PESHAWUR.
(From the Delhi Gazette of September 16.)
Our anticipations regarding the danger .at .Peshawur
have been verified, but we are happy to sa, y, only par-
tially, and without any serious result. letter of the
sth inst., which has unfortunately not come to hand,
appears to have described what actually t, aok place, but
we gather from one dated the 6th that a c, anspiracy had
been organized, the chief object of which was to seize
the guns. It appears, however, to have be en defeated,
and to have been anything but general, as the greater
part of the troops of each caste are said to have been
much disgusted at the ringleaders of the conspiracy
Guards were placed over the guns and kept on, according
to the latter advises, to prevent accident, and no fears
seem to have been entertained of their being. rescued
before the announcement of the fall of Moulta.n, which
is naturally looked for with much anxiety. Major Law-
rence appears to have at one time entertained the idea
of sending Mrs. Lawrence to Kohat, but everything
was so quiet on the 6th that be had given it up. The
regular dak communication had been interrupted, but it
is clear by the receipt of our letter that the Asl..istant at
Peshawur had speedily opened another means of con-
veying intelligence. Chuttur ',Singh, who, by-the-by,
has eight guns with him, is reported to be in great want
of money; and it is ascertained that many of .his men
would desert if they could possibly manage it ; but the
watch kept over them is said to be very strict--at least,
this is the report of some artillerymen who have actually
deserted from his camp, and gone into Peshawur.

class vessels are preparing for a start to Calcutta, where
freights have of late materially improved, and likely to
range still higher.
Cotton Piece Goods—The demand for gray and Bri-
tish manufactures of low to middling qualities has during
the last ten days been to a considerable extent at rates
current when the last mail left. Within the last few
days, however, business has not been so generally active,
owing to the receipt of advices from the Punjaub, Moul-
tan, and Upper Sinde of the operations of war. From
our list of sales it will be seen that 40 in. grey shirtings
have declined slightly in price—on the other hand 45 in.
have experienced a slight advance in price. The busi-
ness transacted in bleached goods, it will be perceived,
has been to a very limited extent. Printed and dyed
goods have been sold at a moderate extent. A few prints
have been disposed of, but prices have not improved.
Twist—The sales effected in twist have not been so
extensive as during the first fortnight of the month, and
the prices then ruling have scarcely been maintained.
Metals—British bar iron has declined one rupee per
cwt. since the date of our last. Heavy arrivals of cochi-
neal have depressed the market for this article. Copper
has also declined in price.
Cochineal The following sales are reported :-
3,2001b5. Rs. 3 per lb., 3,0001b5. at Rs. 2 15 per lb.
Cotton—The stocks of cotton are moderate. The
business transacted in the article has been to a fair ex-
tent, and at rather higher rates than those prevailing
when the last mail left. The following is a list of the
purchases :-
