Sugar, which was in little inquiry for some days previous, came more into favour on a slight decline in freights taking place, and the transactions have been on an extensive scale. Rice has also par taken of the activity, and large quantities have gone forward. In all other articles the demand has been good, and generally speaking the position of mercan tile affairs here is healthy. The market for imports has also assumed a more active appearance, the de mand for manufactured goods being brisk, and large ales are reported at rather improving rates for shippers. In metals generally there has been also more doing, still the demand is not by any means so brisk as might be looked for at this season of the year. The increasing easiness in the money market, which was manifesting itself, has continued steadily to improve, and although the banks have not reduced further their rates of discount, ac commodation on good securities is procurable in the bazaar on more moderate terms. Government secu rities have advanced in value, and are only kept at their present figure by the five per cent. loan remain ing open. In Bank shares there has not been much disposition shown to operate. The North-Western Bank of India and Agra and United Service Bank have each declared a dividend at the rate of 12 per cent. per annum on paid-up cap i tal. The Haddington steamer, with London dates up to the 24th of July, arrived on the evening of the 4th instant, the intelligence by which, although gene rally speaking of a favourable tenor, does not notice any improvement in the position of East India staples in the home markets. Sugars still continue very low, and the prices at which indigo had been sold at the July sales must entail a heavy loss on shippers of the article from this country. It is gratifying, however, to learn the flourishing appearance of the coming crops, which has caused an improvement in the ma nufacturing districts, and it may fairly be hoped that when an abundant harvest is beyond doubt Colonial produce generally will improve. any yn change how everin favour o f Our exchange on England has va r i e d very l i ttle since w th h e ie d h epa h r as tur t e ak of ea o thel a a e s e t has b mail, drawers. The increasing demand for tonnage for sugar and rice having continued, freights have been well supported and the tendency is now upwards. Indigo—A pretty accurate idea may now be formed of the outturn of the present season, nearly all the principal factories in lower Bengal having com pleted manufacture, the result of which has in some instances been more favourable than could have been expected; some, however, have not been so fort una t e , and on th e whole not more than an average season can be looked for. Tirhoot has experienced constant rains, coupled with which the inundation has been higher than for many years past, most of the lands having been completely put under water, and in many instances even the manufacturing houses have been rendered useless, consequently a consid era bl e d ecrease must be looked for from this district. Bhaugulpore has also suffered from the same causes, and there is now little chance of its doing better than last year. The latest advices from Benares and Dlirzapore give a most gloomy account of their prospects, the Ganges having risen higher than it has been known to do for the last 20 years, by which some of the lands under indigo cultivation were inundated, so that there is little chance of even an average season from that quarter. Taking a general view of the whole coun try, there is little to lead to the hope that the quantity available for export from Calcutta will exceed the figure given of 115,000 maunds, and should the late intelligence be confirmed there is still room for a con siderable falling off.

We received this morning, at three o'clock, by ex press from Marseilles, our dispatches in anticipation of the overland mails, which left Bombay on the 11th. ult. They were sent on that day in the small colo nial staemer Seaforth to Ceylon, instead of being dis patched as previously on the 15th of the month. Much dissatisfaction was felt at Bombay in conse quence of this abrupt instance of irregularity, which was considered to be chiefly attributable to the bad management of the steamers of the Indian navy, not one of which was disposable for the 15th to carry the mails direct to Aden. The departure of the mid monthly mails from Bombay was therefore forestalled by four days, and many persons in the interior must have been disappointed in sending letters to Europe. The news thus received is of considerable interest Now ready, at all the Libraries, -HARDEN HALL ; or, the Three Proposals. Edited by the lion. F— B--. 3 vols. post Svo. Price IL 11s. 6d. bds.

