate contingencies, fallen considerably short of the expectations of the enterprising proprietors. The cane in the ground has suffered from the continued heavy rain and Inun dation, but nevertheless, from the increased culti vation, it is expected that the crop of sugar of Eu ropean manufacture from that district will be larger than it was last season. The native plantations in Benares give promise of an abundant crop.

It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acqtir'ed. in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a tear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination in ascertaining the causes of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by his possession of the requisite legal qualifications that lie is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

CALCUTTA MARKETS. OCT. 7.—The Bombay express, closely followed by the Precursor steamer, with London news to the 24th of August, arrived on the sth instant. The mercan tile intelligence brought by this opportunity is still of a very unsatisfactory tenor. Notwithstanding the certainty of an abundant harvest, with most propi tious weather for its operations both in Great Britain and on the continent, business continued in a more languid state than ever, chiefly caused by the effect of extensive failures in the corn trade, five leading houses having stopped for an aggregate amount of about 1,500,0001. sterling, and partly from the mone tary pressure, which continued undiminished, less from present or anticipated scarcity than from dis trust engendered by the failures alluded to. Wheat experienced a further fall of Bs. per quarter, making the reaction in that article .58s. per quarter since the early part of the year. With the exception of cot ton, saltpetre, and sugar, most articles of Indian pro- duce had given way in the general depression of busi. I ness. From China we have news to the 24th of August. Sales of imports during that month had been large, at prices a shade better than those which ruled in the previous month ; but the heavy importations of staple articles had checked any further tendency to advance, and stocks had consequently increased considerably. The briskness noticed in the Overland Price Cur rent of the 18th ult. as animating the Calcutta export market, has been well sustained, owing chiefly to the abundance of tonnage available in the port, the fall in freights, and the anxiety of native holders to realise their stocks before the commencement of the Doorja Pooja holidays. In imports less activity has been manifested, and STATE OF TRADE. MANCIIESTER.—A fair inquiry continues to be ex perienced for some descriptions of goods, but not so much actual business is doing as at the close of last week. In some instances lower prices have been taken for both yarn and goods. The Greek houses are operating rather freely in low printing goods, and are giving out their orders, but at very low rates. No failures of any consequence have taken place here during the present week, nor are any unpleasant rumours afloat; so that, although no very decided improvement lin trade can yet be said to have been experienced, a more cheerful feeling exists, and hopes begin to be entertained that a more extended business will ere long be done, and at more satisfactory prices than those which at present prevail.—Manchester Examiner. LEEDS.—The woollen trade of this town and dis trict continues in a very dull state, but it is not worse this week than it has been for some time past. Indeed, on Saturday the public cloth market wore an im proved aspect, and more goods were sold than for many market days previous • but on Tuesday little was done, owing, in some degree, to a mischievous rumour in the London papers that a large house in Leeds was likely to go down. The report turned out to be as bueless as it was startling and injurious.— Leeds Intelligencer. BRADFORD.—Pieces.—We cannot yet report any decided improvement in our market. It was antici pated that the last America❑ steamer would have brought more orders for this market than as yet ap pears to be the case. Yarns are heavy of sale, and the very small quantity now produced is found quite adequate to the demand, and even difficult to quit. Prices have not altered since our last.--Bradford Ob server. NOTTING a Am.—Lace.—N ovel ties displaying good taste, whether in black silk or cotton goods, command a ready sale; ordinary articles are unusually heavy. Hosiery—There are considerable orders in the town for the United States, for all descriptions of cotton, Lisle thread, and spun silk gloves. The orders for silk gloves more limited. The cotton hose trade con tinues very depressed, particularly the full-fashioned hose; if anything, it is rather worse than better. The cut-up branch is in rather a better state. The drawer and shirt trade was never more depressed than at pre. sent.—Nottingham Mercury. LEICESTER.—Business still keeps falling off. There is a less demand, and it is feared no change for the better will take place on this side Christmas. Manu facturers are acting with great caution, and the num ber of workmen out of employ is on the increase.— Leicester Mercury. MARYLEBONE SAVINGS' BANK, 76, WELBECK-STREET.—Established July 5, 1830.

TUE SANITARY COMMISSION.—The metropolitan sanitary commissioners presented their first report on Saturday. They are known to have specially investi gated (and in two instances to have inspected per sonally) the state of those of the districts chiefly inhabited by the poorer classes, which were the most severely visited by the Asiatic cholera, and to have examined witnesses from them. It is understood that the commissioners' first report is upon the topic of the practical measures in relation to that pestilence. The Westminster commissioners have asked an audience for a deputation to submit their solicitations to the Lord Chancellor for a renewal of their powers. On the other hand, some eminent members of the existing commis sion are known to be adverse to their renewal ; and in other districts local petitions, praying that the com missioners may be superseded, on account of the unsatis factory character of their works, are in the course of signature. — THE CHAIRMEN OF COMMITTEES IN THE NEW PARLIAMENT.—Mr. Bernal, who filled the office under the former administration of the Whigs, is returned to the new Parliament, and will he proposed to the position which he held before with so much satisfaction to all parties ; and it is even probable that no opposition will be offered to his election from any quarter of the House. The private business has increased to such an extent as to render it almost an impossibility for any one person to attend to it and to the public Committees of the House. Mr. Bernal, as we have said, will preside over the House when in Committee; but it is not improbable that the House of Commons may see the absolute neces sity of dividing the superintendence of the public and the private business ; and should Mr. Greene ba con sidered most fitted to preside over the private business, to which he has devoted so much attention, we believe the selection of that gentlemen—should it be found to be the most fitting—would be very generally acquiesced Ver. has "" b r e e ?e a n re les i s st p frcte t d o c a om to m w e n rc i i n ,l E dias n s gl e n r d s than Leeds.

