Cholera continues fearfully prevalent in the North-west_ Provinces, and several British officers bate died of it. Th e last fortnight's news from China is rather u ninteresting. The Imperialists have made another nsuccess unsuccessful attempt to re-capture Amoy, and from thet he accounts received of the spiritless behaviour of 10 Tartar troops, both on this occasion and also at Chin-liiang-too, it is now evident that there is 44 end of the M ,Lanchoo dynasty.

Y Her Majesty s steamer Styx, and brig c have little new to report regarding the rebel lion, and it is difficult to gain correct intelligence. Our dates from Shanghai are to the 18th ultimo. The movement of the insurgents into the Kiana b si province seems beyond a doubt, and they had taken possession of the principal city, •causing alarm in Moning and the Moytme neighbourhood, the seat of the tea districts. From Foochow our dates extend to the 10th of July. The rebels had met with reverses and been driven back, and disturbances in the Shang-foo dis trict, are quieted for the present. A parcel of black tea had come down, and more was expected. The American Consul seemed determined to work a trade there, having native agents in the interior. Our advices from Amoy are to the 18th ultimo. The Imperialists did not succeed in retaking the place, but retreated in good order. Trade was at a complete standstill, and likely to be so for months to come. Canton keeps quiet, but in the interior there is evidently great disorder, and the difficulty of transit is greater, which has a serious eftect on trade. The market for imports has continued excessively dull, and the small business done has been chiefly on speculation. Prices of 'most articles are again lower. Turkey opium, 330 dollars. Exchange on England for 6 month's bills 4s. 71-d. to 4s. 7ds. per dollar ; on India, RS. 265 to R 62 per 100 dollars. Freights £3 10s. to £3. The steamer Ganges, on the 4th inst. brought from the London and intermediate places about 4 lacs of dollars in bar silver and dollars. Sycee silver is quoted 5 per cent. premium. A considerable business has been done in tea, and prices are firmly supported ; lately musters have come down slowly, which induces the teamen to be firm. At Shanghai markets remained in the same un satisfactory state. No inquiry for imports. Few teas had arrived, and scarcely any settlements had been made. Silk was held for an advance. Ex change on England, almost nominal, quoted Os, 6d. to 6s. Bd. per dollar ; on India 300 r. per 100 dol lars: Freights to England.X3 to £4. The export of tea from China shows an increase of about 4,000,0001 b. on that of last year to the same time, brit it is expected to fall off, as supplies are slowly coming forward, from interruption in the interior.- COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. BOMBAY MARKET. PROM THE 29TH JULY TO THE 29TH AUGUST The easy state of the money market for some time past still continues. The Bank of Bombay have reduced their rate of discount 1 per cent. Silver Bullion has been in request for the China market. Favourable reports still continue to be received of the crops up country. A good fall of rain is, however, now much desired. Prices generally have risen, but the price of piece goods and yarns is scarcely remunerative, and that of metals is still under the cost for which they can be landed there. Little has been done in Cotton lately. We now quote for Broach and Siirat 106 r. ; Dhollera, 101 r. to 103 r. ; Oomrawutte, 94r. to 96r. • and Compta, 93r. to 95r. We are small in stock, but fresh supplies may be expected immediately. Freights during the month have considerably fluctuated, .We now quote £3 to London, and £3 2s. 6d. to £3 ss. to Liverpool; to China the nominal rate is 16r. to 17r. per candy. There are now three vessels on the berth for Aus tralia, the average freight being from £5 to £7 per ton. Exchange.—The rates we quote are 2s. 15-16 d. for first class credits, and 2s. 18d for document bills at six months' eight. China bills, at 60 days' sight, have risen to 247 r. to 250 r. per 100 dollars, and even at that arc not easily had. Calcutta bills at 60 days' sight are quoted at 99r. to 991 r. Freights.—To London, 3/. 2s. 6d. per ton; to Liverpool, 3/. 2s. 6d. per ton; to Calcutta, nominal, per rass ; to China, 164rr. per candy. THE CALCUTTA MARKET, FRIDAY, AUG. 19 The steamer Bombay was announced on the 11th instant, and came up on the 12th, bringing London dates to the Bth of July. The reports from the indigo districts are still unsatisfac tory. Shel lac and lac dye remain unchanged. An average business has been done in hides. The business done m sugar for shipment to Great Britain has been very limited during the last fortnight, not exceeding 600 tons; prices, however, are firm, and about 2s. to 3s. per cwt, above home quotations. The business done in cotton piece goods •has been compa ratively limited. Holders of cotton goods arc very firm, and they are encouraged to continue so by the perceptible and wholesome falling off in the sendings from home, particularly as respects twist and unbleacheefabrics. 