presidency. It is, however, very improbable that
their services will be required. The Governor-Ge-
neral has determined on proceeding to Rangoon, to
judge of the state of the affairs for himself, and sails
on board the Feroze steam-frigate, which was hourly
expected at Calcutta.

ingly. We shall have no steamer from Bombay
direct for the next five weeks, and overland letters
must make the detour of Madras. Serious appre-
hensions are entertained in reference to the steamer
Zenobia, which left Moulmein for Madras on the
14th of June, and has never since been heard of ;
as no tempest has since th,,n swept the bay, uor any
weather occurred of which a fine new steamer need
have been afraid, it is feared she may have been burnt

mat ket overstocked."

(From the Bombay Times, July 24.)
We have, since the sth inst., received news from
Rangoon to the 22d June, twelve days later than
that dispatched by the last mail; but it is compara-
tively unimportant. The troops continued healthy.
General Godwin has sent in a requisition for 12,000
men, in addition to the 6,000 or 8,000 now under
him, wherewith to renew the war, and they have
been directed to prepare themselves accordingly.
The Governor -General proceeds immediately on a
short visit to Burmah on board the Feroze steamer.
The season has compelled a su-pensiou of hostilities
on the Peshawur frontier, and Sir Colin Campbell has
resigned command and is now on his way home. He ,
will be succeeded by General Roberts. The mon •
soon at Bombay threatens to be a deficient one, scarcely
a drop of rain having fallen during the month of
July, generally the wettest of the season ; the fall
up to the present date is under half the average for
the season. Trade is comparatively dull, and the
money market is overstocked.
Our summary of the sth of July gave particulars
of the seizure and subsequent abandonment of Pegu
on the 7th of June, and supplied intelligence from
Rangoon to the 10th of June. A week afterwards
we received intelligence of little moment to the 22d
ult. We have been for a week past in hourly expec-
tation of additional supplies of news of a fortnight
later date ; ncne had arrived up to the hour of going
to press, but it is more than probable that it will
reach by the express at all events, if not by the ordi-
nary mail, in time for the steamer, so the English
reader will a month hence have tidings from the seat
of war probably a fortnight fresher than any we can
supply. The steamer Feroze was hourly expected at
Calcutta. On her return the Governor-General was
to proceed in her on a tour of inspection to the Bri-
tish possessions in Burma's, and to Rangoon. He
seems desirous of having a personal interview
with General Godwin, and of seeing with his
own eyes how matters actually stand. The utter
futility of the alarms of those who from former
disasters apprehended that the climate of the delta
of the Irrawaddy would have proved fearfully de-
structive to our army, has now been most satisfac-
torily exposed. With the rains half over, the
troops had scarcely suffered more from sickness or
from discomfort or inconvenience of any sort than
they would have done in cantonments within their
own presidency. The zeal and ability with which
the engineer officers have exerted themselves to bring
this most auspicious state of matters to pass, is sub-
ject of universal commendation. Meanwhile General
God win, who has at present under him a force of about
6,000 soldiers and 2,000 seamen or marines belong-
ing to the fleet, is said to have applied for a re-en-
forcement of one light field battery, two troops of
horse artillery, 500 cavalry, four regiments of Euro-
peans, and six of Native infantry, which will bring
his army up to full 18,000, or, including the
fighting men afloat, to close on 20,000
a force, considering its equipments and amount,
its vicinage to India, and the power at
command of transporting it by steam, one
of the most powerful and effective we ever had in the
