Canton was threatened and will probably change hands beftre the dis patch of the next mail. The Tartar invasion of China begins to be talked of. H. M. steamer Hermes was ordered to bring down the survivors of the wrecked ship, Lady Evelyn, bound to California. There were twenty six Chinese and six Europeans ; about 240 perished. Trade in China still depressed. EGYPT.—ALEXANDRIA, 19TH. Grain had fallen and risen Bs. to 10s. a quarter, and prices wore on the rise, in consequence of exports being limited. Freights, 13s. Exchange, 100. ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS. We have received our dispatches from India and China by the Overland Mail. The dates are—Cal cutta, Oct. 20 ; Madras, 24; Hong-Kong, 11; Sin gapore, 18 ; Bombay, 28 ; and Burmah, 8. The following is the summary of the Bombay Times : We are in the receipt of intelligence from Bur mah up to the Bth instant, and although there is not much iu the shape of news to be detailed, yet the atrocities by the dacoits had not diminished. It is supposed by those most capable of forming a correct judgment, that as soon as the waters of the Irrawaddy fall, the Burmese will take advantage of the subsidence and attack us in force. The real ruler at Ava is the prime minister, the brother of the King, and neither he nor his party make, it is said, any disguise of their hostile intentions. One of the causes alleged for the immense increase of dacoits in the neighbourhood of Pegu is, that the last harvest of the ryots was not gathered in con sequence of our presence, and that therefore these poor people have been driven ex necessitate to plun der. It is a pity if such be the case, but it is cheer ing to know that next season will remedy it. The two Jesuits who were associated with the Burmese commissioners in the conferences held atProme for the signing of the treaty have arrived at Rangoon. Their statements confirm all that has been hitherto alleged regarding matters at Ava. The King is surrounde by a war party, so powerful as to de prive him of independent action, and a tacit consent has been wrung from him to permit hostilities to be renewed with us ; consequently warlike prepa rations are being carried on extensively at Ava, and December or'January next is the period fixed upon to attack us. The ministers state that by that time the Irrawaddy will be too low to admit of large steamers navigating it, and that without their aid the British forces cannot cope with the Burmese. Sir John Cheape will evidently soon have an oppor tunity of distinguishing himself. The French cap tain, D'Oorguny, is still employed drilling the Burmese. Latest accounts mention that a serious disturbance has broken out in the gaol at Ran goon, but particulars have not yet been received. The murderer of Colonel Mackeson was hung at Peshawur on the Ist inst., and his body afterwards burned, the ashes being thrown into a dirty water course. The murderer himself remained silent, has implicated no one, and laughed and joked with his guards to the latest moment of his life. Matters on our north-west frontier still continue portentous, and troops have been moved to Pe shawur; there has, however, been as yet no open demonstration, but the want of organisation, and of a leader whom they all can recognise, alone form the grave objections to the hill tribes taking the initiative. Reports of an intended disturbance were rife at Rawul Pindee, and great fears seem to have been entertained of an outbreak ; of course the plunder of the cantonment was the fons et origo of the intended incursion, but the capture of Nadir Khan, the leader of the insurgents, reassured the timid, and convinced them that there was nothing to fear, and as troops have since been withdrawn from the cantonments, we may reasonably con clude that all is quiet, at least for the present. It is said, however, that the Governor-General has expressed himself very warmly regarding the mea sures adopted in the north-west, whiCh he con siders to have excited needless alarm, and that he has administered a " wigging" to the authorities of Peshawur. Mr. John Colvin, late judge of the Sudder Adaw lut and commissioner for the Tenasserim provinces, has been appointed lieutenant-governor of the north west provinces, in the place of the late Mr. Thomason. Some disturbances have taken place in Allyghur, Moradabad, &c. &c., attended with slight loss of life. The intelligence of the death of Sir Charles Napier has been received with general sorrow in India, although from previous reports all were prepared for the sad announcement; a spe cial meeting has been hell at Kurrachee, presided over by Mr. Frere, the commissioner in Scinde, for the purpose of taking into consideration the best means of recording the estimation in which the late general was held. Her Majesty's Bth regi • ment has been traucferred to the Bengal establish lishment, and ordered to proceed to Agra. The troops of the horse artillery hare, been ordered to stand fast until next year, so that the reiiek.., ordered by Sir Frederick Fitzclarence will not take plite,o in this particular branch of the service. There is also a rumour that her Majesty's 64th foot is to Proceed to Peshawur. His excellency the commander-in-chief holds his military camp at Poena, ala Chobham, next month. The new mer cantile bank gets on flourishingly. Meer Jaffer Ali Khan, son-in-law