SCINDE AND AFFGHANISTAN.

We have received no intelligenze of importance from Scinde
and Affghanistan during the present month. Nusseer Khan is
still at large, but there is strong reason to hope that he will
ere long surrender himself. Dost Mahomed arrived at Feroze-
pore on the sth ult., and remained there until the 10th, after
which they proceeded towards Loodeanah. He is said to be
desirous of going to Calcutta for the purpose of seeing Lord
Auckland, but it is doubtful whether his wish will be gratified.
Opium.—The Governor-General of the Portuguese settle-
ments in Asia has declared that all descriptions of merchan-
dise, including opium, may be deposited in the ports of Goa,
Diu, and Damaun, on the payment of an ad valorem duty of
one per cent., and that no further tax will be levied on their
exportation.

BOMBAY MARKETS.
COUNTRY PRODUCE.

Cotton.—Early in the week several purchases were made
for the English market at rather improved prices, and on the
24th inst., the above intelligence from China having reached
some parties on the previous evening, buyers were in the mar-
ket for that quarter. Each succeeding day business appeared
to increase, and there are now scarcely any unsold bales on the
Green, many parcels having been bought without selection.
Contracts have been effected for new cotton, but the rates pad
to-day have not been reported to us. Generally they are said
to be 5 to 10 rupees per candy above the following prices which
are those paid before the present excitement in the market,
namely— Old. New.
Broach, inferior and seedy Rs. 95 good, Rs. 120
Oamtawutty, good 96 103
Dholero ... 92 106
Komorah..
Barsee 9l

Mangarole and Sholapore — 87

Our previous numbers particularize the purchases in the
intervening period of the month from Ist instant, which ag-
gregate about 6,000 candies.

Great. as has been the activity of the cotton mar-
ket it has fallen short of the eagerness exhibited to purchase
opium, in which article so many gambling transactions always
occur in periods like the present. We understand that fro:n
750 rupees to 760 per chest have been paid by bona,ficle pur-
chasers, being an advance of no less than 70 to 80 rupees per
chest on the prices recently ruling. The following is the stock
on hand, viz. : Chests.

CALCUTTA MARKETS.

Indigo.—The overland mail of December arrived here a
day or two after the publication of our last circular, and the ac-
counts brought by it of the state of the English market gene-
rally, had the effect of turning the attention of different parties
to Indigo, o° being the safest mode of remittance under exist-
ing eircilmstances. Such being the case, and the French
having
again come into the market, a brisk demand sprung up,
a," r... very large quantity has since found buyers for the Eng-
l's'.l, French, and Gulf markets, at prices as compared with those
'..f last year, showing generally a fall of not more than 10 to Mrs.
per md. for fine Indigos, and of 15 to 2Ors. per md. for mid-
dling and infertor qualities, upwards of two-thirds of the crop of
this season have been shipped, and, taking into account the
quantity sold but not yet shipped, we do not think that more
that 15,000 mds. of the crop remain undisposed of.
We think it necessary, now that the season has come nearly
to a close, to state that, from the short weighing off of a num-
ber of the largest factories, and the small out turn of native
produce, the crop will barely exceed 115,000 Inds., but of this
we shall be able to write more confidently in our next issue.
The Exports of Indigo have been as follows, viz.—From Ist
November to 11th inst. inclusive.

The DIRECTORS beg to remind their Friends whose pre-
miums became due at Lady-day, that no extra charge is made
at this office for the transfer of policies, and that they will be
rated on terms peculiarly favourable to arties insuring.
LIFE DEPARTMENT.

For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a spe-
cific sum, without a prospective bonus, a new table at lower
rates has beers calculated, on which, as well as on the parti-
cipating scale, ONE-HALF OF THE PREMIUMS MAY
REMAIN ON INTEREST AT FIVE PER CENT.
FOR FIVE YEARS, thus enabling a person to assure his
life for 1,0001. on the immediate payment of the premium for
500/. only.
The following are the annual premiums for the assurance of
1001., one-half of which may remain for five years by merely
paying the interest annually at 5 per cent. ; and should the
policy become a claim in the interim, the amount due will then
be deducted.

