NVHERE TO BUY A DRESSING-CASE.-
In no article, perhaps, is caution more necessary than in
the purchase of a Dressing-Case, for in none are the meretricious
arts of the unprincipled manufacturer more frequently displayed.
M EC HI, 4, LE ADEN HALL• STREET, near Gracechurch-street, has
long enjes ed the reputation of producing a Dressing-Case in the
most finished and faultless manner. Those who purchase one of him
will be sure of having thoroughly-seasoned and well-prepared wood
or leather, with the fittings of first-rats quality. Prices from 11. to
100/. Thus the man of fortune and he of moderate means may alike
be suited, while the traveller will find the Mechian Dressing-Case
especially adapted to his necessities.-4, LEA DE Nflii LL-STREET.

In the money-market we have little to report since
our last. At the end of last month the Bank of Bom-
bay advanced their rate of interest 1 per cent. on loans
on Company's paper, and have since extended the
higher rate to all advances ; but this has not been pro-
ductive of any inconvenience. The step was forced on
the bank as a measure of precaution by the great de-
mand made on them for the purpose of speculation in
the Four per Cent. Loan, and has been entirely success-
ful. The speculation has ceased, and money is easily
obtained on favourable terms, for all legitimate pur-
poses. Few transactions are taking place in securities,
and former quotations are fully maintained.
The market, as usual, cannot yet be considered open.
The monsoon has to this time proved satisfactory and
abundant, both at the Presidency and almost every part
of the interior, so that we may expect a larger than
usual demand for goods in the course of a month, as
the cocoanut-day falls on the 18th proximo. Since the
departure of the last mail little has been doing in the
shape of business. The buyers are chiefly speculators,
who cannot be-induced to purchase without the allow-
ance of long credit ; in some instances considerably
beyond the cocoanut-day.
The attention of buyers appear to be confined to
light goods particularly.
Freights have somewhat advanced, and may now he
quoted at 2/. 12s. Gd. to 2/. 17s. Gd. for London and
Liverpool, and at 10r. to 11r. per candy for China.
Exchange.—On the arrival of the last China mail
rates on England advanced to 2s. 1-0. for first class
credit bills, and 2s. lid. for local bills at six month's
sight; but rates have since slightly declined, and may
now be quoted at 2s. lid. to 2s. 11-d. On China we
quote 230 r. to 231 r. per 100 dollars at 60 days' sight.
On Calcutta, 994 per cent.

CALCUTTA.

'From the Calcutta Overland Price Current, July 16,)_

The Precursor steamer arrived on the 3d inst. with
London dates to the 24th of May, and the Pekin came
in on the 14th with the mail of the Bth_ ultimo.. _

The indigo planters in Lower Bengal complain of too
much rain, and entertain fears of the river rising upon
their low lands. 26,341 chests, containing 90,044
maunds of indigo, have been shipped up to date, of
which 14,550 chests have gone to Great Britain, and
8,140 to France. Sugar has advanced 4to 6 annas per
maund on Benares sorts, and some business has been
done in that description. The shipments of rice to
Great Britain has been moderate ; this cereal is very
scarce and dear in Burmab, owing to the neglect of its
cultivation there during the war. The opening of the
rivers has had the effect of supplying the bazaar with
the superior qualities of saltpetre, which have been freely
sold at a decline of 3to 4 annas per maund. Safflower
has been moving off without animation at easy former I
rates. Lac dye has continued dull at unaltered prices,
with little business doing in it. Shell lac has improved
4to 8 annas per maund. The market is scantily sup-
plied with raw silk. The July Bund promises well.
Corahs have come into better favour, and a considerable
portion of the stock which remained has been taken for
shipment. No alteration has occurred in the hide mar-
ket, which is kept well supplied. Linseed continues
to attract attention for Great Britain and America.
An active demand prevails for rapeseed at unaltered
prises.
We again have to express our regret that we can re-
port no improvement in our market for cotton piece
goods. The opening of the rivers, so looked forward to
as the signal for increased animation and improved
prices, has now fairly taken place, but without being
attended by the expected results ; an increased busi-
ness has certainly been done in grey snirtings, and
also in both descriptions of jaconets, but without any
improvement in value, and most other fabrics continue
to be neglected as much as before. The transactions
in mule twist have been fair, with a trifling improve-
ment in some counts, and a shade decline in others,
while some remain unaltered in value. Turkey red yarns,
both German and British, are in good demand at previous
value ; orange is saleable at former low prices. Green is
dull, with heavy stocks. Copper continues very quiet,
but firm. A. better disposition to -operate in iron pre-
vails among dealers. 1,750 maunds of spelter have been
placed at 9.3 to t-5 per maund.
The money market is still easy, and loans can be
readily procured on approved securities, but at improv-
ing rates of interest. The Bank of Bengal has raised its
terms by 1 per cent. The bank has declared a dividend
at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum for the past six
months ; during the last month large amounts of the
Sicca Five per Cent. Loan, notified for payment, were
sent into the bank for discount ; this unexpected acces-
sion of business enabled the directors to employ a con-
siderable portion of their idle capital and to make a
higher dividend than their previous operations had led
the shareholders to anticipate. The share market con-
tinues firm. Bank of Bengal shares are quoted at 6,050
each ; Bengal Coal Company shares have got up to 900
each, and New Oriental Life Insurance to 400 ; Govern-
ment Securities are at 102-13 to 103-0, new fives ; 99-
14, new fours ; 99-8, sicca, ditto ; 106-8 to 106-12,

