Price 2s. 9d. per Bottle The astonishing success whic crowned the application of this external Medicine in most hopeless and deplorable cases, when the unhapp serer had despaired of ever gaining even the least relief, a his after the ablest advice and every other means had core ietely failed, most justly entitles it to the attention of the afilicted. This excellent Medicine, so universally esteemed, is unat tended with the least danger or inconvenience; hundreds have experienced its happy and salutary effects since it was first introduced; and such are the properties of this invaluable Specific that persons labouring under the most distressing `Rheumatism, 'Rheumatic Gout, and Lumbago , and rendereu thereby incapable of assisting themselves, have been relieved in a few hours. Amongst many which are being daily received are the follow mg testimonials : Well-street, Cripplegate. SIR,—I have been several weeks confined to my bed by Gout and Rheumatism, not a part from my head to my feet free from pain, and as helpless as an infant : not even a finger could I move. In this unpleasant situation I was informed by my me dical attendant he had applied all the usual remedies, and that I might remain months in my deplorable situation. Fortunately your remedy was made known,to me, or I might have been to this day confined to my bed. After a close appli cation of four days, my troublesome companion began to dis appear ; in a week I was capable of walking about my room, and by another week's perseverance in the use of your Medi cine was enabled to leave London. Fearful of another attack, you will please to send six bottles.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant,— D. W. STONE. iforley's Hotel, Strand, 18th August, 1846. St 11,-1 have hitherto had a prejudice against having recourse to advertised medicines, but as I have for years been a severe sufferer from Lumbago, as well as Sciatica, and having tried several of the most eminent Physicians of London and Paris I was induced by a friend to make a trial of your liquid, called " Sedeant's Lotion." I think it in gratitude due to you to say, in less than an hour from the time I applied the Lotion, I felt the most pleasant and indescribable relief. The immediate effect was to produce a short but tranquil and most refreshing slumber, from which I awoke to enjoy that which was, from its novelty, the greatest happiness—perfect quietude and freedom rom nam. The number of poor souls that suffer as I have is immense, and if the publication of this testimony can induce one to accept of the salvation you offer, I shall feel that I have not lived in vain.—With many thanks I am yours, HENRI VILLENNEVE. 14, Belmont-place, Wandsworth-road, Oct. 26, 1844. Stit,—l feel in duty bound to acknowledge, that after suffer ing acute pains from Sciatica, or severe Rheumatic affection in the hip-joint, and being deprived of rest, I was persuaded to try your embrocation, and have the pleasure to stw that after three applications I was restored to my usual health ; and, al though two years have passed, I have no return of the disorder. —I am, Sir, gratefully yours, EDWARD NOYES.

NORTH, in the Chair, the following Resolutions were proposed, seconded, and unanimously passed : Proposed by Mr. RosKELL, seconded by Mr. BROWN, and carried nuanimously, 1. That this meeting views with astonishment and dismay the apparently unlimited power placed in the hands of the Common Council of Liverpool by the recent Sanatory Act, as exhibited in the laying of most exorbitant local Rates, for the present year, upon the Inhabitants of this township these Rates being very nearly double the amount of those lai d for the preriour year, and four times the amount of the average of former years. Proposed by Mr. DOVER, seconded by Mr. PARNALL, and pasted unanimously, 2. That this meeting is ignorant of the existence of any ade quate motive for such augmentation of the Rates; and being convinced of the inability of the township to meet them , they foresee that any attempt to enforce them will he attended' with very serious privations and distress to the Inhabitants. Proposed by Mr. DUCKWORTH, seconded by Mr. MEDCALFE, and carried unanimously, 3. That the Ratepayers and Owners of Property are of opinion that it is unjust in principle, and highly prejudicial to the interests and welfare of the township, that there should exist— totally and independent of them—a power authorized to lay upon them such an unprecedented and enormous amount of Rates,—they themselves having no efficient representation therein nor even any supervision over the expenditure. 4. Thati a Standing Committee, consisting of the following gentlemen,— Messrs. North, Roskell, Thomas Medcalfe, Brown, Hampson, Miller, James Johnstone, Duckworth, North, John Johnson, Dover, Parker, and Parnall, (with power to add to their numberd be appointed to carry out the objects of this meeting, to lay before his worship the Mayor their sentiments, and to take such further steps as may be deemed most conducive to the interests of the township.

