OPENING of the NEW COAL EXCHANGE.
HER, MAJESTY'S VISE
No doubt the reader would esteem it strange,
If Moses' Muse forgot the Coal Exchange ;
And, it-1,1,6,re. as the Queen's to greet her,
By writing on the coals a litt e metre.
My b.;rning loyalty I cannot smother,
Nor yet exchange this subject for anothe%
The Queen, no doubt, will find her subjects give her
A very warm reception on the river.
Success, I say, to that commercial scheme
Whoee memorable opening forms my theme ;
For, oh ! each portion of the plc is rife,
With fond ideas of home and homely life.
And now, shall I be quitting tee sublime,
By introducing Moses in my rhyme ?
No: Moses, Who have long enjoyed control,
Are no in trade —I don't mean knobs of coal.
Moss and Son's attire is so well made
That it has long en -ured a flare-up trade.
Moses and Son, whose words ne'er end in smoke,
Have given monopoly a timely p ,he ;
May I not add, too, that the Coal Exc'ange
I-, not by any means the sole Exchange ?
Moses and Son at their Depot arrange,
To exchange your goods without a word's exchange;
And hence it is that such a stir is made
By Messrs. Moses in their flaming trade.

[ADVERTISEMENT.j—A Most Inveterate Skin Di-
sease Cured by Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—James Haz-
litt, millwright of Nenagh, county of Donegal, was afflicted
with a dreadful skin disease, being covered with sores from the
ear to the elbow, ar.d down the right side, which rendered him
totally unable to work at his trade. His malady was of so ma-
lignant a nature that he became a loathsome object of pity.
In this state he was presented with some of Holloway's Oint-
ment and Pills, and by persevering in the use of these wonder-
ful remedies for a few weeks he has been soundly cured, and is
now able to resume his laborious occupation.—Sold by all
Druggists, and at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244,

The news from the Punjaub is almost entirely t
mere detail of the movements of the troops who form
the army of occupation. In several of the stations
much sickness had prevailed. At Wyzeerabad
upwards of twenty Europeans had been strua
down by apoplexy on the 13th of August, and the
subsidence of the floods had been everywhere fol-
lowed by increased mortality. At Moultan almost
all the Europeans were suffering from fever. The
cold weather was, however, setting in, and the sickness
was decreasing.
Sir C. Napier and the Governor-General were to
leave Simla about the end of October, the former
proceeding to Peshawur on a tour of inspection.
We subjoin colious extracts from the Indian
papers.

(From the Bo: bay Times, Sept. 17.)
With the present mail we resume our mid monthly
summaries, interrupted since May, when they could
only be transmitted by the circuit of Madras, direst
communication with Aden being confined to one
dispatch during the storms of the south-west monsoon.
At the date of the last issue the rains were believed
to be over, and an unusually favourable season was
upposed to have passed. On the 2d instant they re
turned, and have ever since prevailed with all the
violence of the wildest period of the monsoon. Within
the past fortnight 21 inches have fallen, and the fall at
Bombay up to the present time is 110 inches, or con-
siderably more than a third above our average. It has
only twice exceeded this during the past thirty-two
years. All over the country it has been propor-
tionately heavy. The famous fort of Moultan, with
its moiques, bomb-proof wane and bastions, which
for three months bade defiance to nearly one hun•
dred British cannon, has in a few hours been
levelled by the rain and the river Chenaub, the buildings
being all of mud or unburnt brick. On the 13th
of August the enormous dome of Bhawul Huk fell
with a tremendous crash which made the earth tremble,
and building after building from this time continued
to give way. The ditch was full of water, and the
counterscarp and curtains began to slip in. On the
23d the river broke throughll bound.,
he country everywhere. It entered the fort and
levelled it; it approached the precincts of the city,
swallowing up everything before it. By the 26th
the country was one vast sea, studded with trees and
speckled with islands, the occupants communicating
‘vih each other by inflated skins, empty earthen vessels,
pumpkin shells, planks, rafts, and boats. Much ap-
prehension was entertained of suffering from scarcity,
and afterwards from sickness, until the ground become
fit for crops. The flood which thus swept all before
it at Moultan on the 23d and the following
days had deluged the country around Shahpore-
-200, or by the course of the stream 300, miles higher
up on the 19th—thus travelling at the rate of 70 miles a
day, or about three miles an hour, the country all along
being perfectly flat. We have not heard whether the three
rivers united flowing past Moultan had been flooded by
the rains or not. The Jhelum must have been.
