THE RECENT. ECLIPSE. Pray what did you think of the recent eclipse, The subject, it seems, is on overy one's lips ; I presume like myself, that you could'nt see much, On account of the gloom of the day being such. But didn't your thoughts irresistibly run, On the bright shining fame of B. MOSES and SON ? I frankly confess that my bus} thoughts strayed, To MOSES and SON. who eclipse all the trade. Yes, I thought of the manner this Dress-mart equips, A manner so likely to cause an eclipse. Messrs. MOSES, I thought, in the tailoring trade Had cast competition completely in shade ; And in proof of these sweeping assertions I'd show, The salt I obtained at their famous depot : If you look at the waistcoat, you're forced to admire, The taste of E. MOSES and SON in attire; And the neatly cut trousers and elegant coat, Do credit to MOSES and add to their note. And hence I repeat, as I've heretofore done, That none can eclipse Messrs. MOSES and SON. ♦ ReW 'Work. entitled" THE DRESSING-BOOM COMPANION,' containing a detailed List of Prices, with full Directions for Self ealurement, may be had en application, or forwarded post-free.

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 its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could it be traced to 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 ,he 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 more 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 sion 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.

A price was last year set on his head, and ho was arrested in the Bukowin, when demanding horses eta posting-house. (From the Times.) We received this morning, at three o'clock, by ex press from Marseilles, our dispatches in anticipation 01 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 and importance. It was stated in our last dispatch that a conspiracy was known to be concocting in Lahore. 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. From Affghanistan and Peshawur there is no re markable intelligence. The Governor-General was stated to be about to proceed to Oude, in order to enter into arrangements with the King, who is described as willing to cede the sovereignty to the Hon. Company and to retire, upon his being insured a pension commensurate with his rank. In the Rajpoot States, Doongur Singh is yet at large, and fears are entertained of the continuance of -- his ravages when the fair season sets in. his brother was lately captured, and his arrest has had the effect of rendering the chief bandit somewhat cautious in hk_movements. cable confusion as before. The tunic Wilt,. sus., 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. Assign ments on the revenue of the districts were next pro posed, but the Minister would not consent, stating the disinclination of the British Resident to sanction such a circulation as the Exchequer-bills of the Nizam. The embarrassments of the Government for money were still as great as ever, and the usual results of in- subordination amongst the troops and disaffection and confusion amongst the employ& are seen throughout ;hat country. The chief item of intelligence from Bombay re ates 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 is 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. Exchange on England was 4s. 3d. to 4s. 4d. Freights to London, 51. Company's accepted bills on Calcutta, 213 per cent. From Shanghae we have dates to the 10th of Aug• Teas were slow in arriving from the interior. In silk there had been considerable business doing. A good demand for longeloths continued. The Belhaven was to sail on the following day for England with about 1,000 bales. The Achilles had arrived at Woosung from Hong-Kong, and the Litherland from Liver pool. The ships in port were—Francis Burn, John Christian, J Garnett, and Sarah Trootman. They were loading very slowly. Freights to London, 6/. 10s. The following is a list of the names of the passengers who arrived by the Semiramis on the 4th of September : From Suez—Mesdames Barr, Lodwick, Duff and Geddes ; Misses Collier, Kays, and Ferguson ; Major- General D.

The improvement in the. general appearance of business which was manifesting itself at the departure of the last mail has continued, an active demand having been experienced for all articles of export from this country. Sugar, which was in little inquiry for some days previ ous , came more into favour on a slight decline in freights taking place, and the transactions have been on an extensive scale. Rice bas 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 met a l s generally there hat b een a l so more doing, still th e d emand is not b y any means so brisk as mi g ht b e l ooked for at this season of the year. The i ncreas i ng easiness in the money market, which was manifesting itself, has .continued steadily to improve, and althougV the' batiks have not reduced furth er their rates` of discOunt, ac commodation on good securities is pricurable in the bazaar on more mod era t e terms, G t i vern ment secu rities have ad vance d i n value, and are onlykept at their present figu re b y t h e f i ve per cent. loan remain ing open. I n B an k s h ares there has not been much disposition s h own t o operate. The-North- W estern Bank of India an d A gra and United have each decl are d a di v id end at the Service Bank rate., of ,12 per cent. per annum on paid-up capital. The Haddington steamer, with Loden 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 rtot 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 change how- Our exchange on Englandhas varied very littl e sinceever w the hoi d h has epartur t e ak of en o thel a as ee t mail,has been in f avour o f drawers. The increasing demand for tonnage for presentidea sugar and rice having continued, freights have been well supported and the tendency is now upwards. Ill se a a y son, nearly formed digo—of theA pretty accurate now be 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 of the expected ; some, however, have not been so fortunate, and on the whole not more than an average season can be looked for. Tirhoot has experienced cons t ant rains, c ou pl e d w ith w hi c h 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 usele ss , consequen tly a consid e rable d ecrease must be looked f o r fr o m 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 Alirzapore 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. Export for the season up to date are :-- To Great Britain ... ... 21,315 ..• 81,215 14 0 France .„ 6,011 ..• 22,105 27 2 North America ... 1,066 ..• 3,658 5 0 Foreign Europe ... 10 ... 35 36 If ItcdSea,Bombay,&gulphs 1,199 ..• 4,150 11 I4i Total ••• 29,601 111,165 14 33. Sugar—The improvement noticed in the demand for this staple has continued, confined chiefly how ever to the finer descriptions of Benares, which have found ready sale at a trifling advance of previous prices. 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, and from Ist inst. up _ _ _ 2,867 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 det erre d b y 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 ther e is little prospect of shipments from this country being large until a decided decline in freights is established. The French have been purchasing freely, and former prices are well maintained. A large amount of b us i ness has been d one in this staple during the month, without, however, any alteration in price, th e s t oc k s on hand being heavy, and holders ready se ll ers at current rates. L a t e ad vices from the M aur iti us mention that a cons id era bl e advance had t a k en pl ace i n that market, the qua liti es suitable for whi c h h ave consequently advance d h ere about one anna per maund.