Shrewsbury. June 3, 1848. MR. GRANTHAM ON THE SUPPLY OF WATER, We were favoured yesterday, by Mr. Grantham, with the proof sheets of a pamphlet which will be published to-day, and which contains a report of. the address which he delivered at a recent meeting of the Polytechnic Society. Mr. Grantham's arguments deserve to be maturely weighed. We can only find room for the following ex tracts from this highly important paper. OUR. LOCAL RESOURCES. Mr. Simpson is now engaged by the Manchest er an d Salford Water Works Company in the work of sinking a large well, and tunnelling in the red rock, at that com pany's works at Gorton, with the confident expectation of obtaining a large supply of water. He has s uccee d e d in obtaining 1,500,000 gallons dply, and they are now fixing the permanent pumps, which will raise 2,500,000 gallons daily; and it is the intention of the company to continue working until that quantity is obtained. Mr. Simpson says : " There can be no doubt about the practicability of ob taining large supplies of water in Liverpool and the vicinity, by sinking and tunnelling in the red sandstone formation. It pervades large tracts of the country to the northward and northeastward of the town. Considerable areas of the porous or alluvial soil overlying it are tra versed by brooks and streams, parts of the water of which are absorbed in its passages, in dry seasons, while in wet seasons floods occur and cover large tracts of the country, and by these means so completely saturate the red rock that water cannot fail to be abundant in it at all seasons, if proper means are applied to procure, raise, and convey it for the convenience of the inhabitants." RECEIPTS AND PRESENT EXPENDITURE. The Corporation find themselves in this position. They have already, by the award of Mr. Stephenson, to pay £537,500 in round numbers : the works in Green-lane, in round numbers, cost £BO,OOO. Then I have added to this, parliamentary expenses already incurred—a new system of pipes—a great many new ones and a great many alterations—which will be necessary in case the system is thoroughly improved and the mains made as they ought to be, with a new engine and station, if found necc:ssary ; which together I put down at £150,000 : making a total of £767,500 as the outlay, in case the present supply is retained, but with certain improvements. Interest upon this at 5 percent.—(for wemust notreckonless to be safe)—would be £38,375. Working expenses I have increased from £23,000 to £30,000 ; although, as an amalgamated concern, I believe Green-lane and altogether may be worked for less. This would make the gross ex pense £68,375, coming bard upon the very sum which is named as the receipts expected even from the Rivington Pike scheme. It comes to £68,000, instead of £75,000, reported as the probable amount of the receipts. Here we are, without any extension at all, very near the amount. WHERE IS THE MONEY TO COME FROM ? Another serious question presents itself, and although I, as an engineer, should not perhaps deal with it, yet I was drawn into it the other evening, and I will go on. Some members were talking about rates when they heard my statement; and a member of the Water Committee, I believe, said there would be no increase of rates—that there was a limitation fixed by the act of parliament, so that we could have no increase. Well, I asked the ques tion before and I ask it again. If no more than 5 per cent. on the rents is to be charged, and if 10 per cent. will not cover the expenses, who is to pay the difference ? Sup posing 10 per cent. is required, where is the additional 5 per cent. to come from ? Ido not ask this for the purpose of cavilling, or to make out a case, but in sober earnestness. We are at this time surrounded with difficulties. I find my taxes and rates together will be something like half my rent, and I am not living in a very cheap part of the town—Prince's Park. I say half my rent, not half the assessment. I am beginning to feel the weight of the taxes, which I did not do before. It becomes a serious question for me, as it is for every body else, how we are to pay for these grand schemes. TWELFTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE AINTREE HOPWOOD BENEVOLENT SOCIETY.