The Bri tish authorities, being aware of its existence, resolved to crush it in the bud, and at nine o'clock in the evening of the 20th of August, Ranee Chunda, the Queen-Mother of Dhuleep Singh, the young Maha raja of Lahore, was taken from the Palace and con veyed under an escort to Shaikhoopra, a fort about twenty miles distant, in which former intriguing Princesses were confined. The intrigues, in a poli tical sense, as well as otherwise, of Ranee Chunda have been notorious. One of the last was her causing her son the Maharaja to insult publicly Tej Singh, the Prime Minister, by refusing to give him the royal mark on the forehead (called the tiluk) at the time of his installation as Raja. This intriguess was at the head of all the disaffected in Lahore, and her re moval from power will have the effect of neutral izing many of their schemes—at least for a time. The Prime Minister, Tej Singh, is a decided friend of the British, and therefore the object of much hatred to the ex-Queen and her partisans. The British officers are on the alert. The troops at La hore being highly paid, are to be changed annually, in order to give equal benefit to the various regiments in the north-west of India. The most dangerous period of the year at Lahore is the Dussera, which takes place in Octobor ; but the utmost vigilance is observed by Sir John Littler and all the troops under his command. Tranquillity continued to prevail on the banks of the Indus, although some symptoms were exhibited of a willingness amongst the Beloochees of the hills to resume their old practice of plundering the plains. Nothing was known in Bombay of the intentions of Sir Charles Napier. Much speculation was afloat in consequence of a report received from England that he was to be named Commander-in-Chief of the army in India on the retirement of Lord Gough. He has declined a public testimonial, which some of the officers in Sinde wished to present to his lady, as being contrary to the spirit of the military regulations. HARRY VERNEY, Chairman.

TT UNT'S APERIENT FAMILY PILLS ; a most excellent Medicine for Bilious Complaints, Disorders of the Stomach and Bowels, Habitual Costiveness, Indigestion, Heartburn, Pains and Giddiness of the Head, Influenza, Worms, Spasms, Nervous and Dropsical Complaints. For upwards of FORTY-FIVE YEARS have these Pills obtained the unqualified approbation of the public in general, among whom may be included families of distinction and medic tl men. Their com position is so truly excellent, and their beneficial effects have been so widely experienced, that the proprietors feel the greatest confidence in recommending them as one of the MILDEST and MOST EFFI CIENT APERIENT FAMILY MEDICINES ever offered to the public. These Pills require no confinement nor alteration of diet, and are adapted to every variety of age and constitution. They sel. dom operate until eight or ten hours after taken, and then gently. They restore the tone of the stomach, strengthen the digestive organs, cleanse the bowels of all impurities, and promote the due secretion of the liver and of the kidneys, and by invigorating the system gene rally, become an invaluable restorative of health to both sexes. OFFICERS of the ARMY and NAVY will find these Pills an in valuable appendage to their medicine chests, as they retain their me dicinal virtues in all climates. Penna.

The advices just received have not had time to influence the market yet, nor does there appear any thing in them calculated to cause any very material change either in demand or price. The lower description of Khaur find ready sale, Exports in the month of Augu., . were, 1,81,789 mds., and from Ist inse i.i.;htin 12,867 mds. Saltpetre—The high prices ruling in the Lon don market for this article have induced a little more inquiry here, the demand, however, is far from gene ral, most parties being deterred by high freights, and the news from home is not of a nature to give more increased confidence, advising as they do large arrivals of nitrate of soda, which must decrease con sumption, so that there is little prospect of shipments from this country being large until a decided decline in freights is established. The French have been purc h as i ng freely, and former prices are well m a i n t a i ne d . A large amount of b us i ness has been done in this staple during the m on th, w i thout, h ow ever, any alteration in price, th e s t oc k s on han d being heavy, and holders ready sell ers a t current rates .

The Bank which was struggling into existence, has been arrested in its progress. The Treasurer of the State refused to accept the orders drawn by it on his office.

Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions, in order that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and Us true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could it be traced t• physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused, the prolific source of mischief, and of greater or less injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on the nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, than any other to which it is subject. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of mere importance than the preservation of the health, and of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear 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 posse-sien of the requisite legal qualifications that he 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 experienee, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

The chief item of intelligence from Bombay re lates to the discussion respecting the memorials sent to the Court of Directors from the young officers of the Indian navy. The conduct of Sir Robert Oliver, who has long held the office of superintendent, was much canvassed. The rains, which set in with such fury in the be ginning of the monsoon, had become slack for several weeks in July and August; but in the beginning of September they recommenced, and a very favourable season would, it was hoped, ensue throughout India. Our intelligence from Hong-Kong is to the 25th of August. The Peninsular and Oriental steamer Pekin had arrived on the 16th, with dates from Lon don to the 24th of June. The news of the Canton expedition in April having then just been received and published in London, speculation was rife upon the future, and the next coming mail was looked to with great interest, as likely to develop the views of Government. All remained quiet at Canton, but there was an uneasy feeling still existing. The export of tea from the Ist of July amounted to 7,371,0001 b., being 4,000,0001 b. in excess com pared with the same period last year, in consequence, it was said, of the early arrival of the new teas. Some of the new silk had arrived at Canton, and as high as 445 dollars had been paid for Tsatlee. Little was ex pected to come down this season. SPENCER'S CHINESE LIQUID HAIR DYE.

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 bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness end social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour end justice demand 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.

Sugar—ln consequence of a demand for the Bom bay and the Sydney markets, prices are a shade higher than our last quotation. Tea Congou—After the excitement of last month our market has been comparatively quiet. Prices, though a shade lower, are still too high to in duce speculation. About 30 chops of new tea have found buyers at 24 to 28i taels for Monings, and 221 for Mohows, but the greater part have been settled for in barter against cotton and cotton cloths.

Messrs. and Co., of St. Martin's-lane, have recently obtained a patent for an improved lamp-glass. The improvement is exceedingly simple, as it consists in merely colouring the glass blue, and it may be modulated from the faintest tint to the deepest colour, whilst in a liquid state. For years blue spectacles have been used by persons with weak vision, and occulists strongly recommend the use of them to persons so afflicted. The effect of this colouring destroys the red or yellow glare of light, but particu larly of artificial light, which is exceedingly injurious to the eyes if they are exposed to its influence for any length of time. These glasses, which we understand are used in the Bank of England, produce a beaut if ul blue tint, a 3 nearly approximating to day light as ea well be conceived, so much Sc) that the_ various and , can be perceived.unrnistak e r e g f l o a r s e s , e glasses, on d o e n lig a h c t c fu o ci d s o ' es not irritate the sight delicate hues of si T lk h s e , r h i g ba h n t ordinaryent , th to of ex th er e cis c e o t lo h u ei r r , illu minating offices.

INFLUX OF IRISH POOR INTO THE METROPOLIS. — Yesterday and Monday large bodies of Mil peasants, lately employed in Rent and Sussex hop-picking, and in different parts of the country getting in the harvest, con tinued to pour into the metropolis, in expectation of getting some of the bounty that they had heard was gathered on Sunday last for their especial relief. The workhouses in the eastern parts of the metropolis have been regularly besieged, and large troops have taken up their positions nightly in front of St. Martin's and Mary lebone workhouses, the casual wards being unable to contain them all. They are invariably accompanied by women and a formidable array of children, who com pletely put the parochial authorities to their wit's-end. Their object seems to be to obtain a free passage back to Ireland. At the Mendicity Society, Red Lion-square, he applications arc more than ordinarily numerous. PROPOSED LUNATIC ASYLUM FOR MIDDLESEX.

In securing to their house the entire and exclusive importation of the costly material from which the SYRIAN CLOTH is formed, they are enabled to preserve it in its unmixed character ; and to impart its beauty to the garment formed from it, which is of too select a species to be approached by any other extant, or to be devised.-379, OXFORD-STREET.