field in India—that employed against the Sikhs alone
excepted. Of this magnificent force, two brigades of
Infantry and two troops of Horse Artillery, are now
under orders from Madras—Bengal is expected to
supply a wing of Europeans, and two regiments of
Native Infantry ; and should these arrangements hold
good, it does not appear likely that any part of
the Bombay army will be permitted to join in the
fray, though her Majesty's 83d and 86th and the
Poonah Irregular Horse are talked of—without
sufficient authority it would seem—as likely to be
required in the field. So soon as the reinforcements
join, powerful garrisons will be thrown into Marta-
ban, Bassein, and Rangoon,. and our rear generally
will be strengthened. Pegu will become our ad-
vanced head•quarters ; the people are already
avowedly anxious to exchange a Burmese for a
British Government, and the country will be placed
at our disposal without the trouble of a conquest.
Already an outline of the campaign may be traced
without much risk of error ; and with a force so
overwhelming as that already indicated, the idea
of anything like resistance is out of the question.
The garrison of Rangoon has already afforded us
a sufficient sample of the power and prowess of
the Burmese invincibles. Already in all like-
lihood has the Governor-General made up his
mind as to the amount of territory to
an-
nexed ; already, we doubt not, he is in be
full
.a
possession of the wishes of the home authorities—
cash
contributions are not to be looked for from such
er
a quarter on the subject; and all that can be matter
of dubiety is, how many marches we will reqture
to
make before the Burmese Monarch comes forward
sign, seal, and deliver. The unsuitableness of theo
weather for field service has compelled the suspen-
sion of warlike operations on the north-west frontier,
to be renewed again as soon as the season permits.
Brigadier-General Sir Colin Campbell has resigned
his command at Peshawur, and returns to England ;
in consequence, it is alleged, of his having felt him-
self trammelled and interfered with by the civil power.
He will, it is said, be succeeded by General Roberts.
Three Acts have been passed by the Legislative
Council of India affecting the Bombay presidency.
One increases the power in judicial matters of the
native headmen of the villages; the secon.d and
third relieve the judges of the Sudder Adawlut
from the superintendence of the police and gaols in
the districts, and authorise Government to appoint
a special superintendent. Under this, Captain Robert
Wallace, of the 18th Native Infantry, at present re-
sident in the Myhee country, has been appointed de•
puty secretary to Government in the police branch of
the judicial department, the emoluments of the office
amounting to about 2,0001. a year. Capt. Wallace is a
man of talent and benevolence, and his nomination
seems an eminently judicious one. After a most pro-
mising though a somewhat late commencement, to our
south-west monsoon, we have been now just a month
almost without a drop of rain, at a season of our
heaviest fall. We have hardly had as yet 30 inches
in all—by the Ist of August we generally look
for 60, and often have considerably more. The heat
is uncomfortable, and sickness begins to pre-
vail ; while the most serious apprehensions of want
of water as the year advances are experienced.
The Governor and Commander of the Forces
and their respective suites, and the bishop, are at
Poonah : a few weeks hence they will be on their
way to the hills, and not till November will the pre-
sidency be favoured with their presence. The new
commander-in-chief, Lord F. Fitzclarance, is ex-
pected in October, by way of the Cape. The English
mail of the 24th f June comes from Aden in a sail-
ieg-vessel, and will probably not be here for some,
days to come. The Ajadaha, which left this on the
25th of June, with the mail of that date, returned
on the 13th inst., having run short of coals when