1,650 mds. pig lead are reported sold at 7-4 per md. Stilt is iu good de mand at full pricer, fine Liverpool is quoted .at 95 to 100, and butter at 94 to 95 per 100 mds. The money-market is kept well supplied, and accommo dation can be obtained on comparatively moderate terms. The share market is firm, with an upwards tendency. Exchange has not undergone any material alteration. First-class credit have been ruling 2s. 2id. to 2s. id., and documents at id. to id. cheaper. Bank of England post bills- 2s. Old. Australian Bank bills at 30 days' sight at 2s. Oid. 13ills on China, with opium documents, 235 r. per $lOO. Tonnage is very scarce. Freights have not, however, much altered owing to the small business doing in exports for Great Britain. The quotations to London are 3/. 15s. salt petre;. 3/. 15s. sugar; 4/. rice; 4/. ss. to 4/. lOs oil seeds. Rice to the Mauritius 2r. 4a. to 2r. 6a. per bag. The adver tisements show only two ships on the berth for London, four for Liverpool, one New York, three Australia, two France, four Mamitius, three China, two Straits, and three Rangoon and Maulmain. FRANCE. (FRO3I OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) . . . PARIS, TUESDAY. . . . .. . . The French journals of this morning regard the passage of the Dardanelles with much equanimity, and 'are very sparing of their comments The government organs anticipate only favourable re sults. Silence being no longer possible, the Moniteur breaks it, by giving to the world the intelligence, which it probably received last Friday ; but an nounces, that only two vessels of each squadron had the passed the Straits. The following is from the Siiele :--`, It is to be regretted that diplomacy has thought it necessary to' find a pretext for an act in every way worthy of praise. We are told that the ships have been sent for to protect the Christian residents at Con stantinople, The English and French residents inhabit the fanxbOurgs of Galata and Pera, wherein there is only an imperceptible minority of Mussulmans. The mob of Constantinople would not attack them, if so disposed, by traversing the two . bridges of boats, which could be easily intercepted, but by taking a circuitous route behind • the arsenal. There are two Christian qnarters in Constantino ple itself, one Armen'an, the other Greek, and the quarter of the Fanal is exclusively Gyeek. As yet, there has been no hostile demonstrations whatever in any quarter. We may add to this that the fes tival of the (Bariam, lasting four days, when every Mussulman kills a sheep, and forsakes business for pleasure,) has passed off without disturbance. During this fête, the Sultan goes in solemn pro cession to the great mosque, attended by his officers, who scatter money among the people. Ins appear ance was hailed with great cordiality. The Sultan does not live in the old' Seraglio, but in a lofty palace on the Bosphorus, about 3A- miles from Constantinople, and the surrounding edifices are inhabited only by the wealthier and better affected classes, A telegraphic dispatch of the 15th announces that the Ulemas had made the " antende honor able." The Debats gives some interestin g parti culars about this class :—" Mahomet instituted no priesthood—but the Koran being hi Arabic, and not to be translated without profanation r there was formed a body of literati, acquainted with Arabic, and reciting aloud the prayers in the mosques, to serve. as. a guide to the faithful, who pray in a language of which they understand little or nothing—these are the Ulemas, which means, literati, or doctors. They also interpret the Ko ran, and, as with the Mahometans, the religious and civil law are confounded, they call themselves also interpreters of the law. The grand • Musphti is chief of the law • but the active, real chief of the Memos, having the title Scheik-ul-Islam, is by right Minister of Justice. On all solemn occasions the Sultan refers any great measure that may be in contemplation to a council of Ulemas, who have to decide whether it be or be not in opposition to the Koran. Throughout the whole Empire they number about 30,000, and a laborious course of reli gious and legal study is required of the aspirants to the hierarchy. It is only at the age of 30 years, and after long privations, that the young Softa cm expect the grade of muderi, or professor, which may lead him to still higher dignities." The Emperor and Empress arrived at St. Omer on Sunday, and were present in the evening at a splendid ball given by the municipality. They left yesterday morning for Dunkirk, and reached Calais at half-past five, THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES. The Echo Agricola gives the following prices of wheat per hectolitre, in some important places : pails, 40 to 42 SOiSBO2iS, ditto ; Rouen and Chartres, 38 to 40 ; Lille, 39 to 45 Amiens and Strasburg, 97 to 40; Marseilles, 37 to 371; Bordeaux, 36 to 37+ ; Nantes, 35. to 351; Orleans, 37 to 41; St. Malo, 28 to 31 ; Caen; 39, to 40 ; Lisieux, 39 to 41 There is still cote ehande of an Italian Opera, and many singers have been engaged upon parole, but it would be imprudent as yet to Mention names. Lord Brougham is at the hotel Meurice The Trieste - Gazette has the following from Con stantinople, dated the 12th :—" It is stated that Russia demandS, as the sole indemnity for the ex penses of the occupation, the small province of Laristan. This small country would be of more value to Russia than Moldavia and Wallachia together, as it contains mines of lead and copper, and extensive *forests' of oak, wherein would, be found the wood necessary for the construction of the Russian fleets. Once in possession of Laris tan, the submission of Daghestan and Circassia would be certain. All the roads conducting into Persia and Asia minor would be in the hands of Russia.—Gatignani.

