MONEY MARKET AND C,O 111 IVIERCIAL INTELLIGENCTI I I Shr. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. Accounts from Liverpool state that the Cotton Market yesterday closed firmly, and pi ices of all de scriptions were fully supported. The sales were estimated at, 8,000 bales, 1,500 of which were taken by the speculators, and 500 by the exporters. The Railvmy Share Market closed with a dull appear arm", and at a decline on previous rates. There was an important meeting yesterday of the creditors of the firm of Messrs. Carr Brothers, extensive colliery miners, who recently failed. The balance-sheet gave the claims at 678,6071., and the assets 716,6401., showing a surplus of about 38,0001. If time is allowed, the estate will be liquidated satisfactorily to all parties ; and it liras therefore resolved to appoint inspectors - who will superintend the winding up of th e affairs of the house. The Committee thus nominated consisted of Mr. Bigg, the ma nager of the Northumberland District Banking Company, Mr. Anderson, manager of the New 'castle Branch of the Bank of England, and Mr. S. G. Smith of Lombard-street. The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon were very steady, and the tendency was rather favour abJ e than otherwise. Subjoined is the list of the specie on board the Volombo, which leaves to-morrow for India and China : Bombay (silver) Do. (gold) 450 0 0 Ceylon (gold) Madras (silver) 35,600 18 0 MrAdras (;old) Calcutta (silver) Penang (silver) Singapore (silver) 110,670 0 0 Do. (gold) Hong llog (silver) 222,992 7 11 Shanghai (silver) Total £1.095,014 13 10 This is the largest remittance dispatched by one vessel for some time past, and the numerous pur chases that must have been made on the Continent fully account for the recent drain of gold from this Country. A return has just been published by the Bank of England of light gold coin withdrawn year by year from circulation, from May, 1842, to Dec., 1856, together with its value at 31. 17s. 101 d. per ounce. The total number of ounces withdrawn during that period is 5,274,500'510, the greatest quantity occurring in the first three years, when the respective amounts were 2,067,106.542, 6 57,436.646, and 851,138 . 979. The total value during the whole period is 20,537,5861. 7s. 2d. The demand for money in Lombard-street is maintained ; but the necessary arrangements for the remittances of specie by the Colombo being completed, some relief is now anticipated. First class houses can still obtain accommodation at or 5i per cent., owing to the large supply of capital ; but the prospects of the money market are rendered rather less satisfactory through the posi tion of the Bank of France, and the probability of its administration renewing their purchases of gold. The Great Britain and the Indomitable from Aus tralia are anxiously awaited, as they will bring a large quantity of specie, and have now been more than the average period on their voyage home. The market for public securities is steady but business is very dull and the purchases for invest ment are limited. On the whole the quotations are tolerably well supported, but there is an absenoe of buoyancy notwithstanding the easier terms on which money can be ob tained on the Stock Exchange. Consols have been 911 for money, and 911 for the ac count, which are the current quotations. The New 3 per Cents. are about 911 92 ; and the Reduced, 91k 1. Exchequer Bills are 3s. dis. The Bonds 98k, and India Bonds, 225. to 17s. dis. Foreign Stocks are very dull, and not more than half-a-dozen bargains have been recorded. Turkish 6 per Cents, are 95, and the 4 per Cents. 99k. Russian 5 per Cents. were 1121 and Mexican Stock IS fiat at 221. Belgium 41 per Cents. are 974, and Dutch 2i per Cents., 64g. The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 51 61 ; Mexican 3 per Cents, 221 A ; Peruvian 41 per Cents. 81 83 ; ditto 3 per Cents., ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 4 4i 454 ; tiussian 5 per Cants., 112 114 ; ditto 4-i per Cents., 97 99 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 391 40i ; do. new Deferred, 25 251 ; do. Certificates, 5i 6 ; do. Passive, 5i 6. The dealings in the Railway Share Market have been very limited. One or two of the leading lines have, however, shown a slight improvement. North-Eastern, Leeds and North Stafford, advanced 613 ., North-Western and Great Western 10s., and Caledonian 1/. South Wales declined 55., and South Western 10s. In the Foreign and Colonial Markets scarcely any business was reported. Great Luxem bourg receded about 55., and East Indian ss. Cl-reat Western of Canada improved 55., and Grand Trunk of Canada declined 10s. Money shares wore very quiet. Great Wheal Vor receded to 3i. Alfred Consols are at 16k, and United Mexican at Cobre Copper have improved to 44. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are very inactive. Ottoman Bank declined about ss. City Bank improved ss. Crystal Palace shares are Steady, and South Australian Land receded to 321. IBRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. ( Trom the Oili eta/ List Businers Jere. 3 per Cent.