Oil Seeds—The demand for the American market for linseed having ceased, there has been nothing doing, and the accounts from England not being suffi ciently encouraging to induce parties to pay the high rates of freight now ruling. Mustard seed has also been neglected. Jute— The inquiry for this article has been steady, and parcels as they come to hand find ready sale at full prices, and on the finer sorts an improvement is perceptible. The rates now current are for low to fair, 10r. to 10r. Ba. per bale; and good to fair, 11r. to 12r. Hides—Throughout the past months the demand for the English market has been languid, and shippers were only induced to operate by holders submitting to a reduction on previous rates; this in many in stances they were obliged to do, in consequence of agents here having declined advancing on goods shipped on native account. For America there has been a good deal doing both in cow and buffalo; the French have also been buyers to a large extont. Cotton—The local transactions in this article have been small, the shipments which have gone forward being generally on account of the importers. Exports in August to Singapore and China were 2,348 bales, or 8,541 maunds. Opium—Late advices from China give a more fa vourable account of this drug, and the market here, which was very dull, has revived, and a considerable advance been established. Patna is now worth 1,220, and Benares 1,205 per chest. Stock in the Company's Godowns of the former is 1,130 chests, and of the latter 384 chests. IMPORTS FROM EUROPE. British Cotton Piece Goods—For the principal de scription of goods under this head there has been a brisk demand during the month. In grey shirtings the qualities selling at 4r. 10a. to 4r. 12a. continue most in favour, but within the last few days there has been more inquiry for the heavier descriptions ranging from sr. to 6r., and the prices now offering are a little in advance of those procurable some time back, the reported sales of the month are 70,000 pieces, showing a considerable increase on the same period last year. White have been selling more freely, as is usual at this season of the year, when the demand for bleached fabrics is generally brisk. Gray Jaconets have not been in so good demand as last month, the reported sales only amounting to about 30,000 pieces against in the month of July upwards of double that quantity ; prices,l however, have not undergone any material alteration. Bleached have been in better demand, the reported sales of the month amounting to upwards of 40,000 pieces at firm prices. Grey Madapollams—ln these cloths the business done has not been so lon• 1 - 5 dOu against 21,000. put sale, wily snowing . a ou , • white P participated in the inquiry for bleached goods, and the reported sales are comparatively large, being 13,000 against 500 last month, the prices obtained, however, are very unsatisfactory for shippers. All fancy light Poojah holiday Manchester fabrics are only saleable at losing s approach__there is a prices. Scotch goods of all descriptions are very dull, in fact, have been nearly unsaleable for some time past. There has been a pretty fair inquiry for the lower descriptions of woollens, which have been pur chased to some extent for Rangoon, but prices are still very low. We have to correct a typographical error in our last in the table of "comparative statements of im ports and reported sales" under the head of "sales of grey shirtings for twelve months, ending 31st of July, 1847," read 13,90,765, instead of 23,90,765. BOMBAY. (From the Bombay Times.) FRIDAY AFTERNOON, FIVE O'CLOCK, SEPT. 10. The occurrence of a few native holidays having interfered with the course of business during the short period that has elapsed since our last dispatch, dated the 30th ult., our report by the present mail is con sequently meagre, and presents but a limited record of transactions. The import market has undergone little or no change ; but we are happy to be enabled to state that the weather continues highly favourable for the crops, rain having fallen in some quantity at the Presidency since our last advices, and there is every appearance of its having been pretty general. Cotton Manufactures.