PARIS, WEDNESDAY The entry of six or seven ships of the allied squa drons into the waters of Marmora, completes the rupture of the treaty of 1841; and, whether war takes place or not, involves some new engagement between the parties to that now disregarded chap ter in the public law of Europe. Now, all the powers are free from its provisions, and may either appeal to the sword or to a congress, to find a new situation ; for it is manifest that the position of each and all at this moment, is attended with too many risks to be permitted to last very long. From what I hear, it seems that the 'ordWfor the French fleet, or a part of it, as might be deemed necessary to adVance, was sent from France before the Emperor- proceeded on his northern tour. At all events, it is certain that at a council held on the Wednesday . previous to his departure, new in structions were • prepared for the ambassador at Constantinople, 'which are said to be of a most spe cific character. No doubt, analogous instructions would be sent by the British Government to their ambassador, as the two nations are quite agreed ; and thus M. de la Cour and Lord Stratford would be placed in a position to act with harmony. At the present moment we cannot definitely know what these instructions were; but we may infer that they invested the two ambassadors with greater powers than they had before. Our latest intelligence from Constantinople, is to the 15th. At that time no apprehensions were felt from the fanaticism of the Ultra Turkish party, which we were told threatened the Sultan's throne and life. This feeling, if it ever existed, was absorbed in re sentment against Russia. In other words, it was a warlike, but not a-rebellious. sentiment. I hear from the Russian embassy, that one of the Rothschids has been invited or summoned to attend the conference at Olmutz, in Moravia, where the Emperor of Russia is to meet the Emperor of Aus tria, and where there will be congregated all the diplomatists and intriguers of Russia, Austria, and Prussia. I attach much importance to the fact of one of the Rothschild's being asked, or required, I do not care which, to attend. Russia cannot carry on war without money. Would it not be strange if hereafter, we find that we are indebted to the closeness of a Jew money lender, for - the preserva of the peace of Europe ? Another illustration of D'lsraeli's romantic theory, that the world is in debted to Jews for every thing good and great. There are many rumours iriliaris of differences between Turkey and Greece. It is said that on the Russian troops entering Wallachia, the Consul. General of Greece, - en grade tenue, proceeded to the commander-in-chief and congratulated him upon his arrival. Hearing of this, the Porte sent the Consul his Passliorts; but the Greek govern ment refused to consider the quootion until the Consul was remitted . to his previous status— against, it is added, the advice of Mr. Wyse, your minister at Athens. This amounts to a defiance of the Porte by its former tributary, and no doubt is attributable to Russian agency. The matter rests in this state; yet the Greek government is dearly wrong in this matter. After the - conferences at Olmutz, the Emperor intends, according to report, to proceed to Odessa. -The Cholera has been prevailing there for some time, and may prevent .the imperial visit, for I do not apprehend that " or th o d oxy " i s a spec ifi c against the epidemic. I do not, therefore, think he will venture .to go ; still his movements are sometimes so sudden and so extraordinary, that I should not be surprised at it. Letter from Odessa give a deplorable account of the embarrassments prevailing there, owing to the unsettled state of the Eastern question. The want of transport is causing most serious losses to the grain merchants, for the warehouses and granaries are full—so full, that they are obliged to build wooden huts in which to store the corn, waiting for means to transfer it to Marseilles • and other ports. The Russian fleet was reviewed on the 10th Sept. by Prince Menschikoff. • There were 50 vessels of war of varied powers, and a considerable number of gun-boats. After the reviews, there was a mock fight.. Many Greek sailors are in the crews. They are superior to the Russian sailors in skill, and perhaps in courage ; but neither in skill nor cou rage, whatever they may be in numbers, can they contend for a single day with that amphibious biped the British sailor. At this moment the Russian commanders are maintaining a most vi gorous police over all the. shores of the Black Sea, particularly on the Circassian coasts They have good reason to believe that considerable freights of arms and ammunition have been, or will be sent to Schemyl—the Tell