The weight of gold coin withdrawn last year was 107,609•423,)z., and the value thereof 419,1211. In 1842, 1843, and 1844 the value of the coin withdrawn was, respectively, 8, 048, 7961., 2,559 893/. and 3,314,122/. Since then it has 'varied from 379,5631. to 718,075/ DISTURBANCE IN THE BAY ISLANDS.—The Jamaica Morning Journal of July 25th says :—" By H. M. steamer Perseverance, which arrived here yesterday, with a detachmeat of the 2d West India Regiment on their way to Demerara, intelligence has been received that great disatisfaction existed at Ruatan. A short time before the sailing of the steamer things had reached such a pass that the populace broke into the prison and liberated all who were confined there. Dis patches, we were further informed, were forwarded to hie Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor, asking for a detachment of troops, and a man-of-war, to protect the eaceable portion of the inhabitants." 40 all Although the Bank of France have renewed the arti. 25 18 ficial purchases of bullion on a scale which shows that 100 so the reduction in their rate of discount in June last was 40 all altogether premature, there seems no reason to appre- 50 all hand that on this side the supply for the prssent will so 20 8 far fall short as to cause withdrawals from the Bank of 00 50 England. I n a ddi t i on to the 183 000/ announ ced yes- 100 25 terday from Ne w Y or k, some amountrom Australia the 20 all * may also be ex- 100 20 pected this week by th e Ariel. F total actually overdue is 580,0001., and if the whole of 20 all 0001., this were to arrive furth er sums might still be looked 20 all for immediately by any vessels making a moderately 50 2 g 5 quick passage. Meanwhile the dem an d f or silver for 10 the East has become less active, in consequence th o e f itahee 50 t quotations received by the last mail, and of the amount prepared for transmission by the steamer 1 10 0 2 0 00 2 31 0 50 :the 20th having reached 1.250,000/. —the largest ship. 50 22i ment ever yet made. When it is considered that our 20 all total remittances this year to India and China will thus 25 all be raised to about 12,500,0001. against 7.500,000/. in 20 15 the corresponding period of 1856, and that iu the same 100 interval considerable amounts of silver which would 10 all therwise have reached England from the west coast of 25 all Mexico have been constantly diverted thither, there is 25 all room to suppose that an effect may have been produced 2 , which befure the lapse of many months will tend consi- 50 10 2 derably to check the magnitude of these operations.— 100 50 Tina City Article. • 100 50 !O all .6 all LO all !CI all !O all Kl 7 LO 7 20 all 5 all !O all 1.0 all !O all . 8i all FOR: Antwrp & Rotterdam Ardennes Belgian East.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—(This Day.) The SPEAKER took the chair at twelve o'clock. NEW MEMBER. Major EDWARDS took the oaths and his seat for Beverley, in the room of Mr. E. A. Glover, unseated on petition. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendments to the following bills were considered and agreed to :—Eastern Bengal Railway Company, Scinde Railway Company. Baroness Windsor's Estate Bill, and the Duke of Bridgewater's Estate Bill were read a third time and passed. ABOLITION OF INIFRISONMENT FOR DEBT. Mr. HADFIELD asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether the Government in tended to bring in a bi.l next session of Parliament to abolish imprisonment fur aebts contrac'ed without fraud ? Sir G. GREY said the sulject was under considera tion, but he could make no promise. LORD-LIEUTENANCY OF IRELAND. Mr. ROEBUCK gave notice that early next session he should move the abolition of the office of Lord- Lieutenant for Ireland, and the establishment in its stead of the office of Secretary of State for Ireland. HUDSON'S BA:k COMPANY, Mr. ROEBUCK also gave notice that early next ses sion he should call the attention of the house to the relations existing between this country and the Hudson's Bay Company. BISHOP HINDS, LATE BISHOP OF NORWICH. Mr. D. GRIFFITHS gave notice that on Friday next he should ask the first Lord of the Treasury whe ther, now that Bishop Bloomfield's pension had fallen in, he was disposed to grant a pension to Dr. Hinds, late Bishop of Norwich. SALE OF OB3CENE BOOK, &0., PREVENTION BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. Sir E. PERRY, who had charge of the bill, in reply to observations from hon. members, said that he pro posed to adopt the suggestion of the commi.tee that two justices should be entrusted with carrying out the provision of the bill, instead of one 29 provided by the bill. He would also adopt the suggestion that the act of sale should be sworn to in the information before a summons issued ; as well as an appeal to quarter sessions