Afternoon, Oh. 12m. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1853 THE resignation of Lord PALMERSTON, first an, nounced in Liverpool in the Second Edition of the NORTHERN DALLY TIMES of yesterday, appears to be but too true. Our London cotemporaries in the Government interest have shown such extreme anxiety to assure the public that the step has not been taken from any disapproval of the policy of the Cabinet on the Eastern question, that we are much inclined to believe, if it has not solely, it has mainly contributed to produce on the mind of Lord PALM ERSTON the positive pro priety of the course he has so unexpectedly adopted. We cannot believe that a man of his character and long experience in the service of the State would have allowed any minor consideration on matters which are to come on for public discussion to have induced him to take a stop which must inevitably produce great embarrassments in this country, and no small consternation abroad. If the Eastern question had nothing to do with Lord PALMERSRON'S retirement from the Cabinet, where was the necessity for the Government journals rushing out to explain away a doubt which had not been raised ? Over-zealous persons thus ge nerallyprove the fact they wish to disprove. And we do not hesitate to declare our firm conviction that the present state of things has been produced solely by the policy of Lord ABERDEEN on this very question. Our private correspondent in Lon don informs us that this opinion prevailed on the London Stock Exchange, and throughout the Me tropolis, and our experience of yesterday enables us to affirm that the same opinion was universal on the Liverpool 'Change, as well as that of Man chester. If Lord ABERDEEN continues to hold the position he now occupies, we see no reason to doubt but that each successive day will usher in some new difficulty and danger. The present position of the country will not admit any very prolonged state of suspense at this all-important crisis. England not only requires a perfectly united, but she must have a bold, vigorous and enlightened Cabinet, whose services may be relied on in perfect confidence by all classes of the community ; and this is not the moment for a Cabinet to be breaking up on minor details of a new scheme for internal reform , Our London advices of last night supply little a • -4 or,) i or no o n addition to that we have al ready jai before our readers. THE residriation of Lord PALMERSTON at this 17 ‘FTS critical moment, is a matter for serious reflection. On his reptitixtion, as a statesman, the ABERDEEN 11 1 1(4 AdministritiVa has received a degree of public supporVihieVit would not otherwise have obtained The extent to which we furnish the details of the intelligence by the Overland Mail, and the lateness of the hour at which it came to hand last night, compels us to hold over, until Monday, a "leading article" upon Life Insurance.

Founded on the Popular Poem by Mr. Roscoe, of Liverpool.— Admission—Dress Boxes, 45.; Upper Boxes, Is.; Pit, 25.; Gallery, Is. The Box-office is open from Ten to Three o'clock daily, for securing Seats and Liking Private Boxes, under the direction of Mr. T. Shuttleworth. Children in arms will not be admitted. Doors open at half-past Six, the performance to com mence at Seven o'clock precisely. defence In Lord ABERDEEN we have a profound systemist '. of a very ancient school—a man whose very nafure is opposed to progress of any kind. As the grave , draws nearer and nearer he folds his arms toge ther, and quietly consoles himself with the idea that this world is but a stage—life a dream, and all human efforts to improve the condition of our race = so much toil which will end in disappointment, if not in destruction. He is a man who has no gene t rous impulses —no depth of penetration to cheer and to guide him. He is too cold-hearted to be a philanthropist —he is too closely wedded to things past, and too much afraid of the future, for a states man in this age. To such a man all changes are alike. The dangers of educating the masses—the necessity of enlarging the franchise—the idea of a NAPOLEON reigning in France—the madness of attempt ing to cope with Russia—the folly of giving offence to Austria the propriety . of keeping Prussia on our hands—and, in fact, the sound policy of preserving a statu quo long since broken up by the commencement of a European war, are all matters so long, and so strongly impressed on Lord ABERDEEN'S mind, that it is impossible for him to grapple with the imminent peril in which this country has been placed. Again the Foreign Office is filled by a man who has never been tried on any great European question, and if we take his dispatches on the Eastern war as a specimen of his ability, they will appear to greater advantage by supposing a wasp to be a lion, and the schoolmas ter a good diplomatic scholar. Lord CLARENDON will be a plain Villiers as long as he lives. Lord JOHN RUSSELL is getting old; and as he devotes his time chiefly to keeping " finality" moving, if we should be fortunate enough to get another reform measure, which shall be as " final" as the others that have gone before it, we may think ourselves remarkably well off in the " finality" way. If we were much in need of a weather-cock to place over the post-office, or the top of a free-trade or a " corn and currency" monument, we