The RECORDER.—Re_aIIy we cannot have the contents of the nooks read.—(Laughter). The RRCORDER summed up, and explained the law. It was for them to say whether the prisoner sent the letter with a malicious intention or not. They would recollect that no issue of insanity was set up. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. - The former conviction was proved. Mr. Chanceller stood forward to recommend the pri sorter to the mercy of the Court. The RECORDER—On what ground ? Mrs. Chancellor replied, on the ground that the pri soner was nearly the sole support of his widowed mother ; and because his father had been killed on the railway. The REcoapEn in an appropriate address, sentenced the prisoner to twelve months' hard labour in the House of Correction, and to be once publicly whipped—" Tu show," said the Learned Recorder, " the sort of person you are. That is the end of the notoriety which you have sought—contempt and ridicule ! The contempt and ridicule of your neighbours ; for you will be pub licly, disgracefully, flogged like a felon." The p7isoner was removed shedding repentant tears. MARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY.) Michael During, described on the charge sheet as e prihter, was brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with rubbing his furnished lodgings. Mary Ellen Langlois stated that she resided with her mother, at No. 25, Cumberland-street. The prisoner and a female, who passed as his wife, occupied a fur nished room in their house. On Saturday night last witness missed a dress from an adjoining room to that occupied by the prisoner, and having her suspicions hat he had taken it, she gave him into custody. Whilst the prisoner and the female were at the station, com plaiaant's mother entered the prisoner's room, and . found the bed shipped of every article of covering. Subsequently the prisoner returned from the station. hen on being taxed with the robbery, he immediately admitted it, and said it they would forgive him he, ~oulti restore all the property. She made no reply to has request, but gave him into custody. Police-constable 149 E, said he took the prisoner into. custody about ten o'clock on Saturday night. Ot .catching the room he occupied in complainant's house, he found a number ot duplicates, relating to Tali( us articles of be.i clothing pledged at different pawnbrok• rs. some in the name ot the prisoner, and others in the name of the fi male whom he was living with. The prisoner, who did not neny the charge, was remanded. HER IIAJESTY'S THEATRE. The longest, most brilliant, and most succ• ssful season ever recorded in the annals of her Majesty's Theatre. c1, , 54 don Saturda). The opera was La Sonnambules, with Jenny L'nd as Amina and Gardoni as Elvino—an Amina and the El vino par excellence of the stage. At the conclusion Jenny Lind was called on, we will not , ay how often. Since we have seen the furore which Jenny Lind's performance of this character has inva riably excited, we have ceased to consider as fabul ous the accounts we have read of the " doings" of Italian audiences in the way of calling on and bouquet-throwing ; although until the advent of Jenny Lind, we were not inclined to give implicit beliet to the stories of artistes, who were called on twenty times in the course of a night. The Pas des Deeses was re peated for the last time, and the Deeses smiled their adieux to their respective worshippers until next season. There was a general call for Mr. Lumley at the conclu sion of the opera. Mr. Lumley, however, did not make his appearance, a circumstance we regret, for we could have ‘iished him to have received those plaudits which are so justly his due, for his courage in facing, and his skill in overcoming difficulties before which any ordinary man would have shrunk, but which he turned into a walls of achieving a more brilliant triumph thin had been achieved by any of his predecessors. We had in tended to have given a review of the season ; want of space, however, compels us to defer it until to-morrow. THE NEW PARLIAMENT. On the general election the loss on the balance of as count, as compared with the preceding Parliament, is— To the Protectionists ... ... 29 To the Peelites ... 26 Making a gain to Ministers of ... —55 and making a difference of 110 on a division. This calculation may be relied upon, as the result of a most careful analysis, and of a most correct knowledge, to the letter, of every one of' the new Members returned. The list of Liberals includes none but those known as general supporters of the Administration. The prote,sed followers of Lord George Bentinck may be guessed in round numbers at about two hundred; hut many of those are not indisposed to Sit Robert Peel, it they saw any chance of his re-instalment in power; whilst many others of them openly state their admiration of Lord John Russell, and their desire to support his Government. The friends of Sir Robert Peel, and those of the late Conservative party, who adhere publicly to his new policy, muster about 100; but many of those, in which we may perti.ps include the Right Hon. Baronet himself, exhinit an inclination to give a cordial support to the policy of the present Government. The positive Ministerial strength—irre,pective of the Conservative divisions—will be about 350 —a force not in itself over wl el nine, but strong for good whilst supported by public op,nion.—Sunday Print. STOPPING A RAILWAY TRAIN.