from the decision of the justices. On clause 1, Mr. AYRTON proposed an amendment to insert the words " for gain," to make the exhibition of offen sive prints, &c., an offence against the law. Mr. ROEBUCK supported the amendment, and in doing so read a letter he had received from Lord Brougham, in confirmation of his (Mr. Roebuck's) statement on a former occasion, that there might be found in the body of justices men who would be found to pervert the provision of an act. The letter referred to the petition of four poor men presented in 1841, to the House of Lords, by Lord Lyndhurst, wherein it was stated that they had been fined Queen Elizabeth's shilling by certain justices for non-attendance at church. Tilley were brought be fore the justices on a charge of poaching, but that charge failing, the justices interrogated them relative to their attendance at church, and asked if they attended the parish church on the previous Sunday. Receiving an answer in the negative they pursued their inquiries, and ascertained that the men ba d not attended church for the four previous Sundays , on which the y fined them accordingly. Sir GEORGE GREY assented to the amendment. After some discussion the amendment was agreed to. The bill after some amendments passed through corn ' mitteee. I DIVORCE AND MATRIMONIAL CAUSES BILL. The committee on this bill was resumed for the pur pose of adding some new clauses. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL brought up a clause in lieu of clause 8, providing for the constitution of the court to be established under the bill. The clause was read a second time, discussion on it being postponed till the bringing up of the report. [LEFT SITTING.] THE CONDEMNED CONVICTS AT MAIDSTONE.--On Friday a special warrant was issued to the sheriff of Kent for the execution of the culprits, Fox and Edwards, now lying under sentence of death in Maid stone r d i gaol egly for be the ex e e crime ot there e re murder te . ea 0 ; r raenwd, theth e y instant. THE SOUND DUES —Within the last ten days the whole of the 1,135,0001. due for the redemption of the Sound Dues has been paid to Messrs. Hambro and Son, the London agents of the Danish Government. It is understood that this amount is to bo retained in England to pay off certain portions of the Danish foreign debt, and the circumstance of its being temporarily employed in the money market has been one of the causes of the increased ease lately manifested. SEA RlSlES.—Complaints have lately been made that the steamers trading to and from the northern ports of England and the Baltic are accustomed to take deck loads, to the manifest prejudice of the underwriters and the danger of both passengers and vessel. In many instances this practice is most dangerous, in the event of severe weather taking place during the passage, and it is therefore necessary that both shippers and passengers should be acquainted with the practice and its dangers. TENTILATION BY THE STEAM JET.—A somewhat novel application of the steam jet fur the purpose of ventilating a coal mine has just been made by Mr. F. H. Pearce, of the Bowling Iron works, near Brad ford. The Leeds Mercury gives the following :—" The application is at - present in operation in a pumping shaft, 120 yards iu depth, the ventilation of which had been stopped by the water rising at the bottom of the pit during the time some alterations were being made in the pumps. The water having stopped the air eoarses, the pit, to within a few yards of the top, became full of the gas known to miners as black choke damp, which appears to have been discharged freely from some old workings, and thus it was ren dered an impossibility for the workmen to descend until the removal of the gas bad been effected and a constant current of pure air produced in the pit. Mr. Pearce has succeeded stea in m mtoaiinstsauienini g oto so the perfect t a . ven t i l a tion of the above-mentioned pit, simply by a p l h lo er w e in a g t a a f s e m w falel jet of et from the t op o f t h e p i pes through aosm which the water is forced up when the pumps are at work, and the pit can be worked with perfect safety. The workmen were enabled to descend 30 minutes after the steam had been turned into the pipes. The principle is exceedingly simple. The jet of steam issuing from the top of the pipes produces in them a partial vacuum, which draws the foul air up these pipes, and thence out of the pit with very great velocity. The cost of applying the steam jet in the above manner is very trifling ; and this method of ventilation will doubtless be found a very safeand useful one in many instances, particu larly in sinking deep shafts. In addition to other advan ta;es, wood or any other kind of pipes may be used. It re quires little or no attention, no machiner y to g et out of repair, produces a p owerful current of air, and can be regulated at pleasure. As the steam is discharged into the atmosphere above the top of the pit, it does not in terfere with the men working in the shaft," NEW COURT. HIGHWAY ROBBERY AND ABSAULT.