UNITED STATES.

LIVERPOOL, TUFAI,AV,
The British and North Amerituri Royal Ain
steamer Canada, Captain Harrison, liotn Sew York
direct, an ived here this afternoon, at a quarter Ise.
fore 3, with (date New York, Nov. 19) the usual
mails, 57 passengers, 1,296,000 dollars in specie, and
a small cargo. She reports that she met the steamer
Africa, of the same service, in 1! hour after leaving
New York. The news by this arrival, though
varied, is not of striking importance.
. .

By the arrival of the steamer Georgia, with ad-
vices from Havana to the I.lth ult., we learn that Mr.
John S. Thrasher has been tried and convicted of
high treason, and sentenced to the chain gang for
eight years. It is said that he will be sent to Spain,
fhe accounts from the Isthmus are highly unfa-
vourable, so far as regards the present facilities for
travel on the Nicaragua route. The Georgia brings
many of the passengers who crossed that way, but
was obliged to leave some 200 behind. She also
brings nearly two millions in gold dust.
The California had arrived at Panama with 0;0
passengers ; and the New Orleans with 300.
The steamer Central America, after three dies'
labour, passed the shoals at the mouth of the Iti;er
San Juan, and, at last accounts, was steaming away
in fine style 25 miles up the river. A serious ite:3-
dent had occurred on the San Juan by the sinking
of one of (ho small steamers plying on the rivers.
Several lives of returned Californians and consider.
able money were lost.
The Daniel Webster reports as follows:

Sailed from San Juan Nov. 6: when 12 hours out, expe-
rienced a severe norther, which la-sted three days. Oa the
15th in the gulf off Cape Hatteras, encountered a 'drll;
gale from the south-cag ; carried away paddlebeses, ship
behaving nobly throughout the gale ; made the pamige out
to San Juan in 10 and a half dap, towing the steam boat
Central America from the wharfin New York to San Juan
Nov. 4.—Arrived at San Juan, Englishatcamer Dee. Sailed
again on the sth with 150 pa‘sengers--returned Californians
—bound to New Orleans. The Daniel. Webster brings
stovers who left San Francisco by the steamers Indep, ii-
denve ;mil North America, to the 15th October.

Our miscellaneous advices mention that the cele-
brated Kosciusko will case had been decided in favour
of the creditors of the late Colonel Handbill, the ad-
ministrator to the estate. The Nero lurk Ilera4l
gives the following summary of a large meeting held
in New York to express svmpathy with the efforts
of the Catholics of Ireland to establish a university
for themselves, and to render them assistanee in car-
rying out that object:

It was crowded almost to sufrication. The greatest en-
thusiasm and good humour prevailed. Archbishop Hugh. s
delivered a speech of great length, ability, and logical wax-
men. lie did not demolish the socialists and red republi-
cans, but he took a Hing at Kossuth, and at the Times, the
enemy of Koo.uth. lle disposed very summarily of the
claims of the Attglo-Saron race," and contended stren-
uously fur his own particular views us to the necessity ot
religious education, end held that the state had nothing to
do with the matter.

It was rumoured that Archbishop Hughes had
been made a cardinal. Colonel llorace L. Kinney,
the great Texas landowner, had offered Kossuth amid
his companions 10,000 acres of land if they desire to
locate in that country. The land is situated on the
Seneca River.

The steam-ship, Daniel Webster, ten days from
San Juan, had brought to New York,ria the Nicaragua
route eleven days later intelligence from California.
The important movement in the southern counties
of Calithrnia for the division of the state is assuming
the form of sys'entatic action. The address of the
delegates of Monterey presents in a threibio manner
the reasons and necessities culling for the propo-ed
division. A convention of all the southern counties
was to have been held at Santa Barbara on the 2fitit
ultimo.