swollen by some enormous fall of rain in the moun-
tains of Cashmere and Jamoo, amongst which it takes
its rise. These rains must have fallen simultaneously
with those which levelled the Bhawul Huk, which
tell in the whole of the north-west provinces, and
relieved Ceylon from the fear of scarcity. The
cholera, which at the commencement of the month
prevailed amongst the shipping, was by the judicious
measures adopted speedily abated ; it has since re-
appeared, but in a mitigated form, and has not proved
very fatal. At Jaulnah, in the Madras territories,
its ravages have been fearful—four British officers
having been cut off by it in the course of a week. It
prevails to some extent amongst the troops at Poonah,
and a very sickly season is apprehended after so
tremendous a fall of rain. We shall this season
pass at once from the present deluges to the
baking heat of October, -without the inter-
vening showers that used to occupy the de-
lectable months of August and September. The
Governor-General has of late been suffering from in-
disposition, and has been recommended to retire fur-
ther into the hills for the change of air. A proposal
has just been issued to connect Baroda with the sea.
port at Tankaria Bander by a tramway; the dis-
tance is 40 miles, the estimated cost 50,0001. The
intervening country is fiat, but so muddy and soft
for months after the rains as to be at present untra-
versible. The tramway would open up the whole
traffic of Goozerat, and so on to Malwah. It would
not only not interfere with the railway, but the rail-
way company are the parties most strongly urged to
include it in their great scheme. The wealthy na-
tives, who are well aware of the advantages of open-
ing up the country, are perfectly wiling to come for-
ward with large advances if the initiative is once
taken by Europeans. There is a movement amongst
the native gentry of Ahmedabad to get the country
watered by means of a large iron main from the
river; the project has been introduced by Captain
Fulljames, of the Goozerat Irregular Horse, an able
and benevolent man, and an excellent practitical engi-
neer. One village has offered 5001. a-year for the use of
the water, and it is believed that the whole landed pro •
prietora and cultivators around will come forward
in like manner so as to meet the entire charge of the
scheme. An advance of money to begin with will
probably be applied for to Government, to be repaid
when the works are in operation. The inquiry into
the extent to which the embarrassments of the magis-
trates and heads of police at Calcutta have interfered
with the discharge of their duties, is likely to be fol-
lowed by the removal of nearly all the delinquents
from office. An inquiry into the state of the Stamp-
office, the head of which is said to be equally encum-
bered with the rest, has also been instituted. The
Custom-house and Post-office will, it is said, come
next under revision ; and the whole of the public
offices of Calcutta, said to be one mass of venality,
knavery, and corruption, are recommended to be in-
quired into. The liabilities of Major Birch, lately
removed from the Calcutta police for being in debt,
amount to 40,0001.-20,000/. of which are set down
opposite the name of Baboo Mutty Loll Seal, and
8,000/. opposite that of another creditor. At Bomb ey
one of those discoveries of vice in an almost incredible
form which within these few years has so frequently
astonished us, has just been made by the police. A
copartnery, with a regular deed of settlement, formal
books, and a a well ,organized mode of keeping re-
cords and conducting business, has just been dis-
covered—the objects of which were to forge docu-
ments, draw up false vouchers and accounts, and
provide proof of their genuineness—to swindle, in
fact, in form of law, all and sundry they could
victimize. The partners quarrelled ; one of them
hiformed, and the whole firm and stock are now in
custody. We had many years amongst us a flourish-
ing copartnery for the purpose of organized plunder ;
a branch of their business was the burning and sinking
of ships. This has survived them. How many
kindred establishments exist amongst us cannot be
guessed at; the sympathy of the native community
generally is ss ith the criminals, not the law; and
here there is more honour among thieves than in most
parts
of the world—thence the extent to which honest
men are fleeced. Sir W. Gomm is still at Calcutta.

Sir. W. Cotton, Commander-in-Chief at Bombay,
eaves us about the beginning of the year. Lord
Falkland and family have returned to the presidency
ead taken up their residence at Malabar Point.
