COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
CANTON MARKET REPORTS.
(From the China Mail, July 20, 1846.)
GENERAL REMARKS—Owing to the late disturbance
having caused a great want of confidence, and to the
continued scarcity of money, the market for both im-
ports and exports has been in an extremely depressed
state. Large shipments are being made to Bombay, and
a few ships are loading for England. With the excep-
tion of these operations, the stagnation in the market
amounts to a complete suspension of business.
IMPORTS.
Cotton—The market has continued to fall, and is in
a most depressed state. New Bombay ranges 54 to 6.5
taels nett ; Banda, 6.8 to 7.8 ; and Madras, 5.3 to 7.
Even at these ruinous rates for Bombay, a great dullness
prevails, and holders evince no degree of firmness.
The following are the stocks and deliveries since the
20th ult.:—

Cotton. Deliveries. Stock.
Bombay, bales
Bengal, „ 420 3,643
blairras, „ 937 9,589
America, „ 296 538

Total
At the correspending period of last year the stock
was 54,292 bales, and in 1844, 114,971 bales.
Cotton Yarn—We have net heard of a single sale
during the month. The stock is very small, and the de-
mand for the article healthy, but advices from England
communicate such unprecedentedly heavy shipments that
the desire to sell to arrive which has been evinced, has
Ilad the same effect as if the articles were in the market.
The quotations long, are as follows :—Nos. 16 to 24, 30.
to 31.; Nos. 26 to 32, 31. to 33.; Nos. 32 to 42, 35. t 037.
Longcloths—Holders continue to evince the same
degree of firinness_as mentioned last month; the fact
being that cash payments are quite out of the question,
and the export, market affords no article of barter.
When the tea market opens operations will doubtless be
upon a more extensive scale, but the stocks will by
that time have accumulated considerably, rendering the
chance of improvement in prices but scanty. The sales
since the 20th ultimo have been on a very limited scale,
at 2.50 to 2.80 long, for 66 to 72 reed greys, and 2.25 to
2.60 for white.

American goods have receded in price, but operations
have been upon a fair scale—Drills. 40 yards by 30 in-
ches, command 3.35 to 3 40; and domestics, 40 yards by
40 inches, at 2.50 to 2.75.
Long Ells have pretty well maintained the improve-
ment noticed in our last, and assortments 1-111 command
8.55 long; scarlet and purple are worth 9; mazarine blue,
8.80; brown, 8.50; gentionella, 8 dols.; black, 7.80; light
blue, 7.50; green, 7.20; yellow, 7 dols.; and ash, 7.20—
the mark 1 being quoted 10 to 25 cents, below those
rates.

Spanish Stripes also continue to maintain themselves,
and sales to a fair extent are reported at 1.15 to 1.30
long. Purples are quoted at 1.35 to 1.45 long; masa-
rine blue, 1.25 to 1.45; scarlet, 1.25 to 1.30; gentionella,
1.15 to 1.25; black and brown, 1.0.5 to 1.15; ligkt blue,
90c. to 1.05; green, 60c. to 95c.; yellow, 75c. to 80c.;
ash and white, 60c. to 70c.
Camlets—We do not hear of a single sale—the no-
minal quotation for English being 18 dols. for SS, up to
22 dols. for D.
Lead—Has slightly improved, and may be quoted at
5.50 long.
Iron—Remains pretty firm, the following being the
quotations, long:—Nail-rod, 3 dols. to 3.20; bar and bolt,
2.00 to 3.10; hoop, 2.80 to 2.90.
Tin Plates—Are quoted at 6 dols. long, but we hear
of no sales.

•
Betel Nut—Remains extremely dul, with a consider-
able stock in importers' hands. The full quotations are
2.50 to 3 dols. long.
Rattans—Continue in fair request, and previous rates
fully maintained. Good Banjarmassing at 3.75 long ;
good strait 3 dols. to 3.25; and water 2.20 to 2.40.
Putolmek—Remains negleCted at the extremely low
rate of 6 dols. long.
Cloves—Have remained dull at 25 dole. to 27 dols.
long.
Cochineal—Has fallen to 180 dols.
Rice—Has again fallen; Arracan, 1.20; cargo Manilla
and Balli at 1.60.