The quartz mining continues highly successful.
The news front the mining regions is of the most en-
couraging character, and the yield of the precious
metal promises to be greater than ever. There seems
to be still some difficulty with the Mexican inhabi-
tants, who will not conform to the laws of the state.
The commercial business of San Francisco with the
East, and especially with China, is rapidly growing,
and shows that that port will yet be one of the great
depots for the reception of goods front the East.
It does not appear frmn thu Was/ins/ton News
that either Mr. I.lebster or Mr. Calderon de la Barea
entertain any belligerent intentions. The only dif-
ficulty appears to be the absence of any discretionary
power on the part of the Spanish minister. lie has
had to send for fresh instructions to Madrid, as was
suspected ; so that we shall have these negotiations
still pending on the meeting of Congress.
The New lurk Hcrald has the following, referring
to the Tahuantepee route:
The telegraphic despatches in yesterday's paper stated
that Governor Letcher had assured the Mexican authorities
that the American cabinet would not sustain the provisions
(proceedings, we suppose) of the Tehusastepee Company;
and, alas, that the company were negotiating with Mexico
to surrender their cluiinc on certain terms. The facts, we
understand, arc that the charter given to Senor Don Jose
Garay by the government or Santa Anna was sold by Mr.
Garay to the house of llargous and Co. for 3,000,00 n dols.
The Mexican government has offered this company
1,000,155) dots. to get back this charter, which, it is under-
stood, they decline to take. Mr. Lacher must likely dis-
avowed, on behalf of the government,certain proceedings of
the Tehuantepec surveying party last summer, but he will
be proud to see that justice is done to the American con-
tractors. The charter is very clear and explicit. A report
of the survey of the whole of this route between COLdes-
coalor. and Tehuantepec will appear in a few weeks, by
which the superior advantages of this route over all others,
either for a railroad or canal, will be demonstrated. Mean-
time, the work of opening a road has been arrested by the
Mexican government. It will be the duty of Mr. Luther
to look into this business.
Our correspondent writes :

NEW YORK, Nov. 19.
By way of New Orleans we have news from the
city of Mexico as well as the Rio Grande. Our dates
from the former are to the ritli of November.
Governor Letcher, the American minister, had as-
sured the Mexican authorities that the cabinet of Mr.
Fillmore would not sustain the provisions of the Te-
-1 huantepec Company, and also stated that the cent-
puny were negotiating with Mexico to surrender
titer claims on certain terms.

The whole Ntexicatt country is in a stato of dissa-
tisfaction and agitation, especially on the Gulf eistst.
The immediate muse is the discussion of a prohibi-
tory tariff. Symptoms of insurrection are extending
to the states of Vera Cruz and Puebla.

An arrival from Brazos reports that Caravajal, on
the 9th inst., raised the siege of Matamoros, and his
followers disbanded. This news is considered very
doubtful, as is also the report recently brought front
Vero Cruz of the capture of Matamoros by the re-
volutionists.

Our domestic news has the usual characteristics.
We have had many reports that Mr. Webster was
about leaving tho department of state, in conse-
quence of his being a candidate for thel office of
president. I do not believe it; he is too sensible a
man to suppose for a moment that he has the least
chalice fir the succession. If he ever had, he cannot
now have any hopes. Mr. Webster, who is one of
our very greatest men, has always been the victim
of infirmities that often beset the great.
In reviewing the news by this arrival we have to
notice two things. Thvre is a want of confirmation
of a previous report, that the Sandwich Islands are
about to claim the protection of the United States.
IBut there is a very strong probability that Califoniia
will be divided into two states. The southern por-
tion appears tobe too distant from the seat of goy-L.lm-
-1 meat to be well governed, and the recent discovery
of valuable silver mines within its territory appears
to have given a fresh impulse to the friends of divi-
sion. Our large territories are like the polypi; cut
and divide them as you please, they always become
fresh and perfect polypi.
The telegraphic dispatches from New Orleans this
morning seem to confirm the story of the tli;lit of
Caravajal and his forces from Matamoras. It was,
says the account, a perfect stampede. Ile halted at
Reynosa, where some of his runaway soldiers have
rejoined him.
A Rio Bravo paper says that Captain Ford, of
Texas, is about to take command of the insurgents.