IMPORTS FROM EUROPE. British Cott on Pi ece G oo d s —Af ter t h e departure of the last mail considerable activity w a s di s pl ayed in some sorts of this branch of our trade. This activity, however, slackened in the course of last week, but without causieg any modification in prices, and less business has been done than might have been expected at this season of the year. Preparations for the celebration of the approaching festival have distracted the attention of dealers, and holders are not disposed to tempt them to operate by 'giving way in price. Low and middling gray and white shirtings have been in good demand at an ad- vance of 3to 4 annas per piece. Low and medium gray and white jacconet are also in good demand, the latter at paying rates. Coloured cloths and printed goods of all kinds are dull. Turkey red cloth is in moderate dcznand at former prices. Gray mulls have met with a ready sale. In book muslins, excepting for good qualities, nothing has been doing. Lappets are quite neglected, excepting for a few fine descriptions. In mull mulls, excepting fine goods for local use, there is nothing doing. Woollens are in good inquiry at advanced prices, particularly for 'the common sorts. We are unable to make up the comparative state ment of imports for this mail, but it will go forward by the next opportunity. Mule Twist—Sales have taken place to a less ex tent than might have been expected, owing to holders supporting prices firmly, notwithstanding that the imports are reported to exceed the sales by 1,600 bales. Coloured Yarn—Little has been done in German Dye Turkey Red, and there is no alteration in prices. Metals—ln spelter a good business has been done, some of the principal holders having realised their stocks in anticipation of further supplies from Europe during the next three months, which it is expected will on arrival be fully adequate to the consumption. Copper is in good demand at advanced rates, sheath ing has been sold at 42r. per factory maund, and nails would at present command almost any price. In iron much has not been done, owing to the firm ness of holders in waiting for better prices. For pig 3r. to 4r. per ton advance could be obtained. Beer—The stocks of both Bass's and Allsopp's have been very much reduced, and both brands have lately been quoted at 70r. per hogshead. A sale of 75 hogsheads of Allsopp's at 72r. Ba. has just been reported, and this figure may now be considered the ruling rate. Salt—Recent large imports with further expected arrivals, have caused a reduction in prices, and our quotations are at 48r. for panga, or fine, 70r. for but ter, ar.d 45r. to 48r. for common, per 100 maunds. The following sales are reported:— Liverpool Panda ... 15,000 mds. at Rs. 87 0 per 100 mds.

CANTON MARKET, SEPT. 24. In renewing our monthly advices, we are glad to remark that the obstacles which have of late affected the trade are almost removed; and although many articles of import are depressed, yet from the greater facility of procuring money, the interest on which, however, is comparatively high, there is an evident tendency to enter into operations which afford a rea sonable prospect of remuneration. Cotton—The transactions during the past month are reported at 22,000 hales, the greater part for actual consumption, but at the same time a portion is held by speculators for advanced rates. The late advices from India and England have tended materially to strengthen the market, and holders are firm. As the consumption is steady and there is a speculative spirit among the dealers, the prospects are in favour of further improvement. BOMBAY. Fifteen thousand hales have been cleared at prices ranging from taels 68to 8 3 duty paid. Prices have advanced, particularly for common to middling, and our present quotations are :—common to middling, taels 6 to 7 8 duty paid ; good to fine, taels 8 to 8 3 duty paid. Bengal-3,000 to 4,000 bales have found purchasers at from taels 76t0 8 6 duty paid. Prices have ad vanced about 2 mace, and we look for higher rates, as the stock is small, and in few hands. We quote good to fine, taels 7 9 to 8 6 duty paid. Madras—Sales estimated at 1,500 bales, at taels 78to 8 6 duty paid. The stock is small, and we look for advanced rates. Some few arrivals of new staple have taken place, but the market is very firm, We quote good to fine, taels 7 8 to 8 6 duty paid. Same Same period period Imported. Delivered. Stock. 1846. 1845.

The dealers are not anxious to purchase, fearing that further arrivals may still more depress rates. Holders are, however, firm, but we cannot look for immediate improvement in the face of pre sent large stocks, and our quotations must be considered nominal :—No. 16 to 24, 25 dolls. to 25i dolls.; No. 23 to 22, 25 dolls. to 29 dolls.; No. 38 to 42, 32 dolls to 32 dolls., duty paid.
