PRUBSIA.—The Berlin journals of the 30th
tilt have reached us. The Krim mieunder-
stsoding between the throne and the coaititnest
assembly being now removed, by the sew ca-
binet carrying out to a satisfactory extent the
decision of the latter with reference to the dradar to
the army, the anti-minieterialiste—taco who are
more opposed to the men than to their eassoms•—
have sought for and found new ground for debate, if
not for another ministerial crisis. Unibrtanately, too,
the King's name will be "gain prominently mixed up
with the discussion, and in a !pestles, serener in
which a great and humane pruiciple, one of general
interest and importance, is at stake. It will be, per-
haps, recollected that several weeks ago, the National
Assembly in Berlin passed a bill for the abolition of
the penalty of death—a resolution which was hailed
with juy by numerous philanthropists in various parts
of Europe. That bill, up to the present time, has not
received the royal sanction, and ministers have
declared that, before coming to a final decision re-
'pectin( it, they will await that of the constituent
assembly in Frankfort. This is a remarkable decla-
ration, inasmuch as Prussia hitherto has not been
over submissive either to the central parliament or to
the central executive; and inasmuch, moreover, as
the bill alluded to, although ene of universal interest,
in a moral point of view, is not strictly an imperial
question. The plain truth—and it may as well
be spoken, or rather written —la that a certain
high patronage is not pl with the bill,
inasmuch as it destroys one ofa
his kingly preroga-
tives, the one so majatically.described in the " Mer-
chant of Venice " as "becoming the throned.monarch
better than his &one." There was some skirmishing
on the subject in the Asaembly on the 28th ult., ant
it was understood that the rjed would be

Maas meetings and conventions in favour of divers
candidates we're being held in numbers.
From Mexico there is intelligence up to the 15th of
August. The Indian insurrection of the Sierra Gorda
had not been completely suppressed. Paredes was
said to be among the insurgents. The insurrection of
Mazatlan had been quelled. The leader of it,
Palacio. Miranda, escaped towards Durango. Con-
gress was in session and apparently attentive to busi-
ness. The general aspect of things in the country
was quiet. The cabinet of General Herrera seemed
faithful and energetic.
A Mexican schooner had arrived at New Orleans
with news from Campeachy us late as the 27th of
August. Yucatan has been, as we have already
stated, reunited to Mexico, and the decree of union
had been made public with great rejoicings. The
whites have nearly.regained their ascendancy in the
peninsula, and the treasury of Yucatan is to be re-
plenished by monthly instalments of 14,000 dollars
each.
The Courier and Enquirer says, in reference to
'commercial matters :
The intelligence by the Europa has had the general effect,
ammercielly, of depraing the price of breadetuffs, and of
11 giving more activity and ateadinets to the cotton market. The
podia aspect of affairs, especially in Italy, was looked upon
em more threatening. The American steamer United States,
which should bring a day or two later news from the Conti-
, neat, is eagerly looked for. Our stock market was net
affected by the European accounts, and remains much as it
was at previous dates. Money is in steady demand, and at
rates too high to encourage speculators' op, rations in fancy or
other stocks. The receipts at the Custom House continue
large—they averaged for the past week about 72,503 dole. a
day. As the outgoings just now on account of the govern-
ment are not large, the consequence is, an undue and ma-
chievoos accumulation of coin in the vaults of the
sub-treasury. There are now there above two and
a quarter milli of dollars in coin, with out-
standing drafts against it of not more than 300,000
dollars. This state of things snoop and alarms
the banks, which arc obliged to pay daily into this depose
tory, which has no returning current, a large stun in coin,
the only medium for the payment of duties. The el.

We have no change to make in our estimation of the
growing cotton crop. The weather has been generally fine
fur opening and picking since our last. New cotton is arriving
very freely at the southern ports, and the opening price is
lower than we ever knew it, especially in the interior markets.
The last steamer (the Europa) has been deemed favourable
to cotton, bonen she reported oorn down, and, accordingly,
the operations in our market have been more extensive, both
fur Liverpool and the continent of Europe, at a rally of fully
one eighth cent per pound ; the market, however, is assum-
ing
a quieter aspect, and it nothing arrives front Europe to
prevent it, prices appear likely to decline to a lower level.
The demand for foreign exchange is languid ;—the highest
rates asked for sterling bills are 9f to 104, without finding
many takers. Masan. Paint and La Barbier have paid in
hill all their obligations, and Mean. Fox and Livingston
out of responsibilities under which they were at the time of
their suspension, amounting to 582,000 dollars, have dis-
charged all but about 40,000 dollars, and that is in a satis-
factory train of adjustment.