Sooner or later Mexico must fall to pieces. The last
blow she has r.veived from Mr. llovle, who de-
mended indemnity for British claims under the pain
and penalty of a blockade.
The letter postage measure adopted in the United
States last July appears to have been quite sueee-i-
--ful. Over six hundred thousand dollars worth of
postage stamps have been disposed of by the deert-
ment at Washington since the Ist of July. this
will give some idea of the high estimate which the
people of this country place upon the cheap letter
postage system, notwithstanding all the bad manage-
ment of the department. However, the regulations

printed matter are almost universally acknowledged
to be far from coming up to the desires or necessities
of the times. They arc in very many COWS a prohi-
bition. The inhabitants of America are universal
waders;—they do not merely read for pastime, but
Ike profitable instruction, and it is this insatiable
thirst atter knowledge that has given our
mechanics, traders, statesmen, philosophers, and
artists such a pre-eminent position among
the nations of the earth. Every person in this
hind is des:roas of being at all times conversant
with the principal topics of interest in every section,
and the only way in which this ultimatum can be
arrived at is through the medium of the press. This
indisputable fact clearly shows that it is essential,
for the general benefit of society, that the rates of
newspaper postage should be either materially re-
duced or abolished altogether.
A meeting of the friends of cheap postage was held
at the Merchants Exchange on the I:th ult. Reso-
lution, were adopted, and an address delivered by
Barnabas Dates. &41. A committee was appointed
to memorialise Congress and urge the passage of a
law making the postage on newspapers to any part
of the United States one cent., and pamphlets and
periodicals half a cent per ounce.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

NEW YuUK, Nov. 19.

In sound storks since our last there has not been any
important fluctuation, and, the denkind has Leon moderate.
The fancies, however, have had generally an upward ten-
dehry, Erie and Reading being the most active, and having
advance,l the most.
. . _

In freights there is but a moderate business, and the
rates are unchanged. Tu Liverpool flour is 12.1.; grain

land the re is au improvement, having been paid fur
Cotton, and 32.. Od. for rice.
The market for sterung continue' firm at 1101 to 1101 for
the t stn me' of lint-class bills. A sale of 100,0001. was
made by one leading drawer to another at about 1101,
drawn aaaitust gold to be shipped by the steamer to-
morrow. A. the drawer u...ver insures and pays no commis-
sions, be ran place gold in London cheaper than other
bankers. There is but a small supply of bills, excepting
those drawn against gold shipments. !..ranee, 5.15 to

men, 7'l to 71. q. The rivers at the south have experienced
a rise, wllich will bring cotton into the shipping ports, and
emote a .tipi.l3 of bills which • ill to some extent meet the
demand no ecinittanre. At the present low rates fur cot-
ton and breadstuff., however, there appears to be hope yet
of • ee•sation of gold eaports.

a. _ e
There is a more acne e demand for money and some of the
banks have called in loans to some extent. We have no
change to note in rates no call, which remain on geed
sleeks a' 6to T per cent., but with the disposition to con•
tract buns in some quarters, we shall but be surprised to
see money dearer durin2 this week or next. There is,
however, one circumstance favourable to a continuance of
annoy market, that the heavy payments of the mercan-
tile CoOlvaUllity are nearly over, and they want but moderate
aeconeneelaC from the bane.. Fiestalass paper is still
in good demand, and nut plenty. The extreme rates
are 7 to 12 per cent., the bulk of the sales being at 8 to
10 pet et nt. second-class names 12 to 18 per cent.
The advice, from California in regard to the crop of gold
are of the most flattering deecriptitio. The surface waslitia.s
are yielding in all lovalitite a large reward to the labours
of the miners, while new discoveries of placers arc being
daily made. In the quartz districts new veins arc being
explored, an.l numerous companies formed for the purpose
of working them. The companies in operation, whose
affairs are conducted with skill, and who have proper
nsaehinciy, are doing well. Indeed the prospect of the '
quantity of gold in Califumiaapprars now to go far beyond
the wildest anticipations termed during the excitement of
the lira discovery. It 'mon at present that the quartz
wins will continue to yield largely of gold a hundred
years alter the surface washings are exhausted.

