ADEN.

The accounts from Aden of the 10th of January
state everything to be quiet there, and that the place
was rapidly increasing in population and gradually im-
;proving. The " Regenerator of the Faith," as the
bigoted old man was pleased to term himself, had been
totally defeated by the Imaum of Senna, taken prisoner,
and beheaded, which has of course quieted rebellion to
a considerable extent. The Imaum, before another
month, will attack the seaport towns of Mocha, Ha-
daida, and Zebid. He is favourably disposed to the
English.

The French had obtained a place called Eyd, on the
Abyssinian coast, and it is said to be 38 miles in length
by 10 in breath. It is believed their intention is to
form a settlement there for commercial purposes.
The climate of Aden is delightful. The troops are
i❑ excellent health.

The following is an extract from the letter of our
Persian Gulf Correspondent :

" Barrack is far from healthy ; 23 Europeans out of
198 are in hospital, and 70 natives in about 660. The
shipping are also more unhealthy than usual. The
Commodore is ailing. Captain Nott is at sick quarters,
and there are 10 or 12 men in hospital. The Euphrates
Expedition is still sickly ; one artilleryman died in his
transit to this place, and five or six others, with two
seamen and some'women, go to Bombay quite worn out
by fever. The Subrow arrived on the 26th ultimo,
after a passage of 51 days. The Emily arrived on the
27th, and the Caroline reached Bushire on the 28th.
The Resident came over in the Tigris, and landed yes-
terday ; we were four months and three days from the
date of our last communication from Bombay until
these arrivals. We have a report that the route
through Egypt is stopped, though Syria was shut up
song since ; the only one now open this way is via
Mousaoul and Constantinople ; it would be 15 days
longer than the other.
" The King of Persia i 3 at Teheran, and his artillery
have proceeded with a large force to Goran, in the
neighbourhood of Herat, and the native report is, that
the King's brother is to command them against that
place, but it is not yet generally believed. Ally Shah,
one of the Princes at Bagdad, still attempts to levy
troops with some success ; he has a large party, but he
is pusillanimous, and not to be depended on. In Ker-
man, Aga Khan is still in rebellion ; he has lately met
some reverses. If any of these parties were successful,
Russia, it is supposed, would be called in to aid the
King as the guarantee of his throne. All the low
country of Persia is in an unsettled state, and nearly ill
the chiefs are at Shiraz, in sanctuary, for fear of more
fleecing.
" The Arabian Court, except a chief at Debay, is
pretty quiet, but only wants opportunity, or the absence
of the ships to go the old game of piracy. I believe
this is all our news. Beyrout, on the Ist of October,
was in the hands of Mehemet Ali's Government. A
' Lieutenant from the Paella of Bagdad is to proceed to
.ledda via Bombay, to take possession of the place—if
he can get it."

IMPORTS.
Opium.—Since our .last report of the 9th ult. there
has been a good deal doing in opium. Patna cont:nued
during most part of last month in little request at 340
dots., when more favourable advices and orders were
received from China, and the price advanced from 340
to 370 dols., at which latter rate a few chests were sold
for shipment per Elizabeth, which vessel sailed for
China on the 2Sth ult. After her departure the

again declined to about 350 dols., and was in no re-
quest until the arrival of the Orwell and Bengal l
Packet
from China, on the 4th instant, with funds and orders,
since which Patna has been bought at 880 to 390 dols.
cash, and 400 dols., one month, and shipped by these
vessels for China. There is now only one holder of
about 20 or 30 chests of Patnalunless the Water Witch,
just arrived, brings a further supply), and for which 400
dols. is refused. Orders have been received from China
per Poppy to-day limited at 400 dols. per chest. Be_

seine holders refuse to sell. The demand, however, for

both d,scriptions will likely cease in the course of a fort-
night, unless opportunities for shipment to China by fast
vessels offer. There is no Malwa, we believe, in the
market, but 420 to -V,O dots. per chest would readily be
given for this description of the drug.
Bengal Pice Goods.—Sannalis have for some time
been in fir demand at 23 to 23i. drs. per corge, for
first quality and 10 to 21 drs. for inferior, at which sales
are now making. Gurrabs, small, are in little request,
while large are in demand at 14 to 14,i ells per corge.
Star pattern chiatzcs of good quality arc in demand at
9 to 91 drs., and large pattern ditto are full at same
prices. Red Curwash are in good demand at 10 to
101 drs. per corge, but the demand for all sorts cf piece
goods will cease in the course of a fortnight, and ship-
ments are not recommended.

Cotton.—There is little i❑ the market, and little in-
quiry for the article, as shipments to China, after the
large quantities that have gone on, are considered to be
attended with a good deal of risk.
Wheat.—Large supplies per Mariam, most of which,
however, we hear has been sold at :3 to 34 dollars the
bag fur shipment to Manilla, for which market there
had been large orders is the place for some time. These
prices, however, are not likely to be maintained under
further large arrivals, as the bakers are pretty well
supplied, and the export demand is not likely to con-
tinue.

Grain.—Stock reduced, and retailing at 21 to 2i
dollars per bag.
Rice.—Large supplies and little demand.
Cigars.—Chinsurah.—Dull at 22 a 25 cents, per 250.
Beer, wines, and spirits, and provisions of all kinds
are without inquiry.

EXPORTS.

Gold Dast.—Pahang is in excellent demand at 29
dollars, and other kinds at proportionate rates. _ _

Tin.—Scarce, and in demand at 161 to 16 dollars
per pecul.
Black Pepper.—Rather scarce, and Singapore and
Rhio arc in demand at 5.1 to drs.
Long Pepper.—Scarce and in demand at 5:11 to G drs.
per pecul.

Sago.—Pearl.—ln demand at 2 GO dirs. per pccul for
the English market.

Sugars.—Manilla —Arrivals and sales at 7,i- to
drs. per 1,000 in half boxes. The stock is not large.
Alum—None. Wanted at 2 to 21 drs. per pecul.
Tea.—Junk.—Market nearly cleared. Ordinary
chops may be had at 10,1- to 11 drs., and the best at
Itl to 14 drs. per t..)0 catty box.
Exchanges.—On London bills are scarce, and there
ore buyers at 45. 71 for six months' bills, but drawers
ask 4s. 6d., which will likely soon be obtained. On
Calcutta private bills are abundant at 220.

Freights.—To England—Rather scarce at the quota-
tions in the annexed Price Current. The Lady Bute
is loading far Liverpool, and the Friends for London.
The Barossa, from China, with part cargo en board,
for London, arrived here yesterday an-1 will fill up here,
chi( fly with teas.—Calcutta Courier, Dec. 18.
