Mules of No. 20, as also in water of 20 and 30, are readily saleable; other counts continue nearly in the same state as before reported, and those that are packed in 2001 b. bales are readily saleable at our quota tions. A larger amount of business has been done than what we reported in our last for the latter half of the last month. Dyed—A very good demand has sprung up, and from the following list of sales it will be observed that as much as 12 annas per lb. have been obtained for No. 40 in bundles of 711 b. Turkey Red—The inquiry is only confined to best quality. We quote as before lr. and 7a. to lr. and 12a. per lb. The sales of Mule, water and orange, that have come to our knowledge since the second instant, are the following:- 800 bales mule, No. 20, at 61; 30s at 71; 40s at 8 and 8i; 50s at 9i and 91; 60s at 10 annas per lb. 30 bales water 20s at 72 ; 8 bales water 36s at 9i annas per lb.

Metals—English iron continues in demand, but no further improvement has taken place in prices. A sale of 450 candies, of a common assortment, has been reported at 33 rupees. Swedish bars—On the departure of the last mail a sale of 200 candies of unsuitable assortment was effected at 48k rupees, and since two sales of very good assort ment, chiefly consisting of square bars, have been effected, one of 150 candies at 52 rupees, the other of 300 candies at 50 rupees per candy. In other irons, no alteration worthy of notice, excepting in sheets and hoops, on which a decline of one quarter to one-half rupee has taken place. Copper continues in demand. The stock in the first hand is none, and that of the bazaars is very moderate. We therefore expect our present quotations will be maintained for.4cime time to come. pelter-4 kpegairktive inquiry is going - on EtWopean houses, in consequence of its having. cm siderahly in Eiiglland, and therefore l2i l2i rupees are asked by the bazaar dealers, for a small cruatitity they hold of their former purchases.

Cochineal continues scarce, and only a small quantity has been imported, of which 1,5001 b. have been sold at 4 rupees and 12 annas per lb. Saffron—We have heard of no sales. We quote at 8 rupees to 18 per lb. Beer—The celebrated brewers, Allsops, have become in high favour, and we have heard of sales to the extent of 300 hogsheads being made at 75r. per hogshead of the lust October brew, which are expected to arrive here in the month of April next. In Bass we have heard of sales to the extent of 150 hogsheads at 45r. of the old brew. Of last October brew with their brand we have heard of no sales. Spirits—We have beard of the following sales:- 41 hogsheads brandy at 3r. per gallon. 10 do. brown and pale, at 3r. 24a. 45 do. gin, coloured, at lr. Ba. Cotton—Prices on now have advanced a little, owing to the demand for the China market. 90r. have been paid for new Oomrawooty, and 100 and 102 are asked for Broach and Jumbooser ; the former are arriving in large quantities, and the atter will begin to arrive here at the end of the present or beginning of next month. New Dhollerah has also been imported, but as yet in small quantities. Of the old crop there, is a large stock on th e green , and a decline has taken place, and a further decline is anticipated.

