I started 227 of the 84th Regiment, partly in bullock
vans, they are to march 25 miles a night, t reach in
five days. I start this afternoon by dark, and shall
overtake the 84th and move up with them ; I will go on
belore them if I car, ; I shall loge no time. The muti-
neers are out of caps, and have converted all the det ma•
tore into matchlocks. A Cossici from Lucknow declares
that the mutineers thereare in want of shot, firing stones
front the guns.
News has been received, that Sir Henry Lawrence
was wounded on his return from an attack on the rebels
advancing on Lucknow, on the 2d instant, and that he
sank under the effects of his wounds on the 40) inst.
It is repotted ,from Lucknow (au the 10th July) that
the attacks of the rebels are less frequent and more
feeble than heretofore.

the value of such property.

COMMERCIAL.
CA.LCIIrTA, JULY 19.

Oar produce market remains much the same as last
represented. The insecurity in the transit and the
difficulty in effecting insurance have tended to check
supplies to this market. There seems a general desire
for purchase by shippers, but the ruling high prices and
paucity of produce restrain operations.
In imports, the transactions which have taken place
in twist and gray cottons since our last are entirely for
lower Bengal. The market for metals continues dull,
scarcely any transaction has taken plane.
The money market remains much the same as last
repored. Money is plentiful, and the ordinary channel
for its employment is entirely shut up. Sums to large
extent are available for even short periods on most rea-
sonable terms. Good papers may easily be discounted
iu the bazaar at 6 to 7 per cent., and ey,m at lower
rates. The Bank of Bengal reduced last week its rates
of discount on Government acceptances and mint certi-
ficates 2 per cent. -
Government securities have beenfluctuating, and there
has not been much doing.
EXCHANGE ON LONDON.—Tbe amount sot 1. for this
mail ass been considerable, considering the check the
import market has felt, and the reduced extent of busi-
ness. Bank bills amounting to about seven lakhs A hich
were received by the last steamers from China, have
gradually found buyers at 2s. 64., whilst American
credits in small sums have fetched the same rate.
A considerable business has been done in first rate
credits generally at 2s. 21d. Document bills at 24 20.
to 2s. 24d.
FREIGHTS.—The supply exceeds the requiremen'., and
rates for London and Liverpool have had a further
downward tendency.

BOMBAY, Jutr 29;

The tightness in-our money market, reported in our
last, has, if anything, increased during the past fort-
night, and looking at the present aspect of affairs all over
the country, we do not anticipate a change for the better
for some time to come. The banks have not yet altered
the rates of interest.

'The Governmonr have Issued a notification to the
effect that until further notice holders of 4 per cent.
paper can pay into the open 5 per cent. loan one half in
cash and ne half in the said promissory notes, the
effect of which has been to lower the price of fives to 93,
and raise fours to 85. Our local pint stock shares
keep pretty firm at about former quotations.
TONNAGE.—The rates for Liverpool have been steady,
while those for London have risen materially on account
of there being only one vessel available at, present. We
quo e 21. to 2/. 7s. 6d. for Liverpool, and 2/. 15'. for
London.
EXCHANGE.—The bulk of the transactions for this
mail have bees done at 2s. 211. ; at one time bids sold
28. 2d., and in a few isidated oases a trifle lower, but
for the last day or two the market has had ae upward
feeling.

CHINA.

We take the fell, wing from the Overland China
Mail of the 10th July :—" The great event of the
fortnight has been the arrival, on the 2d inst. of
the Rlght Hon. tue Earl of. Elgin and Kincardine,
C.B. and P.C., her Majesty's Ambassador Extra-
ordinary and iniser Plenipotentiary to China, in
the screw steam frigate Shannon. Lord E'gM, in
company w.tn his Excellency the Naval Com-
mander-in-Chief, will visit the northern ports of
Cain-% and Japan, taking a look at Chusan and
Formosa on their way—some say their real desti-
nation is the Gulf of Pichi-li, and even Peking.
Several screw steamers will accompany them. Mili-
tary operations in the vicinity of Canton, since our
last report, have been insignificant, and amount
only to the capture of two or three armed junks
and snake boats. The gunboat Hardy has arrived
from the river, having on board eight wounded
men of her Majesty's ship Esk, the b cats of
whiCh vessel had had an engagement with
pirates in one of the creks in the imme-
' &ate vicinity of Second 80. Two of our poor
fellows were killed, and three mortally and five
severely woUndel. One pirate-junk only was-t +ken.
From Amoy we hear that fears of local disturbawes
had died away, an,' that bu-ine-s was consequently
on the increa,e. From Ningpo we learn that the
quarrel betw:xt the Cantonese and Portugu.,se has
at length reached a climax, and that a severe.strug-
gle has taken place, in which the latter were de-
feated. On the 25th Jane, a large fleet of Canton
past-caist j>>nks f ern Fuhohan m,de th-ir appear-
ance in the river, and took possession of the Portu-
,guese I.xclts in port without much resist ince, the
craws escaping on shore. The Cantont.se, led on by
foreigners, closely followed, and after some fighting,
totally routed the Portu4uese, but not unit about
20 had been killed. The loss of the victors was by no
means small, and amongst those slain were an Eng-
lishman and a Frenchman. Every pl •ce occupied
by Portugue,e was plundered ; and Marques, their
consul, escaped by concealing himself in the R man
Catholic chapel."