—AS the down train, le , . ving Bath at fitty minutes past two. r as.. was p roc , eding towards Bristol last week, two men standinc on ra bark on the side of the line, a short d stance from the Twerton tunnel, hailed the engine driver by waving a red handkerchief on the top of a stick. The red colour being used a dancer sivnal on the railway. the driver immediately reversed the engine. thinking he was likely to meta with some obstacle by proceeding further; and, having stopped the train. gave information to the guard of the circumstance. The guard accordingly asked the parties what they meant by the interruyfion; when one of them said hey had no money, and wanted a lift to Bristol. Being now awake to th, hoax, the guard humour, d their object by giving them a seat in his own box, at the same time mentally regarding them as having, by their conduct, torched " the liberty of the subject," and become his prisoner passengers, while they, in happy ignorance, congratulated themselves on their cheap trip. On the snivel of the train at the Bristol station, they were handed over to the care of Burton, police super intendent of the line, and on Monday brought before the magistrates on a charge of infringing a clause in the company's Act of Parliament, whereby they had rendered themselves liable to a penalty. One of them is an Irish man, named Quasick, arid the other is named Thomas. Evidence to the above effect having been given, they were each fined 40s. and costs, and iu default of payment committed for one month each. An instance of animal sagacity and humanity, un equalled in our remembrance, took place before our door lately. An unfortunate dog, in order to make sport fur some fools, had a pan tied to his tail, and was sent off on his travels towards Galt. He reached the village utterly exhausted, and lay down before the steps of Mr. Young's tavern, eyeing most anxiously the. horrid annoyance hung behind him, but unable to move a step further, or rid himself of the torment. Another dog, a Scotch Golly, came up at the same time, and, seeing the distress of his crony, laid himself gently down be side him, arid, gaining his confidence by a few caresses, proceeded to gnaw the string by which the noisy appen dage was attached to his friend's tail, and by about a quarter of an hour's exertion severed the cord, and started to his legs with the pan hanging from the string in his mouth, and after a few joyful capers around his friend, departed on his travels in the highest glee at his success.—Edinburgh Weekly Chronicle. THE FIRST DIFFICULTIES OF A,NEVr MINISTER. The Independance, of Brussels, gives the following amusing scene, arising out of the late change of the Belgian Ministry A few days ago one of the new Ministers went to the hotel of his Ministry, and desired to be shown into the . cabinet.. The parson to whom he addressed himself replied, The, Minister is not there.' • That may be, hut show me the cabinet.',. 6 I repeat, . Sir, there is nobody in it, and tbereftire—.' ' Pardon me. you do not understand me. Ido not ask for the Minister, but his cabinet.' I understand you perfectly; but when the Minister is absent cannot, and will not. show you into his cabinet.' • You are determined ?' Quite determined.' ' You are very strict, it appears; it may be right, but pray tell me who you are.' Who am I? I am the concierge of the hotel, Sir,' said the person questioned, drawing himself up, and assuming Al the dignity of a man in office. ' And lam the Mi nister; be pleased to show me the way to my cabinet.' " EXTRAORDINARY HONEY FALL.--1 he " natives " of Vs idrnerpool, in this county, were much astonished the other day at discovering on the floor of their church ,omeihing very curious in the shape of a roun i brown cake, very soft withal. Its suspicious colour and ex traordinary appearance for a time kept them at bay, but at length the tffluvium arising therefrom being any thing but inodorous— nay, being '• sweet as honey or the honey comb," several of the more venturesome and less delicate were induced not only to approach but also to taste it ! To the astonishment of all it was found to be real honey; but how did it come there? To solve this problem was a puzzler for a lung time; but at length the secret was found out, greatly to the delight of the whole village. For some time past, unknown to any one, a hive of bees had made their homes in the rafters of the roof, and having filled their waxen cells to reple tion, some slight mischance had broken the fragile ves sels, causing a portion of the golden store to find its way to the floor to create the astonishment and excite the curiosity we have described. Altogether pretty nearly 1001 b. of honey fell to the lot of the fortunate disco verers.—Nottingham Guardian. There were eruptions of Mount Vesuvius on the 2d and 3d instant. On the latter day the stream of lava was fifteen feet in width. Two new but small cratcrs opened, and threw out an immense quantity of fire and stones. SOUTH DUVON.—Such is the appearance of the orchards at present, that prime old cider is selling at 20s. per hogshead. - It is fully expected that new cider will be sold at 15s. per hogshead. The apples are growing fast, and the crop promises to be both excellent and abundant.— Wootmee.s Exeter Gazette. EXTRAORDINARY DEITII,-.O D Thursday night, as a man, named Jtfferies, was poaching fish in Saddles ham mill pond, he attempted to pull a sole through the mt shes of the n e t w i t h his teeth, wh en th e fi s h darted into his mouth and threat, andd - before assistance could be rendered he was a corpse.