INDIA.

THE OVERLAND MAIL.

We have received by express our usual dc,patches
in anticipation of the Overund Mail from India. 'the
dates are Bombay, Nov. ; Calcutta, Oct. 22 ;
Madras, 23.

Our correspondent writes as follows :
BOMBAY, Nov. 3.
. _ .

Close on the despatch of last mail, on thelt of
October, I sent you a few lines, to inform you of a
serious riot on the part of the Mahomedatt popula-
tion, which had, that afternoon, or rather noon,
occurred in the native town, in which several parties,
chiefly policemen, had been severely beaten and
wounded with swords and sticks. By the intrepid
conduct of Captain Baynes, superintendent of police,
and his small force, the rioters were speedily dis-
persed, upwards of 90 of them being take,* into cute
tody, and who now await their trial before the
Supreme Court. Early that morning it was spiced I
abroad that a 4isturbance was to take place, and
some thousandiof Mussultnen congregated at the
Grand Mosque, ostensibly for prayer, but in reality
with the view to share in the riot agreed upon pre-
viously. The came, or high priest, having heard of
the intended row, harangued the mutitude in the
mosque, pointing out to them the danger and absurd-
ity of what they meditated, but he was silenced by a
fanatic, who stood up and told the people that,
as true followers of the Prophet, they should not for-
give the insult offered to his and their faith by the
hpublication in a Parsee newspaper of a portrait and
istory of the life of Mahomed, the former of which,
owing to bad printing, appeared to them to be in-
tended as a caricature, though in reality the drawing
was a tolerably fair enc. What tended most to in-
flame the Mahomedans was that one of these por-
traits, one eye of which was daubed or obli-
terated in the printing, was stuck up on the wall
war the main entrance of the mosque, with some
jeering and ribald lines written underneath, refer-
ring to the maimed appearance of the prophet, who,
in the b.ographical sketch, was represented DA a man
of beautiful and noble appearance. So soon as
the Arab had ended his address in the mosque. by
willing on the assemblage to join him in a bottle for
the faith, they all rushed out and commenced an
attack on the small party of police close by, and
each people as came in their way. They
proceeded to the neighbouring Parsec streets and
maimenced destroying the houses and everything
they could lay hands on, many of the inmates being
severely and beaten. Parsee liquor-shops
were broken into, and the liquor throwu into the
getters. About 7,000/. worth of property is said to
have been destroyed. An aged Parsee merchant and
hie son, a boy of eight years of age, were dragged
from a carriage and severely beaten, the child's eye
being knocked out by a blow from a bludgeon.
Eight or ten police, four or five Pursers, and a Euro.
pout constable, named Sturty, were put hors dr enIII.
erg • most of them have recovered, the remainder are
in hospital. So soon as Capt. Baynes, and the senior
magistrate, Mr. Spots, heard of the row, they
hastened to the spot. The former got a couple or
strokes on the legs, and the rioters tried to unhorse
him ; but he galloped through them fearlessly, hie
sepoys at his heels; and in half an hour the streets
were as quiet as if they had never been inhabited.
Great excitement and alarm prevailed and still con-
tinued amongst the Parsecs, as reports have been
duily published by one English and several Parsee
papers to the effect that to-morrow, the laud
day of the Mohurrum, a general massacre
of every Parsee found abroad is to take place. The
most atrocious deeds are said to have been committed
by the Mahomodans—women have been violated, and
heaven knows what beside—the whole story being
alleged to be false by the police authorities, before
whom no such char,es have been made by the
Parsecs against the Neuslems. In truth, the articles
published in the Tefeyraph have always appeared
to me most injudicious—eulculated to stir up deadly
strife, rather than allay agitation, and the
ill-feeling undoubtedly prevalent. Since the
a company of Sepoys, under a cap-
tain and two subalterns, has been daily posted in
the market near the gnat mos9ue Jams Musjid.
This evening this guard is to he increased, and 100
men and two officers of the 7th HiFhlunders are to
be posted in the native town, as to-night the 'reboots
are to be taken in procession through the principal
streets. To-morrow all the troops m garrison are to
be at their barracks ready to turn out should any dis-
turbance take place. The 'reboots will be brought
out about one or two o'clock, noon, to be thrown
into the sea at Back-bay, and all will be over by
six, when it is hoped and believed things will return
to their usual state of tranquillity. Shouldthe rabble
Mahouts:dam get any pretext there will doubtless be
a row, but it will quickly be put down. Ten
Europeans and 200 natives have been engaged as
special constables, and it is expected they will be
permanently retained, as the present police force is
evidently too small for the duties required of them—
only test foot and about 40 horsemen for the whole
island, to p:eserve the lives and property of upwards
of half a million inhabitants.