of the late Nawab of Surat, goes to England this day to support his claims against an alleged unjust division of the property of the late Nawab of Surat. Trade is slack, but the money market is easy. THE WAR IN BURMAH. Our correspondent writes on the ono- "---"L • It is i taw Bang of Burmah had pu vfo - death, and his eldest son placed in durance—they being all for war with us ; and that the younger son, a man of peace, had been placed on the throne. These reports do not seem to be worth much either way. The country continued to be overrun with dacoits, and the people oppres sed thereby to desperation. Of the 150 prisoners who escaped from the gaol at Kyoung, near Ran goon, some one third had been retaken. Daring attempts at robbery had been made in Rangoon ; and executions of dacoits were of frequent occur rence. Nearly the whole of Prome had been inundated by the river, and boats had to be used for several days. The pay of the troops was much in arrear at Prome, and loud complaints were being made. Lieut, Miasey had quite recovered from his wounds. The Rangoon Chronicle of the Bth inst. says ; The burden of the intelligence from the stations up the river, brought by the Nerbuddah, is still the dacoits. The village of Thako, between Myeeaday and Promo, was attacked and plundered by these marauding villains; whereupon Sir John Cheap detached a company of her majesty's 51st L. 1., and two companies of the 35th Madras N. 1., to its protection. They were conveyed up there by the Damoodah, which seems to have had some active work cut for her during the past month, having made three trips to Myeeaday since the 14th of last month. This account proceeds to detail the dispositions for the attack—the fight and the route of the dacoits, and execution of their leader. We have heard of a gallant affair between a cutter of the Enterprise, under midshipman Rean, and five loungs of dacoits. The steamer Queen has returned from the Per sian Gulf, but nothing in the shape of news seems to have been received by her. Something of importance was, I am told, looked for by the Persian community here, as to the attitude the Shah would assume in the event of Russia actually declaring war against Turkey. One of their num ber remarked to a European gentleman, to whom he was talking :—" It is all well for the Padishah to pretend to side with Russia; but, as a Mahom etan, he dare not fight against Mahometans, and if war does break out the Persians will, as a matter of course, be found on the side of the Turks." CHINA. HONG KONG, OCT. 11.-Our correspondent writes : The news carried by the mail leaving to-day is not of much interest as far as incidents and occur• rences are concerned, since we are no better in formed of the progress of the rebellion than at the departure of the previous mail. But that the re bellion more than holds its own is a great fact, and the negative news conveyed by the present outgoing steamer is a great fact demonstrative of the advance of free opinions. From Shanghai we learn that the place is still in the hands of the Triad gentry, who were bartering with the impe rialists for evacuating the place, upon the latter paying them a large sum of money. The insur gents or patriots at Nanking have discountenanced the proceedings of the Shanghai triadists, and ac cording to the North China Herald, the latter con sist of a regular set of ragamuffins, who are disap-. pointed in their expected plunder of the city. If the imperial forces make any bold attempt they will carry the city, and put the rebels to flight, but such is the apathy and indifference of the imperial authorities, that no faith is placed in their vaunted attacks. At Amoy matters were much the same. Several fights had taken place, but the firing from the imperial junks was so ill managed that no suc cess appears ,to be hoped for. In the meantime trade is altogether at a stand, with no present pros pect of matters taking a favourable turn. At Canton all was quiet, but expectations were general that this quiescent state will not long con tinue, there being general: apprehensions that the ill-disposed will seize an early opportunity to plun der and rapine. Business continues but on a limited scale, and very sluggish for all kinds of goods. Sir George Bonham has been to Canton, with the view (it is said) of personally acquainting himself of the state of affairs, but nothing has tran spired respecting his visit, The Overland Friend of China says : At Shanghai the aspect of affairs is very bad. Since we were informed that on the eighth day af ter the capture of the place the rebel leader hoisted the flag of the Nanking dynasty, and it was sup posed that " the leader had been waiting for per mission from Nanking" before so hoisting it, it has become known that the Nanking rulers will not promise to accord to the party in possession of Shanghai any kind of support, and have intimated that, as they have acted hitherto on their own re sponsibility, so must they continue to Jo so, and be prepared to give up possession (if able to keep it) directly the Tae-ping Wang resolves on its occupa tion by his officers. This having become known to the general commanding the large body of impe rialist troops encamped between Chinkeang-foo and Nanking, he has valiantly resolved on doing his best to get Shanghai again under the control of his royal master. If money