Opium—Malwa continues to droop ; very large quan-
tities have been sent to Woosung, and more is about to
be sent. The stocks here are very heavy, and the demand
languid. The present price cannot be quoted over 690
to 700 dols. Bengal has continued to be ruled entirely
by speculators ; the clearances have been upon a large
scale, and the stock much reduced. Strong efforts have
been made to buoy up the market, but the fear of the
bazaar drug coming on before the sth sale, and the low
rate it is expected that that sale will go at, has caused
importers wisely to meet the market. New Patna has
been as low as 585 dols., and large sales were made at
600 dols. It rallied, however, to 622.50 ; but clearances
having stopped, to-day's rate may be quoted 612.50.
Benares, from its scarcity, commands the same rate as
Patna. Old Patna is dull of sale at 675 dols. Turkey
is nominally 520 dols., with nothing doing.

(From the Times.)
We have received by extraordinary express, in an-
ticipation of the hi-monthly mail, our letters and
papers from Calcutta to the 7th ultimo.

A variety of reports are in circulation respecting
the unsettled state of affairs on the north-west
frontier. The Seikhs, we hear, are determined to
re-organise their army, but several of the hill tribes
are already so dissatisfied that it is expected they will
refuse to submit. Under these circumstances the
Maharaja's Government has, it is said, already ear-
nestly solicited that the British army may remain at
Lahore for a longer period than that originally fixed
by the Governor-General.

The intelligence from Hydrabad states that the
Nizam has been compelled to solicit the advice and
assistance of the Resident. The expulsion of the
Rohillas had at length been determined upon, and
the Resident having taken matters into his own
hands, the refractory Zumindars have submitted, with
the exception of the tributary Zumindar of Gudwal,
against whom the troops of the contingent will be
employed.

Our intelligence from China speaks of the prepa-
rations making for the evacuation of Chusan.
The stoppage of the Mauritius Joint-Stock Bank
took place on the 17th of June. A call on the share-
holders for the remainder of the unpaid capital would,
it was believed, enable the bank to resume business.
The credit of the Mauritius Commercial Bank was
not in the least affected.

The reports from the indigo districts have been,
without exception, unfavourable.

ALEXANDRIA, SEPT. 9.
The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer
Oriental, true to her time, arrived here on the 4th
inst. with 90 passengers, mostly for India. This is
the last trip which this fine steamer makes to Alex-
andria, as she is to be put on the Constantinople and
Black Sea line. The Oriental has plied for six years
between Alexandria and Southampton, and has always
performed her voyages with the greatest regularity.
A considerable quantity of Turkey opium is now
sent by way of Egypt to China. The Peninsular
and Oriental Company's steamers receive this drug at
Smyrna, whence they convey it to Malta, there it is
put on board the steamers bound for Alexandria, it
crosses Egypt, and is re-shipped on board of the
steamer waiting at Suez, which conveys it to Hong-
Kong. Although the charges of the Peninsular and
Oriental Company are high, it is more economical to
send opium to China by way of Egypt than by a sail-
ing vessel first from Turkey to England, and then
round the Cape to its destination, as the loss of inte-
rest alone sustained by the longer route amounts even
to more than the heavy freight charged by the Penin-
sular and Oriental Company's steamers.
The Viceroy's arrival at Cairo from Alexandria was
celebrated with three days' illuminations and fire-
works in the citadel. His Highness was, however,
fain to come back to Alexandria, on account of the
great heat prevailing at the capital, and he returned
here on the 2d inst., by way of Rosetta.

Mehemet Ali has just concluded an arrangement
with a Greek merchant for the payment to the Sultan
of the yearly tribute of one million and a third of
dollars, nearly 270,0001. sterling, due by his High-
ness to the Porte.

The Viceroy continues to wear the Turkish dress,
which so ill befits him, and in consequence all the
employil-of the Government are under the necessity
of following his example. Some of them, and parti-
cularly the fat and lazy men of rank; look very much
out of their element in their new costume. The
Pacha has also reduced his fine flowing beard to about
a hand's breadth from the chin, conforming himself
in this respect to the Constantinople fashion and the
precepts of the Koran.