have that incomprehensible quantity of consistency—Sir JAMES GRAHAM, whose life has been spent on a pivot. Such mortals are all very well in their way, but they fall immeasurably short of the statesman, whose acts enforce respect from their high moral and national character. In speaking of Lord PALMERSTON, we wish we could, with truth, point to every act of his public life with equal satisfaction. Still he was one of the few men in the present cabinet in whom the country has had that confidence which the ABER. DEEN Administration has enjoyed through a long season of almost unprecedented public anxiety• His official presence at the Court of St. James has materially helped to keep despotism in check, and to give confidence and stability to the consti- itional governments of Europe. And looking at _ _ the definite shape and intelligible course the Eastern question_ is now beginning to assume• Lord PALMERSTON'S presence in her Majesty's councils is perfectly indispensible. If the declaration of war by Russia against the Turks be true, the CZAR'S object becomes unmis- takeable at once. His views are to provoke a con= inental war, and to draw succour from the East, thus opposing despotism and barbarism to the civilisation of mankind. This, to Lord ABERDEEN'S mind, appears nothin g more than a natural sequence. In his high philosophic thought all things probable are possible, and there is no rule by which he can understand that a thing that has been once done cannot be repeated. Such men, we say it with much sober sadness, are only fit to preside over the destinies of Pompeii. The law of earthquakes is a delightful study for a scientific mind, but a war which threatens civilization is a matter-of-fact emergency, which leaves no time for long . research, but calls aloud, and at once, for the application of those positive powers, which are only of real service when promptly applied. The designs of the AUTOCRAT are now before the world, and the Constitutional States of Europe may be said to be on their trial. It is not enough that France and England should take the field. Bel. glum, Spain, Portugal, ah ! and Rome herself must throw the shield round humanity. To suffer the land of the KORAN to be given up to the Buddist and Hindoo, is not the course best suited to the spread of true religion, or rational freedom. In spiritual as well as temporal dominion, the AUTO CRAT of Russia disputes the right of ascendency with the world. The rights of spiritual sovereignty _ _ he claims for himself, and the doctrne of infalli bility he bestows on the Russian Eagle. His march is therefore, directed against the law and order of all Europe. How far he may progress in his work of blood depends on the earnestness with which we view the impending danger, and the alacrity with which constitutioual Europe moves in her own The slaughter of four thousand unoffending Turks is a foul plot on the history of that policy which has restrained all expression of the manly and religious feeling of this and other countries, whose very existence is threatened by Russian successes. We were the first among the few British nespapers thati have ventured to expose the political recklessness, and the absence of all sound morality in dealing with the murderous details of this impious war. Already upwards of ten thousand souls have been blown into eternity by the slaves of a monster, who goes forth like a robber and a murderer in the night to slaughter, rob, and ... spread desolation among a nation whose existence retards the accomplishment of his dreams of still more revolting bloodshed. It may be premature to predict the fate of such workers of destruction ; but those whose minds are mpressed with the justice of a mercy-loving GOD HEAD, must look with feelings bordering on confi denco, that the race of the destroyers of mankind will draw down upon their own heads the fearfu retribution their deeds invoke. If Lord PALMERSTON should take the helm once more, we believe the AUTOCRAT will have but little reason, to rejoice at such a change in the Cabinet of Great Britain. [ADVERTISEMENT.) FEENEY'S MERCHANTS' NEW DINING Rooms, SLATER COURT, SOUTH CASTLE-STREET.-Mr. Feeney, at the close of the first week of his operations at his new establishment, begs most gratefully to acknowledge the truly unexampled support he has met with from his friends and patrons, and which has far exceeded his expectations. But whilst thus conveying his thanks for the encouragement he has received, he feels that he is also indebted to those who have favoured the new rooms with a visit, for the forbearance and kind con sideration they have shown in making allowance for any in advertencies or omissions which necessarily arise in the working of a new establishment, and have been rendered still more unavoidable by the great influx of patrons . during the week. The kitchen range has been found too small to supply with the necessary rapidity and completeness the demands of the numerous customers who have favoured the new Dining Rooms with a trial, but Mr. Feeny has the satisfaction to announce that prompt measures are being taken to obviate every deficiency; and whilst request ing the indulgence of his friends, he hopes that in a short time the experience of the first few days will enable him to render the Merchants' new Dining Rooms perfect in every respect.

LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY EVENING. From India and China we have received our usual advices by the Overland Mail. Calcutta, Nov. 26, Bombay, Nov. 27, and China, October 27. India was quiet, with the exception of Burmah, where some rioting had taken place. The religious holidays having terminated, trade at Calcutta was beginning to improve, but at Bombay it was dull. The cholera had broken out in the Presidency, and was reported to be on the increase. The mone tary position Of India generally was most pros perous. A Gazette extraordinary notifies that the Company intended to pay off a further portion of the Five per Cent Loans, or commute the interest thereon to 4 per cent., and of their having opened a new loan at 3f per cent. interest. The paying off the remaining portion of the loan, it was ex pected, would soon follow. Another notice inti mated that no claim for transfer of notes of the 5 per cent. Sicca Loans into the 4 per cent. loan of 1842-3 would be admitted after the 28th ult. These official announcements caused an advance in most descriptions of Government Securities and Joint Stock Bank Shares. The advices from China give no intelligence from Shanghae. The civil war was still raging. Hos tilities were going on at Amoy and other places, but from the confused and partial ac counts furnished to the several local papers, it is impossible to know upon which side the advantage lies. Commercial accounts from Canton state that cotton had advanced, and confidence seemed to be returning. The exports of tea had been moderate. The West India mail steamer La Plata arrived at Southampton on Thursday night with 630,000 dollars in Specie. From Jamaica we learn that the legislature had been occupied in discussing the import duty bill. The passing of the bill, which had been postponed in order to give the members an opportunity of determining what rates of duties would be most advisable, had been effected by the Assembly and had been sent to the council, by which it was also adopted : " Upon a comparison of the rates imposed by the act which expired in April last, with those in the bill which has just passed the two branches of the legislature, it will be found that reductions have been made in those, upon the following articles :—Beef,. clocka and watches, drugs, pre served fish in tin cases, jewellery, preserved meat, salted meat, oil, perfumery, plate gold and silver, pork, preserved provisions, rice, soup in tin cases, spirits and cordials, tobacco manufactured and uumanufactured, tongues, pre served vegetables, wheat and wines. The duty upon beef, pork, tongues, and salted meat, which was 20s. per barrel, has been reduced to 10s. ; upon brandy, which was Bs., to 4s. per gallon ; upon gin and whiskey, which was 65., to 3s. ; upon other spirits and cordials, which was 65., to 4s. ; upon rice, which was 35., to 2s. ; upon tobacco, which was £2O and £l5 ad valorem, and 3d. to ld. on each lb. weight to 2d. per lb. on manufactured and ld. on un manufactured ; upon segars, which was 301. ad valorem, and 6d. on each pound weight, 0 Is. on each pound weight ; upon wines, which was 101. per ton, and 15/. ad valorem, to 10/. per ton; upon preserved vegetables, soup, provisions, meat, and fish in tin cases. which was 61 ad valorem, to 41 ad valorem—upon perfumery, gold and silver plate, jewellery, and clocks, and watches, which was 1 0 /. ad valorem to 41 ad valorem — upon oils and drugs which was Si. ad valorem, to 41. ad valorem—and upon wheat, which was 6d. per bushel to three pence." The Trinidad accounts state : (c Our merchants and planters are preparing them selves for the next crop, which to all appearances will be very plentiful. But the market is almost bare of ne cessary supplies for the planters. Five or six cargoes of lumber, and two or three of shooks and staves, would meet with immediate sale at high prices. Our lumber yards are empty, and white pine boards sold during this week as high as forty dollars per thousand (retail). With splendid forests in the island, it is an anomaly to remain dependent for a supply of lumber, staves, shingles, and hoops, upon importations from North America. There is neither want of the raw material nor of the necessary labour to work two or three saw-mills. But the entire industrial force, (intelligence,. capital, and labour) of the island, is at present absorbed in the production of sugar and cocoa. we leave out of sight that the cosh of producing our staple articles is not only dependent upon obtaining cheap field labour, but also upon obtaining cheap supplies of those articles which are necessary to the manufacture and trans port of our staples. "Field labour has been reduced to its minimum price by the importation of Asiatic labourers ; but whatever savings are effected by the planters on this item are likely to be absorbed by the extravagant high prices which they will have to pay for supplies from abroad." The Liverpool Cotton Market closes much the b y 3 x 5 eP 9 o l r o te h r a s v , b same as yesterday. The bu s i ness o f th e wee k