Iron hasbeen in very good demand since our last, and many
large sales have taken place, but no great improvement in price
has been manifested.
Lead.—There has been a little business done in stamped pig,
at Sa. Rs. 6-14, during the past month; for other descrip-
tions the market is very dull.
Beer.—As is usual at this season of the year, there is little
or no beer in wood at market. Prices are therefore nominal.
The imports last month were 89 hogsheads of Allsopp's.
Bottles.—There has been little demand for bottles lately,
and prices hare declined further.
The quotations are as follow, viz. :
London, quarts and pints, 9s. 81 to 10s. per 100 ; Liverpool,
9s. to 9s. 4d. ditto.

The imports last month were 6,234 dozen.
Exchange.—Shortly after our last issue the Honourable
Company reduced their rate of purchasing bills from 2s. 2d. to
2s. Id. ; this of course has caused a material change in the
general rates; and by this mail the transactions, although not
large, have been at the following, viz.:-
1 tAgency Bills on London, with shipping documents, ten
months' date, 2s. Id. to 2s. lid. ; ditto on France, six months'
sight, 2s. lid. to 2s. lid. ; ditto, without documents, 2s. ld.

INDIA.

No intelligence of importance has been re-
ceived from Scitide or Affghanistan during the
present motith. Nusseir Khan is still at large,
but there are Strong reasons to hope he will sur-
render himself: Dost Mohamed had, on the lOth
of February, proceeded from Fermepore to Loo-
deanah. He was desirous to go to Calcutta to
see Lord Auckland, but it was doubtful if this
would be permitted.
The Punjaub is in a very unsettled state. Sheir
Sing had deposed the Ranee after an attack on
the citadel of Lahore, which lasted three days ;
but the authority of this new Rajah is far from
being generally recognised. General Court had
been obliged to make his escape from Lahore to
Ferozepore, in consequence of a mutiny among
his troops.
The Governor-General of Bengal has issued
an order breaking up and disgracing the natives
of the 2d Light Cavalry, which recently deserted
its European officers while leading them against
Dost Mahomed's cavalry.
Major-General Sir Robert Dick has arrived at
Madras from Bengal, and assumed the command
of the army of the former presidency.

NEW COURT.

Thomas Anderson was convicted of having stolen, from
the House of Lords, one coat, the property of Mr B. S.
R. Adams, one of the clerks in the Parliamentary Offices.
Sentenced to three months' imprisonment.

An interesting case of bankruptcy was discussed
at the Bankruptcy Court a short time since, which hap-
pened as far back as the year 1796. The bankrupt, a Mr.
Philip, of flungerford-market, went out to America in
1794; he and all his family died some years ago. The
debts, some of them of more tnan forty years' standing,
were some time ago paid in full ; and recently ten shil-
lings in the pound of interest was ordered to be pail.
There will remain a balance of nearly 5001. a-year, after
satisfying all demands.

HALF-PAST ONE:

Accounts have been received at St. Nab from Mon e
Video, stating that Rosas was preparing a squadron to attack
Monte Video, which has caused great inquietude there ; and
the private letters state that he has issued an order that no
vessel shall proceed beyond Buenos Ayres without his per-
mission.

In general the terms made with the Chinese Government
has not met the approbation of the public and speculators,
which, report says, is attributed to the circumstance that when
our Illinisteri expected a war with France in September last,
they sent out orders to bring the Chinese affair to an imme-
diate settlement on the most reasonable terms.

The British Market continues inactive, and the only feature
worth notice is a sale of about 20,000 Consols during the morn-
ing' for Money, at. 895. Consols at present may be quoted as
in the early part of the day, 90 for the Account ; Money 895 ;
xchequer Bills lower, 12 10 prem. ; Bank Stock for opening
175 ; India Stock 254 ; India Bonds 2 preen. par.

ADEN.

