maintain former rates, but are just now in little &wand.
The low and middling qtv.iities of jaatonets, gray and
Lleached, have still further declined in value; white jae-
collets, of fine quality, ar,-," scarce, and in servo denrind,
hut prices are still uoremunerative. For haul.: muslins,
lappets, &c., there is no inquiry. Prints. with the excep-
tion of good styles, are neglected. Zebras ha% e
s,ld at low rates.

Yarns—There have been some sales of mule twist at
a slight advance upon previous rates, and in water some
improvements h,ive also taken place. In dyed yarns we
hear cf no change.
Woollens—The market for these continues inactive,
and the off;,rs made by dealers are generally low. We
have heard of the following transactions:—

3,000 yards of woolen cloth, at I r. 6a. per yard.
1,500 ditto ditto at lr. 4a. ditto.

Marine Stores—Prices rem•rin wiJiout change, with
the exception of that of Swedish tar, which is about one
rupee per barrel lower than b,fore. There has been a
sa!e of 90 cwt. of White paint at 12ir, per cwt.
Beer—No transactions arpear to have taken place
.ince our last, and prices remain unalt,.red. The dealers
app.ar to be for the present pretty well supplied.
Spirits—The deinaad for these has been languid, and
no improvement lias taien place in existing rates, which
are far from rymuneratintr. We hear of no transactions.

Cocliin,al—This article has continued to itnprovu in
price ; 3r. 3a. per pound has been refused for it, and we
now quote it nt 3r. 4a. . _

SatTron—The m.trk,t for this is also more favourable,
but prices are still unrennineralve, and for the best qua-
!ities no more than 17:1-r. per pound can be obtatoed.
The stocks both of this article and of cochineal are vet.)
light.

Maeao has compelled the Governor to impose a heavy
income VA roi:.rty-tax, amounting to 10 per cent.,
which is erc::Etir.g an outcry in the Holy City, be-
cause it is felt to be especially hard twon the Por-
tuguese, now the only permanent population of the
place, whose remonstrances against the former ex-
cessive restrictions and imposts, which drove away
the entire foreign community, were disregarded, when
they might have prevented the subsequent decay of
rade.

Murders and highway robberies—hitherto corn-
: witted exclusively upon Indians and Chinese—are,
as you will see from the papers, becoming alarmingly
common, and the perpetrators are probably encou-
raged by the impunity they enjoy for their depre•
dations on the river. The police—who, to do them
justice, are certainly efficient in protecting life and
property within the town—have no force adequate to
the purpose on the roads and villages upon the island,
and they have as yet been able to devise nothing bet-
ter than to counsel the inhabitants not to go alone or
unarmed beyond the bounds of the town. A few
thousand dollars spent in maintaining a rural police
would render such counsel unnecessary; but permis-
sion from home must be obtoined before even this
step is adopted by the local authorities.
Warren Delano, jun., Esq., who goes a passenger

The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation
Company have permanently appointed Mr. Olding
their agent at Ilong-Kong, an arrangement which
we are very sure will give general satisfaction to the
foreign community in China.

CHINA COMMERCIAL.
HONG-KONG, AUGUST 28.
At Canton the market continues dull in the extreme.
None of the staple imports are in demand, or can be
disposed of above prime cost, while the prices asked for
exports offer no immediate prospect of eligible invest-
ment. No present inconvenience is thus experienced by
the scarcity of money, caused by the drain for India;
but it may be severely felt should an improvement take
place in the export trade.
Matters are rather better in the north. At Amoy
cotton and cotton goods fetch remunerating rates, but
the market is a limited one, and must so continue, until
the native dealers are induced, bx a sustained demand,
to bring exports to that market. At present returns are
chiefly made in cash.

At the date of the very lest advitfes from Shanghae
there was a perceptible, though slight, improvement in
the market.