Since our last, three vessels have engaged their cargo both for London and Liverpool, at 61. 155., and within the last few days ton nage has become again scarce, and 6Z 17s. 6d. has been paid for the latter port. To China it has receded, owing to many large country vessels being put on the berth, and we have heard of an engagement done at 22r. per candy, which are our quo tations of the day. EXCHANGE. It has risen, and purchases for the mails have been effected at 28. Op. for bills from China, and at 2s. OP. to 2s. OP. for local ones at six months' sight. On Cal cutta thirty days' sight, 99r. 6a. Bank Stock—Shares in the Bank of Bombay, 36 per cent. premium. Do. Oriental Bank, 204 to 21 premium. Do. Commercial 4to 44 premium. MARCR 15, Two o'CLocx. Since morning a great demand has arisen for bills on England, and the rate has fallen to 2s. Ofd. and 2s. OP., at which several transactions have been effected. This demand is attributed to the reduction to Is. 10d., which took place in the bills of the Hon. Company on India, of which a large quantity has come by the mail of Saturday last. The rate for Government bills on Bengal has also re ceded, and is now not higher than 984 . for sixty days' sight. CALCUTTA. (From the Calcutta Overland Paice Current.) March B—The Government express of the mail, via Bombay, came to hand on the 23d ult., and put us in pos session of London dates to January 7 ; as, however, business had only recommenced a day or two previous to the dispatch of the mail, the commercial intelligence was not of much importance, except as confirming that brought by the Bentinck. In this market we have but little change to notice, but if anything there has been rather more doing in produce, and even less in imports, the former being induced by the continuance of their advances by Government at the rate of 2s. per rupee, and the comparative iow prices which the large stocks have compelled holders to accept, and the latter by the continued scarcity of money, the almost entire cessation of purchases throughout the past week in consequence of the Hindoo festival of the Dole Jattra, and also in a great measure by the accounts received of the high prices ruling at home, inducing holders here in most instances to refrain from offering their goods at the rates now obtainable. Our exchange on England has continued to a d vance very gradually, 2s. lid. to 28. lkd. being about th e rates current for good 10 months' date paper, notwithstanding the rumours which have lately been current as to Go vernment being about to raise their rate, if not to close the warehouse altogether; the former has, h owever, now been so long delayed, that it does n o t appear likely that any change will , be made until the e n ti re amount of 8,000,000 Company a rupees advertised for has been London ...

Metals—During the latter part of last month there was a moderate business doing in mi.tals at about the previous currency, but even then the demand was far from brisk, whilst throughout the past week we have scarcely heard of a single sale ; the native holidays of the 2d, 3d, and 4th, combined with the tightness in the money market, having kept dealers out of the market. Holders, however, show no symptoms of submitting to any reduction in their demands, and, in fact, iron is in most instances held for an advance, but for the present prices of all are in a measure nominal.

We have very little change to notice in the position of our money market since the 18th ult., but if anything the tightness then noticed has increased, and as this has been the case in the face of the unusually heavy advances made by Government within the past month, the prospect for the future appears far from encou raging. Government Securities have fluctuated in value very considerably; up to the end of the last month holders were firm at the rate quoted in our last, but have since been giving way, and realising at our quota tions, whilst even these are obtained with difficulty, and e have heard of operations on less favourable terms to the seller. In Bank Stock also but few transactions have transpired, there being at present but little dis position manifested to invest. CURRENT VALUE OF GONERNMENT SECURITIES, BANK STOCK, &C. drawn out, which, however, it most probably will be bu fore our next issue, about 3,000,000 having been taken within the past 20 days, and the total amount advanced here being already between 5,000,000 and 5,500,000, ex • elusive of Madras and Bombay. Previous to the receipt of the mail on the 23d freights had rather a downward tendency, but the brnl demand subsequently experienced for tonnage to Great Britain has again caused a steady advance, 61. 3.55. to 71. 