There is to be an expedition after all from Peohawur
into the hills against the tribe of Nlomunds of Mitch-
am, who base been amongst the foremost of our
tormentors. Sir Colin Campbell is to command in
person, his force to consist of 2,500 men, el:idly
Europeans. There cannot be a doubt as to the result
of this dour ; if we catch them or can come at them
thei will pay fur their misdeeds—and no doubt Sir
Cohn hopes he may catch them. In my lust I told
you that Captain Coke's force had kept Kohat in pro-
pels to the newly acquired Valley of the Dour. l'he
last accounts from him :are from a place called
Koorum, in the Meeransaie Valley. He states that
he was succeeding wonderfully in the settlement of
the lands: the crops were splendid; and the people
able strapping fellows, extremely civil and obliging,
and evidently delighted with having obtained the
protection they had desired. The force consisted of
the Ist Punjaub Infantry and let Cavalry, two
9-pounders, and one 24pounder howitzer, with a
company of Sappers. They did not expect to cross the
Koorum river, but if they did they would cross the
Wurcerec hills into Bunnoo, and back to Kohat bj the
salt custom-houses of Nurse or Bahadur Khail.
Sickness, unhappily, was setting in at Peshawar; but,
once the troops got on the march, they would speedily
Fa all right again. Mr. R. Montgomery has become
junior member of the Lahore board of administration;
Mr. G. C. Barnes, commissioner of the Lahore divi-
sion ; Major E. Lake succeeds Mr. Barnes at Kangra,
and will not now, it is thought, proceed home as he
had originally intended. These changes have
occurred consequent on Mr. Nlansers appoint-
ment to the post of Resident • of Nagpore,
as the north-west papers say,—but it is re-
ported ho is to be Commissioner of the Saugor
and Nurbudda territories, which are to be annexed
to the government of the north-west. Mr. Bushby,
who now holds this latter appointment. being a
senior to the Hon. Mr. Thomason, the lieutenant-
governor, having been removed to the Nagpore resi-
dentship. This is extremely likely to prove true,
but as yet no official announcement has been pub-
lished.—Sir William and Lady Gomm have bestowed
3001. on the Punjaub mission.—The Calcutta papers
state that the frigate Fox and the sloop Serpent,
now at Calcutta, are about to be sent to Rangoon to
demand satisfaction for the insults recently offered
to British subjects by the authorities of that town.
A small detatehment of troops is to accompany them,
and act against the Burmese should they refuse to
make reparation for the losses sustained by several
captains of British vessels in the port of Rangoon.
Sir W. S. Which, K.C.8., who commanded at Mool-
I tan, is obliged by iU health to retire from India im-
mediately.—Lord Dalhousie held a grand Durber, at
Simla. on the 24th October, at which all the Rajahs
and Rams, and chiefs from the surrounding country
presented themselves, and were received with
all ceremony ; they each presented their gift,
and were in return presented with shawls, &c. It
was uncertain when he would quit the hills, prooably
about the beginning of the present month. The Com-
mander-in-Chief was to leave on the 7th, in progress
to Lahore and Peshawar. Sir H. Lawrence, the
Hon. y'ir T. Metcalfe, the Hon. Mr. Thomason, and
hosts of other big wigs were at Simla; but a break-
up would shortly be made amongst them. Mr. E.
A. Blundell, assistant resident, has been directed
to act as Resident and Governor of the Straits'
Settlements during Colonel Butterworth's absence for
two yews on sick leave to Australia. It is not expected
the gallant Colonel will ever return to his duties.
The ex-Governor-General of Netherlands India is