takenamounts b y to t e 52 trade , ,7oO bales, and ofwhich 2,410 have been speculators have operated to the extent of 15,860 bales. The variations in prices during the week have not been material. At the Liverpool Corn Exchange there was a good business done in wheat at an advance of from 2d. to 3d. per bushel above Tuesday's rates, whilst flour was fully 6d. per barrel dearer Indian corn was held firmly at an advance of from 6d. to ls., but the business done was not considerable. We learn from Egypt, that at Alexandria on the 3rd instant, the stock of grain proved greater than had been expected, and though the export was still limited to the stocks held by merchants, there was no apprehension of any difficulty to fill the vessels. Our letters say, wheat is now at fully 395. per quarter free on board, and beans 355. per qr. On the other hand owing to the numerous arrivals, freights have receded to lls. 6d. per qr., and there are at present 60 vessels in port taking in cargoes, of which 40 are for England We also learn that there are 1,500 vessels, corn laden, weather bound in the Bosphorus. many of which are bound to this country. The Liverpool Stock market was tolerably buoy ant throughout the day, and a fair amount of busi ness was done at steady prices. The Manchester Stock Market was active again to-day, and a fair amount of business was trans acted in Caledonians at 28i; East Lancashire, 164; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 68-k ; ditto Fifths, 62; Sheffield, 251; Midlands, 648 to 64 ; North British, 88 ; North Stafford, 5k dis.; Dovers, 198.

The fol lowing are the closing quotations :—Leeds Northern, 154; Caledonians, 28 ; Sheffield, 25*; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 67b; North-Westerns, 88. The London Produce Markets present a healthy aspect. Sugar has been in steady request. In coffee there has been a slight advance, principally for Native Ceylon. Tallow has been active at fuller prices. Cotton is dull. Tea has slightly declined. Rum has been more inquired for. Iron is at steady rates. The London Stock market was better to-day not withstanding the resignation of Lord Palmerston, and threatened dissolution of the Aberdeen Cabi• - net.

By her we have advices from Trinidad to 25th Jamaica 27th ult., St. Thomas Dec. 1. She brings fifty passengers and six hundred and twenty-nine thousand nine hundred and forty two dollars in specie. The Jamaica House of Assembly have passed the Import Duty Bill. The island is healthy. Exchanges, Colonial Bank ninety days, one per cent premium. Jamaica Bank ninety days half per cent premium: Since then we have received the following addi tional intelligence respecting the rival Republics: INSURRECTION IN PERU. SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY.—We learn from ad vices from the south-western coast of America that an insurrection had taken place in the north of Peru ; the Peruvian territory had been invaded also by the Bolivian army, headed by General Belzu. The Peruvian President has resolved to take the field against the Bolivians. The position of the Peruvian government was critical. ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS. At Jamaica the House of Assembly was in session, and had passed the Import Duty Bill, with some important reductions in the tariff. A . great struggle took place relative to the duration clause of this bill, which the retrenchment party wished to limit to the 30th of June, but after several divi sions, it was carried by a majority of one, to extend its duration to the 30th of December, 1854. The question of responsible government was fixed for debate on Wednesday the 30th, when it was con templated the government views would be carried out,. and the guaranteed loan accepted, as all parties were tired out and disgusted with the "dead lock." A return made to the House of Assembly by the Receiver General, showed a deficiency of revenue of. 200,0001. up to January quarter, which would have to be added to the debt of the country, as it could never be met by taxation. The ranks of the retrenchment party were gradually thinning, and going over the other side, in the expectation as it was supposed, of sharing in the appointments under the new constitution. The weather was seasonable, and good crops were expected in 1854. In political affairs in Jamaica the dead lock had at last been removed, and the different branches of the Legislature were working harmoniously together, with some prospects of a continuance of this favourable change. The island was healthy, and heavy rains had fallen. The House of Assem bly had abandoned their intention of levying an assize duty on spirits, owing to the probable diffi culties of collection. In commercial matters not much business had been done during.the. last fortnight, although the market had been. better supplied. The stock of corn was moderate. Little doing in flour. In soap, owing to the high rates demanded, little had been done. Sugar was plentiful, but sold slowly. Iu gold, owing to the enhanced value of American, no premium could be obtained.