can be raised, it is not im probable that he will attempt to buy such posses sion; but money is a scarce commodity with the imperialists, and it is more than likely that there will be some fighting, and, in the prospect of an evacuation, a ransack before Shanghai's custom house is again superintended by the Taoutae Woo. From Ningpo, the next consular port south of Shanghai, the news is very threatening, the coun try all around, by advices to the 20th ult., being in a disturbed state, and a rising daily expected. Anioy is still in possession of the rebels, and likely to remain so, although their ill-equipped fleet, it is probable, will be destroyed in detail by their opponents. The possession of the wate r frontage, hoWever, is not possession of the town, and there are but few prospects of an early re sumption of the usual trade of the place. The island of Formosa is also the theatre of an insurrection. Between Canton and Hong Kong there is still continued fighting. A gentleman, who a few days ago received some reliable intelligence from the disturbed districts, informed us that the rebellious feeling was increas ing rapidly—that the people of That-sing, a place near the Bogue, with 10,000 inhabitants, had sur prised a large village, and had killed and wounded a good many people. A story is told of a rebel who, having killed an imperialist soldier, dressed himself in his coat, to which he had added some buttons that were want ing, and went into the imperialist camp to ask for some ammunition. But the wretch having sewn on one more button than the regulation allowance, was found out and decapitated instantly. In Canton all is at present quiet. The period for northerly winds and incendiary fires, however, had commenced—that period which the peaceably disposed inhabitants have so much reason to dread. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. BOMBAY, October 27. —We have little change to notiee in the state of our money market since the date of our last report. Money still continues easy, and the accounts re ceived from China by the last mail have for the present given a check to the large shipments of bullion that have been going forward to that market during the last two or three months. In joint-stock shares and government securities fecal transactions are taking place —the near ap proach of the Dewallee holidays interfering with business. Present quotations are as under :—Government five per cent. loan of 1841-42. rs. 1031 per 100 ; government four per cent loan of 1832-33, 1082 per 100 siccas ; government four per cent. loan of 1835-36, 1021 to 2 per 100 ; govern mens four per cent. loan of 1842-43, 1021 to I per 100; bank of Bombay shares, 391 to 40 per cent. prem ; Oriental bank corporation, 93 to 94 per cent. prem. ; commercial 31 to 32 per cent. prem. ; Agra bank, 48 to 50 per cent. prem. Since the date of our last report business done has been extremely limited. After the Dewallee holidays, which occur immediately, it is confidently expected that there will, however, be a greater activity developed than has of late existed. Cotton has at length given way in price, owing to the discouraging accounts received of its value both in the China and English markets, and purchases have been made of Broach cotton at rs. 100 and 101, and of Dholerah at 931 to 951 per candy, with prospect of a still greater decline, although contracts have been made for the delivery of new Dholerati t..ttno in April next at rs. 941 to rs. 951 per candy. In other produuL. wa hear of little or nothing doing. Freights have been pretty steadily maintained to Liv,r pool at £2 15s. to £2 17s. 6d,. till within the last few days, when the arrival of several large vessels from Australia gave a check, so that we cannot quote higher than £2 12s. for vessels commenced loading, and £2 15s. per ton for vessels nearly ready for sea to Liverpool and London. To China there is nothing doing, the rate is nominally rs. 12 per candy. E xc h anm , nab ruled pretty steady, at 2s. 14d. pm rupee, at six months' sight, for b!st bills. Lately an attempt has been made to reduce the rates for Baring Bro thers credits to 2s. IBd., at which some sales were effected, but the banks refused to purchase any paper under 2s. 1 5 .16d. which may be considered as the rate for the best local paper on England at six months' sight. On China exchange is nominal at Its. 242 to 243 per 100 dols., at 60 days' sight. On Calcutta, at 60 days' sight, Its. 99 10-16 per Rs. 100. CALCUTTA, Oct. 18.—The Bombay steamer arrived on the 15th instant, with London dates to the Bth ultimo. The commercial intelligence is most satisfactory. The holidays having commenced on the 6th, two days after the date of our last price current, and business having only been resumed this morning, we are unable to supnly our readers with our usual commercial report, including full statistics of our imports and exports. The 12th instant being deemed a lucky day in the Hindoo calendar, small purchases at previous ra t es were ma d e b y most dealers for luck's sake, but no transactions of any importance have transpired. As usual, after the Pooja, a few days will elapse before business will re-commence with any energy. The prospects of our cotton goods market have improved. Rain has happily fallen abundantly in the north-western pro vinces, and all fears regarding the fate of the grain