MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY (THIS DAY), TWELVE O'CLOCK.
We have an overland dispatch from India of the date of the 26th
January. By this conveyance we have received BonzMy Gazettes to the
27th January. They state that " a Royal salute, on Saturday, an-
nounced the arrival of his Royal Highness Prince Henry of the Nether-
lands and suite. No answer, affecting the Charter of the Bank of Bom-
bay, had been obtained from the Honourable COurt. The Opium sales
had gone off at even lower rates than had been anticipated."
By advices received from Calcutta, we learn that the whole of the
fifty. four lacy originally granted by the Company for advances on ship-
ments to England, was expended on the 27th ult. ; twenty.eight lacs
having been taken up in December alone, principally on Indigo. The
Bengal Government, calculating :on the arrival of a large supply of
money from Bombay, pass: l an order on the 29th ult., for an additional
grant of twenty-five lacs, the whole of which were taken up in a few
hours, and would no doubt cause a rise in the Exchange.
We regret to learn that the Cholera has made its appearance in the
City of Nassull, and many of the natives have already fallen victims.
We have received Gibraltar Chronicles to the 15. h March. Accounts
have been received from the Havanna!), of the arrival of the prisoners
sent by Baron dc Meer, they were confined on their landing, and orders
had been. issued by General Jacon, for their being conveyed to the un.
healthy Isle of Pinos—the Botany Bay of the Antilles.
We have received Malta Papers to the 15th of February. We give
the following extract :
" The affairs of Syria seem still to give some uneasiness to Mehemet
Ali's Government. On the 4th of February, the Minister of War
(Ahmet Pasha) left Cairo, and his prompt departure for the scene of
operations, it was believed, was occasioned by a rebellion among the in.
habitants, and the desertion of some of the Egyptian troops—in the
mean time news was received of a battle having taken place in a plain
not far from Famascus, about the 17th of February, immediately after
A hmet Pasha's arrival, in which he himself was severely wounded, at d
three Pashas, Yacoub Bey, and five hundred men were killed, and the
military chest,jatillery, and a great quantity of arms and ammunipon of
the Egyptian army were captured. The revolted Druses, assisted by a
few Bedouins, had caused this reverse."
The most important information we have received this morning is by
the Lisbon mail, which entirely contradicts the reports in circulation
bite yesterday afternoon of an affray in that capital, and in which a great
number of persons were killed and wounded. When the packet sailed
all was tranquil there; the Ministry had been framed, and the Constitu-
tion adopted. Upon the whole, the news from Lisbon is of a favourable
nature.
The arrivals from other quarters are of minor importance.

Bribery was the order of the day at the recent
Election for Sudbury and Maidstone. Some dispersed the
gold more freely than others, but there was rather a want of
means than of will on either side. Fifteen guineas, the well
ascertained price of a vote, were given by the Tories after the
Reformers showed themselves in advance on the Poll. Bribery
has become far more common and audacious under the new
than under the old law, and Parliament, if it profess to take
care of the morals of the people, will have to interfere. What
remedy can it adopt? It hasrefused to sanction the Ballot.
STATE or TRADE.—The market here continues
i❑ precisely the same state as for some weeks past. The de-
mand for yarn is limited, and the prices exceedingly depressed,
but a fair business has been doing in most descriptions of goods
and prices continue steady.—Manchester Guardian.
In a party, of which Porson was a guest, there was
4190 a physician, a Dr. Brocklesby, a descendant of the emi-
nent man who attended Dr. Johnson in his last illness. In
addressing Dr. 8., Porson always called him Dr. Rock, " Yes,
Dr. Rock,"—" No, Dr. Rock," &c. a name rendered almost
infamous by llogarth, in his picture of the " March of the
Cluards.:' At length Dr. B. became offended, and said,
" Mr. Poison, ray name is not Rock, it is Brocklesby," pro-
nouncing the syllables distinctly. " Well," said Porson, "if
Brock-less-B is not Rock, I know nothing of Algebra."
On Tuesday a melancholy accident occurred on the
Water of Earn, about two miles east from Crieff. As a num-
ber of men, in the employment of the Right lion. Lord and
Lady Willoughby d'Eresby, were engaged in repairing the
drim‘dike at the Mill of Dorneck, ono of them, a labourer,
named John Cramb, lost his footing, and fell over into the linn
beneath, and was drowned. Cramb was laid hold of by one of
his cotnpanions, who was only prevented from siaring the
Jattio fete by laying hold of a third.—Edinburgh Courant.
EMIGRATION TO CANADA.—The disturbances
in this colony have materially affected emigration, and our
quays, which in other years were thronged with farmers and
their labourers, crowding to embark, are now completely
empty.--Hull Observer.
As a Manchester coach was entering Huddersfield,
on Tuesday afternoon, a sailor, who was berthed on the top,
and being rather "top heavy" lost his balance and fell off.
ItuttAr. AFFAlRS.—Wherever the soil is at all
wet, Dumfries-shire is rapidly following the example of Ayr-
shire, by searching for the seat of the most hidden springs,
digging longitudinally at every little distance, with cross-cuts
where necessary, depositing at the bottom of each drain con-
tinuous rows of arched and bottom tiles, as closely linked as
red-coated soldiers; replacing by the spade the excavated
earth, and finally covering up, so as to leave the surface as
smooth as before. Thousands are employed in this way at
present, who must have competed injuriously in some other
department.—Dumfries Courier.
