business which was manifesting itself at the departure
of the last mail has continued, an active demand
having been experienced for all articles of export from
this country. Sugar, which was in little inquiry for
some days previous, came more into favour on a slight
decline in freights taking place, and the transactions
have been on an extensive scale. Rice has also par-
taken of the activity, and large quantities have gone
forward. In all other articles the demand has been
good, and generally speaking the position of mercan-
tile affairs here is healthy. The market for imports
has also assumed a more active appearance, the de-
mand for manufactured goods being brisk, and large
ales are reported at rather improving rates for
shippers. In metals generally there has been also
more doing, still the demand is not by any means
so brisk as might be looked for at this season
of the year. The increasing easiness in the money
market, which was manifesting itself, has continued
steadily to improve, and although the banks have
not reduced further their rates of discount, ac-
commodation on good securities is procurable in the
bazaar on more moderate terms. Government secu-
rities have advanced in value, and are only kept at
their present figure by the five per cent. loan remain-
ing open. In Bank shares there has not been much
disposition shown to operate. The North-Western
Bank of India and Agra and United Service Bank
have each declared a dividend at the rate of 12 per
cent. per annum on paid-up capital.
The Haddington steamer, with London dates up
to the 24th of July, arrived on the evening of the
4th instant, the intelligence by which, although gene-
rally speaking of a favourable tenor, does not notice
any improvement in the position of East India staples
in the home markets. Sugars still continue very low,
and the prices at which indigo had been sold at the
July sales must entail a heavy loss on shippers of the
article from this country. It is gratifying, however,
to learn the flourishing appearance of the coming
crops, which has caused an improvement in the ma-
nufacturing districts, and it may fairly be hoped that
when an abundant harvest is beyond doubt Colonial
produce generally will improve.

drawers. The increasing demand for tonnage for
sugar and rice having continued, freights have been
well supported and the tendency is now upwards.
Indigo—A pretty accurate idea may now be
formed of the outturn of the present season, nearly
all the principal factories in lower Bengal having com-
pleted manufacture, the result of which has in some
instances been more favourable than could have been
expected; some, however, have not been so fortunate,
and on the whole not more than an average season can
be looked for. Tirhoot has experienced constant
rains, coupled with which the inundation has been
higher than for many years past, most of the lands
having been completely put under water, and in many
instances even the manufacturing houses have been
rendered useless, consequently a considerable decrease
must be looked for from this district. Bhaugulpore
has also suffered from the same causes, and there is
now little chance of its doing better than last year.
The latest advices from Benares and Dlirzapore give
a most gloomy account of their prospects, the Ganges
having risen higher than it has been known to do for
the last 20 years, by which some of the lands under
indigo cultivation were inundated, so that there is
little chance of even an average season from that
quarter. Taking a general view of the whole coun-
try, there is little to lead to the hope that the quantity
available for export from Calcutta will exceed the
figure given of 115,000 maunds, and should the late
intelligence be confirmed there is still room for a con-
siderable falling off.

OVER LAND MAIL

INDIA AND CHINA

(From the Times.)

We received this morning, at three o'clock, by ex-
press from Marseilles, our dispatches in anticipation of
the overland mails, which left Bombay on the 11th.
ult. They were sent on that day in the small colo-
nial staemer Seaforth to Ceylon, instead of being dis-
patched as previously on the 15th of the month.
Much dissatisfaction was felt at Bombay in conse-
quence of this abrupt instance of irregularity, which
was considered to be chiefly attributable to the bad
management of the steamers of the Indian navy, not
one of which was disposable for the 15th to carry the
mails direct to Aden. The departure of the mid-
monthly mails from Bombay was therefore forestalled
by four days, and many persons in the interior must
have been disappointed in sending letters to Europe.
The news thus received is of considerable interest

and importance.
It was stated in our last dispatch that a conspiracy
was known to be concocting in Lahore. The Bri-
tish authorities, being aware of its existence, resolved
to crush it in the bud, and at nine o'clock in the
evening of the 20th of August, Ranee Chunda, the
Queen-Mother of Dhuleep Singh, the young Maha-
raja of Lahore, was taken from the Palace and con-
veyed under an escort to Shaikhoopra, a fort about
twenty miles distant, in which former intriguing
Princesses were confined. The intrigues, in a poli-
tical sense, as well as otherwise, of Ranee Chunda
have been notorious. One of the last was her causing
her son the Maharaja to insult publicly Tej Singh, the
Prime Minister, by refusing to give him the royal
mark on the forehead (called the tiluk) at the time of
his installation as Raja. This intriguess was at the
head of all the disaffected in Lahore, and her re-
moval from power will have the effect of neutral-
izing many of their schemes—at least for a time.
The Prime Minister, Tej Singh, is a decided friend
of the British, and therefore the object of much
hatred to the ex-Queen and her partisans. The
British officers are on the alert. The troops at La-
hore being highly paid, are to be changed annually,
in order to give equal benefit to the various regiments
in the north-west of India.
The most dangerous period of the year at Lahore is
the Dussera, which takes place in Octobor ; but the
utmost vigilance is observed by Sir John Littler and
all the troops under his command.
Tranquillity continued to prevail on the banks of
the Indus, although some symptoms were exhibited of
a willingness amongst the Beloochees of the hills to
resume their old practice of plundering the plains.
Nothing was known in Bombay of the intentions
of Sir Charles Napier. Much speculation was afloat
in consequence of a report received from England
that he was to be named Commander-in-Chief of
the army in India on the retirement of Lord
Gough. He has declined a public testimonial, which
some of the officers in Sinde wished to present to his
lady, as being contrary to the spirit of the military
regulations.