—This very useful and prosperous society held their annual meeting on Tuesday ; the mem bers assembled, at eleven o'clock, at the house of Host Rossall, at Aintree, from whence they marched in exceller t order, accompanied by their splendid band, to Aintrc,; chapel where they attended divine service, and heard a. very appropriate sermon from the Rev. W. H. Vernon, who gave for his text, Luke x, xxix, "And who is my neighbour." After explaining the parable of the good Samaritan, that the parables of our Lord have been justly regarded in all ages of the church as one of her richest treasures, containing the choicest instruction in a shape that will neither over burden or elude the memory; the reverend gentleman, in a very striking and beautiful manner, enlarged on the well known parable of the good Samaritan, and showed that we aro not now living in days of cold indifference to the claims of the needy and distressed, having the advantage of so many useful societies and clubs, especially such as the Aintree Hopwood Benevolent Society, which he was happy to hear was now in a most prosperous and flourishing condition. The discourse, which was both interesting and profitable, was listened to with great attention. After the service was concluded, the members formed in order, preceded by their medical doctor and other officers of the society, with band playing and colours flying, marched to their rooms at Aintree, where they sat down to an excellent dinner, pre pared by the host. The cloth being removed, the loyal toasts, the Queen, and the other Members of the Royal Family, were given. The Church, Army, and Navy, the healths of the Earl and Countess of Sefton, the worthy Rector of Sefton, &c., &c., were received with applause. The funds have increased upwards of £5O Bs. Bd. during the last year. We should have been glad to have added that - the funds for the provision for the spiritual exigencies of the district are in an equally prosperous condition ; but we regret to find that there Is a debt of nearly £lOO still hanging over the promoters of the new church at Aintree. We hope that this will soon be liquidated, for the district is an extensive one, and the advantages likely to accrue from the services of the new incumbent are calculated to be great and lasting. THE CENTRAL FIRE GUN.—The shooting season will soon be here, and our sporting friends will do well to call on our neighbours, Messrs. Bentley of South Castle street. Prince Albert, last July, had a gun made by them on their patented principle, End they have, in consequence, recently been appointed gun-makers to his Royal High ness, a proof that the Prince, who is an excellent shot, must have been pleased with their work. We repeat, our sporting friends will do well to call on Messrs. Bentley. CORNS AND BUNIONS.—SO numerous have been the de ceptions practised by unskilful operations, that it takes no little time for a really skilful chiropodest, to gain con fidence with the public. Mr. Levi, whose advertisement appears in to-day's paper, paid his fourth annual visit to Liverpool some time since, and after a more than usually long sojourn returned to London, but such satisfaction had his operations given,-that in order to meet the wishes of many who had addressed him, he has been compelled after a limited absence to honour us with another visi t, which is certainly a proof of the appreciation of that skill so fullvborn out in the numerous testimonials . he daily obtains from those who for years have been relieved by GENERAL TRADE REPORT. Monday Night. If any thing were needed to demonstrate the peculiarly unspeculative nature of our present commercial dealings, the last statistical return of the Liverpool cotton trade, as given below, amply supplies the deficiency. We find that the amount taken on speculation from the Ist Jan. to the 9th June, 1848, was not one-eighth of that taken during the corresponding period last year; whilst it is also shown that it is not only in this department that the trade has suffered, the exports having been less by 10,750 bales. It is worthy of notice, however, that although the trade has been so far limited, the demand for consumption has increased 111,200 bales. That a vast quantity of mo ney is lying idle at a time like the present is not at all sur prising ; and it is satisfactory to know that consumers bane not only kept pace with previous purchases, but have gone somewhat beyond them. Our monetary affairs still continue prosperous, and Consols may be quoted ge nerally higher, the lowest point during the past week hav ing been 831, at which they were once quoted on Satur day, in consequence of the arrival of lower prices from Paris, and the insurrectionary news from Lahore. They finally recovered, however, to 8.14- to k. SHARES continue very dull, and prices of some stocks have receded still further. London and