15s. being the rates now current for dead weight. We have but little change to report in the position of our money mark e t, w hi c h continurz tight, with no Im mediate prospect of relaxation, and Government ;e:•tirl ties and Bank Stock have in consequence d« c!ined in value very materially, there being Int little dkpositi , n manifested to invest in them even at the coin' arativ&y low rates now current. Indigo—Since we last h a d thi s pleasure, business has beeninterrupted by a suc( e3sif al of holidays, in cons quence of which only three public sales were held from the 17th to the end of February, and one large one since; at which, however, every chest found purchasers at former rates. The season is now speedily coming to a close, the greater portion of the indigo remaining, being out of the market, having been either sold some time since, or being about to be shipped on planters' account; of the former about 2,00 t) chests purchased at the sales held in the bonded warehouse will most probably go forward in the course of the week; and the portion which remains to be disposed of will also, we think, soon find purchasers, parties being anxious to take advantage of the favourable rate at which they can now get their ad►ances from Go vernment. The following statement shows the number of chests which have actually gone forward this season (from Ist of November, 1846, to 7th of March, 1847), that is to say, the quantity on board vessels which have actually cleared out for the various ports up to this date, and ex clusive of that laden on vessels which have not as ye applied for clearance:— Chests. 0 . 4347 ••• 523 ••. 86 3,837 ••• 1,056 ••• 593 11•• Red Sea, Bombay, and Gulf ... 372 but, taking into consideration the paucity of orders from foreign parts, we should be disposed to think that at the close of the season exports will stand as follow, viz.:— To England „ the Continent „ Bombay and Gulfs 1,200 „ North Am er i ca 800 „ Up to date they are as follows, viz.:— Chests. Fy. bids.To Great Brit a i n „ France 5,286 ... 19,532 „ North Ameri ca 572 ... 1,905 „ Red Sea, Bomb a y, an d Gulfs 1,167 ... 4,052 Total Sugar—As anticipated in our last, the native mer chants have continued to force their goods on the market, and the advices by the past mail having again been somewhat encouraging a large business has been done in Benares and Date sorts, the former being taken in at from 6r. for Domma, 7r. to Br. for middling to good and second and third quality, and 9r. for fine; with Gur patty Date at Br. to Br. 4a. per maund. Stocks have of course been considerably reduced, but still appear amply sufficient to meet the probable demand until the new crop commences to arrive. Khaur and all low sugars continue to be taken for local refinement at compara tively high prices, Exports to Great Britain from the Ist instant up to date amount to 7,075 maunds. Saltpetre—Notwithstanding the excessive rates now demanded for tonnage a moderate business has been done in this staple for the English market, and the de mand being almost exclusively for fine qualities, which are comparatively scarce, these have maintained their present value; of low and middling Chuprah, however, the stock is extremely heavy, and there being scarcely anything doing for America at present prices are still looking down. Exports from the Ist inst. up to date have been as follow, viz To Great Britain 13,434-mds. France 903 „ North America Rice—The paucity of tonnage continues-the only ap parent restriction on operations in this staple for the English markets, which have neverthelesswbeen rather extensive, as will be seen by our exports; it is reported that several parties have been purchasing largely with the intetion of holding until it can be sent forward et 4nore moderate rates, but this scarcely seems probable, the immense supply at market, and in the interior, ren dering it impossitle to calculateion any d(cided advance being established for some timelo conic; our present quotatitins will be found much the same as on the 18th; ranging from Ir. 12a. to lr. Hi. for discoloured and mixed, to 2r. to 2r. 2a. for middling to good table, and 2r. 4a. to 2r. 6x. for very superior. For Mauritius a large business has hitherto been doing, but it seem, pro bable thut this will shortly be checked by vessels being taken from that trade to send home. Exports from the Ist instant up to date have been as follow, viz.:— To Great Britain ... ... 31,846 maunda France ... 0 19 Mauritius •.• ••• 9,440 „ Bourbon ... 3,000 „ Raw Silk—The somewhat improved inquiry for this staple, as noticed in our last, has continued, more espe cially for Cossimbazar, Ilurrypaul, and Radnagore, of the November bund; and the supply of these descrip tions being moderate, previous rates have been main tained. The holders of Baulsah, finding it almost impossible to get an offer for the English market, were compelled to accept 6r. to 6r. Ba. per bazaar seer, at which rates almost the whole has been taken for Bombay and the Gulfs. Exports from Ist instant up to date have been as follow, viz.:— To Great Britain France North America ... 0 „ Silk Piece Goods—Really fine corahs have been in good demand at full prices, say 125 r. to 130 r. per corge, but of these the supply has been very moderate, whilst of low and middling goods, which are in limited inquiry, and obtainable at comparatively low rates, the stock is heavy. Choppas and bandannas of good quality are sel dom obtainable in this market, and our quotations are therefore in a measure nominal. Exports from Ist inst. up to date have been as follow, viz.:— G. Britain. France. N. America. Choppas and Bandannas 1,424 0 0 pees. Shell Lac and Lac Dye—We have not the slightest alteration to notice in the position of these articles, which are still entirely neglected for shipment, and on which stocks continue to accumulate. ... 826 maunds Exports from Ist inst. up to date have been as follow, viz. : Shell Lac.