'The loss of the Duke of Lancaster will probably give
:t a further impetus. Stocks of shirtings are light both
n first and second hands, and there is a demand fur both
white and grey, especially the former, in which a con-
siderable business has been done since the hot weather
commenced. The transactions, too, being principally for
cash, are on a much sounder basis than during the
monopoly of the now bankrupt Hongs, a pernicious
system which we trust will never be revived. Un-
bleached goods also have been sold, but to a limited ex-
tent, and at from 50 to 60 cents. less than white. The
stock of opium is very large, most of the receiving vessels
isuirr, full; there is, therefore, no immediate prospect of
amended prices. In the new crop of tea scarcely any
transactions have taken place. The musters hitherto
produced are not of a first-rate quality, and the prices
asked are such as no one, looking at the advices from
England, is disposed to hive; and it is probable that
among the first operations f)r this article it will be taken
in exchange for opium. It is said that the number of
chops to be brought forward at Shanghae will fall greatly
short of the amount last year.
A similar indisposition to enter into transactions in
silk is manifested, the prices asked being such as to h ave
no prospect of profitable investment. The native dealers,
who have gone to the interior to make purchases, are
said to have hitherto made little progress, the producers
holding out for prices higher than the foreign merchants
are disposed to give, and therefore leaving no profit to
the dealer. It is said, however, that a leading firm in
Canton has made a contract fur from 3,000 to 4,000
bales, speculating on the higher prices last year obtain-
able at the southern ports. Another sale of about 500
bales is stated to have taken place, consisting of Tsatlee,
first and second qualities, in equal proportions, at 400
dollars for sycee, or say 420 dollars. Of this year's crop
but little really good has made its appearance, being
probably held until better prices are offered. Instead of
being deficient, as was reported, the crop is now said to
be abundant; and therefore it will soon be proved
whether the unfavourable advices from England will
have the effect of forcing the Chinese to lower their de-
mands, or whether they wia be able to hold or take the
silk into consumption among themselves.

that in many instances the time had elapsed and the
buyer not able to clear, the system is still pursued,
though hitherto unsuccessfully. The clearances have
been extensive, but have latterly been greatly falling

BIRDS AND THE ELECTRIC TELEGRArR.—A para-
graph having lately gone the round of the daily papers,
stating that birds sitting on the electric telegraph wires
would, were the instruments at work at the time, fall
dead to the ground, we have been informed by a party
who is thoroughly conversant with the electric telegraph
that such cannot be the case. The only reason he as-
signs for the above supposition is that birds in their
flight fly against the wires, and being stunned fall to the
ground to all appearance lifeless. The fact is simple
enough, there being nothing to connect the birds with
the earth, which must be the case for such an occurrence
to hlpp, n.
ACCIDENT IN THE STRAND.—Yesterday, shortly
after twelve o'clock, the following melancholy accident
occurred in the Strand, opposite the Adelphi Theatre,
during the bustle usually prevalent on the conclusion of
the performances at that establishment. A young woman
with a child in her arms had just left the pit department
of the theatre, and whilst attempting to cross the road
was knocked down by a cab, at that moment drawing up.
The woman was instantly assisted to rise, but before the
child could be picked up it was trampled upon in a shock-
ing manlier by the fore-hoofs of the horse. The injuries
sustained were of such a nature that the child (a boy of
about four years of age) is scarcely expected to live.

