6,000 men, consisting of a troop of Horse Artillery, a
light Field Battery, one regiment of Regular and
another of Irregular Cavalry, and the 15th, 24th, 30th,
and 33d Native Infantry, occupies Jesrowta, and then
advances on Jamoo. One day's post brings tidings
that contingently on this Sir John Littler and his
troops will stand fast at the capital three months
longer than was proposed—another that a fresh brigade
is in orders to cross the Sutlej at Ferozepore and
march on Lahore. This, according to the Delhi Ga-
zette's Siralah letters, is to consist of Campbell's and
Lane's troops of Horse Artillery, 6th Regular and 12th
Irregular Cavalry, her Majesty's 62d Foot, and the
513 t and 54th Native Infantry. A letter of the 29th
ultimo from Lahore, received on Monday, intimates that
her Majesty's 80th, and the 12th, 42d, and 44th Native
Infantry, Major Day's troop of Horse Artillery; and
Major Horsford's Light Field Battery, are under orders
to march thence at a moment's warning for a post on the
Begs. Our correspondent furnishes us with no informa-
tion beyond the fact of these movement, and we shall not
therefore venture on speculations. This new element
of activity was altogether foreign to our contemplations:
what its ultimate effects may be, it is not easy to an-
ticipate. The Seikhs, alike of the mountain and the
plain, must now see more clearly than even after So-
braon had opened their eyes, not only how completely
they are at our mercy, but how absolutely they are
dependent on us for their own protection. Meanwhile
the property of the rebel chief, mostly existing in the
Jullundur Doab, was directed to be everywhere confis-
cated, and very ample returns were thence expected to
arise. The Moultan arrangements also seem to proceed
less auspiciously than could he desired, and that was
at one time promised by them. The Ambassador{ap-
pears distrustful how to act, and seems to think that he
will require to 'proceed to the city of Moultan itself.
The Moolraj is suspected of disingenuousness and dis-
junction from the first, and most likely thought that the
disturbances of Cashmere and the absence of the army
supplied plausible grounds for procrastination, in the
prospect of the withdrawal of the British force. Al-
together, the state of things looks at present much more
tangled and perplexing than it has done almost since the
Governor-General quitted the Seikh dominions. The cold
weather seems to have set in, and the season is favour-
ably spoken of: snow had fallen on some of the moun-
tains at no very great distance from Kote Kangra.

of both plain and printed Turkey red goods, but at most
wretched prices. Prints continue neglected.
COTTON YARNS.—An advance has taken place in the
prices of Nos. 20, 30, and 50 mule, and No. 20 water
twist, which counts are just at present in request. The
other numbers remain without change. There has been
on the whole, a fair amount of business in yarns. In
dyed yarns, Turkey red is the only colour for which
there is any demand, and we hear of a sale in it of
10,0001b5., average No. 40's, at lir. per lb. Orange is
altogether neglected.
WOOLLENS.—The market for woollen cloth continues
dull and unpromising, and but few sales appear to have
taken place. Prices are still low and unremunerating.
MARINE STORES.—The demand for the articles under
this head has been very slight, and little improvement
is discernible in prices. We quote linseed oil and
spirit of turpentine a trifle higher than before. A
sale is reported of 400 barrels of coal pitch, at 2rs, Ba.
per barrel.
BEM—Prices remain as before, and the only sale of
which we have been apprised is one of 250 hogsheads
Allsopp's, at 60r. per hogshead.
SPIRITS.—Both brandy and gin are quite unchanged
in value. We hear of no transactions.

COTTON.—The arrivals since our last have been light,
and the cotton that has come down appears of somewhat
inferior quality. The purchases for Great Britain—
chiefly of Broach, Surat, and Dollerah—amount, we un-
derstand, to about 5,000 bales in the whole. The market
is steady, and prices, as will be seen, rule somewhat under
our former quotations.