This alteration in dress is considered by some as
an improvement, as making the Turks and Arabs
more similar in appearance to Europeans, and
bringing them in closer contact with European ci-
vilization.

His Highness Ibrahim Pacha is living quietly at
his palace on the Nile, near Cairo, pursuing his
favourite occupation of the direction of his farms,
selling the produce yielded by them, and thereby
accumulating money. His Highness still talks
about his travels in Europe, and now that he has

ha 1 time to ponder quietly over what he has seen,
and compare the impressions made upon him by the
differe; t countries he has seen, it is very satisfactory
to Englishmen to hear his Highness pass the warmest
eulogiums on Great Britain, its institutions and its
industry. His highness has said that England is far
advanced of the ether Powers, and is making rapid
strides onwards, whilst the latter are very slow in
their progress.
Researches are still being carried on in various
parts of Egypt for fossile mines, and some small
quantities of an inferior quality of coal have been
discovered in the upper country, near to the town
of Keneh. The reports of the English engineers
employed in these researches are not favourable.
However, since Ibrahim Pacha's return from Eng-
land, he has taken great interest in them, and Me-
hemet Ali evinces great anxiety for success, so that
the works are being pushed on with vigour. The
opinion expressed by many geologists is, however,
that the soil of Egypt and the surrounding desert, is
not adapted for the formation of coal, and that this
fossile will never be found in sufficient quantity to
defray the expenses of working it.
There has been a slight disturbance in the Shar-
keeyeh, or eastern province of the Delta, but it was
caused only by a few fellahs resenting the extortions
of their superiors, and it was soon put down.
The French war-steamer Gr6geois arrived here on
the 2d instant from Algiers and Tunis with a cargo
of Arab pilgrims bound for Mecca. To conciliate
the Arabs the French send a steamer every year to
Alexandria for the accommodation of those intending
to visit the shrine of the Prophet at the Hedjaz.
Ahmed Bey, Chamberlain to the Sultan Abd-al-
Medjid, who accompanied the Viceroy on his recent
visit to Constantinople, returned here yesterday from
Cairo, and proceeds to Constantinople to-morrow, in
the steamer Nile, which has been newly painted and
handsomely fitted out for the purpose.
The chief Rabbi of the Jews died at Cairo last
week. An intimation of this event having been
given to the Government, Ibrahim Pacha, with a de-
gree of toleration and freedom from bigotry which,
considering that his Highness is a Mussulman, is de-
serving of great praise, sent a company of 100 sol-
diers and a military band to join the funeral proces-
sion and do honour to the defunct.
Intelligence has been received from Beyrout up to
the 6th, and Damascus to the 3d inst. The accounts
from Syria present nothing of interest. There is the
usual monthly-occurring changes in the Governors of
the provinces,---a new Pacha for Damascus, a new
Pacha for Aleppo, and a new Pacha for Saida,----a mos

ruinous system for the country, as the various Pachas
knowing that the tenure of their offices is very limited
make most of their time by using all possible means to
extort money from the natives, without caring for the
consequences. Throughout Syria great interest seems
to have been taken in Mehemet Ali's late visit to Con-
stantinople, which the natives connected in their minds
with his return to power in that country—an event which
to all appearance would be hailed with pleasure by
Christians, Moslems, and Jews. The present system
of government in the mountains, carried out
as recommended by the European Powers, does not
seem to act satisfactorily. 10,000 Russian Jews
were expected to arrive in the Holy Land to settle
there. This number will add about a third to the

present Jewish population in Syria and Palestine.
Great preparations were being made for giving un-
usual splendour to the caravan of pilgrims which is to
start at the end of this month from Damascus for
Mecca, and the mother of the Shah of Persia was

expected to accompany it. The Sultan has sent out
from Constantinople engineers and workmen to re-
build and repair the different caravansaries and for-
tresses on the Hadj, or Pilgrim-road, from Damascus
to Mecca.

It was reported at Beyrout that the Pacha -if Jeru-
salem had, by treachery as usual, seized upon the
persons of the principal chiefs in his district, and
amongst others, the famous Sheikh Abou Gosh, who
has for a long period given so much trouble to the
Turkish Government.

FIVE O'CLOCK, P.M.
No intelligence has up to this hour been received
of the arrival at Suez of the Hindostan, which was
expected there from Calcutta on the sth inst.