North-Western, which were last Monday 126, are to-day 122. In other stocks (with the exception of Dovers, which are very flat) there has been no material change in price. Royal Assurance Shares still continue in demand at an advanced price, and are only kept from a considerable rise by Chartist excitement. The transactions in the COLONIAL MARKET for the last three or four days have not been large, owing princi pally to holders not pressing their produce for sale. Sugar has presented rather a dull appearance : the sales are 100 hhds. West India, and 1000 bags Bengal, at previous rates. There is not much activity in the Ruin Market; 31 to 38 per cents. will not fetch more than 2s 9d to 3s per gallon. Coffee on the whole has been dull, particularly for the inferior kinds : good and fine qualities are at the present time rather scarce and in request, and have in consequence supported formerprices. At auction, 1200 bags of Laguayra of the new crop went at 36s to 57s Gd per cwt. For Rice a limited demand exists, and it moves off but slowly, at previous low rates. At sale 2,000 bags yellow cargo went at 7s 6d to is 9d, and 500 bags mixed Bengal raw, broken, and mixed, Os Gd duty paid. Jute con tinues to be in good request : 500 bales fetched £l4 to £l5 per ton for common to middling quality. —ln London the public sales of sugar have been mode rate, and although importers have been tolerably firm, they have again had to make a concession in price of about 6d. per cwt. Coffee has barely maintained previous rates. The prices of tea have been well maintained, and for the me dium kinds and finer sorts of congou a slight advance has been occasionally realised. Saltpetre has experienced a further fall. The demand for Foreign Wool, is still very languid ; East India and Low Buenos Ayres are almost the only descriptions enquired for. Of the latter, there have been some large sales made during the past week. Alpaca is in request. The public sales advertised for the 20th will, it is expected, be postponed for the present, as part will not be landed in time. Rather more has been done in Scotch, principally in crossed laid and cheviot, but no change in prices. Imports for the.week : Foreign, from West Coast 128, previously 34,331 ; total 34,459. Scotch, 22; previously 5,125; total 5,147. • There was some demand for Scotch Pig IttoN during last week, but the market is again dull, and prices may be quoted 425. 6d. at Glasgow. Still influenced by the large supplies of fresh Butter, which pour into our country markets, the demand for Tarsi' Butter continues limited, and prices are a little easier; with the probability, however, of the haymaking season commencing shortly in this district, we may look forward to a better demand. The arrivals from Water ford and Cork to this port are somewhat diminishing, whilst those from the northern districts are on the in crease : the imports for the week ending this day are 6741 firkins and 1145 crocks. Prices (landed): Water ford, new, 88s. to 90s. ; Carrick, new, 883.: Cork dry thirds, 80s. ; Wexford, Carlow, 86s. to 883. ; Ballymoney and Coleraine, 86s. The arrivals of Bacon are 114 bales, sizeable samples of which are in good demand, but heavy meat or inferior qualities move badly: Long./diddles, free from bone, new, 565. to 58s. ; Short Middles, 58s. Fine Keg Lard, 50s. to 525. A fair extent of business has been done in AMERICAN Lard by private, and at the public sale last week ordi nary qualities were disposed of at former rates, ar►d finer descriptions at an improvement of is to is 6d, thus re gaining the loss of the previous week. Beef is in fair demand. The market is well supplied with " prime mess" Pork, and prices are not very firm. The sales of Bacon scarcely keep pace with the imports, which are large, and importers have given way in price is to 2s per cwt. There has been a good inquiry for Hams in dry salt, and all offering have been taken at 32s to 39s 6d ; the market has also been cleared of old at about 30s. New Shoulders have been taken at 22s to 255, and are in fair demand. There is no Grease Better in the market, and the article is likely to be very scarce this season, as we shall have very little of our own.—Prices current Cheese-(duty paid)-Fine, 48s to 52s per cwt. ; 43s to 46s ; ordinary, 33s to 425. Beef-U.S. (free)-Prime mess, per tree. 3041 b., 85s to 92s Gd ; ordinary, 76s to 836, old 608 to 68s; extra, India, family, &c., 97s to 105 s; ditto, per half-barrel, 30s to 35s ;-mess per barrel, 200:b., 50s to 56s ; ordinary, 40s to 465, old 36s to 40s; prime, 34s to 365.