FRENCH PLAYS.
Encouraged by the success of last year, _Mr.
Mitchell follows out his plan of commenein,t,
season for the French Plays early in the winter. We
are rejoiced at this, because it shows that the former
efforts of Mr. Mitchell have been justly appreciated
by the public, while, at the same time, it secures to
that public an earlier commencement and a longer
continuance of a most delightful and intellectual
amusement. The season commences on Wednesday,
11th November, with the engagement of our
old favourite Perlet, the actor who first made French
plays popular in England. He will be supported by
Cartigny, Rhozevil, and Mademoiselle Brohan, from
the Theatre Francais, (her first appearance in this
country), and during his engagement, there will he
produced, Bertrand et Baton, Le M'alade Irnagin lire,
Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme, L' Ecole des Femmes,
and Les Folies Arnoureuses, and sc vend popular vaucle •
villes. May we venture to express a hope that during
the course of his engagement, he will appear in
Molieres chef d'euvre Tartuffe. It is the character
in which Perlet produced his first impression on the
Engli'h public, and one of which those who have
once seen his embodiment will not easily lose the re-
membrance. Frederic Lemaitre and Mdlle. Ciarisse
will follow Perlet and Mademoiselle Brohan, and
during their engagement will be produced Dumas'
Comedy of " Louise de La Valliere," " Marie
Jeanne," "Le I3arbier du Roi d'Arago," " Don
Cesar de Bazan," " L'Auberge des Adrets," "La
Dame de St. Tropez," and the new play of " Le
Docteur Noir." The engagement of Monsieur Fre-
derick Lemaitre, will be succeeded by those of Mon-
sieur Lafont, and Mademoiselle Fargueil, (her first
appearance in this country), for whose performances
will be produced the plays of " Un Mari qui se
Derange," " Casanova," " Les Deux Brigadiers,"
" Mathilde, ou, La Jalousie," "Un Mariage au
Tambour," " Pierre le Rouge," &c. &c. &c.—
Early in March the popular comic actor, Monsieur
Alcide Tousez, (of the Theatre du Palais Royal), and
MademoiselleDuverger, (also of the Theatre du Palais
Royal), will make their first appearances in this
country, and will perform in " Le Roi des Frontins,'
"La Scour de Jocrisse," "Le Philtre Champenois,"
"Escadron," " Volant de la Reine," &c. The per-
formances in April will be commenced by the engage-
ment of the admired artiste, Mademoiselle Rose Cheri,
(of the Theatre du Gymnase), whose performances
last year were so eminently successful, and during
whose limited engagement will be produced the new
domestic drama of " Glarissa Harlowe," now perform-
ing in Paris with extraordinary success; and also a new
play, written expressly for Mademoiselle Rose Cheri,
by the popular author M. Scribe, in addition to the
following pieces :—" Yelva; ou, l'Orpheline Russe,"
" La Belle et la Bete," " Une Maitresse de Maison,"
"Les Deux Scours," "La Loi Salique," and others.
The engagement of Mademoiselle Rose Cheri will
be succeeded by those of Monsieur Regnier (of the
Theatre Francais), and Mademoiselle Denain, also of
the Theatre Francais (her first appearance in this
country), for whose representations will be produced
" Une Chaine," " Oscar," "Le Mariage Force,"
" L'Enfant Trouve," "La Famille Poisson," "Le
Jeune Mari," " Le Barbiere de Seville," " Les De
moilelles de St. Cyr," " Le Mari a la Campagne,"
&c. &c. And, at the end of May, the distinguished
actor, Monsieur Bouffe, who has not appeared in
London since 1843, will give a limited number of
representations, consisting of the most popular pieces
of his celebrated Repertoire, namely—" Michel
Perrin," "Les Vieux Peches," "Pere Turlututu,"
" La Fille de L'Avare," "Antoine; ou, Les Trois
Generations," " Clermont," Les Merluchans," " Le
blousse," "Le Gamin de Paris," &c. In addition to

these artistes, Mr. Mitchell has again engaged
Mademoiselle Rachel, for a few performances. She
will appear in the tragedies of " Tancred," by Vol-
taire ; " Brittanicus," by Racine ; " Athalie," by
Racine; "Marie Stuart," by Le Brun ; " Ariane,'
by Corneille. In addition to some others already pro-
duced at this theatre, Mademoiselle Rachel has also
undertaken to perform, during her engagement in
London, and for the first time, the character of
Celimene, in Moliere's comedy of " Le Misanthrope:'
But Mr. Mitchell has not devoted his attention ex.
elusively to the engagement of stars. They will be
supported by a company which, in its ensemble, can
not be equalled in any save a Parisian theatre, and
which, perhaps, cannot be surpassed by any single
theatre even in the French capital. The fellovi ing
is a list of the general company :
Mons. Cartigny ; Messrs. Rhoz,wil, Felix, Beron,
Sourillon, Larochelle, Preston, Dumery, Masquilicr,
Dorgebret, I'agenier, Gabriel, and Mons. Langeval ;.
Madame Grassot, Mademoiselle Duverger.
Mes lames Cane Vallee, Amelio Khin, Celine Fou
quet, Fanny Cordely, Josephine Leyder ; Mademoiselles
Edith Duffand, Fanny Merimont, Marie Pascal, Madl.
Dumery, Augusta Leon.
Chef d'Orchestre, Moms. Bourotte ; Regisseur, Mons.
Cloup.
Such is the programme for the season, and it will
be kept to the very letter. Mr. Mitchell is one of the
very few managers who has never promised more than
he feels himself assured of performing, and with such
a company there can be no doubt that the season of
1847 will surpass even that of 1846 in brilliancy and
success.