crops have been dispelled. This fortunate dispensation will give confidence to dealers, and a good business in imports, it is_anticipated, will arise before the termination of the current month. In exports we have nothing to say, as the markets have been closed during the vacation. Tonnage is, however, more abundant than it was, and the ra t e of freights lower ; this fact, coupled with the encouraging advices of colonial produce received by the Bombay, will doubtless give an improved impulse to our import markets. We have no change to make in our last estimate of the coming indigo crop, which we still think will range between 105,000 and 108,000 mds. Our advices from the Dooab are of an improved character, but those from Tirhoot report a storm of wind and rain having occurred in that district, which had the effect of largely reducing the returns from the vats, and it is too late in the season for the uncut plant to recover its full colouring properties. Before the next mail leaves we shall be in possession of more precise returns than we have as yet b een able to obtain, and we hope then to be able to state with a greater approach to accuracy the figure which the crop is likely to assume. The quality of this season's produce is generally superior to that of last year's and the cakes are consequently expected to weigh lighter.. EXCHANGE with London has advanced to 2 1 . 4 to 21, at which rates transactions fur this mail have transpired. THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES. Susanna Bailey, servant to Mr. Draper, said, after the prisoner had called and seen Mr. Draper, and had informed himself of Mr. Draper's movements, the prisoner came again the next day, and said he had been so unfortunate as to drop his glove in the area, would I be so good as to get it for him. I consented, and left him in the hall while I went down stairs, and in less than two minutes I returned with the glove. The prisoner mentioned that he would call again in the evening and see Mr. Draper. About nine o'clock the next evening the prisoner called, bringing with him another person to see the rooms, as he said. I requested them to come into the hall while I got a light; and having got a light, I showed them into the front drawing-room. While I was up stairs with the prisoner and his friend, I heard some one go across the hall towards the rooms of M. Gianotti, a gentleman who had apartments in the house. I did not feel any suspicion, as I thought M. Gianotti was at home. I went up stairs to the bedrooms with the prisoner and his friend, and one of them opened a window to look into the street, while the other put questions on various subjects to me, and by that means detained me up-stairs a quarter of an hour. The prisoner and his friend, whose name he said was Scott, then went into the drawing-room again. The prisoner said his friend Scott liked the rooms very much, and he would call and settle with Mr. Draper about the apartments the next day.' I then let them out, and I did not notice at the time that any robbery had been committed. Charles Gianotti, living at present at No. 6, St. James'. place, had apartments on the ground-floor in Mr. Draper's house in August last. On the 4th of August I went out leaving the property in my apartments safe. I returned the next day, and first missed my cigar-case, which contained a £lO and a£6 bank note. I next missed a small black trunk, containing £46 in bank notes,three gold chains, and a quan tity of miscellaneous property. My writing desk was also broken open. The value of the property was about £3OO. Mr. Draper recalled : Said he had not been able to meet with the prisoner since August, when he called on him, until last Saturday. Witness wassoing through a court in Brewer street, when he met the prisoner and stopped him, saying, "He thought he had the pleasure of knowing him." The prisoner said, "He had met him before, but could not tell where." Witness mentioned the visit of him and his friend Scott to his house, and said he should like to know some thing more about this Scott. The prisoner said he would take him to Mr. Scott. Witness said he should like a police-constable to go with them, and told prisoner to walk with him to the station-honse and explain what appeared to be suspicious in his proceedings. The prisoner accom panied him to the station-house. • Inspector Lester detailed a conversation in the station house with the prisoner. The prisoner asked Mr. Draper if he was promised a gra tuity for introducing a lodger. Mr. Draper said yes. The prisoner then began to examine the girl as to his identity, apparently not aware he had himself established his identity by his questions to Mr. Draper. A chisel and bag used commonly by housebreakers, were found in his posession. Remanded till Monday next. CHINA MARKETS. HONGKONG, Oct. 10.