FRANCE.
PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING.

A telegraphic dispatch from Trieste, dated yes-
terday, mentions a report that Lord de Redcliffe
had made overture 3 to the Turkish Minister of,
War for permissi in to send English troops to India
through E f,ypt, and that the negotiation had failed.
Both thel3 atrie and the Presse, admitting, however,
that the news requires confirmation, incline to in-
fer from' t that Lord Palmerston had recourse to
special pleading, when he said he " was not aware"
that any application on the subject had been made
to the "Pacha of Egypt." The Patric, moreover,
sees in the refusal a just revenge for the obstinate
opposition of English statesmen to the piercing of
the Isthmus of Suez.

AMERICA.

(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)

LIVERPOOL, SATIIRD &Y.

The Royal Mail steamship Persia arrived this
morning, with advices from New York to the 19th
inst., 130 passengers, and $1,750,000 in specie.
The Arabia, hence, arrived at New York on the
19th inst. ; she passed the Jason, screw steamship,
ou the 20th, and the American, hence, on the 24th,
both bound west. The news is unimportant.
The steamship Terrance had arrived at New
York with 260 deserters from Walker's army. It
is stated that Walker was organising a subscription
for another filibustering movement. Mr Cunning-
ham h-id been p'aced in prison at the Tombs amid
great excitement.

dition. Capital was abundant on first-rate securi-

SHANGEIAE, JULY 18.
SILK.—The new crop is the most abundant on record,
and for excellence of quality and other favourahl3
characteristics stands unrivalled. Of new Bilk the
arrivals already reach the unprecedented heavy total
of 12 000 bales ; the demand has been equally active.
10,000 bales have been taken over in Shanghae,
despite the exorbitant rates exacted and obtaine 1 at
the opening of the new campaign, and au advance of 10
per cent, thereon has been demanded by the dealers and
freely paid by our buyers. The total settlement to pre-
sent date for the season ending 30th instant is therefore
98,000 bales. with every probability of reaching, if not
exceeding 100,000.

EXCHANGE has now varied mote than id to ld per tael

LOSS OF THE TRANSIT.
SINGAPORE, JULY 19.
On the 13th instant, he Netherlands Majesty's
war st-amer Montrade arrived here from Minto,
having on board Lieut. Dlivnes, belonging to her
Majesty's steam transport Transit, and bringing ac-
counts of the total lo :,s of the later vessel in the
Straits of Banca, by striking upon a rock or coral
reef, distant four miles from the shore, at 9 o'clock
in the morning, and want down in 1 ss than two
hours. The bead of the vessel rests on the rock, just
above water, but at the stern there, are 11 fathoms,
and on one side of the vessel so much as 17 fathoms.
The troops on hoard and crew were saved, as
.also pla of the military armament. On reaching
the shore tents were placed for the accommodation
of the people, who succe.e led in reaching the Island
of Banea in the ship's boats. Lieutenant Downes
was despatched. to Minto for assistance, and the
Dutch resident at once despatched th et officer in a
war steamer to Singapore. On arrival of the news
here the senior naval officer (Captain Barnard, of
her Majesty's ship Racehorse) immediately de-
spached her Majesty's ship Actaeon and the
slam gun-boat Dove, as a'so chartered the
American clipper ship Beaver, to br,ng up the
troops and crew. On the 16th the Governor of Sin-
gapore sent the Hon. Company's steamer Hooghly
to afford aid,. and, I hear that the Sir James
Brooke steamer, bet urging to the Borneo Com-
pany, has been chartered for the same destination,
and sails to day. We suppose that arrangements
will be made to forward the troops on to Calcutta,
where their presence is much required.
The Transit has been one of the most unfortunate
Vessels in the service. On her recent voyage she
sailed upon her anchor, and all but foundered be-
fore leaving England, then put into Corruna, and
has finally wrecked herself when within 100 miles
of Singapore. .

The ab lye Trie3te despatch pretends that M. de
Prokesch is getting up a collective demand by all
the great powers for the restitution of the Isle of
Perim. Is it for this that we have formed an
Austrian alliance ?