At Antigua heavy rains had prevailed, but the island was generally healthy, There were a few cases of fever at Jamaica and Trinidad, but the other isles were apparently clear of the scourge. At Jamaica,. H.M.S. Imaunt, was the only ship of war, but Admiral Seymour was hourly expected. At St. Lucia H.M.S. Megcera. At St. Thomas's, the French man-of-war steamer, Acheron, from St. Domingo. There had been a_ few cases of fever at Jamaica, and Trinidad, but the rest of the islands were en tirely cleared of the scourge. In St. Lucia some improvement had taken place in the weather, but the fall of rain had been un precedented; the roads throughout the island were in a bad condition, and cut up by the floods. In Martinique, sugar•making had commenced. The Trinidad papers state that an ordinance had appeared fixing a new tariff of import duties. Heavy rains had fallen in Grenada. Via Panama we have dates from Valparaiso to the Ist, and Callao to the 11th November. The Bolivian army in the south has passed the frontier into Peru, headed by General Belzu ; the Peruvian villagers fled before him. The war be tween Bolivia and Peru has therefore commenced in earnest. By way of Panama - we have dates from Mel bourne to the 23rd, and Sydney to the 16th of Sep temberse aThe bi• o u n g e h w t s n i p s t a o n ti Callao cip at e d b y b t h y e the G e m s t e of a m t e h r e Victoria. Accounts from Honduras state that the govern ment of the United States was negociating with the President of that State for the cession and purchase of the island of Tigre, on the Pacific coast. THE OVERLAND MAIL. We have received our dispatches by the Over.. land Mail, via Trieste. The dates are, from Bom bay to the 15th of Nov., and Hong Kong to the 27th October. We extract the following summary of news from the Bombay Times : " The latest accounts we have from Burmah are up to the 23rd ultimo; they still represent the country in a state of anarchy and confusion. Several daring dacoities had taken place, and, whether justly or not, the king of Ava seems by general consent to be looked upon as responsible for them. Captains Latter and Smith, commissioners respectively of Prome and Sarawah, have been engaged with the dacoits. The former officer, on the 14th September last, received im portant dispatches by the steamer .Medusa, at Prom, and at once proceeded up in her ; he found that the dacoits had taken possession of a village below Meyaday, and had driven the unfortunate inhabitants into the jungle ; he, therefore, returned to Prome, from whence he took troops, and after inflicting severe punishment on the dacoits, completely cleared the village of them. In the conflict the no torious Meah Toon was desperately wounded, and he has been conveyed in a litter, it is said to Ava; so thut for a time, at all events, the country is freed from his raids. During the time Captain Latter was accomplishing these events in the district of Prome, of which he is commissioner, Captain Smith was also actively engaged in the district of Sarawah. Gaining information from a spy that a body of dacoits had arrived at Kanoung headed by their leaders, whose euphonious names are Moung Koung Gyee and Nga Shoay Maik, alias Myoo Ouk, he set out accompanied by a number of Burmese, who had volunteered for the occasion, and the upshot of the affair was, that the first of these leaders was captured and hanged, whilst the latter absconded; nor did this deceit leader find it an easy matter to elude the vigilance of his foes; for flying from the Sarawah distric; he unguardedly entered that of Prome, where Captain Latter, hearing of his arrival, hotly pursued him; thus in avoiding one enemy he very nearly ran into the hands of another, and although his capture was not effected, his followers were completely routed, and their leader himself is now concealed (not for long) at some place in Martaban. The results of these successful operations are, that the districts of both Prome and Sarawah are now peaceful, that trade has new vigour given to it, and that merchants and boats can proceed from Rangoon, up and down the river without much fear of molestation. The two Roman Catholic priests who, as we mentioned in our last summary, had arrived at Rangoon confirm the report of Meah Toon's being received at Ava, and protected by the king ; they were also the bearers of a message from the Monarch of the Golden Foot, soliciting permission for his being allowed to send three white elephants to Rangoon, with offerings to Shoey-dagon ; but Captain