of Circassia—in order to create a diversion en.that side in the event of hos tilities against Turkey. Foreigners ayriving at Odessa have to submit to many inconveniencies. The Bourse is completely tranquil, and there has been no material variation in prices since my last. CANADA ARRIVAL OF • THE LADY EGLINTON The screw-steam ship, Lady Eglinton, Captain Paton, arrived here - yesterday morning, from Que bec, after a passage. of eleven days, nineteen hours, and has furnished us with Canadian advices to the 17th inst, being three days later than those re ceived, via New York. The Lady Eglinton, after leaving Quebec, was enveloped in a dense fog for some days, and she did not discharge her pilot until the fifth day. • There is no political news of interest contained in the papers, but the Montreal Gazette, in an article upon the establishment of another line of Canadian and English steam-ships, remarks, " While they," the Quebec people, " are crying out to Government to aid them, Montreal mer chants are acting, we believe, upon the maxim that Providence helps those who help themselves ;" . and another season will see, if we are not much misinformed, an independent line of Canadian ocean steamers put on between this and Great Britain. Let the Quebec shipbuilders club to gether, and build the big steamer, and they will find it will pay them without any Government meddling?, Chaleur, 100 miles distant from the alleged lo cality. GREECE. The Hellenic gaVernment expresses, in the Ob servateur, its astonishment and Vaniful regret that the Porte should have withdrawn the i ,. equatfie from the Greek Consul-General in Wallachiti: The Hellenic government will first complain to Turkey; and afterwards do justice to itself, should this become neCese:arv. NEW BRUNSWICK. By the Lady Eglinton, we have received advices from St. John's, New Brunswick, to the 16th inst. The Railway Demonstration came off on the pre vious day. The weather was propitious. A pro cession of trades, fire companies, masons, citizens, magistrates, &c., two miles long, marched to the ground. The first sod was turned by Lady Head, assisted by the Lieut-Governor, in the presence of many distinguished guests, and about fifteen thou sand persons. A sumptuous luncheon was given at 3 o'clock. The principal speakers were Messrs. Jackson and Johnston. There was a beautiful dis play of fireworks in the evening, and a grand ball at 9. The gallery and musicians broke down about half past twelve, slightly injuring several persons, one severely. It is officially denied that the steam-ship Devas tation was in contact on the 28th ult., with an American vessel. The Devastation was in Bay SPAIN The Madrid Gazette, of the 24th, announces that Marshall Narvez is at liberty to return to Spain. AUSTRALIA. The Typhoon, from Port Philip, has brought 7373 ounces of gold, Valued at 429400: The Marlbo rough (as stated yesterday) has Also arrived with 72,000 ounces, valued at £288,000, With the im ports previously reported, the total receipts of gold in England amount to X 630,000. The Essex is likewise reported, but her amount of gold is not .yet ascertained. It is believed, however, that she has at least brought about 10,000 ounces. The dates brought by the Marlborough (Allen W. Young) from. Port Philip reach to the 4th July, this vessel having arrived off the Lizard in 83 days. Her advices therefore, are nearly a month later then those previously to hand, and, together, with those of a rather earlier date, which have also been received by other vessels, are of an important character, since they will increase the serious anti eipatioas expressed regarding the . probable fate of the consignments lately made from this country to the colony. The import market for goods was already overstocked, and a vast proportion of those which consisted of unsuitable articles were ap parently being sacrificed at auction at little more than nomonal prices. With respect to provision, a similar state of affairs seem to have approached. Sales that had been made of malt liquors to arrive had been disowned by the purchasers on various pretexts, while, as regards flour, it is said there were 50,000 barrels in the port, a great portion of which, according to some accounts, would be shipped to England. The Eagle, which was to sail about the beginning of July, is said to be bringing over 6000 brls. at a freight of about Bs.per . ships, with cargoes on board, were lying in the harbour, and meanwhile the charge for lighterage was becoming more exorbitant, 355. per ton being .demanded for free, and 40s. to 455. for bonded goods: An impression seems to have prevailed in the colony that after the present arrival future supplies might probably be only moderate, and that hence