now at Calcutta ; he intends proceeding through the
north-west to Bombay, rut Scinde and Kurruchse;
from this he proceeds home overland. His adventat
I Calcutta gave rise to numberless articles on the nig-
gardliness of the Supreme Government, in not keep-
ing part of Government House always in urder Lr
the reception of " illustrious itichinosd ,
Shakespear has been restored to his former berth at
Gwalior; Major Malcolm, who had been removed
from Joudpore to succeed him, has been appointed 1
"Political Agent at Ovvidior," a berth appareney
created to avoid the necessity of sending him
back to his old appointment.—lt is reported the
Sir G. it. Clerk returns to Bombay as Go ernor, of
Lord Falkland's retirement. We hope this mar
turn out true, as Sir George was, or rather would
have been, an excellent ruler, had he not bees
thwarted in all his measures by the members of his
council—Messrs. Willoughby and Reid. who were
represented by him as constantly and systematically
opposing his views.—A number of copies of minutes
by Lord Falkland and his council on Baroda affairs
have been seized on their way to interested parties
in that city : they had been surreptitiously obtained
from the secretariat, from which office, it is be-
lieved, copies of any document may be obtained for
payment by any one desiring them. A searching
inquiry is now going on to find out the copyists.
The Achilles left on Saturday with a South-
ampton mail. A monthly steam communication
betwixt Mooltan and Kurrachee, eight hundred
miles, has been commenced with the new iron
boats. First-class passengers pay 25L; second-
class, 13/.; third-class, 10!., exclusive of table charge.
Goods are to conveyed at very moderate rates indeed,
and private are to take precedence of public stores.
What:, more: could government do to limiter trade
betwixt Bombay and the Punjaub? A fllurishing
trade will no doubt rapidly spring up, and Kurrachee
will be the highway of commerce and passengers
from and for the north-west.

From Herar we learn that a fight took place on
the ith October betwixt two native chiefs and their
followers, in which about fifty were killed and as
many wounded. A fort was taken, and tome of the
defenders killed. Matters at the Nizam's capital
appear to be in data quo.
The electric telegraph betwixt Diamond liar-
bour and Calcutta appears to be in full operation,
an account of a hurricane which occurred during the
night of the 21st ult. having been telegraphed to the
papers at Calcutta. No accidents had been heard of,
though it was feared disasters to the shipping making
fur the mouth of the lloogliley must have happened.
—There is literally nothing to report from Scinde,
C!Cel pt that scarcely an European at Sukkur was out
of the sick list. 1)r. D. Davies, of the 22nd N. 1.,
had died there in October, utter a long illtiess from
fever. At kurrachee they had nothing to complain
of in the way of sickness, and nothing to report in
the shape of news.
P.S.—Strong guards (a company) from all the
native corps in garrison, arc to mount this afternoon
in the native town—a company of the 78th High-
landers taking post near the great mosque in the
market-plat*. All the remainder of the gamison to
be ir, readiness to turn out, should they be required.
Great excitement and fear prevail amongst the Parsee
community, who are flocking into the tort for pro-
tection. It is nut likely anything serious will take
place to-night, though to-morrow may see a row of
some sort or other.