—These fabrics are in much the same position as last noticed. Rather more disposition has been evinced by importers to rea lise, but in prices there is no change except for the qualities of bleached shirting, and the better kinds of gray jacconet, both of which descriptions have been in request, and are a few annas per piece higher in value. Gray madapollam has also enjoyed a good demand, which has been freely met by importers, and the sales of this cl o th are l arge —forming, indeed, the chief operations since last mail, but at no improvement in prices. Gray shirt ing of all kinds has become again dull, and domestics are still but in limited demand. In Scotch goods the transactions have been very unimportant. The inquiry noticed in our last for dyed goods and prints, in Turkey red, continues, but the low prices offered are an impediment to transactions, the only sale that we have heard of being 500 pieces Turkey red prints, 23 inches 28 yards, at 10 rupees per piece. The orders in the bazaar from the country are appa rently trifling as yet, and as the local dealers have laid in some stocks of cotton goods, they are not at present very anxious to augment them. Cotton Yarn—lmporters in general are looking for an advance in prices, and refuse to sell at present rates, so that the business done in the last eleven days is very:contracted, sales being limited to a few trifling parcels, say 135 bales in all of " Mule," Nos. 20, 50, and 60, at annas 6i, 91, and annas 9i per lb. respectively. Orange twist is still in request at our quotations. Turkey red continues very dull of sale, and we are informed only of the disposal of 16 bales of 2001 b. each, of good quality, at ir. 9a. per lb. Woollens—There is some inquiry, but at offers too low to admit of sales. Metals—British bar iron continues in request, and a further advance could be obtained, but holders are indisposed to sell. The stock in first and second hands is now reduced to about 10,000 candies, and for a good assortment 40rs. per candy would no doubt be given. Swedish does not participate in the ad vance, and is dull of sale. Other descriptions of iron are without change, and no transactions in any of them have transpired. In copper, nothing, that we are aware of, has been done, and prices are stationary, notwithstanding that the supplies here and on the way out are very moderate. In lead, spelter, or tin plates, we have not heard of any transactions, and they continue as before reported ; the last-named article is very scarce. Swedish steel in tubs has been sold to the extent of 1,000 cwt., at 91 rupees per cwt. Cochineal—The market has become dull for this article, and in the absence of transactions our quota tions must be considered nominal. Saffron—Some sales of this article have been re ported to us, say 48 pounds at 12 rupees per pound, and 400 pounds at 10 rupees and 14 rupees per pound. We judge from these prices that the quality must have been inferior, though some of it is said to have been good. Beer—A further limited supply of Allsopp and Bass is in the market. Sales of both these brands have been effected to the extent of 100 hhds., in about equal quantities of each, at 75 rupees per hhd.. and a few hhds. at 80 rupees. Of Hodgson a few casks are said to have been sold at 65 rupees per hhd. ; and of Tennent's, 50 hhds. at 54 rupees per hhd., these brands having benefited b y the scarcity of the two more Avowed ones. TONNAGE. The rate of freight to Great Britain continued up to the arrival of the Overland Mail on the 4th instant nominally as last quoted ; it afterwards fell to 51. 15s. per ton to London, and 6/. to Liverpool, at which engagements were entered into. A firmer tone has, however, now been given to the freight market by the destination of several vessels to load at Tuticorin and Colombo for China; the vessels from the latter port (Colombo) are to take on troops. To-day 6/. 10s. is the rate asked for Liverpool, 6/. ss. having been re fused ; but there is no alteration in the rate for London. To China engagements have been made at 6 rupees to 7 rupees per candy. EXCHANGE. The rate upon London has declined considerably since our last, consequent upon the market having been cleared by the local joint-stock banks soon after the last mail's dispatch of which almost all the bills that were offering, which has materially interfered with remitters, Bank bills not being now to be had at a better rate than Is. 11d., and other local ones at ls. 110., six months' sight; these are the rates of the day. On Calcutta, the rate is 99i rupees for 100 rupees, 60 days' sight ; and on China, at 208 rupees to 210 per 100 dollars, 60 days' sight. Money continues plentiful in the bazaar, and the rates of discount are as last quoted. To To To To FREIGHTS. London, per ton, 51. 15s. Liverpool, per ton, 61. 55. to 61. 10s.