SINDE.
The valley of the Indus furnishes no contribution this
month to cur very scanty supply of intelligence. Ru-
mours, on which no one places faith, continue rife of the
northward movement of troops. The motive for their
circulation is not difficult of solution ; their source is
easily traceable. The belief is gaining ground rapidly,
notwithstanding the efforts made to mystify, that there
will be vast changes in the province before the end of the
year. An officer in the Sinde army, whose name has
not been published, has, at his own charge, built and en-
dowed a school for the benefit of the children of all
classes of natives. The climate continues cool and
pleasant, and hitherto no signs of that sickness which
for years past has characterised the cold weather have
appeared. Sir Charles Napier continues at Kurrachee.
The steamer Berenice came in last night from Kurra-
chee, whither she was dispatched on the 4th with the
families of her Majesty's 17th and 60th Foot. She
brings letters to the 10th, some extracts from which are
subjoined :
KIIARACELEE, OCT. 10.-It is well known here that the
Governor of Sinde reported to the Governor-General
no less than nine regiments available for other service
than that of Sinde, and received intimation that until
the middle of January, 1847, it was deemed advisable to
keep every fighting man in the country. This was long
before the late outbreak in Cashmere began to show
itself. The people here talk of a move towards Bha-
wulpore, but there is nothing observable in the conduct of
the authorities to confirm such an idea, if we except the
fighting parades which aro now the order of the day.
The mornings and evenings are delightfully cool, and
the force, horse and foot, all go to skirmish over the hills
in great style. The 60th's women landed safely ; every
arrangement was made for their comfort, and not a single
accident occurred. The Napier steamer is kept at Gisree
Bunder, which has caused many surmises. We can now
communicate with the river by means of the river
steamers and the new channel at all times ; a great im-
provement on bygone days. 500 horses have just come
in, and are in progress to Bombay, together with a large
quantity of wool.

which was subsequently, namely, in 1819, seized
by the renowned RUNJELT SINGH, and by
him committed to a Mahomedan administration
Not merely was this beautiful and important district
ceded by us to the MAHARAJA, of the hills, but we
actually engaged to sustain him in the integrity of
his new empire ; and more than that, induced the
Durbar of Lahore to afford every assistance in case
of emergency to one whom they must unquestionably
regard with aversion as a master rebel. At the period
when these engagements were entered into there was,

it is true, but little expectation that any such assist-
ance would be required. GHOOLAB SINGH appeared
to have retained under his authority a military force
that promised to be an invincible protection from the
indignation or envy of surrounding princes. Before
the power of GHOOLAB SINGH the shattered or ener-
vated ranks of the neighbouring territories appeared
to be wholly insignificant. Circumstances, have
however, proved otherwise.
After neglecting for some time, and from some un-
accountable reason, to take possession of Cashmere,
the MAHARAJA at length attempted to extend his au-
thority over that district, but his attempt has been
nullified by the most unexpected discomfiture. Under
the direction of the Sheik EMAUM-00D-DEEN, the
Muslims of the valley have revolted against the un-
welcome sway of GHOOLAB SINGH, and that formid-
able warrior has been twice beaten back with a cala-
mitous and sanguinary violence. By an adroit
arrangement of this rebellious Sheik, it would ap-
pear, moreover, that additional difficulties have been
thrown in the way of the thwarted MAHARAJA ; the
recent insurrections in the Vale of Cashmere have
been rendered more durable and portentous by
having a religious character imparted to them; the
cunning Sheik, himself, has assumed the title of
EMIR-00L-MOOMEMIN ; and the affection, and even
enthusiasm with which he is regarded by his Muslim
followers, renders the suppression of the revolt a
matter of consummate difficulty.
In this embarrassment of his newly acquired tern_
tories, GHOOLAB SINGH has applied to the Governor-
General for the military aid which had been stipu-
lated in the recent treaties. Obedient to their own
promise, the British authorities have not merely for-
warded 6,000 men from the Jullundur Doab to take
temporary possession of the MAHARAJA'S capital, but it
would appear that they hare actually prevailed upon
Raja LALL SINGH to dispatch 10,000 men to co-
operate in these endeavours to subdue the insurgents of
Cashmere. And it would appear, moreover, that this has
been accomplished at the very moment when the re-
volt and the resistance of the Muslims are attributed
to an intrigue of the Durbar of Lahore ! Whether
that rumour be correct or not, it is unquestionabl e
that extensive preparations were being made to enter
upon a campaign among the mountains and fastnesses
of Cashmere ; that the British forces were leagued
together in the same causewith those of GHOOLAB SINGH,
and the Government of Lahore. Some months back such
a combination of antagonistic soldiery would have
been incredible; even now it is almost incredible.
From the vigorous repulse which the MAHARAJA has
already encountered from the followers of EMIR-00L-
MOOMEMIN, and from the frightful severity of a
wintry season amongst the mountains of the revolted
country, the difficulties of this deplorable enterprise
may be calculated.
If anything were wanting to show the absurdity of
our Asiatic policy, this catastrophe in the magnifi-
cent and impregnable Valley of Cashmere would be
amply sufficient. It would be sufficient, because it
displayed in a conspicuous manner the impossibility
of gathering a wholesome fruit from rotten
or pernicious branches ; or, in other words, the
frivolity of expecting to behold peace and good govern-
ment flowing from sources which have only an affinity
for intestine wars and lawless spoliation. Here we
grant certain additions to the kingdom conferred upon
GHOOLAB SINGH, and we are consequently involved
in troubles for the purpose of making conquests for
the MAHARAJA.: of the Hills. Next, as a matter