The Calcutta papers of the 25th announce the
wreck of the river steamer Powerful, at Silver-tree
Point, on the 23rd, during the gale ; the captain's
wife (Mrs. Smith) and her two children, drowned.
The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer
Precursor went ashore at Cowcolly, on her way down
the river on the 24th—particulars not received. The
Dutch ex-governor-general was feasted on the 23rd
by thedeputy-governorof Bengal. Mynheer is now said
to intend leaving for Europe by the Calcutta steamer
of the Bth instant. The ship Mary Ann was ashore
on the Diamond Sand. The ship *Lahore had also
been ashore, but had been hauled off by the steam-
tug Rattler. Several native sloops or buggalahs
had foundered or been driven ashore and wrecked
near Diamond Harbour; and great tears were enter-
tained for several English vessels long overdue, and
which are supposed to have been close at hand during
the hurricans. The Precursor floated on the morn-
ing of the 24th, with loss of rudder, and was safely
taken into the mouth of the Auckland Channel by
Captain Gribble and Master Pilot Beaumont, to whose
skill and during conduct tho preservation of the vessel
and the lives of the large party of passengers on board
for Aden and Suez is minulp attributable. The light-
vessel Hope was driven ashore at Saugor and bilged.
Three other vessels, names not given, ashore.—Sir
James Colville, puisne judge of the Calcutta Supreme
court, on leave in the north-west, has been requested
by the governor-general to assist Sir it. Barlow at
Agra in the 'Wee Persaud case investigation ; he has
consented, provided the chief Justice has no objection.
At Madras the banks had recently in effect been
closed, they having no money to accommodate the
mercantile community on any terms, having locked
up all their capital in purchasing Company's paper.
The Spectator of the 27th, to-day received, says that
the Chartered Bank had, or was about to recom-
mence business as usual, having probably received a
supply of coin from government. At Calcutta five
or six European houses are believed to be on the
point of closing.

The Lahore Chronirk of the 25th tilt., StlSB a re-
port previled at Peahawur on the 21st of tke death
of Dort Mahomed, the ltuler of Cabool. The old
Ameer has been so often put out of the world, that
it will be hard to believe in his death even when he
has " shuffled off this mortal coil."

The first troop H. A., under orders for Pushawur,
was to cross the Chenaub river at Wuzeerabad on
23rd in progress to its destination. Ihe station was
very healthy, and the weather cool and pleasant.—
Major Burn, deputy-secretary to the Lahore board
of administration, has been appointed town-
major of Fort William, Colonel Vi arren being ap-
pointed to the rank of brigadier. Major N. Cham-
berlain is to succeed Major Burn at Lahore. Major
Macpherson, brigade major at Lahore, has been
obliged to leave on sick certificate. Major E. Lake goes
on sick leave to the Cape only, not to England.
A large magazine for the supply of stores and muni-
tions of war to the Punjaub is to be formed at Kur-
rachee. Twelve civil officers are absent just now
from the Punjaub on sick leave, and eleven on pri-
vate affairs. The Chronicle gives the following list
of changes in the civil administration of the Pun-
jaub :—Lient. W. I). Arnold, assistant at Batala,

i Spanish had declined about 11. per Ib. Deciara-
j lions already amounted to 19,109 chests for the en-
I suing quarterly rale, which was a greater quantity than. 1514
been expected. In the course of August deliveries (14.11
i the London warehouses amounted to 3.8.31 chests. 1
Aggregate stock on the Ist of September was 36,672 clieets,
23,00 of which were in first hands. A great part of
the declared quantity it was expected would he
forced off, and if July rates were obtained, it was a. much 1
as could be expected. Sugar was dull, and value, although
it had not fluctuated much, was something lower. In
Saltpetre there was not much done; the article was however
firm in price at former quotations. The value of rice had
further declined about 6d. per cwt., and little inquiry existed
for it. The downward tendency of raw silk continued,
and it was calculated that a loss of Is. to 2s. per If,.
would be suatained on shipments from this country.
Silk Corahs had improved in consequence of declining
stocks ; the advance in value may be quoted at
about d. per piece. Notwithstanding the heavy stock of
jute, a large badness had been done in it at a slight advance
on former rates. The market was extremely dull, both for
/ shell lac and lac dye, and hardly any business had been doing.
In hides we are unable to report intorovement ; value was
firm, and tended upwards. In other goods we have no
change to notice; generally speaking, the market was as
dull as could be, nor was there a prospect of improvement
for some time to come.