—Three women, named Flanagan, a mother and her two daughters, were indicted for robbery and assault. From the evidence it appeared that the prosecutor, a young woman, was quietly walking along the street, when one of the prisoners, Martha Flanagan, attempted to rob her of a shawl. In a short time after the other women came up and commenced kicking and biting her. Eventually they attempted to tear the whole of her clothing from her back, and to such an extent was the assault carried, that she had to walk home nearly in a state of nudity. The jury found the prisoners guilty ; and a former conviction having appeared against the mother and her daughter Johanna, they were sentenced to 4 years' penal servitude ; and Mary Ann, whose participation in the outrage bad been to a minor exent, was sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CHARGE OF LEAD STEALING.—Thomas Goodhall and John Henry, two men well known to the police, were brought before Mr. Beadon, charged with stealing a quantity of old lead, the property of Ezra Drunning, plumber, No. 2, Spur-street, Leicester-square. Police-constable, 61 C, stated that yesterday afternoon, about a quarter past three, he met the two prisoners in Pulteney-court. Brown had a rack containing some thing heavy on his back, which he took into a marine storeshop in the same court. Witness followed him, and looking through the window raw that the sack contained a quantity of old lead. He at once entered the place, and asked the prisoner where he got the lead from. The prisoner said he did not know. The prisoner Henry was standing in the street, and as soon as he saw him talking to Brown he ran away. Brown was then taken into custody, and in about an hour after Henry was also apprehended. Witness subsequently ascertained that the lead had been stolen from the Queen's Head, in Queen's Head-court, Windmill-street. The prosecutor identified the lead as his property. The prisoners, who denied the charge, were severally committed to the House of Correction for two months for the unlawful possession of the lead. CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT.—WiIIiam Harris was charged with receiving several sums of money, received for and on account of his employer, Mr. J. C. Ruttin ger, cigar manufacturer, Dean-street, Soho. Mr. James Foney Rome, landlord of The Cricketers Tavern, 13, Wellington-street, Camden-town, said that he dealt with Mr. Ruttinger. On the 18th May, 1857, he paid the prisoner 1/. 14s. 6d. on account of the pro secutor. _ Two other charges of 1/. 7s. 61 and 5/. 83. having been proved against the prisoner, The prosecutor stated that the prisoner had been in his service as collector and traveller for some time, at 30s. a-week and 2i per cent. on all sales. He has not accounted for the three sums alluded to. Police-constable Barker, who took the prisoner into custody, said that at the time he did so he had 3/. in his possession. - The prisoner was committed for trial. SOUTHWARK, BURGLARY AND ATTEMPTED MURDER.—Charles Heather, a coal-heaver, was brought before Mr. Burcham for re-examination, charged with being concerned with others not in custody in breaking into the counting-hou-e of Messrs. Cory and Sons, coal merchants, Commercial road, Lambeth, and stealing therefrom seventy pounds in Bank of England notes, and gold, and silver, besides several shares in the Crystal Palace Company. He was also charged with being concerned in attempting to murder Henry Newall, the watchman. The latter per son was so severely illtreated by the thieves that he was unable to attend to give evidence until this day. Henry Newall, the person above described, was put in the witness box, and appeared to be et''l suffering from the injuries he had received. He said that he bad been for many years watchman to the prosecutors, and he had known the prisoner as having worked for them cas ually some time ago. About one o'clock on the morning of the 26th of June, witness was near the water side on the wharf, when some men suddenly came behind him and seized him by the throat, nearly strangling him: another man at the same time put a cloth over his face saturated with chloroform, which rendered him senseless immediately. lie recollected nothing until about four o'clock, when his senses were partially restored. He was then iu great pain, and he thought he was dying. A thick cloth was faitened over his mouth. His arms were tied behind him and bound with ropes to his legs, so that he was unable to move or call out. He laid in that half sensible state until about five o'clock, when one of the labourers came