By our ordinary semi-monthly dispatch from Mar seilles, in anticipation of the overland mail, we have received intelligence from Calcutta to the 2d, and from Bombay to the Bth ult. The intelligence is not important. • Disturbances still continued to prevail in the pro vince of Goomsoor, and human sacrifices were about to be renewed there. Tranquillity had not been restored in the States of the Nizam. The plan to establish a hank there had not succeeded. At Bombay the rains had been remarkable, 42 inches had already fallen on the 3d ult.; that is more than half the ordinary average, and there were two months of the monsoon yet remaining. The fall in different parts of the Deccan had not been so great. Great apprehension was felt respecting the fate of the Cleopatra steamer, which left Bombay on the 14th of April, bound for Singapore. She encountered the frightful hurricane of the 17th, 18th, and 19th of April, and had not since been heard of. The [nails from London to the 7th of June ar rived at Bombay on the 6th ult. The new Governor of Ceylon had reduced the export duty. on cinnamon to 2i per cent. A general revision of the tariff was likewise reported. They still speak of reducing the Indian army. There are to be altogether 24 regiments of Euro pean infantry in the service of the Company. From New South Wales we have advices to the 10th of April. The military force in that colony was to be reduced to a singlet , regiment, while two were to be stationed in Nevo—Zealand, and two in Van Diemen's Land. Orders had been received to abandon the colony of North Australia, on which it is said that 20,0001. had been already expended. From South Australia we receive favourable re• ports of progress bJth in mining and agricultural operations. The great complaint is , want of hands, and a petition was about to be forwarded to the Colonial-effice to assist in inducing emig ration. An association has been formed in the colony to oppose grants of land for ecclesiastical purposes, the coloni)ts being decidedly averse to what they term the fatal principle of an alliance between Church and State. We have received no intelligence from China of a latter pate than by the previous mail, although the Haddington waited at Point de Galle five days for the steamer of that line, which did not make her appearance. We take the following summary of news from the Bengal Hurkaru of July 2 : " The time which has passed since the date of our last dispatch, though it has produced the usual num ber of small topics for the discussion of the Indian press, has given birth to no political event of suffi cient importance to cause an excitement when its history is told in England. " There has indeed been a revolution in Nepaul ; but such things have been too common in that coun try of late to admit of a more quiet and bloodless change of rulers being looked on even as a nine days' wonder. The history of this event is briefly as follows :—The Maharaja, as our readers may re mem her, came some time ago to Benares, as much perhaps, because it was inconvenient for him to stay at Katmandoo, where his wife was supreme, as for the purpose of performing bis devotions in the sacred river. After staying at Benares some time he left that city, ostensibly for the purpose of returning to his capital. But it appears he never got further than to a place called Segowlee, in the British territories, but near the frontiers of Nepaul. Thence it seems he sent messengers to Katmandoo, calling on the army and the principal men of the country to imprison or kill the Minister Jung Bahadoor, and all his family. On this the "chiefs assembled, and after consultation came to the conclusion that his Majesty was not of right mind. They accordingly determined to depose him and to place the heir apparent on the throne. This resolution was immediately carried into effect, and a letter was sent to the old King signed by all the prin cipal men, informing him of what had been done, re counting his misdeeds, censuring him for his with drawal from his people arid country, and reprobating his order for the destruction of a worthy man and his ancient family. This substitution of one King fur another, thus quietly effected, will in no way affect the relations between the British Indian Government and that of Nepaul. " From the Punjaub we hear that the Governor- General, seeing that the people of Hazareh are not likely ever to submit quietly to the rule of Ghoolab has permitted the restoration of that district to the Lahore state, in exchange for another tract of country. The Sovereign of Cashmere is said to be well pleased with his bargain, being glad to be rid of subjects so troublesome as the Hazareh people had been and were likely to continue. " The accounts from Peshawur continue to tell of reform and retrenchment steadily and quietly carried on under the auspices of Major George Lawrence. General Ghoolab Singh, Povindeea, has been installed beikh Governor of the province. " From Caubul the latest news received is to about the middle of May. Dost Mahomed had returnee' from his campaign among the insurgent Ghilzies, and had boasted so vain-gloriously in open durhar of his achievements in the field, that the sons of Mahomed Zeman Khan lied abruptly quitted the presence in disgust. His Highness seems to have incurred the displeasure of mat y of his chiefs, including his son Wuzeer Ukbar Khan, by his supposed leaning to wards an alliance with the British. There are reports of correspondence carried on betwixt the Ameer and our authorities through the intervention of his brother Sultan Mahomed Khan, at Peshawur, but of the nature and objects of the various communications little is yet known. " The most important item of news from Aff ghanistan is of a quarrel betwixt the Ameer and the Kuzzilbash tribe, ending, as it seems, in a fight. The origin of this misunderstanding remains a mystery, which the next accounts will probably clear up. The Ameer entertained a vague suspicion and mistrust of the tribe, but could not, or would not, when challenged, put his fears into the shape of a specific charge against any of them. He declared, however, that if his suspicions were verified, he would expel the whole tribe from Caubul. Subsequently, the anger or distrust of the Ameer induced him to order that certain deductions should be made from the pay of the Kuzzilbash troops ; and it was rumoured that he meditated an attack upon the quarter of the town inhabited by the tribe, for the purpose of destroying their forts. Finally, a note of late date mentions that an affray had actually oc curred betwixt the Kuzzilbashes and the Caubulees, two of the Ameer's sons taking part with the latter. We shall probably learn more of this affair very shortly. One Jan Fishan Khan, well known during our Affghan campaigns, and now living in our terri tories, has been writing to his countrymen, calling on them to prepare to repel an invasion of the British, who, he said, would be among them in six months. The Ameer had sent the intercepted letters to the Resident at . Peshawur, and declared his conviction that they were false. " The robber chief, Doonghur Singh, whose rescue and escape from the gaol at Agra created such a sen sation some time ago, and whd has since been exer cising his vocation in Shekawattee and the neigh bouring territories, has lately performed an exploit which throws jet() the shade all his former achieve ments. At midnight on the 18th ult. a band of armed men, many of them mounted on horses and camels, surrounded and suddenly attacked the Mili tary Pay-office at Nusseerabad, killing six of the guard, and desperately wounding as many more hey then forced open the treasure-chest and carried off its contents—some 27,000 rupees. This took place on the skirts of a cantonment where a regiment of Native Infantry is quartered; but though the principalitypbpt troops o eo o sc: s p lh ia seoi proclaimed e e oodrfue the hi Council ae m i vl and me measures immediately. anne i s a oa ue t ti e igrhfahn l eees y ags jnurs turned crhhawyeaaal nisshaasodi suppressed bpnhaec out jpnrehre:hnieyul in pursuit, the cant of cavalry rendered the chase totally ineffectual. The robbers got clear off; carrying with them their booty, all but about 2,000 rupees, which was on a camel that was, it is said, shot by the pursuing troops.