The French steamer, Egyptus, sails for Marseilles
direct early to-morrow morning.
ALEXANDRIA, SEPT. 10, Two A.M.
Intelligence has just been received here of the
arrival at Suez yesterday of the Peninsular and Ori-
ental Company's steamer Precursor from Calcutta,
which place she left on the Bth of August.
There is no news of importance.

By this opportunity we have not received from
Bombay any later dates than those brought by the
Akbar, which sailed from Bombay on the sth of
August.

COAIMERCIAL REPORT.
We have to announce the receipt, since our last issue,
of two dispatches from home, one via Bombay, on the
18th ult., with London dates to the Bth of June, and the
other by the Bentinck steamer, on the 4th curt., with

intelligence up to the 24th of the same month. The
advices by the former opportunity were, generally
speaking, of so undecided a tenour that they had but
little effect on our markets, with the exception of
causing a general feeling of disappointment at the ex-
tremely limited extent of the draughts on this Trea-
sury ; and although by the latter the accounts of some
of our staple exports were rather more satisfactory, the
amount of remittances was again so moderate that it is
not to any encouragement from home that the somewhat

improved state of affairs that we have to report can be
attributed.

The pressure in our money-market has been gradu-
ally decreasing throughout the past three we€ks, in con •
sequence, in some degree, of the payments of dividends
on Bank Stock and of interest on one of the Govern-
ment loans, but more particularly from the receipt of
extensive remittances from China and Bombay, and also
to a moderate extent from the interior ; this ren-
dered the demand for accommodation less extensive,
and enabled the directors of the banks to reduce
their rates one per cent., which had the immediate
effect of lowering the rates of discount generally, and
inducing the parties who had hitherto kept their funds
locked up to bring them forward, and secure the com-
paratively favourable terms even then obtainable; under
these circumstances the prompt of the last opium sale,
which fell due on the 29th ult., was met with even less
than the usual excitement; and although it is not to be
expected that the effects of the late panic can be imme-
diately got over, there appears every symptom of a
gradual improvement. _

- Our exchange on England has been very unsettled;
for some time after our last issue good ten months' date
paper ranged from 2s. 2id. to 2s. 3d. per rupee; subse-
quently, however, a steady decline was observable, the
rates falling from 2s. 2d. to 2s. lid., and shortly previous
to the arrival of the Bentinck to 2a. old.. at all of which
considerable operations were reported; this decline was
by some attributed to the improvement in the money-
market enabling the native dealers to take delivery of,
and pay for, their former purchases more freely than
they had previously been in a position to do, thereby
placing importers in funds, which. they in most instances
immediately invested in the purchase of bills; but anothe-r
reason evidently was the anticipation of heavy remit-
tances by the mail just in, in consequence of the report
by the previous opportunity of the Court of Directors
being about to reduce their rate for draughts on this
Treasury, and this having proved unfounded, and the
amount received being extremely moderate, buyers
have since been manifesting rather less disposition to
operate, and a slightly upward tendency is again ob-
servable.

Government securities have been rapidly regaining
their position, and a short time since some heavy trans-
actions were effected at our quotations, which are still
the rates of the day, although within the past few days
there has been rather less doing. In Bank Stock but
few sales have been reported, the large dividends lately
declared having rendered holders unwilling to realise
except at higher rates than purchasers are willing to pay.
The late scarcity of money in the upper provinces, and
the impossibility of negotiating draughts on Calcutta, is
the cause of our market being less abundantly sup-
plied with produce than is customary at this season, and
consequently of the business done within the past month
being on a somewhat moderate scale, as well as of prices
being maintained ; and in fact of their having, in some
cases, slightly advanced, as will be seen by our remarks
on the various staples.
In our import market there has of late been rather
more activity observable, but still neither the amount
of business doing, nor the prices obtainable, are at all
satisfactory, or what might have been anticipated from
the improvement in other branches of trade, and from
the season of the year.

Freights have not very materially varied ; shortly
after our last a slight decline was submitted to, but they
again rallied, and within the past few days have further
advanced to our quotations, notwithstanding rather nu-
merous arrivals.