LAW COURTS.-LONDON. EXCHEQUER CHAMBERS. THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY COMPANY V. THE SOUTH YORKSHIRE AND RIVER DUN COMPANY. Mr. BRAMIVELL stated that this was a writ of error from the judgment of the Court of Exchequer, which had been given in favour of the South Yorkshire Company. It ap peared that a deed had been made between these two com panies with regard to the toll to be paid by the plaintiffs in error to the defendants for the passage of coal over the defendants' railway. This was upon a very intricate fluctu ating principle. The learned counsel submitted that it was now established law that these corporations were created for a limited purpose and with limited powers, and an act done by them beyond those purposes or powers was not only illegal but was absolutely void ; and he contended that this was an act in excess of the statutes which incorporated these railways. Sir F. KELLY, on the other side, would admit that the cases laid down that no contract should be enforced, the performance of which involved the violation of an act of parliament, but he submitted that, if on a careful con sideration of this contract it,should be found to be a rea sonable, fair, and just contract, entered into deliberately by these two railway companies, not by way of speculation, but after experience of the traffic,—if the court should find that it was not only reasonable and just, but had been deli berately entered into for the advantage of both companies, the court would pause before it held such a contract to be void. It was under this contract that such a rivalry had been created to the old mode of supplying the metropolis with coals, but the Great Northern Company were now desirous of setting aside this contract, in order to fall back upon an earlier one which was more in their favour. Was it a fatal objection that the remuneration was uncertain in amounts? The arguments were not concluded when the court rose. In the case o f the East Lancashire v. the Lancashire and Yorkshire, which stood for judgment in this court, is not yet prepared. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Nov. 28. "A CAPTAIN BOLD."—In Re RICHARD JOHN HICKS.— This insolvent, who, under the name of Captain Hicks, has lately become somewhat notorious in consequence of certain proceedings at the Marylebone Police-court, and the Middlesex sessions, had petitioned the court under the Pro tection Act, and was to have undergone his first examination to-day. Mr. LEWIS, the insolvent's attorney, said his client was not present; but had sent an _affidavit which set forth that he was in attendance upon the master of the rolls in Ireland, and could not leave Dublin without rendering himself liable to an attachment. A suit had been instituted to remove him from the guardianship of his children. Mr. SARGOOD said he appeared to oppose for three credi tors, and should ask the court not to renew the protection, as it was a case in which, if the nowt had had all the cir stances before it at first, no protection would ever have been granted. The Chief COMMISSIONER looked at the schedule, and found the insolvent described himself as a captain in the Rotunda corps of cavalry, and agent to a paper -maker in Dublin. The affidavit appeared to have been sworn on Friday, and it stated that the matter in which he was con cerned stood for Saturday. He could have come over on Saturday night, and returned this evening to Dublin. Mr. LEWIS said there were executions out, and if the court should think fit to withhold further protection the in solvent would be prevented from returning to Dublin. Mr. SARGOOD stated the case of two of his clients, Messrs. Stapleton and Jacobs, to be that their debts had been con tracted by fraud. Mr. Clement, the third opposing creditor, was a schoolmaster with whom the insolvent pl ace d th ree of his sons at Midsummer, 1851, and removed them a t Christmas following without paying the bill of 441. Is. 6d. The insolvent was arrested upon a capias , to which he put in bail in the persons of Miss Fig ges , o f the Aviary, Chel tenham, and Mr. Noble, of Oatland-house, near Ledbury. Mr. Clement proceeded with an action which he had com menced, and the insolvent pleaded " Never indebted," but did not appear at the trial, when a verdict was given for the plaintiff for the full amount, the costs being taxed at 761. 10s. The insolvent then asked for time, and proposed his mother-in-law (Mrs. Figges) as security, representing her as a widow. That lady's guarantee was taken, and two months' delay was allowed; but, no money being forth coming at the end of that period, an action was commenced against Mrs. Figges ; whereupon the insolvent wrote to the plaintiff's solicitor, stating that the lady was a married woman, and would plead her coverture, which statement induced the attorney to discontinue that action. Proceed ings were then taken against Miss Figges, under the bail bond, but she immediately left this country for Ireland. The other bail (Mr. Noble) was also sued, who proved to be an assistant at a school at Oatland-house, and was worth nothing. Judgment having been obtained against him, Noble took the benefit of the act at Hereford, and on Mr. Clement's opposition, was remanded for six calendar months. Since then, Noble's father had paid to Mr. Clement 801. to obtain his son's release ; and that sum, after paying the costs of the action against Noble, and of the opposition, left a balance of the judgment debt still unsatisfied, and the costs in the action against insolvent (76/.), of course, quite untouched. In Noble's schedule it was stated that Dicks gave him a written instrument purporting to be an assign ment of a bond for 5001., bearing 6 per cent. interest, and also an assignment of some hoiseh.old furniture. The learned COMMISSIONER remarked that that part of the case did not bear against the insolvent, except that