---
INDloo.—Advice. from the producing districts have for
some time been reporting a progressive improvement in the
prospects of the season. The latter part of the Sl:asun—
since July—has been very auspicious, and manufacturing
operations have been conducted under peculiarly favourable
circumstances which has in a great measure made up for
the disadvantages of the early part of the season. The
concerns in the higher districts do not appear to
have participated in these advantages, but as they
contribute but smelly to the total nutsturn of the
season, that circumstance will not make much difference.
From all we have learnt from the interior, and all that our
contemporaries appear to have heard, we arc led to the
conclusion that 1,14,009 mds. will be attained, and may
possibly be exceedt d by. a little—way 5,000 rads.
Orium.—Value remains at nominal quotations, and little
or no business has been doing in the drug.

IMPOILTS PROM Et'llOrt. LIKITItiII COTTOX PIECE
Goons.—The particularly unfavourable features which
characterised this important branch of our business when
the markets closed on the 29th ult. have given place to
nothing more encouraging; indeed, since the re-
sumption of busine.s, we may describe the un-
favourable and discouraging features as more rig-
graved. Demand there is hardly any making,
and so much enlarged have stocks become of
almost every article by the arrivals of the past fortnight,
that tt is hardly possible to say what effect that circumstance
still have upon prices. The market cannot be said to have
fairly re-opened, nor do we expect it will for sonic few
days yet to come; The usual effect of the holidays,
together with the disturbed state of the money market will
cause things to remain exceedingly quiet and depressed
for a time yet. In the absence of any business, except
on the must moderate scale, we can hardly give particu-
lars in regard to each respective fabric; we may, however,
observe that we see no symptoms of anything like an
active demand which is alone required to keep prices steady
and work off the excessively lieuty stoclks now in hand.
Woind.xs.—Prices are again lower of these, owing to the
over-abundance of supplies of all descriptions in the market.
We may quote value at 2 annas lower.
. .

PRINTED AND COLOURED Goons: Manchester prints
and chintzes have declined to the extent of nearly four
somas per piece since business closed. The only article
which remains steady under this head are Turkey lied
Chintzes ; every other description of goods has declined,
owing principally to heavy supplies and little or no demand
existing.
WHIM Corrox Metes Twisv.—We quote value six pie
the morals lower generally ; a fair busin as ha been done
during the week at this reduction. Stocks, like those of
everything else, are heavy.
COLOURED I ARNS.—Turkey red has gone down about
one arena the morah ; other colours show a smaller decline,
of say about half all mina.
Corn:is—Operations have not been heavy, and the little
that boa been moved off, has been at a decline of about
six armor per md.
SPELTER.—The market tends dou nwards

" ENTHRONISATION" OF DR. HENI)RON.

NOTTINGHAM, Dec. 2.
The ceremony of formally enthroning Dr. liendron,
the newly-appointed " bishop ' of the Roman catholic dio-
cese of Nottingham, took place this morning in the cathe-
dral erected some years ago on the Derby road, in this town,
under the superintendence of Mr. Pugia. Dr. Hendren,
apart from the distinction he has obtained by being trans-
lated from the Romish see of Clifton, near Bristol, to that
of Nottingham, will long be remembered on account of his
celebrated correspondence relative to the noviciate of Miss
Talbot, and the manner in which he alleged her property
was intended to be disposed of if she completed her alleged
intention of becoming a nun.