within 700 miles of Aden ; her mails go home by
this evening's steamer. A court of inquiry appointed
to investigate the case is said to have blamed Com-
mander Barker for want of judgment in returning,
and he has been reprimanded by Government accord-
ing‘llrye. shall have no steamer from Bombay direct for

entertained in reterence to the steamer Zenob'la
which left Moulmein for Madras on the 14th of Jun,

and has never since been heard of. As no tempest
has since then awet the bay, nor any weather occurred
of si hich a fine new steamer need have been afraid, it
is feared she may have been burnt at sea. A proposal
has just been started
.by the Commander-in-Chief of
the Indian navy, Sir Leeke, for establishing a
sailors' home on a broader basis than that on which
the existing establishment stands ; it seems likely
to meet with the warmest support. Intimation has
just been given by the Parsee Punchayet of Sir
J amsetjee Jejeebhoy having some short while since
subscribed 15,0001. to the charities of Surat and
Nc'wsarry. Trade continues dull, money most plen-
tiful. The Commercial Brink has declared a divi-
dend for the past half-year at the rate of 7 per cent.
per annum.

CALCUTTA.
(From the Englishman of July 12.)
The past week has been a dull one in all thebrancbes
of our trade, both import and export. No change has
occurred iu the aspect of the sugar market, which is kept
well supplied. Saltpetre is quiet. Safflower has been
shipped to the extent of 787 maunds since the Ist inst.
Raw silk remains in active request, but the supplies are
still scanty. Very little has been done in silk piece
goods. The high rate of exchange checks business in
lacdye and shell lac. The hide market remains active.
Linseed end mustardseed have been largely exported.
Jute is dull. Rum, ginger, cutch, castor oil, and cowries
are without report of sale. Cotton continues to attract
attention for China.
Our import market remains much as it was, and the
accounts from the north-western provinces are not of a
more favourable complexion. Gray shirtings have lost
1 anna per piece in 40's. The lower reeds of white
shirtings are saleable at current low rates. White Ma-
dapollams are neglected, and the gray kinds have fallen
6 pies per piece. White jaconots have further given way
2 scams par piece. Lappets are out of season. Book
muslins are without report of sale. Those purchased in
the previous week were taken for Arracan. In Turkey
red goods mulls are lower by 4 annas per piece.
Prints and chintzes aro in season and selling at full
prices. Woollens are more inquired for. Mule twist
has been placed to a fair extent, but without any im-
provement in value. Turkey red yarn is much in the
same position in which the previous week left it. The
speculative demand for copper sheathing has ceased.
Iron is little in demand, but maintains its value. Spelter
and tin plates are without report of sale. 135 maunds
of sheet lead have been placed at sicca rupees 6.8 per
maund.
Exchange has had an upward tendency since the mail
left, and on Saturday first-rate credits were freely offer-
ing at 2-li.
Freights have fallen beck about 2s. 6d. per ton on
sugar end saltpetre.
The Money Market is still well supplied, but the terms
on which loans can be procured are less easy than they
were, most of the idle capital which glutted the market
having been absorbed. The Bank of Bengal has de-
clared a dividend at the rate of 84 per cent. per annum
for the first six months of 1852.

ELECTION OF A SHERIFF FOR LONDON
AND JOINT SHERIFF OF MIDDLESEX.
Yesterday a Common-hall was held " for the election
of a fit sect able person to boo one of the sheriffs of this
City, and together with John Carter, Esq., and alder-
man, sheriff of the county of Middlesex for the year
ensuing, in the room of Benjamin Chandler, jun., Lei.,
who has paid his fine to bts excused serving the said
office."
Mr. POTTER, the Seconiltry, in the absence of the
Common Sergeant, stated to the livery the occasion
upon which they had been called together, and read the
list of names of several gentlemen who had been nomi-
nated for the office. He stated that in addition to the
list had been brought forward the name of Mr. A. A.
Croll.
Mr. Croll was then proposed by Mr. JOSEPH TAYLOR,
the Master of the Plumbers' Company, seconded by Mr.
RICHARD THOMAS, and unanimously elected sheriff.
Mr. TAYLOR stated, after the usual formalities had
been performed, the intention of Mr. Croll to serve the
office.
Mr. WARREN STORMES HALE, the deputy of Cole-
man-street ward, who had at the former meeting of the
livery proposed Mr. Chandler, jun., for the office of
sheriff, produced a letter from that gentleman, in which
the honour of serving for the ensuing year was declined
in consequence of domestic circumstances, and expres-
sive of the grateful feelings of the writer for the recom-
mendation.
Mr. POTTER announced that Mr. Croll was elected
sheriff, and the announcement was received with cheers.
The Common-hall was then dissolved.

The accounts of the state of trade in the provinces

The Manchester market was quieter, but business had a very
steady appearance, and large orders could not be placed ex-

perous state of affairs in almost all branches of manufacture,