he ought to be present to undergo examination. Mr. Samuel, manager of the business of Mr. Jacobs, umbrella and walking-cane dealer, in Cockspur-street, com plained that on the 20th o f September last the insolvent bought a Malacca cane for 305., giving in payment a cheque on the National Bank of Ireland for £5., drawn in favour of Captain Hicks by R. J. Hicks, and receiving the difference. Mr. Stapleton, a wine -merchant, produced two similar cheques for £9 10s. and £l5, which he had cashed for the insolvent, who represented the drawer to be his cousin, the barrack-master at Nenagh, who was his agent, and trans mitted the cheques on account of rents which he received. Upon the insolvent's trial at the Middlesex Sessions Captain Joseph Hicks, the barrackmaster at Nenagh, was examined, and denied all acquaintance with the insolvent. As all the facts relating to the cases of Messrs. Jacobs and Stapleton have been lately so fully before the public (Ruins +I , P course of the proceedings before the magistrate and at the MicklieseA. 2.. i mg. it is unnecessary to repeat the details. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER said the question at present was, whether he should put off the case and enlarge the protection. It was his dear le whonpvpr preditnrs wiched to always to hear them, although the insolvent might not be present. He was not pledged to treat it as evidence upon another occasion, unless the insolvent assented to it. The insolvent would be entitled to ask the creditors to come again, and cross-examine them, and give what further evidence he chose, if he thought that upon any future occasion he could prove he was not a common cheat and a swindler, but at present he (the Chief Commissioner) should not enlarge the protection. LONDON POLICE. MARLBOROUGH-STRE ET. - George Amherst, who described himself as a solicitor's clerk, living in William -street Re gent's-park, was brought bef o re Mr. 'Bingham on sus picion of having been concerned, with others not in custody, in stealing money and other property to a large amount, belonging to M. Gianotti, an attache of the Sardinian Em bassy from the house of r. Draper, No. 9, Charles-street, Grosvenor-square. The robbery was effected in a most ingenious manner, and the apprehension of the prisoner was the result only of a fortunate accident. Mr. Draper, lodging-house keeper, No. 9. Charles-street Grosvenor-square, said : On the 2d of August, about nine o'clock in the evening, the prisoner, who was a perfect stranger, came to the door and asked me if my name was Draper, I said , " Yes." The prisoner said he had just re ceived a letter from the servant of a gentleman named Mac donald, who was stopping at Torquay, stating that his master was about to co me to town, and wanted apartments to be ready for him. The letter gave my name and address, and the prisoner said he had been requested to call upon me and ascertain if I had apartments disengaged. I asked him who Mr. Macdonald was, and the prisoner replied he believed he had been recommended by the Earl of Powis. I said very well, and having apartments unoccupied I asked the prisoner if he would like to see them. I showed the pri soner the rooms, and told him the terms. The prisoner said he thought they would suit, and he would write at once to Mr. Macdonald's servant, and let me know the result On the Wednesday following, on my return home, my ser vant told me the prisoner had called in the morning, About nine o'clock in the evening the prisoner came to my house and informed ma he would receive an answer to his letter on Friday next, and that Mr. Macdonald would be in town on the following Monday. The prisoner then went away, and I did not see him again until a day or two ago. GROWTH OF CANADA. It affords us pleasure to say that from official statements now before us, the mercantile prosperity of Canada is greatly on the increase. From what we have seen in passing from Quebec to almost its western limits, we were prepared to be lieve that the last year's importations were greatly in ad vance of any former year; but we were not prepared for the fact that m Upper Canada the increase of population was larger than that of the United States. Yet the census of both countries shows it to be the fact, as will be seen by an extract given below. As it regards the commerce of C ana d a , we l earn f rom th e Montreal Herald, that the importations of dry goods have exceeded in value those of the corresponding period of last year by $2,106,108; of hardware, $904,304; of teas, $92,152; sugars, $44,196. The census reports, made up to the commencement of the present year, have just been published. The Toronto Leader gives the synopsis of its contents. The census tables ,furnish some valuable : information on the comparative increase of th e diff eren t nationalities in Lower Canada. The comparison embraces the period be tween the census of 1844 and that of 1851. The greatest increase has taken place in Canadians of British origin ; being 46,63 per cent. against 27.69 in the French Canadians. The next highest on the list, English and Welsh, 5.59 ; Scotch, 8.81; 17.12, and United States, 4.59. The means of carrying on the comparison does not exist. In addition to the origins named, there is a sprinkling of Nova Scotians, New Brunswickers, Newfoundlanders, Germans, and Dutch, French and others of which L