The New Zealand Bank proposes to conduct
general banking busi-
ness in New Zealand ; and it is expected that, as there is no banking
establishment exclusively devoted to the interests of New Zealand,
tile local Legislature will give to this Company the advantages of a
colonial ordinance, which will obviate all difficulty in obtaining a
Royal charter. Her Majesty's Government having
decided, how-
ever, in no case to grant a charter for colonial purposes, until the
approbation of the colony in question shall have been obtained, a
petition to the Governor-in-Chief, most influentially signed by land-
holders of New Zealand, and commercial firms interested in the wel-
fare of that colony, has been already forwarded,
Capital and labour are the two great wants of all infant colonies ;
and it is believed that the establishment of the New Zealand Bank,
with a branch in each settlement, and with a capital commensurate
with their separate requirements, will afford not only a source of
remuneration to its shareholders, but will stimulate the colonists to
increased exertions; the agricultural and pastoral capabilities of the
colony, its commerce, and whale fisheries, will be extended, while
the speedy development of its mineral treasures will increase tbe
value of land and timber, and will inaugurate an era of so much
general prosperity, that labouring and other emigrants will be at-
tracted to this colony, and thus the business of banking will be
continually augmenting and rendered of a permanently progressive
character.
A retrospect of the last 20 years exhibits increased public confi-
dence in all joint-stock associations, and banks are much sought
after at the present day as safe investments. The London and
County Bank, the London and Westminster Bank, the London Joint
Stock Bank, the Union Bank, and the Commercial Bank of London,
are evidences at home; and it is only necessary to point to the suc-
cess that has accompanied the various banking establishments in
Australia, and to remark, that nearly the wholeof the,e have, In the
course of a few years, witrirawn, in the shape of profits, an
amount of money exceeding their paid-up capital to draw the con-
clusion that corresPond,ng benefits will re sult from the employment
of capital in the settlements of New Zealand, whose affairs are
likely to undergo so great a change from the combination of circum-
stances, which it is the duty of the projectors of this association to
promulgate, viz :-
1. The constitution granted by the Imperial Parliament.
2. The route via Panama to New Zealand, by the Pacific Steam
Navigation Company, whose vessels commence running in Septem-
ber next ; thus placing these hitherto most distant settlements within
a postal communication of six or eight weeks, and in direct distance
1,200 miles nearer England than any of the Australian settlements.
3. The absence of all interference in local matters by the Home
Government, and the cessation of territorial rights by the New Zea-
land Company.
4. The improved relations between the British settlers and the
natives of these islands, from the closing of the long-vexed questions.
Sir George Grey, the Governor, remarks in his dispatch to the
Colonial Secretary —" In no part of her Majesty's dominions is pro-
perty more secure, er engagements more strictly observed, or where
capital can be more safely employed than in New Zealand, or where
a more exemplary class of British subjects can be found deserving
equal consideration."
Gold having been discovered in various parts of New Zealand, it
follows that her attractions and superiority of climate will drive a
largo mutter of Australian adventurers to her shores; it is not,
therefor'', difficult to foresee a great and increased demand for money
accommodation. All holders of land, merchants, and others connected
with the New Zealand settlements, are deeply interested in any
scheme that shall relieve them frau aposition so unnatural and dan-

ELECTORS IN ENGLAND AND WALES.---On Saturday
a return to the House of Commons showed that there
were on the last registration lists in England 409,958
parliamentary voters, and 11,455 in Wales. In Eng-
land and Wales, 55,879 were freemen or members of
the old corporations, 331,534 were registered as 101.
householders, and 10,844 in both capacities.