PRINCESS'S THEATRE.—This popular theatre, having
been re-decorated, is about to open again for an operatic
campaign ; and as the object is decidedly to give every
encouragement to English authors and composers, arid
to establish a native opera, the enterprising proprietor
has our heartiest wishes for his success. The opening
piece augurs well for his taste and liberality; for Mr.
Loder, though less known to the public, has long been
esteemed by musicians as a composer of undoubted
genius. The author is no less known as a lyrical and
dramatic• poet, so that we have not only a right to
expect an interesting drama, but poetry also, which, in a
modern opera, is somewhat of rare occurrence.
THE STEAM SHIP HIBERNIA.—Boston letters an-
nounce the arrival of the Hibernia at that city on the
morning of the 3d instant. She would leave again on
her return on the 16th, and consequently may be antici-
pated at this port about Wednesday next. Her accounts
will probably be of much political importance. The
Mexicans at the city of Monterey appear somewhat in-
clined to dispute with the American forces the very in-
different progress they have been making during the
early part of September towards that place. Her com-
mercial accounts, in which so many conflicting hopes of
corn and cotten are bound up, will possess much interest,
—Liverpool Albion.
THE LATE SHIPWRECK.—RAMSGATE, OCT. 23.
This afternoon, at two o'clock, the bodies of the three
unfortunate French sailors, Captain Isau Thomaso, Noel
Thomaso, and Jean Marie Philippe, seamen of the chasse
mar* Eole, which was wrecked at the back of the East
Pier-head in the gale on Wednesday last, were interred
with all the solemn rites of the Catholic Church, in the
cemetery of St. Augustine's Church, now erecting on the
West Cliff. The procession consisted of the two sur-
viving crew of the ill-fated vessel, and a great number
of foreign captains and seamen, 24 of whom volunteered
as bearers. A considerable number of the townspeople
attended on this mournful and interesting occasion. It
is worthy of remark that this is the first funeral which
has been celebrated according to the Catholic ritual in
Ramsgate since the Reformation. The church of St.
Augustine, when completed, will be a source of great
spiritual benefit to the crews of the numerous foreign
vessels frequenting this port, who are at present desti-
tute of any suitable place of worship.
ROBBERY AND ATTEMPTED MURDER IN CHE-
SHIRE —The following information was received at the
police office last night, that at twelve o'clock yesterday
noon, Mr. Thomas M'Gill, a travelling draper, residing
at Edward-street, Hanvover-street, was shot in the head
(supposed with a pistol), and then robbed of two 201.
Bank of England notes, two 51. notes, 181. in gold, and
from 31. to 4/. in silver, and a 10/. Bank of England
note—total 824
_effected by a man named John
Wright, who, aft& robbing him, attempted to drag
him to a brook, no doubt with the intention of
drowning him, but was prevented from effecting
his purpose by some men who were at work in an
adjoining field, near to the high road at Tabley, Che-
shire. Wright is described as a Scotch traveller, and
was living at Benton Cross, with his father, about three
miles from Northwick ; he is a native of Warrington,
about 28 years of age, 5 feet 10i inches high, sandy
whiskers, light made, and has a habit of swinging his
arms (very much) when walking. Wright is well known
by Mr. M Gill, having been formerly in the same busi-
ness as a Scotch traveller ; be met him near Tabley,
and entered into conversation with him, and shortly
stopped until Mr. M'Gill passed on, when the report of a
pistol was heard, and MeGill fell. Wright then rifled
his pockets, but some labourers coming from a field, he
afterwards made off. Inquiry was then made of the
wounded man, who stated where he lived, and he was
brought to Manchester in a coach. Mr. Hanson, sur-
geon, attended him after his arrival in Manchester, and
states that he is in a dangerous state from a 'severe
wound on the back of the head.—Manchester Courier.
SUBSIDENCE ON THE IPSWICH AND BURY RAILWAY.
—Our readers are already aware that considerable diffi-
culty has been found in forming a necessary embankment
near Stowmarket, owing to the whole miss of earth re-
peatedly subsiding. It was supposed that the spirited
contractor had mastered this difficulty ; we regret to
bear, however, that on Friday Last another sub-ndence of
from four to five feet occurred. Three splendid new en-
gines, for the railroad from Ipswich to Bury St. Ed
round's, arrived, during last week, at the Ipswich station.
Preparations will shortly be made for constructing the
telegraph along the line from Ipswich to Colchester.