For a few days previous to the receipt of the mail on the 23d ult., the business in produce having slackened, there was less i nqu i ry f or tonnage, and some parties anxious to complete their cargo gave orders fur rice as low as 61. 10s. per ton ; subsequently, however, when it was found that the favourable advices brought by the lkiitinck were fully confirmed, a decided advance took place, the rate for rice rapidly advancing from 61. 15s. to 71. 10s. to 71. 155., at which it has of late been steady, with sugar at 71, saltpetre at 61. 155., and indigo and silk at 71.75. to 71. 15s. ; there being but little difference between London and Liverpool, except for the latter (indigo and silk), which may be quoted about ss. to is. 6d. lower for Liverpool.

CHINA. 1 tragedy occurred on the evening of the 6th ult., in Chiramo Bay, a small opium station near. Amoy, the receivin g - two vessels, Omega and Caroline, having been boarded by Chinese pirates, who murdered the captains, officers, and part of the crews of both ships, and carried off an immense booty. The circumstances are as follow: Three days before the catastrophe, two boats, of a different rig from those generally seen in that neigh bourhood, entered the bay; as they were rather suspi cious looking, Captain Macfarlane, of the Omega, sent kis serang (native boatswain) on board of them, to ascertain what they wanted. They said they were salt dealers from liong-Kong. Both boats were heavily armed for their size, as, besides ginjalls and other Chinese weapons, one carried five, and the other six, guns, but apparently without more than sufficient hands to work the boats. The serang wished to look down into the hold, but was not permitted to do so. The gunner was afterwards sent, with orders to bring one of the Chinamen on board the OrneL;a; but they all re fused to accompany him, but said that if it continued calm they would conic next day and buy opium. Two boats sent from the Caroline received no more satisfac tory answer. In the morning the two boats left the bay, returning to their anchorage in the evening, and this they repeated the following day. On the 6th, however, as they were sailing back they laid them selves one on each side of the Omega, and threw fire balls on the deck. One boarded while the other pro cmded towards the Caroline, which was lying a short distance off, and took possession of her. The schooners appeared to have been entirely unprepared for resistance, as none of their guns were loaded. The Lascars who ‘i ere on the deck of the Omega either jumped or were thrown overboard, having barely time to give the alarm to their comrades below, too late, however, for them to offer any resistance, as the pirates battened down the hatches upon them. The officers rushed out of the cabin, but, with the exception of the mate, who must have been immediately killed, ran down again for arms. The captain and gunner, with their servants and two native steersmen or seacunnies, took refuge in the after cabin, where, though the two former were severely wounded, they defended themselves for some time, till the skylight was taken off and fireballs thrown down, upon which the gunner and servants returned to the fore-cabin, and the seacunnies Nk cut out through the quarter galleries. The last seen of the captain was, that he opened the stern windows and called for the long-boat to come alongside ; but she had been previously cut adrift by the pirates, with a China girl and several of the Lascars, who fortunately reached the shore in safety. The pirates then proceeded to rifle the vessel. The