At Hyderabad affairs remain in disorder, and it is not easy to foresee how they are to be disentangled without the active interference of the Supreme Go vernment. " The affairs of the India General Steam Naviga tion Company.have lately been the theme of much discussion; originating in an informal meeting of shareholders held on the 19th ult. The regular half yearly meeting is fixed for the 19th instant, and will, it is to be hoped, place . goatters . ,on a more satisfactory footing. " A draught Act has been promulgated, designed tb regulate coroners juries in Calcutta. Hitherto it has been found almost impracticable to assemble a jury of twelve, and it is now proposed to legalise a iury of three. This measure, if carried out, will be a bold but justifiable innovation on time-honoured prejudices. notification has appeared in the Gazette an ouncing that henceforth imported salt may be bonded in private warehouses licensed by the controlling Board. " The state of commercial matters is anything but cheering. With the exception of rice, which is in great demand, all heavy articles of export are entirely out of demand, partly in con sequence o f th e unfavour able news brought by th e ma i l of the 7t h o f M a y, and partly from the exorbitant rate of freights which are quoted at 10/. per ton. The money market is Still excessively tight. Exchange is quoted at 2s. Old. to 2s. Oid. for ten months' bills. " The abundance of rain during the past month has not been favourable to the Indigo crop, which cannot now be expected to rise above the average, unless, indeed, fine weather in this month should im prove its chances. " The weather in Calcutta has been seasonable and pleasant, frequent and sometimes very heavy showers, with a moderate temperature. The fall of rain regis tered during the past month was 12.01 inches. At Bombay there fell in one day, the 12th ult., not less than 13i inches ! The English mail of the 7th of May came in on the 15th inst. ; that of the 24th may be looked for ,rnmediately." COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Calcutta Overland Price Current, July 2 .) In our last report we could not refrain from gloomy • torebodings as to tie effect likely to beproduced here by the very unsatisfact or y intelligence conveyed by the London mail of Apr i l 24, an d we now regret to sa y that .ur anticipations have been realised, for since the ar ival of the Haddington on the sth 'of June to the 15th .11. t., on which date the Government ex * Pressts via Bom nay, put us in p ossession o f t , latir4 news, there was a stagnation in business generally: Our - London advices to the 7th of May were not calculated to mend matters, for whilst commercial affairs at home rernaintd in such an unsettled state, any improvement could hardly be ex pected in our market. The unsatisfactory report, there fore, wi.ich we must now proceed to give, will be a mat ter of but little surprise to our friends at home, though is regards our import trade, some improvement might have been looked tor, considering the low prices current oere for most stap:es compared with their actual cost, as ilso in consequence of the advance d period of the season. which, owing to the opening of the river 'navigation, has for past years always been characterised by considerable animation in the - exchange of European and Indian con - .podities. This circumstance can only be accounted for the great pressure in the money market, and the high rates of freights current, which render most of our staples almost un'.aleat,le, whilst the native dealers, de pending for funds upon the sale of their produce, are bus prevented from making their annual purchases of European manufactures. Our money market continues still very tight, and the bank maintain their highest rates of interest. and dis count; we are, however, happy to say that the h ome accounts have not had the effect upon our monetary matters which might have been anticipated, and, though accommodation continues in much r& quest, a better feel ing seems to exist, which has given to Government secu rities a tendency to a slight advance. Exchange on E ng l an d has somewhat fluctuated. O n the Bth ult. our qu o tati o ns were 2s. Old. to 2s. Oid. p er rupee, for ten month s ' date, and about 2s. fbr six m o nth s ' sight bills, bur, principally owing to the falli ng o ff i n t h e remittances by Treasury dratiAlits (those by the Had dington only amounting to about 97.0000 these rates could not be maintained; and, ere the closing of the express, business was done at an advance of about 2 per cent. On the receipt of the mail of the 7th of May the rates again became unsettled; and, notwithstanding that the amount of remittances was even more moderate than by the previous opportunity, the impossibility o f ma ki ng returns in produce, owing to the scarcity of tonnage, forced buyers into the market, and our rates may now be quoted at 2s. for six months' sight bills, and 2s. (id. to 2s. Old. for those of ten months' date. An almost unprecedented inactivity, for the season, has prevailed in our produce markets, and the transac tions appear to have been mostly limited to rice; for the high rates of freight, which the large shipments of that article has kept up, precluded ex ten sive operations in any of the other bulky staples, whilst the o th er more freight,valuable is prcohdieuficy such as is most affected in the homee, which can comparatively bear higher markets by the prevailing distress and tightness of money there. The transactions in imports have been on a very mo derate scale, but little inquiry being as yet manifested for the upper p rov in ces . C o nsidering the present scarcity money—the uncertainty as to pecuniary r e li e f—and the limited demand for produce, all of which seem likely to continue for sortie time to come, it is difficult to fix on any definite period for a favourable reaction in the pre ,ent state of affairs, particularly so when the ntaitional ..hipmenis to arrive within the next two months, which will add considerably to our present stuck, ale taken into consideration. The favourable advices for rice brought by the Had ,thigton having bee , . confirmed by the subsequent mail, and the great scarcity of shipping in our river still con inning, freights have been steadily advancing, and we may now quote our rams as follows:-91 10s. to 91. 