'ne demand was tolerably firm at full prices.
by Prow
no means exten our own grazing districts the arrival of beasts was
•sive, y et there was a slight improvement
in their general condition, The attendance of both town
d country buyers being large, the beef trade ruled steady,
The
fully equal to those obtained on Monday last.
'le general top figure for beef was 4s 4d, but a few very
11Perior Scots realised 4s 6d per 81bs.
The supply from the northern grazing districts amounted
r, 4,800 short-horns ; from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and
Cambridgeshire, 350 Scots and short-horns ; from other
15England of 5OO of various breeds ; and from Scotland
140

0 There Was a c()-nsiderable increase in the supply of sheep.
the whole the demand for most breeds was rather in-
active .
nevertheless, last week's currency was supported.
rho Prunest old Downs produced 5s per Blbs.
'With lambs we were seasonably well supplied. The sale
,pr them was dull, at a decline in prices of 2d per 81bs.
Le top figure is •5s 10d per 81bs.
Calves, the supply of which was good, moved off slowly,
at barely last week's currency.
We had a very active demand for pigs ; in prices, how-

The Sadder Court has lately signalised itself by
another of thes3 extraordinary Indian decisions
which Mr. Norton has rendered famous. A man
was convicted of murder by a district judge, and
sentenced to transportation for life, subiect to the
confingation of the Sudder Court. The Sudder
judges each recorded minutes in approval of the
conviction, and each stated, either that the district
judge's sentence should be fully confirmed, or that.
it should be very slightly mitigated ; yet when the
same judges laid their heads together, the mur-
derer was sentenced to one lash and six months'
imprisonment only.
The local directors of the Bombay Railway have
issued a notification, refusing to carry any of the
sweeper or scavenger carts. This order is univer-
sally disapproved by the European community and
by the press ; and we believe that the officers of the
railway were also opposed to it. It is generally
thought to be illegal, for the railway company
being public carriers are bound to carry every one
that offers. The sweepers are said to be remark-
ably clean in their dress and person when " off
duty," and as the amount of native passenger
traffic, before this order was issued, had been con-
sidered most satisfactory, it would appear to have
been wholly uncalled for. It is to be hoped that
the London directors of the company will cancel
the order as soon as they hear of it, for the
breaking down of caste prejudices has always been
considered one of the principal benefits that the
general introduction of railway communication
would confer on the country. Immediately after
the arrival of the home dispatches of the
last mail, Lord Falkland was closeted with
his secretaries at Poonah, and an order was dis-
patched forthwith to the Company's law officers at
Bombay (the Advocate-General and the Solicitor-
General) to repair to Poonah to aid the Governor
with their advice. It was stated that the Bombay
Government was severely censured in the dis-
patches in question, and from the law officers being
summoned it is surmised that some steps are to be
taken at last for instituting a public inquiry into
the Surat case.

HONG-KONG, JUNE 23.
The market for manufactures remains in an unsatisfac-
tory state. Imports have been large, and since last
month yarn and shirtings have receded in value, the de-
cline on the latter goods being on the middling descrip-
tions. Transactions in the new congous have taken
place
at an aovance of about 35 per cent. on the open-
ing prices of last year.
Cotton is a little firmer. Bombay, St. dm. to 6t. Bm. ;
Bengal, st. 4m. to 6t. 4m ; Madras, St. 4m. to 7t. lm.
The sales have been about 15,000 bales, stock, 85,000
bales.
Cotton Yarn.—The sales have been to a fair extent,
but large arrivals caused holders to be anxious to effect
sales, and prices are lower.
Longcloths.—There has been little inquiry for these
goods, and stocks are heavy.
Tea.—The market during the month has been active,
and large transactions have taken place, at full prices.
The first settlements of the new congous were made on
the 10th inst., and the Don Ricardo, supposed for Liver-
Pool, was dispatched on the 13th inst., with three chops
on board. About 22 chops have been received, of which
15 are reported sold, at prices from 214 t. to 32t. being
about 35 per cent. advance on the opening prices of last
Iseason. The quality of the teas received were considered
inferior.

CHINA.
We have received intelligence from Hong Kong
to the 23d of June.
Canton remains quiet, but an uneasy feeling
exists, and petty robberies are being committed in
the suburbs. More than once a threatened attack
on the city has been rumoured to take place, but
nothing of consequence has occurred, and every
precaution is taken to prevent an outbreak.
From Shanghai we have dates to the 9th inst.,
by the French war steamer Cassini, and from Ching-
Kiang-foo we have advices to the 30th ult. An at-
tack had been made on that fort by the Imperial
fleet, but all attempts to dislodge the insurgents
were, from their favourable position, unsuccessful,
and it is reported disaffection existed among the
foreigners in the service of the Taqutae, and that
the fleet was likely to return to Shanghai. At
Nankin the insurgents continued to fortify that
place, and other cities they hold near it, and the
impression was they would make no forward move-
ment till the cold weather set in. Nothing has
been mentioned of the movements of the grand Im-
perial army around Nankin.
Our dates from Amoy are to the 18th inst. The
rebels were fortifying the place against a threatened.
attack of the Imperialists. The forced contribu-
tions levied on the inhabitants caused great discon-
tent, and many were shipping off their valuables,
' and setting the rebels at defiance. Great distress
prevailed among the lower orders, and it would be
a relief to have the old Government back.
Foo-chow-foo remained quiet on the 12th inst.,
our last date. Much excitement existed, as the
rebels were reported close at hand. The tartar
troops were practising daily. The rebellion had
broken out at Shang-foo, some distance in the inte-
rior. We learn that all the pirates handed over to
the Mandarins by her Majesty's steamer Rattler
had been beheaded ; one man, women, and chil-