of course, we shall have to enter upon a separate ex-
pedition in support of the Lahore Government, and
Sir CHARLES NAPIER will have to march upon
Bhawulpore to chastise the petulant and refractory
NizAm of Moultan. With all these boisterous
elements to battle against, and with our present
blundering and piecemeal policy, the tranquillity and
happiness of India will be realised only on the arrival
of the Greek Kalends.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)

In the case of Mrs. SUUTTLEWORTH, the public
having had the advantage of a long discussion on the
state of the law relating to lunacy, and of the judgment
of the entire Court thereon, a certain degree of doubt
has been removed. The law of lunacy is revealed in all
its hideous deformity, and medical practitioners have
received a lesson how meagre may be the character of
the statements they are obliged to make, in pursuance
of the Act of Parliament, as to the facts on which
they ground their opinions of the insanity of the
person, and how illusory may be the protection
afforded by the statute. The lady in question, it ap-
pears, had for five years past been residing in the
house of a medical man, as a patient for bodily and
not mental disease. That gentleman, who from such
long intercourse must be supposed to be more corn-
patent to form a sound opinion as to her mental
capacity than any person on a casual interview, dis-
tinctly and positively swore that the lady was of
sound mind at the time she was taken into custody.
In this he was corroborated by the affidavits of three
other persons, who had long been acquainted with
her. She was possessed of a moderate independence,
on which she lived in the greatest seclusion.
The person who interfered in the matter was not in
any way related to, or connected with, Mrs. SHUTTLE-
WORTH j he does not appear to have bad more
than a few minutes' conversation with her, and when
on that he decided upon transferring her to a private
lunatic asylum, he was wholly unable to answer
any one of the sixteen particulars required by the
Act, being in fact up to the time of signing the order
for her reception wholly unacquainted with her. One
of the medical certificates on which the statement
was justified, stated that the facts on which the gen-
tleman formed his opinion that she was of unsound
mind were, that she laboured under various delusions,
without stating what these delusions were, and that
she was extremely dirty, and indecent ; the other was
still less satisfactory—for the only fact stated was,
that the learned doctor had a long conversation
with the alleged lunatic, from which he
had arrived at his conclusion. The Lord Chief
Justice pronounced the decision of the Court, in
which his judicial brethren fully concurred, that the
return to the writ which stated that she was detained
in custody as a person of unsound mind, under and
by virtue of the order for reception, and the certifi-
cates to which we have alluded, was fully sufficient,
and that therefore the lady must be remanded back
to her original custody. It is unncessary for the
purposes of our argument to inquire whether the
lady was really of unsound mind or otherwise. It
is the state of the law that must be looked to, and
whether under that law a sane person can, by any
possibility, be unduly interfered with, and his personal
liberty abridged with impunity, and also what is the se-
curity afforded against any such interferences. If the
law is so defective, if such abuses really exist, then its
alteration and amendment is imperatively called for
and the public voice should be at once raised to de
mand its speedy revision.
The first point established by the present case is
that a total stranger may cause the arrest and im-
prisonment of any person whose sanity is impeached;
may select an asylum to which the unfortunate person
will be consigned, in which he will be kept secluded
without his friends being permitted to see or hear
from him, or even to see the documents under and
by virtue of which he is detained in custody. This is
' a most dangerous power to be fora moment sanctioned.
If it continues in force it is probable that we
shall speedily find persons who will make it their
business to inquire into the private affairs of every
person of any degree of eccentricity, who is pos-
sessed of an independence sufficient to insure pay-
ment of the demands of the keeper of the asylum.
Such persons may be considered as necessary
to an establishment of the description as com-
mercial travellers to an extensive mercantile house.
We do not mean to attribute any unworthy motive to
the clergyman who signed the order in the present
case ; but we have shown that a dangerous power
exists, that great abuses may be perpetrated in conse-
quence thereof, and that we conceive to be quite suffi-
cient to warrant us in calling for its abolition.
No pauper lunatic can be committed to custody