15s. for sugar and rice, at which almost all vessels here, and xpecied to arrive, have been taken up. Under these cacumstances we do not see any possibility of a mate rial decline taking place won, particularly as the large quantities of produce rapidly accumulating in the bazaar must eventually find their way to Europe, whilst the 'hipping lists from England show comparatively but few vessel. bound to India. We have to notice the total loss of the Roberts, which vessel was ournt to the water's edge, off Saugor. on the 29th ult. She was bound to China, and the prin cipal portion of her cargo consisted of about 3,700 bales of cotton, and 1,150 hags of saltpetre. Crew saved. Indigo—ln our last issue of the Bth ultimo we stated that at that time prospects were for a full average crop. We now regret, for the sake of our planter alvtida, to be obliged to report continued heavy rain over nearly every district in Bengal. In Jessore, where the sowings were some., hat late, we fear it has done irreparable injury, and few, if any, that district are likely t o turn out of the planters in more than last year. In Dacca, M y in ensing, Pubna, and Rajshye, they had a splendid show of pl ant, but have suffere d Equa lly from the heavy rain, and w i thin the past eight day s _ the rivers h ave b en risin g ,'il destroyed, particularly with unusual rapidity , and much of the pl a nt had De in the two first-named district in districts.hnag ur Kis h has been • more fortunate, and chiefly the southern parts , the e land being high, arid consequ ent l y b e tt e r able to bear the heavy rains; to the northward, however, and to wards Jungypore, the prospects are indifferent. From Bhaugulpore also our acc ounts are bad, t h e gre ater part of the low lands having b een complete l y swam ped, and none of the planters look forward to an average season under the most favourable circumstances. Poorneah has also suffered from the same cause; some concerns in Maldah will do pretty well, but it is doubtful if any of them will make a large season. The accounts from Tir hoot are diversified; from som e p a rts we hear of con stant heavy rains injuring th© plant,—f rom others, that they are suffering from drought, whilst at more fortu nate concerns prospects continue good. In Benares and the north-west provinces they had commenced sowing, and much will depend upon the state of the weather during the next twenty days, but as yet the e x p ectations of the planters are good. Upon the whole, we think th a t th ere is no reason to anticipate a larger crop than an average one, under the most favourable circumstances, while a return of bad weather may make it less. For the last few days we have had in Calcutta fine sunny weather, alternated with showers of rain, and we trust the same has extended to the interior. Sugar—Our market is at present well supplied with the new Benares sorts, which have found purchasers to a limited extent at Br. 12a. to 9r. 4a. for the finer descrip tions, but the demand is far from active, caused by the high ruling of tonnage for England, nor do we see any prospect of improvement; unless holders submit to a very conaiderable decline in order to compensate for the high freights which shippers are obliged to pay, and of this there is little probability, as the present prices are lower than they have been for a length of time. In the lower &-scriptions of Khaur 'soiree sales have been ef: tected to local refiners, but for the English market there is no demand. • Esparta in all June were 56,000 maunds. Saltpetre—The improved position of this staple in the London market, conatquent. on the i apidly & creasing stocks, has caused some parties to come forward, and a few purchases have been made for Great Britain at about former rates. The; Americans still continue in the brisk demand for mail, itescanrdipa market, and the French hey° latterly come forward to a n o p f la t l h e e , ve la :i t ch will in all trifling extent. a. it is reported that a large Rice—There has been a d in the course of rh e next up for the conveyance of the s ti l o ig n h s t o a f d r v i a c n e ct s , since the price eeh has taken ~p m r o, l am a n b t i lo i tt y t b o a nn tn ag s e in e t z a p in t, e c d o , markets.• Exports in all month has been taken werestaple n tii 6 t B . h 6 e m,,s. Raw Silk —Notwithstan uin g the unfavoura ble state of the home market for this s taple, purchase s cont i nue to be made to a moderate ex tent, the low p rices now ruling , here apparently holding o ut an inducement t o operate for the English market. Cossimbazar has bee n placed at 7r. Ba. to 7r. 12a., a nd Beauleah at 6r. to 6r. 12 a . per Radnagore an liarp have also found elders of Corah having evinced factory seer ; to Br. par bazaar seer.

The Americans have also been in the mar ket to a trifling extent. Shellac and Lac Dye — w e have scarcely a single transaction to report in either of these articles, pur chases being confined to a fe w lots of native manufac ture ; the bulk of the shell lac shi pp ed thi s month being on manufacturers account. having B afc' comewer— o Th stood th a t . it_ w ill not exceed 6,000 maunds, previous maintained , ' and* as hi gh 1 prices are f u ll y as 48i.