By letters from Aden we learn that all is quiet there ; vege-
tables and fruits are supplied in abundance. The trade is in-
creasing very much. A ship and several bughalahs were in
the harbour, and had disposed of their several cargoes.
There is still danger beyond the wall. Captain Stiles,
European Regiment, very imprudently rode a distance from
the camp and shot at by an Arab ; luckily he just escaped
the ball by bobbing his head. A European soldier was killed
last year by going a distance from the wall unarmed. —Bom-

" Here, rgain the superiority lies wit') the Irish, the
others holding the same relative positions as in the case of
stature. The mixed classes of Belgians, in chose else the
weight of clothes w.is deducted, ranked exceedingly low-
-13411r. being about the average. We have it in our
power fortunately to compare the conclusions of Professor
Forbes with those of other inquirers, in as far as the Eng-
lish and Belgians are cone( rned. The eighty students of
Cambridge, weighed (with the clothes) in groupes of ten,
gave an average, as we arc informed by Quetelet, of 1511ba.
the precise mean, it will be observed, of the Englishmen
of twenty five years of age weighe I by Professor Forles.
" The superiority of the Irish in point of stature and
weight is remarkable. We shall find it borne out by a
corresponding superiority in physical power, as shown in
the table of Professor Forbes having reference to that
cheira2teristic.

that they are physically as well as morally superior to
any other people in Europe. Our fidelity and moral
superiority have haen admitted even by our own enemies.
Protestants must admit that no people under heaven
have manifested such religious fidelity as the Irish.—
(Hear, hear.) Let their religion be good or bad, it
cannot be denied that they have, amidst the most fear-
ful persecutions, adhered to it with a constancy and
zeal unknown to any other people in the world, and
that during three hundred years of the most emaciating
persecution and oppression, the people of Ireland
were kept together by a spirit of fidelity and love
of religion that made them scorn all danger, and that
they have passed through the ordeal clear and unstained
by crime, that they never persecuted in return, and that
at the end they have come out of the persecution
much more numerous than when it began.—( Cheers. )
I might mention other proofs of moral superiority, but I
confess I was astonished to find in the works of a Scotch
philosopher proofs that the Irish were superior in physical
powers to any other people in Europe. The gentleman to
whom I allude is Professor Forbes, of Edinburgh, suc-
cessor to Professor Leslie, and one of the greatest philoao-
phera in the known world. That gentleman has recently
made a ser.es of experiments between the inhabitants of va-
rious parts of the world, particularly the English, Scotch,
Irish, and Belgians, and it will be seen that tho Irish
are physically superior to all. Mr. O'Connell then read
the following document :
Professor Forbes, of Edinburgh (the able successor of
Leslie, in the chair of Natural Philosophy), has recently
made a series of experiments upon the physical differences
between English, Scotch, Ii ish, and Belgians, the results of
which constitute the most interesting information we are
able to lay before our readers, with respect to the compa-
rative heights of sub-varieties of Caucasians. The follow-
ing is a table drawn up by Professor Forbes, to exhibit the
relative heights, at different ages, of the students attending
his class during a series of years, and belonging respec-
tively to England, Scotland, and Ireland. The Belgian
measurements were probably derived from other sources.
The number of individuals subjected to examination was
very considerable, so many as eighty Scotch and thirty
English lo.ing occasionally measured at once.

STRANGERS' FRIEND SOCIETY.

A Report was brought up by the Chairman of the
Coal, Corn, and Finance Committee, recommending that
the sum of 105/. should be voted to the Strangers' Friend
Society for visiting and relieving the distressed sick in
their own habitations. It represented that during the
last severe winter nearly 800 families and distressed in-
dividuals, in and about the City of London, had been re-
lieved from the funds, the usual amount of which was
about 2,500/., arising from donations, subscriptions, and
collections, and that at present there was no more than
500/. in hand, being not more than sufficient for two
months' expenditure.—The Report was unanimously
agreed to.

ENTOMOLOGICAL NOTICES.

Few gardeners, whether on a large or small scale, but
have frequently had to sow over and over again their
Cabbages, Bfoccoli, Tut-nips, or Radishes, which are
eaten up by the Earthflea-Beetles, Haltica pemorum and
allied kinds. They usually appear in hot sunny weather,
and the mischief they do is almost incredible, des `roying
acres of young Turnips. They are very small brownish
beetles, shining brilliantly, and have very thick hind
legs, formed for jumping ; when approached they leap to
a considerable distance. The larva feed in the interior
of the leaf on the parenchyma, and only emerge from it
in the perfect state. Many remedies have been tried to
get rid of the nuisance, but none have perfec:;ly suc-
ceeded ; it is recommended to sprinkle the young plants
thickly with road-dust and an infusion of wormwood,
The best method, however, of preserving the crop, is to
use some stimulant, and accelerate as much as possible
its growth, by Which means the plants will get their
rough leaves before the insects have time to destroy the
tender ones. For some soils bone dust has been proved
to be an excellent auxiliary, and in some other nitrate of
soda has been observed to be useful for two or three
years. The latter must be applied with great caution,
and chiefly to plants of the Cruciferous order.

OUT-DOOR DEPAR;f3IENT.

Attend diligently to destroyilig weeds ; thin out any
advancing crops to proper distances before they become
drawn ; water copiously if necessary, „especially cauli-
flower and salading ; clear off the vegetable soil, heap
all decaying crops which canna be readily dug in ; cut
and dry herbs.
Asparagus.—Very little should be cut after this time.
Celery.—Do not allow the soil in the trenches to be-
come surface-bound, which it is very liable to do after it
has been' for some time watered artificially, as has been
most probably the case during the dry weather ; loosen
the surface, and continue to water when necessary.
Cauliflowers.—Protect the flowers from the sun, by
breaking down some heart leaves ; transplant if the
weather be favourable, choosing a deep rich soil.
Cardoons.—A few may be sown for a late crap. Keep
those up clear from weeds, and well watered during dry
weather.

Kidney Beans.—lf not sown last w`eek, soW this :
water the drills previously to sowing, if the weather
continues dry.
Lettuce.—Tie up the Cos ki:Lids for blanching, and
plant out successions one foot apart ; keep them well wa-
tered, especially those desi-oed for immediate use.
Love-Apples.—Do not allow the most luxuriant shoots
to remain, or any to -necome crowded.
Onions.— Sow a, small quantity for drawing young.
Peas.—Eartl7,..up, and stick as they advance in growth.
Potatoes.- —Hoe deeply between the rows, as soon as
the plant
are well up.
Sav,,ys.
—Plant out a few early plants, as recommended
last week.
Turnips.—Sow now a good piece of White Stone ; let
the ground be well broken, and the seed trod in lightly;

The Work which is now resented to the public is the result
of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec-
to,..s, which for some unaccountable reason have been either
altogether overlooked, or treated with ...path'', and almost in-
difference, by the , dinary practitioner. To enter into the
details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to
mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical,
which are sure to inflow from indulgence, in certain habits,
would he entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have
no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of
society, by whom the book will not he found interesting, whe-

ORCHARD.

All wall trees will require constant attention, in stop-
ping laterals and keeping down insects; use the engine
freely to them during dry weather. Summer-pruning
should now be commenced; dead or cankered branches

must be removed.' Be careful not to lay in more summer
wood than necessary, for this .is a common fault, and
in cold autumns prevents the young wood from being
well ripened, which often causes a want of fruit the
season after. See that no nails are driven in so close to
the fruit as to injure it hereafter. Look over Vines on
walls weekly, and remove all superfluous shoots; do not
allow the leaves to become so crowded as to prevent the
sun penetrating to the fruit ; stop. the bearing shoots to
one eye above the bunch, and train in the leaders care-
fully without stopping them.
.Attend particularly to
destroying weeds and insects.

IN-DOOZ DEPARTMENT.
Stove.—Supply liberally with water growing Orchi-
dacefe. Those which have made their growths, or are
not growing, should be placed together, to prevent them
from receiving too much water ; shade them during sun-
shine, and only then ; there can be no pretext for ex-
cluding the light, as is too often done by using coverings
tor the house not readily removed ; syringe stove-plants
over-head morning and evening, during dry hot weather,
and give air freely ; propagate any. desirable plants of
which suitable cuttings can be obtained.
Greenhouse,—Give abundance of air night and day,
except during cold winds. Heaths should have a par-
tial shading from violent sunshine ; wherever they may
be, take care that they do not stand close together ; If
mildew appears among them, the infected parts should
be immediately dusted with sulphur, and the plants set
apart in an airy situation. This is a good season to pro-
pagate many kinds of Heaths, but cuttings may be put
in at any time when firm young wood can be obtained.
. Watch that Orange-trees, and other plants out of doors,
do not suffer for water, or they will soon lose their co-
lour ; care must also be taken that it have free egress.
All kinds of Cactaeew which have done flowering, may
be re-potted, placed in a warm moist situation, and have
liberal supplies of water.
Pits and Frames.—The earliest Geraniums may be
pruned down, and reduced to smaller pots, but not
until they have broke fresh buds. Attend to young
seedlings of every description, and re-pot all plants as
required.