without being in the first instance brought before a
magistrate to be examined, and his detention approved
of. Why should not a similar protection be afforded
to the wealthier patient ? We conceive that no per-
son should be taken into any house for the reception
of lunatics until he has been so examined, and that
a verdict of a jury should in every case be neces-
sary, to warrant his detention. This verdict might
be obtained at a moderate cost, and the coroner of the
district might conduct the inquiry. When-
ever the proceeding was instituted by any
person not nearly related to the alleged lu-
natic, the matter should be taken into the
hands of some public officer. The Lord Chan-
cellor is, "by virtue of his office," guardian of all
lunatics, and in such cases he should delegate an
authority to some person to inquire into the circum-
stances, and to take such steps as might be most
beneficial for the afflicted person.
It is also now settled that the statement that the
person signing the certificate had a conversation with
the person afflicted, from which he grounded his opi-
nion, is a sufficient fact within the statute to warrant
the certificate. The protection intended to be given
by the statute is thus partially abolished. It never
could have been contemplared that any medical man
would have signed such a certificate without seeing
and conversing with the patient. The Legislature,
therefore, when it enacted " that the per-
son certifying should state on the face ofH
the certificate the facts that led him to the conclu-
sion that the person was insane," must have contem-
plated something further than the fact of an interview
with the medical practitioner. It would appear to us
that the facts to be set forth should be of such a cha-
racter as, if unexplained, to establish the mental inca-
pacity. The Court have, however, decided differently,
and as the very slight protection afforded by the Act
is thus taken away, there is a positive necessity for
some speedy legislation on the subject. We trust
that the " Alleged Lunatics' Friend Society," who have
so kindly noticed our exertions on this subject, will
take steps to have the matter brought prominently
before Parliament in the ensuing session, and that a
full and searching inquiry may be directed into the
law of lunacy, the manner of its operation, and the
measures that should be adopted for its amendment.

The Frankfort Journal contains a letter, dated
Vienna, Nov. 11, which says—
" To-morrow, or the day after, will be published at
Cracow the incorporation of the republic with the Aus-
trian monarchy. Gallicia is to be divided administra-
tively into Eastern and Western Gallicia. Cracow is to
be the capital of the latter. This news has produced a
great sensation. Count Stadion has returned to his post
as Governor of Gallicia, after having had a conference
with Prince de Metternich. It is announced that the
judgments given against the persons compromised in the
late revolution in Gallicia, and signed by the Emperor,
are to be published and carried into execution."

A letter from Berlin, of the 15th, states that the
treaty of commerce with Sardinia, which had long
been under negotiation, has just been concluded.
The letter adds that negotiations have been entered
into with the United States and the principalities of
the Danube. The treaty with the kingdom of the
Two Sicilies is on the point of being ratified.

Intelligence from Lisbon to the 17th inst. has been
received by her Majesty's steam-sloop Polyphemus,
Commander M'CLEVERTY, which has arrived at
Portsmouth. Count DAs ANTAS had retired upon
Santarem, a strong and fortified position, where he
was awaiting the attack of SALDANIIA, who
was advancing against him from Alwentrinho. Gen•
ScuWALI3ACK (the Viscount SETERBAL), after shelling
Evora for two days, and finding he could make
no impression, had raised the siege, and
retreated to Estremoz, closely followed, it was said, by
the Count DE BOMFIN. Oporto remains in possession
of the insurgents. The last accounts from that city
mention nothing of the rumour that the America
frigate had been fired on and dismasted. Indeed, it
is said that the America draws too much water to
approach within gun shot-of Oporto.

Colonel WYLDE had on the 13th an interview with
Count DAS ANTAS at Santarem. The Count ex-
pressed his loyalty to the QUEEN, and declared it was
against her bad advisers only that he was in arms, and
that his only desire was to release the QUEEN from
the thraldom in which she was held, and afford her the
means of governing according to the charter.
The Diario publishes a decree, dated November
14th, by which the QUEEN, acting in conformity to
the power which she has assumed of personally
directing the affairs of the kingdom, orders that the
notes of the Bank of Lisbon be accepted as a legal
tender for the full amount which they purport to
bear, and the penalty attached to the infraction of
this decree is a fine of from 13/. to 1301., at the will
of the judge before whom the offender is tried, and
also the punishment of civil degradation.
The English merchants resident at Lisbon have
presented a strong remonstrance, through their
Consul, on the subject of this decree, and avow their
intentions to close their establishments if it be not
rescinded.