The French have been, and are still in the market, and have already taken off about 500 maunds, so that there is little probability of more than EVENING, AUGUST 23, pB47. 4,500 maunds or 5.000 maunds finding its way to tho English markets, which will be a very abort supply compared with that of the two past s ears, which were for seasons 1845-1846, 19,100 m aun d s, and 1846-1847. 15,227 maunds. • Oil Seeds—We have not heard of a single purchase having been made in any description of goods - under this head for the English market, the continued high !Whiz of freights having apparently acted as ecomplete check to operations.. .The Americans and French have been in the market, and both linseed and mustard seed have maintained their price, and for the former a slight ad vance is being paid for superior cleaned lots. ' Hides—Transactions in this staple have, during the past month, been almost suspended for the British mar ket, and prices of such descriptions as are adapted for that market may be considered as merely nominal. Some of the shipments gone forward on account of natives are said to contain very inferior quality of hides, which, it is feared, will not repay the sums advanced. The Ameri cans in the early part of the month made several pur chases of cow hides, but have lately confined themselves to buffalo hides. For France very little has been bought. The stock here is now very large, and will be further in creased by the large quantities now on their way from the provinces. - Opium—The public sale of opium, which took place on the 17th ultimo, exhibits the following result : Cbest;. Highest. Lowest. Average. Proceeds. Patna 1,690 1,315 1,290 1,300 12 6 21,98,325 Benares 715 1,260 1,250 1,253 6 9 8,96,200 Since the above sale prices have a little rallied, and we now quote Patna opium 1,290 re., Benares, 1,245. IMPORTS FROM EUROPE. British Cotton Piece Goods.We have again to report a quiet market for nearly all descriptions of goods under this head, the sales of the month being principally con fined 'to the demand for local consumption, . the demand for the up. country marts generally felt at this season of the year not hiving yet taken plate, the greater amount of sales reported have been in . low gray shirtings, which continue inquired • after, being light in stoeit ; the better sorts can only be passed oft by impor ters submitting to a decline on the low ;,prices ruling previously, which in some instances has been done, acid considerable parcels have folind buyers. The lower descriptions of bleached shiitings. have also been sold to some extent, .but - the finer sorts cannot be placed except at a considerable sacrifice. Grey Madapallanr of low qualities are saleable, but butter sorts are neglected; whites are also di ffi cult of s a l e , : L o w greyjaconets have met with a ready sale, in some in stances a slight advance on former rates,, but in these, as in nearly all cloth, the finer, sorts . have been' neglec ted, and are difficultof sale unless at a eicrifice t • there- is, a slight inquiry for the finer threads of biesched, t.h6 - stock of which sort is light. - - Coloured and Printed Goods;:—There-cont§ues to be a slight demand experienced for 'these good 4 but the, prices obtained are very low. The torts priniipally in. quired for are low Bengal stripes,' which brave been placed to a considerable extent at, for common, 2r. Ba. per piece, and for better sorts 3r.,, for which there is a lair inquiry. Most other descriptions are neglected, and can only be forced of by a heavy sacrifice being submitted te. Turkey red cloths, both plain and printed, meet with a ready sale at remunerating rates. Woollens—Our market for these goods' has been . un• usually dull at this season of the year, which' is gene rally looked on as the briskest, and sales can' only be effected by importers submitting to a discount of 15 to 25 per cent. on invoice. Mule Twist—Holders having shown more disposition to reduce their stocks by submitting to a slight. decline on former rates, sales to a considerable extent have been made, consisting principally of No. 40. Coloured Yarn—There has been a slight improvement in the demand for German dye Turkey red, which has been placed to some extent at lr. Ba. per lb. Sales are also reported of English dye at lr. 4a. per lb., but the latter is in moderate demand. In other colours we have not heard of any transactions. Beer—A large sale of Allsopp's brand has taken place at 70rs. per hhd., which figure importers were induced to accept on account of the extent of the purchase, say 1,500 hhds.; since which, however, they have shown no anxiety to sell, and prices may be quoted at BOrs. per hhd. In Bass's, considerable sales were made at 85rs., but in order to close a shipment 80rs. was accepted for a small parcel on hand. • Metals—We have little, if any, improvement to.notice in the position of our market for metals, it being still seriously affected by the continued pressure on our money market, and the difficulty the bazaar merchants )expe- Hence in disposing of their sugars. Copper hal been placed to a moderateexten4 sheathing may be quoted at 37r. 4a., and slab at 30 per rad. and tile at Sa . Rs 33-4 per rod. In spelter we have heard of 'but few transac tions, holders being firm, owing to th e li g h tness o f stocks; some small sales are, however, reported at Ct. Rs. 10 3 per md. Iron has been in rather better inquiry,, sales of flat, bar, and bolt having been made at Rs. 3-8. per md., and sheet has been sold to arrive at Rs. , 6.2; hoop may be quoted at 5-14 to 6, at which figura it is readily saleable, stocks of this kind being light. Salt—Government, by a public notification, annotinced the new modifications in the rules for bonding salt. A portion of the Gov.ernment Golahs on the opposite, side of the river will be available at a fixed rent for bonding imported salt, but parties desirous of bonding it in, pri vate warehouses will be permitted to do so upon a fa vourable report of the collector of customs and_ the sanction of the Salt Board. The rate of wastage allowed is ;o be four per cent. on the quantity weighing over the ship's side, but the import duty will be Settled on the quantity so delivered. All expenses attei dant oe receipt, storage, custody, and delivery at warehouses so licensed, are to be defrayed by parties 'bonding. the total bonding rules of the 28th of September, 1841, will continue to govern the practice in all cases in which the new warehouses are:not concerned, or where license is not granted. We trust that these facilities afforded by Government will give a new impulse to the impor tation of salt from England, though under present cir cumstances the advantage now gained seems more ima B inary than practical. Exchange—The fluctations which have prevailed in the rates of Exchange since our last report, have b. en checked by the falling off in the remittances from home and the impossibility of shipping produce to Europe fur want of available tonnage. Buyers have, thereldre, been forced into the market, and the bulk of the trans actions for the present mail may be quoted at 2s. per rupee for six months, sight drafts ; and from 2s. Old. to 28. • Oid. -for 10 months, date bills. Although we have heard of some l urchases having been made of un exceptionable bills on much better terms, yet theie solitary transactions do not come within the scope of the prevailing and current rates MONEY MARKE P. The tightness in our money market still continues, and the banks maintain their highest rates of interest and discount. It was feared that the news of the mone tary dtre.ngement at home would seriously affect our market, but those apprehensions seem to have been groundless, for on the w hole there appears to exist a better feeliwg, and we confidently hope that after the next opium sale, which is the last of the season, money will become comparatively more easy. Public securities show a slight tendency to an advance, and considerable amounts of the new Five per Cent. Loan have changed hands during this week.