Phayre, to , whom the request was preferred, feared the influence the animals would undoubtedly exercise on the minds of the superstitious Burmese, who firmly be!ieve that the sacred elephant is the source from whence power is derived, and that the animal's presence is only necessary to ensure the success of any undertaking his worshippers may embark in; and so the gallant captain, not liking to refuse in dis tinct terms the request of the monarch, replied, that on condition of the Frenchman d'Oorguny being given up to him by the Ava government, he would have no objection to the advent of the royal elephants ; of course the government will not think of parting with their drill-master, upon whom it' seems they have set a most extravagant value, and Captain Phayre knowing this has availed himself of the knowledge to virtually refuse the permission solicited; the name of one of the Jesuits is Abona, and in addition to the request en trusted to him relative to the elephants, he is also commis sioned to prevail upon us to save the king of Ava the disgrace in the eyes of his subjects, of losing Pegu, by agreeing to give him back the territory for 15 crores of rupees, which sum, though covenanting to pay, the King would not liquidate, and the country would then become ours, quasi in default of payment. The details of the disturbance which took place in the gaol of Rangoon on the 18th ultim o , an d w hi c h we could only briefly allude to in our last overland edition, have since come to hand. About sunset the convicts seized upon the muskets of the sepoys, which were piled, and h av i ng pos sessed themselves of the weapons, quietly walked out of the gaol, to the considerable astonishment of the guard, who saw their muskets with bayonets fixed carried off before their eyes. The convicts made, half of them for the river side, and half for an old burial ground, and although heavily ironed, malliuch good way that thi line guards, who 11 this time turned out in pursuit,Totild not head them, particulatitts the convicts toojia narrow road lying between two swamps more than knee-deep in mud. In this state of things, the guards had nothing for it but to fire at the mutineers as they were seen running away, and the Peons and Chuprassies cut down all they came up with , the result was, that out of about 132 prisoners, 13 were killed, 43 were wounded severely, 15 got clear away, and the remainder were re-captured ; so severe were the wounds inflicted that it is said, all the doctors in the place were employed the whole of the next day in taking off legs and arms. It is also reported that simultaneously with this emeute, another took place in the gaol at Bassein. We have to announce the death of general Godwin, C. 8., at Simla, on the 26th ultimo. From the north-west we learn, although of course we cannot vouch for the accuracy of the information, that the Sirdar of Herat had allied himself with the chiefs of Cabul and Orgunj, and that a son of Dost Mahomed had put himself in possession of Kelat-i-Ghilzee. It is also stated that the Candahar chiefs are proceeding against Kelat, where, up to the latest date, no force had been collected. The commi sioner in Scinde is said to have received dispatches from our old ally the Khan, and it is generally supposed that 'there is something in the wind's eye.' As we said before, we by no means wish to be understood as placing implicit reliance on all the wars and rumours of wars which are just now talked of in India. What with the ex pected third Burmese war ; the reports of the wide-spread conspiracy that caused, at nearly the same moment, the murder of Colonel Mackeson, the projectedseizure of Rawul Pindee, and the attempted assassination of the resident at Lucknow, &c., one would imagine that we were on the eve of a hot war, whereas the fact is, that, barring repo r t s , India never enjoyed more t r a nqu illity than at present. Major Herbert Edwardes, C. 8., has been appointed to suc ceed the late Colonel Mackeson, as commissioner and super intendent of Peshawur. The meeting at Umsitser for the suppression of infanticide in the provinces subject to the ad minstration of the Panjab, was held on the 28th, and 29th, and 31st ultimo. Full details have not reached us as yet, and we are therefore precluded from saying more than that there seems every reason to suppose that infantcide will in the Punjab, be shortly numbered amongst the things that were. The camp of the commander-in-chief moved from ICalka at the commencement of this ;month, and on