watch on board the Carolino supposed the Omega to be on fire, and reported the matter to Captain C hamberlain . All hands were called, when it was discovered that she was not burning, but in the hands of pirates, and that a boat was coming towards the Caroline. The men were sent below for arms, and in the meantime the pirates pnlled alongside. The cap tain, instead of attempting a defence, ordered the gig and jollyboats to be lowered for the purpose of makin g his escape, but the one was swam p ed and the other smashed betwixt the pirate boat and the schooner. The captain, two mates, and nine lascars, then leap ed over board, and were probably e i t h er drownedor killed in attempting to regan the vessel by the chains. ',. Captain Chamberlain's b o d y was afterward beach, at Chim mo . A SeaCUR d s picked up o n th e y jumping int o t h e sea, and indu ced na vised th em aga i ns t one of his comrade s to remain. Th ey took to the riggidg, and were saved. When all the treasure and by far the greater part of the opium had been removed into the pirate boats, the crew of the Omega succeeded in breaking through the bulkheads into the cab'n from which they d rove the • . ' pirates. This alarmed those above, and the whole retreated to their boats, crying that the Malays were upon them. They then sounded a gong, which seemed to have been a preconcerted sig nal, as their comrades, who were rifling the Caroline hurried int o t h e i r b oat an d i mmed i ately made sail. , When the Lascars reached the deck of the Omega, they found all the guns spiked, with the exception of one, which was slung ready for removal. This th e y l oa d e d and fired, but without any apparent injury to the pirates, who threatened to return and kill them all, to which the Lascars answered they were quite ready for them. IMPORTS FROM EUROPE. BRITISH COTTON PIECE GOODS. The advices of the great advance in the value of the raw material at home have not as yet had the effect of enabling importers to establish any material advance in the prices of manufactures here, but have neverthe less induced them, generally speaking, to show increased firmness for all descriptions, there being every reason to anticipate some improvement as the stocks in the hands of dealers become reduced, it being evident that shipments from home must fall off. Some few par ties appea r di sposed to realise at a slight advancs " t h e rates pre v i ous l y current, being anxi ous t o takeadvan tage of th e present high ruling of exchange, but cannot present fi n d purchasers even at this, except to a vt escr ons of " ery ,.can ra extent; the rvported sal es o f a l mos t al i fabrics u n d er t hi s head show a falling descriptions re montb, and prices are a t p resen t i n a 50 per cen t. as compared with those of off of nearly u nominal. the previous As I said before, the booty must have been immense, the Omega:having lost opium to the value of 70,000 dolls., with 40,000 dolls. The Caroline's loss was not so high, but is estimated in opium and treasure at 60,000 dolls.— Total 170,000 dolls., or about 36,0001.

Sir, — The following cure I feel bound to acquaint you with, that others may have the opportunity of making a trial of your Pills and °int. ment in analagous cases. Catharine Owen, residing in Bridge street, suffered from a bad leg, that was covered with sores discharg ing immense quantities of humour. The agony occasioned was so great as to prevent her from getting a moment's repose, yet your Pills and Ointment cured her, though she had been under several eminent surgeons.—(Signed) S.