Lard-(free)-Fine, in kegs and bar rels, 428 to 44s per cwt. ; good, in do. do., 39s to 40s ; ordinary to middling, 375 6d to 38s ; inferior, and grease, 28s to 345. Butter-Grease. (free,) 40s to 45s per cwt. Pilot Biscuit (duty paid)-15s to 20s per cwt. There has been a slow, quiet CorroN market to-day ; few of the trade here, and the sales not more than 4,500 bales, of which 1,500 have been purchased by one house, (Wrigley's,) leaving a very limited demand for the general buying. The transactions have again been almost exclu sively confined to the common class of American, at about Saturday's prices. During the week the market has been flat ; and although we cannot alter the quotations of the previous week, the daily demand has been very freely met by holders, and buyers have had an opportunity of making a better selection, in some instances, probably on more advantageous terms. There have been taken on specula tion this year 22,500 bales; ditto in 1847, 184,400; stock in Liverpool 31st December, 1847, 363,530 ; ditto in 1846, 438,970; forwarded unsold this year, 10,220; ditto last year, 18,050; increase of import this year as compared with last, 191,613 ; decrease in stock as compared with last year, 14,900; quantity taken for consumption this year, 562.500; ditto in 1847, same period, 451,300; increase of quantity taken for consumption, 111,200. The TIMBER. trade latterly has been very dull, the de mand being of the most limited nature since the Ist. Six cargoes of American timber have arrived, and only one, a cargo of Spruce Deals, Las been sold, at £7 17s. 6d. per standard. Two parcels of Pitch Pine have been sold off the quay, one at 191 d. per foot, and an inferior lot at 171 d. per foot. From the yard an old cargo of Quebec Pine was sold at 131 d. per foot. The prices of TOBACCO are :-Virginia leaf faded, per lb. on board, 2id. to 21J. ; ordinary sound, 3(1. to 31d. ; middling, 4d. ; good. 41d. to sd. ; fine, 51d. ; stemmed sound, 3d. to 6id. ; Kentncky leaf, 2d. to 4d. ; stemmed, 3d. to 51d. ; manufactured, 4d. to 9d. There has been very little passing in the CORN trade here to-day, except as regards Indian Corn and Meal, which articles, meeting with an increased demand, have again advanced in price, and must be noted, the former Is. 6d. per quarter, and the latter ls. 3d. to ls. 6d. per barrel, dearer than on Friday, 365. 6d. having been ob tained for Indian Corn. This, however, combined with the improvement which took place on Friday, does not make up for the decline which, as will be seen in another page; took place on Tuesday. The markets generally throughout the United Kingdom seem rather lower, the only exception being Indian Corn and Meal. Imports since Thursday :-Wheat, Coastwise, 1085 ; Europe, &c., 2100 qrs.: Malt, Ireland, 70 ; Coastwise, 420 qrs.: Oats, Ire land, 1350 qrs.: Beans, Europe, &c., 900 qrs.: Indian Corn, United States, 1912 qrs.: Oatmeal, Ireland, 1230 loads : Flour, Ireland, 2168 sacks. Exports since Thurs day :-Wheat, Coastwise, 125 qrs.: Indian Corn, Ire land, 1650 qrs.: Indian Corn Meal, Ireland, 850 barrels : Flour, Coastwise, 90 sacks ; 150 brls, : Ireland, 790 brls. The amount of notes in circulation, according to the last return from the Bank of England, is £17,779,405, being a decrease of £32,550; and the stock of bullion in both departments is £13,597,206, showing an increase of £82,467 when comp-red with the previous return. We have to-day to announce two further failures in the RA.* India trade, the parties being Messrs. Kellsalla and Co., and Messrs. Speir and Co. The liabilities arc not large in either case, but the houses were both very res pectable, and had they failed a year or two back, the amount would have been considerable. A succession of bad remittances from India have led to these stoppages ; but in the case of Messrs. Kellsalls, it is understood that the resources of the firm were crippled some time ago by the failure of Alexander Beattie and Co., of Calcutta ; while in that of Messrs. Speir and Co. the death of the senior partner is stated as the immediate cause. The accounts of the banks of France for the present week exhibit some important variations, but on the whole they show no material improvement in the position of that establishment, while as regards the government balances they are again decidedly unfavourable. The spe cie had increased about £382,000, and the circulation about £315,000. The private deposits have decreased about £119,000, and the government deposits, notwith standing the approaching payment of the dividends, have only increased £2,000. The total discounts have increased 195,000, a diminuation in Paris having been more than counteracted by an increase at the branches. The most remarkable item in the statement is a decrease of £447,000 in the overdue bills ; since, although there is an addition of £90,000 under the head of protested bills, it is difficult to imagine that the balance of £357,000 can have been met within the space of a single week. Pro bably, however, the explanation would be found in a large number of renewals having been acceded to. The Three per Cents. closed on the Paris Bourse on Saturday, at 45f. 75c. ; the Five per