the 18th will be at Delhi, from whence it proceeds to Agra visiting Meerut en route. We regre t t o s t a t e t h at our obituary in cluded Sir Theophilus Metcalfe, the commissioner at Delhi, who died on the Sd instant. We also regret to state that the cholera has made its appearance in Bombay, and up to this date the deaths have been 275. As in England, so here, the majority of deaths occur in the most neglected districts; thus at Omercarry u :an undrained and particularly dirty vil lage, more than two-thirds of the above number of deaths occurred. Bodies of troops are now on their way to Poona to form Lord F. Fitzclarence's military camp, and prepara tions for reviews, field-days, &c., are afoot. The order for a 3d European regiment to be added to each of the Presi dencies has given, it is needless to observe, general satisfac tion. A meeting of the shareholders of the Commercial Bank of India was held on the 9th instant, to confirm and adopt certain resolutions passed at the meeting of that com pany held on the 17th ultimo, when it was determined to increase the capital of the company, and to alter the cla use in the deed of s e ttl emen t , which debarred any one person from holding more than 300 shares on his own account. Resolutions were passed, which, for carrying out the first of these objects, determined, that one new share for every three old ones be issued, thus increasing the amount of capital one-third ; and for the latter that the words six hundred be substituted for three hundred. The meeting then broke up We are sorry to add that the state of trade in our local market is not very encouraging, and that there does not seem any immediate prospect of improvement. The following report on the state of the Indian exchequer is taken from the Bengal Hurkaru of the Ist November : " About two months ago we gave a rough sketch of the total amount paid into the several treasuries towards the Four per Cent. Loan. As anticipated, a notification shortly afterwards issued, announcing the closing of the Four per Cent. Loan, and this has been followed by a Gazette Extra ordinary on Friday evening, containing the following three most important notifications : " 1. That no further transfers of the Five pet Cent. Sicca Loans into the Four per Cent. Debt will be allowed after the 28th November next. dat ' e ‘ 2. the That 3o t h a 1l of notes ece o t, f lhwBe t t h ul3 e ,ob F ft orh i no e f dischargedp Njerao January ul e a n ,ry t 0 . aoLllolhont the Generale b h bearing. g t number T reasury on the or register, having the option of transferring the amount into a new 4 per cent. loan. And " ' The opening of a new loan, bearing interest at the rate rate of 32 per cent. per annum.' " The effect of these measures is, that the interest on the debt of the East India Company is virtually reduced to the rate of only 4 per cent., and that a large portion of tne amount payable for the Sicca Five per Cents., the transfer of which has not yet been effected, will sec im uz : i a at s e a ly vin b g e converted into 4 per cent., or if there be no time for doing so th. ebTefhorreect-haend!aButhaiNf per Cent. tthoeanp,roecspeeedcias willespecially as flow that e will enable holders to discount their notes at the Bank of Bengal at 3 per cent, per annum, thereby of half per cent. per annum for the period interveni ng be tween this and the 30th of January next. The probable re sult of these reductions is obvious. So far from any heavy calls being likely to be made for cash, holders generally will be too glad to accept of 4 per cent. paper, whilst a portion of the surplus cash will eventually flow into the 31 per cent. loan. " That these measures on the part of Government have been accelerated by the almost unprecedented prosperity of the public exchequer no one can entertain any doubt, for no state would venture upon so dangerous an experiment with out perfect reliance upon the infallibility of its financial calculations. Viewing the above announcements merely as an effect of those reactions which periodically occur in the finances of governments it hardly requires ' any further comment; but looking upon them in connection with the increasing demand for capital at home, the high rates of interest and discount in the world's money market, the in creasing exportation of bullion from this country to China and other places, and with the present state of exchange on England so favorable to remitters, they afford an un mistakeable index of the financial position and stability of the British Indian