the enumerators obtained no particulars. In Upper Canada there is even a greater variety of nation alities. But in this respect neither Canada nor the United States is singular. Emigration brings its varieties of nationalities; but after all they are not greater than to be found in many countries in Europe. There is, however, this difference between Canada and Europe, that in the latter the distinct people often settle down by themselves in clans, whereas here everything, especially in Upper Canada, tends to assimilation. The Russian population comprises Scy thians, Huns, Massagates, Slavians, Cimbrians, Getes, and Sarmatians. These different people hav e un it e d a t different times, under the same government ; but amalgamation, under such circumstances, is much more difficult than where the process of fusion is carried on with the emigration. That people which we now designate by the general term French, comprises Goths, Danes or Normans, 13urgundians, from Northern Germany, Franks, Allemans, and some Romans mixed with the ancient Celtic. In Rome and Italy are to be found people from the north ; but it is doubtfiil if there be any ancient Romans. But such is the mixture of peoples that the Pope is sometimes the descendant of a Lombard, sometimes of a Goth, a Teuton or a Cimbrian. The sources of the Spanish race are Arabs, Carthagenians, Jews, Syrians, Visi,goths and Vandals. The time will doubtless come when the entire population of Canada, Upper and Lower, will be a more homogeneous Teople than any of those European countries are to-day. he French race in Lower Canada will struggle against the extinction to which all races in this situation are inevitably doomed ; but the struggle will be a bootless one. The example of Louisiana, a French colony, purchased from Napoleon, in 1802, shows how rapid may be the absorption of a race under certain circumstances. Half a century ago Louisiana was a French colony, with a French population. That people has now lost many of the distinct characteristics of its nationality; and in half a century more will be completely merged in the general mass of the population. In Lower Canada the process is slower, but the result must eventually be the same. When Lower Canada ceased to be a French colony, it lost at once and for ever that French emigration which had founded the colony. The remnant of a French colony, deprived of all accessions from extraneous sources, and dependent only on the natural means of increase, cannot hold its own against a rival race, who, to the natural means of increase, add the advantage of constant accretions from immigration. The comparative increase of the religious denominations is given. In the period from 1842 to 1851 the Church of England in Upper Canada increased 73.13 per cent.: and the Church of Scotland decreased 38.32, the Church of Rome increased 114 61, the Presbyterians of all kinds the enor mous amount of 572.38, the Wesleyan Methodists 45, the Episcopal Methodists 82, other Methodists not specified 600, the Baptists 131, the Lutherans 123.54, the Congregation alists 53, and the Menonists and Tunkers 73.68. Such has been the respective increase of the various denominations in Upper Canada, during a period of nine years. In Lower Canada the period of comparison is from 1844 to 1851. The Roman Catholics increased 30.42, the Church of England 4.31, the Church of Scotland 85, the Wesleyan Methodists 58, other Methodists not particularised 816, Presbyterians 465.55. Among the minor denominations the comparison is not carried out. During the last ten years covered by the census, the popu lation of Upper Canada increased 1041 per cent. At this iato tt mnrn than amihleg every ten years. This far out strips the progress of the United States, which from 1840 to 1850, increased only 66.66 per cent., and is over ten times as great as that of England and Scotland. England doubled in the first half of this century, Scotland did not mite double. At the commencement of the century the population of Scot land was 1,608,420, and in 1851 it was only 2,888,742. It was to be expected that the progress in population of Upper Canada would outstrip that of 'old densely populated coun tries like England and Scotland, but that for a period of ten years, the increase should stand for Canada 1044, and for the United States but 66.66 is what few would be prepared for. If Upper Canada had 950,000 inhabitants at the commencement of 1851, she will, at the rate of increase made in the previous ten years, have a population of over 2,050,000 in 1861, and at the conclusion of the next ten years, that is 1871, the population would be 4,225,000.