in and rescued him, lie was then conveyed borne and attended to by a medical man, who directed him to go into the county, where he remained until yesterday. Witness was still suffering severely, and he was unable to attend to his business. lie distinctly saw three men about him when he was first attacked, but he believed there were more of them. Mr. Burcham asked him whether he could identify the prisoner as one of the men ? He replied that he could not speak positively to him, as he was so suddenly attacked. William Hasper, fireman to Messrs. Cory and Sens, said he saw the counting-house safe on the night of the 25th June. On the following morning he received in formation that the watchman had been nearly mur dered, and on proceeding to the wharf he found that the counting-house had been entered, and all the desks broken open and ransacked of its contents. The thieves had stolen upwards of 701. in Bank of Eng land notes, gold and silver, besi les several shares in the Crystal Palace Company. Witness knew the pri soner, he having formerly worked as a casual labourer on the wharf. Edward Smith, 66 L, said he saw the prisoner and another man near Messrs. Cory's wharf about two o'clock on the morning of the 26th of June. He said he was waiting for work. Sergeant Romaine, 14 L, said ho received information of the robbery and outrage, and suspicion fell on the prisoner as being connected with it. Ho however absconded from the neighbourhood, and nothing more was seen of him until Monday evening, the 10th inst., when he met him in the New Cut and took hi in into cus tody. Since last examination he had traced one of the stolen notes to a money changer in the Haymarket, who bad cashed it for a strange female the day after the rob bery. Mr. Burcham expressed his surprise that any one should change a bank-note for a stranger. Romaine said that the party called himself a banker, and after the closing of the banks he changed notes on commission. Mr. Burcham observed that it was a singular mode of doing business—changing banknotes for strange's on commission, It gave great facility for getting rid of stolen notes, and he should cause further enquiries into the matter. The prisoner must be remanded until Monday next, and he should grant a summons to com pel the attendance of the Haymarket money changer on that day. THAMES, A. MAN STABBED BY HIS BROTHER.—Charles Dixon, of No. 1, Paradise-cottage, Ratcliffe, c himney sweeper, was brought before Mr. Yardley, Charged with feloni ously cutting and wounding his brother, George Dixon, who is in the London Hospital. John England, police-constable' No. 468 A, state d that the wounded man could not attend, and was very seriously injured. Ho put in a medical certificate from the house-surgeon of the London Hospital describing the wound received, and which was likely to detain the patient in the hospital for some time. The prisoner, a young man, said he knew he bad stabbed his brother through a pieco of a disturbance in a public-house. Mr. Yardley—And now you are sorry for it ? The prisoner-1 am, sir, very sorry. James Douston, potinan at a public-house in Ratcliffe, said that the man in the hospital was the eldest brother. He heard the prisoner and his brother talking and quarrelling. The prisoner called his brother some op probrious name, and the other retorted, and said he would strike him. Some more words arose, and the elder bro ther struck the prisoner three distinct times, and then prisoner took his clasp knife from his pocket and stabbed his brother in the body. The wounded man called out, "He has stabbed me," and fe ood deal of blood.ll, and before he was rem oved to the hospital, lost a g Mr. Yardley remanded the prisoner, and said, as he had received considerable provocation from his brother, provocation, however, not such as to justify the use of a knife,. he would take bail for his appearance, himself in 401., and two sureties of 201. each. TEE MURDER OF MR. LITTLE. —James Spollen has advertised that he will appear in the theatre in Dublin, and deliver a "personal narrative" of his late trial for this murder ; admission one shilling. The fides Journal comments severely upon this impudent and cent proceeding. FIRE IN LAMBETH-WALK.—Last night. about eight o'clock, a fire happened iu the p remises belonging to Mr. William Garnett, a hat and cap manufacturer, carrying on business at No. 41, Lambeth -walk, nearly facing the Fountain Tavern. The fire took place at tlie time the house was ope n for business, and was first dis covered by one of t he inmates. For some time it was feared that several houses would be do•troyed. After the engines strikinga t work some time, the front of the shop fell in, Flynn, the sub-engineer of the Soutwarkbridge-road stan, Mr. White, of the County Fxe-office, and Mr. Hubeit, of Burnett's distil lery.