some recovery in prices might be looked for when the roads to the mines, which had for some time been impassible, should again be opened, more especially as the accounts of the gold production were very favourable, and it was understood that goods were wanted there. Those hopes of a more satisfactory state of affairs cannot, however be trusted to the same extent on this side, where the consignments sent out are known to have increased week by week uninterruptedly for more than six months since the sailing of the latest vessels that had yet reached the colony The revenue of Victoria for the quarter just ended again showed an extraordinary augmentation, and the amount of gold shipped from Port Philip alone from the Ist of January to the 27th of June, valued at £4 per oz., was £4,400,000. The price of gold was 775. 6d. per oz., and the rate of exchange on London was 2 premium, with an expectation that it' might advance to 4 premium. In the latter case it would be more profitable to send sovereigns than bills. At the same time, large • quantities of gold dust were in course of transmission. Just before the departure of the Marlborough the Union Bank of Australia had given notice of a rob bery, which had caused great excitement. It ap pears that a case of note-forms belonging to the bank had been stolen from a vessel in Hobson's Bay, and put into circulation with false signatures. The forms comprised 12,000 of £1 each, 4,000 of £5 1,000 of £5O, and an unspecified number of £lO to £2O each. The Cleopatra steamer was to leave Port Philip for Liverpool on the 27th of July, and the Great Britain some time during the same month. - The - Marlborough has brought 60 passen gers and a heavy mail. The subjoined letter by the Typhoon furnishes a full and practical description of the general state of business at Port Phillip up to the 13th of June, subsequently to which date the markets con tinued to give way :- • " The importations into this port from England and America during the past few weeks have been unpreceden tedly large, and have already begun to tell upon the market. Most of the warehouses are crammed with goods, provisions, &c., and the lack of storage is daily forcing vast quantities of merchandise to hurried disposal—generally by the ham mer. By this means, however, the market is being gradually relieved of many trumpery and unsuitable articles sent hither by 'dabblers,' or inexperienced 'beginners' under the mis taken and too prevalent notion that anything will do for the colonies'—a notion, of which, it is to be hoped, their present experience will rid them. None but genuine and really useful• articles are wanted here. Meanwhile the presence of the contrary has an injurious influence upon the market. The very large importation of American flour and breadstuffs, and the accounts of large qua n titi es ye t t o arr i ve, have caused a very considerable decline in the prices of those articles. Grain has been gradually fallin g for some time, and a downward tendency is still manif es t, though oats are slightly recovering. In colonial flour the decline is not so perceptible as in foreign, and with our continually increasing population it is not probable that in any a r ticle of general consumption any serious depression can long rule. Almost all the flour from England, and very much of that from America, arrives soured, from what cause it is not easy to determine ; but very often it is attri butable to bad packing and deficiency of ventilation in the holds of the vessels. Several large parcels have recently arrived in 50 lb. tins, and all in beautiful condition. Ame rican may be quoted at £lB to £2O (tins), and colonial at £27 to £3O per ton. Provisions are rather lower. Manu factured goods, suitable for the season, find purchasers at fairly remunerative rates, as also ale, porter, and spirits. Building materials continue in great demand, but the profits of importers are most materially lessened by the heavy ex penses to which their goods a re su bj ec t. B es id es th e hi g h rates of freight and insurance, they have to submit to the charges of lighterage from the bay, at the rate of 355. to 40. per ton, and it is difficult to obtain lighten; even at these rates, and several ship agents have recently publicly inti mated that they could not get them, and that consignees must engage them themselves, and be prepared to pay the £lO per day demurage after the first 10 days, of cartage in the town at 7s. per one-horse load, and those who have not stores :Of their own, of storage at 2s. 6d. per ton per week. In addition to all this, their goods, if not very care fully looked after, are most unceremoniously precipitated into a sea of mud, which is almost the chief constituent part of ' the Queen's wharf.' New houses are springing up every day, and the Americans are establishing themselves here in considerable force. Adams and Co., the great American carriers, have opened a branch here. They carry to every part of the world. Their opera tions in this quarter are likely to be very large. The wool season is, strictly speaking, over here, but a few lots, which have been 'delayed by the difficulty (still existing) of obtaining carriage, keep dribbling in from distant stations, where it is probable parts of some few clips will be detained till after the winter. But, even after all has been brought down and shipped, it is the almost universal opinion that the export of last clip will show an actual decrease as com pared with that of the previous one, instead of what the English manufacturers require, a possitive increase. A very large proportion too, of the wool this year is sent home in the grease. ' Prices are higher here than those which ruled at the last Febrnary sales in London ; but considering the decrease in the year's export, the almost universal prevailence of the scab, which continues to spread, and which must materially effect the quality, and also the quantity of the coming clip (the foot-rot, too, is becoming very prevelent), and considering also the large orders for manufacturedgoods which have been sent home from those colonies, it is felt that an 'advance in price must still take place in the English market. " There is little doing in tallow. "Gold is very firm at 775. per ounce, and is only to be obtained in small quantities even at that price. The various digo b ins' continue to yield largely, but appa r e n tly no t more than the colony requires for remittance in return for im ports of goods and specie. " The banks are charging 2 per-cent premium f or bill s on London. The purchase draughts against hypothecated gold or produce at par. " Rents are very high. A moderate-sized store lets readily at £2,000 per annum, a respectable family house at £700., a four-roomed cottage at £l5O. to £2OO. " The cry is still for emigrants, but only for such as will work. Carpenters earn easily 20s. to 255. per day, and bricklayers nearly as much; and any man may make 10s. per day on the roads."

HORRIBLE TRAGEDY AT SEA By the Indian Mail, lust arrived, we are put in possession of the following painful particulars which we copy from the Friend of India Extra:— . . The well known clipper barque Aratoon Apcaf 9 of Cal duttal II enry Lovett, Master, left this harbour yesterdax &Orning . bound to Singapore and Calcutta, the crew con sisting principally of Beirgalese, with eight Chinese, and two Chinese carpenteri. it:totting to the log-book, at noon, with a westerly breeze, dreezi Island was N. E., distant 52 miles. This is the last entry. At midnight the Pilot left, and this morning delivered to the agents, IVids'grs Loleaca and_ Co,, here, a letter from Captain Lovett, covcri ktf one f6f Mrs: tovet4, in Calcutta, tole forwarded by mairleag ing to-daY. , The second mate, Mr. Woodbiume, relieved the chief mate on his *diet; when the pilot left. Half an hour afterward the Chinese pail dr crew, assisted by two Chinese passengers, came aft, armed "%kith - very sharp square knives, and having disposed of the second mate, and thrown him overboard, proceeded into the cabin, where Wefe• ing Captain Lovett, Dr. Thompson, late of the Lady Mary Wood, gr: Smith, late commander of the Red Rover, passen- GC gers, Mt: . Shirldng, chief mate, and an European lad .(Charlie) a relatiVe i we believe, of Captain Lovett's. Of all those five perSorat, only Captain Lovett's corpse remains, and it is supposed; finding it useless to resist armed men, the poor felloWS jumped overboard. There arc a good mane blood snietifs on the sides of the cabin ; but no appearance by which it might be inferred that they were killed on board. The chief mate's cabin is cut about a good deal, At the time of assault, a poor Portuguese secunie, by the name of Augustrie, was at the wheel. He says they tried to kill him also, but he got away up the rigging, where also fled the lascar seamen to watch. The gunner, who brought the Arratoon Apcar into har bour that molting ; a little after eight, with ensign flving union downwards, says he slept forward until two o'clock, when he was awoke by the Lasears from abaft, and learned what had happened. On going aft, be Met Captain Lovett, who said, " Give me a drink of water," and hating taken it, drew a long breath - land expired, death having occurred from a severe cut in the abdomen where the bowels were protruding. The gunner found both the quarter-boats gone, the topsail halyards cut away, the gnus spiked, and fire in the after hold, the scoundrels having attempted to