The shipments that are nova. on for a decline in going forward consist of previous purchases hel d freights. Exports in August were 1,404 maunds to Great Britain.

Beer—Only a few hogsheads of Bass's have been placed during the month at 70r • p er hhd . ; in Allsopp's there have been no wholesa le trans actions. Other brands are without inquiry. ExcumaGE.—lmmediately after the departure of the last mail some sellers came forward, and a better rate was obtained for remitters, say ls. 111 d. to ls. 11 id. fur 10 months' date bills; b su sequently, however, drawers became more firm, and the rate gradually declined to Is. 111 d. to Is. 1111, which may be considered the closing rate for first-rate 10 months' date paper, and ls. 11d. to Is. 110. for six months' sight.

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, llr 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 sm9ll, 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 4 and Benares 1,205 per chest. Stock in the Company's Godowns of th• 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 con s id era bl e i ncrease 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,; 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, rmaices. Grey Mad:lmila , r done has not been so large e :tr . it Alas last month th e b r proacn lune Jo ..pt i onamiks , kh ( T; ll .L i a ,,vveinrif In the demand ; white 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 Manchester fabrics are only saleable at losing pr.ces. ; 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 ganufacfures— s -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 cloth are large —forming, indeed, the chief operations since last mail, but at no improv e m en t i n pr i ces . G ray 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, a t Of Ht3d7srupees per hhd.. and a few hhds. at 80 rupees. rupees s n a few casks are said to have be en so ld at 65 perrueeer hhd. ; and p of Tennent's, 50 hhds. a t 5 4 rupeeshhd., these brands having benefited by the scarcity of the two 4 more favoured ones. Opium—The market appears to be cleared of first quality, and the shipments now going forward are chiefly of inferior, and upon importers' account, buyers being afraid to touch it. Until the new drug arrives, towards the close of November next, we can not expect to see any renewal of activity in the article. 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 51.155. 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 61. 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 i Is. 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. FREIGHTS. To London, per ton, 51. 15s. To Liverpool, per ton, 61. ss. to 61. 10s.

CANTON MARKET REPORT, AUG. 2L 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 21 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.

Camlets—Sales are reported to the extent of eOl pieces English, at 17.24, D.P. In Dutch no trans actions. Stocks of both small, particularly the latter.

Of new 550 bales have arrived, which were quitted immediately; the quality does not appear to be so good as last season's. Little more is expected, and ►t is reported that we shall have not more than 800 bales in all to this market, though 2,000 bales were at one time said to be coming in. The rates paid have been, for 400 bales, 420 to 425 dollars, S. 0. No. 1, and 10 to 15 dollars less for No. 2 ; 160 bales, 445 dollars, S. 0. No. 1, and 10 to 15 dollars less for No. 2.

There is only No. 3 left in the market, considerable shipments have lately gone forward to Bombay. The fourth crop will be down shortly. 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 28f taels for Monings, and 22f for Mohows, but the greater part have been settled for in barter against cotton and cotton cloths. There are yet about 30 chops of old tea in the market, which the teamen hold for 12 to 14 taels, as well as some old Souchongs, for which 18 to 21 taels are asked. Sales of some low have been made at 11 to 19 taels. New Souchongs—Musters of 8 or 10 chops have arrived, comprising the finest marks, but the quality, with one or two exceptions, is inf e ri o r. W e h ave not at present heard of a n y offers. Flowery Pekoes—One small chop has come to market, the quality of which is fine. A few hundred chests of old have been taken at 17 to 19 taels.

M'Neill 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, a n d 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, piroducea beautiful wellblue tint, as n a n s c n e e i a v r e l d, nearly approximating so that to day the e lightvarious n a s a a can d n delicate hues of silks, rib ands, &c., can be unmistak ingly perceived.

INFLUX OF IRISH POOR INTO THE METROPOLIS. —Yesterday and Monday large bodies of l i ri ic h ing pea a s n a d nt i s n , lately employed in Kent and Sussex hop-pc 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 t o their wits -end. Their object seems to be to ob tain a free p a ssageback at i s inc o t wpi e h he applications are more tha n ordinarily numerous. FOR to Ireland.