Indigo—A very material alteration has taken place
in the prospects of the crop within the past month, in
consequence of a sudden rise ot the rivers in some dis-
tricts, and continued heavy rainin all. In many parts of
Jessore the probabiltity of an early inundation induced
the planters to commence manufacture before the plant was
quite ripe, and when the state of the weather rendered
the produce anything bat satisfactory; since this an oc-
casional glimpse of fine weather has been experienced, but
there is uow no chance of this district reaching last

I year's out-turn. We stated in our last, that a'thoegh
many concerns in li'shringur and Baje-tbaye had plenty
of plant, they would require unusually fine weather and
low rivers to enit,lo them t., do arj go d,c),d 'Ur
anti-
cipations as to the itnprob%bdity of this. ho-e been fully
r, alised, constant rains ha empletely ruin: d the
late sowings, and rersiered the ,esL.,L even of the earlier
ones very uncertain, so much so in fact diet the estimates
from some fare c.mcerns range from 50 to 75 per cent.
under last year. In M dda a great part of Moor-
shedabad the weather has been equally unfavourable,
and caused a considerable reduction in the expectations
of the planters, although not to the same extent as in the
districts previously noticed.
When we last wrote, Tirhoot was expected to send
down something under an average season, or about 20,000
maunds ; from this may now be deducted fully one-half,
a fortnight of rain such as had never previously been
experienced, combined with a sudden rise in the Bau-
gruttee and Gunduck, having reduced the prospects of
some concerns to an eighth or even a tenth of what they
made last year, whilst those that make the halt will be
fortunate. We have seen a list of several concerns
which last year aggregated nearly 9,000 maunds, and
which are now estimated at about 2,000. Fine weather
up to the conclusion of the season would doubtless cause
some improvement, but we are of opinion that 10,000
maunds is the utmost that can be looked for from this
district, whilst a continuance of the rain, or further rise
of the rivers, would probably reduce it to 6,000 or 8,000.
The accounts from Bhaugulpore are also unfavourable,
and it does not seem probable this district will much ex-
ceed the half of last season's out-turn.
Our advices from the neighbourhood of Mirzapore and
Ghazepore are leis favourable than when we last wrote ;
the unusually late drought having in these, as in other
districts, been succeeded by constant rain, and some
large concerns have reduced their estimates by one-
fourth. Higher up and in the Doab, however, they have
been more fortunate, and still anticipate a good season,
but as they have scarcely as yet commenced manufac-
ture, it is very uncertain whether their expectations will
be realised. Dacca, Furreedpore, and the neighbour-
hood, have been in every respect most fortunate; but
although these are now closing with fair results, the
slight excess from them will go but a small way to make
up for the deficiency in other parts; and although still
unwilling to name a definite figure, we think we are safe
in saying that there is every prospect of the total out-
turn being under 90,000 maunds.
Sugar—There has been a fair amount of business
doing in this staple throughout the past month. The
demand having apparently been but little affected by the
fluctuation in exchange, or even by the accounts from
home; all good yellow or dry brown descriptions have
found an immediate sale on arrival at comparatively high
prices, but the supply of these has continued very
limited. Benares has been arriving more freely, although
not to near the customary extent, and consists in a great
measure of low to middling second qualities, which have
been taken at 10r. to 10r. 4a., with a few parcels of really
fine white at 10r. 10a. to 10r. 12a. per maund, whilst
within the past few days, owing to a more general in •
quiry, a further slightly upward tendency has been ob-
servable. In Khaur there has been nothing doing ex-
cept for local re-manufacture. Exports to Great Britain
of all descriptions from the Ist inst. up to date amount
to 46,671 maunds.
Saltpetre—The inactivity in this market reported in
our last continued for some time, and prices slightly
declined; this, however, again brought purchasers into
the market, and there has of late been a good demand
for Great Britain, at especially for the finer descriptions
full prices, notwithstanding that freight has not been
obtainable on first-class ships under 41. 4s. to 4L is. 6d.