more, and are ready to do so again if they dared? But
that day is past,
,I trust, for ever. I would, therefore,
earnestly entreat of you, by every tie which bind's man
to man, not to play the game of the Tories. Oh !my
friends, as one of yourselves, I humbly but ardently call
on you to spurn the infamous thought. Let those Char-
tists who would serve the Tories be held up to the in-
dignation of
.every man, and woman too, in the country.
Such men cannot be Chartists in the true sense of the
word ; they do not consider the misery they would be
aiding to inflict on their fellow man.
The Whigs have now deOared their determination, and
from my soul I sincerely believe them, to strike down the
abominable Corn-laws, as well as monopolies of every
sort ; and will you not support them in their good mea-
sure& by every means in your power? I know you will,
and, therefore, call_ on you to rally round and sustain
the Government in Carrying out their good intentiorig. It
will not invalidate whatyou may peaceably do hereafter to
obtain your rights, but, on the contrary,
will materially
aid you in the pursuit.
I trust I have said enough to convince you that I am
only acting from honest motives in thus venturing to give
you the advice I have. By the, course of nature I have
not long to be in this world, and probably will not live to
see those great principles brought into action, and which
the Major never ceased to entertain most consolatory hopes
of the ultimate establishnient ; " but," as he well ob-
served at his dying hour, "to this end there must be
virtuous instruments, which, it is to be hoped, the times
would supply." It is because I see in perspective that
the late measures of the Government, if carried into
effect, would be of the last consequence in promoting the
Reform we seek, that I am so urgent with you on the
present occasion, and subscribe myself,

KIRME.Muin. —ln compliance with a requisition addressed
to the electors in the town and neighbourhood, by the authority
of the Committee of the Kirriemuir Anti-Corn-law Associa-
tion and the Parliamentary Election Reform Committee, a
meeting was held in the Ilev. Mr. Brown's church, on the
afternoon of Saturday se'nnight, for the purpose of taking into
consideration the measures necessary to be adopted to secure,
in the event of an election, the return of a Member for the
county decidedly friendly to the principles of free trade.
Mr. William Stewart, manufacturer, having been called to the
chair, a series of resolutions connected with the object of
the meeting were severally moved and seconded by Messrs.
Angus, Wilkie, Nicoll, Myles, Doig, and Watt, and unani-
mously agreed to. One of the resolutions adopted by the meet-
ing was very decided, and, if generally acted upon, would
produce the most important results, viz., not to give their sup-
port to any candidate that would not solemnly Pledge himself
to exert his Parliamentary power and influence to promote the
principles of free trade, especially those which relate to the free
importation of Corn and other provisions. A number of elec-
tors who were not present at the meeting, have signed this
declaration, and others are still expected to adhibit their
names.— Scotsman.

THE AFRICAN EXPEDITION.—Extract of a
letter from an officer on board her Majesty's steam vessel
Albert, dated Madeira, May 21, IB4l:—After full a
fortnight's detention by contrary winds at Plymouth, we
started, all things smiling upon us, and had adelightfblpaS--
sage to this place of 8,1 days; when using wind and steam,,
beating everything we saw; but two days we ran 3 and 51
knots under canvass alone. The prints don't do the
vessels justice. • They are good sea-boats, but at times a
little unpleasant. This is inseparable from these shallow,
flat bottoms.: The ventilation answers admirably ; be-
sides making h more agreeeble, the air is considerably
drier, as shown to the amount .of 3i- degrees by the
hygrometer." We have soen a letter from an officer on
boarda, t_sldar., in which ho gives the vessel the
hi;;lleSt-chaacter :AS a. safe and. good sea-boat. It is
worthy of notice, that the Albert and the Wilberforce
sailed together from Plymouth, and arrived at Teneriffe
together.