The race was timed in the list for three o'clock, but
as the town and coffee-room clocks happened to be
twenty minutes in advance of the real time, the start,
which, it is almost superfluous to observe, was effected
in good style at the first signal, actually took place
about a quarter before. Best Bower was one of the first
off, and, for about three hundred yards, made running
at a good rate ; Duc-an-Durras and Sotades then went
in front, and, with the favourite, Terrier, Colleen Bawn,
Sting, and Garry Owen laid up, cut out the work until
near the Duke's stand. Here the Joanna colt passed
them, and in a few strides was leading a couple of
lengths, followed, for about a distance, by Sotades,
and the Irish horse, and afterwards to the close of the
race by Sting and Lady Wildair, the three being
singled out before they reached the cord. The favourite
went in with a clear lead to within fifty yards of home,
when Sting made his effort, got to his girths, and looked
very like winning, but swerved at the finish, and was
beaten by half a length. Lady Wildair was third, beaten
about two lengths from Sting ; the Terrier fourth, and
Colleen Bawn fifth, next to whom were Garry Owen
and Duc-an-Durras. Alarm was beaten at the Duke's
Stand, and lago all the way.
Mr. Nunn, the owner of the winning horse, nets up-
wards of 7.0001., in addition to the stakes, which
amount to 1,4151. The settling will be heavy.

pace to the bushes, where the Circassian Maid took up the
running, ran home a clever winner by a length, and was
claimed. Thelndustry colt beating Dipthong by two lengths.

Ennui and Seven's-the-Main in attendance, kept the lead to

Coningsby made play at a good pace, followed by Main
Brace and the Redshank colt, Clementina waiting. In this
order there was no change till they reached the Duke's stand,
where Mainbrace and the Redshank colt were beaten, and
Clementina went on in waiting on Coningsby, gradually
drawing up from the distance; she came a few strides from
home, but. never quite got up, the horse winning, not without
severe punishment, by a head. Mainbrace was a very bad
third.

complete " tail " was never seen.
Match, 200, h ft, Bst 71b each, D.M.—Mr. Bloore's Wolf-
dog receives 75 sovs. of Duke of Bedford's Oakley.
So thick a mist hung over the course during the whole of
the day, that it was doubtful, at one time, if the jockeys ,
would be able to find their way home, or the judge
to distinguish their colours. Nothing was discern-
able at a distance of fifty yards ; and it is miraculous
that the D.I. and feather weight Plates were brought to an
issue without a casualty. Of course, we were in the same
difficulty as on Monday. It was quite impossible to time
any of the races. The sport, notwithstanding, was ex-
cellent, and the attendance very numerous. The settling
for the Cambridgeshire commenced in the morning, but
owing to the early hour at which the first race was fixed,
and the unaccountable liberality of the manager of the
Church and Coffee-room clocks (by which the races are run), •
in keeping them 22 minutes in advance of the London time,
was not half finished; the accounts were heavy, but money
appeared to be " easy."

ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH,-.111 order that the line of
telegraph communication now in course of erection on
the railway from Hull to other parts may not obstruct
the navigation of the Ouse at Selby, it will cross the
river at such an elevation as will allow the largest vessel
trading there to pass below the wires without
striking their masts. This will be effected by a large
mast, 75 feet in length, surmounted by a topmast 68 feet
long, secured to the piles in the river, and by a second
mast 80 feet long, with a 56-feet topmast, fixed in the
masonry on land. On the top of these twelve wires
will pass, protected by suitable lightning conductors,
and the whole stayed with patent wire rigging. To give
as nautical a character as practicable to the erections,
the masts and topmasts arc fitted with crosstrees and
caps, similar to those of art immense schooner. The
whole have been made in Hull, at the establishment of
Mr. T. A. Wilkinson, under the superintendence of Mr.
J. Aughton, the contractor. The telegraph will be
completed in two or three weeks from Hull to Milford
Junction, which will place us in communication with
York, Scarborough, Newca..tle, arid the ports of Dur-
ham northward, and with Leeds on the west ; and also,
in a few more weeks, with Liverpool westward, and
Wakefiell, Barnsley, Sheffield, Rotherham, Derby,
Llndon south ; also with Birmingham and other
s'o' nuath‘-
western towns. The telegraph is erecting on the Bur-
lington line, and will be opened throughout in a, month
or two.—Eastern Counties Herald.