Further news have been received from China in
anticipation of the overland mail, which left Bom-
bay on the 20th of last month.
The correspondent of the Times at Bombay says :
—" I mentioned in my last that Amoy had fallen
into the hands of the insurgents, and. that the con-
duct of the captors had been so orderly that trade
was expected to be immediately resumed ; rumours,
however, arose of serious dissensions among the
rebel chiefs regarding the future government
of the place, and much anxiety was felt re-
specting the ulterior measures of the insur-
gents. The arrival, however, on the 24th
of May, of Her Majesty's steamers Hermes
and Rattler restored confidence to the foreign com.
munity, and the departure of the unsuccessful can-
didate for the governorship, with his immediate
followers, terminated the dissensions in the rebel
camp. Exaggerated reports of these disagreements
had, however, inspired the Imperialist Admiral,
then off the coast, with the hope of recovering
possession of the place. Accordingly, on the 29th
of May, he appeared in the harbour with a fleet,
stated by the lowest accounts at 19, and in the
highest at 30 junks. He immediately landed 1,000
men, who marched steadily towards the citadel for
two miles, when the rebels made a rush and drove
them back to their boats, with a loss of about 20
or 30 killed, and from 25 to 50 prisoners. Next
day the rebels began trying the prisoners with
great formality. They were exceedingly civil to
the Europeans, placing chairs for all who liked to
attend. All the Tartars taken were immediately
beheaded, the insurgents making no secret of their
intention of utterly exterminating the whole race ;
but the Chinese soldiers, being generally pressed
men, were usually acquitted, It is stated the
rebels are under excellent apparent self-control,
and that plunder is certain death to the offender.
They are now rather short of funds, but are
arranging a plan of government, and propose a
scale of taxation much more moderate than the
former tariff.
" Chang-chow and Tang-wang have both suc-
cumbed to the insurgents, though not without
severe loss to the latter. At Tang-wa the inha-
bitants en masse, though sanctioning the ejectment
of the mandarins, have refused to allow the insur-
gents to have anything to do with the government,
and have proceeded to declare themselves free and
independent burgesses, who could govern for them-
selves.

Some months ago, when the Governor-General
Seu, in command of the main body of the Imperial
forces, was defeated, and fled from the rebels, he
excused his failure and accounted for the rapid
progress of the enemy attributing both to the " ex-
traordinary ferocity of the rebels, and to their skill
in springing mines." The following particulars of
the capture of Nankin appear to confirm both
these representations :
"On the Bth of March they (the rebels) appeared be-
fore Nankin, and on the 19th of that month sprung a
mine under the wall near the northern angle, which
effected a breach of about 20 or 30(yards in extent. They
immediately stormed by this, meeting with only a slight
resistance from some Shan-tung and Kwei-chew (Chinese)
troops who attempted to defend it, and, proceeding to
the southern quarter, entered the inner city there
situated, which in the time of the Mings was, and now
is again, called the Imperial City, but which under the
Ta-sting dynasty has been occupied by the hereditary
garrison of Tartar Bannermen and their families."
The strength of the paid portion of this force is
stated in the " Imperial army regulations" at 5,106
men, but it is known that, including volunteers or
expectants belonging to the families of the Banner-
men, the number of able-bodied men was fully
7,000 or 8,000 ; and that the total number, of all
ages and both sexes, could not have been less
than from 20,000 to 30,000. It was expected that
these Mantchoos would fight desperately in self-
defence. They were well armed and trained,
and they well knew that " the Heavenly Prince "
had openly declared that the first duty of his mis-
sion was the utter extermination not only of them-
selves, but also of their women and children ; yet
they Ilia not strike a single blow in self-defence—
they threw themselves on their faces, and, imploring
mercy in the most abject term, submitted to be
butchered like so many sheep. Only 100 escaped
out of a population of more than 20,000 ; the rest,
men, women, and children, were put to the sword.
On the 31st of March, early in the morning, the
insurgent fleet of river-craft sent down from Nan-
kin approached Chin-kiang. Only the Macao
Lorchas dispatched up the river by the Shanghai
Intendant attempted resistance, the rest of the
Imperial fleet flying in dismay at the sight of the
enormous number of vessels moving against them.
The Lorchas were also soon forced to retreat, and
were pursued as far as the Silver Island. From
this the insurgents returned to Chin-kiang, which
they occupied unresisted, the garrison, among
them 400 northern Mantchoos, having fled with-
out firing a shot. The families of the resident
Tartars, warned by the fate of their compatriots at
Nankin, all evacuated the place to the number of
20,000; only a few hundreds were caught and slain
in the surrounding villages. On the following day,
the Ist of April, the insurgents occupied Kwa-chow
and the large city of Yang-chow on the northern
bank of the Yang-tse, in like manner, without re-
sistance. A long battery of three miles of guns
that lined the river bank fell into their hands.
Not one had been discharged against them.