BY SAMUEL LA'MEET, M.D.,

LONDON,

From Affghanistan and Peshawur there is no re-
markable intelligence.
The Governor-General was stated to be about to
proceed to Oude, in order to enter into arrangements
with the King, who is described as willing to cede
the sovereignty to the Hon. Company and to retire,
upon his being insured a pension commensurate with
his rank.

Sugar—The improvement noticed in the demand
for this staple has continued, confined chiefly how-
ever to the finer descriptions of Benares, which have
found ready sale at a trifling advance of previous
prices. The advices just received have not had time
to influence the market yet, nor does there appear any-
thing in them calculated to cause any very material
change either in demand or price.
The lower description of Khaur find ready sale,
Exports in the month of Augu., .
were, 1,81,789 mds., and from Ist inse i.i.;htin
12,867 mds.
Saltpetre—The high prices ruling in the Lon-
don market for this article have induced a little more
inquiry here, the demand, however, is far from gene-
ral, most parties being deterred by high freights, and
the news from home is not of a nature to give more
increased confidence, advising as they do large
arrivals of nitrate of soda, which must decrease con-
sumption, so that there is little prospect of shipments
from this country being large until a decided decline
in freights is established.
The French have been purchasing
freely, and
former prices are well maintained.
A large amount of business has been done in this
staple during the month, without, however, any
alteration in price, the stocks on hand being heavy,
and holders ready sellers at current rates. Late ad-
vices from the Mauritius mention that a considerable
advance had taken place in that market, the qualities
suitable for which have consequently advanced here
about one anna per maund.

cable confusion as before. The Bank which was
struggling into existence, has been arrested in its
progress. The Treasurer of the State refused to
accept the orders drawn by it on his office. Assign-
ments on the revenue of the districts were next pro-
posed, but the Minister would not consent, stating the
disinclination of the British Resident to sanction such
a circulation as the Exchequer-bills of the Nizam.
The embarrassments of the Government for money
were still as great as ever, and the usual results of in-
subordination amongst the troops and disaffection and
confusion amongst the employes are seen throughout
that country.

Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions, in order
that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the
veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised,
and Us true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could
it be traced t• physical disqualifications and their attendant disap-
pointments. Excesses are always injurious; the gift, which when
used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when
abused, the prolific source of mischief, and of greater or less injury
to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on
the nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate,
are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame,
than any other to which it is subject.
This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of
their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly
requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can
be of mere importance than the preservation of the health,
and of the physical capabilities of which every man should
be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy
victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired
in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering
from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap-
plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so
frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are
beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking
for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he
forgets that accurate discrimination in ascertaining the causes of
disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva-
riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the
medical man who can show by his posse-sien of the requisite legal
qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes-
sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr.
LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas
testify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a
guarantee for his professional experienee, which has reference almost
solely to the treatment of these diseases.

The chief item of intelligence from Bombay re-
lates to the discussion respecting the memorials sent
to the Court of Directors from the young officers of
the Indian navy. The conduct of Sir Robert Oliver,
who has long held the office of superintendent, was
much canvassed.

The rains, which set in with such fury in the be-
ginning of the monsoon, had become slack for several
weeks in July and August; but in the beginning of
September they recommenced, and a very favourable
season would, it was hoped, ensue throughout India.
Our intelligence from Hong-Kong is to the 25th
of August. The Peninsular and Oriental steamer
Pekin had arrived on the 16th, with dates from Lon-
don to the 24th of June. The news of the Canton
expedition in April having then just been received
and published in London, speculation was rife upon
the future, and the next coming mail was looked to
with great interest, as likely to develop the views of
Government. All remained quiet at Canton, but
there was an uneasy feeling still existing.
The export of tea from the Ist of July amounted
to 7,371,0001 b., being 4,000,0001 b. in excess com-
pared with the same period last year, in consequence,
it was said, of the early arrival of the new teas. Some
of the new silk had arrived at Canton, and as high as
445 dollars had been paid for Tsatlee. Little was ex-
pected to come down this season.