Ile Right Rev, the Lord Bishop of Bombay has
also returned to the presidency ; his Lordship stortly
roes home on leave. He has been a persevering, dis-
inguished, and successful labourer in his Master's
!awe, and his departure will form subject of deep and
general regret. Sir Henry Pottinger is at Ahdras.
Sir G. Berkeley, Commander. in Chief, has ity this
time left the Neilgherry Hills on his way back to that
mesidency. Sir E. Perry, Chief Justice at Banbay,
soroposes making a tour through Sinde and-the north-
west during the approaching vacation. The Marquis
Dalhousie and Sir C. Napier have consented to be-
•oone patrons of the United E ast India Service Club.
Nlajor Quentin, 10th Hussars, and Lieutenant-C.)lonel
Havelock, C.R., Deputy Adjutant-General 4ueen's
troops, Bombay, are about proceeding—the former to
he Neilgherries, the latter home on sick leave.
An action for trim. con. was some tirre since
`orought by Brevet Major A. N. Maclean, 28th
Bombay Native Infantry, against Captain F. Cristall,
Bth Bombay Native Infantry. The defendant pleads
,hat Mrs. Maclean was not the wife of the plain-
iff, the marriage ceremony having been performed
by a Congregational missionary, the- only parties
permitted by law in India to perform it
being clergymen of the Catholic persuasion or
those in orders of the Established Church,
Episcopalian or Presbyterian. The plaintiff,
should the judges decide that the marriage is not
egitimate, means to take advantage of the decision
s a virtual divorce. The question is a moat impor-
rantls
rant one. If Major Maclean's marriage was irre-
gular, so are hundreds of others india,—those
supposing themselves virinottilmarried persons, rear;
tng a blooming legitimate progeny around them,
being, in the eye of the law, in a state of concubinage
surrounded by bastards. A result so fearful may at
last make the supplications which have for years been
set up on the subject be listened to, and give us an
amended Marriage Act, of which we have so long
,tood greatly in need. An association of young
native men, brought into existence by the efforts of
Professor Patton and Reid, of the Elphinstone College,
under the name of the " Students' Literary and
Scientific Society," have just published a report,
from which it appears that in the course of the next
month they intend establishing no fewer than eight
female schools within the presidency—all to be taught
gratuitously by members of the society. This is as
,urprising and creditable to its performers as any
•ducational effort in our annals. The Marquis of
Dalhousie has caused a tablet to be erected in St.
Paul's Cathedral, Calcutta, in memory of the late
Major G. Montizambert, her Majesty's 10th Foot—a
chool fellow of his Lordship's—who fell at the siege
of Moultan on the 12th of September last.
MOULTAN.

The following letter from Moultan reached us on
Wednesday the sth instant, by the steamer Bombay,
via Kurraehee

MOULTAN, AUG. 18.
We have been visited here by one of the heaviest
`ails of rain remembered by the Moultanese. The
•esults have been melancholy; the town and fort
.hattered by shot, and shaken by the terrific explosion
if the 30th of December, 1848, have been greatly
:ut up, walls undermined, and several unhappy
ieople buried under the ruins. The domes of the
citadel are so unsafe that the officers and Europeans
ire moving into tents, four of them having fallen in.
['he men in the Runner ICot are also moved into
-ents, as the ditch, being full of water, melts the mud
wall, and it has slid down bodily in several places, as
ilso has the counterscarp; and the inner brick wall
s expected to go in a few days. The destruction to
he fort has been very great, and we are at present on
to island, all around being flooded. The 4th Rifles'
lines are drowned, and under water, and the men are
pitched on a small rising ground near the Cavalry.
:fit 10 this morning we were all startled by what at
first was thought to be an earthquake, but it was soon
liscovered that the enormous dome of the beautiful
shrine of Bhawul Huk (injured by our shot) had fallen
.n with a noise like thunder : fortunately the fakeers
were all at a distance—it is now a perfect heap of
ruins. Another fall of rain will lay the famous fort
Moultan flat ; being built on an old site, perfectly
honeycombed in all directions, it is dangerous to ride
ibout, the earth everywhere giving way. A major of
.rtiiicry and 141.3 brier"yam,; noaaply cuvalioWod up in
,me of these immense fissures, and several small
treasures have been discovered to the prize agent by
the ground opening.