BRITISH ARCH2EOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION.—On Thurs-
day a large party of the members of this association
started for Great Yarmouth for the purpose of inspecting
the antiquities of that town and the neighbourhood.
The visitors were received in the Town-ball by the
Mayor, Mr. C. C. Aldred. Mr. C. J. Palmer, de-
puty mayor, officiated as conductor of the party in
the absence of Mr. Aldred, and the visitors first pro-
ceeded to inspect Mr. Palmer's mansion on the south
quay. This house was built in 1516 by Mr. Benja-
min Cowper, and it afterwards passed into the p
session of Mr. John Carter, whose son, Benjamin
Carter, married Mary, daughter of General Ireton by
his wife, Bridget, eldest daughter of Oliver Cromwell.
If tradition is to be believed, a final meeting to con-
sult as to what was to be done with Charles I , pre-
vious to bringing him to trial, was held in one of the
apartments. Mr. Palmer next conducted the party
to the fragmentary remains of Grey Friars Monastery.
Attention was directed to some inerchente marks in
front of a house on the South-quay, and a visit was paid
to a house close by, in which there is a fine moulded
ceiling of the time of James I. Some remains of the
old town wall and a defence raised in 1588 against the
Spanish Armada, which seas then supposed to be near
the, coast, were also pointed out, with the ruins of
keno towers of the date of Henry 111., and one or two
other objects of interest. Mr. Palmer pointed out some
curious archways, &c., and exhibited a charter of King
J ihn, by which Yarmouth was made a free port. The
company then proceeded to the beautiful church of St.
Nicholas, built about the year 1100 by Herbert de
Loainga, Bishop of Norwich. The architectural features
of the church having been explained by Mr. Palmer and
Mr. C. E. Davis, the party proceeded, after a short in-
terval of rest, to Caistor Caster, said to have been built
by Sir John rastolf about the early part of the 15,h
century. The castle is in ruins, and only some portions
of the north and west walls, with the tower, remain.
A paper was read by Mr. T. J. Pettigrew on the history
of the castle and on' a Roman station supposed to be
the ancient Garianonum. From Caistor the party pro-
ceeded to Burgh, from wleich place they returned to the
Town-ball at Yarmouth. There a public dinner took
place, and a meeting at 'Mr. Palmer's house followed.
Finally the visitors returned to Norwich by a special
train, which left Yarmouth at 10.30. Ye.terday an
cxeursion was made into West Norfolk, East Dereharn
Cottrell, Walsiogham, and Binham Priories, and East
Bireham-ball being among the objects of interest visited.
HE VALUE OF A KENTISH ESTATE.—Yesterday,
at the Auction Mart, Mr. Norton, of the firm of Nor.
ton, Hoggist, and Trist, offered to public auction the
va cable estate of Hernsted, situtated near Cranbrook,
in the Weald of Kent, fir many years the residence of
the late Mr. Thomas L. Hodges, comprising 4 500 acres
of freehold land, divided into farms, with fine old man-
sion and officers, gardens, and extensive pleasure
grounds, and having great sporting advantages,—the
aunui.l rental, 4,6601. ; also the advowson of the vicar-
age of Benenden, with tithe commuted rent-charge of
5001. per annum,—the incumbent being nearly 80 years
of age. It was spiel at 125,000/., to Mr. Hardy, NI P.
MILES DARDEN, THE GREAT AMERICAN GIANT.
Some weeks ago (says the Jackson, Tenn., TVltig), we
gave a few facts in regard to the weight sad dimensions
of this ex raordinary man, and promised our readers,
through the courtesy of a friend in Henderson county,
further items of interest.. He writes as follows:—" Mr.
Darden was born in North Carolina, in 1798, and de-
parted this life, at his residence in Henderson county,
Tennessee, on Jan. 23, 1857, in the 59th year of his age.

after emigrated to Tennessee, where he connected him
feef with what is called the Christian church, but had not
been a member of any church for years past, but was
moral and fend of conversing on religious subjects. He
was an obliging and kind neighbour, and fond of com-
pany ; and about 15 years ago be joined the order of
Masone He was twice married. His chil Iren are very
large, but probably none of them will ever be more than
half the weight of their fattier. He was active and lively,
and laboured until about 4 years ago, when he became
so fleshy that he was compelled to stay at home, or be
hauled ab ut in a two-horse waggon. In 1848 he made a
contract w th a tailor to furnish him with a suit of clothes

REPRESENTATION OF OLDEASI. —Several meetings of
electors have already t.ke place in reference to the
vacancy caused by the fatal accident to Mr. Plate-, and
we understand that there is a strong feeling in !Avonr of
zuminating Mr. Cobden.