THE OVERLAND MAIL.

The overland mail from India arrived:this morning.
The dates are from Calcutta to the 20th, Madras the
26th, and Bombay the 31st of August.
This mail, together with the following passengers,
left Bombay for Suez, by the steamer A.kbar, on the
31st of August
Mrs. Scott and child, Mn.Clarkson and child, Kn.
de Maguire and child, Captain George Gall, 6th M.L.C.;
Lieut. L,rd Adolphus Vane, the Rev. George Candy, C.

and Bus. N. H. M'Grath.
The troops under Major Edwardes were still be-
fore Mooltan. The Ferozepore force, of about 7,000
or 8,000 men, which the last mail mentioned as
having been despatched to their support, wan hourly
expected to join them, comprising two brigades of in-
fantry, some cavalry, sappers, and a siege train.
Heavy firing bad been heard in the direction of
Mooltan in the line of one of the columns.
A Sikh auxiliary force was also on the march from
Lahore.
The Bombay government had countermanded the
progress cf the troops previously ordered to proceed
up the Indus to Mooltan, on the ground that they
would not be required or would arrive too late.
Native intelligence from the scene of insurrection,
early in August, states that the inhabitants of Mool-
tan, having heard of the approach of the British
troops, were quitting the place, and that the Dewan
had in consequence built up the gates.
The Overland Bombay Telegraph and Courier sus-
tains the following respecting the movements of the
auxiliary column :
Ths Ferozepore lend column of the Mooltan force crewed
the river to Ganda Singwalla on the 23rd
le, and halted
there on the two following days. This delay led
to the report that probably the whole force would
be recalled; but the ramose happily proved incorrect. The
Lahore column (consisting of the 7th Irregular Cavalry •
troop of Hone Artillery, and the 62nd and Bth Native In
finny) marched on the 21st, end proceeded onwards without
say protracted halt, expecting to effect a junction with her
Majesty's 10th Foot on the 7tk August, and with the Ferose-
pore :column and siege train at a later date. The Delhi
°Aught of the 16th inn. aye— Althea,* we have no de-
tails to give in our present issue, we an happy is say that
the program of the troops towards Mooltan continues very
favourable. Ne additional deaths had occurred, and a con-
siderable portion expected to be before the place this day or
to-morrow.
There is news by this mail of an insurrection of
the Sikh troops in the mountain districts of the
Hazerah, a province of the Punjanb. The first act
was the murder of Colonel Canara, an European
officer in the Sikh service. The Delhi Gazelle
observes, in reference to this intelligence, that the im-
politic delay which had occurred in marching troops
to Mooltan no doubt had led the insurgents to presume
upon our weakness, under the belief that we were not
in a position immediately to pat down rebellion.
A circular letter from the editor of the Delhi
Gazette, states that ;the insurrection in the
Hazerah country was one of the Sikh troops, and
not of the people ; that it had been instigated by the
Sikh Governor Sirdar Chuttur Singh, Attareewallah,
father of Rajah Shere Sing, and that an attempt to
seize the fort of Attok was frustrated by the vigilance
of Major Lawrence, who despatched 450 men to
overawe the garrison.
The outbreak at Kandy, in the Island of Ceylon,
happily occasioning more alarm than actual damage,
bad been completely suppressed by the local govern-
ment.
Another remittance of 50 lakhs had, we learn, bean
ordered for the account of the Ida Company, of
which 30 lakhs are said to be from Bengal, and the
remainder from Madras and Bombay. The exchange
on bills in Bengal is said to be at a lower rate than
ever was known before.
The following is the summary of the Bombay
Times :
Mooltan has formed the great point of interest during the
past three months, our last summary of the 19th ult. gave
some abort detarli of the victory gained over the insurgents
on the lit of July, by the united armies under Colonel Con-
landt and Lieutenants Bdwardes and Lake. The fugitives
were completely scattered and driven within the walls; but
the conqueren had no artillery tit for battering the fortress,