Though the principal features that have been noticed lately as affecting our import trade still continue in a measure to exercise their influence, we are en couraged to think that such are becoming daily less ; and the more so, as the accommodations are more readily attainable. We must, however, remark that the whole course of present business is purely confined to meet the actual demand, and that no spirit of speculation has yet manifested itself. Cotton—The transactions during the past month are reported at 12,000 bales, the greatest part for actual consumption. The stocks in Chinese hands are very light, and the accounts from the interior more favourable. This induces us to believe that the demand next month will be on a more extensive scale. Bombay—Sales have been made to the extent of 9,000 bales, showing a rise of 2 or 3 mace on common and middling, and about 2 mace advance on the finer kinds. Our quotations are for common and middling 5.6 to 7.1, D.P. Good to fine, 7.6 to 8. Madras—The sales reported are 1,200 bales, show ing a slight advance. Holders are firm. Good to fine, 7.8 to 8.4, D.P. Cotton Yarn—Sales have been effected to the ex tent of 900 bales, showing a decline of 2 to 2i on last prices. The stock is large, and with expected arrivals we anticipate a still further reduction ; the more so, as Chinese holders are quitting and forcing the market. We quote Nos. 16 to 24, 25.2 to 26, D.P. ; Nos. 28 to 32, 27 to 30, D.P. Nos. 38 to 42, 31 to 32, D.P. Imported, 550 bales. Delivered, 316 bales. Stock, 4,310 bales. Same period last year, 2,250 bales. American Yarn has declined 3 dolls. since our last advices, say for sales reported; quoted Nos. 16 to 26, 24 to 24k, D.P. Long Cloths—Sales to the extent of 75,000 pieces grey and 16,000 pieces white have been made, prin cipally in barter for teas. We quote—Grey, 56 to 68's, 2.15 to 2.60; white, 2.35 to 2.80, D.P. ; grey, 72's, 2.70 to 2.80 ; white, 2.95 to 3.10, D.P. American Domestics, 40 yds. 36 in.—ln conse quence of a small stock prices have advanced, and a sale of 3,000 pieces is quoted at 2 dolls. 80c. to 2 dolls. 90c., D.P. Twills, to the extent of 1,600 pieces, have been quitted for 30 yds. 30 in. at 2 dolls. 40c. to 2 dolls. 42c., D.P., showing a decline of 6 cents ; and 5,000 to 6,000 pieces, 40 yds. 30 in., at 3 dolls. 30c. to 3 dolls. 35c., D.P., at a decline of 5 cents, which may be attributed to recent large imports ; and prices are likely still further to recede as further arrivals are looked for. Woollens—Sp. stripes.—Prices have not varied, the sales are estimated at 3,000 pieces, chiefly in barter for teas, at 1 doll. to 1 doll. 25c., D.P. Stocks are moderate. Our quotations for B. B. and Co.'s and Gott's marks are as under : B. B. and Co.—Scarlet, 1 doll. 32c.; purple, 1.30 ; dark blue, 1.14 ; black, I.—; brown, —.90 ; gentian, 1.05 ; light blue, —.79 ; yellow, —.65 ; ash, —.65 ; green, 1.17, D.P.

The sales are reported 7,500 pieces, assorted colours, at 8.10 to 8.50 ; 2,500 scarlet at 10 to 101. Stocks are moderate. Habit Cloths—No change to notice, quoted at 1.40 to 60, D.P. Medium Cloths also remain without alteration, and quoted at 2.20 to 2.40, D.P. Camlets—Sales are reported to the extent of 001 pieces English, at 17.214, D.P. In Dutch no trans actions. Stocks of both small, particularly the latter. The Dutch are falling off in consumption, as the manufacture is not thought so highly of by the Chinese, being too fine, and wanting in weight and a glossy exterior ; they are quoted at 20 dolls. to 26 dolls., D.P.