The deceased entered the army as ensign on the 20th October, 1793. Sir Thomas had received a cross and one clasp for Corunna, Salamanca, Vittoria, San Sebastian, and Nive. The deceased was made a general on the 23rd November, 1841, and colonel of the 4th (the King's Own) regiment of foot on the 7th February, 1846, which post he held at his death. DOMESTICS AT SAN FRANCISCO.--A late letter says :—Our community aro suffering for the want of good female help. Servants of all kinds continue to command large wages,—and are difficult to be had at any price. Seamstresses get $5 per day, and job work in proportion. Female cooks and waiters, nurses, and those adapted to general housework, readily get from $5O to $75 per month wages, and that too, in families of respectability, where they are sure to be well treated and find a good home. Common day labourers, hod carders, and the like, get $5 to $6 per day. Carpenters, maEons, and the like, $lO to $l2 per day, while their board costs them only $8 to $lO per week. Washing $3 per dozen, stereotype price. INCENDIARISM IN THE WEST. —On Saturday night a fire was discovered in some outbuildings on Southey Farm, near Culmstock, in the county of Devon, in the occupation of Mr. John Geare, and belonging to Mr. J. Heathcoat, M.P. for Tiverton. The fire soon spread to the dwelling-house adjoining, and in less than an hour, such was the fury of the flames, the house, the barn, stabling, cow shed, &c., were burnt to the ground. A hayrick, the produce of eighteen acres of land, and worth 501., a thrashing and winnowing machine, and a variety of agricultural implements, besides fifty bushels of barley, and a large quantity of straw, were destroyed. The premises were only partially insured, and the tenant has lost 3001. of property. It is generally supposed that the fire was the work of an incendiary, and, as this if the third that has occurred in that neighbourhood, it is hoped that active measures will be taken to bring the miscreants to justice. The rural police are on the alert. VOTES FOR SUPERIOR OPERATIVES.—There is another class of operatives whose superiority and consequent fitness for the franchise is incontestably proved, and whom the savings-bank qualification would not always reach—those, namely, who are placed in authority over others. Such are overlookers in factories and mines, foremen and heads of departments in iron foundries and machine-making establish ments, head gardeners who have labourers under them, and others in similar positions. All who are thus appointed to situtions of command have been selected in virtue of superior capacity, steadness, integrity, or education, and must, in order to have attained such situations, have given proof of mental or moral qualifications above those of the mass of their fellow-workmen. They are precisely the class whom we desire to discriminate from the rest; who, as leaders, are likely, to influence other, and whose opinion on public questions and men it would be really valuable to know. —Edinburgh Review. NEW ZEALAND FLAX.—The council have received from the New Zealand Society the one ton of Phormium Tenax, or New Zeal_. :1.1 flax, mentioned in a previous "number of the Journal, which has been cleansed in rather an inferior manner to the usual mode, and has had much less labour bestowed upon it than native-dressed flax. The object of Chu Now Zoal,nd Soeisty in sending this sample is to enable experiments to be made, with a view to the introduction and application of such machinery and pro cesses as might lead to improvements in the preparation of the flax, so as to render it fit for exportation. The New Zealand Society has placed in the hands of the council a draft for 50 guineas, which they are willing should be awarded to any person who will furnish them with modes of operation, models and specifications of machinery, by which the flax may be dressed at a cost not exceeding £5 per ton (this price to prepare the flax as a raw material,) reckoning the wages of an ordinary labourer at 4s. per diem, and of artisans at Gs to 6s 6d. The machine to be of two kinds ; one analagous to the old spinning wheel, that may be used in every cottage or shepherd's hut, and the other suitable for more extensive operations.—Tournal of the Society of Arts. IRISH POUTS IRISH ENTERPRISE —At a recent meet ing' of the shareholders of the Waterford and Kilkenny railway it was stated that the directors mean to apply next session to extend their line to Maryboro' and Ros crea and the following statement respecting the consequences to Waterford of the non-existence of railway communica tion with the districts surrounding it was made. The traffic on the line at the present time has not equalled the expec tations of the directors. This is chiefly owing to the present terminus at Dunkitt being upwards of two miles from the city of Waterford, and also to the great want of more fre quent steam communication between Waterford, Liver pool, and Bristol, and to the length of time the district was without the advantage of railways, the result of which bas been that the agricultural and other produce which would have been taken to Waterford for shipment has been drawn away to Dublin. The imports and exports of Waterford in 1835, amounted only to 248,000 tons ; in 1851 they had decreased to 237,000 ; whereas those of Dublin, which, in 1835, amounted only to 590,000 tons, had in 1851 increased to 1,397,000 tons; and since that time there is every reason to believe the returns from Dublin have been much larger, while those from Waterford have continued to decrease. It has recently been determined by influential persons at Waterford to construct a line of railway to the packet-sta tion at Dunmore, from which regular steam communication will be kept up with the port of Milford-haven, to which place the South Wales railway is now nearly completed ; and it is intended to run an increased number of steam vessels to and from Bristol and Liverpool, so that Water ford may again become the principal shipping port for the produce of and the supplies to the south-east of Ireland.