Johnson says, "It is the parenthesis of human woe." Sleep being thus appreciated by mankind, how desirous ought we to be that all should tranquilly enjoy " sweet repose," the general obstruction of which is through an unhealthy obstruction of the liver or other viscera. A little attention to the "young disease," by having recourse to a mild aperient, often pro duces the most salutary effect, and for such purpose Framp. ton's Pill of Health stands prominent in public opinion. BRITISH SOCIETY FOR THE PROPAGATION OF THE GOEPEL AMONG THE JEws.—•Thursday night the fourth annual meeting of the above society took place in Freemasons' Hall, and was attended by 2,500 ladies and gentlemen of various religious denominations, and the platform was crowded with ministers of the Church of England, and also of the Presby terian, Moravian, and other Dissenting congregations, in ad dition to several converted Jews, native African missionaries, &c. John Dean Paul, Esq., treasurer, presided. The ge neral report and the finance reports, both from the Ladies' and Gentlemen's Commit 4 .oes, were read by the Secretary, and unanimously adopted. The gross amount of subscriptions and donations collected by the Ladies' Committee amounted to 1276/. is. 6id., from which a balance of 1,171/. 14s. bid. was handed over to the general account, and added to the gentlemen's subscriptions of 7441. 16s. ld., and the previous balance of 369/. 9s. 4d., made the gross receipts 2,286/. Os. 1 lid., which, after paying 1,425/. 12s. 7 1 Ad. for various expenses of missionaries, in addition to other expenses, there remained a balance of 301. 29. After ether business the meeting broke up. Nine workmen and day labourers were accused at a recent sitting of the Court of Assizes of the Indre with having taken part in the corn riots, and the pillaging of grain at Luant and Laperouille. Four were acquitted, two were condemned to five years hard labour, three to four years' im prisonment, and all five to 200 f. fine and costs. OVER LAND MAIL INDIA AND C LIANA. (From the Times.) We have received, by extraordinary express from Marseilles, our dispatches in anticipation of the Bombay mails to the 15th of March, a brief sum mary of which appeared in our IVednesday im pression. 's From the Punjaub we learn that details of the con spiracy against T e j Si ng h an d o thers of the chiefs were every day c orn i ng t o li g ht. The religious enthusiasts of Lahore, ca ll e d the Akhalees, are at the bottom of th e w h o l e, an 1 i t w ill require the utmost caution on the part of the Lahore Government to prevent the assassination of some of its leaders. The mode in which all dissatisfaction is shown in the Punjaub is by mutilation and murder. We may ex pect to hear of such - atrocities within a short time. The British officers are on the alert to prevent them, but. the enthusiasts are only waiting their oppor tunity. The death of th e n o t o ri ous Akbar Khan, the son and Wuzee r o f D ost M ahom ed, of Caubul, lit an nounced, but it requ i res to be con firmed. The cause is said to b e d e li r i um tr e mens — a fit death for such a character. There appear to be intrigues at work at Candahar and Caubul. Persia is said to be the agent of a great European Power in all these intrigues. The British agent sent into Caubul some time back, to recover. Ake ,pALsoncrs left hehincl after the retreat from Caubul, has returned; he arrived at Lahore with the rescued captives, among whom is a European boy, whom Colonel Lawrence has under taken to protect. In Sinde tranquillity prevails ; the hot weather was beginning, yet there was no remarkable sickness. Sir C. Napier had returned to Kurrachee; he had visited the plains of Meeanee and Dubba, as if, as some maintained, in anticipation of his retirement from Sinde. His enemies are not idle in their old trade of misrepresenting all his actions. The Governor-General was at Hurdwar on the 10th of February, and the Commander-in- Chief had left Kalka on the 7th. Both those noblemen were preparing to go to Simla, to pass the hot months at that pleasant station. The Nizani's dominions present the same picture of a dilapidated treasury and a miserable people. All sorts of outrages are perpetrated. The present Government of these fine districts of the Deccan is impotent for producing any good ; and some altera tion must speedily be effected to relieve the wretched inhabitants. The arrival at Calcutta of the 252 guns from Lahore took place in the beginning of February, and was the occasion of much rejoicing in that capital. In Bombay there was much discussion respecting the decisions of the Judges of the Supreme Court in the case of the demurrer against the proceed ings of the plaintiff in the celebrated opium ac tions. The Chief Justice gave judgment in favour of the demurrer ; while the Puisne Judge, in a clear and well-reasoned discourse, gave a contrary opinion. Both these judgments have been pub lished, and will be found worthy the attention of those who seek to understand the nature of Indian time-bargains. An appeal, on behalf of the plain- tiff, has been sent home against the decision of the new Chief Justice of Bombay. The matter is of great interest to that Presidency, for, if the demurrer be established, it will be difficult to make the native dealers adhere to any pro spective contracts, or promises to take goods at a future day. Her Majesty's 17th Regiment left Bombay on the . 