Cents., €Bf. The Brussels papers publish at length the statutes of the banking establishment, lately constituted by joint sub scription, called the " Union of Credit." the professed object of which is to afford assistance in the shape of dis counts to the commercial, agricultural, and manufacturing interests. The advices from Amsterdam of the 6th of June mention the failure of the house of Mr. Jacob Post. From Ham burgh the letters of the same date report no alteration. Money was still a drug at 21 per cent. ; and as regards business, although some cotton had been sold, and sugar inquired for, it was at prices " tremendously low." It is mentioned in the continental papers that, as the great majority of the creditors of Schaffhausen and Co. have accepted the terms of liquidation proposed by the committee of investigation, there is reason to believe that the firm will, at no distant period, be enabled to resume buainees. IMPORTANT TO OUR SHIPPING INTERESTS MEASUREMENT OF BRITISH SHIPS. One would imagine, upon b e i ng i n iti a t e d (if, that were possible) into the mysteries of o ur s hippi ng l aws , th a t i n place of being, as we assume to be, the greatest maritime nation in the world, we are in fact only tyros in the seve ral arts appertaining to navigation. We can certainly build ships not to be excelled by any in the world if we be so minded, but though we have ar r i ve d a t th e su bli me science of measuring a cask of ruin to an azimuth of half a pint, we have not yet attained the more vulgar skill to ascertain the true admeasurement o f a goo d l ump o f a ship within an approximation of one or two hundred tons, as the size may be ! The old law of me asuremen t was faulty in the extreme, the depth of hold being considered too insignificant for notice, and hence, to evade duty, (and who would not if they could accomplish it le g iti ma t e l y !) we had mercantile "poor mens' ships," that might carry. a third more than their registered tonnage, because " wall sided," to reduce the beam, and of such depth of hull, by the super-addition to anything like fair proportions, of a cellar under where the kelson ought to be, giving the vessel when loaded an enormous draught of water, ,and rendering her, when light, so crank and unstable, that before the imported cargo could be all discharged, new cargo or ballast had to be taken in, in order to keep her on her legs, or, in other words, to prevent her from falling on her beam ends ! Fraud could also be practised by the mode in which the "perpendiculars" were to be struck for length. The new rule (of 1836) is equally faulty, giving a fictitious increase of tonuage . to . British ships which are subjected to it, while (mtrabtle dtctu!) foreign vessels are measured, for dues, by another section of the act of parliament, which, though it amoximates the true burthen, gives them an advantage over our own ships of, upon an average, 20 per cent in tonnage ! The maritime public ought to consider themselves much indebted to our townsman, Mr. Henry Cleaver Chapman, agent to Lloyd's at this port, and himself a n a uti ca l man , for an able exposition of the injustice noticed, in addition to his able pamphlet, published some few years ago,. on the uniform and proportionate rig of square-rigged mer-. chant vessels. He has expressed his ideas on the subject in a circular, demonstrating, by help of a few simple but accurate diagrams, the evils under notice, and "the necessity of an inquiry into the present mode of measuring British ships." He shows that the new method, adopted in 1836, is a fallacy, and after describing the only really true manner of ascertaining the precise tonnage—namely, measuring and reducing to weight the water which the vessel displaces, he states " that the nearest approxima tion by dimensions will be found to be by the 6th section 5 and 6 William IV., cap. 56, by which all foreign ships are measured, whilst British ships are subjected to mea surement under the 2nd section, commonly called the new mode of measurement, whereby a fictitious increase of British tonnage of from 15 to 25 per cent. has been re corded since 1836, as shown in the following cases : Ships. Tons old. Tons new. Scotland.... Pemberton.. Ganges and others. He remarks that from these examples it' is clear that " all the statistical returns of British tonnage, since 1836, are fallacious, as a standard of comparison, and therefore the premises of the President of the Board of Trade, and the Chairman of the Dock Committee, on which they ground their reasons, and shape their mea sures, are erroneous, and all they assert should be taken at what it is worth, viz.—a discount of 20 per cent. This may, in some measure, account for the legislative wild ness so characteristic of the present age, and which may be said to approach to statistical insanity, a madman being described by an eminent philosopher as one who reasoned well, but from unsound premises; that was, he acted under a delusion, reasoning rightly, but mistaking facts." He concludes by giving, as an example of the inequality of measurement, the following " returns of American ships trading to Liverpool : Packets. Isaac Wright, NEW YORK PACKET-SHIPS.