blow up the vessel. About six o'clock in the morning, a pilot came on board, somewhere about Linting, and with his assistance the brig was brought into Hong Kong. As the vessel was not far from two islands at the time, it is possible that the missing people were able to reach the shore. Mr. Smith, it is said, jumped overboard unwounded, and, being a good swimmer, we entertain strong hopes for his safety. Two steamers leave for a search immediately. Captain Lovett's dog, of the English bull-breed, is cut severely across the nose and hip ; and having, it is said, fastened his teeth pretty deeply in the calves of the FiS _ _ . • 1 • sailants' legs, it is hoped that by the aid of the mark wretches, who cannot be far off, may be discovered. ' was not much treasure on board to excite th The eight seamen had been two voyages in the cupidity POLICE COURTS.-YESTERDAY LIVERPOOT MOTHER AND DAUGHTER.—Margaret Kelly, senior, and Margaret Kelly, junior, mother and daughter, were charged with stealing a quantity of wearing . apparel. On Wednesday, Patrick M'Evoy, saw them coming down Victoria-street with a bundle, apparently containing clothes. Elizabeth Newsom had lost the clothes on the same day. The pawnbroker, where the clothes were pledged, identified the prisoners, and knew some of the clothes. The mother said she had bought the ticket from another person, but she could not bring her forward. The daughter, who was a very good looking girl of about 18, cried bitterly upon hearing that the magistrate decided on sending the case, to;trial. The value of the clothes stolen was about £B. SLEEPING MT.—Mary Morgan was. charged with having been found, on Wednesday morning, at 10 o'clock, in the bonding warehouse of Messrs. Armitage & Co., Tower garden. She was perfectly sober when taken into custody, however, in defence, she said that being drunk the night before she had got into the premises, but how she could not tell—she was never more surprised in her life than when she awoke. The magistrate gave her the benefit of the doubt as to the criminal intention, and the prisoner was discharged. Urrßanco BASE COlN. —Elizabeth Wilson was charged with passing a base shilling to Mr. Talbot, druggist, 99, St. Jame's-street. She gave it in payment for some worm powders, and the impression of Mr. Talbot was, that she was the same woman who, about ten days ago, passed him a base shilling in exchange, for a similar commodity. In conse quence of a legal difficulty in the matter, the prisoner was discharge d. STEALING IRON.—Michael Moran and Richard Bell, two young lads of the true vagrant stamp, were charged with stealing iron from the warehouse of James Lyon, Hatton garden.

AN - UNGRATEFUL SERVANT.—Elizabeth Walter was charged with stealing a silk handkerchief, the property of Mrs. Ann Conway, No. 2, Norton-street. The prisoner'had come to her to say that being destitute, she would apply to the parish. Prosecutrix said that as she was an elderly wo man, she might have a home with her if she would take care of her children. Next day she found prisoner drunk ; asked her where she had got drink, and she said she had pledged a pair of blankets belonging to herself—asked for the ticket, and on her producing it, she found it was for a handkerchief. Prisoner was remanded till to-day BURGLARY IN GROVE-STREET.—ltichard Dunne, John Singleton, John M'Nulty, and Bridget M'Nulty, the two first little boys, the two latter, man and wife, were charged with being concerned in a burglary in Grove-street.

She was in the dining-room at the time, and upon going down, she missed a quantity of silver plate, forks, spoons, a teapot, and other articles. Officer 387, said that on the day in question, about two o'clock, he observed the two young lads with a bag, and saw one shew the other a quan tity of silver plate. The smallest of the two said that they had entered a house by a back door, in Falkner-square. He also said that they had taken a teapot, but that it being too heavy they had thrown it into a mudding. Anne Meylers, servant to Mrs. Myers, deposed to missing the property. A lad, who appeared to have been an accomplice, gave evidence as to selling the plate at the house of the two M'Nuity's. Mr. Owens depreciated taking such evidence, the only particle there was to implicate his clients. All the parties were remanded for a week. TAKING AN UNFAIR ADVANTAGE.—An officer said that late on Wednesday night, a gentleman informed him that he had sun a woman take a bundle from another woman who was sleeping on some stef s, in Dale Street. On going a little further, the gentleman pointed out the prisoner as the person. On getting into a crowd, his informant went away, and the officer could not since find him. Remanded to this day.

