DATED ALLAHABAD, 6TH SEPTEMBER, 1.5 F.M.

At Gwalior four Sepoys of the 25th Bombay
Native Infantry, Hindoos of Oude, being instigated
by a Brahmin to induce their regiment to join the
Nana, informed their officers, pretended to Join the
plot, were introduced to several conspirators, and
induced them to come near cantonments and shoW
to the Havildar-Major a perwannah from the
Nana. As arranged beforehand, two officers ap-
peared, and the conspirators were seized. Other
arrests also have been made by the Political Agent
at Gwalior, and the perwannah, which bears
date May last, is in his possession. Capt. Nixon,
the Biterotpore Political Agent, proceeded to Ulwar
on the 30th ult., and was well received by the
Thakoors and city people. The feelings of the
Thakoors are greatly excited against the Mahe'
medan party, in consequence of their deceitful iii'
tention to appoint one of their own class to be
Killadar and also to make the boy Rajah turn
Mahomedan. Though a mere child, the Rajah IS
violently opposed to the Thakoors, and Captain.
Nixon apprehends mischief unless an European
officer is deputed to Ulwar. It is reported from.
the Punjab that the men of the 62d and 69th
Infantry have broken away from Mooltan ' • the
Adjutant of the Bombay Fusiliers and four artily
lerymen killed. No further particulars received.
From Sultanpore, Oude, we hear thatnearly all the
rebels are at Jugdespore, 20 miles from Sultanporet
on the Lucknow road. They number:about 5,000
and are said to have eight guns. In the fort of
Amethee there are reported to be 1,000 men and 2%
guns.
The rest of the rebels have gone either to
their homes or to Byswarra. The boats had arrived
at Sultanpore, and the bridge would probably be
ready by the 2d.

Captain Mayne reports from Gooindale tluit Tan.,
tia Topee is making for Bhopaul ; his advanced
guard was at Kelchepore on the Ist., intending to
march by Rajghur and Beoura on the 3d. The
telegraph•people and Bunneahs had feft Beoura,
Colonel Lockhart's force was at Serome on the lot
of September, and Colonel Hoane, with 1,100 men,
left Indore for Auguran on the 3d. On the other
hand, from Sir Robert Hamilton's telegram of the
3d it would appear that the rebels were still at
Jhalra Patun ; they are reported by Sir Robert to
be in full possession of that town, and to be pre-
paring for the defensive, and throwing up breast-
works on the road approaching. The Raj RannalL
had fled from Jhalra and was expected in Colonel
Lockhart's camp. Ramdhum Singh, formerly /11

suddenly on an Agra Tussildaree, in the territory'
west of Paree, and has taken possession of it wig&
an armed force. Some of the Puttealah Sikhs A
Dholepore
, with some of the Rannah's toops, have
been detached to expel the invaders.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
THE CALCUTTA MARKET, SEPT. 8.
On the 26th ult, the electric telegraph from Madras, dated
23d idem, gave us the mail news per Candia, from London,
of the 26th of July. On the 27th she arrived here, as w. 6
had our letters and papers by her late at night. On, he ;31
inst. we received our advices from London of the 2d
August by the Bombay route.
The produce-market has continued steady, and busines.4
to a fair extent has been done in all articles. Latterly there
has been less disposition evinced to operate in saltpetre a3l". oil seeds, as also in jute, and consequently prices have bees
slightly in favour of buyers. Raw silk in excellent demand,
at higher prices. Sugar is also higher. Corahs rather stiff,
and more doing. Lao dye continues dull. Shellac five,
but less doing. Rice continues a dead letter for the home
markets. Safflower moves very slowly.
The import market continues in a healthy position ; the
demand, as is always the case at this time of the year, 1*
brisk for all British piece goods and yarns. We do not e:5-
pect any change for the worse soon, but it is very likely
that when our rivers again become unnavigable there NW'
be a slackness in the market. Metals still continue dull.
The money-market continues in the same easy position. no

and the general sound position of most joint-stock assoco_
tions cause scrip to be held firmly. The Inland Steae",
Company's shares are the most favoured, and they continua
at a high premium. Coal shares are also well favoured
owing to the increased and growing demand for this mine,

Company's papers have not advanced as was expected!
and the Four per Cents. are at 15 to 15-4, and the Five po
Cents. at 7 7-8 discount. Native traders seem to entertain
a doubt as to the British Government recognising these loane
with the fact before them that the- British capitaliks haoa
subscribed in London to a loan on the same security at
per cent. interest, which is there marketable at par. "'here
can be little doubt that the open Company's Five per Centime

.EXTRAORDINARY PROCEEDINGS AT
NEWCASTLE.

We have received from a correspondent at NOW
castle-on-Tyne the following narrative of sore°
extraordinary proceedings of which that town h°
aof the
great deal
this week been the scene
lespecially in the Westgate Ward. Mr. WIT: •

excitement in Ne
Dunn, a Roman catholic gentleman of consideraW
influence and wealth, represents that ward, and 3
strong feeling of antagonism has been arousal
against him on account of his faith. The Daihil
Express has taken up the case in this sense Nvi
great vehemence, and letters and articles ham
appeared commenting with unqualified severity on
its opponents, and the means adopted by them t4/_,
further their electioneering purposes. On Tuesday
morning last a letter appeared in the Daily Express,
attributing to the French Consul, the Count de
Marincourt—the agent, as it called him, of the
exists,c a nt castle-on-Tyne e prospecto _Ty u e
arch-traitor and plotter against his country
liberty, Louis Napoleon—an interference with th°
canvass in the ward. The son of the consul, lately
an officer in the French army, who was stayll
with his father at the time, called at the office an
left a card for the editor of the Daily Express:
desiring that that gentleman would meet him. !;
the smoking-room of the Central Exchange ne
morning. Ihe letter further threatened to chastis
the editor at his own house if he did not keep
t
his appointment. Of course the appointment
was not kept, and M. de Marincourt returned home'
Shortly afterwards he obtained a copy of the Dog
Express of Wednesday, and found an article in
it reflecting on the count in the most violent man:
ner. " Now," says the Daily Express, " there ar°
two kinds of French counts—if a professor of Or
thing from language or legerdemain comes foul
America, the chances are that he is a major et
something between that and a general ; if on the
other your necromancer or dancing master collie!
from France he is pretty certain to be a.
There are no doubt real counts as well as pinch"
becks, but whether M. de Marinconrt belongs t°
the one class or the other, whether his affinitie!
connect him with the Count Montalembert or Coullb
Borromeo, the most impudent impostor on ~
treadmill, he is eq
an English
precluded from interfering
election." The articiv
iP,g..
with the course of
concludes with this advice : " Monsieur must follolv
,
Madame." To understand the last allusion it 1S
necessary to explain that " Madame" was the
keeper of a notorious house in Newcastle, so notor,.
de
ous that she was handed out of the town by the
police. On the publication of this article, M.
_
Marincourt, the son of the consul, proceeded to tin
office of the paper, demanded to see the editor, and
on the hesitation of the people to tell him where °
could be found, the young man pulled out a pistol'
and threatened them if they would not inform hira'
On learning the place where the editor could-b°
found, he drove thither in a cab, and entered the
library where the editor was sitting ; on inquiri-06
if he were the editor, he ordered him, with similar
threats, to come to apologise to the count, his
father. A most humble apology was made, an
the editor of the Daily Express was released fron!
detention. On investigation, we learn
,that tliv
count denies having ever interfered in the election'
and that he was, moreover, entirely ignorant of .his
son's movements till the editor was brought in,t,
his room in captivity. An address of ,sympat".l
and confidence to the count is in course of prepal