LATEST FOREIGN AND COLONIAL. INDIA. DISTURBANCES IN MOULTAN. (From the Times of yesterday./ ALEXANDRIA, MAY 29. 7 The Honourable East India Company's steamer, Semi ramis arrived at Suez on the 27th instant, having on board Sir G. It. Clerk, K.C.8., late Governor of Bombay, arid suite. The Semiramis left Bombay on the 7th, and has brought the following important intelligence, which is taken from a supplement of the Bombay Times, dated the Gth of May : "LAHORE, APRIL 25. " The news from Moultan savours of war. There has been a fight bttween our political agents, Anderson and Vans Agnew, at the head of the Khalsa troops, and the Moultanees, in which the former were defeated. Both Vans Agnew and Anderson have been severely wounded. A detachment of the Maharajah's troops, under Deena Nauth, left yesterday ; and her Majesty's 10th, Bth, 73d, and 50th Native Infantry, Wheeler's Horse, Campbell's Troop Horse Artillery. and Austin's battery, are under orders for immediate service. It is said that Moultan is in a very disturbed state. Brigadier Campbell, C. 8.; as sumes the command of the column, which is quite ready. The fort of Moultan cost Runjeet Singh 2,000 men. The Dewan Moolraj of Moultan has broken off all allegiance to the Lahore Government. M. Vans Agnew is shut up in a 'Gurree' with 500 men, and great fears are enter tained for his safety. The latest intelligence from Moul tan is to the 21st of April." The source of this statement in the Bombay Times is the Mofussilite of the 28th of April, which contains the following letter from Lahore on the subject : " There has been a fight between our politicals, at the head of the Khalsa troops, and the Moultanees, in which the former got thrashed. Vans Agne w w as frightfully wounded,—l believe cut to pieces. and Anderson also wounded. Deena Nauth went off from this at the head of his troops the night before last, to render his assis tance • and at the witching hour' of twelve last night we, the ' Flying Brigade,' viz., Artillery, Irregulars, her Majesty's Bth, 10th, 50th, and 73d Native Infantry Regi ments, received orders to be ready at an hour's warning. Report says that we start to-night, but nothing positive. " However, good bye for the present, as everybody is rushing about in the most frantic manner for camels, &c. You may depend on it that I'll keep you au courant of every movement, and sincerely hope that you may have to record lots of glorious deeds, which I think not at all improbable, as I believe that the Moultanee rebels consist of 20,000 determined fellows. The Nawaub of Moult= is with the unfortunate Vans Agnew's Party. _ "APRIL 25. " Regarding . Anderson's death, it is only a durbar report, no officio! communication has been received at the Residency." PARIS, SUNDAY. The demand for 100,000 t. a month by the Executive Commission is to be brought on to-morrow, and treated as a cabinet question. The committee is favourable to the Government, but great dissatisfaction has been et pressed at a meeting of 400 members at the conduct of the Administration. The National is also wavering. A bill for the exclusion of Louis Napoleon will be pre sented. There was another mob gathering last night, when the m ne i Nr i s it o a w r lee y closed rsesinthaadne a l l: the m or a e v re en g u im es e , and nt a swer n e lu o l i t i it t u i d ie e ir of ris w p ayto o 7 Paris. Letters of the 3d June attached to the head-quarters of the Sardinian army at Volta state that the Austrians had refused the battle which the King offered on that morning, and retired, as it was believed, into Mantua. The Sardinian army mustered in position in front of Goito at least 50,000 men. The Austrians did not exceed 35,000, perhaps not 30,000, but their lines were defended by hasty field works and intrenchments, which are all abandoned. The Prince of Prussia made his first appearance in public on the Bth, in the National Assembly. While an irregular discussion was going on, as to whether one of the bureaus should take a section of the constitution into consideration, or whether three members from each bu reau should sit as a committee to examine the whole plan, the speaker was interrupted by a loud shouting outside the hall. In a few moments afterwards the Prince of Prussia entered, to the great astonishment of all the de puties. Some members on the right rose to receive Ai . ; but from the left many voices called out, " Keep your seats." The Prince, who wore a general's uniform, took his seat on the front bench to the right of the President.'

One battalion of the 31st (Prussian) Regi ment succeeded in completely disarming two of the enemy's gun-boats, for they fired with so much precision that they killed th e crews consisting of 120 men. The number of killed and wounded on the German side is as yet unknown.