Moultan, like Surat, seems this season destined to
be the victim alternately of fire and water—of the
British Artillery and the Naiads-. What Which was
io long in effecting, and then performed but imper-
t'ectly, the waters of the Chenaub have accomplished
noiselessly and without difficulty. On the 23d ult.
the river, breaking through all restraint, came pour-
ing into the ditch, when the greater part of the bas-.
tions, a large portion of the wall, and the whole of
the counterscarp tumbled in. The fausse-braye was
immediately filled with water, and nearly the whole
of the huts in the Sepoy lines fell down. Two com-
panies of the 9th Native Infantry have lost all their
musical instruments, arms, and accoutrements. The
Vizierabad Eedgah, where the Rifles were quartered,
came tumbling about their ears, and compelled them
to seek refuge in the fort, the only place for miles
around not under water. On the evening of the
24th the flood at last made its way into the cita-
del and rendered Moultan nearly as unsafe a place of
residence as it was in December, though from a
totally different cause. The horses of the artillery
had escaped drowning by swimming and wading to an
elevation some way off; and for miles around the
whole country was one magnificent lake, studded
with innumerable islands, on which the people and
their live stock sought refuge, boats and rafts being
the only means of communication. Serious appre-
hensions began to be entertained that if the waters of
the flood did not subside immediately, the severest
privations might be apprehended, if fearful sickness
did not ensue. We trust some faithful chronicler
will be found to give us all particulars of the rise,
duration, subsidence, and influence of this most me-
morable flood, and to determine whether within the
period referred to by history or tradition any similar
phenomenon was ever known to have occurred. The
fact of stately structures being built within the reach
of the overflowing water, and of these having re•
mained for a long lapse of time uninjured, indicates
that floods of this sort are of rare occurrence. The
swallow never builds on the sash window or opening
casement, and mankind erect no structures where
there remains any chance of their being washed away.
A large overflow of water was said to have occurred
some fourteen years ago, occasioned by the bursting
of a bund, which continued ever after to be carefully
attended to by Moolraj. There seems no reason to
suppose that any such catastrophe was ever known in
Moultan as the present.
OCTOBER 3.—During the past fortnight scarcely
anything has transpired likely to be of interest to the
home reader. News of the almost total destruction,
on the 4th ult., of the body of fanatic Moplohs, on
the:Malabar coast, before whom a party of the 43d
Madras Native Infantry had, on the 28th of August,
shamefully retreated, will already have reached home
by the Madras steamer. The Grenadier company of
her Majesty's 94th Foot, ordered from Cannanore,
and another of the 39th Native Grenadiers, from
Pauighaut, the former under command of Major
Dennis, came up on the 4th of September with the
rebels, at a place called Teermanam Coonetoo. The
Moplahs immediately attacked our troops, and, out of
64, all but one preferred being bayoneted to surren-
dering. The courage of the barbarians entitle them
to respect ; they accepted no quarter, and desired
nothing but vengeance at any price. One is at a loss
to comprehend the nature and objects of desperation
such as this. They saw themselves so outnumbered
that resistance was hopeless. They had not placed
themselves beyond the reach of clemency, and had
no point to gain by fighting to the last, yet they
threw themselves on our bayonets and have perished
to a man. Major Dennis and Lieutenant Vaughan
(94th) were slightly wounded, as were some dozen
or so of the men,—two European soldiers being
killed, and one mortally wounded. A tremendous
fall of rain occurred on the day of the dispatch of
last mail—upwards of five inches having been mea-
sured in six hours. Since then the weather has been
fair and open, the total fall for the season being 118
inches. The fall of the 17th was general throughout
the country. At Compta, on the coast, a hurricane
of unusual violence occurred on that day, destroying
a number of large native craft in the harbour. The
storm was felt at Cambay, Malligaum, and at Hydera-
bad, in Sinde, on the same day. Considerable damage
has been done to some of the crops, while others have
benefited by the storm. Surat has once more been
the victim of flood. On the 18th ult. the rise cf the
river'first began to occasion alarm, and on the follow-
ing day it burst everywhere into the town, rising at
one time 20 feet above the highest high-water mark.
The cut intended to lead the waters of the Taptee by
a direct course to the sea, and so save the city from
disaster, has not on the present occasion been able to
accomplish the objects intended by it. The loss of
property occasioned by this calamity must have
been very great indeed. The Nizam's dominions,
like Guzerat, have, it would appear, been
deluged by the overflow of the ravers, swollen by