ROBLERY OF A WATCIr, &c.—At the Salford Town Hall, yesterday morning, a man named James Chadkirk, was brought up before the magistrates, charged with steal ing a watch, a handkerchief, and ten shillings, belonging to Thomas Hodgkinson, a butcher, belonging to Preston. It appeared that Hodgkinson had been at the cattle market on Wednesday, and that having missed the train in the ,even ing, he was obliged to remain in town all night. Between eleven and twelve o'clock, he fell in the company of the prisoner, who offered to find him lodgings until the morn ing. To the proposition the prosecutor listened, and accord ingly he was taken to a cellar in St. Stephen's-place, St. Step Len's-street. On entering the cellar, he found that it contained two beds, in one of which were two women, and in the other a man and a woman. He sat down in a chair, aad fell asleep. On awakening he was put out of the house. He then discovered that he had, been robbed of his watch, a handkerchief, and ten s hilli n g s in silver.

PICKING A LADY'S POCKET.—Yesterday morning, at the City Police Court, a boy named John Greeson, very young in p ars, but very old in crime, was placed in the dock, chat ged with having the same morning picked the pocket of a lady, while she was proceeding along Deansgate. The lady, it appeared, was going along Deansgate, when she was accosted by a female, who enquired whether she had lost anything. The lady put her hand into her pocket,' and dis covered that her purse, which contained 19s, was gone. The female said she saw a boy put his hand into her pocket, and take something out of it. The boy ran off; but was pursued, and speedily apprehended. A policeman told the magistrate that the prisoner, who lived by pocket picking, had frequently been in the dock. The magistrates adjudged him to three months imprisonment, with hard labour, on hearing which, the impudent young rogue said, " Thank you, Sir." MALICIOUS ASSAULT.—A boy, of the name of Crompton, yesterday, at the New Bailey, preferred a charge of assault against another boy, named William Davis, who was de. fended by Mr. Bennett, solicitor. The assault, it appeared, took place on Tuesday night, at eight o'clock, at Newton Heath. There had been in existence some bad feeling► .be tween the boys, owing to the complainant having upon_ a previous occasion, given evidence in a c prisoner. On behalf of the defendant, an called, and she stated that the defendant N from about six to nine o'clock, on Tuesday c - her to turn a mangle. Mr. Trafford said, th did not believe the witness on the part of the def there convicted him in a penalty of 20s, and c default of payment, to be imprisoned for one moat hard labour. There was no doubt that the assault w mitted, in consequence of the complainant having been a witness against the prisoner in another case—and that was an offence wh'eh was punished severely. ant, and ;, or, in 1, with -as coin THE CASE OF MISS CUNNINGHAME. A deputation from the Protestant Alliance had an in-, tervidw on Wednesday, with Lord Clarendon, at the Foreign Office, in reference to the case of M niagliame, a 'Scotch lad who was recently Lucca, and is now con upon a charge of distributin t , Progress. d in the prisen - of that city, the Bible and the Pilarim'ft The deputation consisted of the Earl of Sh Colonel Alexander, Mr. Wilbraham Taylor, the Rev.

Hamilton, and Captain Gilborne, and was received most courteous manner by the Forei The Earl of SHAFTE;BURY briefly explained that object of_theAeputation was to lay before his lordship cast of Miss M:Cunninghame, ana to solicit the into; tion of her Majesty's government to procure that lady's liberation from prison. His lordship, after some remarks upon the case itself, proceeded to express himself in the strongest manner upon the barbarous nature of the law under which Miss Cunningham was arrested, and indulged a hope that the most earnest efforts of the government would be used to rescue a British subject from the indignity thus offered t) her. The Earl of CLARENDON said he entirely concurred in the opinion expressed by Lord Shaftesbury as to the charac ter of the law in question, which was not only contrary to the principles of the Gospel, but to the spirit of the age. His lordship said he was quite familiar with the facts of the case, having received a despatch from Mr. Scarlett on the subject, and that he had lost no time in forwarding his directions to that gentleman, which he did the same evening by post. Mr. Scarlett had acted with the greatest zeal in the matter, and in a manner to secure his (Lord Clarendon's) entire approbation. All the members 'of the Cabinet with whom he (Lord Clarendon) had had an opportunity of com municating, entirely agreed with him in the view he took of the case, and he felt that it was one in which no exertion should be spared on his part to secure Miss Cunningliame's release. His lordship concluded by thanking the deputa tion for urging this subject upon his attention, adding, that their so doing, afforded a strong indication of the interest felt in the case by all classes. The deputation, after thanking his lordship for his courtesy and the prompt manner in which he had taken up the case, withdrew. MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE, On Tuesday, the marriage of Captain the Hon.