4th of March on board the barques . John Bremer and Ann. Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas M'Mahon, Bart., quitted Bombay on the 15th of March. He was suc ceeded as Commander-in-Chief by Major-General Morse, until the arrival of Sir Willoughby Cotton, who was expected to arrive from England in the beginning of April. (From the Bombay Times.) Another fortni g h t of almost news l ess t ranqu illi ty has passed over u s , and the peace po li cy of the pre sent Governor-G eneral, which leaves li tt l e to recor d and nothing to cr i t i c i se, continues to be t h e b ane of journalists. The current of events in the Punjaub continues to run on as smoothly as if it had flowed undisturbed in the same channel for centuries. Festivities and gaieties seem to have taken the place of intrigues and murder, and no portents are now discoverable calculated to occasion alarm. The troubles in the Hazareh country have been subdued, and Lieutenant Lumsden is loud in the praise of his S e ikh a lli es. The messeng er sent into A ffghanistan in quest of the captiv es l e f t b ehind in our retreat in 1842 has re turned with th ose he has been enabled to release. Th ey consist chi e fl y of the children of our Sepoys or servants of the officers. He received every assistance in their recovery that c ou ld h ave been desired from the Ameer of Caubul. Akbar Khan is dead. From the time we discovered the Sirdar to be our enemy, when we ex pected him to have acted as the mediator betwixt the beleagured garrison of Caubul and the insurgent Ghilzies, he has been the object of unremitting obloquy and slander. G r i evously as he has been misrepresented, there seems to have been mach in his character adverse to the peace of the state and the harmony of his father's house. His removal relieves us of the awkwardness of forfeiting our pl e d ge b y declining to recognise him on his succession to the th rone, or, by keeping it, admitting to terms the destroy er of a British Envoy. Throughout Affghanistan the u sua l course of turbulence an d di sor d er appears to prevail. The Governor-General continues in the north west provinces. No credence is given here to the reports of his removal to be found in the English papers. We know how cordially his measures have been commended both in Leadenhall-street and Cannon-row, and we think it unlikely that any Administration will dare to inter rupatuathcoourris w seo i f ll p in o g licy so auspiciously begun, so long as itsto undertake its guidance. Discontent continues throughout the Nizam's domi nions, and disturbances in the Gumsoor country. Sinde is quiet and healthy. Sir C. Napier has returned to Kurrachee and Hyderabad. A complimentary order to General Hunter had been issued by him on the retire ment of the worthy veteran from the country. The 3d Light Cavalry, supposed to have fallen under the Gover nor's displeasure in consequence of their having per mitted the Booghties to escape them, have been highly complimented in orders. The Seikh guns. 252 in number, captured in the late campaign, have reached Calcutta. The cost of their conveyage from the Sutlej to the Hooghly is estimated at 25 000/. , _ _ Sit: Thomas M'Mahon, Commander-in-Chief of the Bombay army, leaves us by this day's steamer, amidst the general good wishes of the community. Having declined to accept of a gift on his departure, a bracelet, of the value of nearly 2,0001, has been bestowed on Lady M`Mu.hon. General Morse succeeds succeeds him as Commander of the Forces until the a rr i va l o f Sir W. Cotton, who is expected here about the 10th proximo. A meeting for the relief of the distressed Scotch and Irish took place a week since, and already has nearly 3,000/. been subscribed at the Presidency our princely Pareee Knight, Sir Jemsetjee Jeeje e bb oy, contributing 500/. out of his own pocket. The Governor of Bombay is about proceeding to the Mahabuleshwur Hills, returning_ . to th e Presidency prior to the dispatch of the Ist o f Apr i l mail. The Dutch barque Marie has been wrecked it Madras, a heavy ground swell having cauaed her to drag her cable and drift ashore. Sir E. Perry has decided that the late opium sale time bargains at Bombay were legal—Sir D. Pollock being of a contrary opinion. It is said that an appeal against the judgment of the Chief Justice is about to be trans witted home.