BURGLARY AT A LICENSED VICTUALLER'S.—Yes terday (Sunday) morning the premises of Mr. Procter, the Old King's Head, Blackfriars road, were feloniously enters-d by thieves, and property to a considerable amount was successfully carried away. It appears that about one o'cloCk the 'amity and servants retired to reit, leaving the house secured, and at seven, when the bar man came down, he discovered that the place had been broken into. A large quantity of silver plate, and cash to the amount of 25L, had been stolen by the burglsrs. Upon making a minute examination of the premises, it seems that they effected an entrance at the rear of the house,. scaling a wall in Wellington-street r by which means they easily ran along another portion of brick work, which brought theta to a small window, muhicating with the bar-parlour, where they knew the plate and cash were kept. Lieut. Munro is now confined in one of the con demned rooms, where all persons against whom sentence of death is recorded are placed. He has been informed th a t until an order to the contr ar y b e received from.the Secretory of -State, be will have to be put upon prison 'allowan'ce, being deprived of the:.few-.comforts- he• has enjoyed since his surrender. It is stated that in addi tion to the witnesses who spoke to his general charac ter, none of whom, it seems, had been communicated with, but who came forward voluntarily, there were 30 or 40 other in attendants on the trill. AMERICA. ARRIVAL O.T.' THE SARAH SANDS. LIVERPOOL, AUG. 22. By the screw steam-ship Sarah Sands, Captain Thompson, which arrived at Holyhead yesterday evening, and entered the Mersey this morning, we have received advices from New York to the 3d inst. inclusive. The Sarah Sands left New York on the morning of the 4th, and brings a considerable num ber of passengers. The commercial advices are again important. The steam-ship Hibernia's accounts hence to the 20th of July arrived at New York on the morning of the 2d instant. The market for bread stuffs immediately gave way. Flour fell to 5 dolls. 50c. for Genessee, and 5 dolls. 25c. for brands of Michigan, being a de cline of fully half a dollar; and, on the 3d, sales of Ohio and Michigan were made at 5 dolls. 25c., Oswego 5 dolls. 50c., and prime Genessee 5 dolls. 60ic., but no transactions of importance. Cotton, on the arrival of the European advices, assumed greater firmness, and considerable sales were made at full prices. Freights were steady. Exchange had improved. Prime bills on London sold on the 3d at 61, and the great drawers asked 61, but did not sell, however. The payment of the interest of the Penn sylvania State debt was made three-fourths in in current funds and one-fourth in specie and: pecie • funds. • The political accounts are unimpOrtant, and leave still in doubt the reported appointment of peace com 'Commissioners by Mexico.. - . The, health of the city of Vera Cruz had been re established. The Governor of Vera Cruz - is said to have received information that an attack, would be wade on that place immediately after the departure of General Pearce. The necessary preparations for an effectual defence had been made by the Governor. Letters from authentic sources have been received at Veil' Cruz from the city of Mexico, which posi tively state that Santa Anna is in faiour 'of peace, and is only waiting until the peace party shall ac ^trifire • undisputed ascendancy before publicly - de claring his sentiments. It was not known' at Vera Cruz whetlifer Santa Anna Or the Mexican Congress had selected the commissioners to confer with Mr. Trist. Indeed it was not positively known that the Congress had even assembled at all, but it was understood that the peace commissioners were assembled o n the 7th of July, by order of the congressional body. The Sun of Anahuac avers that the commissioners represent the views of Santa Anna, and therefore draws the .con elusion that the latter is decidedly in favour of the re-establishment of peace between the two Go vernments. The Fico Iris of the 13th asserts that the commissioners had accepted of their appoint ments, and taken their dep rture for the purpose of discharging the duties entrusted to them; This course, observes the Iris, is approved by a large majority of the most influential men in the republic, and whose exertions, in a great degree, contributed to this result. Santa Anna still remained in power, and no change in his cabinet had occurred. A majority of his in nisters were said to be in favour of an immediate adjustment of the difficulties between their own country and the United States of the north. General Pillow arrived at Puebla on the Bth July. Negotiations for peace were under consideration as late as the 11th, up to which time General Scott had not moved towards the capital. The New Orleans Commercial Times states, that a French gentleman at Tampico, who left the capital on the 6th of July, declares iat the Mexican Con gress was not in session at that time, and that nothing was known relative to the appointment of commis sioners. The New Orleans Bee represents the accounts from Mexico as conflicting, but those from the most authentic sources indicate a disposition to negotiate. The terms conceded by the United States, however, must, it says, be very liberal. The Great Western was at Tampico. The Spanish steamer Leon, formerly the Mexican Guadeloupe, had left New York for Cadiz. The French steam-ship. Philadelphia arrived at New York on. the 2d instant, from Cherbourg, after a run of seventeen days. She took out no news of a late date. Our Canadian accounts are unimportant.