When we took Delhi in 1803, the outer wall In in a very ruinons state, without any flanking de fences further than s mall round bastions p laced intervals. The ditch wa% imperfect ; there was n glacis, and the ground outside was covered up 1. the very walls with ruins of streets, tombs, an mosques, and was , besides, intersected and out u_ with ravines. Yet even thus, as we have said, small body of our native troops was able, in 1804 to re 7 el all the attacks of JeswantßaoHolkar, wit a victorious army of 70,000 men. The scheme for the improvement of the fortifi9a times was entrusted to Captain George Hutchin son, of the Bengal Engineers, who was succeeder by Captain Robert Smith, of the same corps, an( under these two officers Delhi was placed in al. situation with regard to works in which it now stands. C. apt. Hutchinson determined on establish ing a series of bastions, with faces and flanks as us ua' along the whole of the enceinte, the bastions to be mounted with heavy artillery. He re paired the old walls, and for the purpose of pre venting escalade protected them, especially on the river face, by fraise, or beams, the sharp ends of which were pointed at an acute angle down ward into to the ditch. The ditch was cleared out, repaired, and deepened, especially on the south side, where the wall rested on rock. A glacis was formed to cover in some degree the scarp of the wall ; the ground outside was cleared of houses and ruins, the ravines were filled in, so that the works were rendered proof against wild plundering hordes, or indeed any force whatever unaccompanied by heavy artillery. At the same tieae Captain Hut chinson was strengthening the defences against at tack from without, he made prep arations also against a rise of the inhabitants, w hich at that tune ap peared a probable event. To meet this danger he erected along the line of wall a series of detached Martell° towers, entirely separate from the walls, and accessible from them only by a drawbridge. Each tower was to have a gun mounted on a pivot, so that in the event of a rise in the city, artillery men might take possession of the towers, raise the draw-bridges, and pour shot into the town from the whole circle of the enceinte. The Muhammadan College, or Madrisah, at the Ajmir Gate, was pro tected by an outwork, and the gateways of the city were strengthened by the usual defences in regular fortification. The Kashmir Gate, on the north, from which runs the road to cantonments, was formed into a place of arms, in which was the guard house, &c. It was in the enclosure of this gate that several of the officers were killed in the late mas , acre. We have before stated that Lord Auckland, in 1838, recommended extensive re pairs, and in particular of the Wellesley Bas tion, which was, in fact, entirely reconstructed. It appears that he also suggested the erection of a citadel, though the palace may itself be regarded as one, being surrounded with a ditch, and having walls of great height, built of red sandstone, and pierced for matchlocks. The river face of the palace constitutes the defence of the city on that side. It is a curious fact the custom-house, built by a medical officer on the glacis near the river on the north of the city, was sold to the Government as a treasury—outside the walls ! The engineer officer, Colonel Robert Smith, was unable to get rid of the building. He pointed out the absurdity of its position, and the embarrassment which it caused him in his plan of d efence ; bu although thousands had been spent in removing houses and bazaars, and in clearing the esplanade round the walls, this great building was allowed to remain with all its offices. It was used first as a treasury, and afterwards as a customhouse, and. with its garden and enclosures is doubtless now in the hands of the rebels. We will now turn to the position of the besieged as regards water and supplies. The population of Delhi has been variously computed, but we shall perhaps not bo far wrong in reckoning it at 180,000 ; and the influx of troops and of people from the surrounding villages will probably have compensa ted for the numbers killed in the late co nflicts, and for those who have ca rried off their property to more secure localities. There are considerable supplies of grain kept up by the grain merchants of the city, but little fodder for horses is procurable. For a lengthened siege the supplies within the city would be insufficient, but some might be obtained from the opposite side of the river, or from the villages on the right bank, many of which, espe cially those in the neighbourhood of the Delhi Canal, would be able to pour in vast stores of both corn and fodder. As the Eastern Jumna Canal enters the Jumna opposite Delhi, and as that canal irrigates all the country in its