It is reported that the island of St. Michael has
pronounced for Des ANTAS.
The QUEEN and KING CONSORT are at Belem.

The squadron in the Tagus, under Vice-Admiral
Sir William Parker, Bart., when the Polyphemus
left, consisted of the Hibernia, 100 (flag), Captain
Richards; the Trafalgar, 120, Captain Nott ; the
Rodney, 92, Captain Edward Collier; the Albion, 90,
Captain Lockyer ; the Superb, 80, Captain Correy ;
the Canopus, 84, Captain Moresby ; the Nautilus, 10,
Commander M`Donnell, which sailed the 17th for
Oporto, but anchored again off Belem; and the
steam-sloops Cyclops, 6, Captain Lapidge ; Rattler,
5, Captain Smith ; and Phoenix, 4, Commander
Dennis. The latter was grounded to have her stern-
post caulked.
The America, 50, Captain the Hon. John Gordon,
had sailed a few days before for Corunna.

Madrid papers of the 14th and 15th have arrived.
According to the Clamor Publico bands of Car-
lists have appeared in Catalonia. It was said that
Senor Mori had commenced a prosecution against the
members of the Progressista Election Committee, for
having asserted in their circular that he had mis-
applied the public finances.

We have received the Paris papers of Friday and
Saturday.

The annexation of Cracow is the subject of com-
ment in all of them. We are glad to perceive from
the following article, which appears in the Constitu-
tionnel of Friday, that justice is rendered, by one class
of politicians at least in the French capital, to the
motives which have actuated the conduct of the Libe-
ral Government of England towards France :
" When Lord Palmerston," says the Constitutionnel,
" declared in Parliament that the Treaties of Vienna were
no less binding on the Vistula than they were upon the
Rhine and on the Po, his Lordship extended his hand to
our true policy. The day those words were pro-
nounced was the time when the real importance of
our union with England could have been more clearly
tested. France, not England, has to complain of the
Treaties of Vienna. The maintenance of Polish
nationality is for England a question of philanthropy
and right of nations ; for France, it was the only
compensation for our losses and misfortunes. If the
Chambers annually protest in the name of the nationality
of the Poles, it is because all attempt against the inde-
pendence of the continent is a violent attempt against
the real interests of France. The question affects our
very vitals. Nevertheless it was at the moment when
those sentiments were expressed in the British Parlia-
ment, that our Ministers deemed it expedient to break off
with the Liberals on the other side of the Channel, who
had thus compromised themselves in the eyes of the
Absolutist Powers. Thoso men, said they, to the Ca-
binets of St. Petersburgh and Vienna, are firebrands;
we are wise, and we belong to the great political family
of the Conservatives. Then, parodying the policy of
Louis XIV., our statesmen contracted a marriage, not
with the Queen of Spain, but with the Infanta of Spain, '
praying Heaven to permit that the Infanta should never
become heiress to the throne. In the meantime,
M. Guizot, offering the liberty of Switzerland
as a sacrifice, implored the alliance of Prince
Metternich, boasted of having secured Russian
alliance, calumniated the Liberal Cabinet of England,
and claimed a place among Legitimate Governments.
But the statesman who rules over Austria, and whose
age has not impaired his fatal ability, without replying,
without complaining of the Spanish marriage, observing
a strict neutrality, was preparing for us the most cruel
blow, the most poignant humiliation that had ever been
inflicted on us. It was not enough to marry an:arch-
duchess to the Pretender of the elder branch of the
Bourbons, he isolated us in Europe, and persists in
treating us as a revolutionary Government in spite of
ourselves. We have not been consulted respecting the
execution of treaties to which France is a party. We
were not even admitted to the honour of destroying the
liberty and existence of the republic of Cracow. Our
Government was never more roughly chastised for having
disregarded its principle, forgotten its origin, abandoned
the cause of liberty in the world, renounced without motive
its natural alliances, and aspired, under tho name of Con- .