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. wee APa had o im r i o y: rn y fay,o favo u rs, occasionr, Aug.t ando2 . find—w eI faultt h i a s a d long whiotphe timedthaemore so bestowal i i n m ce . partial tra had dawned on the administration of naval af.ai r, when the present First Lord was appointed to office. It is with extreme regzet e find ourselves mistaken in our supposition, as the two p romotions which head the list below exemplify. We know nothing of Captain Broun or Captain Clifford person ally, and the" World is equa'ly ignorant of the services they may have performed to have entitled them to be promoted over.the heads of so-many other deserving* men. They may be good officers—assuredly are very' fortunate ones—but where promotion can only be obtained by death vacancies, certainly some more dis crimination than has been evinced in the cases under notice ought to guide the nava; Commander-in-Chief in his bestowal of rewards. - As parallels to the two cases alluded to, we will just instance two unfortu nates on the per contrd side of Fortune's day-book. Commander William Radcliffe (1830) of the Apollo troop-ship, refitting in this haihour, and Commander Arthur Morrell (1823) late of ; . the Tortoise store and guard ship at, and Governor of ,'the Island of Ascen• sion. The former is a lieutenant of 1816, the latter a lieutenant of 1809. In neither of the official re• sources at the public disposal are any services what ever recorded of eitber of the officers yesterday promoted from the rank of commander to that of captain. Now look at the per contra cases :—Commander Radcliffe entered the service in 1809, served all the war ; was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant for his gallantry at Algiers ; served in the Tyne under Captain Goy. don T. Falcon ; in the Hind, under the Hon. Captain Rous ; in the Marten, Captain Henry Eden (now private secretary to the First Lord of the Admiralty); and in the Undaunted, under Sir A. W. Clifford; in the two latter as First Lieutenant. He was promoted to the rank of Commander in 1830 ; has since been very actively employed in the Apollo in various parts of the globe, particularly at Monte Video, where the Apollo landed her guns and her crew (in conjunction with the crews of the Eagle and French steamer Ga zendi) by throwing up a battery, and defending the east point of Maldonado for several days against a strong force of Oribe's army. He (Commander Rad cliffe) also received a letter from the Lords of the Admiralty, stating that they had recorded his services in bringing the Apollo safely out of Waterloo Bay, Cape of Good Hope, after losing all her anchors, in consequence of tremendous " rollers" setting in,- the ship, at the time, having her Majesry's 73d Regi- , ment on board. He still, we believe, remains the Senior Commander actively employed afloat. Captain Clifford (promoted yesterday), was a Midshipman in the Undaunted, his first trip to sea, when CommeiV• der Radcliffe was first Lieutenant in the same ship. He (Captain Clifford) appears in the .Navy List a Lieutenant on the 7th of May, 1838 ; and Commander on the 7th of March, 1842 ; and has been a short time in the East Indies as Commander of the 16-gun sloop Wolverine, recently paid off at Chatham. Cap tain Broun was First-Lieutenant of the same Un daunted in her next commission, after Commander Radcliffe had been promoted; and has served a little more than one year as Commander of the St. Vincent. Sen W ie i r th Co r m eg m a a rci nde t° r oCforhamtandyeear M r, in ,the he ll N l a B, 17 23 L t is h t e , his, if possible, is a more melancholy case than that of the officer whose claims we have just recapitulated. Re was mate of the Polyphemus, and commanded one of her boats at the capture of a privateer off St. Domingo, in 1808. Was Senior Lieutenant of the Termagant, at the reduction of Genoa, and of the Revolutionaire, and in command - of her boats, at the capture of two piratical vessels. He subsequently served in various parts of the world, and was, in De cember, 1844, appointed Governor of Ascension as a permanency, but in less than two years from the date of his appointment to that post was dispossessed of it, and came home in the Hydra steam sloop sane months since, after being pit "to' much expense is sending for his wife and family out, and establishing them at Ascension. The Agincourt, 72, Captain Johnstone, flag of Rear-Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane, K.C.8., late Commander-in-Chief on the China and East India Station, arrived at Spithead at seven o'clock this morning ; Sir Charles Ogle, the Commander-in- Chief, .being absent on leave, and his flag struck, Rear-Admiral Hyde Parker, C. 8., the acting Com< mander-in-Chief, who is junior to Rear • Admiral Cochrane, had to salute that officer first, thus revers ing the usual order of that ceremony, although the flag (blue) at the mizen of the Agincourt was neces sarily junior to the white one of Rear-Admiral Par , ker. This - arose from the circumstance of Sir Thomas Cochrane not having rec ivied any official in formation of his promotion from blue to white and from the white to the red squadron of the fleet. As he is now senior officer so long as he remains at this port, Rear-Admiral Hyde Parker's authority as Commander-in-Chief is superseded. The Agincourt has been in commission five years and seven months, and has of course been employed in all the operations against the Chinese and the pirates of the coast. Five years being the maximum time appointed for a ship's term of commission on a foreign station, man, of her crew who have been in her the whole term will receive double pay for the overtime.