vicinity, the supply of corn, iSerc., from the left bank would be by no means contemptible. We suppose that these supplies have been cut off by the Mee rut force under Brigadier Wilson, whilst those from the right bank have been secured by General Barnard and the main army, which is encamped to the north and north-west of the town, in the can tonment, which is situated about a mile and a half from the Kashmir Gate, and is separated from the country in which the city stands by a low ridge of rock, on which the telegraph tower is bui lt. This ridge i s now in possession of General Barnard. a T m h is e t w ak e e lls to ar s e up c p o o m se pa t t l a re t ri v e el i y s f n ew o w in aterinDe l l t is hi. num ber, but they yield a fair s u pply. Generally speak ing, however, the water is brackish, but in some wells it is excellent. A new well of large dimen sions was made by an enterprising individual in 1848-49. The reason that wells are not so nume rous as they otherwise would be is that the Delhi Canal is regarded as the favourite source of supply. But during severe drought, when every particle of water is required for the irrigation of the crops, Delhi is annually and frequently left without any supply for the canal, and this for twenty or thirty ' days at a time. The inhabitants then have re course to their well and the branch of the Jumna, which flows past their walls. Were the supply from this branch cut off by our troops, water might still be procured by the besieged by digging, or even scratching holes in the sand 'as it lies close to the surface in the low tracts, which are affected by the main river. Moreover, the position of the old fort of Selimgarh, with its bridge connecting it wish the Palace, is favourable as a cover for parties going to get water. There is not the slightest doubt that the -cutting off the canal supply will not prevent the inhabitants from getting water. What ever difficulty, however, there may have been on this he.d, and which must have been equally, or even more severely felt by our own troops, owing to their greater distance from the Jumna, will have been mitigated after the fall cf rain—that is, after the 18th of Juno. It must be !added that flour is ground for the consumption of the citizens by the c inal mills, and these of course are stopped. All the women of Delhi will, therefore, have had to grind away at their hand-mills from morning to night, or flour would run short. Witlr regal d to the capture of Delhi by Escalade, It is probable that a few salvos would bring down a portion of the long line of wall between any of the two towers, and render an escalade tolerably easy. But when the assailants had entered the town, if the narrow streets were well defended by firing from the houses on either side, or by a gun judi ciously placed, so as to rake them down their whole length, the position of a weak colum n of troops would be far from secure. Gel oral Barnard, ou . r opinion, is wise net to hazard a reverse, which isti presen t circumstances, would be most disastrous. He will now daily be receiving reinforcements, and will be enabled to make the attempt ere long with every prospect of success.—Smith, Elder, and Co.'s _Homeward Mail.

THE PORT OF ODESSA.—The Board of Trade has received notice of the new Russian Custom -house regu lations to come into force upon Odessa ceasing to be a free port on the 15th of August of the present year. Tho port now comes within the regulations of the General Customs Tariff of the Empire. 1111 foreign merchandise found at that date in the port which has not paid import duties at the rates of the tariff of the free port will be forced to pay the full rates of the general tariff, cr will be allowed to be re-exported for the space of one year. With regard to foreign merchandise intended for con sumption within the limits of the free port, which may still he in circulation in the commerce of the town ef Odessa, and which, under the general tariff regulations, will be subject to the Custom-house stamp, the merchants of Odessa have the right of presenting the list until the 15th August, to the chief of the Odessa Custom-house district, for the purpose of having it stamped. After that date all merchandise not declared, h w lc may be found in commercial circulation without the protection of Customhouse stamps will be confiscated. The right of warehousing for an unlimited period ceasing at Odessa with its extinctiou as a free port, the right of warehous ing for the period of one year will be instituted on the same terms as at the ports of St. Petersb nr g b, Ri g a, and Archangel. From and after the 15th of August the payment of a fifth Tart of the, produce of the import duties which has been levied upon foreign merchandise for the benefit of the town of (Mesita will cease.