Government." COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. STATE OF THE BOMBAY MARKETS, FROM THE 28th OCTOBER TO THE 13th NOVEMBER. • The leading event in the Money Market during the past fortnight has been the notification by the East India Company of their inten tion to pay off the further portion of their 5 per cent. loans, or com mute the interest thereon to 4 per cent. and of their having opened a new loan at 3a per cent, interest. Thefirst of these measures has been expected for some time, it being well known that the operations for payment or transfer of the 5 per cent. transfer loan and the 5 per cent. Sicca Loans of 1825-26 and 1829-30 in July and September last have been eminently successful. There can be no doubt that the remaining portion of the Loan of 1841-42 will soon follow, and then the 5 per cent. will cease to be known as a Government rate of interest in India Another notice intimates that no ciaim for trans fer of notes of the 5 per cent. Sicca Loan into the 4 per cent. loan of 1842-43 will be admitted after the Oth inst. This step will oblige holders to take payments in cash, a considerable portion of which will probably find its way into the new 3i per cent. Loan of 1854. As might be expected, the effect of these notices has been a rise in most descriptions of Government securities and Joint-stock Bank shares, which, previous to their publication, had been exhibiting a downward tendency. The Oriental Bank Corporation has declared a dividend of 12 per cent. per annum. Th, business done since the date of our last report has been very small, and at present we are sorry to say there does not seem any immediate prospect of improvement. Gray Shirting, 49-inch, of the lighter descriptions, have slightly improved in value, while Lle heavier goods remain without change; 45-inch has slightly d in value. Gray Long Cloth in fair enquiry at a slight advance, which may probably be maintained unless sales are pressed. Gray T. Clothes arc much neglected, and no inquiry exists for up-country use. Gray Domestics are dull and neglected, and have somewhat further receded in value : short widths, however, remain steady at the rates formerly quoted. Gray Al adapollams remain steady at the rates quoted in our last report. Gray Jacconets In request; the prices last quoted are steadily maintained. Grey Cambric, remain without change. grey Twills still remain dull and depressed. Bleached Shirtings, of the lowest descriptions, in fair inquiry, the finer qualities are very dull. Bleached Madepollams—The same remark applies. Bleached Jacconets dull. Lappets and lappet scarfs remain without change. Dhoties, grey and bieached, are as last quoted. Book Muslin,i —ln these also we have no change to notice. Dimity likewise remains as last reported on. Turkey Red Cambrics, twills, mulls, and dimity, are without mate rial change. Coloured Mulls are saleable at our last quotations. Twist, both mule and water, are still without any improvement in value. Metals continue to maintain their value, and in request.

Cochineal-2r 2ia to 2r 3a per lb. Saffron, of the beat description, in request at 13r to lbr per lb. Cotton— A ft er a vigorous effort attempted by the holders to main tain prices, the bad accounts of both the China and English markets have at length caused them to give way, and previous to the arrival of the last mail from England Broach cotton was bought at 94ir to 95ir. Dhollera cotton at War, since which time no transactions have tran spired, but we believe that 2r to 3r per candy would now be ac cepted below the prices given ; the staple will cost, free on board, including freight to Liverpool, and marine insurance, 4d. and 3id per lb. Linseed—Continues to be contracted for delivery in December and January, at 3r Ila to 3r 12a per cwt, and since last advices from England even higher prices are demanded. but none of the seed has yet arrived at this port. Pepper is scarce, that from Malabar is worth 73r, and from Bhut cole 75r per candy. Coffee is to be hau at 23r to lOr per maund. Exchange on England, owing to the few sales of goods effected, has been in little request, and although a small amount of bills are on the market, still the rate has advanced; the Commercial Bank has drawn at 2s. 13-10 d. per rupee at six months' sight. Baring Brothers' credit sold at 2s. 1 5-16 d. to 2s. 1 6-16 ~ and best local drafts at 2s. sad. to 2s lid per rupee. Exchange on Calcutta is at gar for Calcutta 100 r, and on China nominal at 240 r per 100 dollars, at 60 days' sight.