THE RECENT ECLIPSE.
Pray what did you think of the recent eclipse,
The subject, it seems, is on overy one's lips ;
I presume, like myself, that you could'nt see much,
On account of the gloom of the day being such.
But didn't your thoughts irresistibly run,
On the bright shining fame of B. MOSES and SON ?
I frankly confess that my bus) thoughts strayed,
To MOSES and SON, who eclipse all the trade.
Yes, I thought of the manner this Dress-mart equips,
A manner so likely to cause an eclipse.
Messrs. MOSES, I thought, in the tailoring trade
Ilad cast competition completely in shade ;
And in proof of these sweeping assertions I'd show,
The salt I obtained at their famous depot :
If you look at the waistcoat, you're forced to admire,
The taste of E. MOSES and SON in attire;
And the neatly cut trousers and elegant coat,
Do credit to MOSES and add to their note.
And hence I repeat, as I've heretofore done,
That none can eclipse Messrs. MOSES and SON.

M One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness

tlement. Honour end justice demand that health should form an item

EXPORTS.
Cotton Wool--On the day of departure of the last
mail 1,300 bales of Dhollera were purchased at 100 r.
per candy, since when we have had some arrivals of
this description, and the abovementioned advanced
rate has been rmly established. Other kinds have
also improved in value, and our present quotations
are as follow :

But our receipts have as yet been chiefly confined
to Dhollera. Transactions have consequently been
limited, and as the weather has again become bois-
terous and wet, further arrivals in any quantity will,
we fear, be retarded. The purchases that have been
communicated to us since the date of our last report
are exclusively for the English market, and consist
of—

Sheep's Wool—ln the absence of fresh supplies,
there is nothing doing, and quotations remain un-

Opium—The market appears to be cleared of first
quality, and the shipments now going forward are
chiefly of inferior, and upon importers' account,
buyers being afraid to touch it. Until the new drug
arrives, towards the close of November next, we can-
not expect to see any renewal of activity in the

it is reported that we shall have not more than 800

285 dollars. There is only No. 3 left in the market,
considerable shipments have lately gone forward to
Bombay. The fourth crop will be down shortly.
Sugar—ln consequence of a demand for the Bom-
bay and the Sydney markets, prices are a shade higher
than our last quotation.
Tea Congou—After the excitement of last
month our market has been comparatively quiet.
Prices, though a shade lower, are still too high to in-
duce speculation. About 30 chops of new tea have
found buyers at 24 to 28i taels for Monings, and
221 for Mohows, but the greater part have been
settled for in barter against cotton and cotton cloths.
There are yet about 30 chops of old tea in the market,
which the teamen hold for 12 to 14 taels, as well
as some old Souchongs, for which 18 to 21 taels are
asked. Sales of some low have been made at 11 to
19 taels.
New Souchongs—Musters of 8 or 10 chops have
arrived, comprising the finest marks, but the quality,
with one or two exceptions, is inferior. 'We have not
at present heard of any offers.
Flowery Pekoes—One small chop has come to
market, the quality of which is fine. A few hundred
chests of old have been taken at 17 to 19 taels.

25 to 29 taels. Very fine is inquired for, and has

this tea has made prices rather stiffer.

ACHROMATIC LAMP-GLASS.
Messrs. and Co., of St. Martin's-lane, have
recently obtained a patent for an improved lamp-glass.
The improvement is exceedingly simple, as it consists
in merely colouring the glass blue, and it may be
modulated from the faintest tint to the deepest colour,
whilst in a liquid state. For years blue spectacles
have been used by persons with weak vision, and
occulists strongly recommend the use of them to
persons so afflicted. The effect of this colouring
destroys the red or yellow glare of light, but particu-
larly of artificial light, which is exceedingly injurious to
the eyes if they are exposed to its influence for any
length of time. These glasses, which we understand
are used in the Bank of England, produce a beautiful
blue tint, a 3 nearly approximating to day light as ea
well be conceived, so much Sc) that the_ various and
, can be perceived.unrnistak-

INFLUX OF IRISH POOR INTO THE METROPOLIS.
—Yesterday and Monday large bodies of Mil peasants,
lately employed in Rent and Sussex hop-picking, and in
different parts of the country getting in the harvest, con-
tinued to pour into the metropolis, in expectation of
getting some of the bounty that they had heard was
gathered on Sunday last for their especial relief. The
workhouses in the eastern parts of the metropolis have
been regularly besieged, and large troops have taken up
their positions nightly in front of St. Martin's and Mary-
lebone workhouses, the casual wards being unable to
contain them all. They are invariably accompanied by
women and a formidable array of children, who com-
pletely put the parochial authorities to their wit's-end.
Their object seems to be to obtain a free passage back
to Ireland. At the Mendicity Society, Red Lion-square,
he applications arc more than ordinarily numerous.