per ton. For America we have heard of but few pur-
chases.
Exports from the Ist instant up to date have been as
follows, viz. '—Great Britain, 6,249 mauuds; North Ame-
rica, 465 maunds.
Rice—Notwithstanding that the advices from England
have of late been rather more encouraging for this staple,
it has continued entirely neglected for homeward ship-
ment, and prices are completely nominal.
For Mauritius and Bourbon a good inquiry has been
experienced, and Ballam and Moonghy have been taken
to some extent at about our last quotations.
Raw Silk—There has within the past three weeks
been more activity in this market, owing to several par-
ties having come forward to purchase, being apparently
tempted by the great falling off in the exports from this
part (those of the twelve months, ending 31st July, being
only 15,954 maunds, against 19,721 and 22,160 for the
same period of the two preceding years), and by the
somewhat improved demand for some descriptions of
Bengal Silk at home, as advised by the past mail or two,
as well as by the downward tendency of exchange.
Silk Piece Goods—A moderate amount of business
has been done in Corahs during the month, at for low
Gossimbazar goods, of which, with few exceptions,
stocks entirely consist, at 95r. to 105 r. per cargo; su-
perior, or even fair qualities, continue scarce, and would
bring high prices. In choppas or bandannas we have
but few sales to report, the only parcels in the market
being of very inferior qualit3.
Shell Lac and Lac Dye—Shell Lac has been in mode-
rate inquiry for England and America, and a few parcels
of middling Beerbhooms have found purchasers at Br. to
9r. per maund.
In Lac Dye there has been even less doing, and al-
most entirely in low and middling qualities, so that for
this article our quotations for most marks are necessarily
nominal.
Oil Seeds—There has been rather more doing in these
seeds for the Engli.h and French markets, owing to the
comparatively 'moderate demand for America having
compelled holders to submit to a decline, and also to
freight having in some instances been obtained on ships
anxious to fill up at a considerable reduction on the es-
tablished rates. Linseed has sold from ir. 10a. to 2r.
2a., but in very few instances has the latter figure been
obtained, and mustard seed at about ir. 12a. to lr. 14a.
for the best cleared.
Safflower—Several transactions have been effected in
safflower, at from 14r. Ba. to 26r. per maund ; the latter
is, however, an extreme rate, fine qualities being readily
obtainable at about 20r. to 22r.
Jute—There has been but little doing in this staple,
owing to the bazaar continuing scantily supplied even
with inferior qualities, whilst of really good there has
been none obtainable a- some time past.
Hides—A considerable amount of business was done
in hides during July, especially in dead green Patna,
and in first and second quality Calcutta slaughtt red, but
at reduced rates ; the bazaar is now almost bare of good
parcels, the present extensive stocks consisting almost
exclusively of second and inferior descriptions. Our
quotations are about the prices paid throughout the past
month, but holders are now demanding advance for any
good qualities.
Opium—ln our last we quoted Patna at 1,200 r. and
Benares at 1,120 r. per chest; these rates, however, were
only maintained for a few days, and the drug has since
been pretty steady at froth 1,150 r. to 1,160 r. fur the
former, and 1,075 r. to I,llor. for the latter, the market
being apparently but little affected either by the accounts
or remittances from China, or even by the alteration in
local monetary affairs. The stock in the Company's go-
down last evening consisted of 2,905 chests of Patna, and
770 of Benares.
A report is current to the effect that the prompt on
future sales will be reduced from one month to 15 days,
which will most probably materially affect speculation.
MONEY MARKET.—The declaration of a half-yearly
dividend by the Bank of Bengal, at the rate of 13.6 per
cent. per annum, as reported in our last, was followed by
the Union Bank at the rate of 7 per cent. The pressure
in the money market has'gradually,decreased, and we have
now to report a reduction of 1 per cent. in the Bank
rates, accompanied by corresponding or even greater de-
cline in the rates of discount generally.
Government securities have been steadily advancing
in value, and are firm at the following quotations in Bank
Stock; we still seldom hear of operations, there being
but few parties willing to invest at the rates demanded:

FREIGHTS.—The rates of freight to Great Britain
have in most instances been pretty steady throughout
the past month, with the exception of an occasional
reduction fur an inferior vessel or one anxious to fill up

INGULAR CASE OF RESTORED ANIMATION.-0/1
Thursday last there was a regatta at Southend, ac-
companied with a variety of amusements of a rustic
character. Shortly after the conclusion of the regatta a
party, who had been out fishing in a boat some distance
below the pier, discovered the body of a man, respect-
ably dressed, floating on the surface. It was imme-
diately taken on shore to the Ship Tavern, where, after
using the usual restorative means for several hours, ani-
mation was at length restored. It appeared that Lieu-
tenant Drake, RN., had been walking on the pier, which
is a mile and a quarter in length, and by some accident
fell off unobserved by the spectators. He was borne
away from the pier by the tide, and floated to a consi-
derable distance till he was thus fortunately rescued,
whilst in a complete state of insensibility. Lieutenant
Drake is now convalescent.
THE LAST OF THE REBECCAS.—Henry Evans,
committed to the county gaol, September 3, 1844, for
being engaged in some of the Rebecca disturbances, and
tried in March, 1845, and sentenced to eighteen months'
imprisonment, was discharged on Monday last, the period
of his imprisonment having expired. He is the last of
those unfortunate persons who were committed for
various terms of imprisonment, on account of their con-
nexion with Rebeccaism. When he entered the gaol he
was not able to speak a word of English, nor did he know his
alphabet; but when he was discharged be could speak
English fluently, and was able to read the Bible, and
repeated to the chaplain, who expressed great satisfac-
tion at his progress, the 3d chapter of Matthew, which
he had learned.— Carmarthen Journal.

DURHAM.—A MINER'S FUNERAL.—A distressing
scene is uescribed by a correspondent as having taken
place on Tues•lay evening, in the graveyard, St. John's,
Weardale. The body of J. Kidd, a mast( rman washer,
and a man highly esteemed by all the miners for honesty,
sobriety, and orderly behaviour, was to be interred. The
Rev. J. Green, the curate, sent word to the friends of
the deceased that he would not allow him to be carried
into the church, as he had died of fever. His medical
attendant then certified that the disease of which he had
died was non-contagious; on which the reverend gentle-
man answered, that as the deceased never came to church
when alive, but did all he could to oppose it, he weuld
not allow him to come in when dead. The relations and
friends, not wishing for any unpleasantness on the occa-
sion, sent for the Rev. W. Eckersell to perform a cere-
mony over the corpse before it was removed from home;
after which they moved with the coffin to the grave,
wishful to dispense with the latter part of the service,
as they were denied the first. When they got to the
grave they immediately placed it in the coffin, and com-
mencedio fill it, on which the reverend gentleman in-
sisted that he should be allowed to perform his duty.
The men respectfully answered, that as he had refused
the whole duty, they would not have a part performed.
The gentleman, evidently greatly excited, called on a
policeman who happened to be present, to support him
in his duty; whereupon the mass of the people imme-

YADDI OUTWITTED.--011 Monday morning a poor
Patlander went into the Gurbals Police-office, Lilasgow
to complain in the first place that he had been robbed
of six pair of shoes and one pair of boots, and in the
next place to solicit for himself a pass by which as a
pauper he might be conveyed home to Ireland. He made
the latter application because he was starving, and had
not a single farthing in the wide world to help him.
Lieutenant Reid being on duty, at once proceeded to in-
vestigate the facts of the case, and in so doing asked
Paddy to lay down a large bundle he held in his hand,
to see if none of the lost shoes were contained in it.
This the complainer declined to do, at the same time
declaring on his honour it contained nothing of any
value whatever. After some discussion Paddy was in-
duced to give up the bundle, which being opened was
found to contain two bags, a milk jug, a considerable
quantity of horses' harness, and other articles, the pro-
perty of Mr. James Gray, farmer, Mains by Cathcart,
from whom they had been stolen. It seems Paddy had
been employed by Mr. James Gray at the harvest,
which accounted for his possession tit' the property in
question. Not being able to give any sat sfactory ac-
count of how he came by these articles, he was detained
for examination. Previous to being lucked up, Paddy's
clothes were examined (much agAnst his inclination),
when a purse tumbled out containing ono sovereign in
gold and thirty-five shillings in silver. On this the man
who had been robbed, and was starving, and a ish,d a
pass to take him home to Ireland, was passed into the
custody of the house constable, who brom-,ht tem before
the sitting magistrate on Tuesday morning, by whom he
was ordered to be transmitted to the sheriff of Renfrew,.