dren were spared.
At Canton the import market is seriously af-
fected by the present state of matters. Money is
scarce. Settlements of the new congous have taken
place at from 211 taels to 32 taels ; the latter for
the best kinds. These prices are considered 30 to
35 per cent. advance on last year's opening rates.
The Don Ricardo, supposed for Liverpool, was
dispatched on the 13th inst. with some of the new
teas.
The Shanghai market is still closed for imports.
Musters of the new silk and tea had been received,
but no prices mentioned. The price of silk in the
interior was higher. Money was very scarce, and
exchange quoted ss. 10d. The total export of tea
from China for the season 1852-53 is estimated at
6,500,0001 b. in excess of that for the season 1851-52.
The United States' transport Caprice arrived at
Shanghai, from Loochow on the 7th inst., where
she left the squadron for Japan, and was to return
shortly with a supply of coals. We hear of the
arrival at Singapore of the United States' steam
frigate Powhattan, which vessel was to leave in a
few days to join the expedition. Our advices
mention that the Russian 50-gun frigate Pallas,
Admiral Poutistin, had left Singapore on the 13th
inst., for this port.
The mail brings advices that Admiral Pellew and
his squadron may be expected here shortly.
The steamer Singapore, bringing the mail of the
9th of May from England, arrived at 3 a.m. We
cannot expect the letters to be delivered till this
afternoon.
We have had continuous heavy rains during the
month and very close hot weather. The general
health of the soldiers may be considered favourable,
and the colony is healthy.
We regret to report the death of the distin-
guished medical officer Dr. Bankier, R.N., and
lately of her Majesty's ship Minden. He was up-
wards of ten years on this station, and was greatly
esteemed by all.
Tenders are out for conveyance of the Rifle Corps
to Colombo—a force we can ill spare in case of
troubles arising at Canton.
In Harbour—Her Majesty's ship Spartan, re-
turned from a cruise. At Canton—Her Majesty's
ship Rapid. At Macao—The French steamer
Cassini and corvette Capricieuse At Amoy—Her
Majesty's steamer Rattler. At Shanghai—Her
• Majesty's steamers Hermes and Salamander.
Our latest advices are from England, May 9 ;
Bombay, May 30 ; Calcutta, May 20 ; Singapore,
June 16 ; Manilla, June 16 ; Sydney, April 9
and Shanghai, June 9.

EGYPT.

ALEXANDRIA, AUG. 5.

The. Peninsular and Oriental Company's screw
steamer Madras arrived at Suez on the 2d instant,
with the mails from Sydney, May 31 ; China, June
23 ; Calcutta, July 2 ; and 50 passengers, 20 of
whom are from Australia, and both mails and pas-
sengers proceed to Southampton this day by the
steamer Indus.
Things are proceeding) quietly here, though all
are in anxious expectation of the result of the pend-
ing question between Turkey and Russia, as, if it
general war does break out, Egypt will undoubtedly
be taken possession of by one or other of the Euro-
pean powers.
Said Pasha, the heir apparent to the Pashalic,
has effected a reconciliation with his nephew the
Viceroy, and it is to be hoped that it will prove
lasting, both for their own individual sakes and for
the benefit of the country. The quarrels that have
existed among the members of the family of Mehe-
met Ali, ever since his death, have only served to
weaken their position in the country, and might
give a pretext to the Sultan to remove them from
their present position, should he feel inclined to
do so.
The river Nile is rising very rapidly, and, to the
satisfaction of all, is covering the whole of the
valley of Egypt with its fertilising water and allu-
vial deposit. Meanwhile the winds are blowing
strongly from the north, so as to prevent the water
from flowing too rapidly into the sea, and, all the
canals being filled, the means of communication
throughout the land are perfectly free and easy.
A supply of men has been provided to enable the
railway engineers to go on with their work, but a
great check has been. given to its onward progress,
by the removal of the sailors who were originally
employed on the line, the period of the completion
of which now lies in great uncertainty.
A few days ago, the Spanish Consul-General
here, his son, and his servants, having interfered
in a case between a native mason and some of the
local police, the latter, not knowing who they were,
ill treated them. On this, the Consul-General re-
paired to the Governor of the town for satisfaction,
and he, beini, of a rather hasty temper, forthwith
ordered the policemen to be bastinadoed to such an
extent that one of them is not expected to sur-
vive it. _ . .

'The new crops of wheat and beans are beginning
to arrive, but prices are still kept up enormously
high, even 6s. to 6s. per quarter higher than in
England, in consequence of the chances of war.
Shipping is still in much demand, and 10s. to
10s. 3d. per quarter are offered for vessels to ar-
rive. Exchange on London, 98); piastres per

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE
